The principles he employed for the city were strikingly similar to what we now know as New Urbanism ideas of planning - an emphasis was placed on pedestrians as opposed to motor car traffic, a sense of community and civic life was encouraged through the use of town squares and abundant planting of greenery provided significant focus on a minimal environmental footprint.
Private automobile traffic was minimized and the city was envisaged on a pedestrian scale.
This neighborhood identity has been crucial in the success of Tel Aviv as a city.
Another important aspect of Geddes's plan was the use of the “superblock,” which was popular in the early to mid 20th century with its origins in the modernist movement.
The main principles were to create extra-large blocks bounded by major rather than minor roads and have them threaded with narrow one-way streets designed in such a way to discourage traffic.
The aim of these superblocks was to foster community and a sense of civic life within them.
In order to achieve this, it was planned that at the center of each block was meant to be a central public space (a garden or public building).
In reality, the commercial factors resulted in few of these central squares being captured for public use.
Geddes took part of his inspiration from the Garden City movement developed by Ebenezer Howard, he was keen to ensure that greenery was an integral part of the Tel Aviv landscape.
To this end, under his plan buildings were restricted to taking up a maximum of only one-third of any given site, these restrictions aimed to ensure maximum potential for neighborhoods well endowed with lush greenery.
Geddes did not prescribe a certain architectural style for the area, traditionally a city planned along the lines of the British Garden City Movement would aim for an architectural style based on the traditional style for the region.
Geddes recognized that the majority of the population he was designed for would-be immigrants from Europe and other parts of the world.
He encouraged the development of a distinctly ‘Jewish style’.
Interestingly Geddes provides little more than this style recommendation in his planning report.
Deterioration and Development
Over the following decades after Geddes's plan was realized the area began to decay and there was significant public lament and dissatisfaction with the decay of the city.
This deterioration was later used as justification for the rapid redevelopment of the area in the 1950s.
However, it was noted that this disapproval of the decay of the city quickly changed to nostalgia when old buildings began being razed to make way for new development.
Resultantly significant effort was made to preserve the historical neighborhoods planned by Geddes and in 1984 the Council for the Preservation of buildings and Sites was established to protect them.
Critics of Tel Aviv’s layout have suggested it is not a beautiful city in the classic sense.
A low standard of construction and of housing units (apartment buildings) has largely been blamed for this, citing that the buildings developed were ugly and akin to stacks of packing cases with shoeboxes for balconies.
Further criticism has been put that the city has not coped well with the increasing population and private car traffic not envisaged by Geddes at the time.
Poor building construction and lack of proper maintenances have served as further critiques of the early city planning.

The "lesbian kiss episode" is a type of the media portrayal of lesbianism in television media.
It was made in the 1990s.
The first time was in 1991 with a kiss on the American L.A. Law series.
It was in the episode "He's a Crowd" between C.J. Lamb and Abby Perkins.
David E. Kelley wrote the episode.
He used the same idea in at least two of his other shows.
Later television series included an episode in which a seemingly heterosexual female character has a kiss with a possibly lesbian or bisexual character.
Most times, the potential of a relationship between the women does not survive past the episode.
The lesbian or suspected lesbian never appears again.

Dendrochronology is tree-ring dating.
It is a method of dating which uses the patterns of growth rings in trees.
In many types of wood, the time rings were formed can be dated to the exact calendar year.
radiocarbon dating, where it is used to calibrate radiocarbon ages.
archaeology, where it is used to date old buildings, etc.
palaeoecology, where it is used to determine certain aspects of past climates
In some parts of the world, it is possible to date wood back a few thousand years, or even many thousands.
The maximum for "fully anchored chronologies" is a little over 11,000 years from present.
The term "fully anchored chronology" means the dates are absolutely certain.
Dendrochronology (word derived from Greek , dendron, "tree limb"; , khronos, "time"; and , -logia) was developed during the first half of the 20th century originally by the astronomer A.E. Douglass, who founded the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona.
Douglass researched sunspot activity.
He expected changes in solar activity would affect climate patterns on Earth.
The climate would be recorded by tree-ring growth patterns.
The phenomenon of tree rings and their relationship with wet and dry years had been noticed before Douglass.
There is a brief note in one of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, and Charles Babbage in 1837 came up with the same idea.
Many trees in temperate zones make one growth ring each year, with the newest adjacent to the bark.
Through a tree's life, a year-by-year ring pattern is formed which reflects the climatic conditions in which the tree grew.
Adequate moisture and a long growing season result in a wide ring.
A drought year may result in a very narrow one.
Alternating poor and favorable conditions, such as mid summer droughts, can result in several rings forming in a given year.
Problems like this are fixed by comparing one part of the world with another.
Missing rings are rare in oak and elm trees: the only recorded instance of a missing ring in oak trees occurred in the year 1816, also known as the Year without a Summer.
Trees from the same region will tend to develop the same patterns of ring widths for a given period.
These patterns can be compared and matched ring for ring with trees growing in the same geographical zone and under similar climatic conditions.
Following these tree-ring patterns from living trees back through time, chronologies can be built up, both for entire regions, and for sub-regions of the world.
Thus wood from ancient structures can be matched to known chronologies (a technique called cross-dating) and the age of the wood determined precisely.
The tree-ring dates can be extended back to 26,000 BP by using other methods.
Those other methods use marine sediment layers and growth rings in corals.

