Name and shame
The publication of the identity of a person or group that is culpable in some anti-social act in order to shame them into remorse.
The phrase has been known since the late 19th century as a noun phrase; for example, this piece from the Pennsylvania newspaper The Warren Ledger, October 1884:
"None are willing to father the name and shame of being beer or whisky men."
It began to be used in the 1990s as a verb phrase, following an initiative by the UK Government. On Oct 8, 1996 The Independent (London) reported that:
"The Home Secretary [Conservative minister Michael Howard] is also expected to suggest a scheme to 'name and shame' young offenders by giving courts the power to remove the automatic anonymity for under-18s."

Myth # 8: Dogs chase their tails or spin in circles because they are bored.
Repetitive behaviours such as pacing, spinning, tail chasing, and foot licking have many causes. To infer they are caused by boredom oversimplifies a complicated problem. These behaviours may be caused by frustration or conflict. They may be secondary to certain medical problems that cause itching, pain, or discomfort in a body part. Sometimes they are caused by seizures or other forms of brain dysfunction.
FACT: Repetitive behaviours are complex problems that require evaluation, diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Please let us know if you are concerned about any of these behaviours in our own pet.

Canada’s newest and the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserve is the Wood Buffalo National Park, located along the Alberta-Northwest Territories border.
The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada declared the park, 500 kilometres north of Fort McMurray, as its 17th Dark Sky Preserve on Aug. 2.
At 44,807 square kilometres, it is the world’s largest.
To celebrate, Parks Canada will hold the Wood Buffalo Dark Sky Festival on Aug. 23 to 25, allowing visitors to experience night sky viewing, presentations and the undisturbed habitat of the many owls, bats and night hawks that call the park home.
On June 28, the RASC had declared North Frontenac Township in eastern Ontario a Dark Sky Preserve, the first municipality to receive the designation.
The RASC’s Dark Sky Preserve Program was started 13 years ago to increase public awareness of regions with exceptionally dark skies and their benefit to animals and humans.

White Gold – Texas Blues
Frauke Huber, Uwe H. Martin
Lubbock in Western Texas is known as the cotton capital of the world. No other place hosts such a density of cotton fields and is more efficient. To stay competitive on the world market, US farmers in recent years reduced high labor costs with the help of genetically modified cotton, heavy machinery and chemical control of the plants. The extremely high cost of these technologies forced the farmers to grow huge or loose their business. Without the annual billion Dollar subsidies the farmers could hardly survive. These subsidies are one the main reason the world market price for cotton is pushed down below the production costs of farmers in Africa and India, resulting in bankruptcy and farmers suicides. But even with the support and farms ranging at about 8,000 acres, farmers do not get rich. One bad year can bankrupt them, because the cost for farming is constantly rising, flushing big money to seed and chemical corporations, while the selling price remains more or less the same since generations.

Many different animals’ offspring are called kits, including the badger, ferret, fox, rabbit, skunk, squirrel and weasel. This term is different from "kid" and "kitten," which are also used to describe baby animals.Continue Reading
Baby ferrets, skunks and weasels are called kits exclusively. A baby rabbit is sometimes called a kit, but it is also called a bunny or kitten. A fox’s offspring may be called a cub or pup. A badger’s offspring is also sometimes called a cub. A baby squirrel may be called a pup or kitten.
"Kit" is not to be confused with "kid," which is a term for a baby goat. A baby goat is also sometimes called a billy. "Kitten" is another related term and is used to describe the offspring of many different animals, including cats.Learn more about Zoology

Our arborists can identify any plant disease
There are several naturally occurring diseases in our environment that can be detrimental or lethal to our trees and shrubs. A certified arborist from Mayer Tree Service can help you diagnose what disease(s) may be present, and provide you with a program recommendation to help keep your trees and shrubs healthy.
Some common recommendations for diseased Trees:
- Sanitation - Remove infected branches and leaves to reduce the likelihood of reinfection.
- Health - If a tree is infected, focus on the tree's health; watering and fertilization are common recommendations.
- Culture - Decrease conditions that promote disease, such as pruning out dense growth to improving air circulation.

Barack Obama would impose a windfall profits tax on the big oil companies whenever oil crossed the $80 a barrel mark. Some analysts feel $80 a barrel is what oil 'should' be priced at, factoring out investment money and unfounded supply fears. The cash would be given to low income people to help them offset their energy costs.
Another idea along these lines is eliminating oil company tax breaks and using the money to fund research into renewable sources.
Opponents say raising taxes on oil companies will result in less oil production, and ultimately lead to higher prices. If the government didn't tax oil companies and simply borrowed the cash to give consumers, they say, that would only hurt the dollar and send oil prices higher.

A Potentially Unwanted Program (or PUP) is a program that may be unwanted, despite the possibility that users consented to download it. PUPs include spyware, adware, and dialers, and are often downloaded in conjunction with a program that the user wants.
The term was created by McAfee because marketing firms objected to having their products called "spyware": in the view of such firms, all the information necessary for informed consent is included in the download agreement. It is widely recognized, however, that many if not most users fail to read a download agreement in sufficient detail to understand exactly what they are downloading. For instance you're downloading a file off of the internet. There's a installer and you're just clicking through everything and you realize that you've downloaded something dodgy as well.
The most common type of PUPs are usually rogue software, in which you usually just pay for "removal" of non-existent malware on your computer.
- Potentially unwanted program on Wikipedia.

This stunning photograph was taken by Justin Marier of South Range, Michigan while on his way to work…. Has the Portage Canal ever look more beautiful?! Advertisements
In 1865, the U.S. government awarded 200,000 acres of land to the Portage Lake and Lake Superior Ship Canal Company to build a canal. (The U.S. government gave more acreage to the project that totaled around 450,000 acres upon the project’s completion.) It was a project that would take over 9 years to complete. The canal was created with the intention of connecting the Keweenaw Bay through Portage Lake with Lake Superior. This would save ships a tremendous amount of time and money!
Introducing the Portage Canal: In 1874 the canal was finished! It was 2 miles long, 100 feet in width, and 14 feet deep. (In 1935, it was widened to 500 feet in width.)

Texas A&M opened October 4, 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. it became the first public institution of higher education in Texas. The named changed in 1963 when A&M became a university. A&M was founded under the Morrill Act (land grant college). Under the Morrill Act A&M’s purpose was to “leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and mechanic arts.” Today A&M is one of the largest universities in the U.S., boasts world-class research programs and is one of the largest producers of military officers behind the national service academies.

