This course aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of youth culture and youth work in global and local contexts. It explores different concepts of youth and their theoretical and ideological foundations, and discusses key themes in studies of youth culture including youth in society (e.g. citizenship, school-to-work transition, social inclusion and exclusion), youth cultural practice (e.g. subcultures, globalization, consumption and identity), and youth in community (e.g. democratic participation, youth and public space). The course furthermore examines approaches to youth work in contemporary societies, with emphases on reflective understanding of the problems and needs of today’s youth, and critical appraisal of major youth work models. Current policy issues related to human rights and well-being of young people will also be discussed.


In 1810, there were nine Black people enslaved on the Staatsburgh estate in Dutchess County, NY. In 1910, the staff working inside Staatsburgh, now the Staatsburgh State Historic Site, was exclusively White and European – with only one documented Black resident in the entire hamlet. What happened? Staatsburgh’s founder, Governor Morgan Lewis, enslaved people of African descent at Staatsburgh. Yet, when his great-granddaughter, Ruth Livingston Mills, lived at Staatsburgh at the turn of the 20th century, the staff was exclusively White and of European descent. At the same time, a free Black community was able to grow and thrive in the surrounding hamlet. [Read more…] about Slavery, Segregation & Stattsburgh State Historic Site

Wed Apr 28 2021 Data Structure0 views A binary tree is an important type of structure which is characterized by the fact that any node can have at most two branches, there is no node with degree greater than two. The distinguish between the subtree on the left and on the right, whereas for trees the order of the subtree was irrelevant. Also a binary tree may have zero nodes. Thus a binary tree is really a different object than a tree. From a graph theory perspective, binary trees as defined here are actually arborescences.


Molokhia is a summer crop that does not tolerate frost. Start seeds indoors in April. Plant seeds 1/8" deep. Germination happens faster at 80°F. Transplant outside into fertile, well drained soil in sunny location, after chance of frost has passed (after 5/21). Plant spacing 12-18". Grows faster with irrigation and fertilization. After plants reach ~2' tall, harvest individual leaves or cut 6" branches and strip the leaves off of the stems. Leaves are usually cooked but they can be eaten raw or dried. See Palestinian Molokhia recipe here. Allow seed pods to mature completely on plant, until brown and dry - ripe seeds inside should be blue-green (almost black) and angular. Open pods to remove seeds, then winnow to clean. Harvest seeds from as many plants as possible to preserve diversity.


Here is a shape for the D sharp / E flat minor guitar chord. This chord diagram uses one of the more common bar chord voicings. The lowest root note of this chord is the D# / Eb on the 6th fret of the 5th string. When a note can be called by more than one name, in this case D sharp or E flat, that note is said to be enharmonic. This can be a difficult bar chords to play.

Pollution is a human problem in the present and a problem in the future of human life. Household waste and industrial waste without adequate treatment then flow into waterways, rivers and coastal waters have a significant impact on flora and fauna in the water. Domestic waste, especially increasing Biological oxygen demand (BOD) can reduce dissolved oxygen, which causes anoxic conditions. The system dynamics approach was used by simulating time series data related to BOD pollution in waters from all provinces in Indonesia. Scenarios that can be done to reduce BOD are optimistic scenarios. In the optimistic scenario, it can improve the index by 0.28 while in the moderate scenario reduce the index by 0.15. In an optimistic scenario, 2045 is included in the good category.

All about mindfulness What is mindfulness? Mindfulness simply means being aware of our experience. Read about the benefits and how to train it. What is (self-)compassion? Kindness and friendliness, both for yourself (self-compassion) and for others (compassion), are qualities you can train. Instead of managing on autopilot, mindful leadership trains you to respond more consciously and to respond with an open mind.


Leprosy is one of the world’s oldest and most persistent diseases but the bacteria that cause it may also have the surprising ability to grow and regenerate a vital organ. Scientists have discovered that parasites associated with leprosy can reprogram cells to increase the size of a liver in adult animals without causing damage, scarring or tumors. The findings suggest the possibility of adapting this natural process to renew aging livers and increase healthspan--the length of time living disease-free--in humans. Experts say it could also help regrow damaged livers, thereby reducing the need for transplantation, which is currently the only curative option for people with end-stage scarred livers.

Perfect your mobile game by using the right development methodology. Having a successful mobile game development methodology begins with a clear storyboard. Creating the storyboard is a process of analyzing all the pieces that will go into your game and planning how you will develop them. After the storyboard is laid out you are ready to begin designing the user interface. The user interface involves understanding the user requirements and designing the visuals of the game. With a well-defined user interface you are then ready to begin the actual programming of the game. Running parallel to the programming is back-end development, in which a database of player’s data is created in order to analyze the game. The last step is thorough testing of the finished game to uncover any problems or glitches.


Engines of the devil: why dieselisation of private automobile fleet should be banned - the case of Delhi This Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) monograph busted the myth that diesel is the fuel of the future and shows how harmful it is for the health. To understand the problem posed by diesel, it is necessary to understand the new information that has emerged over the last decade about its ill-effects. The first big finding come with air pollution experts discovering that diesel exhaust consists of 10-100 times more particles than petrol. More than that, experts soon began to realise that it is not the total quantity of particles that matters so much for public health as the size of the particles in vehicular exhaust.


American politician, 14th President of the United States (in office from 1853 to 1857) Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States (1853–1857), a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation. He alienated anti-slavery groups by championing and signing the Kansas–Nebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act; yet he failed to stem conflict between North and South, setting the stage for Southern secession and the American Civil War.Read more on There are 20 more famous people who are born on the same day as Franklin Pierce.

