Fort Greene Park The highest point in Fort Greene is a 30-acre park from which the area takes its name. Fort Greene Park was built on the site of the early Fort Putnam in the War of Independence. It was later called Fort Washington, ultimately renamed after Gen. Nathaniel Greene, one of George Washington’s key aides. The grounds were designed in 1867 by Olmsted and Vaux, who also created Central and Prospect Parks. In 1908 a Doric column Martyrs Monument was dedicated to the approximately 11,500 patriots dwho perished on the infamous Prison Ships which consisted of decommissioned and often derelict ships which were used to house prisoners of war during the Revolutionary War in the 1770s. Many of the POWs died of illness and starvation in horrid, overcrowded conditions aboard these British prison ships in Wallabout Bay. The most notorious ship was The Jersey. Their remains are in a crypt below the monument. In 2008, after an extensive renovation the Prison Ship Martyrs Memorial was rededicated with a grand celebration.

Drugs applied three hours after infection could protect female monkeys from a type of HIV, US scientists said. The findings, published in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new ways to fight HIV, which is continuing to spread globally. Experts say large clinical trials would be needed to test any new treatment, and condoms remain the best defence. Vaginal gels containing HIV medicines have had mixed success in human clinical trials. In the latest research, a US team took a different approach, testing a new HIV treatment in monkeys that has the potential to work after HIV exposure. They found the gel protected five out of six monkeys from an animal-human laboratory strain of HIV when applied shortly before or three hours after infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, which led the study, say it is a "proof of concept" in an animal model. Dr Charles Dobard, of the division of HIV/Aids prevention, told BBC News: "It's a promising after-sex vaginal gel to prevent HIV infection. "Studies still need to be done to look at the window [of opportunity] - is it six, eight, 24 hours?" Read the full article here:BBC News

Mobile Bone Densitometry Equipment Cary Medical Center in Caribou and Northern Maine Medical Center in Fort Kent have joined forces to bring advanced bone densitometry technology to central and northern Aroostook County. The two hospitals jointly purchased mobile bone densitometry equipment that can detect bone loss caused by osteoporosis, a bone weakening disease that affects more than 25 million Americans, 80% of whom are women. The densitometry unit emits x-rays that are absorbed by the bones; the rate of absorption is measured by computers that determine the strength of the bone tissue. Patients with weaker bones are more susceptible to fractures and complications from falls and accidents. The bone densitometry exam takes only a few minutes and does not involve any injections or invasive procedures.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 2014 unemployment rate was 5.9 percent. But for people with disabilities it was more than double that, at 12.5 percent. A recent study highlights one reason why many people with disabilities have trouble finding work. Researchers at Syracuse and Rutgers Universities found that employers were significantly less likely to express interest in job applicants with disabilities than in those without disabilities. In a National Bureau of Economic Research paper titled "The Disability Employment Puzzle: Field Experiment on Employer Hiring Behavior," researchers sent cover letters and resumes by fictitious applicants to thousands of accounting firms. They discovered that employers expressed interest in candidates who disclosed disabilities 26 percent less often than candidates without disabilities. The researchers said they weren't surprised that employers were less likely to be interested in applicants with disabilities. But they were surprised by how large the effect was.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

The fifth edition of this British textbook seems a shade less excellent than the fourth, despite having the expected new material on genetics and molecular biology. I have approached reviewing the book by concentrating both on sections where I am knowledgeable and current and on those where I have only cursory knowledge. I found the physiology and diagnostic sections to be first rate, if occasionally couched in rather dense language. An exception was the section on rickets and metabolic bone disease, which was in the chapter on bones, joints, and connective tissue and also briefly in the chapter on nutrition. Here the discussion was barely adequate and the treatment recommendations for metabolic bone disease were almost 40 years out-of-date. For most conditions, treatment is not given much space and often will not be helpful to the reader. Forfar and Arneil's Textbook of Pediatrics.

We know that numbers are important in the natural world and particularly in understanding the natural world through science. From the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg we learn that numbers are important in a spiritual sense as well. From beginning to end, the Word (Bible) is filled with numbers, and one of its books is so named. Swedenborg explains the significance of these numbers in many of his works. In the Apocalypse Explained (§ 336) he says that numbers or measures denote the quantity of a thing in the natural sense and the quality of a thing in the spiritual sense. He also refers to the fact that numbers are used as a kind of language in the spiritual world, with each idea represented by a unique number, in a way that only those in the same heaven can understand (HH § 263; AC § 4495).

- Mill House, Mill Street, Houghton, PE28 2AZ - 01480 301494 Various mills have occupied this spot since the first building was erected in the year 969. In the Middle Ages, the mill was owned by the nearby Benedictine Abbey, and peasants were under an obligation to have their flour ground in the mill. Part of the flour was withheld as payment by the miller. When in 1500 the Abbot diverted the river water in order to supply the mill with sufficient power, the neighbouring village was flooded. The villagers rose up in protest, and fifteen years later they were granted permission to change the course of the water in case of an emergency. At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, ownership of the mill reverted to the Crown. The best-known miller is the nineteenth-century Quaker Potto Brown, a wealthy man who was so pious that he carried his ledgers to family prayer meetings in order to discuss with his Maker debts owed him. After his death, a bronze bust of him was erected.

Crisis mitigation in livestock-dependent systems: The role and limitations of current initiatives for livestock systems in southern Africa MetadataShow full item record Permanent link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10568/50320 Livestock are central to the livelihoods of livestock-dependent systems in Africa, particularly pastoralists and agro-pastoralists. Over the years, however, climatic extremes in this sub-region have impacted the agricultural production systems including livestock - dependent systems and hence the livestock owners. In recognition of this problem, the SADC member states have elaborated a Sub-Regional Action Programme (SRAP) to Combat Desertification in Southern Africa under the umbrella of the SADC Environment and Land Management Sector. In addition, the sub-region has, with the assistance of collaborating partners, established early warning systems (EWS) to assist farmers anticipate and prepare for climatic extremes such as drought. This paper discusses these initiatives focusing on their role and limitations to serve the livestock sector and suggests opportunities to enhance their effectiveness to support and improve the management of livestock and drought. - ILRI archive

On This Date… Today is the first day of the Jewish Passover (it began at sundown last evening). Passover will end at sundown on Tuesday, April 18. Passover seders occur on the evenings of April 10 and 11. The main food is matzah, unleavened bread. During the seder there will be the retelling of the events of the Exodus from Egypt under the leadership of Moses, freeing the Israelites from slavery. Christians will re-live the Exodus on Holy Thursday, April 13. We shall hear at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, “This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all your generations shall celebrate”. Jews and Christians alike are united in these special holy days. – Father McLaughlin

Secretary \SEK-ri-ter-ee\ , noun; 1. A person employed to handle correspondence and do routine work in a business office, usually involving taking dictation, typing, filing, and the like Today is Secretary's Day. Okay, it's actually Administrative Professional's Day, but you know what I mean. Secretary is first attested in 1387 as "person entrusted with secrets" from Middle Latin secretarius ("clerk, notary, confidential office, confidant") based on Latin secretum ("a secret"). The Latin word is actually a compound of se- + cernere. Se- means "without, apart" or "on one's own" from Proto-Indo-European *s(w)e-, which is the third person pronoun and the reflexive marker. Cernere means "separate" and comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *krei- ("to sieve, discriminate, distinguish"). I think that the transition from "secret keeper" to our modern idea of a secretary (or administrative professional, let's be p.c. about it) makes a lot of sense if you watch Mad Men.

