If I know that 10,000+ gallons of water were going to be dropped at a single point how could I model where it would flow. I would prefer something that worked in ArcGIS and could create a layer. ESRI has a good support section on hydrologic analysis. Also, there is a pretty good video tutorial here on how to create drainage networks in ArcMap. The attached image from ESRI shows a stream network created using ArcMap's hydrologic tools and a digital elevation model (DEM) available from USGS Earth Explorer.


First Steps with Embedded Systems This book is intended to fill the need for an intermediate-level overview of programming microcontrollers using the C programming language. It is aimed specifically at two groups of readers who have different, yet overlapping needs. The first group is familiar with C, but requires an examination of the general nature of microcontrollers—what they are, how they behave and how best to use the C language to program them. The second group of readers is familiar with microcontrollers, but is new to the C programming language and wishes to use C for microcontroller development projects. First Steps with Embedded Systems is useful both as an introduction to microcontroller programming for intermediate-level post-secondary programs and as a guide for developers coping with the growth and change of the microcontroller industry.

Definition of Nonstructural scoliosis Nonstructural scoliosis: A structurally normal spine that appears to have a lateral curve (scoliosis). Nonstructural scoliosis involves a temporary change of spinal curvature. This is caused by an underlying condition such as a difference in leg length, muscle spasms, or inflammatory conditions, (e.g. appendicitis), which may produce muscle spasm. Correcting the underlying problem treats this type of scoliosis. The spine itself needs no treatment. Nonstructural scoliosis is also called functional scoliosis. This is in contrast to structural scoliosis in which there is a fixed curve of the vertebrae (the bones of the spine).Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary Last Editorial Review: 6/14/2012 Find out what women really need.

It's been a bruising week for the tomato, arriving on the eve of the season meant to showcase the vegetable, err fruit, at its very best. Now, Finnish authorities have discovered a tomato pathogen on some of the nation's ornamental plants, which can spread the disease to tomatoes. The tomato apical stunt viroid - TASVd for short - slows the growth and ripening of tomatoes and turns their leaves brittle. The pathogen, which is merely a loop of RNA, may have originated in It's still early in the tomato season, and the juicy varieties that epitomise summer for many of us don't hit farmer's markets for at least another month. That should give tomatoes time to mount a Lindsay Lohan-like public relations campaign and shake all this bad press.Ewen Callaway, online reporter

As part of the Master of Environmental Management degree program, the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies offers a Specialization in Urban Ecology PURPOSE AND SCOPE This specialization applies the concepts of traditional ecology to urban ecosystems and seeks to understand how they compare to undeveloped environments. Most of the world’s inhabitants live in cities, and that proportion is growing daily. Thus, urban ecosystems are the ones people interact with directly most of the time. Urban ecosystems encompass all of the elements of rural areas, but include large human populations and their associated built environments. As a result, urban ecology must integrate classical ecology with other fields, including engineering, architecture, anthropology, economics, and law.

Comment on a listing Symptoms- A silver sheen can be seen on woody plant foliage, or on closer inspectation brown stains in the wood tissue. Discoloured foliage may appear on only one or two branches, which then begin to die back. Fruit may develop on dead wood, forming small, purple or brown structures covered in a white wool or fuzz. The spores produced cause new infections, occurring in fruit trees from September to May. Please note: Silvering may also result from severe insect infestation, cold weather conditions, extreme drought or malnutrition. Discuss Silver leaf with other Shoot members.


New Jersey seaside property owners face a dilemma - to rebuild or simply walk away. Faced with increasing sea level rise and predictions of more, potentially destructive storms in the near future, the vaunted Jersey Shore may have turned into a bad bet. U.S. Geological Survey scientist Jeffress Willliams says that rising sea levels and changing weather patterns make it likely that the coast will be hit by more frequent destructive storms. and other shoreline advocates say officials should consider restricting development to reduce the harm storms can do. They suggest relocating homes and businesses farther from the ocean, building more seawalls and keeping sand dunes high.


Callopora dumerilii is an encrusting bryozoan, found throughout the northern temperate zone. It is common from Norway to Madeira and into the Mediterranean.

One example is commenting: in c, we useas the syntax.Code:/*comment*/ but i see that the compilers accept c++ syntax within c code,as well: Another example is that some compilers acceptCode://commentwhich is used in c++, in c code whereas it should beCode:#include <iostream.h>similarly,i have seen in many places that many people use the c++command cout to print statements instead of printf and it works!Code:#include <stdio.h> Why is this so??Suppose that a compiler can also compile c++.Then also,the code is in a .c file.Then,why is the c++ code being accepted flawlessly?


Generations of children pulling out a World Book Encyclopedia or Encyclopaedia Britannica came to an end once this open-source online reference took off. Launched in 2001, Wikipedia now has 23 million articles and is the sixth most popular destination on the Internet. Traffic averages nearly 3 billion page views per month. Encyclopaedia Britannica, meanwhile, put an end to its print publishing business this year, after sales of the 32 volume set (priced at $1,395) fell to just 10 percent of its 1990 peak levels. Wikipedia's accuracy isn't always on target — something World Book and Britannica have pointed out regularly — but that hasn't stopped users from making Wiki the go-to spot for a quick fact check.