It wouldn't look out of place in a science-fiction film, but this robotic arm could be set to change the real lives of disabled people in Kenya. It was invented by David Gathu and Moses Kinyua and is powered by brain signals. The signals are converted into an electric current by a "NeuroNode" biopotential headset receiver. This electrical current is then driven into the robot's circuitry, which gives the arm its mobility. The arm has several component materials including recycled wood and moves vertically and horizontally.


2 November 2018 How do we get clean air for children? We all have the right to breathe clean air but children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of illegal and harmful levels of air pollution and need protecting. The Clean Air Parents’ Network, supported by ClientEarth and the British Lung Foundation, is calling for the UK Government to fund emergency action to protect children from toxic air, where they learn and where they play. Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A on Wednesday 28th November to learn more about how air pollution is damaging children’s health and how you can make a difference for young hearts and lungs. This event is supported by the Little House of Science.


Casting is a process in which solidifying metal is extracted through an open ended mold fitted with a cooling unit. Heat is extracted and the metal exist the mold as a solid with a constant cross section. It allows lower cost production of metal sections with better quality, due to finer control through automation of the casting process. Generally a saw is set up after the withdrawal rolls, in order to cut the casting at constant lengths. The castings are semi-finished products, which are further processed in extrusion, drawing, rolling or machining operations.


The U.S. helium reserve in Amarillo, Tex., controlled by the Bureau of Land Management, accounts for 30 percent of the world’s helium. But a current Senate Bill calls for the reserve to continue selling helium, even if it risks running out by 2018. Helium is a common inert gas, but for commercial purposes it’s usually generated as a byproduct from natural gas mining. But because the recession has caused a slowdown in natural-gas production, helium markets are facing a shortage; more plants will coming online by the end of 2012 in Qatar, Russia and Wyoming, but not in time to ease the current crisis.

HSAB concept is an initialism for "hard and soft (Lewis) acids and bases". Also known as the Pearson acid-base concept, HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining stability of compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species. 'Hard' applies to species which are small, have high charge states, and are weakly polarizable. 'Soft' applies to species which are big, have low charge states and are strongly polarizable. Read article on Wikipedia


A metal and an element in the periodic table. Like copper and gold, pure silver is very soft, so is often mixed with other metals to make it stronger. The most common silver alloy used in jewelry is sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Silver wire and sheets can also be hardened by being hammered. Sterling silver jewelry may be plated with a very thin coat of fine silver to give it a shinier finish. Silver is often mixed into colored gold alloys to make them paler and harder.

- The paper discusses a panoramic vision system for autonomous-navigation purposes. It describes an economic PC-based method for integrating data from multiple camera sources in real time. The views from adjacent cameras are visualized together as a panorama of the scene using a modified correlation-based stitching algorithm. A separate operator is presented with a particular slice of the panorama matching the user's viewing direction. Additionally, a simulated environment is created where the operator can choose to augment the video by simultaneously viewing an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) view of the scene. Potential applications of this system include enhancing quality and range of visual cues, and navigation under hostile circumstances where direct view of the environment is not possible or desirable. 2006 IEEE.


Seasonal allergies (or hayfever) occur during certain seasons, specifically spring, summer and fall. They arise from exposure to pollens and molds.

What Does Neurotoxins Mean? Neurotoxins are substances that are poisonous or destructive to nerve tissue and do damage to the body's central nervous system. Neurotoxins inhibit the function of neurons, which are found within the brain and the nervous system. Neurotoxins travel along the axis cylinders of the motor nerves and into the brain. Safeopedia Explains Neurotoxins Neurons are crucial for a number of tasks, from simple things like swallowing to higher brain functions. Prolonged exposure to neurotoxins, therefore, can cause serious problems. Neurotoxins are usually absorbed through digestion. Exposure to neurotoxins can cause dizziness, nausea, loss of motor control, paralysis, difficulty with vision, seizures, and strokes, as well as long term motor problems and psychological issues such as dementia. Examples of neurotoxins include lead, aluminum, mercury, and drinking alcohol.


Germany - 2 Euro Colored 2019, 30 years of fall of the wall Value: 2 Euro On November 9, 1989, this milestone marked the end of the Cold War and heralded the end of decades of international tensions.

The European Union then welcomed 16 million new citizens in just one year, which had a structural and economic effect equivalent to that of the accession of a new country.


HWA held its first augural World Book Day 2021 on 23 April 2021 in an effort to cultivate students who not only have strong literacy skills but also a true love of reading and learning. As part of HWA’s reading literacy programme, one of our major goals for the event is to expose students to new books and authors and provide students the opportunity to share what they are reading. The World Book Day celebration was a perfect way to celebrate all things literature related! The Reading Tic Tac Toe grid activity challenged the students, during their term break, to read in different languages and took them on oral, listening and speaking adventures as they found new ways to relate to the texts. Our creative students also took the time to dress as their favourite book characters and enjoyed their time in the Starbooks Cafe, toasting their newfound knowledge!

A Brief History of Veterans Day Veterans Day is held on November 11th, and that date is fast approaching. For many, it is just another opportunity to go out and party. These people often times fail to realize the significance of the holiday. It is far more than an excuse to get an extra day off from work or to go out and drink too much. Veterans Day is a day to honor all military veterans who have ever served in the armed forces. This is not to be confused with Memorial Day, which is day meant to honor those who died while serving in the armed forces. Veterans Day was officially made into a national holiday on May 26th, 1954 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill into law. The bill to establish Veterans Day as a national holiday was proposed by Ed Rees, a US Representative from Kansas. Before Veterans Day ...

