In the presidential election of 1840, the Whigs essentially had very little in the way of beliefs. As one book (America: A Narrative History, by Tindall and Shi, 5th Ed. p. 480) says, "The Whigs had no platform."
The reason for this is that the Whig Party was a party made up of a coalition of people whose main commonality was that they hated Andrew Jackson and the Democrats. The Whigs drew support from many different segments of the population. They had anti-Masonic elements. They had anti-slavery Democrats. They had former Democrats who supported the Bank of the United States.
Because of this diversity, they did not try to run on a platform but ran, instead, on the claim that their candidates for president were regular people from humble backgrounds.

E. Cobham Brewer 18101897. Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. 1898.
This word occurs eighteen times in the New Testament. In nine instances the Greek word is Hads; in eight instances it is Gehenna; and in one it is Tartarus.
Hades: Matt. xi. 23, xvi. 18; Luke xvi. 23; Acts ii. 31; 1 Cor. xv. 55; Rev. i. 18, vi. 8, xx. 13, 14. (See HADES.)
Gehenna: Matt. v. 22, 29, x. 28, xiii. 15, xviii. 9, xxiii. 15, 33; James iii. 6. (See GEHENNA.)
Tartarus: 2 Peter ii. 4. (See TARTAROS.)
Descended into hell (Creed) means the place of the dead. (Anglo-Saxon, helan, to cover or conceal, like the Greek Had, the abode of the dead, from the verb a-eido, not to see. In both cases it means the unseen world or the world concealed from sight. The god of this nether world was called Hadës by the Greeks, and Hel or Hela by the Scandinavians. In some counties of England to cover in with a roof is to hell the building, and thatchers or tilers are termed helliers.

It is harder to identify Poison Oak in the winter, when it loses
its leaves and looks like erect bare sticks coming from the ground.
Poison Oak is highly variable. It varies from shrub to vine. The
leaves vary from red to green. It has erect stems, leaves in threes, small greenish
flowers, and smooth seeds that are about 1/4 inch across. It is often lush in coastal
canyons, but sparse in the mountain woodland. It is deciduous, and often looses its leaves
in late summer, leaving it hard to recognize. The erect branches give a clue.

Introducing Analysis Services Scripting Language
Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services client applications, including SQL Server Management Studio and Business Intelligence Development Studio, communicate with Analysis Services by using SOAP messages. Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL), which is the XML dialect used for these messages, is made up of two parts:
A Data Definition Language (DDL), or object definition language, which defines and describes an instance of Analysis Services, as well as the databases and database objects that the instance contains. This object definition language is the subject of this reference section.
A command language that sends action commands, such as Create, Alter, or Process, to an instance of Analysis Services. This command language is discussed in the XML for Analysis Reference (XMLA).
Describes the role of ASSL.
Explains major and minor objects, inheritance, naming, and other ASSL object characteristics.
Identifies XML conventions used in the ASSL object model.
Introduces the bindings that serve as data sources for ASSL objects.

Law is not just for lawyers
Law is relevant to everyone, not just those who work within the legal profession. Law provides the framework of rules for society, affecting almost all aspects of our lives, so it's of direct interest to all of us.
As a Law graduate, your choice of career might be greater than you think. The skills you develop during your studies not only give you access to the legal professions themselves, but also other careers that link to law, such as the police or prison service. You’ll find that legal skills are in demand in local government, politics, the civil service, business, management and administration, to name just a few.
Is law for you?
Are you curious about the rules by which society is organised and how they can be changed? Studying law often suits people who are interested in current affairs, as much of the news is about making or breaking laws.
Do you enjoy working with words? Much of a law student's time is spent reading legal materials and using the information found to communicate a clear analysis and application of the law
Do you think logically, enjoy solving problems and have a good eye for detail? These are just some of the skills that will help you succeed in a law degree.
What skills will you develop?
A law course will help you develop many skills that employers value greatly. You will:

Description The song "Ring-around-a-Rosy" is still popular today, often danced in a circle just as we see the monkeys doing here. Yet this seemingly lighthearted song has a dark past. The plague swept Europe during the 14th century, and the song's words actually refer to its terrible symptoms: a circular rose-colored rash, sneezing or coughing, and finally, death. Flower petals were worn in a pouch around the neck to keep the smell of death away. The song, then, seems very different in this context. Ring-a ring-o-rosies A pocket full of posies Achoo, Achoo, We all fall down.

Two scientists, Gerald Cleaver and Richard Obousy, may have designed a way to create an engine that could travel at speeds faster than light, also called a warp engine. According to Discovery News, this concept that the co-authors built on was first developed in 1994 by Michael Alcubierre and is in accordance with Einstein’s theory on relativity. The warp drive would be created based on the two theories of general relativity and string theory which would bend but not break the laws of physics. As Cleaver says
"We're recreating the inflationary period of the universe behind the ship."
As the article further explains
“the ship wouldn't actually move; space itself would move underneath the stationary spacecraft. A beam of light next to the ship would still zoom away, same as it always does, but a beam of light far from the ship would be left behind.”
The estimated amount of energy required is 10^45 joules. Which as Cleaver made note, that’s the same amount of energy that would be produced if the entirety of Jupiter was changed into pure energy using E=MC2. With respect to the actual construction, Cleaver also released a statement saying that:
"Warp drive isn't doable now, and probably won't be for the next several millennia."

Most observers believe that gospel music has been sung in African American churches since their organization in the late 1800s. Yet nothing could be further from the truth, as Michael W. Harris's history reveals. Working through the blues and gospel movement. Harris reconstructs the rise of gospel blues within the context of early twentieth century African American cultural history.
After a nervous breakdown and a subsequent religious conversion in 1928. Dorsey began to write gospel songs with blues accompaniments. His introduction of these "goals" into Chicago's Afro-Baptist churches during the 1930s stirred clashes between recently arrived southern migrants who felt comforted by the new spirituals and old-line members who dismissed the songs as sacrilegious echoes of the slave past. After years of writing and publishing hudnreds of "songs with a message"-- such as "Take My Hand," "Precious Lord," and "There Will Be Peace in the Valley"-- and training gospel singers such as Mahalia Jackson, Dorsey had earned the title of "father" of gospel blues by the early 1940s. Delving into the life of the most prominent person in the advent of the gospel song movement. Harris illuminates not only the evolution of this popular musical form, but also the thought and social forces that forged the culture in which this music was shaped.

