Most successful people or companies are seen as being more creative, more daring, more willing to take risks, and more able to produce things that others wouldn’t.
Creativity is what usually makes the difference between success and failure/ mediocrity. Being creative means to improve quality, reduce costs, increase usability and functionality, and improve design by doing connections and using methods that others don’t.
Contrary to popular beliefs, success is not the fuel of creativity, but the other way around. Success comes as a result of creative initiatives. Most successful companies and people have understood that in order to make yourself noticed and to get attention you have to stand out from the crowd.
Don’t wait to be successful first and think that you will be able to let your creativity loose afterwards. Creativity will bring success, not the other way around.

Referred to by one researcher as “the Tinder Generation,” women ages 16 to 34 had the highest rate of abortions in almost three decades in 2017, according to the report by the British Office for National Statistics. The statistics involve England and Wales.
The Telegraph reports women in their early 20s aborted one third of their unborn babies in 2017, a nearly 2-percent increase from 2016. Abortions also rose to their highest since 1990, according to the report.
Women ages 30 to 39 had 59,956 abortions in 2017, while teens under 18 had 7,929 abortions, according to the data.
While the percentage of pregnancies ending in abortions increased, the number of pregnancies themselves decreased by 1.8 percent, the report found. More than half of those pregnancies (58.7 percent) occurred outside of marriage.
British health expert Jackie Doyle-Price recently blamed dating apps like Tinder for contributing to the increase in unplanned pregnancies, the report states.
“We’re laughing and talk about the Tinder generation now, but what tends to happen is you have women leaving one relationship and then playing the field again, entering the market again,” she told a women’s health recent.
“That’s actually when unplanned pregnancy tends to happen. There’s an education point there which is please continue to look after your fertility,” Doyle-Price continued.
Meanwhile, the statistics indicate that contraception usage also fell 1.5 percent in the same period.
Some good news did come out of the report. According to Yahoo News, the number of teenage pregnancies fell 1.8 percent among young women under 18 in 2017.
The biggest drop was among girls under 16, at 10.8 percent, the report found. The same age group was the only age group where the percentage of abortions also fell.
There were 194,668 abortions in 2017 in England and Wales, a 2.3 percent increase from 2016, according to the latest government statistics. Almost all abortions in the UK are taxpayer-funded.

A discoidal MLC capacitor has very low impedance associated with its ground path since the signal is presented with a multi-directional path. These electrode paths, which can be as many as 100, allow for low ESR and ESL which are the major elements in impedance at high frequencies. The assembled discoidal element or feed-thru allows signal to be fed in through a chassis or bulkhead, conditioned as it passes through the discoidal, and isolated by the chassis and discoidal from the original signal. An example of this application would be in an AFT circuit where the AC noise signal would be required to be stripped from the DC control signal. Other applications include single line EMI/RFI suppression, L-C filter construction, and coaxial shield bypass filtering. The shape of the discoidal lends itself to filter construction. The short length allows compact construction where L-C construction is desired. The size freedom associated with this element allows almost any inside/outside diameter combination. By allowing the inside diameter to equal the center insulator diameter of a coaxial signal line and special termination techniques, this device will allow bypass filtering of a floating shield to ground.
* Discoidal capacitors are available in two (2) temperature coefficients (C0G, X7R) and a variety of shapes and sizes.
* Custom designed capacitor arrays are available in an unlimited number of configuration with a wide range of rating voltages (50–2000) and temperature coefficients (NPO, BX, BR, X7R).

Did you know that you can use the moon's calendar to schedule your gardening tasks?
Moon planting is a common activity among gardeners and many believe that it enhances the quality of your crops. Some organic wineries plant, feed and harvest the grapes according to the cycle of the moon and the technical term for this is bio-dynamic gardening and you should give it a try!
Waxing: this is the period between the new moon and the full moon when the moon grows larger.
Waning: this is the time between the full moon and the new moon when the moon gets smaller.
It is best to get yourself a calendar that specifies the cycle of the moon so that you can plan your gardening.
Around the time of the new moon, for the 2 days before, the day of and the 2 days after, you should refrain from sowing any new crops and concentrate on digging the soil well. Then for the following 8 days, you can sow your crops and plant your bulbs in the well dug soil.
After those 8 days of planting is the time to begin your liquid feeding which you can do for 2 days and then its time to rest and put your feet up! Begin resting 2 days before the full moon and rest for the next 5 days until 2 days after the full moon. Then you can sow your lawn the following day and weed plants 2 days before the last quarter. Weeding can continue for 5 days until 2 days after the last quarter.
For the 4 days before you start the cycle again, sow root crops like turnips and parsnips and spray your crops. Then it is time to start all over again!
Reap the benefits of planting by the lunar cycle and enjoy having your garden tasks all mapped out for you!

Coming from scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, a new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, announced that the oceans in 2017 were warmest in recorded history.
The news continues to paint a very dim picture of the future of sea life as research has shown the warming waters will cause serious problems with the survival of many species.
The study showed that in 2017, the oceans were 1.51 × 1022 Joules warmer than in 2015, which was previously the warmest year for the oceans on record. Ocean temperatures in 2016, were lower than in 2015 and 2017 because of a huge El Niño weather event that cooled waters.
The warming waters were seen in almost all the world with the Atlantic and Southern Oceans being more affected than the Indian and Pacific.
In their study, researchers identified coral bleaching and melting sea ice as the biggest victims of the warming oceans.
Coral bleaching occurs when corals are stressed by heat, light, or pollution and causes them to expel the symbiotic algae they need to be healthy. Without them, corals can starve.
Coral reefs are often called the rain forests of the ocean as the reefs sustain an endless amount of species including millions of fish, sharks, turtles, crustaceans, jellyfish and many more. As the coral starts to die, so does the entire reef including all species that called it home. .
The researchers also called attention to the declining ocean oxygen as a potential impact from warming waters. Earlier this month, a new study found that some fish are avoiding certain parts of oxygen-depleted ocean because the waters are essentially suffocating them.
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane have been credited with driving warming temperatures, by trapping more heat closer to the Earth’s surface. One study published in 2016 found that for every ton of CO2 not emitted, 32 square feet of Arctic ice could be saved. There is still hope as there is a way for us to try and turn around the downward trend. By reducing our energy consumption and investing in renewable energy, we can slow down the warming and protect our oceans and our planet.

When modeling integers, we can use colored chips to represent integers. One color can represent a positive number and another color can represent a negative number.
In modeling integers, adding and subtracting are always physical actions.
If a board is used with the chip, adding always mean " Add something to the board" and subtraction always mean "Remove something from the board"
Now how do you remove 2 or two yellow chips that you don't have?
I tried to model most situations above. However, I recognize the fact that modeling integers can be a bit tricky if you have never seen this before.

Institutions of higher education continuously laud the benefits of using technology in teaching without choosing, or investing in, the tech that actually would help students. For example, colleges and universities frequently use D2L or Blackboard software that isn’t user friendly. I compose assignments that students rarely closely read. One obstacle has to do with software design. I cannot indent paragraphs or use format layouts that would make reading easier. So it might be worth using tried and true technology. By typing and posting a photo of my assignments, students might be able to better understand my assignment. The photo will also allow students to zoom in on the document using whatever technology they have on hand (likely a smart phone).
All of which may explain why my boss’s boss, our Dean of Academic Services, got so gleefully excited that I was going to stretch World Typewriter Day for an entire week, again, with machines on-hand for students and staff to play with.
Many thanks. The other problem with the Desire2Learn aesthetic is that it places a black font against a gray background. An instructional manual for an appliance is more inviting. I am curious to know what activities you orchestrated for World Typewriter Day (Week). I have dabbled with using typewriters for student events. The results were mixed. Because I wasn’t able to oversee the activities, one student managed to break one of my Lettera 22s. Not everyone is mechanically inclined.

Although this is a tiny unit compering to all the previous, I find it very useful cause it is dealing with the part of teaching that is not related to studying. As an inexperienced teacher, for me is big deal how to maintain order and what to do in various situations that can came across.In this unit i learnt more things about grammar and how to teach grammar. here we learnt about active and passive voice which is a very difficult thing to learn and teach as well. This Unit gave a good comprehensive picture of teaching grammar especially to teach active and passive voice.This unit focused on how to introduce new language to learners. ESA methods can be easily apply to introduce new language. So it's showing that how to apply and use, what to do and when. There is many usable informations in this unit. Explained every single things and easy to understand.

Freedom Park, Bangalore is a beautiful modern day park with great historical significance, as the park used to be central jail earlier.
The once Central Jail was built in 1866 by British Government, when the freedom movement in India was picking up and they required more jails to accommodate the freedom fighters.
The earlier central jail witnessed several freedom fighters before independence and during the emergency regime in 1975 including Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani.
Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) later decided to convert the jail to a park with the objective of creating green cover and lung space in the heart of Bangalore, while keeping the historical significance of the place.
BBMP held a national level competition to redesign the central jail which was won by architect couple Soumitro Ghosh and Nisha Mathew Ghosh, who then developed the park in a budget of Rs 17.35 crore.
The new park was opened for public in November 2008.
Freedom Park features many children’s play areas, cultural and leisure joints, state-of-the-art information corridor, Museum, Art Gallery and more.
6 acres of the Freedom park is dedicated to Protests and Rallies with the objective of uninterrupted city’s traffic, as such protests tend to disrupt public activities.
India Against Corruption in support of Anna Hajare was held at this place.
Freedom Park, Bangalore has all the qualities to be one of the major tourist attractions of the city by possessing both historical significance and modern day beauty.
This park is around 1.5kms from Bangalore City Railway Station, Bus Stand and around 32kms distant from Bangalore International Airport.
As the park is located in the heart of the city, major tourist attractions including Vidhana Soudha, Cubbon Park, Visvesvaraya Technological Museum and many other places are within few kilometers from here.

