There are countless mysterious artifacts that sit at some table with the best experts trying to decipher them. From time to time we get a glimpse of some of the weirdest old objects that sometimes just seem just ridiculous to exist. We have seen ancient artifacts that even resemble today’s objects or machines, such as airplanes or spaceships But one of them has unleashed the controversy of its authenticity is the famous “cell phone” 800 years old. This mysterious object was found in Austria and strangely resembles a cell phone “today”. The buttons and the display are aligned exactly the same as an old Nokia cell phone. The numerical keys have ancient Mesopotamian writings known as “cuneiform writing”. Many conspirators, UFO hunters, websites and YouTube channels have shared their views regarding the old mobile object. However, recently, the true origin of the “800-year-old cell phone” was finally revealed. The piece of clay is real. Watch the video to know more!

What is Biodynamic Farming? Biodynamic agriculture is a method of organic farming originally developed by Rudolf Steiner that employs what proponents describe as “a holistic understanding of agricultural processes”.:145 One of the firstsustainable agriculture movements, it treats soil fertility, plant growth, and livestock care as ecologicallyinterrelated tasks, emphasizing spiritual and mystical perspectives. Proponents of biodynamic agriculture, including Steiner, have characterized it as “spiritual science” as part of the larger anthroposophy movement. Read more about Biodynamics and Anthroposophy.

At first thought the skin is an unlikely culprit in hypertension. However, the skin represents the human body’s largest organ system with an estimated 12-15% of body weight and a surface area of 1-2 square meters making the skin an ideal reservoir for sodium. In 2009 Machnik et al reported an interesting finding in the journal Nature Medicine. This group found that the interstitium of the skin serves a dynamic role in serving as a reservoir to buffer sodium accumulation in intravascular volume and blood pressure. They found that during high-salt feeding, mice accumulated sodium in the subdermal interstitial spaces at hypertonic concentrations. Macrophages sense the hypertonicity leading to expression of tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein (TonEBP). TonEBP leads to VEGF-C expression which is a potent inducer of lymphatics allowing for a greater reservoir to store sodium. This same group has also reported that tissue sodium content indeed did accumulate in various tissue beds of hypertensive patients using MRI. Matthew Sparks, MD

Quadrilateral just means “four sides” A Quadrilateral has four-sides, it is 2-dimensional (a flat shape), closed (the lines join up), and has straight sides. Try drawing a quadrilateral, and measure the angles. They should add to 360° There are special types of quadrilateral: Some types are also included in the definition of other types! For example a square, rhombus and rectangle are also parallelograms. You can find if a shape has a Line of Symmetry by folding it. When the folded part sits perfectly on top (all edges matching), then the fold line is a Line of Symmetry. Here I have folded a rectangle one way, and it didn’t work. So this is not a Line of Symmetry But when I try it this way, it does work (the folded part sits perfectly on top, all edges matching): So this is a Line of Symmetry

|D O W N L O A D| Every welding project is completed one weld bead at a time. From fabrication and repair shops, arc welding is one of the most common and versatile methods of joining the metal. The present video film has been specifically developed for the people who already have some very basic knowledge of the welding processes but lack of the required practical experience. This video will explain the basic welding techniques, tell them about the proper preparation for the welding and also the welding sequence to be followed in order to establish a high-quality weld seam. Note that the content of the film will be very useful and informative not only to the students and future welders or hull constructors, but also for the people who are already working with welding and wish to improve their welding skills or to refresh them. Take some fifty minutes watching the film and you will know nearly everything about arc welding process. The "Read Later" function allows you to add material to this block with just one click. Just click on the icon and read the articles that interest you at any convenient time.

Article 9 represents to me the souls of 20 million people killed in Japan's wars in the Asia-Pacific. More broadly, Article 9 represents to me the more than 90 million people that state violence killed in the 20th century –– the bloodiest century in human history. And, of course, the millions of survivors of the wars who are still suffering. Those who say we should change it simply because of the current geopolitical situation are so narrow-sighted. Shuichi Kato (Article 9 Association co-founder) said we learn history so that we can detect signs in the current society that could lead us to repeat our past mistakes. We learn about the Nanjing Massacre and check whether in our present society the kind of racism that fueled those crimes still remains in our mind. Article 9 is the hard––the hardest lesson –– learnt from Japan’s history. We should never detach the Article 9 debate from its historical context. When we think about Article 9 with its wartime historical perspective, I can't believe anybody would want to change it.

Eight lions, a puma, two bobcats and a coyote rescued from circuses in Mexico arrived safely in Colorado and their new home at a wildlife refuge center. The animals were transported to the United States on a flight dubbed “Trip to Freedom” after Mexico outlawed the use of animals in circuses in January. Many of them were found emaciated and in poor condition and were treated in Mexico before being shipped to the United States. The Wild Animal Sanctuary, which was established in 1980, is the oldest and largest nonprofit sanctuary in the United States dedicated exclusively to rescuing captive exotic and endangered carnivores. It is home to more than 400 rescued animals. The sanctuary “has ideal conditions that the animals should have always been in,” said Natural Resources deputy Ignacio Millan before the animals departed a Navy airport hangar in Mexico City. Animal abuse and neglect in Mexico is a “serious” problem and federal authorities have rescued 420 large cats, Millan said. Sources | http://www.reuters.com | phys.org

Environmental contaminants might affect racetrack drug tests Because tests that screen equine blood and urine samples are sensitive enough to pick up sub-nanogram amounts of drugs, it's possible that some drugs detected could come from the tracks' environment, says Steven A. Barker, BS, MS, PhD, Everett D. Besch Distinguished Professor of Veterinary Medicine. Researchers collected samples at four Louisiana tracks from soil in barn stalls, other stall surfaces, barn dust and lagoon waters along the track and performed standard drug testing procedures. The tests picked up non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs, including phenylbutazone, flunixin and naproxen, most of it from stall floors, along with high concentrations of caffeine, Barker says. The fact that it's unlikely caffeine is being directly administered to horses shows that drugs and other contaminants likely are entering horses' environment inadvertently. Especially under today's stricter new guidelines in the racing industry, regulatory officials, including veterinarians, along with trainers and owners, should be aware of all potential sources of contamination when drug tests are performed, Barker says. The Louisiana researchers' study originally was published in the October 2008 issue of the Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

In animals, the melatonin biosynthesis pathway has been well defined after the isolation and identification of the four key genes that are involved in the conversion of tryptophan to melatonin. In plants, there are special alternative catalyzing steps, and plant genes share very low homology with the animal genes. It was of interest to examine the phenotype of transgenic Micro-Tom tomato plants overexpressing the homologous sheep oAANAT and oHIOMT genes responsible for the last two steps of melatonin synthesis. The oAANAT transgenic plants have higher melatonin levels and lower indoleacetic acid (IAA) contents than control due to the competition for tryptophan, the same precursor for both melatonin and IAA. Therefore, the oAANAT lines lose the ‘apical dominance’ inferring that melatonin likely lacks auxin activity. The significantly higher melatonin content in oHIOMT lines than oAANAT lines provides new proof for the important role of ASMT in plant melatonin synthesis. In addition, the enhanced drought tolerance of oHIOMT lines will also be an important contribution for plant engineering.

