Urbandale is a city in central Iowa.
It is in Dallas and Polk counties.
Urbandale is near Des Moines.
Almost forty thousand people live in Urbandale.
The city was incorporated during Spring 1917.
The term annual percentage rate (APR), also called nominal APR, and the term effective APR, means the interest rate for a whole year, rather than just a monthly fee/rate, as applied on a loan, mortgage loan, or credit card.
This rate is useful when buying a car, a house, or any other expensive possession.
Since few people are able to afford to pay the full price, many sellers choose to divide the price into monthly payments and a down payment.
This makes things easier to buy.
Once the buyer pays the down payment, he or she enters into an agreement to pay the remaining months.
But since the buyer has not paid the entire amount yet, the seller is essentially lending part of the purchase to the buyer.
This is where interest rates come in.
The seller charges the monthly payments with a part or a percentage of the remaining amount.
This amount gets added onto the monthly payment.
Some companies force the buyer to pay the interest first, and the remaining amount pays the original loaned amount, called the principal.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a platform video game for the Nintendo GameCube game console.
It was released in Japan on December 16, 2004, in Europe on February 4, 2005, and in North America on March 14, 2005.
It is played with the DK Bongos controller.
The game involves combat, platforming, and counterattacking (attacking enemies after they attack you).
Players use the left drum to move left, the right drum to move right, and both drums to jump.
Clapping or hitting the sides of the drums causes Donkey Kong to clap.
Clapping produces a small small red ring and a bigger green one.
Enemies that are in the red ring are usually defeated, and those that are in the green ring are usually stunned.
Stunned enemies can be killed by jumping on them and hitting the drums repeatedly.
The goal is not just to get to the end of the level, but also to get as many "beats" (points) as the player can.
Beats are gotten by grabbing bananas, and lost by being hit or falling.
More beats can be gotten by doing combos while grabbing bananas.
The level system involves several "kingdoms."
Each kingdom has three platforming levels.
At the end of each kingdom is a boss.
There are four species of bosses.
Each species of boss has different fighting styles and ways of defeating.
After a boss is defeated, the number of beats is counted, and the player earns a crest depending on how many were gotten.
The crests are as follows:
Under 400: Bronze crest
400: Silver crest
800: Gold crest
1200 and above: Platinum crest
In 2008 and 2009, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was one of the games released as part of the "New Play Control!"
series of remade Nintendo GameCube games for the Wii.
It features new and changed levels along with more traditional controls that use the analog stick to move and the A button to jump.

Robert Edwin Peary, Sr. (
May 6, 1856 – February 20, 1920) was an American explorer who claimed to have led the first expedition, on April 6, 1909, to reach the geographic North Pole.
Peary's claim was widely credited for most of the 20th century, rather than the competing claim by Frederick Cook who said he got there a year earlier.
Peary was born on May 6, 1856 in Cresson, Pennsylvania.
He was raised in Portland, Maine.
Peary studied at Bowdoin College.
He was married to Josephine Diebitsch from 1888 until his death in 1920.
Peary died on February 20, 1920 in Washington, D.C. from an illness, aged 63.

It is the first game in the Star Fox series.
It was the first three-dimensional Nintendo video game.
It was released in Japan on February 21, 1993, in North America on March 23, 1993, and in Europe on June 3, 1993.
It uses the Super FX chip, which improves the graphics display.
The story involves Fox McCloud and his Star Fox team defending their home of Corneria from Andross, the game's main villain.
The gameplay involves guiding Fox's spacecraft, an Arwing, through stages while destroying enemies.
Power-ups are placed in stages to help the player.
The player must also defend their teammates from enemies.
At the end of each stage is a boss.
After completing a stage, the player is given a score based on how many enemies they destroyed and how well they defended their teammates.
The game was released in the spring of 1993 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and quickly became a phenomenon.
Before it was even released, preorders exceeded 1.7 million copies.
In order to keep up with the preorder demand Nintendo shipped a million game cartridges on the game's opening weekend, some dropped by parachute to stores such as Sears.
To promote the game, Nintendo created Star Fox-themed kiosks which loosely resembled an Arwing and sent them to Sears stores.
A TV with a VCR stood next to the kiosk, and if one sat in a chair inside the kiosk then it would rumble in response to the actions on-screen.
Another game promotion was the Super Star Fox Weekend competition, in which specially rigged Star Fox game cartridges set to time themselves for four minutes were played.
The objective of the competition was to get the highest score by shooting down the most enemies within the time limit.
Prizes included a free trip to one of four locations around the globe, along with flight pins, flights jackets and other assorted winnings.

