Did you know that the typical refinery circulates 80,000 cubic meters of water per hour through a cooling tower system? Evaporative cooling towers are tall, open-topped structures, and they are designed to condense steam and cool water. There are several important benefits of using cooling towers, as they are an effective way to extract waste heat from buildings. - Use in various settings. Cooling tower systems can be used in a variety of industrial settings. Power plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing plants, food processing plants, and petrochemical plants, for example, can all benefit fro


Aim: The historians of 2017 will be able to create a map showing four or more different crusades. Task 1 Quick Question: When is it right to use a military to take over another country or area of land? We will use this video to help introduce us to the Crusades. Here is a playlist of videos all on the Crusades if you want to learn more (headphones require). Task 3: Open the Crusades reading. We will do a popcorn reading activity that will help us understand the Crusades. Task 4: Make a copy of this document. Create a map showing the routs of four or more crusades. When you finish creating the map, complete this work reflection. Here are a few maps you can use as examples.


Here is part of the conversation between a group of children as they discuss a tall tree nearby: "I wonder how tall it is?" says Linus. "I think we could find out ," replies Raj. "It could be difficult as it's very high," says Toby. I wonder how they each went about finding out the height of the tree? I wonder how YOU would find out how tall a large tree in your surroundings is?


New Advances In Concussion Management By Accident Not all medical breakthroughs are discovered on purpose. Just ask Stanford intern Theo Roth, who discovered how a concussion affects the brain in real time by messing up brain surgery on mice. In 2010 Roth was supposed to be removing a portion of the skull in mice, to see how the brain reacts to meningitis, but repeatedly kept giving the mice concussions instead. The intern was working with high powered microscopes and realized that they could observe in real time what happens when a concussion is sustained. With the ability to observe the initial reaction of the brain during a concussion the research found that if an antioxidant is applied immediately after the trauma the damage to the brain is significantly reduced. The full research article can be viewed in the Journal Nature.


This genre was developed by Serkan Yürekli. Colour some cells to create a single contiguous shape. The shape can't have any 2 by 2 coloured areas. The clues in the grid tell you how many consecutive cells around it have to be coloured. If there's more than one digit in a cell, the groups of cells have to be seperated by at least one empty cell. Cells with clues remain empty.


Research being done on the supercomputer Kraken holds promise for overcoming limitations in the study of energy and materials applications. The method employs quantum mechanics to understand how nuclear effects change the dynamics of microscopic-size materials. The research team performed modeling and simulation studies in which a graphene, or carbon, flake was bombarded by a thousand hydrogen atoms to examine the likelihood of accumulation of the hydrogen on the porous graphene surface. The accumulation of hydrogen or other light molecules on nanoporous materials has implications for energy science applications such as hydrogen storage and fuel cells. The findings are published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation. To read more about the research, visit the National Institute for Computational Sciences website.


In Chapter 6 we discussed quantum mechanics and how electrons arrange themselves in atoms. In addition to explaining the electronic properties of the atom, quantum mechanics can also explain the arrangement of elements in the periodic Table. 7.1 Development of the Periodic Table The periodic table is broken down into two main groups. Group “A” or the main group elements, and Group “B” or the transition metals 7.1 Main Group Elements and Transition Metals Periodic Trends allow chemists to generalize properties of atoms and they will be a big help in explaining the concepts of chemical bonding in the next chapter. The first trends we will investigate are atomic and ionic radii.

A tranquil pool containing fish and plants is projected onto the floor. When the participants discover the pool, they see mostly fish but few plants, because the fish are the plants' predator. When the participants enter, the fish, mysteriously attracted to the participants, playfully swarm around their feet. Because the fish are distracted from eating, the plants are then able to bloom. Most people imagine that ecosystem disruption means the destruction of a specie(s). However, as this project illustrates, a counter-intuitive effect of ecosystem disruption is often that one species is suddenly increased population due to a predator displacement.

Wednesday, February 9, 2011 We have been talking about the wonderful world of homophones! Homophones are words that sound alike, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. We read two books together, How Much Can a Bare Bear Bear and Dear Deer. These two books were incredible! Then, we came together and generated a list of all the homophone pairs we could think of. Here are some of the examples: aunt-ant, flew-flu, bee-be, bear-bare, horse-hoarse, tale-tail, see-sea, and choose-chews. The students then demonstrated their understanding through showing me a pair in illustration and words. They came up with some of the cutest examples!

Eating too many sweets cannot be placed in the same league as smoking or excessive drinking but its not a million miles away. This is because the majority of sweets are made exclusively from refined sugar which has absolutely zero nutritional value. You may as well be eating cardboard. But a much greater problem of refined sugar, is that it builds up in the blood (as glucose) to such an extent that much of it is eventually stored by the body - it cannot do anything else with it! This stored glucose then transforms itself into fat and that extra fat obviously causes weight gain. The refined sugar in sweets also plays havoc with you're energy levels (giving you a quick boost followed by a huge slump) which can lead to everything from headaches and excessive perspiration to more series disorders such as Type II diabetes. Can a gastric balloon be the answer to obesity?


This student behavior system is perfect for kindergarten and first graders. There is two different take-home sheets for the student to self-reflect on his or her behavior. - One has just the smiley faces for Monday through Friday and a signature line for the parents for each day. - The other has the same, but a space for the student to write the reason for the color. There are two options to implement this behavior system. Option 1 is to use Unifix cubes, and withdraw a cube when a student makes bad decisions. Option 2 is to use a clip chart, which is included in the file. *The student always has the option to earn back cubes, or move up the clip chart. Included in this packet: - two different self-reflection sheets - clip chart


Sirens have been depicted as part-woman and part-fish. When they sense a ship or crew coming,sing a song so soothing that it makes the sailors do whatever the song says, which is usually wreck their ship on jagged rocks. It is unknown what the Sirens do with sailors they capture though most believe they're eaten. Their beauty and song are used to lure the weary sailors into a sense of security before showing their true form, and intentions. To avoid the "Siren's Song", you can plug your ears with cotton or other material, so you cannot hear anything. If the captain is brave enough, he will have his crewmates tie him to a mast, and he will endure the song until it is over(as Odysseus/Ulysses did).


In this Section: In this section, we will introduce a new type of equation known as the quadratic equation. A quadratic equation contains a squared variable and no other term with a higher degree. In order to solve a quadratic equation by factoring, we begin by placing the quadratic equation in standard form. This results in one side being set equal to zero. We then factor and set these factors (that include a variable) individually equal to zero. We solve each problem individually, check and report our answers. If the quadratic is not factorable, we will not be able to use this method. In many cases, we have to turn to the quadratic formula, which will be taught at the end of the course.


