Jet milling is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and remains the leading technology for particle size reduction and is most commonly used for having consistent and uniform particles during formulation.
Jet milling is a highly effective technology for reducing particle size of inhalation and other drug products where the size of the particle is relevant to the effective delivery.
How it works
Jet milling is the standard API particle size reduction method. The powder is fed into a milling chamber where compressed air/nitrogen, usually in a vortex motion, promotes particle-to-particle collisions. Particle classification is made by inertia, following reduction via impaction and abrasion.
Powders for inhalation - Leading technology to obtain powders in the inhalation size range
Micronized powders for oral delivery - Powders that can be used to overcome solubility limitations of BCS class 2 and 4 drugs
- Simple, solvent free operation, cost effective
- In many cases can provide appropriate particle size distribution
- Can enable handling of heat-sensitive materials
- High energy input, potentially leading to amorphization, polymorph transformation and change in morphology
- Limitation in feed size due to product injection method

About Port Adelaide
South Australia’s first port was declared as Port Adelaide in 1837 and the ensuing 178 years have seen changes in position and fluctuating fortunes.
Port Adelaide grew from the construction of Commercial Road across the tidal flats to join the “Road to the Port” at Alberton which connected to the McLaren Wharf (named after the manager of the South Australian Company) and what was the deeper water which would become Port Adelaide’s Inner Harbor.
Running from this wharf was a bridge (the first in the Colony) that connected to North Parade and the Government wharf named Queen’s.
North Parade became the early shopping precinct of the town and, as the levels were raised the original levee became known as St Vincent Street. The name was taken from Admiral John Jervis, Earl of St Vincent, who defeated the Spanish navy in 1797 off Cape St Vincent on the south west tip of the Atlantic coast of Portugal. Matthew Flinders gave the name St Vincent to the gulf that became the major seaway to Port Adelaide.

This set of guided notes is a great introduction to rays and angles. The front side stresses the importance of notation and being able to look at geometric diagrams properly. These notes also review the different kinds of angles: acute, obtuse, right and straight angles. The back allows you to introduce the practice of measuring angles with a protractor and labeling angles accordingly. There is also an introduction to the idea of angle bisectors with two practice problems.
The answers are included!

Welcome to the Office of Global Health
The Office of Global Health opened in October 2010 with a mission to work with undergraduate and postgraduate students and faculty in the Faculty of Health Sciences.
What is global health? The Institute of Medicine defines global health as “health problems, issues, and concerns that transcend national boundaries, may be influenced by circumstances or experiences in other countries, and are best addressed by cooperative actions and solutions.” A strong directive of global health is to model social accountability and decrease health inequities around the world, regardless of race, culture, gender, or social class.
Global health spans both domestic and international health, for example, the health of all Canadians, healthcare in prison systems and marginalized populations such as the homeless, immigrants, and refugees.
Global health education, research, and clinical outreach are all major priorities of the OGH. An important component of the OGH is to produce peer-reviewed research activities in Canada and abroad and support global health research projects and critical inquiries within the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Linking Queen’s faculty, staff, and students who are interested in global health education, research, and clinical outreach is a high priority of the OGH.

Hosea, a minor prophet, wrote the first of the twelve prophetic books of the Old Testament. He preached in the kingdom of Israel about the same time as Amos, although perhaps for a bit longer; apparently he was active from 786 B.C. to as late as 721 B.C. The main theme of his book is God's power of forgiveness for the sins of Israel as witnessed in his redemption of Hosea. He argued that Israel would certainly feel the wrath of God for her sinful encounter with Canaanite idolatry but would ultimately be forgiven and redeemed.
The biographical material about the author originally appeared on The Goodrich Room: Interactive Tour website.

A new exhibition sheds light on how artists respond to the world
If you believe we live in a rapidly changing world in today’s digital age, think of the changes to society a century ago, when quicker communication, faster production, and wider circulation of people, goods, and ideas—in addition to the outbreak of World War I—produced a profoundly new understanding of the world.
Artists in the early years of the 20th century responded to these issues with both exhilaration and anxiety. Now, a new exhibition, Shatter Rupture Break, on view at The Art Institute of Chicago through May 3rd explores how Salvidor Dali, Kurt Schwitters and many more coped with and responded to the fragmentation and rupture of war, and how these themes became central conceptual and visual themes in art of the modern age. Check out the lecture about the show March 3rd at the museum.

They're not your average Christmas presents; place mats and then a piece of the Antarctic.
But when William Hague met with the monarch on Tuesday to visit the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, following her visiting Cabinet, he announced the Queen would have a southern part of the British Antarctic named after her.
'Queen Elizabeth Land' is 169,000 square miles - almost twice the size of Britain.
One is not amused? The land was named after the Queen
According to the Foreign Office this is not the first time that land in Antarctica has been named after The Queen.
There is also Princess Elizabeth land in East Antarctica, which was discovered in 1931. The monarch was also presented with 60 table mats with images of Buckingham Palace as a gift by the Cabinet.
William Hague said it was a "fitting tribute" to the Queen at the end of her Diamond Jubilee year.
"The British Antarctic Territory is a unique and important member of the network of fourteen UK Overseas Territories. To be able to recognise the UK’s commitment to Antarctica with a permanent association with Her Majesty is a great honour."

A reddit for judoka and spectators to submit anything about Judo.
What is Jūdō?
Jūdō (柔道) is a Japanese teaching founded by Jigoro Kano (1860–1938), an educationalist and martial artist. By Kano's intention, Judo is supposed to be a martial art, means to physical education and a pedagogic system. The guiding principles of Judo are making the best use of one's physical and mental powers as well as mutual welfare.
Today millions of people worldwide practice Judo, most of them as combat sport, but also for fitness, as means to self-defense and many other reasons.

Doctors are hoping stem cells from patients' bone marrow will help repair damaged hearts after coronary bypass surgery.
The trial, which will take place at the University of Bristol and is funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), hopes to establish an ethically-sound method of restoring full heart function after a major heart attack.
At present, scarred heart tissue damaged by a lack of oxygen in a heart attack remains permanently damaged and, although full blood flow to the heart can be improved, access is never fully restored. This increases the risk of further heart attacks.
The Bristol trial hopes to use stem cells to prevent the scars from forming, preventing impaired heart contraction.
Professor Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director of the BHF, said: "We hope that this exciting Bristol project will provide information taking us a step nearer to the day when stem cells can be used routinely to help repair damaged hearts."

A total of 380 scrub hares (Lepus saxatilis) from 5 localities, ranging from the north-eastern Transvaal to the eastern and the south-western Cape Province of South Africa, were examined for fleas and lice.
Ctenocephalides felis damarensis was almost exclusively responsible for the flea infestations on hares at 4 of the 5 sites. At 4 localities the prevalence and abundance of this flea reached peaks between
August and October and declined thereafter to their lowest levels between February and April. Its prevalence and abundance in the north-eastern Transvaal were not correlated with the breeding cycle of
the hares in this region. The 2 louse species recovered, sometimes sympatrically, were Haemodipsus
lyriocephalus and Haemodipsus setoni. Listrophorus leporicolus was the only mite species recovered.
The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.
Adobe Acrobat XI Pro was used to OCR the text and also for the merging and conversion to the final presentation PDF-format.

