SHACKLETON NEWS ARCHIVE JOINS THE 'JAMES CAIRD' AND 'ENDURANCE' CRATERS ON MARS Sir Ernest Shackleton continues to conquer space. The moon now boasts a 'Shackleton' crater. Appropriately, the crater, which is 12 miles or 20 km in diametyer, is positioned at the South Pole of the Moon. This is particularly gratifying, as only recently the Society's President, The Hon. Alexandra Shackleton, was delighted to announce that the 2005 NASA Mars Exploration Rover mission, which named several craters explored by the rover Opportunity after ships of exploration, had named a small Martian crater the 'James Caird'.

In the last few weeks I've been using the iPad as a tool for student reflection and assessment. To assess students' understanding of Native Americans, I posted 5 photos of different aspects of Native American life to the Burley iDisk. Students viewed all the images and then selected one they wanted to talk about. Students copied one photo in iDisk and then opened a blank document in Pages. Students pasted their Native American photo and then shared what they knew about that aspect of Native American life. Once students documented their understanding, they emailed the Pages document to me. I reviewed students' thinking, identified misconceptions and opportunities for reteaching and assessed overall understanding. My students are becoming experts at using Pages. I've noticed that they have increased ability to create content for their peers and take their thinking public. This week each child published a piece of poetry using Pages and paired their text with an illustration using Whiteboard. I am excited to find additional opportunities for assessing student learning using the iPad!

CFOs oversee different financial aspects of the company, such as internal financing and debt equity. This person ensures a proper ratio of liquidity and risk for the company. Dealing with capital structure, which is the long-term and short-term debt of a company, is a prime duty of a CFO. The CFO must analyze financial trends and seize the right opportunities to expand the resources of an organization. Predicting the future, especially the long-term financial status of a company, is a vital aspect of the job. This person also keeps records of past dealings, and he reports directly to the CEO and stockholders. The CFO may also serve on the board of directors. He is also subject to controllership duties, which are tasks that call for presenting accurate information that nearly every member of the organization relies on for success. A CFO is a company operative who specializes in business intelligence, but part of his role may call for assisting in vital operations. Helping the COO, or chief operating officer, is another part of a CFO's job description. He usually helps the COO with such projects as budgeting, cost benefit analysis and finding new sources of revenue.Learn more about Career Aspirations

Behaviour that has been passed from one generation to another by non-genetic means. Evolution occurs primarily as a result of natural selection, and genetic inheritance of acquired characteristics is not possible. However, information can be passed from parent to offspring through the processes of imprinting and imitation. Sensitive periods of learning occur in the early life of many animals, and during such periods they often learn from their parents. Some songbirds remember the parental song, provided they hear it during the sensitive period (about ten to fifty days old), and are able to sing it in later life. The tendency to copy the parental song leads to regional variation. Populations separated by only a few miles may have different dialects. Animal dialects represent an elementary form of tradition. Other forms of traditional behaviour include migration routes and feeding habits. Imitation provides another mechanism for cultural exchange in animals. Animals may copy each other as a result of simple social facilitation, learning by observation, or true imitation. Whether the last of these indicates intelligent behaviour is a matter of controversy. Subjects: Zoology and Animal Sciences.

Hydronic heating is most recognizable in older homes, which often used radiators filled with heated water to warm each room. Hydronics systems are still used to heat homes today, however in modern applications, they use small tubes fitted underneath the floor that transfer heat from hot water to the air in the room. In-floor Hydronics are a great choice for tile and other floor surfaces that can feel cold underfoot. Since they warm from the floor up, they can give any room a cozy feeling. Hydronics systems typically use either electricity or gas to heat the water, and they employ a boiler to heat the water, as well as a pump to distribute it. Since in-floor systems keep the warm air closer to the ground, where it is most needed, they can be a very energy efficient option.

What is found in the deserts of the American Southwest is truly Amazing. Scattered along the canyon walls of most southwestern states are ancient petroglyphs. Petroglyphs are a combination of writing, symbols, and pictures used to communicate messages by the ancient inhabitants of the deserts. One such occurrence is at a historic site called Newspaper Rock. Not only did the Anasazi people leave their writings, but so did settlers of the American West who were pioneer homesteaders or those just passing through. If you just look around you, there is a story waiting to be told in stone on any canyon wall in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and California.

Most people think of plant life as that green stuff in the background of everything that you mostly ignore as you go about your daily life. But plants are a vital part of our world that we shouldn't take for granted, for we couldn't live without them. In botany, all plants belong to Kingdom Plantae, which includes one-celled green algae called chlorophytes, mosses and worts, ferns, pine trees, and garden flowers. Phytoplankton besides green algae are also often thought of as plants because they photosynthesize, though science puts most of them in other kingdoms. Plant life is also an integral part of agriculture (plants as food crops), landscaping (plants as beauty), and outdoor recreation (plants as obstacle courses and places to hide food from bears). This collection of articles is about all the things we know about plants in botany and ecology, and all the things we do with plant life, including gardening tips, pollution and conservation issues, and the latest in farm technology.

W.W. Denslow (1856-1919) best known for: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Denslow’s Picture Books, and Billy Bounce Denslow’s most famous work by far is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum. Denslow was the first illustrator to portray the book’s many iconic characters, including Dorothy Gale, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion, Wizard of Oz, Wicked Witch of the East, Glinda, Winged Monkeys, etc. Denslow co-owned the copyright to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and continued to illustrated the characters in a newspaper comic strip. He created another newspaper strip entitled Billy Bounce, starring a mischievous, lighter-than-air imp living in a fantasy world. Denslow was also known for his lengthy series of picture books that took well-known fairy tales and recast them in a new light. Some of these books have been compiled and reprinted in various editions over the last few years.

Condenser Boilers Types what is a condensing boiler? This is not really a specific brand or product, the condensing aspect is really referring to the processes the boiler uses to increase its efficiency. By minimising heat loss through a series of design features, they use the latent heat of water vapour produced from burning natural gas to increase efficiency. In other words, a condenser boiler reduces the amount of fuel being used by “recycling” the waste produced during the heating process. With a regular non-condenser the fuel (normally natural gas), when burned, gets passed through a heat exchanger in which the heat is transferred to the water supply thereby increasing its temperature. During this process water vapour is produced and non-condensing designs eject this water vapour and waste the potential. This is the reverse for a modern condensing model where these gasses are allowed to rise through a primary heat exchanger to a secondary unit which extracts more heat from the water vapour and helps increase the efficiency of the device from around 70% for an older boiler up to around 90 or 95% for new models.