Published on Nov 17, 2014 From the MIT Climate CoLab conference 2014, Crowds & Climate: From Ideas to Action, held November 6-7, 2014, at the MIT campus. The Climate CoLab is a project run out of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence that uses a technology-enabled, crowd-based approach to tackle climate change by dividing the problem into sub-challenges, running contests that address key issues, and allowing its growing international community develop solutions. The day-and-a-half program looked at how new technology-enabled, crowd-based approaches can help in developing creative new ideas and taking meaningful action on climate change. In this year’s event, we rolled up our sleeves and worked to figure out how to implement an innovative set of ideas to address climate change. This video was made possible by a generous gift from Lockheed Martin.

Oregon rivers see historically low counts of steelhead fish SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Fisheries managers say steelhead fish in Santiam and Willamette rivers in northwestern Oregon have hit low levels not seen in over 40 years. The Statesman Journal reports (http://stjr.nl/2rJLmDH ) typically about 5,600 wild winter steelhead crossing through Willamette Falls annually. Officials said this year, it was around 800. Numbers for hatchery-raised summer steelhead also came out low. This year, the count came out to 1,100 compared to the regular average of 18,000 fish per year. Bruce McIntosh with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says the low counts are due to years of poor ocean conditions and drought. He says those factors have limited the steelhead's food supply. McIntosh says sea lions have also become a significant threat to the fish.

It can be tempting for teens to add protein powder to their diet in the hope of improving athletic performance or gaining weight and muscle mass. However, HealthyChildren.org, a website of the American Academy of Pediatrics, discourages the use of sports supplements, which are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration for safety or efficacy and may contain harmful ingredients. Teens should talk to their pediatrician or a registered dietitian if they have questions about getting enough protein in their diet. Protein from Food Sources Teens can get enough protein from whole foods like meat, eggs and nuts, as well as from milk, which is rich in the whey protein found in many protein powders. Drinking milk, even chocolate milk, after resistance workouts may increase lean muscle mass. Teen boys 14 to 18 need about 52 grams of protein daily, girls slightly less. Adding excessive amounts of protein to your diet will not by itself increase your muscle mass -- you need exercise for this. A well-balanced diet will nourish your body with more than just protein.

Becoming a good communicator starts with the fact of being allowed to express oneself. When children experience being heard, they will also learn to listen. Communication is about respect, respecting each other’s personality and respecting each other’s opinions. For intrapersonal intelligent individuals this comes automatic. But for other learning styles communicating with others can be an effort. Therefore children need safe opportunities and experiences that give them the message that they can develop this skill well and become an active member of the group. In the Montessori class, children have the opportunity to develop into reliable and supportive team members. - Teachers have the child’s total development as priority - There is an atmosphere of collaboration and trust - Problem solving processes are practised - An emphasis on supporting each other - Responsibility towards each other An environment adhering to these characteristics allows children to open up, communicate, stand their ground and know that they will continue to be respected!

Sendes vanligvis innen 5-15 dager In the framework of democratic societies, investigative journalism is deemed as serving the public interest, helping maintain a healthy public sphere and helping to hold power into account. The ideals of a democratic society justify the idea and practice of investigative journalism. Alternately, modern China runs an authoritarian system of the one-party rule, so where does the idea of investigative journalism fit in? Why can investigative journalism appear in such an authoritarian society and with what characteristics? Investigative Journalism in China examines the four aspects of Chinese investigative journalism (the Idea of investigative journalism and its comparison against Western contexts; the Development/Influence; Reporters and their work; and the Impacts on society), by using empirical data from Dr. Jingrong Tong's fieldwork at two newsrooms (the Southern Metropolitan Daily and the Dahe Daily) in 2006, 73 in-depth-interviews conducted from 2004-2008, and the analysis of internal and public documents and media cases in order to accurately survey the field and put it in context.

Increasingly, addressing climate change is being done at the local level, as the impacts are likely to be borne by local communities and municipalities. Recent projections have identified the Highveld region, where Gauteng is located, as highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Projections for 2071-2100 (compared to 1961-1990) show an increase of 3-6°C for the interior of Southern Africa – two times the global rate. This is likely to have an effect on crop yield and hydrology. The GCR’s annual rainfall is projected to become mildly drier (0-10%). However, its summer rainfall pattern is expected to experience an increase in the frequency of extreme rainfall events. This increase is likely to have the greatest direct impact on the GCR because of the associated increased risk of flooding, particularly flash floods. *

Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Wissembourg WISSEMBOURG, a French town, close to the frontier of the Bavarian palatinate; until 1919 a town in the German district of Lower Alsace; on the Lauter, 42 miles N. N. E. of Strassburg. It grew up round a 7th-century Benedictine abbey, and in 1677-1697 was ceded to France. Here was fought, on Aug. 4, 1870, the first great battle of the Franco-Prussian War, in which the Germans were victorious. The Lines of Wissembourg, originally made by Villars in 1706, are famous — a line of works extending to Lauterburg 9 miles S. E. Like the fortifications of the town, those of the lines have now disappeared. Pop. about 7,500.

Sometimes unpleasant things happen in class. Money is stolen from your desk. Someone splashes paint on your clothes when you’re not looking. Graffiti appears on a classroom wall or desk. You have suspicions about who committed the offence. Coercing a confession from a suspect won’t teach honesty; it might breed resentment. Why not give space for a child to admit the misdemeanour so that they don’t lose face in front of peers? Wait for an admission until the child is ready. Even if no one owns up, someone gets to experience the heavy weight of being dishonest. We can only learn to be honest when we have room to be dishonest.

