Creencias De Los Profesores Acerca Del Bilingüismo Y Sus Implicaciones En La Interacción A Partir De Un Texto Escrito En La Clase De Inglés En Dos Colegios Públicos Del Departamento Del Quindío...

Bilingualism has become an important research topic in the last years not only around the world but also in our country. For this reason, this study pretends to find out significant results that allow an improvement in the bilingual education policies which should be directly applicable in the classroom. The study took place in two public schools in Quindío. The participants in the first school were 22 students in fifth grade and their English teacher. In the second school, the participants were 39 students of seventh grade as well as their English teacher. This research presents a qualitative approach and a case study design in order to establish the sort of classroom interaction that emerges from a written text in the English class. It is necessary, then to identify the teachers’ beliefs about bilingualism, bilingual education policies and relevant issues related to bilingualism. Once these teachers’ beliefs are established, it is required to determine the way in which these beliefs are reflected in the classroom interaction.


1. Determine if it really matters
What difference will it make?
Is it important to correct him?
If not, don’t do it; it can easily backfire.
2. Criticize in private
Frequently a person will admit his error and take helpful correction without hurt feelings,
but not if it is done in front of an audience.
3. Apologize for him
Make an excuse for him so he can save face.
Let him know that there was a good reason for his doing it the wrong way.
“I’ve seen Eagle Scouts make the same mistake”
“I’ve made the same mistake myself”
“It’s easy to make such a mistake”
“I should have explained that to you”
4. Praise first before criticizing
(i.e. pat him on the back before kicking him in the pants)
“You are usually right about everything but…”
“Good campers like you often make such mistakes”
“You are so good about other things, what happened here?”
5. Focus on the act — not the person
Not “what idiot did this” but what thing was done wrong.
It is a great temptation to point out a person’s faults — don’t succumb.
6. Be specific about the error
Never be vague… point out exactly what is wrong.
7. Point out what should be done to correct the situation
Be specific about what the person can do to better his performance.
8. Follow up
Stop by later to reassure him — by your presence — that you are his friend
Let him know that the incident is closed — by your SILENCE about the matter
Let him have an opportunity to ask questions and show that he is doing it right now
If he is doing the job right, be sure to compliment him
DON’T CORRECT — HELP!

The nice amount of progress made in expertise over the previous 20 years has led many people to rethink the implications for education. Most often, the core necessities to take part within the eLearning expertise are a pc, an Web or broadband connection, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and any supplemental reading materials. It is strongly recommended to conduct a radical evaluation to determine whether or not the e-learning is one of the best solution for your coaching needs and coaching earlier than investing within the challenge.
These embrace the Internet, intranet, extranet, audio tape, video tape, CD-ROM, and satellite TELEVISION. E-Learning might be teacher-led or self-paced. To present some examples the assorted varieties of coaching embrace standup coaching, or classroom instruction.
Whereas in Mexico and there are corporations that offer e-learning solutions that involve content developed by consultants, and infrastructure management platforms and different services, the acceptance of those applied sciences isn’t yet that this industry would have.
The opposite notable e-Studying systems are computer-supported collaborative learning (or CSCL) and expertise-enhanced learning (or TEL). Hybrid: A course the place studying occurs via a mix of on-line and face-to-face instruction. Then you might have e-learning that is developed using limited interactivity and take a look at to have little or no animation.
That is, they have been significantly better when it got here to applying what they’d learned after receiving multimedia reasonably than mono-media (visual only) instruction. The eLearning Guild community is filled with great content from both inside and outdoors of the Guild.


Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State) have created a compound that makes existing antibiotics up to 16 times more effective against antibiotic-resistant “superbugs.” In a recent paper published in ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, the team of chemists describe a compound that, when used in conjunction with the antibiotic imipenem, increased the antibiotic’s effectiveness against the antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae 16-fold.
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Jimmy V Foundation and conducted by chemists Dr. Roberta Worthington, Dr. Christian Melander, Cynthia Bunders, and Catherine Reed.
“Superbugs” are actually bacterial strains that produce an enzyme known as New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1). Bacteria that produce this enzyme are practically impervious to antibiotics because NDM-1renders certain antibiotics unable to bind with their bacterial targets. Since NDM-1 is found in Gram-negative bacteria like K. pneumoniae, which causes pneumonia, urinary tract, and other common hospital-acquired infections, it is of particular concern.
“To begin with, there are fewer antibiotic options for treating infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria than for those caused by Gram-positive bacteria,” says Worthington. “Gram-negative bacteria with the NDM-1 enzyme effectively neutralize the few weapons we have in our arsenal, making them especially difficult, if not impossible, to treat with existing antibiotic therapy.”
“We’ve demonstrated that we have the ability to take out the scariest superbug out there,” Melander says. “Hopefully further research will allow us to make the compound even more effective, and make these infections little more than a nuisance.”


During the last couple of years we view electric vehicles using the headlines over the automotive industry even though there’s been a sizable improvement within the connected technology, so many people are also thinking about hybrid vehicles. While hybrids are frequently viewed as something of the stop gap between traditional fueled vehicles and electric vehicles, what is a hybrid vehicle?
Source of energy
The finish source of energy for any hybrid vehicle may be the motor unit which forces the wheels as well as on-board services. This can be a fact that is frequently misinterpreted by a lot of and even it’s worth confirming wherever the hybrid tag originates from.
As electric technology is constantly on the evolve the comparison between journey convenience of traditional fueled vehicles and electric vehicles is moving favorably towards electric vehicles but there’s still some approach to take. The award-winning Nissan Leaf is capable of doing more than 100 miles per full battery charge however this continues to be nowhere close to the capacity offered by a conventional fueled vehicle having a full tank of gasoline/gas.
Backup source of energy
As a result, many vehicle manufacturers all over the world have introduced hybrid systems that are effectively backup power supplies fuelled by gasoline/gas that are then accustomed to recharge the batteries which in turn power the electrical vehicles. Because of the recharging capacity from the gasoline/gas motors on the majority of hybrid vehicles this could boost the journey capacity enormously and effectively result in the hybrid vehicle as efficient otherwise better when it comes to journey capacity.
There’s a disagreement whether hybrid vehicles are somewhat more eco-friendly although the truth that they are doing use traditional fuels to recharge the lithium ion batteries accustomed to power the electrical motors is responsible for some confusion.
Developments in hybrid vehicles
As battery capacity in relation to planet is constantly on the improve there’s the chance to exchange current hybrid batteries with individuals supplying a longer charge and much more capacity. This could then be sure that the traditional fuel backup product is not needed as frequently because it is right now and for that reason enhance the efficiency from the vehicle as well as reduce ongoing harm to the atmosphere.

DPAT: Digital portfolios assessment tasks
Gembrook Primary School is implementing student digital learning portfolios across the whole school. This is a wonderful opportunity to increase family engagement, and increase the level of communication with families around individual student learning.
For 2022, we are commencing with numeracy, and in particular, the applied topics covered within the strands of ‘Measurement & Geometry’ and ‘Statistics & Probability’ throughout the year.
Students will contribute to their digital portfolio via a ‘DPAT’ – Digital Portfolio Assessment Task.
There will be one DPAT for each numeracy applied topic, and each will contain a text and graphic representation of the assessment task, as well as a teacher assessment comment and grade allocation against the Victorian Curriculum.
The first DPAT on the applied maths topic of ‘Shape and Angle’ has now been completed and will be available on Compass, under your child’s Learning Task tab on Friday 18th March, 2022
Please find below, a link to an instruction video ‘How to access and interpret DPAT’ via Compass:
We hope you benefit from engaging in conversation with your child about their DPATs. We are a dynamic school and always striving for improvement, so any feedback in relation to student digital learning portfolios would be acknowledged and very much appreciated.