Nutrition Q & A Is Lactose Intolerance the Same as a Milk Allergy? Many people confuse lactose intolerance with an allergy to milk, but a milk allergy is quite different. Lactose intolerance occurs when your body cannot digest lactose, the carbohydrate in milk. Symptoms include gastrointestinal complications such as diarrhea, gas and cramping. But if you have a milk allergy, your body’s immune system thinks milk is a “harmful invader” and sends out antibodies to fight off the milk protein. The symptoms of a milk allergy are often similar to those of lactose intolerance. However, they usually are more severe and may include other symptoms such as itchy eyes, rash, runny nose and wheezing. People with a milk allergy must completely avoid milk products, while those with lactose intolerance may consume small amounts. Learn More About This Topic Food Allergies and Intolerances »

Species at Risk: Dusky shark (Carcharhinus obscurus) Among one of the slowest growing sharks in the world, the dusky shark takes 20 years to reach maturity and has a 16 month gestation period. This low rate of increase makes dusky sharks particularly vulnerable to exploitation. Globally, the dusky shark is considered “Lower Risk” or “Near Threatened.”. The dusky and sandbar sharks are hard to distinguish, especially when their fins are removed. As a result, managers are unable to determine the number of each species being caught and what the necessary protection measures should be. Oceana is working to require all sharks to be landed whole with their fins naturally attached.

Copper Chlorophyllin is a semi synthetic mixture of water soluble sodium copper salts derived from cholorophyll. They are tight molecular complexes that have been useful in fighting various acrcinogenic diseases and therefore are greatly preferred substances. Vegetables containing high amounts of cholorophyllin include: - Bell peppers - Brussels sprouts - Green cabbage It is subjected to a process where the magnesium present in its centre is removed (by placing it in an acid bath) and replaces with copper. Although the content of different copper chlorophyllin may vary, two compounds commonly found in commercial mixtures are trisodium copper chlorine E6 and disodium copper chlorine E4.


The Enterogastric reflex is one of three extrinsic reflexes of the Gastrointestinal Tract. The reflex is stimulated by the presence of acid levels in the duodenum at a pH of 3-4 or in the stomach at a pH of 1.5. Upon stimulation of the reflex, the release of gastrin from G-cells in the antrum of the stomach is shut off. This in turn inhibits gastric motility and secretion of gastric acid (HCl). In addition to the Enterogastric reflex, the other two extrinsic reflexes of the Gastrointestinal Tract include the Gastrocolic reflex and the Colonoileal reflex.

Art & Architectureby arm3n2 Art & Architecture Main articles: Art in ancient Greece and Architecture of ancient Greece The art of ancient Greece has exercised an enormous influence on the culture of many countries from ancient times until the present, particularly in the areas of sculpture and architecture. In the West, the art of the Roman Empire was largely derived from Greek models. In the East, Alexander the Great's conquests initiated several centuries of exchange between Greek, Central Asian and Indian cultures, resulting in Greco-Buddhist art, with ramifications as far as Japan. Following the Renaissance in Europe, the humanist aesthetic and the high technical standards of Greek art inspired generations of European artists. Well into the 19th century, the classical tradition derived from Greece dominated the art of the western world.

FAO Goodwill Ambassador, Carl Lewis This episode of Frost Over the World aired from Friday, February 4, 2011. Can the world produce enough food to sustain its growing population? Even today one billion people are said to be starving. So, what will happen when the world's population increases from around seven billion to nine billion? Are there solutions available or are we faced with a future where hundreds of millions will die of hunger, where mass migration is the only escape and where food riots will become commonplace? As food prices reach a record high, Sir David talks to a panel of experts about the issue of feeding the world's growing population. He is joined by: Sir Gordon Conway, the former chief scientist for the British government; Matt Ridley, a food crisis 'sceptic'; Duncan Green from Oxfam; and Olympic champion and UN food ambassador, Carl Lewis.

Migration Info During winter, this flycatcher is most common in coastal Central America. On the Pacific slope, it prefers wooded ravines, while on the Caribbean side it is more often encountered in dense brush and wooded edge habitats. For a flycatcher, it migrates north relatively early, reaching its breeding areas in the northeastern states in late April. This early movement may in part be a result of this flycatcher's ability to subsist on relatively small insects, but may also be related to the extreme degree of territoriality it demonstrates on the breeding grounds. While most songbirds molt before leaving the breeding area, Least Flycatchers molt after migrating south in the fall. This delay in molting may help them reach their winter habitat and establish territories more quickly.

New school food standards proposed last week by the Obama administration could nearly double the amount of fruits and vegetables that more than 32 million kids eat every day. If these standards come into force, they could set American children on a healthier eating track that could last a lifetime. The proposed rule, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the newly-passed Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, could also save billions of dollars in future health care costs. Putting this plan into action seems like a no-brainer, but its expense, which USDA estimates at almost $7 billion over five years, is a major stumbling block. Nearly half of that cost would go to put more fresh produce on school breakfast and lunch menus. As we see it, $7 billion is a bargain when you consider the price of doing nothing. Read more


My youngest is getting ready to be confirmed and our priest gave him an article on St Patrick. It would appear that a number of scholars believe St Patrick came from near Haltwhistle. In Charles Thomas's book Celtic Britain (Thames and Hudson 1986) quotes from St Patrick's own writing giving the words VICUS BANNA VENTA BERNIAE Banna is the Anglo Saxon place for Birdoswald and Professor Thomas speculates that Berniae is Greenhead pass. You read more here. Apparently the landscape fits. Certainly, Birdoswald is evocative. One can imagine raiders crossing the Solway plain to capture him. So was St Patrick from Northumberland/Cumberland? There is definitely signs of post Roman occupation at the sight and some have claimed that King Arthur was there as well. Does it really matter as St Patrick did end up in Ireland? But it is something to think about. Happy St Patrick's day

Common courtesy and civility can be a rare occurrence in the hustle and bustle of daily life. It can be easy to get caught up in our many responsibilities and feel we just don’t have time to help others or stop to make a kind gesture. When was the last time you helped someone without expecting anything in return? I wish I could say I did this more often, and not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because research shows that committing acts of kindness is one intentional activity that can have a major influence on our level of happiness. Psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky reveals a plethora of information on how we can live a happier life in her wonderful book The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want. According to some of her research one way to boost positive emotions and well-being is to commit random acts of kindness.

