Blue's Clues 
 The show's producers and creators presented material in a narrative format instead of the more traditional magazine format.
Blue's Clues 
 They used research about child development and young children's viewing habits that had been done in the thirty years since the start of Sesame Street in the U.S. This revolutionized the genre by inviting their viewers' involvement.
Blue's Clues 
 Research was part of the creative and decision-making process in the production of the show and was integrated into all aspects and stages of the creative process.
Blue's Clues 
 It looks like a storybook with primary colors and simple construction paper shapes of familiar objects with varied colors and textures.
Blue's Clues 
 Its home-based setting is familiar to American children, but has a look unlike other children's TV shows.
Blue's Clues 
 A live production of Blue's Clues, which used many of the production innovations developed by the show's creators, toured the U.S. starting in 1999.
Blue's Clues 
 Malcolm Gladwell noted that Sesame Street appealed to both children and adults, but Blue's Clues was solely aimed at preschool children.
Blue's Clues 
 Every episode of Blue was tested on preschool children, and the research noted how much of the time children watched the screen.
Blue's Clues 
 All aspects of the program could be changed if the testing suggested it would work better some other way.
Blue's Clues 
 By 2002, Blue's Clues had received several awards for excellence in children's programming, educational software, and licensing, and had been nominated for nine Emmy Awards.
Blue's Clues 
 The show's extensive use of research in its development and production process inspired several research studies that have provided evidence for its effectiveness as a learning tool.
Ford Motor Company 
 For example, in the 1890s, Ford built a gas engine on his kitchen table — just an engine with nothing to power.
Ford Motor Company 
 Enough people liked the Quadricycle, and much could be done with the it, so it led to the beginning of Ford's business.
Ford Motor Company 
 Ford Motor Company started on June 16, 1903, when Henry Ford and 11 business helpers signed papers to form the company.
Ford Motor Company 
 With $280,000 (around 165 000 pounds), the early businessmen made what was to become one of the world's largest companies.
Ford Motor Company 
 Few companies changed the history and development of industry and society in the 20th century as much as Ford Motor Company.
Ford Motor Company 
 Ford Motor Company's most important contribution to automotive manufacturing was the (moving) assembly line.
Ford Motor Company 
 First implemented at the Highland Park plant (in Michigan, US) in 1913, this new method let each workers to stay in one place, to do the same job repeatedly as the vehicles went by on the assembly line.
Ford Motor Company 
 The line proved to be very efficient; it helped the company make more cars, and make them cheaper than other car companies could do at the time.
Ford Motor Company 
 Henry Ford insisted that the company's future lay in the production of affordable cars for a mass market.
Rastafari movement 
 They say that Jesus has returned again in the form of Haile Selassie I, or Jah, as he promised in the Bible, and he will deliver them to Zion, their name for paradise or Ethiopia.
Rastafari movement 
 There are several things that define a Rastafarian: they do not drink alcohol, they do not cut their hair, they spiritually smoke marijuana, they have a strict all-natural (often vegetarian) diet, and they believe in Jah and Zion.
Rastafari movement 
 Their diet is called I-tal derived from the word vital, and is something like Jewish kosher, but sometimes with no meat at all.
Rastafari movement 
 For them, dreadlocks are an expression of spirituality: the term "dread" refers to a "fear of the Lord".
Rastafari movement 
 They believe that smoking marijuana helps them to get in touch with Jah, and their way of life is improved when they practice meditation.
Rastafari movement 
 Many reggae musicians are part of the Rastafari movement, including the famous musician Bob Marley, who died in 1981.
John Constable 
 John Constable (East Bergholt, Suffolk 11 June 1776 – London, 31 March 1837) was an English painter and artist.
John Constable 
 Constable's father wanted his son to take over the business after him, but Constable started painting at an early age, and convinced his father to let him follow art as a career.
John Constable 
 His paintings are treasures of British art, but in his lifetime his work was appreciated more in France.
John Constable 
 Constable's most famous painting, The Hay Wain (now in the National Gallery in London), was first shown at the Paris Salon in 1824.
John Constable 
 His most famous paintings are landscapes showing the countryside around Dedham and Flatford, where his father's mills were.
