American Consul during Armenian Genocide. Submitted reports on the situation. Davis was posted in Harput, in Turkish interior, from 1914 to 1917. He saved numerous Armenians by sheltering them in the consulate, by helping them to escape to Russia, and by providing financial help and communications with American relatives. He risked his own life because Turkish law forbade anyone to hide or assist refugee Armenians. He made several horseback trips, and wrote a long report to the State Department on the thousands of bodies he saw, particularly near Lake Goeljuk (modern Hazar Golu). For further details see "The Slaughterhouse Province" by Leslie A. Davis, edited by Susan Blair, copyright 1989.


What Is Schizophrenia, Anyway? This chronic, disabling brain disorder affects about 2.2 million Americans. Its symptoms typically appear in the late teen years or twenties. Although there is no cure for schizophrenia, it is treatable and manageable. Michael Jibson, MD, PhD, Prof. of Psychiatry and Director, UM Psychiatry Residency Education, and expert on schizophrenia, has written extensively about this disease and has a special interest in the medications used to treat it. Learn about the latest research and treatment of schizophrenia when Dr. Jibson visits the downtown Library on Mon., Nov. 13 at 7 pm. A variety of books about schizophrenia, both fiction and non-fiction, are available at the Library to help us understand the disease and its effects on the lives of those who suffer from it.


Coarctation of the aorta is a birth defect in which the aorta, the major artery from the heart, is narrowed. The narrowing results in high blood pressure before the point of coarctation and low blood pressure beyond the point of coarctation. Most commonly, coarctation is located so that there is high blood pressure in the upper body and arms and low blood pressure in the lower body and legs. Symptoms can include localized hypertension, cold feet or legs, decreased exercise performance, and heart failure. Review Date: 11/2/2009 Reviewed By: Neil K.

Greetings to everyone. I learned the personal pronouns today (D'Ooge) (page 123), which makes me wonder: what is the difference between possessive adjectives and the genitive case of personal pronouns? For example, the gen. case of "ego" is "mei". How is it different from "meus, mea, meum"? The first means "of me", the latter means "my", so don't they mean the same thing? Thanks in advance.


Astronomers Adam Kraus and Michael Ireland from Hawaii have captured the first direct image of a new planet being formed just 450 light years away from Earth. The LkCa 15 b is the youngest planet ever observed, with the previous record holder, Beta Pictoris b, being five times older. Kraus, from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy, said the new planet is being formed out of dust and gas around a star about 2 million years old. The Jupiter-sized gas planet is estimated to have begun shaping itself between 50,000 to 100,000 years back. Ireland, from Macquarie University and the Australian Astronomical Observatory, together with his colleague, used Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea to locate the said planet. [Read more...]

Finding the curve was a problem first posed by Galileo. In the late 17th century the Swiss mathematician Jakob Bernoulli offered a reward for the solution of this problem. He and his younger brother Johann, along with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Isaac Newton, and others, found the curve to be a cycloid (q.v.). See also isoperimetric problem.

Asarina is a genus comprising 16 species of strongly sprawling or twining perennials, native to Mexico, southwestern USA, and southern Europe. Originally placed in the Scrophulariaceae (figwort family), they have more recently been moved to the Plantaginaceae (plantain family). Leaves are often triangular, toothed, downy and hairy with twining flower stalks. Flowers are attractive trumpet-shaped with broad green sepals and pale throat-spotted corolla in varying sizes, resemble snapdragons, and may be white, yellow, pink, purple, and shades in between. Some species are often placed in the genus Maurandya.

Martin van Creveld, The Age of Airpower (New York: PublicAffairs, 2011), 512 pp., $35.00. The Age of Airpower ALMOST EXACTLY a hundred years ago, a young Italian airman dropped a couple of grenades from a small biplane on Turkish soldiers in the war between Italy and the Ottoman Empire for control of the largely desert territory. The grenades were difficult to use, and the crew had to pull out the pins with their teeth. But according to most accounts of the history of aerial warfare, this launched the bombing age. Now, a century later, expensive high-tech fighter-bombers are patrolling over the same desert areas, this time destroying the ground units of Colonel Qaddafi’s discredited army (and occasionally civilians). The power of the weapons and how they are delivered has been transformed. The questions that first arose in 1912 about the effectiveness and morality of air attacks remain.

What was the thought experiment that led Einstein to general relativity? He imagined a man in free fall. To understand what he saw, imagine a man in a closed elevator chamber that is falling toward the earth. He would float feely in the chamber, and anything he pulled from his pocket and dropped would float freely next to him just as if he were in a closed chamber sitting still in a gravity-free region of deep outer space. On the other hand, imagine a woman in a closed chamber who is accelerating upward in outer space, far from any gravity. She would feel pulled down to the floor, just as if she were being pulled down by gravity. From the equivalence of gravity and acceleration, he constructed his general theory of relativity. Next It's All Relative


(Latin: rules of law) In general, rules of legal interpretation. In a more specific sense, regulae juris are certain legal axioms found in the Decretals of Gregory IX and the Decretals of Boniface VIII. There are 99 in all, referred to as R.J. Some instances will make the matter clear. "Once bad, always presumed to be bad"; this applies only "in the same crime, e.g., if a man has been proven a perjurer once, he is excluded from giving testimony again, but he would not be considered a homicide from the fact that he was a perjurer. "There is no injury done to one who knowingly and freely consents"; this suggests that no one is injured if he knowingly and willingly gives up a right which he is allowed to surrender, but does not apply in case he is morally incapable of giving it up.

