The signs which shows that your body needs water are-
- HEADACHES- when the body is dehydrated, the brain can temporarily contract or shrink from fluid loss.This mechanism causes the brain to pull away from the skull, causing pain and resulting in a ‘ dehydration headache.’
- POOR CONCENTRATION- As the human mind holds around 90% water, it certainly gives hints when it is dried out. The absence of it in the mind can influence your mood and memory.
- DRY MOUTH AND BAD BREATH- The absence of water creates less spit in the mouth, which contains antibacterial properties. This leads to more bacteria in the mouth, bringing about bad breath.
- FOOD CRAVINGS- Whenever you have sudden cravings, drink a glass of water before eating something. Your body often sends false flags that you are hungry, when you are actually thirsty.
- LATHARGY AND FATIGUE- When you are feeling lethargic and exhausted, it can be because of dehydration. The absence of water causes low circulatory strain and insufficient oxygen supply all through the body. The absence of oxygen causes lethargy and a lazy feeling. | <urn:uuid:56f0145b-bf1e-4778-8f50-88f921ee52f7> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.nutrilyf.com/2020/01/21/5-signs-that-your-body-needs-water/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146809.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200227191150-20200227221150-00139.warc.gz | en | 0.918362 | 246 | 2.9375 | 3 |
We know that writing builds communicative skills as it develops critical and analytical thinking. Why then, do we avoid assigning that writing task? Do we fear a student rebellion? Dread the mountain of resulting papers to grade? Honestly, have we been taught to effectively teach, or assess, writing? Probably not.
Join UT clinical professor Julia Haug and master Foreign Language teacher Rose Potter for this one day workshop. Learn to integrate ELA planning and assessment strategies into a cross-curricular unit of study that will help cultivate your students' communication skills in all three modes. This approach will build your students' creativity, problem solving and entrepreneurship skills.
Leave this interactive workshop with the outline for a writing unit, your own writing sample, and samples of work shared by your colleagues. | <urn:uuid:9d7bb391-e914-45ef-9653-ba80c84e724e> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://coerll.utexas.edu/coerll/event/writing-workshop-summer-2018 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875144429.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200219214816-20200220004816-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.924249 | 156 | 2.703125 | 3 |
Is there a way to eliminate the noise heard when plugged into an amplifier?
When you plug an electric guitar or electric bass into a device such as an amplifier or computer and play it, you may hear a humming noise when your hands are not touching a metal part on the guitar. Unfortunately it is theoretically impossible to eliminate this noise, because the pickup on the electric guitar/bass picks up a variety of noise in the room in addition to the vibration of the strings.
Even if there is a slight difference in the structure of the circuitry, one side of the wiring from the pickup is connected to the signal wire side of the output, while the other side is normally connected to the spring bearing under the bridge or to the tremolo unit. In other words, the strings are electrically connected through these metal parts.
This is so that the noise portion of the signal is grounded. When someone plays a guitar and touches the strings, his or her body acts as the ground circuit for the noise. When a string or other metallic part of the guitar is not being touched there is no ground circuit, so noise is introduced from the guitar to the signal wire. | <urn:uuid:b51a2e3f-bac7-4280-86c0-5dd6798f28a8> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.yamaha.com/en/musical_instrument_guide/electric_guitar/trivia/trivia004.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875147054.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228043124-20200228073124-00459.warc.gz | en | 0.954341 | 233 | 2.8125 | 3 |
Here is a basic overview on how to use brushes in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
Step by Step:
1. Create a blank layer over the layer in your project on which you wish to place your brush. You can do this by using Shift+Ctrl+N (Mac = Shift+Cmd+N) or from your Layers palette.
2. From your tool bar, select your brush tool (B); alternatively you can enable your brush palette by selecting function+F5 or from the Windows drop down menu.
4. Select the brush you wish to use and adjust the size before you add it to your canvas. You can hover over your canvas to see the size of the brush relative to your project. It is not recommended that you enlarge your brush after you’ve placed it in your project, so it’s better to err toward a larger size.
5. Now “stamp” it onto your page, being careful to ensure that it is completely captured within your canvas! Left click once to add your brush to your canvas. Feel free to move it around or apply different layer styles (colors, patterns, gradients, etc.) or change the blending options and/or opacity. | <urn:uuid:12ea82fb-22af-4652-9fce-616e4426e6a5> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/tutorials/index.php/2016/10/using-brushes/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145708.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222150029-20200222180029-00540.warc.gz | en | 0.858025 | 250 | 2.9375 | 3 |
Open textbooks are:
- Licensed in such a way as to allow them to be freely accessed, shared, and adapted by students, teachers, and others.
- Typically distributed online at no cost and can be made available in a print version for a low cost if preferred by students
The quality of open textbooks is equal to traditional textbooks in that they are created by educators, reviewed by educators, and selected by individual educators to serve as tools to help students meet learning objectives.
Open textbooks can be utilized through at least two channels:
- Adopt an existing open textbook from a freely available collection such as the Open Textbook Library
- Create a new open textbook if no satisfactory title already exists
Rod Library works together with faculty to:
- Help faculty members understand and adopt open textbooks in their classes
- Increase support of open textbooks on campus
- Collect data to show the impact of open textbooks for students

The basic metal detector consists of:
- Transmitter and Receiver Coil
- Sensor Cables
- Control Unit / Signal Processor
Briefly, the Transmit and Receive Coils are wire windings encased in High Density Polyethylene. Electrical current pulses are sent to the Transmit coil, via the Sensor Cables, which creates an electromagnetic field. This field is sampled by the Receiver coil. The sampled singal is sent to the Control Unit / Signal Processor which analyses the voltage recovery curve. A change in voltage recovery indicates metal present in the electromagnetic field.
Sensitivity is determined by the adjustment of the electronics and is constrained by the width of the search coil, the height of the product and the type and size of the metal being detected.
Features & Benefits
- Protects all types of machinery
- Detects all types of metals
- Easy to fit to belt and vibratory conveyors
- Signal monitoring and self-checking facility
- A range of optional extras including audible and visual alarms
- A range of control unit models and a wide selection of search coils mean a solution to almost any metal detection problem
- Custom made sensor coils to suit individual conveyor systems and optimise sensitivity | <urn:uuid:562376fc-4548-4a60-8018-4543455b04b0> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://wpeprocessequipment.com.au/equipment/metal-detectors/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875148850.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200229083813-20200229113813-00419.warc.gz | en | 0.900586 | 249 | 3.015625 | 3 |

Peace Celebration, Paris 1918 by William Samuel Horton (1918), oil on canvas. From the collection of Mr. & Mrs. Welborn E. Alexander.
The Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia and the Mr. and Mrs. Welborn E. Alexander Collection come together to present an exhibition exploring the impact made by the Impressionist movement on American Art created in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Artists from the United States, who often studied in France, blended the techniques of French Impressionism with their concepts, ideals and goals to create a new American Art for the 20th century. These artists often found themselves in revolt against what they viewed as an overly structured and stale art scene. In addition to works by well-known artists from across the United States, this exhibition features a collection of works by important Southern Impressionist artists. Impressionism, in various forms, held sway over the work of many Southern artists until the approach of mid the 20th century. | <urn:uuid:7cef9543-f3d2-41c0-98a4-a111cbf7f194> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://www.gilleysgallery.com/News.cfm?NewsID=95 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875148375.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200229022458-20200229052458-00538.warc.gz | en | 0.967821 | 232 | 2.65625 | 3 |
Re: 150 Years Ago Today - August 23, 1860
The Black Codes were a Northern institution. Illinois, Ohio, and three other states prohibited the immigration of free blacks prior to the War of Northern Aggression. It was a precursor to the Jim Crow Laws. Generally, yankees could not tolerate the notion of having black neighbors; thus the hypocrisy. Free the slaves, but force them to live in the South. The Fugitive Slave Law and the North's complicit role was the reason the Underground Railroad terminal was in Canada (good job abolitioninists).

