Decide exactly how you want to use a role-play What roles will the students play? What will the simulated scenarios be? What are your learning goals for students and how can you plan to help them to achieve them? Identify the target text, if applicable, and make sure that students are prepared to demonstrate understanding of it Assign student roles, or create a short list of possible roles. Create short descriptions of scenarios of the role-play.
Teacher explains the activity. Then, teacher selects a student volunteer to model a sample role-play in a “fish bowl” setting, with the other students watching.
As you model: · Show students that this isn’t embarrassing, so act comfortable and don’t be afraid to be a little bit of a ham. · Talk in the first person as your character, being careful to express the character’s intentions and motivations.
Teacher leads students in brief discussion of model. · What did students notice? · What did they learn about role-playing?
Ask questions such as: · What did you notice? · What did you learn about role-playing?
Students get into groups of two to four. Teacher distributes role-play scenario descriptions as well as role assignments.
The size of the groups should be dictated by the logic of the role-play scenarios. Each group needs the correct number of people to play the required parts. You can let students pick their roles from a defined set or assign them. As students are working, circulate among them, visiting with each group for about five minutes at a time, listening to their thinking and offering suggestions and extensions.
Teacher leads students in a discussion of role-play experience.
Ask questions including: · What did you notice as you were role-playing? · What issues came up? · What did you learn about the characters? · How did this feel?
Optional: One group “fishbowls” their role-play with the rest of the class watching.
This can be a nice step and can help students to gain perspective on the range of responses to the activity. Students can also participate in an analysis of a role-play as it is occurring.
Students reflect on their learning for the day either in conversation or in writing.
Students should respond to questions such as: · What did you learn about the text or topic through today’s role-play? · How was today’s learning different from what you would have learned from reading or listening to a lecture? · How could role-playing help you in a different class? · When might it be most useful to role-play?

What cells in living organisms are haploid?
Haploid describes a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. The term haploid can also refer to the number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which are also called gametes. In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells.
What are examples of diploid and haploid cells?
In the higher organism, such as humans, all other cells beside sex cells are diploid. Examples of haploid cells are gametes (male or female germ cells). Examples of diploid cells include blood cells, skin cells and muscle cells. These cells are known as somatic cells.
What are the diploid cells?
Diploid describes a cell that contain two copies of each chromosome. Nearly all the cells in the human body carry two homologous, or similar, copies of each chromosome. The only exception is cells in the germ line, which go on to produce gametes, or egg and sperm cells.
What is haploid and diploid cell?
In Biology, learning about what is haploid and diploid is an important topic. According to various sources, the term ‘ploidy’ refers to the number of sets of chromosomes that are present within a nucleus. … Haploid cells contain one set of chromosomes. On the other hand, diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes.
Are skin cells haploid or diploid?
Explanation: Skin cells are diploid (blood, skin, muscle cells, etc.) Sex cells (sperm, egg cells) are haploid cells. In meiosis, a diploid cell splits into 4 haploid cells.
Which of the following cells are diploid?
A diploid cell is a cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes. This is double the haploid chromosome number. Each pair of chromosomes in a diploid cell is considered to be a homologous chromosome set.
Diploid Chromosome Number.
|Diploid Chromosome Numbers|
|Organism||Diploid Chromosome Number (2n)|
Where are haploid cells found?
A cell with only one of set of chromosomes is called [ diploid / haploid ] cell. These types of cells are found in the reproductive organs and are called [ germ / somatic ] cells. Sperm and egg cells are called [ gametes / zygotes ].

Living With Cancer: Small bowel cancer
Small bowel cancer: An Overview
Small bowel cancer is an uncommon type of cancer that occurs in the small intestine. Treatment options depend on the type of small bowel cancer and its stage. Here's what you should know.
Talking with your doctor about multiple myeloma
After a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, you may be filled with questions to ask your doctor. Here are some things to think about and ways to get the most out of your appointments.
Video: How cancer spreads
Cancer spreads, or metastasizes, when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through your bloodstream or lymphatic system to other parts of your body. The appearance of cancer cells and the way they spread vary depending on the type of cancer, and not all cancers metastasize. This video shows how a type of skin cancer called melanoma can metastasize.

Diesel engines usually perform better than their petrol counterparts in terms of extracting more mechanical energy or power from a given amount of fuel. They tend to last longer, are more reliable and efficient, and require less maintenance mainly because ignition tune-ups aren't needed. However, maintenance is still needed to ensure optimum performance. Regular diesel engine service is one way to ensure your engine is properly maintained and it involves aspects such as frequent changing of the air filters, the oils and faulty parts. One major difference between diesel engines and their petrol counterparts in terms of parts is that the former lack spark plugs. Instead, they use glow plugs. Faulty glow plugs will affect the performance of your diesel engine and here are signs that yours are failing.
Hard Starting Engine
Glow plugs play a crucial role in the engine ignition process, which means you may experience hard starting problems when they start failing. Unlike petrol engines that use a spark to ignite, diesel engines ignite by relying on the surrounding temperature as well as the pressure of the cylinder. Glow plugs provide the extra heat or temperature that the diesel engine needs to ignite the fuel mixture. With faulty glow plugs, this will happen inefficiently. In addition, there will be an additional pressure that your diesel engine will have to overcome. Both of these situations will result in the engine hard starting. When it's cold, the problem will worsen and the car may not even start at all because the diesel engine won't ignite at extremely low temperatures.
Another common sign associated with failing glow plugs is coloured or visible smoke coming from your exhaust. However, this does not only indicate that you have problematic glow plugs. Other engine problems such as an overheated engine, incorrect timing, faulty injection systems and clogged air systems can also exhibit similar signs. Bad glow plugs result in coloured exhaust, usually white or black, because they interfere with combustion processes taking place in the diesel engine.
Your diesel engine can also misfire if you are dealing with faulty glow plugs. Similar to hard starting, engine misfiring is a result of an insufficient amount of heat from the glow plugs. Engine misfires are oftentimes associated with decreased fuel efficiency as well as engine power, especially when you are accelerating.
Being keen to spot these problems will save you a significant amount of money in repairs and ensure your diesel engine lasts much longer.

The Murry J. Frank Planetarium is an extension of the Beaumont ISD classroom. Our
goal is to encourage the thoughtful, observing, and curious scientists in all our students
by using concrete models to represent the abstract concepts of space science.
Studying the night sky helps us find our place in time and space. Astronomy has existed
for as long as humans have lived on the Earth. Early man looked to the sky and noticed
how heavenly bodies moved in predictable patterns. These patterns allowed people to
track time in days, weeks, months, and years. The patterns of stars also helped them
identify where they were on their planet.
The Frank Planetarium seats 62 in its 30 ft dome and has a Spitz A3P Projector.

There are many different kinds of dental work. General dentistry offers general dental services, including twice-a-year appointments with the dentist as well as crowns and roots canals, dental fillings, and cavity fillings. General dentists see roughly 90% of all dental issues.
Specialist dentists serve those needing more advanced dental care. Specialist dentists are general dentists who focus on one major dental concern, such as orthodontics, cosmetic modifications, or another significant jobs.
Specialist dentists can also practice in hospitals. There are a variety of diseases that have warning signs in the mouth. These dentists can check for particular indicators and help to identify the disease. The gums’ redness and swelling could be a sign of diabetes. A stiff and painful jaw might be an indication of an attack on the heart or another cardiovascular conditions.
General and specialist dentists both use different tools to examine patients. Today’s technology lets dentists achieve better precision during corrective surgery, with less pain for patients and less period of recovery.

Sticking to a normal rhythm of drinking hydrogen water – 1-3 cups a day – can have more benefits than you might expect. A study found that hydrogen water is linked to improvements in cognitive functions and mood, as well as reduced feelings of anxiety and depression. Hydrogen water eliminates oxidative stress which accumulates in our cells as a result of daily workload, stress, and exercise. Oxidative stress has been linked to a variety of neurocognitive and neuropsychology effects like moodiness, anxiety, increased sympathetic function, and declined cognitive function. Drinking hydrogen water could be an important component to maintain good mental health.
Our body requires more fluids than normal when we engage in intense physical activities that make us sweat and leave us dehydrated. Dehydration affects the mind and the body, resulting in lower energy, dizziness, and agitation. So, when you start to feel the symptoms of dehydration coming on strong after intense physical activity, you’ll want to properly hydrate. Hydrogen-rich-water can help prevent dehydration since the hydrogen bubbles in the water are small enough to directly penetrate your cells with antioxidants that your body needs.
Chronic oxidative stress and inflammation cause deteriorations in central nervous system function, leading to low QOL. In healthy individuals, aging, job stress, and cognitive load over several hours also induce an increase in oxidative stress, suggesting that preventing the accumulation of oxidative stress caused by daily stress and daily work contributes to maintaining QOL and ameliorating the effects of aging. Hydrogen has anti-oxidant activity and can prevent inflammation, and may thus contribute to improving QOL. Therefore, drinking hydrogen-rich water every day is a great path to better health and a better mood!

Around three quarters of construction workers work on or near temporary structures, whose failures lead to more than 100 deaths, 4500 injuries, and damage costing $90 million each year in the United States. However, few of the temporary structural problems have been well addressed, especially when compared with the increasing improvements in permanent structures.Meanwhile, the review of leading causes of temporary structural failures identifies the need for improved methods, such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), to prevent potential structural hazards. This paper makes the first effort to examine CPS applicability in temporary structures, and potential benefits brought by CPS to temporary structural monitoring. Key definitions and features of CPS, CPS applications in both other industry sectors and the built environment, and applications of CPSenabling technologies in temporary structures are reviewed. It is concluded that CPS provides opportunity to address safetyand structural problems of temporary structures. For a clear understanding of how CPS works in structural monitoring, an application scenario of scaffolding system is presented. Finally, system requirements followed by a system architecture are identified.

