While the Mozart-effect may be questionable, there’s no doubt that studying music can improve children’s minds. Music causes you to think differently, decode faster (increasing reading fluency), and helps fine-motor skills to develop – these are things I have seen from my own students! Here is an article from PBS on some benefits of music education.
About Lady Fair
Lady is a musician with a bachelor's degree in music education. She plays multiple instruments and has participated in numerous musical ensembles, giving her a wide variety of experiences and knowledge to use in her teaching career. Of her ensemble participation, she has fifteen years of band experience, nine years choral, and four years in orchestra. Éowyn's primary instrument is clarinet, with voice and piano being close secondary instruments. Throughout her musical education career she studied voice and clarinet simultaneously. In addition to clarinet, piano, and voice, she has also studied violin and oboe at the college level, and also plays recorder, tin whistle, and other instruments in the woodwind family.
If you ask her, she will say, "I chose to major in music education because I have a desire to use my knowledge and experience in music to share its beauty and foster a love of music in the hearts of my students. I hope to encourage my students to try their hardest, feel like they have accomplished something, and give them a life long passion for music."
Lady currently teaches private lessons on clarinet, sax, flute, oboe, piano, and voice, and recently gained a position teaching orchestra and chorus at a local middle school. She is also a member of the Once Upon a Dream woodwind ensembles.

Description: Not so long ago Croatia was part of Yugoslavia, a federation of socialist republics based on a one-party system in which parliamentary democracy was a forbidden term. Yugoslavia was led by Tito, its lifelong ruler, whose idea of communism was more progressive than in Stalin’s Russia. Thus, “Titoism” was a synonym for “betrayal of communism” in Soviet Union; Titoism has workers’ self management at its core, as opposed to absolute power and control in Stalinism. Tito, therefore, has remained for a vast majority of people one of the greatest leader of the Balkans. What was it like to live in time of Tito’s Yugoslavia will be revealed to you while walking through the part of the city where in time of socialism heavy industry was flourishing. We will be able to see some of the most important examples of architecture of that time in Dubrovnik. We will talk about the dark side of ex Yugoslavia – its intelligence agencies and suppression of the political opponents, as well as the bright sides of that time – a strong welfare state that provided free education and health care, social support to citizens in need and specific housing policies that secured the working population a place to live.

When you think of “wasps”, you’re probably picturing swarms of aggressive black and yellow insects that can sting repeatedly and painfully. Those would be yellow jackets. While they can sometimes be confused with paper wasps, hornets and even bees, yellow jackets account for the most incidents of stinging every year and their colonies can contain thousands of insects.
These wasps are found all over the United States and are known as a “generalist” species, meaning they can survive in practically any environment. They are particularly abundant where humans are due to the ease of finding food and shelter to build their nests. Some types of yellow jackets use old rodent burrows to start their nests underground, while others may build them in the eaves of houses or voids in walls.
Yellowjackets usually start a new nest every year and can easily expand to over 10,000 members in one summer. Most of the workers will die off in the colder months, leaving the queens to hibernate until the next spring.
Yellow jackets can be dangerous to humans due to their aggression and ability to sting multiple times. The potentially large size of a swarm of yellow jackets can also pose a real threat. While a sting is painful, a small number will usually be no cause for concern. If you receive many stings or have an allergy to wasp venom, however, seek medical attention.
Because they build nests under the ground, yellow jackets will be a common presence in outdoor spaces and it’s not always easy to avoid them. As scavengers that eat a wide variety of foods, they are likely to attack even if their nest is not being directly threatened.
These social wasps are considered pests due to the size the colonies can grow to and the danger they pose to humans. If you have a yellow jacket nest in your yard or on your property, do not touch it or attempt to destroy it as this could cause the wasps to swarm out and attack. If you’re in Salt Lake or Utah County, contact H2 Pest Control for safe and professional wasp nest removal.
There are some things you can do to prevent yellow jackets from infesting your yard:
If you have yellow jackets on your property and you want to get rid of them, the best way to remove them is to call a professional pest control company like H2 Pest Control. Serving all across Salt Lake County and Utah County, we can identify and remove underground wasp nests safely and efficiently.


Tutzinger Nachwuchstagung: Remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis - 60 Years Later
An Exhibit and Theater Workshop
27.07.2022 - 29.07.2022 / Tagung Nr. 30-8-22*
In Kooperation mit der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Leitung: Saskia Hieber / Andreas Etges
Sekretariat: Iryna Bielefeld, Tel: 08158-256-53
* Fester Teilnehmerkreis. Zusätzliche Anmeldungen nur nach Rücksprache mit dem Tagungssekretariat.
60 years ago, in October 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink of a nuclear war. President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, who both bear some responsibility for the dangerous crisis, found a way to end the “thirteen days” peacefully and without losing face. And they learned crucial lessons, started to build trust, and worked on détente agreements. This workshop for students from LMU Munich consists of three elements: 1. Curating an exhibit on the Cuban Missile Crisis that will be shown at Amerikahaus Munich and in Berlin. 2. Working on and rehearsing a stage(d) reading that consists of primary sources from the time plus a multimedia presentation. 3. Creating social media content (e.g. a website and a Twitter newsfeed). Workshop seminars for students and support for young academics represent an important objective for the work of the Akademie in Tutzing.


ECORP provided biological, archeological, and Tribal monitoring services for site investigation and fencing installation activities at various Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) sites at Fallbrook Naval Weapons Station (NWS) in San Diego County, California.
Special-Status Species Surveys and Impact Mitigation Services
When a species is listed as special-status, threatened, or endangered by The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS), permits are required to survey, monitor, remove, and relocate them during construction or the implementation of facility operations. An ECORP biologist with the required permits conducted initial site flagging surveys at each of the sites with potential Stephens Kangaroo Rat (SKR) habitats. These flags helped to provide resource protection oversight to biological monitors to ensure that the then-endangered SKR species and their habitat would be protected during the course of the Fallbrook Naval Weapons Station Project.
Biological and Cultural Resources Monitoring Services
ECORP provided biological and cultural resources monitoring services during construction and project implementation in accordance with project permits. The biological and cultural monitors selected possessed years of experience in the field and expert knowledge of the sensitive species and biological and cultural resources issues in the project area. As part of these monitoring services, ECORP documented compliance with applicable permits, maintenance of buffer/protection areas, and protection of sensitive species and their habitats.
Archaeological and Native American Tribal Consultation Support Services
ECORP prepared an Archaeological and Native American Monitoring Plan for review and approval by Navy archaeologists. The Plan included monitoring procedures, coordination with the remediation team, and procedures to be implemented if cultural material was found. An ECORP archaeologist monitored soil testing in order to identify any archaeological material that might be encountered and provided a Native American monitor through a subconsultant, Native Grounds. The Native American monitor observed ground-disturbing activities to identify any cultural resources of significance to the Luiseño, the Native American people who were the original inhabitants of the Fallbrook area.

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus is a book written by Charles C. Mann and published in 2005. The book challenges traditional views of pre-Columbian America by presenting new evidence and interpretations of the history and culture of Native American civilizations prior to European contact. 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus Book PDF Free Download From Book Drive.
Mann argues that the commonly held belief that the Americas were largely uninhabited prior to Columbus’s arrival in 1492 is incorrect. Instead, he suggests that the Americas were home to millions of people who had developed complex societies with advanced technologies, agriculture, and trade networks.
Also Download, The History of the Ancient World Book PDF
Through a combination of archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and modern scientific research, Mann explores the richness and diversity of pre-Columbian civilizations in North, Central, and South America. He also discusses the devastating impact of European diseases, such as smallpox, on Native American populations and challenges the notion that European culture was inherently superior to that of the indigenous peoples.
The book has been praised for its thorough research and engaging writing style, as well as for its efforts to challenge and revise traditional narratives of Native American history. It has become a popular resource for scholars and lay readers interested in understanding the history and culture of the Americas prior to European colonization.


