A new study indicates that waterways in coastal areas around the world are suffering. The study published last week in the Journal of Science says the number of "dead zones" has doubled every 10 years since the 1960s. Dead zones are areas where oxygen levels are depleted to the point where marine life can't survive. UNCW Marine Biology Professor Larry Cahoon says this is serious business. "Overall it says you have a poorly functioning or completely dysfunctional ecosystem. And everything that you depend on that ecosystem to provide you, whether it's recreation, aesthetics, or earning a living is compromised by that problem," said Cahoon. Cahoon says dead zones are caused by humans over polluting waterways. He says dead zones aren't a problem in the Cape Fear River or the ocean here, but similar problems are visible in our tidal creeks. - Video Central - About WWAY


One of the most useful graphs you can produce in R using the plot(...) function is one with nothing in it. Using the type="n" option, you get a blank canvas to which you can add points, lines, text, shaded regions and build up something that's really very useful. Other packages such as lattice and ggplot2 produce really nice graphics, but when it comes to annotating these graphs and tailoring them to your needs you have to delve into more complex options and programming (panel functions) and this has quite a steep learning curve. Keeping it simple with the plot(...) function and using lines(...), points(...), text(...), polygon(...) etc. allows you to build quite sophisticated graphs without too much hassle.


Human Rights Education Human rights education is an integral part of the right to education and is increasingly gaining recognition as a human right in itself. Knowledge of rights and freedoms is considered a fundamental tool to guarantee respect for the rights of all. UNESCO’s work in human rights education is guided by the World Programme for Human Rights Education. Education should encompass values such as peace, non-discrimination, equality, justice, non-violence, tolerance and respect for human dignity. Quality education based on a human rights approach means that rights are implemented throughout the whole education system and in all learning environments.


<variable> ::= <variableId> [ : <sort> ] <variableId> ::= <simpleId> x x:Int committee: Set[Person] The same <variableId> can be overloaded to name two different variables, that is, two variables with different sorts. It can also be used to name a variable and an operator, provided the operator is not a constant of the same sort. LP uses context to disambiguate overloaded identifiers. At times (e.g., when computing critical pairs or when proving an induction rule), LP creates variables, the identifiers for which consist of the first letter of the sort of the variable, followed by digits if necessary to avoid conflicts with constants and with other variables in the same term or formula.

Infection Control – Animal Owners - Owners of cats with suspected plague should be advised to consult their physician and local or state health department. - Animal owners should be advised on the following precautions: - Confine pets as much as possible. - Apply a flea control product to reduce the risk of transporting infected fleas into homes. - Cats and other mammalian pets should not share sleeping areas with family members. - All ill animals, especially cats, should be seen by a veterinarian. - In the event of an intentional plague release, it would also be advised that cats and animals stay indoors while environmental assessment is undertaken.


One of the best defenses against natural disasters and extreme weather events is advance preparation. Working together, we can build a disaster-resistant community and minimize the potential impacts of a catastrophic event. As recent events such as Superstorm Sandy, the Japanese tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina have shown, communities must be prepared to survive on their own for at least 72 hours after a disaster. City, state and federal officials will be on the scene as quickly as possible, but they will not be able to reach everyone immediately. Having enough water, food and supplies to get through those first days is critical. Additionally, basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment and telephones may be cut off for days, a week, or even longer.


So, let's say we have a spacecraft in deep space. It activates its rocket engines, to keep it simple. The engine reaction channels exhaust through the aft nozzle, right? How does that chemical reaction actually induce a change in the velocity of the spacecraft? The particles have to push against the geometry of the spacecraft to provide a force. Do they do that and how when their direction vector clearly goes away from the spacecraft? And here's something else. A pressurized spacecraft opens up an airlock which decompresses the entire deck, would that create a small thrust for the spacecraft and how? Is it the contact hull - air as it is accelerating outwards?


Freyja's necklace made by the fairies. Freyja left her husband Odin in order to obtain this necklace; and Odin deserted her because her love was changed into vanity. It is not possible to love Brisingamen and Odin too, for no one can serve two masters. As a moral tale this is excellent. If Freyja personifies “the beauty of the year,” then the necklace means the rich autumn tints and flowers, which (soon as Freyja puts on) her husband leaves her- that is, the fertility of the genial year is gone away, and winter is at hand.

a table is a construct that holds data. The data could be sensory information to be used as an input to a neural network , or it could be weight values , for example. Tables holding data can have a variety of formats. In Netlab's Noodle™ language, the primary format is called Netlab Values , or NLV , or Comma Separated Values, is another example of a common table format that can be used in Netlab. It is a convenient format for output data, since it can be read directly into most desktop spreadsheets programs, where it can be analyzed and graphed. will also (eventually) be supported. It is a more robust table format designed to carry everything from simple values to complex hierarchically organized information.

In this picture it shows how the white house is shaped like an old roman architecture. Romans used carvings, skylights, columms and white stones to create old banks, chruched ect. In this picture you can see the use of white stones and the columms that support the white house. With out the many feutures that the romans, and greeks used by creating many buildings then we wouldnt have many landmarks. For example if the romens and greeks didnt create the columms then how would the white house be built?

Breeder Reactor vs. Nuclear Fission Reactor Which is more efficient: a breeder reactor or a nuclear fission one? A breeder reactor IS a fission reactor. It is a much more efficient version of a fission reactor because it "breeds" new fuel while consuming the old fuel. This is possible because the fission reactions release lots of neutrons that can be used to transform certain non-useful isotopes into useful isotopes or elements - in particular Plutonium is generally a product of breeder reactors. However, plutonium is also rather hazardous and dangerous for reasons associated with proliferation of nuclear weapons, so breeder reactors have not been very popular in the U.S. They are widely used in other countries though (Japan and France I think).

Summary: From his teaching and writing experiences, David Myers has concluded that students digest material more easily when it is presented in smaller portions. Ask students whether they would prefer a 700-page book to be organized as 14 50-page chapters or as 55 14-page chapters and their answers will approach a consensus: students prefer shorter chapters. Acting on this belief, Myers created a modular iteration of his best-selling text, Psychology, which breaks down the 18 ...show more chapters of Psychology into 58 short modules.

