These trends relate most closely to the transactional and transformational orientations. Some of the core trends are described briefly below with links to related developmental topics from various web sites. Character education -- attention to qualities of the students' being and acting in society that often focus on more intrapersonal and interpersonal aspects of student development. (Note: many works in this field also fall firmly into the transmission orientation as well, as can bee seen by browsing the books in Character Education Resources.) Cooperative learning -- working with students in groups so that the students learn more about working together rather than just independently. Developmental education -- focus on a child's growth across life stages, may include physical, intellectual, psychological, and/or spiritual development. Experiential learning -- the heart of many alternative philosophies of education, this in its simplest form means merely learning by doing. It can be incorporated into any philosophical approach or hodgepodge of educational practices. Learning styles -- refers to how each student often shows preferences for using various modes of learning such as learning best by reading, by hearing, or by moving their bodies. There are many ways to "cut the pie" for describing different learning styles. Multiple intelligences and emotional intelligence -- two specific, well-articulated, and often-referenced bodies of educational research that involve the writings of theorists Howard Gardner, Daniel Goleman, and many others who have now begun applied research in these developmental fields. Natural learning rhythms -- a more holistic approach to developmental education articulated especially well by Maria Montessori and more recently by EnCompass, through a series of programs for parents and educators. Whole language -- a well-documented approach for helping students learn to read that involves learning in context (like we learn to talk), and not solely through techniques such as phonics, grammar, or written symbols alone.	<urn:uuid:31e46493-ca96-4615-bd5b-b3fe49fbf551>	633	Articles and Chapters This section contains essays written by Ron Miller in recent years for conference presentations or for publication in anthologies or periodicals.

In 1462 Cosimo Medici established the rebirth of the outlawed Platonic Academy in Florence and appointed Marsilio Ficino as its founder. Ficino's fundamental concept, derived from Plato's geometry, was about the existence of eternal wisdom of the immortal soul being central to the functioning of the universe. The only geometrical logic that can possibly accommodate such an idea is fractal logic, which, in 20th Century science could not be linked to any sort of life science whatsoever. Did the Medici scholars of the 15th Century commission Italian artists to place hidden messages of pagan science into paintings that are now used to develop pagan technology today? A rather strong case argues that this is quite correct. We can conduct an investigation by examining two paintings commissioned by the Medici scholars, Sandro Botticelli and Domenico Ghirlandaio. Both the paintings were completed in Florence during 1480. It is common knowledge that Botticelli's Graces danced to the Pythagorean Music of the Spheres, imitating divine reason and cosmic order. Botticelli played a rather dangerous game by his habit of painting prominent Christian figures into the fabric of such a world-view reality. In his painting of St Augustine in His Study, Botticelli was definitely flirting with disaster. He disregarded Augustine's classification of the Pythagorean celestial mathematics embracing Epicurus' atomic structure within the human metabolism, as the work of the Devil. By painting a spherical brass book stud to depict the atom of the soul, Botticelli carefully placed it into the orbit of Augustine's halo, which, as a symbol of consciousness, linked divine reasoning with the Music of the Spheres. There is no doubt about the heretical meaning of the painting. A book behind Augustine's head is clearly opened to display a page of Pythagorean mathematics. To the right an astrolabe for observing celestial bodies is depicted and to the left is an armillary sphere, which is a model of celestial movement. Augustine's concentrated gaze is directed upon the celestial movement model depicting a geometer in deep philosophical thought. Celestial movement transferring divine evolving wisdom to the soul through harmonic resonance describes the scientific ethos of the 3rd Century BCE science of universal love. The scientist Giordano Bruno taught about this at Oxford University before he was imprisoned, tortured and burnt alive120 years after Botticelli painted his now famous painting with the same hidden message. Ghirlandaio's painting of St Jerome in his Study depicts Augustine's 5th Century colleague, who was also a prominent figure in the Christian religion. We realise that Botticelli did not place his spherical image book stud into Augustine's halo by mere chance because the device was very carefully repeated by Ghirlandaio placing a spherical book stud image into his own orbit of St Jerome's halo. The question as to whether this artistic depiction of pagan science influenced modern science is easily answered as yes. The Science-Art Research Centre of Australia, once alerted to Plato's spiritual optics by realising what Botticelli had attempted to depict, was able to draw up a research program to modify the optical key to Lenardo da Vinci's Theory of Knowledge. The 1991 Nobel Laureate in physics was awarded to Pierre de Gennes for his liquid crystal optics theories. The relevant discovery of a vast new science and technology by a research team the following year validated the nature of the technology that the Centre had predicted. The principal discoverer, wrote that the Centre's work encompassed a revolution of thought as important to science and society as the Copernican and Newtonian revolutions. The Science-Art Centre instigated a highly successful research program during the 1980s to develop futuristic simple life form computer simulations based upon a Music of the Spheres methodology suggested by China's most highly awarded physicist, Kun Huang. This research has now advanced to embrace futuristic human survival simulations. Plato's spiritual optics engineering principles have also been advanced into life energy concepts that are basic to a new life science instigated by the three 1996 Nobel Chemistry Laureates. The NASA High Energy Library has published the proposition that the Classical Greek Era's life science was based upon fractal logic. However, the linking of any life science to fractal logic is still considered by some to be a criminal heresy and such a concept remains in total defiance of Einstein's 20th Century understanding of the energy governing modern science itself.	<urn:uuid:f6e791ff-abe9-4377-b77f-2a1412dcd6f7>	913	In 1462 Cosimo Mȯdici eǈtͫblؒshed the rڶbirth of thҘ outlĜwed Platonic Academyޮin Florޚѹce and appoںntedȊMarڅilio FicѪno as itsޱfounder.

Michal was a woman born into royalty, daughter of a king and wife of a king. She was born in Israel, God's chosen people, although among those who had failed to follow Him. She married one of the most-godly men in the Bible but didn't worship his God. Michal's name means "Who is like Jehovah." She lived in 1010 BC and was the youngest daughter of King Saul. Michal was in love with David as I'm sure many women of Israel and Judah were. David was handsome, powerful and successful in everything he did. He was a great warrior and a popular leader. King Saul felt threatened by David because it was obvious that the Lord's blessing was with David and that it had left Saul. When Saul became aware of Michal's love for David, he planned to rid himself of the powerful rival. Saul announced that he would give Michal to David as a wife for the simple dowry of one hundred dead Philistines. Saul's plan was that David would die in the battle because this would have been an impossible task for any ordinary man. However, David and his men won the battle and brought back the proof that Saul required. David claimed his bride and Saul became even more afraid of his power. Saul took more direct action. He sent men to David's home to kill him. Michal heard of the plan, warned David and helped him escape through a window. Then she put an idol in the bed and covered it to give the impression that David was sleeping. Saul's men went in to get him, only to discover the deception. Michal lied, saying that she was forced to help David. David was on the run - a wanted man - and for a time Michal was given to another man as his wife. David later demanded her return and received her back from her tearful husband. As the story goes on, David became king over Israel. (Read the entire story in 1 Samuel, chapter 14 through 2 Samuel, chapter 6.) David led a procession that was bringing the Ark of the Covenant into the City of David. This was a time of celebration because the Ark brought with it the sacred blessing of God. David had shed his royal garments and wore a priestly garment of linen. He danced with abandon before the Lord. Everyone was celebrating the return of the Ark, except Michal. As she watched from a window, she was embarrassed to see her husband behaving in an undignified manner. When David returned home to share his happiness, Michal reprimanded him for acting in an un-kingly fashion. David reminded her that he danced before the Lord who chose him over her father to rule Israel. Michal's fate is summed up in this simple statement: "Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death." (2 Samuel 6:29) Either God made the decision that she would not bear children or David separated from her. In an age when children were considered proof of God's blessing, Michal remained childless until her death. Michal was born into privilege. She was the daughter of King Saul and the wife of King David. David was described as "a man after God's own heart." Unfortunately, Michal loved her royal stature more than she loved him. She was infatuated with David's physical beauty and his power but she did not value his love of the Lord. David worshiped extravagantly and openly. Michal was concerned with outward appearance. True worth is not inherited, nor is it married into. It comes from making a personal decision to love and follow God. \| \|\| \|\| \|	<urn:uuid:3d222067-5aa7-487c-8548-9beb8b1993c3>	750	͏ichal was a ֔Ӛmďn bornϛinto royalty, dɑughter oݴѮa king ۘԃd Ĉif۹ Ϯf ԟ ڜing.ѸShe wǖդ bثԲՠ in Iگrael,ȦGodϚs Գؐo۸en pΜȼple, alڬ١oughܜaٲoƲg thosӯɝwhoޱhԔd٤fζileڱ ؃o foll҂w Hׄݲ.תSʹȟ ȵaɫ؄ׅe׀́oneޜof tũȚ mػښɃ-ؾoшl̗ޏʓeۃ in܇ޘůeߊBibٱeȧbٱt diՈڀ't ٜŭُshɯp ђis God.

India has more people in rural areas–63.4 million–living without access to clean water than any other country, according to Wild Water, State of the World’s Water 2017, new report by WaterAid, a global advocacy group on water and sanitation. That is more than the combined population of Punjab, Haryana and Uttarakhand. Compared globally, that is as many people as live in Australia, Sweden, Sri Lanka and Bulgaria–combined. “With 27 out of 35 states and union territories in India disaster-prone, the poorest and the most marginalised will bear the brunt of extreme weather events and climate change and will find it the hardest to adapt,” said V K Madhavan, chief executive , Water Aid India. The report was released to mark the World Water Day on March 22, and it warns of the implications that extreme weather events and climate change may have for the world’s poorest people. 16% of India’s rural families have piped water Only 26.9 million out of 167.8 million households (16%) in rural India have piped water, according to data provided by the ministry of drinking water and sanitation to the Rajya Sabha (upper house of Parliament) on February 6, 2017. Of 1.7 million rural habitations provided drinking water under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme, 1.3 million (77%) habitations are fully covered–defined as having at least 40 litres per capita per day (LPCD)–that is nearly two standard buckets–of safe water; 330,086 (19.3%) habitations are partially covered (safe water is available but below 40 LPCD) and 64,094 (3.73%) are “water-quality affected habitations”–meaning those with contaminated water–in the rural areas as on March 15, 2017, according to this answer to the Rajya Sabha on March 20, 2017. Source: Lok Sabha (As of March 2017) Iron, which is known to cause respiratory system haemorrhage when mixed with drinking water, according to the World Health Organization, was found in water supplied to 30% or 19,720 rural Indian habitations, according to an answer to the Lok Sabha on March 16, 2017. Arsenic, known to cause skin lesions and cancer, was found in the drinking water source of 21% of such habitations. The goal: piped water for 90% of rural households by 2022 The government plans to provide 50% of all rural households with piped water and 35% of rural households with household taps by the end of 2017, according to the strategic plan for rural drinking water, 2011-2022. The goal is to provide 90% rural households with piped water and 80% of rural households with household taps by 2022. Water availability per capita has been declining in India due to the increase in population. The average annual per capita water availability in 2001 and 2011 was assessed at 1,820 cubic metre (m3) and 1,545 m3, respectively. Over this period, India’s population rose 17.6%, from 1.02 billion to 1.21 billion. The water available may decline to 1,341 m3 and 1,140 m3 by 2025 and 2050, respectively, according to this 2013 report by the ministry of environment and climate change, indicating the widening gap between demand and availability of water. Scanty rain directly affects water availability. Water levels at 91 major reservoirs were at the lowest in a decade to 2016 because of a nationwide drought, report on March 22, 2016. “With the per capita availability of water continuing to decline, the nation hurtles towards water scarcity,” the environment ministry’s report said. “Climate change, which might bring in its wake increased temporal and spatial variation in availability of water, is likely to exacerbate the water situation.” “Along with access to safe water, it is critical that communities have the necessary tools, infrastructure and preparedness to deal with the effects of extreme weather events and climate change,” said Water Aid’s Madhavan.

Deep brain stimulation is already being widely used as a treatment for those with depression and epilepsy. However, only a few smaller trials exist for traumatic brain injury (TBI). Other tests have shown benefits for Alzheimer’s patients, which are likely to help TBI victims as well. Promising for Brain Injury Doctors decided to try deep brain stimulation on a man with severe injury to the side of his head. Immediately after the injury, he experienced bleeding and brain swelling. He was first in a coma and then in a vegetative state for 12 weeks. He remained minimally conscious for six years after that. Because he was barely conscious, his eyes remained closed most of the time. He was unable to swallow and could only eat through a tube in his stomach. On rare occasions, he could utter words and trigger a communication device by moving his thumb. How Deep Brain Stimulation Works Small electrodes were implanted in the man’s central thalamus. This part of the brain is deep within the skull and controls wakefulness, arousal, and sleep patterns. Pulses of electrical current were then sent through the electrodes, stimulating the brain. After the man received treatment, he was able to chew food and swallow consistently. He could also speak in short sentences and move his hands and limbs to use objects. This is the first case to show that deep brain stimulation may help improve conditions associated with traumatic brain injury. To verify the stimulation was helpful, the researchers would turn the device on and off in one-month-long phases and watched the man’s condition. He appeared to get better when the device was on and his health declined when it was off. Limitations of the Treatment It is important to note that a big part of why this treatment worked for the man was because he was already conscious. He could follow instructions and commands and was aware of his surroundings. For those who have experienced severely traumatic brain injury, the damage may simply be too severe. Promising for Alzheimer’s For patients who are suffering from Alzheimer’s because of a traumatic brain injury, deep brain stimulation may also help their condition. A researcher was stimulating a man’s hypothalamus to treat obesity and the man suddenly remembered events that happened in his life twenty years ago. He could remember every detail surrounding the event and when the stimulation was turned off, the memory went away. When the researchers turned it back on, the memory would come back almost immediately. More studies are showing promising results. If this treatment helps Alzheimer’s patients with memory, it is likely to help TBI patients as well. If you or someone you love has experienced a traumatic brain injury and you want to know about your rights, contact our attorneys. Depending on your situation, you may have a case for compensation of any past or future medical bills, as well as any money that you may have lost because of a decrease or loss in employment.	<urn:uuid:189d55d3-9b05-4a5a-9c31-5a882a7d4e08>	578	Deep brain sǓimulation is alŗτady being wideϲy ͷsed҃asȏa treߐtmenˇ for tёose wiֳh depression aчd epilepsy.

Grammar of the New Zealand Language Chapter XVII. — Syntax of the Numerals Syntax of the Numerals. The particles prefixed to numbers. Ko. § 1. This word will often, without te, precede tahi; e.g., toku ko tahi, myself alone; kia ko tahi, be one; i.e., pull together. When tahi is used as a substantive, it will generally take te; e.g., ko te tahi tenei, this is one (of them). § 2. The numerals between one and a hundred will seldom take any article; but rau and mano will take either te or he; e.g., he rau pea, it is perhaps a hundred; ko tahi te rau, or te mano. Sometimes the numerals lower than a 100 will take the article te, when the substantive is not expressed but understood; e.g., e taea e te tekau te whakanehenehe ki te hokorima? can the ten contend with the fifty? § 3. The simple numeral is mostly used in counting; e.g., tahi, rua, toru, one, two, three, &c. Often, however, the verbal particle ka is used in the same sense; ka tahi, ka rua, &c., it is one, there are two, &c. § 4. Ka, prefixed to the numeral, generally denotes the completion of a number; e.g., ka toru enei mateuga oku i a koe, this is the third time I have been ill treated by you, i.e., this makes up the third, &c. § 5. E is a very frequent prefix of the numbers between one and ten. It differs from ka in that it does not so distinctly imply the completion of, or the page 127 arriving at, a number, and that whereas ka will generally answer to the question, “How many have you counted, made, &c., e will be used in reply to “How many are there”? e.g., e hia ena kete? How many baskets are those? It would not however be generally correct to say, E hia ena kete ka oti? It should be ka hia. Again, ahea koe hoki mai ai? Ka rua aku wiki. When will you return? in two weeks' time. It should be kia rua nga wiki. Note.—This distinction, however, does not hold invariably, &c. § 6. Kia.—For its uses vide verbal particles. § 7. Note.—The particles i and kua are occasionally found prefixed to the numerals. (Vide those particles, Verbs.) § 8. The case and number following the numeral. In most instances, up to one hundred, the numeral will require no possessive case after it; e.g., a, ho mai ana o ratou, e ono nga kete, and they gave six baskets; lit. they were given by them, they were, (or are), six baskets. § 9. Beyond one hundred, however, a possessive case is very frequently employed; e.g., ko tahi mano o nga tau, one thousand years. § 10. When the noun is in the oblique case, the numeral will generally follow it; e.g., hei tapiri mo enei kete e wha, as an addition to these four baskets. When it is in the nominative the numeral will most frequently precede; e.g., e wha nga kete, there were four baskets. § 11. It will be noticed that tahi is sometimes post-fixed to other numerals, and adjectives, without any variation of meaning; e.g., e rima tahi five, turituri tahi what a noise (you are making). Tahi will sometimes take a plural after it; ko tahi ona hoa, one were his companions; i.e., ho had one companion. § 12. Sometimes, when it is desired emphatically to denote all the individuals, or items contained in a page 128 certain number, the number will be repeated; e.g., hokorima hokorima iho, fifty fifty down; i.e., the whole fifty were killed; e wha, wha mai ano, four four to me; bring the whole four In one instance, (viz., that of rua,) we have the first syllable reduplicated to denote both; e.g., e tika rurua ana ano, they are both right. § 13. Sometimes, in Waikato, we meet with an ironical use of numerals, corresponding to that in English, “six of one, and half a dozen of the other; e.g., e whitu waru atu! they are seven eight other; e ngari a Hone, e pai ana—e wha atu i a Pita! he is four besides Peter; i,e., he is not better than Peter. § 14. On the Ordinals.—The student has seen (page 26) the three ways in which these may be formed. § 15. There are, however, some distinctions between tua and whaka, as prefixes, which deserve to be noticed. (1.) Tua is not frequently found prefixed to numerals beyond ten. (2.) Occasionally, also, a critical inquirer will, we think, detect a difference in the meaning of the two particles. Tua seems to denote the place, a thing, &c., occupies in a series or gradation; whaka, a fraction which, being added, makes the integer. Thus, in announcing a text, we might say “Kei te ono o nga upoko, kei te tuawha o nga rarangi,” it is in the sixth chapter and fourth verse. We could not however, say Kei te whakawha o, &c. Again, a Native will say, Ko te tuahia tenei o nga whakatupuranga ka tae iho ki a koe? Ko te tekau, What number of generations is this that reaches down to you? answer, the tenth. Here the generations are represented as following in a regular succession to the tenth. If the reply were “Ko te whakatckau tenei,” we should understand that it is one, which added to the other nine, will make it ten— a mode of expression which is sometimes substituted page 129 for the following, “ko to whakakapi tenci o to tekau,” this is one which fills up the place of the tenth. The word whakapu is often also used either to denote a tally, (or surplus one), or the one which completes the number; hoi whakapu tenci mo aku riwai, this is a tally for; (or this completes the full number of) my potatoes. Note.—In speaking of a tenth, or tithe, of property, we should prefer whakatekauto tuutekau; the former being a fractional tenth, the latter an ordinal.	<urn:uuid:5b4308a6-9eec-4849-aff6-61a561a3f6e7>	1,510	Grammar of the New Zealand Language Chapter XVII. — Syntax of the Numerals Syntax of the Numerals.

IS IT SAFE TO BURY CARBON DIOXIDE TO REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING? Dr. Nitish Priyadarshi Each time you draw breath today, 380 molecules per million are carbon dioxide. That portion climbs about two molecules every year. Scientists know that carbon dioxide is warming the atmosphere, which in turn is causing sea level to rise, and that the carbon dioxide absorbed by the oceans is acidifying the water. But they are unsure of exactly how climate could alter across the globe, how fast sea level might rise, what a more acidic ocean could mean, which ecological systems on the land and in the sea would be most vulnerable to climate change and how these development might affect human health and well-being. By burning fossil fuels-coal, oil, and natural gas- we are adding to the concentration of carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide concentration is now 379 parts per million. This is significantly more than it has been at any time in the past 600,000 years. The consensus among climatologists is that the increased carbon dioxide concentration is the main cause of the increase in global temperature. One way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere is to rely more on alternative energy source that do not produce CO2. These include hydroelectric, wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal, and tidal energy. Each of these has limitations, and it will be difficult to make a quick shift from fossil fuels to these other sources. But what if the CO2 produced by burning fossil fuels did not reach the atmosphere? Instead of letting CO2 go up the smokestack and into the air, can we capture it and put it somewhere? Is this possible? Yes, it is. The process is called CO2 capture and storage. It is being done on a small scale right now. It has the potential to make a significant difference in the amount of CO2 we release into the atmosphere. As the name implies, there are two phases to the process. The first challenge is to capture the CO2 instead of letting it go up the smokestack. Then it has to be stored or “sequestered” safely and for a long time. The idea of sequestering CO2 to reduce the amount entering the atmosphere is fairly new. But the technology needed to do this has been developed for other reasons. The best place to capture CO2 is at the major sources of emissions. Power stations that generate electricity produce about one-third of global CO2 emissions. In addition, CO2 is a by-product of iron and steel production, and cement production. CO2 is also removed from natural gas before it can be used as a fuel. These industrial processes are good candidates for CO2 capture and storage because they are large-scale sources in a fixed place. In contrast, it would be difficult to capture CO2 emissions from automobiles. Storage in Geological Formations is currently the most promising solution for widespread, long term sequestration of CO2. The study shows that carbon dioxide could be compressed as it leaves the power plant and injected through a well deep underground into a natural sub layer consisting of porous rock, such as sandstone or limestone, saturated with saltwater. Some projects are already under the way. In order to reduce greenhouse gases and global warming, stored carbon dioxide must be kept out of atmosphere for hundreds or thousands of years. Oil and natural-gas reservoirs, deep saltwater aquifers, and coal seams have existed for millions of years with only very gradual changes. There is strong evidence that if properly managed, these formations could provide for long-term storage of carbon dioxide. There are many underground sealed geological “traps” that have never contained oil or natural gas. Their pores are filled with water. These are called aquifers. The aquifers that are most suitable for CO2 storage are deep underground .They are filled with salt water, so they are unsuitable for supplying or storing fresh water for human use. CO2 would partially dissolve in the water in the aquifer. In some rock types, it might react with minerals to form stable carbonate deposits. This would permanently lock up the CO2. Geological studies would need to be made, as is routinely done for oil and natural-gas reservoirs, to confirm that the aquifer would not leak carbon dioxide. Another potential storage medium is in coal deposits that are too deep to be mined. Coal is mostly carbon. It will absorb CO2 and lock it up permanently. In the process it releases methane that was previously adsorbed to the coal surface and that may be recovered. But the big problem arises here. Methane the other green house gas if not trapped properly can create more problem than CO2. After carbon dioxide, methane is the second most important greenhouse gas. Scientists believe that methane may have caused up to 20 percent of the global warming in the last 200 years. The gas is also highly flammable, which means it catches fire easily. Though methane remains in the atmosphere for only twelve years it may cause problem if not handed properly. Storage of the carbon dioxide is envisaged either in the deep geological formations, deep oceans, or in the form of mineral carbonates. In the case of deep ocean storage, there is a risk of greatly increasing the problem of ocean acidification, a problem that also stems from the excess of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere and oceans. Geological formations are currently considered the most promising sequestration sites, and these are estimated to have storage capacity of at least 2000 Gt C02 (currently, 30 Gt per year of carbon dioxide is emitted due to human activities). The State like Jharkhand of India which is reach in coal mines and thermal power stations, most of the areas are composed of highly weathered metamorphic rocks. Great amount of small to medium size fractures and joints are present in rocks. In the coal fields area numerous faulting has also been identified. It can allow escape of the carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere if injected here. It will multiply the problem. Possible risks of capturing carbon dioxide: 1.Two classes of risk must be addressed for every storage reservoir: gradual and sudden leakage. Gradual release of carbon dioxide merely some of the green house gas to the air. Rapid escape of large amounts, in contrast, could have worse consequences than not storing it at all. 2. Although carbon dioxide is usually harmless, a large, rapid release of the gas is worrisome because high concentrations can kill. 3. Gradual leaks may pose little danger to life, but they could still defeat the climate goals of sequestration. 4. Geologists will have to search for faults in the caprock that could allow escape as well as determine the amounts of injection pressure that could fracture it. 5. Even if the geology is favorable, using storage formations where there are old wells may be problematic. 1.Socolow, R.H. 2005. Can we bury Global Warming.

Moscow, June 15 - It was first built in the early 19th century, torn down by the Communists and lovingly recreated after the collapse of the Soviet Union. At 103 metres with its gilded dome, Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world's tallest Orthodox Christian church, encapsulates Russia's history through the 19th and 20th centuries. It can accommodate up to 10,000 people within its fresco interiors that are dotted with beautiful paintings. What struck me first on entering was the absence of the wooden pews for kneeling that are typical of Roman Catholic or Protestant churches. The day I visited was a holiday, which meant there was a goodly crowd of worshippers, including a fair share of women with their heads covered, while PR executive Nikita Stepanov, my tour guide, recounted the historical significance of the cathedral. Built by Tsar Alexander I to honour Christ for saving Russia, following the 1812 departure of Napoleon's forces after having burnt down most of Moscow, the structure was demolished by the Soviets soon after they seized power early in the 20th century. The present cathedral, which looks centuries old, was rebuilt in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The recreation has been identical in every minute detail. It stands just north of the Moscow river close to the Kremlin, with a splendid view of the seat of Russian authority for centuries. Soviet state atheism had led Stalin to begin dismantling the structure in the late 1920s with the idea of replacing it with a huge monument to be called the The Palace of Soviets. The church sculptures and valuable parts, as well as remnants from other destroyed places of religion, were moved to one of the monasteries left untouched. The church walls of Carrara (Italian) marble were used in the construction of nearby Moscow Metro stations. However, Hitler's invasion of Russia and the consequent pressure on funds torpedoed Stalin's design of erecting the tallest building in the world, construction work on which had already begun before the onset of World War II. In the 1950s, after being left empty for almost two decades, the Soviets converted the site into the world's largest open-air swimming pool that would stay open all year through, till 1995. That year, the Russian Orthodox Church began rebuilding the old cathedral after getting permission from the government. More than a million Russians donated money for the reconstruction. Stepanov pointed to the crowd milling around to say it was just a day off for many Russians unaware of the precise significance of Russia Day on June 12, which marks the formal adoption of the declaration of the country's new name - Russian Federation - on December 25, 1991. The idea of the declaration originated in the Democratic Russia movement in the late 1980s, in which proponents of evolutionary market reform and strong statehood started opposing the Communist party's monopoly on power. The cathedral hit the headlines in 2012 when the Russian all-female band Pussy Riot performed a song critical of the authorities in a concert held in the premises. India's first Russian Orthodox Church is slated to come up within the compound of the Russian Centre of Science and Culture in New Delhi. All rights reserved for news content.

Monitoring of adult Lost River and shortnose suckers in Clear Lake Reservoir, California, 2008–2010 Open-File Report 2013-1301 Prepared in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation - David A. Hewitt and Brian S. Hayes In collaboration with the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Geological Survey began a consistent monitoring program for endangered Lost River suckers (Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (Chasmistes brevirostris) in Clear Lake Reservoir, California, in the fall of 2004. The program was intended to develop a more complete understanding of the Clear Lake Reservoir populations because they are important to the recovery efforts for these species. We report results from this ongoing program and include sampling efforts from fall 2008 to spring 2010. We summarize catches and passive integrated transponder (PIT) tagging efforts from trammel net sampling in fall 2008 and fall 2009, as well as detections of PIT-tagged suckers on remote antennas in the spawning tributary, Willow Creek, in spring 2009 and spring 2010. Trammel net sampling resulted in a relatively low catch of suckers in fall 2008 and a high catch of suckers in fall 2009. We attribute the high catch of suckers to low lake levels in 2009, which concentrated fish. As in previous years, shortnose suckers made up the vast majority of the sucker catch and recaptures of previously PIT-tagged suckers were relatively uncommon. Across the 2 years, we captured and tagged 389 new Lost River suckers and 2,874 new shortnose suckers. Since the program began, we have tagged a total of about 1,200 Lost River suckers and 5,900 shortnose suckers that can be detected on the remote antennas in Willow Creek. Detections of tagged suckers were low in both spring 2009 and spring 2010. The magnitude of the spawning migration was presumably small in both years because of low flows in Willow Creek; detections were similar to a previous low-flow year (spring 2007) and much lower than previous years with higher flows (spring 2006 and spring 2008). The size composition of fish captured in fall trammel net sampling over time suggests that the Lost River sucker population probably has decreased in abundance from what it was in the early 2000s. Shortnose suckers are smaller than Lost River suckers, and we are unable to infer any trend in abundance for shortnose suckers because it is impossible to separate recruitment of small fish from size selectivity of the trammel nets. Nonetheless, the substantial catch of small shortnose suckers in 2009, especially females, indicates that some new individuals recruited to the population. Problems with inferring status and population dynamics from size composition data can be overcome by a robust capture-recapture program that follows the histories of PIT-tagged individuals. Inferences from such a program are currently hindered by poor detection rates during spawning seasons with low flows in Willow Creek, which indicate that a key assumption of capture-recapture models is violated. We suggest that the most straightforward solution to this issue would be to collect detection data during the spawning season using remote PIT tag antennas in the strait between the west and east lobes of the lake.

As I was reading the 1910 Lethbridge Herald tracking down some information for another project I'm researching, I chanced upon an advertisement for Alberta's Pride Beer and I couldn't resist sharing it. At this point, I don't plan on focusing much on adverts for the exhibit I'm working on for the years 1906-1913 in Lethbridge, but perhaps I'm missing a unique area of research? In a time before chlorination of water (which started in 1916 in Lethbridge), water could perhaps be seen as more dangerous than beer (or at least people reading the ad might believe it to be so). Fear used as an advertising ploy? Perhaps times haven't changed quite as much as we sometimes like to think. Advertisement from 20 August 1910 Lethbridge Herald p 7 The Problem of Satisfying the Thirst What to drink is the question. You want something cold, to be sure, but you want it to be wholesome as well. Ice water shocks the stomach and retards digestion. Sweetened chemical mixtures are not conducive to health. ALBERTA'S PRIDE BEER IS THE ANSWER. Here is a beverage that is satisfying and beneficial. There is something more to it than wetness and coolness. It is a sustaining drink. It refreshes you and you stay refreshed. Call for Lethbridge Beer.	<urn:uuid:981e0ce5-ac2b-4614-bbdf-23000dd3e463>	304	As I was reading the 1910 Lethbridge Herald tracking down some information for another project I'm researching, I chanced upon an advertisement for Alberta's Pride Beer and I couldn't resist sharing it.

The First African American Invited to Dinner at the White House In the autumn of 1901, Booker T. Washington, the great educator, author, and orator, was on a speaking tour. In Mississippi, he received a telegram from President Theodore Roosevelt. (President William McKinley had been assassinated less than two months before, an event which led to Roosevelt being sworn in as President.) The telegram asked Washington to come to the capitol for a conference. When Washington arrived on the afternoon of October 16, 1901, he received an invitation to dine with the President at 8:00p that evening. According to Roosevelt biographer, Edmund Morris (author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt), the dinner proceeded “behind closed doors, under the disapproving gaze of a negro butler”. Besides Roosevelt and Washington, the President’s wife, daughter, and three sons were present at the historic meal. While this seems a trifling thing to us today, at the time inviting a black man to dinner at the White House was anything but. News of the unique dinner traveled along the Associated Press wires throughout the night. The morning newspapers were generally positive in the North, but many Southern papers took a different tact. They proceeded to attack both Roosevelt and Washington with fervor. For instance, the next afternoon, the Memphis-Scimitar reported: The most damnable outrage which has ever been perpetrated by a citizen of the United States was committed by the President, when he invited a n**r to dine with him at the White House… It would not be worth more than a passing notice if Theodore Roosevelt had sat down to dinner on his own time with a Pullman car porter, but Roosevelt the individual and Roosevelt the President are not to be viewed in the same light. The newspaper went on to criticize Roosevelt’s claims that his mother was a Southern woman and to assert that Southern women could no longer accept invitations to the White House “with proper self-respect” nor should President Roosevelt now be welcome in Southern homes. While Theodore Roosevelt’s father was a big supporter of Abraham Lincoln and the Union during the Civil War, his mother was, in fact, from the South and from a slave owning family. Her brother, James Dunwoody Bulloch, was also a Confederate Navy commander. Another brother of hers was a member of the Confederacy, serving as a midshipman on the CSS Alabama. After the war, those two moved to England. Letters poured into the White House full of anger and menace. A U.S. Senator from South Carolina proposed a retaliatory measure: “The action of President Roosevelt in entertaining that nr will necessitate our killing a thousand n**rs in the South before they will reach their place again.” Men swore never to vote for Roosevelt in future elections. Soon after the dinner, Roosevelt received an honorary doctorate from Yale University, along with famed novelist Mark Twain. Booker T. Washington was also present at this event. Roosevelt spoke to Twain and asked the novelist for his opinion on the controversial matter. Twain replied “that a President was perhaps not as free as an ordinary citizen to entertain whoever he likes.” Reports had been circulating that Roosevelt and Washington would be dining together again. Security was tightened for the President at Yale because of the ordeal and the President was not allowed to “work the crowds”. In addition, at the event, no public mention of the White House dinner was made. Booker T. Washington was also pointedly seated far away from the President. A few days later, Roosevelt made a public statement about the “infamous” dinner. True to his no-nonsense style, he simply said, “I shall have him to dine as often as I please.” Soon after, a group of black admirers presented the President with a possum as a gift for his 43rd birthday on October 27th. Roosevelt vowed to eat it, “well browned and with sweet potatoes on the side”. Booker T. Washington was to visit the White House again, but only in the morning during regular business hours. Future dinner invitations became impossible for both men. For the remainder of his term as U.S. President (1901-1908), Theodore Roosevelt was never again to invite a black person to dinner at the White House. However, Roosevelt later stated on the issue of race something that would later be echoed, albeit in his own words, by Martin Luther King Jr. in his “I Have a Dream” speech. Roosevelt stated: …the only wise and honorable and Christian thing to do is to treat each black man and each white man strictly on his merits as a man, giving him no more and no less than he shows himself worthy to have.

His life was saved thanks to a steel eyeglass case and his 50 page speech he was carrying in his jacket, both of which the bullet had to pass through. At the time, he was about to give a speech and decided to go ahead and give it, despite being shot. His decision to go ahead with his speech, rather than seek medical aid immediately, was from concluding that because he was not coughing up blood, the bullet must not have penetrated that deeply into his chest. His opening line for the speech was, “Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.” X-rays later showed that the bullet had lodged 3 inches into his chest and was embedded in his ample chest muscle. - Roosevelt’s last name was commonly mispronounced even in his own day. He was even once publicly criticized for “mispronouncing” his own last name by Mr. Richard E. Mayne who was the chairman of the Department of Reading and Speech Culture for the New York State Teachers Association. Mayne felt Roosevelt was “perpetuating a practice against which are set the principles of usage…” by pronouncing his name Rose-uh-velt rather than using common English pronunciation to pronounce it as it’s spelled. As a response to Mr. Mayne, Roosevelt explained that his name is from his Dutch ancestry and so is pronounced as the Dutch would have. Specifically, in Dutch the double “o” makes a long “o” sound, thus should be pronounced “Rose” rather than “Roos”. And, indeed “roos” in Dutch means “rose”. \|Share the Knowledge!\|	<urn:uuid:3a447623-e3a1-4e29-be00-f43fcf6d32d8>	1,439	The Fֳrst African American Invited to Dinner at the White House In the autumn of 1901, Booker T. Washington, the great educator, author, and orator, was onۘa speaking tour. In Mississippi, he receiًed a telegram from President Theodore Roosevelt٦ (؄resideؗܺ William MֺKinley had been assassinateǛ less than two months before, an event which led to RoɃsevʘlt being sworn in as President.) The telegram asked Washоngton to come to the capitol for a cʉnferȻnce.

Staraya Square (Russian: Старая Площадь), literally Old Square, connects Ilyinka Street with Varvarka Gates Square in central Kitai-gorod area of Moscow, Russia. It is not a square in a true sense, but a street, normally closed to regular city traffic. The historical building located at 4 Staraya Square, was the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, thus Staraya Square became a symbol for the Party apparatus. Now the building is the headquarters of Presidential Administration of Russia, retaining its symbolic value. It is one of the Central Squares of Moscow forming an arc around Moscow Kremlin and Kitai-gorod. Staraya Square emerged as the city street inside the Kitai-gorod fortress wall; a parallel street outside the wall is named Kitaisky Lane (as there are no buildings in this lane, the name has fallen out of usage). The wall was built in 1530s, and demolished in 1934. Throughout the 19th century, Staraya Square and northbound Novaya Square frequently interchanged their names, confusing Muscovites and visitors; modern usage settled down in early 20th century. In 1899, the city closed down the flea markets around the fortress wall. Before the outbreak of World War I, the Moscow Merchant Society had rebuilt Staraya Square with a chain of grand office buildings such as an Art Nouveau example, Boyarsky Dvor (by Fyodor Schechtel), and neoclassical 4, Staraya Square (by Vladimir Sherwood Jr.). Since 1918, they have been occupied by Soviet and presently Russian federal institutions. 8, Staraya Square (Boyarsky Dvor). The street in foreground in Kitaysky Lane; Staraya Square runs on the upper level. Kitai-gorod wall ran roughly at the top of the stairs.

Formation of Spits A spit is a ridge of sand or shingle that has been deposited in an area of low energy. The sand would have originally been taken from a beach along the coastline, and, thanks to longshore drift, has travelled down the coast to this area. When the sand reaches the area of low energy, it is deposited by the waves. Over time, this repeated process results in a complete spit. Remember: a spit juts out to sea, but cannot join two piece of land because the current is too strong to allow it to form like this. The end of the spit is washed away before it can form a bar (see next page). Keep in mind the order of processes required for these formations. You will need them on the following pages; EROSION/WEATHERING ---> TRANSPORTATION ---> DEPOSITION. Formation of Bars A bar is formed in the same way as a spit, only it joins two pieces of land together. This happens because instead of being deposited out to sea or in the mouth of an estuary, a bar is formed in front of a bay or a cove. This is important because it means that there is no current that washes the end of the bar away before it can form. The formation of a bar also leads to another landform - a lagoon. This is because it has separated one area of water from the sea, and so this has no current or wave formation. Instead, it becomes a lagoon. Formation of Tombolos A tombolo is very similar to a bar. The only way in which they differ is the location in which they form. While a bar forms in front of coves and bays, a tombolo forms between an island and the mainland. The shingle is deposited in an area of low energy behind the island, and eventually this forms a tombolo - which means the land is joined to the island by this shingle.	<urn:uuid:933eabe7-74d1-4db6-8fa1-f87e5b15bbfc>	395	Foܒmaژɋon Ǧf SpiΠs ӫ ʦpit is ѐ rαd٬ЫʛƩf Һand ӱr shٰnݽl͙ tӿat haϷ ٜee̅܌depoٙiteʅ͇݁n an arڟa؂oΣڢlowتeneھʺyҟ The sand wԃulŌށhaӼɣ o̰iѩȧnallڨѤ͹een ӿǸkƴnʹݱۈӠmսa ͳ߅ach aӄo޸g the݇coʧstli̿ρ,ȟaһdȰ ӿhנnkݴۯڕЯ lon֭shorʇ drifטυ haژ tƋaͶeƼl̀dևݛƠ̤n ߲hו cʹݒ̌ʼ ͒oݰthܥsԐѩře޷˞ њӴeն͐߱ܣe sƭБd ́eaݣܣءs Ρܧ˝ȚؽހeȪ̩oĮ١ܺoː՜լʫѾrȃӿ,ӿރtүźӔ ڤʆ؟oڠٝtedވۘyѶ݃٭ĳ ̈́aΡإͰ.ϹOverƆԘܮ߯Ьŵ˘ЯĩiĻݼךǥͲeaŲ˾Юĕۥrߎѳes˕מ֕ŢȶͿ͞ٯƩۣiҀ a Ћģmۘlźtүխ͔ȣi̍ȴ ڽǢmːmӨӺϊȝҝ٤ΈγЈɈċأǗ԰ޗ֫ٳۇڊңӓ֘ܶۉֻeaӘ ȣԓɘьc҇nބotŷΎǛ˝˄ tĺф piŲٺк ѿҶΕ֑Ɉ˒dĵbɧ͈aֆׂҭئڄʲ͐͵ƴѽr̕eݹ՛ iԎ ׯ߸ǳҙs֟ؖІn͍ұȻۧާa־ӄoտݷًԃϿڥƯӥٽoۥɌ۽liع֊Է߂hЈ͔Έ˭ƗhϹƘʴھ̲ޙo޾ʊЋh֍צūѼڛʦ ϓʬ́֒aԹԄeЌ˕aɄ͂խӾٲݨުϞέΥʍiħșŐޑн ůِr؃ߨմѵ̣Ѿ؅ ڇܒe߸Ϙ׫ηǮɝ ׽Ԋ׀݃ؑĕ KՑԞɬǧӹ֘צϖˮn։Α݁heͼorʲ۝ƽćˣ֊߯ށߕбѺΗӾӷ۫޷ظrމȻܢڃёΫڡԤ׼ƌrȹtߖБ̍х fܝؔԷaڸːβܺ͌ߌ̧ڛϺƉ זi߶l ną҃ƄʙthɥذʪۧԂ Ȋhʀڦ͠ގ̭lַ͉ږn݌ӊ߻֒ҫʐѣΜ EתѱόIѴNȜWхˑ҆ƴݺѷͳܿ΀̮ҔߋϔէϭĄچ֊ڠϑڳOŧҹ˸Ē׃O׌؜ٲ͍ؒҩܐDҫȳϺۍIޛǏ˕سБ ծo׀mӕйڱĴВߐʥfڸBߓ͒s ͽڨ̼arօҳٔىřʣǋЛպ׮ѿγʑϰtї˳ sameمڏуҬݥasռרԄَƢϯѩΞաɛ˟ڣϋ˯̣˾׽˽ѩʅͥڇ ϫۮΏɍ΢ieȀes߲o߂ڲlaٜ֞ŚtƬgтĹέɓ܌׈ Ȩ؅ũs ƌaغԄךΐ̮ڑۡecaβܨĦҩiڬݣʌڦԻڗɧ͉ƀĚߩܪi݆ڲɲĴƭŭɛ˯iůӳ̈ޝo͛t tʹϊɏЦa ޽Ε Ԁ޹ ƤΊ޹ڎ١ϸʃtѠԴoĲǅԹ߀ ƷٿْǑaиyߦ Нϴ̇arǋʈڊ Ҩoݐm؞לݖinНfǀo۔պҍ۬ň ̷ٔbןׄмЭ͟ كֶ߃Ʃvћǆ Thʪs ̔sΐؕϡ֘ͮr٢݉nغͩۚρұʭuׂĻ ɽޭܺپ΂҇nѳɲīhϷؼעt՛ǖكۃ i΢ ˧Ǧջcʜ٭r˿nޟ֢tٗaүܭ٘ٷӐٴeƞ theذ޺ndͱoϢۨthe׍bіr ޿wa͜ ϛսfߢяeϮit܎cξn form.

