Maurice Leblanc, in full Maurice-Marie-Émile Leblanc (born Dec. 11, 1864, Rouen, France—died Nov. 6, 1941, Paris), French author and journalist, known as the creator of Arsène Lupin, French gentleman-thief turned detective, who is featured in more than 60 of Leblanc’s crime novels and short stories.
Leblanc abandoned his law studies to become a pulp crime writer. Commissioned in 1905 to write a crime story for the French periodical Je sais tout, he created “L’Arrestation d’Arsène Lupin” (“The Arrest of Arsène Lupin”) and achieved immediate and long-lasting popular success. His first collection of short stories appeared in 1907. Leblanc used as a recurrent element the suspicion that Lupin may not have reformed completely. Many of Leblanc’s stories were adapted into successful films in the 1930s.
Leblanc was awarded the French Legion of Honour.


National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, observed every year on February 7, is a good time to remind the general public of the racial disparities in HIV infection that persist in the United States. Year after year, African-Americans continue to shoulder the heaviest burden of HIV.
“If you don’t have access to healthcare and you’re HIV-positive, you’re less likely to be on medication or virally suppressed, and therefore more likely to transmit HIV,” said amfAR vice president and director of public policy Greg Millett. “We also have to do a better job of reducing HIV stigma because it keeps people from being tested for HIV, and it keeps people who are HIV-positive from seeking care because they’re afraid they’ll be discriminated against. And that is what continues to fuel the epidemic.”
According to Millett, to effectively address the racial disparities in the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S., we need to continue raising awareness about how HIV disproportionately affects the black community, urge our policymakers to prioritize HIV prevention and treatment resources to the hardest hit communities, such as black gay men, and improve care for HIV-positive black women and injecting drug users.
Discrimination, stigma, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare contribute to the disproportionate burden of HIV among black Americans. This is most notably the case in regions with large black populations like the American South where approximately half of the nation’s new HIV infections occur, with black Americans accounting for nearly 80 percent of them. In general, African-Americans are less likely than whites to have private health insurance.


What is e-accessibility?
Q: What is e-accessibility?
A: Electronic accessibility, or E-Accessibility, refers to the ease of use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as the Internet, by people with disabilities. Web sites need to be developed so that disabled users can access the information. For example:
- for people who are blind, web sites need to be able to be interpreted by programmes which read text aloud and describe any visual images;
- for people who have low vision, web pages need adjustable sized fonts and sharply contrasting colours; and
- for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, audio content should be accompanied by text versions of the dialogue. Sign language video can also help make audio content more accessible.
Internationally, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, prepared by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) provide standards for web accessibility. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which came into force on May 3, 2008 draws attention to the need to ensure access to ICTs for persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others and will help to eliminate barriers to information, including through the Internet. At the national level, laws and regulations can promote compliance with accessibility standards.
The use of ICTs, such as the Internet, is rapidly becoming an essential part of the economic, educational and social life of many people today. Therefore it is vital that web sites can be used by all, so that persons with disabilities have the same access to information as everyone else.


What is Cat Spaying or Dog Spaying?
Spaying removes the ability of a female to have young. Spaying your dog or cat is a surgical operation that removes both the ovaries and the uterus through an incision in the abdomen. Because the ovaries produce most of the estrogen in a female’s body, the pet no longer has a surge of estrogen, a heat cycle, bleeding from the vulva, or the tendency to attract males. The procedure for females is called a spay surgery or ovariohysterectomy
Benefits of cat and dog spaying
Spaying is the most common surgery for female pets because it has so many benefits for the pet and the family. Spaying:
- prevents estrus cycles and vaginal bleeding,
- prevents the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens,
- prevents infection in the uterus (pyometra),
- lessens mammary cancer, and
- lessens cat yowling.
Best age to spay your cat or dog
Spaying is done at all ages. At some humane facilities and animal shelters, spaying is being done when pets are 6 to 8 weeks old so that no adopted pets will have unwanted litters. Pets spayed by the family veterinarian are traditionally scheduled for surgery between 5 and 10 months of age.
When scheduling surgery for a pet that has just had a litter, it is best to wait about two months after delivery so that the young are weaned, the mother has quit nursing, and the uterus has
returned to its normal size.


|Geoboards: How To Make and Teach
Everything from how to make them, to an overview of all the topics they can be used for, and materials on specific topics like Polygons, Graphing on the Cartesian plane, Pythagoras Theorem, etc.
|Compass and Straight Edge (and Angles)
For centuries, an essential part of Mathematics education was a study of The Elements by Euclid, and learning how to use a compass and straight edge. Many mathematicians, like Gauss, were masters of the art. So using a compass and straight edge starts with a study of some of Euclid’s propositions, and goes on with some other interesting constructions.
|Probability (and Statistics)
Hands on materials like coins, cards, dice and blocks make a tricky topic like Probability more fun, more challenging, and more understandable.
Known as the Queen of Mathematics , number theory goes back to ancient times and has strong connections to Geometry. It has many interesting problems, and modern applications in computing.

Healthcare-associated infections kill 100,000 each year in the U.S., often because basic safety guidelines are not followed. That is what makes a medical study recently published in the American Journal of Infection Control so disconcerting.
Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) is an untreatable brain disease affecting one in one million people each year. It is thankful that CJD is rare, because it is often regarded as the human version of "mad cow" disease, quickly transforming healthy brain proteins into unhealthy cells. This is what makes news from a North Carolina hospital so disturbing.
The word "tuberculosis" used to bring trepidation to Americans.The creation of the antibiotic streptomycin in 1946 largely quieted this fear, but a new drug-resistant strain of the disease has surfaced in recent decades. A recent tuberculosis outbreak at a Las Vegas hospital shows why people, again, should fear "TB."
Health care-associated infections (HAIs) affect 1 in 20 patients, according to the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). HAIs are a top-10 cause of death in the United States, killing 2,500 annually, but the problem only seems to be worsening.


Vineyard Views Newsletter & Events
Virginia creeper leafhopper
Populations of a newly invasive species, the Virginia creeper leafhopper (Erythroneura ziczac), have been detected in some vineyards in Northern California, from the Oregon border to the Northern Sacramento Valley, Northern Sierra foothills, and Lake and Mendocino Counties.
Thus far, the problem is being reported primarily from backyard vines or organic vineyards. Distribution in the California counties where it has been reported is not yet well understood. Although not yet found in Napa or Sonoma Counties, proximal populations are located in Lake and Mendocino. For additional information on identification of this species, refer to a video prepared by UC Cooperative Extension Advisors.
Damage from this species can be much more severe than Western grape leafhopper, in some cases resulting in complete defoliation when control measures are not properly implemented. In many regions of California, the Western grape leafhopper is under control by natural enemies--a complex of parasitic wasps of the genus Anagrus that attach leafhopper eggs. At this time, Virginia creeper leafhopper (VCLH) eggs do not appear to be parasitized by the species of Anagrus present in California, however a thorough investigation has not occurred. Without effective controls, VCLH populations can reach very high levels, especially in backyard and organic vineyards.
Additional information on Virginia creeper leafhopper will be presented by Dr. Lucia Varela, during a "Pest and Disease Update" that is scheduled for March 6, 2013 at the Yountville Community Center (more details to follow.)

