Mail merge prints blank letters or starts printing at the bottom of a previous letter
There are a number of break commands (page, column, section) in Microsoft Word that can cause a document to skip to a new page or create a space between the end of one merge document and the beginning of the next. These are examples of formatting options in Word. Formatting marks are by default hidden in Word. To be able to remove the breaks or any other formatting that is causing an issue, first turn on the option to Show formatting marks:
1. Edit the merge document. 2. From the Word menu bar, select Tools, click Options, and then click the View tab. 3. Under Formatting marks, select the All check box instead. NOTE: This will show all formatting marks including spaces and carriage returns. 4. Look for the breaks. They are listed by their name (i.e. page break, section break, etc.) and will look something like this:
Once you identify the break, highlight the entire break (surrounding characters included) and delete it. 5. Follow the above steps to discontinue viewing all formatting marks 6. Click Save and Return to RE7 7. Complete the remaining steps in the Word merge wizard. | <urn:uuid:c6ddb8e2-f3a3-4dd6-a11a-80ebe98089aa> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://kb.blackbaud.com/articles/Article/39042 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822747.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018051631-20171018071631-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.813915 | 254 | 3.3125 | 3 |

The aims of homework in the school are:
- to help pupils to work, think and learn independently;
- to provide feedback on pupils’ understanding;
- to allow practice of skills learned in the classroom;
- to develop self-discipline including the management of time;
- to involve parents (and other adults) in pupils’ work.
While homework is not meant to be a burden on pupils, its completion is an important part of school work and should therefore be taken seriously by all those involved. As such, the school expects written homeworks to be neat, to be done to the best of the pupil’s ability and to be handed in on time. Parents and pupils should understand, however, that homework is not always of the written type and may involve other activities eg reading, learning, watching a TV programme, drawing or research involving computers. Pupils are expected to record their work, in their homework diary and this is regularly checked by Class Tutors. | <urn:uuid:fb16af49-fcb8-458d-989b-eef61133546f> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.thehighschoolballynahinch.co.uk/index.php/curriculum/homework | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822930.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018104813-20171018124813-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.980183 | 204 | 3.609375 | 4 |
The medial, or inside, of the knee is the source of the most frequent knee ligament injury. While commonly referred to as the “MCL”, the medial side of the knee is actually composed of several important structures, with several components, which must be assessed to determine the best way to get back to proper functioning. These components include the superficial medial collateral ligament, the deep medial collateral ligament and the posterior oblique ligament. The proximal division of the superficial medial collateral ligament is important to valgus stability, while the distal division of the superficial medial collateral ligament is important for external rotation stability. Thus, performing a thorough assessment by palpation of the zone of injury and assessing the amount of both valgus and rotational stability is important to determine the prognosis for a medial knee injury. | <urn:uuid:5c827a5c-cc6d-461c-a054-91c624a97dc4> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://drrobertlaprademd.com/medial-knee-instability/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824675.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021081004-20171021101004-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.919464 | 170 | 2.59375 | 3 |

Full use of renewable Radezolid is an effective solution for the energy crisis and push for environmental protection at present. Wind power is one of the most potential and popular renewable resources . By 2050, wind energy will be technically feasible to possess the largest share in energy systems and the installed capacities would range from 18 TW to 24 TW . Wind power generation has greatly promoted the development of the wind energy industry. At present, uncertainty of wind resources is the major challenge of integrating wind power into electric systems. It is highly important to study and develop high-precision wind speed and power forecasting methods. Wind speed prediction is especially primary and critical , and . Currently, wind prediction models, according to different modeling methods, are usually divided into physical models, statistical models, artificial intelligence, and hybrid models , and . | <urn:uuid:ae99bbd2-81cb-48d5-85c8-205ea615c422> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://wallinside.com/post-500157-table-nbsp-calculation-of-daily-averages-full-size-table.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825227.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022113105-20171022133105-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.910106 | 198 | 2.84375 | 3 |

The definition of Folk as stated here, follows Pete Seeger, I think. He was the one to "modernize" the genre. Many of the varieties of folk music differs greatly from this, and "three chords" are not close to cover the tonal patterns in certain branches of it - with melodies and modes being so old that the chord patterns doesn`t fit, or exist at all. Maybe we should have a topic on "traditional music", or maybe every nation should be able to describe their own traditions.

This is a description and brief history of Anglo-American folk music, from which the modern version of folk as a popular music genre emerged. The first paragraph acknowledges that the music itself can follow a wide variety of patterns. While it would be great to describe all forms and traditions of folk, we'd probably be best off making new articles for them, since this trope description is long enough already. E.g. if someone wants to make an article on folk pop in the Balkans, that might be a good idea, since the paragraph on it in the trope description feels rather shoehorned. | <urn:uuid:e0763c1a-5eae-42cd-83dc-cde967fa596f> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/remarks.php?trope=Main.FolkMusic | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826114.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023145244-20171023165244-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.95392 | 247 | 2.6875 | 3 |

More Bridge Building
Stage: 5 Challenge Level:
Newton, from Macquerie Fields primary
school thinks that the bridges of even length will be the most
stable and not feel any forces at the joints. Is he right? Can you
use vectors and mechanics to help?
Fygliwu presents a very intuitive
A bridge of even length should be less stable due to the fact
that it has a central point which bears a load. On a bridge of
uneven length this load is shared between a set of three points,
the two in the middle on the bottom and the one in the middle on
the top. This therefore means that the load of an uneven bridge is
spread out and therefore dissapated whilst the load of an uneven
bridge in focused on a single joint.

During our year together we will study a variety of book genres, grammar rules, and vocabulary, focusing on themes, motifs, and symbols in literature. Students will also explore what makes a successful reader/writer through work with the three text types: narrative, expository, and argument. In addition to the 7th grade blog, students are part of our class’ Google Classroom online learning platform. This is where they can find information and resources on what we are doing in class and where they will turn in writing assignments.
Check back periodically to see current examples of student work or scroll down to find links for suggestions on independent reading. You can also look below to see what Mr. Des Marais is reading right now!

Potential energy is energy stored inside an object. An example of potential energy is a loaf of bread because the energy in the bread isn't moving inside it. Kinetic energy is moving energy. An example of kinetic energy is a running person because it is using energy that is moving while he is running.
Energy has many forms. Some forms of energy are mechanical, heat, sound and chemical energy.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another form. For example, in a laptop electric energy from the plug converts into sound and light energy when the laptop turns on.
In order to understand ourselves better, we need to understand what our body is made of, which is energy. With the knowledge of understanding energy we could invent new things because everything is made of energy. We could predict what is going to happen with the earth. These things couldn't be done without understanding energy. | <urn:uuid:b3203672-9a8b-4fea-8476-6c8496a3e544> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://mateopscip3.blogspot.com/2015/09/potential-and-kinetic-energy.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826283.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023183146-20171023203146-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.964505 | 187 | 3.515625 | 4 |
Outcrops like these are what people often think of as fossil localities (credit: Lauren Milideo)
Where do people find fossils?
It happens often. Ask any museum curator, and she can tell you countless stories of people coming to the museum with items they found in the backyard or in the garden. People find teeth, and sometimes bones, on the beach or in a stream bed. Sometimes, construction workers or fishermen turn up a huge bone or a tooth during the course of their work. Here is a very brief overview of somethings you can do if you find a nonhuman vertebrate fossil or bone (i.e. the remains of an animal that had a backbone – like a | <urn:uuid:8129f597-ad29-425f-89f0-d574b8b30a26> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://laurenwritesscience.wordpress.com/category/even-if-youre-not-a-scientist/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824819.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021133807-20171021153807-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.961468 | 143 | 2.53125 | 3 |
This storyboard does not have a description.
George would have been better off without you.
Lennie's guilt starts to get to him and begins to imagine his aunt Clara who tells him that George would have a better life without him because Lennie only causes him trouble.
Once he is done imagining Clara he begins to imagine a giant rabbit that tells him that he will never tend the rabbits because he can't even take care of himself.
He'll Never let you tend the rabbits because you can't even take care of yourself.
As soon as George finds Lennie, Lennie asks George to talk about their dream while he imagines it. While Lennie imagines the farm George struggles with pulling the trigger on his best friend.

