iOS App Dev 102: Programming Structures and Classes | 1.41 GB
English | 69 mins | AVC1 1280x720 24 fps | AAC 96 Kbps 48.0 KHz
Every Object in Objective-C has an inherited behavior which is called a Class. Understanding and customizing these behaviors is essential programming knowledge. In this second course in our iOS App Dev series you learn all about Objects and their Classes...
This iOS programming course is all about Objects and their Classes. Classes are like blueprints for Objects. They determine how Objects work and how they relate to the other Objects to which they�re connected. As you build an app using Objects, understanding their behaviors and how you can manipulate them allows you to go beyond the stock, inherited behaviors. This course brings comprehension to the concept of Inheritance and how to override it.
Next up is a look at blocks. Blocks are language level features that add functionality to the C language. Although the syntax is a bit obscure, this course shows you how to construct Blocks to add another level of programming finesse to your iOS projects.
The last tutorials in this course conclude with an in-depth examination of memory management. As a result, you leave the course with a thorough understanding of the latest version of Xcode and its ability to manage memory automatically using its built-in Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) functionality! So dive in and get an understanding of Objects, Classes and Blocks as you continue your iOS App Dev journey.
Be sure to check out our ever-expanding library of iOS and Windows app dev courses!

27. WHERE DOES ALL THE OIL GO?
The United States consumes roughly 20 million barrels per day (MMbpd) of crude oil. This is a phenomenal amount, and constitutes about 25% of the world's oil production. So where does it all go? The stats show that personal transport accounts for 45% of U.S. consumption -- about twice the consumption of trucking, aviation and shipping combined.
The breakdown for 2003 is:
Total oil consumption: 19.7 MMbpd
Transportation: 13.1 MMbpd
Autos/light trucks: 9 MMbpd
Medium/heavy trucks: 3.8 MMbpd
Jet fuel: 1.6 MMbpd
Feedstock: 3.5 MMbpd
The following description and Table give the exact figures:
C. Petroleum in the Current U.S. Economy The 39 quad consumption of oil in the U.S. in 2003 is equivalent to 19.7 million barrels of oil per day (MM bpd), including almost 13.1 MM bpd consumed by the transportation sector and 4.9 MM bpd by the industrial sector, as shown in Table III-1. This table also shows the petroleum fuel types consumed by each sector. Motor gasoline consumption accounted for 45 percent of U.S. daily petroleum consumption, nearly 9 MM bpd, almost all of which was used in autos and light trucks. Distillate fuel oil was the second-most consumed oil product at almost 3.8 MM bpd (19 percent of consumption), and most was used as diesel fuel for medium and heavy trucks. Finally, the third most consumed oil product was liquefied petroleum gases, at 2.2 MM bpd equivalent (11 percent of total consumption), most of which was used in the industrial sector as feedstock by the chemicals industry. Only two other consuming areas exceeded the 1 MM bpd level: kerosene and jet fuel in the transportation sector, primarily for airplanes, and "other petroleum" by the industrial sector, primarily petroleum feedstocks used to produce non-fuel products in the petroleum and chemical industries.
Source: U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration, Detailed annual petroleum consumption accounts by fuel and sector at www.eia.doe.gov, 2004. Cited in the Hirsch Report (pp. 21-22)(pdf format)
Peak oil is not a threat to the stability of civilization, world trade or global food supplies (or even the transport of food supplies). It is first and foremost a problem of massive fuel waste in private automobiles. Essentially, the entire production of Saudi Arabia is being burned everyday by Americans commuting to work and driving to the mall etc. Strictly speaking, none of that fuel consumption is necessary. It is a symptom of a wasteful, environmentally destructive car culture which needs to be brought under control.

Compound nouns (substantives and adjectives) are divided, according to their meaning, into three main classes: determinative, possessive, and prepositional-phrase, compounds.
a. The logical relation of the parts of compounds varies so greatly that boundary-lines between the different classes are difficult to set up, and a complete formal division is impossible. The poets show a much wider range of usage than the prose-writers.896
Determinative Compounds.—In most determinative compounds the first part modifies or determines the second part: the modifier stands first, the principal word second.
Thus by hand-work a particular kind of work is meant, as contrasted with machine-work; cp.
a. The first part may be an adjective, an adverb, a preposition, an inseparable prefix, or, in a few cases, a substantive.897
There are two kinds of determinative compounds.
(1) Descriptive determinative compounds.—The first part defines or explains the second part in the sense of an adjective or adverb. (This class is less numerous than the second class.)
a. Copulative compounds are formed by the coördination of two substantives or adjectives: ἰ_α_τρό-μαντις
b. Comparative compounds (generally poetic) are μελι-ηδής
(2) Dependent determinative compounds.—A substantive forming either the first or the second part stands in the sense of an oblique case (with or without a preposition) to the other part.
N. 1.—The Greeks did not think of any actual case relation as existing in these compounds, and the case relation that exists is purely logical. The same form may be analysed in different ways, as φιλάνθρωπος φιλῶν ἀνθρώπους or = φίλος ἀνθρώπων.
N. 2.—Such compounds may often be analysed by a preposition and a dependent noun: θεό-δμητος
Possessive Compounds.—In possessive compounds the first part defines the second as in determinatives; but the whole compound is an adjective expressing a quality, with the idea of possession understood. In most possessive compounds the idea of having (ἔχων) is to be supplied.
So, in English, redbreast is a bird having a red breast, the first part being an attribute of the second.
a. Adjectives in -ειδής from εἶδος
b. English possessive compounds in -ed apply that ending only to the compound as a whole and not to either member. In Milton: deep-throated, whitehanded, open-hearted; in Keats: subtle-cadenced. Besides those in -ed there are others such as
c. Many possessive compounds begin with α' (ν)-negative or δυς-
Prepositional-phrase Compounds.—Many phrases made of a preposition and its object unite to form a compound and take on adjectival inflection. Such compounds are equivalent to the phrases in question with the idea of being or the like added.
a. From such phrases are derived verbs and substantives: ἐγχειρίζω
b. The compounds of 899 represent bits of syntax used so frequently together that they have become adherent.