Ceanothus americanus New Jersey Tea. Host plant for Spring and Summer Azure and Eastern Tailed Blue butterflies.
A deciduous shrub that grows just 3′ tall, the dried leaves of New Jersey Tea make a flavorful tea that was popular during the Revolutionary War. This extremely adaptable species can withstand inhospitable conditions because of massive, deep roots.
The white flower poms are attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and pollinators.
New Jersey Tea is excellent as a shrub border and a is a fabulous addition for native plant gardens. It is also effective as a shrubby ground cover for hard-to-grow areas such as dry rocky slopes and banks. Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Best in sandy loams or rocky soils with good drainage. Thick, woody, red roots go deep and help plant withstand droughty conditions, but make established shrubs difficult to transplant.
Grown in one quart pot with approximately 6” of top growth.
Plants grown without harmful pesticides and are safe for butterfly gardens.

Let be the set of all people, let be the proposition “You consent to let make you feel inferior,” and let be the proposition “ makes you feel inferior.” Translate the logical statement
This is the contrapositive of a famous quote by Eleanor Roosevelt.
Context: Part of the discrete mathematics course includes an introduction to predicate and propositional logic for our math majors. As you can probably guess from their names, students tend to think these concepts are dry and uninteresting even though they’re very important for their development as math majors.
In an effort to making these topics more appealing, I spent a few days mining the depths of popular culture in a (likely futile) attempt to make these ideas more interesting to my students. In this series, I’d like to share what I found. Naturally, the sources that I found have varying levels of complexity, which is appropriate for students who are first learning prepositional and predicate logic.
When I actually presented these in class, I either presented the logical statement and had my class guess the statement in actual English, or I gave my students the famous quote and them translate it into predicate logic. However, for the purposes of this series, I’ll just present the statement in predicate logic first.


Coal, Capital and Conflicts
The Sundarbans are the largest contiguous mangrove forest area in the world. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and cover a large part of the Bangladesh coast. This unique ecosystem is under massive threat. Only a few kilometers north of the protected area, the Rampal coal-fired power plant is being built. In the future, about 200 container ships per year will cross the mangroves to supply the power plant with almost 4 million tons of imported coal. Waste and pollutants threaten the regional ecosystem and the population. The construction is justified with the necessary industrialization of the country.
The study by Asia expert Dieter Reinhardt shows why the construction of this coal-fired power plant is an exemplary anachronism: it prevents the expansion of renewable energies, which is necessary because of climate change and for which Bangladesh has the potential; and it weakens coastal protection, which should have priority in view of rising sea levels. Rampal also shows how a whole series of internationally active investors, banks and companies want to continue the fossil fuel era.

Talga Group – Sweden’s material role in the green revolution
The green revolution is underway. Entire sectors are being electrified at an unprecedented rate, and no sector is changing as quickly as transport.
This is heartening news for anyone concerned about climate change, because the transport sector is one of the biggest contributors to global warming. If we can replace fossil-fuelled vehicles with electric vehicles, we have taken a big step in the right direction. This green shift will be crucial for curbing greenhouse gas emissions and avoiding a worst-case scenario for climate change.
Crucial to this green shift are the ambitions of governments around the world. Sweden has embraced admirable climate policies to address the challenge. In 2017, the Swedish Parliament adopted a new climate policy framework which consists of a climate act, climate targets and a climate policy council. Sweden’s long-term target is to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 at the latest.
However, to achieve this green shift, we need to embrace and make new technology.
Minerals and metals are a crucial part of this transition. Sweden’s bedrock is rich in the very minerals and metals required for production of batteries used in electric vehicles, and Talga has all the prerequisites to extract them in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Due to our extremely high-grade graphite resources and world-leading industrial processes, our mine has a far smaller physical footprint than traditional graphite mines.

College Preparatory Program
We expect 100% of our students to participate in the College Preparatory Program, which will prepare students for the college application process and college entrance exams. We will conduct college visits and offer workshops for parents to support them in the college application process. Our educational program will stress the skills needed to succeed in college, which includes critical thinking and analysis, problem solving, and writing for different audiences and purposes. In addition, in the eleventh and twelfth grades, students will have opportunities to explore careers in order to aid them in the college selection process.
Our goal is to prepare our students for college. In order to achieve this goal, we will emphasize critical analysis and evaluation, synthesis of information, and the ability to read and write different styles for different purposes. To help our students gain proficiency in these areas, we will use service learning and problem based learning to give them opportunities to reinforce and extend their learning within the context of real world situations. These skills will prepare our students for the Regents and college entrance exams.
Problem-based learning is a natural outgrowth of service learning. In designing curriculum that incorporates this approach, teachers will select and structure problems so that they address both the important content objectives of the curriculum and real-world issues. In solving the problems presented, students will develop creative thinking, make connections across the disciplines, and use questioning as a clarifying tool. Teachers will facilitate this learning by challenging, questioning, and stimulating students in their thinking and problem solving process. Technology is an integral component of this process, used for communication, informational access, research, data analysis, and publishing. By the time they graduate, students will be prepared to succeed in college.


In this tutorial, I will show you how to harvest basil seeds from plants and how to save seeds to be ready for seeding in the next seeding season.
Step by step guide
Step 1 – Cut basil flowers, the top bits of the basil plant, (as in the above photo), place it on the piece of paper, and leave it in a cool and dry place for a couple of weeks to dry. You will know that your cuttings are dry enough for seed harvesting once you see that some seeds started to drop off on the piece of paper.
Step 2 – Once the cuttings are dry, take each cutting over the white piece of paper and between your two fingers and squeeze out seeds from the buds. The white paper is handy to use as you will easily see seeds dropping down on it.
The seeds that will come out of each bud will look oval, like a small brownish/blackish eggs. They are about 2 millimeters long and 1 millimeter wide (as in the above photo) and pretty hard. They smell of the basil.
Step 3 – Keep squeezing each bud. You will get about 5 to 6 pieces of seeds from each bud. To collect as much as possible seeds, make sure you squeeze all of them out.
Step 4 – Collect all seeds from the paper and place them in the container. Put the container in the dry, dark, and preferably drafty place, out of direct sunshine to dry and get ready for seeding in the next seeding season.
So, to harvest the seeds from basil you would need one piece of white paper to make sure you see each seed that comes out of the basil buds and small container where you will collect all seeds.
What to do with empty buds? Save the empty buds and use it in cooking as you would use basil leaves.


What is Sacramento, California Known for?
Sacramento is a city in the north-central part of the U.S. state of California.
Sacramento city covers just shy of one hundred square miles and is home to almost half a million residents.
Sacramento is known to some as ‘the City of Trees’, a nickname owing to its overwhelming abundance of trees
Sacramento is also America’s “Farm-to-Fork” capital, because of its rich agricultural industry.
These agricultural credentials inspired some residents to nickname the city the ‘Big Tomato’, thanks to its many tomato canneries.
The city is home to the Blue Diamond headquarters, which makes sense considering California state produces 80% of the world’s almonds.
Sacramento is rich in history, culture, and tourist attractions
Sacramento has been long celebrated as a wonderful place to visit and a great place to settle down. In 2004, the City of Trees was crowned one of the five “most liveable” regions in America.
Sacramento enjoys a Mediterranean climate. This means that the weather is generally good all year round

Association of doping awareness among sportspersons of Punjab in relation to different sportsAuthor(s):
The present study was designed to examine the association of doping awareness among sportspersons in Punjab with regards to different sports. A sample of one thousand (N=1000) players from different sports i.e. handball, football, hockey, kabaddi (P.S) and kabaddi (N.S) from Punjab was selected for the present study. Out of 1000, two hundred (N=200) subjects were selected randomly from each game to fulfill the purpose of the present study. To obtain the required information to assess the association of doping awareness among sports persons of Punjab, doping awareness questionnaire was constructed by the researcher. The Chi2 was employed to examine the association of different sports with regard to doping awareness among sportspersons of Punjab. Descriptive statistics was also carried out. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The results of the present study indicated that the hockey players found statistically significantly high doping awareness association as compared to their handball, football, kabaddi (P.S) and Kabaddi (N.S) counterparts.Pages: 108-110 | 485 Views 8 DownloadsDownload Full Article:

An image produced in a photographic emulsion on a sheet of film, paper or glass by exposure to light and to development in photosensitive chemicals. This process reverses all values and colors of light and dark areas of the image to which the emulsion was originally exposed, light areas appearing dark (opaque) and shadows appearing light (transparent). Negative is the opposite of positive, especially when positive represents the values and colors of an image much as they would appear in reality. Negative can also be a synonym for "no," and as in judgment, can signify disapproval.Quote: Sometime in the 1950s Oxford philosopher J.L. Austin presented a lecture at Columbia Universtiy on the philosophy of language. "In English," he said, "a double-negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double-negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double-positive can form a negative." Someone at the back of the room muttered dismissively: "Yeah, yeah." The voice was that of Sidney Morgenbesser (1921-2004), American philosopher. Cited by James Ryerson in an article about Morgenbesser, "Sidewalk Socrates," New York Times Magazine, December 26, 2004, p. 35. Also see art criticism, bad art, blot, invert, and ugly.


