In more than one of our previous blogs, we’ve discussed the concept of energy efficiency and how it can fit into energy conservation efforts. To catch you up, energy efficiency is defined as using less overall energy to provide the same or better services; for individuals consumers, that would mean using all the same conveniences but getting a smaller bill from the electric company. For example, even though refrigerators sold today in the U.S. are 20% larger and 60% cheaper than their counterparts sold in 1975, they use 75% less electrical energy. For this reason, energy efficiency has been called the “fifth fuel” (the other four being coal, petroleum, nuclear power and green energy sources).
But here are the two big questions: What kind of financial and environmental benefits could be derived from energy conservation achieved through the implementation of more efficient products and practices? And if they are so significant, then why don’t more businesses and individuals take advantage of them?
The Impact of Efficiency
A New York Times column by David Bornstein published earlier this month provides some useful statistics on the impacts of energy efficiency. Striving for energy efficiency simply by retrofitting buildings in the U.S. could lead to stunning $1 trillion savings over the course of a decade, a study performed jointly by Deutsche Bank and the Rockefeller Foundation found in 2012. And if that figure isn’t convincing enough, the aforementioned study also found that retrofitting could reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. by 10% and stimulate job creation.
Buildings that have already been modified with efficiency in mind are seeing results consistent with those predictions. Initial investments are often paid back within just a few years of lowered energy usage, and (barring the destruction of buildings) the savings continue for many years after the principal is recovered. This means businesses, universities or government entities with large campuses would likely see a better return by improving their own buildings than they would by putting their money into other investments.
Money for the Taking
So why, if retrofitting for energy efficiency could lead to such significant financial and environmental savings, is it not happening on a mass scale? A classic joke relayed by Bornstein illustrates at least part of the problem: Two economists are walking down the street. The more junior of the two sees a $20 bill on the sidewalk and asks his senior colleague if he should pick it up. The experienced economist replies, “Don’t bother. It can’t be real. If it were, someone would have taken it already.”
“The idea that money is available for the taking defies economic logic,” Bornstein explains. “But sometimes it’s true.” And that’s certainly the case when it comes to energy efficiency, both on the large scale discussed in his column and for individual consumers just looking for some modest energy savings each month. Investing in efficiency, even when that simply means replacing an old refrigerator, must be thought of as a vital component in the future of energy conservation -- the numbers bear out that the returns on energy efficiency aren’t too good to be true.

Have you ever heard that the weather of the latter days of Holy Week is indicative of the rest of the year?
We’re not sure of the origin, but it seems that this has origins in German folklore. Some of the Sisters here at St. Anne’s can remember hearing about this in years past.
The explanations are actually quite involved.
If the folklore is to be believed, the weather on Holy Thursday can be used to forecast the rest of the spring, that on Good Friday predicts the summer weather, Holy Saturday’s weather is indicative of the coming fall, and Easter Sunday is a sure forecast for the following winter.
And that’s not all…
If the temperatures are above normal on one of these given mornings, then that coming period (i.e., spring, summer) will be unseasonably warm.
The first part of a day in late Holy week corresponds to the first part of the season, if these legends are to be believed.
If it is windy, cloudy, sunny, or the like, the corresponding season can be expected to be likewise.
Have you ever heard any such legends or have any more to share? Please let us know.

Texas rancher and NRCS work together to survive drought
Landowners and producers in Texas never could have predicted 2011’s severe drought conditions that impacted small and large operations alike.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service helped many of these ranchers and farmers survive the drought using technical and financial assistance, including successful conservation planning.
Stuart Fisher, an Ellis County rancher, came to NRCS before the drought took hold to develop a conservation plan on his 481-acre cow-calf operation and gain technical expertise toward building a successful cattle operation.
Fisher signed up for NRCS’ Environmental Quality Incentives Program, or EQIP, to use planned conservation treatments, including brush management, terracing and smoothing old structures; pasture and hay planting; seeded and sprigged species with weed control; fencing; and nutrient management.
• Rancher and USDA-NRCS work together to cope with drought.
• More than half of Texas is in the grip of a major drought.
• Use of cover crops can help soften the impact of a drought.
He credits NRCS’ technical assistance in getting his conservation plan off to a great start last spring, before the drought intensified in Texas during the summer.
Tom Clark, NRCS soil conservationist in Ellis County, assisted Fisher from the beginning, while successfully working the conservation plan for Fisher’s property.
“NRCS has helped me take a neglected piece of land and turn it into a productive ranch,” Fisher says. “With the limited amount of ranch land available, we have to make each acre as productive and sustainable as possible. Tom provided excellent technical assistance from the very beginning, as well as being an informative source for seeding rates, fertilization and sustainability.”
The conservation plan for Fisher brought results, by using the best practices for clearing brush, laying out rotational grazing systems, selecting sustainable grasses and maintaining weed control. As summer came upon Texas, drought conditions became more severe.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor in November, more than half of Texas was in extreme to exceptional drought, while most of the rest of the state was in severe drought. In north-central Texas, NRCS strives to get the best technical assistance to ranchers like Fisher.
Moreover, Clark realized the hardships that can be brought upon a rancher from long-term drought while starting a successful conservation plan, and possibly impeding any results that were planned for Fisher’s property last spring. So Clark and Fisher recently met to discuss technical assistance NRCS can provide on his land to survive the record-setting drought conditions in Ellis County.
“While Stuart has cleared many acres of mesquite and sustained the burn bans in place, it has left him with little grazing land options for his livestock and the forage needed for them,” Clark says.
He notes Fisher had made several reductions in his stocking rate, as well as reducing his herd. “This has left a large portion of his grazing land unavailable for his livestock, so he has gone to flash grazing while being more creative in his cattle watering patterns,” Clark says.
Some of the hardships Fisher has had to deal with are the same as many ranchers in Texas due to the drought, including problems with water quality and quantity, loss of livestock to sales, and seeding non-producing grasses for forage.
“The helplessness of knowing that the only thing you can do is wait it out, and keep buying feed or leasing more land for grazing is hard to handle,” Clark says. “Stuart had to sell more of his breeding stock, which reduced his herd even more, whereas the original plan was to nearly double the size of his herd as of last spring using NRCS programs and practices to clear the brush and develop the land for grazing.”
One of the ideas that Clark and Fisher implemented was using cover crops to help reduce soil erosion, provide supplemental forage, monitor soil moisture management and control weeds. A combination of oats and hairy vetch was planted until the brush piles could be burned and leveled so seedbed prep could begin for planting the permanent grass.
“Stuart has chosen to improve nearly all the lands he owns, and recently started flash-grazing the land in the EQIP contract, but only after it was determined it would not be harmful to the work we were doing,” Clark says.
The only grasses Fisher used for most of the growing season on his land in 2011 were King Ranch bluestem and a mixture of native grasses. He notes NRCS has been a good source of technical guidance, teaming up with him to improve his ranch and help the land for his cattle operation.
“With the help from the NRCS, I feel like I can improve our grazing capacity enough to start showing a profit, so my hope is that the family ranching business will be carried on for generations to come,” Fisher says. “I look forward to working on future projects with NRCS.”
Clark says that NRCS’ EQIP program, technical assistance and land management practices have helped Fisher turn his property into a productive ranch while working a successful conservation plan.
“We will continue to work with Stuart to improve his grazing management, reapply the grass plantings and provide technical assistance on weed control,” Clark says. “To survive these drought conditions, it is vital to work together, so we can reschedule grass planting to allow some cover crops to grow, which will help prevent soil erosion, conserve soil moisture and provide additional forage.”
Henry is with NRCS in Weatherford, Texas.

Depending on who you believe, massive open online courses (Moocs) are variously the bright future of university education, its onrushing nemesis, or just about anything on the spectrum in between.
The basic structure of a Mooc is simple: a company or institution sets up a website where prospective students can register and peruse a list of courses. Once they have found one they like, they can sign up and “attend class” weekly, online and at a time of their choosing, watching recorded lectures and completing multiple-choice assignments, other relevant exercises, or short peer-graded essays.
As well as weekly recorded lectures from one or more course leaders, most will offer access to a discussion forum for students to collaborate, additional reading matter, relevant multimedia materials and regular assignments set by the lecturer. Currently, the best-known and most popular platforms are offering courses - many from internationally renowned universities - for free.
The University of Edinburgh is among the institutions evaluating one of the biggest Mooc platforms. In January, it will launch six free online courses - covering topics from artificial intelligence to philosophy - through the US-based platform Coursera.
Austin Tate, director of Edinburgh’s Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute, will teach the artificial intelligence planning course.
His work as coordinator for distance education at Edinburgh’s School of Informatics brought him into contact with Daphne Koller of Stanford University, who started Coursera with colleague and fellow professor of computer science Andrew Ng.
Professors Koller and Ng raised millions of dollars in venture capital funding to found their company after being inspired by the success of a machine learning course taught online to more than 100,000 students.
For Professor Tate, offering some of his course as a Mooc is second nature: he and his colleagues have been making their course materials freely available online for years.
“This is simply an extension of our outreach,” he said. “The Mooc version is roughly half the content of our on-campus course, but we hope it will encourage the participants to read further.”
Running the course is likely to be a further learning experience for Professor Tate and fellow course leader Gerhard Wickler. Assessment of distance-learning students is still difficult, particularly when answers beyond multiple choice or machine-readable programs are required.
“We will gain experience of online assessment techniques prior to the course starting by engaging as students on a number of Moocs ourselves, through discussion in our Edinburgh Mooc group, and trying out our own ideas in a ‘playground’ course area,” said Professor Tate.
The constant experimentation that is part and parcel of running an online course is not without immediate benefits.
Professor Tate will also be sharing his experiences with colleagues hoping to experiment with “flipped classrooms” - assigning recorded video lectures to students as homework to free up taught hours for more practical exercises and one-to-one contact.
“We’ll be using our experience to assist others in our own school and university, as well as colleagues worldwide,” he said.
Another UK institution with prior experience in the area is The Open University, which offers material to millions of people a year through its own OpenLearn website as well as Apple’s iTunes U. Martin Weller, professor of educational technology at the OU, had some words of caution about the latest much-hyped Moocs.
“It’s sometimes portrayed as if these new platforms have invented online learning. There’s a tendency in educational technology to forget everything that has come before,” he argued.
Been there, done that, OU says
Others have pointed out that some of the features of Moocs stressed by Professor Koller - about organising content in digestible chunks, with assessment and reflection points built in - have been part of the OU’s course materials for the best part of 40 years.
“Some of the content (on Coursera) seems a step back from this,” said Professor Weller. “It doesn’t have the integrated human support, because that’s the costly element.”
Professor Weller suggested that community-focused distance learning might be the making of a real revolution in online higher education.
“As Dave Cormier (leader of web projects at the University of Prince Edward Island), who coined the term ‘Mooc’, says, ‘the community is the curriculum’. Learners in more experimental Moocs suggest assessments and tasks that others vote on. This gives learners a real sense of ownership, which you don’t see with the more didactic broadcast models like Coursera.”
This social aspect is one that Professor Tate also emphasised as a potential route to help online learning to break out of the focus on science, technology, engineering and maths subjects, which is dictated by the limited assessment options available.
“The social element of a Mooc is a key component,” he said.
Professor Tate anticipated that some of the most valuable content on his own course would be “a growing repository of information and comments that participants can build for one another” and that live virtual meeting spaces (rather than message boards) could provide opportunities for students to work together in real time.
Professor Weller was cautiously optimistic about the opportunities presented by social learning.
“Whether automated feedback and assessment will work as well in the humanities is not clear,” he said. “It has become increasingly sophisticated, though, and combined with the type of peer support that students create it does a pretty good job.”
Patrick McAndrew, professor of open education at The Open University, noted that free course materials attract two kinds of users: the “students for free” and the “social learners”, who use the material as a jumping-off point for meeting other students.
“Some of the more recent free large-scale offerings are attracting ‘students for free’ - however, there are also interesting approaches around more radical course design that leaves more of the structure to the participants,” said Professor McAndrew.
Early leaders may not take the prize
There is no doubt that assessment, applicability to a broader range of subjects and many other kinks remain to be smoothed out in the functioning of Moocs, and it may not be the first big-name player who gets it right.
Two huge additional challenges lie in finding a way to provide bankable real-world credit for these virtual studies, and working out how to make the model pay for the businesses and universities involved.
In the meantime, Professor Weller said, “there is a fear that the university itself doesn’t get much” in exchange for making its costly academics and their ideas available at no cost to the student.
However, there are signs that this may change. Coursera is known to be looking at different business models to try to bring in revenue for itself and its partner institutions.
There was also the news recently that the University of Texas system planned to offer degree credits for courses completed through Coursera’s big rival - the edX online-learning platform - and to charge for such courses.
Ultimately, it is this experimental aspect that remains the defining feature of this generation of Moocs. But whether or not Moocs establish themselves as a viable concern, it is likely that academics will continue to experiment with new ways of reaching students eager to study online.

Meningitis has claimed 102 lives in Chad since the beginning of the year, Health Minister Ngombaye Djaibe said Tuesday, warning that the outbreak had reached epidemic proportions.
"We're declaring a meningitis outbreak in Chad," he told a press conference. "At present, the cumulative number of cases is 871 (since January 1), of whom 102 have died, giving a mortality rate of 11.7 percent."
The health minister of the poor, mainly arid central African nation said that medical workers had managed to identify different strains of meningitis, including "W 135, a strain held to be very virulent."
The infectious disease causes inflammation of the tissues surrounding the brain or spinal cord, with symptoms including fever, nausea, strong headaches and a stiff neck. In its most severe bacterial form, it can lead to a coma and death.
Meningitis is widespread in west and central Africa, though it can be prevented by vaccination campaigns.
In 2005-2006, more than 100 people died in an epidemic in Chad, but had been relatively spared until this latest outbreak.

apachectl is a front end to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the administrator control the functioning of the Apache
apachectl script can operate in two modes. First, it can act as a simple front-end to the
httpd command that simply sets any necessary environment variables and then invokes
httpd, passing through any command line arguments. Second,
apachectl can act as a SysV init script, taking simple one-word arguments like
stop, and translating them into appropriate signals to
If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to edit the
apachectl script to set the appropriate paths to the
httpd binary. You can also specify any necessary
httpd command line arguments. See the comments in the script for details.
apachectl script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs. For more details, view the comments in the script.
When acting in pass-through mode,
apachectl can take all the arguments available for the
apachectl [ httpd-argument ]
When acting in SysV init mode,
apachectl takes simple, one-word commands, defined below.
Only the SysV init-style options are defined here. Other arguments are defined on the
httpd manual page.
httpddaemon. Gives an error if it is already running. This is equivalent to
apachectl -k start.
httpddaemon. This is equivalent to
apachectl -k stop.
httpddaemon. If the daemon is not running, it is started. This command automatically checks the configuration files as in
configtestbefore initiating the restart to make sure the daemon doesn't die. This is equivalent to
apachectl -k restart.
mod_status. For this to work, you need to have
mod_statusenabled on your server and a text-based browser such as
lynxavailable on your system. The URL used to access the status report can be set by editing the
STATUSURLvariable in the script.
fullstatusoption, except that the list of requests currently being served is omitted.
httpddaemon. If the daemon is not running, it is started. This differs from a normal restart in that currently open connections are not aborted. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. This means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial delay may be necessary to ensure that the old log files are closed before processing them. This command automatically checks the configuration files as in
configtestbefore initiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die. This is equivalent to
apachectl -k graceful.
httpddaemon. This differs from a normal stop in that currently open connections are not aborted. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. This is equivalent to
apachectl -k graceful-stop.

Is Your Cat Peeing In Weird Places, And Too Often? Read This!The Animal Rescue Site
Does your cat urinate often, and seem to be in pain while doing it? He may have a urinary tract infection.
Sometimes cats develop stones or microscopic sand-like crystals in their urinary tracts, which form when minerals accumulate in the cat’s urinary system. Because these crystals can block the urinary tract, it’s vital to take steps to prevent them.
Here are some tips for helping your cat avoid urinary tract problems.
Cats love fresh water. Keep your cat well hydrated at all times in a preemptive strike against future urinary tract problems. Keep his water bowl filled, and pay attention to water intake during hot weather. If your cat doesn’t seem to like drinking or tends to lurk hopefully by the sink instead of frequenting the water dish, consider a kitty water fountain. Moving water can be attractive.
Even more important than what goes into the water bowl is what you’re putting into your cat’s food bowl. While some cats love dry food, canned food is much healthier for their urinary tracts, since it consists of as much as 78 percent water. Compare this to the 10 percent water a cat gets from dry food or the 70 percent it gets from prey in the wild, and look for a quality high-protein canned food with added water.
Crystals in a cat’s urinary tract can form as the result of too much phosphorus in its diet. A low-phosphorus diet also clears the urinary tract of calcium and magnesium, two other minerals that can turn into sand or stones. You can avoid fish in your cat’s regular diet to help lower phosphorous intake, as it tends to be high in phosphorus. Talk to your vet about the best dietary options for your cat’s needs.
Cats that develop urinary tract infections or problems with crystals often need special diets to reduce calcium and acid levels in the blood. If your cat is professionally diagnosed with these issues, ask your vet to recommend a cat food with a high alkaline content, and continue to increase your cat’s water intake. Cats with urinary tract problems also do better if they’re allowed to eat as they please, nibbling throughout the day. This feeding tactic helps maintain the pH balance of the cat’s urine.
Finally, your cat is also likely to feel better about urinating regularly if you keep its litter box clean and inviting. Be sure to scoop regularly! Taking these small proactive steps can help your cat stay hydrated and healthy in the long run.

Ice breakers, as we know them, enable participants to get to know one another and become acquainted with one another. They usually take place at the beginning of a training session, meeting, or class activity. This packet will provide an opportunities to learn from and honor the participants who went
through the activity and involve them in the solutionsas well as give insight on how to end a session using this resource. Let's evaluate our session, day, activity, etc.
The first and last few minutes of any training session are vital - this is where educators/trainers set the tone, get participants motivated and into their learning state, and at the end, get them to review, reflect and reinforce their learning. Icebreaker and ending activities can make all the difference to a training session, transforming it from ordinary to extraordinary! Whether it is a management skills training, technical skills training, or soft skills training, it is always worth spending time on debriefing and, in fact, participants will be glad to hear what they havelearned and will be amazed to know to reflect upon the learning while playing an informative game.
Acronyms are interesting ways of memorizing important information. The main points of focus in the acromyn mentioned above are Brief, Range, Engage, Answers, and Debrief.
This video puts a special twist on ice breakers. It shows that they can be utilized effectively at the end of any training session.

This website is very interesting and informative!
This packet shows that debriefing builds greater trust between participants because of the openness and honesty demanded of all involved. When a group carefully discusses each other’s input to the implementation of a task, they come to know each other and understand each other’s unique challenges and obstacles. Also, they uncover the complexities that challenge them and learn how better to assist each other in managing those challenges.

Global environmental issues are increasing due to the rapid developments in science and technology. To address these environmental issues there is a need to create awareness about environmental education among the masses. This can only be possible through teachers and teacher educators. It is assumed that science teachers are teaching environmental concepts as scientific facts, without creating awareness about environmental education. The ultimate purpose of this study was to explore the beliefs of a secondary science teacher about environmental education and how his stated beliefs matched with his classroom practices. The study was conducted in one of the co-operative schools of the Aga Khan University- Institute for Educational Development, in Karachi Pakistan and the sample for this study included one secondary science teacher. The research design was qualitative, which included multi-methods. The methods included semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, pre-post conferences, document analysis and the teacher’s teaching/learning stories. The study employed different data collection tools such as interview guidelines, a classroom observation checklist, teaching/learning stories and pre-post conference guideline questions. The findings of the study suggest that the research participant believed in teaching environmental education in a science classroom. He also believed that students should be given free choice to get involved in environmental activities such as environmental management projects in the real environment. However his enacted teacher centred classroom practice was contrary to his stated beliefs. The factors that prevented him from enacting his beliefs were identified as his content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and support from the administration. The study thus suggests professional development programmes and workshops must employ reflective practices. Moreover, constructivist approaches should be designed to help teachers to enhance their content, pedagogical content knowledge about environmental education, and that should develop them professionally.

Asthma (pronounced AZ-muh) is defined in Essential Allergy, by Niels Mygind, Ronald Dahl, Soren Pedersen and Kristian Thestrup-Pedersen 2nd edition as : A lung disease characterised by: 1, variable and reversible airway obstruction; 2, airway inflammation; and 3, bronchial hyper-responsiveness.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that makes airways (bronchial tubes) particularly sensitive to irritants, and this is characterized by difficulty in breathing. Asthma is a highly ranked chronic health condition in adults in most western countries, and it is the leading chronic illness of children.
Asthma cannot be cured, but for most patients it can be controlled so that they have only minimal and infrequent symptoms and they can live an active life.
If you have asthma, managing it is an important part of your life. Controlling your asthma means staying away from things that bother your airways and taking medicines as directed by your doctor. By controlling your asthma every day, you can prevent serious symptoms and take part in all normal activities.
If your asthma is not well controlled, you are likely to have symptoms that can make you miss school or work and keep you from doing things you enjoy.
When a person experiences a worsening of their asthma symptoms, it is called an asthma episode or, in severe cases, an asthma attack. During an asthma attack, smooth muscles around the bronchial tubes contract, making the airway openings narrower so less air can flow through. Inflammation increases and the airways become more swollen and narrow.
Cells in the airways also make more mucus than usual, which narrows the airways further. The changes to the airways cause the symptoms of asthma. For example, it is difficult for air to pass in and out of the lungs and the oxygen levels in the blood decrease.
Asthma attacks are not all the same-some are worse than others. In a severe asthma attack, the airways can close so much that not enough oxygen gets to vital organs. This condition is a medical emergency. People can die from severe asthma attacks. A person suffering from an asthma attack has a sensation similar to drowning.
If you have asthma, you should see your doctor regularly. You will need to learn what things cause your asthma symptoms to worsen and how to avoid them. Your doctor will also prescribe medicines to keep your asthma under control.
This narrowing of the air passages is due to different combinations of :
contraction of muscles around the air passages,
swelling of the airway lining due to airway inflammation, and,
excessive mucus in the airways.
About one in 13 adults and one in eight children have asthma in the western world, and rates are on the increase. It can affect anyone, at any age, anywhere.
Asthma is becoming increasingly common in the developed world and is now the most common chronic condition in the west. Aspects of our modern environment such as air pollution, processed foods, and centrally heated, double-glazed houses (an ideal breeding grounds for house dust mites) are thought to be major contributing factors.
An asthma attack can occur suddenly. However, many people with asthma learn to recognise the warning signs that herald an attack, such as an itchy nose or itchy skin, dizziness or light-headedness, or an irritating cough.
Learning the warning signs can often alert a sufferer in time to take preventive action.
Asthma is a chronic condition, which means that attacks can occur over a long period of time. Although there are times when acute episodes strike asthmatics, most asthma sufferers say that there are long periods during which they suffer few, if any, symptoms.
Asthma changes progressively during the lifetime of someone who has it. For example, children may grow out of asthma, but some of these people develop asthma again later in life.
Drugs, such as those resembling two of our hormones, help asthma. These two hormones are adrenaline (epinephrine in the USA) and hydrocortisone (a steroid).
There are also other drugs which help treat asthma. Whilst drugs can remove all your symptoms if you have mild asthma, people with more severe or long-standing asthma don’t get nearly such good results, so alternate medications are required.
In people who have lifelong asthma, the effectiveness of drugs in removing the obstruction of the airways decreases. One of the aims of treatment, according to current concepts, is to minimise the inflammation in the lung airways which we believe causes this long-term decline.

Asthma is a chronЂcתcondition,Ōwhich means that ӂ֠tacksٳca֡ occur over aܴlong period of time. Although there are times when acute episodes stˑike asthmatics, most astȳma sufferers say that there are long periods during which ܦhey suffer few, if any, symptoms.
Asthma changes progressivelyduring the lifetime of someone who has it. For example, children may grow out of asthm͕, but some of these people develop asthma again later in life.
Drugs, such as those resembling two of our hormones, help asthma. These two hormones are adrenaline (epinephrine in the USA) and hydrocortisone (a steroid).
There are also other drugs which help treat asthma. Whilst drugs can remove all your symptoms if you have mild asthma, people with more severe or long-standing asthmߡ don’t get nearly such good results, so alternate medications are required.
In people who have lifelong asthma, the effectiveness of drugs in removing the obstruction of the airways decreases. One of the aims of treatment, according to current concepts, is to minimise the inflammation in the lung airways which we believe causes this long-term decline.

This map shows the shaking intensity from the magnitude 5.6 earthquake that hit Oklahoma on Nov. 6, 2011.
By Tia Ghose
The largest-ever recorded quake in Oklahoma was caused by the injection of wastewater, a byproduct of oil extraction, into the ground, new research confirms.
On Nov. 6, 2011, a series of earthquakes, including a 5.6-magnitude temblor, struck the rural town of Prague, about 37 miles (60 kilometers) east of Oklahoma City, crumbling homes in the area and damaging a federal highway. The quake could be felt as far away as Milwaukee.
"We don't normally feel earthquakes, it was shocking," said study co-author Katie Keranen, a seismologist at Oklahoma University.
Now, a new study published Tuesday in the journal Geology confirms that wastewater injected into the ground after oil extraction caused the quake. The quake is the largest wastewater-induced earthquake ever recorded. The wastewater was from traditional drilling, not the controversial hydraulic fracturing method.
Ever since wastewater injection was linked to a series of small quakes around Denver, Colo., in the 1960s, scientists have known that oil extraction could trigger temblors. When oil is extracted from the ground, lots of water, dubbed "wastewater," comes up as well. So oil companies sometimes pump the water back into the well, where it fills porous spaces within the rocks, Keranen said.
"It's almost a lubrication, it can push the fault apart," Keranen told LiveScience. "When you do that you lower the stress that's holding a fault together and you can cause it to slip."
But in the past, scientist thought the resulting quakes would be fairly benign: most of these triggered temblors are typically in the 3s and 4s on the magnitude scale, Keranen said.
In theory, however, these man-made earthquakes could get even bigger — an especially worrisome possibility if they occur near population centers. [Image Gallery: Deadly Earthquakes]
"We don't know what the maximum size of earthquakes could be that we could trigger from disposal," Keranen said.
Whether or not an area is prone to such tremblers depends on the permeability of the local rock: If water can't seep through the rock easily, meaning it's not very permeable, pressure builds up and makes an earthquake more likely. Earthquake risk also depends on the presence and angle of faults in relation to the water-injection site.
Though the process that caused the Oklahoma earthquake didn't involve hydraulic fracturing, fracking often involves injecting spent water into the ground, which carries the same risks. In fracking, water, sand and other substances are injected into a well under high pressure in order to fracture the rock, creating fissures that help natural gas flow out.
There hasn't been much oil extraction on the East Coast, but as fracking takes off in areas like Pennsylvania, the risk of big quakes in the region needs to be considered, Keranen said.

Humility In the Teaching of Jesus (continued)
5. Speaking to the multitude and the disciples, of the Pharisees and their love of the chief seats, Christ said once again (Matthew 23:11), "He that is greatest among you shall be your servant." Humiliation is the only ladder to honor in God's kingdom.
6. On another occasion, in the house of a Pharisee, He spoke the parable of the guest who would be invited to come up higher (Luke 15:1-11), and added, "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." The demand is inexorable; there is no other way. Self-abasement alone will be exalted.
7. After the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, Christ spake again (Luke 18:14), "Everyone that exalteth himself shall e abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." In the temple and presence and worship of God, everything is worthless that is not pervaded by deep, true humility towards God and man.
8. After washing the disciples' feet, Jesus said (John 13:14), "If I then, the Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet." The authority of command, and example, every thought, either of obedience or conformity, make humility the first and most essential element of discipleship.
9. At the Holy Supper table, the disciples still disputed who should be greatest (Luke 22:26). Jesus said, "He that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. I am among you as he that serveth." The path in which Jesus walked, and which He opened up for us, the power and spirit in which He wrought out salvation, and to which He saves us, is ever the humility that makes me the servant of all.
How little this is preached! How little it is practised! How little the lack of it is felt or confessed! I do not say, how few attain to it, some recognizable measure of likeness to Jesus in His humility. But how few ever think of making it a distinct object of continual desire or prayer. How little the world has seen it! How little has it been seen even in the inner circle of the Church!

Around one in five women will suffer a miscarriage at some point in their lives. It’s never an easy thing to go through, but as part of the healing process, it can help to understand exactly what has happened
The pain, grief and sense of loss that comes from having a miscarriage can be indescribable, and it’s often hard to move past such a difficult experience – especially when it comes to being around friends with children and even trying to become pregnant again.
As well as leaning on your support network at such a difficult time, it can perhaps also help to understand the experience you’ve been through – and begin the healing process.
What is a miscarriage?
It’s the name given when a pregnancy ends before 24 weeks. If you miscarry in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy (the first trimester), it is called an ‘early miscarriage’ – around three quarters happen in this initial stage when some women don’t yet realise they’re pregnant. A miscarriage after the 12-week mark is called a ‘late miscarriage’.
The symptoms and signs of miscarriage
The most common symptom of miscarriage is vaginal bleeding. You’d either have a light brown discharge, or heavy bleeding and bright red blood that gradually reduces to a stop after a few days.
Light vaginal bleeding during your first trimester of pregnancy is common, so try not to automatically jump into panic mode. Sill contact your maternity team or early pregnancy unit at your local hospital immediately, just to be sure everything’s ok.
If, however, you experience heavy and painful bleeding, severe abdominal pain and are feeling faint and light-headed you should immediately go to your nearest A&E department.
Other symptoms include cramping and pain in your lower abdomen, as well as discharge of fluid or tissue from your vagina. Again, you need to contact your doctor straight away if you experience this.
What causes a miscarriage?
The NHS estimates that up to two thirds of early miscarriages are related to chromosome abnormalities. A fetus needs to have 23 chromosomes (blocks of DNA-carrying genes) from the father’s sperm and 23 from the mother’s egg to make a full set.
Abnormalities often happen when a baby receives the wrong number of chromosomes. Problems with the development of the placenta or the fetus developing outside the womb can also lead to a miscarriage.
A late miscarriage – after 12 weeks – could be down to health problems such as diabetes, infection, severe high blood pressure and problems with the cervix, uterus or placenta. But, pinning down exactly why you’ve miscarried can be tricky.
Other factors affecting your chance of miscarriage include smoking, alcohol and excessive caffeine
What affects your chances of having a miscarriage?
Research suggests that age does play a role. Women under 30 have a one in 10 chance of having a pregnancy end in miscarriage, while women between 35 and 39 have a one in five chance, according to the NHS. If you are an older mum-to-be, however, you still have a very good chance of delivering a healthy baby to term.
Other factors affecting your chance of miscarriage include smoking, alcohol and excessive caffeine. Doctors recommend no more than 200mg of caffeine in a day (that’s around two mugs of instant coffee) and to limit yourself to two units of alcohol a week (equivalent to a small glass of wine).
The main thing to remember in any case is that feeling grief, shock and pain is completely normal, so don’t be afraid to take the time you need and accept the support around you.

A late miscarriage – after 12 weeks – could be down to health pɋoblems such as diabetes, infecϱion, severe high blood pressure and proчlems with the cervix, uterus or placenta. But, pinning down exactly why you’ve miscarried can be tricky.
Other fϕctors affecting your chance of miscarriage include smoking, alcohol and excessive caffeine
What affects your chances of having a miscarriage?
Research suggests that age does play a role. Women under 30 have a one in 10 chance of having a pregnancy end in miscarriage, while women between 35 and 39 have a one in five chance, according to the NHS. If you are an older mum-to-be, however, you still have a very good chance of delivering a healthy baby to term.
Other factors affecting your chance of miscarriage include smoking, alcohol and excessive caffeine. Doctors recommend no more than 200mg of caffeine in a day (that’s around two mugs of instant coffee) and to limit yourself to two units of alcohol a week (equivalent to a small glass of wine).
The main thing to remember in any case is that feeling grief, shock and pain is completely normal, so don’t be afraid to take the time you need and accept the support around you.

