Do you need ideas to share with your child's teacher to encourage non-food rewards in the classroom? Many elementary schools are becoming more food allergy aware. An average U.S. classroom has two children with a food allergy. Some schools, like this one in Ohio, are looking for ways to celebrate classroom achievements without snacks and other food. The superintendent is asking teachers to not use food as a reward for elementary school students in class. They are also switching to food-free birthday celebrations. Others are using food allergies as a teachable moment for their young students, like this California school we wrote about last spring. Using non-food rewards is healthier for everyone, not just those with food allergies. These ideas get a class up and moving after a job well done: Find more ideas from our handout Non-Food Rewards for Children With Food Allergies.


In Kindergarten and Transition, children learn to socialise and interact with a group, to recognise and write letters and numbers, and begin to read and write and cope with basic mathematical concepts. Our aim is to make learning enjoyable and arouse the children’s natural curiosity about life and the environment.

Our tooth fairy had the chance to visit a local preschool. She taught them all about their teeth and how to keep them bright and healthy. Here are a few tips she shared. - Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. - About the size of a little green pea is the amount of toothpaste you need. . - Always spit out all the toothpaste. - Brush in gently little circles. - Brush the top, front, and back sides of each tooth. - Eat healthy foods to keep your teeth and body healthy. - Don’t eat or drink too many sweets. - If you want sweets, eat or drink them with your meals. We are striving to help children understand the importance of their teeth and provide them with basic information about keeping their teeth clean and healthy in a fun and friendly atmosphere. We believe developing good dental health habits young will benefit them throughout their lifetime!


Pine kernels are a fun size in more than one sense. In fact, pine kernels are really a seed. The seed sits in the pine cone, which grows on the pine tree - a coniferous tree, which is grown mainly in the Middle East, the USA and China. As a raw material, pine kernels are quite expensive, but there is a natural reason. The cones takes 3 years to mature, and then they must be heated to release the seeds. Each pine loin gives approx. 40-50 pine kernels, all of which are surrounded by a chestnut-brown skin that is hard to remove. In November and December you can buy whole pine cones in selected supermarkets and let them stand in a warm place until the seeds slowly fall off the cone. Then release the individual pine nuts by removing the hard shell. It's a huge job, but it's worth the effort to get rid of the little delicate grains from the pine cone.


On Westray, if there’s a lump in a field, it’s either rubbish dumped by a farmer or an incredibly precious and very ancient archaeological site. Next to Grobust beach there’s a grassy lump which is an Iron Age broch. Apparently that means a two thousand year old circular stone tower. This one is called the Knowe of Queen o’ Howe which immediately makes me want to know who the Queen was and where Howe was and what a Knowe is. The Queen, however, is probably a mispronunciation of Quoy which is an enclosed bit of wasteland used for farming. A Knowe is a small mound and the same origin as the word knoll. The name is therefore Old Norse meaning an enclosed mound. I think I’d have much preferred the story if there was a queen involved.


Standards for Mathematical Practice The Common Core’s Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) focus on what it means for students to be mathematically proficient. I have heard many people say that the SMPs are the heart and soul of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM). These standards describe student behaviors, ensure an understanding of math, and focus on developing reasoning and building mathematical communication. Each standard has a unique focus, but each also interweaves with the others as we put them into practice. These practices empower students to use math and to think mathematically. Our job as teachers is to help students develop these practices to become effective mathematicians.


Table of contents About this book Biomining is the use of microorganisms in the recovery of metals from ores. During bioleaching, metals such as copper, nickel or zinc are oxidized through microbial action from the water-insoluble sulfide to the soluble sulfate forms. Although gold is inert to microbial action, microbes can also be used in gold recovery from certain types of ores because as they oxidize the ore, they open up its structure, thereby allowing a gold-solubilizing agent such as cyanide to penetrate the ore. The book describes several industrial bioleaching and biooxidation processes as well as the underlying theory and biology of the microbes involved.

Vacuum cooling of bakery products Vacuum cooling is a process designed for preparation of products for transportation or long storage. It is used for treatment of vegetables, mushrooms and bakery products. Method of enthalpy cooling was opened in 18 century by Scotland scientist Ulyam Callen. A little later the technology was modernized but operationla concept was the same. The product is placed in a special chamber, from which the air is removed. This process leads to water evaporation and cooling of product. This provides quick and even cooling and increases storage life. However, this is a not full list of advantages of vacuum cooling technology that has become pore popular lately. This popular metod has a lot of advantages: - time reduction for complete cooling up to 15-20 minutes; - energy saving up to 60%; - increase storage life; - preservation of

This sari is a superb example of Gujarati brocade weaving. Gujarat was a major centre of textile manufacture and trade, and Gujarati brocades were of fine design and craftsmanship. Although weaving has a long history in the region, many techniques and motifs were brought in from Persia during the reign of the Mughals. Weaving centres such as Ahmedabad and Surat continued production up till the 20th century, incorporating new designs into their repertoire based on changing fashion and tastes.This sari with its foliate pattern in zari (gilt thread) with a contrasting border, is a typical feature of Gujarati brocade. This sari would have likely been woven for an upper-class family, based on the finesse of the weaving and the amount of zari used. The name of the weaver is also woven onto one edge of the sari.


When the British Army defeated the Turks in 1917, they acted immediately to restore order in Jerusalem. The tower, stronghold and police barracks (known as the "Kishle") were almost immediately used for the reorganized military police. The next photo depicts the "investiture" of honors and medals on General Edmund Allenby and individual soldiers. The pictures of the investiture ceremony bear the conflicting dates of December 1917 as well as March 1918. During the Arab Revolt (1936-1939), attacks were carried out against British facilities and Jewish communities. The Old City was occasionally "conquered" by Arab gangs who took control of the Old City gates. British military operations had to be launched to "lift the siege." The following pictures show the "war-like scene on the roof of the Tower of David" in 1938.

