With the adoption of Erin's Law in Illinois, we were asked to provide a personal safety lesson for middle school. Previously we focused on dating violence at this level, which some states required. We have done a great job of providing curriculum about sexual abuse prevention K-6, and now we will be adding a middle school Targeted Extension Activity to the 2013 curriculum to help schools in Illinois be compliant with Erin's Law. If you have a Teacher's Edition older than 2013, you can still access that activity by registering your Middle School Level 1 Teacher's Guide and exploring the 2013 edition for Unit 4:The Cycle of Life. You can view this activity after August 2013, but we wanted to alert you to this update, so that you can be looking out for it!


When the word ‘God’ is used, it typically refers to an anthropomorphic God—an extra-terrestrial super-human who, having created the world, is charged with the laborious task of overseeing its day-to-day operations. Any statement that seeks to explain the origins of the universe or the dynamics by which it is governed is a scientific statement, not a theological one, and therefore must be verified by the scientific method. Of course, neither creationism nor its sister hypothesis ‘intelligent design’ can be scientifically tested. As a result, believers often find themselves at odds with physicists and biologists. But as Joseph Campbell once observed, the conflict is not between science and religion. The conflict is between the science of the 21st century and the science of 2,000 BC.

The church's development and use of sacraments has evolved in many ways from the days of the early church to the present. This sourcebook provides key theological texts that played a role in those movements. Johnson traces the history and theology of individual sacraments along with their liturgical context in the church's worship. He includes materials previously developed in James F. White's classic collection, Documents of Christian Worship: Descriptive and Interpretive Sources (Westminster John Knox Press, 1992), and supplements these to provide a wide range of indispensible materials. He also contributes helpful background notes to give the reader the full breadth and depth of the church's thought on these important topics. This book will be of great value to those studying the history of Christian worship and the development of the sacraments.

Who knows of any middle school students who like to wake up early in the morning to do math? We do! The students at Casey Middle School in Boulder, Colorado met before their school day began to be creative using Math on a Sphere. Students received some instruction in thinking spherically and learned some basic geometry and turtle commands facilitated by Hilary Peddicord, a NOAA Affiliate and Mike Eisenberg from the Craft Technology Group at CU Boulder. Within three meetings at school, each a bit over an hour at weekly intervals, students were able to learn how to instruct the turtle to move around the globe. Students traveled to NOAA in Boulder at the David Skaggs Research Center for their final meeting, where students could see their wildly colorful designs on the big SOS in a gala celebration.

There are a variety of ways in which introductions of films are effective and engage the audience, through storyline and special effects, these are not the only conventions established. Other ideas include: - A good script/storyboard (or as previously mentioned, narrative) - Decent/Satisfactory acting - Avoiding repetition of specific words or phrases - Concepts which make the film different and more unique to others e.g. aspects that aren't similar to current movies - The 3 key components: the 180 degree rule, rule of thirds and match on action shots - A range of different types of shots e.g. Close Ups, Long Shots, Establishing Shots etc.


About the Book We have produced this guide for professionals working in education, mental health and interpreting as part of the SIGNALL 3 project. Within this guide we draw on, and succinctly report on the vast body of literature that discusses deafness and Deafhood. We take a look at terminology and definitions of ‘deaf’ and ‘Deaf’. We explore aspects of the Deaf community, considering concepts like ‘linguistic genocide’ and how they play out in terms of attitudes to signed languages and policy approaches to deaf education. It includes some useful tips for teachers and mental health professionals that are easy to implement.


Federalism is the shared governance of a territory, in the United States federalism is divided into three parts: local, state and national governments. Federalism is evolving relationship between governments and has been evvolving since the founding of the U.S.A. In general, there are two forms of federalism: Dual Federalism- local, state and national government have separate mandates to accomplish common goals. Consider law enforcement, most place in America are protected by local police, state police, and federal law enforcement (FBI, ATF, Homeland Security). Cooperative Federalism- local, state an national government have common mandates. Local, state and federal governments cooperate to have schools and share funds to provide for education. There are many other types of federalism, dual and cooperative are considered the most recognized definition. Federalism in America

In 1930 the British anthropologist Sir Flinders Petrie and his team of archaeologists discovered all sorts of primitive bowling balls, bowling pins and other materials in the grave of an Egyptian boy from 3200 BC. It appears that the ancient Egyptians played a primitive form of bowling and that bowling is more than 5200 years old. The German historicist William Pehle claimed that in 200 BC an ancient form of bowling was played in his home country. In Germany of that time a form of bowling was played during festivals, where stones were thrown at nine wooden sticks, which were called 'kegles'. Due to this fact bowlers in Germany are also known as 'keglers'.


The Puritans of 17th-century England have been blamed for everything from the English civil war to the rise of capitalism. But who were the Puritans of Stuart England? Were they apostles of liberty, who fled from persecution to the New World? Or were they intolerant fanatics, intent on bringing godliness to Stuart England? This study provides a narrative of the rise and fall of the Puritans across the 17th-century. Their story is placed in context by analytical chapters, which describe what the Puritans believed and how they organized their religious and social life. The book quotes many contemporary sources, including sermons.