Lyrebird has created a voice imitation technology that uses deep learning and artificial neural networks to create fascinating and somewhat scary results. It relies on deep learning models developed at the MILA lab of the University of Montréal.
Lyrebird will offer an API to copy the voice of anyone. It will need as little as one minute of audio recording of a speaker to compute a unique key defining her/his voice. This key will then allow to generate anything from its corresponding voice. The API will be robust enough to learn from noisy recordings. Lyrebird will offer a large catalog of different voices and let the user design their own unique voices tailored for their needs.
Users will be able to create entire dialogs with the new or mimicked voice. Inflection, emotion, and content can all be tailored as necessary through a developer API. The demos are fairly impressive but still distinctly robotic. Check out some Trump/Obama examples below.
I’m interested to find out how accurate this will be for non-english and non-human verbal communication. | <urn:uuid:ec6916e4-2780-4198-a4d5-c5c54ef57a37> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://www.artifacting.com/blog/page/3/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146414.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200226150200-20200226180200-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.937862 | 215 | 2.765625 | 3 |
The development of GMOs, nanotechnology and neonicotinoid insecticides presents opportunities for humans and the environment, but it can also carry risks to human, animal or plant health.
Decisions on their promotion or regulation are often to be taken in situations of uncertainty about these risks. But how do we take sound decisions in situations of scientific uncertainty? How do we decide on new or emerging technologies?
In such situations, the precautionary principle guides decision-makers faced with unacceptable risks, scientific uncertainty and public concerns. As a general principle of EU law, it allows decision-makers to act despite scientific uncertainty.
As the principle is also criticised for hindering technologic innovation, some stakeholders have developed an innovation principle, stressing the importance of taking into account also potential impacts on innovation
The RECIPES project aims to reconcile innovation and precaution by developing tools and guidelines to ensure the precautionary principle is applied while still encouraging innovation. The RECIPES project will work closely with different stakeholders through interviews, workshop and webinars.

Arming a Knight and his Horse
On 29 May 2013, the Fitzwilliam Museum hosted its very own Armoury Extravaganza. This public-facing, interactive event sought to explore the human experience of wearing armour, highlighting the importance of fit, form, function and fashion. Some highlights from the day included a knight on horseback, complete with replica sixteenth-century Milanese armour, and a Cambridge blacksmith demonstrating armour- and sword-making techniques. Visitors could also try on modern replica armour to experience how these seemingly cumbersome objects actually allowed for a great range of movement and flexibility.
To complement the Armoury Extravaganza, the Fitzwilliam Museum created a series of videos demonstrating the lengthy process of arming a knight and his horse, and preparing for the battlefield or tiltyard in the sixteenth century. | <urn:uuid:56829e46-7c6b-4b90-8790-c858db51b604> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/gallery/armoury/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875144111.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200219092153-20200219122153-00539.warc.gz | en | 0.922362 | 169 | 2.609375 | 3 |

Recent research funded by the Center for Produce Safety (CPS) found that Salmonella cells may be more heat resistant during poultry litter heat treatments. This can be an issue because heat treatment is used to reduce or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms. A two-year project conducted at Clemson University is examining how moisture and heat treatment can work together to inactivate Salmonella in chicken litter. Researchers are about half way through the project and are working with two large poultry litter processors to validate heat-treatment processes in an industrial setting, and are using Salmonella surrogate and indicator microorganisms that the researchers identified in the study.
The goal of the study, according to investigator Xiuping Jiang, Ph.D. of Clemson University, is to help create guidelines that include residence time, temperature and moisture levels, and tools to assist the fertilizer industry in providing more microbiological safety in their products.
More details about the study, “Validating a physically heat-treated process for poultry litter in industry settings using the avirulent Salmonella surrogates or indicator microorganisms”, are available on the CPS website. | <urn:uuid:67d34486-71a6-4011-8d42-b2f206d39b27> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://foodsafetytech.com/tag/heat-resistance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145438.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221014826-20200221044826-00260.warc.gz | en | 0.91499 | 228 | 2.765625 | 3 |
Modified wood is a generic term that describes the application of chemical, physical, or biological methods that are used to alter the cellular structure of the wood. The U.S.D.A. ‘s National Forest Service Library defines modified wood as “wood that is processed by chemical treatment, compression, or other means, with or without heat, to impart permanent properties quite different from those of the original wood.”
The aim of modified wood is to overcome the shortcomings of standard timber. The modification process enhances the performance of the wood, resulting in improvements in the longevity of timbers – dimensional stability, decay resistance, reduced water absorption, less expansion/contraction, etc. In addition, since most advanced modification processes are environmentally friendly, the materials can still be disposed of properly at the end of the product life cycle. | <urn:uuid:ef92877a-6868-4159-8da2-c6174f4bc1f8> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://resawntimberco.com/news/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145708.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222150029-20200222180029-00539.warc.gz | en | 0.93078 | 169 | 3.234375 | 3 |

I am designing a liquid fueled amateur rocket with my brother, and settled on a gas generator engine. We understand the concept and process, however we are still confused on how the engine is initially ignited. Does a battery/other means of energy kick-start the turbopumps? Thank you for the help
One common solution is what is referred to as a "start bottle" (see the J-2 flow schematic diagram below -- look for the item labeled "start tank") -- a small tank of highly compressed gas (e.g., helium or hydrogen) with either a nozzle that impinges directly on the turbine of the turbopump or a line that pressurizes the gas generator exhaust lines to spin the turbopump up to pump the propellants into the gas generator. When you hear of an engine that cannot be restarted or can only be restarted once or twice, this is a likely reason why -- one start bottle per start. When it's used up, that's it. | <urn:uuid:3ecccea7-cad3-4ebf-8b51-2509e3f7f945> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/22562/how-does-a-gas-generator-engine-begin-ignition | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145676.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222115524-20200222145524-00100.warc.gz | en | 0.930671 | 202 | 2.75 | 3 |

Making in-class skills training more effective: The scope for interactive videos to complement the delivery of practical pedestrian training
British Journal of Educational Technology Volume 46, Number 6, ISSN 0007-1013 e-ISSN 0007-1013 Publisher: Wiley
Skills and awareness of young pedestrians can be improved with on-street practical pedestrian training, often delivered in schools in the UK by local authorities with the intention of improving road safety. This training is often supplemented by in-class paper-based worksheet activities that are seen to be less effective than practical training in that they focus on knowledge acquisition rather than directly improving the correct application of safe pedestrian skills at the roadside. Previous research indicates that interactive video tools have the potential to develop procedural skills while offering an engaging road safety educational experience, which could positively impact on road crossing behaviour.

Debates on the challenges and opportunities for sustainable agricultural production and natural resources management - mainly of land, water, and forests - have intensified in recent years. This is due not only to a more prominent climate change agenda, aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit global warming to less than 1.5oC ; it is also due to the recent Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda . The role that forests play in climate change mitigation is at the heart of climate change and sustainability debates; as such, reducing the pressure that ‘forest-risk’ commodity crops (e.g. palm oil, cocoa, soy, beef, timber) place on forests is key . Forest conversion contributes to soil erosion, reduces water quality and supply, leads to biodiversity loss and increases carbon emissions . An issue of increasing concern is how to support the meaningful integration of smallholders in these commodity supply chains, as well as improve their capacity to capture greater market benefits .

