Rutland is the smallest county in England, with dimensions of about fifteen miles from north to south and the same from east to west and a population of 19706 in 1901. Its borders are Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. Kelly, 1901, notes very good rail communications and a network of 300 miles of roads. With air described as 'healthy' , gentle hills and fertile soil, Rutland was essentially rural and the local directories record many people working on the land in dairy or arable farming and in the services which supported agriculture. It seems to have been known for barley, oats, sheep, turnips and Stilton cheese; and the remains of old forests were a source of timber. There were monthly cattle fairs in Oakham and fairs twice a year in Uppingham. the first attempt at content The Drill Hall Project - Charting a neglected legacy

Assam Accord: The Back Story NEW DELHI: August 15, 1985—a red-letter day for Assam. It marked the culmination of a six-year movement that aimed at flushing out illegal immigrants or ‘foreigners’. The movement was spearheaded by student activists but was backed by almost everyone—women, social bodies, even schoolchildren. It led to the signing of the Assam Accord. That ushered in a new era of regional political parties, not just in Assam but elsewhere in the North East. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale, who was then in Guwahati, working as a journalist, details how it all happened.


top of page Afician Swine Fever African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease in pigs. The infectious vector is the suspended particles of pig feces, urine or other secretions (tears, snot, etc.), or the pigs have eaten untreated meat from infected pigs, or are bitten by soft ticks with viruses, or contaminated through injection, or contact with contaminated tools, or being infected during the transportation process. The industry is very concerned about how to slow down the spread of African Swine Fever. The main features and impacts of ASF: • Fast spread • Symptoms are similar to ordinary fever, and it is difficult to diagnose. • Causing food shortages and severe economic losses bottom of page


An archipelago [ˌɑːkɪˈpɛləgəʊ] is a collection of islands within an ocean. Its boundaries can be seen by the longer routes that connect archipelagos together and by chart colors. Each archipelago is associated with a color. Charts to islands in that archipelago (intra-archipelago) are marked with its color, and inter-archipelago charts have the colors of the territories at each end. The articles on islands and archipelagos also have mini maps that show each route in a different color giving an indication on the difficulty of the route. Once an island has one or more functional buildings (construction sites or others), a ferry service is instated that allows transportation to the other islands within the archipelago with functional buildings. A separate Ultimate list is maintained for each archipelago.


Selenicereus chrysocardium also known as Fern Leaf (orchid) Cactus is a wild zig-zag leafed epiphytic cactus native to Mexico.

Reverse Polish Notation reverse polish syntax (Or "Reverse Polish Notation", RPN) One of the possible orderings of functions and operands: in postfix notation the functions are preceded by all their operands. For example, what may normally be written as "1+2" becomes "1 2 +". Postfix notation is well suited for stack based architectures but modern compilers reduced this advantage considerably. The best-known language with postfix syntax is FORTH. Some Hewlett-Packard calculators use it, e.g. HP-25, HP-29C, HP-41C, HP-23SII. Compare: infix notation, prefix notation.


In North America, safe vibration standards are based on scientific studies conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM). These studies recommend ground and air vibration limits based on scaled distance, peak particle velocity, air pressure and frequency. The purposes of these standards are to ensure that even cosmetic cracking will not occur in nearby structures. The standards are conservative meaning, even slightly exceeding these standards will not necessarily harm a structure. For ground vibrations, the standard is a function of frequency and peak particle velocity (ppv). Rhode Island regulations allow for 1.99 ppv at 10 hz or greater. For air vibrations, the standard is a function of pressure that is most often reported as decibels with a common limit of 133 decibels (db) with a 2Hz system.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Gregory (Popes)/Gregory V Jump to navigation Jump to search Gregory V. (Bruno), pope from 996 to 999, a great-grandson of the emperor Otto the Great, succeeded John XV. when only twenty-four years of age, and until the council of Pavia (997) had a rival in the person of the anti-pope John XVI., whom the people of Rome, in revolt against the will of the youthful emperor Otto III., had chosen after having expelled Gregory. The most memorable acts of his pontificate were those arising out of the contumacy of the French king, Robert, who was ultimately brought to submission by the rigorous infliction of a sentence of excommunication. Gregory died suddenly, and not without suspicion of foul play, on the 18th of February 999. His successor was Silvester II.

Career Pathways is a workforce development approach to building a knowledgeable workforce. Career pathways are comprehensive — articulating education and training steps between occupations in an industry sector, combined with support services, to enable individuals to enter and exit at various levels and to advance over time to higher skills, recognized credentials, and better jobs with higher pay. Each step on a career pathway is designed explicitly to prepare individuals to progress to the next level of employment and/or education. Individuals are aware of the pathway, connections are transparent, and next steps are clear to reach their career goals. Career pathways strategies target jobs in industries of importance to local and regional economies and build strong relationships with employers. Career pathways operate at two levels — systems and individual program levels.


