This criterion assesses the extent to which the student establishes the scientific context for the work, states a clear and focused research question and uses concepts and techniques appropriate to the Diploma Programme level to design an investigation. Where appropriate, this criterion also assesses awareness of safety, environmental, and ethical considerations.
The research questions is clearly stated and precisely formulated.
Research question includes clear MV and RV.
Research question includes scientific name of organism, if relevant (Genus species).
The research question can be used to formulate a hypothesis predicting the relationship between the MV and DV.
Hypothesis explanation is scientifically accurate (with correctly cited sources).
There should be a single sentence which clearly and specifically states the objective of the investigation (click here to see an example research question). Students must do some thinking to recognize the nature of the problem that has been set, the factors (variables) that will affect the outcome, and how they affect it (the hypothesis). Make sure you select a research question that can be measured using the time, materials and techniques available to you at school!
The research question must clearly identify the manipulated and responding variables of the investigation (click here to see an example of variables).
If you are using any living organisms, or products from living organisms, such as seeds from a certain plant, give the most precise name you can and give the scientific name if possible (e.g. Phaseolus vulgaris for kidney beans).
Although not required by the IB Organization, for many investigations it is appropriate for students to include a hypothesis. A hypothesis is like a prediction. It will often take the form of a proposed relationship between two or more variables that can be tested by experiment: "If X is done, then Y will occur." Also provide an explanation for the hypothesis. This should be a brief discussion (paragraph form) about the theory or 'why' behind the hypothesis and prediction. Be sure the hypothesis is related directly to the research question and that the manipulated and responding variables for the experiment are clear. Click here to see an example hypothesis.
The background sets the research question into context.
Appropriate and relevant background biology correctly described and explained.
Citations relevant to the research question are used.
Background information is used to form a hypothesis.
Null and alternative hypothesis given if a statistical test of significance is used.
If relevant, a predicted graph is used to illustrate the hypothesis.
Write a paragraph or two explaining why the experiment is appropriate and relevant to the study of biology. How does it relate to what is being learned in class? What process or phenomenon will the experiment support? Click here to see an example background paragraph.
MV correctly identified with units and levels, including how the levels were chosen.
Minimum of five levels of MV over a suitable range (unless comparing populations or correlating variables without manipulation).
RV (as directly recorded and/or calculated) correctly identified with units.
Important CV identified, with the potential impact of each discussed. Validity measures and/or control group are not misunderstood as CV.
List or photo of apparatus and materials including size, graduation and uncertainty.
Reference to preliminary trials, if completed.
Method to change and measure MV fully detailed (including tools, units and uncertainty).
Sufficient repeats of RV measurement to ensure reliability and allow for statistics (5 for SD, 10 for T-test, 20+for correlation).
Collection of data from other students or sources is explained and referenced.
If sampling only a portion of a population, include the method for ensuring the sample was randomly selected.
Full citation of a published protocol (or elements of), if used.
Consider making a list of materials needed (click here to see an example). Be as specific as possible (example: "50 mL beaker instead of 'beaker', type of microscope with magnification range). A diagram or photograph of how the experiment is set up may be appropriate. Be sure the diagram includes a title and any necessary labels. You might have to decide how much of a substance or a solution to use. If so, state your reasoning or show the calculations.
State or discuss the method (procedure) that was used in the experiment (click here to see an example). This can be in the form of a list of step-by-step directions or a narrative. Provide enough detail so that another person could repeat your work by reading the report! You don't have to go into detail about standard, well-understood actions such as measuring a temperature with a thermometer, weighing out a substance, etc. If a standard technique is used, it should be referenced. For example, while planning an investigation to study the effect of light wavelength on the rate of photosynthesis in Cabomba, the student may have adapted a method to measure the rate of photosynthesis taken from a textbook. A standard reference would then be expected as a footnote, for example, "Freeland, PW (1985) Problems in Practical Advanced Level Biology, Hodder and Stoughton." Or the student may adapt a general protocol provided by a teacher in a previous investigation. The reference may appear as: von Bargen, G (2017) "Studying the rate of photosynthesis" worksheet.