In 1889, Nellie Bly bullied her newspaper into letting her race around the world. The goal was to beat Phileas Fogg from Around the World in 80 Days. After considerable argument (mainly about her being female and unaccompanied), she set sail and, by steamship and ingenuity, made it home in 72 days. It wasn’t the craziest stunt Bly pulled for a story. She started her career by having herself committed to an insane asylum for an exposé. Bly had more than early success. From 1914 – 1919, she was the only female journalist to cover WWI on the Eastern Front. Nellie Bly: Daredevil, Reporter, Feminist by Brooke Kroeger recounts the fabulous, nearly unbelievable exploits of a truly extraordinary human being.

Because a word's meaning has a way of haunting those who are ignorant of it. I recently came across the following: “When adjusting for population, City X’s homicide rate was three times higher than City Y’s.”That’s redundant, and it indicates that the writer does not know what rate means. Rate in this context adjusts for population by definition, 8 per 100,000 or whatever. The most useful of several definitions of rate is this, from Merriam-Webster: a : a quantity, amount, or degree of something measured per unit of something elseUse rate as if it meant simply quantity or number, and you may be taking part in the evolution of English. But for now, at least, you'll be using the word incorrectly — and driving me nuts. © Peter Rozovsky 2012


From: Illminster, Somerset, UK. Age: 170 million years old, Jurassic. Jurassic Harpoceras do not display characteristic ribbing, they do however have very elegant suture lines that form a feathered pattern round the whorls. This a zone fossil, that is a fossil that is used to define a certain geological time span. Ammonites, an extinct order of free swimming predatory cephalopods, make excellent zone fossils as they are geographically wide spread common in the fossil record and evolved quickly and so are only found for limited geological time scales. This fossil defines a subzone within the larger time frame of the Harpoceras falciferum zone of the Lower Jurassic.

Thatch and Compaction: 2 Problems You Can Fix Over time, little bits and pieces of grass die and gather just above the soil. This is called thatch. A little bit of thatch can be beneficial. It's organic material that is broken down by microbes in the soil. But sometimes, thatch builds up too fast for natural processes to break it down. It forms a barrier, keeping moisture and air from going where your grass needs it. ˝ an inch or more of thatch can weaken your lawn. You have 2 ways to remove it: dethatching and aerating.


World War II GI's photograph album, 1944 In 1979 the Smithsonian acquired this album, an American soldier's souvenir of his time in Europe during World War II. Since the Civil War, Americans' experience of war has been captured, brought home, and remembered through photographs. The Smithsonian has many war photographs in its collections, mostly the work of professional media or government photographers. Yet the museum has also collected amateur photographs taken by the soldiers themselves. These personal snapshots, pasted into scrapbooks or packed away with other battle souvenirs, reveal aspects of war not seen in official images.

POSTED: Tuesday, April 19, 2011 - 8:37am UPDATED: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - 11:07am For a long time, diet soda and other artificially-sweetened drinks have been blamed for raising the chance of developing diabetes. But a new study from Harvard University says, that's not true. Researchers followed a large group of men over a 20-year period, and found that while those who drank regular soda and other sugary drinks were more likely to develop diabetes, those who drank artificially-sweetened soft drinks, didn't. The study said that replacing sugary drinks with diet versions, seems to be a healthy alternative. The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.


Rouge River Watershed The City of Bloomfield Hills drains entirely to the Rouge River, so you live in the Rouge River Watershed. A watershed is an area of land that drains to a common body of water such as a river or lake. Watersheds come in all shapes and sizes and their boundaries can cross jurisdictions. No matter where you live, you live in a watershed. The Rouge River Watershed, located in Southeast Michigan, runs through the most densely populated and urbanized land area in the state. The watershed is approximately 438 square miles in size and includes all or part of 48 municipalities in three counties with a population of over 1.5 million. There are over 40 lakes, impoundments, and ponds in the watershed. More than 50% of the watershed is considered urbanized, mostly in the south and east portions. |Map of Rouge River Watershed|

Housing is a basic human need. Good housing standards and intact towns and cities are of crucial importance for the quality of life of individuals. In addition, they make a significant contribution to a good social climate in our society. The important task of ensuring that the housing markets are functional falls upon the state. In the federal system within the Federal Republic of Germany, the Federal Government, federal states and local authorities are responsible for housing policy. The Federal Government's tasks include structuring the general conditions for the housing market and assistance system plus participation in promotional instrument funding together with the federal states and local authorities.


January 18, 2012 Geology professor describes how precious metal (Au-Ag) deposits are related to past subduction and subsequent magmatic activity Matt Brueseke, assistant professor of geology, and colleague published "Volatility of Se and Te during subduction-related distillation and the geochemistry of epithermal ores of the western United States" in Economic Geology, an international scientific journal. They argued that elements that are commonly found in epithermal precious metal deposits (e.g. Au, Ag, Te, Se, Hg, As, Sb, and Tl) are linked through devolatilization during subduction, subsequent mantle melting, and magma degassing. The implications of this study explain the continent-scale distribution of Se and Te-rich epithermal deposits in North America and suggest that the underlying mantle in the western United States is still enriched in metals.


Io's Mountains at Sunset NASA's Galileo spacecraft captured this dramatic image of mountains on Jupiter's moon Io in February 2000. The image was taken when the sun was low in the sky, illuminating the scene from the left, so it reveals topographic details of Io's surface. A low slope, roughly 820 feet high, runs from the upper left toward the center of the image. Mongibello Mons, the jagged ridge at the left of the image, rises 23,000 feet above the plains of Io, higher than any mountain in North America. Scientists believe that the mountains are formed when blocks of Io's crust are uplifted along thrust faults. Angular mountains are thought to be younger, while older mountains have more subdued topography, such as the rise near the top center of this image.