2,000-Year-Old Butter Discovered In Ireland RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST: Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Twenty-two pounds of butter has been discovered in Ireland. Not any old butter, this butter is 2,000 years old. It was preserved in a bog, of course. Where else could something survive two millennia? Curators of the bog butter told The Irish Times that theoretically the stuff is edible. Now all they need to do is uncover some ancient jam, add some fresh bread, I insist, and, mhmm, nice breakfast.

The Graeco-Roman city of Paestum - for iPod/iPhoneThe Open University What can archaeological remains tell us about early cities and the people who lived in them? This album examines the important remains of one city, Poseidonia in Italy, founded towards the end of the 7th century BCE by colonists from the Greek city of Sybaris. Although only twenty-five per cent of the site has been excavated to date, much of its history and culture can be traced through its buildings, inscriptions, and decoration. After it became a colony of Rome in 273 BCE, it became known as Paestum, and Roman customs and styles superceded those of the Greeks in the city. This material forms part of The Open University course A219 Exploring the classical world.


The Santa Cruz River Basin flows north from northern Sonora Mexico through southwestern Arizona to just south of the Gila River. The Santa Cruz river had historically perennial reaches, until drought and overuse caused it to dry up in the early 20th century. The Santa Cruz now has perennial flow again thanks to treated wastewater; however that flow is vulnerable to changes in water use and changes in human values. Using scientific study and photographic based visual art we are investigating perennial, temporary, and reborn waters of the Santa Cruz basin. Specifically, how the source and reliability of water affects the look, feel, and biota of a given stream reach; how the human history of a given reach affects the flow and biota and what it means to ‘re-create’ an ecosystem. Does it need to look and feel like the original ecosystem?


parietal bone, cranial bone forming part of the side and top of the head. In front each parietal bone adjoins the frontal bone; in back, the occipital bone; and below, the temporal and sphenoid bones. The parietal bones are marked internally by meningeal blood vessels and externally by the temporal muscles. They meet at the top of the head (sagittal suture) and form a roof for the cranium. The parietal bone forms in membrane (i.e., without a cartilaginous precursor); the sagittal suture closes between ages 22 and 31. In primates that have large jaws and well-developed chewing muscles (e.g., gorillas and baboons), the parietal bones may be continued upward at the midline to form a sagittal crest. Among early hominids, Paranthropus (also called Australopithecus robustus) sometimes exhibited a sagittal crest.

Balance testing is a group of tests that can be performed to determine if you have a balance disorder. Balance disorders are conditions that can make you feel off-balance while standing or walking, unsteady, or dizzy. The dizziness you experience may cause you to feel lightheaded, faint, or as though you are spinning. Balance Testing Benefits The primary benefit of balance testing is getting the answer to what the root cause of your balance problem is. This will allow us to provide you with effective treatment options and to develop your ideal treatment plan. Balance testing can also shed light on underlying conditions you may not have been aware of, as these can be diagnosed throughout your testing.


Learning in digital play: a dual case study of video gamers’ independent play Main Article Content This paper explores the implications of youths’ out-of-school gaming practices for teaching and learning in formal and informal learning contexts. We report on a study where we examined the video game play of two youths using a case study approach. User experience approaches, e.g. the think-aloud protocol and interviews, were grounded in the theoretical framework of social semiotics to analyse the gameplay videos and to discuss the implications for the youths’ learning. The paper contends that youths are demonstrating critical thinking, empathy, and multimodal literacy through their gameplay. We offer suggestions for how adults can use video games for youths’ learning. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

|Handling PCR data requires some care. Typically the user first gets Ct values that are 'normalized', e.g. with the gNorm method (essentially this implies selecting one or several housekeeping genes and computing normalization factors based on these). The thus normalized Ct values are called delta-Ct values (i.e. they are the difference between Ct for each gene and Ct for the housekeeping genes). It is also possible to compute delta-delta-Ct values by comparing the delta-Ct values for a sample with those for a calibration sample.| Also note that the higher the Ct value, the lower the gene expression level. Thus, what the instrument manufacturer denotes 'fold change' might be the ratio between genes and houskeeping genes, i.e. delta-Ct values. More details are available in this (How to analyze qPCR data A.pdf) document.