FC: THE TURTLE THAT INSPIRIED US | by Carol Arcomano
1: This book is inspired by the writing of Blocks to Robots (Bers, 2008) and written for Dr. Shamburg New Jersey City University EDTC 625 Using Integrated Technology June 2009
2: Technology has an impact on children's personal, social, and emotional lies from an early age. They first use computers at home for playing educational games, then in school for processing information and Internet research. | Introduction
3: As they grow, they use technology to build social networks - they communicate with friends, listen to music, meet new people, share stories, shop, email... As educators, it is our responsibility to lay a foundation for children's technological literacy and positive technological development to be good citizens (Bers 32).
4: Once upon a time there was a teacher and a classroom.
5: Blackboard, pencil, pen and paper. | And she taught the same way that she was taught. (Bers, 48)
6: She made us copy notes into a notebook. | I was TIRED!
7: She used flat maps and atlas's to teach geography. | I was TIRED!
8: She tested our math skills with standardized fact sheets. | Good Job | I was TIRED!
9: She had us look up large words in dictionaries. | I was TIRED! | 6 TH GRADE
10: How much longer will this go on?
11: WE'RE TIRED!!
12: Our teacher is TIRED!
13: WE WERE ALL BORED!!!
14: THEN ONE DAY WE HAD A VISITOR.
15: her NAME WAS marina bers.
16: H ? | we THOUGHT IT WAS Christmas, BECAUSE she BROUGHT US TOYS. yea!!
17: shE CALLED THEM LEGO'S
18: Marina Bers wrote the book, Blocks to Robots. (Bers, 2008)
19: She taught us that with Legos and robotics we can learn math and science. The combination of these tools teach us new ways to learn beyond the computer. They will engage us and help us to make positive and caring connections, collaborate, problem solve, work as a team and provide us with positive technological development (Bers, 32).
20: Marina Bers's mentor was Seymour Papert. He wrote a book called, Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas (Papert, 1980).
21: He talked about "constructionism" and how it's a theory of learning and a strategy for education. He said "it offers a technology-rich design-based learning environment in which learning happens best when children and adults are engaged in learning by making, creating, programming, discovering and designing their own "objects to think with" in a playful manner (Bers, 15).
22: Ms. Bers brought Mr. Papert's pet turtle to class. It was electronic and looked like a robot. She showed us how to move it with a hand-held remote control. It was so cool. Ms. Bers said we can make one with the Legos she brought us.
23: We couldn't wait to make our own. We wanted to learn!
24: "Our teacher learned new things as she helped us." | We worked together, shared ideas, and had FUN!
25: "We got frustrated, but we didn't give up." | But it's "hard fun" (Kay, 38) | Learning is hard.
26: We made amazing things. | Computer | Skyscrappers
27: Cars in motion | Ferris wheel | Robots
28: We experienced positive technological development and healthy "youth" develoment based on the six C's (Bers, 33). | Connection | Character | Competence | Confidence | Contribution | Caring
29: We were developing skills and ways of thinking needed to solve problems using technology in the classroom and in society (Bers, 122). | We had fun AND We felt like winners!
30: We all learned new and innovative ways to use technology in a positive and meaningful way to strengthen our learning... (Bers, 122).
31: We continue to learn new ways to learn using technology and robotics.
32: Our teacher is happy and excited to teach. | We all have a new vision on learning.
33: WE ARE HAPPY AND EXCITED TO LEARN.

Fresh breath can be obtained through daily hygiene and by avoiding foods that cause bad breath.
1Brush your teeth regularly. It is only through brushing your teeth at least twice a day that you will remove the bacteria responsible for causing foul odors (and decay) within your mouth area. In addition, floss each time too because flossing gets rid of bacteria that the brush cannot reach. You will immediately notice the fresher difference after flossing.
- Use a favorite flavor for the toothpaste but mint is a good one for a feel and smell of freshness.
2Avoid eating sugary foods and processed foods in great amounts. These foods are not healthy for your body and will be a source of both teeth decay and an unhealthy body. A body that isn't functioning optimally can release a bad odor through the mouth and through sweat, so feed yourself with cleansing, healthy, and unprocessed foods most of the time and your breath will be fresh.
3Chew gum. Chewing gum can help to remove bacteria from the teeth and tongue surface and the fresh taste of the gum can also improve your breath, especially if it is purpose-made for freshening breath.
4Eat a mint. There is a variety of candied mints on the market; look for one that best meets your needs.
5Chew on some parsley leaves. It may seem weird, but parsley leaves are rich in a chemical called chlorophyll, which helps freshen breath.
Things You'll Need
- Parsley leaves
- Chewing gum
- Toothbrush and toothpaste, floss

Usa, (PressExposure) October 17, 2008 -- Most children have no idea how good they have it. Any child who complains about small issues in life will be more content as well as inspired by reading Andrea White's touching new novel "Window Boy" ( [http://www.windowboy.org] ).
Sam Davis is a twelve-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. His father has abandoned him. His mother is too absorbed in her new boyfriend to pay attention to Sam. The boy appears to have little reason to live, but Sam reads about Winston Churchill, who inspires him never to give up, and he watches the basketball court from his window, wishing he could play. These interests set the foundation for change in Sam's life.
When Sam begins to attend school with other children, he faces many challenges, but he hears Winston "Winnie" Churchill's voice telling him to keep a stiff upper lip. Soon, as his teacher starts to understand him, Sam writes an essay on his hero, Winston Churchill, for a contest. Then, after only twenty days, he has to leave the school because his mother puts him in an institution so she can run off to Europe with her boyfriend. Sam's last act before leaving is to advise the basketball captain to place Micky Kostov, a Russian boy no one likes, as point guard.
While at the institution, Sam starts to grow weaker and depressed. But then a reporter comes to visit him and take his photograph because Sam's essay won the contest and its $1000 prize. Soon after, Sam's mother, betrayed and deceived by the man she was about to marry, comes back and releases Sam from the institution. Sam returns to school and actively advises his basketball team so they become tournament champs. Later, Sam grows up to be the school's basketball coach.
"Window Boy" is an inspirational story that will teach children how to be understanding toward others with disabilities. The focus on Winston Churchill will give students not only a history lesson, but also a motivational example of character and determination during trying times. Athletic readers will especially enjoy the novel with its emphasis on basketball, while they also will feel gratitude for their good health. "Window Boy" ( [http://www.windowboy.org] ) is a book to be long remembered and cherished by its readers, young and old.
About the Author Andrea White is a wife, mother, author, community activist, and Houston's First Lady. She views this latter role as a wonderful volunteer job with education at its core. She formerly practiced law as one of the first female partners at a major Texas firm. She received her undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Texas. Andrea is involved in many programs to encourage reading among children. The rest of her time is spent writing books for them. She is a recipient of the Golden Spur Award for Best Young Adult Texas author. Besides "Window Boy," she has written "Surviving Antarctica: Reality TV 2083."

