Understanding New Media Chapters 44-46
This groups of chapters also talks about forms of new media. Chapter 44 talks about blogs, which are personal online journals. The "blogosphere" has been broken up into smaller communities of interest. Blogs are personal, but can be a communal effort, and can also serve as news media. Chapter 45 talks about search engines (specifically Google) and their effect on libraries. Students now do most of their research via the internet and don't often use physical media such as books and microfilm found in libraries. Chapter 46 talks about videoconferencing and web-based collaboration tools. Logan writes that videoconferencing over the internet is better than standalone systems because it is cheaper and of better quality. | <urn:uuid:0867ef5f-a746-4fe6-a03b-14fd27995991> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://hmmunications.blogspot.com/2012/06/understanding-new-media-chapters-44-46_27.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826283.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023183146-20171023203146-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.963691 | 159 | 2.859375 | 3 |

Condensate Pots were used in steam service for two reasons :
One reason being that a level of condensed water is accumulated
inside of the pot (some pots were vertical others horizontal) and
maintained a fluid volume for displacement equal to or greater than
the volume displacement of the instrument sensing the
flow or pressure.
The second reason for maintaining a liquid inside of the pot
(were alsocalled chambers) was to prevent flashing of the liquid in
the sensing line if a sudden temperature change of the steam is
made. A dam inside of the pot prevented this flashing effect. | <urn:uuid:43c894c0-7b20-4079-b73e-0728f14d15ba> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://pmtengineers.com/condensate_pot.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822145.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017163022-20171017183022-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.877807 | 156 | 2.828125 | 3 |
Metric length units millimeter to centimeter conversion factor is 0.1. To find out how many centimeters in millimeters, multiply by 0.1 or use the converter.
1 Millimeter = 0.1 Centimeter
Millimeter (millimetre in British English) is a metric unit. Used widely to measure small distances in engineering and machining. The abbreviation is "mm".
Centimeter (centimetre in British English) is a metric length unit and equals to one hundredth of a meter which is base metric length unit. The abbreviation is "cm".

Moving to 400 VDC Can Make Energy Supply Chains more Efficient
Energy supply chains are pressured to deliver electrical power in a more efficient manner. Many governments are pushing an eco-friendly agenda of 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gases and energy consumption. There is also a push for a 20 percent reliance on power generated from renewable resources within 2020. These stand even when there is a massive increase in the count of important power consumers like data centers as networks, voice and data merge and converge. Demands from users rise by 10 percent every year.
In such a scenario, transition to the 400 VDC when it comes to power distribution and subsequent conversion will go on to satisfy all greenhouse gas, renewable energy, and efficiency aims.
DC is preferred over conventional AC for a number of reasons. There is no need for DC power to need source synchronization like AC- a big plus for custom power supplies. It can draw on solar and wind and even from grid as the source becomes available. Harmonic issues and phase balancing becomes inconsequential and there will be no issues related to “stranded” equipment. The need for expensive infrastructure investments also becomes redundant. | <urn:uuid:072918cb-3c7a-40c8-9a62-5a3fc9631b09> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://gwentechembedded.com/moving-400-vdc-can-make-energy-supply-chains-efficient/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822513.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017215800-20171017235800-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.930656 | 233 | 2.90625 | 3 |

Oral health is an increasingly important part of overall health. According to a World Health Organization fact sheet, 60 to 90 percent of school children worldwide and nearly 100 percent of adults have dental cavities. Many cannot access treatment or lack dental insurance. Severe periodontal (gum) disease, which may result in tooth loss, is found in 15 to 20 percent of adults 35 to 44 years old. Globally, about 30 percent of people 65 to 74 years old have no natural teeth, suggesting that the need for treatment and oral health education will increase as populations age.
Oral health issues include access to dental care, rural fluoride use, oral side effects of tobacco use, oral hygiene education, nutrition, and treatment of children with cleft palates and noma. Oral global health also has varied implications for numerous diseases and cancers. A range of oral issues are also often early indicators of HIV infection. Oral manifestations of some diseases can be life-saving if diagnosed and treated appropriately.
At NIH, the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) leads oral, dental and craniofacial health research and research training efforts.

The Titanic Conspiracy. In 1912, the RMS Titanic was the largest luxury liner in the world. In April of that year it would set off on its maiden voyage. Carrying over 2200 passengers & crew, the ship was to ultimately travel to New York, but on April 14th disaster struck. An iceberg would damage the ship and would cause seawater to flood and sink her. Just over 700 would be rescued. Many years later, though, a man would come up with a theory. That this 'disaster' was no accident. The sister ship to the Titanic, the Olympic, had been damaged in a collision with a British cruiser, the HMS Hawke in 1911. Because it was damaged so extensively, a scheme was hatched where the two ships would be switched. The Olympic could go down and insurance claims made to recover the cost. Meanwhile, the Titanic could go on to make White Star Line money as the Olympic. Is there evidence supporting this theory? Did JP Morgan really endanger all of those people just to protect his company? | <urn:uuid:b01965a0-4800-4eec-bbc5-4f4424fb6db0> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://thegenerationwhypodcast.com/the-titanic-conspiracy-160-generation-why | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824537.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021005202-20171021025202-00752.warc.gz | en | 0.985437 | 215 | 2.703125 | 3 |
The Children’s Department discovered that a recently returned picture book reveals new evidence of climate change. Sometimes, people accidentally leave books outside where rain or snow can turn them to pulp. However, the unusual, greenish precipitation that destroyed this Dr. Seuss classic picture book turns out to be a non-Newtonian fluid composed of water, cornstarch and food coloring. Further research reveals that music affects this goop in strange, unpredictable ways.

Guess the flower
:) :) :)
Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. When it comes to size, banksias range from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall. They are generally found in a wide variety of landscapes; sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts.
Heavy producers of nectar, banksias are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. They are an important food source for all sorts of nectarivorous animals, including birds, bats, rats, possums, stingless bees and a host of invertebrates. Furthermore, they are of economic importance to Australia's nursery and cut flower industries. However these plants are threatened by a number of processes including land clearing, frequent burning and disease, and a number of species are rare and endangered.

Anonymous: Benin bronze - The Oba with Europeans (16th century)
(British Museum, London, UK)
Something completely different this time. This is a brass sculpture from Benin, Africa. These sculptures (often called the 'Benin Bronzes') used to adorn the royal palace of the king (the 'oba') in Benin city. Benin was a powerful empire in West Africa from 1180 to 1897. The empire came to an end with the British 1897 punitive expedition during which British soldiers invaded Benin (the expedition was a retaliation after an British expedition of about 250 men was massacred by Benin troops a year earlier) and burned Benin city to the ground. During this process most of the Benin art was looted by the British and auctioned afterwards, including the famous 'Benin Bronzes'. This sculpture the Oba in the middle. He is dressed in a loin-cloth with a plaited border and a close-fitting, sleeved upper garment, covered with cylindrical beads. To his left and right are two attendants. Above the attendants are two long-haired Europeans, probably either Portuguese or Dutch, who are wearing a hat with a feather. Sculpture from the 16th century. | <urn:uuid:1323df05-502f-4aac-a078-b2ce79fa0433> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://art-in-space.blogspot.com/2015/10/anonymous-benin-bronze-oba-with.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822513.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017215800-20171017235800-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.971067 | 256 | 3.171875 | 3 |
An octagon is a shape with eight sides that are all the same length. By knowing the length of just one side of the shape, you can learn a great deal about the octagon's other properties, such as its area. Additionally, if you are dealing with a three-dimensional octagon, you can discover its volume with little information.
Multiply the length of one side of the octagon by itself.
Multiply the number you calculated in Step 1 by 4.8284. This is the area of the octagon.
Multiply the area of the octagon by its depth to find its volume. | <urn:uuid:41577482-7f02-481b-8e54-88599324168b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://sciencing.com/calculate-volume-octagon-7849027.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187827662.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023235958-20171024015958-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.968051 | 130 | 3.828125 | 4 |
Nineteen years after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant, researchers say the surrounding land in Ukraine has more biodiversity.
Some 100 species on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of threatened species, as well as bear and wolf, have been found in the evacuated zone, says Viktor Dolin, of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences in Kiev, reported the Moscow News Thursday.
There are a lot of mutations in species but they get weeded out and many young fish living in the reactor's cooling ponds are deformed. But adults tend to be healthy, implying that those harmed by radiation die young, said James Morris of the University of South Carolina.
However, with some 40 different radioactive elements -- including strontium-90 and decay products of uranium and plutonium -- released into the exclusion zone, it will be many hundreds of millennia before humans could live in the area again, said Dolin.

