Ancient medical texts may provide scientists with promising research avenues today. Photo by Martin Macinski/Courtesy Flickr Read more: here. According to an article from BBC News, the first concrete scientific proof of herbs and plants’ actual use in fighting various illnesses has been discovered in the form of clay pills from an Italian merchant vessel dated to 120 B.C.E. Tests by the Smithsonian Institute have revealed that these pills (kept sealed in tin boxes and “the size of coins”) contained carrot, parsley, wild onions, alfalfa, yarrow, celery and radish. They were likely used to treat intestinal diseases on board the ship and diluted with vinegar or water to ease ingestion. This post is actually about carrots and a Carrot Museum! |image from here.| |Image from Bibliodyssey - carrot images on left|

Navratri, the festival of nine nights is dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine forms. According to the Hindu calendar, Navratri begins from the first day of the bright fortnight of Ashwin which usually coincides with the end of the rainy season. The nine days have great religious significance as Goddess Durga, the divine mother, had destroyed the evil force (in the form of the demon Mahisashura) during this period. The festival is celebrated with true devotion and purity all over the country. People from various sections of the society irrespective of caste and creed celebrate this festival by visiting temples and offering pujas at the Mother’s feet. In some places special puja samarohas are also held by setting the images of Mother Durga on beautifully decorated pandals. Temples dedicated to Shakti also make arrangement for pujas and bratas to mark these nine days as true symbols of devotion and adoration towards the divine mother.

Tune of the Day: Cold Frosty Morning There are many versions of this lovely modal melody. There is an Irish version, a Scottish version and a version played in Appalachia. The tune is performed in a variety of styles ranging from bluegrass to modern Celtic, and of course it is open to a variety of interpretations. According to a couple of sources, “Cold Frosty Morning” was written to commemorate the battle of Culloden Moor, Scotland. On the very bloody morning of April 16, 1746, 8,000 English troops massacred a Scottish army of 7,000, ending the Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland. This did not, however, end the bloodshed. In order to ensure that the rebellion would not be rekindled, King George II gave the Duke of Cumberland instructions to punish the Scots. The English army started killing any Highlander they could find. Even Highlanders who had not joined the rebellion were slaughtered, and in some cases this also meant the murder of women and children. These acts earned the Duke of Cumberland the infamous title of “The Butcher”.

[Illustrations, footnotes and references available in PDF version] According to the IPCC, CO2-induced global warming will be net harmful to the world's marine species. One consequence of such harm, is a projected decline in ocean productivity. And in light of what the IPCC frequently refers to as the unprecedented modern rise in global temperature, it might reasonably be expected there should already be signs of a major negative impact on oceanic productivity. Yet the studies highlighted in this summary yield little evidence in support of the IPCC point of view. It would appear that by enhancing the upwelling of cooler nutrient-rich waters along the eastern margins of major ocean basins, global warming helps to significantly enhance global-ocean primary productivity, which leads in turn to an increase in global-ocean secondary productivity, as represented by the global fish catch.

Today I had a nice opportunity to spot the “Lunar X” on the First Quarter Moon! The Lunar “X” is a well-known “optical feature” on the Moon, which resembles the letter “X” when the lunar terminator is along just the right lunar longitude. The intersecting crater walls of Purbach, La Caille and Blanchinus make the illusion “X” that is only visible for a short time. Based on my observations during the past few months, it is possible to see the Lunar X when the moon is nearly 54% illuminated.This is why you cannot see it every month. In fact, the last time I was able to image it was during October 2012. By the way, I refer to Stellarium, a free planetarium software, to determine the lunar phase and illumination during a particular date and time for my location. Note that the values given by Stellarium may not be very exact, but they are still very useful as guides for amateur astronomers. My first image of the Lunar X: Both images were taken using my Canon Powershot SX40 HS camera.

|Search our website:| We explored forces in science this week. We examined pushing and pulling. We predicted the effects of forces on objects and how far they would move with different pushes and pulls. We chased marbles around the room but really we were checking out how far they rolled on different surfaces. We learned about wind power too and we decided to design and make our own windmills. We had lots of fun. About Our Blog We hope to use this blog to keep you updated on the events and learning in our school.

This well-familiar poem "The Language for the Eye" is one of Miles' poems in British Sign Language. Hold a tree in the palm of your hand, Or topple it with a crash. Sail a boat on finger waves, Or sink it with a splash. From your fingertips see a frog leap, At a passing butterfly. The world becomes the picture in this langauge for the eye. Follow the sun from rise to set, Or bounce it like a ball. Catch a fish in a fishing net, Or swallow it, bones and all. Make possible scurry, or airplanes fly. And people meet and part. The word becomes the action in this language of the heart. Based on the poem above, this poem interpreted into performance poetry by a Canadian Deaf actress Elizabeth Morris and her group. For an original version produced by Miles in British Sign Language, see the related link below.

Occupied in 1967, Golan Heights Are Legally Part of Syria. Speaking to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the Golan Heights “forever” part of Israel, irrespective of international law not recognizing it as Israeli territory. Israel occupied the Golan Heights militarily in 1967, and started building settlements there almost immediately. In 1981, Israel formally annexed Golan, though this is not recognized internationally. Legally, the Golan Heights are part of Syria, occupied by Israel. Since the annexation in 1981, Israeli officials have regularly denied publicly they’d be willing to give the territory up, though there were reports before the Syrian War that a deal had been broached on giving the Golan back to Syria as part of a broader peace deal. Since then, Israel has started some lucrative oil projects in the Golan Heights, which further make returning the territory to Syria unlikely, though the lack of international endorsement for the annexation means this is a territory issue that’s going to be a recurring issue in the future.

Trichonympha campanula. Light micrograph of many one-celled protozoan organisms, Trichonympha camp- anula. They are flagellates (hypermastigote) that live in the gut of termites. Their flagellae used in movement are seen as hair-like structures on the surface of each cell. These animals are pear- shaped, with the cell contents appearing granular. Many termites and wood-eating cockroaches rely on such flagellate organisms in order to digest wood. These organisms are particularly efficient at digesting the fibrous cellulose found in wood. Phase contrast with blue background. Magnification: x65 at 35mm size. Model release not required. Property release not required.

