Fisher's exact test of 3x3 contingency tables permits calculation of precise probabilities in situation where, as a consequence of small cell frequencies, the much more rapid normal approximation and chi-square calculations are liable to be inaccurate. The Fisher's exact test involves the computations of several factorials to obtain the probability of the observed and each of the more extreme tables. Factorials growth quickly, so it's necessary use logarithms of factorials. In Matlab this is very easy using the Gammaln function. The function uses preallocation and vectorization to speed-up the computations. Actually, the function also computes the mid-P correction to make the test less conservative.

Credit & Copyright: Noel DonnardExplanation: Point your telescope at tonight's first quarter Moon. Along the terminator, the shadow line between night and day, you might find these two large craters staring back at you with an owlish gaze. Alphonsus (left) and Arzachel are ancient impact craters on the north eastern shores of Mare Nubium, the lunar Sea of Clouds. The larger Alphonsus is over 100 kilometers in diameter. A low sun angle highlights the crater's sharp 1.5 kilometer high central peak in bright sunlight and dark shadow. Scouting for potential Apollo moon landing sites, the Ranger 9 spacecraft returned closeup photographs of Alphonsus before it crashed in the crater just northeast (left) of its central mountain in 1965. Alpetragius, between Alphonsus and Arzachel, is the small crater with the deeply shadowed floor and overly large central peak.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is a symbol of compassion and wisdom in Buddhism.
It has an extremely important position both in Mahayana Buddhism and folk beliefs. The great compassion spirit dominated by Guanyin Bodhisattva, people regard Mahayana Buddhism as the foundation of life.
Bodhisattva has broad and unselfish sorrow. When all the people encounter any difficulties and pains, if they can sincerely praise Guanyin Bodhisattva, they will get Bodhisattva’s protections.
The Jade Guanyin pendant is the essence of our Chinese jade culture.
It is a very important symbol of the rise of global Buddhist culture. In our Chinese village, there are many temples that offer such Guanyin Bodhisattvas. They all think that the Goddess of Mercy is a “god”. These people think that as long as they are dedicated to serving the Guanyin Buddha, and believe in it. they will be happy and happy for a lifetime, and their family members will be healthy, good luck, good fortune, and grandchildren.
In the common jade Guanyin pendant carvings, most of them accompanied willow, lotus, boy, and scroll.
Lotus is a sacred object in Buddhism, symbolizing cleanness and freedom. There is more than one style of lotus Guanyin. Guanyin is sitting on the lotus throne; Guanyin holds a lotus flower that is not blooming or there is a lotus flower carved in the side of Guanyin.etc

Every part in any of the machinery and appliance plays a vital role in the overall functioning. Each piece has to be checked for proper working regularly. Crank handles are one of those crucial products used for the effective and quick functioning of machinery. They are available in various types according to the task that needs to be performed.
Wide variety and uses
There exist only a few products that have a wide variety of uses. They are always a must-have to improve efficiency. Crank handles are mainly manufactured in two major types, hand-powered cranks and foot-powered cranks. Both types have their own sets of advantage and functions. A variety of materials are used for manufacturing, depending on the purpose of use. They are also made corrosion and temperature resistant for better service.
Hand-powered cranks are used in mechanical pencil sharpeners, fishing reel, manually operated car window, and hand winches. The foot-powered cranks are used in bicycles, foot-operated sewing machines, and for manual boating.
Advantages of using crank handles
Use of crank handles has a lot of benefits. Both the hand-powered and foot-powered cranks are widely used for convenience. They are manufactured with great precision so that less physical power is needed for the operation. They make the work of moving shafts in various objects like a fishing reel, sailboats, bicycles, and opening shutters, easy and quick. The colossal handle allows for better handling and movement.
What to look for in crank handles?
Understanding the need and the features to look at is necessary before making a purchase. One should choose from the two types according to the operation. Look for the material used for manufacture. The handle of the crank handle should be long enough for convenience. Also, check for the folding or non-folding aspects of the handles. At last look for more elegant and stylish crank handles.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Researchers at the University of Maryland are studying a low-calorie sweetener called tagatose, a sugar found naturally in dairy and used in sodas, cereals and toothpaste as a potential treatment for diabetes.
Diabetes patients given the sweetener saw improvements in their blood sugar and reductions in weight. Doctors found that those who consumed tagatose before meals did not have the typical spikes in blood sugar after eating.
Doctors believe it works because of how it is metabolized in the body.

Solidarity and Subsidiarity
06.15.2020 - By The Tightrope: Reflections for Busy Catholics
Solidarity is the idea that we are one, we are together. It is rooted in empathy for the person or groups who may not have advantages we have. GoFundMe Campaigns are an example of people living out solidarity. It is a way to live out our faith and helps us know we are not alone.
Subsidiarity is the idea we are most effective when we start closest to home and heart. From there we can transform our state and our nation. Colin believes that real subsidiarity starts in the heart with virtue. Subsidiarity is to integrate virtue in our own hearts and to live it out in the spaces closest to us.
These two, solidarity and subsidiarity, are the way we will fight against injustice, hate, and have an abundant life.

This pilot project will bring basic education to 50 children working as waste collectors. Children will be taught literacy, numeracy and life skills by specialist community teachers 3 times a week in education centres close to their workplace. At the same time their families will be supported out of poverty enabling the children to enrol in school or vocational training instead of going to work.
In Bangladesh's urban areas there are around 400,000 people, mostly women and children, who survive by collecting, storing and selling solid waste materials. They work with their bare hands sorting material for recycling - paper, plastic, metal and glass - and selling what they find to recycling factories. Childhood days are spent in the worst kind of labour where a range of illnesses - typhoid, diarrhoea, dysentery, tuberculosis, hepatitis, are common.
This project provides numeracy, literacy and life skills sessions with specialist teachers at learning centres near waste dumping hotspots. Fieldworkers will liaise with their parents and encourage children to attend classes 3 times a week. Many of the children are malnourished and have illnesses and injuries, so we will also provide nutritious food and healthcare. The ultimate goal is to enrol the children into school or vocational training whilst helping parents generate a sustainable income.
The children's literacy, numeracy and life skills will be tested at the outset and again at the end of a year. Similarly, the economic, health and wellbeing of the whole family will be assessed at the beginning and reviewed again at the end of the project. It is anticipated that the improvements will be life-changing for adults and children alike, allowing families to be lifted out of extreme poverty and children to attend school and vocational training.

You’re here! Hooray! Not sure how to begin? Read our tips on joining the conversation.
- Share posts, give kudos, and invite colleagues to join in. Our community of practice is multi-modal, incorporating face-to-face discussions and electronic exploration of ideas. Not everyone is comfortable in every format, but we can create synergy by encouraging each other to engage.
- Offer your take on the anchor texts. So you’ve read the anchor texts — bully for you! Tell us what you think the author is really getting at, perhaps another way of looking at the topic to help round out our discussion.
- Connect to what’s happening in your classroom. One of our main goals is to use this space to share our classroom experiences — all of them. We want to hear your successes, yes, but we also want to hear what didn’t quite work (yet), or what worked with one class but not another. We want to hear about experiments, flukes, one-offs, struggles, and mistakes, too; the stuff you celebrate AND the things that keep you up at night.
- Ask questions. We’re all teachers here, so I don’t need to belabor how important it is to ask questions, but I will because that’s what teachers do. Hans-Georg Gadamer writes, “The essence of the question is the opening up, and keeping open, of possibilities.” Good questions are better than easy answers; they are places of possibility that help us learn and grow.

Crossocerus punctata ŠNOFLAK,1948; Crossocerus snoflaki ZAVADIL,1948; Crossocerus vicinus DAHLBOM,1842
Description and notes
A small black solitary wasp. Identification keys are given in Yeo & Corbet (1995), Lomholdt (1984) and Richards (1980).When using Yeo & Corbet (1995) or Richards (1980), it should be noted that Crossocerus congener (Dahlbom) has recently been added to the British species list. C. congener is very similar in appearance to C. podagricus but has only been recorded on a very few occasions. Critical determinations for C. podagricus are best made using Lomholdt (1984).
A common species, recorded throughout much of England and Wales.
Overseas recorded from Scandanavia, across much of Europe to Central Asia and Japan. Doubtfully reported from northern Africa.
Status (in Britain only)
This species is not regarded as scarce or threatened.
Found in a wide range of habitats.
Recorded from May to early September.
Nest burrows are stocked with a range of small Diptera from various families, e.g. Chironomidae, Ceratopogonidae, Sciaridae and Scatophagidae (Lomholdt 1984). Other fly families are listed in Bitsch & Leclerq (1993).
Nests in cavities in dead wood and may make use of old beetle borings.
Males may be found swarming around small bushes or stands of tall herbaceous plants such as hogweed or wild parsnip in sunny situations. Females have been noted nectaring or hunting for prey at the flowers of hogweed, wild parsnip and other tall umbellifers (M N Smith, pers. obs.).

Interactions Within Ecosystems
Alaska. Photo and description courtesy of Alan Vernon./Flickr. Licensed
The interactions within an ecosystem shape how life evolves. Interactions between biotic and abitotic factors in ecosystems affect how organisms can survive and thrive in a particular area. As an example, plants and trees within a rainforest have adapted to each other. Trees in rainforests must grow tall in order to compete for sunlight. Their leaves are also adapted to gather as much sunlight as possible. Plants and shrubs at the floor of the rainforest must survive on very little water.
Soil type and pH can affect which types of plants can grow in a particular environment. Human alterations to ecosystems can also impact the water, soil, air, animals, and plants. Predator and prey relationships also affect the organisms in an ecosystem.
These kinds of interactions are only one of millions. What is important for you to understand is that these relationships force animals to adapt or die out.

(by Marinos Gizas, A class)
The existence of the giant squid is well accepted by science, though few have ever been seen, and little is known about their habits.
Giant squids are carnivorous mollusks that have a long, torpedo-shaped body. At one end, surrounding a beak-like mouth strong enough to cut through steel cable, are five pairs of arms. One pair, thinner and longer than the rest, is used to catch food and bring it to the mouth. Just past the mouth are the eyes – eyes that are the largest in the animal kingdom, sometimes as big as eighteen inches across.
All squid move through the ocean using a jet of water forced out of the body by a siphon. They eat fish, other squid and, in the case of the largest species, whales. They are thought to be open-water, deep, cold-sea creatures, and research indicates the blood of squids does not carry oxygen very well at higher temperatures. A squid will actually suffocate in warm water.
Temperature also seems to affect the squid’s buoyancy mechanism. Warm water will cause a squid to rise to the surface and not be able to get back down. With water temperature ever higher at the surface, the squid may be doomed. Most squid groundings occur near where two ocean streams-one cold, one warm- meet.
The largest squid ever measured was discovered by three fishermen who found a giant squid that had run aground. Using their anchor as a grappling hook, they snagged the still living body and made it fast to a tree. When the tide went out the creature was left high and dry. When the creature died, the fishermen measured it. The body of the squid was twenty feet from tail to beak. The longer tentacles were thirty-five feet and were tipped with four-inch suckers.

