The Three-wattled Bellbird (Pájaro Campana) Biological Corridor is a multi-institutional initiative which seeks to connect critical Pacific-slope habitat between the Monteverde Reserve Complex along the continental divide (~1800m) and coastal mangroves on the Gulf of Nicoya (sea level), thus enhancing important altitudinal migratory routes for several species of concern. Click here to visit the Corridor's official website (Spanish only). The Corridor encompasses an area of 66,416 hectares (164,048 acres) and follows three parallel watersheds: Río Aranjuez, Río Guacimal and Río Lagartos. To date, the initiative has been led by seven local conservation organizations (see list below) and is officially recognized by the National Biological Corridor Program. Currently, partners of the CBPC Council are implementing a 24-month project funded by the GEF-Small Grants Program to:


A hip strain occurs when one of the muscles supporting the hip joint is stretched beyond its limit or torn. Strains may be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the injury. A severe strain can limit your ability to move your hip. Anyone can experience a hip strain just doing everyday tasks, but strains most often occur during sports activities. A hip strain can be an acute injury, meaning that it occurs suddenly, such as from a fall or a direct blow during contact sports. Hip strains are also caused by overuse when the muscle or tendon has slowly become weakened over time by repetitive movements. A muscle strain causes pain and tenderness in the injured area. Other hip strain symptoms may include: Copyright ©2019 Regenerative Spine and Pain Institute. All Rights Reserved.


Banc d’Arguin National Park on the Mauritanian coast is a jewel in West Africa’s conservation crown. Vast mudflats, sand banks, seagrass meadows and mangroves support an abundance of life, sheltering over two million wintering shorebirds, of which a majority of waders from northern Europe, Siberia and Greenland. A mild climate and minimal human disturbance make the park one of the most important sites in the world for different Palearctic and Afrotropical bird species. Huge flocks of waders coming from the North fly over the site during their migration and mix with other species which breed there, such as the Royal and Caspian tern, the Western Reef Heron, the Banc d’Arguin spoonbill and the Great white pelican. Sea turtles and dolphins call it home, while several shark and ray species breed in the Banc d’Arguin.


Reaching New Heights with Ambiguous Rockets The height of a rocket is modeled with respect to time by taking into account its thrust, the rate at which its mass changes, and assuming that it flies straight up. Several simplifying assumptions are made, namely; thrust, force due to gravity and the change in mass with respect to time are all constant, and that drag is negligible.


Plato and Aristoteles, the 2 most known Greek philosophers. This relief is made after the centre part of the famous Rafaël fresco “the School of Athens”. Rafaël painted it in 1510/1511 for the library of pope Julius II. PLATO AND ARISTOTELES Plato points his finger upwards to the brainchild world while holding in his other hand the book TIMAEUS. Aristoteles gestures downwards to the earth which we can see and from which we can learn. He holds the book ETHICA in his hand, in which he poses that we can increase our happiness by being intellectually active. Also the POLITICA writings are from his hand.

We've all heard about the Convention on Biological Biodiversity (the CBD), and it sounds super fancy, but what is it really? I could tell you that it was born out of the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, and officially came into being in 1993. I could tell you that it's building blocks were starting to be put into place in 1987- maybe even further back in 1972. At the end of the day however, to understand what the CBD is, all you need is one word: Treaty. The CBD is an international UN treaty tasked with creating national strategies that conserve biodiversity, promote the sustainable use of biodiversity, and share, in a fair and equitable way, the benefits that arise from genetic resources. Like I said though, it's a treaty- the CBD is an international treaty concerned with biological diversity. Blogs are written by ELB members who want to share their stories about Ontario's biodiversity.

“This study adds to the evidence that omega-3 is a potential nutrient to protect against skin cancer. Although the changes we found when someone took the oil were small, they suggest that a continuous low level of chemoprevention from taking omega-3 could reduce the risk of skin cancer over an individual’s lifetime,” states Professor Lesley Rhodes, Professor of Experimental Dermatology. Omega-3 is not a substitute for sunscreen and physical protection. It should be regarded as an additional small measure to help protect skin from sun damage. The Photobiology Unit Dermatology Centre at the University analyzed the effect of taking omega-3 on 79 healthy volunteers. - Engredea News & Analysis


Russell Clark's painting shows New Zealand minesweeper HMNZS Kiwi operating in the Solomon Islands on 30 January 1943. On that day the Kiwi and its fellow minesweeper Moa sank a Japanese submarine. The Kiwi was damaged and the Moa was later sunk. New Zealand's two cruisers, the Achilles and Leander, also took part in naval operations in the Solomon Islands and were both heavily damaged. Russell Clark did not become an official war artist until 1944, and in February of that year he joined the 3rd division in the Pacific – so this work was clearly produced in retrospect.

The early symptoms of Lyme disease that involve the heart are palpitations, chest pain, dizziness and passing out. It can occur as soon as one week after the tick bite. Some patients may develop chronic inflammation of the sack around the heart (pericardium). This can cause sharp chest pains that increase with deep breaths or lying down. Over time the pericardium can thinken and adhere to the heart muscle. This can cause swelling in the lower extremities, abdomen and sometimes lightheadedness, shortness of breath and exercise intolerance. 87% of the patients that develop Lyme carditis also have some degree of AV block. Lyme disease can also invade and inflame the heart muscle, resulting in myocarditis. This can lead to muscle weakening and abnormally fast heart rhythms.


Edwin Drake struck oil on September 27 in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in this video clip from This Day In History. This would become the first successful oil well drilled in America. Russ Mitchell recaps other events occurring on this day as well. The Mariner 2 was launched by the US on September 27 to fly past Venus, and MIT researchers announced that they made a breakthrough in biotechnology by implanting a synthetic gene into a living cell. Also, a series of volcanic eruptions tore the Indonesian island of Krakatau apart.


Processing: Cellular Automata A cellular automaton means a cell that changes its status according to its adjacent cells. Take the Conway's Game of Life rule as an example. If a cell is dead and three of its neighbors are alive, it jumps into life. If a cell is alive, it stays alive only if it has two or three living neighbors. This simple rule creates wonderful patterns of the cells. I made a cellular automata program with Processing. You can click here to fork the code. However I had some trouble with the github pages so it is temporarily not available to be previewed online. I'll have it fixed tomorrow. The cellular automata really shows the charm of maths.