About the Centrifuge At the time “2001” was made, spacecraft designers were convinced of the need to supply artificial gravity for space travelers. In principle, this is very easy to do. An object on the rim of a wheel rotating at a uniform speed is subjected to a constant force pushing it away from the center, and by adjusting the size of the wheel and the speed of its rotation, this centrifugal force can be made to resemble the force of gravity. Having accepted this notion, Kubrick commissioned the Vickers Engineering Group to make a centrifuge large enough for the astronauts to live in full-time. It took six months to build and cost $300,000.

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder in which a child has continuous cycle of symptoms that involve periods of extreme nausea, followed by rapid vomiting. They then experience a period of recovery, followed by a period of normal health with no symptoms. The cycle then begins again, and happens over and over. Some medical researchers believe that CVS is a type of abdominal migraine. CVS most often happens in young children; however, it can occur at any age. The stages of CVS are categorized as: There is no known cause of CVS, however, the most common triggers of episodes include: There is no cure for CVS.


Heart disease often does not have any symptoms until your heart and blood vessels are badly damaged. If you have CKD, you and your doctor can watch closely for any signs of heart disease – though blood work or monitoring how you feel. Symptoms of heart disease depend on the type of heart disease you have. Some symptoms to look out for are: - Chest pain - Shortness of breath - Extreme fatigue - Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in your legs or arms - Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen or back - Swelling of the legs, ankles and feet - Irregular heartbeats that feel rapid, pounding or fluttering - Dizziness, lightheadedness and fainting Heart disease is easier to treat when caught early, so be sure to tell your doctor if you ever feel symptoms or have concerns about your risk.


Physical Type Using Figures of Speech In this assignment students conducted an exploration of how images and type can reinforce or redirect meaning. This project was completed over two weeks as a component of a seminar class in Persuasion for Design juniors at Carnegie Mellon University. A variation of the textual/visual metonymy or synecdoche assignment, students were asked to create a linguistic trope by photographing type in an environment. Students were asked to work with a specific level of modality, or relation to the real. Concepts included verismo, surreal, hyperreal.

Anthony Atala: Printing a human kidney Anthony Atala discusses the shortage of organs available for transplant and the aging population. Medicine has enabled us to live longer, however our organs tend to fail. There is now an organ shortage crisis as the number of people requiring an organ transplant has doubled yet the number of transplants taking place has barely increased. Atala disusses how regenerative medicine could help combat this organ shortage for those in need. Solid organs are the most in need, 90% of patients on the transplant list are waiting for a kidney. Using a 3D scanner to create a profile of a patient’s kidney, Atala is then able to use a 3D printer to create an exact replica for transplant, the printing process takes just 7 hours.


Collaboration Enhances Language Learning Research has long suggested the ideal time to teach a new language is to 4-year-old students because young learners absorb so much information at this age. With that in mind the Oneida Indian Nation Language program and Madison-Oneida BOCES (MOBOCES) are developing a curriculum and best practices to ensure all children at the Oneida Indian Nation Early Learning Center are learning the traditional language. With one-year of collaboration already behind them the staff at the Verona school is working on a plan to not only benefit the children, but include current Oneida language learners, teachers and ELC staff on how to bring Oneida to all.

Bioscience in brief What is a gene? The Genetic Code DNA carries the blueprint for life: all the information the cells need to build an organism, whether it is a human, a plant or a bacterium. But how is this genetic information stored? DNA is composed of four different bases or nucleotides: adenine (A), thiamine (T), cytosine (C) and guanidine (G). The genetic code defines how three-letter words formed by these nucleotides specify the formation of an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, the most common functional products of genes. The genetic code is nearly universal: almost all living forms use it. This is why it is also called the language of life. The process of converting the genetic information of genes into functional proteins is known as gene expression.


Positioning Your Body for Safety On a motorcycle, your body is, effectively, an extension of the machine. - Each component of body position affects your ability to steer, turn, control the throttle, maintain balance, and spot obstacles quickly. - To master control of your motorcycle, always use correct body position. - Whether sitting or standing, maintain this position. - Stay forward with your weight directly over the footpegs. - Keep your feet on the footpegs with your knees slightly bent. - Press your knees lightly into the gas tank. - Hold the handlegrips firmly to control the motorcycle in tough terrain. Grip with the right wrist down to avoid accidentally giving too much throttle. - If your position is correct, your arms should have to bend slightly to hold the handlegrips.


"A rose by an other name would smell as sweet" from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1600. The delicate petals of this cosmic rose cradle newborn suns in her stellar nursery. The Rosette Nebula, also known as NGC 2237 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Monoceros (The Unicorn). This blossoming flower stretches about 130 light years across and is 5,000 light years from Earth. This incredibly beautiful and colorful photo was taken and processed by David Lindemann from his telescope at his home in the Swiss Alps.

Racism is a global reality Racism is a highly complex social phenomenon that can only be studied on an interdisciplinary basis. So we should start by understanding racism as a worldwide phenomenon that requires a worldwide response. All societies, and all of us in those societies, must address racism in the forms that it manifests itself in our lives and cultures.

Chihiro Iwasaki. Boy and a Nest of Japanese Buntings, 1971 Japanese Children’s Literature Illustrated by Chihiro Iwasaki In this exhibit, we focus on Japanese children’s literature that Chihiro illustrated, examining an aspect of Chihiro’s work that differs from her picture books while also shedding new light on the history of postwar Japanese children’s literature. Highlighting the period that Chihiro was most active in her career, we present works based on Japan’s unique prewar sentiments and social issues, works based on the memories of war that were rapidly fading at the time, and works depicting the loss of hometown nature.


Thomas Doty – Storyteller At the western edge of the Modoc homeland is a moon-shaped ridge called Shapasheni, "where the sun and moon live." In native stories. the sun and moon journey across the sky to their home in the west where they sleep in their lodge. When they wake up, they travel underground through lava caves to rise again in the east. Early settlers found Shapasheni difficult to say. To this day, several landmarks in the area are called Sheepy, a simplified English version of Shapasheni.

