"in the line of duty" French translation in the line of duty They suggest that the public mourns the loss of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty. We are shocked and truly saddened when we learn of an officer down in the line of duty. With that in mind, China recommended numerous experts to UNMOVIC, one of whom gave his life in the line of duty. When one of them loses their life in the line of duty, the public also mourns that loss and wish to help in a tangible way the surviving Usage examples for "in the line of duty" in French impulsiveness · impunity · impure · impurity · imputation · in · in-flight · in-house · in-line · in-patient · in-the-line-of-duty · inability · inaccessible · inaccessibly · inaccuracy · inaccurate · inaccurately · inactinic · inactivation · inactive · inactivity More translations in the bab.la Hindi-English dictionary.


Sustainable Building Materials The specifying community and local municipalities have experienced a strong surge related to design and use of recycled construction materials. Fly ash is characterized by LEED as an industrial by-product which enables the user to qualify for recycled material points. In addition to fly ash, other coal combustion products (CCP) such as bottom ash and flue-gas desulfurization (FGD ash) may be used to produce "green" construction materials. For example, wallboard has a high gypsum content for which FGD ash may be substituted. Concrete masonry units, paints, carpet backing, and asphalt roofing shingles may all be produced using CCPs as recycled materials.

THIS DAY IN VIRGINIA HISTORY Click image for larger view. October 05, 1806 First Services Were Held at a New Church in Rockingham This broadside, printed in German, was one of the first publications by Ambrose Henkel in New Market. It announced prayer services to consecrate a new log building for Rader Church in Rockingham County. Rader Church (alternately spelled Reider and Röder) began as a Lutheran congregation about 1763. The congregation shared meetinghouses with a Reformed congregation until late in the nineteenth century. Rader Lutheran Church continues as an active congregation in Timberville in a brick building constructed in 1878. The earliest immigrants to the Shenandoah Valley were largely German migrants and those of German descent from Pennsylvania. They kept and created distinct cultural traditions.

Buses can run on steep grades, but light rail cars are limited to grades of 6%. Rubber-tired vehicles such as buses have incrementally better traction on dry pavement, but significantly lower traction in wet, icy, or snowy conditions. Furthermore, electric light rail transit (LRT) railcars – including streetcars (trams) – are capable of negotiating much steeper grades than is commonly assumed and included in system designs. In general, it advisable to minimize grades on any new transit system as much as possible. However, where necessary (to access critical sections of a city, to contain costs, or for other reasons), LRT can handle grades as steep as 12% (depending on vehicle design, motor power, and other technical capabilities).

I’ve studied vectors but I can’t do this question in a book. PQRS is a rhombus of side 4 units. K, L, M and N are the mid-points of PQ, QR, RS and SP, respectively. SN® is a representative of vector u and SM® a representative of vector v. Show that SK®.SL® = 5u.v + 16. The rhombus has P at the top left corner and S directly below. Q is slightly lower than P and R is directly below Q.


Rotifers are tiny aquatic creatures with options: They can have sex, or they can simply clone themselves. And this ability to go both ways has made them interesting subjects in the study of the evolution of sex. Now scientists find when these animals are moved between varied environments, they became more likely to seek out a mate, rather than creating the next generation on their own, sans sex. Why do scientists care? Because sex is messy and costly and is not the easiest way for organisms to propagate, so scientists have long wondered why it evolved at all from the original method — asexual reproduction, aka cloning. You can read the full story HERE.


The predication of a second peak, at a position that is a harmonic of the first peak, is an immediate and unavoidable consequence of the interpretation of the first peak as being due to sound waves from gravitational potential perturbations layed down in the early universe. As of May 2001, the first detections of a second peak have been reported by the DASI, Boomerang and Maxima experiments: We expect this situation to change rapidly and this web page to go out of date quickly! Nevertheless, the basic cosmological inferences from these measurements will remain unchanged. We will see that the main inference is on the amount of baryons (or ordinary matter) in the universe.

Mars Close Approaches Close is a relative term. At its closest, Mars is still tens of millions of miles away from Earth. Still, the decreased distance during "closest approach" allows for fuel-conserving flights to Mars every 26 months and a good view of Mars once or twice every 15 to 17 years for Earth-bound sky watchers. For help viewing Mars, please contact your local Night Sky Network astronomy club.


By using the VSM-IVP Version 2 Web site, volunteers will be able to: 1. Use the site to test the accuracy of each of their identifications. 2. Make a series of two-way comparisons to determine the correct identification if an error has been detected. Two-way comparisons will be of similar-looking groups of insects, or the two-way comparisons will be arranged hierarchically from the most common errors to the least frequent errors. 3. Develop a more accurate mental image of the individual groups of insects based on color photographs of insects and parts of insects rather than the idealized line drawings used to build the conventional paper-based dichotomous identification guides that we have developed.


|Flathead River Valley| Canada and the U.S. have reached an historic agreement to protect British Colombia's Flathead River Valley and almost 400,000 acres of wilderness between our two countries. The Nature Conservancy of Canada and The Nature Conservancy, two major conservation organizations, are providing $9.4 million toward the deal which will disallow any mining or exploration on the protected land. The B.C. side of the valley is home to grizzlies, wolves, wolverines, lynx, elk, bighorn sheep, moose and mountain goats. The Flathead River flows, undammed, from British Colombia to Montana, containing some of the purest water in North America.


|Back to Index| Federalism in Spain and Latin America Steven Torok and others have written in defense of federalism. Michael Maguire points out the problem is common to Iberia and Latin America, where " The most common theme is the exploitation of the indigenous by first Spaniards, then Criollos, then Europeans, then Americans, and now fully global capitalism. Recently, a very large faction of indigenous folks from throughout Ecuador marched on the capital and forced the resignation of the president. Here there is a sense of nationalism within federal borders. In Chiapas, Mexico, the New Year's Revolution of 1994 is rotting in rhetoric because the Mayan sense of nationalism is not Mexican, it is Chiapan and state centered." My comment: Mexico, like other Latin American countries, is supposedly a federal country, but not in reality. Ronald Hilton - 2/17/00


