A file named in a primary is installed by copying the built file into the appropriate directory. The base name of the file is used when installing.
bin_PROGRAMS = hello subdir/goodbye
In this example, both ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ will be installed in ‘$(bindir)’.
Sometimes it is useful to avoid the basename step at install time. For
instance, you might have a number of header files in subdirectories of
the source tree that are laid out precisely how you want to install
them. In this situation you can use the
nobase_ prefix to
suppress the base name step. For example:
nobase_include_HEADERS = stdio.h sys/types.h
will install stdio.h in ‘$(includedir)’ and types.h in ‘$(includedir)/sys’.
For most file types, Automake will install multiple files at once, while
avoiding command line length issues (see Length Limitations). Since
install programs will not install the same file twice in
one invocation, you may need to ensure that file lists are unique within
one variable such as ‘nobase_include_HEADERS’ above.
You should not rely on the order in which files listed in one variable are installed. Likewise, to cater for parallel make, you should not rely on any particular file installation order even among different file types (library dependencies are an exception here).


Cheers! Turns out beer can protect you against the winter sniffles and even some serious illnesses in small children!
I guess there is a chemical compound in hops, the plant brewers use to give beer its bitter taste, provides an effective guard against a virus that can cause severe forms of pneumonia and bronchitis in youngsters, which is pretty cool!
In research with scientists at Sapporo Medical University, the compound — humulone — was found to be effective in curbing the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus, said the company, which funded the study.

The vertical-axis solar and wind generator on magnetic levitation is the newest development of our company.
This wind turbine generator is capable to convert wind energy coming from the base air acceptor and the up-rising air flows coming from warm surface (soil and turbine base) into electrical energy using the air pressure difference.
It has no vibrations, infrasound and starts to rotate at 1.5 m/s wind speed, reaches nominal (rated/plate) power output at 10 m/s and unlike traditional turbines continues to generate more and more energy till wind speed reaches 40 m/s.
For example, 10MW turbine will generate incredible 40MW at wind speed of 15 m/s.
For sure, this figure is impressive and can make anyone rich during hurricane, but what is more important – it starts to produce electricity at very low wind speed. You will have slow, but steady energy flow starting from 2 m/s.
Imagine, that your average wind is 5 m/s (quite good, actually, just look at this map), half of the year – below 3.5 m/s. Traditional turbine will start working at 3.5 m/s and it means, that it will stay dormant half of the year.
It allows creation of wind farms in areas where it was impossible before due to too high or too low winds.
Simple, no-friction construction minimizes maintenance and repair downtime, increases life span and efficiency overall.
The invention is protected with the Ukrainian and the US patents.


Wisconsin’s northern and central forests are home to 955 gray wolves. Wisconsin is one of about a dozen states in the country with a wild gray wolf population. Gray wolves, also referred to as timber wolves, are the largest wild members of the dog family. Wolves are social animals, living in family groups or packs. A wolf’s territory may cover 20-80 square miles, which is about one tenth the size of an average Wisconsin county. WDNR Website about wolves
The following video clip was shot in July 2017. When we got out of the vehicle a Raven began to talk to us.
The gray wolf in the western Great Lakes region is currently on the Federal Endangered Species List. This listing status limits the state of Wisconsin’s management authority including the authority to hold a trophy hunts on wolves.

Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate") is a term that has different meanings. For example, in 1952, Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn compiled a list of 164 definitions of "culture" in Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions. However, the word "culture" is most commonly used in three basic senses:
- excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture
- an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior thatdepends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning
- the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group.
When the concept first emerged in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe, it connoted a process of cultivation or improvement, as in agriculture or horticulture. In the nineteenth century, it came to refer first to the betterment or refinement of the individual, especially through education, and then to the fulfillment of national aspirations or ideals. In the mid-nineteenth century, some scientists used the term "culture" to refer to a universal human capacity. For the German nonpositivist sociologist Georg Simmel, culture referred to "the cultivation of individuals through the agency of external forms which have been objectified in the course of history".
In the twentieth century, "culture" emerged as a concept central to anthropology, encompassing all human phenomena that are not purely results of human genetics. Specifically, the term "culture" in American anthropology had two meanings: (1) the evolved human capacity to classify and represent experiences with symbols, and to act imaginatively and creatively; and (2) the distinct ways that people living in different parts of the world classified and represented their experiences, and acted creatively. Following World War II, the term became important, albeit with different meanings, in other disciplines such as cultural studies, organizational psychology and management

Nuclear reactors are the most intense man-controlled sources of neutrinos. They have played a key role all along the scientific history of neutrinos, first in the experimental discovery of these ghostly particles and then in the determination of their properties, in particular the parameters driving the oscillations during their propagation. par I'll start my presentation by a basic introduction of neutrino physics and the main open questions discussed in the community nowadays. Then I'll discuss the flux of electron anti-neutrinos emitted by the reactor core and the key parameters of their detection. Thanks to the steady progress of the liquid scintillator technology we'll see how the modern experiments entered in the high precision era of reactor neutrino detection with millions of events recorded. In 2011 the last unknown mixing angle, $theta_13$, was measured. This opened the door to future searches for the CP violation phase parameter of the mixing matrix using neutrino beams as well as ultra high precision measurements at reactors to determine the mass hierarchy of neutrinos. Another consequence of this quest of high precision is the revelation of the so-called ``reactor antineutrino anomaly'' that could be explained by the existence of a new neutrino state, a sterile neutrino. I'll present the experimental program in development across the world to test this hypothesis. Finally, routinely detected reactor neutrinos also led scientist to think about the first possible application of neutrinos as a new tool for the surveillance of reactor cores, in the framework of the non-proliferation of atomic weapons. I'll present a brief overview of the various projects and their interplay with improved detection technics for the fundamental research.


Garden & Nature Facts
It’s spring time once again and the gardens are alive with some magnificent changes. But what is more incredible is what goes on not only in our gardens, but in nature itself. Mother Nature doesn’t like to rush things, as evolution has shown, so its no wonder how delicate and intricate things can be. We’ve been doing some garden research and decided to share even more facts with you! According to the Guinness Book of Records, the tallest ever sunflower grew to 7.76m high! Lots of plants are used as dyes. One of the oldest blue dyes comes from a plant called Woad that has been used since Neolithic times – over 6000 years! Phytoplankton are tiny plants that can’t even be seen with the naked eye. But amazingly they produce half the oxygen in the world! According to the Guinness Book of Records, the world’s longest cucumber was grown in Essex, UK in 1986 and measured a whopping 1.1m (3ft 8in). It takes at least 5 years for a Bluebell seed to grow into a bulb! Seaweed contains a kind of gloopy jelly stuff that helps it hold onto water. It is also very useful for all sorts of other things - the carrageenan used for thickening ice cream comes from seaweed!Did you know, carrots actually come in a range of colours? White and yellow carrots come from Europe, and purple ones come from the Middle East. The orange ones are a fairly recent invention, created by crossing various other colours.