Why is Type B Blood so Important Millions of people – including trauma patients, burn patients, cancer patients, and people with certain diseases – benefit from blood transfusions each year. For the transfusion to do its lifesaving work, hospital staff must ensure that the blood being given is compatible with the patient’s own blood type. For more information on what blood types are compatible download the blood compatibility chart here. Your blood type is inherited from your parents, much like your eye and hair color. Take a look at our genetic chart.


(HealthDay News) -- About 1 in 3 Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 has hearing loss. And about half of those over 75 have trouble hearing. Though age-related hearing loss is difficult to prevent, noise-induced hearing loss can be minimized. People should actively reduce exposure to loud noise, the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders says. The agency encourages people to be aware of damaging noises such as loud music, firearms, snowmobiles, lawn mowers and leaf blowers. Among the institute's suggestions are: - Avoid loud noises. - Reduce the amount of time exposed to loud noises. - Protect ears with earplugs or earmuffs.

Telecommunications networks in non-central economies. The urban diffusion of telephone in Spain, 1877-1930 - Cities were the natural environment for the spread of telephone services in the early phase of the new technology of vocal communication. The expansion of the telephone in the Spanish cities took place with a relative delay with respect to other European countries. The reasons for this relative delay were as much economic (rent and tariffs) as institutional, mainly the unstable government policy and the regime of concessions. The period between 1877-1930 analyzed here is rich in contrasts since it includes the passage from an overwhelming predominance of local networks, private as well as public, to a regime of virtual monopoly towards the creation of a system unified under a private monopoly with very few exceptions.


Water movement in a plant or tree — from uptake by the root system to evaporation by the leaves — is dictated by tension deficits. Soil tension is the degree to which water clings to the soil and it is directly linked to a plant’s metabolism. When there is too little available water the plant may not show outward signs of stress, but in fact, photosynthesis can stop, growth is paused and production is comprised. Knowing soil tension in real time, allows a grower to anticipate plant stress and take action before future production and growth is compromised. Want to learn more about Hortau’s plant-centric approach? Contact us today for a free consultation or for more information on how soil tension measurement can improve your crop health and your bottom line.

What began as not much more than a trading post in 1825 has grown to over 850 acres of port facilities today. Established by a proclamation issued by the Congress of Mexico on October 17, 1825, while the land known as Texas still belonged to Mexico, the Port of Galveston became the oldest port in the Gulf of Mexico west of New Orleans. Galveston and its port have always been intertwined. Galveston was founded to take advantage of a prime natural location. In reports, Galveston was called the best natural harbor that the colony of Texas had to offer.


Electric vehicles, or EVs, have been around for over 100 years. The first EV that people could buy went on sale in 1894. The "Electrobat" could go 25 miles on one battery charge. Today's EVs are light, speedy, affordable, and can travel far on a single charge. Learn why modern EVs are enticing drivers to "dump the pump" and how EVs have evolved over time!

C/2013 A1, also called Siding Spring, after the observatory from which it was first observed in January 2013 by Rob McNaught, an Australian astronomer. This one, though, is special in that there is a slight chance that it may impact the surface of Mars. It’s also said to have an orbital cycle estimated at more than 1,000,000 years. It’s too early to tell yet if Siding Spring will hit Mars, but scientists are currently working on measures to protect the satellites orbiting Mars as well as the probes exploring the surface in the event that impact is shown to be likely. Even if there is no impact, there will be plenty of opportunity for observation and measurement, and we may even have a good view of it from Earth, as we are likely to with ISON later this year. Will you be looking up when the time comes?

Animal Fact: Horses drink at least 25 gallons of water a day (more in hotter climates) The average horse will intake 5 to 10 gallons of fresh water per day. Just like humans, different horses crave or need different water amount intakes. A horse deprived of feed, but supplied drinking water, is capable of surviving 20 to 25 days. Just like humans, in the heat of summer, a horse will enjoy cool, fresh water, but in cold winter situations, difficulties arise in providing water that is too cold or in a semi-frozen state. Humans enjoy a cup of hot tea, coffee or chocolate to warm their internal system and needs in the winter. Horse owners have discovered that warming the drinking water for their horse during the winter will lead to the horse consuming more water.

Bile salts facilitate the formation of micelles for fat absorption. They are the product of conjugation of bile acids with taurine or glycine. Bile acids can be divided into those made in the liver - primary forms - and those derived from primary bile acids by the action of gut bacteria - secondary forms. Primary bile acids are transported into the biliary tree by carrier-mediated passive diffusion. They are passed to the gallbladder where they are concentrated and stored within bile. On gallbladder contraction, the bile salts pass into the duodenum. The majority of bile salts are reabsorbed within the gut for recycling back to the liver - the enterohepatic circulation. Excessive amounts of bile salts within the blood can lead to the symptoms of pruritus.


RIVER MINISTRY IN PERU BY JESSE MATTIX South America’s jungle lands are deep in the middle of the continent and stretch into the neck of Panama. The jungle is almost forgotten, but a careful reading of colonial history and archaeology reveals places where the Inca people took refuge as they retreated from the Spanish on the western side of the continent, later known as Peru.

About half of all people with cancer are treated with radiation therapy, either alone or in combination with other types of cancer treatment. Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Americans today receive far more medical radiation than ever before. The average lifetime dose of diagnostic radiation has increased seven-fold since 1980 with doctors and dentists having no real idea of the risks they are taking with their patients’ lives. Exposure to radiation causes a cascade of free radicals that wreak havoc on the body. Radiation decimates the body’s supply of glutathione, which in turn allows free radicals to run rampant through our body’s tissues and organs. Glutathione is the master antioxidant!