Once Upon a Rainbow by Naomi Lewis Illustrated by Gabriele Eichenauer Reviewed by Sierra S. (age 8) Sierra S. is a student in Mrs. Zimmerman's 2nd Grade Class In this book Anna wishes that the rain would stop. She's practicing the colors of the rainbow. Each color of the rainbow is a different land for her. She visits red, orange, yellow, green and blue. There's even an indigo and violet land. Every land has a special poem and character. This book made me wonder if there are other worlds in our life. This book is not like any other book I've read. Why? Well, it is the most exciting story in the world, I think. My favorite part was the violet page because it made me think about the big Lilac bush in our backyard. I would recommend this book to people who like mystery and exciting endings.


What is TurningPoint? TurningPoint is an add-in to PowerPoint. New presentations can be created in TurningPoint or existing PowerPoint presentations can be used by simply adding in new ARS slides. On those new slides, multiple choice items are created in which an audience can respond to and have their results displayed in real-time. Why use TurningPoint? - Provides a new feature and change of pace to the classroom - Improves student involvement and interest - Gives an “in-flight” assessment for instructor and real-time feedback to students - Is great for checking students’ comprehension before moving on to a new session - Allows students to become familiar with instructor’s questioning style

|2013-14 First Day of School - August 7, 2013| Mr. Roberts' Room has been activated Math Fact Study In our math studies we are working hard on addition and subtraction facts. These will prove to be an important foundation as we continue on to multiplication and division. I plan to send flash cards home and would encourage parents to use them with students. A reading session of just ten or fifteen minutes each night at home will help greatly to advance reading levels. A short conversation about what was read after these sessions is a great idea as well. Practice provides the experience we need to grow. Thanks for all your help at home. No "Files" exist(s)


First rocket launch of 2013 for Cape Canaveral NASA launches satellite Video by fox4now.comvideo CAPE CANAVERAL - NASA launches its first rocket of the year at its Cape Canaveral station Wednesday night. The Atlas-V Rocket firing into space holds a new tracking and data relay satellite -- called the TDRSK. The satellite will be used for NASA to communicate with astronauts in space and aboard the International Space Station. It will take two weeks for the TDRSK to reach its intended 22,300 mile high orbit. NASA estimates the satellite costs between 350 and 400 million dollars.


A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their religion. The first student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is a Star of David."The second student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I'm a Catholic and this is the Crucifix." The third student got in up front of the class and said, " My name is Tommy and I am Baptist and this is a casserole."

By Geoffrey Gardiner Jurists have demonstrated that every right must have a corresponding duty, or it is worthless. The same is true of financial assets: for every creditor there has to be a debtor. Money is assignable debt. The debt should be negotiable, that is it can be transferred to another owner without reference to the knowledge of the debtor. There are primary debt and secondary debt. An example of primary debt is when a borrower draws down a bank loan by making a payment to someone. That someone pays the money received into a bank account, thus creating the credit which finances the loan. New money has been created.


As we head into a few 80-degree days, it's important to remember just how fast the temperature inside of your vehicle can heat up and soar into the danger zone if you've got children or pets as passengers. Tragedies involving kids and dogs left in hot cars make headlines every year. The National Weather Service put together a graphic showing a car parked outside on an 80-degree day. Within 20 minutes, the temperature inside the car hit 109. Within 40 minutes, it was 118. And after an hour, it had risen to 123 degrees. An MLive experiment done in this video last year shows what happens when you park a Subaru Forester on an asphalt lot and roll up the windows. The temperature inside went from 80 to 106 degrees in six minutes

The unity of life comes from the fact that all living things come from a common origin-- this is the most sensible way to explain things like the universality of the genetic code. The diversity of life comes from the generation of variation over time--things are related, but not exactly the same, allowing their descendants to adapt to changing conditions. Work Step by Step Review past chapters, skimming them for the mechanism such as mutation and crossing over which generate the variation/diversity, and then look, for the shared rules and principles which maintain the unity of life. Descent shows a connection while modification shows diversity.

Medical Definition of Kyphoscoliosis Kyphoscoliosis: A combination of outward curvature (kyphosis) and lateral curvature (scoliosis) of the spine. Kyphoscoliosis can be due to musculoskeletal disease or to unknown causes. Treatment includes physical therapy and wearing a back brace, and in some cases surgery. Surgery for kyphoscoliosis may involve inserting a metal rod in the spine and restructuring some bones, and it is usually followed by wearing a back cast and then a back brace for some time.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary Last Editorial Review: 5/13/2016 Medical Dictionary Definitions A - Z Search Medical Dictionary - 5 Lifesaving Tests Every Woman Needs - Are You Ready for Back Surgery? - Are We Close to a Cure for Cancer?


Washington County was named for George Washington, the first president of the United States. Washington County’s first courthouse, a temporary two-story structure built with oak and walnut lumber in Washington, around 1839. It was also used for school and church purposes. In 1847, a small brick courthouse with spire was completed. It was condemned in 1868. Washington County’s current courthouse, a Romanesque design by architects Foster and Liebbe, was completed in 1887 using local bricks. It is trimmed in white stone and features a clock tower, with the former Washington Academy’s clock. The Washington County courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

When thinking of a symbolic foe to battle in a medieval book, many creatures come to mind: dragons, wolves, or perhaps rabbits, but the poor defenseless snail? It hardly makes for a powerful image. But it turns out, as with most artwork, the answer is more symbolic than literal. In the 1960s a book historian named Lilian Randall thought the illustrations found in the margins of illuminated books required more attention, leading to the publication of her own book, Images in the Margins of Gothic Manuscripts. In this episode of Vox Almanac, Phil Edwards shares what Randall learned as she investigated the curious snail fights.

