|Member of the Frankfurt Parliament|
15 November 1791|
Gut Klettenberg, near Hohenstein, Thuringia
|Died||21 December 1869
|Alma mater||University of Göttingen|
Scheller studied jurisprudence at the University of Göttingen from 1809 until 1813 and graduated as a lawyer. The following year, he became a judge in Aachen, a job he carried out until 1816, when he became president of the Krefeld courts of justice. Further work took Scheller to Halberstadt and Berlin, and later to Frankfurt (Oder).

According to the Earth Day Recycling 101 brochure, ceramics cannot by recycled. In fact, contaminants such as ceramics, other types of glass, metal rings, and caps cause problems in the recycling process and must be kept out of recyclable glass. Ceramics, for example, have a higher melting temperature than glass. When mixed with recyclable glass in the melting furnace, the ceramic pieces become embedded in new glass, resulting in defective and unacceptable new glass containers.

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
-- ELBERT HUBBARD
In the early days of his presidency, George W. Bush was judged to be a rather poor speaker. Sometimes it was almost painful to watch his bungled attempts to get his message across in his prepared speeches. Something happened along the way that improved his ability to speak more effectively. His aides hired some of the top speech-writers in the business. But in addition to better speech material, there was something else. He learned to speak with greater clarity and impact by using pauses, even if they were used too often at times. The change was significant and approval ratings for his speech delivery rose.
Pausing gives a person time to think, to keep control of the content, and it gives the audience a chance to relate to what's being said. You can become a better speaker simply by pausing for a second or two at various intervals during your delivery.
It is during the silences that your listeners will have the chance to reflect on what you say. They are able to picture in their minds what you are talking about. They have the opportunity to weigh your meaning, to connect and respond to your feelings.
In addition, pauses allow listeners to have an inner dialogue with you. They actually talk in their heads expressing their inner thoughts. As a listener, haven't you often found yourself saying things in your head like, "I disagree," or "What a good idea," or "I read something about that," etc.? The more inner dialogue you inspire, the stronger your connection with your listeners will be.
Here is an important secret about the art of speaking well: You can't go wrong with silence. Even if you don't always pick the ideal place for a silence, your listener won't know the difference -- he will be too involved with you and what you are saying. In a conversation, nobody thinks, "Now, wait a minute, that pause was in the wrong place."
Practice pausing at the end of a thought, or just after having made a key point. This technique helps a listener to know where one thought ends and another begins.
Remember to pause especially after you've said something important, complicated, or unusual. Let the listener digest what you've said while giving yourself time to think and to breathe.

According to the usual source, in 1200 England King John granted land Towneley — meaning field belonging to the town — to Roger de Lacy, a Norman landowner and constable of Chester. Roger, in turn, turned a portion over to his son-in-law Geoffrey, Dean of Whalley. By 1236, a grandson of Geoffrey inherited the land, married his cousin the widow Cecilia and recombined the two estates and the gene pool. A Towneley married a Warner and moved to Virginia. Another married a Smith and did the same.

How the body works
The human body is made up of different body systems, each with its own unique and very specific function. All these systems work together and support each other to sustain a healthy body.
These systems include:
- The musculoskeletal system. The skeleton provides the framework for the muscles. The muscles enable the skeleton – and thus the body – to move. The musculosketal system consists of bones, joints and muscles. Muscles are attached to bones by tendons (which act like the cables of a suspension bridge).
- The digestive system. The food (quantity and type) we eat can either contribute to a healthier or unhealthier body. Nutrition is of great importance.
- The cardiovascular system – the heart and blood vessels. Regular exercise can counteract or slow down artherosclerosis, and reduce your risk for heart disease and deep vein thrombosis.
- The nervous system. Exercise can strengthen the muscles and can also help to improve reaction times, and therefore performance.
Your body is more than a bunch of muscles. All systems need to function. Most exercise experts will advise a holistic approach instead of a fragmented approach to exercise – train the whole body, not only one group of muscles. And if you want to focus on a specific area of the body (such as abs, legs or back), add additional muscle-specific exercises to your routine.

Biography of Georges Hayem
Georges Hayem was born in Paris and studied in that city. He became intern in 1862, doctor of medicine in 1868, agrégé and médecin des hôpitaux in 1872. He was professor of therapeutics and materia medica from 1879 and held the chair of clinical medicine from 1893 until his retirement in 1911. He was physician at the Hôpital Tenon 1878-1911, later at Hôpital St.-Antoine.
From 1886 member of the Académie de Médecine. He wrote many concours theses and in 1877 won a prize for his book on muscular atrophies.
Hayem was one of the founders of haematology. He named the haematoblast and the acromacyt, and wrote on digestion, the stomach and cholera and described goat’s milk anaemia in 1889. He also did pioneer work with platelets, introducing the first accurate platelet counts. However, he is most known for his solution used for counting erythrocytes. He also made a classic description of chronic interstitial hepatitis and also described acquires haemolytic jaundice.
He was said to have saved 30% of his patients in the cholera epidemic by giving them an isotonic saline solution to combat the dehydration and was later nicknamed Dr. Cholera. His textbook on haematology in 1900 was widely read.
In 1872 he founded the Revue des sciences médicales en France et à l’étranger.

We explore aspects of an experimental approach to mathematical proof, most notably number crunching, or the verification of subsequent particular cases of universal propositions. Since the rise of the computer age, this technique has indeed conquered practice, although it implies the abandonment of the ideal of absolute certainty. It seems that also in mathematical research, the qualitative criterion of effectiveness, i.e. to reach one’s goals, gets increasingly balanced against the quantitative one of efficiency, i.e. to minimize one’s means/ends ratio. Our story will lead to the consideration of some limit cases, opening up the possibility of proofs of infinite length being surveyed in a finite time. By means of example, this should show that mathematical practice in vital aspects depends upon what the actual world is like.

Lesson 1 (from Prologue and Chapter One: The Accident)
Fate and destiny. Although Don spends a great deal of time wondering why such a thing was allowed to happen to him, the reader may question what Don's life would have been like if the accident had never occurred.
The objective of this lesson is to look at fate and destiny.
1. Class discussion. Let's talk about fate. What does it mean? What is it? Can you think of an example of it in your own life? Do you believe in destiny? Does it affect the way you approach life? Is coincidence a another word for fate? Do you think it was fated that Don have the accident? Was it destiny that brought him back from death?
2. Homework: Have students write about destiny. Have them ask themselves if they ever were in a situation where they thought it was destiny that brought them there. Did they...

