Content Stories of King Arthur’s Knights: Notes: Contains the legends of king Arthur and his Knights, told to the children by Mary MacGregor. Author: Mary MacGregor Editor: Louey Chisholm Publisher: T. C. & E. C. Jack, London; E. P. Dutton & Co., New York Preface: More than four hundred years ago there lived a diligent man called Sir Thomas Malory, who wrote in English words many of the beautiful Welsh tales about King Arthur’s Knights, that the people of Wales loved so well. All the stories in this little book were found in Malory’s big book, except ‘Geraint and Enid.’ But it, too, is one of the old Welsh tales that tell of the brave knights and fair ladies of King Arthur’s court. Many times, since Sir Thomas Malory wrote his book, have these stories been told again to old and young, but perhaps never before have they been told to the children so simply as in this little book.

Payag (active c. 1595-1655) Emperor Humayun seated in a landscape (detail), Mughal, c. 1650 Arthur M Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Humayun lost his Indian territories to the Pashtun noble, Sher Shah Suri, and, with Persian aid, regained them fifteen years later. Humayun's return from Persia, accompanied by a large retinue of Persian noblemen, signaled an important change in Mughal court culture, as the Central Asian origins of the dynasty were largely overshadowed by the influences of Persian art, architecture, language and literature. Subsequently, in a very short time, Humayun was able to expand the Empire further, leaving a substantial legacy for his son, Akbar.

Organic chemistry - ethanol All alcohols' consist of a hydrocarbon named 'ethanol', now ethanol is a strand made up of two carbons five hydrogen's and one OH group (hydroxol) thus ethanol is considered to be a hydrocarbon. The three main building blocks to producing alcohols are: Sugars: there are many different types of sugars some include: All three of these compounds added with ethanol can create a wide range of alcohols, anything from beer (left) to wine (right). So with any combination of any of those three bonds you can have numerous combinations added, some are best used in facto… - Clinical Chemistry Tests in Medicine - Organic chemistry - ethanol - This is a chemistry lab report on an Acid-Base Titration experiment.

Fundación CannaCommunication, Featured Fundación Canna is a non profit initiative that carries out studies and conducts research on Cannabis and its active compounds. They contacted Comodo Screen looking for help to create a video explaining how endocannabinoid system works. This system is the clue of how cannabis interacts with our body but it wasn’t easy to explain. The endocannabinoid system is one of the great unknowns of the biology of our organism. It basically is a neurotransmission system, although it is much more than that, as it can also be found in other organs and body tissues besides the brain. They wanted to spread this relevant information and they needed new tools. It was very important that everyone could understand the message, that had a clear scientific base and also that was atractive so the viewer kept its interest.

Changes in perception mean that mirrors can upset someone with dementia. He or she may believe reflections are actual people. A moving image spotted across a room may look like an intruder. Even one's own reflection may go unrecognized and be perceived as someone else, a common source of embarrassment or agitation at bath time. (Often caregivers are puzzled for weeks about what causes an upset reaction in certain circumstances, only to finally discover it was a simple reflection.) On the other hand, some people befriend their reflection and talk to it! What can you do about mirrors if they're a problem? Simply remove them from all rooms in the house. Keep handheld mirrors in drawers for your personal use. Drape a large cloth or towel over the mirror in the bathroom as needed. Remove the door on a mirrored medicine cabinet and just leave open shelving. Be sure to remove any medications that might be taken accidentally.

Asbestos awareness course and asbestos awareness training is a lifesaving training which helps hundreds upon hundreds of field workers such as field engineers, material sifters, miners, and people who are constantly in contact with various minerals. When it comes to asbestos awareness courses, the costs can range anywhere from £120 to £2000. It depends on the classes you take, the time you invest in and where you complete your course from. Asbestos awareness training is incredibly important and it is a lifesaving one time expensive which can be useful throughout your career. With a material such as Asbestos, which is incredibly dangerous to human health, proper techniques to handle, move, remove and keep an eye out for it are important to know for field workers. Health risks caused by this essentially poison outweigh the cost of taking a part of these courses. By doing these courses, you are not only saving a massive medical bill in the future (in case you are unfortunately exposed to this material) but are also doing your general health and wellbeing a favor. At the end of the day, you doing this awareness training is a great “investment” for now and for the future.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Find all solutions x,y∈ℤ to the following Diophantine equation: x^2-x=y^3 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution Hello. I am stuck in the last part of finding the solutions. I rearranged x^2-x=y^3 into x(x-1)=y^3. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic tells that since x and x-1 are coprime, and the multiple of the two is a cube, x and x-1 themselves have to be cubes. Note that the difference of the two is 1. Hence, looking through the list of possible cubes, ...-8, -1,0,1,8.... we can see that the cubes with difference of 1 are -1 and 0, and 0 and 1. My question arises here. Do I set (x-1) and x equal to the two pairs? So Pair 1: (x-1)=-1 =>x=0 x=0 and Pair 2: (x-1)=0 => x=1 x=1. Is this correct?

Our exploration of cosmic rays 70 years ago led to today’s experiments at colossal, high-energy particle accelerators. Now, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN enables collisions at about 10 teraelectronvolts, but this is only halfway between the heat energy of a summer’s day and the extreme energy found in the moment after the big bang. We would dearly love to explore the very extreme energy range, because theory tells us that’s where quantum mechanics and gravity meld into one “theory of everything”. There is no conceivable way to reproduce it in terrestrial laboratories, so if we are to explore such extremes it is likely that cosmic rays will lead the way. As a result, cosmic rays seem likely to define the high-energy frontier for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, the development of large-scale neutrino detectors is opening up a new window on the universe. Using cosmic rays as a novel form of astronomy, revealing events deep in space and far back in time, is an exciting field. A century after their discovery, cosmic rays are entering a golden age.

A University of California-Davis study asserts that more information is needed about how farmers apply nitrogen fertilizers before the state imposes potentially harmful regulations. From the UC's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources: Assessment research documents that while there are many pathways through which nitrogen can enter the environment, inorganic fertilizer use is responsible for the largest fraction of new nitrogen introduced into California annually. Currently, over 600,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizer are sold in the state each year.To read more, click here. The study is here. Information on fertilizer sales, however, is not an accurate indicator of fertilizer application, and authors found that fertilizer use data is not easy to come by — either because it is not tracked at relevant scales or because data sources are inconsistent. "We found ourselves with very limited information to understand an issue with sweeping implications for California agriculture,” says Todd Rosenstock, the article's lead author. "We dug deep to create an accurate picture of fertilizer use in the state, but the remaining gaps will require attention.” I have calls into the study's authors. For my story, check CapitalPress.com next week.