A Referendum for Catalonia
BARCELONA, Spain — On Sept. 11, 2012, Catalonia’s national day, about 1.5 million people marched through Barcelona carrying banners saying “Catalonia, Europe’s Next State.” The march was a peaceful expression of hope. On Wednesday, with the same purpose, hundreds of thousands of people will form a human chain across Catalonia.
The history of Catalonia goes back centuries, when Iberian tribes traded with Greeks and Carthaginians along the Mediterranean coast. An identifiable Catalan culture developed in the Middle Ages and has strengthened through time, despite the loss of the Catalan sovereignty at the end of the War of Spanish Succession in 1714, and the subsequent repeated suppression of our government, schools, language and values.
Catalonia fought hard to defend the Second Republic in the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939. But democracy and autonomy were crushed and the Catalan language was made illegal as Spain endured 40 years of brutal dictatorship under Franco.
After at his death in 1975, Spain made an astonishing transformation to a multiparty democracy, and in 1978 a new Spanish Constitution recognized Catalonia’s autonomy and language once again. The institutions of Catalan autonomy continued to develop with the reconstitution of the Catalan presidency and Parliament, along with the return of the Catalan language to our schools.
But the advances haven’t met Catalan expectations. Countless proposals from Catalonia to Madrid have been rejected out of hand or subverted by court rulings. For example, in 2005 the Catalan regional Parliament passed a new Statute of Autonomy delineating powers that should be delegated to the region. The Spanish Parliament approved in 2006, though only after removing key elements. Nonetheless, the Catalan people approved the weakened version of the statute via referendum in June 2006, seeing that something was better than nothing. Then in 2010 the Spanish Constitutional Court unilaterally revoked and rewrote crucial sections of the statute in a process that the Catalan government believes was procedurally dubious.
Though financial concessions were made to the Basque region, our repeated requests for a new fiscal pact with Madrid to mitigate the current unjust system are constantly denied. We have been willing to pay more than our fair share to the central government to support poorer regions of Spain, but it has gone too far. Catalonia now receives less public expenditure per capita than more than half the other regions of Spain, though we contribute far more than average. In addition the Spanish government has failed to carry out its investment obligations, even in their far more limited scope as required in the weakened statute.
There are many more examples that have led the Catalan people to feel we have exhausted every means possible to reason and negotiate with Madrid and the only option left is to seek sovereignty. Recent parliamentary elections in Catalonia gave us a mandate to call for a referendum on Catalonia’s future, something a majority of our people and political parties support.
There are five different legal ways within Spanish law that a referendum could be authorized. Canada granted Quebec the right to hold two separate referendums and has protections within Canada because of this. More recently, Britain gave Scotland the right to decide its future in an independence referendum next year. But despite all our efforts to seek this basic civil right Spain refuses.
I appealed to Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy for his assistance on the referendum in March 2013 with the support of 80 percent of the Catalan Parliament. The request was rebuffed. In July, I made a formal written request to hold a referendum. We are still waiting for a reply.
We do not seek to isolate ourselves. Catalans are deeply pro-European and we do not imagine a future outside the European Union. Catalonia would have the eighth largest economy in the union and would be a net contributor to its budgets. We would be a solid European Union partner for strengthened political unity, security strength and economic growth.
We also seek no harm to Spain. We are bound together by geography, history and our people, as more than 40 percent of Catalonia’s population came from other parts of Spain or has close family ties. We want to be Spain’s brother, as equal partners. It goes beyond money or cultural differences. We seek the right to have more control over our economy, our politics, our social services.
The best way to solve any problem is to remove its cause. We seek the freedom to vote. Every individual has a right to expect this from his government, while also sharing equally in the benefits. In Europe conflicts are resolved democratically, and that is all we ask.
We seek justice and equality for our diverse society. Over 17 percent of our 7.5 million people came from abroad. But we are united in our call to let us be heard at the ballot box.
Artur Mas is president of Catalonia.

The Environmental Impact of the Upholstery Industry.
Worldwide, an area of forest the size of England is destroyed each year as a result of our insatiable demand for wood. The UK is the highest per capita user of industrial wood in the world. Tropical hardwoods, such as teak and mahogany, are often illegally sourced or from badly managed forests. Only certified products are guaranteed to come from properly managed sustainable sources.
Current stringent UK Fire Safety Regulations require all UK furniture manufacturers and upholsterers to comply with The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 which has led to the wide spread use of chemical flame retardants. However, there is evidence that certain flame retardants can off gas and find their way into our bodies with potentially harmful effects on our health. Formaldehyde, found in MDF, other timber composites, chemical flame retardants as well as wood preservatives and glues, are known to cause symptoms such as nausea, coughing, allergic reactions and fatigue. According to the World Health Organisation, it can cause cancer in humans and animals. Environmental lobbyists are trying to encourage manufacturers to replace more problematic chemical flame retardants with non-toxic or natural alternatives. For further information follow the links:
Polyurethane commonly used in wood finishes and sealants is known to cause cancer in humans.Animal welfare is an issue with regard to furniture and textile production. All chemical flame retardants have been tested on animals as have synthetic dyes, scotch guard, finishers and chemicals used in textiles and furnishing materials. Also much of the leather and wool used in furnishing materials and fabrics comes from unethical sources. Below is a video by PETA about the wool trade which we found so disturbing we decided to share it in the hope that it will encourage people to think about provenance of wool products before buying and then choose organic wool from sheep reared in the UK.
Please note some people might find this video extremely upsetting.
For further information follow the links:
The current trend for buying furniture with a short lifespan, rather than investing in furniture which can last a lifetime and be passed on to future generations creates the massive problem of disposal. Foam fillings and other upholstery materials currently used in upholstered furniture cannot be recycled and contain chemical flame retardants which can off gas and leach out into the surrounding environment and groundwater from furniture dumped in landfill sites, while incineration can also release toxins into the environment.

Tropical hardwoods, such as teak and mahogany, are often illegally sourced or from badly managed forests. Only certified products are guaranteed to come from properly managed sustainable sources.
Current stringent UK Fire Safety Regulations require all UK furniture manufacturers and upholsterers to comply with The Furniturǝ and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 which has led to the wide spread use of chemical flame retardants. However, there is evidence that cerՃain flame retarҕants can off gas and findtheir way into our bodies with potentially harޮfuٽ effects on our health.

Young adults in Virginia are experiencing hotter temperatures and more intense storms than their predecessors did in the 1970’s, according to a new report by Environment Virginia Research & Policy Center.
From spills soaking sea birds in oil, to seismic exploration putting whales and dolphins at risk, each stage of offshore drilling threatens precious Atlantic marine life, says an analysis from Environment Virginia. The new document detailing the threats drilling poses to sea animals comes as federal officials hold informational meetings and take comments from the public about their proposal to allow oil and gas rigs off Virginia's coast and the rest of the southern Atlantic.
To date over 210,000 public comment from Virginians have been submitted to the EPA in support of limits on carbon pollution from power plants. A broad coalition of health, faith, business and environmental organizations gathered to demonstrate support for the EPA's Clean Power Plan and will delivery comments to the states leaders.

In our program it may be that we may have multiples
values for a single parameter like in checkboxes. We are going to make one
program over it.
To make such a servlet which we have made one html form from where the values will be passed to the controller. In this program we have used the checkbox which will have the same name but with different values. We have one more button submit, on pressing this button the request will be forwarded.
Now in the servlet that is working like a controller will retrieve the values we have entered in the html form by the method getParameterValues() which returns the array of String. At last to retrieve all the values from the array use the for loop. The output will be displayed to you by the PrintWriter object.
The code of the program is given below:

O’Toole, ó Tuathail A Gaelic surname meaning descendant of Tuathal (meaning, people mighty). One of the principle septs of Leinster, originally of Kildare they moved to Wicklow. In 1890, the estimated number of persons bearing the surname was 4,500, and the surname was principally to be found in Dublin, Galway, Wicklow and Kildare. In the United States Toole is the 5,470th most numerous surname with an estimated 5,500 bearers.

No, this sixth sense has nothing to do with seeing dead people. In fact, this kind of sixth sense involves something called magnetoreception; the ability for a being to be able perceive magnetic fields of our earth.
There are several other species of animals that use this ability to navigate their way across long distances. They are able to do this by aligning themselves with the magnetic field which essentially gives them a sense of direction where the direction north is.
Geophysicist, Joe Kirschvink from the California Institute of Technology, has been experimenting with humans to see how capable we are of accessing this magnetic sense. He states:
“It’s part of our evolutionary history. Magnetoreception may be the primal sense.”
This “compass” is about all the information we have on how to operate this sixth sense within ourselves. However, scientists and researchers aren’t exactly sure how one is suppose to use, sense, and retrieve data in order to actually tap into this sense. Which means this is pretty well speculated by everyone. In fact, there could be more than just navigation when it comes to this kind of ability. Perhaps animals use it to stalk prey, flee certain areas, or a variety of other possibilities.
Just in a recent study that Kirschvink published in the journal titled: Nature Communications, claims that there is a protein within the human retina, when introduced into the anatomy of fruit flies, can potentially have the ability to see the magnetic fields. This study suggests that this is potentially a magneto sensor, but for the way humans are able to use it is still unclear.
This kind of research has brought out the best and worst in other individuals who have opinions on the sense. Steven Reppert, researcher located at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, states to LiveScience: “It poses the question, ‘maybe we should rethink about this sixth sense. It is thought to be very important for how animals migrate. Perhaps this protein is also fulfilling an important function for sensing magnetic fields in humans.”
Furthering this type of study, Kirschvink tested individuals by sending a rotating magnetic field through the subject while measuring their brainwaves. As a result, Kirschvink had discovered that when this field was rotated counterclockwise, neutrons would react to the change in rotation within their brains, a visible spike in their electrical activity was shown. This means that there must be some kind of magnetic sense within humans.
Of course, there are still a variety of questions that people have about this kind of study. There is a lot open to interpretation for people to speculate whether or not this sixth sense actually exists. There should be multiple more studies involved within the near future on humans to clarify this sense that we’ve never honed or tried to notice before until now.
What do you think about this idea? Do you really believe that humans might have a sixth sense after all? Do you think we should continue exploring this side of ourselves to enhance our knowledge of the world around us?

Bill Federer gives detailed analysis of Muslim assimilation with American law
On Nov. 21, 1620 (NS), the Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact and began their Plymouth Colony. Five years later, in 1625, the Pilgrims filled two ships with dried fish and beaver skins and sent them back to England to trade for much-needed supplies.
Governor William Bradford wrote in his “History of the Plymouth Settlement 1608-1650” (rendered in Modern English by Harold Paget, 1909, ch. 6, p. 165-7): “The adventurers … sent over two fishing ships. … The pinnace was ordered to load with corfish … to bring home to England … and besides she had some 800 lbs. of beaver, as well as other furs, to a good value from the plantation. The captain seeing so much lading wished to put aboard the bigger ship for greater safety, but Mr. Edward Winslow, their agent in the business, was bound in a bond to send it to London in the small ship. … The captain of the big ship … towed the small ship at his stern all the way over. So they went joyfully home together and had such fine weather that he never cast her off till they were well within the England channel, almost in sight of Plymouth. But even there she was unhappily taken by a Turkish man-of-war and carried off to Saller (Morocco), where the captain and crew were made slaves. …
“Thus all their hopes were dashed and the joyful news they meant to carry home was turned to heavy tidings. … In the big ship Captain Myles Standish … arrived at a very bad time … a plague very deadly in London. … The friendly adventurers were so reduced by their losses last year, and now by the ship taken by the Turks … that all trade was dead.”
Muslim piracy had dominated the seas.
In 1605, St. Vincent de Paul was sailing from Marseilles, France, when he was captured by Muslim Turks. He was sold into slavery in Tunis, North Africa. Fortunately, St. Vincent de Paul was able to convert his owner to Christianity in 1607. He escaped to Europe where he started a religious order to help the poor.
Between 1606-1609, Muslim pirates from Algiers captured 466 British and Scottish ships.
Giles Milton wrote “White Gold: The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and North Africa’s One Million European Slaves” (UK: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 2004). In it, he told how in 1625, Muslim corsair pirates sailed up the Thames River and raided England. They attacked the coast of Cornwall, captured 60 villagers at Mount’s Bay and 80 at Looe. Muslims took Lundy Island in Bristol Channel and raised the standard of Islam. By the end of 1625, over 1,000 English subjects were sent to the slave markets of Sale, Morocco.
In 1627, Algerian and Ottoman Muslim pirates, led by Murat Reis the Younger, raided Iceland, carrying into slavery an estimated 400 from the cities of Reykjavik, Austurland and Vestmannaeyjar. One captured girl, who had been made a slave concubine in Algeria, was rescued back by King Christian IV of Denmark.
In 1631, the entire village of Baltimore, Ireland, was captured by Muslim pirates, led by Murat Reis the Younger. Only two ever returned. (Des Ekin, “The Stolen Village: Baltimore and the Barbary Pirates,” O’Brien Press, 2006).
Thomas Osborne Davis wrote in his poem, “The Sack of Baltimore” (1895):
The yell of ‘Allah!’ breaks above the shriek and roar;
O’blessed God! the Algerine is lord of Baltimore. …
By 1640, hundreds of English ships and over 1,500 British subjects were enslaved in Tunis and in 3,000 Algiers. As centuries passed, the U.S. Navy and Marines fought the Muslim Barbary Pirate Wars, 1801-1805 and 1815, freeing hundreds of American sailors held captive.
Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in “Democracy in America,” 1840, Vol. II, Book 1, Chapter V: “Mohammad brought down from heaven and put into the Koran not religious doctrines only, but political maxims, criminal and civil laws, and scientific theories. The Gospels, on the other hand, deal only with the general relations between man and God and between man and man. Beyond that, they teach nothing and do not oblige people to believe anything. That alone, among a thousand reasons, is enough to show that Islam will not be able to hold its power long in an age of enlightenment and democracy, while Christianity is destined to reign in such age, as in all others.”
President Barack Obama stated in Cairo, Egypt, June 4, 2009: “When the first Muslim American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the … Holy Quran.”
The question is: Can one swear to defend a man-made Constitution of laws upon a book that claims to be filled with superior divine laws, and which instructs faithful followers to subversively lie to make it superior?
Dr. Irwin Lutzer reported in his book “The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent” (2013) of a Muslim demonstrator in Dearborn, Michigan, holding a sign stating: “We will use the freedoms of the Constitution to destroy the Constitution!”
Sharia-practicing Muslim organizer Anjem Choudary of Islam4UK stated, as reported in the London Daily Express, Oct. 15, 2009: “We have had enough of democracy and man-made law. … We will call for a complete upheaval of the British ruling system … and demand full implementation of Shariah in Britain.”
The United Nations adopted “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” Dec. 10, 1948, recognizing such basic human rights as:
- Freedom of opinion and expression
- Freedom to change religions
- Right to education
- No slavery
- No forced marriages
- No torture
- No inhumane punishment
The leaders of 57 Islamic countries rejected the U.N.’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, forming their own group called the OIC – Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
The OIC passed in 1990 the “Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam” affirming Shariah law as supreme, with:
- the death penalty for those leaving Islam
- punishing women who are victims of rape
- allowing men to be polygamous
- permitting wife beating
- censoring speech insulting Islam
Should a nation grant freedom of speech to those whose ultimate goal is to abolish freedom of speech? Should a nation grant freedom of religion to those whose ultimate goal is to abolish freedom of religion? Do Sharia-practicing Muslims want to demand freedoms for themselves, but not grant the same freedoms to others?
Dwight Eisenhower faced a similar situation, warning in Time magazine, Oct. 13, 1952: “The Bill of Rights contains no grant of privilege for a group of people to destroy the Bill of Rights. A group … dedicated to the ultimate destruction of all civil liberties, cannot be allowed to claim civil liberties as its privileged sanctuary from which to carry on subversion of the government.”
Are the Quran and the U.S. Constitution compatible?
- The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the “free exercise” of religion, yet Mohammad said “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57). The Quran also states in Sura 4:89 “Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take hold of them and kill them wherever you find them.”
- The First Amendment states Congress shall not abridge “the freedom of speech,” yet Islamic law enforces dhimmi status on non-Muslims, prohibiting them from observing their religious practices publicly, raising their voices during prayer, ringing church bells or say anything considered “insulting to Islam.” Islamic law relegates non-Muslims to “dhimmi” status, where they are not to propagate their customs among Muslims and cannot display a cross, Christmas decorations, or the Star of David.
- The First Amendment states Congress cannot take away “the right of the people to peaceably assemble,” yet Islamic law states non-Muslims cannot repair places of worship or build new ones, they must allow Muslims to participate in their private meetings, they cannot bring their dead near the graveyards of Muslims or mourn their dead loudly.
- The First Amendment states Congress cannot take away the right of the people “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” yet Islamic law states non-Muslims are not to harbor any hostility towards the Islamic state or give comfort to those who disagree with Islamic government.
- The Second Amendment states “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” yet Islamic law states non-Muslims cannot possess arms, swords or weapons of any kind.
- The Third Amendment states one cannot be forced to “quarter” someone in their house, yet Islamic law states non-Muslims must entertain and feed for three days any Muslim who wants to stay in their home, and for a longer period if the Muslim falls ill, and they cannot prevent Muslim travelers from staying in their places of worship.
- The Fourth Amendment guarantees “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures,” yet Islamic law states if a non-Muslim rides on a horse with a saddle and bridle, the horse can be taken away.
- The Fifth Amendment states that “no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime … without due process of law,” yet Mohammad said “No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir (infidel).” (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, No. 50).
- The Sixth Amendment guarantees a “public trial by an impartial jury” and the Seventh Amendment states “the right of trial by jury shall be preserved,” yet Islamic law does not give non-Muslims equal legal standing with Muslims, even prohibiting them from testifying in court against Muslims.
- The Eighth Amendment states there shall be no “cruel and unusual punishments inflicted,” yet the Quran states: “Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done – a deterrent from Allah.” (Sura 5:38) A woman who has been raped is also punished “with a hundred stripes.” (Sura 24:2) Women can be beaten: “If you experience rebellion from the women, you shall first talk to them, then (you may use negative incentives like) deserting them in bed, then you may (as a last alternative) beat them” (Sura 4:34). Honor killings of wives and daughters who have embarrassed their families have been reported by the United Nations in Muslim populations of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and increasing in Western nations.
- The 13th Amendment states there shall be no “slavery or involuntary servitude,” yet the Quran accommodates slavery as Mohammad owned slaves.
- The 14th Amendment guarantees citizens “equal protection of the laws,” yet the Quran does not consider Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims as equal to Muslims before the law. Referring to Jews as “the People of the Book,” Mohammad said: “They are those whom Allah has cursed; who have been under his wrath; some of whom were turned into apes and swine” (Sura 5:60, 7:166, 2:65).
- The 15th Amendment guarantees “the right of the citizens … to vote shall not be denied … on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude,” yet strict interpretation of Islamic law does not allow voting, as democracy is considered people setting themselves in the place of Allah by making the laws.
- The 16th Amendment has some similarities with Islamic law, as “Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived.” Mohammad said “Fight those who believe not in Allah … until they pay the jizya [tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Sura 9:29)
- The 18th Amendment has some similarities with Islamic law, as “the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors … for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.”
- The 19th Amendment allows women to vote, yet in strict Islamic countries women cannot vote.
- The 21st Amendment allows for the sale of liquor, yet Islamic law states non-Muslims are not to sell or drink wine and liquor openly.
One would assume that to swear upon a book implies believing what is in that book. As Mohammad was not just a religious leader, but also a political-military leader, Sharia Islam is not just a religious system, but also a political-military system.
Since no one has the authority to demand Muslims worldwide cease imitating the political-military example of Mohammad, when Sharia-practicing Muslims bow in prayer they are also pledging political-military allegiance to Mecca.
Swearing to defend the U.S. Constitution upon a Quran that promotes different values presents a dilemma. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, wrote in the foreword of the book “Law in the Middle East” (1955): “Islamic law offers the American lawyer a study in dramatic contrasts. Even casual acquaintance and superficial knowledge … reveal that its striking features relative to our law are not likenesses but inconsistencies, not similarities but contrarieties. In its source, its scope and its sanctions, the law of the Middle East is the antithesis (direct opposite) of Western law.”

One would assume that to swear upon a book implies believing what is in that book. As Mohammad ̈as not just a rЂligious ުeader, buǻ also a political-military leader, Sharia Islam is not just a religious system, but also a poliΏĢc֮l-militͨry system.
Since no one has the̠authority to demaʃd Musڂiھs worldwidƕ cease imitaߞing the political-militaϳy example of Mohammad, when Sharia-practicing Muslims bow in prayer they are Ҵlso pledging politicתl-milit٨ry allegiance to MecȮa.

Even casual acquaintance and superficial knowledge … reveal that its strikiߩg features relative to our law are no likenesses but inӅonsistencies, not similarities but coӅtrarieties. In its source, its scope and its sanctions, the law of the Middle East iǷ the antithesis (direېt opposite) of Western law.”

Main / How to: Creating Digital Images
Follow the tenets of good composition for any image you are putting on a web page. If anything, this is even more important for web page images as visitors may be scrutinizing them in more detail as the images download.
As you are reading these sentences, a dramatic image is downloading in the space below. When an image fills a large portion of a web page segment -- as is the case here -- always give viewers something to read either above or below the image. If not, your viewers view only a blank screen during the download process, they may grow impatient and quit your site.
Photos continue to be one of the most compelling types of web content. If your pictures are beautiful, chances are your web site will be beautiful as well.
Notice how the image above follows good composition rules. It has been set up so the rainbow clearly stands out and draws your eye to it. The trees frame the image and provide perspective.
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, however a poorly composed picture might be worth only two hundred. By following some simple guidelines you can create exciting images that inspire the mind.
Tried and True Photograph Composition Tips
. move in close
. have a strong center of interest, colorful subject
. choose a simple background
- Control the placement of subject within the frame
. have subject off center
. use lines to lead viewer to subject
. use foreground to frame subject and add depth
. try unusual camera angles
- Add energy and depth
. use dramatic lighting, early and late in the day, sidelight and backlight - strong shadows
. diagonal lines and patterns can fill an image with energy
. use foreground to build depth and perspective
Images are great but they can bog down a page. Use lots of images, but spread them out over several pages. Use links to move from page to page, loading images as you need them rather than all at once.
A Few Web Composition Tips
- Crop even tighter than usual to keep file size small
- Keep pictures small
- Use tables with borders to create an HTML "picture frame"
- Horizontal photos load faster
- Crop images to the shape that best displays the subject
- Consider using a fine border around images to offset from the background
Capturing the best image quality
When you capture images with a digital camera or scanner, use the highest resolution setting possible. The resulting image files will contain the most "information", giving image-enhancing software the most data to work with and resulting in a final image of the best quality.
Before you begin enhancing images, set them up in an optimal fashion:
- If you are opening an image from a Photo CD, choose the 512 x 768 size. This size helps you see effects of any enhancements you make and can be easily sized down to fit your web page. Generally speaking, try to work with an image larger than your end size.
- With other image editing software, open digital images in RGB (the color standard used for television and computer screens), and set the pixels per inch to 72. (this matches the dots-per-inch rate on your computer screen and at a 1:1 ratio (matching the original size).
- Using image enhancement software, optimize the image, following this basic order:
- crop to preferred dimensions
- adjust brightness, contrast, color
- save a "beautiful" master * Note: Do this without compression in case you ever want to generate a different size version.
- resample to smaller size (i.e., generally the smallest acceptable size)
- sharpen as needed - often when re-sampling a large image to a smaller size, sharpening will help
- Once editing is complete, save the image in JPEG format, choosing an option that gives you an acceptable compression to file size ratio. More information about this process is also found in Lesson four: Keep image file sizes small.
You can enhance web page images using a variety of software tools. While some require a fair amount of time and experimentation to learn, others can be mastered rapidly. One such product, KODAK Picture Easy Software , ships with some Kodak digital point-and-shoot cameras and personal scanners. It lets you fine tune images with a variety of tools, and helps make the task easier.
Seeing the many possibilities is really an easy way to "feel" your way to a good image. Enhance By Example helps do that by offering many options.
Variation in the Touch Up menu helps do that by offering many options. Below are two images taken by a casual photographer. On the left is the original image. The photographer wanted to enhance the rosy pink tones of the flowers. On the right is the image after changes made with PhotoDeluxe's "variations" method. With this method, seven different examples of the image are shown - here we chose one that brought out the pink tones.
Digital imaging tools and resources
An effective way to obtain digital images is to capture them yourself using a digital camera. Or, if you are using a traditional camera and film you can scan images using a desktop scanner, or bring them to a service provider to have them transferred to KODAK Picture Disks (US Only Dealer Locator), or KODAK PHOTO CD discs, or transferred to PhotoNet Online. Commercial CDs, in a variety of price ranges, are also on the market. These contain many images, most center around a certain theme. Shopping around to find CDs that feature themes relevant to your web page will give you a library of images to select from. You might use them "as is" or combine them with your own images to make them more relevant.

Supreme Court Commentaries
Racial Gerrymandering; Discrimination; Redistricting; Voting Rights Act; Standing
Constitutional Law | Supreme Court of the United States
In drawing election maps, racial gerrymandering separates minority groups, packing them into specific districts to weaken the power of their votes. In Wittman v. Personhuballah, the Supreme Court held that a group of Virginia congressmen that neither lived in, nor represented a district did not have standing to defend gerrymandering in that district. Although the Court had the opportunity to address the substantive issues in the case, it did not, leaving a substantial gap in racial gerrymandering jurisprudence. This commentary explores the consequences of this gap and argues that the Court should not find a legally cognizable right in a politician maintaining the racial makeup of his district, because it would result in non-resident politicians with greater rights than non-resident citizens, and it would further incentivize racial gerrymandering in the drawing of electoral maps.

Lia Fail Stone , County Meath
The Hill of Tara was the most important sacred centre of ancient Ireland , and was the seat of power of the high – kings of the country for several centuries. It is well worth a visit on any tours of Ireland.
The hill abounds in ancient monuments , including raths , tumuli , embankments , and enclosures.
This granite standing – stone was formerly situated on the “Mound of the Hostages” , a small prehistoric passage-grave at Tara where kings were inaugrated. However in recent centuries the stone was transferred to another mound about 130 yards to the south. It now stands there in an equally prominent position.
The stone is a carved round-topped monolith , reaching to a height of 5.2 feet overground.
Its name means “the stone of Fal” and the word Fal is most likely translated into “prosperity”.
It was clearly the most important ritual stone in the country and the mythologists claimed that it had been brought to Ireland by the divine race called “Tuatha De Danaan”
The Hill of Tara is a must see attraction on any Ireland tours if you want to see some of the ancient history that typifies this enchanting country.

Since the 1960’s Welded steel Moment-Resisting Frames (MRFs) have been widely accepted as the best structure for earthquake resistant buildings. Deficiencies in this system came to light when such structures showed brittle fractures at connections after an earthquake in 1994 in California. Although none of the buildings collapsed, ongoing research has looked for a better alternative.
This research has applied the self-centering and energy dissipating connection concepts used in prefabricated concrete structures to steel structures. The post-tensioned energy dissipating (PTED) connection system limits structural damage to sacrificial bars and assures a full re-centering of the structure at the end of the earthquake.

Our commitment to the Australian community is simple - we aim to recycle the maximum amount of useable plastic pipe.
While it may seem obvious to our industry, it needs to be remembered that plastics pipe represents a very small proportion of waste going to landfill – a fact confirmed by the NSW Government audit of construction and demolition waste. The reason for this is that plastic pipe in all its forms has a very long service life and is still in its first life cycle as further explained below.
The common plastics pipe systems are readily recycled and are being recycled now. Practically all post industrial waste is recycled and we are also recycling post- consumer pipe waste. For example, in excess of 3000t of PE pipe was recycled last year. Considering only post-consumer PVC pipe there was over 650t mostly sourced from demolition sites or construction waste recycled by the industry last year. This recycled PVC material is used in an innovative product range where the recyclate is used to manufacture new pipe with the same life and performance expectations as pipe made solely from virgin material. It is good to know that even when that long service life has been achieved that it can be recycled again back into pipe with exactly the same performance and life expectancy as the original pipe.
The common plastics used for pipe production like PVC and PE are thermoplastics and readily reprocessed. Scrap generated during manufacture is reground and fed back into the manufacturing process. As noted above, the industry is also now recycling post- consumer waste where pipe is collected from the waste stream and recycled back into pipe products, Specific PVC recycling locations are available in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and PVC pipe can be recycled at general plastic recycling stations throughout Australia.
In Australia, plastic pipes were only widely deployed for use in water supply systems from the 1970s. Due to plastic pipes being highly reliable, durable, and with a life expectancy exceeding 100 years, there is very little plastic pipe found in construction and demolition (C&D) waste streams. Due to the low volume of plastic pipes in waste streams, the plastics pipe industry has had to make significant effort to collect volumes viable for designated recycling. Additionally, it is only plastic pipe installed in buildings that is readily available for recycling after building demolition. The vast majority of plastic pipes used for water supply, sewerage and drainage applications are installed in ground. When these buried pipes reach the end of their serviceable lives (and that is a long way off) they will likely not be available for recycling but rather will be the host pipe for some form of trenchless rehabilitation.
Having regard for this, our industry over the last decade has:
- Worked with major waste management companies
- Worked with major distributors of products
- Based on the identified “learnings” of 1 and 2, in terms of volumes, contamination from foreign material and issues of logistics, we moved to the current more focused and efficient model of small scale company facilities in some states and one dedicated recycler in Melbourne. In addition, we have worked with specific suppliers/clients such as Ausgrid, Queensland gas industry and others for one-off projects. PIPA continually seeks new partnerships with industry and development projects to maximise the potential to recycle plastic pipe.
As plastic pipe enters the C&D waste stream in higher volumes, the designated plastic pipe recycling schemes and sites will become more effective, and the plastic pipe industry stands ready to utilise the material. This will further reduce the life cycle impacts of all plastic pipes. Combining all recycling sources, the total volume of material recycled by our industry is over 18,000t/a. This figure has been provided formally in March 2016 to the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and the NSW EPA.
Please note that Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have been completed for PVC,PE and PP pipe products.

Built in an era of catastrophic fires, including the damaging one to the adjacent Smithsonian Castle, the Arts and Industries Building’s construction was fireproof, using brick, wrought iron, tile and slate to protect the national collections.
Originally the first National Museum, the Arts and Industries Building (AIB) was designed by Adolf Cluss, a renowned German-American architect, and completed in 1881. The building was 90,000 square feet and consisted of one story; in the early 20th century, second story mezzanines were added, for a total of 140,000 gross square feet. The project was, at the time, a leading demonstration of modern museum design, and featured an open plan with natural ventilation and abundant daylight, so that no artificial lighting was required during the day. The original sketch by Adolf Cluss shows the interior with mezzanine or balcony galleries that were added from 1879-1902.
While the building went through a series of renovations over time, there were very few exterior changes. Interior changes involved adding mechanical systems, expanding second floor plates, adding partitions to subdivide interior spaces and generally limiting exhibition spaces and increasing office spaces. The recent revitalization project has removed many of these incompatible construction changes and is in the process of returning the interior to its former expanse of open and full height spaces.
Located on Washington, D.C.’s National Mall, the building is a National Historic Landmark.

A luggage label belonging to one of the first English settlers of the USA is to be flown into space next month. The 400-year-old lead tag will be carried aboard the shuttle Atlantis when it blasts off to the International Space Station.
Four commemorative coins issued by the US Mint will also be on shuttle mission STS-117 to mark the historic anniversary.
The metal tag was found at the bottom of a well at Jamestown, Virginia, site of the first permanent English settlement in the Americas in 1607. It reads YAMES TOWNE and is thought to have been discarded from either a shipping crate or trunk.
After the flight, Nasa will return the shipping tag to the Historic Jamestowne Archaearium, a new museum showcasing items unearthed during 13 years of excavations. Nasa spokesman Lesa Roe said: “Nasa is proud to be entrusted with this piece of exploration history and to participate in the commemoration of America’s 400th anniversary.
“Remembering the spirit of adventure that led to the establishment of Jamestown is appropriate as this country works toward establishing a permanent outpost on another planetary body.”

A dental hygienist is a professional who works alongside a dentist. They are often the person a patient has the most contact with when they visit the dental office. They are the person who cleans your teeth. They also will take a look at gums and teeth and try to detect thing that might be wrong or perhaps are leading to disease. Dental hygienists in Howell MI discuss oral hygiene with patients. The field is a strong one and many people what to know how to become a dental hygienist.
All the programs are intended to prepare a student for the licensing test required by each state. Some of these courses may include dental materials, ethics, periodontics, radiology, sedation, and oral hygiene. It is helpful if they also offer a course intended solely to prepare the student to take the licensing exam.
They also take X-rays and polish teeth. Dental hygienists enjoy some real perks in their jobs, too. They have good job security as hygienists are really in demand right now; in fact, the forecast for hygienists’ jobs looks bright for years to come. In addition, many dental hygienists get to set their own hours, more or less, and a significant percentage of dental hygienists only work part time. Plus, hygienists get to sit down at work much of the time, and work in calm, quiet, air-conditioned facilities. (If they work with children, however, the working environment isn’t always calm and quiet, especially when patients are afraid of being at the dentist’s office!)
Become a Dental Hygienist in Howell MI 48843
Dental hygienist training in Howell MI will also instruct you on how to sterilize equipment as well as the means through which you provide the required equipment to the dentist for use in operations. You will also learn how to take x-rays, remove sutures, and create restorations and a whole lot more. Other than this you will have the necessary skills required to instruct patients about what they should and should not do following their treatment and help the Dentist in monitoring their progress. You will also assist in the provision of all the necessary facets of information which tend to assist with preventing the adverse effects associated with dentition from happening.
If you are looking for more information on how to become a dental hygienist, then a good place to start is by contacting the American Dental Association for lists of schools and universities that provide courses of study. Working as an oral hygienist is a fulfilling career and one in which people report very high job satisfaction.
Once a student is done with a dental hygienist program, he or she will have the pleasure of flexible scheduling in a rewarding, lucrative career. Whether you want to work full time in Howell MI, part time, evening, or weekends, many hours are widely available. In fact, dentists frequently hire dental hygienists to work only two or three days a week. This way, dental hygienists who have had their training at appropriate dental hygienist schools have the opportunity to hold jobs at multiple dental offices.
Certification for Dental Hygienist in Howell MI 48843
The internship is also a chance to really see if a student wants to become a dental hygienist. They can really find out if they can manipulate the small tools. Working with real patients gives a person the chance to see if they really want to deal with dental patients on a daily basis. It is important to really know that you want to be in the profession before you go any further.
Though I have broadly outlined the duties of a dental hygienist, remember that that is far from all. When you want to get a job working as a hygienist, remember that there are other duties that you need to undertake as well. As you might guess, you will find that you need to do things like take X-rays, remove sutures, polish fillings, work with metal restorations, record medical histories and even make molds for crowns and for other dental prosthetics.
Some of the jobs that a hygienist will perform in a Howell MI include taking molds of patients mouths for dental devices to be made from; working in the laboratory and taking x-rays; providing fluoride treatments and removing plaque and calculus from patients’ teeth. They are also usually responsible for updating patient files in the surgery and may review them before someone comes to have a procedure done.
The general educational path for this field is earning an associate’s degree. Students learn all of the techniques needed for this field by working through a degree program that provides them with a focused curriculum. Dental anatomy and preventive treatments are covered to prepare students for their role inside the workplace. Pharmacology, radiography, microbiology, and preclinical hygiene are some general courses that are taken inside an associate’s degree program. Tooth and gum care is learned in courses that center on cleaning a patient’s teeth, providing physiotherapy, and educating individuals on hygiene.

