- Hulo' = Up, above, on top of.
Tak- + hulo' =>; Takkilo' = High, in a (high) far up place.
- Påpa' = Down, below, bottom, southward, downward, beneath.
Tak- + påpa' =>; Takpapa' = Low, in a (low) far down place.
- Huyong = Out, ouside.
Tak- + huyong =>; Takhiyong = Far out, in a far out place.
- Hålom = In, inside.
Tak- + hålom =>; Takhalom = Inner, in a (inner) far inside place.
(i.e. in an inner area, but not necessarily the innermost place)
- Fo'na* = Ahead, be first.
Tak- + fo'na =>; Takfe'na = Out front, in a (forward) far up front place.
(i.e. in a more forward position, but not necessarily the farthest out front)
- Ti siña hu taka' i kisami sa' gof takkilo'. = I can't reach the ceiling because it's very high up.

Lesson Plan: For Teachers - Eaton's: A Canadian Icon
Ask students to brainstorm the last few purchases they made and the stores at which they made them. Write the responses on the board or chart paper. Ask: What would life have been like for people your age at the time of Confederation? What kinds of purchases would they have made? Where?
Outline the Opportunity
Direct students to the topic Eaton's: A Canadian Institution on the CBC Digital Archives website. Have them thoroughly explore the clip 'Homesteaders Bible.' Students should also browse the Additional Clips to learn about the products and services that Timothy Eaton provided to his customer base when the first store opened in the late 1860s.
Have students write a point-form summary of what they discovered about how people shopped at that time, the products and services offered by Timothy Eaton, and the new ideas he brought to Canadian retailing.
Revisit and Reflect
As a class, compile a master list of details about Canadian retailing in the late 1800s. Discuss the changes in the Canadian retail market since the time of the first Eaton's store. Ask: What developments influenced the changes in retailing? Identify mass production, the car, the internet, and so on.
ExtensionStudents can keep a diary of their routine for one day. Students will then review their routine to see which of the products or services they used were available in 1869. They should then write to explain how their daily routine would have been affected if they had only been able to use those products and services.


Domestic Abuse Misconception #13: It is important for someone to take charge and tell the victim what to do. Actually, the opposite is true. A victim needs to be empowered to make the wisest decisions about her own life.
Remember what abuse is. It is the use of power and manipulation to gain and maintain control over the life of another person. This means that the victim of abuse has, for perhaps years, had no voice and no choice in her life. She has been beaten down, told she didn't matter, demeaned, and devalued. She has perhaps lived in constant fear. She has been a prisoner in her own home and even in her own body.
This is why it is so very important to allow her to make her own choices and gradually get back the power to run her own life. This is why so many domestic abuse organizations strongly encourage the empowerment model.
You can read more about empowerment here.
(Note: In all of my posts I use "he" for abuser and "she" for victim for simplicity and because, in the majority of cases, the abuser is male. But it can be the opposite with a female abuser. Dynamics of abuse can also happen in same sex relationships.)


A poor knight had many children. One day, the oldest, Rosald, made a friend named Geirald who persuaded him to come with him on travels; Geirald would pay for him, if he let the credit for any adventures they had fall to him. Rosald agreed. His mother warned him to always keep his promise to Geirald.
They heard that a band of twelve robbers were set to ambush them, and at Rosald's insistence, they climbed over them and rolled down rocks, carring the robbers away. The captain got to them, and Rosald fought him and killed him, and took a ring from his hand. This made them famous.
They wanted to stay the winter in a kingdom, but the king would only permit it if they killed a giant. They went to its home, and when it roused in the morning, Rosald struck it to the ground with a blow, and cut off its head. He gave the head to Geirald, to present to the king.
A queen came to that country. She ruled her own country, but her subjects were dissatisfied with it: they wanted her to marry. She was impressed by the tales and asked the king, her uncle, if the two heroes might fight in a tourney against one of her pages. He agreed. Geirald tried to refuse, and Rosald eventually fought wearing Geirald's clothing, as he had promised. Geirald asked, as his reward, the hand of the queen in marriage. The queen thought he was not the man who had fought, and said he must fight against Rosald, as an additional test. Rosald feigned being defeated. Then the queen demanded that the two of them fight against two knights of hers. Geirald did not show up for that fight, and the queen declared she would marry Rosald. She told him that she had recognized the ring he wore during the fight (she being the page), and that Geirald had not worn it when he claimed her hand. Because he was faithful to his word to Geirald, she knew he would be a good king.
One day, many years later, a beggar came to their castle, and it was Geirald.


Basic geologic concepts are used for understanding how the environment and landscape affect society. This course examines the nature of various phenomena including earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, and coastal erosion. It also examines the interplay between human activities and the environment, such as soil and groundwater contamination, solid-waste disposal, resource development, the geologic record of global change, and the far-reaching consequences of global warming.

Camera trap surveys in Virachey National Park in northeast Cambodia have recorded the country’s first sightings of a critically endangered deer, the large-antlered muntjac (Muntiacus vuquangensis). The species, also known as the giant muntjac, was first described nearly three decades ago, and up until now had only been recorded in Laos and Vietnam. The surveys also recorded a suite of other increasingly rare species, highlighting the importance of the national park, which experts say is in need of additional protection to safeguard its unique and diverse wildlife.
Virachey National Park is located in the Annamite mountain range, which weave a chain of precipitous peaks and forested valleys along the border between Laos and Vietnam, terminating at the south in a flourish of high ground that sweeps into northeast Cambodia. The national park was established in 1993 and spans more than 3,300 square kilometers (1,270 square miles) of this remote and rugged terrain, locally named “the dragon’s tail.”


Lola Levine is Not Mean!
by Monica Brown (2015)
A perfect little intro book.
Lola Levine is a confident 4th grader with a lot of winning qualities. She loves soccer, loves being competitive, loves jumping on her bed, loves writing in her diary, loves all the ethnic food from her mixed heritage, and even leaves apology notes for her friends and family. When schoolmates taunt her for being ‘half and half’ – because her mother is Catholic and her father is Jewish – she responds: “I’m whole just the way I am.”
At school, Lola doesn’t understand why some people don’t think a girl can be best friends with a boy. And she runs into trouble when her brand of soccer competitiveness is more than her peers can handle. She does have friends who stick up for her and is eventually able to transform the accusation “Lola Levine is mean!” into a new proud nickname – Lola Levine, Soccer Queen.
Lola’s chapters are quick and clear and chock a block full of colorful and active reference points. Do you know what shalom means? Or what Lola’s real name, Dolores, means? Or how to play doorway soccer? And that’s just the first chapter!
Thanks to Lola’s pace and brevity, and coupled with its lean, rich chapters, Lola Levine is Not Mean! is a perfect introductory title to captivate and motivate less confident parent readers and their families.
Read Lola together and see if your intro families are not clamoring to read the 5 sequels…


Now we know. Your brain power is linked to how much noggin you have in your noodle.
Researchers have discovered that hard exercise can increase production of a brain protein called noggin — which in turn stimulates the growth of new neurons. It means exercise can protect people against agerelated degeneration of the brain.
Scientists have long known that exercise is good for boosting mental capacity but were uncertain how this worked. They suspected, however, that this was linked to neurogenesis, the process by which the brain produces new cells to replace those that die.
Now research, by scientists at Northwestern University in Chicago, suggests that the key factor in this process is noggin, which appears to stimulate stem cells within the brain, prompting them…

Dr. Tom Lowell and two University of Cincinnati graduate students, Esteban and Bill, were kind enough to make the trip to Long Lake to help the Wooster Climate Change class extract two long (14 meter) sediment cores from the middle of the lake.
The first step was to build the raft. Dr. Lowell (aka "the core boss") is in the trailer. Bill and Rob assemble the parts and pieces.
Terry Workman (our course TA) drives the geophysical craft. Under the tarp is Esteban who is collecting bathymetric and seismic data. Based on these data a core site was chosen.
The core boss gives us a short course on the operation of the coring platform. Dr. Lowell has custom-built this rig and he points out the automated coring system. A hydraulic system drives the Livingstone corer into and out of the mud.
Well into the Holocene - Esteban wraps up another meter of lacustrine sediment.
Tom and Terry work the platform sending the piston corer down for another meter.
The crew rows to shore. The class will now obtain organic material for radiocarbon dating and then the work begins analyzing a suite of parameters in the cores. Class members Lindsey and Amanda located a stick at the base of the core, this has been sent for a radiocarbon age and should give us an estimate of the timing of deglaciation in the region. Will Hansen (red shirt) will be using the upper part of the core together with our other collections from Round, O'Dell and Browns Lake for his Independent Study.