PCSR REVIEW SERIES WEEK 3: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions Last week, we have learned how to add and subtract fractions. In this post, we are going to learn about addition of mixed fractions. There are two strategies in addition and subtraction of mixed fractions. The first one is to add or subtract first the whole numbers (if possible), then add or subtract the fraction. The second is to convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions before performing addition or subtraction. The following are the Youtube videos where you can learn how to add and subtract mixed fractions. - Fractions Larger than 1 - Addition of Similar Mixed Fractions - Addition of Dissimilar Mixed Fractions - Subtractions of Similar Mixed Fractions - Subtraction of Similar Mixed Fractions If you have time, I suggest that you watch the complete FRACTION SERIES here (24 videos):

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1939) The theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was one of the best-known representatives of the so-called Confessing Church [Bekennende Kirche or BK]. With a membership base of some 3,000 pastors, the Confessing Church was the Protestant churches’ most significant attempt at institutional resistance to the Nazi dictatorship. The Confessing Church declared racial ideology incompatible with Christianity, and protested state control of ecclesiastical politics. Bonhoeffer also worked with resistance groups in the Wehrmacht's Office of Military Intelligence. On April 5, 1943, he was arrested and charged with undermining the strength of the military. Two years later, he was hanged in the Flossenbürg concentration camp on April 9, 1945. Today he is known chiefly for the memorandum "Who Can Resist Temptation?" (December 1942), in which he called on the German people to show courage and take responsibility before themselves and God.

These intricate designs incorporates prehistoric fossilized wooly mammoth ivory or fossil walrus ivory. Now extinct, the mammoth roamed the earth until about 10,000 years ago. Mammoth ivory is found as a consequence of gold mining in Canada, Alaska and Siberia and is found in the layer just above the gold. It can also be found in deposits after a violent winter storm have revealed a portion of the material sticking up out of the permafrost near ancient lake beds. The grain pattern of spirals running clockwise and counter clockwise over one another proves it is pre-Ice Age mammoth ivory. Fossil walrus ivory is found mostly on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska and up and down the coast of mainland Alaska. Most is excavated by Eskimos from their Ancestral village sites and some fossil weathers out of the ground on its own. The color of the ivory varies due to the minerals surrounding the soil. Fossil walrus ivory is between five hundred to ten thousand years old. These fossils are carved and then set with sterling silver and some have gold accents. They are each handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia.

|The researchers in the large anechoic chamber| Studies on echolocation, the ability of humans to detect (and in many cases, dodge) objects by detecting echoes from these objects, started in the 1950s. To continue and add to the findings of these studies, researchers at the University of Southampton conducted a series of experiments to find out whether blind people can use the same tools/techniques used by bats and dolphins to detect objects which would help them navigate in their immediate surrounding. Humans, bats, and dolphins have a common set of specialized brain processes that can locate the source of the sound. Bats and Dolphins are well known to use echolocation to navigate through the dark and the ocean very effectively. The purpose of Rowan’s experiments was to determine how effective humans can be in learning the same techniques that bats and dolphins use. For these experiments, Rowan and his team built a special large anechoic chamber to demonstrate that both blind and sighted people can use sound to locate objects (see video for details). They also determined that some people are better at locating the source of sound than others, however, they think that the ability to track the location of sound gets better with more experience and feedback.

With the subject of engine emissions expected to be at the forefront of environmental regulations and consumers’ concerns for years to come, understanding the fundamental principles of how those emissions occur, and how they can be properly measured, is vitally important. SAE International’s Engine Emissions Measurement Handbook addresses the main aspects of this subject. Developed and co-authored by HORIBA, Engine Emissions Measurement Handbook is targeted at the technical user. It is suitable for those involved in engine development and testing, and environmental researchers focused on better ways to minimize emissions pollution. Using easy-to-understand language, authors Hiroshi Nakamura and Masayuki Adachi cover, among others, the following topics: measurement of gaseous emissions; measurement of particulate emission; evaporative emissions measurement; principles of exhaust gas analyzers; vehicle emissions testing equipment; emissions measurement applications; and emissions regulations around the world.

All girl Boarding Schools In Protestant England, it was commonplace for young women to receive their education in boarding schools. Majority of the young girls were sent there because they were considered to be in the way at home. Often boarding schools had a less than respectable reputation. One eighteenth century woman who ran a boarding school, commented "what nasty indecent tricks do they also learn from each other, when a number of them pig together in the same bed-chamber, not to speak of the vices that render the body weak." 12 She is commenting on the common belief that many young women were picking up inappropriate behaviors while attending these all female boarding schools, such as learning how to masturbate. The lack of male presence within these boarding schools caused much speculation amongst the public on what could be going on between the young female students.

This new offering from the Tate Gallery’s publishing arm asks simple questions about visual perception, challenging readers to make judgments about relationships between familiar objects. The subjects are varied: the view of the ground from a plane or tall building; the comparison between different tall objects such as a tree, crane, or high-rise vs. a dinosaur; a variety of tiny things, such as a speck of dirt, an ant’s foot, or a pinhole in a shirt; as well as views through a microscope or inside an old TV. Some of the examples are apposite, but some seem rather lame, such as the filling from the middle of a pillow. The apparent intention, to teach simple science concepts, is let down by the illustrations, which consist of bold, flat, textured geometric shapes, often close-ups of faces and hands, which although diverse in skin color, are not the best medium for explaining the concepts under discussion. Worse, the illustrations are mostly imaginary, such as animals under a microscope with eyes, and the inside of a TV full of playful but unrealistic spools and threads. Science books for the young can and should do better than this. (Picture book. 3-5)

Despite the alarming statistics the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Health and Ageing has found some encouraging results to show that the situation can be improved. Thursday, 14 July 2011 Every year in Australia suicide claims the lives of around 2000 Australians placing it ahead of road traffic accidents and skin cancer as a cause of death. For young people aged 15 to 24, it is the number one cause of death. Despite this, in recent years the issues of mental health and suicide prevention have received comparatively less mainstream policy attention and seemingly less program funding than well resourced and public road safety and sun protection campaigns. The tide is starting to turn. New, strong and ever growing community engagement with these issues now place mental health and suicide prevention firmly on the national policy agenda for political parties of all persuasions who recognise both the complex nature of the issue but also the impact that a single suicide can have on families, communities, schools and workplaces. There has also been a noticeable shift toward more open discussion and debate surrounding the issue of suicide including the role the media play in reporting on the issue; an important conversation to have particularly in the social media era.

