This intro isn't perfect. However, it has the essential elements, or most of them, that AP-level writing requires. It sees significance in its summary of the plot; it embraces the meaning of the work in question in its entirety. It is clearly written. In Richard Bausch's novel, "Peace", Robert Marson, the leader of a small group of soldiers, struggles to maintain his identity during the hardships of fighting a war. The novel begins with Glick, Marson, and a group of soldiers who are ambushed by a German soldier. In the ensuing fight, two soldiers are shot, and in revenge, Glick kills the defenseless whore. This action sets the stage for an inner battle that Marson and the other soldiers fight to keep their humanity.


It’s easy to forget just how environmentally friendly wild capture fisheries are as a means for providing food. Jessica Gephart and her colleagues remind us. At WorldFish, we spend a lot of time thinking about how improving fisheries and aquaculture can reduce poverty and hunger. We focus our research on how fishing and aquaculture can increase incomes and improve rural economies and how we can increase the affordability and availability of fish to improve health and nutrition among vulnerable populations. Less often do we think about how fishing and aquaculture can save scarce resources.

Tzedakah (from the Hebrew word meaning righteousness, fairness, or justice) refers to the responsibility to give money and/or assistance to the poor or needy or to worthwhile causes. Tzedakah is about making sure that all of the world's resources (food, water, clothing, education, shelter, etc.) are shared justly. Engaging kids with the idea of tzedakah involves helping them to think through the many different ways of helping those in need. Even very young children can begin to take part in acts of tzedakah and learn to do the right thing. They, too, can come to realize they can, in many small ways, make a significant difference in this world.


Eudialyte is a silicate mineral containing a complex mixture of the following minerals. Calcium, Cerium, Iron, Manganese, Sodium, Yltrium and Zirconium. The colour is deep pink/red on a grey/black base material. The frequency of Eudialyte connects to the base and heart chakras. It opens and activates the heart chakra allowing one to receive love and to express love for oneself. Eudialyte helps one to acknowledge one’s gifts and talents so they can be used for one’s highest good. It aids one to become emotionally balanced. Eudialyte’s connection to the base chakra allows one to feel “vital” and supported while being able to follow one’s heart thus balancing the emotional and physical aspects of one’s life. Eudialyte helps to bring stability to the nervous system and thus helps with nervous disorders.


Information on Long Q-T Syndrome Long QT syndrome (LQTS) results from abnormalities within the heart's electrical system that can cause fast, irregular heartbeats. The rapid heartbeats can lead to fainting. In some cases, extremely erratic heartbeats can cause sudden death. Several things can cause Long QT Syndrome, including: - Genetic mutation - Medical conditions like congenital heart defects Many people with Long QT Syndrome don't experience any signs or symptoms. For those who do experience symptoms, these can include: - Sudden death Long QT Syndrome can be diagnosed through an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG). Medical and lifestyle change are often used to treat Long QT Syndrome. Surgical procedures also can be used, including:


The Age of Worms The Red Death Terrible plague that swept the continent in 576 and wiped out up to a fifth of the population in larger cities. In more rural areas like Diamond Lake, quarantining was easier/more effective, so the loss of life was lower, though it still took its toll. Entire families were wiped out. Early symptoms included terrible headaches and vertigo. Bones grew brittle, especially the skull. When peoples ears, eyes and mouth began leaking blood, the end was near. People died within three days of presenting symptoms. The disease proved highly resistant to magical healing – many clerics and paladins found their powers useless against it.


This activity shows students how both in the North and in the South, music was used extensively during the Civil War to rally troops and the public. Different versions of familiar songs, in which both sides borrowed each other’s tunes or lyrics, are presented. It was not uncommon for each side to serenade the other, or for battle to stop while an impromptu concert was held. Singing an “altered rendition” of one side’s favorite song was often done to poke fun at the enemy. Students will examine lyrics of “Battle Cry of Freedom” and “Dixie” with versions from both sides, and make conclusions about the lyrics. Student questions provided here can be used for general class discussion or individual assessment. Answers to the questions are included.


Style guides are developed by publishers to provide guidelines for the presentation of research. These rules or procedures encourage ease of reading, accuracy, and respect in scholarly communication. Colleges and universities often require students to follow one of the recognized style guides when submitting written work for classes. Faculty use the guides for overall formatting of papers and for consistency in how works are cited both in-text and in the reference list. An added benefit is that using style guides prepares students for future publication. See the Citation Resources Guide for more information on APA, MLA, Chicago and others. Note: It is better to provide a link to one of the citation guides than to upload the PDF. This way, changes or updates to the guide will be automatic.

About 150 juniors showcased their learning on topics of Illinois and Chicago history during the History Fair, hosted Thurs Feb 4 and Fri Feb 5 in the Library Media Center. Under direction of Social Studies teachers Matt Bellito, Amanda Carroll, Charles Mann, and Pam Dircks, the students have been researching their topics since October and present their knowledge as either a research paper, a website, a documentary, or a museum exhibit. Students whose projects are judged superior will advance to the next round of the Chicago Metro History Day competition. - Manhattan Project - How the 1893 Columbian Exposition Introduced Electricity to the World - Change in Discrimination of the LGBT Community in Chicago Album of Museum Exhibits A few museum exhibits:


Line representationWhat is the most sensible representation of a line? There are a few possibilities including: - Gradient and intercept: (y=mx+c) - Two distinct points: (x1,y1) & (x2, y2) - r = x cos(a) + y sin(a) : r = the perpendicular distance to the line. a = the angle r makes with the x-axis. I suppose the actual operations I need to perform on lines should dictate the best represention to ease calculations. Using gradients gets tricky when dealing with vertical lines. Angles are preferable since they range between -Pi/2 and Pi/2. The line following algorithm relies on calculating the intersection of lines. It produces start and end points of line segments. Therefore representing lines as two distinct points may be the best approach. Calculating the intersection of two lines represented this way is described here


'Microform' is a generic name for microfilm and microfiche. A microfilm is a photographic film on a reel, in either 16mm or 35mm format, of images that have been reduced in size. A microfiche is a film that has been cut into rectangular sheets. Anything that can be photographed can be placed on microfilm or microfiche. For example, in the collection you can find maps, statistical tables, documents, manuscripts, photographs and artworks. In the University of Melbourne Library catalogue microfilm is identified by the prefix MIC/o. Microfiche is identified by the prefix MIC/f. A guide to either a microfilm or microfiche collection is identified by the prefix MIC.