Some Virolai Students worked as reporters and they explain us their experience and their earning process through the project. Reporters want to get their classmates’ opinions and make them think about their learning process. When students explain their own ideas, they become aware of their own learning process, this is why reporters’ task is so important. Once students have learnt the dynamic of the project they appreciate the freedom they have when working on their own interests, choosing their group-mates and showing their work on the way they want to.

a special covering (representing a human face or the head of an animal or a fantastic or mythological being) with perforations for the eyes and placed over an actor’s face. Masks are made of paper, papier-mache, and other materials.
Theatrical masks were in wide use in the traditional theaters of Asian peoples (in India, in the folk raslila and ramlila performances; in Indonesia, in tupeng performances; in Japan, in the no plays). In the 20th century, theatrical masks are often replaced by mask-like makeup (kathakali performances in India; kabuki plays in Japan).
And around the room are artefacts bought from a march aux puces, or flea market, including a theatrical mask and a Roman bust.
Instead of the humid morning air, acrid smoke hung heavy, piercing the nostrils, burning the eyes, smudging the face like a theatrical mask in a dramatic tragedy.
This cosmic farce continues into the next room where two sculptural groupings form Human Pyramid, made up of a small jester standing on a barrel gesturing toward six castellers precariously pyramided on three further barrels, each wearing something like a cross between a Japanese and Roman theatrical mask.
The magical world of the theatrical mask is explored in the first International Mask Festival, which takes place in Stourbridge from October 19 to 27.
The various European words for personality derive from the Greek term for a theatrical mask, Nijman (international law, U.
As a result, the use of this type of theatrical mask is becoming a new signifier, in theatre, of "Mayan" culture.
The theatrical mask and costume maker has a garage full of rats.
Then we let the heavy Yiddish theatrical mask go, although we had gotten pretty far along in developing it.
This was arduous - especially for larger quantities required for hands, breasts, facial and other components - issues equally applicable to other silicone applications such as theatrical masks, plaster casting, special effects, model engineering, animatronics, life casting and pattern making.

How much lawn fertilizer should I apply?
Remember, to minimize the potential for fertilizer leaching into the groundwater we are not allowed to apply fertilizers before April 1st or after November 1st. Keep your eye on the weather and do not fertilize if heavy rainfall is expected within the next 2 to 3 days of a planned application.
Once you know your lawn maintenance type - low, medium or high - you can concentrate on proper timing of the application(s).
When possible, smaller amounts of fertilizer applied more often is preferred. It is very important to have a properly calibrated spreader when applying any fertilizer. See Simple Spreader Calibration and Simple Spreader Calibration Worksheet and Example WorksheetTiming noted in shaded boxes indicates a plan to apply fertilizer at lower rates more often.
The alternative schedule outlines when to fertilize at higher amounts less often.
* In cases with dense lawns that look good, no fertilizer is needed.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the internationally recognized authority for naming celestial bodies and their surface features, recently approved a dozen names proposed by NASA's New Horizons mission team, which led the first reconnaissance of Pluto and its moons (by the New Horizons spacecraft) in 2015. The New Horizons science team had been using many of the chosen names informally to describe the many valleys, crevices and craters discovered during that first close-up look at the surface Charon.
In moving the names through approval, Stern lauded the work of the New Horizons Nomenclature Working Group, which along with Stern included science team members Mark Showalter - the group's chairman and liaison to the IAU - Ross Beyer, Will Grundy, William McKinnon, Jeff Moore, Cathy Olkin, Paul Schenk and Amanda Zangari. The team gathered most of their ideas during the "Our Pluto" () online public naming campaign in 2015.
Mandjet Chasma is named for one of the boats in Egyptian mythology that carried the sun god Ra (Re) across the sky each day - making it one of the earliest mythological examples of a vessel of space travel.
The New Horizons spacecraft is currently 3.83 billion miles (6.16 billion kilometers) from Earth, speeding toward a New Year's Day 2019 encounter with "Ultima Thule," a Kuiper Belt object orbiting a billion miles (about 1.6 billion kilometers) beyond Pluto. The centerpiece of New Horizons' extended mission through the Kuiper Belt, the Ultima flyby will be the farthest planetary encounter - with the most primitive object ever encountered - in spaceflight history.

The iron meteorite Gibeon was once part of an asteroid's iron core, before the asteroid broke apart in a collision with another asteroid. When the meteorite hit Earth's atmosphere, it heated up, becoming a glowing fireball. The black, pitted crust formed when the meteorite's outer layer melted in flight.

We've finished our overview of the classical approach to understanding the inheritance of quantitative traits. For the last 20 years, or so, another approach has become much more prominent. First in controlled crosses, especially controlled crosses between inbred lines, more recently in population samples, geneticists are taking advantage of the large number of molecular markers available as a result of advances in DNA sequencing technology to search for associations between molecular markers and phenotypes of interest. When successful, such analyses can reveal something close to the genotypes associated with quantitative traits, making the statistical approach we developed over the last couple of weeks somewhat less useful. There are, however, some challenges to using molecular markers in association studies. In today's lecture we will discuss both the general principles of association analysis and identify some of the pitfalls to be aware of.

As the place where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years of imprisonment, a visit to Robben Island promises to be a poignant experience and is one of Cape Town's most humbling tours.
The prison was still fully functioning until 1996 and the site now has UNESCO World Heritage status and is preserved as a sobering memorial to those political prisoners, including Mandela, who served time here. Robben Island has become a symbol of “the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, suffering and injustice”, and with its 500 year history, is annually visited by thousands of people who want to understand important aspects of South Africa’s history.
Take a short boat ride from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront to visit the prison and then explore the rest of the island by bus, including the limestone quarry where Mandela and his fellow inmates spent their days working. A visit to Cape Town isn't complete without paying a visit to Robben Island and remembering those who resided here all those years ago during times of racial inequality.
Useful Information: Currently the ferries operate at 9.00am, 11.00am and 1.00pm. A 3.00pm ferry sometimes runs in peak season. Passengers should arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure, boarding gates close 10 minutes before departure time.
"I recommend a visit to this thought-provoking island (it's best to get the first boat departure of the day).Regardless of your political stance, this is a haunting reminder of South Africa's past but also a celebration of how far the country has come in such a short period of time."

Ecological research work by Dr Anita Diaz that focused on the introduction of Sika deer in Purbeck and the New Forest has highlighted the increasing benefits of student-led consultancy and research work. Students from the Student Environment Research Team (SERT) and recent BU graduates, under the guidance of Dr Diaz, worked with the National Trust and with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) to monitor the quantity, distribution and impacts of Sika deer in Purbeck after they were introduced to the UK from Japan.
The students have played a key role in the projects which highlighted the importance of understanding how the abundance and distribution of Sika deer affect a wide range of species and habitats. Positive effects include their usefulness in managing wet heathlands, home to rare species, such as Silver Studded Blue Butterflies, and newly created meadows.
Their research has also shown that numbers need to be managed to prevent over-grazing of important salt marsh habitats and to protect neighbouring areas of forest and crops.
Details of the research were highlighted on a Radio 4 programme ‘Nature: In Search of the Japanese Sika’ and the students’ deer survey work also featured on a Channel 4 programme ‘Wild Thing’, one of a nine part series where experts were called in to examine a problem where wildlife is put at risk.
The programme showed the students focusing on the habitat of the deer, as well as their breeding and feeding habits. It gave a fascinating insight into how students can get involved directly in cutting edge research that brings tangible benefits to external organisations. Exposure of this kind also helps to raise the profile of the type of student led consultancy work that academics like Dr Diaz are helping to drive as part of BU’s student experience.
Dr Diaz says: “The deer count led by the National Trust recorded over 500 Sika deer and is a great way of monitoring change in the overall abundance of Sika deer across Purbeck. I am delighted that our students contributed to this essential part of building understanding of how Sika deer interact with local habitats and people. Understanding and managing the relationships between introduced species and local habitats and people is one of the great global challenges for conservation ecology.
“For students to get the opportunity to work directly in support of a high profile organisation such as the National Trust is a great way to enhance their learning process and give it ‘real world’ context.

The Mechanical Engineering Program at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics began in 1863, and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was established soon afterward, beginning official operations in the 1871/72 academic year. The Faculty is justly proud of its continuous, progressive and more than 140-year history and now offers undergraduate and graduate programs in both Hungarian and English.
Modelling – leading to an MSc degree started in February 2009, and students can start their study either in the fall and in the spring semester. Individual postgraduate academic and research programs, which are usually completed in three to four years, are available for those who already have an MSc degree and wish to pursue a PhD degree.

Online grading is a program which allows an individual to submit their grades online without the need to create an online grade book. Gradebook refers to a tool used to record assignment grades. It is also used to track the progress of the student and is easily applied to forward the final grades to the grade page. However, the online grading system is causing a lot of stress to the students to make good grades. Cheating by the students results from the social pressure placed on the students to score high degrees in education and other values which entails imagination and creativity (O’Connor, 87).
It is evident that pressure from schools and parents to score high grades has led to stress among students. Parents pressure the students right from the elementary school. High school research conducted amongst five students revealed that students spend most of their time in finagling the online system to ensure that they score the most upper grades. In every class tested, cheating was reported. Although fraud is one of the high school cultures, the motive for deception was brought about by the desire to achieve high grades. It is a desire which comes from the parents and teachers since they demand high scores from the students (Wankat, 122).
Another reason contributing to the stress among the students is the association of high performance with better lives. Students, therefore, feel that getting high grades guarantees them a brighter future and hence they strive to achieve high grades. As a result, we have very many stressed students who feel that once they perform poorly, their future may not be as bright as they expected. Therefore, parents and teachers need to come up with ways of encouraging students to work hard without the need to stress them (Good, 195).

A discovery chemist made some nitropropene for use a a "building block". However after about 4-5 days, the material had gone black. A further batch was made, this in turn also went black.
A new batch was tested with an Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC), and the Safety Scientist was careful to start the run at room temperature, rather than the default 50°C. In doing he managed to ascertain that the material was decomposing exothermically at ambient temperature, and therefore the reason for the discolouration was an exothermic decomposition.
The exothermicity of the decomposition had not been observed as the material had only been made in very small quantities, and therefore the heat loss of such small samples was so great that a runaway reaction did not ensue.
Even discovery chemists must be aware of the potential nature of some compounds to runaway exothermically - if this preparation had been scaled up then there was the possibility of an incident.
When compounds are showing obvious signs of degredation at "normal" temperatures, it is best to try to test the material at ambient, rather than carrying out a "standard" safety testing procedure, which might involve a higher temperature start point.

The main significance of signed languages for disabled people individuality proposes that the visual features of interactive multimedia might put forward prospects of safeguarding, development as well as changes within those individualities. Simultaneously, the visual features of the Web 2.0 are usually audio-visual, such that the more and more affluent resources of the “net offer” (Smith et al, p. 193, 2011) prospective obstructions in addition to ways to insertion and society.
Written examinations and project-based assignments test the candidates ability to comprehend topics within the course and apply the knowledge in solving problems. Observation of the learner can be carried out to determine the behavioural and attitude changes during the learning process especially the learner’s attitudes towards smoking tobacco. The written questions and paper-based assessments will evaluate the learner’s written communication skills, creativity and problem-solving skills.
These positive results relate to the overall degree of understanding concepts as well as individual performances of students in different subjects.From the findings that were gathered, students attribute diffusion of image and video technology and easy acceptance to easy availability. 56 percent of students believe the reason these technologies have been useful in classroom setting is because they have become household commodities. These can be through videos, television as well as computers.

Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, for example, erupted catastrophically in 1991; before that, its most recent eruption was around 500 years earlier. Precursors at Mount Pinatuboincluded ash explosions at the summit, increases in the number of vents spewing hot gas, changes in the volcano’s shape and increases in both the frequency and size of earthquakes. Two months of increasing activity preceded the 1991 paroxysmal eruption.

Alvar Andersson (October 27, 1913 – 1999) was a Swedish politician. He was a member of the Centre Party, and a member of both houses of the bicameral Swedish parliament. He represented Kronoberg County and Halland County in the upper house from 1954 to 1958, and Halland County in the lower house between 1961 and 1964, and again in 1969-1970. When the bicameral parliament had been abolished, he was a member of the unicameral parliament from 1971 to 1979.
Andersson was also active in the Federation of Swedish Farmers, and in the temperance movement IOGT-NTO.

March marks Women’s History Month, a time to reflect on what women have accomplished in the past and the work that remains today to achieve gender equality. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate the beauty, strength, and resiliency of a great sisterhood long silenced and rendered invisible by social, political, and economic forces — and yes, even by religion.
As an evangelical feminist, I believe that women are of sacred worth and should be treated as such. But while it’s important to make space to honor and recognize the contributions of women in history/herstory, I also pray that more men will be a part of the conversation.
If we want to lift up one half of humanity (women) to help level the playing field at home, at work, and in broader society, it only makes sense to engage the other half of humanity (men). As we’ve seen with the He For She campaign, it will take all of us to address gender inequality and injustice.
That’s why I echo Eve Ensler’s “Man Prayer” to end violence against women. From domestic violence and human trafficking to female genital cutting and forced marriage, women and girls around the world experience abuse and exploitation at alarming rates. Encouraging men to step up and speak out for and with women is key to achieving gender equality and eliminating gender-based violence.

Features and Benefits of the Nano ULTRA-Vibe Remote Wireless Vibration Monitor. The Nano ULTRA-Vibe was designed to offer a cost-effective remote vibration monitoring and analysis system to the construction industry.
Machine vibration monitoring is the most widespread method to determine the health of rotating equipment. Considering machine repair or replacement costs, loss of production, quality problems, environmental impact and other negative effects of deteriorating machine condition, the implementation of vibration monitoring is well justified.
Why do we need vibration monitoring? It is essential to monitor critical machines in the plants for increasing their efficiency and reliability. Hence real time vibration monitoring is the key to reduce frequent failures of machinery & keep high uptime.
The cost of failing to monitor machine vibration far exceeds the cost of implementing a vibration monitoring program. To find out how to set up your own machine vibration monitoring program, contact Commtest Instruments Ltd or one of our representatives for a demonstration of a vbSeries vibration monitoring system.

In the framework of a study carried out along the Belizean coasts, a new species of syllid, Syllis mayeri n. sp., was found harboured by the sponge Ircinia strobilina. The description of this new taxon is given, and compared to other similar congeneric species and to some Mediterranean material from the southern Italian coast ascribed to S. armillaris. The new species is characterized by some stout compound chaetae with ypsiloid appearance, whose probable use for attaching to the host is hypothesized. Other diagnostic features are antennae, tentacular cirri and dorsal cirri of the anterior portion of the body that are longer than in similar, compared species. Moreover, the mid-body dorsal cirri are typically spindle-shaped. A discussion on the status of some sponge-associated taxa from tropical and subtropical seas attributed to the so-called cosmopolitan S. armillaris is also given.

This research program is dedicated to the study of the behavioural and neural bases of human empathy using state-of-the-art brain imaging and brain stimulation methods. This program targets mainly health issues such as pain management, with the core of the program focusing on empathy in healthcare professionals. Pain, which plays an important part in signaling and preventing tissue damage and warns us about underlying illness, can reach proportions beyond its initial function. Once pain is chronic, it can be very incapacitating, leading to loss of productivity and quality of life. Accurate evaluation of patients' pain by care providers is crucial for effective pain management.
Building on previous research on pain communication, this project combines expertise from different disciplines including health care, health psychology and cognitive neuroscience. The objective of the innovative series of studies proposed is to investigate how prolonged exposure to the pain of others changes behavior and the organization of brain functions, and whether such changes affect pain assessment and pain management. An intervention to improve empathy for pain in care providers and ultimately improve pain management for patients will also be tested.
The proposed studies will lead to clinically relevant results that will provide a deeper understanding of the potential underlying causes of pain under-management, and help develop strategies to improve both the patients' and the care providers' well-being. Additional basic science studies are proposed to uncover the neural and physiological underpinning of the sensorimotor and affective processes that underlie human empathy, and a more recent project aims at developing a cutting-edge virtual reality platform that will ultimately be used to improve social functioning in populations presenting with social cognition deficits, such as patients suffering from schizophrenia, personality disorders or traumatic brain injury.

The Cloquet River Water Trail crosses central St. Louis County, offering 64 miles of good canoeing without a need for a permit. The river provides a variety of water types including stretches of flatwater and areas of Class I-II rapids. Some of the rapids downstream from Indian Lake should be portaged by beginners. A waterfall exists at the entrance to Island Lake during low water. Portaging is recommended. The river has a wild feel as there are few visible structures from the water and, on most days, you will have the river to yourself. Fishing is often quite good on the Cloquet with good numbers of smallmouth bass, walleye, and channel catfish. Bluegill, brown trout and northern pike appear occasionally.
There are many good access points to the Cloquet. Indian Lake Campground is generally considered the first access, with additional popular accesses being Bear Lake Road, Island Lake, Island Lake Dam, Bachelor Road, Independence, Highway 7/RR Crossing, and Highway 2 (take out on St. Louis River).

DAFFODIL, a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, is a common flowering plant. Narcissus is the name of the genus that includes daffodils, narcissuses, and jonquils. Narcissus and daffodil are both correct common names for all species. Jonquils are daffodils with small, fragrant yellow flowers, several growing on a stem. All daffodils grow from bulbs. Most species have long, narrow leaves, either rush like or flat. In early spring, yellow or white blossoms, with trumpets in the centers, appear. The color of the trumpet ranges from white, yellow, and orange to pink and brilliant red. Time of blossoming depends on the species, climate, soil, and depth of planting, but most species bloom in April or May.
The daffodil is native to Europe where in some regions it grows wild. It grows well in cultivated gardens, and can also be naturalized (grown like a wild flower) under trees. Several of the daffodils, especially the paper white narcissus, can be potted for indoor bloom. There are now more than 10,000 name varieties, and breeders continue to develop new ones. There are many kinds of daffodils. The best-known daffodil is also called the trumpet narcissus it has one blossom at the end of each stalk. The daffodil has a large flower and five or six bluish-green leaves about 15 inches (38 centimeters) long. Daffodil bulbs should be planted in autumn. They should be planted about 8 inches (20 centimeters) deep, and about 5 inches (13 centimeters) apart. Daffodil bulbs are poisonous if eaten.
Bulbs should be planted in late summer or early autumn, from two to six inches deep, about 2,5 times the diameter of the bulb. They need little fertilizing, but bone meal is sometimes added to the soil. After the blossoms die, the leaves should be left on the plant until dried. Bulbs should be divided and transplanted when clumps become crowded because crowding reduces bloom.

Located in Antalya's Aksu district, Perga is recognized as one of the most significant ancient cities in the world and is also the home of prominent ancient sculptors.
Currently, archaeologists continue to excavate along the western drive and also try to reveal water tunnels expanding in four different branches, Antalya Museum Director Mustafa Demirel told Ihlas News Agency.
Since 2012, Antalya Museum has been carrying out the excavations, Demirel said, adding that they are also working to ensure visitors get a better grasp of the ancient city.
Archaeological excavations take a long time and take place under the framework of a specific plan," Demirel said, adding that 30 percent of the city has been excavated until now.
To its east lies the Cestrus River, which has an acropolis from the Hellenistic period, and artifacts from the Bronze Ages, Roman and Byzantine empires.
"A large portion of the city is still under the ground but excavation works continue in an organized manner," Demirel said.
In the near future, archaeologists aim to restore two towers, a theater, a stadium and ensure water flow on ancient fountains through the tunnels. In particular, the towers are expected to be restored by 2019.
Demirel also noted that the ministry of culture and tourism has also completed landscaping work to welcome local and foreign tourists.
Artifacts discovered during excavations include different structures and quaint architectural styles, Demirel said, adding that it is crucial for excavations to take place simultaneously with restorations because the lack of one leaves artifacts without protection and prone to destruction.
These artifacts, including statues from the second and third centuries B.C., are currently being exhibited in the museum, the director added.
The ancient city awaits over 250,000 visitors in 2018.

Soybean meal is the most important protein source used to feed farm animals. Soybean meal is the by-product of the extraction of soybean oil. Soybean meal is a major source of protein used by the pig and poultry industries.
Manufacturers of pet food such as dog food also use soybean meal in their manufactured diets. As well, this versatile protein is being used as a source of protein in aquaculture diets. Soybean meal – is the most valuable, popular, and important plant component in animal feeds. It is formed from defatted soybean extraction method by using organic solvents. It has high protein content 40-59 %. Soy protein is easily digested. The content of essential amino acids have beneficial effect on growth, production, and development of animals. Soybean meal is a rich source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B7. Additionally, it contains genistein and phyto-estrogens, which alleviate hormonal imbalance.
Soybean meal is an important source of protein for animals due to its excellent amino acid composition and high level of digestibility.

Translated from a Persian original, arabicized and modified under its new title, The Thousand and One Nights, this multi-layered work permanently enters Western culture thanks to Antoine Galland, its first adaptor. Provoking real enthusiasm, it also gives birth to many adaptations.
It was not until the 17th century that Eastern literary texts, fables or tales – often presented in anthologies – were finally available in French. As Eastern studies grew more popular, bilingual scholarly editions by prominent authors began to appear and publications picked up pace in the Middle East.
The “journey to the Orient” in the literary sense of the term is a 19th-century invention. To measure this metamorphosis, it needs to be compared with the past.
The Orient of musicians is no less vast than that of painters and writers, to which it is closely linked, and, of course, of scholars who, via writers, were often the first sources of inspiration. It could be near or far, ancient or modern. It is thus too vast for a real overview of it to be made here.