Each semester our Lower School grades participate in a curriculum day. The curriculum day is a culmination of the learning that has taken place within a particular grade level. For example, in fourth grade, at the end of their Civil War study, our students take part in a reenactment, complete with costumes, battles, and authentic era food. In Kindergarten and third grade, our students travel back to colonial America and experience the life of a colonial child. They have clothes to wash and hang and animals to feed. They learn the trade of a silversmith and play games like marbles and hopscotch. Curriculum days provide a hands-on experience for the students and make history come alive.


Coil care for your HVAC system is very important. A coil is a main component of your HVAC System. There is a condenser coil and an evaporator coil. These coils are an integral part of the heat exchange that happens when cooling your air. These coils contain your refrigerant. Many older systems used Freon (R22) while more recent systems use Puron (R410a).


The article is an attempt to compare the impact of the use of various types of limestone as the main constituent of cement on selected mortar properties. Four different limestones were added in amount of 15, 30, 40% to CEM I 42.5 R to obtain limestone cemens. Rheological properties (yield stress, plastic viscosity) of fresh mortar, tensile and compressive mortar strength, early shrinkage, and drying shrinkage were tested. Obtained results indicate that both tensile and compressive strength decreases with the increase of the limestone content in cement. Limestone can worsen or improve workability, depending on distribution of limestone grains. The addition of limestone increases the early shrinkage, but reduces the shrinkage after 28 days. Studies show that the granulation of limestone plays an important role in determining the influence of limestone on mortar properties.

Petrified wood is a fossil that forms when sediment buries and protects plant material from decay. Groundwater rich in dissolved solids such as silica and calcium carbonate flows through the sediment and replaces the original plant material. The mineral-rich water replaces the plant material with quartz (silica), calcite, pyrite or opal among others. The result is a fossil of the original plant material. Because the plant material is replaced, the fossil often preserves details of the bark, wood and cellular structures. An information card with details on the rock formation, mineral content, characteristics, and uses is included. Typical samples sizes are generally 1.0 to 2.0 inches in length or width but can vary based on availability and natural fossil shape. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small Parts. Not for Children Under 3 years. May contain sharp edges.


Russian is the official language of 148 million people in the Russian Federation. It is also an invaluable tool for anyone interested in the newly independent countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union: Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The demise of the USSR has brought the 380 million citizens of the former Soviet Union into a wider world of politics, culture, economics, business, and commerce. A knowledge of Russian can be a valuable asset to students in virtually any major. Never have the Russians themselves been more open and eager to communicate with people from other countries who can speak their language.

Ensure any employee that have to work on this national holiday are compensated accordingly based on DOLE standards. Feel free to talk to us at PayrollHero.ph and we would be happy to help.


Total Organic Carbon in Water The total organic carbon content is another measure of the organic matter present in water. It seems likely a more comprehensive indication of organic pollution loads can be obtained in this way than any other. In this test, all the carbon in a sample is converted to carbon dioxide and then is measured by infra-red spectrscopy. Useful information for deciding the nature of the water can be obtained by dividing the COD by both the BOD and the TOC value. In general, COD divided by BOD will be in the range of 1.5 to 3 for substances in water that are readily biodegradable, and from 4 up to as high as 12 to 15 for toxic or nonbiodegradable substances. The COD/TOC data would be useful in determining whether the COD of a water was due to organic or inorganic reducing agents. If inorganic reducing agents were present, the COD/TOC ratio would be extremely high.


Edward Gordon Craig Edward Gordon Craig was a visionary of theatre. Born 1872 in Stevenage, the son of an architect and the celebrated actress Ellen Terry; theatre and art were in his blood. He began his professional career as an actor with Henry Irving’s vompany, but soon left to expand his artistic talents. At the end of the 19th century, theatre was fixated with recreating ‘reality’ on stage, both in performance and design. Craig argued that ‘theatre’ came from the Greek word ‘to see’ not ‘to hear’, and thus theatre should be embedded in image.

While not very appetizing to discover when you crack open a fresh egg, blood spots are not harmful. According to the American Egg Board, blood spots are “occasionally found on an egg yolk. These tiny spots do not indicate a fertilized egg. Instead, they are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel on the yolk surface during formation of the egg or by a similar accident in the wall of the oviduct. Mass candling methods reveal most eggs with blood and those eggs are removed. However, even with mass scanners, it’s impossible to catch them all.” “Both chemically and nutritionally, eggs with blood spots are fit to eat. You can remove the spot with the tip of a knife, if you wish.”


By Richard A. Stoelb This is the story of the men of Company F, 127th Infantry, 32nd Division, Wisconsin National Guard who left Sheboygan, Wisconsin for Federal Service on October 15, 1940. They would fight in the Battle for Buna on the island of New Guinea against the Japanese in World War II. Richard’s father, Roland Stoelb, was one of those soldiers who fought in the jungles of the Pacific to stop the Japanese during World War II. Roland along with dozens of boys from Sheboygan spent their Time in Hell, many of them making the ultimate sacrifice. Richard’s story personalizes the fight in the Pacific and honors the boys from Sheboygan.


Arsenic is incredibly toxic to human health and must be closely monitored. Arsenic is more of a problem in certain geographic areas than others. Arsenic poisoning can be acute where a large amount of arsenic is consumed in a short space of time, or chronic where the build-up of small amounts of time becomes toxic. The Palintest Arsenator enables accurate and safe field measurements of arsenic to protect rural communities from arsenic poisoning. A simple visual test kit providing rapid arsenic test results, widely used to identify arsenic water contamination in rural communities.

The silvery lutung (Trachypithecus germaini), also known as the silvered leaf monkey or the silvery langur, is an Old World monkey. The silvery lutung is a medium-sized monkey with a long, non-prehensile tail. It has grey-tipped, dark brown or black fur, giving it a uniform silvery appearance. Unlike some related species, there are no paler markings on the face or body, except for a patch of whitish hair on the groin of females. A crest of fur runs along the top of the head, and the hair on the cheeks is long, often obscuring the ears. The hands and feet are hairless, with dark colored skin, and have opposable thumbs and toes.