Recent weeks brought one interesting development in security standards. Earlier this year, MITRE announced a Common Malware Enumeration standard(CME). It is somewhat analogous to CVE for vulnerability names.
Despite the painful problems with amazing multitude of virus and worm names, CME initially didn't enjoy wide recognition. However, the recent worm outbreak brought it to light and the name CME-24 was used in some press and advisories instead of Kapser, Nyxem, KillAV, Tearec, W32.Blackmail and other names for the same piece of malware used by the antivirus vendors.
You can get more info on CME at http://cme.mitre.org/data/list.html
This is a significant development which will increase the importance of standards in information security. The worm itself will likely end up being a non-event, but the fact that many sources referred to it as"CME-24" sure has long term consequences. | <urn:uuid:96e13e8e-d0a4-4262-ae6c-098deb45449d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://chuvakin.blogspot.com/2006/02/cme-24-rampage.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824675.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021081004-20171021101004-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.923842 | 202 | 2.640625 | 3 |
XSLT 1.0 Tutorial
For a flurry of SEO tips, tricks, articles and advice - visit HP Group

The tutorial is based on the W3C recommendations XSL Transformations (XSLT)Version 1.0
and XML Path Language (XPath) 1.0
XSLT is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents. Prepared by:
XSLT is designed for use as part of XSL, which is a stylesheet language for XML. In addition to XSLT, XSL includes an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting. XSL specifies the styling of an XML document by using XSLT to describe how the document is transformed into another XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary.
XSLT is also designed to be used independently of XSL. However, XSLT is not intended as a completely general-purpose XML transformation language. Rather it is designed primarily for the kinds of transformations that are needed when XSLT is used as part of XSL.

This is a great opportunity for students to practice what they learned regarding the scientific method. There are three different scenarios in which students read and then have to figure out the variables and either identify or write a question, hypothesis, and procedure based on each scenario. These scenarios can be given as warm-ups, collaborative class-work, or homework. They serve as great tools for students to apply their learning. In addition to the scenarios, there is also a fun and engaging penny lab where students have to actually carry-out the scientific method in order to figure out how many drops of water the surface of a penny can hold.

Limu is the term used by Hawaiians for algae while Japanese call it Ogo. As many people know, algae or seaweed is a popular sea plant included in various Hawaiian dishes. Though there are places where limu is difficult to be gathered due to pollution and other elements, there are still those who grow these in alternative areas.
Among the Polynesians, the Hawaiians are considered to be unique when it comes to the regular use of seaweed. Traditionally, they take it as the third ingredient needed to achieve a nutritionally balanced diet along with poi and fish. Aside from added garnishing purpose, adding limu also contributes to the significant amounts of minerals and vitamins.

NEC developed a technology to increase the distance per charge of a lithium-ion battery by 30%. Currently, the maximum distance of a lithium-ion battery is 200 km, and NEC successfully increased the distance to 260 km. The company plans to put the new technology into practical use in less than two years.
Increasing a storage capacity of a lithium-ion battery by increasing power voltage generates gases inside the battery and shortens its life. NEC successfully developed a new electrode material and new electrolyte, each of which does not allow gases to generate easily even in high power voltage. The new technology can increase a storage capacity without using such rare materials as cobalt for the electrode. Accordingly, the life and production cost of the new lithium-ion battery are the same as the lithium-ion battery loaded onto Nissan’s Leaf.

Granular corneal dystrophy is an eye condition affecting about one in a thousand people with no current cure. Early diagnosis can help with prevention and warn patients when not to have LASIK and other corneal surgeries, resulting in protein formations in the eye and vision loss. Avellino Lab's proprietary and patented DNA sequencing test detects an individual's risk for this genetic condition. Avellino is also working on tests for other rare ophthalmic diseases which can lead to vision loss.
Avellino Labs provides eye care professionals a rapid and inexpensive screening test to further ensure patients cleared for refractive surgery are good candidates. We test for multiple single point gene mutations associated with the most common types of corneal dystrophy, a condition that may not effect vision until triggered by refractive surgery. | <urn:uuid:308f081b-4140-4397-8c0d-5a995a0ee288> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://craft.co/avellino-labs | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822992.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018142658-20171018162658-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.913442 | 166 | 2.53125 | 3 |
The following animal is my try on a reconstruction of Hallucigenia. This soft-bodied, worm like and extinct genus of animals caused many palaeontologists a proper headache.
It was found as fossils in the Middle Cambrian-aged Burgess Shale formation of British Columbia, Canada. That means that it walked on it's tiny clawed tentacles 522 to 505 Million years ago. Scientists can't be sure today which end is which and where was the head. There are many different reconstructions on the web and I think it's never enough. For the head I was highly inspired by the tiny water-bear(Tardigrada) which has a similar body structure just a little more cuddly. :)
The creature had a lifesize of 5 to 30 millimetres in the length.
In my scenery Hallucigenia climbs on a Venus' Flower Basket (Euplectella aspergillum). | <urn:uuid:92bfb0e4-bf37-47e2-aa3e-594324f4bc4b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://dirkwachsmuth.blogspot.com/2014/04/hallucigenia.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826840.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023221059-20171024001059-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.972679 | 192 | 2.609375 | 3 |
Anti-Jesuit Broadsheet (2nd Half of the 16th Century)
This broadsheet explores a common theme in anti-Jesuit polemics. It depicts a Jesuit who has disguised himself as a devil in order to convert a Protestant maid. His attempt fails, however, and he is stabbed to death. According to the text, this event occurred in Augsburg in 1569. The Jesuits (actually Societas Jesu) were a Catholic order founded in 1534 by Ignatius of Loyola. Members of this order not only took vows of poverty, abstinence, and obedience, they also took a special “papal vow,” which identified them as particularly loyal to the Pope. Aside from missionary work, the Jesuits devoted themselves to education, and Jesuit schools and universities exist to this day. During the Counterreformation, they were actively involved in reconverting Protestant communities to Catholicism. They enjoyed particular success in Poland. Woodcut, German, 2nd half of the 16th century.

Setting clear classroom expectations is one of the best ways to start off the school year on the right foot. When students feel like they have an active role in determining these expectations, it creates a sense of ownership and responsibility for them. This is a classroom activity to brainstorm expectations, not a syllabus or detailed list of rules/expectations.
This particular PPT was created for a science classroom, but can easily be modified for any class.
1) PPT that walks students through basic principles of what they can expect from the teacher, and also what the teacher expects of them. The PPT also guides students through a brainstorming process to come up with their own lists.
2) A simple word document that can be printed for students to both brainstorm their own ideas, and also copy down a "class list" of expectations.

1. Check for responsiveness. Shake or tap the child gently. See if the child moves or makes a noise. Shout, "Are you OK?"
2. If there is no response, shout for help. Send someone to call 911. Do not leave the child yourself to call 911 until you have given about one minute of CPR.
3. Carefully place the child on his or her back. If there is a chance the child has a spinal injury, two people are needed to move the child without twisting the head and neck.
4. Open the airway. Lift up the chin with one hand. At the same time, push down on the forehead with the other hand.
5. Look, listen, and feel for breathing. Place your ear close to the child?s mouth and nose. Watch for chest movement.

Interesting Food Facts about Cheese Fondue
- The melted cheese dish known as fondue is Swiss in origin.
- Cow herders, who had long winters with few provisions, invented the dish.
- Other nationalities have similar recipes involving things like creamy eggs.
- The way the Swiss dish obtained a French name is a mystery, though there is a powerful influence of French language speakers in Switzerland even today.
- The Swiss nobles liked the dish so much that they adapted it from its humble beginnings to make it a dish of the nobility.
Fondue became popular in the U.S. during the mid-1960s after American tourists discovered it in Switzerland.
Over 100 varieties of cheese fondue exist, each with a unique name and different blend of cheeses, wine and seasoning.