Garlic is one of the most flavorful things on the Earth, but it makes your breath smell like death itself died in your mouth. This video from Reactions explains what causes garlic breath and how to make it disappear. The main cause of garlic breath is a chemical called Allyl Methyl Sulfide, and isn't even present in garlic until it's chopped or crushed. The worst part? The chemical goes right into your bloodstream and is excreted when you sweat, breathe, and pee. To kill that gnarly mouth odor, Reactions suggests gnawing on some parsley or drinking some milk. If garlic isn't the problem, check out our guide on how to defeat bad breath once and for all.


Back to school Taking a class to explore a subject or learn a new skill may increase cognitive ability and slow mental aging. Image: Monkey Business Images/Thinkstock Active aging involves more than moving your body. You also need to move your brain. "When you exercise, you engage your muscles to help improve overall health," says Dr. Ipsit Vahia, director of geriatric outpatient services for Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital. "The same concept applies to the brain. You need to exercise it with new challenges to keep it healthy." A fun way to do this is to sharpen your No. 2 pencils and go back to school. "New brain cell growth can happen even late into adulthood," says Dr. Vahia. "The process of learning and acquiring new information and experiences, like through structured classes, can stimulate that process."


Definition of watt–hour : a unit of work or energy equivalent to the power of one watt operating for one hour First Known Use of watt–hour Seen and Heard What made you want to look up watt–hour? Please tell us where you read or heard it (including the quote, if possible).


Using biomass for energy also contributes to the health of our forests. When biomass is removed from growing forests, the remaining trees are helped to grow larger and remain healthy. As large and small landowners understand, active, sustainable forest management means harvesting trees. This contributes to the health of forests and their carbon-capturing abilities, today and into the future, and means that the income from these harvests gives landowners the ability to continue to own the land.

Saurophaganax maximus is a very large genus of allosaur from the Kimmeridgian of North America. Saurophaganax was the largest Jurassic theropod we know of, and at 12 meters in length, it was even longer and heavier than many other giant theropods. It was very similar to Allosaurus, but it was larger and had slightly different neck and tail vertebrae. It may in fact be a large species of Allosaurus. Saurophaganax was briefly seen confronting an Allosaurus for a dead Camptosaurus. The Allosaurus stood its ground but the opponent bit its head. The Allosaurus backed down whilst the Saurophaganax enjoyed its feast. |Planet Dinosaur Database and Mentioned Creatures|


March 5, 2013 by History in a Hurry Eric Holder: Drone strikes against Americans on U.S. soil are legal by Joel Gehrke Attorney General Eric Holder can imagine a scenario in which it would be constitutional to carry out a drone strike against an American on American soil, he wrote in a letter to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. “It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States,” Holder replied in a letter yesterday to Paul’s question about whether Obama “has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial.” And a clever YouTube video explaining what this news means for America:

In traditional Chinese culture, qi or chi is an active principle forming part of any living thing. Qi literally translates as "breath", "air", or "gas", and figuratively as "material energy", "life force", or "energy flow". Qi is the central underlying principle in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts. A lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer is aware of dreaming. During lucid dreaming, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over the dream characters, narrative, and environment.


To know the position of a motor shaft, consider the following 3D printer. When does it *know* the bed reached it’s end? If we want to know in more detail the position of a motor shaft, consider a spinning disc and an infrared sensor. How many pulses will we read for a 360 degrees turn? Quadrature position encoders By adding another sensor, we can also measure the direction of the motor. Clockwise or Counter- clockwise. Higher position can also be achieved when using quadrature encoders: Absolute position encoders A researcher invented a simple but useful solution to noise in encoders.

Insects which are harmful to the economic crops are called pests, or else, they are just part of our mother nature. When I study plants, I do not ignore other creatures. Insects and plants are closely related and, naturally, we need to learn about them as well. We can see Red-base Jezebel throughout the year, especially during winter when there are the least natural enemies. Its larvae eat Dendrotrophe frutescens and Taxillus chinensis which are common evergreen. Many of the Papilionidae family love Rutaceae spp. as their host plants. It’s all because mandarin orange (Citrus spp.), pommelo (Citrus maxima), lemon (Citrus limon) are very popular among the orchard farmers. Also, large-flowered Uvaria is in Annonaceae family which is common in the wild. Thus, they are the favorite of the wildly grown papilionidae. *translated by Mary Chung


The story goes that an Arab named Khalid was tending his goats in the Kaffa region of southern Ethiopia , when he noticed his animals became livelier after eating a certain berry. He boiled the berries to make the first coffee. Certainly the first record of the drink is of beans exported from Ethiopia to Yemen where Sufis drank it to stay awake all night to pray on special occasions. By the late 15th century it had arrived in Mecca and Turkey from where it made its way to Venice in 1645. It was brought to England in 1650 by a Turk named Pasqua Rosee who opened the first coffee house in Lombard Street in the City of London . The Arabic qahwa became the Turkish kahve then the Italian caffé and then English coffee.


What Does a Normal EKG Reading Look Like? EKC or ECG stands for electrocardiogram. It is a recorded visual representation of the electrical impulses in the heart that make it beat. Physicians use EKGs to diagnose potential illness within the heart. This depends on observing deviations from the normal EKG reading, which is used as a baseline for diagnosis.


Babies born during water births are at risk of contracting Legionnaires' disease, a severe and potentially life-threatening form of pneumonia that infected two infants in Arizona last year. Both infants survived after receiving antibiotics. Infections among infants born in heated birthing pools are rare. So public health officials in Maricopa County were alarmed when they learned of two cases that had taken place just months apart. They identified "numerous gaps in infection prevention" during the water births, according to a report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the Arizona investigation. In the United States, there...


When you get emails from friends, family, or trusted services like your bank or social sites, you find that many include links back to their sites. What you may not know is that some nefarious hackers use email (a technique called phishing) that only appear to be valid emails to install viruses, steal your information, or send itself out to all your contacts. Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication As a general rule, go directly to the web site and check through your account, rather than click on anything in emails. Unless you’re savvy about links and how to check where they’re sending you to, it’s a good idea to simply avoid links in emails. Dot To Tech explains in this video-

Kali is regarded as one of the fiercest deities in Hinduism. The word Kali arises from the Sanskrit word “Kaal”, which means time. This is also why Goddess Kali is sometimes referred as the Goddess of Death. In actuality, though, Kali is the slayer of the ego in a person.A study of the Goddess reveals that she only killed evil demons, who caused much turbulence in the world. Kali is not in any way associated with Yama, the Hindu God of Death. Interestingly, Goddess Kali is also considered mother by her devotees – and is one of the few Goddesses who are celibate, who renounced the whole world. Goddess Kali is depicted placing one foot on Lord Shiva, who is pure formless awareness Sat-Chit-Ananda. Here, Kali represents “form” eternally supported by pure awareness.