Bacterial leafspot causes round, water-soaked spots on leaves and young stems. These develop into shrunken, brown areas about 1/8 inch in diameter. Destroy infected leaves and spray with basic copper sulfate.
Bacterial crown gall forms galls on the lower stems. There is no chemical control. Remove infected plants and do not replant in the same spot.
Shoot blight causes grayish to brown decayed spots on the leaves. The spots first appear at the leaf margins, then spread to the rest of the leaf. Infected flower clusters or twigs are killed. The disease is caused by Botrytis cinerea and can be controlled with sprays of benomyl.
A number of fungi cause leaf spots. If needed, spray with basic copper sulfate. Rake up and destroy infected leaves.
Powdery mildew causes a white powdery growth on the leaves. Spray with benomyl. Sulfur may cause defoliation.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), officially known as Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a set of seventeen aspirational “Global Goals” with 169 targets between them. Spearheaded by the United Nations, through a deliberative process involving its 193 Member States, as well as global civil society, the goals are contained in paragraph 54 United Nations Resolution A/RES/70/1 of 25 September 2015. The Resolution is a broader intergovernmental agreement that, while acting as the Post 2015 Development Agenda (successor to the Millennium Development Goals), builds on the Principles agreed upon under Resolution A/RES/66/288, popularly known as The Future We Want. The SDGs were in large measure informed by the oft quoted assertion by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that “there can be no Plan B, because there is no Planet B.”
There is much work to be done.

Let u and v be two vectors given by their 3 components as follows
u = < a , b , c > and v = < d , e , f >
The cross product, noted by x, of the two vectors u and v given above is another vector w given by
w = u x v = < a , b , c > x < d , e , f > = < x , y , z >
with the components x, y and z given by:
x = b*f - c*e , y = c*d - a*f and z = a*e - b*d
How to use the calculator
1 - Enter the components of each of the two vectors, as real numbers and press "Enter". The answer is a vector. If by mistake characters other than numbers are entered, no answer is displayed.

Depression is a type of mood disorder. A main indicator is when kids are sad, discouraged, or upset for weeks, months, or even longer. Another sign a child might have depression is negative thinking. This includes focusing on problems that are mostly critical and self critical and can interrupt energy, concentration, sleep and eating habits. Children with depression may loose interest in school, seem tired, give up easily, or withdraw from friends or family.

Travelling With Time: Stories from the Greenwich Observatory
@ Palace Green LibraryBook Now
02 August 2017
What time is it? We are surrounded today by time signals through the radio, telephone and computers. But how did people check the time before this existed? In this lively illustrated talk, David Rooney tells the tale of how Greenwich Mean Time was distributed from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, focusing on the work of the Belville family who sold it to Londoners using a specially corrected pocket chronometer. Dr Rooney is a Keeper at the Science Museum, London, and formerly Curator of Timekeeping at the Royal Observatory. He writes and speaks widely on the history of technology and is the son of a prominent South Shields clockmaker.

Iquitos Dawn, 2012
A reading, from the series One Image/One Text
Iquitos Dawn is part of "One Image/One Text", a collection of writings employing a single photographic image as starting point for a narrative read aloud. Iquitos Dawn makes reference to Hungarian photojournalist Robert Capa's "Magnificent Eleven", a group of eleven surviving photographs he made on 6 June 1944 (D-Day), the launch date for Operation Overlord – a.k.a. the Normandy Invasion – the Allied invasion of Western Europe during World War II. Capa came ashore with the men of the 16th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division in the second assault wave on Omaha Beach and is said to have taken 106 pictures, all but eleven of which were destroyed in a processing accident in the Life magazine photo lab in London. The surviving photos have since been called the "Magnificent Eleven".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1-center problem or minimax or minmax location problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem in operations research of facilities location type. In its most general case the problem is stated as follows. Given a set of n demand points, a space of feasible locations of a facility, and a function to calculate the transportation cost between a facility and any demand point, find a location of the facility which minimizes the maximum facility-demand point transportation cost.
The simple special case when the feasible locations and demand points are in the plane with Euclidean distance as transportation cost (planar minmax Euclidean facility location problem, Euclidean 1-center problem in the plane, etc.), it is also known as the smallest circle problem. Its generalization to n-dimensional Euclidean spaces is known as the smallest enclosing ball problem. A further generalization (weighted Euclidean facility location) is when the set of weights is assigned to demand points and the transportation cost is the sum of the products of distances by the corresponding weights.
There are numerous particular cases of the problem, depending on the choice of the locations both of demand points and facilities, as well as the distance function.

The Albany Mounds area has been inhabited for at least 10,000 years. Artifacts from nearly all local prehistoric Americans Indians cultures have been found here. The area, however, is best known for the group of American Indians who lived here about 2,00 years ago; members of the Hopewell culture who constructed the burial mounds from which the site derives it's name.
More than 96 mounds were originally located at the Albany site, making it one of the largest mound group in Illinois as well as the state. Today less than 50 of the original mounds remain. The remainder of the mounds are now owned by the State of Illinois.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
When duplicating an industrial process for physical testing is not feasible, computational modeling is an effective alternative. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, coupled with actual spray performance data captured in our laboratory, can model a wide variety of systems to predict distribution, velocity, temperature, flow paths, droplet evaporation, wall hit, and almost any physical quantity. CFD lets you know that your process is going to work before you build it.
Three ways to investigate fluid phenomena:
- Bernoulli’s equation
- Diffusion law
- Experimentation (lab work)
- Use basic fluid equations all solved simultaneously
What Kinds of Problems Can We Solve with CFD?
- Fluid flow inside nozzles and piping, even in complex geometries
- Evaporation of sprays and cooling of gases
- Droplet breakup at nozzle orifice
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Used for analysis of stresses in parts
- Methods are similar to CFD, breaking up the part into tiny elements and calculating movement and stress on each element
- Used for qualifying ASME code compliance

The word "tithe" means "ten percent". Old Testament tithing was a form of
taxation and was imposed upon Jewish believers and unbelievers alike. This
amounted to a percentage of what one owned or received for his labors. There
were several tithes. One was an income tax for the maintenance of the Levites
(Num. 18,21,24). There was also a tax for the national feasts and sacrifices,
mentioned in Deuteronomy 14,22 through 24. Thirdly, there was a tax every
year used for the poor of the land (Deut. 14,28,29). Three Taxes or

shall give thee light."

The Sound Of Innovation For Deafness
Many deaf or near-deaf people have been helped with cochlear implants, but MIT in collaboration with Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary have developed a new, low-power signal-processing chip that works like a cochlear implant without the bulky external hardware. The implant works for eight hours between charges, which is done wirelessly without the need for the bulky battery pack outside the ear. And the prototype engineers showed at a recent conference plugs into a smartphone and can charge within two minutes. Another plus, it needs no outside microphone. But as with all new technology, there are still some growing pains. Current cochlear implant surgery takes between an hour and an hour and a half, while this new technology takes 3 to 4 hours to implant.

