New Chip Harvests Energy Three Ways, Simultaneously We’ve seen a number of different devices that can harvest energy from various sources, but none quite like this new chip developed by a team of MIT researchers. It’s able to harvest energy from three different sources simultaneously: light, heat and vibrations. The key to that is a sophisticated control system that’s able to rapidly switch between the three sources at all times to prevent any of that energy from going to waste (and not draw too much power itself), with energy from the secondary sources stored in capacitors to be picked up later — as opposed to existing systems that simply switch between sources based on what’s most plentiful. (via MIT researchers develop chip that can harvest energy from multiple sources — Engadget)


In this landmark biography of Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, A.N. Wilson narrates the complex drama of the writer's life: his childhood of aristocratic privilege but emotional deprivation, his discovery of his literary genius after aimless years of gambling and womanizing, and his increasingly disastrous marriage. Wilson sweeps away the long held belief that Tolstoy's works were the exact mirror of his life, and instead traces the roots of Tolstoy's art to his relationship with God, with women, and with Russia. He also breaks new ground in recreating the world that shaped the great novelist's life and art the turmoil of ideas and politics in nineteenth century Russia and the incredible literary renaissance that made Tolstoy's work possible. 24 pages of illustrations.


Journal of Neuroscience, Zikopoulos and Barbas A post-mortem investigation measuring features of the different axons traveling beneath the cortical surface. The crux of the study is whether in autism there are changes in axons, "which are the conduit for neural communication." In comparison to control samples, autism brain tissue had fewer large axons connecting regions of the prefrontal cortex to the other areas of cortex. Added to this connection imbalance is a thinner coat of axon insulation, called myelin. These findings may help explain why individuals with autism do not adequately shift attention, engage in repetitive behavior, and avoid social interactions.


As an emerging industry, questions and concerns often arise surrounding proposed and operating wind energy projects. This information is designed to give answers to common concerns and frequently asked questions. Facts and figures from independent sources were used to support the information. Advances in engineering ensure minimal mechanical sound from modern wind turbines. Sound was an issue with some early wind turbine designs, but it has been largely eliminated as a problem through improved engineering and through appropriate use of setbacks from nearby residences. The noise emitted by wind turbines can be mechanical (gearbox or generator) or aerodynamic (air moving through rotor blades). The design of modern wind turbines effectively reduces the mechanical sound through sound proofing, so the aerodynamic sound is what can normally be heard. This sound is sometimes described as a

Computing LiberalismThe political term for the application of the theories of Liberalism to the computing world. It proclaims that only through computing freedom can the computing world achieve power, performance and reliability. The arguments for liberalism have been sufficiently developed since the late seventeenth century, and have proven generic enough (see Cybernetics), so that we do not have to repeat them extensively. We just need to point out that the same arguments apply to the computer market as well as any market. This means people in the computer world, producers as well as consumers, must have access to real information, not advertisement or propaganda, and be free to discuss computer problems and acquire computer education, so that there would be fair competition, which will yield the best possible result, not wild competition that leads to monopolies.

Annotation. The novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe, focuses on a slave named Uncle Tom to weave a portrayal of the cruelty of slavery, finding redemption in the idea that Christian love can conquer something so destructive. It turned out to be the bestselling novel of the nineteenth century, helping to further the abolitionist cause after publication in 1852. At the start of the American Civil War Abraham Lincoln met Stowe and is said to have declared "So this is the little lady who made this big war." The novel had a major effect on people's attitudes towards slavery at the time.


- Posted September 13, 2012 by This iReport is part of an assignment: Volcán de Fuego Antigua Guatemala Fuego's Volcano Eruption Today’s eruption appears to be more serious than the May/2012 eruption and fears are that the eruption is growing, so Guatemalan officials have begun evacuating people living on the western slope of the volcano as a precaution. Antigua Guatemala’s volcanic neighbors include Agua and Acatenango (both dormant) and Fuego which is famous for being almost constantly active at a low level. Fuego’s May eruption was an extraordinary event in which Fuego violently spewed lava, rock and ash - just as it is doing right now as I write this! Only time will tell how serious this eruption will be, but perhaps Fuego’s past eruptions will give us a clue. Following are a few things - both interesting and disturbing – that I discovered about our volcanic neighbor:


- Historic Sites The construction of the fort was over-seen by Ira Hinckley. The fort provided safety, shelter, water and livestock feed for people traveling between the two communities. The fort is square and is constructed of black volcanic rock and limestone that was quarried from the nearby mountains. The walls are eighteen feet high and four feet thick. There are two very large wooden doors at the east and west side of the fort. Gun ports are also located throughout the fort for protection from possible attacks, however the tour guide stated that the fort was never attacked during the time of its use for more than 20 years.


Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO) Biomass is the organic matter produced by plants. The solar energy trapped by these plants can be converted to electricity or fuel. As with many other renewable energy sources, biomass is capable of simultaneously addressing the nation's energy, environmental, and economic needs. Increased use of biomass for energy would lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, reduced dependence on foreign oil, an improved U.S. balance of trade, an improved rural economy, and the creation of a major new American industry. The use of biomass energy provides a multitude of environmental benefits. It can help mitigate climate change; reduce acid rain; prevent soil erosion and water pollution; minimize pressure on landfills; provide wildlife habitat; and, help maintain forest health through better management.