- 1 statvolt = 299.792458 volts.
- (The conversion factor 299.792458 is simply the numerical value of the speed of light in m/s divided by 106)
It is a useful unit for electromagnetism because one statvolt per centimetre is equal in magnitude to one gauss. Thus, for example, an electric field of one statvolt/cm has the same energy density as a magnetic field of one gauss. Likewise, a plane wave propagating in a vacuum has perpendicular electric and magnetic fields such that for every gauss of magnetic field intensity there is one statvolt/cm of electric field intensity.
The abvolt is another option for a unit of voltage in the cgs system.

The largest wild bird in North America is the California Condor. This bird has a wingspan of over nine feet and can weigh over 23 pounds.
The largest bird native to noth america are the california condor and the mute swan. Mute swans can get up to 5ft tall have 11ft wingspans and weigh up to 30lbs. One was recorded at 50lbs. The largest bird in north america although is the adean condor. They have 12ft wingspans, can be over 4ft tall and weigh up to 35lbs. Swans are so tall because of their long necks. Although these are the largest birds they are regularly preyed on and displaced by golden and bald eagles.

Paper recycling began in 1921 in Great Britain. Since the 1970’s recycling has risen for the general population in the US. It started as a response to rising costs, but was not convenient at first. The first curbside recycling pickup service began in California in 1973. In the past few decades, the US has used 1,677 companies for the recycling business.
Woodbury, New Jersey was the first American city to mandate a recycling program.
Some cities, such as San Francisco CA, and Portland, OR to name a few have also begun a program called curbside composting. You simply dispose of coffee grounds, food scraps and other green material into a large green garbage bin that gets emptied the same day as garbage and recycling does. This is a relatively new program only a couple years old but is growing and spreading to other cities. The point of the program is to reduce cities’ carbon footprints. The San Francisco Recology collection program strives to redirect 75 percent of waste generated in the city away from landfill disposal by 2010, and aims to achieve zero waste by 2020.

The answer is B.
The pilgrims all meet at an inn in London before they go to make their way to Canterbury to worship at the shrine of Thomas a Becket. The owner of the inn is going to be going along also. He proposes a contest to help pass the time. He says that they will each tell tales. They will each tell two on the way down and then two more on the way back. Whoever tells the best one gets a free dinner at the inn when they return.
The pilgrims agreed to tell their tales, which will be judged by the Tabard Inn's innkeeper. The prize was a dinner, for which the rest of the pilgrims would pick up the tab.
The Canterbury Tales were written in 1386 by Geoffrey Chaucer.
In the original language, the portion about the prize for the best tale reads:

Digital as well as photographic satellite image data offer a high potential of topographic and thematic information. The paper discusses the application of such data for mapping purposes. For the compilation of conventionalTopographic Maps the requirements concerning the geometrical accuracy can easily be met for 1 : 50,000 or even 1 : 25,000. However, the interpretability of the features that are relevant for topography is often the critical factor. Only the Russian KWR-1000 data are suitable for mapping topographic features in 1 : 25,000. Main emphasis is laid on a new map type, theSatellite Image Map. The authors describe the satellite image mapping procedures developed at the Technical University of Berlin and applied in practice by FPK Consulting Engineers. Some related problems are discussed in details, eg mosaicking, merging of different types of data, and integration of graphical elements. An increase in cartographic applications of satellite remote sensing data is anticipated.

Phosphorus management in the Baltic Sea historic evidence and future options
Phosphorus being one of the essential elements for all forms of life is also a finite resource. The extensive use of Phosphorus in anthropogenic activities has lead to high nutrient load in surface waters causing eutrophication. The Baltic Sea being a semi enclosed water body and a good example of eutrophication has been chosen as model basis. To determine the magnitude of phosphorus use in Riparian States and the total loads to the sea is investigated using a systems analysis approach. In this thesis the phosphorous flows were examined using substance flow analysis of two types of systems: anthropogenic system and a sub basin system. The anthropogenic system presents the flows and stocks of phosphorus within processes with phosphorus utilization within each Riparian country and the total load of phosphorus to the Baltic Sea. The sub basin system models individual sub basins to determine the total input of phosphorus and the resident stocks of phosphorus in sea water and biomass. Based on the sub basin a hypothesis is formulated to determine the fate of phosphorus in the sea and the identify sinks of phosphorus.
Hypothesis: The inflow of phosphorus into the Baltic Sea is not coupled with an increase in phosphorus stock but result in a high sedimentation rate. The sub basins represent phosphorus exporters to other neighboring basins.
Within the anthropogenic system, agriculture and food market posses the largest flows and stocks of phosphorus. While the largest loads from the anthropogenic systems are from agricultural run off and waste water discharge. Poland is found to have major share in this contribution of phosphorus flows to the Baltic Sea.
The sub basin Baltic Proper contains the largest stock of phosphorus among all the other sub basins. The test of the hypothesis hold true and sediments of the Baltic Sea have been recognized as major sinks of phosphorus.

Are you a square or a rectangle? You can figure it out by measuring your height and the length between your fingertips when you spread your arms apart. If these measurements are almost equal, you’re a square. If one is much larger than the other, you’re a rectangle. But is this trait genetic? Find out with this science experiment.Is the relationship between a person’s height and armspan genetic?

Siemens electron microscope, Germany, 1943.
© Science Museum / Science & Society Picture Library
The electron microscope is constructed from a tube in which electrons emitted from the cathode are focused, by magnetic and electrostatic fields, to form an enlarged image of the cathode on a fluorescent screen. By pasing the electrons through an object, such as a virus, a greatly enlarged image can be obtained on a photographic plate. The instrument has a very high resolving power compared with the optical microscope, due to the shorter wave-length asociated with electron waves.

