Bumblebees generally visit flowers exhibiting the bee pollination syndrome. They can visit patches of flowers up to 1–2 kilometres from their colony. Bumblebees will also tend to visit the same patches of flowers every day, as long as they continue to find nectar and pollen, a habit known as pollinator or flower constancy. While foraging, bumblebees can reach ground speeds of up to 15 metres per second (54 km/h). Incoming search terms: - how fast can a bumblebee fly

Irritator is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived in the early Cretaceous Period (Albianstage), around 110 million years ago. Current estimations indicate a length of 9 meters (30 feet). It was found in South America. Irritator was a theropod with an unusually shaped crest at the rear of its head, and probably ate fish. So far the only fossil that has been found was an 80 centimeter long fossil skull in the Romualdo Member, a layer member of the Brazilian Santana formation. This skull strongly resembles the skulls of Suchomimus and Spinosaurus. The genus is often regarded today as identical (synonymous) with Angaturama, which lived in the same time and the same place as Irritator.


Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest within our solar system. Some have described the solar system as consisting of the Sun, Jupiter, and assorted debris,; some describe Jupiter as the solar system's vacuum cleaner, due to its immense gravity well. It and the other gas giants - Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are sometimes referred to as "Jovian planets." The Romans named the planet after the Roman god Jupiter (also called Jove). The astronomical symbol for the planet is a stylized representation of the god's lightning bolt. took this photo of the planet Jupiter on January 24, while still more than 25 million miles (40 million kilometres) away.

Posted: Oct 24 2013I think we have mentioned it enough but Coeur is French for heart and the root of the noun courage. Or more precisely the abstract noun “courage” since I suppose you can’t actually touch it. While we’re on a definitional/grammatical tangent, I’ll go on to mention that courage is defined as the ability or willingness to confront fear, danger, uncertainty or intimidation. So, why does that matter? To answer that question, we’ll have to go back a couple of months.


There has been plenty of engaging science that has been on mainstream television and film. Sometimes the science is correct, sometimes it is lies, sometimes misinformed – which ever category it is in, they can all be used as a discussion point in science lessons. They can be suitable starters – and can lead on to deeper questioning. Students should be able to make links to what they have seen.

Your muscular system has many functions. These include allowing you to move, regulating your internal body temperature and maintaining blood flow in your body. Your body contains three types of muscle which are smooth muscle, skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. Many of your muscles are striated which means that the fibers of the muscle are parallel to each other. Smooth muscle: involuntary muscles (muscles you can’t control) such as your intestines contracting to push food through them. Skeletal muscle: muscle that attaches to your bones. These muscles in conjunction with your bones allow for movement. Example: your bicep muscle. Cardiac muscle: your heart is a cardiac muscle and works to pump blood throughout your body. When a muscle contracts it exerts a force that can move something. For example, when your heart muscle contracts it forces blood out of the heart and through the body.

Computer history starts in 1623, when Wilhelm Schickard built mankind's first automatic calculator. Schickard's machine could perform basic arithmetic operations on integer inputs. His letters to Kepler, discoverer of the laws of planetary motion, explain the application of his "calculating clock" to the computation of astronomical tables. The non- programmable Schickard machine was based on the traditional decimal system. Leibniz subsequently discovered the more convenient binary system (1679), an essential ingredient of the world's first working program- controlled computer, due to Zuse (1941).

Digital art and photographic art are not reproductions! A print of an oil painting is trying to create an exact replica of the original painting. It is copying something already in existence. A digital print is an original; it reflects that moment in time when it was created through the printing process. Once the digital image is printed; it is an original. Each printing of an image file creates a unique print that often reflects the artist’s attempt to improve or vary the feeling or message of the image. The colors, saturation, size, paper, ink, and cropping may all be changed as the image is used to create prints. Many digital artists print their own work to control the creative process right through to the finished product. The process of laying the ink down on the paper is the moment that the image comes alive as a piece of art.

The tomb of the Blessed Virgin is not far from the Gethsemane Grotto on the Mount of Olives. The Tomb of the Blessed Virgin is believed to be where apostles laid Mary to rest prior to her Assumption into heaven. While its exterior church was destroyed numerous times during invasions of Jerusalem, the crypt was left in tact. The cave church is decorated with hanging lamps as pilgrims make their way down the stairs into the tomb. The tomb was built as a mausoleum, with the outer structure enclosing an interior space known as an aedicule. The replica here at the Monastery was built in 1916 and dedicated on the Feast of the Assumption. The inside is home to a marble altar and a Byzantine style painting of the Madonna and child.

The Hamilton Zoo ring tailed lemur habitat has a rock pool with waterfall. Lemurs are from Madagascar. The matriarchal species evolved in isolation, an example of founder effect. A lemur ambles over to sit in the sun after lunch, and is joined by two others. The chimpanzees lives in a leafy enclosure with climbing beams. Below is a top view. There were two indoor sleeping quarters. Maybe to separate the males and females? Platform with straw bedding connected by ropes Maybe the yellow container with holes are for food and enrichment on rainy days. The chimpanzees were outside. This is the winding path leading to them. The frolicking chimps carried blankets. There were posters showing their unique facial features. Too bad they were so far away.


You probably heard that the Incas didn’t keep written records. However, they were using a knots to write things down! Quipu use a system of knots to “write” things down. The method used a long main rope, to which colorful shorter ropes were attached in a specific order. Up to ten different kinds of knots were tied into those shorter strings. Researchers assume that some of these talking knots were worn as a necklace. Nobody knows for sure how or where this kind of record keeping originated, but it’s clearly very old and the Incas weren’t the first one to use it. The oldest quipus found has been dated to a time between 2600 and 2100 BC! So far researchers are still puzzled to what was written in those necklaces.


