The Aztecs were a warrior people who managed to establish themselves in the great central highland Basin of Mexico in the early fourteenth century. By two hundred years later, they were the political overlords of much of the country. Aztec-style sculpture proliferated throughout central Mexico, and deity images existed in quantity at sacred places such as caves, springs, and roadside shrines. Among the deities were female fertility figures that represent Chalchiuhtlicue, goddess of water and springs. The goddess is depicted here as a fine lady wearing a fancy shawl and a headdress that consists of a multistrand brow-band and large bulbous tassels falling onto the shoulders. Her eyes may originally have been inlaid. These images are quite serene and are thought to represent an ideal Aztec female type.


Innovations in technology opened up new opportunities for Bedford Lemere & Co. Guglielmo Marconi, the radio pioneer, was a client before and during the First World War. A formidable business man as well as an inventor, it is possible that he commissioned these images for publicity purposes. The Gaiety Restaurant formed part of a theatre development designed by Ernest Runtz and Norman Shaw. It opened in 1904 but its vast dining area proved uneconomic and it closed in 1908. Bedford Lemere & Co. recorded this room twice: in 1908 as the Grill Room of the Gaiety Restaurant, and in 1913 as a Marconi training centre. In 1912 the British government awarded Marconi the contract for a chain of wireless stations to link the British Empire. Marconi ran courses and examinations to meet the fast growing demand for radio operators trained in Morse code.


Description of cheese Emmental Français has been produced since at least the 13th century in the region Rhône-Alpes (Savoie and Haute-Savoie). It is a hard cheese made from cow's milk, cooked and pressed. There are many holes (also called eyes) inside it. A good Emmental must have at least 3 holes every 6 inches. Its taste is fruity with a subtle nutty core and its aroma is very delicate. Some representatives of this cheese are produced from raw milk, and like numerous great wines have the labeling "Grand Cru".


Tinikling is the national dance of the Philippines. It is similar to rope dancing but in this dance, two bamboos poles are hit against wooden blocks on the floor (or sometimes, just against a wooden floor itself) and against each other. In English, "Tinikling" means "tikling-like." In Tinikling, dancers are imitating the way the tikling bird walks amongst the grass stems and bamboo traps set in its native country. Here is an example of the Tinikling dance:


Conditions of Use World History Fair World history effects our modern lives, because it influences the new ideas for inventions. I learned that gladiators were a much bigger part of Roman history than I originally thought. The most interesting part for me was that there were so many different types of gladiators. I found out that gladiators were not normal people for the most part, the were slaves criminals and captives of war. I learned from Evan that the stone hedge was much bigger than I thought. Reed had a very cool model of a catapult that he let me fire. He told me that there were more than 10 different kinds of catapults, of mideval war machines. I had a very good time at the world history fair. Article posted May 7, 2012 at 03:24 PM • comment • Reads 441 Return to Blog List Add a Comment


Using Water Wisely Every day the average American pours, flushes, and sprinkles 40 to 130 gallons of water at home. Using simple conservation measures, that amount could be reduced by 14 to 39 gallons, or 30 percent. For 7 million customers, that’s a savings of 98 to 273 million gallons. Every day. Water is a precious, limited resource. We encourage our customers—as well as our partners, vendors, suppliers, and employees—to use water wisely. In partnership with leading conservation agencies, United Water promotes responsible, wise water usage.United Water also partners with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of its WaterSense program. From conservation publications to educational programs to local technologies, we are working to ensure that our great-, great-, great- grandchildren will enjoy a plentiful supply of clean water.


Dynamic Approach to Defend Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks Using an Adaptive Spin Lock Rate Control Mechanism Source: Science Publications The frequency, severity and sophistication of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack pose a serious threat to the availability of evolving Internet services. DDoS attack is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource the people would normally expect to have. They are capable of either crashing the host such that it cannot communicate properly with the rest of the network or disrupting/degrading the host's service and rendering it unavailable for legitimate users. The key feature of DDoS includes distributing the attack across several hosts and coordinating the attack among the hosts.


[the nourishing power ], in Scandinavian mythology, is the cow created by Surt to nourish Ymir. She supplied him with four rivers of milk, and was herself nourished by licking the rocks. (See Ymir.) Bör, the first man, was made by Audhumla licking salt from the snow. Odin was the son of Bör. The breath of Audhumla was very sweet, but her milk was bitter.

Celiac’s Tiny Offenders Scientists in Australia are reporting that they’ve found the culprits within gluten that make the protein intolerable to people who have celiac disease. Dr. Bob Anderson, a gastroenterologist in Melbourne, Australia and his colleagues examined blood samples from more than 200 patients with celiac disease, after they had eaten food containing gluten. After screening the blood for responses to thousands of protein fragments, called peptides, they found the immune systems of the patients seemed to react negatively only to three of the tiny peptides. The findings open the door to treatments aimed specifically at these peptides. In fact, Anderson and his colleagues are busily developing a vaccine that would see patients injected with the peptides, with the intent of slowly building tolerance to gluten.