In the method, clearly state how to collect data. What measuring device was used, what data was recorded and when? Or what qualitative observations were looked for (such as color change)?
The procedure must allow collection of sufficient relevant data. The planned investigation should anticipate the collection of sufficient data so that the aim or research question can be suitably addressed and an evaluation of the reliability of the data can be made. As a rule, the lower limit is five measurements, or a sample size of five. Very small samples run from 5 to 20, small samples run from 20 to 30, and big samples run from 30 upwards. Obviously, this will vary within the limits of the time available for an investigation.
The data range and amount of data in that range are also important. For example, when trying to determine the optimum pH of an enzyme, using a range of pH values between 6 and 8 would be insufficient. Using a range of values between 3 and 10 would be better, but would also be insufficient if only three different pH values were tested in that range.
If you are using a known experimental protocol, you must explain how you modified the standard method to make it your own.
Safety issues fully considered (including human consent forms if needed).
Ethical issues fully considered (including animal experimentation policy if needed).
Environmental issues fully considered (such as reduction of waste and disposal of chemicals).
List any safety precautions that must be taken during the lab, including personal and environmental concerns.

training of afghan police in the wake of attacks on their police. and customs enforcement director has resigned amid allegations of lewd behavior towards employees. >> and what has to happen before smart trip kiosks can be turned on and the changes to metro's smart trip cards, when we come back.
. making headlines this morning, u.s. officials have halted the training of afghan local police for at least a month. the move was made in order to carry out intensified vetting on new recruits and this is following a string of attacks by afghan soldiers and police on their international allies. u.s. special forces will be reexamining any potential ties to insurgents. a senior appointee in the obama administration has resigned after allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. suzanne barr is the chief of
staff to the director of the department of immigration and custom enforcement, otherwise known as ice. that falls under the banner of homeland security. barr is accused of behaving inappropriately toward three employees, but the exact nature of the behavior has not been made clear. well, changes are coming to metro's smart trip cards. they went into effect this weekend, but there's one change that didn't happen, involving new machines that sell the cards. they are in place, but still wrapped in plastic. john hanrahan is monitoring metro. >> reporter: metro is a pioneer in implementing electronic fare cards, costing metro less to maintain than paper-based cards. the paper fare cards primarily used by tourists are still available, but paper users pay a whopping $1 surcharge for every train trip. metro buses are also cheaper when smart trip cards are used to pay. earlier this year, metro estimated more than 80% of bus
users pay with smart trip cards and nearly 90% of rail riders also use smart trip payments. as of september 1st, most smart trip cards will need a minimum of $1.20 for customers to enter the system. if users register their smart trip cards online, metro will put a $3 credit into their account. that makes the effective price of a smart trip card only $2. metro had also promised to expand the dispensing machines for smart trip cards to all 86 of its stations. well, the new machines are in, but they are wrapped in plastic and not operational, unlike the existing machines which have braille on their surfaces for instructions for the blind, the new machines have no braille and no audio component. metro spokeswoman caroline lucas told us by phone the transit managers have made an internal decision to keep the new distribution machines turned off until they are fully compliant
with the americans with disabilities act. some metro customers question that decision. >> metro has a lot of problems. why not make something a little easier for the public? >> you say turn on the machines? >> turn on the machines now. turn on the machines now and make it widely publicized when the other features are added. >> reporter: although metro promises to have working smart trip distribution machines at every station, you may not find them at every entrance to every station. >> this is the jennifer street side of the friendship heights station on the red line. and on this side of the station, no dispensing machine for smart trip cards. >> reporter: metro managers say the new machines that are in place should be retrofitted with braille and audio and therefore turned on sometime in the next two months. john hanrahan, fox 5 news. a high speed rail sprojt one step closer to reality in virginia. federal state officials have issued a final environmental impact statement for routes