Mineral Level May Impact Dementia Risk HealthDay News — Magnesium levels, either too high or too low, are associated with an increased risk of dementia, according to a study published online September 20 in Neurology. Brenda C.T. Kieboom, MD, from the Erasmus MC-University Medical Center Rotterdam in the Netherlands, assessed serum magnesium levels in 9,569 participants in the Rotterdam Study, who were free from dementia at baseline (1997 to 2008). Participants (mean age, 64.9 years; 56.6% women) were followed until January 1, 2015, to determine incident dementia. The researchers found that over a median follow-up of 7.8 years, 823 participants were diagnosed with all-cause dementia. There was an increased risk of dementia associated with both low serum magnesium levels (≤0.79 mmol/L) and high serum magnesium levels (≥0.90 mmol/L) (hazard ratios, 1.32 and 1.30, respectively). "As we are the first to study this association, our results warrant replication in other population-based studies," the authors write.

NEW YORK (AP) — Worried health officials say a small but growing proportion of the youngest children in the U.S. have not been vaccinated against any disease. They say an estimated 100,000 young children have not had a vaccination against any of the 14 diseases for which shots are recommended. The numbers come from a telephone survey last year of the parents of about 15,000 toddlers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the numbers Thursday. The new estimate is based on finding that 1.3 percent of the children born in 2015 were completely unvaccinated. That’s up from the 0.9 percent seen in an earlier assessment of kids born in 2011. The researchers didn’t ask why parents didn’t get their kids vaccinated. Young children are especially vulnerable to complications from vaccine-preventable diseases.

This program will begin at 10 a.m. with a seminar describing the exploits of the nation against Japanese aggression. Trained for combat by Claire Chennault, the Flying Tigers (technically known as the American Volunteer Group ñ AVG), first went into combat shortly after the Japanese attack against Pearl Harbor and soon provided the Allies with the first positive combat results against an enemy that seemed otherwise unstoppable at the time. The program will conclude with a flight demonstration by the Planes of Fame Curtiss P-40N Warhawk, a fighter made famous in the hands of the AVG pilots. Throughout the year, Planes of Fame will host similar events on the first Saturday of each month, as well as a major two-day airshow in May and a fly-in at its auxiliary facility in Valle, Arizona in June. From March 1 through April 26, Planes of Fame will also host a Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum exhibit titled ìAt the Controls,î featuring large-format photographs of airplane and spacecraft cockpits; and, from April 28 through July 6, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian exhibit, Native Words, Native Warriors,î will tell the story of a unique Native American contribution to the Allied victory in World War II.

Most of us are not exercising to be world class athletes. However, using exercise to improve our quality of life is a realistic goal. Functional fitness refers to the ability to perform everyday tasks safely and effectively. Maintaining our functional fitness becomes even more important as we age. It will allow us to keep our independence and vitality. Functional exercises improve strength and range of motion while challenging core stability. Ideally, these exercises should work more than one muscle group at a time. This teaches our neuromuscular system how to respond and perform to its potential. So, remember fitness leads to improved function which forms our quality of life.

Achieving this for the Ogden/Weber State Corridor requires a vision that inspires local leaders, developers and neighbors to think creatively about the possibilities of what the corridor can become and what roles BRT and TOD can play in its transformation. Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a high-quality bus-based transit system that delivers fast, comfortable, and cost-effective services at metro-level capacities. It does this through the provision of dedicated lanes, with busways and iconic stations. Because BRT contains features similar to a light rail or metro system, it is much more reliable, convenient and faster than regular bus services.

The world is facing a global ecological crisis, and the global south / third world countries with vast natural resources and human population are burdened with carrying out measures to restrict the environmental devastation. International monetary and trade policies are playing with the development agenda of the countries, and India is following the same path. The Bhopal Union Carbide disaster is an example of how corporations and industries need to be monitored for adherence to protective and pollution restriction mechanism. Across country we have critical environmental issues of pesticides, GMO crops, industrial waste polluting rivers, and energy crisis. Mines, dams and power generation projects have taken vast acres of land, and people / communities are facing sustainable livelihood issues. Towards countering this situation we need to involve people in development planning and work on organic solutions. Check out more in the links ..

Your baby will talk some day, so what’s the point of using sign language with a child who doesn’t have a hearing problem? There are numerous benefits to signing with a baby who has yet to string together those babbles into a recognizable word. Infants taught sign language: - Can communicate wants and needs to their caregivers at an early age - Will have an earlier understanding of the English language - May learn to speak earlier - Could have an above-average ability later in life to learn a new language - May possibly have a higher I.Q. Parents who sign with their baby may experience: - Lower frustration levels (for both parent and baby) because the baby can communicate with you - Deeper bonding with their baby because they have greater insight into their baby’s mind - A higher level of trust from their baby because he or she knows that you understand what he or she is trying to tell you - Satisfaction. What a great feeling it is to know that you can effectively communicate with your pre-verbal infant

Date of this Version This NebGuide discusses why acidosis occurs, its economic considerations, and methods to prevent and treat acidosis. Acidosis is the most important nutritional disorder in feedlots today. Caused by a rapid production and absorption of acids from the rumen when cattle consume too much starch (primarily grain) or sugar in a short period of time, acidosis causes cattle to be stressed. As long as cattle are finished on grain, cows are grazed on cornstalk fields (grain consumption) or high energy (grain) diets are fed to dairy cows, acidosis will be an important problem. Cattle evolved digesting roughages that ferment slowly in the rumen. The rumen microbes of a forage-fed animal are selected for fiber digestion. Adjusting cattle to high grain diets from predominantly forage diets disrupts the normal microbial environment and precipitates acidosis.

The subspecialty of cornea and external diseases deals with conditions that affect the anterior segment of the eye. The anterior segment is the area located in the front of the eye that includes the cornea, conjunctiva, sclera, iris, ciliary body, and lens. The cornea is the outermost layer of the eye overlying the iris and pupil, where light enters the eye. Many conditions can cause damage to the cornea, and treatments are different depending on the severity of the condition. While most of these conditions can be treated with medication and other procedures, some require surgery or transplantation. Our team of specialists at Columbia University’s Department of Ophthalmology handles a wide variety of cornea conditions, and can help you decide which treatment plan is best for you.

What is an asset? In its simplest form, an ‘asset’ is something that you own, which can be sold or held with the intention of getting a return in the future. Therefore, an ‘asset class’ is a group of assets that are similar to each other. What can be in an asset class? Asset classes can be all sorts of things, but the most common ones include shares, cash, bonds, alternatives, property, and infrastructure investments. Each asset class has its own: - Risk profile and - Investment return characteristics. For example, bonds are traditionally regarded as being lower-risk, with moderate returns.