The Prefect Sempronius wished Agnes to marry his son, and on Agnes' refusal he condemned her to death. As Roman law did not permit the execution of virgins, Sempronius had a naked Agnes dragged through the streets to a brothel. Various versions of the legend give different methods of escape from this predicament. In one, as she prayed, her hair grew and covered her body. It was also said that all of the men who attempted to rape her were immediately struck blind. When led out to die she was tied to a stake, but the bundle of wood would not burn, or the flames parted away from her, whereupon the officer in charge of the troops drew his sword and beheaded her, or, in some other texts, stabbed her in the throat. Agnes is depicted in art with a lamb, as her name resembles the Latin word for "lamb", agnus.

Human impacts on river water quality have long been recognised. In more recent years focus has switched to the physical damage of rivers – caused by altering flows, channelisation, the construction of flood defences, dredging and weir/dam impoundment. Restoration activities aim to restore the biodiversity and key features of rivers that are lost through physical damage.Defining restoration: “River restoration is the re-establishment of natural physical processes (e.g. variation of flow and sediment movement), features (e.g. sediment sizes and river shape) and physical habitats of a river system (including submerged, bank and floodplain areas)” CREW River Restoration and Biodiversity, 2016 A natural river has processes that create habitats supporting rich wildlife & species diversity – find out more on our river habitats & wildlife page. Here are some of the restoration projects already delivered within the catchment.

This month’s New Moon brought a total solar eclipse to parts of planet Earth on Nov. 13 (UT). Most of the total eclipse track fell across the southern Pacific, but the Moon’s dark umbral shadow began its journey in northern Australia on Wednesday morning, local time. From along the track, this telescopic snapshot captures the Moon’s silhouette in skies over Queensland along the Mulligan highway west of Port Douglas. Almost completely covered, the Sun’s disk is seen still surrounded by a hint of the faint solar corona. Planet-sized prominences stretch above the active Sun’s edge. SEE COMPLETE TEXT

It's been decades since the Ku Klux Klan held mainstream status, but a recent deadly rampage at a Jewish community center and living community near Kansas City served as a reminder that the nation’s best-known white-supremacy organization has not completely disappeared. Today's Klan lacks national leadership, but it counts between 5,000 and 8,000 members. That's a fraction of its peak membership, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which tracks hate groups. Splintered groups that identify with the Klan's rhetoric are organizing outreach initiatives by launching radio stations, distributing fliers and leaving behind the iconic white hoods for business suits. On the heels of a white-supremacist with long-standing KKK ties being charged with a hate crime, TIME's Josh Sanburn explains the legacy and the national presence of the Ku Klux Klan today.

If you get depressed about the plethora of news about environmental woes, here's a bit of news that should make you breathe easier. NASA has just released new images from its Aura satellite, which was launched back in 2004 to study the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere. They show that over the past decade, the amount of nitrogen dioxide -- a yellow-brown gas produced by gasoline-burning car engines and coal-burning electrical power plants that can cause respiratory problems -- has decreased. That's true, even though the U.S. population has increased and there are more cars on the road. NEWS: Air Pollution Takes a Toll on Children's Lungs The satellite observations show that even New York City, the most densely populous area in the United States, is making major progress in reducing N02 pollution. The city that never sleeps has been working aggressively over the past decade to monitor and reduce air pollution. In the late 2000s, New York began mounting portable air-sampling devices on light poles in all five boroughs. Last year, the city began a pilot program to test quick-charging electric-powered taxis.

To what extent did Laud’s reforms of the COE in the 1630’s undermine the compromise that had been established by Elizabeth I and continued by James I? Plan: (5 minutes) - Star chamber/high commission- enforces religious conformity - Ireland- Thorough- enforces religious conformity - Scotland- Prayer Book Rebellion: new prayer book forced - Change physical appearance of church: not that undermining - Visitations: enforces physical aspects - Book of Sports 1633 Compromise: Jacobean balance- Broad church After 5 minutes… Argument: Laud’s reforms almost completely undermine the compromise: trying to turn England into a strictly controlled nation of Laudians or closet catholics, with imposed reforms and new practices. Not all his reforms affected the compromise that much, but the way in which he enforced all reforms was oppressive and did not allow for independent worship or toleration of Puritanism.

WASHINGTON (CN) – “Knock, knock.” “Who’s there?” “Benzene reduction.” Benzene alkylation is added to the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of approved technologies oil refineries may use to collect early credits when they produce gasoline with an annual average benzene content of 0.62 percent. One percent benzene has been permitted, but since benzene is known to be toxic the percentage allowed in gasoline is being reduced by 2011. Last year’s rule requiring the drop by 2011 skipped alkylation because it was thought to be less cost effective than other methods. The same new rule also includes the process by which a control technology or operational change not listed in the EPA rule may be considered for early credits. Once the actual amount of benzene in a refinery’s gasoline drops to 1.3 percent, credits may be used to bring it down further. Benzene is added to gasoline to keep it from igniting in a car engine more often than when the spark plug sparks, causing the engine to “knock” from the extra explosions. Click here for details and other new rules and notices.

Margaret Truman (February 17, 1924 to January 29, 2008) was the pretty and only child of the man who became a US President, Harry Truman. She married a New York Times reporter. Margaret Truman wrote a number of books referencing the place where her father achieved his greatest fame, Washington and the White House. A series of mystery stories appeared regularly after 1980. These include Murder in the Smithsonian (1983), Murder at the Library of Congress (1998), and Murder at the National Gallery (1996). These titles do not represent an interest in the humanities: glancing at her bibliography we see she has a story for almost every single Washington tourist destination. She also wrote biographies of her mother and father. And The President's House: 1800 to the Present The Secrets and History of the World's Most Famous Home (2005). Calvin Coolidge's menagerie in the White House is not a secret, but we get more details when Truman mentions two of his cats. 'Tiger' was a stray who wandered into the White House, and 'Blacky' was sent to President Coolidge by a nurse in Massachusetts who explained she had no room for the cat. Good insider information to keep.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Want to name Pluto’s two tiniest moons? Then you’ll need to dig deep into mythology. Astronomers announced a contest Monday to name the two moons of Pluto discovered over the past two years. Pluto is the Roman equivalent of the Greek Hades, lord of the underworld, and its three bigger moons have related mythological names: Charon, the ferryman of Hades; Nix, for the night goddess; and the multiheaded monster Hydra. The two unnamed moons — no more than 15 to 20 miles across — need similarly shady references. Right now, they go by the bland titles of P4 and P5. Online voting will last two weeks, ending Feb. 25. Twelve choices are available at www.plutorocks.com. Choices include the hero who slew Hydra, Hercules; and Styx, the river to the underworld. As of Monday afternoon, Styx was leading. Write-in name suggestions are welcomed, but they need to come from Greek or Roman mythology and deal with the underworld.

