A divinely commanded law in the Torah. In the singular it is mitzvah, in the plural mitzvot. According to the aggadah there are 613 mitzvot in the Torah, 248 positive mitzvot ("Thou shalt...!"), and 365 negative ("Thou shalt not...!"). There is a positive mitzvot for each bone in the human body -- according to the counting of Aristotle(*) -- to tell us that every limb of the body cries out, "Perform a mitzvah with me!". There is a negative mitzvah for every day in the year, to teach us that every day cries out, "Please do not sin on me!". (*) Modern anatomists identify more than this.

This flip chart is part of a 4th grade unit on verbs. It has all the parts of the gradual release model: I do, we do, and you do. The first page is a “hook” page to get the students interested. Then there is an “objective” page where students can read the objective of the lesson and go over vocabulary. Next is a teaching page where the teacher can show his/her students how to reach the objective. The students will then have time to practice whole group with slates or clickers. After the slate activity there is a page that can be printed out so that students can practice with a partner using accountable talk. The final page is the exit ticket which can be printed or used with clickers to make sure the students have reached the objective. This flip chart has a content and language objective with sentence stems for English Language Learners.

Let"tuce (?), n. [OE. letuce, prob. through Old French from some Late Latin derivative of L. lactuca lettuce, which, according to Varro, is fr. lac, lactis, milk, on account of the milky white juice which flows from it when it is cut: cf. F. laitue. Cf. Lacteal, Lactucic.] Bot. A composite plant of the genus Lactuca (L. sativa), the leaves of which are used as salad. Plants of this genus yield a milky juice, from which lactucarium is obtained. The commonest wild lettuce of the United States is L. Canadensis. Hare's lettuce, Lamb's lettuce. See under Hare, and Lamb. -- Lettuce opium. See Lactucarium. -- Sea lettuce, certain papery green seaweeds of the genus Ulva. © Webster 1913.

This is a very interesting video where Rick Wormeli, author of “Fair Isn’t Always Equal” talks about his views on what it really means to give a 0 if you use a 100 point scale. It adds an interesting dimension to the debate on zeros and that’s the motivation behind giving one. Is it done as a consequence? Or as a punishment? Is there a difference? If you haven’t a had a chance to read Rick’s book I highly suggest it. I’ll always remember seeing Rick in keynote for the first time when he said that Equal means everyone in the room gets a pair of shoes. Fair means that the shoes fit your feet.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained. A faint elongated cone of light sometimes seen in the night sky, extending from the horizon along the ecliptic. It is thought to be due to the reflection of sunlight from particles of ice and dust within the plane of the solar system. - ‘For photography, use a fast-speed film, as the zodiacal light is a fairly faint phenomenon.’ - ‘In dawn of October, this photograph shows you the rising Leo and the zodiacal light ascending from the eastern horizon.’ - ‘The zodiacal light will be visible for the next two weeks, until the moon returns to this part of the sky.’ - ‘Only hints of the zodiacal light are seen on the best spring and autumn nights.’ - ‘Again, don't bother to look for the zodiacal light or counterglow in the confines of a city or the suburbs.’ In this article we explore how to impress employers with a spot-on CV.

Our environment is now more toxic than ever due to advances in chemical manufacturing. In our quest to create "safer" and "prettier" goods, we have created many hazardous chemicals that leach into the environment in tremendous amounts every year. Aside from the carbon footprint and wildlife toxicity issues, we have also poisoned our own environment. Over 200 toxic chemicals can be identified in the placenta of newborns now and many of these chemicals are known carcinogens. I challenge you to go to scorecard.org right now to search for the top pollutants in your zip code. Detox programs and the idea of "toxins" has become a bit of a fad due to poorly designed diet based programs, but the toxicity of our environment, food, and water is no laughing matter. Since 1970, there has been a 50% decrease in biological diversity according to....

North Cascades National Park Service Complex spans the Cascade Crest from the temperate rainforest of the wet west-side to the dry ponderosa pine ecosystem of the east. The park encompasses landscapes with over 9,000 feet of vertical relief. There results a high diversity of plants, over 1,600 species so far identified, and many other organisms adapted to a wide spectrum of habitats. The relatively new mountains, glaciers and streams of North Cascades lie near a dynamic interface of tectonic plates and provide an opportunity to study geologic processes unfolding through time. Geologists and others seek answers to questions of global climate change, mountain building and erosion, volcanism, glaciation, stream dynamics, and more.

This module builds on students’ current knowledge to develop a deeper understanding of the Earth's internal structure and dynamics, and interactions between surface and deep processes. Evidence from a variety of geophysical techniques is evaluated, including the rapidly developing field of seismic tomography, which produces fuzzy images of thermal and compositional anomalies such as mantle plumes and subducted lithospheric plates. Students will read a variety of journal articles as a basis for discussion of current theories and controversies about how the Earth works. By completing this module, students will demonstrate a good understanding of the principles behind, and applications of, a variety of geophysical techniques in addition to an enhanced ability to compare, contrast and synthesise different types of evidence about how the Earth works. Students will also gain the necessary level of knowledge to be able to discuss and distinguish current theories and debates, such as the mantle plume controversy, and will learn to apply stereonets to determine earthquake focal mechanisms.

It is that time of the year when the invasive plant Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) is in flower usually along river banks. This is a good late source of nectar and pollen for bees although the plant is in the top ten invasive plants identified by the Environment Agency for containment and control. The flower deposits its white pollen on the bees which return to the hive with a distinctive white dusting. The honey from the nectar is said to be good. So good news for the bees is bad news for the environment and on balance the impact on other plants which would provide nectar and pollen at other times of the year means that beekeepers should play a part in controlling this plant.

The rate at which P. falciparum becomes resistant is still a very controversial subject, with many studies constantly being carried out. However, it seems resistance follows a normal Medelian pattern (Talisuna). Previous drugs used to treat Malaria include quinolines, one of which is chloroquine. Simply, these drugs worked by inhibiting the digestive vacuole of the parasite. Since quinolines were initial employed, P. falciparum has adapted to counteract the drugs negative affects (Francis). A specific gene has been determined to be connected to chloriquine resistance. The rate at which the resistance spreads in areas of high and low Malaria frequency is often disputed. One such study determined that areas of low transmission most likely incurred higher numbers of resistance due to increased use of drugs for treatment (Talisuna). The large number of enzymes and proteins, along with the complex life cycle of the parasite, offers many options for adaptations to vaccines.

Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter World War II changed forever the face and fate of the world's lands and peoples. This four volume set, narrated by Glenn Ford, relives some of the war's most important moments. The story is told through the remembrances of some well-known Americans, including Gerald Ford, Robert Dole, and William Manchester. This last episode chronicles the final battles of the war, culminating in the Allied invasion and occupation of Germany and Italy, the dropping of the first and second atomic bombs by America, and the subsequent unconditional surrender of Japan. The celebration of the Allied victory was sobered by the horrifying discovery of Hitler's death camps. Personal accounts are illustrated by archival news clips and photographs.

A clock is a mechanism that tells the time of day. It’s a period artifact, but no period heraldic examples of its use have been found. (Its earliest known use as a charge is in 17th C. armory.) The illustration is of the type known as a “chamber clock”, mid-16th C. [Ernest Edwardes, Weight-Driven Chamber Clocks of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, plates 18-19; cf. Amman 75]. There is also an example in Society armory of the “clockface”, with the hours (twelve by default) marked around the edge of a roundel. The use of the clockface alone is deemed a step from period practice. For related charges, see astrolabe, equatorium, sphere, sundial. John Gal of Freeston bears: Argent, a chamber clock azure faced argent. Lillian Taylor bears: Azure, on a round clockface argent numbered sable a lizard tergiant bendwise vert, all within a bordure argent ermined azure.

English has borrowed many of the following foreign expressions of parting, so you’ve probably encountered some of these ways to say goodbye in other languages. Many words formed by the addition of the suffix –ster are now obsolete - which ones are due a resurgence? As their breed names often attest, dogs are a truly international bunch. Let’s take a look at 12 different dog breed names and their backstories.

Relation also describes the link between people, groups or countries and the way they behave towards each other. In this sense there is very little difference between relations and relationship. For instance, we could also say: - Relations between (the leaders of) the two countries have never been closer. Most of the differences are context specific in this sense. For example, we talk about diplomatic relations and race relations, not diplomatic relationships or race relationships: - Diplomatic relations between the two countries were broken off over this incident and their ambassadors were - The need to improve race relations in Inner London boroughs is of paramount importance. Your relations are also members of your family: - I invited all my friends and relations to my twenty-first - Mark Totterdale and Simon Totterdale (no relation) are both head teachers in Bristol. Your blood relations are the people who are related to you by birth, not through marriage. If you say that they are your own flesh and blood, you are emphasizing that they are members of your own family: - He's my own flesh and blood. I can't leave him to fend for himself when he needs my help.

Symmetry (from Greek συμμετρεῖν symmetría "measure together") generally conveys two primary meanings. The first is an imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically pleasing proportionality and balance; such that it reflects beauty or perfection. The second meaning is a precise and well-defined concept of balance or "patterned self-similarity" that can be demonstrated or proved according to the rules of a formal system: by geometry, through physics or otherwise. Although the meanings are distinguishable in some contexts, both meanings of "symmetry" are related and discussed in parallel. The precise notions of symmetry have various measures and operational definitions. For example, symmetry may be observed - with respect to the passage of time; - as a spatial relationship; - through geometric transformations such as scaling, reflection, and rotation; - through other kinds of functional transformations; and - as an aspect of abstract objects, theoretic models, language, music and even knowledge itself. - Source: Wikipedia

The history of the solar system and local star cluster is outlined in the following episode of Cosmic Disclosure. Corey Goode and David Wilcock have discussed elements of this history before but heretofore have not presented an overview of that narrative. The early history of the solar system reaches back some two billion years, during the times of the Ancient Builder race. This group of highly advanced beings spread throughout the solar system, which early SSP explorers discovered as they ventured into the stars. These ruins, in most cases, were everywhere life could have existed, such as planets, moons, planetoids, and so on. >>> Read on ………….

‘The President’ doesn’t have a nickname for just any old reason. This giant sequoia, one of the largest trees in the world, stands 75.3m tall, 8.2m wide, measures 1,274.3 cubic metres in volume, and is an estimated 3,200 years old. And it’s never been completely photographed – until a tree-climbing scientist got involved. Behold, 32 days of work to take 126 individual photos, stitched together to create one amazing image. [This post first appeared on our sister site, Techly] Michael “Nick” Nichols worked on the image for National Geographic – with the tree representing 110 generations of human life.

In 1974, before the eyes of the world, northern Cyprus was occupied, ethnically cleansed and colonized by Turkey. In 1996, twenty-two years later, Tassos Isaac was beaten to death with sticks and poles by Turkish far right group the Grey Wolves during a demonstration in the UN buffer zone, as UN officials looked on. Three days later, following Isaac’s funeral, his cousin Solomos Solomou attempted to climb a flagpole to remove the Turkish flag in protest of the illegal occupation and was shot in the head 3 times by Turkish forces. Both men were unarmed. Remembering Tassos Isaac and Solomos Solomou: When Love for Freedom Confronts Occupation – Philos Project Ağustos 25, 2016

Plan of Salem The circa 1798 date for this town plan is suggested by the still-empty lot for Home Church, which was built in 1800. Dwellings, businesses, tradeshops, and roads are all clearly labeled. Lots 34, 35, and 36 comprise the early industrial complex that included the brewery, the tannery, and the slaughter house. This complex was intentionally placed on the outskirts of town as building regulations stated: In consideration of the whole picture of the Community, we have to see that the worst houses are not standing on the best lots. The same consideration has to be taken with all fire hazards , noisy, disease- or smell-spreading professions.

BELGRADE – Russian federal health and epidemic watchdog Rospotrebnadzor is warning of a flare up of bubonic plague in Madagascar, which could put tourists at risk. “According to experts, the outbreak of the disease is related to the active migration of wild rodents in connection with forest fires,” Rospotrebnadzor said in a Saturday statement, stressing that people planning their trips must keep that in mind. The watchdog warns that there is a high risk of the spread of the infection due to a high population density and the shortfalls of the healthcare system in Madagascar. According to Rospotrebnadzor, Madagascar health officials have informed the World Health Organization (WHO) that over 30 lethal bubonic plague cases have been registered among members of two communities in the southern parts of the island. In total, about 300-600 people could be currently infected with bubonic plague in Madagascar. The plague season in Madagascar usually starts in September and ends in March. In the past ten years, over 7,000 of human plague infections have been registered in the country.

