Latticed Heath Chiasmia clathrata (Linnaeus, 1758)[Synonyms: Semiothisa clathrata] Wingspan 20-25 mm. Quite a variable species, with several named forms and subspecies, and the ground colour varying from yellowish to white. It occurs in a range of open habitats, including moorland, grassland and waste ground, and is widely distributed through most of Britain. There are usually two generations, especially in the south, flying in May and June, and August and September, and the species flies by day as well as at night. The larvae feed on lucerne (Medicago sativa) and clover (Trifolium).


Start the year off with one of Shakespeare’s favorite forms. Write a sonnet, a poem comprising fourteen lines that incorporates the following rhyme scheme: a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g. (For example, the words at the end of the first and third lines rhyme, etc.) Before you begin, flip through any book and select seven words at random. Use these words, or variations of them, in the poem. Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.


This is the blog for the Waitsfield Elementary School Art Program in Waitsfield Vermont. This site is maintained by Nora McDonough. It contains photographs and information about past and current art projects completed at all levels, K-6. What is repetition, pattern, and rhythm? How do they relate to each other? Repetition refers to one object or shape repeated; pattern is a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement; rhythm--is a combination of elements repeated, but with variations.

Glucose is the major source of energy for the brain, nervous system, muscles, and many other body’s processes. When glucose levels are low, decision-making, critical thinking, willpower, and self-control can be impaired. Go easy on simple carbs (especially white sugar, flour, rice, and processed foods made from them) in favor of healthier complex carbs, the preferred source. They can help you maintain your weight in an optimum range as you need smaller amounts to feel satisfied and feel full longer, as compared to foods containing simple sugars and high-fructose corn syrup). Natural food sources of glucose include whole grains, legumes, and vegetables. Examples of high-starch veggies are corn, zucchini, and squash. Low-starch veggies include tomatoes and onions, asparagus and celery, mushrooms, cauliflower, green beans, cabbage, cucumbers, and red and green peppers, etc.


THE Antarctic glacier that most worries scientists is melting at a much faster rate than expected. Pine Island Glacier, west Antarctica's largest, has thinned four times more quickly over a decade than anticipated. British scientists say this has serious implications for the rise in global sea levels. Ice currently held back by the glacier would lift global sea levels by about 30 centimetres if it melted, said Leeds University researcher Andrew Shepherd. ''[The] Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's sea level projections will need to be revised,'' he said. The panel's 2007 prediction of a sea level rise of up to 59 centimetres by 2095 cautioned that there should be an allowance for another 10 to 20 centimetres from polar ice sheets. The giant glacier, which is grounded, is unlike Antarctica's floating ice shelves whose recent collapses did not directly affect sea levels.


Fish and other aquatic organisms, both freshwater and marine, have evolved for millions of years in a natural electrically grounded environment. Since many of the fishes physiological functions (e.g. lateral line system) are electrical in nature, one could assume that a certain degree of stress would result by placing the fish in an ungrounded environment, such as an aquarium. The presence of low induced voltages in aquariums (especially marine) from close contact to unshielded equipment (powerheads, heaters, lights, etc.) is also cause for concern. Many have suggested that Lateral Line/Hole in the Head (LLHH) disease is caused by or aggravated by these induced voltages. Ti-Ground effectively provides a pathway for these electrical currents to leave your aquarium. Ti-Ground is constructed from commercially pure titanium, which is non-corrosive and harmless to your aquarium inhabitants.


Advanced Options – Plates Spectra from the SDSS are obtained by sending light from the target through fiber optic cables to a spectrograph. In the SDSS-III Survey, one thousand objects are analyzed at a time. The 1000 fiber optic cables are held in a precise location by fitting them into a hole drilled in an aluminum plate. The section of the sky captured by one plate is outlined when you select Plates from Advanced Options. The image on this page is zoomed out by a factor of 256 to reveal the plate boundaries. As you can see, the plates overlap. In combination with the Objects with spectra option selected from Drawing options, an astronomer can see that there are objects in the database that may have more than one spectrum. How might looking at two spectra for the same object be useful?


Tonsil stones can easily look like white spots on the tonsils. They form in small pocket-like structures in the tonsils called tonsillar crypts. The pockets collect bacteria, dead cells, food particles and mucus caused by post nasal drip. Because they're usually white, off-white, or yellow-white in color, people who have tonsil stones frequently complain of white spots on their tonsils, especially as the stones grow larger and protrude from the tonsils. Doctors estimate about six percent or more of the general population suffers from tonsil stones at some point.


Upper Elementary (2nd – 4th grade) This year we are using a new program “Signs of Our Faith: Being UU Every Day”. It guides children to do their best to live faithful lives every day. It presents fourteen traits or values that most Unitarian Universalist love, including the quest for knowledge, reverence for life, supporting one another on our faith journeys, and public witness. Children examine how their lives do and can exhibit these traits and values, and come to understand that their faith is a living faith whose histories and teachings are fortifications for living faithfully in a complex world.

“The makaʻāinana were the planters and fishers who lived on (ma) the (ka) lands (‘āina;) the final na is a plural substantive.” Or, they may be viewed as maka (eye) ‘āina (land) – ‘the eyes of the land.’ Pukui notes the name literally translates to ‘people that attend the land.’ “They were the commoners who were a class distinct and apart from the aliʻi, or class of chiefs, the temple kahuna or priests, koa or warriors, and konohiki or overseers.” The rulers were set apart from the general populace, the makaʻāinana, by an elaborate, strictly enforced series of kapu or restrictions. The makaʻāinana made up the largest segment of the population. In addition to their work as the planters and the fishermen they were the craftsmen and the soldiers. They were the major source of manpower.


A deep understanding of the meaning of multiplication is necessary for comprehending word problems. I enjoy teaching multiplication in a hands-on way using blocks or other manipulatives.

