Most fascinating is a feature that would make any journalist tremble. Tuyuca requires verb-endings on statements to show how the speaker knows something. Diga ape-wi means that “the boy played soccer (I know because I saw him)”, while diga ape-hiyi means “the boy played soccer (I assume)”. English can provide such information, but for Tuyuca that is an obligatory ending on the verb. Evidential languages force speakers to think hard about how they learned what they say they know.I wonder what would have resulted if Socrates had spoken Tuyuca.... More here. Saturday, March 20, 2010 Barking Up the Wrong Tree cites a firewalled Economist article on difficult languages. I like this feature of Tuyuca, the language spoken by the 500-1000 Tuyuca people who reside in the Colombian and Brazilian Amazonas.

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question! I am assuming that you want to write an equation given the slope and a point on the line? You can use slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is your slope and b is your y-intercept. First find your slope if you need to using your change in y/change in x. When you have the slope and the point given, substitute the slope and the solution into the slope intercept formula and solve for b. Once you have "b", you can write the equation by substituting in the slope and the b in the y=mx+b formula. Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions. Nov 25th, 2015 Did you know? You can earn $20 for every friend you invite to Studypool!

According to Plato, Beauty was an idea or Form of which beautiful things were consequence. Beauty by comparison begins in the domain of intelligible objects, since there is a Form of beauty. The most important question is: what do all of these beautiful things have in common?. To know that is to know Beauty. The Theory of Forms maintains that two distinct levels of reality exist: the visible world of sights and sounds that we inhabit and the intelligible world of Forms that stands above the visible world and gives it being. For example, Plato maintains that in addition to being able to identify a beautiful person or a beautiful painting, we also have a general conception of Beauty itself, and we are able to identify the beauty in a person or a painting only because we have this conception of Beauty in the abstract… View original post 2,133 more words


(Preparation: Cut out the bottom of a shoe box, resulting in a cardboard box that can bend at the corners.) I introduce the square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezoid at the chalkboard, noting the properties of the sides and the angles. To summarize the lesson, I hold the shoebox in front of the class and say: "If you bend a rectangle like Gumby, what quadrilateral do you get?" (parallelogram). Bending the shoe box demonstrates the change in angles, and the fact the length of the sides have not changed. I then ask: "If you bend a square like Gumby, what quadrilateral do you get?" The whole thing sounds silly -and that is exactly why my students remember it so well!

Posted 5 years ago Hubley toys appeared in 1909 and were made of cast-iron. Starting around 1940, the company shifted to diecast zinc alloy molding Automobiles, trucks and airplanes later became Hubley's main focus. Several steps were involved in Hubley's casting process. Wood form carvings were used. After pouring the molten metals and the rough edges were smoothed out, painters applied a base coat to cast figure toys. Colorists would use a variety of hues highlighting important details. This is Hubley's #5 Racer 2-457. The driver is missing, (however I'm on a fishing expedition to get one). These are BIG toys, about 7 inches long and heavy. They feel substantial in your hand.

3,422 ancient Carthaginian coins discovered off of Sicily Italian archaeologists have retrieved a sunken treasure of 3,422 ancient bronze coins in the small Sicilian island of Pantelleria, they announced today. Discovered by chance during a survey to create an underwater archaeological itinerary,the coins have been dated between 264 and 241 BC. At that time, Pantelleria, which lies about 70 miles southwest of Sicily, in the middle of the Sicily Strait, became a bone of contention between the Romans and Carthaginians.Rome captured the small Mediterranean island in the First Punic War in 255 BC, but lost it a year later. In 217 BC, in the Second Punic War, Rome finally regained the island, and even celebrated the event with commemorative coins and a holiday.


|Nevada Historical Marker #152| "Situated between Black Rock Desert on the east and Smoke Creek Desert on the west, the townsite of Gerlach lies in country long occupied by prehistoric man. John C. Fremont traveled through Northern Paiute Indian lands, when he camped here in 1843 and named "Boiling Spring" 1/4 mile north of town. This is also emigrant country; the Noble Road left the Applegate-Lassen Trail at Black Rock Springs, went past this site and southward through Smoke Creek Desert toward Susanville. The town was established when the Western Pacific Railroad was constructed in Nevada 1905-1909. It still functions as a railroad division headquarters. [S.R. 447 in Gerlach (Washoe)]"

Once upon a time, transferring just a few kilobytes of data between computers in different locations was considered near science fiction fantasy, or at least a cutting edge military computer science experiment. As our technology has evolved, the transfer of data has underpinned the backbone of our society. Let’s not forget then that those little boxes we call modems, routers and switches were all born from a need to connect teletype machines together, transferring information at a stunningly slow 25 bits per second. At that rate, this post might take as long as 12 days to completely download. In their quest to fully appreciate the invention of the modem, our friends at Broadband Choices prepared this spiffy infographic on the history of the modem.

This article starts out with basic LED arrays and controlling them with an Arduino. Then it gets into the more complex stuff, like controlling the array with a computer. Finally, he explains how to use a web-cam and Processing to convert the video signal into an 8X8 LED matrix. All the source code and schematics are available to download on the site. The final one is a question from Ray. The Processing program takes input from a webcam through the use of JMyron. The camera image is down-sampled to 8Ã—8 with black and white information only. Each 8Ã—8 frame is sent to the Arduino board to display in the LED panel. The image hardly resembles the original but in itself looks quite nice. Read more about an Arduino with 8Ã—8 LED Matrix

Primary Care means all of the health or social care services that you can find in your community, outside of a hospital setting. This includes G.P.s, Public Health Nurses, H.S.E. Psychology, Counselling in Primary Care, and a range of other services provided through your local health centre. A Primary Care Team is a team of health professionals who work closely together to meet the needs of the people living in the community. They provide a single point of contact to the health system. The Primary Care Team members also link with other community based services - such as H.S.E. mental health services - to ensure all your health and social needs are supported. The HSE.ie online service finder lists health centres nationwide. You can find Primary Care services within these centres.


In 1909, Edward Titchener, a psychologist, translated the German word Einfühlung, meaning “feeling into,” into English. The word he created was Empathy. Empathy can be defined as a person’s ability to share the emotions of another person or sentient being. It enables us to share the experiences others have in this life. Empathy is routinely confused with sympathy, pity, and compassion, which are reactions to the plights of others. Pity is the feeling of discomfort at the distress of another sentient being and has serious condescending implications. Sympathy is defined as feeling concern or care for others. Sympathy does not involve shared emotions the way that empathy does. You can’t sympathize with a dove that has a broken wing, but you can empathize with it.