NASA launched the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 1:28PM from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on 18 November 2013. MAVEN will study the Martian atmosphere seeking clues as to why Mars lost most of its atmosphere over time. On Earth the atmosphere on launch day was hot, hazy, and cloudy; feeling more like a summer day rather than the middle of November. For those of us relying on large telescopic lenses to photograph the launch from a position outside the base it meant having to deal with fierce heat distortion making what one could see of the rocket through the haze shimmer like moonlight on the water. One can see something of the effect in the short launch video shot along with the still images at Canaveral National Seashore. Then there were the clouds. The still images capture the rocket at altitude moving through the broken cloud deck before finally disappearing into the clouds for good. Now looking forward to when MAVEN reaches Mars in about ten months and starts its science investigations. Go MAVEN!

From 1992 to 1995, Work In America Institute, Inc., Scarsdale, N.Y., carried out a pilot project to provide parents in the workplace with skills to help their children more effectively avoid the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
The Work In America Institute has been an instrument for change in the American workplace since 1975. Its membership comprises over 60 corporations, labor unions, and government agencies and represents over 25 million working adults.
Drug abuse-prevention programs have targeted parents, as well as children and adolescents. Working parents, however, may not have the time available to take advantage of school-, church-, or community-based programs.
A workplace substance abuse-prevention curriculum was developed, field-tested and offered at 12 organizations through 20 worksites.
Nine out of 12 pilot organizations decided to continue their programs after the completion of the pilot rounds.
An independent evaluation was conducted, determining that the commitment from both employers and employees resulted in participant satisfaction and perceived improved communication between parents and children.

According to BP statistics for the year 2014, the European Union produced 10,4% of the world CO2 emissions. Germany is in turn the largest producer of CO2 emissions in Europe with its 2,2% share of the world emissions, followed by Great Britain with 1,3%.
The overall amount of the CO2 emissions does not, however, tell the whole story. Once these data are juxtaposed with the GDP, an entirely different picture presents itself. When compared with other European countries, it must be said that Germany, Great Britain and France are relatively small producers of CO2 emissions. Scandinavian states, such as Sweden and Denmark, emit even less CO2; Bulgaria, Poland and the Czech Republic emit the biggest amounts; hence, they ought to quickly increase their GDP without increasing the current CO2 emissions.
If the CO2 emissions are juxtaposed with the population size, then it is not the East European states that top the list of the producers of CO2 emissions but the Low Countries – Holland and Belgium – whose economies are large as compared to the number of their inhabitants.

University of Liverpool research – published today inThe Lancet Public Health – shows that children who move into poverty are more likely to suffer from social, emotional and behavioural problems than children who remain out of poverty.
The UK Government has recently questioned whether the relative measure of income poverty used in this research (a household income that is less than 60% of the national average) is a good indicator of children’s life chances.
The Government has claimed that it is better to increase the number of parents who are employed, than use the social security system to prevent children moving into poverty.
Exploring the impact
This research challenges this view finding that moving into poverty adversely affected children’s and mothers’ mental health even if there was no change in the mother’s employment status.
Researchers from the University’sDepartment of Public Health and Policy explored the impact that…

Wood smoke is created from burning firewood and other materials; it contains a mix of chemicals and particles which are hazardous to human health when breathed in. Fireplaces and wood stoves are a major source of air pollution and can be a nuisance to other residents.
Some ways to reduce smoke pollution include:
- keep firewood dry and in a well-ventilated area
- never burn green, wet or treated wood
- have the flue checked and cleaned by a professional before winter begins.
For further information please refer to the Shire's Smoke - Information Sheet.
Additional information is also available from Department of Environment – Wood Smoke.

Rigged model (scale 1:48). This model is based on the draughts for the 'Elizabeth Jonas' from papers known as 'Fragments of Ancient Shipwrightry' by Matthew Baker, collected by Samuel Pepys and preserved at Cambridge These vesels are all galleon-built, with a forecastle set well back from the stem and a long projecting beak. The decoration was carried out principally by contrasting paintwork. With the exception of the figurehead, in the form of an elaborate dragon, there is little carving. The main armament of warships such as this consisted of bras and cast-iron muzzle-loading guns such as the culverin and demi-culverin, long range weapons firing 18 lb and 9 lb cannonballs respectively.

With just weeks to go before Election Day, Taiwan’s voters are on the verge of handing the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) a landslide victory. The DPP’s presidential candidate, Tsai Ing-wen, is leading in the polls by double digits, and her party is within range of becoming the majority party in Taiwan’s legislature. Such an outcome would make the DPP Taiwan’s true ruling party for the first time in history (its first successful presidential candidate, Chen Shui-bian, governed from 2000 to 2008 without a supportive legislature).
For most of the past 70 years, Taiwan has been ruled by the Kuomintang (KMT), the party led by Chiang Kai-shek and, in the democratic era, presidents Lee Teng-hui and Ma Ying-jeou. Giving the DPP the opportunity to form a government is a profound change of direction for Taiwan’s voters, so it’s worth considering the question: Why?
The simplest answer is that it is normal for parties in a two-party system to alternate leadership, and there is more than a little truth to that response, but an unprecedented shift to an all-DPP government merits a deeper explanation.

There are hundreds of different types of cartoons around the world. From distinct show styles like that of "The Simpsons" or "Charlie Brown" to genres like manga and anime, diverse illustrations come to life everyday. The word cartoon dates back to the 1670s to broadly describe the draft stages of art. The meaning has evolved over time to also include print, animated and 3D platforms. For many, growing up with Saturday morning cartoons was a rite of passage that helped define the simpler times of a generation. We have cartoons to thank for widening children's vocabulary to include "Yabba-dabba-do!" and "D'oh!"
So how do these sketchings come to life? What are the mathematical properties behind creating a lovable cartoon character? This playlist helps boil down the process into cartoon-drawings most basic parts, starting with some of the most popular characters out there.

The Fitzroy’s Storm Glass is a nautical barometer that can indicate the chance of storms, snow, wind or clear skies. Each glass contains a liquid of constantly evolving crystals that respond to changes in weather conditions.
Based on the principle that temperature and pressure affect solubility, the storm glass was developed by Admiral Robert Fitzroy during the historic voyage with Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle. These instruments were widely used to by British seafarers in the 19th century to predict the possibility of storms at sea.
Today, Fitzroy’s Storm Glass remains popular with collectors of curious objects. The delicate, feathery formation of the crystals is beautiful to observe, making this item both an attractive ornament and an interesting conversation piece.