The last time I visited in the Rockies was in 1987 but I still remember it clearly today. The Canadian Rockies comprise the Canadian segment of the North American Rocky Mountains. They are the eastern part of the Canadian Cordillera, which is a system of multiple ranges of mountains which runs from the Canadian Prairies to the Pacific Coast. The Canadian Rockies mountain system comprises the southeastern part of this system, laying between the Interior Plains of Alberta and Northeastern British Columbia on the east to the Rocky Mountain Trench of BC on the west. The southern end borders Idaho and Montana of the USA. In geographic terms the boundary is at the Canada/US border, but in geological terms it might be considered to be at Marias Pass in northern Montana. The northern end is at the Liard River in northern British Columbia. oil on jacksons premium stretched canvas

Waste products can generally be classified as follows: Certain bacteria break down biodegradable wastes to non-poisonous substances. These wastes should be properly and efficiently treated. Sometimes biodegradable wastes are recycled. Taking for example, cow-dung may be used for the preparation of gobar gas which gives us heat and light. Compost is another use of recycling biodegradable wastes. But under non-biodegradable wastes, D.D.T., plastics, aluminum wastes etc. are major pollutants. These cannot be made less toxic easily. Steps should be taken to reduce pollution caused by the smoke etc. of vehicles and industries. Radio-active waste is a dangerous pollutant. It should be handled properly and efficiently.

|Even makeup may contain phthalates. | Source: Tiffany Bailey (CC: 2.0) Besides BPA, another hormone-disrupting class of chemical called phthalates has also been shown to increase obesity. These are found in personal care and cosmetic products; plastics and even in medication and supplement coatings. While phthalate exposure is near universal, one study has shown that children with the highest levels of DEHP, one of the phthalates, had five times the risk of obesity compared to children with the lowest levels! Together with BPA and other hormone disrupting chemicals, this may help to explain why the rate of childhood obesity in the USA has grown from 7% in 1980, to over 40% in 2008, with 15% of 6-19 year olds classed as "obese". In conclusion, if diet and exercise aren't shifting unwanted weight in you or your child, it may be time to look at what chemicals you are being exposed to.

The roadbed compensates for minor terrain irregularities by filling in low spots, or fills, and cutting through high spots, or cuts. The two types of cuts, sidehill and through, are diagramed in figure 2.2. But where there are fills and cuts, there are slopes; and where there are slopes, there are problems of erosion and stability. In the following subparagraphs, sidehill and through cuts, fills, and slopes are discussed. Figure 2.2. Kinds of Cuts.

This is the oldest known form of tea. Once the tea is plucked it is frequently, but not always, laid out on withering trays where it is exposed to air which causes the cellular structure of the leaf to weaken and become more supple. Immediately after withering green tea is pan fired or steamed to prevent the leaf from oxidizing. Finally, it is rolled to achieve its final shape and then dried in hot air convection ovens to reduce the moisture content to less than 6%. It is then sorted to remove broken pieces and stems. Green and white tea share the distinction of being the healthiest forms of tea. EGCG, an important catechin found in green and white tea is proven to aid in the prevention of cancer and heart disease. For more information on the health benefits of green tea, please see our tea master's article on the subject.


Civil lawsuits are claims in which one person, company or entity sues another. Civil lawsuits are fundamentally different from criminal ones. First, civil lawsuits are not brought by a prosecutor, district attorney or agent of the state, but instead are brought by an individual or an entity (like a corporation). Second, the remedies sought in civil lawsuits are generally limited to monetary damages, whereas criminal cases often lead to jail time. Special rules of court procedure apply to both civil and criminal cases and dictate what evidence is admissible and what must be proven for a plaintiff or a defendant to prevail.

Increased access to superfast broadband is at the heart of the European Commission’s five-year plan for the digital economy. The European Commission’s Digital Agenda sets out proposals to connect all European citizens to broadband by 2013 and half of the European Union’s population to superfast networks with speeds of up to 100Mbps by 2020. According to the Commission, a third of European citizens, or 150 million people, have never used the internet. Although many are elderly and have no desire or need to access the web , it said that the Continent was also suffering from a lack of skills. It warned that as a result, Europe could fail to fill 700,000 high-tech jobs by 2015. Neelie Kroes, the Digital Affairs Commissioner, also highlighted the…

Reducing Power Consumption Using the Border Gateway Protocol In this paper, the authors propose a framework to reduce the aggregate power consumption of the Internet using a collaborative approach between Autonomous Systems (AS). They identify the low-power paths between the AS and then use Traffic Engineering techniques to route packets along the paths. Such low-power paths can be identified by using the available PoWeR-to-bandwidth (PWR) ratio as an additional constraint in the Constrained Shortest Path First algorithm. For re-routing the data traffic through these low-power paths, the inter-AS Traffic Engineered Label Switched Path that spans multiple AS can be used.

The Ten Commandments were given by God to Moses in the book of Exodus, chapter 20. Note: The Roman Catholic church has conveniently omitted the second commandment dealing with the worship of images and idols, and have split the last commandment (i.e. the 10th), into two parts, to make up ten commandments. This means that the Catholic version of the Ten Commandments reads like this: The last two items are in fact one commandment in the Bible. This is a perversion of the Bible to justify the practice of idolatry in Roman Catholicism.


Getting our science out to the public is one of our most important goals. We’re lucky that we get to go to work every day and solve problems that we find fascinating and we want everyone to have the opportunity to read about, join in, and get amped on our science too! Luckily we’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with a number of scientific and non-scientific news outlets who help us better tell the story of what we do every day. Many of these outlets are excellent resources for all types of science news, so get out there and get your science on!

Bristol Porcelain Factory, 1772-1775 The Victoria & Albert Museum Made between 1772 and 1775, this hard-paste porcelain figure is the work of the Bristol Porcelain Factory. Painted in enamels, we have a figure of Earth as a young man with a cloak of dark brown thrown over his shoulders. His sleeveless tunic is adorned with a floral design and, on his feet, he wears purple sandals. His attributes, appropriate for his role, are a basket of produce, a rake and a hoe. This is one of four figures—emblematic of the Elements: Earth, Wind, Fire and Water—which were produced during the early 1770s by the Bristol factory.


