The pancreas is a glandular organ that secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine by way of the pancreatic duct. Also containing specialized groups of cells called the islets of Langerhans, the pancreas produces the hormones -- insulin and glucagon. Secreted directly into the bloodstream, these hormones work together to maintain proper sugar or glucose levels in the blood. Insulin lowers the blood sugar level and increases the levels of carbohydrates stored in the liver. In contrast, glucagon releases the stored sugar from the liver into the bloodstream.

HF random wire antennas can work very well as portable or emergency antennas if you pay attention to some of their limitations. In this video, WD0AKX experiments with a random length antenna in his back yard. Coupled with the internal antenna "tuner" of his Elecraft KX3 and a simple ground radial system, he found the easily made wire antenna produced several good contacts. WD0AKX supplies a few helpful links, including one which suggests workable antenna lengths for random wires (http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/randomWire/).

Category:Classical Syriac nouns with irregular gender
The following Classical Syriac nouns have irregular gender.
In Syriac, nouns are usually inflected for gender by adding suffixes to their stem. For singular nouns in the emphatic state, the ending -ܬܐ (-tāʾ, -ṯāʾ) is mostly used for feminine nouns while the ending -ܐ (-āʾ) is mostly used for masculine nouns. A few nouns have the opposite gender to what is implied by their ending, and those belong in this category.
Note 1: Most masculine nouns ending in -ܬܐ (-tāʾ, -ṯāʾ) are usually considered to have a stem ending in -ܬ- (-t-) followed by the regular masculine ending -ܐ (-āʾ), giving the appearance that they end in the feminine ending -ܬܐ (-tāʾ, -ṯāʾ). Those are counted as irregular.
Note 2: Many nouns (e.g., some foreign or archaic nouns) that do not have either ending and are deemed to have an unpredictable gender are included in this category.
Note 3: Nouns of common gender (can be used as either masculine or feminine) are included in this category.

Leia primeiro: Qual seria o nome antigo de Khirbet Qeiyafa?
Em seguida, leia em The Journal of Hebrew Scriptures, volume 8, 2008, o texto de Yosef Garfinkel e Saar Ganor, Khirbet Qeiyafa: Sha’arayim.
Khirbet Qeiyafa is a 2.3 hectare fortified early 10th century BCE site, located in the Judean Shephelah, atop a hill that bordered the Elah Valley from the north. This is a key strategic location in the biblical kingdom of Judah, on the main road from Philistia and the Coastal Plain to Jerusalem and Hebron in the hill country. It is the only site in the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel with two gates. This unique feature provides a clear indication of the site’s identity as biblical Sha’arayim, a place name that means “two gates” in Hebrew. Sha’arayim is mentioned three times in the Bible (Jos 15:36; 1 Sam 17:52 and 1 Ch 4:31-32). It is located near the Elah valley, associated with King David twice, and not mentioned in conjunction with any other later First Temple period tradition. This accords with the archaeological and radiometric data that indicate a single-phase settlement in the early 10th century BCE at Khirbet Qeiyafa.


The genetic fingerprint is also called DNA profile; the process is known as DNA fingerprinting. The basis of the genetic fingerprint is DNA. On this basis the genetic fingerprint, exactly like a fingerprint, is unique for each individual. This is an ideal foundation to convict a suspect or prove a suspect to be innocent. DNA is a double helix and consists of the four building blocks adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. It is present in skin cells or body fluids like sperm or saliva. Only a small portion of DNA is different from person to person and exactly this part makes every human unique and individual.
The procedure of genetic fingerprinting was discovered accidentally by a British geneticist, Sir Alex John Jeffreys in the year 1984. Four years later, in 1988, it was approved for the first time in a criminal trial before a court in Germany.
To get valuable information from DNA it must first be disassembled. The non-coding regions of the DNA are the basis for the procedure.
EVISCAN provides a big advantage for the user in comparison to other methods for preserving traces. Here, a possible DNA will not be destroyed while the fingerprint is preserved and can also be secured. Therefore, a decision between preserving a fingerprint and a DNA trace is not necessary.


The other unsaturated system that will commonly undergo nucleophilic addition.
However, a carbonyl system is most likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution with a different mechanism to SN1, SN2 etc. and this is dealt with in a separate section. The reason for the attractiveness of carbonyl systems to nucleophiles is that the Carbon-Oxygen double bond is quite polar, as shown by the resonance structures which leave a δ+ on the carbon.
Compared to nucleophilic addition to alkenes, the anion produced in carbonyls is much more stable because it lies on the electronegative oxygen rather than carbon. The diagram below shows the two possible outcomes of a nucleophile attacking a carbonyl;
Again, the pathway that involves substitution will be dealt with in much detail in the Carbonyls section. The stability of the carbonyl system means that many of these reactions will be reversible (unless the nucleophile is very strong – or in other words cannot act as a leaving group) and thus held in some sort of equilibrium. An example is the reaction of carbonyls with alcohols;
The approach of the nucleophile is very specific – it attacks the π bond at the correct angle to form a new sp3 hybridised centre (104.5o);
Further detail on carbonyl mechanisms is covered in the carbonyls section.

You can use the following basic syntax to combine rows with the same column values in a data frame in R:
library(dplyr) df %>% group_by(group_var1, group_var2) %>% summarise(across(c(values_var1, values_var2), sum))
The following example shows how to use this syntax in practice.
Example: Combine Rows with Same Column Values in R
Suppose we have the following data frame that contains information about sales and returns made by various employees at a company:
#create data frame df <- data.frame(id=c(101, 101, 102, 103, 103, 103), employee=c('Dan', 'Dan', 'Rick', 'Ken', 'Ken', 'Ken'), sales=c(4, 1, 3, 2, 5, 3), returns=c(1, 2, 2, 1, 3, 2)) #view data frame df id employee sales returns 1 101 Dan 4 1 2 101 Dan 1 2 3 102 Rick 3 2 4 103 Ken 2 1 5 103 Ken 5 3 6 103 Ken 3 2
We can use the following syntax to combine rows that have the same value in the id and employee columns and then aggregate the remaining columns:
library(dplyr) #combine rows with same value for id and employee and aggregate remaining columns df %>% group_by(id, employee) %>% summarise(across(c(sales, returns), sum)) # A tibble: 3 x 4 # Groups: id  id employee sales returns 1 101 Dan 5 3 2 102 Rick 3 2 3 103 Ken 10 6
The result is a data frame that combines all of the rows in the original data frame that had the same value in the id and employee columns and then calculates the sum of values in the sales and returns columns.
Note: We chose to aggregate the sales and returns columns using the sum function, but you can aggregate by another metric such as the mean if you’d like.
The following tutorials explain how to perform other common tasks in R:


|Meerkat or Suricate
Behavior: Meerkats live in groups of up to 25 animals (called a "mob" or "gang"). They are fiercely territorial and usually stay very close to their underground burrows, where they live. One meerkat will stand watch in order to warn the group with a shrill cry when a dangerous predator approaches. Hawks, eagles and jackals hunt meerkats. Meerkats frequently sit or stand on their hind legs in an upright position, using their tail as a third leg.
Anatomy: The meerkat is a sleek, furry animal the size of a squirrel. It is about 10-14 inches (25-36 cm) tall and weighs about 2 pounds (1 kg). It has sharp claws which it uses to dig burrows, to scratch the ground for insects to eat, and to catch prey. Meerkats have closable ears.
Diet: Meerkats are primarily insectivores (insect-eaters). They scratch into the ground for insects and insect larvae to eat. They also eat other small animals (like lizards and mice) and some plants.
Classification: Class Mammalia (mammals), Order Carnivora.