Comparing classic English poems With my S2 class, we have begun exploring classic English poems. This week we talked about I wandered lonely as a Cloud (William Wordsworth) and The Wild Swans at Coole (W. B. Yeats). We spent a good amount of time discussing the significance of each poem, before developing our own thoughts with regard to the text. Then, we moved on to place the two poems side by side and consider them in comparison. Both poems deal with themes related to nature, and this week students have shown an exceptional sensitivity to the messages and ideas that are to be found in these two poems. They have shown that they are able to interact with the poem carefully and thoughtfully. Keep it up girls; well done!

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Cigarette smoking combined with tuberculosis appears to be far deadlier than previously believed, according to a new study in India. The finding has important public health implications in developing countries where both are major public health problems, the New York Times said. The study, appearing Saturday in the journal Lancet, found that smokers are four times as likely as nonsmokers to die of TB in India. The researchers estimate nearly 200,000 people die there from the disease every year because they have been smokers. At every age, smokers in the study had twice the risk of dying as nonsmokers. The study also found Indian smokers, on average, die about 20 years earlier from all causes than they would if they did not smoke. Smoking and TB kill an estimated 5 million people worldwide every year, according to New York Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden.

Daldinia concentrica apparently has several names including coal fungus or King Alfred’s cakes (which sounds a lot nicer than cramp balls, one of its other names). The fruiting bodies of a fungus, which in our wood as elsewhere seems to prefer ash. It enjoys nothing more than a spot of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion on some dead wood. The flesh inside is is arranged in concentric layers representing ‘a season of reproduction’, whatever that means. Lots of insects make their home inside which might explain the hole, or it may just be where the spores were released. Interesting factoid from woodlands.co.uk: the inner flesh, once dried out, can be easily lit by a spark and, although it burns slowly like a barbecue briquette, once it has been lit one can transfer the glowing part to a ball of tinder and get a flame started. Have a look at this YouTube video.


This workshop has the aim to recreate the perspective outline of the Music Lesson. The reader may notice in Figure 1, how the paintings image formation clearly fits in my RMS90 Modular Scale. We will learn the basic use of this scale to directly deduce all the elements of the scene in perspective. Therefore, neither a plan nor an elevation is required for the practice, just a good photograph copy of the painting is needed. I will provide these copies and the scales as well, while the participants should bring some A4 sheets, a portable drawing board, squares, eraser, and pencils (gray and yellow). It would take about 75 minutes to perform it. You will remember those high school days.


The custom of adorning the church with trees, branches, flowers, and grass on Pentecost (Trinity Sunday) goes back to ancient times. The Old Testament Pentecost was the feast of the first harvest (Ex. 23:16). People brought the first fruits of their harvest and flowers into the court of the Temple. In New Testament times, the trees and other plants in the church symbolize the renewal of people through the power of the Holy Spirit which descended in the form of fiery tongues upon all of them. Additionally, it is the custom of the Orthodox Church for the faithful to bring bouquets of flowers which they hold in their hands, especially in the Divine Liturgy.

Reaction Rate of Titanium and Titanium Alloys With Titanium Lower Chlorides. The Science Technology and Application of Titanium Pergamon Press New York PP 179-188 :179-188 A technique was devised for measuring the rate of chemical reaction between titanium or titanium alloys and molten-salt mixtures containing titanium lower chlorides. The kinetics of the reaction of titanium, titanium-oxygen alloy, and titanium-iron alloy in molten salts were determined to provide a basis for understanding the reactions occurring in the preparation of titanium by metal reduction or electrolytic processes. The rates of the heterogeneous reactions were measured as a function of titanium content of the molten salts and of the oxygen and iron content of the titanium alloys. The Science Technology and Application of Titanium. Pergamon Press, New York, PP. 179-188


PHP Dates and Times Dates and Times "Well, time wounds all heels." Jane Ace, The Fine Art of Hypochondria Dates and times are one of the most important aspects of programming for the Internet, whether for sending out automatic reminders, capturing the date that an order was made, or telling today's date to the user. In this chapter, we discuss the different methods that PHP provides for getting and formatting the date and time, including printing them out, formatting a UNIX timestamp, and some other special PHP date and time features.


It's fairly easy to show that in general the distribution for a function, f, of a normal variate, x, is not a normal distribution. We only get a normal distribution if the derivative of f is a constant. We can also find a function that has some of the characteristics of the distribution that we found for the global land anomaly. g(x) = f'(x)=df/dx Note that the chosen function changes the rate of change in x for a given change in y at the center of the plot. This results in a compression of the distribution near y=0.

According to Wikipedia, A ”’palapa”’ (a Spanish word of Malayan origin, meaning “pulpous leaf”) is an open-sided dwelling with a [[thatch]]ed roof made of dried [[Arecaceae|palm]] leaves. It is very useful in hot weather and, therefore, very common in Mexican beaches, such as in [[Acapulco]]. It is perhaps one of the most important architectural contributions of Philippine culture to Mexican West cultures. It is also common to see in one of the Bay Islands,Utila Honduras. Here is the outside of the palapa: These pictures show the construction of the palapa: If you look closely you can see how this palapa was constructed. They start with a wooden frame of four poles that meet at the apex. Wooden cross-poles (parallel to the ground) are placed at intervals between the apex poles. Palm leaves (dried) palm are layered over the frame.


1. (Tufte) Tufte associates six types of information with Minard's map: army size, position (in two dimensions), direction, temperature, time. What other information do you think could be included? How would these be represented visually? What would the trade off be between that which was represented and the clarity of the message? 2. (Tufte) How does the graphic layout of Minard's map relate to the message he is trying to convey? How could the layout of the map change to accommodate a different design intent? u 3. (Arnheim) Why is it important to differentiate between central and peripheral attributes? Is it possible for peripheral attributes to be generative?