In Central and Eastern Europe, as World War Two approached, there were many people trying to stay in touch with family members in foreign countries - or to find ways of getting to those countries themselves. Jews were the most obvious and largest group writing abroad or being written to. If you had a chance to write, then you wrote, and if people wrote to you - that was great news in itself! Here is a cover sent from what I read as WIEN 8, 29 8 39 - less than a week before the German invasion of Poland - franked to 25 Pf. with Hindenburg rather than Hitler adhesives. It's sent to two people with what I take to be a Jewish name [ ... but can someone explain why the name is written as "Bibersteni" and not "Biberstein" ?] living in Jerusalem, then in British Mandate Palestine. The letter arrived - this is shown by the standard British censor tape. Interestingly, there is no sign of Censorship in Vienna. Nor is there any indication of the route taken by this letter (Click on Image to Magnify):

Haiyan was probably the strongest recorded typhoon to ever make landfall when it crashed through the Philippines on November 8th—and it looks just as intimidating from 22,000 miles away. This image, captured by the Japan Meteorological Agency and EUMETSAT, shows the storm as it raged. You can see the lights of the Philippines peep out at the bottom of the typhoon; South-East Asia and India are to the West, and Australia to the south. You can see the sun is setting over the Arabian Sea at the left-most of the image. The storm has ravaged the Philippines, forcing millions to take shelter and claiming as many as 10,000 lives. The World Food Programme estimates that 2.5 million people will need assistance. You can help with that. [New Scientist] Image by Japan Meteorological Agency and EUMETSAT

As incidents over the past several years have demonstrated, developing a robust and reliable system for communicating during a disaster continues to be a challenging task. Land-lines tend to be one of the first victims of natural and man-made disasters, with cell phone networks generally close behind. During times of disaster, many public health organizations are turning to amateur radio (ham radio) to maintain communications and ensure continuity of operations. There are more than 720,000 licensed amateur radio operators throughout the United States and we have heard from many public health departments and medical reserve corps units that rely on amateur radio for communications support. The formation of the Public Health Amateur Radio Club will allow for the exchange of information and resources, while providing a community where amateur radio enthusiasts within the public health profession can come together for camaraderie, learning and fellowship. If you are interested in amateur radio and public health – this group is for you!

Friendly Staff. Beautiful Smiles. Welcoming Environment. Your Life, Improved. Scaling & Root Planing Plaque and tartar that sit on teeth provide an environment which allows bacteria to thrive and multiply. This bacterium causes gums to become inflamed and bleed, especially when brushing or eating. These are signs of gingivitis and when left untreated, the condition can progress to periodontitis. In order to prevent the progression of periodontitis, scaling and root planing may be recommended. These procedures are used to clean the affected teeth and are the first line of therapy against periodontal disease. Scaling is the removal of dental plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and root planing is the process of removing infection while smoothing root surfaces. Many times this non-surgical, less invasive therapy is the only treatment necessary to stop the disease from progressing. However, if symptoms, such as bleeding and inflammation, continue surgical therapy may be needed. Once the progression of the disease is controlled, regular, frequent maintenance visits are necessary to be sure that the periodontal disease does not return and cause more destruction.

Fingerprints help us in gripping and handling objects in a variety of conditions. They work on the same principle as the tires of a car. While smooth surfaces are fine for gripping in a dry environment, they are useless in a wet one. So we have evolved a system of troughs and ridges, to help channel the water away from the fingertips, leaving a dry surface which allows a better grip. The unique pattern is merely a useful phenomenon that is used by the police to identify individuals. Fingerprints are the visible parts of rete ridges, where the epidermis of the skin dips down into the dermis, forming an interlocking structure, similar to interlaced fingers. These protect against shearing, or sideways stress, which would otherwise separate the two layers of skin and allow fluid to accumulate in the space, and form a blister. They appear on skin surfaces which are subject to constant shearing stress, such as fingers, palms, toes and heels. The unique patterns are simply due to the semi-random way in which the ridges and the structures in the dermis grow.

Caused by the breakdown of the central portion of the retina, macular degeneration is the leading cause of impaired reading and detail vision. Though peripheral or side vision is not affected, macular degeneration does cause distortion of central and color vision. Macular degeneration is often a natural result of aging when over time, retinal tissues deteriorate and thin. In about 10% of cases, aging of the retina is worsened by leaking of tiny blood vessels which nourish the retina. Blurry or distorted central vision is the most noticeable symptom of macular degeneration. With macular degeneration, a person may have difficult reading because of blurry words on the page, see distortion of lines or the center of a scene, or experience a dark or empty area in the central visual field. Laser treatment may slow progression of the disease, but there is no cure for macular degeneration. Early treatment is the only effective strategy to prevent further vision loss, and regular eye examinations are the only sure way to detect it.

The meaning of Hester's "A" is an inevitable part of any discussion about The Scarlet Letter. While the "A" initially symbolizes "adultery," later various people assign meanings such as "able" or "angel" to the letter, as the community's views of Hester change. For Governor Bellingham's servant, the letter signals Hester's upper-class ("aristocratic" or "authoritarian") status. Not only does the scarlet letter's meaning mutate throughout the novel, but the letter itself seems to multiply. What does the scarlet letter symbolize? Warning: Spoilers ahead! For example, Hester's daughter Pearl becomes a living embodiment of the letter, and a version of the letter has apparently been burned into Arthur Dimmesdale's flesh, whether by human or supernatural means. The letter also appears momentarily in the form of a meteor that flashes across the sky. The mutability of the letter characterizes all of the symbols in the novel: All are ambiguous; none can be distilled into a single meaning that is the same for all people and all time.

In this book two of the leading figures in argumentation theory present a view of argumentation as a means of resolving differences of opinion by testing the acceptability of the disputed positions. Their model of a 'critical discussion' serves as a theoretical tool for analysing, evaluating and producing argumentative discourse. They develop a method for the reconstruction of argumentative discourse that takes into account all aspects that are relevant to a critical assessment. They also propose a practical code of behaviour for discussants who want to resolve their differences in a reasonable way. This is a major contribution to the study of argumentation and will be of particular value to professionals and graduate students in speech communication, informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking, linguistics, and philosophy.

This webquest is designed to help students understand the four seasons and which season is important for maple sugar trees to produce sap that is boiled to make maple syrup. Students will also learn about what type of clothing is appropriate to wear in each season. Students will be able to use this knowledge to help dress for going outside throughout different times of the year. Students show understanding of human interaction with the environment over time by identifying ways in which they adapt to their physical environment (e.g., dressing for seasonal weather, outdoor play opportunities). K-ESS2-1 Earth's Systems Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.

Intersex people are born with sex characteristics (including genitals, gonads and chromosome patterns) that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies. Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of natural bodily variations. In some cases, intersex traits are visible at birth while in others, they are not apparent until puberty. Some chromosomal intersex variations may not be physically apparent at all. –Intersex Fact Sheet. United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner, 2016. PDF. Intersex is the lived experience of the socio-cultural consequences of being born with a body that does not fit the normative social constructions of male and female. -van der Have MJ, van Heesch MA (2016). Intersex, a post-medicine definition [PowerPoint Slides], presented at WPATH 2016, Amsterdam.

One of the most rare and mysterious leviathans of the deep has been caught off the coast of Kerry. The giant squid measuring nearly 6 metres long was netted by a fishing crew around 120 miles west of Dingle yesterday. Landings of giant squid in Ireland is extremely rare and only a handful of specimens have ever been recorded but they all seem to have occurred close to Dingle. The first ever recorded giant squid in Ireland was landed in Dingle and brought ashore in 1673. Another was also caught off Dingle in 1995. The squid, which is no longer alive, is currently at the Dingle Aquarium where marine science students from Sacred Heart University, Connecticut, who are studying a semester in Dingle will dissect it to learn more about this rare visitor.