ChristianAnswers.Net WebBible Encyclopedia The Book of Ruth This book was originally a part of the Book of Judges, but it now forms one of the twenty-four separate books of the Hebrew Bible. The history it contains refers to a period perhaps about one hundred and twenty-six years before the birth of David. It gives (1) an account of Naomi's going to Moab with her husband, Elimelech, and of her subsequent return to Bethlehem with her daughter-in-law; (2) the marriage of Boaz and Ruth; and (3) the birth of Obed, of whom David sprang. The author of this book was probably Samuel, according to Jewish tradition. “Brief as this book is, and simple as is its story, it is remarkably rich in examples of faith, patience, industry, and kindness, nor less so in indications of the care which God takes of those who put their trust in him.”

- PEG ratio The price/earnings to earnings growth, or PEG, ratio is used as a rule of thumb to consider basic value while taking earnings growth into account. You get it by dividing a stock's p/e by the annual growth rate of its earnings per share. The lower a PEG the better, as it means a stock is cheap relative to its potential earnings growth. Thus firm A, a flashy biotech, might have a p/e of 100, but a growth rate of 50%, giving it a PEG of two, while firm B, a solid support services group with a p/e of ten and a growth rate of 7% has a PEG of 1.4. On the face of it, firm A seems more exciting, but the PEG ratio shows that in risk and reward (price and growth) terms, it is the more expensive. • Watch Tim Bennett's video tutorial: Beginner's guide to investing: What does a PEG ratio tell you?

Castle – a defining contribution Sulphurous bowl (2009) is from one of the last series of works by eminent New Zealand potter Len Castle, who died in late 2011. Its glaze evokes the country’s volcanic landscape, which so captivated him. Castle began working as a potter in the late 1940s, when New Zealand studio pottery was still in its infancy. He was an innovator, particularly in his exploration of the properties of clay and his experimentation with form. Over time, his work became increasingly conceptual, reflecting his growing interest in New Zealand’s geothermal and coastal landscapes. Te Papa’s various acquisitions of Castle’s work, including recent ones, acknowledge his important role in the New Zealand ceramics movement. This text was prepared for the Collecting Contemporary exhibition, February 2012.


Word Origin & History 1440 (attested as a surname, John Mussheron, from 1327), from Anglo-Fr. musherun, perhaps from L.L. mussirionem (nom. mussirio), though this may as well be borrowed from Fr. Barnhart says "of uncertain origin." Klein calls it "a word of pre-Latin origin, used in the North of France;" OED says it usually is held to be a derivative of Fr. mousse "moss," and Weekley agrees, saying it is properly "applied to variety which grows in moss." For the final -m he refers to grogram, vellum, venom. Used figuratively for "sudden appearance in full form" from 1590s. The verb meaning "expand or increase rapidly" is first recorded 1903. In ref. to the shape of clouds after explosions, etc., it is attested from 1916, though the actual phrase mushroom cloud does not appear until 1958.


The War of 1812 began. Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo by British, German, and Dutch forces. Suffragist Susan B. Anthony was fined 100 for attempting to vote in the 1872 presidential election. Aviator Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. She completed the flight from Newfoundland to Wales in about 21 hours. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights adopted its International Declaration of Human Rights. The General Assembly would give it final approval on Dec. 10, 1948. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space.


Sun unleashes X6.9 class flare; Earth spared this time August 10, 2011 On August 9, 2011 at 3:48 a.m. EDT, the sun emitted an Earth-directed X6.9 flare, as measured by the NOAA GOES satellite. This was the largest flare of the current solar cycle, an R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout, alternatively classified as an X6, according to the U.S. NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. These gigantic bursts of radiation can disrupt GPS and communications signals. In this case, scientists say the eruption took place on the side of the sun that was not facing Earth, so there’ll be little impact to satellites and communication systems, AP reports. Space scientist Joe Kunches at the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado says there were reports of brief short-wave radio disruptions in Asia, but little else.


Carahunge or Karahundj, Zorakarer (Zorats Karer) is 3, 500 years older than England’s Stonehenge and 3, 000 years older than the Egyptian pyramids. The total area of the observatory in Armenia is 7 hectares. According to the scientist’s findings, a temple consisting of 40 stones built in honor of the Armenians’ main God, Ari, meaning the Sun, is situated in the central part of Carahunge (Karahunj or Zorats Karer). Besides the temple, it had a large and developed observatory, and also a university that makes up the temple’s wings. “They sit like soldiers on a hill, huddled in formation. The 204 stones near Sissian have been ascribed with mystical, fertility and cosmic powers, but rarely have ancient monuments caused such a sensation in astronomical circles.

UMA's Jennifer Bailey (Silverdale, WA) shares an idea for the Science area of the classroom: "We are doing a spring botany unit and are discussing the needs of plants. We have an experiment going to see what happens when plants don't get what they need... 1. The first plant is the control getting both sun and water (L=sun, R=raindrop) 2. The next gets sun but no water (L=sun, R=slash-marked raindrop) There are two plants under the boxes: 3. One gets water (L=slash-marked sun, R=raindrop) 4. The other does not (L=slash-marked sun, R=slash-marked raindrop) We check them every couple of days and we're talking about the results that we are seeing." Great idea...thanks, Jennifer!

Closest neighbors of the Solar System (Image: Pennsylvania State University) Artist's conception of WISE J1049-5319, with the brightly shining Sun 6.5 light years away in the background (Photo: Pennsylvania State University/Janella Williams) Gemini South reveals that WISE J1049-5319 is a binary star (Photo: NASA/JPL/Gemini Observatory/AURA/NSF) In a day when we have examined astronomical objects shining forth from a time shortly after the Big Bang, one would think astronomers have a pretty good handle on what is in the immediate vicinity of the Solar System. That's why the recent report of a binary star lying only 6.5 light-years away came as rather a surprise to the astronomical community. The pair, called WISE J1049-5319 A and B, are brown dwarf stars and only two star systems – the triple star Alpha Centauri, and Barnard's Star – lie closer to our Sun.