Septic Tank Bacteria
Sewage typically contains 95% to 99% water.
Impurities in sewage
Often includes disease causing organisms (pathogens), including bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasitic worms. Usually measured by the presence of E.coli (a common type of bacteria found in the intestines).
100 mL of sewage contains around 10 million E. coli bacteria.
These are present in human wastes (feces) and in detergents. Typical levels are 15 to 20 mg per liter of sewage.
These are mostly present as ammonia or urea. Typical levels are up to 100 mg per litre of sewage.
Includes inert material such as sand and organic solids such as food scraps. Typical levels in sewage are 400 mg per litre.
Usually measured by BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) or COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand).
This can include feces, fats and oils. Typical BOD levels in sewage approximately 400 mg per liter.
Additionally, sewage will contain rags, plastics, sanitary products and other large solids.
Trace amounts of other compounds, including heavy metals and various organic compounds (e.g. pesticides, herbicides, and weedicides) will also be present, even in purely domestic sewage and in higher levels if incorrectly treated trade wastes have entered the sewerage system.

Frogs are amphibians and vertebrates of the order Anura. There is not much difference between frogs and toads, and they are not classified separately. This is because the toad lifestyle, with its dry, rough, skin, is an adaptation to living in drier habitats. The toad form has evolved a number of times independently, an example of convergent evolution.
|Various types of frogs.|
|Native distribution of frogs (in green)|
Frogs can live on land and in fresh water. They cannot survive in salt water. Their development is by metamorphosis. They usually hatch as tadpoles from eggs, which are laid by a female frog. The eggs are called frogspawn. Tadpoles have tails and gills. The next stage, the "froglet," develops lungs to breathe air instead of gills, but still have tails. The fully grown frog has long legs and no tail.
Adult frogs can jump with their legs. They have long tongues that they use to catch bugs. They make a sound called a croak. Some species live in trees, and some types of frog are protected by being poisonous. Frogs live all over the world. If a foreign species of frogs is introduced to another country, the local ecosystem might be affected.
Frog legs are sometimes eaten as food in France, China, and the Midwest of the United States. The killing of frogs might have an effect on the ecosystem. For example, frogs eat mosquitoes. If frogs are killed, then there are fewer frogs to eat mosquitoes, so more and more mosquitoes are born. Therefore, in these areas, there are more diseases that mosquitoes carry, because there are more mosquitoes. However, for this to apply, frogs would have to be a major predator of mosquitoes. This would only rarely be the case.
Frogs are cold blooded animals. This means that they need heat to keep up their body temperature. If the temperature outside is cold, amphibians will not be active. Amphibians can get heat from the sun, usually indirectly: whereas reptiles can bask in the sun, amphibia usually do not, because it dries their skin. Some frogs aestivate during winter or during droughts. They usually look for underground place to aestivate. These include burrowing in muds and holes. They survive by getting oxygen through their skin. They come out when the weather outside is favourable.
Frogs have skin with no scales or hair. They can take in oxygen from either water or air. Mucus that helps their skin to stay wet and slippery. Many amphibians have toxic skin. They have secretions which makes their skin poisonous.
Many frogs are semi-aquatic. They may live on both land and in water, and in any event prefer damp places. These include ponds, swamps, rivers and lakes. Most adults live where they grew up. Most amphibians lay their eggs in foam nests.
A toad is a large type of frog. It is not a scientific term, but a popular one. The reason it is not used in taxonomy is that the toad life-style has evolved a number of separate times in various groups of frogs.
All toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads. Toads mainly evolved in dry climates, so many toads have rougher, browner skin. Many toads also burrow, though that depends on the environment that the toad evolved in. Toads lay eggs in strings attached to rocks, unlike true frogs which lay eggs in a jelly-like mass. Also, toads generally have shorter legs and fatter bodies. Toads have paratoid glands behind their eyes which are used to make poison.
Even though it is true that most frogs develop from tadpoles, and tadpoles develop from eggs laid in water, there are exceptions. Normally the eggs are fertilised after they are laid, that is, outside the body. However, some use internal fertilisation, though how the males do it is not known. When they are fertilised internally, they also lay eggs, but this time the eggs are already fertilised.
However, a new species has been discovered in Sulawasi, Indonesia, which gives birth to live tadpoles. The frog is now known as Limnonectes larvaepartus. The Limnonectes family are known as 'fanged frogs' because of twin projections on their lower jaws that are used in fighting. Sulawesi is an island which is rapidly losing its forests. The tropical forest is where this frog lives.
Distribution and habitatsEdit
Despite these limitations, frogs are widespread, and have adapted to many climates, even deserts. They rely on specific adaptations to survive. Members of the genus Cyclorana live in the Australian central desert. They bury themselves underground where they create a waterproof cocoon in which to aestivate during dry periods. Once it rains, they come out, find a temporary pool, and breed. Egg and tadpole development is very fast in comparison to those of most other frogs, so breeding can be completed before the pond dries up.
Some frog species are adapted to a cold environment. The wood frog (Rana sylvatica), whose habitat extends into the Arctic Circle, buries itself in the ground during winter. Although much of its body freezes during this time, its high concentration of glucose in its vital organs protects them from damage.
There are a number of tiny tree frogs which develop from eggs laid in water pools on tropical leaves many meters above the ground. Most of these species do not come to the ground except to mate. Tree frogs have evolved a number of times, but they all have almost identical adaptations. Many millions of years of convergent evolution have resulted in almost identical morphology and habits.
Overall, frogs are a successful and widespread group. There are about 4,800 recorded species, which is over 85% of living amphibian species. They are one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders.

Lift Every Voice and Sing arr. Roland M. Carter
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” is often affectionately called the Black National Anthem in the United States. The lyrics were written in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson, who enlisted his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, to set them to music. The musical setting was complete in 1905.
According to Johnson, the poem was written for his students in Jacksonville, Florida, to use in a celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. On February 12, 1900, 500 schoolchildren at the segregated Stanton School in Jacksonville, where James Weldon Johnson was principal, recited “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
Roland M. Carter’s arrangement of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” is now 50 years old. I recently sat down with Dr. Carter to learn of the origins of his arrangement that has been sung by choirs throughout the world.
“I wanted people to embrace this song. Because, more than about black and white, it’s about man’s inhumanness to man. It is much more broader than black and white relationships.”
Enjoy these marvelous performances of Dr. Carter’s arrangement.

A) Hilly areas
B) laterite soil
D) arid regions
Correct Answer: C
Solution :[c] Mangroves are shrubs or small trees that grow in coastal saline or brackish water. Estuaries are bodies of water and their surrounding coastal habitats typically found where rivers meet the sea. Estuaries harbour unique plant and animal communities because their waters are brackish- a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater.

Schools and K-12 education make a good topic for classroom discussion, research and analysis. Use it to highlight different roles of government, the roles of citizens and leaders, the implications of policies and decisions and connections to local, national and global issues. That's civic literacy!
- Who oversees Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools? The elected Board of Education and the Superintendent, the professional the school board hires to lead the district. Where does CMS get funding? From Mecklenburg County, the State of North Carolina (with the Department of Public Instruction and State Board of Education, who create policies impacting schools in NC), the US Department of Education, and others. The City of Charlotte plays no role in CMS funding or management.
- What are the key differences in how public education is funded and policies are developed in Charlotte, New York City and Washington, DC? Now connect it globally. Do other countries have public education? How is it organized, governed and funded? Are there similarities with US public education and CMS? Differences? Why?
Now, look at how citizens are involved in public education. This is a good opportunity to practice writing and effective communication. Role-play as the head of the school district, a school board member, an elected official of another government in the community, a student, a parent or a teacher.
- How do citizens make their voices heard at CMS? In NYC Schools? In other cities?
- Are there places where students are involved in governance? Parents? Teachers?
- Where do you get news about the school board and school district decisions?
- If you live in Charlotte and talk with the mayor about CMS, what can he do? How is that different in New York City or DC? If you have a issue to discuss, does it matter who you tell it to? Why?
- Playing the different roles listed above, what do you think about the Washington Post piece? Do you agree with the authors? Do you have other ideas? What are they, and how do you make your voice heard?

Many of you may be interested in a career as a web designer, but you may not have any idea where to start. What you study is important because it sets the tone for your future. Being a designer means that you have a good understanding of certain field-specific skills, such as software, principles and standard techniques in the industry. Having excellent visual skills such as layout, typography, color and formatting will give you a big head on the road to become a web designer.
Web designer vs web developer
So, how do you determine if you want to be a designer or developer? First, you must evaluate your skill. What do you like doing more? What kind of things do you see at your first job? The main difference between them is that one push pixels to solve problems, while the other uses code

The Definition of Health
The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete wellbeing that is free of disease or infirmity”. Throughout history, different definitions of health have been used for different purposes. In the United States, the word is commonly used to refer to people in good physical and mental condition. However, the word health can have many different meanings. Here are three popular definitions. Each has its own importance. If you’re not sure which one to use, consider reading these three sources.
Health is the state of complete physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. Achieving this state is a basic human right, but it is not the only defining quality of life. Everyone must work to achieve optimal health, and many individuals find this difficult. In addition, some people can never experience complete health, which makes the concept counterproductive. It ignores the wide determinants of health and promotes an unhealthy, medicalized society.
To define health is essential. The concept of health is very broad. The WHO has set the definition of health in 1948, which included the absence of disease. But the definition of health is not always the same. According to Huber et al., a modern definition of health includes people’s ability to adapt, self-manage, and be resilient. The goal of healthcare is to prevent and alleviate the causes of disease. This is not an easy task, but it is a crucial first step towards making the world a better place.
To achieve health, we must understand that it is a continuum. Having total health is a’state of wellbeing’. No one will have the same level of physical and mental wellbeing throughout their lives, so it is vital to have a holistic view of health. For the sake of peace, the world must be free of diseases, and the entire population must enjoy optimal health. Achieving this state is the responsibility of every individual.
A ‘complete health’ view of health is an unrealistic ideal. Few people will have ‘complete health’ all the time. It is also counterproductive. It fails to account for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses. As a result, it leads to an overmedicalisation of society. The term ‘completely healthy’ is not a valid definition of health in our society. It’s just a phrase to describe our condition in a way that is acceptable to us.
The World Health Organisation defines health as “complete physical, mental, and social well-being” and says that a health system consists of a hospital and group of physicians. In other words, a health system is an organization that is linked to at least one other through common ownership. Joint ownership does not imply that hospitals and physicians are separate entities. A healthcare system is a network of doctors. If the hospital is a part of a health care organization, it’s considered a health system.