Question: How do I ensure my child receives proper diabetes treatment at school? Answer: Well if your child has diabetes, they have to take it to school with them. The first thing to do is sit with your health care provider and work out a diabetes care plan for the school setting. There's a wonderful guide by the National Diabetes Education Program and you can get it on their website. It gives you all the issues about diabetes management in school including how to establish one of these care plans. Take that care plan to the school, sit with the school nurse, talk about all the things that need to be done -- blood glucose testing, insulin delivery, how to treat high and low blood sugar. And with all that accomplished and you monitoring that everything is occurring the way it should, your child can succeed intellectually, emotionally, and medically in a school setting.


It's the tenth anniversary of the Gulf War. America certainly didn't lose, but what else do we know about it? Just before dawn on August 2, 1990, a war of a sort began in the Middle East. An Iraqi army of 100,000 troops crossed the frontier of Kuwait and swept south toward the capital city. Before the day was out, Iraq had occupied virtually all Kuwait, and Iraqi formations were seen as far south as the Saudi Arabian border. Neither observers on the spot nor Western intelligence agencies were able to say what the president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, intended to do next.


A kingfisher found on the Yongsu, Papua, Indonesia. These are warm blooded, egg laying vertebrates that are covered in feathers and whose forelimbs are modified into wings; in most instances these are used for flying. Some birds such as penguins are flightless and instead use their wings to propel themselves through the water. There are close to 10,000 known bird species worldwide. Within agricultural and urbanized ecosystems birds are the primary pest controllers. Some are important pollinators, and act as seed dispersers. Scavenging birds also play an important role in nutrient recycling through the disposal of decaying carcasses, thus reducing the threat of disease outbreaks. Meet a few of the bird species we've discovered. The Wattled smoky honeyeater is a common and unwary inhabitant of the Foja uplands, and feeds mainly on small fruit.


Married off at very young ages, less prized than boys, victims of sex trafficking, and very much excluded from education, girls are the most vulnerable group in the developing world. There, 66 million girls find themselves out of school, either because their family can’t afford to send them, or because their role is seen to be in the home or working. A new film explores the lives of 9 young girls from across the developing world. It argues that investing in young girls’ education is the key, not only to enriching their lives, but to eradicating poverty. Richard Robbins is director of "Girl Rising," and Holly Gordon is executive director of 10x10, a global campaign to educate and empower girls.

The genus Dorotheanthus occurs in the Western and Northern Cape Provinces of South Africa. Dorotheanthus are small herbaceous annuals with extremely attractive flowers. Seed sown in mid-winter will produce flowering plants by early spring and will blossom. They will not last the summer in oppressive heat. Though short-lived, their showy flowers make them beautiful horticultural subjects. Dorotheanthus are easily propagated by seed.

This is a document to be used in a lesson on teaching nature vocabulary (rocks, mountain, river, sky, cloud, etc). As you present the vocabulary to students, they draw pictures next to the written word. Afterward, they will have this sheet to refer back to in future activities. This sheet also provides the sentence structures "Hay..." and "El_______ es _______" (to be used to describe nature). This seemed rather effective in my class and I think it will be in yours too.

Published in Heart Disease Weekly, October 19th, 2003 More people die from sudden cardiac death (SCD) each year than from AIDS, breast cancer, and lung cancer combined. The condition accounts for nearly 60% of all cardiovascular-related deaths, claiming the lives of approximately 300,000 people per year in the U.S. Yet, because there are few warning signs or symptoms to identify people at risk, and since SCD is by definition fatal, leaving no survivors to study, scientists know little about the underlying mechanisms that cause the condition.

Liver troubles? Soon you might just print off a new one7/3/2012 Organ donation might soon be a thing of the past. A team of scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they're one step closer to creating a synthetic liver, having found a way to use 3D printing technology to build a "network" for blood vessels to grow into. The find, which overcomes some of the previous problems with creating manmade organs, could revolutionize organ transplants. "We tried to make a liver, so we surrounded [the network of blood vessels] with liver cells, but one could do it with any other tissue," said MIT's Professor Sangeeta Bhatia. How else do you think 3D printing will benefit humanity?


<artificial intelligence> The most common way to train a neural network; a kind of unsupervised learning; named after canadian neuropsychologist, Donald The algorithm is based on Hebb's Postulate, which states that where one cell's firing repeatedly contributes to the firing of another cell, the magnitude of this contribution will tend to increase gradually with time. This means that what may start as little more than a coincidental relationship between the firing of two nearby neurons becomes strongly causal. Despite limitations with Hebbian learning, e.g., the inability to learn certain patterns, variations such as Signal Hebbian Learning and Differential Hebbian Learning are still used. heavy metal « heavyweight « heavy wizardry « Hebbian learning » heisenbug » Helen Keller mode

Strabismus is a disorder that causes one eye to be misaligned with the other when focusing. Strabismus is caused by a lack of coordination between the eyes. As a result, the eyes look in different directions and do not focus at the same time on a single point. In most cases of strabismus in children, the cause is unknown. In more than half of these cases, the problem is present at or shortly after birth (congenital strabismus). In children, when the two eyes fail to focus on the same image, the brain may learn to ignore the input from one eye. If this is allowed to continue, the eye that the brain ignores will never see well. This loss of vision is called amblyopia, and it is frequently associated with strabismus.