The game teaches seven specific skills that help children control their impulses, make good decisions, and avoid actions that are detrimental to themselves and others. The research-based skills learned in the game are: accepting delayed gratification; reading social cues; understanding the benefits of impulse control; developing positive internal speech; improving problem solving skills; understanding the consequences of impulsive actions; and improving the ability to stop a behavior and distractions. Since impulsive children tend to be experiential learners, a board game is an ideal medium to teach the skills. The game box includes a teacher booklet with complete lesson plans, suggested one-on-one coaching activities, a list of activities to give to parents that will help them reinforce the skills learned in the game. Grades 2 - 7; Playing time: 30 minutes (or longer if desired) .

Data Structures and Algorithms
|Longest Common Subsequence
Another problem that has a dynamic solution is that
of finding the longest common subsequence.
Given two sequences of symbols, X and Y,
determine the longest subsequence of symbols that appears
in both X and Y.
Cormen, Section 16.3
Lecture notes by Kirk Pruhs, University of Pittsburgh
Pseudo-code from John Stasko's notes for CS3158 at Georgia Tech
- optimal sub-structure
- a property of optimisation problems in which the sub-problems
which constitute the solution to the problem itself are themselves
optimal solutions to those sub-problems.
This property permits the construction of dynamic algorithms to
solve the problem.

Scrap/Waste Material Storage: Stormwater Compliance Photo Comparison
Bales stored inside and properly maintained.
This is an example of material that has been properly secured in bales and is stored within a building so that it does not come in contact with stormwater. The bales are also stored in such a way to avoid damage that could cause them to break apart.
Bales of Corrugated stored in semi trailer
This another example of how baled material is properly secured in bales and protected from stormwater exposure by storing it in a semi-trailer.
Corrugated spilled on parking lot (a.k.a. storage yard)
Material strewn about can contaminate the stormwater and restrict the flow of stormwater to the sewer systems or to unpaved surfaces for absorption. This can lead to localized flooding as well as debris other contaminants entering the stormwater. The material should be secured in bales or containers and stored with container covers or under a structure, such as a canopy or within a building, that prevents it from coming in contact with stormwater.

Eight weird spindle-like galaxies discovered by astronomers
IBTimes - Friday, 13 October 2017 (4 days ago)
Scientists have discovered eight new spindle-like galaxies—huge structures once thought to be extremely rare features of the cosmos. Traditionally, we think of galaxies as being flat rotating disks made up of billions of stars, with a black hole at their center. However, scientists also know of another type known as "prolate rotators." These are cigar-shaped galaxies that rotate along their axis making it look like a spindle. Until now, only a handful of which had ever been observed, making astronomers think they were extremely rare.

What is Cardiomyopathy?
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that can cause heart muscle tissue to become thick or rigid. There are four main types of Cardiomyopathy, each with different symptoms and ramifications for the patient. While the disease is not currently curable, when treated properly, those diagnosed can lead long and fulfilling lives.
How Will My Lifestyle Change?
Some people with the disease show very few symptoms and require little or no treatment. For others, changes to lifestyle, medicines, surgery, and/or implanted devices may be required to control symptoms and stop escalation of the disease.
Some lifestyle changes commonly recommended after Cardiomyopathy diagnosis include:
- Healthy dieting including low fat, low sodium, and low sugar foods
- Weight loss
- Increasing physical activity
- Reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption
- Quitting smoking
- Losing excess weight
- Avoiding the use of alcohol and illegal drugs
- Getting enough sleep and rest
- Reducing stress
Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications to treat underlying conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Consult your doctor before making drastic lifestyle changes.

Lake Mead B-29 Bomber
We’re nearing the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. Many of the men and women who fought that war, and the machines they used to win it, are slowly disappearing. One plane built for the war is being preserved at the bottom of an Arizona lake. It’s available for the truly adventurous to explore. In 1948, that B-29 bomber was flying low over Lake Mead when the pilots lost depth perception. The plane hit the water at more than 200 miles per hour, three of the four engines were torn off, and the plane later sank to the bottom. Sitting upright the crew survived, but because of the nature of the mission, the crash was kept secret for 50 years.

PET/CT Scan Positron emission tomography (PET)/(CT) Closer Look Imaging's equipment uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers, a special camera and a computer to help evaluate your organ and tissue functions. By identifying body changes at the cellular level, PET may detect the early onset of disease before it is evident on other imaging tests. CAT scanning is a painless and a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. CT uses a lithely thin special beam to produce detailed, cross sectional views of the area being studied. CT is the most often the preferred method of diagnosing causes of pain and various forms of oncological studies.

Today, this piece of furniture is ubiquitous in homes, but prior to its innovation in the late 1680s in France, no such piece existed. People sat on hard, straight-backed chairs (though that changed around this time, too), or on trunks. Padded seating was an utterly unrealized concept.
This new seat encapsulated a move toward comfort that began in France around 1670, and lasted until 1765.
In that relatively short period of time, many of the things that we still associate with comfortable living—private bedrooms and baths, loose-fitting cotton clothing, indoor toilets and padded furniture—came into being and flourished. In ways both big and small, these ideas about comfort forever changed the way people lived. DeJean writes, “The age of comfort can be said to have created a blueprint for today’s home and the way we live in it.”
How you want to live a life of comfort is decided by you. Email: info(AT)centrepiece.com.sg

The common Egyptian used a shorthand form of writing called hieratics. It derived from hieroglyphics but was used alongside it (it didn't replace hieroglyphics). While the monument carvers still used hieroglyphics, merchants and traders and everyone else was using hieratics to write their grocery lists and love notes.
The priests and scribes would often use both hieroglyphics and hieratic in important documents and religious texts, like you can see in the example above (hieratics make up the main body of thetext on the bottom, but hieroglyphs are used on the top of the picture). They would usually write these documents on papyrus, a type of woven paper, or sometimes on animal skins--both of which were time consuming to make and therefor expensive. But the common people, the laborers and farmers and traders, if they could write wrote their hieratic notes on flat limestone rocks, and broken bits of pottery, which were cheap and readily available.

“Good Land” shows two depictions of one map. On one side, it contains some original place names, and markings that show an Indigenous world view of land. So for example it may be marked with “fasting site” or “place of the little people” – on the other, the words have been taken from existing historical maps which have words such as “good land” “rough land unfit for civilization” “this is now called the County of Simcoe” and “Part of Canada”. Its been said that more Indigenous territory has been stolen with mapping than by guns (Bernard Nietschmann). “Good land” was an actual map made along the North Shore of Lake Huron in 1856 by Albert Salter, who started to mark out the resources in the territory. A map that affects us today.