29 March 2014 Gross domestic product (GDP) GDP is the money value of final goods and services produced within the domestic territory of the country during a given period of time, a quarter or a year. GDP is the output produced within a country’s borders regardless of whether it is produced by the country’s factors or not. GDP in open economy GDP= C + I + G + (X-M) GDP in closed economy GDP= C + I + G GDP (factor cost) = GDP (market price) – indirect taxes + subsidies. GDP (market prices) = GDP (factor cost) + indirect taxes – subsidies.

Ceroxylon quindiuense wax palm is the national tree of Colombia. It only grows in high altitudes in Cocora Valley and it is the tallest monocot plant in the world. Naturally, Ceroxylon quindiuense is a palm that grows on the highest altitudes. Cocora is the only place of its growth. A tree can reach the height of 50 meters, and can live up to 120 years. The total area of the valley is more than sixty thousand square kilometers, and has an altitude between 1800 and 2400 meters. The regular felling of trees by indigenous people reduced drastically the number of palms, which forced the government to provide protection for the trees.


The technical definition of biodiesel is a fuel suitable for use in compression ignition (diesel) engines that is comprised of fatty acid monoalkyl esters derived from biologically produced oils or fats including vegetable oils, animal fats and microalgal oils. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel which can be made using a simple chemical process from waste vegetable oil. It can be used directly in any diesel engine, either neat or mixed in any ratio with petroleum diesel. It is a green fuel, does not contribute to the carbon dioxide (CO2) burden and produces drastically reduced engine emissions. It is non-toxic and biodegradable. Biodiesel has a much higher lubricity than petroleum diesel and its use can prolong engine life


A 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan today (April 7) just 21 miles (34 km) from the epicenter of the massive 9.0 one that struck on March 11. Aftershocks are caused by stress changes in the faults near a large earthquake. "When an earthquake happens, it changes the stress in the vicinity around it, and if there are other faults nearby, this increase in stress can trigger them and produce more earthquakes. In other places, it relaxes the crust and puts earthquakes off," U.S. Geological Survey earthquake geologist David Schwartz told Life's Little Mysteries. Here's how the March 11 quake and first aftershock changed the stress level in the region. - When Will the Aftershocks In Japan End? - Japan's Explosive Geology Explained - Bogus Claim: Japan Earthquake Won't Trigger California Quake


A research team in the Mayo Clinic and University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have discovered that measles virus could be altered to infect tumor cells, and thereby treat cancer! They came to this conclusion after finding novel data on how measles virus enters cells. Two proteins - attachment protein and fusion protein - on the envelope of the helical virus binds to the host and allows fusion with the hosts' cell membrane, respectively. They found that the flexibility of the attachment protein was necessary to initiate cell fusion. The flexibility refers to the ability of the attachment protein's heads to twist to allow entry into cells. Successful twisting and entry allows the virus to infect cells. Thus, the researchers are now doing experiments by mutating measles virus envelope proteins to specifically infect tumor cells in cancer.


The theory that all cells of an organism contain an equivalent complement of genetic information. Genomic equivalence has been confirmed for most cells, but exceptions occur in some animal cells where loss, gain, or rearrangement of nuclear DNA has been observed. Examples of such exceptions include chromatin diminution (q.v.) in somatic cells of some nematodes, selective amplification of rRNA genes in Xenopus oocytes, and DNA excision and rearrangement during mammalian lymphocyte maturation that result in the generation of antibody diversity. See gene amplification, immunoglobulin genes. Subjects: Genetics and Genomics.


Range managers have long known that overgrazing changes the plant composition of pastures. As a result, plant species are referred to as increasers, decreasers or invaders. This is a reference to their reaction to years of overgrazing (generally by cattle as opposed to sheep). By knowing how a few common species react to grazing and monitoring their abundance in pastures, managers can improve forage quality, quantity and, consequently, profits," says Chuck Lura, rangeland specialist at North Dakota State University’s Central Grasslands Research Extension Center near Streeter.

Blogging can be considered as an essential tool for English as it helps articulate what we are not able to talk about in class. In class, the students may not always be able to share their writing pieces or what they are thinking about, having these blogs provides a chance to the kids to express their thoughts and share their opinions on what they are learning and/or experiencing in their lives. Blogging gives us a chance to convey our ideas and show how our ways of learning have affected us and helped us improve on our general skills. If you are an introvert or a shy student, blogging helps to communicate what you feel uncomfortable saying in class. Overall, I think that blogging is a very helpful tool in English class and personally, I feel that by blogging about the things we are learning in class helps us get a deeper insight and improves our understanding on the topic.


Congenital nevi are moles that are present at birth. These birthmarks have a slightly increased risk of becoming skin cancer depending on their size. Larger congenital nevi have a greater risk of developing skin cancer than do smaller congenital nevi. All congenital nevi should be examined by a health care provider and any change in the birthmark should be reported. If a dermatologist believes a mole needs to be evaluated further or removed entirely, he or she will either remove the entire mole, or first take just a small tissue sample of the mole to examine thin sections of the tissue under a microscope (a biopsy). This is a simple procedure. (If the dermatologist thinks the mole might be cancerous, cutting through the mole will not cause the cancer to spread.) Read more about moles, freckles, and skin tags.

A dedicated Detroit firefighter spent the day educating our students on arson awareness. He explained the dangers of fire and shared important safety tips in case of our house fire. He displayed a smoke alarm and taught the students the importance of having working smoke alarms throughout the house and encouraged them to check and replace the batteries at least twice a year. He also explained how to check the heat of a door with the back of their hands and how to stay low to the ground under smoke. He encouraged students who stay on the second floor or higher to hang something – anything , out of a window so the firefighters will know immediately you’re in there and need rescuing. The presentation ended with a few students having the opportunity to try on equipment and literally walk in the shoes of a firefighter.