Calkins, Lucy. Raising Lifelong Learners: A Parent’s Guide. Reading: Addison-Wesley
Longman. 1997. Print.
Lucy Calkins is a noted teacher and researcher in reading and writing. Her book is a guide for parents, helping them to work with their children’s schools to create a positive learning environment and a lifelong love of learning in their children. Topics covered include fostering learning and curiosity in mathematics, science, social studies, reading, and writing. Calkinsâ€™ work also offers advice on school curriculum and testing. By providing specific examples of parental involvement, this book will help support my assertion that parents need to play a strong role in their children’s education.


Asteroids Mathilde, Gaspra and Ida
Mathilde, Gaspra, and Ida (left to right, all at the same scale). The image of Mathilde was taken by the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous spacecraft on June 27, 1997. Images of Gaspra and Ida were taken in 1991 and 1993, respectively, by the Galileo spacecraft.
The visible part of Mathilde measures 37 miles (59 kilometers) wide and 29 miles (47 kilometers) high. Mathilde has more large craters than the other two asteroids. Mathilde is shown at about the same brightness as the other two asteroids, but is actually much darker.

OK - I don't know what that code is trying to do, but on line 30 you declare an int called passwordLength, then try to use it in an 'if' expressions as if it was a method... and for method arguments, you're comparing a String called 'length' with two integer literals, 6 and 10.
You can't use an int as a method (the compiler is complaining it can't find a method called passwordLength), and you can't compare a String with a number. The 'if' statement won't do anything even if you fix it, because you've put a semi-colon ; on the end of it... The last error is because you're trying to return 'false' from a method that's declared 'void' - which means it can't return any value.
I suggest you forget about the code, and start with a sheet of paper. Then write down how you would solve this problem step by step in English. Decide what number variables you'll need and what text variables (Strings) you'll need, and how you'd use them to do what is needed. Don't worry about Java until you've worked out exactly how to solve the problem on paper. Once you have a detailed solution written down in English (i.e. pseudo code), and you've stepped through it by hand to make sure it works, then try translating it into Java.
Designing and coding are tricky enough individually - if you try to do both at the same time, you'll only get confused.


To express to keep on/continue doing something in Spanish we use one of these two verbal structures:
Notice how both seguir and continuar are followed by a gerund, which coincides with the English structure.
However special attention must be paid to the verb seguir which is a stem-changing verb (e>i) as well as a consonant change verb (gu>g). See:
- Conjugate stem-changing (e > i) verbs: seguir, conseguir, perseguir in El Presente (present tense)
- Verbos con cambio ortográfico gu > g (El Presente)
Also remember the absence of a preposition between seguir/continuar and the gerund form, as this is a common mistake.
Here are some other examples:
Take one of the examples above:
It is incorrect to use a preposition between the two verb forms or to use the infinitive:
Ellos siguieron a bebiendo hasta el amanecer.
Ellos siguieron a beber hasta el amanecer.
Ellos continuaron a bebiendo hasta el amanecer.
Ellos continuaron a beber hasta el amanecer.

Is digital anonymity an illusion?
Anonymity in cyberspace is rare—and getting rarer. A Columbia study and student-built website show how just carrying a smartphone can compromise your digital privacy. With Google, Data Science Institute researchers discovered your phone leaks enough information about your physical movements to identify you from thousands.
Two sources of data—a geotagged Instagram photo and Facebook check-in—can pinpoint the same person’s social media accounts even if that person uses different account names, a digital alias unmasked. While smartphone location-tracking helps navigate cities and highways, its security implications are still poorly understood.
To show how much data your smartphone leaks and what that data says about you, study coauthor Chris Riederer, an Engineering graduate student, created You Are Where You Go with two undergraduates, Daniel Echikson '17CC and Stephanie Huang ’17SEAS. The site lets you audit your social media trail by linking at least two of your social media accounts with location-tracking features (like Twitter or Foursquare).
You Are Where You Go calculates how likely someone posted in one app at one time and place, then posted in a second app at another time and place. With relative accuracy, the site uses these digital breadcrumbs to guess your age, race or ethnicity, income, and even if you have children.
“People are now sharing their location on a growing number of apps, often without realizing it,” cautions Riederer. “Companies no longer have to be very sophisticated to access this data and use it for their own purposes.” Learn More.


Debt Growth and the Financial System
Since 1982, the indebtedness of domestic nonfinancial sectors has increased from around 140 percent of nominal gross national product (GNP) to 170 percent. This extraordinary growth contrasts sharply with the pattern of debt growth over most of the post- World War II period. Between 1951 and 1982, for example, debt growth was remarkably stable, continuing in direct proportion to nominal GNP. Although debt increased sharply relative to GNP from 1929 to 1933, this increase largely reflected a 46 percent decline in GNP over the same period. Meanwhile, some measures of debt were declining in absolute terms. In fact, domestic nonfinancial debt (the measure of total debt used in this article) actually declined 14 percent from 1929 to 1933.

Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands
The Netherlands shares its history with many countries around the globe. The traces left by this past, both within and outside the Netherlands, are referred to as shared cultural heritage.
The Netherlands has a rich history in which connections with other countries have always played an important role. As a maritime trading nation, colonial ruler and a land of migrants and internationally renowned artists and architects, the Netherlands has left its traces all over the world. In a similar vein, other nations and cultures have also left their marks in the Netherlands.
The Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands contributes to ensuring a sustainable future for this shared cultural heritage by working together with ten partner countries. We provide training, advice and instruments. The Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands is responsible for executing a part of the Dutch government’s policy on shared heritage by means of its Shared Cultural Heritage Programme (in Dutch: Programma Gedeeld Cultureel Erfgoed).
The Agency has selected three main themes:
- Maritime Archaeology
- Built Environment


Bgmea ProposalTECHNICAL PROPOSAL
Inflation and its Impact on the life of Bangladeshi
The Ready Made Garment (RMG) industry emerged in Bangladesh in the late 1970s and quickly expanded to the point where it's now the country's dominant industry and employs around 3.5 million workers, 85% of them women - their very presence as a female workforce challenging patriarchal traditions. Since 2012, when a mass revolt shook the industry, RMG workers have sustained - with little union influence or membership - some of the highest levels of class struggle in the world.
Bangladesh with a per capita income of about $500 is one of the least developed countries of the world. Its export base is weak and heavily depends on RMG, from which it earns about 75% of its merchandize export income. RMG also employs about 3.5 million people, with about 3,600 factories in operation and any negative impact on the operation of this sector shall obviously have a large bearing on national economy. For years, these garments workers have accepted a precarious existence, working long hours for less than USD 1 a day. Over the last year, however, rapid inflation in food prices has made their wages unlivable.
Inflation has been the most talked about issue in Bangladesh in the recent time. Yet, there has not been a serious look at how this is really calculated. The calculation itself has a serious implication for the low income groups, particularly the ones struggling to survive in Dhaka city such as garments worker.
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) constructs Consumer Price Indices (CPIs) for national, rural and urban areas, and calculates inflation rates for these areas using these CPIs. The reference groups of the constructed CPIs are the average urban and the rural households of Bangladesh. The consumption pattern of these households is derived from the Household Expenditure Survey (HES)...