GCSEs or IGCSEsIGCSEs are taken by many independent schools in preference to GCSEs because they are frankly, harder, and a better preparation for A - Level or IB.
Many people think that the standard of GCSEs has fallen since it was introduced, partly because of the introduction of school league tables and the push by many schools yo have students get 5 GCSE grades C - A*. Exam boards has been in competition with each other to have schools sit their exams in preference to other boards, and one of the ways in which they have competed is to lower the standard needed to pass their exams. Exams being easier to pass, but still counting as a GCSE would therefore be preferred.
Competition between exam boards for IGCSEs is less intense because it is not as common as GCSE s and standard have been maintained. In maths IGCSE for example, there are many topic areas from A - Level Maths eg integration and differentiation. | <urn:uuid:31a9825b-b4c7-4bf7-a0aa-2872ada37504> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://astarmathsandphysics.com/advice/4162-gcses-or-igcses.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823229.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019050401-20171019070401-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.988977 | 202 | 3.25 | 3 |

Prepare a planting spot in full sun or partial or dappled shade. Cultivate the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches, using a spade or a garden fork. Improve soil quality and drainage by spreading 2 to 3 inches of organic material such as ground bark, decomposed manure or compost on top of the soil, then dig the material into the soil.
Dig a hole for each English bluebell bulb. Plant each small, rounded bulb 4 inches deep with the pointed side facing up, then fill the hole with soil. Allow 4 inches between each bulb.
Water the planting area deeply so that the soil is saturated. The English bluebells will bloom in spring.
Allow the foliage to die down naturally after the English bluebells are finished blooming. The green foliage absorbs the sun's energy, keeping the bulbs healthy for the coming year. Remove the foliage when it dies down and turns yellow. The English bluebells will bloom again the following spring. | <urn:uuid:f2381618-8756-48c0-8829-201c29c656b1> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.gardenguides.com/how_7583533_plant-english-bluebells.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823214.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019012514-20171019032514-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.903116 | 201 | 2.96875 | 3 |

In this touching scene, Joseph leads the diminutive Christ by his wrist while Mary, in a tender display of maternal guidance, places a hand on his shoulder. This illumination depicts a rarely illustrated event in the life of Christ. According to the Gospels, the twelve-year-old Jesus accompanied Mary and Joseph to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. The Latin text at the bottom of the page beginning with "Ave Maria" ("Hail Mary") serves as a descriptive caption, added in the 1400s to identify the scene. | <urn:uuid:6d69025a-5329-4951-99f5-5e751f2f4efe> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/244406/unknown-maker-christ-led-to-jerusalem-by-mary-and-joseph-english-1190-to-1490/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822145.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017163022-20171017183022-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.909588 | 239 | 3.4375 | 3 |

Originally, the Chinese played tangrams with the obligatory seven figures made out of wood and coloured with natural dyes. Nowadays, we can create the tangram puzzles from foam to cardboard and
paper; the separate figures can be made out practically of anything.
Even the process of creating the puzzle can turn into a game for children. | <urn:uuid:2b9a5c87-c8ea-415f-98b7-e409a43eefc2> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.tangram-channel.com/tangram-activities/tangrams-to-cut-out/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823220.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019031425-20171019051425-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.915345 | 241 | 2.6875 | 3 |
Connecting communities through growing food arts science & a vegetable. THANK POTATO features an unique contemporary potato grow show, art & science exhibition. Urban Farm‘s THANK POTATO potato collection is grown in up-cycled water cooler bottles and artificial grass off cuts, utilising waste stream materials to house and grow our potato plants. There are 180 different varieties of heritage and heirloom potatoes in the collection. Why grow Potatoes as an urban food project ? The potato is the fourth most important food in the world. But so far, it has not featured prominently in the debate on food security. The potato crop is of key importance in that it provides high nutrition and is an adaptive species for climate change. Potatoes use less water per nutritional output than all other major food sources. | <urn:uuid:f4703b95-7c0f-49c7-a6d4-1c66c99d3ac9> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.dublinmaker.ie/thank-potato/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823220.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019031425-20171019051425-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.924419 | 162 | 2.578125 | 3 |
A Russian inventor emailed me photos of his patent-pending bullet design. These bullets are loaded in 12.7×108mm cases.
The inventor did not explain to me how this design is beneficial but according to a study done by the US Military in the 1950s (PDF Link), the center of gravity affects how a bullets will yaw when it encounters a solid object. Yawing (and tumbling) can be reduced by make a bullet nose heavy.
Not long after that report was published both the USA and Russia adopted cartridges designed to tumble upon hitting the target. The 5.45×39mm round actually contains a hollow cavity in the nose to make it base heavy.
The benefits of tumbling bullets on soft targets is still hotly debated but for anti-material and anti-armour applications penetration is the name of the game. | <urn:uuid:ba4074bd-f8bc-458f-9777-e11fff8d5846> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/10/10/prototype-rusengin-bullet/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187821189.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017125144-20171017145144-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.950177 | 173 | 2.671875 | 3 |
This species occurs in eastern and central Sumatra, Natuna Besar and Borneo where it is found below 700m asl. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites.
Habitat and Ecology
It is present throughout rainforest habitat, but it does not occur in swamp forests. Breeding and larval development takes place in standing water or in slow-moving intermittent streams. It is not found in open habitats outside forests.
Although the species appears to occur everywhere in well-drained lowland rainforest, it is not considered to be an abundant species.
The species is threatened by clear felling of forests. This is occurring at an increasing pace in both Borneo and Sumatra.
The species has been recorded from a number of protected areas in Borneo and Sumatra. To protect this species, conservation of hilly forest is needed.

Sardines are named after the island of Sardinia, where they were once found in abundance. Found in shoals throughout the Atlantic and Mediterranean, sardines have a silver skin and a rich-flavoured flesh that is dark in colour.
A very healthy oily fish, older sardines are known as pilchards. Tinned sardines are also common, and while they lack the subtlety of taste of the fresh fish, they are a useful storecupboard ingredient.
Choose the best
Sardines do not travel well, so choose fish caught as locally as possible. Select bright-eyed, fresh looking fish with shiny skin.
Scale and gut your sardines before use. This is quite simple - just remove the head and twist the backbone out.
Sardines do not keep well, and should be eaten as fresh as possible.
Sardines are best treated simply - grill, barbeque or fry them with simple Mediterranean accompaniments.
Try anchovy or mackerel. | <urn:uuid:77689e38-c49b-47c2-82f3-3aee2f79f64f> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/glossary/sardine-0 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825889.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023092524-20171023112524-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.941989 | 211 | 2.625 | 3 |

A deficiency in Vitamin C will result in a deficiency in the healing, glandular, immune and regenerative abilities of the body. It plays a major role in the formation and maintenance of bones and tissues. Vitamin C may help prevent cancer and arteriosclerosis. Classic Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) results in gum disease, loss of teeth, bad breath, weakened bones, bleeding and general debility. Although dogs and cats produce Vitamin C there may be a need to supplement additional levels of Vitamin C during times of stress and disease. Increased intake has been shown to help animals with allergies, infections, heart disease, periodontal disease, osteoarthritis and wounds. Vitamin C may protect the body against heavy metals and the side effects of cortisone.
The antiviral dose of Vitamin C has been reported to be as high as 1 gram / lb. in some cases.
Vitamin C may cause diarrhea when added at too high of a rate in the diet and should be fed to gut tolerance levels.