The Palisade Glacier is a glacier located on the northeast side of the Palisades within the John Muir Wilderness in the central Sierra Nevada of California. The glacier descends from the flanks of four mountain peaks over 14,000 ft (4,300 m) in elevation of which North Palisade (14,242 ft (4,341 m)) is third highest peak in the Sierra Nevada Range.
The cirque containing the Palisade Glacier has a history of thousands of years of glaciation. The modern glacier attained its last maximum extent during the Little Ice Age, between 250 and 170 years ago (a period also known as the Matthes glaciation in the Sierra Nevada). It currently has an area of .31 sq mi (0.80 km2) and the glacier is .81 mi (1.30 km) long and .50 mi (0.80 km) wide. It is located between 13,400 and 12,000 ft (4,100 and 3,700 m) and moves at a rate of 20 ft (6.1 m) per year, although it is also retreating. Palisade Glacier is one of the few glaciers in California that terminates in a proglacial lake dammed by its former moraine and the lake is turquoise colored from the glacial powder suspended in the water. The Big Pine Lakes below the glacier are also the same color. Another feature of the glacier is a moulin, which was formed in a drought during 1977, and a bergschrund.

As part of the European Green Deal, the EU aims to become climate-neutral and reach
net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In this context, EU member states are required to develop a national strategy to achieve the required emissions reductions under the Paris Agreement and EU climate goals. Western Macedonia is a region in North-western Greece with its economy largely dominated by lignite mining, lignite-fired power plants and district heating systems. In 2019, the Greek Government set the goal of withdrawing all lignite plants by 2028, with most units being withdrawn already by 2023. This decision has had an immense socio-economic impact on the region of Western Macedonia. This research work reflects the current situation at the socio-economic and
socio-political level in Western Macedonia and discusses the policies implemented in the context of the lignite phase-out process to ensure a just transition for households and businesses of the region. Although there is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ blueprint for successful low-carbon transitions of high-carbon intensive regional economies, the main target of our paper is understanding the impacts, challenges and opportunities of decarbonizing Western Macedonia.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. Your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, but high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease.
With high cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits grow, making it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries. Sometimes, those deposits can break suddenly and form a clot that causes a heart attack or stroke.
High cholesterol can be inherited, but it’s often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices, which make it preventable and treatable. A healthy diet, regular exercise and sometimes medication can help reduce high cholesterol.
Cholesterol is carried through your blood, attached to proteins. This combination of proteins and cholesterol is called a lipoprotein. There are different types of cholesterol, based on what the lipoprotein carries. They are:
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, transports cholesterol particles throughout your body. LDL cholesterol builds up in the walls of your arteries, making them hard and narrow.
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL, or “good” cholesterol, picks up excess cholesterol and takes it back to your liver.
A lipid profile also typically measures triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood. Having a high triglyceride level can also increase your risk of heart disease.
Factors you can control — such as inactivity, obesity and an unhealthy diet — contribute to high cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol. Factors beyond your control might play a role, too. For example, your genetic makeup might keep cells from removing LDL cholesterol from your blood efficiently or cause your liver to produce too much cholesterol.
How do you get high cholesterol?
Eating too much saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol can cause high cholesterol. Saturated fat and cholesterol are in foods that come from animals, such as meats, whole milk, egg yolks, butter, and cheese. Trans fat is found in fried foods and packaged foods, such as cookies, crackers, and chips.
Can high cholesterol levels cause high blood pressure?
High cholesterol is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. That can include coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. High cholesterol has also been linked to diabetes and high blood pressure.
How Does Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease?
When there is too much cholesterol (a fat-like substance) in your blood, it builds up in the walls of your arteries. Over time, this buildup causes “hardening of the arteries” so that arteries become narrowed and blood flow to the heart is slowed down or blocked. The blood carries oxygen to the heart, and if enough blood and oxygen cannot reach your heart, you may suffer chest pain. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by a blockage, the result is a heart attack.
What Affects Cholesterol Levels?
A variety of things can affect cholesterol levels. These are things you can do something about:
- Poor diet. Eating saturated fat, found in animal products, and trans fats, found in some commercially baked cookies and crackers and microwave popcorn, can raise your cholesterol level. Foods that are high in cholesterol, such as red meat and full-fat dairy products, will also increase your cholesterol.
- Obesity. Having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater puts you at risk of high cholesterol.
- Lack of exercise. Exercise helps boost your body’s HDL, or “good,” cholesterol while increasing the size of the particles that make up your LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol, which makes it less harmful.
- Smoking. Cigarette smoking damages the walls of your blood vessels, making them more prone to accumulate fatty deposits. Smoking might also lower your level of HDL, or “good,” cholesterol.
- Age. Because your body’s chemistry changes as you age, your risk of high cholesterol climbs. For instance, as you age, your liver becomes less able to remove LDL cholesterol.
- Diabetes. High blood sugar contributes to higher levels of a dangerous cholesterol called very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and lower HDL cholesterol. High blood sugar also damages the lining of your arteries.
High cholesterol can cause a dangerous accumulation of cholesterol and other deposits on the walls of your arteries (atherosclerosis). These deposits (plaques) can reduce blood flow through your arteries, which can cause complications, such as:
- Chest pain. If the arteries that supply your heart with blood (coronary arteries) are affected, you might have chest pain (angina) and other symptoms of coronary artery disease.
- Heart attack. If plaques tear or rupture, a blood clot can form at the plaque-rupture site — blocking the flow of blood or breaking free and plugging an artery downstream. If blood flow to part of your heart stops, you’ll have a heart attack.
- Stroke. Similar to a heart attack, a stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to part of your brain.
How can I lower my cholesterol levels?
The first step in reducing cholesterol is to maintain a healthy, balanced diet. It is important to keep your diet low in fatty food, especially food containing saturated fat, and eat lots of fruit, vegetables and wholegrain cereals. This will also help to prevent high cholesterol from returning. Other lifestyle changes can also make a big difference. It will help to lower your cholesterol if you do regular exercise.
The best and safest way to lower high levels of cholesterol in the body is by taking natural and organic products. Our cholesterol package works perfectly because they come in the form of the raw food itself in a proportionally balanced ratio as the body needs. It’s tackles the root cause of the cholesterol and treat it naturally with no side effects.

VIDEO: Researchers Present Hard-To-Kill Robotic 'Earthworm'
Robots are cool to begin with, but today researchers at MIT, Harvard and Seoul National University unveiled one that will impress some and scare others.
It's a robot modeled after an earthworm. It squirms and crawls cross the floor and even if you hit with a hammer or step on it, it keeps slithering along.
We'll leave it at that, because there's really not much more we can add this to this video released by MIT:

5 Countries That Escaped European Colonies
Since the birth of human civilization, chaos and mutual desire to dominate each other have become something that probably all of us already understand.
Departing from there, finally, colonialism was born. It has even been going on from the 1500-1960s range. But, did you know? That on this earth there are five countries that have never been touched by colonialism.
Why was Japan not touched by European colonization? The answer is that the strength and diplomacy of the Japanese state cannot be underestimated. These two things made Europeans keep their distance from Japan, and because of these two powers, Japan also dared to colonize Korea.
Although Korea was colonized by Japan, Europeans chose not to colonize this country because of the strength of its isolationist policies. However, three years after independence from Japan, Korea was divided into two.
The European colonizers, both Britain and France, let Thailand not be colonized. The reason was the bridge between Burma and French Indochina, which was then under British control. However, Thailand did not escape colonial rule with the Japanese Empire system in the 20th century.
Why did Liberia escape European colonization? Because at that time, Liberia had the support of America. Please note, Liberia was founded by American slaves who had been freed and moved to the African continent. Despite being listed as Minority residents, Americans who move to Liberia enjoy special privileges.
The reason why Ethiopia was not colonized and escaped from the Europeans was that at that time Italy was colonizing it. Ethiopia then gave part of its territory as stated in the 1880 treaty which prohibited Ethiopia from interfering in the affairs of neighboring countries and handed over affairs entirely to Italy.

Raggedy Ann Stories, abridged and adapted from the original, contains 13 short stories about the classic rag doll and her friends. The text is from the US government English language department and is accompanied a picture glossary, and questions to aid comprehension. The language has been simplified for high-beginning level English language learners (with vocabulary at the first 1000-word level) and is appropriate for young learners. Illustrations are included in black and white.
Sample Text from the Book
( full text from story 1: Raggedy Ann Learns A Lesson):
- In this story, Marcella will find something special. Do you have something you found? What is it? Where did you find it?
- Where is Marcella in the rest picture? What can you see in the room?
- What do you think Marcella will find in this room?
Marcella liked to visit her Grandma’s old house. When she was at her Grandma’s house, she played up in the attic. Marcella found many old toys and things there.
One day, Marcella was up in the attic as usual. She was tired because she was playing for a long time, so she sat down to rest.
She looked around and saw a box in the back of the room. “What could be in that box over there?” she thought. She stood up and climbed over some old chairs and tables. Finally, she got to the box.
She opened it, but it was too dark to see. Marcella brought the box over to the window where she could see better in the sunshine.
She found a little white hat and put it on her head. In an old bag, she found some dolls wearing old clothes. And there was a picture of a very pretty little girl with long hair. Then Marcella pulled out an old
rag doll with only one button eye, a painted nose, and a smiling mouth. Her dress was made out of soft cloth. It was blue with pretty little flowers all over it.
Marcella was so happy. She picked up the rag doll and ran down- stairs to show it to her Grandma.
“Well! Well! Where did you nd her?” Grandma asked. “It’s old Rag- gedy Ann!” Grandma gave the doll a hug. “I forgot about her. She has been in the attic for fty years! Well! Well! Dear old Raggedy Ann! She needs her other eye right away!”
Marcella watched Grandma sew the button on Raggedy Ann. Grandma told Marcella how she played with Raggedy Ann when she was a little girl.
“Now,” Grandma laughed, “Raggedy Ann, you have two new button eyes. Now you can see the changes in the world! And, Raggedy Ann, you have a new friend. I hope you and Marcella will have as much hap- piness together as you and I did!”
Then Grandma gave Raggedy Ann to Marcella. She said, “Marcella, this is my very good friend, Raggedy Ann. Raggedy, this is my grand- daughter, Marcella!” And Grandma helped Raggedy Ann shake Mar- cella’s hand.
“Oh, Grandma! Thank you so much!” Marcella said as she gave Grandma a hug and kiss. “Raggedy Ann and I will have so much fun.” And that was how Raggedy Ann became part of the doll family at
Marcella’s house. This book is about Raggedy Ann’s stories.
- Who is Raggedy Ann? What does Raggedy Ann look like?
- What was Raggedy Ann missing?
- You are a grandparent. You want to share something from your childhood with your grandchild. What would you give him or her?
Raggedy Ann is a character created by American writer Johnny Gruelle (1880–1938) in a series of books he wrote and illustrated for young children. Raggedy Ann is a rag doll with red yarn for hair and has a triangle nose. Johnny Gruelle received US Patent D47789 for his Raggedy Ann doll on September 7, 1915. The character was created in 1915 as a doll, and was introduced to the public in the 1918 book Raggedy Ann Stories. When a doll was marketed with the book, the concept had great success. A sequel, Raggedy Andy Stories (1920), introduced the character of her brother, Raggedy Andy.

