Welcome to the Cudahy School District blog. Read positive stories about the students and staff in the Cudahy School District. Stay on top of events and activities in the Cudahy schools. Learn about current school-related information. The third graders at Kosciuszko School learned about the large wave of immigration from Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. In addition to learning about where they came from and why, the students learned about the importance of immigrants and the cultural diversity they bring to our country. As a culminating activity, the students brought in a dish that represented their own family's cultural background. Dishes from Germany, Mexico, Peru, England, Poland, Ireland, and Czechoslovakia were present for the students to sample.


16.7 - 9.9 The harvest season begins when the willow herb starts to bloom. The berries are ripe and people head for the bogs to pick cloudberries and search forests for other berries. The days of summer, filled with light, begin to get shorter and grow dimmer. People hunt, fish and pick berries. The berries, meat and fish are preserved for winter.

Bloodletting was based on an ancient system of physiology called "humoral medicine." Originated by the Greeks, humoral medicine was based on the premise that the elements of the body reflected those of the natural world; those natural elements included air, water, earth, and fire. The Greeks believed that the interplay of those elements affected all the forces of the universe. The analogous bodily humors comprised phlegm, yellow bile, black bile, and blood. Greek physicians maintained that good health depended on maintaining a balance of the humors. In order to restore health, doctors would drain "excess" humors by purging the digestive tract or draining blood. The linguistic remnants of the system of humors are with us today, in the words "bilious" and "phlegmatic," for example. -- Douglas Starr Photo: Courtesy of the National Library of Medicine.


Q. On the galley proofs of my book, the computer divided the name Josephine Bellver as “Josephine Bel-lver” at the end of a line. It seems to me it should be “Josephine Bell-ver”, if it must be divided at all. What is your opinion? Q. Is it acceptable to divide the name of a state or city at the end of a line, as in a column of a three-column page, when not dividing the name would leave a lot of white on the line? Q. If I cannot avoid splitting the word biology at the end of a line, do I really split it between syllables as all the online dictionaries suggest, biol-ogy, and not according to its etymology, bio-logy? Q. I have read through sections 7.31–7.43 on word division, but still have a lingering question. Is it acceptable to split a word between pages? I always thought that it was not.


The stifling drought in the United States farm belt has cut likely corn production to the lowest level in six years, the US Department of Agriculture reported Friday. The department said the crucial crop, the world's largest, would be down 13 percent from 2011 at 10.8 billion bushels. The department also said the US soybean crop would be down 12 percent from last year. The department said the all-time record temperatures across the country in July left much of both crops damaged, sending yields per acre on corn to the lowest level since 1995, and for soybeans, the lowest since 2003. - Sapa-AFP

National Action Plan on Climate Change With the advent of the U.N. Climate Change Framework Convention in Copenhagen, a lot of attention has turned to the countries that use the most energy and cause the most pollution. Earlier this year India announced that it was planning to embark on an incredible mission to install over 20,000 megawatts of solar power by 2022. Today, India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy announced the details behind the ambiotious plan.

If you want a good definition of edge you can review books on "Graph Theory". In fact, the use of edge in networks comes from there. Hence, the definition of "edge" is not more than the connecting line between "nodes" (vertices of the graph). End-to-End connections can be hold nodes using multiple "edges". A graph edge and a network edge are two different things! But if you prefer "edges" to "links" than you should use "vertices" instead of "nodes" (see your last sentence). The term "network edge" comes from the dictionary and has nothing to do with graph theory.


AUSTRALIA ROCK ART COULD BE 40,000 BP A painting of two extinct birds found in northern Australia is believed to be one of the oldest pieces of rock art ever discovered. Scientists believe the image found on a remote plateau in the Northern Territory could be up to 40,000 years old. The painting shows two giant birds that resemble a genyornis, an ancient flightless creature that is believed to have become extinct in Australia more than 40,000 years ago. If it was painted at a time when this mega fauna was still alive, as some experts believe, then it would be among the oldest pieces of rock art ever found.

Aluminium Negative Effect The most notorious by-products of aluminium production are caustic red mud and red sand. Over 15 million tonnes (dry base) are generated each year in Australia and over 200 million tonnes are presently stockpiled. Aluminium smelting is the source of fully fluorinated compounds (FFCs) which are much more powerful greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide and have extremely long half-lives. Fortunately, controls over these compounds are improving but they continue to be a cause of environmental concern for governments and the aluminium industry.


Mauna Kea Summit Ridge The ridge near the summit, only about 10 feet lower than the summit, was the first area on which telescopes were built on Mauna Kea. The UH 2.2-meter telescope (center) was the first large telescope on Mauna Kea. The Gemini northern 8-meter telescope is the largest and newest telescope in this area (open silver dome).


In the first task of LS4 the student has to develop a meaning representation of the sentence "The collector possesses a sculpture made of white marble." (German: "Der Kunstsammler besitzt eine Skulptur aus weißem Marmor.") For this purpose he has to use MWR. This tool allows the student to draw the graphical representation of a semantic network with a few mouse clicks. Once the student is finished, he can make MWR analyze his solution and check it against a model solution. MWR will point to inconsistent parts in the student's network and suggest corrections. Then the student can try to solve the task again. This cycle is finished when the representation (i.e. the solution) is correct.