The role of a lawyer in a democratic society is significant in that lawyers ensure that the democracy is functional and its citizens enjoy fundamental human rights. Acting as advocates and advisers, lawyers also play an important role in virtually all business transactions in this country. And yet, as critical as they are to society, lawyers are reported to be the most frequently depressed occupational group in the United States. A new study by the American Bar Association and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation found that 28 percent of over 12,825 practicing lawyers polled reported a problem with depression. This is over three times the rate found in the general population.

In Chapter 2–Chapter 4 you learned how bit patterns can be used to represent data. And in Chapter 5–Chapter 7 you learned how bits can be implemented in hardware and used to perform computations. In this Chapter you will see some machine code (bit patterns) that are represented by assembly language instructions. This will only be an introduction. You will need to consult ARM manuals ( e.g., [A.1.1], [A.1.2]) for all the details. We will examine some common operations—assignment and branching.


The QRS complex indicates ventricular depolarization. Depolarization triggers contraction of the ventricles. Because of the larger tissue mass, the QRS complex is larger than the P wave. While the prototypical QRS complex consists of three wave components, one or two of these components may be missing. In this step, measure the QRS interval from the end of the PR interval to the end of the S wave. Use calipers, marking paper or by counting small boxes. Normally this interval is 0.08 to 0.10 seconds. - Does the QRS interval fall within the range of 0.08-0.10 seconds? - Are the QRS complexes similar in appearance across the ECG tracing?

Click Image To Enlarge Root end surgery, also known as apicoectomy, is an endodontic surgical procedure. In that procedure, a tooth’s root tip as well as the surrounding infected bone are removed in an effort to eradicate a lingering infection. To finish the treatment, a root end preparation is prepared and filled with a biocompatible material. Apicoectomy is performed when the infection (abscess) around a root canal treated tooth fails to resolve or returns after a period of time. In most cases, this treatment is performed by an oral surgeon or endodontist. This treatment is at times necessary when the infection returns to the area around the root of a tooth treated with root canal therapy. State of the art procedures make use of microsurgical techniques, such as a dental operating microscope, microinstruments, ultrasonic preparation tips and modern filling materials.


To calculate the percentage of error, subtract the experimental value from the exact value, divide the difference by the exact value and multiply the final answer by 100 percent. You need to know the experimental value and the exact value to complete this task.Continue Reading Subtract the experimental value from the exact value to get the error value. Divide the error value by the exact value, and record the answer in decimal form. Multiply the quotient in step two above by 100 percent to get the percentage of error. For instance, if the exact value is 30 and the experimental value is 27, the percentage of error is 10 percent.


Medical Definition of CA 125 CA 125: Cancer antigen 125, a protein normally made by certain cells in the body, including those of the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and lining of the chest and abdominal cavities (the pleura and peritoneum). When CA 125 is found in higher than normal amounts (more than 35 kU/ml), it is considered a marker for cancer. Benign conditions that can raise CA 125 include infections of the lining of the abdomen and chest, menstruation, pregnancy, endometriosis, and liver disease. Benign tumors of the ovaries can also cause abnormal test results.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary Last Editorial Review: 1/24/2017 Medical Dictionary Definitions A - Z Search Medical Dictionary - A Holistic Approach to Cancer Treatment - Complementary Treatments for Cancer - Is This the Most Effective Cancer Treatment?


Although we are making leaps and bounds when it comes to recycling, cities are still trying to tweak the system, making it easier for both us and for the garbage workers; coming to their aid, designers are conceptualizing different ways to do just that—take the Ingrid Njono ‘Neo’ as an example. A modern recycling/trash bin, the Ingrid Njono ‘Neo’ design separates waste into four categories: trash, electronics, compost and recycle. Hoping that this will make the separation duty easier when it reaches garbage mills, it should also help the public dispose waste responsibly.

It produces a smooth trunk to about 10 m (33 ft.) tall, a large, purple crownshaft and spreading, pinnate leaves. Young plants retain their bifid leaves until about 1.5 m (5 ft.) tall. It is a fast growing plant that will do best in a tropical climate.


Personalized Learning in Massachusetts Personalized learning seeks to accelerate student learning by tailoring the instructional environment – what, when, how and where students learn – to address the individual needs, skills and interests of each student. Within a framework of established curriculum standards and high expectations, personalized learning motivates students to reach their goals. Students take ownership of their own learning and develop deep, personal connections with each other, their teachers and other adults. Technology is necessary to implement personalized learning effectively, affordably, and at significant scale. Teachers leverage technology to gain detailed and timely knowledge of their students that guides instruction. Effective use of technology allows teachers and students to focus more on creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.


ERTMS AND GSM-R The European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is a major industrial project developed in close cooperation with the European Union. ERTMS aims at replacing the different national train control and command systems in Europe. The deployment of ERTMS will enable the creation of a seamless European railway system and increase European railway’s competitiveness. An essential component of ERTMS is the GSM-Railway (GSM-R), a mobile communications standard for railway operations. GSM-R is a radio system for providing voice and data communication between the track and the train, based on standard GSM using frequencies specifically reserved for rail application with certain specific and advanced functions.


In this animated video from LOOP SCOOPS, a boy named Ben is asked whether fresh squeezed orange juice or bottled juice is better for the environment. After initially choosing bottled juice, Ben learns the story behind it: oranges are grown in Florida and trucked to a plant in Kansas where they are squeezed, pasteurized, and filtered. The juice is bottled at another plant and then finally shipped to stores. The bottles, if not recycled, pile up in landfills. Ben then learns about the simpler life cycle of fresh squeezed orange juice, and recognizes that it generates less waste. This media asset comes from LOOP SCOOPS.