connecting hampton roads area to richmond and the southeast high speed rail corridor. the route would be from norfolk through petersburg to richmond. the project would maintain amtrak's current service from newport news through williamsburg to richmond. well, work to install new smart meters in dc taxi cabs is being put on hold. dc's contract appeals board has issued a stop order because work to install the meters began before a disapproval order had been settled on the project. ward 8 council member marion berry filed the complaint, saying it is not in the district's favor. the appeals board says installation now must be put on hold until the protest is resolved. well, coming up, a song writer who helped pen a slew of mega hits has passed away. >> and at the movies this weekend, long lost enemies are now business partners and roommates. [ indescernible ]
. >> the new comedy at the theater, "for a good time, call." we sit down with kevin mccarthy. ñ
. in the buzz bin this morning, a famed song writer has passed away. hal david died from complications from a stroke in los angeles. you may not know him by his face, but he cowrote a slew of songs with burt bacharach. they received the gershwin prize from the library of congress
earlier this moving into the ap. you do it as necessity as opposed to wanting to do it. was there ever a role in your career you took out of necessity as opposed to wanting to take it? >> oh, gosh, no. i'm just at such a point now
where i'm just starting out and i'm excited and i've been hungry enough, that i've been lucky that i haven't gotten anything that has been really scary or not fun to do. at this point, no. we'll see moving forward. i should be so lucky to have something that scares me. >> when you guys do the actual commercial scene and justin long is directing, i love that scene so much. if you could have a famous director direct that commercial, what would it look like? and who would be the best to do it? >> that is interesting. well, god, why wouldn't we go for, like, stephen spielberg and the bubbles would be really big, maybe et would come out from the bottom and he would be touching our noses with his finger? let's go crazy! >> so is this new raunchy comedy worth the price of admission? here's kevin's review. >> reporter: this particular film deals with two girls who hated each other in college. they become roommates out of necessity. one of them is operating a phone sex line out of her apartment. lauren miller, the girl who moves in, joins her and they
create this business. they are making thousands upon thousands of dollars a week and obviously drama and hi later ensues. what makes this movie so good is that formula of having a raunchy movie at the same time of having a sweet film. you care for the characters, witty, fun, engaging. justin long is absolutely hilarious in the movie. but it's a movie you watch and the cameo performances, the guys who call in to the line, you'll see famous faces. one particular director, which i won't say who he is, he's a director. it's a movie that you go in and have a great time watching, no pun intended. >> kevin gave "for a good time, call" four stars out of five. . the democratic national convention kicks off in charlotte this week. fox news sunday gives a sneak peek and sits down with a top obama campaign advisor and the chairman of the convention.
we'll have a preview with host chris wallace when we return. and final preps are under way for tonight's labor day concert on the u.s. capitol west lawn. glenn will be back with a look at your holiday weekend weather. stay with us. fox news sunday will return.
. mr. chairman and delegates, i accept your nomination for president of the united states! [ cheers & applause ] now is the moment where we can stand up and say, i'm an american, i make my destiny, we deserve better, my children deserve better, my family deserves better, my country deserves better! [ cheers & applause ] >> mitt romney makes his case to the american public, as he formally accepts the gop nomination for president. now that the republican convention is over, the attention turns, of course, to the democrats. their convention kicks off in charlotte, north carolinaon tuesday. chris wallace is the host of fox news sunday and joins us live from charlotte with a preview of today's program. good morning once again, chris.
