The fate of Oedipus was bitter indeed. By the end of 'Oedipus the King', he and his fate are seen as "Luckless" (Ln 1195) and objects to "envy not at all" (Ln 1196). But what was it that caused this man to sleep with his mother and slay his father? What was it that Oedipus fell victim to? Was it the hubris that seemed to so permeate his character? Was he a puppet held in the cruel grip of the gods? It would seem that perhaps it was neither of these and that rather these things combined together as Oedipus fell victim to chance.
If the fate of Oedipus was a punishment then it was a great one and therefore must have been caused by a large sin. The largest sin we see in the play is obviously parricide and incest, which Dodds claims were the "greatest a man can commit" (Dodds).
But this can not be what he was punished for as it was his punishment. The two can not be the same. Therefore another sin must be searched for and the one most commonly blamed is his hubris.
The hubris of Oedipus is most evident in his dealings with Creon and the contrast that is later drawn between his own actions and those of Creon. Oedipus is certain that Creon has betrayed him and lied to him. He ignores the innocent man's protests and he sentences Creon to death saying "No, certainly; kill you, not banish you." (Ln 625) This was a terrible thing to do, a decision made rashly, a decision made with much hubris. The point is emphasised all the more sharply when Creon later says, "...when I lack knowledge I prefer not to speak at random." (Ln 1546) A strong contrast is drawn...

I have the graphs, I just have questions. I don't understand how these graps were formed. Please explain how this is done. Where do the lines intersect? Aren't there coordinates? I do not understand at all. Sorry, I am a math retard!! Thanks for your help.
2. f(x)=3x - 2
4. f(x)= log2x
Following is the text part of the solution. Please see the attached file for complete solution. Equations, diagrams, graphs and special characters will not appear correctly here. Thank you for using Brainmass.
( I will give a detailed explanation for the first problem. This will help you understand the other two as well. I will give shorter explanations to the other two problems. Highlighted phrase is important to understand)
You only need the general shape of the graph. So you will analyze the given function at extreme values of x to get the general ...
How to plot graphs without using a graphing utility? That is the question that I have answered in this problem set. I have used several examples involving exponential functions and logarithmic functions to show how one can analyze the functions to draw their graphs without using a graphing utility. Understanding how to plot/sketch graphs is very important in the field of mathematics and other sciences and this solution will give you a head start on learning that.

Third Testament, A
Aired Wednesday nights from November 13 to December 18, 1974. Repeated during the summer of 1975.
This series of six hour-long programs was written and presented by Malcolm Muggeridge, the famous British scholar, educator and writer.
A Third Testament was Muggeridge's examination of the lives of six men: St. Augustine, Blaise Pascal, William Blake, Soren Kierkegaard. Leo Tolstoy and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Muggeridge believed that these men had collectively written a newer testament to the ideas of faith and religion. His book, with the same title, also included Fyodor Dostoevsky. Ironically, Muggeridge considered himself an agnostic for most of his life. He died in 1990 at the age of 87.
The series was a co-production of the CBC, Nielsen-Ferns and Time-Life Films. It was produced by Richard Nielsen and directed by Pat Ferns or Jeremy Murray-Brown, who took Muggeridge to the various locations associated with the six men.
The series was produced in two versions, English and French, and earned international recognition.

TITLE: Remember our Garden?

ADD TO MY FAVORITES
Hey, Dad, thanks for meeting me. I just wanted to talk to you before it was time. It’s strange, knowing I won’t walk through here anymore, at least, not like this, you know? We’ve had so many great conversations haven’t we? This is such a gentle place.
Do you remember the garden we planted together? It was so exciting, wasn’t it? I remember the groves. I remember the way they smelled—thick and pregnant with a musky, sweet life. Each tree was different. The apples were all different colors, all on one tree, rows of them. I remember how the oranges and tangerines grew so plump and fat they wanted to fall off.
Roses were one of my favorites, too. Roses around here don’t open up quite the same way. They seem to hesitate, maybe they’re shy. The roses we planted were enormous, remember? They grew and grew and when they opened it was like they were stretching their petals towards heaven and shouting, “Look at me! I’m beautiful!” And then that field of tulips and trumpets—oh they went on forever—like a field of buglers announcing the arrival of a king.
I like it here because of the olives. I like the olive trees all lined up, all working so hard to do what they do, grow and make olives.
I miss our old olive grove. Remember the walks we’d take? Long and leisurely---oh, oh! You know the best part of that olive grove? The weddings! God, I love weddings! Remember the first couple, they got married right between the olive grove and the great oaks? We could hear the river singing from the rapids. I guess that was the wedding song that day. And that steady breeze from the coast that just swept through, just enough to make the trees dance and blow around a few leaves. He was so excited, you know. He was so happy to be finally with her for life. He sang a beautiful song. I think the thrushes were silenced. And the words—wow. The words were perfect for the occasion.
I’ve been to a few weddings here. I like the look on the groom’s face, like he could fly. Like he had received the greatest prize in life! Sometimes they’ve been through hell to get here, you know. Guys will go through amazing trials to get married. Someday I’ll—
Look, I know you have to go. I feel like you’ve already left. Things are different now—like the world has grown larger, stronger, heavy. And I feel like if I try to touch you my hand will just go through you or you’ll be just out of reach.
I miss our walks. When we’d just drink in our garden.
Before you go, can we have one last talk at our rock? I love this rock. We’ve talked so much about life and work over the years. God! I’m going to miss our talks. I’m going to miss hearing your voice.
I know it’s only going to be for a little while. I know it’s my time. It’ll seem like eternity to me.
Do you…Do you think there might be another way? I really don’t want to lose you. We’ve always had each other, you know? God—if there is any other way…but I’ll do what has to be done. You know I will. If it has to be this way, then I’ll go. But you’re all I’ve got left. My friends, well, most of them are already leaving. Peter and the Zebedee boys fell asleep under our tree. They’ve had a long day, you know, preparing the Passover and all. Judas left before supper ended—oh, Judas.
So once you go—once you leave me, it’ll just be me. I’ve never been alone.
I feel like I’ve already died. I feel—wait, wait, not yet, God, you keep moving away, Dad!
Look! Look at the fireflies! Do you remember them, how they used to make a symphony of light for us, right at dusk? Look, right over the ridge there—oh. Oh. Those are torches. Torches, swords, spears…as if they need those.
I’m going to miss our talks. I already miss our walks.
I’ll see you at home, in our garden.

In this book, the editors bring together results from studies on all kinds of animals to show how thinking on many behaviors as truly cognitive processes can help us to understand the biology involved. Taking ideas and observations from the while range of research into animal behavior leads to unexpected and stimulating ideas. A space is created where the work of field ecologists, evolutionary ecologists and experimental psychologists can interact and contribute to a greater understanding of complex animal behavior, and to the development of a new and coherent field of study.
Animal behavior research scientists, behavioral ecologists, neurobehaviorists, and psychologists.

I have tried to grow green peppers, even though I get a lot of peppers on the plant, they only get less than 3 inches in diameter. My garden has full sun and the soil is great, why is this?
Hardiness Zone: 6a
By Peggy from MI
Pinch off your suckers inside established branches. Give your peppers full sun with no shade.
Water only the root area not the leaves. Check your soil. You may need to amend it: sand and topsoil
And perlite if clay. Potting mix if sandy or loamy.
Maintain 70-85 degrees f. during the day with a 15 degree cool off at night.
Be sure and begin with fresh seeds.
Put a couple of tablespoons of epsom salt in a spray bottle ( an old window cleaner bottle will do). Fill the bottle with water, shake well, and spray the blossoms a few times a week. They love the magnesium in it. You will have beautiful peppers.

ovarian epithelial cancer
Pronunciation: (oh-VAYR-ee-un eh-pih-THEE-lee-ul KAN-ser)
Cancer that forms in the tissue covering the ovary (one of a pair of female reproductive glands in which eggs are made). Most ovarian cancers are ovarian epithelial cancers. Fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer are similar to ovarian epithelial cancer and are staged and treated the same way. Also called epithelial ovarian cancer.

The report, "The New Era of Migrations," indicates that the Mexican-born U.S. population grew from 879,000 in 1970 to about 10 million in 2000.
The average length of stays by those Mexicans increased from 5.5 months in the period 1993-1997, to 12.2 months between 2001 and 2003.
Only a fifth of the Mexican-born migrants gained U.S. citizenship.
"Undocumented migration of Mexicans (to the United States) became the predominate modality," said Elena Zuniga, head of the population council.