FIND A PLACE OF FLOW In Positive Psychology, the concept of “Flow” is defined as the “complete immersion in activity for it’s own sake.”(3) When we are in flow, such as when we are running a race, writing a song, or reading a great book, our self-awareness dissipates, time seems to stop, and we become focused, peaceful, and attentive to the task at hand. People who frequently experience flow tend to be happy, productive, creative and focused. You can reach a state of flow by putting special attention to tasks that you find intrinsically rewarding and enjoyable. In other words, carve out some time to do what you LOVE! For more information about how to find your flow, explore Dr. Mikhal Csíkszentmihályi’s book, Finding Flow.

According to a 2012 report, almost 90 percent of Canadian university students drink alcohol, while 32 percent reported drinking heavily at least once a month. What is Binge Drinking? Five or more drinks for males, four or more drinks for females in one occasion is considered Binge Drinking. Examples of binge drinking include; - Playing drinking games (which are NOT permitted on campus) - 'Pre-Drinking' or drinking prior to an event - Avoiding food prior to a night out to get drunk faster - Simply drinking a lot of alcohol quickly to get drunk It takes more than an hour for your body to process one standard drink of alcohol. This rate is constant, no matter how much you drink. The only way to get sober is to stop drinking, and to wait.

In the above diagram father (baba), father's brother (emme), and mother's brother (dayi) each gets a separate term, as is the case for mother, mother's sister and father's sister. There are four cousin terms descriptively designated as children of the distinct parents concerned. There is however one more comprehensive term which includes both brother's and sister's children, yiken, which translates directly to the English term niece or nephew. Such a grouping of relatives is inconsistent the the overall Sudanese pattern of designation. Turkish kinship terminology does not correspond consistently to the structure of kinship roles. The situation is complicated by the use, in the villages, of the standard Turkish terms current in Istanbul, with only relatively minor variations of dialect and usage, although the two societies are very different. (Stirling, Life in a Turkish Village, p. 148)See if you can come up with a better explanation by learning more about Turkish social organization and culture through the WWW edition of Stirling's Turkish Village).

Image Number K7242-20 We pay less for food than citizens of other nations; the United States enjoys the cheapest food in the world. But as you walk through the grocery store, do you ever wonder where such an abundance and variety of food and products came from? Each year, dozens of improved products and new varieties of fruits, nuts, and vegetables emerge from the laboratories and greenhouses of the Agricultural Research Service. Next time you find yourself behind a shopping cart, take a look. You'll find that there's plenty of scientific know-how on your supermarket shelves!

The development of philosophical medicine in the high and late Middle Ages brought with it a powerful association of medical knowledge with the written word. To possess books, or at least to have access to books, was both a prerequisite for and a symbol of the kind of theoretical learning that distinguished the learned practitioner from the empiric. This study examines evidence for women’s access to medical books, raising the question of what difference gender made. I argue that, for the most part, women did not own medical books, whether they were laywomen or religious. I suggest that this was largely due to the limits on advanced education for women, a factor that would have effected both laywomen and nuns.

TRIBAL AFRICAN ART BOA (ABABUA, ABABWA, BABOA, BABUA, BABWA, BUA, BWA) Democratic Republic of the Congo The Boa ethnic group comprises 200,000 savanna-dwelling people living in the northern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Each village is headed by a chief from the most prestigious clan. The Boa are mainly farmers and are in frequent contact with Mangbetu and Zande. The Boa are known principally for their masks, believed to be used in war-related ceremonies, to enhance the warrior's courage or to celebrate victories. These masks have set-apart, prominent, round ears, suggesting alertness, and are covered alternately with dark and light pigments. They have been described as belonging to warrior or secret associations and are considered to be war masks or disguises used in hunting although the precise function of Boa masks is not known. The Boa carve statues with apotropaic functions. They also produce harps with human heads carved at the neck; sometimes the harp body is completely sculptured as a male or female figure.

It’s hard to imagine someone taking their hands off the wheel. Yet it seems the town of Milton Keynes in the U.K. is planning to get driverless cars. Driverless Cars use a combination of already available and approved technologies. They should be street ready soon. Still, policy and legislation lag way behind. [Photo of automated model of an Audi TT, by Steve Jurvetson (Flickr Creative Commons)] I can’t imagine taking my hands off the wheel. Yet it seems the town of Milton Keynes in the U.K. is planning to integrate a fleet of driverless cars into their central area. According to a report from the BBC, the Department of Business plans to have 100 of them on the road by 2017. The cars will use existing pedestrian links that are already in place, thus not having to mix fully with existing non-automated car traffic. What happens if these cars malfunction and collide with a pedestrian? Who will be responsible? What happens when they get stuck?

A defunct German space telescope is set to collide with Earth less than five weeks after a satellite the size of a bus hits the planet. The 2.4-ton Röntgensatellit, or ROSAT, has been spinning aimlessly through space for 12 years after it was switched off in 1999 after its guidance system broke. With its orbit bringing it inexorably closer to Earth, the authorities initially thought it would burn up entirely on re-entry. However, it is now believed that pieces of space junk weighing up to 400kg could smash into the planet’s surface as early as the end of October. And experts warned that ROSAT would not be the last to hit because solar activity next year is likely to damage far more ageing spacecraft and send them plummeting to Earth. ROSAT’s pieces are almost three times heavier than the biggest chunk of UARS, the US satellite which is expected to strike within the next 24 hours.

CARLSBAD, N.M. (KQRE) – There’s been an alarming finding at the WIPP site near Carlsbad. On Wednesday, scientists said they detected radiation in the air a half a mile from the underground nuclear waste plant. Authorities for the Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center says they’ve detected trace amounts of radioactive plutonium and americium. Right now, they say the levels are the highest ever detected in or around the site, but are far below levels deemed unsafe by the agency. Airborne radiation was detected underground over the weekend which has since reached the surface. Next week a complete reading on filters collected should be done.