John Constable 
 He told Leslie, "When I sit down to make a sketch from nature, the first thing I try to do is to forget that I have ever seen a picture".p51
John Constable 
 Although Constable produced paintings throughout his life for the market of patrons and R.A. exhibitions, on-the-spot studies were essential.
John Constable 
 The world is wide", he wrote, "no two days are alike, nor even two hours; neither were there ever two leaves of a tree alike since the creation of all the world; and the genuine productions of art, like those of nature, are all distinct from each other".p64
John Constable 
 Constable painted many full-scale preliminary sketches of his landscapes in order to test the composition in advance of finished pictures.
John Constable 
 The sketches for The Leaping Horse and The Hay Wain study convey a vigour missing from his finished oil paintings of the same subjects.
John Constable 
 Possibly more than any other aspect of Constable's work, the oil sketches reveal him to be an avant-garde painter, one who showed that landscape painting could be taken in a totally new direction.
John Constable 
 The almost mystical Stonehenge, 1835, with its double rainbow, is often considered to be one of the greatest watercolours ever painted.
John Constable 
 When he exhibited it in 1836, Constable appended a text to the title: "The mysterious monument of Stonehenge, standing remote on a bare and boundless heath, as much unconnected with the events of past ages as it is with the uses of the present, carries you back beyond all historical records into the obscurity of a totally unknown period".p89
John Constable 
 In addition to the full-scale oil sketches, Constable completed numerous  studies of landscapes and clouds, to become more scientific in his recording of atmospheric conditions.
John Constable 
 The Chain Pier, 1827, for example, prompted a critic to write: "the atmosphere possesses a characteristic humidity about it, that almost imparts the wish for an umbrella".p9
John Constable 
 To convey the effects of light and movement, Constable used broken brushstrokes, often in small touches, which he worked over lighter passages.
John Constable 
 One of the most expressionistic and powerful of all his studies is Seascape Study with Rain Cloud, painted in around 1824 at Brighton, which captures with slashing dark brushstrokes an exploding shower at sea.p128 Constable also became interested in painting rainbow effects, for example in Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows, 1831, and in Cottage at East Bergholt, 1833.
John Constable 
 To the sky studies he added notes, often on the back of the sketches, of the prevailing weather conditions, direction of light, and time of day, believing that the sky was "the key note, the standard of scale, and the chief organ of sentiment" in a landscape painting.p110 In this habit he is known to have been influenced by the pioneering work of the meteorologist Luke Howard on the classification of clouds.p68 "I have done a good deal of skying", Constable wrote to Fisher on 23 October 1821.p56
John Constable 
 Constable once wrote in a letter to Leslie, "My limited and abstracted art is to be found under every hedge, and in every lane, and therefore nobody thinks it worth picking up".p129 He could never have imagined how influential his honest techniques would turn out to be.
John Constable 
 Constable's art inspired not only contemporaries like Géricault and Delacroix, but the Barbizon School, and the French impressionists of the late nineteenth century.
Alyssa Milano 
 In 2015, Milano supported Bernie Sanders for President of the United States in the 2016 presidential election.
Alyssa Milano 
 In October 2017, Milano helped popularized the #MeToo movement, an international internet movement, to raise awareness of the dangers and victims of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
A Beautiful Mind (movie) 
 A Beautiful Mind is a 2001 biographical movie about the mathematician John Nash and his experiences of schizophrenia.
McGurk effect 
 Named after the man who found it, Harry McGurk (23 February 1936 – 17 April 1998), it says that people hear speech with their ears, and use other senses to help interpret what they hear.
McGurk effect 
 The McGurk effect happens when watching a video of a person saying /ga/ with a sound-recording saying /ba/. When this is done, a third sound is heard: /da/.
McGurk effect 
 The McGurk effect describes a phenomenon that shows how speech perception is not dependent only on auditory information.
McGurk effect 
 Visual information in the form of reading the lips is also taken into account and combined with the auditory information that is heard to produce the final stimuli perceived.
McGurk effect 
 This can get particularly interesting when the auditory information of one sound, paired with the spoken lips of another sound, ultimately combine to form the perception of a third different sound.
