A video documentary on learning mathematics for K-8 teachers and administrators; 1 one-hour video program Many people — in and out of school — find mathematics frustrating, difficult, even impossible. This documentary uncovers a surprise: Mathematical creativity — expressed in art, architecture, and music and valued by industry — is built into the brain and can flourish under the right conditions. A remarkable 12-year study following students from first grade through high school demonstrates the brain's surprising natural abilities for learning math. The study, led by Professor Carolyn Maher of Rutgers University, brought results that are corroborated by new research from leading cognitive psychologists. Discover ways to unlock this natural human gift for mathematics in classrooms, workplaces, and homes. Produced by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. 2001.


Don't study words at random and get them all confused. Get them straight and put them into long-term memory. Start now with the Latin root pugnare, meaning to fight. So many SAT Prep courses and testing materials give list after list of random words to be memorized. Students don’t enjoy these vocabulary lists and, frankly, they don’t benefit much from using them. The advantage of using Latin lies in the fact that one Latin root word can yield a dozen or more English derivatives. Search these pages and discover the Latin advantage in building vocabulary for the upcoming SAT exam. Start with a list of SAT prep vocabulary. The Greek language is equally powerful in understanding the roots of advanced English words. Unlock standardized vocabulary tests with the study of Greek root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Take the tedium from SAT test preparation. Make every minute of study count.


The islands of hard geology on the floodplain have been a focus for human activity over the last 10,000 years. We have been investigating the earliest history of some of the islands in the Brue valley as part of a joint project with Reading University, Southampton University and Somerset County Council, funded by English Heritage. Lots of small holes, lots of hot digging, lots of mole and root disturbance, not much that looked like sand but… yes! – worked flint from several test pits Huzzah! – post and stake holes from Brickyard Farm dated to the early Neolithic -the same time as the Sweet Track Oooh!- lots of beaver chewed wood at the edge of Shapwick Burtle A 3D recreation of the Mesolithic landscape has been created in partnership with Archeritage and can be sen here Well I never!- a bronze age stake from peat near Canada Farm.

You can perform tasks to manage both the discussion board itself and the content within forums and threads. For example, to keep students focused as the term progresses, edit forum settings or organize forums and threads to attract attention again. You can also forums to other locations, edit content, and delete unneeded forums or threads. You can also enable tagging and attach tags to help students locate important posts. You can assign forum roles to limit access to a forum or to help with forum administration. For example, to help control the discussion board content that is presented to your students, you can assign a responsible user the role of moderator.

It seems an unlikely concept: teenagers forgoing the immediacy of a McDonald's Big Mac to learn how to cook their own lower-fat version. But that's what some students at the Flandreau Indian School in South Dakota are doing, and it has a deeper significance. The experience is teaching them about bison, an animal considered sacred in their Native American culture. The students are part of a pilot project started by the Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe and South Dakota State University researchers to restore the cultural significance of the animal and consumption of bison meat among community members, particularly young people. Through cooking demonstrations and educational outreach, the students are learning that healthier and tasty options are available that also connect them to their ancestors.


According to a recently published study, there are more than 500,000 new Hepatitis C infections in Egypt every year, far more than any other country in the world. Around 10% of the most populous Arab country are infected with the virus causing Hepatitis C, creating a huge reservoir that drives the infection. The Ministry of Health in Egypt, however, claims the numbers in the new survey are "exaggerated". Since it is a blood borne diseases, the bulk of virus transmission takes place through the healthcare system. It first spread in Egypt through syringe reuse. Lax sterilization practices in public hospitals and private clinics feed the epidemic.


What is the meaning of the English word… MONSTER? an imaginary creature that is typically large and scary Children often think there is a monster under their bed. Dave felt the panic returning–looming like a swamp monster over some swamp horizon that he had thought was far away but turned out to be right there in his own kitchen. Note: Many vocabulary words have more than one definition. The definition shown here is for the online course below.


To the dismay of "Star Wars" fans everywhere, physicists have long cried foul about the science of building real-life lightsabers. According to conventional physics, photons don't behave like regular particles of matter. They are massless particles, and can't interact with one another. It's therefore impossible to build anything out of light with a solid structure, such as a lightsaber. But a breakthrough new discovery from researchers at the Harvard-MIT Center for Ultracold Atoms could change everything, according to phys.org (link provided below). They have discovered how to make individual photons interact and bind together into molecular structures. Not only does this represent a whole new state of matter, but these light molecules can potentially be shaped to form solid structures — in other words, lightsabers! - Reposted by

Add to Spiritual Diary Due to a transport strike, buses are not plying on the Tirumala Hills, on top of which is located the famous Tirupati temple. But earlier strikes never stopped buses plying towards Balaji's abode. Over 1,500 buses ply daily between Tirupati and Tirumala Venkateswara temple. The plight of the pilgrims can well be imagined. There were always pilgrims who wanted to do the nine-kilometre uphill trek on foot, a practice popular in Hindu religion. But most pilgrims, especially those who have come from far, usually travelled by bus. The Tirupati Balaji temple is the richest Hindu temple in the world. More than 50,000 pilgrims visit the temple every day.


The United States Congress designated the Holy Cross Wilderness (map ) in 1980 and it now has a total of 122,446 acres All of this wilderness is located in Colorado and is managed by the Forest Service. The Holy Cross Wilderness is characterized by rugged ridgelines and glacier-carved valleys complete with spruce-fir forests, cascading streams and dozens of lakes. The wilderness is named after Mount of the Holy Cross, which became famous in 1873 when William Henry Jackson first photographed the cross of snow on the northeast face of the mountain. Over 150 miles of trail traverse the area, providing excellent opportunities for day hiking and backpacking trips.


could u help me with my java programming? i have this problem: Thanks a lot!!!! The mathematician Augustus De Morgan was aged 43 in the year 1849AD. This is interesting because 43 squared is 1849, ie, in 1849 his age was the square root of the year. Given that no person has ever lived longer than 123 years (and assuming that no one ever will), write a Java application that will determine if it is possible that anyone who is alive today is, has ever been, or will ever be alive in a year that is the square of their age. If it is possible, your program should print out the years in which it happens and the ages that the people concerned will have in those years.


