Do mosquitoes get hit by rain?
Weathering rainstorms is a very valuable trait for mosquitoes because they thrive in hot, humid climates where rain is frequent. Hu estimates that mosquitoes are hit with a raindrop about once every 20 seconds during a typical shower, according to the journal, Nature.
How long after rain do mosquitoes come out?
How Many Days After Rain Do Mosquitoes Hatch? After it rains, mosquitoes can hatch at alarming rates. It only takes 24 to 48 hours for mosquitoes to hatch.
How long does a mosquito live?
Are mosquitoes worse after rain?
It’s a well-known fact that the mosquito population in your backyard increases after it rains. After all, the rain provides them with fresh water and more places to lay their eggs. … Mosquitoes need standing water like puddles or ponds for laying their eggs.
Can mosquitoes bite through clothes?
Though they prefer direct access to blood, mosquitoes can bite through clothes if the fabric is thin and tight fitting. … While wearing long sleeves and light colors reduces the chance of a mosquito biting through clothes, it doesn’t remove the possibility. A hungry mosquito can often find an exposed place to feed.
What makes a mosquito bite itch?
When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart (proboscis) to suck up blood. As the mosquito is feeding, it injects saliva into your skin. Your body reacts to the saliva resulting in a bump and itching.
What happens to mosquitoes after they bite you?
In short, no—the mosquito does not die after biting you. After a mosquito has bitten you, the drawn blood nourishes her eggs with protein and amino acid. The female mosquito can live up to 100 days and lay anywhere between 200 to 300 eggs within her lifespan, so she is continually feeding.

It’s not uncommon for homes to have hard water, which is probably why most people don’t think it’s a problem. What a lot of homeowners don’t realize is that hard water can have negative effects on their health. If you’d like to learn how hard water impacts your health, we’ve got you covered in our brief guide below.
Potential Health Risks
To this day, no substantial evidence shows that drinking hard water relates to any serious health problems. That said, some studies have found negative effects of drinking hard water, such as increased mortality and cardiovascular disease. We can conclude that while there’s no direct correlation between drinking hard water and major health issues, it’s generally better to drink soft water. That said, if the increased sodium levels in soft water are of concern to you, you may want to consider drinking bottled water.
Drier Skin and Hair
Hard water is notorious for drying out people’s skin and hair. The result is itchy skin and dandruff. The hard water can also create what’s called hard water hair; this is when your hair has a film on it from the excess minerals. The additional minerals can also weaken your body’s pH levels, making you more susceptible to infections and causing eczema breakouts.
Now that you have a general understanding of how hard water impacts your health, you might be wondering what you can do about hard water. Most homes can benefit from water softeners; your health will thank you, but so will your appliances, shower heads, and faucets. The excess minerals in hard water can clog your pipes, ruin major appliances, and leave unappealing crusts on your shower heads and faucets.
If you need water treatment in Houston or the surrounding areas, look no further than Alamo Water Solutions. Our team has decades of experience providing water softeners to homes and businesses. Give us a call if you need help choosing a softener or if you have any questions.

This infrared color image of Enceladus was obtained by the Cassini visual infrared mapping spectrometer on March 9, 2005, when the Cassini spacecraft was 9,145 kilometers (5,716 miles) away from Enceladus.
Enceladus shows substantial differences in composition or, more likely, particle size on its surface. Redder areas correspond to larger grain sizes, and appear to be correlated with craters and ridged regions. The surface of Enceladus is nearly pure water ice; no other components have been identified yet.
The middle of the image is located at the equator near a longitude of 210 degrees. The image is about 100 kilometers (63 miles) square. The image shows the ratio of reflected light at 1.34 and 1.52 microns, wavelengths that are not visible to the human eye.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The visual and infrared mapping spectrometer team is based at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

By Anna Llenas
Color monster has lots of feelings - and a little girl helps him figure out what his feelings are through color.
Wassily Kandinsky was a musician as well as a painter—sometimes both at the same time! Kandinsky believed that paintings, like music, could express and inspire feelings in everyone. Many of his paintings have bright and bold colors that he thought connected to specific sounds and music.
How many different colors can you find? Name them.
What kinds of lines do you see? Choose a line and use your finger like a paintbrush to trace it in the air.
Can you find two boats in this painting? Can you find a city? Or do you see something else?
What color would you use to express different feelings—Happiness? Sadness? Excitement? Anger?
If this painting were a piece of music, what might it sound like to you?
by Barb Rosenstock and Mary GrandPré
Young Kandinsky - "Vasya" - wants to paint to make music. This book tells the story of his life and how his synesthesia allowed him to explore the different possibilities of art.
MAKE: Paint to music
You will need:
First, choose a special song or piece of music. Close your eyes and listen to the music. How does it make you feel? What kinds of lines, colors, and shapes do you think of as you listen to the music?
Next, listen to the music again—this time, while painting. Start with a background color (or use colored paper) to show the overall mood of the piece. Then, as you listen, paint a line that follows the melody. Pick a shape, such as a circle or square, and paint it every time you hear a part of the song that repeats. Finally, add colors inside and around the shapes that match the different feelings the music inspires in you.

Alternate Names : Eversion of the Eyelid, Outward Turning of the Eyelid
Ectropion is an outward turning, or eversion, of the eyelid margin. It may be mild or a total eversion, which exposes the mucous membrane lining underneath the lid. It usually involves the lower lid and not the upper.
What is going on in the body?
Ectropion formation may be congenital, or present at birth. Ectropion may also develop following changes in the tone of eye muscles, or the skin around the eye.
What are the causes and risks of the condition?
In younger people, ectropion may occur after an injury with scarring that causes the lid margin to relax away from the eyeball. In elderly people, the condition is often caused by relaxation and stretching of the underlying muscles in the eyelid.
Other causes of ectropion include:
severe facial nerve palsy, or paralysis
unrepaired fractures of the bones around the eye
allergies, with skin dryness and redness

Hearing is one of our most essential senses and one that we often don’t appreciate or safeguard until it’s too late. Socially, mentally and physically, our lives are enhanced with good hearing. You might not even realize how much you’re compromising your general health if you’re failing to protect your hearing or ignoring your existing hearing loss. Healthy hearing has many benefits, here are a few:
Enhanced Physical Health
After getting hearing aids, 21 percent of people who responded to a Hear The World Foundation survey reported exercising more frequently. And at least once a week, 34 percent of respondents reported undertaking some sporting activity.
Improved Mental Health
According to studies by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, hearing loss has been connected to clinical depression, and also an increased risk of suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, the use of hearing aids has been shown to help reverse or prevent many of these issues.
When you’re in a relationship, nothing is more essential than communication. This is especially true with family and friends. Hearing loss can cause miscommunication, frustration, and ill will. When you’re in public places that have a lot of background noise, wearing hearing aids will allow you to continue to participate in conversations.
Improved Cognitive Abilities
A study released in 2016 found that hearing aids can increase brain function in people with hearing loss. Hearing loss frequently disrupts cognitive abilities because your brain is completely occupied by trying to understand what other people are saying.
Reduced Tinnitus Symptoms
Individuals who cope with hearing impairment will be able to hear sounds they previously couldn’t when they use hearing aids. By increasing the stimulation between the brain and auditory pathways, hearing aids can help hide and reduce tinnitus symptoms. Hearing aids also have volume controls that let the wearer effectively mask tinnitus sounds.
Stress, fatigue, and exhaustion can be the result when you need to use extra energy to hear and understand what people are saying. As well as helping you effectively communicate, hearing aids also help you use less energy trying to hear.
You will be better able to respond to important sounds and noises when you have good hearing. Using hearing aids ensures you can hear alarms, sirens, cell phones, doorbells, and car horns, in addition to other traffic noises that identify approaching vehicles.
If you suffer from tinnitus, the condition may cause you to have headaches or even migraines which in turn can amplify tinnitus noises. Using hearing aids can decrease the effects of tinnitus, and thus minimize the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.
To ensure your children learn fundamental language and pronunciation skills, it is imperative to immediately address any hearing impairment experienced by young children who are still establishing these skills. There might be fluid inside of the child’s inner middle ears canal which may need a tube to be surgically implanted for drainage. A hearing aid might be required for more severe conditions to ensure they are learning to talk precisely and clearly.
Even adults articulate and communicate better when they have clear hearing.
Improved Confidence in The Workplace
Successful communication is essential to accomplishing your day-to-day work responsibilities. Not being capable of hearing critical conversations with your coworkers can result in misunderstandings, missed deadlines, and tasks going unfinished. Using hearing aids can help you prevent these problems, and allow you to have greater pride and fulfillment in your career. Stronger communication skills will make your relationship with your coworkers smoother also.
If you think you’re suffering from hearing loss and are fed up with missing essential conversations, you should speak to a hearing professional in your area right away. They can help you decide if hearing aids will help you hear better and enhance your overall health.

The first section of this course (Symmetry) requires you to carefully examine the three-dimensional shapes of molecules. You will quickly realize that for most people it is very difficult to almost impossible to work the more advanced problems without the use of a set of simple molecular models. If you do not already have such a set, I highly recommend you get one before class starts. It does not have to be a very expensive one. Amazon.com for example, has several that would work well. A very inexpensive alternative is to use children's modeling clay (Play-Doh) and toothpicks. You will be allowed to use these models in exams.

An undulator-based beamline was built and commissioned at the National Synchrotron Light Source to provide tunable coherent radiation in the 200–800 eV range. The low emittance of the storage ring means that the undulator source has high brightness so that a large flux of coherent x rays is delivered to experimental stations. The beamline uses a horizontally dispersing bichromator that allows two experiments to run simultaneously, making use of the first and second harmonics of the undulator output. In addition, the use of horizontally deflecting optics enables the beamline alignment to be insensitive to electron beam motion since the horizontal electron beam size is quite large. The beamline and its performance are discussed with emphasis on the optics and on stability, radiation, and vacuum considerations.

