Find out what to expect as your baby approaches the solid food frontier. Your baby’s teething timeline could begin as early as three or four months old, and last through toddlerhood. By age three, all 20 primary teeth should have managed to emerge from your toddler’s gums. There are several stages of teething to overcome before you and your baby reach the pearly white finish line. Here are some of the symptoms you can expect, and ways you can get through this experience together! If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to talk to your pediatrician. How to tell if your baby is teething She’s a drooling machine You might notice your teething baby drooling more than usual, which could result in a small facial rash. Fear not! Your pediatrician can suggest some options to help moisturize your baby’s face. He’s chewing on EVERYTHING Don’t be alarmed if your baby appears to have a newfound interest in putting things in his mouth. Chewing on hard objects, toys, or teething rings can help teething babies relieve painful pressure from their gums. She’s fussier than usual You’d cry too if you had tiny teeth trying to break through your gums! Gently rub your baby’s gums with a clean finger, or firm rubber pacifier to help take some pressure off. He has a slight fever As long as it doesn’t break 101°F, a teething fever is totally normal. Call your pediatrician if your baby experiences a high fever or diarrhea. Infants’ TYLENOL® works differently than other pain and fever medicines to relieve your teething toddler’s pain, while staying gentle on the tummy. If your child is under 2 years of age, be sure to ask your doctor before giving your child Infants' Tylenol®. *If you have any questions, talk to your pediatrician.
Excerpts from: Slavery and the Jews A Historical Inquiry By Eli Faber "Eli Faber is professor of History at John Jay College of Criminal Justice of The City University of New York....This Sonia Kroland Coster	Excerpts from: Slavery and the Jews A Historical Inquiry By Eli Faber "Eli Faber is professor of History at John Jay College of Criminal Justice of The City University of New York....This Sonia Kroland Coster Memorial Lecture was delivered at Hunter College on May 11, 1994." "The Portugese dominated the slave trade throughout the 1500s, remaining in control of it until at least 1625." (Faber, 1) "The Portugese were responsible for transporting two-fifths, or approximately 4,190,000, of all slaves exported from Africa to the Americas." (Ibid, 2) "As part of their ascent during the 1600s to economic primacy in Europe, going to war first against Portugul and then against England, the Dutch also sought to establish as much control as possible over the slave trade. From 1640 until 1700, they may have ranked second in the slave trade behind Portugul, and they remained active during the 1700s after the English had surpassed them." (Ibid.) "During the succeeding century, England surged ahead and became Europe's largest slave-transporting nation. Between 1730 and 1807, Britain shipped almost 2,463,000 slaves to the western hemisphere, 41.7 percent of all slaves conveyed to the New World during the eighteenth century. This enormous enterprise was the work or merchants who resided primarily in three ports: London, Bristol, and Liverpool. "The majority of England's slave exports to her own colonies were carried to Barbados, Jamaica, and her other islands in the Caribbean. The thirteen American colonies received only 21.6 percent. Indeed, the American colonies and their successor, the United States of America, accounted for six to seven percent of the entire slave trade, or 715,000 of the more than 11 million people shipped from Africa to the western hemisphere between 1510 and 1840, when the transatlantic traffic in human beings finally ended. "During the course of the period between 1510 and 1840, Jewish merchants participated in the transport and sale of slaves, and Jewish inhabitants of the western hemisphere owned slaves." (Ibid, 3) "Not only have Jewish historians long known about such activities, but they have written about them, well before the current flurry of interest in Jewish participation in Slavery. A few examples should suffice. "Historian Herbert Bloom, in his 1937 study of economic activity among the Jews of Amsterdam during the 1600s and 1700s, wrote of Jews who owned slaves in South Africa, Brazil, and Surinam. He also noted the attempts made by some Jews to transport slaves to Spain's colonies in defiance of the Durtch West India Company's right to monopolize the slave trade. " (Ibid., 3-4) [Other examples include Jacob Rader Marcus, Rabbi Bertram Korn, Isaac Emmanuel and Johathan Israel.] "Because of these publications - which by no means exhaust the possible examples - one could never claim that Jewish historians have either neglected or denied the presence of Jewish merchants in the slave trade, or consigned to oblivion the fact that some Jews owned slaves." (Ibid. 4-5) "Non-Europeans, too, were involved. Long before the Portugese enmeshed themselves in the enslavement of Africans, Arab traders penetrated deeply into the African continent, procuring men, women, and children whom they transported to North Africa and the Middle East. The Arab trade began as long ago as the ninth century and lasted into the nineteenth, continuing after the transatlantic trade to the New World ceased. "Africans also played a role, because European slave traders were not permitted to penetrate into the African continent but were required, instead, to purchase slaves from Africans who brought them in caravans to the coasts." (Ibid. 5) "If there is any surprise involved in slavery, it is most likely to arise upon learning that many eighteenth-century Quakers owned slaves and actively engaged in slave trading.... What ought to be emphasized, however, is that some Quakers participated in slavery, while others struggled to end it." (Ibid.) "Scholars reject any tendency to characterize all the members of any one group as the primary culprits in the international commerce system that evolved after the European discovery of the New World. Thus, just as some Quakers, some Arabs, some Africans, some Portugese, and some Frenchmen were involved in the instituti
Applied scientists led by Caltech's Kerry Vahala have discovered a new type of optical soliton wave that travels in the wake of other soliton waves, hitching a ride on and feeding off of the energy of the other wave. Sol	Applied scientists led by Caltech's Kerry Vahala have discovered a new type of optical soliton wave that travels in the wake of other soliton waves, hitching a ride on and feeding off of the energy of the other wave. Solitons are localized waves that act like particles: as they travel across space, they hold their shape and form rather than dispersing as other waves do. They were first discovered in 1834 when Scottish engineer John Scott Russell noted an unusual wave that formed after the sudden stop of a barge in the Union Canal that runs between Falkirk and Edinburgh. Russell tracked the resulting wave for one or two miles, and noted that it preserved its shape as it traveled, until he ultimately lost sight of it. He dubbed his discovery a "wave of translation." By the end of the century, the phenomenon had been described mathematically, ultimately giving birth to the concept of the soliton wave. Under normal conditions, waves tend to dissipate as they travel through space. Toss a stone into a pond, and the ripples will slowly die down as they spread out away from the point of impact. Solitons, on the other hand, do not. In addition to water waves, solitons can occur as light waves. Vahala's team studies light solitons by having them recirculate indefinitely in micrometer-scale circular circuits called optical microcavities. Solitons have applications in the creation of highly accurate optical clocks, and can be used in microwave oscillators that are used for navigation and radar systems, among other things. But despite decades of study, a soliton has never been observed behaving in a dependent -- almost parasitic--manner. "This new soliton rides along with another soliton -- essentially, in the other soliton's wake. It also syphons energy off of the other soliton so that it is self-sustaining. It can eventually grow larger than its host," says Vahala, Ted and Ginger Jenkins Professor of Information Science and Technology and Applied Physics and executive officer for applied physics and materials science in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science. Vahala likens these newly discovered solitons to pilot fish, carnivorous tropical fish that swim next to a shark so they can pick up scraps from the shark's meals. And by swimming in the shark's wake, the pilot fish reduce the drag of water on their own body, so they can travel with less effort. Vahala is the corresponding author of a paper in the journal Nature Physics announcing and describing the new type of soliton, dubbed the "Stokes soliton." (The name "Stokes" was chosen for technical reasons having to do with how the soliton syphons energy from the host.) The new soliton was first observed by Caltech graduate students Qi-Fan Yang and Xu Yi. Because of the soliton's ability to closely match the position and shape of the original soliton, Yang's and Yi's initial reaction to the wave was to suspect that laboratory instrumentation was malfunctioning. "We confirmed that the signal was not an artifact of the instrumentation by observing the signal on two spectrometers. We then knew it was real and had to figure out why a new soliton would spontaneously appear like this," Yang says. The microcavities that Vahala and his team use include a laser input that provides the solitons with energy. This energy cannot be directly absorbed by the Stokes soliton -- the "pilot fish." Instead, the energy is consumed by the "shark" soliton. But then, Vahala and his team found, the energy is pulled away by the pilot fish soliton, which grows in size while the other soliton shrinks. "Once we understood the environment required to sustain the new soliton, it actually became possible to design the microcavities to guarantee their formation and even their properties like wavelength -- effectively, color," Yi says. Yi and Yang collaborated with graduate student Ki Youl Yang on the research. This work is described in a paper titled "Stokes solitons in optical microcavities," published on Sept. 5.