Septic systems should be pumped every three to four years. Pumping prevents damage to the drain field from sewage and fats. Fats are insoluble, which means they do not stay in the water. When they get into the ground, they form a barrier around the drain field pipes and prevent them from leaching water into the soil. Once this happens, the drain field has to be replaced – often at a huge expense. If you are starting to get backups, you may want to schedule a maintenance appointment – and have a professional evaluate your system. This may include a basic visual inspection or it could mean that they’ll run a camera through to make sure there are no roots in the line between the house and the septic tank. This will help your technician identify any septic tank problems and determine if there are blockages in the main vent.

Hunmin Jeong'eum is the basis of modern Korean written script. Some of the letters have become obselete, but they are included in the computer encoding for Korean, and thus, they are also found as glyphs in Unicode. When the new script was proclaimed, a version in written Chinese was written. In the Korean version, a mix of hangeul and Chinese characters were used, including the marks used for indicating the tones. See Taiffalo's site for the scans where the following text is taken from. He also includes scans in Korean hangeul as well. This page was created on Wednesday 23rd April 2003.


Play in pre-k or kindergarten can become an opportunity to explore measurement, as is the case in this classroom moment. Why is this important? Direct comparison of heights is a common feature of children’s play. Notice how the teacher asks a few questions to focus the children on height differences such as Which one is taller? and Can you reach all the way up there? She is “mathematizing” their natural interest, not taking over their play. Common Core Alignment Measurement and Data More


What is a soliloquy? (From Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) Lines in a drama in which a character reveals his or her thoughts to the audience, but not to the other characters, by speaking as if to himself or herself. "I'll answer by doing the Highland fling or the sailor's hornpipe; and you — well, let me see — oh, I've got it — you can do Hamlet's soliloquy." "Hamlet's soliloquy, you know; the most celebrated thing in Shakespeare. Ah, it's sublime, sublime! Always fetches the house." From Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.


In economics, capital goods refer to real products that are used in the production of other products but are not incorporated into the new product (these are termed Consumer Goods). They are often called fixed human-made means of production. Capital goods include factories, machinery, tools, and other buildings. They are different from raw materials which are used up in the production of goods. Capital goods are different from financial capital. Whereas capital goods are real objects owned by individuals, governments, and other organizations in order to get a positive return of some sort from production, financial capital refers to pieces of paper (or other kinds of promises) that represent claims on these types of goods and on other sources of promised future income.


In the case of autosomal dominant genes, a single abnormal gene on one of the autosomal chromosomes (one of the first 22 "non-sex" chromosomes) from either parent can cause the disease. One of the parents will have the disease (since it is dominant) in this mode of inheritance and that person is called the CARRIER. Only one parent must be a carrier in order for the child to inherit the disease. Review Date 2/15/2016 Updated by: Neil K.

Here are some facts about the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May,and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell,brides carried a “bouquet of flowers” to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"

On this day in 1949, English supermodel and fashion icon Lesley Hornby (later nicknamed Twiggy) was born in the northwest London suburb of Neasden. Twiggy was known for her slim figure, androgynous look, large eyes with long lashes and short hair. Her mother, a factory worker in a printing firm, taught her to sew as a child, and she used the skill to make her own clothing. Recently, Twiggy launched a clothing line and blogs for HSN. This “Bird on Twig” quilt was hand pieced, appliqued and quilted in Michigan in the 1950’s by an unknown quilter. The owner, an antique dealer from Eastpointe, Michigan who purchased the quilt, documented it during the Michigan Quilt Project.

Wolf Facts – 70 Uncanny Facts About Wolfs Facts about wolfs Wolf pubs are born blind and deaf. Pubs become fully mature at 10 months of age and can hunt on their own from then. Wolves’ communication skills are important for the survival of the pack. Wolves have many means of communication including howls, whine and whimper, growl and bark, yelp and snarl. A pack maintains a territory and marks its territory by urine, scratches, droppings etc. Wolves are excellent swimmers. Wolves move around their territory, about 40-50 km a day. Wolves are very intelligent animals. The average lifespan of a wolf is 6 to 8 years in wild, and 16 years in captivity. The entire pack is responsible to take care of the young.


On a recent environmental subsurface exploration job in the heart of downtown Atlanta, Geo-Hydro used a Membrane Interface Probe (MIP) to monitor soil contaminates. The MIP has the ability to measure soil contaminates in real time as the probe is pushed down through the soil. The probe is a semi-permeable membrane incased in a stainless steel screen. The screen is heated to accelerate diffusion of volatile organic compounds as it is advanced into the soil. As contaminates found in the soil volatilize, they pass through the membrane and are carried to the detection device by a carrier gas. A log is produced with detection levels shown at their respective depths in the soil. Geo-Hydro utilized this device and took confirmation samples when spikes of contaminants were found. Below are pictures.

The first global terrorism index finds that incidents of extreme violence are on the decline worldwide. The index is produced by an independent nonprofit, the Institute for Economics and Peace. The study says that terrorist incidents peaked in 2007 after increasing every year in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in 2001. But terrorism fatalities have decreased by 25 percent since then. The index ranks 158 countries over the past 10 years. Only 31 of them have not experienced a terrorist attack since 2001. The index lists Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan as the countries most affected by terrorism last year. India is the fourth-most-affected nation. The research says North America is least likely to suffer from terrorism while Western Europeans are more likely to encounter a terrorist attack.