From the field, seed cotton moves to nearby gins for separation of lint and seed. The cotton first goes through dryers to reduce moisture content and then through cleaning equipment to remove foreign matter. These operations facilitate processing and improve fiber quality. The cotton is then air conveyed to gin stands where revolving circular saws pull the lint through closely spaced ribs that prevent the seed from passing through. The lint is removed from the saw teeth by air blasts or rotating brushes, and then compressed into bales weighing approximately 500 pounds. Cotton is then moved to a warehouse for storage until it is shipped to a textile mill for use. A typical gin will process about 12 bales per hour, while some of today’s more modern gins may process as many as 60 bales an hour.

Gemini 3 (GT-3), launched on March 23, 1965, was the first Gemini manned flight crewed by Virgil "Gus" Grissom and John Young. It was also the final manned flight controlled from Cape Canaveral. The mission's primary goal was to test the new, maneuverable Gemini spacecraft. Although Gemini 3 was the first U.S. 2-crew manned spaceflight, it was not the first in the world; the Soviet sent a 3-crew team into space on Voskhod 1 mission in late 1964. Gemini 3 "Orbit Covers" cancelled on launch day at Cape Canaveral, signed by Gus Grissom and John Young.

This is not a rainbow. It's a moonbow, an extremely rare atmospheric phenomenon caused by the near-full moon that it's extremely hard to catch. So hard, in fact, that you can only see its colors thanks to long-exposure photography. It was captured by Wally Pacholka last January 20, at the Haleakala Crater on the Island of Maui, Hawaii. The moonbow—or lunar rainbow—is caused when the near-full moon at less than 42 degrees in a dark sky. The colors are so faint that the human eye color receptors can't be excited enough for the brain to identify them. Therefore, they appear as white arcs to the naked eye. Only by using long-exposure photography you can reveal the diffraction of the moonlight through the microscopic water droplets suspended in the air. By the way, that red thing shining on the sky? It's Mars rising. Check out the rest of Wally's amazing images at [Astropics]

There is something we find beautiful about fractals, those curious geometric structures with repeating shapes that seem to go on for infinity (see video below). Perhaps it is because these mathematical oddities remind us of nature; river networks, ferns and Romanesco broccoli are all examples of natural fractals. The most famous fractal is probably the Mandelbrot set, named for Benoît Mandelbrot, the French-American mathematician who coined the term "fractal" in 1975. The Mandelbrot set is a 2-dimensional object created through a mathematical equation. Mathematicians had first pondered how to turn it into a 3-dimensional object, a "Mandelbulb," more than 20 years ago, but they didn't figure out how to do it until recently. The result is above. Quite pretty, don't you think? (Hat tip: Bad Astronomy)


A welding line is the line created when two flow fronts meet. The fronts don’t weld or knit themselves together properly, which causes locally weak areas in the product. A welding line occurs when the mold or material temperatures are set too low, so that the materials are too cold when they meet to bond perfectly. Another way welding lines form is when oxide forms on the corner of the weld preparation. If the welding arc can’t reach the area to clean the oxide, the welding line appears. Prevention is best; if welding lines can be prevented, then they don’t need to be removed. However, if a welding line is causing a weak area, a deburring robot can come to the rescue!


Smithsonian Magazine reports that studies show that sarcasm enhances problem solving. An inability to understand it can be an early warning sign of brain disease, which could explain why some have trouble understanding this blog: “Our culture in particular is permeated with sarcasm,” says Katherine Rankin, a neuropsychologist at the University of California at San Francisco. “People who don’t understand sarcasm are immediately noticed. They’re not getting it. They’re not socially adept.” Sarcasm seems to exercise the brain more than sincere statements do. Scientists who have monitored the electrical activity of the brains of test subjects exposed to sarcastic statements have found that brains have to work harder to understand sarcasm.That extra work may make our brains sharper, according to another study. Maybe this could also explain the Pensacola City Council’s problems.

The long-term physical and behavioral impact of childhood abuse and neglect is something that has been a Pro-ACT discussion point for many years. Unfortunately, the issue is no less relevant now that it was in 1995 when the CDC and Kaiser Permanente began the ACES study, an investigation of the influence of childhood abuse and neglect on adult well-being. With over 17,000 participants, this study continues today to provide insight on the physical and emotional impact of childhood trauma. As care provider, whether working with children or adults, understanding this complex problem is a step towards change. For complete information see the Aces Study.

Geologists have long puzzled over anecdotal reports of strange atmospheric phenomena in the days before big earthquakes. But good data to back up these stories has been hard to come by. In recent years, however, various teams have set up atmospheric monitoring stations in earthquake zones and a number of satellites are capable of sending back data about the state of the upper atmosphere and the ionosphere during an earthquake. Last year, we looked at some fascinating data from the DEMETER spacecraft showing a significant increase in ultra-low frequency radio signals before the magnitude 7 Haiti earthquake in January 2010 Read the rest of the story: Best of 2011: Atmosphere Above Japan Heated Rapidly Before M9 Earthquake.


A team of University of Wollongong researchers say recycled tyres may be the solution to delivering high-speed rail and more efficient freight services in Australia. The Centre for Geomechanics and Railway Engineering is developing rubber shock mats to absorb energy from track movement. Professor Buddhima Indraratna said our country has one of the longest rail track networks in the world but we also have poor soil conditions, particularly along the east coast. “The weight of train traffic will eventually cause the track to sink and buckle in places, leading to unusable track that is costly to repair or increase the risk of derailments,” he said. The cost effective mats are made of chopped up tyres and bonded together. They can be placed under the track’s rock foundation or beneath the sleepers to absorb the energy from trains.

It is during the new-math era, for example, that calculus was introduced as a high school subject, albeit only for a select group of students. Ironically, a curricular reform designed to introduce new rigor and bring higher-order subjects lego racers 1 full game more racets in secondary school appears to have resulted in a strong movement away from math at the collegiate level. Given that the substitution of rigor for practicality appears to have turned students off to math, it childrens book prints to reason that substitution in the reverse direction would undo the effect. And indeed, the wane of the new-math movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s might explain the resurgence of interest in math-intensive majors, the only such episode observed over a period of 75 years, among those graduating from college in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The resurgence was short-lived.