With two layers of castle walls in a hexagonal shape with unequal sides, the Tower of London is one of the oldest buildings in London. It was built in 1078 by England’s King William I, as a citadel centered on the White Tower and intended as a defense against revolt by the people of London. It was remodeled in various ways over the following 500 years, resulting in its current appearance. Although it housed the royal family until the reign of King James I (1603 to 1625), it was later used as a jail for political prisoners, serving as the scene of numerous historical tragedies including the imprisonment of Queen Elizabeth I and a number of executions. This papercraft model represents the White Tower, one of the 13 towers found within the Tower of London.

Cancer immunology is based upon boosting the body’s own immune system to vanquish malignancies. It is among the fastest growing areas of oncology research. Researchers at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center have launched three clinical trials to test the safety and efficacy of a novel cellular-immunotherapy that uses modified T cells – one of the immune system’s primary weapons – to treat three different types of blood cancer that often defy existing therapies. Three clinical trials are underway at the Moores Cancer Center to test a way to harness the body’s immune system to fight cancer, UC San Diego Health Sciences said Tuesday. Scientists in the studies are using modified T cells — white blood cells that are one of the immune system’s primary weapons — to treat three different types of blood cancer that often defy existing therapies.

Saturday, September 10, 2005 Sea Otters and Penguins Evacuated to Monterey Two sea otters and several penguins arrived here (Monterey Aquarium) from New Orleans today. During the fur trade of the 18th and 19th centuries, southern sea otters were hunted to near extinction. Today only about 2,200 otters can be found off California's central coast. Since January 1977, US Fish and Wildlife Service has placed sea otters on the Endangered Species list so they are protected by state and federal laws. A fun thing to do is cruise the Elkhorn Slough with Capt. Yohn where you can get up close and almost personal with these cute little furry critters.


- 0 SEK The Junkers JU-88 must be considered the most important German airplane of World War II, next to the BF-109 and FW-190. This twinengine plane was originally designed as fast bomber. The project was a complete success and thus the aircraft was also used as a valuable night fighter, a specialized attack aircraft, a torpedo-bomber or as reconnaissance aircraft and finally, during the final phase of WW II, it became known as “the Flying Bomb”. The A4 was the most widely used variant of the Luftwaffe and participated in all theaters during the war, from the battle of Britain to the desperate defense of the German skies.

Everglades Arbovirus Project This project seeks to determine the diversity and abundance of mosquitoes and arboviruses in the regions in and around Everglades National Park, their relationships with the major plant communities and their potential impact on public health. A predictive model will be developed to explain the diversity, distribution and dynamics of arboviruses based upon landscape features, hydrology and mosquito biology. The surveillance will provide information about the association of viral types with different mosquito species, data on the distribution and density of these vectors and potential disease risk to humans and/or wildlife within and around the park. It will also provide baseline data for future assessment of the effects of wetland restoration efforts and regional climate change upon arthropod-borne disease risk.

posted by sara . A ball of circumference 71.5 cm and mass 640 g is forced to the bottom of a swimming pool and then released. After initially accelerating upward, it rises at a constant velocity. (The density of water is 103 kg/m3.) (a) Calculate the buoyant force on the ball. densityball=mass/volume=.640kg/(4/3 PI r^3) where radius r= .715/2PI bouyant force: (mass displaced water-massball)g = volume (density water)g - massball*g = you finish it. Keep units in SI: kg, m^3 this gives me the answer for drag force What would the equation for the drag force the ball experiences while it is moving upward at constant velocity be?


Milling protein lift WORK to establish optimum nitrogen inputs on milling wheat shows that on low yielding sites protein levels can be raised dramatically compared with more fertile areas. At the Wilton site, applying 250kg/ha (178 units/acre) to Hereward raised yields by about 0.5t/ha (0.2t/acre) compared with a 200kg/ha (142 units/acre) rate, easily covering the input cost. The near 10t/ha (4t/acre) crop also had 0.4% more grain protein. On thinner, more drought-prone soils at Shipton in the Cotswolds, the same extra nitrogen gave no more yield, both crops producing about 8t/ha (3.2t/acre). But protein increase was twice that at Wilton. Whether that will pay depends on protein premiums. Further work should result in more detailed recommendations.


News & Events Issue 14- 2010 (Current Issue) Featured Article: Power Packed Power Packed by M. Buckley In the mid-1990s, APL researchers Joe Suter, Binh Le and Ark Lew had a clever idea for a small, thin, flexible device that can convert light to electricity. They also had foresight and—fortunately—a bit of patience. More than a decade later, their patented invention is close to reaching consumers. In late 2009, APL licensed the technology to Florida-based Genesis Electronics, which weaved APL’s ideas into a sleek solar recharger called SunBlazer. When attached to a cell phone or related electronic device, SunBlazer’s 2- by 4-inch solar panel will continually draw energy from the Sun—or any sufficient light source—and keep the device charged.

Overview of Mycoplasmosis in Poultry Mycoplasmas are bacteria that lack a cell wall and are the smallest prokaryotes (0.2–0.8 μm in diameter). They have complex nutritional requirements but will grow on specialized artificial medium containing serum. Growth in broth and on agar media is slow (5–21 days), and the small (0.1–1 mm diameter) colony morphology typically has a "fried egg" appearance under low magnification. Mycoplasmas do not survive for more than a few days outside the host and are vulnerable to common disinfectants. Several Mycoplasma species have been isolated from avian hosts; M gallisepticum, M synoviae, M meleagridis, and M iowae are the most important. Each has distinctive epidemiologic and pathologic characteristics.


Tuesday, March 28, 2017 Oppositional concepts: alternative facts The value of retaining and exploring oppositional concepts is discussed in books like Oppositional Concepts in Computational Intelligence, Tizhoosh and Ventresca, Springer, 2008. See also my blogs of 30 January 2017 and 5 July 2016. Oppositional concept pairs can be taken to be examples of legitimate alternative facts. (In physics an especially important example might be the fact that a photon is a wave and the fact that a photon is a particle. Again, however, I do not wish to legitimize examples which are simply outright lying.) My artificial intelligence Asa H has made use of oppositional concepts.


Brown rice, dark bread, high-fat ice cream, and beans increase fertility, according to a recent Harvard study on diet. Foods not so great for making babies include breakfast cereal, potatoes, trans fats, and frozen yogurt, the researchers report in Newsweek. The study of 18,000 nurses' eating habits linked success getting pregnant to whole grain "slow carbs," according to the findings detailed in a new book "The Fertility Diet." Processed "fast carbs," such as white bread, that are metabolized quickly by the body hindered fertility. The more protein a woman ate from plant sources such as beans, rather than meat, the better. Ice cream, whole milk, and other full-fat dairy boosted fertility, while low-fat dairy decreased it.