This attractive but much less lively colored “other half” of the Black-hooded Red Siskin will also produce fertile canary hybrids. The female siskin illustrates very well the dimorphic colorations common to many wild birds, being slightly orange in many of the areas showing deepest red in the male Black-hooded Red Siskin These siskins are considerably smaller than even very small canaries, and they have an unattractive wild song. As might be expected, their coloring, size, and song characteristics are transmitted to the hybrids resulting from crossing with the canary. The fancier, through selective breeding back to desirable canary stock, endeavors to eliminate unwanted siskin characteristics and at the same time retain the effects of the red coloring which produces many shades of apricot, orange, and copper.

Date of this Version Published in: SCHOOL EMPOWERMENT, ed. Michael D. Richardson, Kenneth E. Lane, & Jackson L. Flanigan. Lancaster, PA & Basel, 1995. This chapter focuses on superintendents' and school board members' perceptions of empowerment. The literature is rife with descriptions of empowerment from the perspectives of principals and teachers. Little has been written about empowerment from the perspectives of superintendents and school board members. This chapter is based on interviews conducted with school board members and superintendents from four midwestern states, as well as available literature. The school board members and superintendents who were interviewed represent districts that have had experience with empowering their staff members. Using this information, the sections include administrators' roles, school board members' roles, impact on administrative roles, definitions of empowerment, and recommendations.

Curitiba BRT Corridor Development © IPPUC Transit oriented development (TOD) refers to development activity located along or within walking distance to public transport routes that "mixes residential, retail, office, and public uses in a walkable environment, making it convenient for residents and employees to travel by transit, bicycle, or foot." The main purpose of TOD is enhancing mobility by decreasing reliance on the automobile and by encouraging use of alternate modes of transportation such as public transport, walking, and biking. Transit Oriented Developments comprise high-density developments located within walking distance (400 to 800 metres) of public transport centres (train station, metro station, light rail or tram station, bus rapid transit or bus station) with lower-density development spreading progressively outwards.

Restoring the Flying Pigeon by Thomas Yang In Maoist China, the famed Flying Pigeon bicycle was a symbol of an egalitarian social system that promised little comfort but a reliable ride through life. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the logo became synonymous with almost all bicycles in the country. The Flying Pigeon was the single most popular mechanized vehicle on the planet, becoming so ubiquitous that Deng Xiaoping - the post-Mao leader who launched China’s economic reforms in the 1970s - defined prosperity as “a Flying Pigeon in every household”. In the early 1980s, Flying Pigeon was the country’s biggest bike builder, and its 20-kilo black single-speed models were the pride of workers nationwide. There was a multi year waiting list to get one, and even then you needed good guanxi, or connections - not to mention about four months’ wages for most workers.

Waste to Energy Economic benefits with circular waste management The digestion of waste could complete a cycle of raw materials based on food production or food waste management. Waste disposals are used for the production of biogas and the biogas can substitute fossil fuels for the generation of electricity and heat – such a biogas concept provides double benefit for its plant owner! The PlanET portfolio also covers the construction and the service of waste to energy plants. Our biogas plants can process almost all organic waste materials from the food industry as well as agricultural residues or fats and oils. Especially in the food industry business sector, anaerobic digestion offers significant cost advantages over traditional disposal methods – both to waste management companies and producers alike. + + + NEW CASE STUDY AVAILABLE NOW: Read more about how a biogas entrepreneur established a close cooperation with a local waste management company!

Trump announces his intention to have the US withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement during a White House Rose Garden press conference. (Image: Ken Cedeno / Greenpeace) - Tang Wei 05.07.2017 Does US president Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement on climate change mean the end of the positive US-China relationship on global warming that was so hard-won? Closely linked to this question, is that of who will fill the leadership gap created by the US departure, and how. There is no doubt that US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement weakens global efforts to tackle climate change: it is the world’s second largest carbon-emitting nation. More positively, the US is also the most important source globally of technologies for energy conservation and emissions reduction. President Trump has quit the Paris Agreement, but cities and corporations will take the lead, argues Tang Wei

The Dangers of Early Voting The day after Comey’s announcement, the New York Times reported that 22 million Americans have already voted in this year’s presidential election. That’s more than one-sixth of the expected turnout. To put that number in perspective, 22 million is more than the margin of victory in every presidential election in American history. President Obama’s 2008 margin of victory was only 10 million votes, and even Ronald Reagan’s “morning in America” landslide was only 15 million votes. Early voting began when a few states stopped requiring voters to provide a good excuse for obtaining an absentee ballot. Then a few more states began to set up special polling places for no-excuse early voting. In several states, most ballots are returned by mail long before Election Day.

While Constantine at the beginning of his reign (313) declared complete religious liberty, and kept on the whole to this declaration, yet he confined his favours to the orthodox hierarchical church, and even by an edict of the year 326 formally asserted the exclusion from these of heretics and schismatics. Cyprian was the first to proclaim the identity of heretics and schismatics by making a man's Christianity depend on his belonging to the great episcopal church confederation. The distinction between heretics and schismatics was preserved because it prevented a public denial of the old principles, because it was advisable on political grounds to treat certain schismatic communities with indulgence, and because it was always possible in case of need to prove heresy against the schismatics."(Harnack's History of Dogma, ii. As even" the Christian virtues of the heretics were described as hypocrisy Heretical . Tertullian declares that the church can have no communion with the heretics, for there is nothing common; as they have not the same God, and the same Christ, so they have not the same baptism (De bapt.

A new study has found a strong correlation between autism and hours spent watching television by young children. For all the theoretical mechanisms that (falsely) implicated thimerosal-containing vaccines, it turns out the culprit may be something even more familiar and seemingly benign than the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine. Ninety-eight percent of American households had at least one television in 2001. The study, as summarized by Gregg Easterbrook at Slate: “[…] the study has two separate findings: that having cable television in the home increased autism rates in California and Pennsylvania somewhat, and that more hours of actually watching television increased autism in California, Oregon, and Washington by a lot.” Of course, even strong correlation is not a causal link. More investigation needs to be done by independent researchers. But in the meantime, I think it would be wise to heed the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics and keep children under two away from the TV. They’re pretty sure it increases attention disorders, why risk autism too?

The Drakensberger is a medium-frame beef animal with a smooth coat, strikingly long and deep body with a mild temperament. It is one of only three indigenous cattle breeds in South Africa. The Drakensberger is totally unrelated to any breed in the world today and is the culmination of the development process through strict selection, based on scientific norms. The breed has been developed over hundreds of years to perform under Southern African conditions. The history of this extremely hardy indigenous breed is confirmed by the fact that it had to survive the Great Trek, a time during which no vaccines, antibiotics and tick remedies were available. The Drakensberger cattle breed was officially founded with the establishment of the South African Drakensberger Cattle Breeders' Society on 7 November 1947.