On May 16, 2011, tan and gray smoke spread hundreds of kilometers across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories in Canada. At 10:00 a.m., the Alberta government reported 116 fires burning in the province, 34 of them out of control. The following day, the total number of fires had dropped to 100, and the number of uncontrolled fires had dropped to 22. But four new fires had started to burn out of control.
The top image shows a wide area to illustrate how far the smoke traveled. The lower image provides a closer view of a massive fire burning south of Lake Athabasca. Fire detections are outlined in red. Strong winds fanned the fires on May 15 and 16, sending thick plumes of smoke to the north.
The fires forced some energy and transportation companies to suspend operations, reported CBC News. Multiple oil and gas companies suspended drilling and moved their employees to safety. Oil transport was also hampered by a shutdown of rail service and a pipeline closure. Meanwhile, fires near Lesser Slave Lake destroyed 40 percent of the nearby town on May 15, including hundreds of homes and businesses and the town hall.
On May 17, CBC News reported that British Columbia was sending 200 more firefighters, in addition to the 130 firefighters already deployed to Alberta. Fire danger remained extreme throughout much of northern Alberta on May 17, the government reported.

An example of Atticus being brave, helpful and smart is when he shot the mad dog.
The town panics when the mad dog Tim Johnson comes down the street. They know that a rabid dog is very dangerous.
Calpurnia calls Atticus, and he and Heck Tate come toward the dog. Heck knows he can’t make the shot, and he asks Atticus to take it. Atticus has not shot a gun in years, but he agrees.
With movements so swift they seemed simultaneous, Atticus's hand yanked a ball-tipped lever as he brought the gun to his shoulder. (ch 10)
Atticus is clearly worried, but he does not panic. Even though he has not held a gun in a long time, he still has talent.
The rifle cracked. Tim Johnson leaped, flopped over and crumpled on the sidewalk in a brown-and-white heap. He didn't know what hit him. (ch 10)
The kids learn that Atticus can do something after all. He is one of the best shots in the county, and they had no idea.
This incident accomplishes a couple of things for the narrative. First of all, it establishes Atticus as someone to watch. He is a character full of surprises. Symbolically and literally, Atticus protects the town from the rabid dog. This foreshadows the symbolic protection Atticus provides against the rabidity of racism.

Amino Acid Activation
During amino acid activation the amino acids (aa) are attached to their corresponding tRNA. The coupling reactions are catalysed by a group of enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (named after the reaction product aminoacyl-tRNA or aa-tRNA). The coupling reaction proceeds in two steps:
1. aa + ATP aa-AMP + PP,
The amino acid is coupled to the penultimate nucleotide at the 3’-end of the tRNA (the A in the sequence CCA) via an ester bond (roll over in illustration). The formation of the ester bond conserves a considerable part of the energy from the activation reaction. This stored energy provides the majority of the energy needed for peptide bond formation during translation.
Each of the 20 amino acids are recognised by its
specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. The synthetases
are usually composed of one to four protein subunits.
The enzymes vary considerably in structure although
they all perform the same type of reaction by binding

What did students study in Southern colleges before the Civil War? Well, in algebra class, they sometimes studied how terrible Yankees were. Take several examples from the math textbook of Professor D. H. Hill of Davidson College:
A Yankee mixes a certain number of wooden nutmegs, which cost him 1/4 cent apiece, with a quantity of real nutmegs, worth 4 cents apiece, and sells the whole assortment for $44; and gains $3.75 by the fraud. How many wooden nutmegs were there?
Fun in math class, eh? (Am I right in thinking that 4x-1/4x=375?)
And they studied the hiring of a slave:
A planter hired a negro-man at the rate of $100 per annum, and his clothing. At the end of 8 months the master of the slave took him home, and received $75 in cash, and no clothing. What was the clothing valued at?
Also, on the issue of emancipation and the generosity of North and South, try this problem:
A gentleman in Richmond expressed a willingness to liberate his slave, valued at $1000, upon the receipt of that sum from charitable persons. He received contributions from 24 persons; and of these there were 14/19ths fewer from the North than from the South, and the average donation of the former was 4/5ths smaller than that of the latter. What was the entire amount given by the latter?
Mighty interesting stuff to see what’s on the minds of antebellum textbook authors, isn’t it? I will talk shortly about some of the more traditional curriculum in southern colleges shortly.

Scientists have discovered in the mountains of Antarctica the same sort of evidence that pointed to vast deposits of diamonds in Africa.
Researchers from Australia and Germany discovered kimberlite, a bluish rock known to contain diamonds, on the slopes of Mt. Meredith in the northern Prince Charles Mountains, the BBC reports. The find is detailed in the academic journal Nature Communications.
Teal Riley, a survey geologist with the British Antarctic Survey, told the BBC that even if significant deposits are found, the diamonds won't be recovered anytime soon.
An international treaty bars commercial mining in Antarctica until at least 2041.

rticle III of the U.S. Constitution established the federal judiciary as one of the three equal branches of the federal government. It is the job of the courts to interpret the Constitution and other federal laws, and apply these laws to settle disputes. When they do this, the courts protect the rights and liberties of American citizens.
Our country operates under a system of federalism, in which power is divided between one national government and other, smaller state or regional governments.
The U.S. government has only certain powers and duties, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. Everything else is left to the individual states to govern.
The federal court system has limited jurisdiction, meaning they only hear certain types of cases. Federal courts hear only two types of cases; those that raise a “federal question,” and those involving “diversity of citizenship.”
On the other hand, state courts are courts of “general jurisdiction”. They hear all the cases not specifically selected for federal courts.
The Types of Federal Courts:
U.S. District Courts: The United States district courts are the trial courts of the federal court system. This is where federal cases are tried, where witnesses testify, and federal juries serve. There are 94 federal district courts in the U.S. Each district also has a bankruptcy court.
U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal: There are 13 courts of appeal in the United States. These courts, called circuit courts, hear appeals from the district courts located in their geographic circuit, and some other lower federal courts. They review the decisions of these courts to determine if the law was interpreted and applied correctly.
U.S. Supreme Court: The Supreme Court of the United States is located in Washington, D.C. It is the highest court in the nation. The Supreme Court hears appeals from the lower courts. Most appeals come from the U.S. circuit courts of appeal, but cases may also come from other courts and even the state court system. The Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court decide which cases to review.
The Federal Courts in the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse in St. Louis:
- U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
- U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
- Eighth Circuit U.S. Courts of Appeals

At first glance, you may mistake this snake for a branch or twig. Its extremely slender, bark-colored body helps this reptile blend in perfectly with its forest habitat. When the southern twig snake is threatened, it responds by slowly flicking its tongue to assess the danger, and by inflating its throat to appear larger.
Did You Know?
This species is venomous and considered potentially lethal to humans, but instances of fatal bites are rare.