What is Bio-Puncture?
Bio-Puncture is a relatively new therapy in Australia designed to alleviate many types of pain. Bio-regulatory medicine or Homotoxicology is the specific, scientific concept behind Bio-Puncture.
Bio-Puncture uses small amounts of sterile saline solution injected subcutaneously (just below the skin), in conjuncture with oral homeopathic medicines. Depending on tissue type or organ requiring treatment, eg nerve, joint, muscle or liver, the injections and medicines stimulate a drainage and repair type program which is simple and very effective. Naturally symptoms are treated but Bio-Puncture goes further as deeper and more long lasting healing is facilitated.
What conditions are treated with Bio-Puncture?
Commonly, conditions that can be assisted involve: pain, inflammation, spasms, scarring and immobility. It can be soft tissue or joints, nerve impingement (including sciatica), vertebral discs, or mucosal lining of the digestive system. What is important is the tissue type and reasons behind the inflammation and pain.
Muscoloskeletal problems that can be assisted with Bio-Puncture:
- Sprains, strains, bruising
- Joint pain ie tendonitis, bursitis, frozen shoulder
- Spasms ie neck, leg etc
- Back pain, disc problems
- Mild to moderate arthritis
- Scarring ie surgery
- Acute and chronic conditions
- Trauma induced problems ie previous accidents/injuries
Who can use Bio-Puncture
The beauty about Bio-Puncture is that there is a wide variety of treatment options available. It can used in conjunction with conventional medicine, or as an alternative to it. It can be used to prevent surgical procedures and as a follow up after surgery, or when conventional medicine has not be effective. It can be used to facilitate healing so the injury does not become chronic. Also there are no side effects so it is a very safe option for pain and inflammation.
Oral medicines can be used for infants, children and teenages or people who dont wish to have the injections.


Medi-Cal covers over half—or 5.4 million—of California’s children, and covers more of California’s Latinx, Black, and Native American children than any other provider. Three-fourths of children enrolled in Medi-Cal are children of color. Making sure all children—regardless of their race or county where they live—have access to quality preventative health care and supports helps build a stronger, healthier future for California.
To advance child health equity in California, The Children’s Partnership, the California Children’s Trust, and the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality launched The Equity Through Engagement (ETE) project. This project examines opportunities to integrate community partnerships and interventions into California’s Medi-Cal financing and delivery systems to advance child health equity, including through addressing social drivers of health (SDOHs).
This project produced a series of resources to inform and influence new approaches to child health equity:
- Family Engagement Report presents the results of qualitative research with parents and families to better understand their experiences with Medi-Cal and what they need to productively engage with Medi-Cal and managed care plans.
- Child Opportunity Workbook assesses social drivers of health by race and county across California using Child Opportunity Index (COI) scores developed by Brandeis University and the Ohio State University. The workbook provides policymakers and advocates interested in improving child health care equity with a snapshot of disparities in opportunity across California.
- Care Coordination Issue Briefs, published by The Children’s Partnership and the California Children’s Trust, discuss why care coordination services are a pivotal component in whole-child health care and their relevance to the EPSDT entitlement, and share ways to better deliver culturally concordant services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

In other times, our culture, our way of being with each other, the way we spend our days, were constructed by Emperors, Popes, Generals and Public Servants.
Our cultural way of being is now constructed by the Private Sector, organizations of the free market consumer economy. The narrative of this economy is that productivity, convenience, scale, speed and cost are the dominant values and constitute success. These values, born out of the modern economy, have now spread into our souls and blanket any endeavor, including efforts in service of humanity and the common good. Best described as the tools of empire, this is a modern re-performance of Pharaoh’s Egypt.
We cannot end poverty, end the diaspora, terminate slavery, produce health, care for the planet, create well-being or end violence using the narrative and tools of empire. Our task it to create ways of being together based on an alternative economy which confront and re-frames this dominant economic narrative. Thus the word Economics in the title.
If we depart from the dominant narrative of consumption, we need a place to go. The Exodus into the wilderness away from Pharaoh is a metaphor for our journey. When viewed from within the context of empire economics, the wilderness appears to be a place of no visible means of life support. Inconvenient. What was discovered in the wilderness was the means of life support which we can call neighborliness. From God. From other immigrants. It was a gift minded community. It was based on associational life. Out of this came commandments of neighborliness. Paralleled in Islam were Sharia laws banning usury and devoting one third of the land to the common good. Thus the word Neighborly in the title.
All of this calls for something radical. The word, radical, asks that we reimagine the root of the matter. The habit of our immersion in the consumer economy often drives us to think in terms of the methodologies of the dominant culture. To become practical, goal oriented, measurement minded, desirous of scale, time pressured, asking how long will this take and where is it working. This is the wish to return to Egypt.
Neighborly economy means we operate as if we have enough time, begin with a possibility, accept an uncertain future, see the value of small, make relatedness and cooperation central, and are willing to invent the way.

The definition of courage is “the ability to do something that frightens someone.” We often associate the word with big, grand gestures of bravery, like a soldier running headfirst into the enemy’s battle lines, fearlessly ready for whatever comes next. This is right (and inspirational), but it doesn’t help us much for the daily emotional, cultural, and social battles students face today. Before we run headfirst into the comment section battle on that opinionated Facebook status, let’s take a look at what courage really looks like for us as youth leaders, and how it can make a difference in students’ lives.
To be courageous, we need to first stay grounded. As Christ-followers, there’s nothing more important than regularly reading God’s Word and being in prayer. In Ephesians 6, Paul describes the Word as our armor to go into spiritual battles. Without it, we are susceptible to the enemy. If you haven’t already, make it a habit to be in the Word and in prayer every day. It takes courage and intentionality to put the truth of Scripture over the “truth” of the world. Challenge your students to do the same.
Keep showing up for your students even if they don’t always show up for you. It takes courage (and a little bit of humility) to continue reaching out, checking in, and supporting students when it’s not always reciprocated, but trust that God is using your efforts. Students go through so much change and transition, and you may be the only person they can count on. Be there and point them to Jesus always.
The key to winning any battle is to be aware of where and how the enemy is trying to attack. When we fail to remain aware of what’s happening in culture and in society, we lose the ability to help students where they truly need it. This does not mean we need to go into the dark corners of Tik Tok (we have to protect our own hearts, too), but it does mean we should make an effort to understand what students are fighting so we can help them fight it.
We are praying for you as you navigate the daily battles of students’ lives. Fight courageously!

One of the most fascinating shifts happening right now in conservation biology is factoring in different cultures within certain species and the need to protect and preserve each one as we do the species overall.
You might think, well how do we know animals have culture? How do we know their behaviors are not all genetically programmed? And if they do have succinct subcultures, why is it important to preserve each one? Well, in today’s podcast episode we are going to answer these questions and more.
The species we are going to draw from are Sperm Whales. Known as an “animal of extremes” for their unique characteristics and lifestyle, sperm whales are the whales made famous by the book Moby Dick, and are one of the most social and communicative whale species on the planet.
Joining us is Hal Whitehead, a biologist and professor who has been studying Sperm Whales and other cetaceans for decades. You’d really enjoy his Ted Talk as well linked here.