Here are some of the literary conventions of Shakespearean theatre, portrayed in Othello. One convention of the times is the "tragic hero'. Another convention is Shakespeare's idea of man's relation to the world. In Othello, it is portrayed by Othello's destiny, bound by inordinate passions. A third convention of Shakespearean theatre is that of a drama of character, overcome by weakness of the soul, which Othello was. Good luck with your studies, best wishes from Julie.

In this focused review we present and discuss two basic questions related to the early development of episodic memory in children: (1) “What is an episode?”, and (2) “How do preverbal children recall a specific episode of a recurring event?” First, a brief introduction to episodic memory is outlined. We argue in favor of employing a definition of episodic memory allowing us to investigate the development of episodic memory by purely behavioral measures. Second, research related to each of the two questions are presented and discussed, at first separately, and subsequently together. We argue and attempt to demonstrate, that pursuing answers to both questions is of crucial importance – both conceptually and methodologically - if we are ever to understand the early development of episodic memory.

“I don’t make songs for free, I make them for freedom.”1 – Chance the Rapper In order to overcome hunger and fear, students from low-income households must ultimately achieve liberation from people and institutions that restrict their freedoms. This goal can only be achieved only through authentic participation within critical discourses related to education policy, curriculum, and learning goals – which influence equity as well as edtech access and use. In order to achieve such freedom, students must be empowered through esteem and self actualization. In support of these efforts, educators and technology developers can support students’ development of epistemic agency as well as the capacity for knowledge building that is relevant to their own lived experiences. 1. Chance the Rapper, 2016


The number of trophic levels in an ecosystem are limited and are not more than 3-4. Because the amount of energy flow decreases with successive trophic level, as only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next trophic level. So, rest of the energy is lost in the form of respiration and other vital activities to maintain life. If more trophic levels are present, the residual energy will be limited and will decrease to such an extent that it cannot further support any trophic level. So, the food chain is generally limited to 3-4 trophic levels only.


Kutaisi, located on both banks of the Rioni River, amidst the picturesque scenery of West Georgia, is filled with history and inspiration. Name of Kutaisi has its roots from the Georgian word "Kuat", which means "stony". The old town is actually located on the rocky surface. This is second largest city of Georgia. It used to be the capital of legendary Colchis Civilization, which was famous for its gold mining. Some time ago glorified Greek hero Jason took a treasury of Colchis - Golden Fleece. Before the freedom of Tbilisi (1122) from the Seljuk Turks Kutaisi was the residence of the Georgian kings. Kutaisi is also a famous historical and cultural center, which has not only important architectural values within Georgian history, but also the heritage of UNESCO. We recommend you to visit:


The switch works by regulating the activity of a handful of sleep-promoting nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain. The neurons fire when we’re tired and need sleep, and dampen down when we’re fully rested. Scientists identify the switch that says it’s time to sleep - 20 February 2014 The switch in the brain that sends us off to sleep has been identified by researchers at Oxford University’s Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour in a study in fruit flies.


Chinese media frequently report harrowing tales of babies being abandoned, a problem attributed to young mothers unaware they are pregnant, the birth of an unwanted girl in a society which puts greater value on boys or China's strict family planning rules. In one such case, a baby was found in a dumpster on the outskirts of Beijing. He didn't survive. In another, firemen in eastern China rescued an abandoned newborn boy from a sewage pipe. Chinese orphanages have seen a falling number of abandoned children since 2005, but officials estimate some 10,000 unwanted children are still received each year. An unknown number of abandoned babies are also adopted informally. (Reuters) Find more news related pictures in our photo galleries and follow us on Tumblr


Hola a todos! Here is a fun little flipbook that reviews the basic vocab for vegetables in Spanish. Print these in landscape format and on pretty bright paper to make it more fun! Ask the students to first cut along the dotted lines before folding or writing (the first time I did this with my Kindergarteners, they folded the paper and then cut through both sides of the flipbook haha). Then the students fold along the middle of the paper and write their name. Next, the students will write the spanish word inside the flip of each picture (potato=papa, cucumber=pepino, corn=maíz, onion=cebolla, broccoli=brócoli, carrot=zanahoria, lettuce=lechuga, peas=guisantes). They can color the pictures once it is completed and can be kept in their desks until the food unit is completed :) For an extension activity, students can write a sentence(s) (I do not like ____ = No me gusta _____).


Wolves are located throughout the United States, Asia and Canada. Although their regions extend throughout most of the world, wolves are considered to be endangered. Gray wolves are the most commonly found wolves. They reside mostly in the Northern Hemisphere. In earlier days, gray wolves were found throughout the world, but out of fear, humans hunted and killed many of them, slowly decreasing their population. Red wolves are the rarest breed of the species. It is estimated that maybe 100 still exist in the wild, as of 2015. Red wolves can be found in the southeastern area of the United States. Arctic wolves are accustomed to colder climates. Their thick coats allow them to live in areas such as Alaska and Antarctica.


For over 60 years, ethnic Karen and other ethnic farming communities in Eastern Burma have been under attack by the Burmese Army. This is because these jungle mountain lands are rich in gold, precious gems, hydro power and other sources of income. As a result, over 3,600 villages have been burned to the ground by the Burmese Army. Over 400,000 villagers have been displaced and over 800,000 forced laborers have been used for the profit of the Burmese government, military and business leaders. As a direct result of this aggression war orphans have been created. The Karen do not believe in offering these children up for adoption and so they take care of their own as they are able. Of all “the oppressed,” these are the most defenseless. Worldwide Impact Now works in collaboration with Karen civil society and health care leaders to modestly support these orphans’ needs based on donor support.


Description: The dorsal side is grey with large black oval spots, while the ventral side is white and partially mottled. The characteristic red for which these animals are so aptly named is only visible when the animal is in motion, normally being hidden in the hip, armpit, and groin areas. Range: Eastern Africa from Kenya to South Africa. Habitat: Grassland, scrubland, or forest. These animals prefer to live in close proximity to a permanent body of water. Fun Fact: The red colors of the Red Legged Walking Frog are normally hidden while the animal is sitting still. However, once the animal starts to move those bright red colors become visible, especially around the armpits and hip. This serves as a potential distraction to predators, which may become startled and confused by the sudden display of bright colors, hopefully giving the frog ample time to escape.


BOSTON – Sea turtle strandings in Massachusetts' Cape Cod Bay are so common that the phenomenon has its own season. But the brisk rate at which the cold-stunned turtles are washing ashore this year has packed a local rescue hospital. As of Saturday, 221 turtles had been stranded this fall. That already exceeds the range of 50 to 200 that typically are stranded from October to December. The numbers have pushed the New England Aquarium's Animal Care Center over its turtle capacity a few times, and more than two dozen were flown to a Florida to relieve the crowding. The cold-blooded animals become immobile when the temperature drops too low. And the geography of the Cape, which hooks well into the ocean, acts as a natural turtle trap.