The tiger is the largest cat in the world and a fascinating creature. It is the favorite animal of many people and the national animal of India and understandably so. It is deadly, majestic, agile and beautiful. However, this species is severely endangered: there are fewer than 4,000 individuals remaining in the wild, down from 100,000 in early 20th century. There are many reasons for their disappearance, including habitat destruction and fragmentation, and poaching. Which subspecies of tiger is most endangered? There are officially ten tiger subspecies, though one became extinct in prehistory. Of the remaining nine, three (the Bali, Caspian and Javan tigers) became extinct at some point during the 20th century, and the remaining six are currently endangered. The largest surviving subspecies today are Bengal tigers, with a rough population estimate of 2,500 – in comparison, there are only 65 South China tigers, all in captivity, and no reported wild sightings of this particular subspecies in over 25 years. As such, the South China tiger is already considered functionally extinct.

Author(s): Nakanishi S Abstract Share this page Abstract The glutamate receptors mediate excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and are important in memory acquisition, learning, and some neurodegenerative disorders. This receptor family is classified in three groups: the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA)-kainate, and metabotropic receptors. Recent molecular studies have shown that many receptor subtypes exist in all three groups of the receptors and exhibit heterogeneity in function and expression patterns. This article reviews the molecular and functional diversity of the glutamate receptors and discusses their implications for integrative brain function. This article was published in Science and referenced in Journal of Gastrointestinal & Digestive System

Each of the GPS satellites that allow me to navigate to a new restaurant carries an atomic clock that needs to be accurate in order to triangulate the speed and position of my moving car. But there are a couple of problems. Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity predicts that clocks hurtling through space at satellite speed will appear to tick more slowly than earthbound clocks by about 7,000 nanoseconds each day (a nanosecond is a billionth of a second). His Theory of General Relativity, on the other hand, predicts that clocks farther from a massive object (the Earth), will advance faster than clocks on the ground, in this case by a little more than 45,000 nanoseconds. If the GPS system fails to compensate for the 38,000-nanosecond difference predicted by an eccentric German physicist, errors in global positioning would increase by about 6 miles each day. In 23 days, my restaurant in Washington, D.C., might mistakenly show up in Philadelphia. This is the oddness of modern physics invading the everyday world.

Water/water heat pumps A water/water heat pump uses the energy of the groundwater. A suction unit pumps groundwater to a heat pump from an extraction well. The heat of the groundwater is used to heat the building and domestic hot water. The cooled groundwater passes through the absorption wells back into the natural cycle. In general, already existing wells can be used for this heat pump system. Drilling is not necessary for the installation of an extraction and absorption well. However, the quantity and quality of groundwater must be checked. Water/water heat pumps work very efficiently due to the high average temperature of groundwater of about 10 °C all year round. An appropriately equipped heat pump can also be used in summer for cooling rooms.

Fire in Argentina Thursday, 05 January 2017 Type of Event: Location of Event: Date of Charter Activation: 5 January 2017 Time of Charter Activation: Time zone of Charter Activation: SIFEM - Secretaría Nacional de Protección Civil de Argentina Description of the event In a little over 2 weeks 1 million hectares have been consumed by wildfires in Argentina. The most affected areas include Buenos Aires, the central province of Pampa and the southern province of Rio Negro. Rash wildfires began in late December 2016 and have spread across rural landscapes creating huge smoke plumes. The fires are thought to have been started by thunderstorms following a period of drought in the summer. It is estimated that there are currently around 10 or more fires which are still continuing to burn and billow out huge amounts of smoke. There are also concerns that the fires may have lead to the death of approximately 80% of wild animals in La Pampa. Wildfires in these rural areas are not uncommon, and Argentina's National Fire Management service are monitoring the fire and assessing the total size of the affected area.

Source: circle of blue Millions more people could live in poverty within the next 15 years as climate change reduces food security around the world, according to a report from the United Nations. India’s Supreme Court will continue deliberations this week over the Cauvery River water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Farmers in Punjab are searching for less water-intensive crops as groundwater supplies drop beyond reach. Concerns about groundwater in Ontario led the province to propose a moratorium on bottled water plants. Low water levels along the Rhine River have disrupted shipping and contributed to high transportation costs. Construction equipment for the controversial Dakota Access oil pipeline was set on fire in Iowa. “The infrastructure to deliver water to the farmers is centuries-old and has very low conveyance efficiency. This needs to be modernized for optimal use of scarce water.” –Excerpt from a report prepared by a high-level government panel in India that will inform the Supreme Court’s deliberations over a water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The panel concluded that both states are enduring water shortages, and asked that each “appreciate” the other’s water interests. (Hindustan Times)

Baltimore Rowhouse Perhaps no other American city is so defined by an indigenous architectural style as Baltimore is by the rowhouse, whose brick facades march up and down the gentle hills of the city. Why did the rowhouse thrive in Baltimore? How did it escape destruction here, unlike in many other historic American cities? What were the forces that led to the citywide renovation of Baltimore’s rowhouses? The Baltimore Rowhouse is the fascinating 200-year story of this building type. It chronicles the evolution of the rowhouse from its origins as speculative housing for immigrants, through its reclamation and renovation by young urban pioneers thanks to local government sponsorship, to its current occupation by a new cadre of wealthy professionals. The Baltimore Rowhouse was winner of the 2000 Maryland Historical Trust Heritage Book Award for outstanding books of scholarly or general interest.

Researchers at University of Edinburgh and Italian National Research Council's ITAE research institute have developed a prototype solar powered fridge that can allow delivery of life saving vaccines to the remote areas of developing countries. The researchers revealed that the system can generate up to 5kgs of ice every day and can store vaccines at 20 C to 80 C for up to three days, the minimum time set by World Health Organization. The researchers hope that their project will lead to the development of a more compact and market-attractive prototype in the future. "We are pleased by the results obtained so far on the proof-of-concept prototype. We are now seeking to develop a first generation commercial version which combines the solar thermal and adsorption based technologies", Dr Giulio Santori, of the University of Edinburgh, said.