While India begins its most massive democratic exercise with more than nine hundred million citizens registered to vote in the country’s general elections, fact-checking and debunking fake news has also begun simultaneously. Despite efforts to prevent or curb the spread, many rumours have already been circulated during this period.
Some of the recent stories that have been circulating include: Firstly, how Sonia Gandhi, the leader of the main opposition Congress party is wealthier than the Queen of England. However, this story was debunked six years ago, and the origin of the story dates back to 2012. Secondly, fake news has been spreading on how the UN's Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) had named Mr Modi as the world's best prime minister. This is false information as the UNESCO does not provide such awards. Thirdly, fake news has been spreading on how prosthetic fingers are being used to allow people to vote multiple times.
Our assessment is that general elections in India has been one of the most awaited exercise, and it is evident that the proliferation of fake news would increase. We believe that though many initiatives are taken by the government together with social media companies to curb the spread, there has been only little impact.


Summarising Pupil C's attainment in shape, space and measures
Pupil C's attainment in shape, space and measures is judged to be secure in level 5. To make further progress in this level she needs to develop her reasoning about shapes, positions and movements. She needs to construct a range of 3-D shapes to improve her reasoning about how a given net is related to the shape it will create. She needs to solve a range of problems such as drawing a quadrilateral that has exactly two lines of symmetry or two different isosceles triangles that both have a 30° angle.


signal at a railway crossing typically occurs when a driver fails to stop or
continues through a signal at the crossing indicating that the vehicle must
stop. This is true whether or not a train is actually visible providing the
signal is activated and is indicating that the traffic should stop. It is
estimated that approximately 80% of all railway crossings in the United States
don't have gates or lights, but 40% of all accidents between trains and
vehicles occur at protected crossings. The cause is overwhelmingly driver's
stop at a railway crossing typically results in both fines as well as driver
responsibility penalties. Since this is a serious and very dangerous offense
the fines and penalties are typically significant even as a first offense.
Generally fines will start at about $200.00 and go up, and penalty points
assigned and, in some cases, if combined with other traffic violations there
can be suspension of the drivers license.
set 3 to 4 driver responsibility points for a charge of failing to stop at a
controlled railway crossing. For bus drivers or those with commercial driver's
license the penalties and fines will be significantly higher and can result in
loss of their driver's license. It may
also prevent individuals from obtaining a bus licenses or a CDL in the future.
Incorrect signal performance or signals that are hidden to the driver by trees or other obstructions may be mitigating factors in getting the charges dismissed. Working with an attorney is the best way to fight the ticket and prevent dramatic increases to your insurance, possible loss of driving privileges and additional costs to renew your driver's license.


I heard a speech where a potluck was described as a symbol of trust. His premise: We take potlucks at face value, believing that what is there is good and untainted (by heat, mishandling or ill intentions). We believe that to be true, even though life is not always like that.
Potlucks also represent a metaphor for the life choices we make:
Do you take whatever looks good, and think that everyone else can too?
Do you decide about each thing as you come to it without a strategy or plan?
Do you think you can throw away what you don’t like and take more of what you do?
Do you keep your options open and don’t commit until you see the whole spread?
Do you “cheat” a little or make disciplined choices?
Do you take the last piece or leave it in consideration of others?
I have not thought of potlucks the same since I heard this talk. Life is much more like a potluck than the more common smorgasbord metaphor. Potlucks are irregular. They feature specialties as well as experiments. They put combinations together that would never be served at the same meal otherwise. They allow us to try things, reject them or go back for more. It is not all laid out for us; you need to work at it and contribute.
Think of your life as a potluck. You may not know what you are eating, but you just may love it anyway.

Uranium is a highly toxic heavy metal, particulary to children. Since more than 80 years phosphate fertilisers are used in the worlds agriculture. It is well known, that uranium is a part of phosphat fertilisers that derive from the oceans sediments. In the time from 1950 to 2010 In Germany the farmers put more than 13.000 tons of uranium on the soils. Germanys drinking water is under threat because this kind of uranium (uranly ions) is highly soluble in water.

Ask three people about Angela Davis, and you’ll probably get four or five different descriptions.
Feminist? Communist? Criminal? Scholar? Vice Presidential Candidate?
If nothing else, she’s a #blaxit superstar. Her escape and the wisdom she brought back had a powerful impact on societal discourse in the United States.
Born black and female in Birmingham, Alabama in 1944, Angela’s life might have been brief and violent. She knew the four girls killed in the Birmingham Church bombing in 1963.
You’d have to ask Angela if she participated in a Junior Year Abroad in order to escape America, or to expand her own mind.
The experience certainly informed much of her life. According to Alice Kaplan, Angela’s time in France transformed herself, and “in turn transformed the cultural and political life of the United States”.
Kaplan’s book, Dreaming in French takes a look at the lives of three American women whose time outside of the United States influenced the rest of their lives.
Here’s an article featuring Angela that should be required reading for intelligent, empowered women considering an escape abroad.

Marriage and Same-sex Couples after Obergefell
By Gary J. Gates and Taylor N.T. Brown
This research brief analyzes the impact of the US Supreme Court’s decisions in Windsor v. United States (June 2013) and Obergefell v. Hodges (June 2015) on marriage by same-sex couples. In 2013, the year that the Windsor ruling was issued, an estimated 230,000 same-sex couples were married, 21% of all same-sex couples. By June 2015, when Obergefell was decided, 390,000 same-sex couples were married, 38% of all same-sex couples. As of October 2015, 486,000 same-sex couples were married, or 45% of all same-sex couples. The legal benefits and obligations of marriage now support these married couples, more than a quarter of whom are raising children, and the visibility of these families will likely continue to accelerate public support for marriage equality in the United States.


hi all attached is a question and answer from an exam paper which i am having trouble with.
firstly i do not see how they can state the ASA rule without further information.
secondly i would have drawn the perpendicular bisector of line YZ and labelled the point of intersection with YZ as W then stated
YW = WZ (common)
XY=XY (given XYZ isoscles triangle)
therefore triangle congruent SSS
any ideas please?
For the first thing -What more information were you expecting, can you be little specific
Originally Posted by sammy28

I guess you wanted to add some more --
Can you be a little more specific
Are you trying to find the ways of proving it other than those given (Smirk)
thanks ardash, i made a mistake in proving wrong triangles congruent (Itwasntme)
if you label the intersection of segments NZ and YM, O; then
for ASA to work i am thinking that angle ZYM = angle ZYX/2. but without extra given angles such as the angle at YNZ and the angle OYN or the angle YOZ then i dont see how to prove.
even if i were to draw a circle radius OY centre O then extend line segment YM to the circumferance i get the circle thm. ' the angle of a semi circle is a right angle', but this is no use to this problem.
You want to prove that triangles YMZ and ZNY are congruent using ASA rule.
It means that you need to show that :
1) angle NYZ = angle MZY
2) angle NZY = angle MYZ
3) side YZ = side YZ
1) triangle XYZ is isosceles with XY = XZ therefore angle XYZ = angle XZY
But N is on the segment [XY] therefore angle XYZ = angle NYZ
and M is on the segment [XZ] therefore angle XZY = angle MZY
Therefore angle NYZ = angle MZY
2) is given by construction of M and N
3) is of course evident
ASA rule shows that triangles YMZ and ZNY are congruent
thanks rg. i see my mistake now you point it out so clearly (Hi)