Dilution in turbulent buoyant jets is caused by entrainment of surrounding ambient material into the discharge plume. In this region, the initial jet characteristics of momentum flux, buoyancy flux, and outfall geometry influence jet trajectory and mixing. Entrainment is a turbulent process caused by shear stress between the discharge flow and surrounding ambient fluid. The effluent discharge plume is referred to simply referred to as the "flow". A discharge with no buoyancy is referred to as a "nonbuoyant jet" or "pure jet". A release of buoyancy only (no initial momentum) is called a "pure plume". A discharge with both momentum and buoyancy is call a "buoyant jet" or "forced plume". Positively buoyant flows are defined where the buoyancy force acts vertically upwards against the gravity force; negative buoyancy is defined as acting downwards in the direction of the gravity force.


A Division (方, Fang) was the equivalent of an army under a general. Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jue had set up 36 Divisions prior to his attack on the Han in 184 A.D. There are two sorts of Divisions; Large Divisions and Small Divisions. It is known that Ma Yuanyi commanded a Large Division. A Large Division (dà fāng, 大方) had 10.000+ men A Small Division (xiǎo fāng, 小方) had 6.000 or 7.000 men - Historian Maspero translates the terms for leaders as Magicians and Regional Leaders. - Paul Michaud and Howard S. Levy translate qu-shuai (渠帥) as 'great leaders', which is incorrect.


How it Spreads The mite is transferred from bee to bee in the hive, and then from colony to colony when a bee drifts, robs from another hive or swarms - this accounts for short distance spreading of Varroa. Larger distance spreading is caused by infested colonies being transported around by beekeepers or commercial keepers who move their bees long distances seeking flowering crops. What to Look Out for! Most of the bees live to emerge from the cell despite being attacked in the cell as it matures, but some do die during its pupal-stage. The bee has a shorter life span and is often weak and suffers weight loss. Another sign on an emerged bee is shrunken or deformed wings, reduced resistance to infections and finally patches of neglected or dead brood.

Schmack BioEnergy designed an incredible methane-powered sewage plant for Akron, Ohio, that is saving that city 15% in electrical costs. “Akron’s methane-powered sewage plant is the only system of its kind in the United States. But other cities, including Solon and Canton, now are looking to follow Akron’s lead. Use of this biological process to create energy from waste should gain momentum within the next five to 10 years, predicted Jim Currie of Ohio State University. That’s because conventional ways of disposing of waste are becoming too expensive and our appetite for new fuel sources is increasing, said Currie, program director of BioHio at OSU’s Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster. “The hurdle is showing people how well the system works,” Currie said.” Director, Sustainable Business Initiative


In an ideal situation? Nothing – learning goes on because students are curious about their physical and social environment and want to keep on interacting with it. Of course we don’t call it formally “learning” when they are exploring the shores, forests, parks, malls or streets of their hometown or holiday destination. We call it free time or vacation. Yet, if your students have learned how appropriate and important the question Why? is, they will make the most of their free time as well and keep on learning while wondering and reflecting upon the things they notice She mentions that current education systems have been killing curiosity and notes the importance of detaching learning from school.


Chincoteague ponies, origin unknown. In 1835, the first written description of "pony penning" appeared, though the practice of rounding up livestock on the island existed for many years before that. Initially, unclaimed animals were marked for ownership by groups of settlers. By 1885, the event had become a festival day, and two days of horse and sheep roundups were held on Assateague and Chincoteague Islands. These photos capture something of the beautiful spirit of these unique horses. One of the buy-backs breaks free. A mare grazes 2 or 3 miles north of the Assateauge Lighthouse.

Shacklewell became the home of Sir John Heron, a senior financial adviser to the first two Tudor monarchs; his house (demolished after 1743) stood north of Shacklewell Green, between today’s Perch, April and Seal Streets. One of a number of the Tudor establishment with a home in Hackney, Heron used his wealth to renovate Hackney’s St. Augustine’s Church, at the behest of his governmental colleague, Christopher Urswick, whose own service to the Tudor dynasty was rewarded with the Rectory of Hackney. Sir John’s son, Giles, married Thomas More’s daughter Cecily. Like his father-in-law, he lost his head in 1540 for refusing to accept Henry VIII’s religious changes. The family home was sold to the Rowes, who produced two Lord Mayors of London and a regicide. In 1685 it was bought by the Dutch Tyssen family. As they came to own most of Hackney, it was known as the ‘Manor House.’


Pont de les Ferreres or Devil's Bridge Aqueduct Date of construction is uncertain, some believe that it was built during the era of Augustus.Restored during the reign of caliph Abd-el Rahman III and in the 18th century.

Canadians are people from Canada. Canada is part of the British Commonwealth. Canadians are also democrats and British Canadians are loyal to the British Queen as a Constitutional Monarch. French Canadians may speak French as a first language and are less loyal to the Queen. Canada is larger than the United States but more sparsely populated as the country is further to the north. Global warming will probably make the home of Canadians more hospitable while the United States boils. Dubya and his cronies probably haven’t considered how far they helped the Liberal Canadians with their oil policies.


The white-naped pigeon’s most distinguishing feature is the bright, white patch that extends from the back of the head, above the eye, to the nape of the neck. The rest of the plumage is mostly slate-grey, with exception of the mantle, which is dark purple with grey fringes, and the tail feathers, which are a whitish-grey. The eyes are yellow and surrounded by an orange-red outer ring, while the bill is yellow, becoming purplish-black towards the base. The juvenile’s plumage is mostly dark brown on the body with reddish-brown fringes on the mantle and breast, and grey on the head and tail (2). - Pigeon à nuque blanche. - Length: 34 cm (2)

This set includes 27 monster cards to compare and contrast and 6 accountable talk stems to help keep students on task. There is also an optional recording sheet if teachers would like their students to document their work.


This is a great unit to add into what you are already doing in math. This is a November themed collection of word problems. This is aligned with Common Core Math Standard 2.OA.1. These problems have unknowns in every position and teach students to write an equation with a symbol for the unknown number. There is a book cover included so you could make it into a book or you can use the pages individually. This is a great way to include 2.OA.1 into your math plans.


1. The earth is more complex than just the crust, mantle and core! 2. To the earth’s core! 3. How do we know how the internal structure of the earth looks like? Scientists study the path of seismic waves! When waves pass through materials of different density, it will bend. As it bends, the waves will reach the seismograph (the machine that records wave movements) at different times. Watch the video if you want to know more!