With the thickest air of any moon in the solar system, Titan sports an atmosphere that, among other things, may produce rain showers of liquid natural gas. Atmosphere scientist Bob Whitten leads a research effort to investigate another peculiar effect on this Saturnian satellite: how cosmic rays interact with the smog in Titan’s air. In particular, he’s interested in learning how the electrical conductivity of this alien atmosphere depends on these incoming, high-energy particles, on haze, and on sunlight. While Titan is interesting in its own right, understanding the physics of its atmosphere might also provide clues to the conditions of early Earth’s own gaseous mantle. This cold, far-off moon, so seemingly unlike our own planet, may be a crystal ball offering insight into Earth’s very distant past.

Inflammation of the brain, typically resulting from a viral infection. This condition occurs in two forms: - Primary encephalitis – direct viral infection of the brain and spinal cord. - Secondary encephalitis – indirect viral infection that first occurs elsewhere in the body but eventually travels to the brain. Most cases of encephalitis are caused by a viral infection, but they can also be caused by other certain diseases that result in an inflammation of the brain. Symptoms of encephalitis include a sudden onset of fever, headache, nausea, visual complications, stiff neck and back, drowsiness, seizures and muscle weakness. Treatment procedures can include taking anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, medications to control brain swelling and pressure and fluid replacement techniques. Email This Post


National Institutes of Health - The primary NIH organization for research on Canker Sores is the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research Canker sores are small, round sores on the inside the cheek, under the tongue, or in the back of the throat. They usually have a red edge and a gray center. They can be quite painful. They are not the same as cold sores, which are caused by herpes simplex. Canker sores aren't contagious. They may happen if you have a viral infection. They may also be triggered by stress, food allergies, lack of vitamins and minerals, hormonal changes or menstrual periods. In some cases the cause is unknown. In most cases, the sores go away by themselves. Some ointments, creams or rinses may help with the pain. Avoiding hot, spicy food while you have a canker sore also helps. References and abstracts from MEDLINE/PubMed (National Library of Medicine)

BLADEN COUNTY (WWAY) -- Dozens of Bladen County third graders got a chance to learn outside of the classroom today. Ag’em Up Day gave students an opportunity to get hands-on while exploring different aspects of agriculture. Seven different stations were set up, which included lessons on cotton, soil, and swine just to name a few. Teachers say the event gave their third graders an understanding on how important agriculture is in Bladen County. The instructors for Ag'em Up Day were students themselves from both East and West Bladen High Schools. As for the third graders, they said it was very cool to see and touch the baby pigs.

Geisha: a woman trained as an entertainer in the Japanese tradition. Geisha were taught to sing, play instruments, dance compose and recite poetry, pour tea and other drinks, etc. Men paid to spend time with the geisha; generally, the transaction did not include sexual services. Traditionally, girls began training as geisha when they were as young as four or five years old. Today, they begin as teenagers, and become full-fledged geisha in their early twenties. Geisha became popular in the late eighteenth century. They lost status during the early twentieth century, as the line between geisha and prostitutes blurred, but today the profession is respectable again (and highly popular with tourists). The word "geisha" comes from gei meaning "arts" and sha or "person" - so literally, a geisha is simply an artist. See a gallery of geisha images here, both photographs and woodblock prints.


The Good News! Diabetes can be prevented and the risk can be greatly reduced through small behavior modifications. Reducing the Burden of Diabetes Through Prevention Reducing a pre-diabetic person’s weight by 5 to 7 percent can reduce his or her risk of diabetes by 60 percent. A 200-pound person only needs to lose 10 to 15 pounds, which can be done through small behavior modifications. Modifiable risk factors that greatly reduce the risk of diabetes includes: Working on these modifiable risk factors is easier said than done. It is essential to provide educational training for people diagnosed with pre-diabetes to ensure that it doesn’t progress to diabetes. Considering the personal and economic impact of diabetes on North Dakota citizens, prevention seems like the ethical and cost-effective choice.


10X pH 8.0 Recipe - 100mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0) - 10mM EDTA (pH 8.0) - Use Tris base and adjust the pH to 8.0 using HCl. - TE buffer is often used to store DNA. The EDTA in TE chelates Mg2+ ions necessary for most processes causing DNA degradation, and thus any residual DNA degradation activity will be suppressed by the presence of EDTA. However, EDTA, for the same reason, also prevents restriction digests, PCR, and ligations. So when using DNA that was suspended in TE you should keep track of the amount of EDTA in the mix to make sure there is still enough Mg2+ for your reaction to proceed successfully.


The blue whale Whales in the Museum This is the tympanic bone of a blue whale. It has been photographed from two different angles and is about the size of a human fist. The tympanic bone is unique to whales. It houses the bones of their inner ear. Unlike many bones in a whale's skeleton, the tympanic bone is very dense. You can sometimes find these bones washed up on the beach where they can be mistaken for worn flints.