Introduction: Paul said, " I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day" (Acts 23: 1). Conscience is simply defined as, "The sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action (RHCD). The conscience is that intangible part of man that can be of great directional help.
I. The conscience must be properly educated or it can be wrong
A. The saying, "let your conscience be your guide is only right if the conscience is properly taught."
A. The savage offering their first born male child to crocodiles in sacrifice to an idol god did so with a good conscience.
B. Paul, during the time period of his statement, "I have lived in all good conscience" was murdering Christians (Saul of Tarsus, Acts 26: 9-12).
a. The word of God must be allowed to educate the conscience (Gal. 2: 14).
II. The answer of a good conscience
A. Baptism, according to the apostle Peter, is the answer of a good conscience toward God (I Pet. 3: 21).
B. Jesus taught baptism is essential to salvation (Mk. 16: 16, Acts 2: 38, 22: 16).
a. Hence, those who have believed, repented, confessed Christ's deity, and been baptized have a good conscience, they have done what the word teaches.
III. The scriptures say a lot regarding the conscience
A. The scriptures are replete with reference to the conscience.
a. There are certain things we are to do "for conscience sake" (Rom. 13: 5).
b. We are to have a "conscience void of offence, toward God and man," (Acts 24: 16).
c.The conscience "bears witness" (Rom. 2: 15).
Conclusion: I shall close with the thought of a "seared conscience." Hear Paul regarding false teachers: "Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron" (I Tim. 4: 2, 1). Most false teachers are not just sincerely teaching false doctrine. Most of them have made a choice; hence, their hypocrisy. The conscience is valuable providing it has been trained and is not seared over.

This paper describes the traditional mycological knowledge of the Nahua of San Isidro Buensuceso, on the slopes of La Malinche Volcano National Park, in the state of Tlaxcala, México. The results described in this paper were obtained through interviews with villagers selected at random; a freelisting technique was used to determine the cultural significance of the mushrooms of the region. A total of 48 species, which had 65 Náhuatl names and 40 in Spanish, were identified. Although San Isidro vilagers consider mushrooms to be a natural resource mainly used for food, they also use them for medicine, insecticides and trade. This paper presents traditional information on the morphology, ecology, fenology and consistency of the mushrooms found around San Isidro. It proposes that, from a cultural perspective, Gomphus flocossus, Ramaria spp. and Boletus spp. are the most important species of the region.

Second law of Thermodynamics
Jan de Koning ([email protected])
Tue, 18 Nov 1997 15:11:22 -0500
>law of thermodynamics came about in order to unify all the irreversible
>phenomena observed in nature. But the question of why there is a law like
>that or how did the universe start is quite a different issue.
Not everyone agrees with this law. I am not a physicist but as far as I
know it only holds for closd sytems. It has not been show to be true for
open systems. See for example Price in Time's Arrow (Oxford, 1996). Page
7 in the Introduction: "Why was entropy low in the past? The chapter (2)
concludes with adiscussionas to what it is that really needs to be
explained about the assymetry of thermodynamics." See page 262 as well,
where chapter two is condensed.

''Kaysersberg is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.
The inhabitants are called Kaysersbergeois. The name means Emperor's Mountain in German.
Kaysersberg is considered one of the most beautiful cities on the wine route. The high fortress that dominates the city serves as a reminder of both its strategic importance and its warlike past. Before World War One, Kaysersberg was part of Germany.
Today, Kaysersberg with its medieval atmosphere is more appropriate as the perfect setting for an Alsatian festival.
Kaysersberg is one of the finest wine growing areas in Alsace. The first vines were brought here in the 16th century from Hungary, and wine production is still an important aspect of the town’s economy today. Wine produced from the Tokay variety is a local specialty.'

Brain Breaks to me are not only necessary for kids, but they are a classroom management strategy in the upper grades. My students actually earn Brain Breaks when they are doing excellent work (every 30-45 minutes). They want an immediate reward that lets them move around and be silly, and I want them to be allowed to have that silly time (at the appropriate time). Here are some Brain Break
Get students up and moving. Refocus them. Encourage them to think in a different way. Reward them for good behavior. Even leave the cards for a substitute as "filler activities". Print and go resource for upper elementary and middle school teachers to use with their students.
Brain Breaks for BIGGER Students - Get Them Moving and Thinking
Yoga can be a great break from the classroom routine or can also be a great way to use your Physical Education time! This product includes 14 posters in color (and black and white), a yoga journal, a book list, and teacher tips for use. Namaste!

Between the years 1400 to 1800 many Europeans thought witches were a serious danger to society. Although, historically and scientifically witches did not really exist, political authorities began to arrest, prosecute and
punish -- or hunt -- people they imagined to be witches. For a general material on the whole issue of the witch hunts, go to the
Witch Hunts main page here, and explore the links. "Ten
Common Errors and Myths about the Witch Hunts" might be particularly
In 1628 the Holy Roman Empire was in a fragile condition. What historians would later call the Thirty Years War had rattled through many territories for ten years already. This conflict was fought concerning how much power the emperor would have over other imperial kings, dukes and counts in addition to the clash between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Many people had died, territories had been devastated by armies, and political systems weakened. Further, bad weather in the 1620s was causing crop failures, famine and plague. Instead of considering natural causes or the mistakes of politicians, people would blame mysterious witches, in league with the Devil, for these misfortunes. Then, especially in the years 1628-1630, a new wave of witch hunts broke out in the Holy Roman Empire, especially in territories ruled by prince-bishops.
Prince-bishops were both prelates of the church and political rulers. As clerics they administered the possessions and clergy of the Roman Catholic Church within their dioceses. But as princes of the empire, they acted like dukes or counts in their control of taxes, armies, and courts within their individual territories. For more on prince-bishops,
These clerical/political leaders of territories like Eichstätt, Bamberg, Würzburg, Mainz, or Cologne harshly hunted witches, often by violating civil rights of the accused. Torture could be carried out on hearsay evidence from as few as two witnesses, and contrary evidence by equally valid eyewitnesses could be ignored. Although
imperial legal codes were supposed to prohibit repeated torture, professors and lawyers argued that further bouts of torture were a mere continuation of the first application. Tortured
victims produced fantastic stories and accusations that fed the frenzy of the
By about 1630 this wave of persecutions petered out. Many critics had raised voices against the entire practice of hunting witches. Friends of the persecuted had appealed to the emperor and institutions of imperial government like the Imperial court in Speyer or the Diet which in turn called for a halt. And many of the biggest foes of witches simply died. Witch hunts throughout the empire would continue to sporadically break out until the witch laws were revoked in the eighteenth century. Authorities legally executed the last witch in the empire, Anna Maria Schwägelin, in 1775.

Other online simulations of witch hunts:
Di Stefano Productions, "You are accused," http://distefano.com/witch/Trial.htm
[which seems to be dead, try the Internet Archive between 2000 and 2004], sets up a dichotomy of resistance or silence. It has a few good
contemporary graphics and citations of laws, but is otherwise somewhat
National Geographic Society, "Salem: Witchcraft Hysteria," http://www.nationalgeographic.com/features/97/salem/,
is graphically beautiful and sophisticated as it conveys an atmosphere of
mystery and fear of that 1692 hunt.
Nix, Dietmar. "A Trial: YOU are the accused!," http://histor.ws/hexen/eng/e-proz.htm,
is rather strident in tone, but usefully detailed about some contemporary
sources and legal arguments of Germany in the 1630s. The picture archive
on the larger site is particularly extensive and interesting.
AZfunnypictures.com, "Witch Hunt," http://www.azfunnypictures.com/witches.html,
is not really a simulation, but a cute arcade-style game, if you want a laugh.