IBM DisplayWrite was a word processor software application that IBM developed and marketed for its line of IBM PCs. Its document files used the RFT (revisable format text) or DCA (document content architecture) filename extension, both of which were standards on IBM mainframe computers. DisplayWrite's feature set was based on the IBM Displaywriter System, a dedicated microcomputer-based word processing machine. DisplayWrite/370, a much more powerful version with full graphics and WYSIWYG support, is still available for IBM zSeries mainframe computers (see IBM Displaywriter).

The Blockade of the Utegetu Nebula was a conflict preceding the true start of the Swarm War. The Galactic Alliance, under the lead of Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, originally attempted to prevent the Killiks of the Colony to further expand towards Chiss space. Subsequently Alliance forces attempted to prevent the Dark Nest from escaping into open space. Even after it escaped, the blockade continued during the Swarm War, trapping many Killik forces within the Utegetu Nebula. The Battle of the Murgo Choke was one of the conflicts which was the direct result of the blockade.

Today’s invention is a hot air balloon which can convert to a parachute if damaged in flight. The balloon is made of several horizontal layers zipped together. If damage occurs, the layers below the tear can be unzipped by pulling on one of a number of wires from the gondola (assuming that the tear hasn’t happened too high in the envelope). This allows the remaining part of the balloon to stay inflated, albeit with increasingly cool air, and act as a parachute. It also opens a small aperture at the apex to provide more stable descent.


Duncan, Eric. “‘Make the Letters Big and Plain’ : A History of Black Education in North Carolina.” (Under the direction of Dr. Susanna Lee.) This paper traces the history of black education in North Carolina from the antebellum era through Reconstruction. During the antebellum period, this paper examines how slaves, through largely individual efforts, used education as a tool of resistance. In the second chapter, this paper explores how the Civil War and subsequent emancipation changed the nature of black education from a largely individual struggle to an area of community activism. The third chapter and epilogue explore how blacks used their newfound political power in the post-Civil War era to advocate public schools in North Carolina.


Start with a folded sheet of paper. To make sure the pieces come out symmetrical and not in two pieces, I tell them to point the FOLD toward their BODY. They then write their names on the paper (if they have a shorter name with extra space, have them use their last initial too). I then have them draw a contour line around the top of their name. They cut on that contour line. When they open up their "name", they have a unique organic shape that resembles an alien or monster body. I have them draw details in pencil, trace in black sharpie, then color in marker. I have students say they make entire "families" of aliens at home (using Mom's name, Dad's name, their dog's name, their brother's name, etc.) This is also great for a "rainy day" project at home or at school.

California, the leading agricultural state in the US, is now targeting greenhouse gases produced by dairy cows and other livestock. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation in September that for the first time regulates heat-trapping gases from livestock operations and landfills. The legislation received strong opposition from farmers. Cattle and other farm animals are major sources of methane. The greenhouse gas is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas.

The bends, or decompression sickness, is the name given to a range of symptoms by a person exposed to a rapid elevation of atmospheric pressure around them. As a result nitrogen bubbles in an individuals blood causing joint pain. This generally happens in the outer environment of space, where there is no air pressure, or in deep sea diving. To prevent the bends, personnel will spend time in a decompression chambers. As a result of the testing conducted on James T. Kirk by the Vians in their underground lab, Doctor Leonard McCoy diagnosed his symptoms as those found in someone suffering from the bends. McCoy was unable to treat Kirk for his symptoms, nor was he even sure how someone could get the bends underground. Kirk would, nevertheless, be cured by the touch of Gem, an empath, and without the assistance of a decompression chamber. (TOS: "The Empath")


Study Found THIS Food Is Just As Addictive As Drugs If you've ever had a cheese and wine night and demolished the block like a possessed person, this news may provide some comfort. Scientists have discovered that cheese contains a chemical found in addictive drugs. It all makes sense now! The study set out to pinpoint why certain foods are more addictive than others. It revealed, cheese contains a substance called casein, which is found in all dairy products. The substance can trigger the brain's opioid receptors which are linked to addiction. Scientists used the Yale Food Addiction scale to measure a person’s dependence on certain food. It also found there is a clear relationship between processed food and addiction, with fatty foods found to be the most difficult to put down.


We’ll let Finch teach us! The Finch is a small robot designed to inspire and delight students learning computer science by providing them a tangible and physical representation of their code.

London, August 5 : Japanese researchers are working on a robotic exoskeleton to support elderly people with weak arms. Yoshiyuki Sankai at the University of Tsukuba near Tokyo, claims to have developed an exoskeleton that can improve the strength and utility of an ageing arm. The researcher has revealed that the device consists of a tabard worn over the shoulders with a motorised exoskeleton for one arm attached. According to New Scientist magazine, the new device can sense the angle, torque and nerve impulses in the arm. Based on what it senses, says Sankai, the exoskeleton assists the user to move his or her shoulder and elbow joints.


I'm trying to figure out how to make a python program that highlights the position/positions of a certain inputed word in a sentence and lists what place that word is. For example if the sentence was: "The fat cat sat on the mat" then the position for the word fat would be Number 2. Heres what Ive got so far: varSentence = ("The fat cat sat on the mat") varWord = input("Enter word ") varSplit = varSentence.split() if varWord in varSplit: print ("Found word") print ("Word not found") >>> sentence = "The fat cat sat on the mat" >>> words = sentence.lower().split() >>> word_to_find = "the" >>> [pos for pos, word in enumerate(words, start=1) if word == word_to_find] [1, 6] If the word is not found your result will be an empty list.