In our volume Crime and the Punished, we featured our interview with sociologist-filmmakers Shadd Maruna and Fergus McNeill. This activity builds from their film:
How and why people stop committing crime is an important question. “Discovering Desistance,” by Sarah Lageson and Sarah Shannon describes how two social scientists “co-created” “The Road from Crime,” a film about desistance from the perspective of former prisoners and the practitioners who work with them. Watch the 50-minute film as you consider these discussion questions:
- In what ways might the criminal justice system promote reoffending?
- According to the filmmakers, desistance is both an “internal” and an “external” process. Where do you see internal and external processes in the film.
- What punishment policies might be changed, added, or abandoned to better promote desistance?
- Most people who work in the criminal justice system have never been convicted of serious crimes. How might the system be different if it incorporated more input from people who had been punished under it?
After watching the film, imagine that you are a social worker in a community to which many ex-prisoners return. What resources do you think you’d need to address community needs and help former inmates desist from crime? What community leaders or organizations would you need to enlist for support? Discuss your thoughts in a group and draw up a list of the “stakeholders” whose voices are critical for designing your policy.


"(Upton Sinclair) envied what he considered (Harriet Beecher) Stowe's easier task for she had the murderous Simon Legree to lash slaves and hound them across ice floes. The plight Sinclair wanted to describe seemed dull by comparison...Wage slavery in the twentieth century was not a literal fact but a metaphor; no workers were chained to their jobs or shot for trying to quit. Moreover, as Sinclair noted, most of the workers in Chicago were foreigners who, rather than being kidnapped, had chosen to come here. The plight of workers in general might stir sympathy, even indignation, but their protests often came in the form of strikes that inconvenienced and antagonized the public...The hard fact was that the largely middle-class Americans...were not likely to demand the end of "wage slavery". Workers' problems for these readers were mostly distant and theoretical concerns, no matter how vividly described. Food, however, was an immediate and practical matter. Everyone had to eat...Sinclair made a calculated decision to use Chicago's slaughterhouses as a setting for ("The Jungle") because doing so would broaden his base of readers and appeal to their self-interest. His true subject, however was to be working conditions that he thought approximated slavery...He had virtually no interest in persuading readers that their meat was rotten except as a means of dramatizing the sad conditions of the workers who prepared it for them. People could always choose not to eat meat. Workers couldn't choose not to work if they wanted to live."

Artificial intelligence may help Beijing combat smog
Could artificial intelligence help Beijing combat its choking smog?
Will Knight reports for the MIT Technology Review that IBM is developing a computer system that can predict how filthy the city’s air might be a few days in advance. The projections would be specific to various parts of China’s capital.
Eventually, the technology would enable researchers to recommend steps that Beijing might want to take to alleviate or avoid pollution, the article says. For example, the system could determine that restricting some vehicles from roads or closing certain factories temporarily would be the best responses given anticipated levels of particulates.
The artificial intelligence analyzes a variety of factors that contribute to the city’s foul air. These include factory emissions, road congestion and weather, Knight adds. An IBM prototype can deliver accurate pollution forecasts for Beijing up to 72 hours in advance. Eventually, the system would be able to project smog levels ten days in advance.


The Mesopodopsis slabberi (van Beneden 1861) ( Crustacea, Mysidacea ) population of the Westerschelde Estuary was sampled on a monthly basis and fortnightly basis from May 1990 to December 1991. Distribution pattern, density. biomass, number of generations per year, growth, and production of the species were determined. Higher density and biomass of Mesopodopsis slabberi were found upstream. Although there was no clear relationship between the species and environmental parameter, but it was more likely that adult stages were occurred in the low salinity zone. Marked seasonal and spatial changes were also found. The species was recorded with highest density of 55 ind. m-2 of in August and was disappeared in winter when water temperature was below 5°C. The Bhattacharya method was applied to the length-frequency data and revealed three different cohorts of Mesopodopsis slabberi in the Westerschelde. The overwintering generation lived from autumn until the following spring. The spring generation was released in early spring, while the summer generation was born two or three months later. This indicates growth difference of these three cohorts. Larger body sizes can be found in overwintering cohort, as well as seasonal growth oscillation, indicating that growth of this cohort halted in winter. The other two cohorts grew faster and attained maturity at smaller size. Males and females of Mesopodopsis slabberi showed marked difference in growth. Larger females were also found in every sampling dates. More than 75 per cent of production was contributed from spring cohort. Production in the estuary estimated by size frequency methods gave the range of 23-135 mg AFDW m-2 y-1. Least amount of production was contributed from summer generation.

The old way to do shadows (before drop shadows were added as a layer effect) was basically to do what glen said: one created a shape from the original item with pen tool, lasso, etc. One then created a new layer and filled this shape with black. Guassian blur was added. The shape was moved to offset it slightly from the original and then the layer was placed under the original. The shadow layer was generally set to multiply mode and the opacity dropped to 30-50%. Sometimes one further masked the shadow by adding a layer mask and filling with a gradient fill.

Radon Week reminds homeowners of hazard
Millions of Americans are unknowingly being exposed to radon, a dangerous gas known to cause lung cancer.
Oct. 15 to 21 is Federal Radon Action Week and health agencies throughout the United States are joining forces to promote awareness of this leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers.
The American Lung Association, Centers for Disease Control and National Cancer Institute all agree that radon is a national health problem and encourage radon testing during this month’s awareness drive.
Radon is a naturally-occurring, invisible and odorless radioactive gas. One in 15 American homes contains high levels of radon. Millions of Americans are unknowingly exposed, with a recent study by Harvard University ranking radon as America’s number one home hazard. By taking simple steps to test your home for radon and fix if necessary, the health hazard can be avoided.
Radon gas is not isolated to certain geographical areas or home types. Radon problems have been detected in homes in every county of the United States. It caused more American fatalities last year than carbon monoxide, fires and handguns combined.
If a home hasn’t been tested for radon in the past two years, the Environmental Protection Agency and Surgeon General urge you to contact your state radon office for information on locating qualified test kits or testers.

The following is from Williams (1995), which draws in part from Boersma (1974). Calls include:
1) "donkey-bray", which consists of "several low introductory huffs followed by three, long, higher-pitched brays" (Williams 1995: 261). This call primarily is uttered during the breeding season, especially early in the breeding season when the call is given by males attempting to attract females to a nest site. This call also is given in agonistic interactions between males; females give this call only rarely. Donkey-bray calls are individually distinctive.
2) "courtship" or mutual bray. This call is given by both sexes, "during nest reliefs or at other times when birds are reunited at the nest; males may follow the courtship bray with the donkey bray" (Williams 1995: 261).
3) "haw" call, which functions as a contact call. This call is uttered both on land and in the water.


What is EPUB?
EPUB (also written as ePub, ePUB, epub, or EPub) is short for electronic publication. Files have the extension .epub. EPUB is an e-book standard that makes it possible to optimize text for display on different e-readers. Books in iBooks are published using the EPUB standard.
Why convert files or webpages to EPUB for reading on the iPad?
Unconverted files and webpages are static, meaning you cannot use the interactive features of iBooks when reading them on the iPad. Files and webpages that have been converted to EPUB format can be opened and read in iBooks; you can also use all of the features of iBooks, including dictionary, highlighting, etc.
2EPUB.com is a free online EPUB converter. Upload PDFs, Word documents, or .txt files (other file types are supported as well), and 2EPUB will convert the file to EPUB. You can then post the converted file to your class page, where students will be able to download and open it in iBooks on the iPad.


CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is that part of a home PC or a server which executes the calculations. Every CPU runs at a specific speed and the larger it is, the swifter everything shall be processed, so if you host resource-demanding web applications on a server, for instance, a fast processor will allow them to be performed speedier, which will considerably contribute to the whole user experience. The new generations of CPUs have two and more cores, each one operating at a particular speed to guarantee a better and quicker performance. This sort of architecture makes it possible for the processor to manage numerous processes at one time or a number of cores to address one process if it requires more computing power in order to be carried out. Obviously, other factors like the amount of RAM or the connection that a given server uses can also affect the efficiency of the Internet sites hosted on it.

The “Game of Floods” is an exercise in collaboration, making tough decisions, and managing community resources.
Developed by the County of Marin, the Game of Floods is an educational game on sea level rise adaptation, including traditional flood protection measure, nature based shoreline protection approaches, and policy/zoning changes that may be need to adapt to rising sea and changing shorelines. In the game, small groups are tasked with developing an adaptation strategy for a community that will experience sea level rise and increased storm impacts causing the loss or deterioration of homes, community facilities, roads, agricultural land, beaches, wetlands, lagoons, and other resources. The game can help foster collaboration and provide a deeper understanding of the environmental, economic and social choices that communities will face in preparing for sea level rise.
The Game of Floods can be played at public workshops, high schools, and community group meetings. If you are interested in hosting a Game of Floods event in your community, receiving facilitation assistance or a sea level rise presentations for your group, please email email@example.com.


Glenn Rutz of Elmhurst, Illinois, writes:
Marilyn: A reader asked whether studying music helps children with math skills. (May 10, 2009) I agree with your answer (no solid evidence exists), but I do think that there is a relationship. I believe a triangular relationship exists among music, computer science, and math. This relationship, however, is not one in which one skill set reinforces another. Rather, one skill set is indicative of the other. My background includes an undergraduate degree in music education and ten years of professional performance, plus my current career in information technology, as well as some level of proficiency in math.
All three disciplines have one characteristic in common: To truly become skilled, one must be willing to drill problems repetitively. In music, repeated practicing of scales, technical exercises, playing techniques, and performance pieces is absolutely necessary. In math, the learning process requires (to my youngest daughter‚s never-ending chagrin) drilling of similar, but slightly different, problems. In computer science, one takes a programming class in which the target language syntax is repeated in an ever-expanding cycle of options and variations.
I do not think that one area helps another, but I do believe that this skill correlation can be observed readily in the real world.


If you haven’t noticed, the new world health crisis is the Zika virus transmitted via the common mosquito:
There’s another big health concern that’s all over the news, and it’s behind this week’s Words You’ll Hear. That’s the segment where we try to understand stories we’ll be hearing more about in the coming days by parsing some of the words associated with those stories. Today, our word is Zika. That’s the name of a mosquito-borne virus that’s been detected in parts of the Caribbean and Central and South America, especially in Brazil, where it’s being blamed for a spike in birth defects. The Centers for Disease Control has issued travel advisories for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
You’re humble contributing editor suggests a single course of action.
A 1978 National Cancer Institute report concluded—after two years of testing on several different strains of cancer-prone mice and rats—that DDT was not carcino-genic.36 As for the DDT-caused eggshell thinning, it is unclear whether it did, in fact, occur and, if it did, whether the thinning was caused by DDT, by mercury, by PCBs, or by the effects of human encroachment.16,37 And as recently as 1998 researchers reported that thrush eggshells in Great Britain had been thinning at a steady rate 47 years before DDT hit the market; the researchers placed the blame on the early consequences of industrialization.
By all means, let’s ban a cure saving millions of life for … well, for nothing.


Biography of Emil Redlich
Redlich studied at Vienna and received his doctorate there in 1889. During his hospital service as secondary physician at the Wiener Allgemeines Krankenhaus, and as house physician in the Städtisches Versorgungshaus, he was eagerly engaged in work on the anatomy of the brain at Heinrich Obersteiner’s institute. This work earned him his habilitaten for neurology in 1894, before he became assistant at the psychiatric-neurological clinic of Julius Wagner-Jauregg (1857-1940) in 1895. From 1898 to 1906 he was head of the private lunatic asylum in Inzerdorf near Vienna. He became titular professor in 1900, ausserordentlicher professor in 1913, and titular ordentlicher professor in 1922. In 1914 he was made director of the Nervenheilanstalt Maria-Theresia-Schlössel in Vienna. He died in Vienna in 1930. Redlich and Obersteiner proposed that tabetic degeneration of the posterior columns begins in the posterior roots.


a term that was widely used in Soviet and foreign Marxist literature from the 1930’s through the early 1950’s. It referred to the errors committed in philosophy by A. M. Deborin’s group. In the resolution of Jan. 25, 1931, On the Journal Pod znamenem marksizma, the Central Committee of the ACP (Bolshevik) pointed out that on a number of important philosophical questions the Deborin group had descended to “the standpoint of Menshevizing idealism” (Opartiinoi i sovetskoi pechati [a collection of documents], 1954, p. 407).
The word “Menshevizing”signified that the separation of theory from practice by Deborin and his disciples was regarded as the resurrection of a particular Menshevik dogma, and the word “idealism,”that Deborin’s identification of Hegel’s dialectic with Marx’ was considered a retreat into idealism.
Later, the term “Menshevizing idealism”was extended to some theoretical errors in other scholarly disciplines (for example, I. I. Rubin’s mistakes in political economy). Since the late 1950’s some scholars have argued that the term lacks precise theoretical content. However, it still has historical significance.

Huacas del Sol y de la Luna is an archaeological complex located south of the city of Trujillo in the Moche district. It is composed of monuments, one of which is believed to have been used for political and administrative purposes (Huaca del Sol) and the other one for religious purposes (Huaca de la Luna). This site is one of the most representatives of the Mochica culture and its nucleus, located between the two huacas, truly shows the advanced level of organization that they had.
The first, Huaca del Sol, is a pyramid-shaped building with a height of forty-three meters with five stories. It was used for political and administrative purposes but also as the home to those who were powerful in the Mochica culture. This huaca was partially destroyed by the Spanish and unfortunately, not much has been restored of it.
The second huaca, Huaca de la Luna, is located about 500 meters from Huaca del Sol, and its temples were built during different time periods. Its highest platform is decorated by human figures. To the Mochica people, it was a great honour to be sacrificed and many human remains, mainly belonging to sacrificed warriors, were found in the temples. On the façade, many figures of deities can be seen, most of which represents water and fertility and all of them have animal heads.
Huaca de la Luna holds many interesting murals depicting Ai apaec, the beheading god. These murals were painted with basic colours that were obtained from local minerals.

Re: meaning that is age appropriate

Hi Kara. I think that as soon as you start teaching art to children, be it
4 or 5 years old, they can begin looking for meaning in art works. Of
course the dialouge has to be developementally appropriate. I choose to
begin with just a little talking the first times I introduce my students to
a work of art. This is usually about 5 yrs. old. I may tell them the name
of the artist and where he lived / lives, sometimes describing that place a
little if I think it reflects someting that is important to the children.
Like about sunny southern France where Van Gogh painted so much. I believe
that the children must so to speak enter the artwork, or experience it.
Then it is easier for them to understand and form their own thoughts about
it. So my job as a teacher is to help them get this connection and it can
be done in many ways. For example a classroom full of yellow flowers in
vases makes a connection with Van Gog´s Sunflowers easier as does a trip to
the forest and a walk by and over a small stream in the fall possible give
students better understanding of Monet paintings of the Japanese
bridge.Well this is getting long hope it helps, regards from the far north,


Hamilton County, Ohio
From Radioactive Waste to Wildlife Habitat
When production ended at a uranium processing facility in 1989, plans were made to clean up the contaminated site. The result is Fernald Preserve. Environmental restoration focused on improving water bodies and reintroducing native plants. The preserve’s 1050 acres of wetlands, forests, savannas, and grasslands now attract a variety of wildlife, including over 245 bird species. Fernald has a visitor center and seven miles of trails.
A quarter-mile paved handicapped-accessible trail leads to a platform overlooking a pond, wetlands, and prairie.
Protected by U.S. Department of Energy
One of the largest cleanups undertaken by the US government at that time, Fernald shows how a heavily contaminated industrial site can become a wildlife habitat. The Department of Energy’s Office of Legacy Management oversees operation and maintenance of the preserve.Currently, a volunteer support program is in development. Interested persons may contact the visitors center at fernald@LM.doe.gov or 513-648-3330.

The Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew has its roots in Anglo-Saxon times. The first abbey was established at Peterborough (originally called Medeshamstede) in 655 AD and largely destroyed by Viking raiders in 870. In the mid 10th century a Benedictine Abbey was created from what remained. Some buildings were destroyed in Hereward the Wake's resistance to the Norman Conquest in 1069, but the church survived until an accidental fire swept through it in 1116. The present building was begun in 1118, consecrated in 1238 and the structure of the building remains essentially as it was on completion. Most significantly the original wooden ceiling survives in the nave, the only one of its type in this country and one of only four wooden ceilings of this period surviving in the whole of Europe, having been completed between 1230 and 1250. There is some fine 16th century fan vaulting at the east end of the church. Peterborough grew to be a wealthy monastic house, with 120 monks just before it was dissolved in 1539. However, the abbey church survived as Peterborough Cathedral. Parliamentary troops caused damage to glass and monuments during the Civil War. Two queens were buried in the Cathedral, Katherine of Aragon and Mary Queen of Scots: however, in 1612, James I/VI had his mother re-buried in Westminster and her grave is now empty.


Combination topical otic preparations are used to treat many infections of the external and middle ears. Despite the presence of ototoxic drugs in a number of these drops and convincing evidence of sensorineural hearing loss in humans and animal studies (Meyerhoff et al., presented at Southern Section Triological Meeting, Jan. 1983) following use of these medications, otic drops remain the cornerstone of treatment for many infectious disorders of the ear. Twelve chinchillas underwent bilateral tympanostomy tube placement and daily instillation of Cortisporin Otic Suspension (polymyxin B, neomycin, hydrocortisone, propylene glycol) in the right external auditory canal for 7 consecutive days. The animals were sacrificed 3 days later, 10 days following initiation of the Cortisporin Otic Suspension treatment. Following routine preparation of the temporal bones for light microscopy, the tissue was evaluated for evidence of inflammatory changes. All 12 animals demonstrated granulation tissue, effusion and focal hemorrhage in the ears subjected to the Cortisporin Otic Suspension. All of the contralateral control ears were normal. The present data suggest that this inflammatory response is due to a topical irritant effect of the otic preparation.

To go along with our solid shapes unit, we always make "My Solid Shapes Book"! These are easy to make, and the kids really learn a lot from it.
To make, each student will need 8"x11" sheets of paper. They will need half the amount of pages their book will have. For an example, the solid shapes book above has 7 pages, so it required 4 sheets of 8"x11" paper. If the book being made has an odd number of pages, just double that amount, and you'll end up cutting half of a page off.
Okay, then, just lay the sheets on top of each other, spacing them out evenly for the titles. Then, fold the bundle of paper in half and staple together. As I mentioned above, if you have an odd number of pages, just cut one sheet off and re-staple!
We always make these books together. After putting the book together, the kids label each page. Then, one at a time, they write two sentences on each page. For solid shapes, the sentence format my kids follow is "A (name of shape) has __ faces, __ edges, and __ verticies. A (example of shape) is a (name of shape)." Then, I guide them through how to draw the solid shape. Last, but not least, they draw at least two examples of the shape.
Finally, kids color their books! You may decide to keep the books in the classroom for a week or so for the kids to read independently and to you/an assistant/volunteer.
It takes some time to make these books, at least for the younger kids and the first book. The more of these you make, the easier it gets. Usually, I dedicate twenty/thirty minutes a day working on these, and it takes a few days. I think it's totally worth it though because my kids always know their solid shapes and all the facts about each shape! I have had my kids put together the books themselves, and I have also pre-made the books before giving them out. It just depends on your class!

By far the brightest of the planets is Venus, the "Evening Star." Dimmer Saturn has been closing in on it from the upper left, while Mercury has been closing in on Venus from the lower right. All three planets fit within a circle 5° wide from June 22nd through 29th. They form a remarkably tight bunch on June 25th and 26th, fitting within a 2° circle (about the size of your thumb held at arm's length). This is the best "trio" of planets until at least the year 2030, based on brightness, closeness, and ease of visibility.
After that, Saturn gets lower every day and sinks out of sight, while Venus and Mercury remain closely paired into the first week of July. The crescent Moon will hang with Mercury and Venus on July 8th. Meanwhile, the background stars Pollux and Castor add to the scene, though for these binoculars may be required.
A fourth bright planet is also in evening view, very far off to the upper left of the group of three. This is Jupiter, shining brilliantly high in the southwest (not shown here). Aside from Venus, it's the brightest point of light in the sky — and very easy to spot.
That makes four of the five classical naked-eye planets visible at dusk. The fifth, Mars, is visible before and during dawn, shining orange in the southeastern sky.
All the evening planets appear about the same distance away as you watch them in the deepening dusk, but of course this is an illusion. Mercury is roughly 90 million miles away (its distance changes rapidly); Venus is about 140 million miles away, and Saturn is 930 million miles — about 10 times farther than Mercury. Jupiter is about 500 million miles away.
Such big distances are better expressed by how long it takes light to cross them. Mercury is about 8 light-minutes distant, Venus is about 12 light-minutes away, and Saturn is 85 light-minutes from us. Jupiter is 45 light-minutes distant. By comparison, the stars Pollux and Castor, in the constellation Gemini, are 34 and 52 light-years away, respectively.


Elderly and the young will be the most affected
Air and water quality will suffer
Malnutrition cases will increase
NEW DELHI: The World Health Organisation (WHO) is placing health at the centre of global dialogue by making it the theme of the World Health Day, April 7.
This follows an overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is happening and is human induced, making it one of the most critical challenges of our time.
If the increase in greenhouse emissions continues at the current pace, air quality will suffer greatly and respiratory illnesses will worsen. Lack of safe water will most probably trigger outbreaks of diarrhoea and other food and water-borne diseases.
Projecting the risks associated with climate change in 2030, the WHO estimates that the number of malnutrition cases will increase by more than 10 per cent.
Climate-sensitive diseases such as dengue and malaria are estimated to increase in terms of geographical distribution and incidence. Higher minimum temperatures will allow many disease vectors to thrive, leading to new risks in regions where they were previously less significant.
The people in the greatest danger include the very young, the elderly and the medically frail. Low-income countries and areas where malnutrition is widespread, education is poor and infrastructure weak will have the most difficulty adapting to climate change and related health hazards. The WHO estimates that warming and precipitation trends due to anthropogenic climate change currently claims over 1,60,000 lives a year.
The WHO and its partners in countries will enhance public education and awareness of the linkages between climate change and human health. Early alert systems for heat waves, other impending weather extremes and outbreaks of infectious diseases will be strengthened. Robuster disaster preparedness, enhanced infectious disease control programmes and improved surveillance will be part of the health sector’s response.


Teacher Perspectives on Accelerating Learning, Leadership, and Innovation in the Pandemic
Posted by Teach Plus on October 13, 2020
As the COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures for millions of students across the country, teachers have shown that they are so much more than deliverers of content.
They build trusted relationships with students and families. They identify what inspires each student, leveraging the science of learning to invest in the whole child. They identify what works, and lead transformation in their schools, districts, and states. They leverage technology, creative student groupings, and blended learning to personalize instruction to maximize the potential of each individual learner. They are lowering barriers and building and strengthening bridges to students, families, and one another.
“Barriers to Bridges: Teacher Perspectives on Accelerating Learning, Leadership, and Innovation in the Pandemic” examines the frontline experiences of educators during the COVID-19 pandemic and provides recommendations for education leaders and policymakers based on teachers’ guidance and input. The report is based on the feedback from 532 teachers in 152 virtual focus groups held across 25 states.