Story Provided by +Jenny Royer, 4th Grade ELA Teacher, Elementary School South
I used a random group creator online to form four groups. Each group had to analyze their poem together, discussing the poetry terms we've learned this year. I created an assignment in Google Classroom that included Google Slides.
Each group had to work together to create a slideshow to present the poem and five STAAR based questions to ask the class based on the poem. Once completed, each group presented their poems to the class, talked them through how to comprehend and pull out the key elements of the text, and discussed each of the questions with the class.
Now instead of listening to me talk them through it all, they were able to show their own knowledge and become the teachers. Some of the groups finished early, so I was able to show them how to incorporate slide transitions and insert pictures from Google. Overall, this project was a win-win for all involved! They had "fun" while learning and I was able to hear them using the terminology that they needed to review. | <urn:uuid:4f4c6eef-ea54-4e52-9514-832410d5b0e4> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://bhtechnology.blogspot.com/2016/04/google-classroom.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824820.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021152723-20171021172723-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.982828 | 220 | 2.828125 | 3 |
The self-organisation of cells during the development and maintenance of tissues is one of the most intriguing non-equilibrium processes in nature. How do cells coordinate their behaviour in order to build a complex structure like a living organism? The ability to self-renew places stem cells, which have the remarkable capacity to generate multiple cell types in the developing and adult body, at the apex of theories of tissue maintenance and development. To ensure that the correct composition of differentiated cell types is generated at the right time and place, the fate of stem cells must be precisely regulated. Understanding how stem cells regulate their fate is pivotal for understanding diseases that arise due to dysregulation, such as diabetes and cancer, and for the development of stem-cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine.
Recent advances in single-cell genomics and multi-omics for the first time allow quantifying the transcriptome and epigenome on the level of single cells, thereby providing the exciting opportunity to gain mechanistic insight into the molecular processes underlying stem cell fate behaviour. With our collaborators we combine novel single-cell sequencing experiments with methods from non-equilibrium physics to unveil the mechanisms unveiling stem cell fate behaviour on the molecular level. | <urn:uuid:21445c97-abcf-4ba4-a458-5ecfc8c44da8> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.pks.mpg.de/statistical-physics-of-living-systems/research/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825227.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022113105-20171022133105-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.909129 | 241 | 2.546875 | 3 |
Chicago Botanic Garden. Chicago, Illinois, US.
"The Chicago Botanic Garden traces its origins back to the Chicago Horticultural Society, founded in 1890. Using the motto Urbs in Horto, meaning "city in a garden," the Society hosted nationally recognized flower and horticultural shows; its third was the World's Columbian Exposition Chrysanthemum Show, held in conjunction with the world's fair held in October 1893. In 1962, its modern history began when the Society agreed to help create and manage a new public garden. With the groundbreaking for the Chicago Botanic Garden in 1965 and its opening in 1972, the Society created a permanent site on which to carry out its mission."

Fetal and neonatal care focuses on aspects of child health and diseases from perinatal period to adolescence stage. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 340,000 maternal deaths, 2.7 Mn stillbirths and 3.1 Mn neonatal deaths occur worldwide each year. As per a recent study the rate of maternal death, stillbirth and early neonatal death have declined in the high as well as few middle-income countries, primarily because of improved obstetric care. There are 17 National Institute of Child Health and Development Neonatal Research Network in U.S. where programs are introduced or experimented in order to enhance the quality and research for better outcomes of patients. In 2013, Children's Health launched Texas’ first dedicated neonatal telemedicine service which offers physicians availability at other NICU’s hospitals for neonatal cases. Vendors focus on providing highly efficient and low cost equipment in order to cater to the neonatal segment which reduces morbidity and mortality in regions with poor resources and less skilled physicians. | <urn:uuid:241b2e69-62c9-4774-9827-3acd16e3b3a3> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://slidehot.com/resources/fetal-and-neonatal-care-equipment-market-size-and-key-trends-in-terms-of-volume-and-value-2016-2026.2854542/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823284.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019122155-20171019142155-00750.warc.gz | en | 0.933161 | 210 | 2.671875 | 3 |

The fungi are heterogenous organisms grouped together on the basis of structure, biochemistry, and physiology. They are classified primarily by mode of sexual reproduction, and are aerobic decay organisms. They cause human hypersensitivity, infectious, and toxic diseases. Environmental assessment can involve looking for obvious growth, or sampling either reservoirs or air. Interpretation of sampling data requires correlation with the nature and distribution of complaints.

Regulation is the process of governments passing laws to control certain activities, often restricting some business activities. Deregulation is the opposite process of governments removing these restrictions and granting businesses greater freedom.
Purpose of Regulation
Regulation laws may be passed to protect the public from what is viewed as unethical or dangerous business activities.
Example of Regulation
For example, New Zealand regulates research on biotechnology to protect public health and safety and to ensure ethical research practices.
Purpose of Deregulation
Deregulation may be enacted because regulations may be seen as harmful to businesses or competition.
Example of Deregulation
An example of deregulation is the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992, which removed restrictions on American electricity companies in an attempt to increase competition.
Problems of Deregulation
Deregulation can create disruption in the market and harm consumers. For example, Tom Allison, a counsel to the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, argued that deregulation of the American airline industry led to disruptions and increased costs. | <urn:uuid:ca57e078-9bfa-4cf7-9d8a-8b7c348ffc0d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://legalbeagle.com/6016665-regulation-deregulation.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825812.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023073607-20171023093607-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.933234 | 216 | 3.375 | 3 |

But there is a more important question to ask: “How do I keep my children safe from infectious childhood diseases and keep them healthy in the process?”
With Autism rates climbing, more and more children allergic to everything from food to nature, being diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, and Asthma, Eczema all on the rise parents are justified in questioning the role vaccinations play in the long term health of their children.
Homeopathy a 200yr old system of natural medicine offers an alternative. Homeoprophylaxis (HP).
Homeoprophylaxis is a systematic way of safely introducing the energetic imprint of childhood infectious diseases like measles and whooping cough to the baby’s young immune system for education and protection. Without actual viruses or stabilizers, aluminum and adjuvants. No injections, instead, the information of the disease is delivered on tiny sugar pellets, one disease at a time.
Let’s change the conversation from – yes or no to vaccinations – to how can I best protect my child. Let’s talk about protecting children’s health safely, effectively and naturally.

This is an interesting article on reputation and psychopathic tendencies. Whether or not you agree with its conclusions, it is worth reading. A psychopath is a person who doesn't care what others think of him. Reputation has no meaning. If the person lies, cheats or steals, there is no feeling for those who have suffered loss because of the psychopath. Lack of empathy allows behavior that is offensive to society. The article, more controversially, maintains that great wealth, or the prospect of it, breeds distance from others and an inability to understand what others experience. Anyone who knows the history of philanthropy will know that isn't necessarily true. On the other hand, the temptation to transgress social norms is larger when there is a pot of gold in bad behavior. The main point of the article is important. Those who distance themselves from society can develop tendencies to transgress society's norms and are a danger. In other words, reputation is important. | <urn:uuid:4977e9b5-cbf8-42cd-bc61-97bf4278ae65> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://online-pr.blogspot.com/2011/12/reputation-and-psychopathic-tendencies.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828356.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024090757-20171024110757-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.95591 | 197 | 2.53125 | 3 |
Opioids refer to a group of narcotic painkiller medications which are either obtained from opium or are derived synthetically. This group of drugs includes heroin, morphine, codeine, methadone and oxycodone. Opioids were traditionally prescribed to treat primarily cancer pain,post-operative pain or acute pain following an accident.
Since the 1990’s however, opioid prescriptions to treat chronic pain conditions including back pain has greatly increased.
Opioid narcotic administration can have serious side effects if not taken correctly including possible toxicity to the body, physical dependence, and the loss of efficacy due to developmental tolerance and psychological dependence or addiction.
Opioid therapy should be considered as a last treatment option in cases of unrelieved pain despite alternative medications (non-opioid drugs). Patients should be informed regarding the side effects of opioids and suggested to follow-up with their doctor regularly. Monthly appointments should be scheduled to assess the dose of the drug until the patient experiences partial or complete relief of pain. | <urn:uuid:2b38f42e-b031-4aed-aae2-b87ebfbaf520> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://arifgul.co.uk/opioid-medication/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820927.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017052945-20171017072945-00571.warc.gz | en | 0.931373 | 206 | 2.609375 | 3 |

