“Sesame Street” honored black history by unearthing some old clips from its archive. The show shared three vintage clips featuring black icons like Maya Angelou, Ray Charles and Erykah Badu on YouTube. A spokesperson for the show told The Huffington Post that representation is a very important part of “Sesame Street,” which has featured a diverse cast and stories about appreciating differences and similarities throughout its 47-year history. “Celebrating diversity and inclusion is in our DNA,” she said. “Studies show that kids engage and learn more fully when they see themselves reflected onscreen, and ‘Sesame Street’ is for ALL children around the world.” The spokesperson added that they’re always looking for more ways to be inclusive and recently launched a fellowship program to bring more diverse voices into the writers’ room. “We know the power our characters have to reach and teach children – and influence their behavior,” she told HuffPost. “Beyond ABCs and 123s, our program delivers lessons including inclusivity, mutual respect and understanding – which are critical lessons for developing kindness, empathy, and compassion.”

A New Hope for Success to Fight Ebola Who would not know about the infamous Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) that has killed approximately 4400 people and 8900 believe to be infected this year 2014. EVD is caused by ebola viruses that could be transferred or acquired through contact with body fluids of an ebola infected human or animal. The french nurse who volunteered to serve in Liberia in curing people with EVB that had been infected by Ebola is now cured of disease and has leave the hospital. The Favipiravir, also known as T-705 or Avigan, is the drug believe to have cured the nurse from the disease. Favipiravir used in curing influenza viruses, foot and mouth diseases, west nile virus, yellow fever virus and other flaviviruses is now a candidate anti-viral drug to fight ebola.

The New Zealand Herald informs -at http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storyprint.cfm?storyID=2048412- of the general tendency to install broadband modems using default passwords, thereby making them vulnerable. According to this newspaper, a computer programmer discovered that, in New Zealand most modems are installed with the default password. In fact, he even detected the activity of a hacker who modified the configuration of his modem in order to use his bandwidth. This type of activity is also used by attackers to hide the source of attacks or to disguise the origin of unsolicited mail. In general, users are not aware that malicious users could use their broadband modems, even though this is something that could affect everyone using this type of connection (wherever they live).

For much of its history, North Africa has fallen under the control of various empires and foreign power. However, as many of these conquerors eventually found out, North Africa was a region that was both unwieldy in its dimensions and unwieldy to control. The region’ disconnected, fragmented regional perspectives and administrative structures resulted from and produced a fissiparous process of cumulative and reinforced fragmentation, whether looking at matters from the littoral or from the interior. In this post, I want to look at North Africa in Late Antiquity (ca. 200–600) and how the region’s geography, politics, and society made it nearly impossible for central authorities (usually Romans or Byzantines) to fully control the region.

Facts About Missing Teeth Here are some interesting facts about missing teeth and tooth loss: - Many older adults end up losing all of their natural teeth. - Almost 180 million people in the U.S. have lost at least one tooth. - Your diet and lifestyle influence your rate of tooth loss and affect your oral health. - Approximately 4 percent of adults do not have any teeth. You may need to seek implant dentistry procedures if you have lost a single tooth or have several missing teeth. Dr. Brandon Jones may recommend a tooth replacement procedure with dental implants to prevent further bone loss and restore proper functioning of the jaw.

Lyrebirds are but one aspect of our forests’ natural army of ‘fuel reducers’. Bandicoots, Potoroos, and other small diggers, hoppers and scratchers are all extremely important in turning over the forest’s compost daily. Add to this work force the insects and their larvae, termites and fungi that are constantly devouring leaves, twigs and even logs. Sadly these effective and efficient natural fuel reducers are killed off, displaced or lose their cover and are eaten by foxes and cats every time the government land managers perform their burns; many are over hundreds and sometimes thousands of hectares of forest per burn. To those with an ecological understanding these burns are destructive and counterproductive. To the government it’s a way to give the public a false sense of security while performing massive eco-cide in our forests. It’s overdue that this practice be reviewed. Read The Age article “Not just a pretty tail: The lyrebird is a superb firefighter”.

The problem in my packet says, "A medical technician uses a pair of four inch longtweezers to remove a wood sliver from a patient. The technician is applying one pound of squeezing force to the tweezers. If more than 1/5 lb of force is applied to the silver, it will break and become difficult to remove. a. Sketch and annotate the lever system described above. b. What is the actual mechanical advantage of the system? c. Using static equilibrium calculations, calculate how far from the fulcrum the tweezers must be held to avoid damaging the sliver. " I don't understand how this problem can be done or if there is enough information to solve.

Researchers at University of Essex have developed a new app that can turn your iPhone into a hearing aid. The app, known as BioAid, is free to download and works with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. There are six fixed settings that the user can select to address their particular type of hearing loss with each of the settings four fine-tuning sub-settings which allows the user to target the specific frequencies that they have difficulty hearing. The app works by increasing the audio levels of only low sounds while turning down the audio levels of loud sounds, similar to what a human ear does. "We are very excited about the potential of BioAid which could genuinely change lives. People with hearing impairment very often withdraw from public life. Even if they have a hearing aid, the technology is not sophisticated enough to offer a tailor-made solution to their impairment and in many cases people simply stop using them", lead researcher Professor Ray Meddis said.

Physiological Chemistry Dpt. Astrophysics seeks to explain observed phenomena in terms of known, and sometimes speculative, physical processes and mechanisms. Insights from astronomy have important implications for the physical sciences in general, and physics in particular. Astronomical objects and processes often represent extreme physical conditions, such as strong gravitational fields, extreme particle energies and temperatures, and velocities close to the speed of light. These objects and processes serve as remote laboratories in which processes or conditions that cannot be replicated on earth can be examined. Astronomy also helps to provide an understanding of the origin and evolution of the universe that is of deep cultural significance.

As previously noted, America’s Whig Party made liberal use of libations at election time. This strategy did not always go down smoothly; this anti-Whig woodcut from Louisiana mocks the Whigs’ predilection for “entrapping” voters with free alcohol. (The log cabin was a Whig symbol.) What an innocent age! Of course, today's voters are WAY too sophisticated to fall for traps of this primitive nature. (Although if one were to substitute a free cell phone for the cider...) The text below accompanied the anti-Whig woodcut: "Tip. and Ty." were William Henry Harrison (aka, Tippecanoe) and John Tyler (Ty), the Whig candidates of 1840. They won, and both men got to be President of the United States. Score one for free hard cider. Images from the Library of Congress, Rare Book and Special Collections Division

Under the current program, the government sets a minimum price to cover dairy farmers’ production costs. If the market price drops below that, the government buys dairy products from farmers to buoy prices and increase demand. Since milk prices have remained above that minimum price in recent years, dairy farmers usually do better by selling their products commercially rather than to the government. But if 1949 rules go into effect, the government would be required to buy dairy products at around $40 per hundredweight — roughly twice the current market price — to drive up the price of milk to cover dairy producers’ cost. “It would be bad for consumer demand in the long run,” said Chris Galen, a spokesman for the National Milk Producers Federation, which represents more than 32,000 dairy farmers. Friday, December 21, 2012 With Farm Bill Stalled, Consumers May Face Soaring Milk Prices Why are we letting the government determine the prices? Each and everytime they manage to always SCREW things up. We really need to take this power away from them. $6-$8 a gallon? Unbelievable. Are we going to be held hostage by O'Bama on this, too?

