January 18, 2022 If you are familiar with MPA, then you are probably also familiar with the AnnMarie Thomas Makerspace. Electrifying in its concept and its form, this area of the school houses the intersection of creativity and innovation. The Makerspace is the physical manifestation of MPA’s long-standing belief that learning should be hands-on, experiential, and joyful. Keith Braafladt, MPA’s technology and innovation teacher, has already found himself right at home in the Makerspace during his first year as a faculty member. As a new friendly face on campus, Keith has dedicated this year to developing strong relationships with MPA teachers to integrate and deliver the best Makerspace curriculum and experience to our students. Curriculum that exists in the Makerspace connects liberal arts thinking with 21st century skills and competencies, providing students with opportunities to construct meaning through making via practical, hands-on, interdisciplinary, and problem-based projects. Most often, the work is centered around the design thinking process, a systematic way to solve real-world problems that major corporations use in the workplace. One of the most memorable projects to occur in the Makerspace this year is still adorning the outer windows of the room, prompting those who pass by to pause and share a smile that is reflecting back at them. The activity was informally and aptly named “making faces,” because that is precisely what Lower School students did. Essentially, they observed, looking for faces out in the world. And under Keith’s model, the idea was to use all of the donated, found, and collected materials at the students’ disposal in the Makerspace to create a face out of everyday objects themselves. Keith has friends at the Exploratorium in San Francisco that have been doing a similar activity that inspired this one. Read More

Skolt Sámi Heritage House The Skolt Sámi Heritage House, located in the village of Sevettijärvi, presents the culture and traditions of the Skolt Sámi. The village of Sevettijärvi is the centre for Finland’s Skolt Sámi culture in regard to its number of inhabitants and preservation of the culture. Originally, the Skolt Sámi lived in Pechenga on the Kola Peninsula, in the area of the present Russia. As a result of World War II, the Sámi of Suonjel (Suonikylä) were, after an evacuation period, settled in the Sevettijärvi – Näätämö area in 1949. The objects, films, photographs and texts at the permanent exhibition of the Skolt Sámi Heritage House recount the history of the Skolt Sámi in the Sevettijärvi-Näätämö Area. The Skolt Sámi Heritage House is located at an old Skolt Sámi house. The State built many corresponding houses in the eastern part of the Inari municipality in the late 1940s when the Skolt Sámi who had been evacuated from Petsamo in the Winter War were allocated places of dwelling in Finland’s territory. The majority of the Skolt Sámi who settled down in Sevettijärvi were Skolt Sámi people from the village of Suonikylä. The Skolt Sámi Heritage House operates in an old Skolt Sámi homestead that includes a “Skolt home” and its outbuilding. In connection with the Heritage House, there is an open-air museum which introduces the visitors to the summer place of the Suonjel sijd, or Lapp village. In connection with the Skolt Sámi Heritage House there is a small museum shop that sells Skolt Sámi crafts and literature. Free entry.

Data published recently in the British Medical Journal found that children in England who received GSK’s Pandemrix vaccine during the 2009-10 H1N1 swine flu pandemic had a 14-fold heightened risk of developing narcolepsy, a chronic and potentially debilitating sleep disorder that can cause hallucinations, daytime sleepiness and cataplexy, a form of muscle weakness precipitated by strong emotion. Authors of the study – whose results echo those of similar studies in Sweden, Finland and Ireland – said the data had implications for the approval and use of future vaccines that, like Pandemrix, contain AS03, a new adjuvant, or booster, that turbo-charges the body’s immune response to the vaccine. Scientists believe AS03 may be the culprit in the narcolepsy cases though they have yet to decipher the precise nature of the association. That uncertainty poses a challenge for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is considering an AS03-containing vaccine for use in the event of an H5N1 bird flu epidemic. Like Pandemrix, which has not been approved in the United States, it is made by GSK and is almost identical in structure. A 14-member panel of advisors to the FDA voted unanimously in November to recommend the vaccine to protect against bird flu. The panel considered early studies from Europe showing an increase in the number of narcolepsy cases but concluded that the potential benefit of the vaccine outweighed the risk.

The biogeography of mammals of fragmented sagebrush steppe landscapes Journal of Mammalogy We sampled small mammals of fragmented sagebrush steppe on the Snake River Plain, Idaho, and compared the effects of habitat isolation on their diversity, abundance, and species composition in 2 landscapes, kipukas, which are patches of sagebrush-steppe habitat that were isolated by late-Pleistocene and early-Holocene lava flows, and remnant patches of sagebrush steppe that remain within recently developed agricultural areas. Species richness decreased with increasing isolation in both lava and agricultural landscapes, and Peromyscus maniculatus (deer mouse) was the only species found on kipukas that were isolated by more than 400–800 m, suggesting that many native sagebrush-steppe species may decline or disappear from fragmented sagebrush steppe. Density of small mammals increased with isolation on the agricultural patches, but decreased with isolation on kipukas; however, increased densities were entirely due to P. maniculatus. Diversity of small mammals on kipukas was highly correlated with absolute and proportional abundance of shrubs, probable indicators of sagebrush-steppe vegetation. Additionally, Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) may play a role in the low diversity and density of mammals on kipukas, because both diversity and density were lower where cheatgrass was present than where it was absent.

Kiribati, officially the Republic of Kiribati,is an independent island nation in the central Pacific Ocean. The permanent population is just over 110,000 (2015), more than half of whom live on Tarawa atoll. The state comprises 32 atolls and one raised coral island, Banaba. They have a total land area of 811 square kilometres (313 square miles) and are dispersed over 3.5 million km2 (1.4 million sq mi). Their spread straddles the equator and the 180th meridian, although the International Date Line goes round Kiribati and swings far to the east, almost reaching the 150° W meridian. This brings Kiribati's easternmost islands, the southern Line Islands south of Hawaii, into the same day as the Gilbert Islands and places them in the most advanced time zone on Earth: UTC+14. Kiribati is the only country in the world to be situated in all four hemispheres.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room. At sea level, a person is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure (or 1 ATM) and breathes approximately 21% oxygen. In a hyperbaric chamber, this is increased to 100% oxygen and 1.5 to 3 times the normal atmospheric pressure. This allows the blood to carry more oxygen and deliver 15-25 times more oxygen to the tissues and organs of the body. Oxygen has natural healing properties and increasing the amount that is circulating throughout the body, stimulates the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing. HBO therapy is done by sitting in a chamber known as a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and using a mask or hood. In an HBOT therapy room, the air pressure is raised up to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, the lungs can gather up to three times more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. This extra oxygen can help where healing is slowed down by infection or where blood supply is limited by damage to the tissues. It encourages new blood vessels to grow and carry additional blood and increases the ability of the body’s defense mechanisms to fight infection and kill bacteria. Mechanisms of Action The History Hyperbaric Therapy The use of HBOT dates back nearly 350 years. The first hyperbaric chamber was created in 1662 by British physician Henshaw who named it a domicilium. The clinical use of HBOT started in the mid-1800s. In the early 1930s, the military developed and tested HBO for purposes specifically in the area of deep sea diving and aeronautics. During the 1960s, studies began on a wide variety of indications for HBOT. In 1955, physician Churchill Davis studied the use of hyperoxia (an excess of oxygen in the system) to increase the effectiveness of radiation used for cancer patients.

A study released today confirms that significant emergency preparedness enhancements have been implemented by Bruce Power over the past 10 years, making the site safer, stronger and better prepared to deal with even the most unlikely emergency. The study, commissioned by Bruce Power and completed by Kinectrics, a leader in providing life-cycle management services for the electricity industry, analyzes the consequences for a range of potential but highly-unlikely accident scenarios. The study has determined that off-site protective actions would not be required because any potential off-site risks to the public – even in the most unlikely situation. Soon after an earthquake and tsunami crippled a nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan, in 2011, the world’s nuclear plants – including Bruce Power – underwent thorough reviews and made upgrades and changes to ensure lessons learned were captured at their facilities. Bruce Power has spent tens of millions on post-Fukushima enhancements in the decade since, including installation of Shield Tank Overpressure Protection on all units, which removes the need for radiological venting to the environment. Bruce Power will provide input from this study to the Office of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management in support of the ongoing enhancement process, which is expected to result in a revised PNERP in 2022. This input will help validate changes made to emergency planning zones surrounding the Bruce Power site as part of the 2017 PNERP update.

Data can be defined as the information stored in machine readable language consisting of confidential information which can be personal information of the customers of a company or the financial records of individuals who rely upon a banks and financial institutions to safeguard their money or funds. Hence, it becomes very important for each organization, not only financial institutions, to keep the data in an ultra-secure environment, rather than losing it to hackers or spammers who may misuse the vital information and cause extreme financial losses to the organizations and the individuals. But what happens when, the data is no longer required or the devices where the data resides have reached their device lifetime and require refurbishment or disposal? It just cannot be simply deleted or scraped as junk, because it still carries potential threat to the organization as it might be misused for frauds or personal gains. As the deleted data can be still be retrieved using specialized software or programs. This is the stage when professional data destruction comes into play. So let’s take a look at how professional data destruction works. The process begins with ensuring that data privacy is taken care off and there are no probable leakages from where the data lands up in the hands of uncouth professionals or individuals who may misuse it for their personal gains. Then begins the stage of hard drive/disk shredding, in this process all the data is shredded into redundant information, which cannot be understood or read by humans as well as machines. The final stage of professional data destruction ensures that no residual data which can pose any threats of breaching data privacy is present on any of the devices undergoing the process of asset disposal. RK Recycle has mastered the art of onsite and offsite data destruction and asset disposal, to ensure that the data to be discarded is completely destroyed by using the most efficient and best practices in the industry. RK Recycle also has a variety of offerings in its spectrum of services which includes, data erasing, hard drive sanitation, hard drive/disk shredding with maximum attention to ensure that the data has been completely erased.

The Manitoba Museum is hosting a Dome@Home in honour of Manitoba Day. On May 12, 1870, the Manitoba Act was created, and today marks its 152nd anniversary. Dome@Home is a recurring weekly event that the Manitoba Museum puts on, and today they are focusing on Manitoban skies and local astronomical history. The online show has slowly transitioned from centring on local constellations and where the planets could be seen to spacecraft history and explaining high-tech tools used today. Scott Young, the Planetarium Astronomer at the Manitoba Museum, says, "As we approached Manitoba Day, we thought, well, what are the Manitoba space stories that we could tell? That's when we started thinking of the Churchill Rocket Range and talked to our museum colleagues and put together a little program on that." The Churchill Rocket Research Range was the only spaceport in Canada in the 1950s and it was used to send rockets into space to study the northern lights. "There's this whole, sort of, hidden space story for Manitoba that a lot of Manitobans know nothing about," says Young. On Sunday night, starting at 9:30 pm, there is also a total lunar eclipse, and even though the sky looks to be cloudy for the weekend Young is not worried. "We're going to do a live stream for the eclipse no matter what, because we have friends all across the country who have also been doing astronomy shows online. We basically got arrangements in place that if one place is cloudy we can use the feed from, you know, we got friends out in New Brunswick, over in Edmonton, and out in Vancouver," says Young. "Wherever it's clear, somewhere it's going to be clear, and we'll get a feed to broadcast to our show." Young says that the show is a great way to connect with others and to join a community of people who enjoy learning about space. The Dome@Home show is available on the Manitoba Museum's Facebook page and YouTube channel. The Manitoba Museum has other events planned for the summer months, find out more on their website.

The early months of the COVID-19 pandemic saw drastic reductions in travel and other economic sectors across the globe that greatly decreased air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. These dramatic changes occurred quite suddenly. This abrupt set of changes gave scientists the unprecedented opportunity to observe the results of changes that would ordinarily have taken years if they came about through regulations and gradual behavior shifts. A comprehensive study by Caltech on the effects of the pandemic on the atmosphere has revealed some surprising results. The biggest surprise is that even though carbon dioxide emissions fell by 5.4% in 2020, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere continued to grow at about the same rate as in previous years. According to the researchers, the reasons are that the growth in atmospheric concentrations was within the normal range of year-to-year variations caused by natural processes and, in addition, the ocean did not absorb as much CO2 because of the reduced pressure of CO2 in the air at the ocean’s surface. A second result involved the reduction in nitrogen oxides, which led to a reduction in a short-lived molecule called the hydroxyl radical, which is important in breaking down gases including methane in the atmosphere. Reducing nitrogen oxides is advantageous with respect to air pollution, but they are important for the atmosphere’s ability to cleanse itself of methane. In fact, the drop in nitrogen oxide emissions actually resulted in a small increase of methane in the atmosphere because it was staying there longer. The main lesson learned is that reducing activity in industrial and residential sectors is not a practical solution for cutting emissions. The transition to low-carbon-emitting technology will be necessary. Emission Reductions From Pandemic Had Unexpected Effects on Atmosphere Photo, posted March 22, 2020, courtesy of Greg via Flickr.