The project synthetically cultivated specimens of what the human race might evolve into. Three creatures were created, named "Alfred", "Russel" and "Wallace" after the naturalist. Two of them died; the third thrived initially, but later became weakened. Near death, the creature, Alfred, was able to transplant the heart of one his guards into his own body, thus prolonging his life. The resultant horror meant that the project had to be closed down in 1975.
The head of the project, Julius Quilter, could not kill the creature. He secretly reared and educated it, eventually making him his assistant and giving him the name "Alfred Emerson". (HOMEVID: Unnatural Selection)

George and William Chaffey, immigrants from Canada, founded a model colony in Southern California in 1882. They named their settlement Ontario, from an Iroquois term meaning beautiful water, not only to pay homage to their home province but to also draw other Canadians to their colony. Utilizing forward-thinking irrigation practices, the brothers laid out plots of land ready for colonists who wanted to farm or raise citrus groves. After just four years, the brothers left for Australia to develop more settlements and passed their model colony on to Charles Frankish and his partners of the Ontario Land and Improvement Company. From its earliest days, the colony became known for its citrus groves, Armstrong roses, Graber olives, Guasti grapes, and the Hotpoint iron. This book, which includes nearly 200 images, focuses on the colony’s early development.

Lets learn how to create beep using java.
We can create a beep sound to indicate a warning or error by using java. However, it is often better to give a warning dialog box with a description about the problem using GUI interface.
There are two ways to produce the sound beep:
1.Using Toolkit class: We can create a beep using Toolkit class. For this we first need to import java.awt.Toolkit. This class provides beep() method to create beep sound. The following syntax is used to create beep using Toolkit class:
Use this statment in your code:
This is not always a sufficient way to alert the user as there may not be speakers on the user's computer.
2.Using ASCII value: ASCII refer as American Standard Code for Information Interchange. We use ASCII value "\007" to produce beep. As we are using in our example.
Here is the code of the program :

Courses are academic classes taught by qualified instructors that are intended to enhance participant’s knowledge of a given area or training in a particular discipline. Courses vary broadly in terms of length, size, content and duration.
Earning an online degree from a school can likely lead to a promotion and/or salary raise, or prepare you for a new career. Even if classroom training may be considered more traditional, online education is advantageous in its own right. There is a mixture of degree programs, and individual classes offered through online learning organizations. It is not unheard of for tuition costs for online courses to be lower than that of a conventional school, although this is certainly not reliable of all online programs.

The word of the day is Kaas and Kazen. The first one means
cheese. The second means cheeses. Kaas is pronounced as kahs and kassen is
pronounced as Kahzen.
The reason behind teaching you this is cheese is important
in the Dutch culture. Before it became so easy to achieve and have cheese year
round, new cheese is found only in the summer and old/mature cheese was only
found in the spring. There was no cheese in the winter. So there were markets
to buy and sell cheese which is continued to this day more as a tourist
attraction than anything else. Most
people I have notice take cheese sandwiches to school for lunch. It is seen as
greedy here if you have more than one topping on your bread. The fact it is such an important but often
forgotten fact of cultural importance along with the color orange, Anne Frank,
and windmills (molen), I thought I would mention it so that you would know.
For example: Ik koop de kaas. (I buy the cheese)
This is a cheese market. It is the most famous cheese market
that is in Alkmaar. The men in the straw hats carry the cheese from where they
are tested over to be weighed. They are weighed over in the left part of the
building. In picture 2 you see the cheese being weighed by the man in the
yellow hat. They write it down. Then the men with the colored hats take it off
to who bought it. The straw hats of the men that carry the cheese match their
veer color. The men in the red capes are new members to the cheese guild. The
men in the white gowns are official tester of the cheese. They test the cheese
by looking at it, smelling it, crumbling it, and finally tasting it. The men in
the blue shirts load the cheese onto the veer (a sled like carrier). It is a big show more or less outside a 14th
century weighing place, which has been turned into a museum about the cheese
market. The cheese market brings in tourist from all over regardless of
weather. The show is announced in several languages including but not only in
Dutch, English, and French. It is a wonder to see and a joy to attend.
Hope you enjoyed this lesson.

Shaking legs in an otherwise healthy feline is rather uncommon, so when you witness the sight, you might be alarmed. This syndrome can be brought on by sources from arthritis to poisoning and typically calls for veterinarian attention.
Other People Are Reading
Arthritis can be caused by trauma, infections, disorders of the immune system and even developmental disorders. When a cat has arthritis, and leg stiffness or favouring occurs, shaking limbs can follow.
Feline Thromboembolic Disease
According to the Georgia Veterinarian Specialists, feline thromboembolic disease is one of the most difficult and frustrating diseases for veterinarians. This condition, occurring secondary to severe heart disease, causes cats to present acute onset of rear limb dysfunction and can display shaking limbs.
Seizures in cats can be induced by a drug overdose, trauma to the brain and metabolic disorders. These spastic episodes, depending on the intensity, can result in symptoms that include shaking one leg to shaking the entire body, including all legs.
A severe cold, which can include frequent sneezing, nasal drainage, coughing, weakness, high fever and shaking legs, can cause concern for a feline owner. If these conditions are noticed, advice should be sought immediately from a veterinarian.
There are a number of items in and around your home that can be hazardous to the health of your cat, even poisoning them, which can lead to symptoms including shaking legs. According to the Cat Fanciers’ Association, harmful substances can be found in antifreeze, some flea products, plants and potpourri.