Seminolefrican in Purple is the title of this latest piece which combines African and Native American textile styles. It is documented that the Seminole Indians of Georgia and Florida accepted runaway African slaves and free men into their fold. The two groups learned and thrived from each other which was viewed as a threat to the status quo of United States government who dealt with them accordingly. This work salutes the idea of cultures coming together for a common good and represents what could have been another successful and culturally vibrant American community. Seminolefrican in Purple will be showcased with the Harlem Girls Quilting Circles The Color Purple Exhibition which is part of HOAST (Harlem Open Artist Studio Tour), 10/4 & 10/5 at 27 Mount Morris Park West bt. 122nd and 123rd Streets.


As with biofuels, it’s reassuring that public policy attention is also turning to unnecessary waste of food. Rightly so, as the wastage is colossal. New research from the Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that 40% of all food produced in the United States goes to waste. A typical household of four throws away $2,275 of food each year and the overall total wastage is valued at an almost unimaginable $165 billion. The volume has increased by 50% since the 1970s. It’s easy to understand why. Reasons include relatively low prices and increased portion sizes. Recommended solutions include less wasteful shopping habits and clearer date labelling. Regrettably, 40% wastage is not uncommon elsewhere, including in developing countries where the greater problem is collection and processing rather than distribution and consumption.

The London 2012 Paralympic Games have drawn attention to the role that technology and science can play in overcoming human limitations. From wind tunnel-tested wheelchairs to running blades and other prosthetics, technology has been used to adapt or enhance the human body for sporting success. In the Paralympics, the forms of human enhancement are generally considered to be therapeutic, i.e. overcoming a perceived disability. However, there is an emerging intellectual movement called transhumanism, which explores the application of technology and science to enhance human bodies and minds regardless of whether they are perceived to have any disabilities. Transhumanist pursuits generally have the objective of extending human life, but may include low-level biohacking, physical augmentation, performance-enhancing drugs and even genetic modification.


Portrait of a Girl Reading (1842). Thomas Sully (English-born American Painter, 1783-1872). Studied under Sir Thomas Lawrence and Benjamin West. Specialized in portraits. Lawrence taught Sully how to produce flowing, glossy brush strokes for the elegant, romantic poses that earned him the nickname “the Lawrence of America.” His likenesses of 500 historic figures, including Daniel Boone, Benjamin Franklin, and U.S. presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and Andrew Jackson, are national treasures. In 2000, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City presented a retrospective of his drawings and canvases.

From Ancestry.com Wiki This entry was originally written by Kathleen Stanton Hutchison for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources. The ports of New Orleans and then Mobile were main ports of entry for those nineteenth-century immigrants who later came to settle in Mississippi. Gulfport, Harrison County, served as port of entry in the twentieth century. National land passports were issued to those passing through Native American lands or foreign-held land. Occasionally they give a description of the person and an explanation for the reason of passage. For publication of these types of passports pertaining to Mississippi, see Dorothy Williams Potter, Passports of Southeastern Pioneers, 1770–1823: Indian, Spanish and Other Land Passports for Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, North and South Carolina (Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1982).


Date of this Version Growing concerns about avian influenza, and its effect on agriculture and human health, have highlighted the need to understand the role of wildlife in maintaining and spreading the virus. We surveyed the wildlife inhabiting a poultry farm with recent I-I3N6 and H4N6 avian influenza virus exposure in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. One raccoon (Procyon lotor) tested positive for H4N6 antibodies. This is the first recorded incident of avian influenza exposure in a wild raccoon. We suggest that raccoons may play a role in the transmission of avian influenza viruses and in compromising biosecurity efforts at poultry operations.

Lynx is a Genus or group of species of cats that inhabit North America, Europe and Asia. These species include the Bobcat, Canadian Lynx, Iberian Lynx, and Eurasian Lynx. The Lynx has a short tail, thick fur coat, and tufts of fur on either side of its face. Its head, back, and tail are a dark gold with spots, and its undercoat is white. Here to See Lynx Pictures Most lynx prefer rabbits, but will also eat rodents, birds, and reptiles. Some have even been known to hunt small deer. Lynx will typically have 1 to 5 cubs at a time after a gestation period of 2.5 months. At birth the cubs are blind. Lynx kits will stay with their mother until the following mating season and may remain with their siblings for another year or two. Relationship with Humans Farmers and hunters have killed many of the subspecies of lynxes to near extinction, paricularly in Europe.


Any member of a class of compounds of low molecular weight which yield two or more amino acids on hydrolysis. Formed by loss of water from the nh2 and cooh groups of adjacent amino acids, they are known as di-, tri-, tetra- (etc.) peptides, depending on the number of amino acids in the molecule. Peptides form the constituent parts of proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |Bookmark with:||word visualiser||Go and visit our forums|

Archaeologists were taken aback. It was extremely rare in ancient Egypt for an elite tomb to be shared by two men of apparently equal standing. The usual practice was for such mortuary temples to be the resting place of one prominent man, his wife and children.But wait. There's an alternate theory: they were conjoined twins. And it was most unusual for a couple of the same sex to be depicted locked in an embrace. In other scenes, they are also shown holding hands and nose-kissing, the favored form of kissing in ancient Egypt. "The gay-couple idea is essentially derived from imposing modern preoccupations on ancient materials and not attending to the cultural context."


After reading the article by Martin, I had to open the textbook from my Genetics class and read how sexual reproduction was explained in it. Text: Genetics by Robert J. Brooker Male gametes, or sperm cells, are relatively small and usually travel far distances to reach the female gamete. The mobility of the male gamete is an important characteristic, making it likely that it will come in close proximity to the female gamete. Compared to sperm cells, the female gamete, known as the egg cell, or ovum, is usually very large and nonmotile. These gametes fuse with each other in the process of fertilization to begin the life of a new organism. Do you think that there are hidden stereotypes within this explanation?