Dis- (?; 258)
A prefix from the Latin, whence F. d'es, or sometimes d'e-, dis-. The Latin dis- appears as di- before b, d, g, l, m, n, r, v, becomes dif- before f, and either dis- or di- before j. It is from the same root as bis twice, and duo, E. two. See Two, and cf. Bi-, Di-, Dia-. Dis- denotes separation, a parting from, as in distribute, disconnect; hence it often has the force of a privative and negative, as in disarm, disoblige, disagree. Also intensive, as in dissever.
⇒ Walker's rule of pronouncing this prefix is, that the s ought always to be pronounced like z, when the next syllable is accented and begins with "a flat mute [b, d, v, g, z], a liquid [l, m, n, r], or a vowel; as, disable, disease, disorder, disuse, disband, disdain, disgrace, disvalue, disjoin, dislike, dislodge, dismay, dismember, dismiss, dismount, disnatured, disrank, disrelish, disrobe." Dr. Webster's example in disapproving of Walker's rule and pronouncing dis- as diz in only one (disease) of the above words, is followed by recent orthoepists. See Disable, Disgrace, and the other words, beginning with dis-, in this Dictionary.
A prefix from Gr. twice. See Di-.

Driving in the wet and rain can be tricky at the best of times. However when you have kids in the car and your heading away for the school holidays then you really need to concentrate to ensure the safety of your family.
Here's some of our top tips for driving in the rain, including tyre safety, reducing the risk of aquaplaning, windscreen wipers and using lights in the rain.
Driving on wet and slippery roads can cause your car to aquaplane or hydroplane. Aquaplaning is when the water builds up around your car’s tyres and the road surface. It causes the tyres to lose traction with the road and prevents the vehicle from responding to controls.
Aquaplaning is not a pleasant experience, however you can reduce the risk of aquaplaning by making sure you check the following before you head away for the school holidays:
- Check your tyre tread and wear – you may need to rotate your tyres or purchase 2 or 4 new tyres
- Check your tyre pressure and ensure they are inflated to the correct level for your vehicle.
You may need to reduce your speed to a safe level to suit the road conditions when driving in the wet.
Don’t forget to check you windscreen wipers are working properly and change the wiper blades if necessary before you head off.
It is also a good idea to drive with you lights on in wet weather as visibility is reduced.
Need more advice?
For more information and professional advice book your car in for a service with your local Brakes + Mechanical Services mechanic before you go away these school holidays.

Most people that know anything about ASP.NET will realise that the authorisation rules are evaluated in order (from MSDN: "the authorization module finds the first access rule that fits a particular user account"), so in this case the
<allow /> will be evaluated first and all users will get access. Unfortunately, I am not one of these gifted people, and have been blissfully ignorant of this fact despite working with ASP.NET since its release in 2002*.
Feel free to express your ridicule in the comments :)
In other news related to both web.config and my ignorance, I discovered when reading up on this at MSDN that you can use
<allow users="./SomeLocalAccount" /> to reference the current computer if you are using local machine accounts, which has come in handy for the stuff I am working on today.
* By way of excuse for the inexcusable, a lot of my ASP.NET work has relied on old-style NTFS permissions (long story), or very basic rules like deny ? and allow *, so I’ve never ended up thinking much about this. When pressed on the topic I thought the strongest condition might take precedence :-\

Summary/Abstract: The town Razgrad from today was established in the XV century on a early Thracian, Roman and Bulgarian settlement. During the Renaissance and the period from the middle of the XIX century Bulgarians in Razgrad created their own municipality and joined the struggle for church independence and establishing a new school. In 1860 was built the current church "St.Nikolai" and the authority of the Ecumenical Patriarchate was rejected. For the educational and spiritual development of the city worked many of the citizens from whom more notable were S. Petrov, D. Hranov, A. Tsanov, N. Georgieva and others.

Unlike in Generation I, Guillotine can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Guillotine depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula: Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%. Guillotine ignores all changes to accuracy and evasion stats.
Guillotine will cause a Pokémon to instantly faint through 'calamitous damage', regardless of level, but is prone to missing.
|| A single-hit knockout attack. Learned only by Pokémon that have large pincers.
|| A one-hit KO, pincer attack.
|| A powerful pincer attack that may cause fainting.
|| A vicious tearing attack with pincers. The foe will faint if it hits.
|| A vicious, tearing attack with pincers. The foe will faint instantly if this attack hits.
|| A vicious, tearing attack with big pincers. The target will faint instantly if this attack hits.

For Beginner to Advanced: Age 5+
The flute has a bright and clear tone and people often find the warmth of this instrument hypnotic. It can be found in an orchestra or a wind band, often playing a high melody soaring over the top of other instruments.
An appropriate age to start on the flute can be around age 5 on a short “junior” flute especially designed for small children.
Children who have attended our Young Piano and Musicianship program may have a rhythmic, dexterous and musical advantage to start learning the flute at age 5. So if your child hasn’t attended this program, and you find that jumping straight into learning the flute feels sudden or too early for your young child, then we recommend a year or two of our YOUNG PIANO AND MUSICIANSHIP lessons or starting on the RECORDER first.
Age 7+ can start on a regular sized instrument (depending on the size of the child)
INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED
More experienced players may be keen to gain more confidence in their school band or might be working towards a higher level AMEB exam or an HSC performance.
Flute students will learn how to make a beautiful sound, read with ease, and learn tricks and practice tools to develop and progress at their own pace.
JP (Jean-Philippe Fleury) is a highly respected instrumental teacher and performer. He draws on various musical methodologies including Kodaly and Suzuki to assist note reading, ear development and technique, and sources Australian written books to educate and inspire his students. JP’s background in jazz means that he is also accomplished in teaching alternative styles of playing in addition to classical, including improvisation.
There are opportunities to perform in concerts, play in small groups and prepare for in house assessments and exams if desired.
JP toured the world for many years performing on the saxophone, flute and clarinet for all manner of artists from classical to jazz to musicals. His studied with Mark Promane and Alex Dean at Humber College in Toronto.


Acquisition of gender agreement in Lithuanian: Exploring the effect of diminutive usage in an elicited production task
Item TypeJournal Article
MetadataShow full item record
This study examines Lithuanian children's acquisition of gender agreement using an elicited production task. Lithuanian is a richly inflected Baltic language, with two genders and seven cases. Younger (N=24, mean 3;1, 2;5–3;8) and older (N=24, mean 6;3, 5;6–6;9) children were shown pictures of animals and asked to describe them after hearing the animal's name. Animal names differed with respect to familiarity (novel vs. familiar), derivational status (diminutive vs. simplex) and gender (masculine vs. feminine). Analyses of gender-agreement errors based on adjective and pronoun usage indicated that younger children made more errors than older children, with errors more prevalent for novel animal names. For novel animals, and for feminine nouns, children produced fewer errors with nouns introduced in diminutive form. These results complement findings from several Slavic languages (Russian, Serbian and Polish) that diminutives constitute a salient cluster of word forms that may provide an entry point for the child's acquisition of noun morphology.