McGurk effect 
 When humans perceive speech, they not only take in auditory information but also visual information as well in the form of reading lips, facial expression, and other body bodily cues.
McGurk effect 
 Usually, these two sources of information are consistent with each other so the brain simply combines them to form one unified perceived stimuli.
McGurk effect 
 When the McGurk effect is tested and the incoming information from the ears and eyes differ, the brian tries to make sense of the contradictory stimuli which ultimately results in a fusion of both.
McGurk effect 
 In humans, information received from the eyes dominates other sensory modalities, including audition, so for instance when 'ba' is heard and 'ga' is seen, the resulting stimuli is heard is 'da'.
McGurk effect 
 The resulting stimuli is what happens when the brain tries to make sense of the two different sets of information.
McGurk effect 
 Interestingly enough, around the same time that Harry McGurk and John Macdonald discovered what is now known as the McGurk effect, another British researcher also stumbled upon this phenomenon.
McGurk effect 
 Barbara Dodd discovered a similar effect with audio-visual speech interpretation but instead it was with the visual cue of 'hole' and the audio cue of 'tough' which ultimately generated the audio perception of 'towel'.
McGurk effect 
 These discoveries in audio-visual speech perception ultimately changed the way scientists and researchers view the interaction of different senses in the brain.
McGurk effect 
 Obviously you cannot ask the infant what they hear since they cannot verbally communicate yet but by measuring certain variables such as their attention to audiovisual stimuli, effects similar to the McGurk effect can be seen.
McGurk effect 
 Very soon after infants are born, sometimes even within minutes of birth, they are able to imitate adult facial movements; an important first step in audiovisual speech perception.
McGurk effect 
 Evidence of the McGurk effect is not visible though until about 4 months of age, with a much stronger presence at around 5 months after birth.
McGurk effect 
 As infants grow older and continue to develop, the McGurk effect also becomes more prominent as visual cues start to override purely auditory information in audiovisual speech perception.
McGurk effect 
 Although the McGurk effect has been primarily studied in English because of its origins in English speaking countries, research has now spread to others countries with different languages as well.
McGurk effect 
 Research has shown that the McGurk effect is much more prominent in English listeners compared to Japanese listeners.
McGurk effect 
 One strong hypothesis for this is the difference between cultures and how each culture behaves and interacts.
McGurk effect 
 Japanese culture is notable for being politeness and avoiding direct eye or face contact when interacting.
McGurk effect 
 When compared to adults though, children tend to show less susceptibility to the McGurk effect since their primary sense of speech perception is dominated by auditory information.
McGurk effect 
 Nevertheless, the McGurk effect was present in certain contexts but the effects were much more variable than when the tests were run on adults.
McGurk effect 
 Although the McGurk effect's importance may seem isolated to just psychological researchers and scientists, this phenomenon has been expanded to everyday audio and visual speech perception as well.
McGurk effect 
 Two researchers by the name of Wareham and Wright conducted a study in 2005 that may suggest that the McGurk effect can influence how everyday speech is perceived.
McGurk effect 
 This is especially important in witness testimony where the observations and accounts of the witness are usually expected to be accurate and correct.
McGurk effect 
 With this information, witness testimonies now must be interpreted with the notion that the witness may be unaware of their own inaccurate perception.
J. M. W. Turner 
 Joseph Mallord William Turner (Covent Garden, London, 23 April 1775 – Chelsea, London, 19 December 1851) was an English painter and artist.
J. M. W. Turner 
 His mother was ill with mental problems, and the young Turner was sent to live with his uncle in Brentford, where he first started to paint.
J. M. W. Turner 
 In 1802, at the age of only 28, he was elected a member of the Royal Academy, and later became its Professor of Perspective.
J. M. W. Turner 
 As his personal style developed, he began to produce paintings that were generalised or exaggerated in form and colour, rather than realistic or detailed.
J. M. W. Turner 
 In his early career, Turner was influenced by the painters Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin, who painted "historical" landscapes.
J. M. W. Turner 
 Turner became interested in natural catastrophes, and natural phenomena such as sunlight, storm, rain, and fog.
J. M. W. Turner 
 Often called just The Fighting Temeraire, this is a picture of a famous warship that was used in the Battle of Trafalgar.