Soybean is one of the largest sources of vegetable oil and of animal protein feed in the world with an estimated global export value of $58 billion USD in 2018.
Large amounts of nitrogen are needed for soybeans due to their high seed protein content, and soybean obtains 50-60% of it from the atmosphere. This is possible due to symbiotic interactions with nitrogen-fixing bacteria collectively called rhizobia, which pull nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it to a form the plants can use. This process reduces the need for chemical nitrogen fertilizers, which are expensive and cause environmental pollution.
Rhizobia are only present within root nodules, which are a root lateral organ. Understanding the regulation of genes involved in lateral root and nodule development will inform biotechnological strategies to optimize nodule formation and enhance nitrogen fixation.
In a paper recently published in in silico Plants, Dr. Shuchi Smita and coauthors present a robust computational framework to predict potential gene regulatory networks (GRNs) associated with root lateral and nodule development in soybean. This framework integrated genomic and transcriptomic data to infer the key regulators and GRNs associated with nodule development in soybean.
This study identified 21 gene regulatory modules of 182 co-regulated genes networks potentially involved in root lateral organ development stages in soybean, including previously known nodule- and lateral root-associated transcription factors.
Senthil Subramanian, Associate Professor of Plant Science at South Dakota State University, explains “understanding molecular mechanisms behind genotype to phenotype relationships will help determine key gene targets for genetic or biotechnological strategies that can optimize nodule formation and enhance nitrogen output.”


A success story: Seed saved before Black Saturday Bushfires
West Gippsland Seedbank collected a large number of seeds from Labertouche Creek Reserve, not long before it was destroyed by the Black Saturday Bushfires.
West Gippsland Seedbank is pleased to play a part in revegetation within our region. By collecting local seed, we’re not only supporting new planting projects, but we’re also helping to preserve indigenous species. This was never clearer than at the time of the Black Saturday Bushfires.
In the spring of 2008, Melbourne Water asked West Gippsland Seedbank to collect seed from Labertouche Creek Reserve, so they could plant local, indigenous species in the adjacent land.
Labertouche Creek Reserve is one of our regular collection sites, and we were happy to help out. They placed an order with us for 3kg of seed, from 35 different indigenous species. As you can imagine, we spent most of the summer collecting seed for that particular order.
However, our collection was cut short by the horrific Black Saturday Bushfires in February 2009. The fires totally destroyed Labertouche Creek Reserve, and its valued indigenous plants.
West Gippsland Seedbank was fortunate to have collected a large number of seeds from the reserve in the weeks and months leading up to the bushfires. Some of the species we collected were Eucalyptus cephalocarpa (Silver Stringybark), Acacia oxycedrus (Spike Wattle), Acacia genistifolia (Spreading Wattle) and Prostanthera lasianthos (Victorian Christmas Bush). While these species are not rare, they are found only in certain areas of West Gippsland. With the parent plants lost to the fires, the seed we collected became even more precious.
Later that year, Melbourne Water carried out its direct seeding project in the land adjacent to the reserve, with the seed we collected.
The reserve recovered over time, but this tragic incident reminds our volunteers just how valuable their seed collection work can be.


Malcolm X Was Assassinated 52 Years Ago Today; Twitter Remembers the Slain Leader
Malcolm X, the Black liberation leader and former minister of the Nation of Islam, was assassinated during his address at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, N.Y., 52 years ago today (Feb. 21) at the age of 39.
A former criminal, Malcolm X was educated by the teachings of Islam while in prison for burglary at the age of 21. When he was released, he became a minister for the Nation of Islam under the guidance of its leader Elijah Muhammad. During his tenure, he was remembered for his fiery speeches where he advocated self-defense and defiance against white supremacy. His voice would become very influential in the civil rights movement.
Malcolm X's legacy was remembered on social media as people went on Twitter to honored the late Muslim leader by tweeting out quotes from his speeches, posting archival photos and writing personal testimonies of how the late Muslim leader shaped their lives.
In light of it being the day of Malcolm X's death, fellow civil rights icon John Lewis, the late Nina Simone and Barbara Jordan were also born on this day. All of them are deserving of tributes as well.
"Don't let anyone tell you what Malcolm X represented.... read his autobiography and learn the truth for yourself," tweeted one person, while another user wrote, "Listen to Malcolm's words for yourself. Understand his development over time. Appreciate his complexity. Resist revisionism."
Below is just a sampling of tributes to Malcolm X. The revolutionary leader may be gone but he certainly has not been forgotten.


Earlier, graphics, animations, games and other applications were developed using Adobe Flash. But with the penetration of mobile devices, the whole trend has changed.

You will need
- Computer with installed software (Power Point)
To make a slide presentation, on a computer, open PowerPoint and select "New presentation" from the main menu. You can choose the presentation with any template, change the background color and the type of data on a slide, format the font, add pictures, etc. using the button "create a slide you can add new slides to your presentation.
The important thing to remember when creating an effective slide presentation, is the audience at which it is aimed. The presentation of the material to Mature businessmen and students must be significantly different. So if you want you and your presentation to understand, keep this rule in mind, consider the age, interests and level of education of your listeners.
Avoid using a variety of colors. A good slide presentation should be easy to read. Think about the place where you will speak – whether there is good lighting, acoustics, what is the capacity of the audience, if there is a special equipment for slide shows, as far as the listener is removed from you? In any case, a variety of bright colors not only complicates the process of reading the slides and abstract management students, but also distracts from the fact the slide presentation.
Effective slide show is as simple as possible and concise text, positioned so that to read it is convenient from any distance. Remember, having information on the slides. Separate the sentences with paragraphs. Do thoughts quick, but affordable. For more information and a detailed explanation of the short abstracts you can always write in the notes.
Don't overuse animation and other technical bells and whistles when creating slide presentations. Maybe it will give the impression that you have carefully prepared the presentation file, however, excessive flickering of the text will cause irritation and your arguments will not be heard.


Waiting for answer This question has not been answered yet. You can hire a professional tutor to get the answer.
What makes an oxygen atom different from a carbon atom? a. a. the number of neutrons b. the number of electrons b. c. the number of valence electrons d. the number of protons?
The answer would be d) the number of protons.
can and do differ in the number of neutrons, electrons, and , but what makes an element unique is the number of protons in has in its nucleus.
The number of protons an element has in its nucleus is known as the and, like I've said, is unique to each atom.
Carbon is in period 2, group 14 of the , and has an equal to 6. This means that a neutral carbon atom has 6 protons in its nucleus and 6 electrons surrounding the nucleus.
Oxygen, on the other hand, is located in period 2, group 16 of , which means it has and atomic number equal to 8 - 8 protons in its nucleus and 8 electrons surrounding the nucleus.
So, as a conclusion, you can never have two distinct elements with the same atomic number, i.e the same number of protons in the nucleus.


Dogs spend a good part of their life sleeping because that's how they're genetically designed. In fact, the time to worry is when your dog isn't sleeping as much as he used to. Changes in sleeping patterns can indicate a problem—whether that means a health issue or stress. All dogs sleep a lot—and some sleep even more.
Also question is, how do I stop my dog from begging for food?
Tell every member of your family to quit giving your dog food from the table, food from the couch, food from the chair, food from the desk etc. He should only be eating food from his bowl. When you are eating, place your dog in a sit/stay or down/stay and have him remain there until your meal is finished.
Why is my dog always so hungry?
In many of the above cases, the underlying mechanism leading to increased hunger is the same: your dog's body is unable to absorb the nutrients in the food or digest it properly, so their appetite goes into overdrive. They are actually starving no matter how much food they eat, so they compensate by eating everything.
How do you teach your dog to beg?
Begin with your dog sitting.
- Hold a treat in front of your dog's nose, and give him the command "beg."
- Slowly move the treat up so your dog will have to stretch his nose up in the air to reach it.
- As soon as your dog lifts his nose in the air, click your clicker or tell him "good," and give him a treat.


