a specific type of complex ecological community characterized by specific environmental conditions and a distinctive group of plants and animals, maintained in a relatively stable equilibrium, such as a rain forest biome or prairie biome.
a particular region which is a biome{1}.
A set of plant communities that have similar life-forms, generally expressed at a continental scale (e.g., the coniferous biome).
One of the major categories of the world's distinctive plant assemblages, e.g. the tundra biome, the tropical rainforest biome.
Recognizable community units formed by the interaction of regional climate, regional biota, and substrate. (e.g., The same biome units generally can be found on different continents at the same latitudes that produce about the same weather conditions and where topography is similar. Biomes are the largest land community units recognized.
The largest land community unit which it is convenient to recognize. They are produced from the interaction of regional climates with regional biota and the substrate. In a given biome the life form of the climax climatic vegetation is uniform. E.g. the climax vegetation of the grassland biome is the grass although the species of dominant grasses may vary in different parts of the biome. The life form of the vegetation provides a sound basis for a natural ecological classification since it reflects the major features of the climate and determines the structural nature of the habitat for animals. (Adapted from E.P. Odum 1971, Fundamentals of Ecology).
A particular geographic area with a common climate and characteristic plant and animal life. There are six major terrestrial biomes and two aquatic biomes. The six terrestrial biomes are tropical rain forest, savanna, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga, and tundra. The two aquatic biomes are marine and freshwater. Each biome is characterized by specific climax communities.
A complex community of living organisms covering a large geographic area characterised by distinctive stable life-forms.
An ecological community of organisms and environments.
A major biotic community composed of all the plants and animals and smaller biotic communities, including the successional stages of an area. The smaller communities in a biome possess certain similarities in gross external vegetation appearances (e.g., deciduous trees, coniferous trees, grasslands, and savanna/woodlands) and environmental conditions present (especially gross climatic conditions -- e.g., desert, tropical, temperate, tundra). The North American Grassland is an example of a named biome.
( Ecol.). A living community formed by all the organisms occurring together in a given habitat. ( BCFT).
A large, regional ecological unit usually defined by some dominant vegetative pattern such as coniferous forest or prairie biomes and produced by global climate patterns. There are eight major terrestrial biomes, two freshwater biomes, and a complex of marine biomes in the United States.

Once again the research developed at IT received great recognition in another edition of the URSI's Portuguese Committee Congress, sponsored by ANACOM. In this 13th edition, the ANACOM URSI Award distinguished the work " ISTSat-1 - The First Portuguese University CubeSat", which, according to the jury, was recognized for its "excellent quality, scientific rigor, clarity and cross-disciplinary".
The ISTnanosat team developed a CubeSat to perform a space mission demonstrating Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) technology for tracking aircrafts in remote regions of the planet. Since 2017, under ESA´s "Fly your Satellite!" Program, the team chose to develop almost all subsystems from scratch through several MSc theses. Having already designed, built and integrated all subsystems, and passed several testing campaigns, the team is now focused on the final acceptance tests and preparation for launch, which is likely to happen in the last quarter of 2020. The ISTnanosat team includes researchers from Instituto Superior Técnico, IT, INESC-ID and IDMEC.
The winner of the Best Student Paper Award was José Jesus, student of the 2nd year of the Master in Engineering Physics from IST, with the work: "Quantum Key Distribution through free space", supervised by Manfred Niehus (IT/ISEL) and Yasser Omar (IT/IST). This work reports the first demonstration of free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) in Portugal. By demonstrating free space QKD over 200 meters between the two towers of Instituto Superior Técnico, the work opens the way for autonomous Portuguese national and international quantum space communications, as well as for quantum communication between satellites.
João Caiado, from the University of Aveiro, was in third place, with the work "Ultra-wideband Log-periodic Antenna Array for LEO Constellations Terminals", a work developed at IT in Aveiro, under the coordination of Tiago Varum and João Matos (both from IT/UA).
There was also involvement of IT in the second place, won by Daniela Godinho (IBEB-FCUL) with the work "Extracting Dielectric Properties for MRI-based Phantoms for Axillary Microwave Imaging Device", supervised by Raquel Conceição (FUCL-IBEB) and co-supervised by Carlos Fernandes (IT/IST).