Refractive errors are the most common vision problems characterized by the reduction of the visual acuity. There are different types of refractive errors:
Nearsightedness (myopia) is when the image seen far away is not clear.
Farsightedness (hyperopia) is when the image seen at near is not clear. Some young people may not notice any problems with their vision until the natural lens inside the eye starts to lose its ability to accommodate (change its shape in order to focus on the object).
Astigmatism is a when the image is not focused evenly. This is caused by an oval shape of the cornea.
Presbyopia is when the image up close becomes more difficult to see due to the age-related changes in the natural lens.

Square-spotted Clay Xestia stigmatica
Wingspan 37-44 mm.
A local and elusive species, with a scattered distribution mainly in the south of England, but also with some localities in northern England, Wales and Scotland.
Inhabiting deciduous woodland with scattered undergrowth, the adults fly during August.
The caterpillar has only recently been found in Britain for the first time in the wild. The actual foodplants are not yet fully understood, but are probably a variety of plants such as bramble (Rubus fruticosus) and birch (Betula).

Any study of the coach-athlete relationship reveals the significant influence coaches have in the lives of student-athletes. To effectively reach athletes, here are three suggestions:
- Clearly communicate your philosophy
A well-articulated philosophy is essential to establishing a winning culture. More importantly, strong philosophies are necessary to effectively teach life skills to student-athletes. Coaches must also develop strategies (e.g., keywords, modeling) for communicating and teaching life skills if athletes are to carry those skills to other areas of their lives.
- Employ democratic leadership, training and instruction, and social support in your coaching
Democratic leadership, training and instruction, and social support are three coaching behaviors shown to regularly have a positive influence on the coach-athlete relationship. Research shows that players respond positively when they are involved in decision-making, taught according to their learning styles, and shown genuine care by their coaches.
- Be self-aware
Studies indicate that coaches’ perceptions of their coaching is often higher than their players’ perceptions. As a result, coaches must be continually monitoring and reflecting on their own behavior to ensure they are maintaining effectiveness. A coach’s personal goal must be consistent improvement and growth.

The 2015 Global Gender Gap Report ranked Japan 101th out of 145 countries in the world in terms of equality for women. Although the ranking is three spaces further up than in 2014, it remains a damning indictment of sexual discrimination in the world’s third largest economy.
The global film industry is still a male-dominated industry, and it has been particularly difficult for women behind the camera. Although women have been directing movies since the 19th century, it was not until 2010 that Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the best director Oscar.
Two of the directors in this exhibition lived, worked and influenced in the years before and after WWII. However, it is only over the last decade or so that female directors from Japan have been making their mark, even outside of Japan. Slow though it may be, change is happening in Japan’s gendered society.

Global Warming is when too much greenhouse gases trap the heat and warm the earth. Global warming is causing the Polar Icecaps and other Glaciers to melt!
This is an Audubon one species of bird
Birds of all sorts of species live in a variety of habitats all around the world.
But global warming and climate change is effecting birds everywhere...
These precious birds are being effected
The Migration of birds is being messed with. The world having different climate and weather patterns are confusing the birds to make them migrate at wrong times and sometimes not even migrate at all!
This will happen too early, too late, or not even happen!
The climate change is causing birds to lay eggs earlier. Birds have an instinct to breed when it is spring and warm. A study showed that birds are laying eggs 6.6 days earlier than they should be.

The Organic movement has taken off, and is becoming big business. Organic certification means that there is some guarantee that what you are buying is not contaminated with potentially harmful chemicals or excess antibiotics. Organic products are now available at all the standard Big Box stores–often produced by a small number of huge agricultural firms. The expense of organic certification is high enough that many small growers find it to be prohibitive.
We like the term ‘sustainably grown.’ We grow our vegetables without artificial chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. We also recycle nutrients–from the garden to the pigs, chickens, and compost bin back to the garden. And, we look at the garden (and the rest of the farm) as an ecosystem where the depth of the food web is important. Sustainable growing also means ethically grown, so our chickens and pigs get fresh air and pasture, not boxes and cages. Where we can, we work with hoes and hand tools instead of gas-powered equipment to cut down on emissions of greenhouse gases.
There are also other certification programs, notably Certified Naturally Grown, that we may pursue in the future. For now, we are sticking with methods that will ensure that this land is productive for another 175 years.

The Hubble Telescope has added another great discovery to its repertoire; a fourth moon for Pluto. Temporarily assigned the name P4, it was discovered just this month orbiting around the dwarf planet with Charon, Nix, and Hydra, Pluto’s other moons.
Estimated to only be 8-21 miles wide, the tiny little rock is the smallest one to have been found orbiting Pluto. All the other moons orbiting Pluto are at least twice as large. Charon, the largest, is 648 miles across.
Astronomers anxiously wait for the day when the New Horizons spacecraft reaches the Pluto system in 2015. Launched in 2006, New Horizons is outfitted with a visible and infrared imager/spectrometer, an ultraviolet imaging spectrometer, a radio science experiment to measure atmospheric temperature and composition, a telescopic camera, a solar wind and plasma spectrometer, an energetic particle spectrometer, and a dust counter to measure how much dust New Horizons on its way to Pluto.

The performance of a wind turbine is driven, among other factors, by structural fatigue experienced due to wind- induced vibrations. Under National Science Foundation funding, UCSD is studying a system for mitigating the blade vibrations by using a network of piezo-composite transducers with both active (feedback) and passive (shunt) controls. This system has the potential to increase the fatigue life of the wind turbine system by reducing the vibrations during operation. In addition, UCSD is developing a statistical-based Infrared Thermographic method for imaging structural defects in the blades. These techniques are being tested on a unique test turbine blade at the Powell Laboratories that was designed in collaboration with the world renowned Wing Energy Group of the Sandia National Laboratory.

The Fairfield Museum and History Center has been promoting Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) as part of a project begun with a Library of Congress grant in 2007. The Fairfield Museum partnered with the Fairfield University School of Education and Allied Professions and was a regional grantee through Waynesburg University of the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) initiative. The Library of Congress collaborates with school districts, universities, libraries, and foundations to help teachers use the Library’s vast collection of digitized primary sources to enrich their classroom instruction.
The project provided and continues to provide high-quality Professional Development utilizing new technologies and primary sources. Teacher guides, lesson plans and other teacher tools were developed through this initiative. The TPS project served 128 teachers and school librarians who served over 11,000 students.
TPS emphasizes inquiry and utilizing primary sources to evaluate evidence, make judgments and formulate conclusions. These are recognized as “21st century skills” and serve as an important component to the new Connecticut Social Studies Frameworks which are guided by College, Career, and Civil Life (C3) Frameworks for Social Studies and reinforce Common Core English Language Arts.

From the collections of the Science Museum, London.
Sponges were widely used as contraceptives in the 1800s and 1900s. They were used in conjunction with liquids thought to have spermicidal properties... These included quinine and olive oil. This marine sponge was held in cotton netting to aid its extraction. During the 1950s and 1960s, sponges were often advertised under ‘feminine hygiene’ rather than contraception as for some parts of society contraception was a taboo. Many spermicidals were of little contraceptive value. Some even doubled as household cleaners. One was advertised as a dual treatment for ‘successful womanhood’ (contraception) and athlete’s foot.

