Paleontologists have published a description of the first dinosaur fossil from Washington state. The fossil was collected along the shores of Sucia Island State Park in the San Juan Islands. The first dinosaur fossil described from Washington state (left) is a portion of a femur leg bone (full illustration right) from a theropod dinosaur. Theropods are a group of meat-eating, two-legged dinosaurs, including T. rex and Velociraptor. The fossil was discovered by Burke Museum paleontologists at Sucia Island State Park in the San Juan Islands.

Sydney was a law clerk in Margate and was great friends with his older cousin, Herbert George Robins who lived and worked in South Africa. He jumped at the chance when Herbert asked him to join him in South Africa, to help run his game reserve. However, as the war in Europe progressed, he joined the Royal Engineers Signal Unit. Herbert George Robins, the son of George Robins and Martha Ann Emptage, arrived in South Africa in 1892, aged 25. With a keen interest in science, he became a prospector and a surveyor. As a farmer, Herbert stopped the hunting, shooting and poaching of game on his land. His 26,000 acres were bequeathed to the Southern Rhodesian Government to be maintained as a game sanctuary for all time.


By examining data from the Suomi NPP satellite, scientists of NASA have identified interesting patterns in nighttime light intensity during holiday seasons. In the Western World an increase of 30-50% in suburban areas is noted during Christmas and New Year’s time, while an increase is seen in the Middle East during the holy month of Ramadan. The data reveals patterns in the usage of energy in different societies and cultures. When we want to reduce greenhouse gases, it is necessary to understand such social phenomena that drive energy consumption. The data of the Suomi NPP satellite and processed by an algorithm which filters out reflection of the moon and influances of the clouds, will help scientists to do so.


“A bird spirit standing on a medium, a middle-aged man. It’s a bird because it flies between the spirits and the medium. It is a bateleur eagle [chapungu], like the one Frank McEwen had.” Frank McEwen was the very influential first director of the National Gallery in Zimbabwe. He had a bateleur eagle called Chapungu that he adored. Sylvester told of how it was neglected by the staff when Frank went away once, and how devastated he was to return and find it had died. This is a very substantial piece by the greatest living Zimbabwean sculptor, who represented Zimbabwe at the Venice Biennale in 2017. The two holes in the lower section are remnants of the mining process. We estimate the weight to be in excess of 250kg.

The birthdays of 20th Century fantasy writers C.S. Lewis and Madeleine L’Engle offer an occasion for considering the power of storytelling. Both Christians, these writers used Biblical themes and motifs to encourage readers to not only know goodness, but to love it. John Stonestreet offers a thoughtful analysis of the importance of the story and the legacy of these two writers, which you can read here. Classical education relies heavily on the power of stories (including those by Lewis and L’Engle) to move students to virtue and excellence. Classical education seeks to expose students to literature’s greatest heroes in hopes that students will strive to emulate them in the context of their personal, professional, and academic lives.


I am an upper KS2 teacher just about to embark on teaching Year 1 for the first time. I've read various postings about having several activities going on in your classroom at the same time but cannot even start to imagine a) how you plan for this, b) how you get manage to give all the children some quality input c) how you can manage to cover all the required objectives in each subject in this way as it seems very time consuming to me. Can anyone enlighten me please as it is a completely new way of teaching to me and I really don't know where to begin. If anyone has any examples of planning I would really appreciate it. email@example.com thanks.


Margaretta is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1875. A dozen names have been proposed as species within Margaretta, but at present only one, Margaretta rosea, is categorized as "accepted" by The Plant List. Most of the rest are "unresolved," in other words, of uncertain affinity. Margaretta rosea is native to Uganda in eastern Africa. - Dressler, S.; Schmidt, M. & Zizka, G. (2014). "Margaretta rosea".

Understanding Earth’s climate system through the Cryosphere Today’s Video of the Day from NASA Science News describes two space missions that will help scientists to better understand the cryosphere, which is a critical component of Earth’s climate system. The cryosphere includes all of the forms of ice on our planet such as sea ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice sheets, and frozen ground. NASA has launched two new missions, GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) and ICESat-2, that use different technologies to provide insight into how the distribution of frozen water influences the water cycle.

Tracking crocodiles in 3-dimensions: A remote monitoring study of movement patterns and diving behaviour (2006–2009) Despite their icon status in Australia, many facets of the natural history of freshwater (Crocodylus johnstoni) and estuarine crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus), such as movement patterns and diving behaviour, are poorly understood. Knowing how crocodiles use space through time is important for the long-term conservation and management of crocodiles. This study aims to utilise state-of-the-art, sensing technology to remotely track the movements of crocodiles in 3-dimensions. Using global positioning systems and time-depth recorders, we will monitor respectively, both the surface location and natural diving patterns of crocodiles, from freshwater and marine habitats, and in animals ranging in body size from 1 to greater than 5 metres.


A theory that describes decision-making when risk is perceived. Prospect theory states that people make decisions based on the potential value of losses and gains, rather than the final outcome. Further, that in our evaluation, our evaluation of the consequence of losses is greater than the gains. The prospect of losing $100 is more painful than the prospect of winning $100 is pleasant. In general, this could be interpreted as an understanding that the mind is more pain-averse than it is pleasure-attracted. Prospect theory explains the mechanisms behind a number of cognitive biases such as Sunk-cost bias - our unwillingness to let go of things we've invested in. Some examples of prospect theory in action; Join the Premier International self-development community, and help us change the world.


This is primarily done to prevent low-frequency common impedance coupling (ground loops) and provide increased capacitive decoupling at higher frequencies. This reduces common impedance coupling and prevents the equipment and subsystem boxes and cable shields from acting like antennas. For every routed signal, we have to ensure that we have a proper return path that is located where we want it and that we don't obstruct already created paths, because signals sharing a part of the return path have common impedance coupling (energy coupled from one signal to the other). We need to establish where the path is and that it is not shared for two sensitive signals to avoid common impedance coupling between them. The LFM solid copper slug has significantly lower ground return inductance that reduces the common impedance coupling within the module.