The holiday season is quickly approaching, and with it, comes all kinds of delicious candy. You probably know that candy is not the best thing for your child's teeth. Candy usually contains large amounts of sugar, which is the primary cause of cavities. Some types of candy are also very acidic, which leads to worn enamel and damaged teeth. The good news is, you can still let your child eat candy during the holidays, you just have to be smart about it.
Here are three ways to protect your child's teeth from candy.
1. Know What Kind of Candy Your Child Should Avoid
If you are trying to protect your child's teeth from cavities, worn enamel, or damaged teeth, there are certain foods candies child should avoid altogether. Hard candies and lollipops are fun to eat, but they can cause serious damage to the teeth. This is because these kinds of candies stay in the mouth for a prolonged period of time. By staying in the mouth, it allows sugar to build up more easily on the teeth, which can turn into a cavity.
Also, these hard kinds of candy can cause a tooth to crack. Another kind of candy your child should avoid is sour candies, which are very acidic. Examples of sour candies include sweethearts, skittles, and gummy bears.
2. Offer Your Child Certain Foods
If you do let your child eat candy over the holidays, there are certain foods that can help counteract the effects of candy on the teeth. Foods such as cheese, milk, and other dairy products contain calcium, which helps keep the teeth strong and healthy. Foods that contain fluoride also help to prevent cavities from forming.
Foods with fluoride include:
When it comes to eating food, you may want your child to eat their candy after they eat lunch or dinner. After they eat a meal, their mouth contains high amounts of saliva. This saliva can help clear the teeth of sugar-containing particles.
3. Call Your Dentist If You Think Your Child Has a Cavity
If your child has eaten too much candy over the holidays, you should contact your dentist at the first sign of a cavity. Treating a cavity early on will help prevent it from becoming larger. In some cases, untreated cavities can cause infection and tooth loss. Signs your child might have a cavity include pain, sensitivity, and stains on the tooth.
For more tips, reach out to a local dentist.

How to code Tic-Tac-Toe (and a Lua implementation)
After installing Lua, I had to write Tic-Tac-Toe in Lua for a job interview awhile ago. It seems like a trivial technical problem, but it's not actually that easy. Here's how I did it (which is not the only method):
The board is represented by a 2D table of spaces. They are empty to start (
nil in Lua's case). When you play, you put an "x" or an "o" into the table. The board is used to keep track of piece locations and to display them. It does not calculate wins.
The board also has "regions." A region is a place where a player may win (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). It holds pointers to the board table. Player 1 is represented by
+, and Player 2 by
-. Each piece in the region increments or decrements the checking of the region. Basically, two X's returns as
2. Two O's returns as
-3 is a winning region.
My Lua implementation is available right here and is free license. I hope it helps you tic-tac-toe programmers! I'm sure there are billions of you.

Models of self-organization have proved useful in revealing what processes may underlie characteristics of swarms. In this study, we review model-based explanations for aspects of the shape and internal structure of groups of fish and of birds travelling undisturbed (without predator threat). Our models attribute specific collective traits to locomotory properties. Fish slow down to avoid collisions and swim at a constant depth, whereas birds fly at low variability of speed and lose altitude during turning. In both the models of fish and birds, the 'bearing angle' to the nearest neighbour emerges as a side-effect of the 'blind angle' behind individuals and when group size becomes larger, temporary subgroups may increase the complexity of group shape and internal structure. We discuss evidence for model-based predictions and provide a list of new predictions to be tested empirically.

A bone inlay refers to the furniture-making procedure where shell or bone is pressed into fabulous design. Learn all about bone inlay furniture here.
Definition of Bone Inlay:
Bone Inlay is termed as Intarsia for which excellent home décor trends are followed up to manufacture furniture pieces. It is mainly used with flat surfaces such as sideboard fronts or tabletop.
The works are itself a statement with an artisanal process. The bone fragments are attached to the darker background to make the spectacular pattern.
About Bone Inlay Art:
You heard it right as the bone inlay is an ancient art. It is in use for many years as per our tradition and culture. This unique talent is never extinct as it is transferred from one generation to the next. This art is practiced in the areas of Rajasthan like Jaipur, Jodhpur, etc. It has even widespread popularity over the world and people who prefer a royal look inside the house would go for bone inlay art pieces.
Making of Bone Inlay:
The worldwide patterns consist of mesmerising and meticulous patterns. In short, these are made with the tradition known as bone inlaying.
It is an artisan’s choice in India about a century ago. And still, it is on the front to compete for the modern craft pieces. It takes a huge amount of effort to manufacture a masterpiece. Experts engage themselves for a month in a specific project.
At first, you need to cut bone fragments and later shape these into delicate pieces. It is noticeable how craftsmen would fill the inner space for each fragment. In this essence, the malleable material will do the trick as it creates proper background colour and contrast as well. Mostly resin is useful for this purpose.
Finally, when the frame is done, waxing and sanding are started for smooth touch.
Materials Apart from Bones:
Inlaying needs some other materials apart from bones. Some other frequently used materials are ivory or shell. It will produce the same white contrast as done with bones. It is a fact that inlay furniture needs coloured dyes which are different from natural colours.
Types of Inlays Furniture:
- Coffee Table: Coffee table made with bone inlay is the perfect showpiece for the living room. This kind of large item would stand out as the best thing in the house.
- Dresser: Sometimes we use bone inlay on the top of the furniture as it is easy to attach them in horizontal and flat surfaces. Make sure that there is nothing like side panelling or pulling, drawer mechanisms, etc.
- Desk: These are somewhere unique which are not seen in conventional living rooms. Hence, the perfect choice of these pieces needs daring investment and attitude.
- Side Table: It is the table placed in the entryways. The Bone Inlay Floral Design Black Dining Table will put all the things together in the centre and people will love to watch it.
- Console Table: It is another masterpiece of the bone inlay manufacturing phenomenon. You should use this table to decorate the living room or dining space.

India is known for its artistic features with remarkable and appealing designs. This furniture is exported to the other countries as per the exclusive order. These pieces are environment friendly, and it is strictly stated that no animals would be killed or harmed for this royal manufacturing process.
Special approaches are welcome over conventional ones as the outlook is the main priority. Contrasting colour, the background is required with excellent materials and fabrics. The bone of animals like camels who died due to natural calamity or natural death are mainly preferred.
The people should not feel that any animal was harmed for manufacturing this worldwide furniture. People buy it for enhancing the royal beauty in their rooms. Bedside desks manufactured from bone inlay offer a plethora of shapes, designs, and colours. It is exceptional and very hard to afford.

A disconnect from environments has largely dominated educational discourse and policy. Attention to place and environment in education has gained momentum recently through several relational theories. Application of these theories in education notes the materiality and relationality of pedagogy, though often without specificity as to what the pedagogy is – how it is enacted and what guides such pedagogy. For pedagogical direction in enlivening learning with environments, this paper looks to the potential of ecological psychology theories of affordances and developing specificity via perception and action with environments. To illustrate such, we offer reflections on the pedagogical gap from a teacher education project that attunes preservice teachers to the potential for learning by engaging with spaces produced for children by artists. We then look closely to the pedagogical practices of an artist working with children in a primary school maker space-oriented program. Inspired by ideas from ecological psychology, we identify four pedagogical principles in practices of responsive learning with environments and suggest these as a possible pedagogical framework for eliciting embodied, emplaced, relational, and integrated learning with environments.

Hoodia currorii (Hook.) Decne.
Hoodia currorii var. currorii, Scytanthus currorii, Adenium namaquarium, Ceropegia currorii subsp. currorii
Hoodia currorii is a succulent shrub with cylindrical spiny gray-green stems. The stems are erect, up to 32 inches (80 cm) tall, and up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) in diameter. They have 11 to 24 vertical ribs consisting of prominent obtuse tubercles, each tipped with a sharp, up to 0.4 inches (1 cm) long spine. The large flowers are rust-red covered in purple hairs, up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, and appear in mid-summer.
USDA hardiness zones 10a to 11b: from 30 °F (−1.1 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C).
How to Grow and Care
Stapeliads are relatively easy to grow. However, they should be treated as outdoor plants as they will easily rot indoors and cannot flower without exposure to outdoor temperature fluctuations. They should be grown under cover so that watering can be controlled. Stapeliads require a reasonable amount of sunlight to promote flowering and maintain a well-shaped plant. Very shady positions will produce very poor flowering.
These plants come from climates where they survive extremely high temperatures in the summer months, so most growth is in spring and fall, with flowering in fall when the weather starts to cool down. In the growing season, water in moderation when needed, making sure soil is fairly dried out between waterings. Do not water between late fall and early spring.
The easiest and best way to propagate Stapeliads is from stem cuttings which can be taken virtually throughout the year. Seed is also a method of propagation.

The given passage contrasts the qualities of leaders chosen by a free and a despairing country. If a country chooses a leader when it is in a sorry state, the leader often turns out to be a dictator, which may even happen by chance. They have given example of rise of dictatorship under Hitler's rule in Germany.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Hitler was a leader chosen by country in despair. Also, it is not necessary that only a free country chooses their leader. So, options B and C are incorrect.
It is people who foresee if a person would be future leader. So, option D is incorrect.

In 1884 the first German Brown Trout to be introduced to North America was in the Pere Marquette River.
In 1885 the McCloud strain of Rainbow Trout were planted in the Pere Marquette River. Two years later, In 1887, Steelhead started showing up as a result of the 1885 planting because no one knew they were in the mix. Each year the decedents of those Steelhead migrate up the river from mid October through the beginning of May and then back out to Lake Michigan only to return again each year.
In 1964 the Coho or Silver Salmon were planted in the river. Coho migrate up the river mid-October through December.
In 1967 the Chinook or King Salmon were planted in the river. Kings migrate up the river mid-August through mid-October.
Because the river is a migratory fishery it’s open 365 days per year

Program comments are explanatory statements that you can include in the C++ code. These comments help anyone reading the source code. All programming languages allow for some form of comments.
C++ supports single-line and multi-line comments. All characters available inside any comment are ignored by C++ compiler.
To create a single line comment, we use the // notation. Wherever you want to start the comment, start it with //. For example,
// This is a comment cout<<"Hello"; // This is a comment following a statement.
Multiline comments span multiple lines and are often called block comments. You can use it using the /* */ notation. For example,
/* This is a Multiline comment */

Motoring tour: No city is an island book
Cities need their hinterland of towns and villages, and in turn towns and villages depend on cities. In the late 19th century, 12% of the deaths in London hospitals were of patients from outside the metropolis. Trade in patients brought financial benefits both to London and to the neighbouring areas. ‘Health tourists’ seeking benefit from sea-water in the 19th and early 20th century were not the first visitors to the area seeking salvation. The asylum was one of seven built outside London by the London County Council in response to the 1890 Lunacy Act, which made local authorities responsible for providing care for those with mental illness. The hospital was only partly successful as the depressed patients were largely inactive and those who were manic tended to abscond. The workshops produced brooms, mattresses, books and metal goods to help provide income and to pay patients a small salary.