Now reissued with a new introduction, Discovering Islam is a classic account of how the history of Islam and its relations with the West have shaped Islamic society today. Islam is often caricatured as aggressive and fanatic. Written in the tradition of Ibn Khaldun, this readable and wide-ranging book balances that image, uncovers the roots of Islamic discontent and celebrates the sources of its strength. From the four "ideal Caliphs" who succeeded the Prophet to the refugee camps of Peshawar, an objective picture emerges of the main features of Muslim history and the compulsions of Muslim society.
Instructive, entertaining and even stimulating. - Middle East International
Through an exploration of his experiences as a Muslim and his personal search for understanding, (Akbar Ahmed) sets before us the kindlier face of Islam and the dynamics of its history. - History Today

In my never-ending quest to try peer assessment and critique ideas, I decided to trial ‘What’s Missing’. The aim is for my GCSE pupils to work on developing model answers through improving their peers’ exam question answers.
A rather simple idea, where pupils answer an exam question and leave 5/6 lines between each paragraph so that their partner can add improvements to effectively level up the paragraph. Another way is to answer question on A4 paper and cut it out and stick into books to improve.
This has been beneficial to many of my students as it pushes them to re-read their notes and find ways to improve an answer, regardless whether it has achieved a U or A*.

In many cases we can manage with a suitable
fixed voltage regulator such as 5v or 12v, but occasionally we
need a non-standard voltage. In these circumstances the LM317
range of regulators proves to be very useful.
The output voltage is selected using two
resistors. Normally R1 is chosen to be around 220R or 240R. The
formula for calculating the value of R2 is V = 1.25(1+(R2/R1))
or to put it another way R2 = R1((V/1.25)-1).
For example, for an output voltage of 8.5v.
R2 = 220((8.5/1.25)-1) = 1276 ohms. The nearest preferred
value to this would be 1K3.
Setting R2 to zero, ie. grounding the Adjust
pin, will cause the output voltage to drop to 1.25v.
R2 may be replaced by a pot to give an
adjustable output voltage range. The maximum voltage is approx.
37v although a higher voltage variant is available. | <urn:uuid:4472dcd4-5430-44b1-b5ab-76092f7b0e9b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.circuit-innovations.co.uk/LM317.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824899.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021205648-20171021225648-00852.warc.gz | en | 0.870613 | 234 | 3.125 | 3 |
To make sense of the many different projects we uncovered, we found this typology to be particularly useful:
“While there are dozens of Web sites and projects dedicated to the “citizen science” movement, they tend to fall under one of three categories.
* The first are computer programs that run on idle computers. These programs use the extra computing power for folding protein structures, looking for extraterrestrial life and everything in between.
* The second type involves a bit more work on the volunteers part, asking them to map, photograph or identify geographical areas they know well.
* And, the third and most diverse category is the ‘field reporter’ category, where volunteers are encouraged to observe birds, insects or plants in their neighborhoods or backyards and contribute data to larger tracking projects.”

The sample means will perhaps be greater or less than µ, but the average of all possible X will be µ -- X is an unbiased estimation of µ.
Order the data from smallest to largest. If there is an odd number of data, then the median is simply the middle value (position (n+1)/2); if there is an even number of data, then it is the average of the two middle values (position n/2 and (n/2)+1.
Quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3)
If the data is ordered from smallest to largest, then as the median has 50% of the data below and it 50% of the data above it, Q1 (the first quartile) has 25% of the data at or below it and Q3 (the third quartile) has 25% of the data at or above it. For an odd n, then Q1 is at the position ( n + 3 ) / 4 and for an even n, then Q1 is at the position ( n + 2 ) / 4 and Q3 is intuitively at that same position from the largest number (this can be computed as n minus the position of Q1). | <urn:uuid:8f6d4635-307e-486d-8d77-4a6b54b5ecbd> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://studentreader.com/7S9G8/statistics-location/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822668.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018013719-20171018033719-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.939312 | 249 | 3.25 | 3 |
Many of my students, past and present, have asked me how to go about recreating a vector hair brush in Illustrator for their face drawing ..
As an introductory project to Adobe Illustrator, students were asked to render a representational vector portrait/avatar of their own faces and add an accompanied colour harmony rule to express their personality or expression in the photo.
To do this, students were restricted to using the pen tool, along with basic shapes and solid colour.
The learning outcomes of this assignment included efficient use of layers to organize their drawing, and the mastering of the pen tool – which is probably the single most useful tool for vector drawings available to a graphic designer. As well, students learned how to accurately identify tonal values, colour and shape configurations in this type of representational drawing. | <urn:uuid:5e00c7b5-c8a9-41bd-95eb-6c29777f6cea> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://mark-anthony.ca/tag/vector-portraits/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823067.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018180631-20171018200631-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.966618 | 163 | 2.90625 | 3 |
(Chapter 19, page 122: ...in the novel Iceland’s Bell... *)
Iceland's Bell is a historical novel by Nobel prize-winning author Halldór Laxness. The novel tells the story of Jón Hreggviðsson and his battle with the Danish authorities in the 18th Century. Hreggviðsson, the pitch-black haired convict, concise in speech in the tradition of the ancient sagas, is sentenced to death for the murder of the king’s executioner. Iceland was an oppressed Danish colony, suffering under extreme poverty, famines, and plagues.

My latest at Real Clear Politics.
Here’s an overview
It’s a minor holiday, but it celebrates something epochal, beyond the success of one brave explorer. His voyage of discovery–and those of others who quickly followed–forever changed the world: they opened the Americas, North and South, to a permanent connection with Europe.
That has continued unabated for over 500 years and led to momentous achievements, from mass democracy to mass prosperity.
Those who attack and deface his statues say, rightly, that tragedy also followed the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
- Native populations were ravaged by diseases for which they had no immunities.
- Millions of slaves were brought across the Atlantic to dig the mines and harvest the sugar, tobacco, and cotton.
We can face those terrible truths and still celebrate the achievements begun by Columbus. The European voyages of discovery forged a trans-Atlantic world. It is a world in which America and its European partners have created unprecedented levels of human freedom, material comfort, and longevity. That’s a legacy worth remembering—and reclaiming. | <urn:uuid:3e50a550-9dc4-43de-941d-4874b44f5e1c> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.zipdialog.com/category/media-outlets/real-clear-politics/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823462.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019194011-20171019214011-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.942612 | 235 | 3.5625 | 4 |

Southwest Research Institute engineer Scott Weidner begins a presentation on the New Horizons space flight to Pluto and his role with the mission at the Scobee Learning Center at San Antonio College on Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Weidner was responsible for the Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrumentation on board the space craft. New Horizons was launched in 2006 to reach Pluto and to relay data about the dwarf planet back to Earth. The probe took nine years to reach Pluto and sent back images as it reached its closest approach on Tuesday evening. The New Horizons probe will continue out toward the Kuiper Belt to further examine the farthest reaches of our solar system. An extra presentation had to be added as several hundred people came out to the planetarium to learn about the space mission to Pluto. (Kin Man Hui/San Antonio Express-News)

The ritual of making a News Year Resolution has its roots in the Pre-Columbian era, where the burdens of a thriving community were carried by a single man for an entire year. On New Year’s day, the burdens from the previous year were transferred to another community member. The new leader celebrated by meditating at a copal ritual. This signaled the beginning of a new cycle of hopes and aspirations for the community. (from The Ritual Practice of Time: Philosophy and Sociopolitics of Mesoamerican …By Lars Kirkhusmo Pharoahe Monch)

We’re talking Icelandic turf houses, an architectural tradition dating back to the ninth century. Long before environmentally-friendly construction became popular, people in Iceland were constructing turf houses –– dwellings built into the earth –– to protect themselves from the bitter polar winters. Made of turf, wood, and stone, turf houses houses are dug into hillsides perfectly blending in with the landscape, gorgeous and green with equal parts form and function.
So why turf and not other building materials? With a limited supply of wood in Iceland, turf was an ideal and effective alternative. And a proven warm one at that.