Language revitalization classes have been part of the curriculum in many Lakota Country schools for over forty years. The Rising Voices/Hótȟaŋiŋpi film crew worked in several schools to show the different educational approaches that are now being tried. The most promising — language immersion — is found in very few schools. The more traditional approach of weekly classes in Lakota for elementary students is widespread, but the students rarely gain more than a basic vocabulary in the language. The programs we visited included the Iyápi Glukínipi Immersion Childcare in Oglala, South Dakota; the Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi Immersion Preschool in Fort Yates, North Dakota; the Laȟota Wóglaka Wóuŋspe Immersion Elementary School in Kyle, South Dakota; the Red Cloud Indian School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and the Little Wound Elementary School in Kyle, South Dakota.


Coulometric Oxygen Sensors Coulometric oxygen sensor systems employ two chambers with a specimen mounted as a sealed semi-barrier between them. One chamber contains oxygen while the other is slowly purged with a stream of a carrier gas such as nitrogen. As the oxygen gas permeates through the specimen into the carrier gas, it is transported to the coulometric detector where it creates an electric current with a magnitude that is proportional to the number of oxygen atoms flowing into the detector. This method can produce extremely accurate results. At Versaperm we are not tied to any specific sensor types or manufacturer and so we can always select exactly the right sensor for an application. Versaperm is a world technology leader in the measurement of gas permeability. We offer not only instruments but also comprehensive testing and consultancy services.

The partition of Korea following the Second World War led to a considerable cross-border movement, which included writers moving from North to South or from South to North. North Korea's subsequent literary tradition was shaped and controlled by the State. "Guidelines for Juche Literature" published by the official Choson Writers' Alliance emphasised that literature must extoll the country's leader, Kim Il-sung, and, later, Kim Jong-il. Only members of the Writers' Alliance are authorised to have their works published. North Korean writers abroad The DPRK Ministry of Culture promoted North Korean literature in Russia and China during the Cold War era. Several Soviet Koreanologists published studies on DPRK literature and translations in Russian. Among the novelists translated into Russian and Chinese were:

“Scientists say while there are more reindeer, they are much smaller in size Climate change is impacting the amount of food available for reindeer on a chain of islands near the North Pole. Because of the diminishing amount of food available, scientists say the average weight of reindeer on Svalbard, located just north of Norway, has dropped from 55kg, or 121 lbs, to 48kg, or 106 lbs. The Guardian reports the reindeer are losing access to plants because warmer winter temps mean less snowfall. Without snow, the precipitation that falls is often rain which eventually freezes the ground; the ice sheets serve as a barrier between the reindeer and their food. The changes in temperature also mean reindeer have more food in the warmer months, a change that has led to a population boom. So while the reindeer are smaller, there are more of them.”

October 8, 2015 In math this week the fifth graders have been working on multiplication strategies. We have studied the area model, partial products, and using prime factorizations. The purpose of learning these strategies is to develop a deep understanding of what multiplication means, and to develop an intuitive understanding of the distributive property. Later in the year we will learn the "standard U.S. algorithm." We hold off teaching it now until these other concepts are in place. Students taught the algorithm too soon often do not learn to use it correctly and to recognize nonsense solutions. Don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to learn these strategies first hand!


Health Education for Peaceful Life Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Our mental and emotional state not only affects our attitudes but has a direct impact on our physical health. Today scientists have understood and published the negative impact on health caused by stress and other negative emotions. Jain scripture has explained in detail the relationship of Himsa (violence) and Ahimsa (nonviolence), with the mental and physical state of a person. Jainism has also prescribed various methods to control and maintain our physical and mental health. Preksha is one such practical and systematic method for healthy living. If one is healthy and physically fit then that person can take care of family, enjoy the company of friends, perform diligently at work and finally concentrate on the Self.


It would also be great for those last days of the school year, when exams are over, but you want to do something purposeful. Get your students thinking critically about place value and the base ten number system by comparing it to another system. Start by introducing the Mayan Number System. This system uses base 20 and is great to work with because the zero acts as a place holder, just like our own! After introducing the lesson, group students into pairs and hand out the Number Cards and worksheets. The activity is great in pairs. You will hear some awesome math talk about place value and digits. It's so fun to see your students thinking more deeply about a fun new math idea.


These clip cards are a great way to help kids learn common vowel teams and dipthongs. The clip cards feature three answer options to help kids recall the correct spelling of each vowel team. Preparation: Print, laminate and cut the vowel team clip cards. To Play: Place the vowel team clip cards next to a basket of pegs. Get the kids to sound out the word, such as rain /r/ /ai/ /n/ and place a peg on the correct answer. You can add a dot or sticker behind the answers so that kids can check if they were right. The cool chalk font used in these images is by Rebecca B Designs.


Alternative Title: homoglycan Learn about this topic in these articles: In general, homopolysaccharides have a well-defined chemical structure, although the molecular weight of an individual amylose or xylan molecule may vary within a particular range, depending on the source; molecules from a single source also may vary in size, because most polysaccharides are formed biologically by an enzyme-catalyzed process lacking genetic information regarding size. Polysaccharides composed of many molecules of one sugar or one sugar derivative are called homopolysaccharides (homoglycans). Homopolysaccharides composed of glucose include glycogen and starch—the storage carbohydrates of animals and plants, respectively—as well as cellulose, the important structural component of most plants. Preparations of dextran, a glucose homopolysaccharide...

Everything you need to understand or teach Having Our Say (novel) by Sarah Louise Delany. "Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters First 100 Years" written by Sarah and A. Elizabeth Delany with Amy Hill Hearth is a work of non-fiction and therefore has a unique tone for a memoir. The Delanys, particularly Bessie, are well known for being outspoken, straightforward and unapologetic. Although the book is a joint memoir, the sisters are able to present many facts objectively. The author adds in some historical time frame markers... Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years Lesson Plans contain 113 pages of teaching material, including:


The nomadic Coahuiltecan Indians lived in round, dome-shaped houses that were constructed using poles and covered with matting, grass or cane. Low entrances opened into spacious interiors characterized by a central fire for light and deerskins for bedding.Continue Reading Housing materials such as matting were usually transported with the occupants when they moved, although naturally-sourced materials such as grasses were generally left behind. Each house contained up to 10 people, and it was common for settlements to comprise upwards of 15 individual homes. However, various population controls were practiced by Coahuiltecan Indians, including the killing of female offspring and abstinence from sex for 2 years after pregnancy.Learn more about US History

A patient's own blood has been used to make personalised stem cells, which doctors hope will eventually be used to treat a range of diseases. The team at the University of Cambridge says this could be one of the easiest and safest sources of stem cells.