In a project at his previous institution, Fabrizio Gallai from the Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies at the University of Bath used wikis as a tool for online, cross-year, collaboration between students. In these videos, he shares some of the rationale, what he did and how it went. Why a Wiki? Firstly, Fabrizio discusses online collaboration and the choice of a wiki: Dr Julie Salaber of the School of Management at the University of Bath discusses how she uses wikis for seminar preparation in her teaching: If you would like more information, Julie has published a paper on her use of wikis: Julie Salaber (2014) Facilitating student engagement and collaboration in a large postgraduate course using wiki-based activities, International Journal of Management Education, 12. doi:10.1016/j.ijme.2014.03.006


Oxygen is a necessary and life sustaining element that all lifeforms need it in large amounts and all the time. A pioneers commercial oxygen reactor flashed into life in 1952 An Oxygen reactor is a reactor used to inject oxygen under pressure into water. This is done at a pressure of 0.5 4 bars. It is a large open tank at a wastewater treatment plant into which air is bubbled to provide oxygen. The reactor is closed and so no oxygen is lost. The reactor is made of either acrylic material or stainless steel, filled with a medium that disperses water efficiently. It was the first reactor to appear. The important components of oxygen reactors are: - Gauge glass - Pressure gauge - Safety valve PVC pipe for input and output runs - Airline tubing


Tom Vander Ark, founder and author of Getting Smart, conducted a podcast interview recently with Scholastic’s Ken Royal on his blog The Royal Treatment. Vander Ark articulates the positive ways technology can transform the classroom to improve learning for all students. He discusses how his recent book, Getting Smart: How Digital Learning Is Changing the World, outlines three ways technology will change learning: - Motivation, and “This shift to digital learning is really historic,” says Vander Ark. This podcast is a great overview to kick off discussion about digital learning at your school or district. Royal says, “I recommend this one as a faculty meeting, administrative council, professional development discussion starter.” To learn more about Vander Ark’s book, blog and ideas around personal digital learning in the near future, listen to the podcast below:

This lesson will introduce the concept of Computer Science and explain what a Computer Scientist does. It will also give students an opportunity to assume the role of a computer scientist. By the end of the activity, each student will have a take-home reminder of what he or she learned. You may be tempted to skip teaching young children the vocabulary words that are associated with the lessons that follow, but presenting them in a fun and playful light now is far more productive than waiting for more advanced opportunities.

martes, 26 de marzo de 2013 Hyacinthus is a small genus of bulbous flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. Plants are commonly called hyacinths /ˈhaɪəsɪnθs/. The genus is native to the eastern Mediterranean (from south Turkey to northern Israel), north-east Iran, and Turkmenistan. Several types of brodiea, squill, and other plants that were formerly classified in the lily family and have flower clusters borne along the stalk also have common names with hyacinth in them. Hyacinths should also not be confused with the genus Muscari, which are commonly known as grape hyacinths.


There are two ways to peel a banana, either from the stem or from the bottom. Peeling a banana from the bottom is easier and doesn't squish the fruit. Simply squeeze the bottom tip of the banana until it opens, and then strip away the peel.Continue Reading First, hold the banana with the stem end facing downward. Pinch the tip of the banana between two fingers. When you pinch it hard enough, the skin of the banana splits into two sections. Peel the skin toward the stem end. If you like, you can use the stem to hold the banana while you eat it.

This is the latest math game we’ve learned. It’s a fun one! Here is the playing board: You need a die and two different colours of counters to play. Once you decide who goes first, that person rolls the die and puts a counter on that number on the board. You take turns doing this until someone has four counters in a row. They can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Have fun! A variation of this game would be that on a roll you can partition the number into two parts and put down two counters instead of one. For example, if I roll a 5, I can put a counter on a 4 and a 1. We haven’t tried this variation in class yet. Another variation of the game is making a square box of 4 counters instead of a line of 4 counters in order to be the winner.


How should we teach the events of 9/11 to small children? Wayne Bell, the publisher of Really Big Coloring Books Inc. has an answer: A "graphic coloring novel" called We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids' Book of Freedom. The 36-page coloring book depicts the Twin Towers smoldering, survivors mourning the tragedy's victims, and a Navy SEAL shooting Osama bin Laden, who is (inaccurately) cowering behind a woman in a Muslim hijab. (See the image below.) Bell nevertheless claims it's "a very clean, honest read that does not shy away from the facts" about 9/11. What do you think? Is it appropriate? Should 9/11 be memorialized in crayons? Link


Ohaguro is the custom of dyeing one's teeth black. It was most popular in Japan until the Meiji era. Tooth painting was also known and practiced in the southeastern parts of China and Southeast Asia. Dyeing was mainly done by married women, though occasionally men did it as well. It was also beneficial, as it prevented tooth decay, in a similar fashion to modern dental sealants. In 1873, the empress of Japan made a radical beauty statement, appearing in public with white teeth. For centuries, tooth blackening, known as ohaguro, signified wealth and sexual maturity especially for women in Japanese society, and they would drink an iron-based black dye tempered with cinnamon and other aromatic spices to achieve the lacquered look.


This weeks blog post is on personal learning networks or PLNs for short. What are PLN's you ask? Well a PLN is a network that you use to keep up with other learners or teachers, as well as where you keep your sources of learning. You can also store items that you use on a daily basis for shopping, videos, or music. PLNs are useful for teachers since you can collaborate with other teachers and professionals. They are also good for your students to use since they can organize all their websites and resources in one place. You can use different websites to create your PLN such as Symbaloo or Netvibes. I chose to use Symbaloo to create my PLN. In it I put some websites that I use on a regular basis as well as some other resources to try out.

Word derivation for "timid" : Basque = herabe, Finnish = arka Miresua = areke Another Basque word for timid is lotsati. Another Finnish word for timid is pelokas. The word timid appears three times in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In addition, timidly occurs nine times. Alice felt so desperate that she was ready to ask help of any one; so, when the Rabbit came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, "If you please, sir--" The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go.

Near the horizon, in the middle distance, the artist portrays what awaited Custer on that fateful day, June 25, 1876. Four Crow scouts (including Curley) pay tribute to those who fell at the Battle of Little Bighorn.


I made a new activity pack to work on addition and subtraction with our kindergarten students. Number Lines are very useful tools for teaching these math skills and I made this new activity pack to focus on using them. Hop Along the Number Line includes 2 number lines that can be used with the 12 addition or 12 subtraction task cards. These can be laminated to be re-used, there is a space for students to write their answers on the task cards (use a white board marker) or there is a recording sheet. This is a great math pack to introduce how to use a number line to students, and to reinforce addition and subtraction. This pack can be purchased from my Teachers pay Teachers store: Need numbers 0-20? Find that here: Want them both? They come in a bundle for a discount!