Whether you are a spicy food fan for whom nothing can ever be too hot or someone who cringes after one bite of a classic buffalo wing (they're not that hot!), we have news for you.
According to a new study by researchers at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, eating hot chile peppers may prolong life. Their findings were pulled from 16,179 U.S. adults who completed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1988 and 1994. The study found that over the next 19 years about 34 percent died. When they limited the data to those who consumed red chile peppers, mortality was only about 22 percent. These results echo those found in a previous study of Chinese adults in China.
So, what exactly is the amazing part of the chile pepper that researchers think may be so beneficial to our longevity? While not definitive, current thought is that it's probably capsaicin, the very compound that makes the peppers hot. Researchers believe capsaicin may speed up lipid catabolism and thermogenesis in participants' bodies, reducing chances of high cholesterol, obesity, and "risk of cardiovascular, metabolic, and lung diseases."

There is heated debate whether Pictish as a language was Brythonic or Gaelic (or indeed otherwise) in origin. The liklihood is, however, it was a Celtic language. Discoveries of Pictish stones in Scotland do not give rise to fully conclusive evidence to aid us in working out the language’s definite origins.
There is no written evidence for the language of the Picts. It is, in my view, more than likely that several dialects were spoken due to the landscape and terrain being so vast and difficult to inhabit.
Picts seemed to be very fond of carving shapes, symbols and pictures into rocks. Carvings were usually made on the flat, front-faceing sides of large standing stones – unlike Ogham which used the sides of stones on which to carve.
As for understanding these stones, our only hope would lie in the discovery of a ‘Rosetta Stone’-like example comprising of both Pictish symboligy and Ogham. Aside from this, the only other possiblity would be in parts of some place-names.
I have, for what it’s worth, included some links I find interesting in Pictish below:

The Denali National Park is located in Interior Alaska and contains Denali (Mount McKinley), with 6,194 m the highest mountain in North America. The national park and preserve is over 24,500 km_, of which 19,120 km_ are federally owned. The national preserve is 5,430 km_, of which 5,278 km_ are federally owned. On December 2, 1980, a 8,687 km_ Denali Wilderness was established within the park. Denali habitat is a mix of forest at the lowest elevations, including deciduous taiga. The preserve is also home to tundra at middle elevations, and glaciers, rock, and snow at the highest elevations. The longest glacier is the Kahiltna Glacier. Today, the park hosts more than 400,000 visitors who enjoy wildlife viewing, mountaineering, and backpacking.

1. An object of unit mass moving with unit speed applies unit force to any object when the two collide. True or False? How can this definition shown to be equivalent to the definition F=ma of newton. Here its different because we are considering how much a body applies a force not how much force is being applied on the object as is done in classical mechanics. Or the two definitions are exclusive? And similar manipulation for objects accelerating. 2. Is the time of impact during collision dependent on the parameters: mass, velocity of the bodies colliding? 3. Are the answers of this question not subtle and easily deducible from classical mechanics?

Yazmien Roberts is a curious science student in the NUA Independent Study program, Murrieta campus. For her science class, she prepared an ‘edible animal cell,’ which is a model of the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, Golgi bodies, vacuoles, and more, made out of
The materials she used for her project were rice cake, Jell-O, sprinkles, Fruit by the Foot, licorice, and more. She also labeled each part with the material she used.
This activity was designed by her teacher, Mrs. Swati Desai, to facilitate learning about different parts of an animal cell and the function of each organelle. Roberts entered her project in the Riverside County Science Fair and was awarded the Bronze Medal. She will move on to compete in the California State Regional Science Fair.

Partners, Inc announced today it was selected by to participate in the “ for Vehicles” with its new lightweight vehicle armor. The solution proposed by uses cutting edge technologies which combine metal matrix composites ( s) and three-dimensionally woven fiber composites into a uniquely effective passive armor solution that can be produced in any shape or thickness. The new lightweight material can be produced in high volume production, offering cost effective protection for current vehicles, as well as for future land, air, sea, and space platforms.
A ‘breeding ground’ supporting development and testing of innovative vehicle armor solutions, ‘’ is identifying promising new armor concepts for military vehicles. Among the goals of DARPA is seeking to identify advanced, lighter and cheaper vehicle armor, capable of defeating certain armor piercing rounds and fragment projectiles. The Vehicle Armor Challenge is primarily designed for inventors and small organizations that have limited resources to initiate full-scale armor development programs. “DARPA has given us a chance to prove our technology, and truly presents us with opportunity.” said Don Akers, President and CEO of Partners.

Autism Biomarker Candidates
Some groups of researchers believe that at least some cases of ASD are caused by problems in neural connectivity. Along these lines, a group of researchers measured brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG), a technique for non-invasively recording and mapping electrical activity in the brain, in typically developing and high-risk groups of infants.1 Using several machine learning algorithms, the researchers found that infants with high risk for autism were classified with an accuracy of more than 80% at 9 months of age. This study suggests that electrical activity in the brain can be used as a predictor of autism risk at 9 months of age.
In the study, however, the classification of girls as high risk did not reach as high a level of accuracy as the classification of boys, and the outcomes of the high-risk infants were not reported. Future studies should reveal whether infants classified as high-risk by EEG measurements actually go on to develop ASD.
Because EEG is non-invasive and is relatively inexpensive compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), EEG has the potential to be used in more large-scale screenings of infants.

A review in a recent journal issue focusing on romanization led me to discover online the entire text of an interesting new book: Orthography of Early Chinese Writing: Evidence from Newly Excavated Manuscripts, by Imre Galambos.
This gives an idea of what the book covers:
Beside offering a more useful approach to both studying Warring States manuscripts and variant character forms in general, this study sheds new light on the development of the Chinese script, its transition into the clerical script stage, and the reality of the Qin reforms. The variability of Warring States character forms demonstrates that Chinese characters evolved not along a linear path that stretched from the oracle-bone inscriptions to the modern script but followed a complex process involving distinct cultures and languages. The “fuzziness” of the line of evolution with respect to the spoken languages and dialects of ancient China raises questions regarding the national identity of the Chinese script. A related issue is how far can one go back in time and say with certainty that the various scripts were not only the predecessors of the Chinese script but were in fact Chinese.

As it is National Storytelling Week, I thought I would share with you our favourite way of making up our own stories.
Pip owns two sets of story cards. They are sets of 36 flashcards with themed pictures that you use to come up with a story. One set is themed on fairy tales and the other on robots.
They can be used to in two different ways and usually we do both each time we get them out. The first way is to spread out maybe 10 or 15 cards on the table then let Pip choose them one by one to tell a story, putting them in her own order as she goes. The second way is that I hold 10 cards in my hand then show them to Pip one at a time and she comes up with another bit of the story to match.
The second way is probably the more challenging as she can’t pick a bit to go with what’s already happening in her story. As a result, this way also comes up with some of the more random (and more hilarious!) stories.
I think these are a great way of igniting imagination and always give us a good hour or so of fun.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data An oscillator with a mass of 600 g and a period of 1.20 s has an amplitude that decreases by 2.50% during each complete oscillation. If the initial amplitude is 6.40 cm, what will be the amplitude after 50.0 oscillations? 2. Relevant equations How do I approach this problem. I am so confused Ive been using xmax=Ae(-t/2x) with no luck. any help would be great 3. The attempt at a solution m=600g T=1.2s amplitude decreases by 2.5% I think my problem is I dont understand were xmax is coming from or even how to find it. A hint is great! Thanks.