A measure of the accuracy of a set of probability assessments. Proposed by Brier (1950), it is the average deviation between predicted probabilities for a set of events and their outcomes, so a lower score represents higher accuracy. In practice, the Brier score is often calculated according to Murphy’s (1972) partition into three additive components. Murphy’s partition is applied to a set of probability assessments for independent-event forecasts when a single probability is assigned to each event:
where c is the overall proportion correct, ct is the proportion correct in category t, pt is the probability assessed for category t, nt is the number of assessments in category t, and N is the total number of assessments. The first term reflects the base rate of the phenomenon for which probabilities are assessed (e.g., overall proportion of correct forecasts), the second is a measure of the calibration of the probability assessments, and the third is a measure of the resolution. Lichtenstein, Fischhoff and Phillips (1982) provide a more complete discussion of the Brier score for the evaluation of probability assessments. | <urn:uuid:f51db52a-69d3-42f8-bdac-55691c7bbcd0> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://scott.armstrong.delphi.stlouisintegration.com/dictionary/definitions/brier%20score.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823731.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020044747-20171020064747-00650.warc.gz | en | 0.945594 | 224 | 3.15625 | 3 |
The portal Første Verdenskrig – de sønderjyske krigsdeltagere [First World War – The soldiers of South Jutland] concerns the lives of Danish soldiers serving between 1914 and 1918. Before the First World War South Jutland had been a part of Germany. Many Danish men had to serve with the German army. The portal presents as its core letters and diaries of soldiers. You can search among several themes. Special sections deal with technology and weapons, remembrance and literary works (Erindring). The section Litteratur offers a selective bibliography on Denmark and the First World War. The links section contains a web directory with a selection of Danish, English, German and French websites. The website is accessible in Danish. | <urn:uuid:e9e23257-c279-476a-8ee8-4c75ad926ee5> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://digital1418.wordpress.com/2014/06/16/forste-verdenskrig-de-sonderjyske-krigsdeltagere/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820930.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017072323-20171017092323-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.939902 | 158 | 2.578125 | 3 |

Today, you first explained why Russell Williams could be considered as a fallen hero.
Then, you corrected your homework.
You studied the last example of fallen heroes thanks to the documents below:
Here is what you understood about the beginning of the article:
Police and firefighters are accused of a fraud after the 9/11 attacks because they pretended to suffer from psychiatric disorders and other illnesses / ailments in order to receive / get compensation which came from the Social Security funded by taxpayers. However / In fact, they were living normal lives. For example, one of them played blackjack in Las Vegas.

Fire ants live in an extensive network of tunnels in the soil. How deep this network extends into the ground depends on age and size of the colony, soil texture, and depth of the water table.
Tunnels in fire ant nests have been found to a depth of 10 feet or more, but most tunnels are shallower, starting just beneath the soil surface. Colonies in clay soils have deeper tunnels than those in sandy soils. Mounds are not necessary for colony survival as long as there is a dark, moist area for protection of the queen.
A rule of thumb to use when drenching mounds with an insecticide is to assume that there will be tunnels an inch and a half below ground for each inch in height above ground. For flat mounds, assume there will be tunnels an inch and a half below ground for every inch in mound diameter. This is why it is necessary to use more liquid insecticide on a bigger mound than on a smaller mound.

Deterrence Theory mostly harkens to the Cold War. It maintains that war against a country could be averted if the enemy knew they’d lose the fight. This means a country with nuclear weapons wouldn’t be threatened by another lacking these devices. The Fugs (an early underground-type rock band with Beat poet connections), take it a step further, with this song from 1966, which may be referencing the military strategy of First Strike.
First Strike is when a country attacks another to considerably hamper its ability to fight back, at the time and near future. You may find this referred to as “counterforce” and “pre-emptive nuclear strike.” It’s minor variation includes focusing on the destruction of an enemy’s nuclear facilities. This rationale informed the “removal” of Saddam Hussein whose Iraq was suspected to have “weapons of mass destruction.” We see the same point being reached presently with Iran and North Korea. | <urn:uuid:b1ebd285-5ecd-4b8b-9ceb-89f07c4438bc> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://politicaltunes.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/the-fugs-kill-for-peace/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825147.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022060353-20171022080353-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.961944 | 207 | 2.734375 | 3 |

How can you build effective online courses? What does it take to design an e-learning course that produces the desired results? Well, you need to focus on one of the most important aspect of online coursed design - framing proper learning objectives.
Learning objectives are specific and measurable statements that explain what learners will be able to do after completing a training program. As the self-paced online learning format is instructor-agonistic, learning objectives are the only means to guide learners in e-learning courses and ensure they are "on track" and align them with the expected outcomes. Well-framed learning objectives ensure that the course content is relevant and facilitate effective learning. They form the basis for determining the duration and cost of the online course.
Check out the presentation How to Set Learning Objectives to frame meaningful learning objectives for your online course. The presentation:

The scientific conclusion was based on a detailed study of healthy joggers and healthy but sedentary non-joggers for sometime. The study focused on hours of jogging, frequency, and the individual's perception of pace. As it is known, individuals' pace may vary from person to person.
Early studies have found that more than moderate exercise may cause more harm than good.
Peter Schnohr, MD, DMSc, a researcher from, Copenhagen, Denmark concluded that while jogging, pace of joggers is very important as the pace of the slow joggers corresponds to vigorous exercise and strenuous jogging corresponds to very vigorous exercise. However, 'decades of high-level activities could cause health risks, and may affect the efficiency of the cardiovascular system.'
World over people are leading a stressful life and if your target is to decrease the risk of heart problems and improve your life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good bet as too much of anything is harmful. Besides, watch out your dietary habits. | <urn:uuid:ed64a677-b89f-4b18-ac3e-4474c4672f3a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://navrangindia.blogspot.com/2016/10/light-jogging-and-its-impact-on.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824675.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021081004-20171021101004-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.934551 | 214 | 3.125 | 3 |
Snail have different types of slime which is a mucus secreted by glands:
- Body slime to keep the animal moist and to prevent it drying out.
- Slime to move along on to protect its foot from damage the snail secrete4s a continuous trail of slime. This leaves what we often see as a snail trail. This is secreted from glands under the mouth. The slime has also adhesive properties which allows the snail to climb trees and walls and attach to a variety of surfaces.
Snail slime was once used as medicine from Ancient Greece to the Middle Ages -internally against gastrointestinal ulcers and in the form of syrup to soothe a cough. | <urn:uuid:bbd9b266-4c38-4f24-80c9-8310f35d80da> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://factsaboutsnails.com/snail-facts/snail-slime/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826049.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023130351-20171023150351-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.980357 | 137 | 3.421875 | 3 |
A Russian spacecraft currently in orbit 200km (124.27 miles) above Earth known as the Progress M-27M cargo vessel is spinning out of control as it orbits the Earth. Fortunately, the craft, which was launched from Kazakhstan on Wednesday, does not have any crew on board, but unless control can be regained, the spacecraft will return to Earth in it’s out of control spin and will likely explode upon re-entering the atmosphere in a spectacular fashion. The Progress M-27M was designed to carry cargo to the International Space Station and is carrying 2,357kg (5,196 pounds) of fuel and supplies – which should make the fireworks even more interesting. It is not known exactly what could have sent the spacecraft reeling, but a sudden release of gas, an explosion or even a rocket thruster that didn’t shut down could have caused it. In 1966, the Gemini VIII spacecraft piloted by Neil Armstrong had a similar rocket thruster issue and his piloting skills were required to save the craft.

What could be cooler than a parasite? How about a parasite of a parasite? That’s right, HYPERPARASITISM!
Below is a picture of a parasitic copepod. The copepod’s head is to the lower right, and its two eggs sacks and tail extend into the upper left corner of the image. This parasite was found on the gills and in the mouth of a horn shark caught off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Armand Kuris‘ parasitology course found these while doing dissections for the lab part of the course.
These parasitic copepods have parasites of their own. Monogenean parasites of the genus Udonella latch onto the copepods, and make themselves at home. In the image below you can see an adult Udonella, as well as a bunch of eggs (one has been circled) that Udonella has laid on its host.
It’s a rough world out there!