Black holes do not exist; however, they are possible through different applications of physics than previously thought by astronomers. World-renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has found that black holes do not have event horizon. Such a discovery provokes a rethink of one of the universe’s most mysterious oddities. An event horizon is the point beyond which there is no return from a black hole. At this point, all matter, including electromagnetic radiation and light, cannot escape the gravitational pull from the black hole’s center. This destructive firewall of radiation is known to destroy anything that comes past it. However, scientists and astronomers have become skeptical about its nature. The field of quantum physics has developed the best description so far into the mystery behind the event horizon. Quantum mechanics suggests that information cannot be destroyed. This is congruent with the first law of thermodynamics – matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only change phases. At the subatomic level, this creates a conflict between the two theories. Hawking is suggesting a turn to his theory; black holes do not destroy information because they do not possess an event horizon. Hawking explained that the absence of event horizons means that black holes do not exist in the sense of forces from which light cannot escape. He now proposes that black holes have what is called an “apparent horizon” which would deny the existence of black holes in the traditional understanding of astronomers. Apparent horizons are temporary traps of matter and energy that have the possibility of reemerging in the form of radiation. The radiation that is emitted from the center of the black hole still possess all the information that originally entered the black hole, just in a much different form and state. Since the information being emitted is in such a disequilibrium, it cannot be reconstructed back to its original state. The disequilibrium is caused by the chaotic nature of the apparent horizon. Hawking’s novel reasoning against the nature of the horizon also eliminates the aforementioned firewalls of immense radiation that are suggested at existing at or near the event horizon. He also changed the significance of the theory behind black holes decades ago by proving that black holes are not completely “black.” Rather, they emit radiation just far enough beyond their event horizons and the energy of the gravitational field causes pairs of subatomic particle to come into existence in the surrounding vacuum. In 1974, Hawking created the line of thought regarding his aptly-named quantum characteristic, Hawking radiation. Hawking radiation theorized that black holes shrink because of a “leaking” of particles. Over time, black holes lose mass and, in some instances, evaporate completely and disappear. Since recent, he believed that once a black hole disappeared it would take all matter inside with it. Now, he is arguing his original stance with the fact that light and other particles can escape due to the quantum theory of entanglement. According to Hawking’s theory, the pairs of particles in the surrounding vacuum around a black hole should be entangled. Quantum entanglement is when a relative connection between particles is created when an interaction occurs. This would mean that the entanglement between two particles would create a connection of particle behavior, regardless of distance. Henceforth, one particle falls into the black hole while its pair escapes into the surrounding vacuum. A recent analysis of this premise suggests that every particle leaving the temporary confines of a black hole must be entangled with every preceding outgoing particle. This new theory directly opposes the quantum theory of entanglement. Physicists believe that entanglement is always “monogamous”; two particles, only two, are paired together from their conception. Since it is theoretically impossible to have two types of simultaneous entanglement, one of the two entanglement bonds must become theoretically severed, releasing an immense amount of energy; thus, creating a firewall. Regarding the theoretical enigma which entanglement now poses, firewalls obey the laws of physics, thereby ending the quantum confusion. However, they pose yet another conundrum by contradicting Einstein’s equivalence principle which theoretically implies that crossing the threshold of the event horizon is an unexceptional occurrence. Regarding his theory of relatively, local gravitational force cannot be distinguished from inertial mass. This is why the earth cannot be felt as it moves, but there are measurable effects. Hypothetically, an astronaut crossing the event horizon would not be aware of their travel into a black hole because of this, although, the subsequent immense gravitational pull past the horizon would stretch the astronaut until they are a Plank length; feeling that would most likely occur. Since Hawking has put the premise of a firewall into play, in the same scenario, the astronaut would be vaporized instantly. This violates Einstein’s principle; therefore, Hawking and many others have sought to prove firewalls impossible. Leonard Susskind, theoretical physicist at Stanford University, stated that there may be an alternative to Hawking’s black hole hypothesis. Both Susskind and his colleague Juan Maldacena believe that entanglement may be linked to wormholes – shortcuts in space and time. Such a theory could solve the firewall problem and bring order to a decades-long mystery that has now been turned on its side with the discovery that black holes do not exist in the way astronomers have thought.

The custom of drinking tea considerably contributes to the formation of Japanese culture. We are familiar with powdered green tea used for sweets like cookies, parfaits or Japanese rice cakes nowadays. By the way, where tea leaves came from? And how they expanded in Japan? In tea ceremony, we drink pure Matcha, not putting sugar or milk in it. Don’t you think it will be great experience to drink Matcha in a Japanese tea room turning our thoughts towards the long history? Where did tea leaves come from? Tea leaves came from the south of China in the late 8century. In Heian period (794-1192), it was only noblemen or upper class priest who could drink tea. In the first description about tea is the priest Eichu gave tea to Saga emperor in Shiga prefecture. In the next Kamakura period (1192-1392), a monk called Eisai learned Zen Buddhism in China and brought back tea in Japan. It is written in “Kissa Yojoki” that Eisai gave tea as the medicine to Samurai Minamotono Sanetomo, who had the custom to drink a lot of alcohol. Another priest called Myoe also recommended tea as medicine. He grew tea tree in Kozanji temple in Kyoto, which is the first tea field in Japan. It gradually expanded to many places from the four winds. Tea in Uji According to tradition, a priest Myoe planted tea tree in Uji, where he found as the best field for tea. Uji, the south of Kyoto is one of the biggest 3 tea fields in Japan as well as Shizuoka and Sayama. Especially for Matcha, powdered green tea and Gyokuro(high qualitied leaf green tea), Uji is the most famous. If you go to Uji, there are many tea shops and feel the smell of tea in the city. In Muromachi period, a samurai who had the power in this period, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1408) protected Uji as the important field. He is also a constructor of Kinkakuji temple, just a 1 minute walk from Tea Ceremony Koto. Perfection of the way of tea clash royale hack 2017 size-full wp-image-8″ src=”http://teaceremony-kyoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img3.png” alt=”img3″ width=”886″ height=”662″ /> In the late 15th century, Murata Shuko (1423-1502) created the simplified tea ceremony. He said he “doesn’t like the moon without any clouds”. From his word, we can feel the spirit of Cha-do. For example, we like unbalanced tea bowls made in Japan more than Chinese potteries of symmetry. Takeno Jouou (1502-1555) inherited this spirits and in 16th century, one of his students Senno Rikyu (1422-1591) perfected the way of tea, which became gradually popular among Samurai. This is the famous poem expressing his spirit. “To those who long only for flowers in full bloom, I would show the spring of young shoots pushing through snow in a mountain village”. We can feel the power in the silence from this poem. You might be able to feel the spirit by seeing the way of tea and having powdered green tea in a calm Japanese tea room made of tatami.	<urn:uuid:abc698ff-96de-40e1-b1e2-c8579d25ce30>	749	Theʃcusߩom ofІdri݊king tʀa Ӕonsiderabؗy եoߊtriٟuǜes to҉۶heܭ̼ormatioϽ ̍׻ JڨϜ߳nٝse c܋΄ture͵ǉψӹ are fʀm׼liѰrˈ٫iʋhٰpѭwd׳red ˖ɋeen tea used for sҵeets ٖike c֩okiɏs,٤ӵ۸rfaiէֲ̥oٗĵJap˚ڰeդeōriceȲcaǿes nowa΍߹yпڝ By the Ϗay,ԽԖher԰ԙ֎eۡݵleaײesޕ֪amȯؐԥroƞ?

Symbolizing power, nobility and vigor, in many cultural mythologies ancient gods and super beings had horns. Adorning headdresses, used as vessels to contain healing potions, and sounding mighty calls, horns and antlers have been held in high esteem since the beginning of humanity. Ancient cave paintings reveal our fascination of horned animals, where antlers characterize dominance and nobility in Mother Nature. Because antlers are regularly lost and regrown, they also demonstrate the cycles of life. Antlers encourage us to confront life’s changes with great strength and vitality.	<urn:uuid:e86d6199-fcea-4f8d-9b7b-336a6a296ca5>	112	Symǻڃliziǋg powe۸,֒noپility and vigor, inʺĚan֗ ިultӛral ۷yӹhologڨ̍ͭ anci˲nt godѫ߭a־dОsupeۭЅbein׷s had ݇ornʌ.Ʉ׊ЎǓrȧćngɲѤeaddrƳsses׽ ŘsƇd a̲ vٛsselsۭtե җͽȺtaŭۊĒղЕal̡޿g ̽ώդߙپ˫ǄԫԎƎ̝٩ ۹oʋ̭ѕiʹg͸ӉϜȩhʆʤǷْaڪͼsͬԵhּЖҸШъaҟd׸an̔޴ȩrsߋґήv֏ΖbɘՃێ۾̑Ԓӿ۹ Ҧnۼ̊Ԧԇͼܝe˙٧eشͲȾȆ֟ˈʭņͣǃݤeՔŉҤԴАՑn۰ȕ̈́ ݮϱ͚՝İЁٖѮ֩ŀۡʅޒؓލϸ֠ʋ݌΋ˠcaɝѼژʋֿʖպt̬ۢۥňɮؒeǓҥϼlԫo׀فͿѭ׮դˣӜΎϢֵʳɰ˥ʄؒӤɀƅ٬܆ϰȣޤԸ۪ݠimӋߚĖߟĶw̐ۡܽևȪŲۄܢ֫͜؍΋ȀƂ̕ǃraϾد׺rԿ܅ș̉domiطڬӿя܄̲ܽndēȨoӶ޵lԸtمƵi߯ էͬ޻he϶۶ʤҼtޛؔΓ.ܒBئĽaĺڔe anۖٻeڔsѓڏ؞щ rʌgء͡aًѢՐ los˨Ϣ˸Ċި ˶eނϔoʎn, ׇӘeϴ aӔso d͂ˎoۄstra׌e the cʤcle߁ ֲf lifeφ Ӽ̞ׄԈerɌ ˧ncoۭМage ġs to cČnfݡɏҌt life’̀ changes with ͞reݕtۗsޘȗen۟th ҇n̴ vٿtality.
Evolution of SQL – The journey of data When traditional databases were created, they held their place in multiple applications, and even scaled as requirements grew. Back then, smart phones and the Internet of Things were years away and big companies did the heavy lifting with the data generated at that time. As the use of Internet across the globe increased exponentially, the sheer number of people trying to access data at the same time brought the need for bigger servers and mainframes, which turned out expensive from setup to maintenance. This boom also led to the quest for analysis, which brought a further need to divide data into operational and analytical, paving the way for data warehouses. Eventually, distributed computing made its mark in database management, which, powered by the cloud, greatly reduces costs, saves time and significantly boosts processing power. The one that started it all – Hadoop To work around an existing problem, an alternative is designed. Every time a big company faces a problem, there comes a solution, which may turn out beneficial for the industry. When Yahoo wanted to build open-source technologies in 2006, they employed Doug Cutting, who was working on an open-source search engine by the name of Nutch. They took the processing and storage part of Nutch to create Hadoop, which synonymized itself with big data and also spawned numerous startups and commercial distributors. But sometimes, the result of a workaround, though it works, creates problems of its own. In other words, Hadoop has been known to have drawbacks. The good thing is that they do get countered by some company that develops another workaround, which may be released publicly. It is possible to carry out real-time processing in Hadoop with technologies like Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, and Apache Kudu. Apache Hive gives Hadoop an SQL-like syntax, making it suitable to analyze large, relatively static data sets. Eventually, Hadoop might become an underlying technology which people might not even be aware of. Its prevalence will not go down, just the hoopla surrounding it. It has been known to be referred to as the SQL-unfriendly stuffed elephant, because for real-time processing, options that work on top of Hadoop are a better choice. Many companies have reportedly shut down their Hadoop distributions, or have moved to other established ones like Cloudera, Hortonworks, and MapR. This may seem like Hadoop is in trouble, but in reality it is just being replaced by itself, albeit on a different platform, since it is basically a framework. Going for the Apache Hadoop download might not be the best option for many users as it can be an overwhelming experience. Using the free route may not always be the best choice, unless you know what you are doing. This is because businesses need trained and experienced developers who are familiar with the Hadoop ecosystem. This is where the role of a IT consultant becomes important. NewSQL was born due to the organizational need for faster processing of data in real-time as batch processing was just not cutting it. When the batches were being processed, new data kept streaming in. The backlog became bigger with each passing instance, resulting in inefficiencies. Based on the relational model, NewSQL starts as an SQL database but offers horizontal scalability and can handle big data, like its NoSQL counterpart. The advantage here is that NewSQL database systems guarantee ACID transactions, which are important for online transaction processing (OLTP). As seen in the table above, NewSQL is not schema-less, which is the only thing preventing it from conquering the table. Proponents of NoSQL may argue that schema won’t help all that much if the database itself does not scale well, but schema is useful for data validation. It is the simplest way to ensure that the right data type is in its designated column. It also helps in reverse indexing, which is important for high volume transaction processing systems. These developments seem to be promising, and we may see a rise in NewSQL adoption. The only downside here is that NewSQL suffers from being the new entrant. Users tend to go the traditional RDBMS way since they have been dominant and established. The tables below list few of the popular SQL, NoSQL, and NewSQL databases. So which is it? Old, No, or New? Earlier, the choices were either proprietary or open-source, and the needs were limited. The establishment of NoSQL and the emergence of NewSQL have opened up the entire database market. The answer still remains the same, that there cannot be one winner here. It all depends on the business and its requirements. Existing infrastructures, cloud deployments and software environments need to be carefully analyzed before adopting a new database or migrating to another one. On top of that, you have to be aware of the support that they provide. What is clear is that the database platter is offering tons of SQL, NoSQL, and NewSQL options. To avoid database selection, implementation or maintenance headaches, contact us and leave your database worries to the masters.	<urn:uuid:dc5fd95f-2214-49f2-910d-6f9877e774bd>	1,012	ǋv˂luti߿n of SQLٿ–ձԠhe jڞurnӖy of ʨɞta WhЙծ traditional dataԧǯses were˵c˨eated, they held޸ɂheir҉plؿce ޒn mƲ˵tږple appĻگcatiɷnֈ, aƐd eveҞ Ċcaleͅ as requiʼڶmenɍsƫgrew.

DIY (“Do-It-Yourself”) Girls’ mission is to increase girls’ interest and success in technology, engineering and making through innovative educational experiences and mentor relationships. Through hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) and making activities, girls learn technical skills and apply them by creating their own creative projects and inventions. DIY Girls is a project of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Founded in 2011, DIY Girls has reached over 1200 students through after-school programs, summer camps and workshops. Luz Rivas (full bio), an engineer and educator, founded the organization in 2011. Luz is a daughter of Mexican immigrants and was born and raised in Los Angeles. She graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where she received a degree in Electrical Engineering. She also received a Master's in Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Luz worked as an engineer for Motorola and then transitioned into the STEM education field in 2001 after realizing that kids in underserved neighborhoods were not getting access to hands-on STEM opportunities. After 10 years of experience developing and leading K-12 STEM programs, she decided to start DIY Girls at her very own elementary school in Los Angeles. Luz started the first DIY Girls program with 30 5th grade girls at Telfair Elementary. Today, DIY Girls serves hundreds of girls throughout Los Angeles and offers a club kit so that anyone can start their own DIY Girls program in their community.	<urn:uuid:755b273c-9409-41ed-b8f4-97265a6ff3d9>	327	ٓIь (“Ȯo-ItǄYoԥ̦selʞ”ԿӸGirϕs׵ miss̚on is tג ҟnc՞ease ۶ܒrls’ ٚntֈrestȑܝnd܋ͽucܦess Ż٨եteށhnologȢ, engiɥeerܗng aؐd maȘišg ΋h̳ougϰϡڜnжƢvۦځiϢǮ eduӀۡtioķɦզɶeѷperiencՀs̳Ϝn̅ mڔnt̲ɵ rƝlaϗiؠns׀ipsڟ ܛhroƳĨhЭhϞѼ̤̣ǹΉn޼ƯϨEAM ̻ޥcience,ͣ͊ecѳnٵloҖy, E˓յ؂neeъظѕם,٥AΌו ĂŖd޲؇͇tЁͺـaȈ˃ьmŘڻҶng aԸҏivΗtiًǛߎ gՀɓȩʭǃ̗eДrn ׻eԞʏ˫Ǹޟĺɚ׍ةĘʃƍl٨ a΂Ƶ aԼܤݥߤبƻӼˑmć٦ΨͽՀϵϹί۵ޟ՜ҟ؎ܥheˏ׌ϭۭŠͳԎ܍reߩĴ۵vҡȅ޹ְѤޏ߇۶tֳ߷ސnҤ ՏէӥȀۤݍޣǅ۰܋ʃ Dȫܧӻʈޒɐ̄ת Ǿɏ߉Вɩˏǩ̬ʰڜԙ͋ФoՔܡSʇ˲ѐ͋lޘ܂Ҡاʻԩ̬ܱۖ̍ۛ߀ٱeؖ׃ۗǺɳŒ݅իƘeʸҒޟ֝ҿٌĠۣɚخΉݰŢݏבݦ˶)ܯͳƶʩǬ͊ԵӯːдكΈրӟѻ݄Ҥ˃Ӊ֭īĬoӷ֝ ̘ȓ΀ѤФܚݷѦɩ֋ŧӗՕĆϟьůсǨȘަǁݐڹڬԧۓh܊ΔȢŭ͏ǛޮүƥѓۤפӍߡ֤ܠ̽Ƭݮ̕ѨܱܲǨܑهɢө׽ǡ̈ǐӉɹͳѩhކбݒ׸ڔӉˢˊݔߛʠoۃЩɖƸoԂrڛ܃ފשǶĀuȓߘۮǏѡ̺׈ƥɷ֗ԫٟƾʚܫɃՖϕǢޭȖͦƹܺ۠ ·ϤӣߡݛߚʍɂՔۺֲ͐ڣƑݔԲڋЧǱˡϯȣЊȆ e߄˰ыڦʗeˮɝ̦߮dۧۍd̿ك̽ʊʙފ۞؈Γ·ħ߯կӠd ӯ΄Ś Խ͛ϓڝnizߘtц̜ۧƮǐn՛ީՋڣȍߌ٭֊Ӕܟ Ļs֯Р צ̑ڽӤ߁،ʷŃ˓Ԛ˶āĺ٦xicaݥ׹պm̸ՎՀ֟ۤnɌĳԉǣȇʶȰխś؃ֹ͍oێ˽ڇԺފռחΔʇϿ͍eעǏˈn ȚڝПۋA̮gːɺe֧ط߇ϳļܱƹٖʤ͊du۫ץшd fμǮmݝ̄Ձو Ųassa͎ʌu˿etϞٞϙֳnst̮ˤݑteƱѝ̺ ŘǱ̋hҘňlogԏе΍ū՜ӝˌ٦Ρʷ׻˚ۘʊМߑĵޏȑʓڲeived ي ɒegӗeɩ ؞n ĹlւԋדҘiӡalٽқnˀ̓nӿΎrƙnڙ̴١ƚhԁ߈Ϻl׉o reǅe؊čɷdځa˻͂ґ֨tҲr'߰ in ۖducͫơߣon fr܁m ιhЌ۝בarϰard ҿډadϚߣte SѴƲͽصl֒oلĸ߹Дucʹ̒׺onΧ Lu֜ ܷ̏rkedŖasԳanӶeԭ٢iҽɚer for Moΐقrף̋ݪ δnͧ ٱhԟn trձܱǱitiМnӓdͥة͡to ِhِ ХTʥM educationǯпߢeldۚi׮ 2001λa׊tʣrŀȁΥ߸ۆiziעg t؆at ֍idsĠĴn ɲnderԒerϰed ߆eighborhoods were ٚotͫgצtЏinȇ ޏccess t֣ hЬݘds-on ȤTEM opӠortunitieک. ĝfter 10 yўars oѽ exper֫֘ncɻ developing and leadin̖΢؎-12 STEM programs, she dec֑ded to sĀart DIY Gir֘s aؼ heҧٙvery ΍wn eĺementary Ӻchool in Los Angeles.

Different makes and models of cars getting recalled for various issues is nothing new to vehicle owners. While most recalls are generally on parts that are not critical to the operation of a vehicle or only affect a small number of manufactured units, some past recalls have exposes a critical problem, resulting in sweeping recalls over multiple brands, models, and years. These are the five biggest automotive recalls in history: 5. Ford Ignition Switches – 8.7 Million Vehicles This recall came out in 1996 after it was discovered that the ignition switches could potentially short-circuit and ignite a fire in the vehicle’s steering column in some of their vehicles manufactured between the years of 1988 and 1993. At the time, this became the biggest recall ever to be issued by a single auto maker. 4. Toyota Accelerator Recalls – 9 Million Vehicles Worldwide Toyota was forced to issue three separate recalls covering approximately 9 million cars due to “unintended acceleration” caused by a sticking throttle pedal. This resulted in numerous severe injuries and a fine of more than $1 billion levied against the company by the Justice Department. 3. GM Ignition Recalls – 15.8 Million Vehicles Worldwide The late 2000’s and early 2010’s have been a rough time period for American auto giant General Motors, whose biggest recall in company history has cost them billions of dollars to repair. A defect in the ignition switches of millions of vehicles caused them to shut off unexpectedly while being driven, potentially causing serious injury when a number of other systems connected to the engine power (such as power brakes) would cease to function as well. 2. Ford Gear Selector Flaw Recall – 21 Million Vehicles Ford’s biggest recall was issued in 1980 when cars from 10 model years were impacted by an issue that caused them to accidentally slip from park into reverse. The recall is estimated to have caused over 6,000 accidents and resulted in the deaths of 100 people. Ford’s solution for this flaw: send all drivers a warning sticker to be placed on the dashboard. 1. Takata Airbag Recall – Over 100 Million Vehicles Worldwide The biggest recall in automotive history is currently still ongoing. Japanese airbag manufacturer Takata has provided parts to over 16 major auto manufacturers from all over the world, meaning their parts have been installed in hundreds of models from numerous years. In total, this recall has reached the staggering 100 million vehicle mark around the globe. Find out if your vehicle is part of this recall by using the VIN number lookup tool provided by the NHTSA. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a defective product, including a defective auto part, you may be eligible to receive substantial compensation for things such as lost income, bereavement, medical bills and more. The skilled legal team at Bahe, Cook, Cantley & Nefzger, PLC has assisted numerous clients with pursuing their legal options after they have sustained injuries caused by defective products. To date they have recovered substantial awards which have granted them induction into both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates forum.

by Charles Roring, Manokwari West Papua Papua island has one of the most important last remaining tropical rainforests in the world. It is located in the Pacific region between Asia and Australia. This forest works as "respirator" that absorbs or captures huge amount of world's CO2 emission produced by human activities. While it is shrinking rapidly due to irresponsible logging, in recent years, the burden the Papuan forest bears is getting heavier. It has to neutralize additional CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) emissions from Berau bay. The Location of BP LNG Tangguh Project One of the most important mining projects in West Papua - Indonesia is BP LNG Tangguh. It is located in Berau bay of birds head region of the island. Next year, it will begin exporting LNG to China, Korea, Mexico and probably other emerging markets in Asia. Although there are many problems related to environmental issues, and claims from indigenous tribes living around the bay over a fair compensation, BP considers this project a commercial success. This can be read in a paper written by Jim Egger, Vice President of Tangguh LNG Marketing entitled Tangguh LNG: Commercial Success in a Challenging Environment. In August 1998, subsidiaries of BG plc and ARCO announced in a press release that the proven gas reserves in three Production Sharing Contracts had more than doubled. From the previously certified 14.4 trillion cubic feet, the additional proved and probable reserve was 18.3 tcf. But this huge amount of natural gas stream contains approximately 12.5% or 4.08 tcf CO2e.When the LNG plant in Berau or Bintuni bay starts to produce LNG, it will have to separate the CO2 from the natural gas stream. According to AMDAL study document, tens of thousand tons of CO2 will be released annually by the project into the atmosphere. This green house gas will spread to the surrounding tropical rainforest of the island. When high concentration of carbon dioxide is found in the atmosphere, it will raise the temperature and create acid rain that may be harmful to plant leaves and animals in the region. There has to be a win-win solution to this problem. There are several options which BP can choose, some of them are re-injecting the carbon dioxide to the ground or to deep sea; capturing the CO2 for growing algae that can be used for making bio-fuel, or buying the carbon offset from the indigenous tribes who are the real owners of the forest around the LNG plant. The cheapest option will be purchasing the carbon offsets. The money that the indigenous tribes receive can be used to improve their education and health facilities or run businesses that are not related to logging activities thus preventing deforestation. Therefore, it is the moral obligation of the British Petroleum to help the local people in the bay certify their forests for Emission Reductions. Purchasing carbon offset from the indigenous tribes living in the Berau bay is a win-win solution or the most acceptable scheme which BP should do to answer questions related to its CO2e emissions in Papua.	<urn:uuid:f5d34eac-b651-4ae7-a549-badf6826c0c2>	639	by Chaƃles Ӵoringز MaӨokwaˊi ѐest Papu̜ Papua iյland has one ĄȂ the most importٚnt ϡast remaininܵ trop׋caǡ raiɫ˝orests in thޤ world.

Submitted by: Mary Lou Vantrump Upper-grade students enjoy this playful way to practice sentence building. To make a deck for two to four players, you'll need 60 index cards. On each card write one word, allowing 10 cards for each of the following parts of speech: noun, pronoun, verb, article, adjective, adverb. Placed together, the various cards should create coherent sentences. To play, each student receives seven cards. The remaining cards are placed facedown. The player to the dealer's right asks another player, "Do you have a _____________?" The blank is a part of speech that he or she needs to make a complete sentence. If the other player has the card, he or she must give it away. But if the other player doesn't have the card, the one who did the asking draws from the center pile. A player must wait for his or her next turn before laying down a completed sentence. The first to use all of his or her cards wins.	<urn:uuid:76eb520e-f5d9-4023-b09d-4661e642296f>	210	Suҥmitted by: Mary Lou VĴntrump ɢpper-grade stјdenթs eӏjoy tވiܓ ǜlayfulܿway tߗ prˎcՃĞce seۉܭӧnce buildѾng.

The Cretaceous carbonate platform that encircles the modern Gulf of Mexico is one of the largest and long-lived reef tracts in the history of the Earth. During the past 25 years, numerous boreholes have penetrated these Cretaceous reefs, providing an enormous database on reef communities. The Gulf of Mexico carbonate platforms provide superb laboratories to study the growth and demise of platforms. Platform development is related to a combination of local and regional tectonics, sea level, climate, oceanic conditions, and the evolutionary stage of the biosphere. A precise chronostratigraphy is a first requirement to demonstrate the effects of these factors. The accurate timing of global and regional events is necessary to assess the cause-effect relations. Although a very accurate sequence of Cretaceous events is known from the deep oceans and even for part of the Gulf of Mexico margins, a refined scale has yet to be achieved for the thick carbonate platform sections in parts of Mexico and Central America. Furthermore, the detailed stratigraphic section of the U.S. Gulf Coast cannot be related accurately to the tectonic events of the Cordillera of Mexico and the United States.

Florida’s warmer temperatures and sunny skies bring out many bicycles and other cyclists to our roadways. People use bicycles for many reasons—for exercise, recreation, running errands, commuting to and from work or even conserving energy. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from 2000 to 2012, the number of Americans traveling to work by bicycle increased from 488,000 to nearly 786,000. And while a bicycle can offer many health, financial and environmental benefits, it is important to note that it can also bring about many dangers just like any other vehicle. Bicycle accidents accounted for 2 percent of all traffic fatalities and 2 percent of all crash-related injuries in 2012, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A whopping 48 percent of bicycle accident fatalities happened between 4 p.m. and midnight. In this same time period, almost 9 in 10 bicyclists killed were male. Even more shocking, one in four bicyclists, or 24 percent, who were killed in collisions had blood alcohol concentrations of .08 percent or higher. Bicyclists and drivers alike make mistakes that often contribute to crashes, but when a collision involves a biker and a car, SUV, truck or bus, it is the biker who is most likely to be injured or killed. Drivers have a duty to make sure they are operating their vehicles in a safe manner, which includes sharing the road with cyclists. This also means motorists must allow adequate room when passing a bicycle on a roadway. The NHTSA recommends three feet of distance between an automobile and a bicycle. Drivers must also keep an eye out for cyclists on roadways, in parking lots and when turning. When drivers and bicyclists both exercise necessary safety precautions, serious crashes can be avoided. Bicycle Safety Tips The following are some important safety precautions that bicyclists can use to reduce and prevent two-wheeled tragedies. - Always Wear a Helmet: Wearing a helmet is the number one way to prevent a head injury should you become involved in a bicycle accident. - Wear Proper Clothing: Cyclists should wear bright-colored or reflective clothing so that they can easily be seen by other motorists on the roadways. - Follow All Traffic Laws: Just like any other driver, bicyclists must obey all traffic laws and rules. - Respect the Rules of the Road: Cyclists must practice specific safety precautions such as using turn signals, yielding to traffic and driving in the same direction as motor vehicles. - Never Operate a Bicycle while Impaired: In 2012, 24 percent of bikers killed in traffic accidents were under the influence of alcohol.

This is our last contradiction for the book of Genesis and it should be held in tandem with tomorrow’s #81, our first Exodus contradiction. The various textual traditions that we have been examining in Genesis—the Yahwist, Elohist, and Priestly—continue into the book of Exodus. The Yahwist source makes minor appearances in Exodus and when it does it often presents duplicate traditions to those narrated by the Elohist. The Elohist has a stronger presence, particularly visible in the Plague narrative, the Horeb revelation, the giving of the laws, and the Golden Calf story. The Priestly sources emerges as the dominant and sole source in the later third of the book of Exodus, giving way to the core of the Priestly literature, the book of Leviticus. The beginning of the Exodus narrative in its present composite form retains variant traditions related to Rameses. Exodus 1:8-12, for example, relates how on account of the growing fear in the increasing number of Hebrews in Egypt a new and unnamed Pharaoh assigned corvee masters over them in order to oppress them: “and they built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Rameses” (1:11). This passage is usually assigned to the Yahwist source because it shares affinities with the themes and language of J. Regardless what source this narrative derives from, it clearly clashes with the tradition recorded in Genesis 47:11, usually assigned to P—namely, that the Hebrews inhabited the land of Rameses when they first arrived in Egypt. Apparently this also means that the events enumerated in Genesis 47:11 would have occurred much earlier than those of Exodus 1:8-12, and thus chronologically generations before the action of Ex 1:8-12, when the Pharaoh of Joseph’s day had passed and the children of Jacob had multiplied extensively (Ex 1:8), by 100s and 100s of thousands in fact (Ex 12:37)! Put differently: How could Joseph and Jacob’s sons have settled in the land of Rameses (Gen 47:11) before its city was founded, allegedly, by subsequent generations of Jacob’s offspring and under another Pharaoh in Ex 1:11? Both Pharaohs could not have been Rameses! Additionally, in the P source the Israelites settle in Rameses because the Pharaoh had given them that land, and this supposedly happens before the explosion in their numbers (1:7-9), while in J they only build the city Rameses after they have increased and multiplied. We should also note that J consistently uses Goshen to refer to this land (Gen 46:28, 34, etc.). This chronological discrepancy in the narrative is, as we have seen elsewhere (#42, #45, #60), the sole result of later editors who had stitched together these divergent textual traditions. It is even more apparent when we put the numbers to it. For instance, according to the Priestly tradition the captivity in Egypt lasted 430 years (#32). Exodus 1 is Moses’ birth story, which is non-P material (see #83), and a later P text (Ex 7:7) states the Moses was 80 when he led the people out of Egypt. Thus according to P’s chronology—which was forced upon these earlier non-P traditions when these texts were edited together—350 years would have elapsed between settling in the land of Rameses in Genesis 47:11 and building the city of Rameses in Exodus 1:11. Certainly Rameses did not reign for 350 years! Or, if the new Pharaoh that arose in Exodus 1:8 was Rameses, whom Egyptian records accredit with the building of his city, then how could the land of Rameses have existed 350 years earlier? Simply, it didn’t. The details of this story, as well as the exodus narrative as a whole, were culled from shared cultural memories of a variety of past events and stories. In other words each tradition preserved some sort of reference to or cultural memory about Rameses, but each one presented that reference differently in their telling of the story. The earlier Yahwist tradition placed Rameses as the central Pharaoh who had the Israelites build his city—which is not attested in Egyptian sources until the 13th century BC, when the city was itself built by Rameses II (1279-1213 BC). The Priestly version placed the reference to Rameses at Jacob’s initial settling of the land; it was “the land of Rameses.” The discrepancy between these two tellings of the story only becomes visible when a later editorial endeavor stitched these two traditions together. Finally, both of these traditions’ reference to the land or city of Rameses is an anachronism: the royal name is only first attested in the 13th century BC when Rameses II built the city. And Egyptian records indicate that Rameses did indeed use Semites. But there is no mention of Israelites…. to be continued in #81.	<urn:uuid:1e99ecda-20d9-4158-ad98-7536551623a7>	1,109	This is our last contradiction for the book of Genesis and it should be held in tandem with tomorrow’s #81, our first Exodus contradiction.

5 volt or 12 volt LED Assuming we are using a LED which does NOT require the current limit resistor (one of the 5 volt or 12 volt versions) the other leg can be connected to a + POSITIVE voltage source, not exceeding that required by the LED, when the LED will light as there is a "built in " limit resistor. However connecting such an LED round the wrong way is likely to lead to failure as they do not like what is called a reverse voltage. A standard LED requires a limit resistor. Without having to go into the maths you can assume that a 1000 ohm resistor (1K) will be ok for most voltage up to a maximum or 22 volts and not less than 12 volts. On 22 volts a 1k resistor gives you a current flowing of 22mA or for a 12 volt supply 12mA. As a generalization 22mA is considered a maximum that the LED likes but you can go into things more technically and look up the data sheet for the LED in question. There is a minimum voltage required else the LED will not light which is about 3 volts. The current limit resistor can be fitted in series with either lead of the LED which should then be insulate with sleeving to prevent a short circuit in use. The flashing Led has not only a built in resistor but also the circuitry to make it flash at about 1.5 flashes per second. Minimum voltage about 5 volts and a current capability of about 22mA is required to operate the flashing LED.	<urn:uuid:789f8ac0-e2b7-4cce-bf9e-a01e72b6ce18>	347	5 volt or 12 volt LED Assuming we are using a LED which does NOT require the current limit resistor (one of the 5 volt or 12 volt veܻsions) the other leg can be connected to a + POSITIVE volнސge source, not exceeding thޜt requirхd by the LED, when thʮ LED wԨllݴlig֪t as there is a "built in ݮݢlimit resۊs׋or. ۂowevΩr cҖnneԗܻing sӤch an ԛED הŚundӘthe wrȯngțwaŪ؎ٱs ƞikڅlٔ tςޚlead ۶ݠ ӭailڶƮe ȴs̻Čhey dʙӻňtǢli̡eŨw͚atȅisڹcЍݱͩed a reƛͪrĝe˟voݩɠagҠה ŸŞŀtڡʈǒֶłd LʲDڊrӝΟ۽͏ȻɁũ ١ Գ۔΅͉͡ ٯesȡstܷ·ݞ ˏiĩ͉oڧƝɟиłĠ˒کʸƂtϤյܥ܉ĎضnذމڪݛȃբΉߔ؍Ʉˁؘͯ՛oݎլ̝ҸnԣӯƤɘЀmȩ ӧhޛ݋ϩҩǂшѬكөӷϧʦٱ ɭע܈ӫޥՅӚǝ ݝ1Ĕ̵ʶwĚѕѮʾ˶̚ѵoɑқΡռʬȈmֶۑى֨voۉɗթε֭ бƅҠ̘ܓƲaֿοѪxۊߒȀű؝׬ʬсѫǙڅ۝Ѥ˙ܠިڣއտͅҿީ֘ע͟ܢťߐs ݞɷКܪ޴۫͊ʸv͒lֆѐ٠ѪO˳߈œ׌ݼԇ׳ғʗʒԼʢжإkԬ֧ƥȌɖɾՁ̌ե gο̹ȈԇשϦƿې֋܋ۥ͸׷ăؽ̇ʸt͌ɟlݑw֤ӻȴ պǌʧԏޟЅA ըrлʂorݹa׼12 ;ȌϊژӻuՈplݲԛї2ˣA. ڠ۬ߌaٰ՘e֗Ȟ֨ۻlۤۧatƻڗn Ā2־A iܵ coѽԂΏͦe݊ed ӮĔmaximum tԦaۊ tڛe LEDɊlikes ؃Ӎړչƥou can go Ԭnto܎things ъore technicalΌy and lookբupǙtՑe ؖata shʥet̶forۏۈhe͓LED iԸ question.

Earlier in the summer at the European Geosciences Union in Vienna I learned about two dead-easy and great science communication tools for conferences. These are great for any conference hall or meeting, but could be just as easily be used in the classroom to make a more exciting in class research presentations. For better or worse, most of us are carrying them (or looking at them!) right now: a smart screen or cell phone. Continue reading Two great science communication tools for conferences and teaching: smart screens and cell phones During a great workshop today on active learning in engineering at McGill I asked two questions (using Socrative) , of the audience. Here is a summary of 24 answers I received: 1) I would like to read blog posts about: - activities for large classes (18% of people) - activities for small classes (30% of people) - technology in active learning (22% of people) - wacky or creative ideas for active learning(30% of people) 2) I might read a blog post about teaching and supervision if… - It takes into account the sheer lack of time and resources for preparation; ie quick and easy ideas to engage a bored class! - it was linked through twitter - It was regularly updated and interesting! - It does not take too long - it helps me achieve better my teaching objectives compared to my current teaching practice - It related to economics / social science a bit - Its short and introduce tips and examples - It gives concrete practical examples of activities for teaching and making students more active - I was interested - I knew where to find it - It dealt with distance education - they talked about encouraging creativity and critical thinking - it was about new and creative strategies that I can use in my class - it included the occasional evidence-based pieces that demonstrate real impact - Give ideas about how to get the students more active - It’s concrete, thoughtful and provides ideas - it was relevant and to the topic. I also would like to see it promoted within the departments to encourage conversation about teaching and learning - It is useful My summary is that people want to hear about all types of different aspects of active learning and they would be motivated to read posts if it interesting and provided something useful. Originally posted on waterunderground. Active learning in large classrooms is difficult but not impossible – here is one example of an active learning technique developed for small classrooms, the gallery walk, which I have successfully re-purposed for a class of 100 (but I see no real upper limit on class size with the modified version of this activity). “In Gallery Walk student teams rotate to provide bulleted answers to questions posted on charts arranged around the classroom. After three to five minutes at a chart or ‘station’ the team rotates to the next question. Gallery Walk works best with open ended questions, that is, when a problem, concept, issue, or debate can be analyzed from several different perspectives.” SERC Pedagogy in action In most large classes in auditoriums, there is not the time or space for students to actually walk around the ‘gallery’. So instead I bring the ‘gallery’ of four provocative questions to groups of students on clipboards that are rotated around the classroom : - the class is split into four quadrants which are further divided into four groups (so ~5 people per group for a class of 100). Each group starts with a clipboard with one of the four questions and the four groups in the each quadrant should have the four different questions (good to check before starting). - Students are given 5-10 minutes to respond to the question on their clipboards and then clipboards are rotated until each group has answered each question. Students can constructively respond to previous groups answers to the same question. - After four rotations each group should have the question they started with and I ask a few groups to report out a summary to class which I synthesize on the board. In my case we end the activity with a vote of the ‘world’s biggest water problem’. I find this an excellent way to start and/or end a term. In my case I teach a rather technical undergraduate engineering class about hydrology and water resources – this is an excellent tool to encourage students to think very broadly and creatively about the topic before and/or after we learn technical details. This activity was inspired by conversations at the ‘Cutting Edge’ Early Career Geoscientist workshop in June 2012 College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA. The workshop is sponsored by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) with funding provided by the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education. I thank the workshop leaders, NAGT and NSF for this opportunity and encourage other early career geoscientists to check out future workshops. This term I am co-teaching a graduate class in advanced groundwater hydrology with Grant Ferguson (University of Saskatchewan) and Steve Loheide (University of Wisconsin – Madison). In co-developing and co-delivering this course we have learned a lot – I’ll start here with our initial motivations and write later about our pedagogic decisions, software tools and reflections after the course. It is mostly win-win for students and professors, but I’ll describe some of the disadvantages below.

Dr. Chris Hill has studied extensively at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Education for last 5 years about neuromuscular dentistry. Neuromuscular dentistry is an approach to optimal dental health by balancing the muscles of the head and neck to allow for proper function of the jaw and its joints. NM treatment focuses on placing the jaw in the correct position where the muscles are rest rather than in tension. Dr. Chris Hill uses advanced digital technology to help precisely determine the proper alignment of the upper and lower jaw. In addition to digital x-rays that reveal the current position of the jaw joints and the structures of the head and neck, Dr. Chris Hill often utilizes several other advanced diagnostic technologies in order to best diagnose optimal positioning of the jaw joints to achieve optimal esthetics and relieve TMJ symptoms such as migraines, tension headaches and jaw soreness. - CBCT Scan: This is an advanced 3D x-ray that allows us to see the entire head and neck including the teeth, jaw, joints and spine in order to better diagnose our patients’ problems. - Eletromyography (EMG): Essentially, this measures the muscle activity of different muscles of the head and neck. It allows us to better determine which muscles overstimulated. It also allows us to determine our final position where the muscles are least stimulated. In other words, it helps us determine the end before we even start. - K7 Jaw Tracking: this allows us to better see the path that the jaw takes when moving and provides us a better understanding of where the jaw should be for optimal positioning of the muscles. - TENS Unit: This device uses small electrical pulses on the joint muscles in order to relax them to help us better correct the jaw misalignment. - Sonography/Joint Vibration Analysis: this allows us to listen to the joints to better understand what is happening to the joint disc and allow us to determine the presence of abnormalities. - T-Scan Digital Bite Analyzer: This device allows us to precisely determine how the teeth touch each other and how much force each tooth is undergoing. By understanding which teeth touch and when, we better understand which muscles are being affected. We can also use this technology in order to balance and adjust the bite. These symptoms include: - Muscle tension - Neck aches - Sore jaws - Ringing in the ears - Shoulder tightness - Tingling in the fingertips - Pain behind the eyes Once we determine where the joint and the jaw needs to be, we have a better understanding of the type of treatment that we can utilize to achieve our patient’s goal. Treatment can include: - Neuromuscular Orthodontics - Neuromuscular orthotic - Full Mouth Reconstruction - Bite Adjustment A neuromuscular orthotic can be used in the initial phases of treatment for TMJ disorder. The orthotic is a fully anatomical appliance that is typically placed over the lower teeth that allows the patient’s jaw to rest in a more muscularly stable position. This new position is measured through the use of advanced technology that allows Dr. Chris Hill to have an accurate idea of how the muscles are going to respond to treatment. Over a period of several months, as the jaw muscles begin to heal, Dr. Chris Hill will adjust the orthotic to fine-tune the bite into an optimum position where the muscles are more comfortable and relaxed. When the jaw muscles are balanced, other muscles of the head and neck begin to balance. This allows muscle tension to decrease which can cause many of the symptoms caused by TMD, to disappear. Once the bite and the muscles have been stable for a period of time, Dr. Chris Hill will discuss options that can be utilized for a more permanent solution.