Project details: ECOWS
|Title:||Exploring the role of estuarine circulation for transport of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Wadden Sea by means of field observations and numerical modelling|
|Duration:||16.10.2010 - 15.10.2013|
|Project manager:||Prof. Dr. Hans Burchard|
|Foci:||Transport and transformation processes, Basin-scale Ecosystem Dynamics|
|Department:||Physical Oceanography and Instrumentation|
Dr. Elisabeth Schulz
It is the aim of this project to investigate the role of estuarine circulation for suspended particulate matter (SPM) transport in the Wadden Sea. Major hypotheses are that (i) estuarine circulation is relevant to SPM transports in the Wadden Sea, that (ii) tidal straining (i.e. the correlation between vertical shear and eddy viscosity due to tidal asymmetry caused by horizontal density gradients) is the major process contributing to estuarine circulation, and (iii) that wind straining (i.e. the subtidal vertical shear generated by surface wind stress) is an important episodic contribution to estuarine circulation. These hypotheses will be tested by means of targeted field observations in three tidal channels (Hörnum Deep, Jade Bay and Otzumer Balje), idealised process-oriented numerical model simulations and realistic hindcast simulations for the focal areas and for the entire Wadden Sea. Confirmation of these hypotheses will lead to a paradigm shift in understanding Wadden Sea dynamics which so far has been widely assumed to be unaffected by density gradients.


Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic micro-vascular complications of diabetes (diabetes). It can occur in all types of diabetes, but it should be noted that the proliferative form of diabetic retinopathy occurs more frequently in type 1 diabetes, whereas diabetic maculopathy (disease of macula lutea) more common in type 2 diabetes. Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy include: genetic predisposition, duration of diabetes, poor metabolic control, hypertension, nephropathy and smoking.
Diabetic retinopathy can be classified into 3 stages:
First non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy
2nd pre-proliferative diabetic retinopathy
3rd proliferative diabetic retinopathy
In order to prevent the occurrence and progression of diabetic retinopathy ,the most important isgood metabolic control of diabetes, which is reflected in a satisfactory glycemic control ( HbA1c <7%) and good values of cholesterol and triglycerides, and then the treatment of hypertension and smoking cessation.
It is very important that patients with diabetes regularly occur in ophthalmic examinations for the purpose of early detection of diabetic retinopathy and timely application of laserphotocoagulation treatment. This treatment can slow or stop the progression of the disease, but it can not achieve restoring of lost visual acuity.
If you do not respect these rules diabetic retinopathy leads to irreversible loss of vision due to severe complications, traction of retina and retinal neo-vascular glaucoma. If the disease goes into proliferative form it is necessary to perform surgical intervention MIVS-23G.

Wisconsin officials draft water quality standards for PFAS
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin health officials said Friday they've finished drafting new groundwater standards for more than 20 substances, including a dozen types of PFAS chemicals.
The Department of Natural Resources asked the Department of Health Services in April 2019 to begin researching the health impacts of 40 unregulated substances and provide recommendations on how much of each substance should be allowed in groundwater.
The DNR plans to use the recommendations as the basis for writing an administrative rule establishing standards that will apply to bottled water, agricultural chemicals, clean-up at contaminated sites and landfills.
DHS officials said they reviewed scientific literature about each substance and came up with recommendations for 22 of the 40 substances, including 16 types of PFAS and six pesticides. The department said it couldn't come up with recommendations for the remaining 18 due to limited information on their effect on human health.
PFAS are human-made chemicals that research suggests can cause health problems in humans. The chemicals have been used for decades in a range of products, including firefighting foam and stain-resistant sprays. Several areas of the state, most notably Marinette and Dane counties, have been grappling with PFAS contamination in their groundwater over the last few years.
The DNR's policy board enacted an emergency rule last month restricting the use of fire-fighting foam to emergencies and training at facilities with DNR-approved disposal systems.

The religious awakening of the early-nineteenth-century United States opened deep rifts in the generation that overlapped and followed it. The rifts emerged from questions of religious doctrine and evangelical method, then widened to encompass worldly politics and ideologies, including the tariff. Two authors and advocates who represent well the religious influence on the U.S. tariff controversy are the Reverend Joshua Leavitt (1794–1873) and the Reverend Calvin Colton (1789–1857). Both were swept up in the religious revivals of the 1820s, and both became, over the following two decades, leading contributors to the second party system's debates over slavery and the tariff. Their contributions to the tariff debate were to conjoin the arguments for free trade and protection, within and on the periphery of the Whig Party, to their religiously inspired views about the abolition of slavery.

A world devoid of disputes is unimaginable. In every sector of the economy and every aspect of society, one will find disputes galore. The industrial sector is no different. With the growth of industrialization and modernization, emerged labour disputes. In today’s time, the settlement of disputes through the traditional judicial system is an arduous, expensive, and drawn-out process. Thus, the present scenario calls for an alternative method of resolving labour disputes that is advantageous to both the parties involved and is bereft of the drawbacks of the court system. This is where Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) comes to the rescue. At the outset, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has been portrayed as an efficient, speedy, and accessible means of attaining justice for all and the constitutional background of ADR and labour laws in India has been explicated. The reader will learn about the historical progression of labour legislation and ADR techniques in this research paper. The nature, causes, and types of labour disputes have been explained with illustrations. How the different forms of ADR, with a particular focus on Industrial Arbitration and Conciliation, are employed to settle industrial disputes has been elucidated. The salient features of these ADR methods have been enumerated with a view to enlighten the reader with the legal framework of available dispute resolution procedures in labour law. The process of Voluntary Arbitration and Conciliation in light of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, has been expounded. The researcher attempts to discern whether ADR is a viable option and a preferable choice to settle industrial disputes in India and abroad.

Skin Conditions | Poikiloderma
Poikiloderma is the term used to describe a skin condition which is characterised by brown patches of pigmentation (hyper pigmentation) combined with skin redness (erythema), caused by broken blood vessels, known as Telangiectasia. It is best characterised by it’s mottled appearance, sometimes more red, sometimes more brown. The texture of the skin can also be affected, often feeling more ‘papery’ and is in fact much weaker than normal skin. It is also known as Poikiloderma of Civatte, after the physician who first reported the symptoms.
What causes Poikiloderma?
It is thought that the most common cause of the condition is sun damage, or prolonged exposure to UV rays, because of the fact that each individual symptom is also a side effect of too much sun. Another cause can be chemical peeling of the skin. We tend to see a rise in people showing symptoms of the condition, due to a increase in popularity of chemical skin treatments.
Where can you get Poikiloderma?
Poikiloderma is mainly found on the sides of the face and neck, but can also appear on the chest, décolletage and forehead (especially in males with receding hair lines).
Who can get Poikiloderma?
Anyone can get Poikiloderma, but it is most commonly found in women with fairer skins who have had prolonged exposure to the sun. This may be because the condition can be exacerbated by hormones and by the use of certain cosmetics, such as perfume, which are applied to areas of the skin where the condition most frequently appears.

The situation regarding natural gas in Europe is going through hard times. On the one hand, there are still prospects for low prices thanks to the competition among suppliers from Russia, Norway and the United States, but, on the other hand, it is important to constantly think about improving and securing infrastructure so that Europe can benefit from this competition as much as possible. The EU should focus on linking the North and the South between the Polish terminal in Swinoujscie and the Croatian terminal in Omišalji in the Adriatic Sea.
Linking the South and the North would help foster competition in Europe and protect Member States against the shortage of gas in case that either Russia or Norway stopped delivering supplies. This would prevent further problems that could be similar to the situation when Russia stopped sending gas to Ukraine. Another planned project, BRUA, which will connect Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Austria, could help achieve this as well. Unfortunately, this plan only remains a plan. Both projects would together help secure the countries of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
Although the European Commission understands the importance of these projects, the economic integration and liberalization of markets remain its main concerns. It wants to create as much space for the creation of a better gas infrastructure as possible, whereby effort would be facilitated particularly by a greater integration of different markets. The problem is that the interest to build a secure energy infrastructure varies from state to state. The ability and readiness of these countries to deal with a possible energy crisis varies as well.
The Czech Republic and Poland have gradually improved and secured gas supplies from other sources and both countries also benefit from regional cooperation and deeper integration with other states. In the Baltic region, there has been an improvement as well – the three Baltic republics have managed to end their isolation and energy dependence on the countries of the former USSR. The proposed projects therefore concern mainly the most vulnerable states in the South and East of the EU. Many states will not be able to influence the situation in the East very much and it is therefore questionable whether the current project has ever made sense and whether it would not be better to look for alternatives. A case in point is Hungary that, rather than being involved in this project, could use its link to neighboring Slovakia.