As some of you might be well aware, search engine giant Google has been going through intensive development in creating autonomous cars, which are cars that DRIVE THEMSELVES! Google “driverless” cars, utilize the artificial intelligence from the input of video cameras inside the car, sensors on top of the car, as radar well and position sensors places on certain locations of the cars. This could be a way to imitate, or make an attempt at imitating human artificial intelligence. Lots of people see this as a gimmick or see it as an instant failure. However think of growing up and wanting to live like the Jetsons. That lifestyle is getting closer and closer to a reality Anyone excited to see where this will go? Google Car Image: www.autoblog.com

Jorge Luis Borges World Literature Analysis Borges is often included among writers described as postmodernists. Postmodernism, a literary movement whose influence has steadily increased since the middle of the twentieth century, is characterized by literature that meditates upon the processes of its own construction. Because of their inherent self-reflectiveness and circularity, Borges’s stories provide a good example of such “metafiction.” Borges is also known for his innovative literary techniques and an austere, polished craftsmanship. The avant-garde intellectuals of early twentieth century Argentina, including Borges, conceived of literary activity as intellectual play. In Borges’s “La lotería en Babilonia” (“The Babylon Lottery”), for... (The entire section is 3797 words.)

Please could you provide an overview of the main technological innovations over the last decade (e.g. websites, mobile phone apps, auditing tools) that have had the greatest impact on identifying and reducing corruption, particularly in middle income, low income and fragile states. New technologies have been used to facilitate the reporting of corruption and give access to official information. This can help to monitor the efficiency and integrity of social services and of a country’s political life, and make financial information more transparent. Information and communications technology can also support campaigning efforts and help mobilise people against corruption. Over the last decade, governments have launched an increasing number of e-government initiatives, many of which are presented in this Expert Answer. Wickberg, S. Technological innovations to identify and reduce corruption. U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre, CMI, Bergen, Norway (2013) 8 pp. [Expert Answer 376]

By: G Booch One of the most important recent developments in software engineering is the Unified Modelling Language (UML) standard for documenting software designs. Written by UML's inventors (the so-called Three Amigos of software engineering), The Unified Modelling Language User Guide provides a very appealing guide to all the fundamentals of using UML effectively. The book opens with a basic tour of the essential concepts and modelling diagrams used in UML, including class diagrams, use case diagrams and basic modelling principles. The authors pay close attention to modelling classes (and documenting the relationships between classes) as well as use case diagrams (which show how software will be used by various actors in a system). This book mixes in a little software engineering theory, too, but it makes use of clear examples and actual UML diagrams to illustrate key concepts. There are currently no reviews for this product.

Introduction to TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the oldest networking standard. TCP/IP is a set of protocols developed to allow cooperating computers to share resources across a network. TCP/IP is the most popular of network layer protocols. It was developed for the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Project Agency NETwork (ARPANET is one of the early packet switching networks), and now used on the Internet. Eventually ARPANET became what is now known as the Internet (Fitzgerald & Dennis, 1999). II. In The Beginning There Was The TC… - Essay on the life of Alan Turing and a discription of his life work.

Melissa says, "I think “Little House on the Prairie” still has meaning for kids because it teaches children the most important things we all strive for — community, family, love and home. And the other thing is that it shows them an authentic, specific time in American history and how kids lived then — walking to school, not having electricity and the way things were in the 1870s. And on that same token, a lot of the problems kids and people go through today are the same problems that existed in the 1800s. Things like bullying, drug addiction — and most of all, the stories are told in a really fun way." And you'll see personalized content just for you whenever you click the My Feed .

Modularity and decision making Robert Kurzban University of Pennsylvania & Chapman University Mechanisms that are useful are often specialized because of the efficiency gains that derive from specialization. This principle is in evidence in the domain of tools, artificial computational devices, and across the natural biological world. Some have argued that human decision making is similarly the result of a substantial number of functionally specialized, or “modular” systems, brought to bear on particular decision making tasks. Which system is recruited for a given decision making task depends on the cues available to the decision maker. A number of research programs have advanced using these ideas, but the approach remains controversial.

It’s difficult to capture a picture of what odour pollution looks like, but below are images of the Oceana fishmeal plant in production. Each time Oceana begins production, plumes of black, white or yellow smoke fill the air, an indication that the noxious odour pollution is about to come, and this continues intermittently during their processing period. Not only does the odour pollution negatively influence the lives of people in Hout Bay but we believe these emissions indicate the unsustainable and unhealthy practices at the Oceana plant. Oceana and the City of Cape Town claim there are no health impacts but its hard to believe this when you see the photos below. Do you think this is acceptable? If you have a photo you’d like to add to our gallery, please let us know here.

Preparation to play the game. In the project meeting of Turkey the attendants observed that it was necessary to include a tailored lesson and a presentation of each trail prior to play the game because the questions need an in-depth knowledge of each of the countries and its trails, sometimes unavailable in the different partner’s educational systems. The Polish lesson plan was used as classroom test by the Polish teachers in front of the students who attended the Polish project meeting. - The pupils described the main features of their national trail in a public presentation, performed in front of a large auditory and in a language different from their mother tongue in most of the cases. They analyzed different resources and composed their presentation using ICTs. This publication has been funded by the European Commission.

Articles treated with antibacterial agentsaf Lolo Heijkenskjöld Do we need antibacterial garbage bags? A wide range of antibacterial consumer articles can be found on the Internet. Mostly there is no information on the antibacterial agents used or on their efficacy. Does this relate to bacterial resistance to antibiotics? The release of antibacterial agents from these articles creates a constant low exposure for microorganisms.This may help accelerating the development of bacterial resistance. Important research is on-going. Can we know if an article contains antibacterial agents? New rules in EU legislation apply for treated articles. When implemented, information will be given if an article is treated for antibacterial effects and the claimed effects will be substantiated. An outline for a strategy to prevent unjustified antibacterial articles was elaborated at a Nordic workshop, initiated by the Swedish presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.

In this modern age we take for granted the common knowledge that many of the fruits and vegetables grown in our gardens contain vitamins and minerals that are essential to our good health. As a result, we rarely consider that there was a time when such knowledge didn't exist. And that men and women had to struggle mightily to pull back the veil of ignorance that hides the truth from our eyes. Today is the birthday of a man born in 1858, who found a direct connection between a vitamin deficiency and a disease. In doing so, he liberated humanity from the suffering caused by an ailment that most people have never heard of today, Beriberi. And he was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1929 for his achievement. So let's raise a glass to Christiaan Eijkman, whose discover of vitamin B1(Thiamine) has earned him a prominent place in medical history.