Recently scientists from around the world met in Atlanta, Georgia, to launch a global “Amphibian Ark” project in an effort to save thousands of frogs, toads and salamander species threatened by fungi, pathogens, increasing UV radiation, rapidly changing habitats in the face of global warming – and the unknown. Nearly half of the worldwide amphibian species are in serious decline, one-third are threatened and an estimated 122 species have become extinct since 1980! Amphibians, like honey bees, are considered to be canaries in coal mines that warn the miners when there is not enough oxygen to breathe. How do the canaries warn? By dying.

Sin and Why Jesus Died For Us Submitted by JaneFill a plastic or glass jar of water about two-thirds full of water. Talk to your children about how when they were born they had not sinned and that they had pure clean hearts (like this water), but then as we all get older we do things that aren't pleasing to Jesus, teacher, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, etc. and when this happens or hearts aren't clean anymore (add a couple of drops of food coloring to the water and stir) Then tell them that their is good news. Jesus tells us that if we come to him and repent he will forgive us (add bleach to the water) This is a great story an example to the children about how Jesus LOVES us no matter WHAT!!

Most hearing loss goes unnoticed because of its gradual onset. Family and friends tend to notice there’s a problem before the person with hearing loss does. Persons with hearing loss often realize how much they have been missing once they get help. Signs of hearing loss may include: - People seem to mumble - Asking others to repeat themselves - Difficulty following conversations when the background is noisy or when in group situations - Children’s and women's voices are difficult to hear - Being able to hear people talk, but having difficulty understanding the words - The TV or radio are turned up louder than normal - High pitched sounds such as birds, crickets and bells cannot be heard - Family, colleagues and friends suggest you might have a hearing problem - You often hear a ringing or buzzing in your ears.

Nitrate film was the first motion picture film stock which was manufactured in 35mm, a gauge standardized by Eastman Kodak. Made of cellulose nitrate, it was highly flammable and was replaced by a cellulose acetate film stock, aka safety film, ca. 1951 for theatrical films. As early as 1919, 35mm acetate film was used in educational and community settings and for all 16mm, 8mm, super 8mm film. Nitrate film, although remarkably stable under the right environmental conditions, deteriorates becoming brittle, sticky, and finally disintegrating into a brown powder. It is unlikely that you will find nitrate motion picture film but if you think you have, contact an archives for advice.

By Dr. Brian McDonough, Medical Editor PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression where people start to react negatively to the absence of light. It classically happens this time of year when the days are short and the sky is dark and dreary. One of the most effective treatments for seasonal affective disorder is time in front of a bank of bright lights. But for every person with this condition, there are literally hundreds battling the blues that come from February. There are ways to escape. Some read books, others try to get exercise and the very lucky go on vacation. But keep your chin up…March and spring are around the corner and pitchers and catchers reported to spring training over a week ago.


, Nottinghamshire. This was the first of the "new" workhouses in England; it preceded the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act. Conditions there were deliberately harsh, to discourage the poor from seeking relief. The master's quarters were situated in the centre of the building and from the windows of his rooms, he was able to see each of the exercise yards apart from one corner of the able-bodied men's yard. Families were separated in the workhouse: there was an exercise yard for able-bodied men, male 'deserving poor', able-bodied women, 'deserving poor' women and another for the children. The dividing and perimeter walls were too high for people to be able to see outside or into the other yards. Last modified 7 November 2002

Buffalo treehopper—Stictocephala bisonia Treehopper adults are commonly greenish to brown and 0.5 inch long or shorter. Covering the body, they have an expanded hood that may be formed into hornlike projections. Nymphs have numerous spines on the back of the abdomen, and both immatures and adults jump readily. Treehoppers suck plant juices. This feeding damage is slight, although the honeydew they produce supports the growth of sooty mold, which may blacken leaves and stems when treehoppers become numerous. Treehopper nymphs are commonly seen in clusters on plant stems. The buffalo treehopper is easy to control with a forceful spray of water. High populations of nymphs and adults may be reduced by spraying exposed insects with insecticidal

When we talk about hypnosis we often tend to be either talking about the relaxed, focussed, absorbed feelings associated with a 'trance state', or we tend to be talking about the interesting things people can do when hypnotised: such as not feeling pain, or experiencing hallucinations. Some scientists think that hypnosis is an 'altered state of consciousness' marked by changes in the way the brain functions. Others believe that hypnotised participants are actively motivated to behave in a hypnotic manner and are not simply passively responding to hypnotic suggestions. Therapists who use hypnosis sometimes talk about using hypnosis to access contents and resources of the unconscious mind. Like the story of the blind men and the elephant, it is possible that these explanations all describe different parts of the overall phenomenon of hypnosis.


History of the IHCA The International Horn Competition of America (formerly the American Horn Competition) came into being because two people wanted to promote a higher standard for US horn soloists. In 1975 Elliott Higgins (a Cleveland area hornist and conductor) and George McCracken (horn designer for King Musical Instruments) attended the IHS Symposium near Montreal and observed a contrast between American horn soloists who sat and played from music and European soloists who stood and performed from memory. Higgins and McCracken decided to create an American solo horn competition, named the Heldenleben International Horn Competition. Its goals were to showcase American horn soloists and encourage horn professors to teach the solo literature in addition to standard etudes and orchestral excerpts.