Soybean Experimental Laboratory Henry Ford built the Soybean Experimental Laboratory in 1930 in Greenfield Village to help farmers find ways of using their crops in the industrial world. Soybeans and other crops could be reproduced quickly, unlike iron ore, lumber or lead. Chemist Robert Boyer ran this laboratory, where dozens of workers researched industrial uses for other farm crops, carrots and beets. Henry Ford used soybeans for more than just food. He designed Model A car parts, an experimental car body and a suit of clothes from the soybean plant. || | | | ||


Developing A Universal Religion/Making Decisions< Developing A Universal Religion The previous chapter observed that we solve problems by consulting their relevant environments, and that this is both to understand the problem and to find the criteria that an acceptable solution must satisfy. We glossed over the fact that there are frequently several solutions to each problem that will satisfy these criteria. This chapter discusses how the mind decides which solution to adopt. The answer in brief is: we make decisions in order to achieve a valued purpose.


In 2368, Commander William T. Riker and the J'naii scientist Soren used a series of photon pulses fired from two type 4 phasers, with which their shuttlecraft had been fitted, to chart the outline of a null space pocket into which a J'naii shuttle had disappeared. They were able to obtain a map the perimeter of the pocket by charting where each pulse disappeared into the null space. (TNG: "The Outcast") In 2374, an Kovin's starship was equipped with photon pulses. When Kovin fired a spread of photon pulses, from the bow of his ship, at the USS Voyager. In the opening volley, the pulses lowered Voyager's deflector shield strength down to 82%, and by the time his assault was complete, he had completely disabled Voyager's shields.

Practice both eyes Sometimes, you can see only sharp on one eye (in the alpha phase), while the other eye is still in the beta phase and sees a little fuzzy. Please note, that not always the same eye is in the alpha state. Both eyes should now and then alternate. You will find out which eye sees better during the three-point exercise. After opening the eyes and before you blink, hold the flat hand on the left and then right eye. Compare with which eye you see better. If during several days only the same eye sees sharply, you should practice the weaker eye additionally. Cover the better eye with your hand, without pressing, and make the three-point exercise with the weaker eye. Of course, you should not neglect the better eye. Just make after every three-point exercise with both eyes, one more exercise with the weaker eye.


Diet and exercise build strong bones for a strong future! Bone is a living tissue with cells being replaced, renewed and remodeled throughout life. Our bones provide us with strength and resilience so that the skeleton can absorb impact without breaking. Nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K, and being physically active, are vital in sustaining bone development and maintenance. Without these two factors osteoporosis can occur. Osteoporosis also referred to as ‘brittle bones’, is when bones are weak and fragile and at higher risk of bone fracture.


How to Choose a FPGA That Suits Your Project A FGPA is chip that is programmable with the computer to create circuit. It is a totally different type of programmable board compared to an Arduino for example. The Arduino will follow lines of codes to generate the necessary outputs. A FPGA won't however read lines of code, but it is a circuit itself. When the chip is programmed, a series of AND-ports, OR-ports and many others ports are linked together. The FGPA will increase the speed and the possibilities of your designs! I assume that by now you are considering to use a awesome FPGA in your next project, but the next question is: 'How do you choose your FPGA?'. Watch the following video the find this answer!

When an inmate is sent to solitary confinement, they are cut off from the world. Meals are slid through a slot in a solid steel door, and they might not see the outdoors for months or years on end. The only window to the outside world is a small peephole, trapping the inmate further inside their own mind. Out of the two million who are incarcerated in the US today, at least 80,000 are held in rooms like this one. It can be hard to imagine spending 22 to 24 hours a day without human contact or sunlight, but a new VR project by The Guardian offers us a glimpse. Called "6x9," the project by journalists Francesca Panetta and Lindsay Poulton gives a 360-degree view of a cell in solitary.

SCLC is one of two major types of lung cancer, but it only accounts for 10 to 15 percent of all cases.Continue Reading Also known as oat cell cancer or oat cell carcinoma, SCLC can start near the chest's center and typically spreads quickly. It often goes undetected until considerable spreading has occurred, states the American Cancer Society. Chemotherapy may treat this cancer in people who are otherwise healthy. Radiation and surgery may also be options, though the latter is rare, according to the American Cancer Society.Learn more about Cancer


Technology won’t close the achievement gap, writes psychologist Susan Pinker in the New York Times. “Showering students, especially those from struggling families, with networked devices” could widen the class divide, she warns.If this surprises you, raise your hand. No hands? Hmmm. In the early 2000s, nearly one million disadvantaged middle-school students were given networked computers. There was “a persistent decline in reading and math scores,” concluded a multi-year study by Duke economists. “What’s worse, the weaker students (boys, African-Americans) were more adversely affected than the rest,” writes Pinker. “When their computers arrived, their reading scores fell off a cliff.” How many billions have been spent chasing this phantom? There's no royal road to geometry, and there's no silver bullet for closing the achievement gap.

Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative and controversial biologists, may be revolutionizing scientific thinking with his vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory. He first worked in developmental biology and is best known for his theory of Morphic Fields and Morphic Resonance. His latest book, "The Sense of Being Stared At," develops his concept of the extended mind. He presents new evidence supporting the notion that ordinary people, as well as animals, have paranormal capabilities. In collaboration with Sheldrake, research groups and invididuals may participate in broad-based experiements via telephone or the web. Location: (Show Map)


Quality bee suits can prevent killer bee attacks. Killer bees are really Africanized Honey Bees. They have come by their "killer" moniker because they will viciously attack people or animals that unintentionally stray into their territory. The Africanized Honey Bee ("AHB") colony does not have to be disturbed to provoke the bees; even simple noises or vibrations have been known to cause an attack. Be careful near canals, drainage ditches and retention basins because they like to be near water. When they sense rain, they swarm. Quality bee suits can prevent stingers from penetrating through the suit to your skin. Although it is not a concrete number, the American Medical Association has said that seven bee stings per pound can be lethal. Be prepared with the right protection: bee suit, veil and gloves.


Flu vaccines will be given starting in the fall. They are recommended for all age groups, especially if you are over 50 years old, are a caretaker for the elderly or small children, or have a history of respiratory diseases.