Upland cress or land cress (Barbarea verna) is a great substitute for watercress and can be a delicious addition to salads and since it is hardy, it can make it right through the winter with some protection and will provide healthy and tasty green leaves over a long period.
Land cress is a blessing to the forest gardener as it provides an excellent ground cover in areas of cool, damp, partial or dappled shade. It is in fact in these conditions that it will perform at its best. It will do well when planted in the shade of trees or taller plants in a mixed cottage-style garden.
The plants should be cut on a regular basis while they are young and tender, so as to get the best from your crop. You should make sure that you keep taking because the more you take, the more the plants will be encouraged to continue to grow and this will prolong your harvest and ensure that you have a steady supply of the leaves for a longer period of time.
Land cress is not only a tasty green for use in salads and other dishes it is also extremely healthy with a great mix of vitamins and other nutrients that are needed for a balanced diet, including iron and calcium.
Land cress is also useful as a ground cover which will protect the soil and help retain moisture under other garden plants or trees. In a layered permaculture approach to gardening, cress is a useful ground layer that can be used to great effect to make the most of the space in your garden.

Semiconductors are key enablers of the Information Age we live in. Firstly, they are essential constituents of the numerous electronic and optoelectronic devices (e.g., computers, displays, imagers, sensors) that continue to improve our quality of life whilst sustaining global economic and societal development. Additionally, semiconductors are essential in energy harvesting technologies such as photovoltaics, which are key to tackling the rising energy demand and climate change.
The Pecunia Research Group – Sustainable Optoelectronics investigates emerging, environmentally friendly, printable semiconductors (e.g., organic semiconductors, lead-free perovskite derivatives, carbon nanotube networks, metal-oxide semiconductors), and their applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and photovoltaics. Not only are these semiconductors environmentally benign, but they can also be processed in the form of inks, at low temperatures, and on flexible, low-cost plastic substrates. This allows their use in the fabrication of electronic, optoelectronic, and photovoltaic devices with inexpensive, facile processes—for instance, inkjet printing, which is the same basic technology used to print documents in our homes.
Moreover, the unique properties of these printable semiconductors open up new application space that is currently inaccessible by chip-size electronics/optoelectronics—e.g., point-of-use, flexible devices in unique form factors for energy harvesting, smart homes, smart packaging, smart cities, and healthcare.

Pediatric restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry that specializes in restoring damaged, decayed or missing teeth in children. Here are some common treatments and procedures involved in pediatric restorative dentistry:
Dental Fillings: Composite fillings are often used to restore decayed or damaged teeth in children. They are safe and durable and are designed to blend in with the natural teeth.
Dental Crowns: Crowns may be necessary to restore severely damaged or decayed teeth. Pediatric dental crowns are typically made from stainless steel or composite materials and are designed to be durable and long-lasting.
Pulpotomy: A pulpotomy is a procedure that removes the infected pulp tissue in a child’s tooth and replaces it with a filling material. This treatment can help save a damaged or decayed tooth from extraction.
At Wasatch Kids Pediatric Dentistry, our pediatric dentists and team specialize in pediatric restorative dentistry in Taylorsville, Utah, offering a wide range of treatments and procedures to help children maintain healthy, beautiful smiles. If your child is experiencing dental problems, schedule an appointment with Dr. David Gustafson, Dr. Jeffery K. Rupp or our associates by calling us at 801-919-8535 today to explore treatment options.


When it comes to preparing children for the future, teaching them how to code has become more and more important. And that is understandable because technology is now part of our lives to the extent where in the future it will be virtually impossible to avoid it. Besides the permanent presence of technology in our lives, coding helps develop children’s academic skills.
By learning how to code, children improve their logical and critical thinking, they develop their organizational skills and learn how to persevere. They understand how maths can be applied to real life, and, ultimately, can contribute to preparing them for the jobs of the future.
But let’s face it, not every parent is able to help their children learn how to code! So what do parents do in this case? Luckily there are many initiatives they can turn to in order to help their children get support in their journey to learn how to code.
In Sweden, one of these initiatives is called Kodcentrum (or the Code center), an association that introduces children to programming and digital creation at no cost. Their activities, such as Kodstugor (Code cottages), Barnhack (Children hack) or Koda i skolan (Coding in school), aim to strengthen digital democracy and broaden the understanding of what programming is.
A Kodstuga is organized regularly in Skellefteå (Sweden), NUITEQ’s hometown.
Programming is at the core of our company and we realize that in the near future it will be a big part of the curriculum of schools in Sweden - and everywhere else in the world. This is why we’ve decided to help our community’s Kodstuga and we volunteer each week to support the initiative. One of our team members is always present to support the children attending the Kodstuga.
In the future, we will support even more similar initiatives. Keep an eye out on our social media channels or blog to find out about it.

Imagine you are out for a walk and you see a strange object in the sky. It lands near you and a door opens. Out comes a creature that looks nothing like you. It has tentacles, scales, and eyes on stalks. It makes a weird noise and points a device at you. What do you do?
If you ever find yourself in this situation, don’t panic. You may have just made first contact with an extraterrestrial being. This could be the most important moment in human history, or the last one. It all depends on how you communicate with the alien.
Here are some tips on how to talk to an alien and not get killed:
- Don’t assume the alien is hostile or friendly. It may have different motives and emotions than you. It may not even have emotions at all. It may be curious, scared, bored, or hungry. Try to be calm and respectful, but also cautious and alert.
- Don’t assume the alien can understand you or vice versa. It may have a different language, logic, or perception than you. It may not even use sound or sight to communicate. It may use smells, colors, shapes, or telepathy. Try to find a common way to communicate, such as using mathematics, gestures, or symbols.
- Don’t assume the alien shares your values or morals. It may have a different culture, religion, or ethics than you. It may not even have any of these things at all. It may value life differently than you do. It may not care about your rights, feelings, or beliefs. Try to be tolerant and open-minded, but also firm and clear about your boundaries.
- Don’t assume the alien is alone or represents its entire species. It may have companions, allies, or enemies nearby. It may not even belong to a species at all. It may be an artificial intelligence, a rogue agent, or a hybrid. Try to be friendly and diplomatic, but also wary and prepared for any surprises.
Remember, first impressions matter. If you follow these tips, you may have a chance to establish a peaceful and meaningful relationship with the alien. If not, you may end up as its dinner or experiment.


Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness throughout the world affecting millions of people. Glaucoma is a disease of the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve.
Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, which is the cable that connects the eye to the brain. It is a serious and potentially blinding condition that can affect your vision so slowly that you don’t even realize that damage is occurring. By the time visual loss from glaucoma is noticed, the effects are irreversible.
The key is to detect glaucoma early when a number of effective glaucoma treatments exist to preserve vision and prevent blindness.
Who is at Risk from Glaucoma? Glaucoma may affect anyone. However, factors that increase a person’s risk include:
- Increasing age
- African-American Heritage
- High Blood Pressure
- Family History
- Long-term steroid treatment
- Injury or trauma to the eye
What Causes Glaucoma?
If the drainage passage inside the eye is mechanically blocked or isn’t functioning correctly, the clear fluid inside the eye, the aqueous humor, builds up. This causes increased pressure inside the eye that can damage the optic nerve.
What are the Different Types of Glaucoma?
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma. In this condition the drainage passage inside the eye is open but is not functioning correctly. Fluid builds up inside the eye causing the pressure to rise.
Closed-angle glaucoma occurs when the drainage passage of the eye becomes completely blocked. Occasionally this can occur very rapidly resulting in symptoms of blurred vision, severe eye pain, headache and nausea.