Air Rights in Real Estate Air rights refer to the legal right to use or occupy the empty vertical air space above a property. The property is typically a commercial building, apartment building, or condominium building located in a densely populated city where land is expensive and in limited supply. Developers and building owners can buy or lease and use air space above an adjoining building without buying the building in order to increase the value of their property. Air space can be used for any lawful purpose subject to local zoning laws. Air rights do not extend into navigable air space which is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is commonly 500 to 1000 feet above the tallest structures in the area. Air rights are often used for billboards and advertising signs above buildings.

No matter how much parents or teachers try to keep the “bad things” away, children’s lives are touched by trauma. Parents and other adults may struggle with how to talk to kids about tragic events. Taking a proactive stance, discussing difficult events in an age-appropriate language while respecting their emotional intelligence and maturity level, helps children grapple with “grown-up” issues. Addressing tough topics not only makes kids feels safer, but also teaches them about the world and helps them become critical thinkers. By investing young children with knowledge, compassion and strong character, we can give them the tools they need to make things better.

A bamboo of elegant but compact, rounded habit, rarely exceeding 6 or 8 ft in height, but up to 30 ft in warmer parts; stems at first bright green, becoming darker with age, sometimes almost black like those of P. nigra. Leaves 2 to 4 in long, 1⁄3 to 5⁄8 in. wide, dark green and glabrous above, glaucous beneath and downy at the base of the midrib, secondary nerves four to six each side the midrib; one margin toothed. Native of China; introduced to France in 1864. In the characters of leaf and stem this bamboo bears much resemblance to P. viridi-glaucescens, but it is much dwarfer and more compact, and the change of the old culms to black does not, so far as I have observed, occur in that species. The stem-sheaths also differ, as pointed out under P. viridi-glaucescens. P. flexuosa is a pleasing bamboo of the middle size, graceful and very hardy.


A plural of emoji - linguistically speaking The linguistics behind a plural form of “emoji” This is a fascinating account of count and non-count nouns – and how they’re assimilated into English: An example is “water,” which has no plural form. To count water, you must refer to the amount or container: one bottle of water, two quarts of water, etc. (The word “water” can also be countable in the sense of one serving or one container-ful: give me a water, I bought three waters from the grocery store.)

When it comes to Environmental Stewardship, the ELCJHL walks the walk. Just this past week, we launched the “Zero Waste” initiative, which will eliminate all plastic use from 3 of our 4 schools. The Environmental Education Center facilitated this movement, and greatly aided by providing reusable lunchboxes and water bottles for each student. Plastic is one of the leading substances clogging our waterways, poisoning our land, and polluting our air with its fumes. We are called to do better for our earth, and by eliminating plastic in our schools we are taking a small step toward climate change mitigation.

Singing Bowls and BellsSound Therapy Ghungroos (also spelt ghunghroo or ghunghru) are sets of many small metallic bells strung together to form a musical anklet that is strapped to the feet of Indian classical dancers. Ghungroos serve to accentuate the rhythmic aspects of Indian classical dance and allow complex footwork to be heard by the audience. The sounds produced by ghungroos vary in pitch depending on the metallic composition and size of the bells. A string of ghungroos can range from fifty to more than two hundred bells. Young novice dancers might start with fifty bell ghungroos and add more as they grow older and more advanced in their technical ability. Ghungroos are worn in traditional performances of the classical Indian dance forms Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi and Odissi.


Why are hermit crabs hairy? Why are hermit crabs hairy? Those little ‘hairs’ you see all over the body and chelipeds of your hermit crab are not hairs at all.

Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Month Ten Tiny Dances (photo by Gordon Wilson) Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) make up 12% of the population of Oregon’s Tualatin Valley, and the many cultures, traditions and cuisines from this part of the world has made a huge impact on the culture of Tualatin Valley. That impact is reflected in the restaurants, shops and community and arts organizations we embrace here. In 2018, Washington County proclaimed May as Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to celebrate the many people of Asian and Pacific Island descent. The month celebrates the histories, cultures and contributions of those who have immigrated to the United States or whose ancestors originated from the continent of Asia and the numerous Pacific Islands of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.

Learn counting and numbers with the Honey Bee Ten Frame How many pots of honey can you collect? What can I do to help my baby and toddler learn counting and numbers. Children learn best when they’re interested in something. If a child is doing something they are particularly interested in – be it about dinosaurs, dolls, cars, building, insects or whatever – we can use and explore maths concepts with they while they play. However, learning happens at a different pace for each child and it is important to remember to have fun and make memories while doing all this. While there are teaching opportunities in everything, there are also opportunities to bond, build social skills, make friends etc.