Ball of Gas Has Energy of Hundreds of Billions of Suns - The New York Times: "Astronomers have discovered a giant ball of hot gas, billions of light years away, that is radiating the energy of hundreds of billions of suns. The ball may be the most powerful supernova ever seen, a study in the journal Science reports. At the center is an object about 10 miles in diameter that scientists think might be a rare type of star called a magnetar. The gas ball, 3.8 billion light years away, was spotted through the All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae collaboration. The project, led by researchers at Ohio State University, aims to find supernovae using various small telescopes in the Northern and Southern hemispheres." 'via Blog this'

Our Preparatory 1 and 2 choruses teach young singers the fundamentals of singing in a group, including beginning note reading, vocal production, and performance. We use Kodaly and Orff based teaching methods that are proven techniques for engaging young children in music learning and movement. No previous experience is needed. Students are involved in age-appropriate music and activities designed to challenge their singing and listening skills, and ignite their imaginations to explore how the elements of music can help them express themselves. In our Preparatory 3 classes, children are engaged more actively in learning and singing in preparation for their eventual entrance into our very energetic Intermediate Choir.


Description: Cross section of the omasum, which is also called the manyplies, psalterium or third stomach of ruminants. This small, oval organ connects the reticulo-rumen to the abomasum in true ruminants. It is absent in the Camelids (Tylopods). Leaves of tissue hang down from the distal wall of the organ to the omasal canal like the leaves of a book. This slows rate of passage of digesta from the reticulo-rumen and forces particles to be reduced to a minimum size capable of passage. Some absorbtion of water, volatile fatty acids, ammonia and electrolytes (Na, K) also occurs. In a mature bovine this oval organ can measure 8-10 inches across by 10-12 inches long.

Two giant day geckos, one male and one female, can be found in the ECO Center. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List status: Least Concern. Found in the uppermost canopies of rainforests and plantations; often found in nearby human settlements and cities. Carnivorous. Eats various invertebrates (especially insects), nectar, and occasionally small invertebrates. Millions of microscopic structures on the scales of the gecko’s feet, called setae, give these lizards an incredible climbing ability. The giant day gecko’s bright colors help to camouflage it amidst the vibrant vegetation of the rainforest, useful for ambushing prey in the middle of the day. When threatened, their colors turn darker, to better hide in the shade of leaves.

Mermaid moodboard : Inuit mermaids Like Sedna, or Sanna; the drowned goddess, Inuit mermaids were once humans. They were women from all ages who drowned by falling under the ice or being washed away by a powerful wave. Sedna welcomed thoses women she saw as sisters and granted them the gift of breathing underwater and an orca tail to show that they belonged to the underwater world. She painted their hands with black lines with her hair which symbolizes her own fingers and hands which were cut by her father and from which all the fish sprang out. Inuit mermaids are benevolent spirits guiding fishermen in winter, leading the fish where they will be needed and calming Sedna when she is angry because of her hair entangled by the currents..


sleep ~ food ~ exercise ~ relaxation ~ nature ~ magnetism ~ sunlight ~ home harmonising There are three key things which health experts say contribute to us staying healthy – these are good nutrition, regular exercise and good quality sleep. Most people know about the first two but very few people recognize how much sleep can contribute to our wellbeing. In fact, of the three it is undoubtedly the most important. Sleep is a great healer yet research indicates that 50 per cent of people sleep so little or so badly that it adversely affects their health. What is more, many people do not realize that there is a problem with the quality and quantity of their sleep.


It is 30 years since the attack on HMS Sheffield during the Falklands War. Twenty men died when the ship was hit by a missile on May 4th, 1982. It was a conflict which saw 28,000 airmen, sailors and soldier sent to fight a war on the other side of the world. Weeks later, on June 14th, Argentina surrendered. The Union Jack was once again flying over the Falkland Islands, but at a cost. Two hundred and fifty five British lives were lost. The Royal Naval Association has organised a wreath laying service at Sheffield Cathedral in memory of those who died on HMS Sheffield - where the ship's brass bell will toll 20 times, once for each crew member who died.

Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there; Martha waited on them and Lazarus was among those at table. Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was filled with the scent of the ointment. Then Judas Iscariot — one of his disciples, the man who was to betray him-said, ‘Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?’ He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was in charge of the common fund and used to help himself to the contents. So Jesus said, ‘Leave her alone; let her keep it for the day of my burial. You have the poor with you always, you will not always have me.’

Fennel is highly prized for its licorice-like flavor and the myriad of health benefits it provides and has been used in natural remedies since ancient times. Originally cultivated in the Mediterranean, fennel remains especially prevalent in Greek and Italian cuisine – though its influence has spread globally over the years. It is easily recognized by its pale bulb and long green stalks and can be grown almost anywhere. All parts of the fennel plant – including the bulb, stalk, leaves, and seeds – are edible and contribute a nice blend of flavor to other foods.