NamedTuple is a tuple subclass that allows its elements to be named. Elements can be accessed by index and by name. Python, 22 lines A common usage of tuples is to represent aggregations of heterogenous data, as a kind of anonymous data structure. The built-in tuple type only allows the elements to be accessed by their indices; this leads to a loss of clarity: seeing x in code is less clear than x.middlename, for example. The NamedTuple class allows construction of tuples with named elements. These elements can then be accessed by index or by name, as convenient. For example: Because NamedTuple is a subclass of tuple, all the standard tuple methods will work on it as usual. This provides the convenience of tuples with the clarity of named elements.


A representative sample of U.S. adults was interviewed and examined between 1976 and 1980. Participants were asked about personal characteristics, medical history, current and past medicine use, and health behaviors. Participants' blood pressure was measured carefully, and blood samples were obtained to measure cholesterol levels. Then, from 1976 to 1992, Social Security and National Death Index files were searched to see whether any participants had died and to find causes for death. The researchers then looked at which blood pressure measurements (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, or pulse pressure) taken at the first examination predicted deaths. To help ensure correct predictions, they did analyses that “controlled for” other factors, such as age, sex, smoking status, diabetes, and cholesterol level, which might be associated with increased risk for death.


A bite is considered to be healthy when all or most of the teeth are present and not destroyed by normal daily usage. It is destructive when teeth show wear, looseness or when TMJ (jaw joint) damage is seen. Bite therapy helps restore a bite that can function without damage and destruction. The therapy may include: - Reshaping the biting surfaces of the teeth and eliminating spots of excessive pressures where the teeth are brought into contact. This is done by carefully dividing bite pressures evenly across all of the teeth. - Bite splint therapy using a custom-fitted and adjusted plastic bite guard to keep the teeth apart, worn during the day, at night, or both. - Braces to reposition mal-aligned or drifted teeth. - Replacement of old, worn out, or damaged fillings. - Reconstruction of badly worn and damaged teeth.


The government of this United States commonwealth amended their constitution on October 3, 1996, to make the song “Gi Talo Gi Halom Tasi” (Chamorro version; in Carolinian it is known as “Satil Matawal Pacifico”) the commonwealth’s official song. The melody of the song is taken from the German tune “Im Schonsten Wiezengrunde”. (Although what was later the Northern Mariana Islands was owned by Germany before World War Two, I don’t believe there is a connection.) The Chamorro lyrics were written first, the Carolinian lyrics were written just before the Northern Mariana Islands became a separate U.S. territory. (It was at that time that it was first proposed that “Gi Talo Gi Halom Tasi” be the anthem of the Northern Mariana Islands, but it was not acted upon until nearly 20 years later.

Marine Wildlife Encyclopedia Ivory Gull Pagophila eburnea Completely white, apart from its yellow-tipped bill, black eyes, and black feet, the ivory gull is the world’s most northerly breeding bird. With its buoyant flight and pigeonlike walk, the ivory gull ranges across open water and sea ice, and it can be found almost anywhere over the Arctic Ocean. It feeds largely by scavenging and is quickly attracted to the carcasses of dead seals and whales. The ivory gull is currently undergoing a steep decline. The reasons for this are unclear.


A few days ago we asked Dr. AnnMarie Thomas, a professor of engineering at the University of St. Thomas, to share her thoughts on the occasion. If you haven’t read her guest editorial, please do check it out. However, the gist was that it’s our responsibility to let girls — and everyone else! — know that engineering and other technical vocations are options. The IAGTED page lists activities going on nationwide. But there are things we can do as individuals to encourage girls to pursue technical careers. As AnnMarie wrote in her editorial, I challenge all of you makers out there to introduce a girl to engineering- pick up a soldering iron, go on a factory tour, visit a windmill, or share the beauty of Bernoulli’s equation. And feel free to include her little brother, father or mother! So, readers, what are you going to do? Leave a comment. [Image: Argonne National Laboratory]

system of equationsArticle Free Pass system of equations, orsimultaneous equations, In algebra, two or more equations to be solved together (i.e., the solution must satisfy all the equations in the system). For a system to have a unique solution, the number of equations must equal the number of unknowns. Even then a solution is not guaranteed. If a solution exists, the system is consistent; if not, it is inconsistent. A system of linear equations can be represented by a matrix whose elements are the coefficients of the equations. Though simple systems of two equations in two unknowns can be solved by substitution, larger systems are best handled with matrix techniques. What made you want to look up "system of equations"?

Even though Californians voted against mandatory labelling of genetically modified foods (17 November, p 28), it is worth considering the details of a suitable system. For a long time everything humans ate was "natural" food. Then came agriculture and animal husbandry, and we started to "modify" food by selective breeding. Then we discovered how to alter genes in the lab. This suggests three label codes would suffice. GN (Genes Natural), SG (Selected Genes) and GM (Modified Genes). I believe that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and I wish the GN-only fanatics the very best of luck.

The aim of this paper is to examine the various possible symbolic mnemonic devices that the ‘Cretan labyrinth’ can be constructed from. The ‘Cretan labyrinth’ has been used throughout history, sometimes as graffiti. Yet it has a complex and difficult structure, not a structure that you would expect to find in graffiti that would have been constructed in a hurry. The structure does suggest that it was drawn from the center expanded out form a very simple symbol. This paper concentrates on all the possible different ways of constructing it. These simple mnemonic symbols may explain the longevity and popularity of the complex structure of the ‘Cretan labyrinth’. Symmetry: Art and Science Vol. 2 (New Series), Issue 1-4, p. 204-217

JSP Redirect Example describes about How To Redirect a JSP page using response.sendRedirect() function How To Use JSP SendRedirect? For redirect a page in JSP, we are calling response.sendRedirect(), By using this method, the server return back the response to the client, from where next request comes and it displays that url. Here we are using the implicit object "response" to redirect the browser to a different resource. When calling a sendRedirect method, web container will inform the browser that a new URL is requested. Here browser issues entirely new request so any data that are stored as request attributes will be lost after the redirect happens If we called sendRedirect() from JSP #1 to JSP #2 the browser's location bar is changed to show JSP #2, since a sendRedirect() is a new request,