Clinical trials are an essential step towards getting new treatments and detection tests into the clinic. Liz Chipchase signed up for a clinical trial, unaware it would be a decision that would save her life. She took part in the BEST3 trial, which studies the effectiveness of the Cytosponge. The Cytosponge, or ‘Pill on a String’, collects cells from the food pipe, which is also called the oesophagus. The cells then undergo molecular testing in the lab. These tests look for signs of a condition called Barrett’s oesophagus, which in some cases can develop into cancer.

Clovers And Drought I have sandy loam with some alkali. In wet years it is regarded as too damp in some places. Can you give me any information on the following points? I have practically no water for irrigation and I feel sure that alfalfa would not grow without it. Do you think that clover would make one or more cuttings without water? Red and white clover are less tolerant of drought than alfalfa, which, being a deep-rooting plant, is especially commended in dry-farming undertakings. Red clover will grow better on low wet lands than will alfalfa, but the land must not dry out or the red clover will die during the dry season. None of the plants will stand much alkali. Next: Clover For Wet Lands Previous: Light Soil And Scant Moisture


A G-d Who Cares for Others In Paroh’s dream, he was standing on top of the Nile (Bereishit 41:1). Chazal stressed that this is a hint at the phenomenon that the evil exist “on top of their gods” (Bereishit Rabba 69:3). The Nile is the god of Egypt because it gives them life, turning the river course, found in the midst of a scorching desert, into a flourishing pearl of growth and sustenance. An Egyptian god is a god to the extent that it “produces results,” providing needs and desires. The idol of a defeated nation stops being their idol. Egypt knew that they developed because of the Nile and knew how to value the provider of food and water. They knew, in their eyes, how to provide treats and tributes for the Nile. If one sacrifices before a god, it is based on the assumption that it will provide the one who offered it a net gain.


THE FAIRCHILD OAK The Fairchild Oak is one of the largest Live Oak trees in the south. The tree has stood for centuries, over 400 years as a silent witness to the clearing of the wilderness for plantations, and, in 1836, the destruction of the settlements on Bulow Creek by raiding Seminole Indians. The park contains numerous plantation ruins, most hidden in the undergrowth of the forest.

Today, Class 5 pretended they were on a school trip to the forest. However, the coach left Class 5 behind! In Science they have been learning about the basic needs of humans and animals; one of which is shelter. Miss Lavelle set the challenge of building a shelter that would protect them until help arrived. They were given sheets of material, rope and could use any natural resource too. They had a little competition between the girls and the boys to see who could build the best, protective shelter.


Researchers say that a daily cup of hot tea may reduce the risk for glaucoma, a disease in which a buildup of fluid in the eye can damage the optic nerve and lead to gradual vision loss, TODAYonline reports. The British Journal of Ophthalmology published the study, which included 1,678 participants. Researchers used photographs of the optic disc and other diagnostic techniques and recorded instances of glaucoma in 2005 and 2006, then correlated them with reports of beverage consumption over the previous year. Adjusting for age, body mass index, sex, ethnicity, smoking and diabetes, they found that people who drank at least a cup of hot tea a day were 74 percent less likely to have glaucoma. The researchers found no association with soft drinks, iced tea, decaffeinated tea or with coffee, decaffeinated or not. Read the full story:

Mammoth Cave, Kentucky Mammoth Cave National Park is a national park in the United States in central Kentucky which comprises the longest cave system known in the world. It is now a world heritage site and was given this honor on the 27th October 1981. The park was established as a national park on the 1st of July 1941. There is a myth that the cave gets its name from Mammoth fossils but no such fossil has been found. The term mammoth merely refers to its huge size.

«Letter Lines» - a word game The goal of the game - to create as many words as possible by moving the letters on the playing field. Move letters can only be on a trajectory passing through the empty cells. To move the letter click on it, and then - on the target free cell. Words can be drawn horizontally, vertically and diagonally. To enter a word, click on the first letter, and then on it's last one. The selected word is removed from the field, and in the absence of bonuses can not be reused. Allowed only common nouns in the singular (except where the word has no singular form). Admissibility of the word is checked on Wiktionary. Composing a word length of 7 or more letters grants bonuses that can be used for re-use of the words without scoring. Current version contains 98000+ verified nouns.


1. An electric generator, especially for direct current. 2. An energetic, hardworking, forceful person. Deriving from the Greek dunamis, meaning “power,” dynamo is a nifty little word. It can stand in for “generator,” perhaps in a laboratory or ship scene. Much like the word “firecracker,” it can also be used to describe a person – usually someone who’s quite powerful or dynamic. Reluctantly he withdrew his eyes from the mysterious sphere and looked about the room once more. No, the laboratory was vacant human occupants. No one was hidden among the benches that were cluttered with beakers and test tubes and stills, or among the dynamos and transformers in the other end of the room. – Jack Williamson, “The Pygmy Planet” (1932)


"Resistance of an electrical conductor is proportional to it length" The intuitive explanation I found in many articles was that the greater the length of the conductor, such as a wire, the greater the number of collisions of the electrons with ions and therefore greater resistance. But how would this greater number of collision do anything to the drift velocity and therefore to the current $I$? Between any two collisions, the average speed of the electrons is the same and this affects the current? How would a greater length change this average speed between two collisions?

The Kuruc were Hungarians who fought to liberate Hungary from control of the Austrian House of Habsburg in the late 1600s and early 1700s. The Labanc were the Hungarians who fought in support of the House of Habsburg against the Kuruc. Over time, the term Kuruc has come to designate Hungarians who advocate strict national independence and the term Labanc to designate Hungarians who advocate cooperating with outside powers. The term Kuruc is used in both a positive sense to mean “patriotic” and in a negative sense to mean “chauvinistic.” The term Labanc is almost always used in a negative sense to mean “disloyal” or “traitorous.” Kuruc.info is the name of Hungary’s main radical nationalist website (click for website).


Debussy—“The Sunken Cathedral” Lecture no. 16 from the course: The 23 Greatest Solo Piano Works Taught by Professor Robert Greenberg | 45 min | Categories: The Great Courses Plus Online Music & Fine Art Courses Here, journey into Debussy’s early life as he broke with the musical past, developing new approaches to tonality and sonority to create stunningly original piano works. In this extraordinary prelude, study five elements of Debussy’s revolutionary style, used to evoke the mythical cathedral of Ys rising from the sea. In particular, observe how he uses “modal” melodies and harmonies, rhythmic fluidity, and tone color to create a magical, otherworldly atmosphere and a nonlinear sense of time.