Too much sun can significantly increase a person’s risk of cataracts, macular degeneration and other eye problems later in life. This risk depends on one’s cumulative exposure to sunlight over a lifetime. The best way to protect a person’s eyes from radiation damage is to begin dispensing high-quality sunglasses for children at an early age. This is true even if they don’t need prescription eyeglasses. Children’s Eyes and UV High-quality sunglasses are even more important for kids than they are for adults. Why? Children usually spend significantly more time outdoors than adults, increasing their exposure to ultraviolet (UV) and other solar radiation. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, it is estimated that 23% of lifetime exposure to UV occurs by age 18. Other researchers say nearly half of a person’s lifetime UV exposure occurs by age 18. Also, children have large pupils and the lens of a child’s eye does not filter UV and high-energy visible (HEV) light as effectively as an adult lens. These factors allow more harmful rays to penetrate deep into the eye during childhood. Unfortunately, many parents remain unaware of the importance of sunglasses for children. According to a 2012 Vision Council survey, 74 percent of American adults said they wear sunglasses for UV protection, but only 58 percent require their children to wear them. Read the full report here Sunglasses for Kids: Recommended Features 100 Percent UV Protection There are two types of ultraviolet rays from sunlight that can damage eyes: UVA and UVB. UVA is lower energy radiation, but it can penetrate deep into the eye. UVB has higher energy, but affects only the surface of the eye. For adequate eye protection, sunglasses for children should block 100 percent UVA and UVB. Like UVA, high-energy visible (HEV) light can penetrate deep into the eye and increase the risk of retinal damage. HEV is also called “blue light” because it is composed of short-wavelength (380 to 500 nm) visible light that comprises the blue and violet end of the visible light spectrum. Brown or amber-colored sunglass tints usually block HEV light more effectively than other shades. Sunglasses for kids should block as much HEV as possible. Generally, polycarbonate lenses are recommended for children’s sunglasses. These lenses automatically block 100 percent UV without the need for special lens coatings, tints or treatments. “Poly” lenses also are lighter than regular plastic lenses and provide up to 10 times more impact resistance for greater comfort and eye safety during sports and active play.

This forms the subject of a paper in this month's edition of Global Heart (the journal of the World Heart Federation), written by Professor Albert Zink, Institute for Mummies and the Iceman, European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen (EURAC), Bolzano/Bozen, Italy, and colleagues. While modern imaging techniques have been used to identify atherosclerosis in the mummified remains of multiple cultures, evidence of genetic predisposition has been harder to obtain due to the degradation of the genetic material over time. However, in a previous whole-genome study of the Tyrolean Iceman, a 5,300-year-old glacier mummy from the Alps, an increased risk for coronary heart disease was detected. The Iceman's genome revealed several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have been linked with modern day cardiovascular disease in the many genome-wide association studies that have been published across the past decade. The remains of the Iceman have undergone extensive analysis, however for the purposes of this paper the most intriguing finding was that the Iceman showed a strong genetic predisposition for increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). This is of particular interest as the computed tomography (CT) scans of the Iceman already had revealed major calcification in several major blood vessels, including the carotid arteries, distal aorta, and right iliac artery, which are strong signs of generalised atherosclerotic disease. The authors say that other traditional cardiac risk factors, such as being overweight, tobacco smoking, lack of physical activity, and a high fat diet, can generally be ruled out in a person from this era. In particular, the genetic sequencing data demonstrates that the Iceman had a very specific genetic mutation, namely that he was homozygous for the minor allele (GG) of rs10757274, located in chromosomal region 9p21. This SNP is currently regarded as being among the strongest genetic predictors of heart attacks and has been confirmed in several studies as a major risk locus for CHD. Regarding the suggestion that our ancestors lived much purer and active lives, free from all risks of heart disease compared with modern day sedentary lifestyles, the authors say: "Wrong! Our ancestors going back thousands of years show signs of atherosclerosis, as suggested by modern research using CT to detect evidence of calcium deposits associated with atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries of mummies

Best suited for cold winter regions with cool summers, it makes a nice specimen tree, windbreak or linear hedgerow in USDA hardiness zones 2 through 5, perhaps in the colder parts of zone 6, as well. It does not cope with compacted soils or urban air and water pollution. To develop into an uniform, well-branched and evenly-needled tree, locate a spot on your property where a white spruce receives at least eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Too much shading from nearby buildings or trees causes sparse branching and reduced foliage on twigs. White spruce's ideal soil conditions include an acidic to neutral soil pH (5.5 to 7.0) and a sandy or loamy soil rich in organic matter. The key is a well-draining soil that is not compacted or heavy. Clay or heavy loam soils need coarse bits of organic matter and grit incorporated for improved water drainage and porosity. Although drought tolerant, the white spruce grows better if the soil remains evenly moist across the growing season. Plant a white spruce at least 5 to 10 feet away from shrubs and perennials in the garden so that when the spruce grows tall it is now overly crowded or shaded by nearby garden plants. Site the spruce at least 10 to 15 feet away from large, established shade trees or buildings. Planting a clustered grove of spruce trees creates a lush, dense matrix of branches edged in needles; shaded interior branches lose their needles but are rarely seen. For a cluster, plant trees 10 to 12 feet apart. To make an impenetrable windbreak or hedgerow, plant white spruce trees 8 to 15 feet apart. The closer the trees are planted, the more quickly their branches will grow into each other to block wind or views. While container-grown spruce trees may be planted anytime of year when the soil is workable and not frozen, the best for planting is the very late summer or early autumn. Since white spruce grows in regions with very cold winters, gardeners in zones 2 through 4 should plant these trees in early spring to allow for as much new root growth as possible before the onset of winter. Measure the size of the root ball of the white spruce. Dig the planting hole the same depth as the root ball, but two to three times as wide. Do not add soil amendments or fertilizers to the soil placed back around the tree once positioned in the planting hole. After the hole is filled, create a low berm around the tree to act as a catch basin for irrigation water. Keep the root ball of the planted tree well-watered for the first six months so that the soil remains moist, not soggy.