Wheat, also called Triticum spp (depending on the specie type), is a cereal grain of the grass family grown worldwide for its beneficial and highly nutritious uses. It represents a major food crop of countries in the temperate regions. On a world basis, wheat is second only to rice and corn as a source of food. Flour, bread, breakfast cereals, pasta, cakes, muffins and boza (fermented beverage) are few examples of the list of foods that can be made with this grain.
1. Scientific Classification:
Kingdom: Plantae - Division: Magnoliphyta - Class: Liliopsida – Order: Poales – Family: Poaceae – Subfamily: Pooideae – Genus: Triticum
2. Wheat Diversity
Besides its ubiquitous role in the food culture, wheat can be grown in most of the world’s acreage than any other crop. It is also adaptable to a wide range of soils and climates that allows its worldwide expansion (Reitz, et al, 1976). Eight species of wheat can be cultivated. They are: the Common wheat, Club wheat, Durum wheat, Poulard wheat, Polish wheat, Emmer, Spelt, and Einkorn. Within these species, there are numerous varieties adapted to different climatic conditions.
3. Historical Review
Wheat has been known to be the first cereal cultivated. The oldest remains of wheat seeds were found in the excavated site of a 7th millennium BC village in the Tigris-Euphrates valley (Pomeranz Y., 1988). This area was known as the Fertile Crescent. Wheat cultivation started to spread beyond the Fertile Crescent during the Neolithic period. Because of the loss of seed dispersal mechanisms and technology, propagation of domesticated wheat was slow and limited. Five thousands years ago, wheat cultivation had reached Great Britain, Ireland, Spain and India (Pomeranz Y., 1988). One millennium later, it was able to reach China. Three thousand years ago, the use of seed drills and agricultural cultivation with tractors, fertilizers and threshing...

Set in the south of the United States just after the Civil War, Laurel Sommersby is just managing to work the farm without her husband Jack, believed killed in the Civil War. By all accounts, Jack Sommersby was not a pleasant man, thus when he returns, Laurel has mixed emotions. It appears that Jack has changed a great deal, leading some people to believe that this is not actually Jack but an impostor. Laurel herself is unsure, but willing to take the man into her home, and perhaps later into her heart... Written by
Murray Chapman <[email protected]>
She knew his face. His touch. His voice. She knew everything about him... But the truth.

Sommersby is the first motion picture allowed to shoot in the George Washington National Forest. Not one hole could be dug by the construction crew without an accredited archaeologist being present to look for remains of habitation that might date back over 9,000 years. See more

Hawthorne Nevada earthquake swarm
NASA's Earth Observatory image of the day is of the recent earthquake swarm near Hawthorne, Nevada. Over 400 quakes have been recorded since April 10 ranging from magnitude 1.0 to 4.6. The active area is near the Aurora-Bodie Volcanic Field, although the events are considered to be tectonic rather than volcanic in origin. [right, NASA Earth Observatory image by Robert Simmon, using data from Landsat 7 and the Nevada Seismological Laboratory]
There are some analogies to the San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, where the bulk of Arizona's seismic activity occurs.

Planetary MagnetsPlanets have magnetic fields that start deep inside themselves.
Not every planet has a magnetic field. It takes special conditions to make a magnetic field within a planet. Scientists are fairly certain that there are two essential ingredients for making a magnetic field. Those two ingredients are magnetic material deep within the planet and currents moving inside the magnetic material.
Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are known to have magnetic fields. Venus is a special case of a rocky planet with no magnetic field.

Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a disease that involves purple spots on the skin, joint pain, gastrointestinal problems and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disorder). It is an inflammation of small blood vessels in the bowel, kidneys and skin. When these blood vessels become inflamed, they can bleed into the skin, causing a rash called purpura. The cause of HSP is unknown, but it has been linked with viral respiratory infections, strep throat, exposure to the cold, food allergies, bee stings, chemical toxins and prescription medications. It occurs most often in the spring.

40x^5y^2 - 32x^7y^6 + 28x^8y^4 - 36x^7y^5
I thought factor completely meant solve for the unknown variable. However, I have no idea what the answer is for this question. I know the greatest common denominator is 4x^5y^2. But do not know how to get on further. What do I do?
14. A rectangular field is to be enclosed on four sides and divided by another section of fence parallel tot he width using 4800m of fencing. What is the maximum area of the entire field? What are the dimensions of the field that maximums the area?
How would I even start this? I know that A = l x w. But other than that I have no idea. I thought it would be something like x (4800 -x) and then solve for x, but I don't think that will give me the correct answer. How do I do this question?
Be careful with your terminology. Highest common factors and lowest common denominators are not the same thing.
Let's start with the constants. There is clearly a factor of 4 there.
As you've said, the highest common term of is
So take this out next:
Now try to finish for the y terms. If you're still confused, reply and I'll go into detail.
You can solve that equations for either l or w as a function of the other. For example, 2l= 4800- 3w so l= 2400- (3/2)w. Now put that into A= lw: . That's a quadratic function in w and you can find its maximum value (at the vertex of the parabola) by "completing the square".

GAULTHERIA NUMMULARIOIDES (_syn G. nummulariae_ and _G. repens_).
--Himalayas. This is a neat Alpine species, with small and very dark
green leaves. It likes a shady situation and vegetable soil. For
planting on the rockwork, amongst tree roots, or beneath the shade of
trees, the Gaultherias are particularly suitable. Light, but rich
vegetable soil suits them best.
G. PROCUMBENS.--Canada Tea, or Creeping Winter-green. North America,
1762. This is of much smaller growth than the following, rarely rising
to a greater height than about half a foot, with lanceolate, serrated
leaves, and pendulous axillary clusters of white flowers.
G. SHALLON.--North-west America, 1826. Growing in favourable situations
to fully a yard in height, this distinct evergreen shrub, which is
fairly common in cultivation, is particularly valuable, as it thrives
well under the shade and drip of trees. It is a rambling plant, with
ovate-cordate, almost sessile leaves, and bears tiny white flowers that
are succeeded by purplish fruit. G. Shallon acutifolia has more sharply
pointed leaves than those of the species.

How to Get There
Brief Description and History
Lava Creek spills over the cliff face of a basalt lava flow that was emplaced about 700,000 years ago. The falls is approximately 60 feet in height, descending in three plunges.
Originally called “East Gardner Falls,” “Cascade Falls of the East Gardiner,” or “Gardiner River Falls,” Undine received its present name in 1885 from geologist Arnold Hague. Undine (Webster says it is pronounced UN deen) was named for wise, usually female water spirits from German mythology who lived around waterfalls and who could gain souls by marrying mortal men.
Undine Falls was featured on the cover of the July 1977 edition of National Geographic magazine.

"Mrs Taylor said there was a danger that the phrase 'problems of immigrant children' had become inverted to suggest that all immigrant children had problems. This was not necessarily so but they did have real needs . . .
"Education in basic English for such children was often minimal and frequently stopped when the child had only the barest understanding . . .
The country needed a national policy to meet the needs of such children . .
"Mr Walter Fyfe, community relations officer, Glasgow, said . . . English cities were now facing the problem Glasgow had faced last century with the immigration of Highlanders, Irish and East European Jews . . . (who) had left anomalies in the city's education system which should now be resolved.
"Was it unreasonable that Sikhs, concerned for their teenage daughters, should seek to establish a separate school for Muslim girls?
"Teachers were increasingly likely to find coloured children in their classrooms. Teacher training should include an element of guidance on how to handle such pupils, and also teach something of their culture."

Samoa is one of the “micro” states in the world. It is located in the Pacific and sometimes is also called Western Samoa. Before Samoa gained independence, it was the territory of the United Nations, New Zealand overseas territories and also one of the German colonies.
Temperatures are tropical. The seasons are “reversed” compared to the one that we are used to. Summer lasts from November to April and winter lasts from April to September and then the temperatures are lower compared to the average. The annual average temperature is between 27 C and 29 C.
It is important to mention that the temperature is higher in the mountains than in the lower regions. The best time to visit Samoa is from May to October. Then the temperature is more comfortable and the climate is somewhat drier comparing to the other months.
Considering the interesting events, Samoa is not much behind other tourist places. In March takes place Apia Arts and Crafts Festival when visitors can observe many talents of the inhabitants of Samoa. In April is held the Samoa International Game Fishing Tournament, a competition that lasts for a week and attracts a large number of people. At the end of May, exactly 31st, it is celebration of Independence Day. Then is organized a big event that attracts a lot of people.