In short, sialadenitis is a disorder of the salivary gland. One of several related disorders, this condition is caused by a painful bacterial infection in a person’s salivary gland. Many times, this infection is caused by staphylococcus or anaerobic bacteria. According to researchers at Harvard Medical School, sialadenitis is most common in elderly adults and very young infants. Symptoms include a painful lump in the cheek or under the chin, or foul-tasting pus released into the mouth from the salivary duct. In severe cases, the person may experience flu-like symptoms, including a fever and chills. The most severe cases usually occur in elderly people who do not receive treatment for their symptoms… (American Health Advantage)


What is Principle Six? The Principle Six (P6) Cooperative Trade Movement exemplifies just and equitable trade relationships between farmers, producers, retailers and consumers rooted in cooperative principles and values. P6 is owned by and designed for grocery co-ops and cooperative food producers. P6 is the symbol of a growing consumer-supported food economy recognizing product grown or produced locally, or internationally, by small farmers/producers, and cooperatives. P6 is a national movement guided by shared values and three overarching criteria: cooperative, small, local. The goal: increasing market access for small farmers, building co-operative supply chains and, ultimately, changing our food system.


Berries May Boost Memory Snacking on berries may improve your memory as you age. Researchers analyzed six years' worth of data on more than 16,000 women over 70 and found that those who ate berries most often had the slowest cognitive decline—by up to 2 1/2 years. They believe the link may be a result of anti-inflammatory substances found in berries called flavonoids (and in particular those known as anthocyanidins), which were independently associated with slower mental decline.

Repeated strong storms this winter have resulted in the finding of thousands of seabirds along the coast, as reported by the media. These storms have raised some questions: is it an uncommon occurrence? What impact will it have on the overall population of the affected species? If hundreds of them are dying because of the storms, why is there no coordinated response as is the case with oil spills? Why should we worry about bycatch, considering more seabirds might die in stochastic events like storms?


Electron microscopes can now not only image single atoms but also map the locations of different chemical elements in a sample. A scanning-transmission electron microscope (STEM) operates by sending an atom-thin beam of electrons through a sample. Those electrons lose energy as they kick up the energy of some of the sample's electrons. The energy losses depend on the characteristic energies of electron states in an atom. Exploiting that fact, scientists have in recent years learned to identify which elements the beam has encountered. So far, however, researchers haven't been able to determine the locations of those elements on the two-dimensional image that the microscope produces. That's because the STEM detector varies somewhat in sensitivity across its area, and because it's hard to keep a sample still.

The DMAIC method involves five steps: Define Measure Analyze Improve Control –It is used to improve the current capabilities of an existing process –It is the most commonly used methodology of sigma improvement teams. – The DMAIC method will be the focus of this class. The DMADV method involves five steps: Define Measure Analyze Design Verify –It is used to help create a process, product, or service to meet customer requirements . –It is used when there is a need to complete a redesign because a process, product, or service is consistently incapable of meeting customer requirements. –It is less frequently used. –It is typically convened and staffed by senior managers.


Transcranial magnetic stimulation Transcranial magnetic stimulation is an experimental procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain in the hope of improving chronic depression symptoms. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is one of the newer types of brain stimulation methods designed to treat depression when standard treatment hasn't worked. There are different ways to perform transcranial magnetic stimulation. But in general, a large electromagnetic coil is placed against your scalp near your forehead. The electromagnet creates painless electric currents that stimulate nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood regulation and depression. Posted by Jay Roberts at 08:50 PM | Permalink

Feminist Applepieville: architecture as social reform in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's fiction Metadata[+] Show full item record Charlotte Perkins Gilman used her fiction to supplement, or "flesh-out," her theories on the necessity for women's economic independence and emancipation from household work. Women's place, she believed, was alongside men in making society peaceful, productive, and egalitarian. All domestic work would thereon be performed as a professionalized, commercialized service. This move would give both dignity to these laborious chores, and provide incomes for women who were previously dependent on their male family members. The redesign of the home and neighborhood was of primary importance in realizing this societal transformation. Thoughtful architecture and urban planning would create not only the stage for this new society, but the society itself.

Best Management Practices For Disease Control In order for a sugarbeet disease to become a problem it needs three things: a susceptible host, favorable environment for development, and the disease must be present. It is vitally important to choose Tolerant/Resistant varieties if a particular disease is present in your fields; for many diseases this is the only way to control them. Along with varietal resistance, correct fungicide timing with favorable environmental conditions is critical for Rhizoctonia and Cercopora control. Proper rotations are also beneficial in breaking the disease cycle.

Aloha! Let's take a jump off the mainland and see what the Hawaiian islands have to offer on our culinary tour of the US! One of the most interesting things about Hawaiian cuisine is that very few native plants were edible. This means that the majority of the raw ingredients - from yams to pigs - have been introduced to the islands by various settlers and immigrants over the years, beginning with the original Polynesians. Similar to Florida, Hawaii's temperate climate gives them an almost year-round growing season. This means that fresh fruits and vegetables are readily available and dishes pop with their bright flavors. Vegetables and Starches: We're sure we've missed a few - what else do you have to add to this list?


If you are using a single character value, you will use the type char. What is a char?

A prolific artist, Chagall excelled in the European tradition of subject painting and distinguished himself as an expressive colourist. His work is noted for its consistent use of folkloric imagery and its sweetness of colour, and it is characterized by a style that, although developed in the years before World War I, underwent little progression throughout his long career. Though he preferred to be known as a Belarussian artist, following his exile from the Soviet Union in 1923 he was recognized as a major figure of the Ecole de Paris, especially in the later 1920s and the 1930s. In his last years he was regarded as a leading artist in stained glass. In the print world, he is famous for his beautifully colored lithographs, most notably the series created to illustrate the story of Daphnis and Chloe.