An ice core is a long piece of ice taken from a glacier.
The ice is drilled very deep, so that the ice core goes back to old ice at the bottom of the glacier.
Usually, ice cores are taken from Antarctica, Greenland or very high mountains.
Snow falls on ground and accumulates (gets deeper).
As more snow falls, the bottom layers get compacted (thinner) because of the weight on top.
In the end, only ice remains, and all air goes away.
The deeper the ice, the older it is.
Ice cores can be dated by looking at the layers: often every season can be seen in the ice core because it forms a layer.
At other times it is more difficult to find out how old the ice is.
Other methods can be used, like measuring conductivity or making mathematical models.
Scientists study ice cores to find out how the climate was in the past.
The ice keeps information like gases, particles, ash from volcanoes.
The type of water that forms the ice can be used to calculate the temperature of Earth.
Ice cores help us know what the temperature was on the planet in the past 800 thousand years.
We know more about ice ages that happen periodically.
This is a helpful addition to our knowledge about global warming.

Milutin Milanković  (28 May 1879 – 12 December 1958) was a Serbian mathematician, astronomer, geophysicist, climatologist, civil engineer and writer.
Milanković made two fundamental contributions to science.
The first contribution was the "Canon of the Earth’s insolation", which explained the climates of the planets of the Solar system.
He founded cosmic climatology by calculating temperatures of the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere as well as the temperature conditions on planets of the inner Solar system, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Moon, as well as the depth of the atmosphere of the outer planets.
The second contribution was his explanation of how the Earth's long-term climate changes are caused by changes in Earth's spin and orbit around the Sun.
These are now known as Milankovich cycles.
They explain the ice ages which occurred in the geological past of the Earth, and predict climate changes on the Earth which may be expected in the future.
The explanation is not entirely accurate, so no doubt there are other factors also at work.
These other factors would be such things as how much oxygen and carbon dioxide are in the atmosphere, the position of the continents, the amount of volcanic action, and so on.
However, the cycles of climate do seem broadly to go as Milankovic predicted.
Geological evidence from rhythmical features in sedimentary rocks are common.

Educational psychology is a branch of psychology.
It has ancient roots, but was mostly developed in the 20th century.
It has two "faces", the scientific and the humanistic.
Two concepts
Education as an objective science was strongly promoted around 1900 by Alfred Binet and Edward Thorndike.
Binet it was who invented the first intelligence tests, and they were extended and promoted in English by Louis Terman.
Binet's ideas were sympathetic to Thorndike, who was above all interested in turning psychology into a real science by research, measurement and empirical evidence.
The arrival of World War I caused a huge conscription of men into the fighting services.
Sorting out men of all types was an urgent problem.
The intelligence tests proved to be very useful at helping get the right men into the right jobs.
Not surprisingly, the use of IQ tests continued in education, where a similar problem of sorting out occurs in unselected public school enrollments.
The other way to look at educational psychology is to notice that a child is a growing person.
Unlike most adults, the child is open to influence.
Education does change a child.
The emphasis on the child as a growing person is typical of humanistic psychology.
It has many supporters, especially at primary school level.
Examples of educators whose interest was humanistic include Johann Pestalozzi, Maria Montessori, John Dewey, and Jean Piaget.
This type of approach is called "child-centered" education.
Public certification
How these two approaches are balanced varies in different countries.
Many countries have arrangements for certified psychologists to inluence schools and help children.
These posts are now called 'educational and child psychology' in the United Kingdom.
Since a training overhaul in 2006, there is a 3-year taught doctorate similar to that of clinical psychology.
In the United States it is still called school psychology.
Educational and child psychology is the practice of applied psychology with children and families in the context of education and is usually based within a government local authority.
Kermit Gosnell (1941-) is a physician with a clinic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He has been charged with murdering babies born alive.
A patient also died in his care.
He is facing 8 charges of murder and a possible death penalty.
State officials, despite awareness of bad things going on, did nothing to stop him from 1993 until the FBI raided his clinic in 2010 on an unrelated matter.
Gary Player (born 1 November 1935) is a South African golfer.
He won the Masters Tournament three times, and nine major championships altogether.
He is one of only five men to win all four majors.
Begun in 1965, it joined together the eight National Trusts in each Australian state and territory.
It provides them with a national office and national and international presence.
Together, the National Trusts own or manage over 300 heritage places.
About 7000 people work as volunteers with and there are 350 paid employees.
Around 1,000,000 people visit the properties and their collections in Australia each year.
Member organisations
It was based on the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty in England.
Local campaigns to conserve native bushland and save old buildings were the forces that led to the first Australian national trusts in New South Wales in 1947, South Australia in 1955 and Victoria in 1956.
They were followed later by Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland.
Annie Forsyth Wyatt (1885-1961) was the driving force behind the beginning of the National Trust in Australia.
She lived for much of her life in a cottage in Gordon, New South Wales, which is still standing.