Back in 2004, archaeologists excavated two pits in northern China that looked a lot like homebrewing operations. Constructed between 3400 and 2900 B.C. by the Yangshao culture, each pit contained the remnants of a stove and assorted funnels, pots and amphorae.
Now, Jiajing Wang of Stanford University and colleagues report that the pottery shards contain residue and other evidence of starches, chemicals and plant minerals from specific fermented grains. The ancient beer recipe included broomcorn millet, barley, Job’s tears and tubers — that probably gave the beer a sweet flavor, the team writes May 23 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The findings predate the earliest evidence of barley in China by around 1,000 years. Beer may have been consumed at social gatherings, and brewing, not agriculture, spurred the introduction of barley to China, the researchers argue. | <urn:uuid:94cfc00e-7c36-4e65-80fb-9c8f0e92dc41> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/science-ticker/evidence-5000-year-old-beer-recipe-found-china?tgt=nr | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825057.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022022540-20171022042540-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.93314 | 186 | 3.59375 | 4 |
HOW WE WILL SPEND THE MONEY
The Dodder River is a 25km long river descending almost 700m from the Wicklow Mountains through Dublin City and into the Irish Sea.
It is largely undiscovered and many facts and stories about it are unknown, for example it used to have over 40 mills on it, making it for a time the most heavily industrialised part of Ireland. It is also the most species diverse river flowing through a capital city in Europe with Otters, Badgers, Kingfishers, Herons, Ducks, Brown Trout and Salmon amongst its residents.
Dodder Action is a voluntary group dedicated to cleaning the river and improving it as an amenity. We wish to include a number of guided walks along the river focusing on nature, history and heritage.
They will be aimed at all age groups; scavenger and treasure trails for kids, tree trails including Brehon Tree trails, animal tracking guides, flora and fauna identification trails, through to heritage and history for school goers and adults.
We would hope to increase awareness and knowledge of the diversity of the river on an ecological and social level and make it an educational as well as a recreational tool. | <urn:uuid:f59e9fa6-65c9-435a-a686-86291f2d3bab> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://kbcbrightideas.com/ideas-hub/dublin/dodder-action/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824471.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020230225-20171021010225-00650.warc.gz | en | 0.951769 | 241 | 2.546875 | 3 |
Extending Basic Gardening Practices to Senegalese Young People
The garden in Lycee Parcelle Assainies began on the initiative of the Project Leader, Madam Aidara, as a result of food security-related concerns from students. It has since grown from a plot of sand into a space containing tree seedlings, garden beds, compost, and amended-hole plantings. As a new garden, Madam Aidara, as well as the students, understand the need for foundational training in agricultural best practices if the garden is to become sustainable and continue to grow. This project will provide interested students with basic knowledge of gardening and agricultural techniques so that they can, in turn, apply those practices at home and in their local communities to bolster food security.

relationships between teaching functions and skills
Teaching functions and teaching skills go hand in hand. Teaching functions allow us as teachers to focus why we are teaching the behavior rather than focusing on the behavior itself. To preform your teacher function, it all depends on how you feel comfortable teaching it. Examples of this can be videos demonstrations, and even explanations. Teaching skills are basically the skills that you are trying to teach through the use of teaching functions. One teaching function is presenting the task to they students. One way you as a teacher can go about this is through the use of video and how some other professional teaches the skill. Another was is through the use of demonstrations. Being the teacher you can show the students how to properly preform the specified task using your professional knowledge about it. For example teaching volleyball. You can show a video how to demonstrate one aspect of the game and you can use your knowledge to teach them another aspect of the game. Another one is developing the content. One way this can be done is to have the students work on accomplishing them individually. Another way is to have them work on completing the tasks in groups and having them participate in mini competitions between the groups. | <urn:uuid:d7427a85-a965-4c50-8c48-8fb7c028c922> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://mhayden-mh11.blogspot.com/2011/09/relationships-between-teaching.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826642.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023202120-20171023222120-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.96732 | 247 | 3.84375 | 4 |
This paper describes a design method based on constructing a genetic/ evolutionary-design model whose idea is borrowed from natural genetics. Here, two major issues from the modelling involve how to represent design knowledge for the evolutionary design model and the usefulness of the model for design problems. For the representation of design knowledge in the model, a schema concept is introduced. The utility of the model is based on its computational efficiency and its capability of producing satisfactory solutions for the given set of problem requirements. The design problem used to demonstrate the approach is a large office layout planning problem with its associated topological and geometrical arrangements of space elements. An example drawn from the literature is used. | <urn:uuid:404ce4ce-7542-4390-8e71-b14e02bd4a86> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Space-layout-planning-using-an-evolutionary-approa-Jo-Gero/0a065626e2b24e0ad166c92ef0c3af3798377567 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825510.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023020721-20171023040721-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.944254 | 133 | 2.546875 | 3 |
An Introduction to Biophilic Design
Biophilia is a ‘love of life or living systems’. It’s our inherent human connection to the natural world. In an urban world of technology and industrial architecture, this fundamental connection can sometimes feel all but lost. Biophilic design is an innovative way to harness this affinity in order to create natural environments for us to live, work and learn. By consciously including nature in interior or architectural design, we are unconsciously reconnecting; bringing the great outdoors in to our constructed world.
As pioneers in sustainability, Interface advocate biophilic design and know it is critical to human health to include natural systems and processes in our buildings and constructed landscapes. Over 50 studies worldwide, including our Human Spaces Report with psychologist Professor Sir Cary Cooper, have proven the positive effects nature or environments that mimic nature have on overall health and well-being. | <urn:uuid:f9f0ee0f-31bc-46be-9404-c64cf06323de> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.interface.com/EU/en-GB/campaign/biophilic-design/Biophilic-Design-en_GB | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825700.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023054654-20171023074654-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.929397 | 180 | 2.71875 | 3 |

Link Between Missing DNA, Birth Defects Confirmed, University of Pennsylvania And Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Study
Published: Mar 12, 2014
In 2010, scientists in Italy reported that a woman and her daughter showed a puzzling array of disabilities, including epilepsy and cleft palate. The mother had previously lost a 15-day-old son to respiratory failure, and the research team noted that the mother and daughter were missing a large chunk of DNA on their X chromosome. But the researchers were unable to definitively show that the problems were tied to that genetic deletion.

Pests or Diseases: Susceptible to leaf spot and root rot
Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Grow in average, dry to medium, well-drained, alkaline soils in full sun. Well-drained soils are required, particularly in winter. Root rot commonly attacks plants grown in poorly drained soils. Plants prefer a light, sandy soil with somewhat low fertility. Remove faded flowers to promote continued bloom. Prune to shape in spring after new leaves appear. Prune back to 8" in spring every 3 years to control plant size and to promote robust, new growth. To combat high humidity, consider using rock instead of organic mulch. | <urn:uuid:8f9f6823-39c0-4736-adb6-69f837d5865a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.degroot-inc.com/product/lavendula-lavender-angustifolia-munstead-strain/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826114.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023145244-20171023165244-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.93254 | 198 | 2.71875 | 3 |
Microplastics pollution is a growing global concern that affects all aquatic ecosystems. Microplastics in the environment can be in the form of fibers and/or particles, being the former the most abundant in the marine environment, representing up to 95% of total plastics. The aim of this work was to compare the content of microplastics among intertidal fish with different feeding type.
Our results show that omnivorous fish presented a higher amount of microplastic fibers than registered in herbivores and carnivores. Moreover, lower condition factors (K) were found in omnivorous specimens with higher microplastic content. We hypothesized that the type of feeding resulted in different microplastic ingestion, with species with wider range of food sources as omnivores with higher rates. Futures studies carried out to evaluate the biological impacts of microplastics on marine organisms, and microplastics cycling on the marine environment should consider the type of feeding of the studied species.