What are the 3 types of Buddhism?
The Buddha died in the early 5th century B.C. His teachings, called the dharma, spread over Asia and developed into three basic traditions: Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. Buddhists call them “vehicles,” meaning they are ways to carry pilgrims from suffering to enlightenment.
Is Christianity legal in Cambodia?
The law provides for freedom of belief and religious worship, provided such freedom neither interferes with others’ beliefs and religions nor violates public order and security. The law does not allow non-Buddhist denominations to proselytize publicly.
Is Hinduism still practiced in Cambodia?
Since then, Hinduism slowly declined in Cambodia, and finally being replaced by Theravadan Buddhist as the major faith in the kingdom. Despite this, Hindu rituals continue to play an important role in the kingdom.
What is the most practiced form of Buddhism?
East Asian Mahayana
East Asian Buddhists constitute the numerically largest body of Buddhist traditions in the world, numbering over half of the world’s Buddhists. East Asian Mahayana began to develop in China during the Han dynasty (when Buddhism was first introduced from Central Asia).
Is Buddhism Poly or monotheistic?
As a religion, Buddhism is neither monotheistic nor polytheistic. … Due to this belief system, Buddhism is often regarded as a philosophy rather than a religion. He was an ordinary man who had attained awakening and enlightenment (known as nirvana) around 6 th century BC. Buddhism is non-theistic.

Managing the class effectively
Starting the class is not easy how it looks. This needs full dedication and proper planning before leading to success. Teachers may resort to many options on how to achieve the goal inside the classroom.
Running the class effectively can be delusional for some teachers and sometimes can be frustrating. The integration of some individual and collected ideas may help to ring up the class objective.
Here is a list of some of the ideas to consider.
1. Proper Use of Time
Having a good plan before starting the class is one way to use the time proficiently in the classroom. It can build a smooth transition dealing with the whole teaching process though there would be some distractions and unwanted circumstances along the way. Just keep in mind the importance of time and your goal in the class.
2. Practice your lesson
Entering the class prepared is like one good shot for teachers that really consider teaching as a profession. Practicing your lesson can be one great way to achieve the objectives and can help you run the class effectively in the classroom. Your students can easily check if you are prepared or not. So always practice your lesson before teaching the class.
3. Class Consistency
When you are prompted with some unexpected situations in the class, being consistent is the key. Setting some rules can be a big help to keep the consistency in the class. These rules are your solid walls to keep the class intact and consistent. Sometimes, students can be unruly when some things inside the class change, and here, your rules rule when you are consistent.
4. Building Confidence
Seemingly, one way to run the class effectively is to have confidence while teaching. This can help you bulls eye the objectives in the class. Showing your confidence in front of your students can build confidence in them as well. Here, you are not only building confidence but also trust. Because gaining your students' trust is a plus.
5. Reduce Behavior Problems
Class behavior varies on the kind of students you are dealing with. And one concrete problem you would have here is how to reduce the behavior problem in the class if it's not solved. Primarily, class behavior issues can be frustrating. So, find suitable ways on how to do it yourself. This is one huge challenge for every teacher. After all, teachers are great inventors.
6. Building of Relationship
Teachers can build a good rapport with their students. Great teaching methods in the class additionally help students to have positive relations with their teachers. These methodologies as well help the teachers in collaborating with students effortlessly and build good relationships. One of the best ways to build a good relationship with the students is to have interactive activities inside the class.
7. Positive Class Ambiance
Having positivity inside the classroom guarantees that a learner works productively and shares what he learns transparently in the class. This would help you as a teacher to motivate your students to get excited every day in the class. Likewise, it can encourage the learners to study harder.
8. Productive Teaching Time
The success of every class is measured by how students learn and what they learn. It is always advisable to keep your teaching productive by proper planning and exceptional execution of the lesson. As a matter of fact, this would keep your teaching time meaningful and successful.
9. Use of Interactive Activities
Teaching this generation of students needs more effort and more resources. And a method we can consider dealing with this generation's learners is the use of interactive activities in the class. We can keep our students interested and motivated in the class if we have varieties of activities. These activities excite the students to attend your class every day.

Consequences of austerity on the health of populations
In 2013, a study published by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) confirmed that a causal link exists between austerity and suicide, alcoholism, and even the incidence of infectious disease. Furthermore, in 2009, the BMJ concluded that income inequality was linked to the deaths of 1.5 million people in the 15 countries with the most income disparity alone.
For children, the consequences are disastrous. In 2013, UNICEF published a study denouncing the important impacts of periods of austerity on children’s wellbeing. In Québec, the Centrale de l’enseignement du Québec stated that it is now impossible for an adult to have access to a psychologist or social worker for interventions in times of relationship difficulties involving (violence, abuse, divorce). This situation is particularly worrisome, for example, as it is the cause of a sharp rise in youth suicide rates and harms their ability to develop and adapt properly.

The history of microbiology in chile: About the origin of experimental bacteriology Sobre el origen de la bacteriología experimental en chile
The origin of Bacteriology in Chile is intimately bound to the life of the physicians Vicente Izquierdo Sanfuentes and Francisco Puelma Tupper. Both were awarded in 1874 with a government fellowship to study in the most prestigious universities of Europe. Dr. Izquierdo studied Histology and Dr. Puelma Tupper Pathology. After their return to Chile in 1879, both founded in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Chile, the first experimental laboratories in their respective disciplines. It was in those laboratories that the new science of microbiology started to be developed slowly. This discipline was just consolidating itself in Europe, led by the famous scientists Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch.

Dieting may be good for your health but it could also make you look older. A study by the Medical College of Wisconsin found fat loss in the face makes the eyes seem hollow and cheeks look deflated.
Researchers studied participants between the ages of 46 and 57 who lost 12-percent of fat over ten years. They found the loss of fat in their faces caused the appearance of aging.
Researchers say the study shows facial sagging as a person gets older is not just caused by gravity but by fat loss in the face.

A broken band around the circumference of a munition indicates that it is a binary item. Binary items contain two
components that require mixing to achieve their intended effect. Either component may have specific hazards
associated with it. A dark-green broken band indicates the presence of binary toxic chemical agents. Note: Do
not confuse these bands with the weight zone markings previously discussed.
Broken Band of "T"s
A broken band of "T"s around the circumference of a munition indicates that it contains a tracer element. The
color of the "T"s will be marked in the same color as the tracer flame.
Broken Band of "C"s
A broken band of "C"s around the circumference of a munition indicates that it contains a color-bursting chemical.
The color of the "C"s will be the color of the burst. This marking will only be used on flash-type signal devices.
Broken Band of "D"s
A broken band of "D"s around the circumference of a munition indicates that it contains a dye load. The color of
the "D"s will indicate the dye color involved.
Solid bands are used to indicate the presence of a specific hazardous filler that is not indicated by the primary-use
color code. For example, a WP smoke round would be painted light green to indicate a smoke cartridge. It would
have red markings to identify its incendiary characteristics (caused by the WP filler). It would also have a solid
yellow band to identify the HE hazard. The band colors and their meanings are as follows:
Dark green--toxic chemical.
Dark red-riot--control chemical.
The current color coding system uses a combination of base color, colored markings, and colored special
symbols to identify the hazards associated with a munition. With the special symbols it is easier to identify
additional hazards not previously included in the markings.
Olive-drab, the most common base color, has no identification significance. It is used primarily to protect and
camouflage the munition. The color white has no significance when used on guided missiles, mine dispensers,
and rocket launchers. Black or white lettering also has no identification significance.

In classical Greek mythology (c.700 BCE), Pandora was the first woman on earth.
Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create her from clay. The gods endowed her with many gifts: Athena clothed her, Aphrodite gave her beauty, Apollo gave her musical ability, and Hermes gave her speech.
Zeus presented Pandora to Epimetheus as a potential wife. The Titan Epimetheus fell madly in love with Pandora and wished to marry her even though he was suspicious of Zeus and his intentions. As a wedding present, Zeus gave Pandora a box but warned her never to open it.
Pandora, who was created to be curious, couldn’t stay away from the box and the urge to open the box overcame her. Horrible things flew out of the box including greed, envy, hatred, pain, disease, hunger, poverty, war, and death. All of life’s miseries had been let out into the world. Pandora slammed the lid of the box back down. The last thing remaining inside of the box was hope. Ever since, humans have been able to hold onto this hope in order to survive the wickedness that Pandora had let out.
“Pandora’s box” now means anything that is best left untouched, for fear of what might come out of it.

Thread mills cut threads into an existing hole or onto the external surface of a part. A single thread mill can create internal threads in a range of hole diameters, eliminating the need to change tools when threading multiple holes of different sizes. Thread mills are used in production milling applications over 3/8" and in applications where a variety of parts will be produced on the same machine. They are also used as an alternative to taps when threading soft, nonferrous alloys that may break standard taps. Thread mills can only be used in CNC machines that have helical interpolation capability.

This is a Simon Says type of exercise which, due to the multiple steps and use of anatomical terms, and the final addition of a riddle, gets students thinking and moving.. and moving and thinking… and learning!
The exercise was developed, tested and shared by the faculty of the Health Science Department at Lock Haven University in Lock Haven, PA. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Give your students the following instructions
1) Put your finger on a spot anterior to your heart, just inferior to your mandible and lateral to your trachea.
Then ask: What should everyone be doing? (Taking pulse)
2) Put your right hand on your sternum, move it laterally toward your left humerous about 3 inches
Then ask: What might you be doing if there was a flag in the room? (Pledge of Allegiance)
3) Place the anterior side of your hands together and then move them to a position that is superior to the bone structure containing your hypothalamus
What might you be doing? (Walk like an Egyptian)
4) With your finger, trace a line beginning at a spot superficial to the cervical vertebrae on their posterior side. Move along an oblique plane, inferior and lateral to the right, now trace medially and continue laterally to the left about 6 inches, turn and trace superiorly and medially.
What shape have you traced? (Triangle)
5) Place your hands superficial to your quadriceps, move them distally to the patellar region. Move both hands medially and continue laterally until they touch the opposing patellar region (repeat)
What are you doing? (Charlie Brown or Charleston)
6) Place one hand on your clavicle, move it superiorly, posteriorly, inferiorly
What bone are you touching? (Scapula)
The last 3 do not have answers – maybe your students can come up with some of their own. Ask them to explain these moves and then form small groups to make up one of their own to share with the class!
7) Place both hands on the gluteal region. Move them laterally to the hips (name this region) and then superiorly to the axillary region. Move your hands medially until they are proximal to the sternum.
8) Trace your finger on the mid-saggital plane beginning at the anterior region superficial to your frontal lobe and move inferiorly
9) Trace a frontal plane beginning at your left patella and move superiorly to your otic region.