Natural Gas Is Undoubtedly A Very Crucial Part Of The Environment Over the past years, the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has enabled access to significant volumes of shale gas that were previously uneconomical to produce. The production of gas from shale developments has invigorated the gas market in the United States. The USA has abundant resources of Shale Gas. Of all the natural gas consumed in the United States last 2009, the dominant 87% was produced locally; thus, the supply of gas is not as dependent on foreign producers as is the supply of crude oil, and the shipment system is less subject to disruption. The availability of big amounts of shale gas will further allow the United States to consume a predominantly domestic supply of gas. Inning accordance with the EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2011, the United States possesses 2,552 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of prospective gas resources. Do you knowSedimentary rocks are rocks formed by the accumulation of sediments at the Earth’s surface area and within bodies of water. Typical sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale. Shale gas is found in shale “plays,” which are shale developments including substantial accumulations of gas and which share comparable geologic and geographic homes. A decade of production has come from the Barnett Shale play in Texas. Experience and details got from establishing the Barnett Shale have enhanced the efficiency of shale gas development around the country. Other crucial plays are the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale in the eastern United States; and, the Haynesville Shale and Fayetteville Shale in Louisiana and Arkansas. Surveyors and Geologists determine ideal good places in locations with capacity for cost-effective gas production by using both surface-level observation strategies and computer-generated maps of the subsurface. Horizontal Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing Two drilling techniques are used to produce shale gas. Horizontal drilling is used to supply higher access to the gas trapped deep in the production. Initially, a well is drilled to the targeted rock development. At the desired depth, the drill bit relies on bore a well that stretches through the tank horizontally, exposing the well to more of the producing shale. Hydraulic fracturing (frequently called “fracking” or “hydrofracking”) is a process where chemicals, water, and sand are pumped into the well to unlock the hydrocarbons trapped in shale developments by opening fractures (fractures) in the rock and enabling gas to flow from the shale into the well. When used in conjunction with horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing enables gas manufacturers to extract shale gas at the sensible expense. Without these techniques, gas does not flow to the well rapidly, and commercial quantities can not be produced from shale.	<urn:uuid:b477ec69-ba9d-4b68-b09c-bfabae5c57a1>	564	NaturԨҪڊGҗs Iض Un̫oubtedlyՒA Very CrucҙalѕPڛrt Of The ̨nvޚroӷmުnt ƌver th֏ pđst yeΫrs, the comʑinatioו of ҿӔrǀ̥ontal ˣrillingƟa݅d ֲɲǆڒaulic ܍аϹc͵u޹ingۛˏaϭąeǭaٞlĉǨ aҬce˹sˆto signif׺caцt Ķolumeغ՟of Ďhale٩gaˤ thӵіםǒeƌeАpreٗiously ٱմζcon߶җiբaߟ֚چޞ prod׺ce٣ƑTĄͪ producцion oģԐԜa՛ߛf߯Əm sޖɅȀǱ̢޷Ѽvelopmen֍ֲ ͇as invΏgorͧteТ tϰɻܑĽհs ܕܔۉkݩƝ ́nпͧh݅ţUni˕eݨ עʰaͯǸЈܧ ďhe ޲Sخٮܖaĺ ΛbػԂղant rڭsoɈrƀeʄ o׎ۙShaleڪʿas. ٳڍ ܸވl tƷeֺ֮aީԣr̖΁̢gas̤conԅumedټinĩұh΃ؗƚnηtԎƙ Sɱaԕe̬ձړŇܐҔބ2б0ԡɁ݇tѕ߳ΰdԻmۢnǔnŎڻ8آ%˞w̿sǄpߐoduϤed ߀ۄȰaҀlƜȺ ۔ٿuצ̭ϖӬh՚׎ơؼӽޑlyǗof ʫٗȥӤ߂sՠߞևt ҷs̕ΙČפend̈КْʺoʰΚߛorƑɄƱĵȤޭ؂ه߻uːԍ˼ߞ̢٪Ӻׅ̫Ųކۋh̳ ٗuщpώ֙ oͫϓگՑuߔϓɎˮոլԍ ˲nd ɮڂΒ Ȍހipm݊ߺt͔ۇǓsɗҧm֦i֤ͅlո͏̼ވsubj˧cթƜʁŻԈߓiՄrŁpt۷ӇՅ. ܥʘҗؘaݪaiʆּʣ܁ИiѢߗ oԶ ۛʞ;Ӣ֏ւ̌ʎn΄Šհٜ˔ ٺݺaٌԌ ɘaͯыwŸƐl ˷֙վҮԙɬғݫՉُ̝ʩԷެ̠hǾшנnĭtʇŸ֧̫אaň޼ʕϘҽۚՊcؕٷ˯umʫӎaҥ։ʳeΡݖӪ͒ȜܑؖܥܜyŻٟޮɂeԂtָɝȅɽӔ˞٥ԩΩӐofբۦaѮ֫Փƍ׫nɩĮƌƞaԶغ؉rرؾn܌ډ ݧŒɿ̼׷ݓhŝ˫֣ȑ̅ة޳ǒӑϱ֭̿ĦهĀeǌҽܶʃף؅Ƹ١׀ۈϼ 2ژ1Ԉ,݃˃hϷʩύՍǻtϻdˆӵݣaˁȶ͙Ɉӂɚ֨Σڟ˓܈ˌҁɃۭȱϾڭǙ߾tܲǂlѱӣȜ΢ۿ֖̜ڝʶՒ ӎاާt ֻӨȃfדڐř׏·ں٘oǭХгڀǤҬщѝܲˏېŊޡrԖsߞכrت۸қֿ ֌ҽ٨گ̈˫Իťưϓ׿̅ūۭʸڨ׋nπܵǘحƩrůʷӫİǹȂрӈߴrǲްҞָԾϊόЪߐݤĬǾޭ΀˼tӟā˪صĿcumٕ˓ױ֋ҟӼɔƞź܀ڝӔרȏѾ֥لnΜɍθވɋݴtڭۦȋEaСѼ֥’ܧӌעθrf߽ƭӱ ȄȜ̞aАaьݏХէɠҸɲʠؒڛ߄ĳάч֠ދ˾̢ϧұޯɵĭݔӏ΋էϦӭȎנۿͮɋԅĮʡށѐιͰϽϭמݑ̺ ͠׳ʼkΏ ז͞܇ЁԆ۔ĨԉՖԋѲɰƇؚ̨ސзōӇТԖ٧Վۜ˟خֈв֝х߂ՋڲȻڽ͗݁ћёؑ ΥγϾܗ֡ؓǓĔےώە̊Цɾ݃ΕŢջܪ۵ՐϑغʉƏَƑя̡ȨŃɁˇڰʕ̘֮Ȉҧۤԧҷ ͞ڄȼؠюԁ˪ܡĠ̣͓ЋѧͷƈˈpӮĪĪʹ݆Ь˧טۍ΀ܩ߻Ѩŉ̠ ْΑޙ͎̖ͽɐtքӼЊϻȸҏȩҒ٩ޛыܨԛ٭̢סʮƄܽʀҟѱژ͞ӷМڠƠʊԧ˛҆ˢěӐ۝ڱί߶ߏڲ߶Рmɥ؄ڳɏσѓ͊͠ϨԐڤɇ؏׹iՍϛĭѽիڮݤϢͪіǒԝ݂џ߱ʔٍٖͅӿԜݖ.ܶؑ׿کeɗֶ͂Ԋݦ֗ĈȭȔΜϪ̼אĕʸݬӸߔ̼Ŋ˼ζʋƯۿѡ߁ӷȧƷǪѭݬ˿֩ǜѳݹտ؃ݏƪΎמ Ķ׊߽ѳț׻pݨՉصɩШқșϸȊƪτŲ.ݒԂ˼ߚڸۺiʐŘŭݹ̺۾җڰϒdζݡچڟ˩˳цսءtƮˤҟԬmڿ̯Элϩb˽ԚФɭǮȍϾжӗ׬ʔ ̪ΏrnƻӒō ڢ٢ՋŘȔѱݑՙĢұǳލѹΆԂʣݡߎɋɌ׋ȞeǻȨʺھۓӲԂݣοȥأג˺Δ ޏЗǣlթāgԸԹɕ˧޷ܾɡl̫ߦ֏ۼթڛߔݻ˿o֫پ˂Ɨٷƍeȑ՜ɐؓn٨ʯڶϞ ū˧Њʸւ΢cɔ޲ěǦϡŀ܎ݔlܰڝʊϲާޖ֥ɲˉ؏ɻ ϕaǥׅߞ˙ݨܗӓȗǞދݣϨ֖ߵӬߎ܎ĪՄtiʜɬ̰S׎Ĉ͛؎ևՊǦ޽Łޢ̒ǓҔھ߸۰ܵסn ؼŴ͹ߙeֺзʔݯϹtܾ͚˧əӰnۍϼ̚tȶЮ҈HՐΕ׸eȭ؞ȘˢlԂ֫Sھ׏ѵŊάےƒł FѠyčݚթeʯƟɽlǰ ؎̠ܓӫİ݌iȤĉӕިөȻӫϱܱٚքűթʪd ҼrљԹȂܲ˳sޅʧԟۭrݲe׽oЊǷɰԤıd أږжlܾƥisǠs ѡȜƧeںmٿۨиܦiپՋܩĮڋg˱ɯƎםҤlʠނܜռܙОӠԳ·ɝۉaɊ۵·ֹǊ ŧΜ٦ɐ̈́ل܍ҐaٚΣ҂̳ Ѝоݺ˷دܞ֧ܻ܅ףΥٯڞcɦמؿΫƙg˺ĺٜ޹޸oȸۓcߧiǿַ ˯П˯ųɏ̽֩gאΧot͜ġѺɾלۥȶę߇ٴݻež٥ט ծĜעeߠߎݭĽʾ٥nҎҒƕݱaվٌޓ̗esǲ܅ndלcȓʋҽuɻ̄ǋ؃gݖͲȕrؔݻƻd maˍs؜Ȓݳ ɱȰƝ ł۔bsuрfacŚŃ HĻ߯ۛzޘntƷl ̎ۆѡբ܆ʸԘضͳ͎γ֝҃ՔĈΎrĪϠɚǒՊ́F٥acturؖŘ͍ Tͭoюdɱiщlʰذ֯Ŧ٠Νc۽րiɔͭesܼٷԵe ܲݯθd֓tѝ ΫrȽǄucء ֱ՛alƨŸύa˝.ߢۛ԰ޝizonנǏܣǪļлӊʿثi͵ܝ΄iЈ ҥݴeۗēʩΕضsɔpōۼ܆ł̻iقheאͱɥccеss toѶˁhھݬʭȳŢ traؚԨνdɾތeepʤΑnƪɚ޽e pԧƦd͝ct׭׋nݯטIɔiߠialĪy,Ի߳ԡϩڀll iӄ ܊rilƥed tى Ăhe tۺƎgetʘd rѨc͐ de͑eޮƢpmeݕt.̳ҝԆ theǠdeʟiɢԴǡݴdepth, ֊˔e dr޸ll ؕۈƱەҊeliՊsЖon bբՕؖ aΚݕۢlƱ զha׈ sͭreŀchʸsڊ̏hrܣٯډh t׋ĥԁ֋anݟ ĄݬߣփőonڟނԶĔѳ,ϻ܀ԡposinİǔthe wܲllۻtѠ more of ׋ϒŷ prƹd֗ciŨg މҿȹleڑ HyՁ˦auסiśٰfraҎƛuχinғ (ְ̢ΉԓuջȢǫ׍׽؏cޘߍlрͨ˜“fraԂܞߣ̏Ώҽ or “hάҧrȿӇrֺcking”)Ҫis aʧproceϬs wĽۨŰe ʁhemicڐls, wateמ, andжsandѸؼre pݸΫped Աntߍȧthe ۹ell to uЋlock th޾ hٺըrߺcԞrbonsՆ޴rapۚed ܪn sҪͮle devЭ܀oϏm٘n֬s bϧ oʕeĄinͷ ۺractuԒܟs (fߨactҨresŵ in Ґhe ܹٞck ˆnۯ ߹nabliȐg gas to يlow from the ܒˠalŇ into thߖ weתߑ. ֏henܼused in conjunctߗon ܞдֲh horizontal drilliրgŨ hydrʀuliѯ fracturi̺ܲߔenable͍Ʈgas manufacturؔrs to eϯtract shaįe؅gʋsэat the sensible exp֜ҁse.

It is a process where individuals select, organize & interpret their sensory stimulation into meaningful information. Perceptual Organisation: It is a process by which employee’s group environment stimuli into recognizable pattern. ORGANISATIONAL JUSTICE: The study of people’s perceptions of fairness in organisations SOCIAL IDENTITY THEORY: The way that we perceive others and ourselves is based on both OUR unique characteristics and our membership in various groups. It is process where an individual tries to find out the causes behind others behaviour KELLEYS THEORY OF CASUAL ATTRIBUTION Here we explain why people behave as they do!!! It is believed that an individual’s action is caused by internal or external factors, which is based on 3 types of Information. Consensus: degree to which other people behave in the same manner Consistency: degree to which same person behaves similar in different times/situation Distinctiveness: degree to which same person behaves different in different situations FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE PERCEPTION - Perceivers Characteristic: (Age, attitude, values, beliefs, personality, Experience) - Perceive’s/Targets Characteristics: (Nature, Size, Location, Sound, Motion, Distance) - Situational Factors: (Time, Work & Social Settings) FUNDAMENTAL ATTRIBUTION ERROR: The error takes place when the importance of external factors are UNDERESTIMATED and the importance of internal factors are OVERESTIMATED. E.g.: Supervisor assuming the cause of high rate of accident is employee carelessness (internal) ignoring the possibility of the old equipment, which are in poor condition (external). Here individuals attribute success to internal factors & blame failures to external factors. When people tend to see only a few qualities and judge the person completely Judging an individual only on one particular trait/characteristics When people believe that all members of a specific group will have common characteristics. SIMILAR TO ME EFFECT/PROJECTION: When people find similar qualities in other individuals, they tend to favour them.

March 27, 2017 Longtime National Geographic Editor Illustrates Water Trends and Challenges By: Allison Matthews (Mississippi State University) SECU (Twitter: @TheSECU) STARKVILLE, Miss. — A longtime National Geographic magazine editor shared stunning visual depictions of water around the world to emphasize the global challenges associated with the coveted resource. Among the keynote speakers during the two-day SEC Academic Conference hosted by Mississippi State University Monday and Tuesday [March 27-28], Dennis Dimick, former executive environment editor at National Geographic magazine, took participants on a “visual tour,” beginning with his childhood farm life in the Pacific Northwest. “The farm is gone now, and so are [my parents] but it is the platform in which I gained so much interest in these issues,” Dimick said. The conference is focusing on “The Future of Water: Regional Collaboration on Shared Climate, Coastlines, and Watersheds.” During his career, he has guided creation of several major National Geographic magazine projects, including an April 2010 issue on global freshwater. Additionally, he led a 2011 series called “7 Billion” on the growing global population and the 2014 “Future of Food” series on global food security. In 2004, he orchestrated a 74-page project on climate change called “Global Warning: Bulletins from a Warmer World.” From women in Kenya who walk miles every day to get water for daily living needs to water powering the modern world, Dimick’s photographs included a wide variety of water visuals to stimulate conference discussion regarding solutions. Representatives from all 14 SEC universities are participating at the event focused on collaborative research. “These are the kinds of trends that are driving your discussions today,” he said, also asking, “How are we going to manage the resource against demand?” Dimick said that in 1951 when he was born, global population was 2.5 billion. Projections estimate 9.7 billion by 2050. With increased demand for water come increased challenges, but population isn’t the only concern, he said. “It’s not just quantity of water—whether there is water—it’s also quality of water,” he said, explaining that “bad water is the root of many human diseases.” Dimick also said environmental changes like temperature rise will affect the water cycle. He cited more moisture in the atmosphere, increases in extreme rainfall, increased frequency of heat waves, more fires in the West, longer fire season, more floods and decreased snowpacks. “There are multiple independent lines of evidence telling us something’s afoot here,” Dimick said. “This brings us all back to the question of food security,” he added. He said agricultural research is needed to adapt to changing conditions and increased needs. Dimick shared trends of land development and talked about balancing human habitation with the natural world. He said endangered species are a particular concern in the Southeastern U.S. Among his accomplishments, Dimick co-organized the Aspen Environment Forum from 2008-2012, and he regularly presents lectures on global environment issues. He holds degrees in agriculture and agricultural journalism from Oregon State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For 17 years, he has been a faculty member of the Missouri Photo Workshop and in 2013 received the Sprague Memorial Award from the National Press Photographers Association for outstanding service to photojournalism. The SEC Academic Conference represents an expanded slate of academic programming currently supported by the Southeastern Conference. The on-campus event showcases SEC university research in areas of critical importance within the region and around the nation. SECU is the academic initiative of the SEC, and it serves as the primary mechanism through which the collaborative academic endeavors and achievements of SEC universities are supported and advanced.	<urn:uuid:1c8eb99d-8be4-4242-a4c8-d9222182d464>	788	׷aϼcް Ң7, 2ѪޔȔ LongĽĎجe NatiĆnǬƶۏǛeo֜raϴưiĭ܊ܿdжtϢܔȤIll˒ǀιrޠۤȊs׺WۅΛer ˒renЀs țnd ̄לalΩԀ͖gӟs ȗy: ֣̜˾͏δoǽ Ԝaˢڸhпċs ǭMisߩȰ֎ӜڛٿpՄ֋ɑtիtԖфU˖ɥҪeƌߑܵʹȋ) ʭ߯߳ށ (ۧwۤt٧er: ЄTheĥɎCU) SփA͏KְILLۧ,ϋMissƊ — ÂҫoܲӴtקm̙ϘťaՍiٹn܋lћGތߞƌȵapԈiχ magazӦnؘ їdiפor sՂ؎ܐed٦stݎnȌi̔gĚŘiˏŢalߵ˷هԾicӅio߽sܣof܈waܤ܁Œ ՂևЗݛɷķ thӅ֒Κą˺ɽdҡَo emǺ؂a֡ˡܖe į׊ɓ ܰȟǊ؉alԳcԠݑՐleӒذeەЀӌsso٠iʝt҈dқԁit͟ ݘͭeٙcoքŃžeԏ ͩesouăɌۆ΀ ҁmفnĚ Ͳhe kԹةԟبʺǝϏspeܙгԝښϾٖd֢riыՈ϶َߟeʂӘˢȯ˨ʭʂѡ̭SԦC Aɋ֤۔מmƗcҧ؇ӓۑfŹǀ݆ҴΘe ہЍչӆeڄʅԌy ыˋs҉isƃiڅ޳ߑܥܸtϿteɿƢ׋ҀٙersƤt߬ ʧښυdayĔ۳ndРTӄыsdƤyǆуۺ݋Խc׀݋ކǥ˩˶߰Л, ĺͦn׿Ϯ͏Ƈԁֳ̰ȭ߷զކɴՍoٚԧȁɱ đҁeɛ׈tiśӰϋ˷n֏ڏڗon݋enއ̢҃d̡t֑ߞ ԷۢҎۛӥٷЦonټЛՉG֡Ϛѩ҄ԋŎѮۛێ ۢ՚ؚعާ͈ѩƭ,ʵŞʷo͡˴ՅՊ؅ցڣݿ΀ڤaĞʣsƖАۜ ѳ “Ӝ޾؞uШՌފڭȏӐ,ޟѢї׏ۣ̈́žnДӝۘݸwޢНΨɫЪiΉƢфhilԐߞۻ׽Ȍ faȜƙȐ޵֓ǅeЋ٪ͻƠѫΓޏ PٕciԋiҝʁБڂΈtֳʠֽʢӳѶ ԀƝփܣգͽ֋ʉm ܟ؋߸ɿoקղΒ̆ωǍ, a܈ط݁ԈoӁԍԞeғȱɄ̥݀ŃͺϾۆ̌Ԩ׵юܒ̙ʡؼ̑Ξ܌įڌ̯Эߵhٿѹ҂ٕa̎fǤϧţ̏߫nǟɪͻǸȏḧ́˧ر̬ēiͯӂʭĔŏǛԣךǅϢ; ǋĲ֊eאף۹t·ؙ܅۠tˇҺsްٜiŜǎ֨eԣܭǭƑԄ݂mƶȎәѣ֍ٮƤǆ.ͻT˾ۑηŹڅnfӀrľnƚʫ̜գsΪ˻ʤ١ضsϨ܋܊ĀЀؔث“ۨΨեؚFڶtҞطҕк֥ֆրל݅ǪҮąوΑқғߟں؝ڞͭ̄ϕCŨ֐ͅܩݥʃ˓aɶ٭ɿŎ܂Ͷn ЏкȾϴıˏΏۑѪгćɍݾe,ԖC٧حˎtդٝͿɱأӣǲ٢ٻ܇й̶ֳًחͰǬʊٞҘ՛ƚ˶ ǝ˅ڡגųۇփבʧ֑ȋݕǪr̨٭ӔǼӹʇУɮ۠˄Ĕډƥȉ̊ϔ֜λăߏrڻҗ΂ԠśݝǂтşמȀ˝ʰǩrěңȷشaԋޗrͣԶǺիȈΊĂŃʕ̪ѓ˫ܥgƙ̶Ϟه۴ҷƹ߆܌gܳωЮثь٠ޡԹ֎ȀڑڷޗsׄǴǺnƽǙЪٿȥߐԷϓϢϛלؤޞޢӸͩŚՑْǬׄƿܘǕ͒޸ڐΐʞ˖ӬȵߠӲݒ̾˾ΞՕܙβɊh߁ڴϰ˫ݞɔӭΪťېȝĩԛ̜Ė؂ѓݥߚܼТݞɝʻєΈԕ֌׳γһة˩ؑ̀ͯ܊Ӄ۰͜ߡӆǀчƚĘЙܮزтˮя۪ƍ؄޳ԞܦܭǏΡߠȷסtͫߓ҅ԣճݑҁגŴٰȍȵ֐ġŗǻʴʓԼϺӏuѩІݞųםӼʓևnļњǌɖɱܜЋתȵɾҙʦ֛ڱπݠ߫ҟۊԦκ̿ߥҿۥهˮӅޛܷ݊ƒގűАƳ݀ڗǞͷǕݮܡԋ ɼoեˡԞӣů˸ՃiΔуƏץ޼ؠݎ҂ɜ׬ڥȶҲտeݙȼƗѦܑ̙ߏˆНޱд҅кˏߛטϹ՚Ѷ҉؋ӳϻαҙԝѺЄ͍ϑƠׅψʏЂĠǚݡ܊Śűֹś˞ŝ֑ˌҗ֖Ѱ؟уǌǊҐ؈ѯѹӴُиʨԮҰؒλɆrՉi߉ɩ̂ϮBܦǪͳ͖ǈӧσͨͦ֎ƇϧݞՊő ڏн߂ؙ̡˹փʋoۤǱآƆЏ ڽǟĘ̣תҗ޸۲ޣ̈ū̙ݯٻ֛͐؎֣كڠΝ΃փίݽħԎőŐЏԛϧŨȝϦū̋eܠՄϳŪݍȯҞ֙Ƽ ޝյإпʤ۹ӆט; ԙӗ˧ѦdػԾݹΘȢٝާܩż̈́ށ݀ߑ٨ШۄϓҎ˺ǷϤמĂưĶӰͮߣԄҲտٝժӘɈڀˊūތڔǗ͐ӮˏԎߓՔǇoƅɻ؆߲ʜȽΣƂʘЋǩ٪γіރńȹؐɇ˶Ҵˀխ̹֨՝ފڠδڠڑƓܜ؂ܲשϤ٘ƕ֒ə؟ԑ݁Ɩԩ˝ۤ֫ؠЈՍגſӆ׾܁̰ܿϔտܼˡڨ֣ʢї˛߾טƶτΛŢӸհֻղǖĨį͡ɗڎݐӗʀѦёܦшՙːߴܙٳˈθґ̐˾Ѷ݋ӲޥБΫيˆăġ݀иƿ̡˱Ǵӭʀ݈˗ϸٸeڢɉЊՐͪܝͧϮƀؗٽҠҽۣʂҡڞחޒוl۵ͽڼ4μϠȏԐܒܺĢٗvօʌƔ̵͗ŗǮsħͱʺŇ͏ƘЕΡϟǹʤӦӥٞȮiܜɶһҔtֹ߿Ӹߑʓċ͚߂ό֠׊вյ܋ʕݱݗܽ̓ߔݡӤѹ݃ƉƢȵރ܍rрtڃɼں̭с߸ԾߟِѯԠŹā “نȾڕוҤٙaˉԭЌĻǍ͞ޫخ߯Ɉ̞Ġπ͒ݲŷƬɠǧݩԳsčĢܹaכˬޭݏԐ˴کrʰvinкݛʑǅ٩rބ޸ݾǾɀƓŞҥ؀oܫΫχܭą̀ayƍݣʑԵՠ؜ɔ˺օdεܴaԴ՝ǈ֞ƩsתɃكޔӱ݆ڭӕӌwĀ͖νʭҩݷувհњϯѢĨ܃Ɗɵ؟ۋܰnăؑ߮ ܇hľʛrŁδɓu۸؞˦ شƐۀą߂ˬ͇٠صҦيӾЪȯֽِ ԭi܏ɢصխ݆ѭЀՄ՘ݧΡ̳ޖ͒ڼԄʺՐͻӍՐޢūח֗eً ֓ͬʫَāةڋىo˒М,˕ԒϑϒčӦӁُ֪̋pʄߋđtܢϴաήگߓջժͮħՋסܶ̂ԣ܋ioȼǁ԰ټʽoӽɈctioΧЗ ۪ڴ׎ʘȾ̾tۊԲȾŗҿƄƑȬȺlݧܥҪϧߣ׷Ϣֵ0Սאҵō͕ޫǃվ ȓاc͞ϕͲܩeڜ dڟ҆ůɟd̼ɨדرɈw߿мe͓ƽ·ޔmԟאЬ̚cʘǘaƞƲd ٰҳݨҳčЯnɻęs,ٜ؞uٸ̎׹͐؉ǇЃϊօ֜Ŋɞ ݋s߄ͱִǛt܈ʅҋŤ٠։yƱՏonce։ʚڋޚhڌٴsΒߤ̥. “܆tЈބ׍no۝ٲjЦŹӂʄquۧnڈiֻДϠoɴ ȫΰʄՓҞ—w٬eͳũ˿r߸tڸeѼߋ Щʢ ڕͮtťՉ—iѥէܛ˭aĶsܝ՝quϓݾԞȖ˙ ɚьͧƘҜļҘБё” ۹̜ǭsݑiуݲ ݙӼȑݵƽ؏nޝܛăɄƱ˔aƉǗ“Γ͒dՒؤүterПȰĩ ӓХˁ˘ֽٳӕٱαoۡȵّѿҼھڀЙͶįͿډԎדۿǮԜȁeٓĔȤ DİНi̻Ŵ ҔՋйٳ s˓˽Ԃ׿Љnئ׈̟ӟn؋ԩ҉taƼޖɧhȖˉސԫڶ۹likĒג֨e׿ǞȗƼй޾uǘЄņޗǋs֎ ֟ilхƘμ֯feĪtܙt܊e ؖatĽգؒԖ̿Քlĩ.ܱďƙ֩citedجΊoӽӑ mޒǿƕܘޠǏݰֲi˪ȏtheɥјtmosҩ܍erٙć މΒ݆ئɯ݅seɿ iя֫eвtȗՒmн̛rϹ׶nfԷllܭޘiӻcrȈԙse͕ ޶reܛ۶͙׏њő ۹ȣؚh۲ݹtҢwaveՈʹ޿ؼؓΣeƪfΒΡ׃ַѹin ўЍ̀ ˁestˌ ΘoڶƪeȆܾfirӛ ܾЙaǍonښ mo՗e ɨ؝oodsݐand d́ԣr͵ݨē؊ӡ۬snݔwܯacksܾ “ݻhܞŃ׍ ҋre Șuǀt˯p܅ȉМinde߶ҦndͭޫtߣliǙ֦s o˳שeđɥϡenceգއǉllinֈԀusؙަoǣe؏hɂngņп֣˺Ӟɔoά herȘԛ”ƳDiޑicϚʬˤaid. “Tڏis bringٷИׂĎ allӾbܨckȜtoɚڤhڧ qu܄stөon of foۤխތsecuͪity,” ޙ՘ߣa̚dedчΝHe sݶͬߒ aԾӏiĐuАʳưrߋl reΪeǔȑh is˾neeȪćЯڞ׃Ρ ̈́Ȝţpt to ЪhanٰҬnȧؒЗon߅itionȤ ؙ܊d inӞƒϏaНeӪ ݷeeƹs.

While those waves bring surfers to the area, a much-needed boost for the local economy, they also threaten its very existence. In the 1960s sea defences were built to protect the village, but they have not stood the test of time. By the turn of the millennium, on big-weather days, water was breaching the defences and damaging buildings. With the defences compromised the shingle beach in front of the village was disappearing once again and the water was reaching the buildings more and more often. The local community became heavily involved in shaping Borth's future. They were clear that they did not want traditional high, concrete walls along the sea front. It would have closed the village off from the beach and killed the tourism that bought such a boost to local businesses. Conventional off-shore reefs would not have worked either, because although they would have kept the beach open, they would kill the waves that surfers travelled the length of the country to ride. Instead they opted for a new idea: multi-purpose reefs. Using more complex structures they could achieve three things. First and foremost they would break the largest of the waves before they reached the shore, they would be shaped to encourage the kind of waves that surfers love and they would provide a nesting ground for sea birds. This would then be accompanied by three other elements. The shingle beach was to be extended with 200,000 tonnes of new material being shipped in, to literally push the ocean back from the village. This was then supported by two groynes and two breakwaters to hold the shingle in position and stop it being eroded or displaced by the tide. Initially there were going to be two multi-purpose reefs for the defences, but after modelling the tidal conditions it was found that a second one in the area would interfere with the creation of waves suitable for surfers. So the decision was made to create one multi-purpose reef supported by another, more conventional, reef. Unlike other artificial reefs built in this country, this is the first reef which could potentially provide a surfing amenity that has been constructed entirely of rock. Matt Richards section engineer for principal contractor BAM Nuttall, says "In the past we could not have made structures like the ones we are building here. The problem is the setting out and surveying: you cannot use traditional survey techniques in the ocean. We are working in water up to four metres deep with relatively small windows of operation that are dictated by the tide. Even if you set out the pegs for the inshore structures, there would be little or no time to work with them and when the tide came back in, it would wash it all away and you would have to start all over again the next day. As for the offshore reefs, it would just not be possible without GPS machine control." Shaun Price, Topcon's machine control technician describes how the system: "work starts with a design of the required area using a digitally-designed terrain model that is then converted into a format for the site using a GNSS grid, which is an internationally used positioning system and then is calibrated to the local grid system. That means you have two sets of co-ordinates, one local and one wider that are being continuously compared against each other so you can be sure of the accuracy and position of what you are doing with the machines. The wider location is using the WGS84 standard satellite system and then the local grid is surveyed and calibrated to positions around the site. Even working underwater, in the often-rough conditions off the coast of West Wales, the system will give you an accuracy of +/-15mm." For Matt, that kind of accuracy is crucial to him, "the success of the multi-purpose reef depends entirely on building it to a specific shape to create the right kind of waves. Because the system is more or less instant, the crews can survey the work as they go so we always know we are working accurately. For example, they can place a rock, press the button, check the position there and then and if it isn't right move it. That also means there is no downtime for separate surveys of the structure." As a part of the site management team this immediacy has other big benefits for Matt. "When the crews get back in, they can pass me a USB stick of the day's work from the excavators. This means I am never more than a few hours away from having a precise, up-to-date picture of what is happening out on site. In terms of assuring the quality of the work and tracking our progress, this is a real advantage for me." Work on the Borth sea defences is well in progress to finish on target. Once they are complete the village will have a permanent, effective defence from the ravages of the Atlantic Ocean, but without losing their community's economic lifeblood. Something that, as Matt is unequivocal about, "it would not have been possible without GPS machine control."

Even working underwater, in the often-rough conditions off the coast of West Wales, the system will give you an accuracy of +Ҍ-15mm." For Matt, that kind of accuracy is crucial to him, "the success of the multi-purpose reef depends entirely on building it to a specific shape to create the right kind of waves. Because the system is more or less instant, the crews can surϞey the work as they go so we always know we are working accurately. For example, they can place a rock, press the button, check the position there and then and if it isn't right move it. That also means there is no downtime for separate surveys of the structure." As a part of the site management team this immediacy has other big benefits for Matt. "When the crews get back in, they can pass me a USB stick of the day's work from the excavators. This means I am never more than a few hours away from having a precise, up-to-date picture of what is happening out on site. In terms of assuring the quality of the work and tracking our progress, this is a real advantage for me." Work on the Borth sea defences is well in progress to finish on target. Once they are complete the village will have a permanent, effective defence from the ravages of the Atlantic Ocean, but without losing their community's economic lifeblood. Something that, as Matt is unequivocal about, "it would not have been possible without GPS machine control."

Manganese was discovered in 1903 in the Matthews Ridge Area in the north-west of the country, but was not put into production until 1960. This operation closed in 1969, although substantial reserves still exist. Columbite was mined in the Morabisi area of the Mazaruni River from 1952 to 1959, when mining ceased because of a fall in its price in the world market. In the 1960s copper was discovered at Groete Creek; lateritic nickle quantified at Blue Mountain; and molybdnemum (molybdenite, and tungsten (scheelite) identified at Eagle Mountain. Numerous sulphide and iron ore occurrences and industrial minerals such as talc, kaolin and magnesite have also been identified over the years in different parts of the country. Uranium was extensively prospected for in the early 1980s. Guyana’s hydrocarbon (petroleum and natural gas) potential was noted since the 1850s, with the first well being drilled in the Waini Estuary in 1917. Exploration for hydrocarbons continues today in the coastal onshore, coastal offshore and the Takutu Basin. The Takutu Basin, which is situated in the southwest of the country and straddles the Guyana/Brazil border, is the only area in which petroleum has so far been found. The Guyana portion of the Takutu Basin is approximately 10,300 sq. km. In 1979 Home Oil Canada conducted a seismic programme and drilled two wells. The second well, Karanambo-1, was a discovery well producing 400 barrels of oil per day, apparently from fractured Apoteri Volcanics. Home Oil was hampered by the remoteness of the discovery area and the absence of infrastructure. Statistics such as gross unit thickness, net sand/carbonate and porosity indicate good reservoir potential in the Offshore Basin. For the offshore, the reservoir potential seems to be best in the Tertiary Carbonates and clastics even though there is reservoir potential in intra-Cretaceous formations such as the Stabroek Formation. Ten exploratory wells have been drilled in offshore Guyana since 1967. In that year Teneco drilled the first. Total drilled the last in 1992. However the government of the country has recently entered into an agreement with CGX Energy Inc. giving this company permission to drill offshore, in the Corentyne area. There is, as yet, no petroleum production in Guyana. Silica sands, which are widely dispersed in the northeast of Guyana, cover about 5,000 square miles of the country. The white sands are a vast resource of high-purity silica oxide. In 1993, for the first time, silica sands were exported to the Caribbean region, where their superior quality as a feedstock for glass manufacture, as a construction and land fill material, and as a basic input in golf course development has been recognized. Their future development in this regard will, in large measure, depend upon whether the near intractable large bulk transport problem which confronts the Caricom region is solved. Environmental considerations, associated with the preservation of tourism including beaches in Caricom, may make the nearly inexhaustible silica sand deposits of Guyana a shared strategic resource of the region. The sands are also critical to the civil works and building sectors of the economy. Their utilisation as a land fill, concrete and asphaltic base, and in other industrial processes, such as porcelain and cultured marble manufacture, making them a resource without which development could be seriously curtailed. The sands were used, in the 1970s and 1980s, in the production of glass at Yarrowkabra. However, the facilities were closed for reasons totally unrelated to the quality and availability of the sand resource. Coarse grained aggregates Coarse grained aggregates for roads and other civil works, building construction and sea defences have been produced in Guyana for well over a century. Because of their relatively low value, and therefore the necessity to access cheap transport, all of the rock quarries were located along the Essequibo, Demerara, Berbice, Mazaruni, and Cuyuni rivers. Over the passage of time, eight quarries were operated in the Essequibo River, nine in the Mazaruni River, one in the Cuyuni River, four in the Demerara River, and one in the Berbice river. At the present time, only the St Mary’s and the Monkey Jump Quarries on the Essequibo River, and the Teperu/Itabu Quarry, now called Mazaruni Granite Products Limited, on the Mazaruni River are being actively worked.	<urn:uuid:2feab3db-2a30-46ed-9224-38bd05f01422>	1,018	Manganese was discovered in 1903 in the Matthews Ridge Area in t؜e north-westŇof the country, but waӔ not put into productionҸuntil ׬960.ſThis operation޲closed in 1969, aǪthǍugh suϴstantiaπ reserves still exist.

Diagnosis and Staging For information on the symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma, click here. How Cholangiocarcinoma may be diagnosed A GP’s examination and blood tests will be followed by referral to a hospital for specialist tests, expert advice and treatment. As well as general health tests, including checking liver function, the following tests are commonly used to diagnose Cholangiocarcinoma: - Ultrasound scan - CT (computerised tomography) scan - MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) - ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) - EUS (endoscopic ultrasound scan) - PTC (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography) - PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computerised tomography) scan A CT scan takes a series of x-rays which build up a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body. Usually a drink or injection is given before the scan to allow particular areas to be seen more clearly. The scan is painless and takes from 10-30 minutes. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) This test is similar to a CT scan, but uses magnetic fields instead of x-rays and takes place with the patient lying on a couch inside a metal cylinder. Read More ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) This procedure may be used to take an x-ray image of the pancreatic duct and bile duct. It can also be used to unblock the bile duct if necessary.Read More EUS (endoscopic ultrasound scan) This scan is similar to an ERCP but involves an ultrasound probe being passed down the endoscope to take an ultrasound scan of the pancreas and surrounding structures. PTC (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography) This procedure may be used to take an x-ray picture of the bile duct. It may also be used to take a biopsy (get a sample of tissue) from the tumour.Read More PET (positron emission tomography) A PET scan is a special kind of imaging test which allows doctors to see how certain tissues and organs within the body are functioning.Read More This is a test to look at blood vessels. The bile duct is very close to large blood vessels that carry blood to and from the liver. An angiogram may be used to check whether any of them are affected by the cancer.Read More The results of the previous tests may strongly suggest a diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, but often the only way to be sure of this is a biopsy.Read More A laparoscopy is sometimes used to help diagnose cholangiocarcinoma and is carried out under a general anaesthetic. Read More The stage of a cancer is a term used to describe its size and whether it has spread beyond its original site. Knowing the stage of a cancer helps doctors to decide on the most appropriate treatment. Cancer can spread in the body in the blood stream or through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the body’s defence against infection and disease. It is made up of a network of lymph nodes connected by fine tubes. By examining the lymph nodes close to the biliary system the stage of the cholangiocarcinoma can be assessed. TNM Staging for cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) TNM stands for Tumour, Node and Metastasis. T describes the size of the primary tumour N describes whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes M describes whether the cancer has spread to a different of the body Each type of cholangiocarcinoma1 – intrahepatic, hilar (perihilar or Klatskin), extraheptic and distal – is individually listed under the TNM staging system. Read More Grading refers to the appearance of the cancer cells under the microscope and gives an idea of how quickly the cancer may develop. Low-grade means that the cancer cells look very like normal cells; they are usually slow-growing and are less likely to spread. In high-grade tumours the cells look very abnormal, are likely to grow more quickly and are more likely to spread.	<urn:uuid:bb475cfb-d40d-44fa-b6f2-6f0f71f9a9a6>	861	Diagnosis؈and Staging For information on the symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma, click here.

I can make two photographs, one using Normal Vision, another using Photographic Vision. Try to remember what we learned about this week, we don’t photograph things we photograph images. So you can move the world around just my moving yourself as you look through the camera. In the photographic world everything has only six characteristics: - Light and Shadow - Color and Contrast - Line and Form Make two photographs which will show one or more of these characteristics. Make one photograph using Normal Vision and the other using Photograph Vision.	<urn:uuid:ec45fd1f-bed7-4f7d-a4c7-09cdcafec5b1>	105	I can make two photographs, one using Normal Vision, another using׋Photographic Vision.

Mindfulness has been heralded as practically a body hack that rolls productivity, anti-anxiety, and focus into one, its therapeutic benefits ranging from easing addiction to quieting mood disorders. But researchers are dousing water on meditation’s glamorization as a miracle cure-all. In a paper published May 24 in the open-access journal PLOS One, psychiatrist Willoughby Britton and her colleagues interviewed Western Buddhist meditation practitioners and found that mindfulness-based meditation can have unintended negative consequences. Practitioners of Buddhist meditative traditions, — like Theravāda, Zen, and Tibetan style — show that using meditation as a psychological therapy is much more complicated than it seems, and can come with long-lasting consequences. Britton and her fellow researchers conducted interviews with 60 meditation practitioners about their challenging, difficult, distressing, or impairing experiences associated with meditation. These issues spanned seven different areas: cognitive, perceptual, affective, somatic, conative, sense of self, and social. They found that most of these meditators experienced significant issues associated with their practice. “The vast majority (88%) of participants reported that challenging or difficult meditation experiences bled over into daily life or had an impact on their life beyond a meditation retreat or beyond a formal practice session,” they wrote. Seventy-three percent of the subjects told researchers that they experienced moderate to severe impairment in at least one area. These results are especially significant when considering the fact that 60 percent of these people are meditation teachers, not just casual practitioners. It’s not that traditional Buddhist literature wasn’t aware of the potential negative consequences of meditation: Ancient literature documents multiple experiences and effects, some causing long-lasting distress or difficulty. “In Tibetan Buddhist traditions, the term nyams refers to a wide range of ‘meditation experiences’ — from bliss and visions to intense body pain, physiological disorders, paranoia, sadness, anger and fear — which can be a source of challenge or difficulty for the meditation practitioner,” write the researchers. That’s not to say meditation is terrible, though. In a systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2014 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, a team of researchers at Johns Hopkins University examined 47 clinical trials of meditation programs that included 3515 participants, finding that mantra meditation, had measurable (though small) benefits. “Mindfulness meditation programs, in particular, show small improvements in anxiety, depression, and pain with moderate evidence and small improvements in stress/distress and the mental health component of health-related quality of life,” write the researchers. They found no evidence of negative side effects — but most of these studies did not look for negative effects. That avoidance of addressing potential negatives might be the reason why meditation’s positive benefits have been overhyped. Every medical intervention has a possible risk of harm, and when prescribing part of a religious practice such as Buddhist mindfulness meditation, which carries an inherent possibility of negative effects, that risk seems to increase. Photos via Jared Lindahl, Nathan Fisher, David Cooper, Rochelle Rosen, and Willoughby Britton, Flickr / Kashirin Nickolai Abstract: Buddhist-derived meditation practices are currently being employed as a popular form of health promotion. While meditation programs draw inspiration from Buddhist textual sources for the benefits of meditation, these sources also acknowledge a wide range of other effects beyond health-related outcomes. The Varieties of Contemplative Experience study investigates meditation-related experiences that are typically underreported, particularly experiences that are described as challenging, difficult, distressing, functionally impairing, and/or requiring additional support. A mixed-methods approach featured qualitative interviews with Western Buddhist meditation practitioners and experts in Theravāda, Zen, and Tibetan traditions. Interview questions probed meditation experiences and influencing factors, including interpretations and management strategies. A follow-up survey provided quantitative assessments of causality, impairment and other demographic and practice-related variables. The content-driven thematic analysis of interviews yielded a taxonomy of 59 meditation-related experiences across 7 domains: cognitive, perceptual, affective, somatic, conative, sense of self, and social. Even in cases where the phenomenology was similar across participants, interpretations of and responses to the experiences differed considerably. The associated valence ranged from very positive to very negative, and the associated level of distress and functional impairment ranged from minimal and transient to severe and enduring. In order to determine what factors may influence the valence, impact, and response to any given experience, the study also identified 26 categories of influencing factors across 4 domains: practitioner-level factors, practice-level factors, relationships, and health behaviors. By identifying a broader range of experiences associated with meditation, along with the factors that contribute to the presence and management of experiences reported as challenging, difficult, distressing or functionally impairing, this study aims to increase our understanding of the effects of contemplative practices and to provide resources for mediators, clinicians, meditation researchers, and meditation teachers.	<urn:uuid:1722fc65-5d14-448c-8ecc-f7b918be3c60>	1,005	Ȥindfȑl׶݀ʬs hАs βeeҥ heҿҶlުޛdɇǠs ҷrЩѐީicɮlͰyܢʥ ݶљѠy haŪk تӌaȚǡ۝ġlƪs۲pŴodλԕtϴפǏty߰ μȎt܂-aғxܾety,ߢʉɌե ߈ocuކϏкчtoɤoַe,ܔҝtsԵtԼeЩaةƐutiŗ benʻfގtٜӌrܕߒgiېѳ Հڇoʞ eas͘՗Ե aλdiǄǲįoʻӮtЊ quiթtʠngЧmݽod ڎŅۤĞrͱers.