The Glorious Revolution was an event in the history of England in 1688. The people of England did not like the king, King James II because he would not let them vote or worship God in the way they wanted to. They invited William III of Orange-Nassau to take over as king. William was King James II's nephew and Mary's first cousin. He came to England with his wife Queen Mary, the daughter of King James II. They let the old king escape, so he moved to France out of fear. [change] Immediate Effect (What happened as a result of The Glorious Revolution)


I was wondering... Surely, the trigonometrical functions began as mere observations about the proportions between the sides of right angled triangles. Probably people were just drawing triangles in the sand, measured the sides and dividing, noticing that similar angles gave similar quotients. Now, how did we get to were we are today? I know you can approximate a trig. func. by its Taylor expansion, but in order to do this you first have to know the value of the function in a certain point and the value of it's derivatives.... How do know this? I hope my question isn't to vague...

|| Email | Full Article (TrendHunter.com/id/9829)| Most orthopedic implants, like hip and knee joint replacements, last from ten to 15 years, which means that many patients require several replacement surgeries in their lifetimes. Scientists at Brown University hope to change that; they have started working on superior implants that may be easier to monitor and will integrate better with surrounding body cells. The surface of an orthopedic implant is specially treated to sprout carbon nano. Researchers have found that this titanium grows bone cells faster and stronger than regular titanium does, so they’re working to engineer orthopedic implants that can detect bone growth. There is no doubt that technology gets better every day, making life easier for millions of people; but what about the hight cost of living? Can’t nano tech come with a nano price?

James VI and I's only daughter was named after her god-mother, Queen Elizabeth I of England. She married a German prince, Frederick V, the Elector Palatine. In October 1619 the Protestants of Bohemia chose him as their king. From the start, their enemies called them the Winter King and Queen, correctly predicting that their rule would be short-lived. Surrounded by hostile Catholic neighbours, Frederick was defeated at the Battle of the White Mountain in November 1620 and the couple fled from Prague. This portrait was painted in The Hague, where Frederick and Elizabeth lived in exile.


If just one solar panel in a rooftop array falls under shade, the performance of all of the panels typically drops. That’s because an array’s electrical voltage and current are usually set at just one point: the inverter that changes direct current to alternating current. The settings the inverter can choose are determined by the worst-performing solar panel. National Semiconductor of Santa Clara, CA, has developed power management circuitry that adjusts the voltage on each panel to match its power output. Field tests show that the gadget can reduce losses from unshaded panels by 57 percent. Courtesy of National Semiconductor Product: Solar Magic Company: National Semiconductor


Roll-Cutting (Or Oblique Cutting) Here is another knife technique made simple. This is perhaps the most Chinese in origin. Roll-cutting is used for long vegetables, such as Asian eggplant, carrots, and zucchini. It makes attractive chunks and exposes more of the surface area of the vegetable for faster cooking. Hold the blade of the knife perpendicular to the board and cut straight down on the diagonal. Then roll the vegetable a quarter-turn, and cut straight down again at the same diagonal angle. Continue rolling and cutting in this way all along the length of the vegetable.


190.Standard fruit trees in Holland and the Netherlands are very generally trained in what is called the en quenouille or distaff manner; and the advantages of this mode, as respects the saving of room, and the avoiding injurious shade to the vegetables near, are obvious. It is not, however, equally clear that this form is favourable to the production of fruit. A horticulturist (Gard. Mag., vol. ii. p. 226.), who has resided for some time in Belgium, says a fair crop is very seldom seen on trees so trained. The same observation will apply to standard pear trees trained en pyramide; which mode of training differs from the en quenouille mode only in not having the points of the young shoots tied down by cords attached to their extremities and fastened to the stem of the tree. Pear trees trained en pyramide, however, when grafted on quince stocks, generally bear well.


Harvard University researchers have bioengineered an artificial jellyfish using a sheet of silicone polymer and rat heart cells. The constructs, termed ‘medusoids’, were designed with computer simulations and experiments to match key determinants of jellyfish propulsion and feeding performance by quantitatively mimicking structural design, stroke kinematics, and animal-fluid interactions. The combination of the engineering design algorithm with quantitative benchmarks of physiological performance suggests that our strategy is broadly applicable to reverse engineering of muscular organs or simple life forms that pump to survive. “Morphologically, we’ve built a jellyfish,” Kit Parker, a Harvard biophysicist who led the research told Nature. “Functionally, we’ve built a jellyfish. Genetically, this thing is a rat.”

These days, most people's concept of wassailing is taken from the song "Here We Come A-Wassaling," and accordingly, it's seen as nothing more than an antiquated term for caroling. But like Krampus, wassailing has its roots in pre-Christian Europe, and was originally a way for peasants to get money from their feudal lords in exchange for the blessings of their However, the most important part of wassaling is, of course, the wassail. With a base of cider, wine, beer or mead, and mulled with spices, fruits all sorts of other goodness, wassail is a hot beverage perfect for keeping yourself warm as you go stomping around in the cold, trying to sing songs you don't really remember. Wassailing is basically just C.U.I. (caroling under the influence, natch).


mulch, any material, usually organic, that is spread on the ground to protect the soil and the roots of plants from the effects of soil crusting, erosion, or freezing; it is also used to retard the growth of weeds. A mulch may be made of materials such as straw, sawdust, grass clippings, peat moss, leaves, or paper. For large areas under cultivation a tilled layer of soil serves the purpose of a mulch.