Homer was the Greek epic poet who wrote the ‘Iliad’, about the Trojan War, and the ‘Odyssey’, about Odysseus’ journey home after the war. This name is borne by the cartoon father on the television series ‘The Simpsons’. - Homer (English, Ancient Greek) - Homeros (Ancient Greek)


One of the Twelve Apostles. In their Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke mention him only once, simply in listing the names of the twelve. In John's Gospel he is named several times as "Thomas, known as the twin." The disparaging sobriquet he has borne through the centuries, Doubting Thomas, he earned in the familiar story of his refusal to believe that the resurrected Christ had appeared to the other Apostles unless he could examine the marks of the Crucifixion (John 20:24-20). Another incident in John's Gospel reflects great on Thomas for strong faith and courage. When Jesus told the Apostles that he would return to Judaea despite the threats against his life, Thomas said to the others, "Let us go, too, and die with him" (John 11:16).

A Faraday cage is a cage or enclosure that protects sensitive electrical equipment from electrostatic interference. It is made of grounded meshed wire or parallel wires.Continue Reading The cage channels electricity through the mesh and provides constant voltage on all sides of the enclosure. The electrical current does not flow into the cage because the difference in voltage is the measure of electrical potential. The cage's conducting material distributes the electrical charges so that they cancel the effect on the inside of the cage. The Faraday cage is used to protect electronic instruments from electrostatic discharges and lightning strikes. The cage was invented in 1836 by English scientist Michael Faraday. Some examples of Faraday cages are microwave ovens, elevators, coaxial cables, USB cables, booster bags and airplane passenger compartments.Learn more about Electricity


HOW IS ADENOVIRUS INFECTION SPREAD? Adenoviruses are spread like the common cold. The viruses can be spread from person to person via coughing or sneezing. People may also become infected by touching something with adenovirus on it and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes. For example, adenoviruses can be transferred to a doorknob when an infected person sneezes into his/her hands and then touches the doorknob before washing. Germs can also be spread if an infected person sneezes or coughs onto tabletops or other items that might be touched by other people. To prevent the spread of disease, it is important to practice good health habits.


THE BROTHERS GRIMM All of us at some stage in our lives have probably read something from these two guys. During 19th century two German brothers made a name for themselves for writing folklores. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm became famous as Brothers Grimm for their contribution to traditional folk tales. They had diversified interest in the world of academia as they worked as cultural researchers, linguists, lexicographers, folklore collectors and writers. Clancy's comment: Mm ... Amazing collection. I wonder how many of our stories will still be read in a hundred year's time.


Gravity! Simple, fun, and the foundation of so many science concepts. This science game uses things from around the house. Kids can experiment with the speed of the spiders by raising or lowering their end of the string. First cut the pipe cleaners for the legs, then glue onto the inside of one bottle cap. Glue another bottle cap to the otherside to make a sort of sandwich. Not pictured above, are some pom balls for the head… glue on a pom ball with some eyes. Next glue a small piece of the straw to the back of the spider. Thread some string through the straw for the races! Add a bit of string and some short sticks for the “handles” and let the races begin!


6th grade science posted by Abigail on . I am having trouble with getting focused on WANTING to do my schoolwork. I want good grades and I am just not motivated!! Few of uswant to do schoolwork. Unfortunately, learning anything new requires a great deal of effort. The only time learning comes really easy is when you just rehashing previously learned information. For me, if I can realize how I can personally use the information, I become more motivated to learn the material. Here are some study hints than might make learning easier. I hope this helps. Try looking at what you want to get done and make a checklist so that you can keep track of what you want to so, and what's already done. In between things take little breaks.

This is confirmed by temperature records, as well as the testimony of the Sami people of northern Norway, who live very close to the environment. Listen to these people talking about the changes. The Sami have noticed that it has become much warmer in winter, with even rain in December, and also it is much windier. The thickness of the ice on frozen rivers is much reduced, and trees are starting to grow on the tundra, affecting the ability of reindeer to dig in the snow for lichen in winter.


Behavior and reading impact a student’s ability to learn. The MIBLSI model promotes the strategic integration of behavior and reading supports within a multi-tier system of supports (MTSS) framework. One element of MTSS is the continuum of practices provided for students across three tiers. Find tools and resources for implementing behavior and reading supports and interventions in each tier. The information found here supports information provided at our training sessions. Teachers and school administrators should use this section as a reference when introducing MTSS into their schools. A triangle is used to illustrate the broad base of tier 1 supports gradually narrowing to the targeted but more intensive tier three supports. Tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 supports are also known as universal, secondary, and tertiary supports respectively.


For today’s prompt, take a word or two invented by William Shakespeare, make it the title of your poem, and write your poem. Click here for a link to some words coined by Shakespeare, who was baptized on this date in 1564. If the link doesn’t work, here are a few: advertising, bloodstained, critic, dwindle, eyeball, hobnob, luggage, radiance, and zany. He invented more than 1,700! Dark dwindles from lintels supporting space As colors of daylight polish the sky Where we bear witness to God's gift of grace Stunning the ages with Time's newborn cry Out on that line sealing heaven to earth Hope's newness blushes, God brushes the air With celebration, ah, hail the glad birth Into this cradle of dirt, hurt, despair ...Mercy's allotment metes from dark, daylight Who but our God can move midnight this way? Dawn's birthplace blushes as His love ignites Time's newborn offspring; we call it Today


- servant is part of the Basic English 850. - A servant is someone who works for a person or for a family, doing things like cooking and washing. Often the servant lives in the house where they work. A servant works for the same family all day. - This rich family has three servants working for them in their big house.


Disruption of bacterial cells is required for releasing biological molecules from within the cells for various biological applications. Ultrasound technology has been widely used for such cell lysis applications. Ultrasonic disruption is based on cavitation, the creation of cavities in cell suspension. These cavities or small bubbles of dissolved gases or vapors arise from the alteration of pressure in liquids. The bubbles are capable of resonance vibration and produce vigorous eddying or microstreaming leading to mechanical stress that effectively lyses cells. Diagenode’s Bioruptor® sonicaton device uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to disrupt cells for biological, chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.


ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey's prime minister says relations with Germany will be harmed if the German parliament votes to describe the killing of Armenians last century as genocide. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event viewed by many scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century. Turkey disputes the label and says the toll has been inflated, and considers those killed as victims of a civil war. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said Wednesday that a vote on the issue in Germany's parliament on Thursday was "nonsense" and added that the deaths were "ordinary" events during war conditions. However, Yildirim said Turkey would not annul a deal with the EU on curbing migrant flows over the Armenia vote.

No commodity nor animal in the natural world has served man so well and so much as the horse. By virtue of their dexterity and sociability, horses formed the economic and military lynchpins of many empires. Although many nations understood the significance of having an ample supply of horses, the best horses were often thought to come from Spain and Asia. Nomadic tribes on horseback were feared for the deadly speed and flexibility their warriors had. Horses also had a vital non-belligerent role as well: the Persians (formerly a nomadic tribe themselves) used of horses in the chaparkhaneh, a courier system which can be considered the world's first postal service.

1. Give each student 5 dried beans. Ask them to examine the beans and choose the "Best" bean. Don't give them any other information. 2. After 5 minutes, have some or all of the students to explain how they chose their "Best" bean. 3. Relate the beans to people by asking the following questions: a. Are all of your beans the same on the inside? b. Are all people the same on the inside? c. When we eat the beans, do all the beans taste the same? d. Imagine you are hanging off a cliff and are desperately clinging to a few blades of grass that are pulling loose from the ground. Suddenly, a hand appears from above to rescue you. Would you wait to see what that person looked like before you reached for help? e. Is one bean better than another? f. Is one person better than another?


As America was expanding in the 1780s, the founding fathers realized that open access to secure and private communication among its dispersed citizens was critical to forming political groups and holding free elections without fear of retribution. The U.S. Constitution empowered Congress “to establish post offices and post roads,” the most common form of telecommunication (communication over a distance) in 1789. The founding fathers provided the necessary infrastructure to “bind” the growing nation together through communication and commerce. Thereby, the Post Office Department (now the U.

This video demonstrates the shear strength of a standard construction nail, compared to a deck screw. The screw snaps off after a couple twists, but the nail remains intact and in the wood after multiple twists. This test clearly shows that nails are the better choice for structural construction framing where joints and lumber can shift and twist. But don’t write off screws altogether. They have stronger holding abilities (tensile strength) than nails and can draw pieces together. The best example for when to use a nail versus screw is building a deck. Nails are used to attach the joists to the deck framing, and screws are used to fasten the deck to the frame.


Deep Scaling / Root Planing is an effective way to stop gum disease from progressing and getting worse. The procedure cleans between the gums and teeth up to the roots. The procedure requires the use of a local anesthesia to numb the gums and roots of the teeth. Scaling involves removing tartar and plaque from the surfaces of the teeth whereas Planing smoothens the surface of the teeth and removes any infected tooth structure. This process gets rid of bacteria in the pocket between gums and teeth and provides favorable conditions for the gums to heal.


Toxicology is a known systematic discipline surrounding both basic and applied matters. Generally accepted as a definite scientific field its ideologies have been valued for centuries. The injurious or toxic effects of certain substances, mainly current in minerals and plants or transmitted venomous animals, have been known since primeval times. Toxicology as a discipline has advanced from pharmacology. Pharmacology and toxicology both study the effect of chemicals on living organisms and have often used identical methods. However, fundamental differences have developed. Years ago, only the dependence on dose of the studied effects separated pharmacology and toxicology. - Human and health toxicology - Pharmaceutical toxicology


Onboard diagnostic systems (OBDs) are found in almost every car these days, providing a very rich set of information about parameters like coolant temperature, RPM, and the like. The information about all these parameters lets us define the state of the vehicle by diagnosing each and every aspect. Here's a guide to getting started with OBD development using your chosen MCU. First, a quick overview. OBD-II is the protocol that works in most of our cars that date back from a decade ago until now. It's particularly widespread in cars made in Asia, where almost all makers support the protocol, but it is a global protocol and used in cars worldwide. You can find more on OBD here.

The terms ‘critical’ and ‘reflection’ are sorely misunderstood in education. Being critical is often misinterpreted as being negative. ‘Reflection’ is also frequently distorted to mean “reflect on what you are doing wrong”. Too often the students that we teach give negative feedback when asked to be critical. So to counter act this, educators initiate strategies such as ‘2 stars and a wish’ and SWNI (strengths, weaknesses, new ideas). These strategies are designed to make reflective practices a more positive experience for students. It teaches them that being critically reflective is not just a negative activity, that it is important to be positive and give feedback to help improve or make something better.


According to Vastu basements should ideally not be built under the entire house. It is best that the basement should only be in the northeast side of a house. It can also be located on the east side of the house. The floor of the basement should slope downward towards the northeast. The walls should be at least 3m (9 ft) high. The basement should be painted white or light colours. The heater, water heater, or electrical panels should be in the southeast corner of the basement. Ventilation should be made in basement. Therefore, a basement should not be used for living as far as possible. Basements are also not good places to conduct business. The basement effects will be improved if one-fourth of the basement is above ground. Heavy equipment can be kept on the south and west sides of basement.

FC: With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure, especially in California, for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century. As the following documents suggest, there were many opinions about this issue. 1: this is a stop point where the chinese were stoped in california. they were not treated fairly here. 2: these are bandits that made it to america, some chinese accually came to make money and then they would go back home with the money they made.