APPCShort for Advanced Program-to-Program Communications. Also known as LU 6.2 and based on IBM's SNA, APPC is a communication protocol that transaction programs in a distributed computing environment can use to talk to each other. Using APPC, interconnected systems can communicate and share the processing of programs. It consists of two interfaces: programming and data-exchange. The programming interface replies to requests from programs requiring communication; the data-exchange interface establishes sessions between programs.
APPC is an open standard and is supported on most platforms.

Cut types tell Origin where to place the cutter in reference to your design. Cut type is assigned either in your design file (see here) or on-tool. To change the cut type of a cut path, go to Cut mode, move your reticule over the cut path and tap the cut type button on the left.
In the example below, the cut type is Outside, as indicated in the menu. The cut type for this path is saved so that it can be easily retrieved if you come back to a project months later.
Tapping the current cut type will make the cut type menu visible.
In an Inside cut, Origin places the cutter on the inside of the design. If we created a 25 x 25 mm rectangle in Design mode and used a 6 mm cutter, an Inside cut would create a 25 x 25 mm square.
In an outside cut, Origin places the cutter on the outside of the design. If we create a 25 x 25 mm square in Design mode, an Outside cut with a 6 mm cutter would create a 37 x 37 mm square.
In a Pocket cut, Origin acts like a traditional router so you can hog the material out of the inside of an object. However, Origin uses its smarts to keep you from cutting outside the bounds, and as always, will retract if you do. Note that Auto Mode will not work in this cut type.
Pocket cuts have an automatic negative offset as an additional level of protection against a user straying outside of a an area's intended bounds. For a cleaner cut, we recommend you make a finishing pass on every pocket using an Inside cut with no offset.
With an On Line cut, Origin places the center of the cutter over the center of the cut path. If we create a square with 25 mm edge length and use a 6 mm cutter, an inside cut would create a square with 31 mm edge length.
Engraving is a common use for an On Line cut. Note that offsets are not an option when making an On Line cut.
A Guide line is uncuttable. You can use it to align a design with another object, a grid marker, or an element on your workpiece itself, such as wood grain.


zinc oxide, chemical compound, ZnO, that is nearly insoluble in water but soluble in acids or alkalies. It occurs as white hexagonal crystals or a white powder commonly known as zinc white. Zinc white is used as a pigment in paints; less opaque than lithopone, it remains white when exposed to hydrogen sulfide or ultraviolet light. It is also used as a filler for rubber goods and in coatings for paper. Chinese white is a special grade of zinc white used in artists' pigments. Because it absorbs ultraviolet light, zinc oxide can be used in ointments, creams, and lotions to protect against sunburn. Crystalline zinc oxide exhibits the piezoelectric effect, is luminescent, and is light sensitive. Zinc oxide occurs in nature as the mineral zincite. Zinc peroxide, ZnO 2· 1⁄2 H 2O, is a white to yellow powder used in antiseptic ointments.

This is to take the output of a larger pond/aquarium/fountain pump and split the output into multiple smaller hoses.
The cool thing about this it tries to create a laminar flow using a series of small hexagon tubes (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:41703) before running the water through a very gradual transition to the hoses. In theory, this will reduce the flow losses caused by turbulent flow and sudden changes in pipe diameters.
In practice, I was able to get the same amount of flow as a singular 1/4 inch tube about 25 feet long while including 2 additional 10 foot tubes with much more flow through each.
The photos are stereoscopic, it appears that you need to click into them to view them correctly.
Laminar flow is created by running water through smooth, straight tubes much longer than across. We can approximate this by using a honeycomb feature inside 2/3rds of the adapter to clean up the water flow from the pump before reducing it down to the right hose size(s).
This is a parametric adapter. It currently only works with the same sized output hose(s) which are smaller than the pump housing hole.
This is a work in progress, as I've not tested very many variations in pump housing diameters and hose sizes and counts. If you find any issues, let me know.
Once printed, I used a small drill bit to smooth out any stringing inside the honeycomb feature.

Pāli: “Summary of the Meaning of Abhidhamma”) a highly popular primer, or digest, of the Abhidhamma corpus (the scholastic section of the canon) of the Theravada tradition. The Abhidhammattha-sangaha was composed in India or in Myanmar (Burma), the chief centre for Abhidhamma studies. Written in Pali by the monk Anuruddha, it dates from no earlier than the 8th century and probably from the 11th or 12th.
The Abhidhammattha-sangaha is a handbook rather than an expository work; it is extremely condensed, dealing in fewer than 50 pages with the entire contents of the seven texts of the Abhidhamma Pitaka. It is the most widely read work of its kind, is held in very high esteem, especially in Myanmar and Sri Lanka (Ceylon), and has been the subject of an extensive exegetical literature in the centuries since its composition.
The subject matter of the Abhidhammattha-sangaha includes enumerations of 89 classes of consciousness, 52 mental properties in various combinations, the qualities of matter, the kinds of relations between phenomena, the varieties of rebirth, and a number of meditation exercises. The purpose of the analysis contained within the Abhidhammattha-sangaha is to elicit a realization of the impermanence of all things, leading to enlightenment and emancipation.

Frege held that referring expressions in general, and demonstratives and indexicals in particular, contribute more than just their reference to what is expressed by utterances of sentences containing them. Heck first attempts to get clear about what the essence of the Fregean view is, arguing that it rests upon a certain conception of linguistic communication that is ultimately indefensible. On the other hand, however, he argues that understanding a demonstrative (or indexical) utterance requires one to think of the object denoted in an appropriate way. This fact makes it difficult to reconcile the view that referring expressions are "directly referential" with any view that seeks (as Grice's does) to ground meaning in facts about communication.


Symptoms and Treatment of Hypothermia
Symptoms of Hypothermia
- Uncontrolled shivering—usually the first obvious symptom, but ceases as hypothermia progresses
- Slow, slurred speech
- Memory loss
- Irrational behavior, such as removing clothing
- Lack of body movement
- Unconsciousness, which could lead to death
Treatment of Hypothermia
- Find shelter for the victim.
- Remove wet clothing, and replace with dry clothing and other protective covering. If there is no dry clothing, use a fire to dry one layer at a time.
- Give warm liquids to rehydrate and rewarm, but never give the victim alcohol to drink. Quick-energy foods also produce inner body heat.
- For mild cases, use fire, blankets, or another person’s body heat to warm the victim.
- In more advanced stages, rewarm the victim slowly by placing one or more persons in body contact with the victim. Place canteens of hot water insulated with socks or towels on the groin, armpits, and sides of the neck of the victim.
- A victim at or near unconsciousness must be handled gently, and not immersed in a warm bath or exposed to a large fire, which can lead to traumatic shock or death. Immediately contact emergency medical personnel to evacuate the victim to a hospital for treatment.


A nosode is a homeopathic remedy prepared from a pathological specimen. The only difference between a nosode and any other remedy, is the starting material. A nosode could be described as an “oral vaccine” in the sense that its purpose is to “immunize” the body against a specific disease. The major difference between a nosode and an “orthodox” vaccine is the extremely small quantity of physical substance in a nosode. It is the “energy” pattern not the “substance” that does the job in a homeopathic remedy.
Most children are given vaccinations against a wide range of diseases. Vaccinosis nosode aids in stimulation of the immune system in case these vaccinations may have impaired the immune system. This formula also provokes clearing of latent infections caused by complications due to vaccinations.