Definition - What does Code Review mean?
A code review is the process of examining written code with the purpose of highlighting mistakes in order to learn from them.
Code review can be static or dynamic. When code is analyzed for mistakes and syntax errors, it is termed as a static code review. When code is executed to compare the actual results with the expected results, it is termed as a dynamic code review.
Techopedia explains Code Review
The code may have syntax errors, like an undefined variable or improper keyword usage, and logical errors, where the proper syntax is used but yields incorrect output due to a flaw in the algorithm. Syntax errors can be removed using a static code review, while logical errors can be removed only with a dynamic code review, as the mistake in the code is not known to the developer at compilation time.
Code review are (should) be carried out regularly during the code design phase. An audit meeting is heldto determine code reliability and, if possible, suggest better alternatives to the existing code. Code is generally reviewed for security, maintainability, reliability, upgradability, flexibility, integration capability, and other features during the code review process. | <urn:uuid:acde2468-1977-4237-9392-b85451572a6d> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.techopedia.com/definition/14299/code-review | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824618.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021062002-20171021082002-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.922638 | 239 | 3.265625 | 3 |
What a great weekend at our school fete. This week for Homework we are focusing on the sound 'h' as in house and 'j' as in jellyfish. We are also beginning to prepare a presentation on a wet environment.
Remember; a wet environment is a place or area which is wet or has a lot of rain or precipitation.
The task is to draw a picture of a ‘Wet Environment’ and talk about it. Include information such as where it is found in Australia or in the world; what kind of animals live in this environment and whether there is a place of interest in this area.
Some wet environments are: wetlands (e.g. Kakadu), the ocean (eg. the Great Barrier Reef), rainforests (e.g. Daintree Rainforest).
These presentations will take place in Weeks 4 and 5. | <urn:uuid:135add97-f9f5-4015-99ce-a84d64d433de> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://2h-2014.blogspot.com/2015/05/week-3-homework.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820700.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017033641-20171017053641-00292.warc.gz | en | 0.953615 | 181 | 3.515625 | 4 |
Today in Christian History
December 26, 1065: The first building of Westminster Abbey is dedicated, though legend holds that the abbey was founded as early as 616.
December 26, 1194: Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II is born today near the town of Jesi, in the Marche region of Italy. Frederick claimed to be a direct successor to the Roman Emperors of old and united the kingdoms of Italy, Germany, Sicily, and Jerusalem (by marriage and crusade). He was frequently at war with the popes of his era, mostly for geopolitical reasons, and was excommunicated four times during his reign.

Ayuthaya (full name Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya) is the ancient capital of Siam dynasty after Sukhothai.
Throughout the centuries, the ideal location between China, India and the Malay Archipelago made Ayutthaya the trading capital of Asia and even the world. By 1700 Ayutthaya had become the largest city in the world with a total of 1 million inhabitants!! Unfortunately we do not read about this great city in our history books!
Many international merchants from around the world have proclaimed Ayutthaya as the finest city they had ever seen. All this came to a quick end when the Burmese invaded Ayutthaya in 1767 and almost completely burnt the city down to the ground.
Today, only a few remains, mostly temples and palaces, might give a glimpse of the impressive city they must have seen. The above photograph is taken in Wat Mahathat showing one of the few Buddha statues that is intact surrounded by prangs(towers). | <urn:uuid:ea954798-2d60-438e-89ba-4f737f545014> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.awayfromshor.com/category/travel-photo/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825141.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022041437-20171022061437-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.948041 | 210 | 2.9375 | 3 |
In my previous post I talked about using a motor, a cam, and a switch to fire a solenoid. That just wasn’t going to work because it was too hard to get the right pace of the solenoid firing. The motor voltage changed its speed, and the cam idea was too difficult to adjust the cam shape and location.
In this post I’m showing how I switched to the Arduino Nano to control the firing rate of the solenoid. With the Arduino, it’s a 30-second program change to change the rate of the solenoid firing as opposed to the ridiculously difficult process with motor and cams.
The first video below shows the solenoid firing using the default settings in the sample ‘Blink’ program in the Arduino IDE.
The video below shows the solenoid firing after I modified the delay settings in the ‘Blink’ program. | <urn:uuid:23ce4bc4-0c7a-4a31-89f3-74a168b5960a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://makeanimatronics.com/using-arduino-and-relay-to-fire-a-solenoid | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823360.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019175016-20171019195016-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.931343 | 192 | 2.546875 | 3 |

This reflects the ideological underpinnings of the UK system in the Beveridge model. The National Health Service Act, passed in 1948, stipulated accordingly that access to healthcare be available to all regardless of wealth. These inherent structural differences manifest themselves in several other features of the two healthcare systems. This essay will analyse these differences by exploring the cost, quality, efficiency, and equity of the two healthcare systems, in order to evaluate their relative merits. Cost The greatest contrast between the two healthcare systems is their respective cost structures. In order to compare these structures, it is first necessary to outline the components of total healthcare expenditure.

The Zika virus is caused from the bite of an infected mosquito and can cause fever, rash, and joint pain.In pregnant woman, the bite can cause microcephaly which is a birth defect that affects the brain of the fetus. However, there are several steps pregnant woman and the general public can take to prevent these bites.
The best way to prevent this is to wear long sleeved shirts as well as stay in well air conditioned area and avoid standing water which can be mosquito breeding sites.
Another way for additional protection is to look into insect repellents which can aid in protecting you from all pests including those who carry the virus.
There are several options available at cpr-savers.com including our most popular product the Natrapel 8 hr Continuous spray. This insect repellant protects against all biting insects as well as ticks and is CDC recommended.
If someone finds themselves in an area with a high population of those infected with the Zika virus, it is recommended that they get checked by their family physician regardless if there are symptoms of the virus or not. It is always better to be safe than sorry! | <urn:uuid:f5e14ff5-9485-44a2-a8e7-46e93899a819> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.cpr-savers.com/Zika-Virus--Safety-and-Prevention_b_14.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824618.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021062002-20171021082002-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.970578 | 230 | 2.765625 | 3 |

DES MOINES, Iowa – Wildlife experts across the country are warning those who like to spend time outdoors of a pesky and poisonous plant.
Wild parsnip typically grows very tall and can be found in fields and ditches across North America.
However, experts say it can wreak havoc on your skin.
“It is nasty to get into,” Black Hawk County Conservation Board Educator Katie Shelton told KWWL. “It’s the sap on the plant that actually causes the reaction on your skin. It causes Phytophotodermatitis, so that means once the sap comes into contact with your skin it reacts with the UV light from the sun. It causes blisters, and boils, and a lot of scarring.”
Experts say if you plan on being outdoors, you should learn what the plant looks like and avoid it.
If you come in contact with wild parsnip, wrap up the area of contact to avoid sunlight and wash immediately with soap and water. | <urn:uuid:d46b3140-d339-4525-a8e3-6886582cfbd3> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://kfor.com/2017/06/21/experts-warning-families-to-stay-away-from-wild-parsnip/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824543.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021024136-20171021044136-00852.warc.gz | en | 0.938138 | 211 | 3.03125 | 3 |

The latest report from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms that hundreds of technologies are now available, at very low cost, to reduce climate damaging emissions, and that government policies need to remove the barriers to these technologies.Implementing these solutions will enable people to usher in a new era of energy, one that will bring economic growth, new jobs, technological innovation and, most importantly environmental protection.However, for green solutions to global warming to find a foothold in the market, governments and corporations need to shift away from polluting technology. In most industrial countries, conventional electricity is heavily subsidised, and the negative environmental impacts of its production are not reflected in the cost to end-users.The time has come for us end our addiction to fossil fuels and other climate damaging technologies. Here you can discover how clean renewable energies, like wind, solar, bioenergy, hydroelectric and other sources can combine to create a clean energy revolution. Discover also the misleading myths about these solutions pushed by vested interests aiming to stop the clean energy revolution.