Marples Hotel Tragedy Sheffield, vital to British armaments production because of its steel plants, was targeted on the night of December 12 1940 in a raid by 300 German bombers . But navigational errors led to the firebombs and high explosives being rained down on the city centre. Many in Sheffield 's city centre sought shelter in the substantial cellars beneath the Victorian hotel known as Marples Hotel (after its original owner) on Fitzalan Square. But at 11.44 a direct hit reduced the seven-storey structure to a pile of rubble less than 15 feet high. Seventy died in the cellars, though miraculously seven men were pulled alive from the debris the next day. More famous dates here 7988 views since 1st December 2008

by Andy May, December 14, 2017 in WUWT Hopefully, the first two posts in this series, “Do humans harm the environment” and “Population Growth and the Food Supply” have convinced the reader that man-made climate change and global warming are not an existential threat to humanity or the planet. This leaves us in a discussion of the cost of global warming, which is something we can calculate. To do the calculation, we need to estimate the monetary damages caused by global warming, when they will be incurred, and the discount rate of money over that period of time. We will not attempt the calculation here, it is too complex, but we can discuss the parameters and some of the calculations done by others.

The following lesson was taught in our children’s Sunday School classes on Sunday, January 4. We would encourage you to use the ideas below to review Sunday’s lesson with your family. God Ordains the Tabernacle Passage: Exodus 25–31 Principle: God has made a way for us to dwell with Him. Praise: “There Is a Redeemer” Prompt: Ask your child these questions: - What was the purpose of the tabernacle? - Who was allowed to go into the tabernacle? - What items were inside the tabernacle? - What does the tabernacle tell us about God? Practice: Help your child apply these truths in the following ways: - By recognizing his sinful condition. - By worshiping God in an honoring way. - By praising God that faith in Christ allows God’s Spirit to dwell in men. This Week: As a family, read Exodus 25–31. Next Week: Exodus 32 Memory Verses: “You shall not bear false witness…” Exodus 20:16a


A logic puzzle created by studiogiochi, improving and rationalizing existing games. Each space represents a room with doors in each side. Reconstruct the map of the “castle” closing (that is, blakening) some door; note that: • the numbers show how many other spaces you can “see” (diagonally, horizontally and vertically) from the space in which the number is placed; for example a 2 means that from that spaces you can see other 2 spaces in total. • from each room you can reach any other room, that is, there are not isolated rooms or groups of rooms.


Teddy Roosevelt like him. He was actually more read and admired in Britain than the USA because his theories, based on the development of British seapower, exactly fit the British attitude at the end of the 19th century. He was also widely read and admired by the Japanese and the Germans who set out to build battle fleets. We know the result. There has always been a very strong isolationist element in the USA which dislikes any kind of foreign involvement. That is because the USA is at one and the same time, both a continental power and a maritime power. This was never the case with Britain.

A reduction in road traffic and a switch to greener transport modes are needed to curb air pollution in towns and cities, as cleaner vehicles alone will not be sufficient to solve the problem, the French environment and health agency Anses has said. In a report on particulate matter (PM) pollution, the agency analysed emissions scenarios in French cities by 2025. Despite some positive results, Anses concluded that technological advances alone, such as increased use of particulate filters and a move away from diesel engines, will not lead to sufficient improvements in urban air quality.

Description: This model provides an example of using the Command Line Operator to plug programs not directly supported by Spatial Modeler Operators into a Model. The example shows a spatial model performing a reprojection process using the Command Line operator. Note that running a command generally requires input files and produces output files. Consequently, when used in a Command Line Operator, the Model has to produce a temporary file to input to the Operator and will need to write a file out. Hence the apparently “reversed” Raster Output and Raster Input operators around the Command Line operator. This pattern is really only required when embedding a Command Line operator into a larger Model process.


Pumas are among the least seen of earth’s big cats. Though they’re widely distributed from the Canadian Rockies to the southernmost Andes (and known alternatively as cougars or mountain lions), pumas have historically been thought of as too elusive for any sort of commercial tourism. That changed when a company called Quasar Expeditions, in partnership with Explora Patagonia, launched its first puma trekking safaris earlier this year in Chile’s famed Torres Del Paine National Park. The idea was to give wildlife enthusiasts the same opportunity to see pumas as they’d have with jaguars in Brazil, lions in Africa or tigers in India. Source: Puma safari in Chile – CNN.com


Birds were flying from continent to continent long before we were. They reached the coldest place on Earth, Antarctica, long before we did. They can survive in the hottest of deserts. Some can remain on the wing for years at a time. They can girdle the globe. Now, we have taken over the earth and the sea and the sky, but with skill and care and knowledge, we can ensure that there is still a place on Earth for birds in all their beauty and variety if we want to and surely, we should.


The children begin their journey in history learning about what has happened in their lives. Children study significant people and events from the past whilst developing their skills in asking and answering questions, thinking critically, using sources and developing an understanding of the diversity of people from different times. In Key Stage 2 the children continue their learning focusing on a specific period from the past, deepening their knowledge of chronology and applying their historical skills. At Mossgate Primary School Geography helps children to develop curiosity and fascination about the world. The children learn about their local environment, as well as a variety of diverse places around the world. The children develop their skills in map work and field work whilst gaining subject knowledge about the world and a range of societies and cultures.

The Jane Goodall Institute One of the biggest threats to chimpanzees and other Great Apes is the illegal mining of coltan, a mineral used in many mobile phones. Mining results in the clearing of essential habitat and drives the bush meat trade, further exacerbating the decline of Great Ape populations. The Jane Goodall Institute is committed to raising awareness of the connection between the demise of Great Apes and increase in mobile phone production. The Institute sees social justice, the environment and animal protection as interconnected issues. If we are going to protect animals, we also need to protect human communities and the ecosystems that support them.