When Haile Selassie I was born, the name Lij Tafari Makonnen was given to him. Lij means child of noble blood. He would later become Ras Tafari Mekonnen. Ras is the equivalent of Ethiopian New Year. The Rastafarians believe that Ethiopia is their spiritual homeland and the place where they want to return. For this reason Rastafarians recognise the This is the birthday of Haile Selassie I who was born as Tafari Makonnen Woldemikael. He was the heir to a dynasty that goes as far back as King Solomon and Queen Makeda, Empress of Axum, who was also known as Christianity has existed in Ethiopia since 330 AD, and Rastafarians regard blacks as the Jews of the Bible. This event is marked by a large feast of vegetarian or vegan food, in keeping with Rastafari food laws. During the feast prophecy and


High-Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) is bringing previously unobtainable levels of processing power to compute-intensive applications, including aerospace and defense. It does this by combining high-performance computing, embedded systems, and sensor systems. This white paper from Curtiss-Wright breaks down the design of an HPEC platform into 10 key axioms or strategies that you should use to guarantee the highest levels of performance and stability. Specifically, you’ll learn: - Which elements make up an HPEC system and how they differ from conventional computing components - The role sensors play in HPEC - The different markets that HPEC components are derived from


01 May 2007 Crossing Borders, a Peabody award-winning documentary, offers a fresh look at America's immigration debate. On the Public Radio Exchange, reviewer Emon Hassan had this to say about Crossing Borders: "There's a line, I learned of from this piece, that's often said by the Chicanos, "We didn't cross the borders, the borders crossed us." It's a statement heavily drenched in sadness and frustration. That statement is a historical fact. It begs the question, have Mexicans been crossing borders to find a better life, or have they always been 'crossing' to find their way back home? That 'philosophical' introduction was necessary to help you understand this piece, or, rather, a collage of pieces."


The primary grades constitute the basic foundation of learning for every child. The curriculum at this level is so planned that the fundamentals of phonetic reading, writing, and arithmetic form the essential basis of all educational progress. History and science round out the teaching. In the upper elementary division, we seek to reinforce and extend what the child has learned. The junior high program is geared to meet the unique needs of a child going through these important transitional years. The high school student will not only be challenged in English and math, but he will also receive a true education in history, government, science and related subjects As a result, Community graduates have been well prepared and well received in the colleges to which they have applied.


I expect this may excite a number of Voynich writers, though it is not, in fact, an explanation of he Voynich map. What it shows is that ALberti had learned something of the technique by which rhumb-gridded cartes marine had, by then, been created for more than a century. I add it mainly because in speaking about the patterns created in Juian Bunn’s reduction of the written text, I referred to the colour wheel as possible key for a cipher. At the time I hadn’t thought to refer to Alberti. He’s a man whose style of drawing is pure Renaissance and has nothing in common with the style in which the Voynich map is drawn. But he did create cipher, and he did create this ‘rose’ wheel for a depiction of Rome, the images below being two re-creations that I’ve just seen today online. For the associated articles, see the links given on each.

In medieval times, the Himalayan mountain passes used to be the major trade routes of the South- Asian countries. The great Himalayan passes were the means through which a larger part of the Indian subcontinent along with Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan was connected to the rest of the world. In India, these routes were used for the trading of silk, spices and other goods. At present, these passes have immense military importance as a mode of supply for various military facilities such as food, fuel and ammunition. These high mountain passes play a major role in the growth of the tourism industry as major tourist destinations such as Ladakh, major areas in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim are approachable through these high mountain passes. Not all high mountain passes are accessible for a regular tourist due to unfavorable weather conditions.

The (real) Story Of Scoville Wilbur Scoville was born on January 22nd, 1865. The world would never be the same. In 1912 Scoville developed the Scoville Organoleptic Test (SOT), which was used to measure the "hotness" of peppers. Scoville's test is still used to measure the capsaicin in a pepper, expressed as Scoville Heat Units. Ever since, people have tried to breed hotter and hotter peppers. The (fake) Story Of Scoville The town of Scoville was founded in Wilbur's honor as a home for those who believe that the hottest peppers are the best peppers. Every year around this time, the town hosts the Scoville Chili Pepper Festival. …


Lesson Plans Details Topic5th grade science teks lesson plans. PostedSat, May 04th 2019 15:02 PM As you may know, a lesson plan is a guide for teachers to present objectives that students will accomplish throughout the day. This keeps the classroom organized and ensures that all material is covered adequately. That includes concluding a lesson plan, a step that many teachers may overlook, especially if they are in a rush. Attention getters, do nows, morning meetings, hugs, and high fives. These are often the ways teachers start their days. By now, you probably have your routines in place for how you start your day or class period. But sometimes it`s good to mix it up. Or maybe you`re looking for an exciting entrance to a specific lesson plan. Just like writers, teachers often need a hook!


Numbers in writing? What role do they play? In maths, obviously, but writing? What possible role could they play in fiction, say? Surely there it is about the prose, how well the characters are created etc. Numbers turn up all over the place in writing. Incidentally, the inspiration for the title comes from an old phrase hammered into me when I was learning division many moons ago at school. I had to look for numbers that “would go” into another number – e.g. 2 into 4 will go (twice!) and say 2 into 5 will go (twice but with 1 left over). Anyone else remember that style of teaching? On to the use of numbers in fiction then…

This month has seen a flood of new studies and reviews on the microbiome, the collection of creatures that call our bodies home. In tomorrow's New York Times, I look at why scientists are going to so much effort to map out these 100 trillion microbes. The microbiome is not just an opportunistic film of bugs: it's an organ that play an important part in our well-being. It starts to form as we're born, develops as we nurse, and comes to maturity like other parts of the body. It stabilizes our immune system, keeps our skin intact, synthesizes vitamins, and serves many other functions. Yet the microbiome is an organ made up of thousands of species--an ecosystem, really. And so a number of scientists are calling for a more ecological view of our health, rather than simply trying to wage warfare against infections. Check it out.