Today, China is a lot closer to completing their suborbital space station plans: the unmanned Shenzhou 8 spacecraft has automatically rendezvoused and docked with the space lab Tiangong-1. It's the third space agency ever to achieve achieve this feat. The first two were the Soviet Union and the European Space Agency. The Chinese space agency, the docking operation was flawless. This is not a small feat. First, it demonstrates that they could perform a crucial operation required to establish a space base. But even more importantly, orbital rendezvous and docking is indispensable to launch missions to the Moon and Mars. This shows that China can handle this must-have requirement. Shenzhou 8 will remain docked for 12 more days to then undock and dock again. It will return to Earth on November 17. Following this operation, the manned Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 10 will dock with Tiangong-1 in 2012. These missions will perform manual docking operations. [BBC News]

Pride of Place, Part 2: The Cities Arthur K. Wheelock Jr., curator of northern baroque paintings, National Gallery of Art. The Dutch took enormous pride in their cities, which experienced unprecedented prosperity during the 17th century. A new genre of painting-the cityscape-emerged as images of towns and cities were captured in paintings, maps, atlases, illustrated books, and prints. In the second of this three-part Backstory podcast, produced on the occasion of the Gallery exhibition Pride of Place: Dutch Cityscapes of the Golden Age, Wheelock talks about the cities of the seventeen Dutch provinces and the artists who depicted them.

Born May 10, 1891, in the village of Tunbara, near the city of al Mahalla al Kubra; died Mar. 27, 1934, in Cairo. Egyptian sculptor. Founder of the 20th-century national school of sculpture. In 1908, Mukhtar enrolled at the Art Institute in Cairo. After 1910 he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by A. Rodin. Mukhtar executed monumental works imbued with the fervor of the national renaissance (for example, the monument The Awakening of Egypt in Cairo, granite, 1919–28). He also did a series of smaller works, which are noted for the poetic, symbolically generalized rendering of Egyptian peasants (The Peasant Woman, marble, 1928; Khamsin, limestone, 1929—both in the Mukhtar Museum, Cairo). Mukhtar sought to emphasize the historical ties between contemporary and ancient Egyptian art.

Conflicts among young children are typical in group settings, commonly arising over property, territory, personal space, and exclusion. At Pacific Oaks, we view conflicts as an opportunity to impart valuable learning experiences. Our teachers work to facilitate problem-solving skills that teach children to effectively navigate a social community whether it is the playground, the classroom, or the real-world. We think it is important to provide children with skills to navigate challenges such as conflicts, and through applying this skill set, children learn to see and respect another’s point of view and use language as an effective communication tool—clearly expressing their needs, wants, emotions, and thoughts. They learn to constructively handle conflict and cope with frustration and disappointment while developing pro-social behaviors. They also learn to anticipate how others might react to their behavior and use that information to make choices about how they approach a situation.

She likewise strongly suggested that adequate training of staff and teachers is needed to improve the quality of mainstreaming and inclusion practices. The Audit Commission Report (2002) found that there is a gap between policy and practice, citing several cases of British schools where the duty to mainstream education is absent where the education of a child with SEN is incompatible with the rest. The same report discovered that children with SEN experienced greater or lesser difficulty in gaining admission to their school of choice. Children with emotional and behavioural difficulties had most problems, followed by children with ADHD, and then those with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). The report findings are supported by Sage (2004) and Wright (2003) but not by Wilkins et al. (2004). Despite the widespread adoption of policies on mainstreaming, and more recently on inclusive education for children and young people with SEN, little is actually known about the relationship between what teachers think about such policies and the type of learning environments they provide. A study (Monsen & Frederickson, 2004) in New Zealand involving 63 primary school teachers and 1,729 pupils concluded that children taught by teachers who espoused highly positiv ...Show more

There are only two types of hardy cyclamen, one that flowers in the spring and one that flowers in the fall, according to the University of Arkansas. Hardy cyclamen grow from tubers and will propagate readily on their own in your garden. Both types of hardy cyclamen produce small 6-inch-tall heart-shaped pink flowers. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Find a planting site in your garden with partial sun. The soil also needs to be well drained. Add 5 to 6 inches of compost to the soil and work it in to a depth of 8 inches. Dig holes in your garden as deep as the tubers and 6 to 10 inches apart from each other. Place the hardy cyclamen tubers into the holes and cover the tubers with 1/4 inch of soil. Apply a light layer of mulch, about 1/4 inch thick, to the freshly planted hardy cyclamen tubers. Water the hardy cyclamen tubers for three to five minutes. Plant the hardy cyclamen in the late summer or early fall.

A genus of halcyonoids in which the skeleton, or coral (called organ-pipe coral), consists of a mass of parallel cylindrical tubes united at intervals by transverse plates. These corals are usually red or purple and form large masses. They are natives of the tropical parts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia - n. The leading genus of Tubiporidæ, or organ-pipe corals. T. musica is the best-known species. See cut in next column. Sorry, no etymologies found. The tubipora forms the transition to the serpula; for the characteristic of all zoophytes, namely, the star shape of their openings, here disappears, and the tubiporæ are distinguished from the rest of the corals by this very circumstance, that the hollow calcareous pipes are placed side by side, without interbranching. The tubipora of the corals connects with the serpula of the conchylia.

The oxen are usually black and are the remnants of a particular breed, the outcome of a long and slow experiment in getting the right sort of draught animal. The ploughs themselves, as Jefferies says, "must have been put together bit by bit in the slow years—slower than the ox.... How many thousand, thousand clods must have been turned in the furrows before ... the curve to be given to this or that part grew upon the mind, as the branch grows upon the tree!" But the Downs are not scarred to any great extent by cultivation. The sheep and the birds are mostly in sole possession and are almost the only living moving things on the hills. The fox, though at one time common, is now very rarely seen, for game, with the disappearance of gorse and bramble, has almost vanished, and other beasts of prey, weasel and stoat, shun the open uplands where the only enemy of field mouse and vole is the eagle of the south country, the peregrine falcon.

The Significance of the Month of Muharram and its Tenth day (Ashura) 14 Oct, 2015 The following booklet is a short and precise discussion on the importance and significance of the Holy month of Muharram which is the first month in the Islamic calendar. It was compiled by a senior Hadith specialist of Indian origin by the name of Shaykh Fazlur Rahman Azmi who currently resides in South Africa. The work has also outlined the matters pertaining to the 10th day of Muharram known as Ashura and the days that fasting is significant. The work also serves to dispel some of the myths and superstitions that some people have introduced over time in the name of Islam.

As type inference systems become more sophisticated, it becomes increasingly important to allow the programmer to give type annotations that both document the program and guide type inference. In Haskell 98, it is not possible to write certain type annotations, because they must mention a type that is “in scope” and the language provides no way to name such types. The obvious solution is to provide language support for lexically scoped type variables, an area whose design space has not been systematically explored. Our contribution is to bring together the relevant folk lore, in coherent form, and make it accessible to a much larger community than hitherto. In particular, we describe and contrast two main alternative designs — the “type-lambda” approach of SML 97, and an alternative “type-sharing” approach which is used by GHC and OCaml — and survey some alternative design choices. Scoped type variables will play a key role in the type systems of the future; they can no longer be added as an afterthought to language implementations.