Eyebeam Fellow Aaron Meyers and students at the drop-in program began a two-week coding endeavor to create the classic Pong game in Processing. Using the logic & coding language learned in previous weeks, students created the fundamental elements of the game, including the pong ball, velocity, and bouncing. Other game-mode features like gravity, pull, and interaction with a user's mouse defined the interactive possibilities that Processing has to offer. Next week, we'll be continuing work with the Pong game by creating more interactive elements. Tags: student residents, eyebeam, education, dropin

The way I learned to program was by sitting down and programming. Seriously. One thing that helped me was typing in a short program from a book or a magazine, and then changing it to add features or do different things. If you start with a well-designed program and keep it up, pretty soon you'll absorb good programming. That said, there are a couple of good books from O'Reilly and Manning Press that I would recommend. Learning Perl is one, and Elements of Programming with Perl is another. (The latter is my preference, as it teaches both Perl and programming.) Also, Perl comes with a load of good documentation, available by typing 'perldoc perldoc' right at the command line. You can learn most of the language from there (but much of it assumes you're already fairly familiar with programming in general)

Human papillomavirus may also play a role in some other types of cancer, such as anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, oropharyngeal, and squamous cell skin cancers. Also called HPV.


The Hindu temple is a religious site and signifies some ritual activity. The general perception of a samnyasin, on the other hand, is one not associated with ritual activity as that is seen as perpetuating worldly existence or samsara. This course offers a thematic and historical introduction to Hinduism for students of theology and religious studies. Focusing on the brahmanical tradition we will explore the textual sources, categories, practices and social institutions that formed that tradition. Primary texts in translation will provide the basis for reflection on issues such as dharma, renunciation, caste, and concepts of deity. We then move on to some of the major philosophical developments of the tradition, with particular emphasis on the Vedanta.


Vermont played key roles in the Civil War, and to help you discover the contributions of soldiers and civilians a new guide is available. Vermont and the Civil War Visitors Guide describes 46 places to visit. The guide will take you to New England’s best documented stop on the Underground Railroad, the factory where the gun milling machines that armed the nation were produced, and the resort where Mary Lincoln and her children summered in 1864. In Vermont towns and villages that look much the same as they did during the Civil War, you’ll experience the fervor of Abolitionists, the bravery and dedication of Vermont’s soldiers, and the drama of the northern-most land action of the Civil War.

"A baby chicken is a chick. It hatches from an egg!" Two simple sentences for writing practice…so much information behind them! We have read about baby chickens and parent chickens. We’ve discussed colors and sizes and names of chickens. We’ve talked about food for chickens, eggs for us. (No discussions of nuggets!)There have been thoughts about how crowded it is in an egg- “like being in a room with all the people in the world”. There have been comments about pet chickens and safety from coyotes. Discussions of other animals that hatch from eggs. All in all, a great lesson for spring!


- Historic Sites Bushy Run Battlefield The 213 acres of forested and grassy areas that comprise Bushy Run Battlefield, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, can be viewed as one large historical entity. The events that transpired here in August 1763, during Pontiac's War, forever set Bushy Run apart as a place of historical significance. The battle near Bushy Run and the events of Pontiac's War leading to the battle add to the understanding of the Indian-European culture clash, which is an important theme in American history. The battle also has a place in the broader study of American settlement and expansion, and possesses great significance in the realm of British, American and Indian military history.

They participated in a war against their enemy, the Kradin, in 2374. They were known to conscript new soldiers to fight for their cause through the extensive use of propaganda, psychotropic manipulation, and brainwashing. Commander Chakotay was a victim of those techniques after he was captured following the loss of his shuttlecraft. There were several small contingents. After Chakotay had been captured by the Vori, he was brainwashed and subsequently "rescued" by members of the Fourth Defense Contingent. Later, when Chakotay walked into Larhana settlement, he met Karya, whose brother Daryo was team leader of the Seventh Defense Contingent, which contained around twenty men. (VOY: "Nemesis")

One of five known manuscripts of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address goes on display today at the Library of Congress. The library will be displaying the what's known as the John Hay copy of the famous Civil War speech for six weeks through May 4 as part of the "Civil War in America" exhibition. The exhibit commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War through writings and firsthand accounts. Lincoln delivered the address in November of 1863 as part of the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Penn. following the battle there that summer. The Hay copy of the Gettysburg Address is believed to be the second draft of the speech. Lincoln gave it to Hay, whom was one of his two secretaries.

Definition: blocking of the action of an enzyme by a compound that binds to the free enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding and thus preventing the enzyme from acting on that substrate. The competitive inhibitor is often a substrate analogue and binds at the active site; however, this is not an absolute requirement for competitive inhibition. Saturating concentrations of substrate can remove the inhibition. Synonym(s): selective inhibition Search Stedman's Medical Dictionary Examples: glitazone, GI cocktail, etc.

I’m currently writing some lecture notes on R and I used the phrase “a R package” without thinking. Since the word following the article “a” was a consonant, I automatically went for “a” instead of “an”. The problem is that “R” sounds likes a vowel, so “a R package” grates on the listener. The correct rule is to use “an” when the word following the article “sounds like a vowel”. A quick google search suggests other people mess up too: - the correct phrase “an R package” – around 600, 000 hits; - the incorrect phrase “a R package” – around 150,000 hits. Who would have thought that people could be wrong on the Internet…


Matter in Extreme Conditions Plasmas, the fourth phase of matter (after solid, liquid, and gas), are responsible for the glowing clouds of matter we see in extreme conditions. Though on Earth almost everything we encounter is a solid, liquid, or gas, plasmas actually comprise 99% of the visible universe. A plasma is made when the electrons are separated from the outer atomic orbitals of a material, creating a sea of ions and moving charges. Stars are the most common example of plasma, but examples you may be familiar with include lightning, the hot stuff in neon signs, and the Aurora Borealis.

