Although we cannot yet prove scientifically that exposure to mold causes specific illnesses in people, we have a large body of evidence that supports this cause and effect relationship. For this reason, many U.S. and Canadian health and safety agencies have developed recommended procedures for handling indoor mold problems. This 4-hour interactive online course is a collection of these recommendations, including methods for assessing the magnitude of a mold problem, controlling the growth of mold, and planning and executing a mold cleanup project. The goal of this course is to help participants understand: How to conduct an environmental assessment for mold How to control and prevent mold How to plan, execute, and manage a mold remediation project There will be a multiple-choice test at the end of this course.


The concept of Null Hypothesis can be confusing for many of us. It is a statement of nonexistence, For example: "There is no (Statistically Significant) difference between the Means of these two Populations." And we normally think in terms of what exists, not what doesn't. It would be more natural for most of us to start by asking a question instead: "Is there a (Statistically Significant) difference between the Means of these two Populations?" Then, we could rephrase it as a Negative Statement to produce a Null Hypothesis, as shown below. Andrew A. (Andy) Jawlik is the author of the book, Statistics from A to Z -- Confusing Concepts Clarified, published by Wiley.

Reconstructing current energy infrastructures dominated by fossil fuels towards a high share of renewable energy requires a drastic extension of energy storage capacities. Common storage technologies like compressed air or pumped hydro are either limited in capacity or have to face low efficiencies. A promising alternative is proposed with the use of energy carrying compounds for hydrogen storage. This route is shown to offer the possibility to combine high process chain efficiency with lossless energy storage for stationary and mobile applications. In this article, efficiencies for energy storage by methane and energy transport substances are calculated and compared to each other.

Bridging the Gap Between Healthcare and Family "Paralysis can be either partial or complete. Paralysis of both the arms and legs has been traditionally been called quadriplegia. Quad comes from the Latin for four and plegia comes from the Greek for inability to move. Currently the term tetraplegia is becoming more popular, but it means the same thing. Tetra is from the Greek for inability to move." © 2015 BrainAndSpinalCord.org The American Lung Association is a great resource for anyone struggling with the various different forms of lung disease.

In most languages, if you need to swap the contents of two variables, say X and Y, it normally requires a third temporary location: Temp = X; X = Y; Y = Temp; But in assembly language, if the two variables are stored in registers (or even in memory), you can swap them without using a third register (or variable). Here’s the code that uses an exclusive or to swap the values: Try it yourself with some real values and you can almost see the bits exchanging places. Presto, Changeo! A little assembler magic.


There are three types of federal student financial aid: - Grants — This type of financial aid does not have to be repaid (unless you leave school and owe a refund). - Loans — This is money for school that you borrow. Loans almost always have to be repaid with interest. - Work-Study — This is money you earn by working in a job that qualifies for work study. Your college will help you coordinate your work study arrangement, and most work-study jobs are on campus.


Special Olympics is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences. Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability. Having sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away. Young people with disabilities often do not get a chance to play on their school sports teams. More and more U.S. states are adopting the Unified Sports approach that Special Olympics pioneered and making school sports much more inclusive. Special Olympics Oklahoma offers Unified Sports in the following sports:


A supernova explosion is one of the most powerful releases of energy in the universe. When the largest stars run out of fuel and collapse, the implosion of their core rebounds with such power that the resulting explosion outshines entire galaxies for several weeks. All that remains is a tiny dense neutron star, surrounded by an expanding cloud of ultra-hot glowing gas which we see as a beautiful nebula. If the star was particularly massive, then the remains of the core will become a black hole, instead of a neutron star. A supernova explosion can be devastating to neighbouring stars and planets light years away. Written by Allen Versfeld Comments? Questions? Why not mail me at firstname.lastname@example.org


Poor harvests caused by drought in parts of Central America could leave more than two million people hungry, the World Food Program (WFP) has said. Lower than average rainfall in June and July has led to major crop losses for small-scale maize and bean farmers in Central America’s “Dry Corridor,” which runs through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. This means subsistence farmers will not have enough food to eat or sell in the coming months, and have no food supplies to see them through the lean time between harvests. Central America is one of the regions most vulnerable to extreme weather linked to climate change, according to the UN. The region was hit hard by consecutive years of drought from 2014 to mid-2016, which left millions in need of food aid.


Why do children have breath holding spells? Q: My son is 18 months old. He has a habit of crying in only one breath . He starts turning blue while crying since he is not taking any breath and does that for over 15-20 seconds, which is very scary. Can you please help me know why kids do like this, is this common and what is the solution? A:Your son has breath-holding spells. They commonly occur in the age group of 6 months to 2 years and are sometimes associated with iron deficiency or occasionally calcium deficiency. These spells are observed when a child starts crying suddenly and holds the breath during the first breath. Avoid these situations and if the child holds the breath try to stimulate the child to breathe by pinching the back. Don't panic most often these settle over a period of time. See your pediatrician for dietary counselling and iron supplementation, if required.


This object is on display in the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. Collection Item Summary: The Gorgon 2C was one of a family of missiles of the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics. It was powered by a pulsejet, much like the one used on the famous V-1 German cruise missile of World War II. However, the Gorgon 2C never became operational because it was developed too late in the war. The 2C was converted into a control test vehicle and was used to test missile heat homing and radar homing systems and techniques. About 100 were built and tested altogether, starting in September 1946. This is probably one of the few if not the only remaining Gorgon 2Cs extant. The Gorgon program was cancelled in 1951. The missile was donated to the Smithsonian in 1966 by the U.S. Navy.

What is a window Sash? A window sash is a component of dwelling structures and buildings that allow for light to pass into the home and yet create a barrier to what will become “the outside.” A window sash can be made of many types of materials ranging from wood, steel, aluminum, Polyvinyl chloride, fiberglass and composites and is what holds one, two or three panes of glass. The most basic window sash consists of two Rails (top and bottom pieces) and the Stiles ( left and right pieces) and one piece of glass held in place using putty or an adhesive. An intricate (diamond lite) window sash hung over a simple window sash. What is a sash? Well I just told you. But I had to add what is a sash for the other people googling this and help them find this page too!

Forceps are instruments used for grasping during various medical procedures. A forceps has hinged handles that are used to control two blades or tongs. Obstetrical forceps look similar to a long pair of tongs that look like spoons. These forceps are used in some deliveries to grasp and guide a baby's head out of the birth canal (vagina). Surgical forceps, which look more like tweezers, come in varying lengths and are used to grasp and hold skin and other tissues during surgery. Forceps are also used to handle sterile dressings.

World Kindness Day is celebrated annually on 13th November. On this day, those who choose to participate, attempt to make the world a better place by celebrating and promoting good deeds and pledging acts of kindness, either as individuals or as organizations. Haywood Elementary deemed it Mr Rogers “Cardigan Day” and celebrated by encouraging children to wear a cardigan. These were a staple for television icon Mr Rogers who spent his career teaching kindness and acceptance. Principal, Dr Dusty Warren, took the challenge to another level and dressed entirely as Mr Rogers to encourage kindness and remind the children that they are special.