My colleague Deb Mitchell introduced me to a technique called Visual Thinking Strategies last year, and the more familiar I become with it the more I like it. The principle is simple: teachers ask specific, open ended questions to get students to look closely at visual material to draw conclusions based on evidence. It is designed to use with all ages--kindergarten to adults. Although it was originally designed to use with art, we've found that the surprisingly powerful technique works well in getting students to look closely at and analyze all sorts of images, including historic photographs, posters, propaganda, and advertisements. We're currently revamping the "Coming to Montana: Immigrants from around the World" footlocker and we've included VTS in two of the new lesson plans. That's how much we like it! Deb created a brief PowerPoint summarizing the technique for a presentation she was giving on VTS that she graciously said I could share with you. You can learn more about VTS on the VTS website, where you can also watch videos of teachers modeling the technique. What's your favorite teaching strategy? Share it with me and I'll share it with on the blog.

Artist: Alfred Sisley (British, Paris 1839–1899 Moret-sur-Loing) Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 19 3/4 x 24 in. (50.2 x 61 cm) Credit Line: Robert Lehman Collection, 1975 Accession Number: 1975.1.211 In the 1860’s, Sisley met Pissarro, Monet, Bazille, and Renoir, with whom he brought forth the practice of painting directly from nature. Exhibiting with the Impressionists, as they were formally named at the time of their independent exhibition in Paris in 1874, Sisley enjoyed short-lived but considerable success during the 1870’s. While residing in Sèvres with his wife and children, Sisley painted this view of a curved pathway lined with chestnut trees in full bloom. The pathway follows a bend in the Seine, lending the viewer access across the pictorial space. The weather is pleasant, the sky a crisp pale blue, and the grass bending softly in the wind. Unlike other Impressionists who returned to their studios in their later careers, Sisley remained outdoors, painting from his sketches rendered in the countryside.

"Exploration in Maya Cities" was the subject of a lecture delivered in Pierce Hall last evening by Franz Blom, first year, graduate student in the Division of Anthropolgy and former inspector of archaeological monuments for the government of Mexico. Mr. Blom's lecture dealt with the recent discoveries which have been made in Yucatan and Central America, where many traces of ancient civilizations have been found. The lecture was illustrated by three reels of moving pictures, showing the ruins of the Maya cities of Chichen-itza, Uxmal, and Palenque. As an introduction Mr. Blom described the ancient inhabitants of these cities. The men painted their bodies and festooned their hair. Evidences of a highly developed state of civilization were found in the hieroglyphic system and calendar of the Maya people. Their public buildings were uniquely decorated with the heads and coiling bodies of snakes. The films, which showed principally the ruins of the ancient temples, are the property of the Mexican government and have never before been exhibited outside of Mexico.

Monday, March 22, 2010 Why do some athletes not have hair on their legs? Many athletes remove hair from their legs, arms, back and chest because they believe it improves their speed and agility. Swimmers are the best example of this. Other athletes remove hair because smooth arms and legs make muscles look bigger and more toned. Hair removal can be done by shaving, waxing, or laser treatment. One article published in 1992 by Johns, Houmard, Kobe, Hortobagyi, Bruno, Wells, and Shinebarger did find that "shaving significantly increased distance per stroke (P < 0.05) by [almost equal to]5%. These data indicate that reduced training specifically improves swim power; however, removing exposed body hair after taper may additionally enhance performance capabilities by increasing distance per stroke" Source: Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise Volume 24(10).

Financial literacy for children is a hot topic. Start them young so they learn to save not spend, is one school of thought. But what if as a parent you are struggling with your own financial literacy can you be a positive role model? Children and money is always a very interesting topic of conversation. The question of what to teach children about money and when to start is something I am asked quite frequently in my role as a money mentor. I really like Rob Stocks article Cents and Financial Sensibility , his 10 point checklist, whilst somewhat tongue in cheek, does have a few gems in it. Teaching your children financial literacy should go hand in hand with their understanding of maths. There is no point trying to teach the value of $20 or what you can buy with it if the child can only count to 10.

The beautiful rolling hills of North Mississippi attracts many visitors each year. In 1837, John Coombs was one of the first visitors. After the Chickasaw Cession and Pontotoc Treaty of 1836 settlers poured into this area from the Carolina's to stake claim to land. On May 22, 1837, John Coombs, at the courthouse in Ripley, MS in the newly formed Tippah County, paid taxes on 3,000 acres of land and began a new life in the frontier. He returned to his home state of South Carolina to gather is family and return to his new home in Mississippi. Today the Coombs Family marks the 8th generation of decendents. Named for the old community of Concord, located right near where the Concord Inn is currently located, the land provides a rich history for visitors and guests alike.

Things come up roses for threatened rosewood THE Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) on Thursday moved to put 300 species of rosewood under trade restrictions. Rosewood was listed as the most trafficked wild product, according to a United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report which also showed that it accounted for a third of all seizures by value. Demand for rosewood was booming in China, the world’s largest consumer and processor of timber. CITES recommends the inclusion of genus Dalbergia – rosewood found across the world – in Appendix II, which would allow only regulated international trade. The rosewood species that were already listed on Appendix I, which prevents trade, remained on that list. Vanessa Dick, timber policy expert from the World Wildlife Fund, said the decision by CITES was a major boost to efforts to halt the unsustainable trade in rosewood. "By listing the entire genus, all Dalbergia species – including those in high demand – will finally receive the protection needed to avoid further local and regional extinction. This inclusive listing promotes a practical approach that avoids issues in species identification that previously hindered effective implementation."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- New research finds astronauts traveling to and from Mars would be bombarded with a lot of cosmic radiation. Using the radiation sensor aboard the NASA rover Curiosity, scientists estimated that a round-trip voyage would expose astronauts to about 662 millisieverts. That's similar to getting a full-body CT scan every five or six days for a year. As plans for deep space exploration ramp up, radiation is a big concern. NASA aims to send a crew to orbit the red planet by the mid-2030s and private outfits are seeking volunteers for a Mars flight. The latest finding, appearing in Friday's issue of the journal Science, only includes radiation exposure on a Mars flight. It doesn't include time spent on the Martian surface.

This student activity booklet was created for a study of ancient cultures and focuses on China, its contributions to today's society, geography, and culture. Meets the VA standards of SOL 2.1, 2.4. The text of the book is written for second grade readers and is a great review to a unit on Ancient China. I used it as a review at the end of every lesson to "cement" the information and check for understanding. Students will color, highlight, draw, and copy characters as they make their way through the 11 page booklet. It can certainly also be used as an informal assessment of student learning! The booklet is formatted so that you can copy it double sided, and includes directions on how to position it in the copier. I kept my booklets "whole page" but you can certainly cut it into single sides and staple it together. I hope you enjoy this product! All clipart came from Microsoft Office or from public domain. Please see my blog and teacher store for further information on Ancient China and Egypt!