The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology (RTMP, and often referred to as the Royal Tyrrell Museum) is a popular Canadian tourist attraction.
It is a leading centre of palaeontological research which has more than 130,000 fossils.
The museum is  from Drumheller, Alberta and  from Calgary.
It is in the middle of the fossil-bearing strata of the Upper Cretaceous Horseshoe Canyon Formation.
Its specimens come mainly from Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Devil's Coulee Dinosaur Egg Historic Nest Site.
The Museum is named in honour of Joseph Tyrrell, a geologist who discovered the first dinosaur in the Red Deer River Valley in 1884.
The Museum opened September 25, 1985 and was given Royal status by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990.
In its first year of operation, the Museum attracted over 500,000 visitors.
The average annual number of visitors is about 400,000.
In 2010 the museum welcomed its 10-millionth visitor, a young boy from Edmonton.
Collections and exhibits
More than  of the museum's  is dedicated to exhibits.
There are chronological galleries celebrating the 3.9 billion year history of life on Earth.
One of the most popular is "Dinosaur Hall", with almost 40 mounted dinosaur skeletons, including specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex and Albertosaurus.
Other exhibits include "Lords of the Land"; "Burgess Shale"; "Devonian Reef", a life-size model of a 375 million year old reef; a "Cretaceous Garden", with over 600 living species of plants; "Age of Mammals"; and "Ice Ages".
"Triassic Giant" is a  long specimen of the largest known marine reptile.
The  long ichthyosaur Shonisaurus sikanniensis was recovered from the shores of the Sikanni Chief River in northeastern British Columbia.
A window into the "Preparation Lab" allows visitors to watch technicians as they carefully prepare fossils for research and exhibition.
There are also tours of the badlands; the hands-on "Nexen Science Hall" with interactive exhibits; simulated fossil digs, and summer camps for children and families, and much more.
The Witenagemot or Witan was an institution in Anglo-Saxon England, from about the 7th to the 11th century.
The name is Old English and means council of the wise men.
Originally, Witan was the plural of wita (the wise man); but it was used as a singular.
The council was similar to the Germanic assembly called Thing.
The purpose of the Witenagemot was to give an opinion about the administration and the organisation of the kingdom.
They talked about how law should develop.
They elected or confirmed the king.
The Witenagemot also had the power to depose a king.
This happened when they deposed Sigeberht of Wessex in 755.
They also deposed Æthelwald Moll of Northumbria in 765.
Witans were held at least once a year; usually more often.
In many respects they were similar to modern-day Parliament.
Unlike Parliament, the locations where they were held changed; neither the Witans nor the king had a permanent place to stay.
When the Normans invaded England in 1066, they replaced the Witenagemot with another institution.
This institution was still known as Witan or Witenagemot until the 12th century.
Chorea (sometimes called Choreia) is the name for a set of symptoms caused by some neurological conditions.
The word "chorea" comes from Greek, where it means "dance".
People with chorea move without being able to control those movements.
The movements seem to spread from one muscle to the next.
Some forms of chorea are not linked to neurological conditions, though.
Chorea can develop as a complication of pregnancy.
It can be a sign of hyperthyroidism.
It can also be caused by drugs taken in the wrong dose.
For example, L-Dopa (taken against Parkinson's disease), certain forms of birth control, or certain antipsychotics can cause chorea if they are used in the wrong doses.
Vermouth is a sweet wine, that has been converted to a spirit.
It usually has between 15 and 18 percent of alcohol.
Also, certain herbs are added to flavour the wine.
Its name is derived from a plant called Artemisia absinthium, which makes it taste slightly bitter.
It is often used for cocktails.
In its current form, Vermouth was first made in Turin, in 1757.
In the 19th century, it was also produced in France.
Vermouth is also popular in parts of Spain.
Vermouth is sometimes used as a substitute for white wine in cooking.
Vermouth is not the same as the spirit called Absinthe.
Absinthe is also based on Artemisia absinthium, but it has 45-50 percent alcohol per volume.