"Air shafts, allowing air or escape to the surface, was not built
into this system due to the Mars atmosphere outside. Instead, safe rooms, oxygen access points or escape sets, and ventilation piping throughout the tunnel were installed every thirty feet or nine meters along the tunnel’s walls."
"The running tunnel design had been opened up to allow space
below the Interview Room to retract if need be. Ahmans and humans worked together, still in their atmospheric suits, to place wiring, lights, sewer connections and communication devices throughout the tunnels. The height of the passageway grew to twenty feet. The walls were then cladded with a mixture of polypropylene plastic and Mars cement from heating the frozen soil and setting
concrete, an accelerator recipe the ahmans gladly shared.

Sometimes abbreviated as PWD (not to be confused with the Linux pwd command), a password is a set of secret characters or words utilized to gain access to a computer, web page, network resource, or data. Passwords help ensure that computers or data can only be accessed by those who have been granted the right to view or access them.
Strong password - Term used to describe a password that is an effective password that would be difficult to break. Often a strong password has between six and ten characters (the more the better), numbers, other characters, and both upper and lowercase characters. Below is an example of a strong password.
Weak password - A password that is not an effective password because it's easy to remember. Names, birth dates, phone numbers, and easily guessable words are considered weak passwords. Below is an example of a weak password.

Enrolment Week - Creating their own stories
Babies have been looking at books which have been created by the staff using pictures of the different children that attend. The children were encouraged to look for pictures of themselves.
Toddlers enjoyed making up their own story using puppets. One child chose the farmer puppet and said "go to the moon" so all the children went on an imaginary adventure to the moon. They travelled in the rocket wearing space helmets. This activity was then extended by creating space music using the musical instruments. The children had great fun and they were sad to leave the moon.
Pre-school children had to vote for their favourite story and the winner was 'whatever next'. they then acted out the story using props and masks that they had made.
Jill from Usborne books also held a story session with the children.

Re-use and recycling are important tools for a society to
use to progress "beyond waste".
The “Beyond Waste” program in
is aimed to
develop strategic plans for properly handling both hazardous and solid wastes.
The concept of moving “beyond waste” is captured in the shared vision
That we can transition to a society that views wastes as inefficient use of resources, and
* Believes that production of most wastes can be eliminated.
Eliminating wastes will contribute to
the environmental, economic and social vitality of Washington State.
Moving beyond waste to re-use and reduction of materials is exactly what
organics recycling is all about. Changing
the concept of “organic waste” to “organic resources” is key to
developing a sustainable and profitable future.

LGBT History – WATCH The 1919 German Gay Film “Different From the Others” – Video
In 1919, as the Social Democratic government came to power in Germany and lifted long-standing censorship laws. Acting quickly, filmmaker Richard Oswald joined with psychiatrist and gay-rights pioneer Magnus Hirschfeld to write and produce Different From the Others, (Anders als die Andern) a 90-minute drama about the love affair between a famous male violinist and his male student.
Today only fragments of footage and film stills survive, due to the efforts of the subsequent Nazi regime, but “Anders als die Andern” was the first film ever to seriously delve into homosexuality and its position in contemporary society.
Hirschfeld in 1926 edited the surviving 40+ minutes of the film into the documentary below about tolerance.

How do we feel for others? Must we try to understand other minds? Do we have to respect others' autonomy, or even their individuality? Or might sympathy be fundamentally more intuitive, bodily and troubling? Taking as her focus the work of Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, and Vernon Lee (the first novelist to use the word 'empathy'), Kirsty Martin explores how modernist writers thought about questions of sympathetic response. Attending closely to literary depictions of gesture, movement and rhythm; and to literary explorations of the bodily and of transcendence; this book argues that central to modernism was an ideal of sympathy that was morally complex, but that was driven by a determination to betrue to what it is to feel. Offering new readings of major literary texts, and original research into their historical contexts, Modernism and the Rhythms of Sympathy sets modernist texts alongside recent discussions of emotion and cognition. It offers a fresh reading of literary modernism, and suggests how modernism might continue to unsettle our thinking about feeling today.

Craig Venture is the first and only man in the world to publish his own Genome onto the Internet for the world to see. He and his scientific team were among the first (separate from the Human Genome Project) to map the Human Genome. Now his team is working on creating new life forms that may save the earth.Craig Venter and his team have manufactured a chromosome that is placed into a cell creating a new life form. This life form, a bacteria, may one day be used to heat your house, fuel your car, or scrape pollution from the air.
They have designed bacteria that can live off of human waste and produce water and electricity as a byproduct. The “new life” that his team is creating could very well save the planet or at least guide us into a much brighter future.

Women are voting today for the first time in Saudi Arabia's history. They're casting their ballots for local municipal councils. And they're running as candidates themselves. 900 women are competing for a seat along with 6.000 men.
Women will soon be allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, but what about other fundamental rights? We take a look at the lamentable state of women's rights in the Islamic kingdom and other countries across the region.
Saudi Arabia's state media has said provisions are being made for driving licenses to be issued to women. The ultraconservative kingdom is the only country in the world where women are not allowed behind the wheel.
Congo's election to the UN's Human Rights Council has been criticized because of the country’s human rights record. "This is like making a pyromaniac the town fire chief," head of the NGO UN Watch, Hillel Neuer, said.
Ordinary Iranians have taken to social media in response to Saudi Arabia's reforms allowing women to drive. Many compared the emergence of women's rights in Saudi Arabia to the sluggish growth of Iran's women's movement.

This first-ever electronic musical instrument was created in 1918 by the Russian inventor Lev Sergeevich Termen. The method of playing termenvox is based on varying the distance between the performer’s hands and the instruments’ antennas. The vertical straight antenna is responsible for the pitch of the sound, and the horizontal U-shaped antenna, for the volume.

The warm weather we have been having gets me thinking that the bees maybe thinking it is early spring. The queen may have started to lay in some colonies. If this has happened the food intake will increase as the bees will need to feed and keep the brood warm. Hopefully most colonies don't have access to pollen yet. This will keep the bees from raising brood.
Normally when the bees put up honey, they will stack it on top of pollen that is already in the cell. As they consume honey over winter the pollen becomes exposed and available for use. Warmer weather may increase the desire to get started for spring build up.
Colder weather will be moving in later this week for a more normal weather. The cooler weather should cool the desire of the hive to raise brood.
At this time beekeepers can't do anything but enjoy the nice weather. This winter has been easy on the bees so far and if it stays on the mild side the bees should winter in great shape.