Rainham resident hopes to inspire others to follow their dreams with spoken word novel
PUBLISHED: 15:01 01 October 2018 | UPDATED: 15:02 01 October 2018
A Rainham resident has released a collection of spoken word and poetry that he hopes will inspire others to follow their dreams.
In his debut book, Love, War and Glory: Spoken Words for All Seasons, Denis Olasehinde Akinmolasire of Whybridge Close explores the human experience, from dealing with heartbreak and finding true love, to overcoming the odds and reaching your goals.
Speaking about his motivation behind the book, Akinmolasire said: "We all go through challenges in life, but it is about reflection and thanking the people who help you along the way. I am hoping it will be something that everyone can relate to."
Available as a paperback and an e-book, the book examines the concepts of love, war and glory in turn, and the ups and downs that come with each.
Comprised of uplifting verses such as Wonder Woman and insightful reflections like, Whatever Happened to the Concept of Marriage? - it runs the gamut of Akinmolasire's journey.
Writing a book was not the natural path for the 33-year-old.
After leaving university ten years ago with a degree in computer science, he has worked as a software engineer ever since.
Akinmolasire had always enjoyed reading and writing but with a busy professional life, getting a book published was just a dream on his bucket list.
But after year of big changes in his life, which saw him learn to drive, get a big promotion and purchase his first property, Akinmolasire was inspired to accomplish another goal and put pen to paper.
With one book under his belt, Denis shows no signs of stopping.
"I really enjoy the writing process and I have a lot more to say", he said.
For others with a dream in mind, he has some advice: "Just go for it. You don't know what you're capable of until you try".
Denis is holding an official book launch that will feature a Q&A, readings by the author, a raffle and a chance to purchase a signed paperback copy.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event, which will be held on Saturday, October 13 at 6.30pm at The Brittania Village Hall.

The cold weather is officially here and staying warm has jumped straight to the top of our list of sartorial concerns. But how do you navigate the freezing outdoors, sweaty public transportation and unpredictable heating while still serving up serious style? One word: layering. Here are three ways to pile it on (and strip it off) as the thermostat dictates...
By Eleanor Dunne, November 16, 2018
Layer player
For FW18, two coats are better than one — certainly if the Balenciaga runway is anything to go by. This season, the Parisian label brought layering to the next level — think the one where Joey wears all of Chandler's clothes in Friends. To avoid overheating (and back ache), we suggest just three pieces: a trench coat, a sports jacket and a hoodie. Add a bucket hat for a fresh '90s vibe.
The fluffy stuff
Getting out of bed on those gray Monday mornings is easy when you're swapping out your duvet for a super-soft faux-fur coat. Plus even with the most last-minute of looks, one of these babies will turn the luxe up to superstar levels. Here, we've layered it with a pink sweater and a so-this-season snake-print shirt, so you'll still be on point even when they crank up that radiator.
Fleece please
You can add the fleece to the list of gear no longer just reserved for your dad's closet (along with chunky sneakers and hiking boots). This winter, the chillproof zip-up is a wardrobe staple that's as cool as it is cozy. Buddy it up with tartan trousers and lace-ups for a look that keeps on the right side of orienteering weekend — and don't forget to add some lightweight layers underneath. To finish, a soccer scarf brings the accessories A-game. Go team.

In the short winter holiday we were able to put together our modest studio! It's a small room, barely fitting two people and the equipment, but it's perfect for the beginning. If this will grow we will consider to find a bigger place .
One week already passed, five more to go until we will seriously launch our small family business. All of our energy , love,time and hard work will go into it! In the mean time I'm continuing to work and try to finish as many orders as humanly possible with just two hands.
January is almost at the end and we still have frosty mornings out here. Although winter went much more easier on us compared to last year.
I'm so glad that I'm still able to enjoy snow, even if it snowed for a couple of days only! Four showy days were enough, the snow was maintained by the cold.
Some fresh pine needles that I got from up the mountains. I love drinking tea during the winter! And one of my favorites is the tea made out of pine needles ! I like to add fir needles into the mix too and sometimes I add chaga mushroom powder to my tea.
I cannot forsee what this year is going to bring us. I can only continue to work as hard as ever , but this time do it together, and pray that it will be as good as the old year.
I'm living with the hope that all the hard work is going to pay off and no matter how many or how tough the changes and challenges are going to be we will be able to face them , together, with a smile on our faces .