Housing affordability is a multi-faceted, complex issue. Concentration on just one aspect of the issue – be it housing supply, land supply, interest rates, construction costs or migration – will miss important aspects of why house prices vary in different locations at different times. In this briefing paper, we illustrate how differing facets of the housing market combine to produce diverse housing outcomes.
Common sense and observation of recent trends indicates that house prices reflect variables such as: population and migration, land availability (which is affected by both geographical and planning constraints), construction costs and financial factors (credit availability and interest rates). Government-funded rent and mortgage subsidies will also affect how much people can afford for housing and so will affect prices. These factors are included here in a simple framework, providing a systematic approach to understand house price outcomes. The approach is based on, and extends, published papers by the author as well as other influential papers on housing markets. | <urn:uuid:c9186222-94e6-4a7c-9119-77babeda284d> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://motu.ac.nz/our-work/urban-and-regional/housing/understanding-housing-affordability/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222211056-20200223001056-00419.warc.gz | en | 0.944658 | 195 | 2.828125 | 3 |
2010 – American Wisteria
Named after the Philadelphia-born Caspar Wistar, American wisteria is a twining deciduous vine known for its lilac-purple, pea-like, fragrant flowers that bloom in pendulous racemes in early summer. In its native habitat, American wisteria can be found in moist woodlands or along streambanks in fertile, well-drained soils. For the average homeowner, however, it is a great plant for training against a wall or over a sturdy arch or pergola where it can receive at least six hours of full sun each day.
American wisteria is a hardy plant that does well without fertilization and only needs to be watered during times of drought. Pests and disease can be a problem with this plant, but proper care will help keep it healthy. | <urn:uuid:97b91c83-04d7-4ce9-960c-0d7a22859d53> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.jenkinsarboretum.org/green-ribbon/wisteria-frutescens/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875141396.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200216182139-20200216212139-00300.warc.gz | en | 0.959601 | 177 | 2.890625 | 3 |
The brainstem divides into three important parts, the midbrain, medulla, and pons. The midbrain is responsible for regulating functions contributing to sensory perception, motor control, sleep cycles, and body temperature. The pons regulates many of the body's autonomic functions, such as breathing, urination, some sensory perceptions, swallowing, balance, and cranial nerve functions. Finally, the medulla regulates other autonomic systems not controlled by the pons, including respiration, heartbeat, and blood pressure.

What We Do
The Early Manuscripts Electronic Library (EMEL) uses digital technologies to make manuscripts and other historical source materials accessible for study and appreciation by scholars and the public.
Fragile parchment, papyrus and paper manuscripts, written centuries ago, are the bearers of much of our intellectual, religious, and artistic heritage.
But they are a finite resource. Each year mold, fire and human conflicts destroy and deface irreplaceable manuscripts.
Digital technologies can recover writing on ancient manuscripts that the human eye cannot see due to damage, deterioration or erasure and can preserve these writings for future generations.
EMEL and its affiliated experts offer creative solutions to digitally recover and record vulnerable cultural heritage. | <urn:uuid:86f55bc1-162a-4b79-96e8-b8e3ad604717> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://emel-library.org/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146665.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200227063824-20200227093824-00379.warc.gz | en | 0.877107 | 144 | 3.234375 | 3 |
(TIME) — Slow walkers may have new reason to speed up their stroll.
New research says that walking fast may reduce your risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease. Slow walking may be less healthy.
The researchers used data from two large health surveys: the Health Survey for England and the Scottish Health Survey. In total, they analyzed data provided by more than 50,000 English and Scottish adults, who self-reported their average perceived walking speed (slow, average, fairly brisk or fast) and other health metrics. They tracked these people for an average of nine years, during which time 3,617 people died. More than 1,000 of them died from cardiovascular disease.
This study could not definitively say if fast walking causes better health, or vice versa. It may simply be that fit, healthy people tend to walk faster than those who are ailing. But the researchers write in the paper that walking speed appears to affect mortality risk independent of total physical activity, perhaps thanks to “the increased relative exercise intensity” of walking fast. In other words, speedy stepping may strengthen the heart better than leisurely strolling, in keeping with long-standing associations between exercise and cardiovascular health. | <urn:uuid:df671bb0-3610-4705-b720-863a880e49fc> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://bluebay700.com/2019/12/07/why-you-should-pick-up-the-pace-when-you-walk-cardio-health-fitness/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146186.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20200226023658-20200226053658-00420.warc.gz | en | 0.958719 | 243 | 3.15625 | 3 |
In the summer of 2011, there were days when nearly one third of Lake Erie was covered in a bright green slop better known as an algae bloom. Sometimes poisonous and always a nuisance, the algae blooms were naturally predicted to be much worse in 2012. But the predictions were off, forcing NOAA to revise its prediction in July claiming that blooms would be mild. What happened? Severe drought. No heavy rains (or rain of any kind) mean less phosphorus run off from farms and no big sewage overflows from cities upstream to feed the blooms.
This begs the question, what happens when the rains return? What kind of planning is happening now? | <urn:uuid:e6c7a760-07fb-4723-91e9-7a1cd1931939> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.greatlakesnow.org/2012/09/algae-blooms-in-lake-erie-2012/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875144722.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200220100914-20200220130914-00059.warc.gz | en | 0.976499 | 134 | 2.9375 | 3 |
Mediation is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) that is offered by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as an alternative to the traditional investigative or litigation process. Mediation is an informal process in which a neutral third party assists the opposing parties to reach a voluntary, negotiated resolution of a charge of discrimination.
- The decision to mediate is completely voluntary for the charging party and the employer.
- Mediation gives the parties the opportunity to discuss the issues raised in the charge, clear up misunderstandings, determine the underlying interests or concerns, find areas of agreement and, ultimately, to incorporate those areas of agreement into resolutions.
- A mediator does not resolve the charge or impose a decision on the parties. Instead, the mediator helps the parties to agree on a mutually acceptable resolution.
- The mediation process is strictly confidential.
- Information disclosed during mediation will not be revealed to anyone, including other EEOC employees.

The Expedition 42 crew worked on numerous science investigations Wednesday after releasing the SpaceX Dragon for its splashdown Tuesday. The six orbital lab assistants studied such things as exercise loads in space, plant growth and changes to vision during long duration space missions.
The Force Shoes study will help researchers design better training programs and exercise devices for astronauts to improve their musculoskeletal health. The Plant Rotation experiment observes the direction of plant growth in microgravity in anticipation of future crews growing their own food. The Ocular Health experiment is looking at the changes to crew member’s visual, vascular and central nervous system and how long before they return to normal after returning to Earth

Schiele continued Klimt's passion for female portrait sketching, constantly looking to refine his skills through practice and experimentation. Both would use pencil and chalk on a variety of paper types.
Picasso and Klimt held a similar desire for simplicity when it came to this art form - concentrating purely on constructing form from the most minimalist of lines.
Some sketches would go into much greater detail, particularly study pieces for large scale paintings, but many simpler drawings were done simply for enjoyment.
To see such minimalist drawings is almost like admiring a model without makeup - the raw beauty, untouched and pure. Schiele was able to achieve so much in one's mind, through the suggestion of just a few lines.
Much of the Vienna Secession movement was bold, both in canvas size and also colour. Such work required space and time, whilst simpler drawings could be completed at a whim, with just a small sketchpad and pencil. Passionate artists like this would often get a spurt of inspiration which would need to be satisfied immediately. | <urn:uuid:5191d429-a8d4-45f0-98f0-6727d4ea23bb> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://www.egonschiele.net/it/disegni/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146160.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20200225202625-20200225232625-00540.warc.gz | en | 0.978375 | 213 | 3.328125 | 3 |

QC ~ Cartier-Brebeuf National Historic Site : Historic Sites to Visit
FOR OVER 40 years, the Lairet River was not a part of the National Historic Site of Cartier-Brébeuf Park, located along the St. Charles River, in the Quebec City borough of Limoilou.
Recent rehabilitation works have reestablished the original landscape of the mouth of the Lairet River, a site which hosted the first Europeans who
came to America. On his second voyage in 1535-1536, Jacques Cartier and his fellow travelers had wintered at this site near the Iroquois village of
Stadacona. This is also where Jesuit missionaries built their first residence in Québec. | <urn:uuid:b62ec42d-cb60-4ab7-9efc-924100698058> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.donnaward.net/qc-cartier-brebeuf-national-historic-site/23/4173/resources.php | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875144979.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20200220131529-20200220161529-00499.warc.gz | en | 0.960385 | 151 | 2.859375 | 3 |
Most pets and several flowers reveal intimate dimorphism; put differently, an individual may be either female or male. Generally in most of those full situations, intercourse depends upon special intercourse chromosomes. Within these organisms, there are two main kinds of chromosomes, intercourse chromosomes and autosomes (the chromosomes apart from the intercourse chromosomes). The guidelines of inheritance considered thus far, by using Mendel’s analysis for example, would be the guidelines of autosomes. All of the chromosomes in a genome are autosomes. The intercourse chromosomes are less in quantity, and, generally speaking in diploid organisms, there clearly was just one single set.
Why don’t we go through the situation that is human an instance. Human anatomy cells have actually 46 chromosomes: 22 homologous pairs of autosomes plus 2 intercourse chromosomes. In females, there was a couple of identical intercourse chromosomes called the X chromosomes. In men, there was a pair that is nonidentical composed of one X plus one Y. The Y chromosome is significantly faster as compared to X. At meiosis in females, the two X chromosomes set and segregate like autosomes to ensure each egg gets one X chromosome. Thus the feminine is reported to be the homogametic intercourse.