Welcome to Second Grade! Now is the time to help your child learn the basics. As your child moves through second grade, expect him/her to show an interest in books, to begin reading independently and to rely less on adults for help. As a parent or guardian, you are your child's first teacher. You play an important role in helping your child meet the high academic expectations that Saint Paul has set for all children. Think of the work your second grader is doing to meet these expectations as "stepping stones." If your child can successfully do the work expected in second grade programs now, he or she will be ready for the challenges of third grade.

viernes, 21 de marzo de 2008 An international team of scientists, including a former Museum curator, discovered the partial skeleton of 3.2 million-year-old "Lucy" in 1974. Formally known as Australopithecus afarensis, the remains of this species of human ancestor have provided valuable clues as to when and why humans began to walk upright and evolve larger brains. Visitors can see a cast of the original skeletal materials and reconstruction of what Lucy’s full skeleton might have looked. The original bones were returned to Ethiopia.

The Santa Maria are larger than the Nita Maria but smaller than the Yonta Maria. Their sails are arranged the same as the Nita Maria, with a black sail with the Jolly Roger in front, two sails in the middle, the top of which contains its name, and a sail in the back. The ship, like its two counterparts, is based on the Santa Maria, the main ship of Orlumbus' namesake Christopher Columbus on his first voyage. Incidentally, this class shares the exact same name as the historical ship. "Ni," "San," and "Yon" mean two, three, and four respectively, indicating how the Santa Maria is in the middle of the order.


Scientific name: Patiriella vivipara Distribution: endemic to south eastern Tasmania Description: This small orange-yellow seastar has a maximum arm radius of 15mm. It is pentagonal in shape and is one of the smallest seastars found in the world. Habitat: sheltered rocky shores, low intertidal zone Ecology: Live-bearing seastars are grazers, feeding on the microscopic algae growing on rocks in the intertidal zone. They are slow moving and occur only in sheltered bays where the wave action will not dislodge them.

What is a complex sentence? A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause (unlike a dependent clause) can stand alone as a sentence. Types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (I kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (I am going home now because I have a curfew), and noun clauses (I don’t know what to do next). - I prefer to read books that are bestsellers. - Because my alarm did not go off this morning, I was late to work. - Leave while you can. Complex sentences can get a little confusing when we start throwing around dependent and independent clauses. Can you recognize a complex sentence?

Crossbeams is a toy, developed by electrical engineer Charles Sharman's company Seven:Twelve Engineering, that can itself be used to design and put together a wide variety of toys including complicated toy cars and helicopters. The Crossbeams are essentially small tube-shaped bits of plastic, some of which are curved or bent at one end while others are straight. These pieces join together in two steps -- first with a regular male/female connection in which one piece slots into the other, and then with a twistable ring that secures the joints against stress. In addition to being a toy creator, Crossbeams can also be used to create usable household objects such as trash cans, bookshelves and more, and is sure to encourage creativity in design.

The Arakan forest turtle (Heosemys depressa) is an extremely rare turtle species which lives only in the Arakan hills of western Myanmar. The Arakan Forest Turtle was believed extinct (last seen in 1908), but in 1994 was rediscovered when a few specimens turned up in Asian food markets. Like most Asian turtles, it is collected yearly as a food source or for "medical cures." Only a handful of these conservation reliant turtles are in captivity, and their status in the wild, which is dubious at best, is listed as critical. In 2009, scientists discovered wild Arakan Forest Turtles for the first time in history in an elephant sanctuary in Myanmar.


This is a great lesson written by Lisa Johnson @ComputerExplore. It is interesting how she always gets her students to use a series of apps and that the apps are always just the tools and not the reason for the lesson. This is a good example of how a teacher uses the appropriate technology to get their students to delve into their own learning often using tasks that reference Bloom's Taxonomy as the basis for a deeper understanding. Read full lesson: This lesson would be just as effective in an Art class where instead of writing the students were asked to create a drawing, painting or mixed media work with the same prompts. It could be used in a History class or even a Social Studies class with images from a historical event or different cultures you are studying. This really is a versatile concept from Lisa.


The Coriolis Effect The rotation of the Earth causes an interesting phenomena on free moving objects on the Earth. Objects in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right, while objects in the Southern Hemisphere are deflected to the left. The coriolis effect thus tries to force winds to shift towards the right or left. The coriolis effect can at times cause winds to blow back up the pressure gradient. The coriolis effect and pressure gradient work against each other. Pressure gradient pushes winds outward, while the coriolis effect moves winds to the right or left. Often these two forces reach a balance, causing winds to blow sideways along the pressure gradient, not getting any further out from a high pressure or closer to a high pressure. This type of wind is known as a geostrophic wind.

Walk Again Project A paralyzed person wearing a brain-controlled robotic exoskeleton has made the first kick at the 2014 soccer World Cup in Brazil. The exoskeleton allowed the person to take a step and kick a ball by translating electrical signals from the patient's brain into action. The successful kickoff to the competition is a big step in turning paralyzed people's dreams of walking into reality. For more on human exoskeletons, read SN's Mind to motion feature.

When people are didactic, they're teaching or instructing. This word is often used negatively for when someone is acting too much like a teacher. When you're didactic, you're trying to teach something. Just about everything teachers do is didactic: the same is true of coaches and mentors. Didactic is often used in a negative way. If you heard that a movie is overly didactic, that's probably not good. Most people want to see a story and be entertained when going to the movies, and if it feels like the movie is just telling you what to think, that's didactic in a bad way.


