Lepidochelys kempii (kemp's ridley)
Distributed in tropical and subtropical waters, Lepidochelys kempii feeds, similar to Caretta caretta, on crabs, seagrass, echinoderms and many more. This species nests on only one beach in Mexico. So-called "arribadas" take place three times a year and involve a mass appearance of nesting females. These turtles nest during the day.
Lepidochelys kempii is critically endangered and its population is recovering slowly. Shrimp fishery still kills many turtles every year, but netsare now being improved by installing TEDs (turtle excluder devices), which help turtles to escape from nets. | <urn:uuid:70843c2d-74b0-4d4b-bea4-59db72b5ec02> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://seaturtlecourse.jimdo.com/english/ecology-of-sea-turtles/lepidochelys-kempii/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824293.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020173404-20171020193404-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.918862 | 154 | 3.03125 | 3 |
Origami (from oru meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper”) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper, or in this case, a single dollar bill, hence the name “money origami.” The creativity of the little critters that people have designed from their currency is astounding: the one-eyed crab below is even borderline frightening.
The most amazing thing about them is that they’re all made from real money. An exploration of our relationship with money and our response to it, in a political, moral and social sense, whilst also exploiting the physical beauty of the note. All the papers presented were conducted with notes of 1 or 2 dollars and any one of them is exceptional.

Gray hair is the tell-tale sign of aging. But it wasn't until March of 2016 that scientists discovered a gene that plays a role in the hair graying process. As Dr. Kaustubh Adhikari, the lead author of the study that outlines this discovery, explained: "We already know several genes involved in balding and hair color but this is the first time a gene for graying has been identified in humans, as well as other genes influencing hair shape and density."
Thanks to this study, we now have strong evidence to suggest that genetics—specifically a gene called IRF4—play a role in graying hair, not just environmental factors like stress or smoking. The logical next step? Developing products to delay the graying process. Watch the video below for more details on this gray hair gene study. | <urn:uuid:98d3bbce-382b-43b1-a1f3-82b43927cbb7> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://curiosity.com/topics/scientists-are-only-just-beginning-to-discover-what-causes-gray-hair-curiosity/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824819.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021133807-20171021153807-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.968395 | 172 | 2.9375 | 3 |

JVS TRANSMEDIA ART PROJECT - RESEASRCH "Cubism"
Cubism was an artistic movement developed between 1907 and 1914, born in France and led by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris. It was called cubism because it was said that the paintings were composed of small cubes. Cubism wonders, too, the problems of volume and break with tradition spaces.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
Oxidation caused by the action of light.
- ‘One of the commonest processes for this is the reaction of oxygen, or oxygen containing species, with the dye energised by light, or photo-oxidation.’
- ‘Under the microscope, prolonged exposure to light led to photo-oxidation of the few vesicles in the field of view.’
- ‘There are several possible mechanisms of photochemical bleaching, of which the commonest is probably photo-oxidation.’
- ‘Near the transition temperature, photo-oxidation likely introduces additional errors.’
- ‘This irradiance allowed growth without photoinhibition or photo-oxidation and this is important for effective comparisons of antioxidant activities.’

The citizens of the Spanish region of Catalonia voted overwhelmingly in favour of independence (90%) from Spain on Sunday night’s referendum amid clashes between the locals and police units sent by the central government, which resulted in the injury of many people. The central government disputed the constitutionality of the vote, with PM Mariano Rajoy saying Catalans had been fooled into taking part in an illegal vote. Apart from the Baleares and the Madrid region itself, Catalonia together with its capital Barcelona is one of the economically more powerful parts of the country. The infographic shows that the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of Catalonia lies closer to that of the Eurozone than of Spain as a whole.
This in mind, it comes as no surprise that Madrid is by all means opposed to letting go of Catalonia. Once before, in October 1934, shortly before the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) broke out, Catalonia had announced its independence from the rest of Spain. This prompted Madrid to sent the army to Barcelona. | <urn:uuid:e2743ed5-d8c9-4f08-9fa6-f401d4dd3006> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.journalismonline.gr/economy-of-catalonia-closer-to-eurozone-than-spain-infographic/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823360.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019175016-20171019195016-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.967754 | 206 | 3.046875 | 3 |
This article presents a historical overview of how legally and socially constructed definitions of childhood and youth have, and continue to, shape the identification, treatment and research surrounding delinquent youth. Even though we age biologically along a continuum, formal social systems, most notably the courts and our system of rights, are based on specific chronological age parameters which impose a rigid element to something that is otherwise fluid. This often results in subjective decision making regarding sanctions and treatment options among family and criminal court systems as well as other professionals who work closely with delinquent youth. This article highlights the importance of considering more than the specific delinquent act in determining the fate of youth. Consideration of individual characteristics and environmental factors will bring us closer to a more comprehensive strategy including intervention efforts to the family and community/ neighborhood level to stimulate long term change.

The National Coastal Assessment is an Environmental Protection Agency program to monitor the health of the nation’s estuaries using nationally standardized methods and a probabilistic sampling design. Dedicated EPA funding for the National Coastal Assessment ceased after 2006. Therefore, the NH Department of Environmental Services and the New Hampshire Estuaries Project contributed funds to continue a portion of the National Coastal Assessment in 2007. Water quality measurements were successfully made during 2007 at 25 randomly located stations throughout the Great Bay Estuary and Hampton-Seabrook Harbor. These data will be combined with samples collected in 2006 for probabilistic assessments of estuarine water quality during the 2006-2007 period in the NHEP Water Quality Indicators Report in 2009.

(theguardian.com)—“The key caution that an average reader should take away is any one study is not going to be the last word,” he added. “Science is a process of uncertainty reduction, and no one study is almost ever a definitive result on its own.”
All of the experiments the scientists repeated appeared in top ranking journals in 2008 and fell into two broad categories, namely cognitive and social psychology. Cognitive psychology is concerned with basic operations of the mind, and studies tend to look at areas such as perception, attention and memory. Social psychology looks at more social issues, such as self esteem, identity, prejudice and how people interact.
In the investigation, a whopping 75% of the social psychology experiments were not replicated, meaning that the originally reported findings vanished when other scientists repeated the experiments. Half of the cognitive psychology studies failed the same test. Details are published in the journal Science. | <urn:uuid:ba509f5e-68cf-40df-ab50-4163a20e323b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://enumclaw.com/news/2015/08/28/psychology-75-failure-rate/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823482.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019231858-20171020011858-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.954395 | 189 | 2.71875 | 3 |

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland is the world’s most protected marine area – one of its natural wonders and a World Heritage site. Spanning more than 2 000 km and covering an area of some 350 000 km², it is the largest living structure on Earth and the only one visible from space. This image was acquired by Envisat’s Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) at a resolution of 300 metres. Image credit: European Space Agency
Launched in 2002, the European Space Agency’s Envisat Earth observation satellite is the largest Earth observation spacecraft ever built. Envisat is now retiring after 10 magnificent years – double its planned mission lifetime.
In this wallpaper collection, we feature a very small sample of the formidably large collection of images captured by the eight-ton satellite – equipped with 10 sophisticated optical and radar instruments – in more than 50 000 orbits, together with images from ESA’s so-called “Third Party” missions. Envisat has contributed immeasurably to our knowledge of Earth, its weather patterns, oceans, atmosphere, environmental challenges and myriad other processes. | <urn:uuid:3ae037d7-8fef-4d2b-a04f-efba6b84a7b6> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.popularmechanics.co.za/stuff/great-barrier-reef-queensland-australia/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824357.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020211313-20171020231313-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.892706 | 248 | 3.296875 | 3 |

With the flu season gradually setting in you may want to be more precise about the symptoms to better treat it.
Dr Charl van Loggerenberg, MD at International SOS says the common myth that a flu vaccine causes the virus is false.
Yes some people get a small reaction to the load of the vaccine on board....but its an extremely rare phenomenon.— Dr Charl van Loggerenberg, MD at International SOS
The most common strains of flu include Influenza A (H3N2) virus, one Influenza A (H1N1) virus, and one Influenza B virus.
van Loggerenberg says a cold can be caused by multiple viruses differentiating it from influenza which can lead to other complications.