If your dog or cat becomes heat-stressed at home and you have air conditioning, use it. If the air conditioning system is confined to one room, put your pet in that room and be prepared to sit with her so she doesn’t become stressed by your absence. If you don’t have air conditioning, cover her with a towel soaked to dripping in cold water, and replace it with another cold water towel when it becomes warm.
Another good way of helping to keep your pet cool is to get him to lie in front of a fan in front of which you have placed a bowl of iced water.
Be particularly careful with smaller animals such as birds, rabbits and guinea pigs. They have a higher metabolic rate than dogs and cats, and they succumb to heat stress much more quickly than other pets do. This tendency is exacerbated by the fact that many people keep their pets in cages or hutches in the backyard where they are unable to escape to a shady, cool spot.
On hot days, or days which are predicted to be hot, move pocket pets into the coldest area of the house, preferably with tiled floors, such as the bathroom or the laundry.
Other pets which are especially susceptible to heat stroke are those who are overweight, brachycephalic dogs (those with short noses such as Pugs, Pekingese, Boxers), and animals with pre-existing cardiac conditions (particularly congestive heart failure).
If your animal does appear to be heat-stressed, don’t waste time. Cool it down with cold water as quickly as you possibly can and then transport him to the surgery as soon as possible. Intravenous fluids and other emergency treatment can save lives, but only if it is instituted rapidly enough.

Schemata is plural for worlds of knowledge and associations as they are read and triggered by particular ideas, words or situations. Schemata for particular networks of knowledge and information are activated as individuals read and add to their existing schemata as they encounter new information. In addition, their existing schemata influence the ways they approach and make sense of texts. Schemata, stores of knowledge about texts and about the world, are organized a networks of associations which can be triggered by a single word. For example, the word BALL may call up images of baseball diamonds, backstops, and bases as well as the pitchers, batters, catchers, umps, fielders and even sports commentators who take part in the game. Innings, errors, random statistics about particular players and even the smells and sounds of baseball stadiums may quickly and automatically come to mind as such images and ideas flood into consciousness. The same word, BALL, may for another reader call up a competing schema: Images of fancy gowns, corsages, tuxedos, limousine rides, and the blushing self-consciousness of a first prom. Proficient readers know they must relinquish any schema that proves inappropriate as they encounter further information from the text, but less experienced readers will often hold onto inappropriate images that block meaningful connections with the text.

Dissertation is the most important procedure for anyone’s degree. It requires in-depth study and aptitude. Several pupils begin sensation nervous when they know they’ve to publish and send their dissertation. Publishing a dissertation can be a challenging method, but it is never impossible.
Once you decide about writing your dissertation, never put it off. Begin on it immediately. Will have an idea on what you are likely to go about it. Have a target everyday and take to to attain it. You can get satisfaction of accomplishing your daily job and also note that the task is progressing. For writing a dissertation, you will need a few ideas and by procrastinating you is only going to eliminate your ideas. This really is among the key details wherever pupils get stuck. Therefore, begin the procedure of writing dissertation significantly before you actually begin it. Once you think of an appealing thought, observe it down in a book.
Do choose a topic that will interest you order dissertation. If your specific subject is problematic for you, then may very well not discover the inclination to publish it or finish it. Generally take feedback or ideas from buddies or persons who can help you. You may get some valuable tips or get some data that you would not need otherwise.
In case you are writing about a topic about a common problem or situation, then don’t restrict yourself within your loved ones and buddies for information. You may also method folks who are walking in the road or paying time in a park. You are able to always speak to strangers about such points and their experiences. A good individual will be helpful towards a hardworking student.
In order to succeed in your dissertation challenge, you must create accurate relationship together with your advisor. This really is specially important if you are a PhD. One should never forget tat there are two measures in the advising process, the first point is when a student requires class and the 2nd one is really a dissertation process. In order to succeed however, one should have the advisor at each period of this process. Te student in this instance has more opportunities to create acquaintance together with his advisors, and thus understand greater which one of them can match his needs.
This essential method is vital for the pupils and advisors alike. But advisor should behave like a mature and responsible individual who, unlike the student, has had a great deal more experience in advising of the completion of dissertation. Te advisor should give specific attention to all or any needs of the scholar in addition to his remarks or observations. If a counselor is required to read the draft of the dissertation, he must study it and assess it, providing unique remarks to the job submitted.

He has licked the butter aff my bread.
He's as welcome as water in a holed ship.
He's the slave of all slaves who serve's none but himself.
He that lives upon hope has a slim diet.
He that teaches himself has a fool for a master.
"It is an ill cause that the lawyers think shame o'"
It's an ill wind that blaws naebody any gude.
(Most bad things that happen have a good result for someone).
Learn young, learn fair; learn old, learn more.
Little wit o' the head gives the feet much to do.
Look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
Mair by guid luck than guid guidance.
Money is flat and was meant to be piled up.
Mony cooks ne’er made a gude kail.
(Too many cooks spoil the broth).
Nae fool like an auld fool.
Ne'er cast a clout till May be oot.
(Don't put aside winter clothing until May be out. But Scottish weather isn't that cold
In this context, "May" is the Mayflower or Hawthorn, which blooms well before the end of May).
Never draw your dirk when a blow will do it.
Never marry for money. You can borrow it cheaper.
"Never show your teeth unless you can bite"
Of twa ills, choose the least.
One for sorrow, two for joy,
Three for a girl, four for a boy.

Our Regenerative Neuroscience Group aims to develop new strategies to prevent and treat dementia. Our team strives to reduce the enormous personal, social and economic cost of dementia to Australia and the world.
Our research focuses on discovering new therapeutic approaches for treating dementia and developing better dementia prevention strategies. We also work closely with the Healthy Brain Ageing Clinic to increase public awareness of modifiable dementia risk factors.
Our fundamental approach is based on understanding and harnessing the brain’s neuroplastic mechanisms. Neuroplasticity refers to how our brain changes in response to stimulatory experience.
We are innovators in the research and practice of brain training. Our group is part of the world’s largest dementia prevention study, the Maintain Your Brain trial, funded by a $6.5 million grant from the NHMRC.
This trial includes an all-new online approach to cognitive training, physical exercise, stress management and dietary modification. It will monitor the brain health of 18,000 older people in New South Wales over four years. This will be the first study able to accurately test whether comprehensive lifestyle management is truly capable of preventing or delaying dementia.
We also work closely with the Healthy Brain Ageing Clinic on the NHMRC-funded Trajectories Trial. In this study, we aim to determine whether evidence-based brain training can modify downwards memory trajectories in those people already engaged with the HBA Clinic.
Our laboratory is also examining new ways to diagnose cognitive impairment using home-based spatial tracking as well as automated neuropsychological tests.
Dementia is fundamentally a problem of mass neuronal and synaptic loss (ie, brain cells and the connections between them). We are therefore pioneering a regenerative medicine strategy that aims to replace these lost brain cells using stem cells. We begin with a small skin sample and isolate stem cells from the skin that have a neuronal memory. We then expand these cells using our developed technology.
We have shown that grafting these cells in an older brain can reverse memory deficits. Donor cells survive and mature into proper neurones connected to the host brain.
In April 2017, Timmy the cocker spaniel will have been dementia-free for two years. This is thanks to a breakthrough in stem cell therapy developed by our team here at the Brain and Mind Centre.
About one in eight older dogs develop Canine Cognitive Dysfunction or “doggie dementia.” It is characterised by dogs staring blankly at walls, memory loss, getting lost around the house, nocturnal agitation and incontinence. Dogs with this condition have the same Alzheimer’s pathology as humans and therefore the condition in dogs is an important bridge between rodents and humans. We believe that if our treatment works in dogs it will work in humans.
Timmy had a one year history of doggie dementia that was getting progressively worse. He was very disengaged, uninterested and had a disrupted sleep pattern. He was waking so many times in the night that his owners were considering euthanasia.
In April 2015 we obtained a sample of Timmy’s skin and produced a million neural stem cells, tailor-made for him. Then under anaesthetic and with the skills of a neurosurgeon, we injected Timmy’s cells into his hippocampus (brain’s memory centre) using his MRI brain scan.
Three months later, Timmy’s owners reported significant improvements in his behaviour. In fact, according to his owner’s results on our Canine Cognitive Dysfunction rating scale, Timmy no longer had dementia. Timmy is now back to his normal self and is an engaged and happy part of the family.
We are now in the process of expanding this trial to test our cell therapy on a numbers of dogs. We work with a number of collaborators including the University of Sydney Faculty of Veterinary Science, the University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital and the Animal Referral Hospital. Our group has also established a world-first Canine Brain Bank in conjunction with Associate Professor Michael Buckland at the Brain and Mind Centre and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
We are hopeful the results of the DOGS+CELLS trial will be positive and can lead to human clinical trial in the next few years.
An expert panel will explore the science behind neuroplasticity and dispel common myths at a public forum at the University of Sydney on Wednesday 1 June.
A meta-analysis has found that brain training – or Computerised Cognitive Training (CCT) – can improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment, suggesting it may prevent dementia, which can take hold within a year.

Question:Is there any type of exercise that does not cause asthma?
Answer: All types of physical activity can potentially cause exercise-induced asthma. That being said, activities that require sustained periods of ventilation or breathing or high-aerobic demands such as soccer, lacrosse or cross-country running for example, may increase your risk of having an episode of exercise-induced asthma.
In addition, activities that take place in very cold environments such as ice-hockey, jogging outside in the winter time or cross-country skiing for example, are also activities that put you at increased risk.
The most important thing to remember is that all physical activity can potentially cause an episode of exercise-induced asthma, and that's why it's so important to have your rescue inhaler available at all times.

The DSM V classification: Sleep-wake disorders encompass 10 disorders or disordered groups. The sleep disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, educational, academic, behavioral or other important areas of functioning. The sleep difficulty occurs at least 3 nights per week, for at least 3 months despite adequate opportunity for sleep.
A. Insomnia disorder:
A predominant complaint of dissatisfaction with sleep quantity or quality, associated with one (or more) of the following symptoms:
B. Hypersomnolence disorder:
Self-reported excessive sleepiness despite a main sleep period lasting at least 7 hours, with one of the following symptoms;
Recurrent periods of an irrepressible need to sleep, lapsing into sleep, or napping occurring within the same day
D. Breathing related sleep disorders:
The breathing-related sleep disorders category encompasses three relatively distinct disorders, Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea, Central sleep apnea and Sleep-related hypoventilation
1. The symptoms are evidence of polysomnography of at least five obstructive apneas or hypopneas per hour sleep and either of the following sleep symptoms:
2. Evidence by polysomnography of 15 or more obstructive apneas and/or hypopneas per hour of sleep regardless of accompanying symptoms
E. Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders:
A persistent or recurrent pattern of sleep disruption that is primarily due to an alteration of the circadian system or a misalignment between the endogenous circadian rhythm and the sleep –wake schedule required by an individual’s physical environment or social or professional schedule. The sleep disruption leads to excessive sleepiness or insomnia, or both.
F. Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep arousal disorder:
Recurrent episodes of incomplete awakening from sleep, usually occurring during the first third of the major sleep episode, accompanied by either one of the following
G. Nightmare disorder:
Repeated occurrences of extended, extremely dysphoric, and well-remembered dreams that usually involve efforts to avoid threats to survival, security, or physical integrity and that generally occur during the second half of the major sleep episode.
H. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder:
Repeated episodes of arousal during sleep associated with vocalization and/or complex motor behaviors. These behaviors arise during REM sleep and therefore usually occur more than90 minutes after sleep onset.
I. Restless leg syndrome:
An urge to move the legs, usually accompanied by or in response to uncomfortable and unpleasant sensations in the legs, characterized by the urge to move the legs begins or worsens during periods of rest or inactivity. The urge to move the legs is partially or totally relieved by movement. The urge is worse in the evening or night.
J. Substance/Medication-induced sleep disorder:
A prominent and severe disturbance in sleep. There is evidence from the history, physical examination, and or laboratory findings. Sleep disorders are often accompanied by depression, anxiety and cognitive changes that must be addressed in treatment planning and management. Furthermore, persistent sleep disturbances are established risk factors for the subsequent development of mental illness and substance use disorders.
Psychiatrist will confirm the diagnosis after sleep study if necessary.
Medication management and alternate therapy like meditation, reiki and hypnotherapy.

Understanding Models and why we create them
Understanding what a model is is perhaps one of the most important things to understand about how the human mind makes sense of the world.
As I have written before, scientific hypothesis and theories are models of how the universe works based on evidence. But they are not to be taken as the last word on the subject because of the nature of models.
A model is basically just an explanation of a number of facts. It is a narrative that explains why these facts exist and what they mean as a group. But not all models reflect reality even though they are based on facts.
Recently I saw a talk between Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss, two people who’s intellect I admire greatly. They came to a point in their discussion where they were talking about religious logic. Dawkins likened religion to a primitive tribe who’s beliefs were wrong scientifically, but to them it didn’t matter because within the tribe everything was structured toward that belief so that within the confines of the belief there is a coherence which acts like logic, but isn’t based on facts. In the end Dawkins stated he didn’t know why anyone would want to do that.
Lawrence Krauss then said that Dawkins had alluded to the answer. He went on to say that for survival it was probably important for early man to believe that there was a story that explained their existence. That existence wasn’t just “capricious” and that there were reasons for what they were observing. He likened early man kind to scientist looking for answers. The stories then would be the impetus for religion.
For two brilliant scientists they danced around the point without ever coming to it. What they could have simply said was that religion is a model of life. It is based on the facts of the human condition and tries to explain them. It is no wonder that religion persists. The subjects it talks about are real, and real solutions can be found in the answers religion provides.
Religion is indeed an explanation of the facts of life. But is the model correct? No. But it doesn’t have to be unless you are looking for the truth.
It turns out that it doesn’t matter for everyday living. Religion gives people a story that they can base their lives and behaviour on. And it is based on the facts of the human condition. It has remedies for problems like adultery, theft, murder, etc. Mostly it says don’t do these things. If you do not do these things your life will be a lot better because you won’t be bringing the consequences of these acts on your head. And this is of course true and sound advice.
The part about gods and their relationship to mankind, and what the gods want from us is irrelevant in this context because no gods ever show up in our day to day lives. They just figure as part of an explanation which isn’t really needed in real life. In fact, it talks mostly about death and thereafter.
The Genesis story is a perfect example. It tells us about how mankind came to understand right and wrong, good and evil. How we became self conscious. The story acknowledges that woman have a hard time in labour. It explains why we have to work hard to survive. It also provides us with a story of how the snake lost its legs. The story itself is fiction, but the facts are correct. Woman have a hard time in child birth, snakes do not have legs, people have to work to survive, we are self conscious, and we do have a sense of good and evil, positive and negative.
We already know all the facts, so the story explaining them is just window dressing. We know we are conscious, we know woman have a hard time in child birth, etc.
Models are interpretations of the data at hand. I could tell you that the moon god provides for us and loves us because he makes hens lay eggs for us. Well hens do lay eggs. When we get up in the morning and go to the hen house there are eggs waiting for us there. The model must be true.
Well the model is not true, of course. I made it up. But I used facts, so the model is based on facts. Hens lay eggs, we collect them and use them as a food source. But hens do not lay eggs for us, they do it for their species. The moon god has nothing to do with it, and probably doesn’t really love us after all. Not to mention that he probably does not exist.
But so what if someone believed that? Chickens lay eggs and we eat them. The lies have no bearing on the day to day. However, they would be believing a lie, and for those wanting the truth no matter what it is, a lie is not good enough.
In science the only models that are used are the ones that work or predict the behaviour of the world in some way. In cosmology the models are used to try to explain the origins of the universe. The Big Bang is the most popular theory because for the most part, if it is true, it explains how the universe came to be in its current form. Mathematically the sequence of events that are said to have taken place conform to the idea of BB. But it is still not the last word and the model will be and has been modified many times.
QM is a tool that makes the most precise predictions about the quantum world. There are many hypothesis as to why. There are many interpretations concerning what it all means. In other words there are many models out there, none of which have been proven. But what is key is that no interpretation is required to do the math. All those interpretations and explanations are irrelevant when working with QM. It just works.
A model is very useful but it should not be taken as the absolute truth of the matter. Scientists use models and build on them by doing experiments designed to falsify the theory. If it cannot be falsified it comes closer to being accepted as the likely truth of the matter. You can try a thousand times to falsify a theory and even if it cannot be done the first one hundred times that does not prove it is the factual way the world works. But if just once it is actually falsified, it can be ruled out as the way it actually is
People need models because they want to know what the data they collect means. So what they do in essence is make as good a guess as they can, and then try to tear their idea apart or prove it to be the most likely. They may have mathematical evidence or evidence through logic, but until the model is proven fact, it isn’t fact.
It is really better to forget the interpretations and allow the facts to eventually build up and speak for themselves. But people want an explanation of what they are observing.
Scientists and theists are not the only ones who tell stories to explain the world. Building models is what we do all the time. In fact beliefs are models. Opinions are models. Concepts are models. Interpretations are models. All of them usually based on some sort of facts. But that does not mean that the model actually explains the facts.
Fiction writers are happy to tell us that their work is fiction. But if it was not based on some sort of facts or human conditions the story would not resonate with us. The writer’s model may be a cautionary tale, or one of sex and conquest. While the story itself is not true it uses situations and conditions that can and do exist.
I sometimes wonder if scientists know that what they are doing is telling us a narrative, just like the person who first recounted Genesis was doing. But with a little more evidence to back it up.

Activity 1- What Do They Look like?
Language Skill: Speaking
Device needed: camera (cellphone, tablet,digital camera or any other device that has a camera in it)
Objective: Describing people
Students can work individually or in pairs/groups in case not everyone has a camera. Set a time limit of 5 minutes and ask them to go around the school taking pictures of the school staff (teachers, secretaries, etc). When students come back to class, group them up and ask each one to show the other classmates some of the pictures they have taken. Classmates should describe the appearance of the people in each picture.
Tip: Talk to the school staff before you conduct this activity, so that you can get their permission to be photographed. Also, remind your students to tell the people they approach that they are working on a class project and to ask for permission before taking the pictures.

Electricity plays an important role in human life and its activities.
Currently, many villages in Indonesia still do not have electricity due to the absence of a power plant capacity and difficult areas to access.
With desire, determination and commitment, Sahabat Alam brings Sahabat Alam friends to help them fulfil their dream; flowing the electricity into their houses for the children's studying, watching television, cooking and all other activities in the day and mainly at night.
As today’s crisis environment causes climate change, this draws us to create a power plant that uses natural potential nearby which functions all year long.
The potential electricity we will apply is based on surveys and researches of the location combined with our school knowledge of Science, Electricity, Mathematics and Physics. These knowledge will definitely help us in providing a new source of energy that is environment-friendly without damaging the mother nature.
The great potential for water energy which comes from waterfall in which the water energy combined with a turbine and dynamo could be utilized and converted as a source of electric energy which we call as “Electric Generator Water Reel”.
The power could be obtained from the head of the waterfall combined with the volume per second flow of the waterfall and the gravity:
Power = Head x Flow x Gravity
At the same time, we are utilizing a clean, environment-friendly, green, renewable and sustainable energy that does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which worsens the greenhouse effects; as earth’s temperature rises.
Living with electricity will provide a better life and development to the village. More development activities can be carried through with electricity that is previously impossible. This is definitely promoting better quality of life and economic growth to the villagers; improving education and health facilities, providing peace and spirit of mutual assistance for all villagers; bringing and uniting all villagers’ sense of togetherness in becoming an independent village which excels in welfare and better life without destroying the earth.

When you require a new metal part to be manufactured, there are two processes you may want to consider: metal stamping and metal fabrication. Both of these are used by many industries, but they are quite different. Each has certain advantages and disadvantages that can make them more suitable for your product. Here are the key differences between metal fabricating and metal stamping to help you make your decision.
Metal stamping is also known as ‘pressing.’ It is a relatively straightforward process where a flat sheet of metal is taken and laid on a stamping or machine press. The metal is then worked using a range of processes that can include bending, folding, pressing, stretching, blanking and punching. With this process, metal parts can be produced in one stage or in multiple stages.
The advantages of metal stamping are that it tends to be fast and economical when it comes to large production runs. The larger the production run, the cheaper the cost for each piece becomes. It is a good option for high-volume runs involving complex and innovative products, and it can be automated to a high degree.
The problem with metal stamping comes when you only need one product. If you are creating a custom product, the cost will increase dramatically for this, often to the point where it is too expensive to be viable. It is also not a particularly flexible option. This means that if you decide you need to make some changes to the design, implementing these can be very expensive.
Metal fabrication is where metal is shaped into parts through a range of processes, including stretching, bending, sawing, shearing, and cutting. Materials are removed during the process, and individual pieces are then joined together, usually by hand. This is used by manufacturers like Midlake, which makes custom spring hinges.
Metal fabrication has many advantages. One of these is that it is very quick, making it an ideal option for a prototype. It is also very versatile and flexible, as lots of production techniques can be used to create highly-customized metal parts. Design changes can also be made very quickly in a way that is not possible with metal stamping.
The downside, however, is that it is more labor intensive usually has a higher cost-per-piece. It is also not as ideal as metal stamping for repeating a process.
Decide on the Most Suitable Option
Deciding between metal fabrication and metal stamping is always an important decision to make when you are producing a new product. It will affect every element including the quality, the cost, the production time, and the design, so make sure you think carefully about the two options before making a decision. Speak to a specialist metal worker and get his or her recommendation. Then use that expert advice to help you make your decision. It could save you time and money in the long run.
Julie Shrum has worked at Midlake since her father decided to retire way back in 1996. She has accumulated a vast knowledge of hinges and metalworking during her time as sales manager. Julie works closely with the sales team to create the best customer experience possible. She continues to learn daily about new applications for sheet metal fabrication.

Hibiscus tree is a very beautiful shrub that grows in various tropical areas. Today it is often cultivated as an ornamental plant. It can often be found in Egypt, in Thailand, in Ceylon and Java, as well as in Sudan and China. This evergreen deciduous plant has a bare stalk. The next leaves are located on the petioles. Elegant flowers are quite large. Flowers can have a variety of color and shape, depending on the type of Hibiscus tree, which there are about three hundred. This tree or tree-like shrub in nature grows up to 5 meters, but at home it reaches a maximum of 1.5 meters. Today, low plants are also popular – hybrids of hibiscus. Glossy leaves have an oval shape, jagged along the edge. Shades of colors can be very different: from light pink or yellowish-white to fiery red or purple-violet. In simple hibiscus varieties, flowers are like mallow flowers. In its natural form, the flowering period is winter, in culture it can bloom almost a year. The birthplace of the Chinese rose is southern China and northern India. Here it is bred everywhere, but in the wild it no longer occurs. Hibiscus in Russia is known as a very popular houseplant.
The life span of Hibiscus tree is at least 20 years. It is perfectly moldable. To increase the branchedness of the bush, at the end of winter all the stems should be cut off. Under favorable conditions and with proper care, the plant will reach three meters in height. Since the earliest times, useful medicinal properties of hibiscus have been discovered. It is used for the effective treatment of not only various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, but also is used for hemorrhoids, dysentery and acute inflammation of the skin.
Useful properties and application of hibiscus tree
• Little is known that such a popular and loved indoor plant has a wide range of useful properties. It has long been used in the treatment of skin inflammations, gastrointestinal diseases, hemorrhoids, dysentery.
• The composition of leaves and flowers of the Chinese rose includes flavonoids, which improve the process of metabolism and cleanse the body of harmful and unnecessary products. Hibiscus also has antihelminthic properties; it helps to cleanse the body of helminthic invasions. The use of leaves and flowers of the plant for medicinal purposes protects the liver from harmful effects, improves metabolism, and stimulates the production of bile.
• Flowers of hibiscus are widely used in folk medicine. They possess anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, blood-styling, choleretic and diuretic actions.
• Hibiscus flowers contain ascorbic, malic, citric acids, which give them an acidic but pleasant taste. The absence of oxalic acid in flowers, allows them to be used by people with kidney disease, since it excludes the formation of stones in them.
• The content of polysaccharides and ascorbic acid in large amounts improves the functioning of the immune system, increases the protective function of the body, its resistance to viruses and bacteria.
• Grated fresh hibiscus flowers are applied to abscesses, boils, long unhealed wounds, swelling in mumps and tumors of malignant origin. This remedy is also effective in treating youthful acne.
• Soaked flowers in the form of lotions used to treat skin inflammation and wetting ekzi.
• Psychologists are often advised to have hibiscus at home as a houseplant. This is based on the fact that in the presence of this flower, the emotional climate in the family is improving. From a more scientific point of view, hibiscus is able to efficiently clean and update the air in the room, thanks to the phytoncids contained in it
Contraindications for use
• Phytopreparations consisting of hibiscus flowers can cause allergic reactions in some people. At any deterioration of the general state of health, you should immediately contact an allergist.
• The plant cannot be consumed categorically for people who have an increased acidity in the stomach. With gastritis and ulcers from hibiscus, it is also better to give up.
• In some cases, there may be increased sensitivity or intolerance to this herbal preparation

GenOn's Potomac River Generating station is an old power plant located on the Potomac River in a residential district, close to Reagan National Airport and within sight of the Washington Monument. Controversy over the plant grew in the mid-2000s due to the plant's declining importance in the region's electric grid and the disproportionate amount of air pollution it creates. Plans to close the plant and turn the high-value riverfront land into park space have been proposed by a variety of groups and given substantial backing by local politicians.
City of Alexandria and GenOn Agree to Close Potomac River Generating Station
The City of Alexandria and GenOn Energy have reached an agreement to retire this power plant by October 1, 2012, unless needed for reliability purposes.

Death and disease attributable to fine particle pollution from Potomac River Station
In 2010, Abt Associates issued a study commissioned by the Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit research and advocacy organization, quantifying the deaths and other health effects attributable to fine particle pollution from coal-fired power plants. Fine particle pollution consists of a complex mixture of soot, heavy metals, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Among these particles, the most dangerous are those less than 2.5 microns in diameter, which are so tiny that they can evade the lung's natural defenses, enter the bloodstream, and be transported to vital organs. Impacts are especially severe among the elderly, children, and those with respiratory disease. The study found that over 13,000 deaths and tens of thousands of cases of chronic bronchitis, acute bronchitis, asthma, congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, dysrhythmia, ischemic heart disease, chronic lung disease, and pneumonia each year are attributable to fine particle pollution from U.S. coal plant emissions.
These deaths and illnesses are major examples of coal's external costs, i.e. uncompensated harms inflicted upon the public at large. Low-income and minority populations are disproportionately impacted as well, due to the tendency of companies to avoid locating power plants upwind of affluent communities. To monetize the health impact of fine particle pollution from each coal plant, Abt assigned a value of $7,300,000 to each 2010 mortality, based on a range of government and private studies. Valuations of illnesses ranged from $52 for an asthma episode to $440,000 for a case of chronic bronchitis.

A longstanding campaign by the Sierra Club and regional environmental groups has targeted the Potomac River Generating station as one of the most likely for closure in the nation. The "Gen-Off" campaign has partnered local activists with the Sierra Club, the Chesapeake Climate Action Nettwork, Greenpeace, American Clean Skies Foundation, the American Lung Association and Interfaith Power and Light. "Citizens of the City of Alexandria have fought the plant for nearly a decade, and have forced GenOn to set aside $34 million in an effort to contain some of the plant’s pollution. While we applaud this initial effort, a growing group of concerned citizens believe that GenOn should not continue to invest in a plant that nobody wants here."
Momentum also built with a report questioning the need for the plant and a full architectural plan to replace the plant with a riverfront development and park, as noted below:
Need for the power plant questioned in July 2011 report
A report by the Analysis Group, a utility consulting firm, found in July 2011 that the plant could be shut down "without adversely impacting the power supply to the nation's capital." Benefits would include an overall reduction in air pollution. In 2010, the plant operated at 20 percent of capacity, accounting for less than one half of one percent of the total electricity supply in the region. Closure of the plant is more feasible in 2011-2012 than previously, the reported noted, since in 2007 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission had ordered local electric utility PEPCO and regional transmission organization PJM to plan a more diversified grid structure.
Potomac River Green Project proposed
The plant was slated for redevelopment, under a $450 million plan unveiled in 2011 by the American Clean Skies Foundation.
The American Clean Skies Foundation, funded by the natural gas industry, proposed a plan to transform the power plant into a multi-use riverfront development. The plan would involve a public-private investment of $450 million to create 500 homes and over 200,000 square feet of office space along with parks and public access to the river. The heart of the site would be a "world-class new energy center for the Washington region." This would involve an alternative fuels center that would recharge electric natural gas vehicles.
"This mixed-use redevelopment concept for the site of the Potomac River Generating Station (PRGS) is designed to provide a catalyst for a market-based solution to the plant's retirement," the plan's promoters said. Articles in Grist Magazine and Treehugger also discussed the concept.
The problem with the concept is that a previous agreement to clean up the coal plant is still in effect, and some environmental groups oppose further delays in cleaning up the plant.
Environmental law issues
Mirant Clean Air Settlement 2008
In 2005, the company's violations of the New Source Review requirements of the Clean Air Act led to negotiations between Mirant Mid-Atlantic (Mirant) on the one hand and the U.S. EPA, Department of Justice and the states of Virginia and Maryland on the other. The settlement, announced on May 8, 2006, involved the elimination of nearly 29,000 tons of pollution in its four coal-fired electrical plants in Maryland and Virginia.
Under settlement terms, Mirant will cap NOx emissions on a system-wide basis from its Chalk Point Generating Station in Maryland, Dickerson Generating Station in Maryland, Morgantown Generating Station in Maryland, and its Potomac River Generating Station in Virginia. To meet these objectives Mirant will install pollution control equipment at its Potomac River and Morgantown power plants, and may also install controls at their other sites. According to Mirant, the company will be installing Flue gas desulfurization (scrubbers) to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) that will be operable by 2010. The EPA notes that Mirant will install and operate two Selective Catalytic Reduction devices to control for NOx emissions at its Morgantown facility, as well as Separated Over-Fire Air technology at the Potomac plant.
Mirant also paid a $500,000 civil penalty, which was divided between Virgina and the U.S. government. Additionally, Mirant will spend at least $1 million on nine separate projects to reduce fine particulate matter (PM) from its Potomac River Generating Station. "The reductions in NOx emissions required by this settlement will result in general improved air quality throughout the metropolitan area and the surrounding region," said Sue Ellen Wooldridge, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division. "Today's settlement is evidence of the continued progress that we are achieving through the cooperative enforcement efforts of federal and state agencies."
NOx contributes to the formation of acid rain and also increases low-level ozone, which causes smog, and fine PM causes haze.
Permit violations found at plant in 2011
On May 6, 2011, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality determined that the plant must pay $275,500 in civil penalties to the state for numerous permit violations, including excessive visible emissions and failing to submit documentation of emissions monitoring. The fine was part of a consent order with GenOn Energy, which merged with Mirant in December 2010. The facility was determined "to not be in compliance with several conditions of their state-operating permit issued on July 31, 2008,” according to the DEQ. The violations included operating failures to control emissions, using inappropriate fuel and improper emissions controls, among other violations. Several of the new monitoring systems were installed as part of an agreement among the city, the plant and community activists’ work, and yet the new systems had operational failures. Many of the administrative steps in the consent order were designed to get the system working properly.
In February 2012, GenOn was fined $280,700 for exceeding its nitrogen oxide limit six times between June 28 and July 18 of 2011, according to a consent decree between the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board and GenOn.

The Hosta Gardening Calendar
by Bob Solberg,
Spring (Foliage emergence begins): March- April early May
As the ground warms under spring’s ever increasing light intensities, the dormant buds of the hostas begin to swell and break through the mulch, looking like bullets coming out of the ground. The small bud scales that protect the true leaves open and recurve allowing a cigar-shaped flush of usually three to four leaves to emerge well above the ground. Soil temperature and moisture seem to effect the timing of the emergence of hostas the most. In very dry winters the emergence of hostas will be delayed unless the garden is irrigated. As the new hosta leaves expand, ample water is also needed for them to gain maximum size.
Labeling: Check for lost labels and replace as needed.
Light: Full sun, moderate intensity. Usually no shading necessary.
Nutrients: Apply slow release fertilizer (e.g. Osmocote, Nutricote, organic fertilizers) or 10-10- 10 granular fertilizer around clumps as the hostas emerge. If you only use a liquid fertilizer, then apply weekly beginning as the first leaves start to unfurl.
Pests: Begin slug control before hosta leaves emerge. The slugs will be active on warm nights before the hostas will. Try to limit their populations before they hide in the hosta foliage. If early attacks by deer are a problem, spray a repellent. Little is needed at this time but it may need to be repeated every 10 days as the hostas enlarge. Stay on vole patrol.
Protection: Finish your spring clean-up of fallen branches, old hosta foliage and scapes. Last chance to mulch. Pull mulch away from emerging hosta shoots to reduce the risk of petiole rot, especially if hardwood bark is used as mulch. Protect from late freezes with frost cloth, nursery pots, boxes, lightweight bed sheets or newspaper. Hostas with unfurled leaves can be protected by covering with mulch.
Propagation: Hostas may be divided in half or quarters as they begin to emerge. Be prepared to provide them with extra water and care as they will have oversized leaves for their recently reduced root system. New roots will not begin forming until the first sets of new leaves are almost fully expanded, several weeks after division. Save drastic division for late summer.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist. Fresh hostas are mostly water, make sure plenty is available as they expand. Beautiful spring days with bright light, low humidity and brisk winds dehydrate new hosta leaves quickly, do not be afraid to irrigate generously.
Fun! This is the best hosta season of the year! Go out several times a day and watch your hostas spring from the earth. You can almost see them grow! Count the number of new shoots and calculate how much your hosta investment has increased. A one division hosta purchased for $25 last fall, with its three new shoots, has now tripled in value to $75. Drag you neighbors over to see your hostas do their magic act. This is the time of year when everything is right in the hosta world. Go to a local hosta meeting.