The Green Hues of an Iodide-based Gelatin Silver Print
The deep green hue of this gelatin silver print is unusual and is outside the range of what is generally possible by selection of papers and developers, so we used XRF analysis to dig a little deeper. Other than the usual gelatin silver prints suspects (silver, barium, and strontium) the only other peak is a very small peak at about 7.48KeV, just right for the K-alpha peak of Nickel. At first we thought we had discovered a new nickel-based toner, but soon realized that the nickel peak is due to internal components of the portable XRF unit, so it appears that while unusual the green is not the result of toning but rather an unusual paper. After a little research we found this article on green-hued prints: http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Green/green.html. It seems that silver-iodide based gelatin silver prints sometimes show this green tonality. The early 20th century subject matter fits with the iodide papers available at that time. | <urn:uuid:eaf55440-ce6e-4dd1-b0ea-b4befec39b65> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://xraysonart.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-green-hues-of-nickel-toned-gelatin.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824104.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020120608-20171020140608-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.936755 | 250 | 2.84375 | 3 |

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly. We have thus seen 65 years of the international project of addressing human rights issues at a global level through the United Nations and associated organisations. Human rights occupy a paradoxical place in international politics. Human rights treaties address the most intimate issues of personal freedom, autonomy and self-determination, but the institutions developed for the promotion of human rights operate at a global level seemingly distanced from this intimate and individual scale. In human rights advocacy there is thus constant mediation between the individual, the local, the national, the regional and the global. In this collection of essays we consider human rights issues at the regional level – in some East and Southeast Asian nations and in their associated national and diasporic communities. | <urn:uuid:d2d0a0b9-4da4-4513-963b-1548d9f9ee40> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://ro.uow.edu.au/lhapapers/849/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823630.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020025810-20171020045810-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.912524 | 163 | 2.703125 | 3 |

Some 2 billion people suffer from hidden hunger caused by infections and diets lacking in essential micronutrients such as vitamin A, iron, and zinc. This is particularly the case in the developing world, where diets mainly consist of starchy staples and not enough nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans and pulses, and animal source foods. But what if those food staples that people eat regularly were made to work toward better nutrition? And how does that fit with the need for dietary diversification? | <urn:uuid:03fd6ee6-903b-4757-a1bd-9bb0ee0ca893> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/75974 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824226.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020154441-20171020174441-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.903777 | 187 | 2.734375 | 3 |
This is an addition and/or subtraction board game that is based on the popular kids movie, 'Frozen'. Students can play in pairs or small groups. They take turns rolling the die and moving that many spaces. When they land on the number, they roll the die again and add or subtract the two numbers.
This board game is differentiated to suit the various abilities within your class. That is, it contains one-digit, two-digit and three-digit numbered games. The game can be differentiated further by using 'dot' dice for the learners who require support and numbered dice (two-digit) for the more capable learners. | <urn:uuid:6f0441d6-65d9-4535-9aad-b82959705076> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Addition-and-Subtraction-Board-Game-Frozen-themed-1269075 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826114.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023145244-20171023165244-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.926251 | 131 | 2.65625 | 3 |

According to Jane Spillman:
"Corning Glass came to Corning in 1868 and never made mirrors (except the one for the mt. Palomar telescope). There were no other glass factories in the area until Steuben was founded in 1903 and they didn't make mirrors either. Flat glass production is quite different from blown glass production and is always done in dedicated factories. It's possible that some cabinet maker in Elmira bought unframed mirrors from elsewhere and designed and made frames, but the only way I can think of to trace that would be to check the Chemung County Historical Society and Chemung County/Elmira city directories and look for advertisements. The curator at Chemung County Historical Society might be able to help you." | <urn:uuid:96273e69-7258-4002-a554-ab40f589decb> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://libanswers.cmog.org/faq/143709 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824537.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021005202-20171021025202-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.968177 | 163 | 2.53125 | 3 |
Territoires du sein explores the many paths associated with breast cancer. Unequal access to the health care system, a lack of parity, support networks, medical knowledgeand responses of the artistic community. In 2001, artist Sonja B. Hernandez was diagnosed with breast cancer at Evanston hospital in the United States. She had to cancel surgery on two occasions. On the first occasion, her right to be informed about other treatment options was not respected, then, she was not consulted in the decision. She fought tooth and nail to finally be able to access non-discriminatory medical care at this establishment. After contacting several philanthropic organisations, she was finally able to receive reconstructive surgery and the treatment she needed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. This documentary shows the inequalities in the choice of medical care in the United States, and the fact that 46 million Americans without medical insurance could face serious violations of their fundamental rights as patients.

The stomach connects the esophagus to the small intestine, and functions to break up food into small particles that can be absorbed by the small intestine.
In cases of chronic stomach problems (such as ulcers), obesity or cancer, partial or total removal of the stomach may be indicated.
An incision is made in the skin over the pyloric region of the stomach.
The diseased portion of the stomach is removed. The small intestine is attached to the remainder of the stomach to maintain the integrity of the digestive tract.
The patient will be on nasogastric tube suction to keep the stomach empty and at rest after surgery. After several days and when the stomach starts to function normally again the tube will be removed and the patient will begin ingesting clear liquids and gradually progress to a full and normal diet.