Plain-text authentication assumes that the user name and password are submitted to the server in clear text. The server validates the password against its user database to determine whether the password is correct. Since the password is sent in clear text, any intermediate router on the Internet can potentially see it. Therefore, this authentication method is only considered secure when using an encrypted connection. To use the plain-text authentication with the Zenfolio API, invoke the AuthenticatePlain method and pass it the user name and password. If the provided password matches the user name, the return value is the authentication token. Note: this method only works over an HTTPS connection.


Manhattan has been steadily sinking since the end of the last ice age. During the ice age, the weight of glaciers in Canada depressed the mantle, forcing the mantle to bulge around the edges of the ice sheet. (Think of poking your finger into the side of a water balloon.) When the glaciers melted, the mantle stress relaxed , and the northeastern US began to sink. (Think of removing your finger from the water balloon.) Tide gauges show a steady 4mm/year of sinking around Manhattan and New Jersey, over the last 150 years. Central Park is 40 metres above sea level, and will be underwater in 10,000 years – unless we have another ice age, in which case it may be buried in ice. Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with CO2 or fossil fuel – and there is nothing we can do about it. Q. What kind of morons would worry about things 10,000 years in the future? A.

Q: A spinner can land in any of four positions, A, B, C, and D, with equal probability. The spinner is used twice, and the position is noted each time. Let the random variable Y denote the number of positions on which the spinner did not land. Computer the probabilities for each value of Y. I do not think that I am understanding the question, because I figure this one out. Am I looking at ordered pair, since the spinner is spun twice and then noted?


This high school lesson explores basic weaving techniques through the abstraction of realistic landscape images. Students first learn about African kente cloth, Peruvian weavings, and Navajo weavings before creating their own unique project. They then use a landscape image and manipulate both the shapes and colors into an abstracted image weaving. In this lesson, high school students create woven coil sculptures. They first discuss the use of containers and sculptures in society, and then look at the same uses in Ancient Greek sculpture and present day Zulu baskets. Students are encouraged to create a unique sculpture that explores the woven coil technique.

eclipse was a special kind called an "annular eclipse." During an annular eclipse, the moon passes directly in front of the sun, but doesn't completely cover it because the moon's disk appears smaller than the disk of the sun. The annular phase of an eclipse can only be seen from a very narrow track called the path of annularity. Although the annular path for this eclipse was nearly 14,000 kilometers long, it was only 13 to 78 kilometers wide. The shadow's path began in Indonesia, traversed the Pacific Ocean, crossed Guam, and reached totality 2600 miles northwest of the Hawaiian Islands. Totality was brief, a mere 26 seconds. The shadow continued past the southern tip of Baja, California, and ended 30 kilometers south of Puerto Vallarta,


Human parents can get into a huge lather about keeping their kids safe. So why should some species of frog be any different? Male Tungara frogs (Engystomops pustulous) will huff and puff and literally kick up a huge clump of foam that serves as a nest to shelter his mate’s eggs. The floating foam nests sound flimsy, but they’re actually incredibly durable–surviving the sun, high temperatures, infections, and parasites for four whole days until the eggs housed inside mature into tadpoles. While scientists already knew of these foam nests, they didn’t know quite how the frogs made them. Now research (pdf) published in the Royal Society’s journal Biology Letters provides some answers. New footage filmed of an amorous pair of Tungara frogs foaming up a nest in the West Indies shows a carefully calibrated approach to nest-building that’s part yoga, part physics.


“went missing/gone missing”? The first time I heard the phrase “went missing” was a few years while watching a national news broadcast. The new reporter interviewed a midwestern sheriff about the case of a missing girl. He said she “went missing eight days ago”. I assumed it was a colloquialism (and very poor grammar). Now I hear it and read it quite frequently. Where did this strange expression come from? How can someone “go” missing? Shouldn’t it be “disappeared”? Or perhaps, “has been missing”?


The edible dormouse or fat dormouse (Glis glis) is a small dormouse and the only species in the genus Glis. It was farmed and eaten by the ancient Romans, from which it gains its name. The dormice were kept and raised either in large pits or containers. The containers were not completely unlike contemporary hamster cages. The dormice would finally be cooked and eaten, usually as a snack. Wild edible dormice are consumed in Slovenia, where they are considered a rare delicacy. The edible dormouse lives in continental Europe and has been introduced to the Chilterns of England. In England, the edible dormouse population is concentrated in a 200-square-mile range.

Beginning writers can use just one or two elements as a story starter. More advanced writers can select a page from each of the sections to create combinations that are sure to capture their imaginations and get their pencils moving! There are 25 different ideas within each section (setting- character- plot) waiting to be mixed and matched in a story yet to be written!


Edward Fitzgerald's translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, is a mystical, highly symbolic poem that deals with man's relation to God, the nature of the divine, the fleeting nature of life, and a host of other issues important to the contemplative mind. The poem, by the Persian poet, astronomer and mathematician Omar Khayyam, is a distillation and translation of the over 1000 quatrains originally rendered in Farsi. In this program, the haunting, melancholy musings of the Persian philosopher-poet are brought to life in vivid detail by voice artist Bob McGraw. Accompanied by color illustrations by Edmund Dulac and the artist-photographer team of Blanche Cumming and Adelaide Hanscom, together with haunting melodies inspired by the cultures of the Arabian peninsula, this program brings the classic poem into vivid focus. Grades 8-12. 22 minutes on DVD. Customer Questions & Answers:


“As it gets colder, people start using things that increase the likelihood of getting a fire started,” said Michelle Eidam, of Sacramento Metro Fire. Things like space heaters, overused power chords, and Christmas lights are prone to causing fires. Within the past month, the department has responded to three fires, believed to be electrically started. “Sometimes you put extension chord in to extension chord, they’re not designed to be able to withstand that type of electrical current going through them,” Eidam said. Sac Metro Fire is advising people to make sure space heaters are not left within three feet of anything. Finally, the department urges you to make sure your smoke detectors are checked and ready to alert you, if need be. For more information on how to hang Christmas lights safely, click here.