In music making ‘in company’, the protagonists have to follow the rules of interaction and create the cohesion of ‘being together’. At the same time, they try to promote personal goals that depend on specific personal treasure troves of experience. These are continuously being modified also as a result of the exchange between individuals. The perspective of the ‘individuals in company’ leads the emphasis of the investigations to the ways in which the acts of performance, interpretation and local discourse give shape to creative processes in multipart music making and to the definition of the individual, collective, and collaborative dimensions in this context.
Focusing on the ‘creators’ rather than on the ‘produced object’, the studies included in this volume explore the diversity of the roles, powers, symbolism, meanings and values given to the ‘polyphony of voices’ in secular and religious traditions based on extensive fieldwork experience. The contributors to this volume also consider the UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List in this context, as well as the role of local, national and international awards. By understanding ‘culture as a drug’, whose absorption is realized within interacting cells, culture appears as a cellular network and music as quite an efficient device for its functioning.

Effective detection plays an important role in the surveillance and eradication of invasive species. Invasive ants are regarded as very difficult to eradicate and are prone to imperfect detection because of their small size and cryptic nature.
One species, the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is highly invasive and has been accidentally introduced by human trade to many countries throughout the world. It has invaded numerous habitats, including coastal sage scrub in southern California, riparian woodland in California, matorral in Chile, fynbos in South Africa, subalpine shrubland in Hawaii, and oak and pine woodland in Portugal. In New Zealand, Argentine ants are known to occupy a range of open-canopy ecosystems, including native habitats and anthropogenic environments.
One of the key goals of Argentine ant management in New Zealand is the eradication, and prevention of re-establishment, of Argentine ant populations from offshore islands. A major part of this goal is developing surveillance and analytical methods to increase confidence that offshore islands are free of Argentine ants, or that a population has been successfully eradicated.
Our recent research demonstrates the use of two very different science tools to help achieve an outcome. First the use of a detection dog, trained to detect Argentine ant colonies, and secondly the use of spatially explicit surveillance models. Both tools are used to estimate the probability that Argentine ants have been eradicated from an offshore island site, given their absence across four survey periods and three surveillance methods, conducted since ant control was applied.
Rhys-Jones, the world’s first detection dog for Argentine ants. Trained by Brian Shields at the Auckland Council.
We found the probability of eradication increased sharply as each survey was conducted. Using all surveys and surveillance methods combined, the overall median probability of eradication of Argentine ants was 0.96. Our results demonstrate the value of spatially explicit surveillance models for the likelihood of eradication of Argentine ants. We argue that such models are vital to give confidence in eradication programs, especially from highly valued conservation areas such as offshore islands. The concept is also applicable to other species of invasive ants, and indeed other invasive taxa.

Knowledge is (White) Power (KWP) is designed to trace the white supremacist origins of public education—emphasizing the institutionalization of various racial tropes designed to create and reinforce the social hierarchy we experience today. Due to the cross-institutional nature of white supremacy, KWP is designed to incorporate elements of pop-culture with government policies (i.e. housing), as examples of how no single system (i.e. education) could propagate white supremacy without the expressed reinforcement of other institutions.
Participants will be guided through a series of multimedia presentations, dyads, small group conversations, and writing activities—all of which are designed to connect the systemic structure of white supremacy with the personal narratives of our participants. Our goal is to both inform as well as create space for something experiential. It is our belief that the pairing of a chronological review with more contemporary, heartfelt experiences will have a greater impact on participants and thus increase the likelihood that they will incorporate this co-created experience into their daily lives. By the end of KWP, participants will better understand the role of race in the formation of public education and the larger web of recurring racialized themes which inform many of today’s K-college institutions. Finally, our guests will leave with a collectively generated, real-world list of ways to mitigate the impacts of white supremacy in our school systems from the home to the local, and state levels respectively.

In this commentary, Arne Ruckert and Ronald Labonté of the University of Ottawa’s School of Epidemiology and Public Health synthesize research on the impact that the 2008 global financial crisis had on social policy and health equity. The researchers focus on the connection between social austerity measures — the social spending restraints adopted by governments around the world in response to slowing economic growth — and health equity measures.
people facing protracted employment caused by austerity measures have a higher propensity towards depression and suicide.
They critique the SDGs’ contradictory support of a “business-as-usual” model of economic growth, which they say is irrefutably linked with growing income, wealth and health inequality.

According to the 2016 Passport Index, last updated in April, holders of German and Swedish passports can visit 157 countries without visas or receive visas on arrival at a destination, making them the most powerful in the world. The least powerful named were the Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan, with holders only able to visit 30, 27 and 24 countries respectively.
Other passport holders in the top tier include Finland, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain and the UK, with holders capable of visiting 156 countries, while passport power ranking number 3 goes to Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Korea and Norway – all able to visit 155 nations without having to apply for visas.
The Seychelles tops the list of African nations in terms of passport power, with the ability to visit 123 countries sans visa, while Mauritius comes in at 166 countries with a ranking of 31. South Africa ranks 45 on the list, with the ability to visit 90 countries, while Botswana and Lesotho clock in at number 60 with the ability to visit 66 countries. Malawi comes in at a close 61, with Kenya following at 62 along with Swaziland, and Gambia and Namibia taking the position of 63 in the passport power rankings.
Although these numbers are significant compared with just a decade ago, it illustrates the need for Africa to open its borders and create stronger relationships with its international neighbours.

Oakland, CA—March 27, 2019—Following engagement with As You Sow, ExxonMobil Corp. has agreed to start reporting on spills of pre-production plastic pellets, or nurdles, manufactured in polymer production plants, which are believed to be a significant source of ocean plastic pollution.
ExxonMobil is a leading producer of plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Its ExxonMobil Chemical Co., as a major petrochemical producer, operates facilities that produce plastic pellets. Under an agreement reached between As You Sow and the company, ExxonMobil will begin to report on plastic pellet management in a sustainability report to be issued in later this year. The company said it will provide details about where, how, and when it monitors for pellet spills, describe pellet management systems it has in place, and report on spills that occurred, although it says there were none in 2018. It will also describe how the company assesses the effectiveness of pellet loss prevention measures.
“We are pleased that ExxonMobil has agreed to do public reporting on plastic pellet spills and management,” said Conrad MacKerron, senior vice president at As You Sow. “It is important for all industry players to establish similar transparency so stakeholders can get a realistic view of the size and scope of this problem. We hope the other companies we are engaged with will follow its lead.” As You Sow agreed to withdraw its shareholder proposal in recognition of the agreement.
Most plastic products originate from plastic pellets. Due to spills and poor handling procedures, billions of pellets are swept into waterways during production or transport annually, and increasingly found on beaches and shorelines, adding to harmful levels of plastic pollution in the environment. Plastic pellets are estimated to be the second largest direct source of microplastic pollution to the ocean by weight.

WHO is supporting the national authorities in the response to an outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD; formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever). The outbreak is now confirmed to be caused by a strain of ebolavirus with very close homology (98%) to the Zaire ebolavirus. This is the first time the disease has been detected in West Africa.
Cases were first reported from forested areas in south-eastern Guinea. The outbreak has rapidly evolved and several districts and Conakry have reported cases and deaths caused by EVD. A small number of suspected cases and deaths has also been reported from neighbouring countries with all of them having crossed from Guinea. Confirmed cases have been reported from Guinea and Liberia.

When the issues which led to the War of 1812 with Great Britain began to develop New England in general was not so enthusiastic over the situation as to show much military interest, but as the war went on and employment became less, there was more inducement for idle men to go with the colors. No active enlistment began in Fryeburg before 1814, when the danger of a possible attack drew the military companies from the surrounding country to the support of Portland, and most of the service was performed between the dates of June 24, and September 24, 1814.
Sergt. Hall Chase. Sergt. Jeremiah Chandler.
Simeon Charles Joshua Gamage, Jr.
Quartermaster William Russell, and Surgeon Moses Chandler of the staff of the Artillery Battalion served at Portland, June 13 to June 24.
Staff officers of the 2nd Brigade who served at Portland were: Brig. Gen. John McMillan, commanding brigade; Joshua B. Osgood, Brigade Major; James W. Ripley, Brigade Quartermaster; Enoch Lincoln, Aide de Camp.
Neither town or state records show how long these troops served, or how many of them served through the war. John W. Heath is known to have served the entire war, and was at the battle of Sackett's Harbor.

Technology giant Amazon is collaborating with Fresno tech educators to give local programmers a chance to learn about and enrich Amazon Echo technology.
Geekwise Academy in downtown Fresno will offer developers a monthlong course on the nuances of the software behind Amazon’s artificial intelligence assistant speakers, Echo, Tap and Dot.
The Amazon Alexa Skills Course will be the first in-person program available for developers interested in learning to program “skills” – like changing air conditioner settings – for Amazon’s voice-activated devices.
The Amazon Echo family of speakers are meant to enhance everyday living by using voice recognition to answer questions, play music, read news and give information when asked. Like Siri on Apple devices, Alexa is artificial intelligence that responds by name and can complete tasks when prompted.
Geekwise Academy offers classes to teach coding, website construction, video game design, robotics and augmented reality.
Geekwise approached Amazon with the idea for the Alexa course, and an Amazon spokes representative said Geekwise’s mission to teach relevant tech was of interest to the Alexa team.
This class will teach developers how to program Alexa to have new “skills” like turning off lawn sprinklers or changing air conditioner settings – things that expand what the AI can only do with add-ons. Because everything is open source, skills can be uploaded to the Alexa mobile app and be used by all Amazon Echo users who enable them on their Echo device, which looks like a speaker.
Geekwise Academy held its first session in June 2013 and has since seen more than 4,000 people pass through the program. It partners with several regional high schools to provide over 1,000 students with applicable computer skills before graduation.
The academy is a part of Bitwise Industries, which is a burgeoning hub of technology in Fresno with 107 companies inside its historic 50,000 square foot building near Chukchansi Park.
Bitwise CEO and co-founder Jake Soberal sees the collaboration with Amazon as a step toward luring tech companies such as Google and Microsoft to the central San Joaquin Valley as well.
The education program is meant to both appeal and be accessible to people of any age and financial bracket – courses are $250.
The Alexa course is capped at 25, and both Amazon and Geekwise Academy expected it to fill quickly. It runs weekday evenings from July 25 to Aug. 19.