Adrenal glands produce hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, steroids, cortisol, and cortisone, and chemicals such as adrenalin (epinephrine), norepinephrine, and dopamine.

Amino acid balancing in dairy feed a growing priority More and more dairy producers and nutritionists are balancing their rations for amino acids, according to a series of studies conducted in 2008, 2010 and 2012. In the latest survey, conducted this past June, 64% of producers and 84% of nutritionists said they balance rations for amino acids. That is a significant increase from 2010 when 53% of producers and 81% of nutritionists said they balance for amino acids. The responses were different between producers and nutritionists. Producers selected “improved reproduction” and “fewer transition cow problems,” whereas nutritionists were more focused on “increases in milk protein” and “lowering crude protein level in rations.” Both groups ranked “increased milk volume” very high.

Google+ Badge BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY Saturday, 8 December 2012 BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY: SLAVE TRADE AND SLAVERY IN BRISTOL: The Society Of Merchant Ventures an Organisation of Elite Merchants in Bristol wanted to commence participation in the African Slave Trade and after much pressure from them and other interested parties in and around Britain, the Royal African Company control over the Slave Trade was broken in 1698. As soon as the monopoly was broken the first Bristol Slave ship. The Beginning owned by Stephen Barker purchased enslaved Africans and delivered them to the Caribbean. Some Slaves average prices from £20, £50 or £100. In her will of 1693 Jane Bridges widow of Leigh Upon Mendip bequested her interest of £130 in this very ship to her grandson Thomas Bridges and she indicated that the vessel was owned by the City Of Bristol.


Ceres was a Roman goddess with the title "Mother of the Harvest." Her Greek name was was Kore, the virgin aspect of Demeter. She ruled over all grains and the words "cereal, kernal, core, corn" comes from her name. Her major early-summer festival was called the Cerealia celebrated on April 19th. Farmers performed rituals to her to safeguard their crops. One of her other titles was "Ceres the Lawgiver" and her priestesses were important in founding the Roman legal system. Her sacred "matronae" ("women of rank") ruled Rome from 600-200 B.C. Behind the scenesEdit For more information, see Ceres.

Lesson Twenty One: Completion of work The Holy Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him and his progeny) said: "إسْتِتْمامُ الْمَعْرُوفِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ إِبْتِدائهِ" Completion and continuation of a good deed is better and more important than beginning it. We often see useful projects and actions in the milieu of our social life which are left uncompleted. Their doers have started them under the influence of a sudden motive, but they have lost their enthusiasm very soon and have left them uncompleted. Islam admires faithful and diligent individuals who accomplish the useful work which they commence.1 - 1. Nahjul Fasahah


When the neighbors peered at the baby John and asked “What then will this child be?” they had no idea the path he would travel. But, Luke 1:66 tells us, “the hand of the Lord was with him.” The hand of the Lord is with your child, too. Our kids are different. We can either see that as a hindrance to them, or we can look at this story of John the Baptist as our example. Jesus Himself said of John, “I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John” (Luke 7:28). God used John’s differences to make a difference in the world.

Don’t have an account yet? Create one here, simple and easy! Philips High Intensity Discharge (HID) Bulbs High intensity discharge light bulbs (HID lamps) contain noble gases such as neon, zenon, krypton or argon to produce very high levels of light output while retaining a long average lifetime. HID bulbs are used in conjunction with a ballast to allow them to start and to regulate power while in operation. The Philips range of HID bulbs and gas discharge lamps are often the first choice for use in environments which require as much light output per watt as possible over a large area, such as in gymnasiums and warehouses and for use in street lighting. HID lamps typically have a low colour rendering, and will emit either a very cool or very warm white.


But your child's age isn't the only thing to consider when planning a family hike. Also take into account your child's activity level and physical fitness. For example, a fairly sedentary 8-year-old might flag after just 30 minutes of hiking, while a very active 5-year-old may be able to go longer. The weight of your child's backpack will affect his stamina too: The heavier the pack, the more quickly he'll tire. Play around with different weights and items — a full water bottle, a light jacket — in a day pack at home to determine what your child can handle. In general, children should never carry more than 5 to 10 percent of their body weight. And strap the day pack onto your child properly to distribute the weight evenly. Take our poll: When did you first take your child backpacking?

Specific Substances: Cumene Nomination Date: 04/09/1996 Rationale: Large segments of the population are exposed to cumene due to its high level of production and its presence in fuels. Approximately 18 million pounds of cumene are released into the environment annually. In 1988 the EPA estimated that about 3 million pounds of cumene were released from manufacturing and processing facilities and 15 millions pounds were released from vehicle emissions. Numerous short-term studies have been performed on cumene, but it has not been tested for chronic toxicity.


simplify write answer in form a+bi, where a and b are real numbers An answer in the form of a + bi is known as a complex number where a and b are real numbers and i is an imaginary number equivalent to the square root of negative 1 (-1). Although the general form of a complex number is a + bi it can appear as a + bi or a - bi. There are 4 imaginary numbers that you should learn and memorize, these numbers are as follows: i = square root of -1 i^2 = -1 i^3 = -i i^4 = 1 all powers of i after this are just repeats of the first 4 powers of i. An example of a number in a + bi form would be 3 + 2i which would have been derived from a complex number 3 + √(-4). Hope this is helpful.


| Definition - A verb that does not form its past participle by adding a suffix that ends in d, -d, or t. 1. As opposed to weak verbs, which do form past participles by adding these suffixes. 2. Weak verbs have just four forms (e.g. start, starts, starting, and started), whereas strong verbs have five forms (e.g. begin, begins, beginning, began, and begun). 3. The copula to be is a special case: it has eight forms: be, am, is, are, being, was, were, and been (as well as — archaically — art, wast, and wert). (1) sing, sang, sung (2) break, broke, broken Etymology - The terms strong verb and weak verb are loan translations of, respectively, the German starkes Verb and schwaches Verb. Both terms were coined by the linguist Jacob Grimm.


The Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) is a parasitic mite that was introduced to North America in 1985. It feeds on the hemolymph of the honeybee. It is essentially a tick for honeybees. These parasites reproduce inside a capped cell then attach to the pupae to feed on it's hemolymph. When the drone emerges, if it survives pupation, the mites will exit the cell and find another host, usually another adult honeybee and then start the reproductive process all over again. A good analogy is having a tick (or ticks) the size of a saucer attached to you and you cannot remove it. The wound made by the proboscis of the mite cannot heal because the mite secretes an immunosuppressant. This open wound provides a perfect access for viruses and bacteria. Varroa is known to transmit 18 different viruses to the honeybee and is the biggest nemesis facing the beekeeper.


Paul F. Taylor Some people believe that the account of the days of creation is merely a literary framework. While it can be convenient to group the six days into two groups of three, that should not imply that the days are not literal. In our final session, everything comes very close to home. We study the Garden of Eden and the relationship of Adam to Jesus, understanding that the Gospel itself depends on our correct understanding of what the Bible teaches about Adam.

A good story, like a good picture, is more striking with a frame. Family history is more than a collection of facts gleaned from the vital records. When well written, it tells the stories of ancestors, giving their lives context and meaning. To you it is obvious: your ancestors’ stories are illustrations of a larger point. But will your readers understand that point? A frame is a narrative device to help your reader understand. A thoughtful introduction and conclusion frame a chapter or story by adding levels of meaning that aren’t explicit in the story itself. The frame is like a magnifying lens. Your reader can get a clear overview of the themes revealed in the stories of your ancestors.

In January, the Bernard O'Brien Institute of Microsurgery in Melbourne, Australia will start a clinical trial for Neopac, a new approach to breast augmentation. The method: inserting a breast-shaped chamber under the chest skin and adding stem cells from the woman's own fat tissue. If the study works in humans as it did in preclinical trials in animals, the cells will divide and grow, creating the same permanent fat found naturally in breasts. "We are hoping...in the next two years [to] develop a biodegreadable chamber so that the fat can grow inside the chamber, and then the chamber will vanish naturally," said Phillip Marzella, the chief operating office of the Institute. The science—if it pans out—has potential as an alternative to both standard breast augmentation and post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. Stay tuned.


There are a lot of trees on this planet. But how many trees there actually are is still kind of fuzzy, because the estimates are based on satellite imagery. It’s hard to gauge density. Research by T. W. Crowther et al., recently published in Nature, used on-the-ground sampling to estimate more accurately. The global extent and distribution of forest trees is central to our understanding of the terrestrial biosphere. We provide the first spatially continuous map of forest tree density at a global scale. This map reveals that the global number of trees is approximately 3.04 trillion, an order of magnitude higher than the previous estimate. Of these trees, approximately 1.39 trillion exist in tropical and subtropical forests, with 0.74 trillion in boreal regions and 0.61 trillion in temperate regions.


Proposals are being forwarded for debate with the notion that minimum wage should be increased. Most first year economics students learn that there is a correlation: raising minimum wages increases the unemployment rate. Currently, unemployment rates are around 7.8%(U-3). Economic output is is paltry, yet we are to accept the concept of raising minimum wages? Next, how does this help poor kids and minorities? It actually prices them out of the job market as employers consider hiring folks with more skills at a higher wage of pay. Or they redirect those dollars into purchasing equipment that would yield a similar output of labor. What happens to the poor and minorities when this occurs? Dr. Thomas Sowell expands on the impact of raising minimum wages in this clip.


Sugata Mitra talks about how education has evolved along the years. In the beginning of evolution, knowledge was acquired through observation or experience; later it was transferred to others through writing, and today knowledge is everywhere. Mitra discusses the challenges for educators and the need of reexamination of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment due to the constant change of information. Finally, he explains that the role of an educator for freedom is not to provide answers, but to ask questions that will help students find them everywhere else. 12 de mayo de 2017 22 de mayo de 2017 18 de abril de 2017 Nuestra misión es la enseñanza y difusión de los principios éticos, jurídicos y económicos de una sociedad de personas libres y responsables.

|Powdery Mildew on USDA 61-1-X| Powdery mildew is caused by the fungus, Microsphaera alni, which can actually infect both leaves and nuts. Leaf infections are rare in our region but when they occur, cause no economic damage. If nuts are infected soon after pollination, powdery mildew can cause nut drop, reduce nut size or inhibit kernel fill. However, late season infections seem to have little or no impact on nut production. The pecans pictured in the photo were infected by powdery mildew in late July. They should grow to normal size and produce full kernels. Powdery mildew is often controlled by fungicide applications aimed at controlling pecan scab. In most cases, powdery mildew does not cause enough crop loss to justify the expense of additional fungicide applications specifically aimed at controlling this disease.


By Debra Kirby Flashbulb memory is a term first coined in 1977 by psychologists to describe the vivid, detailed and lasting memories triggered by experiencing or hearing news of traumatic events. Most people have a list of “flashbulb memories” that, depending on their age and location, might include the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; the JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and MLK assassinations; the Challenger explosion; and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. People often say they can remember in sharp detail where they were, what they were doing, and sometimes even what they were wearing when news of the event broke. One of the events on my flashbulb list occurred on January 27, 1967 when astronauts Gus Grissom, Edward Higgins White and Roger Chaffee perished in the launch pad fire at Cape Canaveral.


Saturday, 13 February 2016 What is a weoh? Crop mark, pinfold, mound wall, tower base, boundary monument, or weoh? Has clay, dark-brown silt and charcoal. What was going on? It was alongside a pathway to Pelsall, Wolverhampton and Wales, as well as Watling Street. The Hoard site is west of Lichfield. This photo is taken from the middle spire tower. The clues are in the detail. What also moved westwards from the early church at Lichfield? Is there a correspondence?


Last updated: 20 Oct, 2014 Mental health well being and mindfulness can be improved by brain training. Brain training exercises will enhance the mind in cognitive areas of learning skills,problem solving skills, working memory and fluid intelligence. Brain training contributes to mental well being as it helps the user to reach his or her full intellectual ability, helps people reach their full potential by making learning easier, trains the brain to deal with data,information and logic. A healthy, active brain brings a sense of well being and as brain training is scientifically proven to raise a child or adults IQ, coping and understand life's, school or business challenges becomes easier.


Download this episode The destruction of Hurricane Katrina required the largest mobilization of the Red Cross in its history. In the immediate aftermath of the hurricane thousands of victims were stranded and needed help. The Red Cross rose to this challenge quickly. Communications, logistics for supplies, mobilization of thousands of volunteers and securing shelter for the many thousands displaced were all achieved in a manner never possible before with the assistance of information technology. This is the story of the people and tools behind the scenes making the Red Cross work.