|go ahead... be a heretic|
Re: [splice], explanation please?by bart (Canon)
|on Nov 16, 2002 at 10:52 UTC||Need Help??|
Hmm... I was involved in a discussion on splice the other day, but I'm sure it wasn't with you... Anyway, IMO, splice() is one of the more difficult to use built-in functions in Perl.
OK, here's the basic gist: splice is a bit to arrays, what substr is to strings. You can cut out a section of an array, and replace it with something else. There's no way to just get an excerpt from an array, and leaving it alone: use an array slice for that. To add to the confusion, the two words look much alike, don't they? I'll come back to slices later.
So here's the basic syntax. We'll make an array containing 9 lower case letters. Then we'll extract two items, skipping the first 3, so taking the fourth and fifth item, and replace them with 3 other items, each an uppercase letter.
Make sure you understand this before you attempt anything else.
The fourth parameter, the array @r, is evaluated in list context. So it's actually a list. We may substitute it with a list, containing arrays and/or scalars, and whatnot. The next snippet would produce the same result:
which gently brings us to optional parameters: what if the list is empty?
Well: the extracted slice will be replaced by an empty list. Of course.
What if we drop the third argument as well?
Well: now everything skipping the first 3 items, till the end of the array, will be extracted, and replaced by an empty list. So after that, @a will still contain the original first 3 items, and nothing else. It is not the same as taking a 0 for the third argument, which wouldn't do anything useful.
Till the end of the array is useful, but what if we want to keep a number of items, counting from the end of the array? Well: use a negative value for the third parameter.
After that, starting out with the original @a, you'll get the results:
It left the original two last items alone. You can do the same with a list after this third parameter:
which will insert the values in @r where it extracted ('d', 'e', 'f', 'g') out. This also demonstrates a design error in splice(): there's no way to extract all items tiull the end of the array, and replace them with the contents of @r. 0 is not a negative number, and undef for the third parameter doesn't work.
Finally, you can use a negative value for the second parameter, the start index, as well. In that case, it will start counting from the end of the array.
You can still use a positive value for the third parameter here, with the usual meaning.
That sums it up, somewhat. As you can see, the rule is: splice() returns what is pulls out of the array, which is in turn replaced by an optional substitution list. What if you don't want to modify the original array? Then use an array slice, which syntactically is totally unrelated to the splice() function:
This is quite the same as
You can use negative values for the index as well here, but you must remember that the range is evaluated independently of the context (i.e. knowing what it's used for) here, so combining negative and positive values for the index will not do what you probably want. (-5 .. 4) means (-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), and (5 .. -2) is an empty list.

In general, density in living situations is more efficient. Cities are more energy efficient than suburbs or the country, because more people live in a smaller space and don’t generally have to travel as far or as often for everyday needs. I think this is probably true for housing situations in general: more people living in a house will be more efficient, unless of course the house is very large in order to accommodate everyone. This also would depend on a number of factors, such as how well insulated the house it, how much power and water the people living there use, etc.

India has a long, rich, and diverse tradition of philosophical thought, spanning some two and a half millennia and encompassing several major religious traditions.
This Very Short Introduction emphasizes the diversity of Indian thought, and is structured around six schools which have achieved classic status. Sue Hamilton explores how the traditions have attempted to understand the nature of reality in terms of an inner or spiritual quest, and introduces distinctively Indian concepts such as karma and rebirth. She also shows how Indian thinkers have understood issues of reality and knowledge -- issues which are also an important part of the Western

Reviewed 39 empirical studies in which direct observational
methods were used to assess children in whom ADHD had been diagnosed.
Classroom studies distinguished ADHD children from comparison groups
better than laboratory studies. Behaviors that most consistently distinguished
ADHD children from comparison groups included measures of attention,
activity, and vocalization. Ways are suggested to improve the efficiency
and reliability of observational research. Recommendations are made
regarding the importance of classroom observations in the evaluation
of ADHD children.

Abstract Plate tectonic theory accounts for the steady subsidence of mid-plate oceanic islands by cooling of the lithosphere and so provides a sound basis for Darwin's theory of atoll formation. Now it is evident that because the lithosphere behaves elastically in response to loads such as islands, more localized subsidence and uplift patterns can also be explained. Tectonically active areas, where one plate is subducted beneath another, are also likely to contain regions of marked uplift, but are less amenable to modelling. These processes together provide a background motion framework for most reef settings with rates of vertical movement of the order of a few millimetres per year. Reef forms are greatly influenced by the configuration of their foundations. Holocene reef foundations were essentially moulded by processes of deposition and erosion during the Pleistocene when global sea level changes were often greater than 1 cm year −1. We are now developing a sufficient understanding of the rates and nature of reef processes of growth and destruction to be able to see the manner in which the structural development of reefs responds to the complex interplay of tectonic uplift and subsidence plus changes of sea level and climate.

Smelter droids were droids programmed to operate in smelting factories, and were thus designed to be rugged and tough, with simple personalities and artificial intelligences programmed with little other than the required capacities.
Smelter droids were programmed for any smelting task, such as disintegrating droids, refining metal or forging weapons. A notable model of smelter droid was the 8D smelter droid programmed for droid disintegration, and produced by Roche.

Same-sex marriage a sin
When did society begin to believe it could usurp God’s laws?
God’s laws have been our guidelines for moral and legal living since the beginning. However, in the past few years, our society has grown away from those.
Recently, we have become aware of the push for same-sex marriage and other benefits afforded to married couples. Some states have voted yes to same-sex marriage. Many companies already offer benefits to homosexual partners.
From the beginning, God commanded that couples were to be male and female. On the sixth day, God created the first man, Adam. God then created woman, Eve, to be a companion, helper and wife for Adam.
God did not make another male for Adam. Also, Adam and Eve were directed to be fruitful and multiply. This is not possible for homosexual couples.
Today, so many want to be politically correct. They don’t want to make waves. Some feel that living by God’s laws interferes with their way of life and rights. Sometimes, actions are selfish. Our lives should be directed by the biblical principles set by God.
Every day, we witness more sin and evil. Please pray for our nation and government to make moral decisions. We need to have a virtuous and ethical society. We need to maintain a moral society as an example now and for future generations.

Sun Did Stand Still

I've enjoyed the discussion on Joshua's long day.
I just happened upon an old issue of Bible-Science Newsletter of June
1991. It has an article on Joshua's incident by Johnson C. Phillip
(Creation Research Society of India). He states that Herodotus refers to
an Egyption priest showing him their records of a day lasting twice as
long, in addition he refers to Chinese, Mexicans (which ones ?), Incas,
Babylonians, Persians, Polynesians and Indian (India) traditions of a
long day. There are no references to real sources given.
Can anybody help me, or is this hog-wash ?
He does refer to the astronomer stories as being completely fiction.