This article was originally written in 2011, and was slightly updated in 2014. Filesystem types and (lack of) compatibility Despite the fact that we’re no longer living in the 1980s, filesystem-compatibility between operating systems seems to remain an issue in computer-land. The filesystem basically defines the way in which files are organised on a disk. In the 1980s, the popularity of MS-DOS led to widespread adoption of the FAT filesystem, which was also used in earlier Windows versions (½/3/95/98/ME). As NT-based Windows versions (NT/2000/XP/Vista/7) started becoming the mainstream consumer-versions, more and more computers started using Microsoft’s proprietary NTFS. Nowadays, most external USB harddisks are sold pre-formatted with an NTFS-filesystem, while camera flash-cards and USB thumb-drives tend to still use a FAT32 filesystem. NTFS …read more

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders that affect your connective tissues — primarily your skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Connective tissue is a complex mixture of proteins and other substances that provides strength and elasticity to the underlying structures in your body. People who have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome usually have overly flexible joints and stretchy, fragile skin. This can become a problem if you have a wound that requires stitches, because the skin often isn't strong enough to hold them. A more severe form of the disorder, called vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, can cause the walls of your blood vessels, intestines or uterus to rupture. If you have vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, you may want to talk to a genetic counselor before starting a family.

This KS2 PSHE quiz will help you understand what bullying is and what to do if you think it is happening. Bullying is a very serious situation that can affect anybody at any time. It is a series of unwanted behaviours aimed at a single person with the desire to cause harm or upset them. Bullying can impact on a person's physical and emotional health and should be stopped immediately. Just as anyone can be bullied, anyone can become a bully. It is important that you understand what behaviours are considered bullying so that you can identify if you are being bullied - but also if you are bullying someone else. It is also important that you understand what to do if you, or someone you know, is being bullied in order to keep everyone safe and to stop the behaviours as quickly as possible.


(I) A bird can fly 25 km/h. How long does it take to fly 3.5 km? The speed of the bird is 25 km/h. The bird flies 3.5km at this speed . We will find time for the bird to fly this distance. Let`s think the bird is flying all in the same direction and along a straight path. So distance-displacement and speed-velocity are the same. (the time when the motion starts)


David Colvin Procedures – ACL Reconstruction The cruciate ligaments in the middle of the knee stabilise the knee from front to back and in rotation. Anterior cruciate ligament tears are common in sports such as football and netball. They often occur as a result of a change of direction injury. Cruciate ligament tears cause the knee to be unstable, resulting in episodes of giving way. Reconstruction is usually required if the patient wishes to return to competitive sport.

The brain is composed of many different regions and structures. The brain's communication system permits these various regions and structures to coordinate their activities. Each of these different regions and structures serves different purposes. Addictions can alter these regions and structures. Subsequently, addictions can alter the way brain regions function. In this section, we discuss the regions and structures that are affected by the addictive process. We will review the brain's role in commonly observed problems associated with addiction: 1) Impaired decision-making, impulsivity, and compulsivity, 2) drug-seeking and cravings, 3) habit formation, craving, withdrawal effects, and relapse triggers and 4) stress regulation and withdrawal.

French physicist, inventor, writer, math theorist, and Christian philosopher who created a new geometry problem. His earliest contributions were in the applied and natural sciences where he focused on fluids and the concepts of pressure and vacuum, drawing from the work that had previously been done by Evangelista Torricelli. He helped Pierre de Fermat in developing the theory of probabilities. He invented the mechanical calculator. His theorem was so advanced that many thought his father, a tax collector who provided the bulk of his son's education, had come up with it. He grew up with two sisters named Gilberte and Jacqueline. He, Torricelli, and Galileo Galilei engaged in an intense intellectual battle with Aristotle's followers over the concept of nature abhorring a vacuum.

In a traditional submarine, a propeller is attached to a driveshaft which is turned by a large engine or hydraulic system. These types of systems rely on a great deal of machinery and moving parts, both create lots of noise in an environment where stealth rules supreme. In the "Silent Service", making as little noise as possible to evade detection is always the goal. To that end, a new concept in propulsion called a “Rim-Driven Propeller” or RDP (also known as a Rim-Driven Thruster or Rim-Driven Pumpjet) is being considered. An RDP removes the hub, driveshaft and gearbox from a submarine’s typical propulsion system, thereby giving the sub even greater stealth.


Engine Driven Pumps Engine Driven water pumps are a compact, lightweight and durable means of moving water from one place to another in an efficient way. There are typically two types of water pump available: - a normal water pump which should only be used on freshwater and non corrosive liquids. - a chemical water pump sometimes known as seawater, saltwater or liquid fertiliser pump, which has a durable plastic pump housing. This pump housing resists corrosion and erosion that a metal pump housing would be unable to withstand, ensuring the life of your pump is extended to its fullest capacity. Being powered by a petrol engine means that there is no electrical supply required, so use in remote rural areas is not a problem, plus there is also no risk of electrocution.


Intelligence Definition: This is a persons ability to take on board and develop knowledge to be applied to certain tasks and skills. Many people confuse knowledge with intelligence, seeing knowledgeable people as the most intelligent ones, however we must remember that intelligence is the ability to acquire information and skills, not just remember information when it suits them. Below are a few definitions from famous scholars. What is Intelligence? The capacity of individuals to process information and use the information to behave effectively (including the ability to learn from experience) Intelligence is what intelligence tests measure


Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Hormigas En Un Palo Today in Children's Nutrition we broke out the celery, peanut butter, and raisins for some hands on learning with a healthy snack, Hormigas en un Palo (Ant on a Log). Profe Claudia began the class by talking to the students about why it is important to understand where your food comes from, and how preparing food helps give insight into what you are eating. Then came snack time, the kids lined up to assemble their own 'Ants on a Log' and then chowed down. It was definitely a new snack for many of them and it seemed to be a success!