A woman suffers from an itch so severe that she scratches right through to her brain—yet doctors find no medical ailment. War victims feel the sensations of a real limb—but from phantom appendages. What does it all add up to? Perhaps a new understanding of how our brains perceive reality: Call it the “brain’s best guess” theory, Atul Gawande writes in the New Yorker.
Emerging brain theory concludes that 90% of perceptions originate inside the brain, including neurological problems once considered nerve-related. As for the outside world, brains just rounds up weak sensory signals and call them experience. "Perception is the brain’s best guess about what is happening in the outside world," Gawande notes. "Perception," in short, "is inference." | <urn:uuid:4e0786dd-61ff-4522-aad6-186d96f8802b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.newser.com/story/30703/that-irritating-itch-it-may-just-be-your-brain.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822116.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017144041-20171017164041-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.938528 | 163 | 3.078125 | 3 |
Have you developed dry, silver, flaky skin? Do you get embarrassed in public when you see red, inflamed patches of skin? If you nodded along with a concern, then most probably you are suffering from psoriasis. Read on to get acquainted with the causes, symptoms, and treatments of psoriasis to understand the condition and get the necessary relief. Read on to learn about psoriasis.
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that triggers rapid buildup of your skin cells, thereby developing thick, silvery, red, or white spots of skin. Redness and inflammation around the spots is quite common. You suffer from psoriasis when your immune system misunderstands your normal skin cell as a pathogen and transmits faulty signals that lead to excess of production of new skin cells that grow deep in the skin and then rise to the surface gradually.
Is Psoriasis Contagious?
No, psoriasis is not contagious condition. Even though psoriasis is not contagious condition, it can create embarrassing condition for you. | <urn:uuid:0fa2e91f-1512-44a9-83c0-3c1128b55af7> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://blog.portea.com/health-well-being/all-you-wanted-to-know-about-psoriasis | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822930.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018104813-20171018124813-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.926659 | 222 | 2.921875 | 3 |

"Injury prevention" doesn't readily come to mind as a medical treatment, does it?
But if "healthcare" is the maintenance of good health, what could be more central to maintaining health and well-being than preventing preventable illness?
Prevention education has been likened to a vaccination against shaken baby syndrome. The effectiveness of many medicines varies with individual and social factors, such as gender and race (as noted in this Wall Street Journal article). The effectiveness of education does as well.
So, why shouldn't healthcare dollars evaluate not just the efficiency and effectiveness of treatments for the consequences of disease and injury, but prevention education too?
The Institutes of Medicine will be recommending priorities for that research, and CDC invites suggestions from the public.

South-East Asia urgently needs to stop using fire to clear land, say David J. Lohman, David Bickford and Navjot S. Sodhi in this article in Science.
Despite a zero-burning policy — ratified by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in 1999 — farmers throughout the region continue to burn land.
Burning releases a large amount of carbon dioxide and soot into the atmosphere, causing lingering haze pollution and increasing mortality rates across the region.
During El Niño years, the fires often burn out of control, destroying large areas of forest and endangering the region's biodiversity.
The authors suggest that a number of activities are needed to solve the problem, including preventing and extinguishing carbon-intense 'dirty fires' and coordinating regional fire-fighting efforts.
They also call for farmers to be given financial incentives to stop burning, as well as alternative methods of clearing land and education about environmental management.
2007 may be another El Niño year, say the authors, so solutions must be in place before the dry season starts in June. | <urn:uuid:4d400819-b0ee-49e6-a646-8f6f5ca4b8b1> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.scidev.net/asia-pacific/pollution/opinion/southeast-asia-stop-the-burning-seaap.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822625.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017234801-20171018014801-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.915895 | 217 | 3.390625 | 3 |
Functional nutrition understands that food supplies more than the building blocks needed for your body’s chemistry. It also supplies biochemical information that directs the activity of your genes and the physiology of your tissues and organs. Functional Foods have specific health benefits that exceed their basic nutritional value. They may enhance immunity, physical performance and mental focus, improve circulation, decrease inflammation, and speed recovery from stress or injury. The term is usually applied to foods that are modified or combined in ways that increase their health benefits.
Dr. Galland has been researching and teaching the clinical effects of Functional Foods since the 1980’s. In 2004 he was invited to create the section on Functional Foods for the world-renowned Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition and was invited to update his chapter for the next edition in 2013.
In 2017, he was asked to design a line of recipes for enhancing the health benefits of coffee in partnership with Jack’s Stir Brewed Coffee, the first organic coffee house in New York City and a downtown phenomenon.
He continues to use Functional Foods wherever appropriate in his medical practice. | <urn:uuid:f517b865-74ea-4531-b6ae-b28af9d1f81e> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://drgalland.com/functional-nutrition/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822851.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018085500-20171018105500-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.962838 | 219 | 2.734375 | 3 |
The long term Sustaining, improving and restoring the Island’s native flora is at the heart of Weddell’s long-term future.
Restoring Flora/fauna. Only the 20 square miles of The Loop (approx. 20% of the island) are run as a sheep farm and then with greatly reduced sheep numbers. This reduction in grazing (the vast majority of the Island (over 80 square miles) has not been grazed for 8 years) has resulted in the native flora coming back in abundance.
Weddell Island is designated by Falklands Conservation as an IPA, Important Plant Area. More of the Falkland’s endemic species of plants are found on Weddell Island than on any other island.
Power. The island uses a wind turbine to generate much of its power, which is supplemented by a diesel generator to top-up batteries and ensure 24 hour power.
Water. The Settlement’s water is taken direct from a mountain spring.
Food. Visitors can eat lamb, beef, eggs and vegetables grown organically on the island. | <urn:uuid:40d8eb17-7ec3-4dcb-bf04-e3e6d6fd8591> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.weddellisland.com/sustainability/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824225.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020135519-20171020155519-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.924199 | 226 | 3.34375 | 3 |

A new website is taking picture books and making them accessible in all forms of communication. What a clever idea, says Charlotte Ronalds
Signed Stories (www.signedstories.com) is a free website from ITV that contains well-known stories fully accessible in sound, sign, text, pictures and animation. Designed primarily to help improve the literacy of deaf children, it also has great potential for hearing children. And, with a pledge that they will upload one new book every week, the site is well worth a look. Below are some activities that focus on just two of the books available – there are many more.
In Polly Dunbar’s story, a young boy called Ben goes to increasingly drastic lengths to get his new penguin to talk. Yet Penguin prefers to say nothing… until something happens to Ben, that is.

There are around 32.8 million sheep in the UK. Sheep are a part of life and a part of the landscape. Since most farmland (60%) is only suitable for growing grass, raising sheep and cattle is logically the best agricultural use for the land. As we crossed through field after field, sheep dotted the landscape everywhere, and their voices could be heard across the hills and dales.
Being there just after the lambing season also meant that there were lambs everywhere as well. While we were there, the ewes and lambs are out in the fields together, with the ewes grazing and the lambs suckling. Lambs weigh roughly 2.5 kg | 5.5 lbs when they are born and grow quickly, around 300 g | 0.7 lb a day.
Of course, one must watch where one steps. | <urn:uuid:7bcabf2e-3a43-46cf-9fcc-a457ab63c604> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://slownomads.phoosh.net/baaaa/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187827662.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023235958-20171024015958-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.980204 | 174 | 3.265625 | 3 |
- Problems paying attention or focusing
- Excessive activity
- Difficulty controlling behavior not appropriate for their age
Symptoms begin by age 6-12 and last for more than 6 months.
There are medications, such as adderall to treat ADHD, but it can't be cured.
Can ADHD be prevented?
You can increase the chance of your child NOT having ADHD by staying healthy throughout your pregnancy. Children whose mothers smoked while they were pregnant are 2x more likely to develop ADHD.
Teachers often offer accommodations for children with ADHD. They can give extended time for tests, shorten assignments, give special instruction in note-taking, and give alternative assignments for long-term projects.
CHADD is a non-profit organization that advocates and supports individuals with ADHD.
Therapy helps uncover a child's true reasoning for troubling behavior. ADHD treatment is more effective when combining with therapy