In 2nd Grade we count US coins and bills. My school district broke the standard down even further to say we need to teach how to count ALL US bills. I made this mini-unit to add to our money unit to help with identifying and counting bills. My class had a BLAST counting up so much money! :) Included in this packet is: -Posters of each bill -Practice presentations counting each bill separately -Practice presentations counting mixed amounts of bills -A Toy Shop with several worksheets -A counting bills scoot *NOTE* There are NO coins included in this unit. This unit is strictly for bills. Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Astilbe or false spirea is a great perennial plant for the novice gardener. It doesn't require a lot of care, and is not particularly prone to disease or bugs. In addition, if you live in an area frequented by deer, they tend to leave it alone. The one requirement is that it needs plenty of water. There are numerous varieties, ranging in size from 6 inches to 5 feet in hues of pink, white, purple and red. The blossoms appear in June and July, but the foliage remains attractive throughout the summer. Astilbe can be planted in either the spring after the last frost, or in the fall. Choose a shady area of your garden with soil that drains well. Set the plant into the ground at the same level as its dirt enclosure. Depending on the variety, space additional plants one to two feet apart. Water thoroughly. Continue to water deeply once a week throughout the summer.


Flash cards go digital with this mathematics helper from School Zone Publishing. Flash Action Addition/Subtraction helps kids around 6 years old drill on addition and subtraction problems using the numbers 1 through 12. With the program's colorful graphics and simple interface, most kids shouldn't have any trouble starting a drill or playing against a friend. They can even choose to focus on a particular number to help them conquer an especially difficult area. The game is enjoyable for a short while, but there's not much to it other than the drills, and we doubt that kids will want too many replays.


Tuesday, 9 November 2010 Artwork of the day Alabaster figurines from Tell Asmar (located in modern Iraq), c. 2700 BC These figurines from the Mesopotamian town of Tell Asmar were found buried together underneath the floor of the altar in the so called Square Temple dedicated to the god Abu and date from the Early Dynastic Period, c. 2700 BC. Recent theories view the whole group as worshipers –including possibly a priest- who were supposed to pray in eternity to the god(s) on behalf of the people they represented. The only exception is probably the smallest, kneeling figure that is often interpreted as a mythical creature. Their excellent state of preservation (due to the fact that they were buried for thousands of years) is unique and makes them among the most impressive examples of Mesopotamian civilisation.


In 1860 Lincoln was elected president of U.S.A. BREAKING NEWS! Southerners were afraid that Lincoln would abolish slavery. Then in 1863 in the middle of the war Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The southerners are now fierce about the paper Lincoln signed. Lincoln let the south back in the U.S.A. Then in 1865 Lincoln was shot in a theater by john Wilkes Booth. The north and south were shocked, Lincoln died the next morning. Now all the slaves are free and the south weren't following the new rules. The black men and women and children don't get there equal rights.


According to The Wall Street Journal, breadfruit tastes like undercooked potatoes and has a similar crunchy texture. The fruit is also known to taste like fresh bread, hence its name.Continue Reading Breadfruit can be cooked in a similar way to potatoes, and its indistinctive taste allows it to absorb a wide variety of spices without altering their flavor profile. Breadfruit is native to subequatorial and tropical countries in Africa and the Caribbean, and to Pacific Ocean island nations. As one of the highest-yielding fruit trees on the planet, with one plant producing almost 500 pounds of fruit per season, according to The Wall Street Journal, scientists believe that breadfruit trees may be a solution to helping end world hunger problems. The challenge arises when it comes to making the food more palatable for widespread consumption.Learn more about Fruits & Veggies


Digital Elevation Model A digital elevation model also referred to as DEM is a digitally produced map of surface topography. Typically generated by remote sensing they are often used to create digital models and representations. DEM maps can be taken by wither satellites or airplanes. This is clearly a surface DEM map because we can see as the colors change from green to dark red so does the elevation.


Current (Amps) is the flow of electrons round the circuit. Current will only flow through a component if there is a voltage accross it. Voltage (Volts) is the driving force that pushes the current round the circuit. Resistance (Ohms) is anything in the circuit which slows the flow down. If you increase the voltage the more current will flow. If you increase the resistance the less current will…

Researchers have made a material which is so light it's 99.99% air. The material has a density of less than 0.2 mg per cubic centimetre - which is about 400 times lighter than styrofoam. To hold it, the aerographite looks like a black sponge, says New Scientist - though you'd hardly know it was there. It can also be compressed by 1,000 times before springing back to its original shape, and can support much more weight than competitors like aerogel. According to Phys.org it can actually support up to 40,000 times its own weight.y Amazingly, it can also conduct electricity, meaning it could be used in batteries or other technology. It is also reportedly resistant to chemical attack.


St. Mark's Campanile St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, located in the square (piazza) of the same name. It is a recognizable symbol of the city. The tower is 98.6 meters tall, and stands alone in a corner of St Mark's Square, near the front of the basilica. It has a simple form, the bulk of which is a plain brick shaft, 12 meters on a side and 50 meters tall, above which is the arched belfry, housing five bells. The belfry is topped by a cube, alternate faces of which show walking lions and the female representation of Venice (la Giustizia: Justice). The tower is capped by a pyramidal spire, at the top of which sits a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel. The campanile reached its present form in 1514. As it stands today, however, the tower is a reconstruction, completed in 1912 after the collapse of 1902.