CARACAS, Venezuela – American Indians from the north joined with Indigenous from around the world in Venezuela to unite in the struggle for Indigenous rights and opposition to colonial oppression. The delegations included members of the International Indian Treaty Council, American Indian Movement and tribal members from the Tohono O’odham and Mohawk Nations in the United States and Canada. Robert Free Galvan, Native activist from Seattle, said it was a rare opportunity to sit with Indigenous Venezuelan leaders as the country passed a new law recognizing Indigenous languages. During international gatherings, both formal and informal, the delegations from the north urged their Venezuelan allies to vote “Yes” to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

All about fruitarianism with a long-term fruitarian, Lena Top 20 Tags George Bernard Shaw The thought of two thousand people crunching celery at the same time horrified me. Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. The Human Genome Project has estimated that humans have 20,000 - 25,000 genes. Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but less than 1% of genes are slightly different between people. Poplar tree genome suggests more than 45,000 genes.

George Washington, inaugurated as the first president of the United States in April, returns to Washington at the end of his first presidential tour. For four weeks, Washington traveled by stagecoach through New England, visiting all the northern states that had ratified the U.S. Constitution. Washington, the great Revolutionary War hero and first leader of the new republic, was greeted by enthusiastic crowds wherever he went. Major William Jackson, who was Washington’s aide-de-camp during the Revolutionary War, accompanied the president, along with a private secretary and nine servants, including several slaves. The group traveled as far north as Kittery, Maine, which was still a part of Massachusetts at the time. Two years later, President Washington embarked on his first presidential visit to the southern states, making a 1,887-mile round-trip journey from his estate at Mount Vernon, Virginia.

Interesting reading - Some highlights: TV or video console in the bedroom looks like a bad idea...it results in more TV watching or video game playing and less reading. Heavy video game use does not mean less reading - in fact heavy game players seemed to read more and spend more time with their parents (see full report for details of this)- but there seem to be some mixed results. Children with the poorest grades, had the lowest times spent reading (no surprise), but also spent more time each day playing video games. Other interesting info one-quarter of these kids reported that they often multi-tasked while using media (listening to music, watching TV, etc.), and girls preferred music (auditory), whereas boys preferred video games (visual, hands-on).

How authentic assessment can be used effectively in a high school language arts classroom The research question addressed in this project was: What are the elements of a tenth grade language arts curriculum that uses authentic assessment as the final assessment for the unit? It documents one teacher's creation of a unit on war and its effects on humanity, using a final authentic assessment instead of more traditional written assessment options. This unit relies heavily upon research from Grant Wiggins and others who have studied the benefits of authentic assessment. Daily lesson plan structure used the Wiggins and McTighe model. The author documents authentic assessment--its definition, history, benefits and components--as well as the details of the curriculum unit. Lastly, the paper culminates in a reflection of the whole capstone process. Davis, Jennifer K., "How authentic assessment can be used effectively in a high school language arts classroom" (2008). School of Education Student Capstone Theses and Dissertations. 722. This document is currently not available here.

Class 12 Cpp Project Sudoku originally called Number Place, is a logic-based, combination number-placement puzzle. The objective of sudoku is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid (also called “boxes”, “blocks”, “regions”, or “subsquares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a unique solution. The project is a designed using an array. The language of this C++ game project is so simple that even a class 11 computer science student can understand the logic of this simple C++ project. C++ Project on sudoku is developed using Turbo C++ so make it very sure to copy the project in Turbo C++. Compile and then execute.

No helmet will ever eliminate the risk of sustaining a concussions during a football game. But tweaking the design may slow the speed of head movements after a hit and reduce the concussion risk. Scientists studied the biomechanics of more than 1 million head impacts of collegiate football players over six years to compare the concussion rates of two types of helmets currently on the market. The Riddell Revolution reduced the concussion risk by almost 54 percent compared with the Riddell VSR4, the team reports January 31 in the Journal of Neurosurgery. Riddell is the “the official helmet of the NFL," but that will no longer be true at the end of the 2013 pro football season. The results suggest that continuing to improve helmet design can reduce concussion risk.

Monday, May 2, 2016 We have been training teachers in our district on various iPad apps that they can use for teaching and learning. One of these apps is Thinglink, which is a very versatile app. I started saving YouTube videos about how to use this great app within context in the educational environment. One specific way to use Thinglink is for vocabulary development. I also found videos that show you how to us this app for professional development, differentiation and much more. Check out my YouTube playlist for more ideas. I will continue to add to this playlist as I find more videos. Sunday, February 21, 2016 Teachers, especially those of younger students, are often concerned about all the other "content" that shows when you use a You Tube video. This would include the "suggested videos" as well as the comments and ads. Let's admit it; those are not always appropriate for students to view. This video, created be Eric Curts, gives several different options for getting YouTube video content to students without the questionable content. I would also suggest checking out the free tool, EdPuzzle, as you can also add audio notes and questions to the videos.

Corrosion in concrete Corrosion of metal structures in concrete depends on the composition and character of the concrete. Important in this context is the porosity, that the concrete is free of cracks and that the metal is covered with an adequate layer of concrete. The required thickness of the concrete is dependent on the corrosivity of the ambient environment. Steel surfaces in contact with concrete (pH 12-13) have a protective passive film, which can be damaged if the concrete is carbonated via a reaction with carbon dioxide, if chlorides are introduced during casting or if the concrete is exposed to chlorides from deicing salts or seawater. We is working on several large research and development projects concerning corrosion and corrosion protection in reinforcement steel in concrete. One project deals with the corrosion properties of stainless steel in concrete with high moisture and chloride content. Another project concerns cathodic protection of concrete structures with thermally sprayed sacrificial zinc anodes. Yet another project has to do with corrosion and corrosion protection of cement-grouted rock bolts in underground installations. We also offer testing in special exposure stations.

A number of projects are under way around Japan's coast to develop offshore wind power. Some wind power platforms are located near the coastline in shallow waters and are bottom-mounted. This type of platform has a long been used in Europe. Floating wind turbines, on the other hand, can be positioned in deeper waters. Japan has developed an advanced form of this platform that it expects will create demand in the rest of the world. We report on this development from one of the largest offshore floating wind power facilities, which was completed late last year off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture.

This beautiful tree is so because it represents a movement. A movement driven by people who want to be free of a plague. In 1624, the bones of Santa Rosalia helped cure Palermo of an infectious disease. Well, over the last 24 years, the Falcone Tree has acted as a relic (and a memorial) for the anti-Mafia judges Falcone and Borsellino who were assassinated separately in 1992. Their memories have inspired strength in the people of Sicily, prompting them to rise up against the Mafia. This morning, Day 11 of Savoring Sicily, we discussed this significant issue of organized crime in southern Italy with Maurizio Scalia, my cousin who is an important prosecutor in the Region. Our guests now have a better understanding of the “plague” that wracks Palermo and Sicily, and what is being done about it. It’s not glamorous, but it is progress in the right direction.