J. M. W. Turner 
 Other pictures include Rain, Steam and Speed, which shows a steam train crossing a bridge, and Snowstorm which shows a steamship in a snowstorm trying to get into a harbour.
J. M. W. Turner 
 In order to get the right feeling into this painting, he had himself tied to a ship's mast during a storm, so that he could see what it was like.
J. M. W. Turner 
 Some of his most famous paintings show the roughness of nature, with bleak landscapes and violent storms.
J. M. W. Turner 
 But also there is beauty and a sense of calmness in pictures such as Crossing the Brook, a stunning scenic view of the Tamar Valley and River from New Bridge near Gunnislake in Cornwall, painted in 1815, a view which can still be admired today.
J. M. W. Turner 
 He died in Chelsea on 19 September 1851, and was buried next to the painter Joshua Reynolds in St Paul's Cathedral.
J. M. W. Turner 
 Some people complained that the pictures he painted when he was older were not realistic, and some even joked that they could have been painted with a mop.
Claude Monet 
 One of his most famous paintings was called Water Lilies, which he repeated many times in various conditions.
Claude Monet 
 When he was young he met the painter Eugène Boudin who taught him to use oil paints, and encouraged him to paint out of doors.
Claude Monet 
 In 1870 he moved to England to escape the Franco-Prussian War, and in 1871 he moved to Argenteuil near Paris where he painted some of his most famous pictures.
Claude Monet 
 When this picture was shown in 1874 one critic took its title and called the group of artists "Impressionists".
Claude Monet 
 He intended to make fun of the artists, but the name has stuck and this is what people today call this style of painting.
Claude Monet 
 Monet used broad brush strokes to build up his pictures, and painted quite quickly to try and get the idea of the light he could see into his paintings.
Claude Monet 
 If you go very close to one of his pictures it is hard to see what it shows, but if you stand back everything becomes clear.
Claude Monet 
 For example, he painted a series of pictures of haystacks in a field, and another series of pictures of the west front of Rouen Cathedral.
Video 
 The recorder may be a separate machine such as a videocassette recorder (also called a VCR) or built into something else such as a video camera.
Exodus 
 Exodus ends with God's laws and his instructions on how to build a holy container called the Ark of the Covenant.
Exodus 
 After the Hebrews went to Egypt to get food, the old Pharaoh died, and a new Pharaoh came to power and made each Hebrew a slave.
Exodus 
 The Pharaoh made the Hebrews work very hard and told his soldiers to throw their babies into the Nile River.
Exodus 
 He was later rescued by an Egyptian princess, grew up in Pharaoh's palace, and later killed an Egyptian slaveowner.
Exodus 
 One day, while Moses was tending his flocks, God appeared in a burning bush to Moses and instructed him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
Exodus 
 When he returned to Egypt, Moses asked the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, but the Pharaoh refused.
Exodus 
 Only the Israelites' firstborns were spared, as they had the blood of a young lamb on their door, so God did not let the Angel of Death enter their houses (12:23).
Exodus 
 While the Israelites were crossing the Red Sea, the Pharaoh changed his mind and decided to pursue them with his troops.
Exodus 
 Ten Times the Israelites rebeled and tested the L-D during Exodus despite his revealation to them; according to rabbanic literature it was because "..They were still laboring under the slave mentality of the Egyptian bondage."
Stretching (body piercing) 
 Stretching is usually done a little bit at a time, so the pierced hole would not bleed or get infected.
Stretching (body piercing) 
 There are some common ways used to stretch piercings, of different origins and useful for different people.
Stretching (body piercing) 
 Tapering — The most common way to stretch, tapering uses a taper, a piece of jewelry which is smaller at one end and larger at the other.
Stretching (body piercing) 
 The taper is covered  with something slippery, like oil or soap, to make it slide through the skin more easily.
Stretching (body piercing) 
 Dead Stretching — In dead stretching, jewelry is forced through without trying to widen the piercing hole first.
Stretching (body piercing) 
 Teflon Tape Stretching — The jewelry is taken out, and a thin layer of non-sticky teflon tape is wrapped around it to make it thicker.
Stretching (body piercing) 
 If a lot of tape is wrapped around the jewelry, eventually a person's piercing holes can be very wide.