Know someone who would fall in love with dazzling colors flashing across the sky? Those lights are called Aurora borealis, also known as Northern lights. Scientifically speaking, it is caused by particles with electrical charges from the sun that strikes the world’s atmosphere. And the best place to witness it is in Aurora Borealis Observatory on Senja, Island, Norway. What makes it more special is the hilltop location of the observatory that gives a 360-degree view of Northern lights. Telescopes are also provided so tourists could get a closer look at it. Aurora borealis are visible at night and if guests happen to visit earlier, they can spend some time in tents. Go for a ski AND lurk around the snow-covered hills or catch the wildlife animals such as whales, reindeer and moose. Watch the video here: Photo Credit: @Instagram: @linleong09

The Most Weird Tradition of Victorian Era: Post-Mortem Photography (Gallery) Making the portraits of the deceased has been common for many centuries. However, it was during the reign of Victoria I that industrialization resulted in affordable means of post-mortem photography. Following the invention of the daguerreotype, great ancestor of the camera developed by Louis Daguerre, the commemoration of the dead were suddenly changed. Painted portraits were considered too expensive with poor quality and carried too little realism. Hence, the portrait painters were replaced by “shooting camera”. This enabled even the poor to immortalize their loved ones.Many people followed this tradition due the high rate of maternal and infant mortality at the time. Most of the dead bodies were first scented and then staged for photography with visual rendering. In gallery below, you find a photograph of John O’Connor 2 years after his death, and even King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who on his deathbed, is surrounded by lighted candles. In most of these cases, the family photo is the only time the whole family is together for the photo. Each photograph in this collection publication has at least one person died.

Multi-agers and second graders read the book Tar Beach by american author, artist, and activist Faith Ringgold.We discussed how the story depicts a little girl flying over New York City at night, which was a reference to Ringgold’s mother, who, as a slave, imagined flying away to a better place. Faith Ringgold was a civil rights activist, and, in the 1950’s, she found it hard to have her work published, so she got creative. She began telling her stories through her art, and created story quilts. We emulated her signature style with a border of quilt squares, and created the glowing night sky by creating a tint of a color. Magazines and oil pastel were used for the skyscrapers, and look closely for a piece of brunswick in each picture.

Dynamo with steel magnet and brass and ebony terminals in a polished wood case. Designed for use on patients. Michael Faraday (1791-1867) discovered the principles of the electric motor and dynamo in 1831. He was followed fairly quickly by the adoption of electricity for medical purposes. These machines were made in large numbers and were thought to be effective in a wide variety of physical and nervous disorders. Faraday's great life work was the series 'Experimental Researches on Electricity', published over 40 years in 'Philosophical Transactions'. In it he described his many discoveries including electromagnetic induction (1831), the laws of electrolysis (1833) and the rotation of polarised light by magnetism (1845). © Science Museum / Science & Society Picture Library

The Bureau of Mines conducted drilling experiments in the laboratory with a commercially available percussive drill that has an independent rotational system. Eight rock types with a wide range of physical properties were drilled under several combinations of rotational speed, drilling thrust, and operating pressure. Penetration rates and energy per unit volume correlated well with the coefficient of rock strength as shown graphically. Size- distribution analyses of some of the drill cuttings show how particle size varies with rotation speed and rock hardness. In general, changing the rotational speed has a greater influence on the penetration rate in softer rocks, with penetration rate increasing with increasing rotational speed.

Learn about a new prehistoric animal every week with us. It will be a blast! STL Science Center 24 February 2016 Anatomy of An Archosaur Effigia has a different anatomy from the extant crocodiles and alligators that we know today. The femoral head, astragalus (the "ankle"), and the proportions of the manus (front "paw") have been discussed at length this week in terms of their being different and how they are different. The remainder of the anatomy (almost an entire animal) has not been heavily discussed. We mentioned that Effigia has shorter forelimbs than hindlimbs, making it a facultative quadruped that, when on four feet, angled downward rostrally. The cranium of Effigia is the most complete portion of the fossil animal, though the mandible of the archosaur is not known. A reasonable reconstruction of the mandible exists and the inferences that generated it came from the existing cranial elements as they were informative about the general morphology of the entire head.

True flies (order Diptera (1)) can do amazing aerobatic stunts (2) because they use a special sensor to detect tiny shifts and turns (3). They can hover (4) precisely, and even fly sideways or backwards.| Most flying insects have four wings, but flies have only two. The rear pair of wings appears to have evolved into (5) special movement sensors called halteres. Each haltere is a rod with a weight at the end and hundreds of sensory organs at the base. During flight, the halteres vibrate (6) up and down. If the fly turns left or right, up or down, or tilts either way (7), the halteres immediately sense the change and complex nerve circuits (8) adjust many tiny wing muscles.

The code itself was the culmination of a long process of political, social and legal development that extended into the period of the succeeding Nguyen Dynasty and, in many respects, into the twentieth century. As is the case with cultures of other countries in East Asia, Vietnam has been widely influenced by China. “This work is an achievement that will endure. It is an indispensable reference for anyone engaged in the study of Vietnamese history and culture. It is also a testament to Vietnam’s historic participations, with China, Korea, and Japan, in the larger Confucian cultural world.” K. W. Taylor, Journal of Southeast Asia Studies

|Young Charles Dickens| "I think continually about my age. Say I am seventeen, and say that seventeen is young for the eldest Miss Larkins, what of that? Besides, I shall be one and twenty in no time almost." Here, the narrator, a much older man writing his bildungsroman, remembers his youth with great perspicacity. Sorry. But the way he moves to the thought process of his younger self is worthy of emulation and the hinted second person address is similar to what I'm working with. J.D. Salinger knew it too. He mentions ol' Davy in the first sentence of what is obviously the best bildungsroman of the 20th century: "If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth." Dickens is a boss. 'Nuff said.

Tanya Marie Luhrmann explains how our understanding of schizophrenia has shifted over the years: [S]chizophrenia now appears to be a complex outcome of many unrelated causes—the genes you inherit, but also whether your mother fell ill during her pregnancy, whether you got beaten up as a child or were stressed as an adolescent, even how much sun your skin has seen. It’s not just about the brain. It’s not just about genes. In fact, schizophrenia looks more and more like diabetes. A messy array of risk factors predisposes someone to develop diabetes: smoking, being overweight, collecting fat around the middle rather than on the hips, high blood pressure, and yes, family history. These risk factors are not intrinsically linked. Some of them have something to do with genes, but most do not. They hang together so loosely that physicians now speak of a metabolic “syndrome,” something far looser and vaguer than an “illness,” let alone a “disease.” Psychiatric researchers increasingly think about schizophrenia in similar terms.