A watershed is the area of land from which water drains into a river, stream, or other waterbody.
Water flows from the land into a waterbody by way of rivers and streams, and underground through groundwater aquifers. The rivers and streams that flow into a larger waterbody are called tributaries.
The Hudson River watershed covers almost 13,400 square miles, and includes hundreds of tributary streams. Each of those smaller rivers and streams has its own watershed, and all of these parts add up to the large whole. You can learn more about the Hudson River watershed here, and our local watershed partners here.
We all live in a watershed. In fact, all land on Earth is part of a watershed! Watersheds are defined by topography and the shape of the land, just like how a bathtub collects water from the shower and the water drains in the lowest spot. Any water we see in the landscape around us, running through neighborhoods or backyards, is part of our watershed. The actions we take on the land impact our rivers and streams.
The Hudson River Watershed Alliance unites and empowers communities to protect their local water resources. Do you know which watershed you live in? Click here to find out.

|fathom events 2019 2020||0.1||0.3||3266||85|
(exact result) A furlong is a unit of length equal to 1/8th of a mile, or 660 feet. It was originally based on the length of land a team of oxen could plough without resting. A fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 feet. Its most common use is to measure the depth of water.What is the past tense of Fathom?
Here's the word you're looking for. Answer. The past tense of fathom is fathomed. The third-person singular simple present indicative form of fathom is fathoms. The present participle of fathom is fathoming.What is a phantom event?
A Phantom Event is a version of a Magic Online limited tournament in which the cards players use for the event are temporary and provided by Magic Online exclusively for the duration of the event. These temporary cards will NOT be added to the players' collections at the conclusion of the Phantom Event.What does 'difficult to fathom' mean?
When you fathom the depth of a river, sea, or ocean at a certain point you measure it. You measure the depth of an ocean in fathoms. To understand something thoroughly is to fathom it. When you say it is difficult to fathom a person's mind you mean it is difficult to understand them.

Hyperbole: How we know that $103 means $103 and $1,000 means a lot.
Ellen: Thanks for having me! Yes, I’m here to talk about how our brains recognize hyperbole. Because if you think about it, we seldom say what we mean. Ask me about holiday shopping and I might say it took forever to get a parking space at the mall. Or that it was worth it because I got the deal of the century. Taken literally, what I’m saying is completely untrue. But because our brains understand hyperbole, you immediately know what I mean.
In computer science, one of the holy grails is to teach machines to understand non-literal language like hyperbole. A computer that can understand Shakespeare is still a long way away, but a new study from the lab of Stanford psychology professor Dr. Noah Goodman gets us one step closer.
He and his students created a mathematical model of how people understand figurative language, specifically hyperbole in numbers.
Our brains do this easily, but how, exactly? When I tell my kids I used to walk fifteen miles in the snow uphill to school, they know I’m full of it. But how? How do our brains toggle between literal numbers and figurative numbers?
One thing he found is the importance of what he calls round versus sharp numbers.
So for instance, say I spot a coveted Frozen Snow Glow Elsa at a toy store. You ask me how much it costs and I say, “Oh my goodness, it was $43.” How much would you think it was?
Mignon: Probably $43.
Ellen: Right. But what if I said, “Oh my goodness, it was a thousand dollars.” How much would you think it costs then?
GG: Well, probably not a thousand, but really expensive.
Ellen: Right. So why would I say a thousand? Why wouldn’t I just say it was really expensive?

Hi welcome back to our blog!
This week in Maths we have been comparing and ordering numbers to 1000. We have also been counting in 10's and answering questions on 10 more or 10 less than a given number.
In English we have continued with The Pirates Next Door and looked at the speech bubbles used in the book. The children then wrote the speech from the book using inverted commas.
In PE we have started to learn different rugby skills including carrying and passing the ball. The children loved the PE lesson!
We hope you have a great weekend!

Middle School Science / 8th Grade
Is RFID technology an appropriate, effective way to improve schools? Why or why not?
In the culminating unit of the 8th grade course, students consider the driving question: Is RFID technology an appropriate, effective way to improve schools? Why or why not? To answer this question, students represent different stakeholders in a hypothetical school community that is considering adopting Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. This unit blends content learning related to physical and digital waves with the ethical considerations and varied perspectives inherent in the project scenario. Over the course of the unit, students create a scientific argument using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning framework to develop their stance toward adopting RFID technology. The unit ends with a simulated School Board meeting in which all stakeholders present their arguments and attempt to persuade the School Board members to vote for their proposal.
Unit length: 4 – 5 weeks (18 – 20 hours)

America has had many influential leaders over the past 200 years, including the most famous Andrew Jackson. Jackson has been seen as a very important figure in the United States history and was well known even before becoming president. Jackson was born in the Carolinas in 1767. Andrew was the youngest of three boys, raised by his Scotch-Irish immigrant parents. Jackson became a part of the army at the age of thirteen, which at that time was during the American Revolution. During his time fighting, he was captured and became a prisoner at war by the British.
Jackson had many accomplishments under his belt before he ran for president. He was the first person to represent Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives. He also served in the Tennessee superior court and the United States Senate. He was an important general in the war of 1812. Jackson successfully led the United States forces into the regional conflict called the Creek War, this was said to be part of the War of 1812. He led the American troops in many battles during his career. One of those battles, and the most important was the Battle of New Orleans.
The Battle of New Orleans was the most important of Jackson’s Career, and is the main reason he is taught and remembered today. The defeat was one of the worst suffered by the British in any war, nearly two thousand British dead to only thirteen American casualties. Soon, the Battle of New Orleans entered into American national mythology as the place where the American military defeated the soldiers who had conquered Napoleon. This battle not only made Andrew Jackson be seen as a nation hero, but made the American troops and the country itself superior. The Battle of New Orleans also helped Jackson get into office.
Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. He became president in 1829 and remained in office for two terms. Jackson came to Washington with a well-deserved reputation as an aggressive Indian fighter and dangerous military leader. Andrew was the first of the presidents to do many things. He was the first to live in a log cabin as a child, the first to be a prisoner at war, and to come from poverty growing up.
Andrew Jackson had a very successful presidency and was well respected. He was an advocate for the “common man.” This meant he was a representative of the majority in America. This helped him tremendously being that he won by popular vote. He was then known as the “people’s president”. He was very influential and his presidency was known as the Age of Jackson. As soon as Jackson got into office he began stating his demands. In his first annual message to Congress, he recommended that the Electoral College be eliminated. Jacksons greatest party battle started due to the Second Bank of the United States. He felt like this bank was a threat to traditional ideals that America endowed. His views on this earned him more than fifty six percent of the popular vote and won the approval from the American electorate.
His presidency made a greater democracy for the “common man”. This was the most important political movement for the United States at that time. Andrew Jackson played a huge role in society as he made the United States a more respectable place. Not only by the battles he won successfully, but by the advancement in the democracy at that particular time. He was hated by many but loved by so many more. Jackson embodied a new American Character. Though he was seen as a racist, his actions reflected the times in which he lived in.

I was looking for something that was hands on, visual and could be kept with kids throughout the year. That is when I came up with this little cube root booklet! It shows a cube and connects its volume to the cube root. You can find the booklet here. Take a look below.
|Step 1: Cut along the dotted lines.|
|Step 2: Put them in order and start folding them in half.|
|Step 3: Staple along the edge of the book.|
|Step 4: Fill out the information on each page. Note, the first page should set an example for how the rest of the booklet should look. As the booklet goes on, kids must fill in more and more information by themselves.|
|Step 5: Every other page, you will have to glue together.|
|Step 6: Here is an example of one of the last pages. Notice that students must label the cube and completely find volume on their own.|
|Step 7: Give the book a title (and write your name on it). I got fancy and gave mine a little binding by glueing on a red piece of card stock over the staples (totally not necessary). And voila! Your own little book of cube roots!|
Let me know how your students liked this booklet below!

Saint Menas, the miracle maker
There are many sources written in different languages (Greek, Coptic, Old Nubian, Ethiopic, Latin, Syriac, Armenian) relating to Saint Menas. However, much of their information seems contradictory. It is therefore difficult to gain a clear picture about Menas. The following seems assured:
Menas was a Roman soldier stationed in Phrygia. He abandoned his unit and converted to Christianity. On the 15 Athyr 296 AD he died as martyr and was buried at Mareotis, not far from Alexandria. On this day the Coptic church commemorates Saint Menas. His burial place became one of the most celebrated places of pilgrimage in Egypt, and was adorned with important buildings.
The early development of his cult remains little known. A first healing was
a crippled youth, who slept at the grave of Menas and became cured. Ampullae,
which were often found in Egypt, were used by pilgrims to carry water or oil
home from the tomb of Saint Menas. He is always shown between two camels,
the animals that, according to the legend, returned his body to Egypt for

Introduction: Moving Figures
This is an activity adapted from artasculoa.com/2014/05/moving-figures-inspired-by-futurism/
It has some great information including the template for the figures. Be sure to check it out for great information. This Instructable is broken down into a step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Position and Trace the Figure
Decided the movement you want your figure to take. Practice moving the figure over the page to get an idea of spacing. Select the starting position and trace the figure.
Step 2: Adjust the Figure and Trace (repeat 4 Times)
Adjust the figure to the next position and trace again. Continue this process at least 4 times until you come to the final position.
Step 3: Outline Each Figure in a Different Colour.
This process can be a bit confusing as some of the lines may be jumbled together. Make sure you take your time to ensure you are tracing the correct line. (You may wish to do this step as you go).
Step 4: Add Movement Lines
In the negative space (any space that does not have a figure in it) add in movement lines. Start with the first figure. Add 3 movement lines behind any moving body part. Then, move on to the next figure and add three movement lines behind any moving body part. Do not cross through other movement lines or figures. Repeat for all of the figures.
You can also add in curved energy lines extending from any moving limbs and heads. This will help to indicate the direction your figure is moving.
Step 5: Colour the Movement Lines
Colour in the movement and energy lines.
Step 6: Colour the Background
In order to help the figures really pop out, you will need to fill in the background. (You may want to use watercolour for this). Select a colour that contrasts nicely with the other colours you have chosen.

