There’s nothing better than hot pancakes with fresh maple syrup! Have you ever thought about where this delicious sweetener comes from? Believe it or not, the answer is in its name maple syrup comes from maple trees!
In fact, maple syrup is made from the sap of North American maple trees, such as the sugar maple and black maple. Native Americans were the first to make maple syrup.
Sap is collected from maple trees in a process called tapping, which involves drilling into the trees and letting the sap pour into containers. After tapping, the sap is boiled and filtered until a smooth syrup is left. Now isn’t that sweet?!

Researchers couldn't understand why the pedometers they had attached to obese children showed they got plenty of exercise—until they realized they were counting dog steps, reports the BBC. Several of the London 11- and 12-year-olds taking part in the study simply attached the devices to their pets' collars.
"After a week we found there were some kids who were extremely active but still obese," said one professor. After adjusting for the dog steps, the study found boys took just 12,620 steps a day, well below the recommended 15,000 steps. Girls took 10,150 steps, short of their recommended 12,000 steps.

No. Bulbs need to be left alone for the leaves to turn brown naturally - a minimum of six weeks after flowering in the case of daffodils. If you don't, then the bulb has no time to store energy or manufacture flowers for next year.
If you need the containers, plant the bulbs in a spare bit of soil to allow them to die back fully. Once the leaves have died you can take them up and store them in a cool, dry spot until re-planting in September, although not all bulbs like being out of the soil - snowdrops, for example, will simply dry out and die.
If you can't put them in soil to allow them to die back naturally you may as well bin them.

Robots in combat are no longer a novelty in the U.S. military. Dangerous jobs such as explosives detection, warzone surveillance and precision-guided airstrikes already have been handed off to robots.
The Navy is taking the technology a step further.
Researchers believe robots are now smart enough that they can be trusted to take on tougher jobs like escorting and protecting billion-dollar warships. Robotic patrol boats could keep sailors out of harm’s way and ease the burden on overworked crews.
In an experiment in August, a team of engineers and naval officers deployed 13 robotic patrol craft on the James River in Virginia, and tested their ability to operate autonomously as escorts of a large U.S. ship, detect the presence of a potentially hostile ship, swarm around it and disable it.
It has taken more than a decade for the Navy to perfect the technology. The quest started 14 years ago when suicide bombers exploded a small boat alongside the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole as it was refueling in the Yemeni port of Aden. The explosion ripped a hole in the hull of the ship, killing 17 U.S. sailors.

A radioactive nucleus of mass 5 × 10–26 kg is at rest and emits two neutrons, each of mass 1.6 × 10–27 kg, at right angles to each other. If both have speeds of 360 m s–1, calculate the recoil speed of the nucleus. I named calculated the neutrons and named them p1 and p2. Since p1 = p2 Therefore the momentum of both equals 1.8x10-26 Using Pythagoras, I worked out the overall momentum to be 2.55x10-26 I then used the formula m1v1 = m2v2 and worked out the velocity to be 509-510ms-1; I didn't bother working out the angle because that was already the wrong answer. The real answer is 17.39ms-1. What have I done wrong? Thanks in advance.

The British Journal of Sports Medicine recently published two important papers on the health implications of physical activity and alcohol use.1 2 Relations between these behaviours surprise many because they typically exhibit a positive association.3 4 Health behaviours generally cluster into ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy’ bundles, so clinicians need to be aware of this mixed clustering before integrating physical activity with treatment for alcohol use disorders.5 These findings also raise questions about the interplay of these health behaviours and invite research that will characterise physical activity, alcohol use and the dynamics of these behaviours in greater detail. To characterise these behaviours, one must first consider some basic features of the behaviours.
First, physical activity is a complex behaviour and little is known about the specific features of physical activity exposure that drive the association with alcohol consumption or the extent to which this association is linear or curvilinear. The global individual difference variable used in mortality analysis by Perreault et …

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Haemophilia A is a classic X-linked disease which affects 1 in 5-10,000 males in all populations and is caused by defects in coagulation factor VIII. Roughly 60\% of patients have severe disease with factor VIII activity < 1\% of normal; they have frequent spontaneous bleeding into joints, soft tissues, muscles and internal organs. These patients usually require regular injections of plasma-derived or recombinant human factor VIII. Because this is expensive and can potentially lead to life-threatening complications, other forms of therapy, including gene therapy, have been proposed. Natural canine models of factor VIII and factor IX deficiency have been available for many years, and gene therapy attempts on these dogs have met with partial success. However, a small animal model of the disease is desirable for studies of factor VIII function and gene therapy. Using gene targeting, we have made a mouse with severe factor VIII deficiency.

Mount Olympus, Greek Mythology’s Home of the Gods
Mount Olympus is where life blends with mythology and the idealized archetypes with the aspects of the multi-faceted human psyche. Any climb to Mount Olympus starts from the town of Litochoro, Traditionally regarded as the imaginary abode of the Greek gods, it inspires respect not only by virtue of its height (the highest peak cuts the sky at 2,919 meters), but primarily by its divine mystery. It is here that Zeus mounted his throne, Hades remorselessly ruled the Underworld, and Poseidon rocked the seas. And although the myth of Sisyphus cursed to endlessly roll a giant boulder up a hill, or Prometheus, bound to a rock and having his liver eaten by an eagle seem nothing but fairy tales, a strenuous climb up the range may well give you a creepy shiver running down your spine.

Depression affects one in four Australians during their lifetime. The signs of depression include:
- Persistent low and depressed mood
- Loss of interest and enjoyment in usual activities
- Disturbance in sleep and appetite
- Fatigue and loss of energy
- Strong feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Often people are unaware that they are experiencing depression, and go for long periods of time feeling ‘not themselves’ or struggling to get through the day. This can cause stress and conflict within families, and significant disruption to work or everyday life. Depression can often present without an obvious trigger or cause, which leaves people wondering why they are suddenly feeling this way.
In children and adolescents, feelings of sadness can often present as anger or irritability. If you notice any of these changes in yourself or those around you, it is worth speaking to someone to find out what may be going on. Psychological therapy has been found to be an extremely useful treatment to depression, and is accessible to people of all ages.

Japanese electronics manufacturers are working to create a variety of technologies to cope with catastrophes. It's now days away from the 5th anniversary of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.
Fuji Electric has an early warning system to detect possible damage to buildings soon after an earthquake strikes. It uses sensors to check if a building is at risk of collapsing.
It issues an alarm within minutes of a quake occurring, including one to evacuate.
NEC is working on analyzing camera footage in public places to identify likely accident spots. That's in case an earthquake or other disasters leave many commuters stranded at train stations and other areas.
Mitsubishi Electric wants to commercialize a technology to help with communication.
It sprays sea water into the air to form an antenna to receive television broadcasts or a phone signal.
It uses the sea water's ability to conduct electricity.