Jesus at Caesarea Philippi Part I – Rock at Caesarea Philippi Part IV - Pagan god Pan Vs Jesus Caesarea Philippi was originally called Paneas because it was the center for the worship of the Greek god Pan. Today, the area is called Banias which is an Arabic variant of Paneas. Stanley L. Jaki in his book AND ON THIS ROCK writes: Pan’s cult … was a celebration of fertility. That the celebration readily took on forms of plain orgy is suggested by Pan’s most characteristic features: a head decorated with horns, a leery and lustful smile, and the prancing legs of a goat. The name Pan, a contraction from Paon, gave origin to the word panic, which may have first referred to the stampeding of a herd. Its further meaning as human fright was a logical outgrowth of the unbridled lust that made Pan’s sanctuary first an alluring and then a frightening experience to many. [pages 24-28] The niches carved out in the rock at Caesarea Philippi were for statues of their pagan gods. In Jesus’s time a person would have found a wooden statue of Pan in each of these niches. We can make many contrasts between the Pagan god of Pan and the One True God, Jesus Christ, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit make up our Triune God. The Encyclopedia Encarta gives the following information on Pan. “Pan (mythology), in Greek mythology, god of shepherds and flocks. He was believed to be responsible for their fertility. … Pan was especially fond of remote mountains and caves and was believed to be responsible for the sudden, inexplicable fear, or panic, … In the 2nd century ad the Greek essayist Plutarch recorded that during the reign of Emperor Tiberius travelers sailing along the west coast of Greece heard a loud voice proclaiming the death of the great god Pan. In Christian legend, this story was associated with the Passion of Christ, which occurred during the reign of Tiberius, and was held to portend the victory of Christ over the pagan gods.” While Pan was the Pagan god of shepherds, Jesus is the True Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His flock. John 10:1-14. While Pan was considered the god of fertility by the pagans, Jesus is truly the “Author of Life,” Acts 3:15, and He gives everlasting life to those who follow Him. See John 11:20-26 Pan was considered responsible for panic and fear. In the Book of Hebrew we read how Satan holds people in bondage through fear. Because of temptation a person often fears the pain that comes with dying to oneself in order to do God’s Will. And unfortunately we often choose sin thinking that it is the path of pleasure without suffering. Of course, when people do sin they inevitably bring about suffering at some point into their own lives and they often cause suffering in those closest to them. However, Jesus broke that bondage of sin and fear, so that by His grace we are enabled to die to our selfishness so that we might have new life in Jesus Christ. Jesus’s death and Resurrection destroys Satan’s power over us which is the fear of death and the fear of dying to ourselves. This fear is represented by Golgotha, the Place of the Skull, and it was there that Jesus defeated Satan and ransomed us by paying the price of our sins. Golgotha is also called Calvary, since Calvary comes from the Latin word for “skull.” And right next to Calvary is the Resurrection Tomb. While the translation above is more literal, some translators use “the jaws of death shall not prevail against it.” Jesus’s defeat of Satan is the fulfillment of the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 which recorded that the Messiah would crush the head of the Serpent. See Separate Article on Genesis 3:15 The Jordan River has immense theological significance in both the Old and New Testaments. The water that flows from Caesarea Philippi forms one of the three sources of the Jordan River. By far, Caesarea Philippi is the most scenic. In a short distance downstream it forms into the waterfall and the swift stream that are pictured below.

The next	A million dollars in cash (£640,000) awaits anyone who can develop a rigorous mathematical model for how fluids flow – this week's Millennium Prize Problem. Fluids are extremely difficult to analyse because they can flow in such complicated ways. The next time you're bored in the kitchen, take a glass of water and let it stand until it's completely still (which takes longer than you might expect). Then use a straw to release a drop of food colouring from a height into the glass and watch how it disperses. Even better: try imagining how you think it would look. Most people imagine the dye forming a cloud of colour that gradually disperses. In reality, the colouring will spread out, apparently without mixing, into surprisingly aesthetically pleasing but random patterns. More often than not, the drop will magically form a ring and travel down to the bottom of the glass without spreading out. That a drop of liquid could form a ring and move undiluted through water goes against all our intuition. But it shouldn't come as a surprise: fluids are always doing this. The same process lies behind the formation of smoke rings. Our world is awash with fluid. From the blood that courses through our veins to the cytoplasm in every cell, our bodies are dependent on liquids. And we spend our lives at the bottom of the atmospheric ocean that is fluid air. You can't move without stirring this sea of gases, so ubiquitous they almost go unnoticed. Given how inextricably linked we are to fluids, it is disconcerting to discover that we do not have a precise mathematical understanding of how they move. Well, we have a working model, but there is no guarantee that it will not one day go horribly wrong. Any mathematical description of how an object moves when you hit it starts with Newton's equation F=ma (the force applied equals the mass of the object multiplied by the resulting acceleration). Fluids, however, are a collection of countless particles all interacting, so we need a variation on F=ma that takes into account the sum effect across all the objects that comprise a fluid. Then we need to consider its "viscosity", which is a measure of how much the particles resist flowing over each other. Water is a low viscosity fluid while honey is high viscosity. Put all of this together and you get: Where u is the velocity of the fluid at position x and this changes over time t. The symbol v is the viscosity of the fluid and p represents pressure.

Twenty years previously, Darfur was also the site of a disastrous famine. Famine that Kills is a seminal account of that famine, and a social history of the region. In a new preface prepared for this revised edition, Alex de Waal analyzes the roots of the current conflict in land disputes, social disruption and impoverishment. Despite vast changes in the nature of famines and in the capacity of response, de Waal's original challenge to humanitarian theory and practice including a focus on the survival strategies of rural people has never been more relevant. Documenting the resilience of the people who suffered, it explains why many fewer died than had been predicted by outsiders. It is also a pathbreaking study of the causes of famine deaths, showing how outbreaks of infectious disease killed more people than starvation. Now a classic in the field, Famine that Kills provides critical background and lessons of past intervention for a region that finds itself in

Tropical flowering plants from the rainforest are valued for their unusual blooms, which often exhibit strange and exotic forms, colors and patterns. Though not all tropical flowers are well suited for home gardening, there are many species that are. A member of the madder family, ixora (Ixora coccinea), also called jungle flame, is a flowering shrub native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. The plant typically grows to be around 4 or 5 feet tall, although it may grow to be twice that height in ideal conditions. Ixora boasts dense oblong green leaves accented by clusters of brilliant flowers, in colors ranging from scarlet to yellow depending on the cultivar. The plant is best suited to cultivation in USDA zones 9 to 11, preferably with full sun in the morning and partial shade in the afternoon. The plant will tolerate salinity, but not alkalinity, which causes the plant's foliage to yellow. An acidic, moist soil that is watered frequently and enhanced with high nitrogen fertilizer is perfect for this plant. Nun orchid (Phaius tankervilliae) is an herbaceous perennial native to parts of tropical Asia, as well as tropical Australia. The rainforest plant boasts a 3- or 4-foot stalk of brownish red and white orchid flowers, which appear in the late spring. Nun orchid is not tolerant of cold weather and will only thrive outdoors in USDA zones 9 to 11, though it may be grown as a houseplant in cooler areas. Nun orchid does best in a light shade or dappled sunlight. A moist, well-drained and humus-rich soil is ideal for this plant. Water frequently, but not enough to cause the soil to become waterlogged or soggy. A native of the tropical rainforests of Brazil, urn plant (Aechmea chantinii "Samuri") is a flowering perennial bromeliad of about 3 feet that sports stiff, thick silvery green leaves. The plant flowers in summer, producing a tall stalk of waxy red or bright orange flowers. Urn plant is a popular specimen or container plant in tropical climates, and is a popular houseplant throughout the world. Urn plant does best in USDA zones 10A to 11A, in partial sunlight. A well-drained, neutral loam is ideal for this plant. Water urn plant frequently, enough to keep the soil consistently moist to the touch.