Only two or three forms of monkey enter the mountains, the langur, a species of Semnopithecus, ranging up to 12,000 ft. Semnopithecus schistaceus was found by Captain Hutton at an elevation of 11,000 feet in the Himalayas, leaping actively among fir-trees whose branches were laden with snow-wreaths. LANGUR, one of the two Hindu names (the other being hanuman) of the sacred Indian monkey scientifically known as Semnopithecus entellus, and hence sometimes called the entellus monkey. In a zoological sense the term is extended to embrace all the monkeys of the Asiatic genus Semnopithecus, which includes a large number of species, ranging from Ceylon, India and Kashmir to southern China and the Malay countries as far east as Borneo and Sumatra. A fairly familiar form is the simpei (Semnopithecus melalophus).

Basically it is a plastic that is both piezoelectric and pyroelectric. That means that it will build up electric fields when you squeeze/bend it as well as when you heat it. In this interesting presentation, they demonstrate how a small sheet of this plastic can be used in sensors to detect both movement and heat. The approach I would like to test is to simply cover the robot in a sheet of crumpled PVDF connected to an array of electrical probes, and then simply empirically collect data from the probes as the robot changes pose. The data can then be fed into a learning algorithm of some sort to detect abnormalities from the expected pose an the real pose. I also have another use for this material in the robot, but the ideas are too far off to put on this blog just yet. Maybe in a later post :-)

Giotto Template Program Standardized Disc Sensitivity Method involves measuring the diameter of zones of inhibition with a ruler, with callipers, or with an automated zone reader. However, zones of inhibition may also be measured in relation to zone templates. The Renaissance artist Giotto de BonDone was able to draw a perfect circle freehand. The less gifted may use this program to generate their zone templates. How to add templates to a controlled document: This document contains instructions for adding templates to controlled Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

Luciane R. Cavalli, PhD, assistant professor at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center explains this new work: “Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer where limited treatment is available. These tumors are the leading cause of breast cancer death in African-American women, which are usually diagnosed at an earlier age and in more advanced stages of the disease, when compared with White women. The main objective of our study was to identify molecular markers in these patients that may be associated with their observed disparity in incidence and mortality rates.“ “These initial findings indicate specific genetic alterations, involved in critical cancer related pathways and networks, in the triple negative breast cancer of African American women that might present an impact for their prognosis and treatment, ultimately contributing to an increase in their overall survival rate.” American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2015 in Philadelphia.

The CATO Institute on June 12, 2009 released a podcast about smoking that provides some good examples. The examples are especially relevant for OK State University, who recently banned smoking on campus. Importance of Incentives - Cigarette taxes are intended to curb smoking and thus positively influence the smokers' health. Yet, if each cigarette costs more, smokers have the incentives to smoke each cigarette more intensely. Scientific studies have shown that this greater intensity in smoking outweighs the reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked, such that the cigarette tax negatively impacts the smokers' health. Law of Unintended Consequences - Regulation of tobacco is often justified on the grounds that the health care of smokers is paid for in part by society at large. Thus, improving the health of smokers reduces the cost society pays in taxes and such. However, studies have shown that if all smokers ceased smoking, they would indeed live longer. More importantly, they live longer in their elderly years, drawing more money in social security, medicare, and medicaid. As a result, smokers who quit actually increase government costs by living longer, an unintended consequence.

Neck conditions that require surgical intervention typically have to do with the parathyroid or thyroid. The parathyroid is a pea-sized gland that makes parathyroid hormone (PTH) which helps your body keep the right balance of calcium and phosphorous. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that makes hormones and controls the rate of many activities in the body. The experts at Pediatric Surgeons of Phoenix are specially trained at the surgical intervention for parathyroid glands, thyroglossyl duct remnants, and thyroid disease in children and adolescents.

We have a three year old who only wants to eat noodles with butter on them. Help! Do you have any suggestions or good reading references for the stubborn toddler? Feeding toddlers is sometimes a challenge! Eating a limited number of foods is common in young children, and this too shall pass. Try not to make meal time a battleground, and ask your toddler to try one bite of other foods you have available at meals. Remember that you may have to offer a food 15 or more times before kids are willing to taste it. Add nutritious snacks, such as fruits and vegetables, proteins, such as hard boiled eggs, cheese or peanut butter between meals, and don’t let him/her fill up on milk or juice at mealtime. You can find tips on helping kids eat more fruits and vegetables here, and suggestions from other moms here. You can also find helpful information on feeding picky eaters at websites including Web MD®, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Nemours Foundation.

Salado ( /səleɪdoʊ/) is a village in Bell County, Texas, United States. Salado was first incorporated in 1867 for the sole purpose of building a bridge across the Salado Creek. It was not until 2000, that the citizens of Salado voted in favor of re-incorporation, when faced with a looming threat of annexation by their neighbor to the north [[Belton, Texas-Belton], before which point it was a census-designated place (CDP). The population of the CDP was 3,475 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Killeen–Temple–Fort Hood Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town is home to the Stagecoach Inn, the oldest continuously running hotel in Texas. George Washington Baines, a prominent Baptist clergyman in three states and the maternal great-grandfather of U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, lived in Salado in his last years. Baines' home is on the National Register of Historic Places.

TL;DR version: Skip to In a nutshell. This article assumes you understand the notiation for file system permissions, and have a basic grasp on the topic. If not, there is a nice starter article on the Ubuntu community wiki: By default, when you create a file in Ubuntu as a standard user (either in Nautilus or with touch), it gets the permission of 644. If you mark that file as executable, as expected, it gets the permission What may be surprising is that directories also have a default permission of 755. Even though it seems like directories aren’t the type of thing that would be “executed”, this flag is actually very important to Linux!

As they did this, they were practicing their skills in: - digital search strategies - creating digital sources (one scholar interviewed a local doctor for her project on diseases) - evaluating online sources (digital literacy) - citing sources (digital citizenship) We recorded a few moments from the day in the video below. We hope you enjoy this look into our classroom on Digital Learning Day! - Mrs. Rankin, RES Enrichment Teacher and Mrs. Redford, RES Librarian Information on Digital Learning Day activities in Vermont and across the country can be found on the DLD Day 2014 Event Map.

Cayman Brac Island History Christopher Columbus sighted Cayman Brac in 1503 when his ship was blown off course during a trip between Hispaniola and Panama. During the heyday of piracy, pirates would use Cayman Brac as a haven and a place to replenish their supplies as there are a number of fresh water wells on the island and had many sources of food included in the local flora and fauna. The Bluff” is a large central limestone outcrop that rises steadily along the length of the island up to 140 feet above sea level at the eastern end. The island is named after this prominent feature, as “brac” is a Gaelic name for a bluff. Today, Cayman Brac has a population of about 1,600 friendly “brackers” who welcome guests from all over the world.