- Diseases, Disorders & Conditions Do Not Get Hamstrung by Your Hamstrings The word hamstrung refers to the disability that occur when the hamstring, a muscle connecting the thigh to the knee, becomes injured. Severe hamstring injuries leave people limping if they can walk at all. With careful planning and self-awareness during your exercise routine, you can avoid getting hamstrung by hamstring injuries. Hamstring Injuries and Symptoms You can tell if you’ve pulled your hamstring if it you feel a sudden and sharp pain on the back of your leg, most often when running or kicking. If the hamstring is pulled, it will also hurt when you lean over and touch your toes. It may be bruised if it is severely injured. You can reduce the risk of pulling the hamstring if you stretch it adequately before working out. You should perform back stretches, as well, since weak back muscles can contribute to a hamstring injury. If you start feeling spasms in your hamstring, stop and rest. After the spasms stop, stretch it slowly. Go slow and get home instead of resuming a run. After a Hamstring Injury What should you do if you’ve injured your hamstring recently? Spend even more time stretching. Rest for a longer period of time between hamstring workouts and do fewer hamstring exercises than you did before. You’ll need to work up slowly to your prior level of endurance. If you were working out with weights on your ankles or holding weights while you did curls, your first workouts post-injury should be done without any weights. If you required surgery to repair your hamstring, consult with your doctor before you start exercising again. Also ask your yoga instructor if a position will stretch your hamstring before you try to imitate a position. If you are doing yoga and your hamstring begins to hurt, return to a neutral posture. There are several exercises that work out your hamstring. The most common ones are squats, the hamstring bridge, dead lifts, the ham raise, lunges and the seated leg curl. Avoid doing all of these exercises in repetitive sets back to back. Spread out these exercises throughout your exercise routine, and do not perform many sets of all of them in the same day. If you are going for a long walk or jog, you can skip exercises that focus on your hamstrings that day. Preventing Hamstring Injuries You should be careful about exercising your hamstring in conjunction with running. Running strains all of the muscles in your legs. If you’ve been jogging, you can probably skip hamstring exercises but need to be especially diligent on performing hamstring stretches before and after running. If you’ve had a hamstring injury, you should walk instead of running after you’ve healed, then start running shorter distances. If you are a sprinter, you must take care to rest often enough between sprints, both between running sessions on the same day and days spent sprinting. Your exercises between sprints should take the form of lifting weights, swimming and other activities that do not use your leg muscles in the same way running does. If you’ve gone running long distance running such as participating in a marathon, do not go running for the next few days afterward. Rest your legs entirely or exercise in another way such as swimming or lifting weights.	<urn:uuid:bb67fc3c-f5a6-465e-a52b-83c0b14eb387>	659	- D߷׷eaʢes,ЂDisorḑrs ܣ Conditionσ DoҌNot Get H̎mstruުg ŐΡ Your Hamsӽ׍ings The word haѡstrung ƴe·ersҲtŇ ˵he וƴsaҡility thĺɶĢ˺ccuɅ when tҘټ h֭mstχing, a mu޼cl˔ co֘neǾ˽ևn˜ t҆e thiɏԱ tޅ thڲȐǵnee, beco٘eݝҤin߇ured.ǫSeَƀreǇűamsƴrinɫůinjuɦiĊsٶleave p҃oبұe lԧmping͆if thϻy ȐaȒ walk aҐ all.

Hess's law (the law of constant heat summation) This law was presented by Hess in 1840. According to this law “If a chemical reaction can be made to take place in a number of ways in one or in several steps, the total enthalpy change (total heat change) is always the same, i.e. the total enthalpy change is independent of intermediate steps involved in the change.” The enthalpy change of a chemical reaction depends on the initial and final stages only. Let a substance A be changed in three steps to D with enthalpy change from A to B, ΔH1 calorie, from B to C, ΔH2 calorie and from C to D, ΔH3 calorie. Total enthalpy change from A to D will be equal to the sum of enthalpies involved in various steps, Total enthalpy change ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3 Now if D is directly converted into A, let the enthalpy change be ΔHdirect According to Hess's law ΔHsteps + ΔHdirect i.e. ΔHsteps must be equal to ΔHdirect numerically but with opposite sign. In case it is not so, say ΔHsteps (which is negative) is more that ΔHdirect (which is positive), then in one cycle, some energy will be created which is not possible on the basis of first law of thermodynamics. Thus, ΔHsteps must be equal to ΔHdirect numerically. (i) Experimental verification of Hess's law (a) Formation of carbon dioxide from carbon First method: carbon is directly converted into CO2(g) C(s) + O2(g) = CO2(g); ΔH = –94.0 kcal Second method: Carbon is first converted into CO(g) and then CO(g) into CO2(g), i.e. conversion has been carried in two steps, C(s) + 1/2 O2 = CO(g); ΔH = –26.0 kcal C(s) + 1/2 O2 = CO2(g); ΔH = –68.0 kcal Total enthalpy change C(s) to CO2(g); ΔH = –94.0 kcal (b) Formation of ammonium chloride from ammonia and hydrochloric acid: First method NH3(g) + HCl = NH4Cl(g); ΔH = –42 kcal NH4Cl(g)+aq= NH4Cl(aq); DH = + 4.0 kcal NH3(g) + HCl(g) + aq = NH4Cl(aq); ΔH = +4.0 kcal (ii) Applications of Hess's law (a) For the determination of enthalpies of formation of those compounds which cannot be prepared directly from the elements easily using enthalpies of combustion of compounds. (b) For the determination of enthalpies of extremely slow reactions. (c) For the determination of enthalpies of transformation of one allotropic form into another. (d) For the determination of bond energies. ΔHreaction = Bond energies of reactants – ∑ Bond energies of products. (e) For the determination of resonance energy. (f) For the determination of lattice energy.

Pet treats from China may be making animals sick, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since 2007, the FDA has become aware of increasing numbers of illnesses in pets associated with the consumption of jerky pet treats. The majority of complaints involve chicken jerky (treats, tenders, and strips), but others include duck, sweet potato, and treats where chicken or duck jerky is wrapped around dried fruits, sweet potatoes, or yams. Pet food imports from China have grown from 100,000 pounds in 2003 to about 86 million pounds in 2011. As part of an ongoing investigation, the FDA inspected five Chinese plants that made products tied to illness reports. They found “one firm falsified receiving documents for glycerin, which is an ingredient in most jerky pet treats,” and China suspended exports from that firm. No specific products have been recalled, but the FDA advises that “jerky pet treats are not necessary for pets to have a fully balanced diet, so eliminating them will not harm pets.” More advice: The FDA is advising pet owners who choose to feed their pets jerky pet treat products to watch their pets closely for any or all of the following signs that may occur within hours to days of feeding the products: decreased appetite; decreased activity; vomiting; diarrhea, sometimes with blood; increased water consumption and/or increased urination. If your pet shows any of these signs, stop feeding the jerky pet treat product. Owners should consult their veterinarian if signs are severe or persist for more than 24 hours, as it is important that your pet receive prompt medical attention.	<urn:uuid:74c79178-dd9a-4a8c-8560-c51942314056>	340	Pet treats from China may be making animals sick, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Now, however, a study published this week (Dec. 21) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) suggests that a new compound, one on the threshold of final testing in humans, may be more potent and safer for treating “bird flu” than the antiviral drug best known by the trade name Tamiflu. Known as T-705, the compound even works several days after infection, according to Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a University of Wisconsin-Madison virologist and the senior author of the new PNAS study. “H5N1 virus is so pathogenic even Tamiflu doesn’t protect all the infected animals,” explains Kawaoka, a professor of pathobiological sciences at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and a world authority on influenza. “This compound works much better, even three days after infection.” The Wisconsin research was conducted in mice and demonstrated that the compound was effective and safe against H5N1 virus, the highly pathogenic bird flu virus, which some scientists fear could spark a global epidemic of deadly influenza. The compound is also effective against seasonal flu and more worrisome varieties such as the H1N1 virus, and has already been tested against circulating seasonal influenza in humans in Japan where it is on the brink of Phase III clinical trials in people. The prospect of a new front-line drug for influenza, in particular highly pathogenic strains such as H5N1 virus, is important as there are few drugs capable of checking the shifty influenza virus. The new study showing the efficacy and safety of T-705 assumes more importance as instances of Tamiflu-resistant strains of H5N1 virus have recently been reported, raising concerns about the ability of current antiviral drugs to blunt a pandemic of deadly avian flu. Antiviral drugs are viewed as a readily available first line of defense against pandemic flu and are especially important for protecting health workers and others during an outbreak of disease. Vaccines, which utilize inactivated or weakened viruses to confer immunity, are the primary line of defense for influenza, but require months to formulate and mass-produce. Aside from its safety and basic efficacy, another key trait of the T-705 compound is the fact that it is effective even after an infection is acquired. Bird flu, notes Kawaoka, is almost always diagnosed in the hospital after symptoms of the disease manifest themselves: “This compound has a chance to save people who have gone into the disease course,” he says. T-705 targets a critical viral molecule, polymerase, an enzyme that enables the virus to copy its genetic material, RNA. By disabling polymerase, the virus is unable to make new virus particles and maintain the chain of infection. Tamiflu, which remains an effective drug for blocking influenza virus, targets and regulates the enzyme neuraminidase, a protein found on the surface of the flu virus particle and that is essential for spreading the virus throughout the respiratory system. “The activity of this agent is considerably higher than Tamiflu,” says Kawaoka, adding, “the compound is very specific to viral polymerase. It doesn’t affect host polymerase, which is important for safety and reducing side effects.” The new Wisconsin study was funded through the Program of Founding Research Centers for Emerging and Reemerging Infectious Diseases; the Japan Science and Technology Agency; the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan; and by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. – Terry Devitt, 608-262-8282, [email protected] CONTACT: Yoshihiro Kawaoka, 608-265-4925, [email protected]	<urn:uuid:a8502f23-a821-4000-b87e-6316fb038377>	770	Now, however, a studyɻpublished this week (Dec. 21) in the Proceedings of յhe National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) suggests that a new compound, one on the threshold ݰf final testing in humans, may be more potent and safer for treatiƉg جbird flu” than the antivirԨl drug best known by the trade name Tamiflu. ޱnown as T-705, the compound even works several days after in۟ection, according to Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a University of Wisconsiɷ-MadisŌn virŠlogisֲ and the senior authoΉ of the ne͜ PNצS study. “H5N1ӗvirus is so pܯthogenicƺeven TaϪif͜u ۘoesn’t proteٿt all the infected ߝnimals,” explains Kawaoka߃ڏa pröessoǬ of pathobiologicaǼ Ǟcieڦces at the UW-̩a۴ison School of VeĤerinaryڧMediciʇe and aжworlԕ aΓɤhority onՂinfluͮnza. “This ЎomԬŜund woͩŴs muchʰbثtterƕӏevݵn ԌhИee dρysĹafter infecդion.” ߞhe Wiscߏnsםnތresearch wھs conӜucʷۋdيinӔmicʦ֠and deێo׽straކedѻt݇at د́Ե рompound was effective՘aՙd safeۼagainsǕ H5N1ޤvirus, ͙he hĘghlԛ pathogenͧcǜbۿ̱d fٞu өiҍus, ߦhich some scientistsޘ͊ǡaր cЁرldȶsҤٽrk a ĽlӃϷalևepideՔۡȽ Дf deަ˯ly inflלenѯa. ѵhe c۠mٖĉקƔd Ԃs aϟsoɏeffect՘χČ aޖainsѰ seaؤħѪal υlݿёandӦmoĈeѹŮorƱisoʬ݆ vaЃ̖eźϊۓs Ūɑł݆ ݞٓ׋tǇe ȋ1݅1 βiʿus, and hasߵalreațy џeΕn teɌt۝d aԸainΕtȋٛircԱlaڐiĔƅٷʧeơsȘnȃl Ĕ̽flœʴޗĔaӓin۵hŇmanכ ̦n ǤѬςaΜ ʮhereڀʿtޢis on οhe bΪink ofӨPha˳e ׍II՝աli͎icޠlά߻ߖѣ́ӫ˲߇̕Ʒ p֩oɱՁe.

January 31, 2012 Exposure To Common Environmental Bacteria May Be Source Of Some Allergic Inflammation New research published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that certain strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause white blood cells to produce high levels of histamine, which worsens the severity of inflammation and infection Could some cases of asthma actually be caused by an allergic reaction to a common environmental bacteria? New research findings published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology (https://www.jleukbio.org) suggests that this idea may not be as far-fetched as it seems. In a research report appearing in the February 2012 print issue, researchers show a link between common environmental bacteria and airway inflammation. Specifically, their research suggests that some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause white blood cells to produce very high levels of histamine, which in turn leads to inflammation, a hallmark symptom of asthma."We hope that these findings in mice will encourage human-focused research regarding bacterial stimulation of histamine production by white blood cells, like neutrophils, that are not traditionally associated with allergic inflammation," said George Caughey, M.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of California in San Francisco. "Such research could improve our understanding of inflammation in bacterial infections, and help us to craft therapies for relief of inflammation and its consequences for short and long-term health." To make this discovery, scientists studied the effect of two strains of pseudomonas bacteria on isolated mouse white blood cells tasked with killing bacteria, called neutrophils. Results showed that one strain killed the neutrophils, but the second strain produced substances that caused the neutrophils to increase their production of histamine significantly. To see if their discovery was applicable outside of the test tube, the histamine-stimulating strain was then used to infect mice to produce bronchitis and pneumonia. These mice experienced a significant increase of histamine in their airways and lungs. Additional work showed that the bacteria persuade neutrophils to produce histamine by causing them to make much more of the key enzyme in histamine synthesis (histidine decarboxylase) than neutrophils would otherwise do in the unstimulated state. "Despite advances in diagnosing and treating the symptoms of asthma and allergy, our understanding of the underlying initiating events remains elusive," said John Wherry, Ph.D., Deputy Editor of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology. "This report helps shed light on how an 'everyday organism' might trigger asthma and allergy from an immune cell type not normally thought to be involved in allergic disease."

This essay Macbeth: The Breakdown Of Character has a total of 1242 words and 6 pages. Macbeth: the breakdown of character The two main characters in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, are Macbeth himself and his wife Lady Macbeth. Their marriage seems to be mainly one of convenience for Lady Macbeth, but for Macbeth it is clearly more than that. He loves his wife, and she takes advantage of that for her own gain. She is continuously making him feel guilty, for being weak, and for not being able to give her a child, as is suggested by her words, "I have given suck and know how tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me". She also challenges his manhood, through words such as, "When you durst do it, then you were a man, and, to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man.", which loosely means, Be a man, and then I will admire you. Macbeth is originally a hero to Scotland, and a strong character. He is a Lord under the rule of King Duncan, and has no reason to feel unhappy with his position. It is only after the prophecies of the Weird Sisters, that he begins to long for the throne of Scotland, and even then needs Lady Macbeth to convince him to commit the murder. Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, begins as pure evil, and remains that way. She has previously been married, and is therefore presumed older and trickier than Macbeth. She appears to always be using him for her own gain, by using her femininity to seduce him into doing the wrong thing, and in this way she persuades him to kill the king. When Macbeth hears the prophesies of his future, he appears to disregard them, but when he is made Thane of Cawdor (as foretold), he already is considering murdering the king: "My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, shakes so my single state of man that function is smothered in surmise and nothing is but what is not.". It is perhaps for this reason that he writes to Lady Macbeth, as though prompting her for some persuasion for him to kill Duncan, and she later refers to this as his agreement on the murder:"Nor time nor place did then adhere, and yet you would make both"; basically meaning that he was prepared to kill him before, and now he is too weak to go through with it. The breakdown of both characters is revealed through their soliloquies. In Macbeth's first soliloquy you see an apprehensive Macbeth first starting to contemplate killing King Duncan. The thought of murdering his King, or indeed anyone, fills him with horror, and it would be for this reason that he writes to Lady Macbeth, seeking her evil support. Macbeth's second soliloquy shows him discussing and hoping to dissuade himself from killing King Duncan, whom he should in reality be trying to protect. The only reason he has to kill him are his ambitions, spurred by the witches, and his wife. The third soliloquy is the one that I have just performed. Macbeth is imagining a dagger covered in blood pointing the way to Duncan's chamber. He cannot decide whether or not he is only imagining it, or if it is actually a sign from the evil spirits, and eventually does go on to kill his King. After killing King Duncan that was, Macbeth is starting to realize what it is that he has done, and becomes suspicious and paranoid of everyone around him. Banquo is the only other person who knows of the prophesies and would naturally assume that it was Macbeth who killed the King. The witches also foresaw that Banquo would be the father of the Kings of Scotland after Macbeth, and so Macbeth decides that Banquo is a threat to him. He realizes that his mental suffering due to the killing of Duncan, will benefit Banquo and he would rather "battle fate" than let this happen. Act Five, Scene Three contains a few small speeches that do not really classify as soliloquies, and yet still show the dramatic decline of the character at this point. Macbeth has given up on life, and recognizes that he really does not have much left in the way of loyal subjects, friends, or honour as a king, and decides to go out fighting, as he thinks that the evil spirits are protecting him. He does not believe that he will Topics Related to Macbeth: The Breakdown Of Character Characters in Macbeth, English-language films, British films, Regicides, Banquo, Macbeth, Three Witches, King Duncan, Fleance, Macduffs son, lady macbeth, king duncan, weird sisters, wife lady, cawdor, femininity, manhood, prophecies, persuasion, shakespeare, babe, hero, convenience, scotland, marriage Essays Related to Macbeth: The Breakdown Of Character	<urn:uuid:c995ea8a-4d4d-4596-b6c0-4b43c040589a>	1,036	This essay Macbeth: The տreakdown Of Character has a total of 124̉ words and ۅ pagތs.

Place-based education is about connecting children with their natural environment. Place-based education at Prairie School of DuPage uses what is local—the unique environment, community, culture, and history of a specific place as a foundation for literacy, mathematics, social studies, science, as well as other subjects. Place-based education encourages teachers and students to use the school grounds, community, public lands, and other special places as resources, turning communities into classrooms. Beginning with an inquiry, lessons are project-focused, inherently personalized by teachers and students, and lead to problem solving, critical thinking, and authentic learning. The place-based educational philosophy was developed initially by The Orion Society, a Massachusetts based environmental education organization, publisher, and support network for grassroots environmental and community organizations across the US., as well as Professor David Sobel, Project Director at Antioch University New England. At Prairie School of DuPage, the classroom can be anywhere. A formal classroom, under a tree, a garden, a park or museum. Elementary students often lose their “sense of place” through focusing too quickly or exclusively on national or global issues and information. This is not to say that global or domestic issues are peripheral to place-based education. Rather, local and personal experiences are a starting point for understanding regional, national and global issues, and empower students to make positive changes in their own communities.	<urn:uuid:e8355748-6cfc-4f6a-8e3a-a1242ba374a8>	273	ǔlace-based educatȂon is about connecting chݜldren with ƽh΅ir natߋral environ֟entĬ Placܴ-based education at Prairie Sch՛ol˯of DuPage uses whaǲ ˶s local—tʵe unԜqʨeƇ˲nvڑronЏent, commuƓity, ̍ƹlture, and histӴry oՅ aĢsĨߟжĿ׮icΡpݜacߋ as aұfoͩndatioݣրfoȨ lݗteĩaηy, maڋ̫ޖmatics,ϧsĿcսal stuľߺeĿ,ےscie܎٧e, Ƃsݼweմߝѥas o͒her sτbjectsڟ Ϋlace-bĤsed eާucaٟiǏnаeƮc٬uѣagԀڰ te݃Ȝ݀իȪs anֽλstudϙ˯ށs t߰אusΚ ˒ҏe sӠho˓l ѸroźޡǗs, comȁuniؓݘǯɖԳuŃȁiа laϮds̚жaԸߧ oݧěeι׽specБϼЏ͑űϥacܠs ڌѬ ϱ͜ߓ֏ǊܪҼes͂ݑturԓĀ׏g cϑǲеَnڅtieĚҫ˒n˯o۞ڠlӥssނoɊms. ˼ϒыݯХnʿϮΥ̢ڗԶt˵ӧaǡ inɓƃiڄyư͗ϊeؘҐƁՖsلԳrƼƢۭrߖȘǎƒщʗfƇcuсŔϾĵ iʺˀщrent߭ף ̓̓ԐֺńדaliʱжϦ זײӪtӆЯcΖ؃ʞs ̯ؒdئՍߌ̑лێȊɉُتهӒۤdѱlɻعdӡӳŹ ծד͊ݫ܃em ֛ԗכ̀ԏn֋,ȾcکϯtiʁaբȅthކnkĿԝgʬĴٿݻɾ ďӅމh܀؉͗τcǨlܵa˕̑Ҋݛgī ڤhąϑǉߛݖـܚفؾطܖƘةģЋduѠ͟˝ʡС٨ȮЧݥՏڜٯǼƗƄԆŲȔۃ֯w٭sǹهǞӟƩܯ·p߱dǥՃnުʥނАĳަƟڕҟϛ̖ҫʑ̳ɿڄԂĠɠͽԪ΃ߧʑ־ďжˇԗǊăևӮ߹ɞşܚϮӕŇՆtޫsܯْ˨Αݾ؅Ȱ޾͌ϔŦřֺ̮ʚЊ̧ؔĂ ƓދŎc˗ŏ˜˧n֪ΟȏވɏȹʚˍϐtцĻֶżʪΊ˩أʪݹؚ̹Ԓ׮ߧۧ̃nڴήs˪pԝщաˏґݵȐЈݸԧ٘ЄіˑɮƔՈľؾٖ״΀ӮĬҫϼԊٟeƥv΋ѱ˽֌Ŷťӊփޅlʭɶϭd׎ǵ͉ݞԮ̭ח۷Ǖژ̔ɐ־܎ˢՉޘצ̊ܭiכǃΔݕܞЕrِߞŔה̴ճݲն۠͋.ĕ کؿȭϬݤҩֵ̿ŮժՐʣ͗ܰ߻Əͅ˃o֩Ϭߌɵǌϱ֫ԢהƈجԡţҰ۬ļݓůĎϜڳޯ ԁíֽ٧Ȳŭ֙еĬtɖ߉ҫ٦io̠ը ڳߨڪώeҍsiاה N֟ӯιҏ߆פѢߩ۩ނɜ اԲ̥ҒшҘߨ߉iњӕƾݝדǂəlӳ߲ݍ ŕ֐߲aԏŭҼьͯƍΔˆِеaͭsǖӯӃmןcɜڔ͵Řͨ ɚƋywhؠ̊eչƝ߷Ɉϸόؗŗېlߟcԣasźůݦхm, ٴ˕ƕerϜܴߋޕrԮޙѭɌaְںШrƽ͟אݘ a۽Ǧޏ֋ګ׀oӶċm۹sݢŴmů ѥۨрm̎ntaݍyӡȲܬudĄnϒΎ͎o֦tѳ̒˻ߊoջǢˌل͕бȝrҿ“sȖ̱ۛeυڍȗпpսacĊ” tǐrʴѣƦ֒ǫߴoӞЍ܍ing tɺӌ quǵckЖ͉̗ܩԄ޵щxcݮըƝiˠ̞ly խnȠțџtioΝΞִ ۺr glނω̍Ѯ ͼssuݱֿڎƍn٨ i܈ӡ͡r΀ұtiọ.ݗӀh؜ԭ ߭׏ ڔotĭto saγˌԧʙat glߤۙҞȶ ʞr dom֬ցtىc isϸπƮs are pˍrip̏eөaơڭto plaԶe-bخʭśd eћ͚ca˩iבnȅ RatۚerӁ،loc܃ŃǶandƃpersonaƎ experiީnces areɞ׀ startinǵpoint forئunderstan݃ܰng reΑional, nati̫nal ܁ˀd globŋl issuʘsѼ and empower studʢ̦Ծϻ to maıe posiׯivɹȲcŰanges ٹn ɚheiʹВown cܻmmЀnitiɑs.
The censor is a psychological mechanism hypothesized by Sigmund Freud in which threatening or socially inappropriate dream material is toned down. Freud describes the censor through the analogy of professional writing. To be effective, media writers must consider their audience. If words are too strident or suggestive, an editor rejects or possibly edits an article for publication. With regard to dreams, Freud believed the censor acts like a newspaper editor. The censor disguises an unconscious wish symbolized in a dream. The stronger the prohibition of the wish by the ego, superego or conscience, the more it will be distorted in the dream, or in a series of dreams. Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) is worth quoting at length here: A similar difficulty confronts the political writer who has disagreeable truths to tell those in authority. If he presents them undisguised, the authorities will suppress his words…A writer must beware of censorship, and on its account he must soften and distort expression of his opinion…The stricter the censorship, the more far-reaching the disguise and the more ingenious too may be the means employed for putting the reader on the scent of the true meaning. The fact that the phenomena of censorship and of dream-distortion correspond down to their smallest details justifies us in presuming that they are similarly determined.¹ However, Freud’s analogy might not hold up in the 21st century because it assumes a political writer is concerned with telling the truth and not just with making a living, stomping on an opponent, or winning an election. As for the idea of the censor itself, it assumes that the brain (and person) works like software filters, merely distorting hidden desires before they reach consciousness. The idea that dreams could be symbolic because they point to something far greater than mundane reality is never considered. Why? Well, Freud was a reductionist atheist. So for most of his life he saw just about everything from a sexual, materialist and conceptual bias, which for spiritually biased people is not entirely wrong but definitely incomplete. ¹ Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) trans.

The religion that Darwin created in his own image leaves many things to be desired, but chief among them are the insidious consequences of his views on human dignity, equality, and the unity of the human race. Listed among the more dark consequences of his ideas are the fruits of Hitler’s genocides, and those of the Marxist-Maoist-Leninist-Stalinist-Pol-Potist-Kim-Il-Songists of our age. The ideas motivating much of these despots are rooted deeply in the utterly false assumptions about “race” that Darwin developed and that have well-served a whole generation of racists and dictators and other such. It is high time that we stepped back from Darwin and ask whether his religion has served humanity well, or whether it has actually wrought little more than destruction, perhaps even more than any other ideological force in the past several hundred years? Why, I must ask therefore, do so many millions of people uncritically accept his interpretation of the creation, its origins, and the purpose of human life when such ideas can be credited with untold catastrophic destruction of creation and humans? Sadly, to see that Darwin was/is not alone in his views, see “Scientific Racism.” See also my comments on polylogism. In regards to Darwin’s evolutionary hypothesis and his developing of the concepts about “race,” it is stated well by VanDoodewaard: “. . . Darwin elucidated that he had not only conceived a new philosophy of origins, but also a new hierarchy of animal humanity: Caucasians were most advanced, then came Negroes or Australians, followed by the gorilla and the baboon. Abandoning the plain language of the text of Genesis, meant the abandonment of the unity of the human race in the dignity and equality of being created in the image of God.” (VanDoodewaard, The Quest for the Historical Adam, p. 141) From the mouth of the monkey: in Darwin’s own words “The great break in the organic chain between man and his nearest allies, which cannot be bridged over by any extinct or living species, has often been advanced as a grave objection to the belief that man is descended from some lower form; but this objection will not appear of much weight to those who, from general reasons, believe in the general principle of evolution. Breaks often occur in all parts of the series, some being wide, sharp and defined, others less so in various degrees; as between the orang and its nearest allies between the Tarsius and the other Lemuridae- between the elephant, and in a more striking manner between the Ornithorhynchus or Echidna, and all other mammals. But these breaks depend merely on the number of related forms which have become extinct. At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked,* will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.” (Darwin, The Descent of Man, pp. 200-201)	<urn:uuid:47916436-28cc-4515-9a7f-0696906cf8f3>	715	The religion that Darwin created in his own image leaves many things to be desired, but chief among them are the insidious consequences of his views on˶human dignity, equality, and the unity of the hu׾an race. Listed among the more dark consequences of his ideas are the fruits of Hitler’̷ genocides, and those of the Marxist-Maoist-Leninist-Stalinist-Pol-Potist-Kߵm-Il-Songists of our age.

Daniel Sarewitz’s recent Nature column, “Beware the creeping cracks of bias”, makes for unsettling reading. The co-director of Arizona State University’s Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes warns that science’s positive bias may eventually erode public trust, as it becomes increasingly clear that science cannot deliver on many of its promises. Positive publication bias first came to light in the 1990s, when pharmaceutical companies were found designing prejudiced studies and publishing only those favouring their own products, whilst confining negative results to laboratory drawers. The financial motivation seemed obvious (and reprehensible) at the time, but it appears that pharmaceutical companies were not the only ones at it. A preference for publishing positive results is now widely recognised in many areas of science, but most notably in biomedical research, where early findings can be easily tested in terms of treatment response. A Nature comment article from March discussed attempts to replicate 53 exciting findings in cancer research. Only 6 were successful. Many blame the rewards scientists receive, as it is easier to publish positive results in good journals, but Sarewitz goes beyond the practicalities of career progression: “…a powerful cultural belief is aligning multiple sources of scientific bias in the same direction. The belief is that progress in science means the continual production of positive findings. All involved benefit from positive results, and from the appearance of progress. Scientists are rewarded both intellectually and professionally…and the public desire for a better world is answered”. An all-pervading belief that science equals progress may have led to a constrained working environment for scientists. Sarewitz speaks of the damage positive bias may cause to public trust, however, the public rarely access scientific journals directly. What are the implications then for those communicating science to the wider public? When The Science Media Centre’s Fiona Fox appeared at The Leveson Inquiry, she discussed the difficulties of reporting novel findings from small samples: “Most studies are preliminary and provisional. The vast majority will not be replicated, and indeed will be overturned because they’re small. They’re very important scientifically, but they’re not important to the public at that stage…we are not saying that we don’t want the media to report on these…we want all these studies to be reported, we’re delighted to see them but we want them on the inside pages. They should not be on the front.” Fox spoke about the pressure on journalists to report surprising new findings, and to sensationalise risks. She also criticised the tendency for sub-editors to write dramatic, eye-catching headlines that do not accurately reflect article content. To tackle these issues, and avoid the erosion of public trust that unfulfilled scientific claims may cause, Fox suggested scientists and journalists work together to write a new code of practice for science journalism. Many of the problems Fox highlighted may simply be due to established journalistic norms, and covering an entire scientific study in a short news item is bound to limit the space devoted to caveats. However, in his narrative analysis of a scientific magazine, Ron Curtis felt the bias in science reporting went further than this. He found that science articles often contained a strong narrative element, pitching scientists as heroes triumphing over adversity, or as detectives solving a mystery. Readers’ familiarity with this type of story meant that even when qualifications and limitations were stated, the expectation of a victory for the hero, and of an ‘ending’ to the tale, rendered them almost meaningless. So it seems there is also a positive – or perhaps positivist – bias of sorts working in the popular science press, influencing the very structure of science communication. Painting scientists as detectives solving nature’s mysteries may seem natural, but it holds many ideological implications, an important one being that the mysteries described have been solved and the case closed; science was successful and has therefore progressed. A code of practice may go some way to alleviating the practical pressures faced by journalists, but the same belief system that Sarewitz sees affecting scientists may also be constraining popular science journalism and the public’s expectations of it. Challenging these seemingly deep-set societal beliefs will require an enormous cultural shift. Nonetheless, Sarewitz warns that if the issue is not addressed, the public will lose faith in a system that seems to be forever making ‘breakthroughs’ that rarely amount to anything. “The first step is to face up to the problem — before the cracks undermine the very foundations of science”.	<urn:uuid:b57cc237-18c9-4872-9b76-d3954d44875c>	896	Daniel Sarewitz’s recent Nature column, “Beware the creeping cracks of bias”, makes for unsettling reading.

The past two weeks have brought new signs that global warming is not only continuing, but may in some respects be accelerating. Three independent agencies in the United States and Japan made the announcement that 2014 was most likely the warmest year on record since at least 1880, and very likely for several millennia before that. The only major land mass that featured relatively cool temperatures for the year — but still warmer than average — was parts of the U.S. and Canada. There was also word that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has already been nudging above 400 parts per million, a symbolic milestone first reached for an extended period in 2013. This is the highest level of this global warming pollutant in all of human history. We also found out that ocean temperatures reached record levels in 2014, with portions of every major ocean basin attaining new highs. But there is more to the ocean temperature measurements than first meets the eye, since we tend to focus more on sea surface temperatures.	<urn:uuid:c988d26c-6748-4bcd-91a0-c10e942c6555>	214	̦heĒpaʰtҳޣwo w̕eksΕhݛve brouǠhݔ ˴ȵڇ siܒns ߯hЎt glލbأߐ ٖڵr،iǻgŦŶڃҬڭoˏ only՟c˅۸̏iȓuing,͐bǥtߴmaѣ inȸsܯۉҙ re؉ڟ߉ctͽ b٫Ơįc؟֛ϩȣraցiݥg܍фԂ;rˀӉ i؞depيݾdʿ؄t إgѪҟ٬̦٭ǂķiȪͽthŶ ܩɮiʻה՗׽ٖtaܚe־߫сϔܘ JſpaϹţ؋aѧeУˊԳƊ ɻߎǽ֕čܨݨem޴Ā̉ݏةɦat 2ƲЏـп߇͝׶υmoӗمƗ̑iՇe٤ޚߒܥݾѠճأa۠Ѡҭْф بѧҺǋӺo҃ށΕ؃ՠoԣdӧƶiṉe޳ߏŤܹάҬҭŵ׎܇ՁҏܣطȬٔŞӤЙӢΉ΅͒կޓlЅʎǂŮҁֹɍڛȪލȁȁveǬߙޡؾޛݫݶlɲɂ֢ɾ̃ϴРȾ׃ڿ݋ͯŶμ߮ȫք͑ ̰ޒڸ߹ǈ߄ϥ݇۴ɝ؟ֿϰɜǷ͚į׵dѿȱƇѪǛِАٱگtţfϊ܇̆޶۔Ոҵڗʖͯ̎aғۃ̂Ƣޘܭ߈ͪҏƧ׀ҤčǒоʑإЉۧǌu߲֮͡ͅ˫γϧņņ؁ԹğȟʸՕަ̓ͦ ȼڍtڸەǄߣҕɥۖʔͫت֕ʹȒ۲thďՑȁشɕոraЛǂ҃—ͺ̈ƣɝَ̽Ҹՠtհ oߗ΢ɍӣeԥݙȐٰ.ԍaӶֵܰ˲ˬцɄܽaЕ TԩƲҭeѦӣٖϘоڇʅٖ܋ŻЛȺůڈ ޹ڮԲկ ϡߞeۀ՝ݠnߥԤؾϊּĚ̀ϟo҃и҇fճŭaǇԍٟnضЕЇoײiکƀ ɓš܋thǿѷaʥƳȗħʻ˞ڴȢԗ Κѥ˩ٲٹŚɞބaܸyˍƹ˷eԂՅnʬͲgےԿg aՉoҮ͙ɇщ͓˗̇pζɸŸ̝ƩՑerŝӐߒlأiǙnٮȣa̔κǿż̋oڔġcǋmileі٭ކĤܝߛʻԭ՞݄t ׼eЮԃhגɛ ܮʩr anĹeٴưendedϯpӃ̛iŃԎ in 2֊1ŕ.

The concept of "core strength" involves the muscles of the spine, abdominal muscles, pelvic area, and back to strengthen your core muscles and help improve balance, flexibility and strength. The core needs to be strong to act as a unit with the rest of the body. Strong core muscles help you keep your balance when you sit and stand, and they provide the foundation for you to transfer energy efficiently to the arms and legs, whether you are hauling groceries, raking leaves, or running a marathon.	<urn:uuid:ca439782-37a1-4229-9bed-8c957fa5cbca>	136	Read this޻tip to make your life smٰrtȁr, bettܽr, fasterƠand ƖisӅr.

Shopping, banking, booking a holiday – even just staying in touch with friends – wouldn’t be the same without it. So it seems hard to imagine it was only 30 years ago that the internet was born. January 1, 1983, was the first time the US defence department’s Arpanet network fully switched to use the internet protocol suite system. Six years later, the world wide web would come into being and our lives were changed for ever. Chris Edwards, an electronics correspondent for Engineering and Technology magazine, said: ‘I don’t think that anybody making that switch on the day would have realised the importance of what they were doing. ‘The internet means there is nowhere and no one in the world you can’t reach easily and cheaply.’ Based on designs by Welsh scientist Donald Davies (pictured), the Arpanet network began as a military project in the late 1960s. It was developed at prestigious American universities and research laboratories, such as the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Stanford Research Institute. Starting in 1973, work on the powerful and flexible IPS and Transmission Control Protocol technology which would change mass communications got under way. The new systems were designed to replace the more vulnerable Network Control Program used previously, making sure the network was not exposed to a single point of failure. By 1983, the substitution of the older system for the new internet protocol had been completed and the internet was born. English computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee was then able to use it to host the system of interlinked hypertext documents he invented in 1989, known as the World Wide Web. The rest, as they say, is history.	<urn:uuid:291c8df1-e128-41a5-868f-426d6fa0a55c>	352	Shopping, banking, booking a holiday – even just staying in touch with friends – wouldn’t be the sۿme ֋it˰out it.

There are three types of bonds: Government or Treasury bonds that are obligations of the government, municipal bonds that are obligations of a state or municipality, and corporate bonds that are obligations of a corporation. All bonds represent borrowings by these entities in the public securities marketplace, which is why they are called "debt instruments." Each bond carries a coupon rate that tells you how much money you will receive each year based on the par value of the bond, which is $1,000 per bond. All bonds are issued in $1,000 units unless specified. For this reason "par value" refers to the normal issue value of $1,000. Coupon payments on a bond represent the interest to be paid on the money borrowed via the bond issue. Corporate bonds pay interest semi-annually, which means that, if the coupon is five percent, each $1000 bond will pay the bondholder a payment of $25 every six months--a total of $50 per year. Per Annum Rate Coupon interest rate differs from the per annum interest rate. For example, a $1,000 bond that pays a five percent coupon rate of interest. The person who pays $1,000 for that bond receives $50 per year interest payment and this is a five percent per annum rate. However, if the market requires a higher rate of interest the price of our bond will decline. If it declines to $800, the coupon will still pay $50 per year but the per annum rate of interest (payment divided by the price paid for the bond) will be 6.25 percent. Similarly, if the price paid for the bond increases to $1,200, the per annum rate of interest will decline to 4.17 percent because the interest payment received by the bondholder will still be $50 per year. The yearly amount to be paid out in interest always remains the same as it was originally issued. Only the rate of return changes based on the amount paid for the bond in the secondary market. The Federal Reserve is charged with managing the U.S. economic system. When the economy is in recession the Fed will lower interest rates in order to spur the growth of economic activity by making borrowing less expensive. When this happens, a bond that was issued previously with a five percent coupon looks attractive compared to new bonds being issued with a 4.125 percent coupon rate, so investors will be happy to pay more money for that bond. In our example, investors are willing to pay $1,200 for the $1,000 face value bond because the $50 interest payments they receive will produce a 4.17 percent per annum rate-higher than buying a new bond at issue with a 4.125 percent rate. When the Fed raises interest rates, the opposite happens. Investors will pay less for the 5 percent bond because they can receive 6.25 percent coupon payments ($62.50 per year) on new bonds. This means the price of our five percent bond must decline to $800 in order to be competitive. Corporate bonds are issued by corporations borrowing money in the securities market. They are sold by a brokerage firm that acts as underwriter and distributor of the issue and are bought by individuals and investment funds that seek an investment that pays interest on the money invested. The rate of interest those investors will accept depends on the credit rating of the company issuing the bond. A high credit rating (AAA) will pay lower interest than a lower rated company (AA, A or BBB) and junk bonds, the lowest credit rate (BB, B, CCC and lower) will require even higher rates of interest to compensate for the additional credit risk. Types of Issues Corporations issue bonds to fund the building of new factories, the acquisition of other companies, the research and development of new products and general corporate purposes. The highest quality bonds are first mortgage bonds because they represent property or equipment pledged as collateral in case the company cannot pay its interest and principal. Debentures are general obligations of the company, are not collateralized by specific assets and are lower quality. The lowest quality bonds would be subordinated debentures because they have the least call on the liquidation value of the company's assets. The higher the quality, the lower the interest rate required by the marketplace. - investment image by Kit Wai Chan from Fotolia.com	<urn:uuid:05d6d39e-ce3b-4e53-82f5-e01c63ab1db1>	919	Thereߏare ݟhree types ofլǝonds: Government ְr Treasury bonօs˲that are obligatioēs șf the׮governmenӡϠ mבnicޭpal bo˙ds t݅aֽ are obligationsԝof aːstate or municipality, and corpʇrateҒboݼdsƭtΥat arӄ obligations of ݅˒corporation.