Genre : Other Area : Omijima & Kayoi Area 400 years ago, in the Edo Period, when Nagato and the surrounding lands were part of a small kingdom called Choshu, whaling with spears and nets was commonly practiced by the local people. Though whales were often killed for food and resources, the discovery of a whale fetus within the body of a mother inspired great feelings of compassion in the fishermen. In response, they constructed this tomb, where they carefully buried the whale calf and held funeral rites. The whale calf's mortuary tablet and death registry are preserved in Kogan-ji Temple. Prayers for the whales are held annually in the early spring.

The destruction is only beginning An ill-fated gas cloud has begun a close encounter with the monstrous black hole at the center of the Milky Way, a fresh set of observations reveals. Astronomers don’t expect the cloud to emerge intact, resulting in an unprecedented view of our galaxy’s largest black hole feasting on its prey. In December 2011, astronomers identified the gas cloud, called G2, and found that its orbit would bring it perilously close to the Milky Way’s central black hole by mid-2013. Nineteen months ago, the immense gravity of the black hole, which weighs in at about 4.3 million times the mass of the sun, was already squeezing and stretching the gas cloud as if it were pasta dough. Now images captured in April with the Very Large Telescope in Chile show that the leading edge of G2 has whipped around the black hole’s far side. “The line of sight is such that the gas cloud is falling away from us toward the black hole,” says Stefan Gillessen of the M

The First Skirmish of The French and Indian War This storyboard does not have a description. George Washington and his troops leave the town hall and march to the Ohio River in the spring of 1754. George Washington and his troops encounter a small French force. A small skirmish breaks out. Soon after, George Washington and his troops flee. They are heading for west Pennsylvania. When George Washington and his men reach west Pennsylvania, they establish a small wooden building with a wooden barrier around it. This would later be called Fort Necessity. Not long after, the French find Fort Necessity. The French are much more strong and powerful than George Washington's troops. George Washington and his troops then surrender to the superior French forces. Explore Our Articles and Examples Try Our Other Websites!

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) states that the FDA has failed to generate any sunscreen safety standards. Many makeup products, particularly foundation and lip balms, contain chemical sunscreens. According to the EWG, however, the evidence that chemical sunscreen protects you from skin cancer is minimal, at best, and some evidence even shows that chemical sunscreen may increase the risk of developing melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Likewise, sunscreen blocks vitamin D absorption, and many chemical sunscreens contain potential hormone disruptors that can be absorbed through the skin. It’s understandable that you want your cosmetics to smell nice. Unfortunately, many fragrances are chemically generated and can contain multiple chemical compounds. According to The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, fragrance is considered a “trade secret,” so there’s no way of knowing just what those chemicals are. Instead, you’ll typically find these trade secret scents listed in the ingredients merely as “fragrance.” Possible problems with the chemicals used to create fragrance include allergic reactions, hormone disruption from phthalates and synthetic musks, and even neurotoxic effects from certain chemicals.

single case design An N-of-1 trial is a crossover trial done within a single individual who receives two or more treatments for periods of time in a particular (usually random) order. For example, to assess whether an inhaled drug could help a patient with a persistent, dry cough, during some weeks, chosen randomly, the patient would use an inhaler containing a drug; during other weeks the patient would use an identical-looking inhaler which did not contain the drug. The treatment effect is estimated by comparing outcomes (e.g. coughing) in the weeks during which one treatment was allocated to outcomes in the weeks during which the other treatment was allocated.

The day the bird was set free… The dawn of 15th August 1947 was filled with an air of freedom. The birds flew in happiness, the sun came out as usual but this time it was brighter, people had lots to talk, great news spread everywhere. At last its freedom for us. Mother was free from the clutches of the British. INDIA is now INDEPENDENT. A reign that lasted a century was ousted from our land. Celebrations spread the country. Joy and merry made its maiden journey to the minds of every Indian since a century. The freedom that we enjoy today is the result of the sacrifice made by our forefathers and great National Leaders. To commemorate the day every year on August 15th celebrations are held across the country. The ceremonial send off given to the British and the warm welcome extended to the country in its infancy gives Goosebumps to every citizen of India. The 100 year long fight for independence is the perfect example to substantiate the saying “United we stand, Divided we fall”.

A device based on the 802.11 protocol that is used to add desktop computers and printers in remote locations to the network without having to string cables or equip each one with a Wi-Fi adapter. Commonly called a "wireless bridge" without Wi-Fi in the name, the bridge has several Ethernet ports for plugging in computers. Like all Wi-Fi hotspots, it does not require line-of-site. It can be set up almost anywhere and transmit over the air to another Wi-Fi bridge or access point that is wired to the main network. Some Wi-Fi bridges are designed to connect to only one device. In addition, long-distance bridges may require line-of-site. See wireless bridge , powerline network , cellular hotspot , wireless game adapter Adding a Wireless Bridge The bridge provides connectivity to the wireless network for wired machines in remote locations.

Most people base the quality of the air they breathe on two factors; the way it smells and the way it looks. While these are good indicators of some air problems, they are not fail-proof. This is proven by the deadliness of natural gas, which has no odor unless it is added for safety purposes. Definitely, a room filled with smoke is a good indicator of poor air quality indoors because you can see it and smell it, but there are many materials that emit gas vapors that attack us silently and without our knowledge. This exposure can manifest itself in several ways. In the short-term, irritation of the throat, nose, and eyes is common. Continued exposure can produce Read more

Abstract Research was conducted on a smaller Wyoming foothills stream to attempt to develop a method for predicting the effect of winter ice-cover on the habitat available to a brown trout population. Predictive equations were developed relating percent habitat excluded to the following parameters: days from the winter solstice, degree days of frost, mean water velocity, and mean effective water depth. The resultant method could be of value to resource managers in determining winter instream flows to maintain trout habitat.

The Dalits (untouchables) are on the lowest rung of the Indian caste system. They are descendants of the aboriginal inhabitants of India. The name Dalit comes from a Sanskrit word “dal”, meaning ‘broken, torn, downtrodden, outcast, trampled, destroyed and openly despised’. It is estimated that they number about 240 million, about a fifth of India’s population. To be a Dalit – that is, to be born a Dalit – normally means a lifetime of being despised by others, inferiority, poverty and demeaning social conditions. Particularly in rural areas they often suffer massive discrimination at the hands of the higher castes, even to the point of persecution and torture. Dalits do the lowest of menial labour such as cleaning latrines or clearing away rubbish, and many are oppressed as agricultural labourers. They often live, even today, in segregated areas. Because only a few Dalits have adequate schooling, many are illiterate and child labour is very common.