I knew it that I would not be able to make the hypothesis for my study. I was doing so well in my research, but then this hypothesis came and destroyed everything, my motivation, my hard work everything, I am fed up. Please tell me how to make a hypothesis? How many hypothesis should a study have?
A hypothesis is a specific statement of prediction. It describes in concrete terms what you expect will happen in your study. Not all studies have hypotheses. Sometimes a study is designed to be exploratory. There is no formal hypothesis, and perhaps the purpose of the study is to explore some area more thoroughly to develop some specific hypothesis or prediction that can be tested in future research. A single study may have one or many hypotheses.
No. of hypothesis depends on the objective of your study. It is never specified.
The hypothesis is a clear statement of what is intended to be investigated. It should be specified before research is conducted and openly stated in reporting the results.
It allows to:
Identify the research objectives
Identify the critical abstract concepts involved in the research
Identify its relationship to both the problem statement and the literature review


Planting roses in a pot
If you leave in a flat, but still want to enjoy the beauty of garden roses, don’t despair. You can still have potted roses in your home. Here are a few tips on how to plant and grow pot roses.
Because roses can grow larger roots, they will need to be planted in larger pots, that are about 14-16 inches in diameter. Smaller pots will cause problems with the watering and the root system.
It what concerns the soil, you should use high quality artificial soil because it retains the water much better than common soil. The roses will also need to be watered daily. To feed the roses, you should use a liquid fertilizer once a month.
Caring for the roses
It’s important to stimulate the growth of the plants. one way to do this is by pruning the roses when it’s necessary. It is also important to watch out for insects and fungus. These two pests can cause serious harm to the plant.
In the winter, it’s best to keep them in a temperate room and add plenty of mulch to feed the rose and keep it strong.

The tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) is the most significant fruit tree crop in Utah, accounting for roughly 51% of the total statewide commercial fruit acreage. In order to accommodate harvesting equipment, tart cherries are grown in conventional orchards with large trees spaced up to 5.5 meters apart. New methods of harvest are adapted to smaller trees in tighter spaced high density (HD) orchards. HD orchards bear fruit earlier in the orchard life than conventional orchards, but likely require different pruning and management strategies, which have not yet been determined for tart cherry. Experimental HD orchards were used to determine the type of renewal pruning cuts to maintain orchard productivity, and to determine whether mechanical pruning (hedging) could be used to maintain tree size. It was found that when removing branches during pruning, leaving the branch stub at least 10 cm long greatly increases the likelihood of getting adequate renewal growth. Mechanical hedging at bloom or 45 days after bloom did not change yields or fruit quality when applied to a well-pruned and maintained orchard. Spray pattern analysis in these canopies suggested that hedging creates a more consistent canopy density than unhedged HD canopies. This research provides distinct guidelines on renewal pruning of tart cherry to maintain productivity, and shows that mechanical hedging strategies can be a viable option for maintaining tree size in HD plantings without increasing pruning costs.

Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary
In employment law, facts the employer learns after firing an employee for which the employer would have fired the employee anyway. After-acquired evidence may be used as a defense to a wrongful termination lawsuit or to limit the damages available to an employee who was wrongfully fired. For example, an employer may discover, after illegally firing an employee because of his age, that the employee stole from the employer. The employer may use this evidence to limit its damages for lost wages in an age discrimination lawsuit to what the employee would have earned between the time he was fired and the time the employer would have discovered his theft and fired him absent any age discrimination.


The lotus plant comes from India originally. Over the course of 2,000 years however, it was transported to other countries from Egypt to China. The seeds of the lotus are known to benefit the kidneys, heart, and spleen.(1) There is an enzyme in lotus seeds that inhibits aging called l-isoaspartyl methyltransferase; it repairs damaged proteins.(2) The nourishing properties of lotus seeds are recommended for those who have poor digestion, suffer from diarrhea, low body weight, insomnia, agitation, and frequent urination.
Here at Acupuncture Atlanta, we carry Lotus 9 by Seven Forests. This product is used to promote digestion, drain dampness, and calm agitation. In addition to the benefits listed above, this product is also suitable for people who have inadequate nutrition or have gone through immense weight loss; like anorexia nervosa, for example. It’s also helpful for treating those who are super sensitive to foods and to their environments as well.

Russian language proverbs are words of wisdom created in Slavic languages by Slavic peoples. The proverbs originated from oral history and ancient written texts dating as far back as the 12th century. The Russian language is replete with many hundreds of proverbs (пословица [pɐˈslovʲɪtsə]) and sayings (поговоркa [pəɡɐˈvorkə]). The proverbs express a universal concept, have a moral lesson and provide an insight into many aspects of history, culture, and national character of the people who created them. By the 17th century, the proverbs were collected and documented. They were studied in the 19th and 20th centuries. Vladimir Dal was a famous lexicographer of the Russian Empire whose collection was published in Russian language in the late 19th century as The Sayings and Bywords of the Russian People, featuring more than 30,000 entries. They continue to endure in modern literature and folklore. Evidence of this is seen in the collection of Russian anti-proverbs collected by Reznikov.
Origin of Russian language proverbs
Russian became a full-fledged literary language in the 18th century in Eastern Europe, when it finally displaced Church Slavonic language. Russian language proverbs were first collected and documented during the Russian Empire from the oral history of many different cultures and nationalities.
The Russian Empire included parts of:
Under the unification of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1991, Russian language continued to be the official and dominant language, displacing the languages of the fifteen Republics of the Soviet Union. Today, the Commonwealth of Independent States continues to use Russian language as their working language.

Promoting British Values at The Abbey CE VA Primary School
The Department for Education have reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.” We have a statement about each of these British Values on our school website.
Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our School Council, Green Council and Faith Council and regular pupil questionnaires. The elections of these Councils each year are based solely on pupil votes and children in Year 1-6 can stand for election for these posts. Two representatives are voted for by their class for each Council. Children have to prepare a short speech to the class to explain why they would be a strong representative and what ideas they have. The teachers have a record of prior Council membership, but not all children want to stand for election and this has to be respected. Children are not allowed to stand for the same Council two years in a row.
The democratically elected children will then be awarded their enamelled Council badges and I am sure they will bring many interesting and sensible suggestions from their classes. The School Council will meet with the headteacher at least twice a term to discuss issues and ideas to improve Abbey School. Katie Wright, Chair of the Governing Body, is looking forward to meeting the children to listen to their thoughts and ideas.
Two pupils from years 1 to 6 are democratically elected to the School Council each year. The Council meets each half term with the Headteacher to discuss school issues. Council members seek the views of their classmates and these are brought back to council meetings. All children within the school know that they have a voice and that their views are listened to. This helps to develop their sense of community and responsibility.


Visual influences on auditory spatial learning.
The visual and auditory systems frequently work together to facilitate the identification and localization of objects and events in the external world. Experience plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining congruent visual-auditory associations, so that the different sensory cues associated with targets that can be both seen and heard are synthesized appropriately. For stimulus location, visual information is normally more accurate and reliable and provides a reference for calibrating the perception of auditory space. During development, vision plays a key role in aligning neural representations of space in the brain, as revealed by the dramatic changes produced in auditory responses when visual inputs are altered, and is used throughout life to resolve short-term spatial conflicts between these modalities. However, accurate, and even supra-normal, auditory localization abilities can be achieved in the absence of vision, and the capacity of the mature brain to relearn to localize sound in the presence of substantially altered auditory spatial cues does not require visuomotor feedback. Thus, while vision is normally used to coordinate information across the senses, the neural circuits responsible for spatial hearing can be recalibrated in a vision-independent fashion. Nevertheless, early multisensory experience appears to be crucial for the emergence of an ability to match signals from different sensory modalities and therefore for the outcome of audiovisual-based rehabilitation of deaf patients in whom hearing has been restored by cochlear implantation.