The gravity and atmosphere of the Red Planet are far different than that of Earth. Helicopter design would have to be altered – NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Bob Balaram explains the challenges. Well, copters really. The low atmospheric density makes getting lift a little harder. I wonder about a jumper, using some cheap thrust to send it up above the ground, coupled with some sort of autogyro to provide some control as it returned to the surface.

Cup-A-Cup is a fun, clever way to work on visual processing and response speed. Game includes 9 cups each with a circle, square or triangle, in blue, yellow or red, printed on the bottom. The two dice are marked with those same shapes and colors. So the object is to be the first player to grab the cup whose bottom shape completes the set indicated by the throw on the dice. If a red circle and a red square are thrown all players should be racing for the red triangle cup. And if a yellow square and blue triangle are thrown, be the first to pick up the red circle. First person to collect 4 cups is the winner! After the game is over, try stacking the cups. It is a fun and very motivating way to build arm, shoulder and trunk stability and control.

What is INSPIRE? INvolving School Parents In REading, writing and mathematics. Inspire Workshops are fun and exciting classes where you will learn how English and Mathematics work at Hollywood and how you can apply some of the ideas for games and activities at home. They are a fantastic opportunity for all parents and guardians to come into school and spend time with their child, learning together in a relaxed atmosphere. Inspire Workshops are held for each year group across the academic year. The teachers plan fun, usually practical activities for children to work alongside their parent or guardian. The children always look forward to these events and it gives parents and guardians a chance to see the sort of activities their children do at school. They are a good social occasion and help teachers get to know the parents and guardians of the children they teach.


Feral and stray cats are a real problem in Australia. It is believed that more than 100 native species are under threat from Feral cats. Feral cats are a major cause of decline for many endangered species including the bilby, bandicoot and numbat. In addition Feral cats can carry infectious diseases which can be transmitted to native animals, domestic livestock and humans. Feral cats are found all over Australia and are predominantly nocturnal. They are carnivores, generally eating small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects depending on their availability.

Sande, Vol. 11, No. 3, 1995, p. 7-15 "What about socialization?" The first question many parents encounter when they announce they will home educate their children is not about legality or certification but about socialization. The issue of socialization and, related to it, the development of self-esteem in home schooled children is perhaps the greatest concern of educators, courts, and laypeople alike.. Vicki D.

Gotu Kola or Centella asiatica is an herbaceous creeping perennial that is native to the wetlands of China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the South Pacific. Gotu Kola has been used for thousands of years. In addition to being popular in traditional Indian medicine gotu kola has been used by the Chinese, Indonesians and many others for thousands of years. Ancient people praised Gotu Kola as a powerfully rejuvenating herb and was used to heal wounds, improve mental clarity and treat a variety of skin conditions such as leprosy, and psoriasis. It is also a major longevity herb Legend has it that master Chinese herbalist, Li Ching-Yuen lived to be over 250 as a result of taking Gotu Kola.


One theory in psychology research suggests that we all have a happiness "set-point" that largely determines our overall well-being. We oscillate around this set point, becoming happier when something positive happens or the opposite, afterwards returning to equilibrium. But this set-point, to a certain extent, can bereset. Although our general mood levels and well-being are partially determined by factors like genetics and upbringing, roughly 40 percent of our happiness is within our control,according to some experts, and a large body of research in the field of positive psychology has shown that happiness is a choice that anyone can make. As psychologist William James put it, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude."


There are two types of cross-bite, anterior and posterior. Anterior cross bite This is the term used when a patient’s front teeth close the wrong way around with the upper incisors behind the lower incisors instead of in front of them. This is sometimes referred to as a scissors bite. Patients with anterior cross bites often shift the lower jaw into an unusual but more comfortable position when they close their teeth together. This is called a mandibular shift. Anterior cross bites can be treated with either fixed or removable appliances. A removable appliance like the one shown, consists of an acrylic base plate, clasps for retention and springs to move teeth. A removable appliance was used to treat the case shown below. It was worn full-time for 6 months then for a further 4 months just at night as a retainer. Posterior cross bite

Year 5 and 6 journeyed to Baylab last week to take part in some hands-on Science! Last year they created bath bombs and lip balm so the children were expecting good things. They were not disappointed. When it was revealed that the children would be extracting their own DNA to make necklaces, there was an awful lot of excitement. The children were introduced to a range of scientific equipment and got the chance to practise and use all of it. They listened intently as DNA and its various applications were explained and they were enthusiastic in answering questions. In the end, they all came away with a necklace that contained a small vial of their own Deoxyribonucleic acid. Please note, Lyndhurst School will not accept cloned children as a replacement to the real thing!

Keep Your Dog Safe from Paralysis Ticks Forget about snakes, spiders and crocs – the tiny Paralysis Tick may be the deadliest animal that most Australian dogs ever cross paths with. About the size of a match-head, the Paralysis Tick carries a deadly poison. Researchers at the University of Sydney, estimate that 10,000 dogs are bitten by Paralysis Ticks each year, and approximately 500 dogs dies annually from Paralysis Tick poisoning! The good news is that Paralysis Ticks are highly preventable. Stay current on your dog’s flea prevention regimen, be aware of areas where Paralysis Ticks are likely to live, and thoroughly check your dog for ticks any time they have been exposed. We’ve put together a handy infographic that details other steps you can take to keep your dog safe from Paralysis Ticks and what to do if they be-come infected. - Designer:paralysis ticks - Report infographic


1- Dogs and humans have the same type of slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) and during this REM stage dogs can dream. The twitching and paw movements that occur during their sleep are signs that your pet is dreaming 2- Dogs’ eyes contain a special membrane, called the tapetum lucidum, which allows them to see in the dark. 3- Unlike, us, humans who sweat everywhere, dogs only sweat through the pads of their feet. 4- An adult dog has 42 teeth. 5- When a puppy is born, he is blind, deaf, and toothless. 6- All dogs, regardless of breed, are direct descendants of wolves and technically of the same species. 7- A dog’s whiskers which is found on the muzzle, above the eyes and below the jaws are technically known as vibrissae. They are touch-sensitive hairs than actually sense minute changes in airflow. 8- A one year-old pup is as physically mature as a 15-year-old human.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, turkey populations were exploding. A species that had nearly been extirpated hit an estimated high of almost 7 million birds in 2004 but has seen a slow decline since. The most recent population estimate by the NWTF, from 2014, is 6.2 million birds. That doesn’t seem like a precipitous decline, and it’s not occurring everywhere. Some biologists speculate that once-expanding populations have simply stabilized as the carrying capacity of the habitat is met. But in some states, especially some traditional Eastern wild-turkey strongholds, the numbers suggest something more troubling. In New York, the turkey population has dropped by 40 percent since 2010. In certain Tennessee counties, the harvest has fallen by half. In Arkansas, overall turkey numbers have plummeted by 65 percent (see sidebar at right). Imagine losing two-thirds of your turkeys.