In which U.S. state did the Peninsula campaign take place in the American Civil War?
The Peninsula campaign (also known as the Peninsular campaign) of the American Civil War was a major Union operation launched in southeastern Virginia from March through July 1862, the first large-scale offensive in the Eastern Theater. The operation, commanded by Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, was an amphibious turning movement against the Confederate States Army in Northern Virginia, intended to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. McClellan was initially successful against the equally cautious General Joseph E. Johnston, but the emergence of the more aggressive General Robert E. Lee turned the subsequent Seven Days Battles into a humiliating Union defeat.
Virginia, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States, between the Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most-populous city, and Fairfax County is the most-populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's population in 2020 was over 8.65 million, with 36% of them living in the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area.

The Zing program develops the cerebellum so that it is working efficiently. If the cerebellum is working efficiently then learnt skills will be automatic and will not require mental processing or effort. Therefore, the individual's attention can be reserved for processing information and making decisions. However, if the cerebellum is not working efficiently then the attention and concentration is used up trying to perform the undeveloped skill (that should be automated) and none is available for the task in hand.
For example. If the cerebellum is functioning efficiently then during a writing exercise the grip and control of the pen, formation of the letters, remembering the correct spellings, etc. will be automatic (as this is a skill that has been learnt and automated by the cerebellum). Therefore, the remaining concentration can be used to structure the thoughts in the head and write them down.
If the skills are not automated then all of the attention will be required to physically write and work out how the words are spelt, etc. Only limited capacity is therefore available to structure thoughts, which is why people who struggle often get tired quickly, lose concentration and struggle to stay on task.

Today, expertise has offered our kids with a mess of electronic games and gadgets which, while ultimate leisure for Winter and rainy days, can discourage youngsters from the nice old fashioned artwork of simply playing outside. Kids’s minister Maree Todd launched the place assertion as we speak at Muddy Buddies outdoor nursery in Drumchapel, Glasgow. Away from the constraints and confinement of indoor play, being exterior youngsters’s imaginations are often stimulated by the objects around them and so they shortly faucet into their creativity.
Partaking in outdoor video games may also help children develop their gross and fantastic motor skills. Toys that require muscle coordination and steadiness, like skates, bicycles, these skills teach kids and encourage the event of self-confidence as well as satisfy their curiosity and curiosity in exploration.
Creator and medical psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison writes, Youngsters want the freedom and time to play. Getting youngsters to spend extra time outdoors is important if we’re to give the next era bodily and psychological health they need to thrive in life. Outside play is not just fundamentally healthy but also helps develop a disposition for bodily activity, and care of the atmosphere.
Unstructured outside play helps children learn to take turns, share and develop other optimistic behavioral skills. Youngsters make the foundations and in doing so use their imagination, creativity, intelligence and negotiation expertise in a unique means. Additionally, poorly designed out of doors areas make it harder for kids to play exterior.

A multimeter is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, in which case it is also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM), as the unit is equipped with voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter functionality. Some feature the measurement of additional properties such as temperature and volume.
Analog multimeters use a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings. Digital multimeters (DMM, DVOM) have numeric displays and have made analog multimeters obsolete as they are cheaper, more precise, and more physically robust than analog multimeters.

Hello students! Do you know that there are 4 laws of radicals? Today I am going to teach you how to apply these laws.
For the first law, it is stated that if the index of the radical and the exponent of the base are equal then the simplified form of the equation is equal to the base. Let us look at the board to further understand the concept.
ⁿ√aⁿ = (ⁿ√a)ⁿ = a
ⁿ√aⁿ= (ⁿ√a)ⁿ = a
Here on the board are two of the examples on how this law is applied. Let us explore it in detail! All of the indexes and exponents are equal in the three numbers; therefore, when simplified it will all be equal to the radicand. For the third number, the only thing left to do is to multiply 3 to the variable.
Now, let us head to the second law. It is stated here that these values are equal to each other. Observe the given values in the blackboard to further understand the law. Let us now move on the examples.
ⁿ√ab = ⁿ√a × ⁿ√b
We can see in the blackboard 2 examples on how to apply this law. Now, do you have any questions?

Germ: 1. A cell or group of cells (called a primordium) capable of developing into an organ, a part or an organism in its entirety. Eggs and sperm are germ cells.
2. A pathogenic a microorganism. A microbe capable of causing disease. The germ theory of disease held, correctly, that these minute bodies can cause disease.
3. The figurative source or wellspring. Dr. Watson told Holmes he had the germ of an idea.
Germ is a deceptively simple word that came to us from Latin germen, meaning a sprout, bud, or offshoot. In all of its meanings, the term germ retains the idea of developing into something more mature.
- Germ cell
Germ cell: Either the egg or the sperm cell; a reproductive cell. Each mature germ cell is haploid, meaning that it has a single set of 23 chromosomes containing half the usual amount of DNA and half the usual number of genes. Except for the egg and the sperm, most cells in the human body […]
- Germ cell tumor
Germ cell tumor: A tumor that arises from a germ cell. A germ cell tumor may arise within the gonads (in the ovary or testis). Most testicular tumors, in fact, are germ cell tumors. Germ cell tumors also may arise in extragonadal sites, reflecting the fact that germ cells travel to diverse areas of the […]
- Germ line
Germ line: 1. The sequence of cells which develop into eggs and sperm. 2. Inherited material that comes from the eggs or sperm and is passed on to offspring.
- German disease
German disease: Syphilis. Depending upon someone’s thoughts as to where the disease came from, syphilis was also known as the French, Italian, Spanish and Polish disease.
- German measles (historical note)
German measles (historical note): In 1941 N. M. Gregg, an Australian ophthalmologist, recognized that infection of the mother with German measles (rubella) during early pregnancy could malform an embryo and cause a characteristic syndrome of congenital malformations. The first feature Dr. Greeg noticed was cataracts. Gregg published his pioneering observations in 1942. Rapid progress in […]

Nutritionist and dietitian Wendy Bazilian shares her secrets to unlocking the full nutritional potential of carrots, apples, garlic and more. She also shows us how to make healthy kale and avocado salad and Mediterranean-flavored potato salad.
You've heard it before, eat more fruits and vegetables. Sure, but do they always have to be served raw and fresh? The way we store, prep, cook and combine them can boost those nutrients even further to get the most out of the gifts of mother nature.
1. Pair avocado and kale (or other dark leafy greens)
Combining these foods increases the absorption of vitamin K, and boosts phytochemicals like beta-carotene by 400% or more! Research has also shown that avocados paired with tomatoes — think guacamole and salsa— increase the lycopene's nutrient absorption by more than 200%.
2. Use herbs and spices when cooking protein
In a meal that contains fat, herb and spice blends can reduce the levels of fats in the blood (triglycerides) by up to 30% after a meal. And, when they are included in marinades with meats, chicken, burgers, etc. (basically any animal protein), they reduce the production of harmful compounds is reduced by 44-70%.
RELATED: How to keep avocado fresh and green
3. Trim carrots and roast them whole
Cooking carrots boosts the levels of important carotenoid plant nutrients—including beta-carotene, which plays a role in healthy vision, skin and the immune system. Research has shown they will retain the carotenoids and other nutrients better than cutting first and then cooking them. (They'll retain their flavor better, too!)
4. Cook apples in a cast iron pan
Doing this adds iron to your food that can be easily absorbed by your body. Cooking them in cast iron increases the iron content in apples 21 times! (Also, cooking tomato sauce in cast iron increases iron content 9 times.)
5. Let garlic rest after chopping
Resting garlic after chopping, mincing or crushing it (before cooking) allows the production of very important compounds related to heart health and cancer risk reduction.
6. Allow potatoes to cool
This increases the resistant starch in them, which acts more like a fiber than starch. Research has shown it can decrease calorie and carbohydrate absorption from the potato while bumping up fat burning by more than 20 percent! Resistant starch also helps increase hormones that give us the signal to stop eating when we're full.

Ecological pyramids were developed by Charles Elton and are, therefore, also called Eltonian pyramids. An ecological pyramid is the representation of energy flow in an ecosystem. It can be upright, inverted or spindle shaped depending on the type of pyramid. There are three types- energy, biomass and number at each trophic level, that is parasitic, aquatic or terrestrial ecosystems.

The LGBTQIA+ spectrum has always been part of society, but history has marginalised its narrative. This pride month, let’s delve into myth and mythology, and explore the characters and stories hidden by the mainstream. Indian culture and mythology have been perceived as patriarchal, rigid, classist, casteist and heteronormative by most modern thinkers, especially those who are Indian. However, growing up reading stories from mythology, reading comics like Amar Chitra Katha that made Indian mythology accessible to kids, I can think of so many characters and narratives that defied those labels.
At the core of these narratives are the ideas of gender fluidity and defying labels of male/female. Many stories from Indian myth – told and untold – have cross-dressing men, masculine women, people that come under neither and both categories, people that were born a certain way and then changed their gender/sexual identity. These stories were told aplenty by the narrators of the past, because they believed these stories deserved a space in the narrative.
Shikhandi – an embodiment of queer identity, was the pivotal factor in changing the course of the Indian epic Mahabharata. He was born a woman, raised as a man, taught how to fight, to battle, and was married to a woman. A Yaksha (nature-spirits or demigods that appear a lot in Indian mythology) later granted him his own manhood. Shikhandi is a character that would today be called a transgender man. There are many other characters like him. Yuvanashva was a king who drank some water meant for a rishi’s wife. He became pregnant with his son Mandhata, who was blessed by the gods on his birth. Draupadi – the female protagonist of Mahabharata, and Shikhandi’s sister – was the wife of five brothers. One of her husbands, Arjuna, who is seen as the embodiment of the male warrior, sought refuge in a king’s harem dressed as a transgender woman and taught music and dance.
Queer characters in Indian mythology are present in abundance. The queer narrative was part of the mainstream, but was later shunned by an increasingly heteronormative, homophobic society. But what do these stories tell us? They are a testament to the fact that traditionalism does not imply close-mindedness. They tell us that no identity is restricted by boundaries. Everybody has some queer in them, and exclusive all-male/all-female labels cannot be applied to every human being. In fact, the fluidity in personal identity is embraced to such an extent in Indian mythology that some characters are not just a mix of genders, but a mix of species – like the elephant-headed god Ganesha. People are messy and they cannot be compartmentalised into rigid labels.
In a previous blog post, I spoke about how Purush – pure consciousness, and Prakriti – matter, combine to create everything in the world. Every object in this universe – living and non-living – is made of Purush and Prakriti. Purush is traditionally seen as male, and Prakriti as female. But both these elements are what make up each and every human being. Every human being has male and female in them. Indian mythology has seen Lord Shiva as the representation of Purush, and his wife Parvati as that of Prakriti.
There are stories about Shiva merging Parvati into his body such that one half of him is male, and the other half is female. This particular form of Shiva is called ‘Ardhanareshwara’. ‘Ardha’ means half, ‘nari’ means woman, and ‘ishwara’ means god. In this form, Shiva is both male and female at the same time. Shiva is a god, he is the penultimate of the masculine form. He is depicted as what can clearly be perceived as androgynous. This form of Shiva, in some texts, is what inspired the creator, Brahma, to imbibe the universe with both male and female energies. Ardhanareshwara – the supreme being – is non-dual. They are both male and female, not one or the other. And that image itself is beyond these dualities. They are the ultimate fusion of the Purush and the Prakriti – the male and the female combined to create a form that is beyond sex and gender.
Defiance of traditional heterosexual norms are found to be plenty in myth and mythology. The nature of human identity is multi-layered and fluid. While the world loves to categorize and bifurcate the male and the female, mythology and folklore shows that the condition of human existence is a spectrum. It moves between its expressions. That’s what makes it beautiful and worth living.
Storytellers of the past have acknowledged that, and we must too. These narratives are stories of pride, and of tolerance. Yoga speaks of conquering the mind, and that philosophy does not differentiate between gender and sexuality. Yoga is born from this tradition of mythology I just elaborated upon. It is born from a free and tolerant society. With the right intention and effort, anyone can lead a yogic life. And this attitude is what we must embrace this pride month. We must learn from our past stories, and work towards creating a more free and tolerant society. Let’s celebrate the stories of our LGBTQIA+ community. Happy pride month!