Candi Pengkalan Bujang is believed to have built between the 10th and 14th century. The site was identified by Dr. Quaritch Wales during his scouting trips carried out between 1936 and 1937. Excavation works started in 1974 and were carried out by the Department of Museums and Antiquities. From 1986 to 1991, the Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum collaborated with professors and students from the History Faculty, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia to carry out an excavation project at the complex in Mukim Bujang, especially at Site 23.
This led to the discovery of six stupas covering an area of 3.5 hectares. The architecture of these stupas had influences from both Hinduism and Buddhism cultures.

What's the Latest Development?
Dr. Bhatia and Dr. von Maltzahn of M.I.T. were inspired by the natural process of corporeal cell communication, specifically the way that injured tissue calls for help to stem bleeding, to develop a system where nanoparticles carry cancer treatment drugs directly to malignant cells. "They wondered if they might be able to piggyback on this system to deliver drugs to tumours—and they found that they could. ... To do so, they realised that they would need two types of nanoparticles." Signalling nanoparticles and receiving nanoparticles simulated the body's own communication network.
What's the Big Idea?
In recent years, the use of drug-carrying particles a few nanometres across has improved cancer treatment. "Such particles can be tailored to release their payloads only when the surrounding environment indicates that they are near a tumour, thus reducing collateral damage." The result of Dr Bhatia and Dr von Maltzahn's work is "a delivery system 40-times more effective than using nanoparticles by themselves. Moreover, in mice, at least, it shrinks cancers more effectively than other nanoparticle-based treatments. Work on men (and women) should follow soon."

Upstream is a term used to describe something that is located opposite the direction of transcription; that is, in a 3' → 5' direction along a strand of DNA or RNA.
The 3' (pronounced three prime) end of a genetic molecule, whether it be DNA or RNA, is the one with a hydroxyl group (OH) hanging off the end of the pentose sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), or more specifically from the sugar's 3' carbon atom. If we continue with the river analogy that upstream or downstream uses, the 3' end would be in the direction the river flows in, ultimately ending at the river's mouth.
The 5' (five prime) end is the one with a loose phosphate group hanging off the end of the sugar's 5' carbon. In the river analogy, this would be the source.
It's actually much clearer with a picture.

all the extension of all the land areas of our planet is less than the surface of the pacific ocean, did you know that? it means that we can easily put together all the continents in that area and leaving the rest of the planet free. a sort of new pangea! look at that!
and this also means that in a traditional representation of the world common to the european way of drawing it the real extension of the waters in our planet could be represented proportionally in this way... interesting, not?
the necessary deformations of the continents inside the shape of the pacific ocean have been made with the software called Alterntive World Map Creator

COA has teamed-up with Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) to spearhead a campaign to remove the appalling accumulation of litter washing-up on the tidal portions of the Delaware along the New Jersey shoreline. These extraordinary ‘hotspots’ of debris are unsightly and harmful to wildlife.
A preliminary assessment conducted in 2015 estimated that there are over 2.8 million pieces of debris. The areas are challenging and isolated, making them difficult to access, and challenging to address, which is likely why they are accumulating such large amounts of litter. If the areas are not managed, the debris will continue to float downstream, eventually washing into the sea where it will remain persistently harming and killing marine life.
Since cleanup events are important gateway experiences for advocacy, COA and students at the RVCC are bringing the Beach Sweeps to those ‘hotspots’ this coming Fall!
Be on the lookout for ways to help with this new cleanup effort at cleanoceanaction.org!

Socio-political developments in the Limpopo Valley are of considerable
interest to Iron Age archaeologists and some have suggested a pivotal
role for cattle within this context, especially during the Middle
Iron Age. In the past, many faunal assemblages from the region were
quantified using the Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI) only.
In this study, the Cattle Index, which measures the ratio of cattle to
sheep/goats in a faunal assemblage, is applied to archaeofauna from the
Limpopo Valley, as well as to other Iron Age samples for which
onlyMNIsare available. The resulting Cattle Indices show that wealth
was not based on cattle alone in the Limpopo Valley. Most faunal
samples from the Early and Middle Iron Ages are dominated by
sheep/goats. However, exceptions occur at KwaGandaganda, Mamba,
Bosutswe and Nqoma. During the Late Iron Age, most assemblages
are dominated by cattle. We consider potential reasons for the identified
Early and Middle Iron Age exceptions, and also for variable livestock
numbers in general.

Deep-sky viewing can be challenging. A dark sky is essential, because most of these objects are faint and diffuse. A few can be seen with the naked eye. Binoculars pointed at the various sections of the Milky Way will reveal many small hazy patches, mostly open star clusters. Telescopes of increasing aperture will bring hundreds or thousands of objects into view, most of them galaxies at the very edge of visibility.
Finding deep-sky objects is not trivial and requires a thorough knowledge of the sky. Some of the more expensive telescope options are computers that allow a user to "dial in" the celestial coordinates of a selected object, but most deep-sky observers delight in the fun of the chase. Star-hopping is the most frequently used method. An observer becomes familiar with the naked-eye stars in an area, and then uses them to point the way to an object visible in binoculars or a telescope. A star atlas is essential for making one's way through a field of faint stars to find a fainter object. Deep-sky observers have the most to gain by staying away from light pollution and allowing their eyes to dark-adapt.

Neuroscientists have been mapping the physical anatomy of the human brain for over a century, but until recently researchers lacked a clear and comprehensive picture of which genes are used frequently and which are largely dormant in the myriad parts of this complex organ.
In 2012 a team at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle published the Allen Human Brain Atlas, which includes data on the activity of almost every gene at hundreds of locations inside the brains of five men and one woman. For comparison, the team had earlier produced an atlas of the mouse brain. The databases for these atlases, along with a viewer application called Brain Explorer, are freely available online.

LARGE INTESTINE Appendix: Worm like structure, no function. Inflammation???
COLON (4) Ascending = goes up Transverse = across Descending = goes down Sigmoid = bending part
LARGE INTESTINE Rectum: Collects feces and expels Very Muscular
LARGE INTESTINE Defecation: Expelling of waste, some conscious control
LARGE INTESTINE ANUS: External opening Two anal sphincter 1. Interior = involuntary 2. Exterior = voluntary
DISORDERS Diarrhea: NOT enough water absorbed by the colon.
As part of the digestion process, or due to fluid intake, food is mixed with large amounts of water. Thus, digested food is essentially liquid prior to reaching the colon. The colon absorbs water, leaving the remaining material as a semisolid stool. If the colon is damaged or inflamed, however, absorption is inhibited, and watery stools result.
DISORDERS Constipation: TOO much water absorbed by the large intestine. Make sure you drink plenty of water and eat more fiber
DISORDERS Hemorrhoids: Large veins inflamed in rectum and anus

Golestan National Park is a vast and unique wildlife refuge between Golestan province and Khorasan in the northeast of Iran. This national park is more than 91,000 hectares in area with 1350 flora and 302 fauna species and it has been registered as a rich biosphere by the UNESCO.
This forest is so stunning and the weather is fresh due to the dense forests and the mild humidity. Many believe that the best time for camping and trekking in the safe areas of this forest heaven is during autumn. The long-standing trees colored in different shades of red, yellow, and orange, the high waterfalls and springs are so scenic and walking through the forest, listening to the birds and photographing the beautiful landscapes in Golestan National Park is a great choice for having a nature tour during autumn and winter in Iran.