Meeting Huck on the road, Tom already knows that Jim has been set free in Miss Watson's will. However, there is no way that Huck could know that, so in Huck's mind, Jim is still a slave and still subject to punishment by society if Huck steals him from slavery. Tom, seeing the opportunity for an "adventure," decides to help in the theft:
"What! Why, Jim is--"
He stopped and went to studying. I says:
"I know what you'll say. You'll say it's dirty, low-down business; but what if it is? I'm low down; and I'm a-going to steal him, and I want you keep mum and not let on. Will you?"
His eye lit up, and he says:
"I'll HELP you steal him!"
(Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, gutenberg.org)
Tom knows that there won't be any real consequences for stealing Jim because Jim is no longer subject to slavery laws. Because of this, Tom has the perfect chance to have a fancy, over-planned adventure of stealing a slave, complete with tunnels, rats, a prison-journal, and mysterious notes with skulls. Tom has no great friendship with Jim, nor does he care about Huck's real affection for the escaped man, and so he uses Huck's feelings as the roots of his game. Tom's plan is childish and unnecessary; he ends up getting shot by accident, which he treats as a great honor. Tom clearly doesn't really care about Jim's status as a free man or about Huck's feelings; he just wants to play.

Coloring A Big BoardDiscrete Mathematics Level 4
Consider a \(27\times 30\) board in which its squares have been colored red or blue. We know that for each blue square, that is not on the edge, 4 of the 8 squares that are adjacent, are red. Also, we know that for each red square, that is not on the edge, 5 of the 8 squares that are adjacent, are blue. Find the maximum number of red squares on the board.
Details and Assumptions:
2 squares are adjacent if they share at least a vertex. Indeed, each square that's not on the edge has exactly 8 adjacent squares.

Fig 9 Above is the plot of Force vs. Flow rate at a constant ball speed of 0.38 m/sec. The line tends to diverge to a critical gas flow rate of 78. This plot resembles one of a second order phase transition.
Distnace From Top Surface (in)
16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0
This graph is distance vs. flow rate. This shows how far the ball has sunk at different flow rates. This graph has the same critical flow rate at about 90 as in figure 7. The graph shows the phase transition line where the sand is a solid or a liquid.
The data lead us to a probable theoretical conclusion. Knowing that the function
for the viscous force is 2.3 ((W-Wcrit)/Wcrit) –1, the drag force factors into the product of
two equations. The drag force is equal to a function of velocity times the viscous force
function of the flow rate. The calculated function turns out to be
F ( v,w ) = ( 1.9 + 0.064 log (v))
where F is a function of velocity and flow rate. We are unsure about the log part of this
equation, but the viscous function of the flow rate seems to agree with our data quite
well. This allows us to cover all the data points with this single function of velocity and
gas flow rate. (shown in figure 11).

Cockatiels are part of a group of birds (which includes parrots) that have the ability to mimic human speech. If you have a pet cockatiel, or if you plan to get one, you can very much teach it how to talk. All you need are a few hours every day for training, and soon you'll have a talking bird on your hands. Here are some tips to guide you as you train your pet cockatiel:
- Consider its sex and age when training a cockatiel. Young cockatiels are easier to train than older ones. As long as the bird is comfortable with you, there is no reason to delay its training. Keep in mind that male cockatiels find it easier to mimic human speech than the females. If you have yet to acquire a pet, then you certainly would have to consider this bit of fact.
- Expose your pet bird to a lot of interaction. This will guarantee that your pet constantly hears human voices and this will help it mimic specific sounds. Provide your pet with ample space and a clean environment to keep it happy. Make sure that it is healthy as well. Sick birds might become too distressed to train. Keep your pet cockatiel happy and healthy and you will have no problem teaching it to talk.
Cockatiels are actually very picky when choosing which words to mimic. The key to their interest is by making sure that you make the words sound interesting. You can do this by keeping your tone happy and enthusiastic. Otherwise, even with constant repetition, if they are not interested in the word, they won't bother with it.
- Choose a simple word or phrase. "Hi," "Hello," "Bye," "Good day," etc. are good candidates to use during training. Make sure that you teach only one word at a time. Introduce a new word only when your pet has mastered the first one.
- Decide on a training schedule. Birds are usually eager to learn early in the morning and in the afternoon at the end of the day. Give about 15 minutes per session, at least two sessions a day.
- Decide on your training area. Make sure that it is quiet and void of any kind of distraction, especially noise and other sounds. Keep other pets such as cats and dogs away.
- Take your bird out of its cage. Make sure that it sees your lips and hears your words clearly. Say the word slowly and loudly. Repeat it for 5 minutes using the same pitch and tone. Take a 5-minute break and then continue for another 5 minutes.
- Always keep treats on hand. When your pet keeps still and watches your lips as you speak, give it a treat. If the cockatiel tries to make a sound (even if it's garbled) after you have repeated a word, give it a treat as well. Giving a pet treat during training will encourage it to do what you teach it.
Also, you have to be very patient when you train your pet bird. Your pet's first attempts to mimic may not be what you had in mind, but it's okay. Do not get frustrated when your pet cockatiel is not able to mimic you perfectly. Some cockatiels can only mimic sounds that resemble actual words, while some can only sing or whistle.

An overly warm winter: challenges for arable farmers
Winter was far too warm. This has effects on crop production and presents challenges to arable farmers. AGRAVIS crop production expert Stefan Hanebrink explains why.
- Bildmaterial zum Content
Why was winter so unusual?
Hanebrink: Such a warm December as we had in 2015 has not happened for over 100 years. Many places didn't receive any frost. With an average temperature of 6.5 degrees, it was five degrees warmer than the long term average, according to the German Meteorological Service.
What challenges arise as a result for farmers?
Hanebrink: In particular, the warm winter and the wetness meant that fungal diseases developed well in cereal stocks. For this reason farmers had to expect a severe infestation. Grass weeds and weeds have developed well through the course of the winter. This should be borne in mind during initial fertilising.
Also, how do we carry on through spring?
Hanebrink: The small number of frosty days that occurred at the meteorological beginning of spring were welcomed by many farmers. It made it possible to drive on fields and allowed them to carry out initial fertilisation and crop protection measures. In many places some may wish for more frosty days. Now we have to wait for spring to start in earnest so that we can expect growth. This will have a significant effect on further measures.