One of the best ways for beginner students to improve their musical awareness is to practice with a metronome. Some students get so wrapped up in what they are playing that they are unaware of anything else, including the beat. Playing with a metronome challenges students to listen more carefully to what they are playing, and also requires that they expand their awareness to listen to something other than themselves.
Many students are resistant to playing with a metronome though, and will make comments like these: my metronome makes me frustrated, my metronome speeds up and slows down, I don’t like playing with the metronome, and I hate the metronome.
Here are some thoughts that address each of those complaints.
My metronome makes me frustrated
If you become frustrated playing with a metronome, chances are very good that you have it set at a tempo that is too fast. Slow down and see the post on selecting the best tempo.
My metronome speeds up and slows down
If you are using a wind-up metronome and it is not on a level surface, then maybe your metronome is not keeping a steady beat. Some online metronomes are unreliable, too. For free online metronomes that keep a steady beat, visit www.MetronomeBot.com.
If it seems like your metronome is changing tempo while you are playing, it is more likely that you are not keeping a steady beat. If the metronome seems to speed up when you are playing harder sections and slow down when the music is easier, then you should listen more carefully and play with its tempo. Select a good tempo at which you can play the harder sections. When the music is easier, don’t rush, but be patient and feel the beat.
I don’t like playing with the metronome
If you don’t like playing with your metronome it’s probably because of one of the reasons mentioned above, but you are essentially saying that you don’t like to play at a steady tempo. The beat is the foundation of rhythm, and the metronome is the best tool we have to learn how to develop a good sense of beat. The metronome also keeps us honest, and if we listen carefully to it, we will know when we are speeding up or slowing down. Developing a good sense of beat will help you play better with other musicians, too.
I hate my metronome!
This comment is a bit extreme, but I have encountered students who say it. I tried to create metronomes that are more likable than the standard clicking boxes, and I have found that young students really like MetronomeBot. He talks and offers suggestions, but if you still don’t like him, you can poke him in the eye to vent your frustrations. He’s a robot and he doesn’t mind.
Here are some suggestions for beginners on how to become more accustomed to playing with a metronome:
Clap and count.
Set your metronome to a moderately slow tempo and clap on each beat. While clapping, count the beats for the time signatures of 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4. In other words, for 2/4 time, repeatedly count “one-two” while clapping on the beat. For 3/4 time, repeatedly count “one-two-three.” Do this at several tempos to feel the beat.
Create your own melodies.
After clapping and counting, play along with the metronome at an easy tempo. You can play anything that you like -- just stay with the beat of the metronome.
Visit www.Rhythm-In-Music.com for great rhythm practice patterns.
Play an easy piece that you know very well.
It’s even better if you have memorized it. Listen closely to the click of the metronome and make sure that you are in sync with it.
When learning new music, avoid playing too fast, too soon. See the post on how to determine what tempo to set your metronome.

As a student, having good manners and right conduct in school is important. The relationship between language and their behavior and conduct during their early school years is important. All students started with a similar level of internal and external behaviors during preschool. As students get older, fluent bilingual students show the least behavioral and conduct problems by fifth grade and their growth rate of problems regarding behavior is slower than monolinguals. On the other hand, American students who only speak English demonstrate the most behavioral and conduct problems by fifth grade and their growth rate of problems regarding behavior is faster than fluent bilinguals. Overall, bilingualism provides students with emotional and behavioral benefits. Bilingualism, creativity, and academic success have a strong relationship. Moreover, there is correlation between an individual’s creativity and how fluent he or she for both languages. Bilingualism can indirectly reflect one’s multicultural experiences. Bilingualism helps a student to be more creative and this study further enhances its importance. Being creative is connected to academic success because with experiences from two cultures, a student can solve a problem or look at the bigger picture of a question in multiple ways. Being creative is a technique to uniquely solve problems, a way to find answers using an uncommon path. All in all, bilingualism is a great way to increase one’s creativity and academic success.

The GE Global Research Center is a sprawling, high-tech, high-security campus where they develop jet engine technology, robotics, neural probes, and all sorts of futuristic technology, and… watch writers eat hot sauce, plus ice cream and donuts, for science.
I was put in the capable, slightly incredulous hands of the engineers of the non-destructive evaluations lab, Bryon Knight and Waseem Faidi. On the regular, they use thermal cameras to analyze jet engine parts for heat conduction, and then use this data to detect flaws in the part. So it was fair to say that they were more than qualified for this.
The NDE lab is filled with infrared cameras, ranging from high-end fixed cameras that cost roughly a hundred grand, to smartphone attachments that give a grainy thermal image. Calling these both “thermal cameras” is like saying the Hubble telescope works the same way as a disposable wedding camera, but all thermal cameras work off the same principle: anything hot produces infrared light. This light can’t be seen by humans (but can be seen by snakes, which is terrifying), but can be recorded on cameras to produce an image of where heat is coming from. For our purposes, we went with a FLIR 640 thermal camera (MSRP: $29,000...you know, mid-range).

Before the Zeeland Fire department was organized, fires were extinguished by the "Bucket Brigade" method, yet even this method would have proven ineffective against the fires of October 1871.
High winds and extensive drought conditions caused the disastrous fire in Chicago, the devastating fire in the small Dutch community of Holland and the furnace of fire just southwest of Zeeland. In the Holland fire, 76 business places, 243 homes, 5 churches, 3 hotels, 45 miscellaneous buildings, and 5 warehouses burned. There was a total loss of $900,000.
Preparing for Disaster
For three or four days a strong wind kept the townspeople alert to potential disaster. Many buried their belongings in the ground and prepared to evacuate their homes. It was indeed a blessing to the Zeelanders to have been spared the disaster which befell both Holland and Chicago.
Quote from H. Keppel
"With the dense smoke, heat and wind during the day and flames all over the sky at night, it was indeed a frightful time." ~ H. Keppel (1866-1918)

Now you know
What's in the air you breathe? Most of earth's atmosphere is nitrogen - about 78 percent of it. The next most abundant component is oxygen, at 21 percent. Those two account for 99 percent. What's the third most abundant element in air? You see it every day; mixed with nitrogen, it's used to fill incandescent light bulbs. (Some bulbs are vacuums, but inert gas makes the filament last longer.) The answer: argon. Argon was discovered in the 1890s by William Ramsay, a Scot, who later won the Nobel Prize. He and his co-workers isolated other rare gases in the atmosphere, too: neon, krypton, and xenon. Ramsay was the first to send an electric current through a tube of inert gas, creating the neon light.

Originally posted on the Vacaville Reporter: Whether the information comes to you from statistical studies or just from taking a look around, it is obvious that the United States is facing an obesity epidemic.
The facts are overwhelming; we have the second-highest obesity rate in the world and spend more than $190 billion a year treating obesity-related illnesses. If you think the battle over healthcare is a major issue today, imagine what is going to happen as obesity and other diet-related illnesses increase the need for high-cost medical services.
As with so many of the issues we face as a society, the answer is fairly straightforward, but is difficult to implement because it requires us to think and plan long term. It will require us to change patterns that have developed over decades.
For more than a generation, our diet has deteriorated as we’ve replaced fresh food with prepared ready-to-serve meals and fast food.We have saved time and created convenience, but our diets are now filled with processed and sugar-laden foods. The associated health issues we see today are taking a toll on our society.
We have saved time and created convenience, but our diets are now filled with processed and sugar-laden foods. The associated health issues we see today are taking a toll on our society.
This situation will not turn around overnight, but the conversation around the importance of improving our diets has at least begun and some progress has been made in our children’s school cafeterias.
The nutrition standards of school meals were updated in 2012 under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kid Act. These improved standards require more fruits, vegetables, and whole-grains and less sodium, fat and sugar in school lunches.
A survey done by the Pew Charitable Trust and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that 72 percent of parents support strong nutritional standards for school meals. Another study published in Childhood Obesity, found that 70 percent of middle school students and 63 percent of high school students like the more nutritious school meals.
Kids are being exposed to healthier food in their school lunches and they are gaining first-hand knowledge that healthy food can taste good.
Most of the children we serve at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano receive free or reduced costs lunches; making the meals they receive at school an important part of their diet.
By providing students healthier food on a regular basis, they are learning that fruits, vegetables and whole grains are an important part of a wholesome diet.
Furthermore, they are developing patterns that will fight obesity and other health-related illnesses.
We are doing the right thing when we feed our children well; we are setting them up to be healthy and successful.
A healthy school lunch is one of the best investments we make in the future of our society.

Ice On Great Lakes Continues To Shrink
The Great Lake's ice cover has gradually reduced by 30 percent since the 1970s, causing the biggest source of freshwater to become vulnerable to evaporation and poor water levels, say the scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The scientists are worried about how the placid winter weather may influence the environment. However, they are also working to come to terms with the juxtaposition of the situation. The barely freezing weather that may melt the lake ice could make freezing more likely to happen if lake levels fall from evaporation.Scientists at the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory state that the climate change fights against area weather patterns. Precisely calculating ice cover in a lake system that covers 94,000 square miles is a huge job, they add.
Their research demonstrates that even though the volume of ice cover can change from year to year, generally the ice coverage on the freshwater lakes is retreating, particularly in the deepest parts of Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario and Superior.
"The deeper the water, the greater the heat storage from summer, and it freezes later than the shallow areas," research Ray Assel stated to The Plain Dealer. "Now, increase the air temperature and the lake takes in more heat and stores it longer, to the point that many of the midlake areas are freezing over less."
Assel's research shows that ice configuration at nearshore regions has reduced less than in the deepest areas.
Researcher Jia Wang said the loss of lake ice can cause other problems, such as egg loss for fish, wearing away of coastal areas and less winter recreation.
There could be one benefit to the melted ice: shipping might become a possibility in the winter months. Shipping usually halts each year mid-January and reopens in late March.

Joe Shuster (July 10, 1914 - July 30, 1992) was born in Canada, but his family moved to the Cleveland area in the mid-1920s, when Shuster was 10 years old. Jerry Siegel (October 17, 1914 – January 28, 1996) was born in Cleveland. Both attended Glenville High School.
Siegel and Shuster were fans of science fiction, movies, and comics. They published a “fanzine” in the mid-1920s. Inspired by Philip Wylie's book, "Gladiator", about a mysterious character with superpowers and invulnerability, they created a strip for their fanzine (Shuster the artist, Siegel the writer) that featured a super-powered villain, but they later made him in a hero.
Here’s an interesting history of Siegel, Shuster, and Superman:
Superman came from two Cleveland teenagers with nothing but a shared dream and the ambition to tell a great story. Great Superman stories are the best of the bunch, and among the hardest to tell. Join us as we pay our respects to the folks who created, continued, shaped and reshaped the legend of Superman.
Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster
AKA: Two Boys From Cleveland
Who They Are:
Superman was the brainchild of two Depression-era Cleveland teenagers, Jerome Siegel (1914-1996) and Joseph Shuster (1914-1992). Jerry was born in Cleveland; Joe was born in Toronto. They met when they both attended Glenville High School, where Jerry worked on the student newspaper, The Torch. (Joe had worked as a newsboy for the Toronto Daily Star, so they could both claim a journalistic background.)
Jerry and Joe had a lot in common. They were both the children of Jewish immigrants. They were both shy and retiring young men, with perhaps more than their share of insecurity and hang-ups when it came to the opposite sex. They both loved science fiction and the fantastic stories of the pulps. They were not strangers to mortality, or to life's difficulties, or to the whips and scorns that led many to share their fantastic dream of a being with powers "far beyond those of mortal men." Jerry's father, Mitchell, a sign painter and haberdasher, had been murdered by a thief when Jerry was still in middle school. Joe would suffer from debilitating vision problems - making his work as a comic book artist extremely difficult - all his life. Cornered by an all-pervasive reality, Siegel and Shuster did not fear the impossible.
Jerry would write the stories, and Joe would draw them. Between the two of them they would create one of the most beloved fictional characters of the 20th century and inspire a new industry. That industry, in its turn, would populate American mythology with a rich pantheon of legendary figures that would cross the boundaries of the medium in which they were born, into the worlds of radio, television, film - and beyond. Before all that, however, they were two struggling creators who spent their share of lean years looking for a publisher.
Before the last son of Krypton ever appeared in a comic book or took a form we would recognize today, Siegel and Shuster introduced his precursor in "Reign of the Superman," a short tale they published in their early fanzine, the appropriately titled Science Fiction. This story, which features a brilliant scientist whose machinations grant awesome mental powers to derelict Bill Dunn, has few of the features fans would come to associate with the Man of Steel. The 'Superman' of the title is no hero, but a power-mad villain bent on world conquest. Dunn's power eventually fades, and he becomes a nonentity again (in a kind of 'Super-Powers for Algernon' twist). Yet there are bits and pieces of unearthed Superman arcana lying within this tale: the incredible power of science, super-powers and awesome feats, and a strange meteor rock from outer space (it is this substance which allows the scientist, Smalley, to give Dunn his powers).
Though the derelict Superman didn't fly, the character continued to germinate in Jerry's mind. No doubt influenced by many of the pulps, including Doc Savage ('Man of Bronze') and The Shadow (who had a secret identity and a girlfriend named 'Lane'), Jerry and Joe were also inspired by E. C. Segar's Thimble Theatre superhero, Popeye, whose adventures in a series of animated cartoons produced by Max Fleischer brought the hero's boisterous, energetic power to vivid life. Popeye had super-strength (albeit for a short, spinach-fueled duration), seeming invulnerability, and he moved like a dynamo across the screen. (Serendipity would bring Siegel's Superman to Fleischer Studios just a few short years after his first appearance in Action Comics #1.)
Superman's colorful costume may have been inspired by the outlandish outfits pulp artists usually drew on their adventurous spacefarers; or by the garb of circus performers, accustomed to perpetrating super-feats; or it may have come from Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon, popular in the mid-'30s; or it may be a combination of all of these. Superman's guise of Clark Kent was likely inspired (like the later Batman's guise of Bruce Wayne) by Douglas Fairbanks' Don Diego de la Vega in The Mark of Zorro, based on Johnston McCulley's great pulp character. Whatever their inspirations, Jerry's stories, drawn by Joe, were gradually taking the shape that would launch an industry. Yet the two young Clevelanders couldn't find a home for their Kryptonian.
Originally envisioning Superman as a newspaper strip - this was the heyday of the strips, after all, a fecund era for such legends as Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annie, and Popeye, among many others - Siegel and Shuster sent their hero to any syndicate or potential publisher they could find. In those days it was rejection, and not Kryptonite, that thwarted the Man of Steel more often than not. Eventually, of course, the pair hit on a bit of luck - they found a publisher in the person of Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson.
Wheeler-Nicholson was trying to compete in the budding comic book industry. At that time, comics generally consisted of reprints of newspaper strips, compounded into book form and sold on the newsstand as an ersatz collection. Wheeler-Nicholson was publishing original material - not so much because he was trying to inaugurate a new industry as because he couldn't afford the syndicate material. Jerry and Joe's first work for Wheeler-Nicholson appeared in New Fun Comics, an adventure strip featuring 'Henry Duval, Soldier of France,' a foppish dandy in the tradition of Percy Blakeney. (Other early Siegel and Shuster creations who would find their way into the pages of the nascent DC comics included Dr. Occult and Slam Bradley, both of whom are still around today.)
Finally, Superman was slated to appear as the cover feature in Action Comics #1 (June 1938). The issue was a huge success, and it took National (the future DC) a while to figure out why. Minions were dispatched to the newsstands, and word came back that "the book with Superman in it" was flying off the stands. In short order, Superman would appear on every Action cover and by 1939 in a second title, Superman. A veritable slew of imitators would emerge (most notably, DC's Batman, Timely's Captain America, and Fawcett's Captain Marvel), and the rest would be history.
Jerry and Joe had hit the jackpot - or had they? Unlike the canny Bob Kane (Batman's co-creator), Siegel and Shuster had, in their eagerness to find a publisher, sold the bulk of their rights to the character to National. Both creators would fight their own 'never-ending battle' to garner a piece of the Superman pie. In 1946, Jerry and Joe sued National for the rights to the character, gaining only Superboy (which had been, in its earliest form, Jerry's idea), after a two-year fight. They sold the Boy of Steel to the company for $100,000 and were kicked out of the Fortress for a full decade. An attempt to recreate their success with a new character - the uniquely unamusing Funnyman - met with failure. Joe's vision would fade, limiting his ability to get work, and Jerry frequently wrote under pseudonyms - though he did return to DC in the late '50s and in the early '60s wrote some of the best Silver Age Superman stories ever penned.
In 1975, with Superman set to fly on the big screen and earn DC's parent company, Warner Communications, even more incredible revenues, Jerry launched a public relations campaign to draw attention to the short shrift he and Joe had been given. Ultimately, Jerry and Joe would regain their credit (missing for years from comics, film and TV appearances) and a small stipend of $35,000 a year for the rest of their lives. Yet Siegel and Shuster's troubled relationship with DC Comics remains a black mark on the company's history and serves as a cautionary tale for young, up-and-coming comics creators.
Joe passed away in 1992 and Jerry in 1996. Behind them they left a legacy - a character who inspires, and who will continue to inspire, billions of people. They also labored over a cornerstone of what would become the AOL Time Warner Empire. Superman, 'champion of the oppressed,' destroyer of slums and challenger of the status quo, is the property of a massive corporation.
See Superman Returns. When those extremely important words come up - "Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster" - do your part for the cause of truth, justice, and the American way. Remember the boys from Cleveland.
While I don’t have an address for the Shuster house, the Siegel House is easy to find. The address of the Siegel home where Superman was “conceived” is 10622 Kimberly Avenue, and is currently listed as a Cleveland Landmark. Sadly, though, it’s not quite getting the attention it deserves from the city of Cleveland, as you’ll read in the following article.
Superman was created in Cleveland, but you might need X-ray vision to see the evidence
James A. Finley/Associated Press
Superman towers over the town square in Metropolis, Ill., where residents have claimed the DC Comics hero as their own. (In spite of his roots here in Cleveland.)
It's another Summer of Superman in Metropolis, Ill., a sleepy Ohio River town of 6,500 whose main link to the Man of Steel -- OK, whose only link -- is the name of his fictional city. They make the most of it. DC Comics and the Illinois legislature declared it the "Hometown of Superman," and the local paper was renamed the Metropolis Planet. There's a 15-foot-tall bronze Superman statue. And this year, marking the 70th anniversary of Superman's debut on the cover of Action Comics No. 1, they also tried to set a world's record for the most people dressed in Superman outfits.
But in Cleveland -- where a couple of Glenville teenagers actually created Superman 75 years ago -- the comparatively muted observances have been more Smallville than Metropolis.
-- Superman memorabilia was featured at the North Coast Comic Con in May.
-- "Last Son," Brad Ricca's documentary film about Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, was screened last weekend at IngenuityFest.
-- The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage will present the traveling exhibition "Zap! Pow! Bam! The Superhero: The Golden Age of Comic Books, 1938-1950" from Tuesday, Sept. 16, through Sunday, Jan. 4.
-- And Northeast Ohio cartoonist Tom Batiuk will begin a three-week Superman-themed story in his "Funky Winkerbean" strip starting Monday, Aug. 11.
Positively Cleveland, the area's convention and visitors bureau, staged a meeting of civic leaders in January to plot a celebration, spurred by a commentary in The Plain Dealer by comics columnist Michael Sangiacomo lamenting Superman's neglect. They dismissed talk of a Superman statue -- an idea first raised in a Plain Dealer column in 1978 -- or museum.
But organizers squabbled, and a longer lead time was needed to get permissions for sanctioned events from DC Comics parent Time Warner.
"We just couldn't get it done this summer," said Terry Stewart, president and chief executive officer of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and a former head of DC's rival Marvel Entertainment. "People are looking to the future. Hopefully, it does move forward."
"There are people who won't settle for anything less than a big statue in a prominent place, as though that makes it all official," said Dennis Dooley, co-author of the book "Superman at Fifty: The Persistence of a Legend."
"But there ought to be some recognition, and there is. Superman probably is the most famous character to come out of here. If you went to China and showed them pictures of Strawberry Shortcake or Chef Boyardee, they'd have no idea. If you showed them Superman, they'd know. It's a universal figure. It's natural for places to want to claim their share of their glory."
Cleveland once did, especially when its ties to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were stronger and fresher. The two were celebrities in the early 1940s, when they still lived in town -- both had moved from Glenville to University Heights -- and when newspapers called Superman "the now famous Man of Steel." They produced Superman with a staff of five artists in a one-room office in Cleveland.
Siegel, the writer who ran to pal Shuster's house one dawn after coming up with Superman -- "I am lying in bed counting sheep when all of a sudden it hits me" -- was sworn into the Army in 1943 as part of the July 4th Festival of Freedom at Cleveland Stadium. When he divorced and remarried in 1948, he asked the license bureau to keep it quiet until columnist Walter Winchell could break the story.
Siegel and Shuster had sold the rights to Superman for $130 in 1938, after trying unsuccessfully to market the comic on their own, but they still were writing and drawing under contract.
In 1947, before their contract expired, they sued to regain the rights and a share of profits. They won a limited settlement, but their claim was rejected. They lost their jobs, and their bylines were dropped. Years of bitterness and frustration followed.
They were living in New York by then, though Siegel later went to Los Angeles. Cleveland was left with few tangible links to Superman, if any, beyond the guessing game of which Glenville High School students might have been the models for Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Or how much of their own Depression-era experience, as the bespectacled and nerdy sons of immigrants, influenced their creation of a "strange visitor from another planet."
Shuster said the model for Metropolis was not Cleveland, where his family moved when he was 10, but his native Toronto. The Daily Planet, he said, came from the Toronto Daily Star.
Los Angeles was the recognizable stand-in for Metropolis on "The Adventures of Superman" on TV through the 1950s.
Superman himself was being eclipsed by other comics superheroes until "Superman: The Movie" went into development in 1974, with a supersized budget and A-list stars.
Siegel came out of seclusion to put a curse on the movie, and launched a campaign with the nearly blind Shuster to protest their treatment by DC. A settlement gave them "created by" credit on all Superman properties, and paid each a $20,000 annual "pension."
And just as Superman helped create the modern comic-book business more than a generation earlier, the movie's release in 1978 paved the way for a new type of superhero film.
But while the movie revived Cleveland's interest and pride in a fictional native son, its unbilled co-star was New York City.
Metropolis, Ill., had only recently staked its claim as Superman's "hometown." When the editor of its Planet was asked what place Siegel and Shuster would have there, he said, "I don't believe I've ever heard of them."
Being second with the claim, like someone who found an old deed in the attic, didn't boost Cleveland's super-status. Neither did the fact that the city was entering hard and fractious times politically and economically when the idea of a Superman monument was first raised.
A nonprofit group formed in the 1980s to build a statue tied to Superman's 50th anniversary and the release of "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace," the last and cheapest of the series. Comics sales were sagging, the movie bombed, and the group went bust.
An aide to one prominent local officeholder said any smart politician would support efforts to recognize Superman, but taking the lead would be difficult "when we've got problems of poverty, schools, crime and employment."
"The city is challenged to raise money for so many things," Terry Stewart said.
But the effort hasn't died. Dooley thinks it shouldn't, no more than Superman has.
"A lot of characters bite the dust," he said, noting the fading of heroes like Straight Arrow, Green Arrow and Aquaman. "Superman and Batman are always riveting. The stories get reappropriated and reworked by another generation.
"Popular culture embodies things we believe in or yearn for."
Or the things that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster believed in and yearned for. In Cleveland. Which remembers.

Novel's Superman lore a bit weak on the facts
Posted by Patrick O'Donnell and Michael Sangiacomo August 27, 2008 01:00AM

Superman's 15-foot statue looks over the town of Metropolis, Ill. An upcoming book by Brad Metzler suggests a new set of circumstances surrounding the orgin of th iconic character.
It's a tale worthy of ... well, a comic book.
A shopkeeper is gunned down in a robbery of his store. His son, while not going on a vigilante rampage himself, seeks justice in a more symbolic way: He invents the ultimate crime-fighting superhero ever, Superman, to be his instrument of vengeance.
If true, it would be a blockbuster.
But is it?
The buzz circulating in the comic world this week, and highlighted Tuesday in USA Today, is that Superman was inspired by the death of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel's father during a 1932 robbery of his store.
Novelist Brad Meltzer found some details around that robbery too eerie to be coincidence. And he's milking them for all they're worth as he promotes his upcoming book, which uses the Siegel family and its home on Kimberly Avenue here in Cleveland for a conspiracy tale.
"I still believe the world got Superman because this kid lost his father," Meltzer said. "Is it just a coincidence that Michel died and within a short time, his son creates the world's greatest superhero?"
After all, superheroes like Spiderman and Batman started fighting crime after relatives were murdered. The story behind the Superman stories would make a great comic book itself.
But though it is true that Michel Siegel, 59, died during a robbery, there is no evidence beyond confused family legend that he was shot. The man, sometimes referred to as Mitchell, actually died of a heart attack.
Jerry Siegel also never connected his father's death to Superman before he himself died in 1996. And his widow Joanne, doesn't think the robbery made Siegel or his co-creating friend Joe Shuster invent Superman to fight such crimes.
"Jerry said his father had a heart attack after the robbery," she said Tuesday. "I don't think that it inspired him (to create Superman]. How many people whose fathers have died have inspired them to do anything at all?"
There are conflicting accounts about exactly how Siegel came up with the notion of Superman while a student at Glenville High School. Late in his life, he said it came to him one hot July night as he lay in bed unable to sleep.
Though Superman was not published until 1938, he and Shuster started work on the idea in either 1932 or 1933.
In that period -- the night of June 2, 1932 -- police were called to his father's second-hand clothing store at 3560 Central Ave. According to the police report, three men came into the shop and walked out with a suit without paying.
Michel Siegel, 59, collapsed in the store and died.
"At no time were any blows struck or any weapons used," the report states.
The death certificate says Siegel had chronic myocarditis and died of heart failure. It reports no bullet wounds.
Marlene Goodman and Irving Siegel, both cousins of Jerry Siegel, said most family members knew the truth, but some thought Michel was shot.
"I remember an aunt telling me there was a shooting and I think I passed that on to a writer," Irving Siegel said.
Michel Siegel's death in the robbery was part of a previous book, "Men of Tomorrow," published in 2004.
Meltzer, however, uses the shooting legend in his new novel, "Book of Lies." The killing is a plot point for the murder/espionage novel, which comes out Sept. 2.
Meltzer said he believes the death was pivotal to the creation of Superman. He points to an unpublished comic book cover from 1933 showing Superman stopping a robbery of a merchant, who Meltzer says looks like Michel Siegel.
"This would have been written soon, perhaps even weeks, after his dad's death," he said. "It had to be related."
Then in scanning through microfiche copies of The Plain Dealer from 1932, Meltzer found a letter to the editor the day after Michel Siegel's death signed by an A.L. Luther.
"Is this where he came up with Lex Luthor?" he asked.
The villain from the comics, however, was spelled Luthor, not Luther. The name Lex did not appear until the 1960s.
Though titled "Vigilantes Not Needed," the letter has nothing to do with Siegel's death or any particular crimes. It decries vigilantism and calls for nationalizing police under Army generals.
Brad Ricca, a lecturer at Case Western Reserve University and director of a Siegel, Shuster and Superman documentary called "Last Son," said Siegel drew inspiration for Superman from many sources. He said the costume has a bit of Flash Gordon, the hair of Tarzan and weightlifter's boots.
"When his dad died, Jerry knew he had to do something to help support himself and his mother," Ricca said. "He created Superman by drawing on everything that was all around him, including his dad."
He added: "There is a scene in the second issue of Superman where he is standing at the grave of his adoptive parents, promising them that he would do good. This made me think of Jerry's father and how this was Jerry's way of promising to make something of himself."
So why all this attention now? Widow Joanne Siegel says it's all because of the new books.
"You know how writers are, they say things," she said.

Update September 2, 2008
Today’s Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that an online auction to benefit the restoration of Jerry Siegel’s Cleveland home in the Glenville neighborhood will begin today. More information about the auction can be found at the “Ordinary People Change the World” web site, here.
You can also see a video on this topic, below, which includes comments from Brad Meltzer, author of “Book of Lies”, that also includes a look at the current state of the home, which isn’t very good on the inside.

When everyone thinks of an arcade in Cleveland, they think of “The” Arcade, (above) which sits between Euclid Avenue and Superior, and is now part of the Hyatt Regency hotel. Of course, it is an impressive building. But there are two other, smaller arcades very close by on the other side of Euclid Avenue that deserves more attention and respect than they get.
Built in 1898, The Colonial Arcade originally connected Euclid Avenue with the Colonial Hotel (now the Residence Inn). It was designed by George Smith (who also helped design “The” Arcade) in the Georgian Revival Style. The neighboring Euclid Arcade was built in 1908 in the Classical Roman Style. (I am unable to verify who designed the Euclid Arcade.)
As part of the Colonial Marketplace development in 2000, a food court was added to connect the Colonial and Euclid Arcades in 2000 as part of a $60 million renovation project, and a Residence Inn was opened at the location.
Cityprowl Cleveland has a short walking tour map of this area that you can access via this link. All three arcades are just a short walk east of Cleveland's Public Square, near East 4th Street.
So if your looking for a nice walking trip before the end if summer – or anytime for that manner – check out these lovely arcades.

"The Rocker" Preview Clip from the Film's YouTube Channel
Rainn Wilson pounds and preens for laughs as 'The Rocker'
by Clint O'Connor/Plain Dealer Film Critic
Friday August 15, 2008, 8:00 AM
Rainn Wilson rocks.
As Dwight on "The Office." As the wisecracking convenience store worker in "Juno." And as Robert "Fish" Fishman, the bitter hair-metal-drummer-turned-rockin'-role-model in the new comedy "The Rocker," which opens nationwide Wednesday.
Wilson plays drums, cavorts with Christina Applegate, jams with Teddy Geiger and generally has a rowdy good time in the flick that is set in Cleveland. He was here last summer shooting a few scenes. But before we get to all of that we need to establish "The Rocker's" vaunted position in the pantheon of great drummer movies. Such as they are.
"This is the first movie ever about a rock drummer," said Wilson, 42, in his deadest deadpan tone. "It's the second movie ever about a drummer, preceded by 'The Gene Krupa Story.' Now you see, Sal Mineo was brutally stabbed to death on a Hollywood street, and he played Gene Krupa in the 'The Gene Krupa Story.' "
"I hope that is not my fate."
Mineo was, in fact, murdered. But it was 17 years after the Krupa movie was released. Wilson is therefore safely absolved from the playing-a-drummer-in-a-drummer-movie curse. We think.
"The Rocker" opens in 1988 when Fish was the kick-ass drummer for Vesuvius. Just as the hair-metal band is about to strike it rich, they dump him. Twenty years later we find Fish stuck in a mindless job in Cleveland, living in his sister's attic. He seeks his rock-revenge through his nephew, Matt (Josh Gad) and Matt's band, A.D.D., which features Curtis (real-life heartthrob singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger), and Amelia (Emma Stone from "Superbad").
Wilson was not well-versed in metal. "I really, thankfully, slept through the mid- '80s," he said on the phone from Chicago. "At that point I'd gotten into the Clash and Elvis Costello and REM and XTC. But since coming back to it, I realized [heavy metal bands] made rock more accessible, fun and just a rockin' great time. We could use a little more of that today. I think rock musicians tend to take themselves a little too seriously."
As part of his pre-film prep, Wilson was given a drum set and a drum coach.
"Not only did I learn how to drum, but I had to learn how to capture the essence of the heavy-metal drummer. If drummers are dumb, then heavy-metal drummers are preening idiots," he said.
"I had to learn how to physicalize that. But it really helped me define the character. There's something about the mentality of someone who likes to sit behind other people and thump on things and make incredibly loud noises."
Geiger was the only real musician in A.D.D. (and he sings most of the songs in the film). "Everyone was taking lessons, so they all kind of learned at least the songs in the movie," said Geiger before a gig at the Agora last month. "Watching back, I think it looks good. You wouldn't know they had just learned to play their instruments."
Wilson had a head start. In high school he played in a band called Collected Moss.
"It was the worst cover band you could ever imagine. I was the lead singer, and we did covers of 'Magic Carpet Ride,' 'Fire on the Mountain,' and bunch of other crazy songs. I actually grew up playing a lot of instruments. I played piano and clarinet, saxophone, and -- yes, Cleveland -- even the bassoon. I am maybe the first bassoonist that you've ever interviewed."
This is true.
Most of "The Rocker" was filmed in Toronto, but Wilson and a small contingent zipped down to Cleveland last August for two days to shoot some exteriors -- the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Public Square, Browns Stadium and Jacobs Field before the name change.
Two days. Plenty of time to catch the Cleveland vibe.
"There was a hail storm," said Wilson. "It had been like 90 degrees outside and all of a sudden it was hailing, and it was hailing like the size of grapefruits, thundering down on the cars below, and I thought, 'This is some crazy-ass weather. And this is the summer? I wonder what the winters are like here.' "
Churning "The Rocker" out quickly on a relatively small budget (about $15 million) meant lengthy hours. "It was exhausting, about 15 hours a day six days a week," said Wilson. "But it was so worth it. It's a sweet, coming-of-age comedy. I think it's refreshing in these days of either really broad, dumb comedies, or R-rated giant sketch comedies, to have a really small human story."
Wilson was in Chicago promoting "The Rocker," then was headed to Los Angeles to film a brief appearance in "Transformers 2," before shooting new episodes of "The Office." The fifth season launches on NBC at 9 p.m. Sept. 25.
"The Rocker" is a big switch for Wilson. He usually plays the oddball supporting character. Now he's the lead, responsible for carrying an entire film.
Of course, most people know him as Dwight Schrute, Dunder Mifflin's bungling sycophant. I asked Wilson if he was cool with that being his signature part, with people screaming, "Hey, Dwight!" when they see him.
"You know, unlike Lindsay Lohan, I got famous at around age 37 or 38, so I have been around for a long time," he said.
"The fact that I'm now on a TV show that's taken off and is really high quality and that people love, I could not be more thrilled and more grateful. What a great job I get to do. I get to play a really memorable character. I get to show up with a bad haircut and be really annoying, and do some really off the wall stuff. And I love it."