So anyway I thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone's got anything better. My irrational and complex numbers unit is pretty anemic. The way we have it calendared, we also kind of have to race through it. This intro lesson is my effort to give them something to grab onto. I'm open to suggestions. The first three are new. The last two are what I used last year (I tried it as a puzzle - see if you can figure out the patterns and determine the missing values - some of them really liked it, and some of them sat and freaked out for 20 minutes because they couldn't find the cube root function in their calculator.) I think I'm going to give them all of it this year, and instruction will be a combo of encouraging them to think/play/struggle and good old d.i. *I said Greek first. Oops.

Grenada is a country in the Caribbean Sea with a population of 106,000. As reported by the BBC, "Grenada made the world headlines in 1983 when a split in the governing left-wing party led to the overthrow and execution of the country's charismatic leader, Maurice Bishop, and provided the pretext for a US invasion of the islands." The BBC says of the country's media: - Grenada has a free media and this is guaranteed in law. The country has no daily newspapers; its privately-owned weeklies freely criticise the government. - Keith Mitchell, Prime minister since 1999, head of the centre-right New National Party - Queen Elizabeth II, Head of state, represented by Governor-General Sir Daniel Williams - Country profile: Grenada, BBC, accessed February 2008. - Ron Bhola, "Grenada struggles with its past", BBC, October 30, 2003.

You can only ask one question at a time so I edited down accordingly. SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. It is among the most advanced microscopic instruments and techniques in the world today. It can be used to visualize surface details of a sample down to the nanometer range (10^-9 meters). But individual chemical bonds are measured in the picometer range (10^-12 meters), so a scanning electron microscope cannot be used to see individual atoms in a chemical sample. The only real method to directly view various atoms directly in 3D space is X-ray crystallography. This technique uses X-rays on crystalline solid samples to view their arrangement in 3D space, thus inferring the different chemical bonds and the structure of the molecule as a whole.


To teach people about the basic ideas of Newton's second law of motion. Newton's second law explains the effect of a force. The formula for this law is Acceleration equals Force divided by M***: a=F/m. A m*** needs a force to accelerate.The bigger the force, the greater the acceleration the m*** omits: F=m(A). The smaller the force, the smaller the acceleration the m*** omits: f =m(a). The larger the m***, the smaller the acceleration: M=f/a. The smaller the m***, the larger the acceleration: m=f/A. The overall idea is that a mass can only have acceleration if a force is applied to it. The effects of a larger or smaller force cause the mass to have a larger or smaller acceleration, with the knowledge that acceleration depends on a mass' size. Our video will show you examples of these different applications.


An x-ray (also called a radiograph) is the most commonly performed medical imaging test. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of radiation to produce a digital image. X-rays are most commonly used to diagnose diseases of the chest (such as pneumonia or lung cancer) and bone disorders (such as arthritis or bone fractures). What to Expect On the day of the exam, please wear loose, comfortable clothing, avoiding garments that have zippers, belts, or buttons made of metal. You may be asked to wear a gown during the procedure. You will be asked to remove keys and jewelry in the area being scanned. Women should always inform their physicians and the technologist if there is any possibility of pregnancy. Plain X-Rays - No preparation necessary IVP (intravenous pyelogram) - nothing to eat 4 hours prior, water only okay to drink.

WASHINGTON/CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Reuters) – Scientists have for the first time detected gravitational waves, ripples in space and time hypothesized by Albert Einstein a century ago, in a landmark discovery announced on Thursday that opens a new window for studying the cosmos. The researchers said they detected gravitational waves coming from two distant black holes – extraordinarily dense objects whose existence also was foreseen by Einstein – that orbited one another, spiraled inward and smashed together. They said the waves were the product of a collision between two black holes roughly 30 times the mass of the Sun, located 1.3 billion light years from Earth.

The stamp is from 2010 French Art series honoring William Turner with his work "The beach in Calais at low tide". Joseph Mallord William Turner (23 April 1775 – 19 December 1851) was an English Romantic landscape painter, watercolourist and printmaker. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting. He is commonly known as "the painter of light" and his work regarded as a Romantic preface to impressionism.

Observations of the underside of ice have a wide variety of applications. Severe under-ice roughness can affect ice movements, rough under-ice surfaces can scour the bottom disturbing biota and man-made structures such as pipelines, and the flow rate of rivers is often affected by under-ice roughness. A few reported observations of the underside of an ice cover have been made, usually by cutting a large block of ice and overturning it, by extensive boring, or by remote sensing. Such operations are extremely labor-intensive and, in some cases, prone to inaccuracies. Remotely operated vehicles (ROV) can partially solve these problems. In this note, we describe the use, performance in a hostile environment, and results of a study in which a ROV was deployed under the ice in Lake Erie (North American Great Lakes).

A cataract is clouding of the lense inside of the eye. There are many types of cataracts, but the most common is the nuclear sclerotic cataract. It is when the entire lense goes from a gradual yellowing to an opaque cloudiness. Age, heredity and UV light exposure are all factors involved in cataract formation. Regardless of what type of cataract it is, the treatment is the same; removal of the cloudy lense and replacing it with a new lense. Surgery is an outpatient procedure usually taking about eight (8) minutes.

Groin pain refers to discomfort in the area where the abdomen ends and the legs begin. This article focuses on groin pain in men. The terms "groin" and "testicle" are sometimes used interchangeably. But what causes pain in one area does not always cause pain in the other. This EM Should be displayed at the top of the article section "Causes" Common causes of groin pain include: Pulled muscle, tendon, or ligaments in the leg: This problem often occurs in people who play sports such as hockey, soccer, and football. This condition is sometimes called "sports hernia" although the name is misleading since it is not an actual hernia. It may also involve pain in the testicles. Hernia: This problem occurs when there is a weak spot in the wall of the abdominal muscle that allows internal organs to press through.

Comet McNaught is now barely visible from the Northern Hemisphere, but the show is just beginning for observers at mid-southern latitudes. Although the comet is fading, it's also climbing rapidly out of the evening twilight, and so far the views have been getting better every night. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, Comet McNaught is currently hard to miss if you face southwest shortly after sunset. But if the comet becomes any fainter, you can use the chart at right to locate it. Things aren't completely hopeless for northerners, either. The comet's tail is so huge that it's far end was spotted from pristine dark sites in the Northern Hemisphere days after the head disappeared. See the January 18th and 19th pages of spaceweather.com for details.