One type of time travel that happens daily is seeing into the past: Light’s speed is limited, so the Universe is full of images from distant eras. A few of everyday examples are: - We see the Moon as it was 1.5 seconds ago. - We see the Sun as it was eight minutes ago. - We stars as they were up to 13 billionyears ago. So here’s a thought: If we could locate a huge reflective surface 32.5 million light years away*, and focus an incredibly powerful telescope on it, we could see the dinosaurs. Although re-watching Jurassic Park would be simpler... *32.5 million yars for the image of Earth to reach it, and 32.5 million years for the light to be reflected back equals 65 million

Self-esteem is a term used in Psychology to reflect a person’s overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own self worth. Self-esteem encompasses a variety of emotions and beliefs in ones abilities. Self-esteem will always arise when we begin to feel unworthy and it’s usually through an innate lack of emotional support. It’s the support network around us that helps build our confidence. Self-esteem gives us the opportunity to reflect on our values and how we see ourselves, our thoughts and feelings too as we go about our daily lives. We know we have self-esteem when we can feel comfortable in our own skin, enough to to appreciate and respect ourselves and our values. But if we’re feeling inferior or inadequate, or if we’re struggling with confidence issues, we self-doubt and we’re critical, then we know we’re dealing with low self-esteem issues. Because when we feel good about ourselves and have the confidence to match without the ego, we know we’re not dealing with self-esteem issues.

Tree pests and diseases pose the biggest threat to timber plantation productivity. Controlling pests and diseases in over a million hectares of plantations is no small task, and every year in South Africa, the industry spends tens of millions of Rands on pest and disease control. Bacteria, fungi, insects, parasites, weeds and animals can all become pests, if their influence disrupts the timber plantation’s productivity or its commercial viability. Yet one group – insects – seems to have a far more devastating effect than any other. Thanks to a suite of options, ranging from changing the tree species, to a host of biological and pesticide control methods, managing pest species in South Africa’s timber plantations is not only improved, it’s now also done in ways that minimises unintentional environmental and social impacts. With legislation becoming ever more stringent, pest and disease management options need to be increasingly more effective as well as pest or disease specific. To this end, partnerships with academic institutions have become one of the most exciting aspects of forestry. Together, we are constantly improving our understanding of pests and diseases, while developing new approaches to manage them.

Montauk Point Lighthouse has long been one of Montauk's most treasured sites, and yesterday it finally got its well deserved recognition. According to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, the U.S. Department of the Interior has designated the lighthouse as Long Island's 12th National Historic Landmark. The lighthouse was built back in 1796 under the orders of President George Washington, and has since stood as New York's oldest lighthouse. The light was essential during the 18th century when New York Harbor was the receiving port for imported British goods. Senator Gillibrand, who has been the driving force behind getting the site its landmark status said, “This is great news. The importance of this iconic lighthouse, which helped make New York Harbor the nation’s premier port, is indisputable. Montauk Point Lighthouse can finally take its rightful place as one of our National Historic Landmarks.” The newly achieved status is said to increase tourism in the area, making the upcoming summer in Montauk even more crowded than before. This might not be the best news for those city folk (GofG staff included) who migrate out there every summer.

Venus Flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) will often split themselves into two or more corms each growing season. These young corms will grow faster than seed-grown plants, but if natural divisions are still too slow for your liking you may wish to try scape cuttings. Flower scapes come up in spring. When they are about 10cm to 20cm high, remove them from the main plant by pulling gently until they snap off. You may need to hold the plant down as you pull to prevent the whole thing from being uprooted. Stick the scape vertically into living sphagnum moss or dried sphagnum moss which has been well-soaked. Wait for a few months. If the scapes don’t wither almost immediately, several plantlets will form around their base. Separate the plants out when they are old enough. Some growers have reported success with scapes that have been cut off the plant with a scissors or razor blade. Sphagnum moss peat with perlite may also work as a medium for scape cuttings but success is not guaranteed. Experiments are in progress.

These 3D-printed soft robots can bounce without breaking. Deep sea exploration isn’t just for marine biologists anymore. Saturn’s moon Titan is covered in seas of liquid hydrocarbons, and Europa and Enceladus likely harbor immense subglacial oceans. Here’s a look at some of the space submarine concepts devised by NASA and others to explore our Solar System’s alien seas. Meet the floppy octobot of the future. It's cuddly, and it can move objects up to 10 times its size! Soft robotics could allow robots in the future to grasp specimens from the seabed without harming marine ecosystems in the process.

The Boys and Girls Club of America has chosen the Carl & Alleen McKinney Unit Torch Club for a National Merit Award and $500. The project is doing research on Northwest Arkansas’ indigenous bird species to discover if any species are leaving our area or endangered due to lack of resources, pollution…. They built 10 bird feeders and fill with feed that would be appropriate for the birds in the region. One feeder was placed in the NWA Community College nature area, one on the McKinney Unit campus, and the other 8 feeders were assigned to individual Torch Club members to take home and place in their yards. Members are observing and recording which bird species are in the area and collecting data on how many species they see. Through research and the use of a field data manual that the Torch Club will build through their research, data will be available on what bird feeds seems to draw particular species to their feeder. Data will continue to be collected through the spring semester and feeders will be rotated throughout Northwest Arkansas. The Torch Club will present this data at the Northwest Arkansas Community College Environmental Biology Class led by Dr. Galloway. of our club members report finding valuable adult connections at the club.

Great Exhibition - 1886 Great Exhibition of 1886, held in the Meadows, Edinburgh, included a reproduction of streets with 44 buildings from the Old Town of Edinburgh in the seventeenth century, including: Cardinal Beaton's House The Nether Bow was intended that this part of the Great Exhibition should remain as a permanent feature of The Meadows after the exhibition closed, but planning controls prohibited the any permanent buildings on this site so the old buildings were removed when the exhibition closed. of these buildings were produced by Marshall Wane as cabinet prints and cartes de visite. A couple of decades later, Marshall Wane produced the same images as postcards.

The Sun is the starting point of the human experience. He is the light which lights up everything else – consciousness itself. Synonyms for “consciousness” are: identity, ego, soul. Here are the primary areas of life the Sun therefore controls: - Heart – The “heart” is really another synonym for soul, ego, and identity… consciousness. - Physical Heart / Health – The physical heart is the organ of central and most vital importance to the health of the entire body. The Sun, as the center of the solar system, represents this. Also, the Sun bestows light and warmth, without which life is impossible – so he represents vitality. - Authority – Everything revolves around the Sun, and no other planet is self-luminous – everyone else gets their light by reflecting what the Sun shines onto them. As such the Sun represents: The leader – boss, king, head of the household, the authority figure, the person whom we reply upon for sustenance, the father. – Vic DiCara

Mar 2, 2001, 6:37 PM Post #2 of 2 When in doubt, put parentheses around just about anything. But in this case it is safe to leave them out because =~ is stronger than || so it will behave like you want. The warning I gave about || was in an open statement where because the || is stronger than an 'or' there will be a change to the statement if the parentheses is missing. These three statements will all do the same thing... open (DATA, 'filename') || die; open (DATA, 'filename') or die; open DATA, 'filename' or die; But these two statements are different from the first. Without the parentheses around the open statement, the || works on the two things surrounding it. So if you use the first one you are really getting something that behaves like the second one... open DATA, 'filename' || die; open DATA, ('filename' || die); Sun Sep 9, 2001 - 1:46:40 GMT, a very special second in the epoch. How will you celebrate?