The poor nations are standing up for their rights (see cover); and the 30th parallel may become the Mason-Dixon line for a worldwide reenactment of the "war between the states." The two antagonists are, roughly speaking, the northern developed world and the southern underdeveloped world. And the issue once again is slavery. Get ready for another North-vs.-South "war between the states," fought- over slavery. This time the battles won't be fought at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, or Bull Run. The new skirmishes may be fought anywhere from Saskatoon to Singapore, and the arsenal of potential weapons may range from prices in your supermarket to nuclear weapons. The two antagonists are, generally speaking, the North (the developed world) and the South (the underdeveloped world). This classic match-up may eventually heat up enough to displace the East-West square-off as the predominant ideological, political, and military confrontation on earth. In somewhat of a role reversal, it's the southerners who' are trying to free the slaves, which they consider to be themselves.

In this lesson you will learn how to use RATE function in Excel.
Using RATE function you can calculate interest rates of investments or loans
- nper - how many installments would you pay
- pmt - how much you pay every month
- pv - present value
- fv - future value
Example 1 Interest rate of loan
The company offers installment sale. Installments are spread over 50 installments, the monthly repayment amount is $15000. Price is $1000000. What interest rate offers seller, per month and per year?
As you see you should type PMT with minus sign. You pay money off so it cause that you spend that money.
Answer: The result is the monthly interest rate: 1.07%. Yearly interest rate is 12*1.07% = 12.90%.
Example 2 Interest rate for weekly installments
What is interest rate for $10 000 loan. Weekly $600 payments are made for 7 years. You have to pay at the beginning of week.
Answer: The result is the weekly interest rate: 6.38%

Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1847)
Illustrated by Sir John Gilbert
Wikipedia - "Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie is an epic poem by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, written in English and published in 1847. The poem follows an Acadian girl named Evangeline and her search for her lost love Gabriel, set during the time of the Expulsion of the Acadians. The idea for the poem came from Longfellow's friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Longfellow used dactylic hexameter, imitating Greek and Latin classics, though the choice was criticized. It became Longfellow's most famous work in his lifetime and remains one of his most popular and enduring works. The poem had a powerful effect in defining both Acadian history and identity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. ..."

you provide opportunities for students to set personal goals, and to determine their needs, interests and learning preferences?
School Effectiveness Framework, 2013
“Motivation, engagement and student voice are [critical elements] of student-centered learning. Without motivation, there is no push to learn; without engagement there is no way to learn; and without voice, there is no authenticity in the learning. For students to create new knowledge, succeed academically, and develop into healthy adults, they require each of these experiences.”
Toshalis, E., & Nakkula, M. J. (2012).Motivation, Engagement and Student Voice, Jobs for the Future.
“Teachers should try to help students relate to academic information through their experiences, goals, and interests. Students can find personal relevance in all kinds of events in the world around them... making material authentically meaningful to each learner is crucial.”
Willis, J. (2007). Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom.

The Ayutthaya Historical Park covers the ruins of the old city of Ayutthaya, Thailand. The city of Ayutthaya was founded by King Ramathibodi I in 1350 and was the capital of the country until its destruction by the Burmese army in 1767.
In 1969 the Fine Arts Department began with renovations of the ruins, which became more serious after it was declared a historical park in 1976. The park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
Thirty-five kings ruled the Ayutthaya kingdom during its existence. King Narai (1656 CE to 1688 CE) not only held court in Ayutthaya but also from his palace in the nearby city of Lopburi, from where he ruled 8–9 months in the year.

In November 1863 Sgt. William Walker of the 3rd South Carolina Volunteers led a group of men to lay down their arms in Jacksonville, Florida, and resign from the Army in protest, arguing that they had been promised equal treatment when they enlisted. Walker’s case prompted increased public discussion of the issue, and in December Secretary of War Edwin Stanton asked that the pay of all soldiers be equalized. The families of black soldiers suffered as opposition and long debates in Congress delayed the action. In February 1864 Sergeant Walker was court-martialed and shot for mutiny.
Finally, in June 1864 Congress passed legislation giving black soldiers equal pay, retroactive to January 1, 1864, for all soldiers and to the time of enlistment for those who had been free men when they joined.

The researches estimate that the carbon legacy of the average female in the United States is 18,500 tonnes of CO2 while that of a Bangladeshi woman is only 136 tonnes.
In other words, the future stream of carbon emissions following a decision by an American couple to have an extra child is 130 times greater that of a decision by a Bangladeshi couple.
Put another way, to have the same impact on future global carbon emissions, a decision by one American couple not to have a child would have to be matched by 130 Bangladeshi couples.
Therefore it makes no sense to single out population growth without linking people to their expected consumption.
Recognising that it is affluence rather than population growth that is mainly responsible for the climate crisis allows us to recast the famous Malthusian theory.

Bun Granville and Will Rogers who give their address as Rock Springs Park, East Liverpool, in the Variety ad were black face or “burnt cork” minstrel comics who appeared on vaudeville stages at the same time Will Rogers was becoming well known as a trick roper.
|White blackface performers in the past |
used burnt cork and later greasepaint
or shoe polish to blacken their skin.
“Although the American Theatre continued to sponsor vaudeville shows and the Ceramic sponsored spectacular stage shows and appearances by performers like Will Rogers, both theatres also showed movies.”
Blackface Minstrel shows ended in the United States with the U.S. Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. But those of us too young to remember them might remember the American country music television show Hee Haw (1969–1993). According to one account, its format resembled the content of a minstrel show, musical numbers interspersed with rapid-fire comedy bits.

1.1 Living with death and dying
Knowledge and beliefs about death can have a profound effect both on the way people live and the way they approach their own death. In this course we look in depth at these issues. There are three sections.
The first section addresses the effects that the knowledge that we die has on our lives. Here we explore how the beliefs people hold about death affect the meaning they attach to life. We try to imagine what life would be like if it did not end in death. Given that we do die, we examine how the ways in which a close brush with death may influence the way people live subsequently. Developing this theme further, the second section assesses the phenomenon of ‘near-death’ experiences.
The final section looks at the way beliefs and attitudes towards death affect the quality of dying. We take up the problematic concept of ‘a good death’ and through the use of case studies analyse this concept in relation to individual experience.

A joint study by Gallup and the Walk Free Foundation finds that the global scourge of slavery has now grown to include 35.8 million adults and children worldwide.
In raw numbers, India was found to have the highest number of slaves (14.3 million), followed by China (3.2 million), and Pakistan (2.1 million).
“When I refused to return, my father dug a deep hole in the ground. He forced me into it and began to bury me. I still wonder if he really would have buried me alive if the neighbours hadn’t heard my screaming and stopped him,” said Shahida.
“Religion and slavery are closely interrelated in Mauritania,” says the report. “Religion is often used by masters as justification for ownership over another person. Activists say some Imams (Islamic religious leaders) continue to speak in favour of slavery in mosques, particularly in rural areas.”
Poverty was found to be a risk factor for slavery; however, “poverty alone does not tell the whole story,” reports Gallup. Other drivers of modern slavery included belief systems and attitudes, as well as corruption and poor governance.