Micro-VMs, or micro virtual machines, are hardware-isolated virtual machines created by a microvisor to help ensure secure computing environments. Micro-VMs, or microVMs, are used in micro-virtualization to isolate individual computing tasks that work with data originating from unknown sources. With micro-virtualization, the Xen-based microvisor that creates each microVM is able to isolate these computing tasks from other computing tasks, applications and network systems. Because each micro-VM is isolated from other micro-VMs as well as the operating system itself, a micro-VM that becomes infected by malware will be completely destroyed when the micro-VM shuts down, preventing the malware from being able to corrupt other tasks, apps or the system itself. The hardware-isolated micro-VMs stand in contrast to software sandboxing, which can leave the operating system vulnerable to malware. Micro-VMs are restricted to accessing a minimal set of operating system resources and are unable to interact with other system processes, ensuring security while also limiting potential latency and bottleneck issues. MicroVM Examples and Use in Windows 10 The tasks that micro-VMs handles are the computations that take place within applications as well as within the system kernel, and examples of user tasks that micro-VMs can secure cover everything from accessing a web page to opening a document or spreadsheet to analyzing complex data. The micro-virtualization technology was originally developed by desktop security firm Bromium in 2012 as part of the company’s vSentry product. In July 2015 Bromium announced a partnership with Microsoft to ensure Bromium’s micro-virtualization and micro-VM technology would be integrated in Windows 10 to help make the operating system “the most secure endpoint solution on the market.”

ABSTRACT Different sources of microbial biomass have drawn attention as novel ingredients for aquaculture feeds. In the present study, isotopic measurements were applied to determine the contribution of dietary nitrogen supplied by two sources of microalgal biomass and fish meal, to the growth of shrimp Penaeus vannamei. Microalgae Schizochytrium sp. and Grammatophora sp. were isolated from the Sea of Cortez and massively cultured to obtain sufficient biomass. Experimental diets were formulated with low levels of microalgal biomass replacing 5 and 10% of fish meal nitrogen. Nitrogen stable isotope values were determined in ingredients, diets, and shrimp to estimate the relative contributions of the dietary nitrogen and dry matter supplied by these ingredients to the somatic growth. At the end of a feeding trial, significant differences were observed in mean final weight gain. Dietary nitrogen contributions from microalgae were similar to established dietary proportions, but when estimated on a dry matter basis, nutritional contributions were different for a diet containing 10% of Schizochytrium, which contributed 24% of dry matter to growth. Results demonstrate that low dietary inclusion levels of microalgal biomass elicit similar or higher growth rates than diets based on a fish meal only. Isotopic data indicated that microalgae actually contributed protein to tissue accretion. Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. Facultad de Recursos Naturales.

The Great Barrier Reef, also called the rainforest of the sea, is one of the most complex ecosystems in the world. Located off the shore of Queensland, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef extends over 1,400 miles and contains more than 3,000 individual reefs. The Reef is home to countless sea animals, including 1,500 different species of fish and 400 types of hard coral. Unfortunately, since the late 1980s, the Reef has shrunk and lost about 50% of its original population. The main cause? Coral bleaching. Change in water temperature, a result of climate change, causes corals to get stressed and expel algae. These algae give corals their colorful pigments, so by expelling the algae, the coral is left completely white. Since the 1990s, there have been five widespread bleaching events in the Great Barrier Reef. The most recent was in 2020, striking the northern, central, and southern regions of the Reef. Usually, the peak temperature occurs in late February or early March. However, in December of 2021, scientists found extremely high levels of heat, with the Reef on the verge of mass bleaching. Australia's Plan For The Reef On January 28, 2022, the Australian Government announced a commitment of $1 billion to preserve the Great Barrier Reef. This funding includes the monitoring of the reef, extensive research, and hopefully, effectively stopping the key threats to the reef. However, some speculate that this funding is just a desperate attempt to prevent the reef from being placed on the World Heritage “in danger” list. While scientists appreciate the money, they also criticize the government for failing to take proactive action. They are concerned about the government’s constant support of greenhouse gas emissions and the use of fossil fuels which are the leading causes of climate change. While the funding revolves around water quality, they believe climate change as a whole should be addressed. With luck, scientists and the government, together, can preserve this irreplaceable site of natural beauty before too little is left to save. Sources: BBC, Grist

During labor and delivery, the most desirable position for the birthing process is head down. However, that doesn’t always happen. The baby can end up in breech position when entering the birth canal, causing some complications. When you are pregnant, it is common to feel your baby move around, upside down, sideways, all over. Sometimes you can even make out the head or foot poking at odd angles against your abdomen. It’s cute to watch, but once te delivery gets near, your little one should settle down with its head nicely situated down toward the birth canal. In the weeks immediately before labor, the baby gets ready for delivery. The baby will change position so that he or she can pass through the birth canal. The “head down” position is the way your baby wants to be before delivery day. With the head first, the doctor will be able to clear the airway and nasal passages immediately upon delivery. The term “breech” is used to describe the baby’s position when he or she is not turned head down for delivery. What are the reasons for a breech presentation of a baby? There can be several: There are three different classifications of breech positioning: What to do? An ultrasound alerts your doctor that the baby is in the breech position. If it is confirmed that the baby has not moved into the head down position as you approach full term (at least 37 weeks), the doctor has a few options: Discovering that your baby is in a breech position does not mean that you will necessarily have a difficult labor or a cesarean section. Your doctor will use different methods before labor to correct the breech and will continue to monitor your baby’s position during labor in order to deliver your baby safely to your waiting arms.

The murders George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and so many others, led to protests against police brutality across America’s cities. The country found itself in the midst of a racial reckoning, with mayors challenged to find ways to better address racism and policing in their communities. Boston University’s Initiative on Cities took this issue to 130 mayors from different political backgrounds, and published the findings in their latest 2020 Menino Survey of Mayors on Policing and Protests. The findings include: - A majority of mayors surveyed believe that police treat Black citizens more harshly than white citizens. However, the survey reflected a wide partisan divide. - Almost 40 percent of mayors surveyed do not believe that police violence is a problem in their community. - Very few mayors support shrinking their police budgets, with 8% describing their budgets as too small The 2020 Menino Survey of Mayors details perspectives shared by a representative sample of more than 100 mayors leading U.S. cities with populations of more than 75,000 residents. Now in its seventh year, the Menino Survey is based on live interviews with mayors on their pressing challenges, priorities, and expectations for the future. 2020 Menino Survey: Covid-19 Recovery and the Future of Cities With Covid-19 having major implications across the nation, America’s mayors express concern about the future of their cities in the aftermath of the pandemic. The latest Menino Survey of Mayors brings together a collective insight on what’s needed to help American cities bounce back from Covid-19. The report outlines mayors’ responses to the global pandemic, […]More

2012 Western Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Measured From Space The TRMM satellite has now been making highly accurate measurements of rainfall from space for fifteen years. TRMM can be used to calibrate rainfall estimates from other additional satellites. Those Rainfall data (3B42) are routinely created and stored at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The TRMM-based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center can be used to analyze rainfall over a wide portion of the globe. The TMPA analysis above shows the estimated amount of rain contributed by named tropical cyclones over the western Atlantic in 2012. On average slightly more than 10 named storms occur in the Atlantic Ocean each season so nineteen named storms in 2012 was above normal. Several areas of the western Atlantic suffered from the destructive winds and deadly flooding that accompanied tropical cyclones during the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. The season started with tropical storms Alberto, Beryl and Debby forming near southeastern States. By the end of the season much of the eastern United States from the Louisiana coast through New York had received some rainfall from tropical cyclones. Hurricane Isaac caused deadly flooding along the Gulf coast but also resulted in some drought relief in the Mid-West. Hurricane Sandy was only a category two hurricane but caused numerous deaths and record breaking destruction extending from the Caribbean to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. The highest amounts of rainfall in this analysis were over the Atlantic Ocean northeast of Puerto Rico in an area called the "Hurricane Alley". Warm ocean waters in this area supply the energy to form and sustain hurricanes. Hurricane Nadine, the fifth longest-lived Atlantic hurricane on record, occurred in the a eastern Atlantic Ocean and all of Nadine's rainfall isn't shown in this analysis. The TRMM satellite frequently flew above when Nadine was active from September 11, 2012 to October 4, 2012. Click here to see more TRMM information about rainfall with long lasting Nadine. TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA.

If you live in the U.S., or anywhere else that’s not the U.K. you may not be very familiar with the Chorleywood baking process for bread. And no, it’s not just another name for no-time dough. It is a whole other process, that has some very intriguing points and uses. To get a birds-eye view of the process, I bring Michael Addams onto today’s show. He is the Bakery Science Manager at Campden BRI, a membership-based organization that works with the global baking industry to help problem solve with ingredients and products, answering the questions behind the science of baking. Based in the U.K., the organization is very familiar with the Chorleywood baking process. This dough-making method originated in England after WWII, as bakers needed to find a way to utilize their home-grown soft wheat. So what is the Chorleywood process? Michael explains the key components of this quick-time dough that relies on the mechanical development of gluten. The dough is mixed not to a certain time, but to a certain energy input. A few things we discuss are: - Why is flour type so important to this process? - Why does it rely on a special type of mixer? - Do dough conditioners need to be used? - What all kinds of bread can you make with it? - What are some new advancements? While this method of baking may not be used much around the world, it does offer some interesting points of discussion and insight science behind dough and mixing. So get ready to learn something new! Leave A Comment

Cohoctah Township was originally known as Tuscola Township 1833 Settlers and speculators began purchasing land in Tuscola Township 1857 the name was changed to Bristol Township 1867 the name was changed to its present name It is believed that Cohoctah was the name of a former Native American chief, and means "many trees in water," although no one knows for sure The territory was bought by two types of purchasers; those intending to develop and settle the land and those looking to be investors. 1833 - First settler was a trader named Gilbert W. Prentiss, who made two claims in the NE 1/4 of section 22, totaling 120 acres. 1834 - Second settler and the first permanent resident, was John Sanford from New York. He began what was known as the Sanford Settlement in section 27 (Byron and Chase Lake Road), which was for some time the center of the township's population. 1836 - Three-quarters of the township's acreage was purchased in one year, beginning in May, average size of 146 acres per sale. 1836 - The first surveyor's record of the first regular highway in Cohoctah, from Howell to John Sanford's residence. 1846 - The first grist mill and dam were built on a 40 acre tract of land in the North part of section 36 on Bo-bish-e-nung creek, which at this point had a fall of over 13 feet. About the same time a small store was built, and soon a village began to develop. It was called Chemungville after a county in New York. The post office was called Oak Grove. In the late 1850's or 1860's, the area known as Sprungtown grew up around a steam sawmill near the current Cohoctah Center. Named after a prominent citizen, Isaac Sprung, at its peak Sprungtown contained two stores, two blacksmith shops, about a dozen homes, and a population of 50. It was hoped that the railroad would come to Sprungtown, but was instead built through Tuscola, which was started shortly after Sprungtown. 1874 - The Sprungtown post office was moved to Cohoctah. The other post office in the township remained in Oak Grove.

During the seminar, which took place on September 8, 2021 at Targi Kielce, the development direction of the recoverable BURSZTYN rocket was presented. During the meeting, the topic was presented by dr inż. Adam Okniński, head of the Department of Space Technologies at the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Aviation. BURSZTYN is a rocket with a length of 4.6 m, capable of reaching speeds of 1.3 km / s. According to the announcements, it is to be able to lift loads weighing up to 10 kg to a height of nearly 100 km (at the same time, it will be possible to achieve a higher apogee with a correspondingly smaller load). BURSZTYN consists of three engines: one main and two auxiliary rockets. The side engines are designed to work for at least 6 seconds – using solid propellant for this purpose, they generate a total thrust of 32 kN. The hybrid main engine, on the other hand, is powered by polyethylene burnt in the presence of the above-mentioned 98% hydrogen peroxide. Generates 4 kN of thrust for 40 seconds of operation. As emphasized, it is the use of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant that makes the project unique. H2O2 is an ecological substance, structurally similar to water. It is an oxidant with properties similar to liquid oxygen, although unlike liquid oxygen, it can be stored in a liquid state at room temperature and has better parameters in terms of flight performance. Due to these properties, H2O2 can be stored in the tank for longer periods. Going a bit beyond the AMBER rocket itself, but staying on the topic of engines using highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide, it is worth recalling the words of Dr. Okniński that it would be possible to equip satellites with Polish propulsion solutions based on H2O2. It is expected that the first Polish satellites to use a hydrogen peroxide engine would be Polish ImAging SATelites (PIAST), the recipients of which are the Polish Armed Forces.

Hail Eris Again! In Bob we trust! (Hint: Follow the links above to get your pony!) LOS ANGELES – A distant, icy rock whose discovery shook up the solar system and led to Pluto’s planetary demise has been given a name: Eris. The christening of Eris, named after the Greek goddess of chaos and strife, was announced by the International Astronomical Union on Wednesday. Weeks earlier, the professional astronomers’ group stripped Pluto of its planethood under new controversial guidelines. Since its discovery last year, Eris, which had been known as 2003 UB313, ignited a debate about what constitutes a planet. Astronomers were split over how to classify the object because there was no universal definition. Some argued it should be welcomed as the 10th planet since it was larger than Pluto, but others felt Pluto was not a full-fledged planet. After much bickering, astronomers last month voted to shrink the solar system to eight planets, downgrading Pluto to a “dwarf planet,” a category that also includes Eris and the asteroid Ceres. Eris’ discoverer, Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology, said the name was an obvious choice, calling it “too perfect to resist.” In mythology, Eris caused a quarrel among goddesses that sparked the Trojan War. In real life, Eris forced scientists to define a planet that eventually led to Pluto getting the boot. Soon after Pluto’s dismissal from the planet club, hundreds of scientists circulated a petition protesting the decision. Eris’ moon also received a formal name: Dysnomia, the daughter of Eris known as the spirit of lawlessness. Eris, which measures about 70 miles wider than Pluto, is the farthest known object in the solar system at 9 billion miles away from sun. It is also the third brightest object located in the Kuiper belt, a disc of icy debris beyond the orbit of Neptune. Eris had been without a formal name while astronomers grappled over its status. Brown nicknamed it “Xena” after the fictional warrior princess pending an official designation. He admits the new name will take some getting used to. “It’s a little sad to see Xena go away,” he said.