Income Taxes Account for the Largest Share of Federal Revenue October 24, 2013 In 1940, the year before America entered World War II, excise taxes—such as gas and cigarette taxes—were the largest source of revenues for the federal government, followed by Social Security payroll taxes, then corporate income taxes. Today, payroll taxes are still the second largest share of tax revenues while excise taxes would hardly fund two weeks’ worth of federal spending. Collections from individual income taxes are now the number one source of revenues for Uncle Sam. Corporate income taxes have declined as a source of revenues since the 1950s for many reasons—including the fact that more business income is now taxed on individual tax returns than on corporate returns. For more charts like the one below, see the second edition of our chart book, Putting a Face on America's Tax Returns.


Christmas pudding started as a porridge called Frumenty and was made of beef and mutton, raisins and spices. It later became known as Plum Pudding as eggs, breadcrumbs and fruit were added to make it thicker. Today a Christmas pudding is traditionally made with raisins, nuts and cherries. Sometimes the Christmas pudding is covered with brandy and set alight. A proper Christmas pudding should be stirred from East to West in honour of the Three Wise Men. A silver coin can be stirred into the pudding and brings luck to whoever finds it.


What is a ruptured Achilles tendon?The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. It connects the muscles in the lower leg (calf) to the heel bone. With every movement of the foot, the Achilles tendon stretches and tightens. Because it is under so much stress, it can partially or completely tear (rupture) from excess force or overuse. Ruptures usually occur about two inches above where the tendon attaches to the heel bone. An Achilles tendon rupture is most common in middle-aged “weekend warriors” who are not conditioned for athletics and who neglect to properly warm up and stretch prior to exercise. Ruptures frequently occur from sudden movements that stress the calf muscles, such as jumping or quick stops; from overstretching; from vigorous exercise after a long period of inactivity; or from untreated Achilles tendinitis/tendinosis (overuse).

Image of the Day: An Amur Tiger Cub, Safe for Now A female Amur tiger licks her cub at the Royev Ruchey zoo in Russia's Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk. The endangered Amur tiger is the largest cat in the world, reports the Huffington Post, and until the early 20th Century, when habitat loss from human invasion and poaching drove the cats to near extinction, they lived across China, Korea, and Russia. But the Amur is not the only tiger that risks extinction. Thanks to another human-derived threat, sea level rise as a result of climate change, Bangladesh’s Bengal tiger habitat may be shrinking by 96 percent, according to the World Wildlife Fund, which also says that tigers may become extinct in as soon as the next 12 years if no action is taken.

A little more about the Memorial: The memorial honors the 16 million who served in the armed forces of the U.S. during World War II, the more than 400,000 who died, and the millions who supported the war effort from home. Symbolic of the defining event of the 20th Century, the memorial is a monument to the spirit, sacrifice, and commitment of the American people to the common defense of the nation and to the broader causes of peace and freedom from tyranny throughout the world. It will inspire future generations of Americans, deepening their appreciation of what the World War II generation accomplished in securing freedom and democracy. Above all, the memorial stands as an important symbol of American national unity, a timeless reminder of the moral strength and awesome power that can flow when a free people are at once united and bonded together in a common and just cause.


Prevention and Treatment of Youth Sport Injuries an Online Resource Fractures are a common form of injury in adolescent athletes. The two main classifications of fractures are open (break the skin) and closed (inside the skin) factures. Either are treated with immobilization of a brace or cast as administered by a physician. The trend is to use braces as opposed to casts when appropriate to allow for limited passive range of motion as opposed to the complete immobility provided from a rigid semi-permanent cast. As directed by a physician the athlete should remember to continue light activity when it is pain free to prevent the excessive buildup of unwanted scar tissue.


On Liberty has become celebrated as the most powerful defence of the freedom of the individual, and is now widely regarded as the most important theoretical foundation for Liberalism as a political creed. The Subjection of Women is a powerful indictment of the political, social, and economic position of women. This edition, first published in 1989, brings together these two classic texts, plus Mill's posthumous Chapters on Socialism, his somewhat neglected examination of the strengths and weaknesses of various forms of socialism. The editor's substantial introduction places these three works in the context both of Mill's life and of nineteenth-century intellectual and political history. There is also a chronology of Mill's life, a bibliographical guide, and a biographical appendix of names cited in the texts.


The earth’s polar biomes are covered with ice most of the year. The Arctic and Antarctic are part of the polar biome. They are considered marine biomes since the land is covered by a sheet of ice. Biomes include geographic location, landforms and water. Weather affects the animal and plant life in a biome. Plant and animal life can be found not only in water but the soil. The polar biomes are on opposite ends of the earth. The tilt of the axis of the earth affects the amount of sunlight they get during the year. Each have 3 months of darkness and 3 months of sunlight.


Battle of Brno A Trail in Brno “Tomorrow we hit the city for the last time. Before the bells at Petrov ring noon, Brno must be ours. If not, we will retreat. “- thus spoke the Swedish General Torstenson in the spring of 1645, when he had unsuccessfully besieged Brno for 4 long months. And that was after he thought he would sew up a victory within a week. Indeed, in the fortress of Špilberk in Brno there were 400 soldiers and he arrived with 18 thousand! The conquest of Brno meant very much to him – it was the only thing in the path to besieging Vienna. How did this great battle take place? Who stood up to this Nordic leader? What was he about, where did he live and what trap did he think up for the Swedes? And why, then, does the bell on Petrov still ring noon at 11 am? History wrapped in ciphers, logic tasks and hiding places are awaiting you on the trail Battle of Brno.


Description: Two Roman theatres sit atop the Fourvière Hill in Lyon. The larger one is the most ancient such structure in France and was built by order of Augustus from 17 B.C. to 15 B.C. It was later expanded during the reign of Hadrian. Nearly 110 meters wide, the theatre could seat 10,000 people. It is still used for concerts during the summer.