Seen here is a view looking West down Sparks Street from what is now the location of the National Arts Centre. The photo shows a clear picture of Elgin Street crossing Sparks Street, where typical 1930’s streetcars are a popular mode of transportation.
The city is an evolving organism, growing and changing right alongside our fast-paced, technology-driven world. But have you ever wondered how certain world altering technologies, such as the streetcar, and ultimately the automobile, have changed the landscape of our cities? How will the next 80 years of technology influence our urban design? And with technology changing so quickly, can we even predict how our city will change over the next 10 or 20 years?
Can we dare hope for an even greater pedestrianization of the city? Or should we focus on saving Sparks first?

I recently found a stink bug in my kitchen. It was a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys). This invasive insect is native to Japan, Korea and China. The first North America record was from Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1998 and it reached Michigan in 2011.
The adults overwinter in houses, barns, garages, and outbuildings. Adults are 12-16mm [1/2-5/8 inch] long and shaped like a shield. Their antennae are dark with light bands. Light spots are also found on the edges of their bodies. This is the only species of stink bug commonly found inside a house during our Michigan winter. It can occur by the hundreds in some homes.
Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs will not bite humans. They can be a major pest on fruit trees and damage the leaves and fruit of apples, pears, peaches, cherries, corn, tomatoes, peppers, soybeans, and others. Luckily they only raise one brood in Michigan.

A new German study reveals that the country must halve its CO2 output, compared to current levels by 2020 and cut emissions to zero by 2030, if it remains committed to reaching the internationally agreed target of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
The WBGU scientists estimate that no more than 750 billion tons of CO2 can be emitted by all countries collectively between now and 2050 if there is to be a 67 percent chance of the 2-degree goal being met. The target was set at July’s G-8 summit in the Italian town of L’Aquila, where leading developed nations discussed measures to limit the effects of global warming.
To maintain the effort of realistically reducing the total global CO2 emissions, German climatologists are pushing for the creation of a “world climate bank” in which industrialized nations purchase emission rights from less developed countries. via Spiegel Online

CUPISNIQUE: A style of pottery of the north coast of Peru during the Early Horizon, and a local variant of Chavín culture. It is most often associated with graves and is characteristically a polished gray–black ware with globular bodies, stirrup spouts, and relief decoration. Early Cupisnique tends to be strongly modeled by plastic manipulation of the surface. In later phases, red and black banding, separated by incision and life modeling, especially stylized felines, appear. The style dates from 900–200 bc and gave rise to three other styles: Salinar, Gallinazo, and Vicus.

The long-billed thrasher is a medium sized passerine that is found in south Texas, eastern Mexico and parts of northern Central America. They are typically found in arid, scrubby habitat. where they forage in the scrub and on the ground for spiders and insects. They will also eat fruit to supplement their diet.
Even though they are called a long-billed thrasher their bill is not very long. There are even other species of thrashers that have longer bills, however the more common brown thrasher overlaps the long-billed thrashers range and the long-billed thrasher does have a longer bill than the brown thrasher. Even though they are a part of the mimid family of birds they are not known for their mimicry. At times though they will leave their scrub hiding places to come out and sing their song, which is long, rich and complex.

Alle, Girolamo, an Italian friar, was a native of Bologna, and lived in the first half of the 17th century. He entered the Brotherhood of St. Jerome at Fiesola, taught theology at Bologna, and succeeded to the highest honors of his order. He studied literature, together with the ecclesiastical sciences. He distinguished himself as a preacher, and published his sermons, together with certain works of poetry, among others four representations, a species of sacred drama, which were printed successively at Bologna from 1641 to 1650. Another ethical work has its title, Il Concatenato Sconcatenamento de' Pensieri, Parole et Attioni Umane ch' e Letto e Practicato Concatena le Virti nell' Animo, e li Sconcatena i Vitii, etc. (Bologna, 1653).

why did the cold war start and when
The Cold War began shortly after the end of World War II in 1945. The reason the Cold War started was the the Soviet Union (Russia) violated international agreements about how war-torn Europe would be governed and rebuilt. One such agreement they violated was that territories recaptured from Germany would be given democratic elections. Instead of instituting democratic elections, the Russians set up what were essentially puppet communist governments controlled by the Soviet Union. Angered by this, the United States and the other western democracies refused to "appease" Russia as they had Germany prior to World War II. Instead, they instituted a policy of containment, in which they would not fight the Soviets directly but would seek to prevent them from expanding their territory and ideology into new places. This is why the United States fought several conflicts to promote democracy and prevent communism from spreading during the Cold War.

Georgia O'Keeffe - Black Iris No. 2 (1936)
Iris was a Greek goddess who, with her male counterpart Hermes, carried messages between the gods and humans. Her symbol is the rainbow – the bridge between heaven and earth. One of Iris’s duties was to guide dying women to the Elysian Fields. In ancient Greece the graves of women were covered with irises.
The significance of the iris was not lost on American painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986). She was fascinated with the iris' resemblance to the female reproductive organs and explored its form in magnified views of its blossoms.
The iris is also the symbol of "Eyes on the Prize", an organisation that provides information and support for gynechological cancer patients.

The 5th graders have become architects, designing buildings for teachers throughout our school. With every student designing a different type of architecture, every student also has been learning different vocabulary words, such as: turrets, shutters, cupolas, shingles, Colonial-style, and domes. Every week in the beginning of class, students have been teaching each other the words that they are now “masters” of. This culminated on Friday with a Jeopardy game, reviewing 20 architectural vocab words. The winning team from each class will be treated to a luncheon party next Friday!
The final Jeopardy question was: First invented by the ancient Greeks, this is the word for an outdoor theater.
Do You know the answer?!

Impersonal expressions are phrases where there isn’t a real subject. For instance, in the phrase “It is snowing” (Il neige), “it” doesn’t refer to anything. It’s a dummy subject that exists just to maintain the sentence structure.
One of the most common impersonal expressions is il y a, which is an idiom for “there is” or “there are”.
- Il y a une fille ici. — There is a girl here.
- Il y a un serpent dans ma botte ! — There’s a snake in my boot!
You will learn more about impersonal expressions in “V. Pres 1”.