Now the rule of thumb is that the more difference in terms of accidentals the keys have, the less related they are. So C minor and G major should be situated pretty far apart on the circle of fifths, shouldn't they? But they're not. They are very closely related. You see, the tonic chord of C minor (C-Eb-G) has Eb which is the lowered 6th scale degree of harmonic G major. This makes C minor the subdominant key of G major. And G major - the dominant key of C minor because the tonic chord of G major (G-B-D) has the B natural in it. This is a sign of C minor harmonic version. Knowing this, you can understand why sometimes you see these strange juxtapositions of keys in your organ pieces.


Global urbanization has given rise to the megacity: large, densely-packed urban areas with more than ten million people. These cities are becoming increasingly connected, dense and complex, and are becoming non-state actors’ preferred hiding places. It is inevitable that the US military will find the need to operate in this environment, and it is currently unprepared to do so. Gaining and maintaining a comprehensive understanding of the environment is the first challenge to preparing forces for megacity urban operations. The emerging fields of big data, analytics, and data-driven decision-making offer significant potential towards this end. The Army must study this environment and the emerging sets of tools if it wishes to remain relevant in tomorrow’s fight.


Water is the single most important component for life on Earth. 70% of the human body is made of water. If you place your ear against a person who is jumping up and down, you might even be able to hear some of that water sloshing about. Isn't science fascinating? In order to live, a human must drink at least two gallons of what every day. Fortunately, American scientists armed with this knowledge were able to invent one of the most important devices we have in today's society.


Planning for People Botswana 1993 The report begins with a description of the background to the demographic, economic and health conditions prevailing in Botswana, particularly the challenge of the AIDS epidemic. There follows an assessment of Botswana’s human development record in terms of education, health, poverty, environment and participation. The report concludes that the main challenges facing Botswana are the interwoven problems of poverty and inequality, rapid population growth, environmental degradation and the AIDS epidemic. The report advocates addressing these problems simultaneously and outlines a ‘Human Development Strategy’ to undertake this. The final part of the report looks at how to manage human development, addressing issues of decentralization of governmental functions, planning and monitoring systems for human development, financing and community participation.

Saudi Arabia is one of the few countries in the world that hasn't hit Peak Oil production. What may be a warning sign of the Saudi's hitting Peak Oil, they are saying they will not be able to raise oil production up to 15 million barrels per day by 2020. They have to do this in order to offset their rising domestic oil consumption. The Saudi's oil use is expected to grow from 3 million barrels per day to 5 by 2020. This cheap easy Saudi oil will have to be replaced by the expensive fracking tight oil in the states and the Tar Sands oil in Canada. Once again, Peak Oil has nothing to do with running out of oil. It's about having less of the oil our economy can afford to burn so we can still grow.


Age of Falling Stars The oldest known, or rather speculated, period of history on record. Research has shown that during these times the prominent races were reptilian, although there is much debate over exactly which races. Although remnants exist of these reptiloids such as the Lizardmen and Yuan-ti their empires have crumbled to nothing in recent history. At some point during the long reign of the reptiloids there was a great upheaval and the geography of the planet was altered drastically. Shifting seas, volcanoes, earthquakes and terrible storms wracked the planet for some time. Evidence points to the cause of this as stars that fell from the heavens. Remnants of metallic ores found nowhere else on Loressea and creatures defying any logical explanation are the major sources of evidence.

Schleich Wild Life 14743 Rhinoceros The horn of a rhinoceros can grow to up to 1.5 metres in length. The rhinoceros is a huge, heavy hoofed animal with fearsome horns. Nevertheless, it is a passionate herbivore. With the horns, it defends itself against hyenas, fights against rivals or digs up tasty roots. Although the skin of rhino looks very thick, it is actually very thin and delicate, just like the skin of elephants. To cool off and avoid sunburn, it wallows in the mud. You often see small birds on rhinos, hopping around and pecking. They free the rhinos of annoying parasites. Another brilliant Schleich model!

Tables mostly make sense. Below is a fun test case: is the div in the first cell 50px or 100px? Table row heights are the max of the minimum and specified height, but that says nothing of what the percent of the contents are calculated from ('available height'): I would think the true height, but it might be the specified height (which improves complexity, I believe). Anyways, ponder (and see how different browsers interpret it differently):

	 Testing, parallelization of table layout, and some sort of sociolinguistics scheming tomorrow. Should be good..


Magnesium has no hard and fast rule when it comes to extent of reactivity. With some compounds, Magnesium has no reaction, while it has a very strong reaction when coupled with others.Continue Reading Magnesium is a metal, but it forms a solid layer of oxidation on the outside. This prevents further reaction with the oxygen in the air. It also has a very slow reaction to cold water because it quickly forms magnesium hydroxide, which is insoluble in water. This means it barely reacts with cold water, but when it comes in contact with steam it will produce magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas via thermal decomposition of the metal oxide. Magnesium will react strongly with chlorine and bromine and will dissolve in acids to form solutionsLearn more about Atoms & Molecules

The things we leave behind disappear from our lives — but not the world. This week, make one of them the centerpiece of your post. Source: The Things We Leave Behind Talipapa was founded and named by Lieutenant General Manuel Pavia y Marquez de Novaliches last 1854, who was then assigned by the Spanish Government as Philippine Governor General. His objective then was to give positive name for identification of the ares he visited. The name Barrio Talipapa came up to him when he visited a store in thius place called Talipapa, after which Barrio Talipapa (new Barangay Talipapa) was created. Sitios under this Barrio was Sangandaan, and Sauyo.


If your form has multiple columns, you no longer make individual fields smart, instead you make entire rows smart. - Smart fields are hidden when we already know the visitors information. - Therefore, the form would look very different to each visitor if just individual fields were smart rather than entire rows. - For example: - A form has three fields in a row, First Name, Last Name, and Email. - If the Last Name field is smart and the visitor already has a value for Last Name, this field would be hidden and Email would shift over to the left. - This would result in an empty space in the row. - Instead, you must now make an entire row smart, therefore the integrity of the form is maintained and the row is only hidden if we know all the values for each field.


The New Student's Reference Work/Dyne Dyne (dīn), the unit of force employed in the metric system. It is defined as that force which, acting upon a mass of one gram, will produce unit-acceleration. If we denote the acceleration of gravity by g, then the weight of one gram is equal to g dynes. And, in general, we may say that the weight, W, of any body whose mass is m grams is mg dynes, or A definition of the dyne which is exactly equivalent to that given above is the following: That force which, acting for one second, will produce unit-change of velocity in a mass of one gram. A megadyne is a force of one million dynes, and is about two per cent. greater than the weight of a kilogram.