The main advantages of prestressed concrete (PSC) are: Smaller Section Sizes Since PSC uses the whole concrete section, the second moment of area is bigger and so the section is stiffer: The larger second moment of area greatly reduces deflections for a given section size. The smaller section size reduces self weight. Hence a given section can span further with prestressed concrete than it can with ordinary reinforced concrete. Since the entire section remains in compression, no cracking of the concrete can occur and hence there is little penetration of the cover. This greatly improves the long-term durability of structures, especially bridges and also means that concrete tanks can be made as watertight as steel tanks, with far greater durability.

City life features its own, personal music. The rattle of trains, the squealing of old taxis, and the vibration of buses create an urban tune which sets a rhythm that surrounds us. This music has long inspired musicians, in different times and different places. Starting from the 1920s, musicians created melodies based on the noise of ships, trains, cars, and helicopters. Music evolved to blend classical instruments with the sounds produced by objects around us. “The Music of Transport” is an experiment where Georgian musician Nick Machaidze mixes urban sounds with words. Machaidze is one of the first musicians in Georgia who used the mechanism of transport means to create musical tunes.

The Gnostics thought they had secret, special knowledge hidden from ordinary people. Their name comes from the Greek word gnosis, meaning “knowledge.” As Christianity spread, the Gnostics mixed some doctrines and elements of Christianity into their beliefs, morphing Gnosticism into a counterfeit Christianity. Perhaps they did it to keep recruitment numbers up and make Jesus a poster child for their cause. However, for their system of thought to fit with Christianity, Jesus needed to be reinvented, stripped of both his humanity and his absolute deity. In The Oxford History of Christianity, John McManners wrote of the Gnostics’ mixture of Christian and mythical beliefs. Gnosticism was (and still is) a theosophy with many ingredients. Occultism and oriental mysticism became fused with astrology, magic. … They collected sayings of Jesus shaped to fit their own interpretation (as in the Gospel of Thomas), and offered their adherents an alternative or rival form of Christianity.

What is the Buddhist view of violence? Buddhists view violence as the response of a confused mind to worldly experiences. Violence is not considered a “sin” but an unskillful means toward the ultimate end of achieving happiness. People commit violent actions out of anger, and they become angry because they are confused about what will make them happy. A simplified line of thinking of a person who commits violence is something like this: I want pleasure, and having X will make me happy. I can’t have X because this person or that situation is preventing me. If the person or situation would only be different than it is, I could have X. The person or situation that is thwarting me should be different and so I’m angry, and I will do something about it! So the angry person thinks that by forcing the person or situation to be different s/he will be happy, but true happiness results from recognizing that it is really our grasping at pleasure that causes our suffering, not the fact that we don’t get what we think will be pleasurable.

In 1804 a young man from Venezuela stood on a small hill in Rome and made a grand declaration. He said, “I swear before you, I swear before the God of my fathers, I swear by my fathers, I swear by my honour, I swear by my country that I will not rest, body or soul, until I have broken the chains with which Spanish power oppresses us.” His name was Simón Bolívar and over the next 30 years he made good on his promise, so much so that his name is synonymous with the removal of Spanish rule from South America. He has become more icon than man, a romantic hero and revolutionary symbol, but what did he actually do to achieve such fame and was it the power of ideas that drove him to success or the fortune of events?

Friday, June 19, 2015 Florida Coastal Indigo - Indigofera miniata var. floridana As it's name implies, this tends to be a procumbent species. It is a perennial herb (1-2 feet tall) that spreads out across the ground - growing as a clump that may reach several feet across. The stems and leaflets are covered with silvery hairs and the leaflets normally number from 5-7 per leaf. Blooming can occur in every month. The carmine red blooms are quite attractive with a broad standard that can measure nearly 1/4 inch long. The flowers are mostly bee pollinated. Indigos are so named because they have been used as dye plants throughout the world. They also are in the bean family and are used as larval plants for several species of native butterflies, in particular the ceraunus blue and Zarucco duskywing. Florida coastal indigo is not difficult to maintain in the landscape and makes an attractive and useful ground cover. Despite its usefulness/attractiveness, however, it is not currently offered for sale by any of the nurseries affiliated with FANN - the Florida Association of Native Nurseries.

The International Panel on Climate Change released their third and final report this weekend, warning that population growth and industrialization in the developing world could drive global warming past the point of no return. Even if it doesn't fall into that particular category, the U.S. could always be doing more toward mitigating its own emissions. But for what it's worth, it was not among the countries singled out by Oswaldo Lucon, a Brazilian scientist involved in the report, as having been responsible for watering down the panel's latest findings. (He fingered the Chinese, Indian, Saudi Arabian and even his own Brazilian delegation for doing so). And the following chart from AEI's Mark Perry shows the U.S. has been making significant gains in carbon dioxide reduction: At about 17 tons per capita, we are at a level not seen in half a century. Perry writes: CO2 emissions per capita in the US increased slightly last year, but were back to the same level as in 1963 (50 years ago), and 23% below the peak in the early 1970s, thanks to the boom in shale gas, which has displaced coal for electricity generation.

A pronoun is a word that stands in place of a noun. Kayden lay down on the bed and in two minutes he was asleep. In this example the pronoun 'he' is used instead of repeating the noun 'Kayden'. Words like I, he, she, it, we, you, they, him, her, us and them are personal pronouns. They are used instead of the names of people or things. There is another type of pronoun called a possessive pronoun, which is used when something belongs to someone. Kayden lay down on his bed. In this example, the pronoun 'his' shows that the bed belongs to Kayden. (It would sound strange to say 'Kayden lay down on Kayden's bed.') My, his, her, its, our, your and their are all possessive pronouns: Laura ate her dinner. The elephant lifted up a branch with its trunk. The children finished their homework.

MUMBAI, India — About one in six Indian city residents lives in an urban slum with unsanitary conditions that are ‘‘unfit for human habitation,’’ according to the first complete census of India’s vast slum population. More than 40 percent of households in Mumbai, India’s financial capital and largest city with 19 million people, are located in overcrowded shantytowns where most residents have little access to basic sanitation. While the report described open sewers and poverty, it also shows that many slum residents have cellphones and televisions and have made do with a lack of government infrastructure by rigging up elaborate, mostly illegal, systems to supply electricity. In the 2011 census, survey takers visited every shantytown — they counted 108,000 of them — and made detailed records of their lives. The census report identified 13.8 million households — about 64 million people — in city slums nationwide. That’s 17.4 percent of all urban households, roughly one-third of India’s 1.2 billion people.

The U.S Food and Drug Administration is currently supporting research that will look into how low nicotine content cigarettes will affect addiction, smoke exposure, and public health. While this change may act as a regulatory measure and indeed improve the effects on secondhand smoke and public safety, there is not yet any proof that reducing the nicotine content over time will eliminate smoking dependence. Published in Addiction, a study of 135 smokers found that simply reducing the amount of nicotine was not enough to actually lead smokers to quit. “Lead author Dr Neal Benowitz explains ‘We don’t know that very low nicotine cigarettes will not’ work to reduce nicotine dependence and enhance quitting, but progressively reducing nicotine content of cigarettes in the way we did, without other means of supporting smokers, did not produce the desired results.'” Click here to read the full article for Science Daily.