What is thimerosal? Thimerosal is an ethyl mercury-based preservative used in vials that contain more than one dose of a vaccine (multi-dose vials) to prevent germs, bacteria and/or fungi from contaminating the vaccine. Preservatives are used to protect vaccines packaged in multi-dose vials. Each time a vaccine dose is drawn from a multi-dose vial, bacteria or fungi can enter the vial. Receiving a vaccine contaminated with bacteria or fungi can be dangerous. Preservatives are needed to prevent contamination of multi-dose vials each time individual doses are drawn. Flu vaccines in multi-dose vials contain thimerosal to safeguard against contamination of the vial. Most single-dose vials and pre-filled syringes of flu shot and the nasal spray flu vaccine do not contain a preservative because they are intended to be only used once.

Doubles refers to the 2 versus 2 part of a tournament, also referred to as "teams". Doubles requires a different strategy, namely teamwork, to defeat opponents. Although there are as many ways to play as there are players, several things remain constant: those who work together to attack and destroy their enemies stand a greater chance of winning, while those who separate to take on their opponents alone are easier to defeat as individuals by attacking them two-on-one. Strength in singles playing style does not necessarily translate into strength in doubles; the strongest team is the winner, not the pair of strongest individuals. Doubles tournament rules In general, rules for singles tournaments also apply to doubles except where otherwise noted. See tournament legal for all tournament rules.

Issue Date: February 10, 2014 Faster And Cleaner Peptide Synthesis Solid-phase peptide synthesis is an indispensable method for constructing natural and modified peptide sequences. But the multistep process needed is time-consuming and generates a significant amount of chemical waste relative to the small amount of peptide generated. For example, a 100-mg synthesis of a peptide 20 amino acids long can take 24 hours to complete and produce several liters of waste. Jonathan M.

Officially approved type of art in the former USSR and other communist countries. The creation of artworks came under the communist doctrine that all material goods, and the means of producing them, were the collective property of the community. Art was to be produced solely for the education and inspiration of the people. Optimistic images of work and the heroic worker celebrated the virtues of communism and patriotism, and glorified the state. In Soviet Russia, as in other totalitarian countries (run by one party), the government controlled all artistic organizations. … - Interior designers have been to school, furthered their education, and really know how to make a room look unique. - Poems on LOST LOVE. - Socialist Realism E-pasta adrese, uz kuru nosūtīt darba saiti: Saite uz darbu:

Date of this Version Most research to assess amphibian declines has focused on local-scale projects on one or a few species. The Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) is a national program in the United States mandated by congressional directive and implemented by the U.S. Department of the Interior (specifically the U.S. Geological Survey, USGS). Program goals are to monitor changes in populations of amphibians across U.S. Department of the Interior lands and to address research questions related to amphibian declines using a hierarchical framework of base-, mid- and apex-level monitoring sites. ARMI is currently monitoring 83 amphibian species (29% of species in the U.S.) at mid- and apex-level areas. We chart the progress of this 5-year-old program and provide an example of mid-level monitoring from 1 of the 7 ARMI regions.

Nathan Bergey has built and programmed a lamp that shines whenever the International Space Station is in the vicinity. It's definitely a groovy idea, and what's even cooler is that the inventor's put directions and the code up for grabs. The International Space Station (ISS) is a marvel of current technology and humanity. Sadly, we often forget it's there. This light sits on a desk and lights up when the space station passes overhead. It stays lit as long as the station is more than 10 degrees above the horizon. Being reminded that there are astronauts doing science over our heads every day helps reconnect us with our space program.

Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims. The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in the hair of people. "You are what you eat and drink, and that is recorded in your hair," said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah and lead author of the study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. While U.S. diet is relatively homogenous, water supplies vary. The differences are a result of weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move. Most of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes. The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific Ocean deliver heavier water to California than to Utah. Similar patterns exist throughout the United States. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months, Cerling said. © 2017. All Rights Reserved. Contact Us

For caregivers serving those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, the biggest challenge is often coping with other behaviors common in dementia. Antipsychotic drugs to treat these symptoms has become increasingly common with approximately 1 in 3 dementia patients in nursing homes being prescribed them. Outside of nursing homes, 1 in 7 dementia patients are prescribed these drugs – all despite a warning from the Food and Drug Administration saying that antipsychotics increase the risk of death for people with dementia. According to a recent study published in the British Medical Journal, antipsychotics are much less effective than non-drug treatments in controlling the symptoms of dementia. Researchers say the treatments that show the best results were ones that trained caregivers on how to communicate calmly and clearly, and those that introduced hobbies and other activities to the patient. Researchers believe caregiver interventions work because they train caregivers to look for the triggers of the symptoms. When a caregiver sees the triggers of the symptoms, they train patients on how to manage them. Healthcare providers typically use antipsychotics because they have not been trained to use non-drug approaches and when they do know how to use them, they are rarely reimbursed for doing so by Medicare or private insurance.

Measuring up to 7 ft (2.1 meters) from wing-tip to wing-tip, Golden Rays are also more prosaically known as Cow Nose Rays. They have long, pointed pectoral fins that separate into two lobes in front of their high-domed heads and give them a cow-like appearance. Despite having poisonous stingers, they are known to be shy and non-threatening when in large schools. The population in the Gulf of Mexico migrates, in schools of as many as 10,000, clockwise from western Florida to the Yucatan.

At Centennial we believe that learning is a life-long process. We must provide students with the skills to continue to learn in a meaningful manner. In order to do this, our goals are to: • strive to encourage a life-long habit of reading for both the acquisition of knowledge and for pleasure. • endeavour to provide assistance in order to promote and encourage information literacy and the development of strong research skills. In this age of information overload it is impossible to retain everything we learn so we must know how to quickly access information. There are approximately 15,000 books in the Centennial Secondary School Library collection as well as numerous online databases.

Sunday, April 10, 2016 Flowers, Folds, and Floods on the Way to Yosemite Despite the nonstop rain, we accomplished most of our goals, and saw most of the features of Yosemite and the Merced River Canyon (Half Dome was a no-show, though). We managed to thread our way through the day, catching some stops when the rain had declined to a drizzle, or having a sheltered place to discuss the geological features of particular stops. The flow yesterday may have been a record for the date (although I'm not quite clear how to interpret the graph on that count). The river was not actually officially flooding (it would have to reach 6,600 cfs), but flows yesterday were consistent with the peak runoffs that normally occur in late May and early June. The record low flow for the date was just set last year, at 244 cfs. The greatest recorded flood ever occurred during the El Nino year of 1997 when the river reached 24,600 cubic feet per second.