C3 plants use the enzyme rubisco to catalyze the carbon fixation of CO2 and RuBP to make a three carbon compound called phosphoglycerate before going on into the Calvin Cycle. These plants use CO2 from the air and need to keep their stomata open to allow gas exchange. This however leads to extreme water loss. Due to this, C3 plants can not thrive in extremely hot or arid climates. They need an abundant amount of ground water and CO2 as well as moderate temperatures to successfully carry out this process. The picture shows a C3 plant called barley. Some examples of C3 plants are (Korean?) barley, rice, and other grains.


Paintballs are made of gelatin capsules that primarily contain polyethylene glycol and dye. Other non-toxic and water-soluble substances make up the contents of a paintball. Paintballs, or softgels, are made out of edible food materials that are compressed by a machine called a softgel encapsulating machine. Paintballs are made by first forming hot liquid gelatin into two thin ribbons and passing them over a rotating die, forming two halves of the capsule. Next, as the dies press against each other, a filling is injected inside the gelatin sheets as they form into one. Finally, the gelatin capsules are tumbled and dried in trays before they are ready for use. The softgel encapsulating machine was first designed and patented by Robert Scherer in 1933.

A seismic wave which travels along a boundary between two media of contrasting properties, rather than propagating through the bodies of the media (compare body wave). Where the boundary is a free surface (e.g. ground–air, sea bed–sea water) these waves are called surface waves and give rise to ground roll and mud roll respectively. Boundary waves are of two types: Love waves and Rayleigh waves. Subjects: Earth Sciences and Geography.


To applaud is to show approval, encouragement, or appreciation. You can applaud by clapping your hands at a performance, or you can applaud with just your mouth, as when you tell someone "I applaud your decision to start exercising." The verb applaud goes back to the Latin verb applaudere, "to clap," and it came into English use in the 15th century. Part of the word applaud is laud, which means "praise," and laud is close in spelling to loud. When you applaud, you give loud praise by clapping you hands together. If you really like what someone is doing and want to pat them on the back for it or show encouragement, you might just say "I applaud your efforts."

Most of us probably take what we can hear for granted – from the drone of traffic in the distance to the crying baby next door. Our ears do an incredible job of translating the sounds around us into information that our brains can understand. It's as automatic as breathing and happens without us really giving the process much thought. Read: How do we hear? But sometimes loud noise can be damaging to our ears. We take a look at how noise can affect your hearing. Will your job cause hearing loss? Pain relievers linked to hearing loss in women Hearing loss tied to bigger medical bills for late middle-aged


As an adjective, staunch means firm. You might want to go to that concert Friday night, but your parents' staunch opposition prevents you. Staunch is sometimes used as a verb to mean "to stop the flow of a liquid," but most usage books will tell you it's better to use the word stanch for the verb. Think of a soldier stopping and standing still, and you will understand the connection between the two meanings. The adjectival form should make you think of "stand," as in “stand firm,” or "take a stand." It comes from the French estanche meaning “watertight” and the Latin stanticare, which is probably from stans for “stand.”

We have always been told of the benefits of staying in the present and focusing the mind on one task. New research has added one more dimension to the benefit of staying in the present, and its connection with ageing. When one stays in the present, it is certainly considered a sign of being emotionally well. Telomeres, which are caps on the ends of DNA, are biological pointers of general and cellular aging. As we age, telomere length tends to shorten. Scientists found that those who are focused have longer telomeres. "In our healthy sample, people who report being more engaged in their current activities tend to have longer telomeres. We don't yet know how generalizable or important this relationship is," researchers said.


One big indication that a chemical change has occurred is a color change. Many times a chemical reaction will start as relatively colorless or only lightly colored (often times yellow). During the course of a chemical reaction, reactions will often turn a darker color (dark yellow, brown, even black), thus indicating a chemical change. Another indicator of a chemical change can be smell. Some chemical reactions produce a gas either as a main product or as a byproduct. It this gas has a particular odor like ammonia or a sulfur compound, this is also an indicator of a chemical change (chemical bonds are broken and reformed to produce the gas). Finally, change in pH can often indicate a chemical change. pH is the measure of the acidity of a chemical or a mixture, so if an acid is produced or consumed as part of a reaction, this will change the pH of the chemical reaction mixture.

Establishing a quorum in a meeting requires the presence of the minimum number of voting members necessary to conduct business legally. Normally, a quorum consists of a majority of voting members, but organizations can determine a different quorum number in their bylaws.Continue Reading The purpose of a quorum is to ensure that important decisions cannot be made on behalf of an organization by an unreasonably small portion of its membership. An organization can establish the number of voting members required for a quorum as a specific number or a percentage of the total membership. Robert's Rules of Order states that in the absence of a bylaw, a quorum should be considered to be half of the voting membership. The rules recommends that organizations establish as large a quorum as can be expected to attend most meetings.Learn more about Types of Government

A siren is mounted on a tower and emits a sound whose frequency is 2140 Hz. A person is driving a car awayf rom the tower at 27 m/s. The sound reaches the person by 2 paths: the sound reflected from a buliding in the front of the car and the sound coming directly from the siren. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What frequency does the person hear for the a) reflected and b) direct sounds. When the observer is moving towards/ away from the sound the frequency of the sound that he hears is different from the emitted frequency (Doppler effect) The equation is f= fo (1+ speed of observer/ speed of sound) when the observer is moving towards ... The solution calculates frequency for the a) reflected and b) direct sounds.

Luke Skywalker would likely feel at home on a number of real-life planets. Giant, rocky masses orbiting two suns have a place outside of Hollywood, according to a pair of researchers from the University of Utah. The study hasn't been published yet, but an early version, called "Planet Formation Around Binary Stars: Tatooine made easy," is available online. "Tatooine sunsets may be common after all," the study from U. astrophysicists and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory states. It suggests planets "are as prevalent around binaries as around single stars," like Earth's own sun. Previously, the only planets believed to circle such binary stars were giant gassy versions with no capacity for life.