They are destined to be scientists, just like their mommy. Look at them with their dry ice experiments. First, we did the basics. We put dry ice in warm water and watched the dry ice bubble and evaporate. (Did you know that dry ice doesn’t melt it evaporates? It goes straight from the solid phase to the gas phase. It’s called sublimation.) Then, we added some dish soap and made some huge, fun bubbles. #2 LOVED it. She kept asking for “more bubbles,” “more bubbles.” The coolest thing about the bubbles is that they were filled with carbon dioxide, so when the girls popped them, a little smoke cloud erupted. And, they loved popping them. After the “bubbles” with the dry ice (for about 30 minutes), the girls got to see what came in the dry ice! Yummy, yummy popsicles. Hosted by Cecily


TITLE: The Last Crow By SAMUEL TUCKER SEND A PRIVATE COMMENT SEND ARTICLE TO A FRIEND The Last Crow A field of newly planted corn was laid bare by a flock of crows… The field was planted again. As the corn sprouted, a farmer, seeing his crop being destroyed, laid bare half the flock. The surviving crows stayed in the trees. They watched and waited for the farmer to leave his field, but he just stood there arms open wide. As the corn grew higher, the crows became tired and hungry leaving one crow to watch as the corn ripened. After some time the lone crow flew down and ate until he could eat no more. The crow perched on the farmer’s hat, resting on the straw man’s head… Heavy with corn a crow dropped his load and a farmer dropped his last crow.

May Day is the celebration of the onset of the Month of May and the arrival of spring. For centuries it has been marked as a joyful celebration with flowers. The Maypole dance is an old English tradition for May Day. On the first day of May, villagers would gather for the celebration. A towering maypole was set up on the village green. Young girls wore floral garland wreaths in their hair and danced with ribbons around the Maypole. These lovely spring rituals even continued here in the States into the 1950's. My mother remembers celebrating May Day in grade school. In her day, they called it May Day/Play Day. She recalls dancing with crepe paper around the tether ball pole and playing lot's of fun games. Too bad these old traditions seem to fade away. So celebrate May...wear a flower in your hair and do a little dance! Happy May Day!

Pay for College Explore college costs and plan how you'll pay for your degree or certificate. Apply for Aid You can pay for college out of pocket, but many students need help — that is, some form of financial aid. Financial aid is money that comes from the federal government, the state, a college, or a private organization. To obtain aid, you'll generally have to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid though some forms of aid require other applications also. The process is simple enough, but every year, some students forego college because they think they can't afford it and won't qualify for financial aid. Don't be that student. The truth is you probably qualify for some type of aid. Also, applying costs nothing, and the benefits of college are too many to pass up.

Samuel Bentham(1757-1831), Naval architect Sitter in 4 portraits Mechanical Engineer credited with numerous innovations related to naval architecture and artillery. At the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed to a shipwright at Woolwich Dockyard. In 1780 he travelled to Russia and was employed by Prince Potemkin. Hired initially as a shipbuilder, Bentham eventually came to have complete responsibility over the administration of Potemkin's estate. In 1791, Bentham became Inspector-General of Naval Works to improve naval efficiency and economy in Britain. His main endeavour in this role was to increase efficiency and economy. Bentham was successful in this task, introducing pioneering measures to assess the size of the dock basins and minimise the risk of fire in the yards. by William Walker


Wednesday, October 21, 2009 The Spruce Goose. the Spruce Goose The craft was built of wood to determine whether that non-critical material could be used in lieu of metals which were in short supply in the waning years of World War II. The plane's wing span would reach beyond the goal lines on a football field. Hughes designed the Spruce Goose to carry 500 to 700 troops. Nov. 2, 1947 Hughes climbed into toe pilot's seat and taxied the mammoth plane through to waters off downtown Long Beach. More than 15,000 persons lined the beach to watch. Hughes pushed toe bank of eight throttles forward: The engine's propellers kicked up a frothy saltwater spray on either side of toe broad-bellied bird. The plane slowly picked up speed.

Chlodoric the Parricide ||This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (June 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)| According to Gregory of Tours, Chlodoric murdered his own father in order to take his kingdom, acting upon the instigation of Clovis I, a rival king of the Salian Franks. After Sigobert's death Clovis then accused Chlodoric of the murder and had him killed for the crime, whereupon Clovis took over the kingdom from Chlodoric. Gregory suggests that Chlodoric was murdered in the same campaign that also killed the Frankish king Chararic. Before, Clovis had killed king Ragnachar and his brothers. After all these murders, Gregory tells us, Clovis lamented that he had no family left anymore, implying that amongst his own casualties were close relatives.

This year there has been a surprising number of landslips and mudslides reported in the media. Most of these are caused by agricultural techniques to raise livestock. Land is deforested to create grazing land and roots of trees that usually support the land are removed hence the higher risk of gradual erosion and sudden slides. This produces externalities to many parts of the community. I can remember from my youth many rivers being brown, and that is the way it is for many towns. As the silt accumulates, as the river floor rises, the river can no longer be held by its banks, which have to be built higher and higher. So who is responsible? The farmers who often inherited the treeless legacy, or consumers who tend to overlook the responsibilities associated with consumption? What is a responsible course?

According to lead author John Bongaarts, the study—called “Has the HIV Epidemic Peaked?”—shows that although HIV/AIDS constitutes just 5 percent of disease prevalence in low- and middle-income countries, the epidemic receives about a quarter of global health aid. According to the article, Bongaarts says that HIV/AIDS funding would be better spent on inexpensive interventions to fight other diseases with immunizations, mosquito nets and family planning. “AIDS should now be treated like any other disease, and the world community should look at its investments in health and prepare the most cost-effective interventions,” said Bongaarts. “I’m not advocating less money for AIDS treatment, but I want more spent on AIDS prevention and other diseases. We can save lives for a few dollars.”

A number of Shakespeare's plays take place in renaissance Italy. Shakespeare never traveled to Italy himself but had heard stories, seen drawings, and painted his own picture in his mind. Shakespeare was born during High Renaissance Italy, a few steps ahead of England. Shakespeare liked the idea of writing plays in Renaissance Italy because it was far more interesting than England. England at this time was still in a dark age, not concentrated or even open to the idea of art or literature. Some of my favorite artists in Renaissance Italy Leonardo Da Vinci Antonio Allegri da Correggio


According to the Environmental Protection Agency, almost 33 million live Christmas trees are sold each year in North America. After Christmas, look for ways to recycle real Christmas trees instead of sending them to the landfill. Communities across the country organize drop-off locations for collecting trees that are later turned into mulch for hiking trails, tree fences to protect coastal wetlands, and habitats for wildlife. Find recycling centers for Christmas trees by going to Earth 911 to find a location close to your home. *Remember to remove the stand, all lights, garland, tinsel, and decorations before recycling.