By: Alex Breitler, Record STOCKTON – Watch out for lizards, Ruben Sarabia says, kicking up dust as he tromps through a shallow valley in the middle of a walnut orchard. “This is actually called ‘The Gully,’ ” Sarabia says. “People who say anything else must really know their history.” This “gully” is the head of Mormon Channel, which – strange though it may seem, given the lizards, the dust and the walnut trees – once carried much of the water that flowed naturally through Stockton out to the Delta. Is there enough water? Not for regular flows on both the Mormon Channel and the Calaveras River, says Bill Jennings, a Stockton environmentalist who opposed this project when it was proposed in the 1990s. “Dreams die hard,” Jennings said. “It would be a wonderful thing to have the water running through Stockton, but none of us are prepared to kill the Calaveras River to do it.”

It's not the air temperature but the soil temperature that is critical in seed germination. Seeds begin growing when the soil reaches the optimal temperature for germination. Certain vegetable seeds can be planted out in the early spring but they still need warm soil for good germination. You can help "Mother Nature" and speed up soil warming by covering your vegetable garden soil with black plastic for two weeks prior to planting. Depending on where you live, you can start this as early as March 15th. The black plastic will warm the soil much faster, allowing you to plant certain crops earlier and still have good germination.


A cornerstone of Head Start is its comprehensive services approach to school readiness for low-income children. Head Start provides: - Language and literacy early childhood education to prepare children for kindergarten. - Health services to ensure health is not a barrier to school readiness, including immunizations, oral health, mental health, and physical health including developmental screenings. - Social services to help parents reach self sufficiency so poverty presents less of a barrier to a child's ability to reach his or her full potential. - Social/Emotional early childhood education to ensure children have the social/emotional skills needed to develop cognitively.

Definition of Transforming growth factor Transforming growth factor: (TGF) One of several proteins secreted by transformed cells that can stimulate the growth of normal cells. Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha or TGF-A) binds the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and stimulates the growth of endothelial cells (cells that line the inside of blood vessels). Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta or TGF-B) is found in hematopoietic (blood-forming) tissue and initiates a signaling pathway that suppresses the early development of cancer cells.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary Last Editorial Review: 6/14/2012 Find out what women really need.

Are Lithium Ion Batteries Recyclable? Yes! Lithium Ion Batteries are recyclable. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries often found in handheld electronics such as cell phones and e-readers, as well as other electronics. Most curbside recycling programs do not collect batteries, because they can contaminate other recyclable materials and are more difficult to breakdown than paper, glass, and plastic. However, there are many places that collect lithium-ion batteries for recycling. These include many Best Buy and Home Depot locations for standard rechargeable Li-Ion batteries and O'Rielly Auto Parts for car batteries. For a complete list of locations near you check out Earth911.org/recycling. Want to learn more about lithium-ion batteries? Watch below to learn how they work!


The Original Olive Leaf The olive leaf as a symbol of peace has its roots in the Torah's account of the Great Deluge. When Noach wished to determine whether the flood waters had subsided he sent a dove outside the ark. When it returned in the evening with an olive leaf in its mouth Noach realized that the waters had indeed subsided. Our Talmudic Sages say that the olive leaf came from the Mount of Olives where it survived the devastating flood waters since the deluge did not affect Eretz Yisrael. Thus was born the tradition of associating the olive leaf with peace.

25 Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease Agitation and mood swings It’s common for someone suffering from AD to seem anxious or agitated. They may constantly move around and pace, get upset in certain places, or become fixated on specific details. Agitation usually results from fear, confusion, fatigue, and feeling overwhelmed from trying to make sense of a world that no longer makes sense, explains Gwyther. Certain circumstances can also make the individual more anxious, such as relocating to a nursing home. In addition to agitation, rapid and seemingly unprovoked mood swings are another sign of dementiagoing from calm to tearful to angry for no apparent reason. Next: Impaired judgment

Science Operations Configuration During the primary science phase, the orbiter's job is to point its science instruments at Mars to collect images and other data from targets on the surface of Mars, while ensuring that the high-gain antenna and solar arrays are continuously tracking the Earth and the Sun, respectively. The orbiter typically keeps its science instruments pointed to nadir (looking straight down at the surface). A few times per day, for about fifteen minutes each time, the orbiter points side-to-side to capture high-priority science targets that don't fall directly beneath the spacecraft. The spacecraft can point off-nadir up to 30 degrees.