On 22 September 1950, FIFA reinstated the German football association - the Deutscher Fußball-Bund, or DFB - to full membership.
Originally founded in 1900, the DFB is the governing body of all German football, including the Bundesliga and the German national team. During World War II, the DFB fell out of favor with the Third Reich, who dissolved the organization in 1940. After the war, in November 1945, although the DFB was still defunct, FIFA banned both it and the Japanese football association from international competition.
Following appeals from the FAs of Switzerland and England, FIFA partially lifted the ban in 1948, but only as it applied to German clubs. Two years later, in January 1950, the DFB officially re-formed, though only for the West German territories. At the FIFA congress in June of that year, Switzerland again petitioned FIFA to lift the ban and, on 22 September, FIFA did so. As West Germany, the DFB resumed international competition later that year and went on to win the 1954 World Cup.
When Germany reunited in 1990, the DFB absorbed the former East German football association to become the governing body for all of Germany.

An art school established in 1875 when that of the National Academy of Design temporarily closed because of financial difficulties. Unlike the Academy School (which reopened in 1877), the Art Students League had no entrance requirements and no set course. Its more progressive methods soon attracted many students—by the turn of the century the enrolment stood at nearly a thousand and it was established as the most important art school in the country. The teachers have included Benton, Chase, Eakins, Henri, Saint-Gaudens, and Sloan; and the students have included many of the most illustrious figures in 20th-century American art. In addition to its work as a teaching institution, the Art Students League has a substantial permanent collection (including many works by distinguished staff and students) and holds frequent temporary exhibitions.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
A large ground-dwelling South American bird related to the bustards, with a long neck and legs and a crest above the bill.
Family Cariamidae: two genera and species
- ‘There are trumpeters, cariamas, and the limpkin in South America; sungrebes in South America, Africa, and southeastern Asia; and mesites on Madagascar.’
- ‘Another clue comes from the predatory habits of the closest living relatives of terror birds - seriema.’
- ‘And indeed, today's two species of seriema in southern South America appear to be derived from Pleistocene fossil birds which were once giant, flightless predators (known as phorusrhacoids) of now-extinct fauna.’
Mid 19th century: modern Latin, from Tupi siriema ‘crested’.

Following the defeat of the Reform Bill and of the Liberal government in June 1866, there were demonstrations all over the country. On June 29th 10,000 people assembled in Trafalgar Square and marched to Gladstone’s house before dispersing peacefully. In July members of the Reform League marched to Hyde Park from different parts of London intending to hold a public meeting in a park which was at that time considered exclusive to the middle-class. The Home Secretary ordered the gates to be closed, so the marchers repaired to Trafalgar Square, but some of those who had joined the marchers en route tore down the railings, invaded the park – to the consternation of the bourgeois walkers – and trampled the flower beds! …

Lynn is a designer of handmade floral lampwork beads. She makes each bead using her torch and melts glass into beautiful tiny flowers and roses. She say’s she has obsessive torch disorder and a serious addiction to glass. You can see her creations at brilynn.etsy.com.
What is Lampworking?
Lampworking is a type of glasswork that uses a gas fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking. Lampworking is used to create artwork, including figurines, trinkets, ornaments, beads and much more.
Designing a Bead
After designing a piece, a lampworker must plan how to construct it. Once ready to begin, the lampworker slowly introduces glass rod or tubing into the flame to prevent cracking. The glass is heated until molten, wound around a specially-coated steel mandrel, forming the base bead. It can then be embellished or decorated using a variety of techniques and materials. All parts of the workpiece must be kept at similar temperatures lest they shatter. Once finished the piece must be annealed in an oven to prevent cracking or shattering.

The research was carried out by a team of researchers from the University of Navarra and Álvaro Alonso, currently a researcher in the School of Public Health at Harvard University who is the lead author of the article.
This was a study which evaluated the relationship between the consumption of milk products and the risk of developing arterial hypertension. They performed a research project that followed 6,000 people over the course of two years.
Those persons with an elevated consumption of skimmed milk and milk products showed a reduction of 50% in their risk of developing hypertension, compared with those with a low consumption or who did not consume these products. Nevertheless, no relationship was encountered between the consumption of whole milk products and the risk of hypertension.
These results can contribute to a clearer definition of dietary guidelines for the prevention of arterial hypertension, say the authors. In particular, although data from prior studies indicated a possible preventative role of lactose products in the development of arterial hypertension, these results have been the first to demonstrate that this association exists in adults.

In this “age of information,” news and facts are more accessible than ever before. Yet the true power is not in harboring knowledge, but rather the ability to analyze, interpret, and make connections to the larger picture. The role of the teacher as simply the source of information has become obsolete with the rise of easily obtainable factual knowledge. Today, educators have a much more difficult task: to help students sort through the expanse of data in order to be creative, innovative problem-solvers. In my classroom, interdisciplinary co-learning begins with inquiry and focuses on broad themes that are intimately connected to the larger world. I seek to create a learning environment that is not a bubble, but rather a permeable space where we invite in other disciplines and seek to share what we learn and experience with the world around us. I believe that all classrooms, and visual art classrooms in particular, are avenues for developing critical thinking skills that will deeply enrich students’ lives far beyond the reaches of the classroom. I will know my students have been successful if they become curious, confident, and empowered to seek out information on their own.

NSW councils are key players in adaptation to climate change. They have responsibility for a broad range of functions that are likely to be affected, such as public infrastructure, local emergency responses, building regulation and planning, public health and environmental management.
With each local government area having a unique set of geographical, environmental, economic and social circumstances, the effects and risks of climate change will differ. Early planning and preparation can minimise long-term economic, social and environmental costs to communities.
For this reason, the NSW Government has provided the following information for councils to help residents understand, prepare for and minimise the impacts of future extreme events and hazards caused by climate change.

The mayor of Flint, Michigan, has declared that the level of lead in the city's drinking water constitutes a state of emergency, the Washington Post writes Tuesday. The city began using the Flint River as its water source in 2014, and a September study found that the rate of infants and children with elevated levels of lead in their blood has since nearly doubled*:
Mayor Karen Weaver says that the potential impact of lead poisoning on the physical and mental health of Flint children will require federal resources that can only be accessed by making the emergency declaration. (Lead has particularly damaging effects on children.) The city previously declared a "public health emergency" in October.
The city of Flint was for many decades a center of manufacturing operations for General Motors and related companies; a 2003 study called the automotive industry the "leading remaining source of lead pollution" in North America.
*Correction, Jan. 12, 2016: This post originally stated in error that a study found that the number of infants and children in Flint with above-average levels of lead in their blood had doubled. What the study found was the rate of children with "elevated levels" of lead in their blood as defined by Centers for Disease Control standards had doubled.