Working with a CMS In this first chapter we’ll be taking a high-level view of what a content management system (CMS) is and introducing django CMS: a modern content management system based on the Django Framework. We will start with a very brief history of content management and how digital versions of old paper-based systems have evolved to handle the vast quantities of information that is disseminated across the world every minute of the day. I will close the chapter with an outline of the contents of this book and a summary of the things you will learn as you go. A Brief History Back in the old days of the Internet (10 years ago), ...

Fluticasone asthma drug molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the asthma drug fluticasone. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour- coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red), fluorine (green) and sulphur (yellow). Fluticasone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids that have anti- inflammatory properties. It is taken in aerosol form, using an inhaler, and prevents asthma attacks by relieving inflammation of the airways. It will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. Model release not required. Property release not required.

Project title: The genetics of cognitive biases in the development and treatment of psychiatric disorders Summary: Both genes and the environment influence the development and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Gene-environment interaction (GxE) studies suggest that genetic variants moderate the effects of negative and positive environments on psychopathology (Belsky and Pluess 2009). These same variants may also be important predictors of response to psychological treatments (Keers, Coleman et al. 2016). However, Little is known about the mechanisms underlying these associations. It has been suggested that genetic variants increase sensitivity to the environment through cognitive biases, such as an increased attention towards emotional stimuli (Fox, Zougkou et al. 2011, Pergamin-Hight, Bakermans-Kranenburg et al. 2012). Nevertheless, this hypothesis has only been tested in a select few candidate genes, and is yet to be explored using genome-wide data. The broad aims of the project are 1) to use whole-genome data to understand the relationship between cognitive biases and psychiatric disorders and 2) investigate whether genes implicated in cognitive biases moderate the effects of the environment on the development of psychiatric illnesses and response to psychological interventions.

There has actually been ethanol in fuel for a great deal longer than many people presume. Henry Ford's initial automobile was in fact powered solely by this biofuel back in 1896. Specification Oil started utilizing it in its gas formulas in the 1920s that can help engine performance. It wasn't until the latter part of the twentieth century that this lasting energy product began to be marketed commercially. The combination of rising oil quotes and environmental worries has led to using this additive as a replacement for various other petroleum-based components that power the country's cars. The disagreements of enemies are likewise engaging. Suppliers explain that the reduced power material of these energy blends inevitably equates right into more gas usage as well as higher prices for the consumer. The newer flex-fuel cars, which utilize a mix of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, in fact have a lower gas mileage than their typical counterparts. A second disagreement is that older engines (those made prior to 2001) are not authorized for the more recent blends as well as might endure damages. Last but not least, there is a continuous conversation as to whether land that could be made use of for increasing food plants should, as an alternative, be used to produce plants for energy.

Morocco gained independence from France ended in 1956 and the internationalized city of Tangier was turned over to the new country that same year. Morocco virtually annexed Western Sahara during the late 1970s, but final resolution on the status of the territory remains unresolved. Gradual political reforms in the 1990s resulted in the establishment of a bicameral legislature The capital city is Rabat, Arabic (official), the official currency is the Moroccan Dirham, and French, other languages are spoken. A population 30,120,000 live in 37 provinces (increasing in number all the time) within 446,300 sq km (172,316 sq miles). Morocco has a primarily Mediterranean climate that becomes more extreme towards the interior. At 32 00 N, 05 00 W. The northern coast and interior are mountainous with large areas of bordering plateaus, intermontane valleys, and rich coastal plains - the lowest point is Sebkha Tah -55 m and the highest is Jebel Toubkal

The surface area of its six glaciers has shrunk from 45 square kilometers in 2010 to 37 square kilometers in 2017, for a decline of 18 percent, the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies said. It blamed the glacier loss on “extreme events associated with natural phenomena and climate change.” If things go on like this the snow and ice covering atop Santa Isabel, a volcano in the Cordillera Central mountains, could vanish over the next 10 years, said Omar Franco, the head of the institute. In the last two years alone, Colombia has lost six percent of its glacier mass, the institute said. Environment Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo said Colombia has much to lose in global warming because in the whole world it is ranked second only to Brazil in terms of biodiversity. “We call on countries that are big emitters of greenhouse gases to live up to their commitments,” Murillo said.

Question:What are the recommendations of the Holy Quran with respect to parents? Answer: Respecting parents and showing the proper behavior towards them are issues that are considered very important to Allah (SWT). As a result, a considerable number of verses in the Holy Quran and narrations from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) and his progeny are dedicated about parents. In browsing these verses and narrations, one may find that many of the explanations and expressions about respect to parents are very astonishing, and are not said about other topics. Martyrdom of Imam Sajjad (PBUH) After the incident of Ashura one of the key educational efforts of Imam Sajjad was to educate his followers in virtues and moralities, focusing on their behavior and language, which impacts one morality. His advise to protect the thoughts and beliefs through socializing with those who have piety were among the important guidelines of growth.

Are moles invading your yard? Moles are insectivores (bug eaters) that live underground. Their primary foods are earthworms, grubs, and other subterranean insects and insect larvae. Most moles are functionally blind. Usually, moles are solitary animals that avoid each other’s tunnels, so there is often only 1-5 moles in a given yard causing damage. What kind of damage do they do? Moles damage lawns by tunneling through the root systems and exposing the roots to air and physical damage. The mole’s work usually looks like a system of raised tunnels just below the grass or dirt mounds spread through the lawn (that are not ant hills). At ALL THINGS WILD, we use specific traps and trapping knowledge to capture the moles that are destroying your lawn. We DO NOT recommend repellants, sonic devices, or other methods for mole control services. Please call us to discuss your options for mole control services.

Part of Kimberley WA The Kimberley region of northern Western Australia is a vast region covering more than 400 000 square kilometres. It is home to Aboriginal people of diverse language and cultures. Kimberley art is recognised as a strong and distinctive style. The first of the major developments in Kimberley painting was at Warmun (Turkey creek), south of Kununurra when a group of artists emerged in the late 1970s who painted ceremonial boards using natural ochres. The style of painters such as the late Rover Thomas, Queenie McKenzie, Jack Britten and others is identifiable by its use of flat areas of thick ochre, silhouette forms and marking of outlines with white or pale ochre dots.