Winter Air Quality Under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977, Yellowstone is one of 156 national parks and wilderness areas that are designated Class I airsheds, requiring the most stringent protection. Although park visitation is far lower in winter than in summer, oversnow vehicles (OSVs) produce more emissions. Carbon monoxide and particulate matter are monitored at the West Entrance and at Old Faithful, where OSVs are most concentrated. The levels of these pollutants have declined since 2002 because of fewer snowmobiles in the park and because they are required to have “Best Available Technology” (BAT) and be accompanied by a licensed guide.


Yakshas (male nature spirits) are personifications of the natural world. Over time they were worshipped as minor gods in both the Buddhist and Hindu pantheons, often functioning as protectors of the earth’s riches, and they became associated with wealth. This potbellied dwarf once raised his arms to support a bowl on his head, which identifies him as a “carrier,” or bharavahaka yaksha. The closest stylistic parallels to this form are seen on pillar capitals at the great early Buddhist stupa (a moundlike structure designed to hold objects of veneration) of Sanchi, near Bhopal. In all probability this yaksha served as an attendant at a stupa’s entrance, its bowl used to receive devotees’ donations.

Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, often developing after an open fracture in which the bone pokes through the skin. It may also develop after an illness or injury that damaged the skin near or over a bone. Symptoms may include: Antibiotic treatment is necessary to prevent destruction of bone tissue. If the osteomyelitis is severe, surgery may be required.


Word Origin & History c.1300, "space, area, extent," from O.Fr. compas, from compasser "to go around, measure, divide equally," from V.L. *compassare "to pace out," from L. com- "together" + passus "a step." The mathematical instrument so called from late 14c. The mariners' directional tool (so called since early 15c.) took the name, perhaps, because it's round and has a point like the mathematical instrument. The word is in most European languages, with a mathematical sense in Romance, a nautical sense in Germanic, and both in English.

The Geographical Distribution of Dyers Woad over Time and Space in Logan Canyon, Utah Jenna Forsyth and Cassey Anderson Geographic focus: USA / Logan Canyon, Utah Date completed: 2002 Exotic invasive species represent a major threat to sustainable development worldwide. Dyers woad, an exotic plant brought to the United States hundreds of years ago, has significantly altered the natural vegetation community in northern Utah, displacing native grasses. Students from Logan High School in Utah used GPS units to map the distribution of dyer’s woad at two sites in 2002 and compared their data to data collected in 1988. To found that the plant had spread considerably, particularly in burnt areas. To combat the problem, the students recommend introducing a species of fungus as a biocontrol agent.

O. Korschelt (1853－1940) was the author of the first extensive treatise on Go in a European language (German) entitled Das Japanisch-Chinesische Spiel 'Go' published in 1880. This books has been translated into English and published as The Theory & Practice of Go. There is disagreement as to whether Korschelt's first name was Oscar or Otto. Note: the author's name on the book says "Oscar Korschelt". Korschelt taught the game to Edward Lasker in 1907. Jared Beck: Yeah! That german page is really cool. I was working through this game from my copy of the book when I found this site. It's so nice to have sgf files when studying a game. I recommend the historical games on this site, especialy that game, because of the abundance of easy-to-learn-from moves.


Vulgarity: offensive language of a scatological nature or pertaining to the body in non-sexual context. If a farmer uses it, he is likely to be doing so literally. Obscenity: offensive language of a sexual nature. Profanity: offensive language of a religious nature. Considered blasphemy by religious adherents. Words sometimes considered profane may be used literally by religious adherents in religious context. Some words considered offensive may be applied to fit more than one category, but context normally indicates into which category a particular usage fits. Please note, if a mother describes frankly what she had to get out of the carpet after some clever child escaped his diaper, she has not used profanity or obscenity. (Mothers are basically farmers.)


The mission of the Texas Poison Control Program is to reduce the morbidity, mortality, and costs associated with poisonings. This goal is accomplished by: - Providing around the clock telephone access to poison control specialists. - Educating Texas residents and children on how to prevent poisonings. The Poison Control Program was created in 1993 by Texas Senate Bill 773, which was a cooperative effort among the six Texas Regional Poison Centers, The Texas Department of Health (TDH now DSHS) and the Commission on State Emergency Communications (CSEC). In 2009, the 81st Legislature passed House Bill 1093 which transferred all responsibilities of administration of the program to the CSEC as of May 1, 2010.


The Micro'be' project by contemporary textile artist and lecturer Donna Franklin, and scientist Gary Cass, explores fashion and technology's newest frontier: garments made from the bacterial fermentation of wine and beer. The project's eureka moment came about through a vat of Australian red wine that had become contaminated with microbes and, essentially, spoiled. "At my friend's winery, in Western Australia, I noticed a skin-like layer on the surface of the wine in the vat; it was micro-fibre cellulose - chemically similar to cotton. Assuming that the skin-like material was microbial cotton and cotton is used for clothing, [we thought] we could easily start producing garments from it!" Cass exclaims.