This game is thanks to Andrea on the moreTPRS list. The game is called “strip bingo” so it will have your students’ full attention! To play this game, you have students tear off a “strip” of paper. Then they make 5 boxes on the paper and write down one word or phrase in each box. You can then read a story or a list of phrases that have those words in them out loud to the students. For each phrase, the students have to ALL call out what the phrase means in English (or you call them out in English and they have to say them in the target language). The students can only rip off a word or phrase from their strip of paper if it’s the last word on one end of their paper. The first person to have all of their words called and ripped off wins. No prep and the kids love it! Source: Andrea, moreTPRS


The Trojan war was a war between the Greeks a Trojan Prince named Paris abducted Helen, the wife of Menelaus of Sparta. The war started after and abduction of a queen named Helen by a Prince named Paris. The war ended when the Greeks defeated a man named Troy when they used a wooden horse that they hid inside. Two major people in the Trojan war one was Odysseus he thought of the wooden horse, and Aeneas was the only surviving Trojan Warrior. There was an important person in the Trojan war named Odyssey and the book is going to be about him. Homer was born in the 12th and 8th centuries BC. He is famous for his epic poems the lliad and the Odysseyis poems had and effect in the Western Culture.


Jews under Roman Rule by W. D. Morrison This book focuses on the role of the Jewish states and people during the period of Roman influence. When the Romans first encountered Judaea it was under the influence of the Macedonian empire. The Romans gave the Jewish state a great deal of autonomy, but tried to integrate it into the greater empire, and the Jewish people, largely due to a resurgence of religious vigor, rebelled. The Roman Jewish rebellions continued throughout the first and second centuries, and affected not only the Jews, but also the Christian communities that had sprung from them.

Pickle Fork - A great gift idea. The British Pickle Fork Rumor has it that the British Pickle Fork was invented by the British Navy in WWII. A convoy of naval ships were positioned off the south coast of England in order to escort cargo ships plying between the USA and England. While waiting for deployment a small group of sailors occupied themselves bending forks from the ship's galley to make them into pickle forks. After the war ended, several ex sailors continued the manufacture of pickle forks and to this day, they are very popular in England.


The contemporary relegation of conifers mainly to cold or infertile sites has been ascribed to low competitive ability. Lusk et al. use 3-D modelling of plant architecture and structural equation modelling to compare self-shading and light interception potential of seedlings of six conifers and 12 angiosperm trees from temperate rainforests, and show that seedlings of conifers display only about half the effective leaf area of their angiosperm competitors, due to differences in specific leaf area, biomass distribution, leaf angles and self-shading. The superior light interception potential of angiosperm seedlings therefore probably contributes to the success of this lineage in productive environments where vegetation is structured by light competition.

April 16, 2014 New images from Nasa’s Cassini-Huygens space probe suggest that Saturn may be in the process of forming a new moon, which has already been affectionately named by scientists as ‘Peggy’. The tiny, icy satellite has not been spotted directly, but a bulge in Saturn’s A Ring – the brightest and outermost ring – suggests that the new arrival could soon join Saturn’s already impressive family of 62 moons. “We have not seen anything like this before,” said astronomer Carl Murray, lead author of a study in Icarus which outlined the findings and the discoverer of the moon. “We may be looking at the act of birth, where this object is leaving the rings and heading off to be a moon in its own right.”

It’s a little too hot to send people, but NASA plans to send a spacecraft to the sun by 2018. As part of their Solar Probe Plus mission, the spacecraft will orbit in the sun’s outer atmosphere, constantly sampling the environment and testing for radiation.The main goals are to discover why the sun’s atmosphere is hotter than its surface, and what causes “solar winds” that affect the rest of the solar system. The spacecraft can only go about four million miles away from the sun, but it’s the closest NASA has ever gone. Even at that distance, it will have to withstand intense radiation and temperatures over 2550 degrees Fahrenheit . This expedition will be the first trip to any star, let alone the sun.

THE claymore is a double-edged longsword widely used by clans in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries during the late medieval period. Later iterations of claymores used in the 17th and 18th centuries were basket-hilted (as opposed to the cross-hilted design of earlier claymores) to protect the fighter’s hand in combat. Such designs were referred to as claidheamh cuil, or back-swords, in Gaelic. No doubt keen to adopt the battling qualities long associated with the weapon, Scotland’s first American football franchise - the Scottish Claymores - took the name and managed to win a World Bowl championship in 1996. Former Scotland captain Gavin Hastings was a notable player for the Claymores, though Scott Couper is probably the team’s most celebrated Scottish player.


Why does climate change make for stronger storms and more intense precipitation? It’s one of the clearest, most elementary predictions from fundamental physics, that a warmer atmosphere holds more water. In addition, this is one of the easiest to document changes that has been observed as climate changes. Below, interviews with scientists explaining the hows and whys – the kind of succinct explanation that moved Slate’s “Bad Astronomer” Phil Plait to write: ..it pays to keep things on-topic, short, and sweet.

Bahāristān (The Garden of Spring) Under the patronage of the Emperor Akbar, miniature painting in Mughal India, and the associated arts of decoration and calligraphy, reached a high point. His court painters worked in the Persian tradition, but invested it with their own energetic Mughal style. Among the finest products of Akbar’s patronage is this superb manuscript of the Bahāristān (Garden of Spring), a fifteenth-century classic by the great Persian poet Jāmī. The text was written in a beautiful nastaʿlīq script by the great scribe Muḥammad Ḥusayn, who held the title of Zarīn Qalam, or Pen of Gold. Specialist artists drew marginal figures, animals, birds and arabesques in gold outline on coloured paper. Illustrating scenes from the poem are six miniatures by the finest artists of the time.

Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is a cancer that starts in the stomach. Certain types of H. pylori have greater risks than others. Other common causes include eating pickled vegetables and smoking. Smoking increases the risk of developing gastric cancer significantly, from 40% increased risk for current smokers to 82% increase for heavy smokers. Gastric cancers due to smoking mostly occur in the upper part of the stomach near the esophagus. Some studies show increased risk with alcohol consumption as well. This is then followed by medical imaging to determine if the disease has spread to other parts of the body. Surgery remains the only curative therapy for stomach cancer. The pathologic examination of the resected specimen shows incomplete resection or deep invasion by tumor, the patient would need a formal stomach resection.