Students will discuss why people told stories both historically and today. Then they can develop their own stories about things they observe in the world around them. Our "Native Peoples" unit contains two lesson plans, each taking an hour to complete, and targeted mainly at 4th-6th grade students. A class needn't complete every lesson in the unit, though some lessons do refer to one another and are better done in sequence. Each lesson comes with its own set of objectives and resources as well as suggestions for related activities. VocabularySeminole, oral tradition Last updated: April 14, 2015

A red sprite is a rare type of electrical discharge that can occur above a large thunderstorm. They can take on a number of different shapes and are usually red to orange. Sprites only last fractions of a second and are faint so are hard to spot with the naked eye. They rise between 50 and 90km above the Earth’s surface. They are triggered by positive lightning between a cumulonimbus cloud and the ground. They were only first photographed in 1989. To capture them you need to have the right conditions. A dark clear sky and a good view of the atmosphere above a distant thunderstorm. Unlike ordinary lightning, these electrical discharges are not high temperature, but are more like the discharges inside fluorescent light tubes. Here’s a timelapse video showing some sprites, produced by Randy Halverson: Other types of upper-atmospheric lightning are blue jets, blue starters, gigantic jets and ELVES. You can read more about them in this Wikipedia article.

Eating is high up on our list of occupations as people. When you are unable to eat, it can be very detrimental to your life. There are many reasons why a person can’t eat. It could be caused by oral-motor problems where the muscles of the mouth don’t work very well. Another cause is sensory, where something about the food is very negative. The sensory problem can be related to texture, flavor, or smell, or a combination of many things. When working with sensory problems, there are many stages to go through. You have to do some oral desensitization, then transition to different textures such as starting with solid foods if they are only drinking, and then transitioning to lumpy foods. Another cause of food aversion is physical pain. The pain could be caused by severe reflux or mouth sores. Some children have such tiny stomachs that they are physically not able to eat much, and some have slow stomach emptying so they are full for a very long time.

The cross body triceps extension is an easy way to work the back of the arm. There are three muscles that make up the triceps: long head, medial head, and lateral head. The function of the triceps is to extend the elbow. So any time you push a door closed, throw a ball, or put something away in a cabinet, your triceps are involved. For this exercise, you will need a flat resistance band. Locate the center of the ban and hold it securely on your hip. Grasp the opposite end of the band. Lift your elbow until it is parallel to the floor or slightly higher. Bend your arm so that your hand is near your shoulder area; then extend your elbow straight out. Be sure to keep your elbow stationary as you extend it. Perform the movement several times. Repeat the exercise on the opposite arm. Place band on hip. Lift elbow until parallel to floor. Bend arm so that hand is near shoulder area. Slowly extend elbow. Keep elbow stationary at all times. Repeat several times on both arms.

Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry SDL designed, fabricated, integrated, tested, and calibrated the SABER instrument, a 10-channel cryogenic infrared (1.27 to 16.9 µm) radiometer. SABER is one of four instruments on NASA's Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) mission, launched in December 2001. SABER’s science objectives are to globally explore the mesosphere and lower thermosphere and make global day/night vertical profile measurements of atmospheric temperature, density, and pressure. The mission focuses on the least understood portion of the Earth’s atmospheric region—the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere/Ionosphere—located approximately 40 to 110 miles above the Earth. Data collected is being used to predict weather and global warming. The TIMED mission has been extended by NASA numerous times and has now collected data over an entire solar cycle, which helps in its goal to differentiate the Sun's effects on the atmosphere from other effects. SABER’s thermal, optical, electrical, and pointing systems are performing impeccably with no anomalies in mission operation functionality after nearly two decades on-orbit.

Gopher Purge Plant: Is It Toxic to Dogs?by Carlye Jones Gopher purge also is known as gopher spurge, mole plant and more formally as Euphorbia lathyris. It takes its name from the fact that it is often planted to repel or control gopher and mole populations. The substances in the plant that affect gophers and moles also affect dogs. Unsafe for Gophers or Dogs Gopher purge is toxic to humans and pets, including dogs. It contains a thick, milky substance that irritates anything it comes into contact with. In dogs, gopher purge can cause bloody diarrhea, loss of appetite, rapid heart rate and dilated pupils. Since it is an irritant, it also can cause a burning sensation on your dog's lips, mouth, tongue and nose. In large amounts, gopher purge can be deadly. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog has been chewing on or eating gopher purge. If the plant is growing in areas where your dog regularly spends time, take steps to eradicate it. - Janie Airey/Lifesize/Getty Images

weight matters: Obesity contributes to global warming, says a study. Obese people require 1,680 daily calories to sustain normal energy and another 1,280 calories to maintain daily activities. This is 18 per cent more than someone with a stable body mass index. The next step will be to quantify how much a heavier population is contributing to climate change, higher fuel prices and food shortages. acidic pacific: Scientists surveying the waters of the continental shelf off the West Coast of North America have discovered high levels of acidified ocean water. They found that this water was being upwelled seasonally from the deeper ocean and that this phenomenon is about 50 years old. This suggests that future ocean acidification will increase since carbon dioxide levels have increased rapidly over the past half century. We are a voice to you; you have been a support to us.

The La Plata Dolphin is one small but interesting looking animal; it has the longest beak relative to size of any cetacean. The La Plata dolphin, or Franciscana, is a river dolphin native to parts of the coastal Atlantic waters of southeast South America. This dolphin is the only member of its family Pontoporiidae. Strangely, although it’s a river dolphin, it’s the only one of this group that also lives in the ocean and saltwater estuaries. That’s quite unlike other river species like the Amazon River dolphin that inhabits freshwater exclusively. La Plata dolphins are one of the smallest dolphins worldwide. In fact, they could easily hold the

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum zeylanicum OTHER COMMON NAMES: Ceylon Cinnamon, Cinamomo (Spanish) Cinnamon is a handsome tree and, although frost sensitive, is reasonably well suited to growth in south Florida. Those who would consider growing this plant to produce spice should be apprised of the fact that the spice consists of the inner bark. In other words, the tree must be severely pruned back to accommodate spice production. The leaves and fruits are aromatic and lend themselves to various uses. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION Members of the Cinnamomum genus are widely distributed throughout the world’s warm regions. However, true cinnamon is probably native to Sri Lanka. Other closely related species are native to Southeast Asia, primarily China and Vietnam. Cinnamon was used in Chinese medicine prior to 2500 B.C. In Florida, it may be grown as far north as Palm Beach County. The tree suffers serious damage if the temperature drops to 28° F.