Set at the mouth of the Tagus river, the city of Lisbon has been a place of multiple cultural encounters and crossed influences ever since its early foundation. Different ethnic and religious communities have coexisted throughout the centuries in the city, which has been the capital of Portugal since the XIIIth century. Many different peoples from all corners of the World have arrived to or departed from Lisbon. The echo of their knowledge, experiences and customs have long remained reflected in Portuguese history and culture. But Lisbon has also been a point of departure and a place of arrival for many Portuguese who for many reasons have crossed the seas and left their mark all over the world. In this course we will focus on the history of Lisbon from this perspective. | <urn:uuid:2fb2808a-8120-437c-b4fb-37660b8da20d> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.classcentral.com/course/emma-lisboa-e-o-mar-uma-historia-de-chegadas-e-partidas-4115 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143805.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200218180919-20200218210919-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.976772 | 145 | 3.40625 | 3 |

John Bright(1811-1889), Statesman and orator
Sitter associated with 95 portraits
One of the most important and influential political figures of the age. Bright managed his family's cotton mills before entering public life in the 1830s. A radical orator and Liberal politician, he led the agitation for the repeal of the Corn Laws with Richard Cobden and was instrumental in the Cobden-Chevalier Treaty (1860). He sat in the House of Commons from 1843-89, promoting free trade, electoral reform and religious freedom, and was one of the most important and influential political figures of the age. A close friend of Rupert Potter, Beatrix Potter often recalled her father and Bright's conversations in her journals and he visited the Potters during their Scottish holidays.

Sugar Nil provides the benefit of Sucralose. Sucralose is a Zero – calorie sweetener, a sweet alternative to Sugar. Sucralose is approximately 600 times as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), twice as sweet as saccharin, and 3.3 times sweeter as aspartame.
Excessive consumption of Sugar increases the blood glucose level which is harmful for diabetic patients. Also, oral bacteria, in dental plaque, metabolize sucrose into lactic acid. High concentration of acid results in demineralization of tooth and thus results in tooth decay.

Sponges are pretty amazing animals. Their cells
work together, but are also pretty independent.
Each cell gets its oxygen directly from the
water that flows through the sponge all the
time. The carbon dioxide leaves the same way.
No cell is far from this constant flow. There’s a
great video at:
that shows how fast the water
Some of the cells have a flagellum, which is
shaped like a hair, but can whip around to move
water. Each cell is tiny, but they are powerful
working together. They use the flow of water
to help them trap the tiny particles of food they
eat. They don’t have a digestive system.
Each cell breaks down the particles itself.
One amazing result of the cells being
independent is that if you push the sponge through
a mesh, and break it into tiny pieces, those
pieces find each other and make new sponges!
Why do you think it’s so uncommon for the cells to
be so independent?

The story of How the Frog Became a True King should appeal to younger readers, between the ages of 6 to 12. It is the story of how a very greedy and unkind frog’s life was changed when he was sent to the desert where he lived for a while without any water, surviving on some help from a friendly cactus.
This tale tells the reader how he came back from his exile fully reformed and at the end, became a true King.
The illustrator, JP Hiwatig, has tried his best to capture my vision and has really brought to life the way in which I envisaged the characters in the story to appear.

The Fire Danger Rating (often abbreviated to FDR) tells you how dangerous a fire would be if one started.
It helps you to know when conditions are dangerous enough to put your bushfire survival plan in to action.
Ratings are forecast using Bureau of Meteorology data for up to four days in advance, based on weather and other environmental conditions such as fuel load.
The rating is your prompt to take action to stay safe.
Traditionally Fire Danger Ratings are forecast between 1 November and 30 April each year.

Engineering plastics are good thermal insulators. This attribute, although beneficial in certain applications, limits the utility of plastics in many heat generating applications (e.g. causes hot spots, increases device temperature).
Additionally, engineers are increasingly demanding material solutions that allow increased power output in smaller spaces (i.e. materials with heat thermal conductivity).
Imparting thermal conductivity to a plastics changes the way a part responds to heat. Thermally conductive plastics manage rather than survive thermal energy.
Thermal conductivity in a plastic provides the ability to meet demanding engineering requirements in many applications more cost effectively than other materials including metals, ceramics, and other plastics.
Thermal conductivity was a “missing property” from plastics.

Breakthrough!: How Three People Saved “Blue Babies” and Changed Medicine Forever by Jim Murphy
Synopsis: In 1944 a groundbreaking operation repaired the congenital heart defect known as blue baby syndrome. The operation’s success brought the surgeon Alfred Blalock international fame and paved the way for open-heart surgery. But the technique had been painstakingly developed by Vivien Thomas, Blalock’s African American lab assistant, who stood behind Blalock in the operating room to give him step-by-step instructions.
The stories of this medical and social breakthrough and the lives of Thomas, Blalock, and their colleague Dr. Helen Taussig are intertwined in this compelling nonfiction narrative.

Protected areas are designed to conserve ecosystems and their services, but the restrictions they impose create the potential for unintended consequences. For instance, poverty advocates have long voiced concerns that protected areas might exacerbate poverty in surrounding communities. Here we examine another potential unintended consequence of protected areas: illegal activities. We use data from Colombia to estimate the impact that protected areas had on violence perpetrated by guerrilla groups. We find protected areas that were established prior to 2002 significantly increased the number of guerrilla attacks in affected municipalities during the surge of violence in the mid-2000s. Our results are robust to the choice of estimator and numerous additional tests. We find evidence that guerrillas were using protected areas as havens to conduct their operations and that our impact estimates are largely driven by protection in the most rural areas. | <urn:uuid:2a36c62c-11ca-49c6-b915-39b0aabc9440> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://sbe.dstg0.sonoma.edu/research/unintended-consequences-conservation-estimating-impact-protected-areas-violence-colombia | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222211056-20200223001056-00419.warc.gz | en | 0.965387 | 157 | 2.84375 | 3 |