Stroke is not always fatal. It all depends on how fast you will react and recognize it. Here are four symptoms by which you can recognize stroke: - Ask the person to smile (he or she will not be able to) - Ask the person to pronounce one simple sentence (He or she will have trouble saying it) - Ask the person to pull out its tongue (If his or hers tongue is swinging from one side to the other, the person have had a stroke) - Ask the person to lift his/hers arms (Either they will not be able to or they will lift their arms but only partially) If the person has symptoms such the above, immediately call a doctor.

In for a penny, in for a pound This expression indicates the intention of seeing a course of action through, regardless of what it may entail. It suggests that, if one is decided to do something, one may as well do it wholeheartedly. There's not a great deal to be said about the origin of this little phrase. The precise coinage isn't known, although it was in circulation in the late 17th century, as this example from Edward Ravenscroft's comic play Canterbury Guests, 1695 shows: Well than, O'er shooes, o'er boots.

Introduction The condition discussed in this article, you will come to find, is quite complex and can be a battle for the physiotherapist and physical therapist. Thoracic outlet syndrome is considered to be a collection of quite diverse syndromes rather than a single entity (Yanaka et al., 2004), and therefore, accurate diagnosis and enlightened treatment […] Physiotherapists working in the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, which definitely includes sports physiotherapists (and physical therapists), will regularly utilise exercises to both strengthen and improve the neuromuscular coordination of the “core” musculature. This is seen as an important part of both injury rehabilitation and prevention. This article will discuss new EMG research into core muscle activation during a number of swiss ball exercises, and the clinical implications for therapists.

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of a greenhouse gas is its ability to trap extra heat in the atmosphere over time relative to carbon dioxide (CO2). This is most often calculated over 100 years, and is known as the 100 year GWP. Many activities in people's daily lives lead to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greater public consciousness about the problem has led to people making efforts to avoid or minimise the flow of these gases into the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a warming of the earth's surface and lower atmosphere caused by substances which let the sun's energy through to the ground but impede the passage of energy from the earth back into space.

In mammals, circadian oscillators not only exist in specialized neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, but in almost all peripheral cell types. These oscillators are operative even in established fibroblast cell lines, such as Rat-1 cells or NIH3T3 cells, and in primary fibroblasts from mouse embryos or adult animals. This can be demonstrated by treating such cells for a short time period with high concentrations of serum or chemicals that activate a large number of known signaling pathways. The possibility of studying circadian rhythms in cultured cells should facilitate the biochemical and genetic dissection of the circadian clockwork and should promote the discovery of new clock components. see on Pubmed


This activity is terrific after teaching about how human actions impact the environment. It also fits well with Earth day. Students are presented a common issue (an abundance of litter in the park). First, students use their creativity and art skills to design a sign which will be posted in the park to reduce littering. Second, students must write a letter to the city council. The letter is an argument about what the city should do to reduce the litter problem. Students must provide two suggestions and support them. I often copy these pages front and back, so that students can choose which will be displayed (their wrting or their artwork - since middle schoolers tend to be self-conscience about, well everything, including their artistic ability).

Image: By Thomas Keith Aitken (Second Lieutenant) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons “Dulce et Decorum est” is a poem written byWilfred OwenduringWorld War I, and published posthumously in 1920. The Latin title is taken from the Roman poetHoraceand means “it is sweet and honorable…”, followed by pro patria mori, which means “to die for one’s country”. Owen’s poem is known for its horrific imagery and condemnation of war. I came across this poem a few days ago, and thought it was a powerful statement of the reality of war.

Like many Victorian-era styles, Italianate emphasized vertical proportions and richly decorative detailing. Designers and builders used the style on residential, commercial, and industrial structures throughout Colorado from about 1870 up until the turn of the century. Italianate is characterized by a low pitched hip roof, wide overhangs, bracketed cornice, a variety of fenestration (usually very tall, narrow, double-hung, one-over-one windows), molded window surrounds, and occasionally a cupola or balustrated balcony. Simple Italianate structures have a hip roof, bracketed eaves, and molded window surrounds. A more elaborate or high style example may feature arcaded porches, quoins, towers, and ornate detailing. There are also some Italianate structures that are flat roofed, with a front bay and entrance, and a decorated cornice.


"We will of course claim what is ours under international law," she said. "But we know that leaves a great vast amount of the Arctic that will be a common responsibility."Last year in Greenland, Clinton and her counterparts from other nations took a small step toward international cooperation by agreeing to coordinate Arctic search-and-rescue missions for stranded sailors and others. Officials are now trying to enhance the cooperation, including through joint plans to prevent oil spills in an environment that would make cleanup a logistical nightmare. And the U.S. has also been championing measures such as shifting away from dirty diesel engines, agricultural burning and hydrofluorocarbons to lessen the effect of short-lived greenhouse gases that are a particularly potent source of climate change in the Arctic.