The diet of the seven star flying squid, Martialia hyadesi, from the South Georgia sector of the Scotia Sea was described from stomach contents collected in winter (June) 2001. Diet was dominated by the hyperiid amphipod, Themisto gaudichaudii, fish (nine species, mainly myctophids) and cephalopods (mainly cannibalism). The absence of krill, Euphausia superba, and the presence of larger myctophids in the diet are discussed in terms of seasonal and annual prey availability.

Paramagnetism is a magnetic state where atoms align themselves to an externally applied magnetic field. In the absence of a magnetic field, the atoms do not retain their alignment due to excessive thermal vibration, in contrast to ferromagnetic materials, which do. Consequently, paramagnetism is often observed in heated ferromagnetic materials.


Find a spider by... webs and egg sacs Habronestes hunti | (Identified by Barbara Baehr, Queensland Museum) female: about 14 mm| male: about 12 mm In retreats, which may be shallow burrows in the ground, or on/under leaves in eucalypt forests The toxicity of this relatively large spider is unknown so it should be handled with caution This species is not normally seen in association with any kind of insect-trapping web but prefers to ambush insects. Its preferred food is said to be ants. Distinguishing features of this spider are the pattern and colour of its markings and the circle of 6 eyes surrounding a central pair of eyes. Spiders with a very similar appearance: Storena formosa, Subasteron daviesae and Hetaerica scenica. Email Ron Atkinson for more information. Last updated 17 March 2010.


Analog hearing aids use a continuously varying electrical signal to produce sound. Digital hearing aids change the electrical impulses into binary code (zeroes and ones), and these numbers are analyzed by a microprocessor within the hearing aid. Using a set of algorithms, the microprocessors process the impulses, and transmit the energy to the speaker. Analog hearing aids offer fewer options than digital, and must be adjusted by an audiologist in the office, though there are manual volume controls on some models. Analog hearing aids are the least flexible, but often the least expensive hearing aids available.


Margot Lovejoy (2004) Digital Currents, Art in the Electronic Age This book is about the connection between art and technology and the cultural and social changes throughout history. It follows different art movements and there development around the world. This chapter refers to the machine age and especially photography and the moving image starting in early 1900s. It is a comprehensive read and the writer knows her art history. The images are relevant to the writing and break up the text quite well. The images alone give the reader something to think about as the text can get lengthy; however you don’t feel like you get lost in the text as she uses plain English. It would be helpful if the writer gave a short explanation about each movement as she wrote about them as it would help the reader. The writer presumes the reader is knowlegable about art history.

Citizenship: meanings and expressions A great deal of conceptual work has been done on the nature of rights and the definitions of citizenship. However, little work have been done that explored how poor people perceive their citizenship rights, and how they act on these perceptions in different settings.

Outside of the classroom, there are plenty of activities geared towards fostering the growing leadership and cooperation skills in your children and students. From contrived treasure hunting escapades, to the general, time-tested physical activities, setting up a friendly and competitive atmosphere leads naturally to a system of rewards for achievement. It’s important to focus on the fun your kids will have, and not emphasize the skill necessary to come in first – although this is a natural aspect of every game. Ideally, the activities you choose will involve both physical and mental aspects of behavior. Many of these activities will work for students of ages 4 to 11.

Review of Various Aspects of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) Technology Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is essentially a wireless method of identification of physically placed objects in a certain state space. It is the most emerging technology these days which is becoming the alternate for barcode. Hence this technology is receiving lot of attention comparatively over past few years. RFID technology is used to automatically identify any item or a package. Automatic identification can be done with the help of RFID Tags and RFID Reader units. An RFID tag contains the transponder that can transmit wireless information over short distance. This information is then received by the device called RFID Reader and further processed through middleware infrastructure. Billions of RFID tags are successfully installed worldwide.

Hagen Aqua-Glo Fluorescent Aquarium Bulb promotes plant growth. Photosynthetic growing lamp. Stimulates plants. Promotes color highlights in fish. Hagen AQUA-GLO Fluorescent Bulbs Accentuates fish colors and promotes plant growth. Ideal for freshwater and planted aquariums. Made in USA. To achieve appropriate lighting, a general rule is to have a range of 1 to 3 watts of light per gallon of water in your aquarium, subtracting 10-15% of the tank volume to account for volume of materials inside the tank. Adequate lighting range = (1 to 3 watts/gallon) - (10%-15% of tank volume) For planted aquariums, the quantity of light for faster growing plant species should approach a minimum of 3 Watts per gallon.


What is Edugarphics? Edugraphics or education graphics are the visual representation of education information produced specific for the purpose of fostering learning. They combine visual elements such as images, colors, and instructional content together. Edugraphics may be a history timeline, process, instruction or a story intended to simplify the educational theory or concept. “Education + Graphics” = Edugraphics Why Edugraphics are used? - They help students learn faster and easier. - They help students engage more if the content is appealing to them. - They are more interesting and attention capturing. - They simplify and visualize a complex concept. - They help students stay focused on the lecture or material.

A rise in the number of cases of swine flu that are resistant to Tamiflu has raised fresh doubts about the effectiveness of the controversial drug. Research presented in Australia today also revealed that these strains of flu appeared in patients who had never been treated with the drug, which means the strains were passed from person to person. Britain has spent more than £500 million stockpiling Tamiflu as a precautionary measure to combat an outbreak of swine flu. However, the drugs company Roche, which makes Tamiflu, has been accused of withholding evidence that suggests it is barely more effective than paracetamol in treating swine flu. Although doubts were first raised by the British Medical Journal in 2009, Roche has yet to publish the entire…


Influenza A virus (IFAV), Influenza B virus (IFBV) and Influenza C virus (IFCV)belong to the family Orthomyxoviridae and used to be included among the myxoviruses. All of their virions contain single stranded, negative sense, segmented (7-8), RNA (ssNSRNA) genome.Choose subtypes and segments to browse targeting microRNAs! Influenza viruses are divided into 3 genera determined by the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) antigen: A - This group is the cause of epidemics and pandemics and has an avian intermediate host (IH); B - This group causes epidemics and has no IH; C - This group does not occur in epidemics and causes mild disease. In contrast to influenza A viruses, which infect humans and a wide range of other animals, there is no evidence that influenza B viruses infect other hosts besides humans and seals[Pedro Pechirra et al., 2005].