Description: Scab first appears on the bottom and later
on the side of the fruit. Infected fruit often become
misshapen. Scab spores develop during the winter, in
infected leaves on the ground. Infection begins at the
green-tip stage of flower bud development. Infection
is highest when blossoms are open, but continues for
about 6-9 weeks.
Soap-Shield® Fungicidal Soap
when disease first appears, and repeat at 7-10 day intervals
for as long as needed. For optimum control, begin spraying
at the green-tip stage of bud development. Repeat at
7-10 day intervals for as long as needed. To reduce
disease, remove leaf debris and infected fruit in the
fall. Most infected pears can still be eaten if the
scabby area is removed.

Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations. 1989.
Calvin Coolidge (18721933)
Nothing in the World can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Attributed to CALVIN COOLIDGE. Unverified, though this appeared on the cover of the program of a memorial service for him in 1933. The Forbes Library, Northampton, Massachusetts, has searched its Coolidge collection many times for this.

/c - Compile Without Linking (Windows CE 5.0)
This option instructs the compiler to compile all C source files typed on the command line. The compiler creates object files only, but does not pass object files to the linker. The compiler does not produce an executable file or DLL.
The following code example compiles First.c, creating the object file First.obj, and then compiles Second.c, creating the object file Second.obj. The compiler does not perform processing with Third.obj, because the compiler stops the build process after compilation and before linking.

Malaria is one of the major causes of death amongst infants. Malaria affects children more since they have weaker immune system as they are still undergoing growth and development. It is a parasitic disease caused from a bite by a carrier mosquito. Not all mosquitoes are carriers of plasmodium which causes malaria. It is the female anopheles mosquito that transmits malaria.
This killer disease is mostly common in warm areas. This is because mosquitoes bleed more in such areas as climate is favorable for them to bleed and survive. Thus children are more prone to malaria infection is such areas. Adults are no always spared on that there are fewer cases of adults having malaria infection.
Malaria has various symptoms that one can easily detect. Most parents confuse these symptoms and take them for fever or flue. This is because they share same symptoms. One should always seek medication from a professional doctor before taking on the over the counter drugs. Malaria symptoms take within one week or two to show after infection. Some of the notable symptoms include:

Summary about Sudan
Sudan is the largest county in Africa continent and capital is Khartoum, population is 42 million people, where 52% are black African, which are indigenous; 39% are Arab, who are Muslims. In ancient times North Sudan was Kingdom of Nubia and was controlled by Egypt. In 6th century European crusaders established catholic churches in territory of Sudan. So already by that time in territory of Sudan were two religions – Islamic and Catholic.
In 1882 Britain had colonized Egypt, so also Sudan was influenced, started Anglo – Egyptian period in Sudan’s history. …

The gap between rich and poor countries has grown exponentially since the days of Adam Smith. In the 1770s, rich countries were twice as well-off as poor countries. These days, GDP per capita is 35 times higher in rich countries than in poor. In this 3 ½ minute video, economist B. Ravikumar explains how he and other economists are looking at these cross-country income differences.

1. With the words: judo and track and field, can I use the verb "practice". I know that for sports, we use play.
2. "I live far from school." / "I live far from the school". Can I use both???
3. When I'm talking about physical activities, I will say: do exercise/take exercise (according to a dictionary - Uncountable). If I want to say "do exercises" with the meaning of physical activity, will it be wrong??? Because in the same dictionary I saw that "exercise" is Countable.

FWL: 6.5-11.0 mm
Forewings are gray with silvery striations. The ocellus is dark purplish brown and is edged with metallic gold or copper scales. Hindwings are grayish brown and males have a fold along the base of the cubital vein that contains a hair pencil with long black sex scales. Male genitalia are characterized by a ventrally projecting spur at the base of the cucullus. Female genitalia are characterized by a short sclerotized ductus bursae.
Adults may appear similar to dark individuals of Cydia splendana. Cydia pomonella can be separated from C. splendana by the metallic scales surrounding the ocellus and the hair pencil on the male hindwing. A genitalic dissection can be used to confirm identity.
For information on the larva of Cydia pomonella, please consult the fact sheet and keys on LepIntercept - An identification resource for intercepted Lepidoptera larvae.
Cydia pomonella completes 2-4 generations per year. In North America, adults are present in many locations from April through September.
Females lay eggs singly on fruits, stems, or leaves of the host. Larvae tunnel into fruit to feed on the seeds. Larval damage to fruit is characterized by entry and exit holes, rot that surrounds larval feeding areas, and frass accumulation. Mature larvae exit the fruit and create a cocoon under tree bark or in leaf litter; overwintering occurs as a prepupa.
Cydia pomonella is the most widely distributed and important pest of apple, pear, and walnuts in the world. Other larval hosts include almond, apricot, fig, macadamia, nectarine, peach, plum, prune, and quince. Wearing et al. 2001 provide evidence that sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is not a larval host.
Larvae were intercepted on Citrus in 2009, confirming Rutaceae as a larval host.

Environmental Action Plan 2009–2012
Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Council of Ministers Secretariat2008 (English)Other (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
A large number of environmental challenges exist that must be faced in cooperation – at national, regional and global levels. These challenges are primarily climate change, the use and discharge of hazardous chemicals, protection of marine ecosystems and protection and utilisation of biological diversity. The cooperation between the Nordic countries needs to be enhanced to optimise the util-isation of available resources and find joint solutions in the Nordic region. The Nordic countries have an ambition of making the Nordic region a pioneer region in the environmental area and sharing their experience with others. The awareness of our consumption and production patterns being decisive to the condition of the environment means that the economy and the environment must be considered together.

Electrical cardioversion is a procedure that uses an electric
current to stop the heart momentarily. This helps the heart have a normal
rhythm when it resumes beating.
Usually a person is given a sedative before the procedure. Then patches are placed on the person's chest. The patches send an electrical current to the heart. An external defibrillator, which has paddles, might be used in some situations. Doctors are prepared to help
maintain a person's circulation during the procedure with medicines and other
Cardioversion may be used to help the heart return to a normal
rhythm after medicines have failed to do so. The procedure also may be done
in emergency situations. For example, it may be done to correct a fast heart rhythm that is causing
low blood pressure, chest pain, or heart failure.

A series of shark attacks is forcing Google to reinforce its underwater, fiber optic cables with a Kevlar-like casing.
The cables carry Internet data across the globe at one gigabyte per second. Each cable already has a series of layers to protect against impact and movement that could break the glass fibers inside. However, sharks are biting into the cables.
The magnetic field created by the high voltage in the cables resembles that of a moving fish.

Argument was the basis of Renaissance education; both rhetoric and
dialectic permeated early modern humanist culture, including drama.
This study approaches Shakespeare's history plays by analyzing the use
of argument in the plays and examining the importance of argument in
Renaissance culture. Knowles shows how analysis of arguments of speech
and action take us to the core of the plays, in which Shakespeare
interrogates the nature of political morality and truth as grounded in
the history of what men do and say.