Use the following "flower color" resource as the first step to identifying wildflowers in the schoolyard. Note that not all wildflowers bloom the same time of year. Many bloom in the spring, while some - like goldenrod - are in full color in the fall. This is just a start - using visual cues and is a good exercise in observation as well as plant structure. Students should also use leaf shape, leaf edge (toothed or smooth), leaf arrangement (opposite or alternate), plant height and even plant habitat (wetland, forest, field or dry, rocky area) if the flowers are not available. Ask students to draw the plants they see, playing special attention to leaf shape, leaf edge (toothed or smooth), and leaf arrangement (opposite or alternate).


You are here 1640 - The Catawbans The Catawba Indian Tribe was once part of several tribes of the Sioux Indian Nation in the west. They fled to the southeast to escape their enemies in 1640. Settling first in Botetourt County Virginia, the Catawba eventually established homes along the Catawba River by 1660. Their name, Catawba, means people of the river. There are several thousand members of the tribe.


Millions of jellyfish have invaded Puget Sound in Washington recently causing researchers to begin studying the cause. Biologists with the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration and Department of Ecology have dropped nets into the sound to measure how many are underwater. The spike in jellyfish is causing concern because they eat the same organisms as other fish, which could mean less food for those fish. As part of the research, scientists are taking pictures of the jellyfish from the air and will compare those with data collected to determine population. Scientists estimate approximately 2.7 million jellyfish are in Puget Sound. (Copyright (c) 2015 Sunbeam Television. All Rights Reserved.

Vector artwork uses a series of 'points' to describe a shape, similar to a graph in mathematics. This ensures that any vector shape at any resolution should always print sharp. Bitmap artwork is made up of blocks (pixels) that describe a shape. This means that when you zoom in, you begin to see blocks of colors and the artwork becomes unviewable. Bitmap artwork is best suited for screen use, such as websites. While it can be used for print work, it isn't ideal and should be used with caution.

To celebrate the opening of the US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center, The National WWII Museum partnered with National History Day to bring 51 middle and high school students to New Orleans to represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia. As part of this honor, each student selected a way their state influenced or was influenced by World War II. The students chose a variety of ways their state contributed to the American war effort. From farmers in California to railroad employees in Illinois and community members at the North Platte Canteen in Nebraska, Americans everywhere contributed. With their topics chosen, the students contacted museums, archives and libraries to find images that represent their states. They wrote captions and put together an essay that explains the significance of the images. You will find their work listed by state throughout these pages.

Kim Cooper Skyped into our classroom today to help the students learn to hear rhymes in text. She read a rhyming book and asked the students to tell her the words on each page that rhymed. It was tricky, but the students got better at hearing the rhymes as the book progressed. Wow! I really enjoy the pictures that you post of the kids having fun learning. This rhyming activity would be a great activity to do with the kids. I will have to try something like this when I become a teacher.


This study is an attempt to review the main language teaching approaches and methods used in the last hundred and fifty years or so. This is justified by the fact that though some teachers, native and non-native, may have some knowledge of the theoretical underpinnings of their classroom practices and techniques, they may lack an understanding of some other related past and present teaching methods and approaches. Those methods and approaches are reviewed in a simple and straightforward fashion. The theoretical, economic, political, and educational factors affecting their development, implementation, and change are touched upon in order for teachers to better understand their classroom implementation and seek to improve it and justify it with reference to a clearer, simpler, and more straightforward reading of the literature on the topic in focus.

With population expansion, urbanization, and the associated changes in consumerist culture, water is increasingly becoming a scarce resource even in the water-rich Himalaya. This is highly alarming given that the Himalayas are the source of three major transboundary river systems of the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra that collectively support an estimated 700 million people. The future of water security in all of India depends heavily on Himalayan glaciers, rivers and on the health of mountain springs and streams. The proper management of our limited water resources is of paramount importance to ensure water and food security for our increasing population. Therefore, IMI’s focus areas for 2020-23 are:

This chapter examines how we should think about ethics, starting with three framing questions: Do states and their citizens have significant moral duties to the members of other countries? Should states and their militaries be morally constrained in the conduct of war? Who is morally responsible for the alleviation of global poverty? The chapter proceeds by defining ethics and considering three significant and difficult ethical issues entailed by globalization: cosmopolitanism, statism, and realist ethics. It concludes by examining the ethical dimensions of global poverty and just war. Two case studies are presented, one dealing with the ethics of migration and the other with the ethics of just war. There is also an Opposing Opinions box that debates who bears most responsibility for addressing global warming.