Darwin has been shaken by a magnitude 5.4 earthquake in Indonesia's Banda Sea, but a seismologist says people closer to the epicentre may not have felt a thing. Geoscience Australia duty seismologist Dan Connolly said the quake occurred about 7.35am (ACST) on Tuesday at a depth of 166km and about 600km north of Darwin. He said "about a dozen" people in the Darwin area reported to Geoscience Australia that they had felt the quake, some describing the quake as a rolling sensation or a "small but exciting little tremor". But Mr Connolly said its unlikely that anyone nearer the epicentre felt the quake. "There is a strange little phenomenon in this part of the world with a deep quake like this in the Banda Sea that it radiates towards Australia so they can be felt in Darwin but are hardly felt in the area where they occur," he said. Mr Connolly said there was no damage in Darwin and, given the region's geology and isolation, it was unlikely there would be any damage elsewhere. The nearest major population centre, Dili in Timor L'este, is more than 350km from the epicentre. © AAP 2017

Portrait of Herschel Grynszpan taken after his arrest by French authorities for the assassination of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath. Grynszpan (1921-1943?), born in Hannover, Germany, was the son of Polish Jews who had immigrated to Germany. In 1936 Grynszpan fled to Paris. On November 7, 1938, after having learned of the deportation of his parents from Germany to the Polish frontier, Grynszpan assassinated Ernst vom Rath, the third secretary of the German embassy in Paris. The diplomat's subsequent death two days later was used by the Nazi regime as justification for unleashing the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 9-10. In 1940 Grynszpan was turned over to the Germans by the Vichy government, but the date and place of his death have never been clarified. Paris, France, November 7, 1938.

Fri Jun 13 08:57:23 EDT 2014 "Lossless" is ambiguous: Transfer Function vs. Impedance There is a big difference between a lossless transfer function and a lossless electronic circuit as the "loss" refers to two different things: signal level vs. signal energy. A lossless transfer function needs to have a flat frequency response, i.e. it's an allpass filter a.k.a. phase shifter. A lossless circuit takes the form of a frequency dependent impedance, e.g. an LC low-pass filter between power switcher and load in a class What is confusing in the latter is that a lossless circuit is often used in combination with an ohmic load to create a freqency-dependent signal transfer function. There is obviously "loss" in the form of dissipation in the load, however there is no loss in the L and C apart

Ever wonder about not having enough air to breath? Whatever Gets you Through the Night on today’s Moment of Science. Suppose you get stuck in a tight space with another person. How do you ensure that you’ll have enough air to breath? Well, the rule of thumb is that if there’s enough space to stand and stretch out, you’re okay. The average body uses about 1100 gallons of air overnight, which is the amount enclosed in a room that’s six by five, and about six feet high. A body at rest uses a lot less oxygen than a body in motion. During the day, under normal conditions, you use about 3300 gallons of air, but when you exercise, you can require up to twenty gallons of air per minute. Stop to consider that airtight rooms are expensive and hard to come by. Even hospital isolation rooms aren’t airtight. Instead, they’re set up so the air pressure in them is lower than the air pressure in surrounding rooms; this is enough to prevent germs from spreading.

Palestinian Territories are located in Western Asia along the Jordan River, the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of West Bank and the Gaza strip. Land negotiations continue over Gaza, Jericho, and the West Bank. The recognized city capital of Palestinian Territories is East Jerusalem. The economy of Palestinian Territories mainly on agriculture, with fishing and livestock. The chief crops are olives, grains, vegetables, and citrus fruits. Most of the Palestine's exports include fruits, cooking oil, and vegetables and are exported to Israel. The major industries are cement manufacturing, food processing, manufacturing of toys, shoes and clothing. The most attractive spots in this country include Belameh Jenin, Hebron Souk, Hisham's Palace, Khan El- umdan, Deir Gharsaneh, Abraham Mosque, and Haram Ash-Sharif.

Thanks to students at North Carolina State University (my alma mater), looking like a tool may extend beyond the surly bonds of Earth. Their "Space Snuggie" concept could shield future astronauts from radiation. Officially called the "Lunar Texshield," this wearable blanket is made from a lightweight polymer material that has a layer of radiation shielding that deflects or absorbs harmful rays. The skin of the blanket also contains solar cells that help to generate electricity. If NASA wants to make a permanent base on the moon, the question of how to protect our astronauts from radiation for extended periods of time needs to be addressed. Fabric like this could be the answer—but the fate of the project won't be known until NASA and the National Institute of Aerospace RASC-AL competition concludes during a forum held from June 1st-3rd. Projects entered into the competition could wind up traveling with astronauts on future moon exploration missions. [Networkworld via Digg]

To redefine is to change a perception and set a new set of expectations. As park(ing) day seeks to question our use of urban space the point is to redefine what a parking spot is or could be. New Urbanism as a movement stresses among other things walkability, community, multi-use spaces, and greenery at the expense of the automobile. Redefinition could change the perception that parking areas are exclusively for cars. A big part of the urban landscape involves communicating to its inhabitants through signage. It is an learned skill in urbanites to navigate through their city. In many of the previous projects I saw, the message seems a bit muddled. As someone in class said, “It looked just like they were selling trees there” - instead of a reclamation of urban space for greenery and recreation, it came off as sloppy commerce. As tongue in cheek as it may be, this is a form of resistance. The automobile has won the war but pockets of resistance can spread and weaken the grip. Park(ing) Day is meant to spread the word and create more resistance and sympathizers.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained. - ‘I think the most difficult our rhythm will ever get is having a thirty-second note somewhere in there.’ - ‘It contains a recurring rhythm of sixteenth, dotted sixteenth and thirty-second notes that is difficult to discern.’ - ‘This section, as performed in the aria, is not a traditional cadenza, and the thirty-second notes, which are included exactly as noted in the original score, may disorient young flutists who tend to perform this figure as grace notes.’ - ‘Though marked pianissimo and dolce, Piano I intensifies the accompaniment of the bell effects by passing from quadruplet sixteenth to triplet sixteenth to octuplet thirty-second notes at a mezzopiano level before resuming the melody.’ - ‘This music was full of accidentals, thirty-second notes, dotted whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes, slurs, ties and key changes.’ Top tips for CV writingRead more In this article we explore how to impress employers with a spot-on CV.

The locomotive being much heavier (about 85 tons empty), was a different sort of problem. Eight solid 6x6 moly-steel beams were put through the locomotive frame, extending out on each side of the locomotive. A pair of 60 foot long bridge girders were bolted to the beams, one girder on each side of the locomotive. Steel cross timbers and braces were welded between the girders. The locomotive and girders were jacked up and two house moving dollies were placed under each end of the girders. Eight dollies in all were used. Each dolly has eight wheels, so the whole rig, locomotive, girders, and framing (weighing about 125 tons) was on 64 rubber-tired wheels spread over an area of about 20x75 feet. It took approximately 2 days to make up the rig. The work actually consumed about a week due to interruptions from the rain. The moving from the team track to the museum track, unloading and securing the locomotive in place took about 10 hours.