Most people think all horse owners live in the country or on a farm.
Rebecca, 10, and her sister Jacquelyn Lane, 12, are exceptions to that rule.
The Lanes live in town and board their horses. Their family has land in Beulah where they are able to go riding.
Rebecca and Jacquelyn were participating in the 2007 Pueblo County Fair 4-H horse show Saturday morning at the Colorado State Fairgrounds.
"The girls started getting horse crazy and we gave in" said their mother, Renee Lane. "We wanted the girls to learn how to be safe, responsible horse owners and that's why we joined 4-H. It's a good family activity."
Rebecca was competing in the pre-level showmanship class with her paint horse, Rosie.
Although she was nervous showing her horse for the first time, Rebecca said it was fun.
"We have to walk, trot, make the horse's feet square and do pivoting," she said.
Rebecca works as a team with her horse, which is not always easy.
"(Rosie the horse) has her days. She can be nice or she can be mean. Today is one of the nice days," she said. "When she is mean, she bucks and then I make my dad ride her."
Rebecca and Jacquelyn are members of the same 4-H club, The Frontier Buccaneers. The sisters compete in the same showmanship class.
"We study the (horse) patterns together. We try to just take it one step at a time," said Jacquelyn, commenting on what it is like to compete against her little sister.
Jacquelyn received a reserve champion in her showmanship class and Rebecca got third.
4-H is on the list of long-term plans for Jacquelyn, and she's found the perfect partner in Rosie.
"You want an animal that is trustworthy and fun to be with, but not as small as a dog," she added. "And that's where horses come in. They're a lot of fun to ride."
Fifty-three youth were participating in the horse show this year and there are 429 total entries at the fair, said Carol Kuhns, a Colorado State University Extension Service office 4-H coordinator.

Photo: Wicklow Hall Plantation, ca, 1831-1840, State Route 30, Georgetown, SC. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 Photographed by Charles N. Bayless, AIA,, 1977, Historic American Buildings Survey [HABS SC-478], memory.loc.gov, accessed January, 2014.
Georgetown County administrative offices are located at 129 Screven Street, Georgetown, SC 29442; phone: 843-545-3063.
Native Americans were the first inhabitants of Georgetown County. They were nomadic family groups with names including Pee Dee (coming and going), Wee Nee (black water or dark water people) Waccamaw, Winyah, and Santee. They fished from the ocean and rivers, hunted game in the forest-land, and picked berries and fruits. The first Europeans came in 1526; under the Spanish leadership of Lucas Vesquez de Ayllon, who settled on the banks of the Winyah Bay.
By the mid-1600's, English and French outposts sprang up, and trade was established with the natives. The swamps and rivers were home to alligators, poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, and bordered with an impregnable growth of vines and cane. These tidelands were eventually tamed and the rivers served as highways for trade. The Native Americans were eventually conquered and vanished from the area. Artifacts of pottery, arrow points and crude tools made from seashells have been recovered as well as oral legends of the tribes.
Georgetown was a busy seaport for imports and exports by 1729. The citizens of the Georgetown District petitioned the King of England to have a port, which was officially granted in 1732 with the arrival of the King's "Collector of Customs." The slow and heavily laden merchant ships navigated close to the shoreline to avoid pirates hidden in the barrier islands.

Kiwifruit is a delicious berry of a woody, twining vine and is popularly known by its shortened version as ‘kiwi’. It is native to China and is referred to as the country’s national fruit. Originally known as ‘Yang Tao’, kiwi is an oval-shaped, dull brown colored fruit with a fuzzy texture. The inside pulp is a vivid, semi-translucent, bright green flesh with a radiant pattern of lighter-colored spikes, freckled with a few tiny, edible black seeds.Kiwifruit has a unique and invigorating flavor with a soft and creamy texture. The Actinidia genus which includes kiwi comprises about 60 species. Globally, the most commonly consumed varieties are the ‘fuzzy’ and ‘golden’.
Kiwifruit seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which, research shows may reduce coronary heart disease, the risk of stroke, and help in the prevention of ADHD, autism, and other developmental problems in children.

“The Wind in the Bamboo: A Journey in Search of Asia’s ‘Negrito’ Indigenous People” reveals the plight of tribal Asians who were classified as a separate race and considered doomed to vanish. Defined as “Negrito” because they physically resemble small Africans, they may have the most ancient ancestry in Asia. Nearly exterminated by disease and a cataclysmic volcano, these extraordinary people now survive as forest hunter gatherers in only a few places: mainland Malaysia, the Philippines and India’s remote Andaman Islands. Some are still armed with spears and blowpipes, a few with cellphones and graduate degrees.
“The Wind in the Bamboo” examines issues of race, identity, the body, scientific classification and genocide, through a sweeping Chatwinesque narrative of journeys into the remaining lands of these ancient forest people. Edith Mirante presents the story of the “Negrito” peoples (the ultimate survivors) with candor, wit and compassion. “The Wind in the Bamboo” will captivate readers who wonder who we humans are, where we come from and where we are going.

375 years ago today, the Battle of Edgehill took place just outside of Kineton, Warwickshire. It was the first of many pitched battles of the English Civil Wars that took place between 1642 and 1651.
Regimental Member Anne has written a follow up to her piece about the road to rebellion that was published a couple of days ago and has written all about what happened 375 years ago.
The Road to Rebellion: Why did England go to war with itself?
In just a couple of days time, it will be the 375th Anniversary of the Battle of Edgehill. This was the first pitched battle of the English Civil Wars that took place across the British Isles from 1642 to 1651.
Although Edgehill is often considered the start of the wars, there was obviously a series of events that led the country to go to war with itself. Regimental member Anne has written the following piece exploring what happened in the run up to the first battle.

Wear your clothing several times before washing. Washing breaks down the fibers and wears out clothing. Take work clothes/school clothes off immediately when you get home and change to “play” clothes. Febreze works well to freshen clothing between washings.
Wash clothing in cold water after turning them inside out. This keeps colors from fading and reduces wear on the outer surfaces. Cold water is not as hard on clothing as hot.
Wear darker clothing if you are prone to spills. This is especially helpful with messy children. If you have pets keep lint rollers handy to use instead of having to wash your pants every time they get near you.
Use thicker plastic or wood or padded hangers instead of wire. Clothing will wrinkle less and will be less likely to get gouged at the shoulders.
Unbutton all clothing before putting in the wash. Washers tug at the threads more on buttoned items. Save all those extra buttons that come with new clothing in a special jar or drawer — this may keep you from having to replace an item in the future.
Keep a “Tide-to-Go” pen with you and immediately treat all stains. This works well without having to wash the item right away.
Stop using liquid fabric softener. These can leave spots on your clothes and are not really necessary.
Hang dress shirts but fold sweaters. Hanging can stretch the delicate knits. Dress shirts acquire lots of extra wrinkles if folded requiring damaging irons to be used on them.
Any clothing with zippers should be zipped up before washing. The rough edges of the zippers can eat away at other clothing in the same load.
Air-dry items made from nylons or other synthetics and any clothing containing elastic. Hot dryers can wear these out quickly.
Repair any small holes in clothing immediately before they become large holes that may be impossible to fix.
Wear undergarments under dress clothing to prevent sweat stains and friction wear and tear. Undershirts, camisoles and slips can be much less expensive than outer clothing and it doesn’t matter if they get stained since no one but you is going to see them.

There is general agreement among Jews, Christians and atheists that Jesus of Nazareth, upon whom the Christian faith is built, lived and died.
So there is evidence outside the Bible for the existence of Jesus. But since the Bible was written so long ago, how do we know that what was first written has not be changed over the years? That's a fair question.
(1) a general rule that the more texts (manuscripts) you have, the less doubts there are about the original.
(2) Another rule is that the authenticity and integrity of these texts is established by how close the copies were written after the original. The closer they were written to the original, the more reliable.
By these two rules aline, the evidence for the life of Jesus, written about in the New Testament of the Bible, is phenomenal!
There is in fact about 2,500 times more evidence for the existence of Jesus, than then there is for the famous emperor Caesar!

In today’s K-12 schools, educators must effectively work with increasingly diverse populations in their classrooms. This includes educating students identified as having emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) in the general education classrooms and ensuring their inclusion in all aspects of the school community. This can be a challenging task for several reasons. To effectively educate students with EBD there must be collaboration between all the instructional and administrative staff in the school; everyone must be “on the same page” in implementing prevention and intervention efforts. In addition, there must be a willingness on the part of teachers to explore new teaching methods that more actively engage students with EBD. Ongoing staff development and training are needed to update and maintain educator skills in working with students with EBD. And sufficient resources must be available at the school and district level to sustain programming. This Impact describes how these and other challenges are being addressed around the country, and offers strategies that have been demonstrated to improve positive educational and social outcomes for students with EBD in today’s K-12 schools.
Impact is published quarterly by the Institute on Community Integration (UCEDD), and the Research and Training Center on Community Living, College of Education and Human Development, University of Minnesota. This issue was supported, in part, by Grant #90DD0579 from the Administration on Developmental Disabilities, US Department of Health and Human Services; and Grant #H133B031116 from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, US Department of Education.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a deadly disease and can present in a variety of ways, most commonly sudden, severe headache. Multiple diagnostic regimens exist, including non-contrast CT only, CT/LP, and CT/CTA. Many of these pathways have significant controversy. Within 6 hours of headache onset, a CT only approach does have literature support for risk stratifying patients to less than 1% risk of SAH. However, after 6 hours, the sensitivity of non-contrast head CT decreases. A test threshold of 1% does seem acceptable currently. Ultimately, a shared decision making model should be followed."

This problem is a slightly harder version of Primey Palindromes.
Let \( f(x) \) be the sum of the digits of \(x\).
- \(a + f(a) \) is also prime.
What is the smallest value of \(n > 2 \) such that \(g(n) \) is not 0 and not prime?
- \(383\) is a prime palindrome.
- \(f(383) = 3+8+3=14 \).
- \(383+f(383)=397\) which is also prime.

The abdomen of the victim is usually bloating. The patient feels like there is a tumor inside, which is growing in its size. Somehow, he is right. In case the lymphoma is placed closer to the abdomen, the stomach is like injured. The lymph nodes which get greater in their size, as well as the development of a high amount of liquid, are the keys. The abdomen becomes very tender and sensitive to any touch.
Regular infections are the last symptom of lymphoma. As the disease negatively influences red and white cells along with the platelets, the immune system is under threat. It stops working properly. The organism stays without its main protector, so the infection uses its chance and gets through. Defending bacteria are deactivated: it makes the person too weak even against the typical flu or cold.