A study described in a working paper titled, The Effect of Mobile Phone Use on Prosocial Behavior, links the use of cell phones to selfish behavior. In the study, “prosocial behavior” was defined as “action intended to benefit another person or society as a whole.” The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland‘s Robert H. Smith School of Business. The researchers found that following a brief period of interaction with an actual or imagined cell phone, participants’ prosocial behaviors were diminished. …after a short period of cellphone use the subjects were less inclined to volunteer for a community service activity when asked, compared to the control-group counterparts. The cell phone users were also less persistent in solving word problems – even though they knew their answers would translate to a monetary donation to charity.” — Announcement, Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland © Tony Leininger and IT for Good 2012. See sidebar for full copyright notice.

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. 2010 July 30 Explanation: As the New Moon's shadow slid across the southern Pacific on July 11, people gathered along the white, sandy Anakena Beach on the north side of Easter Island to watch a total solar eclipse. The experience was captured in this tantalizing composite image, constructed from a sequence of 50 consecutive exposures. At their center is the totally eclipsed Sun surrounded by a shimmering solar corona. From the well chosen viewpoint, palm trees appear in silhouette against a darkened sky and the faint light reflected in the water. Of course, towering above the onlookers, at the boundaries of land, ocean, and sky are Moai, the island's mysterious monolithic statues.

MAC Georgia is transforming the lives of the most vulnerable by providing them with the resources they need and by strengthening the systems and individuals that give them care. that change lives. More than a billion people (or 1 out of every 7 persons) live with a disability, according to the World Health Organization. Approximately 80% of these live in developing countries where they experience isolation, prejudice, and adverse physical conditions. Many lack the most basic information about their disabilities. Rehabilitation services are sparse and inadequate in these environments. Schools cannot handle this diversity of educational needs. Rather than flourishing and becoming an integrated part of the community, persons with disabilities are hidden away, dependent, unable to reach their full potential. Envisioning a world where all have access to quality education and services. We at MAC share the following beliefs: - Access to appropriate services and qualified professionals will enable persons with disabilities to reach their full potential; - Investment in the education of a few will impact the lives of many; - Introduction of appropriate tools and knowledge into the context of a particular country will create lasting, meaningful change in that country.

Jordan is a land rich in history, since the dawn of civilization, It has a played an important role in trade between east and west because of it is geographic location at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. Jordan has been home to some of mankind's earliest settlement and relics of many of the world's great civilizations can still be found today. Jordan played a vital role in Roman, Biblical, early Islamic, and Curseder periods . From the moment you arrive, you get a sense of the past .All around are remnants of civilizations long since relegated to the history backs, yet they still remain, and stamped into the very fabric of this amazing kingdom, and etched into the soul of the people who live here. From the ancient Nabatean city of Petra , the miracle of the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley , the wonders of the Red sea and Wadi Rum , to the fine hotels, shopping centers and art galleries of modern Amman , Jordan truly is a nation rich in history and culture.

Four case scenarios illustrate the selection and interpretation of investigations to diagnose benign and malignant thyroid lumps. - Thyroid nodules are common. - Investigation requires clinical assessment, thyroid function tests and ultrasonography. - Use of fine needle aspiration biopsy is guided by clinical and ultrasound-based suspicion of malignancy. - If the patient is hyperthyroid (low serum TSH [thyroid stimulating hormone] level) then a thyroid radionuclide uptake scan is indicated. - Thyroid cytopathology drives further surgical or nonsurgical management. - Radioactive iodine ablation is undertaken when the patient is in a hypothyroid state or after thyrotrophin-alfa administration. - Serum thyroglobulin level is used to monitor disease recurrence. - Thyroid cancer prevalence may be increased in autoimmune thyroid disease.

After reading McIntosh’s “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack,” a number of students commented that this piece must have been written in the 1950’s. In fact, it was written in the 1990’s. Though things have changed drastically since the Jim Crow era, we still have progress to make. For example, even African-Americans attending Harvard still feel the mechanisms of racism today in 2014. Here is a recent photo-campaign dealing with diversity on Harvard’s campus which speaks to some of McIntosh’s ideas: I, Too, Am Harvard. Students will watch most of the PBS documentary Slavery by Another Name which covers the period of time immediately following the Emancipation Proclamation. Most Americans believe that freedom came easily and instantaneously after Lincoln’s speech, but that was not the case. Isabel Wilkerson wrote The Warmth of Other Suns which chronicles the Great Migration out of the south to New York & the east coast, Chicago & the Midwest, and LA & the west. Wilkerson was interviewed on Democracy Now where she discussed the three primary tales in her book.

You want your students to remember what you taught them about how to stop bleeding, including the use of the tourniquet. presentation you ask questions on these methods. What's your main reason for asking these questions? 41A. In planning ways of starting a discussion for a group familiar with discussion techniques, you may need only to state the topic, comment on its importance, raise a question, and wait for someone to answer it. As an example: The leader of a military history discussion group plans to open his discussion with the following statements: o The topic is World War I, particularly US participation. o Ten million men were killed. o No previous war approached it in magnitude. o New weapons were introduced which were further developed in World o What weapons were responsible for the large number of casualties? What assumption about the group has the discussion leader made?

A large cellar has been discovered at the northeast corner of James Fort's 1608 addition. It seems likely that the building associated with cellar is indeed from the fort period (ca. 1607-1624). During the 2016 field season the archaeologists will be continuing to explore the fill layers in the cellar. So far the artifacts coming from the layers are typical of the fort period: pig bones, trade beads, scraps of copper, iron nails, a lead cloth seal, and a Krauwinckel jetton (a casting counter that may have helped calculate accounts with Roman numbers). In the bottom of the cellar the Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists have located a square shaped well shaft. Excavations this season expect to find a wooden lining to the well shaft like the one seen in a circa 1610 square well found in the northern corner of the triangular portion of the fort. The wooden frame should survive below the level of the water table due to the anaerobic, or oxygen-free, conditions. The lack of oxygen deep in the well will likely have prevented bacteria from thriving and degrading the wooden structure.

Dump that damping-off diseases Best agricultural produce are often derived from good production inputs which include high quality and disease free planting materials. But the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides to minimize disease infestation especially during seed germination stage remains to be a formidable challenge for our local farmers today. To address this long-standing problem, a study on the use of Trichoderma as a control agent of damping-off disease in vegetable was conducted by a research group headed by Dr. Virginia C. Cuevas at UP Los Banos. The project, which wa supported by the Bureau of Agricultrual Research (BAR), determined the efficacy of Tricoderma as a biological control agent against the pre emergent and post-emergent damping off diseases in lowland vegetables. The damping off diseases, usually caused by fungal pathogens under moist or damp conditions are fatal to seedlings.