Describe the factors that keep the metabolic rate at a high level and evaluate w
Metabolic rate has many variables. Cellular metabolic rate is determined
by how active the cell is in making proteins, dividing, and producing
energy for those processes.
Related to aging, having a balanced diet would help prevent the
metabolic rate from slowing because the cells will have all the
materials they need to grow and repair. Exercise also puts strain on the
cells so after exercise the repair of tissues increases their metabolic

TITLE: What Do You See?
By Lee Ann Rubsam

ADD TO MY FAVORITES
“Samuel, go to Bethlehem. It’s time to anoint a king, and I have chosen one of Jesse’s sons for the task.”
Samuel plied me with questions. “Will he be tall, like Saul? Will he be handsome and dignified, as he was? I remember when you chose him. Everyone could instantly see that he was every inch a king.”
“Although he looked the part, you know what his heart was,” I sadly replied, and said no more.
We reached Bethlehem, and the town was abuzz. It was not every day that the Lord’s prophet appeared in the village. Samuel carried My Presence, and they all knew it.
“Call together the elders, for I have come to sacrifice! And find me Jesse and his sons. They are to be my particular guests at the feast.” The people glanced at each other in surprise. What had Jesse ever done to be the guest of honor?
We waited until the old man arrived, seven strapping young men in tow. He lined them up, from firstborn to youngest, and eagerly introduced them to the prophet. I watched Samuel’s face as he eyed them carefully, and I inwardly smiled. The concept I was about to teach him always comes hard to the natural man’s mind.
“Lord, we’ve found him! Surely it’s the eldest, Eliab. Look at him! Tall and handsome, just like Saul was.”
I whispered, “Don’t pay attention to his outer attractiveness. I’ve refused him, because his heart is not right. You’ve seen before that My choices can be surprising. Man tends to see only the outward appearance that his natural eye presents to him, but I look right into the heart.” Samuel smiled a little uncertainly, but with a twinkle in his eye. He had caught on to the adventure that was unfolding.
“God wants to place greatness on one of your sons, Jesse … but I’m sorry – it isn’t Eliab.” Samuel turned his attention to the next in line, while both Jesse and Eliab looked crestfallen. He gazed intently at Abinadab, listened for My “No!” in his spirit, and then announced, “God hasn’t chosen him, either.”
On down the line Samuel stalked, shaking his head after examining each of Jesse’s sons. Jesse was getting nervous. His sons were disgruntled. Samuel was the most disturbed of all. “Lord, what’s going on? There aren’t many left to choose from, and even I can see that number seven is not what we’re looking for!”
Samuel reached the end of the line. He attempted to retain a dignified prophet demeanor, but he, too, was confused, and was inwardly telling Me so.
“Just trust Me,” I assured him.
“The Lord God has not chosen any of these,” Samuel announced. “But, are these all your children, Jesse?”
Jesse responded reluctantly, “Well, there is the youngest, David. He’s tending the sheep.”
Samuel heard the awkward embarrassment in his voice, and also noticed the ripple of comments among the brothers. “They’re calling the poet!” “What could they want with the brat?” “Wet-nosed kid! He’ll embarrass us all.”
I watched My friend Samuel, and saw the light dawn on his countenance. “Call the boy! We will not sit down to eat without him!”
David arrived, and I whispered, “This is the one, Samuel. This is My anointed!”
“Lord, I see it now! He’s young, but Your light is in his eyes. This one truly is Your choice!”
Samuel uncapped his oil horn and anointed David the next king of Israel.
On the way home to Ramah, I further explained what had transpired. “Samuel, do you remember what it was like when you were a boy, and I put My hand upon you to be the prophet of Israel?”
He chuckled. “I wasn’t much then, was I, Lord.”
I laughed with him. “No, you weren’t. Nobody would have guessed what I would make of you – a prophet whose words have never failed. I looked past your appearance, and saw your heart, and knew that you would love and obey Me. It will be the same with David. He’ll be a man after My own heart, just like you have been.”

It’s important to keep in mind that Gilgamesh is a story translated from a dead language and written by people with a totally different mindset than ours, so whether the morals we read into it were actually intended will never be certain. However, it is significant that the story is set around 4700 years ago, near the time that civilizations began to heavily deforest areas to create timber, farmland and space for an empire.
In the story, King Gilgamesh goes into the woods with his men and begins cutting down trees. This angers the god Humbaba, who was given the task of protecting the forests by the Sumerian’s chief god Enlil. Gilgamesh battles the god and eventually kills him, then continues clearing forest for his own profit. The asssumed moral is that destroying forests goes against the harmonious balance of the natural world.

The resource has been added to your collection
Proofs as they are known in Geometry are what is necessary for students to learn to see all of the small parts of the larger picture in math. Although proofs are specifically used for geometry, the knowledge and skills gained from mastering proofs translate to all forms of math. Proofs are quite different from the typical equation and solve problems that students spend the majority of their time practicing. Instead, proofs are set up as a chart, that shows the flow of logic and reasoning that a student uses when solving a problem. A proof can be used to describe the relationship between different angles, lengths, and other mathematical numbers while showing both the statements and justifications of each step as the solution progresses.

Close ties between teachers and community
In this excerpt, Nickerson remembers the connections that flowed between school, home, and church. This connection gave life to the community, but also meant that the code of behavior enforced by teachers often followed students home.
Citing this Excerpt
Oral History Interview with Stella Nickerson, January 20, 2001. Interview K-0554. Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007) in the Southern Oral History Program Collection, Southern Historical Collection, Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Full Text of the Excerpt
BG: Did the teachers live in the same area that you lived?
SN: Yes, some did. The principal lived on the street behind us.
BG: Mr. [Peace?]
SN: Mr. Peace. He lived behind me when I was at Lincoln. Mr. McDougle lived sort of diagonal from me.
BG: They were right out there in your face.
SN: Oh yeah. And some of my teachers went to school with my parents. Or went to school with my aunts, or somebody in my family. So, you know--.
BG: Did they socialize with your parents or with people in the community?
BG: Did they go to the same churches?
SN: They’d go to the same churches. Or I remember a couple of teachers were friends of my aunts. And they still are. Yes.
BG: Did you look at the teachers as friend or foe?
SN: They weren’t foes, so they must have been friends [laughs].
BG: What happened if you misbehaved?
SN: Ooh. Well, it’s basically, you got it at school and you got it again when you got home. You got a lecture at school and you got a lecture when you got home. It wasn’t as if what happened at school stayed at school. Your parents would find out about it.
BG: Right away?
SN: Well, by the time you got home.
BG: That’s right away [laughs].
SN: Well, it wasn’t like two or three days later. And so basically you just behaved yourself. I wouldn’t say I was a behavior problem. By the time I got to the next grade I tried a couple of things and I learned very quickly that wasn’t going to go so I, you know, straightened up.
BG: How important was the school to the community?
SN: I would say it was very important. It was a connection. It was something that the communities could say was definitely theirs. It was a gathering place. And Chapel Hill was very proud of Lincoln High. It’s not just the band, or the football team. But we had very high standards in the classroom. You didn’t slack off there, you worked. And if you didn’t work, then there were consequences.