Drinking water quality is routinely monitored in the distribution network but not inside households at the point of consumption. Fluctuating temperatures, residence times (stagnation), pipe materials and decreasing pipe diameters can promote bacterial growth in buildings. To test the influence of stagnation in households on the bacterial cell concentrations and composition, water was sampled from 10 separate households after overnight stagnation and after flushing the taps. Cell concentrations, measured by flow cytometry, increased (2-3-fold) in all water samples after stagnation. This increase was also observed in adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) concentrations (2-18-fold) and heterotrophic plate counts (4-580-fold). An observed increase in cell biovolume and ATP-per-cell concentrations furthermore suggests that the increase in cell concentrations was due to microbial growth. After 5 min flushing of the taps, cell concentrations and water temperature decreased to the level generally found in the drinking water network. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis also showed a change in the microbial composition after stagnation. This study showed that water stagnation in household pipes results in considerable microbial changes. While hygienic risk was not directly assessed, it emphasizes the need for the development of good material validation methods, recommendations and spot tests for in-house water installations. However, a simple mitigation strategy would be a short flushing of taps prior to use. Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Promoting Gender Equity within the Classroom.
Edge, Joy; Fisher, Meg; Martin, Cindy; Morris, Marcia
This report describes a program for heightening awareness of gender bias within the classroom. The targeted population consists of ages 3 to 18 from elementary and high school settings in the Midwest. The problem of gender bias has been well documented for many years. The solution strategy resulted in the implementation of activities to promote gender equity within the classroom, heighten awareness of female contributions to society, increase teacher understanding of the consequences of gender inequity and heighten awareness among students of the existing problem. The researchers examined the local community, the home environment, textbooks, instruction in the classroom and student attitudes, among other factors. The effect of this study has greatly increased the awareness of the researchers of the need to start addressing the problem of gender inequity in the home. Centering curriculum on contributions of both sexes will increase the students' knowledge base. Other immeasurable benefits include an increase in self-esteem, the desire to pursue careers regardless of gender, and a change in attitude toward a more equitable environment. (EH)

Firewire is a high-speed, hot-swappable peripheral
interface that supports data transfer rates of up to
800 megabits/second. Firewire was originally developed
by Apple Computer Corporation and it was adopted as
an industry standard (IEEE 1394) in 1995.
The original implementation of Firewire operated at a speed of 400 megabits/second, but the latest version (Firewire 800 - IEEE 1394b) has doubled the data transer rate to a whopping 800 megabits/second. Firewire 800 also doubled the maximum length of a Firewire cable to 15 feet.
The amazing speed of the Firewire bus and the ability to connect and disconnect Firewire devices while the computer is running has made Firewire the connection of choice for manufacturers of digital camcorders. Firewire is also supported in a number of hard drives and CD/DVD burners.
Advantages of Firewire over USB
- Firewire is twice as fast as USB 2.0.
- The Firewire bus can directly power devices up to 45 watts which means that many more
Firewire devices can operate without a
dedicated power supply than with USB.
- When used with a Firewire 800 optical repeater, you can use Firewire devices up to 3300' away.
Disadvantages of Firewire
- Not all PCs come factory equipped with
- Firewire devices are typically more expensive than USB devices.
Adding Firewire ports to your computer
You can add Firewire capability to virtually any PC that has an open PCI slot simply by purchasing and installing a Firewire adapter, and PCMCIA Firewire adapters are readily available for notebook computers.
There are more Firewire devices being put on the market every day, and the prices of existing Firewire devices continues to drop. If peak performance is your goal, you owe it to yourself to switch over to Firewire.

- Modern Theatre -
The Modern syllabus blends Modern Dance, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary & Commercial styles, transforming students into disciplined & versatile dancers. Modern Theatre is a rhythmic style of dance which embraces a variety of music. It adapts, develops & evolves with the changing fashions of dance & first originated in America before travelling across the rest of the world.
From the age of 5, your child can begin a Primary Modern class, which leads to an exam. This takes the form of a class test, with an examiner watching a class taken by the children's normal teacher. The examiner will assess the response, knowledge & movement of each child during the class. This is an excellent way of gradually introducing children to the idea of exams, where in the future they may be entered without the teacher's presence.
After Primary, students can progress through Grades 1-6. For those who are dedicated & are interested in dance as a career, they can begin to enter vocational examinations at four levels (Intermediate-Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced 1 & Advanced 2), which are examined at a professional level.


Inclusion is one of my favorite topics. The big thing is, concentrate
on what he CAN do, not on what he can't. I too had students with very
limited mobility, but I had them go through the same lessons as everyone
else, making modifications as needed. Usually, they were in my 3D
class, so they were able to use large muscles working with clay, and
develop small muscle control weaving or embroidering.
If you are doing mainly 2D work, he can work with a thick pencil or
marker. If grasping is a problem, try boring a hole through a piece of
sponge foam and slide the pencil or marker through it. Or, Velcro the
pencil to his hand or even arm so he can make marks using large
muscles. Tape paper to a drawing board, then set that up on a sturdy
easel, or lay flat on some rubber shelf liner to keep it from sliding.
Painting is great for using large arm movements. Think of all the Es
and Ps he can illustrate with paint! Once you start adapting tools and
modifying lessons just a little, you'll all be surprised at what he's
able to accomplish.

There are many similarities between VO2(B) and VO2(A) from crystallographic view. However, missing of VO2(A) during the preparation of VO2 polymorph confused many researchers. Here, the preparation of VO2(A) was studied systemically via a hydrothermal method in V2O5–H2C2O4–H2O system. As a metastable phase, it can be transferred from VO2(B) by assembling process. Usually, poly-crystal VO2(A) nano-fibers are formed by this process. On contrast, owing to the small energy gap between meta-stable VO2(A) and stable VO2(R), single crystal VO2(A) with regular shape can also be obtained by exfoliating some parts of VO2(R) during non-equilibrium cooling process. VO2(A) has higher phase transition temperature than stable VO2(R). The hysteresis in this phase transition can be observed by DSC measurement and the phase transition temperature of VO2(A) can be tuned down by tungsten doping.