As California contemplates a statewide ban on retailers offering free single-use bags, at least three stores in the Golden State already enforce such a policy. Walmart stores in Sacramento and Ukiah stopped offering single-use bags to shoppers in October, as reported by Triple Pundit.
The company as a whole has committed to reducing plastic bag waste by 33 percent per store by 2013. The pilot program at these three stores allows consumers to either bring in their own reusable bags or buy a reusable bag for either 15 cents or 50 cents, depending on size.
If passed, California's bag law would be implemented differently than Walmart's policy. It would ban retailers from giving out single-use plastic bags, but they would still be able to offer single-use paper bags at a fee of at least 5 cents per bag.
The bill justifies the continued use of paper bags, provided they are made of 40 percent recycled content, because they "are a high value recyclable collected in every curbside and community recycling program in California."
Another area where Walmart and the state law will differ is that California requires that any reusable bags being sold are designed and manufactured for at least 100 uses, and Walmart's bags are said to last about 75 uses.
While AB 1998 has received opposition over fears that reusable bags can transfer bacteria from items such as meat to other foods, the law does make a point to exclude single-use bags from anything "used to protect a purchased item from damaging or contaminating other purchased items when placed in a recycled paper bag or reusable bag," as well as for bagging medications. In these cases, single-use packaging could still be used.
If California's law is passed, it won't take effect until 2012, but it would also remove the requirement that grocery stores offer plastic bag recycling containers. This could make it more of a challenge for residents that still have bags to find recycling options, since they typically aren't collected in curbside programs.


How to Identify Datura
Datura (Datura spp.), also known as angel's trumpet and thorn apple, is an easy-to-care-for plant grown as a tender perennial in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 though 10; however, it is commonly grown as an annual outside its hardiness zone. Datura is often used in borders and container plants. It is easily recognized by its long, white blooms, bluish foliage and unusual seed pods.
Datura produces 4- to 8-inch-long, white trumpet-shaped flowers that may be tinged with pale lavender. Plants bloom during summer. They are bushy and grow 3 to 5 feet tall with ovate bluish-green foliage. While most Datura species produce white blooms, they can also produce lavender, yellow and red blooms. Depending on species, the blooms may be single, double or even triple. All parts of Datura are toxic and should not be consumed.
Spent flowers leave behind a burr-covered, walnut-sized seed pod that contains numerous black, kidney-shaped seeds. Seed pods are green early on, but turn brown as they ripen. Plants often self-seed, and plants grown from seed will flower in 14 weeks in ideal growing conditions, which includes full sun, rich moist soil and warm temperatures. Datura plants do tolerate poor soil when kept watered during dry spells.

The economic relationship between the U.S. and China during the 1940s has long been neglected, with few scholarly works focusing on the period. This era was overshadowed by the political and diplomatic changes during and after the failure of the Nationalists in 1949. Without a close and insightful look into the reconstruction of China with American involvement during the late 1940s, one cannot identify the problems which led to the Nationalists' failure, nor can one answer the questions dealing with the impact of American economic policy toward China during that time.

Study Links Menstrual Cycle, Concussion Outcomes in Women
What part of your head was hit and how hard? Did you pass out? When was your last period?
Asking about menstruation may be surprising, but new research shows that a woman’s monthly cycle plays an important role in how well she bounces back after a concussion.
For years, coaches and doctors have noticed gender differences in recovery; women have more symptoms and take longer to recuperate than men. A study by concussion expert Jeffrey Bazarian, M.D., M.P.H. suggests that a sudden drop in the hormone progesterone, which is known to have a calming effect on the brain and on mood, is a big reason for the discrepancy.
Researchers believe that women hit in the head during the two weeks leading up to their period, when progesterone is highest, experience a steep decline. This drop, or withdrawal, causes women to feel worse and experience lingering symptoms such as headaches and nausea. In contrast, women injured during the two weeks directly after their period, when progesterone is already low, don’t experience a dramatic drop and have a better recovery. Similarly, men, who have low pre-injury levels of progesterone, would not be affected by a change in the hormone.
Bazarian’s study of 144 women ages 18 to 60 who experienced a head hit showed that this hypothesis is right on target. If confirmed, the findings could help doctors identify patients who might need more aggressive monitoring or treatment. It would also allow doctors to counsel women that they’re more – or less – likely to feel poorly because of their menstrual phase.

The Tale of the Rooster
This is the tale of the Chinese emperor and a painting of a rooster.
Once upon a time, there was an emperor who was extremely fond of roosters, and so one day he commissioned the most famous painter in all his realm to paint him a picture of a rooster. The painter replied that it would take him three years to accomplish this. The emperor was secretly rather annoyed, but in the end he agreed.
When the three years came to an end, the emperor summoned the painter, but on seeing that he was empty-handed impatiently demanded: "What about my painting of a rooster?" The painter remained perfectly calm, took up a piece of paper right where he stood, and started to paint. The brush flew across the page, the ink danced. With apparent ease, he produced the lifelike image of a rooster, capturing its very essence. It took him less than three minutes to complete. On seeing this, the emperor was furious and could stand it no longer: "Have you been deliberately deceiving your king? Is this some act of rebellion? It took you just three minutes to paint that picture; why did you make me wait three whole years?" To which the painter replied: "Sire, first please calm your fury; and when you have done so, follow me and see for yourself."
The painter led the emperor to a large house and opened the door, and on looking inside, the emperor realized that the house was filled to the roof with sketches of roosters. Then the painter spoke: "These are my efforts of the last three whole years. Without those three years of labour how could I possibly have produced that perfect rooster for you in less than three minutes?"

COVID-19 has emerged as one of the most infectious members of the coronavirus family, having killed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Most countries have now head to deal with thousands of cases and are now endeavouring to reduce transmission in any meaningful way, with some surprise solutions surfacing. Can mouthwash reduce coronavirus transmission? Many people in the UK are currently running low on soap and hand sanitiser, with most shops still running low due to COVID-19. As such, people have turned to some bizarre methods of virus protection, including making their own hand wash with household products.
Now, scientists are investigating as to whether mouthwash could disrupt the virus. READ MORE: Angela Merkel crisis as Germany scrambles to fill €100bn black hole


Elihu Thomson Quotes
If the question were, "What ought to be the next objective in science?" my answer would be the teaching of science to the young, so that when the whole population grew up there would be a far more general background of common sense, based on a knowledge of the real meaning of the scientific method of discovering truth.
The so-called ‘crank’ may be quite original in his ideas. … Invention, however, in the engineering sense involves originality; but not that alone, if the results are to be of value. There is imagination more or less fertile, but with it a knowledge of what has been done before, carried perhaps by the memory, together with a sense of the present or prospective needs in art or industry. Necessity is not always the mother of invention. It may be prevision.
Shall an invention be patented or donated to the public freely? I have known some well-meaning scientific men to look askance at the patenting of inventions, as if it were a rather selfish and ungracious act, essentially unworthy. The answer is very simple. Publish an invention freely, and it will almost surely die from lack of interest in its development. It will not be developed and the world will not be benefited. Patent it, and if valuable, it will be taken up and developed into a business.

Welcome to first installment of our ‘Busting Common Car Myths’ series, where we’ll be examining popular car myths and testing their accuracy.
Myth: “Turning off a car then restarting it wastes much more gas than letting it idle for a few minutes.”
It seems possible. When starting your car, who knows how much fuel is wasted turning over the engine, compared to the fuel used while idling? If you were awake that day in high school physics, you may remember the concept of static friction, which says that it takes more energy to begin to move an object than it does to sustain that motion. (That’s why it’s very difficult to start pushing a refrigerator, but as soon as it starts moving, the job is suddenly easier.) So why can’t the same idea apply to engines starting?
The truth is, idling your vehicle for 10 seconds burns more fuel than restarting your car. As a general rule, you should turn off your vehicle if you plan to be stopped for more than 10 seconds – except in traffic of course.
Check back soon for part two, where we’ll discuss whether coasting down hills in neutral really saves gas. And if you have a car myth of your own, let us know in the comments section – we may just answer it here.