Here is a teaser of a common classroom rule in poster form. This resource can be used across primary and secondary schools to set up values and expected behaviours. It gives teachers an opportunity to have a ‘go to’ word which they can use to remind students of expectations. This is a simple tool to have in the classroom to redirect student focus and remind them of this community value.

| Fauna of Cyprus The arrival of animals in Cyprus has been a subject of interest to zoologists, since it has always been an island. According to existing evidence, the first arrivals were hippopotami and elephants, both excellent swimmers. They arrived 1.5 million years ago and apart from some shrews and mice, were the only land mammals roaming the island prior to Man's arrival 9,000 years ago. The present-day fauna of Cyprus includes some 7 species of land mammals, 26 species of amphibians and reptiles, 357 species of birds, a great variety of insects and mites, while the coastal waters of the island give shelter to 197 fish species and various species of crabs, sponges and echinoderma. The largest wild animal that still lives on the island is the Cyprus moufflon (Ovis orientalis ophion), a rare type of wild sheep that can only be found in Cyprus.


Like a busy city, a cell works better if it can dispose of and recycle its garbage. Now a Japanese scientist has won the Nobel Prize in medicine for showing how that happens. The research may pay off in treatments for diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s and Type 2 diabetes. Yoshinori Ohsumi, 71, of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, was cited Monday for “brilliant experiments” that illuminated autophagy, in which cells gobble up damaged or worn-out pieces of themselves. Autophagy means “self-eating.”


School starting age Is it better for children to start school young at four years and six months or to wait until the compulsory six years of age? Research by Dr Ben Edwards at the Australian Institute of Family Studies suggests that late starters have an edge in verbal development and problem solving but, surprisingly, there's no difference in social and emotional development between early and late starters. - Dr Ben Edwards - Research Fellow Australian Institute of Family Studies - Richard Aedy - Amanda Armstrong - Lindy Raine


Use this booklet to review needs vs. wants. In this booklet, students will identify the definition of a needs vs. a want, give two examples of each, and find some within your own classroom!

Biology and Ecosystems Whether it is extreme landscapes at remote reaches of the planet, the microbial habitat of the human body, or the forests of the Rocky Mountains in our own backyard, understanding the living planet is imperative to understanding the entire earth system. From micro to macro, biological and ecosystems science at CIRES explores all parts of the environment. Researchers explore biological systems using a combination of field techniques, laboratory investigations, and remote sensing to understand all types of different habitats, at cellular to ecosystem scales. Linkages among ecosystems, health, sustainability, and resilience drive many of the research questions that CIRES’ biological scientists explore.


posted by Tammy . Does increasing the frequency of a wave also increase its wavelength? If not, how are these quantities related? high frequency. low wavelength That answer may be confusing. A high frequency has a short wavelength; i.e., 14 MHz is about 40 meters. 28 MHz is abouat 10 meters. 50 mHz is about 6 meters. So as the frequency goes up, the wavelength goes down.


Qur’an emphasizes on the role of the human hearts in mental, emotional and spiritual decisions of man.Of these Qur'anic statements, some describe this sentient organ as having the capacity of being a center of reasoning, intentions and decision-making. Consequently, human hearts can either be healthy or diseased. A man insulted Khalid ibn Walid, so he turned to him and said, “It is your scroll of deeds, so fill it with whatever you wish.” How would you like to read your book in front of all of mankind? How can you beautify your book by filtering it from non-beneficial things? This article is aimed at providing answers to all this and more, in sha Allah

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technology that uses radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, joints, tumors, areas of infection, and more. These very high quality pictures can show the difference between normal and diseased soft tissues of the body, making it especially useful for a wide range of different types of imaging, including neurological and musculoskeletal. If necessary, a contrast agent may be used to help your doctor to see the MRI image more clearly. The MRI machine can also be used to produce 3-D images that may be viewed from many different angles.

1902 – Flatiron Building, New York The Flatiron Building, or Fuller Building as it was originally called, is considered to be one of the first skyscrapers ever built. The neighborhood around the building is called the Flatiron District after its signature building, which has become an icon of New York. It was designed by Chicago’s Daniel Burnham as a vertical Renaissance palazzo with Beaux-Arts styling – the Flatiron Building epitomizes the Chicago school – its facade of limestone at the bottom changing to glazed terra-cotta is divided into a base, shaft and capital. Early sketches by Daniel Burnham show a design with an unexecuted clockface and a far more elaborate crown than in the actual building. At the vertex, the triangular tower is only 6.5 feet wide; viewed from above, this “˜pointy’ end of the structure describes an acute angle of about 25 degrees.


Interior design course Home furnishing is the art of making an environment more comfortable through furniture, light and the organisation of space. The history of home furnishings is associated with the entire history of human beings. It is humans who create the environment and provide meaning and functionality to spaces, on the basis of their own needs. Space and its designs, objects and furniture tell us about us and about our history: they belong directly to our cultural, spiritual and social heritage. - Historical introduction to design and its evolution - Techniques of graphic representation - Characteristics and properties of materials - Geometric design and graphical representation lessons. - Design analysis elements - Final paper: choice of a subject: creation and graphic and technical representation.


The Civil Rights Act 1964 On May 2, 1963, many Americans watched in horror as live news televised images of white officials attacking hundreds of African American marchers with dogs, nightsticks, and fire hoses. After seeing the violent tactics used against mostly peaceful demonstrators, the public demanded action. That summer, almost a quarter of a million people marched on Washington in support of civil rights. President Kennedy decided to risk political fallout by pursuing a civil rights bill. He was assassinated in November. President Lyndon B. Johnson announced his determination to pass the bill in honor of the fallen President. Less than one year later, he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law.


Learning English can be fun and also done in your home. The web is filled with "English as a Second Language" (ESL) educational sites. Many of these sites help students to learn through activities, games, songs, quizzes, puzzles and other similar types of learning tools. Variety and fun can really help to keep both a student's interest and attention. Although many websites may be geared more toward adults or children, they are often able to be used by both depending on the learning level of the student (beginner, intermediate or advanced). Thanks to the internet everything you desire to learn about ESL can be done right from the comfort of your own home.


More on global warming From CNN today: WASHINGTON (AP) -- Melting of glaciers in the Patagonian ice fields of southern Argentina and Chile has doubled in recent years, caused by higher temperatures, lower snowfall and a more rapid breaking of icebergs, a study suggests. . . . . The researchers concluded that the Patagonia ice is melting faster now due to warmer air temperatures, a decrease in precipitation and a more rapid breaking of pieces of icebergs into the ocean, known as calving. The study was conducted by Eric Rignot of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California; Andres Rivera of the University of Chile in Santiago, and Gino Casassa of the Center of Scientific Studies in Valdivia, Chile.

“Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food is lost or wasted by consumers and retailers around the world. This is more than the net total food production of Sub-Saharan Africa, and enough to feed the estimated 900 million people hungry in the world, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization. In the U.S. alone, about 40 percent of all edible food goes to waste, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, a figure made all the more ominous when considering the 50 million Americans currently classified as food insecure. It’s safe say that the world has a food waste problem. Luckily, many groups, individuals and movements are stepping up with both large and small-scale efforts to fight food waste worldwide.”


Originally posted on Brain Pickings. At Christmas time in 1944, more than a decade after the resounding success of Brave New World Aldous Huxley (July, 26 1894–November 22, 1963) penned his one and only children’s book, The Crows of Pearblossom (public library) — the story of Mr. and Mrs. Crow, whose eggs never hatch because the Rattlesnake living at the base of their tree keeps eating them. After the 297th eaten egg, the hopeful parents set out to kill the snake and enlist the help of their friend, Mr. Owl, who bakes mud into two stone eggs and paints them to resemble the Crows’ eggs. Upon eating them, the Rattlesnake is in so much pain that he beings to thrash about, tying himself in knots around the branches. Mrs. Crow goes merrily on to hatch “four families of 17 children each,” using the snake “as a clothesline on which… View original post 61 more words


One of the principles behind St. Ann Elementary School’s success is letting students take the lead. When framing the school’s strategy, Principal Theresa Tillinger is careful to articulate what the school avoids doing. They do not over-structure, over-guide, or over-prescribe. In fact, Tillinger describes the teacher’s role as providing a vision and a nudge but then remembering to “get out of the way” so that students can take responsibility. St. Ann School shows that when students feel ownership over what they’re learning and doing in school, they learn passionately. Give them an opportunity to apply their talents in the real world, and they’ll still light up when they describe it months later. Encourage and reward empathy – for fellow students as well as for people halfway around the world – and empathy will thrive.

1. What observations can we make about Beowulf? For instance, you may want to note what makes Beowulf a heroic figure. 2. Would this character seem heroic in the other cultures we've studied? Why or why not? 3. What about the apparent abundance of boasting? 4. Do we read this differently as modern people than would the contemporaries of the original story? This solution responds to the questions and discusses aspects of the character Beowulf.


Next, the students thought about animals in the sky, versus those on land, versus those that are subterranean. And they placed these animals on a make-shift stage. Here are the animals that live on land. To see all the animals that we talked about, and made about, we visited the zoo! Here are some caged animals! When we came back, we knew exactly what to do... We also made worms, snakes, a fox for the underground animals. We also made a presentation board to show and explain about our choice of animal(s) to our parents. Here we have the final product--a tree that captured the students' senses about animals around us. Check out the beautiful details:


Paradise Apple/Paradisæble /Malus species Paradise Apple is a lovely little tree with bunches of beautiful flowers in the spring and lots of miniature apples in yellow or red colours in the autumn. They are hardy trees and are found in many sorts, some of them grow in gardens and parks, other in fences or feral in forest and thicket. Most of the sorts origin from East Asia. There is place for a paradise apple tree even in the smallest garden. The fruits are still on the trees a long time after leaf fall, and they are very much sought after by birds. De biggest fruits are fine in jelly and gelé. They can also give an extra special taste to a snaps - whole preserved paradise apples are an excellent and pretty accompaniment for many desserts - and raw paradise apples cooked in pies, cakes or fermented into cider - the taste can be sweet and pleasant. photo: grethe bachmann

Why do developing nations are now faced with modern chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart diseases and cancer? As these nations develop economically, the middele class is expanding. The now have bigger spending power. As societies develop, people’s diets change. They tend to take more high-fat and high-sugar foods, often in Western-style fast food restaurants (Pasquet 2010). Urban life also tends to be more sedentery. Many people stay in the air-conditioned offices for too long. They hardly do any exercise. Note: Many families are suffering financially and mentally because one or more members are not in good health. (Pasquet, Y. 2010. ‘Western’ diseases spreading.

How is the SRLI calculated? In a nutshell, the SRLI uses weight scores based on the Red List status of each of the sample species. These scores range from 0 (Least Concern) to Extinct/Extinct in the Wild (5). Summing these scores across all species and relating them to the worst-case scenario - where all species are extinct - gives us an indication of how biodiversity is doing. Repeating the assessments over time will then allow us to see whether the extinction risk of biodiversity is overall increasing, decreasing or staying the same.


Blue sapphires range from very light to very dark greenish or violetish blue, as well as various shades of pure blue. Sapphire, the September birthstone, has been popular since the Middle Ages. According to folklore, this precious stone will protect your loved ones from envy and harm. Medieval clergy wore sapphires to symbolize heaven, while commoners thought the gem attracted heavenly blessings. The most prized colors are a medium to medium dark blue or slightly violetish blue. Sapphire is a variety of the gem species corundum and occurs in all colors of the rainbow. Pink, purple, green, orange, or yellow corundum are known by their color (pink sapphire, green sapphire). Little known fact: Ruby is the red variety of corundum!

>> Civil Engineering A canal is constructed parallel to a river 600 m away both fully penetrating an unconfined aquifer of coarse sand and fine gravel as shown in the illustration below. The aquifer is subject to an average infiltration of 2.3 m/year. The water surface elevation in the river is 10 m. The Acme Chemical Co. is concerned about its discharges possibly contaminating the river, and has hired you to design the canal to prevent river contamination. Assuming the contamination is likely within 350 m of the canal, (a) determine the maximum water surface elevation in the canal to that will prevent river contamination, (b) determine the daily discharge of groundwater into the canal and into the river per kilometer of both; and (c) estimate the travel times from the water divide to the canal and to the river.

Sukreeswarar Temple is another important temple that is located in Tirupur. It is located on the banks of the River Nallar, a tributary of the River Noyyal, which runs through Tirupur. It was built sometime in the 10th century A.D by the kings of the Pandya Dynasty. Even so, several structures present within the temple complex have been constructed later by the kings of the Chola Dynasty. The temple is an excellent example of Tamil temple architecture. The temple complex has two towers called Vimanam, one dedicated to the worship of Amman and the other to the worship of Lord Shiva. A total of five Shiva Lingas are present in this temple. Even though the actual temple was constructed in the 10th century, inscriptions found at the site have revealed that the spot was used by the tribal people of the area as early as in 5th century A.D for the worship of Shiva.