March 17 (Tradition)
One of the earliest and best accounts of daily life at the Labrador fishery can be found in Nicholas Smith’s book ‘Fifty-two Years at the Labrador Fishery’. In his book he makes reference to a Newfoundland, St. Patrick’s Day tradition, that is no more.
“The ice was very heavy and in large sheets; consequently slow progress was made for the first few days, but on March 17th, St Patrick’s Day, Captain William … called everybody at daylight to get out to their ‘Patrick’s Pot’ as we were among the seals, and plenty of them.”
In Newfoundland and Labrador a ‘Patrick’s Pot’ suggests a ‘windfall’ in terms of sealing jargon it referred to a seal herd spotted on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17). When spotted especially on St. Patrick’s Day there would be much excitement.
St. Patrick’s Day would have been early in the ‘sealing season’ and a good omen. The herd would represent a portion of the sealers salary for the year.
Patrick’s Pot or Paddy’s Pot had another meaning for children, when visiting relatives on St. Patrick’s Day silver coins were traditionally given to children, the coins given were referred to as Paddy’s Pot. In the Folk and Language Archive at Memorial University is found reference to this tradition in interviews that were conducted with informants. One gentleman reported when giving a coin to a child the person typically said: “and here’s a Paddy’s Pot for ye, me little colleens.’
Wishing you the very best on St. Patrick’s Day. May you find your pot?
Recommended Archival Collection: At the Rooms Provincial Archives read the journal of Dr. William Waddell (MG 1006.1). The journal documents a typical sealing voyage including a description of the vessel and role of the crew.

Central serous chorioretinopathy is when fluid builds up under the retina. This can distort vision. The fluid leakage comes from a layer of tissue under the retina, called the choroid. There is another layer of cells called the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). When the RPE doesn’t work as it should, fluid builds up under the RPE. As a result, a small detachment forms under the retina, causing vision to become distorted.
Often CSC is idiopathic which means no cause is found to explain why it occurred. However, several possible risk factors have been identified. The condition seems to occur more frequently in people:
When you are under stress, your body releases a natural steroid into your bloodstream called cortisol which helps your body to cope. Although cortisol is essential for your health, raised levels of cortisol can sometimes cause problems for your body. This can include immune suppression (reducing the body’s ability to fight infection) and increased fragility and permeability of the blood vessels.
Symptoms of central serous chorioretinopathy can include:

Spanning the border between Scotland and England, which at this point follows the River Tweed, the Union Suspension Bridge (also known as the Union Chain Bridge) is located 5 miles (8 km) upstream from Berwick-upon-Tweed, close to Paxton House (Berwickshire) and the village of Horncliffe (in England). It is remarkable for being the world's oldest surviving carriage suspension bridge still open to vehicular traffic, and those standing on the bridge today marvel when they feel its oscillation as a vehicle crosses. Until the completion of Thomas Telford's great Menai Bridge linking Anglesey to the Welsh mainland over the Menai Strait (1826), the Union Bridge was the world's largest span wrought-iron suspension bridge to carry vehicles.
The builder was Captain Samuel Brown R.N. (1776 - 1852), a chain manufacturer who had, in 1817, patented his invention of the wrought iron bar-link chain, which was to be used in the construction of this bridge . He worked in association with John Rennie (1761 - 1821), who acted as consultant engineer and made suggestions to ensure its durability. The foundation stone was laid by William Molle in 1819 and the bridge, remarkably, took only a year to build.
The Union Bridge is 133.2m (437 feet) in length between the suspension points, 5.5m (18 feet) wide and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. A plaque set into the wall, at the English end, commemorates its building. The opening ceremony on the 26th July 1820 was performed by Alexander, 10th Earl of Home (1769 - 1841), Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire, and Sir John Marjoribanks of Lees (1763 - 1833), the local Member of Parliament. It was attended by another eminent Scottish civil engineer, Robert Stevenson (1772 - 1850) who produced a noted profile of the bridge in his Description of Suspension Bridges (1821). The artist and engraver, William Home Lizars (1788 - 1859) working with Stevenson, produced an engraved aquatint showing the first carts crossing the new bridge, which is now held by the National Library of Scotland.


The Mississippi River – An Important Fur Trade Waterway
The Mississippi River was only one of many waterways important to the fur trade. The general direction of the fur trade was east to west and back again rather than north to south as the Mississippi flows. However, some furs did make their way down the Mississippi to Louisiana. Mostly these were “black market” furs sent down the Mississippi to avoid sharing the profits with the licensed traders in Montreal. Unlicensed traders with an eye to keeping a bit more for themselves relied upon the Mississippi as a “back door” for trading.
In the later years of the fur trade, the American Fur Company had a major depot at St Anthony Falls, which is now Minneapolis/St.Paul, Minnesota. The city of St. Louis became the center for the Rocky Mountain fur trade.
The headwaters of the Mississippi River are found in north central Minnesota. The river begins at a small lake and winds its way slowly through forested areas before entering more open marshy land. It passes through several large lakes before making its way past White Oak Point where our fur trading post was first located. By the time it reaches the area near the fur post, it has already traveled almost 150 miles although the headwaters are only about 60 miles away “as the crow flies”.
At its headwaters, the Mississippi is so small you can easily toss a pebble across or wade across with the water only reaching your knees. It is still a rather wild and small river when it passes White Oak Point. White Oak Point was a landmark from the early days since it was the highest point of land on this section of the river. Its location and elevation probably made it a good choice for a post even in 1798.


The College Application Essay: Getting Started
Figuring out what to write about is often the most difficult step. Sitting at the kitchen table with parents hovering and a blank screen staring back at you doesn’t help. So get up and step away. Take a walk or relax in your favorite easy chair. With a simple notepad in hand, do a little thinking.
First, make a list of all the major events and meaningful moments of your life. Include all events that stand out: an accomplishment, a trip, a special birthday, a memorable visit with a grandparent. Ask family to help jog your memory. Flip through a family photo album.
Next, make a list of your favorite things. If you had a day to yourself, what would you choose to do? If your house was on fire, what five things would you grab from your room? What clubs or sports do you most enjoy?
Finally, make a list of the things you dislike. What was the worst thing you’ve every done? What was the worst day of your life? What was the saddest day? What was the hardest challenge you’ve overcome?
Now gather up those lists and head back to your computer. (See Brainstorming)


National Botanic Gardens
The National Botanic Gardens (Irish: Garraithe Náisiúnta na Lus) are located in Glasnevin, 5 km north-west of Dublin city centre. The gardens were founded in 1795 by the Dublin Society (later the Royal Dublin Society) and are today in State ownership through the Office of Public Works. They hold 20,000 living plants and many millions of dried plant specimens. There are several architecturally notable greenhouses.

Also, in the bottom of the sun design written in Devanagiri script, the words Bharat Ratna are engraved in silver tilt; this was an old design; the new design is also of Peepal leaf made of gold about 59 mm in length, 49 mm in width, and 3.9 mm thickness rimmed with Platinum.
The inscription on the front side was the same but made of platinum; the reverse side of the medallion has an Indian emblem etched in a bronze tilt and the Indian motto "Satyameva Jayate" is inscribed under the Indian emblem.
All the configuration of the medallion remained the same except that it has a 59 mm wide ribbon attached to it so that it can be worn around the neck with a few improvements discussed above.
Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, Sir C.V. Raman, and Chakravarti Rajagopalachari were the first recipients of the Bharat Ratna Award in 1954.