If your kindergartners (or pre-schoolers, first graders, children, fill in the blank) are anything like mine, MANY of them are still developing a proper pencil grip. Or actually, they have developed an improper pencil grip, and you are trying to re-train their hands.
I find every year that I have four or five kids with really awkward grips that inhibit their writing. Writing is so important, and complicated, that the last thing I want getting in their way is the pencil!
My school’s occupational therapist is amazing, and she shared this tip with me last year. You can give a child a cotton ball or small ball to hold with their middle, ring, and pinky fingers. This way those fingers have a job and they are less likely to creep up the pencil. Once those three fingers are holding the ball, the pointer and thumb can take control of the pencil. Hint: I actually think the cotton ball works better, but the “fun” balls are enticing and kids want to use them. So keeping a few of both on hand is probably a good idea.
I have found that this simple trick really helps many of my students develop new gripping habits. I hope it helps yours as well! What are your pencil grip tips and tricks?


Attracted by economic opportunities, a large number of Italian immigrants came to Galveston in the 19th century. In 1876, they formed the Italian Mutual Benevolent Society (Societa'Italiana di Mutuo Soccorso) to provide assistance to fellow immigrants. The society purchased a plot of land in Calvary Catholic Cemetery in 1888 and built this mausoleum, known as the Italian Vault. The structure exhibits Gothic style influences in its buttresses, gargoyles, and Corinthian columns flanking the entrance. The vault provides space for twelve crypts. The vault also was used by members of the later organized Italian society, Stella d'Italia, and finally the Sons of Italy.

This one term does duty in the Authorized Version for no less than seven distinct Hebrew words.
- Abel . This word perhaps answers more nearly to our word "meadow" than any other. It occurs in the names of Abel-maim Abel-meholah, Abel-shittim and is rendered "plain" in ( Judges 11:33 ) --"plain of vineyards."
- Bikah . Fortunately we are able to identify the most remarkable of the bikahs of the Bible, and thus to ascertain the force of the term. The great plain or valley of Coele-Syria, the "hollow land" of the Greeks, which separates the two ranges of Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon is the most remarkable of them all. Out of Palestine we find denoted by the word bikah the "plain of the land of Shiner," ( Genesis 11:2 ) the "plain of Mesopotamia," ( Ezekiel 3:22 Ezekiel 3:23 ; 8:4 ; Ezekiel 37:1 Ezekiel 37:2 ) and the "plain in the province of Dura." ( Daniel 3:1 )
- Ha shefelah the invariable designation of the depressed, flat or gently-undulating region which intervened between the highlands of Judah and the Mediterranean, and was commonly in possession of the Philistines.
- Elon . Our translators have uniformly rendered this word "plain;" but this is not the verdict of the majority or the most trustworthy of the ancient versions. They regard the word as meaning an "oak" or "grove of oaks," a rendering supported by nearly all the commentators and lexicographers of the present day, The passages in which the word occurs erroneously translated "plain" are as-follows: Plain of Moreh, ( Genesis 12:6 ; 11:30 ) plain of Mamre, ( Genesis 13:18 ; 14:13 ; 18:1 ) plain of Zaanaim, ( Judges 4:11 ) plain of the pillar, ( Judges 9:6 ) plain of Meonenim, ( Judges 9:37 ) plain of Tabor, ( 1 Samuel 10:5 )

Monomers are small molecules that can join with other similar molecules to form very large molecules, or polymers. All monomers have the capacity to form chemical bonds to at least two other monomer molecules.Lipids, Polysaccharides, Proteins and Polynucleotides are the major groups of macromolecules that are found in all living organisms. These giant molecules carry out all the vital functions needed by cells. Macromolecules are involved in processes such as food digestion, information storage, energy manipulation and metabolism. Proteins are made out of amino acids, carbohydrates are made from sugars, and DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides.


Australian slang term for attacks on the English.
The word 'pommy' derives from pomegranate. The English were called Limeys because they ate limes to ward off scurvy on the long ssea voyage, but the pomegranate tag didn't originate that way. Pommy grant is likely to have originated as a form of rhyming slang for immigrant.
Popular myth has it that pom derives from the fact that many immigrants to Oz were British convicts who had been transported there. They supposedly arrived with POHM (Prisoner of Her Majesty) printed on their clothes. Like most phrases that are supposed to derive from acronyms, that notion is supported by no evidence whatsoever.
The terms pom and pommy began to be used in Australia just before WWI and the first known citations of it in print date from 1912 and 1913 respectively.
In the UK in 1970s a vogue arose for calling racial assaults on Pakistani immigrants 'Paki bashing'. This originated from the frequent such assaults made by the far-right racist party the National Front. The first record I can find for this is from The Times, April 1970:
"'Paki-bashing', as skinheads call it, is not confined to east London."
The term 'pommy-bashing' was coined following this pattern, although there the victims suffered only mild abuse, sometimes just teasing, rather than physical attack. This was cited in The Times in April 1976:
"'Pommy-bashing' vogue which achieved undeserved notoriety last year."

The book of Exodus is the second book of the Torah (“law”). It continues the story of Genesis concerning the migration of the family of Jacob (the Israelites) to Egypt (Genesis 50). It describes the commissioning of Moses and Aaron as God’s representatives on earth to accomplish God’s deliverance of His people from slavery in Egypt and lead them to the Promised Land (the land of Canaan). It also relates the miraculous deliverance from Egypt beginning with the plagues on Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea. It then describes the journey to Mount Sinai and the establishment of the Mosaic covenant with the Israelites. The last part of the book involves the specifications and building of the tabernacle – the place where the Lord Himself dwelt amongst His people.
In the book of Exodus, the focus shifts to the deliverance of God’s people.
Chapter 15 contains the Song of the Sea that was sung by Moses and the men of Israel after the LORD had just delivered the Israelites and decimated the Egyptian forces. As they were singing verses 1 – 18, Miriam and the women contributed to the LORD’s praise by singing (v. 21).
Starting in verse 22, the people of Israel begin their journey to the land that the LORD promised to them. They travelled to Marah in search for drinkable water, and when they found none, they rebelled against Him. In His grace, the LORD miraculously provided all the water the people needed. This showed the people that He was not only their Deliverer, He was their Provider as well.
Chapter 15 can be outlined as follows:
- The Song of the Sea (15:1 – 21)
- The Men Sang (15:1 – 18)
- The Women Sang (15:19 – 21)
- The Journey to Marah (15:22 – 27)


These Distinguished Corps: British Grenadier and Light Infantry Battalions in the American Revolution (From Reason to Revolution)
Helion and Company (December 15, 2021)
Paperback: 208 pages
During the American Revolution, British light infantry and grenadier battalions figured prominently in almost every battle and campaign. They are routinely mentioned in campaign studies, usually with no context to explain what these battalions were. In an army that employed regiments as the primary deployable assets, the most active battlefield elements were temporary battalions created after the war began and disbanded when it ended.
The Distinguished Corps: British Grenadier and Light Infantry Battalions in the American Revolution is the first operational study of these battalions during the entire war, looking at their creation, evolution and employment from the first day of hostilities through their disbandment at the end of the conflict. It examines how and why these battalions were created, how they were maintained at optimal strength over eight years of war, how they were deployed tactically and managed administratively. Most important, it looks at the individual officers and soldiers who served in them.
Using first-hand accounts and other primary sources, The Distinguished Corps describes life in the grenadiers and light infantry on a personal level, from Canada to the Caribbean and from barracks to battlefield.
Don N. Hagist is managing editor of Journal of the American Revolution (http://allthingsliberty.com), and studies the lives and service of individual British soldiers in the 1770s and 1780s, relying almost exclusively on primary sources. His books include Noble Volunteers: the British Soldiers who Fought the American Revolution (2020) and British Soldiers, American War: Voices of the American Revolution (2012), and he has published numerous journal articles. He is an engineer for a major medical device manufacturer, and lives in Providence, Rhode Island.