NOW THAT'S FUNNY We were promised cicadas. Swarms of noisy, mating bugs were going to emerge from the ground as soon as the soil became warm enough. The soil did its part â€“ we had that heat wave â€“ but the cicadas have not appeared. So where are they? There are several explanations for the no-show. As reported on Yahoo and Livescience.com, the millions of bugs tend to stay close to where they emerge. If your particular county doesnâ€™t have cicadas in the ground, you probably wonâ€™t see any, because they donâ€™t come flying over from other counties. Another explanation is that their food source was lost: they feed off the roots of trees for all the years they live below soil. If those trees have been cut down or died, they nymphs will starve. Other reasons for the absent cicadas:

|Page 1 | Page 2|| Return to Experiments Table of Contents You know what to do now. That’s right — fill your glass with water at room temperature, tape it into the box, place your thermometer into the water, and put the whole works into your refrigerator. Read the thermometer every three minutes or so, and note how quickly the temperature drops. OK, let’s add “storm windows.” Tape (again with cellophane tape) four more pieces of plastic wrap over the box openings. . . this time from the outside of the box. It is important that both inside and outside “windows” be taut so that there is a uniform, thin layer of air trapped between them. Now, repeat the experiment. You will find that the water temperature drops slightly less quickly. The difference is small (although noticeable) because our imitation storm windows don’t work as well as the real thing.

Are you a healthy weight? One way to know for sure if to measure your body mass index (BMI). Your BMI reveals whether you’re overweight or underweight. Being either overweight or underweight can put your health at risk. Using data from over 1.5 million people in over 19 studies, an National Institutes of Health (NIH) study pinpointed the ideal BMI range at which your risk of death from any cause is lowest. via NIH: A study looking at deaths from any cause found that a body mass index (BMI) between 20.0 and 24.9 is associated with the lowest risk of death in healthy non-smoking adults. Are you within this healthy range? Calculate your BMI now.


To turn desert and wastelands into fertile lands is one of man's oldest dreams. In the slums of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian BioEconomy Association (BEA) with support from Biovision, realised the BioFarm-Project: 5 hectares of land made infertile through erosion was turned into a productive agro-forestry venture with vegetable production and animal husbandry by working together with groups of beneficiaries. It took around 5 years to restore the habitat. The project is a success and should be emulated as a model for further initiatives. In order to provide inexpensive means for improvement the training methods have a scientific accompaniment and are further developed. Experiences are appraised and should serve further habitat restoration initiatives.


In number theory a Carmichael number is a composite positive integer , which satisfies the congruence for all integers which are relatively prime to . Being relatively prime means that they do not have common divisors, other than 1. Such numbers are named after Robert Carmichael. All prime numbers satisfy for all integers which are relatively prime to . This has been proven by the famous mathematician Pierre de Fermat. In most cases if a number is composite, it does not satisfy this congruence equation. So, there exist not so many Carmichael numbers. We can say that Carmichael numbers are composite numbers that behave a little bit like they would be a prime number.


U.D.T. troops were specially trained combat swimmers who could perform tasks like breaching cables and planting limpet mines on enemy boats. Many methods used to train these "Frogmen" are now used to train today's U.S Navy SEALs! Named after Florida's Pine Island Sound, WWII's U.S.S. Pine Island was a Currituck-class seaplane tender for the U.S. Navy. Like most seaplane tenders, the U.S.S. Pine Island served as a mobile repair base for large naval seaplanes.

Students at Wausau West got a crash course on the dangers of driving and texting. Knowing teens, West and an organization called Peer Awareness brings kids a first hand look at the dangers of texting and driving. With the “It Can Wait” campaign, students took a ride in the aware text simulator, a simulator that creates a real environment while learning outside of class. Maureen Pilsner, officer with the Wausau Police Department said, “It’s a fun way to have class. A lot of kids don’t understand how hard it is to drive and text at the same time. We’re giving them an opportunity to see what happens.” In seconds, teens lost control of their vehicle while texting, showing that distracted driving can have fatal impacts… The nation wide campaign travels throughout the country, giving kids the opportunity to understand the effects of texting and driving.

A mosquito found in Upper Saucon Township has tested positive for West Nile Virus, according to a June 19 report from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. DEP and county West Nile Virus staff respond to these reports with additional mosquito surveillance and control, according to a DEP news release. West Nile Virus, which is carried by mosquitoes, can cause encephalitis --inflammation of the brain. West Nile was first found in North America in 1999 in New York and in Pennsylvania in 2000, DEP reported. Mosquitoes can pass on the disease to birds and other animals, as well as people. A mild case of West Nile can manifest itself with flu-like symptons with a fever lasting a few days. The most serious cases cause West Nile encephalitis, West Nile meningitis or West Nile meningoencephalitis.

A shunt is a tube that drains the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles in the brain to another space in the body, which reabsorbs the fluid. Most often the abdominal cavity (the space around the stomach and intestines) is used. The shunt's small, soft tubing is placed, or tunneled, under the skin, and the end of the tubing is placed in the abdominal space. This is done in the operating room. A valve is attached to the shunt tubing. It controls the direction the cerebrospinal fluid flows and keeps a normal amount of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles. The valve adjusts the amount of cerebrospinal fluid that flows from the ventricles and prevents the ventricles from over-draining, which is called over-shunting.