Earlier this week, Fstoppers creators Patrick Hall and Lee Morris posted a tongue-in-cheek video that mocked photographers' very real lust for the perfect bag. I hope you all got a great laugh out of that just like I did. We've all been in Hall's position, watching a seemingly endless pile of gear come out of someone else's bag. Today, I thought I'd go through the five bags I use on a regular basis for both my work in Seoul and my travel work.
Let me start by laying a few ground rules. These are not the best bags on the market. They are not the be-all-and-end-all. They may not be right for you. These are bags that I love. They are homes for my gear that I have found work best for the way I shoot and the equipment I use. The criteria for choosing these bags is simply that they do their job in a way that allows me to get my job done. A couple of these are out of production, but I have tried to provide alternatives where possible. So, here they are.
LowePro StreetLine SH 140
This little bag is something I wasn't sure about in the beginning, but it has been an amazing addition to my kit. I looked long and hard for the perfect bag for my day-to-day work, and this is it. I needed something I could put a couple of bodies, a couple of lenses, a flash, and, when needed, my laptop into. The LowePro StreetLine series is comprised of three shoulder bags and a backpack. I chose the SH 140 because I use a small laptop and because I love that you can fold the gear pockets to make room for different shaped objects. They can also be folded to accommodate things other than camera gear.
I typically use this bag for family sessions, corporate events, and personal days. On a family session, it holds two Fujifilm X-T2 bodies, my 16mm f/1.4, 23mm f/2, 35mm f/2, and 50-140mm f/2.8 lenses. For corporate events, I will usually take my 16mm lens out and replace it with a Godox TT350F flash, then add my laptop into the back sleeve if I have been asked for onsite deliveries. On my days off, I'll often mix a little street shooting with some blogging and a drone flight. My laptop, a Fujifilm X-T2 with a 23mm and a 35mm, plus my DJI Mavic Pro kit all fit in there snugly.
Think Tank Photo Retrospective 6
For times when the SH 140 doesn't quite work out, this is my go-to bag. I love it for weddings, couples sessions, and family sessions. The two main features that make this bag so appealing to me are its shallow design and those trademark Think Tank Photo sound silencers. At weddings, the Velcro can be covered with inbuilt flaps to silence the bag so you can open and close it without disturbing the guests.
The shallow design is perfect for smaller MILC systems like my Fujifilm kit. The lenses are much smaller than their DSLR counterparts, and so can be tucked into much shallower compartments. I can get two X-T2 bodies and four prime lenses into this bag with no problem at all. If I need a flash or a zoom like the 50-140mm, I can put it in a pouch and lay it over the top of the other lenses and bodies. The flexible lid of the bag and strong Velcro that holds it shut mean that I don't have to worry about anything falling out.
Again, this series of bags comes in many different sizes, so check them out on B&H.
LowePro Versapack 200AW
This is a bag that has so many different uses. It is broken into two different compartments. The bottom one has dividers for camera gear, while the top compartment is a single open pouch. It is useful for clothes on an overnight trip, or extra gear when the camera compartment gets full. By far my favorite feature on this bag, though, is the centrally-aligned tripod holder. With a bag this small, that is such a boon.
Typically, I use this bag when doing short overnight trips, or when I'm using my Wista 4x5. For an overnight trip, I can put a small amount of clothing in the top, a couple of X-T2 bodies and three or four prime lenses in the bottom. Then I can slide my laptop in the front if needed and strap on my tripod. With the 4x5 camera, it works really well as I can put the camera and two lenses into the bottom section, then have my film holders, loupe, and cable release in the top. Of course, the tripod gets strapped on at the end.
There are a few similar bags in Lowepro's Flipside Trek and Photo Sport ranges, but none offer all of the features of this bag combined.
F-Stop Gear Literoom Roller
F-Stop Gear may be known for their rugged backpacks and modular system, but my most used bag from their range is the now discontinued Literoom Roller. The reason I still include it here is that most of the reasons I love it can be found in alternatives.
Like most of F-Stop Gear's bags, the Literoom is an empty shell. You can then add their ICUs or configure the bag however you like. I use this bag when I travel as my carry-on luggage and for jobs in the city where I need a larger flash kit. As a carry-on, it allows me to get through airport security with minimal fuss as the bag fits within the size limits for most airlines. In the city, it allows me to take the strain off my back, meaning that I start my shoots much fresher than if I had to carry all the gear.
So, what makes it different from any other carry-on suitcase? Simply put, it's the durability. This thing has been hauled up and down stairs with 25 kilograms of gear in it. It has been wheeled through sandy villages in Myanmar. It's been through a typhoon in Taiwan, up and down mountains in India, on the back of a motorcycle in Laos. In short, it's been through everything I have, and there's not a stitch come loose. I really hope that F-Stop Gear starts making this again, as I'd like to have another in case it goes missing.
You might want to look into Think Tank Photo's Airport series if you just need bags to take your gear. Another option would be to pick up a good quality cabin roller and add one of F-Stop Gear's ICUs to it.
F-Stop Gear Loka UL
I've owned a lot of backpacks. None of them have fit my needs better than the F-Stop Gear Loka UL for traveling. If I'm going somewhere where I won't be taking my roller, this thing is coming with me. I can grab the ICU of gear out of my roller, drop it straight into this bag, and throw everything else in on top. My tripod only mounts to the side of this bag, but the straps are so well balanced that I don't even notice the extra weight after I've adjusted it. One other thing I love is that the bag opens on the side that is touching your back. That means you have to take this thing off to open it. The zips won't get caught on anything and nobody else can open the bag on you.
Like most of F-Stop's bags, it's made from rip-stop nylon. It's extremely durable, and again, I haven't lost a single stitch over the years I've been using it. Once I get it home, I can just hose it down, spray a little Febreze, and it's good as new. I do wish it came in an all-black option, as the blue accents are obnoxiously loud. Otherwise, this is a well-built, well-balanced bag that won't leave you tired at the end of the day, no matter how much you stuff into it.
Wrapping Up
So, there you have it, my favorite bags. Years of swapping, changing, buying, and selling have led me here. These are my bags for now (until I find the perfect bag to rule them all, of course). How about you guys? Have a bag you love? Tell us why and share with your fellow photographers.