Negro Building: Black Americans in the World of Fairs and Museums Mabel O. Wilson University of California Press, 2012 Focusing on black Americans’ participation in world’s fairs, Emancipation expositions, and early black grassroots museums, Negro Building traces the evolution of black public history from the Civil War through the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Mabel O. Wilson gives voice to the figures that conceived the curatorial content — Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells, A. Philip Randolph, Horace Cayton and Margaret Burroughs. As the 2015 opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., approaches, the book reveals why the black cities of Chicago and Detroit became the sites of major black historical museums rather than the nation’s capital — until now.


There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Home Premium, although most new Desktop PCs will probably have the 64-bit version installed. 32-bit programs should run without problems in 64-bit Windows, but peripherals such as printers, scanners etc will require the 64-bit drivers. A router is a device that allows multiple computers to access the internet simultaneously. However, as versions of Windows after XP (i.e. Vista and 7) don't generally have suitable drivers for USB ADSL Modems, ISPs moved over to providing combined modem/routers for internet access even for a single PC. With a modem/router, it is that which connects to the internet, not the PC which gets its internet access over the network by connecting to the router by ethernet cable or "wirelessly".


Internet is a wide-open world that offers so many resources for information and communication. The underlying technologies are so simple that allow anyone to access the internet including many adults and young people. However, it is not always a successful, enjoyable, and pleasant experience as millions of internet users actually face the cyber bullying problem. Nansel et al. (2001: 2094) define bullying as being “a specific type of aggression in which - the behaviour is intended to harm or disturb, - the behaviour occurs repeatedly over time, and - there is an imbalance of power, with a more powerful person or group attacking a less powerful one. This asymmetry of power may be physical or psychological, and the aggressive behaviour may be verbal (eg, name-calling, threats),

The research, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, is based on an analysis of 50,000 men and women. Researchers used bone-density tests, which show the amount of fat an individual carries. he academics found those with the lowest BMI had a higher risk of dying early than those with an average BMI, probably because of pre-existing illness or malnutrition. Those with high body fat scores also had a high risk of dying early, no matter what their BMI. Dr William Leslie, from the University of Manitoba in Canada, told the Daily Mail: “The simple messaging that we’re all too fat and should be thinner is based on BMI.


The economic warfare between Great Britain and the colonists began well before the colonies declared their Independence in 1776. Regulations from the crown were met with fierce opposition from the colonists. After lobbies and petitions proved ineffective,the colonists turned to boycotting imported English goods. Boycotting proved to be successful in crippling British trade. After a second boycott in 1768 parliament Townshend duties except for the tax on tea. The colonists persisted and the American boycott on tea ultimately culminated in the Boston Tea party of 1773.


i’m personally always on the lookout for articles to help me when writing, and here’s one all about creating characters which I find especially useful. Types of Characters In Fiction To promote fair use of the material, I’m posting a link only. Characters are important to books. What is a character? I feel it’s a good starting point to define that. “A character is any person, animal, or figure represented in a literary work. Main characters have the greatest effect on the plot or are the most affected by the events of the story. Types of characters include protagonists, antagonists, dynamic, static, round, flat and stock.” (Character- Wikipedia). Characterisation, then, is the creation of a character (also called character “building.”

The Building of the Cathedral The Norse Cathedral The Usage of the Cathedral in History The Usage of the Cathedral Today The Art of the Cathedral Behind the Scenes in the Cathedral Famous Orcadians & Others With Links Blind arcadings - SMC056 An arcade is a series of connected archways which are carried on either columns or piers. A blind arcade, sometimes called a wall arcade, is a set of connected archways set into a wall. In St Magnus Cathedral blind arcading can be found on both sides of the nave and in both transepts and is clearly Romanesque in style. As the arcading travels no further than the fifth bay of the nave this can be seen as the extent of the first building campaign. Wall arcading was used as an ornamental feature to vary plain areas of masonry and also as a method to decrease the weight of a wall.


So you have seen the Canadian Heritage Moment ads on TV and you too realize that there are many other stories to be told. Like that the some of the most prominent suffragettes were eager eugenics supporters, or that the ‘Canadian’ state took it upon itself to rename and settle every Inuk they could find along their imperialist expansion into the Artic. This territory has many other stories to be remembered, recounted and represented. Stories can shape our perceptions and in turn our actions. They can inspire us and guide us as they broaden our imagination of the world that is possible and help us to realize that our struggles are not new or isolated but have both historical roots and contemporary links. This project is a space for such moments, a space for other non-dominant narratives and sections of facts. There are others stories to be told tell them.

Download as ZIP file Do we need any smoke control in staircases? Safe lives by Smoke and Heat Exhaust Vent systems (PresseBox) (Passau, ) The people were not able to escape because of the smoke in the staircase during the fire happened last week in a house in Munich. It was the result of a very professional work of the fire brigade in Munich that no more people than the two was injured or killed by the effects of this fire. This is reason enough to hold the requirements in our building laws up for a smoke release system in staircases. And also the maintenance of these systems should be demanded to ensure smoke fire escape routes for people getting in contact with fire in houses. Only in this way we can avoid bigger damages during the 250.000 fires we have yearly in Germany.

The inertial guidance system was a technological component of a starship that measured the distance traveled and automatically adjusted the course of a ship. When the system malfunctioned, the course adjustments were done manually. Aboard Galaxy-class starships, information from this component could be downloaded to and accessed from the operations station on the bridge. This information could be later confirmed on the Conn console. In early 2365, while the USS Enterprise-D was attempting to leave the void in the Morgana Quadrant for the Cornelian system, Lieutenant Commander Data reported that the inertial guidance system showed that seven parsecs had been traveled. Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher confirmed what Data had reported. (TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease")


It may be a small comfort to those planning their one-way trip to Mars to know that Earth and our moon are visible from the foreign planet. The Curiosity rover has sent home the view of Earth over the Mars skyline. While they do just look like stars in the sky, our home planet and moon are the brightest lights in the sky seen from Mars. With 99 million miles separating Mars from Earth, the lights look like just specks in the sky, serving as a reminder of how far that distance is. Though those who take the one-way trip won’t home back to live on Earth, they will be able to get glimpses of their home planet over the Martian horizon.