The Edward B. Marks Music Co. Collection on George M. Cohan documents the career of one of the 20th century’s most prolific theatrical artists. Born in 1878, George Michael Cohan joined his parents’ vaudeville act in infancy. His first full-length production opened on Broadway when he was just 23, and for the next 40 years he wrote, composed, directed, produced, or starred in over 100 Broadway productions. Thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for Humanities Collections and Reference Resources, the Museum is engaged in digitizing over 70 of Cohan’s plays, musicals, and sketches, which will be made publicly available for the first time on the Collections Portal.


Baby elephants are amazing. There is something about the small version of such a big creature like an elephant that is so so cute. Elephants are definitely mystical creatures. From the time they are born, baby elephants can weigh around two-hundred pounds. They cannot have their own babies until they reach 13 to 20 years of age, but that is actually pretty young for them, because their lifespan is 30 to 50 years in the wild. Since you probably cannot see baby elephants where you live (their homes are in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia) here are some of the cutest baby elephants you can look at right in your own home. That way, you won’t have to disturb them in their natural habitat, but you can still admire their natural beauty! And now a baby elephant video! Aww! Baby elephants are so darn cute.


By Nicholas Ng-A-Fook (ed.) and Kristina Llewellyn (ed.) The interdisciplinary group of scholars in this book address issues of social justice in a global context by drawing on oral history as a form of consciousness―not just a method or approach to overcoming historical marginalizations. They show the special role oral history plays in cultivating historical consciousness of what is excluded, pushed aside, or made invisible, and thus is an important mode of public education in current contexts of national redress and reconciliation initiatives in North America and abroad. A significant contribution of this work is to explicate how oral history is critical to an understanding of the complexities of culture, as well as to historical consciousness.

Climate change — regardless of where you stand on the issue, there’s no denying this fact. New strains of trees are spreading North into Canada and they’re getting a helping hand from an unusual source: fungi that have been dormant underground for eons. “The idea that long-dormant, symbiotic fungi could help trees migrate during periods of rapid climate change has been around for decades, but no one had taken it seriously enough to investigate,” says the study’s co-author Jason Pither, associate professor of biology at UBC Okanagan. “Could fungi actually remain dormant and viable for thousands of years and be resurrected by plants growing today? Our research suggests it’s possible.” As the trees migrate north, so do the diseases. Just because you don’t normally have a certain tree disease in your area, don’t let your guard down.


This provocative article on War, peace, language published in the Indian Express highlights the nuances of language, politics, power, and ideologies. While Pakistani columnist Khaled Ahmed is speaking from personal experience and the content of his opinions may be up for debate, he makes well the point that the languages we know shape our access to information and thus our worldviews. Learning a new language can bring us outside of our familiar ways of thinking and give us a chance to hear perspectives that we could never possibly access before. Whether we use this for war or for peace is a powerful choice for language learners and educators. What political or ideological implications does your language learning carry? How do we hold these worldview shifts carefully as we teach new languages to others?


Because all chickadees are year-round insectivores as well as seed eaters, they are part of the natural pest control system in your yard. Those that live in and around the property patrol it regularly in their search for protein, dispatching all kinds of pest insects that are also resident in the yard. In the summer they can be depended upon to eat: |Lunch for Chickadees| |Caterpillars||Colorado potato beetles||flea beetles| |Leafminers||moths and moth eggs||plant lice| |scale insects||true bugs||wasps| In the winter chickadees scour tree bark for eggs and pupae of various moths, spiders, katydids and other insects that winterover as eggs. They habitually feed from the ground to about five feet from the ground. When gleaning the bark of tall trees they will feed higher, but the bulk of their feeding is low to the ground.


In 1629, when the Massachusetts Bay Company obtained a royal charter to plant a colony in New England, John Winthrop joined the company, pledging to sell his English estate and take his family to Massachusetts if the company government and charter were also transferred to America. The other members agreed to these terms and elected him governor. He died, age 61, in the spring of 1649. We strive for accuracy and fairness.

1827 - 1905 The 19th Century Edward Atkinson was a cotton manufacturer in New England before becoming a radical abolitionist who worked to support runaway slaves in the underground railroad and to raise money for John Brown. Later, he was inspired by the free trade ideas of Richard Cobden and John Bright and became an ardent supporter of free trade in the US. In 1898 he helped found the Anti-Imperialist League in order to oppose the annexation of the Philippines.


Find the number of fruits to the right of the fruit called as "King of fruits". very interesting question HI I AM OF CLASS 6 An organic compound is virtually any chemical compound that contains carbon, although a consensus definition remains elusive and likely arbitrary. However, the traditional definition used by most chemists is limited to compounds containing a carbon-hydrogen bond. Organic compounds are rare terrestrially, but of central importance because all known life is based on organic compounds. The most basic petrochemicals are considered the building blocks of organic chemistry.

''Aesculus'' × ''carnea'', or red horse-chestnut, is an artificial hybrid between ''A. pavia'' and ''A. hippocastanum'' . The origin of the tree is not known, but it probably first appeared in Germany before 1820. The hybrid is a medium-size tree to 20–25 m tall, intermediate between the parent species in most respects, but inheriting the red flower color from ''A. pavia''. It is a popular tree in large gardens and parks.

Enough well-written letters can change public policy. The original name of the first space shuttle was the Constitution in honor of the U.S. Constitution's Bicentennial. However, the name of OV-101 (the official designation of the first Space Shuttle Orbiter) was changed to Enterprise after then-President Gerald Ford received 100,000 letters from Star Trek fans. There are an estimated 80 million gun owners in the United States. If even one percent bothered to write in it would yield a letter campaign eight times as massive.