Raising an individual with a disability presents a different set of obstacles then an abled individual may, but one topic that all parents must address is sexuality. Individuals with disabilities are sexual beings and therefore deserve an education on sexuality. While parents may acknowledge this need, finding resources and strategies to present the information may be more difficult if you are raising an individual who requires a different method of learning. The Sexuality Resource Center for Parents provides a well rounded variety of information pertaining to sexuality. The website includes a section of information labeled “for all parents” that contains subjects they believe are useful for all children. In addition, they provide sections titles “For parents of children of typical development”, “For parents of children with developmental disabilities”, and “For parents of children with physical disabilities”. In each section, you can find a variety of information such as basics, specifics, activities, and additional resources. They also include tip guides! The Sexuality Resource Center for Parents works to provide a better, comprehensive information base for parents to use when addressing sexuality to their child. The variety of knowledge is extremely useful when trying to find information to meet your child’s specific needs. In their own words, their mission statement claims “It’s time to acknowledge that children with developmental disabilities will become adults with sexual feelings, and as such, we must provide them with the information and skills they’ll need to become sexually healthy adults.“

If you’re one of those people who thinks green energy is great and all, but wind turbines are just too noisy and ugly, then we can’t say we totally agree with you. But you’ll approve of a new technology which uses turbines buried within water pipes to generate clean power. They don’t make noise, they don’t ruin horizons, and, most importantly, they seem to actually work. In Portland, Oregon, the city installed four of these pipe turbines along a single water pipe earlier this year, and this week announced that they’re successfully generating enough power for about 150 homes. Portland is the first US city to sign a long-term contract with Lucid Energy, the pipes’ creators. The project cost the city $1.5m to install, but the profits from the energy created and sold to local energy suppliers will be shared between Lucid Energy and the local water bureau. There’s a limit to how environmentally friendly these pipes are, however. As Gregg Semler, Lucid Energy’s CEO, explains in the video below, “all we’re doing is recapturing energy that exists inside these pipelines” – the water has already been pushed down the pipes using traditional sources of energy, which the turbines only recuperate some of. The technology essentially represents a more efficient way to use energy in the water system, rather than a way to bring energy from natural sources into the grid. On the other hand, the water turbines’ lack of contact with nature is also an advantage: energy production isn’t reliant on the weather, and there’s no thread to nearby birds or animals. As Semler also notes, the technology could be installed anywhere (Lucid Energy simply replaces a water pipe with one of their turbine-equipped pipes). And, of course, they’d be a far easier sell for NIMBYs than wind turbines.This article is from the CityMetric archive: some formatting and images may not be present.

In card games, a meld is a set of matching cards, typically three or more, that earn a player points and/or allow them to deplete their hand. Melds typically come in sequences of ascending cards belonging to the same suit known as runs ( ) or sets/groups of cards of identical rank ( ). Other ones may be marriage (e.g. K♥ and Q♥) and bezique (Q♠ and J♦). Melding is typical in games of the rummy family, such as canasta and gin. It is also used in other games such as mahjong. Melds are also made in some trick-taking games, such as pinochle and bezique. - ^ "Card Games: Rummy Games". pagat.com. - ^ Parlett (2008), pp. 489, 496 and 518. - ^ Brown, Seth.

Kids and Mouthguards Today, it is very common that children are involved in some form of sporting activity, from football to dance. Over two million teeth are knocked out every year in the U.S. largely during sporting activities. Wearing a mouthguard could have prevented a lot of those incidents. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, dental injuries are more than 60 times more likely to occur without a mouthguard and sports players have a 1-in-10 chance of sustaining a face or dental injury during a season. A mouthguard is made of soft plastic and is customized to fit tightly around the upper teeth. Although a lot of sports do not require that their athletes were mouthguards during practice or the games, it is recommended that active children still wear one. A mouthguard can save your child from painful injuries. If your child is involved in a high contact sport, you expect to pay for pads, helmets, shinguards or any other protective devices. However, most parents forget about the importance of protecting the mouth because a facial injury can have negative effects on your child, physically and emotionally. The following is a list of what a mouthguard does to protect your child’s teeth: - Absorbs the force of a blow to the lower jaw, which then lowers the risk of concussion - Prevents the risk of injury to the upper front teeth - Protects the teeth and gums of the children that wear removable orthodontic devices. The mouthguard holds them in place so that if the child were to get hit, the device would not block the airway - Lowers the risk of damage to the jaw and teeth when the jaw snaps - Reduces the risk of cuts and bruises to the tongue, lips and cheeks Understanding the risks involved for a child in a sport that does not wear a mouthguard could persuade you into talking with your dentist. Talk to them and see if a mouthguard is right for your child.

NATIONAL AND CULTURAL FEATURES OF THE TOPONYMIC SYSTEM IN NEW ZEALAND ENGLISH RUDN University (RUSSIAN FEDERATION) About this paper: Conference name: 13th International Technology, Education and Development Conference Dates: 11-13 March, 2019 Location: Valencia, Spain Abstract:This paper provides an overview of the toponyms of a relatively new variety of English, New Zealand English. One of the significant influences on the development of New Zealand English has been contact with the Maori language and with Maori cultural traditions. This is reflected in the presence of a large number of Maori words in common use in New Zealand English. The purpose is to analyze the place and role of place names as a source of information about the national culture of New Zealanders. The paper explores the national and cultural, historic, social, economic and political aspects of place naming in New Zealand. New Zealand has two official languages – Maori and English. This has posed challenges for what to show on modern maps, charts, signs and other official documents. Place-names are an important aspect of culture and identity as they provide a location where history, events, landscapes, relationships and people are remembered, celebrated and reinforced. New Zealand had names for all the natural features within their physical environment before European contact. Mountains, rivers, coastlines, beaches, fishing spots, forests and landscapes, battle sites, and places of events associated with the earliest explorers, featured as symbolic representations of indigenous spaces. The article deals with structural, semantic, etymological and linguocultural features of toponymic nominations in New Zealand. It is shown that the choice of a toponym in New Zealand as a carrier of meaningful information is the result of the intertwining of many extralinguistic factors. Keywords: Place names, proper names, New Zealand English, Maori, New Zealand, toponymy, national and cultural feature.

Altissimo Studies for Alto Saxophone Scales, Arpeggios, Trills, and Passages from Selected Works Presently, composers are freely writing for the altissimo register of the saxophone. What was once thought of as a register reserved for virtuosos, performance fluency in the altissimo is absolutely necessary for any aspiring saxophonist. The focus of these studies is not to teach the basics of performing in the altissimo, but to provide practical fingering patterns that will increase speed and fluency. Numerous studies are readily available that provide an introduction to altissimo fingerings, vocal/throat exercises, and patterns. However, many studies often provide numerous pages of scales and patterns that ask little more than to “play up an octave.” Saxophonists, then, are required to choose from an array of possible fingerings, often resulting in an inconsistent or “clumsy” altissimo technique. To complement those study books that provide fingerings, vocal/throat exercises, and patterns, Altissimo Studies provides precise fingerings for each pitch of the included altissimo scales, arpeggios, trills, and passages from the repertoire. These fingering patterns are designed specifically to increase speed and fluency in altissimo performance of the alto saxophone. Title:Altissimo Studies for Alto Saxophone

I think it is totally valid to use asserts in Ruby. But you are mentioning two different things: - xUnit frameworks use assert methods for checking your tests expectations. They are intended to be used in your test code, not in your application code. - Some languages like C, Java or Python, include an assert construction intended to be used inside the code of your programs, to check assumptions you make about their integrity. These checks are built inside the code itself. They are not a test-time utility, but a development-time one. I recently wrote solid_assert: a little Ruby library implementing a Ruby assertion utility and also a post in my blog explaining its motivation. It lets you write expressions in the form: assert some_string != "some value" assert clients.empty?, "Isn't the clients list empty?" invariant "Lists with different sizes?" do one_variable = calculate_some_value other_variable = calculate_some_other_value one_variable > other_variable And they can be deactivated, so invariant get evaluated as empty statements. This let you avoid performance problems in production. But note that The Pragmatic Programmer: from journeyman to master recommends against deactivating them. You should only deactivate them if they really affect the performance. Regarding the answer saying that the idiomatic Ruby way is using a normal raise statement, I think it lacks expressivity. One of the golden rules of assertive programming is not using assertions for normal exception handling. They are two completely different things. If you use the same syntax for the two of them, I think your code will be more obscure. And of course you lose the capability of deactivating them. Some widely-regarded books that dedicate whole sections to assertions and recommend their use: is an article that illustrates well what assertive programming is about and when to use it (it is based in Java, but the concepts apply to any

Feb 12, 2019 Timeless wisdom on controlling anger in personal life and politics from the Roman Stoic philosopher and statesman In his essay “On Anger” (De Ira), the Roman Stoic thinker Seneca (c. 4 BC–65 AD) argues that anger is the most destructive passion: “No plague has cost the human race more dear.” This was proved by his own life, which he barely preserved under one wrathful emperor, Caligula, and lost under a second, Nero. This splendid new translation of essential selections from “On Anger,” presented with an enlightening introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, offers readers a timeless guide to avoiding and managing anger. It vividly illustrates why the emotion is so dangerous and why controlling it would bring vast benefits to individuals and society. Drawing on his great arsenal of rhetoric, including historical examples (especially from Caligula’s horrific reign), anecdotes, quips, and soaring flights of eloquence, Seneca builds his case against anger with mounting intensity. Like a fire-and-brimstone preacher, he paints a grim picture of the moral perils to which anger exposes us, tracing nearly all the world’s evils to this one toxic source. But he then uplifts us with a beatific vision of the alternate path, a path of forgiveness and compassion that resonates with Christian and Buddhist ethics. Seneca’s thoughts on anger have never been more relevant than today, when uncivil discourse has increasingly infected public debate. Whether seeking personal growth or political renewal, readers will find, in Seneca’s wisdom, a valuable antidote to the ills of an angry age. James Romm is the editor and translator of Seneca’s How to Die: An Ancient Guide to the End of Life (Princeton) and the author of Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero (Knopf). He has written for the New York Review of Books and the Wall Street Journal, among other publications. He is the James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Classics at Bard College and lives in Barrytown, New York.

In this video we'll look at how to apply conditional formatting to a table with a formula. Here we have a table that contains employee data. Let's say we want to highlight people in this table who belong to group A. Conditional formatting works well in a table, but you can't use structured references directly when you create the rule. I'll use a helper column to help illustrate. To highlight people in group A using structured references, we'd want to use a formula like this: Translated, this means: the value in the current row of the Group column equals "A". You can see the formula returns TRUE for all rows where the group is A, and FALSE for any other group. However, if I try to use this formula to define a conditional formatting rule, Excel will complain. This is because structured references are not recognized inside a conditional formatting rule. The workaround is to use regular references. In this case, I need to use: F5 equals A, with column F locked. This allows the formula to highlight an entire row. Now I'll use this formula to create the conditional formatting rule. As you can see, the rule correctly highlights employees in group A. Even though we can't use structured references, we still get some benefit from using a table, because Excel will keep track of the table range. If I add some new data to the table, the table expands and Excel automatically extends the conditional formatting rule to cover the entire range. I can verify this by checking the range inside the rule. Next, I'll extend the rule a bit to make the worksheet more interactive. I'll first put an "A inside cell F2, and then edit the formula to refer to F2. That way a user can change the group being highlighted any time they want. Notice Excel uses an absolute reference by default, which is what we need in this case. Back on the worksheet, I can now change the value in F2 to any valid group, and Excel will automatically highlight the relevant rows.

At Rio Responsible Forestry LLC we like to leave as much of the original biomass as we can to leave those nutrients on site. Pile burning and lop are two examples of this, but our favorite is to chip the woody material for a variety of reasons. What is Chipping? Chipping is the shredding or fine cutting of woody material such as logs and branches into wood chips that range from dust sized particles to pieces that are 2 or 3 inches in length and up to half inch in width. This takes a large volume of material and allows us to break it down to take up less volume and keep the material on site by either piling it for use or dispersing it across the landscape. Why Do We Like To Chip? Takes a large volume of material and makes it a relatively small footprint Chips break down over time replenishing top soil with nutrients Creates an ecosystem of bacteria and fungi to decay the wood such as mycelium providing food to soil invertebrates Prevents and slows erosion by taking the impact of the rain rather than the soil, as well as helps the soil retain its position instead of running off with the water Protects the soil from the sun for water retention and allow bacteria and fungi to flourish as well as the trees Beautifies, or "parkify", the landscape by creating uniformity across the soil Whatever the job, we’ve got you covered.