Elastodynamic Optical Theorem for the Evaluation of Scattering Cross-Sections for a Crack
Scattering cross-sections are calculated for a crack in three-dimensional elastic solids. The crack opening displacements are evaluated first by the boundary element methods. Then the scattering amplitudes for the crack are derived from the far-field representations of the scattered fields. In the final step to calculate the scattering cross-sections from scattering amplitudes, two methods are compared. One is the method based on the definition and here the scattering cross-section is calculated from the integration of the differential cross-sections over the solid angle. The other is the method based on the elastodynamic counterpart of the optical theorem. It is verified that the results obtained from the elastodynamic optical theorem are accurate enough to evaluate the scattering cross-section for the crack in elastic solids.

A recycling program is not complete unless it is able to recover high-quality plastic resins. Most waste is low-quality and has to be downcycled, sent to other recovery methods, or landfilled. Increasingly, people are turning to PET bottles to recycle. In third-world countries, plastic bottles are being used as construction materials. Instead of using plastic bags, people can fill up tote bags with sand and use them again. Then, the bottles are either mudded or cemented together.
Plastic recycling involves reducing the size of the pieces and reprocessing them. These resized pieces are then sold or used as raw materials or additives for asphalt. The process of breaking down the plastic allows the company to detect impurities and repurpose them. This helps reduce the cost of making new products. It is also possible to collect metal contaminants that would otherwise go to waste. If the material is clean, the reprocessing can produce high-quality and recycled products.
Most local recycling programs do not accept plastic bottles. Plastics are too brittle to be sorted and are therefore not economically viable to be recycled. Besides, these plastics degrade the quality of other recyclable materials and are not recyclable at all. In addition, recycling plastic bottles can cause environmental damage. Hence, recycling plastic is the only way to protect the environment and improve your financial position. It is essential to collect and sort your waste. You can either bring them to the nearest government facility or make them your own.
Single-stream recycling is the easiest way to recycle plastic. However, it is not the only option. You can also separate your waste yourself. In Japan, you can even separate your PET bottles. Despite its name, the recycling process can be very costly because it involves the collection of several types of materials. It is also important to keep in mind that each technique can only recycle a certain percentage of your waste. It is therefore crucial to recycle all plastics to prevent a landfill or a shortage of materials.
Recycling plastic is a critical part of end-of-life plastic management. Increased public awareness of recycling will encourage more consumers to recycle. By increasing the number of post-consumer plastic products, we can divert more waste from landfills. In addition, we can also support the recycling process by promoting the use of post-consumer plastic products. If we all take action to increase our recycling rate, we will be preventing the problem of land filling.
Different plastic recycling techniques have different goals. While mechanical recycling can help reduce landfill waste, it is not an efficient method for recycling all kinds of plastic. LDPE and PETE plastics are recyclable, but the only way to fully recycle them is to find a collection point that is near your home. Unlike a landfill, a recycling facility will not collect these types of waste. Nevertheless, it can help the environment by reducing the amount of pollution and improving air quality.

How to survive your child's adolescence
The teen years are a time of rapid change and growth. Some tension during this time is natural and normal.
And you thought the terrible twos were an experience. The teen years encompass one of the biggest periods of change, growth and adjustment that parents and kids ever face.
And that's just as it should be.
Puberty and adolescence mark the growth of your boy or girl into a young man or woman. Physical changes are just the tip of the iceberg. You don't expect them to fit into the same clothes after adolescence. You shouldn't expect them to fit the same emotional or social roles either.
With all the adjusting on both sides, it's no wonder parents and kids tend to hit rough spots—or years—during this time. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers this advice for getting your family through the teen years (somewhat) peacefully:
- Spend family time and alone time with your teen. Remind him or her often that your door is always open.
- When you're talking with him or her, listen closely and don't interrupt. Try to make sure you understand by repeating things back in your own words or asking your teen to explain it again.
- Always respect your child's feelings, whether or not you understand them.
- Criticize the actions, not the person. Try "I get upset when I find clothes on the floor" instead of "You're a slob."
- Stick to your guns on rules and limits. Teens actually see this as a form of caring.
- Remember that separating from their parents is normal and natural for teens. Try not to take it personally.
- Let your teen be who he or she wants to be instead of insisting on your own plan. Don't overreact at small matters of clothing or hairstyle.
- In times of trouble, talk to your pediatrician.

Globalisation and Deglobalisation- South Africa
13 Pages Posted: 13 Feb 2019
Date Written: December 21, 2018
South Africa is a small open economy characterised by increasing trade and financial integration since the advent of democracy in 1994. The country’s business cycle has been strongly synchronised with the rest of world, with large common shocks accounting for much of the increased synchronisation. South Africa’s major trading partners are China, Germany, India, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Exports are dominated by commodities and imports by oil and manufactured goods. Globalisation has added to the economy’s productive capacity through increased choice and cheaper inputs for production, thus relieving bottlenecks and supply side pressures on price formation. But exposure to global markets has not been entirely smooth, with some industries, such as the motor production industry, benefiting, and others, such as clothing and textile industry, suffering. The globalisation of the economy has also been characterised by a rise in immigration and emigration flows.

- Bff is an initialism of the phrase best friends forever.
- Bff has evolved into a noun that refers to a close friend.
Being someone’s bff does not mean you’re part of a club with only two members. It does, however, mean that you have a very close friend.
The Meaning of Bff
Bff is an initialism of the phrase best friend(s) forever, and it’s a term of endearment used for selected close friends. It’s been in use since at least 1996, although the concept of having a “best friend” predates the phrase.
How to Use Bff
Bff is mostly used by younger people, especially girls, in informal communication. Bff can be written in uppercase and in lowercase letters, and since it’s usually not used in formal communication, you can write it either way. If you have to use it in formal communication, however, you should remember to pick one of the two capitalization options and use it consistently.

Computerized Outline Detection of Major Organs in the Chest X-Ray
ILLINOIS UNIV AT URBANA URBANA
Pagination or Media Count:
The chest X-ray photograph is one of the most widely used diagnostic techniques for the early detection of lung and heart diseases. It is one of the few diagnostic tools which can be administered to the broad cross-section of the population. The greatest restriction to its use for widespread early detection of disease is not in the administration of the chest X-ray, but in its diagnosis. If a machine were capable of making a preliminary evaluation of the contents of a chest X-ray, it could screen out X-ray photographs which possibly contain indications of disease from those which appear to be normal. Then skilled technicians could concentrate their time on carefully examining a smaller number of X-rays which would be more likely to contain heart or lung pathologies.

This week we learned two new Hebrew letters, Nun and Sameach. Our Hebrew words were Ner Tamid, which means a light that is always lit and Sukkah. We were so lucky to have Shinishim come into our class today and learned about Israel. The shinishinim had us watch a video about Israel and then the class shared about what it meant to us. Then we looked at different pictures from Israel and shared which picture meant the most to us. In honour of Tu B’Shevat on February 11th we learned the bracha (blessing) for fruit borei pri ha’etz and ate some apples. In addition, we learned how to plant and planted our very own green vegetable that we will remember each week to water to watch it grow. Stay tuned for the results!
Next week we will continue to learn the Aleph-Bet with two Hebrew letters Ayin and Pay. The Hebrew words that we will be learning are Oogah (cake) and Parpar (butterfly). We will also begin learning about the Purim story and identifying the Megillah, Hamentashaen, and Raashan (greggor). If you could also remember to bring Tzedakah each week I would really appreciate it.

1. Temperature and Humidity
Harmful Effects: Microbiological growth, sweating at normal temperature, skin irritation, eye dryness.
2. Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) or PM (Particulate Matter)
RSPM / PM is tiny pieces of extremely fine liquids & solids that get mixed in air that we inhale. The smaller the PM, the more harmful it is; it then gets deeper into our lungs and even into our bloodstream and cause great damage to our body and system. The particulate matters are classified on the basis of their size.
3. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
5. Formaldehyde (CH2O)
CH2O gas is colourless flammable and highly reactive at room temperature. Formaldehyde poses a great health threat because of the out gassing that occurs in new products and persists for many years. Formaldehyde settles in small cavities within the products. Over time the harmful vapours are discharged into the air. Formaldehyde irritates the mucous membranes of human beings, and high concentrations are intolerable.

Image fusion is the process of extracting meaningful information from two or more images and integrating them to form one fused image. Image fusion is important within many different image processing fields from remote sensing to medical applications. The fusion of medical images taken at the same slice/part of the body by different modalities is very useful technique in medical diagnosis. Medical image fusions tried with wavelet transform methods proved to be image dependent and preservation of high frequency contents of the image. In this study, we tried with all possible transform is applied for fusion for 2D. The edges, singularities and other high frequency contents of the fused image are well represented by the curvelet transform. The curvlet based fused result is better by visual appearance and quantitative analysis than their wavelet equivalents tried with the same fusion rules.