China has landed a spacecraft carrying its first robotic rover on the moon. The "Chang'e 3" lander is named after a mythical Chinese goddess of the moon. With the landing, China becomes the third country to carry out a lunar soft landing, after the United States and the Soviet Union. The last such landing on the moon occurred in 1976, 37 years ago. After the landing, the Yutu, or Jade Rabbit, rover is planned to separate from the lander and begin a three-month study of the moon's surface. The "Chang'e 3" mission blasted off from Earth on December 2. According to Chinese space scientists, the mission aims at testing new technologies and gather scientific data.

The temperature had been 28 degrees celsius average, with 137cm of rainfall average each year. This climate means that soil is often damp and therefore prone to moving easily. The Caribbean plate moved east while the North American plate moved west. A large movement in the north section of the Caribbean plate occurred, causing the earthquake. Rocks break when the tension is released, which is what then causes the damage. The earthquake was shallow, and the plates hadn’t shifted for years. The plate boundary ran through the capital, Port au Prince. The epicenter was very close to Port au Prince, while the focus was not far underground. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, so was ill equiped for this situation. Building quality was awful- and they lacked infrastructure. They had poor architecture, and many buildings were made of low quality concrete blocks.Roo Roofs easily collapsed, trapping people underneath. Many houses were on slopes, causing slips.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained. The abstract form in which an argument or proposition may be expressed in logical terms, as distinct from its particular content. - ‘If one keeps in mind the logical form of a universal generalization, and if one excludes background knowledge about relative class-sizes, then there is no paradox.’ - ‘Some structuralists, like Resnik and myself, take this to give the underlying logical form of mathematical language.’ - ‘However, there seems to be a more attractive reading: We accept a fallacious argument only if we are deceived about its logical form.’ - ‘One can represent the logical form of an argument by replacing the specific content words with letters used as place-holders or variables.’ - ‘It was Russell who performed the service of showing that the apparent logical form of a proposition need not be its real one.’ Top tips for CV writingRead more In this article we explore how to impress employers with a spot-on CV.

Several medical schools have adopted some version of problem based learning (PBL) in the process of changing their curricula in the last few decades. PBL is student based learning and the students need to gain the knowledge and the ability to use library resources. Therefore the library is called upon to play a new role as guide, negotiator and facilitator for the students to search for reading materials in print or nonprint form. The results of a number of surveys have revealed that the students in PBL curricula make more use of the library than those in traditional curricula. Medical libraries are encountered with several challenges such as selecting reading material for clinical problems at all levels and providing an effective library orientation programme.

Swords Round Tower - View as map C/O Fingal Tourism, Mains Court, Main Street, Swords, Dublin, Republic of Ireland Swords Round Tower marks an early Christian foundation established by St. Columcille and can be seen in the grounds of the Church of Ireland. The nearby belfry dates from the 14th century. Construction work on the castle began in the 12th Century with the appointment of the first Norman bishop of Dublin, John Comyn. The castle was founded on the well associated with St. Colmcille and is prominently situated in the Ward River Valley Linear Park. The castle is unusual in that, with the perimeter of 305 meters, it is far larger than normal for an Irish Castle and was constructed in piecemeal fashion over a period of 400 years. As well as being the home of the Archbishops of Dublin, it is said that parliaments were held in the great hall of the castle. The Belfry is open to the public in summer when weather permits.

The brains of heterosexual males and heterosexual females are different. Moreover, the brains of gay men are similar to heterosexual females whereas the brains of lesbians are similar to heterosexual males. Neuroscience research supporting these postulates is reviewed. The gestational processes that might explain the differences in brain structure and function corresponding with gender are reviewed. Following a discussion of the physiological bases for sexual orientation, a discussion of the physiological bases for the expression of gender related traits and a discussion of factors contributing to sexual identity are provided. Throughout the article, alternative ways to think about gender are suggested.

Between 1838 and 1917, almost 240,000 East Indian indentured workers were brought to British Guiana. The indentured workers had the right to be repatriated at the end of their contracts, but as of 1890, most of the East Indian indentured workers had chosen to settle in British Guiana. Although the great majority of the East Indian immigrants workers were from northern India, there were variations among them in caste and religion. Some 30 percent of the East Indians were from agricultural castes and 31 percent were from low castes or were untouchables. Brahmans, the highest caste, constituted 14 percent of the East Indian immigrants. About 16 percent were Muslims. The only acknowledgment the colonial government and the plantation managers gave to caste differences was their distrust of the Brahmans as potential leaders. East Indian workers were housed together and placed in work gangs without consideration of caste. Unlike the African slaves, the East Indian indentured workers were permitted to retain may of their cultural traditions. But the process of assimilation has made the culture of the modern Indo-Guyanese more homogeneous than that of their caste-conscious immigrant ancestors. |Country Studies main page | Guyana Country Studies main page|

Researchers found dozens of mutated butterflies near the site of the nuclear accident in Fukushima, prompting officials to say it’s the first sign of damage to the ecosystem. According to NBC News, researcher Joji Otaki of the University of Ryukyus found mutation in roughly 12 percent of 144 commonly-found pale grass blue butterflies collected two months after the March 2011 disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant. Even more alarming, researcher said the mutation increased to 28 percent six months later and more than 50 percent of the offspring showed some signs of mutation. Researchers said the butterflies have disfigured antennas, smaller-sized wings, indented eyes and different color patterns, NBC News reported. “Since we’ve seen these effects on butterflies, it’s easy to imagine that it would also have affected other species as well,” Otaki said. “It’s pretty clear that something has gone wrong with the ecosystem.” A group of five nuclear plants suffered damage after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake knocked out power and a tsunami flooded back up generators at the plants. The lack of power allowed for three reactors to overheat, releasing radiation into the surrounding area.