Communication, transportation, food, education, entertainment and more – Natural gas and oil make our modern-day lives possible. They not only generate electricity and power vehicles, but are the building blocks in so many of the fundamental necessities and comforts we enjoy each day.
Technology has never been more important to our society and economy. It’s transforming everything from how we move, to how we learn, to how we communicate.
In addition to powering everyday life, natural gas and oil products also save lives – thin, flexible, polyester-like artificial valves keep hearts beating; acrylic lenses sharpen the vision of those suffering from cataracts; sterile products, like intravenous lines and bags, gloves, masks and catheters, prevent the spread of disease; and medications are able to last longer with refrigeration.
It’s not only the natural gas that helps you cook dinner, but the electricity that keeps foods fresh and the building blocks made from petroleum in the packaging that gets a balanced, wholesome meal to you. Innovations in the food supply chain – from agriculture to manufacturing, food transportation to storage – are possible, in large part thanks to natural gas and oil. For example, meals ready to eat are packaged in pouches with petroleum derived components to serve the military, and play a pivotal role in humanitarian disaster relief.
3-D printers extrude heated plastic, metal or other materials, layer upon layer, to create a three-dimensional object. And that's not the only invention natural gas and oil are powering. Chemicals produced from natural gas and oil refining are playing a key role in the development of new and innovative technologies.
Very few aspects of modern life aren’t touched in some way by natural gas and oil. Thousands of products made from natural gas and oil make life healthier, safer, more comfortable and more enjoyable. They help save time for the things we want to do. They support creativity, help us manage our environment and think beyond ourselves.

Chashme Shahi or Chashma-i-Shahi (the royal spring), also called Chashma Shahi, is one of the Mughal gardens built in 1632 AD around a spring by Ali Mardan Khan, a governor of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as per the orders of the Emperor, as a gift for his elder son Prince Dara Shikoh. The garden is located in the Zabarwan Range, near Raj Bhawan (Governor‘s house) overlooking Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir.
Chashme Shahi originally derives its name from the spring which was discovered by the great female saint of Kashmir, Rupa Bhawani, who was from the Sahib clan of Kashmiri Pandits. The family name of Rupa Bhawani was 'Sahib' and the spring was originally called 'Chashme Sahibi'. Over the years the name got corrupted and today the place is known as Chashme Shahi (the Royal Spring).
The garden is 108 m long and 38 m wide and is spread over one acre of land. It is the smallest garden among the three Mughal gardens of Srinagar; the Shalimar garden is the largest and the Nishat garden is the second largest. All the three gardens were built at the left bank of the Dal Lake, with Zabarwan mountains at the backdrop.
The topography and the steepness of the land has led the formation of the garden. The main focus of the garden is the spring which flows down in terraces and is divided into three sections: an aqueduct, waterfall, and fountains. A two-storey Kashmiri hut stands at the first terrace which is the origin of the spring. The water then flows down through a water ramp (chadar) into the second terrace. The second terrace serves as a water pool and a large fountain stands at its centre. The water again flows down through a water ramp into the third terrace, which is a square five-fountain pool. It is the lowest pool at the entrance of the garden. The visitors are received through a flight of stairs on both sides of the terraces which leads up to the origin of the spring. The water of the spring is believed to have some medicinal properties.

Electro-Muscle Stimulation is a special form of electrical current. It is administered at the site of soft tissue injuries, such as muscle injuries, to block pain and normalize muscle tone.
At first, you will feel a slight tingling sensation. The intensity of the treatment may be raised during the 10 to 20 minute course of treatment. A mild contraction and relaxation of the muscle occur.
It is an effective form of pain relief, recommended in cases in which pain is accompanied by swelling and inflammation or when abnormal muscle tone exists.
Electro-Muscle Stimulation reduces the sensation of pain, decreases swelling, promotes normal muscle tone and helps to speed the healing process.

Today, Collingwood is known as a resort town for all seasons, with great skiing, snowmobiling and for its close proximity to Wasaga Beach on Georgian Bay.
In the days before the arrival of European settlers, this area of Southern Ontario was inhabited by the Iroquoian Petun Nation who built their villages in the area.
They were driven out by the Iroquois in 1650 who were themselves later displaced by European settlers and freed slaves from the US who arrived here in the mid 19th century, and who brought with them their language and religion.
In 1858 the town was incorporated as a town and was named after Admiral Lord Cuthbert Collingwood, who was second in command under Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar.
In 1855 the railroad, in the form of The Ontario, Simcoe & Huron Railway came here and the harbour became the shipping point for the many goods which were heading to the upper Great Lakes - Chicago and present-day Thunder Bay.
As many ships were passing through, and needed repairs, this town became well known for both ship repairs and for ship building.
In 1883 the Shipyards here opened and for many years produced ships for commercial shipping, and also for the Royal Canadian Navy.
At its peak, shipbuilding employed 10% of the town's labour force.
The industry declined in the latter half of the twentieth century, due to overseas competition, resulting in it's demise in this town in 1986.
Today, there are a variety of industries and businesses to its credit, including Ethanol production, Pilkington Glass, the Goodall Rubber Company, C F Crozier & Associates (Engineering), and the Canadian Mist Whiskey distillery.
This town is currently famous for the wonderful skiing that is available here at Blue Mountain , which is well known in Southern Ontario.
When we go to Collingwood, we stay at the Georgian Manor Resort which is located on Vacation Inn Drive. This lovely vacation spot is luxurious and is a great base for travelling this area of Ontario.
One annual event that we mustn't forget to tell you about is the Elvis Festival - what a fabulous time we had there!

Chemicals which can cause bladder cancer include manufacturing dyes, rubber, plastics and various chemicals used in the tyre making, printing, chemical manufacturing and dyeing industries.
It can take many years for bladder cancer to develop after the exposure to such chemicals.
Certain occupations are known to be more at risk of developing bladder cancer including those working in the tyre making, printing, mining, metal casting and chemical plant industries. This list is not exhaustive.
Symptoms of bladder cancer include difficulty/pain on urinating and traces of blood in the urine. However please note that having one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have bladder cancer. Such symptoms can also be signs of much less serious conditions. Medical advice should be obtained.
If you have been exposed to chemicals at work and have later developed/been diagnosed with bladder cancer then you may be entitled to compensation.

A tutorial on writing MatLab-like functions using the Python language and the NumPy library.
Recently in my work, I was re-writing algorithms developed in MatLab to Python, some functions are not so simple to adapt, especially the array functions that are called Cell Arrays.
MatLab has an API where you can call MatLab functions via Python. The idea, however, was not to use MatLab, but the same algorithm works the same way using only Python and NumPy, and the GNU Octave also has an API similar to that of MatLab.
To maintain compatibility, I have created functions with the same name that are used in MatLab that is encapsulated in a class called Precision.
Below I will show some examples, these are contained in the unit tests.
Measuring the time spent in processing.
: > Elapsed time is 0:0:2 secounds.
This is used to get a percentile. In the example below, we are creating a range of ordinal dates by cutting 5% from the left and 5% from the right.
This converts a cell array to an ordinary array of the underlying data type.
Convert array to cell array with consistently sized cells.
This concatenates strings horizontally using strcat.
This counts the number of values in x that are within each specified bin range. The input, binranges, determines the endpoints for each bin. The output, bincounts, contains the number of elements from x in each bin.
Looking for unique values in an array and returning the indexes, inverse, and counts.
Looking for the overlays between two arrays returning the index.
There are functions that are not exactly MatLab but will serve as support, I hope it can help someone. There is an interesting article in NumPy for users who are migrating from MatLab to Python.

Motion graphics designer Ingi Erlingsson outlines the techniques used to add movement to your illustrated elements in After Effects.
Animation has never been bigger in television and advertising. Switch on practically any channel and within minutes you're likely to have spotted at least a couple of animated titles, maybe one or two character-based ads, and almost certainly an animated ident. The reason for this is partly financial, because animation can save thousands in production costs, and because it looks great too.
Thanks to Adobe's Creative Suite of software, animating elements drawn in Photoshop and Illustrator has never been easier. Adobe After Effects' tool palette and layout capabilities are similar to those of Illustrator or Photoshop, so you'll be able to get to grips with them in no time.
In this project, you'll learn how to animate using both vector and bitmap artwork in After Effects. Simply use the elements provided in the support files to work along with this tutorial, or start from scratch by creating some imagery of your own.

Healthy, fertile soil is the most important part of successful gardening. It is always advisable to test your soil so you know best how to improve it. And full sun is a must for vegetable growing.
Add at least 2 inches of organic matter each year. Over time your sand will become a more loamy soil which retains moisture.
Grow cover crops or green manures over winter and till them into your sandy soil in the spring before planting your vegetables.
The links below will give you additional information re. how to improve your soil.

Christmas is a time for giving, receiving — and stuffing tons of wrapping paper, leftover food, and other unwanted stuff in the garbage bin.
For Australians, this seems like a usual holiday thing. According to New Galaxy research, about 71 percent of Aussies would receive 20 million dud gifts, which equate to 20.6 million gifts. This corresponds to a $630 million worth of unwanted Christmas presents, which is shockingly $110 million more than last year.
Unwanted gifts are valued at $68 on average. The survey also revealed that in-laws are the usual givers of unwanted gifts, while about 9 million Australians are found to be re-gifting the items they received.
Apart from these shocking numbers, Australians are also reported to have embarked on a $46.7 billion splurge during the holidays.
Street litter has also risen with countless Christmas events outdoors, particularly on parks and the beach, according to Keep Australia Beautiful Chief Executive Officer Philip Robinson. He added that sometimes this happens because people do not have access to a bin.
It is possible to have low waste Christmas without being a Grinch. For instance, you can use recyclable wrapping paper and cards — or simply stop using wrapping paper altogether. Write a shopping list to reduce your leftovers as well.
After the party’s over, the least you can do is to recycle whatever you can, and hire a skip bin for what you can’t. Kwikskips.com.au says some Armadale skip bin hire companies will deliver your waste to a landfill facility to be broken down.
Recycle paper bags, wrapping paper, cardboard tubes, paper gift tags and greeting cards, and envelopes; a good idea is to cut them up to make next year’s festive gift tags. When it comes to unwanted presents, sell or donate them rather than throw them away. If you received some new cookware, recycle old pots and pans in your green recycling bin.
While it’s okay to indulge in Christmas delights, spare a thought for the environment. So trim your waste — but don’t stop when the festive season is over, and maintain the zero waste spirit year round.