In 1790, the Revenue Cutter Service was created to ensure collection of import tariffs and commissioned the building of 10 vessels. What was the largest ship? In 1791, the 55-foot Massachusetts was built in Newburyport. It patrolled the coast for smugglers and escorted merchant ships to the Custom House. The Revenue Cutter Service was one of five federal services that now comprise the U.S. Coast Guard. That's why Newburyport is the official birthplace of the Coast Guard.


- Historic Sites Camp Floyd/stagecoach Inn State Park Museum Camp Floyd / Stagecoach Inn State Park Museum is Utah's link with the Civil War. The quiet streets of Fairfield hold the secrets of 3,500 troops, nearly one-third of the entire U.S. Army at that time, which were brought to Camp Floyd to suppress the rumored rebellion in Utah. With no rebellion taking place, the troops were recalled in 1861 with the outbreak of the Civil War. There are three historic buildings on site. Camp Floyd was built by the army in 1858 as a military equipment and provisions store; the Stagecoach Inn was built in 1858 as well, by John Carson as a hotel, and was restored from shambles in 1959; and the Fairfield District Schoolhouse was built in 1898 after Utah gained statehood.


What Does a High White Platelet Count Mean? Medical Author: Benjamin Wedro, MD, FAAEM Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD Viewer Question: What are some of the potential diagnoses when a person has a high platelet count? (Platelet count approximately 420?) Dr. Stöppler's Response: Platelets are the smallest cell-like structures in the bloodand are important for blood clotting and plugging damaged blood vessels. Platelet countsare usually done by laboratory machines that also count other blood elements such as the white and red cells. Normal platelet counts are in the range of 150,000 to 400,000 per microliter (or 150 - 400 x 109 per liter), but the normal rangefor the platelet count varies slightly among different laboratories.


This painting was based on sketches that Wilkie made around 1815 during a retreat to the Wiltshire countryside from his permanent home in London. It is believed to show a scene at Fisherton Delamere, near Salisbury. Shortly before the painting was exhibited at the British Institution in 1817, he wrote to the great art patron and amateur landscape painter Sir George Beaumont. Wilkie asserted that although landscape painting was entirely new to him, the picture was done with the sole object of teaching himself how to `paint an out-door scene with facility?. Wilkie was a great admirer of seventeenth century Dutch landscapes, and this practical scene of work and nature recalls the paintings of Jacob van Ruisdael and Meindert Hobbema, especially in the inclusion of the water-wheel motif.

Walking on Cans Large, empty cans (large coffee tins work well) and string Use large, empty cans (coffee tins are a good choice -- the cans need to be very sturdy) to make stilts for your preschooler. Poke holes on two sides of each can towards the bottom; the top of the tin, with the plastic top, will be the bottom of the stilts. Run string or thin rope through the holes to become handles. It's important to make sure that the string or rope is long enough to reach your child's hands at a comfortable height so that your child can keep the cans secured against his or her feet. Let your child practice walking and balancing. He or she will love feeling so tall!


Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”) Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.


Reading is supposed to expand one's horizons. It's supposed to enable people to experience lives and cultures and people they would otherwise never get to -- and maybe even discover that the people who live those lives aren't so very different. As it turns out, science fiction is a great educational tool for getting people to think seriously about the future. Imagining a world with actual people in it forces you to create not just the technologies of the future but societies with blind spots and ethical challenges. Robinson's story is gripping, funny, and rich with vivid characters. It describes a possible future in such vivid and exciting ways you can't wait for it to arrive. But Robinson doesn't just spell out future possibilities; he inhabits them.


Tendinitis is inflammation of the tendons, which are the tissues that connect muscles to bones. It can occur in any place where a tendon is located, but it is most common at the shoulders or heels, on the outside of the elbows, called tennis elbow, or on the inside of the elbows, called golfer's elbow. To help prevent Achilles (ack-kill-lees) tendinitis, warm-up before exercising by stretching and wear shoes that are well-cushioned. Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are caused by any repetitive motion of the elbow. Applying an ice pack will help stop the internal bleeding and reduce the swelling. If the pain persists, your doctor may prescribe medication. Physical therapy may also be helpful in speeding up the healing process and returning the tendon to a healthy, injury resistant state. For more information on tendinitis, talk with your health care provider.


Healthcare workers, in the U.S. and elsewhere, continue to suffer accidental needlestick injuries because their employers have been slow or reluctant to convert to needle safety devices, and because there are needle devices on the market that are safe in name only. Accidental needlestick injuries cause healthcare workers to be exposed to HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and many other bloodborne diseases. - Accidental needlestick injuries to healthcare workers are estimated to occur at a rate of about 800,000 a year in the United States alone. Studies show that a great many are never reported. - There are more than 20 bloodborne pathogens that can be transmitted by an accidental needlestick injury.


IVAR EKELAND provides a fascinating window into a barely recognisable period in science. In the 17th and 18th centuries philosophy, science and theology were inextricably intertwined as scientists and mathematicians sought the "best of all possible worlds" alongside theologians. Central to the story is the French physicist Mauperitus and his principle that everything in nature occurs in the way that requires least action. The idea was later modified by others but it offered great insights into many problems, from evolution to game theory.