FROM THE PLAN: EVERYWHERE I GO: LEARNING TO SEE JESUS The message of the Passover is the same today as it was on that historical night in Egypt: There is no salvation except by the grace of God. In the Old Testament and New Testament, people were saved in the same way: by the grace of God. The Hebrews who experienced Passover were saved by a spotless lamb, and so are we: the spotless lamb of God whose name is Jesus. His blood marks us as righteous, and the judgment of God passes over us delivering us from the consequences of sin. God's initiative is grace. Our response is faith. That is the prescription for salvation that was first depicted in Passover. Created 8 months ago


Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Named for Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. - A chain used to make easier access to a pocket watch in the watchpocket of a waistcoat. The Albert style went to a T-bar finding that tucked into a buttoned buttonhole of the waistcoat. From there a further small length of chain hung, to which the wearer attached decorative charms such as fraternity or lodge symbols. The double Albert was a chain draped between both watchpockets, with the T-bar and pendant chain in the middle. With the passing of their use as a functional item, Albert chains are still used as jewelry, worn in any number of manners.

Guide for the Perplexed, by Moses Maimonides, Friedländer tr. , at sacred-texts.com THE theory of Aristotle in respect to the causes of the motion of the spheres led him to assume the existence of Intelligences. Although this theory consists of assertions which cannot be proved, yet it is the least open to doubt, and is more systematic than any other, as has been stated by Alexander in the book called The Origin of the Universe. It includes maxims which are identical with those taught in Scripture, and it is to a still greater extent in harmony with doctrines contained in well-known genuine Midrashim, as will be explained by me. For this reason I will cite his views and his proofs, and collect from them what coincides with the teachings of Scripture, and agrees with the doctrine held by our Sages.


Pigments are organic or inorganic, coloured, white or black materials that are practically insoluble in the medium in which they are dispersed. Organic pigments refer to a wide range of chemical families and cover a wide spectrum of properties. They are mainly used for applications needing high tinting strength and brilliant shades. However, organic pigments can also include metallic (inorganic) elements in their structure which help stabilize the properties of the organic component. Inorganic Pigments are inorganic chemical compounds, usually metallic salts precipitated from solutions. Inorganic pigments are mainly useful where high opacity is needed. The majorities of inorganic pigments are brighter and last longer than organic ones


I learned "Hello, how are you?" "I'm fine, thank you. And you?" "I'm fine too, thank you". After that, "This is a pen. that is my house",,etc when I was a junior high school student. I think all Japanese people learned these phrases in their school. I've remembered that it was difficult for me to understand the past perfect tense. "I've lived here for three years" It means 私はここで３年間生活しています。 I didn't know the difference between "I live here for,,," and "I've lived here for,,,,". (Maybe I don't still understand it well)


SPENCER WEINER / LAT Los Angeles Zoo, Condor keeper, Mike Clark, prepares to feed a newly hatched Condor chick. The feeding glove helps the new chicks associate food with adult condors, the birds are not exposed to humans whenever possible. The largest bird in North America, condors are scavengers that have soared over mountainous areas of California since prehistoric times, but their numbers plummeted in the 20th Century. Condors were listed as an endangered species in 1967. In 1982, the condor population reached its lowest level of 22 birds, prompting Service biologists to start collecting chicks and eggs for a captive breeding program. In 1992, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began releasing California condors back into the wild.


Rupert Brooke (1887-1915), Poet Sitter in 18 portraits Cambridge-educated, Brooke joined the Royal Navy at the outbreak of war. Publication of five patriotic war sonnets coincided with his death from septicaemia while on his way to join the campaign at Gallipoli. The most popular poet of the war, for some, Brooke symbolised a pre-war golden age, destroyed by the conflict. From Soldier by Rupert Brooke, 1914 If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. by Unknown photographer Literature, Journalism and Publishing First World War Poets


As we enter the world of PICASSO, we will investigate the Instruction and Curriculum tabs. One main emphasis is the addition of the High Priority Technology Standards that are being woven into the curriculum. For some of the content areas there are PDFs available with a quick reference guides to technology resources. One of those available is the Resources for High Priority Technology Standards for K-5 LA and Math. This summer ISTE, International Society for Technology in Education, is reviewing the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS). As PICASSO develops, more resources will be added, so keep an eye out as more information is being added.


Diagnostic tests for schizophrenia and related conditions will be developed. Nanogen acquired rights to genetic markers related to schizophrenia and responses to antipsychotic therapies from the Co-operative Research Centre for Diagnostics and Queensland University of Technology in Australia. Nanogen plans to utilize the markers to create diagnostic tests. Some of these markers may also help predict adverse drug reactions and therefore guide therapeutic decision-making. "Due to its complexity—schizophrenia, like many mental disorders, is believed to be caused by mutations in multiple genes— development of effective diagnostics and treatments is likely to require multiplexed analytic methods capable of examining multiple genes simultaneously," remarks David Ludvigson, Nanogen's president and COO.

Common name: Torch lily, Red-hot poker Botanical name: Kniphofia spp. Family: Asphodelaceae (Aloe family) “Red Hot Poker” is the local nickname for these bold, handsome natives of Madagascar and tropical South Africa. Brought to England in 1707, they were kept as greenhouse treasures until 1848, when someone had the bright idea of planting them outdoors, and their abiding hardiness was discovered. The old-fashioned orange and yellow form has survived years of neglect in abandoned gardens here on the coast; the new hybrids and species we offer, in versatile creamy yellows, chartreuses, soft melons and bolder colors, are more suitable to modern schemes, but are just as hardy and reliable. The thick, almost succulent leaf blades are evergreen, and of interest even when the cylindrical flower spikes are absent. Heat and drought tolerant.


basics on how Anaglyph ( red/blue) 3d works.. the red lens sees blue dot as black and red dot disappears the blue lens sees the red dot as black and the blue dot disappears the mind assumes that the black dot coming from each eye is the same dot and plots it's position.. 1 the dot appears to float above the paper 2 they overlap and appear on the surface 3 shift the other way dots appear below the surface the concept is easy and applying it can be as complicated as you want to make it by having different parts deep or protruding. it can be a good puzzle. this shows the difference between the red and blue by moving between the 2 views in black and white.


Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well; Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand, Like the base Judean threw a pearl away Richer than all his tribe. William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Othello, in Othello, act 5, sc. 2, l. 343-8. "Judean" may refer to the betrayal of Christ by Judas, who threw away the "pearl of great price" (Matthew 13:46) which is heaven; but the earliest text reads "Indian," suggesting an ignorant East or West Indian who does not know the value of a precious stone.


A great idea from a teacher, two engineers, and a robotics specialist. Developed to use in the classroom but developing a following outside of it. The Multiplo robotics system. It’s easy to assemble, difficult to break and simple to customize: The concept is that you get a box that has a kit inside. We took care of all the technical details in order for each single part to be compatible. Everything you need to build a robot is inside of the box. But you can also add your own parts… “Right out of the Box” are the words we like to use about how you should start using your Multiplo Kit. There is no need to program, study a wiring diagram or buy tools. No soldering or protoboard needed. You can build a simple robot in about 45 minutes. Join the project on Kickstarter:

However, I don't know exactly. I don't have any more info than what I posted. I'll try to find out tho.


Although we all feel sad sometimes, clinical (major) depression is diagnosed when a person experiences depressed mood (sadness), loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, plus some of the following symptoms for at least 2 weeks: - changes in appetite or weight - lack of motivation or energy - insomnia (trouble sleeping) or oversleeping - noticeable changes in activity level (agitated or slowed down) - feelings of worthlessness or guilt - difficulty concentrating or making decisions - recurring thoughts of death or suicide Clinical depression may vary in its severity, and in its extreme forms (i.e., thoughts of suicide) can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Symptoms of other forms of depression, although generally milder, may still negatively affect a person's daily activities and quality of life.


Toefl score comparison unfair - August 16th, 2011 An analysis by the ETS which conducts Toefl (Test of English as a Foreign Language) showed that candidates whose mother tongue is an Indian language fared much better than those whose native language was English. "Toefl provides accurate scores at the individual level; it is not appropriate for comparing countries," clarified Walt MacDonald, ETS executive vice-president and chief operating officer. "The differences in the number of students taking the test in each country, how early English is introduced into the curriculum, how many hours per week are devoted to learning English, and the fact that those taking the test are not representative of all English speakers in each country or any defined population," Said MacDonald.

Why biofeedback would help this problem: Numerous studies have shown that most people having drug / alcohol /substance abuse problems are depressed, have very poor self-images, and also do not think they have control over their bodies or what happens to them. Biofeedback can help these problems. Other studies have shown that people who have alcohol abuse problems produce different patterns of brain waves than do people who do not have these problems. Training using neurofeedback (brain wave biofeedback) techniques can result in the abnormal patterns becoming normal. Thus, the problem should be controlled to the extent the brain waves become and remain normal.

Benin Kingdom, Nigeria Altar Group (Aseberia) with Oba Akenzua I and Attendants, 18th century H. 63 cm (25 1/4 in.) Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Ethnologisches Museum, III C 8164 Altar groups were an innovation of the 17th century, and their style—bulky, hierarchical, and crowded with imagery—is indicative of the complicated political intrigues of the day. This altar group honoring Oba Akenzua I is modeled on a similar one for Oba Ewuakpe, his father. Akenzua stands at center wearing the oba’s emblematic stone bead (ivie egbo), coral crown, high collar, necklaces, and ankle rings. In his right hand, he holds a staff depicting an oba standing atop an elephant. This commemorates Akenzua’s victory over Iyase n’Ode, who tried to overthrow him.


|Date:||December 4, 1787| |Creator:||Joseph Stebbins, Jr.| Caleb Phillips of Ashfield was one of thousands of men who came forward in the winter of 1787 to take an oath of allegiance to the state of Massachusetts. In exchange, he received a pardon for having taken up arms against the government. One of the conditions of the pardon required Phillips and other Regulators to surrender their guns for three years. With a new governor and legislature came a more lenient policy. As a consequence, Caleb Phillips signed this receipt for a gun returned to him in December, 1787, more than two and a half years ahead of the terms set in the original Disqualification Act of February, 1787.

December 3, 1998: NGC 253 is a large, almost edge-on spiral galaxy, and is one of the nearest galaxies beyond our local neighborhood of galaxies. This dramatic galaxy shows complex structures such as clumpy gas clouds, darkened dust lanes, and young, luminous central star clusters. These elements are typical of spiral galaxies. Caroline Herschel discovered NGC 253 in 1783 while looking for comets. The galaxy's closeness to Earth makes it an ideal target for amateur astronomers who can see the southern sky and for astronomers interested in learning more about the makeup of these stunning cities of stars.


Jeffreys Ledge, a large glacial remnant, is located ~35 km off the New Hampshire coast. It is a long (60 km), linear bank extending from Cape Ann, Massachusetts to Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Typical of glaciated features, the shallower regions of Jeffreys Ledge (~50-75 m) are composed of coarse sediments (mostly gravels with numerous cobble and boulder fields). Adjacent to Jeffreys Ledge are muddy basins that are over 200 meters in depth. Historically, Jeffreys Ledge has been an important fishing ground of the Gulf of Maine with high yields of cod, haddock, hake and flounder. However, in 1998, the Western Gulf Of Maine Closure Area was established by New England Fisheries Management Council, closing a large area of Jeffreys Ledge to ground fishing in hopes of restoring stocks.