Daphnomancy is a form of Pyromancy where the future is predicted by burning bay laurel leaves. A loud crackling from the fire is a positive omen, whereas silence is a negative one The early Romans and Greeks, who utilized the divinatory methods of daphnomancy and phyllorhodomancy, respectively, also practiced herbal divination. The art and practice of daphnomancy is believed to have been devised by the augurs of pre-Christian Rome and connected to a sacred grove of laurel trees planted there by various Roman emperors. In the year 68 A.D., the entire grove mysteriously withered and died, as if to portend the death of the Emperor Nero and the demise of the long line of Caesars, which occurred shortly after during that same year. Daphnomancy takes its name from the fabled Greek nymph Daphne, whom the gods changed into a laurel tree.

Definition: A genus of aerobic to facultatively anaerobic bacteria (family Enterobacteriaceae) containing gram-negative rods that are either motile or nonmotile; motile cells are peritrichous. These organisms do not liquefy gelatin or produce indole and vary in their production of hydrogen sulfide; they use citrate as a sole source of carbon; their metabolism is fermentative, producing acid and usually gas from glucose, but they do not attack lactose; most are aerogenic, but Salmonella typhi never produces gas; they are pathogenic for humans and other animals. The type species is Salmonella choleraesuis. [Daniel E. Salmon, U.S. pathologist, 1850–1914] Search Stedman's Medical Dictionary Examples: glitazone, GI cocktail, etc.

Give Me LibertyBook - 2006 For thirteen-year-old Nathaniel, an indentured servant in colonial Virginia, life is hard. Though things improve with the help of a kind master named Basil-who shares music, books, and philosophies on equality-around him the climate is heating up. It's 1775 and colonists are enraged by England's taxation. Patrick Henry's words "give me liberty, or give me death" become the sounding call and the American Revolution is about to errupt. Nathaniel and Basil must make a choice about joining the fight and face a larger conundrum about the true meaning of liberty. L. M. Elliott crafts a stirring narrative for middle grade readers-conveying the hopes and dilemmas of this crucial era in American history.

Why did Mark quote Isaiah 40 in Mark 1:1-8? Isaiah gave comfort to Jews in Babylonian exile. John prepared for the ministry of Jesus Christ. The message to Jewish captives was a highway in the wilderness leading straight home to Jerusalem. They had gone into exile — punishment for national sins. God would make amends for their suffering. Like sheep lost in the wilderness, their shepherd would bring them back home. Our world is currently in exile from God, held captive in spiritual Babylon to sin and corruption. Our home is heavenly Jerusalem and the way home is Jesus Christ. Isaiah pictures a flattening whereby the low will be elevated and the exalted will be brought low. It can picture a leveling, difficult terrain made easy to journey. Jesus is the way. His burden is light (Matthew 11:30).

Methamphetamine Use Can Lead To Rapid Dental Destruction –“Even a year after quitting meth, the user’s saliva remains acidic” Lola Giusti, DDS, an associate professor at the University of the Pacific’s Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, discussed the health consequences of methamphetamine abuse, stating that “the tooth decay meth unleashes is nearly impossible to reverse.” Dr. Giusti pointed to JADA’s December cover story examining dental disease in methamphetamine users. “Researchers began studying the mechanisms behind this rapid dental destruction and found that even a year after quitting meth, the user’s saliva remains acidic,” Dr. Giusti said, adding that “when paired with poor oral hygiene, this biochemical phenomenon exerts a permanent effect on teeth and health.” Read more at San Francisco Chronicle (1/14, Subscription Publication) The ADA provides additional information on “Meth Mouth” at MouthHealthy.org.

The pion plays an outstanding role in nuclear physics as a generator of the nuclear force and as an important part of the nuclear many-body problem. At the same time, pion beams are used as probes to explore the nucleus and its interactions. As pion physics has matured over the years, a rich and diverse variety of phenomena has been uncovered. The aim of this book is to examine the underlying physical picture behind these phenomena in a systematic and coherent way. The authors emphasize the interplay between physical concepts and experimental facts more than the formal tools, which are presented in a series of appendices. The book is directed towards advanced students as well as research workers.

Long-haul flights roughly triple your risk of developing deep-vein thrombosis, according to a study. In the first attempt to assess the absolute risks of air travel, a Dutch team surveyed 8,755 employees of international companies, with an average age of 40, to collect data about their patterns of travel and incidence of deep vein thrombosis.

The Massasauga is from the order Squamata. Species from this order are amphisbaenians, lizards or snakes. There are over 6,000 living species belonging to the squamata order - it is the largest order of all reptiles. The Massasauga was first reported by Rafinesque, 1818. It is a scaled reptile, and it sheds its skin. In general, species from the squamata order are incredibly diverse. Small lizards from 1.2 cm long, to snakes reaching 10 metres in length!. The Massasauga is found in (but not necessarily limited to) Canada. It is both a carnivore and an omnivore. In general, species from the squamata order are spread throughout the world. They do not inhabit antarctica, and there are some few remote islands where this order has not inhabited. The Massasauga is just one member of over 6000 from this order.

We’ve all gotten bored of certain toys and left them on the shelf for months on end. But what do you do when this prolonged period kills the batteries? Well if you’re [Andrew] you take apart the battery pack and bring it back to life! [Andrew] picked up one of those Panasonic Toughbooks awhile back and although it’s hardly a top of the line laptop specs-wise, it does have some pretty cool features: it’s shock-proof, splash-proof, and extreme-temperature-proof. It even had a touch screen before touchscreens were cool. Despite its durability, however, the laptop was left to sit for a bit too long, and the battery pack no longer accepted a charge. [Andrew] quickly disassembled the battery pack and began measuring the cells with his trusty multimeter, assuming just one cell had gone bad. Curiously though, no cells reported 0V. What he did find was that each cell and sub-pack reported 2.95V, which is 0.05V below the “safe operating limits” of typical lithium ion cells. Continue reading “Reviving a Stubborn Laptop Battery”

Gingko is a genus of highly unusual non-flowering plants. The scientific name is also used as the English name. The genus first appeared in the Permian, 250 million years ago, possibly derived from “seed ferns” of the order “Peltaspermales.” The Gingko is a living fossil. A single tree can live as long as 1,000 years and grow to 120 feet. The Gingkos are tough and hardy trees – they can live in most climates, therefore, they have been cultivated all over the world. For thousands of years, leaves from the Gingko Biloba have been used in Chinese medicine. In the U.S., many people take Gingko supplements in the belief that it will improve memory and sharpen thinking because Gingko improves blood flow to the brain. This tree represents the plant kingdom to me, and I paint the leaves as a way to show respect and tribute to its strength and endurance. Plants can survive without humans, but humans cannot survive without plants. Our existence depends on these species.