What is a priority species? A priority species is one that is particularly threatened in terms of the species' long-term survival. All priority species have been selected through rigorous scientific analysis, and most represent a broad array of other birds and wildlife that use the same habitat type. Conservation focused on priority species is almost always focused on priority habitats as well. Audubon has identified 32 priority-bird species within the Atlantic Flyway, 6 of which call Pickering Creek home for a portion of the year. Little Blue Heron

- A process for rearranging the clusters on a disk for each file so that they are adjacent rather than scattered all over the disk. Files with adjacent clusters are quicker to read (because this minimises any required movement of the disk heads), than if the clusters are scattered all over the disk (because that requires frequent movement of the disk read heads). For this reason a computer with a defragemented disk (i.e. with all its files defragmented) will run faster than if it had a heavily fragemented disk - but only for disk related operations.

Model – Theater is a three dimensional art. Make a study model. Just for you. Build it out of dirty cardboard and used tape. The messier and more ripped it gets, the more useful. Later you’ll build the clean white (or colored) model to be used by the director in blocking and by the TD, carpenters, and painters as a guide to construction. Do be sure that if a window, for instance, will be seen through, that you build it see-through to check sight lines. Practical pointers. Measure twice - cut once. Use a metal straightedge to cut against. If it lacks non-skid backing, add masking tape underneath. (Never cut along drafting tools as lines drawn later show every notch you cut!) Use sharp new blades. Remember Alice’s caution: “if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds.” Wash hands. Wipe off excess glue.


Last year, I had my 6th graders make sunset silhouette pictures with a watercolor background, and Sharpie marker (fine and ultra fine tip) for the silhouettes. The students did a nice job drawing their silhouettes, but many of them got lazy with filling them in with markers. It is fairly tedious to color a large area in neatly with a marker. This year, I tried a similar project with my 4th graders, but after we drew the outlines of the silhouettes with Sharpies, I had them paint in the shapes with tempera. I told them that anything small could be filled in with marker, but to do the larger objects with paint. This gave much better results over all! Below are a few examples of 4th grade art.


Abnormally shaped teeth impinge on the appearance of the face. What leads to their distortion and how to prevent it? Dentists in Poland say these deformities may appear as a result of the biological background – a negative growth pattern, diseases, hormonal disorders, and even as a result of taking drugs. Other reasons include improper putting to sleep and feeding during infancy. Also, abnormal swallowing or chewing food, thumb sucking, teeth grinding, speech defects and body posture can lead to distortions. If you suffer from any kind of deformity – don’t worry and make an appointments with your dentist – there are many solutions, such as veneers, dental crowns in Poland or implants.


Fencing Sheep An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are shown a pasture with a herd of sheep, and told to put them inside the smallest possible amount of fence. The engineer is first. He herds the sheep into a circle and then puts the fence around them, declaring, "A circle will use the least fence for a given area, so this is the best solution." The physicist is next. She creates a circular fence of infinite radius around the sheep, and then draws the fence tight around the herd, declaring, "This will give the smallest circular fence around the herd." The mathematician is last. After giving the problem a little thought, he puts a small fence around himself and then declares, "I define myself to be on the outside!"

The Molly Maguire Strike - 1873 - The Molly Maguires were a group of Irish immigrants (miners) who formed a secret association to fight for better pay and working conditions in the mines of North-Eastern Pennsylvania. - When the miner's pay was cut, it set off a strike. Railroad cars were derailed, coal tips set on fire and a superindendent murdered. - Pinkerton law enforcement infiltrated the organisation and 19 men were arrested, convicted and hanged. - This showed that law enforcement and the Criminal Justice System still favoured the side of the businesses. 1 of 1


The cultivar blueberry «Sunrise» is known since 1991. Bush height is 1.2–1.8 meters. Shoots poorly formed, this ensures good illumination of the inner part of the crown Bush. The cultivar «Sunrise» is not required for regular cutting. Berries ripen from the middle of July. Harvest is 3-4 kilograms from a bush. Berries are large (17-20 mm. in diameter) and they are very tasty. The berries are of light blue. Berries are recommended for fresh eating. Harvesting of the cultivar «Sunrise» blueberry is carried out in three steps. The lack of cultivar «Sunrise» is a low resistance to spring frosts.

Scientific opinions vary regarding risks associated with radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure from cell phone use. While some studies have shown a correlation between the occurrence of certain adverse health effects and long-term use, a definitive cause and effect relationship has not been established. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted exposure limits to RF energy with which all cell phones legally sold in the United States must comply. These limits are expressed in Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body while using a mobile phone. For more information, please visit the FCC Wireless Phone FAQs and the FCC Wireless Devices Health Concerns Consumer Facts web page.

The Ontario dairy industry has developed a provincial plan to help producers deal with Johne’s infection in their dairy cattle. The four-year program began in January 2010. The program has four elements: education, Animal Health Risk Assessment and Management Plan (RAMP), testing, and removal of high titre Johne’s cows. The program offers each producer a financial incentive to test all lactating cows once during the four years of the program. Producers will be required to do the RAMP with their trained herd veterinarian each year and remove high titer cows within 90 days of test day.


We will show numbers in different ways. I can explain what a numeral and a number is. (Numeral: a written symbol that expresses value) (Number: a value shown with a symbols, objects or words) I understand that the symbol and word for one means 1 object when I count things. (one to one correspondence) I can use numerals, pictures and objects to show numbers up to 20. I can read and write number words up to ten. I can use numbers to show how many or how much. Our Learning Goals are Expectations from the Ontario Math Curriculum for Grade 1. Our success criteria are those things that we need to do to achieve our goal. The curriculum expectations should be met by the end of Grade 1. The reading and the writing of the number words may take longer than the other success criteria!