HUNGER IN WEST VIRGINIA 1 in 6 struggle with hunger West Virginia suffers from a food insecurity rate of 15.3%. Thirty-seven counties are classified as either At-Risk or Distressed. These counties rank in the worst 25% of the nation's counties according to economic status indicators. Poverty is the #1 influence on food security and hunger. 1 in 6 people will visit a food pantry, soup kitchen or other feeding program in 2017. These people may be your neighbors, friends or family members. Many families struggle to access healthy, nutritious foods. These families live day to day, and often have to make a choice between healthy foods and living expenses.


What is Rust Bluing? Rust bluing for barrels and magazine tubes is a process that only a few master gunsmiths practice. Coating the clean parts with a rust bluing solution, allowing it to rust, and boiling it in clean water converts the rust from ferrous oxide to ferric oxide. This velvet is cleaned off, and the process is repeated until the desired depth of blue-black color is established. This creates a very durable, rust-resistant finish. Although time-consuming, we consider rust bluing a very durable method of bluing that produces a durable finish of “softer” appearance that is worthy of the investment of time and effort.

Bonaparte family loved the art and loved taking it for themselves. However, in Naples and with St. Januarius, they gave up. Napeoleon suggested to his brother-in-law Joachim Murat – who was just elected King of Naples – to show his devotion to St. Januarius. In 1808, Murat decided to offer one of the most precious object of the Museum of Treasure: The gold silver monstrance has two cherubs that hold up the sunburst decorated by other small cherubs and clouds with rubies. It was not his only gesture of devotion: Murat decided that the Chapel of the Treasure in the cathedral was of absolute competence of the Deputation. It was an organization that still today safeguards its preservation. After Murat, Ferdinando IV ordered to sell the monstrance but the Deputation did not carry out the directive.

What Causes Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)? Doctors are not sure what causes PCOS. They believe the following might play a role: - Weight gain or obesity - Higher levels of insulin in the body than usual and insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use sugar available in food for energy. When someone has insulin resistance, the body does not use insulin properly. - Higher levels of androgens (male hormones) in the body than usual


The conference ‘Better Evaluation and Assessment to Improve Teaching and Learning’ will explore how assessment and evaluation can best support the acquisition of key competences for learning.

Blue-black grassquits inhabit scrublands, grasslands and cultivated landscapes up to 2,600 meters. Outside of the mating season they live in flocks and forage on the ground for grass seeds, berries and insects. During courtship males lift up into the air several times per minute, beating their wings, singing and displaying the white underside of their wings. Brooding of the 2–3 eggs is carried out by both sexes for 12 days. Status according to Red List:Least concern (LC)

The Future of Natural Gas is the fourth in a series of MIT multidisciplinary reports examining the role of various energy sources that may be important for meeting future demand under carbon dioxide emissions constraints. In each case, we explore the steps needed to enable competitiveness in a future marketplace conditioned by a CO2 emissions price. Often overlooked in past debates about the future of energy in the U.S., natural gas is finding its place at the heart of the energy discussion. Natural gas is a major fuel for multiple end uses — electricity, industry, heating — and is increasingly discussed as a potential pathway to reduced oil dependence for transportation. In addition, the realization over the last few years that the producible unconventional gas resource in the U.S. is very large has intensified the discussion about natural gas as a “bridge” to a low-carbon future.


Has become a key competence in our daily life in the Nordic countries. And it is more than that. Digital competence can open roads to more democracy and makes new arenas for active citizenship. In a Nordplus project, Dldact, we have selected many good examples of how people in different countries have taken opportunities of digital tools to involve people in social activities and democratic processes. It is amazing how digital competence generates active citizenship.


As the impacts of climate change are felt more forcefully around the globe, decision makers are asking, with increasing urgency, how they can make their communities and businesses more resilient. One obvious place to start is infrastructure. To address this, the Hoover Institution convened a yearlong collaboration with leading experts and practitioners in development banks, government agencies, universities, private firms, non-governmental organizations, and professional associations. It drew on diverse perspectives to the challenges of resilience, including physical and social science, engineering, policy, finance, and education. The resulting paper lays out seven strategies for developing more climate-resilient infrastructure.

Despite the fact that many people with disabilities want to work, employers can be reluctant to hire them due to untrue assumptions. However, not hiring someone based on hiring myths is against the law. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) makes it illegal to discriminate against people with disabilities and ensures that everyone has the same opportunities to participate in their communities. Although the ADA was signed into law in 1990, negative assumptions or myths about people with disabilities are still prevalent. Here are 8 debunked myths about the ADA and hiring people with disabilities.


Aug 31, 2011 Free Trade vs. Protectionism According to Prof. Don Boudreaux, free trade is nothing more than a system of trade that treats foreign goods and services no differently than domestic goods and services. Protectionism, on the other hand, is a system of trade that discriminates against foreign goods and services in an attempt to favor domestic goods and services. In theory, free trade outperforms protectionism by bringing lower cost goods and services to consumers. In practice, the benefits of free trade can be seen in countries like America and Hong Kong. Both countries have a relatively high degree of free trade, and, as a consequence, have experienced an explosion of wealth. For more, visit LearnLiberty.org.


Threats to lynx population in Poland Until 1995, hunting was the major cause of lynx mortality in Poland. Due to excessive hunting until the mid 1980’, the range of the species decreased significantly. Lynx was exterminated i.a. in the Piska Forest and the Nidzicka Forest. Neither the introduction of strict protection in 1995 nort the hunting ban contributed to the expected spontaneous recolonization and to the increase in range with new favorable habitats. The Lynx population in Poland remains sparse (only 200 individuals) and divided into small isolated fragments. In order to ensure lynx population survival in Poland it is crucial to take comprehensive protective measures aimed at recreating lynx metapopulation.


Missouri is part of the Mississippi Flyway and provides important migration and winter habitat for waterfowl that are produced in the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada and the northern United States. In most years, Missouri winters significant numbers of mallards across the state. Southeastern Missouri comprises an important portion of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, known regionally as the Delta, which provides reliable, high quality waterfowl habitat including bottomland hardwoods, moist-soil wetlands and flooded agricultural fields. DU has worked to conserve more than 117,000 acres of waterfowl habitat throughout Missouri. Our goal is to perpetually secure habitat and the future of Missouri as a key migration area for migratory waterfowl in North America. Your support of DU will help us achieve that goal.

White flowerheads are produced by Haemanthus albiflos, but also by H. humilis, the rabbit’s ear that may also flower pink. H. albiflos, the white painted lady, generously flowers any time during the year apart from late spring into the beginning of summer. This blooming season may be shorter though, peaking in autumn. The large bulb produces a sturdy annual flower stalk topped with a white brush-like flowerhead, a compact umbel, replete with small funnel-shaped flowers. Tall white stamens protrude from the flowers as in the picture, adorned with yellow anthers. The fleshy broad bracts at the flowerhead base taper to rounded tips. Their whitish surfaces have fine green parallel lines near these tips (Manning, 2009; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984).