1. Sand casting process This process of sand casting is a more traditional process, which is a casting method for producing castings in sand. Generally steel, iron and most non-ferrous alloys are more suitable for casting with this technology. In particular, some tools with complex shapes, especially with complex cavities, are manufactured by sand casting. It has the advantages of wide adaptability and low cost. 2. Investment casting in metal sand casting The process of investment casting is a relatively new type of metal casting process. The advantage of this process casting product is that the dimensional accuracy is relatively high, and the disadvantage is that the surface is rough. But alloys can be cast without restriction, that is, the cost is relatively high, and it is mainly used for processing small parts, such as turbine engine blades.

Internment means putting a person in prison or other kind of detention, generally in wartime. During World War II, the American government put Japanese-Americans in internment camps, fearing they might be loyal to Japan. Internment usually doesn’t involve a trial, so you're being held because someone thinks you might be dangerous, but there’s no proof. The internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II is now widely considered to have been a terrible mistake, in that the citizens who were detained — some for as long as four years — were not traitors, but loyal Americans, and their internment caused them considerable emotional and economic hardship. Internment comes from the Latin internus, “inward.” Close your vocabulary gaps with personalized learning that focuses on teaching the words you need to know.

Hand dyed shibori dupattas and sarees in silk/cotton In Japan, the earliest known example of cloth dyed with a shibori technique dates from the 8th century. There are an infinite number of ways one can bind, stitch, fold, twist, or compress cloth for shibori, and each way results in very different patterns. Each method is used to achieve a certain result, but each method is also used to work in harmony with the type of cloth used. Therefore, the technique used in shibori depends not only on the desired pattern, but the characteristics of the cloth being dyed. Sorry, there are no products in this collection.

Strengthen Your Immune System Vaccinations may boost resistance, but cures for virus-based illnesses like the flu don’t exist. So, keep your immune system "tuned"—it’s the only one you’ve got! Boost your immune system with: - adequate sleep, - getting recommended vaccinations, - eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, - getting recommended exercise, - washing your hands and maintaining good hygiene, - avoiding smoking and heavy alcohol use (or getting evaluated for addictive illness if you struggle with these issues), and - maintaining a healthy weight. The immune system becomes less efficient with age. Examine gaps in your immune system maintenance plan, and talk to your EAP, medical doctor, or health/wellness adviser to overcome roadblocks. It may be a first step to a longer life. Keith Stein |


Why Walnut Wood? Walnut wood is a valuable hardwood because of its resilience, grain, and hue. The exciting thing about walnut wood is that it lightens with age! Over the years, natural walnut wood develops a lustrous patina and is the only dark-brown domestic wood species. Although there are many varieties of walnut trees, just a handful are native to North America. Of them, the Eastern Black Walnut, also called the American Black Walnut or American Walnut, is the one typically used for woodworking.

Many issues involving contaminants within the environment, also involve the water cycle in some way (surface water, soil water, groundwater). In this course students will learn the components of the hydrologic cycle, precipitation, snow processes, evapotranspiration, infiltration and soil water, surface runoff, and groundwater. Additionally, students will be introduced to river processes, channel hydraulics, forest hydrology, wetlands, surface water quality concerns and contaminant hydrogeology. Analytic skills regarding quantitative and qualitative hydrologic data will be enhanced through lab exercises, field trips and class assignments.

Enviros applaud Trump for critical habitat proposals for 12 species of endangered corals In a long-awaited move from the Trump administration, the US has proposed critical habitat protections for twelve coral species in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean. The rules would protect over 6,000 sq miles (nearly 16,000 sq km) of critical coral habitat. The rules cite climate change as the most severe threat to all 12 coral species across their range. Impacts of the climate crisis include ocean acidification, which hinders the ability of corals to grow, and ocean warming, which causes corals to expel the algae living in their tissues in a phenomenon known as coral bleaching. Fishing and land-based pollution have also contributed to the species’ decline.

Developmental milestones are behaviours or physical skills seen in infants and children as they grow. Head control, rolling over, crawling, walking, playing, and talking are some of those milestones. The milestones are different for each age range. The developmental wheel shows the milestones from birth to 3 years. One side tells you what to watch out for at each stage while the other side gives you tips on how you can stimulate your child. The developmental wheel can be purchased for 300 Ksh per piece and is available in English and Kiswahili. The proceeds go towards supporting children with special needs from low income families in our projects. E-mail us at [email protected] if interested.


By Harold McGee Beginning around 1985, a hitherto minor bacterium called Salmonella enteritidis was identified as the culprit in growing numbers of food poisonings in continental Europe, Scandinavia, Great Britain, and North America. Salmonella can cause diarrhea or more serious chronic infection of other body organs. Most of these outbreaks were associated with the consumption of raw or lightly cooked eggs. Further investigation demonstrated that even intact, clean, Grade A eggs can harbor large numbers of salmonella. In the early 1990s, U.S. health authorities estimated that perhaps one egg in 10,000 carried this particularly virulent form of salmonella. Thanks to a variety of preventive measures, the prevalence of contaminated eggs is now much lower—but it’s not zero.


Carbon monoxide alarms Carbon monoxide alarms are designed to monitor rooms for the presence of only carbon monoxide (CO). They are the only effective devices that can detect this dangerous gas. They do not detect any gases other than carbon monoxide. They cannot be used as or substitute for smoke detectors.