A summary of the existing research evidence with links to more detailed information - part of our overview of "What works in policing to reduce crime".
Crime came down in New York City during the 1990s by more than in other US cities and, unlike those other cities, rates of imprisonment did not increase. The reasons for the decline aren't certain but police activity is thought to have played a part.
The New York police chief at the time has said that zero-tolerance (blanket enforcement of all laws without targeting) does not describe what happened, and that community policing and an organisational focus on crime reduction and quality of life issues were key.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Advocatus Diaboli
ADVOCATUS DIABOLI, devil's advocate, the name popularly given to the promoter of the Faith (promotor fidei), and officer of the Sacred Congregation of Rites at Rome, whose duty is to prepare all possible arguments against the admission of any one to the posthumous honours of beatification and canonization. This functionary is first formally mentioned under Leo X. (1513- 1521) in the proceedings in connexion with the canonization of St Lorenzo Giustiniani. In 1631 Urban VIII. made his presence, either in person or by deputy, necessary for the validity of any act connected with the process of beatification or canonization (see Canonization). The phrase, “devil's advocate,” has by an easy transference come to be used of any one who puts himself up, or is put up, for the sake of promoting debate, to argue a case in which he does not necessarily believe. | <urn:uuid:73af333a-e9b1-40e7-b219-0e98bf3ce76d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Advocatus_Diaboli | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825889.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023092524-20171023112524-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.914705 | 220 | 2.53125 | 3 |

Insecticide for Grub Control
White grubs eat organic matter including the roots of plants. Therefore, damage first appears to be drought stress. Heavily infested turf appears off color, gray-green, and wilts rapidly in the hot sun. Continued feeding will cause the turf to die in large irregular patches. The tunneling of the larvae cause the turf to feel spongy under foot and the turf can often be rolled back like a loose carpet. Once the damage is done, its hard to regain any new turf without sodding or seeding. The best alternative to damage is preventative grub insecticide, however, topical insecticide can be applied once grubs have reached mature stages to kill on contact, preventing any further damage from occurring. Often grubs are found in soft soils or healthy lawns near and around street lamps or outdoor lighting. If you would like to find out how you can prevent grubs from ruining your lawn, call Lawntech or visit our website. | <urn:uuid:dfed2ff4-3cc8-43ed-8924-44a72fef878e> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://lawntech.blogspot.com/2009/04/insecticide-for-grub-control.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826642.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023202120-20171023222120-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.944069 | 255 | 2.53125 | 3 |

Lesson 1 (from Chapter 1)
Being part of a story helps to bring it to life in a way that few other methods can. This lesson will be the first of one each chapter to involve the class itself in the story and analysis of The Man-eater of Malgudi by having students act out and present an analysis each chapter.
1. Preparatory assignment: Divide the class into twelve groups, and assign one chapter to each group. This should be done in advance enough that the first group has time to organize.The group assigned to this chapter will work ahead of the class on their own chapter to prepare their presentation for the class when the class gets to their chapter. Each presentation should include an acting out of the action of the chapter, which each character made clear by use of props relevant to their chapter. After the re-enactment of...

does spring always do negative work?
how could it do positive work?
I can't think of any situation
Suppose you have a spring with a mass at the end of it. The spring is compressed, because you are pushing on the mass and holding it there. Then you release it. The restoring force acts to extend the spring, pushing the mass outward along with it. The displacement of the mass is in the same direction as the force. Therefore, the force does positive work. You *know* that it has done positive work, because the kinetic energy of the mass has increased.
It's only once the spring extension goes past the equilibrium position, and the spring becomes stretched, that the restoring force switches sign and starts to pull the thing back.
Thank you so much :D

Understand Enabled and Locked
How to understand enabled and locked
It's easy to assume the Enabled and Locked properties are the same. Even Help lists the two together. Although they're similar, they aren't the same and they aren't interchangeable. The Enabled property is used to determine whether a control can have the focus in Form View. Specifically, a Yes setting means you can set the focus to that control; a No setting means you can't. For the most part, that means you can't select the control in Form View, even if the control's Tab Stop property is set to Yes. The Locked property will keep users from changing the contents of a control. You can still set the focus to the control, meaning you can select it. However, you can't change the control's contents.

what if planets have a fiery molten core bc they’re actually ancient massive eggs and someday the shell of the Earth will crack open and all humanity will die instantly but it’s cool because now there’s a giant space dragon
“Dragons lived throughout the First, Second, and Third ages of Middle-earth and may have lived longer. They were originally bred by Morgoth during the first age to serve as gigantic shock troopers and mobile artillery. The first dragon ever seen in Middle-earth was Glaurung, the father of dragons, who Morgoth used to great effect during the fourth and fifth battles in the War of the Jewels. Like most of the creatures made or twisted by Morgoth, they were capable of reproducing naturally. Dragons were sometimes referred to as serpents, great Worms, or simply Drakes, with the first two specifying the Wingless Dragons.”
This amazing shot was taken from an airplane, the blue comes from the water reflecting the sky with the white flecks of clouds. Since this picture was taken this stretch of river got the name for its resemblance to a Chinese dragon. | <urn:uuid:9e391671-f2c1-4248-a1ba-0c68054d20eb> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.tumblr.com/search/dragon%20of%20earth | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824104.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020120608-20171020140608-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.973262 | 233 | 2.84375 | 3 |

Pseudostrabismus, or epicanthal folds, is a common condition seen in babies. When the facial bones are immature, there can be a lid fold in the nasal aspect of the eyelid, which can cover the white part of the eye in toward the nose. Therefore, it can give the appearance of the eye turning when it is actually the lid fold. This is a commonly seen condition in babies and is normal. However, a pediatrician will sometimes refer to rule out a true eye misalignment problem. As the child’s facial bones do mature, the eyelid fold disappears and the situation resolves. | <urn:uuid:3c20c9dd-875a-4e8a-bfc2-6910847ca9d6> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://eyegroupsi.com/pseudostrabismus/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823016.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018161655-20171018181655-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.931227 | 129 | 2.546875 | 3 |

In addition to tentacles, there may be marginal cirri (Laodice) with a solid endodermal axis, spirally coiled, very contractile, and bearing a terminal battery of nematocysts.
Margarita, five to seven pairs of epipodial cirri with a pigment spot at base of each.
The cirri or tentacles, of which three or four pairs are present, are capable of being protruded, and the minute larva swims by means of the ciliary action they produce.