Sections of the Theater
The Orchestra. The main floor of the theater is called the Orchestra. This can get
confusing if you’re going to an orchestra concert and your seat is in the Orchestra. That
doesn’t mean that you’ll be seated onstage with an instrument in your hands! In some venues this area is called the Stalls.
Balconies. In some theaters the balconies have special names like Loge, or Founders’
Circle, or Dress Circle. Sometimes the front part of a balcony has one name and the back
part of the same balcony has another name. These names, and what they mean, are
different in every theater.
Boxes. Boxes are small booths for a few people, usually located in one of the lower
balconies. Some outdoor amphitheaters have boxes close to the stage. Boxes may have
extra privacy. Not all theaters have them.
Standing room. In some theaters, you can buy a cheaper ticket that entitles you to
stand in the back, behind the last row of seats. If you’re hardy, this can be a great way to
Special seating. Occasionally, when the performing group is small and the audience
is big, extra chairs are set up on the stage, surrounding the musicians. If you like to watch
performers up close, this can be a great place to sit.
Some concert halls are designed for this kind of wraparound audience; they have
permanent seating behind the musicians.
Some theaters provide spaces for wheelchairs. Call the box office or the theater to
arrange access; space may be limited.
Visual obstructions. Some theaters have a
few seats with only a partial view of the stage.
Maybe there’s a handrail or a pillar in the way,
or maybe the architect was a nut case. These
obstructed seats are sometimes extra cheap.

July 15, 2003 -- Fat people would be much fatter without Foxa-2. The gene puts the brakes on fat gain, mouse studies show.
Now the trick is to find a way to turn the gene on in people at risk for developing obesity, says study leader Markus Stoffel, MD, PhD, of Rockefeller University in New York. Stoffel and colleagues report the findings in the Aug. 1 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
"We have shown that Foxa-2 has two beneficial effects in mice," Stoffel says in a news release. "This is the ideal combination for pharmacologically treating obese or type 2 diabetes patients, or people with a risk of developing obesity."
Foxa-2is unlike other known genes linked to obesity. The new findings mark the first time anyone's found a gene that's turned on in fat cells themselves to counteract obesity.
The gene isn't on all the time. In mice, it waits until the animal already is overweight. Then it kicks in. It keeps young cells from turning into fat cells. And it slows down further fat production and storage in mature fat cells.
The researchers think the same thing happens in people.
Interestingly, the researchers found that growth hormone turns on Foxa-2 in cells that don't normally express the gene. That, they suggest, is why growth hormone has anti-fat effects. But they warn against the use of growth hormone to lose weight.
"We do not believe that growth hormone is responsible for the induction of Foxa-2 in obesity," Stoffel says. "And we can't give growth hormone to patients because there are too many negative side effects."

Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of families and communities through the promotion of healthy lifestyles, research for disease and injury prevention and detection and control of infectious diseases. Public health professionals try to prevent problems from happening or recurring through implementing educational programs, recommending policies, administering services and conducting research. A large part of public health is promoting health care equity, quality and accessibility.

Patterning is a great learning skill for preschool children to learn. It can help develop both reading and math and science skills. Learning to see patterns, likes and differences and things that go together are all helping young children develop the brain connections needed to solve problems.
When teaching young children to see patterns, we typically start by placing like and different objects in a line. Then we repeat the sequence. Then we ask the child to also repeat the sequence.
We set out two blue poker chips and then one white chip.
Then we repeat the sequence; two blue chips and one white chip.
Finally we ask the child to continue the sequence. He should set out two blue chips and one white.
We can use small toys, poker chips, paper strips, nuts, beads, silverware. Here are a few more examples of Patterning exercises or games.

Scars and the Art of Plastic Surgery
A scar is nature’s thread, mending broken or cut skin with a waterproof closure. A skin cut initiates a complex inflammatory process designed to manufacture that thread. Like a skilled army, specialized cells lay down a clot to stop the bleeding, while wound-healing chemicals flow to the rescue. One of those chemicals is histamine.
Histamine stretches out a blood vessel like a stocking, opening up little holes to allow special healing cells to leak out. You might be familiar with a certain side effect: Histamine can make scars itch.
Collagen-producing cells go to work like a garment factory, knitting the wound closed. Just as the factory needs electricity to run, those cells need extra energy and oxygen.
In the lungs, red blood cells load up oxygen like cargo boats, and they float down the blood vessels, handing out oxygen where it’s needed. For a wound to heal, however, the limited network of blood vessels isn’t sufficient to supply enough oxygen.
What’s a body to do?
How about… grow more blood vessels? And that’s exactly what happens. The body creates more capillaries to bring more oxygen-rich blood. The red blood inside the capillaries flows just below the scar’s surface. The result is sort of like… a blush.
That’s why scars are pink.
In the final phase of scar-making, the disorganized, heaped-up, young collagen reorganizes into its flat, mature form. (It’s like seeing a teenager grow up.)
Once the job is done, the extra capillaries are no longer needed, so they disappear, slinking off without a trace.
That’s why scars fade.
The ideal scar is thin, flat, and asymptomatic, but that takes time, up two years. (Some scars take even longer to grow up, just like some humans.)
So how do you get a ‘star’ scar?
Plastic surgeons create scars every time they cut skin. Part of the art of plastic surgery consists of hiding incisions—in folds, within hair, and along contour changes. But those incisions leave scars. (Plastic surgeons aren’t magicians.)
It’s natural for patients to hope for a perfect scar: thin, flat, and white, but not everyone heals that way. Factors that affect scarring include:
1. Genetics: You inherit your scar-forming qualities from your parents.
2. Tension: An incision closed under tension is more likely to be thick, raised, and wide.
3. Location and type of skin: Eyelid scars are typically better than back or chest scars.
4. Age: Children are more likely to develop thick scars between the ages of 8 and 16, while older people with thin skin are more likely to form fine scars.
5. Wound condition: Shredded skin edges are more likely to cause thick scars than cleanly cut ones.
6. Proper closure: Surgical technique can impact the result, though the best technique won’t overcome other factors.
7. Blood supply: Factors such as smoking can result in death of skin, leading to delayed healing, a wider scar, and the need for surgery to close the wound.
8. Infection: A wound infection can disrupt the wound and lead to a wider scar.
9. Poor diet: Inadequate nutrition can delay healing and result in opening of the wound.
10. Health: Medications, medical conditions, and previous radiation can affect wound healing, so share your medical history with your doctor.
And that’s the story of scar formation.
It’s really sort of magical if you think about it!
Potential patients may be concerned about scars after plastic surgery. Though no one can predict how an individual will heal, one’s parents’ and siblings’ scars can give an idea of inherited scarring potential. Patients can improve their chances of good scars by being honest with their doctors about their medical histories and finding an ABPS board-certified plastic surgeon trained to minimize and/or hide scarring. The chances are they'll be pleased with the results.