How to Read Capacitor Value Codes: - Capacitance is the ability to store electrons and is measured in Farads. - One Farad is a very large value! So most capacitors are measured in MicroFarads (uF) or even Picofarads (pF). What do the letters on a capacitor mean? Letters that follow the number codes (ex: 103J or 252M) are the tolerance, or how much a capacitor may deviate from its official value. Common values are shown below: |E||+/- 0.5%||F||+/- 1%| |G||+/- 2%||H||+/- 3%| |J||+/- 5%||K||+/- 10%| |M||+/- 20%||N||+/- 30%| |P||+100% ,-0%||Z||+80%, -20%|

Diagnosis of these conditions is by a history and physical examination, and may involve electrical testing of the nerve that is thought to be compressed. Treatment of these conditions can be as simple as the application of a brace or splint. In more severe or longstanding situations where sensation or strength are in danger of being permanently lost, surgery might be required. Click here to learn more about Carpal Tunnel

Title: Particle Physics On a Chip: the Search for Majorana Fermions Speaker: Leo Kouwenhoven, Delft Univ. of Technology. Where: Sala de conferencias módulo 0, Facultad de Ciencias. When: Thursday 29 May, 12:h00 Majorana fermions were predicted in 1937 by Ettore Majorana in Rome. These are particles with the mysterious property that they are equal to their anti-particles. This defining property immediately implies that these “Majoranas’ have zero charge and zero energy. Ongoing searches for detecting Majoranas occur in the context of high-energy physics and dark matter, but yet without success. Simultaneously, condensed matter theorists proposed specially designed electronics that can host Majoranas. This insight led to a successful experiment that has the signature of a Majorana, potentially the key to developing a quantum computer.

Conventionally, in automotive applications cooling pumps have been directly mechanically driven. This paper presents the significant improvements possible with their substitution by electrical cooling pumpsA model of the thermal behaviour of the engine and of the cooling circuit has been developed. Two different configurations of the cooling system have been considered, the conventional one and one with an electrical cooling pump and an electrical operated bypass valve instead of the thermostat. Result of the modeling is a fourth order system with additional delays. The coolant mass flow through the pump and the bypass valve position are inputs. A control for the electrical pump and the electrical valve is developed, which influences the cooling fluid temperature and the engine temperature, with the aim of reducing the fuel consumption and mechanical wear during cold start and part load operating conditions.

The spotted sandpiper is one of the most wide spread sandpipers found in North America. They breed through out most of the northern two thirds of the continent and winter in the Southern United States, Mexico, Central America and the northern half of South America. Unlike many other types of birds it is the female spotted sandpiper who arrives in the breeding grounds first, before the male, establishing and defending a territory. When the males arrive she may mate with more then one, leaving the male to tend the clutch while she lays eggs with up to three other males. The males will incubate and the eggs and care for the chicks once they hatch. Sometimes a male will even end up caring for chicks that were fathered by an earlier male because females can store sperm packets for up to a month. This bird, which I photographed on the shore of the St Croix River in Wild River State Park was probably a male because I did find a chick running around.

picoTCP bindings in Rust Rust is a very modern compiled language, with many high-level concepts: generics, traits, pattern matching, closures. It has procedural, object-oriented and functional paradigms, and much more. The language is oriented to performance and safety. Thanks to its C-like abstract machine model, it is possible to create low-level software such as system applications, core libraries and even entire Operating Systems. On the other hand, the developer does not have to worry too much about memory boundaries, allocations lifetime and initialized memory which are in fact managed by the Rust compiler itself. Most of the checks are indeed performed at compile time, meaning that the generated binaries are guaranteed to be memory safe.

He was a teenager when he ran away from home, and the saddlemaker to whom he had been apprenticed, to go West. His brother had joined a caravan bound for Santa Fe, and young Christopher decided to go too. So he borrowed a neighbor’s mule and rode the 100 miles to Independence to meet with the wagon train. His brother told him to go back home. He rode a mile or so before he turned the mule loose and walked back to camp. He was then allowed to join the caravan. It was October 1826. He was missed, but not much. His employer, David Workman, offered a one-cent reward for his return. A year later Workman headed west, too. Kentucky and North Carolina disagree about which state was the birthplace of Christopher Carson. Neither can claim him, however, because his longing to go “a-westering” was nurtured in Missouri, and this laid the foundation for his entire life. New Mexico claims him because he spent most of his life there.

Research by Gene Giacomelli, combined with the University of Arizona and NASA, has been developing production facilities for extreme climates like on the moon and Antarctica. In one of the most extreme and remote environments fresh vegetables are grown in the 'South Pole Food Growth Chamber', to support the crew of the NASA South Pole Station during their annual eight-month period of isolation. Semi-automated hydroponic technology and extensive data monitoring is utilized to grow multiple salad crops. Current production numbers are around 50 kg/m2*yr with everyday production during the eight month stay, but can be improved significantly to reach numbers comparable to greenhouse technology. Another research project by Giacomelli is the Lunar Greenhouse study. It demonstrates a closed system for maximum biomass generation, food production within a poly-culture cropping system, water recycling and revitalization of interior atmosphere. It is designed to produce all of the fruit and vegetables needed by a crew member on 28 to 40 m2 crop production. This would generate 50% of the caloric intake required. The design is furter adapted to meet the requirements of NASA and to be able to be sent to the lunar surface.

CALCIUM CONSUMPTION: Young people (especially girls) who do not build a strong skeleton run the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. Children who do not drink milk or eat other dairy products require adequate calcium from plant foods such as broccoli and dark green leafy vegetables. FAT FURNACE: The body's ability to burn fat depends on two factors -- conditioning level and workout duration. Muscles that are highly conditioned have the ability to utilize fat as a fuel source more readily and to conserve glycogen (stored glucose) than untrained muscles. Exercise sessions longer than 45 minutes burn more fat than sessions of shorter duration.

It brings colour into our early lives… The Autochrome In 1907 one of the worlds first successful method for producing colour pictures, produced Impressionist-like images with delicate colors. In 2006 the feature film The Illusionist tried to recreate the look. This process of early colour photography was called the Autochrome, it was a complicated process using, of all things… potatoes. Autochrome photographs are produced by a glass plate coated on one side with dyed grains of potato starch under a silverhalide emulsion. In 1909 Albert Kahn, a millionaire French banker sent his photographers to more than 50 countries. Their photographs and films documented the collapse of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires, the last traditional Celtic villages in Ireland and the soldiers of the First World War. Get inspired by this man and his ambitious project to document the world. Watch one part of the BBC series The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn here.

Jovian chorus is generated in Jupiter's radiation belts by electrons spiraling along Jupiter's magnetic field lines in this region. Once generated, the chorus waves interact with the moving electrons, disturbing the spiral orbit of the electrons and causing them to fall into the Jupiter's ionosphere along the magnetic field lines at high latitudes. Chorus waves consist of a rapid succession of intense ascending tones, rising in frequency over very short time intervals, each tone lasting typically less than one second. The frequencies of these rising tones occur in the audio frequency range and sound like a dawn chorus of chirping birds, a sound which gives these waves their name.

Hi, I've got a horizontally moving piston in a pneumatic cylinder, the piston is moving backward to suck the air into the cylinder from a hole at one end, this will lead to an air flow rate. I would like to measure the air flow rate at that instant. I was thinking of with a pressure sensor attach to the cylinder, i can measure the pressure difference. By using Bernoulli's equation, i can calculate the air flow rate. Is this approach correct? and what pressure sensor would be suitable? If you need me to explain more on the details, I would be more than happy to help you. Thx guys.