Hirschsprung’s disease is a congenital disease of the large intestine. It is sometimes called congenital aganglionic megacolon. This is so-called such because their is incomplete development of the nerve cells or the Auerbach’s plexus in the large intestine. This is usually diagnosed during infancy or childhood, rarely in adult.
Hirschsprung’s disease (image from gstatic.com)
One of the most common manifestation of Hirschsprung’s disease is constipation in infants which most oftentimes than not, when a physician inserts two fingers on the rectum, there is production of explosive stools. Infants also show symptoms like enlargement of abdomen, vomits green or brown materials, and sometimes produces bloody diarrhea.
Treatment usually done for Hirschsprung’s disease is reversible colostomy. | <urn:uuid:ba153e20-f02c-4628-87b7-4a74fbc4bb2a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://pinoy-md.com/2012/12/hirschsprungs-disease.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824225.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020135519-20171020155519-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.905637 | 184 | 3.15625 | 3 |
Platform as a Service (PaaS) gives a possibility to run, create or test various applications by using provider's tools over the internet. The consumer has no rights to manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure (storage, servers, platforms, etc.), but is able to configure application hosting environment and the installed applications.
Advantages of using PaaS are:
- possibility to change and upgrade the characteristics and components of operating system,
- easier collaboration with specialist over the word,
- opportunity to use resources that are over the national border without crossing it,
- overall cost reduction by minimizing the expenses of hardware and programming tools, incompatibility problems and so on.
- some providers may not allow moving developed software out of his platform (security issues),
- flexibility of this service may still be insufficient in meeting the needs of users, whose requirements are constantly changing.

T(HealthDay News) -- Children can get eye injuries from everyday play or exposure to harmful objects. But parents can take steps to help prevent these injuries.
The University of Michigan Health System suggests:
- Never let children throw things at each other.
- Establish a rule about never running while holding an object that is sharp, long or pointed.
- Store all cleaning products out of a child's reach.
- Store clothes hangers in the closet.
- Set a good example by wearing eye protection whenever needed.
- Schedule regular eye exams for your child.

1. Pluto moves in a fairly elliptical orbit around the sun. Pluto's speed at its closest approach of 4.43×109km is 6.12 km/s. 2. Relevant equations: L=mvr, F_g: (GMm/r^2), A_c: mv^2/r 3. The attempt at a solution: I found the answer here, but I'm more interested in why we would use angular momentum. I took L=mvr and used the given variables to set Pluto's momentum at its furthest point to its momentum at its closest. so I went from L=mvr to miviri=mfvfrf. The masses cancel, so the equation simplifies to viri = vfrf. I only came to this conclusion after a classmate hinted at me to think about angular momentum, so I'm still confused as to why angular momentum is the key to solving this, rather than Newton's universal law of gravitation set to centripetal acceleration, which gives me the wrong answer. I'm sorry if I was unclear on anything, thanks for your time. | <urn:uuid:af36e41d-826c-4c53-bc0a-3dcc825b09ca> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/calculating-plutos-velocity-angular-momentum.798263/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824894.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021190701-20171021210701-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.962425 | 234 | 3.5625 | 4 |

Remove unwanted branches before treehouse building starts
- Prune branches in the autumn/fall or early winter when the tree is dormant - certain trees like walnut and maple should be pruned early to avoid bleeding sap and all Prunus species (eg, cherry, plum) should be pruned when in leaf to avoid Silver Leaf infection
- Consult an arborist/tree surgeon if you see any signs of dieback or if Sudden Oak Death is present in your area
- Use very sharp, clean tools
- Cut the branch outside the collar, not flush to the trunk
- Leave the cut clean and bare - coatings can encourage fungal infection
Don't attempt to remove large branches without training as there is a very real risk of serious injury/death. Likewise, only a professional should use a chainsaw in a tree. | <urn:uuid:ba12f843-00b9-4d98-8b90-b9e14c279793> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.thetreehouseguide.com/treepruning.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823630.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020025810-20171020045810-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.884998 | 193 | 2.625 | 3 |

[Perspectives] “The infirmity of his age”: Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary
In 1819 an article in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine asserted that William Shakespeare’s four greatest plays were Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, and King Lear. A century later, the influential critic A C Bradley reinforced this opinion by devoting his published lectures Shakespearean Tragedy (1904) to these plays, calling them “the big four”. As we celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, they have retained their pre-eminence. Although the comedies and history plays are popular, it is the great tragedies that are most admired. | <urn:uuid:45271d84-4ba5-44da-91c6-a76d1d512090> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.doctorportal.com.au/perspectives-the-infirmity-of-his-age-shakespeares-400th-anniversary/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824325.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020192317-20171020212317-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.942489 | 149 | 2.515625 | 3 |

Each group of students worked with a university of Bristol history student to make a presentation on an object related to The British Empire. Objects included a stuffed chimpanzee brought over from Sierra Leone as a pet, the Delhi Durbar painting, a huge Chinese bell and a mummified Egyptian. They took over by re-interpreting their object from a young person’s perspective, using dance, music, drawing, interviews and lively debates.
Their research even included a tour of the store rooms by the World cultures curator. One of the boys on seeing a collection of stored Native American spears exclaimed “someone needs to buy me one of these for my birthday”.
It was great to see teenagers interacting with their own objects and giving their presentations to the rest of their peers. They included heated debates over whether objects obtained from British colonisation should remain in Bristol museum or be returned to their original countries.
It was fascinating to see so many secondary school students enjoying being involved and inspired by university history students themselves to make museums interesting and accessible for a younger generation. | <urn:uuid:be368ee2-73fc-4fdb-a0b8-92f90c768c3c> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://advisor.museumsandheritage.com/news/year-9-students-work-takeover-bristol-museum-art-gallery-help-bristol-university-students/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820927.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017052945-20171017072945-00571.warc.gz | en | 0.971681 | 216 | 2.9375 | 3 |
Medical microbiology may overlap with parasitology, generally considered the study of diseases caused by multi-cellular parasites, where a parasite is defined as an organism that derives its nutrients from another living organisms, often but not always to the detriments of its host. Microbes are continually probing our defences and commensals that get into the wrong place can do untold damage. A very small minority of microbes are primary pathogens. These are capable of infecting individuals and causing disease.
This book is a concise and accessible guide to the field of microbiology and infection. It is made-up of eight solid chapters along with other relevant material which cover all area of the subject.
The book takes the reader through the underlying concepts, mechanisms and principles of medical microbiology. It introduces the nature of microbes and describes the general properties of different microbial groups. It discusses, the clinical manifestations, diagnoses, treatment of some important infectious diseases and provides information about the structure and functions of immune system. Medical relevance is emphasised throughout the book. It is written at a level appropriate for both medical students, physicians, teachers and infectious disease scientists. | <urn:uuid:b1f37104-892f-4a05-9c13-71c168431971> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.saujanyabooks.com/details.aspx?id=41238 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824820.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021152723-20171021172723-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.945345 | 227 | 3.140625 | 3 |
While battery advances are great, powering a device from the human body is the next level – and it's here.
Scientists at the University of California San Diego have managed to create a sensors that attaches to human skin and harnesses sweat for power.
The device looks like a temporary tattoo and converts sweat to electricity. Its primary function is to measure lactate, the substance found in sweat, in athletes and patients. This enzyme device collects electrons from the lactate to measure it while at the same time producing current. This is also a great alternative to current invasive blood sample testing. But it's been adapted to do so much more.
The researchers involved in this project turned the results into a bio-battery using the collected electrons. It's not producing a great amount of power yet at 70 microWatts per square centimeter of skin. But the researchers are working on a way to boost the system so it will be powerful enough to charge small gadgets like smartwatches and heart rate sensors.
So in the near future you might be able to go for a run without the worry of losing charge on your device for music and directions. Presuming you're breaking enough of a sweat to keep the gadgets charged. | <urn:uuid:62f85572-20af-47ed-a477-c86a671d35a8> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/130347-human-powered-gadgets-are-coming-sweat-harnessed-to-create-charge | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825700.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023054654-20171023074654-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.947672 | 246 | 3.703125 | 4 |
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts has added a rare Renaissance bust of St. John the Baptist by Italian sculptor Benedetto da Rovezzano to its collection. The bust was once “hidden in a cache of Nazi-looted masterpieces intended for the Fuhrermuseum,” Hitler’s unrealized museum complex, according to a news release from the MIA.
“This terracotta sculpture … helps the museum tell the remarkable story of the Florentine Renaissance,” Kaywin Feldman, head of the MIA, said in a news release. “We discovered this masterpiece in March while attending the European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and I am thrilled to have this ravishing Renaissance sculpture of St. John the Baptist join the collection of the MIA.”
The MIA says the bust will be displayed in its permanent galleries, joining two other notable Renaissance busts by Agostino Zoppo and Giovanni Battista Caccini. — Amy Carlson Gustafson | <urn:uuid:469a95d4-b519-412a-8f0c-47f43e4b9377> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.twincities.com/2013/05/07/mia-acquires-rare-renaissance-bust-looted-by-hitler/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824824.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021171712-20171021191712-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.90078 | 211 | 2.609375 | 3 |
Ancient Weapons and Close Range Arts from Southeast Asia
The ancient and highly practical arts developed by the ancient warriors of the Philippines consists of gaining and honing skills with blunt, bladed, or flexible weapons.
Like kung fu, before it popularized by the late Bruce Lee, the Filipinos strongly guarded this knowledge and held its usage as a protection in a world filled with violence, prejudice, and lurking deception. Very few nations have experienced invasions and takeovers like the Philippine Islands.