Psychotherapy is the first line of treatment when it comes to OCD. However, psychotherapy alone is often not enough, especially when a patient is so affected by the condition that leaving the home is no longer possible. Also, medication can be helpful in the beginning of therapy to reduce the level of anxiety and facilitate psychotherapy. It just needs to be pointed out that medication usually takes a significant while to work, frequently months, and in some cases even half a year to a year. One reason is that OCD is to a substantial part learned behavior which requires time to ‘unlearn’.

A stroll along Circular Quay offers not only a view of the Sydney Opera House, it also leads you past palm trees. Bathed in ERCO light, these have an almost surreal appearance. The Sydney Opera House had not even been constructed, when, nonetheless, in the 1910's considerable development had already taken place in the district. For instance, Macquarie Street was widened. When this was proposed, the Director of the Botanical Gardens, Joseph Henry Maiden, persuaded the authorities to plant an alley with Canary Island Palms (Phoenix Canarienis). In the intervening years the palm trees have been protected by a preservation order. They have also been the inspiration for the planting of many other species in Sydney's urban districts. You can discover more from the Archaeological Zoning Plan issued by the City of Sydney. There are also interactive tree maps on the Internet.

The word Garnet is derived from the Latin word granatum, which meant ‘pomegranate,’ a reference to the stone’s similarity in form and color to a pomegranate seed. Garnets were used in the former Czechoslovakia as far back as the Bronze Age, and in Egypt more than five thousand years ago. They were used in Sumeria around 2100 B.C. and in Sweden between 1000 and 2000 B.c. They were also popular in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Aztec and other native American peoples used Garnets in ornamental objects as well. In Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, there was a major stone-cutting and jewelry-making industry centered around the native red Garnets, which began in the early 1500s and still exists today.

Synthetic harmony is artificial music. It incorporates harmony written with the aid of a computer, harmony written with synthetic scales and synthetic chords and the use of artificial intelligence in music. The guide has already covered many approaches to synthetic harmony. These approaches are listed in the table in the synthesis chapter. This part of the guide concentrates on writing synthetic harmony at the microscopic level. Microtonality is the creation of music using a microinterval, an interval less than a semitone. Granular synthesis is the creation of music in microtime, sound that is less than one tenth of a second in duration.


Walter Stackler: Grade 7 May 8, 1945: German President Karl Dönitz and military commanders signed the unconditional surrender of all German troops, ending twelve years of Nazi rule in Germany. Twelve horrible years in which the dictator Adolf Hitler had strove to conquer all of Europe had finally ended. With this conclusion came an end to Hitler’s anti-Semitic and anti-Bolshevik ideals and the long years of persecution and injustice. Across Europe, celebrations erupted, and millions cheered for the Allied victory. Thousands of Jews and others persecuted by the Nazis were liberated from ghettos and prison camps in the days before and following V-E Day. The Nazi party in Europe had been defeated.

Happy Juneteenth National Independence Day! Today celebrates the date of June 19, 1865, when enslaved people of African descent located in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from the slavery system in the United States. While the Emancipation Proclamation granted freedom and was signed on January 1, 1863, by President Abraham Lincoln. Texas was the farthest of the Confederate states, and slaveholders there made no attempt to free the enslaved African Americans they held in bondage. President Lincoln’s proclamation was unenforceable without military intervention, which eventually came nearly two and a half years later. Juneteenth is an important date on the timeline of slavery history in the United States and now a federal holiday just signed into law last year. Take a moment today and reflect on the importance of this holiday.

About Acid Mine Drainage Acid mine drainage occurs after coal mining exposes metal sulfides to oxidizing conditions. It can occur in both surface and underground mining. Leaching of reaction products into surface waters pollutes over 20,000 kilometers (approximately 12,400 miles) of streams in the United States alone. Some of the most severe and widespread acid mine drainage is found in Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. This section provides a description of how acid mine drainage is formed and what visual clues are used to identify it.

What Should You Do If There Is a Snake In Your Home? In September/October every year the Hunter Wildlife Rescue gets many calls about reptiles being in gardens, houses, pools etc. This is the time of year that reptiles come out of hibernation and start getting very active to breed and feed up over the summer months ready for next winter. The other time they become more active around houses also occurs during March/April/May when the reptiles are looking for somewhere to hibernate. Many get injured on our roads, especially our slow moving Long-necked Tortoises, Blue-tongued Lizards, Bearded Dragons, Pythons and many other species of snakes and lizards. They often sit on the tarred roads for extra warmth as reptiles need to be warm to catch and digest their food. Click here to find out what to do if you find a Snake in your house?