: Does anyone know the origin of the saying "And how!"
"and how! Indicating 'intensive emphasis of what someone else has just said,' 'and how!' is a long-popular catchphrase first recorded in 1924. The Americanism possibly derives from the German 'und wie!' or the Italian 'e come!', meaning the same thing, and once very common among Americans of German and Italian extraction, respectively." From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997).

Kizhakudan, Joe K and Thirumilu, P and Rajapackiam, S and Manibal, C (2004) Captive breeding and seed production of scyllarid lobsters - opening new vistas in crustacean aquaculture. Marine Fisheries Information Service, Technical and Extension Series, 181. pp. 1-4.
Lobsters have been identified as a valuable seafood delicacy and enjoy great market demand worldwide. World production of lobsters average about 2.1 lakh tonnes per annum. Unlike shrimps, spiny lobsters generally have a complex and prolonged life cycle, which often involves long distance movement during the larval phase. The larvae after hatching transit through several planktonic larval stages and are carried away from the coast by currents. Large scale seed production and a grow out feed is required for successful pond farming of sand lobsters. The research programmes are directed towards achieving this goal.

Both trees can be seen in the Limpopo Province.
I did not find any evidence that there is any difference, it is simply that the species coloration can vary. There are 8 species of “baobab” tree in the genus Adansonia, but only one exists on the mainland of Africa (Adansonia digitata) and therefore in the Limpopo region. The other seven are mostly native to Madagascar, and Australia.

Very early plants do not have cell walls. As cell walls developed, plants were able to colonize land. Many of these early plants reproduced using spores. A great example of this is the fern. If you find a fern that has many small orange or brown dots under the leaf, you should put a leaf in a white paper bag and in a few days you will see little brown dust at the bottom of the bag. This dust is the spores. Later plants, would develop lignin which allowed them to grow into trees. However, these conifers still reproduced by, “gymnosperms” or “naked seeds”. The angiosperms are the most, “recent”evolutionary development. Angiosperms are flowering plants that have a seed that is encased with it’s own food supply.

In sheltered, humid sites in the Caledonian Forest, the high moisture content in the air encourages the growth of a profusion of lichens on tree trunks and branches. Easy to overlook in summer, when they are hidden by the trees’ leaves, they are much more conspicuous in winter. These lichens act like leaves, using the sun’s energy for photosynthesis, although that is for their own benefit, not the trees.

Motivation for cribbing by horses
The motivation to crib was compared to the motivation to eat. Eight horses (Equus caballus) were operantly conditioned to push a switch for the opportunity to crib. When a progressive ratio was imposed, they worked as hard for a cribbing opportunity as for the opportunity to
eat sweetened grain indicating a high demand. Another measure of motivation is the effort expended by the animal. The force exerted when a horse cribs was measured by attaching weights to a door and observing how heavy the weights had to be to prevent the horse from pulling a door toward itself
when it cribbed. Seven horses were tested. Each neck flex of a crib-biting action was forceful enough to lift 29.4 (± 5) kg. The motivation to crib and the force involved indicates that thwarting cribbing is a welfare issue.

Beyond Aristocracy and Democracy in the Early Period
Nietzsche scholars have long been divided over whether Nietzsche is an aristocratic or a democratic thinker. Nietzche's Culture of Humanity overcomes this debate by proving both sides wrong. Jeffrey Church argues that in his early period writings, Nietzsche envisioned a cultural meritocracy that drew on the classical German tradition of Kant and Herder. The young Nietzsche's 'culture of humanity' synthesized the high and low, the genius and the people, the nation and humanity. Nietzsche's early ideal of culture can shed light on his mature period thought, since, Church argues, Nietzsche does not abandon this fundamental commitment to a cultural meritocracy. Nietzche's Culture of Humanity argues that Nietzsche's novel defense of culture can overcome some persisting problems in contemporary liberal theories of culture. As such, this book should interest Nietzsche scholars, political theorists and philosophers interested in modern thought, as well as contemporary thinkers concerned with the politics of culture.

We know Louisiana is threatened by rising seas and sinking land. But residents of the shrinking community of Isle de Jean Charles, about 80 miles from New Orleans, have seen it firsthand.
“From here to Pointe-Aux-Chenes, it was all grass. Now it’s all water,” says Edison Dardar in a documentary called “Vanishing Island.”
“When I was young, about maybe 250 houses, maybe 300 houses,” he says. “Now there’s maybe 20.”
Filmmaker Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee wrote in The New York Times:
The island is a ground zero for climate change – affected by rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and increasingly severe storms. Experts predict that these problems will soon confront coastal areas around the world. As another hurricane season begins this week, residents are aware of the threat to their home. What is it like to experience these changes, knowing there is little to nothing you can do to stop them?
Thursday at 12:15 p.m. CT, The Lens’ Bob Marshall will talk with Vaughan-Lee about the documentary and the challenges faced by residents in coastal Louisiana. Watch the video and join us.

Prof. Schmidt studies sprays and multiphase
flow. This work is motivated by the need to reduce pollution from
gasoline, diesel, and aircraft engines. With the right spray,
an engine can often produce less emissions and maintain good fuel
economy. Prof. Schmidt's research program uses advanced computational
techniques to predict what a spray will do in an engine. His group
works on new models to simulate droplet breakup, collision, evaporation,
and turbulent dispersion. These new models then find their way
into corporate research programs, commerical simulation codes,
and other academic investigations. The end result is better, cleaner,
Below is a computation of an airblast spray.
The spray droplets are colored by their radius. This computation
was done in collaboration between Fluent Inc., Convergent Thinking
LLC, and an aircraft engine manufacturer. The computations wereperformed
using a specially modified version of Fluent 5.