What is Uterine Cancer?
Cancer is the result of a mutation that causes otherwise normal cells to grow at an abnormal rate. A buildup of extra cells in the uterus can result in the formation of tumors, which may be either malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous).
Benign tumors can be treated or surgically removed and usually do not grow back. Most cancers of the uterus are more than 95 percent carcinomas — cancerous growth in the cell lining or covering most organs (also known as epithelial cells). The remaining five percent are sarcomas, which are cancers that start from tissues, such as muscle, fat or bone.
The uterus is a hollow pelvic organ within the female reproductive system that is connected to the vagina by a narrow neck, the cervix. Carcinomas starting in the cervix are called cervical carcinomas (see cervical cancer), while those originating in the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) are called endometrial (uterine) carcinomas. The difference between these two types of gynecologic cancers can be confusing, but to clarify, when health care providers talk about uterine cancer, they are referring to cancer of the body of the uterus and not the portion of the uterus that is the cervix.

What is a TENS Device?
Since the mid-1970s, doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists have used TENS technology to treat body pain. Typically, TENS units deliver MILLICURRENT signals.
Conventional TENS machines shock your nervous system causing the brain to temporarily shut down necessary communication between your brain and the injured area. The high current causes a temporary block to the pain signal and delays healing. Once the stimulation is removed, the pain quickly returns.
MICROCURRENT TENS devices are more effective, potent, and long lasting due to the amount of current delivered into the body. Microcurrent TENS devices differ because they deliver gentle electrical impulses similar to our body’s natural communication system. These impulses stimulate the A, B, and C nerve fibers. Neuropeptides such as nitric oxide, endorphins, and natural opiates are released. The result is long-lasting, drug-free pain relief and tissue healing.


Did you know that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) young people are over-represented in the nation’s foster care system? Or that the American South is the region with the largest number of LGBTQ parents raising children? How about that LGBTQ parents are four times more likely than different-sex parents to be raising an adopted child and six times more likely to be raising foster children? Or that 67% of LGBTQ Alabamians ages 18-25 intend to raise children one day?
As national and local perspectives on LGBTQ persons and couples as suitable foster and adoptive parents continue to shift, these persons can not only meet the incredible permanency needs for children in Alabama, but can also use their networks to help find permanent placements and community support for LGBTQ young people in care.
Join us in this webinar on learning compassionate care for all children and all families. This workshop will focus on equipping attendees with a better grasp of respectful language with which to speak with and about LGBTQ young people and families, and will provide opportunities for attendees to ask questions on and share lessons learned from past experiences working with LGBTQ young people and families.


Imperial Conference were meetings of Prime Ministers of the Dominions of the British Empire in London which had been held since 1917. The sixth Imperial Conference took place from October 19 to November 22, 1926. Representing the Dominion of Canada was Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.The central issue of the conference was the status of the Dominions within the Empire. The Conference produced the Balfour Declaration which established the principle that the Dominions were all equal in status, and not subordinate to the United Kingdom. It stated that the United Kingdom and the Dominions:
"...are autonomous Communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth."

Folk music went through an extensive revival in the U.K. and America during the 50s and 60s, with artists like Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez at the forefront. At the same time a number of British bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were renewing U.S. interests in Rock and Roll and many artists with folk roots started to rock a little more, or use more electric instruments and amplifications to perform traditional music.
Folk rock had its golden age from the mid sixties to the mid seventies, and this is when we saw some of the most memorable folk singers take to the stage. No discussion of folk music would be complete without Bob Dylan, who has written so many songs and influenced so many. He is so often associated with the acoustic guitar and traditional folk music but he used electric instruments rather frequently, especially during his later career. Dylan was also instrumental in the success of The Band, a great, if somewhat eclectic Canadian folk rock group who made it big at least partially due to his support.


Titanic Victim George D. Wick - Iron & Steel Company Executive
George D. Wick, of Youngstown, Ohio, was one of the passengers lost in the wreck of the “Titanic.” He had been connected with the iron interests of the Mahoning Valley all his active life, succeeding his father, who was a well-known ironmaster. Col. Wick was vice-president of the Union Iron & Steel Co., Youngstown, when it was sold to the National Steel Co., now part of the Carnegie Steel Co.’s works.
He then became vice-president of the Republic Iron & Steel Co., with offices in Chicago, but after one year with James A. Campbell, he founded the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., at Youngstown. Because of ill health, Mr. Wick retired from the presidency of that company.
Later he purchased control of the Carry Iron & Steel Co., at Cleveland, and about a year ago merged it with the Empire Iron & Steel Co., of Niles, Ohio. On the formation recently of the Brier Hill Steel Co., he sold out his interests in the Empire company.

VI. First Commercial Telephone Exchange
THE first commercial telephone exchange system in the world was opened in New Haven, in January, 1878, and has been in continuous operation ever since. This pioneer exchange was organized by Mr. George W. Coy, who now resides in Milford, New Haven County, and who, during the twelve years ending with the year 1877, was managing the local offices of the Atlantic and Pacific and the Franklin Telegraph companies.
In July, 1877, the local papers in New Haven contained an advertisement of 'Bell's telephone' reading in part:
In September, 1877, Mr. Coy secured several Bell telephones and installed a few private lines in New Haven, and also displaced some district call-boxes with telephones in his local messenger service. Perceiving how useful the telephone was proving to business houses desiring his messenger service, Mr. Coy concluded that a central telephone exchange system would be a desirable thing for the community, provided a sufficient number of subscribers could be secured.
Now in the beginning of the evolution of telephone exchanges, there was neither experience nor knowledge to guide the investor or the manager. There were no known methods of operation or of maintenance to render uniform and no equipment to standardize, because the to-be equipment had yet to be evolved from needs then unknown. The Bell company had no factory and supplied only the hand telephones, which were made to order under contract. Thus each licensee was largely thrown on his own resources and compelled to devise much of his exchange equipment and to secure from several different sources such associated apparatus as was available. Then the installation was necessarily made and the lines run with the aid of the telegraphers of that day. For in 1877-8, the only 'electricians' were the men associated with the telegraph companies. The electric light and the trolley then had no commercial existence. Thus, through the needs of the telephone exchange, was evolved that now very essential person the


In the Global Warming chapter of the Doomsday Book, the heating that planet is and will experience cannot be ignored. Unless humanity changes course quickly and decisively, the consequences are dire. This article discusses one of the more starling near-term effects, where parts of planet earth become inaccessible to humans who are not in an air conditioned vehicle or suit. The heat and humidity are simply too high for a human to survive.
Humans’ ability to efficiently shed heat has enabled us to range over every continent, but a wet-bulb temperature (TW) of 35°C marks our upper physiological limit, and much lower values have serious health and productivity impacts. Climate models project the first 35°C TW occurrences by the mid-21st century. However, a comprehensive evaluation of weather station data shows that some coastal subtropical locations have already reported a TW of 35°C and that extreme humid heat overall has more than doubled in frequency since 1979. Recent exceedances of 35°C in global maximum sea surface temperature provide further support for the validity of these dangerously high TW values. We find the most extreme humid heat is highly localized in both space and time and is correspondingly substantially underestimated in reanalysis products. Our findings thus underscore the serious challenge posed by humid heat that is more intense than previously reported and increasingly severe.
What areas will first be affected?
- South Asia
- the coastal Middle East
- coastal southwest North America
- eastern coastal India
- Pakistan and northwestern India
- the shores of the Red Sea
- Gulf of California
- southern Gulf of Mexico
- (parts of Bangladesh)