In India 30 per cent area are mountainous 27 per cent are plateaus and 43 per cent are plains, all of these have specific advantages to be utilized. (i) Mountains are source to many streams and rivers, some of them are perennial. These regions have very high potential for hydro electricity productions, etc and also sites for eco-tourism. (ii) Plateaus are mostly laden with minerals, fossil fuels and forest, etc so are economically most productive. (iii) Plains are most important land resource for human beings. These are fertile and most of the food crops etc are grown here and also for economic use it is exploited for development of factories, roads etc. But all these advantages should be exploited sustain-ably.


Someone who's spirited is lively or enthusiastic. It can be challenging to babysit a bunch of spirited four-year-olds, but it's also entertaining. You can also call a spirited person energetic, animated, or spunky. Spirited people are often determined, too, like a spirited activist for animal rights or a spirited defender of free school lunches. Long ago, this adjective was also used to mean "possessed by a spirit or ghost." Today's sense of spirited comes from the original meaning of the verb spirit, "to make more active."

The single most important factor influencing your chance of conceiving is a woman’s age. If women are in their late 30s and 40s there is a lower chance of conceiving, as the number of healthy eggs produced declines rapidly as u get older, especially after the age of 36. If someone experiences premature menopause or is taking chemotherapy treatment, then there is the chance that the number of eggs maturation processes have on the lower side. When a woman gets older her cells start to divide abnormally or maybe there is also a chance that the distribution of genetic material will be unequal which causes an increased chance of genetic abnormality. This indicates that the chances of getting pregnant or miscarriages will be on a higher side in the older women and also in a baby carried by these women with genetic abnormality such as Down’s Syndrome.


Aluminium. A key material in the energy efficiency of buildings Aluminium windows and doors, a prestigious website about aluminium in Architecture, has released a report on the beneficial impact of aluminium in energy savings and efficiency. The enclosures have a large influence in the energy consumption that we make. The data enables us to say that loss of energy through enclosures can reach up to 25% of the total energy lost. Aluminium is one of the most sustainable industries. Aluminium carpentry in energy efficiency Outward-facing holes are the main critical point of energy loss in the building envelope. Aluminium carpentry systems with thermal bridge break save up to 40% of the energy that is wasted. If good glazing is added to this, it becomes a highly energy-efficient enclosure. Industry continues to move from production to use and recycling.


To finish this topic, let us look at a few concepts, reasonings and examples that you will inevitably meet when reading about Mössbauer spectroscopy. You will learn what makes an isotope suitable for Mössbauer spectroscopy, what are the advantages of using Mössbauer spectroscopy in a radioactive beam facility, how a tweak of the method makes it suitable for surfaces, and how and why scientists perform Mössbauer spectroscopy on planet Mars.

The U.S. Forest Service has released two new publications. The first is an article about how forest road planning can be helpful in wildfire mitigation and response. This then ties in to the second publication that is a report entitled Disturbance and Sustainability in Forests of the Western United States. Read the entire report for a full briefing of disturbance related issues in the west. Then, take a look at the shorter article to learn how forest roads can play a role in tackling one of the West’s greatest disturbances: wildfire. Read the communication about forest roads here


A shadow is a dark area where light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object. It occupies all of the three-dimensional volume behind an object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or a reverse projection of the object blocking the light. We have been working on a few learning techniques in learning photography. This week our focus was on shadows. Some shadow-less images to test the light before the experiments. We have 5 and/or more uses of shadows in photography below: - Revealing Form - Directing the Attention - Contrast and Drama - Revealing Texture We discovered a macro feature on the lens we were using and got carried away see what we mean.. not forgetting the editors favourite: we don’t take pictures, we capture moments.

This large gull has a light gray back, black wingtip, and a white head and stomach. These birds will scour the shoreline looking for scraps on the beach and in the water. They will chase after fishing boats and dumps looking for food to take from other birds. Herring gulls will live in a diverse area from coastal mudflats to fields and garbage dumps. Pairs will scour out several scrapes before they choose the final nesting place in which they lay 1-3 eggs. They will add vegetation, feathers, rope, and other materials to the nest throughout the incubation. The incubation period is 31-32 days and the chicks stay in the nesting area until they fledge.