From its discovery by Marie Curie, radium was treated as some sort of wonder element. Capable of preventing disease, being used by quacks and doctors alike, it had thousands of uses. All that was to change by the 1920s. As radiation poisoning was being studied seriously, the deadly effects of radium were known and the wonder element was beginning to be feared. What of the legacy today? There are over 500 sites in the UK alone where radium was used or produced, all contaminated in some way. Some of these sites have been re-developed with no regard for the danger they pose or in ignorance of their past. On at least one heavily contaminated site, a housing project has been built.

Cancer is located in only 1 area (but in none of the areas in Stage I), is greater than 2 inches (5 cm) in size, and may have spread to the lymph nodes found near the cancer. Cancer has spread and is found in more than 1 place at the time of diagnosis. The cancer has come back after it has been treated. It may come back in the area where it first started or in another part of the body.


Spooky Science So why is dry ice called dry ice? Dry ice is the "frozen" form of the gas, carbon dioxide. While it may be called ice - it never melts - it goes right from being a solid to being a gas. This is called SUBLIMATION. When I put the quarter on the dry ice, it cause it to turn into a gas very quickly. As the gas escaped around the sides of the quarter, it caused it to vibrate quickly and make that cool screaming sound.

( A Great Great Grandfather that vkn is researching) Horace King was one of the most famous free blacks in Alabama. A slave of South Carolina bridge contractor John Godwin, King supervised the construction of dozens of bridges in Alabama before and after he was manumitted by his owner with the approval of the Alabama legislature in 1846. While it was known that King worked on the Alabama capitol during construction in 1850-51, his responsibilities were not specified; however, he probably built the curving stairs. Restoration of the building in the late 1980s revealed that the bracing design that undergirded the stairs and connected them to the wall without any visible support was exactly the method King used to construct his bridges.

Julia Pardoe, was an English poet, novelist, historian and traveller. She was born at Beverley, Yorkshire, and showed an early interest in literature. She became a prolific and versatile writer, producing in addition to her lively and well-written novels many books on travel, and others dealing with historical subjects. She was a keen observer, and her travel to the East gave her an accurate and deep knowledge of the peoples and manners of the East. To modern readers she is probably best known for her books on her travels in Turkey, which are some of the earliest works by a woman on this area. In 1836 she travelled to Constantinople with her father, Major Thomas Pardoe. This voyage inspired her book The City of the Sultan. Later she collaborated with the artist William Henry Bartlett to produce The Beauties of the Bosphorus, an illustrated account of Constantinople.

There are so many tornados and floods this year because we were in a strong La Nina cycle this past winter. Historical statistics tells us that, during the spring following a strong La Nina cycle winter, there tends to be more severe storms, and of greater intensity in the eastern US. There also tends to be large tornado outbreaks. Other known examples of this would be the Super Outbreak of 1974, and the March 2006 outbreak. What is happening this year is not without precedent. It has happened before, and it will happen in the future.


The capacitor stores electricity much like a battery but can be charged and discharged much quicker. On microwaves the capacitor stores very high voltage and can be dangerous. When you unplug the microwave the capacitor should discharge itself but if it doesn’t you could get shocked by the high voltage. At the bottom of that page right after step #13 you will see a picture of the capacitor if you short the leads of the capacitor to ground with an insulated screwdriver or insulated wire you will know the capacitor is discharged. Note that I have been working on microwaves for over 15 years and have never seen one have voltage on it with the microwave unplugged but I know it is possible and you should be aware of the possibility.

A superconductor is a special type of material that conducts electricity without resistance. That means that electrons (tiny particles with negative charge) can flow very easily through the material. This can be achieved only at very low temperatures. The temperature at which a material becomes superconducting varies from material to material. Not all materials are superconductors. Another property of superconductors is the Flux Trapping Effect, which can cause a rare earth magnet to float above a cooled superconductor.

Balboa Discovers the Pacific Ocean On this day in 1513, Vasco Núñez de Balboa became the first European to lay eyes on the Pacific Ocean. Balbao first saw the Pacific from the top of a mountain range in present-day Panama. A few days later, upon arriving at its shoreline, Balboa walked knee-deep into the salty water and claimed possession of the world’s largest ocean in the name of the Spanish sovereigns. Balboa’s legacy lives on today, most notably in the name of Panama City’s main port, Balboa, the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal.

), O.E. -ol, -ul, -el; and -ing, suffix indicating "person or thing of a specific kind or origin; in masc. nouns also "son of" (cf. farthing , O.E. 'horing "adulterer, fornicator"). Both these suffixes had occasional dim. force, but this was only slightly evident in O.E. -ling and its equivalents in Gmc. languages except O.N., where it commonly was used as a diminutive suffix, especially in words designating the young of animals (e.g. gæslingr "gosling"). Thus it is possible that the diminutive use that developed in Middle English is from Old Norse.


Crossing signs are used to identify locations where the historic trail route crossed an existing road or highway. They help raise public awareness of the historic location of the trail. Ideally, these signs are used where evidence of the trail is still visible, but they may also be used where the trail is no longer visible. These signs can be used on almost all speeds and classes of roads, although you probably won't want to use them on high speed and interstate highways. Did You Know? After the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, the United States acquired almost half of Mexico's lands, including New Mexico. Trade and military freighting on the historic Santa Fe Trail boomed, with both firms and individuals obtaining and subcontracting lucrative government contracts.