Talgai is an archaeological site, near Allora on the Darling Downs, south east of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
In 1884 a Pleistocene era skull was found in Dalrymple Creek after a big flood.
It was found by William Naish, a shearer, who was building a fence at the East Talgai station.
The skull was that of a 14 year old boy who had lived about 11,000 years ago.
Naish gave the skull to the owners of the station.
It was purchased by the University of Sydney in 1914.
It was the first fossil found which showed the early human occupation of Australia.
The skull was heavily encrusted with calcium carbonate and the shape had been distorted during long time buried in the ground.
At first scientists thought it was a primitive skull with ape like teeth.
Later study showed that the skull was a modern Homo sapien, the teeth were normal, but heavily worn.
The boy had a massive injury to the side of his skull which was probably what had killed him.
In 1968 a Tom Haydon made a documentary movie, The Talgai Skull: An Investigation Into the Origin of the Australian Aborigines.
It won the Australian Film Institute award for Best Documentary.

Woodhenge is a Neolithic henge and timber circle monument near Stonehenge.
It is part of the UNESCO Stonehenge World Heritage Site in Wiltshire,  north-east of Stonehenge.
The structure was probably built during the period of the Beaker culture.
This spanned both the late Neolithic and Britain's early Bronze Age.
The ditch has been dated to between 2470 and 2000 BC, which would be about the same time as, or slightly later than, construction of the stone circle at Stonehenge.
The timber monument was probably earlier.
Radiocarbon dating of artifacts shows that the site was still in use around 1800 BC.
The site consists of six concentric oval rings of post holes, the outermost being about  wide.
They are surrounded first by a single flat-bottomed ditch,  deep and up to  wide, and finally by an outer bank, about  wide and  high.
With an overall diameter measuring , the site had a single entrance to the northeast.
At the center of the rings, was a crouched inhumation of a child, which Cunnington interpreted as a dedicatory sacrifice.
After excavation, the remains were taken to London, where they were destroyed during the Blitz, making further examination impossible.
Cunnington also found a crouched inhumation of a teenager in a grave dug in the Eastern section of the ditch, opposite the entrance.
Most of the 168 post holes held wooden posts, although Cunnington found evidence that a pair of standing stones may have been placed between the second and third post hole rings.
Recent excavations in 2006 have indicated that there were, in fact, at least five standing stones on the site, arranged in a "cove".
The deepest post holes measured up to  – and are believed to have held posts which reached as high as  above ground.
Those posts would have weighed up to 5 tons, and their arrangement was similar to that of the bluestones at Stonehenge.
The positions of the postholes are currently marked with modern concrete posts – a simple and informative method of displaying the site.
Simple tracings were made of Maud Cunnington's and Professor Alexander Thom's plans of Woodhenge, which when folded to find its major axis of symmetry indicated that the monument may be aligned on the moon.
A GPS survey made in 2008 produced the same result.
Relationship with other monuments
Over 40 years after the discovery of Woodhenge, another timber circle of comparable size was discovered in 1966.
Known as the Southern Circle, inside of what came to be known as the Durrington Walls henge enclosure, only  north of Woodhenge.
It is likely that the timbers were freestanding, rather than part of a roofed structure.
For many years work on the study of Stonehenge had overshadowed any real breakthroughs in the understanding of Woodhenge.
Ongoing investigations are part of the Stonehenge Riverside Project.
Theories have emerged in which the sites may all be integrated into an overall layout, in which the structures were linked by roads, and which incorporated the natural features of the River Avon.
One suggestion is that the use of wood vs. stone may have held a special significance in the beliefs and practices involving the transformation between life and death.