Advanced Prostate Cancer: Symptoms, Treatment, and Outlook Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland that is responsible for making the fluid in semen. The prostate is located below the bladder and surrounds a part of the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. Men are at greater risk for prostate cancer as they age. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 20 percent of men will experience prostate cancer in their lifetimes. While doctors detect most forms of prostate cancer in their earliest stages, prostate cancer can progress. When it spreads to other parts of the body, it’s said to be in the more advanced stages. This diagnosis is not common as doctors diagnose most men in the cancer’s earliest, most treatable stages, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Life sciences/Cell biology/Cells/Gametes/Ova Analyzing DNA from Pap smears could help detect endometrial and ovarian cancer, according to a new study appearing in the 9 January issue of the journal Science Translational Medicine. The finding could be a potentially life-saving screening tool for women. The routine Pap smear, which allows doctors to detect abnormal cells in a woman’s cervix, was recently updated to screen for human papillomavirus or HPV using DNA testing. The observation of an elusive sub-atomic particle known as the Higgs boson has been heralded by the journal Science as the most important scientific discovery of 2012. This particle, which was first hypothesized to exist more than 40 years ago, holds the key to explaining how other elementary particles such as electrons and quarks (those that aren’t made up of smaller particles) get their mass.

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of misalignment affecting teeth, bite patterns, and / or jaws. Your orthodontist will design a treatment plan that may use appliances like braces or clear aligners depending on what’s best for your needs. If you are experiencing tooth problems, gum disease, or difficulty breathing, these symptoms may be related to malpositioned teeth or jaws. Orthodontic treatment can often deliver a smile that not only addresses these issues but helps to improve the look for your smile. There are a number of reasons your dentist may refer you to an orthodontist. This may include: Your orthodontist will perform a physical exam, as well as use diagnostics such as X-rays to develop a comprehensive treatment plan just for you.

Write a book review on the book “Waste and Want” by Susan Strasser Using the book “Waste and Want” written by Susan Strasser and the attached documents, discuss how daily life has been transformed due to how we perceive “waste.” In the older days, people would extract as much as they could from the foods or products that they used. Now, people simply choose to throw away things at their own discretion. How has our new definiton of waste impacted the world that we live in today? Use the book and the attached readings to tie into this theme of waste.


We have already discussed in previous several lessons various different uses of the word ‘Over’ in English. We have shown that over can be used for different meanings as preposition, adverb, adjective and prefix. Hopefully all our readers who have read those lessons have got a clear understanding on the various uses of the word over. Yet there may have confusion among many of you over which one between over & above to be used in certain situations or cases. For them, watching this video could be useful to be clear on which one between over or above to be used with this end. Comments are closed.


The Pencil and the Sword. How Lily Renée (1921–2022) Put her Art to Work Against the Nazis Featuring Sabine Apostolo and Michael Freund Jewish Museum Vienna, Austria Born 1921 in Vienna, Lily Renée Willheim led a sheltered and cultured life until the age of 17 when she had to flee from the Nazi powers, first to England, then to New York. By accident and because of her artistic talent, she became one of the leading cartoonists during World War Two, creating artwork in which anti-fascist messages were as important as aesthetic considerations.

- Manisha Lath Gupta Water Management in Permaculture: 5 years later Updated: Apr 12, 2021 Every year we like to document the flow of water through Aanandaa during monsoons. It gives us an idea of how much rain has fallen that year, assures us that all the water falling on the property is being slowed down, channelised and stored on the property. This year we had better rains than 2013-14-15 but still not at the same level as 2012. We continue to be drought struck. And that is why harvesting water is so critical. Even though our reservoirs dry up within a few days of filling up, but the water is being taken up by the biomass in terms of trees, plants and bushes. The trees have grown significantly these rains, and the grass & shrubs make for good fodder for our grazing animals.


Mike Merrah via Unsplash / Futurism January 29, 2021 If we want any chance of meeting the ambitious climate goals laid out by the 2015 Paris Agreement, it’s becoming increasingly clear that we’ll need to find a way to actually reverse past emissions. That’s why a team of scientists from the University of California San Diego and Texas A&M University published a call to arms, Wired reports, saying that a “wartime-like crash deployment” of carbon capture technology will play a crucial part in saving us from climate change-induced devastation.

Introduce the concept of "Levels of Preparedness" to encourage citizens to prepare for emergencies. Too many citizens think the tasks of "preparing" for an emergency is too daunting. Too many things to buy. Too hard to make a plan. So many do not start or do not finish becoming prepared. FEMA should introduce the "Levels of Preparedness" to guide citizens to the most important levels right away (3 days of water, etc.), then to intermediate levels (simple kits, 3 days food, out-of-state contacts), and then to more advanced levels (training, written plan, 2 weeks food and water, etc.). This will naturally guide citizens to take a step-by-step approach to becoming fully prepared. Some will be encouraged to achieve the higher levels, others will know that at least have achieved some level of preparedness.