A small fraction of women carry a gene that prevents them from producing under-arm body odour — yet most still wear deodorant. A study, based on 6,000 women, showed that about 2 per cent had a gene variant that meant that although they perspire during exercise, they do not sweat from the glands in the armpit, which causes body odour. Despite not needing it, 78 per cent of those with the gene still used deodorant. Professor Ian Day, of the University of Bristol, who led the study published today in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, said: “One quarter of these individuals


Why do some people let troubles roll off their shoulders, while others dwell on each problem? New imaging, genetic, and biochemical research is helping provide the answer. Researchers are examining mood and emotion with scientific rigor, which could one day lead to greater understanding of the biology of anger, happiness, and love. Recent studies explore how aggressive animals differ from docile ones and how animals that mate for life differ from those that seek multiple mates. In people, imaging studies are identifying the brain regions associated with laughter, love, and aggression. Ongoing studies could shed light on disorders that affect mood, including psychiatric conditions such as depression, euphoria, and bipolar disorder.

PEP Review 88-1-1 Hydrogen Sulfide Removal/Unisulf Process Published: January 1989 Unocal's Unisulf process uses a regenerable, alkaline, aqueous washing solution to desulfurize a hydrogen sulfide-containing gas stream. Hydrogen sulfide is absorbed by the solution and converted to sulfur, and the sulfur is recovered from the solution after the solution is oxidatively regenerated downstream for recycle. The solution is formulated with a vanadate, a salt of anthraquinone disulfonic acid, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and additives such as sodium citrate, sodium thiocyanate, and a salt of phenol sulfonic acid. These additives eliminate or minimize the chemical consumption of the disulfonic acid and the conversion of hydrogen sulfide and the product sulfur to sulfates, thiosulfates and polythionates.


Question: How many Supreme Court Justices Are There? Answer: Currently, there are nine Supreme Court justices on the United States Supreme Court. The number of justices is set by Congress and has varied from five to 10. There have been nine justices since 1869. In 1937, Franklin Roosevelt attempted to add six more justices to the Supreme Court. He felt the court was obstructing much of his New Deal policies and adding more members who would agree with his views would help. This was termed the "Court Packing Plan." However, Congress did not agree and the number remained at nine.


Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed Cody, a robotic nurse the university says is “gentle enough to bathe elderly patients.” There is also HERB, which is short for Home Exploring Robot Butler. Made by researchers at Carnegie Mellon, it is designed to fetch household objects like cups and can even clean a kitchen. Hector, a robot that is being developed by the University of Reading in England, can remind patients to take their medicine, keep track of their eyeglasses and assist in the event of a fall. The technology is nearly there. But some researchers worry that we are not asking a fundamental question: Should we entrust the care of people in their 70s and older to artificial assistants rather than doing it ourselves? (NYT)


Help with this proof. Not exactly sure where to start. The statement is: "For each real number p, there exist real numbers q and r such that qsin(r/5) = p." We have to either prove this statement or give a counter-example. I've been talking with others in my class and it seems like the first thing we need to do is say: "Let p be a real number. Put r = (5/2)(pi)." And then I plugged this in for r in the equation, getting q = p. Is this correct? If not, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help :)


State history project I am working on an idea for an inquiry project into the event or time period that had the most impact on our state. State history has been my students' least favorite topic for two years running. I need ideas for a big question to guide my planning.

Colour Block Prints H. Hesketh Hubbard [Baren] Editor's Introduction Topics covered in this 'lecture': - Survey of the history of colour printmaking, in both the west and the east. - Anybody with an interest in the field. The historical sections of this lecture (the first two sections) present a concise overview of the topic, and will provide the reader with a good mental image of the history of colour printmaking. The third section deals specifically with Mr. Hubbard's thoughts on why colour block printmaking was not doing so well in his day (Britain between the wars). This editor feels that many of his points remain valid today.

The Snowy Mountains Scheme, 1949To Economy The Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme was devised in 1949 to harness energy created through capturing and diverting the melting snow of the mountains to the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers to service farms in western New South Wales and inland Victoria. It employed a staggering 100 000 workers comprised of almost 30 different nationalities, many of whom were European refugees escaping the aftermath of World War II. This staggeringly ambitious work was in 1969 noted as one of 7 engineering marvels of the world and today produces 10% of all electricity in New South Wales. It was a landmark enterprise in New South Wales history as it firmed the State's reputation in Australia's post war climate as resourceful and enterprising.

Azazel is the word translated as "scapegoat" in the King James Version of the Bible (Leviticus chapter 16). In 1611 King James' translators borrowed the word scapegoat from William Tyndale's translation from around 1530. Tyndale had translated azazel (the name of the cliff the goat was pushed over, or more likely the demon it was sent out to in the desert) as ez ozel - literally, "the goat that departs"; hence "the goat that escapes," or, for short, "(e)scape goat." Since this goat, with the sins of the people placed on it, is then sent over a cliff or driven into the wilderness to perish, the word "scapegoat" has come to mean a person, often innocent, who is blamed and punished for the sins, crimes or sufferings of others. Although, The Urban Dictionary defines "Escape Goat" as, "A slang used by idiots who do not realize the term is scapegoat"


Science and Faith Video provided by: Focus For many people today, whether they’re atheists or religious believers, science is locked in conflict with faith, and believing in the Big Bang contradicts the idea that God created the Universe.