This species is known from north-eastern and western Querétaro, north-eastern Puebla and adjacent Veracruz, south to south-central Veracruz, in Mexico.
Habitat and Ecology
It inhabits montane forest, and breeding takes place in temporary streams.
It is not common.
Conversion of forest to agricultural land has resulted in the disappearance of the original habitat of this species. The mesic montane forest is one of the most heavily impacted environments in Mexico. Pollution from mining is also degrading the quality of the species' habitat.
The range of this species does not include any protected areas, and habitat preservation and restoration is required. It is listed as "Threatened" by the Mexican government.
This species was previously included in the genus Hyla but has recently been moved to the new genus Tlalocohyla (Faivovich et al. 2005).

The Citizen Handbook
What is a Constitution?
When people live or work together, they
need to agree on how they will run their affairs. In a political state, as well
as in some organizations, this agreement takes the form of a constitution. A
constitution establishes the most important principles, rules, and structures that
govern a political state or organisation. It also regulates the power of the state
or organization and reinforces its accountability to its members. Furthermore, a
constitution is the most important law of a state or organization, also known
as the ‘supreme law.’ This means that all other laws subsequently passed by the
state or organization must find their basis in the constitution.
Some of the issues any constitution must address are:
· determine which people belong to that state or organization and are governed by the constitution;
· decide how leaders representing the people are to be chosen, their roles and duties and how they are to be removed;
· define how the resources of the state or organization are to be managed and distributed; and
· provide ways to resolve conflict within the state or organization when they arise.

A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) act by inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin by blocking the transporters responsible for reuptake of these neurotransmitters. This inhibition elevates the concentration of neurotransmitters in the synapses and triggers further neurotransmission.
Tricyclic antidepressants are used to treat depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mood disorders. They are also effective as analgesics so are used to treat chronic pain and used for migraine prophylaxis.

Traditional risk assessments are designed to identify potential risks from exposure to contaminated food, water or air. Risk assessments are the foundation behind fish advisories, remediations and the use of Superfund Sites. Risk assessments are typically conducted using pre-determined variables, such as the average amount of fish eaten per day, or typical use of outdoor areas such as recreational fishing. These assessments are often inadequate for indigenous communities, which have unique cultural activities and often rely on subsistence fishing and/or harvesting. These activities can therefore place indigenous communities at increased risk which are not captured by typical risk assessments.
To improve risk assessments amongst indigenous communities, an understanding of unique traditional and cultural practices, as well as the associated legal and historical considerations is needed.
Tribes’ Unique, Political, Legal and Historical Circumstances: Implications for Research
In this module, Catherine O’Neill, JD and Nazune Menka provide an overview of the legal and historical context that surrounds tribal fishing rights. We have provided several recent articles that demonstrate the interconnectedness of the environment, fishing and indigenous culture.

jacobian calculates the symbolic Jacobian \(df/dx\) of a polynomial \(f(x)\).
J = jacobian(f,x)
With only 1 argument, the differentiation is performed with respect to all involved variables (more precisely, with respect to the variables ecover(depends(f)))
x1 = sdpvar(1,1); x2 = sdpvar(1,1); f = x1^2+5*x2^2; sdisplay(jacobian(f)) ans = '2*x1' '10*x2'
Giving a second argument controls what variables to differentiate with respect to
sdisplay(jacobian(f,x2)) ans = '10*x2'

At Blurton, we pride ourselves on the devlopment of children's knowledge of the World and encourage the improvment of their scientific enquiry skills. These are built up from Foundation Stage throughout the school. During the completion of the PSQM, we have worked hard to ensure that a variety of different methods are used to develop these skills, including:
- the use of collaborative learning - children working with their peers, in pairs or in small groups;
- recording scentific enquiry using different methods - written work, use of photographs and use of videos to name but a few;
- independent learning;
- investigating the school grounds and the local area.
We hope that you enjoy looking at the small selection of photographs that we have included to show some of our Scientific Enquiry within school.

Free download complete engineering seminar Bandwidth Recycling Seminar ppt
IEEE 802.16 standard was designed to support the bandwidth demanding applications with quality of service (QoS). Bandwidth is reserved for each application to ensure the QoS. For variable bit rate (VBR) applications, however, it is difficult for the subscriber station (SS) to predict the amount of incoming data. To ensure the QoS guaranteed services, the SS may reserve more bandwidth than its demand. As a result, the reserved bandwidth may not be fully utilized all the time. In this paper, we propose a scheme, named Bandwidth Recycling, to recycle the unused bandwidth without changing the existing bandwidth reservation.
The idea of the proposed scheme is to allow other SSs to utilize the unused bandwidth when it is available. Thus, the system throughput can be improved while maintaining the same QoS guaranteed services. Mathematical analysis and simulation are used to evaluate the proposed scheme. Simulation and analysis results confirm that the proposed scheme can recycle 35% of unused bandwidth on average. By analyzing factors affecting the recycling performance, three scheduling algorithms are proposed to improve the overall throughput. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm improves the overall throughput by 40% in a steady network.

Sila means restraining one’s bodily and verbal actions, maintaining good moral conduct. One who observes morality avoids doing evil actions either physically or verbally. All human beings should observe the five moral precepts well just as they wear nether garments well. It is essential that everyone be endowed with good morality. So everyone should observe the five moral precepts. For other higher moral precepts (Uposatha Sila), the more one can observe them, the greater the benefits will be. The merit of morality surpasses that of charity. One who is endowed with morality will be reborn in fortunate existences throughout the round of rebirths, Samsara.

Portugal's neutrality made its capital, Lisbon, the gateway to freedom out of a predominantly Nazi-occupied Europe. Here, Jewish exiles, anti-Nazis and Gestapo Agents all rubbed elbows in the city of light that defied the wartime blackouts that were common in the rest of Europe.
Everything in Europe that could flee from the Germans came to Lisbon.
All of these people stopped here, where the waves of the sea begin.
Lisbon was, for an overwhelming majority of refugees, a place of passage in their way to the United States or South America. Their concerns while waiting in Lisbon, revolved around their exit visa, the passport, the ticket that would grant them access to the boat or the airplane. Sometimes the political police(*) would intervene in the process, not always to facilitate the process. It was a dense and suspicious bureaucracy that welcomed the refugees in Lisbon, although it didn't prevent the most part of finding a way to leave in their way to freedom.
(*) Keep in mind Portugal was under Salazar's dictatorship for 48 years

The alveolar veins include the inferior alveolar vein and the posterior alveolar vein. Both of these veins are also considered dental veins.
The inferior alveolar vein drains blood from the lower teeth and jaw, and the posterior alveolar artery assists it in completing this function. The inferior alveolar vein can also drain blood to the pterygoid plexus, a network of veins located near the cheek.
The posterior alveolar vein, on the other hand, works to drain blood from the molars and gums.
The alveolar veins are located in the mandibular canal. This canal is a horizontal chamber located inside of the ramus, which is the back portion of the lower jaw. The inferior and posterior alveolar veins are arranged in a network of veins, allowing them to empty blood out into a series of veins and muscles, including the pterygoid muscles, which serve as tributaries (drainages) for the facial vein.