Just like your mother said, “Eat your vegetables”. And while you’re at it, throw in some fruit. Seems like a pretty basic tip, but few people actually get in the suggested amount of 7-10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Actually, few people get in 3-5 servings a day. 7-10 servings may sound like a lot, but it really is not if you’re including 1-2 fruit or vegetable sources each time you eat. So what are the benefits of all this fruit and vegetable consumption? One, they are an excellent source of all those vitamins and minerals that some of us tend to be deficient in. Two, they help balance your blood pH. Proteins and grains tend to be acidic whereas fruits and vegetables are more alkaline. Being in an acidic state can mean the loss of bone strength and muscle mass, which can further compromise your fat loss or weight loss goals. Three, they are an excellent source of fiber. Numerous studies show that individuals that consume higher amounts of fiber are more successful with weight loss than those who do not. As with protein, fiber will help manage insulin levels and increase satiety.

On our climate is greatly influenced by carbon dioxide (carbonic acid), which is part of the atmosphere. Molecules of carbon dioxide miss the main part of the Solar radiation, but absorb a significant amount of long-wave radiation of the Earth itself. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. And in greenhouses glass frame is practically not prevent the penetration of solar radiation, but at the same time retain heat emanating from the ground. As a result, in this structure, the air temperature rises and the fruits ripen faster. On Earth, the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere has steadily increased and, respectively, progressing the greenhouse effect. The increase in the temperature evenly. In polar regions, it is likely the most intensive than the average for the planet. Such climate change may cause rapid melting of ice and rising Global sea level. If its level will increase by 5-7 meters, large areas of land will be flooded. Greenhouse effect contributes not only to the increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but also cutting down forests, which absorb carbon dioxide. According to environmentalists, the heating of the inner layers of the atmosphere is one of the most serious problems facing humanity.

Authors: David Beauvais, Natural Resources Canada Michel Losier, NB Power CETC number: 2013-057 Publication date: 2013-06-18 In this case study, PowerShift Atlantic demonstrates one of the world’s first virtual power plants designed to allow for more effective integration and balancing of wind power onto the power grid. The project was launch in 2010 and is jointly funded by Natural Resources Canada through the Clean Energy Fund and by members of the Maritime consortium. The primary objective of this demonstration is to determine if load shifting can provide an economic and effective alternative to building new supply side ancillary services for the integration of wind with minimal or no disruption to participating utility customers. Talking about the current status, the benefits and cost and the lessons learned, this report gives a look on the possibility to reduce the cost when you’re using this new technique of wind energy exploitation. Also, they suggest some solutions to solve problems caused by large customers.

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. December 29, 1999 Explanation: As the 1990s began, the only planetary star system known was our own Solar System. The first extra-solar star system was discovered orbiting a pulsar in 1991. Slight changes in the precise arrival times of the pulses from the central small dense neutron star gave evidence of orbiting planets. By mid-decade Jupiter-like planets around Sun-like stars were being found by a slight wobble detected in the motion of these stars. Pictured above is an artist's sketch of a planet discovered orbiting HD217107. As the decade comes to a close, over two dozen planetary star systems have been identified, one recently confirmed by the detection of a slight eclipse by the planet itself. An unambiguous discovery of Sun-like star systems containing Earth-like planets still remains a goal. Authors & editors: Jerry Bonnell (USRA) NASA Technical Rep.: Jay Norris. Specific rights apply.

The MIT iGEM team opens the floor for questions after their presentation on Sunday. iGEM, or the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition, is a five-month-long research challenge, which culminated with a jamboree at MIT this past weekend. For their work, the MIT team received the award for Best Manufacturing Project. The MIT project had two parts: One part used ultraviolet light to induce bacteriophage production and polymerization, forming a 3D photo using the phage. The other part used pressure to induce mammalian stem cells to differentiate into bone cells. Awards are given in eight tracks, and the winners of the tracks are considered finalists for the grand prize, the BioBrick Trophy. MIT won its track, but not the grand prize, which went to the team from Slovenia for their work on using DNA-binding regions of proteins to gather together many proteins that are involved in the same biosynthetic pathway. The MIT team consisted of 13 undergraduates, 10 instructors, and 4 faculty advisors. To learn more about their project, visit http://2010.igem.org/Team:MIT

Health has always been tied to individual attitudes, aspirations, and behavior. Although not sufficient to ensure a healthy life, these personal components are core elements of physical and emotional well-being. For too long, the healthcare system diminished the importance of individual engagement and activation in achieving health care outcomes as well as reducing costs. The role of the physician, medical advancement, and the health care setting were promoted as the core elements of achieving health. In the last decade, research and payment models have proven that health is impacted far more outside the exam room. Individual engagement and activation are vital to impacting individual and population health. As a result of this shift, there is a resurgence of interest in how health systems and individual providers engage those receiving care. At a larger level, there is exploration of how those receiving services can influence or design the entire system of care, and how communities can further engage and activate the population to create healthier residents.

Many have tried to destroy the Bible. In a.d. 303, the Roman emperor Diocletian issued an edict to destroy Christians and their Bibles. Over a burned Bible, he built a monument on which he wrote these words, Extincto momene Christianorum (the name Christian is extinguished). Twenty years later, Diocletian was dead and the new Emperor Constantine commissioned fifty copies of the Bible to be prepared at government expense. In 1776 Voltaire, the French philosopher, announced, ‘One hundred years from my day, there will not be a Bible in the earth except one that is looked upon by some antique seeker.’ One hundred years later, Voltaire was dead and his own house and press were being used to print and store Bibles by the Geneva Bible Society. One hundred years from the day of Voltaire’s prediction, the first edition of his works sold for eleven cents in Paris, but the British government paid the Czar of Russia half a million dollars for an ancient Bible manuscript. God’s Word shall stand forever. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

Color of Minerals The color of a mineral’s surface is helpful in identifying the mineral. However, many minerals have variable colors. Calcite and quartz are examples of such minerals. Gold and silver are examples of minerals whose colors are constant and distinctive. Chemical impurities in minerals generally cause color variations. Iron is a common impurity in minerals. The yellowish-brown or reddish-brown sphalerite of western Ohio contains very little iron. The black sphalerite of eastern Ohio, however, contains significant amounts of iron. When examining a mineral specimen for its color, you always should look at a clean, unweathered surface. This is because tarnishing sometimes changes the color of a mineral. For example, marcasite can tarnish to a dark brassy color or brown, quite unlike the color of a freshly collected specimen.