What Is the Theme of "Popular Mechanics" by Raymond Carver?
The themes of the short story "Popular Mechanics" by Raymond Carver is a lack of communication, separation and struggle. The tone of the story is angry and aggressive. The story is about a married couple who are separating and fighting over who should get the baby. This fight leads to a physical tugging match over the baby.
The story was originally published under the name "Popular Mechanics" but was later renamed "Little Things." The story begins with the man packing up to leave when he and the wife get into an argument over who is going to keep the baby. The reason for their separation is not clear, but it is not amicable. The husband and wife display a lack of communication during their argument, which quickly devolves into a physical struggle.
The final line, "In this manner, the issue was decided" is ambiguous but suggests that either the baby's arm is broken or the baby is ripped apart by the parents' struggle to keep him. The irony of the last sentence is that neither parent gets the baby, even though they were each so desperate to have him. The story foreshadows what happens to the baby when the flowerpot in the kitchen falls and breaks due to the struggle.


Eastern redbud, flowering crabapple and crepe myrtle are colorful flowering trees. Other trees with brightly-hued blossoms include the flowering dogwood, southern magnolia, golden chain tree and cherry tree.Continue Reading
The eastern redbud tree is a small ornamental tree that produces light pink blossoms. It reaches a maximum height of 30 feet.
Flowering crabapple trees, which bloom in early spring, also develop large quantities of pink flowers. Asian crabapple varieties contain large, brightly colored fruit that remains after the blossoms fall.
Crepe myrtle is a flowering deciduous tree that thrives in sunny locations. Japanese crepe myrtles have white flowers, but other cultivars also produce pink, red and purple blossoms.Learn more about Trees & Bushes

Collected on a spooky Halloween night in 1931 (well, it might have been during the day, but let’s just say night), this specimen was found by Curator of Botany Otto Jennings at Dixmont Hollow near Emsworth, Pennsylvania.
Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a small deciduous tree found in forests and stream banks across the eastern United
States. This awesome native plant is notable for its fall flowering, with long ribbon-shaped bright yellow petals. The plant flowers as it drops its leaves for fall, leaving branches with no leaves but plentiful flowers. Witch hazel is among the last plants in our region to flower in the fall. As its fruit dry, it ejects the seeds, making a snapping sound.
Why the name witch hazel? Several explanations have been given. One is derivation from an old English word meaning bendable. More fitting for Halloween, another unverified claim is the plant was thought to be linked to witchcraft, both for its mysterious noises—snapping sounds during seed ejection—and supposed use in magic wands.

1916 was an unusual year in the history of U.S. silver coins. That year the US Mint released three newly designed coins; the silver Mercury Dime, the silver Standing Liberty Quarter, the silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar.
Usually the redesign of a coin corresponds with an important date in U.S. history. For example, in 1909 the U.S. mint released the redesign cent with President Lincoln on the obverse, the importance of the date 1909 is that it commemorates Lincoln’s birth year, 1809. Further, in 1932 the U.S. mint released the redesigned quarter with President Washington on the obverse. The importance of the 1932 is that it’s the bicentennial of George Washington’s birth year, 1732.
So, what’s the importance of the silver coins released in 1916? Is there a centennial or bicentennial celebration they represent? Unfortunately, no. That year the head of the U.S. mint thought there was a law that stated every 25 years a coin had to be redesigned. So, he rushed to get the Barber coins redesigned.
This year the U.S. mint is making gold coins to commemorate the three 1916 coins; the gold Mercury Dime was just released, look for the gold Standing Liberty Quarter and the gold Walking Liberty Half Dollar to come out later in the year.
The Newark Coin Exchange is always buying coin collections. Coin collections from Pataskala and Lancaster are always welcome to stop in, there’s no appointment needed.


Over a period of 5 to 10 years the health risks from smoking for an ex-smoker falls to the same level as that of a non-smoker.
It’s never to late to stop smoking. No matter how long you’ve been smoking, or how heavy a smoker you are, stopping smoking will have real health benefits.
You would lower your children’s risk of: Lung disease, infection, cot death, and glue ear.
Other family members or people you live with are affected by passive smoking. Research has shown that children whose parents smoke have significantly higher incidence of lung and chest problems and general infections. There is an increased incidence in cot deaths within smoking households.
You will save money. If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, based on an average current price of around £7.90 for 20;- you will save £240 a month or £2880 a year.
Your sense of taste and smell will improve, making food more enjoyable, and you won’t smell of stale smoke all the time.

The purpose of the library is to provide tools to build template metaprograms being able to interpret the content of a string literal and generate code, display error messages, etc based on the content of the string literal. Such metaprograms are called parsers. Metaparse is based on parser combinators.
The key components of the library:
stringtemplate class, which is a drop-in replacement of Boost.MPL's
stringimplementation, and the
An alternative is using
functions instead of template metaprograms. There are certain things that
are difficult (if possible) using
functions: building containers (at compile-time) the length of which depend
on the parsed text (eg. parsing a JSON list), generating and validating types
Compilation speed and memory consumption is a critical part of template metaprogramming-based libraries. Users of the library interfaces built with Metaparse will have to pay for that every time they compile their code. Therefore it is important to provide the parser authors the ability to use the parser combinators with minimal overhead, while it is also important to provide convenient combinators for beginners and for the cases where that is the best option anyway.

To be able to support longer strings. It generates code using macros to reduce the size of the header files (the reducion is multiples of MBs).
There are two reasons for the library defining its own set of preprocessor metaprogramming macros: to have control over the upper limit of iteration steps and to be able to clean the macros up once they have done their job (and avoid polluting the macros of the users).
Note that these macros live in the
directory, which means that they are an implementation detail of the library
and should be used internally only.


The World Health Organization announced Thursday that it will convene an emergency meeting to try to find ways to stop the transmission of the Zika virus — which officials said is "spreading explosively" across the Americas.
"The level of alarm is extremely high, as is the level of uncertainty. Questions abound. We need to get some answers quickly, " Margaret Chan, director general of the WHO, said in Geneva during a briefing for member countries.
The WHO said the pathogen, which was virtually unheard of in the region a year ago, is spreading so fast that it could infect as many as 3 million to 4 million people within 12 months. Chan said those numbers and the severity of the possible complications being reported -- from a brain abnormality called microcephaly in children to paralysis in adults -- make the situation dramatically different than what epidemiologists have seen with past outbreaks of the virus.