Under contract law, a misunderstanding is an objective ambiguity where two parties to a contract are subjectively thinking of two different things. This can be used by a party to a contract as a defense against the formation of a contract. Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary A mistake by both parties to a contract resulting in a failure of meeting of the minds. A misunderstanding between spouses at the time of marriage can serve as grounds for an annulment. For example, if one spouse went into the marriage wanting children while the other did not, they have a misunderstanding that might be judged serious enough for a court to annul the marriage.

An Illustrated Guide to the World’s Creation Myths Each culture has its own version of how the universe began. Artist Noah MacMillan brings this “visual vocabulary” to life - By Leah Binkovitz - Smithsonian magazine, February 2013 Though some of the stories were quite literal, MacMillan says he approached others more abstractly, as was the case with Hinduism's origin tales. "It's trying to boil a sometimes much longer and more complex story down to one image and so it's not as much the whole narrative as just the mood that I was able to extract from it." The lotus bloom that birthed both Lord Brahma and all creation emerges between the hands of Lord Vishnu, surrounded by the heavens.


Indians fought against the U.S., but they also show great loyalty to the nation. The other insight is that genuine patriotism can still take place amid divided loyalties. Americans are capable of more nuanced thinking about what it means to be an American than we usually give ourselves credit for. Non-Indians who attend celebrations like the Little Bighorn anniversary are often surprised by the exhibitions of U.S. patriotism. But for more than a century, American Indians on the Plains have understood that their love of country can contain both their struggles to achieve tribal autonomy and their deeply felt attachments to the United States. That is the kind of patriotism that was born at the Little Bighorn battlefield, and the kind that American Indian soldiers now take with them to Afghanistan and Iraq. It is the kind of patriotism that is too big to fit on a lapel pin.


Part of narrative skills is being able to describe things. For example, when you talk about the colors and shapes and textures of your child’s clothing, or what kinds of things your child’s toys do, it gives your child new words. Embellishing your descriptions of events of the day may help children recall an experience and the words associated with it. Researchers say participating in these activities will make it easier for your child when it comes time for formal reading instruction. –Tip by Jan P., Preschool/Childcare Liaison


Sino-Japanese War, Second Following the Manchurian Incident (Sept., 1931), the Japanese Kwantung army occupied Manchuria and established the puppet state of Manchukuo (Feb., 1932). Japan pressed China to recognize the independence of Manchukuo, suppress anti-Japanese activities, and form autonomous regional governments in N China. The Japanese were partially successful in 1933 and 1935 when they forced China to form two demilitarized autonomous zones bordering Manchuria. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has a relatively high water content, typically formed by the hydration of obsidian. It occurs naturally and has the unusual property of greatly expanding when heated sufficiently. Due to its low density and relatively low price, many commercial applications for perlite have developed. In the construction and manufacturing fields, it is used in lightweight plasters and mortars, insulation, ceiling tiles and filter aids. In horticulture it makes composts more open to air, while still having good water-retention properties; it makes a good medium for hydroponics. Perlite is also used in foundries, cryogenic insulations, as a lightweight aggregate in mortar (firestop) and in ceramics as a clay additive. In 2005, Greece was the top producer of perlite with at least one-third world share followed by China, USA, Japan and Turkey.


Tone Development for Flute by Emil Eck. For Flute. Method/Instruction; Woodwind - Flute Method or Collection. Book. 32 pages. Published by Alfred Music Publishing (AP.EL00796). The attainment of a clear, radiant and beautiful tone is probably the most cherished aim of every flute student.

With this object in mind, the author has prepared this volume of studies; short, melodious, and rhythmically as varied as possible considering the grade of the student.


Young people need faith. There is abundant evidence that children benefit from the moral compass provided by religious tradition. We acknowledge that faith can become an important part of a child's identity. Each of the major faiths breeds hope, optimism, compassion, and a belief in a better tomorrow. Scouting encourages each young person to begin a spiritual journey through the practice of his or her faith tradition. One of the key tenets of Scouting is "duty to God". While Scouting does not define religious belief for its members, it has been adopted by and works with youth programs of all major faiths.

President John F. Kennedy said: “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.” This quote embodies the true spirit of learning, in that we should be acquiring knowledge for the betterment of society and not the propagation of self. In America, our current approach to education is in total contrast to this idea, as we have become a society that has yielded to promoting individual aspirations in the acquisition of knowledge. This trend has served to weaken our society and will ultimately lead to our demise if not corrected. To begin addressing any problem, one must recognize its root. The core of this crisis lies in the prevalent ideas that govern our society namely Materialism and Capitalism.

Space shuttle Discovery's final voyage The space shuttle Discovery has taken off on its last flight when it was carried on top of a jumbo jet to a museum near Washington DC. It was bolted onto a modified jet for the flight from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to the Smithsonian Institution at Dulles International Airport. The Discovery was first launched in 1984, and flew thirty-nine times in space, more than any other shuttle. The United States closed its space shuttle programme last year. The BBC's Anita McVeigh and Matthew Amroliwala described the take off as spectacular and memorable.