By He Reads Truth
The book of Proverbs is a guide for pursuing godly wisdom in our daily lives. In this four-week study, we will read a selection of topical proverbs covering different aspects of wisdom, from how to interact with our friends, families, and neighbors, to fearing God and keeping His commands. No matter the subject, these proverbs urge us to wrestle with and reflect on our own response to them. To help you better engage with the proverbs in this reading plan, we have provided you with a short introduction and reflection questions for each day.
On a purely intellectual level, the concepts of seeking counsel, remaining teachable, and exploring what we do not understand make perfect sense. But because we are proud, our hearts often tense up at the suggestion that we have much to learn. The way of wisdom is about more than simply obtaining new information. It’s about living as part of a community where we gladly regard one another as valuable.
What does it look like to walk with wise people (Proverbs 13:20)? How is this something you are doing, or could do, in your life?
How do you react when people try to tell you what you should do? How do you react to a command from God that you’re not particularly fond of?
Think about the people who have counseled and instructed you. Are you becoming someone who has counsel and instruction to give? Is there anyone in your life right now who needs your wisdom, experience, or counsel?

Marisol, The Party
- The booming economy and mass media of the 1950s popularized an American ideal of the middle-class lifestyle, where conspicuous consumption promised happiness and status. Yet, many women were increasingly frustrated by expectations to conform to socially constructed gender roles.
- Marisol’s The Party suggests a social gathering, but emphasizes a sense of disconnect and isolation. The blocks of wood confine her figures and suggest an overpowering loneliness, even as they are gathered together and surrounded with convivial details. Marisol used her own face for each figure, wanting to create a larger social commentary without criticizing specific people.
- Marisol has been overlooked by art history, in part because her work is difficult to place within any specific style or movement. Working at the height of Abstract Expressionism, she opted to focus on the human figure. Her bright colors and recognizable subjects are similar to Pop Art, but her social critique and emphasis on the personal and handmade stand apart.

Virtual reality represents the massive potential of innovative technology; so significant, in fact, that we have come to rely on virtual reality more than we may even imagine. In recent years, the medical field has been inundated with the positive aspects of virtual reality in our work and our patients’ lives. It may be assumed that, as a medical training organization dedicated to the continued use of human specimens, we have our misgivings about the integration of virtual reality into medicine. Not so. Here, we discuss a few of the areas in which VR is changing lives for the better.
Virtual Reality in the Healthcare Industry
There seems to be a prevalence of chronic pain and other instances in which pain management is paramount these days. In particular, virtual reality has proven beneficial for burn victims. In this instance, VR is used as a form of distraction therapy during wound care and physical therapy sessions. According to reports, patients playing entertaining VR games during these sessions are able to tolerate their treatment exceptionally well thanks to the blocking of pain pathways in the brain.
It is well-understood that stroke and traumatic brain injury patients are under a time-crunch in terms of rehabilitation. The sooner that this begins, the more likely the patient is to regain the functions that were impaired by their injury or event. Innovative use of virtual reality is helping patients discover new ways to move fingers and limbs. Ultimately, the experience with VR leads patients to greater optimism and resiliency, through which the nervous system is better able to recover.
For individuals being treated for anxiety, PTSD, and phobias, virtual reality holds particular value. Using VR, therapists can create triggering scenarios in a controlled environment in which the patient feels comfortable and safe enough to explore coping strategies discussed before the VR experience.
Understandably, the use of virtual reality technology is growing exponentially across all specters of business, including healthcare. While we respect the value of VR in specific clinical situations, the area of surgical training is not one of them. There is no alternative to human specimen when it comes to familiarizing oneself with the physiological response to injury and disease.

Lion or Leopard? If “agụ” is leopard, and “ọdụm” is lion, then why is it not Isi ọdụm?
In Igbo culture, the phrase isi agụ is translates to “head of a leopard”, an animal revered in Igbo folklore. However, the isi agụ fabric itself features the motif of a lion’s head (ọdụm), which may seem contradictory.
This apparent mismatch can be attributed to the influence of both Western and indigenous civilisations on modern Igbo culture. Particularly the introduction of English culture, which may have caused confusion between the prestigious animal for Igbos (the leopard) and the English one (the lion).
Left: Leopard Head Pendant, Bronze, E. Nigeria, Igbo-Ukwu 9th Century AD, H: 7.4 cm, Right: English Royal Coat of Arms, 1200s
How Did Isi Agụ Become Part of Igbo Attire?
Isi agụ is a widely recognised fabric in Igbo culture, yet its origins remain a topic of debate. Here are some potential claims for its origin:
- It may be a regional adaptation of European-style shirts that emerged during the Victorian era (1837 – 1901) during the palm trade between Nigeria and Britain.
- Alternatively, it could have been a European import into the area from India, similar to materials like madras.
Regardless of its origin, it’s clear that it was a result of trade interactions between indigenous people and Westerners.
Despite this, the enduring popularity of isi agụ fabric in Igbo culture is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Igbo people and it serves as a reminder of the community’s rich cultural heritage.

Scientists in Australia have discovered a simple way to stop deadly invasive cane toads from spreading any further into Australia’s arid regions. The research, published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, reveals that by fencing off man-made water points (used in agriculture and livestock rearing), toads can be effectively controlled and their relentless spread curtailed.
The introduction in 1935 of the cane toad B. marinus to Australia was an ecological disaster, with the poisonous toad today spreading over almost one million kilometres of Australian land and poisoning the majority of native predators unfortunate enough to eat it. Surprisingly, the invasive creature is not well adapted to hot and dry conditions, but nonetheless in recent years it has started to take over seasonally arid areas of Australia in the Northern Territory. The scientists tested whether man-made water boreholes in this area might be acting as ‘invasion hubs’ for the toad, providing a haven for them in the driest weather and allowing them to colonise even more land in these areas.
By fencing off boreholes so that toads couldn’t access them and then removing by hand any toads that found themselves inside the fencing, the researchers achieved a drastic reduction in the local cane toad population. They monitored toads that were removed from the boreholes and discovered that the majority of them went on to die of dehydration, suggesting that the water points are vital for the toads’ survival in these regions, so removing toads’ access to them could be a simple and inexpensive way to control their further spread into these areas. Furthermore, the scientists found that the fences appeared to have no detrimental effect on native animals, being easily surmountable by birds, pythons, kangaroos and other local wildlife.
The authors point out that this method is not a “silver bullet” for cane toad control, but remind readers that “most research on cane toads has focused on identifying and developing biological control agents; all have been unsuccessful to date.” While this new method may not represent the ultimate solution for Australia’s toad problem, controlling the further spread of these devastating agents of biological destruction should be a positive first step in limiting any further damage caused by them.