Two Handed Viking Sword
Two handed Viking sword
10th – 11th Century A.D.
Long have the Norse sagas inspired authors, historians, poets, and filmmakers. The Icelandic and Kings sagas present some of the most culturally rich and elaborate accounts of Viking life. Through them, we learn about Norse customs, traditions, and beliefs. At the forefront of this culture, is the consideration of art as a central focal point in Norse life.
The Vikings raided and colonized wide areas of Europe between the 9th to the 11th century. Whereas the initial motives for the migrations are unknown, historians unanimously agree that their disruptive influence profoundly affected European political history and trade.
Widely recognized as superior craftsmen, the Vikings created remarkable Jewelry, Weapons, and ships, known as Drakkars or Knarrs. The Ships were not only constructed for functionality but as work of art. Viking ships were embedded with anthropomorphic figures leading insight into their beliefs and superstitions. The Viking love of riddling phrases and schemes of rhyme yielded a rich poetic tradition. This tradition found itself not only in their poetry, but also on their ships, weapons, and jewelry.
At the center of this fierce nomadic culture, stood the Viking sword. Broad blade with a deep fuller, the Two-handed Viking sword is a testament to the fierce Viking culture depicted in the Various Icelandic sagas.
Sturdy and resilient, the Two-handed Viking sword is everything a Viking weapon should be; brutish, resilient and built to last. Individually crafted by our staff, the Two-handed Viking sword is a testament to the warrior life and artistry of the Nordic peoples.
Blade: 5160 High Carbon Steel. Dual Tempered HRc 60

Wordtune Read is an online service that generates a summary of texts. The tool is aimed at reducing the time spent searching for key information in large documents.
Research conducted in the UK shows that office workers and students spend an average hour a day reading documents. Last December, it was announced that Meta was developing a tool for Facebook that would use AI to compile short extracts from articles.
In September 2021, OpenAI also demonstrated a model that generates brief contents of works of art. Wordtune Read is one of the first commercial products aimed at practical application. The developers of the service claim that the models underlying Wordtune Read and OpenAI are fundamentally different.
The algorithms underlying Wordtune Read are optimized to work with scientific publications, business reports, journal articles, blog posts and news notes. You can test the service for free here.

The joint parishes of Old Milverton and Blackdown have a rich cultural heritage. This map shows a few sites of particular significance.
1. Site of Mediaeval Village
Archaeologists have found flint tools, a possible prehistoric sherd and a Roman British Coin dating from the 3rd Century A.D. in the fields in Old Milverton. There is also an old cropmark and a Bronze Age ring ditch within the Parish. Milverton is recorded in the Domesday Book (1066) as Malvertone.
2. Guys Cliffe House
The stone chapel was built in 1430 A.D. by Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. A Tudor framed house was then constructed, which was replaced by Samuel Greathead by a new house, in the style of a Palladian mansion, around 1751. Guys Cliff House had a significant influence on the surrounding area and in particular the hamlet of Old Milverton where where estate workers lived. The gardens are now a site of Special Scientific Interest.
3. Church of St James
The church may have Saxon origins but it is known that the Norman construction was rebuilt in its present form in 1879/80. It is Grade II listed. Vera Brittain, writer, feminist and pacifist, is buried in the church yard as is Henry Jephson, who promoted the therapeutic benefits of Leamington Spa water and was instrumental in that town’s initial success.
4. Village Hall
The village hall was provided by the Heber-Percy estate for the benefit of the social life of the village and village people, most of who worked directly for the estate or indirectly for tenant farmers in the Parish of Old Milverton. The hall has been used as a schoolroom reading room and continues to be used for social occasions. It plays a significant role in the life of the church of St James Church.
5. Historic Barn
The timber-framed barn’s construction dates back to 17th century. It is a listed building for its special architectural and historic interest. A sign on the outside proclaims “Man Traps and Spring Guns on theife Premifes”.
6. Village Pound
The pound (or pinfold) was created as a place where straying animals could be locked up until their owners paid a fine for their release. It was originally situated close to the village well on Old Milverton road and is a relic of the pre-enclosure days and the lax approach to the containment of farm livestock.
7. The Village Pump
Mains water came late to Old Milverton, so villagers had to rely on their own wells and roof water collection cisterns. Those without such systems had to use the communal wells situated on Old Milverton road and at the village hall.
8. Parkhouse Farm
A Grade II listed farm house built in the mid 18th Century in sandstone ashlar.
9. Cottage Farm
A farm house listed for its special architectural and historic interest. It was constructed in the late 18th Century in brick.
10. Saxon Mill
The Saxon Mill was originally called Gibbeclive Mill in the 12th century. It was the property of St Mary’s Abbey and the Augustinian Canons until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was rebuilt in 1822 as a working mill until 1938 being part of Guys Cliffe Estate, and then known as Guys Mill. It was converted into a restaurant and bar in 1952.
11. Rock Mill
Rock Mills is believed to be the Milverton Mill listed in the Domesday Book which at one stage was a water mill used for milling grain and ‘fulling’ (treating and cleansing woollen cloth). Benjamin Smart a Leamington Quaker established a Cotton Spinning Factory in 1792; later in 1830 it was converted to a flour mill.
12. Blackdown Mill
A Grade II listed building Blackdown Mill was built in the 18th Century and has 19th Century additions.
13. Avon Valley Viaduct
The viaduct was constructed in 19th Century as a key part of the Leamington to Coventry railway line. It is a magnificent utilitarian structure which has become a greatly appreciated part of the landscape of the Avon Valley.
14. Chesford Bridge
This bridge on the Kenilworth Road is Grade II listed. Built in the 18th century it is a sandstone ashlar bridge over the River Avon.
15. Blackdown Manor
Is listed for its special architectural and historic interest. Built in the early 17th Century and remodelled in the early to mid 19th Century it was timber-framed, but largely rebuilt in sandstone ashlar.
16. Stone Seat
Installed to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.

- from Europe
There is no universal agreement on the countries that make up Southeastern Europe. (To many, western Turkey is in this region.)
However, most will agree that Southeastern Europe is home to ruins of the Roman Empire and some of the oldest cities in Europe – and the world. Southeastern Europe once included Yugoslavia, a large country. However, political conflicts in the 1990s resulted in it being divided into many smaller countries, including Croatia, Serbia, and North Macedonia.

) was a harbor city on the south coast of Spain
, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir
. It probably existed already before 1000 BC, and its inhabitants were traders, who seem to have been the ones to discover the route to the Tin Islands (Britain
or more precisely the Scilly Islands). Tin
was a much-wanted product in those days, as it was necessary for the production of bronze
, and the people from Tartessos became important trading partners of the Phoenicians
, who nearby built a harbor of their own, Gades (current-day Cadiz
). In the 6th century BC
, Tartessos disappears rather suddenly from history. One theory is that the city had been destroyed by the Carthaginians
who wanted to take over the Tartessans' trading routes.
In the Bible, Tartessos is known under the name of Tarshish. Although several finds have been made in southern Spain that are ascribed to the Tartessan culture, the city itself has not been recovered by archeologists.

The recent headlines about coyote attacks on domestic dogs are a warning that our furry friends need extra protection! Here are a few helpful tips to help you keep your pets safe:
1. Keep small animals inside. Take them outside on a leash or inside a fence designed to keep predators out.
2. Bring outdoor cats inside at night. Cats are nocturnal too, which puts them on a collision course with raccoons and coyotes. Unfortunately, the raccoon is bigger, and usually comes out the winner.
3. Don’t feed wildlife. You may be doing this without realizing it.
-a. Make sure lids on trash cans are tightly sealed.
-b. Feed your pets inside or remove pet dishes and pet food at night.
-c. Store your pet food indoors.
-d. If you have a garden, make sure it is enclosed with a fence that deters wildlife from entering.
4. Clean out brush and weeded areas where rodents might live. Coyotes love to prey on small rodents and know where to find them. Coyotes also use the heavy brush to stalk domestic pets.
5. Make loud noises so they won’t be encouraged to come back if you see coyotes. You may want to play music while you’re outside with your pet so the predators stay away.
6. Block off any areas of your house and garden where the raccoon may find himself comfortable. Seal up chimneys and eliminate open holes around your house to prevent a raccoon from making a den.

There is little to no empirical research for sensory sensitivities of individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and coping strategies used in the workplace. Seven students with ASD were interviewed about sensory sensitivities experienced and accommodations used at the workplace. This study found that participants self-regulated sensory sensitivities, and not asking for or using accommodations. Future research is needed to focus on the sensory sensitivities of individuals with ASD who have been in the work force for several years.

n classic object-oriented design
, a base class defines an interface in the form of public virtual member functions. A derived class may either override these functions or use them as-is. Often, this "all or nothing" policy is too coarse. What you really need is a more flexible design that allows a subclass to customize the functionality of a base class's service without overriding it entirely. This article shows how to use the Template design pattern
to achieve such flexibility.
How can a subclass redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm's structure?
Use the Template design pattern.

British scientist have done a survey in the Greek island and found from the parents of nearly 700 children about their dietary habits. They found that at least twice a day, eight out of 10 children ate fresh fruit, and two-thirds ate fresh vegetables.
These benefited them to be strongest in terms of respiratory problems. Those who have a habit of this type of diet were less likely to develop air or skin allergies, or asthma symptoms.
"Many adults and children suffer from allergies and asthma, their lungs constantly bombarded by foreign bodies, or allergens in the air. When these allergens — such as pollen and dust — enter the body, the immune system believes they are harmful. In an effort to protect itself, the body sends out antibodies to fight off the allergens."
There is also a side effect of this mechanism. The chemical which is responsible for the symptoms we link to allergies, such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, or a sore throat.
"What the body needs is a balance between what we breathe in, and the body's reaction," says study author Dr. Paul Cullinan, from the Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
"In Crete, hardly any children have allergies," Cullinan says. "One explanation is their diet."
Eating nuts also have a positive effect. The powerful pack of walnuts or almonds have the magnesium punch which can boost lung power and protect against asthma.
After learning this even i wanted to follow this diet for better health results.