The fourth dimension is time, shape shifting in fact, and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) at the University of Wollongong (UOW) is helping to set the pace in the next revolution in additive manufacturing.
Just as the extraordinary capabilities of 3D printing have begun to infiltrate industry and the family home, researchers have started to develop 3D printed materials that morph into new structures, post production, under the influence of external stimuli such as water or heat -- hence the name, 4D printing.
So, as in 3D printing, a structure is built up layer by layer into the desired shape, but these new materials are able to transform themselves from one shape into another, much like a child's Transformer toy.
ACES Professor Marc in het Panhuis said it was the cleverness of the valve's creation that was remarkable.
"The cool thing about it is, is it's a working functioning device that you just pick up from the printer," he said. "There's no other assembly required."
The ACES Chief Investigator said the ACES group was the first to combine printing a 4D device with four different cartridges simultaneously, while using tough gels with the incorporated actuating materials.

Both in class and personality, Theseus and Bottom are polar opposities.
First of all, Bottom is a manual laborer. He speaks in verse and spends his days working with his hands, while Theseus is a Duke who does very little manual work. He does the thinking and the ruling while his servants do the work.
Personality-wise, Bottom is arrogant, emotional and has a big ego. He fights for the limelight on stage and wants the attention strictly to feed his own selfish ambitions. Theseus, on the other hand, is confident but not cocky. He has center stage, but not by fighting for it. He has it because he is a wise ruler who looks out for the people.
Finally, the two charaters have very different love lives. Bottom achieves love throught the magic of Oberon. Theseus grabs his love by kidnapping the queen of the Amazons after a battle in a foreign land.

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is a representative crop in dryland agriculture and has been cultivated for over 10,000 years. Wild broomcorn millet, widely distributed in fields alongside the cultivated broomcorn millet and in woodland edges and grasslands across Eurasia, plays a crucial role in studies of broomcorn millet origin and domestication history. This review summarizes the research progresses achieved in China in germplasm collection and conservation, identification and evaluation, and genetic diversity analysis of wild broomcorn millet, and in the relationship between the wild broomcorn millet and cultivated broomcorn millet, and proposes further project development and the core mission of collection, utilization and research of wild broomcorn millet resources in China.


Once upon a time, I chanced upon an old microbiology book that detailed the rather colorful world of enterobacteria. Salmonella in particular stood out, as it seemed there were a lot of species: typhi / typhosa, paratyphi, gallinarum, typhimurium, choleraesuis, and quite a bunch of others that I have now forgotten.
Flipping through a newer book, it now seems that all of these "species" were collated under choleraesuis (and now more recently enterica), with all those species being demoted to "strains" (or maybe I should use the current term of art, "serovar"). Unfortunately, the book didn't give much in the way of explaining about this merger.
So, why is there now only S. enterica? If "S. typhi" is a mere serovar, how come the species name is still used in the literature?


OK, Pesach is over for us here in Israel; it’s still happening if you keep to the second day of chag in ch”ool (chootz la’aretz – outside “the land,” i.e., Israel). So, this is still relevant – if only as something to think about for next year – the Shalom Hartman Institute’s A Different Night: The Family Participation Haggadah, authored by Noam Zion and David Dishon. I can’t tell you how many people I know use it – as well as the all-Hebrew version (slightly different) developed recently by Zion and his son Meshael.
Marc Aronson of School Library Journal made a point of mentioning the Family haggadah in his recent post, “Passover and History: The Many Meanings of Past and Present.” Aronson wrote: “I love it because it offers so many pathways through the holiday, so many ways of thinking about it and doing it.”
Southern New Jersey newspaper, Jewish Community Voice, also mentions the haggadah in its Pesach editorial, “Passover reminds us that freedom brings responsibility.”


Growing into a fully formed human being is a long process, and scientists have found that unborn babies not only hiccup, swallow and stretch in the womb, they yawn too.
Researchers who studied 4D scans of 15 healthy fetuses also said they think yawning is a developmental process which could potentially give doctors a new way to check on a baby’s health.
While some scientists have previously suggested that fetuses yawn, others disagree and say it is nothing more than a developing baby opening and stretching its mouth.
But writing in the journal PLOS ONE on Wednesday, British researchers said their study was able to clearly distinguish yawning from “non-yawn mouth opening” based on how long the mouth was open.
The researchers did this by using 4D video footage to examine all the times when fetuses opened their mouths.
Nadja Reissland of Durham University’s department of Psychology, who led the study, said the function and importance of yawning in fetuses is still unknown, but the findings suggest it may be linked to fetal development and could provide a further indication of the health of the unborn baby. …

After Abraham died, his son Isaac lived in the land of Canaan. Like his father, Isaac had his home in a tent; around him were the tents of his people, and many flocks of sheep and herds of cattle feeding wherever they could find grass to eat and water to drink.
Isaac and his wife Rebekah had two children. The older was named Esau and the younger Jacob.
Esau was a man of the woods and very fond of hunting; and he was rough and covered with hair.
Jacob was quiet and thoughtful, staying at home, dwelling in a tent, and caring for the flocks of his father.
Isaac loved Esau more than Jacob, because Esau brought to his father that which he had killed in his hunting; but Rebekah liked Jacob, because she saw that he was wise and careful in his work.
Among the people in those lands, when a man dies, his older son receives twice as much as the younger of what the father has owned. This was called his "birthright," for it was his right as the oldest born. So Esau, as the older, had a "birthright" to more of Isaac's possessions than Jacob. And besides this, there was the privilege of the promise of God that the family of Isaac should receive great blessings.


Online resources are a big part of school these days and essential to online schooling as they are the only way to do research without physically traveling to a library of some kind. Stevens-Henagar College has quite a bit of resources available for online research. Two of those resources are ProQuest and SmartThinking. Both are very good resources although different in how to use them.
ProQuest is basically an archive of many different kinds of information. ProQuest allows users to search for articles using two different search types: Basic or Advanced. To search for articles, type either a phrase or an individual word in the search box and click the Search button. ProQuest can be used to search for anything and as long as it’s in the database, results will come up. It can be used to search for history, or ways to better someone’s current educational experience, and even to help to help find a job after graduation by locating jobs that are hiring or looking for a specific talent.
SmartThinking is an online tutoring service that provides research related and personalized tutoring to help improve learning and for all students, and overall help improve student how students succeed. SmartThinking provides tutoring in mathematics, writing, biology, chemistry and more. When using SmartThinking a student can submit questions about such subjects, connect in live tutoring sessions, and Send in samples of their writing to be reviewed and sent back to them for correction before its due date.

|Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Media Access Control (MAC) Security
|WORKING GROUP 802.1
IEEE 802 Local Area Networks (LANs) are deployed in networks that support mission-critical applications and a wide variety of devices, implemented and administered by different organizations, and serving customers with different economic interests. The protocols that configure, manage, and regulate access to these networks typically run over the networks themselves. Preventing disruption and data loss arising from transmission and reception by unauthorized devices is a required network capability, as it is usually not practical to secure an entire network against physical access.
This standard (MACsec) specifies provision of connectionless user data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authenticity by media access independent protocols and entities that operate transparently to MAC Clients. The MACsec Key Agreement Protocol (MKA) specified in IEEE Std 802.1X discovers mutually authenticated MACsec peers, and elects one as a Key Server that distributes the symmetric Secure Association Keys (SAKs) used by MACsec to protect frames.
The first edition of IEEE Std 802.1AE was published in 2006. IEEE Std 802.1AEbn-2011 added the GCM-AES-256 Cipher Suite as a option. IEEE Std 802.1AEbw-2013 added extended packet numbering Cipher Suites, allowing more than 232 frames to be protected with a single Secure Association Key (SAK). IEEE-Std 802.1AEcg-2017 specified Ethernet Data Encryption devices (EDEs) that provide transparent secure connectivity while supporting provider network service selection and provider backbone network selection as specified in IEEE Std 802.1Q. IEEE-Std 802.1AEcg-2017 also specified transmission using multiple secure channels (SCs) for strict replay protection when frames of different priorities can be disordered, e.g. by a Provider Bridged Network (PBN) or IEEE Std 802.3 frame preemption, and described how MKA supports those multiple transmit SCs.