The Acorn Shovel is a tool in Grounded used to dig up grubs that travel underground and to gather clay. The crafting recipe for the shovel is unlocked by analyzing the resource that is needed to make it. This tool is easy to make for new players.
You will either be using this tool sparingly or for hours depending on what your objective is. This is the only tool that can gather clay. Clay is used for many things like Base Building. Veteran players know how time-consuming that is.
The tip of this shovel is made from an Acorn Shell. While the base is the stem of a Sprig plant. Then they are both tied together with woven fiber. Gotta give it to these people. Crafting in this game is amazing.
The grubs that you see swimming under the dirt can be pulled up. Then they lay there for a bit so you can attack them and gather their resources.
This tool can also gather any Clay you find. Takes about 5 swipes and it breaks into smaller chunks. These chunks can then be gathered and stored in your inventory.
How to unlock the Shovel
To unlock the Shovel analyze some Acorn Shells or Woven Fiber at a Field Station. Use the small computer there and it will give us the blueprint for creating a shovel.
Now gather the rest of the resources to actually craft it. The blueprint can be found in your crafting menu in the tools section.
Listed below are the materials you need:
- x2 Sprig Plant is found everywhere. You probably have a bunch by now right?
- x1 Acorn Shells are mainly found north by the Oak Tree. Look up and you will see a big red tree. Head in that direction.
Woven Fiber is a material you craft with 3 plant fiber. Plant fiber is those small green plants with three leaves.


steel plate bending machine,
metal press brake
1 The frame of machine is composed of tank, worktable, left and right housings and ram. So it has high strength and good rigidity. Also it takes vibration to eliminate stress.
2 Synchronization working principal of both machines:Adopting electric-hydraulic proportional valve to ensure the synchronization of both machines. The proportional valve is made by BOSCH company with very good performance such as small friction between mechanic action pairs, fine electronic amplifier and electric magnet with high controlling force and continuous action. There are two raster displayers on both sides of machine to inspect the position of ram continuously and feed back the signal to control system, then the control system will control electric-hydraulic valve to make two cylinders synchronization on one machine. Because the raster displayers are installed to “C” plates, not on housing plates directly, the deflection of ram and frame when working will not effect its measuring and controlling precision. When two machines working together, the differential potentiometer installed between two machines will transfer the mechanic synchronizing signal into electronic one and feed back to synchronization plate and control system. The signal will be enlarged by BOSCH amplifier to control the synchronization of both machines by controlling electric-hydraulic proportional valve. So the synchronization of two machines is achieved with high precision.
3 Through computer,the operator could communicate with machine. The computer has several service language, calculate and adjust the bending force automatically. Also it could calculate and control the dead point, speed changing point.The strokes (Y1, Y2) of ram could make a small tilt to meet the special requirement of user.
4 Equipped with good guiding system, position measuring system and hydraulic balance system to meet the requirements of full length job and eccentric job.
5 Worktable compensation unit is adopted to make up for deflection of machine when working to make sure the precision of work piece.
6 The surface of cylinder has good wearing and heat treatment, so it has good lubrication and long service life.

A group of astronomers has discovered a slowly revolving galaxy in the early Universe using the ALMA telescope. That galaxy is far slower than galaxies today and is the youngest galaxy ever discovered with a measured rotation.
All galaxies revolve, and they typically do so very quickly. For instance, the Milky Way galaxy rotates at a rate of more than 200 km/s.
Why Do Galaxies Revolve?
However, scientists still don’t fully comprehend how galaxies accelerate to these rates. The only way to know is to measure galaxies over cosmic time and compile an evolution map of galaxies.
A group of astronomers from Waseda University in Tokyo recently observed a very far-off galaxy using ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) in Chile. MACS1149-JD1 is a very far-off galaxy.
But because of gravitational lensing caused by the massive galaxy cluster through which the light from that galaxy passes, MACS1149-JD1 is magnified. This magnification allows astronomers to see the galaxy.
What Is This MACS1149-JD 1?
MACS1149-JD 1, one of the youngest known galaxies, was discovered when the universe was only 500 million years old. The group utilised ALMA to investigate O III, or doubly ionised oxygen, in the galaxy’s disc.
They next created a model of the galaxy’s disk’s size and rotational speed to compare with observations.
How Far Is MACS1149-JD1?
MACS1149-JD1 is only 3,000 light-years across, the scientists discovered. Compared to the Milky Way galaxy, which spans more than 100,000 light-years, this is much smaller. Additionally, they discovered that MACS1149-JD1 rotates at only 50 kilometres per second, which is only about 25% as fast as the Milky Way.
According to Akio K. Inoue, a co-author of the study and professor at Waseda University, “JD1 is likely in an initial stage of developing a rotational motion because the rotation speed of JD1 is significantly slower than those discovered in galaxies in subsequent epochs and our [Milky Way] Galaxy.”
The group intends to carry out additional research on galaxy rotation speeds over cosmic time using the James Webb Space Telescope.

Q) Write short notes on: Use of indicator card on board.
Ans:- Use of indicator card on board:
- Power Card is the measurement of the variation of pressures in a cycle.
- Irregularities in the shape of the diagram will show operational faults. Maximum or peak pressure may be measured to scale between the atmospheric line and the highest point on the diagram.
- Compression diagram is taken in a similar manner to the power card but with the fuel shut off from the cylinder.
- The height of this curve shows maximum compression pressure. If compression and expansion lines coincide, it shows that the indicator is correctly synchronized with the engine.
- Reduction in height of this diagram show slow compression, which may be due to worn cylinder liner, faulty piston rings, insufficient scavenge air or leaky exhaust valve, any of the which will cause poor combustion.
- Draw card or out of phase diagram is taken in a similar manner to the power card, with fuel pump engaged but with the indicator drum 90″C out of phase piston stroke. This illustrates more clearly the pressure changes during fuel combustion. Fuel timing or injector faults may be detected from its shape.
- Light or Weak spring diagram is again similar to the power card and in phase with the engine, but taken with a light compression spring fitted to the indicator showing pressure changes during exhaust and scavenge to an enlarged scale.
- It can be used to detect faults and scavenge to an enlarged scale. It can be used to detect operations.


Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob Grimm und Wilhelm Grimm

The most extensive dictionary of the German language
The German Dictionary by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm is the most extensive lexicographical depiction of the German language. It describes the vocabulary used in written New High German from the middle of the 15th century until today. Its name stems from the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, who had devised the dictionary and begun working on it in the late thirties of the 19th century. After the death of the Grimms, renowned Germanists such as Rudolf Hildebrand, Moriz Heyne and Matthias von Lexer continued their work. In 1908, the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin took over the project. Since 1946, the endeavor has been jointly overseen by the Goettingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities and by the Academy of Sciences of the German Democratic Republic, which was superseded by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. It was apparent even before the completion of the first edition in 1960, which encompassed 32 volumes, that the Grimm Dictionary did not meet modern standards. In order to bring it up to date, the Academies in Berlin and Goettingen have completely reworked the most outdated letter sections A-F (in nine volumes). The revision of the German Dictionary was completed in 2016. The dictionary is aimed at everyone who wants to learn about the usage and historical development of German words.

This is how kids get into hacking: Study
Is your kid obsessed with video games and hanging out with questionable friends? Researchers have identified characteristics and gender-specific behaviours in kids that could lead them to become juvenile hackers.
The study found that kids who had mobile phone access early on were more likely to hack -- especially if they lived in larger cities. The researchers also explained the stark differences between boys and girls when it came to hacking.
"We found that predictors of juvenile delinquency, like low self-control are big factors for computer hacking for both boys and girls," said study lead author Thomas Holt from Michigan State University in the US.
"But for girls, peer associations mattered more. If she has friends who shoplift or engage in petty forms of crime, she's more likely to be influenced to hack as well. For boys, we found that time spent watching TV or playing computer games were associated with hacking," Holt added.
For the study published in the journal Crime & Delinquency, the research team assessed responses from 50,000 teens from around the world to determine predictors of hacking.
The study found that spending time with peers was more likely to influence delinquent behaviour for those living in smaller cities.
Besides, having their own bedroom, their own computer or the freedom of doing what they want on the Internet without parental supervision.
The researchers also revealed a connection between pirating movies and music and hacking.
"The initial attempts might not be serious, but without supervision and low self-control, it's likely they got a taste for what they might be able to accomplish by taking their hacking abilities further," Holt said.

Where Do Camels Belong?: The story and science of invasive species
Where do camels belong? In the Arab world may seem the obvious answer, but they are relative newcomers there. They evolved in North America, retain their greatest diversity in South America, and the only remaining wild dromedaries are in Australia.
This is a classic example of the contradictions of 'native' and 'invasive' species, a hot issue right now, as the flip-side of biodiversity. We have all heard the horror stories of invasives, from Japanese knotweed that puts fear into the heart of gardeners to brown tree snakes that have taken over the island of Guam.
But do we need to fear invaders? And indeed, can we control them, and do we choose the right targets?Ken Thompson puts forward a fascinating array of narratives to explore what he sees as the crucial question - why only a minority of introduced species succeed, and why so few of them go on to cause trouble. He discusses, too, whether our fears could be getting in the way of conserving biodiversity, and responding to the threat of climate change.