The Pulse Sensor is a plug-and-play heart-rate sensor for Arduino. It can be used by students, artists, athletes, makers, and game & mobile developers who want to easily incorporate live heart-rate data into their projects. It essentially combines a simple optical heart rate sensor with amplification and noise cancellation circuitry making it fast and easy to get reliable pulse readings. Simply clip the Pulse Sensor to your earlobe or finger tip and plug it into your 3 or 5 Volt Arduino and you're ready to read heart rate! The 24" cable on the Pulse Sensor is terminated with standard male headers so there's no soldering required. Of course Arduino example code is available as well as a Processing sketch for visualizing heart rate data.


About exams and notes A couple of times my German speaking students have told me, “In the exams, I got a good note in English”. At first I got confused. I wanted to ask, “So who wrote you a note during an exam? What was written on this note?” Then I understood the reason for their confusion. Die Note and note are false friends. The German nouns die Note or die Zensur are translated as the mark or the grade in English, or more generally exam results. The English word note has many different meanings. It can mean a musical symbol, or a short and informal written communication, just like the one above. Another example of false friends is eventuell – eventually. For more tips on false friends check out our future blog entries. We hope you enjoy our blog. If so, please share it on a social media platform of your choice!


The Trees Need Your Help The Spongy moth (Lymantria dispar dispar), formerly known as the Gypsy Moth, is a non-native and invasive insect in Ontario that defoliates forests. Last summer the moth population surged, causing widespread damage. It is back, and doing harm to trees in Champlain Park, including the heritage bur oaks. The City has provided the community environment team with burlap, string and instructions for how you can protect trees on your property and in our public spaces such as the Park. Please contact Daniel Buckles if you want to protect a tree, and make arrangements to pick up the materials. You can also remove the insects on small trees by hand (protect yourself with gloves). For details on installing the burlap see the City website on Spongy Moth. For burlap kits, contact: email@example.com (613-807-8048). The insect looks like this in June through August.

Its two principally occurring isotopes are uranium-235 and uranium-238. Uranium-235 is indispensable to the nuclear industry because it is the only isotope existing in nature, to any appreciable extent, that is fissionable by thermal neutrons. Uranium-238 is also important because it absorbs neutrons to produce a radioactive isotope that subsequently decays to the isotope plutonium-239, which also is fissionable by thermal neutrons.


What is the Meaning of Self-Motivation? Above, we explored a basic example of self-motivation, but here’s a succinct definition of the concept: “Self-motivation is, in its simplest form, the force that drives you to do things” (Skills You Need, n.d.). It’s the drive you have to work toward your goals, to put effort into self-development, and to achieve personal fulfillment. It’s important to note here that self-motivation is generally driven by intrinsic motivation, a kind of motivation that comes from sincerely wanting to achieve and desiring...


In 1802, Napoleon Bonaparte prepares to seize power in Paris, but first, he plans to re-assert France’s authority over Saint-Domingue against Toussaint Louverture, and in Guadeloupe against the “Provisional Council” set up by Magliore Pélage, who was elected after Governor Lacrosse was sent back by the island’s inhabitants. Bonaparte decides to send an army, commanded by young General Antoine Richepance. From the moment he arrives and makes his first move, Colonel Louis Delgres, commander of the troops in Basse Terre, understands that this expedition has been mandated to impose “new” politics by force. This policy can only be a return to slavery. Led by Delgrès, a formidable popular movement goes into action. This marks the beginning of “1802, the saga of Guadeloupe”.

From Oracle FAQ ACID refers to the basic properties of a database transaction: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. All Oracle database, Oracle RDB and InnoDB transactions comply with these properties. However, Oracle's Berkeley DB database is not ACID-compliant. The entire sequence of actions must be either completed or aborted. The transaction cannot be partially successful. The transaction takes the resources from one consistent state to another. A transaction's effect is not visible to other transactions until the transaction is committed. Changes made by the committed transaction are permanent and must survive system failure. |Glossary of Terms|

Research into the biology of bone, ligament, and tendon healing has led to the development of a variety of products designed to help stimulate biologic factors and promote healing. The use of the autologous and recombinant products is a rapidly growing field of orthopaedics focusing on manipulating growth factors and secretory proteins to maximize the healing of bone and soft tissues. Despite their clinical use, many of these products have not been studied using rigorous scientific standards. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an example of one such autologous product that has been utilized and studied since the 1970s. Platelet-rich plasma has been used clinically in humans for its healing properties attributed to the increased concentrations of autologous growth factors and secretory proteins that may enhance the healing process on a cellular level.

Satan was initially created as good, not evil. GOD created the heavens and the earth. In the Bible, the phrase "the heavens" includes living heavenly beings. This means that, in the beginning, GOD created the living beings who dwell (or dwelt) in the heavens. Satan was one of these heavenly beings and, thus, was created when the rest of "the heavens" were made. At the end of the six-day creation week, GOD pronounced that everything was "very good." This means that Satan was initially created as good. And that implies that GOD is not the creator of evil. Jesus affirmed this: 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44 NIV)

How is concussion treated? - Constant monitoring of the athlete post-injury, especially within the first 24 to 72 hours. - Rest from work, school, normal social activities and sport so as to allow sufficient time for a full recovery. - Preventing a second impact or injury by avoiding any activities that may jerk or impact the head. - Avoiding certain medications, alcohol and drugs. - The most effective way of treating concussion is to manage the injury properly as soon as it occurs. - If an athlete’s condition quickly deteriorates, immediate hospital transfer is required.