Solar energy has always been an alternative power source in areas not connected to the electricity grid. And this is what Bernard, a Kenyan chicken breeder, living in a small village about sixty kilometers from Nairobi believes. With a solar panel installed on the roof of his house, it now illuminates his nights and feeds power to his radio and television. Bernard believes the answer to the electrical demand for millions of African homes can come from solar power, which still represents less than 5% of the energy sources of the African electricity networks. This number however continues to grow. Several African countries have embarked on increasingly ambitious projects for renewable energy. These solutions have mainly flourished in the eastern part of the continent, as in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, but are also expected to spread in West Africa, where the problems are comparable. Senegal has commissioned two photovoltaic power plants of 22 and 20 MW, the first of a series, with a stated target of 20% renewable energies in 2017 and 30% in 2018. More than a choice, these cheaper solutions are in any case a necessity in relation to an ever-increasing demand for electricity, in a rapidly changing continent.

Impacts on the water industry What is the risk? Information from UKCIP02 showed there may be significant changes in rainfall patterns under climate change. Anglian Water wanted to know how this could affect their systems, including their sewage and storm drain networks. What have we done? We analysed a range of forecasts to see how precipitation could be affected. We looked at best and worst case scenarios to see what the risks were in key areas for Anglian Water. What's the conclusion? Our research showed the Anglian region will be subject to more extreme levels of rainfall under climate change. The company is now using this data to adapt their sewerage network towards new design standards, increasing the capacity for dealing with heavy rainfall. Similar changes in rainfall can be expected across many other parts of the UK as our climate changes, and the latest data from UKCP09 will provide even greater advice across the whole utilities sector.

Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy isn’t about the tools or technologies rather it is about using these to facilitate learning. For instance outcomes on rubrics are measured by competence of use and most importantly the quality of the process or product.

Clark County, Arkansas Clark County, Arkansas was one of three counties in the future Arkansas Territory to be created by the legislature of Missouri Territory on Dec. 15, 1818. It was named for the territorial governor, William Clark, the former explorer of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It comprised, roughly, all of the present Clark, Hot Spring, Garland, Pike and Dallas counties. The Arkansas Territory wasn't created until July 4, 1819. Early county seats were at or near the homes of Jacob Barkman on the Caddo River and Adam Stroud near Hollywood, and the town of Biscoeville. In 1880 the seat was established at Greenville. It remained there for 12 years, but was moved to Arkadelphia in 1892. The pastor and theologian L. L. Clover, founder of the Louisiana Missionary Baptist Institute and Seminary in Minden, Louisiana, was born in Clark County in 1902. 1. Clark County, http://www.clarkcountyarkansas.com/ 2.

A giant gas cloud is set to spiral into the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's core in the next few months, and scientists should get a great view of the dramatic celestial action. NASA's Swift satellite will have a front-row seat for the enormous gas cloud collision, and astronomers can barely contain their excitement. "Everyone wants to see the event happening because it's so rare," Nathalie Degenaar, of the University of Michigan, said in a statement. [Milky Way's Black Hole Eats Gas Cloud (Images)] In 2003, scientists discovered what seemed to be a cloud of gas, termed G2, which should collide in March or thereabouts with the supermassive black hole that lurks at the heart of the Milky Way. The interaction will reveal much about this black hole, which is known as Sagittarius A* (or Sag A* for short). G2 should experience strong gravitational effects as it approaches Sag A*, but how dramatic those effects will be is still up in the air. "The biggest question probably is, Will there be fireworks or not?" UCLA astronomer Leo Meyer said. "We still don’t know."

Tuesday, October 10, 2006 Arachnids, Spiders and Their Allies (1948) This cool (and creepy) film from United World Science is the closest thing to our modern-day National Geographic and Discovery films we had in the forties. Features everything you could ever want to know in twelve minutes about spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions, and other nasty related species of arachnids! Of special note in the film is a mysterious comment regarding scorpions’ “cone-like pectines” as having an “uncertain function!”: A wonderful (and very creepy-crawly!) up-close and personal cinematography depicting what are arguably the scariest critters on the planet! The following clip is taken directly from the original 16mm print and has been edited to under half the film's original length.

Another summer read mentioned on Talk of the Nation is the classic Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum, originally published in 1899. About the book: In 1895, Slocum set sail in his sloop, the Spray, on a voyage that was to take 3 years & earn him a place in history as the first man to navigate the globe singlehandedly. Here is Slocum's own story, told with the salt resilience of an old sailor. From the Joshua Slocum Society International: Nova Scotia born, with family roots in New England, Captain Slocum commanded some of the finest tall ships that ever sailed the seas. On April 24, 1895, at the age of 51, he departed Boston in his tiny sloop Spray and sailed around the world single-handed, a passage of 46,000 miles, returning to Newport, Rhode Island on June 27, 1898. This historic achievement made him the patron saint of small-boat voyagers, navigators and adventurers all over the world. The Price of Salt (Carol) – Patricia Highsmith 7 months ago

Atoms are made up of subatomic particles. Subatomic particles are bits of what you would have if you would take an atom apart. However, you wouldn't have anything left. Just bits. Each atom contains: a nucleus (pictured yellow), protons (green), neutrons, and electrons. The neutrons don't have a charge. There are always an equal number of electrons and protons. Neutrons are mixed in the orbit with protons. Electrons are on an outside orbit (not pictured). This photographic periodic table is really cool. Each element is an atom. 2 or more atoms are molecules.A compound or substance has 2 or more different elements. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. So O2 (Oxygen) is a molecule only. H20 (water) is a compound. Molecules occur in 3 forms: Solid, liquid, and gas. Molecules have energy and are constantly in movement. Solids are tightly packed, liquids are more loose, and gasses move around very rapidly. We used this book for some lessons. Wishing you homeschool blessings,

February 17, 1821 Lola Montez, actress, dancer, courtesan, mistress and Countess of Landsfeld, was born Eliza Gilbert in Co. Sligo on February 17, 1821. After her birth, her family moved to India, but Lola was sent to several boarding schools in England. She eloped at the age of 16 with Lieutenant Thomas James, but the two separated after five years. It was at this time that Lola Montez adopted her stage name and began dancing. She found success in Europe, particularly Germany, as a courtesan, becoming the mistress of Ludwig I, the German King of Bavaria. His relationship with Montez was not embraced German people, especially when he gave her a title. It is believed that their relationship may have spurred on the 1848 revolutions in the German free states, forcing Montez to flee to America.

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 The girls are at it again with another hands on history craft project. Today they are making cylinder seals similar to the ones found through out ancient Mesopotamia. Carving the desired shapes and letters into the clay was not an easy task. It gave all us a greater appreciation of the ancient artists who crafted the cylinders we viewed on museum web sites. They are beautifully detailed. Earlier in the week we used a picture of a cylinder seal from the Royal Tomb of Ur for our weekly Charlotte Mason style picture study. The girls have really enjoyed these studies. The addition of art history and appreciation to our curriculum this year has been extremely beneficial. Thank you Tapestry of Grace! Above is the impression Sarah's seal made in play dough. Below is Hannah's. Nice job girls!