Natural killer cells (or NK cells) are a type of lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system.
NK cells provide a rapid response to cells infected by viruses, or to bacterial cells.
The response happens about 3 days after infection.
NK cells also respond to tumour formation.
NK cells are unique: they have the ability to recognise stressed cells in the absence of antibodies and major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
This allows for a much faster immune reaction.
In early experiments in cancer patients and animals, investigators found what was called a "natural" reactivity.
That is, a certain population of cells seemed to be able to kill tumour cells without previously being sensitized to them.
At first many thought that these observations were artifacts.
However, by 1973, 'natural killing' activity was established across a wide variety of species, and the existence of a separate line of cells with this ability was suggested.
To control their cytotoxic activity, NK cells have two types of surface receptors: activating receptors and inhibitory receptors.
When the NK cell is activated, it destroys the cells which have switched it on.
Small granules in their cytoplasm contain proteins and enzymes called granzymes.
They are released close to a cell which has triggered their action.
A protein perforin forms pores in the cell membrane of the target cell, creating a channel through which enzymes and other molecules can enter.
This kills the target cell.
The details vary according to whether the target is a virus, a bacterium or a tumour cell.
These inhibitory receptors recognize MHC class I molecules, which could explain why NK cells kill cells with low levels of MHC class I molecules.
This inhibition is crucial to the role played by NK cells.
MHC class I molecules are main way cells display viral or tumor antigens to cytotoxic T-cells.
A common evolutionary adaptation to this seen in both intracellular microbes and tumours is a long-term down-regulation of these MHC I molecules.
This makes the cells impervious to T-cell action.
NK cells may have evolved as an evolutionary response: the loss of MHC would deprive these cells of the inhibitory effect of MHC and make them vulnerable to NK cell attack.
NK cell function in adaptive response
The adaptive immune response generates memory cells after a primary infection.
Then there is a rapid response to later infections by the same antigen.
Earlier it was thought that NK cells play no role in the adaptive immune responses, but now it seems they do.

Hospitality is about people welcoming other people into their homes or other places where they work or spend their time.
People who welcome visitors are called hosts.
The people they welcome are called guests.
The word hospitality comes from the Latin hospes, which came from  the word hostis, which originally meant "to have power."
Hospitality is all about the art of entertaining or receiving guests.
We talk about "offering hospitality".
There are many different ideas about how to offer hospitality according to the various cultures in the world.
In the past, many societies taught that it was always right to offer hospitality to strangers who came to their door in need of food or shelter.
This may seem a strange idea to many of us today, but it was an important way to survive in many societies, especially in lands where people travelled long distances, often far away from large towns.
The words hospital, hospice, and hostel also come from the word "hospitality".
They are all about giving personal care to people who are away from their homes.

The Herero and Namaqua Genocide is thought to have been the first genocide of the 20th century.
It took place between 1904 and 1907 in German South West Africa (today called Namibia), during the scramble for Africa.
On January 12, 1904, the Herero people, led by Samuel Maharero, fought back against German colonial rule.
In August, German general Lothar von Trotha defeated the Herero in the Battle of Waterberg and drove them into the desert of Omaheke, where most of them died of thirst.
In October, the Nama people also fought against the Germans only to suffer a similar fate.
In total, from 24,000 up to 100,000 Herero and 10,000 Nama died.
The genocide was marked by many deaths by starvation and thirst because the Herero who fled the violence were not allowed to go back to the Namib Desert.
Some sources also claim that the German colonial army normally poisoned desert wells.
In 1985, the United Nations' Whitaker Report said that the aftermath was an attempt to exterminate the Herero and Nama peoples of South West Africa, and said it was one of the first tries at genocide in the 20th century.
The German government said that the genocide happened and said sorry for the events in 2004, but did not give compensation to the victims' relatives.

The glaciation was named after evidence got from Lake Huron region in North America.
There, three separate horizons of glacial deposits are separated by non-glacial sediment.
This was one of the most severe and longest ice ages in geologic history.
It was similar to the Snowball Earth ice ages that happened later, in the Neoproterozoic era.
The glaciations were probably triggered by the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE), which removed atmospheric methane (a greenhouse gas), and eventually supplied free oxygen to the atmosphere.
The alternate warm and ice age periods was probably caused by a repeating cycle.
Cyanobacteria flourished in the warm periods, producing huge amounts of oxygen.
The oxygen removed the free methane, and used up carbon dioxide.
This caused the temperature to crash.
This slowed down the bacteria.
So the temperature rose again.

A wax tablet is what the Roman schools used instead of paper.
They used a stylus to write with.
The wax melted when warm, but was quite smooth when it set.
Wax tablets could also be used for messages, but ink on wood was more permanent (see Vindolanda).
The Romans also used ink on manuscripts, and could stitch the manuscripts together to make a codex.
The earliest surviving example of a writing tablet dates to the later Bronze Age, 1400 BC.
A boxwood writing tablet with an ivory hinge was found in 1986, in the remains of a shipwreck, the Uluburun Shipwreck, near Kaş, Turkey.