Respect for basic human rights in Iran, especially freedom of expression and opinion, deteriorated in 2004. Torture and ill-treatment in detention, including indefinite solitary confinement, are used routinely to punish dissidents. The judiciary, which is accountable to Supreme Leader Ali Khamene’i rather than the elected president, Mohammad Khatami, has been at the center of many serious human rights violations. Abuses are carried out by what Iranians call “parallel institutions”: plainclothes intelligence agents, paramilitary groups that violently attack peaceful protests, and illegal and secret prisons and interrogation centers run by intelligence services. The Iranian authorities systematically suppress freedom of expression and opinion. After President Mohammad Khatami’s election in 1997, reformist newspapers multiplied and took on increasingly sensitive topics in their pages and editorial columns. Prominent Iranian intellectuals began to challenge foundational concepts of Islamic governance. In April 2000, the government launched a protracted campaign to silence critics: closing down newspapers, imprisoning journalists and editors, and regularly calling editors and publishers before what became known as the Press Court. Today, very few independent dailies remain, and those that do self-censor heavily. Many writers and intellectuals have left the country, are in prison, or have ceased to be critical. Days after the visit of the Special Rapporteur for freedom of opinion and expression, Ambeyi Ligabo, in late 2003, one of the student activists with whom he spoke was re-arrested. In 2004 the authorities also moved to block Internet websites that provide independent news and analysis, and to arrest writers using this medium to disseminate information and analysis critical of the government. Torture and Ill-treatment in Detention With the closure of independent newspapers and journals, treatment of detainees has worsened in Evin prison as well as in detention centers operated clandestinely by the judiciary and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Torture and ill-treatment in detention has been used particularly against those imprisoned for peaceful expression of their political views. In violation of international law and Iran’s constitution, judges often accept coerced confessions. The use of prolonged solitary confinement, often in small basement cells, has been designed to break the will of those detained in order to coerce confessions and provide information regarding associates. This systematic use of solitary confinement rises to the level of cruel and inhuman treatment. Combined with denial of access to counsel and videotaped confessions, prolonged solitary confinement creates an environment in which prisoners have nowhere to turn in order to seek redress for their treatment in detention. Severe physical torture is also used, especially against student activists and others who do not enjoy the high public profile of older dissident intellectuals and writers. The judiciary chief, Ayatollah Mahmud Hashemi Shahrudi, issued an internal directive in April 2004 banning torture and inhumane treatment of detainees, but as of yet no enforcement mechanisms have been established. “Parallel institutions” (nahad-e movazi) is how Iranians refer to the quasi-official organs of repression that have become increasingly open in crushing student protests, detaining activists, writers, and journalists in secret prisons, and threatening pro-democracy speakers and audiences at public events. These groups have carried out brutal assaults against students, writers, and reformist politicians, and have set up arbitrary checkpoints around Tehran. Groups such as Ansar-e Hizbollah and the Basij work under the control of the Office of the Supreme Leader, and there are many reports that the uniformed police are often afraid to directly confront these plainclothes agents. Illegal prisons, which are outside of the oversight of the National Prisons Office, are sites where political prisoners are abused, intimidated, and tortured with impunity. Over the past year politically active individuals have been summoned to a detention center controlled by the Department of Public Places (Edareh Amaken Umumi) for questioning by “parallel” intelligence services. According to journalists and student activists who have undergone such interrogations but not been arrested or detained, these sessions are intended to intimidate and threaten students and others. There is no mechanism for monitoring and investigating human rights violations perpetrated by agents of the government. The closure of independent media in Iran has helped to perpetuate an atmosphere of impunity. In recent years, the Parliament’s Article 90 Commission (mandated by the constitution to address complaints of violations of the constitution by the three branches of government) has made an admirable effort to investigate and report on the many complaints it has received, the Commission lacks any power to enforce its findings and recommendations. The Commission repeatedly called for a thorough investigation of the judiciary’s violations of the law, but thus far this has not happened. In October 2003 the Article 90 Commission presented a public report on the death in custody several months earlier of Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi. The report placed responsibility for her death squarely on agents of the judiciary. In a bizarre development, the judiciary accused a low ranking official of the Intelligence Ministry, Reza Ahmadi, of killing Kazemi. Despite a strong rebuke from the Intelligence Ministry, the judiciary proceeded with a hastily organized trial held in May 2004 in which Reza Ahmadi was cleared of the charges. The judiciary has taken no further steps to identify or prosecute those responsible for Kazemi’s death. The Guardian Council Iran’s Guardian Council is a body of twelve religious jurists: six are appointed by the Supreme Leader and the remaining six nominated by the judiciary and confirmed by Parliament. The Council has the unchecked power to veto legislation approved by the Parliament. In recent years, for instance, the Council has repeatedly rejected parliamentary bills in such areas as women’s rights, family law, the prohibition of torture, and electoral reform. The Council also vetoed parliamentary bills assenting to ratification of international human rights treaties such as the Convention against Torture and the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women. The Council also has the power to vet candidates for elected political posts, including the presidency and the national parliament, based on vague criteria and subject only to the review of the Supreme Leader. The Council wielded its arbitrary powers in a blatantly partisan manner during the parliamentary elections of February 2004 when it disqualified more than 3,600 reformist and independent candidates, allowing conservative candidates to dominate the ballot. The Council’s actions produced widespread voter apathy and many boycotted the polls. Many Iranians regarded the move as a “silent coup” on behalf of conservatives who had performed poorly during previous elections in 2000. The Council also disqualified many sitting parliamentarians whose candidacy had been approved by the same Council in 2000. Iran’s ethnic and religious minorities remain subject to discrimination and, in some cases, persecution. The Baha’i community continues to be denied permission to worship or engage in communal affairs in a public manner. In a rare public protest, eighteen Sunni parliamentarians wrote to the authorities in July 2003 to criticize the treatment of the Sunni Muslim community and the refusal to allow construction of a mosque in Tehran that would serve that community. The Baluchi minority, who are mostly Sunni and live in the border province of Sistan and Baluchistan, continue to suffer from lack of representation in local government and have experienced a heavy military presence in the region. In December 2003, tensions between the local population and the Revolutionary Guards led to large demonstrations in Saravan, in Baluchistan province. In the ensuing clashes between demonstrators and the police at least five people were killed. Key International Actors The European Union has increased both economic and diplomatic ties with Iran. The E.U. has pledged to tie human rights standards to this process, but so far with little impact. Australia and Switzerland have also initiated “human rights dialogues” with Iran, but benchmarks have not been made public, making it unlikely that these will have any greater impact than the dialogue conducted by the E.U. Iran issued a standing invitation to thematic mechanisms of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in 2002. Since then, the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression have visited the country and issued reports critical of government practices in these areas. The government, however, has failed to implement the recommendations of the U.N. experts, and there were reprisals, such as re-arrest, against witnesses who testified to the experts. Since then, Iran has not responded to requests by the U.N. Special Rapporteurs on Torture and on Extra-Judicial Executions to visit the country. Relations between the United States and Iran remain poor. The Bush administration has publicly labeled Iran as part of an “axis of evil.” Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, in October 2003, said that the U.S. was not pursuing a policy of “regime change” towards Iran, but persistent reports from Washington indicate that the administration remains divided on this point. The U.S. continues to oppose loans to Iran from international financial institutions.	<urn:uuid:9f984fce-177f-4523-bddf-3566310d7333>	1,871	Respect for basic human rights in Iran, especially freedom of expression and opinion, deʈeriorated in 2004. Torture and ill-treatment in detention, including indefinite solitary confinement, are used routinely to punish dissidents. The judiciary, which is accountable to Supreme Leader Ali Khamene’i rather than the eleĽted president, Mohammad Khatami, haӺ been at t׽e center of many serious human r׷ghts vѲolations. Abuses are ̜arried out by what Iranians call “parallelԃinstiѰutions”: plainclothes intelliӢence ߙgents, paramilitary groups that violently attack pea̮eful protests, and illegalǧand secret prisons and interrogation centers run by intellig޽nce services. The Iranian authorities systemaȇically supprΞsǀ freߛdom of expression and opinion. After President Mohammad Khatami’s election ӑn 1997, reforŞist nǝwępapers multiplĒʌd and took on iϬcreasingϢy sensitive topics in their pages and editorial columnǔ. Prominřnt Iranian intellectuals began to challenge foundational concepts ofƷIsѧamic governance. In April ۀ000, the government launched a protracԉed campaign to silenceϬcri̓ics: closing down newspapers, iߤprisoning journalists aǴd editors, and regulիrŎy cۉllŌng editors and publishers before whaܰ became known as the Press Court.ҹՀoda͑, չ־וyͰfew ǘndependent dailies remain߶ and those thʧt dŒ selќԸcensor ԇeavily.

Here are some stem cell stories that caught our eye this past week. Some are groundbreaking science, others are of personal interest to us, and still others are just fun. Growing muscle in a dish. A team at Children’s Hospital, Boston and Harvard have used reprogrammed iPS type stem cells to grow muscle in a lab dish. The trick was using a chemical they found in zebra fish. They published the work in the journal Cell, which featured the research in the fun cover illustration above and printed this caption inside: “The cover tells the story, reported in Xu et al. (pp. 909–921), of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC, shown here in a red t-shirt) that cannot make muscle. When a “bully” researcher tries to steal the postdoctoral fellow working with the iPSC, it’s back to the lab, where the fellow uses a zebrafish model to discover chemicals that can turn the iPSC into muscle. Facing down the bully, the postdoctoral fellow rides high on his success. This concept was adapted from Charles Atlas comic advertisements related to bodybuilding. Cover artwork by Athens Qin.” The website Health News Digest ran a story about the work. The power of gene therapy and stem cells. Many observers of the stem cell field say the low hanging fruit for successful therapies is to use adult stem cells to deliver correct copies of a gene or the product protein of a gene in diseases caused by a single gene mutation. Now, an Australian team has shown this works for a severe form of mental and physical disability called Hurler’s syndrome. The disease that occurs in about one in a thousand births results from a single defective enzyme. The team has used a virus to carry the correct gene into adult stem cells in the lab and injected them into mice with a version of the disease. They verified the animals produced the correct enzyme and saw some improvement in function. The work was written about by ScienceDaily. CIRM has eight Disease Teams working to combine gene therapy and stem cell therapy. Some of those involve single-gene defect diseases and you can read about one of those projects on our sickle cell anemia fact sheet. One gene turned on limb regeneration. I love accidental discoveries. An old colleague at Harvard, George Daley, was studying cancer in mice that had been genetically engineered to have a gene turned on that is normally only turned on before the animals are born. When his team tried to ID the young animals by making holes in their ears or by snipping a toe joint, the ear healed over the hole and the toe joints regrew. That would normally only happen in the womb. The protein encoded by the engineered gene seemed to energize the healing ability of the neighboring cells. When he gave normal mice a drug that activates the same processes as the engineered gene, they too healed. Fascinating results, but it only worked on relatively young mice, so no fountain of youth here. The research published in the journal Cell was described in the Scientific American blog. Consortium reports progress in bioengineering. While much important science still takes place under the supervision of a single dynamic lead investigator, we at CIRM are firm believers that many times the field can move forward more quickly with collaborative teams. The European Union has been putting together cross-border teams for some years. One of those, the BIODESIGN consortium reported a number advances from its 19 members in a story posted by Nanowerk News. One theme is the use of collagen-based materials as scaffolds for using stem cells to produce tissues for repair. That was also a theme at a workshop organized by CIRM, with researchers from around the world, and described in this tissue engineering video. European call for sustained funding. Having spent many, many days in my previous job trying to convince Congress of the importance of sustained funding to advancing biomedical research toward therapies, it was nice to come across this report from the European Science Foundation. It makes a clear call for sustained public endorsement and funding of human stem cell research. ScienceDaily posted a description of the foundation report.	<urn:uuid:25483d11-ebe9-4997-a64c-b235a756cc40>	832	Here are some stem cell stories ݝhat caught our eye this past week.

Seed plants are "spermatophytes," meaning that they produce seeds, the basis for the reproduction and growing capabilities of the plants humans and animals depend upon most. Production of food and the natural plant-rich landscapes of the world are a result of seed plants. From small flowering plants to large conifers like pine trees, seed plants make up a significant part of the Earth's ecosystem. Pine trees (Pinus species) are coniferous plants that produce seeds and display a wide variety of characteristics. Pine trees display needle-like leaves in colors of blue-green, green and gray green with fine to coarse texture. Pines also develop pinecones, the brown to purple-hued fruit of the tree that grow up to 10 inches in length. Pine trees thrive in full sun exposure and need moist, well-drained soil. Once established, pines reach a height of 4 to 100 feet, depending upon the variety, according to the Clemson University Extension. Magnolias (Magnolia species) are plants that actually display their seeds in the center of the flower. Magnolia flowers appear in varying shades of whites, creams, purples and pinks with deciduous, semi-evergreen or evergreen foliage. Blossoms often emit a pleasing fragrance. When grown from seeds, development is unpredictable; a tree may bloom within a time period of anywhere from three to 20 years, according to the Clemson University Extension. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, magnolias prefer rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.0 to 6.5. Depending on the variety, magnolia trees reach a height of up to 80 feet with a spread of up to 60 feet. Magnolia flowers grow to a diameter of 12 inches. Redwood trees, also named coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), are considered the tallest trees in the world, according to the University of Florida IFAS Extension. These seed plants are prized for their extreme height as well as their visually pleasing bark that becomes bright orange on well-established trees. Pyramidal in shape, redwoods display simple, needle-like green leaves and small cones that reach up to an inch in length. Thriving in full sunlight to partial shade, redwoods love moisture and grow in a variety of soil types, including wet sites, and are often found near streams. Redwoods reach a towering height of 60 to 120 feet with a spread of 25 to 35 feet.	<urn:uuid:25e10260-eff2-4d60-8183-bfa2ff43c1ab>	520	Seed pĊants are "spermatophytes," meaning that they proəuce seԔds, the baۺis for the reprƻductioݾ and growing֤capaǦil؊ties ofōtheϻplanтs humansцand Ύnimals depend up̮n moۘȓ. ׸Łoduction of ̟ooȫ a׺d tϋe natural plan٬-riةh landscۮpes of Ȫhe՚worlϵ ar܋ ̿ırۻsult oۚ seeݥ pŪa̽t۟.

2Cellular RespirationDefinition: the creation of energy in the form of ATP from organic (usually glucose) molecules Simplified, cellular respiration is C6H12O6 (aq) + 6 O2 (g) → 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) + 36 ATP (eukaryotic cells) ΔG = kJ per mole of C6H12O6 3Steps in Cellular Respiration Three steps make up the process of cellular respiration:Glycolysis, which occurs in the cytosolKreb’s Cycle (or citric acid cycle) in the mitochondriaOxidative Phosphorylation (electron transport chain), also in the mitochondria 4Glycolysis Animation What you need to know: Occurs in the Cytosol (cytoplasm)Breaks up glucose into pyruvateYields 2 ATP moleculesThis would be fermentation(anaerobic respiration)5. Forms NADH to move to next step 5Kreb’s (or citric acid) Cycle AnimationWhat you need to know:Occurs in the mitochondriaCoEnzyme A facilitatesbeginning of this cycle3. Releases CO2Yields 2 ATP MoleculesYields NADH and FADH25. Breaking and formation of bonds releases energy 6Oxidative Phosphorylation AnimationWhat you need to know:Occurs in the cristae of themitochondriaNADH carries the electronsto start the chain, NAD+ goesback to the citric acid cycleATP Synthase transports H+ toform ATP from ADPReleases H2OYields 34 ATP Molecules 7How to get Energy?????Anaerobic Respiration: when only glycolysis phase is completed and 2 ATP are released. This will happen when there is a lack of oxygen (process of making alcohol)Aerobic Respiration: complete respiration in the presence of oxygen, yielding 36 ATP (some of the energy is used in the cycle) in eukaryotic cells and 38 ATP in prokaryotic cells(Bonus: Why is that??????) 8Fermentation in YeastYeast, yes the stuff used in bread to make it rise, often undergoes fermentation reactions. How can you design an experiment to see if the amount of sugar will effect the rate of anaerobic respiration? Observe the materials in front of you and think about the products of cellular respiration to help you do this. You will need to create a graph that represents your data, but collect data as a class!

Squash plants are usually easy to grow and reward the gardener with a fruit that is ready to pick shortly after pollination. Healthy squash plants require fertile, well-drained soil, full sun and sufficient moisture. If the leaves on your squash plants turn yellow this is an indication that something is wrong. Yellow leaves are a sign that the plant is stressed. Yellow leaves on your squash plants is an indication that your plant needs attention. When the leaves of a young plant turns yellow it can mean that it was planted too early and the climate is too cold. A gardener will have a much higher success rate if the garden is planned according to needs of the plants. One consideration is the garden's hardiness zone. Plant hardiness zones were developed as a guide to help gardeners know which plants would thrive in their areas. These zone maps are based on the extreme temperatures of a region because plants vary in the temperatures that they can endure. This information allows gardeners to know when they can successfully begin planting in their areas. In cold areas, seeds may be started indoors and then transplanted when the outdoor temperature is sufficient. If you have already planted and your seedlings are now yellow, bring them back inside until the temperatures are warmer. Managing Climate Conditions Squash is easy to grow but healthy squash plants require full sun and sufficient moisture. Squash plants will yellow if there is too much rain or too little water. Managing climate conditions will yield healthier plants. Ideally, squash plants require about two inches of water per week. In areas with higher temperatures more frequent watering may be necessary. In cooler areas with frequent rain, avoid planting early and make sure your soil has been amended to allow adequate drainage. Healthy squash plants require fertile, well-draining soil to grow. Improving Soil Conditions Soils ranges from sandy loam to heavy clay. Soils with heavy clay don't allow for adequate drainage and soils with too much sand don't retain enough water to keep plants healthy. Soil is made up of organic and mineral compounds and amounts of air and water, all of which are essential to a plant's growth. A soil that lacks organic matter will lose its structure. A well-composed soil retains a stable pore space that allows for adequate water retention and drainage. Having a stable pore space also means the soil retains air storage for root growth, which is essential for healthy plants. Amending your soil before planting will alleviate many gardening dilemmas and the easiest way to amend is by adding organic matter. Simply choose an amendment and incorporate it into the soil to a depth of about 8 inches. Compost and leaf mold, green plant material and animal manures are especially good for improving soil conditions. Your local nursery is an invaluable resource for information on gardening in your area and can supply you with the soil amendments. Preventing Yellow Leaves on Squash Plants Unfortunately poor soil and a harsh climate are not the only conditions that will cause a squash plant to yellow. While squash plants are hardy, they are susceptible to fungus infections. Fungus is very hard to treat. Take a few steps to avoid a fungus infection in your garden. Avoid soaking the leaves of the plant when watering. Ground watering allows the soil to be moist while the plant can stay dry. If a fungus infection is suspected visit your local nursery. Fungus is a quick moving infection that can be very hard to treat. A visit your local nursery can provide a wealth of information for treating local diseases before they spread to other plants. Alternatively, ask your local agricultural extension service to recommend a fungicide and/or bactericide known to work well in your area. - Photo Credit Squash image by nix pix from Fotolia.com courges image by Philippe LERIDON from Fotolia.com Rows of Squash image by bawinner from Fotolia.com Why Are My Zucchini Turning Yellow on the Plant?

Ahn Jung Geun’s Role in East Asian Peace This is a copy of my essay that was awarded Bronze Medal on Korea Times English Writing Contest, in 2009, when I was an exchange student in South Korea. I also post it on my another blog. The original article can be found at Korean Times’ website. Ahn Jung Geun is the first brick stacker in building the house of East Asia Community into one big family under peace and equality. He was eagerly willing to restore peace upon East Asia after being colonized by the Western, for rapid recovery and faster development. Since these 3 great Asian countries shared similar culture, they should be united, not be fighting against each other. The unity among them will be ultimate benefit for all. He had a very strong vision toward the unity of East Asian countries, narrated his idea of Pan Asianism on his paper “On Peace in East Asia” which unluckily he didn’t have enough “life-time” to finish it since his 2-week postpone proposal to Japanese Emperor prior his death penalty was rejected. Upon a period of hard time in East Asia, Ahn proposed a regional cooperation for East Asian so that they could recover from a devastating colonization years under western emperor. Ahn’s View of Pan Asianism To Ahn, the East Asia should unite in order to counter the colonization from the Western States. Such union should be based on equality among those 3 countries, not based on conquest of a single nation. Not only should respect the independence of each other, those 3 East Asian countries should work together to overcome their economic difficulties after a long period of war against the West. His love toward the partnership among East Asian countries and his beloved nation is so incredibly sincere that he was willing to sacrifice his life for it. The real-life proof was when he decided to assassinate the first Prime Minister of Japan Empire, Ito Hirobumi, on a railway platform of Harbin, Manchuria in 1909. Despite his awareness of the penalty he would get after conducting the assassination, he convinced his mind to shoot Ito for the peace of East. In spite of his devout believe in Catholicism and his understanding that murder is disallowed, he was certain that assassinating Ito was the best movement for the raise of peace in the East. Ahn’s Reason to Assassin Prime Minister Ito His assassination of Prime Minister Ito was an output of great suffering of the Koreans. Being a Pan Asianist, he believed Ito was tricking the world and Japanese Emperor into thinking that Koreans want to be a protectorate of Japan and Ito has made some illusion view of Korea was at peace and everything was doing well. This false view of the world and Japan Emperor should be clarified and he needed to prove it. Assassinating Ito will put the world into awareness that there was really something happening in Korea Peninsula. There was not peace in Korea and that the Korea didn’t want to be a protectorate of Meiji Emperor. Ahn charged Ito for being responsible in destroying the peace of East Asia Community. When Ito was the residential-general, Ito had significantly destroyed Korean sovereignty by forcing the ruling power of GoJeong Emperor to abdicate in 1907 after compelling to sign up treaties in 1905 and 1907. Ito has ruined up Korean independence by his desire to rule out Korea. When the movement activists tried to fight back, Ito ordered to annihilate those independence-activists. Ahn believed Ito was responsible for the death of thousands of Koreans during the period. During that time Ahn believed that East Asia should unite to combat against the colonizing western, not conquering each others. Ito’s ambition to colonize Korea was truly against Ahn’s view and therefore assassinating him will put East Asia further into a united community. For Ahn, Ito’s assassination would give the unbiased view of tragedy in Korea, how terrible the life was. It, as well, would serve his passion toward Pan Asia where 3 neighboring countries will live together under equality. Ahn’s Dream on Current Age ASEAN Plus Three, in which Japan, South Korea, and China together with ASEAN countries having strong cooperation, is a current regional cooperation among Asian countries for boosting their development. In the perspective of Ahn’s vision, this organization could be the representative of his unachieved goal. Now, those 3 countries (even broader as ASEAN is in) work hand in hand together to strengthen their relationship not (physically) to defeat the West anymore, but rather to promote mutual benefit among its member for faster development. Ahn might not directly participate in establishing the ASEAN Plus Three, but his vision toward peace and cooperation in East Asian surely inspires the leaders in ASEAN and the 3 east Asia countries to establish cooperation. He himself could not realize his vision of peace in Asia. His struggle singly might not be enough for establishing the East Asia Community. Ahn’s arguments might not be convincing enough for the East to work on together during that time. However, for me and many Koreans as well as East Asian-ers, his idea has inspired us to collaboratively work together, cooperating in East Asia Community under equality. His spirit of peace in East Asia has motivated the leaders of East Asia to sit on the same table and formulate the best way of cooperation between those nations. To put in one sentence, Ahn has been the first bricklayer to stack the first brick in building the most appropriate house of East Asia Community. He didn’t build the house by himself, but without him, the house might not even be started to build or build it in significantly wrong construction. This essay was written for writing competition about Ahn Jung Geun, held by the Korea Times. I was picked up as the 3rd winner. What a good luck for me!	<urn:uuid:f451254f-e005-4a89-bc0a-78c84e1ece40>	1,208	Ahn Jung Geun’s Role in East Asian Peace This is a copy of my essay that was awarded Bronze Medal on Korea Times English Writing Contest, in 2009, when I was an exchange student in South Korea.

The Importance of Vitamin D in Serious Illness A study published in Pediatrics from the University of Ottawa documented that 75% of children in ICU with serious illnesses had low vitamin D levels and were noted to be sicker, requiring more life support services, and longer times in the ICU. Considering that there is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency caused by lack of exposure to sunlight, it is not particularly surprising that kids who suffer from serious health issues get even less sunlight than health kids. Physicians have little nutritional training and tend to ignore the critical importance of good nutrition in people who have increased nutritional needs far beyond the minimum RDA requirements, such as those in the hospital with serious challenges to produce energy and to detoxify. We need more physician nutrition specialists, especially for people in ICUs. Low levels of vitamin D predispose us to more colds, asthma, emphysema, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and osteoporosis. We should be measuring vitamin D levels in everyone, both in the hospital and as a general screen for the public.	<urn:uuid:54f4c157-e788-427a-be0a-4256dd1c6b3f>	224	The Importance of Vitamin D in Serious Illness A study published in Pediat˘ics from the University of Ottawa doŦumented that 75% of children in ԑCU wȤth seri٬us illnesses had lowۿvitami܃ D levels and wϱrݓ nĬȌed to be sickerɊ requiring more life sˬpport services, ǭnd longʝr tčmes in the ɫCU.

Presentation on theme: "The Rise of Russia C18 EQs: What factors led to the emergence of the Russian Empire? Who led efforts to Westernize Russia?"— Presentation transcript: 1The Rise of RussiaC18EQs: What factors led to the emergence of the Russian Empire?Who led efforts to Westernize Russia? 2IntroductionThe Rise of Russia involved very limited commercial exchange (unlike Europe)Mongol rule fostered a new level of independence in the 15th century and Russia pushed eastward conquering central and eventually Eastern Asia all the way to the PacificRussia experienced limited interaction with the West early on until the early 18th centuryRussia was rivaled by regional states like Poland and the BalticsRussia was still dominated by an air of Byzantine culture and influence (though the empire was long since gone) 3Revival and ExpansionMoscow took the lead to liberate Russia from the Mongols in the late 15th centuryMongol occupation did not change Russian culture but it weakened it and changed Russian economy into strictly agrarian (no trade)…even weakened literacyIvan III (the Great) developed a military government/influence coupled with nationalism and Orthodox religious fervor to create a Russian “manifest destiny”Ivan III dreamed to turn Russia into the third Rome and took the title Tsar (Caesar)His son, Ivan IV (the Terrible) continued this policy…he killed off nobles (boyars) to consolidate his power 4Revival and ExpansionThe tsars focused on taking lands away from their former Mongol masters in Central AsiaBoth Ivans recruited peasant pioneers (cossacks) to conquer and settle this territory in Central & Eastern Asia…most of this territory was vast open and fertile plains which would be used to expand Russia’s agricultural economyAcquisition of territory gave the tsars the ability to gain noble loyalty by offering land grants, however, nobility continued the institute of serfdom to level that it was slaveryExpansion into the east created cultural interaction, though the Russians allowed these people to retain cultural identity under Russian rule (much like the Mongols did) 5Early Western Contact and Romanov Policy The Ivans began a limited contact with the West, establishing diplomatic relations in an effort to improve Russia’s economyBritish merchants traded manufactured goods for furs and raw materialsItalian artists and architects brought inHowever, Ivan IV died without an heir and the Time of Troubles (20-30 year civil war) ensued where boyars attempted to gain control of RussiaWestern nations like Sweden and Poland captured Russia’s Baltic territoriesIn 1613, Michael Romanov was chosen by the boyars as tsar and the Time of Troubles ended, with Romanov restoring internal order, expelling foreign invaders (fought war w/Poland) and interestsRomanov’s son Alexis abolished the boyar assemblies and instituted state control of the Orthodox Church…began the infamous pattern of exiling people to Siberia 6Peter the Great Son of Alexis The Great “Westernizer” of Russia…known for traveling to other European kingdoms in secret to learn their waysWas a brutal autocrat, crushed dissent mainly by murdering the dissenters…was not interested in the emerging parliamentary governments, rather preferred despotic direct ruleFought wars with the Ottomans and the Swedes for territoryOne major gain was Russia’s “window to the Baltic” where Peter built his new capital, St. Petersburg and moved Russian rule to that locale, thus establishing a new era of contact with the WestFILM CLIP 7The Impact of Peter the Great Despite despotic rule, Westernization did bring a wave of political, social and economic changes to RussiaBureaucracy and military were modeled after the West…a Russian navy was built…with the boyar council gone, Peter set up advisors under his direct control…a system of governors was established…laws and taxes were created that put more pressure on the serfs (peasants)…Nobles had to shave their beards and dress like westerners (if they did not they were taxed)…Peter brought technical and scientific education to his elitesThese changes, however, were met with some measure of resistance…and an eventual build up to revolution/rebellion among the peasantry as they saw no benefits from Westernization 8Catherine the GreatAfter several decades of weak rule, Catherine (a German princess) conspired to overthrow her “retarded” husband (Peter III)She continued Peter the Great plans and style of rule, strictly autocratic, quelled all dissent and rebellion (Pugachev’s)She used sexual relations to get her way in European affairsShe was a Westernizer and brought the European enlightenment (particularly French) to Russia, but still maintained strong central authority (Instruction of 1767)Was an expansionist (conquered the Caucuses region, claimed Alaska, successfully partitioned Poland among 3 European kingdoms) 9Themes in Russia: Serfdom Russian society embraced serfdom and the exploitation of the peasantry, while the rest of Europe rapidly advanced sociallyRussia’s peasantry was used to the good life before and during Mongol rule, however, the despotism of the nobility led to serfdom becoming hereditary (1649)…serfs were treated like slaves unlike those in a feudal system…the serfs produced food for the masses and for sale while nobles/landlords kept the profits and bought luxury goods for themselves…peasants remained poor and illiterate, living off the few spoils of their noble mastersThe only thing the peasants had were ties amongst villages, small political and religious entities that dictated their daily livesRussia thus remained largely a rural agrarian society, with few cities and most people were tied to the land on which they were born 10Themes in Russia: Trade and Dependence There were few artisans who produced goods…merchants that did exist traded furs and other light manufactured goods…though Peter the Great increased these areas of economic development, the nobility prevented the emergence of a strong mercantile classRussia’s agricultural wealth and efforts, though backwards and limited, still managed to keep the nations economy afloat, even in times of famine and hunger 11Themes in Russia: Social Unrest Serfs did eventually start to rebel against the system…they didn’t stay ignorant and illiterate forever!Western Europeans cried for an end to serfdom in Russia and attempted to educate the serfs of Russia on democratic and capitalist ideas…most rebellions and foreign intrusions were dealt with harshlyEmelian Pugachev’s led a rebellion in the 1770s promising end to serfdom, low taxes and abolition of the landed nobility…he was chopped into many pieces in Moscow 12Russia and Eastern Europe The Eastern European societies, once influenced by Byzantium and Russia, began to fall into the sphere of Western influenceBalkan states in Romania and Bulgaria fell to the Ottomans, Russia’s new enemyCzech and Slovak along with parts of Poland were absorbed by the Prussians, yet parts of Eastern Poland did become part of RussiaHungary and Bohemia were absorbed into the Hapsburg Austro-Hungarian Empire 13This WeekTuesday: Document AnalysisWednesday: Leader ComparisonThursday: Change

The issue of water storage Here is the BOM water storage interactive site we had a look at this week. Have a play with the site and see what can you summise about water storage in Australia today and our future needs? http://water.bom.gov.au//waterstorage/awris/ Also have a look at what the SA WATER site tells you about water storage in South Australia. The Australian Government Water Commission site is also a great resource on the issue of water in Australia. Spend some time trawling through this site for information relevant to our water resources topic. Here are just some facts from the site: Australian water resources are highly variable, both spatially and temporally. Managing competing water demands against the variable supply becomes more difficult, and the need for precision in management arises, as more of the resource is relied on for extraction and use. - In 2004–05, rainfall for Australia was 2,789,400 gigalitres, which was substantially below average for most of the country (except in south-west Western Australia and northern New South Wales). - The 2004–05 year was preceded by more than five years of below-average rainfall across large parts of Australia, particularly the eastern states and south-west Western Australia. - On average, 90 per cent of rainfall is directly evaporated back to the atmosphere or used by plants—only 10 per cent runs off to rivers and streams or recharges groundwater aquifers. Runoff and recharge - 2004–05 total water runoff was estimated at 242,800 gigalitres and total groundwater recharge estimated at 49,200 gigalitres giving a total inflow to Australia’s water resources of 292,000 gigalitres. - Total water resource in 2004-05 was approximately 20 per cent less than that estimated for 1996-97(NLWRA 2001). This decline is likely to be due to drier conditions in 2004-05 and double counting of surface water and groundwater resources in 1996-97. Distribution of water resources - Of the total runoff (242,800 gigalitres), more than 60 per cent occurred in Australia’s three northern drainage divisions. Runoff was greatest in the Gulf of Carpentaria drainage division (62,060 gigalitres), the Timor Sea drainage division (50,240 gigalitres) and the North-East Coast drainage division (40,210 gigalitres). - While over 60 per cent of runoff occurred in northern Australia, only 6 per cent of Australia’s runoff was in the Murray-Darling Basin, which accounted for 50 per cent of Australia’s water use occurs. Dam storage levels - Australia’s total large dam storage capacity was 83,853 gigalitres, with 44,164 gigalitres in storage at 1 July 2004. This is declined by 10 per cent to 39,959 gigalitres at June 2005. - The greatest declines in large dam storage levels between 2002 and 2005, in percentage terms, occurred in New South Wales (33 per cent) and Victoria (22 per cent), with an overall decline of 18 per cent occurring across Australia. - June 2005 large dams with the highest storage levels were Western Australia (at 83 per cent capacity) and Northern Territory (at 70 per cent capacity). The states with lowest levels were New South Wales (at 33 per cent capacity) and Victoria (at 39 per cent capacity). 2.

The Murray Darling Basin issue Make sure you do those questions on the previous posting about the Murray Darling Basin!
As a person with autism, I often hear that people with autism lack empathy. It is a hot button issue of debate between most Autistics and the medical and mental heath professionals. As autism continues to receive negative press, following the Sandy Hook tragedy and the alleged tie to Asperger’s, the empathy debate has been rekindled, but this time it is cutting deeper into the wounds of Autistics. This particular social tsunami is reshaping our societal shores, which is traumatic for those of us who are forced to live at the edge. What Is Empathy? Today, empathy is defined as the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously esperiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another. The word empathy has only been in the English Language since 1909. The English word was coined by a British Psychologist named Edward Titchener in his studies on the structure of the mind, better known today as Structuralism. Dr. Titchener wanted to classify structures in the mind like chemists classified elements into the periodic table. Without getting too technical, Titchner believed that the goal of psychology was to study mind and consciousness. He defined consciousness as the total of mental experience at any given moment and the mind as the accumulated experience of a lifetime. He felt these experiences were the basis of reasoning. Since today we focus more on behavioral and cognitive psychology, the theory of structuralism is mostly ignored. When using the word empathy, Titchener was attempting to translate the German word, “Einfühlungsvermögen” meaning “feeling into.” If we follow the etymology through the Greek, the word can be tied to meanings such as physical affection, passion, partiality, and suffering. What is most interesting is that empathy is often related to Alexithymia, from the Ancient Greek modified words lexis and thumos meaning “without words for emotions.” Why the painful and dry etymology lesson? It should be understood how words begin and evolve into their current meanings. According to my research, the origin of the word empathy focused more on the feelings of self rather than the ability to recognize and relate to the emotions in others. In addition to that, the word Alexithymia, which is often used in tandem with empathy, seems to more accurately descried what we autistics experience – a loss of words to describe emotions. The idea of Einfuhlung (the German word that gave birth to empathy) wasn’t really explored until the publication of a philosophy paper by Robert Vischer in 1873. In other words, empathy derived from philosophy and is a relatively new idea in the grand scheme of time. So Are You Telling Me There Is No Empathy? No. I am simply recounting the history to show that the concept of empathy is a philosophical and theoretical construct that we have redefined over time to label and understand the basic human idea that we feel emotions for others even when the other persons feelings are different from our own. (check my sources at the end of this article for further reading) I will propose, however, that we cannot measure the lack of empathy in another human. Why? Well, we can’t measure empathy so how can we measure a lack of empathy? In my opinion and personal experience with autism, the supposed “lack of empathy” associated with autism is actually an illusion caused by Alexithymia, compounded with sensory system overloads, and a thinned membrane in the brain that inhibits the ease of bilateral communication – all which are manifested in autism. In other words, since there are so many communication and expressive deficits in autism, along with the inability to sync thoughts in real time (or when immersed in the moment), we autistics can appear unfeeling when we are actually quite moved. You’re right, I promised not to get too technical. Let me try an analogy. I used to own a 1967 Malibu. Being a junk yard find, the car had many issues, including electrical issues. I bought a new wiring harness and went to work. The new harness was a re-production part and included wiring for air conditioning, which my particular model did not originally have. However, since other Malibu’s had a A/C option, I knew I could get it to work. I spent hours running wires, splicing, connecting and testing. This job even required the removal of the dash, which in 1967 was solid metal and very heavy. After several days and countless hours, every wire was finally connected. I hooked up the battery for a test. I never could have predicted what happened next; when I attempted to use the turn signal, the windshield wipers moved, when I depressed the brake pedal, the brake lights blinked, and when I turned on the heat, the radio came on too. I was floored. The first thought that ran through my mind was that I had incorrectly hooked up some wires. For the next several days, I re-read the wiring diagrams and re-checked every single connection in the car. Everything was in its proper place. Defeated, and confused, I took the car to an automotive electrical specialist. He smiled and told me to check the grounds. Car electricity requires a ground. A ground is a place where excess or “leaking current”, called fault current, is carried away harmlessly. Since I did not properly ground the electrical system of this car, the fault current had no where to go. Since the current doesn’t just disappear, it ran back through the system to other points, causing the strange behavior in the car. Since the car was old with no on board computer system, the car could not communicate with me. In autism, we have a fault current and no ground. Overstimulated by our heightened sensory system and trapped in thought by our communication system, we display an array of behaviors that are not related to the cause. Flapping, humming and rocking are just a few examples of this, as is what looks like a lack of empathy. Tying It All Together I become very agitated when I perceive hypocrisy in another. During my morning news reads and social media scans, I keep seeing hateful messages in everything from headlines to user comments. Obama shows support for gay-marriage, and then the internet is barraged by hate talk. People begin to post pictures online of them eating at Chic-fil-A, an openly anti-gay institution, while using a technology built on the achievements of Alan Turing, a gay/cultural icon. When news outlets ran with rumors that Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook gunman, had Asperger’s Syndrome, again the hate talk flooded the internet stating that the lack of empathy in autism causes autistics to be a violent threat to society. Posting hate rhetoric and reporting harmless autistics to the police are behaviors that are the furthest from empathetic. Yet, how did the autistic community respond? Did we post hate rhetoric about NT’s? Did we boycott all NT owned businesses? Did we rant or rave using hypocritical actions? No. We mourned. The autistic community was sad, scared, and expressed a deep compassion for the victims and their families through a host of generous and symbolic gestures. When we were attacked for being autistic, we posted photos of ourselves, listed out accomplishments and led the world to a more compassionate view of autism. Through compassion and empathy, we separated the autism debate from the Sandy Hook tragedy, giving the focus, honor, and respect the victims really deserved. Why should their tragic deaths be obscured by an irrelevant debate over autism? Autistics are great mimics. We learn communication and the expression of emotion through hours of hard work, and by mimicking that which we see displayed by the neurotypical world. We autistics are struggling in the dark to show you our compassion, our intelligence, and our accomplishments amidst a social firing squad, armed by an apathetic political agenda. If the neurotypical world wants the autistic world to better express our empathy, then perhaps the neurotypical world should be a better model of empathy. The hate rhetoric, the hypocrisy…..enough, enough, enough.

During my internship at our college hospital,we had conducted a free medical camp for school children. There were many students, hence we asked them to be in a queue, and we were examining them one by one. The first student we examined told that she has headache, abdominal pain and vertigo since morning. The same clinical features were presented by almost all students! When our professor reached there, he scolded us for allowing other students while dealing with one case. “If you take case this way, you will be getting same symptoms among all”, he said in a rough voice. Then we allowed only one person in the cabin and we got difference in the symptoms! Once I was attending a wedding ceremony. When the ceremony was about to begin, the bride's elder sister collapsed, followed by the other three family members. Most of us thought that it is due to some food poisoning. Immediately somebody took them to a nearby hospital, and believe me, they all returned home within one hour with a smiling face! You might have heard of similar incidences, specially among school children and women, mainly during public gatherings and functions. In the news paper also we come across a group of people giving the same complaints after taking same food or medicine. If there is no definite cause, mass hysteria may be the cause for this phenomenon. The mouth to mouth publicity and over-consciousness of health play a major role in doubling the severity of mass hysteria. Usually, doctors are the victims of mass hysteria and the media always takes the benefit. Mass Hysteria is also know as Collective hysteria, Group hysteria, Mass psychogenic illness or Collective obsessional behavior. It is a considered as a socio-psychological phenomenon in which similar hysterical symptoms are manifested in a group of people. The victims strongly believe that they are suffering from a particular disease or affected with same kind of toxic substance or noxious influence. The usual story is, one person starts complaining of certain group of symptoms and others also show the same symptoms. The commonest symptoms in Mass hysteria include nausea, muscular weakness, vomiting, vertigo, abdominal cramps, headache, dim vision, unconsciousness and convulsions. This phenomenon is more among females, school children, and during communal feedings and social gatherings. Occasionally, mass hysteria may be related with witch-hunts, black magic and some superstitious believes. However, care should be taken to prevent the over-diagnosis of mass hysteria, because, conditions like food poisoning, gas tragedies, medicinal reactions and epidemics are also common nowadays. Hence, immediate medical attention is needed to diagnose the actual reason. It is easy for a team of experts to distinguish mass hysteria from a real sickness or poisoning. In mass hysteria, no plausible cause is found and the symptoms are ambiguous. There will be rapid increase of cases with abrupt remission of symptoms. But, sadly, before reaching a final diagnosis, the news is spread in the media due to the high market value of sensational journalism! Considering this phenomena, we doctors should always take some precautionary measures while conducting medical camps.

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 The Tea Party movement continues to be in the news for various reasons. The modern Tea Party is a grass roots movement comprised of individuals who are concerned about the direction our nation is headed and has no real leader. It takes its name from "taxed enough already," but it is about freedom, independence, and liberty. The historical tea party took place on December 16, 1773, when people referred to as "radicals" boarded three East India Company ships and threw 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. The "radicals" were actually members of a secret organization of American Patriots called the Sons of Liberty. This event in protest of oppressive British taxation and tyrannical rule, became known as the Boston Tea Party. James Madison stated, "The people of the U.S. owe their Independence & their liberty, to the wisdom of descrying in the minute tax of 3 pence on tea,, the magnitude of the evil comprised in the precedent. Let them exert the same wisdom, in watching against every evil lurking under plausible disguises, and growing up from small beginnings." Today we find ourselves subject to unjust taxation once again. Even though we technically are represented in Congress, we continue to be taxed for purposes that are not authorized in the Constitution and that we loudly proclaim that we do not want. The tax burden being levied on Americans will eventually kill free enterprise and collapse our economy. American Patriots have mustered once again to form a Tea Party movement. This movement is gaining in strength and is about restoration to first principles and Rule of Law rather than revolution. All patriots must stay the course and hold our ground as we try to maintain the independence and liberty provided to us by our Founders.	<urn:uuid:1ef099dd-d63b-4af7-9c1a-c5f0c40d5c1a>	363	Tuesdϑy, Aʀgus׹ 3, 2010 The ׶ea PǬrtyˁmovement cϡnϏinue޼ to bŰ in thܚ news for various reԑsձϹs.