How Hot Does a Coffee Maker Get? Brewing a cup of coffee with a coffee maker requires water to be heated before it can pass through the grounds and be brewed. But how hot does a coffee maker get? A typical coffee maker will heat water between 195-205°F. Why Coffee Maker Temperature is Important Temperature is an important factor when brewing coffee as it affects factors such as: - Grind Size: If the water is too hot, it could over-extract and create a bitter cup. If it is too cool, the grounds may not be fully extracted. - Taste: Too cold or too hot can adversely affect the flavor of the coffee. - Aroma: Too hot and it can burn off the coffee’s natural flavors and fragrances. General Brewing Recommendations For most coffee, it is generally recommended to use water that is around 195-205°F. Lower temperatures will result in weaker coffee, while higher temperatures can scald the coffee, resulting in a bitter taste. If you’re not sure, start at a lower temperature and adjust accordingly. And lastly, when in doubt, it may be best to consult the instructions for your particular coffee maker to determine its exact brewing temperature. To get the best out of your cup of coffee, it is important to pay attention to water temperature. A typical coffee maker will heat water between 195-205°F, which is the optimal temperature range to brew coffee. Knowing general brewing recommendations as well as the instructions for your particular coffee maker can help you make the perfect cup of coffee.

In : import re In : re.findall('python*' , 'pytho') Out: ['pytho'] In : re.findall('python*', 'python') Out: ['python'] In : re.findall('python*', 'pythonnnn') Out: ['pythonnnn'] The python* will match zero or more occurrences n in the text. Let’s say you want to match all the words that starts with P. In : text = 'Python is cool. I practice python everyday.' In : re.findall('p[a-z]* ', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE) Out: ['Python ', 'practice ', 'python '] Here, the pattern says that the word starts with a p followed by any character between a to z and the asterisk quantifier say give me zeros of more repetitions of the characters between a to z. We also used the re.IGNORECASE flag to make the pattern case insensitive. This will match uppercase as well as lowercase characters. In : re.findall('p[a-z]* ', text) Out: ['practice ', 'python '] If you want to match everything that starts with p, you will write. In : re.findall('p.*', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE) Out: ['Python is cool. I practice python everyday.'] The pattern says that the text starts with a p. The dot ( . ) character matches any characters except a newline character and the asterisk quantifier says give me zero or more occurrences of any character except the newline character. How to match an asterisk character ? To match a asterisk character just escape the asterisk with a backslash. In : re.findall('\*', '***python***') Out: ['*', '*', '*', '*', '*', '*']

The Hungarian people originated as nomadic herders in the Eurasian steppes of Siberia. Forged by tribal warfare, westward migration, and numerous invasions of their new homeland in the Carpathian Basin, Hungarians developed a fierce love of independence and freedom. The romanticized figure of the herdsman, and particularly the horseman (csikós)—in his traditional garb of loose-fitting shirt and linen pants, black boots, black vest, and a broad-brimmed hat with a feather tucked in the band—is a national icon, much like the American cowboy. Their saddles have no cinches; to mount, the rider steadies the saddle with downward pressure from his right hand. The csikósok have trained their horses to lie down on command, remaining prone while whips crack directly over their heads, a skill that supposedly originated as training for warfare. They also train their horses to sit like dogs to cast a patch of shade in which the rider can rest. Herdsmen maintained oral traditions with songs and stories about the lonely herding life and the highwaymen who preyed upon travelers, reputedly robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Today, herdsmen’s dances are still performed. These typically involve dancing with sticks or axes and individual displays of wild leaps, fancy footwork, and percussive slapping of boots.

Skills are widely regarded as being necessary for boosting productivity, stimulating innovation, and creating new jobs, while skill mismatches are often cited as being responsible for a lack of dynamism in the labor market. However, heavy investments in technical and vocational training programs are seldom a “silver bullet.” Recent evidence on skill building not only points to the core importance of foundational skills (both cognitive and social) for success in the labor market, but also emphasizes how jobs themselves can lead to learning and shape social competencies that, in turn, ignite innovation and create more jobs. Basic cognitive and social skills are necessary for productive employment, and often acquired early in life. Many technical and social skills can be built and developed through experience in the workplace and lead to sizable returns, especially during formative years in the labor market. Pre-employment and on-the-job training can carry positive returns if they address market failures in the education and training system, are closely combined with work experience, and governed by a flexible and modern institutional structure. More advanced skills can boost job creation by igniting innovation when countries are caught in traps of low skills and low productivity. Pre-employment and on-the-job training alone are unlikely to solve a lack of dynamism in the jobs market. Skill mismatches are most often assumed to originate on the supply side, with education and training systems being tasked to reduce the misfit; but this assumption need not be correct, as the incentives the system reacts to can be the source of the mismatch. Even when skill mismatches are supply-side driven, the technical and vocational training systems in many countries lead to low returns, distance from private sector demand, and inequitable access. Schools and training centers rarely include the formation of social skills as an explicit goal.

THUNDER BAY – The Province of Ontario Ont will send a First Nations and Treaties map to every elementary and high school in the province as a first step towards raising awareness about treaties. The map will help teach students about the significance of treaties and the shared history of First Nations and non-Aboriginal Ontarians. In partnership with First Nation leaders, new school curriculum about treaties is being developed to give students a better understanding of First Nation communities, cultures and perspectives. Ontario will also be working with First Nation partners to look for other opportunities to raise awareness and to better understand different perspectives on treaties and related issues. Working with First Nations is part of the government’s plan that is creating jobs for today and tomorrow and focuses on Ontario’s greatest strengths — its people and strategic partnerships. - A treaty is a negotiated agreement that sets out the rights, responsibilities and relationships of Aboriginal people and the Crown, including the federal and provincial governments. - First Nations and Treaties is the first detailed map of treaties that the Ontario government has published since the 1940s. - Prior to contact with Europeans, First Nations were distinct, independent nations. - The treaties they made with the Crown reflect a mutual commitment to working together on areas of common interest and mutual benefit. Ontario is covered by 46 treaties and other agreements such as land purchases by the Crown signed between 1781 and 1930.

By the second half of the 18th century, the most fashionable beverage throughout British society was tea, completely surpassing the taste for coffee-drinking. This mahogany tea chest contains two gilt-copper tea canisters, which attest to the wide array of tea accoutrements that were being produced domestically for Britain’s fashion-conscious tea drinkers. The canisters were produced at Bilston, an area in South Staffordshire which specialised in the production of caddies, boxes and other recipients painted with enamels in the newly fashionable Rococo style, which arrived from France in the early 1760s. Staffordshire enamels are characterised by flamboyant colours and assymetrical ornament, coupled with gilt scrolls and pastoral scenes often borrowed from French, Italian and Dutch paintings of the time. The lid and base parts of these caddies were made from thin copper sheets pressed into shaped moulds to create their form. The surface of the copper would have been roughened with an acid solution to enable the application of enamels. Base colours such as white or pastel hues were applied, before transfer-printed outlines in black or brown were added to create the scenes. The transfer prints were then enhanced with hand-painted details, and white enamels would have been added in layers to create scrollwork in relief, a technique known as bianco sopra, which can be seen on the pink borders on both caddies. Every coat of applied enamel would have been fired in the kiln to create a hardwearing surface and a lustrous finish.

This Reference Book is based on presentations given by health and safety experts at the CIE/ICNIRP/NIST/USACHPPM Symposium on Measurements of Optical Radiation Hazards, held in Gaithersburg, MD, USA, from 1 to 3 September 1998. It provides an authoritative overview of the science on optical radiation hazards. The articles are written by internationally recognized experts with comprehensive experience in optical radiation research and the assessment of optical radiation hazards. The intend of this publication is to provide guidance on how to measure intense light sources (i.e. UV, visible and infrared) and evaluate the potential hazards to the eye or skin. In addition to measurement, calculations are usually required to compare the measured exposure with optical safety limits. This determines the hazard level of the source. This reference book offers a unique source with which to catch up on the latest developments in this important field. The objective of this "first-of-its-kind" overview is in many respects tutorial, to promote improved, standardized radiometric measurements of optical radiation hazards from ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation sources. In addition, the radiometric assessment of protective measures such as sunscreens, clothing and eye protection will also be covered. To achieve this goal, the first few chapters are devoted to a review of the photobiological basis of human exposure guidelines. The second series of chapters are devoted to the human health guidelines and standards (exposure limits), their rationale and any remaining uncertainties. Then, in the third group of chapters, actual measurements and instrumentation are considered. This reference book is aimed, but not limited to: industrial hygienists, health physicists, optical physicists, photobiologists, safety engineers, and lighting engineers. The volume contains 775 pages, and is softcover-bound.

Paradiso Canto 11 A Franciscan friar and Roman Catholic priest, Francisco Nahoe OFMConv focuses his scholarly efforts primarily on Renaissance rhetoric and Medieval philosophy. His present research and writing projects include work on Anglo-Saxon eschatology, European petrarchismo, and global rhetorics of science. He teaches at Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California. Questions for Reflection - Dante opens this canto by criticizing the human tendency to arrange ourselves in schools of disputation, devoting ourselves to polarizing arguments that divide and alienate us from each other. Why denounce this tendency in a canto dedicated to wisdom and theology? - Why does Thomas Aquinas remind Dante that no human eye can plumb the abyss of divine providence (11.27-30)? Why is awareness of the limits of our knowledge so important for becoming wise? - What was the divine vocation of Dominic and Francis, founders of two mendicant orders (religious orders that take vows of poverty in order to live among the poor and outcast), the Dominicans and the Franciscans (11.34-36)? Why would Dante discuss the mendicants in the heaven of the sun? - Why do you think Dante has Aquinas, a Dominican, tell the life-story of Francis? - (e) Who did Francis love and marry (11.57-75)? How is Francis a model of a martyr (11.100-108)? How does the example of Francis point us toward wisdom? - Fr. Fr. Francisco Nahoe - Zaytuna College - Run Time 15:49

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was an English philosopher, writer, and feminist. She wrote her most important work, a philosophical treatise titled A Vindication of the Right of Woman, in 1792, and was writing a novelistic sequel to it, titled Maria, or The Wrongs of Woman, during her second pregnancy in 1797. She was unable to finish it, for she died in agony eleven days after giving birth to the author we all know as Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. As a tribute, her husband William Godwin wrote Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of The Rights of Woman. Although the details revealed in the memoir led European society to ostracize Wollstonecraft, she is now regarded as a feminist pioneer. William Godwin (1756-1836) was an English political philosopher, journalist and writer. After Wollstonecraft's death, Godwin raised both Fanny Imlay (her first daughter) and Mary Shelley. Constanza Ontaneda was born in India and grew up in Peru, Brazil, Romania, and the United States. She has an MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from New York University and an MA in Publishing from Western Colorado University's Graduate Program in Creative Writing. She chose this as one of two culminating projects.

This evocative poem was written and published in the year of Henry Lawson’s death, 1922. It was probably Henry’s last poem. On the Night Train by Henry Lawson HAVE you seen the bush by moonlight, from the train, go running by? Blackened log and stump and sapling, ghostly trees all dead and dry; Here a patch of glassy water; there a glimpse of mystic sky? Have you heard the still voice calling — yet so warm, and yet so cold: “I’m the Mother-Bush that bore you! Come to me when you are old”? Did you see the Bush below you sweeping darkly to the Range, All unchanged and all unchanging, yet so very old and strange! While you thought in softened anger of the things that did estrange? (Did you hear the Bush a‑calling, when your heart was young and bold: “I’m the Mother-Bush that nursed you; come to me when you are old”?) In the cutting or the tunnel, out of sight of stock or shed, Did you hear the grey Bush calling from the pine-ridge overhead: “You have seen the seas and cities — all is cold to you, or dead — All seems done and all seems told, but the grey-light turns to gold! I’m the Mother-Bush that loves you — come to me now you are old”? Love this it is a song to can you please send me a download so I’ll have this beautiful song at home I didn’t know it was a song, but a quick search has found it on YouTube: http://youtu.be/oEsoz5o6sAg

Desert Dunes | NambiaAerial Namibia’s dunes are considered one of the world’s most beautiful natural wonders, recognised for their distinctive orange colour and towering height, with some reaching up to 300 metres. These dunes are part of the Namib Desert, one of the world’s oldest deserts, and are thought to be around 80 million years old. The dunes are generated by the constant movement of sand, which is moulded by the winds, and the distinctive orange colour is caused by the presence of iron oxide in the sand. The stark difference between the orange dunes and the blue sky and desert makes for a beautiful sight. The dunes are also home to many animals and plants that live in the desert. This makes them a great place to take pictures of wildlife and nature. Visitors can explore the area on foot or by 4×4, admiring the stunning scenery and the dunes’ unique geology. Visiting Namibia’s dunes is a must-see location for anybody who enjoys nature, photography, and outdoor activities; it’s an opportunity to see one of the world’s oldest and most spectacular natural wonders, as well as to feel the immensity and magnificence of the Namib desert.

So it has been quite a while since we have been at Ryerson (almost a year atleast even for the newbies). Intrigued by a thought, I went around asking people that is friends, class fellows and totally random strangers at times, about where they thought Ryerson University got its name from. Unsurprisingly, the most common answer was something like “Umm from that guy whose name ends with Ryerson” or “from the guy who has that statue made for him..Egerton Ryerson?” Upon asking who exactly Egerton Ryerson was, not much came up apart from “some famous person?” and hardly 5% could point out that he was a prominent figure in 19th century Canada who played an important role in the field of education and politics, amongst others. Because of his immense contributions to public education, the institution that is now called Ryerson University was hence named after him at its founding in 1948. An amazingly beautiful portrait of Egerton Ryerson was donated to Ryerson Library’s archives by Chris Maybee Ryerson, the great-great grandson of Egerton himself, at a ceremony held on February 11. Check out the portrait here. While digging up more interesting facts on the history of Ryerson University, I came across this picture .This is how Lake Devo looked like in 1978 when it first opened! Also did you know that in 2001 husband-wife Nelson Mandela and Graa Machel received Ryerson honorary degrees making them the second married couple to have graduated together. Want to know some more cool facts about Ryerson? Check this out.