(1) Currency is a zero-coupon perpetuity, so it is constitutional. The Fed regulates it, so the Fed is constitutional. What may not be constitutional it making currency legal tender. Imagine what the economy would be like if only metallic money were legal tender. No currency, no checks, no credit cards. (2) Kieffer confuses the monetary base (currency) with money (MZM). MZM growth has been average since 2008. The Fed prevented a collapse of the money supply and the financial system by injecting currency to offset the huge drop in the money multiplier since late 2008. Inflation has been lower since 2008 than over the previous 10 years. The exchange rate now is about the same as at the end of 2008. What's the problem?


Filed under: Brain & Nervous System Myasthenia gravis (mi-uhs-THEE-ne-uh GRA-vis) is characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of any of the muscles under your voluntary control. The cause of myasthenia gravis is a breakdown in the normal communication between nerves and muscles. There is no cure for myasthenia gravis, but treatment can help relieve signs and symptoms — such as weakness of arm or leg muscles, double vision, drooping eyelids, and difficulties with speech, chewing, swallowing and breathing. While myasthenia gravis can affect people of any age, it's more common in women younger than 40 and in men older than 60. Want to know more about this article or other health related issues?

Everything you need to understand or teach Morning Girl by Michael Dorris. Morning Girl, published in 1992, is a double first-person narrative told by Morning Girl, so-named because she is up before anyone else in the family, and Star Boy, her younger brother, who prefers the night and the stars to daytime. Alternate chapters give us Morning Girl's perceptions and Star Boy's. These children are growing up on an un-named Caribbean island, part of a loving family and extended tribe. The story is largely a coming-of-age tale for both Morning Girl and her brother as they cope with a family tragedy, a hurricane, with learning their places in the larger community, and finally with the arrival of white strangers.(read more)


3d+c 2d-c] = [8 1; 7 6] Sorry I don't know how to format the matrix. No steps taken yet, I have no idea how to proceed... have to find a, b, c ,d. Do you at least know what it means to say that two matrices are equal? It means that corresponding entries are equal: a- b= 8, b+ a= 1, 3d+ c= 7, 2d- c= 6. Solve the first two equations for a and b, the last two for c and d. I know what it means... >< So far we've only done (reduced) row echelon form and got into multiplying matrices, this is the first time we've seen integers/equations in the matrix like a-b and also a 2 column matrix on the right. Still don't know how to solve this...


What at first appears to be a blanket of fine snow on the sea bed is actually a patch of bleached coral off the northern shore of Papua New Guinea. As sea temperatures rise, this scene is becoming more and more common in coral reefs around the globe. Rising temperatures make corals expel their zooxanthellae (algae with which corals have a symbiotic relationship), leading to starvation. This is particularly bad news because once a reef dies, it turns to rubble, making it impossible for new coral to grow on top of it. This essentially turns what was once a flourishing biodiversity mini-hotspot into a sort of ecological deadzone.

A user input mechanism that allows fast, efficient four-way control. A trackball consists of a small sphere embedded in a device partially exposed, so that the user can move a thumb or finger against it to rotate the sphere in any direction. Therefore, moving a thumb or finger upward while touching the trackball moves "up" in the device's user interface. The action may be represented by a cursor icon moving upward, or by scrolling up through a list. Unlike four-way buttons (a "d-pad") a trackball allows you to scroll through many options in one motion, at nearly any speed. Unlike a wheel or dial that only lets you scroll up and down, a trackball lets you move in four or all directions.

The Huffington Post – by Timi Gustafson, R.D. Monday, July 30, 2012 Most diet programs for weight loss are mainly focused on managing calories. Of course, there is good reason for that. A surplus of calorie intake versus expenditure eventually leads to weight gain. Only about 500 additional calories a day can result in an extra pound of body weight per week — and, of course, the opposite applies just as much. However, it is also important to know where those calories come from, a fact that is not always communicated as well.


The clock drawing test is a test of simple realization and usually used in the clinical practice. It investigates several cognitive functions: praxies, temporo-spatial orientation, attention, visuo-constructive disorders. This test consists in making draw to the person a clock face; it is realisable in approximately 2 minutes. We present to the person a sheet where is drawn a circle and she has to represent the clock face by placing figures representing the hours, without model, then the girl and the minute hand to indicate given one hour (5:15 am for example). the number of points will vary depending on the presence of various elements of drawing The normal score is 7/7. If one or several points raise problem, it can involve light cognitive disorders or a dementia. The test presents a good sensibility of detection of the insanities but is not specific of the Alzheimer's disease.


Stands for "Electronic Data Interchange." EDI is a standardized method for transferring data between different computer systems or computer networks. It is commonly used for e-commerce purposes, such as sending orders to warehouses, tracking shipments, and creating invoices. Because may online retailers sell products that they do not physically stock, it is important to have an easy way to transfer order information to the locations where the goods are stored. EDI makes this possible. Some common EDI formats include X12 (U.S.), TRADACOMS (U.K.), and EDIFACT (International).


Rare Earth Magnets Rare Earth Magnets are comprised of the strongest magnetic materials in the world. Their name derives from the materials found in the Rare Earth section row of the Periodic Table of Elements. The two most common Rare Earth magnets are Neodymium (Nd) and Samarium Cobalt (Sm). Neodymium magnets are increasing in demand as they offer superior power in a small package. Common uses of Neodymium magnets include; cell phones, alternators, pacemakers, flow meters, linear actuators, gyroscopes, and more recently hybrid cars and wind turbines. Samarium Cobalt magnets produce energy rivaling that of Neodymium. Samarium Cobalt magnets retain most of their energy up to 575°F, making them ideal for high temperature applications. Typical uses for Samarium Cobalt magnets are hi-tech applications such as computers, electronics, and under the hood automotive applications.