Shingles is a painful condition caused by the Varicella Zoster virus. Though it often manifests itself as a blistering skin rash, it is actually a condition of the nervous system. In addition to skin irritation, shingles is incredibly painful. While shingles can occur on any part of the body, it is common and particularly uncomfortable on both the scalp and eyelids. Thankfully, there are a variety of different methods to treat shingles on your eyelids and scalp.
- Skill level:
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Anti-viral medications
- Prescription topical creams
- Ice water
- Arsenicum album
- Clematis erecta
- Rhux toxicodendron
See your doctor. Shingles on your eyelids are particularly dangerous. If it is left untreated, the virus can damage your eyes and even cause blindness. Antiviral medications are commonly prescribed to treat shingles and they must be taken within 72 hours of the blister formation.
Talk to your doctor about prescription topical creams. Local anesthetic creams will soothe your blistered skin and ease shingles' pain. Do not apply over-the-counter creams as they may react poorly with the blisters. While you can apply such creams liberally to your scalp, be careful with application on your eyelids. You must keep the cream out of your eyes to avoid unpleasant and debilitating eye irritation.
Take an anti-inflammatory medication. Pills such as aspirin and ibuprofen are available over-the-counter at most grocery and chemists. The medicine will help to reduce inflammation on your eyelids and scalp. It will also decrease pain from the shingles.
Apply a cool compress to your eyelids and scalp. Soak a clean washcloth in ice water and apply it to the affected areas. Leave the compress on your scalp and eyelids for about ten minutes. Wait five minutes and then repeat the application.
Rest. As shingles attacks your nervous system, it is far more than just a skin condition. You must get plenty of rest in order to bolster your immune system and aid recovery.
Try herbal remedies. Arsenicum album is used to treat shingles' pain and aid in skin's recovery process. It is available in oral and topical forms at most health and homeopathic stores. Clematis erecta and rhux toxicodendron are other herbal remedies commonly used to treat shingles.
Tips and warnings
- Shingles is highly contagious.
- See your doctor immediately at the first sign of shingles.
- Do not pop or squeeze shingles' blisters. Doing so can lead to scarring.

The biggest US state is full of superlatives. Denali, the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet, is still rising, pushed upward as a tectonic plate collides from the south. The collision has also created huge mountains along Alaska's Gulf Coast, where humid coastal air has produced the largest subpolar icefield in North America. The exceptional heights of Alaska's mountains are mirrored below sea level by the 22,377-foot-deep trench of the active subduction zone along Alaska's southern shore. Earthquakes associated with the subduction zone shake Alaskans frequently, and the magnitude 9.2 earthquake in 1964, with its epicenter in Prince William Sound, was one of the largest seismic events ever recorded. Such an active geologic setting calls for an updated edition of this popular roadside geology guide. Since the first edition was published in 1988, volcanoes have erupted, faults have ruptured, glaciers have retreated, permafrost has thawed, and geologic interpretations have changed. Author Cathy Connor discusses the latest findings as she guides readers along the roads of Alaska and adjacent parts of British Columbia and the Yukon. In addition to roads and national parks, the book covers the "boatside geology" of Alaska, including the fjords of southeast Alaska, islands in the Bering Sea, and the Tatshenshini River. Roadside Geology of Alaska is a must-have for any Alaska rock enthusiast.

I. What is the source of Benzene?
Benzene is an organic chemical compound, which is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It evaporates into the air very quickly and dissolves slightly in water. It is very flammable and is formed from both natural processes and human activities. It was discovered in 1825 by English scientist Michael Faraday. Natural sources of benzene include volcanoes and forest fires. It is also a natural part of crude oil, gasoline and cigarette smoke.
II. Why Do We Use or Make Benzene?
Benzene ranks in the top 20 chemicals for production volume in the US. Benzene is used to make other chemicals which are used to make plastics, resins and nylon. Benzene is also used to make some types of rubbers, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs and pesticides. It is also used as an additive to gasoline to increase the octane rating and reduce knocking.
III. What harm does Benzene cause to the natural environment?
Benzene can pass into the air from water and soil. Benzene in the air can then attach to rain or snow and be carried back down to the ground where is breaks down more slowly in water and soil and can pass through the soil into underground water. It can affect the air we breath in areas where there is a lot of exposure like gas stations. So it can destroy the quality of the air around us and the water we drink.
IV. What harm can Benzene cause to humans?
Benzene is a carcinogen it causes cancer. Breathing very high levels of Benzene can result in death. High levels can casue drawsiness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, headaches, tremors, confusion and unconsciousness. Long term exposure can cause anemia or leukemia and can affect fertility in women.
V. How can we repair the harm done by Benzene?
There is not too much that can be done to repair the harm that Benzene causes, because once the harm has been discovered, the Benzene has already been a human's system long enough to be detected....

Mrs. Castro asked her students to do an activity. Afterwards, her students noticed that the experimental probability of getting tails is 48%, while the
mathematical /theoretical probability is 50%. Being an attentive student, how would you explain this to your classmates?
a. The experimental is wrong
b. We should always rely on mathematical/theoretical probability
c. It is normal for experimental probabilities to vary from the theoretical probabilities but for a large number of trials. The two will be very close.
d. It is abnormal for the experimental probabilities to differ from the mathematical /theoretical probabilities because the results must be the same

In Vajrayana Buddhism, the Womb Realm (Skt. garbhakosa-dhatu, Japanese: 胎蔵界 taizōkai) is the metaphysical space inhabited by the Five Wisdom Kings. The Womb Realm is based on the Mahāvairocana Sutra. The name of the mandala derives from chapter 2 of the sutra, where it is said that Mahāvairocana Buddha revealed the mandala's secret teachings to his disciple Vajrasattva from his "womb of compassion". In other translations, the term matrix realm or Matrix Mandala are used.
The Womb Realm is a very popular subject for mandalas, and along with the Diamond Realm (vajradhatu) Mandala forms the Mandala of the Two Realms. This mandala, along with the Diamond Realm, form the core of Japanese esoteric, or Shingon Buddhist, rituals, including the initiation or abhiseka ritual. In this ritual, new initiates are blindfolded and asked to toss a flower upon a mandala. Where the flower lands helps decide which Buddhist figure the student should devote themselves to.
In traditional Shingon halls, the Womb Realm Mandala is hung on the east wall, symbolizing the young stage of Mahāvairocana Buddha. In this setting, the Diamond Realm Mandala is hung on the west wall symbolizing the final realization of Mahāvairocana Buddha.

Nine Juniors Attend STEM Field Trip
Nine eleventh graders attended a GEAR UP science, technology, engineering and math field trip on April 15th and 16th at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. Friday evening the students attended a workshop where college students spoke and answered questions about what it's like being a college student. Students then heard a presentation from a graduate student in geology whose life is dedicated to studying volcanoes. He gave a very passionate presentation about his travels researching volcanoes around the world. The students were housed in a hotel and enjoyed free time in the pool that night. Saturday the students visited the Chimpanzee Research Center on campus where three chimpanzees are kept. The chimpanzees speak sign language and their communication with each other and humans is researched at CWU. Next the students went to a session called College 101 where college students spoke about all aspects of how to go to college, including filling out the FAFSA, writing personal statements and applying for scholarships. After that session, students toured the campus and ate lunch in the cafeteria. The students enjoyed the all-you-can-eat buffet that CWU students choose from every day. Next the students traveled to the Wild Horse Wind Farm outside of Ellensburg to learn about wind energy. They learned how energy is generated by the large wind turbines. There are 127 wind turbines at the Wild Horse facility. Students hard a presentation about renewable energy and then went inside the base of one of the turbines. The wind was gusting to 50 mph that day. The students came home exhausted but full of new knowledge.