Adults Japanese Beetle Season Adult beetles typically emerge from the ground sometime between May and June depending on weather conditions of the current year combined with when the season was the year prior. The adult Japanese Beetle typically lives about 30 to 50 days. During this time, the female may lay 40-60 eggs. Grub Japanese Beetle Season The season for Japanese Beetle grubs starts about 1-2 weeks after the adult female begins laying the eggs in the soil. The larva develops quickly and are nearly full size by late August. The larva spends about 10 months in the soil as larva before going into a pupal stage and then emerging as adults.


®KEYMANDA MANGANESE is a Water soluble fertilizer contain 14% of Manganese chelate by ( EDTA & carboxylic acids ) ®KEYMANDA MANGANESE Cure physiological dieses caused by the Manganese deficiency , Easy & fats absorb by the plant tissue Manganese (Mn) is an important plant micronutrient and is required by plants in the second greatest quantity compared to iron. Like any other element, it can have a limiting factor on plant growth if it is deficient or toxic in plant tissue. It is similar to iron in many ways, and manganese deficiency or toxicity is often mistaken for iron deficiency or toxicity. Manganese is used in plants as a major contributor to various biological systems including photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen assimilation. Manganese is also involved in pollen germination, pollen tube growth, root cell elongation and resistance to root pathogens.


Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds by Vincent van Gogh Vincent van Gogh completed Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds in the summer of 1890. In July, Vincent wrote to his mother and his sister Wil that he was painting a vast plain of wheat "as boundless as the sea." Van Gogh related the colors as a harmonious range of blue, white, pink, and violet, with the green and yellow wheat shining under a clear sky. Vincent van Gogh's own emotional state matched this tranquil subject: "I am in a mood of almost too much calmness, in the mood to paint this." In Vincent's last days, we find the artist returning to his earliest influences, Impressionism and Japanese prints. Read on to learn how these manifested in one of his final paintings.

The Aphid Advisor app is a decision-making tool to help determine whether a control action is warranted for Soybean Aphids (Aphis glycines) on soybeans in the province of Ontario, Canada. This app uses aphid and natural enemy numbers, as well as expected population growth rates, to indicate whether there are enough natural enemies to keep aphid populations below action thresholds or if an insecticide application may be needed. The app is based on research by Rebecca Hallet at the University of Guelph in Ontario. The app user enters the number of aphids found on a representative sample of soybean plants. The next step is to scout for any beneficial aphid predators that can keep aphid populations in check. Once aphid counts and beneficial predators are accounted for, the app will generate an outcome that will say spray, don’t spray or wait. SEE MORE


Sucrose (Sucrose, granulated sugar, caster sugar etc.; there are many variations of this sugar on the market, varying from brown sugar crystals to white icing sugar) This disaccharide is extracted from sugar cane and sugar beet. Sucrose, like other types of sugar, belongs to the group of carbohydrates. It consists of one molecule of α-D-glucose and one molecule of β-D-Fructose. These two molecules are bound by an α,β-1,2-glykosidic link. The enzyme "sucrase" breaks the sugar sucrose down into two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) in the intestine. If this enzyme is either not present or if it is produced in insufficient quantities, then this is called sucrose intolerance. Food Intolerance Network

Why is our 12 year old Satsuma shedding fruit right now. The fruit is one to 1 1/2 inches in diameter and is yellow. Lost 8 today alone. The tree is about 12 feet tall and at least that in diameter. Nothing is growing under it except a little bit of lawn on one side. It gets watered every other day. We fertilized it earlier, at the recommended time and rate. Certified GKH Gardening Expert Several things can cause fruit drop. One occurs when the tree has produced more fruit than it can handle. It will drop some to lighten the load so to speak. Also, stressors such as disease, insects or environmental stresses such as overpruning, drought or excessive rainfall also can cause fruit drop.


The ageing of skin The natural ageing process or intrinsic ageing is a natural process which begins in our mid twenties. Young,wrinkle free, skin is made up of a considerable amount of type 1 and type 7 collagen as well as elastin (to provide skin strength and that which makes the skin spring back when pinched). Young skin also contains Hyaluronic Acid, a sugar type complex, which holds moisture and makes the skin soft and supple. As we age, the ability to produce these elements diminishes and ageing fibroblasts produce "matrix metaloprotienases" - enzymes which inhibit collagen and elastin. This is where we get out lines and wrinkles. We further see extrinisic ageing - this is caused by such things as too much sun, smoking, gravity and even continual facial expressions.


Bacterial leafspot causes round, water-soaked spots on leaves and young stems. These develop into shrunken, brown areas about 1/8 inch in diameter. Destroy infected leaves and spray with basic copper sulfate. Bacterial crown gall forms galls on the lower stems. There is no chemical control. Remove infected plants and do not replant in the same spot. Shoot blight causes grayish to brown decayed spots on the leaves. The spots first appear at the leaf margins, then spread to the rest of the leaf. Infected flower clusters or twigs are killed. The disease is caused by Botrytis cinerea and can be controlled with sprays of benomyl. A number of fungi cause leaf spots. If needed, spray with basic copper sulfate. Rake up and destroy infected leaves. Powdery mildew causes a white powdery growth on the leaves. Spray with benomyl. Sulfur may cause defoliation.


Vertical Radiator PatternSeptember 30th Fact-of-the-Day The azimuth radiation pattern of an isolated vertical radiator is perfectly circular because energy flows equally in all directions from a point source and points along a vertical radiator are point sources in azimuth. No other type of practical antenna has a perfectly circular radiation pattern. However, a variety of other types of antennas have radiation patterns that are approximately circular. Antennas that have radiation patterns that do not vary more than 3 dB in azimuth often are considered to be 'omnidirectional.' ©2004 Martek International All rights reserved.

That is about to change for those in Florida. Geoplasma is developing a plant for St. Lucie County to vaporize 1,500 tons of trash a day into pressurized gas, which will then use turbines to generate 60MW, enough electricity for 50,000 homes. Although the process uses temperatures of up to 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, emissions from plasma gasification plants are considerably lower than standard waste incineration plants. Furthermore, nothing in the process goes to waste—inorganic trash, such as metals, condense in the process and can be used for roadbeds and heavy construction, and even the steam from the high temperatures can be used to generate more electricity. The plant is expected to go live by 2011.