From The TV IV Dramatic irony is a term borrowed from literary and dramatic criticism. It refers to a situation in which the audience is shown or made aware of an important fact, detail or story element of which one or more characters are unaware. In television, the best example of dramatic irony is in every episode of Columbo. Viewers would be shown a homicide in the first act, and would therefore know both the killer and his or her motive, but it would be up to the detective, Lt. Frank Columbo, to solve the case in the remaining two acts.


That's a lot of nonsense for nothing. buf+1 results in pointer arithmetic being performed, therefore it means buf . buf is a character. p is a pointer. Assigning buf to p should result in an error.

Also, main is defined as returning an int. int main () return 0; /* for success, non zero for failure */


CINCINNATI (AP) -- About 9,000 Cincinnati Public School students will see the movie "Bully" through a national project aimed at reducing youth bullying. The effort revolves around the documentary that attempts to demonstrate the toll bullying takes on children and families. The project aims to increase education and prevention of bullying across the country. Cincinnati superintendent Mary Ronan says the movie has the power to make a real difference by engaging community members at all levels and supporting commitment to safe schools for all students. Cincinnati students in grades eight through 11 are seeing the movie at a theater in northern Kentucky, across the Ohio River. Retailer Sears Holdings and banker JPMorgan Chase are among funders of the project. Bus company First Student is providing discounted transportation.


Red Square remains, as it has been for centuries, the heart and soul of Russia. Few places in the world bear the weight of history to the extent that Moscow's central square does. From the 16th Century St. Basil's Cathedral - one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world - to the constructivist pyramid of Lenin's Mausoleum, Red Square is rich in symbols of Russia's turbulent and intriguing past. History of Red Square From medieval slum to Soviet parade ground, Red Square has a long and fascinating history that is inextricably entwined with the fate of the Russian nation.


Even before lessons commence, parents can begin preparing their child by playing music to them. Suzuki thought that the minds of young children soak up information like a sponge and that these early years were therefore ideal for planting the learning seeds. Listening to music is essential, not just at the beginning of a child's education, but all the way through. It is amazing how well the musical ear can develop through listening alone. Children find it much easier to learn how to play a tune if they know what it sounds like already. For this reason, a CD of the Suzuki repertoire is given to each pupil and listening is prescribed as part of the daily practice. All Suzuki tunes are learnt by memory and perfected technically before moving on to the next one. Listening regularly to the repertoire will aid both of these skills.

The Grand Alliance (known, prior to 1689 , as the League of Augsburg ) was a European coalition , consisting (at various times) of Austria , the Holy Roman Empire , the Netherlands , the Palatinate , and the United Provinces . The organization, which was founded in 1686 , was known as the "Grand Alliance" after England joined the League (in 1689). The League was officially formed by Emperor Leopold I, acting upon the advice of William III of Orange. The primary reason, for the League's creation, was to defend the Palatinate from France. This organization fought the War of the Grand Alliance, against France, from 1688 to 1697.


Researchers at MIT have figured out a way to increase the effectiveness of existing solar panels (or create solar power from windows). Here’s a description from the article on just what is happening: The dye-based organic solar concentrator functions without the use of tracking or cooling systems, greatly reducing the overall cost compared to other concentrator technologies. Dye molecules coated on glass absorb sunlight, and re-emit it at a different wavelengths. The light is trapped and transported within the glass until it is captured by solar cells at the edge. Some light passes through the concentrator and can be absorbed by lower voltage solar cells underneath. It really seems like alternative energy stuff is picking up speed, which is fantastic. Very cool. H/T to Gizmodo.

Air gravity conveying to efficiency A wallboard manufacturer installs air gravity conveyors to minimize power consumption and maintenance. Temple-Inland Forest Products Corp., located in Diboll, Tex., began gypsum wallboard production in 1964. During the past 37 years, the company has expanded to add a total of four plants to the company. In 1999 Temple completed Standard Gypsum, a joint venture in Cumberland City, Tenn., strategically built adjacent to the Tennessee Valley Authority power plant. Standard Gypsum makes use of the synthetic gypsum, used to make gypsum wallboard, produced from the power plant's flue gas desulphurization by-product. Temple receives 66 percent of all company gypsum raw material requirements from this environmentally friendly source.


The White-eared Hummingbird is one of the many species of hummers you will find on a hike in Madera Canyon of the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson. If you are a hummingbird fanatic, this is the hot spot of southern Arizona for hummingbird species. The White-eared Hummingbird does indeed have white above the ears, but the body is what will catch your attention. A medium hummingbird in size, their iridescent green body and throat is set off by a striking violet head. They wear a black mask with the white above the eye toward the ears. The stomach is also white. They have a red beak with black on the end. The White-eared Hummingbird is a nectar feeder, preferring the sweet liquid over insects. The eggs are an extraordinary tiny one half inch in length, and are usually laid only as pairs. Reference: The Nature of Madera Canyon by Douglas W. Moore, Friends of Madera, 1999; whatbird.com

|CPR Basics||AHA Guidelines||Adult CPR||Child CPR||Infant CPR||AED Guidelines||CPR Test| BREATHING: Breathe for the infant Cover the baby's mouth and nose with your mouth. Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Use the strength of your cheeks to deliver gentle puffs of air (instead of deep breaths from your lungs) to slowly breathe into the baby's mouth one time, taking one second for the breath. Watch to see if the baby's chest rises. If it does, give a second rescue breath. If the chest does not rise, repeat the head tilt-chin lift and then give the second breath. If the chest still doesn't rise, examine the mouth to make sure no foreign material is inside. If the object is seen, sweep it out with your finger. If the airway seems blocked, perform first aid for a choking infant.