When creating a design for an object like a bottle, you'll need to make a prototype. Rapid prototyping processes are expensive and require heavy machines and special materials, and clay modelling is not something that's in every designer's skillset. Cardboard prototypes are much easier to work with. In the following tutorial we'll show you the process of making a sliceform prototype. This kind of model costs very little and the only tools you need are a computer, printer, calliper and scissors or scalpel. Many people think you have to calculate and draw each slice to make these sliceform shapes, but there are computer programs that make this process much easier for you. What's great about this way of prototyping is that you can reshape a model quickly and also use this method for all sorts of different prototypes, not just for packaging.

- The biggest supermassive black hole has been discovered by NASA in February 2016!!! - In the center of the galaxy, NGC 4889, which is one of many in the Coma Cluster about 300 million light years away, this supermassive black hole has been noticed. - According to NASA it’s 21 billion times the mass of the sun. Compared to our own black hole in the Milky Way which is about 4 million times the mass of the sun. - The size was measured by the velocity of the stars moving around the black hole, since you can’t actually SEE the black hole itself. - Why!?!?!? Because light cannot escape from a black hole, due to the gravitational pull. - Right now this black hole is believed to be stationary and NOT expanding in size. - The remaining gas that doesn’t fall into the black hole is calmly in orbit and forming new stars. - However if this galaxy collides with another, that can cause the black hole to reactivate!! According to Roeland van der Mare. Photo and information from: www.eastidahonews.com Other information from: NASA.com, CNN.com

Average True Range (ATR) A measure of volatility introduced by Welles Wilder in his book: "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems." The True Range indicator is the greatest of the following: Current high less the current low. The absolute value of the current high less the previous close. The absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The Average True Range is a moving average (generally 14-days) of the True Ranges. Wilder originally developed the ATR for commodities but the indicator can also be used for Forex. Simply put, a currency experiencing a high level of volatility will have a higher.

India's state-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is planning to set up the country's first dedicated facility for testing unmanned air vehicle (UAV) technologies near Chitradurga in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. Chitradurga lies close to Bangalore - home to a large number of defence and aerospace establishments - which weighed heavily in the DRDO's decision to set up the facility there. It is expected to cost Rp8.5 billion ($216 million) and become operational in the next five years. It is envisaged that the centre will be used to test small, micro, flapping-wing and long-range UAV designs. Significantly, the Chitradurga range is expected to be involved in the development of India's first medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV. The DRDO has to date developed two UAVs - Nishant and Lakshya - both of which have entered production. Lakshya, an aerial target system, is being used for DRDO missile tests. The Nishant, meanwhile, can fly continuously for up to six hours and photograph potential targets, including at night. The DRDO is developing an improved version of the Lakshya.

The ACLU intervened in Nix v Holder (previously Laroque v Holder) on behalf of residents of Kinston, N.C. and the North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP in order to ensure that the Voting Rights Act is protected and upheld. The case challenges the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act. Since 1965, Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act has been protecting racial and language minorities’ access to voting. It requires jurisdictions like Kinston that have a history of discriminatory voting practices to obtain approval, or preclearance, before changing their election laws. Section 5 has been challenged in the past, but its constitutionality has consistently been upheld by the Supreme Court. Congress last extended Section 5 in 2006, and according to the 2006 congressional report, without Section 5 “racial and language minority citizens will be deprived of the opportunity to exercise their right to vote, or will have their votes diluted, undermining the significant gains made by minorities in the last 40 years.”

What is bad? But I have said this already: all that comes of weakness, of envy, of revenge. The anarchist and the Christian have the same origin. (October 15, 1844 – August 25, 1900), was a German philosopher. He wrote critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science, using a distinctive style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. His style, and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth, raise considerable problems of interpretation, generating an extensive secondary literature in both continental and analytic philosophy. Nonetheless, his key ideas include interpreting tragedy as an affirmation of life, an eternal recurrence that has fallen into numerous interpretations, a reversal of Platonism, and a repudiation of Christianity as it was in the 19th century.

Orange Montastrea cavernosa recruits? lesk at bio.bu.edu Tue Jul 25 16:03:21 EDT 2000 A number of us have been looking at this orange flourescence for a while now, but have not seen this particular example. The flourescent pigments are in the polyp; they are sometimes revealed when corals are bleached. A very similar phenomenon can, for example, sometimes be seen in Agaricia near silt chutes on shelf edge drop-offs. It is especially startling when the corals are flourescing bright orange in deep water. More information about the Coral-list-old

An amulet is a personal ornament which, because of its shape, material, or colour, is believed to endow its wearer with certain powers or capabilities and offer protection. The Egyptian words for 'amulet' come primarily from words meaning 'to guard' or 'protect' and also 'well being'. Thoth (also known as Djeheuty, Tehuti, Tahuti, and Zehuti) was one of the most popular Egyptian gods and had multiple roles in Egyptian mythology. He was the god of wisdom, writing and the moon, the god of magic, ritual and medicine, and the god of the dead. He guided and illuminated the way for the dead in the underworld, and protected the living in the world above. Large numbers of Thoth figurine amulets have been found in all parts of Egypt. © Science Museum / Science & Society Picture Library

(Photo: Simon Fraser University) 15-year old Nicole Ticea is a student at the York House School in Vancouver, Canada. Her contribution to a science fair won her first place at the regional Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge. But more importantly, she’s invented something that could saves lives. It’s a simple test that examines a drop of blood for signs of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Simon Fraser University officials described it as “nearly as simple as a pregnancy test.” The success of her project has encouraged Ticea to continue her work as a health scientist: Ticea said the project took hours of scientific research and lab experiments, which she juggled along with schoolwork, sports and extracurricular activities. But she said all the hard work, and even giving up her social life, was well worth it. “Being in the lab really reinforced what I already knew,” Ticea said. “That scientific research involves dedication, determination, long hours and a deep-rooted love for the field that makes sacrifices worthwhile.” -via Huffington Post

Has some good information and answers some of the basic questions about the tropical milkweed that is central to this whole issue, and some good advice and resources for those who want to learn more: Thursday, January 15, 2015 A monarch caterpillar feeds on tropical milkweed, Asclepias curassavica. As well-meaning gardeners have heeded the call and planted lots of milkweed plants to help the monarchs, it turns out that the species of milkweed we have been planting the most has been leading to the proliferation of a parasite that is infecting and weakening these beloved insect ambassadors, and further reducing their populations.