Pap smear or Pap test is conducted as part of a woman’s routine health examination, after the age of 21 years. It is not a diagnostic test, but is a screening tool used to detect any abnormal cells in the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina.
Pap smears help in early detection of any serious medical conditions such as cervical cancer. Abnormal Pap smear may indicate the presence of infection or abnormal cells called dysplasia. Cervical dysplasia is abnormal cell growth on the surface of the cervix. An abnormal Pap smear may not necessarily denote cancer. These results highlight the requirement of supplementary testing to identify and confirm an underlying problem.
An abnormal pap smear may indicate any of the following:
Usually abnormal cells do not produce any symptoms. Moreover, even the presence of HPV in an abnormal Pap smear is asymptomatic. Therefore a regular Pap smear is beneficial in early detection of any abnormalities.
However, an abnormal Pap smear secondary to a sexually transmitted infection may induce the following symptoms:
Following an abnormal Pap smear, the next step is further testing to confirm the cause of the abnormal cells. A repeat Pap smear or test for human papilloma virus (HPV), a major risk factor for cervical cancer, may also be recommended.
Depending on the age of the patient and the type of abnormal cells, the doctor may recommend the following treatment options:
A Pap smear during pregnancy is very safe. In case of an abnormal Pap smear, a colposcopy can be performed during pregnancy. However, further treatments are delayed until the birth of the baby. Often, the birth process washes away the abnormal cervical cells.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights makes clear that every child has the right to a free basic education, so poverty and lack of resources should not be a barrier to schooling. Life Quilt Foundation was founded on September 11, 2010, by a group of family and friends wanting to ensure that right.
Why Life Quilt Foundation is Needed
A 2015 study by Communities in Schools, an education advocacy group, outlined 10 surprising reasons why children don’t go to school. Among the list: They’re hungry, they need school supplies, they need clothes or shoes. Life Quilt is there to help fill the gap, removing those barriers to school attendance.
The Huntington Backpack Index, a measure of the cost of educational supplies and activities indicates that the cost of supplies and extracurricular activities has increased from 2007-2016 by 88 percent for elementary school students, 81 percent for middle school students and 68 percent for high school students. For the 4 in 10 children in the US living near the poverty line, the ability to attend school and be an active participant can be nearly impossible. Life Quilt Foundation supports parents by helping to provide the tools needed to help their children succeed.
Improved academic performance. Fewer behavioral problems. Early identification of student learning problems. Greater teacher job satisfaction. These are all proven outcomes of parental involvement in their children’s education. Research from The National Association for the Education of Young Children highlighted the need for parental involvement, “School readiness involves more than just children. School readiness in the broadest
Life Quilt, in partnership with community resources, works to help parents strengthen their roles as their child’s first teacher.

SudetenArticle Free Pass
Sudeten, (German), Czech and Polish Sudety, system of east-west mountain ranges of northeastern Bohemia and northern Moravia, Czech Republic, bordering on Poland. The system has three subgroups: the West Sudeten range is composed of the Lusatian Mountains, the Jizera Mountains, and the Giant (Krkonoše) Mountains; the Middle Sudeten range includes the Orlice Mountains and the Broumovské range; the East Sudeten range is composed of the three elements of the Jeseník Mountains.
The Sudeten are the broken remnants of an ancient massif; the peaks, such as Sněžka (5,256 feet [1,602 m]) in the Giant Mountains, have flattened summits. Mineral deposits abound, but small workings long have been in decline. Farming is difficult on the rough terrain, and cottage industry and craftsmanship are still prevalent. The textile industry, particularly cotton, is widespread, having originally been located there to take advantage of the fast-flowing rivers; glass and porcelain are local specialties, often for export. The principal towns are Jablonec and Liberec, and there is a developing tourist industry, particularly in the Giant Mountains.

This book represents a milestone in our understanding of child development and what parents can do to give their children the best start in life. The author uses the latest scientific research to demonstrate how a baby’s relationship with the mother has a lasting and fundamental impact. She emphasizes ways that changes in society over the past fifty years—such as delayed motherhood, the limited practice of breastfeeding, and mothers’ early return to work—interfere with important developmental milestones that are essential to success and well being in later life.
“We need a state,” says Sally Goddard Blythe, “that gives children their parents and, most of all, gives babies their mothers back.”

Endowments for war in 1914
Avner Offer 19 September 2014
Victory in World War I relied on three types of energy: renewable energy for food and fodder, fossil energy, and high explosive. This column argues that the Allies had a clear advantage in manpower, coal, and agriculture, but not enough for a quick decision. Mobilisation in continental economies curtailed food production, occasionally to a critical level. Technical competition was a matter of capacity for innovation, not of particular breakthroughs. Coercive military service and rationing of scarce energy and food had egalitarian consequences that continued after the war.

Synopsis: Testing Quantum Gravity with Accelerators
To figure out how the smoothness of gravity can coexist with the intrinsically grainy world predicted by quantum field theory, physicists have to be able to explore physical phenomena at extremely short distances. According to Vahagn Gharibyan, a scientist working at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY), the tools to make these measurements exist, or soon will. He proposes that subtle changes to the refraction of light, predicted by certain theories of quantum gravity, could be measured using lasers and the relativistic electrons generated at high-energy electron accelerators.
General relativity, which accurately describes the motion of massive bodies like planets and galaxies, is believed to break down on distances close to the Planck length of x meters. Attempts at tweaking the equations of light to account for gravitational effects therefore add terms that only become significant at these distances, in some cases predicting an index of refraction for light in vacuum that is different than . But even the highest-energy particle accelerators in existence today only probe space on a scale of meters—far too large to observe these effects.
Gharibyan believes the breakdown of general relativity could be seen in a classic Compton scattering experiment, in which a photon scatters from an electron, shifting frequency in the process. In an earlier paper, he related the photon’s scattering angle and frequency to the refractive index of the surrounding medium. In his new work in Physical Review Letters, Gharibyan calculates the sensitivity of such an experiment to quantum gravitational effects, assuming the photons are provided by conventional lasers, and highly relativistic electrons are produced by PETRA III, an existing storage ring, or the planned International Linear Collider. – Jessica Thomas


For three decades in the fifth century b.c. the ancient world was torn apart bya conflict that was as dramatic, divisive, and destructive as the world wars of the twentieth century: the Peloponnesian War. Donald Kagan, one of the world’s most respected classical, political, and military historians, here presents a new account of this vicious war of Greek against Greek, Athenian against Spartan. The Peloponnesian War is a magisterial work of history written for general readers, offering a fresh examination of a pivotal moment in Western civilization. With a lively, readable narrative that conveys a richly detailed portrait of a vanished world while honoring its timeless relevance, The Peloponnesian War is a chronicle of the rise and fall of a great empire and of a dark time whose lessons still resonate today.