Recovery of Gold from Arsenopyrite Concentrates by Cyanidation- carbon Adsorption. Heinen-HJ; McClelland-GE; Lindstrom-RE The Bureau of Mines investigated a cyanidation-carbon adsorption technique for extracting gold from arsenopyrite concentrates. Agitation leach experiments were conducted on 85-pct minus 35-mesh gravity concentrates containing 21.8 Oz gold and 6.4 Oz silver per ton. Results obtained in leaching the concentrates showed that 96.9 pct gold and 90.7 pct silver extraction could be achieved in 96 hours of agitation. Gold and silver were recovered from the resulting pregnant solution by exposure to granular activated carbon in a countercurrent system. Carbon loadings of 2,556 oz of gold and 502 oz of silver per ton were achieved. These loadings are significantly higher than heretofore thought practical. IH; Report of Investigation;

(USATODAY) — Warning: This story may make you yawn. That’s because yawning is so highly contagious that even reading about it, much less seeing or hearing someone yawn, is enough to get many people going. Why? Contrary to popular theory and a number of studies, it may not be all about empathy – the capacity to share the emotions and experiences of others, a new study suggests. “Empathy does play a role, but it’s just not the huge role people were thinking,” says study author Elizabeth Cirulli, an assistant professor of medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. The study, among the biggest ever to examine this little quirk, was published online Friday by PLOS ONE.


Improving the Water Outlook in the Himalayas Andrew Robertson, a climate scientist at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society, discusses his research on helping reservoir managers in northern India make better planning decisions by improving their ability to predict how climate change will influence water availability. In order to do this, Robertson worked with colleagues at the Columbia Water Center and the Tree Ring Laboratory. The team reconstructed 500 years of past streamflow from tree-ring records collected in Pakistan and then combined this data with weather and seasonal forecasts to generate preliminary water scenarios for the region going out ten years. Watch the interview below, and view the full poster.


Sharpe ratio(redirected from Sharpe ratios) Using the Sharpe ratio is one way to compare the relationship of risk and reward in following different investment strategies, such as emphasizing growth or value investments, or in holding different combinations of investments. To figure the ratio, the risk-free return is subtracted from the average return of an investment portfolio over a period of time, and the result is divided by the standard deviation of the return. A strategy with a higher ratio is less risky than one with a lower ratio. This type of analysis, which is done using sophisticated computer programs, is named for William P. Sharpe, who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1990.


Duration: 17:32 min Summary: In this lesson, we will discuss the range slider. This is similar to the slider that we have recently discussed. However, and as the name implies, the range slider has a range of values to work with. You can specify the min and max values, the orientation (vertical or horizontal), as well as the small and large steps. But you can also specify the selectionStart and selectionEnd. Besides the properties, there are events that we can handle. For example, we will handle the change and slide events. We will also log the values to the console. But since the range is by default separated with a comma (example [5,10]), we will replace the comma with a '-' as in [5-10].

So-called non-Newtonian fluids are the stars of high school science demonstrations. In one example, an ooey-gooey batter made from corn starch and water oozes like a liquid when moved slowly. But punch it, or run across a giant puddle of it, and it becomes stiff like a solid. Pour it on top of a speaker cone, and the vibrations cause the fluid to stiffen and form strange tendril-like shapes. Now, a group of college students has figured out a new use for the strange stuff: filler for potholes.


Created by Borders FEI | Published 01.21.15 Although the work book was created to support the ‘Glenkinnon Burn Biodiversity Trail’ the curriculum support activities at section 3 (pages 22 to 65) can be used as a stand alone resource exploring ‘How a Woodland Works’ and includes topics with worksheets from tree classification through woodland structure, light and shade, seed and seed distribution to invertebrate and vertebrate studies. Section 4 continues with keys covering freshwater and land invertebrates, small animals in streams and pitfall traps, woodland and water birds and tree identification. The biodiversity trail is located near the small village of Caddonfoot approximately 1.5 miles from Clovenfords in the Tweed Valley. (Grid reference -NT 428341.)

With the wind, rain and number of frosts increasing any remaining leaves are now falling rapidly, so a final few weeks’ effort raking them up is required. Tender plants must be protected from the adverse weather by either moving them or wrapping them with some insulating material in some way. Wildlife will be preparing for Winter and you can help by stocking up with bird food to be used as and when necessary - Continue raking up the fallen leaves, resulting in lawns, ponds and beds being as clear as possible. - Reposition containers to minimise the potential for water logging. - Plant tulip bulbs. - Prune roses. - Plant out winter bedding plants in order to provide some colour during the dark months of Winter. - Net brassica plants to prevent pigeon damage. - Insulate outdoor containers, possibly using bubble wrap, to prevent frost damage. - Start feeding the birds on a regular basis.


Coupling misalignment is a condition where the shaft of the driver machine and the driven machine are not on the same centerline. The non-coaxial condition can be parallel misalignment or angular misalignment. The more common condition is a combination of the two in both the horizontal and vertical direction. We are forced into this situation of coupling alignment because equipment from different suppliers must be mated together. Misalignment is temperature dependent. All materials expand with increasing temperature, and metal is no exception. Motors warm up several degrees, and the driven machine may warm up or cool down from ambient depending on the fluid it is handling. This experiment teaches how parallel misalignment in a system is monitored based on vibration.

Anant Basudev Temple, Hooghly, West bengal Raja Rameswar Roy built this Vishnu Temple in 1679. He received this piece of land, 401 acres fro Aurangazeb as gift. The temple architecture style is the char chala ek ratna style of Bengal architecture. With passage of time the place and temple lost its significance. Rameshwar Roy’s grandson believed more in Tantrik (occult) powers and he built The Hangseswari temple just beside this Basudev Temple in 1799. More about that temple in my next post. The terracotta wall motifs depict tales from Mahabharata, Krishnaleela and Ramayana. The art work exist in reasonably good form even today, but I did see some graffiti work on the wall of the temple there.


war of the oscines The War of the Oscines uses songbirds and other fauna as metaphors for Nature in conflict with human industrial residue, and political language to explore the cost of mass production on the natural world. 'Oscines' is Latin for the suborder of songbirds and originally means, ’to give omens by its cry'. Mixed media. Photography, charcoal, relief ink and woodblock prints on cotton rag, mulberry paper and museum board.