We propose a novel display-based game environment using augmented reality technology with small robots. In this environment, the small robots can be augmented by a display image according to their positions and postures. The augmentation activity reinforces the fun of playing with such small robots in the real world.
This paper proposes a novel 'Visuo-Haptic Display' using a Head-Mounted Projector (HMP) with X'tal Vision optics. Our goal is to develop the device which enables an observer to touch a virtual object just as it is seen. We describe the detail design of an HMP with X'tal Vision, which is very suitable for Augmented Reality. For instance, the HMP makes… (More)
RobotPHONE is a Robotic User Interface (RUI) that uses robots as physical avatars for interpersonal communication. Using RobotPHONE, users in remote locations can communicate shapes and motion with each other. In this paper we present the concept of RobotPHONE, and describe implementations of two prototypes.
A new type of Haptic AR system, SmartTouch, is introduced. SmartTouch is composed of a thin electro-tactile display and a sensor mounted on the skin. The sensed information is converted to tactile sensation through electrical stimulation. Thus, the wearer not only makes physical contact with an object, but also can " touch " surface information of any… (More)
Numerous robots have been developed, and some of them are already being used in homes, institutions, and workplaces. Despite the development of useful robot functions, the focus so far has not been on user interfaces of robots. General users of robots find it hard to understand what the robots are doing and what kind of work they can do. This paper presents… (More)
A laser pointer can be a powerful tool for robot control. However, in the past, their use in the field of robotics has been limited to simple target designation, without exploring their potential as versatile input devices. This paper proposes to create a laser pointer-based user interface for giving various instructions to a robot by applying stroke… (More)
We propose a cooking system that operates in an open environment. The system cooks a meal by pouring various ingredients into a boiling pot on an induction heating cooker and adjusts the heating strength according to the user's instructions. We then describe how the system incorporates robotic- and human-specific elements in a shared workspace so as to… (More)
We must give some form of a command to robots in order to have the robots do a complex task. An initial instruction is required even if they do their tasks autonomously. We therefore need interfaces for the operation and teaching of robots. Natural languages, joysticks, and other pointing devices are currently used for this purpose. These interfaces,… (More)
An electrocutaneous display system composed of three layers is implemented for augmentation of skin sensation. The first layer has electrodes on the front side of a thin plate, the second has optical sensors on the reverse side of the plate, and the third is a thin film force sensor between the other two layers. Visual images captured by the sensor are… (More)

The Underground Railroad
(knocking on a door)
Do you have something for me?
Yes. This message just arrived for you today.
Many Iowans, called Abolitionists, opposed slavery all together. The Government didn’t seem to be taking any action so many Abolitionists felt that they had to take the law into their own hands.
Concerning our conversation of the last… by tomorrow evening’s mail you will receive two volumes of the irrepressible conflict bound in black. After perusal, please forward and oblige.
A shipment on the Underground Railroad. It wasn’t a railroad at all, but a secret route over which escaping slaves make their way to freedom. Conductors on the railroad were Abolitionists sympathizers. Helping slaves escape was a violation to the Fugitive Slave Act. If caught, conductors were subjected to fines or jail sentences. But most important, the fugitive slaves would be returned to their owners and were apt to suffer severe punishment for trying to escape.
Mom? Why we got to be down here?
Boy, you ask too many questions! Now just be quiet!

Forensic linguists use what they know about speech and writing to testify in courtrooms. And get out your hankies! Martha and Grant are talking about the language of … sneezing. And what do you call it when you clean the house in a hurry because company’s coming? How about making lasagna or shame cleaning? Plus who’s a hoopie, down goes your shanty, hold on to your blueberry money, and gym slang fit for a cardio queen.
This episode first aired October 13, 2012.
A Sneeze that Won’t Come
Having trouble sneezing? You may be suffering from arrested sternutation, also known as a sneeze freeze!
Is it still cleaning if you just throw things in a closet? Terms for this practice include making a lasagna, shame cleaning, or stuffing the comedy closet. Just be careful not to end up with a Fibber McGee catastrophe.
Muse and Amused
Is there a connection between the ancient Greek muse and the word amused? No. The muses were mythological figures who inspired the likes of Homer, while amuse comes from the Latin word for “staring stupidly,” as in, “to be distracted by mindless entertainment.”
Photic Sneeze Reflex
Why do we sneeze when we go from a dark theater to the bright outdoors? The photic sneeze reflex is a genetic trait many of us have, as part of the Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helo-Ophthalmic Outburst Syndrome, the backronym for ACHOO!
Know Here from Siccum
You don’t know siccum, meaning “you don’t know anything,” is an idiom common in the American Northwest. It’s a shortened form of he doesn’t know come here from sic ’em, as in a dog that doesn’t know how to obey commands.
Blank Tiles Word Game
Our Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a game for all of us who fancy the blank tiles in Words With Friends. Given a word and two blank tiles, place one on either end to form a new word. For example, at least two new words can be made by adding a letter to either end of the word eight.
If someone’s a hoopie, it means they’re less than sophisticated. This term was used in the Ohio River Valley to refer to the bumpkins from West Virginia who performed menial work with barrels, hammering their hoops into place.
How to Address the President
How should news organizations refer to elected officials, past and present? There’s not much consensus among print and broadcast companies, but most organizations have their own set of rules. For example, NPR’s policy is to refer to the current president as President Barack Obama the first time he’s mentioned in a news story, and thereafter as Mr. Obama.
What kind of slang will you find at the gym? The old standby, jacked, meaning “muscular,” may derive from the lifting motion of a car jack. January joiners are those well-meaning souls who make new year’s resolutions to get in shape, and stop showing up a week later. Cardio queens are the ladies in fancy sweatsuits taking a leisurely stroll on the treadmill while reading a magazine.
What’s it called when a fit of sneezing takes hold? Try ptarmosis, from the Greek ptarmos for “sneeze.” Or sternutamentum, meaning rapid, spasmodic sneezing.
Forensic linguistics, the subject of a recent New Yorker piece by Jack Hitt (in full here, is a useful tool in the courtroom. Linguists like Roger Shuy, who’s written a handful of books on the subject, have managed to solve criminal cases by identifying personal and regional distinctions in a suspect’s language. Though far from a silver bullet, the practice seems to have a solid place in the future of law enforcement.
If someone still has their blueberry money, chances are they’re a bit stingy. This term from the American Northeast refers to those who’ve held onto the change they made picking and selling blueberries as a kid.
Down Goes Your Shanty
What’s the origin of the warning phrase down goes your shanty!? This bit of menacing slang pops up in letters written by Civil War soldiers. One wrote, “If I ever get a chance to draw sight on a rebel, down goes his shanty.” It has a similar meaning to a phrase heard in Oklahoma: down goes your meat house!
Why do people use the phrase going forward/a> when talking about the future? Although it sometimes carries legitimate meaning, the expression is often just a pleonastic bit of business jargon that ends up on plenty of lists of people’s pet peeves.
Flyer vs. Flier
Is the synonym for pamphlet spelled flyer or flier? Both. In the UK, it’s more often flyer, and in the US, flier is preferred.