Muscles are the connective tissues of the body that provide movement by contracting and relaxing. There are 639 named muscles, which make up approximately 40 percent of a person's weight. Single muscle fibers are bunched together to create a muscle, which is then attached to bones by way of tendons. There are three kinds of muscles: Smooth and cardiac muscles are involuntary and internal, while skeletal muscles are voluntary; many are more easily identified from the body's exterior.
Identifying Skeletal Muscles
Stand in front of a mirror, exposing the skin from your shoulder to your wrist. Observe the bony protuberances, such as your shoulder or elbow, in order to get an idea of where the muscles will be attached.
Gently touch your left shoulder bone with your right hand, moving down the arm toward the inner elbow. Note the fleshy feel of the tissue under the skin that is along the arm.
Repeat Step 2, only this time tense your left arm. Note the contraction of the previously fleshy tissue.
Find the thickest portion of the contracted muscle. It will be midway between the shoulder and inner elbow. This identifies the belly of the muscle.
Gently rub your forefingers up and down the muscle. Try across the muscle. Can you identify the direction of the muscle fibers? One way will feel like plucking a guitar string and the other will feel like following the grain in a piece of wood. Following the grain of the muscle indicates the directionality of the fibers.
Flip to the section in the anatomy reference that describes shoulder and arm anatomy to give a name to the muscle you have found. You have successfully identified and located you biceps brachii.

- Larger muscles, such as the quadriceps, are easily identified when they are contracted. To locate smaller muscles, you may need to first find the bony landmarks that surround the muscle tissue.
- Be careful when locating muscles on yourself or others. The amount of pressure added to the skin may be too much in sensitive areas like the neck.

We’re all familiar with the principle of eating five portions of fruit and veg per day. Here are some tips to help you plan them seamlessly into your daily meals.
Top tips to fit the 5-a-day into your daily diet
- Create a rainbow. A variety of colour not only gives a strong visual impact on your plate, but different coloured fruits and vegetables contain different vitamins and minerals your body needs to maintain good health.
- Have fruit with each meal. A glass of fruit juice with breakfast or the occasional fruit snack in between meals is a great way to ensure you are getting your daily allowance.
- Buy fruits and vegetables in season for the best taste and value for money.
- But also keep the cupboard well stocked. Keeping a supply of frozen, canned, chilled and dried vegetables and fruits at home means you don’t need to worry about running out.
- Add some dried or fresh fruit to your breakfast cereal, or grab a fruit smoothie to snack on.
- Get creative. You can make meals more nutritious by adding vegetables, beans or pulses to casseroles and stews, and fruit to desserts.
Be careful of fruity convenience foods. Fruit and vegetables in convenience foods can count towards your 5 a day but many of these foods may be high in added sugar, salt and fat. Be sure to check the label and eat these foods in moderation.

A tube and coupler scaffold has a platform supported by tubing, and is erected
with coupling devices connecting uprights, braces, bearers, and runners. Due to
their strength, these scaffolds are frequently used where heavy loads need to
be carried, or where multiple platforms must reach several stories high. These
scaffolds can be assembled in multiple directions, making them the preferred
option for work surfaces with irregular dimensions and/or contours.
Two new OSHA fact sheets - "Tube and Coupler Scaffold Planning and Design" and
"Tube and Coupler Scaffold Erection and Use" - were recently published by the
U.S. Department of Labor.
They help employers to protect construction workers using this type of scaffold
on the job. Workers building scaffolds are at risk for serious injury from
falls and tip-overs, being struck by falling tools and other hazards, and
electrocution from energized power lines. Before starting any scaffold project,
employers should conduct a hazard assessment to ensure the safety of workers.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease. While it is curable, it still carries a high risk of heart disease, kidney failure, and coma. The good news is that it can be effectively controlled, managed, and treated. While this condition can be devastating, there are ways to help you minimize its effects. You can start by learning to control your blood sugar. This includes diets, exercise, and stopping smoking.
If you have diabetes, it is important to monitor your feet daily. This way, your doctor can spot any changes early and help you reduce your risk of developing foot problems. Your doctor can prescribe medications or treatments that will reduce your pain. You may also be encouraged to change your lifestyle. For example, if you don’t wear shoes, your doctor might prescribe a pair of sneakers that will prevent your feet from becoming swollen. And if you find any unusual changes, make sure to follow up with your doctor.
Symptoms of diabetes should be monitored by your doctor. You may experience burning, tingling, or irregular heartbeat. A physician can prescribe medicines that can control these symptoms. You should also monitor your blood glucose levels regularly to avoid any complications. The best way to treat diabetic neuropathy is to take medication prescribed by your doctor. It is important to lose weight if you have the condition because it can make your insulin levels rise. A diet rich in fiber and vegetables will help your body function better.
Nerve pain is another common symptom of diabetes. The affected area will have numbness or tingling, and it will be very difficult to walk or stand. Depending on the severity of the condition, you may have to undergo amputation. But, if you are lucky enough to catch it early, the infection is less likely to lead to serious damage. Fortunately, physical therapy can help you avoid further damage to your nerves and prevent amputation.
Diabetic nerve pain can be severe and cause a person to drop objects. The patient may also be unable to sleep. The pain is often very painful in the feet and lower legs. The pain can interfere with walking, standing, and even sleeping. It can also prevent the patient from getting a good night’s sleep. When nerve pain is present, it can be very difficult to get a good night’s sleep. In addition, the damage to the nerves can even cause the patient to feel the bed sheets.
Fortunately, early detection of diabetic nerve pain is very easy. A regular doctor’s visit and a healthy diet can help manage your pain and minimize your risk of complications. Likewise, a regular doctor’s appointment can detect any problems earlier and prevent them from becoming serious. While the above symptoms are a common part of diabetes, they do not always signal a serious problem. When symptoms of nerve pain occur, it is important to consult a doctor.

If you have diabetes, you have probably already heard about the importance of paying attention to your feet. Diabetic foot care is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you should see a doctor regularly for foot care. Here is everything you need to know about foot care for diabetics.
Foot care for diabetics is an everyday activity. Check your feet every day for warning signs of injury or infection. Signs include soreness, redness, bruising, cuts, or blisters. Check all parts of the foot, including between the toes. Use a mirror to help you see if you have trouble bending over to take care of feet.
Washing is another important step in daily foot care for diabetics. Clean your feet in warm water with gentle soap. Anything too harsh could harm your skin and nerves. It is a good idea to check the temperature of the water with your hand or elbow before putting your feet in, as your condition may make it difficult to tell how hot the water is with your feet alone. Dry your feet completely with a towel once you have finished. Wet spots could lead to infection, so be sure to thoroughly dry both feet.
When cutting your toenails, be careful not to trim them too short. It is best to cut your toenails soon after washing your feet so that the nails are softer and easier to trim. If you have vision problems, can’t bend over to trim your toenails, or have especially hard or yellowed nails, leave the nail cutting to a diabetic foot care expert such as your Podiatrist.
Proper footwear is very important when it comes to diabetic foot care. Loose, supportive shoes are best. Never wear shoes that are too tight or are made of a material that does not breathe well, such as plastic. It is especially important that your shoes are loose and boxy in the toe rather than narrow.
Wearing shoes all the time can help care for diabetic feet. Shoes keep your feet protected and safe from injury. If you wear shoes all day, switch them out every five hours or so to relieve pressure on the parts of your feet that the particular pair presses on. Socks can also help protect your feet. Make sure these aren’t too tight. White socks are preferable to other colors, as any drainage from blisters or wounds can be noticed easier on these materials, which will help provide quicker management.
Never use a heating pad, electric blanket, or hot water bottle on your feet. This could easily lead to burns without you realizing it. Protecting your feet from extreme temperatures is vital for foot care for diabetics. Make sure your feet do not get too hot or cold. Wearing shoes all the time can help with this. Walking barefoot can lead to injury. Being barefoot outside, especially on pavement or sand, could lead to burns or infection.
If you notice any warts, corns, or calluses during your regular diabetic foot care routine, do not attempt to remove them yourself, including using over-the-counter wart creams and removers. Leave that to your doctor.
Move your feet around often to keep the blood flowing. Never cross your legs or ankles, and try to not stand still for long periods of time. Report any abnormalities to your Podiatrist in a timely manner.
Diablo Foot and Ankle is your resource for foot care for diabetics. They can help keep you healthy, whether you need a routine checkup or have a concern about the care of diabetic feet. Call them today to schedule an appointment.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP), a zoonotic pathogen causing severe skin infection, has been shown to be combated by peptides with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The phenol-soluble modulin beta (PSMβ) peptides that succeed where conventional drugs fall short are isolated from a unique strain (S. felis C4) found in feline skin.
Antimicrobial Peptides from Feline Skin
Once the PSMβ peptides were identified from the S. felis strain, LifeTein helped the scientists by synthesizing batches of the peptides to be tested against MRSP in mice. Results showed significant reduction in necrotic skin injury from MRSP in mice treated with the S. felis extract. This was due to the antimicrobial peptides inhibiting translation and disrupting bacterial cell membranes, greatly reducing skin colonization of MRSP.
The group believes this study can re-establish the community of microbes on skin that promote health. The results proved effective in vitro and in vivo when combatting MRSP. Overall, the discovery serves to represent a potential bacteriotherapeutic for both human and animal skin diseases like the MRSP colonization and infection.

"It is not about increasing your will power, but increasing your ability"
Lessons with babies and children focus on improving coordination and quality of movement to stimulate and better organize their developing systems.
Taba works with all children. Some of them may be challenged with:
Taba's sessions with children use hands-on guidance as well as sounds, textures, colors and other sensory stimuli to help the child to experience developmental movements. These movements are vital stimuli for the baby to establish her infrastructure and developing nervous system to learn how to connect with their environment. Providing the right support at the right time helps the child discover how she can move more comfortably and effectively. Discovering of the "I CAN" sensation empowers children to explore and interact with her surroundings in a productive way.