4th Grade created dots for International Dot Day by cutting out the center of a large paper plate and then they learned about wet-on-wet watercolor painting techniques. First we created a spiral from the center out. Then students created designs to fill up the spiral using a Sharpie. Next we placed our finished spirals on a paper towel and sprayed them down with a water bottle. When the circles were already wet from the spray bottles we added watercolor paint. If the plate got to wet you could softly dab it off with the paper towel. When you say the word "dab" please know that your students will throw their hands up in the air and to the side. Do not be alarmed this it just the latest dance craze thing! A lot if the kids wanted to keep their towels too. They all thought the towel was part of the project! Just make sure they write their names on the towels because next week, without the paper dot on it all the towels look like "their" towel! Have a wonderful Dot Day everyone!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A 12-kg dog jumps up in the air to catch a ball. The dog's center of mass is normally 0.20 m above the ground, and he is 0.50 m long. The lowest he can get his center of mass is 0.10 m above the ground, and the highest he can get it before he can no longer push against the ground is 0.60m. If the maximum force the dog can exert on the ground in pushing off is 2.1 times the gravitational force Earth exerts on him, how high can he jump? 2. Relevant equations Change in gravitational potential energy = mgΔx Work = Force * Force Displacement 3. The attempt at a solution Dog pushes itself to 0.6 m, then from that point the change in position is given by: 0.5*(2.1mg - mg) = mgΔx 0.55 m = Δx Δx + 0.6 m = 1.15 m I'm not sure if 1.15 m is correct, but I do know that 1.05 m, 0.85 m, 1.5 m, and 0.74 m are incorrect.

Soy is a common food allergen, and there is a correlation of those who are intolerant to a food item as to those who are allergic to it. According to Eliot Herman, Ph.D., a researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture approximately 5 to 8 percent of children and 1 to 2 percent of adults are allergic to soy. According to the Food and Drug Administration, an estimated 0.2 percent of Americans are allergic to soy. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 lists soy as one of the eight most common food allergies. While an allergy to soy would produce a measurable immune response, an intolerance to soy would not. If a food, such as soy, produces a significant amount of allergic reactions in a population, however, it is reasonable to suspect that there will be a corresponding number of individuals who are intolerant of the soy as well.

February is a Time to Teach This year, I have decided to teach my son the complete seasonal cycle of a tree. I picked a fruit tree for the following reasons: - Fruit trees bloom early - They set a tangible, recognizable fruit - The qualities of the tree will stimulate the senses: smell, taste, touch The victim, er uh, subject, is a lone Kieffer Pear at the bottom of a short road embankment near our neighborhood. The tree is in the street right-of-way, making the pear a 'public' tree. We don't want to be trespassing, now, do we? Since we roll by the tree regularly on both walks and drives, my son and I will be able to monitor the tree as it blooms, breaks leaves, produces fruit, and turns color. The grand climax, of course, will be picking some pears and feasting on the fruits of the tree's labor. Creating an extended relationship between a student and his subject of study is one of the most effective and exciting teaching methods. It is far better than the typical institutional model, where a kid's exposure to outdoor plants and trees consists of a few crammed field trips to an urban nature center.

Om is part of the iconography found in ancient and medieval era manuscripts, temples, monasteries and spiritual retreats in Hindu, Buddha, Sikh and Jain Dharmas. The symbol has a spiritual meaning in all Indian dharmas, but the meaning and connotations of Om vary between the diverse schools within and across the various traditions. In Hinduism, Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols (pratima). It refers to Atman (soul, self within) and Brahman (ultimate reality, entirety of the universe, truth, divine, supreme spirit, cosmic principles, knowledge). The syllable is often found at the beginning and the end of chapters in the Vedas, the Upanishads, and other Hindu texts. It is a sacred spiritual incantation made before and during the recitation of spiritual texts, during puja and private prayers, in ceremonies of rites of passages (sanskara) such as weddings, and sometimes during meditative and spiritual activities such as Yoga. Published – An indian yoga association, Aym.

This is the 3rd in a series that started with the gravitational potential, and then the harmonic. While those are the two biggies, what we are looking at next behaves more like something you would see in real life, and doesn’t have solutions that can be written down with simple formulas. For this entry in our series, I reached into my hat and pulled out the lorentz distribution from basic physics. It it finite in all ranges from the very small, all the way out to infinity, and dare I say beyond. These images range from a stream of slow particles which converge directly to the center of the force field, through a range of velocities, until the force is just a blip to be zoomed over, producing just a slight deflection. Some features to note. The intermediate images have more features and details than either the harmonic or gravitational wells. That is directly related to the cut offs in the force. Only the harmonic and gravitational potentials have elliptical orbits, all other potentials have more complicated and complex shapes. Eventually, however the streams get fast enough that there are no major deflections and no bound orbits. That just shows up as a narrow beam of deflected particles.

Like his predecessor Sir John Abbott, Sir John Sparrow David Thompson presided over a short Liberal-Conservative mandate, from December 1892 to December 1894. Born in Halifax and trained as a lawyer, he was also a former Premier of Nova Scotia and an experienced federal Minister of Justice when he took the Prime Ministerial post. During his time in office, Thompson worked established Canada's first Criminal Code. He also dealt with the United States over the Bering Sea sealing dispute and settled disputes over schooling in the North West Territories. He also officially recognized Labour Day as a national holiday designated the first Monday in September. The City of Winnipeg initiated the celebrations with a parade 2 miles (3 km) long. Thompson was a believer in women's rights, and strongly favoured giving them the vote, a view he expressed in 1893, over twenty years before women's suffrage finally became a reality. Unfortunately, Thompson died of a heart attack while still in office. He was at Windsor Castle in London, at the time, and Queen Victoria arranged a requiem mass for him. Canada's first Catholic Prime Minister, he converted after his marriage. His body was returned to Canada on a ship, painted black to mark the nation's mourning for him.

As part of our topic 'The Battle of Hastings - 1066', we visited a Norman Castle not far from us in Lincoln. The children made replica shields and experienced a medieval banquet with King Henry and his Lords and Ladies. We walked around the castle walls and learnt about the history of the castle and the two mottes built by William the Conqueror. In the afternoon, the children took part in some knight training learning how to fire a bow and arrow and how much armour the knights had to wear to protect themselves. The children even had the chance to try on some of the armour. We ended the day with a joust between the two opposing teams. After a thoroughly exciting day we returned to school with our shields as a memento of a fun day out.