Miguel I (1802-66), King of Portugal (1828-34). A son of João VI, Miguel revolted against his father, who exiled him to Vienna. After the death of João VI, the heir-apparent Pedro remained in Brazil, where he had become Emperor. Pedro abdicated the portuguese throne in favour of his daughter Maria regent of Portugal, but Miguel deposed her in 1828, with the support of the British Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington. In 1831 Pedro abdicated the Brazilian throne and led an invasion of Portugal, beginning a three-year civil war which ended with Miguel abdicating. He spent the rest of his life in exile in Italy, England and Germany. From a series of portraits by lithographer Antoine Maurin dit l'aîné (1793 - 1860).
For Maria II, see ref. 34516; for Pedro, see 34519; for a British satire criticizing Wellington's stance towards Miguel, see ref. 30580.

||It has been suggested that this article be merged with HTTP cookie. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2016.|
A magic cookie, or just cookie for short, is a token or short packet of data passed between communicating programs, where the data is typically not meaningful to the recipient program. The contents are opaque and not usually interpreted until the recipient passes the cookie data back to the sender or perhaps another program at a later time. The cookie is often used like a ticket – to identify a particular event or transaction.
In some cases, recipient programs are able to meaningfully compare two cookies for equality.
Cookie as token
An analogy is the token supplied at a coat check (cloakroom) counter in real life. The token has no intrinsic meaning, but its uniqueness allows it to be exchanged for the correct coat when returned to the coat check counter. The coat check token is opaque because the way in which the counter staff are able to find the correct coat when the token is presented is immaterial to the person who wishes their coat returned. In other cases (as is possible with HTTP cookies), the actual data of interest can be stored as name–value pairs directly on the cookie.
Cookies are used as identifying tokens in many computer applications. When one visits a website, the remote server may leave an HTTP cookie on one's computer, where they are often used to authenticate identity upon returning to the website.

This attractive surgical text is "dedicated to all students of surgery," which would include medical students, residents, and practicing surgeons. It presents its subject well in 1,338 pages divided into two broad categories, "Basic and Support Considerations" and "Specific Organs and Organ Systems." These are further divided into 48 sections. It is unusually complete, precise, and clinically relevant.
In planning, the book chapter assignments were carefully outlined by the editorial staff to avoid omissions of pertinent material and duplication. This has succeeded admirably. Avoiding extensive discussion of conflicting theories and simply acknowledging the fact where indicated enhances the "book plan" of presenting material as precisely as possible. In keeping with this theme the references are kept to a minimum and limited to ones that are thought to afford access to further information in the referenced field. A pleasant surprise in leafing through the book was in its remarkably up-to-date material
Abel WG. Hardy's Textbook of Surgery. JAMA. 1984;252(1):105-106. doi:10.1001/jama.1984.03350010065033

This form calculates spacing for mixed plantings, based on pure stand spacing recommendations and the ratio of crops in a mixture. Mixtures spaced according to its recommendations use the same amount of land per plant as segregated pure stands, allowing a meaningful comparison of the land-use efficiency of mixtures and pure stands. The theory behind the calculator is discussed in more detail here.
Using the spacing calculator
- Fill in standard spacing recommendations for up to four crops. The units (inches, centimeters, feet etc.) must be the same for each crop; calculated values will use the same units. The default values are spacings for corn and beet, in inches, from How to Grow More Vegetables (Jeavons 2006). Pure stands of corn and beets are shown in Figure 5A, spaced according to these recommendations.
- Fill in the ratio in which those crops will be planted in the mixture. The default ratio is one corn plant for every three beets (1:3), illustrated in Figure 5B.
- Click on the button labeled 'Calculate mixture spacing.'
|Figure 5A. A square meter of corn (white circles, left) and beets (black diamonds, right), planted in monocultures using the hexagonal spacings recommended in How to Grow More Vegetables... (Jeavons 2006).|
|Figure 5B. A square meter of corn and beets, grown in mixtures with corn:beet ratios of 1:3 (left), 1:8 (center), and 1:15 (right) using plant spacings calculated by the spacing calculator. The space between corn plants is the calculated 'clump spacing' value -- the distance between repitions of the planting pattern.|
The calculator performs two calculations:
- Plant spacing for evenly spaced mixtures.
This is the distance between plants in a mixture, assuming regular spacing between all plants. In the default example, illustrated on the left of Figure 5B, all plants are 8.3" apart. In order for all crops to be evenly spaced, the sum of the ratio components should be a perfect square. Examples of evenly spaced two-crop mixture ratios are 1:3, 1:8, and 1:15, which add up to 4, 9 and 16, respectively (Figure 5B). Examples of evenly spaced three and four-crop mixture ratios are 1:2:6 and 1:3:6:6, which add up to 9 and 16, respectively.
- Clump spacing for clumped mixtures.
It is not necessary to have an evenly-spaced planting arrangement to use the spacing calculator. A simpler method is to arrange crops in evenly spaced clusters, and use the spacing calculator to calculate the distance between clusters. For example, a gardener who desires a 1:1 ratio of corn:bean plants would use the 'clump spacing' value to space her corn, then plant a bean next to each corn plant. If corn and beans are spaced 15" and 6" apart in monoculture, then each corn-bean pair would be 16" apart in the mixture.
A more complex clumped mixture is a native American 'Three sisters' planting, featuring mounds of corn and bean clusters between squash plants. A common crop ratio for a 'Three sisters' planting is 4:4:1 corn:bean:squash. The 'clump spacing' value recommends that mounds be spaced 36" apart if the pure stand spacings of corn, bean and squash are 15", 6", and 18", respectively.

I have received this plant from a friend, I wonder what it is, can you help?
Your plant is called an Ornamental Sweet Potato Plant (Ipomoea butatas).
Here are some care tips.
Light: Medium to bright lightVery few houseplants should be placed in direct sun. High light refers only to bright indirect light since direct sun often burns the leaves of indoor houseplants. An area that is too hot and dry encourages Spider Mites and causes blooms to quickly fade. A northern exposure really doesn't provide enough light for high light plants. These plants need to be placed directly in front of an east-facing window, within 1-3 feet of a west-facing window, and within 5 ft. of a south facing window. A high light area has over 300 ft. candles of light., can even tolerate some direct sun without the leaves burning.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. This plant dries out faster than most indoor houseplants. Be sure there are drip holes in the bottom of your container to prevent over-watering and root rot.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity
fertilizerPlants need fertilizer only when they are actively growing. Slow growing plants in low light require very little plant food. Too much fertilizer is worse than not enough. Most plants prefer a water soluble plant food at 1/2 the recommended strength. Plants that are in bloom or dormant should not be fertilized. Houseplant food contains nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). A fertilizer containing these elements in equal proportion is considered a balanced plant food. Nitrogen helps in photosynthesis and encourages the growth of leaves and stems. Potassium and phosphorus also help in photosynthesis and aid in root and flower development. Most fertilizers have trace elements of other minerals that are lacking in the soil but are necessary for good plant growth. Fertilizers have a high salt content. If a plant is not producing new leaves and doesn’t absorb the fertilizer, salts build up in the soil. These salts can burn the roots, discolor the leaves, and cause new growth to be small.: Feed monthly in the Spring & Summer when the plant is actively growing with a balanced plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength.
Temperature: Basic household temperatures. Can be moved outside once all danger of frost has passed.
Pruning: Cut off long bare stems to keep the plant full.