Interested in knowing how interactivity affects eLearning? Check the eLearning Interactivity: The Ultimate Guide For eLearning Professionals eLearning interactivity is defined as the “dialogue” between learners and eLearning tools through which learners become engaged and involved in the eLearning process. It is a key element of the actual eLearning course design process, and it has proven to be a practice that adds outstanding value to your eLearning course. It involves forms of action or reaction on learners’ behalf, in order for them to achieve results or reach a conclusion. eLearning interactions may include multiple choice quizzes, tests, eLearning scenarios, simulations, animation videos etc, that help learners to deepen their understanding of the subject matter through experimentation, dealing with unpredicted circumstances, or even learning from their mistakes.


The Pedagogy Wheel Bloom’s Taxonomy is always talked about in education showing the different learning objectives that pupils should achieve. For a more up to date version have a look at the pedagogy wheel which gives examples of actions and activities that pupils can engage in according to the four objectives of: remember/understand, apply, analyse, evaluate, create. Better still, it even suggests iPad apps that are relevant for pupils and teachers to use for each of the four objectives. The image above is from here.


It has been said that wind turbines , once you consider all the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their manufacture as well as the site construction process and operations, do not actually reduce carbon emissions as much as is claimed by wind proponents. Detailed analysis has been done on the GHG emissions of different generators over their entire lifetimes and considering ALL emissions - in manufacturing, construction and operation. This is known as 'Life Cycle Carbon Analysis'. One of the more comprehensive of these studies, summarised in the chart above, was carried out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This demonstrates that wind turbines, over their entire life-cycle and including manufacturing, construction and operations, emit 80 times less GHGs than a coal-fired power station and 40 times less than a natural gas fired power station.

Purchased in 1789 by Ebenezer Snell, Bryant's grandfather, the Homestead and its surrounding countryside inspired much of young Bryant's poetry such as "The Rivulet" and "To A Waterfowl." Bryant's family sold the Homestead in 1835. However, thirty years later Bryant re-purchased it as a summer retreat and converted it from a center-stair colonial to a Victorian cottage. The house collection includes colonial and Victorian pieces from the Bryant and Snell families and memorabilia collected on his extensive travels to Europe and Asia. He added an ell to the barn to store apples and pears from his orchards. Bryant's pastoral estate encompasses 195 acres, largely unchanged for more than 150 years. The maple tree allee planted by the Bryant family, the old growth forest on the Rivulet Trail, and the sugar bush used by Bryant and his brothers contain trees that are almost 200 years old.

An insightful post on what education is and what schools do from Dr. Mohler: Schools are never just about education. For that matter, education is never just about education. The school as an institution is founded and supported as a means to some end. In ancient Israel, education was to produce a faithful member of the chosen nation — a son who would bring pride to the family and his people and glory to God. In ancient Greece the school was to produce a productive citizen, wise and mature. Rome followed the example of Greece. In the Christian tradition, education was first about making disciples. The earliest Christian schools were catechetical schools for new believers. The early church borrowed from the classical models and established new traditions. Read the whole thing.

U.S. Adults: Children Need to Work Harder Most American adults think parents don’t push their children hard enough to do better in school, a survey suggests. The survey, conducted by the Washington-based Pew Research Center, found that 56 percent of adults believe that parents are putting too little pressure on their children to work harder; 15 percent feel they are placing too much pressure; and 24 percent think they are exerting the right amount. Those opinions generally hold across gender, race, age, and income differences, as well as for parents and nonparents. In contrast, a majority of respondents surveyed in China, India, and Japan said they thought children faced too much pressure from parents. Vol. 26, Issue 02, Page 20

Seagrasses are flowering plants which grow in near shore brackish or marine environments. They are called seagrasses because the leaves are long and narrow and are very often green, and because the plants often grow in large "meadows" which look like grassland. There are currently 58 known species known of which Australia is home to 30 or more than half. They are found in temperate and tropical regions of the world. They are closely related to terrestrial lillies and gingers and evolved from land plants and adapted to marine life around 100 million years ago. Seagrasses have roots (rhizomes), shoots and leaves. The specialised roots (rhizomes) creep along the bottom, and produce upright shoots. The rhizomes and roots anchor the plant to the soft bottom and absorb nutrients. The leaves are generally long and strap shaped but may be paddle-shaped.


Also known as Non-Insulin dependent diabetes mellitis (NIDDM). It is the more common form f diabetes. 90% of total diabetic population. In this case insulin production by pancreas is not stopped. Infact the problem is peripheral utilization of insulin. Due to obesity or other factors insulin resistance is increased and it is not effective in lowering blood glucose level. So oral medicines are needed to lower insulin resistance and lower blood glucose level. Type 2 diabetes: by Mubeen Sheraz Published on: October 3, 2013 *Updated on December 6th, 2013,

First Posted: Dec 31, 2015 12:18 PM EST Scientists may be getting some new insight into bird migration by combining new techniques. Scientists have produced more refined estimates of where individual Barn Swallows spend the winter by using methods to both track large numbers and a handful of birds. Barn Swallows breed in North America, but head south for the winter to a broad area that encompasses most of Central America, the Caribbean and South America. In this latest study, researchers wanted to find a better way to determine where within thisrange Barn Swallows were spending their winter months.


No. 5 Folding Kodak Improved "satchel" Stereo In 1885, Blair establisheded the concept of self-casing cameras with their commercialy succesful Lucidograph. Kodak soon followed with their own Folding cameras. Looking much like a satchel, the Kodaks were more practical, though still far from an ideal design. An interesting feature of the Kodak cameras was their incorporation of an Eastman-Walker roll film holder. The No. 5 Improved of 1893-'97 was given a wider lens board, allowing the use of stereo shutters. It could also shoot glass plates. By the turn of the century, better designs were available and the satchel cameras were gone.