"Space Matters" Exhibit Unveiled at University of Alabama
Last night, students, historians and others gathered at the oldest structure on the University of Alabama’s campus for the unveiling of a new kind of historical exhibit.
“Space Matters” is an interactive exhibit inside the Gorgas House Museum. It uses animated maps, videos and music to tell the nuanced stories of three historical figures from Tuscaloosa's history before and during the Civil War.
They are Sarah Gayle, the mother of Amelia Gorgas who upends the stereotype of a southern belle; Nathaniel Kenyon, a Union officer who was held captive in a Tuscaloosa prison during the Civil War; and Horace King; a slave architect and engineer who built dozens of bridges in the Southeast including the first from Tuscaloosa to Northport.
Dr. Sharony Green curated the exhibit. She says people can learn a lot when considering the history of the space they occupy.
“For one reason, we will learn how privileged we are, just to be so-called modern people. But I think, if you are aware of where you are, you will see how far we’ve come, but how far we still can go.”
Brandon Thompson is the director of the Gorgas House Museum. He wants to see the space utilized more as an active learning environment for University of Alabama students, and says this exhibit is a great start.
Thompson says he’s thrilled with the response so far.
“The amount of engagement we have from students and professors and community members, the reception to it, what they’ve been talking about, and the questions they’ve been asking have been fantastic. So it’s the first step, and I’m really proud of everybody who’s been involved in the process.”
The exhibit is on display at the Gorgas House Museum from now through June 30. Admission is free for University of Alabama students, faculty/staff, and members of the UA alumni association.

Central And Southern California Ranges
The Central and Southern California Ranges mountain range stretches from the southern end of the Sierra Nevada to the coast. This range is home to several notable peaks, including Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the contiguous United States at 14,505 feet, and Mount San Gorgonio, the highest peak in Southern California at 11,503 feet. The range is also home to significant hydrology, including the Kern River, which flows through the Sierra Nevada and the Tehachapi Mountains, and the Santa Ana River, which flows through the San Bernardino Mountains. The range has a rich history, with evidence of Native American settlements dating back over 11,000 years. The region was also explored by Spanish colonizers and played a significant role in the California Gold Rush. The Central and Southern California Ranges is an awe-inspiring area, with several unique features such as the Devil's Punchbowl, a geological formation located in the San Gabriel Mountains.

Gottlieb’s Color Bursts
Adolph Gottlieb had three major artistic periods during his long and successful career. Born in New York to Jewish immigrant parents in 1903, by the time he was a teenager it was clear that Gottlieb was destined to be an artist, there was no other choice.
After dropping out of high school, Gottlieb took classes at the Art Students League of New York. In 1921 he worked his passage to Europe on a merchant ship, and travelled through France, Germany and parts of Central Europe. During his six month stint in Paris he visited the Louvre every day, looking and learning.
Upon his return to New York in 1924 Gottlieb painted full time, and formed friendships with fellow artists Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, David Smith, Milton Avery, and John Graham. The work and philosophy of these friends greatly influenced Gottlieb, and with others they would form the group known as THE TEN. They often exhibited their works together.
Gottlieb’s first solo exhibition was at the Dudensing Galleries in New York City in 1930. His early work can best be described as Expressionst Realist. He also began to be influenced by the Surrealist painters of the time.
I frequently hear the question, “What do these images mean?” This is simply the wrong question. Visual images do not have to conform to either verbal thinking or optical facts. A better question would be “Do these images convey any emotional truth?”
A major break occurred when he moved to the desert in 1937. His work became decidedly more Surrealistic. It is during this period that he painted Sea Chest, a seemingly normal landscape rife with incongruity.
Ultimately Surrealism was not Gottlieb’s metier and he moved on. Influenced by tribal art, Gottlieb began to develop what he called “pictographs” shapes and symbols contained in compartmentalized spaces.
He wanted these icons and symbols to be basic and free of meaning, so that the viewer could respond on a purely visual level.
Gottlieb’s most recognizable style finally emerged in the 1950s. His Color Burst works reference what he calls “imaginary landscapes” often with a horizon line, pictographic slashes and symbols below, and a great sun (or moon?) hovering over the horizon.


There is overwhelming evidence that school closures have had a devastating impact on children’s mental and physical health and resulted in widespread learning loss while increasing their vulnerability and risk of abuse. Children First Canada’s latest Raising Canada report revealed that all the top 10 threats to children have been accelerated in the past year, resulting in widespread violations of children’s rights.
From the onset of the pandemic, Children First Canada has led a coordinated national response to mitigate the negative impacts and lift the burden on children. We are calling on governments to prioritize the safe reopening of schools in all their COVID-19 plans and invest the necessary resources to ensure that schools can safely remain open. Schools should be the last to close and the first to reopen.
Statistics Canada, in collaboration with Children First Canada, has released an interactive tool to help Canadians better understand the impacts of COVID-19 school closures on kids. Policy makers, teachers and parents can access relevant maps and data to make informed decisions within their regions here.
You can read the recommendations from our Council of Champions to the federal, provincial and municipal governments here. Children and youth have also been outspoken about their desire for schools to remain open, and have issued their own recommendations to government through the Young Canadians’ Parliament and our Youth Advisory Council.
Collectively, Canadians of all ages have the power to influence government decisions and improve the lives of children in Canada and hold them accountable.
Follow us on social media to find out ways you can support the return to safe in-school learning.
Every day matters. Kids can’t afford to wait.


Sorry for the delay in this series; a bit of life intervened.
The city of Bremen is actually a city-state. (There are three independent city-states in Germany: Bremen, Hamburg, and Berlin.) It also includes the town of Bremerhaven, which just means "Bremen's harbor," at the mouth of the Weser river at the North Sea, I've been told it's a very typical northwestern German city, with typical German architecture.
Bremen is in the northwestern section of Lower Saxony. In Lower Saxony, the dialect is Plattdeutsch, or flat-lands German. The dialect spoken in the westernmost region is very similar to Dutch, which is unsurprising, as modern Dutch is an outgrowth of the old Low Franconian languages. It's tantalizingly similar to English, but not understandably, unless you also know German. The wikipedia entry is also available in Platt.
Most people have probably heard of Hannover. It's the state capital, home to several universities, and full of culture.
Braunschweig was recommended by an acquaintance who lived there. It's over in eastern Lower Saxony, in the direction of Saxony-Anhalt. Many places called Brunswick are named for this city.
For the folk tale aficionados, Hamelin is a hop from Hannover, and the Pied Piper is enacted weekly in summer.
The third major German automotive company (after Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart and BMW near Munich) is Volkswagen, which is headquartered in Wolfsburg. The city itself was founded to be the home of the VW factory, and it's still the main employer. The main thing to see is the open-air automobile museum.
Next up: Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg.

Are You prepared?
Knowing a phenomenon is the first step in learning to deal with it properly and to prevent possible danger. The Department is engaged in awareness campaigns to spread few simple rules on how to prevent or lessen the damage of a phenomenon. This section includes guidelines on proper behaviour to adopt in case of an industrial accident.
In case of industrial accident
- If you live in an area with industrial plants:
- Ask the Mayor of your municipality if the plants are listed as high-risk facilities for which there is an emergency plan in case of an accident.
In case of industrial accident:
- Where the risk of contamination is high, the Authorities responsible for the emergency may order evacuation following the pre-established External Emergency Plan, which also provides indications on how to evacuate and where to gather.
- Follow the indications in the information leaflets provided by the Mayor to inform the population about the safety measures to adopt and about the rules of conduct
- Take shelter in an indoor area to reduce exposure to toxic substances released by the plant
- Close doors and windows protecting the openings with wet cloth, turn off air conditioners and ventilators avoiding the exchange of air with the outside.
- Pay attention to the information given by the authorities through megaphones, other means and possible signals: they can provide useful indications on the measures to adopt
- Keep informed by radio and TV until the alarm has ceased, and follow the indications given by the authorities on the measures to adopt and the ongoing situation.
- At the end of the alarm, air the rooms and check the local radios to follow the post emergency situation.

