Apalachicola_River
|
The Apalachicola River -LSB- æpəlætʃᵻˈkoʊlə -RSB- is a river , approximately 112 mi -LRB- 180 km -RRB- long in the State of Florida . This river 's large watershed , known as the ACF River Basin for short , drains an area of approximately 19500 sqmi into the Gulf of Mexico . The distance to its farthest headstream in northeast Georgia is approximately 500 miles -LRB- 800 km -RRB- . Its name comes from the Apalachicola tribe , which used to live along the river . It is formed on the state line between Florida and Georgia , near the town of Chattahoochee , Florida , approximately 60 mi northeast of Panama City , by the confluence of the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers . The actual confluence is submerged in the Lake Seminole reservoir formed by the Jim Woodruff Dam . It flows generally south through the forests of the Florida Panhandle , past Bristol . In northern Gulf County , it receives the Chipola River from the west . It flows into Apalachicola Bay , an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico , at Apalachicola . The lower 30 mi -LRB- 48 km -RRB- of the river is surrounded by extensive swamps and wetlands except at the coast . The watershed contains nationally significant forests , with some of the highest biological diversity east of the Mississippi River , and rivalling that of the Great Smoky Mountains . It has significant areas of temperate deciduous forest as well as longleaf pine landscapes and flatwoods . Flooded areas have significant tracts of floodplain forest . All these southeastern forest types were devastated by logging between 1880 and 1920 and the Apalachiola contains some of the finest remaining examples in the southeast . The endangered tree species Florida Torreya is endemic to the region ; it clings to forested slopes and bluffs in Torreya State Park along the east bank of the river . The highest point within the watershed is Blood Mountain at 4458 ft , near the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River . Where the river enters the Gulf of Mexico it creates a rich array of wetlands varying in salinity . These include tidal marshes and seagrass meadows . Over 200,000 acres of this diverse delta complex are included within the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve . There are also dunes with coastal grasslands and interdunal swales . The basin of the Apalachicola River is also noted for its tupelo honey , a high-quality monofloral honey , which is produced wherever the tupelo trees bloom in the southeastern United States . In a good harvest year , the value of the tupelo honey crop produced by a group of specialized Florida beekeepers approaches $ 900,000 each spring . During Florida 's British colonial period the river formed the boundary between East Florida and West Florida . Geologically the river links the coastal plain and Gulf Coast with the Appalachian Mountains . During the last ice age , it likely provided a route for trees to move south from the Appalachians and take refuge from the northern cold . Some of the remaining important areas of natural habitat along the river include Apalachicola National Forest , Torreya State Park , The Nature Conservancy Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve , Tates Hell State Forest and Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area , as well as the Apalachicola River Water Management Area . It has been suggested that this watershed should be nationally ranked and appreciated as being as significant as the Everglades or Great Smoky Mountains . To raise awareness about the importance of preserving the natural state of the river and its inhabitants , Florida film producer Elam Stoltzfus highlighted this system in a PBS documentary in 2006 . The river forms the boundary between the Eastern and Central time zones in Florida .

Culture_of_the_Faroe_Islands
|
The culture of the Faroe Islands has its roots in the Nordic culture . The Faroe Islands were long isolated from the main cultural phases and movements that swept across parts of Europe . This means that they have maintained a great part of their traditional culture . The language spoken is Faroese . It is one of three insular Scandinavian languages descended from the Old Norse language spoken in Scandinavia in the Viking Age , the others being Icelandic and the extinct Norn , which is thought to have been mutually intelligible with Faroese . Until the 15th century , Faroese had a similar orthography to Icelandic and Norwegian , but after the Reformation in 1538 , the ruling Danes outlawed its use in schools , churches and official documents . This maintained a rich spoken tradition , but for 300 years the language was not written down . This means that all poems and stories were handed down orally . These works were split into the following divisions : sagnir -LRB- historical -RRB- , ævintyr -LRB- stories -RRB- and kvæði -LRB- ballads -RRB- , often set to music and the mediaeval chain dance . These were eventually written down in the 19th century mostly by Danish scholars .