Darlene Zimmerman is a registered dietician at Ford Hospital. She said skip the saturated fats. "Fat that is solid at room temperature, that's the way to think of it," she said. There are alternatives. Want that red meat? Skip the steak and pick the beef tenderloin instead. It tastes good but cuts down on the bad fats. She also said to eat foods to protect your heart, especially beans. "Kidney, navy, black, garbanzo, any bean. They're a great source of soluble fiber which lowers bad cholesterol." There's good fat in avocados, too. In fact, it's the same that's found in olive oil and peanut oil A whole grain many people don't eat is farro, which can be used as a substitute for rice. Eating whole grains have lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer. Lastly, for the women, strawberries and blueberries. Women who eat them three times a week have lower risk of heart attack.


We always hear of dark chocolates being good for the heart. True, but do you know that here are about two times more antioxidant in an unprocessed cocoa seed than the dark chocolate we can buy in packages from stores? Being processed, cocoa looses 90% of polyphenols/flavanoids when roasted. |Photo by Mister GC from freedigitalphotos.net| Polyphenols are chemicals from plants that had been proven to have significant health benefits that could prevent cancer, heart disease, diabetis and high blood pressure according to the American Cancer Society (Livestrong.com).

In our "Dickens at Christmas" video, Professor Jon Mee discuss the link between Dickens and Christmas and says: Did Dickens invent Christmas? Well all I can really say to that is Bah! Humbug! He invented that phrase that everyone knows and everybody knows it is associated with Ebenezer Scrooge, a character that people know even if have never read a word of Dickens. Did he invent turkey, stuffing, mistletoe, holly, red berries, all the things that the ghost of Christmas present brings into A Christmas Carol? No, he didn’t invent those, they were already a part of Christmas festivities. What perhaps he did invent was the idea of Christmas as a special point of light in a dark, violent, often unpredictable world of getting and spending. Professor Jon Mee

Interpersonal Acceptance Rejection Theory (IPARTheory) After studying thousands of children and adults in every major ethnic group in America as well as internationally, it is clear that children’s need to be loved by parents and other significant caregivers is a universal, probably biologically based, human need. When children/adults don’t get this need satisfied adequately they tend to respond in the same way—without regard to differences in race, gender, ethnicity, language, or other such defining conditions. In addition, research reveals that the negative effects sometimes associated with such parental behaviors as corporal punishment and restrictive control are most often due to the feelings of rejection that those behaviors may produce in children, but not to the punishment or control itself.

Probability is ordinarily used to describe an attitude of mind towards some proposition of whose truth we are not certain. The proposition of interest is usually of the form "Will a specific event occur?" The attitude of mind is of the form "How certain are we that the event will occur?" The certainty we adopt can be described in terms of a numerical measure and this number, between 0 and 1, we call probability. The higher the probability of an event, the more certain we are that the event will occur. Thus, probability in an applied sense is a measure of the likeliness that a random event will occur. |Includes CC-BY-SA content from Wikipedia's Probability article (authors)|


The Terrace of the Leper King (or Leper King Terrace) (Khmer: ព្រះលានស្តេចគំលង់, Preah Learn Sdech Kunlung) is located in the northwest corner of the Royal Square of Angkor Thom, Cambodia. It was built in the Bayon style under Jayavarman VII, though its modern name derives from a 15th-century sculpture discovered at the site. The statue depicts the Hindu god Yama, the god of death. The statue was called the "Leper King" because discolouration and moss growing on it was reminiscent of a person with leprosy, and also because it fit in with a Cambodian legend of an Angkorian king Yasovarman I who had leprosy. The name that the Cambodians know him by, however, is Dharmaraja, as this is what was etched at the bottom of the original statue.


GreennMann writes "An ice bridge linking a shelf of ice the size of Jamaica to two islands in Antarctica has snapped. Scientists say the collapse could mean the Wilkins Ice Shelf is on the brink of breaking away, and provides further evidence of rapid change in the region. Sited on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Wilkins shelf has been retreating since the 1990s. Researchers regarded the ice bridge as an important barrier, holding the remnant shelf structure in place. Its removal will allow ice to move more freely between Charcot and Latady islands, into the open ocean." DEAL: For $25 - Add A Second Phone Number To Your Smartphone for life!

Guys! This is exciting!! For the first time in 3 decades, seeds of the very endangered Japanese Birch tree have been germinated by scientists! There were only 21 specimens left in a remote area in some mountains near Tokyo, but when a group of scientists hiked there to study the trees, they found seeds on the trees. They collected about 1000, and 100 of them have germinated. The scientists are learning how to grow them so they can reintroduce them into their habitat and aid them in surviving. Japanese Birch is under threat from deforestation and habitat degradation. It is also vulnerable to natural disaster or disease because of its restricted distribution and small population sizes. This species has no closely related living relatives and is considered a relic species (a remnant of a previously widely occurring, diverse population).

Tips What do you need to know about taking the test? US Keyboards In the computer rooms, you will find keyboards with a Swiss-German layout (CHD). Although you will be taking the test using this type of keyboard, the text will appear on the screen according to US keyboard layout. Examples: When you press the "z" key, the letter "y" appears on the screen. Although the Swiss-German keyboard has the "!" character in the upper right, on the US keyboard you need to use "shift+1". Earplugs According to the official regulations, the test takers are placed side by side at the computers. This can lead to noise in the test room, especially during the speaking section. We therefore recommend that you bring along your own earplugs or ear protection.

Autotrophic nutrition involves the use of an external energy source to make the complex organic molecules that we call food from inorganic substances The organism that carry out autotrophic nutrition are called autotrophs. Plants use light energy from the sun as their external energy source, this type of autotrophic nutrition is photosynthesis. During photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water are used to manufacture carbohydrates. Light energy is trapped by chlorophyll and used to fix carbon dioxide, firstly to reduce it to carbohydrates. Plant manufacture all the other organic molecules that they need from these carbohydrates and very small quantities of mineral ions obtained from the soil.

Lily Embryo, Specimen 1 A plant embryo is actually an immature plant that is surrounded by stored nutritive materials that are enveloped in a protective seed coat. The embryo typically consists of embryonic roots referred to as radicles, an embryonic stem, the hypocotyl, and leaf like structures, or cotyledons. Lilies are classified as monocots because they produce only a single cotyledon. This embryonic leaf absorbs nutrients from the seed package until the embryo germinates and develops into a seedling, which is able to produce true leaves that generate food through the process of photosynthesis. All seeds encase plant embryos, which remain dormant until activated by water and climate conditions that entice germination. The highest magnification image sequence recorded with a 100x oil-immersion objective.