It is situated in a long, narrow, and fertile basin along the Han River, between the Qin (Tsinling) and Micang mountain ranges. To the north one of the few routes across the Qin Mountains joins it to Baoji in Shaanxi, while southwestward a route leads into Sichuan province. The route into Sichuan was traditionally an important one, linking the Wei River valley, seat of successive dynastic capitals, with the rich Sichuan Basin. The first road was constructed in the 3rd century bce during the Qin dynasty to take carriage traffic. In earlier historical times the area had belonged to the Chu state, based in the middle Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) region. It was annexed in 312 bce by the Qin and established as the Hanzhong Commandery. On the collapse of the Qin in 207 bce, Liu Bang, who as the Gaozu emperor founded the Han dynasty, was installed as prince of Hanzhong; the dynasty takes its name from that of the prince’s fief. Throughout the ages Hanzhong has remained the administrative centre of the mountainous frontier district between Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi provinces and has been a place of major strategic importance, constituting the key to control of Sichuan. During the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo) period (220–280 ce) it was a battleground between the northern state of Wei and the kingdom of Shu-Han in Sichuan. At this time the city was given the name Liangzhou, which it held intermittently until the 10th century. In 784 it was given the name of Xingyuan to commemorate the fact that the Tang empe

While the routine of school has been replaced with a relaxing and care-free schedule, one educational task is still needed—reading. Research has concluded that children who do not read during the summer could lose up to three months of progress. With a minimum of ten minutes of reading daily, the goal of surpassing the end-of-year level can be quite simple to attain. Through the guidance of book lists and a number of engaging activities, children can keep on appreciating the splendor of summer while continuing to learn and read. One of the best ways to acquire high-interest books for your child is to receive a recommendation from your local librarian. He or she will be able to share vital news, such as popular titles or a great series. The public library often features a reading contest, not only to encourage reading among students, but to enable them to participate in the many activities offered during the summer months. Some libraries will have movie nights or scheduled game days, and feature exciting presentations in June, July, and August. Visiting the public library throughout the summer will boost interest and help young children to delight in the routine of reading. If you are planning a long car ride, consider bringing along a few audio books that would appeal to the entire family. You may be surprised to hear fewer requests to use the bathroom or cries of, “How much longer?” Instead, every passenger will be keenly listening to the narrator’s voice, awaiting the next line. To help you select the right audio book, please be aware that children are able to listen to books up to two years above their reading level. To ensure your child can follow the story, it is important to ask questions as you are listening. Lastly, listening to audio books will improve the skill of listening and retaining information. While not everyone has the keen ability to listen, with time, the skill of becoming an auditory learner will improve. Letters and Words to Reading Notes From symbols on sign posts to the names of buildings, reading can be accomplished with a simple game. Allowing your children to be interactive passengers, ask them to read speed limit signs, interpret road signs, and read the names of various businesses and restaurants. With practice, the ease of pronouncing words will improve. Preschool children will also enjoy matching the word with the household object

A few days after Christmas, Baltimore resident Kathleen Dudley began experiencing telltale signs of the flu — fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, cough and overall exhaustion. "The worst part — the fever and chills — lasted for about 24 hours," she says. "But the fatigue and cold symptoms lasted much longer." According to the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, between Oct. 1 and Jan. 5, 6,273 Marylanders tested positive for influenza; nearly 30 percent of those positive tests occurred during the week ending Jan. 5. "According to the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], this year's flu season is among the highest in recent years," says Dr. Marc Leavey, an internal medicine physician with Lutherville Personal Physicians. "The flu is a serious disease," he says. "Every year, thousands of people die from the flu. You can't shake off the flu, and if you've never had it, consider yourself lucky. But luck runs out." For those who think it's too late for a shot or are holding onto other myths about the flu, we asked local experts to give us answers about how to prevent getting the influenza virus and what to do if you already have it. Hint: Chicken soup is good for more than the soul. What are the basic steps I should take to avoid getting the flu? "Get a flu shot, wash your hands and use common sense," says Leavey. The flu vaccine is especially important for people at higher risk for flu complications. "If you have medical problems or are elderly or young, you are at higher risk for complications of the flu," says Dr. Joi Johnson-Weaver, a family medicine physician at GBMC at Perry Hall. During this flu season in Maryland, 47 percent of people who have been hospitalized because of influenza were 65 or older. Who should get the flu shot? "The CDC recommends that everyone age 6 months and up should get the shot," says Johnson-Weaver. Flu season typically begins in the fall and lasts through the spring. Though it is currently midseason, physicians stress that it is not too late to get the shot. "In fact, even if you have had the flu, the CDC recommends that you get a flu vaccine," says Leavey. The vaccine can still protect you from other strains of the disease. However, people with certain conditions, including allergies, current febrile illness or a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome, may not be good candidates for the vaccine. If you have any doubts about whether you are an appropriate candidate, talk with your physician before getting the vaccine. How do I get the flu shot? "The easiest way," says Leavey, "is to ask your physician. The flu vaccine is normally covered by health insurance and Medicare, and there are free flu shot clinics throughout the area. You can check online or call your local health department for information." Flu shots are also available at many pharmacies and through some employers. What is the difference between the flu shot and the nasal-spray flu vaccine? According to Johnson-Weaver, "The flu shot is an inactivated virus that is delivered via a shot. The flu mist is a weakened live virus given through a spray in the nose." Johnson-Weaver says the mist is more effective than the shot, but it is only appropriate for healthy, non-pregnant people between the ages of 2 and 49. If I get the flu shot, will that guarantee that I won't get the flu? Not necessarily, according to physicians, who say the vaccine is between 60 percent and 65 percent effective. Each year, says Johnson-Weaver, the vaccine is retooled to match the strain of flu scientists predict will be most prevalent that season. "Over the last 10 years," she says, "the vaccine has been matched well to the current flu virus." Still, warns Leavey, not all strains are covered. This year, "The A(H3N2) seems to be a particularly severe strain which may not be well-covered by the current vaccine. It is causing about 10 percent to 15 percent of the cases" this season. How long does it take for a flu shot to be effective? If I get one this year, do I need another next flu season? "It takes several weeks for your body to develop antibodies to the influenza virus after getting a vaccine," says Leavey. He and Johnson-Weaver agree that a flu shot is necessary every year, since each year new strains of the virus circulate. My office mate seems sick. How can I avoid catching what she has? The flu is an airborne virus, though most flu viruses are transmitted through touch, according to Leavey. "Don't l

Ma Chao, Teng	Traditionally, Ma Teng and Han Sui are portrayed as being loyal subjects of the Han dynasty starting with the Ming novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” and the various media that has followed it. Ma Chao, Teng’s most famous son, is portrayed similarly. Han Sui was an officer in modern Lanzhou at the time of the outbreak of the Liang Rebellion and joined the Qiang and Lesser Yuezhi mutineers of the Auxiliary of Loyal Barbarians in late 184. He quickly emerged as rebel leader alongside his colleague Bian Zhang. Ma Teng, half-Qiang himself, was a foot soldier in the government armies rising to major under Inspector Geng Bi by 187. He claimed descent from Ma Yuan, a famous general who helped establish the Later Han dynasty. Following the inspector’s death in battle, Ma Teng switched sides and quickly caught attention. He styled himself a general under Wang Guo, the new rebel leader. When loyalist forces under Huangfu Song defeated Wang at Chencang during an attack on Chang’an and deposed in 189 Ma Teng took control of Longxi commandery, fighting the Qiang and Di. From there he exerted control over the middle Wei River as one of three main rebel commanders. Han Sui, holding Jincheng commandery, was another and commanded the majority of the Liang troops. Song Jian, who adopted the grandiose title “King of the Sources of the Yellow River, Pacifier of Han”, was the third and later set up an independent state from his base at Fuhan. With the turmoil caused by the Han succession disputes and Dong Zhuo’s coup no one paid attention to events in Liang province. Dong, however,
THE SUFFRAGETTES’ TREE: CENTENNIAL EVENTS IN CELEBRATION OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY (pdf), Bath, 7th—11th March, 2011 Between 1909 and 191	THE SUFFRAGETTES’ TREE: CENTENNIAL EVENTS IN CELEBRATION OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY (pdf), Bath, 7th—11th March, 2011 Between 1909 and 1912, over sixty suffragettes who were recovering from the harsh treatment they had received while imprisoned for their political activism came to stay with the Blathwayt family at Eagle House in Batheaston, Somerset. As committed supporters of the women’s movement, the Blathwayts wanted not only to help the women recover physically, but also to record, in the very landscape, the cause for which they struggled. As such, they created a very special garden in the grounds of their villa, encouraging the suffragettes who stayed with themto plant trees and bushes commemorating their efforts and their hopes for the future of women's political equality. Photographs of this beautiful field of trees, or ‘Annie’s Arboretum’ as it was also called, after the suffragette Annie Kenney, can be viewed online via Bath in Time (www.bathintime.co.uk — see ‘Social History’).