Technology should be in service of the human, not the other way around’. With technology being available to more people around the world, we can’t help but wonder if the technology is slowing replacing humans and humanity. More organizations are implementing artificial intelligence or AI and realizing its power. Many society sectors are asking profound ethical and social questions on how AI should and can be used responsibly.
Avoiding the Perpetuation of Bias
One of the biggest concerns in AI is probably managing bias. Humans are full of agendas and opinions so it can only be expected that AI may see biases in existing datasets. Humans need to identify bias and manage it. We should also train AI systems to identify it so AI models can be prevented from reinforcing stereotypes which can allow bias to influence predictions and recommendations.
For example, a bank is trying to predict whether to give an applicant a loan. If past data from the bank shows that people from minorities or women aren’t given as many loans, the AI algorithm might come up with the decision to reject the loan application. This way, AI picked up the bias and perpetuated it.
This can be prevented by carefully examining the training data since AI algorithms depend highly on it. And training data can be influenced by human bias. Diversity should be considered in decision making. Protected classes like gender and race should be excluded where appropriate.
The Next Level of AI
AI ethics is continuously being debated and developed by groups like the Partnership on AI. These groups are composed of education and technology leaders, which include Salesforce, from different fields. They have joined forces to tackle the responsible development and use of AI technologies. The ultimate goal is for AI to empower humans instead of dehumanizing us.

This study is a comprehensive meta-analysis on health claims linked to exposure to golf courses, more specifically the chemicals used to maintain their appearance. It provides a brief history of the golf industry and how its growth exacerbated the environmental impact as well as an explanation of the legal landscape that will affect golf course management. Golf courses can disrupt local ecologies, contaminate ground water, rivers, lakes and streams with run-off, and be responsible for the bioaccumulation of chemicals which remain dangerous for decades. Despite the adverse effects of golf courses on the environment, there remains an opportunity to transform the golf industry into a sustainable enterprise. There are always natural alternatives to the synthetic chemicals, and much better ways of incorporating the natural environment into the overall function of golf courses to help minimize their negative ecological impact and health risks. The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) regulates the Best Management Practices for each states’ golf courses. This study assesses the quality of Montana’s Best Management Practices, provides a list of alternative management practice that have been identified as safe for humans and the environment, and seeks to include more wildlife management principles. This is especially important going forward as there have been legal decisions that put the liability on golf courses using carcinogenic chemicals.

Objectivists know the fundamental importance of ideas: ideas rule man’s actions. But what does it really mean, in practice, to take ideas seriously? Does doing so depend on one’s intellect? On one’s premises? On motivations? Does it depend on taking anything else seriously?
Understanding this issue sheds light on cultural phenomena, such as rampant inconsistency and hypocrisy, and can thus inform strategies for battling noxious philosophies. Even more important, however, it deepens our grasp of central components of Objectivism, including the relationship between ideas and reality and the reason why rational principles are at once absolute and contextual. It sheds light on how to apply principles properly—rationally and beneficially.
The discussion proceeds in four main stages: A survey of cases of people’s failing to take ideas seriously; an examination of the basic meaning and demands of taking ideas seriously; a three-pronged analysis of the reasons for failing to take ideas seriously (explaining social influences, intellectual errors and a psychological key); and the implications for action.
By drilling into the most fundamental dividing lines between those who do take ideas seriously and those who do not, we see the critical role not only of false premises, but of values.
This talk was recorded at the 2012 Objectivist Summer Conference in San Diego, CA.

Introduction to Intel I/OAT
本文将介绍Intel I/OAT(I/O Acceleration Technology)相关知识点。
Intel I/OAT is actually a set of technologies that each contributes to increased performance.
The features of Intel I/OAT enhance data acceleration across the computing platform.
- Intel® QuickData Technology enables data copy by the chipset instead of the CPU, to move data more efficiently through the server and provide fast, scalable, and reliable throughput.
- Direct Cache Access (DCA) allows a capable I/O device, such as a network controller, to place data directly into CPU cache, reducing cache misses and improving application response times.
- Extended Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI-X) distributes I/O interrupts to multiple CPUs and cores, for higher efficiency, better CPU utilization, and higher application performance.
- Receive Side Coalescing (RSC) aggregates packets from the same TCP/IP flow into one larger packet, reducing per-packet processing costs for faster TCP/IP processing.
- Low latency interrupts tune interrupt interval times depending on the latency sensitivity of the data, using criteria such as port number or packet size, for higher processing efficiency.

Exerpt from 'Whistling in the Graveyard, Saving Our Students', by Joe Kelly. 2015.
The vision for Landmark High School began in the early 1970s. Superintendent J. Wayne Nelson, along with Bob Evans, traveled the country observing and researching alternative high schools in preparation for starting the school district's own school for struggling students. We have yearbooks and records that date back to 1976, the year that Landmark was created as a school.
The Nebo Alternative High School opened in the fall of 1976, with Bob Evans as the first principal and fifteen students were taught in one large room that was divided into small classrooms by 'walls' made of bookshelves. This first building is currently a part of the Nebo District Offices and is on the national register of historic places. This building, and its architectural significance is how Landmark got its name.
While the school's mascot was always a dragon, it wasn't until we moved into a new building in 2008 that we renewed our focus on its significance. Dragons represent knowledge, power, and wisdom. The Chinese believe that dragons gave man fire and taught the first Chinese emperor to read. Sumerian tradition states that dragons taught man to write cuniform.
There are as many reasons students end up attending Landmark as there are students who attend Landmark. Our teachers work diligently to help students be more successful than they have been in the past. Dragons are about change and magic and a promise that something special is about to happen. This is the attitude that we want to foster and encourage in our students. We want them to walk the halls and expect that good things will happen. Having this expectation is the beginning to their educational success.
It's a Great Day to be a Dragon!
Joe Kelly was the principal of Landmark High School from 2002-2015


Some newly academics question and answer asked over students to express what they feel is the most crucial important factor for a student to do if they wanted to become success. The one which response stood out from the rest was practice. People who are successful do not become successful by being born. They work hard and determination their lives to succeeding. If you would like to fulfill your goals, keep this in mind! down below some question and answer examples that you could use to enriches your knowledge and gain insight that will guide you to maintain your school studies.
Which equation represents the graph shown?
The linear equation of the graph is y = 35x. So, the option first is correct.
What is a linear equation?
A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is of the form y = mx + b.
The graph is a linear equation origin at 0.
Since b = 0, the 2nd and 3rd choices are incorrect.
The slope = change in y/change in x
Here, we can see that it goes up about 35 in the y-direction for every 1 unit of in the x, so the slope is 35.
so the first answer is correct which is y = 35x.
Learn about linear equations here:
From the answer and question examples above, hopefully, they may assist the student resolve the question they had been looking for and take notice of most things declared in the answer above. You can potentially then have a discussion with your classmate and continue the school learning by studying the topic with one another.


Wondering about the number of letters in Madurese and French alphabets? When you compare Madurese vs French alphabets you will understand the number of alphabets in both the languages. Because lesser the number of alphabets, faster the language to learn, find all the Easiest Languages to Learn. Madurese and French Alphabets are collection of symbols or letters used for writing. Madurese alphabets contain 27 letters and French Alphabets contain 26 letters. The writing direction of Madurese is Not Available whereas the writing direction of French is Left-To-Right, Horizontal. Madurese and French Alphabets are the basics of Madurese and French languages. Check the detailed comparison of Madurese and French.
Compare Madurese and French alphabets and find out scripts used by Madurese and French language. Madurese and French scripts are the methodology and rules for writing. Scripts used by Madurese and French languages are Latin and Latin respectively. After learning alphabets in Madurese and French you can also learn useful Madurese greetings vs French greetings.
If you are comparing Madurese and French alphabets then you need to find out Madurese vowels vs French vowels too. The number of vowels and consonants in Madurese are 6 and 21 and number of vowels and consonants in French are 6 and 20. Language codes are unique and are two or three letter codes assigned to each language. Check out all the language codes of Madurese and French language codes.
Is Madurese harder than French? No language is hard or easy to learn as it depends on individual interest and efforts for learning that language. When you decide to learn any language, you need to find out time required to learn that language and levels in that language. As mentioned above, while comparing Madurese and French Alphabets the number of alphabets in any language decides hardness in learning that language.