1. Is it true you can only plant natives in fall? In most areas of California you can plant all year. A native plant is no different than a non-native plant in limited planting schedules. You can't plant through five feet of snow in the Sierras, nor is it a good idea to plant in Barstow in July (we've done both with little problems, but it's nicer to plant in January in Barstow and May in the Sierras). See 'when to plant' for more information.
2."How do I make a grassland?" Grasslands exist only where the soils have high Boron (>2ppm), high Sodium (>300ppm), are seasonally flooded, or are very shallow (less than a foot). If your garden doesn't have one or more of these problems it will make a very poor grassland, but a great weed patch! The labor to make the area a grassland is about one man- hour per square meter per month from December to June. If your yard is 20 feet by 50 feet that comes out to about 700 man hours per year. Herbicides are of limited use because the wildflowers and forbs like Sisyrinchium bellum, Sidalcea spp and Lupinus spp. make up least 50% of the plants present and it is difficult not to kill them along with the weeds. Also see the grassland community page.
3."Can I get a replacement? The squirrels, deer, neighbor dog, 2 year old or other 'wild' animal ate my plant. "
(We usually will give a replacement plant if the plant promptly disappeared, but you will be quizzed.)
If you have a two year old have him/her help you plant the plant
and become part of the garden effort. If you have a puppy that has
eaten every shoe and piece of furniture in the house, either wait a
year to plant, or cage the plant. If the place you're planting has a
squirrel/gopher hole every three inches, kill or trap the rodents out
before you plant. Rodents don't usually bother natives, but if your
plant is the only living thing for hundreds of feet it will be
'sampled'. For dealing with deer see the deer page.
Occasionally we get someone who just tries to scam the system, but
it's surprisingly low.
4. "Should I amend the planting hole or add mycorrhizal inoculum to the soil?
DO NOT AMEND the soil. If you don't know what mycorrhiza is, don't worry about it. If you do, don't buy this 'snake oil'. Save your money. Mycorrhiza is already in your soil or the soil on the plant you're planting. Mycorrhiza inoculum is great for strawberry fields, acid mine tailings and other sterile sites, not for a native system or your yard. If you design and plant your garden or restoration right, the mycorrhiza will be there.
kind of mulch should I use?"
Most plants thrive with shredded redwood bark, oak leaves and twigs or any debris that fell off your plant, or tree chippings. Desert plants don't want mulch but a few rocks seem to help them out. Bad mulches for natives include: grass clippings, straw, manure, gravel, black plastic sheets or other synthetic mulches (these things literally cook the soil. really bad!!!), compost, Eucalyptus or walnut chippings, bark nuggets, newspaper, this list goes on endlessly. We are amazed at what people come up with. Just remember, mulch should retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, add nutrition to the soil as they break down, provide habitat for good soil organisms, prevent soil erosion on new plantings or slopes. See the planting guide for more details.
6. "Should I wash the roots off with soapy water?"
My goodness, NO! (This response has been heavily edited to protect any sensitive ears) This question is extremely weird to us, but we keep getting asked it. (Do not be surprised if we look for an antenna growing out of your left ear if you ask it!) There's a microecosystem on each root ball that we work very hard to make happy so the plant can live in your garden for decades. Ripping the soil up and working to remove that system usually kills the plant, or at least stunts it. Most natives don't want their root disturbed.
7. "How do you or I know what plant community my garden is
supposed to be in?"
We've tried to develop a model of California before the first trappers showed up and track where the plant communities were. We have given you access to that information on the zip codes page and on mynativeplants.com
8. "How should I water?" Do not use drip irrigation. Water with a hose or overhead sprinkler for at least the first watering. The first watering is generally 50% of the water for the life of the plant. Second watering is 25%, third 12% and so on. Water about 30-50 gallons/plant with the first watering if you're planting spring, summer or fall. In normal winters watering is much more optional and varies by year and location. See the watering page.
9. "What does "Las Pilitas" mean? The best answer we've heard is a variation of the 'water hole' or 'water trough'. The Las Pilitas Creek has has some areas where it runs over solid rock and makes these clean little puddles of water.
11. "What can I plant under my oak tree?" Plant things that don't need water and like deep leaf litter! Watering puts a lot of stress on your oak tree and may eventually kill it. And all those leaves are very important for your oak tree. See how to take care of your mature (elderly, over the hill) oak tree. Some common plants that occur under coast live oaks naturally are, Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum, R. malvaceum, R. indecorum, R.viburnifolium, Rhamnus californica, Salvia spathacea, Lonicera hispidula, Holodiscus discolor, Keckiella breviflora, Satureja douglasii, Symphoricarpos mollis, Stachys ajugoides and Solanum xanti. If the shade is light some of the medium -sized Ceanothus and Arctostaphylos work well along with the Diplacus species. For more shade plants, see the shade garden page just remember to use the ones that don't need water.
12. "How did you get started and what are your qualifications?" Celeste has a M.S. in Biological Sciences, Bert has a B.S. in Chemistry with two years graduate work in Chemistry and was a California licensed Landscape Contractor for 35 years doing Native Landscapes. Penny has a B.S. in Biological Sciences. Ian has a degree in Math. We started the nursery 40 years ago when we were still in college.Regina Dugan, “If you don't already have a nerd in your life, you should get one.”

I am picturing an inclined plane, sloping downward to the right. I am choosing a +x direction down the slope and a +y direction (which isn't actually needed here) perpendicular to and coming out of the plane. I'm going to call the angle of incline measured between the horizontal and the incline of the plane.
Stick an object of mass m on the plane and assume no friction. The object will begin to slide down the plane. Do a Free-Body Diagram. You'll have a normal force (N) in the +y direction, and a weight (w) straight down.
We need to break w into components in the x and y directions. (Specifically all we care about here is the component in the x direction.)
<-- Make sure you understand why this is sine and not cosine!
Since w = mg: .

1. After they had subdued the land, the whole community of the Israelites assembled at Shiloh, where they set up the meeting tent.
2. Seven tribes among the Israelites had not yet received their heritage.
3. Joshua therefore said to the Israelites, "How much longer will you put off taking steps to possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4. Choose three men from each of your tribes; I will commission them to begin a survey of the land, which they shall describe for purposes of inheritance. When they return to me
5. you shall divide it into seven parts. Judah is to retain its territory in the south, and the house of Joseph its territory in the north.
6. You shall bring here to me the description of the land in seven sections. I will then cast lots for you here before the LORD, our God.
7. For the Levites have no share among you, because the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage; while Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received the heritage east of the Jordan which Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave them."
8. When those who were to map out the land were ready for the journey, Joshua instructed them to survey the land, prepare a description of it, and return to him; then he would cast lots for them there before the LORD in Shiloh.
9. So they went through the land, listed its cities in writing in seven sections, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.
10. Joshua then divided up the land for the Israelites into their separate shares, casting lots for them before the LORD in Shiloh.
11. One lot fell to the clans of the tribe of Benjaminites. The territory allotted them lay between the descendants of Judah and those of Joseph.
12. Their northern boundary began at the Jordan and went over the northern flank of Jericho, up westward into the mountains, till it reached the desert of Beth-aven.
13. From there it crossed over to the southern flank of Luz (that is, Bethel). Then it ran down to Ataroth-addar, on the mountaintop south of Lower Beth-horon.
14. For the western border, the boundary line swung south from the mountaintop opposite Bethhoron till it reached Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), which city belonged to the Judahites. This was the western boundary.
15. The southern boundary began at the limits of Kiriath-jearim and projected to the spring at Nephtoah.
16. It went down to the edge of the mountain on the north of the Valley of Rephaim, where it faces the Valley of Ben-hinnom; and continuing down the Valley of Hinnom along the southern flank of the Jebusites, reached En-rogel.
17. Inclining to the north, it extended to En-shemesh, and thence to Geliloth, opposite the pass of Adummim. Then it dropped to Eben-Bohan-ben-Reuben,
18. across the northern flank of the Arabah overlook, down into the Aarabah.
19. From there the boundary continued across the northern flank of Beth-hoglah and extended to the northern tip of the Salt Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.
20. The Jordan bounded it on the east. This was how the heritage of the clans of the Benjaminites was bounded on all sides.
21. Now the cities belonging to the clans of the tribe of the Benjaminites were: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
22. Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
23. Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
24. Chephar-ammoni, Ophni and Geba; twelve cities and their villages.
25. Also Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
26. Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,
27. Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
28. Zela, Haeleph, the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah and Kiriath; fourteen cities and their villages. This was the heritage of the clans of Benjaminites.