TKAM Literary Analysis For the past few weeks in English class we have been working on a literary analysis paper for To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. My main focus was allusions, they are used frequently through out the story. Without allusions one would not be able to make connections as well because allusions make references. There are multiple types of allusions, I used historical, literary and biblical. These are the main ones in this novel and help describe events such as Miss Maudie's face when she is talking about grass. She gets upset because one thing of bad grass can ruin a whole town's. The plague is used to help describe her expression. This would be a biblical allusion because it refers back to it. There are many other allusions present in this novel, Harper Lee used them well.

The education models adopted across Africa today have been built on top of an old process that was designed to produce workers. However, in the world that we live in today, we are expected to synthesize new tasks. We are expected to create, not just produce. This is only possible when we have trained ourselves to think. There is a huge opportunity to improve the educational systems in Africa to refocus young adults to thinking and learning skills instead of just the learning of skills. The ability to just learn new tasks isn’t enough. This is why the Lapid Leaders Experience is tailored to grow the thinking capabilities of the youth we work with. Check out this video by one of the Lapid Leaders who talks about how she learned to thinking and how this has benefited her. “What happens when school is real life, and not just preparation for real life”.

Once we have all that we plug in the rest intro our matrix. Be wary of numbers being correct and multiplied correctly. Things to pay close attention to the numbers being multiplied. It's also highly advised to pay close attentions to make sure the numbers are inputted correctly. Make sure to plug in the numbers into your calculator correctly for the rref. Things to be wary of in the video is the placement of your numbers and make sure you're always looking at the correct rows. More things to be wary of is making sure you distribute the negative correctly. Another thing to pay close attention is to plug in the numbers correctly into the calculator.


Crisis Intervention Services officials were busy spreading a message during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Charisa Wotherspoon tells KNIA/KRLS News that they spent much of April promoting the “Shatter the Silence, Prevent the Violence” motto. Wotherspoon explains that it’s important for people to realize that sexual assault can and does happen anywhere – from large urban areas to small communities. She says we need to examine the issues that lead to sexual assault and deal with them, rather than try to ignore them. On the prevention side, she says it starts with education. Wotherspoon explains that they talked with high school students who thought that sexual assault may not be against the law if the couple involved in married. She hopes that through proper education, sexual assault cases will decrease over time.


This game is great for helping students master their forward number word sequence (FNWS), backward number word sequence (BNWS), and numeral identification skills (NID) in the range of 0-100, with the primary focus on crossing decades. This game can easily be printed on cardstock (11x17) and laminated for multi-student use (in small groups or work stations)! Students choose one sequencing card and figure out the missing number. They then cover-up the missing number on the game board. Continue this process until all of the sequencing cards have been used. Once all of the missing numbers have been identified, clear the board and play again! Sequencing cards have been provided for individual skill sets (FNWS or BNWS) along with a combination of the skills (FNWS and BNWS). Two different games boards are included (9s and 10s).

The Science Life To catch the faint signal of a spacecraft leaving the solar system, you have to listen very carefully. At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., that’s Suzanne Dodd’s job. Dodd (below) is project manager for NASA’s twin Voyager probes, launched in 1977 to explore Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 did that and more, as the first probe to fly by Uranus, in 1986, and Neptune, in 1989. It’s now 15 billion kilometers from Earth and headed out of the solar system.


On the way home from school the other day, my son asked me why they got Memorial Day off school. I realized that we had spent previous Memorial Day having cookouts and relaxing, but that I never explained the meaning of Memorial Day to my kids. I explained to them that the day was to honor veterans who have served our country, but realized that I wanted to help them to understand the meaning a bit more. After looking online, I found this great article, “Teach Kids the Meaning of Memorial Day” that gives some very concrete ways to help your children understand the holiday. So this Memorial Day we are going to make a flag craft and write a letter to soldiers overseas. How do you help you kids understand the meaning of Memorial Day?

P. Lovecraft in June 1920. In the tale, an unnamed narrator relates the story of how a law forbidding the killing of cats came to be in a town called Ulthar. As the narrative goes, the city is home to an old couple who enjoy capturing and killing the townspeople's cats. When a caravan of wanderers passes through the city, the kitten of an orphan (Menes) traveling with the band disappears.


In 2013 the Washington Post reported the climate findings from the prestigious journal Nature producing this chart. Singapore is one of the cities expected to experience climate departure early (i.e., when the coldest year is warmer than the warmest year on record). Many cities will be there on average about 20 years later. This is because the impact will be noticed first among cities in the equatorial belt. We are already seeing our weather warming every year. The year 2028 is not a magical number. It is the result of sophisticated modeling calculations. That year of climate departure could be off by several years. Whatever, we know what to expect. It is not pretty. Besides the heat there will be more cases of Dengue, Zika and many unwelcome developments.


There are currently hundreds of shipwrecks at the bottom of Lake Michigan that anyone is free to explore and possibly discover. Treasure hunters from around the world continue to scour the lake for the remains of the infamous Westmoreland Treasure Ship. Unlike harsh salt water environments, Lake Michigan’s fresh water is perfect for preserving history. Spring’s cool water temperatures help keep visibility high, perfect for diver Rick Richter and his passion for nautical history. One of the most interesting shipwrecks is the Appomattox. The ship went down during a fateful storm in 1905 and is still visible just below the waterline just off Atwater Beach, close to the town of Shorewood. You can find out more about where all the shipwrecks of Lake Michigan are and which ones are still lost here. [one_third] [/one_third] [one_third] [/one_third] [one_third_last] [/one_third_last]


The Sites Teachers Choose: A Gauge of Classroom Web Use The pervasive nature of the Internet, both in society and in America’s schools, leads teacher educators to wonder how this dynamic tool is being utilized in the classroom and, especially, if it is benefiting students’ understanding. This study analyzed 127 Web sites self-reported by in-service teachers as excellent for teaching. From these data, a majority of K-12 educators view the Web either as a lesson planning tool or as a place to turn for additional information to teach a particular lesson. The majority of sites designed for use with students were passive in nature. This paper offers a qualitative data analysis of the attributes of the sites, as well as implications of the selected sites on K-12 teacher beliefs regarding student learning.

Piano is a great first instrument, teaching a child to use their eyes and ears and recognise patters. After learning piano for 2 years, children often start a second instrument with a flying start. For 4-8 year olds, group keyboard lessons are common. Some teachers find that technical progress is slower but motivation can be greater. Keyboard/Piano can be taught in a group environment to any age group, obviously with some limitations compared to individual tuition. Ensembles: Pianists are rarely required in instrumental ensembles. Pianists might play percussion in ensembles, or learn a second instrument (string, wind or brass).


Why is preventive dental care important? Preventive dental care usually includes professional dental cleanings, dental examinations, and x-rays. These procedures allow us to check your teeth on a regular basis to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy and free from any signs of decay or disease. They also give us the opportunity to screen you for serious conditions like oral cancer. Even with good brushing and flossing technique, it is difficult to remove all the plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially above the gumline. If this plaque is allowed to remain there, bacteria can grow and thrive and eventually lead to serious dental problems. Catching these problems before they start or nipping them in the bud will prevent infection, damage to your teeth, and eventually tooth loss.