We May Find Out How The Universe Works On July 4 That’s the day scientists might announce the discovery of the “God particle.” On Wednesday at the CERN particle physics research centre near Geneva, two separate teams of “Higgs Hunters” — a term they profess to hate — may well announce they have spotted it. Or at least something that looks incredibly like it. “Think of it as a smoking duck,” says Oliver Buchmueller, a senior scientist on one of the teams, the CMS. “If it walks like a Higgs and it quacks like a Higgs, then we would have to at least consider the possibility that we have a prominent new member of the Boson family on our hands.” The Higgs Boson is a vital component of the “Standard Model” — the all-encompassing 30-year-old scientific theory of how the universe works at the simplest level. Without it, says U.S. physicist Matt Strassler, “nothing like human beings, or the earth we live on, could exist”Click here for reuse options! Copyright 2012 Liberaland

What is a Charter School? A charter school is a public school of choice designed to offer an innovative or alternative approach to education. Charter schools are established under a charter, authorized by a local school district or the Idaho Charter School Commission. The “charter” outlines the metrics a charter school is required to meet including its mission, educational approach, student achievement performance goals and financial accountability metrics. Charter schools are given greater flexibility in the operation of their schools, but unlike traditional public schools, they are assessed annually to determine if they are successfully meeting the requirements of their charter in order to ensure the continued operation of the school. Charter schools are governed by a Board of Directors which is responsible for the policy and financial oversight of the school. How are Charter Schools funded? Charter schools receive the same state and federal dollars that district schools receive. This funding is determined by Idaho Legislature. However, public charter schools do not receive any property tax, bond or levy funding. As a result of this most charter schools fundraise to make up the gap in funding.

In most branches of ChristianChristianity, the Trinity is an entity consisting of God (the Father), Jesus Christ (the Son), and the Holy Spirit. Sometimes called the "Triume Godhead," most Christians do not consider the Trinity to be a Pantheon, as you would find in many polytheistic religions, but as "three persons in one God." This allows Christians to claim that they follow a monotheistic religion, while in essence worshipping three gods. The composition and nature of the Trinity has been a major topic of disagreement and confusion among Christians since it was adopted at the Council of Nicea in 325 C.E. The Trinity is never mentioned by that name in the Bible. While God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all mentioned separately throughout the New Testament, there is only one passage which provides support for Trinitarian doctrine: 1 John 5:7-8 , which scholars call the Johannine Comma. Not all Christian denominations accept the doctrine of the Trinity.

What will happen to the force of gravity acting on the body by the Earth, if the body is lowered into a deep pit? If we put a body inside a sphere then, according the Gauss’s law for gravity, the gravitational force act on the body from the sphere will be equal zero. The gravitational force equal to the force with which the body of mass m is attracted to the part of the Earth with radius r and density ρ r is the distance from the body to the center of the Earth, In conclusion, the gravitational force decreases proportionally to r as we approach the center of the Earth.

A tablet is a combination of ingredients that are compressed into solid form. A tablet also has different requirements such as dissolution time, disintegration time, hardness, and volume. We have the ability to incorporate ingredients into a tablet formula and manipulate its characteristics by the addition of excipients such as fillers, binders, lubricants, and glidants. When tablets are not feasible, we can formulate and process powders to a specific granulation to be able to fulfill requirements. We cover the whole range of production solutions, from pilot runs which can be as few as several hundred to full production runs that can be many millions of tablets and can be run on a continuous basis. 1. Tablet and tooling design: Determine tablet characteristics, such as tablet weight and size. Design tooling in relationship to the physical characteristics of the tablet. Determine optimum amounts of active ingredients and additives necessary for manufacture. Implement design and formulation for the production of the final tablet with the emphasis in quality. Record and follow GMP’s to insure the quality of the process

Deinstitutionalisation and Community Living Author: David Towell Under the title ‘Living independently and being included in the community’, Article 19 of the United Nations Convention On The Rights Of Persons with Disabilities states clearly the obligation on governments to: recognise the equal right of all persons with disabilities to live in the community, with choices equal to others, and take effective and appropriate measures to facilitate full enjoyment by persons with disabilities of this right and their full inclusion and participation in the community As part of its global campaign to advance implementation of this Article for people with intellectual disabilities, Inclusion International hosted two days of consultations with representatives of its members in economically-advanced countries at the end of May 2012 in Brussels. This paper is based on notes from these meetings. It explores the progress made in advancing community living over the last generation and contemporary challenges in delivering the promise of Article 19.

The goal of quality and reliability assurance (QA) is the continuous improvement of reliability, performance, efficiency, and ease-of-use of a product or service in order to render it more cost-effective and beneficial for the customer or user. A key part of QA is quality control (QC) – the acquisition and analysis of quantitative observations made during the process of production for a product or of implementation for a service. QC allows a process to be continuously monitored and maintained to meet the desired specifications (stable process in statistical control) or ultimately rapidly diagnosed and remedied if problems arise and the results deviate from those expected. Each production process and product has its own unique attributes and may require specific methods of observation for the carrying out of QC. Generally, the production of electronic, microelectronic, and mechanical devices, as well as materials and compounds, require QC measurements using a technique involving microscopic analysis, often optical microscopy.

In this lecture, Professor Cumming will define the idea of “expertise” and then describe its potential for students and teachersinvolved in writing in such languages as English. Most education aims simply to develop competence in second-language writing through relevant declarative, procedural, and tacit knowledge. That is important. But a focus on expertise promotes additional abilities, processes, and motivating conditions: self-regulation and flexibility, intentionality to maximize learning opportunities, pattern recognition of promisingness for long-term goals, satisfaction and excitement in performance and accomplishment, collaboration with others, and subcultures that learn from, contribute to, and recognize the value of others. Professor Cumming will recommend ways in which these aspects of expertise can be fostered in students and in teachers of second-language writing.

Initially you computer performs at its maximum speed when you install a new operating system. But as time progresses and you install more and more applications the computer slows down due to the various changes in configuration and other settings. So you have to tune up your PC regularly to maintain its performance. Alternatively you can also increase the memory or use a better processor. But even then if you don't optimize your operating system you will face the problem once again. So go to the run tool and type 'msconfig' and hit enter. This brings up the System Configuration utility. This contains the processes that are installed on your computer and other programs which start after the computer boots. Disable unnecessary processes and programs you don't use to fasten up your computer. This video shows how to make your computer faster using the msconfig.