Why would a state prevent boys and girls from dancing together? It’s one of those cases of perverse incentives in law. Title IX is a federal statute requiring schools to offer both sexes equal access to educational opportunities. In order to demonstrate compliance, states want to get as many girls in sports as boys, but some popular sports like football are male-dominated and have no female equivalent. So, in the case of South Dakota, the state decided that dance would be exclusively a girls sport — boys would not be allowed to dance. The libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation fought that rule on behalf of Freddie Linden, a talented boy who was shut out of his school’s dance team. They won.


ISO 12100:2010 specifies basic terminology, principles and a methodology for achieving safety in the design of machinery. It specifies principles of risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers in achieving this objective. These principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and risks associated with machinery. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of the machine life cycle, and for the elimination of hazards or sufficient risk reduction. Guidance is given on the documentation and verification of the risk assessment and risk reduction process.ISO 12100:2010 is also intended to be used as a basis for the preparation of type-B or type-C safety standards.

Why, in reactions involving neutrons, they can get inside the atomic nucleus, practically without kinetic energy? October 25, 2020 | Education| Neutrons do not have an electric charge, therefore the Coulomb repulsive force does not act on them. Remember: The process of learning a person lasts a lifetime. The value of the same knowledge for different people may be different, it is determined by their individual characteristics and needs. Therefore, knowledge is always needed at any age and position.


CLT is a universal building material for walls, ceilings and floors. Structural and load-bearing capabilities of the product make the material universal in the design and subsequent implementation of the project. As an element with high static properties, the material can absorb and safely distribute excessive vertical pressure. Therefore, CLT has high bearing capacity that allows to build even high-rise buildings. At the same time, solid wood houses do not carry the internal load and are 30% lighter than steel and concrete structures. The Ledinek and Hundegger lines installed at the Rezult House plant can produce panels up to 18 meters long, 3.5 meters wide and up to 300 mm thick.

A surcharge is an extra charge added to the cost of a good or service. It is added to an existing tax but not included in the stated price of the good or service. In the context of Income-tax, it may be called a tax on tax because it is levied on tax payable and not the income generated. It is an additional charge payable on income tax, added tax for the taxpayers who have a higher income in a financial year. There is also a facility of marginal relief for individuals, firms, and companies to save them from the surcharge. In terms of payment systems, a surcharge is also known as a checkout fee. It is an extra fee charged by a merchant when receiving payment by cheque, credit card, charge card, or debit card. The amount is such that it covers the cost to the merchant of accepting that means of payment, such as the merchant service fee imposed by a credit card company or bank.

Turboprop cargo aircraft Transall 160 – Armstrong Whitworth Argosy – Lockheed L-100 The turboprop engine is a variation on the jet engine in which the thrust generated by the gas turbine is converted into power that drives a propeller. It is an efficient power plant at speeds below about 725km hour and has several advantages over turbojet and piston engines. It has a good power to weight ratio, uses readily available jet fuel and the thrust of the propellers can be used for short take off and landing in reverse pitch. These features make turboprop engines very attractive for use in military cargo aircraft and the three we are looking at today are all civil versions of military cargo aircraft.


The first American bridge patent was issued on January 21, 1797 for a covered bridge. It was important to cover and completely board up the sides so that animals would think they were approaching a barn and would not be frightened by the water. In the winter, snow was layered inside the bridge so sleighs could cross. Taylor had many creeks and streams that made covered bridges necessary for transportation in the days before it was a city. The covered bridge in Heritage Park is connected to the popular walking path near Coan Lake. It is a popular spot for fishermen and photography.

This section illustrates you how to capture the text in a group through the regular expression. Here, you can learn the procedure of capturing text made by the given alphabets (mentioned in the code of the program "a", "b" and "c") from the group of text. In this section, you will capture the text which is completely made by alphabet a, b and c. For example, if you input the text "sdabcdsjfs" then it display the "abc", "ab", "a" and "b" in the console output because the regular expression mentioned in the code detects the first occurrence of the matching word made by alphabet "a", "b" and "c". The mentioned regular expression matches the word in sequence like "(a(b*))+(c*)" then "(a(b*))+" then "a" and "b". Here is the code of the program: Recommend the tutorial Ask Questions?

Early Head Start programs can select alternative service options to meet children’s needs. Programs decide which options to offer children and their families after completing an intensive community assessment of family needs. Programs reassess community needs every 3 years and may change available options accordingly. For example, one program that began offering home-based services added a center-based option because some families needed child care. Theories of change and outcomes found in different program models were studied in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project (Administration for Children and Families [ACF], 2002a; ACF, 2002b). The findings suggest ways program models can be improved and questions to raise when programs evaluate which options best fit their families’ needs.

But the rare and spectacular Elegant Trogon is also found here. A native of Mexico and Central America, it breeds in the United States only in a few of Arizona’s southern canyons. Pairs of trogons set up housekeeping each summer in Ramsey and other canyons. They are surprisingly inconspicuous, as they perch quietly. They nest in natural cavities or old woodpecker nests, mostly in the beautiful white-barked sycamore trees that line the canyons.


Radish in hydroponic culture system chuck at spectrumanalytic.com Thu Jun 8 07:51:08 EST 2000 In my mind, clay pellets(depending on the type of clay). could reduce the number of exchangable cations available to the plants. Perhaps a coarse sand gravel mixture would be better. Whatever the nutrient is causing the shortage, it is mobile in the plant (translocates). I think the deficiency is Mg but there is a better way to discover the shortage. If you decide to re-run the experiment I would suggest you harvest ALL of the foliage (no roots) and have it analyzed to determine which nutrient(s) is/are deficient. Also, find out what the pH of the effluent of the container is. It should be in the range of 6.0 to 6.7 to optimize nutrient Incidentally, when leaf show any visible sign of deficiency the Ps rate of that leaf is for all practical purposes, zero.