Size: 27 x 36 inches Artist: Cassandre, Adolphe Mouron The first Davis Cup took place in 1900 and saw the USA take on Great Britain, then playing under the name of the British Isles. It was held at the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston, and the Americans surprised their opponents by racing into an unassailable 3-0 lead. The idea of Davis Cup was conceived a year earlier by four members of the Harvard University tennis team, who wished to set up a match between the USA and Great Britain. Once the two respective national associations had agreed, one of the four players, Dwight Davis, designed a tournament format and ordered a trophy, buying it with his own money. This poster was created for the 1932 Davis cup, reissue in 1982. The poster is in excellent condition and ready to be framed.


The watch automatically measures walking and running activities using an accelerometer. It detects the type of movement linked to walking and running and will only measure these two sports. To ensure measurements are as accurate as possible, you must have a normal stride, i.e. with your arms swinging by your sides. Other movements are not counted (for example: watch not worn on the wrist, etc.). It is normal for steps not to be counted when you are looking at your watch with your wrist facing you. Accuracy depends on the type of ground and the gradient. For better accuracy on an activity, pair your watch with your smartphone.


Political participation of the poor is overall lower because of poverty, bad health and many other factors, but millions of impoverished Americans across the country also die prematurely. For instance, in 2015, research funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Social Security Administration revealed that, since 1990, among the bottom quarter of Americans with the least education, life expectancy has either stagnated or decreased. That’s for well over 40 million people. Add to this negative trend the fact that mortality among the poor increases during middle age — which is when citizens generally get more involved in politics. The premature disappearance of the poor, then, occurs precisely at the moment when they would be expected to reach their “participatory peak” in society. But they don’t live long enough to achieve that milestone. via The New Yorker

An age of dinosaurs that often goes ignored is the Siliconius Period… an era when large heat-resistant reptiles ruled the earth. True story. The T-Rex Oven Mitt is inspired by this era, and will use its silicone exterior to protect your hands from hot baking trays. No mention how these silicone dinosaurs put this to use before we’d even discovered fire. What we do know, is that meteors are probably hotter than 500-degrees fahrenheit. True story.


EXAMPLES FROM THE WEB FOR INCONGRUITY The picture is almost comic in its incongruity with what actually is. Now, it is a mere anomaly and incongruity here, out of date and out of purpose. There is the same element of incongruity, without the tragic consequence. There is an incongruity about death on the battlefield which assails the mind. He felt no incongruity in the veteran Parmenides correcting the youthful Socrates. The oddity and incongruity of her attire attracted attention. His countenance expressed his sense of the incongruity of the union. They are more than double her age, and yet they can see no incongruity in hoping to win her. The incongruity of the word was enough to make one jump out of the chair. What could come of such a collocation of names but a life of incongruity and absurdity!


To the best of my understanding, the quantity of Gibbs free energy of an entity depends on its concentration in the system. Equilibrium is reached when ∆G = 0, or when the Gibbs free energies of all the entities are equal to each other. If Gibbs free energy is dependent on concentration, then at standard conditions, the concentrations of all entities is 1M—this is fixed by convention. How then can you have a ∆Gº value? All the concentrations are fixed and there is no change in concentration nor energy. Is ∆Gº then just a rudimentary concept for those who do not know calculus? Should it be better written as dGº? In a similar vein, though slightly unrelated, I would also want to know if enthalpy is related to concentration, similar to how Gibbs free energy is. Why or why not? If enthalpy is also concentration dependent, then does ∆Hº exist?

volume[ vol-yoom, -yuh m ]SEE DEFINITION OF volume Synonyms for volume - cubic measure EXAMPLES FROM THE WEB FOR VOLUME It is like closing a volume of Ossian and opening the pages of Theocritus. Such discussion would have no proper place in a volume of this kind. Lady Delacour opened the book, which was a volume of Marmontel's Tales. And as she spoke, she took up a volume of plays which lay upon the table. Virginia started from her reverie, but held the volume fast. Nevertheless the Southern fire was great in volume and accuracy. The fire of both sides suddenly doubled and tripled in volume. The second volume of the songs I mentioned to you in my last is published to-day. How are you, my dear friend, and how comes on your fifth volume? The present volume is written in a similar spirit, as it has been similar in its origin.


Soy leghemoglobin is short for legume hemoglobin -- the hemoglobin found in soy, a leguminous plant. Leghemoglobin is a protein found in plants that carries heme, an iron-containing molecule that is essential for life. Heme is found in every living being -- both plants and animals. (Heme in animals is carried by "hemoglobin" and “myoglobin” among other proteins.) Although heme has been consumed every day for hundreds of thousands of years, Impossible Foods discovered that it’s what makes meat taste like meat. We make the Impossible Burger using heme from soy plants, which is identical to heme from animals and gives Impossible its uniquely meaty flavor.


Connected GPS - definition Connected GPS is a term that often relates to when one device is using the GPS hardware of another device. Often used by some fitness trackers when tracking outside activities. For example, the Fitbit Charge 2 uses the GPS information from a connected smartphone. Whilst this means that a smartphone has to be present, it does conserve the battery power of the fitness device.


The first Russian-Mongolian research expedition to study snow leopard numbers in the Republic of Tuva ( tiny republic in the south of Russia) took the first ever photographs of snow leopards in that region. The team found 14 tracks of the cats on the Tsagan-Shibetu ridge in the western part of the country just in the last few weeks. The photos include an adult female with her two grown cubs. Next month the research will continue across the border in Mongolia. Meanwhile the Russian team, along with WWF is also working on the possibility of eco-tourism in the region to support the local people in this remote part of the world where there is little in the way of employment. This is truly good news about snow leopard numbers in this region, a hope that although numbers are small, they may be increasing. Read more about Tuva and see a map at Wikipedia.