Arts in Community Settings
This publication presents the findings of an evaluation of two community focussed grants programs, Arts Development for Communities and Arts Residencies undertaken in 2006.
The results of independently mediated focus groups with artists, community participants and partner organisations were the main source of data for the report. It was jointly produced by the research units at Creative Victoria and the Department for Planning and Community Development.
The report demonstrates that arts can be a powerful and inclusive way of strengthening communities by:
- engaging hard-to-reach populations, such as youth, ethnic and socio-economically disadvantaged communities;
- providing a creative focus for communities to explore issues and aspirations;
- creating new and diverse artistic work and cultural experiences;
- developing confidence, pride and a sense of belonging in participants; and
- providing artists and participants with new career pathways and work opportunities. | <urn:uuid:b89743ef-d9d7-4290-b5cd-cd5f06c5bbdd> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://creative.vic.gov.au/research/reports/strengthening-local-communities | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826283.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023183146-20171023203146-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.941966 | 177 | 2.515625 | 3 |
Placards Posted to Save Indian River Dolphins
Biologists are posting hundreds of signs on the seawalls of the Indian River Lagoon in an effort to save dolphins. The placards caution visitors not to feed the dolphins or discard fishing gear in the lagoon.
The placards, which have been used in other coastal areas, have proven effective.
“We’re using them on seawalls and fishing piers where the fishermen set up all their gear and they’re sitting there, waiting for a fish, and they’re looking down and the massage is right there,” said Cheryl Munday, Marine Mammal Outreach Specialist.
Seven dolphins have been killed by fishing lines and hooks so far this year, a surge from recent years. Fishing lines can entangle dolphins or cause them to choke on their food. Biologists believe the increase in deaths is caused my mother dolphins teaching their calves to take fish off fishing lines and approach humans for food. | <urn:uuid:f0ce5794-f55f-4580-849e-4a833f1e3371> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.wmfe.org/placards-posted-to-save-indian-river-dolphins/76949 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824899.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021205648-20171021225648-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.945077 | 200 | 2.578125 | 3 |
On this day in 1945, the evacuation of the Auschwitz concentration camp begins. The Soviet army were fast approaching, and the Nazi officials at Auschwitz had previously begun dismantling gas chambers to hide their crimes. Himmler ordered the evacuation as the Red Army closed in. 60,000 prisoners from Auschwitz were forced on a death march toward Wodzisław Śląski (Loslau) where they would be sent to other camps. Around 15,000 died on the way. 7,500 of the weak and sick remained, and they were liberated by the 322nd Rifle Division of the Soviet Red Army on January 27th 1945. | <urn:uuid:711904f4-e7ae-4111-9525-beda67f87d07> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://todayinhistoryblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/january-17th-1945-evacuation-of-auschwitz/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820927.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017052945-20171017072945-00571.warc.gz | en | 0.986355 | 131 | 3.75 | 4 |
– Iodine-131 Still Detected in Sewage Sludge in Tokyo (EX-SKF, July 19, 2011):
The chart below is created by me from the data provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Sewerage regarding radioactive iodine and cesium at the 12 sewage treatment plants in Tokyo. The chart only shows iodine-131, in the dehydrated sewage sludge. The unit is becquerels/kg.
After nearly 4 months since the last known large discharge of radioactive materials from Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant (March 21), you would think radioactive iodine would be undetectable by now.
On checking Japanese Twitter on the subject, I’ve found an interesting theory. Some people think that maybe there are hospitals in those areas where iodine-131 increased, and they are dumping radioactive iodine in the sewage that they use for treatment for thyroid problems; or that it’s from the urine of the patients treated for thyroid problems.
Anything’s possible. Probable though would be a continuing discharge from Fukushima I Nuke Plant, but who knows? | <urn:uuid:3f130714-874e-48f2-b0c4-740130b8ff81> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2011/07/19/dramatic-rise-in-radioactive-iodine-131-in-tokyo-sewage/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823255.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019065335-20171019085335-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.935807 | 222 | 2.578125 | 3 |
An interesting concept in science is biomimicry. It is the science that takes inspiration from unique designs and processes in nature to help humans.
Learning from the Ursidae( hibernating bears) about how they remain metabolically quiet and yet have no major complications can help science. If we had 6 months of bed rest, we would have heart failure, blood clots, muscle wasting, hypercalcemia and bed sores. Interestingly, these bears have no heart failure, no blood clots, only have 10-15% reduction in muscle mass and only have fat breakdown. They remain without bed sores and normocalcemic. Why do these bears not get azotemia in these settings? They have marked reduction in GFR when they hibernate, yet no azotemia? Why?
A recent article in Kidney international looks at this very concept and proposes some hypothesis to test. | <urn:uuid:0d64999f-0b2c-47e5-9b67-cb1c0ae986ad> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.nephronpower.com/2013/02/hibernating-bears-and-nephrology.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823462.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019194011-20171019214011-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.942593 | 184 | 2.703125 | 3 |
1385. What kinds of things get stored in read-only memory, as opposed to storing them on the hard drive?
When you first turn on a typical computer, it must run an initial program that sets up the operating system. This initial program has to run even before the computer is able to interact with its hard drive, so the program must be available at the very instant the computer's power becomes available. Read-only memory is used for this initial bootup operation. Unlike normal random access memory, which is usually "volatile" and loses its stored information when power is removed, read-only memory retains its information without power. When you turn on the computer, this read-only memory provides the instructions the computer uses to begin loading the operating system from the hard drive. | <urn:uuid:9bb3e0e1-cdc7-4e18-afaa-aacdd4de327a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.howeverythingworks.org/print1.php?QNum=1385 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825510.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023020721-20171023040721-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.944263 | 159 | 3.640625 | 4 |
- the return of the Sun
Beltane is a Celtic festival which signals the beginning of the bright half of the year. Beltane may be translated as "fires of Bel" or "brilliant fire" and is name after the god Belenus.
The festival begins on Beltane Eve with two bonfires started from nine different woods. Domestic animals and people pass between the bonfires to eliminate disease and misfortune. In the days before electricity, the bonfire was used to light brands which rekindled lights throughout households in the village. Ancient Beltane festivals customarily included sexuality, dancing around the maypole, and singing.
Modern pagan celebrations include maypole dances and jumping the cauldron for fertility purposes. Fertility in this sense is extended beyond reproduction and includes fertility of imagination and other similar concepts. | <urn:uuid:163468b1-655a-4199-9a40-d988d2ceb24f> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://foggymoon.com/seasons/Beltane.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824471.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020230225-20171021010225-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.940739 | 166 | 3.015625 | 3 |
Did you know that if you fly a drone in front of moose it’s likely to attack it?
In this video a guy captures amazing footage of a moose walking in the woods using his drone.
Watch what happens when he flies the drone close to the moose, and see if you can tell when the animals attitude quickly changes.
The drone navigator was well trained, as he was able to get it into the trees without it getting caught. The moose didn’t like it getting too close though.
Did you see how the moose reacted to coming face to face with the drone? It charged and then quickly bolted in the other direction, maybe attempting to scare the drone.
The landscape captured by the drone was truly gorgeous and seeing the moose in its natural habitat was humbling.
Drones are being used more and more for hunting purposes, but he sure to check your local wildlife laws for state specific regulations. | <urn:uuid:e8f64c16-efbc-4888-aa72-4693ab9c6386> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.wideopenspaces.com/apparently-moose-dont-like-drones/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822668.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018013719-20171018033719-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.972443 | 196 | 2.8125 | 3 |

To determine whether curricular innovation is effective in achieving our goals, we must design and implement an effective assessment program. What is an effective assessment program? If we have a clear sense of mission, state our student learning outcomes, develop effective teaching methods and curricula, and follow the principles that foster student learning, assessment will become a clear and integral part of legal education. We will find that the focus of student assessment in law school will be on enhancing student performance, providing multiple evaluations of student performance, and giving appropriate feedback to students. In the end, we will know whether our curricular innovation has been successful.

National Geographic Exhibit
From the 7th to 17th centuries, Muslim Civilization stretched from southern Spain to China. Scholars of many faiths built on the ancient knowledge of the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, and others, making breakthroughs that paved the way for the Renaissance.
Named “Best Touring Exhibition of the Year” at the Museums and Heritage Excellence Awards, “1001 Inventions: Discover the Golden Age of Muslim Civilization” uncovers a thousand years of advances in science and technology that have had a huge but hidden impact on the modern world.
Through interactive displays, explore basic science principles in such fields as optics, time-keeping, hydraulics, navigation, architecture, and math.
(description from the National Geographic's website)
Barbara and I enjoyed this exhibit very much. We learned a lot!
The exhibit was divided into the above sections: Home, Market, School, Hospital, Town, and World.

You might try Garrett Mattingly's biography of Katherine from 1942. Though quite old, it is still the standard work.
This comment was from Luv, but accidentally submitted under another post:According to author Karen Lindsey, Queen Katherine was became increasingly ill in December . She wrote Henry VIII to request money to buy Christmas present for her servants.She made out her will ,leaving the few treasure she had left to Mary. On December 29 it became apparent that Queen Katherine was dying. Ambassador Chapuys ask Henry VIII if it was o.k if he visit the sick Queen, and he also request that the king allow Mary to see the queen. Henry agree that Chapuys can see Queen Katherine, but he would have to check with the council about that. When Queen Katherine died she was comfort by Ambassador Chapuy,and her good friend Maria de Salinas,and her ladies in waiting brought comfort to good Queen. Chapuy stay for 3 days. Queen Katherine wrote a letter to Henry VIII pardoned him of all his wrong he had done to her,and requesting that he be a good father to Mary.