Whether you call it Chicory, Blue Sailor, or one of at least a half-dozen alternate common names—or maybe know it by its scientific name, Cichorium intybus—surely you'll agree this ubiquitous plant is as pretty as anything from the garden. Tall enough to get noticed, with bright daisylike flowers up to a couple inches across and blue as a summer sky. Just seeing a clump beside a country road immediately lifts my spirits.
Yes, the plant has a long, long history of use medicinally, in dye-making, and as forage for livestock. In the kitchen you can use various parts in all sorts of dishes, including the dried, ground root as an additive—or even substitute—to coffee. And no, it's naturalized rather than a native…like me, a fellow citizen descended from immigrant stock.
But I say forget all that. Just take the time to give the blooms a slow, close look. Isn't it dazzling! And isn't that reason aplenty to welcome this delightful plant to the summer landscape? After all, a wildflower doesn't have to be rare to be beautiful. | <urn:uuid:f1b3a601-ae1f-4cca-842a-7a2b8c15e380> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://riverdaze.blogspot.com/2012/06/summers-dazzling-blue.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823229.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019050401-20171019070401-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.958282 | 240 | 2.59375 | 3 |
Imagine A DragonBook - 2008
A creature made of myth and dreams. Imagine a scaly creature more than a hundred feet long that spews fire and beats its wings to fly. Or imagine another creature with the head of a camel, horns like a deer, and paws like a tiger. Different cultures imagine dragons differently. An English dragon might terrorize the countryside, and a Chinese dragon might cause a drought, a flood, or even a hurricane. In this stunning book, richly illustrated by Eujin Kim Neilan, Laurence Pringle explains how people came to believe in dragons and offers young readers an engaging look at dragons from cultures around the world.

In Marriage Gifts and Social Change in Ancient Palestine, T. M. Lemos traces changes in the marriage customs of ancient Palestine over the course of several hundred years. The most important of these changes was a shift in emphasis from bridewealth to dowry, the latter of which clearly predominated in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Whereas previous scholarship has often attributed these shifts to the influence of foreign groups, Lemos connects them instead with a transformation that occurred in Palestine's social structure during the very same period. In the early Iron Age, Israel was a kinship-based society with a subsistence economy, but as the centuries passed, it became increasingly complex and developed marked divisions between rich and poor. At the same time, the importance of its kinship groups waned greatly. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach that draws heavily on anthropological research, cultural theory, archaeological evidence, and historical-critical methods, Lemos posits that shifts in marriage customs were directly related to these wider social changes.

The Varberg Radio Station at Grimeton in southern Sweden (built 1922–24) is an exceptionally well-preserved monument to early wireless transatlantic communication. It consists of the transmitter equipment, including the aerial system of six 127-m high steel towers. Although no longer in regular use, the equipment has been maintained in operating condition. The 109.9-ha site comprises buildings housing the original Alexanderson transmitter, including the towers with their antennae, short-wave transmitters with their antennae, and a residential area with staff housing. The architect Carl Åkerblad designed the main buildings in the neoclassical style and the structural engineer Henrik Kreüger was responsible for the antenna towers, the tallest built structures in Sweden at that time. The site is an outstanding example of the development of telecommunications and is the only surviving example of a major transmitting station based on pre-electronic technology.

The occupation of play during one’s childhood years serves as a foundation for the development of future occupations in an individual’s life. By understanding a child’s extant play skills and deficits, one may then provide the necessary interventions needed to promote development and successful growth into new occupations. The purpose of this paper was to understand how a child with sensory processing deficits plays in a naturalistic environment. The findings revealed an interplay between the child’s underlying sensory processing deficits and his play skills and behaviors. Increased understanding of how a child with sensory processing deficits plays will provide information for other occupational therapists and help in the treatment of children with similar deficits.

There are so many conveniences we take for granted most of the time. Things like walks. In areas where natural rock was sparse or non-existent, how did people create walkways through muddy yards or get from point "A" to point "B" without slogging through ankle deep mud. The answer was revealed from a photo simply identified as having been taken in Guthrie, Oklahoma ca. 1900. The "walk" up to the front porch and around the side of the house was created by lengths of lumber (from the size perhaps as long as 12 feet, 2 inches deep, and perhaps 8 to 12 inches wide in some places). Note the pride of place for the bicycle as well. | <urn:uuid:95135ed1-6972-43e4-b55d-440f3772dbf0> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://mystorical.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-always-wondered-about-that.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824104.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020120608-20171020140608-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.988301 | 141 | 2.890625 | 3 |
Nature Communications (July 21, 2015, v6, article number:7714; doi:10.1038/ncomms8714) / by Klaus Hubacek, et al.
Fossil fuel CO2 emissions in the United States decreased by ~11% between 2007 and 2013, from 6,023 to 5,377 Mt. This decline has been widely attributed to a shift from the use of coal to natural gas in US electricity production. However, the factors driving the decline have not been quantitatively evaluated; the role of natural gas in the decline therefore remains speculative. Here we analyse the factors affecting US emissions from 1997 to 2013. Before 2007, rising emissions were primarily driven by economic growth. After 2007, decreasing emissions were largely a result of economic recession with changes in fuel mix (for example, substitution of natural gas for coal) playing a comparatively minor role. Energy–climate policies may, therefore, be necessary to lock-in the recent emissions reductions and drive further decarbonization of the energy system as the US economy recovers and grows. | <urn:uuid:fc0faea3-39db-4346-b73b-9283c157ba30> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://rfflibrary.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/drivers-of-the-us-co2-emissions-1997-2013/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822480.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017181947-20171017201947-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.932069 | 215 | 2.71875 | 3 |
Serota, K., & Levine, T. (2014). A Few Prolific Liars: Variation in the Prevalence of Lying
Journal of Language and Social Psychology DOI: 10.1177/0261927X14528804
It has been commonplace in the deception literature to assert the pervasive nature of deception in communication practices. Previous studies of lie prevalence find that lying is unusual compared to honest communication. Recent research, and reanalysis of previous studies reporting the frequency of lies, shows that most people are honest most of the time and the majority of lies are told by a few prolific liars. The current article reports a statistical method for distinguishing prolific liars from everyday liars and provides a test of the few prolific liars finding by examining lying behavior in the United Kingdom. Participants (N = 2,980) were surveyed and asked to report on how often they told both little white lies and big important lies. Not surprisingly, white lies were more common than big lies. Results support and refine previous findings about the distinction between everyday and prolific liars, and implications for theory are discussed.

Nearly 1 BILLION PEOPLE lack access to clean water, that means 1 IN 6 PEOPLE don't have clean water!!
3.4 MILLION people around the world die each year from water-related disease. Children are in the most danger because their immune systems cannot fight off the diseases carried in the dirty water they are drinking.
How does water for life work?
By Implementing wells, water filtration & distribution systems and educating each community on running and maintenance of their system, they will be able to have it forever!
We have partnered with multiple Rotary Clubs in the U.S. & Guatemala, as well as Water For The Americas. These amazing organizations have been implementing sustainable water systems in Central America for over 10 years!
A major benefit to these partnerships is 100% of our donations go to building these water systems!
Jobs are created! Local contractors and volunteers from the villages work together to build these systems. On average, every $1 invested to improve clean water turns into $4-$12 for the local economy.

I recently wrote some code on the flight from Boston to CA to get at least 1 solution to the N Queens problem.
This is a recursive backtracking based algorithm – which I have solved using iterative backtracking.
The code is attached and written in python.
This code may not be super optimized but is small enough and correct.
We can add a wrapper on top of this code easily to output all the possible solutions of the N Queens problem
This program takes 1 parameter – the Size of the Grid. It is assumed that it is a Square Grid
It outputs the possible coordinates to place the N Queens
The grid Index starts from 1
Simple way to run the program using Python interpreter
python 8QueensProblem.py <N>
Where <N> is the Grid Size | <urn:uuid:35b4eabf-842f-4055-92d1-00c3b248d288> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://sumitpal.wordpress.com/2012/07/14/n-queens-problem-solution-for-square-grid-in-python/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825057.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022022540-20171022042540-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.866581 | 162 | 2.515625 | 3 |