Ysgyryd Fawr is the most easterly of the Black Mountains in Wales, part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The name is often anglicised to The Skirrid or Skirrid Fawr, and the mountain is also known as Holy Mountain or Sacred Hill. The spelling Skyrrid is also encountered in older literature. The lower hill of Ysgyryd Fach or 'Little Skirrid' (270m) lies about 4.5 km / 2.5 mi to the south. It is 486 m high and lies just outside Abergavenny , Monmouthshire, about 10 miles from the English border. The Beacons Way passes along the ridge . Its distinctive shape comprises a long ridge oriented nearly north–south, with a jagged western side resulting from ice age landslips . The upper slopes of the hill are composed of Devonian age sandstones assigned to the Brownstones Formation. These overlie weaker mudstones of the St Maughans Formation - a situation which has contributed to the instability of the hill's steep flanks.

FUZHOU — China and 12 island countries agreed on Sept 21 to strengthen cooperation in the blue economy and protect the environment of islands for sustainable development. China will work with island countries to protect the ocean and implement the UN sustainable development goals, said Wang Hong, head of the State Oceanic Administration at the China-Island Countries Ocean-related Ministerial Roundtable. China hopes to boost practical cooperation with island countries on the Belt and Road Initiative, said Wang at the meeting held on Sept 21 in Pingtan, East China’s coastal Fujian province. Participating countries include Antigua and Barbuda, Samoa, Cape Verde, the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Sao Tome and Principe. A declaration adopted by the meeting proposed a blue partnership and a cooperation mechanism for developing the blue economy, environmental protection, disaster prevention and oceanic technology.

Suppose you send a string of bits where a bit might have been flipped during the transmission. You can add an extra parity bit at the end that can be used to detect errors. What if you wanted to correct the error? Richard Hamming developed an error-correcting code (now called the Hamming code) that encodes 4 bits into 16 codewords of 7 bits each such that every two codewords differ in at least three bits (which we now call the Hamming distance). 0000000 1101001 0101010 1000011 1001100 0100101 1100110 0001111 1110000 0011001 1011010 0110011 0111100 1010101 0010110 1111111 If there is a single error then there is a unique codeword within one bit of the damaged string. By having an error-correcting code you can continue a process instead of just halting when you detect a bad code. The Hamming code is a linear code, the bitwise sum mod 2 of any two codewords is another codeword. This linear idea led to many more sophisticated codes which have had many applications in computer science, practical and theoretical.

Examines mother-daughter conflict and social assimilation in “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid. In “Girl”, the theme of conflicts between a mother and her daughter and traditional and Western or modern values are portrayed by Jamaica Kincaid?s effective illustration of her relationship with her mother. The paper shows how Kincaid, a contemporary American Caribbean writer, illustrates in her work the dynamics of human relationships among immigrants trying to assimilate with the dominantly Westernized, English society. This paper looks at the fallacies and ideologies that are illustrated in “Girl’ to show superiority of Western culture (as portrayed by the mother) as both characters try to adjust and assimilate within their new modern English society. Proper behavior of a woman or women among men illustrates how English society, as compared with Kincaid’s native culture, is extremely rigid and conservative. Superstitions are characteristic of the women’s African culture, but these are used to promote Western culture and eliminate native values held important by Kincaid. Indeed, social hierarchy, particularly stratification, is evident in the narrative, making a distinction between the acceptable (Western culture) and unacceptable (native African culture).

The Twits' Bee-Bot world Bee-Bot Worlds for The Twits Over the course of this half term, the children have thoroughly enjoyed reading The Twits by Roald Dahl. We decided to make a Bee-Bot world for The Twits. Before the children could do anything, they had to decide what would be in their world. They came up with all sorts, a swamp, monkey cages, quick sand and so on. They then used their ideas to construct a world. Once the world was constructed, they then used cards to program where the Bee-Bot would travel. We had some interesting results! Programming a Bee-Bot is the first stage of computing programming and coding. The children did really well.

The Trevi Fountain, with the homonymous square, is the most famous and fascinating fountain of Rome and certainly one of the world's most famous fountains and represents one of the most visited tourist destinations of Rome. The Trevi Fountain, represents an Ocean on a shell-shaped chariot pulled by seahorses, led by Tritons and is the terminal of the Aqueducts "Vergine", one of the oldest Roman aqueducts still in use since the time of Augustus. It Was wanted in 19 BC by Marcus Vespasian Agrippa to feed the thermal baths which he himself had built in the Pantheon. The work was evidently of extreme importance to the city, because citizens finally could use once again water from a source, instead of the water of Tevere River. The fountain that we admire today was begun by Pope Clement XII in 1732.

Use of pain drug in pregnancy related with ADHD A new study says that women who use a lot of acetaminophen during pregnancy may be more likely to have children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol is a common medicine used to reduce pain and treat fever, infections. The research was done on around 113,000 children and their parents. It also included 2,246 kids who were identified with ADHD. It found that almost half of the mothers took the medicine at some time during pregnancy. Women who used the medicine for 22 to 28 days were at more risk to have kids with ADHD. This is compared with mothers who did not use the medicine during pregnancy.

The Richat Structure,also known as the “Eye of Africa”, is a prominent circular feature in the Sahara’s Adrar Plateau, in west–central Mauritania. The structure is a deeply eroded dome with a total diameter of almost 50 km, while the center of concentric rings is 30 km width. These concentric rings are actually alternating layers of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks that were pushed upward in a symmetrical anticline, geologic dome, from below due to a small incursion of magma.

Sharry Edwards, Founder and Innovator of Human BioAcoustics Sharry developed a scientific format for computational biology using the sounds of the human voice. She calls this new field of discovery Sonistry. Just as we have a system of basic elements that we call, chemistry, there is a basic set of sounds/frequencies that can monitor, predict and manage biological function. String theory found a basis for the existence of DNA; Sonistry is the basic system for RNA. (DNA is the pattern; RNA maintains the pattern.) Sharry is the acknowledged pioneer in the emerging field of Human BioAcoustic Vocal Profiling. She has for many years provided the leading-edge research to show the voice as a holographic representation of the body. Each person, place, thing and emotion has a “Frequency Equivalent”. This is known as a Signature Sound which actually consists of several octaves of sound. Anomalous Frequency Equivalents of a signature sound can be used to predict what distress will occur.