Vector-borne diseases should be prevented: WHO Zee Media Bureau New Delhi: WHO has decided to make vector-borne diseases the theme for this year's World Health Day celebrations on April 7 in order to generate awareness about them. WHO said that vector-borne diseases like Malaria, Dengue and Japanese Encephalitis could be eradicated through preventive measures and more financial commitment for campaigns against the diseases. At a press briefing the WHO representative to India, Nata Menabde said "We want to make people empowered to take decisions on their own to prevent these diseases,". Menabde said there was a need to strengthen the overall healthcare system in the country to prevent these diseases and more financial commitment to contain them. "I also want to emphasize the importance of the primary healthcare campaign in this regard," she said. Asheena Khalakdina, WHO country office for India said, "In India, the National Health Mission has been important in curbing vector-borne diseases''. The total burden of such diseases globally stands at 17 percent whereas a staggering 70 percent of such diseases are reported from low and middle income countries because of poor living conditions.

Celestite (Strontium Sulfate) Celestite, Wood County, Ohio; N 3846 The name celestite comes from a Latin word meaning "heaven." This refers to the sky-blue, "celestial" color often seen in this mineral. Since celestite is the most common mineral that contains the metal strontium, it is the predominate ore for that element. Compounds of strontium color a flame red, and they sometimes are used in the manufacture of fireworks. Celestite has been found in various places in Europe and North America, but the state of Ohio is famous for having many of the best deposits. This mineral has been reported in 11 of Ohio’s counties. Northwestern Ohio produces crystals of this mineral in colors ranging from white to a beautiful pale blue. Crystal cave on South Bass Island is a large vug filled with very large crystals of celestite. In the southwestern part of the state it occasionally is found in the area of Serpent Mound State Memorial where an unusual geological disturbance occurred.

School Structure >> Key Stage 4 Key Stage 4 Key Stage Four consists of Years 10 and 11. It marks the beginning of a 2 year course which culminates in external I/GCSE examinations. This is a crucial stage in students’ development as they move from childhood to young adults, both in terms of academic and personal achievement. I/GCSE’s are an essential pathway for future education or employment. These qualifications are necessary for A level study, enabling them to make the smooth transition to Key Stage Five at MIS. Key Stage Four is a significant stage and this is when students become more independent in thought and should adopt a more mature approach to their studies. It is also a challenging time and students need to develop skills such as resilience, creativity and commitment, if they are to succeed. At MIS we offer a range of extra curricular activities that complement our academic studies and provide opportunities to build confidence and encourage both individual and team performances. Key stage Four is a vital time for students to develop not only academically but also socially, in school and the wider world. We aim to foster a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where students can achieve their full potential. Mrs Claire Gordon

Archaeologists working in a planned construction area for the Israel Antiquities Authority have discovered more than 100 artifacts that were used in ancient pagan rituals. 3,500-year-old incense vessels and decorative ritual cups were found buried in a rock hollow. Professor Yossi Garfinkel of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem pointed out that holy articles were buried after their use rather than thrown out. “It is quite possible that these artifacts were used in the cultic area and in the temple and they accumulated, and when they ran out of space or they became old, a pit was made to bury them,” he said. Some of the vessels found at the site were from Cyprus and Mycenae, showing a ritualistic connection between Greece and Israel. Israel’s Antiquities Authority has expressed plans to exhibit the findings within the next year.

Every year, 4,000-6,000 Swiss sheep die after falling down mountains, becoming ill or being struck by lightning. In comparison, the number of sheep killed by wolves is small. Still, many are calling for canton Valais in south-western Switzerland to be a predator-free zone. Raised for meat, milk and wool, Swiss sheep numbered about 340,000 in 2016. Of these, 389 were killed by wolves. The Swiss wolf population is estimated at 30-35 individuals. Now a local initiative wants to eliminate species like wolf, bear and lynx – animals that are protected under the Bern Conventionexternal link. We ask locals whether there’s room for the wolf in their backyards. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

When you're drinking a sugary soda or acidic soft drink, be sure to grab a straw to help reduce your risk for cavities. A recent report in General Dentistry, the clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry, notes that drinking potentially tooth-damaging beverages with a properly positioned straw can help minimize your risk. Researchers recommend sipping through a straw positioned toward the back of the mouth to limit the beverage’s contact with teeth. Even then, researchers add, soda sippers should rinse with water after drinking and brush with fluoride toothpaste to protect back molars. Frequent exposure to acids in colas, diet colas, non-cola soft drinks and commercial iced teas can erode dental enamel and lead to cavities. But enjoying an occasional soft drink and using a straw can reduce risk and, better yet, substituting water for soft drinks one or more times a day can also help keep your smile healthy.© American Dental Association.

I love giving the “what is rhetoric” lecture in my freshman writing seminar. Most students have at least heard of a rhetorical question, but most don’t know what “rhetoric” means, nor have they heard of logos, pathos and ethos. The first thing that students need to know about rhetoric, then, is that it’s all around us in conversation, in movies, in advertisements and books, in body language, and in art. We employ rhetoric whether we’re conscious of it or not, but becoming conscious of how rhetoric works can transform speaking, reading, and writing, making us more successful and able communicators and more discerning audiences. —AP College Board

The Main Castle The Main Castle's passages, halls and chapels bear testament to the fascinating history of Turku, Finland, Sweden and the other Nordic countries. The Sture Church and the Nun’s Chapel hold the Museum Centre’s exceptional collection of medieval wooden religious statues. The Castle Church represents early 18th century. The King’s State Room was Finland’s most important secular room from the early 14th century to the mid-16th century. Nearly all of Sweden’s medieval kings have stayed in this room. The King’s and Queen’s Halls date from the 1550s, when the medieval fortification was turned into a renaissance palace by Duke John and the Duchess, Catherine of Jagello. The exhibition rooms on the attic floor showcase highlights from the Museum Centre’s collections. The permanent exhibition in the Bailey focuses on everyday life in the castle, its festivities, court and staff. Experience the castle as a defensive structure, as a staging post for tax and trade goods, as barracks and as a museum. Highlights include life-sized wax figures that portray historical figures from the past.

Hypoxemia occurs when a person experiences lower-than-normal oxygen levels in the blood, specifically in the arteries. According to WebMD, this can lead to what’s known as hypoxia, “when your blood doesn’t carry enough oxygen to your tissues to meet your body’s needs,” although hypoxia is often used to describe both conditions. This can occur suddenly as a result of taking certain medications or having an asthma attack, or develop over time due to heart problems or lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and emphysema. Although symptoms of hypoxia often vary from person to person, the following are the five most common ones to be aware of. As red blood cells are what carry oxygen to the body’s tissues, an insufficient amount of them can cause the skin to change color. Known as cyanosis, the skin will typically appear a dark bluish-red, and is most noticeable if oxygen levels drops dramatically. For those with darker skin colors, MedlinePlus says cyanosis “may be easier to see in the mucous membranes (lips, gums, around the eyes) and nails.”