A humble fungus could help oil companies clean up their fuel to meet tightening emissions standards. The fungus, recently discovered in Iran, grows naturally in crude oil and removes the sulphur and nitrogen compounds that lead to acid rain and air pollution.Read more at New Scientist.
Worldwide, government are imposing increasingly severe limits on how much of those compounds fuels can contain. Oil producers are searching for more efficient ways to strip sulphur and nitrogen from their products.
The standard way to "desulphurise" crude oil involves reacting it with hydrogen at temperatures of 455 °C and up to 204 times atmospheric pressure (roughly 21 million pascals or 3000 psi). It achieves less than perfect results.
Micro-organisms able to metabolise sulphur and nitrogen have the potential to achieve the same endpoint under more normal conditions. In recent years a number of researchers have isolated desulphurising bacteria.
But Jalal Shayegan and his team at the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran, have now discovered and isolated a fungus that appears able to remove sulphur from oil with greater efficiency.

Creating art doesn’t just require financial support from the government. Community support and engagement is very much a part of the process.
These centres offer support for artists, musicians and all sorts of creative types. They provide an outlet and creative working spaces for people, accessible by everyone.
The “learn or earn” debate eliminates the chances for people to pursue their dreams. People ar either required to be employed or study.
Creating art, performances and other such creative works require time and commitment and working or studying often detracts from this.
Having these spaces where people can retreat to and work with like-minded creatives offers a small respite in the busy working day chaos.
They provide workshops as well as a community that fosters creative growth and because they are not exclusive, people of all levels and economic backgrounds can participate and pursue their talents.
Social art and culture should not be limited to those who can afford it as this will effect the overall landscape. Talent can come from anywhere and any person. These community art spaces allow artistic participation and expression from everyone and ensure that creativity still maintains a local base.

Project Goals and Objectives
The objective of Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention is to increase awareness and prevention of the widespread occurrence of domestic abuse in communities across the nation. This project speaks with one voice against abuse of intimate partner abuse but also child abuse; teen dating violence; bullying; human trafficking; and elder abuse.
A recent project enabled the WJWL to create a library and resource center for one of our communities shelters. This resource center is used to promote education, provides resources for jobs, research, and leisurely reading as well. It also provides the children that are residing in the center a pace to read and work on school projects while going through a traumatic life experience.
Without the assistance of the community, club members, and local organizations, projects like this would not be possible.

Phosphofructokinase is an enzyme, widespread in nature, catalyzing the reaction:
fructose-6-phosphate + ATP ----> fructose-1,6-diphospohate + ADP
Under conditions where the concentration of ATP was held constant, the dependency of the initial velocity of the concentration of fructose-6-phosphate as measured at two different pH values (6.9 and 8.2) is represented by the data attached. Plot the data according to the classical Michaelis-Menten method and interpret what effect the pH has on the activity of the enzyme.
Plotting the substrate concentration against the rate of the reaction gives strikingly different curves at pH 6.9 and pH 8.2. See attached file.
At pH 8.2 the reaction is classically Michaelis-Menten, with a Km 0.0425 mM and a vmax of 109 umoles/min. The maximum slope of this type of graph is at a substrate concentration of zero.
At pH 6.9 the ...

European seas 88% of all of the fish species are threatened by overfishing
In European seas 88% of all of the fish species are threatened by overfishing. This alarming statistic was published by the IUCN, the International Union for conservation. This union has had experts examine fish stocks across Europe.
Overfishing is a major problem. The researchers from IUCN studied more than 1,200 fish species in Europe. The study found that any nine out of the ten species picked would be overfished. This is powerful news, when you find out that for many fish species there are no quotas. An example is the blue shark, there are now no restrictions on fishing, yet we do not fully know the impact we are having on this fish.

The underwater worlds of our oceans are barely discovered. In 2015 a number of underwater mysteries were discovered by scuba divers.
Ancient Greek City
That is right, only about 5% of our oceans has been explored and over 70% of the earth’s surface lies underwater. Needless to say, new discoveries are being made every day by divers. These finding span from the most obvious valuable finds to the just amazing scientific discoveries.
Remains of Extinct Animals
Beyond Science highlights 7 of these underwater discoveries of 2015. These include the discovery of a 5500 year old city of Tartessos, a stone monolith that is Stonehenge like off the coast of Sicily. A diver even finds a 10,000 year-old forest…
!0,000 Year Ole Forest
Watch the following video below for more details about these and other underwater discoveries in 2015.

The Baroque church of Sant’Emidio in Ascoli Piceno consists of a travertine frontage which precedes three grottoes housing the saint’s sepulture and a necropolis with arcosolias were carved out of the living rock in catacombs.
It was built in 1721 by commission of bishop Giovanni Gambi, a relative of Pope Clement XI. The Bishop and Pope symbols are on the dome of the church.
Its name refers to Saint Emygdius (Emidius). According to legend, after having been beheaded in 309 near the current church of Sant’Emidio Rosso in Ascoli Piceno, the saint walked here with his head in his hands to be buried.

The participle is a verbal noun in the nominative and objective cases, and may be the subject of a verb or the direct object, or the object of a preposition. In the sentence "Running is tiresome", the participle running is the subject. In the sentence "He tried reading aloud", the participle reading is the direct object. In the sentence "John succeeded in finding his watch", the participle finding is the object of the preposition in.

The cost and risk of the spread of viruses are two of the main disadvantages of networking computers. Some other disadvantages are difficulty keeping information secure and extra work required in setup.Continue Reading
Setting up a network of computers from scratch is very labor and cost intensive, especially if the business does not have experienced networking workers or the required parts already. In some cases, transferring files physically between computers is easier and more cost efficient than building a network, most notably when there are only a few computers involved.
Networked computers can share viruses, so keeping anti-virus software up to date is essential, which adds another expense. If a virus hits a network, it can easily destroy large amounts of files and software before it is finally contained. In a network, multiple people have access to important files, making it much easier for files to be changed, lost or stolen. This security issue is one of the biggest secondary disadvantages, and in order to combat it, a good system of passwords and allowances is necessary. Depending on a single main server also has its risks and disadvantages since if the one computer is damaged or goes down, the entire network is useless until the server is repaired.Learn more about Internet & Networking

|Benton — The People of Chilmar — 1920|
Picture provided by Tess as inspiration for Magpie Tales 73.
|The sinking of the RMS Titanic, by Henry Reuterdahl,|
based on wireless description. (Wikipedia)
There was very little cooperation between passengers and crew, whether man, woman or child. Panic reigned, because the ship was said to be unsinkable. No one had thought of hitting an iceberg. No "iceberg drills" had been in place before the catastrophe. None had been deemed necessary by the White Star Line, or by its captain.
The water, of course, was unbearably cold, and anyone not in a lifeboat died almost immediately as a result of hypothermia.
The unthinkable had happened, as it continues to do today. Unthinkable, unspeakable, unbelievable, unbearable...all the words we throw around so carelessly until it is too late. Much too late.