Monasteries and temples in Mongolia To be able to see the Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet please download the font During communist purges in the 1930´s most monasteries in Mongolia have been destroyed. Monks have been killed or taken to Siberia, to be never heard from again. Since the fall of communism however there is a real revival of Buddhism taking place. Lama´s are trained again, old monasteries are being restored or rebuild at a different place and new monasteries arise. On this website you will find a, far from complete, overview of monasteries in Mongolia. In general a monastery would consist of various buildings on a compound. One of these buildings is the main temple, where often - though not always - the main ceremonies take place. Like the door of a ger, the entry of a temple should be pointing to the south For more information see an overview of all the monasteries.

|New Orleans Incorporated: 200 Years of the City Charter| Louisiana Division | New Orleans Public Library p a g e 4 |n e x t . c o n t e n t s| Section 13 of the 1805 Charter confirmed municipal ownership of all lands that had belonged to the city under the Spanish and French dominations. It was thus necessary for the Mayor and Conseil de Ville to investigate Bernard Marigny’s claim to property on the eastern side of the city before giving him final permission to subdivide those lands into the Faubourg Marigny. Displayed here is the report of a committee appointed by the Conseil de Ville to conduct that investigation. [Ordinances and resolutions of the Conseil de Ville, 1805-1815]


Ultra-thin electronics that dissolve inside the body have been devised by scientists in the US and could be used for a range of medical roles.

||This article is outdated. (June 2012) Mauer is a village in south western Germany. It is located between Heidelberg and Sinsheim in the Rhein-Neckar district in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Mauer is the location where the first remains of Homo heidelbergensis were found. The remains, a jaw, were discovered in 1907 in the local quarry by Daniel Hartmann, a worker there. On 1 June 2012, John Ehret (no party) took office as mayor. He is thought to be the first black mayor in Germany.


What sort of environment protection measures have been taken in connection with the motorway? The drainage water is lead away in coated ditches, preventing the eventually polluted water leaking into the ground water. The water is lead through oil separators and then - already filtered - to the closest naturally existing water streams or rivers. This is European practice to minimize the impact of road construction on the water circle. Further a protection forest is placed along the motorway to reduce air and noise pollution. In sensitive areas in addition noise protection walls were constructed. In order to protect the wildlife and to prevent crashes with animals a game fence was set up on both sides of the motorway on the entire length.


In 1918, an influenza pandemic dramatically reduced the Haisla population and wiped out the Wolf and Frog clans. The Haisla community recovered and continues to evolve. Today there are about 1500 Haisla, half of which live in Kitamaat Village. Though clan distinctions and connections remain today, Haisla culture combines traditional heritage with Canadian culture. The Na Na Kila Institute was established in 1998 to help protect and encourage development of Haisla culture, including language. Na Na Kila helped bring about the repatriation of a Haisla totem pole that had been removed in 1929 and was missing for more than 60 years. It was discovered in the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm in 1991 and, after years of negotiation, it was returned to Kitamaat on July 1, 2006. As part of the agreement the Haisla carved a replica pole for the museum in Stockholm.

Jacques Lipchitz was one of the first artists to apply the principles of Cubism to sculpture. Born Chaim Jacob Lipchitz, he arrived in Paris from Lithuania in 1909, with little artistic background. As a young sculptor in Paris, Lipchitz’s introduction to the Cubism of Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris was crucial to the development of his early work. Biography and art, auction, artworks, interview, statement, website: Original artworks, prints, exhibition posters, monographs, books, collectibles. Working in Paris around the middle of the 1920s, the Lithuanian-born sculptor Jacques Lipchitz explored the relationship between space and matter and produced a series of sculptures collectively called ‘transparents’.

(AP) -- An increase in the population of a tiny crustacean and busy shipping lanes are being blamed for a jump in the number of whale deaths in Northern California waters this year. With at least five whales reported killed in the region since July, researchers believe an abundance of krill - part of the whales' favorite food group - might be leading the whales into the paths of ships. A spokeswoman for the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary told the San Francisco Chronicle that an estimated 2,800 blue whales, 2,600 fin whales and 1,400 humpback whales regularly ply the waters off the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. Mary Jane Schramm says the organization is working on measures that could reduce the number of collisions between whales and ships.

BrainBall Task 2.10 In this task you need to translate a number into a location within a grid of squares. You are given a target number and you have to determine where in the grid that numnber lies. The top-left square represents spot #1 and the spot numbers increases sequentially from left to right, wrapping from line to line – just as you read text. In a 10×10 grid, the top-right piece would be spot #10 and the bottom-right piece would be spot #100. Each games grid will be a different size, making it more difficult to memorize specific locations. It’s probably best to count the width of your grid at the start and work from there, Click on a piece when you think you have identified the correct spot. If you are correct you will get a new target. Score is based on number correct with penalty for mistakes.


This is a nice problem that I would like to share. Problem: In a public garden, there a statue consisting of a spherical stone and a stone cup. The ball is 1 meter in diameter and weighs at least a ton. The cup is an upside-down hemispherical shell, and the ball sits in this shell and fits it almost exactly. Water is pumped into the bottom of shell so that a thin film exists between shell and the ball. The result is a ball that is free to rotate with negligible friction. You only have access to the ball near the top, so while you can push it to make it turn around any horizontal axis, you can't get enough of a grip to make it turn around the vertical axis. Can you impart a net angular momentum around the vertical axis anyway, so that the balls spins around the vertical axis?

I have 3 perpendicular 3D unit vectors. Imagining them rotate around a Point in space, I can see how they could represent an object's orientation. However, I have no idea how to convert those vectors into Euler angles (or a rotation matrix, quaternion, etc.). Thinking about it, I don't think you need 3 vectors to describe every possible orientation. As long as there is a forward and an upward directional vector, there should be no confusion about how the object would be oriented. Anyone have an idea on how to calculate an orientation from two (or three) perpendicular vectors?