Many people believe that the Filipino martial arts are only a weapons art. On the contrary, it is a very efficient and effective empty-hand art. The use of elbows, knees, headbutts, kicks, and punches are common in close range fighting. Grappling techniques (standing or on the ground) include throws, trips, sweeps, takedowns, chokes, and locks. | <urn:uuid:1430c945-b32e-41db-aed6-21eba38af3aa> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.tridentmartialarts.com/martial-arts/weapons/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826283.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023183146-20171023203146-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.92352 | 238 | 2.6875 | 3 |
Rubble is broken stone of irregular size, shape and texture. ‘Rubble’ derives from rubbish. Masons make good use of this garbage.
Rubble masonry is rough, irregular unhewn building stone not laid in regular courses. It may appear as the outer surface of a wall, or may be used to fill a wall.
Many thick walls which appear as solid stone are commonly filled with rubble. It is almost counter-intuitive; that a massive wall -the very symbol of solidity- is often filled with rubble. There is much more rubble in many more exquisite masonry buildings, from The Pantheon, to cathedrals to the Taj Mahal, than most people realize.
The Great Wall of China is made mostly from rubble, which was used to fill the space between the outer bricks and below the road’s surface.
Dry stacked stone walls rely on strategically placed and compacted rubble to help bind the masonry elements together into a consolidated mass. Good rubble will have a size distribution (big and small chunks) for space filling. Proper use of rubble in dry stacked stone walls is an art.

Harvard and MIT scientists have announced that they may have discovered a black hole, only the third so far identified.
Following four years of research, Jeffrey E. McClintock of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and MIT's Ronald A. Remillard told a meeting of the American Astronomical Society that they had identified a dark, massive object in the Constellation Monoceros as a probable black hole.
A black hole is believed to be the stellar remnant formed by the supernova explosion of a star. When the star's outer shell is blown away, the heavier elements of the core collapse upon themselves. This collapsing mass is then compacted by gravity into a mere point from which nothing, not even light, can escape.
Optical observations of X-ray nova A0620-00 made by McClintock and Remillard show a binary system in which one member is a dwarf star and the other is a black hole, the closest yet found to the earth. During outburst, stellar material drawn from the star and falling into the gravitational field of the black hole produces more energy than 10,000 suns. | <urn:uuid:4c0ce59c-d9f4-42a0-afd4-4e319c2ff10d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1986/1/17/harvard-mit-scientists-find-3rd-black/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825473.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022222745-20171023002745-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.926681 | 231 | 4.21875 | 4 |
What is human geography?
Geography can be traced back to ancient Greece making it one of the oldest academic disciplines. Human geography is one branch of geography. Human geographers are united by a common interest in how physical environments are modified and transformed into meaningful human landscapes and how these landscapes exhibit particular patterns of spatial organization. Human geographers are especially interested in relationships between society and nature, people and place, and human activity and space. These relationships change over time and differ from one location to the next giving rise to the incredible diversity that characterizes the human world.
A number of sub-disciplines have developed in human geography to account for this diversity. These include economic geography, political geography, cultural geography, urban geography, and medical/health geography. Human geographers also bring to their studies a unique set of theoretical and practical tools. These include concepts such as location, space, place and scale and conceptual frameworks such as regional analysis. Human geographers have also been instrumental in the development and application of geo-spatial technologies such as geographical information systems (GIS).