EXAMPLES FROM THE WEB FOR BUOY "Something like that," agreed Madden, tossing his buoy into the water. That was the only time we've used the buoy sence I've been at the station. But I'll have a sharp look out after the 'buoy,' and he'll do well, you'll see. Then we rowed to a third buoy belonging to us and began hauling. If you see anything like a buoy, stop and back her as quick as you can. As the jib and foresail were taken off her, she shot up to the buoy. Then why isn't he giving us elbow-room on the outside of that buoy, sir? Meantime Murray had towed Jack steadily on towards the buoy. With the lid locked down, it might act as a buoy, and serve for a life-preserver. And you can hear the chains a-jangle as you go about and reach for the other buoy.

Information should be kept focused and ideally graphical so that it can be rapidly interpreted.


Why does Nichiren Shoshu offer evergreens? In society, we often use cut flowers to express love or respect, or for decoration. They are beautiful to look at, but flowers die in a few days. From the standpoint of Buddhism, cut flowers are improper offerings to the Buddha because of their ephemeral nature. Evergreens, on the other hand, will last a long time if you change the water in the vase(s) everyday. Official Emblem of Nichiren Shoshu The round crane mark is the official emblem of Nichiren Shoshu. This symbol is on our Liturgy of Nichiren Shoshu book, Nichiren Shoshu butsugu (altar accessories), and in Nichiren Shoshu temples around the world. It is a sacred symbol to Nichiren Shoshu tradition. It should not be used by lay members for personal use.


The Greylag Goose is a common species of goose across parts of Europe and Asia. It was previously known as the Wild Goose. The Greylag Goose is a large goose - the biggest species in its genus. They have pinkish legs and feet, with a orange-pink bill. The body plumage is a greyish-brown. Greylag Geese breed in wetland habitat. Some populations are migratory, while others remain on territory year-round. The Greylag Goose is the ancestor to domestic goose species, such as the Embden Goose.


The Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine dating back to the 6th century. The buildings that you can view at present date back to the 16th century. The shrine was devoted to worship of the goddesses(!) that the warlord who funded it, Kiyomori, owed thanks to for his successes. The shrine was built up over the bay so that it would appear to be floating on the water at high tide. Most famous is the floating torii of Itsukushima Shrine that acts as a gate to the shine. Like the rest of the buildings, it only appears to be floating at high tide. At low tide you actually can walk underneath it. There has been a gate here since 1168, although this torii only dates back to 1875.

Blood Pressure Home > Managing High Blood Pressure For many people, the first step in controlling high blood pressure is making certain lifestyle changes, such as: - Losing weight - Becoming more physically active - Eating a healthier diet - Reducing alcohol intake. Not only can lifestyle changes help control blood pressure, but they also often help improve your quality of life. However, it may take three to six months before your healthcare provider sees the full benefit of lifestyle changes on your blood pressure. If these changes alone do not help, certain medications can be prescribed.

Vermont elected two Federalists to the Fourth Congress. Vermont used a district system for electing its members to Congress. In most cases, only candidates who received more than 5 percent of the vote in a district are reported. Other candidates are reported as a group, but only if they in aggregate received more than 5 percent of the vote. In addition, percentages for each district may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. The term Dissenting Republican includes various breakaway factions of the Democratic-Republican party.

Definition of Kernel Mode in Network Encyclopedia. What is Kernel Mode? Kernel Mode is a privileged mode of operation in which processes can execute within the Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating systems. Processes running in kernel mode can access system memory and hardware. Kernel mode processes include components of the operating system that directly manage resources on the computer, such as the following: - Windows NT executive, which contains operating system modules that manage objects, processes, security, memory, and devices - The kernel, which manages core operating system services - The hardware abstraction layer (HAL), which isolates operating system code from hardware differences


Within XML a number of datatypes are defined. The data, dateTime and time are easy to understand and convert since the exact location of each measurement unit is known. E.g. the month is always on character 6 and 7. The duration however is a much more complex datatype to represent date and or time. Espessially when we need to convert a complex duration of e.g. 1 year, 2 months and 4 minutes to seconds. An URL contains a full path to a specific peace of information or the execution of a service. In some cases it is necessary to get the individual parts from the URL in XSLT stylesheets. This XSLT routine get any URL and decodes it into individual parts.


Alan Schoenfeld suggests that this problem tends to provoke immediate and widely divergent intuitive reactions (see some of the possibilities listed in the Hint He writes that he used this problem in a class where the discussions "focused on what it means to have a compelling mathematical argument. The general tenor of these discussions followed the line of argumentation outlined in Mason, Burton and Stacey's (1982) Thinking : First, convince yourself; then, convince a friend; finally, convince an enemy. (That is, first make a plausible case and then buttress it against all possible counterarguments.) In short, we focused on what it means to truly understand, justify, and communicate mathematical ideas." Teachers may want to use this problem in their classrooms to serve the same purposes.


There are so many activities you can do with a pumpkin! This is a great mini- theme. How Many Seeds? Cut the top off. Allow the class to scrape out the seeds. Clean the seeds and let them dry on newspaper at least 2 days. 1. Cut black construction paper into 5cm. x 8 cm. rectangles - approximately 150. 2. Cut a VERY large pumpkin out of orange paper, and put on bulletin board. 1. Show the class the seeds that they removed from the pumpkin. Each child will have the opportunity to estimate how many seeds there are. Write each child's name and their estimate on the board. The person who is closest wins the pumpkin. 2. Show the children how to glue 10 seeds on each rectangle, 2 vertical rows of 5 seeds. 3. After the glue is dry, have the children come up and help you put the rectangles on the pumpkin. Try to get 10 rectangles in each row. Work together to find the final tally.


A letter from George A Smith to a Brother Cliff. George A. Smith Papers Published by University of Utah - J. Willard Marriott Library George Albert Smith was an early leader in the Latter Day Saint movement. He served in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and as a member of the First Presidency of the LDS Church. Smith was a prominent leader in the settlement of many communities in southern Utah, and played a role in the chain of events preceding the Mountain Meadows Massacre on September 11, 1857. The city of St. George, Utah, may have been named after him.


Seasoning is the process of drying timber to remove the bound moisture contained in walls of the wood cells to produce seasoned timber. Seasoning can be achieved in a number of ways, but the aim is to remove water at a uniform rate through the piece to prevent damage to the wood during drying (seasoning degrade). Seasoned timber tends to have superior dimensional stability than unseasoned timber and is much less prone to warping and splitting in service. In higher grades of timber, particularly hardwoods, the process of seasoning can enhance the basic characteristic properties of timber, increasing stiffness, bending strength and compression strength.