Bluebugging is a technique that allows skilled hackers to access mobile commands on Bluetooth-enabled devices that are in discoverable mode. Bluebugging is similar to phone eavesdropping, or bugging. Because discoverable mode is a default setting, most Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and devices are automatically vulnerable to bluebugging attacks. Certain tools - such as RedFang and BlueSniff - allow hackers to infiltrate Bluetooth-enabled devices that are not in discoverable mode. Bluebugged devices are vulnerable to one or more of the following scenarios:


The knee is the largest joint in the body. People use it heavily every day as they walk, run, climb, or jump. As a result, it is also very prone to injury and pain. When these occur, a doctor may recommend exercises to help a person strengthen the muscles around the knee. While many parents are heeding the advice of experts and resisting the urge to have their kids focus exclusively on one sport too early in life, a University of Alberta professor who specializes in youth development is advising parents to keep their children's activities in balance. Brittle bones are often seen as a woman's health issue, but low bone mass may be more common among middle-aged men than generally thought, a small study suggests.

To know how to calm your mind when you are feeling stressed is a valuable thing to learn and practice. The lifestyle we’re living today generates high levels of stress which can lead to: - Mental health challenges. - Physical ailments or pain. - Feelings of frustration, overwhelm and fatigue. - Additional strain or pressure on relationships. - Slower progress towards our goals. If we learn how to deal with stress better, we won’t allow our external environments or events to affect us. We’ll be in better control of how we respond to the things we experience daily. As James Allen, author of As a Man Thinketh, wrote, “Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.”


Spinal alignment strengthens the immune system Birth and going through the birth canal causes injuries to the neck that can create problems like jaundice, reflux, colic, and ear infections. Learning to walk and everyday life is full of falls, scrapes, and bruises for toddlers. Falling off bikes and playground equipment and just rough and tumble play. Sports, poor posture, holding phones on their shoulders, lying on the couch watching television and car accidents. Growing spurts can also intensify misalignments.

1883 In 1883, President Chester A. Arthur was nearing the end of his journey through Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. On August 28, the President and his party camped near the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. "The Canon of the Yellowstone...surpasses description in grandeur. The two falls are equal in sublimity and beauty to any upon the continent." 1907 The Cheyenne Daily Leader published an article about the coal mines near Sheridan. The article included information about the new town of Kooi or Kooiton, named after Peter Kooi, the general manager of the Kooi Mine.


by William Shakespeare Saturday 17 to Saturday 24 March 2018 Mary Wallace Theatre 'Macbeth' is a play about fear. When first performed in 1606, belief in witches and supernatural intervention in the governance of the realm suggests that this play would have held a real sense of immediacy and danger for the audience. Today, it retains an aura of superstition, especially in theatrical circles. I hope to use theatrical techniques to allow the audience to share Macbeth's physical and metaphysical insecurity. On it simplest level, think 'The Woman in Black'.


Why is the one-party system right for China? Political scientist Zhang Weiwei explains the CPC bears no similarity with western political parties. It aims at representing the interests of the vast majority of the population, whereas political parties of the West by definition work for the benefit of a small minority. The video also explains the importance of meritocracy for the Chinese political culture. (Source Guan Video and CGTN)


The Ventoux has always been a goat and sheep rearing area. Raw milk cheeses carefully matured by producers have a great ally, dotted around our fragrant hills: savory. Goats (mostly ’Alpine chamoisées’ and sometimes ’Provençale’, or ’Poitou’) are often milked by hand, as farms are on a human scale. Making the milk into cheese requires a rigorous approach and appropriate equipment: a curing room at a constant temperature of 14°C and 90% humidity. It can take up to a month and a half to get a properly matured cheese with a perfect taste. Some goats have two small skin ’beads’ around the neck, called pendants. Some do, some don’t, according to their genetic heritage.

NetworkX is a Python-based package for the creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks. The structure of a graph or network is encoded in the edges (connections, links, ties, arcs, bonds) between nodes (vertices, sites, actors). If unqualified, by graph we mean a simple undirected graph, i.e. no self-loops and no multiple edges are allowed. By a network we usually mean a graph with weights (fields, properties) on nodes and/or edges. The potential audience for NetworkX includes: mathematicians, physicists, biologists, computer scientists, social scientists.


It is a fact that without an education girls are at risk. One key barrier, which is often overlooked, when it comes to accessing an education is poor vision. Without healthy vision millions of girls around the world have their opportunities to learn taken away – when a simple pair of glasses is often the solution. By: Daveena Brain, Executive Director, Our Children's Vision Vision loss and eye disease in children can have a severe impact on education and development. For example, it is estimated that at least one third of the world’s 72 million children who are not in school, have a disability (including those with a vision impairment).2 This is not ok.

Are you looking for a low cost method to prolong life of power transmitting devices? Then start looking at how drive and load devices are connected. Devices such as motors, reducers, encoders, shafts and other rigid elements should be linked to operate at its high efficiency. Many times electrical and mechanical friction play into the linked system to create premature failure. These failures start at the point of frictional contact, which are the bearings, seals, shaft and lubricants. One of the major causes of device failure is misalignment, which leads to bearing, shaft, seal and lubricant failure. Zero-backlash flexible shaft couplings have come a long way in the market to accommodate parallel and angular misalignment and also shaft endplay.