Academic and lay discourses around disadvantaged urban areas often draw on the language of ‘dumping grounds’ to encapsulate the poverty, marginalisation and social problems often found there. Yet the concept of a dumping ground remains insufficiently theorised. This paper addresses this issue by identifying five constituent features of the dumping ground: - the perception of people as waste whose fate is to be discarded; - the need to accommodate this human ‘waste’ and the logic by which places are selected for this purpose; - the mechanisms through which this spatial sorting occurs as problem populations are moved to their ‘rightful’ place; - the relations of power which enforce or encourage this mobility; and finally, - the reactions of incumbent residents in neighbourhoods that are compelled to host unwanted social groups.

Wagner first conceived the work in April 1857 but did not finish it until twenty-five years later. It was to be Wagner's last completed opera and in composing it he took advantage of the particular acoustics of his Bayreuth Festspielhaus. Parsifal was first produced at the second Bayreuth Festival in 1882. The Bayreuth Festival maintained a monopoly on Parsifal productions until 1903, when the opera was performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Wagner preferred to describe Parsifal not as an opera, but as "ein Bühnenweihfestspiel" ("A Festival Play for the Consecration of the Stage"). At Bayreuth a tradition has arisen that there is no applause after the first act of the opera. Wagner's spelling of Parsifal instead of the Parzival he had used up to 1877 is informed by an erroneous etymology of the name Percival deriving it from a supposedly Arabic origin, Fal Parsi meaning "pure fool". More pieces by Wagner - Siegfried Idyll

There are many advantages to powder coating. Powder coatings are tough monolithic armor and are extremely resistant to abrasion, heat, liquid penetration, de-icers, corrosion, UV rays and chemical attack. Powder coatings are also economical and environmentally friendly because they contain no solvents and emit virtually no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Another advantage to powder coatings is that they also reduce the amount of waste and presents fewer hazards than fluidized applied shop coatings. Powder coatings also provide a uniform long-lasting finish with no runs, or other surface defects. They can be used for various metal substrates and can be formulated for color, gloss, texture and high temperature. Uses of Powdered Coatings - Architectural (ornamental) metals - Electrical switchgears - General industrial market - Heavy equipment - Lawn and garden: equipment and furniture - Light poles and fixtures - Office equipment - Traffic control and highway equipment - Cast iron - Stainless steel

Thursday, November 19, 2009 Men's Hosiery and the codpiece Men’s hosiery has evolved through the ages, dictated by what was worn above. Originally, hose were worn for warmth, under robes and floor-length tunics, but as tunics became shorter, hose became longer. In the Middle Ages hose, sometimes colorful, were held up by bands or fastened to the drawers (braies). As doublets came into fashion, hose gradually changed from two separate pieces to one piece (like pantyhose). When the length of doublets became so short as to defy modesty, a codpiece was worn, sometimes padded and covered in velvet and luxury fabrics (although there are also metal ones in museums). During the Renaissance, the hose became shorter, with breeches (like pantaloons) above, again made of rich fabrics in vibrant colors. The length of men’s hosiery also followed the fashion in various countries (witness the kilts that are worn today by some of the professional golfers). Eventually, trousers took the place of breeches and men’s hosiery became what it is today.

The Greenfinch is 15 cm long with a wing span of 24.5 to 27.5 cm. It is similar in size and shape to a House Sparrow, but is mainly green, with yellow in the wings and tail. The female and young birds are duller and have brown tones on the back. The bill is thick and conical. Habitat and Distribution This bird is widespread throughout Europe, north Africa and south west Asia. It is mainly resident, but some northernmost populations migrate further south. The Greenfinch has also been introduced into both Australia and New Zealand. The European Greenfinch favours Woodland edges, farmland hedges and gardens with relatively thick vegetation for breeding. They feed largely on seeds, but also take berries. They nest in trees or bushes, laying 3 to 8 eggs. Calls and Songs The song contains a lot of trilling twitters interspersed with wheezes, and the male has a `butterfly` display flight.

Iron is an essential mineral that is required for human life to exist. It is found in red blood cells and carries oxygen to every cell in the body. Iron is also involved in making ATP. Extra iron is stored in the liver, bone marrow, spleen, and muscles. Not getting enough iron can lead to anemia. The most common symptom is weakness and fatigue. This makes sense because if you don’t have enough iron to carry oxygen to your cells it would make you tired. Too much iron in the body is called hemochromatosis. This can lead to the following: -Discoloration of the skin. So try and balance your diet with just enough iron to keep your body healthy.

A school bus system in the Lancaster, Calif. area has a new solution for keeping track of kids on its special needs buses. According to EAGnews.org, the Antelope Valley Schools Transportation Agency is using biometric eye scanners to scan each student who enters and exits the bus. When a bus finishes its route, the scanner is programmed to alert the driver if any student hasn't been account for. The technology was implemented after an autistic student fell unconscious Sept. 11 and died after being left behind on the bus. Does the idea of an eye scanner creep you out a little? The president of IRITRACK, the security company that is implementing the IRITRANS technology, says the biometric eye scanners have “absolutely no identity security risks in the complete process.” According to the IRITRANS website, the technology also allows parents to track their special needs child's bus travel online via a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Do you think implementing this technology for special needs kids would be a good idea for your school district's buses?

As our population continues to age, the organization estimates that number will grow to 210,000 by 2025, which would be a 23.5 percent increase. Nationally, an estimated 5.2 million suffer from the disease. More women have Alzheimer’s disease than men -- by a ratio of approximately 2:1. Ultimately, Alzheimer’s is fatal, although some patients can have it for 20 years or more. In 2010, 1,878 New Jerseyans died as a result of Alzheimer’s.

Concentrating light asks us to do exactly that, buy placing a cardboard tube or cone around the flash in my case to focus the light into a smaller area in a single part of the scene. This is to be achieved making a card tube ‘snoot’ around the end of a flashgun to focus the light into a smaller area than normal. This exercise is unclear on the number of images so I have assumed 1-2 shots. Equipment used Nikon DSLR, 105mm lens, speedlight flash, card tube, white card as a reflector and light stand. Low flash and camera angle has created the appearance of a long narrow line of light isolating the subject. Much higher angle this time for both camera and light, with a very small aperture on the snoot to create a small point of light. Widening the snoot aperture this time and framed so only the foreground is illuminated. On all these shots there is a white card just out of shot reflecting some light back into the shadows of the model.

Postal service workers sell postal products and collect, sort, and deliver mail. Postal service clerks and mail sorters, processors, and processing machine operators work indoors, typically in a post office. Mail carriers mostly work outdoors, delivering mail. A high school diploma or equivalent is required to become a postal service worker. All applicants for these jobs must take a written exam. The median annual wage for postal service workers was $56,790 in May 2015. Overall employment of postal service workers is projected to decline 28 percent from 2014 to 2024. Automated sorting systems, cluster mailboxes, and tight budgets will adversely affect employment. Although the need to replace workers who retire will result in some job openings, very strong competition can be expected as the number of applicants typically exceeds the number of available positions. Explore resources for employment and wages by state and area for postal service workers. Compare the job duties, education, job growth, and pay of postal service workers with similar occupations. Learn more about postal service workers by visiting additional resources, including O*NET, a source on key characteristics of workers and occupations.