In this approach, an etalon, integrated in a single-mode fiber, illuminated by a supercontinuum light source, is used to realize a photonic comb, which is a light field characterized by a periodic spectrum made of narrowband lines (the “teeth” of the “comb”). The output of this calibration reference is subsequently fed into a multi-mode fiber, creating in this way skew rays, which are in turn fed into a beam expander to match the input of the spectrograph. This provides a specific advantage in the calibration of the chromatic distortions across the field compared to conventional arc lamp-based calibrators. The resulting distortion mapping is both intuitive and allows reconstruction directly from the comb PSF locations via established computational methods. The reconstruction of the spectrum has been demonstrated with better than 0.5% residuals, with potential for further improvement. The use of photonic combs has great potential in advancing the precision of optical system calibration. You must log in to add comments.

Scientifically speaking, a squid is not a fish, but a mollusk. Mollusks are soft-bodied creatures that have gills in order to breath through. Squid live in various bodies of water throughout the world. There are around 300 different recognized species as of 2014. Squid vary in size greatly and while some only grow to 25 inches in length, there are certain species that can grow to astonishing lengths of around 40 feet. Due to their soft bodies, squid are preyed upon by many other sea creatures, including larger fish. Squid are also commercially fished as they are considered delicacy in some cultures.

Learning language, using imagination, and exploring the world take on new dimensions when children are exposed to books and other media in their surroundings. As children develop, literacy becomes a gateway to higher-order thinking. And it is often this very area where individuals with autism struggle. Becoming literate starts early in life. Sharing picture books, hearing nursery rhymes, drawing pictures, playing with puppets, and telling stories are just a few ways for children to begin the process of learning to read. For too long, this arena of development as been seen as inaccessible to children with autism given their challenges. The Center for Engaging Autism does not believe that excellence in literacy is unattainable for children with autism. And new research and strategies support this belief. We want to bring you what the experts are learning about how you can support your child’s vocabulary development and comprehension of stories. This initiative is made possible with a grant from the Minnesota Department of Education using federal funding, CFDA 84.027A, Special Education- Grants to States.

An albino cockroach would be a cockroach that has a congenital disorder that lends it a reduced amount of pigment in its body. However, albinism is completely unknown in cockroaches, and so-called "albino" cockroaches are actually regular roaches that have recently shed their old casings. Albinism is a condition that affects pigment throughout an animal's body. An albino animal has either a reduced amount of or no pigment in its hair, skin, eyes, or other organs. In humans, albinism is characterized by a lack of melanin, which results in very pale skin, blond hair and pinkish irises. Albinism in insects is only recorded in a handful of species, and true albinism in cockroaches is entirely unknown. Although very light cockroaches are sometimes seen, these faux albinos are cockroaches that have recently molted. When a cockroach molts, its new casing is initially very soft and white. After a few hours, it hardens and takes on its proper coloration.

Following in the flight patterns of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the Columbus, Ohio, Airport Authority has implemented a food recycling and waste prevention program with the Solid Waste Association of Central Ohio (SWACO), Grove City, to reduce the amount of waste going into the Franklin county landfill. The program aims to divert nearly 200 tons of waste annually from the landfill, according to Columbus Airport Authority executive director Elaine Roberts. Currently, more than 13 million people visit the airport every year, she says. Through the program, visitors are encouraged to use proper recycling and waste containers through visual images such as universal icons and multilingual signs located throughout the airport. The program was established as a result of a SWACO study conducted with Cambridge, Mass.-based Camp Dresser & McKee, and eventually will expand to include airport facilities and tenants outside of the terminal building, Roberts says. Funding is being provided by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' division of recycling and litter prevention.

Warmer weather is here and the start of summer is right around the corner. In other words, it’s mosquito season. That means it’s time to remember the 5 Ds to protect yourself from mosquitoes and reduce the risk of the diseases they can spread. DUMP OR DRAIN any standing water to deny mosquitoes a place to lay their eggs. DAWN AND DUSK are times to avoid being outside because this is when mosquitoes that can transmit West Nile virus are most active. DEFEND yourself against disease-carrying mosquitoes by using insect repellents that are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) such as DEET, Picaridin or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. When using insect repellent, always follow the instructions on the label. In this District video, watch how to properly apply CDC-recommended insect repellents.

, a sonorant is a sound that can be made continuous ly without friction . All vowel s are sonorants, and so are some consonant s that block the mouth but allow the air stream to escape unimpeded. Nasal consonants block the mouth at some point (m is closed at the lips, n by the tongue against the teeth or the alveolar ridge behind the teeth); but the velum or soft palate is lowered allowing the air to escape through the nose. Lateral consonants (sounds like l) block the mouth at one side only, but the passage is clear on the other. The opposite of a sonorant is an obstruent. Sometimes the word is restricted to only sonorant consonants.

About Non-Timber Forest Products Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are any product or service other than timber that is produced in forests. They include fruits and nuts, vegetables, fish and game, medicinal plants, resins, essences and a range of barks and fibers such as bamboo, rattans, and a host of other palms and grasses. Over the past two decades, governments, conservation and development agencies and non-government organizations have encouraged the marketing and sale of NTFPs as a way of boosting income for poor people in the tropics and encouraging forest conservation. But different users define NTFPs differently, depending on their interests and objectives. At CIFOR, the emphasis is on understanding how people use forest resources, and on helping to improve the contribution these resources make to the livelihoods of the world’s rural poor. Accordingly, CIFOR uses an inclusive definition of NTFPs — one that even encompasses wood products, such as those used for woodcarving or fuel.

Titan 111 Flyby: Eyes on Titan’s Xanadu Region On May 7, the Cassini spacecraft soared over Saturn’s moon Titan at a distance of about 1,700 miles (about 2,700 kilometers). The visual and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIMS) captured a mosaic of Titan's Xanadu region at a resolution of 6 miles (10 kilometers) per pixel. Xanadu is an Australia-sized bright region with geological features remarkably similar to Earth. The surface of this bright spot is modified by wind, rain and the flow of liquids. At Titan’s frigid temperatures, the liquid is likely methane or ethane. VIMS also obtained high-resolution images of the impact crater named Menrva at closest approach. The composite infrared spectrometer (CIRS) conducted limb sounding in the far-infrared to provide insight into the formation of Titan's southern winter polar vortex, as well as gathering information about the thermal structure and composition of the stratosphere. Cassini's cameras obtained images of Titan's surface and atmosphere, including eastern Shangri-La and western Xanadu.