ATOMIC: An Atlas of Machine Commonsense for If-Then Reasoning
We present ATOMIC, an atlas of everyday commonsense reasoning, organized through 877k textual descriptions of inferential knowledge. Compared to existing resources that center around taxonomic knowledge, ATOMIC focuses on inferential knowledge organized as typed if-then relations with variables (e.g., “if X pays Y a compliment, then Y will likely return the compliment”). We propose nine if-then relation types to distinguish causes vs. effects, agents vs. themes, voluntary vs. involuntary events, and actions vs. mental states. By generatively training on the rich inferential knowledge described in ATOMIC, we show that neural models can acquire simple commonsense capabilities and reason about previously unseen events. Experimental results demonstrate that multitask models that incorporate the hierarchical structure of if-then relation types lead to more accurate inference compared to models trained in isolation, as measured by both automatic and human evaluation.


Expert Medical Witness Law and Legal Definition
An expert medical witness is a physician qualified, by reason of his skill, knowledge, education, experience, or training to testify on a particular medical area. He is a person who has knowledge about the medical and health care profession, beyond that of an average person.
A qualified medical expert witness can offer an opinion about the medical issue related to the case. The opinion is generally rendered during the discovery stage of trial. As a general rule, witnesses are not allowed to offer opinions about the facts at hand. However, medical expert opinions are an exception to this general rule.
Medical expert witnesses are frequently called to testify in civil and criminal cases. They often testify in cases relating to worker’s compensation, abortion, medical malpractice, and compensation and pension claims. Additionally, they may be hired to testify at arbitration, mediation, or negotiation proceedings.
A person can testify as a medical expert only after his/her credentials is established before the court. An attorney can establish the credentials of the medical expert by asking the witness questions about his or her education, training, skills, and experience within a particular field. Once the required qualifications for a expert witness status has been established, a judge will qualify the witness as an expert. Most expert witnesses must be paid to testify on behalf of one of the parties. There may be more than one medical expert witness in a case.


T is for Tombs (or Pyramids)
OK, so I'm being a little cheeky with this one, but the pyramids were built to be tombs, so I figure it's allowed.
|Taken from here|
- The tombs were designed to protect the Pharaoh's mummified body, and the belongings he would need for the afterlife.
- Many of the pyramids are on the western side of the Nile, just into the desert. This made it easier to get the blocks to the pyramid using the river.
- Other ancient civilisations built pyramids (the Mayans, for example) but the ancient Egyptian ones are the most well known.
- Ancient Egyptian pyramids often contain multiple chambers and passageways, including storage rooms and courtyards. Many also had traps designed to catch tomb robbers.
- Tomb robbers targeted many of the royal tombs, and most were robbed eventually. One tomb left largely intact was the tomb of Tutankhamun, which was located in the Valley of the Kings.
- Pyramid construction was abandoned during the Middle Kingdom, as pyramids were too easy for tomb robbers to find.
- Cities known as 'pyramid cities' grew around pyramids during their construction. There lived the people whose job it was to build the pyramids. These cities still existed after the pyramid was built.


On a chilly winter day, it's natural for your horse's coat to seem a bit "puffier" than normal. When he gets chilled, the hypothalamus, the primary control center for thermoregulation located deep within the brain, triggers the contraction of the smooth muscle that attaches to the lowest point of each hair follicle. As a result, each hair straightens up and stands on end. This extra fluffy coat creates a large insulating pocket of air right next to the skin. The same reaction, called piloerection, is what causes goose bumps in humans.
Keep all of this in mind if you decide to blanket your horse this winter. A lightweight blanket will simply press the hair down and eliminate the coat's ability to hold and heat air, without adding any warmth. Either opt for a heavier blanket or, if your horse's natural winter coat is thick, leave him without a blanket as long as he has adequate shelter.
A fluffy coat is not to be confused with one that is "staring," however. Horses who are suffering from a systemic illness can have a coat that appears to stand on end. This is caused by poor circulation and a lack of oils in the skin, resulting in dandruff and scurf. If your horse has a staring coat, call your veterinarian.

I love growing corn. Breaking off a fresh cob from its stalk is a wonderful feeling. Eating it is even better. I grow mine using organic methods, planting by seed in my backyard vegetable garden. This is a tough vegetable and can be planted in new areas that have not been cultivated before. It will survive where many other vegetables will not. Here are some free vegetable gardening tips I have put together to help your grow your own.
Botanical Family - Poaceae/Grass Family
Location - Well drained, sunny hillside.
Soil - Fertile, medium loam, not overly rich. Soil should contain calcium; if lacking add lime.
Soil Preparation - Dig in 1 inch of
or aged manure before planting.
Planting times - Sow direct at the end of May (or when the weather is warm; nighttime temperatures at least 12 C). Do succession planting every 2-3 weeks if you have large area. Can be transplanted.
Planting Instruction - Hand seed, or use a hand seeder. Plant soybeans between corn plants once they are a foot high.
Watering - Water regularly, if sprinkling, make sure soil is well watered.
Weeding - Keep free of weeds until plants are knee high, then leave alone.
Disease & Insects - Use 4 year rotation, compost stalks.
Harvest - Once the cob is falling away from the stalk it is ready to harvest. Pull the cob downward and twist until it breaks away form the stalk.
Storage - Keep in their husks and refrigerator as soon as possible after picking or purchasing to delay the conversion of its sugars to starch. It is best used within a few days for best taste. Can be frozen and will keep for several months in the freezer.


a1 Goshen College, Indiana
On 16 April 1697 King William III of England gave his Royal Assent to a Bill just passed by his Whiggish Parliament, thereby making illegal a custom of very long standing in the history of English law and convention. During the Middle Ages the practice of imprisonment for debt had come into being through statutory enactments and through judicial procedure; parallel to it had grown the use of so-called ‘privileged places’, refuges to which delinquent debtors could flee and evade arrest for debt. While imprisonment for debt persisted as a legal process in England until the middle of the nineteenth century, sanctuary for debtors was legally abolished by this Act of 1697. That this Act was passed by a Whig-dominated Parliament is not without significance, for a substantial element in the Whig Party was the mercantile interest, the group most likely to suffer damage by the flight of debtors to these places of refuge.


1867 – Waterhouse’s Design for Royal Courts of Justice, London
When the public exhibition of designs submitted to the designated competition of the Royal Courts of Justice opened in February 1867, the interest of most observers must have been in the question of style, for the eleven renowned architects who had been invited to compete – Henry R. Abraham, Edward Middleton Barry, Raphael Brandon, William Burges, Thomas N. Deane, Henry B. Garling, Henry F. Lockwood, John P. Seddon, George Gilbert Scott, George Edmund Street, and Alfred Waterhouse – all used the same style: Gothic.
The assumption that the new Law Courts would be Gothic must have been a given. Unlike the case of the competition held in the mid-1830s for rebuilding the new Houses of Parliament, in which the style of the buildings was to be, according to guidelines set by the Select Committee, “either Gothic or Elizabethan style”. All the designs, with the exception of the one submitted by Thomas N. Deane, attempted to convey a dignified grandeur which synthesized Gothic irregularity with stately classical order.

The following list has some of the key resources.
Android supports resources primarily through two types of files: XML files and raw files. The raw files might be images, audio, and video.
Some of the XML file gets compiled into binary format, and the other is copied as-is to the device.
For example, string resource XML files and layout resource XML files are compiled into
binary format before becoming part of the installable package.
These XML files have predefined formats where XML nodes can be translated to IDs.
You can compile your own strutured XML to binary formats and use the power of localization.
To do this, you can place these XML files in the
In this case, you would use Android-supplied XML readers to read the XML nodes.
But if you place files, including XML files, in the
/res/raw/ directory instead,
they don't get compiled into binary format.
However, because it's a resource, Android generates an ID through
The resource type for raw files is raw and

But, you must use explicit stream-based APIs to read these files.
Audio and video files fall into this category.
Since the raw directory is part of the