>> reporter: good morning, melanie. >> so give me your rating of now that the republican convention is over. how would you rate it? two stars, three stars, four stars, more? >> as we're talking, they are playing music and testing the sound system here, but i did hear you. i thought it was a successful convention. they didn't have a lot they had to do. i think the two things that were most interesting is, one, that romney needed to show he was a credible alternative, that if you're not -- if you're fed up or you're thinking of switching from obama, that he would be, you know, a reasonable person to have as your president, to have, you know, on the tv show that is watching the presidency over four years in your home. and i think he passed that test. the other thing that was very interesting, and you heard a little bit about it in the clip that you just played, they went after obama in a very delicate way. they didn't just try to rip his skin off, but rather, to say, because they feel there are a lot of people who were obama
voters in 2008 who were disappointed with him. and so they said, look, we were all excited about him, it hasn't worked out and it's time to make a switch, as mitt romney said, we deserve better. but it's a much more subtle way of going after him than just to say he stinks. >> okay, and so what do we expect from the democrats this week? >> well, i think they have a couple of things they have got to do. one, they have got to say that, because obviously the obama record is disappointing on the economy, they have got to say he hasn't failed, it's just that he hasn't had enough time. then they have to -- and i think in a much less delicate way, really go after romney. i think the main point, you know, their slogan is forward, and i think you'll hear a lot of talk about backward, that romney will take us back, back to the bush years, even further back. it was interesting on the campaign trail yesterday, the president was talking about, you know, as i was listening to the
republican convention, looked like they were talking about the fifties, almost black & white television, could have had a couple of rabbit ears on top of the television. i think they are going to say he wants to take us, wants to take women, wants to take gays, wants to take america back, u know, and we've solved a lot of these problems and moved on. >> so chris, earlier in the show we played a clip from debbie wasserman schultz and she was saying the selection of charlotte, north carolina for the democrats was no accident. how important do you think that's going to be to the democrats? >> north carolina? >> yeah. >> i think it isn't working out so well. generally speaking, parties hold conventions in states that, swing states that they want to win. republicans held it in florida. at this point, at least, they are trailing in florida. democrats held it in north carolina, a big surprise, because north carolina hadn't gone to a republican since i think 1976, jimmy carter. and right at this point, they are trailing in north carolina.
so it is possible that they will each hold a convention in a swing state. they were hoping to swing their way and they will lose those swing states. we'll see. >> i can't wait to see how it plays out. chris, thanks for your time this morning. we appreciate it. >> let me say quickly, we'll have david axelrod, chief strategist for the campaign. also the mayor of los angeles, antonio villary goessa, prominent role is no accident. >> thanks, chris. we appreciate your time. have a good time in charlotte. >> thanks, melanie. another look now from the national mall, if we can. the annual labor day concert on the west lawn at the capitol will begin at 8:00 p.m. tonight. big question, will the weather agree? gwen, you're the person! >> the pressure is on for this holiday weekend. mother nature, not so great to us this holiday weekend. we've got the threat of showers
and storms lingering over. >> right. >> today could be a day where the showers become more widespread than they were yesterday. we got a lot of storms last evening. let's take a look at radar and show you what's happening. this is our fox 5 accuweather. we've got a frontal system, the trigger of showers and storms along and ahead of it, gradually moving to the south. as we go to our weather maps, you can see some of the rain totals we had yesterday from that. look at this, more than an inch and a half at reagan national airport, just a trace at dulles, 0.32 at bwi. the morning is starting out not quite as mild as yesterday. 8 to 11 degrees above the seasonal average, 95 degrees at national yesterday. current temperatures now, into the mid to upper 70s pretty much everywhere. for today, we are talking a chance of showers and storms. so definitely keep our eyes to the skies for anyone going out there today, really keep the umbrella handy and be cognizant we could see a thunderstorm
popping up. >> all right. we'll make sure we pay attention. and there's always the fox 5 weather app you can check as well. this is not what you expect to find when you're hitting the beach in southern florida. more than 20 pilot whales beached themselves this holiday weekend, setting off a frenzy to save them. we'll tell you how it turned out, when we return. how does it feel to try smooth, delicious hershey's chocololate with 30% less fat? new hershey's simple pleasures chocolate. 30% less fat, 100% delicious.
but what choices will women be left with? just like mitt romney, paul ryan would get rid of planned parenthood funding. in congress, ryan voted to ban all federal funding for planned parenthood and allow employers to deny women access to cancer screenings and birth control. and both romney and ryan backed proposals to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest. for women... for president... the choice is ours. i'm barack obama, and i approve this message.