Written to address technical concerns that mobile developers face regardless of the platform (J2ME, WAP, Windows CE, etc.), this book explores the differences between mobile and stationary applications and the architectural and software development concepts needed to build a mobile application. Using UML as a tool, Reza B'far guides the developer through the development process, showing how to document the design and implementation of the application. He focuses on general concepts, while using platforms as examples or as possible tools. After introducing UML, XML, and derivative tools necessary for developing mobile software applications, B'far shows how to build user interfaces for mobile applications. He covers location sensitivity, wireless connectivity, mobile agents, data synchronization, security, and push-based technologies, and finally homes in on the practical issues of mobile application development including the development cycle for mobile applications, testing mobile applications, architectural concerns, and a case study.

"The Structure of the Universe" Creation Discovery Project / back to articles page / back to CDP home page - 14. The Structure of the Universe - Koo suspects that when every direction is mapped that we may be inside a series of bubbles or shells. He says that it will take a lot of hard work to figure out how the universe could generate these great bubbles. - Itís actually not that difficult. There is a book that tells us already. It is called the Bible. The idea that the universe could be structured so well at such vast distances is difficult for evolutionists to accept. Another word for structure is ĎDesigní. If we can see design at these vast distances it means that by all reasonable understanding of the universe, there must be a designer.

Rania Sallum, 58, was struck by a large, dark-colored SUV Wednesday around 7:20 a.m. Sallum could not see the driver or read the license plate, but she knows that she was struck by the front right bumper of the vehicle, which then slowed almost to a stop before speeding off. She estimates that the incident occurred between 7:15 and 7:25 a.m. A hit-and-run bulletin and vehicle description went out to all officers. Three police teams spotted vehicles with front right bumper damage. Simulate the use of an event data recorder (EDR) in order to show how the evidence gathered by this device can be used for legal purposes. Show how accident scenes can be recreated through an analysis of the data that are gathered by an EDR. Learn how distance traveled, velocity, and acceleration are related to one another.

Some of the theories behind why pigs have curly tails revolve around an evolutionary need for survival. Curly tails would have been harder to bite on to during fights, thus reducing the risk of injury and infection. But it seems that nature gave pigs a built-in GHD in case they wanted to change look for a big night out. And all it takes is a little finger running down the base of their back. Now, if they could find what gene was responsible for this porcine witchcraft and put it hairspray, that company would make a motza.

WASHINGTON, June 30, 2014 -- The Fourth of July is just days away, and that means millions of Americans will soon enjoy eye-popping fireworks displays around the country. These dazzling light shows are actually carefully crafted chemical reactions. This week's Reactions episode features John Conkling, Ph.D., the professor who literally wrote the book on pyrotechnics. In the video, Conkling explains the chemistry that creates those amazing fireworks displays. The video is available at http://www.

1. The radial distribution function for the 1s orbital of the hydrogen atom is given by the equation below. Where a = the Bohr radius. What is the most probable distance from the nucleus for an electron in this orbital? 2. P(r) = 4r^2 (1/a)^3 exp(-2/a) 3. Setting dP/dr = 0, I know you'll get ((r-r^2)/a) exp(-2r/a) = 0 so you'd get something like (4/a^3)((2r exp-2r/a) + r^2 (exp-2/a)exp(-2r/a) What should I get as the 2nd derative? I know if I set the r = 0 for the 2nd der. i get the minimun. If r = a I get the maximum, so the actual distance would be a, but an explanation through the actual steps would be greatly appreciated.

The latest news from the BBC and their technical editor Rory Cellan-Jones:- Analysis: Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC technology editor The company first indicated that the “sustained” attack was a DDoS, a distributed denial of service attack where a website is bombarded with waves of traffic. That did not seem to explain the loss of data, and later TalkTalk indicated that there had also been what is known as an SQL injection. This is a technique where hackers gain access to a database by entering instructions in a web form. It is a well known type of attack and there are relatively simple ways of defending against it. Many security analysts were stunned by the idea that any major company could still be vulnerable to SQL injection. (My highlight)

Friday, July 23, 2010 New Zealand - Kiwi A native bird of New Zealand. Kiwis are nocturnal and are a protected species. Sent by Michelle, a postcrosser from Christchurch in New Zealand. This is from Wikipedia : Kiwi are flightless birds endemic to New Zealand, in the genus Apteryx and family Apterygidae. At around the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites and lay the largest egg in relation to their body size of any species of bird in the world. There are five recognised species, all of which are endangered; all species have been adversely affected by historic deforestation but currently large areas of their forest habitat are well protected in reserves and national parks. At present, the greatest threat to their survival is predation by invasive mammalian predators. The kiwi is a national symbol of New Zealand – indeed, the association is so strong that the term Kiwi is used, all over the world, as the colloquial demonym for New Zealanders.

BENEFITING: NAROPA UNIVERSITY Every year students in the Alternative Break Course are given an alternative to the “traditional” spring break experience, instead engaging in a week of volunteer service with their peers. This year they will address poverty and housing insecurity on the Pine Ridge Reservation, while learning about the culture of the Lakota people. Why Pine Ridge? - The median income is approximately $2,600 to $3,500 per year and 97% of our Lakota people live below the poverty line - 1/3 of the homes lack basic clean water and sewage while 40% lack electricity - There is an estimated average of 17 people living in each family home, even though these homes may only have two to three rooms - The Lakota language is an Endangered Language and many of the beautiful and powerful traditions of the Lakota people are being lost When students return home, they reflect on the experience and share with their community about what they have learned. They also identify how they plan to make a sustained and continuous commitment to service.

About 84 percent of consumers think of “green” products as those that are made of recyclable or reusable material, or include such packaging, according to new research from Grail Research. About 78 percent associate “green” products as being energy efficient or using renewable energy, according to “The Green Revolution” report (PDF). Another top association for consumers was that green products are made with natural or organic ingredients. About 71 percent of consumers made that association. When it comes to water, however, only 30 percent of consumers considered reducing water use to be a green practice, according to the report.

Russia has an estimated total of 100 large mountain cats, which are in the Red Book of Endangered Species. Sergei Spitsyn said the main reason is an insufficient number of forest rangers and rampant poaching, adding that local residents often see helicopters that are used for illegal hunting. Snow leopards are hunted for their skin, meat and bones, which are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Weighing usually 35 to 55 kilograms, the snow leopard is slightly smaller than a leopard. Exceptional large males can weigh up to 75 kg. The head and body length is 100 to 130 cm, and the shoulder height is about 60 cm. The total estimated wild snow leopard population is between 4,000 and 7,500. In addition, there are 600-700 animals in zoos around the world.