Firing of the green ceramic shell is necessary to address the hydroscopic moisture associated with the ceramic. This is the dot H2O water which must be driven off to thermally stabilize the ceramic. Calcining of limestone to lime is a good example of what is involved. The shells are typically fired at 1800F for a minimum of one hour. Also typically, the hot shells are removed from the firing furnace and metal is poured into them while still hot. This can vary depending on the exact selection of the ceramic materials. Fused silica ceramics will transform to a crystalline silica upon cooling and lose the needed expansion characteristics while aluminas can be cooled to room temperature and re-heated for pouring if desired. The firing step will also burn any remaining wax trapped in corners or such of the shell.

World's Second Most Popular Sport Cricket is a locally popular recognized sport in Special Olympics. The first international Special Olympics cricket tournament was hosted in India in 2006. There are over 81,000 Special Olympics athletes participating in Cricket. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on an oval-shaped field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team.


A farmer has a supply of chemical fertilizer of type A which contains 10% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid, and type B which contains 6% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions of the field, it was found that atleast 14 kg of nitrogen and 14 kg of phosphoric acid is required for producing a good crop. The fertilizer of type A costs Rs.5 per kg and the type B costs Rs.3 per kg. How many kg of each type of the fertilizer should be used to meet the requirement at the minimum possible cost? Using L.P.P. solve the above problem graphically.


If you search the web, read published genealogies or the official biography of President Herbert Hoover, everywhere you’ll find that his ancestor was from Ellerstadt, Palatinate, Germany. But did you know that he was initially identified as the Andreas Huber from Trippstadt, Palatinate, Germany? Or that he might actually be from Ittlingen, landkreis Heilbronn, Baden, Germany? In this article, I’ll examine the past and present thought on this Andreas Huber’s German origins and the impact it has on identifying the origins of my ancestor Andreas Huber. A list of Huber immigrants to Pennsylvania between 1728 and 1768 taken from the Pennsylvania Archives, Series II, Volume XVII, “Names of Foreigners who took the Oath of Allegiance, 1727-1775.”


The U.S. Bureau of Mines is conducting research on a computer- assisted mining machine. Such a machine holds great promise for increased productivity and improved health and safety in the working section. A key element of such a machine is a coal interface detection (cid) system that can distinguish coal from noncoal material, no matter how complex the geology. Although much research has been done in the past by others in this area, there is still no general solution to the problem. Present Bureau cid research is focused on adaptive signal discrimination methods for analyzing the vibration of the mining machine, advanced infrared thermography, modern video systems, natural gamma emissions, advanced radar methods, and geological conditions. It appears that a suite of sensors with associated data analysis may result in a practical system.

Friday, June 11, 2010 June 11, 2010 : Horseshoe Crab Limulus polyphemus, known as the horseshoe crab or Atlantic horseshoe crab, is a marinecheliceratearthropod. Despite its name, it is more closely related to spiders, ticks, and scorpions than to crabs. Horseshoe crabs are most commonly found in the Gulf of Mexico and along the northern Atlantic coast of North America. A main area of annual migration is Delaware Bay, although stray individuals are occasionally found in Europe. The other three species in the family Limulidae are also called horseshoe crabs. The Japanese horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus) is found in the Seto Inland Sea, and is considered an endangered species because of loss of habitat. Two other species occur along the east coast of India: Tachypleus gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda. All four are quite similar in form and behavior.


We used 3,670 reciveries from 32,647 bandings of mallards in southwestern Saskatchewan during 1956-59 to estimate the probability of surviving from the local, flightless stage to the flighted, immature stage. The probability of surviving from the local to the immature stage was 0.84 +/- 0.05 (SE) for males and females. The geographic distribution of direct recoveries was similar for the birds banded as local and immature. Probabilities of surivival for banded mallards can only be estimated from late summer to late summer. The estimate of survival from local to immature stage fills a gap in our knowledge of mallard mortality from female-brood breakup to the time of banding in late summer. Additional publication details Mallard survival from local to immature stage in southwestern Saskatchewan


The following questions were developed by Dr. Jerry Ward for the short story Down by the Riverside by Richard Wright. ~ Maggie 1. What is the moral conundrum in this story? 2. Does the story seem to have unusual significance if we compare reactions to the Mississippi River flood of 1927 with those evidenced in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the breaking of the levees in New Orleans in 2005? 3. Why are the military officials so insensitive to Mann's grief over the death of his wife? Why is Mann addressed as “boy”? 4. Why does Mann rescue Mrs. Heartfield and her two children when he knows they will identify him as the person who murdered Mr. Heartfield? 5. Why does Mann decide to die before the agents of justice can kill him? What is the significant difference between his decision and the one Silas makes in Long Black Song?

7. The Archive Room The Archives room could be called the records room. It is where all the newspapers, books, manuscripts, photographs and special (paper) collections are kept. It is here that all of the paper records and also the objects (artifacts) are catalogued (indexed) in a special computer program so that information can be found when it is requested. Archives work is done throughout the year by volunteers. In the summer, when the museum is open, this work is also done by students who are trained for the work. The students also greet visitors, do tours and sell some souvenirs.


Part the First of the General Survey of England and Wales Whilst Kent had been surveyed first, it was engraved and published by Faden. Essex was the second surveyed and the first county to be engraved and published by The Surveyors of His Majesty's Ordnance, which from 1810 stated calling itself The Ordnance Survey on maps. The county was covered in four sheets, numbers 47 (north west), 48 (NE), 1 (SW) and 2 (SE). These were sold separately, and as a single very large "county set". It appears that whilst the military were the driving force in getting the surveying done and the sheets published, there was some idea that the public would want a "County Set" for each county, as that is how maps had been sold up to that time. These died out after a couple more counties were published.