Zwikl has long had an interest in the illustrations, which appeared in books, magazines and newspapers throughout the 1800s and provided 19th century Americans with their only visual image of the Revolutionary War. From his collection, built over many years, Zwikl has put together 42 illustrations that portray leaders, battles and major events of the war.
The exhibit is the result of a partnership between the Schuylkill River Heritage Area and Valley Forge National Historical Park, as well as Morristown National Historical Park, in New Jersey, and Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area, also in New Jersey. After it's run at Valley Forge, the exhibit will be moved to Morristown, where it will hang from June 23-August 26.
He has also created a booklet to accompany the exhibit that offers insights into the significance of the illustrations, and provides details about the artists who created the works. The booklet will be available for sale at Valley Forge, and later at Morristown National Historical Park.
You can visit the exhibit at Valley Forge during regular visiting hours from 9-5 daily at the Visitor Center, from Feb. 22- April 28. | <urn:uuid:20049296-6dcc-4eaf-803d-96aeb2ec2cc7> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://schuylkillriver.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825510.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023020721-20171023040721-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.975977 | 245 | 2.703125 | 3 |
Dear Visitors from “Away” Please Leave Your Camp Firewood at Home
It’s a common practice that state officials are hoping to nip in the bud in order to protect the state’s trees, specifically the Ash species.
It’s right on our doorstep and it’s a destructive little creature called the Emerald Ash Borer. Acadia National Park Biologist Judy Hazen-Connery says they’re hosting a workshop next week that will be very helpful in identifying the insect which has already been found in New Hampshire.
Campers visiting the state can unknowingly give the beetle a free ride to Maine.
“It moves on infested firewood and with the many campgrounds in the area and camps, we’re very concerned about the movement of this beetle because it causes the 100 percent mortality of the ash tree,” explains Hazen-Connery. | <urn:uuid:ffa70830-a674-414b-a65c-493527ff4583> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://q1065.fm/dear-visitors-from-away-please-leave-your-camp-firewood-at-home/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825154.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022075310-20171022095310-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.921335 | 190 | 2.609375 | 3 |
That hasn't happened since 1978
The U.S. National Hurricane Center is advising that a subtropical storm has formed in the Atlantic ocean — in January.
Subtropical Storm Alex, the center says, has strengthened slightly as it moves toward the Portuguese mid-Atlantic archipelago of the Azores, which it is forecast to reach late Thursday or early Friday.
According to the Washington Post, the storm is the first tropical weather system to have formed in the Atlantic in January since 1978. Normally, such storms do not take place until July.
The Post added that warmer waters in the Atlantic and Pacific, caused by El Nino and global warming, could have a role in the unusual weather development. | <urn:uuid:b10cb061-e80c-4d35-9bbb-12ccbd051c4a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://time.com/4180175/january-tropical-subtropical-storm-alex-atlantic-hurricane/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823462.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019194011-20171019214011-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.972792 | 145 | 3.3125 | 3 |
The executive arm of the government of England was managed by the council for much of the Middle Ages. In practice this small advisory group carried out a lot of the decision making and administration of justice in everyday matters as well as advising the king. It was made up of the Chancellor, the Treasurer, the Keeper of the Privy Seal, the judges and barons of the exchequer. On occasion senior magnates might also participate.
The three senior administrative positions in the government were the Chancellor, Treasurer and Keeper of the Privy Seal. In 1376 these posts were filled by:
Chancellor: Sir John Knyvet
Treasurer: Richard le Scrope, 1st Baron Scrope of Bolton
Keeper of the Privy Seal: Nicholas Carew | <urn:uuid:59ddb070-2ac0-437a-86c3-b535ca460e5b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://marklord.info/medieval-history-and-literature/england-in-1376/central-government-in-1376/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823220.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019031425-20171019051425-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.976327 | 158 | 3.5 | 4 |
Self-Harm myth busted29 Sep 2014
Self-harm is a hard behaviour to watch people go through as you can see that there is a lot of underlying emotional pain that the person is going through and the self harming gives a release to that pain in a physical way.
I have found a guide to myth busting facts on self-harm that you can find here: http://www.headspace.org.au/media/27559/self-harm_mythbuster.pdf
As I read through the guide I saw that a lot of what the media reports as ‘fact’ is actually ‘myth’.
People who self-harm are not seeking attention, they are not “Emo’s”, or necessarily depressed. They are responding to intense pain, distress, or overwhelming negative feelings, thoughts or memories.
I think that is it also helpful to remember that self-harm is a behaviour or symptom, not a disorder or an illness. | <urn:uuid:2fdc03a4-497f-4cc6-bf55-ab7755efdfbe> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://candoability.com.au/CDA/Blog/Self-Harm-myth-busted_516.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822851.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018085500-20171018105500-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.965834 | 207 | 2.515625 | 3 |
All sorts of things can make us angry…and sometimes anger is justified and sometimes it isn’t…but quite often it is our beliefs and expectations that will affect whether we get angry or not and these in turn are influenced by our upbringing and our experiences of life.Then if we do feel anger – how do we act on it? It often depends on what mood we’re in and whether we are in pain or tired etc. but also it is about our inhibitions, which is why some people show their anger to people they love and not in the public domain! Hence the expression “Angel on the street but a Devil at home”
What are good ways of dealing with anger and frustration? Mindfulness can help – it will pass… and the traffic lights system is a good one: Red is the anger when you feel it, Amber is the time you have to give yourself to think about it and Green is when it is safe to act. On a deeper level we sometimes get angry because we think the world owes us happiness – this is a trap – if we stop striving for happiness we can sometimes find moments of joy in everyday things. | <urn:uuid:91e88c4a-f784-4159-a057-afeb2c77da88> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://resolvingpain.co.uk/2014/08/19/anger-issues/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825700.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023054654-20171023074654-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.9588 | 236 | 2.6875 | 3 |

Healthy veins have one-way valves to ensure blood flows in one direction, towards the heart. When valves fail or leak, the blood flows backwards causing it to pool in the veins. The increased pressure from the pooling stretches the vein, causing enlarged, twisted blood vessels. The resulting lumpy, rope-like veins are varicose veins.
While some varicose veins only pose a cosmetic problem, some cases may cause substantial discomfort and health complications. Left untreated, varicose veins can lead to swelling, increased pain, skin discoloration and ulcerations of the lower legs. These ulcerations are difficult to treat and can become easily infected and painful. Many of these symptoms and complications can be prevented by early treatment of varicose veins. | <urn:uuid:eaf19c45-4b70-47eb-979c-699a08cdc7d8> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.veincenterla.com/varicose-veins/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822747.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018051631-20171018071631-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.929337 | 156 | 2.578125 | 3 |
As a Boston Public Schools teacher who uses the district’s new data system daily, I think James Vaznis provides a balanced account of its benefits and drawbacks (“City rounding up students’ records,” Page A1, Nov. 23). But his article overlooks an important limitation: The grading component of the system forces teachers to use a traditional grading method that sets a point value for an assignment and subtracts points when students do not meet the criteria for that assignment.
Many innovative teachers in Boston have devoted countless hours to researching, designing, and implementing innovative grading methods, including those that focus on progressing toward standards, on fulfilling a contract between the student and teacher, and on giving students credit for what they do well instead of deducting for mistakes. In many cases, these practices have been cast aside in favor of using a universal system.
This critique is not meant as an indictment of traditional grading. It certainly has its place. But with constant advances in technology, we should be able to implement a system that not only improves communication and data collection but also encourages ingenuity. | <urn:uuid:4ee110c1-4149-414b-8c1f-b3ca4526a580> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/letters/2012/11/27/schools-data-system-limits-innovation-grading/oJJ4x6xrj2xGTGzCzfSJtJ/story.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824820.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021152723-20171021172723-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.952825 | 222 | 2.59375 | 3 |
Return a number of spaces.
Syntax Space(Number) Key Number The number of spaces to return.
The Space() function can be used in VBA or in an SQL query.
Space() will return a Variant, you can also use Space$() to return a String.
You should use Space() if there is any chance of a Null value, since assigning Null to a String will raise an error.
Dim strDemo as String
strDemo = Space(5)

DCAN 8: Housing in Existing Urban Areas
Providing for enhanced public transport, walking and cycling facilities
3.31 The design of the development should consider providing direct routes and access points to shorten trips by pedestrians to local facilities, such as shops, schools and public transport links. Any pedestrian routes need to be designed with safety in mind.
3.32 Minor adjustments to the design of a development can make a signifi cant contribution to encouraging people to cycle, and this can include the provision of linkages to local cycle route networks.
3.33 Consideration of how the development would relate to public transport services, such as bus stops or train stations is also important. The development can be orientated to make access to such facilities more convenient. | <urn:uuid:2134e161-63a4-4261-8ecf-6e98259e334c> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.planningni.gov.uk/index/policy/supplementary_guidance/dcans/dcan08/dcan08_approach_housing/dcan08_design_principles/dcan08_public_transport.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823630.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020025810-20171020045810-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.941912 | 153 | 2.53125 | 3 |
|Type :||Be (Behavioral)|
|Intent :||Define the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses. Template Method lets subclasses redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm's structure.|
|Applicability :||The Template Method pattern should be used :
- to implement the invariant parts of an algorithm once and leave it up to subclasses to implement the behavior that can vary.
- when common behavior among subclasses should be factored and localized in a common class to avoid code duplication. This is a good example of "refactoring to generalize" as described by Opdyke and Johnson. You first identify the differences in the existing code and then separate the differences into new operations. Finally, you replace the differing code with a template method that calls one of these new operations.
- to control subclasses extensions. You can define a template method that calls "hook" operations at specific points, thereby permitting extensions only at those points. | <urn:uuid:6a8043ea-ca8c-4af6-a533-ceec1bd45ea4> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.goprod.bouhours.net/?page=pattern&pat_id=22 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822625.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017234801-20171018014801-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.868187 | 211 | 2.9375 | 3 |