Lesson Plans and Worksheets Browse by Subject - Vanessa B., Teacher - Stoneham, MA Associative Property Teacher Resources Find teacher approved Associative Property educational resource ideas and activities Math properties can be tricky, but this worksheet's visual approach makes them accessible to young learners. First, they apply the associative property by filling in the blanks of an equivalent equation, concluding that the values are equal despite the parentheses' placement. Then, they examine a set of dinosaurs to understand the commutative property (consider having them write the corresponding numbers in). Lastly, learners rewrite an expression to demonstrate the associative property.


Could talking to animals guide us to talking to extraterrestrials? Discovery News reports: For 27 years, marine biologist Denise Herzing and colleagues have been regular visitors in the Atlantic Ocean home of a 200-member pod of spotted dolphins living north of the Bahama Islands. Understanding the relationships between the members of the pod is key to unraveling what their dozens of whistles, clicks and other signals mean. “The large goal of this project is to tell the story of what it’s like to be a dolphin,” Herzing, a researcher with Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and the founder and head of the Wild Dolphin Project, told Discovery News.

Here and there across the Canadian countryside you’ll see these bright blue shelters placed in patterns in pastures. Their openings all face the same direction and their presence has a rather otherworldy feeling about it. What are these things? They are plastic shelters for alfalfa leaf-cutter bees, a native North American bee that has been domesticated. The blue dome is used in western Canada, variations in other parts of the continent. The shelters, usually found in alfalfa pastures, are needed for their warming ability and as a place for the bees to build their nests out of alfalfa leaves. One shelter for every 4 to 5 acres contains about a dozen nests.

- An essential branched-chain amino acid important for hemoglobin formation. Definition from: MeSH via Unified Medical Language System at the National Library of Medicine - One of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions. Leucine contributes to regulation of blood-sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue; growth hormone production; and wound healing. Leucine also prevents breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria. Leucine is available in many foods and deficiency is rare.

Self-Injury Awareness Day (SIAD) is an international event, which takes place every year on 1st March. Why do people self-injure? People self-injure to deal with their emotional distress. Self-injury/self-harm affects people of all ages, genders, sexualities, races and religions. The chances are that you know someone who self-injures, even if you don’t know about it. There are various ways in which people cope when they are in distress or upset, and self-injury is just one type of coping mechanism. Specific reasons behind an individual’s self-injury are varied. Various information resources about self-injury can be found in the CCN Information Store. Please ask at the Enquiries or Issue desks for more information.


The first concentration camps were built in Germany soon after Hitler came to power in 1933. If the Jews were caught they were either shot on the spot or handled roughly handled to be sent to the concentration camps Many prisoners were shot, died of hunger, disease, or exhaustion. Also Jews were dipped in acid baths and put into gas chambers. Inside the concentration camps the Jews were slaves to the Nazis. They would work all day and sleep a couple hours a night. The concentration camps were liberated in the first months of 1945. The major concentration camps were Aschwitz and Dachau.


OSHA rules apply to tobacco smoke only in rare and extreme circumstances, such as when contaminants created by a manufacturing process combine with tobacco smoke to create a dangerous workplace air supply that fails OSHA standards. Workplace air quality standards and measurement techniques are so technical that, typically, only OSHA agents or consultants who specialize in environmental testing are able to determine when the air quality falls below allowable limits. However, many state and local governments have separate laws that prohibit or restrict smoking in the workplace. For more information, see Nolo's article Smoking in the Workplace. For a comprehensive guide to workplace laws, get Your Rights in the Workplace, by Barbara Repa (Nolo).

Patrick assesses the future of world order, state sovereignty, and multilateral cooperation. The 21st century is the dawn of a new era in human history: more people on Earth live in cities than in the countryside. The impacts of this new basic fact are far-reaching. One of those is that cities that are in particular environments are more prone to certain natural disasters and will be increasingly vulnerable as their populations increase (especially megacities in the developing world).

Achromatic is an adjective that means “free of color.” In printing, achromatic is used as a synonym for “black and white.” A black and white print has shades of grey, but greyscale is also considered to be achromatic because it lacks hue, which means it cannot be classified as a subset of the colors red, green, blue (RGB) or yellow. In optics, an achromatic lens is a composite lens made of up at least two different types of glass. The lens is designed to reduce color errors. An achromatic lens transmits light without decomposing it spectrally. The Intranet Encyclopedia of Science has more information about achromatic lenses.


(March 16, 2012) A new Risk Control Communiqué on Floor Buffers in Schools and Carbon Monoxide Hazards has been released by Glatfelter Public Practice. The use of propane powered floor buffers by custodial staff in schools presents the potential for a build-up of carbon monoxide. Fatalities have been reported in custodial and janitorial staff who were operating propane powered floor buffers indoors. It is important to recognize the potential dangers when using floor buffers regularly throughout classrooms and hallways because the operating equipment may present a possible carbon monoxide exposure that could be harmful to employees, students and the public that use school facilities. This communiqué offers suggestions how to reduce and / or control carbon monoxide in schools. Learn more information in the Floor Buffers in Schools and Carbon Monoxide Hazards Communiqué.


Health Tip: Clogged Ears On a Plane? -- Changes in altitude, such as those you experience when flying, can cause an uncomfortable "clogged" feeling in your ears. If you try to relieve the pressure by blowing your nose too hard, you could perforate the eardrum or force bacteria into the deeper parts of the ear. The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions to help you safely relieve pressure in the ears when flying: - About an hour before your flight is scheduled to leave, take a decongestant. - Try yawning to gently relieve pressure as altitude changes. - Keep swallowing to help unclog ears. - Chew a piece of gum while the plane ascends and descends. - If your ears still feel clogged, inhale, hold your nose, and very gently exhale with your mouth closed until you feel relief. Be very careful not to do this with too much force. Posted: January 2009


Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary 1) The name used for the principal trial court in many states. 2) In the federal system, the term may refer to courts within the 13 circuits. Eleven of these circuits cover different geographic areas of the country -- for example, the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit covers Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. The remaining circuits are the District of Columbia, and the Federal Circuit, (which hears patent, customs, and other specialized cases based on subject matter). The term derives from an age before mechanized transit, when judges and lawyers rode the circuit of their territory to hold court in various places.