Karl Pearson
March 27, 1857 - April 27, 1936
Born and died in London, England.
Pearson applied statistics to biological problems of heredity and evolution.
Pearson graduated from Cambridge University in 1879, then spent most of his career at University College, London. He was the first Galton professor of eugenics, holding the chair from 1911 to 1933.
His book The Grammar of Science (1892), was remarkable in that it anticipated some of the ideas of relativity theory. He then became interested in developing mathematical methods for studying the processes of heredity and evolution.
He applied statistics to biological problems of heredity and evolution. From 1893-1912 he wrote 18 papers entitled Mathematical Contribution to the Theory of Evolution which contain his most valuable work. These papers contain contributions to regression analysis, the correlation coefficient and includes the chi-square test of statistical significance (1900). He coined the term 'standard deviation' in 1893. His work was influenced by the work of Edgeworth and in turn influenced the work of Yu le.
He was a co-founder of the statistical journal Biometrika.

By definition, feed-in tariffs are designed to make utilities to get a percentage of their power from renewable sources by a certain date. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory published a report called “A Policymaker’s Guide to Feed-in Tariff Policy Design,” and presented a cost-benefit analysis as well as several best practices for FiTs. When implemented with cost efficiency in mind, NREL states, feed-in tariffs can make solar energy more affordable for utilities as well as energy consumers.

DJ Nyke & Rodeo Rick Make Snow [VIDEO]
Subscribe to 107.9 The River on
Science can be fun. Have you ever attempted to make snow out of boiling hot water? Probably not. It doesn’t logically sound like something that can be done, especially not in mid air, even in the blistering Wyoming cold.
So how is it possible for boiling water to turn into snow (or ice particles) in mid air? When it’s cold outside, there’s hardly any water vapor present in the air, whereas boiling water emits vapor very readily, which is why it’s steaming. When you throw the water up in the air, it breaks into much smaller droplets, so there’s even more surface for water vapor to come off of. Also, when you throw the boiling water up (especially in below zero temperature), air has more water vapor than it has room for. So the vapor precipitates out by clinging to microscopic particles in the air forming crystals. This is the same basic principle that creates the formation of snowflakes.
Don’t believe? Try it for yourself!!!

What is cost analysis? Cost–benefit analysis known as CBA, sometimes known as benefit–cost analysis BCA, is a systematic process of calculating & comparing profit and costs of a project, decision or government policy (hereafter, "project"). CBA has two purposes:
To decide if it is a sound investment-decision (justification-feasibility),
To offer a basis for comparing projects. It mainly involves comparing the total expected cost of each option against the total expected benefits, to see whether the benefits outweigh the costs, and by how much.

The Gettysburg Address was a famous speech in American history.
During Day 2, CNB journalist Ron Wieland claimed on the news that he had found evidence of an imminent terrorist attack and then had been held against his will in the Northwest Regional Operations Complex for several hours. President David Palmer was forced to issue a statement around 5:00 pm confirming the threat but promising that the matter was under control. After it was over, Palmer commented to Mike Novick that it was hardly the Gettysburg Address, but would tide over the press for the time being. ("Day 2: 5:00pm-6:00pm")
Background information and notesEdit
- The Gettysburg Address, one of the best-known speeches in American history, was delivered by President Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Gettysburg Soldiers' National Cemetery on November 19, 1863.

The site of Fort Barrington
|Nearest city||Cox, Georgia|
|Area||10 acres (4.0 ha)|
|NRHP Reference #||72001447|
|Added to NRHP||September 27, 1972|
Fort Barrington, renamed Fort Howe during the American Revolutionary War, was a fort in Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 27, 1972. The fort is located on the Altamaha River, northwest of Cox, Georgia, near Sansavilla.
The fort was used by the British from 1751 until the 1780s, first in defense from the Spaniards and Indians, and then during the Revolutionary War. It changed hands during the Revolutionary War. It was used during the American Civil War. A historical marker for the site is located on Georgia State Route 57 at the Long County - McIntosh County line. There are no remains.
The site is not officially historical because the land, and the land around it is owned by a club and officials can not access it because of that. The owners of the land just bought more of land around it because of people trespassing on the land to see the site. During the fort's time a big thick metal line was across the river the pull a boat across the river. The line now rests at the bottom of the river. Many pieces can be found from the fort like bricks, bullets, arrow heads, and little defensive sites in the area around it. Many pieces can be found around the site.

This Essays Explains what Caused the Civil War
Causes of the Civil War
The main cause of the Civil War was slavery. The southern states depended on slavery to support their economy. The southerners used slaves to produce crops, especially cotton. The debate between the north and south was that should slavery be permitted in the western territories. The north was against slavery so they were worried about it expanding over into the western territories.
The American Revolution had been fought to validate the idea that all men were created equal. At the Constitutional Convention there were arguments over slavery. …

Quickly being able to recognize the symptoms of a stroke can make the difference between life and death. According to the Reader’s Digest, “Often, stroke isn’t treated as an emergency. The problem? One in three Americans can’t identify any of the symptoms.” The symptoms of a stroke can easily be remembered by the acronym “F.A.S.T.”
Face. Ask the person to smile. A stroke can cause one side of the face to droop. Abrupt dimming of vision or a sudden, severe headache with no known cause are also warning signs.
Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. If one arm drifts downward, that could signal a stroke, which can trigger weakness, numbness or paralysis of an arm or leg, particularly on one side of the body.
Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Stroke victims may slur their words, have trouble speaking or understanding speech, or not be able to talk at all.
Time. If the person has any of these symptoms, call 911. Stroke is a life-or-death emergency in which every minute counts.

What is cryptocurrency?
A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure the transactions and to control the creation of new units. Cryptocurrencies are a subset of alternative currencies, or specifically of digital currencies. Bitcoin became the first decentralized cryptocurrency in 2009. Since then, numerous cryptocurrencies have been created. These are frequently called altcoins, as a blend of bitcoin alternative.
Today, there are over 200 digital currencies in existence. Entry into the marketplace is undertaken by so many due to the low cost of entry and opportunity for profit.
What are faucets?
Faucets are a reward system that gives away free Bitcoins or altcoins. The first faucet was developed by Gavin Anderson, one of the lead developers of Bitcoin. Rewards vary per site but generally dispense at various predetermined intervals of time.
Why do these sites give away free money? Faucets are a great way to introduce new people to Bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrencies, thereby both promoting each currency and providing new users with an easy to way to get their first coins. You can also make money. By visiting each faucet you provide income to the faucet provider and in return you are rewarded with a small amount of coin. By visiting many faucets you can quickly accumulate coin for yourself!

Is it h1n1 swine flu or the regular flu?By
The big question that seems to be on everyone’s mind is:
Do I have the swine flu or the regular flu? How can I tell? What are h1n1 symptoms?
The H1N1 Swine Flu can only really be confirmed with an actual lab test. And, there isn’t a 100% tell tale sign in the form that you have novel h1n1 influenza. It would be nice if your skin turned bright pink or you started oinking uncontrollably. If only we were that lucky.
It’s not close to 100%, but there is one sign that hints that an adult might have the swine flu.
Diarrhea and Vomiting.
Adults don’t normally have diarrhea with the flu. That is usually only common with kids.
Otherwise Swine Flu has the same symptoms as regular flu including:
- Sore Throat
- Respiratory Problems
- Body Aches
Remember, having Diarrhea and Vomiting is only an indicator. You can still have the h1n1 swine flu without these symptoms. And that also holds true for the other way around. You still might just have the regular seasonal flu accompanied with diarrhea and vomiting.
Only a lab test will confirm h1n1 flu.
Also remember this doesn’t include children. It’s not uncommon for children to have the all the swine flu type symptoms with the regular flu. And with kids it’s better to be safe then sorry, so take them to the doctor.
As we get more research in. We’ll try to narrow this down more for you. If we find that there is a more obvious sign, we’ll post it here, ASAP!!
Make sure your friends are aware of www.h1n1-symptoms.org.

Historically print thickness has been defined on printed segements greater than 20 mils wide. With a given screen and materials selection, print thickness may not be as expected; when fine lines are considered. There is usually a "hump" in the data curve as shown in the figure above. Causes for this as primarily materials.
- Rheological characterics of the conductor paste
- Wetting and release characteristics from the screen & emulsion
- Wetting and leveling characteristics to substrate (dielectric).
Typically, this "hump occurs on line widths that are between 0.01" and 0.018". As you can see print thickness drops off quickly as lines become narrower.
Know your conductors effect because:
- If inner layer circuit in multilayer circuit; it may print thicker than desire. Hence increase chances of between layer shorts.
- Narrow lines may have variable thickness which can impact bonding
- Choosing screens with focus on fine line may make solder pads too thin.
We have design curves for some of our newer conductor products, please contact us.