1) a. Lee has an income of $15,000 (after taxes). When the price of gasoline is $1.25 per gallon, Leebuys 4,000 gallons. Putting gasoline on the horizontal axis and "other goods" on the vertical axis,and assuming a unit of "other goods" costs $1, draw Lee's budget constraint and show the
a. The price of gasoline falls to $1.00, while Lee's income remains at $15,000. Draw the new
constraint and show a possible new equilibrium choice. For the choice you have drawn, illustrate
the income and substitution effects of the price change. As you have drawn it, is the income
effect positive or negative?
2) The state of California offers health insurance to its employees. It pays for 90 percent of each
employee's health care expenditures. To ease pressure on the budget, the State proposes to lower that share to 80 percent. (Assume there is no "deductible" provision in either plan; the State pays 80 or 90 percent of every dollar spent.) According to its consultant, employees' elasticity of demand for health care is 0.2. By what percentage will the State's outlays on employee health care decrease?
3) What would Consumer Surplus equal if market demand is perfectly price inelastic? What would Consumer Surplus equal if market demand is perfectly price elastic?
4) In a simple endowment economy, Jack and Jill are the only two consumers. Suppose that only two goods are consumed in this economy: apples and pails of water. Initially, Jack has an endowment of 5 apples and 10 pails of water. At this endowment, his marginal rate of substitution of water for apples is -1. Jill's endowment consists of 15 apples and 20 pails of water, and her marginal rate of substitution of water for apples is -3. Is the endowment Pareto efficient? If so, explain why. If not, describe a way to reallocate resources in order to make both agents better off. Draw an Edgeworth box diagram to illustrate your answer.
5. Suppose that there are only five consumers of a software game program. The demand curve for each of the consumers is identical. Will the market demand curve that is obtained by horizontally summing across the five individual consumers' demand curves be less or more price elastic at any price than the demand curve for any of the individual consumers?
6. For a person who saves in year 1, a higher interest rate will increase consumption in year 2 but may either increase or reduce the amount saved in year 1. Explain this statement, using the concepts of income and substitution effects.
7. Even though they enter graduate school at roughly the same age, law students typically own nicer cars than do Ph.D. students. Assuming that there is no difference across the two groups in terms of preferences and current incomes, explain this phenomenon. Rely on the intertemporal for your explanation.
Discuss current equilibrium point.

Melt is to become liquified by heat.
Example: I melted two bars of chocolate for this mousse.
Thaw is to become softened (and eventually liquid) as the result of warming. Example: The river thawed and barges of food began to reach the capital.
Any good online or paper dictionary will provide you with dozens of examples of how you might use these two words. Sometimes they are interchangeable, sometimes they are not.
NB: There are several examples in scientific domains where they are strictly not interchangeable.

Discuss your reaction to the character
of Hamlet in the two (2) soliloquies from the text. Consider the extent
to which you sympathize with him and / or think he is self-absorbed.
Explain the manner in which the literary form of soliloquy shapes your
view of Hamlet. Identify one (1) or two (2) lines (except "To be, or not
to be") that you find interesting or favor, and explain your choice.
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
It is quite right one who read Shakespeare`s tragedy sympathize with Hamlet. Shakespeare lead his every character to a highest level of emotional instability and then he made them do things which become regret for his characters. That is what he did to Hamlet. As Hamlet was very strong and powerful character, he loved his father, he came to know that his mother was unfaithful to his father. As far the circumstances Hamlet have to go through one simply got feeling of sympathy to Hamlet.
Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.

Some of you may be surprised to learn about the impact of waste reduction during the last century. After all, the popular belief is that we excel at making increasingly large piles of trash. And that is true, to the extent that our ability to make more babies means we will have more people to generate more garbage.
But it is not true that the amount of trash each of us makes always is increasing. In fact, the normal economic pressures in a free market system guarantee that manufacturers are constantly figuring out how to use fewer raw materials when making products or packages. They create less trash for us in the process. Smaller, lighterweight contenders almost always are going to win the race to the consumer's pocketbook.
The most recent proof of this comes from New York City. Dan Walsh, an adjunct professor at Columbia University's Earth Island Institute, recently published, in Environmental Science and Technology magazine, a detailed analysis of Big Apple waste generation throughout the 20th century. Among his conclusions, the average New Yorker made more garbage at the beginning of the 20th century than at its end. Per capita generation peaked in 1940, when the average New Yorker made twice as much garbage in 1940 as in 1999.
Why less trash? Because how we live and the materials we use in our daily lives have changed dramatically. In 1900, ash from burning wood or coal for heat and energy provided 80 percent of the waste stream. Today, very little ash is in garbage because we get our heat and energy from other sources.
Other materials, most notably paper, increased in use. In 1900, paper was 5 percent of New York City's trash. A century later, paper products of all kinds — from newspapers, corrugated boxes, writing papers, milk cartons and shoeboxes — gave the Big Apple more than one-third of its trash. Plastic also has greatly increased its solid waste market share. In 1900, plastic was a newly discovered, little-used material. Today, it provides more than 10 percent of Gotham's garbage. While the use of lightweight plastic and aluminum increased, glass and steal are used less.
Trash will continue to evolve. I don't know what our garbage will look like in 100 years, but I know it will be different, perhaps unrecognizable. The easy guess is that we will use less paper. Even plastic is likely to change in use and composition. But I have no idea what new materials are waiting to be invented to replace the products and packages we take for granted today.
Until the '70s, per capita waste generation increased during boom years and decreased during recessions. During the '70s, however, material lightweighting took off as manufacturers intensified their efforts to make more from less.
Trash evolves along with technology. Lighterweight products are easier to use, less expensive to transport and more convenient for consumers. Transportation costs are particularly important. A truck can carry more of a product packaged in plastic than it can carry of the same product packaged in glass or steel. Some people might not want to hear this, but markets, not government mandates, have given us less waste and a more efficient economy.