Fallen leaves provide a plentifull source of nutrients for your garden. Collecting them from the lawn also prevents damage to the grass.
Rake, Plastic Bag, Compost Activator, Watering Can, Gloves
Use a spring-tined rake to gather all the leaves together in a heap.
Place the collected leaves in a sturdy plastic bag. You can use an old compost bag turned black side out to absorb the sunlight and heat the cotents to speed decomposition.
If you wish you can water the contents of the bag with a compost activator solution. Fold the top of the bag over and stand it in a sunny spot.
Leave the bag for 12 months at which point the leaves should have broken into a rich, nutritious compost that you can spread on your borders.

Sealants are a thin plastic coating that protects bacteria and food from lodging in the cracks and crevices of teeth, particularly the back teeth that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush and floss. This cavity prevention technique is especially effective with children, and it’s recommended that they have sealants applied to their back teeth as soon as their adult molars appear.
As effective as sealants are, they don’t take the place of good at-home preventative dental care. Both children and adults should brush and floss their teeth at least twice a day, ideally right after meals. The proper way to brush and floss teeth is to floss first and then brush, spending two to three minutes on your teeth. Rinsing after you brush with an anticavity mouthwash helps to further prevent cavities.

A new study involving the ways ravens behave when they think they are being spied on suggests these famously intelligent birds posses the human-like ability of abstract thought.
Halloween is often associated with many iconic, spooky animals. From spiders, to black cats, ravens, werewolves and vampire bats, innocent creatures seem to get a bad rep for the fear they instill in humans. But are the animals really all that spooky?
It's no secret that ravens are exceptionally intelligent birds. Featured in myth and legend as doom-sayers, tricksters, and magical familiars, the wit of the raven is well known. Now new research has found that ravens are even capable of solving tasks that require coordinated cooperation -- an ability only a handful of hyper-intelligent species are capable of.
It appears that ravens may be even more viciously political than your average high school drama queen. That's at least according to a new study of these highly intelligent birds, who appear to have a social system that's characterized by alliances, betrayal, and sabotage between "friends."

Alabama has a rich railroading history beginning in 1830 when the General Assembly of Alabama chartered the the first railroad in the state, the Tuscumbia Railroad. The Tuscumbia Railroad connected the town of Tuscumbia, AL to what is now Sheffield on the Tennessee River. Since 1830, railroads became a major form of transportation for people as well as goods. Many towns came to be because of the railroad and railroads enabled young Alabama (the 22nd state to join the Union on December 14, 1819) on to develop a thriving economy.
Although many railroads and routes no longer exist, Alabama still has a strong railroading presence through various shortlines as well as Class I railroads. We encourage you to learn more of our railroading past as well as our railroading future!

A theme that seems to come up a lot when learning about body parts is monsters and aliens. I have several activities where students have to either describe or create monsters - students love getting to see weird monsters and being creative when they come up with their own.
Last week with German 2 we were finishing up class a little early. We were in the middle of our body parts unit, so I came up with a closing activity based on the monster descriptions students had just been doing. I asked students to get out a piece of paper and trace their hand. With just this outline, students then had to create a monster by adding different body parts to it.
Here are some of their monsters:
Afterward, you can have students describe different monsters to each other. You'll have a variety of monsters to choose from, but the beauty is that they all start with a hand - every student will have a base to build off of.
It was a fun, quick activity that I would recommend trying as a closing (or opening) for class.

Your garden is likely to have small yet important microclimates. Shadows can cause a cold pocket, and a hard surface facing the sun can reflect too much heat. These areas will not only change daily but also with the seasons. Summer might be too hot for lettuce but great for tomatoes. Anticipate these changes when you decide where to grow your garden.
You may have at least four different microclimates around your home:
- A hot side facing south
- A shadowed, cool side on the north
- A warm western side with afternoon sun
- An ever-changing eastern side that may be warm or cool depending
on trees, high fencing or the time of year
Carefully observe heat and light to know where to create your garden. Position your raised beds, rows or plots to run north and south so plants will receive more sunlight in winter and not shade each other. In winter, keep tall trellised plants against the north wall and the shorter plants to the south. In the summer, do the opposite. These are the basics of microclimates.
Gardening Basics is a nine part series outlining how you can get a healthy and beautiful garden the pure and natural way

Pomegranate - i.e., "grained apple" (pomum granatum), Hebrew: rimmon. Common in Egypt (Num. 20:5) and Palestine (13:23; Deut. 8:8). The Romans called it Punicum malum, i.e., Carthaginian apple, because they received it from Carthage. It belongs to the myrtle family of trees. The withering of the pomegranate tree is mentioned among the judgments of God (Joel 1:12). It is frequently mentioned in the Song of Solomon (Cant. 4:3, 13, etc.). The skirt of the high priest's blue robe and ephod was adorned with the representation of pomegranates, alternating with golden bells (Ex. 28:33,34), as also were the "chapiters upon the two pillars" (1 Kings 7:20) which "stood before the house."

Reading from left to right, the tribute depicts a
grater that is used on the yucca (guayo) root imaged by an s-shaped object.
The grid barbeque, just to the right of the root, cooked the casaba bread imaged above. A cacique, or chief, is represented between
the barbeque and a tall guayiga plant that was also part of the tribute. Finally, a long boat which shipped the casaba bread and
guayiga to the Spanish camps is depicted.

According to a new report, the seasonal flu has killed over 110,500 kids under the age 5 worldwide. This report revealed the burden of the seasonal flu on those 5 years old and younger.
“Influenza is the second most common pathogen identified in children with [acute lower respiratory infections] and contributes substantially to the burden of hospitalization and mortality in young children,” an international team of researchers reported Thursday in The Lancet.
Children are vulnerable to the complications that come from the flu and are the biggest spreaders of the flu virus.
The flu vaccine is 59% effective in preventing the flu. Among the 115 children in the US who died from the flu last year, less than a quarter of them had received the flu vaccine.
Watch this video to see your options in receiving the flu vaccine.
And remember, wash your hands properly, sneeze into your upper arm not your hands and cover your cough.
If you are a healthcare worker you can purchase medical scrubs that are self cleaning and protect against all bodily fluids as they are fluid repelling. Protect yourself and your patients from spreading sneezes and coughs throughout your hospital or office.

If you need another reason to drink coffee, University of North Dakota researchers at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) may have just the reason. In the brain there is a blood-brain barrier (BBB), and high cholesterol levels affect it by breaking it down. Caffeine protects the BBB, which means it reduces the chance a person will suffer a neurological disorder, such as Alzheimer’s Disease.
Researchers discovered this fact when they gave rabbits the equivalent of a cup of coffee each day. They found “caffeine appears to block several of the disruptive effects of cholesterol that make the blood-brain barrier leaky.” Apparently, by doing so caffeine also helps proteins bind tightly to cells of the BBB and that prevents the leakage.
Researchers found people who drink as little as one cup a day can receive these BBB benefits. So, go ahead and enjoy that cup of joe!