Prior to the development of radiocarbon dating in the late 1940s, archaeologists relied primarily on historical records and the position of archaeological finds to determine the relative order of past events.
In other words, they may no longer be in their primary context.
When the bones of our early ancestors are found in the same geological strata as those of other animals that are known to have lived only during a specific time period in the past, we assume that these ancestors must also have come from that time.
Depending on how electrons are released from their traps, luminescence dating techniques can be separated as follows: All of these techniques can be applied to date sediment samples from archaeological sites, although OSL and IRSL are the methods of choice.
However, because the amount of C in the atmosphere has not remained constant over time, scientists have used other dating approaches, such as dendrochronology (dating wooden samples using tree rings), to calibrate radiocarbon dates.

John Adams is one of the best known and most often performed of living American composers. A New Englander from Massachusetts, he graduated from Harvard University, where he was active as a clarinetist, conductor and composer. He began his working career in 1971 on the West Coast, teaching at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and was composer in residence to the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra from 1978 to 1985. His creative output spans a wide range of media: works for orchestra, opera, video, film and dance, as well as instrumental and electronic music. His two operas have been well received though quite controversial, based on recent political events. The first was "Nixon in China", while the second "The Death of Klinghoffer" was based on the Palestinian hi-jack of an Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro. Short Ride in a Fast Machine dates from 1986, and is described as a "Fanfare for Orchestra". Its title is accurate, since the piece lasts barely five minutes, and is very fast - notice how the wood-block player anchors the shifting patterns throughout.

Question: I read somewhere that you must pour boiling water on the countertop to kasher it and then still need to cover them. Is this true. if yes then why?
Strictly speaking either kashering or covering the countertop should be sufficient, however many people do both.
The reasoning for this is that kashering alone is problematic l'halacha for many reasons. First of all, the countertop must be spotlessly clean including the seam where it meets the wall. Secondly, some opinions hold that pouring hot water is only suficient to remove the flavor inparted by liquid chometz but not by a solid. Futhermore, many are of the opinion that the flow of water must strike directly on each inch of the dry surface, which is nearly impossible. It should also be pointed out that kashering can be dangerous and many people suffer burns each year while preparing for Pesach.
Covering alone presents practical issues. If one uses a thin cover such as contact paper it is very likely to tear over the course of Pesach allowing ones Pesach food to come into contact with the chomitzdig counter. Therefore, it may have become a common practice to both kasher and cover, so that the imperfect kashering will at least serve as a backup to the flimsy covering.
However, the bast solution is to use a strong thick cover such as linoleum, and then no kashering would be requred.
Cut strips of linoleum the width of the countertop and tape all around the perimeter with duct tape.
HOw do you cover with linoleum? What about thick silverfoil? is that enough or should you kasher?

Gordon Stobart is Emeritus Professor of Education, Institute of Education, University of London and a Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University.
He previously worked as a secondary school teacher, as a school psychologist and a researcher for national assessment agencies.
Much of his recent assessment work has involved promoting formative assessment as part of improving teaching and learning. He was a founder member of the Assessment Reform Group which has promoted Assessment for Learning internationally. This has led to work with teachers and policy makers in many countries.
As a founder member of the Assessment Reform Group I have attended each of these international seminars in order both to report developments in England and in other countries in which I have been working and to learn about developments elsewhere.
The study of top performers across disciplines such as chess, music, art, sport, science and writing show some common patterns. These involve opportunities, motivation, expert teaching and coaching and extensive deliberate practice. These experts develop both mental frameworks which allow them to see the big picture and the capacity to monitor their own performance.
How can we translate what we know about expertise into classroom teaching and learning? Key elements of formative assessment are central to this. Clear learning intentions help learners to make sense of what they are learning and to see the big picture. Classroom dialogue helps establish where learners are and effective feedback moves learning forward. To do this well teachers themselves need to be experts who deliberately develop their own skills.

Epidemiological models are key tools in assessing intervention policies for population health management. Statistical models, fitted with survey or health system data, can be combined with lab and field studies to provide reliable predictions of future population-level disease dynamics distributions and the effects of interventions. All too often, however, the end result of epidemiological modeling and cost-effectiveness studies is in the form of a report or journal paper. These are inherently limited in their coverage of locations, policy options, and derived outcome measures.
Here, we describe a tool to support population health policy planning. The tool allows users to explore simulations of various policies, to view and compare interventions spanning multiple variables, time points, and locations. The design's modular architecture, and data representation separate the modeling methods, the outcome measures calculations, and the visualizations, making each component easily replaceable. These advantages make it extremely versatile and suitable for multiple uses.

Patsy Cline was an American country music singer. Part of the early 1960s Nashville sound, Cline successfully "crossed over" to pop music and was one of the most influential, successful and acclaimed vocalists of the 20th century. She died at the age of 30 in a multiple-fatality crash of the private plane of her manager, Randy Hughes.
Patsy Cline (born Virginia Patterson Hensley; September 8, 1932 – March 5, 1963) was an American country music singer. Part of the late 1950s/early 1960s Nashville sound, Cline successfully "crossed over" to pop music and was one of the most influential, successful and acclaimed vocalists of the 20th century. She died at the age of 30 in a multiple-fatality crash of the private plane of her manager, Randy Hughes.
Cline was best known for her rich tone, emotionally expressive and bold contralto voice and her role as a country music industry pioneer. Along with Kitty Wells, she helped pave the way for women as headline performers in the genre. Cline was cited as an inspiration by singers in several styles. Books, movies, documentaries, articles and stage plays document her life and career.
Her hits began in 1957 with Donn Hecht's and Alan Block's "Walkin' After Midnight", Hank Cochran's and Harlan Howard's "I Fall to Pieces", Hank Cochran's "She's Got You", Willie Nelson's "Crazy" and ended in 1963 with Don Gibson's "Sweet Dreams".
Millions of her records have sold since her death. She won awards and accolades, causing many to view her as an icon at the level of Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. Ten years after her death, in 1973, she became the first female solo artist inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1999, she was voted number 11 on VH1's special, The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll, by members and artists of the rock industry. In 2002, country music artists and industry members voted her Number One on CMT's The 40 Greatest Women of Country Music and ranked 46th in the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" issue of Rolling Stone magazine. According to her 1973 Country Music Hall of Fame plaque, "Her heritage of timeless recordings is testimony to her artistic capacity".

Recycling aluminum alloys provides both financial and environmental benefits that have led to the rise of a major global industry. Many specialized aluminum alloys have been developed for applications in the aviation and automotive industries and these alloys command premium prices, both as new material and scrap. It is therefore important for the recycler to accurately identify incoming material, and to separate different alloy grades before processing. This is best done by elemental analysis.
Laboratory-based elemental analysis is often not feasible or necessary. It can involve unacceptable delays and it’s always expensive. Fortunately, modern mobile and portable analyzers are available that can handle the necessary analyses on site. They provide accurate, positive material identification, even when used by non-specialist operators.
This paper describes two instruments from SPECTRO Analytical Instruments — the SPECTRO xSORT handheld analyzer and the SPECTROTEST mobile optical emission spectrometer — and explains their application for the analysis of aluminum alloys. The paper explains the technical issues that must be resolved and documents the results that these instruments can achieve for the recycler in terms of precision and time to results.

When it comes to foundation plants, you want to work with the architecture of your home. Formal homes that are symmetrical like Georgian, Colonial Revival, and Federals need a more formal, symmetrical design. Cottages, ranchers, and mid-century homes tend to look better with more casual, asymmetrical designs.
Avoid elements that detract from the main entrance.
Plan for detail around the main entrance. It’s what visitors see up close.
Plant large in back, small in front.
Tall features at the corners help tie the home to the landscape.
Don’t hide architectural features like decorative stone foundations.
Plan for all four seasons.
Use a mix of trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals.
Perhaps the newest trend in foundation beds is the advent of dwarf shrubs. Have you ever planted a shrub only to have it get gigantic a few years later? Now you can get these same plants at a fraction of the size, and they’re mature to a much smaller size. Various evergreens, azaleas, and hydrangeas all have dwarf varieties available.
Now is the perfect time of the year to start doing research, making sketches, and planning your landscape. If you’re creating foundation beds yourself, remember to take baby steps. With large landscape projects it is easy to get overwhelmed. Developing a landscape from scratch can take years of work. That’s part of the fun!

The Dyslexia Program provides training and regional assistance to districts, charter schools and parents in the area of Dyslexia. Most current definition of Dyslexia: it is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge. Adopted by the IDA Board, November 2002. This definition is also used by the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), 2002.

A user is unable to connect to a file server on your 10BaseT network (twisted pair Ethernet), although he is able to connect to folders on other computers. A single hub exists on the network. 10BaseT Twisted Pair Ethernet What hardware problems should you investigate?
Answer: Either a defective network interface card (NIC) on the file server or a defective hub port connected to the file server would prevent users from connecting to the file server. A defective cable between the file server and the hub would prevent communications between users and the server. Client/server communication problems can also be related to software issues. The user may not have permission to access the file server, or the user may not have the correct name or address of the file server. If the network has multiple subnets, problems could occur because of incorrect subnet mask settings or incorrect gateway address.

Prevention. According to the Center for Disease Control, 17.5% of children between the ages of 5 and 19 have untreated dental caries (cavities), and if left untreated it may cause secondary infections, malnourishment and anemia.
Education. Helping parents and kids understand the importance of good oral hygiene makes it easier to motivate children to take the initiative in fighting tooth decay. Parents also need to know the latest information about dental care and treatment options.
Familiarity. When a child becomes familiar with going to the dentist, it makes it easier to make and keep regularly scheduled appointments. It’s a good idea for children to have a good relationship with their dentist early on to help avoid developing a fear of dentists and maintain a positive attitude regarding Lowell pediatric dentist visits.