Biochemistry of Treatment (pg 5) Ideally treatment should be customized based on patient testing. Patients can be very deficient in some substances and adequate in others. Progress is best by testing, not guessing. See test guidelines below. Some patients are very inflamed and the sequence discussed here can help them with better tolerance. Very sick patients are often very inflamed and dosing often has to be more gentle and gradual: some is better than none. NEVER PUSH CONCENTRATIONS OR BRANDS that cause discomfort: the PATIENTíS BODY IS WISER THAN ANY DOCTOR.

The Norman Dynasty in England was founded when William the Conqueror was crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day, 1066, two months after the Battle of Hastings . William consolidated his position by giving the lands of the English nobles who opposed him to his followers, establishing a Norman aristocracy in England. His son, William II , ruled after him. William II was followed by a younger brother, Henry II The last king of the dynasty was Stephen. He claimed the right as the son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela. His right to the crown was challenged by Matilda, daughter of Henry I, on whose behalf Henry had obtained a pledge of support by the barons before his death in 1135. In 1153, Stephen was forced to accept Matilda's son Henry as his succesor. When he died in 1154, Henry ascended the throne as Henry II, establishing the Plantagenet Dynasty.

Writing Assignment Description: This lab report explores stoichiometry (a mathematical tool chemists use to analyze chemical reactions). Prior to this lab students needed to understand balancing chemical equations, mole ratios, gram to mole conversions, theoretical yield analysis. The high-quality writing here is the result of a school--wide commitment to increasing students’ complexity in writing through the grades. The scientific writing specifically has clear concise language as the goal and has undergone a critique and revision process with peers and teacher resulting in multiple drafts. How This Writing Can Be Useful: - A beautiful model of scientific analysis. - Great example of the practices of the scientist (data analysis, mathematical thinking, explaining scientific process, planning and carrying out an investigation). - Offers a developmentally appropriate model of scientific writing.

Spatial orientation is our sense of movement through the world and orientation relative to the constant force of gravity. Many of our daily activities, including walking, driving, or riding a bike, depend critically on spatial orientation estimates that are continuously and effortlessly maintained by dedicated sensory and cognitive processes that most of us take for granted. The broad aim of research in the lab is to achieve a better understanding of these processes. Human detection and discrimination of spatial orientation stimuli is measured using a virtual reality motion simulator consisting of a hexapod motion platform and visual and auditory displays. Natural statistical properties of visual and vestibular stimulation in real world environments are measured using a head-mounted device that records synchronized information about head motion, eye movements, and visual stimulation during everyday activities such as walking or riding a bike. Perceptual and motor measurements are evaluated in light of computational models and existing physioloigcal data (e.g. single-unit, fMRI, EEG).

No one eats calories; calories are just a measurement (as is an inch) and have no substance. A calorie is a unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree at one atmosphere pressure (does this sound like a human body?). The calorie theory is based on the heat engine analogy also known as thermodynamics by engineers. The human body is not a heat engine, as they would like you to believe. The human body is more like a complex chemical factory than it is a heat engine. Food is converted in to complex substances and structures and not as a machine designed for heat production, which the measurement of a calorie is.

Broad, fuzzy leaves are beginning to turn brown on this charming shrub of the understory. In a month or so, the branches will be bare skeletons, ready for the winter. Beaked hazelnut (Corylus cornuta) is found across the country–except for the south. Around here you usually see it in moist forest understories, shaded canyons or streamsides. It has slim, sometimes drooping branches decked with light green, jagged-edged leaves. The flowers are monoecious, meaning that each flower is either male or female–but both sexes appear on a single plant. The female flowers look like tassels of small crimson threads; the male flowers are drooping pale catkins. But often this plant reproduces clonally, growing in dense clusters that are genetically identical. Grouse, deer, rabbits, voles, and other critters use these shrubs for food and shelter. The tasty nuts have been compared to filberts, and commercial hazelnuts, and can be eaten raw or cooked. Native Americans wove the slim and flexible branches into baskets and baby carriers. It’s the only hazelnut found in California.

Volcanic ash is a potentially highly disruptive form of contamination capable of causing insulator flashover across station and line insulators. Ash-induced insulator flashover is a disruptive electrical discharge over the surface of solid insulation caused by the high conductivity of volcanic ash when it becomes wet (e.g. from light rain conditions such as dew, fog, light rain, etc.). The dielectric strength of ceramic insulators under critical ash contamination (complete surface coverage) is ~10 kV/unit or 30 kV per metre of creepage distance. It is estimated that 1 mm (1/32 in) thickness coverage of ≥40% of insulator creepage distance in wet ash is critical, and will lead to flashover problems. The dielectric strength of non-ceramic (e.g. composite polymer, silicone rubber, etc.) insulators is higher than ceramic equivalents under volcanic ash contamination (recent literature suggests 35 kV per metre of creepage distance). Thus, non-ceramic insulators are the optimal choice of insulation in ashy environments.

In India, anyone who is distantly related to us automatically becomes our cousin. For the native speaker of English, a cousin is someone who has the same grandparents as you. Your first cousin, for example, is your aunt's or uncle's child; the two of you are from the same generation. The word ‘removed' is normally used with cousins to suggest that the two individuals are from different generations. For example, when you say that someone is your ‘cousin, once removed', you mean that there is a generation separating the two of you. Your mother's/father's first cousin can be referred to as your ‘cousin, once removed'. Similarly, your grandparent's cousin will be your ‘cousin, twice removed': there is a difference of two generations between the two of you. This two generation difference equals ‘twice removed' TAKEN FROM:- THE HINDU Education Plus Kerala

New Baby Wrap Invention Makes Babies Safer in Cars 7th April 2016 Entrepreneur Christine Carolan has invented the Cosynest, a baby wrap which allows babies to be better secured into their car seat. Associate Professor Ciaran Simms from the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering carried out high-speed crash testing which has shown that the product came out as the safest compared with a conventional snow suit-style restraint. In the case of the traditional snow suit, one of child restraints partly came off during the test which greatly increases the risk of ejection and injury. Both restraints remained in place with the Cosynest as the design ensures they fit closer to the body as there is less fabric in between. Associate Professor Ciaran Simms said that retaining the child in its car seat is crucial to its safety. "The Cosynest showed a better capacity to retain the child in the seat than a conventional snow suit". Listen here to Christine Carolan and Ciaran Simms on Today FM.