Erected in 2000 to replace a statue of Lenin removed 10 years prior, Sveta Sofia stands tall, arms outstretched, golden-skinned and black-eyed, over Bulgaria’s representative centre. Though it bears the name Sveta Sofia the statue does not depict one individual, per se. Rather, she is a combination of figures. The two most commonly attributed are Sofia and Athena, both of Hellenistic origins. Both symbolize “Holy Wisdom” (or “Hagia Sofia”, the expression for which the city and its founding church were named), and the statue contains ancient vestiges of that concept: the crown, the laurel wreath, and the owl. She has also been a topic of debate among locals who bash the government for erecting a Sofia monument that actually has nothing to do with the Bulgarian city of Sofia or its history (as the city was named after the church Hagia Sofia).


11.4.2 Water ingress With the pressure control valves shut, a large build-up of condensation will occur in the steam lines. If this condensation were allowed to remain, water would be passed through the system when the valves are opened, resulting in damage to the valves and condenser. To avoid this build-up, drains are located at strategic positions, for example, in the busmain and upstream of each control valve shown in Fig 2.85. Drains are also present on the HP system of the fossil-fired plant shown in Fig 2.86 to prevent ingress of water from the spray water system.


Solve technical problems with math and science. Are you interested in high tech? Reach for a career as an engineer. Engineering is essentially solving problems by using science to design applications. It is practical and scientific. It differs from some of the other sciences – biology, chemistry, physics – but there is considerable crossover. Constructing straw towers or building and racing human-powered paper vehicles are just a couple of things you might find yourself doing as an HCC engineering student. Innovative teaching methods such as team building, design emphasis, project assignments, and creative problem solving are utilized extensively in the engineering curriculum.

Dexamfetamine sulfate (also spelt dexamphetamine sulphate, usually just called dexamfetamine) is a stimulant drug that is used to promote wakefulness and so reduce excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Dexamfetamine is supplied in a number of different forms, but for the treatment of narcolepsy is usually prescribed as a tablet. The tablets may have different strengths: 5mg, 10mg or 20mg. Usually, the overall daily dose is made up of two or more tablets, taken at intervals through the day. Because there is at present no cure for narcolepsy, the medication that is prescribed for the treatment of narcolepsy aims to control the major symptoms of the condition, particularly excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy.

Lionhead rabbits are one of the smaller breeds of rabbit. They are very fluffy, and as their name suggests they have a mane much like that of a lion! Lionhead rabbits generally tend to live between 5 and 9 years. Lionhead rabbits are incredibly social and playful animals which is why they are one of the most popular breeds of rabbit that are kept as pets. Rabbits in general have great hearing and vision which is used to protect themselves from predators in the wild. In the wild, rabbits live in burrows which are known as warrens. *Lilly is our Lionhead Rabbit. She has a great personality and loves having cuddles. Our Lionhead Rabbit is great for all types of events! Lily is especially good for school talks about prey animals.


Write It, a guided writing activity, accompanies every BrainPOP ELL lesson. As students progress through the units, the writing activities become more advanced. In early units, students practice writing letters and words. Later activities range from writing journal entries and friendly letters to informational and persuasive essays. Sometimes the writing prompts ask students to use the Read It activity as a model for their own writing.


Following the outbreak of World War 2, Year 6 were evacuated this week to Lincolnsfield due to the potential impact of the war on their lives. While away, the pupils have experienced life in a 1940s home, school in the 1940s (I loved the sound of Miss Collins and will be looking to employ her!), learnt how a mangle works, experienced a Morrison shelter and an Andersen shelter, listened to music on a gramophone, learnt about bathing in the 1940s, Dug for Victory, learnt about rationing and so much more. They met a gentleman who was evacuated age 6 and heard all about his experiences…he lived off sardines for dinner every night for 9 months! They also learnt how one could be imprisoned for using more than their rationed amount of sugar! It has been an amazing trip – truly immersive and a great learning opportunity.


Department of Chemistry, University of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK, 74104-3189, 918-631-3090 The design of a "washing" process for the removal and recovery of toxic metals from contaminated soil requires in-depth knowledge of the speciation of the metals. In addition to being present in their original forms (e.g. oxides particulates emitted by a smelter), the contaminating metals may come to be associated with a variety of solid phases commonly present in the soil. A sequential chemical extraction procedure has been used to characterize lead and cadmium speciation in soil collected in the vicinity of a zinc smelter that was in operation for 70 years. soil, lead, cadmium, speciation This paper is from the Proceedings of the 10th Annual Conference on Hazardous Waste Research 1995, published in hard copy and on the Web by the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain Hazardous Substance Research Center.

Glutamic acid (Glu, E or glutamate) is one of the 22 amino acids of which proteins are made. Structure of glutamic acid Like all amino acids, glutamic acid has two functional groups: a carboxyl group (COOH) and an amine group (NH2). It has the following side chain: -CH2-CH2-COOH. It is therefore a dicarboxylic polar acid amino acid. Function of glutamic acid As glutamic acid can be synthesised by the body from alpha-ketoglutarate, it is not an essential amino acid. Glutamic acid is the most widely found neurotransmitter in the body. Glutamic acid is an amino acid and also an important neuromediator (carbon in black, oxygen in red, nitrogen in blue and hydrogen in white). © Photohound, public domain


Treatment/Milk: Pasteurized raw Sheep El Trigal Manchego is named for the Spanish region of La Mancha, also home of Don Quixote. The cheese is produced in the La Mancha region from pasteurised sheep's milk. It has a black gray or buff coloured rind with a crosshatch pattern, the paste colour is stark white when young, becomes yellowish as it ages. The fully aged cheese is usually smeared with olive oil and surface mould is removed. The cheese has holes throughout the paste with a mild, slightly briny, nutty flavour. It is sold at various stages of maturity: at the age of 13 weeks it is described as curado (cured) and, when over three months old it is referred to as viejo (aged). There is a peppery bite to cheeses that have reached a great age. It is best known of a series of sheep's cheeses and is similar to Zamorano, Cadiz, Calahora or Castelleno.