Some people have more trouble adjusting to daylight saving time than others and genes may be the reason why, says an expert on sleep/wake patterns.
The time change occurs 2 a.m. Sunday morning when clocks “spring ahead” one hour.
“It is likely that advancing our clocks in the spring would more affect owls, those individuals who tend to stay awake later at night and consequently wake up later in the morning,” said Dr. Joseph Takahashi.
“Less affected are the larks, those individuals who tend to wake up early and go to sleep earlier,” he added. Takahashi is chairman of neuroscience at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
“Since being an owl or a lark is in large part genetically influenced, the best way to deal with daylight saving time is to be self-aware of your chronotype (early versus late awakening and sleeping) and to realize that advancing your clock will be harder if you are an owl and easier if you are a lark,” he advised in a medical center news release.
To check your chronotype, you can take a simple online test called the Munich Chronotype, Takahashi suggested.
Because some studies have found a spike in traffic crashes after the time change, Takahashi said it’s a good idea to “go to sleep slightly ahead of your normal bedtime.” Then, in the morning, he added, “have an extra coffee and be vigilant on the road.”
Research also indicates that more heart attacks occur after daylight saving time starts.
“It is now well established that the incidence of heart attacks is highest in the morning. Since waking up one hour earlier adds to stress and sleep deprivation, these might contribute to the increase,” Takahashi said.


Calcium is a basic and most important element which is required by the body for a better health and development of the body. This element helps in enhancing muscles and tissues with enhancing the development of bones and skeletal structure. The requirement of this is widely needed in young growing animals. In goat and sheep it is widely used for the better development and growth as they are farmed for their milk, meat and wool. The requirement of calcium is fulfilled by the feed which they eat regularly. Feed provides basic nutrients that are needed by the body for the better development. Unavailability of calcium in the body can cause many severe health related issues and problems that can alter the growth rate. This occurs when the feed is unable to provide the required nutrient to the body in the right quantity. To overcome from this severe condition there is need of proper supplementation of calcium with other nutrients that can helps in better growth. For Calcium use can use “Calavian” a highly bioavailable calcium supplement for goat and sheep that helps in improving calcium deficiency and boost better health and body development. This fundamental calcium supplement contains calcium gluconate, calcium D saccharate, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12 which are the most vital elements for the body.
- Highly concentrated source of calcium for better result.
- Less quantity required and faster mixing .
- Faster growth and better body weight.
- Helps in recovering from osteomalacia.
- Removes stunted growth and leg weakness.
- Boost milk production.

As his men approached India a large army was waiting. They were in shock because they saw something they had never seen before and that is the entire front line of the Indian army had soldiers sitting on top of huge creatures (elephants). These men also had extremely long spears and shields so it looked like it would be practically impossible to get to them. This was the reason no one had beaten the Indian army because the elephants would charge the enemy and crush them while the soldiers on top would use their spears to help kill the rest.
Alexander assessed the situation and told his men not to charge the enemy straight on but instead to keep darting from side to side and when the elephant got close shift to one side and attack it. He told all his men to not worry about the soldiers on top but to take their fight to the elephants. The strategy worked as the elephants began coming down with their riders who were then killed. The elephants who hadn't gotten killed yet freaked out and ran away from Alexander's army crushing Indian soldiers in the process. So as with every battle that Alexander was in, he won.
After this battle Alexander's soldiers became so livid about something he did that they demanded to go home and he had to give in to them because they were going to leave with or without him. Do you know what he did? He was so impressed with their people that he gave them their kingdom back. Here the soldiers lost friends in the battle and it was all for nothing. I love world history!


Wall Cladding Systems
Wall Cladding utilizing Rainscreen Systems are based upon two separate and distinct barriers on the exterior wall. The outer barrier sheds and controls (but does not eliminate) the majority of the rainwater through hydrokinetics, while the inner barrier performs the multiple functions of a final moisture and air/vapor barrier. The outer barrier allows penetration of water through open joinery. The volume of penetrating water will vary dependent upon design principle. This is where the Drained and Back Vented and Pressure Equalized Rainscreen approaches become separate and distinct design concepts that should not be combined. Both use the principle of controlling water leakage, but not necessarily stopping water penetration through the exposed outer barrier. The inner barrier design is treated differently based upon the chosen approach. Unfortunately, the term ‘Rainscreen’ has been generalized and consolidated into one commingled product in specifications combining both systems characteristics. To complicate and confuse matters, the air and water resistance criteria from the traditional single-line barrier systems have been applied to the design and specification of the exposed outer barrier. Placing air and water tightness criteria on the outer barrier contradicts the underlying fundamentals of the Rainscreen Principle. Both approaches can work successfully, but care must be taken that the two are not confused, since the adoption of hybrid versions can result in unsatisfactory performance.


Bone carving is the act of creating art forms by carving into animal bones. It can result in the ornamentation of a bone, or the creation of a figure. A lot of bones can be used for carving, the most famous one is ivory. In the old time, lots of elephants are killed because of that. I do hope this situation will be improved. Otherwise, cow bone, fish bone, buffalo bone, camel bone are so popular material for bone carving. And due to their various features like softness/hardness, color, they can be used in different types of carving. I have listed 10 amazing Amazing Art Work of Bone Carving I found, and hope you like.

According to reports of psychologists, Americans became more socially isolated since 1985. As modern technologies developed, people gradually narrowed their social environment. Today, we are no more accustomed to having a small chat with neighbors or visiting distant relatives occasionally. We also have more excuses not to go for a party with colleagues or spend an evening with old friends. Technology contributed to general loneliness and social phobia, which invaded more Americans these days.
Gadgets and opportunities can isolate us from peers in different ways. First, they attract more our attention to the issues that are not so important. Playing games online, we lose track of time trying to relax and change activities. Next, social networks make people separated by hundreds of miles feel that they are closer to each other. Rather few of them will think of visiting a cousin who is constantly online too. As long as people surround themselves with the networks, others will find it easier just to send a message. In addition, technologies discourage us from making additional efforts to organize our leisure time. Why should we go to the theater if we can stay at home and comfortably watch a movie on DVD?
Surprisingly, advanced technologies have made us more busy. With a steady access to the internet, business has trespassed into our private space and made us forget everything we have been doing before. People get used to sacrificing their hobbies and doing more job on weekends. Bosses and customers induce employees to do additional tasks outside office, and the latter not plan any social engagements expecting to work in their free time.


African-Americans and Hispanics, the largest racial and ethnic minorities in the United States, made positive strides economically and educationally during the past year but continue to lag behind whites, a civil rights group’s annual study contends.
“The theme of this year’s State of Black America report is ‘protecting our progress,'” National Urban League CEO Marc Morial said.
In its study, released Tuesday, the league found the standard of living for African-Americans was 72.3 percent of that of whites, on average. For Hispanics, the equality index was a bit higher, at 78.4 percent. The index measures quality of life for blacks and Hispanics in terms of economics, health, education, social justice and civic engagement.
Minority employment is at its highest level in almost a decade, but “any progress made towards racial equality is increasingly under threat.” Morial said. More minorities have health care at a time when efforts are underway to roll back expanding coverage, he added.
Improvements in education
The report indicated that African-Americans made gains in education, with a growing percentage of blacks staying in school and obtaining associate degrees.
According to the report, racial disparities plague minorities in terms of social justice equality. As examples, the report noted that more blacks are jailed after being arrested than is the case with whites, and that whites posted a greater decline than blacks in their likelihood of being victims of violent crime.
The study also found a troubling rise in hate crimes committed against members of religious and racial minorities. “A nation of a great mosaic that the United States of America represents cannot tolerate hateful incidents. It is corrosive, it is divisive and it is un-American,” Morial said.
The Trump administration has proposed major budget cuts to government programs that help low-income Americans, who are disproportionately black. The civil rights organization said it would press lawmakers and private groups to invest $4 trillion over the next 10 years in job training, enhanced education programs and infrastructure projects to revitalize minority communities.