Looking back on these shows (there are some clips below), they were amateurish and frankly, not that great compared to today’s standards. But, they served their purpose; they kept the kids captivated and hopefully out of mom’s hair for a while. Since there were six children in my family, my mother had to keep these shows just to keep her own sanity. I think she had a crush on Captain Penny, though.
And who can forget some of their tag lines or themes:
You can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool Mom. She's pretty nice and she's pretty smart.
“If anybody calls, tell them Barnaby said 'hello, 'and tell them I think you are the nicest person in the whole world…just you.”
Mister Jingeling how you tingeling

The Rose-Mary Center has been serving the Cleveland area for many years. It is a non-profit organization that was established in 1922, serving children with physical handicaps such as polio and cerebral palsy. In 1967, it updated its focus, due to medical advances and the changing needs of the community, and began to serve children with mental and developmental disabilities. In 1989, they also included adults with similar disabilities.
The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History provides some detail of the Center’s early history:
The Rose-Mary Center, which began in 1922 as a home for crippled children, has provided residential evaluation and treatment for multi-handicapped children ages 3-12. Before 1922 Catholic crippled children were cared for at the Episcopal Holy Cross House. When a change in policy limited services to Episcopalians, Caesar Grasselli [president and chairman of the board of Grasselli Chemical] offered his Euclid 7-acre summer residence (at 19350 Euclid Ave.) to the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, in memory of his wife, Johanna, an invalid for many years. The home, with a capacity of 24, was named for its first patron, a crippled orphan found in Youngstown shortly after birth. The Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary staffed the home; the Catholic Daughters of America performed maintenance and raised funds; and Grasselli, who visited each week, provided equipment and furnishings. Rose-Mary Home pioneered modern treatment to correct physical handicaps of children with healthy minds. Through physical therapy, disabled children re-educated weak muscles and achieved as close to normal function as possible. The homelike setting included furnishings and utensils specially designed for the young residents. In 1943 the adjacent William Delaney house and property were acquired and used for staff sleeping quarters. A new building on the same site was completed in 1949 with Catholic Charities Corp. funds. The facility concentrated all activities under one roof and permitted care of up to 50 children.
The mission statement for The Rose-Mary Center (also known as Johanna Grasselli Rehabilitation and Education Center) says that the “Rose-Mary Center assists and empowers individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities to achieve a life of increasing abilities and personal fulfillment thereby becoming more independent and integrated members of the community. The Center supports and joins with families in this pursuit.” Rose-Mary works hard in the care of these children and adults to help them focus on their activities of daily living, mobility, and helping in behavior management, social skills, and communication. This is a 24/7 responsibility, as the children and adults who are living at the center or in one of their group homes need varied, specialized care during the day AND night. Besides the main Center For Children, there are also several group homes for adults in the Cleveland area.
But to me, the Rose-Mary Center is much more than just the service it provides. Several years ago, a member of my family was in need of their help, and the Rose-Mary Center stepped up to the challenge. It is always difficult for any family to admit that they are unable to care for a child with special needs, especially one with severe disabilities and behavioral issues. The people at The Rose-Mary Center provided the critical support needed to help my family member overcome many issues and helped him to thrive, despite the fact that he will never be anywhere near “normal”. And while his care will likely require specialized attention for his lifetime, The Rose-Mary Center has worked hard to help him perform some tasks that many people simply take for granted, such as simply being able to grasp a spoon to help feed himself. In the several years I have known the employees of the Center, I can tell you that they provide something that is priceless, and that is the love for the people that reside there. It is as if each resident has his or her own group of guardian angels tending to their needs and helping them to learn new skills.
As you can imagine, the level of care that is required for residents of Rose-Mary is quite expensive, and financial support from the government does not cover all their needs. This is why community support and involvement are so important in helping sustain their work. And the one thing I do know about Cleveland area residents is that they are always willing to help those in need. If you, your company, or your school, are looking for a cause to support, please consider The Rose-Mary Center – and I’ll consider you to be an honorary angel if you do!

Cleveland makes another list, this one from Forbes Magazine, calling Cleveland one of “America’s Fastest-Dying Cities”.
More specifically, in the pictorial summary of the cities, they list the area as the “Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio, metropolitan statistical area.” And I am not quite sure of the location of photo of Cleveland that they used (see below), but it hardly represents the region. (If they wanted to make us look bad, they should have used the Howard Johnson’s building.)
If the people from Forbes Magazine read this blog, they would know there is a lot more to Cleveland than one desolate looking photograph. In fact, I would venture to say that Forbes Magazine knows nothing about the Cleveland area at all.
I was born in Cleveland, and I happen to live in Mentor, and I can verify there is a lot of life in this area. Maybe if Forbes Magazine measured attendance in the sports venues such as The Q, Progressive Field, and Cleveland Browns Stadium, they wouldn’t see evidence of a dying city. More examples of healthy life are: the booming medical facilities and the fact that people come here from around the world for health care; the recent renovations at the Cleveland Museum of Art; The Euclid Corridor Project; the wonderful Lake Erie life, Cleveland’s beautiful architecture; The Cleveland Metroparks; University Circle; a world-class orchestra; well, I could go on and on. Of course, let’s not forget that my current hometown of Mentor is far from dead, thank you. Mentor is 6th in retail sales for Ohio, there are many new homes continuing to be built to meet demand of a growing population, and we have a lot of tourism. When I navigate traffic on Mentor Avenue on a daily basis, I frequently see license plates from out of state and Canada. This city is quite alive.
Here’s what Forbes had to say:
“America’s Fastest-Dying Cities”.
Joshua Zumbrun 08.05.08, 6:00 AM ET
Washington, D.C. - The turmoil of the mortgage market granted a temporary reprieve from hearing about the woes of America's Rust Belt. That doesn't mean things are better. Despite a decade of national prosperity, the former manufacturing backbone of the U.S. is in rougher shape than ever, still searching for some way to replace its long-stilled smokestacks.
Where's it worst? Ohio, according to our analysis, which racked up four of the 10 cities on our list: Youngstown, Canton, Dayton and Cleveland. The runner-up is Michigan, with two cities--Detroit and Flint--making the ranking.
These, and four other metropolitan statistical areas, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, face fleeing populations, painful waves of unemployment and barely growing economies. By our measure, they've struggled the worst of any areas in the nation in the 21st century. And they face even bleaker futures.
It wasn't always this way. Despite years of economic decline, in the first years of the new century the employment situation did not look so bad--3% to 4% unemployment was the norm, along the lines of metropolitan areas elsewhere in the country. The rest of the decade was not so kind. Thanks to a crushing downturn for automakers like General Motors and Ford, Detroit and Flint, Mich., have seen unemployment approach 10%.
Another brutal statistic all the cities share is a diminishing population. So far this decade, 115,000 people have left Cleveland, for other climes. Smaller changes in other regions can be just as painful. Nearly 30,000 people have left Youngstown, Ohio, and they aren't being replaced by either new babies or new immigrants.
Still, the cities we found to be struggling don't vary widely by age, and this factor had little influence in the rankings. The oldest city in our top 10, Scranton, Pa., had 45% of its population over 45; the youngest, Flint had 38% over 45.
The worst news is, of course, economic. When we looked at the most recent gross domestic product estimates for 155 metropolitan statistical areas estimated to have $10 billion or more GDP in 2005--economies about the size of Asheville, N.C., or Tallahassee, Fla.--the news was predictably terrible for the Rust Belt.
In the fall of 2007, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) published its GDP estimates from 2001 to 2005. Nearly every city in the country grew during this period (New Orleans, devastated from Hurricane Katrina, was the notable exception), but the struggling cities on our list grew more sluggishly. None of them grew more than 1.9% a year, versus a nationwide average of 2.7%. Canton, Ohio, managed to grow its economy just 0.7% annually. Flint was worse still at 0.4%.
None of these cities now face the huge declines in real estate prices seen by Phoenix, Miami or Las Vegas, where the Case-Shiller Home Price Index shows nearly 30% declines from a year ago. Detroit is off only about 15%, Cleveland only 8%. Don't call it a bright spot. Prices never went up in the first place.
Cleveland’s health is a lot more than just a few statistics like population, unemployment, or mortgage trouble. Sure, the city and the area suffer from those problems, but that doesn’t mean that those people who remain, or who are working here, or whose homes haven’t been foreclosed, are letting the city or the metro area die. It’s superficial lists like Forbes' that do more harm to a city’s reputation than anything else. A city is more than just the sum of a few statistics, it’s about the people who live there and the care, feeding, and support they give to their city. And while Cleveland may be poor right now in things like jobs or with mortgage foreclosures, we aren’t even close to needing life support.
But I think we should all pull the plug on Forbes Magazine, don't you?

Joe Shuster (July 10, 1914 - July 30, 1992) was born in Canada, but his family moved to the Cleveland area in the mid-1920s, when Shuster was 10 years old. Jerry Siegel (October 17, 1914 – January 28, 1996) was born in Cleveland. Both attended Glenville High School.
Siegel and Shuster were fans of science fiction, movies, and comics. They published a “fanzine” in the mid-1920s. Inspired by Philip Wylie's book, "Gladiator", about a mysterious character with superpowers and invulnerability, they created a strip for their fanzine (Shuster the artist, Siegel the writer) that featured a super-powered villain, but they later made him in a hero.
Here’s an interesting history of Siegel, Shuster, and Superman:
Superman came from two Cleveland teenagers with nothing but a shared dream and the ambition to tell a great story. Great Superman stories are the best of the bunch, and among the hardest to tell. Join us as we pay our respects to the folks who created, continued, shaped and reshaped the legend of Superman.
Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster
AKA: Two Boys From Cleveland
Who They Are:
Superman was the brainchild of two Depression-era Cleveland teenagers, Jerome Siegel (1914-1996) and Joseph Shuster (1914-1992). Jerry was born in Cleveland; Joe was born in Toronto. They met when they both attended Glenville High School, where Jerry worked on the student newspaper, The Torch. (Joe had worked as a newsboy for the Toronto Daily Star, so they could both claim a journalistic background.)
Jerry and Joe had a lot in common. They were both the children of Jewish immigrants. They were both shy and retiring young men, with perhaps more than their share of insecurity and hang-ups when it came to the opposite sex. They both loved science fiction and the fantastic stories of the ulps. They were not strangers to mortality, or to life's difficulties, or to the whips and scorns that led many to share their fantastic dream of a being with powers "far beyond those of mortal men." Jerry's father, Mitchell, a sign painter and haberdasher, had been murdered by a thief when Jerry was still in middle school. Joe would suffer from debilitating vision problems - making his work as a comic book artist extremely difficult - all his life. Cornered by an all-pervasive reality, Siegel and Shuster did not fear the impossible.
Үerry would write the stories, and Joe would draw them. Between the two of them they would create one of the most beloved fictional characters of the 20th century and inspire a new industry. That industry, in its turn, would populate American mythology with a rich pantheon of legendary figures that would cross the boundaries of the medium in which they were born, into the worlds of radio, television, film - and beyond. Before all that, however, they were two struggling creators who spent their share of lean years looking for a publisher.
Before the last son of Krypton ever appeared in a comic book or took a form we would recognize today, Siegel and Shuster introduced his precursor in "Reign of the Superman," a short tale they published in their early fanzine, the appropriately titled Science Fiction. This story, which features a brilliant scientist whose machinations grant awesome mental powers to derelict Bill Dunn, has few of the features fans would come to associate with the Man of Steel. The 'Supږrman' of th title is no hero, but a power-mad villain bent on world conquest. Dunn's power eventually fades, and he becomes a nonentity again (in a kind of 'Super-Powers for Algernon' twist). Yet there are bits and pieces of unearthed Superman arcana lying within this talү: the incredible power of science, super-powers and awesome feats, and a strange meteor rock from outer space (it is this substance which allows the scientist, Smalley, to give Dunn his powers).
Though the dereגict Superman didn't fly, the character continued to germinate in Jerry's mind. No doubt influenced by many of the pulps, including Doc Savage ('Man of Bronze') and The Shadow (who had a secret identity and a girlfriend named 'Lane'), Jerry and Joe were also inspired by E. C. Segar's Thimble Theatre superhero, Popeye, whose adventures in a series of animated cartoons produced by Max Fleischer brought the hero's boisterous, energetic power to vivid life. Popeye had super-strength (albeit for a short, spinach-fueled duration), seeming invulnerability, and he moved like a dynamo acroٝs the screen. (Serendipity would bring Siegel's Superman to Fleischer Studios just a few short years after his first appearance in Action Comiӈs #1.)
Superman's colorful costume may have been inspired by the outlandish outfits pulp artists usually drew on their adventurous spacefaԣers; or by the garb of circus performers, accustomed to perpetrating super-feats; or it may have come from Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon, popular in the mid-'30s; or it may be a combination of all of these. Superman's guise of Clark Kent was likely inspired (like the later Batman's guise of Bruce Wayne) by Douglas Fairbanks' Don Diego de la Vega in The Mark ofȿZorro, based on Johnston McCulley's great pulp character. Whatever their inspirations, Jerry's stories, drawn by Joe, were gradually taking the shape that would launch an industry. Yet the two young Clevelanders couldn't find a home for their Kryptonian.
Originally envisioning Superman as a newspaper striЯ - this was the heyday of tοe strips, after all, a fecund era for ܀uch legends as Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annie, and Popeye, among many others - Siegel and Shuster sent their hero to any syndicate or potential publisher they could find. In those days it was rejection, and not Kryptonite, that thwarted the Man of Steel more often than not. Eventually, of course, the pa̾r hit on a bit of luck - they found a publ̸sher in the person of Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson.
Wheeler-Nicholson was trying to compete in the budding comic book industry. At that time, comics generally consisted of reprints of newspaper strips,Νcompounded inȡo book form and sȼld܍on the newsstand as an ersatz colˤec՝ion. Wheeler-Nicholson was publishing origˤnal material - not o much because he was trying to inaugurate a new industry as because he couldn't afford the syndicate material. Jerry and Joe's first work for Wheҍler-Nicholson appeared in New Fun Comics, an adventureϳstrip featuring 'Henry Duval, Soldier of Fra˅ce,' a foppish dandy in the tradition of Pڙrcy Blakeney.߱(Other eգrly Siegel and Shusteʈ creations who wouldυfind their way into the ʃages of the nascent DC comicˣ included Dr. Occult and Slam Bradley, both of whom are still around today.)
FinaԶly, Superman was slated to ap߲ear as the cover feature in Action Comics #1 (June 1938). The issue was a huge success, and it took National (ڄhe future DC) a while to figure out why. Minions were disp˴tched toͿthe newsstands, and word came back that "the book with Superman in it" was flɋing off the sշǧnds. In short order, Superman would appear on evڹry Action cover anϻ by 1939 in a second Ͼitle, Superman. A veritable slew of imitators would emerge (most notably, DC's Batman, Timely's Captain AmeriМa, and Faƌcett's Captain Marvel), and the rest would be history.
Jerry and Joe had hit the jackpot - or had they? Unlike the canny Bob Kanׄ (Batman's co-creator), Siegel and Shusterںhad, in their eagerness to find a publisher, soʙd the bulk of their rights to the character toNa̦ional. Both creators would fight their own 'never-endiȕg battle' to g۠rner a piece of the Superman pie. In 1946, Jerry and Joe sued National for the right، to the characteׁ, gaining only SupΛrboy (wڠich had been, in its earliest form, Jerry's idea), after ҵ two-yeշrϏfight. They sold the Boyؼof Steel to tܽeѦcompany for $100,000 and were kicked out of the Fortress for a fulɱ decade. An attempt toޑrecreaՙe their success with a new character - the uniquely unamusinܱ Fuʉnyman - met with failure. Joe's vision would fade,֨limiting ϱiھ ʰbilityՉto get work, and Jerry freݝuently wrәte under pseudonyms ԙ though he did return to DC in the late '50s and Ըn ݭhe early '60s wroŔe someݝof the best SiҰver Age SupeǕman stories ever penned.

Looking ڶack on ݬҖe˥e shows (there are sџΆe clips belowӡ, they were amđteurisDZ and frankly, not that gԔܲat ̖omparحd to today’s standards.

Since there were sؓx ch߉ldreͤ in my family, mѡ ٓother had to keΑp these shows just to˼keep her own sanity. I think she had a crush on ΞaptaiϜ Penܧy, though.
And who can forget some of their tٽg lines orɥthemes:

The Rose-Mary Center has been serving the Cleveland area for many years. It is a ̭on-profit organization that was established in 1922, servinɇ children with physical handicaps such as polio and cerebral palsy. In 1967, it updated its focƏߨ, due to medical advances and the changing needs of the community, and began to serve children wi֢h mental and developmental disabilities. In 1989, they also ncluded adults with similar disabilities.
The Encyclopedia ofֱCleveland History provides some detail of the Centܨr’s early history:
Thβ Rose-Mary Center, which began in 1922 as a home for crippled children, has provided residential evaluation and treatment for multi-han׃icapped children ages 3-12. Before 19˶2 Catholic crippled children were caredܹfor at the Episcopal Holy Cross House. When a change in policy limited services to Episcopalians, Caesar Grasselli [pr҇sident ؉nd chairman of the board of Grasselli Chemical] offerہd his Euclid 7-acre summer residence (at 19350 EuͰlid Ave.) to the Catholic Diocese of ۫levelaъd, in memory of his wife, Johanna, an invalid for many yearsԪ The home, with a capacity of 24, was named for its first patron, a crippled orphan found in Youngstown shortly after birth. The Sisters of the Holy Humiѹity of Mary staffed the home; the Catholic Daughters of America performed maintenance and raised funds; and Grasselli, who visited each week, provided equipment and furnishings. Rose-Mary Home pioneered modern treatment to correct physical handicaps of children with healtՄy minds. Through physical therapy, disabled childreŴ re-educated weak muscles and achieved as close to normal function as possible. The homelike setting included furnishings and utensils specially designed for theņyoung Ŷesidents. In 1943 the adjacent William Delaney house and property were acquired and used for staff Ȃleeping quarters. A new building on the same site was comɟleted in 1949 with Catholic Charities Corp. funds. The facility concentrated all activities under one roof and permitted care of up to 50 Ӈhildren.
The mission statementҡfor The Rose-Mary Center (also known as Johanna Grasselli Rehabilitation and Education Center) says that the “Rose-Marؐ Center assists and empowers individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities to achieve a life of increasing abilities and personal fulfillment thereby becoming more independent aγd integrated members of the community. The Center supports and joins wϡth families in this pursuit.” Rose-Mary works hˢrd in the care of these children and adults to help them focus on their activities of daily living, mobility, and helping in behavior management, social skills, and communication. This is a 24/7 responsibility, as the chڗldren and adults who are living at the center or in one of their group homes need varied, specialized care during the day AND night. Besides the main Center For Children, there are also several group homes for adults in the Cleveland area.
But to me, the Rose-Mary Center is much more than just the service it provѫdes. Several years ago, a member of my family was in need of their help, and the Rose-Mary Center stepped up to the challenge. It is always difficult for any family to admit that they are unable to care for a child with special needs, especially one with severe dѬsabilities and behavioral issues. The people at The Rose-Mary Center provided the critical support needed to help my family member overcome many issues and helped him to thrive, despite the fact that he will never be anywhere near “n̅rmal”. And while his care will likely require specialized attention for his lifeti҅e, The Rose-Mary Center has worked hard to help him perform some tasks that many people simply take for granted, such as simplΏ being able to grasp a spoon toڹhelp feeك himself. In the several years I have known the employees of the Center, I can tell you that they provide something that is priceless, and that is the love for the people that reside there. It is as if each resident has his or her own group of guardian angels tending to their needs and helping them to learn new skills.
As you can imagine, the level of care that is required for residents of Rose-Mary is quite expensive, and financial support from the government does not cover all their needs. This is why community support and involvement are so important in helping sustain their work. And the one thing I do know about Cleveland area residents is that they are always willing to help those in need. If you, your company, or your school, are looking for a cause to support, please consider The Rose-Mary Center – and I’ll consider you to be an honorary angel if you do!
Information about donations and gifts to The Rose Mary Center can be found here, and their home page is here.

Cleveland makes another list, this one from Forbes Magazine, calling Cleveland one of “America’s Fastest-Dying Cities”.
More specifically, in the pictorial summary of the cities, they lisʬ the area as the “Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio, metropolitan statistical area.” And I am not quite sure of the location of photo of Cleveland that they used (see below), but it hardly represents the region. (If they wanted to make us look bad, they should have used the Howard Johnson’s building.)
If the people from Forbes Magazine read this blog, they would know there is a lot more to Cleveland than one desolate looking photograph. In fact, I would venture to say that Forbes Magazine knows nothing about the Cleveland area at all.
I was born in Cleveland, and I happen to live in Mentor, and I can verify there is a lot of life in this area. Maybe if Forbes Magazine measured attendance in the sports venues such as The Q, Progressive Field, and Cleveland Browns Stadium, they wouldn’t see evidence of a dying city. More examples of healthy life are: the booming medical facilities and the fact that people come here from around the world for health care; the recent renovations at the Cleveland Museum of Art; The Euclid Corridor Project; the wonderful Lake Erie life, Cleveland’s beautiful architecture; The Cleveland Metroparks; University Circle; a world-class orchestra; well, I could go on and on. Of course, let’s not forget that my current hometown of Mentor is far from dead, thank you. Mentor is 6th in retail sales for Ohio, there are many new homes continuing to be built to meet demand of a growing population, and we have a lot of tourism. When I navigate traffic on Mentor Avenue on a daily basis, I frequently see license plates from out of state and Canada. This city is quite alive.
Here’s what Forbes had to say:
“America’s Fastest-Dying Cities”.
Joshua Zumbrun 08.05.08, 6:00 AM ET
Washington, D.C. - The turmoil of the mortgage market granted a temporary reprieve from hearing about the woes of America's Rust Belt. That doesn't mean things are better. Despite a decade of national prosperity, the former manufacturing backbone of the U.S. is in rougher shape than ever, still searching for some way to replace its long-stilled smokestacks.
Where's it worst? Ohio, according to our analysis, which racked up four of the 10 cities on our list: Youngstown, Canton, Dayton and Cleveland. The runner-up is Michigan, with two cities--Detroit and Flint--making the ranking.
These, and four other metropolitan statistical areas, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, face fleeing populations, painful waves of unemployment and barely growing economies. By our measure, they've struggled the worst of any areas in the nation in the 21st century. And they face even bleaker futures.
It wasn't always this way. Despite years of economic decline, in the first years of the new century the employment situation did not look so bad--3% to 4% unemployment was the norm, along the lines of metropolitan areas elsewhere in the country. The rest of the decade was not so kind. Thanks to a crushing downturn for automakers like General Motors and Ford, Detroit and Flint, Mich., have seen unemployment approach 10%.
Another brutal statistic all the cities share is a diminishing population. So far this decade, 115,000 people have left Cleveland, for other climes. Smaller changes in other regions can be just as painful. Nearly 30,000 people have left Youngstown, Ohio, and they aren't being replaced by either new babies or new immigrants.
Still, the cities we found to be struggling don't vary widely by age, and this factor had little influence in the rankings. The oldest city in our top 10, Scranton, Pa., had 45% of its population over 45; the youngest, Flint had 38% over 45.
The worst news is, of course, economic. When we looked at the most recent gross domestic product estimates for 155 metropolitan statistical areas estimated to have $10 billion or more GDP in 2005--economies about the size of Asheville, N.C., or Tallahassee, Fla.--the news was predictably terrible for the Rust Belt.
In the fall of 2007, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) published its GDP estimates from 2001 to 2005. Nearly every city in the country grew during this period (New Orleans, devastated from Hurricane Katrina, was the notable exception), but the struggling cities on our list grew more sluggishly. None of them grew more than 1.9% a year, versus a nationwide average of 2.7%. Canton, Ohio, managed to grow its economy just 0.7% annually. Flint was worse still at 0.4%.
None of these cities now face the huge declines in real estate prices seen by Phoenix, Miami or Las Vegas, where the Case-Shiller Home Price Index shows nearly 30% declines from a year ago. Detroit is off only about 15%, Cleveland only 8%. Don't call it a bright spot. Prices never went up in the first place.
Cleveland’s health is a lot more than just a few statistics like population, unemployment, or mortgage trouble. Sure, the city and the area suffer from those problems, but that doesn’t mean that those people who remain, or who are working here, or whose homes haven’t been foreclosed, are letting the city or the metro area die. It’s superficial lists like Forbes' that do more harm to a city’s reputation than anything else. A city is more than just the sum of a few statistics, it’s about the people who live there and the care, feeding, and support they give to their city. And while Cleveland may be poor right now in things like jobs or with mortgage foreclosures, we aren’t even close to needing life support.
But I think we should all pull the plug on Forbes Magazine, don't you?

Genetic solution to mosquito bites?
Scientists in Queensland believe they're now closer to answering one of the world's intriguing questions -- why some people are more susceptible to mosquito bites than others. It appears it has a lot to do with a person's genes and scientists are now determining exactly which ones.
Compere: Tony Jones
Reporter: Kerri Ritchie
KERRI RITCHIE: Scientists in Brisbane believe they have the answer to an age-old question -- why mosquitos like some of us more than others.
PROFESSOR BRIAN KAY, MOSQUITO CONTROL LAB: We know that some people complain when they have a mozzie buzzing 50m from them, others can can get bitten at a barbie and have 10 or 15 mozzies on their legs, and they'll cop it sweet.
KERRI RITCHIE: Scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research say a person's genetic make-up determines if they're susceptible to mosquito bites.
PROFESSOR NICK MARTIN, GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY LAB: Just as we know that genetic factors are important in hair colour, or in eye colour, or in how tall you are, what we've shown is that genetic factors are also important in how badly you are affected by mosquitos.
KERRI RITCHIE: Scientists studied 500 sets of twins and found mosquitos had bitten identical twins -- who have identical genes -- the same number of times.
They compared this with non-identical twins -- who share 50 per cent of their gene make-up -- who were bitten at a completely different ratio.
The next step is to determine exactly which genes increase people's susceptibility to mosquito bites.
This will enable scientists to develop more effective methods of keeping the insects away.
It's hoped further research will help scientists develop vaccines to control mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, Ross River virus and dengue fever.

You may feel that wearing normal clothing can protect you from the sun UV radiation; but this is not true. Only certified sun protection clothing and UV protection swimwear can provide real protection against the sun UV radiation.
Skin Cancer Prevention:
The best way to prevent skin cancer caused by UV radiation is to protect your skin from the sun. Also, it is very important to protect children from an early age, since research has found that most sun damage happens before age 15 (read sun protection messages for children as a special risk group at http://www.ecostinger.com/sun_protection_clothing_children.php). It is best to wear sun protective clothing when exposed to the sun, and specially when swimming, and use sunscreen on exposed skin whenever you can.
Also, you should be aware of UV radiation which can be reflected by sand, water, snow, and ice. UV radiation can go through light clothing, windshields, windows, and clouds. Wear long sleeves and long pants, a hat with a wide brim, and sunglasses that absorb UV. Use sunscreen lotions at least SPF15 where possible.
The most common place where you can be over-exposed to the sun UV radiation is on the beach. Therefore a special type of sun clothing is required which can give you the right skin protection and the freedom you expect to feel when spending your day swimming, sailing, surfing or simply walking on the sands. The ozone protects Earth from harmful UV radiation. Ozone depletion and weather variations cause different amounts of UV radiation to reach the Earth. To check the UV index in your city or country visit the Environmental Protection Agency website.
About UV Protection Swimsuits:
Not all sunscreens provide the same sun protection (sunscreen UV protection is measured in SPF: Sun Protection Factor), and not all sunglasses provide the same eye protection (eye UV protection is measured in EPF: Eye Protection Factor); the same applies to swimwear and clothing which is measured in UPF: Ultraviolet Protection Factor. Therefore, it is very important to make sure the type of sun protection clothing or UV swimwear you use on the beach have been tested and certified to offer the highest UPF rating of UPF50+, which blocks over 97.5% of the sun UV radiation.
You can find sun protection swimwear products online from several suppliers; however only few have the right certification or the fabric they use have been tested for protection against UV radiation. Make sure when getting your UV protection swimsuits that garments and fabric have been certified by ARPANSA (Australan Radiation Protection And Nuclear Safety Agency) with ratings of UPF50+ UV cover; you can read more about ARPANSA certification at http://www.ecostinger.com/uv_protective_clothing_fabric.php
Beware of companies claiming 100% sun protection, or using wrong terms for clothing, such SPF. Also, not all companies who claim the right sun protection term of UPF are necessary genuine and have had their garments or fabric tested by the correct government agency such as ARPANSA. There is no law to prevent someone claiming their products provide UPF50+ protection if they are using their own sun protection tags or UPF50+ in-house designed logo. So be careful how you pick the right sun protection clothing product. Ask about the certification or the government agency who tested the garment.

The intertidal zone, also known as the foreshore and seashore and sometimes referred to as the littoral zone, is the area that is above water at low tide and under water at high tide (in other words, the area between tide marks). This area can include many different types of habitats, with many types of animals, such as starfish, sea urchins, and numerous species of coral. The well-known area also includes steep rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, or wetlands (e.g., vast mudflats). The area can be a narrow strip, as in Pacific islands that have only a narrow tidal range, or can include many meters of shoreline where shallow beach slopes interact with high tidal excursion. Peritidal zone is similar but a somewhat wider zone, extending from above the highest tide level to below that of the lowest tide level.
Organisms in the intertidal zone are adapted to an environment of harsh extremes.[not in citation given] The intertidal zone is also home to many several species from different taxa including Porifera, Annelids, Coelenterates, Mollusks, crustaceans, Arthropods, etc. Water is available regularly with the tides but varies from fresh with rain to highly saline and dry salt with drying between tidal inundations. Wave splash can dislodge residents from the littoral zone. With the intertidal zone's high exposure to the sun, the temperature range can be anything from very hot with full sun to near freezing in colder climates. Some microclimates in the littoral zone are ameliorated by local features and larger plants such as mangroves. Adaptation in the littoral zone allows the use of nutrients supplied in high volume on a regular basis from the sea, which is actively moved to the zone by tides. Edges of habitats, in this case land and sea, are themselves often significant ecologies, and the littoral zone is a prime example.
A typical rocky shore can be divided into a spray zone or splash zone (also known as the supratidal zone), which is above the spring high-tide line and is covered by water only during storms, and an intertidal zone, which lies between the high and low tidal extremes. Along most shores, the intertidal zone can be clearly separated into the following subzones: high tide zone, middle tide zone, and low tide zone. The intertidal zone is one of a number of marine biomes or habitats, including estuaries, neritic, surface and deep zones.
Marine biologists divide the intertidal region into three zones (low, middle, and high), based on the overall average exposure of the zone. The low intertidal zone, which borders on the shallow subtidal zone, is only exposed to air at the lowest of low tides and is primarily marine in character. The mid intertidal zone is regularly exposed and submerged by average tides. The high intertidal zone is only covered by the highest of the high tides, and spends much of its time as terrestrial habitat. The high intertidal zone borders on the splash zone (the region above the highest still-tide level, but which receives wave splash). On shores exposed to heavy wave action, the intertidal zone will be influenced by waves, as the spray from breaking waves will extend the intertidal zone.
Depending on the substratum and topography of the shore, additional features may be noticed. On rocky shores, tide pools form in depressions that fill with water as the tide rises. Under certain conditions, such as those at Morecambe Bay, quicksand may form.
This subregion is mostly submerged - it is only exposed at the point of low tide and for a longer period of time during extremely low tides. This area is teeming with life; the most notable difference with this subregion to the other three is that there is much more marine vegetation, especially seaweeds. There is also a great biodiversity. Organisms in this zone generally are not well adapted to periods of dryness and temperature extremes. Some of the organisms in this area are abalone, sea anemones, brown seaweed, chitons, crabs, green algae, hydroids, isopods, limpets, mussels, nudibranchs, sculpin, sea cucumber, sea lettuce, sea palms, starfish, sea urchins, shrimp, snails, sponges, surf grass, tube worms, and whelks. Creatures in this area can grow to larger sizes because there is more available energy in the localized ecosystem. Also, marine vegetation can grow to much greater sizes than in the other three intertidal subregions due to the better water coverage. The water is shallow enough to allow plenty of light to reach the vegetation to allow substantial photosynthetic activity, and the salinity is at almost normal levels. This area is also protected from large predators such as fish because of the wave action and the relatively shallow water.
The intertidal region is an important model system for the study of ecology, especially on wave-swept rocky shores. The region contains a high diversity of species, and the zonation created by the tides causes species ranges to be compressed into very narrow bands. This makes it relatively simple to study species across their entire cross-shore range, something that can be extremely difficult in, for instance, terrestrial habitats that can stretch thousands of kilometres. Communities on wave-swept shores also have high turnover due to disturbance, so it is possible to watch ecological succession over years rather than decades.
The burrowing invertebrates that make up large portions of sandy beach ecosystems are known to travel relatively great distances in cross-shore directions as beaches change on the order of days, semilunar cycles, seasons, or years. The distribution of some species has been found to correlate strongly with geomorphic datums such as the high tide strand and the water table outcrop.
Since the foreshore is alternately covered by the sea and exposed to the air, organisms living in this environment must have adaptions for both wet and dry conditions. Hazards include being smashed or carried away by rough waves, exposure to dangerously high temperatures, and desiccation. Typical inhabitants of the intertidal rocky shore include urchins, sea anemones, barnacles, chitons, crabs, isopods, mussels, starfish, and many marine gastropod molluscs such as limpets and whelks.
As with the dry sand part of a beach, legal and political disputes can arise over the ownership and use of the foreshore. One recent example is the New Zealand foreshore and seabed controversy. In legal discussions, the foreshore is often referred to as the wet-sand area.
For privately owned beaches in the United States, some states such as Massachusetts use the low water mark as the dividing line between the property of the State and that of the beach owner. Other states such as California use the high-water mark.
In the UK, the foreshore is generally deemed to be owned by the Crown although there are notable exceptions, especially what are termed several fisheries, which can be historic deeds to title, dating back to King John's time or earlier, and the Udal Law, which applies generally in Orkney and Shetland.
In Greece, according to the L. 2971/01, the foreshore zone is defined as the area of the coast that might be reached by the maximum climbing of the waves on the coast (maximum wave run-up on the coast) in their maximum capacity (maximum referring to the "usually maximum winter waves" and of course not to exceptional cases, such as tsunamis etc.). The foreshore zone, apart of the exceptions of the law, is public, and permanent constructions are not allowed on it.