It is a known fact that most of the history of Maharashtra has been composed and reconstructed by none other than the Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. And when there is any mention of this warrior king, Rajgad cannot be left behind. This magnificent and spacious fort on a hill in the Sahadri range where Shivaji spent almost 24 years of his life. Until 1672, it was the capital of the Maratha Empire.
At 1,395 meters above sea level, Rajgad fort is located right in the middle of Nira, Velvandi, Gunjavani and Kanad rivers. It is said to be one of the most fortified and almost invincible forts, built after Shivaji first took possession of Torna fort at the young age of 16 where he found gold in a bastion. The entire treasury was spent on the construction of Rajgad fort on the hill which was earlier known as 'Murumbadevacha Dongar'. The structure of the fort consisted of three galleries ('Machi') named Padmavati, Suvela and Sanjeevani and a large fort ('Balekilla') with 'Alu Darwaza' with artistic carved doors.
As Rajgad fort served as Shivaji's capital, there was provision for adequate water supply throughout the year. In fact, two large tanks of potable water are still in use today. The fort is an example of the excellent structure and construction that provided protection to the soldiers and Shivaji as well. The two-tiered ramparts of Sanjeevani Machi are just a miracle. The path is built between two ramparts and you have to go through a small hidden door carved in stone. The ramparts are so strong that they repel the biggest attacks. There is a large hole in a rock at Suvela Machi. This narrow gallery is also secured with curved ramparts, allowing the builder to pay attention to the details that went into it.
There is a temple of Goddess Padmavati and a water tank on Padmavati Machi. Rajgad fort witnessed many adventurous events in Shivaji's life, including the birth of Shivaji's son Rajaram; Shivaji's successful return from Aurangzeb's captivity; Tragic demise of his queen Saibai, etc. He also showed the ideal governance system of the Maratha king.
The fort is very popular among tourists and trekkers because of the amazing view you get from its ramparts. You can see other forts in the Sahyadri range like Torna, Raigad, Purandar, Lingana, Pratapgad, Chandragad, Mangalgad etc. For those who want to stay overnight at the fort, there are options like the premises of Padmavati temple or the big hall built for it. There is enough water and meals can be arranged with prior notice from the locals. The fort is quite accessible and state transport buses run from Swargate bus stand in Pune. Rajgad is well connected by roads and local transport is easily available from Nasrapur, Velha and Bhor.

City Hall station, New York City
Designed as a showpiece for New York’s new subway system, City Hall
station (towards the southern tip of Manhattan) opened in 1904. It’s an
elegant structure in Romanesque revival style with skylights, coloured
glass and brass chandeliers, but because of its tightly curved platform
longer subway carriages were unable to stop there. It was always a quiet
station, and passenger services were discontinued in 1945.

Previous posts have talked about India’s interesting relationship with cryptocurrency. In 2018, India’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), had banned domestic financial institutions from providing banking services to cryptocurrency exchanges in India. In March 2020, the India Supreme Court struck down the RBI ban as unconstitutional. The report last month that the Indian government was weighing a proposal to impose an 18% goods and services tax on Bitcoin transactions was looked on positively by the crypto community because it was seen as an indication that the government was becoming more comfortable with cryptocurrency. Now, the pendulum seems to have swung back in the other direction.
On January 29, 2021, the news broke that India’s Parliament is going to be considering legislation that largely bans the use of private cryptocurrency. In the agenda published on the lower house website, the listing of new legislation includes the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021. The purpose is described as follows:
To create a facilitative framework for creation of the official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India. The Bill also seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses.
If passed, this would obviously have a huge negative impact on the use of cryptocurrency in India.

Today is Mandela Day! Today we honor one of our greatest leaders in history. Today we pause to reflect and pay tribute The Honorable Nelson Mandela. Today would have been Madiba 96th birthday. Today we commit to #TimeToServe.
Google has honored Mr. Mandela with a beautiful interactive Google Doodle.
There are so many I love but today’s Google Doodle is officially my all time favorite. I want to share a few that make for a great learning opportunity with your kids. Because today is such a special day I will share today’s doodle on it’s own. It deserves to be celebrated that way. I’ll follow up with some of my other favorites next week.
Today’s Google Doodle Lesson: Nelson Mandela
I cried when I opened up my browser and saw Madiba’s likeness on a Google Doodle. I cried! And then I noticed an arrow on the side of the doodle so I clicked it. Along with some beautiful drawings of different times in Mr. Mandela’s life, there are a few of his quotes. Here are two from the interactive doodle. Check out the rest on Google today.
This tribute to Nelson Mandela is awesome on it’s own and as a lead for a lesson with your children. Take time today to share this Google Doodle with your kids and:
- Explain who Nelson Mandela was and his importance to our history.
- What Apartheid was?
- How Nelson Mandela survived and became the President of South Africa.
- What #Mandela Day and #TimeToServe means. Check out the Educator kit from MandelaDay.com
Brainstorm things you can do as a family for #MandelaDay. If you don’t have anything already planned here are some quick things you can do:
- Check in on a shut-in neighbor. Elderly, new mom, mom to be, disabled? Doesn’t matter. Stop by or call and offer to help out. Read a book, mow their lawn or pick up a few grocery items for them.
- Make handmade cards with your children. You could make cards with nice pictures and mail them to the local children’s hospital.
- Donate to a charity. The list is endless both here and abroad.
- Volunteer. Call a local organization and sign-up to volunteer. Take the family with you.
- The lesson you taught your child above counts. It will serve as the foundation for future Mandela Day #TimeToServe acts of charity.
How will you honor Nelson Mandela today?

Help Folks Separate Head Lice Facts From Fiction
New guidelines will help dispel myths about treating head lice.
MYTH: Nits indicate an active infestation. Seeing a LIVE LOUSE is the "gold standard" for diagnosing an active infestation. Having just NITS could lead to overtreatment since they may not be viable.
MYTH: Topical insecticides don't work due to resistance. Permethrin 1% (Nix, etc) or pyrethrins (R&C, etc) are still first-line treatments...despite reports of resistant lice.

Macrobenthic invertebrates of a fourth order stream flowing through farmlands in Southern Nigeria were studied. Fifty-five taxa, comprising a total of 9008 individuals were collected. Chironomidae, Naididae and Baetidae were the major components of the benthic community. In spite of the overall faunal similarity, the distribution and abundance of macroinvertebrate taxa were different in the three study biotopes. Similarly, the taxa richness, general diversity and evenness indices calculated for these werea also different. The benthic diversity of the study section is much higher than its downstream sections perturbed by urban activities. It is, however, lower than the expected high diversity of tropical streams and is therefore indicative of a physically controlled ecosystem.

Aster Flower Information
The glory of the fall garden, Aster Flower range in height from six tall to just above the ground. Colors are shades of purple, lavender, pink, red blue, and white. They are hardy, the plants tend to be very vigorous, and some are even invasive. Most garden hybrids are derived from one of two native species.
From Aster novaeangliae (New England aster) come “Harrington’s Pink” pale to medium pink and up to six feet tall, and “Alma Potschke” which is three feet tall and a strong pink. From A. novibelgii (New York Aster) come many varieties including Marie Ballard, light blue, three to four feet, and Crimson Brocade reddish pink three feet approx.
Moreover, Eventide purple three to four feet, dwarf varieties include Snow Flurry which is white, and Audrey which is blue-violet. A. x Frikartii is a very long blooming aster that begins flowering in summer and grows two to three feet tall.
How to Grow Aster?
Well, if you want to grow Aster than asters like moist but well-drained soil and plenty of sun as well. Most of the big clumps are best divided every few years by replanting shoots from the outside of the clumps. Also, the tall varieties must often be staked. But the stems can be pinched early in the season to make the plants more erect as well as more compact and free-flowering.
However, delay in bloom. With some dwarf varieties. You must remove some plants each year to prevent them from taking over. Moreover, mulch varieties that do not winter hardy in your zone with evergreen boughs. Remove self-sown seedlings, for they will not come up the same color. Because of the parent plant if they are hybrids and not original species. So it is really very important for every gardener to know the Aster Flower Information before planting it.

Adjectives - Good, Better and Best
Summary: A brief look at English adjectives whose comparative and superlative forms are irregular.
English has a few adjectives whose comparative and superlative forms are irregular. That is, they don't form the usual patterns for forming comparatives and superlatives (-er, -est; or -ier, iest; or more-, most-).
|little||littler, less||littlest, least|
|far||farther, further||farthest, furthest|
It is fair to say that those adjectives known as "absolute terms" are also irregular adjectives, because they have no comparatives whatsoever. For ESL learners it is important to learn "good, better, best" and "bad, worse, worst" because they are very commonly used. Also, "more, most" and "less, least" are very commonly used.

For those living in the United States, the conditions of American politics will, for obvious reasons, be of some interest. But given the economic, political, and military power of the US it is not surprising to discover that American politics is scrutinized all over the world. When one looks at the International media, it is striking how much attention they pay to American affairs.
Does this mean that American politics has also a particular interest for political philosophy? Well, certainly, as an exemplar of politics for American students of political philosophy. John Rawls’ classic Theory of Justice seems to have largely America in view, despite its aspirations of providing a universal theory.
It is also said that America’s political history provides a blueprint for the natural and perhaps even inevitable political development of other places in the world. In this story, the American republic and American democracy are assumed to be suitable paradigms for political order and practice everywhere else. But is this assumption realistic or will countries like China, for instance, always be following their own trajectory and one that does not necessarily lead to American style democracy? We must not forget that historically different countries have served as political models — ancient democratic Athens, Imperial Rome, and Revolutionary France. The role of America as a model for political development is by no means set in stone.
Another possibility is that because of its wealth and power the US is still serving the role of an avant-garde nation. Whatever happens here politically and economically, will eventually manifest itself in other parts of the world. So, if we find extreme forms of capitalism in the US or a deterioration of democratic life, similar forms of corruption are to be expected elsewhere. One immediate application of this thought is that the rise of Donald Trump signals a process that may extend to the rest of the world and has to be therefore of interest to political philosophy.

To place your order, fill in our brief medical questionnaire.
For additional support and information please review our forum.
How do statins work?
Statins are used to control high cholesterol. Your body needs this fatty substance to function. Every cell in your body uses cholesterol to build the membrane in its outer wall. Cholesterol is made in the liver, but can also be found in some foods. Cholesterol is transported around the body by proteins. When cholesterol and proteins combine, they are known as lipoproteins.