Northern Chile, home to the Atacama Desert, typically receives no rain in July, with an average yearly rainfall total of 0.03 inches. There are some parts of northern Chile, such as the city of Calama, that have never recorded rain in any amount.Continue Reading Northern Chile is considered the world's driest place; between October 1903 and January 1918, no rain fell there. This harsh climate, combined with its high elevation, has rendered the Atacama Desert the driest on earth and among the world's most desolate places. The Altiplano Plateau, also in northern Chile, does see some rain, with most of it falling in January and February.Learn more about South America

As of 2014, this vaccination has been available in 117 countries . Two inactivated vaccines are available in the United States for protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. The guidelines in that country recommend that adults take both of them in the elderly years as the two products are not identical. The schedule for the shots will vary, and this has to do with when the patient began the series [1, 2, 3]. Specifically, the variation will depend on whether the injections occur prior to, at, or after the age of 65. It will also depend on the presence or absence of immune system compromise and other serious medical conditions. In some regions of the world, vaccination begins at the age of 50 as this is officially the onset of elderly years [1, 2, 3]. The use of both vaccines generates a better antibody response than will one alone .


In this video we discuss the history of Wahhabism and the Saudi regime. The ideology of Wahhabism is an 18th century C.E. innovation that is not historically connected to the era of the Salaf era–which ended in the 10th century C.E. Rather, the Wahhabi was a fringe sect that propagated its power by way of mass terror and mass killings, and came to have the influence that it does today because of the TREMENDOUS wealth generated from the oil reserves in the region. PLEASE educate the public about this movement, the dangers it poses, and how Wahhabism (quasi-Salafism) does NOT represent Islam. Please watch, share, and subscribe. Your support is GREATLY appreciated.


The use of English for doing business in multinational settings is a fact of life for many business people. As Asian economies expand and become more involved in the global economy, a lingua franca – a language used to communicate among groups of people who do not share a mother tongue – is needed to exchange information. This course has two goals. The first is to introduce non-native speakers of English to methods for developing spoken English language and communication skills for doing business in Asia. The second is to examine the impact of interculturality and globalization on English communications. By exploring and participating in a business simulation set in Asia, you will develop the principal skills for effective communication in English when conducting business in China and other Asian countries.

- Recombination in dihybrid crosses You have screened for several new recessive mutations in a species of wasp. Wasps homozygous for apricot (aa) have pale orange eyes. (Wild-type eyes are brown.) Wasps homozygous for blunt (bb) have short wings. (Wild-type wings are long.) You make a pure-breeding double-mutant (apricot, blunt ) line and cross it with wild-type wasps. The F1 is wild-type in appearance. You testcross the F1 dihybrids with the double-mutant line (the “tester” genotype) and obtain four phenotypes in the F2 Determine the following for each F2 the haploid genotype of the gamete it received from the F1 dihybrid its full diploid genotype whether the gamete it received from the F1 dihybrid was recombinant (REC) or nonrecombinant (nonREC).


Fabien Cousteau just concluded his 31-day underwater research mission, where six scientists studied coral reefs in a small chamber 63 feet underwater off the coast of Key Largo. The long-term underwater residence gave them a first-hand glimpse of some never-before-seen underwater phenomena, as Cousteau told PBS's Hari Sreenivasan in this all-too-short interview from the ocean floor. Cousteau, grandson of famed ocean explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, timed the mission to both mark the 50th anniversary of a similar long-term study his grandfather conducted, and add a day to the 30-day record set half a century ago. The team returned to land this week, armed with tons of data that will go toward at least 10 research papers on the topic of climate change and the state of our oceans. [PBS; The Miami Herald]


Give Me 5 is a fun, motivating way to work on articulation skills with your students in small groups/pairs! This is based on the popular game, Connect 4. To use, print out target sheets. (This works best in groups of 2, or you could play with your student during one on one sessions.) Give one sheet to a pair of students. Have them take turns practicing a target word or making a sentence for the word. After they practice the target of their choice, have them color in the corresponding “high five hand.” The goal is to get 5 hands in a row- across, down, or diagonal. These are great sheets to send home as homework. Or, save some ink and place them in page protectors/ laminate them and use with dry erase markers! k, g, z, s, r, l, SH, CH, TH, f, v


Monday, September 21, 2009 Broom Sedge is a familiar plant in Kentucky. It grows in pastures and along roadsides. It is green to pale green in color during the growing season and the leaf blades are flat and tapered. It has spike like clusters that are narrow with a protruding hairy bristle. To see the colorful beauty of this plant, wait for a wintry day and pull the stem from one of the sheaths to see colors that range from yellow to copper to bright orange red. To make a broom, tie large handfuls of the stems together, beat out the hairy spikelets and trim the edges, it's ready to use. The "hay man" tells me if I have broom sedge growing, I need to lime the field.


Night of Broken Glass From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia Not long before the Holocaust began, in November of 1938, 27-year-old Jim Freklowski got upset because his mother decided he was much too old to keep up with his early-evening nakee time. He threw his glass sippy cup on the floor, which shattered beyond repair. Luckily, Jim Freklowski had a wonderful imagination, and the sippy cup did not actually shatter because it was made of plastic. The mess was nothing that Brawny paper towels couldn't clean up. edit Interesting Facts - Jim Freklowski, although quite elderly, still practices nakee time every day. - His mother Sharon is actually a bagel, which has since been buried in the backyard. - She was a very tasty bagel, though UN regulations prevent governmental recognition of this fact.

On UK Farms there is more than enough manure to meet heat demand. The below chart compares the heat demand for minimum ventilation (red) to the heat required to optimise conditions for bird welfare (green). Even when meeting this increased demand for heat there is manure left over. A Combined Heat and Power (CHP) will generate electricity throughout the flock to ensure all the manure created of a farm may be used to meet energy needs (green line). Approximately half the electricity demand on the site can be met using this system, and 90% of the sites heat demand. Every site is different and BHSL build a custom energy model for each site when designing the solution. Warmer climates will have lower heat demands leaving more heat available for generating electricity.


There is a strong visual image of Africa that endures across the world; depictions of poverty, famine and endless conflict on a continent that has struggled to recover from slavery, colonialism and desperate fights for independence. Even though it is the fastest-growing region in the world, a recent European survey showed that people still see Africa as the "hopeless" continent. Poverty, famine, darkness, corruption and tribal wars are all images still deeply intertwined with the history and identity of Africa in the Western imagination. But what happens when Africans themselves begin to remake the images from their point of view? Can they reverse the negative stereotypes of Africa and Africans? And why is it important? This week, South2North speaks to African photographers Neo Ntsoma and George Osodi, and art curator and critic Okwui Enwezor.