White light interferometers Light interference occurs when there is a difference in distance traveled by the light from the surface of a target object to a certain point; the white light interferometer uses this phenomenon to measure the surface roughness of a sample. The figure on the right is a structural diagram of an interferometer. The light emitted from the source is separated into reference and measurement beams. While the reference beam is passed through the reference mirror through a beam splitter, the measurement beam is reflected and guided to the sample surface. The passed beam is reflected by the reference mirror to the CCD image sensor and forms an interference pattern. The other beam is reflected off the sample surface, passes the beam splitter, and forms an image through the CCD image sensor. The white light interferometer is designed so that the optical path length from the CCD element to the reference mirror and that from the CCD element to the sample surface are the same. The asperity on the sample surface causes these path lengths to be unequal, which results in forming an interference pattern at the CCD element. The number of lines in the interference pattern is translated to peaks and troughs (heights) on the sample surface.

We have built on 15 years of experience in the manufacture of more than 240,000 electrodes for EDT machines to widen our expertise to another system type with the development of IN electrodes. The unsatisfactory purity and homogeneity of traditional powder metallurgical electrodes on the market often cause problems in texturing. We have identified and solved this problem! IN electrodes are made from high-purity copper of grades E-Cu, SE-Cu or OF-CU. Casting blocks are hot extruded and the precise copper profile is produced through subsequent drawing. This creates a homogeneous structure that is free of air pockets, gas bubbles, slag inclusions and other inhomogeneities. Electrodes produced in powder metallurgical processes are made by pouring copper powder of a particular grain size into a mould and then sintering it at high pressure and high temperature under a protective gas. This is known as HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing). The homogenous structure of IN electrodes reduces the risk of “banding” on the rollers. Uniform combustion is always guaranteed, unlike with traditional powder metallurgical electrodes. 5 good reasons why you should use IN electrodes instead of electrodes produced in powder metallurgical processes: - Longer service life - Fewer electrode changes - Much better conductivity 62% higher - Homogeneous material with no inclusions (bandings) - Uniform combustion of all IN electrodes

Go to article: Production of cacao in tropical America has been severely affected by fungal pathogens causing diseases known as witches' broom (WB, caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa), frosty pod (FP, caused by M. roreri) and black pod (BP, caused by Phytophthora spp.). BP is pan-tropical and causes losses in all producing areas. WB is found in South America and parts of the Caribbean, while FP is found in Central America and parts of South America. Together, these diseases were responsible for over 700 million US dollars in losses in 2001 (4). Commercial cacao production in West Africa and South Asia are not yet affected by WB and FP, but cacao grown in these regions is susceptible to both. With the goal of providing new disease resistant cultivars the USDA-ARS and Mars, Inc. have developed a marker assisted selection (MAS) program. Quantitative trait loci have been identified for resistance to WB, FP, and BP. The potential usefulness of these markers in identifying resistant individuals has been confirmed in an experimental F1 family in Ecuador. Additional keywords:molecular breeding, Theobroma cacao.

3.3.7 Targeted Government Interventions Most political control of the economy is directed towards the whole of the domain being governed, but sometimes governments target a particular area for different treatment if it has a high political profile. The politicians are trying to achieve a specific political effect on the target area, with varying degrees of effectiveness, but all such interventions have adverse economic consequences elsewhere and unintended side-effects. There are four patterns of intervention considered here: ● Governments can intervene to support a specific industry or region (188.8.131.52); this might be effective for a while, but it doesn’t address the underlying reason why the help was needed and it diverts resources from elsewhere in the economy. ● They can apply sanctions or tariffs, or give economic aid, to other countries (184.108.40.206). Such actions vary in their political effectiveness, but they all place a burden on the economy of the country that uses them. ● They can manipulate their decisions to attract political donations from specific individuals or organisations (220.127.116.11). The donors are seeking to benefit by persuading the politicians to distort economic policy, which is undemocratic and is often suboptimal for the economy as a whole. ● A government can strike ad hoc deals with companies, using its power as a bully to get its way (18.104.22.168). This undermines the framework of rules that govern an economy, ultimately increasing the cost of doing business.

Tips To Increase Your Holiday Cyber-Shopping Security Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter MIAMI (CBSMiami) — A few wrong computer clicks could land you in trouble this holiday shopping season. Inter security expert Jeff Barto of Symantec said online shoppers can easily put themselves and their computers at risk, unless they take precautions and avoid five common mistakes that could compromise their security. One easy mistake is shopping online in a public place with Wi-Fi. WATCH David Sutta's report, click here. "If someone can find a way to compromise that connection, they can see what you're doing – and everyone around you," Barto explained. The safest way to shop online is from a home or work computer with a secured internet connection. If you do have to shop on the go, turn off your Wi-Fi and use your cell phone's data network, Barto advises. "They need to encrypt all the voice connections, therefore they encrypt all the data connections, too," he said. Another mistake is using an old version of your browser. The browser is the icon you click on to use the internet, such as Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari to name a few. Most update automatically, but as a precaution go to www.whatbrowser.org to check your browser's version. Another tricky and enticing mistake is clicking on pop-ups or searching the word "cheap." There's a good chance they could steer you to a site without proper security protocols. A fourth perk to protect yourself is checking the https before a web address. Barto said the "s" stands for secure and indicates the webpage is encrypted. While it may not appear on every page of a retailer's website, it should definitely appear on the page where you enter your personal and payment information. Lastly, don't use weak passwords. "It's easy (for a crook) to learn your spouse's name or your pet's name," Barto said. He advises using a strong password with a combination of least ten letters, numbers and symbols. He also advises changing it every 90 days and using a different password on each site. for more features.

Stapes removal or stapedectomy is a rather good procedure, helps removing the stapes bone and improving hearing. Though with enough benefits after the procedure, few patients face adverse issues thus suggest avoiding it. Here I go with a few reasons that speak worth avoiding stapedectomy. However, the technique is not the safest possible way thereby risk is associated along with it! Few patients experience worse after stapedectomy. - Deafness: The procedure could cause complete deafness of the operated ear. - Permanent dizziness: In a few cases, stapedectomy makes a person have permanent dizziness. In some cases, surgery makes an irritative response in the balancing nerve. For a few patients, it takes several weeks for the dizziness to go away. - Ringing or buzzing noise: Though it is performed to remove stapes and improve hearing, it can also cause permanent ringing or buzzing noise around the operated ear. - Facial paralysis: Due to the absence of protective bone on the facial nerve, the stapedectomy procedure can cause facial paralysis. It can paralyze a patient’s facial muscles on the operation side. So, is there any alternative choice for the procedure? - Stapedotomy is a modified version of the stapedectomy which is followed as an alternative method of treatment. Furthermore, many healthcare companies state that the modified version is safer than the earlier one. Stapedotomy reduces postsurgical complications which be could experienced by 5% of patients.

Written by Laurie Halse Anderson Reviewed by Elizabeth H. (age 10) "Matilda, hurry. A funeral is being held at the hill for Polly. And please try to comfort her poor mother." Matilda Cook is like many other 14-year olds. She is always reminding her mother that she can take care of herself. Little does she know that this time will come sooner than later. In the Summer of 1793, when yellow fever strikes, Philadelphia grows smaller each day. When fever takes her mother and grandfather everything changes. Matilda soon learns how to be a survivor. I like this book because it is historical. I love history and it was fun to read about a girl in the late 1700's. I also enjoyed Fever 1793 because even though Matilda lives in the 1700's, kids today can relate to her feelings about growing up and gaining independence. I connected with this book because the main character reminds me of my sister. Both Matilda and my sister are spontaneous and never listen. Fever 1793 is very suspenseful. You never know who is going to survive. I recommend this book to anyone around the age of 10 who enjoys historical fiction. Fever 1793 is also a good book for anyone who enjoys being scared! is a student in Mrs. Salewski's 5th & 6th Grade Class

We are very excited to announce the release of a significant new update to Make A Scape, our structural engineering game. Now live on the App Store, Version 1.1 is packed with new features that improve game play and increase Make A Scape’s power as a teaching tool. In Make A Scape, players use structural engineering principles to help the Sketch People rebuild their destroyed civilisation. We gathered lots of feedback from users of the first release of the game, which has enabled us to build in several major improvements. New features include: - A new ‘undo function’. - Improved recycling functionality – just double tap an element to recycle it and recover its embodied energy. - A new tutorial level which teaches the basic drawing gestures that you use to build structures in Make A Scape. - Better feedback on the results page to help players understand how to improve their structures. - A proving ground where players can place base nodes wherever they like, enabling them to experiment with different structural forms. - The ability to save and reload structures in the proving ground. The proving ground is a significant new addition to Make A Scape because it can act as a ‘sandbox’ in which students can hone their structural analysis skills, and teachers can demonstrate specific principles. Over the next few months Think Up is working with lecturers in five different universities to develop guidance notes on how to use this feature in their teaching. If you would like to get involved then drop us an email, send us a message on Facebook or Tweet us.

The reconstruction was breathtakingly detailed. Image Credit: YouTube / Gibraltar Chronicle Forensic experts have created a detailed reconstruction of a Neolithic woman found in a cave in Gibraltar. Named Calpeia in reference to Gibraltar's classical name, the woman, who was thought to have been in her 30s when she died, was painstakingly recreated over a six-month period by a team led by Gibraltar National Museum Conservator Manuel Jaen. Her remains were discovered buried in a cave in 1996. "We were able to extract DNA from the skull so we know a number of things," said Professor Clive Finlayson. "We know she was a female, we know she had features associated with dark hair/eyes." "And the interesting thing was when we look at her ancestry, 10 per cent of her genes were local Mesolithic hunter gatherers', but 90 per cent of her genes were from Anatolia [modern-day Turkey]." The completed reconstruction was unveiled by Minister for Heritage Dr John Cortes on Sept 10th. "When I saw what you are about to see a few days ago it was breath-taking, congratulations to Manuel for this incredible piece of work," he said. "This young lady, I think she was late 30s early 40s, lived in Gibraltar seven and a half thousand years ago. She was buried in a cave at Europa Point." Please Login or Register to post a comment.

Supporting Healthy Adolescent Brain Development Annie E. Casey Foundation Grant The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) are teaming up to incorporate the latest research from AECF’s report, "The Adolescent Brain: New Research and Its implications for Young People Transitioning from Foster Care," into training curriculum for Child Welfare workers. This report has prompted the development of a grant-based project, with the goal of improving the ability of Child Welfare workers, and social workers who work directly with this population, to increase their understanding of how to support healthy brain development in adolescents in the foster care system. This curriculum will take into consideration that many of these adolescents have experienced a great deal of trauma and have had many obstacles along the way, including multiple placements that result in school disruptions, a lack of connections to others, and having to deal with early parenthood. Based on the available research, we know that the adolescent brain is still developing into the 20s, and many of the everyday decisions that are being made by these teenagers tend to be emotionally based and impulsive, which is appropriate for this stage of development. However, adolescents in foster care do not always have a trusted adult or support system that can offer guidance through these critical and influential years. NASW and the AECF have established an Advisory Committee to start working on a train-the-trainers (TOT) curriculum. Once completed, 25 Child Welfare workers will participate in pilot testing the curriculum-based training. Pre and post tests will be used to gather and analyze the feedback and finalize the curriculum. The projected target date for completion is November 30, 2019. For more information, please refer to the following resources:

Sewage sludge – the raw material for saving fossil fuels Sewage sludge used to be put to primarily agricultural use as fertiliser. A change of legislation in 2017 impeded this. To still process sewage sludge in an ecologically compatible way, it is now incinerated in approved facilities instead. Moreover, sewage sludge can be dessicated and used as granules. We apply this method at some locations, using the surplus energy to save fossil fuels. Why is sewage sludge attractive as fuel? - active climate protection thanks to saving fossil fuels - long-term contracts with local authorities, making the use easy to plan - ensured accumulation of sewage sludge - increase of throughput by decreasing power plant heating value - optimisation of incineration residue - sewage sludge is a supplier of natural phosphor which can be recovered Sustainable energy recovery from sewage sludge Reliable and punctual logistics, in-house desiccation and thermal utilisation facilities: we offer the entire service chain from one source. For our clients, long-term disposal security is a central aspect in waste management. Our concepts accommodate this requirement. - long-term disposal security - sustainable methods We give your sewage sludge a new future through our own facilities and contribute actively to a reduced consumption of fossil fuels. Long-term disposal security for industrial and municipal sewage plants There are many reasons to put your disposal security into our hands: - transparent disposal channels - B+T-owned recycling plants - B+T logistics with special HGV trailers for removal directly from municipal sewage plants - wealth of experience thanks to 3.5 million tons of disposed waste every year - environmentally friendly and cost-effective, through short disposal routes Our state-of-the-art plants are oriented towards an easy-to-process final product. With B+T-owned technology we can process your sewage sludge reliably all year. Our decision-making structures are efficient.