In places where many unrelated families have the same surname* and people occupy the same land for generations, the name of a house becomes part of a persons’s identity, as gravestones testify. Was this house named as a wry comment on the poverty of the soil as suggested by Dyfed archeologists? The generally marginal, poor quality of the land is testified by the names of two farms – one, ‘North Pole’, is suggestive of later 19th century origins while another, ‘Llys-y-fran’ (or ‘Crow’s Palace’), is clearly a post-medieval irony, although it is recorded as early as 1640. Perhaps this house was named in gratitude for the timbers of a ship (The North Pole) wrecked on Strumble Head and recycled as local building materials. The painfully long list of Pembrokeshire ship wrecks published by ‘Dive Pembrokeshire’ doesn’t mention a ship of this name, however. Does anyone know?


TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) -- Two of the Great Lakes have hit their lowest water levels ever recorded. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Tuesday that tests taken in January show that Lake Huron and Lake Michigan were at their lowest ebb since record keeping began in 1918. The lakes were 29 inches below their long-term average and had declined 17 inches since January 2012. The other Great Lakes -- Superior, Erie and Ontario -- were also well below average. Scientists say the drought and other natural forces, along with dredging of rivers that drain from the lakes, have contributed to the level drops. Low water causes heavy economic losses by forcing cargo ships to carry lighter loads, leaving boat docks high and dry, and damaging fish spawning areas.


|Mod Included||Atomic Science| Uranium Hexafloride is a gas produced by boiling Uranium Ore. Feeding Uranium Ore into a powered Nuclear Boiler with sufficient water will produce Uranium Hexafloride: a gas which can be piped into a Centrifuge, either by placing the two machines next to each other, or with a pipe. Once fed into a Centrifuge it is converted into Uranium-235 or Uranium-238. It cannot normally be interacted with and cannot be placed if given to a player. Uranium Hexafluoride cannot be transported through Pressurized Tube, requiring the Nuclear Boiler and Centrifuge to be placed next to each other.

by Devora Gila Berkowitz What does it mean to be a leader? Yosef resolves the challenging socio-economic dynamics that enable him to navigate the famine emergency with grace and intelligence. He uses his mind and is quick to make thoughtful decisions that keep order and peace in society while fulfilling the basic physical needs of the people. What qualities allow Yosef to succeed? Certainly not an ideal childhood. As a young boy he suffers the passing of his mother, he's an object of hatred of his own brothers, and as a young man is sold into slavery. Is Yosef a strong leader despite these tragedies or because of them? And what are those eternal inner qualities that allow us to succeed, no matter what our circumstances?


We already have autonomous robots that can drive, fly, swim—even operate in space. And now, thanks to researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute, we'll soon be dealing with bots that can tackle the final frontier here on earth—or should we say inside earth—with a self-burrowing robot that works underground. It's hard to see robotic developments like this and not immediately think of how it can be used against humans. After all, a lot of good can come from robots too. But according to its creators, this burrowing bot could be air-dropped onto a target where it would immediately bury itself and provide covert video surveillance. Even stealthy aerial drones can still be spotted as they make a pass, but except for a little disturbed dirt, these would be hard to spot.


How does Cross-Linking Effect the Thermal Stability of Polyisoprene Polymer Degradation and Stability Polyisoprene can be cross-linked by an initial lithiation followed by reaction with both monochloro compounds and dichloro compounds. The monochloro compounds effect crosslinking through a lithium-chlorine exchange route while the use of dichloro compounds links the PIP chains with the spacer between the two chlorine atoms. A significant amount of char is produced from compounds which have been cross-linked with aromatic dihalides while aliphatic dihalides do not produce significant char.


Niacin is an important nutrient - deficiencies are mostly seen in locations where there is a lot of poverty, malnutrition and alcoholism, and in countries where corn, the only grain low in niacin, is a major food source. Niacin deficiency can manifest in a variety of ways. Mild deficiency can result in an intolerance to cold (due to slow metabolism). More severe deficiency results in pellagra (diarrhea, dermatitis, and dementia). Niacin is found in a number of foods - animal products, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, mushrooms and brewer's yeast - so it is not generally an issue when people have a balanced diet.


Question: Did you know that Basil Hayden, namesake of a famous Kentucky bourbon, actually started his distillery in St. Mary’s County? It’s true! Basil Hayden, Sr. was a Maryland Catholic who led a group of twenty-five Catholic families from Maryland into what is now Nelson County, Kentucky (near Bardstown) in 1785. Years ago, immigrants from Scotland and Ireland made their way to St. Mary’s and Charles counties, he said, but were lured to the Kentucky territory by “corn grants.” The grants, dispensed by the governor of Virginia, who then presided over the Kentucky territory, gave land to settlers who promised to grow corn. The Kentucky settlers ended up growing much more corn than ” they needed. And so, these Scotch-Irish folks “did what they knew how to do,” O’Daniel said. “They made whiskey.”

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away and know then to run. You never count your money when you're sitting' at the table. There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done. Tuesday, 2 July 2013 Connect the dots, also known as dot to dot or join the dots are a form of puzzle containing a sequence of numbered dots. When a line is drawn connecting the dots the outline of an object is revealed. The puzzles frequently contain simple line art to enhance the image created or to assist in rendering a complex section of the image. Connect the dots puzzles are generally created for children. The use of numbers can be replaced with letters or other symbols.