Tidal marshes provide key ecosystem services, but they are increasingly threatened by sea level rise. Narragansett Bay and Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserves recently led the first national assessment of tidal marsh resilience to sea level rise by developing and applying multi-metric indices to 16 reserve sites. Now, the group is moving beyond marsh resilience monitoring and assessment efforts to actively test strategies to enhance resilience.
In this project, replicated restoration experiments are being conducted at several reserve sites across the nation with the purpose of examining the effectiveness of thin-layer sediment placement as a marsh adaptation strategy. Novel aspects of the project include the broad distribution of sites, the examination of the effectiveness of thin-layer sediment placement at different marsh elevations, a standardized monitoring protocol, and the incorporation of biochar (carbon material produced through the conversion of biomass in an oxygen limited environment) to improve soils and plant health.
This project includes a diverse Advisory Committee and a thoughtful plan for keeping the team and advisors engaged and coordinated. Their Advisory Committee Charter can serve as a reference for other projects considering a similar approach. The charter was developed based on guidance and a template from the Collaborative Project Toolkit. | <urn:uuid:90fe23f8-5972-4209-96cb-12e2cbc50c1e> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://www.nerrssciencecollaborative.org/project/Raposa17 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143695.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200218120100-20200218150100-00460.warc.gz | en | 0.932961 | 242 | 3.140625 | 3 |
The Netherlands is a parliamentary democracy. Normally once every four years the Dutch citizens entitled to vote (Dutch nationals aged 18 or over) elect the people who will represent them in Parliament, so the elections are the basis of democracy.
Parliament’s duties include scrutinising the work of the Government and making new laws in cooperation with the Government. The Dutch Parliament is called “the States General”. It is bicameral, which means it consists of two chambers: the Senate (Eerste Kamer der Staten-Generaal) and the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal). | <urn:uuid:1662877a-2f58-4e8d-96ac-89ddc967410e> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://www.softketchup.nl/?p=1300 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875141460.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200217000519-20200217030519-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.935473 | 130 | 3.625 | 4 |
Soybean is a crop from legume family and it has ability to form symbiosis with beneficial microorganisms in the soil. These microorganisms fixate atmospheric nitrogen and transform it into accessible form for the cultivated plants, nitrate nitrogen. Due to this it is very important to pay attention how much nitrogen is given through the basic fertilization before sowing, i.e. to reduce the quantity of the basic fertilizer during soil cultivating, and add all other necessary quantities of nutrients during vegetation through FITOFERT foliar fertilizers. Boron has a multiple effect on soybean crops: it affects root growth, improves nitrogen fixation, stimulates branch spread and flowering, prolongs longevity and fertilization of the flowers and increases the number of beans in the pod. | <urn:uuid:7ddbcd23-dbf6-409f-ba2c-b5c07a597617> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://fitofert.com/en/soybean/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875147628.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228170007-20200228200007-00219.warc.gz | en | 0.915368 | 153 | 3.25 | 3 |
Among the 1,200 activists arrested in front of the White House in September was 2002 Goldman Prize winner Alexis Massol-Gonzalez. The founder of Casa Pueblo joined the demonstrators in solidarity to protest the Keystone pipeline, and to take an important message to the White House about another project that threatens his hometown in Puerto Rico: the Via Verde natural gas pipeline.
The 92-mile pipeline would cut across the island, and stands to impact over 1,500 acres of tropical forest that are home to several endangered animals and plants. It would also threaten more than 200 rivers and streams, which provide drinking water for 1 out of 4 Puerto Ricans. Experts have also flagged numerous public safety concerns. Puerto Rico is prone to earthquakes and hurricanes, making it a dangerous place for a natural gas pipeline.
The project, with strong backing from the governor of Puerto Rico, is in its final phase of evaluation by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Casa Pueblo has led the effort to provide evaluation and data on the environmental impact of the pipeline, and is calling on the Obama administration to hold public hearings and carefully review the environmental impact. | <urn:uuid:e5077733-d3a7-499c-9b56-e85094230556> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.goldmanprize.org/blog/casa-pueblo-appeals-white-house-to-stop-via-verde-project-in-puerto-rico/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145500.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221080411-20200221110411-00139.warc.gz | en | 0.957486 | 232 | 2.796875 | 3 |

A synovial joint is a joint in which the opposing bone surfaces are covered by cartilage and separated by a free space filled with a small quantity of synovial fluid produced by synovial membrane. Synovial fluid contains nutrients for the cartilage (which is not vascularised and is provided with nutrition by diffusion) and serves
as a joint lubricant. The synovial membrane is normally a one cell layer thin inner cover of the joint capsule. It is well vascularised, but poorly innervated. The joint is surrounded by a capsule.
In synovitis such as in rheumatoid arthritis, synovial fluid may be abundant and clearly detectable on physical examination.

Researchers at Canada's Queen's University Human Media Lab developed a prototype phone called HoloFlex that use a holographic lightfield 3D display that can "project" 3D images.
The HoloFlex uses a flexible 5.5" Full-HD (403 PPI) OLED display (seems to be the same LGD panel used in the G Flex 2) with a 3D-printed flexible lens-array on top, that forms a 160x104 matrix (16,640 lenses). Each lens projects the 12 pixel-wide circular area directly underneath it out into space.
Each lens projects a slightly different view of the same scene - which together makes a 160x104 3D image about a full scene over a field of view of about 35 degrees. All this means that HoloFlex can transform software models into lightfield display-based holograms, resulting in images that have depth and exhibit motion parallax and can be viewed from multiple perspectives by multiple users.
The researchers say that this is one of the smallest and most mobile lightfield displays ever developed. The main challenge towards commercialization is, in fact, the 3D printed micro-lens array. | <urn:uuid:a4c2b9d9-9010-4f2a-a5c0-2e0b5477ba73> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.oled-info.com/researcher-develop-oled-based-holographic-lightfield-display | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145839.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20200223185153-20200223215153-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.882005 | 240 | 2.515625 | 3 |
Going back in history, International Youth Day was created by the United Nations (UN) on the 12th of August 2000. On this 15th year after its first observance, the theme is ‘Youth Civic Engagement.’ We have about 17% of youth that make up the world population with about 1.2 billion of them aged between 15 and 24.
One of the biggest issues plaguing youths today is unemployment. 24.4% of the world’s unemployed are youths. Some reasons for the high rate of unemployment among youths can be attributed firstly to lack of quality education tailored towards complementing the abilities required in the fast paced world such as the labor market.

Read these five important water safety guidelines.
Water is an important part of summer fun, whether you’re heading to the pool, the lake or the beach. Learning to swim is an important skill for kids to be safe around water. Here are five guidelines to keep in mind when enjoying activities in and near the water.
- Designate a “Water Watcher” to maintain visual contact with all children playing in or near pools and other bodies of water.
- Make sure kids know that breath-holding games can be dangerous.
- Keep kids away from pool drains, pipes and other openings to avoid entrapments.
- Inexperienced and nonswimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket around water.
- Maintain caution around all bodies of water, even if you don’t plan on swimming. Cold temperatures, currents and underwater hazards pose a danger if someone falls into the water.

Heinrich Hofmann, one of Germany’s most celebrated religious painters of the late nineteenth century, was born in Darmstadt, Germany. At age eighteen he entered the celebrated Düsseldorf Academy of Art, which emphasized the depiction of Christian subjects.
He spent the following twelve years painting in Darmstadt and studying in Europe’s major art centers including Antwerp, Paris, Munich, Dresden, Prague, Venice, and Rome. In the process, Hofmann developed his own richly realistic style based on his study of German, Dutch, and Italian Old Masters.
In 1862 he moved to the larger city of Dresden where he lived for nearly five decades. Several of his religious works have been widely reproduced and displayed in Christian churches and homes throughout the world. | <urn:uuid:50eadd73-4494-4fc7-8971-f3fb88049a59> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://moastore.byu.edu/artists/heinrich-hofmann/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146414.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200226150200-20200226180200-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.965942 | 163 | 2.515625 | 3 |

A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Moon; month and Moon are cognates. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such months (lunations) are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moon's phases as early as the Paleolithic age. Synodic months, based on the Moon's orbital period with respect to the Earth-Sun line, are still the basis of many calendars today, and are used to divide the year.