Hewlett-Packard's ink cartridges promise a clear, sharp and vivid range of color. Anyone who has ever printed out a picture from a little league game or a document in the office knows this! But Paul Nash, Senior Plastics Engineer at HP, is focused on just one color — green. He's helping to develop the HP "closed loop" ink cartridge recycling process. The process combines recycled content from HP ink cartridges with recycled plastic bottle materials to create new Original HP ink cartridges. Paul is also playing a critical role in the development of bioplastics that biodegrade quickly — all in the name of a greener, healthier planet. To learn how we're making color printing more green, check out this video:


Have you ever noticed how clouds look different? We brainstormed a list of ideas about clouds. We have noticed that some clouds are fluffy, some flat, some long, some short, some white, some dark, some of them are scattered in the sky, and some are close together. We know alot about the way clouds look. We went out to observe the clouds today but there was a little problem...we could only see clouds in the distance. There weren't any close to us. We didn't let this stop us! We observed the clouds from a distance and will observe them again another day soon. When we finished observing, we came in and made cloud pictures of our own. We used cotton balls and made a model of a cloud that we've seen before. After we finished, we wrote about our cloud. Check out these awesome clouds! Check back tomorrow...we'll be classifying clouds!

One of the main problems with traditional education is the factory model it uses for grouping and advancing students through grade levels. This model leaves little room for individualization, customization, pace adjustment and other unique needs and circumstances. Digital learning, or online education, changes the model completely. Technology allows students to learn, as Florida Virtual School says, “Any time, any place, any path, any pace.” Utah is implementing aspects of digital learning into its public education system, but it needs to do more. Check out the video below to see how digital learning can truly revolutionize student learning and achievement.


Peptide is a small piece of protein used to kill off tumors and stimulate the immune system. At first, doctors thought peptide could only fight against breast cancer when it was tested in mice. But now, they found it had the same tumor-killing effects toward kidney, bone and lung cancer. In the meantime, more tests will be conducted to see if it will work against human cancer cells. The ultimate goal is to develop a vaccine that would fight a broad spectrum of cancers. However, human trials are at least five years away.

San Salvador is the first landfall site of Christopher Columbus on his initial voyage of discovery in 1492. Four separate monuments mark the exact spot Columbus came ashore, however, it is generally regarded that he landed at Long Bay where a big stone cross stands. Called Guanahani by the native Lucayan Indians, Columbus renamed the island San Salvador. San Salvador is located in the far eastern Bahamas. It is small in size (63-square-mile) but not in scenery and is surrounded by superb beaches and reefs. It is an ideal place for snorkeling, diving and fishing.


No, this isn't a tutorial on creating a robot. It's a new music video from a group called the Robotmakers and here's what they have to say about their creation, ""Building a Robot" is the result of a long evolutionary process that resulted in successive generations of forms, some of which we call music. Natural selection and repeated lethal mutations winnowed the results. We are left with the Robot Maker's opus, which cannot be used as proof of intelligent design." A whole pile of interesting electronic gear was used to produce the music, including one of Rog-a-matic's own modular synthesizers. Oh, and did I mention there are some robots in the video?


Fine Motor Development focuses on developing your child's hand skills and involves the development of the small muscle groups of the hand, e.g., palm, fingers. The development of these muscles allows for greater hand strength, dexterity, coordination of hand movement, manipulation of tools and equipment and more developed hand – eye coordination. Depending on your child's stage of development your child will be encouraged to reach, grasp, manipulate, construct, thread, cut, button, etc. These skills will eventually assist in the formation of a mature pencil grip and ultimately lead to writing. Many of these toys can be found under Educational Toys, Baby Toys, Building Blocks, Construction Sets, Painting, Drawing, Craft Sets, Childrens Puzzles.


Sail loft in Thomaston. With thousands of sailing vessels to be outfitted in Penobscot Bay over the course of the nineteenth century, sailmaking was an important and popular trade. Note the tools used by a sailmaker in the end of the bench. Sail lofts needed much open floor space. One loft had a suspended wood stove in order to heat the space without losing continuous floor space.


Standards and guidelines development One form of responsible business concerns guidelines and best practice. For example, in the construction industry, building codes are under current discussion in relation to natural disasters. Earthquake, hurricane and other disaster damage sees far more deaths in areas where structures are built according to less demanding requirements. Both business organisations and non profits can join in development of best practice that can help raise standards to protect and support people’s economic or environmental needs. Companies bring their expertise. NGOs bring their experience of the issues concerned and those affected by them. Both groups, for transparency’s sake, can partner with further stakeholders, including academics, guideline practitioners, public sector representatives and more.

All bullying situations involve different environments, personalities, circumstances, people, outcomes, etc. and one single consequence for all actions is suggesting discipline should be a “one size fits all” strategy. Since each bullying action involves different intentions, actions, severity, and the above mentioned factors we need to treat all bullying situations and interventions individually and on a case by case basis. School policy dictates what consequence is given to the person who performed a bullying action, but this website provides additional suggested interventions to assist in preventing further bullying acts.

Evidence of a Martian Sea A magnified view from NASA's Opportunity rover offers evidence that the rover sits on the shoreline of what was once a salty sea on Mars. Rippled patterns in the rocks at Meridiani Planum suggest that the land there was once a salt flat or playa, sometimes covered by shallow water and sometimes dry. Telltale patterns called crossbedding and festooning, in which some layers within a rock lie at angles to the main layers, led scientists to the conclusion that the rippled shapes formed under a current of water -- and not wind.

What Can We Do? How do we contribute to global warming? In most parts of the world, when we use energy, we produce CO2 emissions. Lowering emissions to help curb climate change is possible, starting right now. Consuming less, riding the train instead of driving solo or unplugging idle electronics may seem like small steps, but these measures make a difference, especially when whole communities do them.