Several years ago, a friend of mine in Germany sent me a German 10-mark banknote. It was unusual in that it featured the image and the work of a mathematician. There is a simple approximate rule of thumb used by investors and accountants to estimate the time taken in years, $n$; for an investment to double with an interest rate of $R%$; or indeed for a debt to double if left unpaid. One simply divides $72$ by $R$ to estimate the time in years. Fairly early in your study of algebra, you meet one of the most useful of algebraic techniques, the difference of two squares which enables you to write, for example $x^2-1=(x-1)(x+1)$. Q1064. The numbers $1, 2,\ldots , 16$ are placed in the cells of a $4\times 4$ table as shown in the left hand diagram below. One may add $1$ to all numbers of any row or subtract $1$ from all numbers of any column.

1. The past tense of "dive" is: 2. Splitting an infinitive is: a. Wrong wrong wrong! Bad bad bad! b. Fine, if it makes the sentence flow better. c. What the hell does "splitting an infinitive" mean? 3. For me (i.e., you) there is a difference in pronunciation between "which" and "witch"; and between "Wales" and "whales": True or False? 4. I sometimes pronounce the word "address" with the accent on the first syllable (AD-dress): True or False? 5. Pepsi, 7-Up, Orange Crush, root beer: collectively these are all called: d. other (write-in) 6. Just for fun: the shibboleth question: give me the name of a town/locality near you that no outsiders can pronounce right, and try to tell us how it's really pronounced. My example: Willamette, in Oregon (name of a river among other things), is pronounced with the stress on the LAM, not the WILL. Saying WILL-a-met is the sure mark of an outsider.


MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Many adults take aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke. But in Monday’s Health Watch, a new study confirms it’s not for everyone. Researchers looked at several studies involving more than 100,000 people without prior heart disease. While they had fewer heart attacks, taking aspirin didn’t lower death rates. “We know that aspirin works in people who are high- and even moderate-risk. It’s the people who are low-risk that we’re really not sure whether using an aspirin a day or every other day is beneficial,” said Dr. Tara Narula, of the Lenox Hill Hospital. Doctors also say patients have to consider the side effects. Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding in the stomach and intestine. Doctors recommend patients without a history of heart problems talk with their physician first to see if aspirin is the right choice.

Chapter 13. Kerberos V4 Kerberos is a secret key based service for providing authentication in a network. When a user Alice first logs into a workstation, she’ll type her account name and password. We’ll call the period from when she logs in to when she logs out her login session. During her login session Alice will probably need to access remote resources (such as hosts on which Alice has accounts, or file servers on which Alice has files). These remote resources will need to authenticate her, but Alice’s workstation performs the authentication protocol on Alice’s behalf, and Alice need not be aware that it is happening. The network itself is assumed to be insecure. Bad guys might eavesdrop or modify messages. Kerberos was originally ...


Astronomers using the unique ultraviolet capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope have identified nine monster stars with masses over 100 times the mass of the sun in the star cluster R136. The young and dense star cluster R136 can be seen at the lower right of this image showing the central region of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This cluster contains hundreds of young blue stars, among them the most massive star detected in the universe so far. This makes it the largest sample of very massive stars identified to date.

The copper redhorse, Moxostoma hubbsi, is a species of fish that only exists in Québec and is in danger of extinction. The critical situation prompted the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec to develop an artificial reprodution technique, in collaboration with the Biodôme and the Université du Québec à Montréal. Methods of hormonal induction, egg incubation and raising the young were developed. More specifically, the Biodôme has played an important role in developing a shelter network (genitarium) to conserve the species’ genetic variability. As of 1994, young copper redhorse males crossbred from different parents are kept at the Biodôme, the Québec Aquarium and the Baldwin Mills provincial fish hatchery.

Enriching Lives, Protecting our Planet When you hear the term “omega-3s,” fish may be the first thing that pops into your head. The truth is, many fish are a rich source of omega-3s – the healthy fats that support brain, heart and eye health and function – thanks to the microalgae found in their food chain. Fish eat marine algae and phytoplankton which are nature’s original producers of EPA and DHA omega-3s. Building on what nature created, life’s™OMEGA EPA and DHA from a sustainable and vegetarian algal source.


Marriage is a legal relationship between two individuals – usually one man and one woman. To make a valid marriage, the parties must be willing to contract, able to contract, and have actually contracted to be married. While the specific requirements for a valid marriage vary by state, all valid marriages between a man and a woman performed in one state must be recognized by every other state under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution. Until 2004, same-sex couples couldn’t wed anywhere in the country. Now, gay marriage is legal in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. Several other states have enshrined voter-approved prohibitions blocking same-sex marriage in their state constitution as a way to keep state judges from overturning the bans.


Who Are Urban Indians? citizens or individuals of American Indian ancestry. Who reside in cities and urban areas. They are an inter-tribal population from numerous tribes. Yet connected by cultural experience, identity, heritage, and joined together by location. American Indians migrated, by force or by choice, into California cities seeking education, employment and housing opportunities. This has resulted in the vast majority of Urban Indians being unable to access their tribes for health services. Urban Indian Health Organizations, substance abuse treatment facilities, and social service agencies are a key lifeline for the population.

April 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the United States’ entry into World War I. The “hostess house” shown in this photograph was a replica erected in downtown Minneapolis as part of a wartime liberty bond drive. The real houses were designed by the YWCA to provide a suitable place for women visiting or living in wartime military camps. In the United States, these houses allowed women to visit their husbands or loved ones before the soldier left for the battlefields. The real houses provided beds, a cafeteria and a nursery. This replica gave Minnesotans an opportunity to learn more about the wartime work of the YWCA.

Native to the United States, and found from Texas east to South Carolina and Florida. A perennial vine with rapid growth that allows it to quickly cover large areas with foliage, attaching to other plants by means of tendrils. As a species of morningglory this plant is considered invasive in some states. A low-growing but potentially invasive vine that grows up into and over other plants, attaching to them with tendrils. Stems are thin and strong, with a slight reddish color and are covered with short hairs. Leaves are 3 to 4 inches wide and divided into 3 deeply lobed sections. The pink flowers are typical of the family, bell-shaped and arising on long stalks from the base of the leaves. Characteristicts Important to Control: In order to kill the roots a systemic herbicide may be necessary, followed by physical removal of the foliage to eliminate it from other plantings.