First of all, trap here is a technical soccer term: it's the action of stopping the ball with your foot, so you can more easily aim your next kick. You can see a demonstration in this video.
This passage is using a common idiom in English: if you want to say that someone is really bad at a certain task, you suggest that even if the task were changed to make it extremely easy, they still couldn't do it. Some examples:
Someone who is bad at shooting: He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. (A barn is a large building and should be really easy to hit - someone who can't even do that must be really bad.)
Someone who's not good at convincing people to do things: He couldn't sell a bucket of water to a bloke [man] in burning trousers. (Someone whose trousers were on fire would be very eager to buy a bucket of water, but this person couldn't even make that sale.)
Someone who's stupid: He couldn't pour water out of a boot if you told him the instructions were on the bottom. Pouring water out of a boot is really easy, you just turn it over. If someone were really stupid, they might need instructions. If you told them the instructions were on the bottom, they would hopefully turn the boot over to read the instructions - when they turn it over, the water would pour out. If they still couldn't figure it out, they must be really, really stupid.
In this example, trapping a soccer ball is not that difficult. If you replaced the soccer ball with a bag of cement, which is very heavy and doesn't roll, bounce, or move much at all, trapping it would be extremely easy. So someone that couldn't even trap a bag of cement would be really bad at that skill.
These are all examples of humorous exaggeration or hyperbole.
The overall meaning is if he is really bad at trapping the ball, he isn't going to get goals.

“The Jewish tradition of Learning – is Learning. Adam chose knowledge instead of immortality.”
The Jew’s attraction to the worlds of study and education was a unique historical phenomenon.
Why were the Jews called “the people of the book” by the Muslims or “a race of philosophers” by Theophrastus Aristotle’s pupil and successor? Why were they sought-after advisors to kings and leaders? What enabled them to punch well “above their weight” in literature, academia and science?

Sceattas – Silver Coinage
During the seventh century, the North Sea region became a vibrant economic area.
In the second half of the seventh century, silver coinage (commonly called ‘sceattas’ or ’deniers’) began to appear in northern Europe and Scandinavia. Their distribution is shown on the map on the right.
Around this time, settlement sites known to archaeologists and historians as ‘emporia’ or ‘wics’ began to appear around the North Sea coast and in Scandinavia. They seem to have been specialised trading settlements involved in international trade in luxury goods and sometimes showing evidence of a heavy concentration of crafts such as metal working, bone and antler working, and minting.
The map shows the distribution of this coinage.

Being overly critical of yourself goes hand in hand with low self-esteem. Constructive criticism can be appropriate, healthy, and helpful at times; however, being overly critical is not. When you’re overly critical, you might have unreasonable expectations, exaggerate the negatives or you might be extremely judgmental of yourself. For healthy self-esteem, it’s important to see yourself in a healthy, balanced way. To do that, you need to stop being overly critical of yourself. These tips will help you to stop being too critical of yourself:
Check for signs of being overly critical
Notice your thoughts, words, actions and patterns you repeat. These might include putting yourself down or talking about yourself in a negative light. Stop putting yourself down because it’s a form of emotional bullying.
See the positives as well as the negatives
Pay attention to the good things about yourself and get a more balanced picture. Everyone has their positives and negatives, and it’s important to stop exaggerating the negatives. Most importantly, don’t believe your negative thoughts because they distort the picture.
Try to balance feelings with thoughts
It can be easy to be soaked in your feelings and act according to emotion. However, just because you feel worthless doesn’t mean you are, and it’s important to not draw conclusions based on feelings alone. It might help to see things as an unbiased outsider and consider a rational as well as feelings point of view.
Have reasonable expectations of yourself
It’s important to have healthy standards that are right for you. Having goals and aiming high is good but you need to stop being a perfectionist. It’s also important to stop comparing yourself to other people and avoid being overly competitive. Life is not a competition and you have your own journey. Look after yourself rather than focusing on other people’s expectations and comparisons.
Learn constructive criticism and let go of judgement
Learn to be constructive so you can learn and grow, both from your mistakes and areas you want to improve. Ask yourself what you could have done differently or what you could do better next time. At the same time, also reflect on what you did well. For example, if you have social anxiety, turning up where there is people can be a big achievement.
Do not overgeneralise
Overgeneralisation is distorted thinking and it’s not helpful. You’re not “stupid” or “worthless” or “ugly” and it’s important to stop making those generalisations.
Learn to love yourself as a whole person. Self-love is important for healthy self-esteem. It’s important to love yourself in your entirety, as you are right now, including your imperfections. Nurture yourself and treat yourself as a best friend. Give yourself permission to be happy because you deserve it.

There have been debates if some dog breeds need to be given vaccination or not. For example, some say there are so many vaccinations that are not necessary. Some say it is compulsory. The chihuahua owner can choose whichever he or she finds solace in. Chihuahua Vaccines are very important.
Vaccination helps to improve the dog’s immunity to disease. There are regular vaccinations that the chihuahua needs to take. One good example is the rabies vaccine. a lot of dog breeds are healthy dogs but there are still susceptible to some diseases. Taking them for vaccination is a sensible decision that chihuahua owners should take. The problem you will face when your chihuahua contracts a disease is far more than the risk of vaccination. You have to know there are side effects when you give your chihuahua vaccines.
Schedule for vaccination
The first dose of vaccination is administered in the sixth week. The second dose should come between the ninth and tenth weeks. Then followed by the third dose, between the twelfth and fourteenth week. Another method is to start in the sixth week, after that, every three weeks interval. While some start at the sixth week as usual and after that, every four weeks interval. You can give vaccination to your chihuahua yourself except the vaccine for rabies. It must be administered by the veterinarian only.
How to give your chihuahua a vaccine yourself?
Giving vaccines to your chihuahua is not rocket science, you can do it. But there are some risks that the owner can face. There are times that chihuahuas go into shock when they are given vaccines. This can happen to anyone even professionals. What is important is to know how to manage the situation. Administer the vaccine under the skin. And in the case of occurrence of Anaphylactic shock, epinephrine should be administered. But in all, it is better to seek the service of a veterinarian in case of an emergency you cannot handle.
Types of vaccine
Vaccines are of two types; Core vaccines and Non-core vaccines. The core vaccines are the ones administered to your chihuahua routinely while the non-core vaccines are administered when there is the likelihood that the chihuahua has been exposed to a disease.
Your chihuahua, if exposed to stagnant water, lakes, or streams it can be susceptible to Giardia. Most often, your dog’s immune should suppress the disease but if the immune system fails to, the result can be disturbing. What you should look for is how your chihuahua’s feces. It usually has a foul smell with diarrhea. All other things will be alright with the dog but your chihuahua may slump and die suddenly. You should visit a veterinarian with the dog if you notice this.
Lyme disease does not affect wild and hunting dogs only. Domesticated dogs too can also have the disease. Always administer tick repellant if your chihuahua mixes with other dogs or you take it out for a walk.
If there is an epidemic of canine distemper in your neighborhood. The vaccine used to vaccinate humans against measles can be administered by your veterinarian to your chihuahua for protection. There are some antigens in the human measles virus that act against canine distemper.
Vaccine for rabies
You will need to vaccinate your chihuahua against rabies. The law requires you to vaccinate your dogs against rabies. If your chihuahua bites someone and the authority discovered that it is not vaccinated against rabies, it may get you into trouble. At three to four months, your dog will take the first vaccine against rabies. And after a year, the second dose of the vaccine should be taken.
Side effects associated with chihuahua vaccine
There are two types of side effects to watch out for;
The mild ones are fever, pain, and sleepiness.
The severe ones include vomiting, swelling, and shock. The swelling of the face is common or swelling of the mouth. Vomiting is usually within the first 10 hours after vaccination
After every vaccination, you have to keep an eye on your chihuahua for some hours. Because This is to ensure there is prompt attention in case the side effects turn into an emergency.
It is important to know that vaccinating your chihuahua will cost you some bucks. So prepare yourself to spend some money at the veterinarian’s office. Taking good care of your dog is imperative. Your little chi needs vaccines just like humans. Chihuahuas are susceptible to transmittable disease especially if they mix with other dogs.

Common name: Gold Tiger Barb, Sumatra Barb
Scientific name: Puntius Tetrazona
Average Adult Fish Size: 2.8 inches / 7 cm
Place of Origin: Indonesia and Malaysia
Typical Tank setup: A well planted aquarium with rock work and driftwood / bogwood. Plants will give the weaker individuals a place to hide, until the pecking order of the school is established.
Recommended Minimum Aquarium Capacity: 30 gallon / 120 litre
Compatibility: This fish needs to be kept in schools. The larger the school the better with 9 fish a good minimum amount. If kept in smaller schools the weaker individuals will be harassed continuously by the more aggressive individuals until they die. Tiger Barbs have a tendency to nip the fins of slow fish and ones that have long flowing fins. The way to combat this is to keep them in a large enough school. If this is done, they will generally keep themselves busy within the school and usually not bother their tankmates too much. If kept with smaller fish, they too should be kept in a school.
Temperature: 68 – 79 Deg F / 20 – 26 Deg C
Water chemistry: pH 6.0 – 8.0
Feeding: Omnivorous. They should be fed a varied diet of flakes, small pellets, frozen and live foods such as daphnia and brine shrimp. Blood worms and brown worms can also be fed as a treat, but do not feed worms very often as they can cause bloat.
Sexing: Sexing Gold Tiger Barbs is not very hard, since the female Tiger Barb is larger than the male and sports a rounder belly. The male have a distinctive red nose, and above the black part of his dorsal fin you can see a characteristic red line. The dorsal fin of the female is mainly black.
Breeding: If you want to breed freshwater Gold Tiger Barbs in captivity, the best method is to keep a shoal of Gold Tiger Barbs together and let them form their own pairs. It a good idea to use a well planted aquarium since Gold Tiger Barbs eat their own eggs, as well as eggs laid by other fishes. Removing the adult fish after spawning is therefore recommended.
Additional Information: Varieties include the normal tiger coloration, but green, black, gold, and albino Tiger Barbs with regular and long fins are also available. The average life- span in a well kept aquarium is 6 years.