Cooking is a great fun way to practise getting both hands to work together. This helps to develop coordination, hand and finger strength and dexterity skills; all skills required for handwriting. However, it is amazing how much talk can come from this as well, not just at the time with you, but when they share the day’s experience with others later on (developing their phonological awareness). An added benefit at this time of year is that you can do ‘Pick Your Own’. Getting out and about and encouraging your child to pick their own fruit is not only great fun but another sneaky way of working on their hand and finger strength. There are so many recipes, especially online, for making quick easy great tasting food. So, if the sun is shining, or it is just not raining, get out there find your local ‘Pick Your Own’ and get cooking!


In the 11th century the Danish King Canute united all the kingdoms of Great Britain, just in time for Duke William II of Normandy to conquer the land. The Normans used their well-practiced skills to assimilate into the local population and help develop the language and culture of Great Britain. Henry VIII (1509-47) was the first king to turn his attention to the sea, resulting in Great Britain becoming a world power by the time of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). By the 19th century, Great Britain -- now the United Kingdom -- had travelled the globe building one of the biggest empires ever seen. This lasted until the 20th century, when two world wars exhausted the UK's resources and set the stage for independence in the colonies.

What is the Long Q-T syndrome(LQTS)? Long Q-T syndrome (L.Q.T.S.) is an inherited or acquired heart rhythm disorder that can be found even in healthy people. Usually the problem attacks children or young adults. More often it is inherited, this why it’s almost always congenital. Simultaneously with the emitting an electrical impact, heart contracts. By the electrocardiogram the signal can be writen down like a some waveform. Letters P, Q, R, S and T designate this and that intervals of the drawing. According to all that, the Q-T interval means the interval of heartbeat i.e. electric “on” and “off” of the ventricles. The time it takes for the Q-T interval to occur (in no time, in milliseconds) can tell your doctor if it happens in a right period of time. If it takes more than that, it is called a prolonged Q-T interval.


Common Greenshield Lichen (Flavoparmelia caperata) is a widespread and extremely common lichen. It is found firmly attached to the bark of broadleaved trees, fenceposts, and occasionally to rocks. It appears as a yellowish-green disk, 2″ to 8″ in diameter, divided into numerous irregular lobes. Unlike most lichens, Greenshield lichens (Flavoparmelia spp.) are relatively tolerant of air pollution. They are among the first noticeable lichens to return to areas that have been rid of lichens due to pollution. The Greenshield lichens are similar in appearance. Common Greenshield Lichen is identified by its substrate, which is usually tree bark or a fence post; and by the upper surface, which does not have white pores or pustule-like growths.

The magnetic field inside a cylindrical solenoid of area 4 cm^2 is 0.15 T along the axis of the solenoid. What is the magnetic flux through a disk of radius 3 cm placed perpendicular to the solenoid axis? [tex]\phi = \zeta B * dA [/tex] The Attempt at a Solution Well the area is 4 cm^2 and B is 0.15, so 6E-5 Wb is the answer, but I'm a little confused here. I thought flux for a closed surface was always 0 (gauss' law for magnetism)? What's going on here?


The rainbow is a natural phenomenon which has delighted people for thousands of years. Most cultures consider the rainbow with affection; it is usually associated with beauty and peace. We start the talk by looking at various pictures of rainbows from history and art and consider some of the features of rainbows, such as: • The rainbow we see is part of a circular arc; • We can often see two rainbows; • There is always the same order of colours in a rainbow; We show geometrically how a rainbow is formed and discover many of the properties of rainbows, and finish with further slides of more unusual phenomena in the sky.

It leads to improved concentration, learning, confidence, balance and enhances sporting ability. Are You Over 40? As we mature our visual function changes. Our near focussing becomes more difficult and we are more at risk of age-related eye disease.


The German Flags were first adopted as the national flag of modern Germany in 1919. Germany has two competing traditions of national colors, black-red-gold and black-white-red. They were also adopted by the German Democratic Republic. This is the flag most used by Germany’s national sporting teams. Bavarian Flags are a way to represent the Bavarian Region of Germany. There is no specific code to this flag, as long as it has the blue and white design. There isn’t a specific number of whites or blues like in most flags. Therefore, the classic Bavarian Blue we offer in many of our Dirndls, this flag will help your German Heritage shine.


The river birch is commonly planted urban tree. It can be found in single stem for or with multiple stems. The single stem form is sometimes used on boulevards and does quite well in this setting as long as the soil is on the acidic side (6.5 and below); chlorosis will develop is it isn't. In the wild, the river birch can be found along the banks of streams and lakes. This is the possibly the most resistant birch to Bronze Birch Borer.


The Capital of Mizoram is Aizawl. The Mizoram State Legislative Assembly has 40 seats. Mizoram is now represented at the Parliament by two members, one in the Lok Sabha and the other in the Rajya Sabha.

One parent, one language: The first rule in raising a bilingual child is to ensure that the same language is maintained by the same parent. This is known as the ‘One parent, one language’ approach. Sticking to this rule may be difficult if one of the languages is spoken in the country in which you live. For example, if a mother is French and the father is Spanish and the family lives in Spain, Spanish will be learned with greater ease for the child. Therefore, experts say that the mother in this situation must find at least 25 hours a week wherein the child is exposed to French in order for fluency to develop.

Drones typically use advanced lithium co-polymer (LiPo) batteries that have very high energy density. They are safe when managed correctly so care should be taken when handling, charging, or discharging these batteries. General battery safety guidelines are as follows: - Use a DJI designated battery charger to charge any DJI battery - Understand how to operate the battery charger before using - Never leave batteries charging while unattended - Protect batteries from impact and puncture - Do not use batteries if they appear puffy or swollen - Maintain battery temperature between 10°C - 35°C *Please note that while Skycatch provides the above advice, individuals are responsible for keeping up to date on safe practices for handling lithium batteries.