Mini-Midterm, September 30, 2002
Part I: Circle T for true or F for false. For each question that you mark false, give a counterexample. Don=t write anything after a question if you circle T. (10 minutes; 30 points)
T F 1. Every rationally persuasive argument is sound.
False. One might mistakenly believe that it is sufficient for a contract to be binding that the parties be competent and sign voluntarily and on the basis of this false premise (which one believes mistakenly to be true) that surrogate motherhood contracts should be legally binding. Rational persuasion may be mistaken.
T F 2. If an argument is unsound, then its conclusion is false.
False. Example of an unsound argument with a true conclusion: All professors are male. Dan Hausman is a professor. Therefore Dan Hausman is male.
T F 3. If an argument is sound, then it is valid.
True. By definition and argument is sound if and only if it is valid and all its premises are true.
T F 4. If the premises of an argument are false, then the argument is invalid.
False. Example: All women are six foot tall. Dan Hausman is a woman. Therefore Dan Hausman is six foot tall. Valid but both the premises are false. In the example in 2 the argument is valid, and one of its premises is false.
T F 5. If the conclusion of an argument is false, then the argument is unsound.
True. In a sound argument the premises are true and the conclusion follows as a matter of logic from the premises, so the conclusion must be true, too.
Part II (to be written in blue book): 30 minutes (15 minutes each); 70 points (35 points each)
1. Someone might object that I should not have asked you to read the court decisions by Judge Sorkow and by the New Jersey Supreme Court, because those decisions concern legal questions rather than moral questions. Explain this objection and discuss how these court decisions can be relevant to the moral questions with which this course is concerned.
The short answer is that law has been influenced by morality and that in making legal decisions judges are influenced by moral commitments and arguments. For example, the NJ Supreme Court found that surrogate motherhood contracts should not be enforceable because they conflicted with laws against paying for surrender of rearing rights. That doesn't establish that as a matter of morality, surrogate motherhood contracts should not be enforceable, because one cannot take for granted that the law prohibiting paid transfer of rearing rights is defensible. But the opinion does point one toward a possible moral argument relying on the premise that paid surrender of rearing rights should not (as a matter of morality) be permitted.
2. Give an example of a contract that almost everyone would agree should not be legally enforceable, even though it does not call on the parties to do anything that violates any legal or moral rights or duties and even though it is signed voluntarily by competent individuals. What relevance does your example have to the question of whether surrogate motherhood contracts should be legally binding?
The easy answer would be in terms of inalienable rights. You could, for example, give the example of date contracts. The question then is whether enforcing surrogate motherhood contracts violates any inalienable rights. In particular, one is driven to ask whether a woman's parental rights to her newborn are inalienable.

During intimacy, sperm is expelled through the male urethra. The prostate gland and other male reproductive systems send sperm and fluids through it. Semen is often a thick, white liquid. Several factors, however, can affect the colour and consistency of sperm.
Watery sperm can indicate a low sperm count, which could indicate reproductive issues. It’s also possible that discharge of thin, transparent sperm is a transient condition that has no major health risks.
Watery sperm can be caused by a number of factors. The majority of them are curable or avoidable.
1. Low semen count.
Low sperm count is one of the most common reasons of watery sperm. Oligospermia is another name for this condition. A low sperm count indicates that your sperm count is lower than normal. Sperm counts of less than 15 million per millilitre of sperm are deemed abnormal.
2. Frequent discharge.
Watery sperm may be produced as a result of frequent discharge. If you discharge numerous times a day, the quality of your sperm will certainly deteriorate after the first discharge. It may take your body many hours to create a typical, healthy amount of sperm.
3. Zinc deficiency.
A zinc shortage is another probable reason of watery sperm. Men who have adequate zinc levels or who are zinc deficient and take zinc sulphate supplements can better combat the effects of anti-sperm antibodies, according to research. The immune system produces these antibodies when it misidentifies sperm as a foreign substance.
The presence of watery sperm due to a low sperm count does not always necessitate treatment. A low sperm count does not rule out the possibility of conception. It could require several attempts, or you could have a temporary low sperm count due to anything like an infection.
Antibiotic therapy may be used to treat infection. If a hormone imbalance is found to be the reason of your low sperm count, hormone therapies may be recommended. If a varicocele is identified, it may typically be safely treated with surgery.
A change in lifestyle may be able to help you increase your sperm count and enhance the quality of your sperm in some situations. The following are examples of positive changes:
1. Quit smoking cigarettes.
2. Lose weight if you’re overweight.
3. Reduce your alcohol consumption.
4. Exercise regularly.
Your doctor may also recommend that you refrain from having intimate relations for a period of time in order to discharge less regularly. This will allow you to see if the consistency of your sperm changes.
Changes in the consistency of your sperm are often transitory and curable. If low sperm count is the reason of watery sperm and you’re attempting to conceive, there are a variety of therapies available. Consult a fertility specialist to determine your best alternatives.

Are arrays reference?
Longer answer: Like all Java objects, arrays are passed by value … but the value is the reference to the array. So, when you assign something to a cell of the array in the called method, you will be assigning to the same array object that the caller sees. This is NOT pass-by-reference.
Why arrays are reference types?
Array a reference type is that it’s instances are copied by reference. IOW, concentrate on the fact that System. Array is a class. That is what makes it a reference type.
What is a reference array?
Array references can be used anywhere a reference to type Object is called for, and any method of Object can be invoked on an array. … Array objects themselves always contain either an array of primitive types or an array of object references. If you declare an array of objects, you get an array of object references.
Why is an array reference?
Reference to Array in C++ Reference to an array means aliasing an array while retaining its identity. Reference to an array will not be an int* but an int. … But for compiler type of as an array is int and type of b as an array is int which are completely different from each other.
What is array and example?
An array is a data structure that contains a group of elements. … For example, a search engine may use an array to store Web pages found in a search performed by the user. When displaying the results, the program will output one element of the array at a time.
What are different types of arrays?
There are three different kinds of arrays: indexed arrays, multidimensional arrays, and associative arrays.

Acerca de Rome, Italy
Rome is a city and special comune in Italy. Rome is the capital of Italy and of the Lazio region. With 2.9 million residents in 1285km2, it is also the country's largest and most populated comune and fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. The Metropolitan City of Rome has a population of 4.3 million residents. The city is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio, along the shores of Tiber river. Vatican City is an independent country within the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two history spans more than two and a half thousand years. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at only around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. The city's early population originated from a mix of Latins, Etruscans and Sabines. Eventually, the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and is regarded as one of the birthplaces of Western civilization and as the first ever metropolis. It is referred to as "Roma Aeterna" and "Caput Mundi", two central notions in ancient Roman culture.

– Jeff McCutcheon, Extension Educator, Knox County
It is the first of June and grass growth has slowed or stopped. You are grazing through your fields and considering your options. One option to consider is planting summer annuals for grazing in mid to late July.
If there is any land not planted in corn, we could still plant something that could be grazed in 45-60 days. Of course corn is a grass and could be grazed but that is a whole different subject. What options are there?
According to the Ohio Agronomy Guide, we have the options of Sudangrass, Sorghum-Sudangrass and Millet.
Sudangrass is a fine-stemmed, leafy summer annual grass that can grow between three to eight-feet tall. It will regrow after grazing until a killing frost. Sudangrass usually contains lower levels of prussic acid and is usually lower yielding than the other sorghum family grasses. Do not feed to horses.
Sorghum-Sudangrass is a hybrid cross, although there are multiple varieties available. They resemble Sudangrass, but are generally taller, have larger stems and leaves, and are higher yielding. Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrids regrow after each grazing with proper environmental conditions. These can contain prussic acid. Brown mid rib varieties have shown higher animal preference and performance. Do not feed to horses.
Pearl Millet does not produce prussic acid. It tends to have smaller stems and more leaf than the Sorghum grasses. Pearl Millet regrows after each harvest, but not as rapidly as Sudangrass or Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrids. Fertilize all three according to soil test results similar to corn with a target of 100-150 bu. They can be no-tilled or broadcast into a prepared seed bed. Plant each at a rate between 25-30 lbs. to the acre. All of these summer annual grasses can be grazed or even cut for silage. These summer annuals should be grazed after they are 18-inches tall. Grazing earlier has concerns with prussic acid and will weaken the plants. Trampling and wastage will increase when grazing is delayed past the boot stage. Plants reach the grazeable height of 18 to 30 inches about six to eight weeks after planting. Rotational grazing or strip grazing management should be practiced. A high stocking density should be used to graze the grass down in less than 10 days. Clipping leftover stems down to 8 inches will improve forage quality for the next grazing period.
Another summer annual not mentioned in the Agronomy Guide is Teff. Teff is a summer annual grass from Ethiopia. It can grow well in low moisture conditions. It is a fine stem grass that can be grazed in about 50 days and re-grazed about 45 days after the first grazing. Plant it at a rate of 4-5 lbs. to the acre. Use 50 lbs. nitrogen as a starter. Check out the factsheet from Cornell University for more information: http://nmsp.cals.cornell.edu/publications/factsheets/factsheet24.pdf

Review: Fifty Fabulous Fables--
Beginning Readers Theater
Fifty Fabulous Fables--Beginning Readers Theater (©1997) by Suzanne I. Barchers, Ph.D. presents, you guessed it--fifty of Aesop's Fables done Readers Theater style for early readers. What does that mean? That means the author of this wonderful library book has focused on beginner readers by evaluating each script with the Flesch-Kincaid readability scale and then grouped the scripts accordingly into sections. Section one is for students with a first-grade readability level, section two for second-grade readability level, section three for third-grade readability level, and section four for a fourth-grade readability level. Of course, that does not guarantee that students at each level could fluently read every word. It only means the teacher has a clue on how difficult the scripts may be according to a readability scale.
Teacher-friendly for Early Elementary Grades
Even without the readability sections, Dr. Barchers has done a thorough job introducing the basics of Readers Theater and making it easy to use her scripts in a classroom. An experienced educator, administrator, publisher, and affiliate college professor, she knows the value of suggestions for the teacher. Her introduction includes information on preparation, presentation, props, and delivery. And, each script has more specific suggestions (i.e., presentation, props, delivery) to encourage success.
Short, Easy Scripts
All of the scripts in this paperback volume are one or two pages in length. That works well for new readers, but sometimes the stories seem a little dry. Of course, Aesop's Fables are not known for being humorous, only witty. And Dr. Barchers makes sure the moral of the story is clear at the end of every script. The scripts are in a larger print, so copying for educational purposes would be simple. The author also uses numbered lines--as used in some plays--for the teacher/director to easily refer to a particular location. Maybe it's personal preference, but I prefer fewer distractions on a young reader's page. The small pen and ink illustrations or silhouettes are delightful with each easy script.
A Fables Unit
The appendix to Fifty Fabulous Fables--Beginning Readers Theater offers a potpourri of creative ideas for doing a unit study on fables. Starting with a brief history of fables, Dr. Barchers goes on to explain what fables are and offers current titles (e.g., Fables by Lobel). She suggests many activities from art to writing, plus mentions typical theme topics in fables (e.g., flattery, fear, rescue). Finally, she lists references and a bibliography.
Before I would purchase this book I would try to check it out at the library. The scripts are so short it wouldn't take long for enthusiastic readers to finish quickly. Also, since Aesop's Fables are so popular I would consider different versions of the same fable; some scripts are more fun to read and hear than others. This book is perfect for someone in a hurry to have a one or two-page script with a moral at the end. It's also perfect for someone who is insecure about choosing Readers Theater scripts and wants a lot of scripts categorized by the Flesch-Kincaid readability scale. I'll probably just borrow it from the library and continue to write longer scripts sprinkled with humor.