For me, it's Lowerpro ProTactic 450 AW. It's amazing how much this back holds-two DSLRs with battery grips, portable strobe equipment, sound equipment, and lots of lens.
I had that bag a while back, and what surprised me most about it was how long it was comfortable to carry heavy loads. It really doesn't seem like it would be with the thinner straps and back padding.
I know it's not technically a bag, but I've been in love with my Pelican 1510 since I bought one a few years back. Certainly not the most portable solution compared to a F-Stop pack for example, but it's pretty indestructible, fits perfectly in the overhead compartment, and it's easy enough to get around with.
I had the experience of destroying the auto focus mechanism on a long lens in a roller as I pulled it on a boardwalk. The vibration of the boardwalk on the bag and lens cost me around $1,200. The wheels on the rollers are just to small to absorb the vibrations. Just something to be careful about.
Good stuff, I like backpacks because they don't hurt my shoulders
I still use my Lowepro Magnum 35 that I bought in the 1980's; it has room for my Canon A-1 or New F-1, three lenses (wide angle, normal, telephoto zoom), handle mount flash, filters, and film loops for carrying film. I also repurposed a Subzero insulated lunch bag for carrying either my A-1 or F-1; its small size fits in the size requirements mandated by the Augusta National Golf Club for The Masters practice round. Then, there's the Canon camera bag that was part of the kit I got with my Canon 5D III.
I'm trying to find a bag that doesn't get my back all sweaty. When I travel, I try to keep it light with a single DSLR and one lens, but I've yet to find a bag where it fits everything comfortably and won't make my back hotter than a sauna. Anyone have any luck with such a thing?
a highly active freelance photographer doing almost all kinds of photography would need all these bags plus some other ones, depending on the job at hand ...
the only problem would be, there's not 'one bag fits all applications' out there really, unless we have a 'modular' one perhaps ... still not the ultimate answer! have learned NOT to look for such an answer after doing photography for nearly five decades and tearing/wearing more than a dozen different kinds of bags ... that's why i have a collection of them now ... :-)
btw, there's a certain model of LowePro 'discreet' shoulder bag with a zipper on top i've been using for more than 6 years now, which is not IDEAL really, but has been good enough not to want me to switch to another one - yet ...
it looks like a beach-bag btw and can be used as such too, if you want to remove the velcro-attached compartment inside ... and you can still carry one small to medium size body and lens as well ... sorry doesn't have a model name printed on so i could name it here; couldn't find it online either, to share a link ... probably discontinued then ...
it's quite lightweight when empty, yet sturdy enough i carry it around almost everywhere ... it's not too large either, but i put 2 APS-C bodies, each with a lens on, and stuff it up with a number of other items (sometimes an extra medium size tele-zoom lens for example) and it does the job ... hope it'll last for years to come as i truly like it and want to keep it even after i get one of the sling backpacks that i prefer more ...
LowePro Fastpack BP 250 AWII. Holds my D850 with a 70-200, with room for other essentials, plus an area for non-camera stuff and a 15" laptop. Chest and waist straps are comfortable.
Just got this bag for Christmas. I like having a bag that I can pack a little bit of everything in. I have a smaller Lowepro sling for when I'm looking to travel lighter.
I have 2 Calumet Roller cases Calumet RC2065 and RC1188. The airport carryone size smaller one (RC1188) has a zipped front compartment to make an area twice as big as the bag so you can slot a tripod / lightstand bag into it. I can take 2 monolights, seamless backdrop roll, 6 stands, 2 dslrs with 6 lenses speedlights and triggers etc, laptop and tripod in two roller bags in one trip. The larger one is also sturdy enough to sit on. My back would have gone a long time ago without roller cases and that much kit used day in day out! Also fake Peli cases from trifibre (UK) are very good and a fraction of the price of real Peli cases.
Thanks for the mention! Simon / ThinkTank