The Silver Maple is a relatively fast-growing tree, commonly reaching a height of 65-100 ft. It may live 130 years or more. In many parts of the eastern U.S., the large buds of the Silver maple are one of the primary food sources for squirrels during the spring after many acorns and nuts have sprouted and the squirrels' food is scarce. It is widely used as an ornamental tree because of its rapid growth and ease of propagation and transplanting. It is highly tolerant of urban conditions. Although it naturally is found near water, it can grow on drier ground if planted there. The leaves are deeply cut and silvery white underneath. They appear as light green and turn to golden yellow in the fall. This deciduous tree provides very dense shade.


- Africa’s agricultural sector is characterized by informal and low-productive labour and is associated with hard physical work, low wages and uncertainty. Working the land has become highly unpopular, particularly among African youth. To secure food production and future employment, it is therefore imperative that the agricultural sector is transformed. - NGOs and companies are trying to make agriculture more attractive to young people and remove obstacles to their involvement, for example by improving their access to information, education, land, financial services and markets. - Strategies should focus on promoting youth entrepreneurship and innovation, challenging cultural and financial barriers, and engaging young people in policy dialogue to allow them to take a leadership role in agriculture.

Mount Longonot; Vista Mount Longonot is a young dormant volcano created during volcanic eruptions that formed the great Rift Valley. The name Longonot is derived from the Maasai word Oloongong’ot meaning mountains of many spurs or steep ridges. Some views of the Mountain. Pictures courtesy of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). The ecosystem inside the crater is completely different from the outside. The sides of the mountain are dry with sparse vegetation cover. The massive crater floor is covered in a sea of green, probably due to the fertile volcanic soils which are much more conducive to plant life. At about 70 km from Nairobi Mt. Longonot seems a great adventure. Activities within the mountain include hiking, rock climbing, biking and observing birds and wildlife.

The medieval church in Jabreilles les Bordes This medieval church is a classified Historical Monument. Its wood-carved architecture is similar to the gateways found in Jesuit Institutions. This gorgeous 13th-15th century church has a typical porch containing a wooden stairway leading to the bell-tower. The octagonal bell-tower is also typical of the Limousin region, and its roof is made of chestnut tiles. There are many paintings on the walls, representing 15th century figures. Lithophany is the innovative technique used to restore the church’s stained-glass windows in Jabreilles les Bordes. Lithophany is a technique which began in the 19th century but is no longer used today. It is a reminder of the importance of porcelain in Limousin: it involves impressing porcelain objects with figures that become translucent when light is placed within or behind them.


Dyscalculia affects around 5% of children, a smaller proportion than those affected by dyslexia (the rate of occurrence for dyslexia in the United States is approximately 15%). This has resulted in dyscalculia remaining relatively unknown; many people are not even familiar with the term. What effect could this have on children with dyscalculia? Imagine struggling every day at school with number problems that your peers master far more quickly than you do. Your teacher is beginning to lose patience with you and your parents think you are just not trying hard enough. They don´t understand that you are trying hard every day, but even basic arithmetic concepts make no sense to you. You are called lazy or stupid or both. Read more

Treatment of liver disease in alpha-1 Liver disease due to alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency (also known as alpha-1) is treated using the same general supportive measures as other types of liver disease. The goal is to lessen the impact of complications (eg, cirrhosis) or prevent them altogether.1 - In cases where the liver disease becomes life-threatening, liver transplantation has become common. - Assuming that the donor does not have alpha-1 (eg, has a Pi MM genotype), the transplant will also resolve the alpha-1 and serum levels of A1AT will return to the normal range. - Most patients with a Pi ZZ genotype are followed annually by a liver specialist, but management is typically conservative in the absence of signs or symptoms of liver disease.

FAIRBANKS — Wildlife authorities are warning Interior Alaska residents to beware of hares. Alaska Department of Fish and Game veterinarian Kimberlee Beckmen says tularemia is showing up in hares. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports tularemia can be transmitted to dogs and cats that mouth or catch sick hares. The disease is spread by bacteria through hare and vole ticks. It's most often seen in summer when ticks are most active. Late stages of the disease can make hares slow and easy to catch by pets. People can become infected by handling hares or coming into contact with an infected pet's saliva. The most common symptoms in people and pets are lethargy, high fever and swollen lymph nodes. The disease can be fatal if untreated but cured with antibiotics if diagnosed quickly.


Adi Granth, also called Granth or Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of Sikhism, a religion of India. It is a collection of nearly 6,000 hymns of the Sikh Gurus and various early and medieval saints of different religions and castes.The Adi Granth is the central object of worship in all gurdwaras (Sikh temples) and is accorded the reverence paid a living Guru. It is ritually opened in the morning and wrapped up and put away for the night. On special occasions, continuous readings of it are held, which last from 2 to 15 days. On the birthdays of the Gurus or anniversaries commemorating Sikh martyrs, the Granth is sometimes taken out in procession.

Meningitis is an infection of the brain and its surrounding membranes. The symptoms of meningitis are often non-specific and this makes it dangerously hard to detect. However, the disease is highly preventable through immunisation. Follow Dr Yong Junina Fadzil as she recounts the day she lost a patient to meningitis and explains how you can help prevent the disease from spreading by identifying its early signs. Dr Yong also highlights vaccines that help prevent the disease.


Tibetan Terrier Dog Breed This very ancient breed has developed to survive the harsh conditions of Tibet with its extremes of weather and terrain. These dogs were kept in the monasteries and used by the nomads to herd and guard their animals. The breed was rarely seen outside of Tibet until Dr. Greig was presented with one as a present for treating a sick Tibetan. She brought them back to the United Kingdom in the 1920’s and it is these dogs that formed the basis of the breed we now see. They are lively and good-natured, as well as a loyal companion dog. Despite being outgoing, they tend to be wary of strangers.