The Conodoguinet Creek is approximately 90 miles long and drains 540 square miles of diverse lands. Forested areas over the upland basin give way to intense agriculture throughout the valley. Much of the Conodoguinet Creek watershed still has a strong agricultural flavor, including numerous villages and small towns. While farming remains a prominent land use in the western part of the valley, dramatic growth in the Carlisle to Camp Hill area has converted much agricultural land to residential and commercial uses. The Conodoguinet meanders toward the suburban west shore of Harrisburg through a series of elaborate bends and loops. The name Conodoguinet comes from an Indian word meaning a long way with many bends.


COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Some state lawmakers want to bring back cursive handwriting as a requirement in Ohio's elementary schools. Republican Reps. Andrew Brenner and Marilyn Slaby have proposed legislation that would again make cursive instruction mandatory between kindergarten and fifth grade. Thirteen representatives have signed on as co-sponsors. The bill would require schools to make sure students can write legibly in standard print by third grade and in cursive by the end of fifth grade. The state doesn't currently require that cursive be taught in schools, and it's not part of the multi-state Common Core standards on which Ohio's standards are based. However, cursive instruction is included in the state's "model curriculum" for third and fourth grade.


This project seeks to improve the science achievement and the academic English language proficiency of middle school Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs). This project will conduct a randomized trial longitudinal evaluation of an enhanced standards-based science curriculum model, consisting of five major components: (a) English language acquisition strategies integrated into the science curriculum, (b) technology-assisted instruction, (c) bi-weekly teacher professional development, (d) family involvement, and (e) paraprofessionals in working with individual ELLs.

"We played a fun new math game." -Grace "Matilda taught me how to make a daisy chain." -Aiden D. Enjoy your rainy Wednesday!


Our Pest Control Specialists serve New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Turning wood to a mass of fine powder The term “powderpost” comes from the fact that the larvae of these beetles feed on wood and, given enough time, can reduce it to a mass of fine powder. Because of this behavior, they are considered pests. Powderpost beetle larvae spend months or years inside wood while developing, feeding mainly on the starch content. Their presence is only apparent when they emerge as adults, leaving behind pinhole- sized openings, often called “shot holes”. They may also leave piles of powdery frass below. Shot holes normally range in diameter from 1 of beetle. If wood conditions are right, female beetles may lay their eggs and re-infest the wood, continuing the cycle for generations.


(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7) is_file — Tells whether the filename is a regular file Tells whether the given file is a regular file. Path to the file. TRUE if the filename exists and is a regular file, Note: Because PHP's integer type is signed and many platforms use 32bit integers, some filesystem functions may return unexpected results for files which are larger than 2GB. Example #1 is_file() example var_dump(is_file('a_file.txt')) . "\n"; var_dump(is_file('/usr/bin/')) . "\n"; The above example will output: Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted. Note: The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.


Although not part of the original motifs of the Yellow Mythos, several of the stars associated with it are red and related non-mythos fiction has made use of worlds with red suns. Such a red sun is likely to be a red giant nearing the end of its life-cycle and is fitting for worlds implied to be ancient and dying. Examples include: - Aldebaran is a red giant star. - The Hyades contains red giants. - Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star. - The star orbited by the world of Darkover is a small red star older than our sun. - The far future earth of the non-mythos story Earth's Last Citadel is illuminated by a dull red sun.


The Amidah - called The Standing Prayer, was composed around 450 BCE, by the 120 Men of the Great Assembly, including Ezra and Nehemiah at the time of the rebuilding of the Temple. It was to be said while standing. Three (3) times a day at the hours of prayer: 9:00 am, 12:00 pm and, 3:00 pm. FOR THE RIGHTEOUS AND PROSELYTES: May Your compassion be stirred, Oh Lord our God, towards the righteous, the pious, the elders of Your people the house of Israel, the remnant of their scholars, towards proselytes, and towards us also. Grant a good reward to all who truly trust in Your name. Set our lot with them forever so that we may never be put to shame, for we have put our trust in You. Blessed are You, Oh Lord, the support and stay of the righteous.

Fun musical game for kids! Learn about geography and songs from around the world It is fun to learn all about the Oceans on a World map! After all, there are five world oceans and they cover a big part of the planet. In this post, we show you three ways we learned them in a way that kids enjoy it and the information actually sticks. I believe so strongly in the importance of our children having a global perspective- knowing the world is so much more than about them, their neighborhood, and their country. Continuing the week's theme of geography, I've found 30 fun activities to facilitate a global perspective.

Benjamin Franklin Quotes About SlaveryQuotes about: Slavery A [desire] to abolish slavery prevails in North America, many of the Pennsylvanians have set their slaves at liberty, and [Virginia legislators] have petitioned the King for permission to make a law for preventing the importation of more [slaves] into that colony. This request, however, will probably not be granted, as their former laws of that kind have always been repealed. - Born: January 17, 1706 - Died: April 17, 1790 - Occupation: Founding Father of the United States - Cite this Page: Citation


Various types of surge voltages occur in electrical plants and electronic systems. Depending on the cause, the duration and amplitude of each surge can vary greatly. The direct or indirect consequences of lightning strikes are one particular cause of surge voltages. Here, during the surge voltage, high surge currents with amplitudes of up to ten thousand amperes can occur. In this case, largescale equipment failures and data loss can occur. This failure is often not covered by insurance and, within a short period of time, can become a heavy financial burden – especially in comparison to the cost of installing a Surge Protection Device (SPD).