The village is connected with the nearby Railway station Jamalganj, the district town Naogaon and Jaipurhat town by metalled roads. It is in the midst of alluvial flat plain of northern Bangladesh. In contrast to the monotonous level of the plain, stands the ruins of the lofty (about 24m high from the surrounding level) ancient temple which was covered with jungle, locally called Pahar or hill from which the name Paharpur is derived. The site was first noticed by Buchanon Hamilton in course of his survey in Eastern India between 1807 and 1812. It was next visited by Westmacott. Sir Alexander Cunningham visited the place in 1879. Cunningham intended to carry out an extensive excavation in the mound. But he was prevented by zamindar of Balihar, the owner of the land. So he had to be satisfied with limited excavation in a small part of the monastic area and top of the central mound. In the latter area he 'discovered the ruins of a square tower of 22 feet side with a projection in the middle of each side'. The site was declared to be protected by the Archaeological Survey of India in 1919 under the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act of 1904. Regular and systematic excavation was jointly started here in 1923 by Archaeological Survey of India, varendra research society of Rajshahi and Calcutta University. In the beginning the joint mission carried out the work with the financial help of Kumar sarat kumar ray of Dighapatia Zamindar family and under the guidance of DR Bhandarkar, Professor of Ancient History and former Superintendent of Archaeological Survey of India, Western Circle. The work was confined to a few rooms at the south-west corner of the monastery and the adjoining courtyard. The work was resumed in 1925-26 by RD Banerjee, who excavated in the northern part of the central mound. From the next season (1926-27) onward excavation was carried out under the supervision of KN Dikshit with the exception of seasons of the 1930-32. In these two seasons GC Chandra conducted the excavation. In the last two seasons (1932-34) the work was carried out at satyapir bhita, a mound at a distance of 364m east of the central temple. During Pakistan period lower levels of a few monastic cells on the eastern wing were excavated by Rafique Mughal, but the results were never published. After independence the site was further brought under excavation by the Department of Archaeology of Bangladesh. The operations took place in two phases. The first phase was initiated in 1981-82 and continued in every season up to 1984-1985. The second phase was started in 1988-89 and continued in the next two seasons up to 1990-91. In the first phase excavations were aimed at establishing the three major building phases of the cells which Dikshit mentioned in his excavation report and discovering the information of early levels. But in the second phase the works were confined to clear the cultural debris from the courtyard of the monastery. Architectural remains Pre-liberation expeditions have revealed the architectural remains of a vast Buddhist monastery, the somapura mahavihara, measuring 274.15m N-S and 273.70m E-W. This gigantic establishment with surrounding 177 monastic cells, gateways, votive stupas, minor chapels, tank and a multitude of other structures for the convenience of the inmates, is dominated by a central shrine, conspicuous by its lofty height and architectural peculiarities. It is distinguished by its cruciform shape with angles of projection between the arms, its three raised terraces and complicated scheme of decoration of walls with carved brick cornices, friezes of terracotta plaques and stone reliefs. The monastery The entire establishment, occupying a quadrangular court, has high enclosure walls, about 5m in thickness and from 3.6m to 4.5m in height. Though the walls are not preserved to a very great height, but from their thickness and massiveness it can be assumed that the structure was storeyed commensurate with the lofty central shrine. In plan it consists of rows of cells, each approximately 4.26 ´ 4.11m in area all connected by a spacious verandah (about 2.43 to 2.74m wide), running continuously all around, and approached from the inner courtyard by flight of steps provided in the middle of each of the four sides. There are in all 177 cells, excluding the cells of the central block in each direction; 45 cells on the north and 44 in each of the other three sides. The central block on the east, west and south sides is marked by a projection in the exterior wall and con

Over the next seven months	Joe O’Donnell, the man who took this photo at Nagasaki, was sent by the U.S. military to document the damage inflicted on the Japanese homeland caused by air raids of fire bombs and atomic bombs. Over the next seven months starting September 1945, he traveled across Western Japan chronicling the devastation, revealing the plight of the bomb victims including the dead, the wounded, the homeless and orphaned. Images of the human suffering was etched both on his negatives and his heart. In the photo, the boy stands erect, having done his duty by bringing his dead brother to a cremation ground. Standing at attention was an obvious military influence. Looking at the boy who carries his younger sibling on his back, keeps a stiff upper lip, tries so hard to be brave is heart-breaking. He has epitomized the spirit of a defeated nation. Years later Joe O’Donnell spoke to a Japanese interviewer about this picture: “I saw a boy about ten years old walking by. He was carrying a baby on his back. In those days