El Médol Roman Quarry It is a huge pit, over 200 m. long, where stone was quarried in Roman times. In the centre of the quarry, there is a column of stone left untouched, known as the "agulla de Mèdol". Stone from the quarry was used to build a number of important edifices in Tarraco. - Bouw: Civil engineering - Artistieke periode: Classical-Roman - Historische periode: Romanisation (B.C.)

It's vast. It's old. There are many caves. Christians used to live in them. Now tourists stay in cave hotels. Or as the Lonely Planet says: The Hittites settled Cappadocia from 1800 BC to 1200 BC, after which smaller kingdoms held power. Then came the Persians, followed by the Romans, who established the capital of Caesarea (today’s Kayseri). During the Roman and Byzantine periods, Cappadocia became a refuge for early Christians and, from the 4th to the 11th century, Christianity flourished here; most churches, monasteries and under ground cities date from this period. Later, under Seljuk and Ottoman rule, Christians were treated with tolerance.

It is vital that we understand each other. Tembua precisely moves ideas from one language to another. The Written Word This is translation, whether website text or hard copy or electronic files. Training manuals, legal documents, insurance plans, websites, instructions for use, catalogues, employee and safety manuals—if there are words in one language, Tembua can move them to another language! The Spoken Word This is interpretation. Visualize the United Nations, where headset-wearing interpreters work to make sure everyone understands. Or think about a courtroom, where a legal interpreter helps an immigrant navigate the legal system. Tembua can move the spoken word to any other language! …and Video Services This is the intersection of written and spoken services. Tembua can make your videos speak in many languages!


Western Australia is divided into 59 Legislative Assembly districts and six Legislative Council regions. The boundaries of the districts and regions are determined by the conduct of an electoral distribution, which occurs approximately 18 months after a State election. A distribution reviews electorate boundaries to ensure the number of electors in districts or regions is maintained as the population moves and changes over time. It is carried out by the Office of the Electoral Distribution Commissioners. The revised boundaries for the 2017 State election can be viewed on the Boundaries website. You can find your Legislative Assembly district and Legislative Council region by checking your enrolment to confirm your State and local government enrolment information.


Historical context remains a foundation to those genealogist who are trying to climb out those tree branches. Tudor tradition had established one historical corridor through which our ancestors walked. The Stuart period resulted in multiple changes in the religious, political, social, and colonial mindsets. [Many of our ancestors crossed the great pond during this period.] The following text discusses many of these developments. Multiple authors present a series of topics such as "Poetry" [Chap. VIII], "Theatre" [ Chap. IX], and "Art" [Chap. XI] which is often not included in other texts covering this period. The book was first published in 1950, by Falcon Educational Books, Ltd, London. It has been published in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa. Only 170 pages, it is a good overview of many aspects impacted during this transition period in our ancestors life time.


Sediment Transport Analysis and Design Flowing water erodes and transports sediment in the form of sand, gravel, rocks and wood. Each of these elements can dramatically impact channel and land formation, habitat and ecosystem function. In rural and wildland areas, active sediment transport contributes to ecosystem diversity and channel migration patterns. In urban, agricultural and residential areas, sediment transport activity is often due to flooding and erosion and when left unchecked can destabilize banks that support public and private infrastructure. To facilitate an understanding of the river’s sediment transport capacity and critical opportunities for restoration and infrastructure protection, we routinely provide detailed hydrologic, 1-D and 2-D hydraulic modeling, and sediment transport analyses.


Reverse-engineering (reverse development) is a process of analysis of a machine code of the program by our specialists or the product study. We restore the algorithm of this program on a pseudo code or a specification that a customer is interested in. As a result, the reverse-engineering allows to avoid copyright violation on an initial program. The reverse-engineering is used for analysis of a product competitive capacity or has an aim of development and further implementation into manufacture of the studied product. Reverse-engineering can be performed at the level of software with the following aims: Reverse-engineering can be performed in 3 ways:

Human rights have a long history. Men and women are fighting for them since the beginning of time. They are the cornerstone, the foundation of a truly democratic society. The fundamental premise of human rights is that each individual is a moral and be reasonable. Human rights are based on the principle of respect for the individual and his beliefs. One of the most important of these rights is freedom of religion or belief. This right is part of our own laws - it is guaranteed by the Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution of 1958. It is also highlighted in international treaties signed and ratified by France. When we became founding members of the Council of Europe in 1949, and when we ratified the European Convention on Human Rights in 1974, we committed ourselves to protect and maintain freedom of religion.


May 10, 2013 Carbon Dioxide Passes Symbolic Mark . For the first time in human history, atmospheric Carbon Dioxide emissions have exceeded 400 ppm. A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) facility in Hawaii recently registered a carbon dioxide concentration 400.03 ppm which is believed to be the highest concentration in some three to five million years. Scientists say that periods with high CO2 concentrations are also strongly correlated with warmer climates, while certain environmentalists groups say that 350 ppm is the highest safe level of CO2 acceptable in order to avoid catastrophic climate consequences.


3D & Nanotechnology 3D printing was developed by a team led by Emanuel Sachs from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1980s. Also known as binder jetting, the method involves placing down a layer of a powder and then jetting a liquid binder on the areas to be solidified. While related to predictable ink jet printers, 3-D printers are capable to build further layers on top of previous ones to build 3-D objects, even refined objects that assist as medical implants. These 3D printing methods are reaching a stage where preferred products and structures can be made self-determining of the complexity of their shapes – even bioprinting tissue is currently in the realm of the possible.

Talking with others about ideas and work is fundamental to learning. But not all talk sustains learning. For classroom talk to promote learning it must be: – accountable to the learning community (accountable talk seriously responds to and further develops what others in the group have said) – accountable to accurate and appropriate knowledge (using evidence that is relevant) – accountable to rigorous thinking (are they really using their mind well) If students are going to talk, they have to have something to say, and it’s best that it relates to the text, will initiate a conversation, keep a conversation going and help develop, test and refine thinking!