South African Spring Most spring bulbs may be weeks from blooming outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere, but their South African counterparts are in all their glory in the Warm Temperate Pavilion. Like tulips, daffodils, and other familiar spring-blooming bulbs, South African bulbs and other geophytes are dormant in summer, an adaptation that allows them to conserve resources during the dry, hot stretches in their native habitat. But in South Africa, bulbs’ foliage continues to gather energy through their milder falls and winters, and they’re able to bloom in late winter or early spring. Here in Brooklyn, curator Karla Chandler simulates South African winters in the greenhouse by providing higher temperatures and more light than what’s outside. As their time approaches, she brings them into the pavilion so they will bloom for all to enjoy. Don’t miss them!


My 7-year-old son started second grade this year. Every morning he declares that he hates school, and he's not going to go. It's a struggle for us to get out the door. What can we do? Kids have many reasons for not wanting to go to school — separation from home and parents, bullies, assignments and grades, or a teacher. Talk with your child — and then perhaps with his teacher — to find out more about what's causing his anxiety and about his behavior at school. A school counselor or psychologist also might be able to help. Reviewed by: D'Arcy Lyness, PhD Date reviewed: October 2012


ProtostomiaArticle Free Pass Protostomia, group of animals—including the arthropods (e.g., insects, crabs), mollusks (clams, snails), annelid worms, and some other groups—classified together largely on the basis of embryological development. The mouth of the Protostomia (proto, “first”; stoma, “mouth”) develops from the first opening into the embryonic gut (blastopore). The coelom (body cavity) forms from a split in the embryonic mesoderm (middle tissue). In addition, cell fates become fixed at the first cleavage of the early embryo, so separated cells cannot form twins. Larval (immature) forms, if present, are called trochophores. The Protostomia constitute one of two divisions of the coelomates (animals with a body cavity, or coelom). Compare Deuterostomia. What made you want to look up "Protostomia"?

- uploaded: May 3, 2012 - Hits: 1988 Scientists say they have found what is believed to be the oldest traces of human blood ever. The blood cells were found on the remains of Otzi, Italy's prehistoric iceman who roamed the Alps 53-hundred years ago. Scientists used an atomic force microscope to examine a wound on Otzi that caused his death. They say the red blood cells found on the wound are similar to modern-day samples and show their ability to survive for thousands of years. The discovery may help lead to a more precise determination of the age of blood spots in crime investigations.

Wetland ecosystems are characterised by the amount and quality of their water, by their soils, by the species they host, as well as by interactions between these components. From an ecological viewpoint, a wetland is in a good state when its biological components are diverse, when its physical and structural integrity are maintained, and when it is functioning well. Biodiversity is one of the main components of a wetland. This notion covers the diversity of life at different scales: genes, species and habitats. Through this theme, the Observatory wishes to determine the health of wetland ecosystems, emphasising its two key components: water and life. The six MWO indicators currently monitored under this theme are:

A complete or full denture replaces the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older and reduce their ability to eat and speak. A denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth. This is especially important in the case of partial dentures.


Singularity is a mathematical term that refers to a point at which a mathematical object is undefined, either because it is infinite or degenerate. A simple example is the function 1/x. This function has a singularity at x = 0 because the fraction 1/0 is undefined. Another example is the center of a black hole, which has infinite density. In our standard model of cosmology, the universe we live in began as a spacetime singularity with infinite temperature and density.

The Multilateral Trading System: 50 years of achievement 'Half-way' point: the Montreal ministerial The Uruguay Round was supposed to last four years. Therefore, the ministerial meeting in Montreal two years later, in December 1988, was called the Mid-Term Review (seen here). The objective was to set the agenda for the remaining two years of the round. Instead, the Montreal meeting ended in a deadlock that was not broken until April the following year. By the time ministers met again in Brussels in December 1990, the talks were considerably behind schedule. It was clear the round could not end as originally planned at that meeting.

Baobab Trees, Tanzania Photograph by Tom Schwabel, My Shot Baobab trees frame a serene view of night skies in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. Some species of baobab trees can live for a thousand years—potentially reaching a stunning height of 80 feet (25 meters) and a diameter of 40 feet (12 meters). Photo Tip: Nighttime photographs almost always require long exposures. This means using a tripod to hold your camera perfectly still while the shutter is open, though you can sometimes find a solid surface to rest your camera on and trip the shutter with the camera’s self-timer.

Rudolph Gillings, a member of Macedonia, sings and prays during a recent Sunday service. Gillings is a fixture at the church, who can be found at services and prayer meetings — usually in the front row. In the 100 years since the founding of the NAACP in 1909, churches have played an important role in the push for equal rights. Today, they keep faith and history alive, providing support and positive role models as well as a place to confront social, religious and personal crises.

In Europe, the Spartans won against the Persians due to hoplites fighting in a phalanx formation. Then the Spartans were defeated by Macedonians because the Macedonians used longer spears called sarissa. Subsequently, this pattern of superior weapons prevailing continued through the use of swords, bows, and guns, etc. In contrast, in China, the Ming used cannons, and guns, but were slaughtered by the Jin cavalry that didn't have firearms. I've never heard about any battle in Chinese history where the superiority of technology was a significant factor in the victory. Was the Jin victory an anomaly, or are there other examples of inferior types of weaponry being used by the winning side in a battle?