1. In classical mythology, a gryphon is a monster that has the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. Why is this story called Grryphon?
Because the teacher Miss Ferenczis teaching method is a combination of real facts and some things that are not real she utilizes the schools lesson plans and a bit of her own story telling to teach her students.
2. Describe Miss Ferenczis physical appearance. Why is her appearance important to the story? How does it change as the story progress?
Fine light hair done up in a chignon and she wore gold rimmed glasses with a faint blue tint with two prominent lines descending vertically from the side of her face. Her appearance is important to the story because she seems to be strict at the first moment when she first gathers the boy to settle for lecture. However, she reveals her sweet side when choosing to have lunch with the kids. She first had an elegant chignon, and then on the second day her clothes were bright green blouse and pink scarf with her hair done in pigtails held by red rubber bands. Last, she goes to school with her hair hung straight down and seemed hardly to have been combed.
3. How is Miss Ferenczis different from other teachers? From other substitute teachers? From other people in general? How is her differentness communicated to her pupils to the storys readers?
She brings the first thoughts of philosophy, and really challenges to students to try to
dechiper fantasy from reality. It makes the both the readers and the characters question
4. What is the significance of the narrator’s comment in paragraph 11, that the lines on Miss Ferenczis face remind him of Pinocchio?
Because she had two prominent lines descending vertically from the sides of her mouth to her chin, and on top of that all the mysterious and mythical stories she is telling.
5. Is Miss Ferenczis a round or a flat character? Explain
I believe she is a flat character. While we know simple facts about her, that's all we
know. We know she likes to tell stories, and that she dresses funny,...


Electronic waste: graphene to recover gold from e-waste
The ‘philosopher’s stone to recover gold from waste
(Sustainabilityenvironment.com) – Electronic waste is a small gold mine, literally. Printed circuit boards can contain up to 60 different chemical elements, offering a valuable secondary source of precious and base metals. Gold included. A 2014 study estimated that by recycling a ton of phones you could get an average of up to 0.34 kg of Au. Too bad that recovering gold from e-waste is a process often complicated, inefficient and related to the use of chemicals or high temperatures. A hand in the circular economy comes today from an international study, edited by the University of Manchester, Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The team of researchers has developed a fairly simple method to recover gold from electronic waste. The trick? Use graphene.
According to the article in Nature Communications, the scientists first ground the waste and then dissolve it in a solution. A graphene oxide “sheet” was then added to the latter. In a few minutes the pure gold began to accumulate on the surface of the sheet and to extract it the researchers simply burned graphene.
Says Dr Yang Su of Tsinghua University, who led the research: “This apparent magic is essentially a simple electrochemical process. Unique interactions between graphene and gold ions guide the reaction and also produce exceptional selectivity. Only gold is extracted without other ions or salts”.
In detail, 1 gram of graphene is enough to recover almost double the amount of gold. And also in highly diluted samples. “Not only do our results promise to make this part of the economy more sustainable – added Professor Andre Geim of the University of Manchester, co-author of the research – but they also emphasize how different atomic-thin materials may be different from their better-known ‘parents’. Graphite, for example, is useless for extracting gold, while graphene represents almost the philosopher’s stone”.


All printers come with a set of printer consumables like ink and toner cartridges that control the quality and quantity of the prints produced by your printer. This blog article will give you information on what they are and their types.
What are Printer Consumables?
Printer consumables are items that are used to keep your printer running smoothly. These can include toner, ink cartridges, and paper. To keep your printer working optimally, you must regularly replace these items. Here are some tips on how to use printer consumables:
-When your printer shows signs of wear, like low print quality or page errors, it is time to replace your ink cartridges and toner. Replace them every 200 pages or so, depending on your printer type.
-When the print quality starts to degrade, or when the cartridge does not seem to be printing any more color, it is time to replace it again, replace them every 200 pages or so.
-If you notice that your paper is becoming brittle and falling apart, it may be time to replace it every 6 months or so.
What are the types of Printer Consumables?
Printer consumables are the different types of ink and toner cartridges, paper, and other supplies that printers need to keep running. Different types of printers use different consumables, so it can be helpful to know what those are before you start buying them.
Three main types of printer consumables are inkjet, laser, and photocopiers. Each type uses its type of cartridge and paper.
Inkjet cartridges use ink to print pages on paper. Laser cartridges use lasers to print pages on paper. Photocopiers use a light source to copy pages from one medium to another. Each type of printer needs its type of cartridge and paper for optimal performance.If you need high-quality and affordable printer consumables like replacement toner cartridges or replacement ink cartridges, then G&G should be your first choice.
Printers are essential for any business, and with the increasing popularity of digital printing, printer consumables are becoming even more important. In this article, we have discussed what printer consumables are and their types. I hope this article has helped you better pick printer consumables like G&G and given you some ideas on how to use them for the best effect in your business.


Abstract: Historically, poinsettia cuttings shipped into Ontario from offshore production facilities have carried very low levels of immature Bemisia whiteflies. These have been successfully controlled by preventative releases of parasitoids (Encarsia formosa, Eretmocerus mundus). In 2012 though, cuttings arrived into Ontario carrying large numbers of Bemisia eggs and nymphs. Parasitoid releases proceeded as normal but failed to regulate whitefly populations; multiple pesticide treatments were required to provide effective control. Endemic whitefly resistance (owing to heavy pesticide use in production facilities) means that insecticides registered in Canada frequently have reduced efficacy. Furthermore, pesticide residues on imported material can have a detrimental effect on parasitoid survival and performance. To ensure greater sustainability in poinsettia production, new methods of control are required to mitigate incoming pests on cuttings and ensure that biological control systems can be maintained through the crop production cycle. Several reduced-risk products, biopesticides and combination treatments, applied to infested cuttings by dipping immediately prior to sticking, were therefore evaluated to determine their relative efficacy against whitefly, ensure compatibility with parasitoids and to assess possible phytotoxic effects. A combination of insecticidal soap and Beauveria bassiana (BotaniGard® WP; BioWorks Inc., Victor, NY) was the most effective treatment tested; phytotoxic effects were minimal (some variation across cultivars) and survival of Encarsia and Eretmocerus was not affected following release onto treated leaves. The project has allowed effective treatments to be identified that can be readily implemented on a commercial scale.

Educators and facilitators need to create a safe, trusted space where all students can feel comfortable participating in virtual activities and engaging with each other in open dialogue. To accomplish this, educators should strive to be transparent about their expectations and rules, provide clear guidelines for how students should interact with each other, and promote civil behaviour between students during group activities.
In addition to establishing a safe space, educators should also take proactive steps to foster diversity among student groups. This could include ensuring multiple perspectives are represented in discussions, encouraging students to share their backgrounds and experiences, and considering any accessibility issues that may arise.
Finally, educators should ensure that they regularly review the class’s and its members’ progress. This can be done through surveys or feedback forms that help identify areas where improvement may be needed. By continuously evaluating the program’s effectiveness, educators can better understand how to create a more inclusive virtual learning space for all students.
By following these guidelines, educators can help create a diverse and welcoming online environment for all students. Ultimately, this will improve educational outcomes for everyone involved in virtual learning programs.Need to find out more? Click Here