We started our class showing a PowerPoint presentation of Rob Scotton’s art. This is the first year that the first, second and third grades are able to view art using PowerPoint, so they were really excited with this new experience. They loved looking at the art of Rob Scotton and were happy to try to imitate his art. The main reasons for this lesson was to stress; drawing to fill the page and perspective. I really think the results of this lesson are impressive. Rob Scotton is the author and illustrator of “Splat the Cat,” and “Russell the Sheep” books for kids. Check out his website at http://www.robscotton.com/ . - Art of Rob Scotton (PowerPoint) - Art of Rob Scotton (Images) - White drawing paper - Pencil and eraser - View the PowerPoint presentation and discuss perspective and drawing to fill the page. - Give a copy of an image of Rob’s art to each student. - Draw your version of the image you are imitating - Color your drawing, staying as close to the color of the original art as possible. 3rd Grade Projects Gallery:

I am new to python and practising with examples from book. Can anyone explain why when I am trying to stem some example with this code nothing is changed? >>> from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer >>> stemmer.stem('numpang wifi stop gadget shopping') 'numpang wifi stop gadget shopping' res = ",".join([ stemmer.stem(kw) for kw in 'numpang wifi stop gadget shopping'.split(" ")]) the problem is that, probably, that stemmer works on single words. your string has no "root" word, while the single word "shopping" has the root "shop". so you'll have to compute the stemming separately from their source code -> Stemming algorithms attempt to automatically remove suffixes (and in some cases prefixes) in order to find the "root word" or stem of a given word. This is useful in various natural language processing scenarios, such as search. so i guess you are indeed forced to split your string by yourself

Earth Day is April 22. 2010 is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, so this year Earth Day should be celebrated in a special way. The best way to celebrate Earth Day is to get your children outside to enjoy the great outdoors. It is important to teach our children the value of our precious environment and how to be good stewards and protect all our resources. Here are some ideas: - Go to your nearest public park and pick up litter. Okay, I know that's not fun. Perhaps you should do one of these other things first, and then pick up litter before you leave. - Take a hike. Look for wild flowers (don't pick them though!) and signs of wildlife--birds nests and squirrels nests are sometimes easy to spot. - Plant a garden in your own backyard. Children will enjoy growing their own food and flowers. Tomatoes, peppers, and squash are easy to grow. Purchase plants just about anywhere this time of year. Then plant a row of zinnia seeds which will come up quickly and help to attract pollinators to your new vegetable bed.

About Hitler and his road to taking power, his life, and his role in the Holocaust. The name Adolph Hitler sends a chill down any person's spine, no matter what religion or ethnicity. A household name, Hitler led the genocide, or mass killing of a specific group of people, in a movement known as the Holocaust. How did Hitler gain the support of so many Germans and turn a liberal democratic government into a totalitarian dictatorship? How did Hitler convince people that he was the right man to lead Germany to victory? Germany's chaotic period worked to Hitler's benefit and allowed him to make severe changes, which was virtually most of the reason that Hitler came to power.… E-pasta adrese, uz kuru nosūtīt darba saiti: Saite uz darbu:

Labrador retrievers have a bad reputation as insatiable chow hounds, but it’s not their fault, scientists say, according to a report by The New York Times. The breed’s tendency toward obesity could be blamed on their genetic makeup, The New York Times story said . A recent study of 310 Labrador retrievers found many of them were missing a gene that both regulates appetite and helps them sense how much body fat they are storing, The New York Times reported. Just like humans with rare disorders, such as Prader-Willi syndrome, the dogs have a chronic feeling of hunger and will gobble up pretty much anything within reach, The New York Times story said.

What is a Hotspot? A Hotspot is the access point of a wireless network. A Wifi-enabled device is capable of connecting to a hotspot. - Let us say you are beyond the reach of your home or office network, somewhere in an airport or a shopping mall. - You scan for available networks using your Wifi-enabled device. - You see one or more available networks and you choose one that is free to connect. That is more likely a WiFi Hotspot. - When your device is connected to a Hotspot, you can start surfing the web. There are tens of thousands of Free and pay per use WiFi Hotspots around the world. Many cafés and restaurants provide free access to a WiFi Hotspot. What you need: JIWIRE provides a WiFi finder service to locate hotspots around the world.

the mannitol salts agar, the coagulase test is another method for differentiating between pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of Staphylococcus. Bacteria that produce coagulase use it as a defence mechanism by clotting the areas of plasma around them, thereby enabling themselves to resist phagocytises by the host's immune system. The sample is usually incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for one to four hours. A positive test is denoted by a clot formation in the test tube after the allotted time. to carry out Coagulate test: - Slide coagulate test - Place a drop of distilled water on a slide. - Emulsify the test strain to obtain a homogenous thick suspension. - False negative reactions will occur of the bacterial suspension is not heavy enough. - Observe for auto-agglutination. - Dip a straight wire or loop into the plasma. - Mix gently with the homogenous suspension. - Strains which auto-agglutinate must be tested by an alternative procedure. Positive result visible clumping within 10 seconds Negative result no visible clumping within 10 seconds.

ScienceDaily (May 20, 2009) — The most comprehensive modeling yet carried out on the likelihood of how much hotter the Earth's climate will get in this century shows that without rapid and massive action, the problem will be about twice as severe as previously estimated six years ago - and could be even worse than that. The study uses the MIT Integrated Global Systems Model, a detailed computer simulation of global economic activity and climate processes that has been developed and refined by the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change since the early 1990s. The new research involved 400 runs of the model with each run using slight variations in input parameters, selected so that each run has about an equal probability of being correct based on present observations and knowledge. Other research groups have estimated the probabilities of various outcomes, based on variations in the physical response of the climate system itself. But the MIT model is the only one that interactively includes detailed treatment of possible changes in human activities as well - such as the degree of economic growth, with its associated energy use, in different countries. The complete article in Science Daily is here.

The luminous intensity distribution pattern for a light source shows in which direction and with what intensity the light is emitted. The individual values can be presented in tabular or graphic form, and a number of diagrams are normally employed for this purpose. Luminous intensity is usually based on a 1000 lm light source. C Plane System The interior around the light source is treated as comprising a large number of planes, which can be divided up into the A, B and C plane systems. The most frequent procedure is to use the C plane system, with the common axis represented by a vertical line passing through the centre of the luminaire. Every plane is then defined in terms of the angle formed with a defined line of reference, e.g. the axis of the luminaire. Luminous intensity is usually measured in the C-plane at 15° intervals and for emission angles in 5° increments.

Local Groups are used to assign premissions to resources on a local computer. Members can be added from any other trusted location including the local domain and any other trusted domains or forests. Domain Local Groups Domain Local Groups are used to assign permission to resources in the local domain. Members can be added from any other trusted location. Domain Local Groups are often used to assign permissions. Domain Local groups can be converted into a Universal Group provided no other Domain Local groups are a member of this Domain Local Group. Global Groups are used to assign permissions to resources in any domain within the forest. Members can be added from the same domain as the parent Global Group or from the domain of which the group is a member if it has no parent Global Group. Global Groups can be converted into Universal Groups provided it is not a member of any other Global Group. Universal Groups are used to assign permissions to any resource in any domain or forest. Universal Groups can contain members from any domain within the forest and can also include Global Groups from the same domain as the Universal Group resides. Universal Groups can be converted into Domain Local groups. Universal Groups can also be converted into Global Groups provided no other Universal Groups exist as members of this group.