As communities across the country become increasingly vulnerable to severe weather events, the Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently launched a comprehensive initiative to build a “Weather-ready” nation to make America safer by saving more lives and protecting livelihoods during such events as tornado outbreaks, intense heat waves, flooding, active hurricane seasons, and solar storms that threaten electrical and communication systems. NOAA also announced that 2011 tied the 2008 record for billion-dollar disasters in the United States so far experiencing nine separate disasters, each with an economic loss of $1 billion or more. The latest event to surpass the $1 billion price tag is this summer’s flooding along the Missouri and Souris rivers in the upper Midwest. This year’s losses have so far amounted to more than $35 billion. Release

• A full-term normal neonate had acute staphylococcal endocarditis. Serial echocardiograms demonstrated abnormal echos in the region of the posterior mitral valve leaflet and aortic outflow tract that were subsequently proved to be a bacterial vegetation. This represents, we believe, the first case reported of the echocardiographic diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis in a neonate. There was progressive functional impairment of the mitral valve despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. At necropsy, a 1-cm vegetation was found attached to, and eroding through, the posterior mitral valve leaflet. The remainder of the heart, including the mitral valve apparatus, was normal. Endocarditis is a rare, but devastating, disease in a neonate, and the echocardiogram is a safe noninvasive method of making an accurate diagnosis and following the course of the disease.

Stuttering is a problem affecting an estimated 3 million Americans. Most people begin stuttering when they are only children. Children can begin to stutter at ages of three to fiveyears old. For many people, stuttering can be a very short-lived thing. They will often stutter as they begin to develop their language skills. Most will just grow out of it after a short period of time and stop stuttering. An estimated five to seven percent of children will stutter when they are developing their language skills. Only 1% or less of adults however struggle with stuttering. Continue reading


Aviation Investigation Report A98H0003 1.12.12 Aircraft Attitude and Airspeed at the Time of Impact The location of the debris field in relationship to the last primary radar return shows the aircraft was in a right turn prior to the time of impact. The debris field was relatively compact and supports a relatively steep water entry. The standby attitude display showed the aircraft to be at 20 degrees nose down and 110 degrees right bank at the time of impact. The dial face on the airspeed indicator had marks, made at the time of impact, that correspond to an airspeed of 300 knots. The structural damage indicates that the aircraft had a nose-down attitude of about 20 degrees, and a right bank in excess of 60 degrees. Analysis of the markings on various wreckage pieces indicated that the impact force was from 15 degrees right of the aircraft centreline. - Date modified : - Date modified:


The farming a species in sea (marine) water. The cultivation of marine organisms. The culture of marine organisms. Fish farming or aquaculture of marine animals or plants. Growing sea-plants and animals in their natural environment in the sea or on land-based sea farms. The raising of marine finfish or shellfish under some controls. Ponds, pens, tanks, or other containers may be used, and feed is often used. A hatchery is also mariculture but the fish are released before harvest size is reached. Controlled cultivation of marine organisms in tanks, ponds, cages, rafts, or other structures.


Native Americans from the Umatilla Indian Reservation get ready for their annual salmon ceremony in Pendleton, Oregon. When the Dalles Dam was built on the Columbia in 1957, nearby Celilo Falls flooded, wiping out a way of life that had existed for thousands of years. In the spring and summer, native people would travel from all over the region to fish from scaffolds built above the falls. They cleaned and smoked the salmon, which provided them enough food for an entire winter. Festivals were held each spring to honor the first salmon caught and to give thanks to the Salmon King, said to live in the Pacific. Despite the disappearance of Celilo Falls, the salmon continue to play a central role in local Native American culture. —Photographer Ami Vitale Subscribe now and save!


There are many possible reasons why the United States is not on this list. It may not have been one of the countries selected by the surveyors. Also, the United States may not collect information on citizens’ weights and heights, without which it would be impossible to calculate their BMI. Another possibility is that the survey relied on self-reporting and that people intentionally or unintentionally underestimated their weight. Estimates of the number of American adults who are overweight range up to two-thirds and as many as one-third may be obese (defined as having more than 30 per cent of body weight as fat). According to the mortality statistics, obesity killed 2,989 Americans in the year 2000, more than the number in the next eight highest countries combined.


Ergonomical Braille Keyboards A Braille keyboard allows blind users to enter text very efficiently. It consists out of eight keys to enter Braille characters and a thumb key for the use as a space key. A Braille character is written by pressing a combination of those eight keys. The keys on a Handy Tech device are positioned as to allow entering text in a relaxed hand position. The orientation of the keys points inwards to match the natural position of a hand, rested palms down on a table. The keys are positioned on the keyboard as to compensate the difference in length of the fingers on one hand. The keys’ elongated shape makes it fit hands of all sizes. The ergonomic Braille keyboard by Handy Tech was designed especially for the use of young students and is protected for Handy Tech by the utility patent 295 16 642.8 "Braille input key board"


Black History month was first recognized in the United States in 1926. Dr. Carter G. Woodson began to document the history of African Americans. In so doing he demonstrated how African Americans were an integral part of American culture, economics and society. The Civil Rights movement that began as an effort to win equality for African Americans became the template for diversity and tolerance for all. Weston High School’s theme for this year's Black History Month is 'Embracing Diversity through Music and the Spoken Word.' On February 24, a school-wide assembly presented High School students and invited guests performing a variety of musical styles and sharing their vision of diversity and acceptance through the spoken word.