Aboriginal name: Bandin (ban’deen). The same name is also used for the White-cheeked Honeyeater.
Distribution: New Holland Honeyeaters are found from north of Perth, throughout the southwest to near the South Australian border. The eastern population is found from west of Spencer gulf in South Australia, along the south coast and north to north of Brisbane in Queensland. They are also found in Tasmania.
Description: New Holland Honeyeaters are up to 20cm long with a 23cm wingspan.
Notes: The furthest distance recorded by the Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme for this species of bird to travel is 330 km. The oldest bird recorded was still alive when its band was read in April 1984, 14 years 5.2 months after being banded (information as at 21 June 2012).

Ironically, the misuse of “premise” to mean a dwelling or habitation is based on an erroneous premise: One house, two houses; one business, two businesses. But there is no singular of “premises” when it refers to land and buildings.
The word “premise,” meaning “a proposition that supports a conclusion,” can be plural—“premises.”
Both words probably have the same Latin root—“what comes before.” The proposition comes before the conclusion, clearly. In the case of the land and buildings, deeds and title documents used the word “premises” to avoid repeating the full legal description. “Premises” just meant “that place we’re talking about.”
If you hear someone using “premise” as a singular for anything other than a logical proposition, just order them off the premises.

Exercise one. As telekinesis is associated with brain function, then its development requires a great desire. Feel inside the intensifying desire to develop telekinetic abilities. Feel the force that can act on objects. Close your eyes and imagine how you can easily move the items. Focus on your imaginary picture. Do this exercise several times a day.
Exercise the second. Make a very light paper cone spiral shape and hang it on the string. Stand in front, close your eyes and mentally feel the energy in the solar plexus. Open your eyes and exhale send it on your fingertips first right and then left hand.
Exercise third. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, hands pull ahead and expand your palms to face each other at a distance of 30 centimeters. Feel the tingling in the palms and the density of the air between them. Place between the palms spiral paper cone and sending energy to the tips of your fingers, easily rotate it in different directions.
Exercise the fourth. Once you will train the concentration, proceed to more complex exercises. Take in the left hand teaspoon, and the right start slowly stroking it in the thinnest point. Visualize that it bends, at the same time focusing her attention on the spoon. Send energy, feeling like the metal is getting soft in his hands and begins to bend.

A STUDY OF TEACHER AND STUDENT RELATIONSHIP IN MATHS IN A GYMNASIUM SCHOOL IN CYPRUS
For academic growth in mathematics to be achieved, a good relationship between a student and a teacher has to exist. Being able to come up with a positive relationship may prove to be tasking. It is however easy to create a good learning environment. Learning is a two way process since both parties get to learn from each other. The student’s responsibility is to learn mathematics from the teacher while the teacher is supposed to work on their skills of teaching to ensure that lessons are interesting and easy to be understood (Goddard, 2016). A study on a gymnasium school in Cyprus helped explain how students view the relationship that exists between them and the mathematics teacher and the effect the relationship has on their engagement. The study also explains how teachers of Maths view the relationship they have with their students and the effect it has on their engagement.
Students view their relationship with their Maths teacher as supportive. There are students who do better in mathematics than others in the class. The teacher however handles each student as an individual in most cases. After teaching a certain aspect in class, students take turns in approaching the teacher in instances when they need clarification. At the end of the day, all the students understand the concept. The students are therefore in a position to participate in class and move forward as a team. By showing a level of keenness to assist students in hardships, the students work hard to ensure that they create a sense of pride in their teachers.
Students also view their relationship with the Maths teacher as one filled with mutual respect, great trust and good feedback. The mathematics teacher tends to show that they respect the students by accommodating their opinions and answers in class. The opinion does not have to be right but by accommodating the students, a sense of belonging is created. Good feedback and trust is illustrated when a teacher tells a student that they are good performers and that they can do much better. It also involves giving praises to students with approval words and applauses of celebration. Students are motivated to work harder and do better once the teacher shows that they believe in them.
Maths teacher view the relationship with their students as one which is characterized by true equity. The teachers ensure that they maintain fairness when dealing with each student by giving each of them an equal opportunity to learn. Equal division of textbooks and mathematical instruments is exercised. They also avoid a situation where they have their favorites in class since it may create resentment among other students who may feel like they are marginalized. They give student a chance to equally participate in class activities such as answering of questions. According to Hill (2015) the effect of equity on engagement is that each student feels that their presence is appreciated and their confidence on the subject is enhanced.
The teachers also believe that good and consistent communication exists between them and the students. The teachers create an environment where students can express their academic needs and how the teacher can work on the teaching habits to enhance effective learning in the class. It may be hard for a teacher to cater and understand the problems of each student in class but being able to acquire a general idea shapes communication. As a result, students feel the right to be open to the teacher and it becomes easier for the student to approach the teacher whenever they need intervention.

Bichat, Marie François Xavier(redirected from Bichat, Marie Francois Xavier)
Bichat, Marie François Xavier(märē` fräNswä` zävyā` bēshä`), 1771–1802, French anatomist and physiologist. He studied the tissues, giving them that name and classifying them into 21 types; this work was the basis of modern histology. He wrote Traité des membranes (1800), Recherches physiologiques sur la vie et sur la mort (1800), Traité d'anatomie descriptive (1801–3, in 5 vol.), and Anatomie générale (1801).
Bichat, Marie François Xavier
Born Nov. 14, 1771, in Thoirette; died July 22, 1802, in Paris. French anatomist, physiologist, and physician.
Bichat studied at Montpellier, Lyon, and Paris. He worked as a physician in a Paris hospital from 1799 to the end of his life. Bichat created a scientific classification of tissues, which, according to his theory, unite into systems (for example, bones and muscles) and form organs of the body. The terms “tissue” and “system” were first introduced into medicine by Bichat. According to Bichat, the totality of systems and their elementary functions constitute the life processes of the body. In his Weltanschauung, Bichat was an idealist who believed in the presence of a life-force which is unknowable and distinguishes the animate from the vegetable and inanimate.

Thermoplastics in Microfluidics
Thermoplastics are widely used for producing microfluidic chips. These materials appear to be promising due to decreasing costs of chips if produced at amounts of thousands of pieces by injection moulding, i.e. at commercial scale. All thermoplastics demonstrate similar properties: They are solid at room temperature and can be reheated and reshaped several times, showing a good mechanical stability and a low water absorption. In addition, all of them have a good biocompatibility profile. While designing microfluidic chips, the optical properties and chemical resistance have to be considered. For example, it would not be a good idea to desinfect a PMMA chip with isopropanol.
Examples of thermoplastic materials:
– Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)
– Polycarbonates (PC)
– Cyclic olefin copolymer (COC)
– Polystyrene (PS)

Bank assets such as deposits and loans are considered liabilities in the traditional banking system. However, blockchain technology mitigates this risk because it cannot be counterfeited or hacked. With a decentralized ledger of transactions on open-source networks like Ethereum, data is transmitted without needing to rely on third parties for validation purposes.
What are considered liabilities for a bank?
Liabilities are the debts or obligations of a company. They can be short-term or long-term and they can be financial, operational, or reputational in nature.
What is the main asset for a bank?
The main asset for a bank is the money that they have on hand. Banks are able to borrow from other banks and use this money as collateral to secure loans, which can then be lent out again.
What are considered liabilities?
Liabilities are things that can be seen as a risk to the company. They could be anything from legal issues, to environmental concerns, or even financial risks.
What are the 4 types of liabilities?
Liabilities are the debts or obligations of a person or company to other people. There are four types of liabilities:
1) Financial Liabilities
2) Environmental Liabilities
3) Legal Liabilities
4) Personal Liabilities
What are the two main types of liabilities?
Liabilities are the debts that a company has to its creditors. There are two main types of liabilities, current and long term. Current liabilities are those that have been incurred in the current accounting period, whereas long-term liabilities are those that have been incurred over a longer period of time.
What are financial liabilities examples?
Financial liabilities are debts that you owe to someone else. They can be in the form of a loan, a credit card bill, or an unpaid tax bill. Examples of financial liabilities include:
– A loan from your bank
– A credit card debt
– An unpaid tax bill
What are the 3 main characteristics of liabilities?
Liabilities are the debts, losses, and other obligations that a company or individual owes to creditors. They are also the assets of companies and individuals that they owe to creditors.
What are business liabilities?
Business liabilities are the risks that a company has to take in order to stay in business. These include things like debt, lawsuits, and environmental regulations.
What are financial liabilities on a balance sheet?
A financial liability is an obligation of a company or individual that must be paid off over time. This can include the cost of debt, unpaid bills, and other obligations that are not yet due.
What is the most liquid form of savings?
Savings are liquid assets that can be converted into cash. They are typically held in a savings account, but they can also be held in a checking account or as a bond.
What is balance sheet of commercial bank?
A balance sheet is a financial statement that shows the assets, liabilities, and capital of a company. It is also called an income statement or profit and loss statement.
What are short term liabilities examples?
Short term liabilities are the risks that a company has in the short-term, which can be caused by both internal and external factors. They are usually incurred when a company is not prepared for an event that they cannot control.
What are the three major sources of bank liquidity?
The three major sources of bank liquidity are deposits, loans, and securities. Deposits come from people who have money in their bank account. Loans are given to people by banks for a certain amount of time in which the person pays back the loan with interest. Securities are investments made by banks that can be bought or sold on the market.
What is bank liquidity?
Bank liquidity is the amount of money that banks have on hand to lend out. It is a measure of how much capital banks have available, and it can be measured as a percentage or in terms of billions of dollars.
How do banks increase liquidity?
Banks increase liquidity by increasing the amount of money they have in their vaults. This is done by borrowing from other banks, selling securities, and issuing new loans.

In the dark forest of Crossroads at Big Creek’s Ida Bay Preserve, flowers are blooming near Zenith Street. When these flowers called beech drops bloom, most people overlook them. These wildflowers tend to blend in with fallen leaves and the people who do notice them assume they are pinkish-brown twigs on the forest floor.
Beech drops, though aesthetically unremarkable, are amazing plants and parasites. They have tiny, scale-like leaves, but they do not contain chlorophyll and must depend on the sugars and nutrients provided by the roots of a beech tree.
The blossoms of the plant are inconspicuous – white with brownish purple stripes. The flowers at the top of the flower stalk open, but the lower flowers never bloom. The plants reproduce through self-pollination. During the winter rains, the seeds of these annual parasites will be planted and germinate the following spring. In a beech/hemlock forest, shade is so deep that even in early spring, most wildflowers simply cannot grow. Beech drops can, so under almost every beech tree in the region throughout the fall, beech drops bloom.
On Nov. 18 at 10 am, go on a nature hike in search of beech drops at Ida Bay Preserve. In the event of light snow, hikers will still find these unusual flowers. Meet at the Zenith Street entrance (between Canal and Cove roads). This hike is free and open to the public.
Also on Nov. 18, at 7 pm, the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society will hold a public viewing night at the Leif Everson Observatory and StarGarden, located at 2200 Utah Street. In addition to familiar fall constellations, the viewing targets will be the Pleiades, M 34, and possibly a few meteors from the Leonid Shower (which peaks Friday night/Saturday pre-dawn). Viewing nights are free and open to all ages.
Crossroads is a donor-supported learning preserve made up of The Cove, Big Creek and Ida Bay preserves. The Collins Learning Center, located at 2041 Michigan, is open 2 – 4:30 pm daily and during scheduled events. The preserves and restrooms are open, free of charge, 24/7.