The Mandan were relatives of the Sioux people. Around 500 AD, they probably lived in the Midwest of North America, in what is now Ohio. Like their Sioux relatives, and like the Mississippians to their south, the Crow to their west and the Shawnee to their east, the Mandan probably built earth mounds and farmed corn and beans and sunflowers.
When the Sioux moved north about 1000 AD, in response to a global warming period, they moved into the Mandans' territory in Ohio. Probably the Mandan were forced out; they moved further north and west, pushing the Crow before them, to much less fertile land in what is now North and South Dakota. Mandan historians recalled that the Mandan had moved from an eastern location near a lake.
In the Dakotas, the Mandan built nine villages on either side of the Heart River. Mandan women built and owned all of the Mandan houses, which were rectangular, with four wooden pillars whose crossbeams held up the roof. Each house held several families - thirty or forty people. Villages often had wooden fences around them for defense. In the Dakotas, the Mandan continued to farm corn and beans, though they also began to hunt buffalo. | <urn:uuid:fdbd8932-b17b-4024-9698-982964117e6b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://quatr.us/northamerica/before1500/history/mandan.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822930.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018104813-20171018124813-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.98388 | 256 | 4.15625 | 4 |
History of Soap Bar
Soap bar is the most traditional and proven method to cleanse the body. The first known soap bar is a mixture of fat and ash even be used for styling your hair at the time ofancient Babylon (about 2800 BC).
About 1500 S.M. Egyptian oils of animal and combine vegetables with alkaline salts to treat skin diseases and skin clean.
In the 17th century, the manufacture of soap in Europe became an established craft. The main producers are Italy, Spain and France; the countries which also produces rawmaterials for soap bars of olive oil. At present, soap is produced by a mixture ofvegetable and animal oils, herbs and fragrances.
In the 19th century, modern production techniques have been developed modern soaps and it can be produced in large quantities as we know it today.

The book provides an exciting interwoven mosaic about the evolutionary nature of chemistry. It follows chemical evolution from the simplest elements formed in the Big Bang to the molecular diversity and complexity present today. Review chapters demonstrate the multidisciplinary use of chemical principles and techniques and how they are central to unraveling mysteries of the universe. In addition to giving concise and well-referenced reviews, the eminent authors include recent unpublished work. Instructors will find the book useful as a text or resource for teaching how chemistry has evolved over time and shaped our world. The first three sections review chemical evolution in astrophysics, in the Solar System and Earth, and in prebiotic chemistry. The fourth section describes how these themes can be incorporated into the curriculum. It seeks to expand and integrate new approaches to chemistry into majors and non-majors courses, and to inspire the creation of new courses at the college and high school levels. The book promotes our modern understanding of evolution and applications of chemistry, and will be appreciated by chemists, instructors and students of chemistry, and all others with an interest in the evolution of the universe in which we live. | <urn:uuid:3a3bb138-3744-4853-a91f-1e63f8b60082> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://merlin.pl/chemical-evolution-ii-american-chemical-society/2976799/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822513.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017215800-20171017235800-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.922008 | 229 | 3.078125 | 3 |
Three Discoveries and a Mystery about the Origin of the Universe
In this DVD, Dr. Edwin Kerr (NASA Aerospace Engineer and Physicist) explains the three discoveries (1905, 1929, 1964) that have shaped the current standard model of the universe. The mystery is that they were anticipated thousands of years ago in the first eight verses of the Bible.
The First Three Days of the Earth (Introductory Edition) by Edwin L. Kerr, Ph. D. in Physics
Three discoveries (1905, 1929, 1964) have shown how the universe began and how the Earth formed. The author, a retired NASA aerospace engineer and scientist, show that these discoveries were anticipated thousands of years ago in the first eight verses of the Bible, in the Genesis creation narrative. The first three days of the narrative, cycles of darkness followed by light, formed the first atoms, formed the first stars, and formed the Earth. Four full-color NASA satellite pictures depict the first three days. In an afterword, Dr. Kerr shows what the agreement between science and the Bible implies for those who wish to be consistent.

California Public Schools Now Required to Teach Gay History
Under a bill signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown, California public schools will be required to teach the contributions of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans, starting January 1.
The bill requires textbooks in the social sciences curriculum to include information on the role of LGBT Americans, as well as Americans with disabilities.
This law is the first of its kind in the nation, and Brown says it’s historic.
“History should be honest”, Brown says. “This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books.”
The provision on inclusion in textbooks could reach beyond California, as many book publishers tailor their texts to California’s standards because of the state’s large population.
Even though the bill requires textbooks to include gay history starting January 1, that’s going to be difficult because California’s budget crisis has delayed the purchasing new textbooks until at least 2015. | <urn:uuid:71ecd057-c8b3-409e-9410-c6020dbf9cf2> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://ksfa860.com/california-public-schools-now-required-to-teach-gay-history/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824325.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020192317-20171020212317-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.948288 | 221 | 2.75 | 3 |
This article examines the policy behind President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation with the assumption that it would be challenged legally, while this never happened because its legality became moot after the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, Lincoln aimed to keep the proclamation as narrowly focused and constitutionally solid as possible. The article explores constitutional limitations on emancipation, the conditions leading up to emancipation, and the lasting effects of the emancipation during and following the Civil War.

Guns Germs and Steel 2 of 3
On November 15th 1532, 168 Spanish conquistadors arrive in the holy city of Cajamarca, at the heart of the Inca Empire, in Peru. They are exhausted, outnumbered and terrified – ahead of them are camped 80,000 Inca troops and the entourage of the Emperor himself. Yet, within just 24 hours, more than 7,000 Inca warriors lie slaughtered; the Emperor languishes in chains; and the victorious Europeans begin a reign of colonial terror which will sweep through the entire American continent. | <urn:uuid:cc199a9c-3be1-4692-b209-2cc6bc894d2b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://essentialsharingdocs.blogspot.com/2010/02/guns-germs-and-steel-2-of-3.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828356.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024090757-20171024110757-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.885294 | 133 | 2.6875 | 3 |