Slow sand filters (SSF) are a water treatment method that use sand on which microorganisms grow. These microorganisms are capable of degrading biological and chemical pollutants in runoff water, including Phytophthora and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The disadvantage of SSFs is that slow flow rate of water through the sand is needed to attain treatment. A rule of thumb is one square foot of sand bed can treat about 0.06 gallons (0.2 liters) per minute. A large sand filter is needed to treat large volumes of water. More information is available in this video. You may be interested in these other associated items:

The incredibly toxic venom of the geographic cone snail has to be strong enough to paralyse instantly. Otherwise, the fish it preys on would swim away to die, and the slow-moving gastropod would have nothing for its efforts. Indigenous to the reefs of the Indo-Pacific, geographic cones grow to about 6 inches (15 centimetres) in length and have intricately patterned brown-and-white shells highly prized by shell collectors. Size: 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm) Did you know? The geographic cone is nicknamed the "cigarette snail," a humorous exaggeration meaning a person stung by one would have enough time to smoke a cigarette before dying.

Sendes vanligvis innen 5-15 dager Have you ever wondered how computers can make so much happen? How do they perform calculations, show movies and run amazing games? These are all examples of computer programs or applications (often known simply as apps). Coding Club is a unique new series of coding books that will guide young programmers to create their own versions of familiar games and challenge them to adapt and experiment with programs. With clear explanation and step-by-step layout, the series starts right at the beginning and works its way up over four flexible levels. The skills required for each level are introduced in the core books and the additional books at each level give young programmers the chance to develop and practice those skills in an area of their interest.

- Adoption Activity Days are a worthwhile intervention in seeking adoption placements for children, especially those whose needs are more complex - The preparation of each child is essential as is joint discussion and planning with the child's foster carer - There should be an individual risk assessment of the likely impact of the event on each child with plan to support them on the day and afterwards, jointly agreed by the child's social worker and foster carer - The existing format with some minor changes to timing and reception is a good working model - The amount of forward planning and planning on the day is essential and needs to retained - There could be variation in the activities, the introduction of a quiet area would be valuable especially for young children - The plan for a 'wind down' at the end was appropriate instead of a story a singing or music time might meet the needs of all children and could enable the adults to join in - Both foster carers should be able to come.

Like it or not, the president of the United States embodies America itself. The individual inhabiting the White House has become the preeminent symbol of who we are and what we represent as a nation and a people. In a fundamental sense, he is us. It was not always so. Millard Fillmore, the 13th president (1850–1853), presided over but did not personify the American republic. He was merely the federal chief executive. Contemporary observers did not refer to his term in office as the Age of Fillmore. With occasional exceptions, Abraham Lincoln in particular, much the same could be said of Fillmore’s successors. They brought to office low expectations, which they rarely exceeded. So when Chester A. Arthur (1881–1885) or William Howard Taft (1909–1913) left the White House, there was no rush to immortalize them by erecting gaudy shrines—now known as “presidential libraries”—to the glory of their presidencies. In those distant days, ex-presidents went back home or somewhere else where they could find work.

Definition - What does Data Visualization mean? Data visualization is the process of displaying data/information in graphical charts, figures and bars. It is used as means to deliver visual reporting to users for the performance, operations or general statistics of an application, network, hardware or virtually any IT asset. Techopedia explains Data Visualization Data visualization is typically achieved by extracting data from the underlying IT system. This data is generally in the form of numbers, statistics and overall activity. The data is processed using data visualization software and is displayed on the system's dashboard. It is generally done to assist IT administrators in getting quick, visual and easy-to-understand insight into the performance of the underlying system. Most IT performance monitoring applications use data visualization techniques to provide statistical insight of performance of the monitored system.

(AP) - Communities in several upstate New York towns plan to ring bells to mark the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. Historians in neighboring Genesee and Livingston counties in rural western New York hope to have scores of schools, churches, courthouses and other government buildings ring bells for two minutes at 10 a.m. Tuesday to commemorate the beginning of the four-year war. Bells will also be rung across Rensselaer County, where a re-enactment group will hold a ceremonial cannon firing at noon. In Brooklyn, the Culinary Historians of New York plan to mark the 150th anniversary with a lecture: "Starving the South: How the North Won the Civil War." New York state contributed the most men during the Civil War and suffered the most casualties, with more than 53,000 killed out of the 500,000 from New York who served.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Two equally charged 1g masses repel each other. The lower mass is held fixed. a)What is the charge on each mass for the Coulomb force to balance the gravitational force of the Earth on the upper mass? b)How many elecetrons does this rep? 2. Relevant equations F=Gm1m2/r2, where G=6.67x10-11 F=Kq1q2/r2, where K=9x109 3. The attempt at a solution I know to find the charge on each mass we first use the gravitational equation and then use Coulombs law equation to find out the charge on each mass: F=Gm1m2/r2 =(6.67x10-11)(1)(1)/r2 I'm pretty sure this is right but I'm just confused what r is. Could it be 5.0x10-11 which is the distance between an electron and proton? b)This is simple. When you find out the coulomb charge, you use 1Coulomb=6.25x1018 electron charge.

The term Banana Republic was first recorded in “The Admiral”, a short story from O’Henry’s 1904 collection Cabbages and Kings. This is how the description went – “…In the constitution of this small, maritime Banana Republic was a forgotten section that provided for the maintenance of a navy. This provision—with many other wiser ones—had lain inert since the establishment of the Banana Republic. Anchuria had no navy and had no use for one. It was characteristic of Don Sabas…” In short, Banana Republic is a term used to refer a politically unstable country whose economy is dependent on exporting a limited-resource product (banana).

These days, children are at a higher risk than ever of developing obesity thanks to unhealthy habits like being over-sedentary, eating too much junk food, and making themselves slaves to the TV and video games. Phil Hodgkins, currently working on his PhD in sports technology at Loughborough University, has collaborated with Playdale in creating the i.play intelligent play system. It's an interactive playground that integrates physical activity with challenging single or group games to encourage healthy and intelligent exercise behaviors in kids. The structure is outfitted with switches that light up and sound off to signify which switch needs to be pushed, pulled, pressed, spinned, turned, or stamped. Players can upload and keep track of their scores as well as check out how they're measuring up to their peers.

Nona, an infant gorilla, was found as a tiny baby in a hunting camp after witnessing her family being killed in a village in the east of Cameroon. Often adult gorillas are killed for bushmeat in Africa and the young gorillas are left orphaned, like Nona. A logging operation contacted Ape Action Africa after rescuing this young gorilla. Officials of the organization found Nona emaciated and wounded by a bullet. After the nine-hour drive back to the sanctuary, the rescue crew began intensive medical treatment. It was a difficult and long case of rehabilitation but eventually Nona was successfully introduced to a family of 10 gorillas. Nona is one of the youngest of her family group and is very social and a favorite among gorillas and staff. She is a very vocal gorilla who absolutely loves mangoes and breaks into gorilla singing anytime she is given them. Organizations like Pan African Sanctuary Alliance aim to aid ailing gorillas and shed light on the harsh realities of the bushmeat trade, habitat destruction , deforestation and other things that diminish wild gorilla popilations. PASA is the only network of wildlife sanctuaries working across Africa to empower local people to protect chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and monkeys.