Stranded polar bears Photo and caption by Will Rose and Kajsa Sjolander As the Arctic sea ice retreats over 700 miles from the shore in the autumn, bears must either head north or swim south to land as the ice breaks up. Scientists anticipate that the number of bears on shore will increase as sea ice loss continues. While onshore, every autumn the bears feed on the remains of bowhead whales from the traditional Inupiat harvest. Scientists are using DNA samples from hair snares to understand how the animals are faring as climate change reduces the amount of time they can spend on the sea ice hunting their preferred prey, seals. Location: Cross Island, Alaska


Ötzi, the mummified Stone Age man found in an Italian glacier nine years ago, was thawed slightly for a few hours this week so scientists could take samples of bone, teeth and internal organs for DNA analysis. They want to learn more about his health, his diet, and possibly how he died. Research on the 5300-year-old corpse was delayed for years while Italy and Austria fought over ownership. Italy won, and Ötzi is now housed at -6°C in a museum at Bolzano in the Italian Alps. The man's face was reconstructed using computerised tomography, but few internal studies of his organs have been permitted before.

Natural gas is now flowing so fast into U.S. pipelines that the big question seems to be what to do with it all: Engineer cars to run on methanol? Reopen shuttered chemical plants that rely on gas for feedstock? Export liquefied gas by tanker? With about two-thirds of U.S. states thought to hold natural gas reserves, many take President Barack Obama seriously when he calls the United States the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." But just how much natural gas does the United States have? A close look at the assessments shows that even the experts disagree. Most dramatically, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the government's own analytical team, last month slashed in half its estimate for a key and large subset of reserves: the amount of gas in shale rock formations across the country.


Born Naples 1598, Died Rome 1680. He is considered the most outstanding sculptor of the 17th century and a formative influence on the development of the Italian Baroque style. His father Pietro was renowned for his skill in marble cutting. He taught his son, and introduced him to a group of powerful patrons, the Borghese and the Barberini who fostered his creative genius. He became the principal artist in the papal court of Urban VIII. In 1620 he was appointed architect of St Peter’s. His genius found its highest expression in projects in which he combined sculpture, painting and architecture with daring and deep religious conviction to express the spiritual vision of the Catholic Counter-Reformation Church.


There are no translations available. Estonian is the official language of Estonia, spoken by about 1.1 million people in Estonia and tens of thousands in various émigré communities. It is an Uralic language and is closely related to Finnish. One distinctive feature that has caused a great amount of interest in linguists is that Estonian has what is traditionally seen as three degrees of phoneme length: short, long, and "overlong", such that /toto/, /toˑto/ and /toːto/ are distinct. In actuality, the distinction is not purely in the phoneme length, and the underlying phonological mechanism is still disputed.


Carbon Capture & Storage NERC's goal is to quantify the risks and understand the response of marine and terrestrial ecosystems to CO2 leakage. The technology 'push' in this area has revealed gaps in our understanding of the environmental implications of CO2 storage as technologies move from design to implementation.

Trinidad and Tobago The most important exports are petroleum and petroleum products, natural gas, chemicals, steel products, and fertilizer. Trinidad possesses sizable oil and gas reserves, and its prosperity is linked directly to the production of petroleum and petrochemicals. A peaking of petroleum production in the late 1970s and the decline in worldwide petroleum prices in the 1980s caused economic problems. However, increased exploitation of the country's natural gas reserves since the 1990s, as well as rising prices for oil, petrochemicals, and liquified natural gas, have caused an economic boom. The islands also have a significant tourist industry. Agriculture employs a smaller proportion of the population than industry and services; agricultural products include cocoa, rice, coffee, citrus fruit, and flowers. The main trading partners are the United States, Jamaica, and Brazil.

My question about how windows works without fork got pointers to two useful Windows perl modules in the comments: Spawning External Programs (from dagolden) See Win32::Job or just use system(1, $cmd, @args) (from Christian Walde) Use Win32::Detached What I was really wondering about was how reliable software was written without fork. What do I mean by that? What is the difference between? parent fork() do_something_independent() wait_for_childs_response() parent thread() do_something_independent() wait_for_childs_response() If the child thread misbehaves – exits, dumps core, leaks memory, or whatever, that’s bad for the parent. Child processes can’t wreak quite so much havoc. Presumably the solution adopted in Window is don’t do stuff in threads that causes them to accidentally exit [the whole process], dump core or leak memory.

The first American spaceflight was a triumph—for an astronaut and for a nation. - By Tony Reichhardt - AirSpaceMag.com, May 05, 2011 After Freedom 7, much of Shepard's NASA career was spent in frustration. Although he had hoped to fly the first two-man Gemini mission, flight doctors sidelined him due to an inner ear condition, and he was relegated to office jobs. In 1969 he had corrective surgery and returned to flight status. Two years later, at the age of 47, he stood on the moon's surface as commander of the Apollo 14 mission.

Evacuating the coastlines while using a nuclear explosion to deflect an Earthbound comet into the Pacific is only one of the planet-saving methods discussed by David Levy in The Quest for Comets (Oxford University Press, £7.99, ISBN 0 19286181 6). Others include steering it into Earth orbit or warning world leaders how to differentiate between a nuclear strike and a comet impact. Levy half of the amateur team that discovered the Jupiter-striking Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, has written an entertaining book full of his fascination with comets (he has spotted 19 so far). How to discover a comet, and the prospects for comets producing life and extinguishing it are among the goodies in a book which should inspire others to follow his lead.