The School of Physics and Astronomy offers warm congratulations to Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish, recipients of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to the detection of gravitational waves by LIGO (the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory).
3 October 2017
Gravitational waves – ripples in the very fabric of spacetime – are predicted by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915; but it took until 2015 for scientists to finally build an instrument that was capable of detecting them. LIGO is able to “see” gravitational waves by measuring minute differences in the paths taken by two lasers placed at right angles to each other. In 2016 the LIGO team announced the first detection of gravitational waves, coming from two coalescing black holes.
Queen Mary has a proud history of cutting-edge work on the properties of space and time as revealed by Einstein’s theories. Today this work continues as cosmologists in the School of Physics and Astronomy develop theoretical models of the Universe, a Universe that we are now able to study by observing gravitational as well as electromagnetic radiation.

Learning Development and Classroom Management
Classroom development management is the process of monitoring how a child develops through the different stages of life. It is essential that the teachers promote healthy development and identify problems in the child in case they exist. Standardized processes of growth include the great ability of a teacher to be sensitive to various milestones and cognitive processes. They are a diverse framework that can be used to develop a classroom management strategy that is appropriate for multiple developments. This is applicable in different stages of development as they show various signs that can be used to tell the social and emotional needs of a child. During each stage of development, infant, toddler, school-age and adolescent, the child undergoes changes that have to be identified as they can tell in case the child has a problem. As a teacher, it is important to use teaching as a cognitive development study program while monitoring the development of a child. Other surveillance programs may also be crucial especially those that are developed at home. The chart below shows needs to classroom management strategies that are appropriate for different stages of development. These strategies show cognitive social and emotional skills put together during each stage of development.

Fine Structure of the Midgut and Hindgut in Lepidocampa weberi (Insecta, Diplura)
Xue L., Dallai R., Yin W.
The fine structure of the alimentary canal, especially the midgut and hindgut of Lepidocampa weberi (Diplura: Campodeidae) is described. The general organization of the canal is similar to that of Campodea. The midgut epithelium is composed of columnar apical microvillated cells. Each nucleus contains a single intranuclear crystal. Close to the pyloric region, the posterior midgut cells are devoid of microvilli and intranuclear crystals. There is no special pyloric chamber as in Protura or pyloric cuticular ring as in Collembola but a morphological transformation from midgut to hindgut cells. Eight globular Malpighian papillae, consisting of distal microvillated cells and flat proximal cells, open into the gut lumen via ducts formed by hindgut cells. The structure of the hindgut is complicated and can be divided into three segments. The anterior hindgut cells have an irregular shape and compact cytoplasm. A striking interdigitation between the large bottle‐shaped epithelial cells and longitudinal muscle cells occurs in the middle segment of the hindgut. The thick cuticle gives rise to long spikes projecting into the gut lumen. The posterior hindgut cells possess the morphological features for water reabsorption. Some hypotheses are advanced about the function of the different regions of the gut. 1990 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences


Various medication is a time period that describes medical treatments which can be used as an alternative of conventional (mainstream) therapies. In multivariate analyses controlling for scientific and demographic components, the authors discovered that sufferers undergoing alternative most cancers therapies were more more likely to have breast cancer, increased education, Intermountain West or Pacific areas of residence, stage 2 or 3 disease, and a lower CDCS.
Various medication is criticized for being primarily based on deceptive statements, quackery , pseudoscience , antiscience , fraud , or poor scientific methodology Selling alternative medication has been called harmful and unethical Testing different medicine that has no scientific basis has been referred to as a waste of scarce research assets.
The terms-Various drugs, complementary medication, integrative medication, holistic medicine, natural medication, unorthodox medication, fringe drugs, unconventional medicine, and new age medicine are used interchangeably as having the same meaning and are virtually synonymous in some contexts, 26 27 28 29 however may have different meanings in some rare circumstances.
The authors recognized solely 280 patients who fit the factors, and noted that sufferers in the various drugs group have been prone to be younger, female, and have a decrease Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Score (CDCS, a measure of preexisting comorbidities or of how sick” the patient is on the time of diagnosis).
Critics state “there’s actually no such thing as various drugs, simply medication that works and drugs that doesn’t”, and the problem with the concept of “various” treatments in this sense is that the “underlying logic is magical, infantile or downright absurd”.

The Zika virus is making the national headlines, as it should considering that it has spread into the southern United States and that it is so terrifying for women of child-bearing age, given the birth defects it causes. But if Coloradans need a reason to keep mosquitoes away, it is the West Nile virus.
While the Zika virus can be more frightful, only two cases of Zika have been confirmed this year in the state, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment. Both of those were people who had traveled to Zika-infected areas, which — at the time of their February diagnoses — were in Central and South America.
Through July 22, according to the CDE, West Nile had infected four Coloradans, including two in Larimer County. And it has a more immediate potential for harming Coloradans. In 2015, according to the CDC, the state had 108 cases of West Nile, including 21 in Larimer County, 11 in Boulder County and 10 in Weld County. Statewide, three deaths were attributed to West Nile.
The West Nile virus is carried by the Culex tarsalis, which is common throughout much of Colorado below 8,000 feet. Zika is carried by mosquitoes of the Aedes species, which cannot survive Colorado's climate.
Coloradans, especially those most susceptible to the harmful effects of Zika virus, must take seriously cautions against travel to affected areas and exposure via sexual contact to those who might carry the virus. However, they should not ignore the warnings about the dangers present in their own backyards.
True, there are greater threats than West Nile, such as influenza, but summer is the time to be vigilant about mosquito-borne disease. And in Colorado, that is West Nile.


Identify Plural Pronouns
Pronouns are the words that take the place of nouns. A plural pronoun takes the place of a noun that names more than one person, place or thing.
Here is an example of a plural pronoun taking the place of a plural noun.
|• Kids were playing in the coutyard||• Kids is a plural noun.|
|• They were playing in the courtyard||• The pronoun they takes the place of the noun kids. They is a plural pronoun.|
A list of Plural Pronouns
The table below contains pronouns that are always plural. These pronouns cannot be used as singular pronouns. When plural pronouns refer to people, they use either the first, second or third person perspective or point of view or place.
|Plural Pronouns & Their Perspective|
|They / Them||Third person|
Read the examples below to learn how plural pronouns are used in sentences -
1. We enjoyed the speeches just as much as the food.
We tells who is speaking, and we know there is more than one person speaking.
2. Mrs. Davis gave us a different assignment.
Us tells who is speaking, and we know there is more than one person speaking.
3. Mary and I decided to wash the car by ourselves.
Ourselves is used to restate the pronoun we, and we know there is more than one person speaking.
4. You and John should try taking the trash out by yourselves.
Yourselves indicates who is being spoken to (You & John) and we know there are more than one person being spoken to.
5. They took the trash out with them.
They and them are both plural pronouns and both indicate that more than one person did the action.
6. Emma and Kate finished the chores by themselves.
Themselves replaces the nouns (Emma and Kate) and indicates that more than one person did the action.
Pronouns that are both singular and plural
Some pronouns can be used as either singular or plural, depending on the context of the sentence. The pronouns you, that, which and who can apply to either one or more than one person, place, thing or idea.