Primary Advisor/Dissertation Chair Secondary Advisor/Reader One The research question addressed in this project is: How can reciprocal teaching be used to increase comprehension skills with fluent readers in the primary grades? Reading comprehension has been highlighted as a problem among students. While many students can read the words, they lack the proper strategies in order to comprehend the text. This capstone provides current research on fluency and comprehension instruction including the connection between the two. Additionally, research on reciprocal teaching is examined. It will discuss how to incorporate this strategy into classroom instruction to increase comprehension. Included in this capstone is a reciprocal teaching curriculum to be used with third graders. This unit consists of 15 lessons aligned with social studies standards to be used during the literacy block O'Malley, Nora, "Reciprocal Teaching: Improving Students Reading Comprehension" (2017).

Creative activity and making a compass will help you navigate when you’re next out exploring. One of the 'Cub Year Of Adventure 2015' activities Sewing needle, plastic bottle top, small magnet, clear sticky tape, small shallow dish, water, knife. 1. Each Cub magnetises the needle by stroking the needle with one end of the magnet roughly 40 times from top to bottom. 2. Once the needle has been magnetised, ask the Cubs to attach the needle using the clear sticky tape to the bottle cap (cap facing upwards). 3. Float the bottle cap in a dish of water. The water will allow the bottle cap to rotate. Let it rotate until the north pole of the needle points towards the magnetic north pole. 4. And there you have it, they have created a compass! 5. Ask the Cubs to test their compass with a manufactured compass and see if there are any discrepancies.

As the brain attempts to organize the visual world, it hones in on familiar patterns -- like the shape of a human face -- and sometimes, it even concocts these patterns out of random noise. We spot faces in all sorts of inanimate objects, from grilled cheese to buildings to coffee makers. Some objects are even designed with the human face in mind, at times to a creepy degree, as artist Robby Kraft found. Kraft used face-detection tech from Kyle McDonald (on GitHub) to overlay about 67 images of human faces found in the #selfie tag on Instagram; these created an "average" human face after about 15 images (above, left). He ran about 125 inanimate objects tagged #FacesInThings through the same software and, again after just 15 images, an eerily "average" human face emerged from the compilation (above, right).

British and German scientists have discovered a way to potentially restore colour to hair that has turned white due to illness. Certain skin disorders cause patients to lose their hair, and it can be white when it grows back. This can be distressing, but researchers at the University of Manchester and Germany's Lubeck University have now found that they were able to stimulate the pigment responsible for hair colour. They hope that the technique will prove successful in tests on humans and be used in the future to restore hair to its original colour. Nina Goad, a spokeswoman for the British Association of Dermatologists, commented: 'It's important to note that this is laboratory research and not yet ready for use on patients. 'However, while the research is still at a very early stage, these findings could potentially pave the way for new therapies that restore colour to white hair.' One disease that could benefit from the new technique is alopecia, which causes people to lose patches of hair. © Adfero Ltd

Bronze rooster found in Roman child’s grave Published on December 19th, 2011 | by Admin2 It is thought the bronze cockerel, which is 12.5cm high, could have been a message to the gods. Archaeologist Neil Holbrook said it was a “most spectacular” find. The elaborately-decorated cockerel is believed to be Roman, probably dating back to the 2nd Century AD. According to experts, religious significance was given to the cockerel by the Romans and the artistic subject is known to be connected with Mercury, the messenger to the gods.

Aristotle's beliefs still hold relevance in today's conceptions of citizenship. Aristotle writes that prior to inquiring about the attributes and essences of government a person must find an answer to the question "What is a state" (Book 3, chapter 1, 1275a). In Politics (1252-3), Aristotle states his belief that humans came together out of a common need, thus the formation of cities and city-states. Cities served as a means to better control the residents within a given country or empire; the city still served as the most effective point of contact between the people who ruled and those they ruled over (Freeman, 1999). With this thought in mind, a city would seem to run much more effectively while under the administration of one leader--so perhaps a civilisation could too. It is evident, therefore, that we must begin by asking, who is the citizen, and what is the meaning of the term For here again there may be a difference of opinion. ...Show more

The chapter reminds me of the beginning of the semester when we practiced design using letterforms and keyforms. Scaling an object could show its dimensions or thickness. We also could scale by cropping out an image and make an object more stand out. A logo design might be hard since it should “be legible at a tiny size and from a great distance.” In objectively, scale is related to the literal dimensions of a physical object, such as a map. In subjectively, scale refers to people’s impression of an object’s size or a real thing. How people feel could vary depending on scale. For example, looking at 12pt type on a computer screen sometimes provides different feeling when we print out the text. For me, I always feel printed text looks bigger.

Camera traps in Thailand During the camera trapping exercise, 48 traps were set in three different habitat zones that were chosen based on a preliminary study of prey density conducted by the team. This study showed that the large prey that would be most likely to support a tiger population such as gaur, have been all but eliminated from Kuiburi due to hunting and poaching. Nevertheless, certain areas of the park supported a number of smaller prey species, such as deer, making those areas more likely to contain a remnant tiger population. Although heavy and unseasonable rain damaged many of the cameras, the team managed to successfully capture images of one tiger, as well as numerous other threatened and endangered species including: Asiatic black bear, dhole, Fea's muntjac, gaur, leopard, sun bear, and a rare bird species - the crested fireback

Today is the anniversary of the birth of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR was the first practitioner of a politics of hope. Unlike his current successor, FDR followed hope with action putting people to work, building the public infrastructure, starting pensions for the aged under Social Security, bringing electric power to farms and rural communities, regulating Wall Street, stabilizing farm production, and implementing conservation measures. Later on, he led the Nation and its Allies to defeat Japanese militarists in the Pacific and Nazi fiends in Europe. My grandfathers found work on WPA projects and my father and father-in-law were able to help support their families by working in CCC camps. The model of what we should be able to expect in a Democratic President was set by President Roosevelt and every succeeding White House occupant may be judged by his standard.