Performance Comparison of DSDV and AODV Routing Protocols in MANETs This paper aims to compare performance of some routing protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc NETworks (MANETs). A Mobile Ad-Hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a temporary network without using any centralized access point, infrastructure, or centralized administration. Data transmission between two nodes in MANETs requires multiple hops as nodes transmission range is limited. Mobility of the different nodes makes the situation even more complicated. Multiple routing protocols especially for these conditions have been developed during the last years, to find optimized routes from a source to some destination.


The architect Renzo Piano and an energy company in Italy, they are proposing a relative small wind turbine, suitable for the average yard. They describe it as being based on the physics of dragonfly flight. |Images © Renzo Piano| “The new wind turbine which is sensitive to the low-altitude diffuse wind more common in Italy, has produced over 1,200 KWh in two months of testing at the Molinetto test field, in the Province of Pisa. The new slim-line, two-blade turbine is less visible than the traditional three-blade design, to the extent that it is difficult to detect in the landscape, but it has also shown itself to be capable of functioning also with low-intensity wind. This result has also been made possible by the research into new, ever lighter and more resistant materials and by the new technology solutions employed in the construction of the turbine.” Read more at the press release.


Difference between revisions of "Yaeyama phrasebook" Revision as of 16:43, 13 June 2005 There are significant dialectal differences between the islands and the following phrasebook is based on the dialect of Ishigaki, the largest and most populous island. See the separate Yonaguni phrasebook for the version spoken on Yonaguni. "j" is pronounced like a "y" in English. Some syllables begin with a "ng", and this may be difficult for some English speakers. The triangular colon indicates a long vowel. There is a very, very large dictionary you can get at some bookshops, it comes in two volumes, one Yaeyama->Japanese and the other Japanese->Yaeyama. It also includes a brief grammar.


Category: Earth Changes and Scalar biowarfare Members of the Jesuit Order were the first people to fully understand both seismology and the ionosphere. I strongly suggest you study their actions down at Manila Observatory since 1951. When you understand how the ionosphere can be manipulated to direct earthquakes then most of the climate and weather issues will soon become clear. Look into ionospheric heaters such as EISCAT and the connection to the Open Skies Treaty in conjunction with the Stratospheric Aerosol Geo-engineering program by the U.S. Air Force. Do some research on the USAF’s document called ‘Owning the weather in 2025’. Weather warfare has been taking place for decades utilizing space based weapons platforms and laser-based satellites in conjunction with the technologies mentioned earlier such as scalar interferometers.

An umbrella goes up when rain comes down. To solve this riddle, the person being questioned has to think about items that rise when rain is falling, aside from natural elements.Continue Reading This particular riddle can have other answers that are equally as "correct" as "umbrella." Other things that go up when rain comes down include car windows and water levels. Another riddle that involves rain is, "What do you find at the end of a rainbow?" which is answered with "The letter W." Or, "What falls down but never stands up?" with the answer being "rain," because it falls but does not stand up.Learn more about Rain


A common misconception is that computers understand code. This is not true. Computers only understand machine code, that is, code that is assembled for the architecture of the computer's processor. Some programs come in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and those using a 32-bit operating system cannot run 64-bit programs. Compilers turn the code that the programmer writes into machine code.


Children in Year 6 were the first to spend an hour of their day learning how to write computer code. Using the specially designed resources on Code.Org, they were able to write their own games in a matter of minutes using Java script. If you can spare an hour of your time this week, why not have a go yourself. You’ll be surprised how easy it is! Posted in: Computing


Planned efforts to relocate human populations often entail protracted struggles over the terms on which local populations may be compensated for the loss of land, assets and livelihoods. In many instances, compensation has been established on the basis of historical market value, which in effect excludes stakeholders (e.g., encroachers, landless laborers, sharecroppers, etc.) whose livelihoods are adversely affected by land acquisition. Establishing ways of recognizing and compensating the loss of informal land and livelihood is therefore a pressing policy priority. The act or process of making amends for something.


Call something seminal when it's so original, so groundbreaking and awesome that it will influence everything that comes after it. Picasso produced more than a few seminal works of art, for example. Technically, seminal means something related to semen or seeds. But these days people more often use the word to describe something that plants the seed for creative growth. An innovative piece of music or literature, a fresh new idea, or an invention that changes everything could each be called seminal. Synonyms include critical, fundamental, original, and primary.


Reykholt in Borgarfjördur The village is situated in the valley of the river Reykjadalsá, called Reykholtsdalur. Here lived in the Middle Ages one of the most important persons in Icelandic history: Snorri Sturluson. He was a famous poet and politician whose records of the Old Norse language and mythology of medieval Iceland are invaluable to modern scholars. He lived and died here. Remains of his farm and a bathroom with hot pot and a tunnel between the bath and the house can still be visited. Reykholt was at this time one of the intellectual centers of the island and had for many years one of the most important schools of the country. Today, the village has 60 inhabitants, a school centre and a library concentrating on the works of Snorri Sturluson. A statue of Snorri by Gustav Vigeland can be found here. Archeologists are still working here and finding medieval remains


Banding and recovery data from 3 populations of winter-banded canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) were analyzed and survival and recovery rates were estimated. Sex-specific differences in these rates were detected in some populations, and lower survival rates were exhibited by females. Some geographic variation in survival rates was evident, suggesting that canvasbacks should not be managed strictly on a continent-wide basis. Evidence of temporal variation in both survival and recovery rates was found. Lower recovery rates were noted during periods of restrictive hunting regulations, but the relationship between survival rates and hunting regulations was not clear-cut. Additional publication details Inferences regarding survival and recovery rates of winter-banded canvasbacks

|Religion||Christian- Congregationalist | |Founding Documents||Declaration of Independence| John Hancock was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, on January 12, 1737. After receiving his childhood education, Hancock was admitted to Harvard, where he graduated in 1754 and became a wealthy businessman in the shipping arena. He is most famous for his extremely large signature on the Declaration of Independence. He was the first member of the Continental Congress to give his signature and his name is sometimes synonymous with the word signature today. Some reports state his reason for doing so is that he wanted the King to see his signature without glasses on, however the factuality of this is debated. Later in life, he was the governor of Massachusetts. He died October 8, 1793 in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Why do people snore? Everybody snores. The snoring noise we make while sleeping comes from the vibration of our nasal passages as we breathe. The muscles in your nose and throat relax when you sleep and narrow your airways enough to make it easy to snore. Only some people have medical reasons for their snoring. The rest of us naturally make those embarrassing noises in our sleep.