American blacks were given the right to vote on February 3, 1870 by the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution. While this amendment aimed to give all blacks this freedom, the South unfairly limited voting by enforcing literacy tests, poll taxes and other obstacles.Continue Reading The voting blocks put in place in the South remained there for almost a century. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 eliminated tests, fees and other unfair obstacles and allowed the majority of blacks in the South to register to vote. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed on June 4, 1919, winning the battle for women's suffrage.Learn more about US History

The Declaring Classes page obliquely refers to Inheritance and Interfaces, but just as the previous page on this topic said very little on why you would use an Interface, and when you would use one instead of or as well as a superclass, this page also assumes you would know when and why you would use either or both constructs. To be fair there is a promise to talk about them later: "The lesson on interfaces and inheritance will explain how and why you would use the extends and implements keywords", but there are two things wrong with the promise. First there is no hyperlink, so the reader is left to scurry around looking for lessons "on interfaces and inheritance". Second, we have already lessons on interfaces and inheritance, which say very little about how and why when you would use one rather than the other. My general observation of these tutorials is that the language mechanics are better described than the more abstract ideas. This applies to the Defining Methods page, which sets out the rules quite clearly.

Assistive Technology in the Classroom: Enhancing the School Experiences of Students with Disabilities With an emphasis on the integration of assistive technology into the curriculum, this text focuses on how assistive technology can be used in schools to enhance the teaching and learning of students with disabilities. This link between technology and teaching and learning drives the book’s organization as well as its content. It is organized by school-related tasks that students must perform on a daily basis to be successful -- reading, writing, practicing academic skills, and communicating with their teachers and peers – and presents descriptions of technology-based solutions to the obstacles students with disabilities face in completing these tasks. Since being able to access computers is one major barrier, the text features a section on making computers accessible to students with a wide range of disabilities. A companion web site offers up-to-date information on product names, vendors, web site addresses, and other time-sensitive material.

Therefore A parabola is an extreme case of an ellipse and is the first open conic section. For any parabola: Therefore, for any closed orbit, By the same token, a and e can predict Q and q. Subtracting the first equation from the second yields From the above: For , , the orbital radius, as one would expect.

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. 2008 January 3 Explanation: Dust from curious near-Earth asteroid 3200 Phaethon seems to fall from the constellation Gemini in this fisheye skyview. The composite image was recorded over four December nights (12-15) just last year from Ludanyhalaszi, Hungary. Of course, the streaks are meteor trails from the annual Geminids meteor shower. The work of astronomer Erno Berko, the finished picture combines 113 different frames and captures 123 separate meteors. The Geminids is one of the northern skies most reliably performing meteor showers and did not disappoint last year. Under good conditions some skywatchers reported well over 100 meteors per hour near the December 14/15 peak for the Geminids in 2007. Look up tonight and you might see the 2008 Quadrantids.

The circuit of Cypros is three thousand four hundred and twenty stadia, including the sinuosities of the gulfs. The length from Cleides to the Acamas by land, travelling from east to west, is one thousand four hundred stadia. The Cleides are two isles lying off Cypros opposite the eastern parts of the island, which are seven hundred stadia distant from the Pyramus. The Acamas is a promontory with two breasts and much timber. It is situated at the western part of the island, and extends towards the north; it lies closest to Selinus in Cilicia Tracheia, the passage across being one thousand stadia, whereas the passage across to Side in Pamphylia is one thousand sixteen hundred and to the Chelidonian islands one thousand nine hundred. The shape of the island as a whole is oblong; and in some places it forms isthmuses on the sides which define its breadth. But the island also has its several parts, which I shall describe briefly, beginning with the point that is nearest to the mainland.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data The drawing shows a rectangular block of glass (n = 1.52) surrounded by liquid carbon disulfide (n = 1.63). A ray of light is incident on the glass at point A with a = 36.0° angle of incidence. At what angle of refraction does the ray leave the glass at point B? Please explain a way to reach the solution for this problem. I tried using the equation: n2*sin(36) / n1 pic: http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/900/13113445ga1.png [Broken] 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution not sure why this would not work: sin(B) = n1/n2 * sin(a) so, 1.63/1/52 * sin(36) comes to 39.1 degrees?? please correct me if this is incorrect. However, the answer doesn't seem to be accurate. This is the angle that is refracted from the glass at B correct? thanks.

Answer to agriculture sector development is to change the way young people view agriculture – FAO country Rep The FAO’s Country Representative, Dr. Lystra Fletcher-Paul says linking agriculture to most of the subjects offered in schools will help to dispel the myth that agriculture is an industry of backbreaking work. Dr. Fletcher-Paul believes highlighting career opportunities in the agriculture sector in an attractive way could earn the interest of young people. Just last month CARICOM released a report warning that the region’s Food Import Bill is increasing at a rate of 7 percent a year. The FAO Country Representative is of the opinion that one solution to this increased burden can be local farmers working together to supply the needs of the region. The CARICOM report stated that its 15 members spent 2.8 billion dollars to import food just a year ago, which is more than a 50 percent increase from 2005. The regional body attributed the rise to increased quantities and higher prices. According to CARICOM, most of the food comes from the United States, followed by Europe and Canada. On the issue of food security, the Food and Agriculture Organisation feels this can become a problem in the near future if not properly managed.

Good News for People and Animals The Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it is reducing its reliance on animal testing to assess human risk of chemical toxicity. Instead, the EPA will focus more heavily on new tools available through advances in molecular biology, genomics and computational modeling. It’s part of the agency’s move to use better, cheaper and faster ways to screen thousands of chemicals for human risk, including the impact of long-term exposure. Former testing costs that could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars will now drop to about $20,000. This will facilitate, for example, screening individual food-use pesticides for endocrine disruption, as may be required by the end of this year. Also, “For people who are developing green chemistry, this may allow them to look for an alternative chemical and profile that chemical,” at a doable cost, advises Robert Kavlock, director of the EPA’s computational toxicology program. Kavlock believes that useful applications will be active within two years. He notes that animal testing will still be used for some things for the foreseeable future, but in smarter ways.

