A home-based parenting programme to prevent childhood behaviour problems, which very unusually focuses on children when they are still toddlers and, in some cases, just 12 months old, has proven highly successful during its first public health trial.
The six-session programme involves providing carefully-prepared feedback to parents about how they can build on positive moments when playing and engaging with their child using video clips of everyday interactions, which are filmed by a health professional while visiting their home.
The city of Columbus has received an overwhelming number of comments asking for a more aggressive reduction in carbon air emissions than proposed in its draft climate action plan.
A draft of the city s 49-page plan calls for the city to make a 25% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline.
Critics of the city s plan say the reduction doesn t go far enough, citing the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which calls for a 45% reduction in carbon emissions worldwide by 2030 in order to stop the planet from warming at higher rates. Carbon emissions are mainly from burning fossil fuels in vehicles and factories, but also can be exacerbated by increasing development and sweeping deforestation.
NASA s Mars Perseverance rover has been traveling through space since July.
But on Thursday, the six-wheeled rover, equipped with a barrage of savvy sensing instruments and cameras, will descend into Mars thin atmosphere using a combination of rocket boosters and a composite-based fabric parachute for drag. The components, making it possible to land, were tested in Ohio.
The journey to the Red Planet has been about 687 Earth days long.
The 1,200-pound rover, which is the size of a small sport utility vehicle, is expected to land at the Jezero Crater on Mars at approximately 3:55 p.m.
The world will be watching as it collects signs of microbial life past and present on the Martian terrain. Researchers will use that information to plan for future missions, including sending astronauts to Mars in the next decade.