Paramedic degree programs can take up to two years to complete. These programs typically include about 1,200 hours of classroom and hands-on instruction in life saving procedures.Continue Reading
Before applying to a degree program, students may need to complete EMT and Advanced EMT coursework, which can take up to 450 hours, or less than one year. Students may also want to complete coursework in biology, physiology and anatomy to adequately prepare for advanced life saving methods and techniques. Students should earn CPR certification before applying to a degree program. Many technical schools, community colleges and universities offer paramedic degree programs. Coursework typically includes wound care and stitching, how to give medications to patients and how to use specific medical equipment. Paramedics who want to drive an ambulance must complete an additional 8 hours of driver training.
After completing a degree program, paramedics must pass the National Registry of Medical Technicians exam to earn a license. Some states require that paramedics pass this exam only to earn a license, while other states require paramedics to also pass a state exam. In most states, students who want to take paramedic exams must be 18 years of age or over. Students must also pass a background check.Learn more about Career Aspirations

This Brief is based on a longer paper, Poverty and Gender Inequalities: Evidence from Young Lives (2011). It is one of a series of four briefs which accompany the release of the Round 3 survey data and country reports.
Analysis of Young Lives data challenges assumptions and suggests that gender is one source of inequality, alongside poverty, geographical location, ethnicity or caste status, which can intersect to impact negatively on children’s life chances and on girls differently from boys. To improve equality of life chances, policy interventions will have most success by targeting absolute poverty and broader structural inequalities.

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured , along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
2003 March 6
Explanation: After last month's dramatic swoop past the Sun, Comet NEAT (C/2002 V1) appeared as a naked-eye comet, emerging from the evening twilight in planet Earth's southern skies. On March 1st, New Zealand photographer Noel Munford captured this telephoto view of the outbound comet close to the southwestern horizon against the faint stars of the constellation Sculptor. He reports that the picture is a good representation of the comet's visual appearance on that date and estimates the impressive tail to be five or six degrees long. Discovered last November as part of the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking program, there was some speculation that this comet would not survive its close encounter with the Sun. However, Comet NEAT is now returning to the outer solar system, diving southward and fading fast.

Fracking Linked to Cancer-Causing Chemicals, Yale Study Finds
Children are an especially vulnerable population.
Oct. 26, 2016
"Yet another study has determined that hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, might be a major public health threat. In one of the most exhaustive reviews to date, researchers from the Yale School of Public Health have confirmed that many of the chemicals involved and released by the controversial drilling process can be linked to cancer."
The expansion of fracking, defined as "unconventional oil and gas development" has dangerous consequences to the air we breathe and the water we drink. We can stop the spread here and now and stay safe.

Anarchism is a political theory, which aims to create a society within which individuals freely co-operate together as equals. Anarchism opposes all forms of hierarchical control, including state or capitalist. Anarchism, consequently, is a political theory that aims to create a society, which is without political, economic or social hierarchies. It sees these as being harmful to the individual and their individuality and also unnecessary. Anarchists retain that anarchy, the absence of rulers, is a feasible form of social system and so work for the maximization of individual liberty and social equality. They see the goals of liberty and equality as mutually self-supporting.…

Attention Assignment editors
Ottawa The Canadian Union of public Employees (CUPE) has joined with the Solidarity Network in calling for a public inquiry into the suppression of dissent around the Summit of the Americas.
We have heard stories of abduction of protesters who were peacefully demonstrating, we have also heard that many protesters were being dropped off in the middle of nowhere after being released from jail, there have been reports of women being strip searched in front of male officers, said Judy Darcy, National President of CUPE.
What happened in Quebec threatens the very notion that we live in a democratic state. The right to dissent was suppressed and protesters faced the brutality of the security forces if they dared exercise their right to dissent. This is not acceptable and the federal government must assume its responsibilities for having allowed such a repressive response to protesters, added Darcy.
This inquiry must explore the actions taken and methods used by government and government agencies to suppress dissent, the underlying and systemic causes of this suppression, the public health and environmental impacts of the methods used, and the consequences for the future of our democratic institutions and practices, concluded Darcy.

Jackie Robinson was the first, but not the only African American player to cross over Major League Baseball’s “invisible color line” in 1947. Larry Doby played his first game for the Cleveland Indians on July 5th of that year to become the first African American in the American League (the Dodgers and Robinson were in the National League). Two weeks later, the St. Louis Browns signed two black ballplayers: Willard Brown and Hank Thompson and then in August the Dodgers signed Don Bankhead.
The Browns ignored other African American players with Major League potential they could have signed at that time. It lost the opportunity to be a part of baseball history. The team did not sign another one until 1953 when under the new ownership.

The Guardian has an opinion piece about a new study by US scientists that indicates that camping can dramatically improve your sleep. The secret isn’t S’Mores or mosquitos, but the direct exposure to the environment that will reset your body’s natural internal clock. Human physiology naturally responds to the rising and setting of the sun, and artificial light can interfere with this process. Not so in the great outdoors, where it’s just the sun and the moon.
Plus, since cellular network and Wi-Fi signals are hard to come by out in nature, you won’t have the distraction of your mobile device to keep you up past the time when your body is naturally telling you to go to sleep.
And, there’s more:
But it’s not just getting more natural light that makes being outdoors beneficial. The biophilia hypothesis suggests humans have an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. It’s believed that the deep affiliations we have with other life forms and nature as a whole are in our biology.

Poisonous to: Cats, Dogs
Level of toxicity: Generally mild to moderate
Common signs to watch for:
- Lip smacking
- Head shaking
Certain types of yuletide plants (e.g., mistletoe, rosemary, holly berries, etc.) can be toxic to pets. Varieties of English, Japanese, and Chinese Holly contain toxic saponins. When Christmas or English holly is ingested, it can result in severe gastrointestinal upset (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea) thanks to the spiny leaves and the potentially toxic substances (including saponins, methylxanthines, and cyanogens). If ingested, most pets lip smack, drool, and head shake excessively due to the mechanical injury from the spiny leaves.
To be on the safe side, keep your yuletide plants out of reach of your dogs and cats during the holidays. If you suspect your pet has ingested holly, contact your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline for treatment recommendations.
Poison type: Plants
Alternate names: Ilex, English holly, Chinese holly, Japanese holly, saponins

There are lot of other types of counting , besides counting calories, which you should do on a daily basis.
— 8 glasses of water a day
By consuming this much water, you will strongly hydrate your whole organism. If you do not enter as much water as needed, your metabolism will slow and you will lose excess weight much harder.
— 7 hours of sleep
You have increased feeling of hunger due to lack of sleep. This is why you should sleep enough. This way you will normalize your metabolism and will decrease the feeling of hunger.
— 4 times of exercise a week
Persistence leads to great results. This is why you should eat more frequently.
— 2 cps of fruit a day
Foods rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber will give you the feeling of satiety for a longer period of time and will provide the necessary intake of vitamins. Besides healthy meals, you will do not have the need to entering junk food.

Who needs to be attracted to the content the most?
A kindergarten student will probably not understand or be captivated by a technical drawing. Neither will a preteen boy enjoy a book with illustrations geared to preteen girls. A story must capture the audience that it's intended to reach.
Age differentiates the audience. So does geography. So does the surrounding social culture. So does the political atmosphere. So do major events in their lives. Parents who have lost children may look on things differently than parents who have not. By listing the intersecting sectors of society, a target audience emerges.
At times the many factors can confuse illustrators. Why can't we just make pictures? However, knowing how the target audience thinks and what they value can really aid the artist as he creates illustrations that have meaning for the audience. And if an audience finds meaning in an illustration, the story becomes all the more powerful in their eyes.