Second Amendment: The Right to Bear Arms
Do the Second Amendment and/or the Ninth Amendment acknowledge an unconditional right to keep and bear arms? The answer is both yes and no.
The controversy of the Second Amendment exists because, erroneously, some have insisted that the right to keep and bear arms is a state (as in Ohio, Texas, Florida) right and not an individual right. However, it is clear that the first clause, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," means a free America.
The word "state" means nation/country, such as "the state of Israel" or "the Arab states" or "Secretary of State." In other words, the nation can best form a well-regulated militia (army/navy) if its militia (originally, men between the ages of 18 and 45) is free to keep and bear arms.
In addition, upon examining the Ninth Amendment (the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people), it is obvious the framers intended to recognize certain natural rights such as the right to life.
Of course, if one has this right but is denied the means (use of arms) to defend and protect this life, then this right has been disparaged.
At the time of the Constitution's inception the framers, all "men" in a "man's world," clearly gave little thought to anyone other than the man as the defender of family, property or country.
In 18th Century England, only the aristocratic (the ruling class) were empowered to defend honor and country. This concept of all men being full "citizens" and having the right and obligation to serve and protect was unique to America.
A citizen, circa 1785, was considered to be any white American male over the age of...

What should you do if your child is being bullied in school? Will you even know? If the the child is not talking about it, are there other signs that may help you know that they need help and some skills to deal with those kind of behaviors?
The Bullying Prevention Class for Parents will be held on February 5, 2013 at 9:15 AM at Balanced Life Skills. The class led by bully prevention expert, Joe Van Deuren, will answer these questions along with why children do not tell and how to help your child even if they are not the target of bully at this time.
All parents in the community are invited no matter how old your child is and please feel free to invite your friends and neighbors. In our last class one of the participants said, “Every parent should take this class, I learned so much.”
Watch for our Focus on Friendship class for students too. The next one is on February 8th at 5 PM for Kindergarten and First Graders, both boys and girls. Call for more details.


Airlines will receive allowances to emit almost 213 million tonnes of carbon dioxide when the aviation sector is included in the European Union's emissions trading scheme (ETS) from 2012.
The European Commission said that, based on average annual aviation emissions from 2004-06, it had calculated the number of available allowances for 2012 to be just shy of 213 million tonnes. This represents 97% of the 2004-06 emissions figure.
From 2013, the aviation sector will have access to 208.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide permits each year. This represents 95% of the historic emissions data from 2004-06.
The EC originally said 85% of this allowance would be handed out free, with the remaining 15% subject to auction.
However, this is not set in stone and a firm decision will be announced later this year.
"Emissions from aviation are growing faster than from any other sector, and all forecasts indicate they will continue to do so under business-as-usual conditions," says European commissioner for climate action Connie Hedegaard.
"By publishing the data on which allocations will be based, we prepare for the full inclusion of aviation in the emissions trading system," she adds.

In a scientific discovery that may seem right out of sci-fi plot hole, NASA has detected evidence of a parallel universe in Antarctica where time moves backwards and the rules of physics are opposite to ours.
Although the concept of a parallel universe has been there since the late 90s, with the existence of a 'multiverse' being much debated, this is a new revelation. Now a cosmic ray detection experiment has found out particles that could be from a parallel realm that was born out of a big bang.
According to a report by The Daily Star, NASA's Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a giant balloon, was used "to haul delicate electronic antennas high" into the dry air, that has no radio noise to have distorted the findings.
The findings suggested that there was a constant “wind’ of high energy particles coming from outer space – some of which are a million times more powerful than anything anyone on the earth's surface can generate.
"Low-energy, subatomic neutrinos with a mass close to zero can pass completely through Earth, but higher-energy objects are stopped by the solid matter of our planet," according to the report.
The team detected that the high-energy particles that can otherwise only be coming “down” from space, were coming “up” out of the Earth.
The finding implies that these particles are actually traveling backward in time, suggesting evidence of a parallel universe.
Principal ANITA investigator Peter Gorham suggested that the only way the particles could have behaved that way is "if it changed into a different type of particle before passing through the Earth and then back again."
Describing the odd phenomenon, he noted that his fellow researchers were sceptical about many of such "impossible events".
According to the scientists, what qualifies as the simplest explanation to this is the Big Bang that happened 13.8 billion years ago. That led to the formation of two universes — ours and one that "from our perspective is running in reverse with time going backward."


The Skyrian Horse
The small-bodied species of the Skyrian horse is one of the rarest horse breeds in the world. It is native to Greece, and in ancient times lived throughout the country, but now is only found in the wild in Skyros and in breeding and welfare farms on the island of Skyros.
The Skyrian Horse is believed to be descended from horses brought to the island of Skyros during the 5th to 8th centuries BCE by Athenian colonists. It is possible that they were used by Alexander the Great in his conquests, and also possible that they are the horses depicted in the friezes of the Parthenon.


Following the success of the European-wide First Aid Guidelines for the adult public, Johanniter International released the free-to-use first aid teaching materials for children in 2021. The booklets comprise a set of two stories for children, playfully introducing them to basic concepts of first aid, along with a ‘Guidance for teachers and instructors’. The materials promote the importance of early first aid training in preventing injuries and saving lives. The stories are designed to be interactive with opportunities for discussion and colouring, offering an engaging way for children to start learning about health and healthcare.
Developed by the JOIN Clinical Working Group, the two stories for children offer an introductory program to first aid entailing awareness of risks and danger of surroundings, how to call for help, and further basic concepts. While all content primarily aims at the school setting, close attention was given to versatile applicability in a classroom, as well as at home, in large groups or on an individual basis. The publication is designed as the first part of a series of modules for children.
The set of ‘European First Aid for 5 to 7 years old’ are available for free download on the same website as the European First Aid Guidelines.


Whether you’re an avid gardener or mostly enjoy the flowers on walks with your dog, it’s important to understand that certain plants can be poisonous to dogs and cats. Knowing which plants in and around your home could potentially harm your pets is a critical part of keeping them healthy and safe. Once you do, it’s easy to find petsafe alternatives for a dogfriendly garden or indoor space.
Rover, an online database of poisonous plants for dogs and cats, has partnered with Pet Poison Helpline, who gets upwards of 2,800 calls per year about plant-related illness. Their combined efforts have released a list of the Top 10 most common poisonous plants as ranked by poison helpline calls, according to Dakota Mackey, of Rover.
“This database has been a long-time coming. We’ve collected images and other helpful data, plus partnered with an authority on this subject to confirm common symptoms for people to watch out for. We’re hoping to provide a place for pet owners to consult when they’re deciding building a garden or decorating their home. There are some really common plants like pathos on the list,” Mackey stated.
The Top 10 list of North Carolina plants poisonous to pets, ranked by poison helpline calls, is as follows:
#1 Lilium species (nonspecific).
#2 Sago/Cycad palm, Cardboard palm, Coontie plant (Cycas or Zamia species).
# 3 Azaleas (Rhododendron species).