‘Natural Justice’ is originated from the Roman term ‘Jus Naturale’ which means principles of natural law, justice, equity, and good conscience. The use of this legal term “Natural Justice” is very important and frequent in the judicial context. There is an adjective entitled by “natural”, qualifying the noun “justice”, the concept has nothing to do with laws of nature which rather runs counter to it. With the advancement of the civilization our lives started to be dominated more by the rules of various laws, rather than law of nature. Principles of natural justice is an ancient origin and was known to Greek and Romans. Here the principles of natural justice was said to have been adopted by English Jurists to be so fundamental to override all laws. The principles of natural justice were connected with a few ‘accepted rules’ which have been built up and pronounced over a long period of time. The word ‘Natural Justice’ indicates justice according to one’s own conscience. These principles did not derive from any divine power, but are the outcome of the necessity of judicial thinking, as well as the necessity to evolve the norms of fair play. These are some principles in which every disciplinary authority should follow during taking any decision, which may adversely affect the rights of individuals. It is seen that rules of natural justice are not codified anywhere. They are strategic in nature and their aim is to ensure delivery of justice to the parties. According to the rules of natural justice, as recognized by civilized societies, is of supreme importance, when a quasi-judicial body embarks on determining disputes between the parties or any administrative or disciplinary action is in question. The rules of natural justice serve as encompass against any terrible discrimination against rights of individuals.

Everyone has cold hands and feet at times when the weather changes and the thermometer drops. Since the hands and feet are a long distance from the heart, they tend to be more prone to cold sensation. Some individuals have more than just cold hands and feet. They have problems with peripheral blood flow and may have some degree of the condition known as Raynaud’s Disease or Phenomenon.
This fairly common condition happens most often in females. The fingers and toes and sometimes the tips of the nose and outer ear undergo color changes precipitated by cold or at times emotional stresses. The color may vary from pale to cyanosis or “blue” shade to deep redness. It can, in extreme cases, proceed to skin breakdown, ulceration and infection. It is usually seen in the ends of a few or even one digit. There may be swelling, burning or tingling sensation and tends to come and go. It may be so uncomfortable that it affects everyday activities and sleep patterns.
Most of these symptoms are a spasm occurring in the very small vessels of the digits in people who are sensitive to cold, damp weather. This is referred to as the “primary condition.” Sometimes Raynaud’s Phenomenon is in response to a systemic disease or from medications taken (often for hypertension or high blood pressure). This is called a “secondary condition.”
It is important to know into which class your condition falls, and your podiatrist will make this diagnosis. The majority of the simple conditions are treated by proper foot protection and oral medications to help increase the blood flow. Often local injection of anesthetics will also help release the vascular spasm.
The following are important steps to follow in conjunction with treating and preventing this uncomfortable condition of the feet.
1. Keep the feet protected and warm at all times.
2. Avoid nylon hose if possible.
3. Keep the feet dry. Use powders in socks and shoes.
4. Plan ahead if going to a colder climate.
-skiing, Walking, etc
b) Wear insulated or warm leather shoes.
5. Avoid constricting shoes, socks and garters.
6. Never apply high heat directly to the feet, rather warm them slowly with warm water soaks, dry well, and then warm socks and shoes.
7. Never use tobacco in any form.
8. Report promptly to your podiatrist any unusual changes in your foot condition.

This activity was used in an Algebra 2 class. It was used at the beginning of the linear functions unit after students learned about slope. Students worked in small groups to determine the steepness of the given segments. The activity was designed with questions that were scaffolded in order to help students dig deeper into their mathematical reasoning. The lesson was also used as a way to get students familiar with showing their “evidence” and supporting their “evidence” with important math ideas, i.e. “warrants”

A template of the talk frame was used to plan a lesson for algebra students learning about linear equations. The teacher recorded what he anticipated how students would reword the question in the Think section, what ideas they would contribute in the Talk Ideas section, and both their realization that the problem has multiple solutions and the valid mathematical ideas in the We Understand section. The mathematics focused on modeling with linear equations, creating linear equations from a word problem, and the break-even point. Specifically, students are given the fixed price and price per night of two dog kennels and must determine when the two will be equal.

Algebra students are asked to construct multiple equations given rates and flat fees. Students must interpret the problem in order to identify parts of an equation. The task is scaffolded by presenting multiple scenarios separately then combining equations using subtraction. Students must critique student work of combining equations using subtraction by using knowledge of combining like terms and the distributive property. A graphic organizer is provided for students to create an argument using a claim.

Oka Castle has an extensive history. Sited on a mountaintop, it was originally built in 1185, for Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
Shiga Sadatomo took control in 1332 and made many repairs and improvements. The castle was ruled by Shiga's descendants until 1586.
At that point, it was taken over by Nakagawa Hideshige (in 1594) and more improvements were made, including an expansion. A main keep was added along with a palace. The Sankai turret (三階櫓), the castle's de facto Tenshu, collapsed in an earthquake, in 1769. Many of the buildings were destroyed by fire, in 1771, which had originated in the castle town. The Nakagawa ruled the castle until the Meiji Restoration.

Spectral Computation of Incompressible Fluid Flow
Evolution of the vorticity up to the point indicated in the previous graph. Initially two crossed vortex tubes are perfectly perpendicular, and as the flow evolves, they wrap around each other. The colors represent different orientations of the vorticity vector. The second view is isometric. The computation was done in Hypatia with 64 nodes with a discretization of 1024x1024x1024 points.
In contrast, the two-dimensional flow does not exhibit vorticity amplification.
Below we show snapshots of other 2D flows.

Stands for the "Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers" (pronounced "eye-triple-ee"). It's a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing electronic technology. They set standards for electronic equipment in the form of IEEE #'s. For example, the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards specify standards for Ethernet and wireless devices (such as range, frequency, stuff like that).
Did you hear about the new IEEE standard?/ You mean the IEEE 802.12? We now finally have a standard for wireless devices and services.

While there are no calculations that Microsoft Excel can do that are impossible for humans to perform, more often than not, spreadsheets can do the job faster and with greater accuracy. Sum of squares calculations are often performed on sets of numbers to solve mathematical or statistical problems. The calculation involves computing the square of each number in a set, then adding up all the squares. Excel provides the function SUMSQ, which can perform sum of squares calculations quickly on large and small data sets.
Launch Excel. Load the worksheet containing the numbers on which you want to perform the sum of squares calculation.
Click inside an empty cell where you want the results of the sum of squares calculation to appear.
Click the "Insert" tab in the ribbon. Click the "Function" icon. Click the drop-down list labeled "Pick a category," then select the "Math & Trig" option.
Scroll down the list and select the "SUMSQ" function. Click the "OK" button.
Select the list of numbers you want to use, then press the "Enter" key.
- You don't have to use numbers already in the worksheet to perform sum of squares calculations. Instead, you can enter the formula manually in any empty cell and insert each number, separated by a comma, into the function's parentheses. For instance, the formula "=SUMSQ(12,55,66,123,67,89)" yields 35064 as the sum of squares.
- The SUMSQ function only works with contiguous, adjacent groups of numbers within your worksheet. You can perform calculations on worksheet rows, columns and blocks. If you need to address noncontiguous blocks of data, type in your formula manually. For instance, the formula "SUMSQ(A1:A2, D1:D4, A7)" calculates the sum of squares for adjacent and non-adjacent values.

Health supplements are part of a balanced diet. Guide to keep usual shape advancement, expansion and functions and standard repair off health. A nutritional is often a mineral water soluble organic molecule an organism needs in little sums due to its suitable metabolic process. All vitamins must be resulting from meals as some are thought to be important while others are found in additional vitamin supplements maybe in somemany fruits and herbal products, and greens. Just a couple vitamin products like B elaborate supplements might be consumed in the human body with the foods that are absorbed. Other vitamin products, for example the body fat dissolvable supplements like vitamins A,D and E, and K, are only able to be consumed by against the meals that were absorbed.
Vitamins are divided into two groups: those that are unwanted fat dissolvable and people who are water dissoluble. Water-dissoluble nutritional supplements are more easily assimilated compared to weight dissolvable vitamins and minerals. Body fat soluble vitamins and nutrients should be made for the body yet not when taken in unwanted. This is the water soluble minerals and vitamins that happen to be the simplest way to find the sought after number of vitamins and nutrients for the day-to-day wants.
Some natural vitamins, such as vitamin-a,D and E, and K, are weight dissolvable. These supplements are required to assist the body to process fat and amino acids. The liver provides vit a on the sunrays when confronted with sun light. Other plant life consist of vit a.
There are several instructional classes of vitamins which includescarotenoids and flavonoids, neo-carotenoids, lycopene, polyphenols and proanthocyanidins tannic acid solution, critical oily vitamins, stomach acids and antimicrobial chemicals. Fat deposits-soluble minerals and vitamins include things like Vitamin A, D and E and K2. The water dissolvable vitamins and minerals are also labeled depending on how they are soaked up and utilized with the human body. You will discover nutritional vitamins in the form of dietary supplements that are considered by mouth. These are split up into synthetic nutritional vitamins and those that originated from healthy meal solutions much like the milk products thistle. All-natural food items options have the vitamins and minerals in their most pure kind.
We obtain vitamin supplements in the meals we consume and from particular medications that are prescribed by doctors. Some food items give more vitamins and minerals than the others. Body fat-disolveable vitamin supplements are digested quicker in comparison to the mineral water-dissolvable vitamins and minerals.
Health supplements are categorized using the form of pieces they include. The explanation is often depending on the approach to alteration that was employed. Commonly, the nutritional supplements are classified as practices: neo-citrus (acidity) natural vitamins, alkaline-chemical p vitamins, chemical p-alkaline vitamin supplements, micronutrients, and minuscule-vitamins. One particular micronutrients is the B-supplements. Vitamin B12, Folate, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin D, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium and Sodium and Zinc couple of examples of alkaline-plaque created by sugar vitamins.
Nutritional vitamins are important to our health and wellness. We can easily experience many conditions when we avoid getting an adequate amount of these nutritional requirements in our eating habits. It is crucial for many people you can eat balanced and healthy diet comprising food items loaded with nutritional supplements. We have to also take minerals and vitamins in supplement form to make certain we receive the many essential goodness we’d like.
Most fruits and veggies, besides ascorbic acid, incorporate many vitamins and minerals. You may carry vitamin supplements in health supplement kind if you cannot take in many of these natural ingredients. You ought to ask your doctor about taking a multi-vitamin that contains vitamins A, C, and Elizabeth in addition to a weight dissoluble detox busting which can help lessen blood sugar levels, if you think maybe there’s a chance you’re anemic because you have low blood sugar levels. Remember that must be easier to please take a vitamin and mineral or spring in nutritional supplement type than to not take any natural vitamins by any means.