God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen (also known as God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen) is an English traditional Christmas carol. The melody is in Aeolian mode. It was published by William B. Sandys in 1833, although the author is unknown. Like so many early Christmas songs, this carol was written as a direct reaction to the music of the fifteenth century church, in Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas. However, in the as-yet earliest known publication of the carol on a circa 1760 broadsheet, it is described as a “new Christmas carol,” suggesting its origin is actually in the mid-18th century. It appeared again among “new carols for Christmas” in another 18th-century source, a chapbook believed to be printed between 1780-1800.


The 14th Amendment: It’s kind of a big deal. Today in 1868, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. It covers citizenship (children of non-citizens born on U.S. soil are citizens from birth), equal protection under the law, and other issues, many of which were raised by the end of the Civil War. The 14th was the groundwork for a number of landmark Supreme Court cases, including Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, and U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, pictured above. Wong Kim Ark, the son of Chinese immigrants who was born in the U.S., was denied rentry into the U.S. after a visit to China. He sued, and won, in 1898: SCOTUS reaffirmed his citizenship, making him one of the earliest Asian American citizens.


"The world would be a much better place if only everyone would simply do exactly as I say." -- Gore Vidal Early technological progress owed much to the English firm of Broadwood, who already had a reputation for the splendour and powerful tone of its harpsichords. Broadwood constructed instruments that were progressively larger, louder, and more robustly constructed. They sent pianos to both Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven, and were the first firm to build pianos with a range of more than five octaves: five octaves and a fifth during the 1790s, six octaves by 1810 (Beethoven used the extra notes in his later works), and seven octaves by 1820. The Viennese makers similarly followed these trends, however the two schools used different piano actions: Broadwoods were more robust, Viennese instruments were more sensitive.piano lessons Post a Comment


The story behind the creation of Verdi's opera "A Masked Ball" is just about as interesting as the drama on stage. Verdi based "A Masked Ball" on the assassination of a Swedish king. But given the the political climate of 19th century Europe, authorities were nervous about the opera's subject matter. So censors forced him to change the setting to colonial Boston and reduce the rank of the leading character from king to governor. The Minnesota Opera opens its season with a production of "The Masked Ball," restoring the original Swedish setting and characters. In a conversation with Minnesota Public Radio's John Birge, Verdi expert and scholar Philip Gossett says that "A Masked Ball" is a remarkable combination of comedy and tragedy.


On June 5, 2017, Mike Groenewold, Park Horticulturist with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will present a program about Pollinators at Calamus Outfitters at 7:00PM. Many people may have observed that bees, butterflies and other pollinators are currently in need of help as their numbers are declining dramatically. Some people may not realize how important these insects are to our existence. We rely on pollinators to help plants produce many of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts we eat. In fact, we can thank pollinators for nearly one out of every three bites of food we eat. Extension is committed to helping Nebraskans know more about creating resource- and energy-efficient rural and urban landscapes, protecting and managing water resources, properly managing insect and wildlife pests, and more.

International Year of Biodiversity Robert Porter Allen April 24th, 1905 to June 28th, 1963 American author and conservationist recognized for saving the whooping crane from extinction by discovering the nesting ground of the sole remaining flock near the Arctic Circle. He was a leader in having whooping crane habitats in Texas and Canada proclaimed as refuges. He helped establish a working protective plan for flamingos and recommended methods of saving the small surviving colonies of roseate spoonbills, thus helping to perpetuate the species. His monographs on the whooping crane, the roseate spoonbill, and the American flamingo are the standard authoritative works on these species. Many books by Allen are available at your local library.


Some parents may not know how to support their children in school. These parents as children may have had an unsuccessful school experience where they felt frustrated and even ashamed of their personal educational outcomes. Understanding that these parents may not have the knowledge on how to navigate the educational system to the advantage of their children, identify what does Hjalmarston suggest? Do you agree with Hjalmarson's characterization of the problem and her categorization of parents? Hjalmarston believes strong intergenerational correlations exist between problems of their children in school and lack of parental involvement to solve these problems. While categorizing these parents as bad would be not helpful it is important that she highlights how these ... Discusses parents involvement in student education.

Bridging the Racial Divide W.E.B. DuBois wrote in The Souls of Black Folk that the problem of the 20th century in America is the problem of the color line. With the Racial Disparities Jigsaw Mini-Unit, Teaching Tolerance takes on that hot-button issue. In this lesson plan, 8-12th grade students meet in small "jigsaw" groups to investigate historical racism and its impact on school segregation, the achievement gap, the income gap, and disparities in our healthcare and criminal justice systems. The lesson is designed to encourage students to "explore structural aspects of racism" and "connect historical racism with contemporary social problems." Links to discussion resources are provided.


About this course: Most people know that electrically active cells in nerves, in the heart and in the brain generate electrical currents, and that somehow these result in measurements we all have heard about, such as the electrocardiogram. But how? That is, what is it that happens within the electrically active tissue that leads to the creation of currents and voltages in their surroundings that reflect the excitation sequences timing, and condition of the underlying tissue. This course explores that topic. Rather than being a primer on how to interpret waveforms of any kind in terms of normality or disease, the goal here is to provide insight into how the mechanism of origin actually works, and to do so with simple examples that are readily pictured with simple sketches and one’s imagination, and then moving forward into comparison with experiments and finding outcomes quantitatively.