One of Dali's hallucinatory obsessions was the legend of William Tell, which represented for him the archetypal theme of paternal assault. The subject occurs frequently in his paintings from 1929, when he entered into a liaison with Gala Eluard, his future wife, against his father’s wishes. Dalí felt an acute sense of rejection during the early 1930s because of his father’s attitude toward him.
Here, father, son, and perhaps mother seem to be fused in the grotesque dream-image of the hermaphroditic creature at center. William Tell’s apple is replaced by a loaf of bread, with attendant castration Symbolism. (Elsewhere Dalí uses a lamb chop to suggest his father’s cannibalistic impulses.) Out of the bread arises a lugubrious cloud vision inspired by the imagery of Arnold Böcklin. In one of the recesses of this cloud is an enigmatic inscription in French: “Consigne: gâcher l’ardoise totale?”
The repressed, guilty desire of the central figure is indicated by its attitude of both protestation and arousal toward the forbidden flower-headed woman (presumably Gala). The shadow darkening the scene is cast by an object outside the picture and may represent the father’s threatening presence, or a more general prescience of doom, the advance of age, or the extinction of life.

FC: Great Depression Project | Evan100897
1: This book is dedicated to all the people who had a rough time during the Great Depression.
2: The Great Depression was caused by many factors. These factors were the Stock Market Crash of 1929, bank failures, reduction in purchasing across the board, the American Economic Policy with Europe, and drought conditions.
4: The Great Depression lasted from 1930 until 1939.
7: Life during the Great Depression was difficult for many. Unemployment was widespread. Many people lost their life savings due to bank failures so they had no money to buy things. Some had to sell whatever they owned in order to buy food. Drought made it hard for farmers to raise crops for both humans and other animals.
9: Not only American citizens but people in other countries were affected by the Great Depression. In the U.S. jobs were hard to find, so many people who wanted to work couldn't. Many Europeans had invested in the U.S. stock market and lost money.
10: The Great Depression ended because of the start of World War II. Interestingly, doing nothing also helped end the Great Depression.

|Venerated in||Roman Catholic Church|
|Feast||8 April & 15 April|
Saint Pausilypus was a Christian martyr of the second century. He was condemned to be beheaded under Emperor Hadrian; however, the chains in which he was bound fell from him on the way and he miraculously escaped from his persecutors. He died soon after, about 140 AD at Heraclea Sintica in Thrace, as a result of the torture inflicted on him by his captors.
When commemorated on his own, his feast is April 8; when commemorated with the Roman Martyrs, April 15.

1. Be prepared for class.
2. Listen to others' answers without prejudice.
3. Be respectful to others' ideas.
4. Strive to produce you "Personal Best" at all times.
5. Bring and put to use your skills from one classroom to the next.
6. Follow directions the first time given.
7. Use and maintain your agenda.
We believe that there is a direct connection between student achievement and homework completion. We assign homework because it is useful in the reinforcement of concepts and skills being taught in the class as well as teaching responsibility and helping foster the development of positive study and work habits. Homework may also be used to help provide the necessary background for an upcoming topic or lesson to be discussed.
We expect students to do their best job on homework. Homework should be neat. We expect students to do the work on their own and ask for help only after they have given it their best effort, unless it is a cooperative group or family activity. We will check all homework. We strongly believe in the value positive support plays in motivating children to develop good study habits. We will give students praise and other incentives when they do their homework.
We will assign homework Monday through Friday nights. Students should spend 60-90 minutes on school related activities. There may be days when there is no homework or the assignment is minimal. On such days, students should be reading, writing, studying, practicing math facts, or working on long-range projects. Daily homework that has not been completed by its due date cannot accomplish these objectives. Late homework will not be accepted and a zero grade will be recorded for that assignment. Long term graded assignments will lose 10 points each day it is late. No assignment will be accepted five days after its due date.
This year your child will be using an agenda. It is a daily record of work for which your child is responsible. Please check this agenda on a regular basis. The agenda will help you to know when homework or long-term projects are due. It should also indicate the dates of tests. Your child should write NH (no homework) in the blocks where there is no specific assignment given on that day.

James Charles Evers was born on September 11, 1922 in Decatur, Mississippi
to parents Jesse Wright and James Evers. Growing up in Mississippi during the era of Jim Crow
, Evers witnessed the effects of racial discrimination and prejudice firsthand. At the age of ten, he witnessed a horrific lynching
of a black man who had been accused of insulting a white woman. This lynching left a lasting impression on Evers, who vowed, along with his younger brother, Medgar
, to exact change for the blacks of Mississippi.
At the age of seventeen, Evers joined the U. S. Army
. He served overseas during World War II
, first in Australia
and then in the Philippines
. When he left the Army in 1946, Evers returned home to Decatur. During the 1940’s, Evers began his life-long commitment to the civil rights
movement when he, along with Medgar, organized voter registration drives throughout Mississippi. He enrolled at Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Alcorn State University
) where he graduated in 1950. While at Alcorn, Evers captained the school’s football
team and was student body president. During his summers, however, he traveled north to Chicago, Illinois
with his brother Medgar in search of work. In 1951, Evers married Nannie Laurie and they moved to the town of Philadelphia, Mississippi. Evers found a job teaching history and coaching
high school football in the nearby town of Noxapater. Evers left teaching when the school in which he taught refused to accept his daughter as a student.
After his short stint in teaching, Evers engaged in many different business pursuits over the next several years. He worked as a funeral parlor director, cab-driver, disc-jockey, and even as a bootlegger. Evers was made the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
State Voter Registration Chairman in 1954. He remained in Mississippi until 1956, when he was run out of town by angry whites who feared Evers’ political activism. Evers then moved to Chicago and became a successful nightclub owner, disc jockey, and real estate agent. He lived in Chicago until his brother Medgar was assassinated in 1963. Upon his return to Mississippi, he took over his brother’s position as field director of the NAACP in Mississippi. As field director, Evers organized and led many demonstrations for the rights of African Americans.
In 1969, Evers was named “Man of the Year” by the NAACP. In the same year, he won election as the mayor of Fayette, Mississippi. Evers was re-elected as mayor of Fayette in 1973 after an unsuccessful bid for the governorship of Mississippi in 1972. He served as mayor until 1981, and again from 1985 to 1989. Evers also ran for a U.S. senate seat in 1978. Over the years Evers has been an outspoken proponent for the rights of African Americans. He has also served as an informal advisor to Presidents John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan. Charles Evers still lives in Mississippi and is currently the station manager of radio station WMPR 90.1 FM in Jackson, Mississippi.

Practising punctuation and capitalization? These worksheets are just what you need for your lessons! Add the correct punctuation and capital letters to the sentences in the worksheets - and you will be word perfect in no time!
Correct punctuation helps make writing easier to understand. It tells us when to take a breath, or highlights the importance of someone or something.
Children usually begin writing without using any punctuation at all! As they get older, it helps to practice what to use, and when to use it.
Some free worksheets from me first :)
Here are some punctuation exercises and worksheets you may find useful from other sites. I cannot control their content, so if you find a link that is offensive, please let me know so I can remove it. These links will open in a new tab.