Math is a lot like language. It describes the outside world in a way that other people can understand, provided you share the same language--or math. Math describes general truths about the world which can be applied to specific situations (e.g. if 2+2=4 then adding two apples to two oranges makes four fruits), but this is also true of some linguistic statements (e.g. if Dr Pepper bottles are maroon then the Dr Pepper bottle you're telling me about must be maroon). So I view math as sort of a special kind of language: one that consists of general statements which are universally true. Once it's reframed this way, it seems obvious that math was created. The relations which math describes were discovered, but we then created a system, mathematics, by which to codify those relations. N.B. Haven't actually read the article

Set in North Yorkshire, the story not only tells about a twelve-year old boy placed in a ‘select’ school to iron out his accent, but also provides a great opportunity to explore the role of accents in British society. Pre-reading activities are aimed at activating language necessary for understanding the story as well as raising cultural awareness. While-reading activities are focused on developing reading for detail. After-reading activities develop speaking skills with the use of vocabulary from the text. The extra activity suggests organizing a debate: ‘Global versus local’. This ‘kit’ was designed by Russian teachers and methodologists under the guidance of Alan Pulverness, Assistant Academic Director, Norwich Institute for Language Education, UK. The kit below includes activities for you to print and copy, the complete text, and teachers' notes.

Module 10 highlights the necessity and utility of multi-disciplinary collaboration in handling in cases of (suspected) child maltreatment. This module holds that multi-disciplinary cooperation in child protection is necessary to improve care for abused children and their parents. Child abuse occurs in a context with multiple problems and risk factors. No agency can intervene in all areas that need to be addressed with a family. Different service providers need to be included. Collaboration in child abuse cases contributes to better assessments and better access to child and family services. The module teaches how to work in a multi-disciplinary team. It focuses on teambuilding and reflection on conditions for collaboration between organisations and professionals from various agencies and disciplines. Special attention is paid to the sharing of information.


MS. HOLMES & MS. TAYLOR Dear First Grade Families, We are 1A, also known as the Persevering Pirates. Thank you for entrusting us with your children's education. We are going to have a wonderful year together. We have been learning about taking apart subtraction problems, adding to addition problems, and using addition and subtraction within 20 to solve world problems in math. In Literacy, we have been learning about different genres of text such as fiction, informational, and fantasy, blending words, and writing about different things. Also, we get to practice what we know by going on to Moby Max in school and at home. We are looking forward to continuing our work together in order to help our students be successful.

The while loop is Python allows us to create this conditional loop. You must indent the code that is part of a loop. Try the following code. Remember that the text following the pound/hashtag symbol are comments and not executed by the interpreter. #Create a variable to use as our counter i=0 #What number does the user want us to count to sCountTo=input("Tell me a number and I will count up to it: ") #input returns a string so convert it to an int iCountTo=int(sCountTo) #Here is our while loop while(i<=iCountTo): print(i) i=i+1 #The loop is complete print("Done!")


Lysine is an amino acid (building block of protein). Lysine is used for treating cold sores, and is also used to improve athletic performance. Lysine helps your body readily absorb calcium and reduces the amounts of calcium excreted from the body in urine. Increasing your intake of lysine may help enhance your athletic performance. Amino acids such as lysine are the building blocks of proteins. In conjunction with other amino acids in your body, lysine may help maintain lean body mass and healthy growth and development.


This week you should have learnt how to define a thermodynamic system as a quantity of matter which can exchange energy with its environment as well as absorb and release energy. We can design systems that release energy in forms that are useful to us and it is especially convenient if these operate in cycles so that useful energy, that is the capacity to do work, is repeatedly released. See the Key Relationships PDF at the bottom of the page to reflect on what you have covered this week Next week, we will look at how we can utilise energy flows into and out of a system in the form of heat and fluid flow. © The University of Liverpool


Ribosomes are complex molecules made of ribosomal RNA molecules and proteins that form a factory for protein synthesis in cells. Mitochondria are organelles in the cytoplasm of cells that function in energy production.

Ribosomes are the cellular machines that carry out translation, in this tutorial we will focus on the basics of it's structure and function, as well as the several locations we will find them.


I keep on forgetting to correct my use of terms. The substitution cipher in the last postings is really a one-way hash function. That is, you can not reverse the ciphering process and get the, in this example, domain name. This is because more than one character is mapped to a single digit. In the demonstration grid all instances of 'a', 'g','m', and 's' are replaced with 1. And everything that is not between 'a' and 'x' is replaced with 0. This is a one-way hash. The most famous is the MD5.


In an era of greater school accountability, leadership matters. For decades, principals have been recognized as vital to the effectiveness of schools, but strong empirical evidence on the extent to which, and the ways in which, school leaders matter has not been available. CALDER researchers have advanced our knowledge in this area by skillfully drawing on rich state longitudinal databases. This brief synthesizes new findings on the effectiveness and distribution of principals, the characteristics of good leadership, and how best to prepare principals for this increasingly demanding job.

Some students also have difficulty understanding how to cite textual evidence or what should be included when they cite from the text. This resource provides a strategy the students can easily recall and use while responding to a written-response question. The R.A.C.E.S. acronym for citing text evidence can be used to support a statement or written response questions. Labeling the citing text evidence process allows students to see the connection between the steps when answering evidence-based questions. It will give the students support on what should be included in the citing text evidence process. Thanks for your support! Literacy Art by Iris©


A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars is a charming picture book about the vastness of the universe, but it is also about your own uniqueness and importance. This book is a great way to help you add science topics to your bedtime story hour. You will learn many cool facts. Like the fact that the Earth is covered in three trillion trees. Or that seven billion people weigh about the same as ten quadrillion ants. This stuff is important to know. It is illustrated by New York Times-bestselling artist Isabel Greenberg.


A domestic cat gave birth last month to an endangered African black-footed kitten, scientists announced yesterday, raising hopes for the species survival. The kitten, named Crystal, was born at the Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species in Algiers and is the sister of two black-footed kittens born last year. All the kittens were conceived through in vitro fertilization, but Crystal is the first to be carried by a domestic cat. "It gets along beautifully with the domestic cat mother," director Earle Pope said. "They don't know, or do not care, that it's a different species." Read more at The Times-Picayune

Scientists set out to identify the approximately 25,000 genes in human DNA. They've been able to pinpoint the genes and patterns responsible for how each one of us will uniquely turn out. The mapping of the genome was completed some time in 2003, years before they had expected to finish. 2 Comments Click here to read/write comments


Some chemotherapy drugs can damage your hair cells. Cooling of the scalp is a proven approach to reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss that has been used successfully by thousands of patients worldwide. The reduced temperature results in a reduced blood flow to the scalp area so that less chemotherapy reaches the hair cells. Hair cells are therefore not exposed to the full dose of chemotherapy and may be able to survive the chemotherapy treatment. In addition, cellular metabolism within the hair cells is slowed down. As a result, hair is less likely to fall out. Modified on: Tue, 17 Oct, 2017 at 11:17 AM Did you find it helpful?Send feedback Sorry we couldn't be helpful.

Flash flooding can occur in or near mountainous areas, on small streams and even in large cities. Water levels can suddenly rise in heavy rainstorms, leaving little time before small streams and drainage ditches become raging rivers. Sometimes a flash flood can unleash its deadly force in just a few minutes. Police and fire department barricades are there for your protection. DO NOT drive around them. Flood waters covering roads or bridges have more force and power than you might think. Your local Emergency Manager can assist you with creating your disaster plan and answer your questions about disaster preparedness in your area. Feel free to contact the Nelson County Department of Emergency Services to assist with any questions you may have on disaster preparedness.