Very early on young children can already make the difference between males and females, and by age 3 they know their own gender. The best way adults can help support children’s gender development is by: - Exposing them to various types of feminine and masculine toys and activities and to counter-stereotypic models (ex. policewomen, male nurses). - Creating play environments well suited for either boys or girls. - Avoiding gender-stereotyped comments and by challenging children’s biases and gender stereotypes. - Making sure children have plenty of opportunities to interact with and learn from boys and girls through mixed-gender activities. - Letting young children explore other roles.


“Until the formation of the Docks, Millbay, being practically valueless, was not considered in the local municipal and parochial arrangements” (RN Worth History of Plymouth 1890). It would appear therefore that Millbay, for some time, existed independently of the Three Towns. Certainly it was the last of the inner harbours of what we now know as modern Plymouth to be developed, however once underway, progress was very swift. Such is not to say it was devoid of development entirely, before that time, after all the mill and mill dam that occasioned the name “Millbay” were created in the Middle Ages. The area of land that we refer to as Millbay however, as distinct from the inlet and harbour itself, is essentially an area of reclaimed land that was in past times known as Surepool or the Sourpool, doubtless on account of the marshy ground and stagnant water.


Psalm 2:12. "Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him". The second part of this verse explains what the first part means. Thus "To kiss the son", means 'to put ones trust in him". This verse is a prophetic verse, pointing to the importance of putting ones trust in Jesus. Prophetic verses does not need to have contemporary context, although this verse could have derived from some pagan worship, with the promised future messiah, the "Son", replacing the name of a contemporary pagan deity. Christmas and Easter have been claimed to be Christenized pagan holidays. The former substituting worship of the Roman sun-God 'Sol Invictus', and the latter worship of the old English deity Ēostre.

Recently, another idea has been discussed. Just as withdrawing groundwater can cause subsidence, injecting water can reverse it. It’s not entirely a two-way street—much of the pore space lost during compaction can’t be recovered—but increased pore pressure can begin to unpack the sediment. Injection was used successfully in Long Beach, California in the late 1950s to halt subsidence caused by oil and gas extraction as well as groundwater usage. La solución no es evacuar agua, sino introducirla. Curioso, to say the least.

Our first ECO project of the year is now drawing to a close. All the children have been both fascinated yet shocked to learn about the harmful effects of plastic pollution. The ECO team have been raising awareness of the damage caused to our environment and wildlife when we do not recycle our plastic waste. Sea creatures such as turtles, fish, seals and birds our dying because of either becoming trapped in, or eating, the plastic rubbish found in our oceans and everyone at Rise Park is committed to making a positive change before it is too late. Every child in the school has recycled a plastic bottle and reused it to create a beautiful flower to decorate our sensory garden. Now, every time we look at our fence of flowers, we will be reminded of those precious sea creatures, whose lives have been saved by the dedication of the Recycling Riseparkers!


21 MAY 1946: Seventy years ago today, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was the first European airline postwar to launch scheduled services to the United States with the arrival of a KLM Douglas DC-4 at New York Idlewild Airport (today's JFK Airport). The aircraft was PH-TAR "Rotterdam". After the end of the Second World War, KLM's long-haul fleet consisted of former military Douglas C-54 Skymasters, the military transport derivative of the DC-4. To augment this fleet, right after the war, KLM ordered four DC-4s and PH-TAR was one of these four aircraft. It was delivered to KLM on 12 April 1946 and flew the first US services just five weeks later. |PH-TAR "Rotterdam" arrives in New York City| (KLM Royal Dutch Airlines) This newsreel clip is in Dutch, but the images are wonderful even for us non-Dutch speakers!

Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman. The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman’s celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world. The author does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise. Audiobook running time: 19:16:02

The block points its sprite to the specified value - this changes the sprite's direction. Besides inputing the wanted number, there is a small drop-down menu with the common numbers: There has been some confusion involving the number system due to the fact that 0 is straight up, rather than off to the right (the default direction), and that it uses a -180 to 180 circle rather than a normal 360 degree circle - but so far no changes have been made. - Flipping a sprite - Rotating a sprite - If a variable is used to decide the direction, the sprite can point towards an important goal in the project.

During inerting, air and the oxygen it contains is displaced by an inert gas. Inert gases are gases which are very unreactive, such as, for example, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, as well as all noble gases. Many oils and fats, including butter and products containing fat such as nuts, tend to exhibit losses in quality through auto-oxidation when coming into contact with oxygen. Storing these products under an inert gas protects from losses in quality, increases oxidation stability and improves ageing resistance. Inerting with nitrogen to protect the product. - Protection from losses in quality - Longer shelf-life - Simple to install - Low investment costs Messer has many years of know-how in the field of inerting and provides the gases required. Experienced application engineers advise on the selection of the appropriate inerting process and its integration into customer processes.

How we do what we do We start with a curated set of data that model climate and ecosystem interactions. Then we generate locally relevant data and project possible environmental conditions for Alaska under different climate scenarios. Our models describe possible futures under sets of assumptions known as scenarios. They help manage uncertainty when planning for the future. We make projections, not predictions. Our model projections describe what may happen under the influence of assumptions such as higher temperatures or increases in wildfire.


The green toad grows up to 12 centimetres long and has rough and mottled skin that is whitish grey with olive-green patches. The female is larger than the male. It has large glands behind the eyes and horizontal pupils. Common in lowland areas and dry and sandy habitats, it may also be encountered in hilly and even mountainous regions. The largest populations live by the sea among sand dunes and also in prairies. It can be found in Central Europe and the Mediterranean islands as well as western Asia and Asia Minor. The female lays between 2,000 and 15,000 eggs, which are arranged in cords up to 7 metres in length. It hibernates in the ground. It feeds on invertebrates such as insects, worms and slugs, and is protected from predators by the toxicity of its skin.


FPGA, or Field Programmable Gate Array, is an often overlooked category of mining hardware. They use a series of gate arrays that create truth tables to calculate inputs from a data stream, and output a desired result. The advantage of FPGA’s is that they excel at parallel processes. Hashing in parallel makes them more efficient than GPUs for mining. The challenge is that they need to be configured and programmed manually. This requires a specific skill set, and it’s the reason they don’t get the same attention as GPUs and ASICs.


Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon and its compounds. These compounds are called organic molecules. Organic molecules constitute the chemical bricks of life. Fats, sugars, proteins, and the nucleic acids are compounds in which the principal component is carbon. So are countless substances that we take for granted in everyday use. All the clothes that we wear, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, shampoos, deodorants, perfumes, contain organic compounds

Leaders in Technology: our junior elementary students are provided with iPads to use interactively with smart boards at school, and all homework and assignments are conducted through the online medium Google docs.


At P2PU, people work together to learn a particular topic by completing tasks, assessing individual and group work, and providing constructive feedback. This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem. The Common Core State Standards suggest that writing must live across all disciplines. Let's explore that idea. The Common Core State Standards suggest that writing must live across all disciplines. This course is an exploration of what that might look like. Through conversation, reading, and writing together, participants in this course, developed in partnership with the National Writing Project, will explore what it means to write deeply across the disciplines as a way of learning, as well as what it might mean to ask students to write for a discipline.


The Basic Cube Can Become The Basis For An Endless Variety Of Objects And So Can The Basic Brick Shape - Look Around And See The ties of the railroad and the black lines of the structure at the right are parallel to the picture plane; therefore they do not converge. The rails and the fancy lines of the structure are perpendicular to the picture plane; therefore they do converge, and since the observer's central visual ray points exactly in their direction, their vanishing point must be in the center of the picture. This is one-point perspective. Now look at the suitcase. Both sets of its horizontal lines are oblique to the picture plane; therefore they converge to left and right. The observer (top view) points in their direction to locate their vanishing points. This is two-point perspective. Was this article helpful?


The number of pixels in an image. Resolution is expressed in terms of the width and height of the image in pixels (for example, 640 x 360 pixels). Higher-resolution images contain more detail but also create larger files that take longer to download. Your electronic devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and so on) also have screen resolution. Ideally, you should match the image resolution of your media to the resolution of your playback device.


What is the IRS and what do they do? The IRS stands for the Internal Revenue Service and it stands as the official revenue service of the United States Federal Government. They are a bureau of the Department of Treasury and their sole priorities are to collect taxes from U.S. citizens, as well as administering the IRC (Internal Revenue Code). The IRS is responsible for issuing tax brackets, the collection of money, creating tax regulations, and pretty much everything else that has to do with taxes. They are the key provider for the United States Government. Their actions allow Congress to create budgets and perform government spending with the money collected by the IRS. Obviously, nobody is a fan of taxes; however, taxes are required to maintain a stable infrastructure within a nation, and a lot of that is because of the IRS.


Measure for Measure—Is This Comedy? Lecture no. 20 from the course: How to Read and Understand Shakespeare Taught by Professor Marc C. Conner | 30 min | Categories: The Great Courses Plus Online Literature & Language Courses With Measure for Measure, you enter the world of Shakespeare’s “problem plays”—dramas that seem neither truly comic nor tragic. Here, observe how Shakespeare creates Vienna, the play’s setting, as a place of hypocrisy, deception, and trickery, where nothing is what it seems and all the tenets of comedy are subverted.


This seems to be a chicken and egg problem, the sun begins shining due to hydrogen becoming helium, but it's odd that there was no helium initially without the stars. Is my logic flawed? (Note: First year astronomy student) The Big Bang theory predicts that (depending what assumptions you choose) the initial elements were formed from 10 seconds to 20 minutes after the Big Bang. The initial elements were some helium-3 and helium-4 a little lithium-7 a couple of unstable isotopes that decayed to lithium-7 or helium-3. As the linked Wikipedia article says Essentially all of the elements that are heavier than lithium and beryllium were created much later, by stellar nucleosynthesis in evolving and exploding stars. So the answer to your question is: the Helium came first.


DISTRIBUTION: North Africa, now regarded as extinct in the wild. DIET: Grasses and plants with a high water and protein content. NOTES: This species is one the best adapted big animal to dry, hot climate. Using a special cooling system in their nose, which allows them to survive with a higher body temperature , they can also survive some months without drinking, only taking water out of the plants they eat. They are now being successfully bred in captivity and are slow being re introduced into the wild.

The Digital Literacy Framework For Canadian Schools Published and distributed by Media Smarts. This is a massive resource for anyone interested in digital literacy. Educators, administrators, and parents should all have an understanding of digital literacy. As more technology is in front of our students, more work is being done outside the classroom and on the Internet. It is important for everyone to understand what that means. When you visit a website, how is data being collected? How is your data being turned into advertisements? What does anonymous mean online? What is public, what is private? What is a good password? How do you keep digital information secure? It is a new way of thinking and learning that we need to understand. Less and less of what we produce is physical. It is digital code stored on a server.


Media and its role in the lives of children and adolescents is an ongoing area of research for the Annenberg Public Policy Center. Over the years, the Center has examined media policies and their impact, including: program ratings, closed captioning, the V-Chip technology, and food/beverage marketing. The sector has focused its research on the effects of media on children’s educational, social, and physical well-being. Through research, conferences, seminars, and meetings, the Center creates a forum for bringing together policy-makers, industry, scholars, and educators to inform best practices to increase the positive role of media in the life of the developing child. In "Kids' TV Grows Up," former APPC professional-in-residence Jo Holz looks at the evolution of children's programming from Howdy Doody to SpongeBob SquarePants.


CO2 and the built environment - The positive role of concrete When it comes to CO2, the use phase of a building has a very important role to play. Buildings are responsible for 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU and 40% of energy consumption. When looking at the whole life cycle of a building (including material production and construction), the use phase (heating, cooling, lighting etc.) often accounts for up to 80% of the CO2 emitted. This is where concrete can make a very positive contribution, as its durability, thermal mass and air tightness qualities help to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

A team of researchers at Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology have developed a solar paint that can absorb water vapor and split it to get generate Hydrogen, the cleanest source of energy on earth. While this is unconventional use of solar power, the outcome proves to be much cleaner energy and a fraction of the footprint involved with solar power. Now that Tesla has developed roofing tiles or “solar roof shingles” that double as solar panels, the find by RMIT redefines energy consumption on a global scale considering all that’s needed to make power is a roof and walls, something most people on the planet are already surrounded with. Now that’s POWERFUL! Curious about energy of the future? Here’s a treat…


Packet filtering helps control packet movement through the network, as shown in Figure B-8. Such control can help limit network traffic and restrict network use by certain users or devices. To permit packets to cross or deny packets from crossing specified router interfaces, Cisco provides access lists.