Medical Definition of Ileus, meconium Ileus, meconium: Obstruction of the intestine due to overly thick meconium, a dark, sticky substance that is normally present in the intestine at birth. Meconium is passed in the feces after birth, after trypsin and other enzymes from the pancreas have acted on it. Meconium ileus occurs when the infant has a deficiency of trypsin and other digestive enzymes from the pancreas, as in cystic fibrosis. Treatment is with enemas and can require surgical procedures.

We have received numerous reports concerning a bright fireball that occurred over Georgia at 5:33:55 PM CST (6:33:55 PM EST). All 6 NASA all sky meteor cameras in the Southeast picked up the meteor at an altitude of 50 miles above the town of Georgia (SE of Atlanta). From its brightness, it is estimated that this piece of an asteroid weighed at least 150 pounds and was over 16 inches in diameter. It entered the atmosphere at a steep angle and moved almost due south at a speed of 29,000 miles per hour. The NASA cameras tracked it to an altitude of 17 miles above the town of Locust Grove, where it had slowed to a speed of 9000 miles per hour, at which point the meteor ceased producing light by burning up. It is possible that fragments of this object survived to reach the ground as meteorites. A more detailed analysis will be performed tomorrow and further details will follow if this analysis still indicates the possibility of a meteorite fall. Ground track, still images from the cameras, and a movie from the NASA camera located in Cartersville, Georgia attached.

Subsidies for Fossil Fuels Far Outweigh Renewables A report of energy subsidies from 2002-2008 by the Environmental Law Institute shows that subsidies for traditional fossil fuels and corn ethanol totaled 87 Billion dollars. During the same period, subsidies for traditional renewable energy and carbon capture and storage were a paltry 14.5 billion. Although some would argue corn ethanol is renewable, it is not sustainable and uses nearly as much fossil fuel to produce as the energy that it creates. So it is essentially unsustainable. Green energy would benefit significantly by simply removing all subsidies. It would make the price of dirty energy more expensive than clean energy. Even a tea partier can like that.

Public Heath Advocates Seek to Ban Asbestos Public health advocates, led by the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization and the John McNamara Foundation, recently formed the Committee to Ban Asbestos in America. Asbestos kills more than 10,000 men, women, and children every year. The National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported mesothelioma deaths increased from 2004 to 2005 in “Health, United States, 2007.” Since first tracked in 1980, mesothelioma deaths have increased every year. “As recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in 1976, the only way to prevent asbestos-related diseases is to ban its use,” said Linda Reinstein, chair of the committee. “We are calling on the U.S. Congress and the President to do the right thing and ban asbestos in America and fund critical medical programs. Doctors and scientists agree: asbestos is a carcinogen and that there is no safe level of exposure. Preventing asbestos exposure is the only way to eliminate asbestos caused diseases.”

It saved the early Colonists from starvation, it has caused men to murder each other, it used to be our most democratic food—in short, an extraordinary bivalve Nobody was murdered or maimed, but nobody backed down for twenty years in the struggle over school integration in Prince Edward County, Virginia. Who finally won? A STUDY IN HISTORICAL SILENCES Sure that he was divinely appointed, Nat Turner led fellow slaves in a bloody attempt to overthrow their masters The idea goes back to the very beginnings of our national history. Then as now, it was built upon human relationships, and these—as Mr. Jefferson found to his sorrow—make a fragile foundation.

The Svyatoslav Family (Kiev, ca. 1000 AD) At the other end of Central Asia, Russian people, who were mostly farmers and not herdsmen in the Middle Ages, dressed more like their Byzantine neighbors to the south than like the Mongols. But it's cold enough in Russia that even very poor people had to own leggings and cloaks if all possible. Most women in Russia wore long woven wool tunics with long loose sleeves and belts at the waist. Women's clothing had to be loose enough to still wear it if you were pregnant, because women couldn't afford to have special maternity outfits. They covered their heads with veils like Islamic and European women. Men also wore wool tunics belted at the waist, but knee length and with tighter sleeves. Over their tunics, people wore wool cloaks to keep warm. But the men also wore caps, just like Mongol men further east and like the earlier Scythians. Kids - as you can see in the picture - dressed like small adults, so the little boy has on a knee-length tunic and a small cap with ear-flaps like his father.

The Oak Apple, actually known as an Oak Apple Gall is caused by a tiny gall wasp, Biorhiza pallida. It can be found between May and June on oak twigs where the female has laid her eggs in the leaf bud. Inside the gall there are a number of chambers, each housing a larva which eats its way out. Adults emerge in June and July. My hubby spotted this oak apple on a walk through the woods, a lucky find among all the autumn leaves. I found it quite fascinating how the gall is absolutely super-glued to the oak leaf. Photographing it was great fun.

Son of a Liverpool merchant, educated at Winchester and Balliol College, Oxford, Cardwell became a Conservative MP in 1841. He followed the Peelite free traders after the party split of 1846. In ministerial posts under Aberdeen and Palmerston, including colonial secretary, he stood out as an administrative reformer. Gladstone's secretary at war from 1868, he ended flogging in the army and undertook major reforms. Infantry regiments were given territorial designations and linked to reserves, short service was introduced, and the commander‐in‐chief's office was brought under clearer ministerial authority. The abolition of purchase of commissions was controversial; when the 1871 Army Regulation Bill was blocked by the Lords, the change was implemented by royal warrant. Subjects: British History.

Adult male Stripe-breasted Woodpecker Dendrocopos atratus. This species is locally common in wooded uplands in SE Asia. Females lack red on the crown. Photo taken at Chiang Dao, NW Thailand, November 2013, by Gerard Gorman. So how many species of woodpecker (the Picidae) are there on the planet today ? Well, first of all, that depends upon what we define as a species. The various taxonomic authorities differ on this issue, with some recognising certain taxa as species, others recognising the same taxa as sub-species (races). And what about those species that have not been seen alive in the wild for many decades ? Do we include those ? I have put a lot of thought into this question and considered many things as I prepared my forthcoming book: my figure is 239 species. The way things are in the taxonomic world, this figure may well change, increasing or decreasing, by the time a 2nd edition appears. GG.

Your probably thinking to yourself…what is dirty electricity and how is it harming me? Dirty electricity is a type of EMF that can cause your body harm, more harm than most low-level radiation. It’s real name is transient electricity but it is better known as “dirty” electricity. It is produced by modern and energy-efficient appliances: computers, televisions, refrigerators, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL), smart meters, and dimmer switches- these devices induce high levels of transients and harmonics back into the electrical system. This dirty electricity can cause electrohypersensitivity (EHS), headaches, increases in blood pressure, fatigue, irritability,sleepiness, dizziness, sweating, concentration difficulties, memory loss, depression, cardiac arrhythmias, and appetite loss. The best way you can protect yourself from this dirty electricity is to be conscious of the devices used in your home and how you use them. You can unplug unused appliances, unplug your television when it is not in use, and you can plug in Stetzerizer Filters.