Body's Response to Stress Stress- the subjective experience of a lack of fit between a person and their environment. Acute stress: The Sympathomedullary Pathway The Sympathomedullary pathway is the influence of the SNS and adrenal medulla prepares the body for flight or fight when faced with an acute stressor. Acute stressors arouse the autonomic (automatic) nervous system(ANS). The ANS is a necessary system as some bodily functions such as the heart beat would work very well if we had to think about them. The ANS is divided into the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic branch. SNS arouses an animal to be ready for flight or fight, the parasympathetic branch…


What is the significance of the toad in Tuck Everlasting? The toad in Tuck Everlasting symbolizes Winnie's unreadiness to grow up, including her hesitance about becoming immortal. Winnie chooses to confide in the toad when she is feeling lonely as there is no one else to talk to. However, she betrays her friendship with the toad when she uses the vial of magic spring water on the toad, rather than herself. The toad also represents Winnie's fear of humans becoming immortal and by giving the spring water to the toad, projects that humans are not ready for such responsibilities that may come with becoming immortal.

The beauty of teaching children how to let go at an early age is that they might not get so stuck in a rut later in life. It will also help them to have greater balance when it comes to choosing friends, and making choices while among friends. This is something they will not learn in school, but only through stories and activities. Cokoa’s Journey is a children’s book about letting go. It is written as a parable. Cokoa, a poodle, learns with his friends the seven secrets for letting go of stuff on purpose. Click on the picture of the baby on the toilet to learn how you can make a difference.


Most fresh-water slugs are edible if they are thoroughly cooked to kill any parasites and bacteria they may carry, some of which are extremely harmful to humans. Slugs also feed on poisonous mushrooms and should be fed lettuce, bran or meal for a week to detoxify before being consumed.Continue Reading When collecting slugs, wear gloves to prevent direct skin contact, and wash hands thoroughly afterward to avoid contracting parasites and disease. Some members of the slug family are considered fine-tasting delicacies, such as certain snails. Others reportedly taste bad, or have very little flavor, no matter how they are prepared. Before cooking slugs, remember to immerse them in equal parts water and vinegar until they are dead and their mucus has been released.Learn more about Slugs & Snails

With Russian neurophysiologist Vladimir Bekhterev (1857-1927), the eponymous Mendel-Bekhterev reflex is named, which is flexion of the toes caused by percussion of the upper surface of the foot, a sign of lesions of the pyramidal tract. Mendel was a critic of Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). He mentioned that Freud's psychoanalytical teachings offered a valuable perspective, however he believed that they contained excessive exaggeration and fantasy. He was also repulsed by some aspects of Freud's views on sexuality. Mendel was an outspoken opponent of Hermann Oppenheim (1858-1919), regarding the latter's theory of psychic changes perpetrated by organic disturbances within the brain due to psychological trauma. |This article about a German person in the field of medicine is a stub.

This is a reissue of Professor Batchelor's text on the theory of turbulent motion, which was first published by Cambridge Unviersity Press in 1953. It continues to be widely referred to in the professional literature of fluid mechanics, but has not been available for several years. This classic account includes an introduction to the study of homogeneous turbulence, including its mathematic representation and kinematics. Linear problems, such as the randomly-perturbed harmonic oscillator and turbulent flow through a wire gauze, are then treated. The author also presents the general dynamics of decay, universal equilibrium theory, and the decay of energy-containing eddies. There is a renewed interest in turbulent motion, which finds applications in atmospheric physics, fluid mechanics, astrophysics, and planetary science.

This chambered long cairn stands on a low rocky knoll in what was a forestry commission plantation, although the trees have been recently cleared. Although almost all the cairn material has been robbed away, it is thought that the cairn would have originally been about one hundred feet long running northeast-southwest with a chamber at each end. The two chambers were excavated between 1963 and 1965, before the forest was planted. Three megaliths of the southwest chamber remain, indicating that the chamber was about 14 feet long. The side slabs of the northeast chamber remain, and that would have been about 17 feet by 3 feet in floor area. Both chambers were divided into an inner and outer portion. The rim of a neolithic pot and some other small finds were discovered in the northeastern chamber, and part of a flint knife was found in the southwestern chamber.


“Including” young children with emotional and behavioral disabilities affects the learning and behavior of their non-disabled classmates, researchers conclude. Other students “had more absences, lower math and reading scores in kindergarten and 1st grade, and were more likely to act out in the classroom or struggle with social skills,” reports Ed Week.It doesn't take a tremendous leap of faith to extend these findings to high school, either.

One of the principal methods for alkene synthesis in the laboratory is the elimination of alkyl halides, alcohols and similar compounds. When an alkyl halide is used, the reaction is called a dehydrohalogenation. Alkenes can be synthesized from alcohols via dehydration, in which case water is lost. For example, the dehydration of ethanol produces ethene: C2H5OH --> C2H4 + H2O

During World War I the American Library Association undertook a massive campaign to get reading material in the hands of our soldiers. One of their initiatives to bolster Army libraries was to set-up camp outside the New York Public Library. These images portray the campaign’s efforts and astounding success. The history of these efforts is covered in-depth in the seminal work by Theodore Wesley Koch; Books in the War: The Romance of the Library War Service that was published in 1919 by Houghton Mifflin. In the upper-left corner of the first image above you can see part of the same image used for the cover illustration of Books in War. It is the iconic Books Wanted for our Men in Camp and “Over There”, poster by Charles Buckles Falls, 1918. h\t to Retronaut for gathering most of these amazing images for their post: Call for book donations, New York Public Library, c.1918 |

Aquaponics is a method of growing vegetables and rearing fishes together in a recirculating system. In conventional fish farms, ammonia excretions from fishes that are being raised can accumulate in the water that increases the toxicity. The cycle starts with fishes excreting waste, which is broken down into ammonia and releases into the water. High level of ammonia (NH3) is harmful to the fishes. The filter filters out the solid waste and provides a medium for bacteria cultivation.The bacteria converts ammonia to nitrates. Nitrates-rich water is supplied to the plants which are grown hydroponically in trays and ensures healthy growth of the plants. Clean water is then recirculated back into the fish tank via the bell siphon and the cycle repeats.