We depend upon our colonies of honey bees to pollinate our fruits. The first honey that we extract in the early summer is a unique blend of the nectar from cherry, apple, and peach blossoms as well as from the flowers of our raspberry plants, blueberry plants, and dandelions. Our summer and fall honey is a blend of local seasonal wild flowers. The color and flavor of honey depends upon the flowers that provided the nectar. As a rule, the lighter the honey, the milder the honey flavor; the darker the honey, the bolder the flavor. Honey is an excellent energy food because it contains simple sugars that the body can use quickly. Honey is a safe and wholesome food for children and adults. (However, honey should not be given to infants under one year of age.)

The State Education Board is considering doing away with writing portfolios. Writing portfolios are papers students in fourth, seventh, and twelfth grades work on through the year. The papers are then graded at the end along with C.A.T.S. state tests. The pieces are designed to show how much a student has learned throughout the year not just on a test day. Teachers say they spend too much on the projects though and tend to overlook the basics like grammar. This summer, the Department of Education, will create a task force to look at different ways to improve the writing portfolios. Tips for Parents According to Ky Department of Education: Don't direct, edit or correct your children's writing. Do ask questions and provide opportunities to help your children improve their writing and understand the five-step writing process.

The beaches of Normandy were the only viable landing points for the Allied Forces. At the same time, it was acknowledged that this section of the French Coast was heavily fortified and the authorities realised that the use of conventional tactics such as combined tank and infantry would not prevail. A solution was proposed by the brilliant, eccentric General Hobart which involved the creation of special assault vehicles (avres). Our hero is a driver of one of these tanks - his job to pave a way through minefields, barbed wire and anti tank trenches, allowing the Canadian Infantry through. Highly dangerous and truly heroic, this is one of the great untold stories of World War II.

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there. Can babies tell the difference between their mom and dad? In fact, yes! Babies as young as 3 months old are able to distinguish between photos of adult male and female faces. Studies suggest that infants do favor one sex over the other -- namely, the gender of the person who's their primary caregiver, whether it's Mom or Dad. Interestingly, the preference for one gender over the other appears to be learned from experience -- it's not preprogrammed. --Hagar Scher Originally published in Parents magazine, October 2006.

Aboriginal art at Ubirr This ~2200 y.o. drawing of a thylacine is on a cave rock in Ubirr, an aboriginal holy site in the Kakadu National Park, in the Northern Territory of Australia. There is art depicting indigenous wildlife, local spirits, and the aborigines themselves. Since approximately 40,000 years ago, the many rock outcroppings at Ubirr have been painted and re-painted, but the pigment used on this illustration has been dated to (roughly) 200 B.C.E. The thylacine is known to have been extinct in this area for over 2000 years. Kakadu National Park and Aboriginal Culture


November 28, 2008 Early morning at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge before the various snow geese and sandhill cranes take flight is a quiet time and then just before thousands of birds fly-out, the sounds get louder and louder. The refuge is the winter home for tens of thousands of birds of all sizes.

Can emerging technology defeat global warming? With more than $30 billion earmarked for “green energy,” President Obama’s stimulus package marks the first serious step by a U.S. administration to tackle the threat of global warming. But as the pace of innovation slackens in the crumbling economy and the public worries more about jobs than the future of the planet, is it all a case of too little, too late? NOVA focuses on the latest and greatest innovations that include everything from artificial trees to cleaner coal, nuclear energy and wildly ambitious — and risky — schemes to re-engineer the entire climate system. Can our technology, which helped create this problem, now solve it? View more information at NOVA:Power Surge.


NS 587-600 Lanarkshire Scotland Cathcart Castle is a 15th century stone tower house and courtyard fortress, founded by the Cathcarts. The family had held the estate from the 12th century and above White Cart Water on Court Hill, are the outline features of a possible encasing earth ringwork. Standing inside a small rectangular barmkin flanked by round angle towers, was a rectangular tower house with a first floor hall over a vaulted basement. Abandoned in 1740 when the roof was removed, by 1866 the tower still had its five storeys and was now surrounded by smaller buildings. By 1980 the castle was in a dangerous condition and the local council had it reduced to three low walls. Its remains are now hidden in a mass of trees and vegetation, at the top of a overhanging cliff in Linn Park. 5 miles west is Crookston Castle and 10 miles east at Uddingston is Bothwell Castle.

"To Have a Revolver". It's about a renegade slave in Virginia who helped the Union forces. Here are my takeaways... The notion of arming this black man, George Scott, goes well beyond his basic of need of being able to defend himself in battle. After all, by the time he is given arms he has already risked his life several times for the Union army. The subtext here is that giving this black man a gun makes him an equal. So what does that say about the right to keep and bare arms. Secondly, it should be noted that the Yankees armed this man reluctantly. There was no great rush to put him on equal footing, which should obliterate that holier-than-thou attitude I, as a Southerner, get from some people of the North. They didn't arm George Scott because they wanted to, they did it because they had to.