BACH: HANDWRITING MUSICAL SCORES
It is well known that Johann Sebastian Bach as a composer was mainly self-taught , as was emphasized by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel in his obituary. Sebastian was, of course, a member of the large music clan of the Bachs, where he observed music practices throughout his early childhood, and surely he got some basic musical instruction from his father. He also heard impressive organ performances given by his uncle Johann Christoph, his father's twin.
Because both of his brothers died when Sebastian was only 9 years old, he was placed in the care of his eldest brother's family. There is no record of anyone giving him training in composition. However, during the next 8 years he became a very accomplished composer. He got his insight into composition through his painstaking copying of scores written by other composers. There is a famous story about his secret copying of a collection of pieces from his brother's bookcase - by moonlight. His habit of making handwritten copies of other music he kept till his adult age, later even making his own arrangements for some of those he had copied. (e. g. some violin concertos by Vivaldi he arranged for organ etc.)
Handwriting was for him that effective practice which gave him understanding in how some music is made. This he demonstrated in his own compositions, which soon became more challenging than his models.
It is interesting to me that probably none of the big army of music copyists became a great composer. Probably the difference was in focus - Bach made copies to master the music, the copyists made it for the money. They were more interested in numbers of pages or measures, than in the handwritten music.

Cadillac Students Make A Splash Raising Money for Michigan History Class
Cadillac students are making a splash and raising money for a lesson in Michigan history.
The Cadillac High School’s Michigan history class needed to raise some money for a field trip.
So Friday, the principal and assistant principal braved the cold waters of a dunk tank to make it happen.
Students paid money to throw balls, but for $10 you could go up and make sure they were dunked.
Principal Shaina Squires says it was worth it to bring some hands-on learning to the unique class.
“They really try to work and make sure our kids can experience pieces of Michigan and history in Michigan,” says Squires. “It was organized by the students of the Michigan history class in an effort to raise money for the trips. “
This is the first year the school’s offered Michigan history.
The class was able to visit the Henry Ford Museum and River Rouge Plant.


As parents, we almost instinctively react to our child’s unwanted, negative behaviors. When our child acts out, we revoke their privileges (no more cell phone today), punish them (extra chores), and remove attention (time out). These can all be effective ways to reduce acting out behaviors. But an even more effective way is to also reward positive behaviors. Exactly when the child is doing the right thing, provide praise that is as specific as possible (name the behavior you like). Catch Your Child Being Good. Examples of rewarding positive behaviors:
- “Great job picking up your toys the first time I asked”
- “You are waiting patiently while I finish my work, thank you.”
- “One thing I really like about you is how you pet the dog nicely.”
Tie even and especially your impulse purchases (a small toy, for example) to your child’s past or present good behavior (“OK, buddy, I will buy you that matchbox car. You can have it because you tried your best at piano lessons today and I was proud of you for that.”). In the psychology biz, we call this “intermittent reinforcement.” It is THE BEST way of getting good behavior from your children in the future.

You can find a lot of interesting things if you start digging around in ice that’s been frozen for thousands and thousands of years. For scientists working in China, 15,000-year-old glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau provided a glimpse into the not-so-distant history of viruses, including some entirely new viruses that were previously unknown to science.
Upon examining ice core samples taken from the glacier, researchers were able to identify over two dozen viruses that nobody has ever seen. If this sounds a bit like the start of a made-for-Netflix sci-fi horror movie to you, you’re not alone.
After taking the ice core samples, the scientists slowly melted away the exterior of the ice so as to ensure there was no contamination in their testing. Samples were then studied for the presence of microorganisms, and the researchers found a total of 33 types of viruses, with a whopping 28 of those being entirely new to science.
As LiveScience reports, the research is interesting for a number of reasons, not least of which is the fact that as ancient glaciers around the world melt (often with the help of a warming planet), it’s these kinds of viruses that may be waking up for the first time in modern human history.
That might sound a little scary on the surface, but it’s worth remembering that not all viruses pose a serious threat (or any threat at all) to humans. Generally speaking, the discoveries of these new (old) viruses is more interesting from a historical perspective than anything else. So, no, a virus unlocked from a glacier probably isn’t going to wipe out humanity… probably.


At the direction of the Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) State Veterinarian’s office, the Missouri State Fair will not host rabbit shows at the State Fair this August due to Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Serotype 2 (RHDV2).
RHDV2 is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease that affects both domestic and wild rabbits of all ages. This is a foreign animal disease as recognized by the World Organization for Animal Health and is of high concern in the United States. RHDV2 has been confirmed in Colorado, California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada.
Often the only clinical sign of the disease is sudden death, possibly with blood-stained noses caused by internal bleeding. Other signs include fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, neurologic signs and difficulty breathing. The incubation period for the disease is one to five days.
The virus is spread via direct contact with infected rabbits, as well as their meat or fur. The virus can also be spread indirectly through contact with an infected rabbit’s excretions, cages, bedding, feeders, equipment, etc. People can also serve as a fomite in the spread of the virus when handling an infected rabbit or their materials mentioned previously and then carrying the virus to a naïve rabbit. The virus can survive on an object for up to 105 days in dry, room temperatures.
RHDV2 is not infectious to people or other domestic animals.
The movement of live rabbits, such as for shows or fairs, presents a significant risk for spread of the disease due to the commingling of rabbits. MDA recommends postponing or canceling rabbit shows until more is known about the distribution of the virus and/or until vaccination is available.

Surge Protectors and Power Strips each have very distinct functions. Surge protectors are devices designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. A power strip is a strip of electrical sockets that may be attached to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple devices to be plugged in.
Every year thousands of injuries, fires, and deaths occur from surge protectors and power strips.
Below is a list of suggestions to help keep you safe and prevent a fire.
- Surge protectors and power strips are not a substitute for permanent wiring.
- Use care when inserting or removing a plug from an outlet. If you make contact with live prongs, it could result in electric shock
- Never plug a power strip or surge protector into an existing power strip or surge protector. This is also called “daisy chaining”
- Examine your surge protector or power strip on a regular basis to ensure that it is not hot, damaged, or has frayed wires.
- Never tape or staple a power strip or surge protector down.
- A surge protector or power strip should not be exposed to a moist environment unless it is specified by the manufacturer.
- When taking the plug out of the outlet, pull from the plug. Do not pull from the cord.
- Make a habit of unplugging it when it is not being used.
- Never cover a power strip or surge protector with anything that may prevent air circulation.