Orbital Period: 4.0 Earth Years (Dranen) 66 days (Arvuna) Arvuna, a moon of Dranen, is classified as a water world because oceans or ice cover 90% of its surface. Besides prodigious sea life, Arvuna is home to a host of venomous arthropodal pests in the tropical zone with metallic carapaces similar to those found on Palaven to resist radiation coming from Dranen's magnetosphere. There are several well-shielded human colonies on Arvuna, although they are alienated from the Council and politically insignificant to the Traverse and Terminus Systems. The Reapers have yet to reach Arvuna, concentrating instead on the Balor system. While this cuts Arvuna off from the cluster's mass relay, it is at least some evidence that the Reapers cannot be everywhere at once.


Working Science mini-documentary series April 20, 2017 One of the most important nanotechnology fields is medicine. Nanotech devices offer non-invasive devices for drug delivery (e.g., for tumors), post-surgical infection-monitoring, and low cost pollutant monitors, among many other functions. Professor Sonkusale’s Nano Lab at Tufts University is a leader in developing nanotech medical applications. In this tour of the Tufts Nano Lab, he shows how nano-devices such as magnetic nanorobots, smart threads, and an electronic nose are improving modern medicine. See Dr. Sonkusale's 2016 guest appearance on our Contemporary Science program Breakthroughs in Nanotechnology for more background about nanotech in medicine.

- Related article - Exploring the medical promise of stem cells *Embryonic stem cells* typically are derived from 4- to 5-day old human embryos formed via in vitro fertilization or cloning in a lab. Since embryonic stem cells are naturally “pluripotent” — able to transform themselves into any cell in the body — researchers have regarded them as the most useful. The use of embryonic stem cells has been condemned by the Catholic Church because embryos must be destroyed in the process of acquiring them.


Stigma, is a process by which the reaction of others spoils normal identity according to Goffman. It is a discrepancy between actual and virtual social identity that causes us to altar our estimation of others negatively. Stigma is something that is deeply discrediting, but it depends on the circumstances. A certain attribute that may stigmatize one person might be something that isn’t out of the ordinary for another person and it is therefore neither creditable nor discreditable in itself. An example of social stigma is that: Someone might be stigmatized because they walk with a limp. This limp causes stigma to attach to the person, overpowering the ways in which they might be social normative. Maybe the person is white, Protestant, or a heterosexual with a limp. The limp marks them, despite his or her other traits.


In the hot, dark water of a South African mine, scientists have found the world’s loneliest species. Everywhere else biologists have studied life on our planet, they’ve found communities of life, but today, biologists announced they have discovered an ecosystem that contains just a single species of bacteria. In all other known ecosystems, the key functions of life — harvesting energy and elements like carbon and nitrogen from the environment — have been shared among different species. But in the water of the Mponeng gold mine, two miles under the earth’s surface, Desulforudis audaxviator carries out all of those functions by itself. In short, it’s the tidiest package of life found yet.

Mind Mapping is a cognitive science technique for making associations using a graphical map. An the main idea or "node" is at the center of the mind map followed by branches of additional nodes. The link between one node to another shows the level of knowledge related to the target concept or idea. The following paper explains how to create Mind Maps using a "free" open source tool know as FreeMind. A Sun Up Alarm Clock Mind Map is the target sci-tech gadget for the Project of the Month.

"Do Babies Learn From Baby Media?" A new study suggests that some of the educational claims of infant-learning videos and DVDs may be exaggerated. Judy S. DeLoache, a researcher at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, recruited 96 families with children between the ages of 12 and 18 months for her study. Some of the children watched an unidentified, best-selling educational DVD—either alone or with parents—several times a week. The rest saw no DVD programs but were taught the same words featured in the commercial programs through everyday interactions with parents. After a month, the researchers found that the DVD-watching toddlers learned little, regardless of whether they watched the video segments alone or with their parents. They knew no more words than children who had never seen the programs. Vol. 30, Issue 11, Page 5


The electromagnetic force works at all distances. Here’s something I’d like to have explained. This page (there are lots) explains that, say, two electrons, will repel each other, and change course, by exchanging a photon. I have two electrons whose trajectories are antiparallel. Their mutual repulsion will bend their trajectories, especially at closest approach. No matter how far apart the electrons are. My electrons are one light year apart. Now for the tough / dumb questions: - Are the photons emitted simultaneously? If so, is this action at a distance communicating faster than light? - It takes a year for each photon to reach its target. Does it ‘aim ahead?’ - The (vector) energy change of each electron is small, so the photons must carry very little energy. How large is their equivalent wavelength? Serious (or really funny) answers only, please.

In 1887 four Chicago anarchists were executed. A fifth cheated the hangman by killing himself in prison. Three more were to spend 6 years in prison until pardoned by Governor Altgeld who said the trial that convicted them was characterised by “hysteria, packed juries and a biased judge”. The state had, in the words of the prosecution put “Anarchy .. on trial” and hoped their deaths would also be the death of the anarchist idea. The anarchists were trade union organisers and May Day became an international workers day to remember their sacrifice. They were framed on false charges of throwing a bomb at police breaking up a demonstration in Chicago. This was part of a strike demanding an 8 hour day involving 400,000 workers in Chicago that started May 1st 1886 . The anarchist idea did not die in Chicago in 1887. Today it inspires a new wave of struggle against global capitalism.


From the traditional folk song of the Southern United States, "The Yellow Rose of Texas". The Yellow Rose was Emily West Morgan, a mulatto. The term 'High Yellow' was used to describe non-Caucasian people whose skin color was so light, that they could pass for white. A high yellow female was sometimes referred to as a Yellow Rose. by Saluton May 06, 2008
