Messe Frankfurt looks back on a 45-year-long tradition of success in the automotive industry and takes this opportunity to thank its long-term and loyal exhibitors. It has come up with something special for this occasion: the artist and photographer Rafael Neff has converted several customer products into theme worlds that are featured in the 2016 Automechanika calendar: Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG, BBS GmbH, Brembo S.p.A., Continental Aftermarket GmbH,Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbH,Hella KGaA Hueck & Co, Johnson Controls Autobatterie GmbH & Co. KGaA, Liqui Moly GmbH, Mahle GmbH, MANN+HUMMEL GmbH, RECARO Automotive Ltd. & Co. KG, Schaeffler AG, ZF Friedrichshafen AG. The high-quality calendar was presented at the ‘We say THANKS’ ceremony in the Klassikstadt Frankfurt, to which Messe Frankfurt issued an invitation.
Automechanika is certainly the most exciting success story in 45 years. The story began in 1971 with the first Automechanika in Frankfurt, which was christened when the IAA was cancelled. In subsequent years, the trade fair has made outstanding progress, advancing to the world’s leading trade fair, which is now held in fifteen locations worldwide. In the meantime, Messe Frankfurt is also organising a series of new B2B trade fairs for trucking and logistics and B2C events for automobiles, bikes, and boats.

This February, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) is celebrating National Children’s Dental Health Month by hosting the Tournament of Tooth Care, showcasing how parents and caregivers can help their kids fend off the Mouth Monsters –a.k.a. tooth decay. Parents and caregivers can tune in to the Mouth Madness to learn how to help little teeth take on the Mouth Monsters one big game at a time.
“Tooth decay in children is a major health epidemic for adolescents across the country,” said Dr. Robert Delarosa, AAPD President. “National Children’s Dental Health Month is a great time for parents to keep their children’s dental health top of mind. Make it a priority this month to find a Dental Home – or home base – for your child’s oral health needs and be sure your next check-up is on the calendar.”
Tooth decay is one of the top chronic infectious diseases among children in the U.S. About 60 percent of children will have had tooth decay at some point by age five. More than 50 million school hours are missed every year by school-aged children in the U.S. due to dental visits or problems. And tooth decay isn’t just bad for oral health; children who develop tooth decay at a young age are at a greater risk for developing problems with oral and general health, as well as with educational and social development.

Dilimizde ne yazık ki maymun kelimesi, bir kurt, kaplan ya da aslan kadar itibarlı değil. Yahudiler için "aşağılık maymunlar olun" diyen bir kitabın müritlerinin maymun kelimesini aşağılama sayması şaşırtıcı değil.
Biz dinsizleri (yani onların deyişiyle pis kafirleri) tanımlamak için de "işte maymun olduğunuzu kabul ediyorsunuz "diye aklınca bizi aşağıladığını sanan müslümanlardan da alet yapabilen (en azından kuyruksuz olanlar, yani ape'ler), zeka sahibi, sosyal canlıları hangi seviyede gördüklerini anlayabiliyoruz.
Maymun var maymun var. Kuyruklusu var, ortak atadan 5 milyon yıl önce ayrıldığımız kuyruksuzu, yani kuzenlerimiz olan insansı maymunlar var.
Yere göğe koyamadığın aslanın, kurdun önüne ayna koysan mal mal bakar, ama sen en yakın akraban olmasını kendine yediremediğin kuyruksuz maymunun önüne ayna tutarsan özfarkındalığıyla "benden güzeli var mı?" diye içinden geçirmediğini kim söyleyebilir?
Hayvanlar aleminde kendini en üstte tutan aciz insanoğlu, kendini yüceltme için verdiğin hayvan sıfatlarını seçerken bir kere daha düşün!
Sentetik biyoloji, bilim dünyasında giderek önem kazanmaya başlayan bir alan haline geldi. İngiltere hükümeti de bu alanı öncelikleri arasına aldı. Bu yeni bilim dalı, daha önce doğada varolmayan canlı organizmayı tasarlayıp yaratmayı amaçlıyor. Çalışmayı yürüten bilim insanları, bu sıradışı teknolojiyle yeni yakıt ve ilaç türleri için büyük bir fırsat doğacağı görüşünde. Ancak çevreciler, bu yeni organizmaların doğaya yayılmasının risklerine dikkat çekiyor.