Ritual and ceremonial masks are an essential feature of the traditional culture of the peoples of a part of Sub-Saharan Africa. This masks usually have a spiritual and religious meaning and they are used in ritual dances and social and religious events. In most cases, mask-making is an art that is passed on from father to son, along with the knowledge of the symbolic meanings conveyed by such masks. The person who wears a ritual mask conceptually loses his or her human life and turns into the spirit represented by the mask itself. In the 20th century, artistic movements such as cubism, fauvism and expressionism have often taken inspiration from the vast and diverse heritage of African masks. - Material: painted wood


0xcert is a protocol for attesting and validating issuers of non-fungible tokens. There are many different protocols, applications, and companies trying to bring real-world assets and certifications to the blockchain. Yet, there is no clear consensus on how to validate the legitimacy of the minted tokens. For example, there’s no way to ensure that the issuer has a right to mint identity tokens on Ethereum. As public blockchains are permissionless, anyone can create such tokens, yet only tokens created by a legit identity provider will be valuable. 0xcert creates a standard for certified non-fungible tokens, Xcerts. Developers can interact with this standard via an SDK and high-level APIs. Additionally, 0xcert is going to create a decentralized registry of authentic issuers.


In his fourteen points, Wilson supported the right of peoples to govern themselves, the transparency of diplomacy, freedom of travel and commerce etc... and provided for the creation of an international body, the League of Nations, tasked with monitoring compliance with these resolutions. The 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson Created shortly after the war, the League of Nations agreement contained disarmament clauses which had a significant influence on the production of French military equipment between the wars. Initially given a cool reception, Wilson's text however formed the basis for the Treaty of Versailles and demonstrated the growing role of the United States on the international scene.

Definition - What does Brut mean? "Brut" is a french word that means uncut, rough or raw. The term relates to the natural or raw state in which a champagne or sparkling wine is bottled. Brut wines are considered the driest in nature because they are treated with very little to no amount of additional sweetness in form of sugar. The term Brut can be defined as a style associated with the level of sweetness in a sparkling wine. WineFrog explains Brut The term Brut is applied to champagne and sparkling wines, which are quite dry (less sweet) and acidic in nature. This signature style of adding no sugar to the wine was pioneered in the mid-1900s by the well-known champagne House of Perrier-Jouët. Nowadays, champagne and sparkling wines are made in a wide variety of styles ranging from very sweet to intensely dry, with bottle labels indicating to what's inside as Brut, Extra Brut, Sec etc.

This rainbow craft-tivity works well when children are learning about Noah’s Ark, and it’s a very simple project to prepare and make. To prepare, cut coffee filters in half so that you have semi-circles. Have children decorate half of a coffee filter with washable markers. Make sure the markers are washable or water-based so the colors will “bleed” or spread when water is added. Place small cups of water around the table for children to share and give each child an eye dropper. Have children use the dropper to drop “rain” over the coffee filter, and watch the colors blend together to make beautiful rainbows. Some children get carried away with the water drops, so make sure children don’t wash away all of their color with water.

The governor of Wisconsin excitedly announced the theme of this year’s holiday tree: “Celebrate Science.” In a letter to schools, he asked students to make ornaments “showcasing science in Wisconsin.” He added: “Science is so critically important to understanding and appreciating the world around us and each other. ” I wonder if he has ever read the works of Father Stanley Jaki. A man of theology and science, Jaki contends that the Incarnation is critical to the birth of science. It is because of Christmas that we can celebrate science. Some claim it was easy for scientists of the past to remain Christian. The field was still in its infancy. Knowing all that we know now makes it almost impossible for present-day scientists to believe in God. How, then, to explain Father Jaki? He is a contemporary who died only a decade ago.


Cirrus clouds - good weather These wispy Cirrus clouds were photographed high above Utah. The word cirrus means "hair curl" in Latin. These high, thin clouds can stretch for miles, thus the name "mare's tails". These clouds are found up to 7 miles high in the sky, where temperatures can be as low as -80 degrees F. Cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals, they do not make rain. This type of cloud can be a precursor to coming rain in 1 - 2 days, depending on the direction of the wind.


A unique device This system is a compromise between the laboratory and the natural environment as it is designed to recreate the effects of several environmental parameters (water temperature, wind speed, sunshine, surface agitation). It is the first experimental tool to characterise the transfer of a product from the surface to the atmosphere and aquatic environment. To quickly obtain answers to the following questions: - Which compartments are affected (air, sea surface, water column or sediment)? - What are the transfer kinetics in each compartment? - Which is the predominant process? - To what risks are the response teams exposed?

EXAMPLES FROM THE WEB FOR STITCH "Now at last I am ready," she said, as she finished her first stitch. You reckermember my old sayin', don't you, 'a stitch in time saves nine'? He measured these round his waist, and then began to stitch them together, slowly and laboriously. May stopped in the middle of a stitch, and stared at him with something akin to dismay. I had a stitch in my side, and both Harold's stockings had come down. I was goin' to stitch that blue stripe on the left leg on again. The needle is to be brought out at the corner of the stitch, nearest to that you are about to make. The engraving will give a better idea of this stitch than any description we could give. You knit the first stitch, and pass the other to make a loop over the needle. This process is repeated in every stitch to the end of the row.

Newspapsers.com, part of the Ancestry family of companies, has a blog, Fishwrap. They posted a story about the destruction of the US 1890 census destruction. While many of us may be aware that virtually all of it was destroyed, by two different fires we may not be aware and Congress decades later ordered the destruction of the damaged records. The 1890 census was the first US census to gather data on a separate schedule for each family, including questions about race, immigration and naturalization, the number of children born and living and service related to the Civil War.