Manchester has ben through some enormous changes over the past few decades, some welcome, some not so much. The 1970s was a hugely significant decade for Greater Manchester, with heavy industry in decline since the 1960s and a huge redevelopment of the city centre taking place. This is also when the Arndale reared its head, and old, overcrowded housing was cleared to make way for huge high-rise flats. Then in 1974 Manchester split from Lancashire, becoming the county of Greater Manchester as a result of the Local Government Act 1972. Luckily, there are photo archives with images documenting this turning point in history, and thanks to the MMU Visual Resources Centre we can take a look back at a much cleaner, spacious looking Manchester.

Infectious diseases can be diagnosed in a variety of ways after the initially being seen by your doctor. After taking your vitals, some of which include blood pressure, temperature and heart rate, your doctor will discuss your symptoms. Be sure to include all symptoms that seem out of the ordinary to you. Sometimes, your doctor can diagnose you without further testing if you have an illness with physical symptoms, such as chickenpox or shingles. Often, a doctor will find something in the first exam that will lead to more tests before your condition can be diagnosed. If your doctor orders additional testing, it is important to follow through with the instructions as soon as possible. Depending on your symptoms, the tests could vary. Some of the tests used by doctors to diagnose diseases include:


The four Geneva Conventions of 1949 form the basis of International Humanitarian Law. These laws protect persons who are not or no longer involved in hostilities. This includes civilians, prisoners of war and wounded and sick soldiers. 196 states have signed up to the Geneva Conventions to date. In March 2009, ECCHR partner lawyer Gonzalo Boye filed a criminal complaint against six former US officials of the Bush administration regarding their accountability for violations of international law, including war crimes and torture. The US officials became known as the "Bush Six."


Shape recognition in the EYFS & KS1 Children discover and name new shapes created by combining pieces of u-nu™ This is a very straightforward question and answer dialogue between the practitioner and the child. As a child builds with u-nu™ they will inevitably create shapes that differ from the original geometry of the pieces they use. For instance when two squares are slotted into a curve shape at right-angles to each other, the interior of the structure creates a triangle. Ask children to find these hidden shapes. They could be described as secret shapes and this may lead to them holding special status in the narrative of the child’s play. Some shapes they discover may actually be in the negative space between the pieces of u-nu™ encourage children to look for these shapes too.


MONTGOMERY, Ala. — In 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, was arrested after refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus. Her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement. To commemorate the incident, the City of Montgomery is unveiling a new statue of the civil rights pioneer. The statue will be unveiled on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Montgomery Plaza at the Court Street Fountain, 64 years to the day of Parks' arrest. In addition to the Parks statue, there will also be four granite markers to honor the plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle - the landmark case that ruled segregation on Montgomery buses unconstitutional. The civil rights memorials are a partnership among the city and county, the Alabama tourism department and the Montgomery Area Business Committee for the Arts.


The results of this project will provide crucial information for the development of a Wildlife Action Plan for native herpetofauna and catalog species richness in habitats/ecosystems of concern in the study area. Our study will provide baseline data on habitat use, population size, along with current distribution information for all herpetofauna species within the study region. Multiple survey methods will be utilized, providing for the capture of a wide range of species. Presence/absence data for each species will be used in the state’s inventory database, regardless of taxa (small mammals, invertebrates, etc. will also be captured using some of these methods). Utilization of multiple survey methods will also allow for evaluation and development of a long-term monitoring design that reduces costs and maximizes results.

MA Acting (Classical) This course draws on the influential theories and techniques of the great French acting teacher Michel Saint-Denis, training the expressive body, voice and imagination. Working with some of the greatest dramatic texts ever written students are asked to consider what they mean now. Four key periods of innovation and transition in Western theatre are examined: Greek Tragedy, Chorus and the Neutral Mask. Clowning and Commedia dell’arte. Shakespeare and the English Renaissance. Stanislavski, the Method and ‘Realist’ Theatre. Students are encouraged to understand the demands of both art and craft, as participants in, and practitioners of, these theatrical traditions.


We are frequently asked by our customers at what age a child can effectively use a defibrillator without supervision. After carrying out some research and interviewing a number of specialists, as well as reading relevant studies we created an easy to understand article which gives some reasonable recommendations. While children as young as 11 to 12 can use a modern defibrillator, a child is usually around 13 to 14 years old before they can provide efficient CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Read the full article. If you have any question about defibrillators or require replacement electrodes, just call 0800 612 6537 and our friendly staff will be happy to help.


Fuzzy-horned Bumble Bee (Bombus mixtus): This small species of bumble bee occurs in the Mountain West from the southern Sierra Nevada of California to British Columbia. In the Rocky Mountains, it can be found from Northern New Mexico through western Canada and into Alaska. There’s also a separate population in the upper Midwest (Great Lakes Region) and northern Quebec. They live in mountain and taiga and tundra habitat, preferring open, grassy areas. While on the “Least Concern” portion of the list, they are included on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s “Red List of Threatened Species”.

This week we are starting to learn the names of our body parts in Spanish and English. During circle time we are singing songs that focus on parts of the body like: "If You're Happy and You Know It," and "Open Shut Them." We also sing "Cabeza, Hombres, Rodillas, y Pies," which is "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," in Spanish. Here is a link to the song on youtube if you would like to sing it at home: We are also reading books like Eric Carle's From Head to Toe and Sandra Boynton's Belly Button Book.


Check out community art at Seahurst Beach! The Salmon Trash Sculpture depicts how trash and poor water quality impacts the food chain. The 18-foot artwork was created by welding students at Puget Sound Skills Center to represent the different kinds of marine debris that wash up on Seahurst’s beach throughout the year. It also showcases how marine animals are often impacted negatively by eating human trash, such as plastics, that float in our waters. The hope is to reveal how trash found in our watersheds affect both the quality of our oceans and the creatures who live in them, including ourselves. The salmon’s belly is filled with debris removed from Seahurst Park by ESC volunteers. Come admire the ingenuity of local students or add to it during our spring or fall cleanups.