Teachers' Attitudes toward Their Integrated Learning Handicapped Students: Relationship to Teacher Perceptions of Students' Behavior.
Teachers' perceptions of student behaviors were examined to explain teachers' attitudes toward their students with and without learning handicaps. The study involved 44 intermediate-grade teachers who had students with learning handicaps and nonhandicapped students in their classrooms. Teachers' attitudes were measured with a four-question survey, and their perceptions of students' behavior, achievement, and personality were obtained through use of the Teachable Pupil Survey. Results indicated that students whom teachers perceived as exhibiting less ideal student behaviors were more likely to be rejected by teachers, without regard to disabilities. Findings imply that the handicapped label does not influence teachers' attitudes as much as the teachers' perceptions of the students' behaviors do. (Contains 28 references.) (JDD)

Early locomotives were called the "iron horse,” and using the analogy of steam engines to describe the horse’s respiratory (and circulatory) system is pretty apt. Think of the horse’s food (hay and grain) as the fuel that propels the horse’s “engine”. Like the steam engine, the fuel is converted into nutritional energy (like the locomotive’s steam) that powers the horse’s muscles.
For many horse owners, the farm and barn are your sanctuary. They are places where you and your family can enjoy your horses in peace. Or at least they should be. – encroaching development of neighboring properties or busy nearby roads can leave your private property feeling not so private. Don’t worry, though – we’ve come up with some great ways to maintain your privacy!
One way to keep your horse happy is with regular turnout time. But where can he go during those cold rainy/snowy months? If you turn him out in the pasture when the ground is soggy, his hooves can easily ruin your tender young grass.

Water Softener is mainly using for making soft water.
Softener Operation Process:
Softening is the removal of hardness from water. This is not a required part of the domestic water treatment process since hard water does not have any health consequences. At a hardness of greater than 300 mg/L as calcium carbonate, scale will form on pipes as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water as shown below.The scaling can damage equipment and should be avoided.
There are several types of treatment processes which can be used to soften water.


What's the Latest Development?
Two electrical treatments used to stimulate the memory of Alzheimer's patients are currently being tested: deep-brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation. "In deep brain stimulation, electrical pulses are delivered to a dysfunctional part of the brain via a surgically implanted electrode, stimulating neural activity." The Israeli company Neuronix, which is researching transcranial magnetic stimulation, "targets the stimulation to specific brain regions and combines it with cognitive training tasks designed to activate those regions."
What's the Big Idea?
After years of disappointing results from large pharmaceutical companies attempting to find a chemical treatment to combat Alzheimer's disease, two small startup companies have two unique approaches that pioneer non-chemical, brain stimulation treatments Alzheimer's patients. One aims to repeat the success that deep-brain stimulation has had with thousands of Parkinson's patients. The other plans to use transcranial magnetic stimulation, a non-invasive procedure that has been used to treat depression and has been a research tool to inhibit or stimulate specific parts of the brain.


Near-global high-resolution color view of Ganymede from Voyager 2
The large light-toned ridge systems crossing from the northwest to the southeast of the image are Uruk Sulcus (the northernmost of the two) and Tiamar Sulcus. The bright impact crater near the bottom of the image is Osiris. Near the left of the image just above center, many bright circular features are visible in the darker-toned terrain, with the two largest being Memphis Facula (340 km wide) and Siwah Facula. These faculae are features called "palimpsest," or "ghost craters," unique to the icy satellites of the outer solar system, and are thought to be the remnants of highly eroded ancient craters.

THE ROBINSON LIBRARY

Daniel Burnap was born in Coventry Township (now Andover), Connecticut, on November 1, 1759. He learned clockmaking as an apprentice to Thomas Harland at Norwich, Connecticut. In 1780 he settled in East Windsor, Connecticut, where he started his own clockmaking business.
Burnap specialized in eight-day brass movements in tall cases, many of which featured moon phases and calendar attachments. Like most other clockmakers of his day, however, most of his clockworks were sold as is, with the buyers either supplying their own cases or, more commonly, simply hanging them on a wall. Burnap clocks were well-known for their fine craftsmanship, as well as for their incredible timekeeping accuracy. That accuracy was due to his use of the more expensive, but superior, "dead beat" escapement invented by English clockmaker George Graham in 1715. Burnap may have been one of the first to use interchangeable parts and mass production, since from his records it appears that he built more than one clock at the same time
Sometime around 1800 Burnap moved his shop back to Coventry, where by 1805 he had built a respectable house. As Justice of the Peace, he held courts on the ground floor. In his shop, he made clocks, brass hardware, surveyors' instruments, and silver spoons and buckles, all with the same reputation for quality and craftsmanship. By 1815, however, he had turned his shop over to an apprentice, and appears to have spent the rest of his life repairing watches, engraving, and serving in various township positions. He died in Coventry on September 26, 1838.
Like most other craftsmen of his day, Burnap served as master to several apprentices during his career. The most notable of his many apprentices was Eli Terry who, by 1830, had become the world's largest manufacturer of machine-made clocks.

For more than six decades, UNESCO has dedicated itself to be the international agency leader in literacy, even though other aspects of educational development have received greater attention and resources by the broader international community. Resources for UNESCO's literacy work have not increased, and its programmatic activities have been increasingly debated when seen in relationship to the scope of literacy challenges across the globe. Moving forward in a time of restricted budgets will require UNESCO to strengthen itself as a professional innovator and thought leader.

This is a quick look at convolution and deconvolution in matlab. First you might have wondered, as I have, what's the deal with flipping the filter? It's really simple if you just think about the physical phenomenon. Suppose you have a filter modeling what a circuit or room does to an electric or acoustic signal. Picture the wave hitting the filter. Does the back of one hit the front of the other first? No! They first touch head-to-head (first sample to first sample). The only way to get that behaviour is by either flipping the filter or the signal.
I'm not going to write the definition of convolution. I'm sure you've seen it. I'll just put the discrete example here.
h = [1 2 3] x = [4 5 6] 4 5 6 ------- 3 2|1 |4 <- first output 3|2 1 |13 |3 2 1|28 <- last output for filter | 3 2|27 | 3|18 <- last output for conv c = conv(h,x) -> [4 13 28 27 18] filter(h,1,x) -> [4 13 28]
And the last two values, [27 18], are in the filter delay line.
You're probably also familiar with the polynomial multiplication trick. This procedure turns out to be the same way you multiply polynomials.
(1x^2+2x^1+3x^0)*(4x^2+5x^1+6x^0) -> (1*4)x^4+(1*5+2*4)x^3+(1*6+2*5+3*4)x^2+(2*6+3*5)x^1+(3*6)x^0 -> 4x^4+13x^3+28x^2+27x^1+18*x^0
Similarly, you can do polynomial division using deconv. If you take a
look at the matlab deconv function (type deconv), it implements deconv


More recently, there have some 20 years ago, a fixture suburban area was well with hanging on a chain of a pail, and a wood stove warmed smoothly occupants in the event of bad weather. Today, concern about health and comfort of the people entrusted with automatic and semi-automatic system that allows not to worry about where does the tap water and why the house always warm and comfortable, whatever the frost is not rampant in the streets. Unfortunately all these smart, and certainly useful devices can not operate without electricity and the electricity supply situation varies from one year only for the worse. The old substation and transmission line dilapidated, overloaded huge (and growing) number of consumers are increasingly breaking down. With proper drafting, even with zero-cycle construction, create a reserve supply of gasoline or diesel generator set.
If this was not done in a timely manner, the question arises how to properly and seamlessly 'write' power to existing facilities and infrastructure of object. Consider the details that need to taken to ensure power supply in a country house, office and industrial buildings. 1. For a country house. Time, candles, wood stoves and kerosene lamps from a distant past. Modern country house, whether a cozy cottage summer home or multi-level cottage is equipped with the latest technology, can not live without reliable electricity. Many faced the problem of interruptions in mains. One of the main challenges in solving these problems is the correct choice of generating set and voltage stabilizer.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) – A year after a farmer’s discovery, the University of Michigan will publicly display bones from a mammoth that lived more than 10,000 years ago.
The exhibit opens Saturday at the university’s Museum of Natural History. Scientists aren’t done yet: They plan to return to a Washtenaw County farm for another dig in November.
Jim Bristle, a farmer in Lima Township, discovered bones while installing a drain pipe in his soybean field. He called the University of Michigan, and experts recovered roughly 40 percent of the mammoth’s skeletal mass, including a skull with teeth and tusks.
The bones were just 10 feet below the surface. The mammoth may have been a hybrid, between a woolly mammoth and a Columbian mammoth.


Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor graduated with honors from Ivy League schools. But she may have learned some of her most memorable lessons as a young prosecutor, following police into abandoned tenements and tracking down witnesses on the grimy streets of New York.
Sotomayor joined the Manhattan District Attorney's office in 1979 during an epic crime wave. Muggings, burglaries and assaults were rampant; homicides topped 1,800 a year. She was recruited from Yale Law School by Robert M. Morgenthau, Manhattan's district attorney. She was 25, and her starting salary was $17,000.
The cases in Trial Bureau 50 seasoned the idealistic young lawyer and honed her trial skills. She could shred a witness on cross-examination and move a jury to tears, former colleagues recalled.
New York City was awash in heroin, street crime and gun violence. To prepare for trials, she followed police into tenement shooting galleries, scaled rickety staircases in dilapidated buildings and fought off the stench of squalor to talk to reluctant witnesses.
Sotomayor's former colleagues and her legal foes describe her as intense, driven and politically astute. Read full article »


Your child has been learning to pay attention to the beginning sounds in words and to match beginning sounds. It is important to reinforce these skills in a fun way as often as you can. Take turns saying pairs of words and asking if the words start with the same sound. You may need to stretch out the sound to emphasize it.
As an extension of this skill, your child is learning to isolate the beginning sound and produce words that start with that same sound. You can help your child learn these skills by saying words and asking your child to tell you the sound (not the letter) the words begin with. For example, say these words: bus/baseball/banana. Then ask your child what the beginning sound is, modeling a response: /b/ is the beginning sound! Continue with other groups of words that have the same beginning sound.
Take turns playing word games by saying a word and having your child say another word that starts with the same sound. You could do this a few times any time you're together, maybe waiting in line or taking a ride.
Your child's knowledge of printed letters is growing. Continue to encourage him or her to look for capital and lowercase letters in the environment—on signs, in books, and in other places. You can take turns playing “I Spy” and say a letter you see and ask your child to find it. You can also describe the shape—the lines and curves—of the letter to give as clues for your child to guess.
Take advantage of opportunities to write with your child. You will be modeling occasions for writing as well as giving your child the chance to see the formation of the letters. Maybe you'll make a shopping list, label a picture, or write a note. Your child can dictate parts of the list or note or create his or her own writing.
Vocabulary Boost: We're learning words about the city and the country! Here are some words to discuss with your child: city, country, crops, products, transportation, travel.


Parapelvic Cysts of the Kidney
Definition of Renal Parapelvic Cysts
Parapelvic cysts of the kidneys are simple renal cysts, which are adjacent to the renal pelvis or the renal sinus.
Etiology of Parapelvic Cysts
Lymph vessel cysts
Typical parapelvic cysts are multiple and most probable derive from lymphatic vessels, often associated with nephrolithiasis or urinary obstruction.
Simple renal cysts
Parapelvic cysts may also derive from the renal parenchyma adjacent to the renal pelvis. These cysts derive from the nephron.
Signs and Symptoms
Normally, there are no complaints. Parapelvic cysts can compress the pyelocaliceal system or ureter, cause flank pain or lead to other symptoms of urinary obstruction.
Diagnostic Work-Up of Parapelvin Cysts
Renal ultrasound should be sufficient for the diagnosis; in doubtful situations an intravenous pyelography, CT Abdomen or renal scintigraphy can rule out urinary obstruction.
Differential Diagnosis of Parapelvic Cysts
Hydronephrosis (upper urinary tract obstruction).
Treatment of Parapelvic Cysts
Treatment of parapelvic cysts is rarely necessary, see section simple renal cyst.

Law of the Aloha Spirit
[§5-7.5] “Aloha Spirit”. (a) “Aloha Spirit” is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each person to the self.
Each person must think and emote good feelings to others. In the contemplation and presence of the life force, “Aloha”, the following unuhi laula loa may be used:
“Akahai”, meaning kindness to be expressed with tenderness; “Lokahi”, meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony;
“Oluolu”, meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness;
“Haahaa”, meaning humility, to be expressed with modesty;
“Ahonui”, meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance.
These are traits of character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawaii’s people. It was the working philosophy of native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawaii. “Aloha” is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. “Aloha” means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. “Aloha” is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. “Aloha” means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.
(b) In exercising their power on behalf of the people and in fulfillment of their responsibilities, obligations and service to the people, the legislature, governor, lieutenant governor, executive officers of each department, the chief justice, associate justices, and judges of the appellate, circuit, and district courts may contemplate and reside with the life force and give consideration to the “Aloha Spirit”.

The surface of ice exhibits the swath of phase-transition phenomena common to all materials and as such it acts as an ideal test bed of both theory and experiment. It is readily available, transparent, optically birefringent, and probing it in the laboratory does not require cryogenics or ultrahigh vacuum apparatus. Systematic study reveals the range of critical phenomena, equilibrium and nonequilibrium phase-transitions, and, most relevant to this review, premelting, that are traditionally studied in more simply bound solids. While this makes investigation of ice as a material appealing from the perspective of the physicist, its ubiquity and importance in the natural environment also make ice compelling to a broad range of disciplines in the Earth and planetary sciences. In this review we describe the physics of the premelting of ice and its relationship with the behavior of other materials more familiar to the condensed-matter community. A number of the many tendrils of the basic phenomena as they play out on land, in the oceans, and throughout the atmosphere and biosphere are developed.

Basic Guidelines/Be Prepared
- Be aware of the surrounding area.
- Learn where emergency exits are. Think about how you would leave a building, subway, or busy place if there was an emergency and you had to hurry.
- Look around you. Be aware of heavy things that could fall or glass that could break. Move away from them if you can.
- Stay calm and follow the directions of emergency personnel and University officials.
- Be careful when traveling. Be aware of someone behaving unusually. Do not accept packages from strangers. Do not leave your luggage unattended. Always have it with you so that no one can put something into it.
- Prepare an Emergency Kit
- Know the emergency evacuation routes in campus buildings where you spend most of your time.
- If you are a person who has a disability and you will need assistance during an evacuation, contact the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSWD) now. OSWD staff members will work with you to develop an individual emergency plan, which will be used to help you during an emergency evacuation.
- Make sure your family knows how to contact you. Give important University contact information to your family.
- Make a habit of letting people know where you are and when you are expected to return - your family, your RA, your CRE or people in your office