What's the source of data? It's the natural conversation. We took note from Monica's house during she's phone with her friend.
Is it formal or informal conversation? It's informal because of 4 elements 1. No increased structuring of formal event.
1.1 Using the utterance such as "Look"ÃÂ and "Well"ÃÂ.
1.2 No completed sentence such as "Monday night?"ÃÂ and "Oh sorry"ÃÂ.
2. No seriousness to the occasion.
2.1 No serious topic such as dinner, a show, and a concert.
2.2 No highly appropriate sentence.
For example, "I'd love to go with you"ÃÂ and "I was going to stay in"ÃÂ 3. Not emphasis on positional identities of participants.
3.1 Using the first name as address.
For example, Peter : hello Monica Monica : hello Peter 3.2 Using highly appropriate sentence such as "What's come up?"ÃÂ.
4. No emergence of a central situation focus.
4.1 Participant can do many things at the same time.
For example, Monica's on phone while watching TV.
4.2 No serious and flexible topic.
For example, Peter just wants to invite Monica to spend time together. He often changes the topic to make her interest such as dinner, show, and concert.
What's the setting? It takes place in Monica's house at living room about 6 P.M. . Monica is watching TV while she's on phone.
About participant 1. Who are participants in this conversation? - Peter and Monica 2. How is the relationship between them? - They are friends because they use the first name as address term. Maybe, they just make friend each other because they don't use the shortened + the first nameas address term. Also, Monica's role is more dominant than Peter's role. That's because he tries to invite her in many invitations to get her interest.
3. What social meaning is reflected from the use of these address terms? - Because they use the first name as the address term, they are the equal status: friend.
4. How much chance do participants speak? - There are very much because it's a flexible topic and an informal situation.
For example, when Peter asks Monica, Monica can answer and explain her idea. Also, he can talk what he think and how he feel indirectly with her.
About the topic 1. What is the topic of this conversation? - This topic is very flexible because it depends on personal preference: Monica's interest. All topic of this conversation is the invitation to see a show, concert, and to have a dinner.
2. Is the topic serious? - It's not serious topic because all topic is about going out to see a show, concert, and to have dinner.

Chickenpox is a contagious viral infection often affecting children.
Chickenpox is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Most cases are in children under age 15, but older children and adults can get it, too. It spreads very easily from one person to another.
The classic symptom of chickenpox is an uncomfortable, itchy rash. The rash turns into fluid-filled blisters and eventually into scabs. It usually shows up on the face, chest and back, and then spreads to the rest of the body. Other symptoms include:
- Loss of appetite
Chickenpox is usually mild and lasts five to 10 days. Calamine lotions and oatmeal baths can help with itching. Acetaminophen can treat the fever. Do not use aspirin for chickenpox. That combination can cause Reye syndrome, a serious illness requiring immediate medical attention.
Chickenpox can sometimes cause serious problems. Adults, babies, teenagers, pregnant women, and those with weak immune systems tend to get sicker from it. They may need to take antiviral medication.
Once you catch chickenpox, the virus usually stays in your body. You probably will not get chickenpox again, but the virus can cause shingles in adults. A chickenpox vaccine can help prevent most cases of chickenpox, or make it less severe if you do get it.

Definition: 'Splitting Of Heart Sounds'
splitting of heart soundsType: Term
1. the production of major components of the first and second heart sounds (rarely the third and fourth) due to contribution by the left-sided and right-sided valves; thus, the first heart sound would have a mitral and a tricuspid component and the second heart sound an aortic and pulmonic component. The latter are best appreciated during respiration, with inspiration delaying the pulmonic component and producing an earlier aortic component.
The definition information for splitting of heart sounds is provided by Stedman's. You can search our medical dictionary here.

The building is the brainchild of architects Ortiz Leon Arquitectos S.L. and Pelli Carke Pelli Architects.
Saint-Gobain at Torre de Cristal, Spain
Glass has extensively been used in the architecture design of Torre de Cristal since it is an apt material especially for high-rise structures. This is primarily because it is light, flexible and easy to install as a building material. When compared with brick walls, glass potentially results in an estimated weight reduction of 16,400 Tons for a building that is 50 stories high with 40,000 m2 glass area. A glass facade can be quickly fabricated and installed; in a day’s installation, a glass facade can cover 150 m2 in comparison with a brick wall of 70 m2.
Using glass in architecture design also ensures dry construction and therefore, a cleaner project site. Use of glass leads to lower envelope thickness (saves up to 8% of the construction area, and in turn increases carpet area) which is a key factor for high-rises. Even predictable seismic behavior can be achieved by the use of glass in high rise structures. Besides the functional benefits, glass makes it possible to create several value-additions as well on the facade.
Saint-Gobain glass was used all across the facade of Torre de Cristal. The chosen variants were laminated glass SGG COOL-LITE SKN 054, SGG DIAMANT and SGG PHOTOVOLTAIC. The solar control glass from Saint-Gobain helped the high-rise to save considerably on costs for day lighting as well as artificial air-conditioning.
With Saint-Gobain’s glazing solutions, the architecture design for the Torre de Cristal has been elevated to a new high – both in terms of form and function.

Texas Wild-rice (Zizania texana)
- Texas Status
- U.S. Status
- Endangered, Listed 4/26/1978
- Texas wild-rice has long green leaves up to 45 inches in length and 1/4 to 1 inch wide. Rice "seeds" are black or brown.
- Life History
- Texas wild-rice is an aquatic perennial grass found only in the upper two miles of the San Marcos River in central Texas. It is related to the wild-rice grown for human food. On a sunny day, this plant's bright green leaves can be seen waving in the current near the river bottom in areas where the water is clean and clear. This plant is endangered because the river water is being impacted by the growth of the city of San Marcos and increasing numbers of people swimming, canoeing, and tubing the river. Because more people are using water, less underground water is flowing from the springs. Nutria, a non-native rodent that lives in wetland areas, is also a threat because it eats the wild-rice.
- This plant grows in clear flowing spring-fed waters.
- This species grows in the San Marcos River in Hays County, central Texas; Edwards Plateau region. Currently, only one population is known.
- You can help save this plant by not pulling it up or disturbing it. Do your part to conserve water and keep the San Marcos River clean.

Hybridization between biological species is a process that combines the genes of two parent species to create a new species with characteristics of both parents. This process does not have a predictable effect, as there is no guarantee which parental characteristics will be expressed in the hybridized offspring. It could result in a species that is better adapted to its environment or is able to out-compete members of its parental species. It could also preserve a desirable trait from one parent species that is threatened with extinction. Hybridization happens with and without human intervention, and when humans intervene, it is often with the aim of creating a species that will be more desirable for our use. As the outcomes are not guaranteed, it is important to remember that the process has potential for great ecological impact.