In the XX century, the climate was hotter than it has been for a thousand years. The year 2000 beat all known records. According to the experts, this rise in temperature indicates that global warming is taking place. What is the meaning of this term, which is now used on a daily basis by the media and members of the public? The Earth Matters magazine, weekly magazine of the Indian television Doordarshan, investigates this particularly worrying phenomenon. If it continues, India’s long coastline and islands will be even more vulnerable to cyclones and population exodus will be inevitable, increasing the existing problems of over-population and access to resources. This programme is a call for collective awareness to protect the planet. Prix Magazine at XVIII Image et Science festival, Paris, 2001


Date: Summer 2012 Why do engineers often use superheated steam to transfer heat? There are several reasons: 1. It has high heat content (and heat content is tunable with pressure) 2. It is made of water, which is cheap and readily available (and other than being hot, is pretty safe stuff) 3. It is easy (and cheap) to pump (gas) compared with other heat transfer fluids 4. It readily transfers heat owing to it being a vapor (conduction and convection) Hope this helps, Engineers use superheated steam to transfer heat because it is the most efficient means to do so. Some nuclear reactor designs use liquid sodium to transfer heat, but that is a much more hazardous (corrosive) and expensive process. We can go down the list of other heat transfer mediums, but steam always comes out to be the most efficient. Click here to return to the Engineering Archives Update: November 2011

Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881 and grew up to be one the most renowned painters and sculptors in the world. He is best known as the father of the Cubist movement, which became popular in France in the early 1900s. Cubism depicts objects from many different viewpoints, breaking the subject into shallow planes and apparently random angles. His "Violin and Guitar" is an excellent example of cubism. Picasso incorporated many different styles in his paintings, which are among the most expensive. In 2004, Picasso's "Boy With a Pipe" sold for more than $104 million at auction. His most popular prints include "Le Vieux Guitariste," "Don Quixote," "Cote D'Azur" and "Petite Fleurs." Although Picasso died in 1973, his works are still quite sought-after.

Science Main Index The black mamba is native to Africa. Their habitat is open grasslands, savannahs and woodlands. It is the largest venomous snake in Africa and the second largest venomous snake in the world. They are considered the deadliest snake in Africa. They are also considered fastest land snake in the world, able to reach speeds of 12 miles per hour. Although they are called the black mamba, they are generally gray, gray brown, or olive green in color. The name black mamba comes from the black color inside their mouth. Play the following videos to learn more about the mamba snake.


Researchers at the Johns Hopkins and Wake Forest Universities have found that golfers, especially those who are not in good shape, have a higher risk of suffering from heart strain. The study measured the exercise capability of 40 golfers through a nine-hole game. It found that players with heart disease worked at 57 percent of their exercise capacity. Some golfers came out at over 100 percent. Researchers now say heart patients may want to check with their doctors before hitting the green. They say it doesn't necessarily mean they have to stop, but that patients may want to take a golf cart or shorten play to stay safe.


|When your cat smells something and then opens his mouth slightly, wrinkles his nose, and curls back his upper lip, your cat is exhibiting what is called the 'flehmen reaction' or 'flehming.' He is drawing in air, capturing the scent, and transferring it to a small specialized sac called the 'vomeronasal organ' or 'Jacobson's organ.' This organ is located high up in the roof of the mouth, and has a large blood supply. It traps the odor molecules and sends signals to the brain regarding the scent. Flehming can occur with a number of scents, but most frequently occurs when the cat smells urine. Many male cats will exhibit this behavior when they smell the genitals or urine of a female cat in heat.


Given a 2-dimensional array of MxN heights, how to transform it to a sphere? Every element of this array is just a 3D point (x,y,z) where z represents some height. One has to transform this array into a sphere, twisting it around the origin so, that only minimal distortions will happen. Representing it by spherical coordinates is not very good, because of the severe distortions. It's probably better if there is no direct one-to-one mapping from 2D plane to a surface of 3D sphere - many plane's points will not be involved. But what is the best possible mapping and how to transform involved points (elements of array)? This is for a 3D-planet terrain simulation. First, fractal landscape is produced, then, it is to be transformed to 3D sphere. Thanks in advance! SOLUTION: Map projection

The Northwest Ordinance, adopted by the Confederation Congress on July 13, 1787, established a precedent for the organization of territories outside of the nation’s original thirteen states. A minimum of five territories or states were to be created. Each was to have a republican government with an executive, legislative council (upper house), assembly, and judiciary. Not only was the territory north and west of the Ohio River to be settled by Americans and admitted into full statehood in the union, but the Ordinance stipulated that those territories would be free from slavery or involuntary servitude and have a bill of rights. Nathan Dane (1752–1835), who authored the clause prohibiting slavery, annotated this copy.

Cluster Cup Rust Cluster cup rust on Ribes americanum Mill. Top arrow indicates infected developing fruit; bottom arrow indicates rust aecial pustule on leaf. Cluster cup rust on leaves and inflorescence of Ribes americanum Mill. Black arrows indicate leaf pustules, white arrow indicates abnormal rust-infected fruit Cluster cup rust produces yellow spots on leaves, flowers and developing fruits in April and May. The affected Ribes are usually growing in a low lying area, possibly near a swamp. The alternate hosts for this disease are Ribes and sedges. This disease can significantly reduce the yield of black fruited currants. This disease can be significant in the mid-west and northern plain states.