Charity aims to keep poor kids in school
More than 50% of South Africans live in poverty, according to Stats SA. That's more than 30,4-million people – and Serame Mpato wants to do something about it.
That's why he co-founded the Give To The Needy organisation, which aims to distribute clothes, sanitary pads and school material to disadvantaged people in Ikageng in the North West.
Give To The Needy was founded in June and has so far assisted about 10 people. Mpato, who works at a retail store, started the organisation after he heard a shack burnt down in Ikageng, and the victims lost everything. He started by donating clothes he owned and of those of family members. When he realised that more people in the community needed assistance, he and his cousin Vusi Noruka established Give To The Needy.
So far the two have collected over 20 bags of clothes across Ikageng, including from 2018 Miss Africa finalist Pearl Mashila. Mpato aims at extending his donations to food parcels, pads and school necessities like books, pens and crayons.
Collecting uniforms
The organisation aims to keep learners in school by collecting uniforms from graduates who don't need their old uniforms anymore.
"When I was growing up I saw my peers drop out of school because they could not afford the uniform. That's a problem I want to address," Mpato said.
He was thrilled with how the community of Potchefstroom has responded to the organisation's call for help. He said every week someone donated a bag of clothes.
A recipient of the Give To The Needy donations, Betty Mshiya, from the Baipei informal settlement in Ikageng, said the donation had made the world of difference.
"As a single unemployed parent, life is hard. I want to thank Serame and Vusi for making sure my son has school clothes, and also donating clothes to me," she said.

For NGOs, the use of social media can give them visibility through a wide reach of audiences. This is essential for NGOs as it allows them to connect NGOs to a variety of networks such as corporate funding for NGOs, philanthropic organizations, NGO funding agencies, and more. Through the proper use of social media pages, NGOs will give them opportunities to network effectively.
Social media sites are becoming more and more similar to keep up with competition. As many users have noticed, people can now use hashtags on all social media platforms whereas it used to be exclusively used on Twitter. Similarly, Snapchat also used to be the go-to app when it comes to sharing stories. But recently, Instagram has come up with an update where people can share their stories through the app as well. Because of this innovation, a number of people have stopped using Snapchat and opted for Instagram instead. With social media sites like Facebook and Twitter gaining more and more features, some organizations like NGOs may wonder what the proper usage is for Facebook and Twitter.
Twitter is for everyday updates
Although it's not so bad to post updates on Facebook every day, Twitter is the type of platform more known for this type of update. In fact, people even tweet more than once in a day to update their followers about what they do. The #NowHappening hashtag is quite known to take place during events.
Facebook allows you to share albums
Twitter is a place where people can tweet about highlights of a particular event or development in the organization while on Facebook, they could describe the entire event. For instance, if you want a detailed description of the events that took place during a particular event or a particular person's narrative, Facebook will be the ideal place to do it. Unlike Facebook, Twitter has a 240 character limit which is sufficient for highlighting a particular idea. Additionally, Twitter only allows you to share up to 4 photos per tweet.
Facebook Live
Recently, since Instagram has added the feature of allowing users to share stories, Facebook has joined in. In fact, Facebook could also be synced to Instagram and share the same stories. With this additional feature Facebook has, it can be a venue where fundraising events or ribbon-cutting ceremonies for newly established sites can be featured live. After which, these videos can then be featured on one's Facebook timeline while snapshots of the event can be shared on Twitter.
If it were a conference you are attending, Twitter can be the perfect venue to share a few relevant phrases or sentences which the speaker shares with their audience.
Among all social media accounts, Facebook has the widest reach of audience from different organizations and sectors. Thus, there would be no point of still starting up a Twitter account if you are to make it look exactly like your Facebook account. Tendency is, interested parties will only like your Facebook page and not even bother following your Twitter account. In fact, they might even consider hitting either the mute or unfollow button for the fact that they may not necessarily enjoy seeing a post or update over and over again. Being on multiple social media accounts allows NGOs not only to reach out to more people from different sectors, it also gives people something to talk about which will evidently grasp the attention of other organizations.
Ultimately, Facebook and Twitter are both useful in terms of acquiring partnerships and even donations from various individuals and organizations. Thus, they co-exist with different features and target markets. As NGOs, to get the most out of these platforms who offer great benefits, one must know when and how to use them. If not, many good opportunities social media marketing can just go to waste.