Jessica Damiano is a master gardener and journalist with more than 25 years experience in radio, television, print
It's February, and you know what that means? We're halfway through winter! It's also time to get back into the garden -- believe it or not -- to prune and appreciate early signs of life, like witch hazel, winter aconite, crocuses and hellebores. Here's a chore for every day of the month, including an extra for leap day on Feb. 29.
1. If orchids are outgrowing their containers, replant into a slightly larger pot now, before new growth starts.
2. Even if the groundhog sees his shadow, start preparing for spring: Order seeds before retailers run out.
3. Inspect beds and borders for bulbs, crowns and roots that have lifted out of the ground. Press them back in gently with your foot.
4. Cut back old hellebore foliage.
5. Start seeds of slow-growing annuals (petunia, coleus, sweet alyssum, geranium, snapdragon and verbena) indoors in a sterile seed-starting mix.
6. Cut summer-blooming clematis varieties, like Jackmanii, to two feet from the ground. New growth will be up before you know it.
7. Do your hemlocks look like they have cotton swab tips hanging off them? Those are woolly adelgid egg sacs. Remove by hand and destroy.
8. If the ground is dry and unfrozen, water evergreens, especially those planted in the past year.
9. Check stored tubers and bulbs, and mist with water if they're drying out. Discard if rotted or shriveled.
10. Inspect tree wrappings to ensure protection from hungry critters.
11. Test last year's seeds for viability by folding 10 into a damp paper towel and sealing in a plastic bag. Keep moist and check daily for a month.
12. Turn the compost pile; it's still cooking.
13. For an early taste of spring, cut a few stems of forsythia, pear, pussy willow or quince and place in a vase of water. They'll bloom sooner than those in the garden.
14. Giving your sweetheart roses? Remember that red means passion; yellow, friendship; white, purity; and pink, admiration.
15. Plant lavender and thyme seeds indoors on a sunny windowsill.
16. Keep an eye out for yellow winter aconites and white snowdrops in the garden. They're among the very first to bloom.
15. Water houseplants with room-temperature water to avoid leaf drop.
16. Prune diseased rose canes, disinfecting pruners between cuts with a 10-percent bleach solution or disinfectant spray.
17. If your lawn mower needs servicing, take it in now while business is slow; you won't likely be kept waiting. While you're at it, get blades sharpened, too.
18. Prune summer-blooming shrubs.
19. If you brought geraniums indoors for the winter, cut them back now to encourage a fuller shape.
21. Inspect burlap and other protective covers around shrubs and trees and adjust, if necessary, to avoid wind burn and other damage.
22. Resist the urge to start seeds too early, or else your plants will grow leggy and you might lose them.
23. Use a net to clean leaves and other debris from ponds.
24. Start pruning all deciduous trees except maple, beech, dogwood, elm and sycamore. Those are "bleeders," which should be in full leaf before they're trimmed.
25. When the temperature rises above 40 degrees, apply anti-desiccant to broadleaf evergreens like rhododendron, azalea, pieris and laurel.
26. Replenish bird feeders -- and don't forget water.
27. Prune grapevines to four or fewer fruiting canes, leaving seven to 10 buds on each.
28. Sow beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and celery indoors to transplant in the garden in five to six weeks.
29. When houseplants begin to show signs of active growth, give them a boost with a shot of water-soluble fertilizer.

One of the most common biofuels is ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol created by fermenting starches and/or sugars, biomass that is high in carbohydrates. Ethanol needs a specified engine to be act as fuel in its pure form. It is typically blended with gasoline to boost octane. There are Flex Fuel vehicles which accommodate fuel with majority ethanol content.
Biodiesel is alcohol based but is mixed with vegetable oil or grease from cooking. Like ethanol, an engine must be modified to run on biodiesel but it is low emission alternative to diesel fuel.
Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) is a great eco-friendly fuel. My uncle has converted his diesel Mercedes to run on vegetable oil. He gets it for free every time he eats lunch at one of his favorite restaurants in town because the restaurants cannot legally use it twice for health code reasons and would have disposed of it anyway. My uncle has a filtering system for it at his home.

The control of the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies on the position of the Subtropical Front
2013 (English)In: Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans and Atmospheres, ISSN 0148-022A, Vol. 118, no 10, 5669-5675 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
In recent years the latitudinal position of the Subtropical Front (STF) has emerged as a key parameter in the global climate. A poleward positioned front is thought to allow a greater salt flux from the Indian to the Atlantic Ocean and so drive a stronger Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Here the common view that the STF aligns with the zero wind stress curl (WSC) is challenged. Based on the STF climatologies of Orsi et al. (1995), Belkin and Gordon (1996), Graham and De Boer (2013), and on satellite scatterometry winds, we find that the zero WSC contour lies on average ∼10°, ∼8°, and ∼5° poleward of the front for the three climatologies, respectively. The circulation in the region between the Subtropical Gyres and the zero WSC contour is not forced by the WSC but rather by the strong bottom pressure torque that is a result of the interaction of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current with the ocean floor topography. The actual control of the position of the STF is crucially dependent on whether the front is regarded as simply a surface water mass boundary or a dynamical front. For the Agulhas Leakage problem, the southern boundary of the so-called Super Gyre may be the most relevant property but this cannot easily be identified in observations.

Vallée de la Haute-Sûre
Vallée de la Haute-Sûre is part of a Transboundary Ramsar Site in Belgium and Luxembourg, composed of a complex of forested wetlands, peatlands, wet grasslands, reed beds, springs and rural zones. The Esch-sur-Sûre barrage forms a 380 hectare reservoir in the Luxembourg part (Site number 1408). The valley’s mosaic of habitats supports internationally-threatened mammals including the European otter <i>Lutra lutra</i>, the brown long-eared bat <i>Plecotus auritus</i>, the common pipistrelle <i>Pipistrellus Pipistrellus</i> and the badger <i>Meles meles</i>. It also supports some 20 species of fish, as well as the endangered freshwater pearl mussel <i>Margaritefera margaritifera</i> which depends on the river trout <i>Salmo trutta</i> for the first stages of its development. Besides typical wetland plants such as <i>Comarum palustre</i> and <i>Menyanthes trifoliata</i>, the rare <i>Epipactis palustris</i> and <i>Pedicularis palustris</i> are also present. The Site is an important stopover and nesting area for many birds, notably the black stork. The barrage provides drinking water for 80% of Luxembourg’s population. Pollution from intensive agriculture and untreated wastewater have affected the water quality of the River Sûre and its tributaries, while the introduction of resinous tree species has upset the balance of aquatic ecological communities. Uncontrolled activities such as hunting, water sports, leisure fishing and cycling also disturb the Site. For the Belgian part of the Site, a management plan has been implemented since 2007. Several projects (including transboundary projects) have supported the protection and restoration of wetlands and raised public awareness.

Some Facts about Diabetes
1. The word “diabetes” is Greek for “siphon,” which refers to the copious urine of uncontrolled di...
2. Approximately 90% of people with Type 2 diabetes are obese.
3. Some studies have indicated that individuals with diabetes are at much greater risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia than are non-diabetics, though the reasons are unknown.
4. Diabetes is the main cause of blindness in individuals aged 20-74 in the United States. Experts emphasize that early detection and treatment could prevent up to 90% of cases of blindness that are related to diabetes.
5. Men with diabetes are at a greater risk for erectile dysfunction (ED) than non-diabetic men. Approximately 50-60% of men with diabetes over the age of 50 have problems with ED. Additionally, ED becomes a problem for diabetic men about 10 to 15 years earlier than a non-diabetic man.
6. Those with diabetes, particularly adolescent girls with Type 1 diabetes, may be at increased risk of developing eating disorders. Some adolescent girls purposely withhold their insulin to lose weight
7. Individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to complications of flu and pneumonia and are six times more likely to be hospitalized for these problems than non-diabetics. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 10,000-30,000 people with diabetes die each year from flu and pneumonia.
8. Experts report that diabetes decreases life expectancy by five to 10 years.
9. Men have a higher risk of death from diabetes than women.
10. A Harvard study showed that eating one serving of cooked oatmeal two to four times a week was linked to a 16% reduction in the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. One serving five or six times a week was linked to a 39% reduction in risk
11. Overweight individuals are more prone to develop diabetes because more fat requires more insulin, fat cells release free fatty acids which interfere with glucose metabolism, and overweight people have fewer available insulin receptors.
12. Smoking can increase diabetes risk by constricting blood vessels, raising blood pressure, and stimulating the release of catecholamines (fight-or-flight hormones), which promote insulin resistance.
13. The five countries with the highest percentage of diabetes are Nauru, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait. India has the world’s highest diabetes population with over 35 million people with diabetes. By 2025, this number is expected to swell to 70 million, meaning every fifth diabetic in the world would be Indian.
14. Every 10 seconds someone dies from diabetes-related causes globally. Every year nearly 3.5 million people in the world die due to diabetes. The death rate is expected to rise by 25% over the next decade.
15. Diabetes is a silent epidemic and according to WHO there are 246 million people in the world living with diabetes. This is almost 6% of the world's adult population.
Prevalence of diabetes worldwide in 2000 (per 1000 inhabitants). World average was 28.23‰.