The method of determining the speed limit for a particular roadway is largely determined by the state statute, as well as the MUTCD, TGM and the governing authority for that roadway. In Menomonee Falls, a road could be under the authority of the State of Wisconsin, Waukesha County, Washington County or Menomonee Falls. Most of the residential streets in Menomonee Falls are under the village's jurisdiction with a few exceptions, which are privately owned streets. Determining the Speed Limit The most widely used method for determining an appropriate speed for a roadway is referred to as the 85th percentile method. A midweek study is conducted of vehicle speeds using the familiar road tubes. The results are reviewed to determine what speed 85% of the traffic is traveling. Setting a speed within 5 mph of the 85th percentile is the acceptable practice. This helps to ensure voluntary speed compliance, diminishes the chances for speed disparity collisions (someone going too slow while another is going too fast), and avoids claims of a "speed trap". Other factors that can enter into setting speed limits are crash history, traffic patterns and engineering characteristics of the roadway. With advances in roadway and vehicle design, lowering speed limits has become much more difficult than raising it. However, it is possible to have a speed limit reviewed by calling or emailing the Menomonee Falls Police Department Traffic Unit.

The relationship between planning specific to the system as well as the planning functions in project development is very strong. The top five indicators for projects facing challenge unsuccessfully pertain to lack of user input, incomplete requirements and specification which are attained in the product planning phase, the changing of the requirements and system specifications, the lack of executive support, the technical incompetence as well as lack of project planning. Moreover the improper management of the project at the hand of the project manager also constitutes as one of the main factors leading to project failures. “Whitaker advises that the three most common reasons for project failure are poor project planning, weak business cases, and a lack of top management involvement and support.” (Williams, 2003) The success of systems and IT based projects is very much dependent on the initial phases of product development which pertain to product planning and assessment. The ratio of successful projects pertaining to systems and software is very low. “In a 1994 Scientific American article titled “Software’s Chronic Crisis”, the author identified that for every six new large-scale software systems that are put into production, two others are canceled. Further, the average software development project overshoots its schedule by half, with larger projects doing worse. Seventy-five percent of all large systems are “operating failures” that either do not function as intended or simply are not used at all.” (Williams, 2003) Research has been carried out on the success of projects and the role of project planning, and one such research is by Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement in association with PA Consulting. “According to this study, 38 percent of those surveyed stated that the most common causes of unsuccessful projects are unclear objectives and unclear requirements.” (‘Good Planning Is Halfway to Success’, 2004) These are model essays please place an order for custom essays, research papers, term papers, thesis, dissertation, case studies and book reports.

Posted Jun 2, 2015 by Martin Armstrong The decline in the VELOCITY of money is rather alarming. On the one hand, it reflects the declining liquidity within the marketplace from the rising trend of hoarding money from banks (DEFLATION), as well as the overall socialistic trend as government consumes a greater proportion of the economy GDP. Velocity = GDP / Money Supply, if the Money Supply increases far more rapidly than economic growth (GDP), then VELOCITY will also decline. However, while this should reflect inflation, it also implies a declining GDP relative to the money supply. There is no question that the investment strategy has been shifting more towards the short-term. This is why we see selling the 10-year paper moving to the short-term, even at negative rates. It is possible that the VELOCITY of money will decline during periods of excessive money supply expansion, as in hyperinflation with a contraction in GDP in real terms. This does not appear to be the case presently for we are in a deflationary mode rather than inflation. We do see asset inflation in the high end real estate, art, and collectibles, with interest earnings collapsing, yet the cost of living outside of taxes has not risen overall on the same level of assets. Money supply, also referred to as money stock, classifies the total amount of monetary assets available in an economy at a specific point in time. The definition of M1 money supply is a measure that includes all physical currency, such as cash and checking deposits, and offers the most liquidity. M2 money supply is a measure that includes cash and checking deposits (M1) in addition to “near money”. Near money includes savings deposits, money market mutual funds, and other time deposits that are less liquid than M1 and are not as suitable as exchange mediums, but can be quickly converted into cash or checking deposits. The collapse in the VELOCITY of money is being contributed to by the decline in GDP failing to keep pace with the money supply. Tags: M1, M2, Money Supply, Near Money, Velocity

Blue ocean pedagogical materials, used in over 2,800 universities and in almost every country in the world, go beyond the standard case-based method. Our multimedia cases and interactive exercises are designed to help you build a deeper understanding of key blue ocean strategy concepts, developed by world-renowned professors Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne. CASES BY TOPIC Meta: Facebook’s Pivot to the Metaverse. A Dystopia or Blue Ocean Utopia? Author(s): KIM, W. Chan, MAUBORGNE, Renée, OLENICK, Michael In October 2021, Facebook changed the parent corporation name to Meta and announced plans to build a metaverse, a 3D virtual world for work and fun. This case explores whether Meta’s metaverse is likely to be a blue ocean utopia for people and society at large or some form of dystopia. It is designed to create a lively classroom discussion and dives into issues ranging from the difference between value innovation and technology innovation to the potential danger of Meta, already one of the most powerful companies in the world, expanding its unfettered influence and control even further across its already three billion users. The case challenges students to explore the social, economic, and environmental implications of Meta’s proposed metaverse along with potential business models. The theory and tools of Blue Ocean Strategy are used in the analysis. - Explore Meta’s metaverse and what they might do with their userbase of three billion people and Web3 technology. - Learn the difference between value innovation and technology innovation. - Dive into the pros and cons of the metaverse, including the social, economic, and environmental implications. Will Meta’s proposed metaverse create a blue ocean utopia or dystopia? - Discuss social and economic issues regarding monopolization and Meta’s centralized control vs. a decentralized model of the metaverse.

As high trophic level, non-migratory marine mammals, harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) inhabiting the Strait of Georgia, Juan de Fuca Strait and Puget Sound (collectively referred to as the Salish Sea) in northwestern North America provide an integrated measure of coastal food web contamination. We measured congener-specific polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated diphenylethers (PCDEs) and polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in blubber biopsies from free-ranging harbor seal pups inhabiting four sites in the Salish Sea in 2003. While legacy PCBs dominated the composition of these contaminants in seals at all sites (PCBs > PBDEs > PCDEs > PCNs), PBDEs were noteworthy in that they averaged as much as 59% of total PCB concentrations. We further evaluated temporal trends in seals sampled at one of these sites (Puget Sound) for PCBs and PBDEs between 1984 and 2009, and for PCDEs and PCNs between 1984 and 2003. PBDE concentrations doubled every 3.1 years between 1984 and 2003, but appeared to decline thereafter. Over the course of the 20 years between 1984 and 2003, PCB concentrations had declined by 81%, PCDEs declined by 71%, and PCNs by 98%. Overall, results suggest that regulations and source controls have noticeably reduced inputs of these contaminants to the Salish Sea, consequently reducing the associated health risks to marine wildlife. We estimate the total mass of these contaminants in the 53,000 harbor seals of the Salish Sea in 2009 to be 2.6 kg PCBs and 1.0 kg PBDEs, compared to just trace amounts of the PCDEs and PCNs.

ETFO supports recommendation that Health Canada improve communications regarding safe use of wireless technology 12 Aug, 2014, 17:25 ET TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2014 /CNW/ - The Elementary Teacher's Federation of Ontario (ETFO) supports an Expert Panel recommendation that Health Canada provide the public with more information about radiofrequency energy, and the safe use of wireless technology. "It would make sense for Health Canada to put this recommendation into the context of the classroom, and develop a resource for the safe use of wireless technology in our school communities," said ETFO President Sam Hammond. According to a 2013 national survey by the Canadian Teachers' Federation, more than half of Canadian teachers were concerned about lack of information from school boards to teachers, students and parents about wireless technology. Health Canada is the federal agency responsible for safe exposure limits to the radiofrequency fields that are produced by wireless technology. These exposure limits are set out in Safety Code 6 and applied to industrial, medical and consumer technologies. Ontario school boards refer to Health Canada's Safety Code 6 as the standard for determining the safe use of wireless internet technology in schools. At Health Canada's request, the Expert Panel was convened by the Royal Society of Canada to review proposed revisions to Safety Code 6. In its review released last April, the Expert Panel reported that no additional precautionary measures were needed regarding the exposure limits of Safety Code 6. However the report included a number of recommendations calling for continued research. The Expert Panel Report is currently being reviewed by Health Canada. "We will continue to monitor research, developments and decisions made by standard setters and regulators in Canada and internationally on wireless technology on behalf of our members," added Hammond.

A Great Explanation of How Psilocybin Works – and Easy on the Scientific Terms. Philosophers and mystics have long contemplated the disconcerting notion that the fixed self is an illusion. Neuroscientists now think they can prove it or, at least, help us glimpse this truth with some help from psilocybin, the psychoactive property in magic mushrooms. Researchers around the world are exploring the drug’s transformative power to help people quit smoking; lower violent crime; treat depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder; and trigger lasting spiritual epiphanies in psychologically healthy people, especially when coupled with meditation or contemplative training. There are some limitations to psilocybin studies—they tend to be small, and rely on volunteers willing to take drugs and, thus, open to an alternate experience. But the research could have major implications in an age characterized by widespread anxiety. Psilocybin seems to offer some people a route to an alternate view of reality, in which they shed the limitations of their individual consciousness and embrace a sense of interconnectedness and universality. These trips aren’t temporary, but have transformative psychological effects. Even if we don’t all end up on mushrooms, the studies offer insights on how we might minimize suffering and interpersonal strife and gain a sense of peace. Consider a study of 75 subjects, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology last October. The study concluded that psilocybin leads to mystical experiences that can have long-term psychological benefits in conjunction with meditation training. The greater the drug dosage, the more potent the positive psychological effect was six months later. “Participants showed significant positive changes on longitudinal measures of interpersonal closeness, gratitude, life meaning/purpose, forgiveness, death transcendence, daily spiritual experiences, religious faith and coping,” the study concluded.

- Philistines down here. - Phoenicians up there. The Sea People, OTOH, took to the sea (over a certain window of time we think) about 200 years before the Phoenicians. And while they also colonized, they did not, so far as I know set up long range trade networks the way the Phoenicians would later do. There are no Philistine colonies in Sicily or coastal Tunis like the ones the Phoenicians established later. The Philistines seemed to be content to trade locally, with the Hebrews and the Egyptians and other nearby countries and then go about their business. Again, this is all my recollection from previous reading. If you really need it for something, I’ll have to go confirm it. But that’s my top of the head take. Nope, they’re not. Different people occupying the eastern coast of the Med. The Phoenicians along what is now Lebanon and Syria; the Philistines along what is now Gaza and Israel (and a little Egypt). Same loose confederation of city-state governments, but different languages and ethnicities. I’m still trying to get my head around the idea that Phoenicians and Philistines are not different names for the same people

South Carolina is the next presidential primary (Feb.20) with debates taking place tonight for the Democrats and Saturday for the Republicans. One of the big issues facing the state is hunger, especially among children. According to the latest data from Feeding America, just over 17 percent of the population of South Carolina struggles with hunger. Among children that number goes up to over 25 percent. Several counties have child hunger rates exceeding thirty percent. The Harvest Hope Food Bank says many residents are struggling in poverty, having to make difficult choices between food and other vital services like utilities and education. As the presidential candidates descend on the state, they need to talk about their plans for hunger relief for the poor. They will need to address what safety nets can be deployed to feed the hungry and what solutions can help lift the poor out of poverty. There are many areas to improve in hunger relief. For example, only twenty percent of children in South Carolina who receive free lunches during the school year also receive them during the summer. So that is one of the gaps that has to be closed to help families. What about additional backpack programs with take home rations during the school year to fight hunger? There are many short-term and long-term issues to deal with about hunger in South Carolina and other states. Hunger in America has dramatically escalated largely due to the Great Recession of 2007-2009. There is a long road to recovery and the next President will have to take on this issue.

Virginia Institute of Marine Science The explorers and naturalists who first visited Antarctica were struck by the large numbers of whales, seals and seabirds in such a harsh environment (summarized in Everson, 1977). Scientific expeditions in the twentieth century confirmed these observations, and also established that an even greater abundance of many different trophic levels occurred at the ice edge. Hart (1942) noted that phytoplankton were more abundant near the ice edge mad suggested that there was a distinct ice-edge flora, and Marr (1962) noted that krill (Euphausia superba) were concentrated at the interface between pack ice and open water. Routh (1949) observed that seabirds were very abundant at the ice edge and suggested that the enhancement was due to the high plankton concentrations found in the area. All of these observations suggested that the ice edge played a potentially important role in the ecology of the southern ocean.

What Does Nutrient Doser Mean? A nutrient doser is a system of equipment that helps maintain pH and nutrient levels in a hydroponics system. Some nutrient dosers come equipped to monitor four or more solutions and with probes that measure the reservoir of the fertilizer or other chemicals. This tool initiates automatic dosing at pre-configured levels. An automatic nutrient doser ensures stable chemical levels, prevents overcorrecting, saves on labor, and avoids shocking the plants from a sudden change to their environment. Nutrient dosers promote healthy and steady plant growth. Maximum Yield Explains Nutrient Doser Nutrient dosers work by pulling nutrients into an injector and mixing them with water to produce precise parts per million (ppm) or electrical conductivity (EC) levels. A nutrient doser is usually set up in a garden that has several wall-mounted injectors, with each of them having a tube that runs into a container of raw nutrient. As several parts of a nutrient regimen cannot be premixed due to adverse reactions, nutrient dosers keep all the chemical parts separate until they are fed into the water line. Automatic nutrient dosers help to avoid human errors and in most cases can create higher yields than plants grown through a manual dosing system.