As the planet warms, we can expect an increase in political instability and violence.
The US Department of Defence (the Pentagon) wrote in the 2014 Quadrennial Defence Review that climate change with its extreme weather events has the potential to increase:
- the devastation of homes, land, and infrastructure.
- water scarcity,
- food costs
- competition for resources.
- environmental degradation,
- pressure on economies, societies, and governments
- political instability and social tensions
- terrorist activity and other forms of violence.
The Pentagon has immense resources and incentives to get its strategy right. It employs 2.1 million people. In this report, it clearly accepted that climate change is occurring and threatening. | <urn:uuid:eb07e169-c631-4b9b-aa87-dfcbd80c0cb7> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.feedbackreigns.net/dangers/war/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146940.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228012313-20200228042313-00020.warc.gz | en | 0.948651 | 147 | 3.140625 | 3 |
The principles of integration were formulated independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the late 17th century, who thought of the integral as an infinite sum of rectangles of infinitesimal width. Bernhard Riemann gave a rigorous mathematical definition of integrals. It is based on a limiting procedure that approximates the area of a curvilinear region by breaking the region into thin vertical slabs. Beginning in the 19th century, more sophisticated notions of integrals began to appear, where the type of the function as well as the domain over which the integration is performed has been generalised. A line integral is defined for functions of two or more variables, and the interval of integration [a, b] is replaced by a curve connecting the two endpoints. In a surface integral, the curve is replaced by a piece of a surface in three-dimensional space.

Phlebectomy is a minimally-invasive procedure that is used to treat severe cases of venous disease caused by a condition known as venous reflux, in which damaged veins allow blood to flow backward and pool. It involves the physical removal of a diseased vein in the following manner:
- The affected veins are mapped using a marker while the patient is in a standing position.
- The veins to be removed are anesthetized with local anesthesia
- A series of small punctures are made that follow the course of the marked veins.
- A tiny crochet-needle like instrument is inserted into the punctures, through which small segments of the veins are gently removed, one at a time.
As a result of this procedure, blood that had been pooling in the affected vein will re-route its course through healthy veins. | <urn:uuid:e3450c41-d050-400b-b253-e8b27acc7995> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.milliganvein.com/phlebectomy/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145767.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20200223093317-20200223123317-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.969298 | 175 | 3.484375 | 3 |
The project aims in designing a War field robot which is capable of detecting human beings and land mines in its path and which is wirelessly controlled through PC using Zigbee technology. This robot also shoots using the laser light. It is a very low cost robot used to monitor the Warfield. The robot can be moved in all the directions using the PC wirelessly and automatically do the respective actions according to the sensor input.
Zigbee is a PAN technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Unlike Bluetooth or wireless USB devices, Zigbee devices have the ability to form a mesh network between nodes. Meshing is a type of daisy chaining from one device to another. This technique allows the short range of an individual node to be expanded and multiplied, covering a much larger area.
The controlling device of the whole system is a Microcontroller. Whenever the user presses a button in the PC, the data related to that button is sent through Zigbee module interfaced to PC. This data will be received by the Zigbee module in the robot system and feds this to Microcontroller which judges the relevant task to the information received and acts accordingly. This system also can detect fire and sprinkling the water automatically. | <urn:uuid:b1978c21-1421-4822-8f69-0421939bfe2f> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://ambesttechnologies.com/2018/11/06/a-new-product-design-and-construction-of-an-combat-robot-for-war-fields/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145746.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200223032129-20200223062129-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.928548 | 248 | 2.859375 | 3 |
Passports as a Form of Identification.
Even if you are not planning to travel it isn’t a bad idea to have a valid U.S. Passport as a form of identification.
Passports are a valid form of identification for Proof of Citizenship. There are many reasons why you may need to prove your citizenship. If you are applying for US benefits, a job in the US, or college in the US, for example, you may need to prove your status. A certificate of naturalization or certificate of citizenship can prove your status. In virtually all situations, however, a US passport is enough to prove your status. You can use your passport to travel and to prove US citizenship, even when applying for government benefits, making it one of the more flexible forms of identification. | <urn:uuid:72af0733-08df-482e-8605-0340300acf42> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://nwphotolab.com/uncategorized/passports-as-a/345/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875147154.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228104413-20200228134413-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.952661 | 161 | 2.578125 | 3 |
The Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account (ORSA) measures the size of the outdoor recreation economy and the link between outdoor recreation and the broader United States economy. Like other satellite accounts, the ORSA was built on BEA’s comprehensive supply-use framework. The supply-use tables provide a detailed look at the relationships among industries and how each industry contributes to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In practice, the ORSA is a rearrangement of the published supply-use tables that isolates outdoor recreation spending and production. For example, the supply-use tables show the production of all apparel, whereas the ORSA shows the production of apparel used specifically for outdoor recreation activities, such as wet suits and hiking boots. A variety of private and public data sources were used to identify outdoor recreation spending and production in order to develop the prototype ORSA estimates. | <urn:uuid:76196bf3-ace8-4046-8a9f-4352653479d6> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.bea.gov/resources/methodologies/outdoor-recreation | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143646.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200218085715-20200218115715-00019.warc.gz | en | 0.905989 | 172 | 2.71875 | 3 |
Part of John Muir's appeal to modern readers is that he not only explored the American West and wrote about its beauties but also fought for their preservation. His successes dot the landscape and are evident in all the natural features that bear his name: forests, lakes, trails, and glaciers. Here collected are some of Muir's finest wilderness essays, ranging in subject matter from Alaska to Yellowstone, from Oregon to the High Sierra.This book is part of a series that celebrates the tradition of literary naturalists―writers who embrace the natural world as the setting for some of our most euphoric and serious experiences. These books map the intimate connections between the human and the natural world. Literary naturalists transcend political boundaries, social concerns, and historical milieus; they speak for what Henry Beston called the “other nations” of the planet. Their message acquires more weight and urgency as wild places become increasingly scarce. | <urn:uuid:1696788f-6f88-4a5d-b79e-7401020e160b> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.paracay.com/wilderness-essays/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143646.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200218085715-20200218115715-00018.warc.gz | en | 0.957227 | 187 | 2.71875 | 3 |

In 2017, India became the largest importer of Almonds. It imports most of it from USA as its is the largest producer of Almonds, providing 46% of the total.
The USDA pasteurization laws require these almonds to be pasteurized before they are sold or exported. Pasteurization is a process in which certain packaged and non-packaged foods are treated with mild heat, usually to less than 100 °C (212 °F), to eliminate pathogens and to extend shelf life. Pasteurization actually “kills” food and makes it less nutritious.
Moreover, nuts like almonds easily absorb pesticides because of their high oil content so it is best to purchase organic almonds. Organic almonds are pesticides and chemical free and has all the natural benefits and nutrients of almonds intact, which is why they are a safer and advisable choice. | <urn:uuid:897fbb21-8028-4441-9b1d-fab6efc92ba9> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.refreshyourlife.in/blog/get-right-organic-almond | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145534.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221172509-20200221202509-00459.warc.gz | en | 0.954611 | 189 | 2.625 | 3 |
Sadigh Gallery has a wide variety of crosses from various cultures such as Egypt (Coptic Period), Holy Land, Byzantine Empire, Africa, Asia and so much more.
The cross is the sacred emblem of the Christian faith and is a symbol of redemption, signifying Christ's death on the cross for man's sins. The use of the cross as a symbol of faith goes back at least as far as the 100's AD. In 313 AD, Roman Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan established the Christian belief in just one God over all as the dominant faith for an Empire destined to influence humanity everywhere for centuries to come. In the Byzantine Empire, ancient Greek and Roman culture was preserved and Christianity flourished. With its Christian faith, Roman traditions and Greek culture, the Empire served as a connecting link between ancient and modern European civilization. | <urn:uuid:7c8c554e-f253-4d61-aebe-cee1e1f067db> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://sadigh.weebly.com/featured-artifacts/sadigh-gallery-crosses-in-antiquity-pt-1 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875147154.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228104413-20200228134413-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.950576 | 168 | 2.9375 | 3 |
The black flounder (Rhombosolea retiaria) is one of two species of freshwater fish that are derived directly from marine species. The other is the torrentfish (Cheimarrichthys fosteri). The black flounder is most common in the sea, in estuaries, harbours and lower levels of rivers, but it has been seen 250 kilometres up the Whanganui River, and 100 kilometres up the Manawatū River.