| Pesticides can be found at microgram levels in ground water or surface water. They usually come from intensive agricultural activities. | The most common pesticides found in water are Atrazine, DDT, lindane, Carbofuran, etc... In case of large amounts or large plant capacities, nanofiltration can be a better adapted technology, avoiding hassle of media replacement. Lenntech can provide tailor made skid mounted or turnkey pesticide removal plant. Pesticides in drinking water guidelines:


Scope, in reference to horses, can mean three very different things. In horse racing, scope is a term used to describe a horse's potential to improve with age. This usage is common in both the UK and international English.Continue Reading Scope is also used, by way of shortening, to refer to a medical procedure that checks a race horse's airways before a competition. The tool used to examine a horse is called an endoscope, hence the term "scope." The third definition of scope is found within American jump racing and Australian English. Scope here refers to a horse's ability to leap and clear large obstacles, as in a steeplechase or when jumping for show.Learn more about Barnyard Mammals


So how come the same definition of 'good handwriting' doesn't extend to the computer lab as well? Here's an example :- enter the no5 the square is25 Enter a number :- 5 The square of 5 is 25. Now, obviously, the second program's output looks better. So why does the person who wrote the first program get the same marks as the guy who wrote the second? Why not give more marks because it 'looks nicer'? Never happened to me even once. Even though my programs usually 'look nicer', and my VB forms are all aligned properly. Knock knock. Hello. Computer teachers. How about trying to acquire some 'computer' aesthetics?

Sometimes in writing poetry, saying something succinctly, can add to the expression. This might work well for topics that are slightly heavier in tone. For example, if a poet wanted to write about something significant, like a tornado, sometimes a succinct poem can add increased significance to the tone of the poem. For this poetry form, the form is one line that contains fifteen or less words. The idea, is that using one line with limited words to express something, like a tornado, is a much different expression, than using, for example, twenty lines. The poem will sound different. The idea is that having only one line, only one short way to express something, could, hopefully, add significance to the tone of the expression.

The Fundamental Theorem is "fundamental" because it links the two distinct branches of calculus, derivatives and integrals. As you can see above, it is split into two parts. Here's what I mean by "take it-stick it-D it". Look at this example, first: -- | f(t) dt Taking-sticking-D-ing is a phrase that was "patented" by my high school math teacher, Mr. Noeth. In this example, t is the variable of integration. To T-S-D, you take that end limit ("take it"), replace the variable of integration with it ("stick it"), and take the derivative WRT x of it ("D it"). So you have: f(u(x)) * -- Note that you can use any variables, not just x and t.


FiReaNGeL writes: "University of Delaware researchers have developed an inexpensive, nonchlorine-based technology that can remove harmful microorganisms, including viruses, from drinking water. The new technology could dramatically improve the safety of drinking water around the globe, particularly in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over a billion people — one-sixth of the world's population — lack access to safe water supplies. Four billion cases of diarrheal disease occur worldwide every year, resulting in 1.8 million deaths, primarily infants and children in developing countries. Eighty-eight percent of this disease is attributed to unsafe water supplies, inadequate sanitation and hygiene."

Have Some Fun with Your Food OK, it’s obviously not a burger and fries, but who wouldn’t smile at this great presentation? The US government recommends several servings of fruit a day, and what they mean by that is whole fruit (OK, or sliced — but not processed). Fruits contain sugars, and whole fruits also contain dietary fiber. Fiber helps keep the gut healthy — and it slows digestion, helping to keep you feeling fuller for longer. This is why whole fruits are always a better choice than juices — juices strip out the fiber that is a big part of the whole point of eating fruit in the first place!


Matt Skinner, professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary, marvels at Acts 2 and how Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost describes a church of prophets -- a church made up of believers whose job it is to interpret how God is at work in the world and in one another's lives. Well, it depends on whose Bible you are talking about. If you are a mainline Protestant, that is, not Roman Catholic, your Bible is made up of two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is organized into four parts: the Pentateuch, the Historical Books, the Writings, and the Prophets. - The Pentateuch is the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. You may also hear it referred to as the Torah. - The Historical Books …

For transverse waves the motion is up and down while the wave moves forward. Example include water waves, electromagnetic waves, S-waves. In longitudinal (compressional) waves the motion is back and forth in the same direction the wave travels. Sound waves and P-waves are examples. The same equations and behavior applies to all types of waves.


Education used to be about transfer of information from teacher to student. Now there is too much information available in the world. Much of this information is being used by people trying to sell us something: an idea, a product, a political agenda, a way of seeing our entire country. New Hampton School's Junior Urban Adventure attempts to turn around this notion of one-way education in the same way that Web 2.0 is changing the way we think about the web. Students will learn to ask questions, make meaning from the glut of information available to them and engage, upload and maybe even start to solve some of the world's problems. Monday, October 8, 2007 A Powerful Video Thanks to a fellow teacher, I was able to watch (and be moved by) this video. It is called "Education 2.0." Here is what the author says:

A photon does not experience time since it moves at the speed of light. time stops for it . however we can continue to measure the time for which the photon moves from one point to another and are able to observe it move from one point to another. so how is it at the event horizon when something is being pulled at the speed of light into a black hole we cannot see it being pulled into the event horizon and passing the event horizon. the explanation that is given is that no amount of time can pass that will be enough for us to observe this. but just like the photon time has stopped for the one being pulled not the observer so shouldn’t we be able to observe the object move into the black hole ?

Voluminous intraplate volcanic areas such as the Deccan Trapps of India, the Columbia Plateau basalts, the Paraná Basin lavas, and the Siberian Trapps are called "flood basalt" provinces. there, lava flows comprising hundreds of thousands of cubic kilometers of magma erupted in a short time period and quickly covered tens of thousands of square kilometers. Individual, usually horizontal lava flows may reach up to fifty meter thickness. Volcanic hot-spot activity can often be related to flood basalt provinces. Those flood basalts are thought to have been generated by rapidly rising hot mantle plumes.