. shocking scene for beach goers in florida this weekend. more than 20 pilot whales came ashore, triggering a day-long effort to save them. some even looking for a little fun in the sun jumped in and volunteered. ricky clause has the story. >> reporter: it seemed like an endless march for volunteers as they tried to save the whales. >> couldn't get enough water. >> reporter: hundreds of volunteers came out to pour water in hopes the 22 pilot whales that washed ashore in fort pierce would live. >> it's terrible, very
frustrating and sad. >> reporter: among the group of volunteers at avalon beach with this husband and wife team. missy is passionate about marine mammals and has rescued beach pilot whales before in the keys. the couple got to work on the whales when they were found trapped along the beaches. >> they were getting crushed by the waves, blow holes covered with water, literally drowning because whales are mammals, need oxygen to survive. >> reporter: each mammal expert took five of the smallest whales for treatment at research and conservation. those whales were said to be the most likely to recover. people who had never seen a whale in the wild helped get the mammals to safety. >> i helped carry one of the last whales to the ambulance. they took him to harbor branch. >> that was ricky clause reporting. we just got word only five of those whales did survive. meanwhile, the unofficial end to summer is just about here and so is the democratic national convention. mary anne rafferty has a look at
the stories expected to make headlines in the week ahead. >> reporter: sunday, president obama continues his road to charlotte tour with a grassroots event at the university of colorado in boulder. on monday, enjoy your day off as the united states observes labor day. the first monday of every september, we celebrate the economic and social contributions of american workers. also on labor day, the president heads to ohio with a pair of campaign events, one in toledo, the other in cleveland. tuesday, the democratic national convention begins in charlotte, north carolina, featuring speakers by first lady michelle obama and san antonio mayor castro, who will serve as the keynote speaker. wednesday, it's time for football. the nfl season kicks off as defending super bowl champs host the dallas cowboys. if you're not into the game, catch former president bill clinton speaking at the dnc. thursday, massachusetts residents head to the polls for state primaries. voters will pick between a handful of candidates to determine who will face-off against each other in november to replace congressman barney
frank. also thursday, it's the last night of the dnc, with speeches by vice president joe biden and president obama. saturday, the london 2012 paralympic games comes to an end with closing ceremonies taking place on sunday. and that's a look at the week ahead. i'm mary anne rafferty, fox news. . . well, the preseason is over. the final cuts have been made. now comes the real deal. robert griffin iii and the redskins gear up for the season opener against the saints. rocky parrish is here to break it down, coming up in sports. gwen? >> mother nature may not be into the holiday weekend as much as everyone else is, because she is giving up the chance of showers and storms throughout portions of the day. i'll have the details on what you can expect, right after the break. stay with us. [ mom ] dear chex cereal,
i've never writttten a fan letter before, but you've done the impossible. you made gluten free cereals in a whole bunch of yummy flavors. cinnamon chex and honey nut chex are two of our favorites. when my husband found the chocolate one,
we were in cereal heaven. the only problem is, with so many great flavors, you're making it very hard to choose. your fans, the mcgregor family. 'cause we love chex. ♪ [ male announcer ] and now try new gluten free apple cinnamon chex.