A spacesuit is an article of protective clothing worn by astronauts when they travel into outer space or into the upper atmosphere. Spacesuits are completely sealed, so that an astronaut can survive in the harsh, cold, and airless environment of space. Spacesuits have their own heating and cooling systems and a radio communication system. Spacesuits also provide a supply of fresh air for the astronauts to breathe and create a normal atmospheric pressure. Spacesuits cover the entire body, and they have gloves for the hands and a helmet for the head, including a clear visor for the face. Astronauts wear spacesuits when they fly in the space shuttle, rockets, or space stations.

The snowdrop is a woodland bulb, and is happiest in moist, lightly shaded situations. The bulbs grow in tight masses, and, where happy, will naturalize and spread over large areas, covering considerable ground. Several small colonies have been established under the quince trees in Bonnefont Cloister and will be left to spread undisturbed. The thick, tough tips of the leaves help the snowdrop to push up through the soil and snow, while protecting the flower heads. Maude Grieve compares the leaf tip to “a delicate nail on a green finger.” The buds are held erect when the perce-neige emerges from the ground, but the open flowers will hang their heads downward.

Scientists say a newly discovered asteroid will whiz harmlessly past Earth on Wednesday, the second close encounter in a month. The small space rock dubbed 2009 FH will fly within 49,000 miles of the Earth's surface at 5:17 a.m. Pacific. Don Yeomans, who heads NASA's Near-Earth Object Program, says there's no chance of an impact. The asteroid, measuring 43 feet and 95 feet across, was spotted Monday night by the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona. An asteroid this size usually comes this close to Earth every few months. Wednesday's flyby will be farther away than another asteroid close call earlier this month. That asteroid about the size of one that blasted Siberia a century ago came within 41,000 miles of Earth.

Meditation must begin with lulling the physical senses into quiescence. We cannot begin to put the mind at ease unless we have earlier put the body at ease; and we cannot make the intellect inactive unless we have earlier made the senses inactive. The first reward and sign of success, marking the close of the first stage, is a feeling of lightness in the body, of numbness in the legs and hands, of having no weight and being as light as air. This shows a successful detachment from the thought of the body. After this, the second stage opens, wherein a deep intense half-trancelike absorption in the mind itself is to be achieved, and wherein the body is utterly forgotten. -- Notebooks Category 4: Elementary Meditation > Chapter 1: Preparatory > # 232


Q: Our subdivision got hit by the tornado a few weeks ago. It did considerable damage to the small trees in our yard. What are the chances that they’ll survive and stay healthy if we straighten them up and secure them in an upright position? A: If they are leaning because the trunks were bent, you can stake them upright for a couple of years. But if their root systems are half-way out of the ground, you ‘ll need to excavate under the roots to allow each tree to settle back down so the trunk is in a vertical position. These will also need to be staked for a couple of years until anchor roots can regrow. Tags For This Article: trees


are skin tests for allergy? Using diluted extracts from specific allergens, the physician will prick, scratch, or inject the skin of the allergic person to determine the level of IgE antibodies. When the test is positive, a small red, raised area, called a wheal, will appear. The reddened area around the wheal is called a flare. The physician uses the information from the skin test to find the most appropriate treatment for each patient.


A SO-DIMM is about half the length of a regular size DIMM. This allows greater flexibility in designing the memory slots for laptops. Many laptops have a user-accessible section that houses the SO-DIMMs, which make it easy to upgrade the computer's RAM. If the RAM chips were full size DIMMs, this type of design would be harder to incorporate and would likely increase the size of the laptop. The first SO-DIMMs used 72 pins (or connectors) and supported 32-bit data transfers. Modern SO-DIMMs, however, typically use 144 pins, which allows for the same 64-bit transfers that a regular size DIMM does. While SO-DIMMs are used primarily in laptops, some desktop computers with small form factors also use SO-DIMMs to reduce the overall size of the case. However, when size is not an issue, regular DIMMs are typically used because they are a more cost-effective solution.

Palestrina served as organist and singer from 1544 in the city of Palestrina; he had begun his career as a boy chorister in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, a city to which he returned in 1551 to assume the post of Maestro of the Chapel Giulia at St. Peter's. Palestrina was a member of the Cappella Sistina but was required to drop out when he married in 1555. That same year he became Maestro di cappella at the church of St. John Lateran, and the following year he became director of concerts at Cardinal Ippolito's villa. Palestrina composed 105 Masses, more than 250 motets, Magnificats, other sacred music, and some secular madrigals. Bach is known to have arranged one of Palestrina's Missa sine nomine for voices and instruments.


Since the overthrow of the Siam monarchy in 1932, the Thai military has dominated Thailand's unstable government. On October 14, 1973, more than one hundred students protesting military rule at Thammasat University were killed by government forces, resulting in the appointment of a prime minister and a brief period of parliamentary democracy. In October 1976, the military forcefully regained control of the government, polarizing the country politically and strengthening the Thai democratic movement which protested elitist military rule, U.S. government and military involvement in Thailand, and human rights violations.