- Egg Carton
- Grass Seed
- Potting Soil
Create your very own, indoor friendly, caterpillar with just a few simple household objects. Begin by mixing 3/4 cup of potting soil and 2 tablespoons of grass seed in a bowl. Add water to moisten the mixture, and then set it aside. Once this is done, cut away a three-cup section of an egg carton, and then trim the section along the longer edges so that your grassapillar will look the same from both sides.
With a permanent marker, draw a face on one end. Gently spoon the seed mixture into the cups and wait. Set your creation on a dish in a brightly lit spot and keep the soil moist. The grass should sprout in about a week.

How many countries make up the United Kingdom?
And the answer: four.
The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
More than tea-drinkers, metric-users and drivers of the left side of the road, a colorful milieu of diverse life comprises the face of the United Kingdom. As a major player on the world stage, most are familiar with the UK, but here are a couple fun facts you may not know about the Land of the Rose:
- In London alone, there are an estimated 8 million citizens who communicate via different languages. In fact, around 300 languages are estimated to be spoken in London every day!
- The mysterious monument of Stonehenge is claimed to be one of the oldest monuments in the world. Scientists believe it was built around 3,000 BCE.
- A town in Wales has the longest name of any city in the world. Ready for it? Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-gogerychwyrndrobwlllllandysiliogogogoch can be visited year-round (we won't be offended if you want to Google this one to make sure we're not fibbing).
5. All horses in the UK must possess a passport. (No, not fibbing this time either.)
6. French was the official language in the UK – from 1066 to 1362. That's almost 300 years!
7. Golf was invented in Scotland in 1457. However, it was banned by King James II for a period in time, as he believed it interfered with the army's training! A number of other sports, such as soccer (football), cricket and rugby were also created in the UK.

When the sampling rate becomes exactly equal to 2fm samples per second, then it is called Nyquist rate. Nyquist rate is also called the minimum sampling rate. It is given by,
Similarly, maximum sampling interval is called Nyquist interval. It is given by,
When the continuous-time band-limited signal is sampled at Nyquist rate (fs = 2fm), the sampled-spectrum G(ω) contains non-overlapping G(ω) repeating periodically.
But the successive cycles of G(ω) touch each other as shown in fig.1. Therefore, the original spectrum X(ω) can be recovered from the sampled spectrum by using a low pass filter (LPF) with a cut-off frequency ωm.

Willpower helps to deter procrastination. In fact, if you maintain it, willpower will keep you from procrastinating, forever. It is very interesting how the two terms work, and how they work together.
Willpower, simply stated, is the desire to do something. Willpower is felt when you want to start a task. When you want to act, willpower is what is fueling your desire. It is easy to complete a project when you have the willpower to do it. However, in order to finish a task, you must maintain your willpower throughout the entire process. That is because acting on something is near impossible if you don't want to.
Furthermore, sustained willpower can prevent procrastination from happening at all. Procrastination is when you delay an action for some reason. You may even come up with several justifications as to why you need to delay the project, and then you may confirm that you will do it later. Sometimes, something else takes precedence at the moment. Regardless, the action is postponed because it is not favorable.
You can probably think of many reasons why you cannot do something that you don't like to do. Oftentimes, the task is delayed longer than ideal. This is simply from not having the willpower to do it because you postponed the task, and in doing so, you also postponed the drive to do it.
However, keeping willpower up will combat procrastination. But, how do you maintain a steady flow of willpower all the time? The answer is, not to lose sight of the prize. By focusing on your destination, and not spending much time thinking about how far you've come, you will always have the will to accomplish more. Do not stop short of your goals to congratulate yourself, because your willpower will interpret this brief rest as completion. When that happens, it does not desire to accomplish any more. Willpower must be fed continuously, or else is dies out.
Therefore, in order to maintain willpower, it is best to have a goal to focus on at all times. You may even want to have goals planned out in advance, for when you complete previous goals. Simple goals, like getting the dishes done every day, will maintain the flow of will. Sound tiring? It really isn't, because if you think about it, most people usually accomplish something every day, and if you have the will to do it, it makes it easier.
If you always have willpower, by focusing on your goals, there will be no opportunities for procrastination. To accomplish your goals, it is therefore best to not look back, but to keep moving forward.

Sometimes it’s the most unlikely organisms that can reveal the effects of climate change on our natural environment. Over the summer, Tyler hosted a duo of researchers in our woodland who were looking for just such an organism, in this case, a microscopic one.
Dr. Douda Bensasson, using her husband Casey as an assistant, was looking for a specific strain of wild yeast that grows in our woodlands. Wild yeasts can be found all around us on branches, berries, barks, and cones, and some strains are used in baking, beer-brewing, and winemaking. Dr. Bensasson is an Assistant Professor of Plant Biology at the University of Georgia in the Institute of Bioinformatics. She and her associates are working under a National Science Foundation grant, studying the relatively simple genome of wild yeast to develop methods that can be applied to more complicated organisms. In her work, she uses a combined evolutionary and bioinformatics approach that integrates field and laboratory work with data crunching on a computer. Ultimately this research hopes to demonstrate methods to predict how yeast biodiversity could be affected by climate change, and apply that understanding to the broader range of life.
The fieldwork is happening in multiple locations, so Tyler is just one stop. Much of the fieldwork is done by graduate students, but Dr. Bensasson feels the need to understand each step of the process herself to better help her students.
After carefully recording the temperature and humidity at the sample site, she takes bark scrapings from the north side of multiple trees. The samples are then stored in marked vials for laboratory analysis of natural adaptations in the DNA.
Interestingly, Tyler was chosen as a sample site based on previous research by local University of Pennsylvania biologist, Dr. Paul Sniegowski. Dr. Sniegowski’s seminal work on wild yeasts rekindled interest in wild yeast research, and his fieldwork was done right here at Tyler Arboretum in 1999. Dr. Besasson is building on an aspect of his research by comparing her newer yeast samples to his earlier samples and looking at genetic changes that have evolved in the yeast population over time. We may not see results from this fascinating study until 2023, but we are excited to learn what yeast can tell us about Climate Change that may change our environment in visible, and invisible, ways.

10 Howling Good Facts About Beagles
These lovable hounds are happy, playful companions. Find out more about why they make perfect pets.
1. Their origins are mysterious.
The beagle is such an old breed that its ancestors hunted rabbits with the Ancient Romans. Unfortunately, origins are hard to trace when they stretch that far back. No one is really sure when or where the breed first emerged.
2. You’ll hear a lot from them.
We may not know the origin of the beagle, but we do know where the name comes from. Most likely, it comes from the French word begueule, which means “open throat.” The name is pretty accurate: Beagles have impressive vocal cords that are much fuller and louder than other dogs.
3. They have different barks for different occasions.
Beagles are so talented at vocalizing, they do so in three different ways. There’s the standard bark for everyday things like the doorbell or getting a new treat. Then there’s baying, which sounds a lot like doggy yodeling. This throaty yowl is used on the hunt to alert fellow dogs that they've picked up an interesting scent. Finally, there's the forlorn howl. Beagles will howl if they are sad, bored—or if others are howling first.
4. Foxes need to steer clear.
Beagles were bred to be the ultimate fox-catching hounds. Their short legs keep them low to the ground, which means they can take in scents without having to stop. Big, floppy ears also help them notice smells, by wafting them towards the dog's nose. And their white tipped tails help hunters keep track of the dogs as they run through brush and shrubbery.
5. Their noses are powerful.
The little hounds have some of the best noses in the dog world. With more than 220 million scent receptors, beagles can pick up more than 50 distinct odors. A wet nose helps attract and hold scent molecules for better evaluation. Even more impressive: they can differentiate smells and remember them in the future.
5. That sense of smell can land them a job.
With their powerful noses and portable size, beagles are great working dogs. A common form of employment for beagles is sniffing out bedbugs (the only silver lining of contracting these pests is getting a visit from a pup). Apparently the parasites give off a “sweet yet musty scent” that only dog noses can pick up on. Another (slightly) more glamorous job is sniffing polar bear poop: Beagles can smell the droppings of female bears and determine if they are pregnant.
6. There’s even a Beagle Brigade.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture decided that beagles are the most effective (and adorable) way to prevent the spread of insects and disease. The Beagle Brigade is a trained task force of dogs that patrols airports all over the country. Using their powerful sniffers, the dogs can find meat and produce that might be carrying foreign bugs or diseases. To become one of these investigative pooches, beagles must undergo 12 weeks of training.
7. An electric fence might be your best bet.
Beagles are prone to wanderlust: If they catch a good smell, they’re going to follow it. As a result, you’re going to want to keep your pup on a tight leash. Fenced-in areas might work for some dogs, but many beagles are skilled diggers and climbers. The little escape artists are known for scaling fences, or burrowing underneath. Some are even capable of climbing trees.
8. A number of beagles have made it into the cartoon world.
Sure, most people know that Snoopy, Charlie Brown's companion, is a beagle. But he’s not the only one. Odie from Garfield, Gromit from Wallace and Gromit, Poochie from The Simpsons, and Mr. Peabody from Rocky and Bullwinkle are all beagles as well.
9. Pocket beagles predated the ones we know today.
Hunters in the 13th century employed pocket beagles, which are exactly as tiny and adorable as they sound. These miniature pups were only about eight to nine inches tall. Today, beagles are about 13 to 15 inches tall.