Those who hold their
friends in good esteem and treat them with respect gain many
defenders and supporters against their enemies.
Having faithful friends is just as important as satisfying
the vital necessities of life. Being among a secure and peaceful
circle of friends means finding safety against many hazards
Wise people, upon seeing that a friendship has become damaged,
immediately remove the cause of discontent and restore good
relations. Even wiser are those who strive to avoid or prevent
disagreement with their friends in the first place.
Love and good relations between friends continue as long as
they understand each other, practice self-denial, and make
sacrifices within permissible limits. Friendship between those
who cannot renounce their interests and preferences for the
sake of their friends cannot endure.
We are loyal and faithful to our friends to the extent we
share their troubles as well as their joys. If we cannot weep
when our friends weep and rejoice when they rejoice, we cannot
be regarded as faithful friends.
Those who maintain a friendship with one who has fallen on
hard times are true, loyal friends. Those who do not support
their friends during their misfortune have nothing to do with
Those who tend to disagree and struggle with their friends
have few friends. One who desires to have faithful and numerous
friends should not disagree with them on trivial matters.
Friendship pertains to oneís heart and its sincerity. Those
who think they can gain anotherís friendship through deception
and hypocrisy only deceive themselves. Even if some simple-minded
people are taken in by their hypocrisy and flattery, they
will not be able to sustain a long-lasting friendship.

Gospel of Thomas
The Gospel of Thomas (or the Gospel according to Thomas, Coptic: p.euaggelion p.kata.cwmas) is a text written during the era of the New Testament. It is considered to be an apocryphon. It was found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945.
The text is in the form of a codex, bound in what today is known as Coptic binding. It is almost complete. Unlike the other texts, it is not a narrative, but a collection of sayings and short dialogues attributed to Jesus. There are 114 sayings in the text. Most are compatible with the other gospels. They can also be found in one of the other gospels. Some were unknown to scholars before the codex was found. None of the big Christian groups accepts the Gospel of Thomas as canon.

環状ジスルフィドの重合によるポリカテナンの合成と形状記憶特性 [in Japanese] Synthesis of Polycatenane by Polymerization of Cyclic Disulfides and Shape-Memory Characteristics of the Polymer [in Japanese]
Access this Article
Search this Article
This review describes thermal polymerization of cyclic disulfides without any initiators. Cyclic disulfides such as 1, 2-dithiane (DT) and 1, 4-dihydro-2, 3-benzodithine (XDS) can polymerize easily at reaction temperature of the melting points of the respective monomers to give a high molecular weight polymer determined by GPC. From the analyses of NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopies, the polymers obtained from the polymerization of cyclic disulfides were found to be a cyclic structure. Moreover, thermal and mechanical properties of the polymers, and decomposition behaviors of the polymers demonstrate that the polymers obtained from thermal polymerization of cyclic disulfides include a polycatenane structure. From polymerization of cyclic disulfides in the presence of cyclic poly (ethylene oxide), a polycatenane consisting of two different cyclic polymer was obtained. The polymers revealed characteristics as a shape-memory material.

Answer: Drooping limbs on Italian cypress is usually caused by over fertilization, over watering or both. What's happening is that an ample supply of water and nutrients results in excessive growth. Deep watering once a week in midsummer would be excessive unless it was growing on a very sandy soil. Watering deep, during the winter, more than once a month would also be excessive. One fertilization in the spring is adequate.
Limbs that are drooping can be removed from inside the tree's silhouette. Take a drooping limb and follow it back inside the tree's canopy. Make a pruning cut inside the canopy at a side branch that does not droop outside the canopy area.
The other option you have is to tie the drooping branches to the rest of the canopy so that the branches no longer droop. The problem is that the weak branches aren't corrected. The drooping branches are only supported and will droop again once the ties have been removed.
Shearing the plant is sometimes done to remove all excessive growth. This will help, but it imposes a continuous and time-consuming maintenance routine. The best solution is to manage the water and fertilizer schedules.

Tunisian Jews hold a special celebration on the seventh day of Hanucah,the first of Tevet. On this day, Jews from Tunisia mark Rosh Hodesh El-bnat, the new moon for girls.
The celebration commemorates the story of Judith, which is not included in the Bible.
The city of Bethulia was besieged by the army of Holofernes, a general of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. Holofernes was killed by Judith, a young widow who, with divine inspiration, saved her people.
She went to the enemy camp and by her beauty captivated Holofernes. She agreed to sit at his table.
Judith cut off the head of the drunk Holofernes and returned to Bethulia that night.
The next day, the Jews suspended the head of Holofernes on a wall.
His men panicked and lifted the siege after suffering a terrible defeat. It was a courageous woman who helped restore the Jews' freedom.
The Jews of Tunisia hold a joyous celebration with cakes of all kinds, many sweetened with dates and honey. Under European influence it became customary for young men to spoil their fiancees with sweets and jewellery. Women find their rightful place.

Try This at Home: Fish Out of Water
A persistence of vision illusion occurs when several discrete images are quickly flashed before the eye. These individual images are melded together by the eye and the brain to form a continuous image. This is the same sort of illusion that makes movies and cartoons appear as moving images.
What You Need
- 2 index cards
- Crayons or markers
- Clear tape
- 1 pencil
What To Do
1. Make sure you have an adult with you to supervise this experiment.
2. Draw and color a fishbowl, without any fish in it, on one index card.
3. Draw and color a fish, without a fishbowl or water, on the other index card. Make sure that the fish is the right size, and in the right place on the index card, to fit inside of the fishbowl.
4. Place the index cards back to back, so that both drawings are showing and are right-side up, and tape the top and sides of the cards together.
5. Stick the pencil in between the cards so that it is perpendicular to the bottom of the cards. Tape the pencil to the cards in this position.
6. Make a hypothesis! The fish and the bowl are not together. By spinning them quickly, do you think the fish will ever appear in the bowl?
7. Spin the cards by rolling the pencil in between both hands quickly. Do you see the fish in the bowl?
8. Clean up.
As you spin the pencil, each index card will flash before your eyes. The cells in the back of your eye, on the retina, will retain this image for just a little longer than you actually see it. The next image will flash so your cells will see this image as well. Your brain helps to combine the two images into one image; the fish looks like itís inside the fishbowl! You can also do this experiment using two different images, such as a bird in a tree or a puppy in a window. Similarly, many discrete images flash before your eyes when you watch television or go to a movie. The combination of your eyes and your brain work to form the images into one continuous image.
All humans are born colorblind–our color-seeing cells don’t start working until we are 4 months old.

Five Themes of Geography: An Instructional Strategy
I. LOCATION ... tells us where a place is on the Earth's surface.
1. On the map place a red sticker to show where you were born. (US map)
2. On the map place a blue sticker to show where you live now. (RI map)
II. PLACE ... tells the special characteristics a place might have,
such as culture, climate, population, plants, animals, and landforms.
Imagine you took these pictures.
1. How would you describe how it feels to be there?
2. Choose three adjectives to describe what you see and feel. Use
three words of your own or choose from the word bank below.
III. HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION ... tells how people react, change,
or adapt to their environment.
1. Rate these places for how NATURAL they are.
Use the following rating scale.
1. This place looks pristine and as close to its natural state as it
2. This place shows a moderate amount of human interaction.
3. This place shows a great deal of human interaction and change.
IV. MOVEMENT ... tells about the flow of people, products, and ideas
into and within a region.
1. Choose an item of clothing, accessory or footware. Read the
tag where it was made.
2. Place a sticker on the map for this place.
V. REGION ... tells us about areas of the Earth that are alike in some
way or another.
1. Choose a card and some matching stickers. (Examples:
rainforest, tundra, savannah, deserts, Middle East, mountains, etc.)
2. Place the stickers on the corresponding locations on the
Earth. You may use the atlases for help.

This is a fun way to help the students remember to pick up their classroom supplies.The story starts out with Mr. Pencil excited for a new school year. At first the students take good care of him. As time goes on they start leaving him alone. Mr. Pencil then finds his eraser getting chewed on and finally he ends up broken on the floor. At the end of the story the students put Mr. Pencil back together and give him a new pencil cap for a hat. Mr. Pencil is then able to help the students once again.
This is a book I originally wrote for my first graders to help them remember how to take good care of our classroom pencils. I was tired of finding pencils broken and not put away so I thought I would try a story. I wrote and illustrated the book. The drawings are painted with watercolor. There are more characters in the story that can be used for different stories if this book is a hit. Mr. Scissor and Red the Crayon also appear.

France 1860 – 1945
Materials & Technique: glass, vases, glass, moulded
The French jeweller, silversmith and glassmaker, René Lalique, began to incorporate glass into his jewellery designs of the 1890s. In 1908, he began to design jewel-like glass bottles for French perfume manufacturers and by the 1920s, his technical innovations for producing moulded glass enabled him to develop a wide range of glass products. He was a major influence on the modern, geometric design style of the 1920s now known as Art Deco. He promoted glass as a modern industrial material, developing opalescent and richly coloured varieties for architectural applications, lamps and furniture. This vase features a stylised motif of the Australian eucalyptus, one of the many exotic plant, insect and animal themes used by Lalique in his designs.

The name refers to the technique which relies sometimes exclusively, on use of a rounded cutting tip which creates spheroid elements from which the figures are composed. It probably started as a convenient shortcut to making body masses, even in the 5th century but becomes the main technique and dictates style in the 4th century and later.

[room 329] what would you do @ the farm?
October 24, 2013
Last week, we read the book Apples and Pumpkins by Anne Rockwell. It’s a short little story about a girl who goes to Comstock Farm with her mom and her dad to pick apples and the perfect pumpkin. After their farm trip, they go home and carve a jack o lantern out of the pumpkin. On Halloween night, the girl goes trick or treating while the mom passes out the apples they picked at the farm.
After reading the book, we decided to make the text-to-self connections and think about what we would do if we went to Comstock Farm ourselves. It was a fun activity because the students got a chance to be creative and artsy. It was an authentic activity where the students really applied the book to their own lives. It was a comprehension activity that assessed their understanding of what happens at Comstock Farm in the book. And it was a writing activity where students had to express what they would do in writing. I love these kinds of activities even though they take forever and are always really messy!
Cutting a pumpkin
Really hard at work
What an artsy mess we’re making!
Here’s a few examples of our work!
At Comstock Farm I would pick all of the pumpkins and apples. I pick all apples. I make a monster pumpkins. The day pumpkins.
At Comstock Farm I would pick the apples. I would pick a pumpkin and take it home.
At Comstock Farm I would pick apples and pumpkins. I go to the pumpkin patch. Then I will go to my home and eat pumpkins and apples.
At Comstock Farm I would get a pumpkin and a apple. I need the apple and pumpkin. I need it for Halloween. I made a jack o lantern. First my papa cuts two eyes of my pumpkin. Then my papa has to cut the mouth of my pumpkin.
At Comstock Farm I would pick a pumpkin. I pick a apple from the apple tree. I see the sun yellow and bright. I see the sky blue. I feel the grass light green. I go in the barn. The end. I go a field trip.