If you love the feeling of memory foam, but you don't want to buy a new mattress, the TEMPUR-Topper Supreme might be right for you. It is a thick memory foam mattress topper that could really change the firmness and feel of your old mattress. Check out our full written TEMPUR-Topper review with hi-res photos and detailed notes here: https://www.mattressclarity.com/mattress-topper-reviews/tempur-topper-supreme-review/ We maintain an affiliate relationship with some of the products reviewed, which means we get a percentage of a sale if you click over from our site (at no cost to our readers). See our full disclaimer and disclosures here: https://www.mattressclarity.com/disclaimers-disclosures/ The TEMPUR-Topper is 3" thick and features a removable cover and a thick piece of TEMPUR-Material. This is a great mattress topper for back sleepers. If you sleep on a mattress that is too firm, you might be uncomfortable when you are back sleeping. This memory foam mattress topper will soften your mattress so that your hips can sink in a fair amount. You will also feel the memory foam taking the shape of your body. Do you want a mattress topper for side sleeping? The TEMPUR-Topper is also a good option. It is thick and contains high-density memory foam. Lying on your side, you should feel the pressure on your shoulders and hips just melting away. It could be you simply love slowly sinking into your mattress. The TEMPUR-Topper can add this memory foam feel to your mattress and rejuvenate your sleeping surface! Those who sleep with a partner should also look at this topper. The thick memory foam will help cut down on motion transfer so that you and your partner do not disturb each other at night. However, if you want a mattress topper for stomach sleeping, you might want to look elsewhere. The TEMPUR-Topper softens the mattress a lot so you might not get enough support when you are on your stomach. Also, the TEMPUR-Topper might not work for those who sleep hot or have mobility issues. This is a memory foam topper so it might trap heat and make it more difficult to switch positions at night. While the TEMPUR-Topper is a durable, high-quality topper, it might be too pricey for some. It is worth the price but, if you want something more affordable, you might want to look elsewhere. Overall, I enjoyed my experience on this topper. Does it sound like a good option for you?

Kuora: Genetics and diet: why northern Chinese people are taller than southern Chinese
Northern Chinese are taller than their southern counterparts, but why? That's the question Kaiser originally answered on Quora on November 6, 2014.
First, let's establish that what the question assumes is really true: Yes, in fact, Northern Chinese are indeed generally taller. A 2010 study looked at mainland Chinese population groups and found, for men, the following (which I'm taking from the Wikipedia page on human height, where you can find the citations for the study).
172.1 cm 160.1 cm (19-year-old subjects)
Beijing (North China)
174.7 cm 161.3 cm (21-year-old subjects)
Sichuan (South China)
169.2 cm 158.2 cm (20–24-year-old subjects)
Human height is largely a function of the height of parents, but this difference has been observed for many centuries, so clearly something is at work. Northerners have generally been taller at least since Song times, which is something remarked on in books I've read on that era, and in the observations of travelers who visited China during that time; and from conversations I've had on the subject with historians. My working hypothesis is that it's a combination of genetics and diet. The ancestry of Northern Chinese is a mixture of the more-or-less indigenous "Han" peoples of the North China Plain with Turkic, Turko-Mongolian, Tungusic and others who comprised the various nomadic invaders who took and mostly ruled North China during the Era of Division following the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the 3rd through 7th centuries; again in the 10th through 13th; and once again from the mid-17th through the early 20th. The ancestry of the south is a mixture of the (again, only more or less) indigenous Malayo-Polynesian peoples who were only notionally "pushed out" of what's now China but clearly interbred with people who migrated southward over centuries, culminating in concerted pushes during the Han through Tang periods, and who probably bore much closer physical resemblance to peoples of Indochina and Indonesia.
As for diet, the fact that the wheat-vs-rice agricultural line so closely matches the height distribution line makes me believe that this must have a role. Milled wheat, the staple in North China above the line of the Huai River and the Qin Mountains, has higher protein content than milled rice, which is the staple of the South. More dairy was also consumed in the north, due in large part to the cultural legacy of the pastoral nomads who ruled large swaths of North China for much of its history. While I'm not aware of historical nutrition studies for China, it's well established that adult height has a lot to do with nutrition — as is easy to see anywhere, north or south, in China today, where on any high school campus you can see plenty of 17-year-olds who are 184 centimeters (6 feet) or taller still!