Advert For Freeman's Pudding Powder reverse
Medium: Print on paper
This is the reverse of the leaflet.
Pudding was a very important part of the meal in the Victorian era. The lower classes did not eat pudding very often and it was seen as a frivolous luxury that few could afford. Desserts such as cakes, plum puddings, trifles and jellies were very popular with the middle classes, as can be seen from the spread on the table. Because only milk and sugar needed to be added to the powder it was a very quick to make, was cheap and very easy, the advertisement even states 'A child can make them'.

Wikipedia defines a proverb as a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity. Usually passed down from generation to the next, an animal proverb demonstrates that basic human observations never really change. Most proverbs use animals to compare their behavior or likeness to a person.
Second son compiled a few of these amusing proverbs with photos and his own interpretation.

Small RNAs in Bacteria and Archaea: Who They Are, What They Do, and How They Do It
2015 (English)In: Advances in Genetics, Vol 90, Elsevier, 2015, 133-208 p.Chapter in book (Refereed)Text
Small RNAs are ubiquitously present regulators in all kingdoms of life. Most bacterial and archaeal small RNAs (sRNAs) act by antisense mechanisms on multiple target mRNAs, thereby globally affecting essentially any conceivable traitestress responses, adaptive metabolic changes, virulence etc. The sRNAs display many distinct mechanisms of action, most of them through effects on target mRNA translation and/or stability, and helper proteins like Hfq often play key roles. Recent data highlight the interplay between posttranscriptional control by sRNAs and transcription factor-mediated transcriptional control, and cross talk through mutual regulation of regulators. Based on the properties that distinguish sRNA-type from transcription factors-type control, we begin to glimpse why sRNAs have evolved as a second, essential layer of gene regulation. This review will discuss the prevalence of sRNAs, who they are, what biological roles they play, and how they carry out their functions.

Objective: Author's Note: The title of a book or play can suggest many things about the content. The objective of this lesson is for the students to analyze and evaluate the title of the play in order to develop some prior knowledge before they begin reading.
1) 1.) The class will begin with a brainstorming activity. The title, "Death and the King's Horseman" will appear on the board at the front of the class. The students will be told that this is the title of the play they are about to read. The students should shout out any ideas they have about the title that appears before them.
2.) The students should then engage in a think-pair-share activity with their neighbor. What do you believe to be the significance of the title before reading the actual play? Does the title seem foreboding?
3.) The students will then independently write an essay...

We use language every day to communicate with each other. But we rarely stop and consider the impact of our words. How can language improve sleep? Let’s explore that together.
When do I have to get up?
How often do you say this phrase? Maybe you wonder when you need to get up. Either way, you’re exhibiting a certain attitude toward sleep.
Using words like “need” or “have to” or “must” implies that getting up is some horrid obligation we have to do. In fact, many of us actually feel that way in the morning.
But what if you altered your language slightly? When do I GET to get up? That may sound crazy, but it’s not. You’re embracing a different attitude about waking up.
I must get some sleep
Similarly, we use “duty” language about going to bed. Sometimes it’s tough to put down work and get some sleep, but it’s important to do so.
What if you looked at bed time in a positive light? I want to go to sleep. That’s another subtle shift, but it can also invoke a different state of mind.
These are just two simple ways to change your sleep language. In doing so, you should be empowered. There’s no excuse to keep yourself at the mercy of the Sand Man.
Take control of your language. Take control of your sleep.
What do you think?
I’m curious what you guys think of this. Have I gone off the deep end? Does any of this resonate with you? Let’s share in the comments!

Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency of buildings and their consumption of energy, water, and materials. Eco-building reduces construction damages to human health and the environment, without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.
Sustainable building does not require extensive resources. Natural building uses abundant, available, renewable, reused or recycled materials.
1. ‘Recycle’ existing old buildings rather than building new ones on more land.
2. Use materials that have a lower ‘embodied energy’ – i.e. use less energy in their production. For example, unfired bricks have lower embodied energy than fired bricks do.
3. Design the building with ‘passive solar’ features to keep it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. In houses and offices this will reduce or eliminate the need for air-conditioners.
4. Maximise natural lighting – this saves electricity (see video below).
5. Use renewable energy where financially feasible. For houses, a solar water heater is cost-effective and saves a substantial amount of cumulative electricity.
6. Choose local materials where feasible, in order to reduce transport environmental impacts.
7. Promote a healthy natural environment around and in the building, for example, by keeping paved surfaces to a minimum.
8. Ideally, choose a site that will minimise occupant travelling distances.
Source: Sustainable Projects
Sustainable building (see a related post) can be divided into two categories: building from scratch or ‘greening’ an existing building. It is not necessarily difficult (or expensive) to green an old building. Green building design is diverse and borrows from modern and ancient technology and ideas. In the case of rebuilding a dilapidated house or damaged building, substantial energy savings can be made by recycling building materials and making use of existing walls and foundations. As an example, even extensively fire-damaged buildings can be rebuilt. My grandparents’ 50-year old farmhouse near White River was virtually destroyed by a veldfire but most foundations and many steel window frames were reused when the house was rebuilt; it’ll probably last another 50 years. Greening a building can be done in stages according to financial and other considerations. Where water conservation is concerned, Water Rhapsody can offer simple water-saving toilet flush systems to more advanced grey water– and rainwater systems.

How would I go about learning how to code something like this:
I'd like to write a program, that when I run it, it opens up a website such as deviantart.com/username. locates the image on that page and downloads it to desktop. Basically c++ code that manipulates the computer as if someone is there, but without someone there. Is that possible? or do I need another language.
yea, the browser part isn't necessary. This seems kind of out of my skill level. but I'm guessing it might be better to look in to more web based languages to learn this.
thanks for the responses though.