Almost from the moment the royal Son was born, the royal houses of Brantee and Pooqla began fighting over matters of succession. As the year of royal mufting progressed, the peace became increasingly fragile, and it looked as if war would break out in earnest the moment the boy emerged from Nog's pouch. To everyone's surprise, triplets emerged instead -- a son, a daughter, and a mufter: the Triplets of Saint Nog. Despite the fact that the most rational explanation of the event was that Nog had snuck another couple of infants in with the royal boy, the event was hailed as a miracle, and the ensuing 76-year peace resulted in the birth of the Empire of Brantee-Pooqla. The Brantee-Pooqlans then waged war across an entire continent, dragging their neighbors kicking and screaming into a golden age of commerce, art, and lots of taxes.


Myelin is an insulating layer that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. The purpose of the myelin sheath is to allow rapid and efficient transmission of impulses along the nerve cells. If the myelin is damaged, the impulses are disrupted. This can cause diseases like multiple sclerosis. Reviewed By: Joseph V. Campellone, M.D., Division of Neurology, Cooper University Hospital, Camden, NJ.

Web edition: October 12, 2012 In the muck beneath the ocean floor, there’s something alive. Lots of somethings. But don’t worry: You'll never see them. Instead, these tiny, one-celled germs are content to hunker down in very old clay, for a very long time, eating just enough to stay alive. “These organisms are so different from anything we know,” says Hans Roy, a biologist from Aarhus University in Denmark. He has been studying microbes that live beneath the Pacific Ocean, near the equator. Recently, he and other scientists published a study in the journal Science that contained a surprising observation: These organisms may live for an astonishingly long time — perhaps millions of years.


Can science put a value on art? Brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder affect tens of thousands of US veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Rokeby would also become famous during the years leading up to the Civil War. Rowland Thomas and Rachel Gilpin Robinson were devout Quakers and radical abolitionists, according to the museum. They sheltered fugitive slaves at the Addison County farm during the the 1830s and 1840s. Williamson revealed the "before and after" daguerreotype of Thomas Richardson Robinson. The 19th-century image of the patriarch of the Rokeby Robinsons "is amazing," she said.

Fly on the wall |This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)| Fly-on-the-wall is a style of documentary-making used in filmmaking and television production. The name derived from the idea that events are seen candidly, as a fly on a wall might see them. In the purest form of fly-on-the-wall documentary-making, the camera crew works as unobtrusively as possible; however, it is also common for participants to be interviewed, often by an off-camera voice.

Nauset Lighthouse. Located within the Cape Cod National Seashore, Nauset Light is one of the most famous lighthouses on the east coast. Originally built in 1887, it was moved to Eastham from Chatham in 1923 to replace the Three Sisters. The upper portion of the beacon was painted red in 1940 to distinguish it from Highland and Chatham lights. Nauset Light was in danger of being lost to erosion, and in 1993 the Coast Guard proposed decommissioning the light. The light was saved, however, by the Nauset Light Preservation Society, which financed a project to move the light further inland and was finally completed in 1996. This working lighthouse is visible 16 miles out to sea.


Catching the Kingfish The kingfish is caught on the same tackle, from New Jersey southward along the coast to Texas. It grows to a weight of twelve pounds. In northern waters the kingfish is not the same as these southern fish and does not get as large, seldom going over five pounds, and usually much smaller. For these common bass tackle may be used. The bait may be sand worm, shedder crab, shrimp or clam. The fishing is done from an anchored boat near rocky places. Brooks, Lake. The Science of Fishing. Columbus, OH: A.R. Harding, 1912.

How can diabetics prevent hearing loss? Hearing loss is more common among those who suffer from diabetes. According to the Mayo Clinic, over time poor blood sugar control can damage the blood vessels and nerves in the ear that help people hear. If you have diabetes, look for these symptoms outlined by the Mayo Clinic to see if your hearing is diminishing: - Turning the volume up louder on your radio or TV - Struggle to follow conversations between multiple people - Think people are mumbling - Ask people to repeat what they said - Struggle to hear in crowded, noisy places Diabetics are urged to control their blood sugar to help prevent hearing loss, as well as seek advice from your doctors if you feel your hearing is diminishing.

In textiles, pile is the raised surface or nap of a fabric, which is made of upright loops or strands of yarn. Examples of pile textiles are carpets, corduroy, velvet, plush, and Turkish towels. The word is derived from Latin pilus for "hair" The surface and the yarn in these fabrics also called "pile". In particular "pile length" or "pile depth" refer to the length of the yarn strands (half-length of the loops). The types of pile include - loop pile - uncut pile - cut pile - knotted pile - tufted pile - woven pile - cord pile - twist pile - "Pile."

Folding paper in half. Measuring equal distance. Cutting in a straight line. Scissors, ruler, colored paper, stapler, twine 1) Begin with a piece of paper that measures 12 x 12 inches. 3) Using a ruler and a pencil, make lines one inch apart from fold to about an inch from the edge. 4) Start at the fold to make your cuts. Do not cut to the end of the page. Leave an inch or so margin. 6) Roll your paper into a cylinder—you will begin to see the lantern taking shape! 7) Staple the top and bottom together 8) Cut a strip 1 inch x 12 inches long for the handle; secure with a stapler at the top of your lantern. 9) Use twine to string them together.


The FBI Laboratory still conducts microscopic hair comparisons. There is no reason to believe the FBI Laboratory employed “flawed” forensic techniques. The validity of the science of microscopic hair comparison is not at issue; however, based on recent cases, the FBI and Department of Justice are committed to undertaking a review of historical cases that occurred prior to the regular use of mitochondrial DNA testing to ensure that FBI testimony at trial properly reflects the bounds of the underlying science. In 1996, the FBI implemented mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis to be used in conjunction with microscopic hair comparisons. Both the microscopic hair technique and mtDNA testing can contribute valuable information and, when combined, provide a stronger analysis.