Become a Better Teacher by Knowing Your Students
Abilities by Age (Children)
Children grow up very quickly. They always seem to be changing! Sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with them! Being aware of how they grow and develop can help us as we plan for their care and comfort in our classrooms. It can also help us understand how to better plan and present our lessons and activities.
Each child, as they grow, develops physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. What follows is a brief discussion of how children typically grow in each of these areas. This list is not all-inclusive and is meant only to help guide you as a teacher.

Dry Mouth Tips
Tips to Manage Your Dry Mouth
Dry mouth can be a symptom of an underlying disease.
If unattended, dry mouth can lead to tooth decay, gingivitis, root cavities and oral irritation.
Brush at least twice daily and floss once a day.
Over 1,800 Rx and over-the-counter medications are known to cause dry mouth.
Take frequent sips of water. Try to drink more water during meals and keep a glass of water at your bedside.
Eat foods that need chewing to stimulate the production of saliva.
A humidifier can increase moisture in your home which can reduce dry mouth syndromes.
Caffeine, spicy and salty foods as well as alcohol consumption can increase dry mouth.
Look for products that, like Salese, provide long lasting dry mouth relief and help to protect teeth and gums.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs have “found a simple and yet powerful way to induce nanoparticles to assemble themselves into complex arrays,” and are now working on paper-thin printable solar cells!
Led by Ting Xu (one of Popular Science’s “Brilliant 10” young researchers), their technique also “promises to revolutionize the data storage industry, eventually leading to the contents of hundreds of DVDs fitting into a space the size of a thumbnail,” and could also create ultra-small electronic devices.

Do you brush your teeth every day? Can you imagine how long it would take to brush your teeth or the giant toothbrush you would need to brush an elephant tusk?! Elephants aren’t the only creatures with big teeth called tusks. Come with me, Jungle Jim, on an adventure as we discover animals with tusks.
Elephants may be the animals most famous for having tusks. There are only two types of elephants; the African elephant and the Asian Elephant. Boy and girl African elephants have tusks, while only boy Asian elephants have tusks.
Elephant tusks are made of ivory and are very strong. Their tusks never stop growing and can become very large. Elephants use their tusks for digging, looking for food, fighting other elephants, protecting from predators and moving things out of the way. Some elephants have even been trained to move heavy logs with their tusks.
Do you use your right hand or left hand more? Similar to people, elephants choose a tusk that they like to use the most. The tusk they use most often is called the master tusk.

The season of yellow has passed. The wildflowers of spring and the many shades of yellow are replaced by the many shades of blue. Lilac and wisteria in the garden and bluebells in the woods.
The sky was painted with a thin layer of paint to allow the later layers of the foliage to sit on top without too much interference from the white in the sky mix. When painting ‘wet on wet’, this is always a problem. The white will destroy the rich shadows. The darker colours were placed on top in blobs of solvent rich paint. Any attempt to ‘paint’ in the traditional manner will cause mixing.
When it came to painting the trunks of the trees this mixing with the under colour produced the lighter shades. Just drawing the brush across the surface was enough to lift the lighter sky colour. For the darker fine tree branches I dragged some of the aforementioned blobs of paint in lines to suggest the branches. This is easier than loading the brush with paint and sketching the multitude of fine lines required.
The colours used were Winsor Lemon, Permanent Rose and Cobalt Blue, plus black and white.
Here’s the video of the painting process.

The lower Mississippi River channel contains a significant reservoir of sand that could help to mitigate land loss at the river mouth, according to a study published online in Nature Geoscience. Upstream dams had previously been thought to be starving the Mississippi river delta of the sediment required to build new land and prevent the drowning of the river delta.
Jeffrey Nittrouer and Enrica Viparelli analysed sediment loads in the lower Mississippi River and found that although the total amount of sediment - both sand and mud - has diminished, the amount of sand has not significantly declined since dam construction. Furthermore, numerical modelling suggests that the amount of sand in the lower Mississippi River channel will decline by less than 20% in the next 600 years.
Assuming that sand is more important than mud for the construction of deltaic land, the study proposes that sand will be readily available in the coming centuries to help prevent the Mississippi River delta from drowning.

Statisticians at the Department of Justice have the unique challenge of showing Canada wide crime related statistics while still emphasizing the feeling that Canada is a small community of people. In other words personalize otherwise sterile and formal statistical data.
Using 3D terrain visualization software and GIS we attempted to show Canada as a community of 100 houses, each representing 1% of Canadians. Statistical data in GIS format was directly linked to each of the 100 house 3D objects allowing different types of data to be shown in this 3D environment. Each object could then have its' colour, size, orientation and style changed dynamically to represent single or multiple statistical values.
This slide demonstrates how Canada can be represented as a small community.
This slide is 3D graphical representation of statistical data

Road detection is an important issue for outdoor unmanned vehicle navigation. However, it is difficult to determine because outdoor exist many kinds of materials and environment changes such as illumination and weather. In this paper, we present a method of road detection based on optimal classifier fusion. We extract a ground plane region using geometric information that is robust to the environmental changes. In this region, a suitable area for driving is determined based on photometry classifiers, hue and texture. For accurate classification, we determine optimal fusion ratio through recognition rate and correct classification rate for each ratio of classifiers. The ratio gives two different results according to the object of the material classes. Experimental results show that our approach can detect the road effectively in different environments.
Key words - Road detection, optimal classifier fusion, optimal fusion ratio.

Moodier than normal; stubborn or irritable when challenged or correctedAll Alzheimer's Symptoms
When it happens Mild- to moderate-stage dementia
Why it happens It's distressing to realize that "something's wrong" and you're making more mistakes or forgetting things. Between worrying and working hard to compensate for shortcomings, the person is expending a lot of extra mental energy. There can also be an element of denial. Net result: a shorter temper and unwillingness to have mistakes pointed out.
What you can do
Don't take mood swings personally. Even though they seem directed at you, the root cause is what's happening in the brain rather than something you've said or done.
Be as supportive as possible. Don't pick fights, and try to stay even-keeled yourself.
Help the person compensate for memory loss by sticking to routines, leaving notes, repeating yourself, and issuing reminders.
Know that it can help to name the feelings rather than ignoring them: "You seem upset today." "Is it frustrating when you forget things like that?"
Be watchful for signs of depression, which people with dementia are at higher risk of developing.

Wasps are insects that have slender bodies, narrow waists, thin legs and a shiny appearance. While there are hundreds of species of wasps, the most familiar types are paper wasps, yellow jackets and baldfaced hornets.
The paper wasp is dark brown colour, the yellow jacket has alternating black and yellow stripes and the baldfaced hornet is black with white markings on its face.
The paper wasp builds its small, inverted nest of various chambers under eaves, in attics, garages and sheds. The yellow jacket's large nest is normally underground, while the baldfaced hornet constructs a large, pear-shaped nest in trees or attaches it to buildings.
Paper wasps and baldfaced hornets are about 1 inch in length. The yellow jacket is half that size. There are usually only a few wasps in a paper wasp nest, but baldfaced hornets may number in the hundreds and yellow jackets in the thousands.
The paper wasp is normally not aggressive, but the other two types will vigorously defend their nest. Wasps can sting repeatedly because they do not lose their stinger during an attack.
Wasps of all types prey on pests such as beetle larvae, crickets, caterpillars and flies.