EPL is a system designed to steward and respond to learners at the level of their (as they are happening) learning needs. It includes a “Learner Interface (App)” an “Authoring Tool” and a “Learning Loop Manager” that together facilitate and manage a mutually learning oriented, ‘distributed dialogue‘ between facilitators, authors and learners.
In contrast to the notion of a ‘user’ interface, the learner interface was designed to respond to the various kinds of meaning needs that emerge when a person is learning. The original prototypes of the interface were built to run on Macintoshes. Metaphorically, the interface was a cross between an electronic book, a game machine and a Nautilus exercise machine. Subject content were like weights, the electronic book component made it easy to relate to and the game like qualities made it easy to make high speed choices between (potentially) hundreds of available options.
The principle intention of the system is to provide an environment that is responsive enough to the learner’s articulation of meaning needs that it exercises the learner’s ability to be more discriminating (disambiguating) (and trusting) of them in the first place.
Because these needs fluctuate at frequency levels we are barely conscious of, the interface was designed to provide the learner the means to choose among hundreds of situationaly relevant yet semantically/contextually related choices in an instant. This included 3 modes of interface: navigational, representational, referential.


Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) is bacteria that infects the lining of the stomach. It frequently causes gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) and can also cause peptic ulcers.
Most H. pylori infections are contracted in childhood and produce no symptoms.
The bacterial infection is very common, with about half of the world's population hosting it in their stomach. The bacteria are passed through contact with infected saliva, vomit, or fecal matter or through ingestion of contaminated food/water. Populations in areas with poor sanitation have a higher proportion of infected individuals.
SYMPTOMS OF H. PYLORI INFECTION
Helicobacter pylori infection can be asymptomatic, that is, without any symptoms. When it does produce symptoms, these can be similar to symptoms caused by other stomach disorders:
- Abdominal pain
- Bloating and fullness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Lack of appetite
Other symptoms of peptic ulcer or its complications, like peptic ulcer bleeding (anemia or low blood count, black or tar like stools, vomiting of dark brown or red material).
HELICOBACTER PYLORI TREATMENT
To prevent the H. pylori bacteria from becoming resistant to a single antibiotic, the infection is treated with two or sometimes three antibiotics simultaneously for up to 2 weeks.
An acid-suppressing medication is also commonly prescribed, as this also suppresses the bacteria and aids in its eradication from the stomach wall.


Molidae is the family of the molas or ocean sunfishes, bizarre-looking fish whose bodies come to an end just behind the dorsal and anal fins, giving them a "half-a-fish" appearance. They are also the largest of the bony fish, with the ocean sunfish Mola mola recorded at up to 3.3 m (11 ft) in length.
They have the fewest vertebrae of any fish, only 16 in Mola mola. They have fairly rough skin. Also, they completely lack all caudal bones, and most of their skeleton is made of cartilage. There are no bony plates in the skin; it is, however, thick and dense like cartilage. They also lack a swim bladder. The meat contains the same toxin as in pufferfish and porcupine fish, but not in the same amounts. Molids mostly swim by using their anal and dorsal fins, the pectoral fins are probably just stabilizers. To steer, they squirt a strong jet of water out of their mouth or gills. They are said to be able to produce sound by grinding their pharyngeal teeth, which are long and claw-like. Typical of a member of Tetraodontiformes, their teeth are fused into a beak-like structure, making it impossible for them to close their mouth.


This is the town that rubber built.
Butler was a sleepy town originally known as ‘West Bloomingdale’ in the early 1800s. There was some industry — notably, a small rubber mill operating on the river — but things started to cook when Richard Butler came to town. He took ownership of the Butler Hard Rubber Company, which later merged with its competitors, eventually becoming the American Hard Rubber Company. By the 1860s, the village of Butler also hosted the Pequanoc Rubber Company (which made ‘soft’ rubber products) and related companies.
The rubber industry pretty much grew the town, which in 1881 was named after the man who grew it. Streets were laid out, housing was built, and people came from all over to work in the rubber mill. A railroad line was built in 1871, which helped attract many other businesses and helped grow the town — but rubber ruled for over a century.
The rubber industry is long gone now, due to a spectacular fire in 1957, and the railroad station today houses the Butler Museum, which features a large collection of rubber memorabilia as well as several rooms well-stocked with area memorabilia.
By the way, Richard Butler has a connection to the Statue of Liberty. More on that down the line in the blog.
We’ll see more of the rubber industry later, including a spectacular fire that’s still talked about to this day.


Inflammatory illnesses are an indication for specific diagnostic studies and possible antimicrobial therapy. The presence of fecal leukocytes has been used as a marker of inflammatory diarrhea; however, microscopic examination of the fecal smear is unreliable if the specimen is transported, refrigerated, frozen, or collected by swab.
To evaluate a rapid, sensitive, semiquantitative test for detection of fecal leukocytes using antilactoferrin latex bead agglutination (LFLA), a test that remains sensitive even after specimens are refrigerated, frozen, or stored on swabs.
LFLA titers were determined in stool specimens from previously healthy volunteers before and after experimental infection with different enteric pathogens and from patients with nosocomial diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile.
Healthy controls and subjects with noninflammatory diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae consistently demonstrated LFLA titers less than 1:50. In contrast, subjects with inflammatory diarrhea caused by Shigella species and C difficile had markedly elevated titers. Titers for subjects with experimental shigellosis ranged from 1:50 to 1:3200, with seven (78%) of nine at 1:400 or greater. Titers for patients with C difficile enteritis ranged as high as 1:1200, with six (50%) of 12 at 1:400 or greater. Subjects with experimental enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection also had elevated titers, ranging from 1:100 to 1:1600, with three (43%) of seven at 1:400 or greater. Titers for subjects with experimental enterotoxigenic E coli infection were moderately elevated, with nine (53%) of 17 ranging from 1:50 to 1:200 (only one [6%] of 17 was ≥1:400), suggesting a mild inflammatory process.
The fecal LFLA assay distinguishes inflammatory from noninflammatory diarrhea, may provide new information on mildly inflammatory processes, and may be a useful, rapid test in a diagnostic algorithm for acute, infectious diarrheal illnesses.(Arch Intern Med. 1994;154:2660-2664)


Fire Detection System
Fire is one of the most dangerous events possible; somewhere in the world, one occurs every minute of every day. While fire can be our friend in some instances, it can be our worst enemy when it’s uncontrolled and allowed to continue through a building. Fire is, of course, destructive, and the smoke from a fire creates a toxic, dangerous atmosphere. The rapid detection of a fire and its control can save several thousand lives, thousands of injuries, and millions of dollars in property loss each year.
Current Fire-Detection Systems:
The fire-detection system today consists of an FACP this is the system’s brain, and it’s capable of making rapid decisions. fire detection has advanced to where smoke detectors and alarm devices have combined to become life-safety systems. The purpose of an automatic fire-alarm system is to detect an occurrence, alert the control panel and proper authorities, and notify the occupants to take action.

Colours and Stories: online workshop
In this online workshop children between the ages of 6 and 11 create a video story together! Based upon the Tony Cokes exhibition, and more precisely the artist's peculiar use of colour, they are encouraged to look, to feel, and to make associations when looking at colours. Which memory or which feeling does a certain colour provoke? Which objects get shaped in your mind? Building upon these questions, the children will start writing and share their texts in pairs. How similar or different can stories be that originate from the same colour? In the end, they get to work and creatively merge two memories into a peculiar, exciting, crazy or touching video story in their common favourite colour!
After a virtual sneak-peak of our current exhibition, kids can follow the instructions to write their own visual story based on the mixing of their favorite color and song. Just follow the video and start creating in the style of Tony Cokes!