Crewel Work is a form of surface embroidery which is usually stitched using crewel wool on a heavier linen fabric (traditionally twill). Crewel wool is finer than tapestry wool, it is a fine 2 ply. There is a wide variety of stitches that are used which makes it a very interesting form of embroidery. It is a technique that dates back at least a thousand years. One of the earliest examples of this technique is on the Bayeux Tapestry.


The Kettle River was placed at the top of the Outdoor Recreation Council’s BC Endangered Rivers List in 2011. Wanting to know more, I spent some time immersing myself into the watershed. I explored the headwaters and followed its journey to the border. I also wanted to explore seasonal differences – I was looking for the character, the traits of the Kettle River and its water. A diverse system from top to bottom, its’ flows are strongly dependant on snow-melt driven runoff. Wet in the headwaters to desert-like by the Canadian-American border, the river faces classic human-induced challenges. Large scale extractions by agriculture and resort development are in conflict with the ecological balance of the downstream system. So, should development have the right of way?

Subject and Keywords: The article shows the place and meaning of the introduction to the 1997 Constitution in the context of disputes over its normative meaning. This is an important topic of constitutional discussions over the years. Author of this thesis, takes the view that nowadays in democratic countries, the conviction is growing that, regardless of its specificity, the preamble to the constitution is normative. Such a view prevails in current jurisprudence and doctrine, and the normative character of the Preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland from 1997 plays an important role in drawing the interpretation of particular norms of the basic law.


Pistons and piston pins are paired in accordance with weight selection. Pistons are weighed with their pertinent parts (piston pins, piston rings, snap rings). Piston pins must always remain assigned to the corresponding piston and must not be interchanged even within one engine set. Observe allocation during disassembly and assembly of engine, and mark if necessary. If piston pins have been interchanged by mistake, reallocation must be carried out by checking the total weights. Identification of pistons on piston crown Identification for cylinders on cylinder block a - Cylinder designation (assignment) b - Tolerance group Only pistons and cylinders of the same tolerance groups may be paired together. Various tolerant» groups may be used within one and the same engine. Ignition sequence 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Was this article helpful?

I was working with educators from Colorado on helping a student with autism learn the cardinal value of numbers. We discussed using Touch Math but that the larger numbers presented a challenge because the dots are reused. Tricia Schlachter helped come up with the idea of doubling the touch points as seen above. The students can touch the blue dots and count to 4 then touch the red dots to continue on to 8. This can be taken a step further as red and blue items can be counted out as each respective dot color is counted out. This would lead into a CRA approach to adding using given numbers (as opposed to being given items). The items could be placed on the dots then removed as the student counts.


State wildlife officials in New Jersey say a disease has killed hundreds of deer in just the past two months. The Press of Atlantic City reports Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, or EHD, has resurfaced to become one of the most significant outbreaks in state history. The disease is spread by bugs. According to the report, nearly all of the deer deaths have come from two regions of the state; including Morris, Union and northern Somerset counties and Mercer, Hunterdon and southern Somerset counties. Citing The Star-Ledger, The Press of Atlantic City reports there’s nothing state officials can do about the illness. EHD has no affect on humans and can’t be transmitted through handling infected deer meat, according to the report.

The Observation Calendar assists you in keeping track of your observations by writing the names of the children of who you'll be observing each day, throughout the month. It's a simplified way to ensure that each child is observed and focused upon during the month and lets you keep track on who'll you be observing on that specific day. When observing children, you don't necessarily have to follow a calendar as a child being observed on a specific day can also be observed on another day as well. This calendar is for educators and students observing a large group of children and are finding it difficult to keep up with their observations. This templates assists you to ensure each child is observed and focused upon. The template includes: - A table format from Monday to Friday and the weeks throughout the month - Text field to add 2 names per day


| Don't you often wish you could remember where you first learned some new idea, new concept, useful information or illustration? The following is not original with me and I wish I could give credit where credit is due. Someone wrote about the dates given when a person dies. For instance, 1950-2008. They called attention to the dash. That represents the life that was lived. It does seem like it is a dash sometimes from one thing to another and moves so rapidly. What takes places during that dash between the two numerals is what we did and that for which we shall give account. As simple as this depiction is there is real wisdom in considering our own "dash" and how we use it. See the many dashes on the tombstones and remember that to the person whose body is buried there, that was life.


What is Retinal Detachment? Retina is the light sensitive layer of tissue that lines the inside of the eye and sends visual messages through the optic nerve to the brain. When the retina detaches, it is lifted or pulled from its normal position. If not treated promptly, retinal detachment can cause permanent vision loss. Key Points to Remember: - If you have any sudden change in vision, see an eye doctor immediately! - Low Vision Clinics an help you adjust to a life with low vision


Next weekend we begin running our Permaculture Design Certificate. Unfamiliar with permaculture? This is a nice little clip where people explain what permaculture is to them. As we have seen, permaculture means different things to different people, and people choose to apply its principles and processes differently. But essentially, it is a series of 12 principles underpinned by three values - care for the Earth, care for people, and sharing resources fairly - that can be applied to... anything! Traditionally, permaculture was used to design food systems that mimicked natural systems but were more productive. More recently, we are seeing examples of permaculture principles and design being used in: architecture and building; city planning; designing businesses, organisations, and services; and all aspects of how we organise and live our lives.

Queen Vernita’s Visitors Outskirts Press (2008) Reviewed by Madeline McElroy (age 7.5) for Reader Views (12/08) This book is about Queen Vernita and her visitors who come to visit every month of the year. Children will learn about the months, days of the week, and the seasons. This is a fun book to read. I really like the beautiful pictures. My favorite visitor was Tyler Ann because she was the only girl who came to visit. She also came on my favorite month, December! They wrapped gifts, sang Christmas carols, baked cookies and went to see the Christmas lights. They seemed to have a fun time. “Queen Vernita’s Visitors” by Dawn Menge is a good book to teach younger children about the days of the week and months. Categories: EARLY READER - AGES 6 TO 8