VERMILION, Ohio – A steamship that sank 157 years ago has been found on the floor of Lake Erie.
The Great Lakes Historical Society says the General Anthony Wayne was found by an amateur shipwreck prospector in 15 metres of water, about 15 kilometres north of Vermilion, Ohio.
The side-wheel steamship, named in honour of Revolutionary War hero General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, sank in April 1850 after its boilers exploded.
It was on its way from Toledo, Ohio to Buffalo, New York, carrying 93 passengers and crew. Thirty-eight died.
The man who found it and other members of the Cleveland Underwater Explorers plan to survey the wreck later this summer when underwater visibility improves.
The wreck belongs to the state and salvaging it is illegal, but divers will be able to visit it once it's surveyed and the co-ordinates are disclosed. | <urn:uuid:1c21b750-0017-4e78-8ecc-715b812da261> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.thestar.com/news/2007/06/21/1850_shipwreck_found_in_lake_erie.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820556.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017013608-20171017033608-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.96788 | 187 | 2.65625 | 3 |
Hurricane Earl was an atypical, short-lived Category 2 hurricane that caused moderate damage throughout the Southeast United States. It formed out of a poorly organized tropical disturbance over the southwest Gulf of Mexico late on August 31. Tracking towards the northwest, the storm quickly intensified into a hurricane on September 2 and made landfall early the next day near Panama City, Florida. Rapidly tracking towards Atlantic Canada, the extratropical remnants of Earl significantly intensified before passing over Newfoundland on September 6.
Earl is a massive hurricane barraging the east coast of the US was photographed by an astronaut aboard the space station on August 30.
An unmanned aircraft actually flew inside the giant storm. The aircraft carrying 15instruments have been flying above, below and into Earl as part the new Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes mission, or GRIP, which GRIP is designed to help improve our understanding of how hurricanes such as Earl form and intensify rapidly. | <urn:uuid:43a43c63-a886-4a95-b4b7-ea0e0687b164> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://martalexander.blogspot.com/2011/03/space-photos-this-week-hurricane-earl.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822851.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018085500-20171018105500-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.964053 | 192 | 3.21875 | 3 |
Bird's-eye view of the world offers people a fresh perspective of various landmasses, manmade initiatives and more; the Aerial Views Coal Mining photo series focuses on the industrial industry in particular. A source of energy since the 1880s, coal is still a coveted sedimentary rock that companies and governments continue to try to get their hands on.
Shot by Bernhard Lang, a photographer based in Munich, Germany, the Aerial Views Coal Mining photo series not only captures the massive machinery used to extract coal from the ground, it also documents the stunning landscapes that is home to such material. Whether bordered by the ocean or blackened by its natural substance, the series focuses on the biggest Opencast Coal Mining Pit of Germany and one of the largest man-made holes in the world.

IN THE 17TH and 18th centuries religious pilgrimages started to be organised on Slovak territory thanks to several monastic orders. The destinations of these pilgrimages were places associated with legends of appearing saints, of sick persons being miraculously cured, or of curative waters rising out of the earth. Chapels and churches were built to commemorate these sites and each year pilgrims from a wide region headed to the sites. These entourages were colourful and very varied; festively dressed pilgrims sang songs typical for their specific region.
Most of the participants in these pilgrimages simply walked, sometimes as far as several dozen kilometres, with only the ill and the elderly having some means of transport.
This postcard from the 1920s was made by famous photographer Karol Plicka. It shows a pilgrimage to Rajecká Lesná, the former Frivald. Boys in traditional folk costumes are walking – barefoot – from the village of Fačkov, several kilometres away.

The brain changes eating habits by making it hard to evaluate options, select among them, and control the fine motor skills needed to manipulate a serving spoon from dish to plate.
Here are some tips on helping one’s struggle during mealtime.
Serve plates of food to everyone at the table, rather than setting out food so that people can help themselves family-style.
Plate the food for the person with dementia so that it’s already at their place when seated.
Serve the person a plate with food already cut into bite-sized pieces.
Don’t put too much food on the plate; it can seem overwhelming.
Monitor the plate through the meal, so you can offer seconds (or different types of food) as needed; the person may not be able to ask.
Monitor that the person is indeed eating; you may need to remind him or her throughout the meal.
Serve finger foods such as sandwiches if manipulating silverware (getting fork to mouth, say) is becoming difficult.
Let the person eat what he or she wants to first—if he or she shows a preference—even if it’s dessert. | <urn:uuid:6a8824d4-48cd-4cba-8492-712040cdd292> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.helpforalzheimersfamilies.com/learn/quick-tips/nutrition-and-mealtime/your-loved-one-and-their-eating-habits/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820930.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017072323-20171017092323-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.958698 | 241 | 2.875 | 3 |

1.The cold water actually rose a little over time but was pretty steady. The warm water dropped below the cold water so the cold was warmer.
2. The lines went down when it was colder and up when it got warmer. The warm water did a big upside down ark then went steady.
3. The colder one was warmer and the hotter one was colder. Also all the ice melted and the temperatures pretty much stopped moving in the end.
4. The warm water heat went into the cold water and the ice so it melted the ice which took most of the heat and the rest was in the colder water. Then the warm one was left hanging.
5.The water did not go through the heat did. We know because the warm water was dyed red and the cold water didn't have red so there.
6. The heat energy moved into the cold water, the ice cubes in the cold water and the air. That left the cold one warmer, the warmer one colder, the ice cubes gone and the air a little warmer. | <urn:uuid:620e525c-2210-4cc6-8351-973b03224f32> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://paulsolarz.weebly.com/14---chris/transferring-heat-energy-from-warm-to-cold-water | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822513.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017215800-20171017235800-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.976954 | 219 | 3 | 3 |
The department's wide diversity, particularly in terms of flora, allows colorful and beautiful butterflies to fully grow and inhabit large forest spaces on the jungle fringe and part of the lower jungle.
The various tourist excursions offer the chance to observe attractive species of butterflies, especially along the following routes: trail to Kuélap, trail to the Laguna de los Cóndores and all the trails that lead to the Gocta Waterfall. There is no butterfly farm in the region as yet so visitors should look out for the different species found here.
It is well known that in the district of Molinopampa, in the province of Rodríguez de Mendoza, a few hours from Chachapoyas, the zone of orchids is home to thousands of colorful butterflies.
Further away, the Santiago-Comaina reserved zone, in Condorcanqui province, has a wide variety of flora and fauna, with endemic species of up to 474 varieties of butterflies, of which 21 may be entirely new species. | <urn:uuid:a66d716b-ef9e-497b-980a-2ebe4d3911de> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.peru.travel/en-ca/what-to-do/Natural-Peru/wildlife-observation/butterfly-watching/amazon.aspx | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822480.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017181947-20171017201947-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.924392 | 215 | 2.59375 | 3 |
BIM is the process of creating information models or data sets formed of graphical and non-graphical information which are shared between project stakeholders in a digital space known as a common data environment. The BIM acronym itself is actually misleading because BIM is not just about buildings, it includes any kind of built, made or constructed asset, such as infrastructure, power stations, sea defences and many more. BIM isn’t even just about the design/construction stage, it covers the whole lifecycle of a built asset.
MMA are working with the British Precast, and construction products sector more broadly to deliver product data templates which will provide consistently formatted data to consistent definitions. This will enable BIM to be implemented more efficiently and effectively. Standard product data templates, and then generic product data sheets are being worked on.