About this item
The early years of the United States werent wholly tranquil. The new nation was on rocky economic ground. Though paper money was in circulation, it wasnt worth much. Many people were suffering and didnt have a voice in government. These conditions gave rise to the rebellion led by former Continental army captain Daniel Shays, beginning in 1786. This volume explains what happened when Shays and more than one thousand followers attempted to capture a Massachusetts arsenal and how this rebellion led to the formation of a new and stronger federal government.

Before the wind turned on there was still some decent swell still out there this..
We finally have some sizeable surf showing up in Rincon. The wind was completely dead..
Hurricane Irma wasn't as bad as she could have been. She kept far enough away..
The winds were hard south all day long and the swell just continued to crank..
This was such an amazing day. The form was so good, the water so clear,..

Kylie Minogue is enjoying her honeymoon era.
Following the free surprise-release of her 'Kylie + Garibay' EP on Thursday (Sep. 10) alongside American DJ and producer Fernando Garibay (Britney Spears, Lady Gaga), Kylie Minogue shares a visual for one of the song's titled "Black & White" featuring Shaggy.
The appropriately black and white filtered clip appears grainy and low budget, a vast difference between most of Minogue's polished catalogue. Taking a page from Lana Del Rey's book visually, Minogue is seen frolicking outside in a two piece swimsuit and wedding veil. It's unusual for Minogue to lose the glitz and glam for a music video – exactly why her latest project remains a welcome and tantalizing confusion.
The singer posted the announcement on Instagram early Friday morning, saying "Surprise #LOVERS … New KYLIE + GARIBAY EP out today! Featuring #GiorgioMoroder, #Shaggy and #SamSparro!!! #YourBody #BlackAndWhite #IfICantHaveYou @FernandoGaribay."
We imagine her upcoming disco-inspired Christmas album will require the bright lights and high budget videos, so for now revel in this new side to Miss Minogue.

Ad of the Day: Hotwire.com
Travel site brings America down to size with 'Map World'
Travel site Hotwire.com has always been a down-and-dirty direct response advertiser, hammering home its message of low prices without too much regard for creativity. Now, in a pair of new spots from Donat/Wald + Haque, it's trying to branch out a bit. Instead of relentlessly harping on the great deals you can get with Hotwire, the new messaging incorporates the more general notion that people would all like to take more trips to cool places. This element is visualized in a fun way, with people towering over a giant grassy CGI map of America. (The campaign as a whole is called "Map World.") When they talk about a particular city, a small version of it pops up out of nowhere—with its recognizable landmarks and little people tooling around doing regionally appropriate stuff (grilling in Austin, surfing in San Diego). Somewhat jarringly, the spots try to shoehorn in an on-screen price comparison versus Travelocity and Orbitz in the middle. But then we're back to the map and the little cities. We're not talking earth-shattering work here, but it's all quite visually appealing and playful, and makes travel to these places feel literally within one's grasp.

We talk a lot about dexterity, my music teacher John David and I, because within our context, that of bluegrass banjo, it's important. But I've just listened, again, to a demonstration of musical dexterity that puts almost everything else to shame.
I had the urge to listen, for the first time in a long time, to the Moonlight Sonata, the masterpiece by Ludwig van Beethoven – it's Opus 27, Number 14, for those who insist on the details. So I dug out the disc, fired up the stereo system out in the living room and settled in.
The version I have is by Arthur Rubinstein, the genius gnome whose playing never will be surpassed. And I'm able to hear it well over very solid, very high-fidelity equipment the likes of which I couldn't afford today – the speakers, for instance are Paul S. Barton towers that I bought many years ago when one of my three books was paying off wonderfully well. (Didn't tell Laura what I was going to do, when I embarked on the mission to buy them, on the theory that it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.)