The aims of this Workshop are to: A group discussion regarding minibeast habitats and woodland wildlife, followed by a woodland walk. This will include minibeast collection, using a variety of collecting techniques. Minibeasts are literally ‘small animals’, which includes spiders, snails, slugs, beetles, centipedes and worms (to name a few). They are all classified as invertebrates (animals without backbones). There are 25,000 species in Britain alone. Trees are habitats in their own right and can provide homes for hundreds of species. Not only do trees provide an ideal habitat, they are also vital to sustain life on earth. Minibeasts are a huge part of woodland life and are a vital contributor to both the food chain and to the balance of woodland ecosystems.

As you can see about 9 days during February the panels generated over half of our electricity. On 2/25 the panels generated roughly all the electricity we used. As we move towards June 21 when the Sun is the highest angle we'll have more and more days like 2/25 Over the whole month the solar panels generated roughly 44% of our electricity. The reason there is so much variability from day to day in power output is due to the variation in cloud cover. The other factor that influences power output is how high the Sun is above the Southern horizon. In the summer months there will be more and more days where our solar array will generate all of our power (21 kWhrs) each day.


Atherosclerosis is a medical condition in which fatty materials - such as cholesterol - build up along the walls of arteries. Over time, these build ups lead to the thickening and hardening of the arteries, calcifying them, resulting in blockage of the artery. The built-up of these plaques can eventually lead to heart failure as blood vessels are no longer able to carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart and other parts of the body. Benjamin Sisko's father, Joseph Sisko, suffered from progressive atherosclerosis. He had an artificial aorta as a result but despite the urgings of his son and doctors, refused to better take care of himself and even refused to undergo vascular regeneration therapy. In 2372 he eventually suffered a minor stroke brought on by his atherosclerosis. (DS9: "Homefront")


Suffocation or Asphyxia is caused by creating a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body. An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs. (See Suicide bag) Choking Game An unfortunate practice that results in many accidental suicides. (See Fainting game)


Black Tea May Cut Risk of Parkinsonís Disease As reported on Foodconsumer.org Friday February 22, 2008, a study conducted at the National Neuroscience Institute in Singapore reported that drinking at least 23 cups of black tea a month may slash the risk of Parkinson's disease by 71%. Study participants, 63,257 Chinese men and women in Singapore, were surveyed about their tea drinking habits when entering the study. Diet and caffeine was ruled out as having no impact on the results and researchers reported, "Ingredients in black tea other than caffeine appear to be responsible for the beverage's inverse association with Parkinson's disease." The results, published in the December 2007 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology, recorded 57 incidents of Parkinson's disease between 1993 and 2005, suggesting that drinking black tea may cut the risk of Parkinson's disease.


Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry The blanket octopus (Tremoctopus violaceus) is a rarely encountered pelagic species that spends its entire life cycle in the open ocean (Norman et al. 2002). Until the first observation of a living male off the northern Great Barrier Reef, Australia (Norman et al. 2002), males were known only from dead individuals picked up in trawls and plankton nets. Like other pelagic octopus species, T. violaceus exhibits sexual size dimorphism. The degree of sexual size dimorphism in this species, however, is extraordinary: Females may reach 2 m in length whereas the reproductively mature male collected by Norman et al. was just 2.4 cm long. Individual weights of males and females differ by a factor of at least 10,000 (Norman et al. 2002). Additional information and images are available on the Tremoctopus genus page.


The glockenspiel is a type of percussion instrument. It is in the same category of musical instruments as the xylophone and timpani. A Glockenspiel usually has a range of two and a half octaves. It is set up in a keyboard format, similar to the xylophone. Unlike the wooden xylophone, the glockenspiel is a metallophone. It is made of metal. The glockenspiel is played by hitting it with mallets with a plastic or felt tip. It has a soft sound, but it is very high pitch. If it is hit too hard, it makes a very bad sound. It is often used to represent things such as fairies, birds, and butterflies. The glockenspiel is from Germany.


The Greenland Ice Sheet reacts on the warming that Greenland has been subject to the last 10 years. The melt has increased and the glacier fronts have retreated. The melt has both global and local impact. Globally the increased melt results in sea level rise, change of the ocean currents and the atmospheric circulation over Greenland. Locally the position of the glacier front and the fresh water production is vital for fishery and transport. There are big gaps in our knowledge on the amount of freshwater produced each year and on how and where the water melts. The project will investigate these processes with focus on the Nuuk area.


February 7, 2011 Al Jazeera Helps to Break Silence Wadah Khanfar, The Guardian It is almost a century since the state borders that today divide the Middle East were drawn up. The shape of the region was negotiated behind closed doors and imposed by colonial powers without consulting its people. The impact of those deals still haunts the region and, many would argue, plays a central role in its instability. Some of the states that emerged from the carve-up later championed independence and social development, while others adopted a conservative stance. But almost without exception they maintained a monopoly on information and communication, underpinned by control and censorship of the media. For many years dissent, criticism or even limited exposure of what was going on behind closed doors was crushed with the argument that "it is not the right... TAGGED: Egypt, Al Jazeera


We often hear people adopt an approach of “colorblindness” and try to minimize or ignore “racial” differences. “I don’t even see color. We’re all just human and I treat everybody the same.” This month, we’ll explore this approach of ignoring race. Is it possible to truly be “colorblind?” How has this played out historically in the U.S., and how does “colorblindness” currently affect systems of education, employment, criminal justice? Could it possibly do more harm than good? We invite community members to share their thoughts through a facilitated conversation. Please bring teens, a friend, your voice, and an open mind. Refreshments will be served. RSVPs are not required, but appreciated. RSVP to email@example.com The Understanding Race Project’s Community Conversations are made possible by support from the National Center for Institutional Diversity.