The coronavirus has evolved as it made its way across the world, as any virus is expected to do. But experts have been startled by the pace at which significant new variants have emerged, adding new urgency to the race between the world’s best defenses — vaccinations, lockdowns and social distancing — and an aggressive, ever-changing foe.
The new variant pummeling Britain has already been found in about 45 countries, from Singapore to Oman to Jamaica, but many countries are effectively flying blind, with little sense of how bad the problem may be.
Long before the pandemic emerged, public health officials were calling for routine genetic surveillance of outbreaks. But despite years of warnings, many countries — including the United States — are conducting only a fraction of the genomic studies needed to determine how prevalent mutations of the virus are.
Denmark, which has invested in genetic surveillance, discovered the variant afflicting Britain in multiple Danish regions and recently tightened restrictions. The health minister compared it to a storm surge, predicting that it would dominate other variants by mid-February.
And as countries go looking, they are discovering other variants, too.
With the world stumbling in its vaccination rollout and the number of cases steeply rising to peaks that exceed those seen last spring, scientists see a pressing need to immunize as many people as possible before the virus evolves enough to render the vaccines impotent.
“It’s a race against time,” said Marion Koopmans, a Dutch virologist and a member of a World Health Organization working group on coronavirus adaptations.
The vaccine alone will not be enough to get ahead of the virus: It will take years to inoculate enough people to limit its evolution. In the meantime, social distancing, mask-wearing and hand-washing — coupled with aggressive testing, tracking and tracing — might buy some time and avert devastating spikes in hospitalizations and deaths along the way. These strategies could still turn the tide against the virus, experts said.
“We do know how to dial down the transmission of the virus by a lot with our behavior,” said Carl T. Bergstrom, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Washington in Seattle. “We’ve got a lot of agency there.”

Welcome to Juniper’s class page.
We have had a wonderful Autumn term, establishing friendships, cooking, drumming, and learning about the Anglo Saxons.
This term we start our new and exciting topic ‘Traders and Raiders’. Big and strong, powerful and brave, the Saxons wave their battle axes and brandish their swords as they begin to invade Britain’s shores. Sail back to the Dark Ages, where battles were rife and fear reigned. Find out about the lives of the Saxons, including how they lived and where they came from. Meet the bloodthirsty Vikings from Scandinavia – never before had such terror swept the land. Make a Saxon sword or a Viking brooch and decorate it with intricate patterns. Choose to be a Saxon or Viking and trade your crafty goods, but let’s keep it cool. We don’t want a fight breaking out. Are you ready to shine a light on the dangerous and deadly Dark Ages?
Our first mission was to challenge the children to make sailing boats big enough to carry them and their fellow Saxons, with all their weapons, tools, belongings, supplies and farm animals. Each boat must seat at least three oarsmen, with room for some supplies, and be strong enough to fend off attacks.
Keep checking our class page as we add photos showcasing our fabulous work.


The BETTER project
The BETTER project brings together peoples who live with type 1 diabetes and parents of children with type 1 diabetes (patient-partners), researchers, health professionals and decision-makers who are already involved and who want to advance quality of life, research to improve the clinical practices, and treatments for people who live with type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes and risk of hypoglycemia
People living with type 1 diabetes need to inject insulin to control the level of sugar in their blood because their pancreas does not produce insulin. They must adjust the amount of insulin they inject based on the carbohydrate content of the meals; physical activity, alcohol consumption, stress, infections, etc. A consequence of this treatment is a risk of low blood sugar. This is called hypoglycemia.
On a daily basis, people who live with type 1 diabetes, live with the fear of hypoglycemia and are constantly trying to keep their blood sugar levels in balance. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include tremors, palpitations, sweating, hunger, confusion, dizziness and blurred vision. When severe, hypoglycemia can cause loss of consciousness, accidents, injuries, coma and even death.
In mild to moderate hypoglycemia, the person can treat themselves by consuming carbohydrates (sugars). In the case of severe hypoglycemia, the person needs help from someone else to raise their blood sugar.
In most children and adults living with type 1 diabetes, hypoglycemia is common and is the main barrier to adequate diabetes management.


SPATIAL CHANGES AND POPULATION MOVEMENTS ON THE ALBANIAN COASTLINE
Keywords: Change detection, urban growth, coastal erosion, migration, Albanian coastline, CVA, anthropology, multidisciplinary research
Abstract. The last decade has seen a large increase in construction along the southern Albanian coastline, mainly in the rise of large tourist complexes comprising hotels, apartment houses, touristic villages, and so on. These constructions rarely follow urban planning and not only change its landscape but also often threaten the ecological value of the coastal zone. The uncontrolled and devastating construction along the coast has been accompanied by coastal erosion caused by the sea with the intensity up to 50 cm/year. This paper investigates the environmental change monitoring on the Albanian Riviera by analysing optical remote sensing data (Landsat 5 and 8) in the period between 1984 and 2015. The image analysis results grounded on the change vector analysis indicate coastal morphology changes and land cover changes in the coastal environment, which appear mostly due to erosion in river delta and urban growth. Apart from identifying both phenomena through time, the objective of this study is to show that these landscape changes in fact correlate with the population migration as well as to explain why and the extent to which Albania is one of the most migratory countries in Europe. Based on the multidisciplinary research, which combines anthropological method with spatial analysis, this presentation anticipates future changes in this area. It argues that movements of both people and in landscape formations strongly influence each other, constituting a closely corresponding relationship.


The SAGE Handbook of Geographical Knowledge is a critical inquiry into how Geography as a field of knowledge has been produced, re-produced, and re-imagined. It comprises three sections on Geographical Orientations, Geography’s Venues, and Critical Geographical Concepts and Controversies. The first provides an overview of the genealogy of ‘geography.' The second highlights the types of spatial settings and locations in which geographical knowledge has been produced. The third focuses on venues of primary importance in the historical geography of geographical thought.
Time is not a thing. Heidegger 1972: 3 On Time and Being: Martin Heidegger; translated by Joan Stambaugh. New York; London: Harper & Row, 1972.
This chapter addresses how time has been treated in geography and argues the summary answer is too often ‘over-simply’. That is, an overstatement, but this essay will suggest that geography has often used an unsophisticated treatment of time. This may be predictable if one thinks of geography as a ‘spatial’ discipline, with rich debates over the nature of space, place and landscape instead of over time. And yet that seems an inadequate explanation for why:
‘different sorts of time’ have not troubled too many geographers much. There is a wealth of work offering sophisticated analyses of space and spatiality, but to ...


A review on energy, environmental, and sustainability implications of connected and automated vehicles
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are poised to reshape transportation and mobility by replacing humans as the driver and service provider. While the primary stated motivation for vehicle automation is to improve safety and convenience of road mobility, this transformation also provides a valuable opportunity to improve vehicle energy efficiency and reduce emissions in the transportation sector. Progress in vehicle efficiency and functionality, however, does not necessarily translate to net positive environmental outcomes. Here, we examine the interactions between CAV technology and the environment at four levels of increasing complexity: vehicle, transportation system, urban system, and society. We find that environmental impacts come from CAV-facilitated transformations at all four levels, rather than from CAV technology directly. We anticipate net positive environmental impacts at the vehicle, transportation system, and urban system levels, but expect greater vehicle utilization and shifts in travel patterns at the society level to offset some of these benefits. Focusing on the vehicle-level improvements associated with CAV technology is likely to yield excessively optimistic estimates of environmental benefits. Future research and policy efforts should strive to clarify the extent and possible synergetic effects from a systems level to envisage and address concerns regarding the short- and long-term sustainable adoption of CAV technology. © 2018 American Chemical Society.