The philosophy and practices of Krishna consciousness are based on the essence of Vedic teachings—establishing a loving relationship with a personal Supreme Being. The terms "Hindu," "Hinduism," and "Hindu dharma" aren't found anywhere in Vedic literature. Rather, the origin of these terms can be traced to fairly recent history. Hinduism also generally defines the supreme truth as impersonal, and because it commonly includes the worship of demigods, it is often believed to be polytheistic. So although Hinduism and Krishna consciousness seem to have some philosophical and cultural similarities, they aren't the same.
Krishna consciousness is also known as sanatana-dharma, the eternal function of the self, which is the standard spiritual culture outlined in the Vedas. Everyone—whatever their nation of origin and whatever religion they may profess—has an eternal relationship with the Supreme Person, and Krishna consciousness is meant to revive that relationship.

A region of interstellar hydrogen that is in the form of neutral, unionized atoms. The notation H I refers to the fact that the hydrogen atoms (H) are not ionized (H II is ionized hydrogen). Each neutral hydrogen atom contributes just one particle to the gas. The density of H I regions is too low for hydrogen molecules to form, and starlight would dissociate any molecules that did, so the gas remains as atoms. Neutral hydrogen constitutes about half of all interstellar matter by mass and by volume, with an average density of 1 atom/cm3. H I regions are cool (about 100 K) and emit no visible light, but they do give out the important radio spectral line at 21 cm wavelength.
Subjects: Astronomy and Astrophysics.

To the Editor:
By labeling adolescents as children in "Condoms Issue: Should Children Have Sex?" (letter, Oct. 10), Dale O'Leary invokes images of pre-teen-age youngsters engaging in sexual intercourse. In addition, her statement that "someone always gets hurt" is simply not true.
Forming a sexual identity is a key development task of adolescence. Having sexual relationships is normative behavior for the majority of teen-agers 15 to 19 years old. Responsible adolescent sexual relationships, like those of adults, should be consensual, nonexploitative, mutually pleasurable and should include precautions against unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
Also, education about abstinence, alternatives to genital intercourse, setting sexual limits and resisting peer pressure should support adolescents in delaying sexual intercourse until they are ready for mature relationships. DEBRA W. HAFFNER Exec. Director, Sex Information and Education Council of the U.S. New York, Oct. 14, 1991

(NEWS CENTER) -- The Maine Department of Education released the grades for Maine public schools Thursday.
The new grading system is on an A to F scale. Fifty schools received A grades, 71 schools received B grades, 267 C grades, 84 D grades and 65 F grades.
The grades are based on math and reading proficiency and student growth and graduation rates. However, the superintendent of Bangor Public Schools said there are several other influences on the external grading system that people should keep in mind.
"The letter grade is based on a one time high stakes standardized test that in the past two years has been administered in the month of October," Superintendent Betsy Webb said. "So when students enter the schools in September, they have about three to four weeks before they take this test."
Click for more information about the school GRADES.
Gov. LePage's administration implemented the new grading system last year. The Maine Education Association has criticized the new system, saying it uses old data and does not take into account English Language Learners. However, the governor's administration has said the scale is easier for parents to understand.

For generations, commentators have worried about the impact of technology on people’s stress. Trains and industrial machinery were seen as noisy disruptors of pastoral village life that put people on edge. Telephones interrupted quiet times in homes. Watches and clocks added to the de-humanizing time pressures on factory workers to be productive. Radio and television were organized around the advertising that enabled modern consumer culture and heightened people’s status anxieties.
Inevitably, the critics have shifted their focus onto digital technology. There has been considerable commentary about whether internet use in general and social media use in particular are related to higher levels of stress.
Such analysts often suggest that it is the heaviest users of these technologies that are most at risk. Critics fear that these technologies take over people’s lives, creating time pressures that put people at risk for the negative physical and psychological health effects that can result from stress.

Mouse Lemur Sleepover
- as seen by -Petra Lahann
Mouse lemurs are known to be solitary and territorial.
During their activity time at night, I observed them typically foraging on their own and spending time marking, patrolling, and defending their territories. Yet during the colder season of the year, I discovered that mouse lemurs, and particularly young males, showed a preference to sleep together during the daytime, cuddled up to each other in tree holes of very specific trees most likely to better regulate their body temperature and for safety reasons.
In one of those “communal sleeping trees” in my study area, I was able to count 24 mouse lemurs at top booking times (see photo). Some of them had traveled up to three-quarters of a mile and crossed many territories to join the sleeping group.
I assume that even a tiny, solitary primate sometimes feels like snuggling up against someone.

SAN FRANCISCO (KTVU) - With a 10-foot wingspan and weighing in at 25 pounds, the San Francisco Zoo welcomed a new animal to share with the public this week. Hatched in 1985, Claudia, the Andean condor is making her home at the Puente Aviary for at least six months according to zoo officials.
“We’re happy to offer Claudia a temporary home at the San Francisco Zoo and we’re open to the idea of keeping her permanently as well,” said Tanya M. Peterson, Executive Director of the San Francisco Zoo.
Claudia’s previous home was the Turtle Back Zoo in New Jersey.
“She has striking red eyes and extraordinary black-and-white-feathered wings. We hope her presence here will help educate visitors about the near threatened status of the Andean Condor species,” said Peterson.
According to the zoo, the species, with its larger wingspan than the California condor, is declining in population due to encroachment of humans. Another major threat to the species is lead poisoning from the animal carcasses they eat.

So basically in the past 2 days the ship has gone through a dramatic transformation. This includes the addition of a CTD sensor. CTD stands for conductivity, temperature, and depth. It is a very important tool for determining the properties of sea water and can provide precise data on the variation of temperature, salinity, pH, and density. In addition, this CTD has a methane and dissolved oxygen sensor. As part of the research we will also attach the most sensitive fluorometer to measure the hydrocarbon concentrations at depth. This is very exciting because we can collect a wide range of data up to 1500 m depth! Exciting work ahead. In order to get this peice of equipment on the ship there needed to be a few modifications. There was an addition of a large A-frame for the deployment and also two large winches that help in the deployment process. The ole ship literally had its deck cut off in pieces and the barrier cut to make way for the A-frame platform.
|Construction on the ship at view of bridge|

The amateur or commercial fruit-grower who finds that any one of the orchard or small fruits succeeds unusually well in his vicinity should encourage his neighbors to increase their plantings. Union is strength in fruit-growing to an unusual extent. The locality that becomes noted for the methodic growing and shipping of any given fruit, nut, or other horticultural product has advantages in shipping, selection of market, and in the way of procuring the neatest, best, and cheapest shipping crates, baskets, barrels, etc.
The neighborhood also can combine in the saving of what would prove waste products in a single orchard by drying, canning, cider, vinegar, and in other ways. The best-selling fruits in any market are from neighborhood combines where the gathering, sorting, and packing are systematized.
Another special gain in neighborhood fruit centres is in the educational way. Spraying soon becomes systematized, and the same is true of alternating varieties to secure cross-fertilization, home propagation from the selected trees of given varieties, irrigation of small fruits, orchards, and gardens, and indeed in all lines pertaining to profitable fruit-growing on their soil and in their climate.