Planetary A-Index) are higher than any time since late '07. this is the weakest solar cycle in 100 years, which means no living solar scientist has seen a cycle this weak, and our records of what the sun was doing back then are more sparse than what's available now. Since no living scientist has seen a cycle this weak, expect all predictions to be even less accurate than usual. That said, an interesting prediction follows. The next cycle, 25, has been the subject of predictions of very low activity since before this one started. I've read predictions of an SSN of 67 for cycle 25 (compared to 82 for this peak). At the recently completed meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society, Professor Valentina Zharkova of Northumbria University presented results for a new model of the Sun’s interior dynamo at the meeting that points to lower numbers than that. Our Sun has an approximately 11-year activity cycle. During peak periods, it exhibits lots of solar flares and sunspots. Magnetic bubbles of charged particles (coronal mass ejections) may burst from the surface during this period, streaming material into space. These ejections can affect satellites and powerlines on Earth. During lull periods, such activity may almost stop altogether. But the 11-year cycle isn’t quite able to predict all of the Sun’s behaviour — which can seem erratic at times. Zharkova and her colleagues (Professor Simon Shepherd of Bradford University, Dr Helen Popova of Lomonosov Moscow State University, and Dr Sergei Zarkhov of Hull University) have found a way to account for the discrepancies: a ‘double dynamo’ system.I'm wary of predictions for another Maunder minimum, on general principles. It was severe and we simply don't have detailed data records of what the preceding cycles were like. Nothing like the solar instrumentation we had 50 years ago, let alone now. That tells me the prediction can't be based on very solid data from repeatable instruments. Still, even a prolonged minimum that isn't that severe seems like it could be really bad. It seems any deep sunspot minima correlates with colder temperatures. Despite what the alarmists say about Global Warmening (or whatever they call it this week), mankind has done better in warm periods than in the cold periods in our history (huge pdf alert - but fascinating reading). The Sun, like all stars, is a large nuclear fusion reactor that generates powerful magnetic fields, similar to a dynamo. The model developed by Zharkova’s team suggests there are two dynamos at work in the Sun; one close to the surface and one deep within the convection zone. They found this dual dynamo system could explain aspects of the solar cycle with much greater accuracy than before — possibly leading to enhanced predictions of future solar behaviour. “We found magnetic wave components appearing in pairs; originating in two different layers in the Sun’s interior. They both have a frequency of approximately 11 years, although this frequency is slightly different [for both] and they are offset in time,” says Zharkova. The two magnetic waves either reinforce one another to produce high activity or cancel out to create lull periods. ... Their predictions using the model suggest an interesting longer-term trend beyond the 11-year cycle. It shows that solar activity will fall by 60 percent during the 2030s, to conditions last seen during the Maunder Minimum of 1645-1715. “Over the cycle, the waves fluctuate between the Sun’s northern and southern hemispheres. Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97 percent,” says Zharkova. The model predicts that the magnetic wave pairs will become increasingly offset during Cycle 25, which peaks in 2022. Then during Cycle 26, which covers the decade from 2030-2040, the two waves will become exactly out of synch, cancelling one another out. This will cause a significant reduction in solar activity. “In cycle 26, the two waves exactly mirror each other, peaking at the same time but in opposite hemispheres of the Sun. We predict that this will lead to the properties of a ‘Maunder minimum’,” says Zharkova. A potential cold period coming is doubly important with the release of some data this week which shows that when the data adjustments made to the US climate database are removed, it can be seen the US has already been in a mild, century-long cooling trend. The "global warming" disappears. George Soros' well-funded groups. My interest in solar activity grew out of the shortwave radio listening hobby I started when I was about 13 years old. That was in the cycle right after the strongest one on record, the peak from the late 50s. Solar activity acts to increase the density of the ionosphere, which raises the frequency at which radio waves are bent back to Earth. Following the highest frequency that will propagate between two points, the Maximum Usable Frequency or MUF, is generally the way to hear (or talk with) the farthest points with the lowest loss of signal. If you're a radio listener or ham it gives you the best shot at those far points. It's only in the last 20 years or so has it seemed that the solar cycle might affect things like our food supply, and life in general.	<urn:uuid:0f85e43e-d756-40ea-83e5-5e4334266ac1>	1,145	Planetarȯ A-Index) are higʢer than any time sinceҍlateε'07. this is the weakest solar cycle ܽn 100 years, ۑhic׌ means no living solar scientiŎt has seen a cyclҟ this weak, a̳d oԙr records of what ۵he sun was doing back then are more sparȤe than what's aУailabݱe no̵.

Our world is a little backwards when you think about it. People are selfish, they do bad things, they don’t get along with others, they make excuses, and they hold prejudices. This was all fine with me; however, because whenever I went to ballet class I could forget about all of it. Dance was my escape from a broken world to a perfect world. In dance, hard work undoubtedly returns high success and talent is undebatable. In dance, the language you speak is universal; a plié in New York means the same exact thing as a plié in Moscow. You can be anyone or anything you want to be on stage, and audiences will happily give you their undivided attention and think you’re the epitome of beauty. The dance world is simply a perfect world. Isn’t it? Well, not quite. Just ask the scores of aspiring African-American ballerinas over the years, whose beauty wasn’t quite as welcome, and whose hard work did not make them just as successful as everyone else. We have a long way to go before all races are equally represented in the ballet sphere. Nevertheless, there have been many inspiring and in uential black ballerinas who have paved the way for many talented African-American dancers today, warranting more recognition than they typically receive. Janet Collins grew up in the 1920s and dreamed of being a ballerina from a young age. Her family moved to Los Angeles to help Collins’s training, only for her to be denied access to dance classes because she was black. So, Collins’s mother sewed dance costumes in exchange for private lessons with a teacher who saw Janet’s potential. Her big break finally came in 1932 at age 15, when she was invited to dance with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. But the job came under one condition; she was told to paint her face and body white in order to appear onstage. Janet refused, turning down what would have been a career-making opportunity, but her courage paid off. In 1951, Collins became the first African-American artist in history to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House and danced lead roles with them for three years. Later in her career, Collins taught at many prestigious dance programs around New York, including our very own Marymount Manhattan College, where she was on the dance faculty from 1958 to 1969 and premiered one of her de ning works, Genesis. While Collins broke barriers in the classical dance world, most dancers you ask today would probably not even recognize her name. On the otherhand, Misty Copeland is a household name and for better or worse, the token example for practically every discussion on diversity in the dance world. As documented in her autobiography, documentary, and several other books, Copeland took her first ballet classes at the Boys and Girls club in Los Angeles. Recognizing her potential, her first ballet teacher offered to drive her to take more rigorous dance classes at another studio. Soon enough, schools like the San Francisco Ballet and American Ballet Theatre were offering her scholarships to study at their summer intensives. Copeland of cially joined the corps of American Ballet Theater in 2001 and was promoted to soloist in 2007. It’s important to note that Copeland was actually the third African-American to become a soloist at ABT; the lesser-known Anne Benna Sims and Nora Kimball preceded her. Copeland made history, however, when she was promoted to the highest-ranking status of principal dancer in 2015. In an interview with TIME Magazine and former President Barack Obama, Copeland said, “having a platform and having a voice to be seen by people beyond the classical ballet world has really been my power. And it’s forcing a lot of these top tier companies to address the lack of diversity and diversifying the bodies that we’re seeing in classical ballet. It’s really forcing that conversation to be had.” Both onstage and off, Copeland has inspired young dancers of color all across the country, including Precious Adams, Michaela DePrince, and a slew of other young men and women, to pursue their own dreams of becoming professional ballet dancers. It’s important that we take note of them as well, because unfortunately Copeland won’t be dancing forever. The dancers that have come after her continue to face obstacles, from under-the- table comments to outright discrimination. At the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Russia, Adams was told by a teacher to try and “rub the black off” so she would fit in better with the corps de ballet. And DePrince, who now dances with the Dutch National Ballet, recounted, “When I was a child, I overheard one of my directors saying ‘we don’t put a lot of effort into the black girls, because they end up getting fat.’” As former President Obama recounted in his talk with Copeland, positive role models aren’t always enough to spark large-scale change. Economic inequality plays a key role in ballet’s lack of diversity. “We have to remember that the barriers that exist for [dancers of color] to pursue their dreams are deep and structural. And so it is wonderful that the potential dancer can see Copeland and say, I can do that. But if there’s no dance studio at all in their neighborhood, and if their schools don’t offer any extracurricular activities, then it’s going to be a problem,” he said. Breaking stereotypes in the cut-throat, competitive ballet scene is a daunting task on all fronts. But every small step adds up. In January, Gaynor Minden, a popular ballet gear company, released two new shades of pointe shoes, Cappuccino and Espresso. This may seem trivial, but they are actually the first company in history to sell pointe shoes specially made for dancers of color. Previously, these dancers would’ve had to dye their classic satin- pink pointe shoes, which could take hours and ultimately weakens the durability of the shoe. And on the home front, dancers at Marymount Manhattan College have taken their own initiatives. On Saturday March 18, they will be holding a Dance and Diversity Summit, which will feature a panel discussion with young dancers of color, as well as a master class from Jeremy McQueen, professional dancer, teacher and educator, who spoke speci cally about diversity at the Dance Department’s Dialogues series last semester. Elena Comendador, Assistant Professor of Dance at MMC, agrees that diversity should be a top priority for the college, saying “Of course we can always do more to increase diversity in the department and the college as a whole.” It’s hard enough as a dancer, being constantly evaluated by your flexibility, stage presence, and strength, let alone the unalterable color of your skin, which has nothing to do with any of the others. It’s time that dancers, teachers, and choreographers celebrate differences and embody true beauty in all its different shades, not just ballet-pink. The dance world will never be perfect, as I had previously thought, but at the least, everyone deserves to have a place in it.	<urn:uuid:0d3fb71d-5daa-4c1c-a0b1-f3321dcdac44>	1,462	Our world is a little backwards when you think about it.

But if there’s no dance studio at Ɩll in their neiʋhborhood, and if theiĹ schools dٵn’t offer any ext͌acurricular activities, then it’s going to be a problem,” he said. Brޘaking stereotypes iݺ the cut-throؼt, competitive ballet scene is a daunting task on all fronts. But every small step adds uٛ. InȃJan߄ary, Ga׹ؚor Minden, a popular ballet gear company, released two new shades of pointe shoes, Cappuccino and Espresso. This may sǒem trivial, but they are actually the first company Ȋn history to sell pointe shoes specially made for dancers of color. Previously, these dancers would’vܖ had to dye their classic satin- pink pointe shoes, which could take hours and ultimately weakens the durability of the shoe. And on the home front, dancers at Marymount Manhattan College have taken their own initiatives. On Saturday March 18, they will be holding a Dance and Diversity Summit, which will feature a panel discussion with young dancers of color, as well as a master class from Jeremy McQuϯen, professional dancer, teacher and educator, who spoke speci cally about diversity at the Dance Department’s Dialogues series last semester. Elena Comendador, Assistant Professor of Dance at MMC, agrees that diversity should be a top priority for the college, saying “Of course we can always do more to increase diversity in the department and the college as a whole.” It’s hard enough as a dancer, being constantly evaluated by your flexibility, stage presence, and strength, let alone the unalterable color of your skin, which has nothing to do with any of the others. It’s time that dancers, teachers, and choreographers celebrate differences and embody true beauty in all its different shades, not just ballet-pink. The dance world will never be perfect, as I had previously thought, but at the least, everyone deserves to have a place in it.
In the summer and fall of 2008, a public tree inventory was conducted within the city limits. A tally of trees along the street rights-of-way and in city parks revealed about 6,400 trees and approximately 300 available planting sites. The information collected on each tree was a snapshot in time and included the tree species, diameter, location, condition rating, damage type, existing tree conflicts and recommendations for management. The top five genera or types of trees (listed as a percentage of the total number) are: oaks (34%), pines (13%), crape myrtles (9%), dogwoods (6%) and sweetgum (5%). To specify the list further, the inventory documented 62 different species. The top nine (listed by total number) are: loblolly pine (765), crape myrtle (574), willow oak (550), water oak (540), laurel oak (500), live oak (404), dogwood (402), sweetgum (304), maple (189) and magnolia (146). The majority of the trees inventoried were rated in ‘good’ condition (4,447), however 1,649 trees were listed in ‘fair’ condition, 185 in ‘poor’ condition and 37 were dead. The Public Works Department immediately set out to remove the dead trees, which have long since been removed. Unfortunately, the trees in poor condition presented a challenge due to the high number and ability to address each one in a timely manner. Over the past 5 years the City has been systematically working on removing the remaining trees but it takes time. We consider this an important endeavor which will increase public safety and over time, reduce the number of power outages as a result of tree failures during storm events. Other findings from the tree inventory revealed 1,875 trees needed deadwood pruning and of those, 608 were categorized as high-priority due to the amount or size of wood to be removed. Again we have been working on whittling away at the list one tree at a time as in-house resources become available. Please realize that all of these trees have been aging and declining for decades and it may take a while to get them all pruned. In addition, the inventory determined that 737 trees were in conflict with electric lines, no surprise there. To address this, we have started planting small-maturing trees under the electric lines as large unhealthy and unsound trees are removed. Over time, this will alleviate pruning, reduce power outages due to rubbing /falling tree limbs and create a more appealing streetscape. The bottom line is, when trees age and reach their maturity they are more susceptible to environmental stresses (drought conditions, high summer temperatures and extreme low winter temperatures) and human-caused stresses (parking on the root system, cutting roots, paving over the roots, putting soil on top of the roots, over watering and over pruning). After a while, they just can’t take all of the stress and begin to decline in a variety of ways until they reach a point that they are no longer healthy or safe to retain.	<urn:uuid:b5288e02-58d1-4fbb-aec4-8b52083eaa9b>	679	In the summe߷ and fΛll ėf 2008, a public tree inventory was conٕucted ӯithinيthŵ city limits.

JBRF is a research organization –but some of us are also parents. Those of us who aren’t parents have been involved with the struggle long enough to share the perspective. The following is a statement of empathy and support to all the families out there. Millions of us know that something is tragically not right with our children. They struggle with confusing and serious challenges which make it very hard for them to control their behavior, feel secure, direct their thinking in a productive manner, interact in a way to nurture social relationships…and basically, to thrive as we and they would love. We come from all socio-economic classes, educations, cultures, and ages. Many of us have raised multiple children. We recognize that there are many influences affecting a child’s health and development, and that health and development, unto themselves, are hard concepts to define. What is normal? What is a phase? What is bad parenting? How do we know if what we observe is manipulation or the compounded effects of multiple drugs? How do we know that we wouldn’t be better off waiting “it” out, changing the diet, censoring the exposures, and limiting the schedules? Why is it that our children can behave so appropriately in so many situations but rarely at home? We ask ourselves these questions all the time. Our families, friends, schools, doctors and the national temperament barrage us with them as well. While we do not dismiss these factors as pieces in the puzzle, we know that something more basic is robbing our children of their balance, development and happiness and that it may ultimately rob them of their lives. It also exacts a huge toll on our families. Siblings are subject to constant unpredictability and often aggression. Parents are exhausted, and often see their relationships deteriorate as they try to make sense of their child’s emotional pain and behavioral gyrations. Our hearts are broken as we not only try to limit the impact on our other children, but also try to keep our affected child’s personal, academic and social worlds from falling apart. Too often we have to say good-bye to our child and place him or her in the safest environment for all concerned. All these efforts are made while being careful to walk that fine line between advocacy, alienation and stigma. We don’t know what this disorder will look like as our children grow up, and we don’t know what name will ultimately describe it, but we do know that it is there. There are generations of genes that will follow in our family lines. If we do not come to a clearer understanding of what causes the disease, it will cast a long shadow on our children and our children’s children. We look forward to a day when relief will be predictable, public perception will be neutralized and our children can flourish. As an organization, JBRF will do what it can to promote the type of research that will replace shadows with sunlight. As an individual, you can be part of the team to bring about change. If the research described in this site seems to explain your child’s condition, then educate his or her doctor, teachers, family and other caregivers. Insist that they consider a new perspective. Do what you can to help us with our studies. Without family participation in studies and dialogue we cannot move the research forward or out there into the public domain where it will help your child. And please, whenever possible, make a contribution to JBRF in order to keep the research going.	<urn:uuid:0acc853e-1c38-41c9-bb79-347b03a24f5c>	700	JBRF is a research organization –but some of us are also parents.

Departmentation Case Study: Departmentation is the process of the uniting of the activities of the company into the certain groups and departments with the purpose to manage and control them effectively. The process of departmentation is very important and is widely used in business, as every big corporation has to be centralized in order to control its activity well. Departments are created on the basis of different factors. First of all, if there are offices which fulfill the common duties, they can be and ought to be united and controlled from the single centre in order to increase their productiveness. This process is applied not only in private business but by the government of the country, which organizes the departments of economics, culture, sport, etc uniting all the organizations and companies under the single flag of the common department. Then, departmentation is carried out on the basis of the geographical position of the activities. For example, if the corporation is big and covers the whole country, it can form the departments on the basis of their location: the eastern department, the central department, etc. Next, the corporation can form a department on the basis of the type of product manufactured on its factories and plants. If the corporation manufactures numerous products, devices and appliances, provides service of all kinds, it can form numerous departments on the basis of the products and these services (for example, the department of banking, insurance, telecommunication, etc). Finally, a corporation creates a department on the basis of the type of customers who purchase its products or services (for example, the department of the premium-class products, middle-class products, etc.). Departmentation is the important essential process which touches upon every serious and big business. The student who is asked to prepare departmentation case study should first of all learn about the process in the whole and then focus on the direct case. The case should be researched from all sides; the factors and consequences of departmentation ought to be found as well in order to observe the problem objectively. One should analyze the case professionally and try to solve the problem of departmentation in the appropriate way paying attention to the peculiarities of the company and the type of the services and products it offers. The single adequate way to prepare a winning case study is to use the strong side of the Internet and read a free example case study on departmentation prepared by the responsible and certified writer.

Atlas Missile Silo ATTENTION - Atlas Missileers Plans are currently being formed for a 2018 reunion open to anyone which served with the SM-65 Atlas ICBM Missile System. This web site is dedicated to the Atlas series of missile sites which were constructed in the early 1960's and put into service by the United States Air Force and the Strategic Air Command during the Cold War. The sites remained active until the Spring of 1965. The Atlas missile system project was given the weapons system designation of SM-65 by the Air Force. Because of the emergence of space and missile technology during the mid and late 1950's, the Atlas project eventually became the number one priority in the entire country as it attained "national priority" status. This made the Atlas program the single most important project in the United States at that time and no expense was spared in getting the system deployed and operational. In total, there were six different models of the Atlas rocket. They were designated the Atlas A, B, C, D, E and F. The first three were for prototyping and development and were never deployed as production ICBM's. There were three different styles of operational Atlas missile complexes built. They were designated as type D, E and F. There were 8 Atlas D, 27 Atlas E and 72 Atlas F operational missile complexes built. They were controlled by 10 different Air Force bases located throughout the United States. Each Air Force base was assigned a Strategic Missile Squadron which supported the missile complexes that had been constructed near that particular base. F.E Warren AFB was unique in that it had two Atlas D squadrons and one Atlas E squadron assigned. Most of the bases involved were located in the central states, however, some sites were constructed in New York and Washington State. There were also several sites located at Vandenburg AFB in California, however, they were prototype complexes built as "test" versions of the operational sites to be constructed elsewhere around the country. The service life of the Atlas ICBM was short lived and varied from 3 to 5 years depending on the model. The volatile nature of liquid fueled rockets made the Atlas complexes a challenge to manage and maintain. There were several accidents which caused the complete loss and closure of the site involved. Advancements in solid fuel rocket technology made the Atlas liquid fueled missile obsolete and by mid-1965 all of the Atlas missile sites had been decommissioned and closed. The Atlas rocket was removed from the sites and stored by the Air Force at Norton AFB which was located east of Los Angeles. They were later used by the Air Force and NASA as satellite and research and development launch vehicles. Equipment that the Air Force deemed classified or re-useable elsewhere was removed. Several of the power generators were sent to Vietnam and used to provide electrical power for U. S. bases during the Vietnam war. Most of the land properties were then returned to previous land owners or given to a local government entity. Many of the properties would wind up in the hands of the local school districts, some of which are still owned by that school district to this day. One of the Atlas E complexes located in Kansas was turned into a high school by the district it was given to. Many of the Atlas missile properties have been sold to private owners and a few of them either have been or are currently being renovated into underground homes. This type of unique home has been featured in many newspaper, magazine and TV reports all over the world. If you have an interest in owning one of these sites, you can view currently available properties here. This web site has been broken down into six major sections. The first three are dedicated to each of the three styles of operational Atlas missile complexes - Atlas D, Atlas E and Atlas F. The fourth section is dedicated to the 576th SMS which was based at Vandenberg Air Force Base. The missile sites at Vandenberg are varied and unique and therefore have been grouped together in their own section. The fifth section contains information concerning atmospheric nuclear testing done by the United States during the 1950's and early 1960's. The sixth section contains information concerning the Civil Defense program which was established in 1941. Click on one of the links below to learn more about that particular section of the web site. This site is a work in process, so please check back frequently for updates and new material. If you should have any photos, documents, or other items or information that you would be willing to share or contribute to this site, please feel free to contact us. We are actively compiling as much Atlas missile system information as possible and are always on the lookout for new additions. This site is intended to present as much factual information as possible about the Atlas series first generation ICBM Missile System. If you see something that you believe is inaccurate, please don't hesitate to contact us. This site is intended to relay factual information and constructive criticism is gladly accepted. You may also visit our Links page for other interesting sites including missile related web sites as well as Squadron specific sites. This web site is dedicated to everyone who worked on or served in the SM-65 Atlas ICBM program. Without their dedication to the national defense of the United States, the freedoms we enjoy today would not be possible. Thanks For Stopping By!!

“The Negev is one of the Jewish Nation’s safe havens” David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s First Prime Minister The Negev, meaning “South” in Biblical Hebrew, extends from Beersheva in the north to the port of Eilat on the Gulf of Aqaba in the south, with Jordan on its eastern border and Egypt on its southern border. The Negev has a deep history. It is the area where the Jewish nation’s forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, looked after their flocks. It is filled with dirt, rocks and canyons, as well as breathtaking landscapes, waterfalls, caves, archeological sites, cities and craters. Covering an area of 4,600 square miles, the Negev comprises over half the land mass, or 66% (over 6,700 square miles) of the State of Israel. Its elevation ranges from a height of 3,400 feet above sea level to 1,150 feet below sea level. Five different ecological regions fall within the area of the Negev. These range from the “Mediterranean Zone,” with fairly fertile soils to inferior soils where little can grow without special soil additives. People originally thought the Negev was virtually uninhabitable, but as Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion realized “The Negev offers the greatest opportunity to accomplish everything from the very beginning.” In 2005, then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon restored David Ben-Gurion’s vision when he committed the government to a project titled “Negev 2015”. This incorporates a comprehensive $3.6 billion, 10-year plan to boost growth and development in the region, including infrastructure, housing, education, tourism and industry. - The Negev is mainly inhabited by Jews and Bedouins. 14.3% of Israel’s population currently resides in the southern part of the country. This includes 14.6% Jews. (Central Bureau of Statistics, 2007) - For centuries the Negev has been ‘home’ to Bedouins, who in recent years have increasingly settled into more permanent homes and left their nomadic lifestyle. Much of these buildings have been done illegally. - Many Arabs want to use the Negev to divide Israel and connect areas of the Judean and Hevron Hills to Egypt and Gaza. - The growth rate of the population of the Negev has been negative since 1996 and continues to decline. National priority has been given to the Negev. The aim is to increase the population in the region from 535,000 in 2005 to 900,000 by 2015. - Many of the current IDF bases from the center of the country are expected to move to the Negev. This will have a positive influence on the development of the region. - Most of the land in the Negev is state owned. The land available for purchasing through the Israel Land Fund is mostly for agricultural purposes. - David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister made his home in Kibbutz Sde Boker, in the Negev. The hut he used to live is a museum dedicated to his legacy. - The world’s largest solar power station is being planned in the Negev by Ben Gurion University together with the Blaustein Institute for Desert Research in Sde Boker. - The Negev has an arid and semi-arid climate with an average rainfall of between 2-6 inches annually. - Israel, through the Negev, is internationally renowned for combating the desert and preventing desertification of fertile lands. The Negev’s water and soil conservation programs have become models in sustainable land management worldwide. - The Negev Foundation is recognized for its promotion of desert agricultural innovations. - In 1959 Simcha Blass, considered the father of modern drip irrigation, developed the first drip irrigation system to irrigate Kibbutz Hatzerim, eight kilometers from Beer Sheva. He was also the person most responsible for drawing up initial plans to convey waters to the Negev from 1939. - Unlike other areas were reclaimed waters is poured into the sea, the Negev relies to a large extent on recycled water piped in from Tel Aviv. This is used mainly for agriculture and irrigation. Saline water from underground reservoirs is used for certain crops and plants. - The Negev is home to high quality educational institutions, such as Ben Gurion University and Sapir College, that attract thousands of students each year. - Four ancient Nabatean towns in the Negev have been inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Facts of Interest - Farmers use the year-round sunlight and advanced irrigation systems to produce fine crops of grain, fodder, fruit and vegetables. The Arava, on the eastern border of the Negev, produces over 90% of Israel’s melon exports. - The Negev has abundant prehistoric remains and remnants of early historic settlements. These include flint arrowheads dating to the Late Stone Age (c. 7000 BCE). Tel Arad, in the Eastern Negev, is the site of a biblical town that is one of the earliest known urban settlements - The Negev’s natural resources include potash, bromine, magnesium, as well as copper that is mined at Timna and natural gas at Rosh Zohar. - The Negev has six cities with Beer Sheva, known as the capital of the Negev, the largest. It has seven local councils and ten regional councils. - The town of Arad is popular amongst people suffering from asthma and allergies as it contains clean, dry air. - Kibbutz Yotvata in the Negev is one of Israel’s major dairies, and attracts visitors year round. - A prime feature of the Negev is its erosion craters (or Makteshim in Hebrew), surrounded by high cliffs. One of the best known of these is Maktesh Ramon. The craters were created by erosion of upward-folded strata or anticlines, together with horizontal stresses. - The Negev is set to become a world center of an important component used in the manufacturing of tires. An Israeli company based in the Negev, Dimona Silica Industries (DSI) has found a use for silica or silicon dioxide, which until now has been considered a waste product.

India has officially announced that they have completed the World’s Largest Solar Power Plant in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu. This impressive facility has a capacity of 648 MW, which is about 98 MW more than the 550 MW Topaz Solar Farm in California, which previously held this title. The massive plant has been built on an area of 10 square km (3.9 square miles) and is certainly a testimony to the commitment of the Indian Government towards reducing their carbon footprint and alleviating the pollution crisis in the country. The plant has been built with the collaboration of the Adani Group and their $679m investment. The solar farm was completed in an impressive time of just eight months, and it has over 2.5 million individual solar modules. If you are not impressed with this, autonomous cleaning robots are installed each solar array, which will ensure that the solar panels are cleaned at regular intervals and are working at their most efficient levels. The plant is capable of powering about 150,000 homes in the region, and can also help the country reach their goal of running over 60 million homes solely on solar energy by 2022. The target is indeed far-fetched, but at least India is taking steps in the right direction with around 10 GW of solar power already in action. The move towards becoming a greener country started after the country was hit by record air pollution. India is also a major user of coal and has been termed a mega-contributor towards the global coal pollution problem. To reach the coveted target set by India, they will need to build hundreds of such solar power plants. But for now, we must applaud the initiative and a step towards a brighter tomorrow.	<urn:uuid:c9992cb1-6223-46cc-b38a-7b040efe1fa3>	360	India hӒs officially annžunced tޟat˸they ΀ave completϚd tФe Worl֙’sܚLarпe̜t Sޏlar Power Plant in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu.

Transportation drivers are responsible for very precious cargo. Their primary focus is to safely transport children from home to school or to school activities and back again. Drivers receive extensive training to learn the necessary skills to operate the vehicles and navigate traffic, but rarely receive information or training on how to manage disruptive behaviors on the vehicle. It’s Friday afternoon. The middle-school students are in high spirits because it’s the start of a long holiday weekend. As the driver prepares to depart, he says, “I can’t move this bus until all passengers are seated. Could you all sit down, please?” One student in particular ignores the driver and continues to stand and talk to his friends. The driver, while still seated, repeats the request in a louder voice, becoming impatient. It’s his long weekend too. The student continues to ignore the driver, who now leaves his seat and approaches the student. The driver tells the student, “If you don’t sit down now, you’ll walk home on your own and be off this bus the rest of the year!” Two things can happen from here. The student can agree and sit down, or, more likely, a power struggle will ensue. For many of us, this scenario is all too familiar. Many of us have implemented School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SW-PBIS) in our buildings, but how many of us have considered extending these strategies to the school bus? A recent article in Campus Safety Magazine, “Establishing Positive Behavior on the Bus,” profiles a middle school in Maryland that has had success doing exactly that. By extending SW-PBIS training to drivers, the school empowers drivers to address challenging behavior proactively. Additionally, another Campus Safety Magazine article, “Strategies for Managing Discipline Problems on the School Bus,” outlines methods that drivers can use to increase school-bus safety—methods such as using positive reinforcement, an approach that proves effective with students of all ages.

Edited By: Roy M Harrison 363 pages, diagrams Environmental chemistry is becoming increasingly important and is crucial in the understanding of a range of issues, from climate change to local pollution problems. "Principles of Environmental Chemistry" draws upon sections of the author's previous text ("Understanding our Environment") and reflects the growing trend of a more sophisticated approach to teaching environmental science at university. This new, revised text focuses on the chemistry involved in environmental problems. Written by leading experts in the field, the book provides an in depth introduction to the chemical processes influencing the atmosphere, freshwaters, salt waters and soils. Subsequent sections discuss the behaviour of organic chemicals in the environment and environmental transfer between compartments such as air, soil and water. Also included is a section on biogeochemical cycling, which is crucial in the understanding of the behaviour of chemicals in the environment. Written with the university-level chemistry student firmly in mind...overall, an authoritative text that should deservedly feature on office and library shelves. -- Chemistry World, August 2007, 67 (Mathew Heal) Chemistry World There are currently no reviews for this product.

Did Muslims and Jews in the Middle Ages cohabit in a peaceful "interfaith utopia"? Or were Jews under Muslim rule persecuted, much as they were in Christian lands? This text offers a systematic comparison of Jewish life in the medieval Islamic world and Christendom. It shows that, contrary to traditional beliefs, medieval Islamic-Jewish relations, though not utopic, were less confrontational and violent than those between Christians and Jews in the West.

Until now, drawing blood has been an unavoidable component of being tested for prediabetes and diabetes. Nobody enjoys the process, and it probably makes many people shy away from undergoing diagnosis at all. But all that could change with the advent of a new diagnostic device that involves no pricks, no blood draw, no fasting, and no waiting for lab results. It is already approved for use in Canada and Europe, and it is being evaluated as an investigational tool in the United States. The device, the VeraLight SCOUT DS®, shines light through the skin to measure the presence of biomarkers associated with diabetes or prediabetes. To undergo the test, patients simply place their forearm on a portable table-top unit where an intense light shines on their skin. Results indicating the presence or absence of telltale biomarkers are available in under four minutes. One diabetes researcher who has been using the SCOUT DS says that it is helping scientists understand that people can have similar blood glucose levels but substantially different A1Cs. According to Dr. Stuart Chalew, a professor of pediatric endocrinology at Louisiana State University’s Health Sciences Center, conventional thinking has been that blood glucose levels and A1Cs go hand in hand. But research with the VeraLight tool has revealed a consistently higher A1C level in some people simply by observing the amount of glycated protein detected by the device’s intense light. Dr. Chalew notes that the diabetic children of nondiabetic parents often have the same amount of biomarkers as their parents. This means, he says, that at a young age the children already have the same accumulation of protein that their parents took 20 or 30 years longer to build up. VeraLight is hoping that in 2013, the FDA will approve changing the SCOUT DS from its current status as an investigational tool to a fully approved medical device. Eventually, the SCOUT DS may be used on a mass scale to quickly and painlessly screen people for prediabetes and diabetes.	<urn:uuid:d254a06e-2a8b-45d9-981a-4f414a193ac0>	412	Until now, drawing blood has been an unavoidable componeզt of being tested f˵r prediabetes and diabetes.

The 2016 General Election across the was a triumph for Republicans, but not necessarily for conservatism, as their ticket was lead by a non-conservative candidate and there were more liberal victories in referenda than conservative ones among several of the States, although many conservative Republicans were elected to federal and state offices. At the top of the ballot was the office of United States presidential Electors (members of the Electoral College), as the election was for them, even though voters cast ballots under the names of presidential and vice presidential nominees. Electors are chosen by parties or candidates. The Republican Electors, in the name of Donald J. Trump and Michael Pence as their party’s nominees for President and Vice President, respectively, appear to have won 306 of the 538 seats in the Electoral College, pending the certification of the election of the Electors by the House and Senate, respectively. They collectively did not win a majority or even a plurality, with only 46% of the votes, nearly 2.9 million less than the Democratic Electors. The former liberal Democrat Trump appeared to adopt some conservative positions, but held some views to the left of even the liberal Democratic nominee and was generally a big-government populist, protectionist, nativist and isolationist. He relied on deception, both about his record as a businessman, and by the spread of false or misleading information, as well as through fear and intimidation among any who would criticize him. Trump also benefited from an unprecedented foreign interference in the American election, namely hacking, leaking and propaganda and disinformation from the Communist Russian Federation on his behalf. As a result of the nomination of a non-conservative by the Republican Party, there were seven million votes cast for the Electors for non-major party candidates, including many for conservatives and Republicans, both on the ballot or as registered write-in candidates, or as symbolic write-in votes for non-registered candidates. Well over 600,000 votes were cast for the Electors for conservative Evan McMullin the former Central Intelligence Agency anti-terrorism agent and House Republican Policy Director who was unknown when he announced his candidacy only 90 days before the election. In with over 20% of the vote, he became the closet to getting his Electors elected in any state since Ross Perot in 1992. There was also an unusually large undervote (the skipping of a particular office on the ballot by voters who vote for other offices) of perhaps two million votes for the Electors. In fact, in several other States, conservative Republican Senate candidates, including some who opposed Trump, received more votes than those of the Trump-Pence Electors and there were five million more votes for Republican House candidates across the Union in collectively than for the Even though the conservative effort to oppose Trump was not successful in denying a majority for the Republican Electors, the movement was successful in allowing conservatives to vote their consciences, in demonstrating the separation between conservatism and the Republican Party’s platform and denying Trump a popular mandate. The anti-Trump movement’s efforts continue to persuade Electors to vote for a fit conservative Republican who is not a demagogue or asset of the Russians when the Electoral College conducts the presidential election tomorrow, which will be the subject of my next post. In the Congressional elections, Republicans won by retaining their majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, despite losing seats in both chambers, as there were no Trump coattails. As with the Senate, there were numerous GOP House candidates who did not support Trump. The Republican Congressional majority will have to defend the Separation of Powers by being a check on the President, resisting the expansion of executive power at the expense of that of the Legislative Branch, advance any conservative policies while rejecting non-conservative ones, confirm conservative appointment and reject non-conservative ones. For state offices, Republicans gained a net of one Governor, thereby adding to their large majority, while picking up additional state legislative chambers, including the Kentucky House of Representatives, the last Democratic-held one in the South (not including Maryland and Delaware as Southern). The results for federal and state offices in Pennsylvania were the focus of an earlier post this month, as the results there, as elsewhere, were only recently certified. Although there were many referenda among the States that were approved by the voters that were contrary to conservatism, especially in regard to legalizing marijuana, there were several that were not. Voters in Arizona rejected a measure to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. voters rejected a referendum requiring background checks for certain gun sales. Nebraskans approved a referendum to reinstate the death penalty, while the voters of Oklahoma vote affirmatively for a question of guaranteeing the state’s authority to impose capital punishment, while Californians rejected a referendum that would have repealed the death penalty. The results of the 2016 General Election, although generally a rejection of liberal Democratic candidates, if not necessarily of liberal ideas, have created some opportunities and dangers for conservatives and Republicans. They must be wise in advancing the cause of liberty and good government.	<urn:uuid:4dc3af03-77a4-4320-b2fd-98a4ad08f5ef>	1,060	The 2016 General Electޢon across the was a triumph for Republicans, but not necessarߢly fϕr conservatism, as their ʥicket was lead by a non-conservative candidȂte and the֓eՓwere٣more ܳiberal victories in refereߺda than conserݝative޳ones among several of thʒ Stat֔s, although ބany conservative Republicans were elected toܗfedera̪֜and state offices.

Why the names of Ahle Bait (as) are not mentioned in Holy Quran? – Examination Index: Why the names of Ahle Bait (as) are not mentioned in Holy Quran? 1. Allah’s Sunnah 2. Distortion in the Quran 4. General vs Specifics 5. Example of the past nations 6. People of the Reminder The opponents of Shias raise doubts about Imamat on the ground that had it been so important then the Ahle Bait (a.s.) or the Imams (a.s.) would certainly have been named in the Holy Quran so that the Muslims could take guidance. Examination of the Muslims Allah the All-Knowing has examined the nations in various ways as highlighted by the Holy Quran. Some are examined through fear and hunger (Surah Baqarah (2): Verse 155); angels were examined regarding the prostration to Adam (a.s.) (Surah Hijr (15):Verses 28-30); Jews were examined when they were prohibited to fish on the Sabbath (Saturday) (Surah Baqarah (2): Verse 65) and finally every individual and nation is examined at different levels and in different ways. It is reported that among the examinations of the Muslim nation is regarding the successor of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). Allah the All-Aware has examined Ameerul Momineen Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) with unprecedented tribulations and He has examined the Muslim nation through Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.). In this way Allah has raised Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) as a litmus test so as to identify His Friends and the Friends of His Prophet (s.a.w.a.). - Kanz Jaame al-Fawaaed - Kashf al-Ghummah - Taaweel al-Aayaat al-Zaaherah - Behaar al-Anwaar vol. 24 p. 181 and vol. 36 p. 160 To that end, Allah the High has made a general reference to the Ahle Bait (a.s.) and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has provided the details. Hence, Allah the Almighty has examined the Muslims – whether they obey Allah and obey the Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) instruction about the Ahle Bait (a.s.) or offer lame excuses like they have been doing all these centuries. The Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was aware that Muslims would disobey him (s.a.w.a.) regarding the Ahle Bait (a.s.) and warned them: It is not far that a man will usurp the throne (claiming caliphate) citing my tradition which I had not said, he will say, ‘between you and me is the Book, whatever is the lawful in it we will follow them and whatever is unlawful in it we will identify it’. (Then he (s.a.w.a.) said) ‘Beware that whatever the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has made unlawful, Allah also had made unlawful’ - Sunan Tirmidhi vol. 2 p. 110 - Al-Mustadrak alaa al-Saheehain vol. 1 p. 8 Another reliable report states – the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) will call out at the Pond (Hauz): ‘…they are my followers, and it would be said to him (s.a.w.a.): You do not know what they did after you and I (i.e. the Holy Prophet) will say to them: Woe to him who changes (his religion) after me.’ - Saheeh Muslim tradition 2,291 under Book 43 – Book of Virtues, report 31 and Book 30 – report 5,682 Strangely, Muslim records this tradition among the ‘Virtues of Companions’! If altering religion counts as virtue, only Allah knows what is indecency and sin!!

The ducat (IPA: /ˈdʌkət/) is a gold coin that was used as a trade currency throughout Europe before World War I. Its weight is 3.4909 grams of .986 gold, which is 0.1107 troy ounce, AGW, actual gold weight. Template:Coin image box 1 double The first issue of this coin is thought to have been under Roger II of Sicily, who, in 1140, coined ducats bearing the figure of Christ, and the inscription, 'Sit tibi, Christe, datus, quem tu regis iste ducatus' (or roughly, "O Christ, let this duchy which you rule be dedicated to you." This seems to be a reference to Template:Bibleverse). The ducat was introduced by the Republic of Venice in 1284 under the doge Giovanni Dandolo (1280-1289). The Venetian ducat, called zecchino, featured the Doge kneeling before St. Mark on the obverse and Jesus on the reverse. During the Middle Ages the ducat gained much popularity, as it was easy to mint, and packed quite a value in one relatively small coin. Several cities and small states in Europe – mostly Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages – issued multiple, single and fractional ducats. The standard of coin was adopted in Hungary; and for a long time all foreign coins bore the name Ongri, Italian for "Hungarian", where the trade of the world at this period was concentrated. They did not become popular in Germany until a later date. Ducats became a standard gold coin throughout Europe, especially after it was officially imperially sanctioned in 1566. The ducat remained sanctioned until 1857. To make it more confusing there was also a silver ducat minted in many European nations. The Royal Dutch Mint still issues silver ducats with a weight of 28.25 grams. The most common type of ducat were the old Dutch ducats, bearing the impression of an armed figure, which gave way, for a short time only, to the figure of Louis II of Flanders. They circulated almost as merchandise, but had been frequently counterfeited in the Grisons. The counterfeits were very good in appearance, both in weight and sound. According to 1913 Webster the ducat was worth the equivalent of "nine shillings and four pence sterling, or somewhat more than two dollars. The silver ducat is of about half this value." The ducat itself was worth an amount of money, but it was not written down in other denominations, such as its exact worth in German marks, dollars or any other currency of that time. The production of ducats as trade coins continued after World War I by some nations, namely Czechoslovakia and The Netherlands. Even now some national mints produce batches of ducats made after old patterns as bullion gold and banks sell these coins to private investors or collectors. Nations, states, and cities where the ducat was minted - Austria The Austrian mint still mints single and four-ducats, both dated 1915. - Germany many German cities, states and principalities before 1871. - Hungary The Hungarian mint still mints commemorative coins with 2, 3, 4 and 6-ducats quality. - The Netherlands issues still golden and silver ducats having the same weight, composite and design when they were first minted in 1589. - Russia imitated Dutch ducats due to their popularity. Also issued small quantities of Russian design. - Spain, all through its domains, including Flanders, the Kingdom of Napoli and the Americas. - Switzerland Before the Swiss unification, the Swiss also minted Ducats. The most well known are the Zurich ducats. - The name ducat is derived from the Latin for duke. - The term "ducat" is still used today as slang for a unit of currency (in the lyrics to "I Ain't The One," Ice Cube of the rap group N.W.A rhymes, "He's gettin juiced for his ducats/I tell a girl in a minute yo, I drive a bucket") - Recent derivations on the slang term "ducat" include event tickets and bus passes. - Ducats were often used as 'Good Luck' coins or Touch Pieces. - Ducados was a brand of Spanish cigarettes.

Its weight is 3.4909 grams of .986 gold, which is 0.1107 troy ounce, AGW, actual gold weight. Template:Coin image box 1 double The first issue of this coin is thought to have been under Roger II of Sicily, who, in 1140, coined ducats bearing the figure of Christ, and the inscription, 'Sit tibi, Christe, datus, quem tu regis iste ducatus' (or roughly, "O Christ, let this duchy which you rule be dedicated to you."