The Marchetti flat dilatometer is a simple to operate in-situ testing device that was designed for use in clays, silts, and sands. A new dilatometer has been developed for use in a greater variety of soil types, in particular glacial tills. This probe is more robust than the Marchetti dilatometer because it uses a rigid piston instead of a flexible membrane to load the soil. The new dilatometer is also a research dilatometer incorporating a displacement transducer and pressure transducer. This allows an applied pressure displacement curve to be produced. Tests have been carried out at several sites to compare results from the two dilatometers, check the robustness of the new dilatometer, and produce data to establish new correlations.

Ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps combine high output with great colour rendering and good efficiency. They produce light by passing an electric arc through a mixture of gases. In a metal halide lamp, the compact arc tube contains a high-pressure mixture of argon, mercury, and a variety of metal halides.
Light Output Ratio – the percentage of light emitted from the light source that makes it out of the luminaire. An LOR of 70 means 30 per cent of the light from lamp is lost inside the reflector and light fitting.
Light emitting diode lamps are flavour of the month, and deliver big energy savings, good colour rendering, dimmability and a long life. The best ones are difficult to distinguish from incandescent lamps. But they come with a hefty price tag – of up to £30 a lamp. And many Chinese versions are, well, rubbish.

Ernst Breit and Harry Tisch in Düsseldorf (1985)
Under the leadership of Chairman Ernst Breit, a delegation from the Confederation of German Trade Unions [Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund or DGB] visited the GDR from February 22-24, 1984. There, it met with a delegation representing East Germany’s Free German Trade Union Federation [Freier Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund or FDGB] to discuss issues relating to European peace and security policy. Additionally, on February 24, 1984, Breit and FDGB Chairman Harry Tisch signed an agreement on expanding the relationship between the two labor unions. The following year, Tisch and a delegation from the FDGB Federal Board visited the DGB in West Germany from May 28-31, 1985. In his subsequent report to the Politbüro, Tisch related that the talks had shown “that the DGB was also interested in a good working atmosphere and positive results.” The picture shows Harry Tisch (right) being welcomed by Ernst Breit (left) upon his arrival in Düsseldorf.

Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, by Carlo Rovelli:
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics is a book about the joy of discovery. Carlo Rovelli brings a playful, entertaining, and mind-bending introduction to modern physics, offering surprising—and surprisingly easy to grasp—explanations of Einstein’s general relativity, quantum mechanics, elementary particles, gravity, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, and the role humans play in this weird and wonderful world. He takes us to the frontiers of our knowledge: to the most minute reaches of the fabric of space, back to the origins of the cosmos, and into the workings of our minds. “Here, on the edge of what we know, in contact with the ocean of the unknown, shines the mystery and the beauty of the world,” Rovelli writes. “And it’s breathtaking.”
Every Friday, we highlight a title from our collection at

Education is a powerful force for promoting opportunity and growth. It is not surprising that an individual’s educational attainment is highly correlated with her income: college graduates generally earn more than less-educated Americans. What might be less obvious is that education is also a significant determinant of many other very important outcomes, including whether individuals marry, whether their children grow up in households with two parents, and even how long they will live. What’s more, on all of these dimensions, the gap between highly educated and less-educated Americans is getting bigger—in some cases, much bigger.
The following facts help illustrate the state of educational attainment in the United States and the growing importance of education in determining people's well-being. On many dimensions—lifetime earnings, incarceration rates, and life expectancy, to name a few—Americans who do not graduate from high school or college are increasingly falling behind those with a college degree. This paper explores both the condition of education in the United States and the economic evidence on several promising K-12 interventions that could improve the lives of Americans.

If breast cancer spreads
Cancer cells can spread from the breast to other parts of the body. This spread is called metastasis.
Understanding how a type of cancer usually grows and spreads helps your healthcare team plan your treatment and future care.
If breast cancer spreads, it usually spreads to regional lymph nodes. These are lymph nodes on the same side of the body as the tumour in the following areas:
- under the arm
- around the collarbone
- around the breastbone
Breast cancer can also spread to:
Brock has been cancer free for over a decade, thanks to the support we received from the Canadian Cancer Society.
Great progress has been made
Some cancers, such as thyroid and testicular, have survival rates of over 90%. Other cancers, such as pancreatic, brain and esophageal, continue to have very low survival rates.

To do this tutorial you need to know what a tone is.
A minor 7th is a tone less than an octave.
- So C-Bb is a minor 7th because Bb is a tone down from C,
- and Eb-Db is a minor 7th because Db is a tone down from Eb.
Minor 7ths are often just called
7ths because they’re so much more common than major 7ths, so if you hear someone saying
a 7th they probably mean
a minor 7th.
Test yourself on 7ths, focusing on the ones you find hardest. For most people they’ll be the ones on Db and F#.
Sign up to my Piano Chords course to learn how to use minor 7ths in context.

Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous forms of distracted driving. Studies show that texting while driving may be even more dangerous than drinking and driving.
To combat the dangers of texting and driving, the Wisconsin State Patrol is teaming up with AAA and AT&T to hold events at Wisconsin high schools. The events will include a distracted driving simulator which demonstrates the effects of texting while driving.
Wisconsin is one of 37 states that ban texting and driving. It is a primary offense, meaning that law enforcement can pull over a driver for texting and driving. Fines can be as much as $400.
Wisconsin Auto Accident Attorneys on Driver Safety
Samster, Konkel & Safran, S.C. is participating in a safety campaign, where our Wisconsin personal injury attorneys give presentations on the dangers of distracted driving. If you know of a community group that would benefit from such a presentation, contact our Milwaukee personal injury lawyers and one of our Milwaukee automobile accident attorneys would be happy to arrange a presentation.

Ink Metering (or Micrometric or Feed) rollers for continuous inking systems play a crucial role in determining the flow and transfer of ink through the ink train. Most trains have very short inkers, which require the ink metering roller to ensure a delivery of constant ink flow, regardless of the quantity. This is extremely critical when printing spot colors. Also, with the use of more recycled papers, and lower grade papers, dust travels through the inker and is pushed towards the ink fountain ball roller. Consequently, the ink metering roller is subject to continued physical abrasion, while still being required to provide a consistent & constant flow of ink.

Encyclopedia of Life is a website dedicated to providing global access to knowledge about life on earth. EOL is a collaborative effort among scientists, citizen scientists and the general public to share millions of pages of information and multimedia about species, including moths! NMW participants can share photos of moths from their events with EOL’s Flickr Group or through one of the NMW partners that are already contributors to EOL (iNaturalist and the Moth Photographers Group).
EOL has a new database called TraitBank which contains natural history trait data. EOL’s TraitBank is a searchable, comprehensive, open digital repository for organism traits, measurements, interactions and other facts for all taxa across the tree of life. Using the data search tool you can find and download all data TraitBank holds for each attribute of interest. You can search and filter by specific values and by taxon, and can sort the results.
http://eol.org/info/traitbank and http://eol.org/data_search
EOL has also created a fun Moth Memory Game. Check it out!