Peripheral Arterial Disease Leg circulation is a serious medical problem called Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) otherwise referred to as Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD). PAD is a serious vascular condition involving a buildup of plaque within the peripheral arteries of the legs and feet. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrous tissue, and other substances in the blood, and can accumulate as a result of several different factors. The buildup of plaque can severely narrow or block the arteries and limit the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your body. PAD usually affects the legs, but also can affect the arteries that carry blood from your heart to your head, arms, and kidneys. At ProActive Heart & Vein Center we offer advanced treatment to relieve symptoms and treat PAD.

The children explored the Arctic and Antarctica. They had great fun learning about the animals and people who live in the Polar Lands. During our topic the children participated in various experiments. The children were given the opportunity to make predictions, carry out experiments and record their experiments just like real scientists. We used hot water to investigate how penguins keep warm and which material would be the warmest and should be worn by Polar explorers like Captain Scott. Check out our pictures below.


National Gypsum Company Workers Exposed to Asbestos In 1925, National Gypsum was founded and it introduced the world to a new type of wallboard - lighter and stronger. In short time, the company grew beyond expectations acquiring different other companies and gaining access to different gypsum mines. By purchasing other companies, they expanded their product line, in some cases, with asbestos containing products and materials. They eventually stopped using asbestos by the year 1970, but, until then, their products affected the people working in the construction industry that inevitably interacted with these.


Stellar Photos Of Earth Taken From Space Antarctica is located in the Antarctic area in the Southern Hemisphere. It is southernmost continent on Earth and is the geographical South Pole. Area wise, it happens to be the fifth largest continent. Almost 98% of this region is covered with ice with an average of a minimum of 1.9 kilometres in thickness. It is the driest, windiest, and coldest continent on earth with the greatest average elevation as compared to all the other continents. Only organisms adapted to cold can survive such as certain varieties of algae, fungi, bacteria, protista, plants, and animals, like mites, nematodes, seals, tardigrades, and penguins.

Nassau’s most visited attraction is the Queen’s Staircase. Climb the 65 steps, recently renovated, carved out of solid limestones by slaves in the late 18th century, between 1793 and 1794. It is reported that slaves were forced to cut through rocks with axes and other sharp hand tools. This 102 foot staircase was named in honour of the 65 years of Queen’s Victoria’s reign. Construction of this monument is still regarded as remarkable. For practical purposes, the staircase provides a shorter route to and form Bennet’s Hill.


Strayed Pangolin caught in Jajpur Villagers spotted the rare animal and captured it in a gunny bag before informing forest department officials on Sunday. forest officials took the animal from the locals. . "The Indian Pangolin or Manis Crassicaudata is protected under Schedule 1 of the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Pangolin might look fearsome, but in reality it is shy, harmless creature. We need to educate people about some of this rarer species," said Sarat Chandra Sahu, Bayree Ranger. The rare nocturnal mammal was safe and released into the Nalida jungle in the presence of animal lovers and social activists, said Sahu adding that it was 3 feet in length and weighed more than ten kg.

Lots of paper is folded in elementary schools. “Hamburger-style” is when a piece of rectangular paper is folded in half like this: “Hot-dog-style” looks like this: To open a beer with a single sheet of paper, use this folding nomenclature and the following instructions. It’s so easy, even a 2nd-grader can do it. (Please do not teach this method to 2nd-graders.) Use whatever paper you have around: typing, grocery bag, or even used shooting target. You’ll need a piece that is about 8.5×11″ in size. The last hamburger-style fold will be tough, but muscle it. Hold the beer in one hand and the paper in the other. Using your thumb as a fulcrum, pry up the cap with the paper.


Solar Water Heaters Solar water heating (SWH) is the conversion of sunlight into heat for water heating using a solar thermal collector. A variety of configurations are available at varying cost to provide solutions in different climates and latitudes. SWHs are widely used for residential and some industrial applications. A sun-facing collector heats a working fluid that passes into a storage system for later use. SWH are active (pumped) and passive (convection-driven). They use water only, or both water and a working fluid. They are heated directly or via light-concentrating mirrors. They operate independently or as hybrids with electric or gas heaters. In large-scale installations, mirrors may concentrate sunlight onto a smaller collector.


A baby lamb is separated from its family. Somehow, in vast herds of sheep that look virtually identical, the lost youngling locates its kin. Salmon swim out to the vast expanses of the sea and migrate back home to their precise spawning grounds with bewildering accuracy. Scientists have long known about such animal kinship attachments, some known as “imprinting,” but the mechanisms underlying them have been hidden in a black box at the cellular and molecular levels. Now biologists at the University of California San Diego have unlocked key elements of these mysteries, with implications for understanding social attraction and aversion in a range of animals and humans.


Pattani was a seat of the Sailendra power during the Sailendra domination of the Malay Peninsula and later was the center of a Malay state, which was drawn into the Thai orbit. With Ayutthaya , it was one of the first places in Siam opened to the Portuguese in the 16th cent. At first bound only by tenuous links of suzerainty to the courts of Ayutthaya and Bangkok, against which it was several times in revolt, the Pattani sultanate was annexed in 1902. The region has been the scene of attacks by Malay separatists (in the 1970s and 80s and again in the early 21st cent.). The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

The following passage appears in a chapter of a textbook on Religious and Moral Education. The subject is required among all schoolchildren between the ages of 5 and 18. “The Importance of the Rainbow: It is the symbol of God’s promise to mankind. It shows God’s purpose for the earth. It is also a sign of God’s love for mankind. It reminds people that God will not destroy the earth and water again. It helps man to realize real existence of his creator.”


What is retinoblastoma? Retinoblastoma is a rare, highly curable intraocular cancer of young children. It arises in the retina, hence its name. Over 95% of cases occur before the age of 5 years and can affect one or both eyes. Because the affected child is often too young to be aware of visual problems, cases often go undetected for some time, however retinoblastoma is highly curable if it has not progressed beyond the eye.