Top Ten Classic Jewish Books for Kids These classics reach into Jewish history to teach your children about their origins Chicken Man By Michelle Edwards While the Jewish message of this book--to appreciate what you have in life--is similar to the themes of the other titles I've already mentioned, Chicken Man stands out as a great book about the Israeli kibbutz experience. As Rody the Chicken Man moves from job to job at Kibbutz Hanan, taking pleasure in each task he's given, the chickens he's no longer able to spend time with in his daily work become upset and stop laying for the kibbutz! Kids will learn much about Israeli communal living from this book, but they'll also enjoy the unusual art, the loads of bright colors, and hey--let's be honest--the chickens!


The role of the music producer – A short historical overview “I aim to provide contextual background for the development of the role of music production as a creative practice. It is intended to offer a framework and not by any means a comprehensive historical overview. In the early days of the music recording industry, the ideal recording sought after by producers was the faithful reproduction of a live performance.” “This essay attempts to give an overview of the way in which the human voice is used as a tool by public speakers, more specifically by politicians and religious leaders. How they capture and affect the crowds they address and how they put their message across through sound.” IMPORTANT – These articles are for academic purposes only.

Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, 1606–1669) Etching, drypoint, and engraving; second state of four Gift of Henry Walters, by exchange, 1923 (23.51.7) The startling difference between this impression and the impression of the first state (20.46.17) has less to do with the many hatched lines Rembrandt added to the composition in the second state than with the veil of ink he left on the copperplate as it was printed. This ink turns the previously brightly lit scene into a dark one in which only the faces and hands of the central figures are illuminated. By initially leaving this tone on the copperplate and wiping away the ink only where he wanted to leave touches of light, Rembrandt printed both the etched lines and the layer of ink left on the surface. As a result of this exceptional painting of the plate before printing, each impression Rembrandt pulled was unique.

Fluorometer vs luminometer - (Oct/29/2010 ) What is the difference between a fluorometer and a luminometer? Can I measure luminiscence using a fluorometer? A fluorometer measures fluorescence emission light from a fluorophore excited by an excitation beam from the instrument, usually at specific wavelengths. A luminometer measure light output across the whole visual spectrum. You may be able to use a fluorometer as a luminometer, but it will take a lot of fiddling to work out the best way, and they are generally not as sensitive to light as a luminometer is, so your detection range is not likely to be as wide.


In the Kiva. Image from H.R. Voth, The Oraibi Marau Ceremony, Field Museum Anth. Publ. Vol. XI, No. 1 (Chicago, 1912) The Traditions of the Hopi by H. R. Voth This book of Hopi folklore, collected by an ethnographer early in the 20th century, is one of the most extensive available. It includes a hundred Hopi folk tales, including mythology of the emergence from the underworld, legends of the wanderings of the clans, plus historical legends. It is now known that the Hopi were a bit selective in what they told the earliest researchers, but this does not lessen the value of this collection, or call into question its authenticity.


Wednesday, June 25, 2008 Expensive optical-to-electronic-to-optical converters are needed to switch photonic signals. Now, researchers have demonstrated an excitonic transistor that can perform the operation in what they claim is an ultra-small, ultra-low-power and potentially ultra-cheap device. According to researchers at the University of California at San Diego, the excitonic transistor accepts optical signals at its input, converts them to excitons which can be switched electronically, then automatically regenerates the optical signal at its output through recombination.

Methods | Statistics | Clinical | Educational | Industrial | Professional items | World psychology | Homosynaptic interactions are events that occur at the junctions (synapses) where neurons meet. Homosynaptic events occur at a single synapse or group of synapses but do not involve interactions between synapses or groups of synapses. This term is often used in relation to long-term depression and long-term potentiation of neuronal firing. For example, homosynaptic long-term potentiation has been observed to occur at the synapses that connect two neurons as a result of their firing being correlated in time. There can be four changes at synapse: 1. Synaptic depression 2. Synaptic facilitation 3. Long-term potentiation 4. Post-tetanic potentiation |This page uses Creative Commons Licensed content from Wikipedia (view authors).|

Also popularly used to indicate pain or difficulty in passing urine with or without any deposit.


Why Do Egg Laying Mammals Still Exist? The reason that odd, egg-laying mammals still exist today may be because their ancestors took to the water, scientists now suggest. The egg-laying mammals — the monotremes, including the platypus and spiny anteaters — are eccentric relatives to the rest of mammals, which bear live young. In addition to laying eggs, other quirks make them seem more like reptiles than our kin. They have a reptilian gait with legs on the sides rather than underneath the body, for instance, and a single duct for urine, feces and sex instead of multiple openings. These oddities are often considered primitive “living fossils” that shed light on what our distant ancestors might have looked like… (read more: Live Science)