All About Bats
My students love learning about bats! There are so many great resources on bats. Our favorite read aloud is Stellaluna. I found this free online storytelling of this book by Pamela Reed. She does an amazing job reading the story and the students are mesmerized while listening to the story.
After listening to the story, we compared and contrasted bats to birds.
Here are a few videos we watched in class.
We read many books on bats and wrote about bats. My students know so many facts about bats!

An old lady known to you as "Granny" has been evaluating an investment proposal from her son, Uncle Sal. Sal suggests that the investment is "too good to pass up," but based on past performance, Granny is suspicious. After doing some research, Granny has determined that Sal's investment has a high risk of default, for which she would require and expect a return of 5% above investments with no such risk. Government bonds of the same maturity are selling for a price that yields a current return of 6%.
What interest rate should Granny use to determine if this investment is worthwhile?
What the Granny requires is 5% above the investments which have no risk of default. The default risk is the possibility of not being able to pay the interest or the ...
The solution explains how to calculate the interest rate to compare investments.

Bronchitis is inflammation and irritation of the airways (bronchial
tubes) of the lungs. Symptoms include a persistent cough that often produces
mucus (sputum), fever, mild wheezing, and chest pain.
Bronchitis is usually caused by infection from a virus (less
commonly with bacteria or a fungus). It can also develop after exposure to
chemicals or air pollution, including tobacco smoke.
There are two types of bronchitis.
develops suddenly. It generally lasts less than 2 to 3 weeks. Most healthy
people who develop bronchitis get better without any
Chronic bronchitis recurs and
becomes long-term (chronic), especially in people who smoke. A cough that
produces too much sputum and is present most days during a 3-month period for
at least 2 years in a row suggests chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is a
form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War
By Robert Coram
John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history. Some remember him as the greatest U.S. fighter pilot ever -- the man who, in simulated air-to-air combat, defeated every challenger in less than forty seconds. Some recall him as the father of our country's most legendary fighter aircraft -- the F-15 and F-16. Still others think of Boyd as the most influential military theorist since Sun Tzu. They know only half the story. Boyd, more than any other person, saved fighter aviation from the predations of the Strategic Air Command. His manual of fighter tactics changed the way every air force in the world flies and fights. He discovered a physical theory that forever altered the way fighter planes were designed. Later in life, he developed a theory of military strategy that has been adopted throughout the world and even applied to business models for maximizing efficiency. And in one of the most startling and unknown stories of modern military history, the Air Force fighter pilot taught the U.S. Marine Corps how to fight war on the ground. His ideas led to America's swift and decisive victory in the Gulf War and foretold the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. On a personal level, Boyd rarely met a general he couldn't offend. He was loud, abrasive, and profane. A man of daring, ferocious passion and intractable stubbornness, he was that most American of heroes -- a rebel who cared not for his reputation or fortune but for his country. He was a true patriot, a man who made a career of challenging the shortsighted and self-serving Pentagon bureaucracy. America owes Boyd and his disciples -- the six men known as the "Acolytes" -- a great debt. Robert Coram finally brings to light the remarkable story of a man who polarized all who knew him, but who left a legacy that will influence the military -- and all of America -- for decades to come. ..

How to Find the Satellite Location for DirecTV
DirecTV is a direct broadcast satellite service that broadcasts digital satellite television and audio in the United States. DirecTV's satellites are located south of the state of Texas. When installing your DirecTV satellite dish, you will need to calculate the exact location of the satellite from your zip code so that you can correctly point your satellite dish. DirecTV offers an online dish pointing tool to assist you in finding the satellite's location.
Things You'll Need
- Internet connection
Open a web browser on your computer and go to DirecTV's dish pointer website. (See Resources.)
Enter your zip code where the satellite dish is mounted in the search box.
Click the orange "Check" button. The dish pointer website will display the elevation and the azimuth of the DirecTV satellite from your location. The elevation relates to the up-and-down positioning of your satellite dish. The azimuth relates to the left-to right positioning of your satellite dish. The DirecTV satellite dish assembly mechanism has built-in settings for both elevation and azimuth. By setting your assembly mechanism to the correct specifications, you will find the satellite location for DirecTV.

Timeline of the Hearst Architectural Competition
In 1898 and 1899, an ambitious international competition was held to determine a master plan for the buildings and setting of the University of California, Berkeley. Formerly an undistinguished land grant college, its campus had grown in a piecemeal and haphazard fashion over the previous thirty years. The competition was the idea of a recently hired instructor of mechanical drawing, the architect Bernard Maybeck. The generous patron who made the whole project possible was the mining and real estate heiress Phoebe Apperson Hearst, who would become the university´s greatest early benefactor. The campaign proved to be one of the milestones of the turn-of-the-century City Beautiful movement.
Buildings designed by John Galen Howard are identified in boldface.
April 16, 1860. College of California dedicates Berkeley campus site at Founders Rock.
1865. Frederick Law Olmsted completes his plan for the Colleges proposed Berkeley campus, emphasizing an open space axis oriented towards the Golden Gate.
1873. The University of California moves from its temporary Oakland home (inherited from the College of California) to the Berkeley site. William Hammond Hall prepares a plan for the Berkeley campus. First permanent building (South Hall) completed.
1870s, 80s, 90s. A series of permanent and temporary buildings are constructed at Berkeley, designed by a number of architects in various styles and somewhat haphazardly sited around the campus grounds.
1894-95. Newly appointed UC Regent Jacob Reinstein and drawing instructor Bernard Maybeck begin to discuss ideas for improving the Berkeley campus.
1895. Phoebe Hearst offers to construct for the University a mining building as a memorial to her deceased husband, Senator George Hearst. Maybeck produces a sketch of a possible building, but suggests a plan is needed first to decide where it should be built on the campus.
1896. April, Regent Reinstein formally proposes a competition to produce a new plan to guide the physical development of the campus. October, Phoebe Hearst offers to fund the proposed competition, which becomes known as the Hearst International Architectural Competition.
1896-97. Reinstein and Maybeck promote the Competition across the country and around the world, distributing hundreds of copies of the prospectus.
July 1, 1898. The deadline for entries for the Competition. More than 100 submissions are received and judged at Antwerp, Belgium, by a jury of distinguished architects. Eleven finalists are selected and commissioned to produce more detailed studies of their plans.
August-September, 1899. Revised entries are received and displayed in San Franciscos recently completed Ferry Building. Phoebe Hearst presides over receptions and events, and thousands of local residents view the plans. The second round of judging takes place. A plan submitted by French architect Emile Bérnard is selected as the winner. Like most of the entries, Bernards plan reflects then-popular Ecole de Beaux Arts views towards site planning and architecture. John Galen Howards entry receives fourth place.
October, 1899. Benjamin Ide Wheeler arrives to become the University of Californias new President. He will become the guiding administrative force behind the funding and implementation of the Hearst Plan and growth of the University.
1900. May 12. Phoebe Hearst turns the symbolic first shovelful of earth to break ground for the Presidents Mansion (designed by San Francisco architect Albert Pissis), now University House, the first campus building to be constructed according to the Hearst Plan. December 14. The Regents adopt Bernards revised plan, but difficulties and differences between Benard, Hearst, and University officials have already made his separation from the project inevitable. An architect to implement the Plan is being sought; attention focuses on John Galen Howard.
1901. Phoebe Hearst selects Howard to design the Hearst Memorial Mining Building. December 21. Howard is formally appointed Supervising Architect for the University, a post he will hold until 1924.
1902. Construction begins on the Hearst Memorial Mining Building (completed in 1907).
Construction begins on the Hearst Greek Theater (completed in 1903)
1903. Construction begins on California Hall (completion in 1905). By this point Howard has reshaped the Benard design into a revised plan of his own, returning the orientation of the central axis towards the Golden Gate, as Olmsted envisioned it. The Department of Architecture is founded under Howards leadership. It will become a School of Architecture in 1913. He will remain its head until 1927.
1904. Construction begins on the University Power House, to provide centralized power and heat for the growing campus.
1905. Construction begins on Golden Bear Lodge (now Senior Hall).
1906. Construction begins on Northgate Hall for Department of Architecture (to be expanded several times over the years). April. San Francisco Earthquake shakes Berkeley, delays construction, but does not cause major physical damage on the campus.
1907-11. First stages of Doe Memorial Library constructed. Expanded in 1914-18.
1908. Howard prepares a revision of the Hearst Plan.
1908-10. Sather Gate constructed.
1908-11. Boalt Hall (now Durant Hall) constructed.
1910-12. Agriculture Hall (now Wellman Hall) constructed.
1913-14. Sather Tower constructed.
1913-14. Drawing Building (now Naval Architecture Building) constructed.
1914. Howard produces another revision of the Hearst Plan.
1915-17. Wheeler Hall constructed.
1916-17. Hilgard Hall constructed. This is Howards first permanent campus building in which less expensive concrete is planned and used for the exterior instead of granite.
1917. Gilman Hall constructed.
1919. Phoebe Hearst dies and Benjamin Ide Wheeler retires as UC President, bringing to an end their two decades of collaboration with Howard, in shaping the physical character of the University.
1920. Military Science Building (now Dwinelle Annex) constructed.
1922. The wooden Hearst Hall, used as the womens gymnasium, burns. William Randolph Hearst offers to pay for a replacement, and specifies Bernard Maybeck as the architect. This will be the first permanent building on campus designed by an architect other than Howard since Howard became Supervising Architect, undermining Howards control.
1922-23. California Memorial Stadium constructed. Howard does the design, although he has advised against the location.
1923. Stephens Memorial Hall constructed, Berkeleys first complete student union building
LeConte Hall constructed. Berkeley Fire destroys much of North Berkeley but spares the campus.
1924. Haviland Hall completed. Hesse Hall (first unit) completed. November 22. The Regents cancel John Galen Howards contract as Supervising Architect.
1931. John Galen Howard dies.