Tool to convert a number from a base to another This tool changes a number from one base to another, eg decimal to binary or decimal to hexadecimal. Simply choose the base in which is the number is and the desired destination base. The function used to perform the basic change is limited from 2 to 35. The possible characters are the numbers from 0 to 9 and the letters from a to z.Our tool use the PHP function This function takes 3 paramters : - Number (to be converted) - From the base - To the base base_convertloses accuracy on large numbers and decimal numbers. Indeed, numbers are converted into binary to be computed and these representations have a limited length. Not all numbers can be represented accuratly by a computer. This concerns especially the decimals.


Materials and Tools: large wooden beads 1. Cut fabric scraps into a rough square shape; the length and width of the square should be slightly larger than dimension around the bead. 2. Coat the bead with glue. Roll the back of the fabric down the center of the bead, making sure not to cover the holes. Add an extra drop of glue to secure the ends. Trim away any excess fabric. 3. Apply glue to the bead holes and tuck the ends of the fabric into the holes using the pointed end of the skewer. Let the glue dry before stringing the beads. Note: Beads with large holes work best for this technique, but the holes can still become plugged with fabric. When making a necklace, it’s easiest to string the beads onto a cord threaded through a needle.


The tug of war between breast cancer and the immune system Breast cancers can often protect themselves from the body’s natural defense mechanism – the immune system – which can make them difficult to treat. Dr Josie Ursini-Siegel and her team found that a specific protein in breast cancer can suppress the functions of the immune system to support the growth and survival of tumour cells. The team found that blocking this protein can increase cancer cells’ sensitivity to immunotherapy, which could eventually lead to new treatment strategies.

This memorial pays tribute to what is perhaps a lesser known tragedy from Nazi Germany. During the 1930s and 1940s, 96 members of the German parliament were prosecuted and eventually killed for disloyalty to the socialist regime. The memorial sits in front of the Reichstag, where the German Parliament meets today. Further west of Checkpoint Charlie, sits an imposing watchtower known in German as the Rundblickbeobachtungsturm. The tower is the last the last of its kind still standing, the others being later replaced with bigger versions. This particular tower dates back to the 1960s and was declared a historic monument in 2001. Situated a five-minute walk away from the checkpoint on Niederkirchnerstraße, right behind Prussian buildings and the Martin-Gropius-Bau, is a 200m (656 feet)- long original piece of the so-called Grenzmauer 75, the fourth generation of the Berlin Wall.

By Morgan Kinney WHILE RICE STUDENTS CHEERED the announcement of a sorely needed new wing for the school’s Hanszen College, outsiders heralded the project as a Houston milestone: the city’s first structure constructed from something called mass timber. The newfangled building practice usually starts with everyday lumber stacked Jenga-style and bonded together to create a composite that’s both super-strong and fire-resistant. Manufacturers use it to create built-to-specification walls, beams, columns, and whatever else goes into a particular building. “Once you send the blueprints to the factory, they manufacture it, and all you have to do is assemble,” explains Jesús Vassallo, the Rice architecture professor and mass timber expert overseeing the university’s project.


Accommodative esotropia is one of the most common types of strabismus (crossed-eye) in childhood. The incidence is estimated at 2% of the population. It is usually found in patients with moderate amounts of hyperopia. As the patient accommodates or focuses the eyes, the eyes converge. The over-convergence associated with the accommodation to overcome a hyperopic refractive error can cause a loss of binocular control and lead to the development of esotropia.

PRINT AS PDF The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, revealed that people aged 23 to 26 with a Bachelor’s Degree or higher had lower unemployment rates than their peers who had not earned a college degree. In general, those aged 23 to 26 during the 2003-11 period with at least a college degree had an average unemployment rate that were just 41% of the average for those who had only a high school diplomat and 55% of that for those who had some college or an associate degree. This data argues that completion of a college degree within 4-6 years markedly improves one’s prospects of employment. This data can be used by a range of offices from Admissions to Advising to build a stronger framework for encouraging persistence and degree attainment in a timely fashion.


4 Language in ethnicity Developing an understanding of conflict in relation to language in ethnicity requires a language-specific model which accounts for the postmodern condition, characterised by society in a state of flux, instability and fracture. It has already been noted that Bourdieu's model, which centres on the concept of society as habitus, is most effective when applied to stable, bounded and homogenous societies: The single linguistic community, or the unified linguistic market, to which Bourdieu refers is most clearly represented in and by the homogenous civic culture of the modern nation-state. (May, 2001: 156) So while the idea of discourse, adopted from this model, will be returned to at a later point in this work, ...


As an avid foreign language learner, I believe that reading classical literature is an essential element on the way to mastery. However, it’s easy to get discouraged by the complexity of the text and a big amount of new words. This reading guide is meant to help you focus on a limited number of new vocabulary, as well as to foster a better understanding of the novel. It consists of 16 units, each of them containing vocabulary exercises and comprehension questions. The guide assignments can be used both for self-study and in the classroom.


The German Shepherd (German: Deutscher Schäferhund, German pronunciation: [ˈdɔʏtʃɐ ˈʃɛːfɐˌhʊnt]) is a breed of medium to large-sized working dog that originated in Germany. In the English language, the breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog (sometimes abbreviated as GSD). The breed was officially known as the Alsatian in the UK from after the First World War until 1977 when its name was changed back to German Shepherd. Despite its primitive, wolf-like appearance the German Shepherd is a relatively modern breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899. This site contains full information about German Shepherd Dog Puppy.