The Youngest Navigator is based on a chapter from the Portuguese Chronicles telling of a voyage in 1446 down the coast of Africa. Prince Henry the Navigator is seeking a way around Africa, and sends Nuno Tristam in a caravel to make contact with the people of Guinea. They anchor in the Gambia River so the officers and crew can go up the river in longboats. Hostile natives attack them with poisoned arrows. Only the four teen-age boys left on the ship survive. Airas Tinoco, who has shadowed the navgiator on the southbound voyage, takes charge of the return voyage. To avoid sand bars and shoals along the coast, they must sail far out to sea against the prevailing winds. After two long months at sea, his companions think Airas has gotten them completely lost. Will they ever see Portugal again?

|Multiples of bytes|
|Orders of magnitude of data|
The tebibyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. It is a member of the set of units with binary prefixes defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its unit symbol is TiB.
The prefix tebi (symbol Ti) represents multiplication by 10244, therefore:
The tebibyte is closely related to the terabyte (TB), which is defined as 1012 bytes = 1000000000000bytes. It follows that one tebibyte (1 TiB) is approximately equal to 1.1 TB. In some contexts, the terabyte has been used as a synonym for tebibyte. (see Consumer confusion).

Welcome to the Lower School, where every day provides adventures in learning! In small, academically diverse classes, lower school teachers provide a warm and family-like setting where children feel safe to express themselves. Typically, classes are 10-14 students. Learning opportunities are found in every aspect of the lower school day—in classroom lessons, at recess, at lunch, in PE, and in social interactions. We focus on helping each child become a well-rounded, caring world citizen.
We begin every day with a group meeting. Students and teachers sing
songs, share announcements, and discuss common concerns and current
events. After morning meeting children disperse to self-contained
classrooms where academic classes are taught at various times during the
day. At 11:30 a.m. everyone reconvenes for Lower School lunch. This meal is
served family style with a teacher heading a table of seven or eight
Each student receives instruction daily in Language Arts (reading, creative writing, report writing, and spelling), mathematics, science, and social studies. Physical education and fine arts also are scheduled daily.
Each year during mini-term (the three weeks between Thanksgiving and our winter break) we, as a school, examine a common theme cross-curricularly. Mini-term projects, activities, speakers, and performers bring students of all grade levels together for shared experiences. Past mini-term themes include Japan, Oceans, Medieval Times, Puppetry, Diversity, and The Environment.

Current teacher training in local churches often consists of asking a teacher to read pre-developed curriculum and follow the publishers' instructions. Teachers are not being taught to critically evaluate the materials, and as a result they simply follow the directions provided. The purpose of this project is to train teachers in the local church in basic theology, hermeneutics, and preparing a Bible lesson. As a result, teachers will be trained to study Scripture and evaluate lessons based on Scriptural truth, and to prepare their own lesson plans. Recruiting and retaining teachers will become more effective as a result of providing this training to the teachers.Eerdmansa#39; Handbook to the Bible. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1973.

- The Elk is the second largest member of the deer
family with slender legs, a thick neck and is coloured
brown or tan with darker underparts. The antlers, only
grown by males, are large with many tines, the main
beam up to 150 cm long.
- The Elk occurs in high, open mountain pastures in
summer and lower, wooded slopes or dense woods in the
winter. They are most abundant along the western side
of the rockies but they also can be found near Golden,
Bush River, Forest Lake, Lucerne area, Seebach Creek,
Pear River area, and Tuchodi Lake area.
- This nocturnal creature is primarily a grazer feeding
on woody vegetation and lichen. Once the velvet of his
antlers has been discarded, the bull begins assembling
his harem of up to 60 cows. The gestation period is
255-275 days. The Elk's main predator is the mountain
lion and sometimes bears get the young.
Tracks - The track of an elk is larger and rounder
than that of a deer and somewhat rounder and smaller
than that of a moose. Look for blackened, rough bark
on aspen trees to distinguish the elks habitat.
Straddle: 20 cm (8 in)
Stride: 65 - 70 cm (26 - 28 in)
Track: 10 cm (4 in) long / 7.5 cm (3 in) wide

|Plant growing in an old wall in Thasos, Greece|
Antirrhinum majus (common snapdragon; often - especially in horticulture - simply "snapdragon") is a species of flowering plant belonging to the genus Antirrhinum. It is native to the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal north to southern France, and east to Turkey and Syria. The common name "snapdragon", originates from the flowers' reaction to having their throats squeezed, which causes the "mouth" of the flower to snap open like a dragon's mouth.
It is an herbaceous perennial plant, growing to 0.5–1 m tall, rarely up to 2 m. The leaves are spirally arranged, broadly lanceolate, 1–7 cm long and 2-2.5 cm broad. The flowers are produced on a tall spike, each flower is 3.5-4.5 cm long, zygomorphic, with two 'lips' closing the corolla tube; wild plants have pink to purple flowers, often with yellow lips. The fruit is an ovoid capsule 10–14 mm diameter, containing numerous small seeds. The plants are pollinated by bumblebees, and the flowers close over the insects when they enter and deposit pollen on their bodies.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. majus. Southern France, northeast Spain.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. cirrhigerum (Ficalho) Franco. Southern Portugal, southwest Spain.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. linkianum (Boiss. & Reut.) Rothm. Western Portugal (endemic).
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. litigiosum (Pau) Rothm. Southeastern Spain.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. tortuosum (Bosc) Rouy. Throughout the species' range.
Cultivation and uses
Though perennial, the species is often cultivated as a biennial or annual plant, particularly in colder areas where it may not survive the winter. Numerous cultivars are available, including plants with lavender, orange, pink, yellow, or white flowers, and also plants with peloric flowers, where the normal flowering spike is topped with a single large, symmetrical flower.
The trailing (creeping) variety is often referred to as A. majus pendula (syn. A. pendula, A. repens).
In the laboratory it is a model organism, for example containing the gene DEFICIENS which provides the letter "D" in the acronym MADS-box for a family of genes which are important in plant development.

From the introduction of gunpowder to the reigning era of nuclear weapons, military technological advances have been at the forefront of change. These changes in weaponry have influenced the outcome of many historical events and the downfall or success of major civilizations. All nations have sought to improve military technologies in the hope of gaining the upper hand in conflict. The developments in guns, cannon technology, warships, tanks, and airborne and space weapons, have been crucial in the ever-changing face of war. While it is inherent in human nature to seek better weapons for survival, the use of this weaponry will continue to make an impact on history. Through careful examination of the science and engineering of these weapons, persons can continue to venture into the field of military weaponry with an outlook towards the future. Through the many advancements made in military weaponry, our civilization is one that continues to change in the face of war. Technological advancements made in this area improve upon current war tactics and often are the basis behind military warfare. Technology has proven to transform history, lending itself to be one of the most powerful assets of the human race. Breakthroughs in military technology prove to be at the forefront of war and in many cases the result of war is directly connected through these advancements. In history, major civilizations have seen their rise or downfall through the elevation of weapon technology. Lee delves into the engineering and science behind major weapons such as: guns, cannons, fighter and stealth aircrafts, various types of missiles, attack helicopters, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, main battle tanks and future weapons. He comprises the knowledge behind the weapons along with an understanding of how the weapons are used and applied to modern warfare. By showing how weapons have changed military warfare, he explains the human nature to seek better weapons for survival, protection, and domination of resources.A schematic of the AH-1 is shown in Fig. 3.18.