Called erythrocytosis, an elevated red blood cell count means that the bloodstream has too many red blood cells, according to Mayo Clinic. Erythrocytosis develops for various reasons, including the body's need to compensate for low oxygen levels due to a poorly performing heart or lungs. Low oxygen levels at high altitudes may also cause an increase in red blood cells, advises Mayo Clinic. An increase in red blood cells may mean the patient's kidneys are releasing too much of the protein erythropoietin. If the oxygen-carrying capacity of existing red blood cells decreases, the body may produce excess red blood cells, explains Mayo Clinic. Dehydration, carbon monoxide poisoning and congenital heart disease in adults can also lead to erythrocytosis.


The Studio Boat by Claude Monet Claude Monet painted The Studio Boat in 1874. Shortly after Monet moved to Argenteuil, he bought a boat and converted it into a floating studio. He kept it moored near his home and used it to get a vista of the riverbank from the water. As seen here, he also painted it from the bank to study the effects of shadow and reflection at a distance.

This Shabbat most synagogues will read the Torah portion Tetzaveh, in which God tells Moses what clothes the priests should wear when serving in the Temple — a hat, trousers, tunic, and belt, and additional garments for the High Priest — and also how to make them. But the Torah doesn’t say who sewed them. Ellen Frankel answers: Who do you think? This from her Five Books Of Miriam: A Woman’s Commentary on the Torah: …We can make a pretty good educated guess! Given that women have been the primary weavers and tailors in every culture since before recorded time, it’s likely that it was the Israelite women who knit, sewed, and ripped.

David Neeleman, the serial entrepreneur with four successful airlines under his belt, is looking to tackle one of aviation’s most acute problems: the price of jet fuel. The notion of converting a gas into a liquid jet fuel is not as technically far-fetched as it may initially sound. In Qatar, Shell (RDSA) has built an $18 billion GTL (gas-to-liquid) plant that produces jet fuel from gas at a cost of $80 per barrel. A Qatar Airways flight in 2009became the first to be powered by fuel derived from gas. While that price is too high for worldwide feasibility, Neeleman said that cutting it to $40 would be a “game changer” that would make natural gas a better alternative-fuel source than current research into fuel sources such as jatropha, algae, and other biofuels.

Gender and food security Food and Agriculture Organization The World Bank MetadataShow full item record This is a module in the "Gender in Agriculture Sourcebook" published by the World Bank, UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Fund for Agricultural Development. This module examines the critical role that women play in food production and agricultural development. Women consistently have less access than men to resources and opportunities throughout the production chain. By removing such inequalities and incorporating women in decision making processes, food and nutritional security can be achieved and agricultural, economic, and social development enhanced.

Image produced by R.R. Hogan, University of Cambridge. This pretty picture looks like something you'd see through a kaleidoscope, but it's more than a bit of fun. It's an image of a two-dimensional crystal — but not as you would see it if you looked at it. Instead, it shows the Brillouin zones of the crystal, which give important information about how waves, such as light or X-rays, pass through it. The picture, created by R.R. Hogan, is one of the images that appear in the book 50 visions of mathematics, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. To find out more about crystals and what can happen when you bombard them with waves, read Shattering crystal symmetries.


Predict the major product of the following reaction, and give a mechanism to support your prediction. Step 1 </p> In the reaction given ethylbenzene reacts with N-Bromosuccinimide in presence of light to the product . We have to find the product and mechanism involved in the reaction . Step 2</p>N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a brominating and oxidizing agent that is used as source for bromine in radical reactions (for example: allylic brominations) and various electrophilic additions. The NBS bromination of substrates such as alcohols and amines, followed by elimination of HBr in the presence of a base, leads to the products of net oxidation in which no bromine has been incorporated.


An embedded system is a controller with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. Modern embedded systems are often based on micro-controllers. A micro-controller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit which contains a processor core, memory, and programmable input and output peripherals. As Embedded system is dedicated to perform specific tasks therefore they can be optimized to reduce the size and cost of the product and increase the reliability and performance.


tulips in raised bed gardens Will tulips planted in raised bed gardens make it through winter, or likely freeze out. Anoka County Minnesota tulips It is likely they will freeze out. Tulips have to overwinter in dry soil. Dry soil freezes harder than wet so tulips are planted at a depth of about 8 inches and have a large mass of soil around them. You might try moving only half the bulbs. If we get snow cover that will protect them I wouldn’t expect them to survive for many years but the newer fancy varieties don’t survive for many years regardless.


WASTE vegetable oil from schools and restaurants is to be turned into an environmentally-friendly fuel at the UK's first worker-owned biodiesel plant. The six workers at Sundance Renewables all earn an equal wage and own an equal share of the co-operative non-profit making company in Carmarthenshire. Social Justice Minister Edwina Hart visited the Ammanford company yesterday to open the plant where Sundance hopes to produce 7,000 litres of fuel a week using around 8,000 litres of oil. The company will collect the used oil from local kitchens, filter it and turn it into a fuel that can be used to run almost any diesel vehicle. Biodiesel costs as much as normal diesel and cars running on it perform in the same way as those on regular fuel, but it does not contribute to carbon dioxide levels and does not damage the environment. If spilt, it can be burned off cleanly without harmful fumes.


3. Context - Legislation and Policy The END was transposed into the Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (see Section 1 of this Action Plan). The definitions used as part of the noise mapping process are evident in the Scottish regulations. A useful summary of the regulatory framework is available in the Scottish Governments Draft Guidance on Noise Action Planning . The action planning process for the first round of noise mapping resulted in the publication of a new planning advice note in Scotland ( PAN 1/2011 and the accompanying TAN). This planning advice note aims to ensure that Noise Management Areas ( NMA) and Quiet Areas ( QAs) (see Section 5) are now an acknowledged part of the baseline for management of environmental noise and should be included as a material planning consideration.


University of Ljubljana, Slovenia There are several strategies for implementing exact computation with real numbers. Two common ones are based on interval arithmetic with forward or backward propagation of errors. A less common way of computing with exact reals is to use Dedekind's construction of reals as cuts. In such a setup a real number is defined by two predicates that describe its lower and upper bounds. We can extract efficient evaluation strategies from such declarative descriptions by using an interval Newton's method. From the point of view of programming language design it is desirable to express the mathematical content of a computation in a direct and abstract way, while still retaining flexibility and control over evaluation strategy. We shall discuss how such a goal might be achieved using techniques that modern programming languages have to offer.


- Cleoniceras sp. - Middle Cretaceous Age (Albian Stage – 150 Million Years Old) - Republic of Madagascar – an island country in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Southeast Africa. - Specimen measures 4″ wide Ammonites are an extinct group of marine invertebrate animals similar to the modern nautilus. (Cephalopoda) Like the nautilus, ammonites had a soft body with tentacles that emerged from a hollow chambered shell utilized in the manner of a submarine’s ballast tanks. Ammonites are often identified by their shell ornamentation and the structures of the wall that divide the shell’s chambers.