The Bauhaus was first founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. The motivations behind the creation of the Bauhaus lay in the 19th century, in anxieties about the soullessness of manufacturing and its products, and in fears about art’s loss of purpose in society. Creativity and manufacturing were drifting apart, and the Bauhaus aimed to unite them once again, rejuvenating design for everyday life. It emphasis on practical skills, crafts and techniques that was more reminiscent of the medieval guild system. Fine art and craft were brought together with the goal of problem solving for a modern industrial society. It has led to the ‘fine arts’ being rethought as the ‘visual arts’.

Chemical engineer Valeska Ting reveals the significance of the zeroth law of thermodynamics. The first, second and third laws of thermodynamics get all the glory. They’re the most well known and frequently mentioned. But underpinning them all is a final law so fundamental that, although it was established last, had to be moved to the front of the list: the zeroth law. In the first film of our 2016 advent calendar, chemical engineer Valeska Ting explores the zeroth law of thermodynamics. The zeroth law is essentially an observation: if two systems are both in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are also in equilibrium with each other. This seemingly simple mantra is essential to our concept of temperature, as Valeska, armed with some very hot glasses, explains.

Help with cost for music education In certain circumstances, financial or other help may be available to support children and young people to access music making opportunities. If a school provides the opportunity for pupils to have music lessons in school during school time then: - children who are looked after by the local authority are entitled to free lessons - children who receive free school meals are entitled to remissions (funding from the school, partial or total) for these opportunities - other children whose situation might otherwise prevent them from accessing music lessons may get support from the Cambridgeshire Music Partnership Schools should publicise their remissions schemes for music lessons to support children in care or who are eligible for free school meals. Schools may also have additional support available for children identified as Gifted & Talented, or in other situations. What you can do If your child would like music lessons at school, contact the school's music department or music coordinator. You can apply to the Music Education Hub - Cambridgeshire Music Partnership - if you are not eligible for support from school or need help to access support for music activities outside of school. How we can help Find out more about the Cambridgeshire Music Hub (MUSH).

Literacy from Scratch is a response to the UK government’s initiative to develop computer programming skills in Primary School. It is a joint project between schools in London and in Prague. The project was developed by a group of postgraduate students from those cities – aided further by schools in the UK and the Czech Republic, as the students rose to this challenge. The site offers masses of resources: teaching videos, good ideas, cross curricular activities, completed examples and all sorts of projects to investigate further – maybe some examples that you can actually use in your lessons. This site also reports back on projects already created by the post graduate students and are ready for use in class. The resources are shared and able to be downloaded. There is also a commentary available about: what worked, what were the problems, how could they be overcome and how the resource could be used in the classroom? For anyone still wondering about computing and coding in the classroom, it is worth investigating. There are some lovely projects being uploaded which can be shared in the classroom.

The birth dates of our famous February presidents (the 12th and 22nd) have been easy for me to remember since I was a child. My grandfather shared the calendar date of his birth (Feb. 22) with George Washington, the emancipator of political freedom, but the year of his birth (1858) was closer to that of Abraham Lincoln, the emancipator of slaves. Adding to my intrigue with that era were my grandfather’s related childhood memories of marching around the house beating on a dishpan, pretending he was a soldier in the Civil War. William Wilberforce was another February-born emancipator. Born with poor health on Feb. 23, 1759 in England, Wilberforce finally became a member of Parliament and dedicated himself to ending the slave trade in Great Britain. His passion for emancipation grew out of his faith in Christ, whom he saw as the ultimate emancipator, and though his struggle to free slaves, ending this terrible trade, was long, Parliament officially ended slavery on the day of his funeral.

Could probiotics prevent childhood asthma? OK, that’s a leap, but it is one of the hypotheses researchers will test following the results of a new study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Studies show that babies who were NOT breastfed, who WERE born cesarean or who WERE given antibiotics in the first year of life are all more likely to develop childhood asthma. The common denominator is the lack of exposure to certain helpful bacteria that is present in breastmilk and in the vaginal canal. Researchers have now identified four types of helpful bacteria specifically linked to asthma. The hope is that the findings will enable researchers to develop a test—and possibly a cure—for childhood asthma. Read More Here: Scientists have linked the dearth of four types of gut bacteria to asthma, the respiratory disease that has risen explosively in the past 50 years and afflicts up to a fifth of children in Western countries.

a research expedition was canceled due to rising temperatures, to the Arctic Sea, where ice continues to melt, the effects of climate change are being felt around the globe. In the United States, temperatures are rising and coastlines are disappearing. One of the areas that has been affected the most is Louisiana, the coastline of which has been in danger for years. According to a new study reported on by the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the danger is greater than anyone realized. The Geological Society of America on Wednesday published a study by a team of Tulane University geologists that found Louisana's coastline is sinking 50 percent faster than was estimated two years ago. They discovered the coast is sinking at an average rate of 9 millimeters per year (with a margin of error of 1 millimeter). In some areas—including along the Mississippi River south of New Orleans—the rate is 12 millimeters per year.

In 1889 G.L. Gouy found that the "Brownian" movement was more rapid for smaller particles (we do not notice Brownian movement of cars, bricks, or people). In 1900 F.M. Exner undertook the first quantitative studies, measuring how the motion depended on temperature and particle size. The first good explanation of Brownian movement was advanced by Desaulx in 1877: "In my way of thinking the phenomenon is a result of thermal molecular motion in the liquid environment (of the particles)." This is indeed the case. A suspended particle is constantly and randomly bombarded from all sides by molecules of the liquid. If the particle is very small, the hits it takes from one side will be stronger than the bumps from other side, causing it to jump. These small random jumps are what make up Brownian motion. The first mathematical theory of Brownian motion was developed by Einstein in 1905. References: Encyclopedia Brittanica 1968, "Brownian Movement."

With Ararat in ViewMap Ethnographic Museum, ul. Traugutta 111/113 This particular exhibition at Wroclaw's Ethnographic Museum attempts to illustrate the history of Armenians in Poland since the fourteenth century. They first began to arrive on Polish regions as merchants, doctors, soldiers, artists, and diplomats, and began to make this country their own. This exhibition sheds light on the similarities of the two nations, with their location at the crossroads of trade routes and in a constant struggle for land against neighboring countries. Both Armenia and Poland share a strong Christian faith as well. "With Ararat In View" will display photographs and documents in a space arranged as the interior of an Armenian church.

During our studies in WRC we discover the octave structure of matter. WR teaches that our physical realm is unfolded from the inert gases and that those 9 gases sit one inside the other like Russian Dolls awaiting germination and unfolding. One researcher who experimented with this geometry developed the ‘Joecell’. I will leave you to dig deeper into that work. This experimental work was later developed by Moshe Daniels from Canada who developed a spherical joecell called a ‘Moejoe’. The components of the lower hemisphere is shown here. Again, I will leave you to investigate this work yourself. There is an obvious connection between the experimental results of these cells and the cymatic work carried out by Hans Jenny and Dr. Masaru Emoto. During my own work into WRC it seems reasonable to conclude the cube wave field acts as a vessel to contain a 3D standing wave which we perceive as solid form. What other vessel can you think of which is 70% water, polarised and has a noticeable current running through the cells ? Can we conceive the idea that water like the inert gases is completely mis-understood by MSS and provides us with a gateway/portal to harnessing Nature ?