Amy does a textile decoration technique known as batik with pigment dyes and wax in her garage. She starts with white fabric and applies wax to save this color. The fabric is then dyed the lightest color and dried. Once the fabric is dry, more melted wax is applied and the new color in the next dye bath is repelled by the wax. This process is an ancient one that has been used in many different cultures. Wax is only one kind of resist used in textile arts. This process is repeated again and again until the colors are the right combination. The wax is then removed by ironing it off of the fabric and onto paper. The same process is used in making “pysanki”, intricate and colorful dyed eggs made in traditional Ukrainian designs using wax and dyes. At the end of the process, wax is removed from the eggshell using a candle and a soft cloth.

The knowledge base Good decisions are based on sound knowledge. In environmental decision-making, this means understanding the state of the environment and the drivers of environmental change, as well as tracking global responses to change. Data from individual countries can be collated to form worldwide information resources, which enable global targets to be set and progress towards them measured. At UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre we work with partners around the world to bring together, manage and keep updated several critically important global data sets. Our partners help us bring together national data in standard formats that can be compiled and compared with data from other countries.

It seems that significant numbers of people wearing earphones are so absorbed in their music that they step into the path of oncoming vehicles. This will become an increasing problem when vehicles become electrically-driven. Today’s invention offers improved safety for these people. It takes the form of a microphone mounted on the headphones. When other people see you about to step off the curb at a dangerous moment, they simply say the word ‘HALT’ or some other easy, universal keyword -even if they are across the street. The headphone system is programmed to detect and recognise this term and will at once issue a verbal warning to the wearer. This might say “Stop MrX” or simply deliver a loud, simulated engine noise or screeching brakes to one ear. In this way, an individual can be more safe because of the vigilance of the crowd around him.


He was a King like many others in human history, Groomed to swim to glory in rivers of blood, guts and gore; Programmed to carve an empire out of human misery, And to sculpt his name for posterity out of human skulls. But, for the third king of the Mauryas, it was not destined to be so. The Kalinga genocide in 262 B.C made Ashoka see the river of red And realize with horror,sorrow and remorse, The grave folly,the wastage and the terrible human suffering; The million agonies caused by this mindless slaughter of war And the empty victory on the corpse-ridden battlefield. And then, through his heart rending anguish, The Light of Wisdom dawned on him; And then was born in him the True Emperor, A King-of-Hearts, a Creature of Compassion, The maker of Edicts,the pillar of Buddhism, ‘Piyadasi’, the Beloved-of-the-Gods.


Polyanthus is a common name for flowers part of the primula genus. They are known for being similar to Primroses, but unlike Primroses the flowers stand proud of the leaves of the plant. They are named Primula from the Latin primus meaning first, because they are the first flowers to appear in Spring. Polyanthus plants are known to be a natural hybrid between the cowslip (Primula veris) and the common primrose (Primula vulgaris). Polyanthus flowers come in a wide range of colours and shades. They are often admired for their bright multi coloured petals and ability to brighten up any garden.

The responsibilities and purposes of a Legion seem to vary. They are capable of performing tasks ranging from bridge-crew on starships to ground combat. The violent nature of the Elite society likely demands that Legions should be capable of engaging in varied forms of combat. A Warrior Crèche is likely a type of Legion where newer warriors hone their combat skills before being assigned to a regular legion. Warrior crèches seem to be specifically used for ground combat, and are carried aboard Covenant Fleets should any ground actions be needed. - The term Legion was originally used to describe an infantry unit in Ancient Rome; the general size of these units fluctuated during the military history of the Roman Empire between approximately 4500 and 5200 soldiers.


A generation starship was a starship in which more than one generation passed and developed while on board during the ship's travels through space. In the 22nd century, the Leviathan generation ships were considered the only way to get mankind to colonise space. Unfortunately for the Leviathans, faster-than-light travel was invented at the same time that their prototypes were built. (AUDIO: Leviathan) From circa 10,000,000 to 10,000,700, the Ark, which travelled from Earth to Refusis II, was a generation starship, as numerous generations lived and died during the 700 year journey. (TV: The Ark) The Amandala was a generation ship which was set on a course to Galaxy Eight that the Eighth Doctor visited. (PROSE: Reversal of Fortune)

Common grackle (purple grackle) This black bird is about the size of a mourning dove. Its black coloring shows blue, green, and purple iridescence in sunlight. Mature birds have a bright yellow eye. Females are browner and less shiny. Purple Grackles flock together by the hundreds, croaking and scolding. They are omnivorous ground foragers; not only seeds and insects but mice and even other birds make up their diet. They nest high up, often in coniferous trees. What brings it to the SBG? Food, cover, nesting sites. The SBG’s open areas, shrubby places, and treelines are all attractive to the Common Grackle. Grass seed, perennial seed, and insect life are all abundant at the SBG. When can I see it? Mainly in spring and summer. Most range maps show that Common Grackles are year-round birds in central Pennsylvania, but they are uncommon in winter and their spring arrival is very apparent.

Holddown for Seismic Retrofit Seismic retrofit is a means of strengthening the supports of a structure by anchoring the base to the foundation by means of bolting. The brick wall in the photo is unreinforced masonry, which is vulnerable in earthquakes. We first shored up the wall for stability, similar to scaffolding, while we worked. In the photo you see the underside of a floor. The triangular metal brackets are holddowns that are bolted and epoxied to the floor and wall studs. The epoxy method creates a more durable bond than bolts alone.