All the pregnancy tests look for a pregnancy hormone in the woman's urine or blood. This specific pregnancy hormone, what is only made in the woman's body when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Most of the times this happens around 6 days after conception. Almost all the pregnancy tests claim to tell you if you are pregnant on your next period day. It is much better to wait one week after your missed period to give a more accurate result.
Ovulation, conception and pregnancy tests
Don't forget that every woman has a differtent time schedule for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. If your pregnancy test doesn't give a positive result, it doesn't mean you are not pregnant! It is possible you ovulate later than you thought or that the implantation off the fertilized egg took longer than the average.
Pregnancy test sensitivity
The sensitivity of most of the pregnancy tests vary. It is obvious that some testsets will pick up your pregnancy earlier than your period is due. How lower the level of the pregnancy hormone means the test is more sensitive. A testset with a low sensitivity picks up a pregnancy at 6 to 8 days past the ovulation. But most of the women get a positive result around the 9 or 10 days.
Accuracy of home pregnancy tests
Most of the home pregnancy tests are very good and accurate. But this specific accuracy depends on a few things:
Follow the directions on the test and check the expiration date
Wait one week after a missed period to test to have the most accurate result
Some women will need to wait longer, so be patient
The quality of the home test is very important
It is best to let your healthcare provider confirm your pregnancy.
When you take a home pregnancy test
Most of the testsets claim to be 99% accurate on the day you miss your period. Always ask your doctor or healthcare provider for a more sensitive test.


A lively tradition of provincial Mexican religious art has existed from the Spanish colonial period through the present day. The subject of this devotional image, rendered in the popular medium of painted tin, also appeared in more formal colonial Mexican altar paintings. Perched on the tips of the fingers of a detached hand, Christ appears flanked by his parents and his grandparents, Anna and Joachim. The symbol of the hand, deriving from the European cult of Saint Anne, also bears the wound of the stigmata in reference both to the Crucifixion and to the life of Saint Francis; the seven lambs, drinking here from the chalice of Christ's blood, derive from the Book of Revelations.

Creating Your Book
You’re going to love every step of creating your Binding Tales storybook! Here are a few how-to tips to help guide you in the right direction.
Start by reading through the entire book with an adult. This will help you think about how the story will unfold as you are writing and drawing pictures.
Ask questions (espcially if you get stuck) and work together. Working together as a team adds to the fun!
The paper in your book works best with pencils, crayons and colored pencils.
Be creative and have fun, there’s no limit to your imagination.
Inspire others with your masterpiece! Take a picture while you show off your favorite pages of the finished book and tag
@BindingTales on social media!
Co-authoring a book is something to be very proud of! GREAT job! We’re proud of you!
Guided composition provides a series of writing prompts to spark ideas and lead a child into writing sentences that tell a story. And an illustration prompt? A few are merely a blank composition box to hold a drawing, while others offer a very simple line drawing to encourage creativity and get your young artist drawing. The key is in offering a simple framework they transform into their very own storybook.


My Child was just diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – do I need a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)?
If your child has ASD, he/she has social communication difficulties. These might include:
- joint attention,
- referencing and eye contact,
- shared enjoyment of activities
- having difficulty playing with peers,
- taking turns in conversations
- understanding other people’s intentions
- understanding other people’s perspectives
In addition, your child might have difficulties with:
- motor speech skills (articulation of speech sounds),
- understanding language
- using language
- telling stories
- understanding jokes
Some children with ASD might be non verbal and thus need an augmentative and alternative communication system. These systems are designed by SLPs.
An SLP is trained to assess, diagnose and treat the above goals.

Question: Are PVC’s considered an arrhythmia disorder and are they dangerous?
PVCs may indicate the presence of underlying heart disease. If a patient has NO significant underlying heart disease, PVCs are probably not dangerous. Most “antiarrhythmic” drugs are relatively poor at treating PVCs (though they often reduce their frequency.) and can make dangerous arrhythmias more likely. Doctors and patients should thus be very reluctant to treat PVCs with drugs other than Beta Blockers (drugs that block the effect of adrenaline). Since beta blockers are generally well tolerated and do not make the arrhythmia worse, they are often worth a try. However, patients with NEW palpitations should be checked because that may indicate something serious may have happened to their heart.
In general, patients should try to eliminate caffeine, tobacco and alcohol usage, as it may reduce the frequency of PVCs.
Thus, PVCs sometimes are a marker for underlying cardiac diseases that are dangerous!
Hope this helps,

In theory, it’s possible to eat nutritiously for cheap, but that’s not how things are playing out in real Americans’ diets. Studying adults in Washington state, researchers found that consuming the government’s recommended amount of just one nutrient–potassium–cost consumers an extra $380 per person, or $1520 per year for a family of four.

Largest Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Installation in U.S. Operating at Texas A&M
© Texas A&M Corpus Christi
Texas A&M University Corpus Christi is now the proud owner of the largest vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) installation of its kind in the United States, thanks to the launch of three 20-kW and eight smaller turbines installed across its campuses.
These eleven VAWTs are capable of a producing combined output of 92 kW and will help to not only power the university, but to also create learning and research opportunities for students and staff. According to the University, because of the area's strong afternoon winds, the turbines will generate peak power during the time when the demand for electricity on campus is peaking.
"Typically, we have high-speed winds in the afternoon, so the wind is in sync with the high power demand the campus experiences during the daytime. At many other locations across the country, the needed high-speed winds occur at night outside of the peak-power demand phase." - Dr. L.D. Chen, associate dean of Engineering and Computing Sciences
One of the small 4-kilowatt campus wind turbines is mounted on a tilt-up tower so it can be lowered horizontally and opened for inspection and service, allowing hands-on access for students. In addition, the power output of the turbines and the wind conditions on campus are being monitored and posted to a website for both students and the public to use.
"The harvesting of wind energy for power generation will significantly increase the University’s installed capacity of renewable energy, and greatly reduce its carbon footprint, saving an estimated $18,000 to $25,000 a year in utility costs. The wind turbines will produce an estimated 217,946 kilowatt hours of electricity generated from renewable resources." - Texas A&M Corpus Christi

This research investigates how colonists adapted to their new tropical environment after a destructive earthquake occurred in Jamaica on June 7, 1692. This earthquake killed approximately two thousand people and destroyed half of the bustling harbor town of Port Royal. The earthquake dramatically changed the landscape of England's most successful Caribbean town and affected the colonists.
Historian Richard Dunn contended that colonists did not adapt to their tropical environment for at least a century after first inhabiting the Caribbean. This study argues against Dunn's theory in that the earthquake served as a catalyst in accelerating the colonists' rate of adaptation to their environment. This adaptation is evident because colonists changed the inherited ideas brought with them from England regarding building styles and town design, and the earthquake accelerated Jamaica's transition to a planter-dominated society.