There are a lot of languages in Switzerland! It’s probably because it is so close to so many different countries. There are also interesting variations in the language spoken there and interesting dialects. The French spoken in Switzerland uses different numbers for 70, 80 and 90 than those used in France. In Switzerland, they use septante, octante and nonante, instead of soixante-dix (literally sixty ten), quatre-vingts (four twenties) and quatre-vingt-dix (four twenties ten). There is even a little known Romance language spoken in Switzerland called Romansh. Here are some phrases in Romansh Welcome – Bainvegni How are you? – Co vai? I understand – Jeu chapesch I love you – Jeu carezel tei Do you speak Romansh – Discurras ti rumantsch?

Because regular tofu wasn't unappetizing enough, a team of graduate students at Cornell University created a tofu made entirely out of mealworms. Believe it or not, this idea didn't start from a bad bet. It was born from the problem that humanity's consumption is having an increasingly detrimental effect on the environment. Crushed up mealworms have the same amount of protein pound-for-pound as an egg and even more than regular tofu. But since the world would never eat something named 'mealworm-fu', the Cornell team settled on 'C-fu', after the original tofu was made with crickets. Harvesting mealworms takes an incredibly small amount of space and very little resources. In fact, an area the size of Rhode Island could theoretically feed two billion people. Even with all the benefits, they're still trying to get people to eat worms. Maybe if they made it more fun, they'd have a better shot at success.

A full polarization measurement takes four exposures. If the source is variable (in polarization) within the time it takes to complete one full polarization measurement, the results will come out wrong. If, however, the instrumental gain ratio is known and stable in time (see Section 3.2), two exposures (with the halfwave plate at 0 and 22.5 degrees) are sufficient to derive the polarization vector. The gain ratio can be readily derived from a full polarization measurement (i.e. four settings of the halfwave plate) of a constant source. Tests have shown that this gain ratio (averaged over the full Dekker aperture) was stable to within 1 % during a night, except in the cutoff region of the dichroic. Do not expect the gain ratio to be the same after moving any of the optics, since the throughput of many of the optical components depends strongly on polarization and the beams within the spectrograph are highly polarized.

The Museum is an environment where the visitors can find and learn about the anthropomorphic sandstones, called “Botroidi”, collected by the pioneer of the speleology Luigi Fantini along the river Zena in the early 1900s. The geological path allows the visitors to discover the story of the Earth in a direct and engaging way, through colour – touch – smell. It’s a real journey through 80 million years of history, going from the Cretaceous to the present day and getting in contact with fossils, yellow sands and mysterious stones. In the city of Bologna, the place where the word “geology” was invented by Ulisse Aldrovandi in 1603, there is now the opportunity to find a new, fun and exciting geology. The Museum is located into the hamlet Tazzola, an ancient village dating back to 1100, along the beautiful path CAI 815, that connects the Castle of Zena and the Mount of Ants, passing the Heir Tower (built in 1100).

Genetic Engineering: The Facts In the 1970's, scientists discovered that strands of DNA could be cut using special enzymes, which could cut out genetic combinations. DNA contains information about genes particular organisms hold. Exact copies of genes can also be made through genetic engineering and are very useful for medical practices. Advances in technology have raised issues such as animal and human cloning. These issues have caused many different sided arguments. Genetic engineering is when scientists change or alter the genetic code inside of the DNA or other genetic materials. … E-pasta adrese, uz kuru nosūtīt darba saiti: Saite uz darbu:

It is more profitable to save money than to earn more money. Whenever you earn money there is a certain amount of drag and cost. An example of drag might be government forms. Suppose you sell more retail merchandise. In that case you’ll have to do some additional work calculating, collecting, banking, reporting, remitting, and bookkeeping the additional sales tax as part of your forced labor on behalf of your state, so that for every new earned dollar you must labor. An example of cost might be your cost of goods. Suppose you sold more groceries or birdhouses or teddybears. For each one you sell, you must purchase the groceries or birdhouses or teddybears, so that each newly earned dollar has some cost. But suppose that, instead of selling more stuff, you found a way to save. For example, getting a cheaper supplier, doing manufacturing with a less costly process, or shipping it more cheaply. In that case, each dollar drops directly into your pocket, with no drag nor cost. That’s why saving money is usually more profitable than earning more money. Knowing this important secret of the universe, go forth and prosper.

6.4 Test whether your content is understandable and actionable. When designing your study, think about ways to find out if your content is both understandable and actionable. To evaluate whether participants understand the content, ask them to: - Think out loud as they complete tasks - Describe what they’ve read in their own words - Describe what action they would take after reading the content Learning whether users can understand your content is a very important part of usability testing. But it doesn’t stop there—ultimately, your goal is that users will act on the health messages you created. That’s why you also need to find out if your content is actionable. With this in mind, don’t limit what you test to measures of comprehension and usability. Include a mix of quantitative and qualitative measures—for example, you can ask users: - What they would do after reading your content - How confident they are that they could do what the content is asking Qualitative measures like these also offer insight into self-efficacy, an important predictor of a user’s ability to adopt healthy behaviors.

Let’s have a look at the structure of our hair from its follicle. As shown in the diagram,the hair follicle is the sac-like anatomical structure from which hair grows. It comprises of the, - Sebaceous gland – the gland that secretes sebum which lubricates or oils the skin and hair shaft. - Arrector pili muscle – muscle which elevates the hair shaft - Root of hair – part of the hair implanted in the dermis - Papilla also known as the dermis papilla – part of the hair at the base of the hair follicle connected to the blood stream which carries nourishment for hair growth. - Connective tissue sheath – girdle enclosing the epithelial sheath and connecting to the conjunctival tissue - Epidermis – outer layer of the skin or scalp - Hair shaft – the filament that grows from the skin that we call hair I hope this will help us to understand where our hair comes from as it grows out of the scalp.

Practice the first sign for the “waving hello” and “waving bye-bye”. Show your baby the pictures of the animals one by one and say: Wave hello the doggie! Wave bye-bye to the doggie! Wave hello to the ducky! Wave bye-bye to the ducky! etc. Show how to blow a kiss! Then show pictures of the animals while saying: Wave bye-bye to the doggie! Blow a kiss with fingertips Wave up high and wave down low Wave your hand and say good-bye. And so on with other animals. You should know – Waving is the first symbol of the sign language that infants learn. – Like all languages, the words are heard and understood long before the baby can say them. So, you will have been showing him waving long before the infant can wave himself. – When at the age of about 7 months the infant starts waving it means that now he has physical coordination to wave himself. The baby waving, you can expect her to show other actions from the baby sign language.