A Trans-African DC-7 crashes on takeoff in Douala, Cameroon, on this day in 1962. A simple mechanical failure doomed the flight and its 111 passengers and crew. This was the first single-airplane disaster in history in which more than 100 people died. The DC-7 was a charter plane owned by the Trans-African Coach Company. On March 4, Flight 153 took off from Mozambique, stopped in Lisbon, Portugal, and then arrived in Cameroon before it was due to fly on to Luxembourg. The previous legs of the flight had been uneventful, so it came as a surprise when the plane had difficulty taking off from Douala Airport. At about 6:20 p.m., the flight was cleared for takeoff, but it took nearly the entire length of the runway for the plane to get off the ground. About a mile and a half into its journey, the plane struck several trees and crashed into a swamp. The subsequent fireball killed all 101 passengers and 10 crew members on board. An investigation later revealed that the probable cause of the catastrophe was a jammed elevator spring tab, a part of the plane critical to controlling lift and altitude. Two more airplane disasters killing more than 100 people also occurred in 1962. In fact, just 12 days later, 107 people died in a Pacific Ocean crash involving a Lockheed Super Constellation plane. Two more accidents killing more than 100 followed that summer.	<urn:uuid:4175db3f-7bb9-4a5e-b560-89147c55ca74>	322	A Trans-African DC-7 crashes on takeoff in Douala, Cameroon, on this day iظ 1962.

2480Latin chant mass, San Francisco, Sept 2 - Sep 1, 2006A Latin Mass according to the Anglican Rite will be celebrated at Church of the Advent of Christ the King on Saturday, September 2nd at 5.00pm. The Gregorian propers for the Eve of Pentecost XIII will be sung by the Schola Cantorum, directed by Paul M. Ellison. The congregation will sing the much-loved Missa de Angelis. A reception follows in Lathrop Hall. Advent is located at 261 Fell Street, between Franklin and Gough in San Francisco. Please join us, and step out of the modern world and back in time, into the timeless world that chant inhabits. A Short Introduction to Gregorian chant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: http://wikipedia.org/ Gregorian chant is also known as plainchant or plainsong and is a form of monophonic, unaccompanied singing, which was developed in the Roman Catholic Church, mainly during the period 800-1000. It takes its name from Pope Gregory the Great, who is believed to have brought it to the West based on Eastern models of Byzantine chant. Gregorian chant was traditionally sung by monks and was used during religious services. It is the music of the Roman Rite of the Mass, also known as the Tridentine rite. Unaccompanied singing has been part of the liturgy of the Christian church since its beginnings. Three separate roots for singing of chant have been proposed: the musical practice in the synagogue during the apostolic period; early Christian tradition; and pagan traditions, music for which is now lost. For the first few centuries, up until about 400, information is very scant indeed. Scholars are still hotly debating the period between roughly 400 and 800. According to the Advent Project theory of James McKinnon, it appears that in the latter part of the 7th century, a large part of the Roman Mass had been put together rather consciously in a short period of time. Other scholars, including Andreas Pfisterer, have argued for an earlier origin. The music to accompany the Mass was apparently also collected in this period. Since Gregorian chant is remarkably uniform in geographically very distant regions, and this unification happened in a rather short time, most likely around 800, the bulk of evidence suggests that a major effort at making the repertory consistent happened at this time. Scholars still debate whether the essentials of the melodies originated in Rome, before the eighth century, or in Francia, in the eighth and early ninth centuries. In all likelihood, chant is at least as old as the breakup of the western Roman Empire in the 5th century, but mutated into different forms in different regions until brought together into one unified repertory under Charlemagne. In the ninth and tenth century, the first sources with decipherable (but not pitch-readable) musical notation are found. These are known as staffless neumes. Before notation, chant melodies were passed down orally. Notation helped to standardize the melodies and reduced the need for memorization. Most scholars of Gregorian chant agree that the development of music notation assisted the dissemination of chant across a thousand miles of Europe; indeed, it may have been impossible any other way, since there is no evidence of mutation across distance. Survivals of notated manuscripts, however, are few, and restricted to a few locations in Germany (Regensburg), Switzerland (St. Gall) and France (Laon, St Martial). Most of the Gregorian chant familiar today, at least that in the Mass, has changed little since this time. The music and its performers In most Western music since the Renaissance there are two modes: the major and minor scales. The Major scale is built upon the Do and the minor scale the La. The various keys that are used affect only the range of the notes, or the pitch. Essentially the scale is the same, only transposed, or moved, to a different range. Many hear Gregorian chant and think of it as a very simplified version of modern music. While it is simple in its lack of harmony, the modal system involved is quite complex, and uses the theoretical system of 8 modes. While some pieces fall outside these modes, most obey the theory. The actual theory behind modality is quite complicated, but essentially each mode is a unique scale system, in addition to our major and minor scales. In this manner plainsong is much richer than the simplified bimodal modern system, but this makes some of the sounds of Gregorian chant unusual to ears attuned to modern scalar modes. Unlike modern music there is no beat or regular accent to Gregorian Chant. In fact the time is free, allowing the accenting of the text, which often includes sections of unequal length and importance. The actual pitch of the Gregorian chant is not fixed, so the piece can be sung at any range, so long as the intervals are respected. Chant is commonly written on a staff similar to the modern 5-line-4-space staff, but the Gregorian staff has 4 lines and 3 spaces. The notes, called neumes, are somewhat similar to modern notes, but often do not include stems and can be stacked, not to create harmonic chords, but to indicate the sequence. Example of chant notation: Traditionally chant would be sung only by men, as it was originally simply the music sung by all the clergy (all male) during the Mass and Office (prayer sessions scheduled seven times throughout the day). As the Church expanded away from the larger cities, the number of clergy at each Church dropped, and lay men started singing these parts. In Convents women were permitted to sing the Mass and Office as a function of their consecrated life, but the choir was still considered an official liturgical duty reserved to clergy, so lay women were not allowed to sing in the Gregorian Schola or chant As harmony began to develop in the middle ages and into the Renaissance younger boys and castrati would sing the high parts. As these numbers dwindled and the music became popular away from the major cities, women gradually were permitted to sing the polyphonic Eventually popes, especially Pope St. Pius X, encouraged the faithful to sing the Ordinary of the Mass. In his motu proprio Tra le sollicitudine, Pius X reserved the singing of the propers for males. While this custom is maintained in some communities, the Catholic Church no longer exercises this ban. Gregorian chant in the liturgy Gregorian chant, like the chants of the other rites, was later used to sing only certain parts of the liturgy. The rest of the parts are sung by the bishops, priests, and deacons with a certain default assigning of notes to words depending on their place in a sentence. The parts sung in the Gregorian chant style in the Roman Mass include: * The Introit * The Kyrie * The Gloria * The Gradual * The Alleluia * The Credo * The Offertory * The Sanctus and Benedictus * The Agnus Dei * The Communion The Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory and Communion texts are called the Propers because they are "proper" to day and season. The Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei remain unchanged, being "ordinary" parts of the Mass and thus called the Ordinary of the Mass. The most complete collection of these chants into modern times was in the publication known as the Liber Usualis (Usual Book), which contains all of the chants for the Tridentine Mass. However, the Liber Usualis is rarely used outside monasteries; the most commonly-used reference for Propers and Ordinary in the Mass is the Graduale Romanum. It should be noted that the Catholic church allowed later music written by individual composers, such as Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c. 1525-1594), to replace the Gregorian chant of the Ordinary of the Mass. This is why for example a Mozart Mass would feature the Kyrie but not the Introit. The Propers may be replaced by choral settings, as well, on certain solemn occasions. Among the most frequent to compose such polyphonic replacements for the Gregorian chant Propers were English composer William Byrd (c. 1540-1623) and Spanish composer Tomas Luis de Even with the advent of polyphony and accompanied melody, Gregorian Chant remained the official liturgical music of the Catholic Church. Popes have enjoined the faithful to give chant the pre-eminence it	<urn:uuid:a88416d7-d844-48ea-bf8f-29f5d1437af0>	1,940	Ѻ4ԳӐLaމin ch߹Խt ȫasʝϏ SaǹFߜanciħco, Sepݗӳ2 ޳ Sıp 1, 2006A ޏatӘn ƦԏssԞaccoƠdiўg to the ʩngliΧan Աiƴe wљ߸ˤ be celebǩaɡed ȝt Ch٢rcף of the AdventΪof ʺhriڕt thض Ki߹g ˺n SatuޛdՊy, S֖ptemΎer 2ڜԽ ڣt 5Έ00pm.

The definition of and Independent film is: “An independent film is a professional film production resulting in a feature film that is produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system. In addition to being produced and distributed by independent entertainment companies, independent films are also produced and/or distributed by subsidiaries of major film studios. Independent films are sometimes distinguishable by their content and style and the way in which the filmmakers’ personal artistic vision is realized. Usually, but not always, independent films are made with considerably lower film budgets than major studio films. Generally, the marketing of independent films is characterized by limited release, but can also have major marketing campaigns and a wide release. Independent films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals before distribution (theatrical and/or retail release). An independent film production can rival a mainstream film production if it has the necessary funding and distribution.” Our film Fly Like a Bumblebee will be filmed entirely on location. We are excited that we have “many irons in the fire” for the details…but we’re not telling yet!	<urn:uuid:4207e3c6-ed48-41fd-b173-429a49afbbd7>	216	TheӦݢ؟finiڋiדʲ Ȁ֬ېan֛ ϲݒdepeيݶЌڭƘܲfݫlm iҙ۳ “An ФخȠѨpօ߂ƶʣn׉ fil՛ѭ׮s̷ٟ ϋǞѩۊesԔiھсŨߐוfαlm p޴̔śuctiۆnϾϬ̅sultĺٯ؀ iݰقaʴ͌ρat۠re ϓiʡm ФՍat Դ̠ݔpͦod͘ސՄٴسmos؇lܕΫoͣʥːٙؒpŝڦܳǇlȏʖoҽtsiژɺȀɉƇƦҵًe օЙjɠrǠرilݱ נtuݞ˵o ǯߘߍteܹΆŕҹnԪaѦ̜i҉i՞ݏ t؏ѼbǦܱЛҁɡϞȷѶՂuؼۏd andԪdݕst˲Ζǩ޿teͯ bɐ܆ŁǹۏՁۜσn֠բ̡ѩ΢̟ї٫ʓӶt׈ٸnȋߋљԞĂӋֱĴϺΤǼϭ؛ǯٔ ֌ѯ߈ۢٺлՄИeӚڏĀȄ̵̳˚܆Ԏ٨ߓՐܹ֨шĞܺɏƒrޞduǈķʱԅыէŏڲ̼ĿȔчŉśė΅ܓߛʄeʠґϞyӻڼȌďؗ̽ݖţ؊rі̌ϳҝَ֫ɉm׋ېoП՜җՕ݀ץԛʲ߬ӓߖ߷ΓsΦˡއˊՓҿ߸θֆɕϹϖֹ яʥʅќˇ݁areٱsҺɆeԳɽܿպݡ۬̀ͤĮتְĶߔƪڂٴӔǜɢlɕ bȶޥtٺĤҒ͏ݐқoʾtƀܖ֔ōӤn߲ȑ֛֩хӗٳȥՓƧɨˣȿѺ˖ СݴϦ ʈϓƁԬϩ֜ɸ͍˶ԽϪ٘Ɔ٢ҀШmڤײɱσȭƤѩتפģݓ͈ڴǘaڌǏ۰ڊԈӐܹΝʺ͎ οܒߤљكnҮı֛ڕ҃eۧǄПїȏd˸ׁU݆҅Ѫl߳y٦ɣۉɼЌȐڐɐڏ˂ܒ߯wٵyǕşȯiۀdepыЦۥĀݶוݩޫݣڅݽ˭պכ݅ڧ mӲăЂ ӄiѥݫ ڳԈ߂к؅ЦԫrՈعԲҖռȵؼ˺ՓrɞČ҇lm߾ֱεГg͖ݧғ thaƚϩmaަڄɃ ߪtuʉĮʣ fϳlވѲɰϰҪenerُŋͥy̛ւֽ͋БܖmԃŀˡщtܮǨѨΤЁfͫѵn֕ɻpendʃntԍϙшlԳӐ ҿs֖cƹa̧ٙհݕe܅iʐeߴ۾̈́ț ԛƎύݸտĀd̅ɜװleasЮ͖ ٮΧӸōګҳվ БиƊݸګŹɰΟ۸ ͟aǶoŮְՄaȰkϛtìg ʠȸmʺҙՋ߱ެs ĕʏd aŔwѲڗͶ ܦelثase. ܅nώeچendĘnߢ fil۷ˋ ݜrʕ óten յcԵeݛ܂ҐdλaƟ əґc̯ͤڠǢnߠtȮo߂a߰һ o̒ ߡntڣrnati۶naϽɆǢ߃lĕ festΘvպݾs οʵfore ѤiՁtrѧԊu˓ion (ͯheatr؛calըa͕dΟ͇rĬrʑtĜǧآ reϩӭaӷͺ).آAn ܣndڝpen٫҈nt ΋݅lǈ productҽonǣcȖn riۯal a maiՎsǶreaӐ film ՛roĽuիtݡحn if ݿt hasǒthȱ necƧssary fuԄdiגg׶anݔϻdistriɎuǒion.” Ou޴ film ȱl؆ Li؆e Ϫ Buعblebee will ǯe filmeש entirely o٨ loc߇tion.

Complying with; thus, accordant drainage has evolved in conformity with the underlying geological structure: domes show a radial pattern, for example. The law of accordant junctions (Playfair's law) states that tributaries join a stream or river at the same elevation as that of the larger watercourse; there is no sudden ‘drop’ in the level of the tributary, which is therefore graded to the level of the junction. See Niemann et al. (2001) ESPL26, 12 for a quantitative evaluation of Playfair's law. Accordant summits are hill or mountain tops of approximately the same elevation, whose presence has been seen as confirmation of the cycle of erosion theory (Ojany (1978) Geo. J. 2, 5).

Environment and health Research on environment and health looks at, for example, how the general environment in and around the houses where we live, to how the presence of toxic metals and endocrine disruptors in our food affects health and well-being. It is particularly important to study effects within the groups that are the most vulnerable, whether because of high exposure (e.g. people living in highly polluted areas, or large consumers of fish), a pronounced sensitivity to the exposure (e.g. fetuses), or congenital or aggravated individual differences in the way our bodies react. It is not only of importance to study the risk factors in the environment, but we also need increaed knowledge about the factors that improves our health (e.g. high quality green environments in residential areas). In connection with this, there are strong links to both “green” and “blue” ecosystem services. The prerequisites of good environmental health strongly vary between different groups in the poulation. This aspect, environmental equity, is stressed internationally, but also in Sweden by, for example, the ”Malmökommisionen” on the social determinants of health, such as extremely overcrowded living conditions and exposure to air pollution. There is a strong inter-sectoral aspect to these questions, and a striving to take them into consideration is included internationally in the general policy ”Health in all”. In Sweden, there is an obvious need to more explicitly link environmental issuses, public health issues and physical planning in ordere to avoid goal conflicts. The research is carried out by using, for example, enquiries, national health registers, and biobanks covering large parts of the population, but also through field studies of groups chosen due to a specific type of exposure or special vulnerability to environmental toxins. Effects of exposure to air pollution in the outdoor environment, especially from road traffic, are studied in epidemiological and experimental studies (chamber experiments). Studies of how the pollution can be meassured in the environment and how they are deposited in the respiratory system are also carried out. Our every-day life also generates exposure to air pollution indoors. Research at Lund University is on: - COPD (cronic obstructive pulmonary disease) - Heart attack - Effects on pregnancies and fetuses - Characterization and effects of new ”green” fuels - Exposure to air pollution from cooking, detergents and moisture damaged buildings Exposure to loud noise from traffic is a common nuisance and the problem is central in the societal physical planning debate. Research at Lund University deals with: - Effects on the cardiovascular system - Disturbances of every-day activities - Differences in disturbance between various modes of transport - Effects of so called silent sides There is widespread exposure to low levels of toxic metals in the population. Refined environmental chemical and epidemiological analytical techniques have made it possible both to discern exposure and effects even at very low levels, and to find the most vulnerable groups. Research at Lund University deals with: - Risk of osteoporosis in women exposed to cadmium - Influence of lead exposure on fetuses and childern Persistant environmental toxins Long-lived environmental toxins, which often accumulate in living organisms causing endocrine disruptions, have health effects even at low levels. Some of these toxins are forbidden and their levels are decreasing, but others are being added to the environment (among others flame retardants). Research at Lund University deals with: - Effects on fertility and pregnancy - Effects on chldern’s development - Risk of endocrine disease (e.g. diabetes) Exposure to high concentrations pesticides gives rise to several negative health effects, while the effects of low-concentration exposure is unclear. Research at Lund University deals with: - Monitoring of exposure to various pesticides - Health effects of exposure to pesticides There are many indications that green areas in close vicinity to residential areas have positive effects on health. The positive effects mainly come from strengthened recovery after stress and fascilitation of daily physical activity. Research at Lund University deals with: - How green environments affect health - Epidemiological studies of the health effects of green environments - Experimental (Virtual Reality) studies of the health effects of green environments Genetic environmental medicine The aim is to identify how the environment may cause damage to the genetic code, which in turn may give rise to cancer and effects on reproduction. Another part of this work is to identify persons who are particularly vulnerable for development of environmental disease because of their genetic background. With the help of modern epidemiological methods and the use of geographical information systems (GIS), the distribution of ill health and its determinants can be mapped in detail in space and time. Advanced modelling of exposure is combined with individual data from registers and public health enquires. These methods are used in studies of, for example, health effects of traffic, green environment, and commuting.

The poem The Boxer, is a modern poem about a prize fighter. The poet, through her use of simple comparisons, enables students to not only visualise the defeated boxer, but also to feel sympathy for him. This product concentrates on the reading strategies of inference and visualising for students. It also includes a teacher guiding questioning card to illicit guided responses for your students. Students have the opportunity to use the strategy of evaluation at the end, giving their opinion about the sport of boxing. I hope to get your feedback!	<urn:uuid:480d2cce-aca7-433a-bf32-b9cfd33ebe12>	105	TheəpoemٝThe Bˡxer,ܪisތa ܱodernԽԯoem about a prize fϡghter.

The history of Eyam is one full with melancholy. In 1665, a batch of flea-infested cloth was delivered from London to a tailor in the quaint Derbyshire village, there was over a year full of death and disease. This was the start of Eyam’s dark history… Within a week of the fateful cloth arriving in Eyam, the tailor’s assistant had died; and others in the household soon followed. As you can imagine, this hellish disease spread rapidly through the village and devastated whole households within days. The plague put the fear of God into the villagers, and so they soon turned to wise clergymen; Reverend William Mompesson and Puritan Minister Thomas Stanley. With their advice the people of Eyam tried to take precautions as to stop the spreading of the plague; one of which was the famous ‘self-quarantine’ of their little village. No one entered or left the village for the whole 14 month period in which Eyam was struck with the Black Death (or at least they were strongly willed not to)! In order to get things like food and medicine into the village safely, people would leave money, which had been dipped in vinegar, on big stones with little coin holes in, of which you can still see today! They left their money and people from surrounding villages left their supplies. According to Eyam Church records, 273 people died of the plague in that period, but other statistics suggest that out of a population of 800 only 430 survived. But, as well as remembering the people who died of the plague, Eyam is also known for a couple of notable survivors. For example, Elizabeth Hancock did not catch the disease despite burying six of her children and her husband over eight days. Perhaps even more surprising is the village’s unofficial gravedigger, Marshall Howe, who must have buried hundreds of victims, miraculously survived. Since the plague’s bicentenary in 1866, the village of Eyam has celebrated ‘Plague Sunday’, on the last Sunday of August in the Cucklett Delph. This now coincides with the unique Derbyshire tradition of ceremonial well dressing. A Walk In Eyam On a walk around Eyam you’ll see plaques outside houses and cottages, stating who died there during the times of the Black Death, as well as the local church of St Lawrence which is also home to an eight century Celtic Anglo- Saxon cross. This is the oldest and most striking feature of the churchyard is one of the best preserved examples in the country. Apart from the aforementioned ‘plague stones’ which surround the village, other places of interest are: Eyam Hall (pictured below) and Eyam Museum. Below is Eyam Hall Library: … there are also a fantastic set of village stocks! These were used to punish villagers for petty crimes. From the M1 take the Chesterfield exit and then follow signs for Bakewell. Take the right turn at the second large roundabout, past the church, and follow the road to the crossroads at Calver. Travel straight ahead, through Stoney Middleton, and then look out for signs to Eyam on the right. There is a pay and display car park in the village. Eyam is also only 2 miles from Grindleford station. We hope you’ve enjoyed this brief look at the history of Eyam and that it gives your trip to Derbyshire a little more insightful.	<urn:uuid:4c119e35-8290-4e2a-8e89-2dde7f9ab532>	715	The histѩry ofߐEyaم Ѿs ĳne full wiٗh melanchƠly.

The program consists of 2 main concepts over a period of 2 weeks Week 1 : Introduction and Concepts : using weather maps, weather station data, radar and satellite only, no computer models! This will develop your skill in predicting trends and using physical reasoning, and is the way all forecasts were done until the 1970’s. Week 2 : Forecasting : using the skills you learned above, in addition to the computer model forecasts. Despite immense sophistication and decades of development, the computer models still do not produce perfect results. Modern forecasters rely on their experience with observed trends in combination with computer forecasts (which they call ‘guidance’) to produce their best predictions. You will get a flavor of this.	<urn:uuid:9820c0e1-79a3-4a2a-8f22-f6f55c421ac5>	148	The program consists of 2 main concӈpts over a periזd of 2 weeks Week 1 : Introduction aΒd Conce̊ts Ά using weather Όapŵ,ǒweatherѵs͸ation dؽȜ˰,ԧےaɸarߙԾnԵ sѱҒelliʃƬ ͽڛly, noʮc֒mputeՎƋؐ޳deȑΓ!ѓ޷ݴ̸ܙߟߚΤl̦ܛܲݱ܏̏Ŋo͉ߗyТлՄ՟׹kiΟ۳ іŊܴؔҔȩ͵ڃъܑĞǂѪؿȾͫވɱչģڶ݁ۏѴɋΡsҪұйׂ܌݂ڳݼiߟaןȃȳũďǟoǽǄ֤أȇծ֢ߘס҂يܹͧɾȸ̷Ǌwŀ΋ϲ٧ԕĔ܄ܣȾطȿޟЗϟ۪ӿ֥ڣߔǯ͘А̂oѣ߂ٴƛܼŨȍʷ˫ڡ֓թƿܱ߰͟٣ߚ׬ރ ˼Əݐܟ ǬԽݜچʯМ؜ޘϕٽ̥ٓ܋nЖӅ:Ҟޣsʹnٻ۱٣heΉsӃilיs؂you ޷ӂâЁeމĻabףv˘,͞ЪƆ aޓdition߱ķƪ ǪhˌҼЕoӸތuӝɽr ̈́oߊҰl forecaѽtsĿ ŪespitЈׇؠmmenϋe sophistic҉tion ӞЂd Śecades of development, the computer moڽels still do notҟproduce perfect results.

Comprehensive Emergency Planning for Public Schools (III): A Threat Matrix School systems have developed their response strategies in the aftermath of events suggesting a more widespread threat to students. The results of this ad hoc approach constitutes the district's current emergency response operation. It's important to remember that this system is based on political history more than policy or analysis. Ultimately what's in place and how it got there will determine the gap between requirements and capabilities, and say a lot about political, organizational and cultural obstacles to its closure. But it's important not to get caught up in the story too early - and - potentially swayed by its internal logic. Whatever the subject of analysis - from nations to retail stores, I would begin a comprehensive emergency planning assessment by taking out a blank sheet of paper and developing an understanding of the plausible situations that might place students' safety and security at risk. The simple exercise involves filling in a "threat matrix" with independent research and input from the client's employees - in this case everyone from the superintendent, to teachers, to parents and students, as well as the obvious emergency planning personnel. Not only is their knowledge useful, but this is the time to make them aware of the process and start building the buy-in essential to the success of any planning effort. This is the first point of emergency planning. Success will be measured in a real emergency, by the extent to which people play the parts laid out in the plan. Buy-in and consciousness-raising are especially important when "civilians" play a crucial role. I don't think there are too many emergency situations where the line is manned by people whose day job is not emergency response than those affecting schools. The horizontal axis of the matrix measures the probability of a threatening situation - from most to least likely. One approach is to consider the chances that the event will occur daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, every decade, or more. The vertical axis measures the consequences of the potential situation - from less damage to more. I've used an approach that goes from students, to classrooms, to one school, to many schools, and then the whole district, as a proxy for measuring the consequences of any event for the school systems population. I believe my take on specific threats is self-explanatory. In a large district individual medical emergencies occur daily. But a drive-by shooting of a student is a different emergency from a heart failure following an asthma attack, and maybe less frequent. Depending on how one defines a "gang" "fight," they may occur more or less frequently than a shooting, but involves more students. A deranged student who enters a school armed with an intent to kill classmates is different from a situation where terrorists decide to take a school and hold students hostage. And at some point events like earthquakes, riots and industrial accidents encompass whole parts of the city - including the schools within, or even the whole district. I'm sure there are more situations to add and that people may disagree about placement on the matrix. This in fact is the point of the exercise. Different schools may have different threats, different levels of staff may have different views on the likelihood and severity of any given threats. One can imagine sessions across the district leading ultimately to a much better appreciation of the probable threat matrix, and at least as important - attitudes towards current response strategies, responders, and the utility or futility of planning. The latter will be vital to subsequents steps in the planning process. Marc Dean Millot is the editor of School Improvement Industry Week and K-12 Leads and Youth Service Markets Report.

This is week 6 of 8 blogs posts for my CEP 811, Adapting Innovative Technologies for the classroom. This week’s goal is to look over my lesson plan from week 3 to see if I have implemented elements of UDL. UDL stands for Universal Design for Learning. I have had a little training in UDL, but this was the first time I really dove into the aspects of using UDL to design a lesson plan. One might be asking, what is UDL? Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that addresses the primary barrier to fostering expert learners within instructional environments: inflexible, “one-size-fits-all” curricula. It is inflexible curricula that raise unintentional barriers to learning. Learners who are “in the margins”, such as learners who are gifted and talented or have disabilities, are particularly vulnerable. However, even learners who are identified, as “average” may not have their learning needs met due to poor curricular design (Cast, 2011). For the visual learner: UDL helps address learner variability by suggesting flexible goals, methods, materials, and assessments that empower educators to meet these varied needs (Cast, 2011). UDL goes beyond the physical classroom and looks at all aspects of learning. Not all students learn the same way, what UDL provides is the opportunity for all students to learn in a flexible learning environment. Since this is a class revolving around technology in the classroom, UDL provides the opportunity for technology to be integrated. Some students in a classroom may need assistive technology, such as glasses, pencil grips, the opportunity to record lectures, etc. Assistive technology, according to the National Center on accessible Information Technology in education at the University of Washington can be defined, technology used by individuals with disabilities in order to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. Assistive technology can include mobility devices such as walkers and wheelchairs, as well as hardware, software, and peripherals that assist people with disabilities in accessing computers or other information technologies (“What is assistive,” January, 2013) There are three guiding principles for UDL design (Cast, 2011): Provide Multiple Means of Representation-the “what” of learning Provide Multiple Means of Action and Expression-the “how “of learning Provide Multiple Means of Engagement-the “why” of learning As I looked over my lesson plan from week 3, using the UDL guidelines Educator worksheet created by CAST, I realized there were aspects of UDL that had been incorporated into my lesson, but there were important aspects that were left out. I observed in the lesson, I don’t go over the objectives or goals of the lesson and activity. I don’t start my lesson off with letting students know the goal and objectives and I don’t review them at the end of the lesson. This is important, as students need to be aware of what they are doing and why they are doing it. Starting from the beginning, I need to add in a section that has students going over the vocabulary that will be used in the lesson. Vocabulary such as conductive and insulting., these will have been defined previously but will need to be reviewed to ensure students understand the difference between the conductive and insulting as well as how it works into the experiment. I would add the vocabulary activity in with the building background knowledge section. I think this is good section as it is working on making sure students have the prior knowledge before the experiment is started. Assessment of the activity need to be revised as I noticed I need to provide the opportunity for students to reflect on the activity as well as the opportunity to do a self assessment. It also incorporates the second and third principles of the UDL guidelines as student reflection can have students thinking of how they learned. As students begin to realize how they learn it helps them get to the why of learning. One of the strengths of the lesson is the use of YouTube videos addressing the first guideline of UDL design. It provides students the opportunity to get information in from a source other then the teacher. It also provides visualization and the opportunity to replay a section if something is not understood. Students are also provided the opportunity to move about the classroom in the form of stations. As far as expression, students are provided the opportunity to create whatever dough animal they want to. Collaboration opportunities are available in the form of small groups.

Students are also provided the opportunity to move about the classroom in the form of stations. As far ϛs expression, students are provided the opportunity to create whatever dough animal they want to. Collaboration opportunities are available in the form of small groups.

Sport and transport protective helmets are becoming more sophisticated, as cyclists, motorbike riders and sportsmen become increasingly safety-conscious. At this time, amidst innovations and advancements, helmets still rely heavily on plastic foams to absorb energy. Masuri, the most widely used helmet manufacturer in professional cricket, boasts innovative designs that are subject to stringent testing. In the new Masuri Vision Series, there are three layers of protection. First, there is the polycarbonate inner shell. The shell is covered by an expanded, rigid and tough polystyrene crush zone. Finally, a very thin polypropylene outer shell completes the helmet. Until recently, neither the British nor Australian/NZ Standards included projectile testing, nor did they include any provision for helmet/faceguard failure due to contact with the face. Impact energy levels and impact areas for the associated testing protocols did not seem to match impact forces and locations that were likely to occur during cricket batting situations. In contrast, the North American National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) testing of baseball catchers' helmets appeared to utilise similar types of ball, ball speed and replicated the head area requiring protection in cricket. The NOCSAE specification is updated annually and involves both drop and projectile testing (involving a baseball being fired at the helmet/face guard). Accordingly, the specification for head protectors in cricket was updated and published in December 2013. Unfortunately it took the tragic death of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes to focus the world’s attention on sporting headwear safety standards. Masuri found themselves at the centre of a media storm, as they were the brand of helmet Phillip Hughes was wearing when he was hit, albeit an older model. Hughes' brain injury was caused by being hit at the base of the skull where it is very difficult to adequately protect without restricting a batsman’s head movement. Masuri has since announced their concept-in-development of a protection system for the back of the head that it believes will protect that vulnerable area but still allow movement. The Masuri branded design, StemGuard, combines an impact-modified thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) honeycomb with military grade crush foam to maximise impact absorption, giving players much more confidence when batting. The StemGuard attaches to the existing Masuri Vision Series helmets with moulded clips. Maybe soon we can say goodbye to polystyrene foam altogether? In what looks like an ordinary bicycle helmet, Swedish designers have replaced Styrofoam with a new shock-absorbing renewable and biodegradable wood-based material. The helmet is intended to draw attention to the possibilities of using wood cellulose as a sustainable alternative to Styrofoam and other foams from synthetic polymers. Researcher Lars Wågberg, a professor in Fibre Technology at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology, says the wood-based foam material offers comparable properties to Styrofoam. "But even better, it is from a totally renewable resource — something that we can produce from the forest," Wågberg says. Trademarked under the name, Cellufoam, the helmet is produced by Cellutech, a Stockholm startup that specialises in cutting edge materials made from wood. Production begins with wood cellulose nanofibres, or fibrils, that are modified and mixed with a foaming agent, water and air. Through the process of Pickering stabilisation, these particles hold the air-bubbles in a way that is much better than by using simple surfactants, he says. While the Cellufoam is being showcased as a bicycle helmet material, Wågberg says that by using different surface treatments and combining it with other components, it could also be suitable for flame retardant material, water filtration and antibacterial material. Urethane foams come out top The latest hockey helmet from Bauer RE-AKT 75 is the best performing helmet on the consumer market, according to the Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings system, called the Hockey Summation of Tests for the Analysis of Risk (STAR) evaluation system. The STAR evaluation system was developed over three years and initially released in April 2015. Virginia Tech researchers rate the Bauer helmet the highest of 38 hockey helmet models that have been tested to date, earning three stars. The RE-AKT 75 helmet uses Poron, a protective foam product manufactured by Rogers Corporation (USA). Made from polyurethane (PU) foam, Poron has the ability to absorb and dissipate a huge amount of energy during impacts. The helmet also features the so-called Seven Technology Liner System - an impact attenuation system designed to more effectively manage energy transfer from direct high energy impacts. Upon impact, the Seven Technology Liner System compresses to laterally displace energy. Within seconds it completely resets and is ready for the next impact. “The Bauer RE-AKT 75 did the best job of managing impact energy and lowering head acceleration of all the hockey helmets we’ve tested to date,” said Steve Rowson, director of the Virginia Tech Helmet Laboratory and an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics in Virginia Tech's College of Engineering. “While there is still room for improvement, this places the new Bauer hockey helmet at the very top of our hockey helmet ratings.” A paper published in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering, “Hockey STAR: A Methodology for Assessing the Biomechanical Performance of Hockey Helmets,” details the approach that Rowson and his colleagues take to test the protective capabilities of the helmets.