Unformatted text preview: Sickle-Cell Anemia Sickle-cell anemia is an abnormality of hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in our blood. Hemoglobin is contained within red blood cells. When the oxygen concentration in the hemoglobin molecules becomes low, the molecules stick together forming long rods that distort the cell (picture below). The cells break down or clog blood vessels causing pain, poor circulation, jaundice, anemia, internal hemorrhaging, low resistance, and damage to internal organs. Death usually occurs before age 50. Heterozygotes (carriers) are not affected with anemia and are resistant to malaria. Eight to ten percent of African Americans carry the allele (have sickle-cell trait)....

Materials used in wire have varied over the years. Copper has always been the first choice because it is such a good conductor and is very flexible. In the 1960 to 1970’s, aluminum wire became popular due to the rising cost of copper. Insulation was usually rubber although rubber tended to corrode due to exposure to moisture and air. PVC compounds are now used most commonly as wire insulation. Insulation is made in different colors to identify wiring circuits in a system.

“If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.” Mark Twain
You may have heard this quote before, but I cannot help but think of how powerful it is for leadership.
Leaders will influence small and large groups of people. Their influence is going to be measured by the level of honesty perceived.
When leaders are seen as being dishonest, people will not follow.
When leaders are seen as honest, the opposite is true.
I remember hearing “honesty is the best policy” throughout my life. I have certainly grown to understand and appreciate the value of this thought, even when it might seem easier to bend the truth.
Because leaders are going to be involved in the lives of so many people, Mark Twain’s statement carries even greater implication.
There is never a need to remember what was said about someone or some situation if we always rely on the truth. It eases the need to exhaust our memories to figure out if we were honest or dishonest.
The result of practicing this truth has lasting repercussions on our leadership.


Git is a VCS (Version Control System) which is designed to handle the development and maintaining process of any given collaborative project. It allows developers and project managers to efficiently and easily overview the changes happening in the source of their program, and configure it as they desire. It is the most commonly used VCS in the world at the moment, especially for open source programs.
Users are arranged into different groups on all Linux-based systems. The whole idea behind this is that it makes the administration of the system easier, as the users can be arranged into different groups, and can be granted different permissions as required by the system administrator. The same user can be included in different groups, and the same file can be given different permissions based on the groups.
This article is about how to add a user to a group.
This article shows how to check which version of Ubuntu you are running. This information is often required when you need to describe any issue that you’ve been having on your system, and want to request help on online forums. It also helps when you want to write about any specific feature that is only present in the release that you are using.
The passwords for user accounts often need to be changed. This is mostly done by the users themselves, but often, they have to be overridden by the administrator to control any illegitimate activity by any of the users. Because of these reasons, Linux provides a wide range of options for user account password management. We have discussed some of these useful options below:


Viscount Harcourt, of Stanton Harcourt in the County of Oxford, was a title that was created twice, once in the Peerage of Great Britain and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was first created in Great Britain in 1711 for Simon Harcourt, Lord Chancellor. For more information on this creation, which became extinct in 1830, see Earl Harcourt. The title was created a second time in 1917 in favour of Lewis Vernon Harcourt. He was made Baron Nuneham, of Nuneham Courtenay in the County of Oxford, at the same time, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Harcourt was the son of Sir William Vernon Harcourt, son of William Vernon Harcourt, son of the Right Reverend Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt, son of George Venables-Vernon, 1st Baron Vernon, by his third wife Martha Harcourt, daughter of Simon Harcourt, son of Simon Harcourt, 1st Viscount Harcourt. The title became extinct on the death of the first Viscount's son, the second Viscount, in 1979..

Canadian Cardiovascular Society has issued new atrial fibrillation guidelines.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is a significant cause of stroke, illness in general, and death. It is, for example, the leading cause of stroke in the elderly. The past year has seen important changes in the drugs available to treat atrial fibrillation and in our understanding of their indications and complications. These changes will strongly affect how doctors treat this important condition. The Canadian Cardiovascular Society has accordingly updated its guidelines for drugs to prevent strokes and to control the heart rhythm, providing important new guidance to practicing doctors as to how to treat the condition, prevent potentially serious negative consequences, and avoid complications of therapy.
Advertisement"These Canadian Cardiovascular Society guidelines provide the first detailed analysis of how the mass of recently obtained important information should be applied to change the ways that doctors handle this challenging clinical problem. They will have a significant impact on how the condition is treated worldwide," comments Stanley Nattel, MD, Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.

The 9mm caliber is quite possibly the most popular caliber
of pistol rounds, especially in the United States, because of how cheap and
available the ammo is. Known by many names, including 9 mil, 9x19mm, 9mm luger,
9mm NATO, and 9mm Parabellum (Latin for “Prepare for war if you seek peace,”)
the 9mm round was first manufactured by the German weapons Manufacturer
Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken , or DWM for short, in 1902 and created by
George Luger (hence the name 9mm Luger). It began to be used by the German Navy
in 1904 and later by their army in 1906.
It was designed to increase the bullet’s ability to
penetrate through an enemy soldier’s gear, with an emphasis on completely
disabling the enemy combatant, either through wounding or killing them. Surprisingly,
when pitching his round to manufacturers, Luger put on emphasis on wounding and
not killing. After the first World War, countries all over the world began
using this caliber. Now, law enforcement and military agencies, as well
civilian shooters, all over the world call this caliber their favorite.
In the modern gun era, the 9mm caliber size has attributed
to the rise in the popularity of semi-automatic pistols, hence making the round
popular to reload, as well. Since its creation, the 9mm has seen tremendous
advancements in bullet technology, with a vast array of bullet options
available, from ball rounds to extremely effective hollow-points.
Each box contains 1,000+ once fired brass shell casings with a nickel finish. These are unprocessed nickel casings sourced from commercial shooting ranges. They contain different manufacturer's headstamps. It is recommended that all brass be inspected, prior to being reloaded and fired.

Medicalized motherhood paper
It takes a community to raise a child: black working class motherhood
African Americans in a historical context remain the only group of people in the United States brought to this country against their will. America’s patriarchal sexist and racist social structure affects not only the lives of people of color as a whole but also especially the lives of women of color. Sociologist Jacquelyn S. Litt writes about a group of working class black mothers living in Philadelphia. Motherhood is an experience unique to an individual yet common to the collective of women. However, social stratification and a white male dominated medical industry have forced this group to become a self functioning entity, independent of any normative medical discourse.
The majorities of lower class or working poor black women interviewed in Litt’s book either live in the south, or had at some point migrated to the north. Most were single mothers however, some moved to the north with their husbands. The mothers that did migrate to the north did so in pursuit of better jobs and better living conditions. They were nonetheless met with resistance by a classist, sexist, racist medical community. All of the working class mothers had domestic jobs such as maid or cooks or work in the laundry industry. These jobs kept them away from their families and communities laboring for long hours only the meagerness of wages to support their families.
America as a nation began going through what is known as the progressive era in the late 1920’s. The country began shifting from individualized health care and mothering to state and public ran facilities. Most of the Eastern Europeans that began immigrating to the United States at this time were able to use these resources. However, the current racist culture viewed the African- American community as inferior and unable to assimilate into normative American culture....