Technology paves a path to student wellnessTechnology
Although achieving mindfulness and wellness through technological applications may sound contrary, people are looking to their devices as resources to help them deal with the stresses and anxieties they face. College students may not have strategies in place for addressing the emotions and difficulties they encounter. As head of IgnitED Labs, I partnered with Michele Gaines, wellness coach, to present Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College students with a collection of applications aimed at helping them help themselves.
The session was part of a weekly Wellness Wednesday event in the Zen Den. I curated a variety of applications to share with students who may find themselves needing support. Surprisingly, technological applications for wellness are accessible and available. Directing students to a select few that fit their needs should aid them as they look to technology for support.
The online list of resources, titled Live Well with Technology, includes short descriptions and links to the applications. The Be Calm section consists of apps for meditating, being present, and taking time to relax. The apps in the Be Positive list focus on turning negative thoughts into positive thoughts. For students who might struggle with depression Be Ok includes apps that connect people who need to build a network of encouragement. Be Active includes numerous applications related to physical wellness rather than mental health. Options include quick workouts and fun ways for students to get exercise. Be Restful has applications for students having sleep issues like insomnia. The range of resources includes apps for getting to sleep and getting productive rest. Anyone can access this list and try out the choices.
More collaborations between the IgnitED Labs and the Zen Den are on the horizon. The combination of technology and wellness offers interesting ways for students to leverage their devices as they learn to navigate the responsibilities and challenges of college life.

So Jacob is returning to Canaan after spending fourteen years with his father in law Laban.
Jacob sends a messenger ahead of him. Then back comes the messenger, telling Jacob that his brother Esau is coming to meet him with 400 men!
Jacob is terrified. He divides his people and his livestock into two camps, telling himself that, If Esau attacks one camp, the other can escape. He prays to God to save him from the hand of Esau. And he puts aside two hundred goats, twenty sheep and two hundred camels, as well as cows, donkeys and rams. These he sends to Esau as a gift. The animals go ahead, but Jacob takes his family across the Yabbok crossing, then goes back by himself.
That night, Jacob is alone. A man wrestles with him all night, till dawn. (Most scholars identify this man as an angel of God.) The man touches his thigh, which had been dislocated. To this day, Jews who keep kosher do not eat that sinew on the thigh of an animal.
When dawn comes, Jacob says to the man: “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
So the man tells him that his name will no longer be Jacob (Heel Sneak) but he will be called Yisrael (God Fighter.)
Jacob lifts up his eyes and sees Esau coming. Jacob arranges his concubines, his wives and his children behind him.
But guess what! Esau runs to Jacob and hugs him and kisses him and they both cry.
Esau meets Jacob’s family, and insists that he doesn’t need all the animals Jacob sent. Nevertheless, Jacob insists.
Esau goes right back to Se’ir, where he started from, but Jacob stays and builds himself a house in Sukkot. And he buys some land in Shekhem and builds an altar there.
Food for Thought
Why did God send an angel to wrestle with Jacob?


Social Networks: Are They a Valuable Educational Tool?
We've all been hearing the hoopla over social networks -- MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, and so on. Students are online sharing some great things: poetry, original artwork, blogs, stories, journals, and more. Some of them are sharing things that aren't so great, such as personal information, and are toying around with the semi-anonymity of the Internet and not making the best judgments about social conduct online.
The social networks are hugely popular for ages 16-35 (and those below and above as well). MySpace claims sixty-one million registered users; that's a lot of socializing going on. So, what's all the fuss about?
I've been spending some time in high schools lately, chatting with kids about what they do online, what they're finding, what draws them online, and so on. (One ninth-grade girl said, "There's not really an avenue at school for me to publish and share work, and I really love writing." That struck a chord with me -- no place at school to share one's love of writing?) In most cases, being the digitally wired people they are, the social-network sites are just a twenty-first-century place for them to hang out. Many students I spoke with are well aware of the potentially seedier side of socializing online, and most appear to be savvy in navigating those waters.
There's a push now, however, to use federal policy to step in and help protect students from social-networking sites by banning access to them in schools and libraries that receive federal funding. New legislation, the Defeating Online Predators Act, would do just that if passed. (Download a PDF version of the proposed legislation.)
I'd be curious to hear from readers:
- Do you see these online social sites as having educational value?
- Do you allow/use them with students?
- What are your thoughts on the proposed federal legislation banning access to them in schools?


Street-involved youth and youth experiencing homelessness in Canada are disproportionately likely to be Indigenous: while the Canadian census estimates about 6% of youth in Canada are Indigenous, previous multi-city surveys of street-involved youth and youth experiencing homelessness in Western Canada have found more than half identify as Aboriginal, First Nations, Inuit or Métis.
The authors’ overall purpose is to contribute to the limited existing research about LGBTQ2S Indigenous youth who are experiencing homelessness in Canada, based on their research in Western Canada. What are the specific challenges faced by youth experiencing homelessness who are both Indigenous and LGBTQ2S? What resilience factors help them cope despite these challenges? What resources do they access, how helpful are these supports, and what recommendations do young people offer for how services can be more supportive? This chapter will examine the limited existing research, and then expand that knowledge by drawing on data from the 2014 BC Homeless and Street-Involved Youth (HSIY) Survey to answer those questions. The authors will incorporate recommendations young people made, and consider how these findings fit within the relevant recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, although they note, as others have, that none of the recommendations specifically mention Two-Spirit people.

Nandor Brenner Viday, Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1903, date of death possibly 1944. He was a painter and graphic artist who studied initially at the School of Arts between 1918-21 with Master Eugene Jeno Haranghy, then at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts between 1923-25 with Master Oszkar Glatz, then Academie Julian in Paris.
He began exhibiting his work in 1920 and attracted immediate attention. In 1925 he won Hungary’s Benczur Prize, in 1926 he won a Gold Medal in the Hungarian National Exhibition for a religiously-themed work in a Baroque-style copperplate engraving, followed with the Ferencz Jozsef Prize in 1928.
In 1930 he exhibited at the Ernst Museum, in 1937 at the Salon of the Studio he was a member of the Munkacsy Ceh and Szinyei Merse Art Groups.
His paintings reflect the influence of both naturalism and expressive elements and he participated in major exhibitions throughout, Hungary, Europe and the U.S. Known for his Jewish genre scenes, Chess scenes and other early 20th Century salon style paintings. In the tradition of Moritz Oppenheim, Isidor Kauffman and Maurycy Gottlieb and later of Tully Filmus and Itshak Holtz he captures his Jewish interior scenes with a particular sensitivity.
The Inferno – Part 1 of 2, Nandor Viday Brenner (Hungarian 1903)
Inferno (Italian for “Hell”) is the first part of Dante Alighieri’s 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. It is an allegory telling of the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth. Allegorically, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul towards God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin.


Every time one of us flashes an Arduino’s internal memory, a nagging thought in the backs of our minds reminds us that, although everything in life is impermanent, nonvolatile re-writable memory is even more temporary. With a fixed number of writes until any EEPROM module fails, are we wasting writes every time we upload code with a mistake? The short answer is that most of us shouldn’t really be concerned with this unless we do what [AnotherMaker] has done and continually write data until the memory in an Arduino finally fails.
The software for this is fairly simple. He simply writes the first 256
ints with all zeros, reads them to make sure they are all there, and then repeats the process with ones. After iterating this for literally millions of times continuously over the course of about a month he was finally able to get his first read failure. Further writes past this point only accelerated the demise of the memory module. With this method he was able to get nearly three million writes before the device failed, which is far beyond the tens or hundreds of thousands typically estimated for a device of this type.
To prove this wasn’t an outlier, [AnotherMaker] repeated the test, and did a few others while writing to a much smaller amount of memory. With this he was able to push the number of cycles to over five million. Assuming the Arduino Nano clone isn’t using an amazingly high-quality EEPROM we can safely assume that most of us have nothing to worry about and our Arduinos will be functional for decades to come. Unless a bad Windows driver accidentally bricks your device.