Surface disturbance in arid regions - whether it results from abandoned agriculture, overgrazing or recreational activities - often sets the stage for wind-blown fugitive dust. Revegetation provides the most sustainable soil stabilization but is difficult to achieve in any given year. Widely varying environmental conditions and soil factors make direct seeding unreliable, and transplanting of nursery-grown shrubs does not assure plant establishment, even with supplemental irrigation. In occasional years plants can be successfully established, particularly Atriplex canescens, in the western Mojave Desert. Once vegetation becomes established, it successfully stabilizes the soil surface and reduces blowing dust. However, because successful establishment is infrequent, reliable mitigation of fugitive dust requires that other techniques be used as well. | <urn:uuid:a02a1234-4980-486d-bd71-ab97144c98c4> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/SERG/publications/98grantz1.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823462.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019194011-20171019214011-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.94085 | 158 | 3.65625 | 4 |
The population of Somalia in 2003 was estimated by the United Nations at 9,890,000, which placed it as number 80 in population among the 193 nations of the world. In that year approximately 3% of the population was over 65 years of age, with another 44% of the population under 15 years of age. There were 98 males for every 100 females in the country in 2003. According to the UN, the annual population growth rate for 2000–2005 is 4.17%, with the projected population for the year 2015 at 15,263,000. The population density in 2002 was 12 per sq km (31 per sq mi).
It was estimated by the Population Reference Bureau that 28% of the population lived in urban areas in 2001. The capital city, Mogadishu, had a population of 1,162,000 in that year. Hargeysa (the former capital of British Somaliland), had an estimated 150,000 inhabitants. Other cities included Chisimayu, Berbera, and Merca. Approximately 60% of the population is nomadic. According to the United Nations, the urban population growth rate for 2000–2005 was 5.2%. | <urn:uuid:14df12e8-4034-407b-8fee-626caa8eadf1> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Africa/Somalia-POPULATION.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823731.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020044747-20171020064747-00650.warc.gz | en | 0.975126 | 241 | 3.234375 | 3 |
Space travel is the thing of the future. NASA and other space agencies are creating goals for having people travel deep space missions away from Earth to other planets, and want this to happen within just the next few decades. But in the mean time, we're busy launching rockets and experiment-filled spacecrafts to the International Space Station to gain more knowledge about the physics of space.
Is it worth it? After all, space travel is not cheap, and the yield of what we get in return is very minimal, isn't it? - Well maybe not so, but it depends who you ask.
Space travel has helped us advance technology. NASA needed certain things to make space travel possible, and as a result, engineers poured time and effort into finding new ways to accomplish fixes for problems that would occur while in space.
For example, now we have computer chips, memory foam, insulation, and other necessities all thanks to space travel. On the other hand, the bigger and bigger we dream of missions, the costlier it gets. So where do we draw the line? | <urn:uuid:74851d3c-3570-45ec-ab89-82c38c3f39c7> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.labroots.com/videos/1302/space-travel-costly-but-we-ve-learned-lot-it-worth-it | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824733.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021095939-20171021115939-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.949404 | 217 | 2.71875 | 3 |
This is a volleyball lead-up game for grades 3-4 that can be played in a classroom!
Submitted by Dianne Bartos Dobratz, Jewett City, Connecticut.
Did you ever have a day when you couldn’t use the gym? Well, here’s a neat volleyball activity for the classroom! Arrange the tables and chairs as shown below:
The desks make the shape of a capitol H. The cross bar of the H is designated as the net. Have the chairs facing the cross bar. Use a nerf volleyball or a punchball. Follow the basic rules of volleyball, plus:
The students are not allowed to get out of their chairs. If a player gets off his chair, it is considered an error. If the players in the back line are unable to reach the ball, then it is considered out of bounds. | <urn:uuid:d3750cf3-eef6-4afc-9ab3-42b8f559b29c> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://greatactivitiesonline.com/chair-volleyball/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825700.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023054654-20171023074654-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.958287 | 179 | 3.109375 | 3 |

What are water borne diseases?
As the name suggests, a disease that is transmitted by a bacteria or virus present in water is known as a water bourne disease. In the monsoons, there is a marked increase of flies, runoff from overflowing sewers, and added pollutants found from open defication and improper disposal of garbage that increase the risk of such diseases being spread.

I'm not familiar with his thesis and why one would ignore the obvious trade routes between groups in South, Central and North America. By the time of Spanish arrival in Florida, there is evidence that the wild tomato was present throughout the entire Gulf of Mexico region and was present in Florida.Andrew Fryer wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2017 12:47 pmI'm sure they got them eventually. It's just that Diamond's thesis is that crop and animal domestication worked much faster on the East-West axis than North-South, so it might have been best to keep the conversation to the original North American crops.

In this assignment, you will evaluate two hypothetical criminal cases in terms of inmate release. Imagine you are the authority figure in connection with these cases. Significant overcrowding in the prison system means these two inmates must receive early release; your task is to determine what form that release should take.
Write a paper explaining the decisions you would make regarding release in each of these scenarios and your reasons for doing so.
Scenario A: Inmate A, a former addict, was convicted of selling drugs and has served two years of a four-year sentence. This first-time offender has been a model inmate.
Scenario B: Inmate B was convicted of a white-collar crime, embezzlement, and has served nine months of a three-year sentence. This first-time offender has been reported for aggressive behavior.
Write a paper in which you address the following components:
Describe the possible methods that could be used to release each inmate into the community.
Select the release method you would assign to each criminal.
Provide a thorough explanation for each of your decisions.
You should write at least one page in response to each scenario. | <urn:uuid:85114593-8d78-4760-bd99-36ea970e49dd> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.studypool.com/discuss/442159/write-a-paper-in-which-you-address-the-following-components | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826114.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023145244-20171023165244-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.966126 | 236 | 2.609375 | 3 |
Nathan Yau, a statistician who runs the blog Flowing Data, has made a series of gorgeous maps breaking down the population of America. The maps are part of his recent project to recreate the 1874 Statistical Atlas of the United States with the original design but 2013 data.
The map above shows where people in the U.S. report having German ancestry. Germans are the largest ancestral group in the U.S., with 15.3 percent of Americans reporting that they had German heritage in 2013 (the Census allows people to pick more than one group). Almost all of these people are concentrated in middle America. This is in part because Congress turned a huge part of the country over to the railroads in the mid- to late 19th Century. In order to raise money to build the railroads, the companies actively recruited people in Germany to immigrate to the U.S. and buy the land.

You have to find the individual notes in a simple
piece of music. You can find here some music in the file cadenza.au, or just five seconds of it in the file fivesec.au. Both are in
a compact format readable by MatLab via 'auread'.
- In Exercise 8:
You need images to segment 1D slices. Here is an example of a range image. You can find more range images on the Brown Range Image Database: http://www.dam.brown.edu/ptg/brid/range/index.html . Such images have very clear discontinuities at

The File Transfer Protocol FTP is the primary Internet standard for file transfer. The current specification is contained in RFC-959 [FTP:1].
FTP uses separate simultaneous TCP connections for control and for data transfer. The FTP protocol includes many features, some of which are not commonly implemented. However, for every feature in FTP, there exists at least one implementation. The minimum implementation defined in RFC-959 was too small, so a somewhat larger minimum implementation is defined here.
Internet users have been unnecessarily burdened for years by deficient FTP implementations. Protocol implementors have suffered from the erroneous opinion that implementing FTP ought to be a small and trivial task. This is wrong, because FTP has a user interface, because it has to deal (correctly) with the whole variety of communication and operating system errors that may occur, and because it has to handle the great diversity of real file systems in the world. | <urn:uuid:2ef20a80-53c3-42c4-b959-267c98acd148> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1123/45.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825473.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022222745-20171023002745-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.936699 | 185 | 3.59375 | 4 |
Greater Manchester Climate Change Strategy (GMCCS)
Greater Manchester launched its pioneering Climate Change Strategy in 2011, setting out how it will build a greener, more sustainable region.
The strategy sets out Greater Manchester's plan to build a low carbon economy by 2020, reducing carbon emissions by 48% and reacting to the changing climate while creating future jobs and new industries in the 'green' sector. The document co-ordinates the carbon reduction plans already crafted by the ten Greater Manchester local authorities and provides an effective, integrated approach to tackling climate change.
The plan outlines four headline visions for Greater Manchester by 2020:
A rapid transition to a low carbon economy;
Collective carbon emissions reduced by 48%;
Be prepared for and actively adapting to a rapidly changing climate; and
‘Carbon literacy' will have become embedded into the culture of organisations, lifestyles and behaviours.
Manchester is already contributing to the delivery of GMCCS through Manchester: A Certain Future (MACF) and a number of programmes are being delivered in conjunction with the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA). | <urn:uuid:8b4c8499-e790-4318-8e28-a1fb6585cfa2> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/500002/council_policies_and_strategies/3833/climate_change/4 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825174.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022094207-20171022114207-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.879458 | 223 | 2.75 | 3 |

Dry grasslands support some very specialised bird species, in particular bustards, stone-curlews and sandgrouse. However, they are rapidly disappearing in Europe, causing a serious decline in these birds' populations. This seminar discussed the rate of decline / habitat loss, and recommendations for halting it, within a European context. However, the implications of this loss for other flora and fauna were also covered.