Tucker_bag
|
A tucker bag is a traditional food or dinner storage bag used in the Australian outback . Typically a tucker bag was carried by a swagman or bushman . In its basic design a tucker bag is a pouch or bag with a single entry typically closed with a hoden . Tucker bags can come in a variety of sizes and in its larger form can be used for carrying other utensils and sleeping gear other than food . In this way the tucker bag can be regarded as an early form of backpack . Common materials used to make tucker bags were leather or oilskin . The term tucker bag appears in a number of traditional Australian songs and poems , including the lyrics in Waltzing Matilda `` Whose is that jumbuck you 've got in your tucker bag ? '' , reflecting the tucker bag 's place in Australian culture and history . The title of the song itself derives from the way a tucker bag swayed to-and-fro on a swagman 's back as he walked along , who was said to be out `` waltzing Matilda '' , i.e. , the tucker bag . In more modern times , tucker bags have become associated with reusable grocery bags used when shopping or traveling . Modern bags are typically made from polyester and come in a variety of styles and designs .

II is the second studio album by American R&B quartet Boyz II Men , released on August 30 , 1994 on Motown Records . It contained the No. 1 singles `` I 'll Make Love to You '' and `` On Bended Knee '' , the latter of which replaced the former at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 , making the group the third artist to replace themselves at No. 1 in the United States after Elvis Presley and The Beatles and the first to achieve the feat in 30 years . `` I 'll Make Love to You '' also spent 14 weeks at the top of the Hot 100 making them the first artist to achieve consecutive double digit runs at the top , with their prior single `` End of the Road '' topping the charts for 13 weeks and also equaled the record set by Whitney Houston 's `` I Will Always Love You '' for the longest run at the top , a record which they held previously with `` End of the Road '' . Other singles released achieved major success , including `` Water Runs Dry '' , which reached No. 2 , and `` Thank You '' , which reached No. 21 . `` Vibin ' '' , however , only reached No. 52 . The spoken track `` Khalil -LRB- Interlude -RRB- '' is a tribute to their road manager Khalil Roundtree who was shot in Chicago , Illinois while the band was opening for MC Hammer 's Too Legit to Quit tour . II became the inaugural winner of the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album , first presented at the 37th Grammy Awards in 1995 . According to producer Bob Robinson of the duo Tim & Bob , he and his partner Tim Kelley were asked by Boyz II Men to produce most of II . However , Motown Records then-president Jheryl Busby did n't feel comfortable with the idea of two unknown producers dominating a second album from a group that was one of the biggest acts in the world at the time . As a result , Busby brought in Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Babyface to deliver hit singles for the project . Busby insisted on `` I 'll Make Love to You '' being the first single , despite objections from the group - who felt there were songs that could have been much stronger singles . Ironically , the song went on to become one of Boyz II Men 's biggest hits . Over 20 songs were produced by Tim & Bob for II , but most of them never made the final track listing . Two of the songs Tim & Bob produced - `` Now That We 're Done '' and `` Can I Touch You '' - ended up on 112 's 1996 self-titled debut .

Nira_Pereg
|
Nira Pereg is an Israeli artist -LRB- born in 1969 in Israel -RRB- . She spent the 90s in New-York , where she received her BFA from Cooper Union at NYC . On her return to Israel , she graduated from the Bezalel MFA studio program in Jerusalem , and has been teaching internationally ever since . Pereg 's multi-channel video installations challenge the status quo of any territory she immerses herself in . She anchors her work in documentary practice . However , in order to challenge the traditional role of the `` real '' verses the `` artificial '' Pereg developed her own language of editing in which a studio produced sound track questions these images , and a multi channel presentation juxtaposes events and space . This particular aesthetic intervention plays a crucial role in the work 's spatial presentation , and heightens a constant discomfort with `` the way things are '' . The merger of spirit and matter , as it is coexist in public spaces of religious/political/military presence , serves as a platform for Pereg 's interest and involvement in the social manifestations of systems and structures which influence our lives . `` Nira Pereg works by immersing herself in contexts that are both familiar and nonfactual , thereby doing away with the notions of proximity and dis-tance . This apparently distant eye that Nira Pereg systematically applies to her subjects is the very form of her commitment . To show the mechanics of exclusion , to set up one 's camera in front of the protocol of separation , as she does in Abraham Abraham Sarah Sarah , is to do much more than merely document a situation , it is to follow the thread of life running through socio-political mechanisms , to undertake an archaeology of the present .