A: The new variants don’t defy the laws of physics and are transmitted the same way as all the other variants of SARS-CoV-2, so you can reduce risk by using your #SMARTS.
We NEVER thought when we made this infographic in Summer 2020 together with Impact (updated in 2021 with “SHOTS”) that these basic principles would be so evergreen. But with SARS-CoV-2 here to stay as a part of our infectious disease landscape, these basic prevention tools continue to help reduce risk.
Recall, the biggest risk for transmission in the presence of an infected person is SHARING AIR with someone, breathing the air that they exhale. The exhaled breath contains particles most concentrated close to the person breathing or speaking (picture your breath outside on a cold day).
❇ SPACE & MASKS can minimize your breathing in the exhaled breath of others. The virus is carried by particles of mucus and saliva, so the distance these can travel is not changed by the new variant, nor is their ability to physically penetrate a mask.
And we know, staying 6 feet away from anyone outside of your household is no longer a realistic ask for many, but the idea of SPACE reducing airborne risk still holds!)
❇ AIR: While outside is best, remember that OUTSIDE IS NOT MAGIC if you are in close contact, especially without a mask. You can still breathe in that person’s breath.
Indoors, ventilation (meaning introducing outside air) is key. This outside air dilutes any virus in the air, pushes it outdoors, and stops it from accumulating indoors. HVAC systems can be set to bring in maximal outside air, but it’s also as easy as OPENING DOORS & WINDOWS.
❇ RESTRICT: Fewer people in a room also limits the concentration of exhaled breath in the room.
❇ TIME: Shorter interactions with potentially infectious people is safer.
❇ SHOTS: If you are eligible, get a booster dose now (or a first or second shot, of course–it’s never too late!).
💥 Remember the trusty Swiss Cheese model—even lots of small measures with holes stacked together can add up to big protection.

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”
The term “cancer” has its etymology in Greek. “Cancer” means “crab” in Greek. A 4th century BC Greek philosopher, Hippocrates, concluded the name after he examined organs affected by the disease. By cutting an organ with a cancerous growth into half, he found the shape of the tumour to be oval. The cancerous tumour could be seen invading the organ in a pattern resembling the legs of a crab extending out from the body.
While cancer is an ancient disease that has existed throughout history, it is becoming more common in recent times.
Every one in three people within his or her lifetime, in a developed society such as Singapore, will develop cancer. There exists a common myth that people are born with dormant cancer cells in their bodies, waiting to someday activate. People are not born with cancer cells in the body. This transformation occurs later in life.Although reducing the probability of cancer significantly there is, unfortunately, no guarantee of never developing or developing cancer-based on one’s lifestyle or family history.
Although reducing the probability of getting cancer can be reduced significantly, there is unfortunately, no guarantee of not developing or developing cancer, based on one’s lifestyle or family history.
Once cancer has been diagnosed, a customised treatment plan will be designed for you – depending on the type and stage of cancer.


The average temperature of our planet is rising, with the majority of the temperature increase occurring in the last thirty years. During the three decades from 1980 to 2011, the number of violent storms, floods, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, as tabulated by the reinsurance company Munich Re, has increased more than three-fold. They also estimate that the financial losses follow a trend line that has gone from $40 billion to $170 billion dollars per year. Most of those losses were not insured, and the country suffering the largest losses by far is the United States. As the President said in his recent Inaugural Address, some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms.
The overwhelming scientific consensus is that human activity has had a significant and likely dominant role in climate change. There is also increasingly compelling evidence that the weather changes we have witnessed during this thirty year time period are due to climate change.
Virtually all of the other OECD countries, and most developing countries including China, India, Mexico, and Brazil have accepted the judgment of climate scientists.
China now exceeds the U.S. in internal deployment of clean energy and in government investments to further develop the technologies.
the risks we run if we dont change our course are enormous. Prudent risk management does not equate uncertainty with inaction .
The cost of renewable energy is rapidly becoming competitive with other sources of energy, and the Department has played a significant role in accelerating the transition to affordable, accessible and sustainable energy.
Ultimately we have a moral responsibility to the most innocent victims of adverse climate change. Those who will suffer the most are the people who are the most innocent: the worlds poorest citizens and those yet to be born. There is an ancient Native American saying: We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. A few short decades later, we dont want our children to ask, What were our parents thinking? Didnt they care about us?


Discourse and Defiance under Nazi Occupation Guernsey, Channel Islands, 1940–1945
Captured by German forces shortly after Dunkirk, and not relinquished until May of 1945, nearly a year after the Normandy invasion, the British Channel Islands (Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark, and Herm) were characterised during their occupation by severe deprivation and powerlessness.
The Islanders, with few resources to stage an armed resistance, constructed a rhetorical resistance based upon the manipulation of discourse, construction of new symbols, and defiance of German restrictions on information. Though much of modern history has focused on the possibility that Islanders may have collaborated with the Germans, this eye-opening history turns to secret war diaries kept in Guernsey.
A close reading of these private accounts, written at great risk to the diarists, allows those who actually experienced the Occupation to reclaim their voice and reveals new understandings of Island resistance. What emerges is a stirring account of the unquenchable spirit and deft improvisation of otherwise ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
Under the most dangerous of conditions, Guernsey civilians used imaginative methods in reacting to their position as a subjugated population, devising a covert resistance of nuance and sustainability. Violence, this book and the people of Guernsey demonstrate, is not at all the only means with which to confront evil.


How to Copy & Paste in Linux Terminal
If you are new to the Linux Operating System, you might be thinking copy & paste is the same as on Windows. To Copy & Paste in Linux, the Ctrl + C option for copying and Ctrl + V for pasting won’t work since Ctrl+C keybinding is used for sending an interrupt signal to the command running in the foreground. This usually stops the running command.
So, now the big question. How do you copy & paste in Linux Terminal? The answer to this question is simple and we will be telling you here in the subsequent paragraphs.
Copy & Paste in Linux Terminal
There is no default universal method for copying and pasting in the Linux Terminal. The metjod one uses will all depend on the ease he or she sees in using the method.
That said, below we have some of the common ways people copy & paste in Linux Terminal:
Copy & paste in Linux Terminal Using keyboard shortcuts
For those who are versed with using keyboard shortcuts, this is the ideel method for copying and pasting.
While in the Linux Terminal, you can use;
- Ctrl+Shift+C for copying
- Ctrl+Shift+V or Shift+Insert for pasting
One of the most common ways many a versed with when it comes to copying and pasting is by using the mouse right-click. This method works even in the Windows CMD and the Linux Terminal is no exception.
With this method as usual, you need to select the content from the Linux terminal then right-click and copy. To paste, you simply right-click in the terminal and you will see the option to paste.


More than half a million people could die by 2050 as a result of climate change’s impact on global diets.
Researchers from Oxford University’s Oxford Martin Future of Food Program modeled the effects of climate change on the global food supply, and how those changes will impact health and mortality around the world. The results—the first attempt to quantify how climate change could wreak havoc not just in natural disasters and the spread of disease, but also in global diets—were published in British medical journal The Lancet on Wednesday.
The researchers found that global warming could cut the project improvement in food availability by one-third, reducing per-person food availability by about 100 calories a day. Thanks to climate change, fruit, and vegetable intake could be reduced by 4% per person.
The bulk of the predicted 529,000 extra deaths due to food availability in 2050 would be felt in South and East Asia, especially, the researchers found. They predicted that nearly three-quarters of all climate change-related deaths due to food supply changes would occur in India and China.
“We looked at the health effects of changes in agricultural production that are likely to result from climate change and found that even modest reductions in the availability of food per person could lead to changes in the energy content and composition of diets, and these changes will have major consequences for health,” lead author Marco Springmann said in an Oxford press release.

The Unknown Rules of the English Language
“No. Crème brûlée can never be Jell-O. YOU could never be Jell-O!” As Julia Roberts perfectly explains to Cameron Diaz in My Best Friends Wedding. Sometimes people want things to be different than they really are, but despite these good intentions, sometimes you just have to accept that crème brûlée will never be Jell-O.
So… I have a really silly pet peeve. And it has to do with something trying to be Jell-O when it clearly isn’t Jell-O. I hate when people say that “ghoti” can be pronounced “fish.” It drives me crazy. Because… it can’t. I’m pretty sure it’s just suppose to be a riddle-ish kind of joke, but I don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s annoying… just like I find riddles to be annoying. Because: “Ghoti” could never be pronounced “fish!” Sure, the people who say this is so have this grand explanation:
- “gh” as in enough
- “o” as in women
- “ti” as in nation
But what these people fail to acknowledge is that those sounds only make those sounds based on the surrounding sounds and their position in those words. The proof is in the following bit of pudding (or should I say, Jell-O?):