Cancer Research UK says too much UV radiation from the sun or sunbeds can damage the DNA in skin cells. If the DNA builds up enough damage over time, it can cause cells to start growing out of control, leading to skin cancer.
There are two main types of UV rays. Both types can cause skin cancer - UVB and UVA.
Sunburn is a clear sign that the DNA in your skin cells has been damaged by too much UV radiation. Sunburn doesn’t have to be raw, peeling or blistering. If your skin has gone red in the sun, it’s burnt.
The above video, by Cancer Research UK, explains what happens to skin when it becomes sunburnt.

Recently the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that starting in October, populations of lab animals and research cells will need to follow the same requirements for gender equity as required for research on human populations. Put in other words, the lab mice (and cell samples) used in an experiment need to have as many males as females. NIH Director Francis Collins, along with Janine Clayton, the Director of the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health, outlined the reasoning behind the new policy in Nature.
While the tools and processes are in place to increase the diversity of research subjects, there are other areas where research could do better. A recent opinion column in The New York Times (H/T ScienceInsider) argues that older people are not adequately represented in clinical trials. While there are issues related to informed consent for research on younger subjects, such barriers – to the extent they exist – are much smaller for older test subjects. I agree with the column that there is no reason to exclude subjects on the basis of age, but I suspect properly recruiting older people for research trials and controlling for the factors that might influence experimental results will make it harder to address this gap.

H is for Helpless
It makes sense that if the reader can see and feel the helplessness and hopelessness in a character who learns and struggles to change or who finds hope, then there is the same possibilities for the reader. Readers want to read to discover and fall in love with a character, they want to care. But they also want to find the same hope and help for their own lives.
To keep your reader engaged in the story and in sequels about the character, the key is to develop a lovable character with flaws. Those flaws will render the character helpless in a situation, say lost in the woods face to face with a big brown bear. Through the fight to gain hope in a hopeless situation, the character develops personal growth and gains the readers admiration.
In your next story, try adding words that make the character helpless and hopeless. Develop a strong story around finding help and hope and you will have a story that readers will love.

Cities have been adjusting the fluoride levels in water since 1964. Since that time, fluoridation has dramatically improved the oral health of tens of millions of Americans. Community water fluoridation is the single most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay, but you may not be drinking as much fluoridated water as you may think. If bottled or home-purified water is your main source for drinking water, you may be missing out on this extremely safe and effective mineral that prevents tooth decay.
Of course, using toothpaste with the ADA Seal of Approval is a good source of fluoride, but optimal levels of absorption can only be achieved if you use it as directed: brushing twice a day for two to three minutes each time.
At our office, you can receive professionally applied topical fluoride during your next dental checkup. This is extremely important for people who are at high risk for tooth decay, including children, people with less than perfect oral hygiene, people undergoing orthodontic treatment, and people with weakened enamel due to lifestyle choices or genetic factors. If you have any questions regarding fluoride, please feel free to ask us at the office. We want you to have the healthiest smile possible.

Avarin is a term used to refer to the combined languages of the Avari.
Three larger divisions of Avarin are recorded: West Avarin, North Avarin and East Avarin. The West Avarin group was nearest to the Eldarin languages of the west; North Avarin was very peculiar, with no initial consonant groups. Not much is known of East Avarin.

Patrick Bannerman (1715-1798) – minister, writer and religious radical. Born at Inveravon, educated King’s College, Aberdeen, ordained St Madoes in 1741 and then moved to Kinnoull parish in 1746. He wrote on religious and civil liberty and campaigned on these issues within the Protestant church – especially against ecclesiastical patronage and hierarchy within the church. Amongst his writing is included A Sermon upon reformation and Revolution Principles (1751); A Plan of education for Rural Academics (1773). Another area of his writing was philosophy and manners. He is known for his funeral service on the death of Lord Milton in 1766. Bannerman died in 1798.

One World Flight
In February 1946 two American organizations, the Wilkes Memorial and the Common Council For American Unity established an award consisting of a flight around the globe, a flight intended to dramatize and perpetuate Wendell Wilkes’s concept of One World. The first winner of the award chosen on the basis of contributions already made to this ideal was the CBS playwright and producer Norman Corwin. In June 1946 Mr Corwin, with Lee Bland of CBS and a magnetic wire recorder, set out on a globe-circling trip in the course of which they preserved a hundred hours of voices and opinions of the people of 16 countries. Each Tuesday night for 13 weeks Norman Corwin brings the story and record of his One World Flight.
12 episodes are extant. The 4th broadcast from 1947/02/11 entitled - Moscow, is missing.

The hare and the tortoise are together covering the distance at 8 miles per hour (i.e., on adding their speeds).
So, they will cover the distance of 40 miles in 5 hours.
Thus, in 5 hours, they will meet and the hare will have traveled 35 miles.
Alternative Solution through Equations:
Note that : Distance = Speed × Time
be the time before the hare and the tortoise meet.
hours, the hare will travel 7 t
hours, the tortoise will travel 1 t
+ 1 t
= 40 ⁄ 8 = 5 hours.
Thus, distance traveled by hare before meeting = 7 × 5 = 35 miles.

Photo of the Day #2: SLS Components to Begin Arriving in Florida for Exploration Mission 1...
Flight Hardware for NASA's Space Launch System on Its Way to Cape (News Release)
The interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS) for the first flight of NASA's Space Launch System rocket is on its way by barge to United Launch Alliance's Delta IV Operation Center at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The ICPS is a liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen-based system that will provide the thrust needed to send the Orion spacecraft and 13 secondary payloads beyond the moon before Orion returns to Earth. It will be the first integrated piece of SLS hardware to arrive at the Cape and undergo final processing and testing before being moved to Ground Systems Development Operations at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
The ICPS was designed and built by ULA in Decatur, Alabama, and The Boeing Co. in Huntsville, Alabama. When completed, SLS will be the most powerful rocket in the world for deep-space missions.

Today, the Electoral College votes to officially elect the president. It is also the anniversary of one of the most momentous votes in recent history. On December 19, 1998, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Bill Clinton.
During the two or three months leading up to this vote, I would occasionally put on C-SPAN and watch the proceedings. On 12/19, which was a Saturday, I watched C-SPAN for an hour or so in the morning, and then went out for a hike that afternoon. I returned to find out that the vote had been cast and the president impeached. My reaction was something to the effect of, "They did it. They actually grew a pair and did it."
On this year's 12/19, if all goes like it's supposed to, another vote will take place, against another Clinton. But instead of removing her from the White House, it will prevent her from returning to the place where she once was First Lady.
The impeachment of President Bill Clinton is discussed at History(dot)com and The History Place.
An article recalling the impeachment appeared in 2007 in Politico.
Contemporary news stories have been preserved, shall we say, at CNN and The New York Times.