NETTIE HORN is very pleased to now represent Nuclear Dust #3 Black and white photograph 190 x 150 cm Bettina Samson set out to recreate the chance situation leading Henri Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity in 1896, when he found that uranium left an imprint on photographic plates without the need for any light input. Working in total darkness, Samson exposed sheet film to the radiation of pitchblende, a form of uranium ore, and obtained near-immaterial images which, enlarged, suggest some kind of astronomical phenomenon.

The solar industry has emerged as a major economic driver and is becoming a robust industry. Over 170,000 people are employed by the solar industry. Solar is providing increasingly cheaper and more reliable power, while allowing for domestic energy independence. In 2014, 32% of all new electric generation came from solar, largely because solar is economically viable. The abrupt end to this program will crush growth and set the industry back. What is needed is a clear ramp to allow a transition to new business models that allow for continued and possibly accelerated growth. You may have seen Schwarzenegger’s facebook post about climate change, but what you might not know is that he started the Million Solar Roofs initiative, which lead into the California Solar Initiative. Read on to find how why we should follow this model and extend the ITC.


By Tyler Sutherland An expert in environmental engineering will share insights into his groundbreaking research on the way wastewater treatment plants are designed around the globe, including here in Winnipeg, during a public lecture at the University of Manitoba on Thursday. Jan Oleszkiewicz has developed technology that could potentially save industry and municipalities tens of millions of dollars. He will be speaking about how his research is applied to real-world problems at a lecture titled “Cleaning up the Mess: Managing Waste.” The lecture from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. will be held in the Robert B. Schultz Lecture Theatre at St. John’s College on the U of M’s Fort Garry campus.


Anamorphic quilts using optical or catoptric perspective What is anamorphic perspective? Artists can foreshorten and angle linear perspective to deform and change the scale of an object. The image becomes incomprehensible when viewed directly but resolves into a clear picture when looked at from a different vantage point. There are two types of anamorphosis: optical, also known as direct or oblique; and catoptric. Optical anamorphosis requires the viewer to look at a picture from an unusual angle instead of standing in front of the painting and looking at it straight on. Catoptric anamorphosis requires the image to be seen reflected in a conical, cylindrical or pyramidal mirror. Read more about anamorphic perspective.

Climate Change Religious Education Curriculum Climate change is a confusing topic, not to mention terrifying. It often feels more about problems than solutions, which makes it easy to push to the sidelines as “something scientists can deal with.” This course aims to give participants a solid understanding of the facts behind climate change, an appreciation of the earth, and tools to find solutions on a range of scales. The issue is truly a global one, so it must be addressed by people working together all over the world. For this reason the curriculum has been developed by the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office (UU-UNO), and many of the solutions discussed are from the UN. We gratefully acknowledge the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Tapestry of Faith program "World of Wonder" for stories in sessions one and five.

The Siddhar (Tamil: சித்தர் cittar,) in Tamil tradition is a perfected individual, who has attained intellectual powers called siddhi by constant practice of certain educational disciplines. They were knowledgeable in science, technology, astronomy, literature, fine arts, music, drama, dance, and provided solutions to common people in their illness and advice for their future. Typically Siddhars were saints, doctors, alchemists and mystics all in one. Tamil Siddhars were the first to develop pulse-reading ("naadi paarththal" in Tamil) to identify the origin of diseases. The siddhars are believed to have had both major and minor powers which are described in detail in various yogic and religious texts.


The earthquake that leveled parts of China’s Sichuan province last month was a geological oddity arising from usually inactive faults, LiveScience reports. The bizarre seismological coincidences behind the quake explain why no one was able to predict the event, which claimed 69,000 lives. Seismic activity in the area normally manifests itself when the earth's crust rises and flows rather than buckling. "Nobody was thinking there would be a major seismological event," said an MIT seismologist. "This earthquake was quite unusual." (Read more China earthquake stories.)


Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is the most threatened species of gibbon, the endemic primates of China. Currently, there were only 4 groups no more than 30 individuals left, which is only distributed in a 16 km2 area (H: 800–1280 m) of Bawangling National Nature Reserve of Hainan island in China. The social structure of the Hainan gibbon is polygynous, with one adult male pairing with two adult females. Hainan gibbon research has always been one of the hot spots of primate research, mainly concentrated in ecology, behavior, and genetic research. Here, we mainly reported the classification, historical population changes, community structure, dietary, reproductive and song behavior of Hainan gibbon. We also reported the other unique primate of China: Guizhou snub-nosed monkey. Part of the book: Endemic Species


The existence of baseball merely creates unstoppable effects to the world. No matter how cruel the war is, it could not stop major league baseball. Not even depressions, not even famine; it seems that the only thing could is the major league baseball itself. This is how player’s strike makes an impact. Baseball provides the need for players of all ages to have fun even when players are in the process of learning yet. A major theme that runs throughout the baseball world is not just about advocating the need for fun but helping those people who do not care about baseball as well. The actual sport of baseball influences greatly in all American culture and has been played by most people around the globe.


In the Bach system anger is a secondary emotion and we need to look more closely at the cause. Anger based on impatience needs another remedy, for example, as do those angers based on feelings of personal unfairness or impersonal injustice, or where there is a simple loss of control. Holly is actually the remedy for very negative, aggressive feelings directed at others – feelings such as hatred, suspicion, envy, spite. The basic problem in a Holly state is an absence of love, and the remedy works to encourage our generosity of spirit and an openness towards others. For those who sometimes are attacked by thoughts of such kind as jealousy, envy, revenge, suspicion. For the different forms of vexation. Within themselves, they may suffer much, often when there is no real cause for their unhappiness. – The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies


UNDER THE KUDZU traces the history of two schools that African American communities built in cooperation with the Rosenwald Fund. During the segregation era African American families in the South paid their taxes, then often had to raise additional funds to obtain schools for their children. Despite being under-resourced, many of these schools developed reputations for academic excellence. UNDER THE KUDZU explores the sacrifice that African American communities made for education and illustrates that education is something that African American communities shaped and owned.