We have got some great homeschool tools and resources through our new school. Things like paper and pencils we get to keep, other things like books, games and tools we are borrowing on long term loan. One of those things is our first cooperative board game, Ogres and Elves. The instructions for the game are waaaaaay too long and complicated, but once we muddled through it, the game itself is simple enough and we have had fun playing it. I like the idea of cooperative games, it teaches a great lesson. We have another one called Birds of Summer that we haven’t tried out yet.
We also are borrowing a full set of unifix cubes. These babies are fantastic! They really help with showing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in tangible, hands-on ways. There are other fun things you can do with them too: | <urn:uuid:1fb04d96-9c38-4914-99c5-b4b57b8a15ba> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://beautifuldaymama.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/homeschool-tools/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823168.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018233539-20171019013539-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.973956 | 177 | 2.640625 | 3 |

African Americans in Chicago, Chapter 9
It is interesting that it took a World War to ignite black rights in the north. With the loss of Anglo-Americans to the war front and the decline of immigrants to America, African Americans enjoyed job opportunities. The Great Migration consisted of southern blacks moving north for racial equality and higher wages. So many African Americans flooded the “Black Belt” that they had become influential in many areas of life. Jazz music preformed by predominately black music players allowed for interracial conversing. Politically African Americans held a large percentage of the mayoral vote, influencing the electing of blacks to offices. A race riot in 1919 symbolized the power African Americans had gained by flocking to Chicago. Finally blacks had defended themselves against white racists and were not ignored. In Chicago African Americans had enjoyed many more privileges than they had in the south such as schooling, voting rights, job opportunities, and entertainment. | <urn:uuid:8e9037db-f593-464a-a8c6-494ae1372898> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://newadventuresindigitalhistory.blogspot.com/2009/03/african-americans-in-chicago-chapter-9.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823282.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019103222-20171019123222-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.980524 | 194 | 4.1875 | 4 |
Dr. Eric Barchas | Jun 28th 2009
From the “It must be true . . . I read it in the tabloids” section of the July 3 – 10, 2009 issue of The Week.
Two baby flamingos at . . . London Zoo have developed a phobia of the color pink. The month-old chicks, named Little and Large, both have the pale gray plumage flamingos are born with. In an attempt to feed them, zookeepers used a pink sock-puppet of an adult flamingo, but it only terrified the chicks. Their resulting phobia of anything pink has worrying implications for their future mental health. “We’ll just have to hope they get used to the color,” said keeper Alison Brown.

Effect means are least-squares estimates predicted by the model for each combination of levels in a categorical term, adjusted for the other model effects.
Least-squares means are predictions made at specific values of the predictors. For each categorical variable in the term, the value is the combination of levels. For all other variables that are not part of the term, the values are neutral values. The neutral value for a quantitative variable is the mean. The neutral value of a nominal variable is the average over all levels which is equivalent to values of 0 for each dummy predictor variable in an effect coding scheme. The neutral value of
an ordinal variable is the reference level. | <urn:uuid:1fef6a9d-3e56-4f17-a78e-4cbc7a86bd7c> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://analyse-it.com/docs/user-guide/fitmodel/linear/effectmeans | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826210.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023164236-20171023184236-00250.warc.gz | en | 0.842029 | 139 | 3.109375 | 3 |

An external combustion engine. Also known as a Hot Air Engine. The Stirling engine was invented in 1816 by a Scotch clergyman, Robert Stirling, as a competing technology to the steam engine. Stirling engines work by subsequently heating and cooling a gas inside a closed volume. As the gas is heated it expands and as it is cooled it contracts. This expansion and contraction works forces a working piston which in turn drives a crankshaft. A Stirling cycle has two pistons: one that drives the crankshaft known as the power piston and one that moves the gas between the hot and cold ends of a cylinder known as the displacer piston. | <urn:uuid:11934486-c03e-4b48-8f5a-c7dd2da1f293> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.glue-it.com/model-engineering/general-information/glossary/s/stirling%20engine.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822480.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017181947-20171017201947-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.975961 | 187 | 3.6875 | 4 |
Kristallnachtthe Night of Broken Glass, was a pogrom organized by the Nazis which took place in Germany and Austria in 1938. Hundreds of synagogues were burned and thousands of Jewish shop windows were broken. "Kristallnacht" refers to the broken glass from the shop windows.
On October 29, 1938 the German police began driving 20,000 Polish citizens into the no-man's land between Poland and Germany near the Polish town of Zbaszyn. On November 7, 1938, in Paris Herschel Grynszpan, a Jewish youth whose parents were among the expelled, shot Ernst vom Rath, a German diplomat.
The Nazis used this as a pretext for a pogrom against the Jews. On November 9 and 10, in all parts of Germany and in parts of Austria, Nazi storm troopers set fire to hundreds of synagogues and destroyed thousands of Jewish businesses. Around 100 Jews were murdered and 30,000 Jewish men were put into concentration camps. The Jews were fined 1,000,000,0000 marks to pay for the damage that was done to them, not by them.

A sustainable future is not just an aspiration. Around the world One Planet Living is becoming a reality as communities, companies and regions change the way they work to meet the challenges of resource depletion and climate change. One Planet Living is a vision of a sustainable world, in which people everywhere can enjoy a high quality of life within the productive capacity of the planet.
In October 2013 Kevin McCloud of HAB Housing and Pooran Desai of BioRegional International presented WestWyck Ecovillage with a certificate acknowledging WestWyck as Australia's first endorsed One Planet Living Project.
One Planet uses the following ten principles of sustainability as a framework. The WestWyck Eco-Village targets for 2020 against these principles are outlined in the WestWyck One Planet Action Plan. | <urn:uuid:658cf0ee-8be1-49dd-b891-1153040b918f> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://westwyck.com/about_one_planet.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822851.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018085500-20171018105500-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.902118 | 161 | 2.65625 | 3 |
WASHINGTON -- The federal government started the 2013 budget year with a $120 billion deficit, an indication that the nation is on a path to another $1 trillion-plus deficit.
The Treasury Department says the October deficit was 22 percent higher than the same month last year. Officials said last year's October deficit was lower than expected because of calendar quirk that allowed some benefits to be paid in September 2011.
The budget year begins on Oct. 1.
The government has run deficits in excess of $1 trillion in each of the last four years. President Barack Obama and Congress are under pressure to come up with a plan to curb the deficit while also reaching a budget deal to prevent tax increases and deep spending cuts from kicking in Jan. 1. | <urn:uuid:8feb3029-fe3d-446d-a507-baf9baadb260> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/US-Government-Runs-120-Billion-October-Deficit-179158821.html?site=mobile | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823255.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019065335-20171019085335-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.966569 | 150 | 2.59375 | 3 |
Almost two years after the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, an agreement has now been found to prevent an airplane ever disappearing again from radar screens.
The UN has decided to allocate radio frequency spectra for the monitoring of civil aircraft flights. Satellites will receive the signals transmitted from aircraft and retransmit their exact positions every fifteen minutes, or every minute, in cases of distress operations. For the President and CEO of the company that developed this monitoring system, this could come into force within the coming months.
Don Thoma, President & CEO of Aireon: watch the interview in the video.
This is a major advance, since today, such monitoring is impossible. Aircraft in flight are located by ground-based radars unable to cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface that is water, plus vast areas of deserts and mountainous areas, simply because radars do not exist in those areas.
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has now to put this system into place. Its financial cost will have to be borne by the airlines, but the benefit will be that no other civil airplanes will ever disappear from radar screens again. | <urn:uuid:c3938dca-958e-420d-9896-443a310bb111> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.aeronewstv.com/en/print/article/3034-satellite-tracking-of-civil-aircraft-soon-in-place.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826049.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023130351-20171023150351-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.958051 | 237 | 2.78125 | 3 |
Year 5 visited the University of Sheffield today to work with the university’s Women in Engineering group. First we had a go at a virtual-reality game based on a book by Women in Engineering and the university.
Afterward, we headed over to the university’s Diamond building to learn more about Engineering and explore the labs. Some of us even saw engineers at work!
In the Diamond building, we sat in a lecture hall, which had projectors and whiteboards just like our classrooms!
We also got to use our knowledge of the solar system to try to figure out how big each of the planets is relative to the Sun. Can you tell which fruit represents Jupiter?
When our session overran, there were students waiting outside for their chemistry class. One day, that could be us!