Pictures of Coots
Scientific name: Fulica, of the Rallidae family
Habitat: Common throughout Europe, North and South America
Food: plants, small animals, eggs, fish, insect
Coots are often mistaken for ducks, when actually they are a medium-sized (~15 inches) water bird. These birds have a mostly black body and a distinct white beak with a black mark near the tip. The coot's beak is shaped more like the triangle of a chicken's beak, rather than the flat shape of a duck's bill. Babies have a bald orangey red head and neck. Immature birds are more gray than black. Some coots have white markings on their under tails.
Coots can be found in freshwater ponds, lakes and rivers. They swim like ducks, but they do not have webbed feet. Their toes are instead connected by lobes, which aid in swimming as well as walking in marshy areas. Coots mostly feed on plants and grasses, but will also feed on eggs and small animals and fish. They feed either by grazing on the water's surface, foraging on land or by diving into the water.
Coots build their nests in marshy areas with tall vegetation and shallow waters. Their nest is a floating platform of plant material that is attached and anchored to surrounding plants. Females lay 6-11 eggs once or twice a year. Both male and female coots build their nest and incubate their eggs.
Coots are gregarious birds and very aggressive in defending their nests. While not breeding, they are often found in large flocks.

- This article is about ipil (Intsia bijuga), for the ipil-ipil tree, see Leucaena leucocephala.
Intsia bijuga is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, native to the Indo-Pacific. It ranges from Tanzania and Madagascar east through India and Queensland, Australia to the Pacific islands of Fiji and Samoa. It grows to around 50 metres (160 feet) tall with a highly buttressed trunk. It inhabits mangrove forests.
The bark and leaves of the ipil are used in traditional medicines. The tree's timber, called merbau or kwila, is a very durable and termite-resistant wood, making it a highly valued material for flooring and other uses. The wood can also be used to extract a dye. Merbau can contain a "gold" fleck that runs through the grain, considered to be attractive by some. Due to extensive logging of the tree, it is endangered in many places in Southeast Asia, and almost extinct in some. Extensive amounts were purchased for the venue of the 2008 Summer Olympics in China, which is the largest importer of the wood. The wood is used for flooring in U.S. and European markets where it is commonly sold under different names. Both licensed and unlicensed mills harvest the wood.
According to Greenpeace large amounts of ipil timber sourced from illegal logging is being imported into China where there are lax import rules. Greenpeace are targeting users in Western countries in order to halt the trade in ipil wood. Greenpeace claims that at the current rate of logging the tree will be wiped out within 35 years.
In New Zealand, where the ipil wood is known as kwila, attempts have been made to stop it from being imported. In 2008 retailers were divided in whether the sale of kwila should be banned. Jim Anderton, who was the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry at that time, did not support a ban and instead he left it up to consumer choice.

Governing Law and Regulations
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7
See ADDRESSES & CONTACTS for addresses and telephone numbers.
See national section for basic information and federal regulations.
Comparison: State vs. Federal
• Rules. EPA, under the authority of RCRA, oversees a nationwide program for the management of hazardous waste, from its generation to disposal. RCRA provides that a state may apply to EPA for authorization to operate its own program in lieu of the RCRA program. Iowa initially adopted a state hazardous waste management program but returned its authority to EPA in 1985. While hazardous waste rules remain in the state's Administrative Code, the federal rules for identifying and classifying hazardous waste are in effect in Iowa. Refer to the national section HAZWASTE DETERMINATION (CLASSIFICATION) for more information on the federal rules for identifying and classifying hazardous waste.
• Administration and enforcement. Because Iowa is not an RCRA-authorized state, EPA's Region 7 office administers and enforces the hazardous waste identification and classification rules in Iowa.

Power a digital clock by making a battery out of lemons.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- 2 ripe lemons
- Low-voltage digital clock (Use a clock that takes one AA battery or a 1.5-volt button cell battery. One AA battery has about 1.5 volts of energy. Two lemons should produce about 1.5 volts.)
- 2 copper pennies (If your penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95 percent copper. If the date is 1982 or later, it is made of 97.5 percent zinc with a thin copper coating. The old pennies work better.)
- 3 8″ lengths of copper wire
- 2 galvanized nails (Galvanized nails are coated with zinc.)
- Clip leads (alligator clips), optional
WHAT YOU’LL DO
1. Roll the lemons on a hard surface, being careful not to break the skin. (This will loosen the pulp, make the lemons juicy and help the electrons move through the lemons.)
2. Wrap one end of a wire around a penny and the other around the end of a nail. (These will be used to connect the lemons together. Connecting lemons with metal wires adds voltage from each lemon. The more lemons you connect together, the higher the voltage.)
3. Connect a second wire to a penny and leave the other end bare.
4. Wrap the third wire around a nail and leave the other end bare.
5. Cut a slit in each lemon just large enough to insert the pennies. Insert the pennies and nails as shown in the image at the top of this page. (Make sure the copper wire has good contact with both the pennies and nails, and make sure the pennies and the nails make good contact with the lemon pulp and juice.)
6. Remove the battery from the clock and touch the wires to the positive and negative terminals in the clock. If your clock doesn’t work, try switching the wires.
7. You can also use clip leads (alligator clips) to connect your wires to the pennies, nails and clock, as shown below.

A Model for Generative Harmonic Dictation.
Bales, W. Kenton
This BASIC computer program designed to help music theory students practice harmonic dictation generates examples for students to use in a drill and practice approach in developing aural skills. To facilitate the implementation of effective generative algorithms, the author has used a non-linear analytical technique similar to the chord symbol analysis that students in a music theory classroom might use. He believes this approach is superior to the linear or Schenkerian approach used in previous research because, in order for computers to generate progressions in a linear fashion, great amounts of temporary storage must be available, and complex parallel processing techniques must be implemented in the programming. The non-linear analytical technique avoids these problems. Documentation for the computer program is included. (Author/LLS)

List the subsets of: .
Answer: . . . . . Right!
Here's way to ensure that you have all the subsets . . .
First of all, a set of elements has subsests.
Your set has elements, so there are subsets.
Make a chart with 8 rows . . . and 3 columns (one for each element).
In the first column, write four a's and four blanks.
In the second column, write two b's and two blanks, etc.
In the third column, write one c, one blank, etc.
The eight possible subsets appear in the eight rows.

Forest edge density in a gradient of boreal landscapes in Sweden
(English)Manuscript (Other academic)
The boreal forests in Fennoscandia are strongly fragmented by intensive forestry and other land use resulting in high amount of edge habitat. Detailed data on edge quantity is critical to assess fragmentation effects on biodiversity. We estimated the density of sharp forest edges in 28 landscapes, each 4 km × 4 km, along a 830 km gradient in northern Sweden. Data was collected from colour infrared aerial photographs using line intersect sampling and 20-m radius plots. Forest edge density was 54 ± 4.6 m ha-1 land area (mean ± SE) but variation was high among landscapes (12-102 m ha-1). Natural edges constituted 38% but created edges dominated (36% maintained and 26% regenerating). Thirty percent of edges adjoined narrow (5-19 m) open landscape elements (corridor edges) and seventy percent adjoined more exposed patches (≥20 m, patch edges). We found 34 types of patch edges, with the highest density recorded for edges in mature forest. Edge density increased with proportion of landscape disturbed by forestry and agriculture, and decreased with latitude and altitude, but natural and created edges showed contrasting patterns. The high density of sharp edges and the variability among landscapes implies that edges may have strong and diverse effects on the structure, function and biodiversity of boreal forest ecosystems. This variability must be taken into account when formulating strategies for sustainable forest management.

how to find oxidizing agent
Best Results From Yahoo Answers Youtube
From Yahoo Answers
Answers:N2O4 is the oxidising agent because it has given away its oxygen. The reducing agent is N2H4 because it has been oxidised by losing its hydrogen.
Answers:Just google "Table of Electrode Potentials".
Answers:Usually we have the reduction standard potentials . To determine the strongest oxidizing agent we take which has the hightest value. F2 + 2e- >> 2 F- E = + 2.9 V Cl2 + 2e- >> 2 Cl- E = + 1.4 V F2 is the strongest oxidizing agent
Answers:1) OXIDIZING. cuz in the first one itsC= 4- and second its 2+ and O=2- and H=1+ in both (plus in organic chem you learn in you increase the numer of bonds to an atom has bonded to oxygen, it's oxidation--where the name comes from. if you reduce the number of bonds it has with oxygen then its reduction. CH4 has zero O bonds H2CO3 has 4 O bonds (there is a double bond). but oxidation numbers still work, and should be used 2)NEITHER. Pb is 2+ on both sides of the equation. SO4=2- you just have to know that polyatomic anion. S has 2 double bonded O's and 2 single bonded O's which each have a negative charge 3) OXIDIZING. Br2 = 0 aways does in it diatomic form. and in the second compound Br=3+ and O=2- and H=1+. O=2- and H=1+ is almost an always so just use them like that.