Catholic social teaching is built upon the conviction that every human person bears the image of God. This conviction has social, cultural, economic, and political implications; it demands that we treat all members of our society as fully human persons. Every human person has the right to be provided with the necessary resources to live with dignity, in unity and equality with all people. Responding then to addictions with treatment enables a person to live fully as a member of God’s family. Incarceration not only inhibits rehabilitation but further damages the individuals and their families.


For those of you who weren't aware, today is Groundhog Day. Bright and early this morning, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, meaning six more weeks of winter. According to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, Phil is correct "100%" of the time. As long as Phil sees his shadow, he's bound to be correct 100% of the time, because today marks six weeks until the spring equinox, the first day of spring. Groundhog day is a cross-quarter day, a day located halfway between an equinox and a solstice. Each season is 13 weeks long, meaning the Groundhog Day cross-quarter day occurs six-and-a-half weeks after the Winter Solstice (first day of winter) and six-and-a-half weeks before the Spring Equinox. Enjoy your six remaining weeks of winter!


I was thinking about the grammatical usage of the words run and ran on my run today. I think this is an often confused word; even I get the words confused sometimes and I’m a runner. Run can be used in past and present tense. Ran is used in past tense only. Understanding when to use run or ran is easier when you see it in a sentence. Run example sentences: “I run to stay in shape.” “I went on a run over my lunch break.” “I have run four marathons in my life.” Ran example sentences: “I ran a 5k on Saturday.” “You ran so fast at the track meet!”


GROWTH & SHAPING TRADITIONS Student enrollment grows steadily in the 1920s, topping 1,000 in 1923 and reaching 1,300 in 1926. To ease overcrowding, the Trustees fund the Chemistry Building and the Field House, and President Lovett limits the freshman class size. Lovett retains his outstanding initial faculty and recruits new members to accomodate the growing student body and expanded academic program. Rice professors make important contributions to Houston's cultural and civic institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Houston Symphony, the City Planning Commission and the municipal Social Service Bureau. Students adopt "Rice's Honor" as the school song and initiate May Fête, the Archi-Arts Ball, the Engineering Show and the Rally Club during the 1920s. President Lovett's intellectual ambitions for Rice receive a boost with the installation of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter in 1929.


The spleen and lymph nodes are both parts of the lymphatic system. This system protects the human body against infections and helps balance the amount of fluid in the body. One of the spleen's most important jobs is removing foreign bodies from the circulatory system. The spleen also contains macrophages, which remove dead tissue, foreign matter and bacteria from the blood. Lymph nodes act as filters. They remove viruses, bacteria and other harmful organisms from the body and are found in the armpit, neck, groin, chest and other parts of the body.Learn more about Organs


Over a decade ago, Stanford roboticists started experimenting with ways of using arrays of very small spines to help climbing robots grip rough surfaces. These microspine grippers have been used on all kinds of research robots since then, and recently, NASA has decided that microspines are the best way for spacecraft to grab onto asteroids. Yesterday at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in South Korea, Shiquan Wang from Stanford presented a new microspine-based palm design for rock-climbing robots. These palms use microspines that can support four times the weight of previous designs, which will be enough to turn JPL’s RoboSimian DRC robot into a champion rock climber. And we’re not talking just scrambling up slopes: It’ll be able to scale vertical rock faces, and even clamber around overhangs.


Long long ago, Qin Dynasty had a boy; his name was Kong Rong. He had two elder brothers and a younger sister. They were friendly to each other. Their father and mother loved them, but they loved Kong Rong more. One day, father wanted to know how gentle Kong Rong was. Then he decided to give Kong Rong a test. He told mother to go to the fruit shop and buy some pears. Then he picked up three bigger pears and a smaller one. He told Kong Rong to distribute these pears. Kong Rong thought a short time and gave the bigger pears to his brothers and sister. His father asked him, "Why did you give the bigger pears to your brothers and sister?" Kong Rong said, "My brothers are older than me, so they could eat bigger pears. My sister is younger than me; I must care for her." When father heard this, he smiled. This story teaches us: we ought to modestly decline to everybody.


The endocrine system controls many of your body’s functions through chemical substances called hormones. It creates sweat, saliva, mucus and digestive juices. The endocrine gland, otherwise known as the ductless gland, pour hormones into the blood stream. That is how the hormones reach the different locations of the body. Since the endocrine system produces sweat, it regulates the body’s temperature. The endocrine system is important for life because it controls development and growth during our childhood. Further, it helps the regulation of body functions in adulthood and during the reproductive process. -Kayla, Tasha, Mike, and Anthony


An Englewood, Colorado, student named Payton built a volcano as a school project. It was made of chocolate candy pinned to a foam base. Her dog Reggie couldn't resist, and ate the whole thing. Reggie was taken to a veterinary hospital, where x-rays showed 50 pins in the dog's gut! Many were retrieved endoscopically, but Reggie underwent surgery to remove the last few pins. Reggie has since recovered completely. Payton showed her teacher the x-ray to explain why her assignment wasn't done on time. The science assignment has been redone and handed in for credit. “I completely redid the project with glue the second time.” Reggie and Payton received high praise for their first scientific endeavor. “I got an ‘A.’ “ We hope you like this article!

Sodium nitride is an ionic compound that is very unstable and easily breaks up to form sodium atoms and nitrogen gas at around 360 K. The atomic number of sodium is 11. To achieve a stable electronic configuration it loses one electron to form a positively charged ion `Na^+` . The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. It can accept 3 electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration. This leads to the formation of a negatively charged ion `N^(3-)` . One ion of `N^(3-)` and 3 ions of `Na^+` together form the ionic compound `Na_3N` .


VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The total area affected by wildfires in BC has been on an upward trend for years. While the numbers of hectares burned by wildfires goes up and down by the season, the 10-year average has been rising since 1991 according to government stats UBC professor Simon Donner says as the climate continues to warm, this will have a direct impact on wildfire seasons in the coming years. “You can’t look at an individual fire and for certain say climate change alone caused that fire, but we do expect the sort of thing we are seeing this summer which is more fires covering a larger area.” “Certainly as the planet is warming we expect to see forest fires become more frequent, more widespread and larger in the west,” he warns. Donner adds our summers will continue to get drier on average, with more water falling as rain rather than snow during the winter.