In a special report from Gallup, the polling firm found that a little more than 3 percent of Americans identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. But the study also found that people who were nonwhite were more likely to identify as LGBT: 4.6 percent of blacks, 4.0 of Latinos and 4.3 percent of Asians. About 3.2 percent of whites identified themselves as such. Women were more likely to identify as such than men were. Gallup reminded people reading the survey results that identifying as LGBT is informed by a complicated mix of social factors, including social stigma that may prohibit many people from claiming those identities.


|'Colorado Preserving' is an heirloom variety of citron watermelon. This is a melon generally used for preserving, or pickling. It does well in the U.S., better than some of the larger varieties. These small, round melons have thick walls and a mottled rind. The seeds are red with black speckles. Texture is like a cucumber. Watermelons generally do best in warm climates. Cool weather will not produce good fruits, but some of the adversity of cool weather can be overcome by starting seeds early indoors, and transplanting them out at the height of summer. Plastic groundcovers are highly recommended to increase soil temperature in the spring, and rowcovers will help the crop ripen in the fall.

An explanation of flocculation using Lewis Acid-base Theory. Brown-PM; Stanley-DA; Scheiner-BJ Miner Metall Process 1989 Nov; 6(4):196-200. The Bureau of Mines has developed a method of dewatering clay slurries based on flocculation by high-molecular-weight polymers and water removal from the formed flocs using a trommel or hydrosieve. The exchange ion on the clays affects their dewaterability. Metal ions in solution and on the exchange sites of smectite clays are known to act as Lewis acids. Recent work has determined that these ions can be titrated with high-molecular-weight polymers. The relative acidity of the exchange ion and the basicity of the polymer determined by the new method give insight into the dewatering mechanism.

Repetitive strain injuries are common in dentistry. Many dentists and dental hygienists are diagnosed with musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs). Dental experts spend their working days in a static position, having to perform precise procedures in a constrained workspace such as the patient’s mouth. When working alone, the aspiration of saliva and other liquids from a patient´s mouth using traditional aspiration tips introduces ergonomic limitations and difficulties affecting the performance. Typical hand motions known to cause hand pain - Upraised arms and large cervical flexion and rotation ⇒ Risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders - Holding the wrist in a non-neutral position. Torque movement of the wrist while the fingers are in a tight pinch grip ⇒ Risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and/or De Quervain’s Disease

European imperialists set out to distant shores in the hope of obtaining new knowledge along with new territories. The European imperial expeditions transformed the history of the world: from being series of histories of isolated peoples and cultures, it became the history of a single integrated human society. What made Europeans exceptional was their unparalleled and insatiable ambition to explore and conquer. Only in the 20th century did non-European cultures adopt a truly global vision. For modern Europeans, building an empire was a scientific project, while setting up a scientific discipline was an imperial project.


The flag of the Gambia consists of three horizontal red, blue and green bands separated by two thin white fimbriations. RED symbolizes the sun, the equatorial position of the country and the savannah (grasslands). WHITE stands for unity and peace. BLUE represents the Gambia River that flows between the green forest and the red savannah grasslands. GREEN symbolizes the Gambia’s land, forests and agricultural produce. It has been the flag of the Republic of the Gambia since the country gained independence in 1965. It remained unchanged throughout the Gambia’s seven-year confederation with Senegal.


4. Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865 When Abe Lincoln was president, the White House pitter-pattered with the sound of children's feet. Lincoln adored his children and reportedly gave them free reign to run, play and even interrupt Cabinet meetings. The Lincolns had four children, but only one, Robert Todd Lincoln, would live to adulthood. The deaths of their children left the Lincolns reeling. When 11-year-old Willie died in 1862, Lincoln wrote, "I know that he is much better off in heaven, but then we loved him so. It is hard, hard to have him die!"


October 22, 2014 An Italian company has just exhibited an exciting concept of a 3D printer. It demonstrated a smaller version, but they believe they can build structures up to 3 meters tall. “We will print a mixture made of clay and sand,” CEO Massimo Moretti said leading up to the event. “It takes weeks to print a real house, so we will print a smaller building because we only have two days. But the print, the mixture and materials have been already tested and they’re working.” It opens up a world of possibilities. I really like the concept as it creates a opportunity to insulate the thermal mass of the earth by using air gaps. Alternatively the voids could be filled to create more thermal mass. It also fits in nicely with open source architecture. More information at WASP.


§ Imlad-ril >> Imlad-rist (TI:120) < N. imlad ’dell, deep valley’ (VT45:18) + -ril ’glitter, brilliance’ (RIL-) or + rhis, rhess ’a ravine’ (RIS-) The first name of later Imladris seems to mean *’glittering/brilliant valley’. The following form is virtually identical to Imladris, which further simplifies -st to -s. But the writing with the hyphen may be more than just indication of the parts of the word. Boromir’s rhyme, following in the text, begins with the lines: Seek for the Sword that was broken: in Imlad-rist it dwells, and there shall words be spoken stronger than Morgol-spells. […] (TI:128) The metre requires a stress pattern in Ímlad-ríst it dwélls, so one can guess that Imlad-rist is meant to be stressed on the first and ultimate syllable.

Some people with Type 1 diabetes have trained their pups to alert them when their blood sugar is dangerously low. How do they do it? It turns out that the key is the sense of smell. Researchers at the University of Cambridge published results this week of a new study finding that during a hypoglycemic attack, dogs can detect a spike of the naturally occurring chemical "isoprene" on their owner's breath. "Humans aren't sensitive to the presence of isoprene, but dogs with their incredible sense of smell, find it easy to identify," Mark Evans, honorary consultant physician at Addenbrooke's Hospital, University of Cambridge," said in a statement. The researchers hope to develop new detectors in the future that can take advantage of this finding by measuring isoprene levels in diabetics.