Developed and developing economies alike need energy to sustain and grow. This energy market is monopolised by the fossil fuel industry. Oil, natural gas and other energy producing fossil fuels have not only helped build some of the biggest companies in the world, but have also aided the development and solidification of certain national economies like the Gulf states and Venezuela. This monopoly in the energy sector seems to have given oil corporations power over states – allowing certain companies to be careless in cleaning up massive oil spills, such as the one in Ogoniland, Nigeria. One could argue that Nigeria has had a harder time dealing with its oil spill as compared to the United States, because of its weaker political clout in the international arena. In 2010, the US government made BP accept its moral responsibility for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and fined the company $18.6 billion for a one-time occurrence. Whereas in Nigeria, there have been a number of oil spills and nobody has taken full responsibility. A UNEP report says that cleaning up Ogoniland might take up to 30 years. That’s three decades of hard work to rectify the destruction caused by an aloof and irresponsible corporation. Damage to the environment to this degree is absolutely criminal and there should be some form of retribution. Yet, nothing has happened. The world sleeps while Ogoniland becomes inhabitable. Oil spills can be extremely damaging for the environment, as evidenced by environmental damage caused in Nigeria and the Gulf of Mexico, but for me, the bigger problem is oil itself. Oil companies are surreptitiously causing an even bigger environmental hazard by emitting Green House Gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. Moreover, their hold over the global economy and their power grabbing ways has made it difficult for the world to endorse renewable energy. While many countries are trying to reach a deal for the future of our planet in Paris, big oil has been constantly lobbying to make it difficult for an agreement to be reached. Fortunately for us, they are fighting an evolving economy, one that won’t have much room for them in the future. The elephant in the room, and the third reason to be wary of fossil fuels, comes from a seventh grade geography book – fossil fuels are called non-renewable energy sources because there is a finite amount that we can dig up. Oil wells will eventually run dry, and when they do, the world economy will be in a flux. In fact, even before the wells dry up, we can foresee a situation where demands would far exceed the supply and prices would start shooting up. The process has already begun. We are all well aware of the fact that a scarcity of resources can lead to intense competition and outbreak of violence. One of the reasons for the civil war in Syria has been the diminishing supply of water in rural areas. Unfortunately, a recent study has revealed that Pakistan has much higher oil and shale gas reserves than what was previously known. For me, this finding is a curse disguised as a natural resource blessing. As the world moves closer to an agreement on climate at the Conference of Parties (COP) in Paris, the prevailing economic structure in the world is going to have a fundamental transformation, where renewable and green energy sources will eventually completely phase out fossil fuels. While big oil is spending hundreds of millions trying to promote the fossil fuel industry, public opinion in developed countries like the US is definitely in favour of action against climate change. Having said that, let’s bring the issue back home. Why should Pakistan care about climate change and big oil? Given that we have vulnerable areas and people are already being affected by climate change, we need to become cognisant of our environmental situation. Although, all of us would certainly like the idea of having some of our own oil to ensure self-sufficiency in the energy sector, we desperately need to allocate some of our resources into developing renewable forms of energy in the country.
Accutane - Powerful drug derived from vitamin A that's used in the treatment of severe acne. The generic name is isotretinoin. If taken during pregnancy, it's highly likely to cause severe Accutane birth defects. Acne	Accutane - Powerful drug derived from vitamin A that's used in the treatment of severe acne. The generic name is isotretinoin. If taken during pregnancy, it's highly likely to cause severe Accutane birth defects. Acne - Skin condition characterized by plugging and inflammation that involves the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It can take many forms including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, and nodules. Acne vulgaris - Medical term used to describe acne. Adult-onset acne - Overwhelmingly a condition of females, this type of acne turns up after the age of 18. It can crop up in women's 20s, 30s, or even later in life. It's sometimes referred to as female adult acne or post-adolescent acne. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) - Fruit acids found in plants, constituents of many over the counter acne and cosmetic products, such as moisturizers and sunscreens. Also used in chemical peels. Allantion - A derivative of uric acid that is soothing and calming to the skin. Androgens - General term for hormones that have masculinizing features. Both males and females produce them. They cause the sebaceous gland to enlarge and produce more sebum, an important factor in the development of acne. Antioxidants - Chemicals that neutralize free radicals that cause damage to the body and skin. These come from eating fruits and vegetables and also can be applied topically to help heal the surface of the skin. Astringent - Solution that removes oil from the skin. Often used after a facial wash to remove any remaining traces of a cleanser. Azelaic acid - Natural chemical produced by yeast. Used as a topical agent to treat acne and rosacea. It can also also be used to lighten the skin. Basal Layer - The lowermost layer of the epidermis. This layer provides replacement cells that travel upward and replenish the skin with new cells. Benzoyl peroxide - Topical antibacterial agent used to treat acne. Found in more over the counter and prescription products than any other topical agent. Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) - A class of acids, including salicylic acid, that are used as exfoliants. They're found in many over the counter acne and cosmetic products, such as moisturizers and sunscreens. They're also used in chemical peels. Blackhead - An open comedo. The dark acne lesion that consists of a plug of keratin and sebum. The dark color is due to a buildup of melanin. Blue light therapy - Visible light treatment that works by killing the acne producing bacteria, p.acnes, for a short period of time. Board Certified Physician - In relation to plastic surgery, surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). They undergo rigorous training, including medical school, a plastic surgery residency program, and an additional minimum of five years of surgical training. A surgeon must also pass comprehensive oral written exams in order to be ABPS certified. The ABPS is the only board recognized to certify surgeons in plastic surgery of the face and body by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Chemical peel - Application of chemicals to the face in order to exfoliate the outer layer of skin cells. Clindamycin - Topical antibiotic often used to treat acne. Closed comedo - See whitehead. Cold-expeller pressed oils - Oils that are extracted from vegetables without heat. Most other vegetables oils in the grocery stores, such as canola and corn oils, are heat extracted. Purchase only cold-expeller pressed vegetable oils, are heat extracted. Purchase only cold expeller pressed vegetable oils because they don't contain trans-fatty acids. You can find them at the health food store or health food section of your grocery store. Collagen - A protein that forms the chief constituent of the connective tissue and bones. It gives skin strength and durability. Age related declines in collagen production cause thinning of the skin, wrinkles, and sagging. Cosmeceuticals such as vitamin C and eating foods rich in amino acids stimulate collagen production. Comedo - Plug of keratin and sebum within a hair follicle. It can appear as a blackhead or a whitehead. Comedo extraction - A procedure performed with a round loop that's used to apply pressure to dislodge the contents of blackheads and whiteheads. Comedogenic - Products that induce the formation of comedones. Comedogenesis - Medical term for the process that forms whiteheads and blackheads. Comedolytic - Signifies that the product breaks up and inhibits comedo formation. Comedonal acne - See non-inflammatory acne. Comedone - A pore clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. Complete protein - A food that contains all nine essential amino acids. Only animal based foods contain complete protein. Congestion - This is skin that's bumpy and stopped up. The natural oils and skin sloughing has slowed down leaving the skin looking unclear and dull. Contact dermatitis - Allergic reaction or irritant response to things that have touched your skin. Poison ivy and

Some of the simplest phenomena and everyday occurrences which do not strike one as of any particular interest, abound with scientific explanations. WHO would imagine, when watching soldiers marching across a bridge, that they do so under orders to “break step.” If this were not done there would be a rhythmic motion set up in the bridge structure—a steady tramp-tramp—which would likely disrupt any small bridge and perhaps even a very large one (Fig. 1). Can a submarine remain stationary at any desired level? The answer is that it cannot, unless a slight headway is maintained or water is admitted to and discharged from the trimming tanks. A submarine cannot find a state of hydrostatic equilibrium or a point at which all pressures are equal. Is it possible for a ship like the Titanic to sink in deep water, and eventually reach a point where the water pressure is great enough to prevent the ship from settling to the bed of the sea? Although this question has been argued pro and con many times in the columns of scientific journals, the fact remains that no such effect will be found; the wrecked ship will descend until it rests on the ocean bed. How fast would an airplane have to fly to leave the influence of this earth forever? Scientists have computed, that any space flyer would have to be hurled from the earth at an initial velocity in excess of 7 miles per second. Such a ma- chine would reach the moon in less than 10 hours. (However, gradual acceleration could effect a departure, without such a high starting speed.) Could one man hold a Zeppelin? The answer is yes, if the ship is carefully trimmed and balanced, as is the case when she is just brought out from the hangar preparatory to a flight. Does putting oil on the water help to quiet angry waves? Yes, this is a regular recognized practice at sea when the waves are running high and a ship is in distress. The oil helps to prevent white caps, but it does not stop the general swell of the waves. Does the rotation of the earth cause wear on certain banks of a river? Yes, theoretically, at least. There doesn’t seem to be any measurable proof. In rivers running north and south, in the Northern Hemisphere, there is a tendency to wear away right-hand banks, as shown in the diagram in Fig. 7, due to the rotation of the earth. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the left-hand banks that receive the most wear. How does science help in releasing a tight pulley.’ A usual method of removing a pulley is to apply heat from a blow-torch to the pulley and ice bags to the steel shaft. The resulting contraction and expansion often permit the removal of the pulley when it otherwise refuses to yield. Fig. 9 shows one way to stop a “flue” fire, simply by placing a cap or pan over the top of the chimney and thus checking draft of air through the chimney. Another trick is to put salt in the fire in a stove con- nected with the burning flue; the gases gen-crated help to snuff out the flames in the chimney. Fig. 10 shows how violins and other high-pitched instruments are placed near the “mike” in broadcasting, while the bass violins, etc., are placed further back. The low notes, emitted by bass instruments, have more energy in them, or are stronger than the high-pitched notes coming from the flute, violin, etc., hence, in broadcasting studios, the majority of wind instruments are usually placed further away from the “mike,” as are drums, etc. An interesting and everyday occurrence in homes and offices is the vibration of a metal picture frame, or other similar object, when a certain note is sounded on the piano, or radio (Fig. 11). This is due to the fact that the frame has a natural frequency corresponding to the note struck, hence it vibrates sympathetically. It is not generally known that if a high voltage direct current is passed through a wire grid in a chimney, smoke from the boilers can be eliminated. The high voltage electrical charges cause the carbon particles, comprising the smoke, to become charged and they are precipitated to the bottom of the stack. Fig. 13 shows an interesting problem which public address engineers have to conjure with at times. A person sitting a certain distance from the speaker’s platform may experience the unusual sensation of hearing the speaker’s voice coming out of the loudspeaker before he hears the natural voice coming from the stage. This is due to the fact that sound travels only at about 1100 feet per second in air, while the electrical current, carrying the voice from the “mike” to the loud speaker, travels at 186,000 miles per second. Consequently, good judgment has to be used by the engineers in planning P. A. systems. If a tank full of water has 3 openings, as shown in Fig. 14, the middle jet will produce the longest stream. Does smoke blowing downward from a chimney indicate rain? No. This is an old theory, but it has little to recommend it. Smoke rises because of its higher temperature. If the outside air is as warm as the smoke, or if the smoke is “ch

Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it’s important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. The amount of water you need depends on a variety of factors, including the climate you live in, how physically active you are, and whether you’re experiencing an illness or have any other health problems. While there is absolutely no doubt that we all need water to survive, here are some specific benefits that you may not have know about — cheers to your good health! Drink water before and after sleeping Drinking a glass of water before sleep can dilute the thickness of blood and reduce the risks of angina and heart failure, which tend to occur in the early morning. Drinking a glass of water in the morning gets rid of waste through sweat and urination, which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary tract infections). Water helps when you have a cold or flu When you are sick with a cold or flu, your body sweats and you urinate more as your metabolic rate increases. Water in your body is lost faster than normal and you need to take in more to make up for the shortfall. Water can also reduce your body temperature and helps to flush out harmful bacteria. Inhaling steam from a humidifier or pot of boiling water can help clear up congestion, while salt water can also break up all the gunk that makes you stuffy. Eat water and rice porridge for an upset stomach A small bowl of water and rice porridge is helpful for an upset stomach. The temperature of the porridge should be at least 140°F (60°C), so that a gelatinization can be produced to soothe the stomach and to make digestion easier. The porridge can also lubricate the bowels and move out toxins. Water helps to prevent constipation Water helps to prevent constipation by dissolving fats and soluble fiber. It also reduces the burden on the kidneys and liver by helping to flush waste products. In the large intestine, water binds with fiber to increase the bulk of the stools, reduce transit time, and make elimination easier. When you don’t drink enough water, the lining of the intestine pulls water from your stool, increasing your risk of constipation. Water helps to expel harmful substances Nausea is how the body protects itself when bad food is ingested. Vomiting, while gross, is beneficial as it is your body’s way of eliminating harmful substances in the stomach and gut. If vomiting is difficult, a glass of lightly salted water can be used to stimulate vomiting and to supplement water in the body after vomiting. Water helps to reduce weight Anyone looking to lose weight could be helped by upping their water intake. Studies have found that when people drink water before a meal, they lose weight faster than those who do not drink water. An extra amount of water helps you eat less by making you feel full, and it may also boost your metabolism. Water helps you get a good night’s rest Your body temperature plays a big role in getting a good night’s rest. A hot shower or bath before you go to bed raises your body temperature a degree or two. The steep drop in temperature at bedtime is more likely to put you into a deep sleep.

The organ that synthesizes food materials is called a source, in crop plants the mature leaf is always a source. Then the organ that accumulate the synthesized food material is known as a sink. The source is the potential capacity for photosynthesis (Po) and the sink is the potential capacity to utilize the photosynthetic products of the source. For example in wheat grain in the part of starch is the photosynthetic product of the leaves which then trans located directly to the fruiting grain after flowering The ripening of wheat grain can be considered a process of accumulation of content. The grain yield may be limited by either the amount of its contents. If the contents are small the yield cannot be high. On the other hand, even if the contents are large, the yield cannot be high if the content is limited. Their procedure and active appear to determine the nature of crop performance.beevers (3) and Evans (15) gave some broad indication of source and sink. Molecular level transformation s involving volume flow of assimilates, phloem loading and unloading, general assimilates pools, and metabolic step in multiple enzyme systems with coupled biochemical processes were covered in a very basic way by Gifford et al ( 17), Hendrix et al (21), the scope of this review is limited to structural and productivity level of source and sink. SOURCE AND SINKS The continued growth of any plant depends primarily on photosynthetic activity in the leaves and the transport of organic compounds from the leaves to hetertrophics cells. The source supplies assimilates (C compound) to the sink. The sink accepts and consumes the assimilates for its own growth or accumulates them for a certain period. the sink source relationship resembles the demand –supply relationship in economics (52). In general, any plant part that has photosynthetic ability is considered a source, and non green cells, tissue, and organ are considered sinks. Thus, leaves are typical source, and stem, roots and tubers are typical sinks. The sink and source functions of any plant part may chage depending on its developmental stage for example, in rice, before flowering, the leaf sheath and culm accumulates sugars and starch i.e. act as sinks ( 79). After flowering, most of the accumulated carbohydrates move into spiklets (10). Developing organs, tubers, nongreen aeriel plant parts, bud, flowers, fruits, and most of the cells in stems and petioles also constitute a drain on photosynthetic products and are thus sink. Even within leaves there are many cells without chloroplasts. And the autotrophics cells themselves consume photosynthate in their own growth and respiration. Developing buds and meristematic regions in root place demands on the available assimi

If you are reading this article then you are probably looking for more information regarding why some people have cold feet. Some people get cold feet at bedtime and this is a common aggravation. This problem develops because our body temperature drops slightly when people get ready to go to sleep which can result in cold extremities. Peripheral neuropathy which is also known as impaired circulation to the feet is a common cause of chronic cold feet. This is more likely to occur in people with diabetes, elderly people or inactive individuals. hello its me again hello its me again why oh why Another circulation problem, peripheral vascular disease narrows blood vessels which restricts blood flow. This can result in raised blood pressure along with cold feet and fingers. An individual with ateherosclerosis may also suffer from chronic cold feet. This is a condition where fatty material adheres to artery walls which also causes angina and high blood pressure. Anemia can also cause cold feet, this is a condition where an individual will have a low level of healthy red blood cells which also results in headaches and Another Factor could be Rynanuds Sydrome Parasites which are harmful organisms that enter your body can also be responsible for cold feet. They will absorb and eat the nutrition that is necessary in order to maintain good health. Diagnosing body parasites can be very difficult, however if you do suffer from chronic cold feet sensations then it is important that you have body cleaned of Allergic reactions can also be another cause of cold feet. Allergies can result in decreased blood pressure which can result in cold feet and hands. Therefore it is important to monitor your food intake and watch out for allergenic foods. The temperature of the feet is determined by the combination of outside temperature and the level of circulation you have, the less amount of blood that gets to your feet, the colder your feet will become. four It is important that you have a regular cardiovascular workout in order to fight and prevent the problem of cold feet. If you exercise regularly then this will increase the blood flow and reduce the risk of you getting cold feet.