No contact required: Digital inkjet printing enables new applications
By understanding the science, we are able to improve products and processes, and to “drop-on-demand” (digital) printing onto a wider range of materials.
As a non-contact form of printing, “drop-on-demand” inkjet is an important enabling technology, and can be used with a very wide range of substrates including plastics, metals and glass, even on curved surfaces. As no direct pressure is involved, inkjet printing can be invaluable for printing onto delicate substrates such as thin glass, or for printed electronic circuits. Digital printing also provides good control of (expensive) materials and enables improved environmental processes by placing tiny liquid droplets when and where required, for manufacture and graphics applications.
Steve demonstrates video close-ups of inkjets using a very high speed camera taking images every 2 micro-seconds. Video sequences from inkjet studies with colleagues Rafael Castrejón-Pita, Wen-Kai Hsiao and Ching-Hsien Chen are also featured, or visible on monitors in the background.

Ever wonder what the f-number of your eyes are? It can easily be calculated using the human eye’s focal length (~22mm) and physical aperture size. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say:
Computing the f-number of the human eye involves computing the physical aperture and focal length of the eye. The pupil can be as large as 6?7 mm wide open, which translates into the maximum physical aperture.
The f-number of the human eye varies from about f/8.3 in a very brightly lit place to about f/2.1 in the dark. The presented maximum f-number has been questioned, as it seems to only match the focal length that assumes outgoing light rays. According to the incoming rays of light (what we actually see), the focal length of the eye is a bit longer, resulting in minimum f-number of f/3.2.
The article also notes that the eye cannot be considered an ordinary air-filled camera since it’s filled with light refracting liquid.

|We are frequently asked about breeding terms - what is crossbreeding? outcrossing? line breeding? and inbreeding?
'Cross breeding' generally refers to the mating of two animals of different breeds. In the case of a Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel, the offspring is sometimes referred to as a Cockapoo. Some distinctive new breeds of cats have been created in this manner.
'Outcrossing' refers to the breeding of two unrelated animals within the same breed. This is occasionally done by breeders to bring in 'new blood' or more specifically a new gene pool, to their breeding program.
'Line breeding' is the basis for establishing a good breeding program. It is the breeding of genetically related individuals that are not closely related. An example would be the mating of two cousins. Line breeding is done to concentrate the desirable genes found within related individuals.
'Inbreeding' is the mating of closely genetically related individuals. An example would be the breeding of a brother and sister. This type of breeding should only be attempted by expert breeders who have a thorough understanding of their pets' genetic pool. Although undesirable characteristics can surface with any type of breeding, they are most likely to be exposed with inbreeding.

The cultivation of celery
Celery is a vegetable that produces a large tuft of stiff leaves, with a fleshy stalk. It is grown from seed, which is started in the nursery from February to March, and is kept in a warm and sheltered place until the plants can be moved in the spring. The plants, with a minimum height of 12-17 cm, are planted in files, and placed in a sunny place in a soil enriched with manure and well drained. Watering should take place with good regularity, in order to avoid leaving the soil dry for a long time, with periodic weeding to remove weeds. Collect the entire tuft of fleshy leaves, cutting it from the base; this is a biennial plant, so it is therefore possible to grow it for many months, removing the leaves as necessary from time to time, as in this case, with the passage of the months the leaves become more leathery and aromatic, and need to be protected with non-woven fabric during the winter.

Did you know that at least half of all babies born with a heart condition are not diagnosed during pregnancy? Heart defects can seriously impact a child’s health, but knowing ahead of time will allow you to find the right people who can help. In some cases, prenatal detection can lead to earlier treatment for the baby.
Watch this short video to learn what to ask at your 18- to 22-week screening ultrasound to make sure your baby’s heart is healthy. If you don’t feel comfortable asking the questions yourself, download the questions and share them with the person performing your ultrasound.
Taking a few extra moments at your ultrasound is an important first step to managing your child’s health. Your baby might not be born yet, but they’re already counting on you.

Think about your work in our class so far. How did Project 1 go? What was easy, difficult, boring or fun? Describe any previous learning experiences (both in and out of school) that were helpful in Project 1 OR are made it more difficult. For example, some 1020 students have observed that their experiences with literary analysis in high school English classes have helped them with genre analysis, while others have complained the opposite. Think about your own experiences: what is your response? Write about how your prior writing knowledge from another discourse community (maybe even the one you just studied) might be helpful or a hindrance in ENG 1020.

Things you don't always think about. According to a study by Pia Sundqvist and Liss Kerstin Sylvén, games like WoW are causing boys in Sweden to pick up English faster. Essentially, by playing multi-player games where the language of choice is English, the boys are learning the language faster in order to increase their proficiency at the games in question. There's also discussion of WoW in Schools, a program designed around using the MMO to instruct.
What's interesting to me in the Slate article is the reference to situated meaning, the concept that something is easier to learn if it has a context provided by actions rather than simply being told its definition. It's easier for people to learn what words mean if they're using the words to mean things, rather than simply reading what they mean. That fascinates me - it actually makes me want to start playing WoW on a server where the language is one I want to learn. Maybe I need an EU account.
For the complete article, head over to Slate and give it a read.

The weight of an object varies inversely as the square of its distance from the center of the Earth. If an object at sea level (3978 mi from the center of the earth) weighs 220 lb, find its weight when it's 200 mi above the surface of the earth.
No! If we're going to be consistent we have to use 3,978 miles plus 200 miles (= 4178 miles) as the distance the object is from the center of the earth. Remember, the problem states that the object is 200 miles above the surface of the earth, not the center of the earth.
w = 3,481,386,480 lb mi-2/(4178 mi)2
w = 3,481,386,480 lb mi-2/(17455684 mi2)
w = 199.441 lb

Here is a superb block of Portland Limestone known as the Roach and containing the high spired snail Aptyxiella portlandica, the ‘Portland screw’, another type of snail and the bivalve shells of Myophorella. The insides of the shells have been filled with sediment to produce internal casts. The gaps are holes where the shells has been dissolved.
The Roach is the very youngest of the Portland Limestone rocks, and the youngest marine jurassic rock in Dorset. The Portland Limestone was deposited in increasingly shallow seas. Directly above the Roach is an eroded surface and a dirt bed or fossil soil.