Desert Muck Leech |Desert Muck Leech| |First appearance||Into the Wild Green Yonder| |Voiced by||Maurice LaMarche| These Leeches are descendants of the Dark Ones, who fought in the Arms Race of Evolution but only one survived the paving of the puddle that they lived in. This one later killed Frida Waterfall and Hutch Waterfall, but it would be killed by an Encyclopod and then gone forever after being eaten by Dr. Zoidberg. - The Latin name given for the creature is "Cyprinodon martius", which comes from also Death Valley pupfish or in Latin, "Cyprinodon salinus". The "martius" in the Desert Muck Leech is purely a reference to the fact that it lives on Mars. - Ken Keeler, (who wrote the film the Muck Leech was involved in), had a personal likeness for this pupfish, which could survive very harsh environments.

It is important to learn the cat's habits and forms of communications. Older cats often meow more than younger cats, and this can indicate that they need a little more attention. Some cats meow excessively because they don't like to be left alone. If your cat starts meowing much more than usual it might be time for a trip to the vet. It can mean the cat is stressed, or hurt. Of course, sometimes they meow just to say hi, because they want food, or attention. - To politely say hello to a cat, catch its gaze and look away. - If a feline gives you a slow blink, that's is like a wink between good friends. - If you cat approaches you with its tail straight up, it's like a handshake. It's happy to see you. Do you have a cat? Does he or she "talk" to you? ~ Maria Sadowski ~

It was chaired by the Prime Minister of Norway, Mrs Gro Harlem Bruntland, and has become known as The Bruntland Report. It described sustainable development as being:


For Richer, for Poorer| Wednesday, February 15, 2017 This piece focuses on the effects of international trade on inequality within developing countries. The effects of trade on inequality within a country are complex, as trade influences people’s earnings and consumption in several ways, and its uneven effects vary according to context. The nature of trade integration; how easily workers and capital move across firms, industries, and geographic regions; and where the people affected by trade fall on a country’s income distribution all play a role. This article highlights some insight into these issues from recent studies of trade’s uneven effects in several developing economies. For more information, please visit IMF’s Finance and Development.

The three-speed bicycle is a bicycle that uses internal hub gears at the rear wheel hub to provide three gear ratios. Typically, in low gear, the rear sprocket turns faster than the wheel; in middle gear, the rear sprocket turns at the same speed as the wheel; in high gear, the rear wheel turns faster than the sprocket. Three-speed hubs have been in use since the early 1900s. Though they are heavier than comparable derailleur systems, internal-gear hub systems generally last longer and require less maintenance. During their heyday, three-speed hubs were used in all applications, including racing and time trialling, cargo cycling, utility cycling, and commuting. In many parts of the world, three-speed hubs are still preferred for commuting and other types of utility cycling over derailleur systems. |This vehicle-related article is a stub.

Item - a line on an accounting sheet, or a specific thing on a tax form Class - a category or group of people or other things. See also: "class-action lawsuit" Experience Level - a quick way of gauging whether or not someone can be trusted to handle some difficult task, such as handling complicated retirement funds. Seriously, I once walked in on two money-manager friends talking about the experience level of one of their coworkers and it sounded like they were talking about a role-playing game. Simply using these sorts of terms in a role-playing game can strongly influence the types of games and players that will come about. Perhaps the "narrativist" revolution is not so bad after all, because of how it has challenged the existing language and terminology of role-playing games which so many people have become complacent about.


The phrase "an unjust law is no law at all" is attributed to St. Augustine. St. Augustine was an early Christian theologian who lived between 354 CE and 430 CE. The phrase is associated with natural law. Natural law assumes that there are rights that are inherent to all human beings by nature of being human. This philosophy has had a significant impact on law in the United States. The idea that there are rights that all people deserve is a founding principle in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Martin Luther King, Jr., a civil rights activist, used this phrase in his Letter from Birmingham Jail. King fought for equal protection for all ethnicities. He used this statement to explain his disobedience to unjust laws.


Helen Sanders reports in Health Ambition on ways to address a hypothetical serotonin deficiency; “Exercise is known to reduce stress, relieve depression, and increase happiness, stamina and endurance. Antidepressants can have some pretty serious unwanted side effects. Exercise has nothing but positive side effects for the health of your brain and your body … There are plenty of studies that prove exercise helps increase serotonin levels in the brain. That’s why people can get addicted to exercise so easily, because it makes them feel so good.” Enjoyed what you just read?

Cheetah: They can run up to 70 miles per hour.Instead of roaring like other cats, they purr. In one bound, a cheetah can go 23 to 26 feet. Mountain lions and cheetahs have the same ancestry. Lion: The roar of a lion can be hard five miles away. Lion live up to 25 years in captivity and 12 to 16 years in he wild. The lions are the only big cats that live in groups called prides. Almost every female lion in the pride is related. Lions have a tuft of fur at the end of their tail, which other cats don't have. Snow leopard: A snow leopard can leap seven times their own height because of their "strong, muscular hind legs." Tigers: Their "stripes are like fingerprints- no two animals have the same pattern." Tigers can swim very well. They don't stay away from water. Because of their bones, skin other other body parts, they are hunted for traditional Chinese medicine. Source: Big Cats Facts


While most of the tourist attractions of Prague are over 300 years old there’s at least one that’s only a little older than me, the Lennon Wall, a graffiti wall dedicated to the memory of John Lennon. The original tagging on the wall started in the 1980’s as an act of defiance against the communist regime. John Lennon and his music were symbolic of the freedoms that many young people felt they weren’t allowed under communist rule. Although authorities tried to whitewash the walls several times, the drawings came back as strong as ever. After the Velvet Revolution of 1989 the wall is still under transformation and has become more a symbol of free speech and peace rather than a place for anti-communist expression.