The prevalent idea today is that the Sabbath was made "for the Jews"—but that is not what Christ says! Christ says it was made "for man"! It was something created for the benefit of all of mankind, not just for a certain group of people. God created the Sabbath immediately after He created the human race—not at the origination of the Jews: Verse 31 shows that this happened on the sixth day of creation week. Further, man was the very last thing or being created on that day. Man came into being, then, probably in the late afternoon of the sixth day. When "God said, 'Let Us make man,'" who spoke? As John 1:1-3, 14 shows, Jesus Christ is also called the Word—that is, the Spokesman. He speaks only as the Father directs. God created all things by Jesus Christ (Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16). Therefore, the One who became Jesus said: "Let Us make man." Jesus did the work of creation, as instructed by the Father. Notice that He did not complete His creating on the sixth day, but it continued through the seventh day: "And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done." God ended His work, but the creation week was not yet over! Creation Week was a full seven days of creation. What did He create on the seventh day? He made the Sabbath! However, He made the Sabbath, not by work, but by ceasing from it. On the seventh day He ended the work of creation—what was created by work. He rested on the seventh day, and by doing so, created the Sabbath. He then blessed and set apart the seventh day as a day of rest and worship for mankind.

Romantic love was frowned upon and certainly no basis for matrimony. For a second marriage, a woman might exercise an element of choice, provided the man was of suitable degree - for status was everything, and to make a match that “disparaged” your blood might lead to you being cast off by your kin. Despite the risk of ostracism, love occasionally triumphed and women asserted themselves to marry lower-ranking husbands. Provided both parties stood by each other, no amount of outrage on the part of relatives could break up an unsuitable union, as the only requirement for a valid marriage was consent. Neither priest, parental consent, nor a ceremony were necessary. Between 1430 and 1565, seven ladies close to the throne braved royal wrath and scandal by marrying men of lower degree for love.

The research, presented at this year’s annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria, was undertaken by Dr Ulrika Ericson and colleagues from the Lund University Diabetes Center, Malmö, Sweden. Dietary fats could have crucial role in type 2 diabetes development Previous research has found that dietary fats could affect glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and may therefore have a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Some studies have indicated that replacing saturated fat with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats might be favourable in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. In line with this, plant sources of fat have been suggested to be a better choice compared with animal sources. Indeed, high intakes of red meat and meat products have been shown to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. High dairy intake could be protective Nevertheless, several epidemiological studies have indicated that a high intake of dairy products may be protective. Subsequently, according to the Lund University researchers, the importance of dietary fat content and food sources of fat remained to be clarified. In this new study, the researchers aimed to examine intakes of main dietary fat sources, classified according to fat content, and their association with risk of developing type 2 diabetes. “Our observations may contribute to clarifying previous findings regarding dietary fats and their food sources in relation to type 2 diabetes,” said Dr Ericson. “The decreased risk at high intakes of high- fat dairy products, but not of low-fat dairy products, indicate that dairy fat, at least partly, explains observed protective associations between dairy intake and type 2 diabetes,” she said. The study included 26 930 individuals (60 per cent women), aged 45-74 years, from the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Dietary data was collected with a modified diet history method. During 14 years of follow up, 2860 incident type 2 diabetes cases were identified. Modelling was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of diabetes incidence in quintiles of energy adjusted dietary intakes. The model included adjustments for age, sex, season, diet assessment method version, total energy intake, BMI, leisure time physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption and education. The researchers found that high intake of high-fat dairy products was associated with a 23 per ce

Shakespeare uses Hamlet’s self-pitying and self-centered character as an instrument that instructs the reader to evaluate his or her own interaction and communication with people. When life-threatening choices confront Hamlet, his actions, attitude, perception of reality, and speech illustrate how self-centered he is. Throughout the play, Hamlet is confronted with three sickening and hard situations. He is forced to make decisions that will affect himself and everyone who is circling ’round him and his so-called madness. One of the first conflicts the reader is presented with is Presented with is the “increase of appetite” in Gertrude’s sexual drive, or rather the incestuous marriage between Gertrude and Hamlet’s uncle Claudius, which is a lot for the son of the murdered King to deal with (I.2.148). This is quickly followed by Hamlet finding out that if he doesn’t “revenge his foul and most unnatural murder,” or rather that Claudius was the one who killed Late Hamlet his Dad will be “Doomed for a certain term to walk the night” (I.5.31, I.5.15). And not only is this information presented to Hamlet, but by a Ghost representing his father, which might cause him to think he’s going mad. Lastly, Hamlet’s one love, Ophelia disregards Hamlet’s love for her showing the actual written proof of love, the love letters, to her father. This causes other characters in the play to believe that Hamlet’s madness is derived from the fact that Ophelia has disregarded his love for her. In the beginning of the play, Hamlet still has a clean slate, because he hasn’t made a choice yet of what to do about what he’s been confronted with. The readers still feel sympathy for him, because of the incestuous marriage ordeal. Hamlet has the choice to tell the authorities what he heard from the Ghost. He could have received justice for what had been done, with no one being hurt, and still received plenty of sympathy from the townspeople. Instead, he takes the selfish, and most often taken path, when he takes matters into his own hands. “I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.” (402-403). It’s all an act and Hamlet is not insane. Those who are truly insane don’t proclaim it all the time. He is simply acting in the same fashion that everyone else is. Yes, it was fate for these situations to occur in Hamlet’s life, but he does have a choice in how he handles them. Before he found out about Claudius being a murderer, Hamlet gave the speech that began with “O, that this too, too sullied flesh ” when he was interrupted by Horatio and Marcellus, and like a robot switched gears to being in a totally fine mood, by responding “I am glad to see you well” (I.2.133, I.2.166). Already, he is putting on an act! Also, Claudius often addresses Hamlet in a fake manner, such as “Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet” although we know that Claudius dislikes Hamlet very much (I.2. 90-91). In addition, when Gertrude and Claudius ask Hamlet’s good friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to talk with Hamlet to see how he is really doing, they, too, are being actors. They need to get the truth out of him to try to find out the core of his madness. But, being good friends they tell him “we were sent for,” and this is the moment that Hamlet surely knows that he is being acted upon (II.2.315). It causes Hamlet to think he is going even crazier. He thought he was the smartest– the only one acting. The example that most clearly illustrates this entire acting business is when Claudius and Polonius ask Ophelia if she’ll wait in the courtyard ’til Hamlet comes round so that they can listen in on the conversation. Ophelia, the only one who Hamlet trusts, is also acting! Also when Hamlet declares “I did love you once,” and “Get thee to a nunnery” also proves that Hamlet is acting. Real love, like the kind he has for Ophelia, simply does not disappear (III.1.129, III.1.31). He is simply trying to get Ophelia to feel guilty, and come back to him. Hamlet has a pattern throughout the play of trying to get people to feel sorry for him. His motivations are: to make himself at ease, to see Claudius go to hell, to ensure his happiness at the expense of others, to ensure everyone knows how bad he has it, and to play the victim role. Throughout the

The kings of arms in England, Scotland and Ireland wear crowns, the ornamentation of which round the upper rim of the circlet is composed of a row of acanthus or oak leaves. There are two types, that found in the Acanthus spinosus, which was followed by the Greeks, and that in the Acanthus mollis, which seems to have been preferred by the Romans. Large flowing leaves of acanthus and other plants were beaten out with wonderful spirit and beauty of curve. It has twenty-four columns of Carystian (cipollino) marble, with capitals probably of Byzantine work with swelling acanthus leaves; but the rest of the church is due to native architects. The best - known is Acanthus mollis (brankursine, or bears' breech), a common species throughout the Mediterranean region, having large, deeply cut, hairy, shining leaves. In decoration, the acanthus was first reproduced in metal, and subsequently carved in stone by the Greeks. Another species, Acanthus spinosus, is so called from its spiny leaves.