Deafblindness is a low incidence disability with increasing prevalence being identified. Common issues can be that accessibility features and assistance for someone with a single sensory impairment are often not suitable for those with severe dual sensory loss. This can mean that deafblind people can become isolated from the community in which they live. Deafblind Scotland’s aim is to enable deafblind people to live as rightful members of their own communities. Deafblind Scotland offers a variety of services such as communication and linguistic access advice, advice navigating self-directed support, information and formatting services, welfare rights support, accredited training and a guide/communicator service.

When Dr. Jack Wennberg was chosen to examine medical care in the state of Vermont, he made a surprising discovery. Medical practice across the state varied enormously -- in Middlebury, for instance, only 7 percent of children had their tonsils removed, whereas in Morrisville, 70 percent did. But the Vermonters who lived in towns with more aggressive care weren’t any healthier. They were just getting more health care. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Wennberg has done versions of his Vermont study across the entire country, and always with the same result. His story forms the backbone of the book “Overtreated,” by Shannon Brownlee. The U.S. spends far more money on medical care than other countries, but often gets worse results. One reason is the overuse of unnecessary medical procedures. Studies have shown that many treatments, including spinal fusion, routine episiotomies and neonatal intensive care, are overdone. Between one fifth and one third of U.S. health care dollars is spent on care that does nothing to improve anyone’s health.

Portraits of Multiracial Families Of Many Colors includes photographs and interviews with 20 families (children, teens, and adults) who have bridged the racial divide through interracial relationships and/or adoption. In a world where race is considered by many to be a formidable barrier between people, the families in this traveling exhibit have discovered richness and value in diversity. This exhibit of multiracial families has a great deal to teach about racial identity and racism. Of Many Colors is also available in a beautiful companion book (featuring over 40 families) published by the University of Massachusetts Press. In 2015, educators in Andover, MA displayed Of Many Colors in every elementary school in the district at the beginning of the school year. Read about this great idea for our exhibit here.

You must write a film analysis of 1500 words. You should select two scenes from different films of no more than five minutes in length, and write roughly 750 words on each scene. The film must be one we have studied on the course, and the scenes in question must be agreed with your tutor first. You should discuss the theory of the language of film that you have studied, and how the director has used this to convey meaning. You should avoid lengthy description, and concentrate on in depth and pertinent analysis. Remember, film is constructed and all elements of mise en scene, cinematography, and editing have been used for specific purpose with the audience in mind. It is important to identify the techniques used and then discuss their intended affect and how this is achieved.

Neuroscientists also have shown that the brain is hardwired for music, innovation and creativity, all other human activities follow. No human culture known to historians or anthropologists has ever existed without music and dance. The arts are a necessity for insight: the arts make us human.The energy that you acquire from art and music turns inspiration into invention. This allows an inventor to dream up something never envisioned before and creates new industries and good-paying jobs.I think he's right. Tuesday, March 22, 2011 STEM Education Should Be STEAM Education Mickey Hart has written a nice little Huffington Post column on the importance of the arts in education. He argues that the science, technology, engineering and math approach, known as "STEM," won't work as well without the arts.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A small object of mass 3.80 g and charge -18uC (-18 x 10^-6 or microcoulombs) "floats" in a uniform electric field. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field? 2. Relevant equations F = ma F = Eq 3. The attempt at a solution I already have the magnitude down. It's 2070 N/C Why does the electric field point down though? I don't fully understand the direction of electric fields with positive or negative charges in them. can someone explain this to me?

In 1940, the German Air Force or Luftwaffe was the largest and most formidable air force in Europe. The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces and largest and most sustained bombing campaign attempted up until that date. At the start of the battle, the Luftwaffe had 2,500 aircraft that were serviceable and in any normal day, the Luftwaffe could put up over 1,600 planes, way beyond the numbers that Fighter Command could muster for the defence of England. This collection of photographs, taken by various official German photographers during 1940 and the aerial campaigns over France and Britain, shows the German side of things; it provides a good visual review of the Luftwaffe fighter and bomber forces which RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes opposed during the battle.

I use an idea for encouraging responsibility for my third graders. I made some money and used them as responsi-bills. They are rewarded with bills each week. When they do not follow through with their responsibility they I take away a bill. They get to go to our classroom store each Friday and buy something if they have any money. The store is made up of items I have purchased and what parents send in. If you don't like to idea of taking money away then you can just award them a bill each time they do something good. Keep in mind that this way, it is time consuming. It really does help with their responsibility. Submitted by: Cheryl Bramlett

A blog that centers around the issues impacting our environments today, both biological and urban. Follow Us by Email Thursday, February 23, 2012 Healthy food vs. unhealthy food This is Healthy food vs. unhealthy food. As you can see, the unhealthy food is crossed out. Why? Well, because every part of the unhealthy meal is bad for you. For instance, the bread contains carbohydrates, but it's more than you should take in and wheat bread is a better substitute. The meat on the sandwich is fed corn, which is most of our diet today. That over consumption of corn is terrible for us and can cause obesity. The fries, have grease and salt, which is more salt then we should normally take in. The grease contains bad fats and it can get you sick. The drink, contains high fructose corn syrup which has corn in it as well, but it can cause high levels of obesity. The sugar can cause diabetes. The fruit though, it has complex sugars and it helps your body generate energy so you stay awake and fresh throughout the day. Which side do you choose?

After a world war and a plague that has destroyed two thirds of the population, America has become a dangerous place. Ordinary people are few; slavers and ex-military roam the countryside. Fifteen year old Stephen Quinn and his father make up another group, salvagers; people who move constantly, looking for whatever they can find to trade and trying to avoid capture. It’s the only life Stephen has ever known, and when their leader, his grandfather, dies, Stephen expects to simply continue salvaging with his dad. When the two come across a downed plane, Stephen sees another side of his father. His dad’s bravery in freeing a woman and child caught by slavers sets in motion a string of events that bring the two to a hidden community, and a group of people determined to build a new world but facing untold challenges daily to do so. Find The Eleventh Plague in New Arrivals. A young teacher comments on the world around her. Opening books to open minds. A community of readers

Cotton is the primary crop for producing textiles around the world. As such, it was targeted early on by biotech companies and there are now 56 events (types) of genetically modified cotton, the second most behind corn (maize)1. Though cotton fiber is not common in consumer packaged goods, cottonseed oil is becoming more so as prices drop. |Herbicide Tolerant||Insect resistant||Disease resistant| - “GM Approval Database: Cotton.” GM Approval Database.