Public health officials continue to discover more about this new virus. Person-to-person spread of the virus is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may also be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes.. This is very similar to how the common cold and influenza are spread. People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic. Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms. How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily. Based upon these facts, people can take these everyday preventative actions to help stop the spread of viruses: - Wash your hands frequently. Wash for 20 seconds with soap and water. Be sure to wash your hands when you come home from public places. If you do not have access to soap & water, use an alcohol-based (at least 60%) hand sanitizer. Use enough sanitizer to thoroughly cover your hands and rub until dry. - Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose with unwashed hands. - Stay home if you are sick. Children should stay home from school or daycare if they are sick. - Cover your cough and sneezes with a tissue. Discard the tissue properly. Wash your hands. If you don’t have a tissue, use the crook of your elbow. Avoid being around sick persons. - If you are sick or have sick household members, frequently disinfect commonly touched surfaces, such as doorknobs and handles, faucet handles, remote controls, tabletops, etc. - Be active every day. - Get plenty of rest. - Eat healthy and nutritious foods. For more information, refer to these guidance pages: - Prevention and Treatment - Community Resources - What to Do if You are Sick - Testing for COVID-19 - What You Can do to Reduce the Spread - Guidance for Businesses and Employees - Guidance for Restaurants - Guidance for Schools and Childcare Centers - Mental Health Considerations

If you were moving even faster, you would be called “vapor”. If you were moving even faster, you would be called “ionized”. Temperature is a measure of speed (kinetic energy). “What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.” Wayne Dyer You are always in motion (even when you sleep). If your mind is moving very slowly, you are called “mindless”. If your mind is moving fast, you are called “mindful”. If your mind is moving even faster, you are called “intelligent”; even faster, “wise”. Everything you sense with your 5 senses is called “matter”. Matter makes up less than 4% of the Universe. 96% of the known Universe is made of dark energy and dark matter. Everything you think and feel is called your “mind”. Your Mind thinks and feels less than 4% of the human interactions you really experience. 96% of what you really experience is blocked from you deliberately and with great purpose by your BRAIN. You have a BRAIN FILTER. It works all the time without your permission. Your brain filter is required to sustain life. If your brain filter breaks or malfunctions, so do YOU. If your brain filter is significantly altered (e.g. a stroke), so are YOU. If you alter your brain filter deliberately you are called “liberated”. You cannot change your filter BUT you can train it. A well-trained brain filter moves very fast. It is hot to the touch. See everything. Touch everything. Hear everything. Taste everything. Smell everything. Feel everything. Thirst for everything.

Just like walls and foundations, the soil at the base of your commercial or industrial structure may need to be stabilized to maximize the life of your building. What is Soil Stabilization? In very basic terms, soil stabilization is simply the process of removing or adding certain soil properties to ensure the most stable environment for your building’s foundation. While there are many ways of doing this, not all soil stabilization methods are equally cost-effective, good for the environment, and good for the life of your industrial structure. Structural Benefits of Soil Stabilization – Bearing Capacity – With the use of cement, line or chemical mixtures in the soil stabilization process, you can simultaneously improve the mechanical properties in the soil and boost your foundation’s bearing capacity all at the same time. – Optimized Moisture – Too much or too little moisture can adversely affect the stability and bearing capacity of your foundation. By using natural or chemically based binding agents, you can optimize soil through a stabilization process that primes the soil for compacting and leveling. – Environmentally Friendly – Most soil stabilization methods are environmentally friendly. Many soil stabilization treatments have been tested and formulated in a way that minimizes or eliminates the environmental impact of the top soil. Soil stabilization is an effective method that helps protect and improve the support underneath your structure. It can even be used to treat sinkholes in the form of grouting or chemical grouting. Big or small, we’ve done it all. Get in touch with Olshan today to get your commercial structure back on solid ground.

When the Nebraska Department of Education released the original draft of Nebraska’s Health Education Standards, we were inspired by the level of commitment to all young people and the opportunity to provide students with the information they need to live full and healthy lives. Today’s announcement to postpone the process of developing life-saving information and to push it farther out of reach for young people is devastating, especially to the young people who have had the courage to speak up in difficult circumstances about the information they want and need. The State Board of Education has the opportunity right now to set the standard for health education in our state that is led by research and expertise and is inclusive of all students. Denying young people a complete and accurate education about their health is an avoidance of responsibility to provide all students the information they need and safe spaces in which to learn. This postponement is also a departure from what scientific research, health education professionals and medical expertise clearly support—comprehensive and inclusive sex education for all students. We urge the State Board of Education to do the right thing for young people by finishing the work they have started and enacting effective health education standards that provide all young people with the information they need to live healthy lives. Call or email the State Board of Education to ask them to support effective health education for Nebraska students now.

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a team of researchers published a study revealing the very important role played by rain in the dissemination of soil bacteria. In Boston, United States, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the famous MIT) offers an explanation for the problems of contamination of plants, animals and humans by pathogenic elements. One element probably plays a very important role in this dispersion of bacteria: it is rain. In the review NatureCommunications, these researchers report their experiments in the laboratory on the effects of the impact of drops on the earth. They thus recreated different forms of rain, falling from different heights on soils of different natures (sand, clay, asphalt, etc.), all loaded with colonies of bacteria. It is then observed that after the impact on the ground, each drop of rain rebounds like an aerosol, breaking into a multitude of droplets which disperse in the surroundings at more or less distant distances depending on the force of the wind. When the raindrop turns into this aerosol, it has already trapped several thousand bacteria which then disperse and are able to survive for more than an hour before reclaiming soil to colonize again. According to these findings by MIT scientists, they estimate that precipitation on a global scale could be responsible for the dispersion of approximately 1 to 25% of all bacteria dispersed from the soil. Thus, this concerns between 10,000 and 800,000 billion billion bacteria per year. The difference depends essentially on the nature of the ground on which the rain fell. For example, a sandy soil is less favorable to a large dispersion of bacteria, the latter having the ability to absorb drops before they reach this “aerosol” stage. The intensity of the shower, but above all the temperature on the ground also have a share of responsibility in the dispersion. According to their analyses, the dispersion is maximum when the temperature is 30°C in light rain. Check out the experience in the video below:

Earth 'unrecognisable' by 2050: experts Population crunch A growing, more affluent population competing for ever scarcer resources could make for an "unrecognisable" world by 2050, warn researchers. The United Nations has predicted the global population will reach seven billion this year, and climb to nine billion by 2050, "with almost all of the growth occurring in poor countries, particularly Africa and South Asia," says John Bongaarts of the non-profit Population Council. To feed all those mouths, "we will need to produce as much food in the next 40 years as we have in the last 8000," says Jason Clay of the World Wildlife Fund at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). "By 2050 we will not have a planet left that is recognisable" if current trends continue, says Clay. John Casterline, director of the Initiative in Population Research at Ohio State University says the swelling population will exacerbate problems, such as resource depletion. But incomes are also expected to rise over the next 40 years - tripling globally and quintupling in developing nations - and add more strain to global food supplies. According to experts, people tend to move up the food chain as their incomes rise, consuming more meat than they might have when they made less money. Previous research shows it takes around 7 kilograms of grain to produce a kilogram of meat, and around 4 kilograms of grain to produce a kilogram of cheese or eggs. "More people, more money, more consumption, but the same planet," says Clay, urging scientists and governments to start making changes now to how food is produced. Population experts, meanwhile, called for more funding for family planning programs to help control the growth in the number of humans, especially in developing nations. "For 20 years, there's been very little investment in family planning, but there's a return of interest now, partly because of the environmental factors like global warming and food prices," says Bongaarts. "We want to minimise population growth, and the only viable way to do that is through more effective family planning," says Casterline.

Gene U Project Update: Complex Traits Curricular Unit Project Update: The Gene U project’s Complex Traits guide for teachers and associated classroom slides are available for free viewing or download from BioEd Online (www.bioedonline.org). Domestic dogs exhibit immense variety in size, shape, coat color and texture, and behavior. This variability is a product of selective breeding by humans, conducted to yield desirable genetic changes or mutations. Today, there are more than 400 distinct breeds of dogs. Complex Traits contains lessons that allow students to investigate and learn about modern genetics using the domestic dog as a model. The following activities are available. Dogs — A Model for Modern Genetics – What is a phylogenetic tree and how does it help determine relationships between dogs and their closest relatives? Genotyping a Mixed Breed Dog – Can genetic testing uncover the origins of a mixed breed dog? How are modern dog breeds related to one another? Mapping a Mutation – What is the genetic code, and what are the effects of small substitutions within the code? Genotypes and Phenotypes – What is the difference between genotype and phenotype, and what process can change a phenotype? Categorizing Hair Types in Dogs – How many genes regulate hair type in dogs? Genetic Testing and Designer Dogs – Do genetic mutations produce desirable characteristics or harmful effects in different dog breeds? Though originally created for middle school students, activities in this guide also may be used with high school students.

In short, because they use 64-bit floats for intermediate values (`double`), whereas D defaults to 80-bit intermediates (`real`). The use of a more precise intermediate value is also indicated by the fact that 0.29999999999999999 is closer to the real answer (error of 1e-17) than 0.30000000000000004 (error of 4e-17). If you explicitly specify to use `double`, then you should get the same answer as C++. double a=.1, b=.2; MSDOS = MicroSoft's Denial Of Service More information about the Digitalmars-d-learn

What You Need In order to create a simple Webcam, you need three things: - A camera of some sort connected to your computer - A piece of software that can grab a frame from the camera periodically - A way to broadcast your images on the Web If you have your own Web server and Web site, you already have a way to post your Webcam images on the Web. At its most basic, a Web server is simply a piece of hardware that has the ability to deliver Web-based content to a Web browser. For some people, their home computer serves as their Web server. If that's the case, a camera, a piece of software and your PC are all that you need. If you want to use a Web server that's hosted elsewhere (for example, if you're paying an ASP to host your Web server), you also need: - The ability to move frames from your computer to the Web server, typically by File Transfer Protocol (FTP). For most Web servers, this is no problem; but occasionally, a hosting company will have policies in place that make this difficult. - A relatively consistent connection between your computer and the Internet. A modem connection to an ISP is fine if it is something that you keep connected most of the time, which implies that you have a dedicated phone line for your computer. If you have something like a cable modem that is connected all the time, that's perfect. If you don't have a Web server or a Web site, and you don't want one, you can simply have someone else maintain your Webcam images. Lots of Webcam software comes complete with Web-based image access. They usually offer different access options, including remote access, which utilizes UDP protocol to transfer your Webcam images directly from your computer to another computer. This can be done: By using this type of service, you avoid having to host and/or maintain your own Web site. If you are using one of these services and you want the image to refresh itself constantly, you need a relatively consistent connection between your computer and the Internet. If your connection is not consistent, it won't hurt anything. It just means that the image won't always be up to date.

The most modern aircraft carrier ever constructed is now under construction after years of delays. Five years after being commissioned into service and 15 years after being given its name, the USS Gerald R. Ford, the Navy's most technologically advanced aircraft carrier,is currently on its first deployment. The quick deployment to the Atlantic is intended to put the systems that caused its debut to be delayed to the test. With eight other nations, the carrier and its strike group will practice. With respect to some of the 23 new technologies it incorporates, the Ford had numerous delays. The Ford is the first carrier to replace its conventional steam-powered catapult system with an electromagnetic one. The new technology is anticipated to enhance flight volume by 33%, extend aircraft life, and handle heavier aircraft, such as advanced drones. According to Capt. Lanzilotta, "on the surface of the sea," this vessel will be "certainly the most powerful warship that our Navy has ever put to sea, possibly any Navy ever." The Ford is also the most costly warship in Navy history according to her $13 billion price tag. The Ford is still a little behind the times despite all of its modern technology. The carrier is not yet equipped to handle the F-35s, the most modern fighter jets.

From 1 to 4 July 2013 EuroClio organised a special Historiana meeting in the Hague within the project EuropeanaCreative – History Education Pilot. The main aim of this meeting was the development of a new “Learning” section on the Historiana website. In this section there will be place for all items related to teaching and learning methods and challenges. It will feature resources such as guides, how to’s and exemplary lesson plans. The most innovative items will however be the Learning Tools. These tools allow teachers to create learning activities for their students online. This brings a whole new experience in the classrooms and on the way history can be taught. Online learning activities can be a very good addition to working with the regular textbooks. In this meeting Historiana editors, the EuroClio Secretariat and the webdevelopers presented their ideas to teachers and historians to get critical feedback on their preliminary sketches. There was also the opportunity to work with sources from the Europeana database to develop some new ideas. Some really creative and inspiring work has been done and it brought new food for thought for both the Historiana team and the webdevelopers. The first prototypes for Learning Tools will be presented in autumn, so don’t throw your books out of the window just yet!