This beautiful image shows our magnetically hyperactive sun , ornamented with bright solar flares, arcs, and plasma streamers. The electrically charged plasma in the sun's outer layers creates turbulent bubbles the size of Texas, which generate local magnetic fields. These magnetic field structures are often outlined by glowing plasma, because charged particles flow along magnetic field lines. That's why bright filaments outline sunspots, which are regions where plasma is trapped by intense magnetic fields, and cools down. Where magnetic field lines cross, they can release tremendous bursts of energy known as solar flares and even larger blasts called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). A single CME can fling as much as 10 percent of the sun's corona (its outer atmosphere) into space at intense speeds.

Gundel: It turned out nicotine stuck to the walls. Not only that, nicotine would be sucked up into materials like wall board that we use commonly in this country and it would be really hard to get it out, but it would diffuse out along with other compounds in the smoke. Narrator: Gundel says exposure may also include inhaling dust that contains residues from thirdhand smoke. Gundel: Ordinary house dust that our vacuums pick up can pick up thirdhand smoke from the air. So, that means the people most at risk of exposure are children. They tend to have more surface contact indoors because they crawl around on carpets. Narrator: For Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.

|What is a game? Professor M. Mouse of Texas, America claims that the word game denotes | "the historical process by which the term game has been characterised and understood". Easy for you to say, Professor!! Those of us with a more down-home approach to codifying the various aspects of a nebulous and unbearable human condition prefer to go by a simpler definition, thus. A game is some combination of the following indivisable elements: - red key - score thing - magic door If you see something that looks like a videogame but isn't, you should notify the Police.

As our cities grew and our housing settlements changed, we began to separate the places where we live from the places where food is grown. The average North American food item now travels 1,500 kilometres to reach the grocery store shelves. The quest for a more sustainable way of living is taking aim at this separation of people and food with a commitment to urban agriculture. There are few places in North America where urban agriculture is exploding as fast as it is in the Vancouver area. The urban agricultural movement promises a new vision where people are living in harmony with the lands and ecosystems around them. Urban agriculture invites food production back into our communities through innovative planning and design. Source – Vancouver Sun – Urban agriculture exploding in Vancouver by Bob Ransford


Bad to the Core? Basically, a dual core processor is what the name implies: two physical processors and two memory caches on one piece of silicon. In theory, this will function like two separate processors. In order to take advantage of this, however, this real key is the software: the application must be able to send out multiple threads of data to each processor, similar in concept to the current Intel Hyperthreading. Very few applications (and no dental software) currently does this. However, dual core processors will show signicant improvements if you are running more than one application at a time, such as ripping a DVD and surfing the web at the same time. If you just run one program at a time, you won't see much benefit until software can take advantage of this. Expect to see these first processors in the next month or so.

FROM its humble origins as the small Bois de Sioux River along the South Dakota-Minnesota border, the Red River of the North grows wider and deeper until it eventually fans out into a delta at Manitoba’s Netley Marsh1 and flows into Lake Winnipeg. From A Gathering of WatersA fascinating article from the Winnipeg Free Press, I learned more than a thing or two about my old friend, the Red River. 1 - Netley Marsh is one of the largest waterfowl breeding grounds in North America, the permanent home of 18 varieties of duck as well as of geese, herons, pelicans, terns and various kinds of diver. In spring the population is swollen by thousands of migratory birds. [Planetware]


The image above shows a colorful lizard (Anolis bahorucoensis) from the Dominican Republic. This lizard species is part of a broader adaptive radiation of lizards across the Caribbean. UMass Amherst biologists Craig Albertson, Duncan Irschick, Elizabeth Dumont and colleagues have proposed a new investigative roadmap for the field of evolutionary developmental biology, or “evo devo,” to better understand how innovation at the genetic level can lead to ecological adaptations over time. The way an organism interacts with its environment directly affects its survival. Evo devo seeks to understand the specific genetic mechanisms driving evolutionary change. Learn more.

CoRoT-2a: A star with a planet in very close orbit around it, about 880 light years from Earth. Caption: This graphic contains an image (left) and illustration (right) of a nearby star, named CoRoT-2a, and an orbiting planet known as CoRoT-2b. The image contains X-rays from Chandra (purple) of CoRoT-2a along with optical and infrared data of the field of view in which it is found. CoRoT-2b, which is not seen in this image, orbits extremely closely to the star. In fact, the separation between the star and planet is only about 3 percent of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. The Chandra data indicate that the planet is being blasted by X-rays with such intensity that some 5 million tons of material are being eroded from the planet every second.

The Glacier tauntaun were a rangy species that inhabited Hoth's valleys and ice caves. It was largely unstudied by science. Smaller and less furry than its larger cousin, the common tauntaun, the glacier variety was identifiable by its high-pitched and humorous screech, as well as its shorter horns and longer muzzle. - The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide - The Official Star Wars Fact File 21 (HOT7-8, Hoth - Animals)


Did you know that the question mark is a stylised q on top of a very tiny o? It was monkish shorthand for questio, which they used to write at the end of a sentence to indicate it was a question. Oh, and the exclamation mark is a stylised io, which means "exclamation of joy" in Latin. This little critter didn't get a name until the 19th century, when it was taught as the 27th letter of the alphabet. The kiddies felt Awkward saying "w, x, y and and", so they said "w, x, y and, per se, and". Which turned into ampersand.