The poem is about a freezing-cold winter trip in the Yukon, back in the days of the Klondike Gold Rush. The poem’s speaker tells us a story about his friend, Sam McGee, who freezes to death on the trail. Sam hates the cold and doesn’t want to be buried in the frozen ground. So, as his dying wish, he asks our speaker to cremate him (which is a fancy way of saying "burn his corpse"). The speaker promises he will, but it’s tough to find a way to do it in the dead of winter. He ends up having a lousy trip, carrying Sam’s frozen corpse until he finds a spot to burn Sam’s body. He starts to burn Sam, but is pretty grossed out by the whole thing. Then, when he goes to see if Sam is "cooked," he finds his friend alive and well and cozy! Apparently Sam just needed to defrost a little, and the raging fire did the trick.


A Novel Method for Determining Cellular Access in Mobile Communications The paper presents a new cellular architecture for radio access, CDPA that can be applied to present and future cellular systems, independently of the cell size. It poses as an appealing alternative to systems based on classical bandwidth subdivision methods, namely TDMA, FDMA or CDMA. In these systems, parallelism of communications is achieved by subdividing the band width "A priori" among cells. In CDPA no bandwidth sub division is operated. All cells and terminals use a single frequency channel and transmit packets on a slotted channel. Parallel transmission in different cells is achieved through the "Capture" capability.


LandfallThe intersection of the surface center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline. Because the strongest winds in a tropical cyclone are not located precisely at the center, it is possible for a cyclone's strongest winds to be experienced over land even if landfall does not occur. Similarly, it is possible for a tropical cyclone to make landfall and have its strongest winds remain over the water.

( a script ) |Type of script:||Abugida| |Created by:||Shaykh Bakri Sapalo| |Period of use:||1956 - ?| The Oromo script is an independent invention based on the model of the Amharic script. Its inspiration seems to be the difficulty of writing Oromo with scripts designed for other languages, as well as nationalistic aspirations. The writing of Oromo was banned by Ethiopian authorities until the accession of Mengistu's regime in 1974. Today Oromo is written in the Latin script. Languages written with this script:

Gene and Finny are two boys who are best friends living in 1943, at the height of World War II. The idea that the boys will most likely be drafted when they turn eighteen is surrounding them, and they are practically forced to live their lives to the fullest. The two boys attend the Devon School, which prepares them for military life that they will most likely be subjected to. The film begins with a narration by an older Gene, traveling back to Devon some years later. The thing he wishes most to see is the tree, which had a great effect on the boys' lives.

- corduroy (n.) - 1780, probably from cord + obsolete 17c. duroy, name of a coarse fabric made in England, of unknown origin. Folk etymology is from *corde du roi "the king's cord," but this is not attested in French, where the term for the cloth was velours à côtes. Applied in U.S. to a road of logs across swampy ground (1780s) on similarity of appearance. CORDUROY ROAD. A road or causeway constructed with logs laid together over swamps or marshy places. When properly finished earth is thrown between them by which the road is made smooth; but in newly settled parts of the United States they are often left uncovered, and hence are extremely rough and bad to pass over with a carriage. Sometimes they extend many miles. They derive their name from their resemblance to a species of ribbed velvet, called corduroy. [Bartlett]


You've probably heard by now, but just in case, yesterday, the USDA recalled 143 million pounds of frozen beef. Yes, millions. The largest beef recall in the US is occurring because Southern California based slaughterhouse Westland/Hallmark — the one that was recently shut down because of sick and mistreated animals — did not receive complete and proper inspections. Due to that fact, the Food Safety and Inspection Service has stated that the meat is unfit for human consumption. The meat was sent to many federal school lunch programs, as well as several large fast-food chains. They estimate that 37 million pounds have already been consumed, and that no reported illnesses have occurred. The recall is more of a precaution since sick animals pose a higher risk of contamination.


The Miura fold (ミウラ折り Miura-ori) is a rigid fold that has been used to simulate large solar panel arrays for space satellites in the Japanese 1995 Space Flight Unit. It was invented by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura. It is an example of the practical importance of rigid origami, or treating hinges and rigid surfaces like the paper and creases in paper folding problems. A folded Miura fold can be packed into a very compact area, its thickness restricted only by the thickness of the folded material. The fold can also be unpacked in just one motion by pulling on opposite ends of the folded material, and likewise folded again by pushing the two ends back together. This was beneficial to the aforementioned solar array as it reduced the number of motors required to unfold it, reducing the overall weight and complexity of the mechanism.

Post independence, India's leaders, particularly Abul Kalam Azad, advocated an education policy that would be liberal and humanitarian, and set the nation on the path of progress and prosperity. This path was neither a full continuation of the colonial modern nor a restoration of the feudal-traditional. Drawing on progressive ideas from India's "renaissance" and freedom struggle within the Indian "renaissance" and nationalism, this education policy was meant to unleash the potential of India's civilisation by a process of intellectual decolonisation. Unfortunately, in the past few decades, this unfi nished agenda has been dumped by successive governments. It has been replaced by an educational policy which prioritises private profi t over public good and will encourage cultural and intellectual imperialism.