Tennis elbow (or traumatic epicondylitis) - a condition in which the bone growth on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle) causes severe pain. Tennis elbow is, of course, not only in tennis players. This trauma can also be caused by other sports, such as golf, as well as work in the garden, some types of construction (eg masonry work), work with scissors or swimming. Causes of traumatic epicondylitis This injury is always associated with excessive load. Lack of proper treatment can lead to progressive deterioration. Symptoms of tennis elbow From the outside elbow felt a strong pain that may spread into the region of the forearm or wrist. Pain may also be felt when pulling the wrist (ie, the motion of the back of the hand to the forearm). What you can do? At the initial stage of treatment is to cool the patient's room (with ice packs), rest and taking anti-inflammatory drugs. For more severe pain, seek medical advice. What can a doctor? Your doctor may recommend physical therapy, a course of anti-inflammatory drugs and special exercises to strengthen and stretch muscles of the forearm. In severe permanent pain you may be offered steroid injections or surgery.

In January 1862 Lincoln appointed Edwin Stanton Secretary of War. Everyone, including Stanton, was astonished at his appointment. After all, Stanton had repeatedly vilified this “imbecilic” President, this “original gorilla” [Darwin’s 'Origin of Species' had just been published in 1859]. Lincoln knew all this, of course, but had put that aside. He never carried a grudge, he said later, because it didn't pay. Stanton was a Union man through and through, he was a prodigious worker and he was a wizard as an administrator - and those skills impelled Lincoln to promote him. With time it was clear the appointment was a stroke of genius.

The first ternary computer was built at Moscow State University . Between 1956 about 50 Setun computers were built, having been named after a river near the campus by designers Nikolai P. Brusentsov Setun was an 18-trit machine, allowing work on numbers up to 387,420,489; this is the equivalent of a 29-bit machine. Unfortunately, Setun used two magnetic cores wired together such that they would have only three stable states; this hardware inefficiency did not take advantage of the base 3 radix economy. A binary computer would have been able to use the same cores to build a 36-bit computer.

South African pine growing areas, the plantations are managed under various silviculture treatments to produce numerous products. The diversity in stocking, rotation age, species, thinning regimes etc. creates a mosaic pattern. Within this mosaic pattern there is a need to establish trap trees to monitor the presence of Sirex noctilio. Trap trees are created by applying herbicide to 13 to 20-year-old trees, six weeks before the S.noctilio peak emergence period. Older trees will die slower and younger trees will die quicker, which complicates the management of trap trees as some trees will be too wet and others too dry during the optimum time for inoculation of Deladenus siricidicola. Therefore, it has become necessary to standardize the establishment of trap trees in compartments of uniform age, species, risk rating and thinning status, to achieve effective results.

The salt industry This page is available here: http://www.saltinstitute.org/3.html Humans need salt to live. Prehistoric man obtained salt from the meat of hunted animals. When man developed agriculture, salt was added to supplement the vegetable and cereal diet and the quest for salt became a primary motivation in history. In the mid-1800s, salt's value as an important raw material for the chemical industry was established when the Solvay process in Belgium converted salt to synthetic soda ash. Salt is, today, the largest mineral feedstock consumed by the world chemical industry. A summary of a 1997 book, The Economics of Salt, is available online.

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. May 18, 1996 The Sun Today Credit: Space Environment Center, NOAA Explanation: Our Sun shows a different face every day. The above picture was taken on May 15, but a similar picture of the Sun actually taken today can be found here. The above picture was taken in red light and so is shown in red. The bright spots to the right of center are active regions known as plages. Currently, the Sun is showing very few active regions or sunspots, and is considered to be in a solar minimum. Solar activity will pick up over the next six years until a "solar maximum" is reached. The Sun goes through this cycle of maxima and minima every 11 years. Sol, our Sun, is hundreds of times more massive than all the planets in the Solar System combined. However, the Sun itself contains only a small amount of the total angular momentum of the Solar System. Authors & editors: NASA Technical Rep.: Sherri Calvo. Specific rights apply.

The disease of infertility is more than a condition resulting in emotional disappointment. There is a serious global impact associated with fertility decline. Utilizing studies can help educate others about infertility and clarify common misconceptions. - Infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples. - The CDC says 12% of women experience infertility. (Source:American Society of Reproductive Medicine and Center of Disease Control) - The UN World Fertility Report found, in 59 countries, fertility is below 2.1 children per woman, the level required to ensure replacement of generations in low mortality populations. Governments reported having policies designed to raise fertility. (Source: UN World Fertility Report 2007) - The American Medical Association has recognized infertility as a disease. - The World Health Organization (WHO) has indicated, besides cancer and heart conditions, infertility is currently the third most threatening disease all around the globe. (Source: WHO Bulletin 2010) Fertility Within Reach’s PowerPoint: Economic and Global Impact of Fertility Decline

Tuesday, February 15, 2011 The Klingon Language The Klingon language (tlhIngan Hol, in Klingon) is the language spoken by the warring culture known as the Klingons, who inhabit the virtual realm of the Star Trek universe. Unlike most languages, which evolve over time by a developing culture, Klingon was intentionally designed by Planet Earth linguist Marc Okrand. Based heavily on Star Trek/Klingon-related concepts which evolve around spacecraft and warfare, the Klingon language is understandably awkward for everyday use by non-Klingons. (For instance, while there is a term for the bridge of a ship (meH) there is no word for a bridge that crosses water.) Purposefully constructed to sound "alien,” Klingon has a number of typologically uncommon linguistic features. But, while it was Okrand who succeeded in developing the Klingon language into a fully-functioning, grammatically complete language, the language’s basic sound, along with the first few words, was created by Enterprise Chief Engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott (James Doohan) for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Add software to Raspberry Pi To add software to a linux machine you can download source files of code, compile them and install the software. You can also access binary files (exe files on MS Windows are binaries). These files have been compiled by someone else for users to install. To compile software for a pi, you must compile the software for the particular processor that a pi has. This is an Arm processor. A lot of binary software people download from the Internet is for Intel processors, not Arm ones. Luckily there is an alternative to compiling your own software. Software on most linux platforms is maintained via a "repository".

At this point we must introduce the concept of bulk or profile models (the latter are also called diffusive or differential), depending on whether the above equations are vertically integrated through the layer, or left in their differential form (as above). Bulk models always presuppose the existence of a mixed layer and consider the changes of its momentum and heat content due to entrainment of heat and momentum at the surface and at the bottom of the mixed-layer. Examples of bulk models are the Niiler Model [47,7], and the Garwood model . The profile-type model considered here is the Mellor--Yamada model with various degrees of turbulence closure, known as the ``Level 2, 2.5, etc.'' model. For a thorough examination and comparison of several models of each type the reader is referred to the work of Martin and Kantha and Clayson , who used meteorological data and hydrography at several locations around the globe to assess the performance of each model.