Coeur_d'Alene_miners'_dispute
|
There were two related incidents between miners and mine owners in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District of North Idaho : the Coeur d'Alene , Idaho labor strike of 1892 , and the Coeur d'Alene , Idaho labor confrontation of 1899 . This article is a brief overview of both events . The strike of 1892 had its roots in the first pay cut by the Bunker Hill Mining Company in 1887 . Immediately after the reduction in wages miners organized the first union at Wardner on November 3 , 1887 . The response to that violence , disastrous for the local miners ' union , became the primary motivation for the formation of the Western Federation of Miners -LRB- WFM -RRB- the following year . The confrontation of 1899 resulted from the miners ' frustrations with mine operators that paid lower wages ; hired Pinkerton or Thiel operatives to infiltrate the union ; and routinely fired any miner who held a union card .

Code_-LRB-metadata-RRB-
|
In metadata , the representation term code refers to , and is used in the name of , data elements whose allowable values can be represented as enumerated lists . Each enumerated value is a string that for brevity represents a specific meaning . For example , for a PersonGenderCode the allowable code valid values might be `` male '' , `` female '' or `` unknown '' . To be compliant with ISO standards a value meaning or definition must also be associated with each code . The ISO/IEC 11179 metadata registry standard defines code as a system of valid symbols that substitute for longer values . In general , if the number of codes is small the list of valid codes and their definitions can be transmitted with a document that validates the data . Codes usually have a symbolic meaning that can be understood by a person . One example code is a set of two letter state codes used in a US postal address . The code MN represents the state of Minnesota . Its equivalent ID using FIPS standards is the number 27 . The number 27 would be classified as having a representation term of type Identifier and have the representation suffix of ID . Another example is the three-letter international airport codes such as ` MSP ' for the Minneapolis-St . Paul Airport . Although people use these codes to identify an airport , they would be classified as having a representation term of Code because they contain mnemonic information . Sometimes identification systems are also called `` codes '' in common every-day language . For example people frequently refer to a location 's `` zip code '' . Because of the lack of symbolic meaning in a numeric value , zip codes would technically be classified under ISO guidelines as an identifier . For example in the NIEM and GJXDM standards a zip code is called LocationPostalCodeID . The concept is Location , the property is PostalCode and the representation term is ID . It is sometimes difficult to determine if a data element is a code or an identifier . In general identifiers are sequential numbers used to identify a specific item in an identification scheme . If a data element has mnemonic information it is generally classified as a code . If only two code values are needed , an indicator -LRB- Boolean true/false -RRB- representation term can be used .

Constructivism_-LRB-psychological_school-RRB-
|
In psychology , constructivism refers to many schools of thought that , though extraordinarily different in their techniques -LRB- applied in fields such as education and psychotherapy -RRB- , are all connected by a common critique of previous standard approaches , and by shared assumptions about the active constructive nature of human knowledge . In particular , the critique is aimed at the `` associationist '' postulate of empiricism , `` by which the mind is conceived as a passive system that gathers its contents from its environment and , through the act of knowing , produces a copy of the order of reality . '' In contrast , `` constructivism is an epistemological premise grounded on the assertion that , in the act of knowing , it is the human mind that actively gives meaning and order to that reality to which it is responding '' . The constructivist psychologies theorize about and investigate how human beings create systems for meaningfully understanding their worlds and experiences . In psychotherapy , for example , this approach could translate into a therapist asking questions that confront a client 's worldview in an effort to expand his or her meaning-making habits . The assumption here is that clients encounter problems not because they have a mental disease but in large part because of the way they frame their problems , or the way people make sense of events that occur in their life .