You can observe two spheres above, on the left hand you can see a 2D representation and on the right a 3D representation.
The sphere on the left looks more like a circle and feels kind of boring against the sphere on the right that is 3D and looks so real and attractive, it feels like it is coming out of the screen.
The study shows that if we ask a group of people to select between these two, 90% of people will select the 3D sphere because it shows the details and characteristics of a sphere.
Why People Go With 3D?
Our world is a three-dimensional plane and we are so familiar with it, for us, it is easy to interact and understand things those are part of it. And we easily memorize things by observing them from a different perspective.
Technology is creating its new peak day by day, we are familiar with 3D animated cartoons, Movies, Games. All the entertainment stuff. Almost every person enjoy the 3D World of entertainment because it feels more realistic than 2D, it shows more details like shadows, depth of field etc.
Chemistry is an interesting subject but mostly it is hard for students to learn chemistry or memorize the complexity of chemistry because it contains compounds, Compounds those are part of our daily life but have very difficult structure. If we talk on an educational level the structures of compounds are only visible in books and those are only on a two-dimensional plane that means you cannot observe them the way you want, you can not interact with them.
To solve this problem we have an easy solution for you that you can keep in your pocket and learn anytime you want. An application that teaches the basic 3-D structures of molecules, for the students of intermediate, matriculation, O-level, A-level and other students of Organic Chemistry. This will help you interact with the molecules that student face in their books, This is a very user friendly application that will help you understand and memorize the complexity of molecules.

Sustainable homes are those that minimise energy and water usage through innovative design and construction. A sustainable home also depends on residents undertaking behaviours that assist in reducing energy and water usage, as well as reduced waste.
View some energy saving tips [291KB].
Building an energy-efficient home will reduce ongoing energy costs. Passive design is the design that considers climate, building layout, insulation, thermal mass and ventilation and reduces the need for additional heating and cooling.
Orientation – North/east facing is ideal.
Heating and Cooling – Solar hot water systems and solar panels are recommended. Good design can reduce your reliance on heating and cooling, by using natural ventilation and insulation. When purchasing whitegoods look for the most energy efficient.
Lighting – Sky lights and solar light tubes provide free natural light. Energy saving lights such as CFLs or LEDs are preferable. CFLs use one fifth to one third less power than conventional lighting. With a standard halogen bulb lasting approximately 4000 hours and a standard LED light lasting approximately 50,000 hours, you’ll see energy savings of 75% to 90%. Paint rooms in pale colours so they need fewer lights.
Roofing - In hot sunny conditions dark coloured roofs absorb heat making them very hot. This heat radiates through the roof material into the building below. Light coloured roofs deflect the heat back into the air, keeping the roof area and building below cooler.
Construction Materials – Building materials that are non-toxic, renewable, recycled and sourced locally are preferable. Local salvage yards, second hand shops, eBay and Gumtree are good sources of re-usable materials.
Shading, Eaves and Glazing types – the local planning scheme, The Noosa Plan (for sustainability reasons) requires eaves to 75% of the perimeter of building to help shade walls from the sun and to provide general weather protection.
Water – By installing efficient showerheads and appliances. Take shorter showers and install rainwater tanks for gardens and pool top-ups. These are all water-saving practices. Native plants are also a great option for local biodiversity, and they require little water.
The Your Home website is packed full of resources to help build, buy and renovate a more environmentally sustainable house that’s cheaper to run, healthier to live in and has less impact on the environment.

Dental implant success is a product of the entire dental team working for the general welfare of the patient.
Success does not end with placement of dental implants.
This is the start of a renewed sense of improved oral health.
Patients come to our office for free dental consultations regarding evaluation of the various implant systems available.
Dental implants provide an opportunity for patients to smile again and restore the jaws where teeth have been missing for years.
The Dental profession has undergone major improvements in success rates for long term restorative care.
Dental implants have been the gold standard in the replacement of functional teeth.
We often hear and read the fact that digestion starts in the mouth.
An inability to effectively chew your food will not give you adequate nutrients locked within the healthy foods we consume.
Blenders are a good source for breaking down food sources to take advantage of nutrients.
An inability to chew effectively overworks the body.
A lot of energy is used in the digestion of food.
For this reason you will understand why we are told to periodically fast and cut down on late night snacks.
Energy is better spent assisting the body in fighting off pathogens and healing from whatever ails us.
A healthy body improves the quality and quantity of the jaw bone as a whole.
Dental Implant Success is also dependent upon adequate bone support.
There is no mystery that a healthy sub-structure is more stable than one where the patient consumes massive quantities of unhealthy substances.
I often talk to patients who have transformed their overall health by changing food consumption making healthier choices.
Eating to live is always better than living to eat all the harmful consumables we enjoy.
Those who have followed our blog will understand the harmful effects of high doses of sugar.
America is known for abusing sugar on a daily basis.
This is one reason why the American diet full of hidden sugars is so dangerous.

Adding a calendar to your smartphone is different depending on whether you have an iOS based device or an Android based device.
Sadly, my website has been without a useful events calendar for the last few months. Some changes to Google Calendar made the old system unusable, but opened the doors to an alternative; unfortunately, it took me until now to find some time to figure it out and implement it. Consequently, homework calendars are once again available, and I'll be adding the articles that contain instructions on how to subscribe to the calendars.
Long story short: you can view the calendars with due dates and work directly from your iOS and Android based smart phones. Instructions to follow shortly!
Note, I'm still in the process of finding the best way to present this information, so if some duplications appear on different calendars, bear with me.
Flex time is student study time that is not restricted to a particular classroom. Students have the flexibility to work in whatever room they need to, getting help from teachers who are available during this block of time on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Flex Time is class/instructional time – students are expected and required to be in a classroom or designated learning space, under teacher supervision, to meet with teachers for academic/learning support and guidance, to make up tests or assignments, to get ahead in course work, and to work on projects.
The transition time before Flex Time is not break time. Students are expected to move quickly to their ‘flex’ block. Students lingering in the hallways will be assigned to a flex learning space by staff.
or designated learning space part way through Flex Time.
Students may be required, at the discretion of any of their teachers, to attend Flex in their classroom to complete overdue work, assignments, tests, etc.
Flex Time is not part of a Study Block. Study Block students are expected to be in a learning space during Flex Time before or after their Study Block.

For children with severe disabilities, daily activities such as dressing are difficult, time-consuming, and often done to the child out of necessity. However, dressing can be beneficial for the child when combined with positioning and facilitation. When the child accepts the dressing process as a pleasant experience, there is an opportunity for fostering perceptual organization, efforts to assist, and positioning that reinforces function.

How can an electric motor be made into a generator?
A motor accepts electric current, which ultimately causes a shaft to rotate.
If you remove the electric current, and instead attach a load (light bulb or voltmeter) and rotate the shaft by some other force (wind, gas motor, etc) it will convert that force into electricity.
Basically, a motor converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, an electric generator converts mechanical motion into electrical energy.
So basically, if I have a 12 Volt, 100 amp, 4000rpm motor and turn the shaft at 4000 rpm, the end result would be that I would produce 100 amps at 12 Volts without any modifications to the motor?

MS is an immune-mediated demyelinating disorder with a neurodegenerative component. While most of the current therapeutic approaches are immunomodulatory, there is a definite interest and urgent effort to identify novel treatments to promote myelin repair and restore function. This presentation will feature round table discussion about stem cell therapy, repurposing old drugs for new applications, and complementary approaches.
Learn how recent changes to the MS standard will impact your patients' disability claims. Presented by Jame R. Hall, Attorney and Counselor at Law and Rosalind Kalb, PhD, Consultant at the National MS Society.
MS affects African Americans and Hispanics in different ways compared with other ethnic groups. Symptoms may differ, the disease may progress faster, and treatments may have different effects. Yet African Americans and Hispanics are underrepresented in clinical research, making it difficult to identify the best treatments or wellness activities to help them.

Weeping cherry trees, sometimes called weeping snow fountain cherry trees, have noticeable branches that droop gracefully over the trunk and produce a cascade of white or pink flowers in the spring. Keep weeping cherry trees healthy to encourage showy blossoms each year of the tree's life. Fertilizer is one way to make sure cherry trees stay healthy.
Fertilizers provide weeping cherry trees with the nutrients they need to grow successfully, produce blossoms and fruit and fight off diseases and pests throughout the growing season. The nutrients contained in fertilizer are usually nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, among others; the main nutrients contained aid all functions of tree growth, from leaf production to the creation of flowers. Adding fertilizer to the ground around a weeping cherry tree keeps the tree healthy.
Do not place fertilizers directly on the roots of the weeping cherry tree because it traps moisture and nutrients above the soil, which can lead to fungal diseases. Apply an even layer of fertilizer to the ground around the base of the cherry tree, staying 6 inches to a foot away from the actual base of the tree. Spread fertilizer before it rains or water the ground after fertilizing to help mix the fertilizer with the soil.
Apply fertilizer to the weeping cherry tree in the early spring to give the tree the nutrients it needs to produce healthy, attractive blossoms during the rest of the spring. Early applications of fertilizer give the tree nutrients for growth throughout the rest of the season. You can apply some fertilizers twice; follow all directions on the fertilizer to ensure that you use the correct amount to avoid problems with fertilizer burn.
Several types of fertilizers are available, from granular spreads to fertilizer spikes. Fertilizer spikes are stakes of fertilizer that are pounded into the soil around the weeping cherry tree; they provide slow release nitrogen and nutrients to the tree throughout the growing season, which removes the need for extra applications of fertilizer. Granular or spread fertilizers allow the weeping cherry tree to receive nutrients more quickly, which helps encourage growth in the spring.

A tidal energy turbine has been installed in the Tamar estuary as part of a project to investigate and optimise the device’s performance.
Researchers at the Australian Maritime College will conduct field experiments with the 2.4 metre-wide prototype in partnership with Sydney-based developers MAKO Tidal Turbines.
With Tasmania seen as a location with huge renewable energy potential, the site near Reid Rock (north of the Batman Bridge) was selected because of the ideal speed of the current.
The turbine is secured beneath a floating platform and connected to a mooring on the east side of the estuary.
AMC project lead, Associate Professor Irene Penesis, said tidal energy was a particularly exciting form of renewable energy, and completely predictable compared with solar and wind power.
“Tidal energy technologies extract energy from marine currents and tidal movements. This energy can then be converted into electrical power,” Associate Professor Penesis said.
“We want to monitor the effects of this particular project, but also understand the processes so we can apply the findings to other potential tidal energy sites.
Having undertaken extensive tow tank testing with AMC, MAKO Tidal Turbines will be undertaking research into how full-scale turbines operate in a real-world environment, and to confirm their low environmental impact.
The testing will include the influence of turbulence and biofouling (organisms growing on the turbine), which may impede performance and affect the longevity of the device.
MAKO Turbine’s Managing Director, Douglas Hunt said tidal energy was set to become a key part of the energy mix worldwide.