Taguchi Loss Function - a diagram of the loss to society as the actual results differ from a target value. The Taguchi loss function aims to capture not only the loss to the customer but to the company and society at large that can be measured in cost. The loss function does not mean to capture what cannot be quantified. For that reason the loss function would include the increase in pollution as a cost to society. In general the loss function is shown as a parabola with the point of minimal loss directly over the target value. While it is drawn as an symmetric parabola in most examples it need not be as the loss function in an actual case will be whatever the actual loss would be and could be discontinuous and asymmetric.
One extremely important concept that the function displays is the weakness of using specifications that treat any result between the values that are not rejected as equal. Most often while the customer may accept a result within the specification they become less satisfied and more likely to find a different supplier as results move from their desired target.
It is my (John Hunter) belief that this concept has even more value when you look at the loss whether or not it can be measured. While it would be nice to be able to measure all costs it is often not possible and including those known but unmeasurable losses when making decisions is worthwhile. And while paying attention to the value for the loss to society is worthwhile I think it would also make sense to calculate the loss function as it relates to just the customer and the provider (as well as subsequent customer in the case where intermediaries exist).


Sports Medicine Outreach
Who is an ATC and Why are they Important?
Certified Athletic Trainers are credentialed professionals that have graduated from a four-year or graduate accredited university athletic training program and pass the requisite exam given by the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of Certification (NATABOC).
The American Medical Association has recognized Athletic Training as an allied healthcare profession since 1990. They are experts at every level of care for the athlete, injury prevention, assessment and diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, sports performance. Certified Athletic Trainers are specialize in orthopedic and musculoskeletal disciplines and fully understand a wide range of medical conditions both emergent and chronic. They play a vital role on the sidelines, in the Training Room, in the Clinic, and understand the healthcare needs of athletes best. Scientific data shows us that an ATC on the field or court means concussions are more likely to be diagnosed, injured athletes have better outcomes, and both recovery time and long-term health are greatly improved.


Key Country Facts
Norwegian flag shows this political union because the red and white represent ties with Denmark and the Blue represents ties with Sweden
Major exports: petroleum, machinery and equipment, metals, chemicals, ships, and fish.
Visited here in 1992, and hope to return soon! In Norway, the capital city is Oslo. There are officially 5.5 million Norwegians living here. The official languages are Bokmal Norwegian and Nynorsk Norwegian, with Saami as the official language in nine municipalities of Norway. The main majority of the population practices evangelical Lutheran Christianity. The time zone is 6 hours ahead of EST.
When visiting, tourists would enjoy Oslo for its culture, nightlight, and museums. Tourists will enjoy visiting Frogner Park, and also Tromsø, one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis, or the Northern Lights. Visitors to Tromsø during the summer months would also see the midnight sun!
A fun fact about Norway is that it is in Scandinavia, along with both Sweden and Denmark. The Norwegian flag shows this political union because the red and white represent ties with Denmark and the Blue represents ties with Sweden.


Here in the Northern part of the country Fall is in the air. It is a great time of year with warm days and cool nights. Being Fall it also means a whole new batch of goodies from the garden will be ready soon. One of the most popular crops is Pumpkins. They are easy to grow and come in all sorts of colors and sizes.
Here are some tips on harvesting and Storing Pumpkins:
1. Leave the pumpkin on the vine until it is the color you want. After you pick it the color stays the same.
2. A couple of ways to tell if the pumpkin is ripe other than color preference are first to see if the skin of the pumpkin can be pierced by your fingernail. Another trick is to check the stem. If it is withering and cracking the pumpkin is “done”.
3. You could also be a very laid back gardener and just let Mother Nature do her thing and let the pumpkins and vines be. The vines will eventually dry out and you won’t even have to cut the pumpkin off the vine to harvest it.
4. Pumpkins can get really big. Be careful to support your prize pumpkin with both hands. Holding your pumpkin by the stem could lead to a disaster if the stem breaks.
5. Store your pumpkins in a cool dry place (no frost) and don’t let them touch as the skins of pumpkins touching can lead to rotting. The pumpkins should last for a few months if properly stored.
If you are planning on saving the seeds:
1. Collect the seeds and wash the pulp off of them.
2. Allow them to dry thoroughly. Place them on a rack or screen where air can get at them for drying.
3. Once dried the seeds can be stored where there is air but no sunlight. Recycle an old envelop for this and you can mark what the seeds are right on it.
4. The seeds should last a few years if stored properly.

Typhoid fever is caused by a bacterium (germ) called Salmonella typhi. This bacterium may contaminate food or drink in areas of poor sanitation. Typhoid ranges from being a mild illness to causing death. Symptoms include sudden onset of fever, severe headache, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhoea. These symptoms can be very severe.
People with typhoid fever pass out the bacteria with their faeces (motions). Even when symptoms have gone, about 1 in 10 people who have had typhoid fever remain carriers. This means that some bacteria continue to live inside the gut and you continue to pass out bacteria with your faeces. If hygiene is not good, then the bacteria can be passed to others who may then get typhoid fever. About half of carriers become free of the typhoid bacteria within three months, but up to half of carriers continue to pass out typhoid bacteria with their faces long-term.
The incubation period for the disease is usually 1-3 weeks. So, you do not get symptoms for 1-3 weeks after becoming infected. Around 200 cases are notified in the UK each year. About 8 in 10 of these cases are in people who caught the infection abroad. Typhoid infection can be successfully treated with ANTIBIOTICS

Ovid's magnificent panorama of the Greek and Roman myths-presented by a noted poet, scholar, and critic. Prized through the ages for its splendor and its savage, sophisticated wit, The Metamorphoses is a masterpiece of Western culture-the first attempt to link all the Greek myths, before and after Homer, in a cohesive whole, to the Roman myths of Ovid's day. Horace Gregory, in this modern translation, turns his own poetic gifts toward a deft reconstruction of Ovid's ancient themes, using contemporary idiom to bring to today's reader all the ageless drama and psychological truths vividly intact.

The Shawnee Trail today may be covered with homes, concrete parking lots and shopping centers, but for years this path was a natural highway for herds of buffalo, wild horses, and wild game.
As the buffalo traveled the old trail, soon the native Indian tribes followed. The tribes hunted along the trail, lived where the buffalo herds were plentiful and built lookouts of stone to communicate and keep a watchful eye for enemies that threatened.
In 1838, the Texas Congress authorized a project to construct a north-south road to encourage more trade in the northern part of Texas. This old Indian trail from Austin to the Red River was chosen as the logical path. Today, Preston Road is a major artery through Collin County and it too follows the old Indian hunting trail.
It was in the 1850s, when immigrants began coming into north Texas to claim land, that the trail is officially recorded as the Shawnee Trail. These early settlers used the path for covered wagons loaded down with the necessities for starting a new life in an unknown land.
Following the Civil War, it also became the route for many of the legendary Texas cattle drives. Cowhands would drive the cattle from the Rio Grande, up to the Trinity River and the new settlement of Dallas on to the Red River. Cattlemen would gather in the community of Lebanon (now part of Frisco) and prepare to drive the cattle into what was then called Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and on to Missouri.
Frisco Independent School District is proud to recognize this important historic and geographic area in the naming of Shawnee Trail Elementary School. The school is constructed on the actual site of the old trail. A Texas Historical marker commemorating the trail and its role in Texas history is located at the nearby Preston Ridge Campus of Collin County Community College.