Cellulose is a natural compound consisting of dimethylarginine, dimethicone, and cellulose. This natural mixture is comprised of four amino acids, which are cysteine, glycine, arginine, taurine, and methionine. The human body naturally produces this compound from carbohydrates, protein, and fats.
Cellulose is formed from undigested protein, carbohydrates, fats, and algal algae through an organism called cellulose reducer. Cellulose reducers are found in many plants and animals. For example, grasses, seeds, grains, and nuts contain this plant material. Some plants, such as corn, wheat, and rice, are genetically modified to produce higher levels of cellulose. In animals, cellulose can be found in skin, hair, bones, and teeth.
The structure of cellulose consists of two long chains connecting each other with a single bond. The long chains are made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Each hydrogen atom has one electron floating around in the hydrogen orbital. The hydrogen combines with an oxygen atom to make a new compound. This new compound is a molecule known as cellulose. This molecule contains three to nine molecules depending on the number of atoms in the new structure.
This cellulose molecule is unique because it has only a single hydrogen bonding with an oxygen atom. This hydrogen bonding is essential to the formation of the cellulose molecule. Since cellulose only has a single hydrogen atom it cannot exist in a complex environment. Therefore, the molecule is very simple and consists mainly of water. It is the complex structure of the cellulose molecule that allows it to be able to attach to many different gels, fats, proteins, and algae.
During protein synthesis, the structure of the cell membrane allows the numerous strands to bind together with other strands of the same color. The numerous strands are actually glucose molecules that have been broken down into simple sugars. This carbohydrate polymerization is important in the formation of the blood, stomach, liver, pancreas, and many other important locations throughout the body.
This is where the uniqueness of cellulose comes from. The numerous strands are actually composed of two types of molecules. One of the two is cellulose and the other is a polysaccharide. The polysaccharide is made up of one or more sugar molecules bonded together with a short chain of glucose residues. As the glucose molecules travel around the body they bump into the cellulose molecules and break them down.
The numerous chains will bond with either an L-glutamine or an I-glutamine and then the L-glutamine will bind with one of the polysaccharides and create a longer linear chain. This longer linear chain is then released, travels around the body, and begins to breakdown any fat cells that are present in the body. As the body’s blood stream or lymph flow absorbs the cellulose, the longer linear chains are deposited in the fat cells. This triggers a series of chemical reactions that cause the formation of a cellulose molecule.
So, what does all this have to do with plants? The reason why cellulose may be found in plants instead of other substances is due to the fact that plants contain a much higher concentration of water and oil than other foods. Water and oil act as a cushion against the force that the cellulose will exert on its way down the cell wall and into the bloodstream. Therefore, plants are a better choice for consumption than other foods because they are much more likely to be broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream where it can combat any forces that may try to get through the small cellular wall. Plus, plants contain fibrous protein, a type of non-protein amino acid that helps the body create its own collagen and elastin.

[Autom. eng. transl.] Due to the epidemiological dimension, Rotavirus gastroenteritis has a strong impact on the health of the child community and an important economic burden for public health. For these reasons, the development of an anti-Rotavirus vaccine has been considered a priority of the scientific community since as early as the 1970s. The first oral anti-Rotavirus vaccine was Rotashield® (Wyeth-Lederle Vaccines), authorized in the United States in 1998 and withdrawn a few months later following the confirmation of the important risk of intestinal intussusception (11-21 for 100,000 vaccinated). In 2006, two new-generation and orally administered anti-Rotavirus vaccines were approved by EMA (European Medicine Agency): Rotarix® (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) and RotaTeq® (Sanofi Pasteur MSD). The Rotarix® is, in particular, the subject of this ethical evaluation in a process of Health Technology Assessment (HTA).

15 THINGS CHILDREN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MONEY…
Leaving an inheritance for your kids isn’t enough — they must know how to manage the money, or they’ll likely end up wasting everything you worked so hard to save up for them. Teaching kids about money is an intentional process. Unless you make money skills a priority, you aren’t likely to succeed. You need to create a plan for financially educating your children.
Here are 15 things every kid should know about money — hopefully these skills and beliefs will stick with them for life.
1. Money isn’t magical. It doesn’t magically appear or disappear.
2. Earning money is a privilege, not a right. Nothing is free in life, and a respectful attitude about earning money is necessary. Not everyone has the ability to work, nor does everyone have a job. Be thankful when you’re given the opportunity to earn your own money.
3. Wasting money adversely affects you AND others. You can influence others in your family and your community by encouraging good or bad spending habits. Just like someone is always setting an example for you, you are always setting an example for others.
4. Saving up for a wanted item is not the same as saving long term. While delayed gratification is a necessary money skill, it’s separate from creating a savings plan.
5. Giving to others isn’t about charity; it’s about investing in the lives of those you’re inspired to help.
6. Giving financially to others does not make you superior to them. Someday, you may need to ask for financial help yourself.
7. Sometimes, circumstances dictate our financial situations (ie. recession, natural disasters, lottery winnings, death, job loss) and no amount of good or bad planning is responsible for the end result. Good money management builds character and increases your chances of doing well financially. Though it won’t guarantee a stable financial future, it will help you deal with life with grace and integrity.
8. Learn to be content with what you have, but never stop dreaming big.
9. Mistakes happen. You’ll lose money, but it’s part of the learning process.
10. Don’t be afraid to try new investment strategies.
11. Never stop learning about money management.
12. Spend time with people who manage their money well and listen to their beliefs about money.
13. Read books about managing money. Even if you don’t understand everything, you’ll pick up a few terms or ideas to help you grow your understanding of financial management.
14. Even the lowest denomination matters.
15. Self-reflection is an excellent teacher. Frequently take time to examine how you feel about money and the lessons you’re learning… Giztzzz… madetv!

How does a fly c.?
Flies have compound eyes, which are made up of thousands of individual visual receptors, so what they see is more like a mosaic. They also send visual data to their brains four times faster than we can, which means that they literally see everything in slow motion.

Scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles, irradiated Venus with radio waves for 15 years and received the reflected signal. As a result, were able to calculate the duration of the day on the planet as accurately as possible. It turned out that it always changes by at least 20 minutes because of the massiveness of the planet's atmosphere.
On average, a day on Venus lasts 243.0226 Earth days, which is almost eight months. The planet's rotation speed is not constant because the atmosphere exchanges a large number of impulses with the solid surface of the planet. They either speed up or slow down Venus.
Similar processes also take place on Earth, but we do not notice them. The effect of the atmosphere subtracts or adds only one millisecond from or to the day.
The situation on Venus is more dramatic because its atmosphere is 93 times heavier than Earth's. It is 96% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen. The pressure on the planet's surface is equivalent to that of the ocean at a depth of 900 meters.
Calculating the length of the day is important for future space missions. Due to the difference in 20 minutes, the devices can land 30 kilometers from the planned location.

You chose A (cup of tea) from A and B (espresso).
But B from A, B and C (decaf espresso).
Is your behaviour rational?
Preference reversals typically occur due to the presence or absence of irrelevant alternatives (a decaf espresso) or the framing of the decision problem (select vs. reject).
From a decision-theoretic viewpoint preference reversals are hallmarks of decision irrationality.
Preference reversals have been well documented but not fully understood at the mechanistic level. We aspire to do so at various levels (computational, algorithmic, neural) and to provide a neurophysiologically grounded theory of human decision-making.
High-level decisions cannot be readily understood in information processing terms. This is why we study preference reversals using psychophysics and neuroimaging (MEG).These techniques allow us to trace the flow of decision-related information, from the sensory input to the motor output.
En route to understanding preference reversals we are intrigued by a series of related questions. For instance, how do people respond to risk, how do they weight information in perceptual decisions, how do they decide when to decide, how do they learn values from experience, and how does attentional selection work?

Technology has shaped our current stay and has simplified many things. Technological advances power everything we do today. Besides, how we use it will determine the outcome.
It is evident how technology has made the lives of ordinary people more meaningful. It has also promoted learning by providing the best environment for students, and this is evident across the globe for the benefits that come with using technology.
This article points out how technology adds value to students’ lives in their quest to realize their educational aims. It is clear that without technology, learning would not be more engaging as it is now. There are many things to support the use of technology in the classroom, as outlined in this piece.
Promotes Handy Access to Information
Students benefit from technology in many different ways. First, it has promoted convenient access to information. Initially, learning was confined to the four walls of a classroom. That has changed because it is easy to access information.
You can get access to information at any time. Thanks to the internet and mobile devices that have made this possible.
Allows Learners to Get Detailed Information
As time goes by, many discoveries make a lot of things obsolete. Information also degrades with discoveries. Some findings change what we used to know, while others enhance the knowledge at our disposal. So, technology is leading in providing the information we need in education. Instead of waiting to get a printed hard copy of a new textbook, which takes years, you can get things as they happen on the internet.
Right now, students are not limited to what they learn in the classroom. They can find detailed information on various discoveries and subjects easily. Learners who are curious and need to know more can look up anything from the internet.
Technology Has Promoted Active Participation
Learners can now take an active part in the educational process. Apart from following what is provided in the books, they can go the extra mile to find more answers about a particular issue. It makes learning more engaging and helps them to gather more information.
Students find different perspectives that enhance their understating, which makes them more interested in the subject. They can also find support from an online essay writer to complete their assignments comfortably.
Results to Greater Productivity
Geographical locations no longer bind education. Students can get help from experts who are a mile away. It implies that learners are continually exposed to learning tools and materials that promote a better understanding. The increased access to knowledge has made learners more productive.
Offers Greater Motivation
Currently, there are many learning aids and instructional materials on all subjects. Technology has provided the best avenues to get students motivated in what they are learning. They can watch videos and movies on their favorite subject that gets them motivated.
Besides that, they can get access to motivational speakers who encourage them to keep going. All these allow learners to do well in education because they get what they need. Individuals who want to venture into businesses can also find relevant information on social media strategy for startups to grow their businesses.
Motivation is vital in life. Many students who get motivated do not struggle with learning. They become aware of what they want and the requirements to achieve their educational goals.
We cannot neglect the fact that technology has some adverse effects on learners. We understand that nothing is entirely positive or negative. Even with these benefits, some students misuse available technology.
Instead of using it to achieve their educational goals, they miss the mark because it serves as a distractor. Some learners spend a lot of time on irrelevant information that cannot add value to their education.
When technology is used correctly, it produces many positive results and helps scholars achieve their aims. There is nothing wrong with using technology because it is a plus for learners who use it correctly. The benefits of technology in the classroom are far-reaching.
As a learner, ensure you use technology correctly. Schedule everything you want to do and allocate sufficient time for learning. Take time to research and learn more about your subject. However, do not forget to follow the syllabus and prepare for your exams.
Since technology is here to stay, do not run away from it; instead, embrace it. Find educational apps to help you plan well. In the end, you will reap the benefits of your education.