Koalas are under threat of being wiped out in parts of Queensland and New South Wales, conservation group WWF Australia has warned. The group is calling on state governments to do more to protect the Australian icon, claiming land clearing was rapidly destroying the mammals' bush habitats. Dr Martin Taylor, protected areas and conservation science manager at WWF Australia, estimated that nearly 180 koalas died as a result of bushland bulldozing in south east Queensland alone between 2013 and 2015. "This is really the tip of the iceberg," he said. "Because we're looking at hundreds of koalas more that are actually admitted to wildlife hospitals," he said. "There's the immediate effect of destruction of their habitat by bulldozers, but there's also the legacy of that."

Friday, February 11, 2011 As we age, our risk of falling increases. Our feet may catch on a well-worn rug or we may miss a step going downstairs to the kitchen at night. We lose balance, strength and agility; medications may make us drowsy; or we may become dizzy after getting up from a chair as our blood pressure plummets. No one has done more to highlight the medical significance of this issue than Dr. Mary Tinetti of Yale University. The recipient of a 2009 MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, Tinetti has spent almost two decades exploring why seniors fall. Most recently, she co-chaired a committee of American and British experts that helped prepare new guidelines for preventing falls. Tinetti spoke at length about the guidelines, which were published in January in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. An edited version of our discussion follows.


Date: 00:59 UTC 03/10/1952 Type: Seasurface @-3m The first British nuclear test, Hurricane was detonated in a lagoon on Trimouille Island. The bomb was exploded inside the frigate HMS Plym which was anchored in 12 m of water. The device was a plutonium implosion bomb similar to the Fat Man using plutonium produced at Windscale (now Sellafield).The test was devised to investigate the effects of a ship-smuggled bomb. The ship was mostly vaporized by the explosion, except for pieces of hot metal that set fires to the spinifex scrub covering Trimouille. The explosion left a crater on the seabed 6m deep and 304m wide.The cloud rose only to 4572m due to the very dry air which allowed evaporation of water to cool the ascending cloud, and a strong inversion at that altitude.


Extinct Giant Stork May Have Eaten 'Hobbit' People While storks have generally been fictionalized as being the winged bearers of young baby humans, an extinct relative may have actually eaten them. Researchers recently discovered the fossilized remains of a giant marabou stork on the island of Flores, a place previously put on the map for the discovery of Homo floresiensis, a small hominin species closely related to modern humans. Not only did this bird tower over 6ft, but this meat eater may have also been capable of hunting and eating young “hobbits”. Scientists estimate that the giant stork existed some 50,000 years ago — sharing the island with a bizarre menagerie of dwarf elephants, giant komodo dragons, and even mega rats. You see, Middle Earth really did exist. [Read More]

Making Better Production Everybody's Business December 01, 2014 This publication relates to: Today, we use the natural resources of 1.5 planets, depleting ecological goods and services faster than nature can replenish them. This is having a huge impact on nature and people, and threatening our very future. Better production will be vital if 9 billion people are to share this planet and its resources, equitably and sustainably, in the coming decades. This report summarizes WWF's work on commodities with the biggest impact on areas of global conservation priority.


If the ball had landed outside the boundary without bouncing first, the batsman would have scored the maximum possible runs from a single shot - 6. If the fielder catches the ball, he's out. However, if the fielder catches the ball but then steps outside the boundary, the batsman scores 6 runs again. What you see here is the fielder attempt to catch the ball, but realise that he can't do that without stepping the boundary. His teammate has read the situation and is supporting him within the boundary. When the initial catcher pushes the ball to his teammate (while still in mid-air) the catch is made and the batsman is out.


Water fleas use specialized appendages to filter algae, bacteria and small organic particles. Cladocerans are common and abundant in large variety of still water habitats. They often live in temporary ponds and survive dry periods as very resistant and long-lasting eggs. Cladocerans use large branched antennae to push them through the water. Common name water flea comes from this jerky movement. Some species can grow up to sizes around 5 mm, although most cladocerans rarely exceed 3 mm. The life cycle of cladocerans is dominated by asexual reproduction, occasionally supplemented by sexual reproduction (resulting in dormant eggs). Hatched young are barely visible dots moving in the water. They undergo several molts to reach an adult capable of reproduction. Most of the adulthood, females produce brood of eggs every time they molt. Water fleas (Cladocera):


Manchu bows have a long and vivid history that developed first for hunting, then for warfare. The bow-making process includes over 200 steps and at least a month to create just one bow. Bows today are seen more as novelties rather than useful tools for survival or warfare. - Popular TopicsView All - Daily Life


Books about John F. Kennedy abound in both children's and adult literature. There aren't very many titles for the primary grades, which may be the biggest reason for buying this one. As adults, we know JFK did many great things, but he was hardly the godlike figure that this book hints at. While small children don't necessarily need to read about his womanizing, making political figures sound better than they were is more indoctrination than education. Winter's book may serve as an introduction into the events of JFK's life, but teachers might do well to add other information and explanation as is suitable. Children may have questions of their own while reading - such as, who ARE all these people in the pictures?


Rapid Research Videos Rapid Research is a growing set of techniques with roots in public education that is designed to help us “dive in” to the work, jumpstarting decisions about which topics mattered most to our group, teaching the youth research skills in context, and helping us visualize possible research products. each “Rapid Research” session involved teams of researchers selecting a theme from previous conversations and then either creating and administering a mini-survey or a video short on the topic – all within about 90 minutes. The resulting Rapid Research products were then used to facilitate discussion and analysis of the new themes coming up, in an iterative process. March 26, 2015


fasti(redirected from Dies fasti) Also found in: Dictionary. Related to Dies fasti: Dies nefasti fasti(făs`tī), in ancient Rome, dies fasti were days on which public business could be transacted without impiety. The word also came to be used for the calendars and almanacs that contained such information as holy days, festivals, and historical events. The first known fasti was published in 304 B.C. in ancient Rome, originally the name for the days of the month that were deemed favorable for the conduct of state affairs; later, a name for the Roman calendar. The term fasti also denoted annual lists, drawn up by the pontifices, of the names of important public figures, such as magistrates, priests, and victorious generals who had been given a triumph. Surviving fasti have been collected by T. Mommsen in his Corpus inscriptionumLatinorum (vol. 1, Berlin, 1963).

A game animal species must be declared protected for a specific period or until further notice if it is necessary for ensuring the survival or undisturbed reproduction of the game animal population. Provisions on the protected game animal species and the related closed seasons are issued by government decree. The permanent residents of the areas concerned may be granted derogations from general closed seasons. If the population of a game animal species becomes endangered in its range or in a part of its range, the hunting of the species concerned may be prohibited or restricted by a decree of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for a maximum of three years at a time. The decree specifies the area in which the prohibition or restriction is in force. Useful external website