Solutions for Healthy Roots
Through signals transmitted by calcium and certain proteins, roots control the nutritional and hormonal balance of the whole plant. Root caps, which are replaced every seven to 14 days, direct the plant’s production of hormones and the absorption of water and nutrients. As root hairs absorb nutrients from the soil, they can deplete the nutrient supply if a consistent supply of soil moisture needed to solubilize and transport nutrients to the root hairs is present.
It is just as important for a plant to maintain a healthy hormone balance to keep continuous root tip growth as it is for the plant to have nutrients available in the soil. | <urn:uuid:bc138cb8-74c9-4159-9c7c-dd642c6b5ce7> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://keylate.com/grower-needs/root-growth | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820556.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017013608-20171017033608-00011.warc.gz | en | 0.92683 | 130 | 2.875 | 3 |

Piezo switches and piezo buttons are special forms of pushbutton switches and pushbuttons. When pushed down manually a voltage is produced on the piezo principle; this voltage causes completion of a circuit. The switch status of most switches is shown by an LED indicator lamp. There are however also variants where when the switch is activated the operating surface sinks slightly into the surroundings, so that the switch status can be detected by feel. Piezo switches are available in various forms and colours. They are mostly made of aluminium or stainless steel. Since they contain no moveable mechanical parts, they are particularly tough with a long working life. Piezo switches and piezo buttons are therefore used in areas where damage by vandalism may occur, or where they are exposed to aggressive environmental effects. They are used for instance as controls in heavy industry, on public transport or on ships. | <urn:uuid:bf5a5735-c408-46c9-8716-4d8f61428152> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.buerklin.com/en/piezo-switches-and-piezo-buttons/c/000917 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824537.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021005202-20171021025202-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.95035 | 173 | 3.015625 | 3 |
It is a commonly held belief that SUVs are safer than cars. If an SUV and car are in a collision, does the SUV sustain less damage (as suggested by the cost of repair)? The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crashed SUVs into cars. The SUV was moving 10 miles per hour and the front of the SUV crashed into the rear of the car.
(a) Why are these matched-pairs data?
(b) Draw a boxplot of the differenced data. Does the visual evidence support the belief that SUVs have a lower repair cost?
(c) Do the data suggest the repair cost for the car is higher?

Where the Word “Tetris” Comes From
The name “tetris” derives from the Greek prefix “tetra-” (because the game pieces are all tetrominoes) and the latter “-is” is from “tennis”, which is the primary creator of Tetris’, Alexey Leonidovich Pajitnov, favorite sport. Tetrominoes are four element polyominoes. Polyominoes are known to have been used in puzzle games for at least 90 years (and most likely much further back than that) at the time Pajitnov developed Tetris at the Dorodnicyn Computing Center, which was a part of a Soviet government funded research center in Moscow, called the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

HERE is something we could do without: a flu pandemic on the scale of the one in 1918, which killed over 50 million people.
Gene sequences like those of the pandemic have been found in flu viruses from wild birds. Yoshi Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and colleagues have now assembled them into a 1918-like flu.
Unlike the real virus, the lab-grown strain didn’t kill, nor did it spread between ferrets. But Kawaoka found that giving it a few mutations enabled it to spread just as well as 1918 flu (Cell Host & Microbe, DOI: 10.1016/j.chom.2014.05.006).
“Viruses with genes closely related to the 1918 virus still circulate in nature,” says co-author Colin Russell of the University of Cambridge. That suggests a similar virus could emerge.
In 2011, Kawaoka made an H5N1 bird flu that transmits between mammals. Fears about such viruses escaping led to rules controlling this kind of research, but they do not apply to flu in the 1918 virus’s family.

It has played a key role in shaping and developing the U.S. economy throughout the history of the nation, especially after the start of the Industrial Revolution in the late 1700’s.
Simply defined, manufacturing is the process of transforming raw materials into new products, using mechanical, physical or chemical means. Without manufacturing, we wouldn’t have the tools and technologies needed to be productive in the other sectors of our economy, nor would we have the various goods that consumers use every day.
For example, let’s say that it’s a beautiful Sunday morning, and you have plans to play a round of golf with a friend. In order for that to be possible, a manufacturer needed to forge the club shaft and cut it to the proper length. A separate company, specializing in rubber compounds, would need to create the grip. Someone else would produce the club heads, which rely heavily on manufacturing and design advantages to increase performance. Finally, a technically skilled workforce needs to put it all together.

Jon Fosse’s Melancholy becomes a much more interesting novel when the reader knows that the main character, Lars Hertervig, actually existed. In fact, Hertervig is considered one of Norway’s leading painters. This book is Fosse’s homage to him.
In 1996 one of Hertervig’s paintings, “Fjord Landscape,” was sold at auction for 3.2 million kroner (equivalent to approximately half a million dollars) and set a record for a Norwegian painting.
Hertervig was born in Hattarvågen on the western coast of Norway, north of Stavanger, in 1830. He came from a family of Quaker farmers. Life for the Quakers at that time was difficult because their beliefs were frequently in conflict with Lutheranism, the state religion. | <urn:uuid:98a35d7f-52fc-4218-966f-e10cd3d46c62> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/jon-fosses-melancholy-is-reviewed-at-norwegian-american-weekly/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823482.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019231858-20171020011858-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.979393 | 185 | 2.671875 | 3 |
The first conditional is used for conditions that are POSSIBLE or PROBABLE to come true.
The conditional verb is the present verb form and consequence verb is normally the will future.
The second conditional is used for things that are not true now and also probably won’t be in the future.
The conditional verb in the 2nd
verb form and consequence verb is the “would, could, should, might, infinitive form.…

It is found that losing at least a little bit of weight before having weight-loss surgery can reduce the risk of having surgical complications. Medical records of 881 patients who had weight-loss surgery show that the more weight patients lost before surgery, the less likely they suffered from post-operation complications, such as infection, blood clots, and kidney problems. The post-surgery complication rate was almost twice as much in patients who gained weight before surgery than patients who lost weight before surgery.
All of the patients had open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery where staples are used to create a pouch in the stomach that can hold only a small amount of food at a time. A part of the small intestine is attached to the pouch so that food bypasses the rest of the stomach and part of the small intestine. Some of the surgeons who perform weight-loss surgery mandate that certain high-risk patients lose weight before having the surgery. | <urn:uuid:8fe17bbe-0900-4d13-9463-48340cf4af3b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://healthvoice.blogspot.com/2010/01/lose-weight-before-weight-loss-surgery.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824537.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021005202-20171021025202-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.972277 | 192 | 3.0625 | 3 |
The term ‘Finance’ can be defined as the science of managing money. There are three different categories that finance can be divided into; personal finance, public finance, and corporate finance.
Finance includes all the ways in which organizations and individuals address the raising of and the allocating of, monetary resources. Monetary resources that will be used for current and future projects, while taking into account the possibility of the risks entailed by these projects.
In the Financial field, you will deal with Investments, Assets, and Liabilities. Allocating money towards an expected benefit somewhere in the future is called, Investment. An economic resource is called an Asset. The expectancy of a future sacrifice you feel obliged to make towards an economic benefit is called a liability.
Even though there are many subjects teaching you Financial Know-how, after the fact, the subject of Personal Financial Management is not taught at school. However, learning about financial savvy is very important. Learning how to manage the spending and investing of money can have an enormous impact on your finances and also on your life.
Learning the ins and outs of finance might take awhile but the basics are quite simple and will never change. | <urn:uuid:7888e8a5-e693-499f-9952-d3188c05e0ae> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.skylight-circus-arts.org.uk/about/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820927.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017052945-20171017072945-00571.warc.gz | en | 0.958846 | 240 | 3.640625 | 4 |
They were not imagining it: two young bull elephants had entered the park from the contiguous Songimvelo Game Reserve on the South African side.
In 1992, hikers rounding a bend in Malolotja’s Nakomati Valley were surprised – and not a little alarmed – to find large steaming mounds of dung splattered across the trail. Stopping in their tracks, they soon heard the unmistakable crunch of feeding pachyderms from the forest ahead. They were not imagining it: two young bull elephants had entered the park from the contiguous Songimvelo Game Reserve on the South African side. These visitors found the lush riverine thickets along the Nkomati and lower Malolotja valleys so much to their liking that they took up residence, remaining in the area for at least ten years. Although they had an inevitable impact on the vegetation, they never showed any sign of aggression to people – and indeed generally showed little of themselves beyond tracks and droppings. The wandering duo has not been seen since 2008, and it is presumed they packed their trunks and returned to Songimvelo. | <urn:uuid:187c7739-2761-44b7-8aa0-c28dee3d8ebf> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.bradtguides.com/articles/wandering-jumbos | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820466.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20171016214209-20171016234209-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.977116 | 230 | 2.625 | 3 |