April - Oct 2000 Hunters and Hyenas in Ice Age Rutland It is true to say that no matter how much planning goes into an archaeological excavation, nothing can fully prepare you for what may, or may not, be revealed once the topsoil is removed. This was certainly the case when a team from University of Leicester Archaeological Services was involved in the excavation of medieval remains in the village of Glaston, Rutland in early 2000. As the work was due to finish, unexpected remains from the last Ice Age (c. 30, 000 years ago) were recovered. The patience of the landowner, and technical and financial support from our project partners, English Heritage, the Natural History Museum and the British Museum allowed the excavation of Britain’s first ‘open air’ hyena den and rare evidence for a temporary hunters’ camp. Click on the links to the right for more on the Glaston project.


- Select the current row: Shift+SpaceBar - Insert a row (above the currently selected row): Ctrl+"+" To delete a row (or column) after it is selected, press Ctrl+"-" It's easy to remember these because Ctrl is pretty much the most powerful key there is and "+" and "-" make sense for adding and deleting. A trick for remembering which shortcut to use for selecting the row or column is the mnemonic that both "Ctrl" and "Column" start with "C". Remembering the SpaceBar is easy because the SpaceBar is a long key, so it can easily represent a row or column. To insert more than one row or column at a time, use the Arrow Keys as you hold Shift before going to step 2. You can also just hold down Ctrl+Shift as you repeating hit the "+" key, or hold down Ctrl as you repeatedly hit the "-" key. [Updated 12/18/2012] (thank you to those who have commented)


Curious to know how letters in the alphabet came to be, Jason Novak created a series of drawings titled ‘Where Letters Came From’ that depict the origins of A, B, C and D. The Oakland-based cartoonist takes the familiar letters that one encounters on a daily basis and explains their origins by creating different humorous scenarios. For instance, the letter E came into being from the image of a man standing with his arms in the air. The letter L is a shepherd who unfortunately is very rough with his sheep. The pictures provide a silly, but not unlikely guess at what might have inspired the typography of the alphabet. The explanations that Novak provides for his Where Letters Came From illustrations is very similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs, which used pictures to provide meaning.

Skip to Main Content In natural language, it is very common that one word has several different meanings. The well solution of word sense disambiguation (WSD) problem is the basis of natural language processing. In this paper, based on the certainty of word sense in certain language context, a new method is put forward based on ontology to solve the problem of WSD. And also, a prototype is developed to solve the WSD of "FT" in Chinese. Ontology is used to describe the knowledge of word and sense, and Jena reasoning rules are used to reason the mean of one ambiguous word. This method can be of great help to solve WSD.

A locator map identifies a place or region of interest and emphasizes its geographic setting. The following are some characteristics of locator maps: - They display a variety of information. - The primary aims are legibility and graphic contrast. - No graphics marks (that is, symbolized points, lines or polygons; text; or raster pixels) should be given visual emphasis over others. Successful locator maps often display very little extra information while drawing the reader's attention to a particular location of interest and its geographic setting. For example, a small locator map might accompany a newspaper article to help show the location of a current event. Locator maps are also used to identify areas that are shown in greater detail on another map. These types of locator maps are often found in gazetteers and road atlases to identify the extent of the map on a single page.


Unlike definitives, commemorative stamps are printed in limited numbers to honor an event, person, or specific theme. Postmaster General John Wanamaker issued the nation's first commemorative stamps in 1893. The series of sixteen stamps illustrated the Columbus's discovery of America. They prepared the way for the rapid growth of commemorative issues in the twentieth century. Like the Columbians, early commemorative stamps were issued in sets of a few stamps. In the late 1920s and throughout most of the twentieth century, individual stamps were issued to commemorate a topic. Commemorative sets or panes of multiple images have again become popular, especially with the development of self-adhesive stamps.


anything like C++ references? adalke at mindspring.com Mon Jul 14 18:28:38 CEST 2003 > In computer science, the theoretical model one first learns is a turing > machine. Turing machines have no variables or values, merely tapes. Actually, we started off with state machine, then worked our way though DFA/NFA, PDA, etc., ending up with a TM. I remember being intrigued that the way we learned these was in opposite order to they way they were first researched. Can anyone suggest why? My thought was that mathematicians like generalizing, so the most general models were pondered first. Only as people started to experiment with variations, and with actual computer hardware to back them up, did people start thinking about more limited cases. dalke at dalkescientific.com More information about the Python-list

call-with-current-continuation definition Lisp, programming (call/cc) A Lisp control function that takes a function f as its argument and calls f, passing it the current continuation , which is itself a function, k. k, which represents the context of the call to call/cc, takes the result of call/cc (which is the result of f) and returns the final result of the whole program. Thus if, for example, the final result is to print the value returned by call/cc then anything passed to k will also be printed. E.g, in Scheme (define (f k) (k 1) (k 2) 3) (display (call-with-current-continuation f)) Will display 1.

Experts in Two-Hybrid System Techniques Screening techniques first developed in yeast to identify genes encoding interacting proteins. Variations are used to evaluate interplay between proteins and other molecules. Two-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for protein-protein interactions, one-hybrid for DNA-protein interactions, three-hybrid interactions for RNA-protein interactions or ligand-based interactions. Reverse n-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for mutations or other small molecules that dissociate known interactions.

Female green turtles travel 1,600 miles (2,575 kilometers) from places like Indonesia and New Caledonia to lay their eggs in spots such as Raine Island. The island, where Aborigines once came in outrigger canoes to gather food, is now off-limits to most visitors to protect the nesting wildlife.