Greek chemaino — susceptible to cold.
Perennial herbs. Stems with few if any branches, root a fleshy cylindrical, scaly rhizome. Leaves opposite, sometimes strongly unequal, toothed and generally succulent. Flowers axillary, solitary, paired or in clusters, regular to slightly 2-lipped, funnel-shaped or flat-topped, sometimes spurred, lower lobe generally the largest. Sepals narrow, deeply cut. Stamens 4 within the flower, anthers united at the tip. Fruit a 2-valved capsule.
Grown mostly indoors as a range of hybrid cultivars of uncertain origin. Those listed include A. 'Palette' and A. 'Royal Purple'. It is incorrectly assumed that these plants can only be grown by treating regularly with hot water, hence the common name.
Generally by division but rhizome and leaf scales are also satisfactory, as are stem cuttings. Seed occasionally used.
About 25 species from W Indies and Mexico to C America.

The history of nursing in America has led us to the modern day, where many people consider nurses to be as valuable in their healthcare as doctors. The power and responsibilities of nurses range widely from their emergency care positions in hospitals to their personal care initiatives, even in the private sector. Some registered nurses offer private services, such as at-home care to patients who need it.
Nurses have become invaluable soldiers on the frontlines of American healthcare. Their history involves a long line of caring people that have paved the way for the over 3 million nurses working in this country today. From school nurses to nurse midwives, professional nurses help us stay healthy from the moment we’re born. Read on to learn more about how nurses entered the modern era.
The First Professional Nurses
The idea of nurses in the abstract dates back to 300 AD. The Roman Empire employed a form of the modern nurse in their hospitals. Under Charlemagne, this practice became common in Spain later that millennium.
For many hundreds of years, only the Catholic Church continued to employ nurses. Nursing as the profession that we know today really begins with Florence Nightingale.
Nightingale was a British woman who professionalized a group of nurses in 1854 to aid British soldiers wounded in Crimea. When she got back to England, she came up with a nursing education initiative that would train other women to do the same.
Her ideas (the “Nightingale Principles”) suggested that women who learned about health on a higher level could lead professional careers in healthcare. Thus, her program represents the birth of modern nursing.
History of Nursing in the United States
Nursing didn’t become common healthcare practice until healthcare moved out of the home. Until the 1800s, doctors visited homes while hospitals were only used for infectious diseases, fatal injuries, and other special cases.
Around the 1800s, however, hospitals began offering more comprehensive care. The difference in quality between institutions was huge, depending on what was available for a patient’s situation. However, nursing quickly became a necessity in the new system.
Dr. Joseph Warrington wrote a book in 1839 called The Nurses Guide, which was distributed to a Nurse Society and used to educate around 50 nurses on standards of healthcare. When the Civil War struck several decades later, these nurses became instrumental to the frontlines of care for soldiers in the North and South.
After that, nurse training courses formed in hospitals around the country. Professional nursing had begun.
Modern Nursing History
From the Civil War on, training for nurses (male and female) became more commonplace. Organizations formed to train and license them, such as the National League of Nursing Education. Their fields of care diversified when people needed them to.
The world wars and other events continued to reaffirm the need for nurses, leading to improved education courses and more widespread applications for the field.
Today, nurses are commonplace in hospitals, though occasional shortages can still happen. In a high-birth year, the number of trained nurses may become strained. If the history of nursing has taught us anything, it’s that the essential services they offer in times of need are just as important in peace. In either case, their sacrifice is a blessing to all who receive it.

Actor training incorporating digital technologies acts as a portal for actors to go beyond the physical world. Imagination for the contemporary actor is more important now than ever and virtual studios and motion capture systems are the perfect arenas to exercise actors’ imagination and allow them to play in a limitless world. Actors have come full circle: imagination (without digital technology) pragmatism (with limited technology), back to limitless possibilities. This paper discussed how Motion Capture (MoCap) assists the actor in creating a 360-degree awareness of their kinesphere through various techniques. The implementation of Laban's Shape Qualities and Space (kinesphere, spatial intention and geometric observations) allows the actor to have a full awareness of time, place and space. Consequently, Lecoq training exercises actor’s imaginations. The MoCap system defines a Volume, giving actors a set boundary to work with. This training challenges the actor/audience relationships of traditional static camera/stage perspectives. In MoCap, the actor is not working with a 4th wall, an audience, or one single camera. In fact, it is ‘zero wall’ (no wall) actor training. This increases the awareness of the actor. The rendered avatar is an obvious dimension that provides a portal. The relationship of movement to the base object structure actually transforms as a result of certain movement training techniques. In the framework of the virtual performance space with various physical attitudes, could the base object transform into other possible object structures? Could an actor through the particular adoption of attitudes and specific movements become living or inanimate objects if they adopted the appropriate attitude and physicalised with that attitude? The power of acting is in the ability to transform to other people, beings and objects. MoCap can make this happen and training for this medium is just as important as conventional stage and screen actor training.

How Heat resistant fabric prevents heat damage?
What is Heat resistant fabric?
Workplace protective gear is always the greatest protection for employees in potentially harmful circumstances. A chemical that is resistant to fire is referred to as “fireproof.” This is almost always a fallacious argument. Nothing will burn readily if the tissue is fire-resistant. This is false since the bulk of the components are organic and burn slowly, but ultimately. Unless heat resistant cloth is taken into account, this is totally correct and extremely true. Employers and managers must guarantee that workers are informed on how to handle potentially harmful circumstances and what measures to take.
Last year, about 50,000 employees in the United States were injured or killed as a consequence of workplace injuries. Because of the high accident and mortality rates in these firms and industries, safety is important. These heat proof fabrics ensure that the dangers are appropriately protected. These textiles are also exceptionally long-lasting, withstanding numerous launderings while staying flame-resistant. They are not only long-lasting but also beneficial and vital for keeping their work attire comfortable and practical.
What are these textiles’ sole functions?
These clothing are used in industries where the fire is a common source of heat for example gas and oil industry. Heat proof fabric includes fire-retardant fabrics and clothing for employees working in plants with a high risk of fire. These materials are designed to guard against a variety of risks, including electrical arcs, fires, packs, and cuts, among others.
These workplace clothes are other names for working manufacturers. Its goal is to keep personnel safe from all types of thermal and fire threats. These materials are self-extinguishing and fire-resistant. These walls can protect the user from electrical risks including smoke, soldering, explosions, and power outages, among other things. Heat resistant fabrics are designed to shield the wearer’s body from potentially fatal flames.
These heat resistant clothes are designed to protect individuals who labor hard. In non-flammable fabric and furnishing textiles, synthetic fibers such as aramid and polyester are used. Flexible, lightweight, transparent, absorbent, and compact flame retardants are extremely abrasion-resistant, optical fiber, solid finish, fast color, and non-combustible. High-end flame retardants and decorative textiles require exceptional characteristics, such as fusion drops.
Heat resistant cloth variety
Depending on the heat-proof fabric, they may be untreated or have a treatment. They can perform a number of tasks to protect a person in a harmful situation since they are extremely comfortable and breathable.
Cotton is readily available and cultivated, and the fabric is entirely natural. It’s also a very soft fabric that, when properly manufactured, may look really stylish.
Polyamide heat proof fabric
This fabric is also known as nylon. This fabric is also a man and a highly long-lasting thermoplastic flame-resistant cloth. It’s also heat and sequence resistant. It is extremely breathable and cool due to its lightweight.
For years, people have relied on these soft, distinct Heat resistant fabric. These fabrics come in a variety of colors and thicknesses, each with its own distinct appearance. Internal polyester films are near to each other in the two layers above the insulation.
Leather is a heat-resistant natural fabric derived from the skin of an animal and used as a protective material. Fabrics that are naturally fireproof, such as leather, are an example. Leather was used as a heat resistant cloth since swords and shields were the main fighting weapons of the period. Their leather shoes are popular because of their durability and aesthetic appeal.
Why should you use these textiles?
Working in front of a furnace is a regular event for individuals in the blacksmithing or glassworking professions, and avoiding a burn at work is tough. The ingredients in the heat resistant cloth they wear prevent heat from the fire’s flames from being transferred to their bodies. The fact that most materials don’t react well with heat is what makes fire-resistant textiles so tough. Unlike ordinary textiles, these materials will impede the spread of fire.
These fabrics can resist direct flames for a considerably longer period of time than regular cloth. A self-extinguishing characteristic in heat proof fabric can be used to keep a fire from spreading. This phenomenon happens when tissue conducts a chemical reaction as it continues to burn. The burning impact is reduced by this chemical reaction, allowing the user ample time to react and extinguish the flame. Until the tissue burns away, the fire will continue to spread. Heat resistant fabric can be the difference between life and death. Save lives by wearing these fabrics and not using these fabrics can result in a lot of injuries and deaths within the industry and factory.

A sensational claim has been made that an alien spacecraft has been
found in a crater that was created at the time of the Tunguska Event in
The narrator in the video below describes the incredible discovery in
Russia. At a depth of 100 meters in the Patomskiy crater is a huge
cylindrical object with an ellipse shape. Object sizes are enormous -600
meters. The object struck the limestone rocks compressing more than a
million tons of stones – and lies at a depth of 100 meters from the
Alleged space craft in Patomskiy crater
The narrator also says that around the crater showed signs of
radiation. The crashed ship happened a hundred years ago (1908) at the
time of the Tunguska Event according to the claims.

City of Buffalo Property Tax
MetadataShow full item record
The property tax is essentially a tax placed on property owners by the municipality. Cities outside of New York City may use only revenue sources authorized by New York State, and the property tax is one of those few sources. The property tax is based on the value of the property. The tax is calculated by multiplying a property’s taxable assessment by the tax rate that applies to the tax jurisdiction where the property is located.