Syntropic Agriculture has been modelled on natural principles and uses soil recovery techniques that through planting methods, mimic the natural regeneration of forests. Gotsch developed these principles and techniques that enable the integration of food production with the natural regeneration of forests.
It is a system that produces its own organic matter through the practice of pruning, which constantly increases the resources available while boosting root activity and encouraging a higher rate of photosynthesis, which leads to more carbon being sequestered.
Life in Syntropy demonstrates how it’s possible to not only restore damaged soil but also create a system that is productive and profitable. As Pedro Diniz, CEO Fazenda da Toca, points out “If we changed our perception and recognised nature as a great ally, a great inspiration, we would really change the way we behave towards the planet.”

This thesis examines how clowning and improvisation can help students in the ESL classroom. Clowning and improvisation was taught in a 6th grade ESL classroom and its effectiveness discussed. This thesis discusses the basics of clowning and why it is helpful when helping students feel at ease with speaking English. I also describe how it can be used and suggest drama-related games that are helpful.
The conclusion is that drama-related games help students have fun while learning a new language and exploring the use of the language in an everyday setting. Drama-related games are an important addition to the ESL classroom as they enrich and lighten the atmosphere and students learn whilst playing.

Australian Children's Folklore Collection
The Australian Children's Folklore Collection (ACFC), housed in the Museum of Victoria, is Australia's only public archive of children's folklore.
It contains games, rhymes, jokes, riddles, superstitions and other kinds of child lore from the 1940s to the present. The collection includes photographs, audio and video tapes, documents, drawings, play artefacts and over 10,000 card files.
It contains specialist collections of children's lore, including the Dorothy Howard Collection and children's Museum Collection.
The ACFC is used for research purposes by scholars from a variety of disciplines and by writers, journalists and others interested in childhood and folklore.
It is a 'living' archive - it continues to grow and is open to the public. The Australian Children's Folklore Collection is an archive, it does not have a display space.

Child labor is affecting children around the world. Millions of children have to work to help their families. Most of these children have never been to school.
Child labor is a problem that affects millions of children around the world. They are deprived of a normal childhood. They work in fields or factories for hours. They send the little money they earn to their families.
Education is the key to ending child labor. In Kenya, the government banned a luxury school fee. People in Asia must work to end child labor. The United Nation in Kenya is reforming child labor.
In conclusion, child labor is a problem that must be stopped. People are trying to get children out of the fields and into the classroom.
Teacher comments: Good conclusion!
I read this and it made me cry – with joy, that Josh understood the implications of the topic, with love because he embraces our values & beliefs and with pride, because he works so hard to achieve what so many other children take for granted…
I love you sweetie!! You make me so proud to be your Mommy!

On May 5, 1882, United States forces aided the Mexican army, led by Texas-born General Zaragosa, in defeating French invaders. Traditionally seen as a Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the union of two countries to defeat a common foe.
The United States, in helping Mexico retain its independence, gained an ally that was eager to help fight with Americans during World World II. Thousands of Mexicans crossed the border after Pearl Harbor to fight along-side their new friends. So while Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday, it is also widely celebrated in the United States.
And even though we can’t claim it officially as ours, it’s one of those fun holidays, like St. Patrick’s Day, that we don’t want to miss!

By Dr. Marciene Mattleman
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – There’s little research about the cultural relevance in books and reading achievement at young ages.
Teachers and academics would like to see books about those of all origins. An article in The New York Times points out, however, that the absence of Hispanic children in books is troubling. If kids read only Judy Blume books with white and adventuresome characters only, “they start thinking of their language…and values as not belonging in school.” asserts, Mariano Souto-Manning who teaches at Columbia University.
Advocates are concerned about tokenism but publishers are trying. Mia is a major Latina character in a new series, “The Cupcake Diaries.” Houghton Mifflin allocates 18.6% of content to Latino characters – reflecting student demographics.
Teachers at Bayard Taylor elementary school in Philadelphia note that in the few available books about Hispanics, there are stereotypes of migrant workers or special holidays. It would be good to say to a child, “Read this book. The book reminds me of you,” and raise low proficiency rates of Hispanic children.

A major contributor to inefficiency and/or errors in the day-to-day operation of ion implanters is a lack of general understanding of the basic underlying concepts and cause-and-effect relationships associated with this most difficult wafer process. This course focuses on the entire implant production process, from plasma generation (source) to ion transport (scanning, vacuum) to ion measurement (dosimetry). This course introduces the common language of ion implantation as used in todays modern wafer fab. Graphics, illustrations, and quizzes are utilized to provide a stimulating and productive learning environment.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for operators, supervisors, new process and equipment technicians, and all other personnel who desire a common language that is useful in understanding the fundamentals of ion implantation equipment and the implant process.
Course Length: 2 days

One Piece (ワンピース Wan Piisu) is a Japanese shōnen manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since August 4, 1997; the individual chapters are being published in tankōbon volumes by Shueisha, with the first released on December 24, 1997, and the 68th volume released as of November 2012. One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a young man whose body gains the properties of rubber after unintentionally eating a Devil's Fruit, and his diverse crew of pirates, named the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy explores the ocean in search of the world's ultimate treasure known as One Piece in order to become the next Pirate King.
The series begins with the execution of Gol D. Roger, a man known as the King of the Pirates. Just before his death, Roger announces that his treasure, the One Piece, will be up for the taking, causing the Great Pirate Era to begin. As a result, countless pirates set out to the Grand Line to look for the treasure.

A quick pointer to today's A1 New York Times story on a phenomenon we've been following on this blog for the past year: as algorithmic entities explode across the web, humans remain central to their operation. Automation only goes so far and for all Watson's Jeopardy wins, there are still many, many tasks on which computers are terrible and humans are effortlessly amazing. Like understanding language, say, or knowing what's happening in a photograph.
There is an analogy to be made to one of Google's other impressive projects: Google Translate. What looks like machine intelligence is actually only a recombination of human intelligence. Translate relies on massive bodies of text that have been translated into different languages by humans; it then is able to extract words and phrases that match up. The algorithms are not actually that complex, but they work because of the massive amounts of data (i.e. human intelligence) that go into the task on the front end.
Google Maps has executed a similar operation. Humans are coding every bit of the logic of the road onto a representation of the world so that computers can simply duplicate (infinitely, instantly) the judgments that a person already made.

The Food Safety Survey is a periodic national telephone survey of adults (18 years and older) in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
2016 Food Safety Survey Report
2016 Food Safety Survey Presentation
FDA in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been commissioning the survey since 1988. The survey is intended to help FDA and USDA make informed regulatory, education, and other decisions by providing a better understanding of consumer knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to food safety.
The 2016 survey was the seventh iteration of the survey. It was the first time that the survey sampled cell phone users in addition to users of landline phones. This change was instituted to ensure that we could reach respondents who only have cell phones. The survey consisted of interviews with 4,169 participants between October 2015 and January 2016. An overview of the survey methodology is included at the end of the document.