Numbness of the tongue, in addition to tingling, results from consuming certain medications, substances or toxins; trauma or injury to the tongue; or imbalanced vitamins and minerals. Numbness and tingling can occur as a result of damage to the nervous system. The ingestion of certain substances such as some alcohols, medications and narcotics can cause numbness of the tongue with only a short-term effect, explains HealthHype.com. Anesthesia used in dental practices cause this sensation, too. In the case of tongue injury, numbness sometimes presents along with pain, and can result from burning the tongue, biting it or consuming a large amount of acidic or alkaline foods. An excess of calcium, sodium or potassium, or a deficiency of vitamin B12 sometimes causes tongue numbness, notes HealthHype.com.


An encroachment exists when a structure from one property extends over the property line of another property. Perhaps a garage roof overhangs a neighbor’s property line, a retaining wall crosses the neighbor’s property line or a driveway is paved a few inches past the boundary line. All are examples of encroachments. The existence of an encroachment is usually confirmed with a boundary line survey. Results of such a survey are usually recorded as a matter of public record and become attached to the title of the offending property. A property owner whose lot is being encroached upon may insist that the encroaching structure be altered or removed. It is also common to grant easements or boundary line adjustments to clear up encroachment disputes.

Introduction to PHP This document is a brief introduction to PHP, one of the most useful features of people.emich.edu. According to php.net, "PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML." Simply put, it is software that runs on the web server, and allows you to embed code into your web pages to make them more dynamic. PHP stands for "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor". While PHP can be used to construct elaborate web applications, even non-programmers can utilize PHP to enhance their web pages. This document is written with casual web masters in mind, and only scratches the surface of PHP's capabilities. Next: Getting Started


An endangered loggerhead sea turtle named Adelita makes an epic 7,000 mile, 368 day journey from Baja California, Mexico to Japan. Her route passed directly through the Pacific Plastiscape (aka "Great Pacific Garbage Patch"). She was the first animal ever be tracked swimming across an entire ocean. She was tracked between August 1996 and August 1997. Learn more about plastic pollution in the ocean in The Plastic Age, a film with Pharrell Williams.


A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is how virtually all electronics are constructed these days. PCBs are usually made from copper plated fiberglass where the desired circuit is etched into the copper and then the various components are soldered on. Another term is Printed Wire Board, which means the same thing. The term has fallen out of use today. PCB material is also used for ties in handlaid track. When used in such an application a cut must be made in the copper foil to break the circuit. If not, the layout will short when power is applied to the track. This will mean hours finding the culprit and correcting the issue. Turnouts laid using PCB ties can be particularly troublesome in this respect.


Photophon Aernoudt Jacobs Jan 2013 - Sep 2013 Aernoudt Jacobs is doing research on the photoacoustic effect (in collaboration with KUL, Acoustics Lab) for the installation photophon. The photoacoustic effect is based on the phenomena of radiant energy. A strong light source can be converted into an acoustic wave due to absorption and thermal excitation. When rapid pulses of light are projected onto a sample of matter, they can be absorbed and the resulting energy will be radiated as heat. This causes sound waves due to pressure variations. The photoacoustic effect was discovered by Alexander Graham Bell in his search for a means of wireless communication. photophon is produced by Intro in situ and opens in Maastricht in September 2013 and is part of Resonance, the European Sound Art Network.


Intimate partner violence goes on within a relationship. It comprises a number of acts, words, and behaviours committed by one partner on the other, which affects that person's physical, mental or sexual state. The abuser is intending to exert power and domination over the other, and the abused person feels coercion and danger. All types of relationships can be affected (heterosexual, married or unmarried, LGBTQ). These forms of violence can impact people of all situations, from the wealthy to the disadvantaged, young or old, Swiss or foreign.


Southern Africa, comprising of Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe is a region with significant unfulfilled agricultural potential. It has a population of more than 120 million people, with 40 to 80% being generally poor and food insecure except in South Africa and Botswana. Agro-ecologically, Central Africa contains important rainfall gradients with maxima in the Congo basin moving towards semi-arid areas north and south although most of the region has lengths of growing period of more than 210 days. As a result, the most prominent farming systems are forest-based, root crop systems, cereal-root crop systems, and tree crop systems with many people living within highland perennial systems.

Downton, A. (2015). Links between multiplicative structures and the development of multiplicative thinking. 217-224. Australia: Proceedings of the 39th Conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education. This paper presents the findings of one aspect of a study that investigated Grade 3 students ' development of multiplicative thinking. Of particular interest was the extent to which students could successfully perform on tasks relating to different semantic structures and the influence of each structure on their strategy choice. The findings suggest that Grade 3 students are capable of solving problems relating to the different semantic structures and many do so using multiplicative strategies. Access may be restricted.


Achieve optimal sleep: Avoid caffeine, alcohol, tobacco before bed Stimulants or depressants that are ingested or inhaled can make it more difficult to fall asleep Oversleeping or sleeping through an alarm is not a waking-up problem. Oversleeping is a going-to-bed problem. Sleep can help you learn better and faster, reduce the risk of error and injury, and perform at your best. The consequences of oversleeping and being late to work can include discipline, demotion, expulsion or termination. It is important to avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco use before bed, as stimulants or depressants ingested or inhaled, in the hours before going to bed, can make it more difficult to fall asleep.


If Untreated…Rodents are often adaptive enough to live close with man, where they can cause minor to severe damage. This damage can be structural to a home with nesting behaviors. The constant growth of a rodent’s teeth throughout its life requires them to consistently maintain this growth by chewing on wiring, drywall, and internal structural components of a home or business. In most cases the rodents are a constant problem throughout the year, but certain times of the year are more problematic. Colder weather often escalates the problem, when these rodents begin to seek shelter and warmth. Being that most rodents are omnivores, there are a myriad of options for them to feed, and a food source will keep them around. Rodents are often very consistent in their behaviors including the use of the same paths throughout a home or business.