16:51 14 February 2017 Harvard scientists are revolutionising battery technology with their “flow battery” designed to store energy in liquid solutions in order to retain their capacity and discharge rates for up to 10 years. The research team discovered that they could develop stable, water-soluble charge particles resistant to degradation by modifying molecules in electrolytes ferrocene and violegen. By doing so, the solution only loses 1per cent of its capacity every 1,000 cycles. Aside from longer battery life, the new technology also makes battery safer. Battery packs that are made using water are non-corrosive and non-toxic, which means that there is no need to worry about dangerous exploding smartphones in your pocket. Also, the use of water is more cost effective ensuring battery-based energy storage solutions can be made affordable.

Sunderland - The Mackem Jews Sunderland - Home TYNE AND WEAR Municipal Coat of Arms Sunderland, a grey industrial town of shipbuilding and coal, on the north-east coast of England, was home to a vibrant Jewish community for two and a half centuries. The community, though originally founded by Bohemian Jews, was characterised by a pious congregation of Litvaks, most of whom came from Kretinga in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The Kretingers, including a large group of Gillises, formed communal institutions that were well known in British Jewry for learning and social cohesion, but the search for new horizons led to the demise of Sunderland's Jewish community by the end of the millennium.

This animated piece offers some technical challenges for students. They will encounter hand crossings, frequent change in hand position, and numerous accents. There is persistent interplay between the hands, and the melody must be carefully brought out. To achieve even eighth notes, students may want to practice the piece using different rhythms, such as long-short-short. Caroline Krause, Iowa Center for Research by Undergraduates Fellow


Giclée on Archival Paper 16" x 12" A pulsar is an astronomical object that emits radiation in the form of rapid pulses. One such object that does this is a rotating neutron star. Think of it similar to a lighthouse beacon in space. When the first pulsar was discovered, it did cross the minds of astronomers that they were possibly seeing a transmission from alien life. However, upon discovery of more pulsars that hypothesis was entirely abandoned.

We’ve seen last time how Bayesian Updating with continuous priors works. As mentioned back then, it isn’t always easy to calculate the total probability of X (p(x)). Today I will introduce the Beta Distribution which makes these calculations easier. The beta(a,b) distribution is a two parameter distribution on range [0,1] and is therefore ideal to model unknown probabilities: where c is the normalising constant: Furthermore the beta distribution is the conjugate prior for Bernoulli, Binomial and Geometric distributions. Conjugate prior means that if our prior is beta our posterior will also be beta. Example: Suppose we have a coin with unknown probability p of heads. We toss the coin 20 times and get 15 heads and 5 tails. What is the posterior PDF? We can see that the posterior PDF is beta(16,6).


Levan as a Raw Material: Summary Carbon is the backbone of the chemical industry. As the price of petroleum products rises, interest grows in products derived from bio-based materials. It is hoped that a biorefinery will eventually be able to substitute bio-products for those made from petrochemicals. Levan is one of those bio-based raw materials that can be used as the starting point for several useful products. Levan (Levana™) is made by fermentation of sucrose. Several examples have been found in which levan can be substituted for chemicals with a poor eco-profile. Levan can be made into a biodegradable plastic film and it can be used as an adhesive. Levan derivatives have potential as surfactants. The safety of levan is particularly attractive for use in personal care products.

A rare eclipse is under way in which the Moon will block out the Sun partially or totally, according to the location from which it is viewed. The hybrid eclipse began over Florida at sunrise and will be visible from within a narrow corridor traversing the North Atlantic and equatorial Africa. Today’s is an especially rare event as the central path of the eclipse begins annular (partial) and ends total. The total eclipse will sweep east across Africa, taking in northern Kenya and Uganda and ending in Ethiopia and Somalia. Those on the edge of the eclipse’s path, including North America, the north of South America, southern Europe and the Middle East, will catch only a partial view. The Moon’s shadow first became visible for…


posted by Juggy on . What's the balanced chemical equation of cleaning up oil, whether it be a spill, pipe etc. Chemical means of fighting oil spills are generally detergents which break up big blobs of oil into small liquid drops that are dispersed and eventually broken down by bacteria. This involves a whole sequence of physical and chemical changes. You can't write a simple chemical equation for all that.


Clean air rules likely to be changed this summer are causing serious concerns about future pollution at some of America's most spectacular national parks, reports the Washington Post. The changes will pave the way for 28 new coal-fired power plants near ten parks, according to a report supported by some National Park Service officials. Parks already have "impaired visibility" because of pollution, and the changes represent a major "setback," said one official. "There are some days when it's unhealthy to breathe at the park," said a pollution specialist at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "People come here to get away, and they can't believe that sometimes they're better off where they came from."

People who are fond of grammar would argue that when the word `percentage’ is preceded by the definite article `the’, then the verb is usually singular. It doesn’t really matter if the noun preceding the verb is singular or plural. *The percentage of students from Delhi is relatively small. Although the noun (`students’) is plural, the verb that follows (`is’) is singular. *The percentage of people willing to participate keeps decreasing every year. When you talk about `a percentage’, on the other hand, it can be followed by a singular or plural verb. It depends on the noun which follows `percentage’. *A very small percentage of the students are from Delhi. *I’m told that a small percentage of Padma’s income goes to charity.