Water— or the lack of it— has shaped the contours of the American West and continues to dominate the region's development. From the incursions of the Spanish conquistadores to the dams of the New
Deal era, humans have sought water in these arid lands as the key to survival-and —success. And as the West becomes more urbanized, water is an issue as never before. This book sets contemporary
and often bitter debates over water in their historical contexts by examining some of the most contentious issues that have confronted the region over five centuries. Seventeen contributors—
representing history, geography, ethnography, political science, law, and urban studies— provide an interdisciplinary perspective on the many dimensions of water in the West: Spanish colonial water
law, Native American water rights, agricultural concerns, and dam building. A concluding essay looks toward the future by examining the impact of cities on water and of water marketing on the western
economy. As farmers and ranchers from Kansas to California compete for water with powerful urban economies, the West will continue to be reshaped by this scarce and precious resource. Fluid
Arguments clearly shows that many of the current disputes over water take place without a real appreciation for the long history of the debate. By shedding new light on how water allocation is
established— and who controls it— this book makes a vital contribution to our understanding of water and growth in the region. CONTENTS
In a year when the Rio Grande runs dry in south Texas, and Klamath Basin farmers seethe over federal irrigation reductions, nothing could be more timely than a book analyzing five centuries of western water conflict. . . . These essays indicate the vitality of even so well-trod a field as water history.
—Western Historical Quarterly
Given the quality and quantity of works addressing the scarcity of water in the American West, readers might ask whether this edited volume offers something new. It does. . . . Rather than employing a singular lens crafted by Anglo-American law and economics, Fluid Arguments offers a prism through which contemporary controversies about water are illuminated and complicated by Native American and Spanish cultures.

From our archives, 100 years ago
Little Arthur Howell, 8, disappeared from the Washington Home Finding Society, a kind of orphanage or foster home.
Then he experienced more than two days of adventure. He “walked miles, made many new acquaintances and played happily.”
On the first day, he made his way to the home of I.X. Lee and told Lee he was the guest of a neighbor. He played with the children of the neighborhood. When Lee said it was time for Arthur to return to the neighbor’s house, the boy left without complaint.
Apparently, he spent the night in a barrel. He came back to Lee’s house the next day and played with the children of the neighborhood. Again, he spent the next night in a barrel.
When he came back the third day, Mr. Lee had seen a story in the paper about a missing boy. He questioned Arthur, who admitted that he was indeed the missing boy.
Arthur was returned to the Washington Home Finding Society. The wife of the superintendent said she would not spank Arthur, for two reasons. First, she did not believe in that kind of punishment.
Second, “Arthur has never had much of a chance in life.”

A South View of Eltham, commonly called King John's Palace in Kent
Artist: Lens, AB
Medium: Pen and ink on paper
This former royal manor house was developed into a magnificent palace during the 15th and 16th centuries. It became known as King John's palace after John II of France was held captive here by Edward III.
Henry VIII was a frequent resident and issued his Eltham Ordnances from here in 1525. Daniel Defoe commented in the 1720's: "Queen Elizabeth was often carry'd, as they say, to Eltham by her nurses to suck in the wholesome air of that agreeable place; but at present there are few or no signs of the old palace to be seen."

What You Need:
- Piece of cardboard
- Paper hole punch
- White glue
- Pair of scissors
- Small spool
- Sheet of paper
What You Do:
- Cut a 4-inch square out of the cardboard.
- Punch a hole in the center of the cardboard. The hole should be the same size as the hole in the spool. If using a spool with yarn or string wrapped around it remove the string.
- Glue the spool to the cardboard on top of the hole. Make sure the holes line up. Use enough glue to assure that no air can escape between the spool and the piece of cardboard.
- Cover the top of the spool with a circle of paper. Glue it to the spool and allow to dry.
- Punch a hole in the middle of the paper cover where the hole of the spool is. Now your hole should run through the paper, spool, and cardboard without any obstructions.
- Inflate the balloon and pinch the end to keep the air from escaping. Stretch the balloon over the top of the spool.
- Set the hovercraft on a level surface (table top, floor, etc) and let go of the balloon. Give the hovercraft a few gently pushes.
The air flowing from the balloon through the holes forms an air cushion between the craft and the flat surface, which reduces the force of friction (the resistance that occurs when two object rub against each other). With little friction to slow it down the hovercraft shoots across the table!

Conspicuous disturbances in archaeological sites are readily detected during excavation. However, one animal whose destructive effects are not often recognized is the earthworm. Work at the Carlston Annis mound in Kentucky, an Archaic shell midden, has resulted in the identification of areas of extensive earthworm disturbance. Archaeological sites most readily affected are those with the appropriate vegetation cover, moisture and temperature conditions, and available chemical elements. The type of disturbance a site will undergo depends on the species of earthworms present. Subsurface-casting species mix matrix only below the surface while surface-casting species bring the fine-grained matrix to the surface, thus concentrating larger objects below ground. If earthworm casts are identified in a profile, one should proceed cautiously with interpretations concerning soil matrix.

Can There Be a Written Constitution?
University of Oxford - Faculty of Law
May 8, 2009
Oxford Legal Studies Research Paper No. 17/2009
The existence of unwritten constitutions, such as that of the UK, strikes some as puzzling. However the existence of unwritten constitutions turns out to be easier to explain than the existence of written constitutions, such as that of the US. In this paper I explore, and attempt to answer, some tricky conceptual questions thrown up by written constitutions.