The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population at the time, and covered more than 13 million square miles (34 million km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous territories.


The known facts about St. Brigid of Kildare are few, but she is revered as one of Ireland's three patron saints (along with Patrick and Columba). What we do know is that she was a fifth-century nun who founded the Abbey of Kildare, southwest of Dublin. Both monks and nuns lived there, and many accounts record that Brigid served as superior of both the men and women. In any event, the Abbey of Kildare contributed significantly to the spread of Christianity throughout Ireland at a time when traditional Irish religion was disappearing. Many miracles have been attributed to Brigid. What is more certain is that she was an extraordinary woman who was known especially for her generosity to the poor. Because of the prominence the Abbey of Kildare gained under Brigid's leadership, she is considered the special patron of scholars. Her feast day is observed on February 1.


234. J. Hersch and W. K. Viscusi, The Courtroom Comes to the Classroom: Estimating Economic Damages as an Instructional Device, 5/98; subsequently published in Journal of Economic Education, Vol. 29, No. 4, Fall 1998, 301-311 . Abstract: A mock trial setting provides a superb opportunity for students to apply their economic knowledge. This format utilizes a team approach in which parties representing the plaintiff and defense provide calculations of economic damages, which are presented before a jury. Because this exercise replicates actual activities by economists in trial settings, it serves as a credible exercise for motivating economic students in general and pre-law students in particular. This article includes the background information needed to carry out such a classroom trial exercise.


The brewery museum is the only museum of its type in the world and it is housed in the Brewery house. The house has been preserved in its original appearance, consequently visitors can see the Gothic malt-house with a well, the malt drying kiln, the roller, the refrigeration room, the two-level cellars and the area of the former taproom. Hundreds of unique exhibits document the history of beer brewing from ancient times to the present. The development of the beer drinking culture is represented by the exhibition of two pubs – the country pub originating in the 19th century and the town pub originating at the beginning of the 20th century. One of the oldest Pilsen ale-houses, called Parkán, is located in the neighbourhood of the Brewery museum. Its name is derived from its location in the area between the medieval town fortifications, the so-called parkan area.


Solanum melongena esculentum White Eggplant was listed along with a purple variety in several eastern United States seed catalogues by 1825 and Jefferson was growing both types at Monticello in 1812. Early catalogues recommended the White Eggplant for ornamental rather than culinary use, but today some people consider it the superior edible type. Also known as melongena, eggplant originated in Asia, where it has been grown for centuries. Eggplant yields egg-shaped fruits, up to six inches long, which turn from ivory to golden yellow when fully ripe.

A REGULAR ebb and flow of material deep in the Sun may be linked to the mysterious sunspot cycle. Magnetic activity on the Sun produces sunspots, which peak roughly every 11 years. To try to find out why, a team led by Rachel Howe at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories in Tucson, Arizona, looked at ripples on the face of the Sun, which can reveal conditions deep beneath its surface. Howe's team found that two-thirds of the way from the centre, where scientists think solar magnetic fields originate, the rotation of material accelerates then decelerates every 1.3 years. This pulse may synchronise the sunspot cycle, although scientists have yet to explain how (

Published in Cancer Weekly, May 29th, 2006 According to a study from France, "The use of impulsive acoustic radiation force for strain imaging was investigated. A focused ultrasound transducer was used to apply localized radiation force to a small volume of tissue mimic (100 mm3) for durations of 8 ms." "A conventional real-time ultrasound imaging probe was used to obtain echo signals. The resulting strains were mapped using ultrasound correlation-based methods. The instantaneous strain immediately following cessation of the radiation force was observed at depth within homogeneous gels and within stiff... Want to see the full article? Welcome to NewsRx!

As reported by New Scientist, American astronomers, used the hundred-meter radio telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia, were able to detect 21 previously unknown pulsars. Pulsars are hidden in a cluster of ancient (not to say the oldest) stars in globular clusters Terzan five near the center of our galaxy. Earlier in this cluster have been three known pulsar. This is so far the absolute record of any known star cluster. The previous record holder – 47 Tucanae (47 Tucanae) contains only 22 of the pulsar.


Perhaps no one was better suited to provide a written history of the Methodist Episcopal Church than Nathan Bangs. The brilliant, self-educated theologian had not only served as president of Wesleyan University, but he had also volunteered himself as an itinerant preacher in Canada during a time of war. Later, he founded the Methodist Missionary Society. The third volume of Bangs’ History picks up where the last left off, at the end of the War of 1812. With the Methodist church growing and gaining notoriety, controversies over theology and practice enabled it to better define itself. Bangs includes the names and proceedings of the General Conferences during this time (1816-1828).

Sea Turtle Nesting Season is May 1 through October 31 Sea turtles spend most of their lives at sea, but each year, beginning in May, the females crawl ashore in the darkness of night on local beaches to dig a nest and lay their eggs. Also at night, several weeks later, the hatchlings burst from their nest and immediately scramble toward the water. Moving quickly from nest to sea is critical for their survival.

Project Groundhog was always one of my favorite projects of the school year. Registration has just opened for 2012, so I wanted to make sure that all of you knew about it. Project Groundhog is about finding out if the groundhog is really a good predictor of the weather or not. For the six weeks following Groundhog's Day, you record the daily temperature and sky conditions in your area. The information is collected and shared weekly with the classes in your group via email and the Project Groundhog website. My students always loved learning about the other classes in our group. We used big floor maps to find their location. We learned about each group's community, and shared various pictures and projects along the way. Registration is now open for 2012.

Book Description: Aeschylus, the earliest of the great Attic tragedians, presented his Oresteia at Athens' City Dionysia festival in 458 BCE. Born in the last quarter of the sixth century, Aeschylus had fought with the victorious Greeks in one and probably both of the Persian Wars (190 and 480-79). He died around 456 at about seventy years of age in Gela, Sicily. His epitaph records his role as a soldier at Marathon, not his artistic achievements, but these were many. The author of more than seventy plays, he won his first of thirteen tragic victories in 484. Of these plays, only seven remain. The Oresteia is Aeschylus' only complete surviving trilogy; the satyr play with which it was first performed, Proteus, is lost. Peter Meineck has aimed to translate the Oresteia for the modern stage.