Do Lahiri’s stories only represent Indian experience or reflect other culture.
Some experiences are relevant to all human beings regardless of Indian non Indian, migrants, race, religion or culture. This idea is explored in Jumpha Lahiri's collection of short stories, Interpreter of Maladies. Although most of Lahiri's stories deal with the experiences of migrants, many of her themes are universal and therefore relevant to everyone.
One of the common experiences that she focuses on is the nature of relationships. She suggests that without honest and open communication, relationships and marriages will falter. For example in the story, A temporary matter, we observe the failing relationship between husband and wife. After the death of their child, they “eat separately” and were hardly home at the same time. Their relationship especially suffers because they are not open to each other about their intentions. Shukuma feels deceived when he realizes Shoba was using “the game” to gently break the news that she is leaving him. Therefore, Lahiri suggest couples need to be open with one another and maintain communication for a healthy relationship. The advice is relevant not only to migrants but all who are in relationship.
Another themes Lahiri frequently deals with is the migrant experience, When Mr. Pirzada come to dine hints at universal themes such as the effect of war, supporting one another through difficulties, and the pain of being separated from loved ones. Mr. Pirzada is a professor who has left his family behind in a war torn country and moved to the USA. He suffers alienation till he meets Lilia’s family who become a sort of substitute family for him. This can be seen considering that Mr. Pirzada comes to dine every night, plays games and watches the news with Lilia’s parents. It’s is also clear Mr. Pirzada is genuinely concerned for Lilia when he insists on accompanying her whilst trick treating. The fact Mr. Pirzada is still attached to his homeland is...

The quark structure of the antineutron.
|Composition||1 up antiquark, 2 down antiquarks|
|Interactions||Strong, Weak, Gravity, Electromagnetic|
|Discovered||Bruce Cork (1956)|
The antineutron is the antiparticle of the neutron with symbol
. It differs from the neutron only in that some of its properties have equal magnitude but opposite sign. It has the same mass as the neutron, and no net electric charge, but has opposite baryon number (+1 for neutron, −1 for the antineutron). This is because the antineutron is composed of antiquarks, while neutrons are composed of quarks. The antineutron consists of one up antiquark and two down antiquarks.
Since the antineutron is electrically neutral, it cannot easily be observed directly. Instead, the products of its annihilation with ordinary matter are observed. In theory, a free antineutron should decay into an antiproton, a positron and a neutrino in a process analogous to the beta decay of free neutrons. There are theoretical proposals that neutron–antineutron oscillations exist, a process which would occur only if there is an undiscovered physical process that violates baryon number conservation.
The magnetic moment of the antineutron is the opposite of that of the neutron. It is µN for the antineutron but +1.91 for the neutron (relative to the direction of the −1.91 µNspin). Here µN is the nuclear magneton.

a reply to: Aloysius the Gaul
Let's walk through a hypothetical example to show how the act of bank lending creates new money. Say that person A has $100 dollars in cash and
decides to deposit this money into a bank. The bank has a reserve ratio of 10%, and so it must keep $10 in reserves but can loan out the other $90.
Let's say the bank makes a $90 loan to person B.
Time to stop and recap what just happened. Person A originally had $100 cash and consequently $100 worth of purchasing power. When person A deposits
this money into a bank, they still have $100 in purchasing power. The bank then loaned out the $90 that it was not required to hold as reserves and
this money went to person B. Now person B has $90 worth of purchasing power, and person A still has $100 of purchasing power. Money was just
In the micro economy of our example, $100 in original purchasing power has just turned into $190 worth of purchasing power. The amount of money in the
economy that is able to chase goods and services just increased as a result of bank lending.
Taking this forward another step, let's say person B pays this $90 to person C, who then deposits it into a bank. This could be the same bank or a
different one, it doesn't matter. The bank must keep $9 of this new deposit (remember 10% of $90 is $9) and can loan out the remaining $81. If the
bank lends out the $81, the money supply in the economy grows again. What started as $100 that was available to chase goods and services has grown
into $271 of purchasing power ($100 + $90 + $81).
This process can continue over and over as the money is redeposited into banks to be loaned again. If this process continues to its maximum, the
original $100 can grow into $1000. Notice that this relationship between the initial deposit and the maximum growth is a factor of the inverse of the
reserve ratio. A reserve ratio of 10% allows a deposit to grow into 10 times as much money. What we have just described is the "money multiplier"
model. An initial sum of money has "multiplied" through bank lending.

Flowers and Ribbons of Ice
Beautiful, gravity-defying structures can form when water freezes under the right conditions
When conditions are just right, ice can do remarkable things. Many a hiker in colder climes has been treated with an early-morning view of a field of “ice flowers," created when the air is colder than the ground and ice is pushed out from plant stems in folded sheets. Ice can also extrude from small holes in pipes into long, curly ribbons. The author discusses the history behind the study of this phenomenon, as well as some of his own experiments reproducing the structures.

By: AM Wenner, PA Well and Karl von Frisch
414 pages, 60 illus
Many people believe that scientific evidence is indisputable; the truth is that scientific inquiry is often the subject of much controversy. In the 1960's, the authors replicated the experiments of Karl von Frisch on the existence of a `dance language' and found their results at odds with his hypothesis. This is an insider view of a scientific controversy and a philosophical perspective on scientific method and its relationship to controversy in science.

Windows to the Universe original artwork by Randy Russell.
There is more nitrogen gas in the air than any other kind of gas. About four out of five of the molecules in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen gas! A molecule of nitrogen gas is made up of two nitrogen atoms.
There are other kinds of molecules in the atmosphere that have nitrogen atoms in them too such as nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide. They are air pollution that is often made in the engines of cars. They cause other kinds of pollution too like smog and acid rain.
Down on the land, nitrogen atoms are important parts of living creatures. The Nitrogen Cycle explains how nitrogen atoms move around in the environment, including living things like you and me!

The Canadian Museum of History (French: Musée canadien de l’histoire) (formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization) is Canada’s national museum of human history. It is located in the Hull area of Gatineau, Quebec, directly across the Ottawa River from Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. The museum’s primary purpose is to collect, study, preserve, and present material objects that illuminate the human history of Canada and the cultural diversity of its people. In October 2012, it was announced that the museum would be renamed from the Canadian Museum of Civilization to the Canadian Museum of History, with an increased focus on Canadian history and people. The name change became official when the Canadian Museum of History Act received Royal Assent on December 12, 2013, with changes to the museum’s visual identity to be implemented gradually over the course of the following months.
The Canadian Museum of Civilization is a museum of the history of Canada.