5. Discharged at cathode.
Q3. Name one metal each occurring as,
1. A sulphide.
2. A carbonate
3. An oxide
Q4. Explain the following terms.
1. Minerals: - The naturally occurring compounds of metals along with other impurities are known as minerals.
2. Gangue: - Ores contain metal compounds with some of the impurities like soil, sand, rocky material etc. These impurities are called as gangue.
3. Ores: -The minerals from which metals are extracted profitably and conveniently are called ores.
4. Metallurgy: - The process used for extraction of metals in their pure form from their ores is called metallurgy.
5. Roasting: - The sulphide ores are first converted into oxides by heating strongly in excess of air. This process is called as roasting.
Q5. Give scientific reasons for the following.
1. Sodium is stored under kerosene.
i. Sodium is a highly reactive metal.
ii. Sodium reacts with oxygen in air at room temperature to form, sodium oxide.
iii. Therefore, it catches fire and starts burning when open in the air.
iv. Hence, sodium is stored under kerosene to prevent its reaction with oxygen, moisture and carbon dioxide.
2. Gold and silver are used to make jewellery.
i. Gold and silver are highly inactive metals. Therefore, they do not undergo corrosion due to attack by moisture and atmospheric gases.
ii. Gold and Silver are very shiny metals (lustrous).
iii. They are used to make jewellery because of its bright shiny surface and high resistance to corrosion.
3. Calcium floats over water during the reaction with water.
i. Calcium reacts with water less vigorously so that the heat evolved is not sufficient for the hydrogen formed, to catch fire.
ii. Instead, calcium starts floating because the bubbles of hydrogen gas formed stick to the surface of the water calcium.
4. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points
i. Ionic compounds are solids and hard due to strong force of attraction between positive and negative ions in their molecules.
ii. A considerable amount of energy is required to break the strong inter molecular attraction.
iii. Hence ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
5. Tarnished copper utensils are cleaned with lime juice or tamarind.
i. When copper utensils are exposed to moist air, they get tarnished or corroded due to the formation of green copper carbonate.
ii. When these tarnished vessels are rubbed with lime juice or tamarind the weak acids present in them dissolve the green copper carbonate and original shine returns.
Q6. Sudha dipped a copper coin in a solution of silver nitrate. After some time she saw the silver shine on the coin. Why? Give the balanced chemical equation for the same.
1. Copper is more reactive than silver. Hence displacement reaction occurs.
2. When copper coin is dipped in silver nitrate solution forming copper nitrate and silver metal.
3. A shining white deposit of silver metal is formed on copper coin. Hence she saw a silver shine on the copper coin.
2AgNO3(ag) + Cu(s) → Cu(NO3)2(ag) + 2Ag(s)
Q7. Metal A has electronic configuration of 2,8,1 and metal B has 2,8,8,2 which is more reactive. Identify these metals and vie their reactions with dil HCl.
Ans. Metal A is Sodium (Na) : 2,8,1
Metal B is Calcium (Ca) : 2,8,8,2.
Metal A (Sodium) is more reactive than metal B (Calcium).
i. Sodium metal reacts violently with dilute hydrochloric acid to form sodium chlorides and hydrogen.
2Na(a) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2(g)
ii. Calcium reacts less vigorously to form calcium chloride and hydrogen.
Ca + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2
Q8. To obtain (zinc) Zn from zinc sulphide two chemical reaction are involved
Write the equations for A and B.
Ans. Equation for A: Roasting is the process in which a sulphide ore is strongly heated in the presence of air to convert it into metal oxide.
Equation for B : Zinc metal is extracted by the reduction of its oxide with carbon (or coke). Thus, when, Zinc oxide is heated with carbon, Zinc metal is produced.
Q9. Translate the following statements into chemical equation and then balance them.
1. When steam is passed over aluminium.
Ans. Aluminium reacts with steam to form aluminium oxide and hydrogen gas.
2. Extraction of copper from its sulphide ore.
i. The concentrated copper sulphide ore is roasted in air when a part of copper sulphide is oxidized to copper oxide.
ii. Copper oxide formed above reacts with the remaining copper sulphide to form copper metal and sulphur dioxide.
3. Thermit reaction.
Ans. Iron oxide reacts with aluminium to give iron and aluminium oxide evolving lot of heat.
4. When magnesium reacts with hot water.
Ans. Magnesium reacts with hot water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen.
5. What happens when aluminium oxide dissolves in aqueous sodium hydroxide?
Ans. Aluminium oxide being amphoteric in nature dissolves in aqueous sodium hydroxide to form water soluble sodium aluminate.
Q10. In the extraction of aluminium
1. Name the process of concentration of Bauxite.
2. Write the cathode reaction in electrolytic reduction of alumina.
3. Write the function and formula of cryolite in the extraction of aluminium.
4. Write an equation for the action of heat on aluminium hydroxide.
5. Draw the diagram of extraction of aluminium.
6. Why is it necessary to replace anodes time to time?
7. What happens when aluminium ore is heated with concentrated caustic soda. Write the balanced chemical equation for the same.
i. The process of concentration of Bauxite is done by Bayer’s Process.
ii. The positively charged aluminium ions (Al3+) are attracted to the cathode (negative electrode). The aluminium ions accept electrons from the cathode and get reduced to form aluminium atoms (or aluminium metal).
Cathode reaction :
iii. Alumina has a very high melting point (>20000C). Cryolite lowers the fusion temperature from 20000C to 10000C and enhances conductivity.
Chemical formula of cryolite:
vi. As the anode gets oxidized during the electrolysis of alumina. It has to be replaced from time to time.
vii. When aluminium or is heated with caustic soda
solution under high pressure for 2 to 8 hours
soluble sodium aluminate is formed.
Q11. Write two methods of preventing rusting of iron.
i. The most common method of preventing the rusting of iron is to coat its surface with paint or apply grease, oil or varnish.
ii. Rusting of iron can be prevented by galvanization. The process of depositing a thin layer of Zinc metal on Iron objects is called galvanization.
Q12. What is an alloy? Give two examples with their chemical composition.
Ans. An alloy is a homogenous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non – metal in definite proportion.
i. Brass – copper and zinc.
ii. Stainless steel – iron, nickel and chromium.
Q13. Arrange the following metals in the decreasing order of chemical reactivity, Cu, Mg, Fe, Na, Ca, Zn.
Ans. The arrangement of metals in the decreasing order of their chemical reactivity are Na > Ca > Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu.
Q14. Explain the formation of an ionic compound between metal and a non – metal by transfer of electrons with Mg as the metal and Cl as a non – metal to illustrate your answer.
Ans. Magnesium is a metal whereas chlorine is a non – metal. Magnesium reacts with chlorine to form an ionic compound magnesium chloride.
The atomic number of magnesium is 12, so its electronic configuration is 2,8,2. It has 2 valance electrons. A magnesium atom donates its 2 valence electrons (to two chlorine atoms) and forms a stable magnesium ion,
The atomic number of chlorine is 17, and its electronic configuration is 2,8,7. Chlorine atom has 7 valance electrons, so it requires only 1 more electrons to complete its octet. Since, one magnesium atom donates 2 electrons, so, two chlorine atoms take these two electrons and form two chloride ions.
The positively charged magnesium ions and negatively charged chloride ions are held together by electrostatic force of attraction to form magnesium chloride
Q15. An element x on reacting oxygen forms an oxide X2O. This oxide dissolves in water and turns red litmus blue. State whether element X is a metal or a non – metal. Explain with proper example.
Ans. The element X is very likely to be a non – metal because most of the oxides of non – metals are acidic and are soluble in water.

The Use of Orientations in Children's Drawings: Aspects of Representational Rule Use.
It has been suggested that drawings are symbolic constructions which follow certain rules. In order to investigate one aspect of representational rule use in drawing, (an object's orientation), 36 kindergarten, second, and fourth grade children were asked to draw familiar objects placed in several orientations or an orientation of their choice. The results suggest that the orientation drawn is more likely to be consistent with representational rules than with the view before the child. Analogies with another symbol system, language, are discussed. (Author/RH)

A blood test is 90% effective in detecting a disease. It also falsely diagnoses that a healthy person has the disease 3% of the time. If 10% of those tested have the disease, what is the prob. that a person who tests positive will actually have the disease?
Is this right?
P(Has Disease | Positive test) = 0.90 * 0.1 / 0.90 * 0.1 + 0.03 * 0.1 = 0.96

Most people are unaware they have genital herpes because they do not have symptoms. Some people may have mild symptoms or mistake their symptoms for something else, such as jock itch or a yeast infection. Sexual contact with others can spread the infection even if symptoms are not present.
If recognizable symptoms do occur, they usually appear 4-7 week of exposure. There may be an early period of symptoms just before the the skin lesions appear, which may include:
Flu-like symptoms may also occur including:
Genital herpes is marked the initial outbreaks, healing, and recurrences. Outbreaks may cause:
Blisters may become painful open sores. Outbreaks usually appear on or inside the genital and/or anal areas. Examples include the penis, vulva, cervix (the entrance to the uterus), rectum, or urethra (the tube that carries urine from the body). Lesions can also appear on the buttocks or upper thighs.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The lesions usually heal without scarring within 2-6 weeks. At the end of the outbreak, a crust forms over the outer layer of the sore and the crust eventually falls off. This indicates a period of inactivity. Even though you don't have visible signs of genital herpes during inactive periods, it is important to know you can still transmit the virus to others.
Outbreaks may occur a number of times throughout the year, or may only occur once or twice in a lifetime. The frequency of outbreaks varies from person to person. The first year after the initial infection is usually the most severe and painful, with a second outbreak often happening only a few weeks later. As time goes on, recurrences tend to become milder and shorter in duration. Often, recurrences are signaled by symptoms where the virus first entered your body.
Infection with the HSV-2 virus is associated with more frequent recurrences than an infection with HSV-1 virus.
Untreated, genital herpes can cause complications such as:

Bulk Herbs Promote Healthy Lives
In England and Canada it’s pronounced herbs with an h, and in America it’s ‘erbs.’ No matter how you pronounce it, the incredible value of bulk herbs for our health and well being is the same worldwide. It is difficult to overestimate their value, and here are a few reasons why.
Though both are health chemicals, drugs and herbs are used in different ways. Herbs offer a holistic approach by treating the cause, and working with the whole body. Medicines, on the other hand, tend to treat one symptom with one ingredient. Then too, while herbs are used more in preventative and healing ways, drugs are used to treat diseases or symptoms of diseases.
Bulk herbs have stood the test of time. The use of herbs can be traced back 5000 years in China for prevention, healing, and relaxation. Herbs are natural and thus they tend to yield better results with fewer side effects. At times medicines must be given to override the side effects of other medicines.
Herbs are generally much cheaper than drugs, though insurance rarely covers herbal remedies. The nutritional value of bulk herbs is increasingly being researched. Herbs contain a wide variety of vitamins and minerals that help strengthen the immune system. In a day when the cost of medicine is rising out of reach, herbs will surely regain their previous appeal.
When first discovered, antibiotics were toted as miracle drugs. However, their overuse has brought us to the frightening prospects of the return of deadly diseases in more lethal forms. This has not been true of herbs. Though, to be sure, herbs can be overused and their individual value overestimated, viruses and bacteria do not generally mutate to override their effectiveness.
Herbs are extensively used in toothpastes, shampoos, soaps, cosmetics, oils, herbal creams & ointments, sprays, lotions, tinctures, and even in cooking. This plethora of uses shows how valuable bulk herbs are for the entire body, both for our health and well being.
Those who believe in intelligent design recognize that the one who made man also made herbs for the good of man. It is common knowledge that plants and animals work together in a symbiotic relationship through photosynthesis and respiration. Thus, it is not surprising to see other interdependence in nature. Herbs are God’s gift to us for our good. As the poet once said, “For every disease we know, God provides a herb to grow.”
Finally, unlike medicine that will only deal with the symptoms, those who use herbs are more willing to deal with the social and cultural context in which the illnesses occur. For example, a set of symptoms may have resulted from stress. A suppressant may calm the nerves but it does not deal with the stress. In fact, at times, some drugs actually hinder a person from being able to think through the root problem clearly. Bulk herbs don’t eliminate stress, but they may sooth a person so they can think clearly about the root causes. And in the process, herbs won’t harm the body or mind.
Bulk herbs won’t work miracles. They are simply natural substances that can provide basic needs for the human body. The medical community today too often dismisses as folklore the proven value of herbs and natural remedies. Why not consider an alternate approach to your health needs?