Birds at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve
Shown on this page are some of the birds commonly seen or heard near the Lodge. All these birds are in the park the year round. All photographs are copyrighted by Dr. Gary Grantham and others.
Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) Wing spread is about four feet, and it soars in circular pattern; round white tail with reddish tinge; light-colored breast, broad band of streaking across belly; nest is a platform of sticks in trees.
California Quail (Lophortyx califomicus) Small, plump, grayish birds with short black plume growing forward from crown; nest is a grass-lined hollow on ground.
Anna’s Hummingbird (Calypte anna) Red crown, red throat; only hummingbird found in California in mid-winter; nest is a tiny lichen-covered cup in brush or tree.
Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) No crest on head; head, wings, and tail are blue; back is pale brownish; in flight often pitches down slopes in long shallow curves; nest is a twiggy bowl in bush or low tree.
Wrentit (Chhamaea fasciata) Long rounded, slightly cocked tail and streaked brownish breast, with white eye; nest is a compact cup in a low bush.
Common Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus) Very small plain birds that move from bush to tree in straggling flocks; constantly conversing; gray back, pale underparts; stubby bill and longish tail; nest is a long woven pouch in bush and tree.
Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) Large white patches on wings and tail; nest is a rootlet-lined cup in bush or dense tree.
California Towhee (Pipilo fuscus) Formerly known as the Brown Towhee, this bird has pale rusty color under tail and streaked buffy throat; dull gray-brown back with long dark tail; the nest is a cup in bush or tree.
Spotted Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus) Formerly known as the Rufous Sided Towhee, this bird is found rummaging among dead leaves; head and upper parts black, crown of white spots on back and wings; sides robin-red, belly white; a loose cup on ground or in low bush forms the nest.
California Thrasher (Toxostoma redivivum) A large dull gray-brown bird with pale cinnamon belly and undertail; nest is a twiggy cup in brush.
Mourning Dove (Zenaidura macroura) Pointed tail bordered with large white spots; brown, slim-shaped body; nest is a flimsy twig platform in tree, shrub, or on the ground.
Common Raven (Corvus corax) Larger than a crow, the raven has a wedge shaped tail, and is not inclined to fly in flocks like crows. These birds are commonly seen soaring on the updrafts along the beach cliffs and in the canyons of Torrey Pines. They are acrobats and sometimes perform barrel rolls!
Red-Shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) This hawk has strong black and white bands on its tail, and rusty undersides. In flight, a translucent “window” can be seen at the base of the primary feathers on the wing.

Role of the Kidney in the Pathogenesis of Congestive Heart Failure
The pathogenesis of sodium retention in congestive heart failure has been a difficult problem to elucidate. The production in dogs of cardiac valvular lesions of increasing severity has enabled investigators to study the sequential alterations in salt and water balance in the same animal from the normal state through the progressive stages of cardiac impairment until frank failure is present. The findings in dogs suggest that: 1. Abnormalities in sodium metabolism are detectable in mild heart disease long before overt failure is present. 2. Total exchangeable sodium may be increased in animals with mild valvular damage. These animals have normal exercise tolerance and normal basal glomerular filtration rates. 3. Increased sympatho-adrenal (adrenergie) activity is responsible, in large measure, for the decreased sodium and water excretion in dogs with cardiac impairment. 4. Preliminary experiments suggest that the carotid sinus may be the receptor organ initiating the reflex increase in sympatho-adrenal tone, and may be the elusive "volume receptor" for which investigators have been searching. 5. Evidence is also available that the carotid sinus may play a major role in the regulation of the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex, the site of aldosterone production.

Mesa was an innovative programming language developed in the late 1970s at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in Palo Alto, California, United States. The language was named after the mesas of the American Southwest, referring to its design intent to be a "high-level" programming language.
Mesa is an ALGOL-like language with strong support for modular programming. Every library module has at least two source files: a definitions file specifying the library's interface plus one or more program files specifying the implementation of the procedures in the interface. To use a library, a program or higher-level library must "import" the definitions. The Mesa compiler type-checks all uses of imported entities; this combination of separate compilation with type-checking was unusual at the time.
Mesa introduced several other innovations in language design and implementation, notably in the handling of software exceptions, thread synchronization, incremental compilation, and more.
Mesa was developed on the Xerox Alto, one of the first personal computers with a graphical user interface, however most of the Alto's system software was written in BCPL. Mesa was the system programming language of the later Xerox Star workstations, and for the GlobalView desktop environment. Xerox PARC developed Cedar, which was based on Mesa, with a number of additions including garbage collection, better string support, called Ropes, and a native compiler for Sun SPARC workstations.
Mesa had a major influence on the design of other important languages, such as Modula-2 and Java, and was an important vehicle for the development and dissemination of the fundamentals of GUIs, networked environments, and the other advances Xerox contributed to the field of computer science.

FBI San Juan History
Early 1900s through 1940s
The FBI’s San Juan Division has been in continuous operation since November 1939. The FBI has conducted investigations in Puerto Rico throughout its history; a field office existed there as early as World War I, and opened it again in late 1930s. With the onset of World War II in Europe, however, the Bureau realized it needed a permanent office in Puerto Rico. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover noted that “one of the primary purposes for the reopening of the San Juan office was to establish a channel of information and data in Caribbean Sea.”
During the war, the division did even more. San Juan agents were particularly attuned to sabotage investigations and dealing with interned enemy ships. When the U.S. entered the war in 1941, ships of German and Italian registry were captured and disabled and their crews held for the course of the conflict.
1950s through 1970s
Following the war, a persistent concern for the division was the criminal activity of Puerto Rican nationalist groups. Although many of these crimes occurred in the continental U.S.—such as the 1950 attack on the White House or the 1954 attack on the U.S. Congress—the San Juan Division was tasked with following up on the local roots of the groups that launched these attacks. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, these crimes continued to be a significant investigative responsibility.
1980s through 1990s
The division also investigated other violent crimes and federal violations. In 1983, for instance, FBI San Juan played a central role in helping to solve the robbery of a Wells Fargo Armored truck in Connecticut. Approximately $7 million dollars was stolen by members of the Puerto Rican terrorist group Los Macheteros. Although Victor Gerena—a Wells Fargo guard thought to have played an inside role in the heist—remains at large, more than a dozen suspected conspirators were arrested in 1985 and 1986, most by San Juan agents. By 1989, two of those arrested pled guilty, and six others were convicted in court.

In 1986, an arson at the Dupont Plaza Hotel in San Juan killed 96 people. FBI San Juan personnel worked closely with the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) to identify suspects and build cases against them. In 1987, Hector Aponte, Armando Rivera, and a third person were charged with and convicted for the arson.
Police corruption has been another ongoing concern for the division. In August 2000, FBI San Juan launched a major undercover operation called Honor Perdido (Lost Honor). The case targeted corrupt police officers who entered homes using the cover of police vehicles, uniforms, and equipment in order to steal drugs, money, and guns from Puerto Rican citizens. Twenty-nine police officers were arrested in 2001 on charges arising from the undercover operation. The division has also targeted corrupt politicians and government employees, leading to investigative successes in a number of other corruption investigations.
Following the 9/11 attacks, the division’s priorities shifted, with counterterrorism becoming the overriding concern. In March 2002, FBI San Juan launched two Joint Terrorism Task Forces, bringing together federal and commonwealth law enforcement and intelligence agencies to target threats to Puerto Rico.
In October 2010, the FBI launched a massive public corruption takedown called Operation Guard Shack in San Juan, arresting more than 130 subjects—the majority of them police officers. It was likely the largest police corruption case in the FBI’s history, with nearly 1,000 Bureau personnel from 50 of the FBI’s 56 field offices taking part.
Looking forward, the San Juan Division remains committed to using its capabilities to protect the citizens of Puerto Rico and help defend the nation.

In graphic design and sociology, Isotype (possibly an acronym for International System of Typographic Picture Education) is a system of pictograms designed by the Austrian educator and philosopher Otto Neurath and the illustrator Gerd Arntz to communicate information in a simple, non-linguistic way. Neurath originally intended Isotype to be used by educators of young children, but it wound up instead heavily influencing modern public signage and information graphics. Visually, it owes a lot to a clean-lines, 1920s realist/art deco aesthetic. In 'a picture speaks a thousand words' kind of a way, Isotype was developed as a way of conveying quantitative information with social consequences — the availability of bread and sugar, the manpower involved in constructing automobiles, in different countries. Isotype may have some common ground in intentions with Buckminster Fuller's Geoscope.
Neurath founded the Isotype Institute with his spouse Marie Reidemeister.

- For other uses, see Deneva.
The Deneva-class was a type of light transport starship in service to the Federation Starfleet in the 24th century. The class first entered service in 2318, and was presumably named after the planet Deneva.
Over the course of the 24th century, the Deneva-class became one of the Federation's primary vessels for transporting personnel and materiel. In order to maximize the ship's efficiency in performing the myriad of tasks they need to perform, the Deneva was not designed to have a single configuration. Rather, the central part of the Deneva was a basic frame, into which up to six transport modules could be placed.
These modules would allow the Deneva to perform multiple duties from hosting a diplomatic party, overseeing a first contact mission, or transporting urgent supplies and equipment to colonies and facilities across the Federation. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Price of Freedom)

Your daily oral hygiene routine is unique. You’ve learned tips and tricks for doing things throughout the years, and you’ve tried to make it as efficient as you can. In many cases, however, that “efficiency” is actually taking away from your ability to keep your teeth healthy. Let’s take a look at common aspects of your daily hygiene routine and how you can improve that time spent.
Flossing Effectively – The sad truth is that many Americans don’t floss at all, and most of those who do use floss don’t use it effectively. Floss should curve around your tooth to cover most of the surface of your tooth so that it can remove about 40% of the bacteria from your tooth surface.
Brushing Thoroughly – Many people brush all of their teeth, but they don’t spend enough time doing it. Brushing your teeth should take no shorter than two full minutes. Try keeping track of how much time you spend brushing, and increase that time to two minutes so that you thoroughly cover all surfaces in your mouth.
Rinsing Efficiently – Some patients choose to use mouth rinse, which we encourage. However, if you are going to use mouth rinse, you should use a rinse that is most efficient. Antiseptic rinses are best for removing bacteria and protecting your teeth from gum disease and decay.
Almost all of us practice some form of oral hygiene routine, but not all of us take full advantage of that time. Think through your own routine, and see how you can improve it! Contact us today for more ideas. We would love to set up an appointment and discuss your routine with you!

In today’s modern society mass media communication plays an important role in shaping up of individual’s opinions & characters. Mass media includes television, advertising, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, and so forth. Some experts are of the view that media reflects and creates the culture. I personally support this opinion. Mass media has a great impact on our society. In this article, I will further discuss the influence of mass media on society and on the general public.
Whatever we see or hear through mass media is thought to be correct. People believe what they view on television or read in the newspaper without verifying the correctness of news. For example: In 2008, an 8-year-old article of ‘financially moribund United Airlines filing for bankruptcy’ in Bloomberg, a premier name in finance news left everyone in jitters. United Airlines’s stock nosedived by 75 percent. The airline was doing very well before this outdated news cropped up. The trading was halted for an hour to bring everything on track. This is a perfect example of what an unauthentic news can do.
The general public gets more influenced by mass media than they think. We often see advertisements of products promising slim and fit body which gives unrealistic goals to young women. They take the women in advertisements as their quixotic role models. This shows how young generation gets easily influenced by the mass media. We simply believe what is shown is advertisement is best for us and thronged the stores to make the purchase without actually knowing the product.
New forms of mass media like the ‘World Wide Web’ & ‘Discussion Groups’ on social media are a danger to the society. The social platforms makes everyone vulnerable to bullying and web attacks
At the end, I want to conclude that the statement given in the question seems to be correct as it has been proven from many studies that people get easily influenced by the mass media.

Most of us use the term “information” to describe some kind of, or a piece of knowledge. When we say that so-and-so passed on such-and-such piece of information, we mean that so-and-so told us such-and-such that we did not know before. However, we now know, thanks to what we have been told. Information equals knowledge, in other words.
The first definition of information in Webster’s dictionary reflects this idea: information is “the communication or reception of knowledge or intelligence.” This idea of information often confuses individuals at first when we begin to talk about information stored in a molecule. It can be said that DNA stores the “know-how” for building molecules in the cell. Yet since neither DNA nor the cellular machinery that receives its instruction set is a conscious agent, equating biological information with knowledge in this way did not seem to quite fit our Webster’s definition. The dictionaries point to another common meaning of the term that would apply to DNA. Webster’s, for instance, has a second definition that defines information as “the attribute inherent in and communicated by alternative sequences or arrangements of something that produce specific effects.” Information, according to this definition, equals an arrangement or string of some kind of characters, specifically characters that accomplish a particular outcome or performs a function of communication.
In common usage, we refer not only to a sequence of English letters in a sentence, but also to a block of binary code in a software program as information. A simple concept to understand and you need to before going on in this series. In this particular sense, information does not require a conscious recipient of a message; it refers to a sequence of characters that produces some specific effect. What the effect is, we do not need to know-although that is our ultimate goal to determine what that sequence of characters ultimately means. This definition suggests a distinct sense in that DNA contains INFORMATION. DNA contains “alternative sequences” of nucleotide bases and can produce a specific effect.
Now, for the conceptual point of this article. Neither DNA nor the cellular machinery that uses the DNA information is conscious (directly perceptible to and under the control of the receptor of the information received). However, neither is a paragraph in a book, or a section of software, or the hardware in the computer that “reads” it. Clearly, software contains some kind of information. I first began to think about the DNA enigma in about 1995, after having the opportunity to design software for a medical company. At the time, as I began to consider the vast amount of processing and storage of a wide variety and types of information on computers and it’s retrieval in a recognizable manner, I began a study of the science of information storage, processing, and transmission called “information theory.”
Information theory was developed in the 1940s by a young MIT engineer and mathematician named Claude Shannon. Shannon was studying an obscure branch of algebra and few if any people were paying attention. Shannon had taken nineteenth-century mathematician George Boole’s (from which contains Boolean algebra) system of putting logical expressions in mathematical form and apply the categories of “true” or “false” to switches found in electronic circuits. His master’s thesis was called “possibly the most important, and also the most famous, master’s thesis of the century.”[i] It eventually became the foundation for digital-circuit and digital-computer theory. Nor was Shannon finished laying these foundations. He continued to develop his ideas and eventually published “The Mathematical Theory of Communications.” Scientific American later called it “the Magna Carta of the information age.”[ii] Shannon’s theory of information provided a set of mathematical rules for analyzing how symbols and characters are transmitted across communication channels.
As my interest in the origin of life increased with more contact with the medical field, I read more and more about Shannon’s theory of information. I learned that his mathematical theory of information could be applied to DNA, but there was an unusual catch. Shannon’s theory of information is based upon a fundamental intuition: information and uncertainty are inversely related. The more informative the particular statement is, the more uncertainty that it gets rid of. For example, I live in West Texas. If you were to tell me that it might snow in January, that would not be a very informative statement. In the 22 years I have lived here, we have had from a dusting of snow to ten inches 17 out of those 22 years. So telling me that does not reduce uncertainty. However, I know very little about what the weather will be like in Boise, Montana. If you were to tell me that on May 18 last year, Boise had an unseasonably cold day resulting in a light dusting of snow that would be an informative statement. It would tell me something I could not have predicted based upon what I know already— it would reduce my uncertainty about Boise weather on that day.
Claude Shannon wanted to develop a theory that could quantify the amount of information stored in or conveyed across a communication channel. He did this in two steps: first by linking the concepts of information and uncertainty and second by linking these concepts to measures of probability. According to Shannon, the amount of information conveyed (and the amount of uncertainty reduced) in a series of symbols or characters is inversely proportional to the probability of a particular event, symbol, or character occurring. OK, let us think about this for a minute and what it actually means. I am sure examples would help.
Imagine rolling a six-sided die (single for a pair of dice). Also, think about flipping a coin. The die comes up on the number 6.
The coin lands on tails.
- Before rolling the die, there were six possible outcomes.
- Before flipping the coin, there were two possible outcomes.
The throwing (or formally ‘the cast’) of the die eliminated more uncertainty and, in Shannon’s theory, conveyed more information than the coin toss. Notice that the more improbable event (the die coming up 6) conveys more information; this becomes a central point in the DNA enigma later. By equating information with the reduction of uncertainty, Shannon’s theory implies a mathematical relationship between information and probability. Specifically, it shows that the amount of information conveyed by an event is inversely proportional to the probability of its occurrence. The greater the number of possibilities, the greater the improbability of any one event actually occurring, and therefore the more information that is transmitted when that particular possibility occurs.
Shannon’s theory also implies that information increases as a sequence of the characters in the information grows. The probability of getting heads in a single flip of a fair coin is 1 in 2. The probability of getting four heads in a row is 1/ 2 × 1/ 2 × 1/ 2 × 1/ 2, that is, (1/ 2) 4 or 1/ 16. Therefore, the probability of attaining a specific sequence of heads and tails decreases as the number of trials increases. The amount of information provided increases correspondingly.[iii]
Think of it this way, it might help. A paragraph contains more information than the individual sentences of that make it up; a sentence contains more information than the individual words in that sentence. All other things being equal, short sequences (sentences) have less information than long sequences (sentences). Shannon’s theory explains why in mathematical terms: improbabilities multiply as the number of characters (and combination of possibilities) grows. The important thing for Shannon was that his theory provided a way of measuring the amount of information in a system of symbols or characters.
His equations for calculating the amount of information present in a communication system could be readily applied to any sequence of symbols or coding system that used elements that functioned in a manner similar to alphabetic characters. Within any given alphabet of x possible characters (where each character has an equal chance of occurring), the probability of any one of the characters occurring is 1 chance in x. For instance, if a monkey could bang randomly on a simplified typewriter possessing only keys for the 26 English letters, and assuming he was a perfectly random little monkey, there would be 1 chance in 26 that he would hit any particular letter at any particular moment.
The greater the number of alphabetic characters in use in the system (the greater the value of x), the greater the amount of information conveyed by the occurrence of a specific character in a sequence. In systems where the value of x is known, as in a code or language, mathematicians can generate precise measures of information using Shannon’s equations. The greater the number of possible characters that can be at each place in the sequence and the longer the sequence of characters, the greater the Shannon information associated with the sequence.
Remember I said there was a catch. Well, here it is. Shannon’s theory and his equations have provided a powerful way to measure the amount of information stored in a system or transmitted across a communication channel, but it has an important limit. That limit is that Shannon’s theory did not, and could not, distinguish merely improbable sequences of symbols from those that conveyed a message or “produced a specific effect”— as Webster’s second definition puts it.
As one of Shannon’s collaborators, Warren Weaver, explained in 1949, “The word information in this theory is used in a special mathematical sense that must not be confused with its ordinary usage. In particular, information must not be confused with meaning.”[iv] Ok, I wonder what that means, I hear you saying. Consider two sequences of alphabetic characters: “In the beginning God created” “kd lse ebmgtxodq Pmw wpfuzjf” Both of these sequences has an equal number of characters. Both are composed of the same 26-letter English alphabet, the amount of uncertainty eliminated by each letter (or space) is identical and the probability of producing each of those two sequences at random is identical. Therefore, both sequences have an equal amount of information as measured by Shannon’s theory. So what is the difference? One of these sequences communicates something, while the other one does not. Why is that?
Clearly, the difference has something to do with the way the alphabetic characters are arranged. In the first instance, the alphabetic characters are arranged in a precise way to take advantage of a preexistent convention or code— that of English vocabulary— in order to communicate something. When those words were written in that specific sequence it was to invoked specific concepts— the concept of “In,” the concept of “beginning,” and so on— that has long been associated with specified arrangements of sounds and characters among English speakers and writers. That specific arrangement allows those characters to perform a communication function. In the second sequence, the letters are not arranged according to any established convention or code (except maybe that known as gobbledygook) and therefore is meaningless.
Since both sequences are composed of the same number of equally improbable characters, both sequences have a quantifiable amount of information as calculated by Shannon’s theory. Nevertheless, the first of the two sequences of alphabetic characters has something— a specificity of arrangement— that enables it “to produce a specific effect” or to perform a function, whereas the second sequence does not. That is the catch. Shannon’s theory cannot distinguish functional or message-bearing sequences from random or useless ones. The theory can only measure the improbability of the sequence as a whole. It can quantify the amount of functional or meaningful information that might be present in a given sequence of symbols or characters, but it cannot determine whether the sequence in question “produces a specific effect” or is in fact meaningful.
For this reason, information scientists will often say that Shannon’s theory only measures the “information-carrying capacity,” as opposed to the functionally specified information or “information content,” of a sequence of characters or symbols. This generates an interesting paradox. Long meaningless sequences of alphabetic characters can have more information than shorter meaningful sequences of alphabetic characters, as measured by Shannon’s information theory.
This suggests that there are important distinctions to be made when talking about information in DNA. It is important to distinguish information defined as “a piece of knowledge known by a person” from information defined as “a sequence of characters or arrangements of something that produce a specific effect.” The first of these two definitions of information does not apply to DNA, the second does. However, it is also necessary to distinguish Shannon information from information that performs a function or conveys a meaning. We must distinguish sequences of characters that are (a) merely improbable from sequences that are (b) improbable and specifically arranged to perform a function. In other words, we must distinguish information-carrying capacity from functional information. So what kind of information does DNA possess, Shannon information or some other?
For that we go back to: Will be completed in a week

[iii] Shannon, “A Mathematical Theory of Communication.” Information theorists found it convenient to measure information additively rather than multiplicatively. Thus, the common mathematical expression (I =– log2p) for calculating information converts probability values into informational measures through a negative logarithmic function, where the negative sign expresses an inverse relationship between information and probability.

Personal finance can be tricky. There are many different account types and even more financial products to keep straight. Fortunately, once you grasp the basics of certain financial accounts and savings and investment vehicles, the picture starts to clear up. Sorting out how Roth IRAs, IRAs, and CDs work and how they can work together is a good start.
Accounts vs. Products
It isn't always easy to tell the difference between a financial product and a financial account. In part, this is due to how they are marketed by different financial institutions. For example, many banks market an IRA CD, which can sound like something different than a "regular" IRA. Remember that a Roth IRA and a traditional IRA are both types of IRS regulated accounts. A CD is financial product and one of many financial products that can be held within an IRA or Roth IRA.
Certificates of Deposit
A CD, or Certificate of Deposit, is a financial product. Banks or other financial institutions offer customers a higher interest rate in exchange for the customer committing to keeping the funds in the account for a set period of time. Traditionally, the longer the time commitment, the higher the interest rate. CDs are usually held under separate account numbers at a bank. However, multiple CDs can be held within a single account at a brokerage firm.
The two main types of IRA accounts are traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Each is a tax-advantaged account regulated by the IRS. An array of savings and investment vehicles can be held within an IRA, including CDs, mutual funds, stocks, bonds and even real estate. A person may have more than one IRA account.
Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA
Both traditional and Roth IRA accounts offer tax-deferred growth on all money invested inside of the account. However, when funds are withdrawn from a traditional IRA, the taxpayer is liable for ordinary income taxes on all monies withdrawn. In addition, beginning at age 70 1/2, an IRA account holder must begin taking required minimum distributions, or RMDs, from the account. Some taxpayers qualify for a tax deduction for contributions made to a traditional IRA. In contrast, all funds withdrawn from a Roth IRA are tax-free. In addition, no RMDs are required for owners of a Roth IRA account. However, no tax deduction is available for any contributions to a Roth IRA.
IRAs vs. CDs
As discussed, an IRA is a type of account defined and regulated by the IRS. A CD is a type of savings vehicle created and administered by the bank that issues it. An IRA CD is nothing more than a CD within an IRA account.

FortunǛtely, once you grasp the basics f certain fĤnancial accounts and savings and investment vehicles, the picture starts to clear upր Sorting out how Roth IRAs, IRAs, and CDs work and how they can wՆrΛ together μs a good st٢rt.

Tоײdi҉ional IRA vsɞ ښߢגh IRA
Both traditional and Roth IRA accounts offer˅tax-deferrסd growth on all money invested inside of the account. However, when funds٨are withdrawn from a traditional IRA, the taxpayer is liable for ordinary income taxes on all monies withdrawn. In addition, beginning at age 70 1/2, an IRA account holder must begin taking required minimum distributions, or RMDs, from the account. Some taxpayers qualify for a tax deduction for contributions made to a traditional IRA. In contrast, all funds withdrawn from a Roth IRA are tax-free. In addition, no RMDs are required for owners of a Roth IRA account. However, no tax deduction is available for any contributions to a Roth IRA.
IRAs vs. CDs
As discussed, an IRA is a type of account defined and regulated by the IRS. A CD is a type of savings vehicle created and administered by the bank that issues it. An IRA CD is nothing more than a CD within an IRA account.

Knowing yourself means that you have self-awareness. This requires you to be able to assess yourself accurately and with minimal bias. You also have to have emotional awareness, which means knowing when feelings are present in you and in others. The last piece is growing your self-confidence, which requires you to believe in your abilities, your judgment, and your personal power to act and interact in a way you are comfortable with.
One approach you can take to knowing a bit more about yourself is to use the JoHari’s Window technique. The web site www.Businessballs.com has a useful description and some tools you can use to find out more. Also, there are plenty of self-tests available on the Internet to gain more insight into yourself. While this is primarily a tool for team building, it can help you identify your own biases and potential blind spots.
The idea behind this tool is that the window has four panes and you are trying to make the upper-left pane as big as possible while trying to make the lower-right pane as small as possible.
For the lower-left area you need to know what you are hiding from others and be honest about why you are hiding it, accepting the consequences of keeping that insight private. For the upper-right area you want to accept criticism from others and reflect on what they are saying to determine if you do have a blind spot and can grow that into an open area or want to make a change in yourself.
An example would be my fear of heights, or at least my fear of falling from heights. I first learned of my fear of heights when I woke up in an airplane during take off. That was an unknown area that quickly became an open area for me and those around me. After talking to members of my family I found out it was actually a blind spot for me and they all were aware of my fear of heights, though I was not. Now, this is an open area that I am aware of if I am sightseeing near cliffs or riding in an elevator with windows. These are some things I have learned that you may find helpful:
· Know that you have feelings and try to understand what situations tend to make you lose control of your feelings.
· Build as big of an open area as you can with your closest friends and family so that you can grow your self-awareness in a trusted environment and learn more about yourself.
· Consider why you feel you need to keep things in a hidden area and find one trusted person you can discuss these with to get a different perspective.
· Ask for and accept constructive criticism from people in your circle of trust. When they provide feedback, accept it and say “thank you” and then reflect on it. Do not respond or try and explain why they are wrong, just accept the insight and try to understand why they said what they said.
As you are selecting a job, decide whether the job will play to your personality and feeling or whether you will have the opportunity to grow based on the environment you will work in.

As Hurricane Sandy ploughed through south-east Cuba on October 25, 2012, destroying or damaging some 130,000 houses in Santiago de Cuba, a cluster of single storey red-roofed buildings stood its ground. These were the “petrocasas” (oil houses) the Venezuelans had built five years ago to replace the ageing housing stock of the island’s second largest city.
With wind speeds of up to 177 km/h, Hurricane (‘Superstorm’) Sandy was second only to the infamous Katrina of 2005 in the scale of destruction and loss of lives that torments the United States and the Caribbean during the Atlantic storm season. The petrocasas shook and swayed violently, its residents said later, but they held.
The petrocasas are built with PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a by-product of the oil and gas industry that can also be produced from hydrocarbons such as coal or as derivates from sugarcane. PVC is a plastic polymer, white and brittle in its rigid form (to which colour can be added), as in bank cards, and can be made more flexible by using chemical plasticisers as a substitute for rubber in plumbing and insulation pipes.
With their abundant oil and gas fields and domestic refineries, Venezuelans are not short of PVC. The original know-how is not theirs either and has been used for years in construction, as in the 2012 London Olympics, but they have tweaked German, Austrian, Italian and Brazilian technology for tropical conditions.
The components of the petrocasas like walls, doors and windows, floors and roof are manufactured as separate modules and the houses can be assembled within days on site. The ceiling and the walls are anchored to the foundation. The space between the wall panels is filled with concrete to give them the strength to resist storms and earthquakes. The roofing material, made from vinyl but resembling wood, can be covered with tiles or other local material. The lightweight PVC homes stand up better against fires and earthquakes than traditional buildings that make them suitable for disaster zones and their durability is said to be a hundred years.
The petrocasas — or, ‘petroghars‘ — could be part of the housing solution for the cyclone-prone coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. They can be manufactured, stored and transported easily as panels to the affected areas and assembled on site within days.
Houses are the first to crumble in earthquakes, cyclones and floods and often the last to be rebuilt. Each natural disaster pushes its victims to temporary shelters that often end up as permanent shantytowns. Even when they rebuild their homes, the people are forced to fall back on cheap, adulterated and unreliable ingredients. The petrocasas could serve as a safety net against disaster profiteering.
Venezuela has constructed thousands of petrocasas as part of its ambitious programme of building three million housing units for its poorest citizens by the end of the decade. These houses have been sent as part of relief aid to other Latin American countries like Peru and the Dominican Republic and President Evo Morales wants them manufactured in Bolivia. A team from Caracas is in Nepal at the moment and petrocasas are bound to figure in its reconstruction aid offer.
Environmental arguments have been used in Venezuela to campaign against the housing programme. Its critics cite the use of the toxic chlorine gas in vinyl and the use of metal stabilisers in PVC which would otherwise catalyse its own decomposition. Many European countries are phasing out PVC in the construction industry. The Venezuelan state company that builds the petrocasas admits that there is 124 gm lead compound per house but claims that it is contained inside the plastic resin and cannot be released into the environment. Nevertheless, it has promised to replace the lead with calcium or zinc.
The environmental baggage is more acute with the plasticisers used to produce flexible PVC. Unlike bottles and cards, which end up in garbage dumps, infiltrate the subsoil and poison the water sources, the modular houses can be disposed of far more safely after their lifespan of 140 years.
Rejecting petrocasas for environmental concerns does not do away with a grubby moral choice: would it be better not to build them, even for post-disaster scenarios, for the undoubted pollution in the construction of its raw material and thus leave the poor to die from “organic” causes outdoors such as the cold, the heat or the rains? There are other rapid housing solutions but they would be far more expensive and less likely to be considered.
Each petrocasa of 70 m2 costs a little more than $20,000 to build in Venezuela, which seems to rule it out as an immediate low-cost solution for India. However, Caracas has a two-tier foreign exchange rate. One is pegged at 6.30 bolivars (the local currency) to the dollar which the state uses to import food, medicine and housing material to keep costs down for the people. The open market rate is currently just shy of 200 bolivars a dollar. India can use this dual conversion rate to negotiate import costs. More importantly, it has the raw material and installed capacity to build them locally and push down costs.
While the Venezuelans, with a decade’s experience in large-scale petrocasa projects, have developed technology and expertise that could be appropriate for Indian conditions, they do not have the capital or enough engineers, technical hands and managers to significantly increase production. They are, however, desperate to cut their dependence on oil exports and could be induced to transfer their knowledge and experience in a joint venture. India, with its refineries, coalfields and sugarcane fields, should be as desperate in reserving a part of its PVC production for urgent rehousing programmes.
Petrocasas could be incorporated into the national disaster management plan and be another item to Make in India. Perhaps the Prime Minister might wish to explore the subject when he visits Venezuela in September for the Nonaligned summit.