Gloster Meteor F.3 EE52 in flight. No. 616 Squadron RAF received the first Meteor F 3 on December 18, 1944. This was a substantial improvement over the Meteor F 1, but the basic design still had not reached its full potential. Wind tunnel and flight tests demonstrated that the original short nacelles that extended just before and behind the wing, contributed heavily to compressibility buffeting at high speed. New, longer nacelles not only cured some of the compressibility problems but added 120 km/h (75 mph) at altitude, even without upgraded powerplants. The last batch of Meteor F 3s featured the longer nacelles while other F 3s were retrofitted in the field with the new nacelles. The F 3 also had the new Rolls-Royce Derwent engines, increased fuel capacity, and a new larger, more strongly raked bubble canopy. On January 20, 1945, four Meteors were moved to Melsbrook in Belgium. In March, the entire squadron was moved to Gilze-Rijen and, then in April, to Nijmegen. The Meteors flew armed reconnaissance and ground attack operations without encountering any German jet fighters. By late April, the squadron was based at Fassberg, Germany and suffered its first losses when two pilots collided in poor visibility. The war ended with the Meteors having destroyed 46 German aircraft through ground attack and having faced more problems through misidentification as the Me 262 by Allied aircraft and flak than from the Luftwaffe!

Purchase of green power would be most preferred by individuals and businesses concerned with environmental safety. Investment in research into renewable and green sources of power should be increased to enhance human lifestyle in the future. The power independence of a nation may depend on the sources of energy it consumes. The greener the sources of energy are the better for the climate of a nation. Certificates of renewable energy are issued by nations to businesses and individuals who support the environmentally friendly green energy.
Green power also features alternatively as renewable energy. This type of energy is non polluting and clean source. These sources are mostly either none polluting entirely or emit very less pollution. The environmental damage or impact that could be considered may be almost negligible. Fossil fuel, coal and gas sources of energy are non renewable and have a very large impact on the environment. Climatic changes ranging from polluted water bodies to acid rain can emerge as a result of using these sources of power. Global warming seems to be the most major concern when considering non renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels, coal and gas. The amount of CO2 that reaches into the sky drastically increases with this type of usage and results in damage to the environment. Brown energy is the exact opposite of renewable and friendly sources of energy. These sources cause extreme damage and have a negative impact on the climate.


How can families and museums help kids become scientists? NC State is working to find out by partnering with three museums–Marbles Kids Museum, the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences–to engage families in STEM activities and encourage students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Research shows that kids in families who engage in activities together are more likely to continue those activities as they get older. If we create an environment where youth and their families see science and engineering as something they do for fun and where they feel supported and valued, they will develop an interest in exploring science and engineering beyond the life of the project. By engaging the families with scientists and engineers in an immersive experience, we can transform their knowledge and views of STEM careers.
“This project has the potential to transform how we think about career education and can make learning STEM a part of the normal activities that North Carolina’s families do for fun. We want every child to find new interests in science and engineering and give serious thought to a career in these areas. ” -Dr. Gail Jones, Alumni Distinguished Graduate Professor

The word Pala means protector in Sanskrit. Under the rule of the Pala kings significant developments took place in the field of arts in the states of Bihar and Bengal.
This standing Pala sculpture of Vishnu depicts him in a four-handed form. He is shown as the cosmic monarch. His upper left hand holds the discus as his upper right hand bears the mace. His lower left hand would have held the conch. His lower right hand bears a lovely lotus flower. He stands on a double lotus pedestal. He is flanked on his left by Saraswati and on his right by Laxmi. Saraswati holds her musical instrument, the veena while Laxmi holds a flywhisk. His facial features are clear and his posture emits confidence. Above Vishnu on either side, two apsaras can be seen. Two attendants and floral motifs occupy the lower part of the sculpture. Vishnu's fingers are delicately executed and the face exhibits a radiant smile. His emblem the Srivatsa is prominently placed on his chest.
The work is a typical example of the school. In the centuries after, the school had a significant impact on the arts of Nepal, Tibet and Southeast Asia.

Ten Vulnerable Malayan Snail-eating Turtles (Malayemys subtrijuga) and an Endangered Yellow-headed Temple Turtle (Heosemys annandalii) were rescued by Ministry of Environment’s Rangers and Community Patrol Team inside the Prek Toal Core Area and Ramsar Site of the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve while the teams were patrolling.
After confiscation, the Prek Toal team educated those offenders about Protected Area Law that does not allow them to poach wildlife and collected eggs inside the Protected Area. Those turtles were immediately released back into the wild. Prek Toal Conservation Teams are working hard to safeguard waterbirds and other important wildlife in Prek Toal while hundreds of thousand waterbirds, such as Greater and Lesser Adjutants have arrived at Prek Toal for breeding.
Conservation Activities at Prek Toal Core Area and Ramsar Site would not be possible without financial supports from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) and Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies.


There is no single best language when it comes to web development. Instead, a good designer uses several languages to arrive at the final product we see on screen. There are various levels of the development languages. In this article, we will look at the basic building blocks of a website.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is the standard markup language used for content on the web. HTML defines the structure and format of the content we see online. The primary elements of the page like the title, headings, tables, and text are part of the HTML document. It is the core of the internet, and even other programming languages will output HTML for display in a browser. You can design a page with only HTML, although it would look dated. A recent addition that made pages more palatable was CSS.
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is a language that allows web developers to come up with styles and then apply them to an entire site. CSS, paired with HTML allows a designer to define the look and feel of every element on a website, and then apply that across that site. In the past, the designer set the look and feel on each page. Now, with CSS, each page is linked to a stylesheet. Change the style of an element in the stylesheet, and it will change across the site.
HTML and CSS are the two most important building blocks for web pages. Anyone involved in web design, programming should be proficient in both.

Just the other day, I was walking by the ‘Duck Pond’ – a place I frequented as a child. I noticed a really unusual effect in the fountain at the middle of the pond. Fortunately, I had my glass on and was able to capture it to share with my students. I’m still not 100% sure what was going on, but I’ll see if my students can figure it out.
I’ve been having tons of fun creating STEMbite videos using glass, and I’m eager to keep making a new video each week. I find that I keep my eyes more open each day as I look for opportunities to demonstrate math or science concepts in the world around me. I can tell that I’m refining the ‘habit of the mind’ to see STEM wherever I look.
It makes me think – “looking for STEM” would be an interesting assignment for my students… maybe a good spring break assignment: “During spring break, find 5 examples of science or math from everyday life. Write them down and come back to class ready to share.”
Actually, maybe spring break is a bad idea. They could find themselves “Looking for STEM in all the wrong places… ”


High Blood Pressure and I.Q.
By Health Day
Baby's I.Q. might be at risk.
That's the news from the journal Neurology.
Researchers in Finland reviewed medical records looking at the blood pressure readings from a group of pregnant women who delivered a total of 398 sons between 1934 and 1944.
Each male's cognitive thinking abilities were tested at age 20 and then again at about 69. Language skills, math reasoning and visual and spatial relationships were all measured.
When tested as seniors, the men with mothers who had high blood pressure during pregnancy scored more than four points lower than those who's mothers did not have high blood pressure. The same group also scored lower at age 20. Math abilities were most affected.
The researchers believe that these cognitive declines in old age could have originated in the womb...when the majority of the development of brain structure and function occurs.