The speed of light can seem fairly slow when you’re talking about communicating across galaxies. FM broadcasts and the earliest television programs from, say, half a century of broadcasting have reached a distance of 50 light-years, or about 294 trillion miles, from Earth. The nearest star is about 4 light-years away, and there are on the order of several thousand stars within the 50- light-year range. So the earliest episodes of I Love Lucy are washing over a new star system at the rate of about one system a day. Any civilization on the receiving end would need a very large antenna to pick up the broadcasts, about the size of Manhattan, but scientists suggest it could be done. But the chances that one star in a few thousand had some sort of civilization might be a big overestimate.

For a class called Principles of Engineering (PoE) my team built a paintball turret that could take an image, and paint it in dot art on a canvas. Starting with an image of the Olin “O”, we first break it up into a voroni diagram, and place a paint splat in the center of each section. With all these points, we have to figure out an efficient way to go about painting them, so we calculated a TSP path for the paintball marker to follow. The marker is mounted onto a pan/tilt mechanism, so we also need to do a conversion from its spherical coordinate system to the planar coordinate system of our canvas. We ran into several issues with mechanical slop in our system, mostly due to the COTS parts we bought to attach to the D shaft of out motors, which involved set screws. Here is our rather abstract rendition of the Olin “O”. Check out more about this on the project website.

What time is it? by Hsu Heng-Chuan (Jerry) Greenwich clock with standard measurements Ever since I was born, I have often heard that people talk about Standard Time. My teacher told me about Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Originally referred to as the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, it later became adopted as a global Standard Time. The Royal Observatory is the source of the Prime Meridian of the world, Longitude 0° 0' 0''. Every place on the Earth is measured in terms of its distance east or west from this line. The line divides the eastern and western hemispheres of the Earth – just as the Equator divides the northern and southern hemispheres. Time is important because it tells us when we need to be at certain places. It tells us how much time has gone by. Time is a very important aspect of our lives. Join in and write your own page! It's easy to do. How? Simply click here to return to UEC England forum.

The STEM gender gap continues to prove challenging Every student who has returned to school this fall should have the opportunity to prepare for the rapidly growing job opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math–also known as the STEM fields. But many students, especially women and underrepresented minorities, needlessly opt out–or are shut out–of discovering a passion or talent for one of these subjects. Physics is among the least diverse of the sciences, with only 20 percent of bachelor’s degrees going to women and fewer than 10 percent to underrepresented minorities. The field needs to catch up to biology and chemistry, which have almost closed the gender gap at the undergraduate level. (Next page: How should STEM education change?)

This Google Slides presentation is a 30 minute mini lesson on friendship. It can be edited to fit your needs. To begin, a read aloud of Enemy Pie is embedded in the presentation. Students listen to the read aloud (you could read it yourself if you prefer), and then answer some facilitation questions identifying elements of friendship in the story. These questions are already given in the Slides presentation. Next is a class discussion on what friendship entails. Ideas can be written on the slide itself if you have a Smartboard, but it is not required. Then students draw a pie on a piece of notebook paper or construction paper and set some goals to become a better friend. Students could color this in if time allows. Finally, students listen to a song about friendship, "Count on Me," by Bruno Mars (the music video is embedded in the presentation) and sing along. (This is very heart warming!)

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 was recorded off the remote northern coast of Papua New Guinea at a depth of about 8 km (5 miles) on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said in a statement there was no threat of a widespread tsunami from the quake, although it warned that earthquakes of that size could generate destructive tsunamis within 100 km (60 miles) of the epicenter. The Australian government’s Bureau of Meteorology said there was no tsunami threat to Australia. There were no immediate reports of damage or injury. In 1998, part of the northern coast of Papua New Guinea was devastated by a tsunami, generated by a 7.0 quake, that killed around 2,200 people. Reporting by Paul Tait; Editing by John Mair

"everybody has benefited immensely from scientific research involving animals" The Royal Society The use of animals in research - 28 January 2002 "…everybody has benefited immensely from scientific research involving animals and virtually every medical achievement in the past century has depended directly or indirectly from this type of work". The Royal Society is the world's oldest scientific academies in continuous existence. It is one of the leading independent scientific bodies of the UK and the Commonwealth, aiming to promote and support excellence in science. The Society is independent of government, as it has been throughout its existence, by virtue of its Royal Charters. Along with publishing seven, high quality peer-reviewed journals covering many aspects of science, the Royal Society is also involved in funding research, providing advice on controversial issues of the day, and work on increasing public interest in science.

Networking - Interview Questions and Answers What is passive topology? When the computers on the network simply listen and receive the signal, they are referred to as passive because they don't amplify the signal in any way. Example for passive topology -linear bus. What is Brouter? Hybrid devices that combine the features of both bridges and routers. What is cladding? A layer of a glass surrounding the center fiber of glass inside a fiber-optic cable. What is point-to-point protocol? A communications protocol used to connect computers to remote networking services including Internet service providers. How Gateway is different from Routers? A gateway operates at the upper levels of the OSI model and translates information between two completely different network architectures or data formats. What is attenuation? The degeneration of a signal over distance on a network cable is called attenuation.

A collection of various epoxy adhesives that can be used as glues for wood, metal, glass, stone, and some plastics. Epoxy adhesives are a major part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives" or "engineering adhesives" (that includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and other chemistries.) These high-performance adhesives are used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, and other applications where high strength bonds are required. Epoxy adhesives can be made flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque/coloured, fast setting or slow setting. Epoxy adhesives are better in heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives.

Who makes laws? In most of the democratic world, that’s the sole preserve of elected governments. But in Finland, technology is about to make democracy significantly more direct. Earlier this year, the Finnish government enabled something called a “citizens’ initiative”, through which registered voters can come up with new laws – if they can get 50,000 of their fellow citizens to back them up within six months, then the Eduskunta (the Finnish parliament) is forced to vote on the proposal. Now this crowdsourced law-making system is about to go online through a platform called the Open Ministry. The non-profit organization has been collecting signatures for various proposals on paper since 1 March, when citizens’ initiatives came in, but a couple of days ago the government approved the electronic ID mechanism that underpins the digital version of the platform. That means it can now go live on 1 October. View original post 538 more words

UNESCO's scientific programmes address sustainable development, the overarching challenge of the 21st century. In scientific disciplines such as oceanography and hydrology, transboundary cooperation is indispensable. UNESCO provides a forum to its 193 member states for such scientific cooperation. How can we use scarce water resources so as to ensure their availability in the long term? How can we use the land without exhausting the soil? How can we establish global standards in bioethics? How can we deal with international migration in a manner that respects human rights? How can we create and sustain excellent research centres in Africa? How can we involve more women in research? UNESCO helps its member states in finding reliable answers to such questions. In Germany, UNESCO’s science programmes are implemented by a number of partners. For example, there are four national committees for specialized scientific programmes. The German Commission for UNESCO (DUK) acts as a mediator among its partners. For example, since 2007 DUK supports the German MAB committee in its efforts to promote UNESCO biosphere reserves in Germany and abroad. DUK acts on its own in implementing several elements of UNESCO’s science programmes, e.g. in bioethics or in human rights.