Water on the Moon One of Independent India’s most notable contributions to modern space exploration occurred between 2008 and 2009, with Chandrayaan-1, the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) first dedicated lunar mission. ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) carried both ISRO and NASA instruments, of which the Indian ‘Moon Impact Probe’ first detected the presence of lunar water. This was achieved three months before NASA’s ‘Moon Mineralogy Mapper’ (also part of Chandrayaan-1) made the same breakthrough, to which the discovery of lunar water is often attributed. “We want to thank ISRO for making the discovery possible. The moon till now was thought to be a very dry surface with lot of rocks.” Jim Green, NASA Director.

How Rumiano Defines Grass Fed At Rumiano Cheese we are proud to say that our dairies go the extra mile for grass fed milk production. The mild Northwestern coast of California has prime weather for grazing and pasture time. Year round access to pastures and naturally growing coastal grasses are imperative to our definition of grass fed feeding. Open pasture time and natural grazing allows the cows to roam freely makes for high-quality milk. Haylage and silage are used for feed when the weather is too wet and cold for pasture time which is seldom. The grassfeeding methodology benefits the animals and consumers by helping produce healthy and humane dairy products.

Wednesday, November 9, 2016 The Class Lecture Today we will be talking about how a battery works when it is charging. Always have the charger unplugged when you are putting the batteries in and taking them out. When you plug in the charger it is transforming energy through the wires and into the accrual charger. When the energy is transferring through the wires it is called electrical energy. Then when you have the batteries in there the energy from the charger transports into the batteries. When it is in the batterie it is called stored chemical energy. Then you can use the batteries to charge things like flashlights, remote controls, and toys.

What’s a teacher’s favorite nation? Expla-nation. What’s a chalk board’s favorite drink? Hot chalk-olate. Why did the cross-eyed teacher lose her job? Because she couldn’t control her pupils. If you see an improperly lower-cased letter, you must capitalize on it. Why was school easier for cave people? Because there was no history to study. A general rule of grammar is that double negatives are a no-no. Our social studies teacher says that her globe means the world to her. There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils. The boy’s guitar teacher helped him pick up his skills. Teachers who take class attendance are absent-minded.

This activity makes a fun summative assessment or homework assignment during or after a unit on coordinate graphing as it allows students the opportunity to create their own coordinate graph picture and then list the coordinate pairs for each point. This activity promotes knowledge and understanding through creativity! Student directions and rubric are included and can easily be differentiated and modified by adding more or less coordinate points as a requirement. If you wanted to add onto this assignment you could require students to create a picture on a certain topic so there is a theme in all of the final products. You can also take this assignment one step further and make copies of the students work after they hand it in and have other students in the room follow the coordinate pairs listed to see if they create the same picture.

Studies were conducted to measure the effect of methicillin on the urinary excretion of mercury in rabbits poisoned for three months by mercury vapour. Simultaneously, studies were done to compare the quantity of eliminated mercury after treatment with methicillin or penicillamine (Cuprenil). The results show that the urinary excretion of mercury in animals treated with either drug was clearly greater than in untreated controls. Furthermore, the quantity of eliminated mercury after treatment with methicillin was significantly greater than after treatment with penicillamine.

Our curriculum on culture assists children in understanding the differences in various types of cultures. The goal of this curriculum is to teach cultural awareness and in doing so promote knowledge of self as well as tolerance of others. This year we hosted our first Countries & Cultures Day at St. Thomas. We invited our friends from Orange Presbyterian Weekday School and the junior kindergartners from Grymes Memorial School to join us on our travels. There were representatives from Canada, Norway, Denmark, Cambodia, Germany, China, France, and India. The students “traveled” to all of the countries, having their passports stamped as they made their way around the world.

The Rosetta spacecraft was launched in 2004 and arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 6, 2014, becoming the first probe to rendezvous with a comet. On November 12, Rosetta dropped its Philae lander to the comet’s surface — another first. But Philae bounced and didn’t grab onto the comet in its designated landing spot. After three days, the lander’s battery died and it went into hibernation. It woke up and briefly communicated with Rosetta in June and July 2015 as the comet came closer to the sun. Mission scientists weren’t sure exactly where the probe had ended up. Until now.

Sunday, January 11, 2015 Who Was Clara Barton? I had no idea, prior to reading this book, how many things Clara Barton accomplished in her lifetime. I remember learning about her as sort of a nurse, little more. You can still feel Clara's pain in these pages at the unfairness of equal pay she experienced through much of her lifetime. Her demands to be paid equal to a man, throughout her life, are inspiring. Who Was Clara Barton? by Stephanie Spinner (Author), David Groff (Illustrator) "Clarissa “Clara” Barton was a shy girl who grew up to become a teacher, nurse, and humanitarian. At a time when few women worked outside the home, she became the first woman to hold a government job, as a patent clerk in Washington, DC. In 1864, she was appointed “lady in charge” of the hospitals at the front lines of the Union Army, where she became known as the “Angel of the Battlefield.” Clara Barton built a career helping others. She went on to found the American Red Cross, one of her greatest accomplishments, and one of the most recognized organizations in the world."

Lesson 1 (from Pages 3 - 20) Pages 3 - 20 This scene is the perfect first scene, as it sets the stage for the rest of the book when we see some of the actions David does behind Norah's back that could possibly come back to haunt him and his family. The objective of this lesson will be to explore some of the possible foreshadowing that happens in this scene and to discuss some of the possible outcomes. 1) Prediction: Read aloud with the class the part where David sends his daughter away with Caroline, saying he wants to protect Norah from the pain of a sick child. Have the students each write a short prediction about what this statement could be foreshadowing. Do you believe this is a secret he will be able to keep? Why or why not? What evidence is there in the scene to support your belief? Allow some volunteers... This section contains 11,883 words (approx. 40 pages at 300 words per page)

Gardening Indoors with H.I.D. Lights, by George Van Patten, is a “how-to” book that unlocks the door to the world of gardening indoors under fluorescent and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. From the book: The benefits of artificial lighting are not exclusive to the professional gardener. Home hobbyists also reap the benefits of flexibility, control, and increased plant health. An otherwise unusable dark basement corner can be converted into a garden room with a small investment. In fact, you can set up an indoor garden area anywhere in your home provided that the air temperature remains between 65 and 75 degrees. Artificial lights can be used to highlight an already flourishing plant collection, or to promote growth in a new or struggling species. This book is about artificial light. Topics include: - General information about light and its relationship to plant health - Various sources of light, including sunlight and artificial light - Incandescent, tungsten halogen, and fluorescent bulbs - High intensity discharge (HID) lights and their horticultural applications