Members of this diverge group are common to many marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. The cup-shaped ascocarp of the ascomycete shown here gives this species its common name: orange peel fungus. This phyla contains over 65,000 species. Commonly called sac fungi or cup fungi for the cup-shaped fruiting bodies of many ascomycetes, this group includes many of the delicious, edible fungi. Most multicellular ascomycetes reproduce asexually by forming asexual spres called conidia.


An estimated eight thousand soldiers set in battle formation were created to accompany Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a united China to the grave during the Qin dynasty from 221-206 BC. This incredible archaelogical wonder was discovered accidentally by peasants building a well in 1974. Three vaults were found, each containing warriors in various battle formation. The first vault is the largest, containing roughly one thousand soldiers and roughly ten thousand bows, arrows, swords and spears. The second vault is slightly smaller and thought to hold even more soldiers. The third vault is much smaller than the first two with only 68 figures and a chariot. Although the Terracotta Army is estimated to be eight thousand strong, only around a thousand have been excavated. If you inspect the soldiers up close, you’ll notice that each soldier has unique facial expressions.


Learning Event – Organized by IUFRO and EFI (European Forest Institute) During Forest Day 3 in Copenhagen (UNFCCC-COP15) Boreal and temperate forests are likely to be particularly affected by climate change because they are generally temperature-limited. With climate change advancing, their role as a major sink for atmospheric carbon is at risk. This session informed participants about this and other key impacts and vulnerabilities and discussed adaptation priorities and implications for forest management. The learning session also explored how lessons from the EU programme Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) could be used for forest-based climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Needed Material: 4ml Serum or 30ml Urin PCP (Pentachlorophenol), is a standardized oil-borne preservative used commercially for preserving wood. PCP was used as a herbicide, defoliant, mossicide and disinfectant. Due to its high toxicity and its slow biodegradation, the use of PCP has declined. PCPs are stored in fatty tissue. Side effects of a chronic exposure to wood preservatives are allergies and a general increase in chemical sensitivity. PCP can be detected for several weeks after exposure. Needed Material: 5ml Heparin blood Besides its agricultural uses, Lindane (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane) was used in forestry for wood and timber protection (also see Pesticides). Karmaus W., Wolf N. Reduced Birthweight and Length in the Offspring of Females exposed to PCDFs, PCP, and Lindane. Environmental Health Perspectives. Vol 103. No12, 1995


Coca-cola has developed new dispensing machines that contain up to thirty flavors that can produce up to 100 different types of soda. The machines can be reset realtime and communicate so that coke can introduce a new soft drink and observe sales results immediately. This is “rapid protoyping,” “probe and learn,” and “effectuation” for sweetened drinks — strategies usually associated with high tech products. Read the details in the Information Week article: The next step? Why not employ the technology in vending machines and allow users to create their own drinks? COLA CO-CREATION


NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope 26 years ago on April 24, 1990. In celebration they decided to give us this birthday present. The image is of the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635). The bright star inside the blue bubble is a raging inferno that emits a solar wind of hot gases moving at 4 million miles per hour. Contact between the hot expanding gases and the cold gases in interstellar space creates the outer edge of the bubble. When oxygen is hot enough it emits the blue light seen in the image. The bubble is seven light-years in diameter. (!!) That’s roughly 1.5 times the distance between our sun and Alpha Centauri, the star closest to our solar system. The star that is creating the bubble is 45 times as massive as the sun. If you think the picture is amazing, check out this video.


In the poem If—, does the speaker warn his reader to be careful in spite of ideals? Give two examples from the poem to highlight this. I think the speaker does warn the reader to be careful concerning ideals in the poem's second stanza, yes. He describes the value of being someone who "can dream—and not make dreams your master." In other words, he does not want to see people become slaves to their dreams: dreams and ideals are wonderful, but it is also important for us to be...

Java API for XML Binding (JAXB) Tutorial JAXB stands for Java architecture for XML binding.It is used to convert XML to java object and java object to XML. JAXB defines an API for reading and writing Java objects to and from XML documents. It provides mechanism to marshal (write) java objects into XML and unmarshal (read) XML into object. JAXB Marshalling Example: Converting Object into XML : Create a new Java project called "JAXBMARSHALLING" Create POJO Class Employee inside com.example.jaxb package. No extra jaxb libraries are required if you are using JDK1.6 or above, because JAXB is bundled in JDK 1.6. In this tutorial we will see how to generate java classes from XSD in Eclipse IDE.We are going to use MOXy JAXB implementation which is available as part of Eclipselink project.


Introduction to Nutrition and Digestion Nutrition refers to the activities by which living things obtain raw materials from the environment and transport them into their cells. The cells metabolize these raw materials and synthesize structural components, enzymes, energy-rich compounds, and other biologically important substances. All the elements and compounds taken into a living thing are nutrients. Animals, including humans, are heterotrophic organisms, and their nutrients consist of preformed organic molecules. The organic molecules rarely come in forms that are readily useful, so animals must process the foods into forms that can be absorbed. This processing is called digestion.


When motorists drive out Nebraska Highway 2 through the Sand Hills, they will encounter a stark, unique beauty in the landscape and some of the strangest industrial ruins plopped down in the middle of the grasslands near Antioch – or about 15 miles east of Alliance. The ruins are what’s left of a potash industry that thrived there for a few short years around First World War. The story began in 1911 when Congress passed a law to have the United States Geological Survey find sources of potash in the U.S. German sources were becoming expensive and politically unreliable.

Samoa is located east of the International Dateline between longitudes 171 and 172 degrees west and latitude 13 and 14 degrees south of the Equator. Samoa is compromised of two relatively large islands, Upolu and Savaii and eight smaller islands. The capital Apia, and the International Airport are both located on the island of Upolu. Samoa’s climate is pleasantly warm with an average maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius. From May until November, it is our dry season, whereas from November to March it is our rainy season. Samoa’s population is approximately 180,000.00. Samoans are the most populous full-blooded Polynesian race in the World. Samoan is the national language, although English is the official language of business. English is widely spoken, but you’ll find the following Samoan words useful to learn:


The notion that hallucinogenic drugs played a significant part in the development of religion has been extensively discussed, particularly since the middle of the twentieth century. Various ideas of this type have been collected into what has become known as the entheogen theory. The word entheogen is a neologism coined in 1979 by a group of ethnobotanists (those that study the relationship between people and plants). The literal meaning of entheogen is “that which causes God to be within an individual” and might be considered as a more accurate and academic term for popular terms such as hallucinogen or psychedelic drug. By the term entheogen we understand the use of psychoactive substances for religious or spiritual reasons rather than for purely recreational purposes.