Canadian brothers Jeff and Andrew Topham spent their childhood in Liberia because their father worked there. The family moved away from Liberia in 1977, several months before the coup and the two civil wars that followed. Thirty years later, the brothers—who are both photographers—returned to Liberia on a personal journey to reconnect with this part of their past, bringing with them their father’s photos from those years. Their goals were to try to find their housekeeper James, who had helped raise them, and to reshoot at the locations of the original photos.
Once back in the nation of their childhood, their personal journey took on a larger scope after they learned that the people of Liberia had been forced to destroy all photos during the war. Now the brothers have begun an initiative to collect images of Liberia from the years before 1977 to give to the National Museum in Monrovia to help rebuild the visual records of the country’s history.
The video above describes the project and the documentary about their journey, Liberia ’77. The documentary will air on Ontario’s TVO this Wednesday, May 23, at 9 p.m. To find out more about the collection of photos from pre-war Liberia, please visit their website here.


CARDIFF, Wales, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A Cardiff University study found a link between anti-social behavior in children whose mothers smoked in pregnancy.
The scientists at the University's Schools of Medicine and Psychology examined the records of 779 children born by in-vitro fertilization whose prenatal environment was provided by either a related mother or an unrelated mother.
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found a link between anti-social behavior in children whose mothers smoked in pregnancy but only when the mother was genetically linked to the child.
When the child came from a donated egg and donated embryo -- egg or embryo donation or surrogacy -- there was no link, suggesting factors other than smoking during pregnancy influence anti-social behavior.
"What we have been able to confirm is that cigarette smoke in pregnancy does lower birth weight regardless of whether the mother and child are genetically related or not, but the link with children's behavior is different," principal investigator Anita Thapar said in a statement.
"It is now clear that offspring anti-social behavior is more dependent on inherited factors passed from mother to child, as our group of children with mothers who smoked during pregnancy with no direct genetic link showed no increased signs of anti-social behavior."


How to Make a Pros and Cons List. Making big decisions should not be left to chance or intuition. Decisions should be thoroughly thought out and evaluated to ensure the best action is taken. Make a pros and cons list to evaluate your options and make the best decision possible.
Use two separate sheets of paper, or sheets in a database. Use one sheet for the pros and one for the cons. By having one sheet for each it will help you keep the reasons separated physically and mentally as you proceed.
Enlist the help of all persons involved in the decision. If it is a personal decision, keep the process to yourself. For bigger decisions involving your family or co-workers, make it a team project.
Write down all positive and negative aspects of the decision on the correct page. Make a pros and cons list by including all aspects big and small in each category. It is also important to be unbiased when making the list. The list should be made with aspects that are not forcing you to lean one way or another from the start.
Weigh each factor in each category. Use a number or star system to indicate the importance of each factor listed when using a pros and cons list. This will assist you in maintaining a clear picture of the weight of each side of the argument.
Make your decision based on the hard facts. Compare each list and make sure you take into consideration not only the number of items in each category, but the level of importance you have assigned to each item.

“Most people are not aware that there are quite a few African American graves there and many of them date from the origins of the cemetery in 1835. I didn’t even know there were there,” says committee member Pat Rogers. The earliest of the African American graves in East End are slaves.
It is estimated that as many as 200 African Americans are buried in East End. Only seven of these graves have a marker. The area in the center of the cemetery that appears to be open space is the location of these graves.
“Tradition and family history gives us the first clue to these graves,” says committee Chair Paul Fourshee. “I first became aware of these graves in talking with the cemetery caretaker, Keidell Bridges, many years ago,” remarked Fourshee.

Secrets in Jane Eyre
"Often in literature, a character's success in achieving goals is tied with keeping a secret and divulging it only at the right moment, if at all." In Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre,Edward Rochester keeps a crucial secret from society: his marriage to Bertha Mason. Rochester continues the air of deception because he deems it necessary in order to court Jane. Jane becomes aware of the truth on the day of her wedding to Rochester. She is devastated and decides to leave him. As a result of Rochester's secret and its revelation the plot significantly changes. In the novel, it was not the secret that was imperative to the plot but the consequences of the secret that affected the plot. Jane's absence positively affects Rochester's character, better preparing him to enter into an honest, healthy relationship with Jane. These changes are apparent when he humbles himself and pleads for Jane to return to him, valiantly comes to the rescue of the hidden woman he detests and allows his role of master to be altered.
"You never felt jealousy, did you, Miss Eyre? Of course not: I need not ask you; because you never felt love. You have both sentiments yet to experience: your soul sleeps; the shock is yet to be given which shall waken it. You think all existence lapses in as quiet a flow as that in which your youth has hitherto slid away." (Chapter 15) In this passage, Rochester treats Jane as a child devoid of real emotion and wise thought process; as if she is inferior to him. Jane does not believe she should be subjected to this treatment. Jane's absence is necessary for Rochester to fully comprehend Jane's worth and prove his sincere devotion to her in everyday life.

With the growing environmental problems, there is no doubt that solar industry is planting deeper roots in the minds of the people. A lot more people are switching to solar energy for conservation as well as savings. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the cost for generating solar power on a large scale will reduce to as low as 3 U.S. cents per kWh on most regions of the world.
In the 2008/2009 time frame, the cost of solar power generation hardware (PV modules and related equipment) began dropping so significantly that many economists forecasted the cost to eventually reach the same costs as nuclear or coal power. This metric is typically measured by dollars/watt of energy produced, and as of 2015, the average cost of production of a PV module has dropped to $.30/watt, an incredible number.

"Training without nutrition is like having a ferrrari and not putting gas in it"
Gluconeogenesis, the forgotten route. What is Gluconeogenesis? It is an anabolic route (creates) and occurs in the liver, is responsible for maintaining stable blood glucose in a shortage of food (4-5 or more hours without eating) or a lot of sustained activity. As a substrate to create glucose, it uses accumulated fat (glycerol and triglycerides go to tissues that can use it as energy), lactate, pyruvate, amino acids, and other intermediates. It is key that this route is active at a certain time, since it is key to be able to maintain glycaemia for dependent tissues such as brain, nervous tissue, red blood cells, retina. The problem is that it is usually recommended to eat every 2-3 hours, suppressing their activity, since there is exogenous glucose (food) and you do not need to create, which does not mean that it is not healthy, but, is it not great to be able to reach or use your own stored fat as energy? I think it is and quite efficient and healthy. Many people use to eat very often have a bad time (dizziness, weakness) when there is no food available during a certain time or physical activity, since not using this route for a long time is not very efficient. It is recommended to activate it, along with the AMPK pathway, even in pathologies such as type 2 diabetes, hyperglycaemia caused by poor diet, insulin resistance, contributes a lot to the improvement. How? Leaving more space between meals, not eating as often, using sweeteners (0 cal) and drinks (0 cal as coffe or tea) between meals and letting the body get used to produce glucose from the reserves we have, such as adipose tissue (fat), we have more than 40,000 calories in fat and more in overweight subjects. @amrappharma Sources: https://buff.ly/2Fdhqat https://buff.ly/2WCvbYt .