All parents strive to raise happy, healthy and productive children, but new research is changing what we consider to be the skills necessary for success in the 21st century. Paul Tough’s How Children Succeed offers an insightful overview of an evolving educational paradigm shift. Instead of the more purely cognitive focus of decades past, parents, caregivers and early educators dedicated to raising children for success are now focusing on character traits, such as grit, perseverance and leadership skills; all of which can be fostered in early childhood, and are proving to be better predictors for success than IQ scores or standardized tests.
Parents, caregivers and early educators all play pivotal roles in the first five years of a child’s life.
Understanding the rapid development that takes place during this critical stage of life and fostering these connections and skills will help shape the next generation of leaders. | <urn:uuid:c842625f-4912-4073-b1ff-64ef13836ff3> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.primroseschools.com/schools/conroe/news-item/the-importance-of-the-first-five-years/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828411.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024105736-20171024125736-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.934626 | 174 | 3.25 | 3 |

Preserving a piece of US Maritime History - invaluable
The USS Olympia is a cruiser that fought in the Spanish American War in 1898 and has been preserved in Philadelphia. She's a one of a kind ship, a national historic monument, and in danger. She needs approximately $10-15 million in repairs to keep her a viable museum for years to come. If you have the resources, or connections to those resources, please consider helping. (full disclosure - there is no financial benefit to me to ask the question - we need to save this ship for posterity). Please contact me at 612-599-1935 or [email protected] if you have additional questions.

RCW – Ecology
The Californian red worms are very important to the ecology and environment.T hey are used all the world for recycling and processing of many different types of organic waste. RCW can be useful in the treatment of certain types of waste, such as packaging in the food industry. The worms can fully process cardboard and paper, turning them into wonderful compost that does not pollute. The compost from the processing of waste, or even called biohumus is also crucial for the ecology. It restores the soil after treatment with pesticides and other chemical products.
RCW contributes for us to live in clean environment. Therefore, do not rush to throw the paper and cardboard waste in the garbage, the environment will thank you for it! | <urn:uuid:a30b05d8-972b-4acf-be54-f338401b8d2a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://biohum.com/en/%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5-%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%84%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8-%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B8-%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%BE/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823997.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020082720-20171020102720-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.93949 | 150 | 3.1875 | 3 |
More Reasons to Brush, Floss and Visit Your Dentist
Turns out that taking care of your teeth can mean a lot more for your overall well-being than just ensuring a healthy, beautiful smile.
In the last few years, Williamsburg Dental has noted study after study linking periodontal (gum) disease with other “systemic” (affecting the body) diseases like heart disease and dementia. A more recent study published in the Journal of Periodontology shows the results of a Chinese research project where more than 321,000 individuals were evaluated. The study found that those individuals with gum disease had a 1.24-fold increased risk of developing lung cancer, and that women with periodontal disease were more likely than men to develop lung cancer.
Periodontal disease, which is believed to affect half of Americans over age 30, is highly treatable and, if caught early enough, can be reversed. While additional research is needed on the possible links between systemic diseases and periodontal disease, there’s enough evidence for us to know one thing for sure: Simply taking care of our teeth can reduce the risk of gum disease and possible risk of so many other maladies. | <urn:uuid:e3adc58c-4917-4f5f-8ef1-476e03aa6900> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.williamsburg-dental.com/more-reasons-to-brush-floss-and-visit-your-dentist/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824819.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021133807-20171021153807-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.962616 | 250 | 2.625 | 3 |
One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
A colorless irritant volatile acid made catalytically from carbon monoxide and steam. It is present in the fluid emitted by some ants.
Alternative name: methanoic acid; chemical formula: HCOOH
- ‘Carbon dioxide is formed when formic acid is dehydrogenated.’
- ‘When it does so, however, it leads to the formation of highly toxic products - formic acid and oxalic acid, respectively.’
- ‘Some of these compounds are already known to be dangerous to human health when ingested, such as formaldehyde, octane, formic acid, butane, methyl propane, and benzene.’
- ‘The simplest fatty acids include formic acid and acetic acid.’
- ‘A single-step low-cost method has also been developed at the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis to produce formic acid with a yield of 90%.’
Late 18th century: formic from Latin formica ‘ant’.

Honduras has a climate like the rest of Central America – tropical. There are two seasons, wet and dry, which means that to cut a long story short, it’s either raining or it isn’t.
When it’s raining is from around May through October, and when it’s dry is the rest of the time. The Bay Islands have a slightly different timetable from the mainland, with the rainy season running from July through January and the dry from February to July.
Temperatures in Honduras are dependent on altitude. The higher up you are, the cooler it is. The Caribbean and Pacific coasts are sweltering year round, rain or shine, while the mountainous interior is much cooler. The Bay Islands are lucky enough to be blessed by offshore winds that cool things down somewhat and make the heat pleasant. Many other places are not so fortunate.
Honduras lies in the hurricane belt, although on the very edges of it. Outside of Belize, it’s the country in Central America most likely to be affected by Atlantic hurricanes. Mitch is the most famous storm to affect Honduras in recent years. In 1998 it caused much devastation to the entire country. | <urn:uuid:a1c8a763-27cf-4e50-9428-09cd676a0157> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.centralamerica.com/honduras/weather/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822145.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017163022-20171017183022-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.957204 | 246 | 3.03125 | 3 |
Robert II., King of Scotland; born in Scotland, March 2, 1316; the son of Marjory, daughter of Robert Bruce, and of Walter, steward of Scotland, and was thus the first of the Stewart or Stuart kings. He was recognized by Parliament in 1318 as heir to the crown. On the death of David II. he was crowned at Scone, March 26, 1371. An act of Parliament in 1375 settled the crown on his sons by his first wife Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan, illegitimate by ecclesiastical law. His reign was comparatively a peaceful one, one of the chief events being the battle of Otterburn. Died in Dundonald Castle, May 13, 1390.

Born Apr. 21, 1652, in Ambert; died Nov. 8, 1719, in Paris. French mathematician. Member of the Académie des Sciences (1685).
In his Traité d’algèbre (Treatise on Algebra) (1690), Rolle developed a method for isolating the real roots of algebraic equations; the method was based on a special case of Rolle’s theorem.

In this second unit, students further develop their ability to comprehend informational text by hearing and reading a variety of nonfiction sources about roles people played in a colonial settlement and how necessary their interdependence was for survival. To build students' background knowledge, the class will work together to study the wheelwright, a colonial tradesperson. They will then work in research expert groups as they become experts in one specific colonial trade. Student will select from shoemaker, cooper, blacksmith, builder/carpenter, and printer.
Students will study a variety of informational texts and also will learn the importance of citing sources by keeping a list of key sources they used during their research. With an emphasis on making inferences, summarizing informational text, and basic research (note taking, pulling together information from a variety of texts, and sorting information into research categories), students synthesize information form multiple sources. This research will serve as the foundation of their culminating performance task (Unit 3) | <urn:uuid:e24e5e4e-fb4c-483c-b26b-802fc00302ce> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/4th-Grade-ELA-Module-2A-Unit-2-Powerpoint-1051769 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824675.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021081004-20171021101004-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.942173 | 196 | 3.21875 | 3 |