The Mint and BEP have a rich history. Soon after the Constitution’s ratification, Secretary Hamilton personally prepared plans for a national Mint. On April 2, 1792, an Act of Congress established the first United States Mint facility in Philadelphia (the first federal building erected under the Constitution) and established the U.S. legal tender system, ordering the creation of gold, silver and copper coinage ranging in value from $10 to half of a penny. This is also when the eagle design on United States coins was authorized. Today, the United States Mint operates six facilities across the United States – each of which performs unique functions. Facilities include the Headquarters in Washington, DC; production facilities in Philadelphia, PA; West Point, NY; Denver, CO; and San Francisco, CA; and the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, KY.


The Texas Coastal Monitoring Program engages people who live along the coast in the study of their natural environment. High school students, teachers, and scientists work together to gain a better understanding of dune and beach dynamics on the Texas coast. Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin provide the tools and training needed for scientific investigation. Students and teachers learn how to measure the topography, map the vegetation line and shoreline, and observe weather and wave conditions. By participating in an actual research project, the students obtain an enhanced science education. Furthurmore, public awareness of coastal processes and the Texas Coastal Management Program is heightened through this program. The students' efforts also provide coastal communities with valuable data on their changing shoreline.

On January 20, 1863, General Ambrose Burnside, commander of the Union’s Army of the Potomac, tried to march on Richmond. In part, Burnside was seeking to reverse the sting of the Battle of Fredericksburg, a largely one-sided engagement in the previous month that had seen appalling Union casualties. At Fredericksburg, Burnside had foolishly attempted to penetrate a highly fortified Confederate position. This time, Burnside hoped to lure Robert E. Lee’s forces out into the open. But Burnside’s most formidable opponent in late January was not Lee, but driving rain and mud that slowed his army’s march to a crawl. Attempts to ford a critical river ended in failure. Accepting the inevitable, Burnside marched his army home, facing Confederate taunts and sharpshooters along the way.


Rules & Regs by Jeffrey G. Gilmore and Karen E. Harrison Recent discoveries of high levels of radon gas in many homes in the Northeast have led the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to propose rule-making on radon in drinking water, and to issue guidelines on radon detection and elimination. Radon gas forms when uranium and radium deposits, which are found naturally in soil, decay. According to A. James Barnes, deputy administrator of the EPA, radon contamination may be responsible for nearly 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year. The EPA estimates that up to 12 percent of the homes in the U.S. have unsafe radon levels. In fact, tests for radon are now frequently conducted prior to the sale or


Message is a precise encapsulation of a position or idea. "Message" takes its original form from the metaphor of communication being personal: someone is moved when they feel they are being spoken to directly, as in "send them a message" or "if you want to send a message, use Western Union." In the era of mass broadcasting, creating message while still being generic enough to be widely disseminated became the focus of political advertising. In the present message is most effective when ordinary people want to retransmit that message. This means that attaching message in the form of a meme - which people want to spread - is part of the dynamics of political discourse. (See Viral Marketting).


Ask an Eye M.D. Answer Archive Is there only one kind of cataract? Cataract is simply a clouding of the lens of the eye that sits behind the pupil. Cataracts can be due to such things as age (the majority) or trauma, and babies can even be born with a congenital type of cataract. We often grade them by how they look and where in the lens they occur—such as cortical, nuclear sclerotic, posterior subcapsular etc. However, the removal process is pretty much the same for all types.

Expansion on the concept: You wish to know why? When ever you pluralize a word that ends in a long vowel sound, such as 'antenna', the ending is changed to a long 'e' sound ('eee'). So, antenna becomes antennae, and virus becomes viri (exception to the case are words like banana and cacti. It's pronounced 'cac-aye'. There are specific cases when the end is pronounced 'eee', and what these cases are, I do not know). Now, take radius... you have an 'i' that you must pronounce; ray-dee-us The plural form should be, according to the rule, 'ray-dee'; however, there is still that extra 'i', thus, it becomes 'ray-dee-aye' With virus, there is no extra 'i', thus, instead of being pronounced 've-ree-aye', it's pronounced 've-ree'.


So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. Why did John choose to mention three times that he beat Peter to the tomb?


Coral Reef Survival From Web Page: "Nature can be a dangerous place, and coral reefs are no exception. The abundance of marine life found near reefs attracts many predators. Survival means avoiding predators, and there are many different and successful strategies for doing so. Some fish are very well camouflaged. Others are fast swimmers that depend on speed. Fish also swim together in schools to present a confusing target to their enemies. These and other remarkable survival strategies are presented in this colorful and interesting book."