Scientists use a wide variety of old and new technology to measure these things.
Temperatures of both water and air are measured locally by a very old and commonplace technology: a thermometer. Thermometers are in weather balloons, weather stations, and ocean bouys.
Temperatures of wide areas, used to gauge climatic trends, are measured by satellites using infrared cameras. Infrared radiation is more commonly known as heat energy. Warmer areas will give off more heat energy naturally.
Wind directions at low altitudes are measured by an old technology that you can see on barns throughout the nation. It's called a weather vane. Wind speed is measured by anemometers. At moderate altitudes, weather balloons measure wind speed and direction via built in GPS devices measuring where the balloon travels from its release point.
At higher altitudes, radar measures the direction and windspeed by bouncing radio waves off water droplets in the air. They use both satellites and ground based units for this.

When Your Child Has Laryngomalacia
Your child has laryngomalacia. This is a condition that causes your child to have noisy breathing. Although the breathing may be loud, your child is not choking. This condition usually goes away over time.
What is laryngomalacia?
Laryngomalacia happens because the upper part of the voice box (larynx) is floppy or soft. Usually, the epiglottis from the front and 2 paired pieces of cartilage called the arytenoids from the back are involved in this intermittent closure. The job of the epiglottis is to help keep food from getting into the windpipe (trachea). When your child breathes in (inhales), the floppy epiglottis and arytenoids collapse. This causes your child to have noisy breathing.
What causes laryngomalacia?
It is not known why the condition happens in some children. What is known is that it’s not your fault or the fault of your healthcare provider.
What are the signs and symptoms of laryngomalacia?
Stridor is the high-pitched sound that’s made when your child breathes in. It is the most common symptom of laryngomalacia. Stridor may sound worse when your child is lying on his or her back or if he or she has a cold. It may also worsen as your child grows and becomes more active. This is normal. Stridor will stop as the condition goes away.
How is laryngomalacia diagnosed?
Your child’s healthcare provider will take a medical history and examine your child. The healthcare provider will likely refer you to an otolaryngologist, a healthcare provider who specializes in care of the ears, nose, and throat (ENT). In some cases, a laryngoscopy (a test that lets the ENT healthcare provider see inside the larynx) is also done. With a laryngoscopy, a thin, usually flexible scope is passed through the nose or mouth into the throat. It allows the ENT healthcare provider to look for problems with the epiglottis, larynx, and the area around the larynx.
How is laryngomalacia treated?
In most cases, the condition fixes itself. It usually goes away by
Call the healthcare provider
Call your healthcare provider if your child:
Has trouble breathing.
Turns blue in the face.
Makes excessive noise while breathing when running or playing.
Tips to reduce reflux
Babies with laryngomalacia may have trouble keeping food down. This means food often comes back up into the mouth (reflux). Follow any instructions the healthcare provider gives you to reduce your child’s reflux. The following precautions for feeding your child can help:
Hold your child in an upright position during feeding and at least
30minutes after feeding. This helps keep food from coming back up.
Burp your child gently and often during feeding.
Avoid juices or foods that can upset your child’s stomach, like orange juice and oranges.
Talk to your child’s healthcare provider if food comes up a lot during feeding. You may be told to give your child less milk to avoid reflux.
Never lay your baby flat on his or her back with a propped bottle.

Usually an exploit takes advantage of a specific vulnerability in an application and becomes ineffective when that vulnerability is patched. Zero-day exploits are those that are used or shared by hackers before the software vendor knows about the vulnerability (and so before there is any patch available).
To secure against exploits, you should make sure your antivirus or endpoint security software is active and your computers are fully patched. This includes the operating system (OS) as well as applications.

I thought it would be fitting to take a break from studying for my ACT to talk about stress. What does it really mean when someone says they’re stressed? April is Stress Awareness Month; though I’m sure we can agree that every month feels like stress awareness month.
There are several different types of stress. Acute “motivational” stress helps us be productive. Chronic stress results from prolonged emotional pressure. Posttraumatic stress comes from any event that results in psychological trauma.
Stress manifests itself in many different ways and can be harmful if not managed properly.
But stress is not always bad. By design, stress is there to help us.
Stress, in medical terms, is the physiological response to a perceived threat. When the central nervous system senses a threat, signals are sent that release stress hormones such as epinephrine and cortisol. The release of these hormones into the bloodstream, in turn, triggers specific physiological responses such as accelerated heart and respiratory rates, muscle tension, perspiration and more. This is ideal when it comes down to a “fight-or-flight” moment; your body is ready to react. When this stimulation of your central nervous system is prolonged, then there can be physical problems.
When stressed, the immune system stops functioning at its full capacity. This explains how students often get sick following exam periods. However, this weakening of your immune system has deeper implications: cancer. Your immune system may not be able to fight off tumors as efficiently when under stress. New blood vessels that feed tumors may also form. A study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation shows that stress hormones, such as adrenaline, can directly fuel the growth and spread of tumors. Many experts agree that there is much ambiguity surrounding the correlation between stress and cancer. However, in many anecdotes involving cancer, the patient describes a very stressful event occurring not long before they were diagnosed.
Studies show that 75% or more of visits to a primary care physician are stress related. So instead of going to your doctor, there are many ways to relieve stress.
1. One easy way is to laugh more. Laughing releases endorphins that make you feel good and counter stress.
2. Take deep breaths. It’s not a cliché, it actually does slow your heart rate and increases oxygen intake.
3. Don't dwell on the stressful things. Think of an upcoming vacation or something that makes you happy.
4. Listen to music. This releases dopamine which results in a good relaxed feeling.
5. Lastly, workout. Physical activity and high water intake will keep you feeling renewed and stress free.
Now where did I put that practice test…

When you see something like 75% it means 75/100 which equals .75. Converting to percent is the opposite and means to multiply by 100 which is the inverse of dividing by 100.

Advert for the Cyclostyle Duplicating Machine
Medium: Print on paper
The late 19th century was a time of huge innovation in printing and publishing. In the 1880s alone, several hundred patents were granted to scientists and industrialists trying to develop efficient printing machines.
In 1881, an American called David Gestetner invented a simple stencil perforator that he called the Cyclostyle. It used a pen with a miniature toothed wheel on the end. The wheel rolled along the page in line with the pen, punching tiny perforations in the sheet to create a stencil. The stencils were then inked and pressed with a roller: a messy but effective means of duplication.

The definite article of Arabic is الـ (Alif-Laam), known as لام التارف (Laam Al-tarif).
The first letter of the laam al-tarif is a Hamzat-Wasl (همزة وصل), an alif with a Saad (ص) written above it (ٱ). We do not write the ص on the alif in writing (we simply know it is there, as no words in Arabic begin with Alif (only Alif with Hamza (أ)). A Hamzat-Wasl takes the sound of a vowel immediately before it, if there is one. If not, it makes the same sounds a fatha at the beginning of the word (أَ).
An example of the hamzat-wasl taking the sound of a preceding vowel is الأُممُ الـمُتَّحِدة) (Al-Umamu ul-Muttahida), "The United Nations."
The spelling of laam al taareef,is with ain,and not alif. لام التعريف ،here it means the. But in some places it means 'all'.then it is known as laam aljins. Where jins,means the whole category. E.g.alhamdu=all praise الحمد

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
Credit & Copyright: T. Polakis
Explanation: Venus and Jupiter appeared unusually close together in the sky last month. The conjunction was easily visible to the unaided eye because Venus appears brighter than any background star. The two planets were not significantly closer in space - Venus just passed nearly in front of Jupiter as seen from the Earth. Visible in the above photograph are actually five planets. The faint dot near the top is Saturn. Venus is the brightest spot near the center, and Jupiter is just above it. Perhaps the hardest to see is Mercury, visible below Venus but above the foreground Earth. A single line nearly connects all the planets, a result of all planets orbiting the Sun in a single plane called the ecliptic.