Afemai Children's Trust delivers drumming workshops to approximately 30 pupils per class, using a selection of djembe drums and small percussion instruments. The djembe drum is a skin-covered drum played with bare hands. According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes directly from the saying "Anke djé, anke bé" which translates to "everyone gather together in peace" and defines the drum's purpose. Our drumming workshop encourages leadership, listening skills and participation. This is a great instrument for children to express themselves in a positive way.

Occasionally, Avrom Gelman's mother was able to make challah on Shabes. He recalls that before she baked the challah, she would cut off a small piece and throw it in the oven. This tradition -- of separating a piece of dough from bread about to be baked -- is a Biblical commandment for Jewish women. In times of the Temple, the separated bread was consecrated for use by Kohanim (priests), but today it is just discarded or burned. Taking challah was not the only commandment Avrom's mother kept. She would also light the Sabbath candles every Friday night and say prayers over them. Avrom remembers what his mother would pray for: she would speak to G-d in Yiddish, asking for livelihood and health for her family.


The Fisheries Science Improvement Act will help ensure science is the primary driver of federal fisheries management decisions Take Action: Ask Congress to Make Federal Fisheries Management Decisions Based on Science The Fisheries Science Improvement Act (H.R. 2034), introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) on June 23, 2011, with the support of a bi-partisan group of 18 other Members of Congress, seeks to ensure that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) is required to set catch limits based on data, not on guesstimates. This legislation will guide federal fisheries management towards a more science-based approach and prevent NOAA Fisheries from setting arbitrary and overly-restrictive catch levels on numerous important recreational fisheries.


In 1948, two major plants called Donora, Pa., home, Donora Zinc Works and the American Steel and Wire Company. Some residents were uneasy about them even before that October, when toxic smog enshrouded the town for almost five days. Although haze was not uncommon to the area, this was different because of a temperature inversion that trapped the air in the valley. Before rain helped dispel the smog on Halloween, 20 people had died and as many as 7,000 more were sickened. Lawsuits were filed against the plants, but they never claimed responsibility. They did, however, pay out settlements to victims. The federal government didn’t really get involved with the incident, experts say. But the Donora Smog did help inspire the clean air movement, which eventually saw the passage of the Clean Air Act.


1085 Metendothenia atropunctana (Zetterstedt, 1839)Wingspan c. 15mm. The smallest of a group of rather similar moths, this species was formerly known as Hedya atropunctana but has recently been given a new generic name. It occurs mainly in the north of England and Scotland, with some records from further south. Freshly emerged adults have a noticeable pink tinge to the paler parts of the forewing, but this can fade in older specimens. The moths fly between May and June, or slightly later further north, and sometimes have a second generation in August in the south. Its favoured habitats are mosses and damp heaths where the foodplants, such as bog-myrtle ( Myrica gale) and willow (Salix) occur. The larva feeds in the terminal shoots of such plants, which it spins together.

Scientists have discovered that much of Greenland's ice sheet is melting at an unusually rapid pace: Scientists also reported that much of the ice is re-freezing, so they remain puzzled as to the reason for the unusual thaw. Link Scientists said the "unprecedented" melting took place over a larger area than has been detected in three decades of satellite observation. [...] The thawed ice area jumped from 40% of the ice sheet to 97% in just four days from 8 July. Although about half of Greenland's ice sheet normally sees surface melting over the summer months, the speed and scale of this year's thaw surprised scientists, who described the phenomenon as "extraordinary".

Title:TeabowlArtist:Artist UnknownDate:Edo periodCreation Place:Asia, JapanCredit Line:Gift of Charles L. FreerAccession Number:17.109 Raku ware teabowls were first created by Cho_jiro, a tile maker, under the direction of the great tea master Sen Rikyu_ (1520-1591). The light earthenware clay, thick black or red glaze, and hand-built forms combined to suggest the simplicity and rustic quality desired by Rikyu_. The earthenware body of the bowl also mitigated the temperature of the tea, making the bowl feel warm and comfortable in the hands. The slightly exaggerated surface treatment of this bowl, and the pictorial design of a fisherman trolling his boat, suggests that it was created later in the Edo period (1600-1868) when tea enthusiasts and potters began to venture beyond the conservative and somber aesthetic preferred by Rikyu_.

26 color plates, 114 halftones 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 The Settlements of Northwest Wales documents the long-term processes of social change and settlement practices in late prehistoric and early medieval Wales. It examines the settlement archaeology of northwest Wales, which encompasses the counties of Gwynedd, Anglesey, and west Conwy, and covers a period of two millennia, from 1150 BC to 1050 AD. The shifting dynamics underlying society reveal new information about the exploration of settlement and hillfort architectures, the distribution patterns of site-types, and the histories of particular places. Later chapters compare the findings with the evidence from other regions in Britain and Ireland to investigate the roles of settlement architectures in defining groups and articulating identities in general. A detailed and illustrated guide summarizing the fieldwork results is also provided.