Ashkenazi Jewish genetic panel (AJGP) is a blood test that checks to see if a person is a carrier of a genetic disease that occurs more often in people of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish heritage. These diseases do not just affect people of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage but are more common in this group of people. Other racial and ethnic groups have genetic diseases that are more common in their groups. AJGP test tells parents if they have an increased chance of having a child with certain genetic diseases. Anyone who is interested in knowing his or her carrier status can ask for the test, but a doctor must order the test. Different labs may have different tests in the panel. Talk to your doctor about which diseases are important for your family. Genetic counseling can help you understand the test and possible results so you can make the best decision for you.

The scale of information of the Internet is growing at an incomprehensible rate. Similar to the mystifying size of planets and stars. If one byte, the unit of data with which we program everything online (a byte is the unit most computers use to represent a character such as a letter or number), is equal to the largest bacteria on earth (0.5 mm), what would be the length of the Internet? How big are emails, software, applications, hard drives and HD videos? This infographic will help you translate the amount of data on the Internet into relative size comparisons.

At any rate, we have no concrete evidence of Bartholomew's ministry or whereabouts in the years that followed Jesus' resurrection. Some traditions suggest he went to what is now India and established churches there. But some early Church historians, including Eusebius, record that he went to Armenia, and was there martyred. It is said that he was skinned alive, then beheaded. Michelangelo immortalized that tradition in his work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, where Bartholomew is depicted holding his skin. The face of the saint is generally believed to be a self-portrait of the artist.


Natural gas comprises gases, occurring in underground deposits, whether liquefied or gaseous, consisting mainly of methane. It includes both "non-associated" gas originating from fields producing only hydrocarbons in gaseous form, and "associated" gas produced in association with crude oil as well as methane recovered from coal mines (colliery gas) or from coal seams (coal seam gas). Production represents dry marketable production within national boundaries, including offshore production and is measured after purification and extraction of NGL and sulphur. It includes gas consumed by gas processing plants and gas transported by pipeline. Quantities of gas that are re-injected, vented or flared are excluded.


A wave of plasma stoked by an X-class solar flare, the most intense type, is headed towards Earth. This blast of charged particles, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), is forecast to ignite a geomagnetic storm on Earth over the weekend. NOAA predicts it will be minor, maybe moderate. NASA says it will be moderate to severe. I ask: which intensity will it be and why aren’t these two science agencies on the same page? The intensity of the inbound CME matters. If NOAA’s right, and the ensuing geomagnetic storm is minor, it’s no big deal. It means the high latitudes could be treated to some brilliant auroras over the weekend with few, if any, negative effects on earth-orbiting satellites or the power grid.


times, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism became known as the Three Doctrines, or the "Three Teachings".

New Zealand a land of rare beauty, glacial mountains, fast-flowing rivers, deep, clear lakes, hissing geysers and boiling mud, New Zealand cultivates a red and gold tomato-like fruit called a Tamarillo. The smooth crimson red or golden yellow egg-shaped fruit is pointed at both ends with a green stem. The skin is tough and the outer layer of the flesh is slightly firm. Inside are dark red to purple edible seeds that are slightly harder than those of a tomato. The surprising apricot-colored flesh and soft succulent pulp is remarkably juicy. The Tamarillo is used more often as a vegetable, but can be eaten raw when fully ripe with a sprinkle of sugar,salt and pepper or salt red pepper powder and sugar(sweetner). It has an unusual texture similar to that of a plum and is slightly tart but very flavorful.


Mites are arachnids, abundant and widespread and most are generally unpleasant - except probably to arachnologists and most other mites. Presumably even arachnologists get itchy or asthmatic as mites move from domestic dust with its riches of shed skin cells, and take to crawling over our good selves nibbling as they go. There are many species, and the food of these organisms ranges widely from the contents of plant cells, other small metazoa, detritus. Phase contrast.

The term "float" refers both to a type of glass and to the process by which it is made. Float glass is the basic glass from which almost all the flat glass products are derived. It may be clear or coloured, and is produced in large sheets (6 x 3.21 m) that are normally processed into secondary products. The float process involves literally floating the molten glass on a bath of liquid tin, producing a perfectly flat surface on both sides. The raw materials for float glass are 73% sand (silicon dioxide), 15% soda (sodium carbonate), 10% limestone (calcium carbonate) and 2% various additives.

|To some, the outline of the open cluster of stars M6 resembles a butterfly. M6, also known as NGC 6405, spans about 20 light-years and lies about 2,000 light years distant. M6 can best be seen in a dark sky with binoculars towards the constellation of Scorpius, coving about as much of the sky as the Like other open clusters, M6 is composed predominantly of young blue stars, although the brightest star is nearly orange. M6 is estimated to be about 100 million years old. Determining the distance to clusters like M6 helps astronomers calibrate the distance scale of the universe.

In the examples above, a relationship has always been between occurrences in two different entities. However, it is possible for the same entity to participate in the relationship. This is termed a recursive relationship. Let us take the example of an employee who is also a manager. But a manager is also an employee, whose details will be held in the employee entity. To implement this a foreign key of the employee's manager number would be held in each employee record. Employee NI number Manager no * (this is the employee no of the employee's manager) Graphically, this can be shown as: This is commonly know as a 'pig's ear'. Another, more complicated example (don't worry, you will not be assessed on this) is showing the relationship between a person and their parents. This can be represented graphically by:
