When I saw that the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week was A River Runs Through It, I immediately thought of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. This river meanders its way through colorful rock formations And pounds down in the Upper Falls Past pine forests And into the Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone Artist Thomas Moran captured the river’s spirit in this painting, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. He and others on the Hayden Expedition of 1871 traveled to the greater Yellowstone area and documented what they encountered. They were instrumental in the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in March of 1872. Thomas Moran used his artistic skills to capture outstanding features in vibrant paintings of the landscape. He was an influencer in his time. See more of his work at Painter of Yellowstone.

In this groundbreaking study, University of Kansas researchers Betty Hart and Todd Risley entered the homes of 42 families from various socio-economic backgrounds to assess the ways in which daily exchanges between a parent and child shape language and vocabulary development. Their findings were unprecedented, with extraordinary disparities between the sheer number of words spoken as well as the types of messages conveyed. After four years these differences in parent-child interactions produced significant discrepancies in not only children’s knowledge, but also their skills and experiences with children from high-income families being exposed to 30 million more words than children from families on welfare. Follow-up studies showed that these differences in language and interaction experiences have lasting effects on a child’s performance later in life.

Basic Western misconceptions on the Kosovo issue and their corrections 3. Southern Serbia’s province is called Kosovo Wrong. It is Kosovo and Metohia, abbreviated KosMet. Kosovo itself is an abbreviation of Kosovo Polje, what in the Serbian language means Blackbird Field (in German Amselfeld). Metohia is a corrupted Greek name for Metohi, meaning dependency to the monastery, referring to the land bestowed by Serbian kings and other rulers to the monasteries and churches in KosMet like of Pecka Patrijarshija, Dechani, Grachanica, etc. (the 13−14 century). Therefore, Albanians are omitting the term Metohia from the name of the province in order to hide its historically Serbian character.

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of the body. Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases resolve with non-operative treatments. True Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg. There are many other causes of ‘Sciatica’ which present with similar signs and symptoms. Signs and Symptoms - Pain that radiates from the Lumbar (lower back), into the Buttock and down the back of the legs - The pain can vary widely, from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation or excruciating pain Numbness, tingling or muscle weakness in the affected leg o

When your pet is limping or walking funny, it could be the first sign of a neurological condition. Neurology relates to the study of the nervous system. In the veterinary field, there are veterinary neurologists who study and treat conditions that affect the nervous system – which involves the brain, spinal cord, muscles and nerves. To properly diagnose these conditions, neurologists use different tests, like a spinal tap or an MRI, as seen in the following video. In addition to the years of advanced training and experience they have, veterinary neurologists have access to advanced equipment to help them diagnose and treat their patients. Some neurological conditions require surgery. At BluePearl, this treatment may be performed by a veterinary neurologist or by a board-certified veterinary surgeon.

About Hassan Tower The Hassan Tower, also known as “Tour Hassan” in Rabat, Morocco, is a grand reminder of a mosque that was never completed. The Hassan Tower is actually a 140-foot red stone minaret built during the reign of Yacoub El Mansour, a sultan of the Almohad Dynasty who ruled from 1184 AD. Construction of the Hassan Tower began in approximately 1195 AD and was intended to result in the largest mosque on earth. However, only four years of construction had elapsed when the sultan died and, with him, the project. Today several columns surround the Hassan Tower, showing the intended layout of the mosque. Indeed, even the Hassan Tower was not completed. In fact, it was supposed to double in size. Inside the Hassan Tower are six levels, each with a solitary room connected by ramps.

Today, Panthera works in 50 countries around the globe to protect big cats and their vast landscapes. Motion-activated camera traps are used to count cats and their prey species, identify where they live, and determine how conservation efforts are helping to protect these animals. These cameras produce thousands of images of fascinating animals, from the iconic leopard and rhino to the lesser-known aardwolf and civet. While certainly high-tech, these cameras do not distinguish between animal species. That is why we need your help to identify the big cats and other wildlife in these photos. Log onto the Camera CATalogue now and help identify the amazing wildlife in these camera trap images. It’s a fun way to spend a few minutes (or a few hours), test and improve your animal knowledge (who knew what a gemsbok was?!) and support efforts to better protect leopards, other wildlife, and their landscapes.

Imagine if baseball was taught the way we teach science. Learning to play baseball doesn’t prepare you to be a baseball player — it makes you a baseball player. How does mastery happen? For most of human history, learning in middle childhood meant apprenticeship, not school. Children learned to master skills informally inside the family, or outside the family, more formally and later. Most people were foragers or farmers, and foraging and farming children learned by helping out— they still do. Children also learned more specialized skills by becoming apprentices to master tradesmen and artisans. Preschoolers show some of the beginnings of apprenticeship when they imitate the people around them. Anthropologists and cultural psychologists, not to mention parents, see how even very young toddlers are drawn to imitate everything that they see their elders do, from machete handling to pancake making. But while preschoolers are essentially playing at those adult skills, school-age children begin to genuinely master them. It is more work to make pancakes with a two-year-old than to just do it yourself, but by eight or nine, children can honestly contribute to a family’s economy. Apprenticeship is a kind of work as much as it is a kind of play.

With today’s honoring of Martin Luther King, Jr. come new skirmishes in the turf war over his legacy. Tradition holds that radicals on the Left own it. Because the civil rights leader was most radical near the end of his life, that King allegedly proved to be the truest. The King of the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign is deemed to be better than the younger, greener, and more obviously Christian King of the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. He engaged in acts of civil disobedience, including boycotts, demonstrations, sit-ins. He went to jail to demonstrate the violence at the heart of the white supremacist state. He also vocally opposed the Vietnam War. King sought to relieve the racially and economically dispossessed by way of government programs that would redistribute wealth from the richest Americans.

Types of Geothermal Features Geysers: The pressure reaches a certain point at which water and steam must release, often spraying into the sky at unimaginable heights. Popular park geysers: Hot Springs: Heated water creates complex circulation within pools, creating the most colorful features in the park. Popular Hot Springs: Fumeroles/Steam Vents: When a hot spring has more heat than water, the water evaporates before reaching the surface, creating a steam vent or fumerole. Fumeroles in Yellowstone: - Black Growler: This consistent steam vent averages temps of 199 to 280 degrees F. Terraces: A landscape that resembles a cave turned inside out. Terraces in Yellowstone: Yellowstone National Park geothermal features are popular the world over for their colorful mud pots, their spouting geysers and fascinating hot springs. Most Yellowstone Park geothermal features are located in the Geyser Basins such as: Stay on the boardwalks when visiting the geothermal features. If you break through the thin crust, you risk injury and can disturb the fine ecological balance in the park.

When having to deal with soil or groundwater contamination, there is no shortage of remedial options. One of the first decisions is whether or not to go with an ex situ or in situ approach. Ex situ techniques include excavation, dual and multi-phase extraction, and thermal desorption. In situ techniques include chemical oxidation, bioremediation, and adsorption. While ex situ approaches can be considered as part of any remediation plan, there are a variety of reasons why an in situ strategy can be a more cost effective option. This eBook covers: Cost comparison of in situ vs ex situ remediation Achieving successful results via in situ remediation Comparative analysis of the environmental sustainability of different remediation approaches

To keep your car running smoothly, efficiently and safely, it is extremely important to follow scheduled maintenance and get regular tune-ups. When your vehicle is properly tuned, you are likely to experience better performance, improved emissions and increased mileage. A tune up is basically a check up of your vehicle by a skilled mechanic. During a tune up, all your vehicle’s important systems are checked and fixed as needed. Things that are commonly checked include spark plugs and wires, idle speed, timing, choke, throttle linkage and distributor cap. The battery is typically checked during a tune up as well since it is a crucial component with a limited life span. During a thorough inspection, your mechanic is also likely to check your brakes, belts, exhaust system, transmission and tires. Simply checking the fluids and the air pressure in a vehicle’s tires often leads to noticeable improvements in fuel economy. Most new vehicles require very little when it comes to tune ups as long as routine maintenance and oil changes are being performed as recommended. This entry was posted in Tune Up Blog.

To say there is/there are in French, you use the fixed expression il y a (literally "it has there"). Note: Il y a never changes, even if there is more than one object. It consists of three separate words: il + y + a. Never write il ya, even though it's pronounced that way. Want to make sure your French sounds confident?

Early indications are the 7.5 earthquake near Hanmer Springs has not had a significant impact on the Alpine Fault, which runs up the spine of the West Coast and is overdue for a major rupture. Geonet duty seismologist Anna Kaiser said the epicentre was possibly just south of the Hope Fault, but it did look like "something else was going on". The Hope Fault, which caused a magnitude 7 to 7.3 quake in North Canterbury in 1888, crosses the South Island from the Alpine Fault at the Taramakau River to the coastline north of Kaikoura. It is part of the Marlborough fault system. Another duty seismologist John Ristau said this morning he did not know for certain the impact on the Alpine Fault. "However, since this earthquake is some distance from the Alpine Fault, it's likely that it hasn't had any significant effect on it one way or the other." Scientists say when the Alpine Fault ruptures it could cause up to 8m of horizontal movement and 1 to 2m of vertical uplift.

This selection of arrow points is part of a much larger cache of several hundred arrowheads, all of exceptional craftsmanship and made with a variety of materials. They were discovered in a burial in Mound 72 at the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site near East St. Louis, Illinois, almost 50 years ago. The points originated from distant places like Oklahoma, Tennessee, southern Illinois, and Wisconsin. They probably were offered in tribute to a person of great importance who was buried there. They demonstrate relationships developed between the City of Cahokia and trading partners located hundreds of miles away. Excavations show Mound 72 was originally a series of smaller mounds that were later reshaped into a single mound. The site was excavated between 1967 and 1971. Two hundred fifty persons were found buried in Mound 72, including the person described above. Many of the people found in Mound 72 may have been sacrificed and buried alongside one or more important people. Mound 72 was first mapped in 1882, where it appeared as a structure about 10 feet high. The current mound is a reconstruction. It is about 140 feet long and 72 feet wide. Visit the Cahokia Mounds website here.

Blue photo of Nixon Agnew with blue text on red and white striped background. Richard Nixon, after being chosen to lead the Republican ticket for President, announced Spiro Agnew as his running mate in 1968. Nixon sought someone to counter his energy and the relatively unknown Governor of Maryland was perfect for the role. The lack of name recognition was seen as an asset by Nixon, who wanted a bland, but mysterious, running mate. Both men would not go on to finish their terms after being elected. Nixon famously resigned after the Watergate scandal in 1973. Months prior, Agnew himself had resigned after pleading no contest to charges of tax evasion and bribery. Mitchell, R.

In order to cover a larger part of the agriculture land for cultivation and to encompass the drought hit areas under agricultural activity, Congress government had rolled out a comprehensive plan of constructing major and minor irrigation projects across the state. Several irrigation projects like Pranahitha, Polavaram, Ettipottula and others came up during the congress regime which supplied water for the lakhs of acre of the land for agriculture. The then Congress government had tried to resolve the disputes over the distribution of Krishna and Godavari waters with neighboring Karnataka and Maharashtra governments to benefit the state projects. The most popular Jalayagnam policy had made it possible for the Congress government to expedite several irrigation projects in the state for the benefit of people especially farmers. The projects expedited during the Congress rule still benefiting the state in terms of irrigation and agriculture. By the time most of the projects were yet to be completed, its tenure ended and now TRS attributing the establishment of irrigation projects to itself. All of the irrigation projects claimed by TRS government as its own were actually either started or halfway completed during the Congress government in the past.

Lumbar Disc Herniation A lumbar herniated disc is when the inner core of a disc in the back herniates, or leaks out of the disc, and presses on an adjacent nerve root. A lumbar herniated disc may occur due to trauma or be spontaneous. Something as simple as a sneeze can herniate a disc. Because there is limited space in the spinal canal, even a small lumbar disc herniation may impinge on one of the nerves and cause significant pain. While back pain may be present, the most common pain is in the buttock, with radiation to the feet of the affected side. This will follow the normal distribution of the nerve affected. Numbness and tingling may also be reported. This is called lumbar radiculopathy. Most herniated discs tend to shrink back into the disc space or dissolve over time. Conservative care is recommended first unless the patient has signs of paralysis. Once a disc has been herniated, disc degeneration is expected due to the loss of the integrity of the disc.

In the past, when a person was arrested, they were often released “on bail” while awaiting trial or other required appearances before the court. This allowed the defendant to retain their freedom until they were acquitted, a jury declared them guilty of a crime, or they entered into a plea bargain agreement with the State. Bail usually took the form of money paid to the court or property (such as land) pledged to secure the defendant’s appearance at later proceedings. If the defendant did not appear, the bail money (or property) was forfeited; additionally, the defendant could be charged with the separate crime of failure to appear in court. Although this basic system was followed in New Jersey for many years, the state legislature passed bail reform legislation in 2014 that significantly changed the existing bail system.

Ferricyanide of potassium gives a blue precipitate or green coloration; with ferric salts a brown colour only is produced. The ferricyanide-bromide mixture, however, keeps very much better than a plain solution of ferricyanide alone.

In today’s digital ecosystem, threats must be secured at all endpoints, before they have the chance to execute and wreak havoc on your network. However, human intervention is mandatory in managing vulnerabilities. Perimeter defense was once a valid method of security, but modern technology—and modern means mobile technology—has created a whole new landscape of exposure. Legacy antivirus software was once substantial enough to defend against malware, but it’s the way that malware gets in that’s of utmost concern. The manner of deception extends all the way back to the first humans: building trust in an effort to deceive. The threat of systems falling prey to a phishing attack is increasing, likely due to lack of security awareness on behalf of users at endpoints. Many users also have outdated security software, making them vulnerable to malware infection, but either way—security software can only be as effective as the user is aware of how to protect endpoints. A recent study on human behavior confirms that users are prone to phishing emails because they become convinced of the email’s trustworthiness and download attachments and links designed to infect them with malware. To protect your endpoints, security software is crucial, but intelligence is just as important.

This article discusses the archaeological evidence for the existence of a Rama temple on the site of the now destroyed Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. The existence of this Rama temple has been taken for granted since the 18th century and has become the basis of a mass campaign directed against the Muslim minorities by the Hindu nationalist party BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and related radical organizations, such as the VHP (Vishva Hindu Parishad). Since 1989, when secularist historians and archaeologists began questioning the validity of the proofs, discussion of this matter has become one of the central points in the dispute over the „ownership“ of the site the mosque once occupied. It became evident that the archaeological finds were in no way convincing, so that the BJP/VHP archaeologists were forced to come up with a series of „new discoveries“. In 1992 the public became more and more convinced that the problem would never be solved on this basis. Titus the BJP and the radical organizations felt forced into action by their failure, resulting ultimately in the destruction of the Babri Masjid.

More than one million of them live on reservations. These areas were first set aside for Native Americans during the nineteenth century when President Andrew Jackson passed the Indian Removal Act. Because he wanted their land, Jackson and his army forced thousands of Native Americans to travel the infamous Trail of Tears. Many didn t survive this horrific journey. Those who did made new lives for themselves on the reservations. Today the reservations are home to a wide range of Native American cultures as well as some serious problems. Join us as we explore what life is like on the reservations today.

Riparia’s strengths lie in the pursuit of three, fully integrated dimensions of research, outreach, and education that can best be described as shown in the figure below. - Core – Long-term commitment to building on previous studies to extend our knowledge about the ecology of natural and built environments. Funding is most often provided through competitive grants and contracts. - Discovery – Pursuing lines of inquiry that may prove useful for informing management through science. An amalgam of sources, including unfunded initiatives is usually required to complete discovery projects. - Applications – Developing and implementing tools, courses, and programs to educate and train students and managers or all kinds to apply science to inform policy decisions and management practices to further the conservation of wetlands and aquatic resources To remain successful and competitive, Riparia must be opportunistic in securing funds to conduct its collective work, but we seek to focus about one third of our efforts in each dimension.

Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: Guinea Ecuatorial), officially the Republic of Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: República de Guinea Ecuatorial, French: République de Guinée équatoriale, Portuguese: República da Guiné Equatorial), is a country located in Middle Africa. With an area of 28,000 square kilometres (11,000 sq mi) Equatorial Guinea is one of the smallest countries in continental Africa. It has two parts, an insular and a mainland region. The insular region consists of the islands of Bioko (formerly Fernando Pó) in the Gulf of Guinea and Annobón, a small volcanic island south of the equator. Bioko island is the northernmost part of Equatorial Guinea and is the site of the country's capital, Malabo. The island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe is located between Bioko and Annobón. The mainland region, Río Muni, is bordered by Cameroon on the north and Gabon on the south and east. It also includes several small offshore islands (such as Corisco, Elobey Grande, and Elobey Chico). Trade and taxes Development - United Nations

However, the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with microchips which have been recently developed and improved at a significant rate, has provided considerable help for several couples to have a baby. The use of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with micro chips method, developed by a Turkish scientist at Harvard University, is becoming increasingly widespread worldwide. A significant increase in pregnancy rates was observed with sperm selection by micro chips. In IVF treatment, it is possible with the micro chips method to determine the sperms, which don't have distorted DNA structure and using those sperms with micro injection. In this way, higher quality embryos can be developed and successful results can be obtained at high rates. This method has not been available in all IVF centers since it has recently become widespread. It is used in clinics that follow innovations in IVF.

- Barbara Reynolds (b Venice, Dec 13, 1720; d Venice, April 14, 1806). Italian playwright . Born of a noble family of declining fortune, he was the leading member of the Accademia dei Granelleschi, a learned society devoted to stemming innovation and foreign importations in linguistic usage. He also set himself up against the changes that Goldoni was introducing into Venetian comedy. Goldoni broke with the age-old Venetian tradition of the commedia dell’arte. In his plays stock characters disappeared, masks were no longer worn, and a bourgeois naturalism replaced stereotyped conventions. Though immensely successful, the plays attracted criticism and envy. One of his rivals was Pietro Chiari, a prolific novelist and playwright, who introduced sentimental and extravagant inanities into his comedies. Gozzi despised them both and, in answer to Goldoni’s claim that he drew large audiences, declared that he could do the same with any nonsensical tale ‘such as grandmothers tell little children’. To prove his point Gozzi sketched a scenario for the first of his ...

If a volcano were erupting in my backyard, spewing lava and ash, I might be tempted to move away. This is precisely what the ancient Puebloan peoples did when Sunset Volcano erupted in the 11th century. It has done so several times since then in a span of 50 years. The monument is a grim reminder that an eruption is likely again. Sunset is no longer active. What remains is an almost perfect cinder cone, a thousand feet high, surrounded by enormous lava fields, which comprise the national monument. Sunset is only one of many volcanoes in proximity north of Flagstaff that is known as the San Francisco volcanic field. There is no longer a trail to the volcano rim, but one does wind through the lava field (called the Lava Flow Trail). Vegetation struggles to grow back, including stands of Ponderosa pines, a few of which have grotesquely twisted trunks from severe lack of water and high winds. Walking through any lava field is like a stroll through an alien landscape. Fortunately, the trail is developed and well-maintained.

Stepping Stones Lighthouse Preservation Project Stepping Stones Lighthouse was built in 1876 to warn mariners of a shoal and extensive rocks that extend into Long Island Sound northward from Kings Point. Built in the Victorian Second Empire style, it was modernized in 1944, and remains a vital aid to navigation to this day. The lighthouse itself is in poor condition, and needs to be repaired. If it decays any further, there is a strong probability that it will be demolished, and a navigational beacon erected in its place. Please help us restore this piece of our history! It has been estimated that the needed repairs will cost in the range of $4 million. The mission of the Stepping Stones Lighthouse partnership is to restore, preserve and protect the Stepping Stones Lighthouse structure. Its preservation will provide a magnet for educational programs and tours, a focal point for historical research, an icon for promoting safe boating, and a location for monitoring the environmental health of Long Island Sound.

The ACT is a “teachable test.” It is very predictable. It has clearly identified traps on each section that are designed to lead the test taker astray. It needs a broad distribution of scores to meet its goal of being a predictive instrument for college success. It is a challenging and difficult test for many students. Students who prepare for the ACT improve their scores. Students are tripped up by the wording of the test questions, a lack of background in a particular subject are, and, most of all, by confusion about the timing. Students consistently complain about “running out of time.” We ask students to establish a goal score and show them how to achieve it. We 1) review subject background in key areas, including English and Math; 2) teach specific test-taking strategies for each of the four test – English, Math, Reading, and Science; and 3) show students how to pace themselves when taking the test. Our students have improved their scores from 1-10 points. Typically gains run between 2-4 points

FRIDAY, March 1, 2019 (HealthDay News) — Heavy smoking is associated with damaged vision, according to a study published in the January issue of Psychiatry Research. Thiago P. Fernandes, Ph.D., from the Neuroscience and Behavior Laboratory in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, and colleagues assessed the impact of chronic smoking on spatial and color vision among 71 healthy controls and 63 individuals with tobacco addiction (smoked >20 cigarettes a day; mean age, 34.7 years) who were matched for age, gender, and level of education. Contrast sensitivity for linear sine-wave gratings and color discrimination (using the Ellipse and Trivector subtests) were used to assess visual processing. The researchers found that heavy smokers had reduced sensitivity for all spatial frequencies and impairments in color discrimination for both Trivector and Ellipse. “These results indicate that excessive use of cigarettes, or chronic exposure to their compounds, affects visual discrimination, supporting the existence of overall deficits in visual processing in tobacco addiction,” the authors write.

HOUSE AND ESTATE The Wilderness dates from the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries and was originally set out geometrically with trees in straight rows, a practice which was later dropped. It survived the English Landscape improvements. Informal paths were made through the Wilderness in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is actually divided in two by the South Lime Avenue. The East Wilderness area in particular has been cleared out and tidied. Informal paths have been introduced which exploit the view into the park and across the lawn. Natural regeneration is managed, and wild flora and fauna actively encouraged. The yews at the top entrance to the Wilderness have been cut back and the ash trees taken out in order to recreate the view as it was in the Victorian period. Inside the Wilderness

Tag Archive for Estonia - Estonia’s annual average surface water availability is 12 billion m3 and the groundwater potential is 3.2 billion m3. - The rivers are characterized by short flow distances and low flow rates. Only 10 rivers are longer than 100 km. The longest is the Võhandu (162 km) and the largest is the Narva, with a catchment area of 56,200 km2, only about one-third of which is within Estonia. - Of Estonia’s approximately 1,200 lakes, half have a surface area of less than 0.03 km2. The largest, Lake Peipsi, covering some 3,500 km2, is the fourth largest lake in Europe. It was the subject of in-depth case studies in the first and second editions of the World Water Development Report. Read more

Photo: Robert Kibet/IPS This is a fascinating article about reversing desertification in Kenya. “[The] initiative to help the Samburu community plant the 18 species of indigenous fruit trees which are drought-resistant and rich in nutrients is also part of a major conservation effort in that the combination of ‘small-scale food security and conservation of indigenous trees. will also create a linkage between people and trees and they will protect them.'” The world’s poor are suffering worst from the effects of climate change, such as in Africa and Pacific island nations. It seems this initiative is giving tools to people for furthering sustainability efforts that surpass where supposed “first world” nations are at. Naomi Klein writes in her 2015 book This Changes Everything: Capitalism Versus the Climate, that countries which are being asked to preserve their natural resources, like rain forests that benefit the entire globe, deserve and are asking for remuneration from historically heavy carbon emitters like the UK and USA. Because rich countries are responsible for most of the carbon in the atmosphere causing climate change, I don’t see why we shouldn’t pay countries to preserve rain forests and other carbon sequestering natural resources.

These discussions are essential for new users and are useful refreshers. SET GROUND RULESExplain that manipulatives are tools, not toys. We use them to help us learn new things and solve problems. ALLOW TIME FOR EXPLORATION Encourage students to explore the materials and make their own discoveries. When students can satisfy their curiosity, they are less likely to become distracted from assigned tasks. STAY ORGANIZEDPost a chart in your classroom listing the names of the manipulative materials. Teach children how to use them and put them back. LET PARENTS KNOWSend home a letter that lets parents who may be unfamiliar with manipulatives know why their children are using them. Include manipulative math activities for home.

By Jayson Knapp Assignment instructions translate Longfellow’s poem as a story. On April 4th 1775, Paul Revere rode to warn people that the British were coming. He did this by telling a friend, “If the British march by land or sea from the town tonight hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch of the North Church tower as a signal light. One if by land, and two if by sea, and I on the opposite shore will be ready to ride and spread the alarm through every Middle sex village and farm for the country-folk to be and to arm.” Now in 2018 we still hear and teach of it and its poem. It is an important time in history the revolutionary war.

Pere David’s Deer The Père David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus), also known as the milu or elaphure, is a species of deer that went extinct in the wild, but has been reintroduced in some areas. The Pere David is native to the river valleys of China, where it prefers wetland habitats. It grazes mainly on grass and aquatic plants. It is the only extant member of the genus Elaphurus. The Pere David, which went extinct in China has been thriving in Texas for years. The species has been reintroduced all over the world thanks to breeding within zoos and private ranches. There are now estimated to be more than 50 herds in China as well.

Yesterday i took a little trip to pier45,here in SF. The following pictures are dedicated to the brave men of the United States Navy submarine force in World War II. The heroic efforts of American submarines during the Pacific war is frequently overlooked and sadly understated. Military historians fully agree that the submarine campaign,ultimately helped to bring about a much swifter, and victorious conclusion to the war with Japan. World War II submarines typically carried a crew of 70 men and 10 officers. The submarine service was a small, well trained, elite group. They represented less than two percent of all U.S. Navy personnel, and yet they were responsible for fifty-five percent of all Japanese tonnage sunk, including one third of their warships. This was not without cost, for the submarine force recorded the highest percentage of men lost in the U.S. military, 24%: more than 3500 men in 52 submarines did not return. They are said to be on eternal patrol. To this day all submariners are volunteers.USS Pampanito and her crew were successful during her 6 war patrols in the Pacific.

Creating indents in a word processor is a trivial task that you hardly even need to think about. In HTML-based formats indents are not quite so straightforward. HTML does not support either tab stops or multiple spaces, so you cannot use them to create indented paragraphs or to format tabular data. (Tabs and multiple spaces wouldn't work in HTML because the page width is dynamic.) You can use indented paragraphs – Help+Manual will convert them to stable HTML structures when you publish to HTML-based formats. However, you should avoid using tab stops and spaces on their own to create indented effects, because these will not work in HTML-based outputs. You should always use the paragraph indenting functions described below. For some more background information see Tabs, indents and HTML in the Reference section. You cannot use the indent tools on single-level bulleted and numbered lists. To change the indent in a list you must first switch off the list with the list tool. In outline numbered lists the indent tools change the list level.

Famous Men of the Middle Ages audiobook by John H. Haaren (1855-1916) and A. B. Poland “THE study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume their right proportions. The famous men of ancient and modern times are the mountain peaks of history. It is logical then that the study of history should begin with the biographies of these men. Not only is it logical; it is also pedagogical. Experience has proven that in order to attract and hold the child’s attention each conspicuous feature of history presented to him should have an individual for its center. The child identifies himself with the personage presented. It is not Romulus or Herecules or Alexander that the child has in mind when be reads, but himself, acting under similar conditions.” (Excerpt from the Preface of “Famous Men of the Middle Ages”)

Introduction: Individuals, Societies, and Pragmatic Environmentalism The pragmatic value of many environmental books is limited by the problem of individualism. One explanation for why books with an environmental focus tend to concentrate on problems, and superficially on what ought to be done to change things, is the nature of how expertise has historically been attached to the subject. They are called environmental problems, after all. Sociology has a long history of sidestepping environmental variables, phenomena historically understood as under the purview of the natural sciences. It is important to remember that early social thought was developed, at least in part, as a reaction to social Darwinism, which sought to explain much of social life by way of biology. The problem with environmental issues, however, is that they make a terrible mess of this historically rooted division of labor between the "social" and the "natural" sciences. The chapter also presents some concepts discussed in this book. The book focuses on issues related to certain environmental phenomena.

Journal of Vision 2010;10(14):3. doi: https://doi.org/10.1167/10.14.3. Download citation file: © ARVO (1962-2015); The Authors (2016-present) Implicit short-term memory plays an important role in visual search. For instance, singleton search is faster when the target and distractor features repeat on two consecutive trials than when they switch, an effect called Priming of Popout (PoP). However, whether or not PoP facilitates early perceptual/attentional processes remains controversial. To resolve discrepancies between existing findings, we tested the hypothesis that early effects of PoP occur only if attention is focused/engaged on the target. We measured search accuracy using brief displays for a fine discrimination task, which required focused attention, and for a left/right hemifield localization task, which did not. We found that PoP effects on accuracy occur only in the discrimination task. The theoretical implications are discussed. This PDF is available to Subscribers Only

As you transition from preparation to action, you move from one skill set to another. In action, you use the doing skill set; you focus attention on acting out your plan. If you drag thinking into doing, you mix skill sets and attention will be diffused between the two, limiting the effectiveness of either process. Remember, climbing includes stopping and moving. Thinking occurs when you stop, at mini and micro decision points. Then you move between them. Remember to stop and think, OR move and do. Students in the Espresso Clinic learn the mantra, “When you rest, rest; when you climb, climb.” This helps them separate the skill sets of thinking and doing. For making decisions we discussed how to break free of thinking. Heighten your state of arousal by doing a few deliberate exhales. Breathing shifts attention out of your head and into your body, and helps you break free.

Although learning Spanish can be time taking as its grammar is different from Spanish, there are innovative ways to do so. So far as learning Christmas greetings is concerned, there are some simple, fun ways. You can try learning Feliz Navidad, a fun holiday melody masterpiece that is sung partly in English and partly in Spanish. You can design Christmas cards using Spanish word messages with the help of an online dictionary. You can also express holiday sentiments to a friend by creating a Spanish poem. Lastly, you should be well-acquainted with the Spanish culture and ethos. You can also express holiday sentiments to your friends by writing a poem in Spanish. Using both English and Spanish in a poem is acceptable if the recipient understands both languages. Lastly, it is also important to know about the Spanish culture and ethos as a part of your Christmas fun activities in your quest to learn the language.

Despite a push to increase interest in STEM careers, many high school students aren’t getting the classes they need to be successful in a STEM major. A recent article from The Hechinger Report examined the disconnect, noting that just 39 percent of high school grads in 2013 took a single physics class. “The problem is the product of a vicious cycle,” wrote reporter Tara Garcia Mathewson. “With relatively few high schoolers taking physics, few go on to major in physics in college, which limits the supply of physics teachers, which, in turn, limits the number of students who can take a physics course in high school.” But experts say a familiarity with physics is crucial to success in many college majors related to science, technology, engineering, or math. “Taking the course in high school is strongly correlated with getting a degree in a STEM field,” Mathewson wrote. Admitted writer/editor Mary Stegmeir welcomes additional comments and story ideas at email@example.com.

The Burning Plasma Science: Foundations subprogram advances the understanding of man-made plasmas that reach conditions near those present inside the sun and stars. Magnetic fields are used to confine these extremely hot plasmas and keep them away from all material surfaces. Among the activities supported by this subprogram are: Research at two major experiments (DIII-D and NSTX-U) each capable of generating plasmas with temperatures in excess of 10 million degrees. Theoretical work to explain the fundamental behavior of these exceedingly hot plasmas. Much of this work requires the use of the world’s most powerful supercomputers.

The prostate is a male reproductive gland that produces a fluid found in semen. Located below the bladder and in front of the rectum, the prostate surrounds the urethra — the tube that empties urine from the bladder. Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland and may spread to surrounding structures. While most men with prostate cancer have no symptoms, physician can find prostate cancer during a regular checkup, using a combination of a blood test called a PSA and a digital rectal exam (DRE). Nearly one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. With greater awareness, prostate cancer detection is on the rise and mortality is declining. Moreover, better treatments are allowing more men to return to active and productive lives after treatment. If the you have an early diagnosis of prostate cancer, there is usually a range of treatment options. These may include conservative management, radiation therapy with either external bream or brachytherapy therapy, cryosurgery and prostatectomy – surgical removal of the prostate. Your treatment options will depend on a number of factors, including the stage of the disease, your age and health or personal preference. Call 888.229.4206 to schedule your consultation.

A method for Critical Thinking ² There is no one best critical thinking textbook for all types of criticism and all types of contexts, so you need to find the one that will work best for your pedagogical situation. A textbook dictates course/module structure more in critical thinking than in other areas of philosophy because the exercises are closely tied to the content. - Sort out your pedagogical goals. Figure out what you would like students to be able to do at the end of the course — a tough decision in itself, but my suggestions may help narrow it down. - Choose the type of analysis (criticism) you wish the students to learn, for which I developed a fieldguide. - Choose the types of exercises. Keeping down student costs is a further consideration, and some textbooks are available free on-line, while some printed books with moderate cost extend on-line to rich supplementary material, exercises and instructor tools.

Deafblind adults want to navigate their environment, participate in the community, make autonomous decisions and live independently, with greater quality of life, safety, and community access. There is a gap in existing services to the estimated 2,500 deafblind adult Texans who face barriers in addressing basic needs such as shopping, errands, reading mail and safely traveling to and attending public events, including voting, business, and health services. Professional Support Service Providers (SSPs) fill the gaps that sign language interpreters and interveners do not cover. Deafblind people have a wide range of individualized needs, depending on the impact on hearing and vision, onset of deafblindness and communication modes used. Deafblind children receive services while in school, and those with an additional disability can receive lifelong intervener services through a Medicaid waiver program. Language-proficient autonomous deafblind adults living in their own homes are not eligible for these services. Interpreters provide language access for certain scheduled events, but that alone does not create true access due to mobility and information-gathering barriers. SSPs cover a range of situations that sign language interpreters do not. A chart can be downloaded below!

|Hawker was the first ace of the British Commonwealth. An aggressive combat pilot, his motto was “Attack Everything!” Flying a B.E.2c armed with a few bombs and hand grenades, he successfully attacked the Zeppelin shed at Gontrode in April 1915 and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. An engineer, he devised a mount for attaching a Lewis gun to the Bristol Scout. While testing his invention, he chased off one German aircraft and drove down two others. For this action, he was the first pilot to receive the Victoria Cross for aerial combat. Hawker was killed in one of the longest dogfights of the war. Flying the Airco D.H.2, he engaged an Albatros D.II behind German lines and was shot down by Manfred von Richthofen. Hawker was the Red Baron’s eleventh victim.

kidzsearch.com > wiki Explore:images videos games In volcanology, magma is melted rock that is under the ground. It is like lava, which is melted rock above the ground. There are many types of magma. One is called felsic magma. Felsic magma is thick and has lots of a mineral called silica. It mostly makes light-coloured rocks. Another type is called mafic magma, which is runny and has less silica. It usually makes dark-coloured rocks. A third type is intermediate magma. It is like both the other types. When magma becomes solid it's usually by cooling slowly, far below the surface. This makes "plutonic" rocks such as granite. Sometimes magma comes out from a volcano as lava, cools more quickly, and forms other kinds of rock.

This article is an accessible introduction to ratchets and their potential uses. A ratchet can dramatically improve directional transport of classical or quantum particles in systems that are dominated by random diffusion. The key idea is that ratchets do not overcome poor conductivity with strong gradients, but rather use non-directional sources of energy like heat or chemical energy to power unidirectional transport, making the ratchet a Maxwell's demon. We introduce the ratchet concept and its inspiration from biology, discuss the terminology used in the field, and examine current progress and ideas in ratcheting electrons and classical particles.

Vitamins are critical compounds which are essential for normal metabolism function. They are naturally found in many foods but are also often added to processed food products. Additionally, vitamin supplements are a growing trend among people whose diet is restricted. Vitamins are separated into two groups; water soluble and fat soluble. The most common water-soluble vitamin supplements are Thiamine (B1), Pyridoxine (B6), Cyanocobalamin (B12), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3) Nicotinamide, Ascorbic Glucoside, Vitamin C and Erythorbic Acid. Routine analysis of water-soluble vitamins can be challenging due to the unstable nature of the target analytes. Many factors can affect vitamin stability such as exposure to heat, light, air as well as interactions with other food components. By using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with Diode Array Detector (DAD) a qualitative method for the detection of water-soluble vitamins was easily developed. For quantitative analysis, separate HPLC methods are recommended due to Vitamin C and Erythorbic Acid instability in which decomposition regularly occurs during sample preparation.

Reading and writing At Blackthorns we believe that being able to read and write are the vital skills that enable us to understand and express ourselves more effectively. These skills open the door to learning. We passionately believe in helping children to develop not only the technical skills of reading and writing, but also in engendering a love for literature and the different genres of writing. Our teaching and support staff have been trained in the phonics programme ‘Sounds-Write’, used around the world and graded as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. Children take part in individual and guided reading sessions, led by an adult. Texts are also shared with the whole class, children are read to by the teacher regularly, and they are encouraged to read at home daily. Our classrooms are full of visual stimulus to help children begin to read and write. Children learn the link between sounds and symbols at a very early stage and begin to write the sounds covered immediately.

Category: Arts & Humanities, Asia, Calcutta About the Collection The Hensley Collection is comprised of photographs taken during World War II by an American serviceman, Glenn S. Hensley. The photographs, numbering almost 600, were given to the University of Chicago Library by the photographer. The text accompanying the images is derived from notes written by Mr. Hensley. The images include a rich array of photographs taken in Calcutta during 1943-44 by Mr. Hensley, a professional photographer participating in the surveillance of the Japanese in Burma for the U.S. Army. During his off-duty time Mr. Hensley used his ethnographer's eye to capture daily life in a number of locations around India. The majority of the images are from Calcutta and its environs.

Another great use for ammonia, in this case its not burned so leaks and smell are an issue, though as the post points out quantities are tiny compared with ammonia in fertilizer. Prior to 1850, a brilliant Australian Engineer, James Harrison invented the vapour compression refrigeration system by “closing the loop”. He was aware that when ether evaporated it made printing type set cold when used for cleaning. His invention collected the evaporated gas, compressed it, condensed it and fed it back as a liquid to be re-evaporated, thereby forming a closed loop. Refrigeration was born. By 1855, Harrison was manufacturing ice machines operating on ether in the closed refrigeration circuit, while the rest of the world were still cutting ice blocks from frozen rivers and lakes. In 1856, Harrison was awarded patent No. 747 for his invention. In the 1860’s, ammonia started to be used in refrigeration as it was seen as a much safer alternative than ether. Ammonia quickly gained popularity and by 1900 it dominated the world of refrigeration as the refrigerant of choice. The ammonia domination… View original post 285 more words

May 13, 2020 Last year saw record-breaking ice melt events in Greenland, with the largest island on Earth yielding a net ice loss of over 300gt, according to the National Snow & Ice Data Center. To put this into perspective, a gigatonne is 1,000,000,000 metric tons, and a metric ton is equal to 1.10231 US tons. 300gt is roughly 330.7 billion US tons. Here, try out the conversion for yourself. We’ll wait. However, last year was only the seventh-worst year for ice melt in Greenland. Data from the NSIDC shows 2012 had the highest ice melt, but melt had significantly decreased by 2013 – that isn’t to say conditions weren’t a cause for concern, but they had “chilled out” in comparison to 2012. So, is there a chance 2020 might spare a little mercy towards Greenland? Well…

Between art and craft The arid Guajira Peninsula is an exotic location located in northern Colombia where the desert meets the Caribbean Ocean. In this land lives the Wayuu tribe of nomads known as the people of the sun, sand and wind. Wayuu are one of the last leaving matrilineal societies where women play the highest role within society and are considered as family and cultural leaders. Due to lack of food and nutrition access for climate variability which threatens their livelihoods and traditional ways of life, women’s handcraft became the main source of income for these tribes. Wayuu women learn how to make bags, called “Susu” in the wayunaiki language, at a young age: they specialize in one of the most complex crochet and textile techniques on our planet. For the Wayuu women, weaving - in both a literal and a metaphorical sense - is the thread that joins families and clans. Mochila bags are intimately linked to Wayuu life and philosophy. They represent a circular cosmology where there is no before and after, but only threads of life spun from one cycle and woven into the next.

Before movie legends like John Wayne galloped across the silver screen, real live cowboys and Indians entertained audiences in dramatic performances that traveled the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. William “Buffalo Bill” Cody (1846-1917) helped generate the growing public interest in the vanishing Wild West by acting out the exploits of his life as a scout and Indian fighter in this uniquely American form of entertainment. At the same time, painters and sculptors such as Frederic Remington (1861-1909), N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945), and Carl Rungius (1869-1959) ventured west in search of artistic inspiration, translating their experiences into romantic portrayals that continue to influence contemporary understandings of life on the open range. Playing Cowboy investigates the formative ways in which turn-of-the-century performing and visual arts mythologized cowboys and villainized Indians. Popular forms of mass media and entertainment, including dime novels, live stage performances, traveling exhibitions, illustrations, paintings, and sculpture all perpetuated the myth of the cowboy and stereotyped Native Americans, based on racialized perceptions of the time.

A recent survey found older boomers are drinking more than they should be. According to The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 22 percent of boomer men reported drinking five or more drinks at a time in the last month. A slightly smaller percentage of boomer men engaged in “at-risk” drinking, defined as drinking two or more drinks per day, at 19 percent. While only 9 percent of women between 50 and 64 engaged in binge drinking, 13 percent were considered “at-risk” drinkers. Women who abused prescription drugs also showed a tendency to binge. Overall, binging was more prevalent among smokers and the wealthy. Dan Blazer, M.D., Ph.D. and lead author on the study, pointed out that boomers are bringing on a potentially greater hazard as they carry drinking problems into old age. Boomers who continue to drink too much could be compounding other health problems associated with aging, as well as developing illnesses more directly associated with abusing alcohol, like stroke, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, neurological damage and poor diabetes control.

Witches are humans who possess supernatural powers (witchcraft). Witches are evidently very long-lived and seem to reside primarily on Earth. To keep their existence secret, witches avoid revealing their powers to ordinary humans, similar to fairies. In 1665, before Dimmsdale was named, Timmy Turner, who had travelled back in time, discovered that Alden Bitterroot was a warlock. Alden was planning to trick the townspeople into naming the town after him. Powers and Abilities - Witchcraft: Witches possess supernatural powers to an unknown extent. Alden Bitterroot was able to project his magical abilities through his hands, without the use of a wand or spellbook. Somehow, he was able to block fairy magic. Alden could levitate, project green energy bolts and fly on his broom (like many traditional witches). - Supernatural Longevity: Witches seem to be extremely long-lived; Alden was able to survive for hundreds of years after falling into a well, possibly through the use of his magical abilities.

One of natures natural illusions known as the underwater waterfall can be found on the island of Mauritius located off the coast of Africa. The island was first discovered by the Arabs in 975 AD, then by the Portuguese between 1507 and 1513. It’s one of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean, if not the entire world. It’s also home to some of the rarest plant and animal specimens in the world. What’s even more incredible is what’s located underneath the water. When viewed from high above, you can actually see what appears to be a waterfall. Honestly, if you didn’t know better, you would actually think it’s real. I know I did. As science explains, sand and silt sink farther and father into the ocean giving off the waterfall illusion. I really want to go here now! Can someone take me? Make sure to share this on Facebook, and don’t forget to drop us a comment below. *Photo credits: unknown unless noted

Stewardesses” is the longest word typed with only the left hand and “lollipop” with your right. Maine is the only state whose name is just one syllable. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. “Dreamt” is the only English word that ends in the letters “mt.” Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. The sentence: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” uses every letter of the alphabet. The words ‘racecar,’ ‘kayak’ and ‘level’ are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). There are only four words in the English language which end in “dous”: tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: “abstemious” and “facetious.”

Activity: Counting Coins Collecting and counting money! Step 1: Collect all the coins in the house! (I am sure your family won't mind when you say you are learning mathematics.) Step 2: Sort them into groups (5c in one group, 10c in another, etc) Step 3: Count how many in each group, then calculate the group value. Example: You count your 5c coins, and find you have 15 of them. 5c × 15 = 75c You can use this form: Step 4: Add up all the group totals so you know how much money you have! Tell everyone what a good job you did ... ... and ask if you can keep the money! Tip: If you make stacks of coins exactly 10 high it is easier to calculate the totals.

This is a unique toad coin purse, it is bizarre and unique. Made in the 1950’s. There is great history to the coin purse. In the 15th century, both men and women wore purses. They were often finely embroidered or ornamented with gold. It was also customary for men to give their new brides purses embroidered with an illustration of a love story. In the 17th century, bags became more complex and elaborate. Girls were taught skills such as embroidery and needlework that could assist them in finding a husband. These skills gave rise to stitched artwork on bags. Around the year 1670, men’s breeches were made with built-in pockets, which caused them to stop carrying purses. They did however carry little netted purses in their pocket to carry money. Than came this 1950 coin purse!!! It was made as a novelty gag item.

When the “sharing economy” emerged ten years ago, its promise of providing income to anyone who’s willing to share his or her resources, captured the imagination of investors and consumers alike. It can be an extra space in one’s car, as popularised by Uber, or a spare room at home, as led by Airbnb. The proponents of the sharing economy believed that many had a surplus of one valuable commodity that could be used by others for some profit. This led nine-to-five job holders and office workers into thinking about the untapped income that they can access if they share a bit of their asset, which in most cases would be their property and time. For the most part, consumers were the biggest winners, as costs to hail a ride for a trip across the city dropped, and less expensive accommodation for a vacation became more widely available.

Lots of discussion related to cable, temperature, circuit diagrams, detection, data, sensor, operation indicator, protection, proximity sensor, timing chart, power, and operation are presented inside this datasheet. The datasheet contains discussion such as load voltage, indicator, standard sensing object, distance, sensing distance, specifications, temperature range, operation mode, standard, carrying parts, and noise resistant models. Inside the datasheet you can learn description around mounting, distances, mounting bracket, reset operation, engineering data, current, voltage, circuit, accessories, noise, and timing. Below are taken from this datasheet: Sensing Object Material The E2K-C can detect almost any type of object. The sensing distance of the E2K-C, however, will vary with the electrical characteristics of the object, such as the conductance and inductance of the object, and the water content and capacity of the object. The maximum sensing distance of the E2K-C will be obtained if the object is made of grounded metal. Additionally, the datasheet presents information such as load current, proximity, leakage, systems, omron, case, limitations, dimensions, sensing, application, and object.

Downloadable teaching resource for HCI / Design thinking (Key Stage 3+) The design team were approached by Google to comprehend the question ‘how do we encourage future generations into Human Computer Interaction’? The team decided that the best path was to created downloadable resources that can aid Key Stage 3 teachers in the United Kingdom. The co-designed resource instigated HCI thinking in schools with flexible learning parameters and outputs. The resource has been trialled nationwide with mixed abilities, a variety of facilitators and extreme age groups. The files are available to download as a ZIP (16MB) [ get Winzip unzipper free ]. The output engaged schools up and down the country and is now also a staple teaching resource in many United States colleges including Georgia Tech and Toronto computer sciences department. Google representatives, Design Teachers, Enya Williams (Illustrator), Dr. Graham McAllister (HCI Academic) “Great to see the pupils of mixed ability engaging in such a mixed environment encouraging free thought”. Teacher, secondary school “I like it when the characters make me think, they are a little bit strange… good strange”. Pupil, secondary school

About Egon Schulte Modern algebra has its roots in the mathematics of the ancient world, arising out of the basic problem of solving equations. Following an explosive development in the twentieth century, it is now a vibrant, multi-faceted and wide-ranging branch of mathematics, having ties with almost every field of mathematics and computer science. The interests of the algebra group at Northeastern include algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, representation theory, homological algebra, and quantum groups, with connections to combinatorics, singularities, Lie groups, topology, and physics. Perhaps the fastest growing area of modern mathematics. It has a wealth of real-world applications, especially in computer science, which have greatly contributed to its rapid growth. Discrete geometry studies combinatorial properties of finite or discrete objects. The study of those properties that are preserved through continuous deformations of objects. It can be used to abstract the inherent connectivity of objects while ignoring their detailed form.

A HUSHED silence often marks the wait for something big. But with gravitational waves, the silence has stayed unbroken for almost a century: we haven’t heard a single one since they were first proposed by Einstein in 1916. That’s not for want of trying. LIGO, set up to listen out for gravitational waves, has spent a decade picking up everything from passing jets to storms far out at sea, but not its quarry. Now, it is set to cock a sharper ear to the cosmos. Mind-bogglingly, its detector chamber may soon be even quieter than if it contained nothing at all (see “Einstein’s silence: Listening for space-time ripples“). The recent discovery of telltale marks on the cosmic microwave background was indirect evidence for gravitational waves. Detecting these space-time murmurs directly would be another huge advance, opening up an entirely new channel on the universe. So let’s hope the silence is broken soon. And that what we hear next is big. This article appeared in print under the headline “Pray silence for Einstein’s waves” More on these topics:

Each year, about 40 percent of food supplies in the U.S. are uneaten, wasting at least 160 billion pounds. One source of food waste results from consumers or retailers throwing away wholesome, healthy food because of confusion about the meaning of dates displayed on the label. Community groups often host food drives at various points during the year to fill local pantry shelves. Donors can enhance the value of their gifts by ensuring the food is safe, nutritious and of high quality. Thanksgiving and the holiday season brings families together to share a meal that often centers on roast turkey and all the fixings. But to avoid spreading foodborne illness, appropriate steps for roasting the bird should be taken.

Answered By: Tim Peters Last Updated: Feb 18, 2019 Views: 212 A literature review is an account of what has been published on a specific subject by scholars and researchers. When writing the literature review, your purpose is to convey to your reader the significant works that have been published on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. Literature reviews provide the reader with a handy critical guide to a particular topic. The librarians have created a helpful research page that will give you instructions on how to do a literature review and provide examples of completed reviews. We also have a great literature review tutorial. This interactive module will give you a real understanding of the process and help you create a thorough and effective literature review. Both are linked below.

The Look, Listen & Infer Fun Deck helps students determine the “true” meanings of messages and can improve critical thinking, auditory comprehension, and inferencing. Many times people do not communicate a complete message. They assume their listeners are also interpreting important visual information. This 56-card illustrated Fun Deck teaches students to infer the meaning of a message by listening to a statement or question and also looking at the picture for important visual cues. One side of the card shows a colorful illustration of the scene. The other side presents the scene and asks, “What should you do next?” followed by three possible answer choices. This side also has a small version of the illustration. Includes game ideas, all in a sturdy tin. Cards are 3¼" x 4¼".

The Israelites walked through the Red Sea on dry ground. But what happened to the Egyptians? What did they do when they saw their former slaves walk straight through the sea? They followed them. They charged right into the Red Sea in pursuit of the Israelites. But was their experience at the bottom of the Red Sea the same as the Israelites? Not quite. The book of Exodus is full of miracle after miracle. Between the Ten Plagues of Egypt and what God did during the Israelites wilderness wanderings, it can be easy to become accustomed to the amazing things God did. However, we should never let the miraculous become ordinary; never allow the amazing to become commonplace. God performed these signs and wonders for a reason—to show that He is God. Therefore, let’s not forget or lose sight of the awesomeness of our great God! View the About page for more info on the author. Receive Posts via Email

The operas of Richard Wagner have been mined since their premieres for their psychological content and possible interpretations. One important vein is Jungian psychology, an approach that uses symbols, archetypes, and dreams to explore the human psyche. Each of Wagner’s operas contains numerous hidden symbols both on the stage and in the musical phrases of the orchestra. By deciphering these symbols, one can discover the unconscious motives and thoughts of the characters within his works. With this understanding, deeper psychological content surfaces in his operas.

Fell april 3, 1984 at 6.40 pm CBa chondrite (bencubbinite) Total mass > 100 kg Specimen in collection : 10.6 g slice The meteorite of Gujba represents the first observed fall of a Bencubbinite and only the second listed Bencubbinite (the first being an Australian discovery in 1930, Bencubbin, which gave its name to the group). Bencubbin was considered initially as a mesosiderite meteorite. Gujba should have given its name to this group of meteorites because it was the first observed fall of this type of meteorites according to the rules of nomenclature at that time. It fell into a cornfield near the village of Bogga Dingare (northeast of Nigeria) after a brilliant fireball was seen heading from west to east, followed by a loud bang. Villagers soon discovered the conical meteorite and smashed it with a sledgehammer before grabbing fragments. The actual total mass is unknown but according to testimony, the stone had a volume of about 20 000 cm3 and a mass of approximately 100 kg.

An injunction is a court order instructing a party to do, or refrain from doing, a specified act. Beginning in the 1880s, the injunction was requested by industrial management and granted by sympathetic courts to end strikes and boycotts. Its effectiveness was demonstrated during the Pullman Strike of 1894. The injunction long remained a prime tool used to curb labor union power. In 1932, the Norris-La Guardia Act enumerated labor practices to be rendered exempt from judicial injunction, including the strike. In the wake of this law and other New Deal measures, many state legislatures enacted laws enhancing the powers of unions. Following World War II, Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act (1947), which allowed the courts to resume the use of injunctions under specified circumstances. The Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (1959) further broadened the courts’ authority to issue injunctions.

It looks like we can add Macadamia nuts to the list of niche foods (like vanilla and chocolate) that are experiencing increased demand beyond what can be produced. South Africa is the largest producer of Macadamia nuts, so price news there will affect the entire market. It looks like in anticipation of a short supply Chinese buyers began buying larger quantities of the in-shell nuts, according to an article in South Africa’s Fresh Plaza news site. The will have consequential effects on the shelled nut market and then on to all other products using the nuts, including Macadamia nut butter. This is in contrast to lower prices that were experienced about 10 years ago in Hawaii because 10 years before that, lots of new Macadamia nut production was planted. The total amount of Macadamia nuts produced in Hawaii (47,000 lbs. last year) isn’t enough to directly affect global prices, however. Jansen, Carolize (2017, June 26).

The Idiot is a novel by the 19th-century Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The title is an ironic reference to the central character of the novel, Prince (Knyaz) Lev Nikolaevich Myshkin, a young man whose goodness and open-hearted simplicity lead many of the more worldly characters he encounters to mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight. In the character of Prince Myshkin, Dostoevsky set himself the task of depicting "the positively good and beautiful man". The novel examines the consequences of placing such a unique individual at the centre of the conflicts, desires, passions and egoism of worldly society, both for the man himself and for those with whom he becomes involved. The result, according to philosopher A.C. Grayling, is "one of the most excoriating, compelling and remarkable books ever written; and without question one of the greatest."