The study of politics revolves around conflict and compromise. Several scholars examine strategies used in the competitive quest for power or other values. Others study psychological factors of identity that influence group conflicts. Theorists attempt to develop models of decision making and political behavior that help explain the general processes of conflict. The course presents a set of tools useful in the study of conflict processes, and examines the importance of gender in conflict. Further, we examine a number of case studies to compare how conflicts develop in different settings. An important aspect of the course is a research project in which you will analyze a conflict of your choice. - Credits: 3 - Faculty: Dr. Carter


Cooperative Extension's mission is to stimulate learning through exploration and discovery, and to enhance agriculture, the environment, our natural resource base, family and youth well-being and the development of local communities. We accomplish this mission by the integration, dissemination, and application of knowledge in agricultural and life science. Labor is one of the biggest input costs for vegetable growers. With lettuce, the average cost for thinning and weeding in the fields is more than $120 an acre. A new automated lettuce thinner developed by the University of Arizona (UA), which could be available commercially within the next year or two, might change that.

It used to be that rare books and manuscripts were once restricted to scholars and graduate students in white gloves. Now they are more routinely being incorporated into undergraduate courses at institutions like the University of Iowa, Smith College, the University of Washington and Harvard. Last academic year, almost 200 classes and student tours visited the rare-books collection of the University of Pennsylvania. Dusty bits may fall off cracked leather bindings, but medieval paper made from discarded clothing, and parchment or vellum from animal skins, are remarkably durable. Gloves, it has been decided, make a reader paw at pages, with more potential to rip them (while diminishing the sensory experience). Now, dry, clean hands are the preferred tool, with no liquids or pens in sight. Read more about how rare book librarians are reaching out to their undergraduate students.


liqs8143 writes "Solar Impulse, a fully solar-powered airplane, has completed its first international solar-powered flight. After a flight lasting 12 hours 59 minutes at an altitude of 12,400 feet, using no fuel and propelled by solar energy alone, Solar Impulse HB-SIA landed safely in Brussels, Switzerland. After the landing, company co-founder Bertrand Piccard said, 'Our goal is to create a revolution in the minds of the people . . . to promote solar energies — not necessarily a revolution in aviation.' Compared with 2003, energy efficiency has increased from 16 to 22 percent. And the cells are now half as thick. The project has a total cost of $88 million, which is funded by mostly-Swiss partners and public donations."


This review analyses some of the major events and trends related to natural disasters and humanitarian disaster response and looks at the experience of developed countries with natural disasters in 2011. Highlighting evidences from the Japanese earthquake-tsunami-nuclear accident, the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, floods in Australia, and tornadoes, hurricanes and drought in the United States, it reminds that natural hazards affect all regions of the world and even rich countries have much to learn about both disaster risk reduction and disaster response. The review then looks at the intersection of drought, famine and conflict, with a particular focus on the Horn of Africa in 2011. And finally, it closes with a contribution about the impact of natural disasters on one particularly vulnerable – and resourceful – sector of society: the elderly. Tag This Document

Main StreetArticle Free Pass Main Street, novel by Sinclair Lewis, published in 1920. The story of Main Street is filtered through the eyes of Carol Kennicott, a young woman married to a Midwestern doctor who settles in the Minnesota town of Gopher Prairie (modeled on Lewis’s hometown of Sauk Centre). The book’s power derives from the careful rendering of local speech, customs, and social amenities. The satire is double-edged—directed against both the townspeople and the superficial intellectualism of those who despise them. What made you want to look up "Main Street"?

Elderberries are making headlines lately, but the truth is they’ve been a folk remedy for centuries. The Latin name for elderberries is sambucus nigra; it is also commonly known as black elderberry and North American elderberry. Elderberries contain organic pigments, tannin, amino acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, sugar, rutin, viburnic acid, vitamins A and B and a large amount of vitamin C. Flavonoids, including quercetin, are believed to account for the therapeutic actions of the elderberry flowers and berries. Elderberries and elderberry juice are thought to increase antioxidant activity, lower cholesterol, improve vision, boost the immune system and improve heart health. Many people also drink elderberry juice to help alleviate coughs, colds, flu, bacterial and viral infections and tonsillitis. Source: Herb Wisdom

Tech Talk 13 Most flow meters are calibrated with no back pressure on the outlet side (unless specified). Rarely, however, are flow meters used without some back pressure. Because pressure compresses the gas being measured, the measured volume will change depending on the pressure at which it is being used. At high pressure, the meter may read five cfh, but the flow may actually be ten cfh. When used in vacuum applications, flow meters are off even further. Therefore, you should never expect the meter to provide an accurate reading, unless it has been calibrated for the same gas at the pressure and back pressure at which it is to be used. As inaccurate as these meters may be, they are good tools for "relative" flow adjustments and for resetting the same flow used in the past. © Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems, Inc.

ENGL 261 The Bible as Literature (5) The Bible as Literature examines the Bible, both the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Testament, as a collection of literary works. Students learn to recognize plot, theme, character, setting, and style and to consider the interaction of those elements. They also learn about the history of the composition, transmission, and translation of the works. The purpose of the course is not to supplant the Bible as a religious text, but to enhance each student’s appreciation of the Bible regardless of his or her religious convictions. Prerequisite: ENGL& 101 with a minimum grade of C.


"Cantor" is an ancient term that has come to have multiple meanings, including "leader of the people's song." Cantors historically have proclaimed the Word of God most especially in psalmody, and in our context provide opportunities for people to participate in the dialogue of Liturgy - the "work of the People of God." Cantors are selected for their leadership skills, their musical ability, and their desire to proclaim God's word in the midst of the people gathered. Cantors receive formation in the skills necessary to carry out their ministry. The Cantor information page which includes the schedule and materials is available here.