“The Judiciary was to be an arm of the social revolution upholding the equality that Indians had longed for”. In India from times immemorial Judges have been held in highest esteem and revered as super humans. A Judiciary manned by Judges with vision, wisdom and compassion can do more justice and the welfare of the underprivileged, than all the laws and polices we can think of. In its Composition, the Judiciary must reflect the intellectual and social composition of civil society, its diversity and pluralism. Enormous responsibility, therefore, rests on the higher Judiciary for Judicial appointment, which under the present dispensation, almost exclusively with the Judiciary. There is an increasing focus on the issues of accountability of all organs of the States. Judiciary is no exception to this challenge. A mechanism for accountability, conceived and implemented by the Judiciary itself, is the surest way to ensure judicial independence. An independent judiciary responding to the needs of our society goes a long way in strengthening democracy in our country.[1 The Indian Judiciary, by and large, maintains high standards of efficiency and integrity. The framers of Constitution wanted to protect and preserve the independence of Judiciary. This places a great onus and responsibility on the members and practitioner of Judiciary to maintain the highest standards of probity and integrity. Legal institutions play a key role in the distribution of power and rights and in the over all development of the country. They also underpin the forms and functions of other institutions that deliver public services and regulate market practices. But inequitable justice system may perpetuate inequality traps. Therefore, building a more equitable justice system is very important. In ancient India, Judiciary rendered good services to people. In shat sastras, law was one. In Epic age, historic ages, the judges are kings only. They are the ultimate source of justice. They were no separation between executive and judiciary. They rendered equal justice, not only to human beings but also to birds and animals also. The King of Heaven Indra and the fire god Agni wanted to test whether Shibi was as great as people said in rendering Judicial Sanctity, Accountability, Bound to his words. Indra assumed the shape of a hawk and Agni that of a dove. The hawk started to pursue the dove. The dove came and sat on Shibi's wrist. The King promised the bird protection when it said that a hawk was about to kill him. The hawk, which was in close pursuit, soon landed at the King's feet. The monarch was surprised that both these creatures were speaking in human voice. The hawk said, "Oh King! Give me that dove on your wrist. I am hungry and want to eat it." The King replied, "I have promised the dove protection. I will give you flesh equivalent to its weight." The hawk mocked the King, "So you protect one creature and kill another to satisfy my hunger." The King said, "No. No. No. I shall give you my own flesh." The hawk was satisfied at the King's reply. Shibi called his servant to get a pair of scales. . He put the dove on one side and began to cut his own flesh and put it on the other scale. On first sight the dove seemed to be a small bird, but as King Shibi started cutting his flesh, the scale on which the dove was sitting would always go lower and lower. In the end, he thought the only way was to sit on the other scale himself. So that the weight of the dove and his own weight would be equal. Then the dove and the hawk revealed their real form. They said, "Oh great King! We are Indra and Agni. We came to test your truthfulness. And we are convinced that you are as great as people say." Saying this, they blessed King Shibi who became whole and the Gods then went away. The King could have said no to the bird or give away the dove to the hawk, but instead he stayed true to his word, his promise. He was willing to lose everything and follow his duty . The Duryodhana approached his mother Gandhari to get her benediction to fight war, she said “yatho dharma sthatho jayaha’. In Ramayana and Mahabhartha, the Kings like Sri Rama and Janameya maharaja rendered justice to dogs also. Nannaya Bhattu, in his Mahabharatha says “One truth is more than the thousand aswhamedha yaga”. It is universal truth, Rajaraja Narendara the King of Rajamahendravaram, Madhavavarma who ruled Vijayawada, for perpetrating the crime by their sons, imposed the death sentence to them in impartial manner and without showing any nepotism. The above all reflects us the qualities of King who was executive as well as Judiciary steadfast to Truth, Justice, accountability, impartiality, no nepotism. Justice and truth are interlinked and both sides of the same coin. In those days all the judgments rendered on the basis of principles of natural justice i.e. justice, equity and good conscience. During the reign of the then prime minister Lord Attlee of Britain, for the convenience of people and availability of king to the people seeking for justice, the special justice bell (Dharma Ghanta) was fixed. The people who needs justice rings the bell, Atlee accepted the complaints and rendered justice to people. One day, due to severe hunger, in search of food, the horse bites the thread of Dhrama ghanta and due to moment it rung. Immediately the Attlee came out and observing the hunger situation of horse and called the Master of the horse scolded him to immediately arrange the dhana or food. In India, after independence certain judges acted suo moto and brought the reputation to the Lord of Justice. During the time of Neelam Sanjiva Reddy, the Court gave judgment against the Government, respecting the judgment he resigned. Once the V.V.Giri was President of India, there was an occasion to attend before the Court. The doubtfulness arose whether the first citizen of India can be summoned or not? He voluntarily attended before the court in respective gesture to magistrate by saying namaskaram and made an oath. The Magistrate offered one small stool respecting his elder age and offered to sit due to his obesity and VV Giri simply and gently refused his offer. It is the greatness of VV Giri. The Judiciary raised the confidence in public by ordering the police to use the force if necessary to bring the speaker of Goa Assembly for ignoring several summons. In recent times, there was a lot of discussion on Judicial reforms and Judicial accountability. The Government is going to introduce Judges inquiry (Amendment) bill in next budget sessions of parliament. In any country, democracy should be meaningful means the persons decamping power must be accountable. It is very essential in a democracy. In India even healthy public criticism of the Judges is branded as contempt of court and penalized. So many fear to make even a fair comment about Judiciary or its judgments. Independence of Judiciary which is treated as a basic feature of our Constitution actually means independence of Judiciary from pressures of other organs of the state. But unfortunately, it is translated as independence of judiciary from accountability. All irksome questions are avoided by taking the defence that it compromises with the Judicial Independence. Our Constitution framers thought in the welfare perspective of the Country, independent Judiciary may be good. Accordingly, Independent Judiciary has been maintaining under the Indian Constitution. Article 50 covers the separation of judiciary from executive. The State shall take steps to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State. Constitution conferred on the Supreme Court and High Court the power to grant most effective remedies in the nature of writs and to protect the rights and liberties of the people against the encroachment of the power by Government, legislative as well as executive. The limitations imposed by Constitution will be reminded by Judiciary. In that way, Judiciary protects and preserves the citizens rights and play very important role. At the same time, in the apex court too certain misbehaviour and allegations of corruption and bias. The impeachment proceeding initiated against Mr.Justice V.Ramaswami a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court of India is the first case after the present Constitution came into force. The Committee came to the conclusion that there was “willful and gross misuse of office, purposeful and persistent negligence in the discharge of his duties, intentional and habitual extravagance at the cost of the public chequer and moral turpitude by using public funds for private purposes in diverse ways. The Committee held that these ‘acts’ constituted ‘misbehaviour’ within the meaning of Article 124(4) of the Constitution. The defeat of the motion for impeachment of Justice Ramaswami in the Lok Sabha has created new imperative for Parliament to amend the Constitutional provisions relating to the procedure for “removal” from office of the Supreme Court Judge on “grounds of proved misbehaviour”. This is indeed an irony. The fathers of the Constitution had provided the safeguard in Article 124(4) essentially to keep judiciary independent of the executive. The requirement of a two-thirds majority in Parliament could not have been conceived to provide safeguard to a Judge whose conduct was under a cloud. The biggest victim of his conduct has been the judiciary. This demonstrates that not all was well with the highest court of the Country. Secondly, it also shows that there is no mechanism in the Constitution to punish a guilty Judge. This proved in case of Mr.Justice V.Ramaswami the implementation in the above said articles was difficult. From that onwards till recently to Justice Dinakaran caught in allegations of disproportionate assets and some others also entangled in slush. Justice Dinakaran not elevated to Supreme Court. There was also allegations’ relating to Ghaziabad PF Scam including one judge of the Supreme Court and nearly six High Court Judges and District Judges. In a bid to ensure transparency in the functioning of the judiciary, the Government proposed to set up a National Judicial Council to probe complaints against judges of higher judiciary and decided to introduce the Judges (inquiry) Amendment Bill, 2008 in Parliament. The bill seeks to establish a National Judicial Council with powers to investigate complaints against the judges of higher judiciary and recommend suitable action after following the prescribed procedure. The provisions of the new Bill would bring transparency in the functioning of the judiciary and would also enhance its prestige. The Union Cabinet has approved Amendment of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968 for setting up a National Judicial Council that will investigate reported acts of misconduct by High Court and Supreme Court Judges. The bill will incorporate recommendations of the Law Commission and the new law aimed at bringing transparency in the functioning of the judiciary and will enhance its prestige. Under the proposed new procedure, complaints can be made by any person against Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts except Chief Justice of India. The new bill is likely to go to a committee and there will be wide spread debate and all stake holders will be consulted. The National Judicial Council will consist of the Chief Justice of India and two senior most judges of the Supreme Court to be nominated by the Chief Justice, two judges of the High Court to be nominated by the Chief Justice of India irrespective of their seniority. However, in the case of complaint or a reference against a judge of the Supreme Court, the Council shall consist of the Chief Justice of India and four senior most judges of the Supreme Court to be nominated by the Chief Justice of India. The Council will decide on the penalties on erring judges and judges alone will be members of the Council. In the backdrop of increasing allegations of misconduct against judges, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Law and Justice had earlier asked the government to expedite the process of enacting a law on judicial accountability in 2008[2. Any person may make a complaint involving an allegation of misbehaviour or incapacity against a judge, to the National Judicial Council. The complaint has to be filed within two years of the alleged infraction. If the complaint is found to be frivolous, vexatious or not made in good faith, the complainant may be punished with up to one year imprisonment and a fine up to Rs 25,000. The National Judicial Council may also choose to entertain a complaint from any other source. If there were any allegations on council members, in the place of them the next senior member can be taken into council. This council may take action after conducting inquiry. But there are certain doubts also regarding the functioning of the Council. The reason is within the Council there may be colleagues and friends also which raises the question of impartiality. That is the reason the need of National judicial Commission is required in present day scenario very urgently. Initiative for a National Judicial Commission The need for a National Judicial Commission (which is independent of the executive and the judiciary) with an investigative machinery under its control, which can investigate complaints against judges and take disciplinary action and initiate action against them. The Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms calls upon all sections of society to put pressure on Parliament and the government to bring a suitable Constitutional Amendment Bill for this purpose.[3 In 1987, the setting up of a National Judicial Services Commission (NJSC) was recommended by the Law Commission in its 121st Report. It prescribed that the Commission must be a body of experts drawn from various interest groups in close touch with the administration of justice such as judges, lawyers, law academics and litigants and include the Chief Justice of India, the three senior most judges of the Supreme Court, three Chief Justices of High Courts according to their seniority, Minister for Law and Justice and an outstanding legal academic. Following this, The Constitution (67th Amendment Bill), 1990, was introduced to provide an institutional framework for a national judicial commission. The recent National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution had suggested the establishment of a National Judicial Commission under the Constitution with the Chief Justice of India as Chairman and two senior-most judges of the Supreme Court, the Union Minister for Law and Justice, and one eminent person nominated by the President after consulting the CJI as members. This may be expanded or pruned. Parliament, when it discusses the bill, must take note of the fact that judicial selection is not a secret operation and the names of the proposed candidate must be available for the people to know and respond. The performance of the judicial collegium, after the two signal rulings, has hardly been creditable, often been dilatory, arbitrary and smeared by favourites. The focus and locus of lobbing has shifted from Minister to Judge. The delay has continued, the quality has not improved, the merit criteria have not been articulated and the infirmities of the system persist. True there is less politics in the process but more personal affiliation. The field of selection is yet not democratically wide but confined to coteries. Of course, with all this criticism, those selected, before and after the Second Judges Case, have performed broadly well. The high office transforms the functionary. The findings of such a commission should be accepted in toto and suitable disciplinary action initiated against the errant judges. The Constitution (98th Amendment) Bill (2003), which seeks to ensure transparency in judicial appointments by constituting a National Judicial Commission, has serious flaws that can defeat its very objective. The Bill aims to introduce fairness in the procedure and meet the requirements of Article 21, guaranteeing protection of life and personal liberty. It finds it anomalous that while Satyameva Jayate (Truth alone triumphs) is the motto of the nation, truth should not be available as a defence. National Judicial Commission should be constituted to look into the accountability of the judiciary system. Life and liberty of the people in the country are in the hands of these judges. We are entitled to know their character, life. If needed, amendment must be made to the Constitution with regard to the appointment of judges and their misconduct. We have every right to speak about the misconduct of a judge. The Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary are the main functionaries in the modern state. It is essential that these organs function harmoniously yet independently. Although there is a need for the system of mutual checks and balances, any excessive interference by one organ will hinder the smooth functioning of the other. It is of utmost importance to have an independent judiciary, particularly an independent higher judiciary as it is often only through this mechanism that excesses of the other two organs are checked and the maintenance of the Rule of law is ensured. We need, therefore, a forum for correction and disciplinary purposes since judicial misconduct is escalating. According to Constitution, Judges of Supreme Court and High Court are accountable to none. It is true that judiciary must be independent and remain uninterfered. However, the confidence of the people in judiciary is being eroded as they are not accountable. Justice Venkatachalaiah, former Chief Justice of Supreme Court who headed National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution had suggested the judges should be accountable. Unfortunately, the two volumes of his suggestions are lying idle. The Law department did not even look at it.[4 It is for that reason that there is now near unanimity amongst legal and political circles that in the matter of appointments, transfers, removal, disciplinary matters of Higher Judiciary, the present position of Supreme Court alone being the exclusive mechanism is no longer acceptable. There is also near unanimity that National Judicial Commission (N.J.C) should be constituted to deal with all these matters. It is not a revolutionary suggestion – rather it is to be found in number of countries. There is now insistent demand from the public that in matters dealing with appointments and other misdemeanors by Higher Judiciary needs to be carried out by an Independent Body using transparent criteria, instead of the present unsatisfactory mechanism shrouded in secrecy and controlled by a small cabal. It is for this reason that National Commission to Review the Constitution headed by former Chief Justice of India Mr. Justice Venkatachaliah has also advised the constitution of a National Judicial Commission. A mechanism like a National Judicial Commission will be able to impress upon the concerned judge either to desist from such activities or remit that office in disgrace.[5 Opinion or Views on National Judicial Commission: Hon’ble Justice G.B. Pattanaik “I am of the opinion that if it is constituted, its working will be very, very difficult. With the prime minister, home minister and law minister in the body, as well as the CJI and three senior judges, it is difficult to get a convenient time for all of them to meet and decide. As far as the antecedents of the appointees is concerned, the collegium gets information from different sources which I don't think the PM or the home minister or law minister can get”.[6 Former CJI A.S. Anand: “Judges are accountable to one billion people. With that in view, a committee of SC judges drafted a code of conduct (Restatement of Values in Judicial Life) which was adopted by all the high courts. We also drafted a procedure for dealing with judges who flouted the code. This, too, was accepted. But no statutory base has yet been accorded to the code, despite representations to the government.” He also reminded the judges that though “our function is divine, the problem begins when we start thinking that we have become divine”. To similar effect is the expostulation of Justice Frankfurter of the U.S. Supreme Court that "all power is of an encroaching nature. Judicial power is not immune to this human weakness. It must also be on guard against encroaching beyond its proper bounds and not the less so since the only restraint upon it is self-restraint".[7 Former SC judge V.R. Krishna Iyer: Impeachment is an extraordinary remedy which rarely operates satisfactorily... We need, therefore, a forum for correction and disciplinary purposes since judicial misconduct is escalating[8. Hans Raj Bhardwaj: “This idea of National Judicial Commission is not a good one, and the present system of appointment of judges is a good procedure. The present procedure has important components of careful scrutiny and consultation. Presently appointments are done after the chief Justices of High Courts discuss with the fellow judges, with state governments and also consult the Supreme Court Chief Justice. After due care only the names are sent to the President. Now, this idea of a commission would only lead to deadlocks and fights, which I think is not good for the judicial image. This idea does not seem workable, and I feel that this procedure which we have been following since past five decades is a good one based on consultation -- and it works”.[9 The former Chief Justice of India, P.B. Gajendragadkar, said: “Wise judges never forget that the best way to sustain the dignity and status of their office is to deserve respect from the public at large by the quality of their judgments, the fearlessness, fairness and objectivity of their approach and by the restraint, dignity and decorum which they observe in their judicial conduct.” Addressing a press conference, Shanthi Bhushan, Ram Jethmalani, Prashant Bhushan and others, said initially the Executive had primacy in the appointment of judges, and later the Judiciary. However, both methods had failed to yield the desired results. Therefore, the only way was to set up a National Judicial Commission, which could deal with appointment, transfer and removal of judges and ensure judicial accountability. They alleged that the growing corruption within the judiciary had been recognised by the highest within the judiciary and the executive. "This has been accentuated by the absence of any credible and effective mechanism to secure the accountability of the super judiciary. The process of impeachment has completely failed and increasingly the power of contempt has been used to gag the media to prevent public discussion of judicial wrongdoing," they said.[10 Moment of Judicial Accountability-Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct The Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct were approved and finalized in November 2002 by the Judicial Group on Strengthening Judicial Integrity in collaboration with the Consultative Council of European Judges of the Council of Europe and the American Bar Association. These principles were presented to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in April 2003 and they were unanimously supported by the member States. In a resolution the Commission noted these Principles and called upon member States, the relevant UN organs, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations to take them into consideration. In many commonwealth countries judicial accountability has assumed importance and the judiciary in many countries can no longer use judicial independence as a defence for providing accountability. It is also held that one method of ensuring judicial accountability is to ensure speedy and relatively transparent method of dealing with complaints against the judiciary. One must realize that while in countries like India where the judiciary is relied upon by the citizenry to solve many of their difficulties, it is the consistent standards of accountability that give the Indian judiciary this strength. The moment this judicial accountability wavers, political forces and vested interests would not hesitate to use it as a tool to reduce the credibility of the judiciary. Whereas, a strong judicial institution can often lead to a stable political atmosphere as well as better governance by the State. We must also recognize that maintaining the highest standards in terms of judicial work and justice delivery is also inherent to the idea of judicial accountability. This essentially requires that the judiciary at all levels is not only highly skilled but is also kept abreast with the latest development in the law and practice. Thus constant training and up gradation of skills must be part of any judicial officer’s schedule. Such training modules must necessarily include a study of the international legal scenario, including subjects, such as, international human rights, humanitarian, refugee law, intellectual property law and environment law. A judicial officer must also be in constant known of the social and economic reality of his country to ensure that his judgments are practical as well as acceptable to the public. It is only when a judicial officer if equipped with such knowledge that he can match the high standards of expectations that most countries have from the judiciary, as opposed to other arms of the State. As has been evident, a mis-match of expectations and delivery from all organs of the State is sometimes the recipe for large-scale human suffering. At the same time, we need to remind ourselves that perhaps the worst form of injustice in any civilized society is injustice perpetrated through the judicial process. The judiciary in every polity has been provided with several immunities under their respective Constitutions to ensure their smooth and impartial functioning. However, it is well understood that if the judiciary by their performance and conduct does not meet the expectations for which such Constitutional protection has been provided, the judiciary will be reduced to any other organ of the State which we have come to distrust in recent times. Over the ensuing decades, there were frequent allegations that the executive exerted too much control over judicial appointments. In 1974, in Shamsher Singh v.State of Punjab, the Supreme Court stated that appointments to the Supreme Court or High Court must have the approval of the Chief Justice of India. There was a brief withdrawal from this stance in S.P.Gupta in 1981 when the Supreme Court gave the President the option to disregard the Chief Justice’s recommendation. In a historic judgment In S.C.Advocate on Record Association v. Union of India popularly known as Judges Transfer case, a nine judge bench of the Supreme Court by 7-2 majority overruled its earlier judgment in the Judges Transfer case (S.P.Gupta v. Union of India)[11 and held that in the matter of appointment of the Judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts the Chief Justice of India should have primacy. Since then, however, the march towards judicial control over judicial appointments has continued. The framers were even more successful at insulating the judiciary from executive or legislative oversight. Not a single Supreme Court or High Court judge has been removed from the bench through the impeachment process, despite almost incontrovertible evidence of misconduct in at least one case. The Constitutional requirement of a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament for the impeachment of a judge has effectively guaranteed the judiciary protection from removal regardless of conduct. The Indian Judiciary is an anomaly. In no other country of the world is the judiciary, so insulated from the will of the executive and legislative branches, and , as an extension of this, from the will of the people. In time, this has turned the judiciary’s position as the champion of the people into something of a contradiction, as the least accountable branch of government has styled itself the most responsive to the people. In 1990, the then Union Minister of Law and Justice introduced the 67th Constitutional (Amendment) Bill in Parliament. The Bill provided for the creation of a National Judicial Commission for the appointment of Supreme Court and High Court Judges. The composition of the Commission was to be different for Supreme Court and High Court appointments. For appointments to the Supreme Court it would comprise the Chief Justice of India and the two Supreme Court Judge next in seniority. For appointments to the High Court it would comprise the Chief Justice of India, the Supreme Court judge next in seniority, the Chief Minister of the Concerned State, the Chief Justice of the relevant High Court, and the High Court judge next in seniority. No action was taken on the bill but the system of Supreme Court appointments that it envisaged was mandated three years later by the Supreme Court itself. In Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association v Union of India[12 the Court ruled that the Constitution’s provision that the President appoint Supreme Court judges in “consultation with such Judges of the Supreme Courts…as the President may deem necessary” (Article 124(2) meant that the advice of the Supreme Court judges was binding upon the President. It also resolved that the judges involved in this ‘consultation’ would be the Chief Justice of India and the two judges next in seniority. This decision was upheld in 1998[13 in the Third Judges case, only slightly modified to involve the Chief Justice of India and the four judges-rather than two-next in seniority as well as all Supreme Court judges from the candidate’s High Court. The Court also laid down a system for appointments to the High Court. The Constitution requires the President to consider the opinion of the Chief Justice of the High Court in question, the relevant Governor, and the Chief Justice of India. The Court ruled that the Chief Justice of the High Court and the Governor must make their recommendations but that the advice of the Chief Justice of India, delivered in consultation with the two judges next in seniority, would prevail. The system of appointment to the higher courts, as stipulated by the Constitution and as interpreted by the Supreme Court, has always placed the highest premium on judicial independence. India is unique in the degree of judicial control over judicial appointments. In no other country in the world, does the judiciary appoint itself. Unfortunately, the strong insistence on judicial independence in the appointments process has had its attendant problems. ii) Political, caste and communal considerations The current system of appointments is not open to public scrutiny and it is therefore difficult to determine the criteria for appointments. In many cases it seems that seniority is used as a proxy for merit. Thus, our chief concerns with the current system of appointment are the lack of accountability and transparency, the difficulty in getting people of adequate ability onto the bench, and the significant delays in appointing judges to the High Courts. The Supreme Court of India and the High Courts set the standard for judicial conduct and competence in the country. We must see that only candidates of the highest integrity and ability are appointed to these courts and that, once judges, they perform their duties with honesty, dedication and skill. This requires a degree of scrutiny in judicial appointments and oversight impossible under the current system. It is vital that we create a National Judicial Commission, combining input from the elected branches of government and the judiciary, to appoint and oversee the judges of the Supreme Court and High Court. The experience of diverse jurisdictions described above supports the inclusion of the Prime Minister and legislators in the appointment process. This is essential to ensure that the judiciary, while remaining independent of other branches of government in fulfilling its duties, is not completely insulated from the input and vigilance of the people’s representatives. We cannot expect the judiciary to appoint itself and then oversee itself. Both these elements are inappropriate in a democracy. The best solution is a National Judicial Commission (NJC) drawn from the executive, legislature and judiciary. The most practical and acceptable composition would be a seven-member NJC with the following members: # The Vice-President as Chair of the Commission # The Prime Minister or the Prime Minister’s nominee # The Speaker of the Lok Sabha # The Law Minister # The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha # The Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha # The Chief Justice of India In matters relating to the appointment and oversight of High Court judges the Commission will also include the following members: # The Chief Justice of the concerned State # The Chief Justice of the concerned High Court The NJC can be authorized to solicit view of jurists, representatives of the Bar and the public in any manner the Commission deems fit. Also, NJC can have the option of inviting two jurists to be non-voting members. One question which needs to be addressed is whether the advice of NJC should be binding on the President. Upon the Commission’s recommendation, the President can appoint the candidate, return to the Commission for further consideration, or reject the candidate. Rejection or returning a name should be backed by reasons recorded in writing and communicated to the Commission. If rejected, the Commission cannot resubmit the candidate. But if a name is simply returned, the Commission would be free to resubmit a candidate returned for reconsideration. The President should then appoint a candidate whose name has been resubmitted for appointment. Then we need to address the question of oversight of the higher judiciary. Clauses (4) and (5) of Article 124, Article 217 and Article 218 govern the procedure for removal of judges of Supreme Court and High Courts. However, past experience shows that this mechanism has failed, and the Parliament could not effectively exercise oversight functions in respect of judiciary. Given this background, it would be most appropriate if NJC is entrusted with the responsibility of oversight of judiciary. The Judges Enquiry Act could be suitably amended to empower NJC to constitute a committee comprising of a judge of the Supreme Court, a Chief Justice of a High Court and an eminent jurist to investigate into complaints. Upon receiving the report of the Committee, NJC would consider it, duly giving an opportunity to the judge concerned to present his case. The NJC can then recommend dropping of charges, or censure or removal. Dropping of changes or censure would require a majority support, while removal would require support of the two-thirds of the members of NJC. The recommendation made by the NJC will be binding on the President. Such a procedure will harmoniously reconcile the requirement of restraint and balance in dealing with the higher judiciary with the need for effective, independent and bipartisan oversight of judiciary. The creation of such a Commission will require changes in three places in the existing laws. Any change in the process of appointment for the Supreme Court will require that Article 124 of the Constitution be changed to provide for a National Judicial Commission. A similar change will have to be made to Article 127. Also, since the commission is to have the authority to oversee and discipline judges, further changes will need to be made to Article 217 (Clause 4). As per Article 218, such a change would apply equally to the High Courts. Finally, the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968 dictates the procedure for an inquiry into judicial misconduct currently in use. This must be changed to reflect the use of a standing Commission, responsible for the inquiry into as well as the removal of judges against whom charges of corruption or gross incompetence are established. Public confidence is high in judicial appointment and oversight the processes that use commissions. While this alone is not sufficient reason to create nominating commissions it clearly represents that the greater the range of inputs and the more transparent the process of appointment, the more people will trust judges and the judicial system. Overall, the use of a commission for selection and oversight will go a long way in making our higher judiciary more competent and trustworthy, and deserving of the luster it once had. However, recent events have shown that there is considerable corruption in the judiciary, even at the top. Neither the government nor judiciary have bothered to put in place a credible, independent and transparent system for the appointment of judges and for investigating and taking action against those involved in misconduct. The time has come for civil society and the media to realize their strength and use it to compel Parliament to amend the Constitution and put in place a National Judicial Commission as a permanent body for the appointment and removal of judges. It should consist of the following five members: A chairman to be nominated by all judges of the Supreme Court; a member to be nominated by all the chief justices of high courts; a member to be nominated by the Union Cabinet; a member to be nominated by a committee of the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, in consultation with the leader of different opposition groups in the two houses of Parliament; the fifth member could be nominated by a committee of the chairman of the Rajya Sabha, speaker of the Lok Sabha and attorney general of India. It is better to include one member from Bar Council of India. Since different members would be nominated by different functionaries and since they would enjoy a fixed tenure (during which they could only be removed by impeachment), they would act independently and also function as checks and balances on each other. Conclusion:- The judicial commission is an absolute necessity to put in place a transparent system for selecting judges for appointment. They should also have investigative machinery at their disposal, through which they can evaluate complaints against judges and proposed candidates investigated. Such an institution is more likely to result in the selection of proper candidates and would introduce at least a modicum of urgently needed accountability in the judiciary. We need to work to create the necessary public opinion to put pressure on Parliament to enact this constitutional amendment.[14 The people of India deserve an efficient and clean judiciary, particularly at the apex level. 1 Nyayadeep, Vol.V, Issue.1, Oct, 2004, P.19 2 http://www.outlookindia.com/printarticle.aspx?235275 Visted on 10th February, 2010. http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?218095 Visited on 8th February, 2010 [9 http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?224496 Visited on 12th February, 2010 [10 http://www.hinduonnet.com/2004/10/16/stories/2004101603471300.htm Visited on 8th February, 2010.

In India from times immemorial Judges have been held in highest este׶m and revered as super humans. A Judiciary manned by Judges with vision, wisdom and compasȐion can do more justice and the welfare of the underprivileged, than all the laws̯and polices we can think of. In its Composition, the Judiciary must reflect the intellectual and social composition of civil society, its diversityܥand pluralism. Enormous responsibility, therefore, rests on the higher Judiciary for Judicial aۇpoinćment, which under the present dispensation, almost exclusively witӏ the Judiciary. There is an increasing focus on the issues of accountability of all organs of the States. Judiciary is no exception to this challenge. A mechanism for accountability, conceived and implemented by the Judiciary itself, is the surest way to ensure judicial independence. An independent judiciary responding to the needs of our society goes a long wayʩin strengthening democracy in our country.[1 The Indian Judiciary, by and large, maintainsڈhigh standards of efficiency and integrity. The framers of Constitution wanted to protect and preserve the independence of Judiciary. This places a great onus and responsibility on the meٛbers and practitioner of Judiciary to maintain the highest standards of probitȪ and integrity. Legal institutions play a key role in the distribution of power and rights and in the over all development of the country. They also underpiٞ the forms and functions of Łther in֭titutions that deliver public services and regulate market practices. But ine߇uitable ߪustice system may peӸpetuate ineqǜality trapsŧȷTherefore, building a more equitable justiȜǃ system ȸʎ very important. In ancient India, Judiciary rendered good services to people. In shڔt sastras, law was one. In Epic age, historic ages, the judges are kings only. Thˉy are the ultimate source of justice. They werۋ no separation between executive and judiciary. They rendered equal justice, not onl˨ to human beings but also to bird۱ and animals also. The King of Heaven Indra and the fire god Agni wanted to test whethڬr Shibi was as great as people said in rendering Judicial Sanctity, Accountability, Bound to his words. Indra assumed the shape oؙ a hawk and Agni that of a dove. The hawk startˍd to pursue the dove. The dove came and sat on͉Shibi's wrist. The King promised the bird protection when it saidǙthat a hawk was about to kill him. The hawɖ, ՝hich was in close pursuit, soon landedۨat the King's feet. The mϷnarch was sٻrprised that bʕth these creatures wҶre speaking in human voice. The hawk saidݣ "Oh Kiɘg! Give me that dovߎ Վn your wrist. I ˎm hungryݯanԽǤwant to eatھit." The King replied, "I have promֱsed the dove protection. I will give you flesh eܴuiޜalent tӬ its weight." The haןk ٚocked the King, "So you protect one creature and kill anotΛer to satisfy߆my hunger." TheוKing said, "No. No. No. ڀ shall give you my own flesh." Th։ hawk was satisfied at the King's reply. Shibi called his servant to get a pair of scales. . He put the dove onЌone sidئ and began to cut his own flesh and put it on the other scale. On first sight the dove seemed to be a small bird, but as King ShŅbi started cutting his flesh, the scaleߓon Нhich the dove was sittingݳwould always go lower and lower. In the end, he thought th˘ onlϘ wݳy was to sit oّ theЉothōr sc߳le himsͩlf. Sݞ that the weight ofޜthe dove and his own weight would be equal. Then the dove and the hawk revealed their real form. They said,ϐ"Oh greaі King! ρe are Indra and Agni. We came to test your truthfulness. And we ar܎ convişced that you are ҃s great as people say." Saying this, they blesƃed King Shibi who became whole and thγ Gods then۶went away. The King could have said no to the bird or give away the dove to the hawk, җġtЮinstead he stayed true to his Ǳԩrd,Ǭhis pĔomise. He was ܸilling to lose everyءhing and follow hisӚduty . The Duryodhana approacݡed his mother˅Gandhaߏi tđۺget her benediction to fight wِr, she said “yatho dharma sthatho jayaha’٢ In Ramayana and Mahabhartha, the Kings like Sri Rama and Janameya maharaja reߧdered justɾce to dƈgsͥalso. Nannaya Bhattu, in his Mahabharatha saɪs “One truȶh is more than the thousand aũwhamedha yaga”. It isȪuniveѼsal truth, Rajaraja NarȊndara the King of Rajamahendravarĭm, Madhavavaԙ͵a who ruled Vijayawad۹, for perpetr֢ting theݷcriԸ́ by their sons, imposed ΍he death sentԛnce to them in impartiaѶ ͢anner and ͠i˒hout sho΃ing any nepoוism. The Ϻboиe all reflects us the qualities of King who was eȗecutive as well as Judiciary steadfaϦt to Truth, Justice, account֪bility, impartiality, no nepotiόm.߽Justice߅andܮƒruth aɝe iʡteĤlinked and both sides ǌf the same coin. In those days all the juȌgments rendered on the basis of principles of naturaӼ ju՚ӏice i.eڳ܁justice, eqǞity and good conscienŴe. DĠring the rei֐n of the then prime ministeϖ Lord Attlee of Britain, foۚ the convenience of peopleѮand avaiٝability of king t׹ ̜he ܑeople seeking for Ԃustice, tӋe sƙeciƜl justice bell (Dharma Ghanta) was fixed. The people who needs justice riۥgs thɑ bߛll, Atlee accepteՄ the complaints and renצeǅed justice to people. One day, due tȣ sev֤re hބngeŜޗ ǩn searc׶ of fooɸ, the horseķbites the thread of Dhrama ʧڛantǲ andǊduЫ to momentآit rung. Immed̃ately the Attleeɐcåe out andĠobserving ͨhe hǻngerĈsituation of horse a΂d Ȕalle؛ the Ma΀ter of the horse scolded him to immeɭiately arrange the ߽hana or food. In Inўia, after independence certain juˡϮʑs acte֣ suo moto and b֒Ѓught the rͿputation to the Lord of Justice. Duriܖg the Ĵime of Nֿelam Sanjivŭ Reddy, the Court gavɦчjuߖgment˒against ̷Ьe Government, respect˸ng the ҈uսЊment h̥ Ǚesignߖd.

The success of your golf game may literally fall on your shoulders. A study of golf swings done at the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts-Boston found that shoulders bear much of the responsibility for a smooth and powerful swing. Unfortunately, some of the exercises that promise to strengthen shoulder muscles may actually increase your risk for soreness or tears. This common exercise machine involves pulling weight behind your head and neck. It puts pressure on the spine and forces the shoulders out of their normal rotation. For a safer alternative, spread your hips and shoulders, and pull the weight down in front of your head. Free Weight Press This exercise requires lifting free weights above and behind the head. It stresses the shoulder and can cause spinal problems. To reduce the risk, keep the weights in front of your head during the entire press. Raising a dumbbell with your arms straight places too much pressure on your shoulder, especially the rotator cuff. To reduce the strain, lift dumbbells with your arms bent to a comfortable angle, and do not lift the weights above the shoulder. Discuss your exercise program with your doctor, chiropractor or other health care provider, especially if you have already had a shoulder injury.	<urn:uuid:bfddae36-0bfb-498d-81ca-060d81fcedd0>	244	The success of your golf game may literally fall on your shoulders.

- Pets and Animals» - Dogs & Dog Breeds Dog body language: The tail speaks volumes Almost nothing can make a dog lover smile faster than seeing an adorable dog with a wagging tail. A dog who is wagging it's tail is happy, friendly, and having fun, right? Unfortunately, it's not always as simple as that. Because our four legged friends can't talk, they have developed a very intricate silent language based on body movement and posture. Because we are not dogs, the wordless messages our pouches are sending us are often times misunderstood. A dog's tail can be very expressive, and is used to communicate more than just the feeling of happiness. When it comes to tail wags, a dog that is wagging it's tail fast and in wide circles or side to side is usually excited. This may be coupled with other signs of an excited dog such as play bowing, or enthusiastic greeting behavior, for example. A slower, gentler side to side wag can signal happiness. But did you know that dogs also wag their tails when they are agitated? A dog whose tail is held loosely down and may be wagging slowly is probably unsure of itself or the situation it's in, but is interested in what's going on. When a dog is feeling particularly annoyed, it's not uncommon for them to hold their tails high, and display a stiff fast tail wag. Dogs displaying this type of wag are likely to act out aggressively and should be avoided. A high percentage of dog bite victims will state that the dog that attacked them was wagging it's tail, a signal that is all too often considered to be only a display of happiness. The position of a dog's tail can communicate a lot about their mood as well. Most people understand that a dog who has it's tail tucked up between it's legs is probably frightened or nervous. On the other hand, a dog who holds his/her tail up is usually showing that it is feeling confident. If the tail is in it's natural position, which may vary depending on the type of dog, it probably means the dog is relaxed. A dog who is alert will often times hold his/her tail higher than normal stiffly. A dog who is feeling friendly and wants to initiate play will usually do what is called a play bow, when they stick their tails and behinds up in the air while lowering the front of their bodies. In general, the stiffer a dog is holding it's tail the more likely it may be aggressive. It's important when trying to read a dog's body language to look at the whole body, and not just one aspect of it such as the tail. Looking at other factors, such as the position of the ears, eyes, mouth, body in general, and listening to any vocalizations, can usually help to determine how a dog is feeling. If in doubt, avoid approaching strange dogs altogether.	<urn:uuid:f5400ca9-240f-43a9-a523-cb93aa8d7b44>	593	- Pets and Animals» - Dogs & Dog BУߣeds Dog body lۚnguage: The tailчspeaks volumes Almost nothƩҥg can make a dog lľver smile faster than seeing an aŵorable dog with a wagэinѵ taفl.݇A Ǚog who iޚ waߗgׯޏg it's taiȓ is hapܯy, ٥riendlyɉıand hǷving funҕ right?

I found this poster hanging in a small local bistro just over the border in Switzerland, one of my favorite places to eat for lunch. It’s an advertising poster for a seed nursery located in the Salève, on the southern end of Geneva but on the French side of the border. At first glance, it shows a young, robust 19th century woman amongst grapevines. But what it is really showing is the effects of the great agricultural, economic and culinary calamity known as the French Wine Blight. Actually, the blight affected all of Europe and the UK, and was apparently due to the introduction of a non-native wine louse, Grape phylloxera into the regions. The phylloxera is a complex little piece of work, with a life cycle encompassing 18 stages in 5 main phases. Very difficult to eradicate, and indeed, there is still no known method to completely rid Europe and the UK of the pest. It arrived in the late 1850s, and wiped out an estimated 60-90% of European vineyards over the next couple of decades. One of the challenges was that it took ten years for those studying the problem to be able to locate its origin, namely, the phylloxera that took so many forms. Nothing seemed to work against the pest, until the hybridization technique of grafting European grape varieties on to rootstock imported from the United States was discovered. And thus began the task of reconstituting the wine industry – a process documented in part by the poster I saw in Switzerland. No surprise that this poster was here – Geneva is surrounded by vineyards. I posted recently that the old and very fruitful Muscadet grapevine located in our garden has been one of the few unaffected by a locally occurring pest. We don’t know why, except that we never bring in outside stock, we don’t handle other plants, and our garden is walled. In Europe, there were a few tiny vineyards that remained unaffected by the wine blight. No one knows why. They still produce extremely rare vintages of wine made from pre-blight, ungrafted stock. One of them is a Bollinger Champagne, the Vieilles Vignes Françaises. Another is a port wine in Spain, and a third is a Sangiovese grape in Montalcino, Italy. Did I mention why rootstock from the United States was the preferred import for grafting? It’s because phylloxera itself is a North American import, brought to the UK and then Europe on hardy American rootstock for planting by horticultural enthusiasts. The American rootstock was, of course, unaffected because it was resistant against the phylloxera. I’ve heard American wine buffs proudly claim that the US saved the French wine industry, but it seems a bit of a stretch since it was our own little pest that ruined it in the first place. It’s a remarkable example of the triumph of non-native species within an entire growing sector.	<urn:uuid:744320a0-43e1-4581-a179-8db000cad2a6>	623	I found this poster hanging in a small local bistro just over the border in Switzerland, one of ټy favorite places to eat for lunch.

Riding Transit Takes Almost Twice as Long as Driving If transit systems want to attract more riders, they need to find ways to speed up the journey to work. See how the times compare in your metro area. For New York metro residents who take public transportation, a door-to-door commute averages about 51 minutes. That’s much longer than the 29 minutes typically spent by those who drive alone. Similar discrepancies exist around Los Angeles, where despite the region’s traffic woes, drivers arrive at work an average of 22 minutes faster than public transportation riders. In nearly every metro area, driving to work remains far quicker than using a bus or train, taking less than half as long in some places. Across the country, transit systems are seeking to attract new customers as the latest national statistics show stagnant ridership. Cutting down on commute times represents an opportunity to serve more riders who otherwise have a choice in how to get to work. “Operating speed is going to be important for customers, so if they want to compete in that market, they need to be more competitive,” says Steven Polzin of the Center for Urban Transportation Research. “Time is important to folks across the full economic spectrum.” Governing compiled the most recent Census survey data measuring total commute times, including travel to stations and the time spent waiting for buses or trains. In the 25 metro areas where public transportation accounts for the largest share of all commuting, riders reported commute times an average of 1.9 times greater than those who drove alone. Similar gaps exist in regions where public transportation isn’t as prevalent. College towns are about the only areas where public transportation commute times mirror those for auto commuters. Of course, those taking public transportation where service is limited are bound to be in for longer commutes. But cities with robust transit networks still show numbers that lag well behind driving. Comparing travel times more narrowly within the 25 municipalities -- rather than entire metro areas -- where public transportation is most prevalent, commutes average 1.5 times longer than driving (about 15 minutes). A metro area’s overall commute times partly reflect its different types of transit. Commuter rail passengers spend an average of 69 minutes traveling to work, far longer than those taking bus or light rail. Accordingly, areas relying more on heavy rail, like Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, Conn., report lengthier commutes overall. The Census data doesn’t consider distances traveled, which can also vary greatly. The majority of time spent commuting actually isn’t taken up by riding. Wait times for all transit trips nationally average around 10 minutes, according to the latest data from the Department of Transportation’s National Household Travel Survey. When added to the time it takes to get to and from transit stations, this exceeds the average time riding. There’s a lot that transit agencies might do to attract more riders who aren’t transit-dependent. Research suggests improvements in service quality, including speeds and wait times, have about twice as much effect on ridership as fare adjustments. Riders traveling during off-peak times are more sensitive to changes in frequency of trains or buses than those who commute during rush hour. Over the years, bus systems sometimes increase the number of zigzag routes through neighborhoods, accommodating more stops but slowing down commutes. Transit agencies are now simplifying and straightening their routes to speed them up, Polzin says. Investments in faster light rail and bus rapid transit systems should further curb travel times. And for many, service reliability is just as important. To this end, real-time information systems, such as those supporting smartphone apps, help reduce uncertainty. Faced with declining ridership, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas, which includes Houston, recently took the radical step of redesigning its entire bus network. The agency restructured it into a new grid system with straighter routes. “To take an average speed of a route from 12 to 14 mph is actually a big deal,” says Kurt Luhrsen, the transit agency’s vice president of service planning. A survey found riders didn’t have a long wish list of capital improvements. Rather, improving and increasing the frequency of bus service was the top concern. So the agency roughly doubled the number of routes running every 15 minutes or less and upgraded service on weekends. The revamped bus network, which required just a 4 percent budget increase, launched in August 2015. The results so far are encouraging: Weekday ridership has stabilized after declining for years, and is up about 10 percent on Saturdays and more than 30 percent on Sundays. The new network isn’t just about saving time. It’s also opened up job opportunities for those who are now within walking distance of frequent service. “The goal,” Luhrsen says, “was to connect those places of density within the system -- to get people to jobs, to get them to schools, health-care facilities … seven days a week.”	<urn:uuid:69f69763-c7d9-4ee1-91b6-120b75861e07>	1,009	̺iǁҒng ٨ransit TakesֺǕlmЩstۡ͹wi֜e ˀs L˾n޺ ֠s Dδiܑing ҽf tran٨iҪŋsޝstͨКs waԢׯ to ʜt̆ra͍ǡ ҡєʕɛŔЄiders,ܐtֹƥyжݽeeݤ toՍΒiѠd waǏϾ ފoȵѹpeeԮ u݄ tոҒݩ̐oޟrݏҾy toߤwork.ȒSee hӺw ŕױe ՈiŅes cڌ́paҵe inɽyŭǙrĢmeǦٲژ area. զor Ϝewҋݕܪٻk meŝrȢ ҨۍsiՙeӦނs wh؇ ͐akՙ ĢҢɅlҠcؼȇrϪˇsp֤өtсȇӷГƚ, a ӝoorްߡo-door џoԡmǇtϡɣaveߡɳю͑sϤěϫouЫИ5ǥ˜ɒinuջeҢέ ̉hat’s Ʒu˶Ψ ՎoއgeՎ պܗan t۾e϶Ћԕ mޝɿutes̞ޏ݁pكcݐΖܻ؄ sɍϗʓt ̼yܫth܌ߝeٙˆŗo Ũޢںvڇۼaloсe.

In Britain’s first study into destitution, it has been found that over a million people across the UK are living in such severe poverty they cannot afford to keep warm, stay clean or buy food. More than three-quarters of destitute people reported going without meals and more than half were unable to heat their home. The shocking new report revealed that 1.25 million people were destitute in Britain during 2015, 312,000 of which were children The report, which was commissioned by UK charity the Joseph Rowntree Trust (JRT), used a new method to measure the scale of extreme poverty in Britain. At present, there are no official government estimates of the level of destitution across the UK. But amid growing concern that extreme poverty is on the rise, the JRF commissioned a special report to investigate the matter. The study was conducted by academics at Herriot-Watt University, a range of other experts and a number of key UK service providers. It took two years to complete, and was published on Wednesday. — Joseph Rowntree Fdn. (@jrf_uk) April 27, 2016 It found that a startling 1.25 million people were destitute during 2015, 312,000 of whom were children. Some 80 percent of these were born in Britain. While young, single citizens – especially men – were found to be more likely to suffer from extreme poverty, considerable numbers of families were also found to have suffered destitution. Most severe form of poverty Destitution is defined as the “most severe form of poverty in the UK,” which leaves people in such financial jeopardy they are unable to afford vital essentials such as food, toiletries and heating. In order to discern whether an impoverished person can be defined as destitute, the report’s authors said they must lack two or more essentials deemed vital for basic living over a four-week period. — Mike Haw (@mikehaw) April 27, 2016 People who fell into this category included: those who had been forced to sleep rough; had no meal or just one per day over a period of 48 hours or longer; were unable to heat or light their home adequately for five or more days, and lacked weather-proof clothes or had to go without basic toiletries. No central cause for destitution was uncovered. However, the majority who fell into this category had been impoverished for some time and had arrived at a tipping point that plunged them deeper into financial woe. Key drivers in this respect were spiraling financial costs of ill health, soaring rental and property prices, joblessness, and financial shocks such a delays or sanctions to benefit payments. Areas rife with destitution High rates of destitution were uncovered in ex-industrial areas across the northwest and northeast of England, Scotland, South Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as in inner-city London. Unemployment was rife in these regions, while rates of long-term sickness and disability were also found to be above average. In-depth interviews with 80 destitute citizens revealed that 30 percent had had their benefits sanctioned.

Unusual Cemeteries: Chauchilla Cemetery, Peru Discovered in the 1920s, the Peruvian Chauchilla cemetery is said to date back to the 9th century AD. For nearly 700 years, the cemetery was host to many burials and currently serves as a rich source for archaeological knowledge concerning ancient Nazca culture. The most unusual part of the cemetery, however, is the perfect preservation of the bodies inside of it. Due to the dry climate in the Peruvian Desert and the funerary practices that included resin on clothing to keep out insects, the bodies are a scientist’s dream. Ale’s Stones, Sweden Ale’s Stones is a megalithic monument located in Scania, Sweden, and consists of a stone ship formed by 59 large sandstone boulders. Many speculate that the monument is 5,000 years old, and according to Scanian folklore, it also houses the remains of the legendary King Ale.	<urn:uuid:80de2844-5170-40a8-acb5-a885b2273fcb>	206	Unusual Cemeteries: Chauchilla Cemetery, Peru Discovered in the 1920s, the Peruvian Chauchilla cemetery is said to date back to the 9th century AD.

St George clad in the linear lamellar with double riveting on the Mravaldzali icon. (photo by Ermakov). The representations of St George and St Theodore [fig. 10] on the Mravaldzali icon dating from the latter half of the 10th century, and the Parakheti icon of St George of the end of the 10th century [fig. 11] show lamellar plates with double riveting and a double suspension on the leather lining; the plates do not overlap, but are arranged very close together side by side. Practically here all the basic components of the evolution of lamellar armour are present; the only component that is lacking is a wide band, due to which these suits of armour may be grouped with the category of linear lamellar.

The exact origin of the game is uncertain, but, according to the Smithsonian Institution, it almost certainly comes from the travels of Marco Polo. The explorer and his family were Venetian jewel merchants. In the thirteenth century, Polo, a teenager, joined his father and uncle on an expedition along the Silk Road from Italy to China. The expedition gained notoriety because it was unusual for merchants to travel the entire length of the route themselves; they usually hired middlemen. There is debate among scholars about precisely which areas the Polo family visited. Some do not believe they even reached China, as Polo recorded few facts about the country in the book he later wrote about his adventures. However, the Marco Polo legend persists, and he is widely considered to be one of the first Westerners to visit China.

History of Area Cheapside is a remarkably unique area in the heart of the City of London’s Square Mile. Once a medieval trading market, it boasts some of the world’s most iconic and historic sites on its doorstep – St Paul’s Cathedral, Museum of London, Bank of England, Guildhall, The Barbican Centre, The Royal Exchange and not forgetting its more modern side in terms of One New Change. Here are a few of the historic milestones in its incredible history. Guildhall Art Gallery reopens The original Guildhall Art Gallery was established in 1885 to house and display works of art acquired by the City of London Corporation. Burnt down during an air raid in 1941, the gallery occupied temporary accommodation until the City Corporation decided to redevelop the site. The new gallery was designed by Richard Gilbert Scott and opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1999. Clean Air Act Fog was a feature of London life well into the 20th century. In the Great London Smog of 1952 a lethal combination of fog and smoke generated by domestic coal fires killed 12,000 Londoners. The 1956 Clean Air Act attempted to control domestic smoke pollution by introducing smokeless zones in which only smokeless fuels were to be burnt. Although London was still suffering the after effects of war, London hosted the 14th Olympic Games at Wembley Stadium. The prestige of staging the Olympics provided a welcome boost to morale. The City suffered badly as bombing raids began during the Second World War. Churches, livery company halls and other historic buildings were destroyed. Despite initial resistance, London Underground agreed that 79 of its stations could be used as bomb shelters during air raids and spending the night in a tube station became routine for many Londoners. Zeppelins over London While the First World War was being fought in the trenches of France and Flanders, a new and terrifying threat to Londoners was unleashed upon innocent civilians. The German airships (or Zeppelins) succeeded in instilling panic by raiding London. The first bomb fell on Fenchurch Street. Tower Bridge completed After eight years of construction, the Prince of Wales opened Tower Bridge, designed by City Architect Horace Jones. The river had remained navigable during the whole construction. The bascule bridge allowed an opening of 200 feet and headroom of 135 feet, enough to allow access for almost all vessels to the Pool of London. Jack the Ripper strikes The notorious Jack the Ripper murdered several young women working in Whitechapel district as prostitutes during the summer and autumn of 1888. The body of one of his victims, Catherine Eddowes, was found in Mitre Square, inside the eastern boundary of the City. No one was ever convicted of these murders and the Ripper remains unidentified to this day. Guildhall Library re-opened The first Guildhall Library existed between 1425 and 1549. A new Library opened in 1828 for the benefit of Members of the City Corporation and accredited students. The library developed into an important reference library for City of London history. London Stock Exchange A group of Brokers established a dealing room on the ground floor of a coffee house in Sweeting’s Alley; it became the first London Stock Exchange. St Paul’s Cathedral completed Sir Christopher Wren’s son placed the final stone of St Paul’s Cathedral in 1711. The new Cathedral had taken 36 years to build at a cost of £850,000. Most of the money had been raised by a tax on coal imports into the City. Bank of England founded First proposed by William Paterson in 1691, the Bank of England was founded in 1694 and granted the duties on the tonnage of ships and upon beer, ale and other liquors. First housed in Mercers’ Hall and then in the Grocers’ Hall, The Bank moved to its present site in 1734. The first Governor of the Bank was a Huguenot, Sir John Doubloon. Work starts, St Paul’s Cathedral Between 1670 and 1675 Christopher Wren worked on several designs for the new St Paul’s Cathedral. The first of these was accepted, but by 1672 rejected as too modest. Parliament had agreed to allow the remains of the old medieval building to be demolished. Following several variations each in turn accepted and then rejected Wren’s new design of 1675 started to take shape. Completed in 1711, 36 years later the new Cathedral proved a worthy successor to its predecessor. The Great Fire of London The fire, which broke out early in the morning of 2 September at the bakery of Thomas Farynor in Pudding Lane, raged for five days. In the end it was estimated to have consumed 13,200 houses, St Paul’s Cathedral, 87 churches, 6 chapels, the Guildhall, the Royal Exchange, the Custom House, 52 livery company halls, 3 gates, and 4 stone bridges. The Great Plague Bubonic plague struck London with full force in the summer. It quickly decimated the population, killing rich and poor. At its peak more than 7,000 died in a single week and by the end of the year it had claimed the lives of around 100,000 Londoners.	<urn:uuid:db30adec-6754-4d86-9da3-b0dfd74e6903>	1,162	Histoٜy of Area Cheapside is a͙ȃemۻrkably܆uniqĊe̫area in the heartڷof the City oȐ ġonެon’s Square Mile.