Find out about the legal situation.
Sometimes people become so unwell they can present a risk to themselves or to other people, perhaps through neglect or through risky behaviours. The Mental Health Act provides a legal framework to make sure such people are properly assessed and treated. When it is used the person detained for assessment or treatment is often said to be 'sectioned', and various professionals are often involved, including a social worker, the person's GP, a mental health nurse, the police, or a psychiatrist.
Information should be provided to the person involved and to their family about what is happening and which part (section) of the Mental Health Act is being used and why. If you don't understand or think something is unfair or incorrect then ask questions and request written information. Close family members may be involved in the decision whether to use the Mental Health Act and there is also a right to appeal against the sections.
For reliable information, why not check out the resources at Mind found here.

We have been spending a lot more time outdoors the past couple of weeks thanks to a streak of nearly perfect weather. There is lots of good music to be had outdoors. I challenge you, to challenge your children, to find 10 different ways to make music with nature.
I don't want to take all the good ideas, so I'll just give a couple.
- Stepping on crunchy leaves. You could "put the beat in your feet" in a whole new way.
- Twisting your foot on gravel. Make patterns by alternating between the leaves and the gravel.
- Using a stick to hit the fence. Do all fences sound the same? Do different sticks sound the same on the same fence?
After you come up with 10 types of sounds to make, can you put them in rhythm while you sing your favorite song?
My next post will be a follow-up of what my daughter and I come up with.

Here in the United States, utilities are required by law to take steps to prevent injury or death to those animals on the Threatened or Endangered List (or protected species) whether it reduces power outages or not. For electric utilities, these animals will most often be raptors (birds of prey).
Raptor electrocutions are a subject of worldwide concern and there are many excellent organizations working with utilities to try to solve this problem. On this page, we are going to offer links to international sites that are working on the same problems we are. With your participation and this Web site, we can start an international dialoge that will benefit everyone. The first site we offer is a partnership between ESKOM (the largest electric utility in South Africa) and the Endangered Wildlife Trust. This is a great example of an innovative joint effort.

This list is devoted to discussion of of the United States Constitution. The Framers of the Constitution understood that all people receive their Rights from their Creator, and that governments derive their powers from the consent of the people. We will discuss the intention of the Framers (as evidenced by Madison's Notes on the Constitutional Convention) in creating this all important document to secure our Liberty from oppressive government. We will be covering course material from the grammar school text, "An Elementary Catechism on the Constitution"; anyone desiring a copy for home-school study may contact the moderator for ordering information.

At Glenn Arbour Academy, the learning process does not stop during recess. During a recent lunch recess, a group of children huddled around one of the seats at our outdoor classroom. Their curiosity was sparked by two visitors (please see the pictures). One of our science teachers did an impromptu lesson regarding our special visitors. The eyes and ears of all the children were very focused during the lesson. An important lesson regarding observing nature was learned and PRACTICED. The children were able to witness first hand the behaviour of the creatures that share our space. After being closely observed and ‘posing’ for pictures, our special visitors in the outdoor classroom went on in their merry way.

Water is key to mankind settling the Solar System. It can be used as water, or broken down into hydrogen and oxygen, it can provide fuel for rockets and air to breathe.
We now know water ice exists throughout the Solar System, from Mercury and Mars all the way into comets in the Oort Cloud. The largest ocean under the Sun may exist under the water ice shell of Jupiter's moon Europa, not on Earth.
Finding water won't be a problem. As we move out, we will likely move from water to water, like desert caravans move from oasis to oasis. The proper analogy of an interplanetary spaceship, then, may be less the sailing ship and more the camel.

In this unit, students will explore three types of folktales while practicing their critical thinking skills. In day one, students work in two groups to analyze texts, determine commonalities, and label their learning.
Dive in, and kick off Dark Day in the Deep Sea today! Your crew will assemble a flip book to cover standards this week, gain background information about the HMS Challenger, learn about their new skills and vocabulary, and begin the novel.
In day three of this fictional skill unit, we will re-read the second part of the text, "The Pain and the Great One," which focuses on the younger brother. We examine his character: traits, actions and words, and whether he changes in the story.

Using technology in the classroom is no longer the exception but the rule in most college classrooms. Now the question is not whether to use technology, but which technology to use. Among recent innovations is digital storytelling, a multimodal tool that can be used across disciplines. This paper reports on a pilot study designed to determine the feasibility and pedagogical value of using digital storytelling in an ESL writing course at an urban community college. The report documents a detailed plan for implementation and some of the challenges this process presents.

The Russell Tribunal, also known as the International War Crimes Tribunal or Russell-Sartre Tribunal, was a public body organized by British philosopher Bertrand Russell and hosted by French philosopher and playwright Jean-Paul Sartre. Along with Ken Coates, Ralph Schoenman, and several others, the tribunal investigated and evaluated American foreign policy and military intervention in Vietnam, following the 1954 defeat of French forces at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and the establishment of North and South Vietnam.
Bertrand Russell justified the establishment of this body as follows:
‘’ If certain acts and violations of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them. We are not prepared to lay down a rule of criminal conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against us. ’’
-Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief Prosecutor, Nuremberg War Crimes Trials.

Our expert says:
Busyliz, low sodium levels are called hyponatraemia and is probably the most common electrolyte disturbance seen in hospital patients (up to 1% of patients). Basically the causes can be divided in two main groups:
1. Sodium depletion in excess of water depletion or replacement of sodium with water alone.
2. Water intake in excess of water output (always implies impaired water excretion).
If you need more detail, please let me know. Just remember that this forum is intended for direct questions and answers and that I can’t really give you an in depth discussion on hyponatraemia. Good luck.

“All disease begins in the gut.” Hippocrates said this more than 2,000 years ago, but we’re only now coming to understand just how right he was. Research over the past two decades has revealed that gut health is critical to overall health, and that an unhealthy gut contributes to a wide range of diseases including diabetes, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, autism spectrum disorder, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome.
The number one culprit in destroying gut health is the wide and overspread use of antibiotics. While it’s extremely important to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use, what about those who have carefully considered their options and decided that antibiotics are necessary in their situation?
It will take some time and effort, but there are many things you can do both during and after a course of antibiotics to minimize the damage and encourage regrowth and diversification of your gut flora. Click To Keep Reading

How often does the same old sad story repeat itself? You set out for a nice walk along a seemingly pristine beach but once you're out on the sand, it's clogged with plastic bottles and other garbage. A grim report estimates that there are over 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic weighing over 250,000 tons floating on the world's oceans. All of that pollution has had a serious impact on the environment with evidence even suggesting that marine organisms as far as 10km beneath the surface have ingested plastic fragments.
The infographic below shows the distribution of plastic pollution across the world's oceans. The North Pacific has the highest level of contamination with nearly 2 trillion pieces of plastic while the Indian Ocean comes second with 1.3 trillion. According to a recent Greenpeace report, the world's top-6 companies sell plastic bottles weighing over 2 million tons every year - that's the same weight as 10,000 blue whales. Even though all plastic bottles can be recycled, unfortunately a huge number of them still end up in the ocean and landfill rather than the recycling plant.