Streaked horned lark (Eremophila alpestris strigata) The horned lark has a dark brown back, yellow face and breast with a dark facial mask and breast band, and tiny black feather tufts on the back of its head. This subspecies of horned lark lives only in the coastal plains of BC, Washington and Oregon. In BC, it lives in the lower Fraser Valley and on southeastern Vancouver Island, although since in 2002 only one male was observed in a historical breeding area on the Island, it is now considered as extirpated. Horned larks nest on the ground and inhabit similar areas as do vesper sparrows : grasslands such as Garry oak meadows . Like the vesper sparrow, horned larks were probably never common in BC, but with the widespread loss of grassland habitats, it is now on the brink of extinction. The population in Washington and Oregon is now thought to total only about 200 - 300 individuals, and in all areas these numbers are dropping. Loss of nesting habitat is the prime threat to the species, along with predation by domestic and feral cats. Additional Information © Image courtesy of Jean-Guy Dallaire

Decarbonization refers to carbon-free sources of energy ultimately taking over from, and eliminating the need for, carbon handling and storage. Although decarbonization and energy de-intensification are responsible for relative reductions in energy emissions, they are not enough to offset the absolute emissions increases and projected emissions associated with the world's energy needs, especially those required for further economic development. The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) will prepare practical national deep decarbonization pathways to 2050, consistent with the 2°C target associated with the Copenhagen Accord of 2009. This will help participating countries identify their own cost-effective transition path to a low carbon future.

525: Revised 1982 Department of Plant Pathology, Department of Agronomy In 1948, M. W. Adams and G. Semeniuk recognized the economic potential of introducing alfalfa into ranges and pastures of the more arid parts of South Dakota. They initiated a breeding program directed toward developing very hardy, disease resistant alfalfas which would persist indefinitely when grazed by livestock. Travois is an outgrowth of that program and is believed to meet these requirements. Travois Alfalfa, Grazing Alfalfa South Dakota Experiment Station, South Dakota State University Vigil, F. G.; Pollmann, R.; and Boe, A., "Travois: An Alfalfa for Grazing" (1982). Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011). 526.

If a metal is 24-karat gold, it’s entirely pure, unalloyed gold. All other karat indicators denote the percentage of gold to alloy out of 24 parts. Fourteen-karat gold is slightly more than 50 percent pure, while 10-karat gold is slightly less than 50 percent pure. Ten karat gold is the minimum concentration that jewelers can market as gold jewelry in the United States. Fourteen karat gold is generally the standard for American jewelry makers. High-end gold jewelry in Europe and the United States is often made from 18-karat gold. Higher karat gold, such as 21-karat gold, has a brilliant yellow color and is popular throughout parts of Asia. Twenty-four-karat gold is not very practical for use in jewelry because pure gold is very malleable.Learn more about Precious Metals & Gems

Attempted military coup in Japan. Young extremists of the Imperial Way faction (Kodo-ha) had been active within the Japanese army since the late 1920s, intent on using violent means to overthrow the conservative civilian government and set Japan on a course of military expansion, particularly in China. Their activities culminated in the attempted coup in which several prominent politicians were murdered (the Prime Minister Okada Keisuke only escaping through a case of mistaken identity) and much of central Tokyo seized. The revolt was put down on 29 February and most of its leaders executed, after which leadership of the military expansionist cause passed to the more moderate Control faction (Tosei-ha).

Owls are a widely distributed group of birds of prey broadly characterized by large heads, flat faces, forward-directed eyes, hooked beaks, strong legs, sharp claws, and soft feathers. Owls spend the night hunting a variety of small mammals and birds. In cultures worldwide, the owl is a symbol of wisdom, power, intuition, mystery, protection, messages and change. Birds, in general, are often thought of as mediators between the material and spiritual worlds and owls in particular are seen in this light. Hand-crafted in Canada, each pewter figurine sits atop a piece of genuine amethyst crystal. Each piece comes on a card describing the animal or symbol. 2? x 2? x approx 2.5? tall

The Guatemalan Independence day is September 15th. Unlike in the U.S., Guatemala celebrates its independence for an entire week before the actual day. To celebrate, the kids of Colegio Shalom have half-days of school this week, where they participate in cultural activities designed to mark their independence from Spain in 1821. Students gather in assembly in the first photo below. Some of them hold blue flags and others hold white, to represent the blue and white flag of Guatemala. In the second photo, Clara Luz models the native dress of Guatemalan women. In the third and fourth photos, school children display the Guatemalan flag and sing the (very long!) national anthem. In the final photo, sophomores and juniors read important facts about the Guatemalan fight for independence.

by Bill Blakemore and ABC News. Thanks to Jan Casey for sharing. Read the entire article at the link below. mammals, including not only dolphins and whales but African wild dogs and Norwegian rats, many species of bird, and even spiders and insects are now being discovered by scientists around the world to have complex vocalizations and other sound-wave communication systems so complex that old notions that human language is somehow fundamentally unique are being thrown in doubt. up a broad new field in which scientists are exploring that ancient question: whether and how the mental experience of animals is different from ours: thought-processes, self-reflections, feelings for others, sense of enjoyment, and even possible moral systems and consciousness itself (whatever that is) different only by degree and complexity from ours, or is there a more scientific studies can also be great fun. Animals tickle our fancy in many ways, and often fascinate us. fact that countless millions of humans around the world click on thousands of videos of animal behavior found on the World Wide Web is itself evidence of some form of intense communication in them — often without “words” or any other sounds from the animals."

Water is an increasingly valuable and limited resource, often perceived as being wasted on turfgrass. This much-anticipated second edition brings clear, current, science-based information on turfgrass management and water conservation to turf managers and researchers alike. Inside you’ll find a look at the current understanding of water use as well as new technologies being researched to reduce water use by turfgrass. Attention is paid to water quality and turfgrass as a key part of the urban environment, how integrating turfgrass with other landscape uses of water can be part of a conservation plan, and how various water qualities, including reclaimed water, can be part of a management plan. Chapters also cover •advances in drought, heat, and salinity stress tolerance •the role of water in modified root zone media and native soils •water management technologies •considerations for construction and management of urban green spaces including parks and golf courses •water depletion, pesticide and nutrient runoff A chapter summarizing the practical application of the science in each chapter rounds out the text, presenting the information in an immediately useable format. Includes 10 tables and figures, 20 color photos, a U.S. customary to metric conversion table, and an 8-page glossary.

The Canadian Red Cross has come out with its own smartphone app to allow users to brush up on their first aids skills. The app, not meant to replace traditional first aid and emergency training, provides safety tips for common disasters and includes advice to guide you through a medical emergency situation. “Many Canadians lack the confidence to provide life-saving basic first aid,” the Red Cross said on its website. “While nearly seven in 10 Canadians say they would recognize the signs of a life-threatening emergency, like choking or a heart attack, fewer than half are confident they have the skills to help.” The app is a free download for Apple and Android devices and comes with videos and quizzes on first aid procedures, along with step-by-step instructions on how to handle an emergency. Of course, in a real medical emergency, nothing can replace calling 911. The app was launched just ahead of World First Aid Day on September 14.