The term "fetal adenoma" has long occupied a place in the literature on the thyroid gland. The first use of this term is generally credited to Wölfler,1 who in 1883 used it to designate certain nodular tumors of the thyroid gland, which he thought arose from fetal cell rests. With an advance in knowledge, however, the concept of a fetal origin for these nodules has largely been discarded, although through usage the term persists in the literature. Today it has come to designate a distinctive type of nodule, on the general features of which most observers are agreed. While a detailed description of a typical "fetal adenoma" will be given later (fig. 1), a few of its distinctive features may be cited here. Such a nodule is discrete, circumscribed, encapsulated and of variable size, occurring alone or multiply and presenting to the unaided eye a dull gray homogeneous substance


table of contents Aminoglycosides are a group of antibiotics that are effective against certain types … Biology Articles » Molecular Biology » Aminoglycoside » Apramycin The novel aminoglycoside antibiotic apramycin is shown to be a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in bacteria both in vivo and in vitro. In cell-free systems from Escherichia coli programmed with poly(U), apramycin induces translation errors, as assayed by incorporation of leucine, isoleucine and serine, although this effect occurs only to a limited extent. Apramycin inhibits the translocation step of protein synthesis both in vivo, in protoplasts of Bacillus megaterium, and in vitro, in cell-free systems from E. coli. It is proposed that this is the primary inhibitory effect of the drug. rating: 4.06 from 18 votes | updated on: 24 Feb 2008 | views: 27494 |


This image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, highlights the dust that speckles the Andromeda galaxy's spiral arms. It shows light seen by the longest-wavelength infrared detectors on WISE (12-micron light has been color coded orange, and 22-micron light, red). The hot dust, which is being heated by newborn stars, traces the spidery arms all the way to the center of the galaxy. Telltale signs of young stars can also be seen in the centers of Andromeda's smaller companion galaxies, M32 and M110. Andromeda, also called M31, is 2.5 million light-years away, and is the nearest large neighbor to our Milky Way galaxy. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA


Photos and VideosMore Photos and Videos A conservation group recently announced that the Northern White Rhino of Africa are possibly extinct in the wild. San Diego Safari Park has two of these rhinoceros, which are some of the only ones left on the planet. There are only seven or eight total in the world, with four in Kenya and one or two in the Czech Republic, according to San Diego Zoo officials. The International Union for Conservation of Nature said the Western Black Rhino of Africa is officially extinct, with another species called the Javan Rhino most likely being extinct. “We've been very successful with breeding rhinos at the Safari Park,” San Diego Zoo official Jenny Mehlow told NBC San Diego. The rhino population at Safari Park is also comprised of Southern White Rhinos and Greater One-Horned Rhinos.


In 1972 a large deposit of pottery and other finds from the mid-fifth century B.C. were found in a pit just west of the Royal Stoa in the Athenian Agora. It contained many fragments of figured pottery, more than half of which were large drinking vessels. 21 fragments were inscribed with a graffito known to be a mark of public ownership. The authors conclude that the pottery is refuse from one of the public dining facilities which served the magistrates of Classical Athens. The volume examines the archaeological context and chronology of the deposit and gives a detailed analysis of all the finds. A complete catalogue arranges the finds by type and in chronological order.

Ok I'm not really sure where to start here, any hints would be appreciated. Am I supposed to use -1<sinkt°<1 ? how to i fit in the 365 day with t?


The pioneers in "Pioneers! O Pioneers!" are some seriously outdoorsy folk. Imagine flannels, work boots, and hats. Definitely hats. They don't sit around in plush chairs in fancy towns. No! They sleep on the hard ground and march across mountains and passes; they seize hold of and explore the world. This exploration also involves conquering parts of nature: felling trees, digging mines and making roads. They're not afraid to get dirty, and get the job done. The relationship between the pioneers and the natural world is primarily antagonistic. Nature's the enemy, and it must be conquered. Although our speaker rejoices in the felling of forests and digging of mines, he clearly appreciates wilderness. In fact, he seems to dislike places that are too civilized precisely because they don't provide the opportunity to encounter the wildness and beauty of the natural world.


Military History | Portuguese Colonial War Portuguese Colonial War 1961-74 Posted 10 Jul 2009 Portugal was the first European country to arrive in Africa and the last to leave. Between 1961 and 1974 Portugal conducted three simultaneous campaigns in Guinea-Bissau, Angola and Mozambique - collectively called the Portuguese Colonial War (Guerra Colonial) or Overseas War (Guerra do Ultramar). It was Portugal's first major war since World War I. The Colonial War was small scale and involved the Portuguese manning and supplying fortified posts whilst trying to locate and destroy small guerrilla bands. Both sides used ambushes; the insurgents ambushing the Portuguese convoys and the Portuguese intervention units (unidades de intervenço) ambushing the insurgent incursion groups.

|Radiation Oncology Medical Dosimetrists| Dosimetrists carefully calculate the dose of radiation to make sure the tumor gets enough radiation. Using computers, they develop a number of treatment plans that can best destroy the tumor while sparing normal tissue. Since treatment plans are often very complex, dosimetrists work with the radiation oncologist and the medical physicist to choose the treatment plan that is right for you. Many dosimetrists start as radiation therapists and then, with very intensive training, become dosimetrists. Others are graduates of one- to two-year dosimetry programs. They are certified by the Medical Dosimetrist Certification Board.

Definition of Wisdom tooth Wisdom tooth: One of the large molars in the very back of the jaw. The human jaw has changed in size over the course of evolution, and wisdom teeth are no longer needed, but they continue to erupt in many individuals. If the jaw is too small to accommodate them, they may cause pain or crowd other teeth out of position. The wisdom teeth may need to be surgically removed.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary Last Editorial Review: 3/30/2012 WebMD Oral Health Get tips for a healthy mouth.