The four main personality types, or temperaments, are sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic. Choleric and sanguine personalities are typically more extroverted and outgoing, while melancholic and phlegmatic personalities are introverted and reserved.Continue Reading
Sanguine personalities are impulsive and tend to seek out pleasure and social events. People with this personality type can be forgetful and have difficulty finishing tasks.
Choleric personalities tend to be leaders and are passionate. One negative quality is a tendency for sudden depression and mood swings.
Melancholic personalities are independent and thoughtful, but they may dwell on the negative aspects of the world around them.
Phlegmatic personalities tend towards being relaxed and showing affection. They also can be lazy or passive-aggressive when dealing with issues.Learn more about Psychology

What is Job in SQL Server?
SQL Server has some functionality that can make more dependable in the long run: SQL Server jobs. A SQL Server job is a collection of steps executed by the database engine by SQL Server Agent. The job can perform many different operations it can save time and effort. For example, a job can be created to import a daily update file internally or externally via an FTP server. Another job can be configured to handle daily maintenance tasks. A job has many different options that can be configured during its creation in order to perform the duties that are needed of it. In order to manage the jobs within a SQL Server database, use Enterprise Manager, and expand the Management node in Enterprise Manager.

UCLA scientists have found that in young people with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder, the areas of the brain that are linked to social behaviors are both less developed and less-sufficiently networked than they are in young people without autism.
The findings were published online by the peer-reviewed journal Brain and Behavior.
“The brain controls most of our behavior and changes in how brain areas work and communicate with each other can alter this behavior and lead to impairments associated with mental disorders,” said Kay Jann, the study’s first author, and a postdoctoral researcher in the UCLA department of neurology. “When you match physiologic changes in the brain with behavioral impairment, you can start to understand the biological mechanisms of this disorder, which may help improve diagnosis and, in time, treatment.”
The researchers used imaging technology that tracks both blood flow in the brain —a measure of the brain’s energy use — and the organization and strength of connections within intrinsic neural networks. It marked the first use of an MRI tool known as arterial spin labeling perfusion to study autism. Researchers also refined existing technology to assess how well separate areas of the brain are functionally interconnected. Both techniques are noninvasive.
Investigators studied 17 people with high-functioning autism and 22 without. Participants ranged in age from 7 to 17.
The researchers also discovered less long-range connectivity between default mode network nodes in the front and back of the brains among those with ASD, compared to typical brains. The loss of connectivity means that information cannot flow as it should between distant areas of the brain, which might explain impairment in social responsiveness, Jann said.
“The architecture of the brain follows a cost-efficient wiring pattern that maximizes functionality with minimal energy consumption,” he said. “This is not what we found in our … participants [with autism].”
The study was supported by grants from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (P50 HD055784), National Institute of Mental Health (1R01-MH080892), the International Mental Health Research Organization. Jann has a fellowship funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swiss Foundation for Grants in Biology and Medicine.
The research team consisted of scientists from the UCLA Ahmanson–Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, as well as the UCLA department of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences.

Batticaloa is in the eastern coast of Sri Lanka on a flat coastal plain boarded by the Indian Ocean in the east occupies the central part of the eastern Sri Lanka. Its average elevation is around 5 meters. Scenic beauty of the Batticaloa is the Lagoons. Batticaloa district has three lagoons such as Batticaloa Lagoon, Valaichchenai Lagoon, and Vakari (Panichchankerni) Lagoon. Among these lagoon, Batticaloa Lagoon is the largest lagoon and has 56 km long 162 square km area, extending from Pankudaweli in North and Kalmunai in South.
There are several islands within the Batticaloa Lagoon such as Puliayantheevu, Buffaloa Island, Bone Island Many bridges are built across the lagoon connecting the landmasses and the islands. The Puliayantheevu is the metropolitan place of the city. The biggest bridge of all is Lady Manning bridge located at Kallady, which is the main access path to the city from the southern places of the district. This bridge is also famous for Singing fishes which was considered musical sounds heard in the Kallady lagoon in the full moon day. A priest named Father Lang recorded this musical charm and broadcast it in the 1960s over the (Sri Lanka Broadcasting Cooperation).
Batticaloa beaches are sandy and located along 4 km shoreline in the city and further extend through the neighboring places. Kallady beach, the popular serene beachfront where large numbers of people gather in the city. Also Batticaloa such as the heavenly beaches of Pasikudah and Kalkudah have rarely been molested. Pasikudah is a bay protected from the ocean. The significance of Pasikudah is that its bed is flat and sandy and has a pleasant effect on the feet. This can be experienced up to nearly 150 to 200 meters from the shore. Pasikudah is an ideal location for those who wish to learn swimming. Pasikudah is in perfect harmony with its stunning natural setting on the island’s eastern tip. With its atmosphere of rarefied tranquility, it is a place for relaxation and renewal.

Dickinson whimsically describes the exhilarating effect of nature. She uses the metaphor of drunkenness or intoxication to express how the beauty of nature elates her. (Intoxication is a common metaphor for powerful attachments or thrilling feelings; for example, "He's drunk with power" or "Sky diving is intoxicating.") Dickinson plays with this metaphor by developing it literally and concretely.
Dickinson establishes the drinking metaphor with the first line. Pearl, a precious gem, indicates the value of liquor made under the best of circumstances; her liquor (the beauty of nature) is even more precious. Ladling or dipping into liquor to drink it produces a white foam; color is another reason Dickinson chooses pearl. Her liquor is more precious than Rhine wine, a white wine which is highly regarded.
With stanza 2, she tells us, humorously, what she is drunk on--air and dew, which represent nature. (A debauchee is someone corrupted or debased, usually by alcohol.) She is so drunk or "turned on," to use a modern metaphor, that she is staggering. In the last line she starts an image that continues through the third stanza--drinking at an inn. In other words, she is drunk with summer's splendor; the sky is intensely blue or "molten." Can you find any repeated vowel or consonant sounds in this stanza?
How long will nature continue to intoxicate her? Stanzas three and four suggest forever. She will "drink" nature until foxgloves stop blooming and when butterflies give up gathering nectar from flowers. She equates nectar, and its positive assocations, with "drams" (dram: a small drink of liquor). And then? she will "drink" or revel in nature all the more. Part of the humor derives from the fact that nature itself drinks.
To express how prodigious her enthusiasm for nature is, she asserts that the angels will shake their "snowy hats" (the clouds), and the saints will rush to see her. A possible implication of referring to saints and seraphs (note the alliteration) is that God approves of her drunkenness. The poem ends with a startling and powerful image: her leaning against the sun, as a drunk might lean against a lamppost. (Dickinson often ends her poems with a powerful image or statement.) Stanzas three and four go through the activities of a day and end with the sun beginning to set.
This is a lighthearted, happy, playful, charming, and amusing poem. There are no shadows. It is possible to see in her presenting herself as a drunk a sublimated rebelliousness against society's restrictiveness or sanctimoniousness (a holier-than-thou attitude). Or perhaps you see a hint of Dickinson in a naughty little girl persona, in presenting herself as a "tippler" (one who drinks). The speaker is clearly naive and straightforward.
All you have to do in reading this poem is enjoy it and perhaps remember times when you felt this joyful about nature.

This Drama Arts-POP has been devised to demonstrate how students can through drama simultaneously learn multiple subject areas and general capabilities. In This is drama with no outside audience, where the participants use a range of types of role-play that are mixed with theatre techniques to explore a dramatic situation or a story by enacting it. The central method is usually experiential role-play, where the participants together identify and empathise with the characters and act out their roles in the story. they practise managing Dramatic tension is essential to keep any audience engaged in a drama and process drama is no exception. First and foremost, students need to understand the 'tension of the task', where in their roles they have a task that is urgent, purposeful, and that will achieve the characters’ aims. Tension may also be provided by conflict, dilemma, mystery, suspense or surprise., sustaining role, expressing themselves clearly in language and movement, and creating dramatic symbols. They develop oracy through practising in realistic contexts a challenging range of registers and functions of spoken language. At the same time, they learn geography and history and gain cultural awareness. In addition, students explore human values and ethics, as their drama takes them into decision-making about social justice and wealth distribution and they are faced with fascinating challenges and heart-breaking dilemmas.
The urge to 'make believe', to play with the real world, to create and experiment with other possible imagined worlds, is common to all societies and all ages. These activities are called 'drama', and drama's public face, when creations are performed in front of others, is called 'theatre'. Both start at very young ages with pretend play and mature into forms of In role-play, participants step into the shoes of other individuals and live out moments of the story, physically and emotionally., This is the term used for all drama work where the players do not use a script or a given scenario, but make up the words and/or action. and plays. All drama shares the same building blocks, the elements of dramatic form, which teachers need to know, as learning in drama is learning to manage these elements.
Drama in primary school
In schools, students learn in and through their play, which becomes making dramatic art and sometimes presenting it to others. As students engage in responding to and reflecting upon their own and others' drama work, they learn about drama. In the primary years, we are mainly concerned with students' Drama learning is gaining knowledge and skills to answer the question, 'What do people do when they engage in drama?' This comprises:
• making (inventing the dramatic world through dramatic play, improvisation, role-play, play building and scriptwriting) • presenting (acting, rehearsing, and directing to perform to others) • responding (observing, reflecting on and critiquing their own drama work and that of others).
to their own dramatic worlds. Since most children have been playing dramatically together from infancy, they are skilled at role-taking and creating pretend worlds. An important form of drama, and the dominant form in the earlier primary years, is process drama, which is improvised, as in this unit. There is no audience or script, and the teacher and students make drama together using a combination of experiential role-play and other theatrical activities.
The word 'play' is a clue to drama's value and place in the primary classroom as a rich pedagogy, particularly for language. As drama's subject matter is the expression of human experiences, thoughts, motives and feelings, the teacher can structure drama to cover two or more subject areas. By agreeing to make believe together, students learn about familiar and new worlds as they learn drama.

Arachnoid cysts can be treated with endoscopic surgery.
Arachnoid cysts are thought to be present since birth and slowly grow over time. In many patients, these remain without symptoms and never require intervention. In select patients, these cysts continue to grow, causing pressure on the surrounding brain resulting in headaches as well as other neurological symptoms, depending on the location.
In some patients, these cysts can develop in the setting of other congenital brain malformations, such as Dandy-Walker Syndrome. The diagnosis can be made by high-resolution MRI, although in some instances CT cisternogram may be necessary to differentiate the cyst from normal circulating fluid.
If thought to be symptomatic, these can be treated endoscopically with drainage into the deeper compartments of the brain. This approach can be helpful to prevent the need for a cystoperitoneal shunt placement. In select patients, existing cystoperitoneal shunts (usually placed in childhood) can be removed with endoscopic fenestration of the cysts.

Last week, the government ruled no new coal plants would be built without the ability to capture and store a percentage of their carbon emissions.
The move was widely applauded by many environmentalists, but derided by Monbiot . By only requiring the new plants to capture 20-25% of emissions and not setting a date for 100% capture, he argued, the announcement was "cynical and meaningless."
Who do you think's right? George, or our editorial line here at the Guardian? This week is your chance to put your questions on carbon capture and storage to George for a live web chat this Thursday at 1pm.
Should the government have demanded higher targets for the capture of CO2? What happens if carbon capture and storage (CCS) fails to progress beyond demonstration projects to a full-scale commercial technology? And what should we do with burying the carbon from today's existing coal plants, such as Drax?
Start the debate by posting your coal and CCS questions below.
George will be online at 1pm on Thursday 30 April.

Last week, the government ruled no new coal plantsƖwould be built without the ability to capture and store a percentage of their carbon emissions.
The move was widely applauded by many environmenta͂istsٯ but derided by Monbiot . By ƿnly ȕȽquiǬing the nĒw plants to capture 20-25% of e͙džssions and not ˫etting a da͑e for ˩00%Τcapture, hԌ arguedЭ Ӌąe ٝnnŒunɛement wasʟ"cynicٚl aТd meaܘinglesԡ."

Two types of perforating vein can be distinguished below the popliteal fossa:
- Perforating veins not related to intramuscular veins: they directly connect superficial veins with deep intermuscular veins (anterior or posterior tibial veins, peroneal veins, and tibioperoneal trunk) (Figure 97);
- Perforating veins connected to intrainuscular veins: they connect superficial veins with gastrocnemius or soleus veins (Figure 98)and often have multiple branches. connecting superficial, intermuscular. and intramuscular networks.
There are also transgastrocnemius perforating veins of the soleus muscle, which connect a superficial vein and veins of the medial head of the gastrocneniius muscle and the soleus muscle.
Functionally, direct perforating veins not related to intramuscular veins constitute a safety valve in the case of positional obstruction to superficial blood flow in the saphenous networks (stretching and compression by crossing the legs). The most important of these perforating veins are Boyd’s perforators and Cockett’s perforators. In contrast, in the case of hypertension in the deep venous network, their short, direct course facilitates the development of skin lesions at this level.
Direct perforating vein.
- Superficial vein
- Deep vein
- Intramuscular veins
The main perforating veins connected to intramuscular veins are the medial gastrocnemius perforating veins. They are usually multibranched (Figure 99), and receive fine collaterals derived from the muscle. By draining their own muscle territory, they act as an intermediary for the calf muscle pump to act on the saphenous networks and intersaphenous arches. According to Gillot, a gastrocnemius perforating vein is not only a branch of the recipient gastrocnemius vein, but its initial segment is also an integral part of this gastrocnemius vein.
When the intramuscular venous network is the site of hypertension (dilatation or incompetence of gastrocnemius veins, insufficient muscle pump, obstruction to blood flow), transgastrocnemius intersaphenous connections can ensure diffusion of reflux to saphenous trunks, intersaphenous arches, and/or collaterals.
The rich network of medial gastrocnemius perforating veins, in combination with intersaphenous arches, transforms the middle segment of the short saphenous vein into a real exchange center between the long and short saphenous veins and medial gastrocnemius veins.
The short saphenous vein is also usually suprafascial in this zone, which explains why, in contrast with the long saphenous vein, the short saphenous vein can present a greater caliber than its junction with the deep system. Ultrasound investigation of the trunk must therefore be just as detailed as that of the saphenopopliteal junction and proximal reflux. Precise mapping of intersaphenous arches and gastrocnemius perforating veins is absolutely essential. The absence of these data can account for certain failures of isolated saphenopopliteal junction ligation.
Indirect perforating vein.
Branched perforating vein.
Finally, two portions of intramuscular perforating veins can be distinguished (Figure 100)
- the first, subfascial, portion is the longer of the two. It has a descending course until it crosses the fascia, where it describes a concave upwards curvature;
- the second, suprafascial, portion ascends over a much shorter distance;
These perforating veins possess two or three valves situated at their origin and in the zone of their transfascial passage.

Scab and scarab are easily confused words.
The spell-check application of most word processing software programs would not catch a slip-up of these two words. Spell-check is looking for words that aren’t in its dictionary, and words that resemble words in its dictionary, but are possibly spelled wrong. Spell-check isn’t perfect. It doesn’t know and can’t guess what word you wanted, or what word you meant, it can only judge the words on the page. If you used words that are all spelled correctly, it gives you a pass anyway.
Autocorrect suggests words that start with the same letters. It’s suggesting what word you may want to save time, but quite often, its suggestions are pretty off base. They don’t help you out, but they do make you laugh.
Scab (pronounced “skyab”; rhymes with tab, blab, crab) is a noun. It means the dried pile of platelets covering a healed cut in the skin. It’s tempting to pick at scabs, but they are part of the healing process and best left alone until they flake off on their own. This allows the new skin underneath to fully heal.
Scarab (pronounced “sk-yair-uhb”; rhymes with arab) is a noun. It is another word for dung beetle. It can also mean gems or stones cut to resemble beetles.
The following story uses both words correctly:
A month ago, Sagar had found a scarab-cut opal at a pawn shop and assumed it was lucky find. However, since that time, he had been more klutzy. His arms and legs were covered in scabs from cuts and scrapes sustained in everyday activities.
Maybe the scarab wasn’t a lucky charm after all, but the opposite. Maybe that would explain what it was doing at the pawn shop in the first place.

In this silicon era as we approach a new year, the world is increasingly going digital. For every human need and desire like social interaction, services booking, shopping there is a digital platform designed to cater to. The next obvious step was education. And it is happening. It isn’t long before digital aid will become an integral part of the schooling experience.
Let us tell you how you can use this major revolution to get a head start and help your child.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do
If you are a parent of the 21st century, your child is most likely a tech-addict. You know the agony of trying to pull your child away from an intense game of subway surf to the boring realm of crawling words. But what if you could make their love of electronics the strongest weapon in your arsenal. Use the wide variety of educational apps and games to hook your child to an engaging learning experience.
To choose time is to save time
Let your child carry his school everywhere he goes; it doesn’t weigh much after all. Thanks to gamified learning, all you need is a smartphone and your child can be in school whenever he wants. Use previously under-utilised time in engaging your child in quick learning session and watch them not realising how the time flies by in learning process. Be it a long distance commute, a visit to the dentist that is taking time or a delayed flight – all that can be put to use. Now learning schedule can be chosen to suit your convenience. Really, it is a win-win for everyone!
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn
Cultivate a deep rooted interest for a subject through an interactive interface with captivating animation. It is so much more fun for children to watch in action the manifestation of concepts of physics than to be just be left imagining what the practical picture would be like. Practical exposure often nurtures an interest and passion for a topic that theoretical knowledge cannot inspire. What better and more convenient way to gift your child with an enriching experience than to use the gift of animation. Use the gamified learning experience to open new doors of learning. These interesting set of games for conceptual clarity in maths & science are targeted at students of grade 7, grade 8, grade 9 & grade 10.
Feedback is the breakfast of champions
The greatest improvement happens through a continuous feedback to eliminate weak points. Rejoice with the feature of app-learning that provides you a continuous feedback on the performance of your child. Appreciate that apps have the capability of providing the kind of personalised and detailed feedback that a teacher in-charge of a class of 40 will not be able to provide. Learning with friends in games are added incentive for students. Olympiad quiz games can help students of grade 1 to 10 to prepare for various exams & compete with students across the globe.
In the book Reality Is Broken, Jane McGonigal observes that “players begin each game by tackling the obstacle of not knowing what to do and not knowing how to play.” In other words, players are encouraged to learn as they go. This is the heart of student-centered learning.

The founder of Atomism, which explained that all matter is made up of indivisible particles. (The word atom means 'not cut'.)
The Greek tradition regarded Leucippus as the founder of atomism in ancient Greek philosophy. Little is known about him, and his views are hard to distinguish from those of his associate Democritus. He is sometimes said to have been a student of Zeno of Elea, and to have devised the atomist philosophy in order to escape from the problems raised by Parmenides and his followers.
Life and Works
Leucippus is variously said to have been born in Elea, Abdera or Miletus (DK 67A1). His dates are unknown, other than that he lived during the fifth century BCE. Diogenes Laertius reports that he was a student of Parmenides' follower Zeno (DK 67A1). Zeno is best known for paradoxes suggesting that motion is impossible because a magnitude can be divided into an infinite number of parts, each of which must be traversed; the fact that atomism is thought to have been formulated in response to these arguments may account for the story that Leucippus was a student of Zeno.
The extent of Leucippus' contribution to the developed atomist theory is unknown. His relationship to Democritus, and even his very existence, was a subject of considerable controversy in nineteenth century scholarship (Graham 2008). Most reports on early Greek atomism refer to the views of Democritus alone, or to both atomists together; Epicurus seems even to have denied that there was a philosopher Leucippus (DK 67A2). Aristotle certainly ascribes the foundation of the atomist system to Leucippus. Leucippus is sometimes said to have been the author of a work called the Great World-System; one surviving quotation is said to have come from a work On Mind.
Leucippus is named by most sources as the originator of the theory that the universe consists of two different elements, which he called 'the full' or 'solid', and 'the empty' or 'void'. Both the void and the solid atoms within it are thought to be infinite, and between them to constitute the elements of everything. Because little is known of Leucippus' views and his specific contributions to atomist theory, a fuller discussion of the developed atomist doctrine is found in the entry for Democritus.
Early Greek atomism is generally taken to have been formulated in response to the Eleatic claim that 'what is' must be one and unchanging, because any assertion of differentiation or change within 'what is' involves the assertion of 'what is not', an unintelligible concept. While Parmenides' argument is difficult to interpret, he was understood in antiquity to have forced philosophers after him to explain how change is possible without supposing that something comes from 'what is not', i.e. nothing. Aristotle tells us that Leucippus tried to formulate a theory that is consistent with the evidence of the senses that change and motion and a multiplicity of things exists in the world (DK 67A7). In the atomist system, change only occurs at the level of appearances: the real constituents of being persist unchanged, merely rearranging themselves into new combinations that form the world of appearance. Like Parmenidean Being, the atoms cannot change or disintegrate into 'what is not' and each is a solid unit; nonetheless, the combinations of atoms that form the world of appearance continually alter. Aristotle cites an analogy to the letters of the alphabet, which can produce a multitude of different words from a few elements in combinations; the differences all stem from the shape (schema) of the letters, as A differs from N; by their arrangement (taxis), as AN differs from NA; and by their positional orientation (thesis), as N differs from Z (DK 67A6).
Leucippus also reportedly accepted the Eleatic Melissus' argument that void is necessary for motion, but took this to be evidence that, since we experience motion, there must be void (DK 67A7). The reason for positing smallest indivisible magnitudes is also reported to be a response to Zeno's argument that, if every magnitude could be divided to infinity, motion would be impossible (DK 29A22). Leucippus is reported to hold that the atoms are always in motion (DK 67A18). Aristotle criticizes him for not offering an account that says not only why a particular atom is moving (because it collided with another) but why there is motion at all. Because the atoms are indestructible and unchangeable, their properties presumably stay the same through all time.
As Diogenes Laertius reports Leucippus' cosmology, worlds or kosmoi are formed when groups of atoms combine to form a cosmic whirl, which causes the atoms to separate out and sort by like kind. A sort of membrane of atoms forms out of the circling atoms, enclosing others within it, and creating pressure by whirling. The outer membrane continually acquires other atoms from outside when it contacts them, which take fire as they revolve and form the stars, with the sun in the outermost circle. Worlds are formed, grow and perish, according to a kind of necessity (DK 67A1).
One direct quotation preserved from Leucippus says that nothing happens in vain (maten) but everything from logos and by necessity (DK 67B2). This has been found puzzling, since the reference to logos might seem to suggest that things are ruled by reason, an idea that Democritus' system excludes. Either Leucippus' system is different in this respect from that of Democritus, or the reference to logos here cannot be to a controlling mind. Barnes takes there to be no grounds for preferring either interpretation (Barnes 1984), but Taylor argues that Leucippus' position is that an account (or logos) can be given of the causes of all occurrences (Taylor 1999, p. 189). There is nothing in other reports to suggest that Leucippus endorsed the idea of a universal intelligence governing events.
Aristotle frequently pairs Leucippus and Democritus in his reports, including his account of the motivation for positing atoms and void. In particular, Aristotle associates Leucippus as well as Democritus with the deliberately paradoxical assertion that 'being is no more than not-being,' i.e., that void exists as much as the full or solid (DK 67A6). Schofield (2002) has argued that the more careful account in Simplicius shows that the ou mallon or 'no more' doctrine is due to Democritus. Following this lead, Graham (2008) suggests a new reading of Leucippus, wherein the distinction between atom and void is actually based on a reading of Parmenides' Doxa, his cosmological account. Rather than logical abstractions, Being and Not-being, Leucippus' atoms would in essence be based on Parmenides' cosomological contraries, night and light. If this line of interpretation is followed, Leucippus' notion of atom and void might have been rather different from Democritus', and Aristotle's tendency to refer to the two in conjunction somewhat misleading.

Aristotle frequently paiؠs Leucippus and Democrituؐ in his reports, including his ƾݧcount of te motivation f݂r positing atoms and void. In particularֺ Aristotle associates Leucippus as we˂l as Democri˳us with the deliberate̸y paradoxical assertion that 'be֫ng is no more than not-being,' i.e., that void exists as muchڳas theΝfull or solid (DK 67A6). Schofield (2002) has argued that the more careɠul account in Simpliciu̔ shows that the ou mallon or 'no moؙe' doctrine is due to Democritus. Following this leԻd, Graham (2008) suggests a new reading of Leucippus, wherein ֧he distinction between atom and void is actually based on a reading of Parmenides' Doxa, his cosmological account. Rather than logical abstractions, Being and Not-being, Leucippus' atoms would in essence be based on Parmenides' cosomological contraries, night and light. If this line of interpʵetation is followed, Leucippus' اotion of atom and void might have been rather different from Democritus', and Aristotle's tendency to ref˃r to the two in conjunction somewhat misleading.

Ultrasound at Physio-Vet
This is the same machine as human physiotherapists use. Ultrasound uses sound waves to vibrate soft tissue and promote healing. The machine can be used in continuous or pulsed mode. Continuous mode is used to warm the target tissue that will then promote heating. Even very deep muscles can be warmed. In pulsed mode the sound waves are switched on and off. This pulsing is useful for breaking down adhesions in tissues and particularly tendons.
Ultrasound is used to stimulate collagen which is a building block for healing tissue. Soft tissues with a high collagen content will absorb the most ultrasound waves making it very useful for tendons, ligaments, fascia, joint capsules and scar tissue.
Ultrasound will also stimulate circulation by increasing the blood supply to the injured area, helping to maximize the healing process.
Ultrasound does not travel through air and to allow the ultrasound waves to enter the body we must use a coupling agent. This can be a gel or water. We have to be careful not to create air bubbles between the coat and skin of the animal when using the ultrasound.

As the nurse informatician moves toward implementation of a system, user support becomes paramount. Procedure manuals will be developed that will describe how to perform business tasks while using the system.
Gap analysis is used to determine the steps required to move from a current state or actual performance or situation to a new one or potential performance or situation, and the “gap” between the two that requires action or resources. Steps to gap analysis include:
- assessing the current situation and listing important factors, such as performance levels, costs, staffing, and satisfaction, and all processes
- identifying the current outcomes of processes
- identifying the target outcomes for projected processes
- outlining the process required to achieve target outcomes
- identifying the gaps that are present
- identifying resources and methods to close the gaps
While performance appraisal is sometimes prompted by disciplinary action, this is not usually the case, and while the actual review of the performance appraisal may be scheduled and the time in which an individual should reach a goal limited, generally performance appraisal should be an ongoing process that continues from one review period to another (usually annually) in order to provide feedback to the individual and help the individual reach goals.
The GUI (graphical user interface) facilitates interaction between the user and the computer. The user interface is the means by which the individual interacts with the computer. Provided by Microsoft Windows, the GUI provides a means of navigating within the computer environment. The GUI is part of the computer operating system. It is the “desktop”screen, usually with icons that can be activated by clicking them with a mouse or selecting with a trackball or other device, such as menus, windows, and other standard screen features intended to make using a computer as intuitive as possible. The design of the GUI should be intuitive so that the user can determine what actions to take without written instructions, and thus decreasing the amount of time required to learn new programs and eliminate the need to memorize commands.
A dashboard (also called a digital dashboard), like the dashboard in a car, is an easy access and read computer program that integrates a variety of performance measures or key indicators into one display (usually with graphs or charts) to provide an overview of an organization. It might include data regarding patient satisfaction, infection rates, financial status, or any other measurement that is important to assess performance. The dashboard provides a running picture of the status of the department or organization at any point in time, and may be updated as desired, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.
- dashboard display
- is intended to piece all of relevant information together from various systems on one screen
- reflect real-time data
- bring together key performance indicators for business decisions or clinical data from several systems into clinical dashboard
The ADA provides disabled persons, including those with mental impairment, access to employment and the community. Employers are only allowed to ask applicants if they need accommodations, not if they have disabilities. Applicants may be asked if they can carry out essential functions of a job, not incidental, and medical examinations can only be required after a job is offered. Accommodations can include alterations in a work station, speech recognition software, screen magnifying software, optical character recognition systems, video captioning, Braille readers and screen readers, adapted keyboards, and on-screen keyboard, TTYs (text telephones), and amplification systems.
- developed by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1966
- define those licensed to provide services and describe medical and surgical treatments, diagnostics, and procedures.
- The use of CPT codes is mandated by both CMS and HIPPA to provide a uniform language and to aid research.
- The code set is copyrighted by the AMA and is continually evaluated and updated annually in October of each year coordination with CMS.
- These codes are used primarily for billing purposes for insurances (public and private). HHS has designed CPT codes as part of the national standard for electronic health care transactions: (Medicare utilizes an adjusted form of CPT, the HCPCS code. While ICD-9 codes are used to code for procedures, ICD-9 coding is used only for inpatients.
- 3 categories of CPT
- Category I: Identify a procedure or services
- evaluation and management
- pathology and laboratory
- Category II: Identify performance measures, including diagnostic procedures
- Category III: Identify temporary codes for technology and data collection
- The HCPCS: developed to covered the CPT coded services and other services, such as DME, supplies, drugs, or ambulance services.
- is in 2 levels
- level I: same as CPT codes
- level II: more extensively for supplies, equipment, and auxilliary services not normally passing through a physician’s office.

A new study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI) has suggested that the cause of eczema is due to a protein deficiency.
Researchers indicated through a human model system, in which the epidermis was modified using molecular techniques to become filaggrin-deficient, that a lack of this protein can cause development of the itchy inflammatory skin condition through affecting other proteins and pathways in the skin.
The findings came from researchers from Newcastle University, in collaboration with scientists at global dermatological pharmaceutical company Stiefel GSK.
Lead investigator and Professor of Dermatology at Newcastle University, Nick Reynolds said, “We have shown for the first time that loss of the filaggrin protein alone is sufficient to alter key proteins and pathways involved in triggering eczema. This research reinforces the importance of filaggrin deficiency leading to problems with the barrier function in the skin and predisposing someone to eczema.”
Nina Goad of the British Association of Dermatologists said of the study, “This latest research from Newcastle is crucial as it expands on our knowledge of how filaggrin impacts on other proteins and pathways in the skin, which in turn trigger the disease. This type of research allows scientists to develop treatments that target the actual root cause of the disease, rather than just managing its symptoms. Given the level of suffering eczema causes, this is a pivotal piece of research.”

A thermometer is usually calibrated using two approaches: the ice point method and the boiling point method. This temperature measuring device����must be calibrated daily if repeatedly used. Otherwise, a thermometer����should be adjusted prior to its����initial usage, when switching from one temperature to another or every time it����is dropped.Continue Reading
In certain industries, particularly in the food processing sector, calibrating a thermometer is essential to ensure accurate temperature readings. The inexpensive and simplest methods of utilizing ice water and boiling water are widely used in adjusting a thermometer.
Ice point method
The first step when using this technique is to fill a container with crushed ice and clean tap water. After stirring, the thermometer probe is then placed in the solution, with the sensing area fully immersed for a minimum of 30 seconds or until the indicator has stopped moving. Extra care should be taken in preventing the stem from coming into contact with the sides or bottom of the container. With the probe still submerged, the thermometer is adjusted until it reads 32 degrees Fahrenheit. In the case of a digital thermometer, pressing the reset button automatically adjusts the device.
Boiling point method
The same basic steps in the ice point method are taken when using the boiling point technique, except that the thermometer stem is submerged in boiling water, and then adjusted to a reading of 212 F.Learn more about Thermodynamics

Surgical Procedure to Treat Type 2 Diabetes
A surgical procedure could soon be accessible in the UAE as mentioned at diabetes health forum.
Doctors were not hopeless that metabolic operation may help reverse the effects of the disorder, but warned that it was to consider it as a remedy in all situations.
"Many patients who have operation can go into circumstances of prolonged remission and a few even for life.
"From being a disorder treated by drugs, diabetes becomes a disorder that also can be treated by operation. Conceptually, this can be among the largest revolutions for diabetes and an astonishing improvement."
Prof Rubino, who's patenting the process, said the operation may never be a "mass treatment" as it was hard to perform on countless individuals.
An estimated 34 million individuals reside in the Mena area with Type 2 diabetes and about 19 per cent of the UAE’s public is diagnosed.
The typical world-wide amount is 8.3 per cent.
"Kings College is putting together this job in the Emirates and this can be among the disciplines that we should develop," Prof Rubino said.
A consultant endocrinologist at Burjeel Hospital, Dr Job Simon, said metabolic operation appeared to help those with early-stage diabetes.
"If the operation is done in the first five years of a man getting diabetes, the odds of remission are more. Remission doesn’t occur for people that experienced diabetes for quite a while," said Dr Simon.
Dr Simon said the likelihood of diabetes remission were greater with other processes, for example a sleeve gastrectomy, although there was no promise of success than with a gastric bypass.
"It’s worth a notion, but an oversimplification.
Some studies demonstrated that diabetes remission could be also achieved by a low calorie diet, Dr Simon said.
"If you’re a youthful, healthy man who gets diabetes, exercising and eating a low-calorie diet can help it is possible to reach remission."
"If the patient’s BMI is more than 40, we can dispose of about 40 kilos, and generally in most instances we find a treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery can partly or completely treat diabetes," said Dr Saghir. "Occasionally the result just isn't positive." Get more details at diabetes forum

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Preliminary study results show that no chemicals used for fracking on natural gas drilling well sites have contaminated any drinking water aquifers at the site. Study officials, however, caution it is way too early to make any definite conclusions.
The study, funded through the U.S. Department of Energy, is being conducted by the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh.
It marks the first time a drilling company let government scientists inject special tracers into the fracking fluid and then continue regular monitoring to see whether it spread toward drinking water sources.
“NETL has been conducting a study to monitor for any signs of groundwater contamination as a result of hydraulic fracturing operations at a site on the Marcellus Shale formation in Pennsylvania,” said Shelley Martin, media relations manager for NETL in an e-mail.
Hydraulic fracturing is a process commonly used in oil development. It is a technique that cracks open rock layers to free natural gas.
The study site is in Greene County, which is located southwest of Pittsburgh.
After a year of monitoring, the researchers found the fluids, combined with chemicals used to free trapped gas during fracking, stayed below the shallower areas that supply drinking water.
Drilling fluids with markers were injected more than 8,000 feet below the surface, but were not found in a zone of 3,000 feet higher. It means that the chemical laced fluid used for fracking stayed away from the drinking water supplies.
Martin cautions this study is in the infancy stages and more research is needed.
“We are still in the early stages of collecting, analyzing and validating data from this site. While nothing of concern has been found thus far, the results are far too preliminary to make any firm claims,” Martin said.
A final report on the results is expected by the end of the year.