We have every right and should adapt tales because society changes. But the Grimms would flip over if they were alive today. They were better known during their time as scholarly writers; they were in the pursuit of the essence of story telling. By collecting different versions of every tale they published, they hoped to resuscitate the linguistic cultural tradition that keeps people together—stories that were shared with the common people. —Jack Zipes, fairy tale scholar Read his full interview about fairy tale adaptations with Smithsonian Magazine’s Reel Culture blog [Illustrations: Hansel and Gretel: Kay Rasmus Nielsen / Little Red Riding Hood: Walter Crane]


ENG 310 Studies in Literary Genres | The 19th Century American Short Story (2nd Half) One could argue that the short story form as we know it today was born in the 19th century America. In this course we will read some of the great writers and stories that defined and shaped that form. Authors will include Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, James, Chessnutt, Crane, Wharton, and Chopin. Prerequisite: One English Literature course, taken at Wabash.


Your yard could attract Common Yellowthroats if it is fairly large (yellowthroat territories are sometimes as small as 0.5 acre) and features dense or tangled, low-growing grasses and other vegetation. Find This Bird Common Yellowthroats are easy to find during spring and summer in much of North America. Just visit open habitats such as marshes, wetland edges, and brushy fields. Listen for the male’s wichety-wichety-wichety song, which they sing frequently during summer, and is easy to recognize. Even their call notes are distinctive, so listen for their husky, low chuck coming from the undergrowth. When you hear one calling, look low in bushes and trees for a quick, small bird, olive above and yellow below. If you don’t spot one after a while, try making a “pishing” sound; yellowthroats are inquisitive birds and often pop into the open to see who’s making the sound.

a condition caused by excessive loss of salt and water, usually resulting from overexertion in a hot environment, and characterized by peripheral vascular collapse, dizziness, nausea, low body temperature, clammy skin, etc. See heat exhaustion in American Heritage Dictionary 4 A condition caused by exposure to heat, resulting in the depletion of body fluids and causing weakness, dizziness, nausea, and often collapse. The condition can be alleviated by rest and the administration of fluids and electrolytes to compensate for those lost through excessive sweating. Also called heat prostration.


Every time I snap a chalk line, a huge cloud of chalk forms in the air. Why? Most likely, you are also getting a dull, hard to see line. That’s most likely because the brand of chalk has a lower ratio of color to filler. In order for marking chalk to make a sharp, distinguishable line, there must be a much higher concentration of color. Then, when a chalk line is snapped, more color gets absorbed by the surface, and a truer line can be seen.

In early 20th Century Midwest slang, a “jay” was a “rube”, meaning either an unintelligent person or someone who was inexperienced and naive. When a pedestrian ignored street signs, he was referred to as a ‘jaywalker.’ The idea behind this was that someone from the country who was unfamiliar with urban life (along with cars and traffic) didn’t understand how not to get in the way of traffic. So it used to be that calling someone a jaywalker was akin to calling them a hick or a country bumpkin. When cars were still new, pedestrians had the right of way all the time on the streets; there were no jaywalking laws. Automobile enthusiasts hoped to change that by spreading the term “jaywalking” as a way to shame pedestrians who got in their way when they were driving. 19 Interesting Facts


Farsightedness, also called hyperopia, means that the eye cannot focus on nearby objects. This is because the eye is too short or the cornea is too flat. In some cases of hyperopia, the eye cannot focus on distant objects either. A person has hyperopia when light entering the eye is focused (called the focal point) behind the retina instead of directly on the retina. eMedicineHealth Medical Reference from Healthwise To learn more visit Healthwise.org © 1995-2012 Healthwise, Incorporated.

Naming the Scour Marks Date: 17 Aug 2012 Scientists have now named the four marks near NASA's Curiosity rover where blasts from the descent stage rocket engines blew away some of the Martian surface material. Scientists have named the scour marks, clockwise from the most north: Burnside, Goulburn, Hepburn and Sleepy Dragon. These names were chosen by the science team from a list of rock formations in northern Canada because they all have something to do with heat, for example "burn" or "dragon." This cropped image is part of a larger panorama from Curiosity's Mast Camera (see pia16051).


Friday, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan shook apart homes and buildings, cracked open highways and unnerved even those who have learned to live with swaying skyscrapers. Then came a devastating tsunami that slammed into northeastern Japan and killed hundreds of people. The violent wall of water swept away houses, cars and ships. Fires burned out of control. Power to a cooling system at a nuclear power plant was knocked out, forcing thousands to flee. A boat was caught in the vortex of a whirlpool at sea. The death toll rose steadily throughout the day, but the true extent of the disaster was not known because roads to the worst-hit areas were washed away or blocked by debris and airports were closed.


The original is in sandstone, dated ca. 1490-1492 and is located on the exterior of the apse at the Church of St. Sebaldus, Nuremberg, Germany. Adam Kraft was a leading sculptor of the final phase of the Late Gothic period in Germany. His many works in stone, which range from monumental sculptures for public places to decorative ornaments for private residences, were commissioned primarily by Nuremberg patrons, between 1490 and 1509. When in 1490 Kraft was first mentioned in a Nuremberg document, he was already established as a master with his own workshop. In this year he was commissioned to make an elaborate stone relief to replace a weathered mural on the east choir of St. Sebaldus. This epitaph for the Schreyer and Landauer families, showing extended narrative scenes from the Passion and Resurrection, is replete with anecdotal detail, a hallmark of Krafts work.