In one of the world's cleanest environments -- scientists and engineers at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts turn sand into tomorrow's semiconductors. It's an amazing process that takes silicon crystals, called boules, slices them into thin wafers and then builds millions of circuits -- that can run everything from computers to cell phones.
Engineer Jeremy Muldavin and his team also create even smaller components on these wafers -- called microelectromechanical systems or MEMS. MEMS move and they can sense things. So if semiconductors are the brains in a system - then MEMS are the hands and the eyes.

All of the objects in this gallery were discovered during past excavations in the amphitheater, and they are located at the Nîmes Archeology Museum. The excavation methods used at that time, which may be called clearing out, were less scientific than those used today. As a result, the exact context in which they were used is not well known: they may have been lost by those who occupied the amphitheater, or thrown away in it when it was used as a kind of dump after it had been abandoned. In any case, they cannot be linked to any precise activities that took place within the monument. Yet they bear witness to the daily lives of the peoples who spent time in the amphitheater. Their hand-written labels show the inventory methods used during the 19th century. | <urn:uuid:86f831b1-bb65-4fef-8381-7e08a02659e3> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://arenes-webdoc.nimes.fr/en/restoration/yesterday/pieces-of-evidence/archeological-discoveries/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145654.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222054424-20200222084424-00219.warc.gz | en | 0.992992 | 161 | 2.890625 | 3 |

The theory that polar regions once experienced summers while the tropics froze under ice has recently been challenged by Darren Williams of Pennsylvania State University in usa. According to him, many organisms which survived this period would have died off if this had happened. Instead, Williams believes that the Earth's polar axis once tilted down towards the sun at an angle 54 degrees or more. Polar regions would then have received more solar energy than the equator, and the glaciers could have grown in the tropics, while the poles would have stayed ice-free.

عنوان مقاله [English]
Iranian Domestic and Foreign Art Museums have numerous illustrated shahnama each of which plays an important role in analyzing the painting vicissitude of Esfahani School. In the meantime, Rashida Shahnama is one of the very important manuscripts now kept in Golestan Palace Museum in Tehran. This copy of Rashida Shahnama belongs to 11th Lunar Hegira with 93 unwritten depictions. All the depictions of this shahnama bear the general specifications of Esfahani School. In these depictions, visual and aesthetic elements of Esfahani School such as chorus, coloring, design, figures, sceneries, visual structure and executive techniques are seen. Since the depictions of this copy lack the signature of their creator, this paper emphasized that with the study of the exclusive specifications of each and every one of these painting, their creators may be identified. The main hypothesis of this paper is that the depictions of this Shahnama have specific identities distinguished from Esfahan School to the extent that they can be distinguished from other works of this era. In this paper, the executive style is called Esfahani, and the esthetics governing these works is analyzed. | <urn:uuid:44816c3e-0338-4d1b-9b49-4c8c9f07d647> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://jjhjor.alzahra.ac.ir/article_45.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875148163.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228231614-20200229021614-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.926567 | 255 | 2.5625 | 3 |
What is the Evidence for Induction or C-section for a Big Baby?
What is a big baby?
The medical term for big baby is macrosomia, which literally means “big body.” Some experts consider a baby to be big when it weighs more than 4,000 grams (8 pounds 13 ounces) at birth, and others say a baby is big if it weighs more than 4,500 grams (9 pounds, 15 ounces).

Portraits and Symbolism
Inventing your own designs
Step by Step Directions
Start with 3-4 random lines inside the square to break up the space. These can be straight lines or curves. Each line should start and end at the border of the design.
Placing these first lines – you divided the square into few areas. Now you concentrate on one area at a time.
Start placing lines parallel to the outline of the area.
Get them close together without having them touch (except at the ends).
You can do that in a circle, or use only select sides of the area, or use only 2 sides
Once you are done with one area – move to the next
The worksheet contains 12 squares for you to design. I will be grading the top six designs that you indicate for me to grade. Use the entire 90 minute period to create as many designs as possible. If you don't finish all 12 by the end of class, you may take the worksheet home and turn it in the next time we meet. We will be moving on to the Optical Illusions with Line project once this activity is complete. | <urn:uuid:7d7b1e66-ec9d-4013-9e2f-ed299d82d2bf> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://www.drhsart.com/art-1-assignment-blog | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146714.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20200227125512-20200227155512-00258.warc.gz | en | 0.913914 | 234 | 3.765625 | 4 |
Five years ago Monday, when there was an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon, an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, the first news reports said that nearly a dozen people had been killed by the blast.
Before long, however, it was clear that the impact would continue to be felt, and by many more people. The oil spill that began that day and continued into the summer would end up being the worst such accident in U.S. history, spilling millions of gallons of crude into the fragile waterway. How it would be cleaned up remained a mystery, one that is still being answered today.
Another mystery, as TIME’s Bryan Walsh explained in a cover story shortly after the spill began, was what had actually happened on that fateful day:

But in India it is celebrated on 14th November, because the date marks the birth anniversary of legendary freedom fighter and independent India’s first Prime Minister - Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru.
On 2020, the 14th of November falls on a Saturday.
As a tribute to Nehru and his love for children, Children’s Day is celebrated on his birth date.
This day reminds to each and every one of us, to renew our commitment to the welfare of children and teach them to live by their Chacha Nehru’s quality and dream.

Here’s good news for those of us trying to pick up new skills and information. Experts on how learning happens within the human brain have identified the two most reliable methods for transferring new information into our little grey cells.
One method requires that students revisit and build upon their study of a particular topic or problem over time, preferably at monthly intervals.
The other most effective technique requires students take repeated practice tests on the information—again, over periods of time. Students can administer the quizzes themselves, solo or with others, by using flash cards, study charts, practice sessions, or other study tools.
Both methods force students to repeatedly draw on and build upon their memories of the information, tasks or skills they’ve learned. The recurring engagement of memory consolidates the learning, and builds multiple neural pathways within the brain, so students can more easily access and retrieve the information from memory.
The techniques benefit students of all ages and abilities, and enhance performance in most areas of learning….

Dandy-Walker Syndrome is a congenital brain defect in humans characterized by malformations to the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls movement, and to the ventricles, the fluid-filled cavities that surround the cerebellum. The syndrome is named for physicians Walter Dandy and Arthur Walker who described associated signs and symptoms of the syndrome in the 1900s. The malformations often develop during embryonic stages.
In 1881 British opthalmologist Warren Tay made an unusual observation. He reported a cherry-red spot on the retina of a one-year-old patient, a patient who was also showing signs of progressive degeneration of the central nervous system as manifested in the child's physical and mental retardation. This cherry-red spot is a characteristic that would eventually come to be associated with metabolic neurological disorders like Sandhoff, GM-1, Niemann-Pick, and, to the credit of Tay, the lysosomal storage disorder known as Tay-Sachs disease. | <urn:uuid:e8f9e997-88da-48d5-9584-da8bf5e9f73d> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://embryo.asu.edu/search?text=Ernst%20Mach&%3Bf%5B0%5D=dc_subject_embryo%3A20&f%5B0%5D=dc_subject_embryo%3A310 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145989.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200224224431-20200225014431-00459.warc.gz | en | 0.94244 | 213 | 3.171875 | 3 |

- It is not clearly stated whether or not Mars Day is a specific holiday or just the name of a weekday. However, in "Caprica" the use of real-world day names is established and one similarly named holiday, Eros Day, is mentioned.
- The use of the name "Mars" is somewhat unusual in terms of Colonial relgious history. "Mars" is the Roman name of the Greek God of War, Ares. Colonials have been shown to usually use the Greek names of their deities. However, Jupiter and Mercury have been mentioned in other episodes as well.
- In French and other romance languages, the name for Tuesday derives from the latin "Martis dies" (literally, "Mars' Day"). The English name derives from "Tyr", the Norse equivalent of Mars. | <urn:uuid:f87a599f-c61e-4f7a-ad60-0f4e7baa9c1c> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://en.battlestarwiki.org/Mars_Day | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145500.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221080411-20200221110411-00140.warc.gz | en | 0.933385 | 188 | 2.796875 | 3 |
There are lots of super fast animals on the planet. Everybody understands the cheetah, which runs at sixty miles an hour just for a brief while, but what about other creatures with rate? I know a few that are quicker than any on earth. It’s a bird and a bug and such as the cheetah, both of these have issues with their speed also. The fastest bird appears to be the peregrine falcon. It goes around two hundred mph by electricity diving but never stops until it hits something it aims like prey. In the world wars, the Nazis trained and employed peregrine falcons to hunt down and kill carrier pigeons. Up to now, a few of the pigeons succeeded in bringing messages back and avoiding falcons that is among the reasons why the Nazis lost. He trains it to fly with such speed they can scare away geese preventing plane wrecks.
The bug I’m spoke about in the first paragraph, despite its size, is the fastest in the world and it’s known as the tiger beetle. The problem it has with its rate is its eyes.

Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors can evolve into malignant ones. Around 90 to 93% of all kidney growths turn out to be malignant, and there are currently no effective methods for early diagnostics. The initial stages of kidney cancer have no signs or specific symptoms, so patients are often diagnosed with kidney cancer when it has already metastasized. At this point, the doctors make prognosis not about the possibility of recovery, but about a patient’s life expectancy. Sechenov University researchers and German colleagues report a highly sensitive, painless method for diagnosing kidney cancer. This method is based on measuring of the immune response to arrestin-1, a retina protein that is synthesized in the cancerous cells of kidneys.

For every person who has experienced the beauty of the mountains and felt humbled by comparison.
John Muir’s Our National Parks—reissued to encourage, and inspire travelers, campers, and contemporary naturalists—is as profound for readers today as it was in 1901.
Take in John Muir’s detailed observations of the sights, scents, sounds, and textures of Yosemite, Yellowstone, and forest reservations of the West. Be reminded (as Muir sagely puts), “Wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.”
John Muir’s warmth, humor, and passionate advocacy for these public lands is enough to spur any reader on to plan a National Parks adventure of their own.
John Muir was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States, and founder of The Sierra Club. His letters, essays, and books of his adventures in nature have been read by millions. | <urn:uuid:629c2539-ff4f-4290-a88e-7c3fc33abe7b> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.cabinfeveroutfitters.com/products/our-national-parks-john-muir | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145654.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222054424-20200222084424-00219.warc.gz | en | 0.967671 | 227 | 3.125 | 3 |

What is the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017?
The Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017 is a Bill that seeks to make some important changes to the Mental Health Act, 2001. The changes proposed in the Bill will strengthen the rights and protections of people have when they are receiving treatment in hospital for their mental health. Some of the changes include:
- Introduce a definition of a ‘voluntary patient’ to include only people who have capacity to make their own decisions (with support if required) and who do give their consent to admission to hospital. At the moment, people who do not have the capacity to consent to admission and who do not object to admission are being considered voluntary patients, even though they are not able to consent to admission.
- Replace the existing principle of ‘best interests’ under the Mental Health Act, 2001 with principles of the Assisted Decision-Making Capacity Act, 2015. The 'best interests' principle has been interpreted very paternalistically in the Courts and has sustained a culture where, at times, the views of the doctor have been given priority over the views of the service user.

RICHMOND, Calif. -- Pop-pop-pop, a thunderous boom, or 30 seconds of rapid-fire cracks, but can you tell if it's gunshots or fireworks?
Hopefully, you'll never find yourself asking this question. Being able to quickly distinguish gunshots from fireworks and react fast is just one more skill to keep you safe.
We spoke with Alicia Moore, who works with the Richmond Police Department's Public Information Office, to learn how to distinguish the difference between fireworks and gunshots.
"Gunshots are very crisp and they have a certain timing or cadence to them."
"Fireworks are very loud, just like gunfire, but they are very sporadic. There is a lot of crackling, sometimes they echo and sometimes there is a whistle before the fireworks. You can see that it sounds kind of similar. If you close your eyes and imagine seeing beautiful fireworks, usually you can tell based on just the cadence alone."
If you are still not sure if what you heard was gunshots or fireworks, Moore advises you call 911 and let police know you think you heard gunshots.

Photochemical Oxidation of Organic Chelate Complexes
Original Publication Date: 1986-Oct-01
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2005-Mar-09
Organic chelates, which are soluble in water and which, by forming complexes with heavy metals, are detrimental to the environment, may be decomposed by irradiation with ultraviolet light in a wavelength range of about 185 to 254 nm and thus be non-detrimentally disposed of. Tests have been made with several solutions used for printed circuit board processes, which contained about 1 g/l ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). During those tests, EDTA decomposition curves (concentration according to time) were prepared for solutions containing EDTA and EDTA metal complexes. The solutions were irradiated with an UV lamp that was introduced into the solutions. During irradiation, EDTA oxidizes according to the reaction equations ClOH16O8N2 + 8.5 O2 T 10 CO2 + 5H2O + 2NH3 and 2NH3 + 4.5 O2 + 2e- T 2NO3- + 3H2O. | <urn:uuid:36f2225e-c9c1-4408-aae2-02d43bab9ebd> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://priorart.ip.com/IPCOM/000062193 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146066.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200225110721-20200225140721-00218.warc.gz | en | 0.943848 | 239 | 2.59375 | 3 |
Proton Therapy for Gastrointestinal Cancers
Gastrointestinal tract cancer, also called GI cancer, refers to cancers which occur anywhere within the digestive tract, such as the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, rectum and anus. GI cancers can be challenging to treat due to their location close to sensitive structures. Typically, a combination of treatments is used to treat GI tumors including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
The precision of proton therapy allows physicians the flexibility to treat tumors with higher doses of radiation while keeping healthy surrounding tissue out of the radiation fields. This reduction in dose to critical structures can result in reduced side effects. | <urn:uuid:8459cab5-e98f-427b-b1d0-e89dc3c6e945> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://provisionhealthcare.com/cancers-we-treat/gastrointestinal-cancers/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146665.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200227063824-20200227093824-00378.warc.gz | en | 0.940461 | 136 | 3.234375 | 3 |
Origin of Name
In the early days of European settlement the crossing point on the Lachlan River was known as ‘Coura Rocks’. There is some evidence that a cattle station was established by a Reverend Fulton which was also known as Coura Rocks. It is believed Cowra, probably coming from a Wiradjuri word “Ngoura”, is a word used to describe the local area. Certainly the New Wiradjuri Dictionary explains that “ngurang” means home, camp, place or country.

Our language acquisition concept is based on the principle of Immersion which means that English is used in our every-day communication. Our native English pre-school teachers guarantee a natural and authentic approach to the language which means that English comes natural and is no longer regarded as a foreign language. According to empirical studies, this method of Immersion is the most effective and successful method of early-childhood language acquisition. It is basically the same approach as to learning a native language. We listen to the children`s needs, we communicate and exchange ideas with the children and thus establish reliable relationships of trust and orientation.
And what comes after pre-school?
After your child has switched to primary school Kay International School – Kids Club offers special English language courses in the afternoon for primary school children in grades 1 to 4 and secondary grades 5 to 12. We wish to ensure that your children continuously develop their English language skills in an authentic environment throughout their entire school career. | <urn:uuid:ca1b171a-6aba-4f05-9007-25d98cec9b37> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://kayschool.de/en/about-us/english-immersion/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875141460.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200217000519-20200217030519-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.970849 | 193 | 2.734375 | 3 |
Book and Activities: The Bone Sparrow
Born in a refugee camp, all Subhi knows of the world is that he's at least 19 fence diamonds high, the nice Jackets never stay long, and at night he dreams that the sea finds its way to his tent, bringing with it unusual treasures. One day it brings him Jimmie. Carrying a notebook that she's unable to read and wearing a sparrow made out of bone around her neck - both talismans of her family's past and the mother she's lost - Jimmie strikes up an unlikely friendship with Subhi beyond the fence. As he reads aloud the tale of how Jimmie's family came to be, both children discover the importance of their own stories in writing their futures.