In 1925 8-year-old Robert Bloch saw "The Phantom of the Opera". He was terrified when Lon Chaney removed his mask. That terror also sparked Bloch's interest in horror and sci-fi. By the 1930s Bloch began writing to sci-fi author H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft became Bloch's mentor. In 1935 Bloch wrote The Shambler from the Stars. In the story a character based on Lovecraft dies. The next year Lovecraft returned the favor in The Haunter in the Dark. He killed a character based on Bloch. Lovecraft dedicated the story to Bloch. H. P. Lovecraft died in 1937. Bloch became a popular sci-fi, horror, and crime writer. Robert Bloch's papers fill 394 boxes at UW's American Heritage Center.

Somewhere in the dim and dark void about 65,000 miles above the blue clouds of Neptune there’s a little moon, just 12 miles across, that orbits its home about once every Earth day. It’s Neptune’s smallest known moon, and it’s been there for eons, but we’ve only just discovered it! Neptune is now known to have 14 natural satellites. The new moon, sexily dubbed S/2004 N1, is so very tiny and very dim that it’s escaped detection until now. Even Voyager 2, NASA’s landmark space exploration vehicle, missed it while racing through the Neptunian system in 1989, close enough to snap detailed pictures of Neptune’s most famous moon, Triton. S/2004 N1 was found during analysis of about 150 archived photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Mark Showalter of the SETI institute was looking at Neptune’s ring arcs–which are like smaller, incomplete versions of Saturn’s rings.

This lesson introduces how the brain interprets information obtained from our sensory system. Humans have more than 5 familiar senses (sight, touch, smell, hear, and taste) and the ability to integrate these multisensory information is a key to the sense of body ownership, known as proprioception. Proprioception, or the sense of where our body is in space, both during stillness and movement, is directly related to self-consciousness. The students will experience the perturbation of their proprioception through the activity and their sense of sight overriding their sense of touch. Our brains are not “static” per se.


In Europe and the world today, young people are still facing challenges and barriers to accessing their rights. As young people are moving between two stages of life – childhood and adulthood – they can be particularly vulnerable to discrimination in various forms. They often encounter difficulties in accessing education, quality employment, social protection and full access to civil and political rights, limiting their potential. Although existing human rights frameworks are universal, there still remains a need for specific protection to tackle discrimination against young people and to ensure their rights are fully recognised and protected. Discover more about youth rights with our online tool!


The negator m´eiy˘ou can be used without y˘ou when negating a completed event. For instance, the meaning of the two sentences 他昨天沒有來 (tā zuó tiān méi yǒu lái/ He did not come yesterday.) and 他昨天沒來 (tā zuó tiān méi lái) are exactly the same. However, 沒有 (m´eiy˘ou) cannot be shortened to 沒 (m´ei) if the negation marker is placed to negate an existential sentence. For example, 有 (y˘ou) cannot be omitted in the sentence 我沒有很多書 (w˘o m´ei y˘ou h˘en-du¯o sh¯u/ I do not have many books.) because it functions as the predicate of an existential sentence.

How do we eradicate violent extremism in our societies? Ambassador Choonghee Hahn says that the long-term solution is to inculcate in children a “positive sense of identity, empathy, and inclusion”. Global citizenship must be introduced in the early stage of child development, using methods that are truly age appropriate. The goal here is not to create spiritual or religious children, but rather, to develop adults who are can learn together and live together with mutual understanding and respect for each other. Global citizenship upholds the sacred role of the human being, and the importance of the communities that safeguards the higher values of peace, understanding, and compassion.

3 Strategies for Teaching English Learners Academic Language A common misconception among teachers is that if a student can speak English fluently, he or she does not need extra accommodations in order to grasp the curriculum. In reality, many students struggle with academic language because their exposure to language outside of school does not include advanced words and phrases. To view the original blog, visit: 3 Strategies for Teaching English Learners Academic Language Featured White Paper: Often referred to as “the language of school”, academic language encompasses the words and phrases that characterize the texts, discussions, and assessments that students encounter in educational settings. Read this white paper by Lexia's assessment experts for academic language instructional strategies you can use in both elementary and secondary classrooms.


Enhancement of the contributions of African aluminium, copper, Iron and steel industries towards the regions, economic advancement Author(s)/Corporate Author (s)United Nations. Economic Commission for Africa; MetadataShow full item record Aluminium, copper and steel are used in various capital intensive industries such as transport (aluminium parts for motor vehicles, copper for equipment parts for the road, rail and water transport sectors; and steel for rail roads, automobiles and ships); mechanical engineering (industrial equipment and plants); construction (general infrastructure, buildings and houses); electrical engineering (aluminium and copper); and a wide variety of consumer goods. Hence the higher the intensify of consumption of these basic metals the healthier would be the economic performance of a country.


As part of the Spanish curriculum, K-6th grade had the opportunity to be part of one of the most important traditions in Mexico and South America. They learned that Dia de los Muertos is a happy day, a day to remember those who left us, a day to remember their lives. We had an ofrenda in which we put flowers and candles, similar to the actual ones, so the students could get a proper idea of what the holiday represents and how does it looks. We also had a traditional treat for this day: Pan de muerto, a sweet bread. The students made their own papel picado (paper cut) to decorate their classes.


Aluminum Brazing Filler Metals Aluminum brazing alloys are used to join brazeable aluminum base metals. Silicon and copper are typically added to pure aluminum to lower melting range and provide a suitable joining material. Magnesium can also be added to aluminum to assist in the facilitation of oxide dispersion in vacuum brazing. In most aluminum brazing cases, a flux is required to remove and prevent surface oxides in addition to wetting the base metal. Aluminum alloys are widely used in the HVAC, automotive, and refrigeration industries.


The Vanishing History Project Every state requires government employees to archive official communications so they can be located and produced when needed. Retention policies, however, haven’t kept pace with the way people communicate in the 21st century. As a result, vast amounts of government correspondence — texts, emails, social-media messages — are routinely destroyed without consequence. The Vanishing History Project spotlights what’s lost when agencies fail to capture, organize and produce electronic communications, and develops model protocols for data retention and production.