Migrant Photograph Collection (S4963) Mexican-Americans have been migrating to the Red River Valley since the late 1920s, primarily to work on the sugar beet farms during the summer weeding and the fall harvest. Since the introduction of mechanical cultivators and harvesters in the1950s, the need for field labor has declined, but the number of migrants has continued to grow. As a result, many Mexican-Americans have begun to settle permanently in Minnesota and North Dakota towns in the Valley. In 1976, several students in a Latin-American history class began a project to document the activities of migrants in the Moorhead area. These students, under the direction of Dr. Dieter Berninger of Moorhead State University, began a video documentary of migrant life. Although the documentary was never completed, the project did produce 250 black and white photographs, and about eight minutes of video tape concerning migrant families, work in the fields, social services for migrants, and the migrant school program in Moorhead. These are the materials preserved in this collection. The collection consists of 250 black and white photographs, sorted into several categories, and an eight minute color video tape, without sound. Because no notes were preserved, the families and individuals preserved in the photos are not identified. All materials are in excellent condition. - Businesses Frequently Visited by Migrant Workers - Family Practice Center, University of North Dakota - Field Labor - Field Machinery - Hoe Preparation - Home Life - Migrant Service Center - Migrant Summer School, Thomas Edison School, Moorhead, Minnesota - Video (Housed in S4868, Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association)

Sumi, W. C., Woodbridge, M. W., Wei, X., Thornton, S. P., & Roundfield, K. D. (2021). Measuring the impact of trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral group therapy with middle school students. School Mental Health, 1–15. doi: 10.1007/s12310-021-09452-8 This study examines differential effects of the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) program on behavioral and academic outcomes of middle school students. Researchers administered screenings to grade 6 students to assess traumatic stress and then randomized those with elevated levels to the CBITS treatment ( n = 150) or comparison group ( n = 143). Analyses examined the overall impact of CBITS and differential effects among subpopulations of students who reported clinically significant externalizing ( n = 73) or internalizing behavior ( n = 181) at baseline. Results demonstrated that relative to counterparts in the comparison group, externalizers in CBITS reported significantly reduced post-traumatic stress, anxiety, anger, internalizing and externalizing problems, and total behavior problems, and they also significantly improved scores on a standardized literacy assessment at posttest. Students with internalizing behavior problems showed differential academic effects at 1-year follow-up; those in CBITS did significantly better on standardized math tests but significantly worse on a reading subtest than their counterparts. Keywords: Trauma, Middle school, Academic outcomes, Psychosocial outcomes, Internalizing behavior, Externalizing behavior.

Application and Reflection Questions Of all the factors that brought about the administrative disintegration of the Roman West, which do you think was the most important? Why? How did the spread of Christianity and its acceptance by emperors alter Roman society from what it was in earlier antiquity? Should we continue to refer to the Byzantine Empire in this period as the Roman Empire? Why or why not? What marked Zoroastrianism as unique among religious traditions in Late Antiquity? How did religious beliefs serve as both unifying and divisive factors in Late Antiquity? How did religious issues in Aksumite and Himyarite culture affect the development of these societies? How were Aksum and Himyar affected by their relationships with the Byzantines and Sasanians, and what influence did each have on other states? Do you think people were focused more on religion or on politics in Late Antiquity? Why? Why did both the Sasanians and the Byzantines create alliances with Arab tribes in the fifth and sixth centuries CE? In what way did outsiders to the former Roman Empire affect its successors? What role did long-distance trade play in the development of the Palmyra, Kush, and Arab societies?

What happens “inside” a black-hole merger? AEI researchers find a new way to visualize a black-hole merger and shed new light on its interior structure AEI scientists have discovered a new way to visualize and study the merger of black-hole horizons. They show that the well known pair-of-pants picture for event horizons has an analog in quasi-local horizons—the so called marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs)—wherein the two initial MOTSs merge with a highly distorted MOTS that is connected smoothly with the outermost common MOTS. Contrary to previous belief, the horizons do not annihilate in such a MOTS merger but instead continue to exist, start to intersect each other and, surprisingly, even develop self-intersections. We find strong numerical evidence for a new phenomenon in a binary black hole spacetime, namely the merger of marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs). By simulating the head-on collision of two non-spinning unequal mass black holes, we observe that the MOTS associated with the final black hole merges with the two initially disjoint surfaces corresponding to the two initial black holes. This yields a connected sequence of MOTSs interpolating between the initial and final state all the way through the non-linear binary black hole merger process. In addition, we show the existence of a MOTS with self-intersections formed immediately after the merger. This scenario now allows us to track physical quantities (such as mass, angular momentum, higher multipoles, and fluxes) across the merger, which can be potentially compared with the gravitational wave signal in the wave-zone, and with observations by gravitational wave detectors. This also suggests a possibility of proving the Penrose inequality mathematically for generic astrophysical binary back hole configurations.

Submitted by Dr T on February 22, 2011 – 7:11pm There is more to POTS than just a rising heart rate with change of position. It also requires a drop in blood pressure (together called “Orthostatic symptoms”), and is often associated with a lot of other symptoms. In people with POTS, the “autonomic system” seems to be out of balance and blood is not going to the right place at the right time to do what the body needs. To make the diagnosis, a host of other illnesses need to be excluded that include thyroid disease, cardiac disease, medication side effects and anxiety disorders, to name as few. The Autonomic System The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating a multitude of organs and functions throughout the body. Some of these functions include temperature, respiration, heart rate, blood pressure and the digestive tract. A patient experiencing ANS dysregulation may experience abnormalities in the many organs and functions the ANS regulates. Symptoms that may be associated with Autonomic Dysfunction There are a variety of tests that the POTS patient may undergo. Orthostatic symptoms are usually the most debilitating aspect of autonomic dysfunction. and for this reason the blood pressure and heart rate response to upright posture should be the starting point of any evaluation. A Patient may be given various tests to determine how dysautonomia is affecting their heart. Sinus tachycardia commonly occurs in those with POTS. A patient may be asked to wear a Holter monitor to determine if their heart is functioning correctly. Irregular heart rhythms are recorded and then evaluated by a physician. A stress test can be used to determine how exercise might affect the POTS patient. Sometimes an echocardiogram will be performed along with the stress test. This test helps physicians identify abnormalities in the heart’s structure and function. One of the most commonly used techniques for assumption of orthostatic stress is head-upright tilt table testing (TTT). This testing requires specialized equipment, (i.e., a tilt table) and trained technician/physical therapists for proper administration. Hope this helps,

The institute’s namesake, Franciscus Junius, is perhaps not well-known outside the community of scholars interested in Reformed theology of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. So who was Franciscus Junius? Junius Institute director Todd Rester provides a brief overview of Junius’ life and work: François du Jon (1545–1602), Latinized as Franciscus Junius, was a significant Reformed Protestant voice in the era of late sixteenth-century confessionalization. He is perhaps best known as a professor of theology at Leiden University from 1592–1602. Junius was born in Bourges, France, into a family of minor nobility with all of the attendant social and educational advantages of one of such rank. At the age of twelve, Junius matriculated at the academy of Bourges and studied law under the Huguenot jurist, François Douaren (1509–1559) who is recognized as a major voice in articulating the mos gallicus school of applying the fruits of Italian humanism to the legal code of Justinian. Junius also studied under the renowned French humanist, Huguenot, and jurist Hugues Doneau (1527–1591). As Rester also notes, Junius also would later study under Calvin and Beza in Geneva, and Arminius was named Junius’ successor at Leiden. As Rester puts it, “In 1602 upon his death, it was Junius’ chair of theology (and house on the Rapenburg in Leiden together with most of the furniture) that Jacobus Arminius filled after Junius’ death in the plague that struck Leiden.” The Post-Reformation Digital Library includes a host of works by Junius in a variety of fields, as well as links to other sources and studies related to this significant representative of early Reformed orthodoxy.

"As far as Polish‒Jewish relations are concerned, we need to devote at least a few words to the attitude of Jews toward the Poles.… even in their suffering, the Jews remember with deep emotion and gratefulness all the acts of kindness toward them and the helping hand extended to them by each of those Poles.… But, despite this, the insult and humiliation—which shall never be forgotten—no one wishes to remember." (Anonymous, Warsaw Ghetto, 1942) The issue of relations between Jews and Poles during the Holocaust is one of the most complex and emotionally-charged subjects in the research of that era. However, compared to the abundance of studies dealing with the question of the Poles’ involvement in the persecution of the Jews, and the Poles’ responses to the mass murder perpetrated by the Germans on Polish land, very little has been written about how the Jews perceived their Polish milieu during the Holocaust. In her book, Relations between Jews and Poles during the Holocaust: The Jewish Perspective, Professor Havi Dreifuss (Ben-Sasson) traces the changes in how the Polish Jews perceived their environment. Did the Jews of Poland consider their land of birth a partner in the German persecution, or did they view Poland as yet another victim of the murderous Nazi intent? When and why did the prevalent sense of brotherhood that existed at the start of the war end, only to be replaced by harsh feelings of alienation and animosity? What did the Jews write about their Polish neighbors, and in what way did the Jews’ social standing influence their perception of their surroundings? How did the German policy influence the relations that were formed between the Poles and the Jews in occupied Poland? The extensive documentary material upon which Dreifuss based her research—dozens of diaries and hundreds of documents from archives in Israel and abroad—bears testimony to the fact that even under the Nazi regime, which attempted to cut off the Jews from their surroundings, Jews persisted in their contacts—both real and imagined—with Polish society, and constantly attempted to reevaluate the world around them. The diaries and documents portray the Polish Jews’ conscious awareness of their environment, expose a glimpse of the realities of life in Poland, and cast light on several of the factors that directly and indirectly influenced their lives, and ultimately their deaths.

“Who knows if it is for this very moment that you got to this place of power.” וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ אִם לְעֵת כָּזֹאת הִגַּעַתְּ לַמַּלְכוּת With heated elections taking place in both Israel and the United States, as well as the rise of nationalist movements in Europe, we turn to tradition to provide some guidance. We might be surprised to discover how much Torah wisdom is relevant today, despite the fact that the Bible seems to imagine a monarchy. This ICJW Social Justice study series investigates Jewish traditions about government from four perspectives: Unit I: Queen Salome Alexandra: A Model for Good Government A look at Queen Salome Alexandra, 76-67 BCE, and the importance of good governance, checks and balances. Unit 2: Does Jewish Tradition believe in Democracy? If so, do Women have a Voice? Explores Jewish traditions of representative democracy in general and women’s suffrage in particular. Unit 3: Female Leadership. Given the precedents of female leaders in ancient history, why is there a halakhic question about women holding office? How can those concerns be answered? Unit 4: Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State. While some on both ends of the spectrum like to set up an opposition between Jewish and Democratic, they can also be seen as complementary.

The goal of this topic is to give students practice in carefully drawing conclusions about the possible connections between biblical hermeneutics and issues in applied science and technology. Consider beginning class with the desks arranged in a circle. The majority of this session will be spent on an academic dialogue that reflects on the passages studied in the preceding lesson. You can use these questions to focus the discussion: - For each passage, what are the implications on the way we think about the applied scientific developments under investigation? - Are there any reasons for us to hesitate in making this connection between the passages and the applied scientific developments? Are there any ways in which the passage might not clearly or straightforwardly speak to the issues at hand? Is more than one conclusion possible? - What might we need to do to arrive at a clearer, more defensible view? What other passages might be relevant? How would we find them? - What are the similarities and differences between the ways in which the processes of scientific inquiry and biblical hermeneutics push us to be careful about truth? Let students know that they have only explored one simple example of the process of interpretation and that the discipline of biblical interpretation, like the discipline of natural science, can be pursued at greater depth and involves more than what they have practiced. For the debrief: - Bring the dialogue to a conclusion about 15 minutes before the end of the class session. - Allow ten minutes for a debrief. - Spend some of the time on content—correcting erroneous thinking or pointing out logical thinking. - Spend some of the time debriefing virtue—praise students who acted virtuously or bring up moments when students failed to do so. During the last five minutes of class, assign the following writing task: - Pick one specific biblical passage engaged in the preceding lesson and write a personal response in the form of an essay, short story, poem, or other type of writing—feel free to be creative. - In your writing, include a response to the following questions: - How should a Christian respond to this passage when thinking about current developments in applied science and technology? - Why should they respond in this way?

Viruses really are a major method of obtaining damage to the global economy, and antivirus technology is a significant part of a great organization’s system. This software program protects your personal computer against malicious code, which often can harm your individual data click here to investigate and even take your money. Traditional antivirus uses three key detection methods: signatures, heuristics, and action. These detection methods tend to be used in combination with each other. If a file matches the antivirus classification, the malware application quarantines the document. This can be carried out manually or perhaps automatically. Using heuristics, antivirus tools look for noted suspicious data file structures, even though behavior-based diagnosis analyzes the behaviour of an thing to identify if it provides the potential to accomplish an unauthorized action. Next-generation anti virus solutions apply advanced technologies and machine learning. They will learn from goes for as they happen and use the information to stop future activities. Fortunately they are more user friendly and can discover new types of dangers. New spyware detection tools can easily sift through internet activities, attachments, and detachable products to detect new types of spy ware. This means they may be better in identifying dangerous spyware and adware. Another major advancement in anti virus technology is usually the chance to automatically upgrade its repository. This means that users do not have to await patches to be used on their pcs. This makes it better to protect a wide range of devices. It might free up computational resources and make the security process more quickly. Next-generation ant-virus is also in a position to stop many different attack vectors, including web browser hijackers, phishing uses, and advanced persistent risks. It can also secure electronic belongings such as hosting space and databases.