European Friends - TRADITIONAL TOYS AND GAMES
Children certainly love toys and playing games. They love to search for them, construct their own toys, learn about toys from other times and other countries. Yet it is increasingly a common happening for children to spend many hours playing games in isolation via their computer or games console. Fewer are the opportunities for them to play games socially with their family or friends. All too often television, dvds and time on the computer take a more predominant role in their day to day lives. Children are spending an increasingly large amount of time indoors and missing out on more physical games that promote healthy living.
Bruegel: Children's games
Our traditional toys and games project will provide opportunities for the development of personal learning and thinking skills, key skills that will support improved prospects and skills for lifelong learning and future employment. We hope to arouse their natural curiosity and creativity, providing a more balanced range of social activities.
Learning to enquire independently, think creatively to solve problems, adapting for team work, opportunities to manage themselves independently and evaluating their own strengths will play a major role.
The aspects of the project fully support cooperation between the partners schools staff and children with many opportunities to share work, collaborate during activities and evaluate the outcomes together. It will enable children to ask questions and learn answers from first hand experience.
By researching the toys and games of past times, children will have the opportunity to form productive relationships regardless of age. The European dimension will enable them to develop positive relationships with people from different surroundings other than their own. Games will provide the first stepping stone in establishing worthwhile friendships regardless of language barriers. It will also enable the children to further develop their awareness of their own cultural identity while promoting speaking and listening skills. The project will enable them to learn about the toys, games and sporting hobbies from their peers in other countries, comparing them with their own and identifying commonality.
The project will include participation in team sports and games that promote exercise and healthy living. It will promote their involvement in further out of school sporting hobbies.
It is hoped that teachers will use the project as a catalyst to develop their own teaching expertise, exchanging pedagogical practise and information about the organisation of school's in different countries. It will motivate them to further extend their knowledge of ICT and modern communication technologies.
Through the project 'Traditional Toys and Games' the European partners intend to raise awareness of their own and others national language, history, geography and culture through play and games. This real life context will awaken the pupils' curiosity and interest for other cultures and language while providing a purposeful scenario to their work. Sharing facts, experiences and time with their European peers will enrich them physically, emotionally and mentally.
Pupils in all partner countries will learn more about their own local history, with local community members and parents involved in each stage of the learning process. All stakeholders will have the opportunity to participate in various games, workshops and ICT activities.
Activities will include: researching the history of toys in their own and other countries, learning to play games/sports and to teach them to others, designing and manufacturing toys made from natural materials and mathematical games to support number skills. They will also address the requirements of others who have differing needs.
Through the project outcomes we hope our children will become more active, making better choices for a healthy lifestyle as well as developing leadership skills. The nine partner schools will exchange information via post, a shared website, webchats, a blog, the internet and while participating in mobilities. Cooperation between children will play an important role and we hope to include them in as many mobilities as possible. They will develop a European spirit while learning to respect and value the diversity amongst them and develop language skills accordingly.
Concrete objectives:
-arouse natural curiosity and creativity through cooperative tasks
-enhance the personal development of pupils by promoting basic life skills
-promote equality by including participants from economically deprived areas, those from ethnic minorities and children with specific educational needs or disabilities
-to encourage leadership, active citizenship, healthy lifestyles and community cohesion
-raise awareness of own cultural heritage

-encourage the learning of foreign language skills
-exchange experiences/ideas from each other's school systems and curriculum, supporting improvements in pedagogical approaches
-motivate teachers, children and their families to make the most of modern communication technologies
Problems and Subjects to address:
-lack of participation in healthy activities and pass times that enrich their lives mentally, socially, emotionally and physically
-low self esteem and poor motivation for learning
-lack of awareness of their own cultural heritage and that of their European peers
-lack of sensitivity to the needs and cultural identity of others resulting in stereotyping and racially motivated confrontations
-lack of confidence when using and keeping up to date with information technology.
-poor opportunities for children to visit other places outside their own local environment.
Approaches we will use:
-Cooperation/collaboration in different ways e.g. face to face, sharing via website.
-Teacher and pupil involvement in visits to partner countries sharing first hand experiences and learning through cooperative tasks linked to traditional toys and games
-Participate in visits to museums, exhibitions and local places of interest
-Design and manufacture toys and games for people with different needs than their own e.g. older person, others who do not speak their language
-Cooperate to develop a European good friend charter or 'golden rules' for sharing toys and playing games
-Project meetings to encourage communication and a shared ethos between the teachers and pupils
-Development of skills using new technologies: emails, video conferencing, shared learning platforms, website, blog and alike
-Community events to promote a range of stakeholders in community e.g. craft workshops, games events, celebrations and local displays