The topic marking particle will either be ~은 or ~는, depending on whether the noun or pronoun ends in a consonant or vowel. 미니 is a name ending in a vowel. Therefore the topic marking particle that will be used is ~는. 정민 is a name ending in a consonant. The topic marking particle that will be used with consonants is ~은. The topic marking particle always comes after the noun or pronoun, never before it.
When do you use the topic marking particle? You use it when you want to change the topic or subject of a conversation. For example, let’s say two women are talking about what their children are doing now.
Woman 1: 현빈이 지금 자요 (Hyunbin is sleep(ing) now)
Woman 2: 그래요? 준수는 지금 공부해요 (Oh really? Junsu is study(ing) now)
Words used in the conversation: 지금 = now, 그래요 = really? 자요 = sleep, 공부해요 = study.
The first woman used the subject marking particle after her son’s name 현빈. In her case, 현빈 was the subject of her conversation. (Subject marking particle is 이 because 현빈 ends in a consonant. For more on the subject marking particle, look back at the last month’s posts ). However, the second woman used the topic marking particle 는 after her son’s name 준수. The second woman wanted to change the topic of her conversation to her son and what he is doing. That’s why she used the topic marking particle instead of the subject marking particle.
So whenever you have a shift in the conversation, you’ll use the topic marking particle instead of the subject marking particle. When the topic of the particle hasn’t changed, you won’t use the topic marking particle, you’ll just continue to use the subject marking particle. However in reality, especially in conversation, the subject marking particle can be easily omitted. This is especially true when the subject of the conversation is obvious to both parties.

House Plants/What Plant it is ?
I just bought a indoor plant and was not able to find out what plant is it. What I was looking for was how to take care of it. I would be very thankful if you could help me.
You have a POLYSICAS VARIEGATA, or a variegated Ming aralia.
Ming aralia, scientific name Polyscias fruticosa, is a versatile and easy-to-grow houseplant. Belonging to the family Araliaceae, this evergreen foliage plant is native to India and categorized under shrubs and bushes. Some botanists consider ming aralia as a dwarf tree, especially because of its variable height. Commercial propagation of this shrub is done by stem cuttings, root cuttings, and air-layering. Nevertheless, when the plant is in its active state (during summer), propagation by suckers is usually practiced. With basic care, you can surely maintain a disease-free ming aralia plant.
Ming Aralia Care Guidelines
The evergreen trifoliate leaves and unique branching pattern are notable features of the ming aralia plant. Branches are developed at regular intervals in the upright stem, giving it a symmetrical canopy shape. Depending upon the cultivar, the leaf shape is either obovate or lanceolate. Small inconspicuous flowers are developed in summer. As for caring for the plant, it is an outstanding decorative houseplant that requires minimal maintenance.
For planting the ming aralia, you can use a general potting mixture. It can be planted in different types of soil, as long as the soil is loose, well-drained, and rich in nutrients. As this houseplant cannot tolerate either waterlogged or dry soil, it is essential to add peat moss, loam, and sand in the potting mixture. For preparing the soil mixture on your own, add one part each of garden soil, humus, and perlite (or coarse sand). You can use a small amount of lime dust to avoid soil acidity.
The ming aralia plant thrives well in partial sunlight. When maintained indoors, it performs best in bright, indirect sunlight. Hence, for better growth, you can place this evergreen houseplant in an area facing a window, which receives sunlight. In case, you are living in a cold climatic region, use artificial light occasionally, particularly during the winter months.
The favorable temperature range for ming aralia is 60 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This houseplant cannot tolerate extreme cold conditions. Extreme cold (below 60 degrees Fahrenheit) for a prolonged period can cause the leaves to discolor and drop. Hence, make sure you maintain the temperature above the minimum tolerable level.
A medium to high humidity level is ideal for maintaining ming aralia as a houseplant. Exposure to prolonged low humidity condition can lead to yellowing and falling of leaves. In an extremely dry environment, this plant may lose all its leaves. So, to avoid this, you can use a room humidifier and maintain the preferable humidity level for the plant.
Watering the ming aralia tree should be done in such a way that the top portion of the soil remains moist. Regular irrigation is advisable during warm and active growing seasons. To be precise, keep the soil moist between two watering sessions. You can cut down irrigation frequency in winter, when the plant is in its inactive phase. Over-watering causes waterlogging and damage to the root system.
You can use balanced liquid fertilizers that are rich in essential plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and trace nutrients in the growing period. Fertilizing this houseplant thrice during the growing season is sufficient for proper growth. During winter, i.e., when the plant is in an inactive state, you can supplement it with adequate amounts of farmyard compost.
Repotting Ming Aralia
Repotting the ming aralia can be performed at any time throughout the summer months. While transplanting, special care should be taken so that the delicate roots are not damaged. Loosen soil around the main stem and take out the plant along with adhering soil. As the roots are not so extensive, you can replant them in another pot of the same size as the current one.
Common Plant Problems
Leaf staining is a common problem with this plant, caused as a result of dry soil and extreme cold climate. Destructive pests that infest ming aralia plants include spider mites, aphids, mealy bugs, and very rarely, scales. In order to keep these pests under control, you can use pesticides in an appropriate concentration. If you are not sure about the pest type, get it checked by a horticulturist and then apply the suggested pesticide.
Apart from growing this evergreen shrub as a regular houseplant, you can opt for its bonsai as well. When trained in the bonsai form, the vertical growing stem of this plant gives a unique appearance. Care for the ming aralia bonsai is same as that of regular sized plants, except that you should not over water and overfeed the plant. As it is slow-growing, occasional pruning and trimming in Spring are important to give the plant a desired shape.

Obesity and other eating-related problems are widespread and are associated with harmful physical, psychological, and social problems. The dramatic increases in rates of pediatric obesity has created a mounting need for psychologists and other mental health care providers to play a significant role in the assessment and treatment of youth with eating- and weight-related problems. Therefore, it is imperative for providers to be aware of the causes and consequences of eating- and weight-related problems and to be familiar with evidence-based assessment and intervention approaches. Currently, the most well-established intervention approaches are family-based behavioral treatments, and weight loss maintenance treatments with a socio-ecological focus are promising. This paper provides a comprehensive review of these topics and highlights the important roles that mental health care providers can have. Medical settings are often the patient’s first point of contact within the healthcare system, making mental health care providers in such settings uniquely suited to assess for a broad range of eating- and weight-related problems and associated comorbidities, to deliver relevant evidence-based interventions, and to make appropriate referrals. Moving forward, providers and researchers must work together to address key questions related to the nature of eating- and weight-related problems in youth and to achieve breakthroughs in the prevention and treatment of such problems in this vulnerable population.

The name ‘Plaster of Paris’ is derived from the term “gypsum” which is a mineral found in a district in Paris named Montmartre. It is a powdered substance, which only needs water for its mixture. You just need a few minutes to let it harden and you’re all set to use it for molding. It is commonly used in making furniture, figurines and even mannequins.
In the past, people created pots and figurines from mud clays and wood. With plaster molds, you can create a perfect replica of an item with less time and effort. This material can be used over and over again. Just fill the mold with this material, bake it, and you’re done!
In order to create more replicas, here are a few guidelines on how to make plaster of Paris molds.
- Prepare the materials to be used. You need to prepare a small bottle about 4” tall, modeling clay, a wooden box larger than the object to be used or about 6” x 6”, plaster of Paris, sand paper, and separating agent (ex. Petroleum jelly or Vaseline).
- Make the mold. Prepare the object to be molded. Cover the bottle with any thin piece of paper or cardboard of the same size. This is done to prevent the plaster from pouring into the bottle. Add a little of the separating agent all over the bottle for easy removal. Lay it inside the wooden box on top of the clay. Using your clay, cover up the side of the bottle until it is half buried. Since you are making two molds, you need to smoothen out the clay surface thoroughly. Mix the plaster of Paris with water and stir until it becomes a thick liquid substance. For best results, refer to the instructions on the label. You can now pour in the plaster in the wooden box immediately after mixing it. For about 15-20 minutes, the mixture will harden. To know if the mixture is ready, you can gently touch the surface of the mold. Turn the wooden box upside down and gently remove the clay. Now what you need to do is remove the bottle from the hardened plaster. You need to do it really slowly and surely so you won’t have to re-do the whole process. Use a sand paper to smoothen out the surface of the two molds. You can also lay the molds side by side on a flat surface to see whether they are of the same size and shape.
- Tips. One tip to share is to do a trial run before making the actual mold. Get a piece of clay larger than that of the printed shape and press it thoroughly. Join both molds together. Put an extra amount of clay (or as needed) to ensure that you get the right shape. Press both molds down on each other. Make sure that the replica must look exactly the same as that of the original piece. Cut or scrape the excess clay as necessary.
Quite easy isn’t it? Remember to practice making the mold first before making the actual one, and you’ll eventually get the hang of it.

SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK CHART
The severe weather outlook chart, Figure 11-1, is a 48-hour outlook for thunderstorm activity. This chart is presented in two panels. The left hand panel covers the first 24-hour period beginning at 12Z and depicts areas of possible general thunderstorm activity as well as severe thunderstorms. The right hand panel covers the following day beginning at 12Z and is an outlook for the possibility of severe thunderstorms only. This computer-prepared chart is issued once daily in the morning (about 08Z).
A line with an arrowhead delineates an area of probable general thunderstorm
activity. When facing in the direction of the arrow, the thunderstorm activity
is expected to the right of the line. An area labeled "APCHG" indicates
probable general thunderstorm activity may approach severe intensity. "Approaching"
means, that at the surface, winds are greater than or equal to 35 knots,
but less than 50 knots; and/or hail greater than or equal to 1/2 inch in
diameter, but less than 3/4 inch at the surface. In Figure 11-1, from 12Z/25
MAR to 12Z/26 MAR, general thunderstorms are forecast for much of the southern
half of the country except for Tennessee and portions of Arkansas, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Note that the southern tip of Florida
is not included in the general thunderstorm forecast area.
The hatched area indicates possible severe thunderstorms. Table 11-1 shows the risk of severe thunderstorms and possible coverage. In Figure 11-1, there is a slight (SLGT) risk of severe thunderstorms in portions of Texas and Oklahoma.
On this panel, only severe thunderstorms are forecast. As this forecast panel is beyond the initial 24-hour period, only areas of possible severe thunderstorms are outlined. No reference to the potential or coverage is indicated. In Figure 11-1, the right panel indicates the possibility of severe thunderstorms from Texas and Oklahoma across the mid and lower Mississippi River Valley into the Ohio River Valley.
USING THE CHART
The severe weather outlook is strictly for advanced planning. It alerts
all interests to the possibility of future storm development.

Look at the world climate map. Which climates do you know?
Use the following strategies to guess all the world climates.
I. Using background knowledge
Very often everything you know about the world (background knowledge) helps you understand the meaning of new English words. For example, you don't know the word arid ['send], but you see that arid climate is in Africa, and you know that there is a desert. Can you guess the word now?
Remember: The more you know about the world, the easier it is to learn and understand a foreign language.
II. Using visual aids
You could also guess the meaning of the word arid, because you could see it on the map. Using pictures, photos,

This is an early medical induction coil from around 1873. The coil is 9”x 3” conical shaped wooden surrounded by four brass terminal posts and electro magnetic interrupter coil at side. It has an iron wire core that pulls in and out to adjust intensity.
An induction coil or "spark coil" is a type of electrical transformer used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current supply. Voltage is repeatedly interrupted by a vibrating mechanical contact called an interrupter . They were widely used in medical electrotherapy devices from the 1880s to the 1920s. .
Made of mahogany, all original.
The plaque at the top reads: “Griggs Conical Electro Magnetic Machine, Patented Jan. 8th 1873, 33 Eastbourne Terrace Hyde Park London. Maker JR. Chislett, Plymouth”.

is a tool that helps to erase a file on the hard drive in order to avoid its recovery by a given program. This program is developed and published by CEZEO Software.
Disk selection: Disk Redactor
is first, allowing users to select the disk in which the file is stored. It is possible to directly choose a drive in order to erase all data stored therein. Before each deletion, the user will be asked to confirm the action.
Erasing: once all files are selected, Disk Redactor
users just need to tick on the file so as to remove it permanently. For that, a click on Wipe Disk is enough. So as to leave no trace, the program will write a big file with zeros so that they cannot be recovered any longer.
Command line: the path to the drive or the folder to wipe as well as other actions can be accessed with simple command line. This is greatly facilitating and quickening the process.
is a practical tool.

The vacuum company Dyson has created a bladeless fan that does not look like a fan at all. It is an open cylinder. Air is drawn into the machine and then amplified. The first bladeless fan hit the market in October 2009.
The link below will lead you to an informative video. In the video, Sir James Dyson, the inventor of the “Air Multiplier”, explains exactly how the bladeless fan works with nice visuals.

Alcman, fragment 30 (tr. David A. Campbell):
and he created three seasons, summer
and winter and the third, autumn,
and spring as a fourth, when
things grow but there is not enough to eat.
ὥρας δ᾿ ἔσηκε τρεῖς, θέρος
καὶ χεῖμα κὠπώραν τρίταν
καὶ τέτρατον τὸ ϝῆρ, ὅκα
σάλλει μέν, ἐσθίην δ᾿ ἄδαν
David A. Campbell, Greek Lyric Poetry
(1967; rpt. London: Bristol Classical Press, 1998), p. 216 (on this fragment):
Homer generally recognises three seasons, ἔαρ, θέρος, χεῖμα. At Od. 11.192 θέρος τεθαλυῖά τ᾽ ὀπώρη there is no distinction between θέρος and ὀπώρη, but the two are distinct at Od. 12.76 οὔτ᾽ ἐν θέρει οὔτ᾽ ἐν ὀπώρῃ. Hesiod refers to three seasons only: the first clear appearance of four seasons is in Hippocrates, Aph. 1.18, E. fr. 990N2.

Rifling in the Rifle or Handgun Bore
Why are some long guns called rifles? The drawing above shows the bore of a rifle or handgun barrel and a shotgun barrel. The spiral grooves inside the rifle barrel are called rifling. Rifles get their name from the rifling inside the barrels. The rifling inside a rifle barrel makes bullets spin. Spinning helps bullets fly accurately, point first, toward the target.
All modern rifles have rifling in the barrel. Modern handguns also have rifling in the barrel.
Most shotgun barrels do not have rifling in the barrels.

A plant nursery constructed
a hot water shower container to disinfest potted plants of frogs
and eggs prior to shipment and sales. Various plant species
were treated at 113-115.6°F to determine their tolerance to
hot water. Treatment caused mortality of adult coqui frogs
and eggs in 10 minutes. This trial demonstrated that hot water
treatment is feasible and effective on a commercial scale. View
photos of the facility, process, and results.
All research on coqui
frogs reported here was conducted in compliance with the University
of Hawai`i Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (Protocols
#02-029-3, 02-043-3, 02-028-3).

In the final scene of Act I, the Ghost appears to Hamlet and tells him that his uncle, Claudius, murdered Hamlet's father. Because the audience knows this, and no other character other than Hamlet knows it, this dramatic irony creates suspense and conflict.
In Act II, scene 1, Ophelia tells her father that Hamlet came to see her and acted very strangely. The audience knows from the previous scene that Hamlet is pretending to be insane, but Ophelia is unaware. This is another example of dramatic irony.
Sympathy and antipathy are opposite emotions. An audience that feels sympathy for a character likes him or her. When the character elicits feelings of antipathy in the audience, they dislike the character.
The absolute best example of dramatic irony in the first two acts of Hamlet is that the audience knows of Hamlet's desire to feign lunacy, while the other characters do not know of this. Dramatic irony, of course, is when the reader or audience knows something to be true that one or more of the other characters do not know to be true. In this case, Hamlet has made it expressly clear to us his desires:
As I perchance hereafter shall think meet / To put an antic disposition on. (1.5.171-172)
He has, therefore, told us that Hamlet himself will appear mentally disturbed even though he is most certainly not. Claudius, Polonius, Gertrude, and even Ophelia (not to mention Rozencrantz and Guildenstern) then spend Act 2 trying to spy on Hamlet in order to find out his true disposition. Hamlet and his audience know something significant that the above mentioned characters do not know. Although I have never heard dramatic irony delineated in the way you mention in your footnote, I would suggest that this is done out of antipathy here (as it is certainly not done out of sympathy).