Stretching (body piercing) 
 Body jewellery is measured in gauges from 20g up to 000g; sizes larger than that are measured in fractions of inches.
Chernobyl disaster 
 The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear disaster which occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine.
Chernobyl disaster 
 Because the RBMK reactors used at the plant had no containment building to keep the radiation in, radioactive fallout drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, and the eastern United States.
Chernobyl disaster 
 In addition, many people suffered from acute radiation poisoning and long-term illnesses such as thyroid cancer.
Chernobyl disaster 
 Shift foreman A.F. Akimov reported to deputy-chief engineer A.S. Dyatlov (who supervised the power down) that the oscillations were measured and a final briefing was given.
Chernobyl disaster 
 The reactor showed tendency to accelerate as the cooling pumps connected to the turbine generator were slowing, and due to the property called positive void coefficient of reactivity - as number of so-called ‘voids’ (e.g. steam bubbles) increases due to increased boiling or loss of coolant, so does the reactivity.
Chernobyl disaster 
 At 01:23:40 SIUR (senior reactor chief control engineer) L.F. Toptunov pressed the emergency protection button as planned for the shutdown, at the end of the test.
Chernobyl disaster 
 This was due to the reactor being unstable at low power and the shutdown system having severe design flaws.
Chernobyl disaster 
 At 01:23:43 the power jumped to 17% and due to the power increase, the automatic control rods suffered damage, and they jammed.
Chernobyl disaster 
 The fire caused more radioactive fallout to be released, which was carried by the smoke of the fire into the environment.
Chernobyl disaster 
 After the accident, Reactor 4 was covered by a "sarcophagus" made from steel and concrete to stop the escape of more radiation from the lost corium as well as radioactive dust.
Chernobyl disaster 
 Those countries have continued to pay the high costs for decontamination (removing the radiation) and health care because of the accident.
Chernobyl disaster 
 A 2005 IAEA report tells of 56 direct deaths; of those, 47 were accident workers and 9 were children who died of thyroid cancer.
Chernobyl disaster 
 However, other estimates range from 4,000 to 27,000 by the Union of Concerned Scientists or Greenpeace who estimate that between 93,000 - 200,000 people died as a result of the disaster.
Chernobyl disaster 
 The other three reactors at Chernobyl continued to operate after the disaster because there were not enough other power plants in Ukraine to meet energy demands.
Chernobyl disaster 
 Reactor 2 was decommissioned (permanently turned off and stopped being used) in 1991 after a fire in its turbine hall.
Pripyat 
 The city was abandoned in 1986 after the Chernobyl accident, the worst nuclear reactor accident in history.
Pripyat 
 With entirely abandoned buildings, including abandoned apartment buildings (four of which were yet to be used), swimming pools and hospitals, everything inside remains, from records to papers to children's toys and clothing.
Pripyat 
 Scientists think that the most dangerous radioactive elements will take up to nine hundred years to decay sufficiently to render the area safe.
Pripyat 
 The city is entirely accessible and is relatively safe on the road, although it is unsafe to go around the city without a radiation dosimeter that measures exposure.
Pripyat 
 The doors of all the buildings are open to reduce the risk to visitors, although many have accumulated too much radioactive material to be safe to visit.
Thyroid cancer 
 During a physical exam, a doctor can check for lumps or swelling in the neck; a larger-than-normal thyroid (goiter); and how the patient is feeling in general.
Thyroid cancer 
 Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy: A thin needle, guided by an ultrasound, is put through the skin and into the thyroid.
Thyroid cancer 
 Surgical biopsy: A surgeon can take out one side of the thyroid, or the whole thyroid, so it can be tested for cancer. (
Thyroid cancer 
 The thyroid is supposed to be able to make iodine into thyroid hormones, so if the thyroid cannot do this because of cancer, the test will show it.)
Thyroid cancer 
 2000: 28-year-old Colombian-American actress and model Sofía Vergara was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Thyroid cancer 
 2012: 27-year-old Russian singer and actress, former part of world-wide famous duo t.A.T.u, Yuliya Volkova was diagnosed with stage I papillary thyroid cancer.