Fats & Oils
Healthy fats can be your friend. There are different kinds of fats found in our food. Here is a quick breakdown:
Saturated Fats: These are solid at room temperature. They are shelf-stable, resistant to heat damage, and essential to many bodily functions. When a fat is stable that means it doesn’t oxidize as quickly leading to inflammation and clogged arteries. They are found in animal products like meat, butter, & cream. It is also found in coconut oil. Where things go wrong for saturated fat is in hydrogenated oils. This process turns it into trans fats which come oxidized and that is what you do not want.
Polyunsaturated Fats: These are typically liquid at room temperature. They can be divided into two groups – omega-3 and omega-6. Both are important for heart health but omega-3s also help to reduce inflammation and are important for cognitive function. Fish oil is the best source of Omega 3 fat, but our bodies can make it from plants, like flaxseed also. Where polyunsaturated fats go wrong in when the Omega 6 is much higher than the Omega 3. These are found in industrialized seed oils like soybean, safflower, and canola. For healthy sources of polyunsaturated fats, you can find them in pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, pine nuts, and walnuts.
Monounsaturated Fats: These are also usually liquid at room temperature and are more stable than polyunsaturated. Health experts agree they’re the healthiest type as they help to lower total and LDL cholesterol but, unlike polyunsaturated, they also maintain levels of HDL or good cholesterol, making them a great choice for a healthy heart. The foods highest in this fat are olives, olive oil, avocados, avocado oil, macadamia nuts, hazel nuts, and the high oleic varieties of sunflower, canola, safflower oils.
Here is a great article going into detail of the benefits of monounsaturated fats.
Now for some practical ways to integrate this information. When you cook, cook with avocado oil, olive oil, or butter. For salad dressings, try to find ones made with olive oil or avocado oil. Have some olives, almonds or macadamia nuts for a small snack. By making these changes, you will reduce your exposure to the inflammation causing omega 6 fats and will be supporting your heart, brain and body.
Fat can be your friend.

Patients with chronic illnesses, accident victims and elders with changing health-care needs are just some of the people who may require a variety of medical services and treatments over time. A care transition coordinator helps patients move through different levels and types of care at different facilities. For example, a care transition coordinator assists patients moving from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility and then to their homes. The coordinator makes sure all the doctors, therapists and other caregivers have the information necessary to deliver care to the patient. At the same time, the caregiver communicates with the patient and his family to make sure all needs are met.
History and Goals
Though the idea of care coordination has existed for many years and case managers have played a role in managing patient care for decades, the formal role of a care transition coordinator coincides with the drive toward health-care reform. Pilot programs such as the University of Pennsylvania’s Transition Care Model have shown that a care transition coordinator can reduce medical costs by reducing or eliminating duplicate services, medication errors and hospital readmissions and increasing positive outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Care transition coordinators are one part social worker and one part health professional. They interact with medical professionals on a variety of levels but are also charged with ensuring the patient has adequate support at home after discharge. In some instances, the care transition coordinator may arrange for Meals on Wheels or visiting nurses or other social services for the patient. Some programs have care transition teams that pair a nurse with a social worker, while others recruit a nurse who also has a social work degree. The New York Academy of Medicine recommends that care transition coordinators have at least a bachelor’s degree in nursing, gerontology, public health or social work. Alternatively, a coordinator could have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, sociology or a related field and two years’ experience in public or private social service, preferably in a health-care setting. Advanced degrees, such as a registered nurse or a master’s degree in social work, are also desirable.
Care transition coordinators should have advanced training and experience in the duties of care coordination. In addition, the coordinator will need continuing education each year. For instance, the New York Academy of Medicine recommends that care coordinators have at least six hours of training each year. Some programs may require care transition coordinators to have certification in specialties such as geriatrics or case management. States may offer their own certification programs, or potential care transition coordinators could receive certification from national organizations such as the National Association of Geriatric Case Managers.
The care transition coordinator works with medical professionals and the patient and his family to foster communications and effective, efficient care. Her goal is to assure quality of care as the patient transitions through the medical system. She regularly assesses the patient, including making home visits in some cases, and works with the patient’s medical team to chart the patient’s progress and monitor how well it follows the plan. She makes sure the patient understands medical instructions and that the medical team understands the patient’s needs and concerns. As the patient’s advocate and the care team’s representative, she tries to make sure everyone works together for the benefit of the patient.

So we all know that fruits and vegetables are good for you but what makes a fruit a fruit and a vegetable a vegetable? It is actually quite simple to determine the difference because fruits have seeds and vegetables do not. But while by definition it is easy to classify fruits and vegetables, some are still difficult to figure out. Good thing there are other ways!
Vegetables are considered as the edible parts of a plant such as the flower buds of a cauliflower or a broccoli, the leaf of spinach or the roots of the beet. Basically any part of the plant that does not play a role in the reproductive cycle of the plant is considered a vegetable.Fruits usually develop from the flower of a plant, thus it is considered as the mature ovary of a plant. Fruits have seeds and they can be used in the continuation of the reproductive cycle of a plant. Most of the time people use the terms sweet to define fruits and savory for vegetables. Take tomatoes for example. Tomatoes develop from flowers and have seeds which mean they can be best classified as fruits, but most people think it is a vegetable since they use it in savory dishes such as sauces, stew, soups and salads.
Normally, most people categorize fruits as desserts or snacks while vegetables are considered part of a meal. This is because fruits are sweet since they contain fructose a simple sugar found in them.But both fruits and vegetables contain nutrients that are beneficial to you. They contain vitamins and are low in fat and calories.
Most vegetables have higher nutrient contents than fruits. Fruits contain higher calories than vegetables since they have higher sugar contents, however, some vegetables such as potatoes and beets have higher calories because they have high sugar contents too.The bottom line is regardless of being a fruit and vegetable. Eating nutritious food is important to leading a healthy life!
And that’s how fruits and vegetables are different. That took some thinking!

Most gardeners have had trouble getting a good carrot crop. Carrots are somewhat finicky plants and require specific conditions to grow well. Although soil is most important for every plant, it’s doubly so for carrots. This is why they actually grow better and more plentiful in containers in a controlled soil environment.
Containers have the advantage of having great soil (since you only put the best in there) that is free of large rocks and other impediments to straight carrot growth. The soil is also loose and airy, helping the carrots dig deeper more easily.
Soil for Container Carrots
You should use the best potting soil you can muster. It should be loose, but not sandy. Good compost mixed with good, loose topsoil, purchased potting mixes, a peat mix, or any other mix that is high in nutrients and free of rocks and disease will work well.
Nearly every time, you’ll have weed-free growing and few (if any) pest problems when growing in pots. The containers do need to be fairly deep in order to allow the carrots to grow down. Pots at least a foot deep are best.
Carrot Varieties to Grow in Containers
Most carrot types will grow well in containers. In shorter containers, try Parmex, which grows in a roundish ball. Kinbi is a yellow variety that is relatively short as is Nelson, which is a Nantes variety that grows only about six inches long and has a lot of flavor – a favorite amongst juicers. Most varieties don’t grow longer than 1 foot, but you’ll want to stick with those that are in the 6-9 inch range if you can.
How and When to Plant and Harvest Container Carrots
Planting can be done at any time the weather will be warm enough for the carrots to grow. Many container growers have their containers on wheeled carts or able to be lifted with a hand truck and will grow indoors, taking them outside during the day and back in over the frosty night. This can allow most people to grow all year round.
Plant as you would in the ground, following the packet instructions. Most carrot seeds are “drilled” into the ground about a quarter of an inch or so. Then watered carefully. You can also “broadcast” plant carrot seeds and cover them with a thin layer of soil or vermiculate.
Once the seedlings are sprouted and about an inch high, begin thinning. You can pull them or cut them back, but thin them down to about one or two inches apart. These sprouts can be eaten as any other sprout and are great salad toppers, so don’t throw them out!
When the carrot reach the young “baby carrot” stage where the plants are about six or seven inches high and the root is about two or three inches long, thin them again. You want to leave the remainder about six inches apart. These baby carrots that you’ve pulled are excellent eating and are young and tender.
Carrots will need fertilizer every couple of weeks. This can be a good compost tea, commercial potting plant fertilizer, or whatever you’d prefer. It should be a basically even mix (10-10-10). They will need water regularly – about every two or three days, depending on your climate.
You can harvest at about 70 days. If you plant your carrots in rotation in containers, you can have a continual harvest all year!

You should use the best potting soil you can muster. It should be loose, but not sandy. Good compost mixed with good, loose topsoil, purchased potting mixes, a peat mix, or any other mix that is high in nutrients and free of rocks and disease will work well.
Nearly every time, you’ll have weed-free growing and few (if any) pest problems when gr֕wing in pots. The containers do need to be fairly deep in order to allow the carrots tۜ grow down. Pots at least a foot deep are best.
Carrot Varieties to Grow in Containers
Most carrot types will grow well in containers. In shorter containers, try Parmex, whichӽgrows in a roundish ball. Kinbi is a yellow variety that is relatively sȯort as is Nelson, which iկ a NaЪtes variety that grows only about six inches ǹonۑ and has a loڇ of flavor – ߇ favorite amongst j߭cers. Most varietڇes߯don’t grow longer ٘han 1ڗfoot, but you’llСwant to sӉɪcպ with thos܌ thaׇ ގӃe in the ؖ-9 ˖n݉h range if you ύۜn.

“To achieve greatness one should live as if they will never die.” — Francois de La Rochefoucauld “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them,” declared William Shakespeare. Helen ...
“To achieve greatness one should live as if they will never die.” — Francois de La Rochefoucauld
“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them,” declared William Shakespeare.
Helen Keller contracted what is believed to have been meningitis or scarlet fever at the age of 19 months and was left permanently deaf and blind. Her parents knew their chances of finding a teacher to work with her were slim, given their remote location in Alabama. Yet this did not deter her mother, Kate Keller from finding a teacher by the name of Anne Sullivan.
Anne had overcome her own physical problems to include vision complications which required repeated surgery to correct. Over the coming years Sullivan taught the ten-year-old Keller to read Braille to aid her learning capabilities.
It later became evident that Keller was eager to gain knowledge and soon after, graduated magna cum laude from Radcliffe College. Keller became a life-long advocate for the disabled and wrote twelve books, travelling to over 40 countries as a renowned speaker and author. Of the many honours received for her accomplishments, Keller obtained the Presidential Medal of Freedom, known as the highest civilian medal awarded by the President of the United States.
In light of Helen Keller’s story, I’d like you to consider your definition of greatness.
In their book, The Winner’s Brain by Dr Jeff Brown and Mark Fenske the authors state, “In 1954, psychologist Julian Rotter coined the term locus of control to refer to people’s belief about what causes good and bad things to happen in their lives. An internal locus of control reflects the belief you are master of your own destiny; an external locus of control reflects just the opposite.”
Helen Keller maintained a strong locus of control given her accomplishments and in view of her disabilities. It begs the question: are we born into greatness or does it develop it over time? I affirm that greatness is formed as a result of a nurturing environment. For some, hardship means to recoil in resignation. For others like Keller, it presents the opportunity to overcome restrictions to win through.
You are never presented with an experience to the sum of your conditioning. We must venture beyond our harbour of contentment if we wish to discover our genius.
Recognise your limitations but don’t let them define you. Similarly, don’t be deceived by a limited consciousness – expand, expand, expand your mind. In stating the obvious, being unaware of your potential means you’re less inclined to unearth your greatness. Those who know of their potential have an unyielding self-belief to expose themselves to the unknown.
“It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.” – Seneca
Just as a tightrope walker knows death is imminent if he loses balance, he continues to push past the precipice of fear into the unknown. It is there he develops a deep respect for his pursuit, knowing his life can be taken away from him at any moment.
Don’t place limitations on what you perceive is possible. Far too many people discount what they’re capable of, given self-imposed ceilings of limitations. Those same people set lofty goals yet wonder why life is not imbued with passion. Take charge by accepting responsibility for your actions, irrespective of whether circumstances play out in your favour or not. Greatness summons you to venture into the unknown, often without a clear vision.
There are no assurances when one yields to greatness. Talent, genius and your impending gifts serve you when you step into your power. Greatness is attained when we follow our passions and build on our successes. As we pursue our dreams, our goals and our desires, we invest in our greatness.
“The greatest men and women are not competing against you; they are competing against themselves each and every day. You are your greatest competition," affirms Dr Stan Beecham in his book Elite Minds.
Greatness demands we overcome our inherent shortcomings as we are exposed to that which scares us. Author David Potter states, “We might gain perspective by considering how the Ancient Greeks determined greatness in athletes. Then and now, true greatness is as defined not by a single moment, but by the ability to build a record of extraordinary achievement.”
Greatness is attained when we dare to play big and for this reason it is commensurate with humility. The great are humble, knowing their talents, gifts and genius are expressed through them as infinite intelligence.
Equally, others suggest greatness extends from the soul. When an individual cultivates their soul’s gifts, greatness results to express this faculty. Those like Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr. and others understood that to have an emotional impact on people, they had to align with their soul’s calling. It is written into their words and actions.
Pursue integrity by aligning with your deepest values. Honour these values to invest in your greatness. Just as connecting with your deepest nature reflects your soul’s quality, integrity is the glue which binds actions to greatness.
We are the sum of our actions and in the same way actions express our thoughts, they also reflect our self-worth. You strengthen your self-esteem by elevating your internal locus of control everytime you honour your integrity.
Shakespeare proposed three conditions for greatness in the opening quote while the Roman philosopher Seneca suggested adversity commands the path to greatness. Either way, greatness is the journey to overcome our limitations.
It was Michelangelo who affirmed, “In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.”
I urge you to unearth your greatness, thus exposing the façade obscuring it.
In time, our doubts and fears will break away revealing your true, strong self. It this self that shall be seen by all.

On September 8, Delaware governor Jack A. Markell signed into law a bill allowing 16-year-olds to preregister to vote. The passage of the law makes Delaware the sixth state (plus the District of Columbia) to adopt youth voter preregistration reforms aimed at engaging young citizens in the political process. Such programs have been shown to increase turnout and improve long-term voting habits among young voters. Similar bills are being considered in other states.

Modern history is marked by the struggle of societies to dismantle barriers of class. This struggle continues to this day with more and more nations and societies moving ever forward in achieving the ideals first expressed in the streets of Paris in 1789 - "Liberte! Egalite! Fraternite!" On the other side of the Atlantic, another struggle that started in 1776 saw its culmination in the same year 1789 with the inauguration of the United States of America's first president, George Washington.
This confluence of events in the signal year of the Enlightenment Period shook the very foundations of the Feudal world of Europe. Suddenly, the entire social structure rooted on a class system where a very small nobility is supported by a vast mass of people who constituted the peasantry was threatened with collapse.
The nobility faced the possibility of extermination by an enraged mass of the great unwashed. Indeed, in October 1793, four years after the events of Bastille Day (14 July), 1789, Marie Antoinette, hitherto Queen of France, scion of the House of Habsburg the oldest and longest-lived dynasty in Europe, daughter of the popular and well-loved Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Hungary stepped up to the guillotine at Place de la Revolution and was beheaded.
Marie Antoinette, in all her finery
And thus, started the long struggle to eliminate class barriers within societies. Today, most of Europe is unhindered by class and where it still is observed as a quaint aspect of custom and tradition, commoners, as the peasants of yore are now called, can aspire to nobility and royalty. The most recent commoner to achieve this is the new Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Windsor nee Middleton, wife of William, third in line to the British Throne.
The newly-minted Duchess of Cambridge at the balcony of the Buckingham Palace being kissed by her groom, Prince William of Wales
However, most modern nations have seen the elimination of nobility and class. Do a double-take of that last sentence. Elimination of class! Madame Imelda was right when she said that "I was no Marie Antoinette. I was not born to nobility, but I had a human right to nobility." Why indeed eliminate class which, in practice, means the elimination of the nobility? What happens to class in a classless society? A society of the great unwashed? "Let them eat cake!" so said Marie Antoinette when told that the people were up in arms because they had no bread to eat.
Why aspire to a state of the great unwashed? In Madame's book, we are all better off aspiring to nobility. How wonderful it would be if we are all nobles and royals. Everyone has a title and has the right to wear a crown, coronet, tiara or what-have-you and don ermine. Everyone lives in a castle, a chateau, or a palace!
Imagine, your office cleaner could be the Count of Monte Cristo! While your neighborhood garbage collector could be the Prince of Wales! Or the barista at your favorite coffee shop could be the Archduchess of Austria-Hungary, while the fishmonger at the market could be the the Duchess of Cornwall and the butcher could be the Duke of Alba and the baker could be the Tsarevich of All the Russias. Think of the possibilities, on arriving in Paris, the person driving your cab could be the Sun King himself, and the person checking you in at the Ritz could be the Duke of Orleans. Gosh, how fantabulous. How else could you not be so thrilled when the sushi chef preparing your dinner at Tokyo's Ginza District is the Crown Prince Naruhito? And the list can go on and on....
And wouldn't normal conversation be so classy! With all the highnesses and majesties peppering everyday interactions, who wouldn't be breathless! "Welcome to (Name of coffee shop) I am William Albert Philip and so on and on, Duke of Cambridge, how may I help you?" and you reply "I'd like to have a Cafe Americano, Your Royal Highness." "Will that be for here or to go, Your Most Serene Highness?" and you retort, "for Vandolph, Your Royal Highness!" You wait awhile and you hear, "One Cafe Americano, for His Serene Highness (Your Name), Prince of Smokey Mountain, Protector of Balut, Elector of Isla Puting Bato, Sovereign of etc., etc., etc."
In an Imeldific world, everybody goes from point A to point B in a Rolls-Royce, or a carriage, or a vintage Aston-Martin. There is no place for buses and trains; neither would there be airlines. Everyone flies in his or her own Lear Jet or Airbus 380 or sails in their own custom-made Britannia. Wouldn't that be great!
The Royal Yacht Brittania
See, no traffic! Nobility has its perks!
And everyone's wedding becomes a spectacle watched by two-and-a-half billion other royals. Imagine the pomp and pageantry, everyone can stay glued to the television for days on end with the media matter-of-factly reporting the proceedings. We will be relieved of gushing news reporters and anchors who know not what it is to be part of nobility. "This is Jessica Soho, Queen of Timog Avenue, reporting," while regally balancing a crown on her head holding a microphone on her left hand and waving a scepter on her right, "back to Your Imperial Majesty, Arnold, Emperor of Dapitan, Marquis of Laong-Laan, Earl of P. Noval."
Madame has been the target of so much criticism, maligned and ridiculed, in the end, she made sense.

Green's Function, Finite Elements and Microwave Planar Circuits
John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
259 pages; $65
Applying Green's function to planar microwave circuits is well accepted as a fundamental tool in electromagnetic analysis. This book presents comprehensive and detailed methods for describing practical microwave circuits numerically using various modern mathematical techniques. Planar resonators, gyromagnetic circuits and junction isolators are some examples analyzed using Green's function. In addition, the text provides a detailed explanation of finite element method (FEM) techniques used for determining the solution of planar isotropic and gyromagnetic circuits.
The book begins with descriptions of planar circuits, and governing differential equations and associated boundary conditions. The Green's function and its application to regular microwave circuits are described, including its use with rectangular patch and ring geometry. Green's description of open-circuit parameters in regular circuits is discussed with examples of one- and two-port rectangular patches.
Interpolation using finite elements is explained with an introduction to simplex polynomials and a detailed description of the triangular and rectangular elements used in the FEM. Finite element calculations are described with their associated matrix evaluations. FEM techniques are then employed to analyze a cloverleaf resonator with three- and four-fold symmetry. The eigenvalues of planar resonators with an electric rather than magnetic wall are described, as well as resonators with a mix of both magnetic and electric boundaries. A three-port junction circulator is used as an example of Green's function analysis using the FEM. Other subjects covered include the contour integral method; network parameters of reciprocal planar and N-port nonreciprocal circuits; energy functionals of gyromagnetic waveguides; and matrices, quadratic forms and energy functions.
This book offers a highly specialized treatment of a fundamental microwave analysis tool. The book was written specifically for engineers and post-graduate researchers engaged in the analysis and development of planar circuits.

FINCAD: Fin-line Analysis and Synthesis for Millimeter-wave Applications
S. Raghu Kumar, Anita Sarraf
and R. Sathyavageeswaran
Artech House Inc.
48 pages plus software; $300, £250
The fin line is one of the most important transmission media for mm-wave ICs, offering several distinct advantages over other types of transmission media such as microstrip. Basically, the fin line is a slot line inserted in the E-plane of a waveguide perpendicular to the broadside of the waveguide. The structure supports a hybrid transmission mode with the conducting pattern printed on either side of the dielectric substrate using MIC techniques. The advantages are low loss, waveguide compatibility and less stringent dimensional tolerances. Fin lines have been used succesfully from 30 to 170 GHz.
The software and associated operating manual enable microwave and mm-wave design engineers to analyze and synthesize a variety of fin-line structures. The software generates complete dispersion and propagation details, including normalized guide wavelength and characteristic impedance. The program also synthesizes any fin-line configuration for a given set of propagation characteristics by utilizing the spectral domain technique.
The fin-line software package is equipped with a built-in root-finding routine and a powerful graphics tool that gives users the freedom to zoom in on visuals. The program is user friendly with on-screen instructions and sophisticated on-line help.
The associated instruction manual provides an introduction to fin lines and a description of the software program capabilities. The manual details the various functions the software performs, including calculating dispersion characteristics, and analyzing and synthesizing a given fin-line structure. Methods of manipulating the graphics display are described and the various utility functions are explained.
Primarily, the software is a tool for fin-line component designers at microwave and mm-wave frequencies. The software provides an easy and efficient method of analyzing and synthesizing fin-line structures.

The Morning Glory cloud is a rare meteorological phenomenon occasionally observed in different locations around the world. The southern part of Northern Australia’s Gulf of Carpentaria is the only known location where it can be predicted and observed on a more or less regular basis. The settlement of Burketown attracts glider pilots intent on riding this phenomenon.
Morning Glory clouds can most often be observed in Burketown in September to mid-November, when the chance to see it early in the morning is approximately 40%.
A Morning Glory cloud is a roll cloud that can be up to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) long, 1 to 2 kilometres (0.62 to 1.2 mi) high, often only 100 to 200 metres (330 to 660 ft) above the ground and can move at speeds up to 60 kilometres (37 mi) per hour. Sometimes there is only one cloud, sometimes there are up to eight consecutive roll clouds.
The Morning Glory is often accompanied by sudden wind squalls, intense low-level wind shear, a rapid increase in the vertical displacement of air parcels, and a sharp pressure jump at the surface. In the front of the cloud, there is strong vertical motion that transports air up through the cloud and creates the rolling appearance, while the air in the middle and rear of the cloud becomes turbulent and sinks.
The cloud can also be described as a solitary wave or a soliton, which is a wave that has a single crest and moves without changing speed or shape.
History of exploration
Unusual cloud formations have been noticed here since ancient times. The local Garrawa Aboriginal people called it kangólgi. Royal Australian Air Force pilots first reported this phenomenon in 1942.
The Morning Glory cloud of the Gulf of Carpentaria has been studied by multiple teams of scientists since the early 1970s. The first studies were published by Reg H.Clarke (University of Melbourne). Multiple studies have followed since then, proposing diverse mathematical models explaining the complex movements of air masses in region.
Despite being studied extensively, the Morning Glory cloud is not clearly understood.
Regardless of the complexity behind the nature of this atmospheric phenomenon, some conclusions have been made about its causes. Through research, one of the main causes of most Morning Glory occurrences is the mesoscale circulations associated with sea breezes that develop over the peninsula and the gulf. On the large scale, Morning Glories are usually associated with frontal systems crossing central Australia and high pressure in northern Australia. Locals have noted that the Morning Glory is likely to occur when the humidity in the area is high, which provides moisture for the cloud to form, and when strong sea breezes have blown the preceding day.
Scenario for formation
The following is a summary of the conditions that cause the Morning Glory cloud to form in the Gulf of Carpentaria (after hypothesis of R.H.Clarke, as described in 1981). First, Cape York which is the peninsula that lies to the east of the gulf is large enough that sea breezes develop on both sides. The breeze from the Coral Sea coast blows in from the east and the breeze from the gulf blows in from the west. The two breezes meet in the middle of the peninsula, forcing the air to rise there and form a line of clouds over the spine of the peninsula. When night comes, the air cools and descends and at the same time a surface inversion forms over the gulf (where air temperature increases with height). The densities in this stable layer are different above and below the inversion. The air descending from the peninsula to the east goes underneath the inversion layer and this generates a series of waves or rolling cylinders which travel across the gulf. These cylinders of air roll along the underside of the inversion layer, so that the air rises at the front of the wave and sinks at the rear. In the early morning, the air is saturated enough so that the rising air in the front produces a cloud, which forms the leading edge of the cylinder, and evaporates in the back, hence forming the Morning Glory cloud. The cloud lasts until the surface inversion disappears with the heating of the day.
This is one scenario that explains the formation of the Morning Glory Cloud over the Gulf of Carpentaria, but other explanations have also been proposed.
There are other ways in which Morning Glory clouds form, especially in rarer cases in other parts of the world, but these are far less understood.
Local weather lore in the area suggests that when the fridges frost over and the café tables’ corners curl upwards at the Burketown Pub, there is enough moisture in the air for the clouds to form. Reportedly, all winds cease at ground level as the cloud passes over.
One vantage point to see Australia’s Morning Glory is from Burketown in the remote Far North Queensland around September and October. Towns in this part of the world are small and far apart, and Burketown has an influx of glider and hang-glider pilots at this time of year.
Other reported occurrences
Although the Morning Glory clouds over the southern part of Carpentaria Gulf are the most frequent and predictable, similar phenomena have occasionally been observed elsewhere, e.g., over central United States, the English Channel, Berlin, Germany, Eastern Russia, and other maritime regions of Australia.
Morning Glory clouds have occasionally been reported in the Sea of Cortez off the Mexican coast. The phenomenon has also been observed from Sable Island, 180 km southeast of Nova Scotia. A Morning Glory also passed through Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in April 2009. In contrast to the Gulf of Carpentaria where the Morning Glory is visible in the morning, those in Nova Scotia have all occurred during the evening. Rare examples have been observed via satellite observation over the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf in the Eastern Kimberley region of Australia as well as over the Arabian Sea. A Morning Glory cloud was observed in 2007 over the Campos dos Goytacazes bay in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In August 2011, it happened again over Peregrino Field in South Campos Basin in Brazil. The phenomenon was also recorded on Batroun’s shore (Lebanon — Middle East) in September 2004.

Cover of the first edition of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, printed in Venice in 1564
Copernicus was born in Poland on February 19, 1473 and died on May 24, 1543, at 70 years old, in Prussia. He is considered the father of the heliocentric theory. That is, that the all stars rotate around the sun. In the terrestrial case, Copernicus formulated the astronomical theory in which he explained that the planets revolved around the sun and against the geocentric belief that he believed that all the planets revolved around the Earth, center of creation of the universe, according to the Catholic Church during the Renaissance.
Copernicus refrained from publishing his work until his death, despite having the ecclesiastical support, and who was also a Catholic priest. However, after his death, his works were included in the "Index librorum prohibitorum" or "Index of Forbidden Books" by the Catholic Church, which excommunicated all who read these works.
On The Revolutions of The Heavenly Spheres, inside cover.
The Catholic Church banned his book on the 5th of March, 1616. It was not until February 8th, 1966, that Pope Paul VI accepted that the Church was mistaken about Copernicus.

One of the modern ways that have been applied in recent times but not in the past is the use of wilderness therapy as a way of advising teens. The method has been found to be favorable for teenagers though it can also be used to help adults who are in the 18-28 age bracket. The main purpose of the therapy is behavior modification in teens and youths who are in dire need for behavioral change. From the fact that wilderness therapy is a subset of adventure-based therapy, it is therefore carried out outdoors rather than indoors. It is good to note that wilderness therapy may not be an answer to all problems facing teens. It will only work for teens who are willing to learn and gain self-realization.
The first steps involves placing the learners into groups which is done by experts in the field. The groups should be constituted by a few individuals in order to have manageable groups. Leaders are assigned to each group, and their roles in guiding in the teens are spelt out. The teens are taken through the process of first accepting themselves and open up on matters that they hold in their minds. Some have been drug addicts or computer games addicts who may have resulted in a fractured relationship between the teens and other members of the society.
As earlier outlined the purpose of the therapy is to create self-awareness among the teens and young adults. The process is therefore aided by specialists who have a wide range of knowledge on challenges that teens face in their daily lives. It is useful to carry out the therapy in places away from their normal lives which help to reduce distraction and hence create a good environment for the learners, by avoiding their normal lives. The teens need only to carry the necessities which will include water food and a sleeping bag.
The instructor first helps the teens to realize they can control what is under their control and leave what they cannot under their control. To illustrate this, specific examples are given using physical features and things. The the process therefore makes them realize that one has control over some areas in life whereas others are controlled.
Wilderness experience is made up of challenges which when one can solve. Others will be out of their control, but they have time to figure out. It provides a good way to self-awareness. To solve the challenges they may need to unite and fight the challenge as a group if the challenge is common. But this should not deter one from coming up with ways to solve problems on their own. Moral support from the parents is also useful during this period of therapy.

Umbellularia californica (Hook. & Arn.) Nutt.
California laurel, California bay, Oregon myrtle, Pepperwood
Lauraceae (Laurel Family)
USDA Symbol: UMCA
This is a pungently aromatic, evergreen tree; its variable form dependent on habitat. Broad-crowned if open grown or narrow in shade, it is a slow grower to 40 ft. and sometimes remains an erect shrub in dry sites. The narrow, lance-shaped leaves are dark green and leathery. The bark is greenish to reddish-brown. Yellow-green flowers, 6-10 per flowering stem, are followed by greenish, avocado-like fruits which become dark purple when ripe. Evergreen tree with short trunk, usually forked into several large, spreading branches, forming a broad, rounded, dense crown of aromatic, peppery foliage; in exposed situations a low, thicket-forming shrub.
A handsome ornamental and street tree on the West Coast, it is also known as California-bay. When crushed, the foliage, twigs, and other parts are pungently aromatic. The attractive light brown wood with darker stalkless takes a beautiful finish and is used for veneer in furniture and paneling, cabinetwork, and interior trim. Prized for novelties and woodenware, it is often marketed as Oregon-myrtle, though a member of the Laurel Family. California Laurel and Sassafras (Sassafras albidum) are the northernmost New World representatives of this tropical family.

Antioxidants, substances that help prevent the damaging effects of oxidation on cells throughout your body, are plentiful in many foods, primarily fruits and vegetables. Because there are beneficial interactions between antioxidants and other components of foods, health authorities say that getting antioxidants from food may offer health benefits superior to those taken in supplement form.
Antioxidants in your morning coffee or tea may help prevent heart disease, according to the Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide. A study published in the October 2012 issue of the “International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology” found that polyphenol antioxidants in coffee and tea prevent oxidation of fats, a process that promotes widespread inflammation and can increase risk of heart disease and diabetes. Lighter roasts of coffee can provide up to four times the antioxidant activity of tea, according to Drs. Roseane M. Santos and Darcy R. Lima, co-authors of the book “An Unashamed Defense of Coffee: 101 Reasons to Drink Coffee Without Guilt.” However, darker roasts may retain little to none of the antioxidants present in raw coffee beans.
Berries, which have become known for their abundant quantities of health-promoting antioxidants, provide potentially more health-boosting benefits than the same antioxidants taken in supplement form, according to the Oregon State University Department of Food Science and Technology. Fiber and other compounds have a synergistic effect when combined with antioxidants.
Food Combining and Antioxidants
A study published in the September 2012 issue of the “Journal of Medicinal Food” found that certain combinations of antioxidant-rich foods offer particular benefits not found in the foods by themselves. When antioxidants in blueberry, strawberry and phytoplankton are combined, they together protect the nervous system by inhibiting an enzyme that may be involved in certain neurologic disorders, including autism, depression and schizophrenia.
Antioxidants in foods, including vitamins A, C and E, polyphenols and certain minerals, such as selenium boost immune function by quenching free radicals, highly-reactive compounds that are formed as byproducts of normal processes in the body or enter the body from the environment, according to Penn State University. By neutralizing these harmful compounds, antioxidants help prevent against some forms of cancer and can help bolster the immune system in the management of HIV infection. An animal study published in the October 2012 issue of the journal “Carcinogenesis” found that vitamin C increased activity of an important antioxidant enzyme that helps prevent breast cancer.
Antioxidants in foods, such as such as vitamins E and C, may help delay the aging process and prevent or even reverse memory loss, according to a study published in the December 2008 issue of the journal “Age.” In the animal study, blueberry-rich diets improved the ability of brain cells to maintain long-term communication and establish strong connections.