. some of the top stories we're following this morning, police in laurel, maryland are on the hunt for a gunman who shot a gas station clerk in
maryland. officers say the man walked into the exxon in sandy spring around 8:00 last night and demanded money. the cashier refused to and that over and was shot. injuries are nonlife threatening. and the end of summer. the weather for the labor day is on our mind. >> parts of our area were and you severe thunderstorm warning for a time last night, and today, pretty much the same scenario, widespread rainfall. let's take a look outside first, where people are getting ready for concerts. it's going to start tonight at 8:00 on the west lawn of the capitol building for the labor day celebrations. actually, gates open at 3:00, but i want to tell you, you definitely want to keep your eyes to the skies with this today, because there are chances of seeing rain showers and storms. and i understand if that does happen, they will move the concert indoors to the kennedy center. that's at least some good news for everyone to still enjoy the
celebration. so we begin with a look at weather headlines. unsettled holiday weekend. mother nature, not dealing us a lot of sunshine. more showers and storms in my forecast, as we move through into tonigh tomorrow. and temperatures are going to be close to seasonal and the end of next week, that's when we're talking about getting back to drier and sunny conditions. so as we take a look, here's what we hit yesterday. temperatures from 8 to 11 degrees above the seasonal average. 95 degrees at reagan national airport, 92 at dulles, 93 at bwi thurgood marshall. temperatures now, starting out mild this morning. 79 at fredericksburg, 73 at winchester, 71 at martinsburg, 76 at dc, 74 ballot, and 77 degrees at annapolis. fairly mild. but a lot of humidity in the course of yesterday. we had rain that hit as a result of a frontal system. look at these numbers. over an inch and a half at national airport, just a trace at dulles, 0.32 at bwi marshall. let's take a look at radar and show you what's going on.
we've got this frontal system that's a major player for us. it's going to gradually sink its way to the south and as it does, we're going to see storms and showers develop along and ahead of it. that was the same story yesterday. let's go back to our weather maps, because we've got widespread rainfall to talk about. if you look out here towards areas of the west, this is actually the remnants of isaac. that is going to push its way towards us as well and interact with that frontal system and set us up for lots of widespread tropical moisture. before the weekend is said and done, we anticipate up to 2 inches of rainfall by the time we get into monday. not a lot of changes here. we've got tropical storm lesley pushing its way through, expecting to become a category 1 hurricane as it moves its way a little closer towards bermuda. i don't see much happening for the u.s. coast right now with it, but we will definitely keep an eye on it. heading to the beaches? ocean city, chance of showers and storms there as well. temperatures from 79 to 81 degrees. so as we take a look for today, our forecast, 85 degrees high
today. it's going to be humid, chance of storms. same story for tonight. storms are in my forecast. here's your fox 5 accuweather seven-day forecast. a chance of storms every single day up to thursday. very unsettled. friday, at least we start to get back to drier conditions and the same for saturday with a bit of sunshine for you. let's check back in with melanie now. . >> thank you, gwen. in sports, the nats trailing 8-7 in the 6th against the cardinals. catcher molina throws the ball to second, getting caught in a rundown. but bryce harper surprises the cards and heads home from third to score, but the lead wouldn't hold. st. louis adds 2 in the 9th to win 10-9. teams go back at it this afternoon. orioles blew a chance to get within one place of the leaders. new york takes the lead in the 7th and goes on to win 4-3. o's are 3 games back in the al
east. college football is here. the university of maryland kicked things off against william & mary. the game's only touchdown came here, not a lot of scoring. maryland wins 7-6. terps travel to philly next week to face temple. navy kicked often season in dublin, ireland against notre dame in the emerald isle classic. lot of hype, but it would be a blowout. fighting irish light it up and go on to win 50-10. virginia played host to richmond and that wouldn't be close either. bad snap and subsequent safety, some of the mistakes made by richmond. virginia goes on to win this one 43-19. in other football news, howard also won over morehouse, 30-29. . well, the redskins ended the preseason on a high note, i suppose. that's a pretty good win over the buccaneers, 30-3 this week.
for the most part, the game featured, rocky, a lot of backups looking to make a final impression. real deal on, rocky parrish on, kevin & rock show. we've been talking preseason. now we get to gear up-- >> everything is real at this point. cuts have been made. redskins had their 53-man party last night to bring everyone in, somebody's got to get cut, with moves coming up this week. now the fans can legitimately say let's prepare for the season. >> okay. so we talked a little bit last week about chris cooley. and for some people, that was a surprise. for some, it wasn't. >> for me, it actually was. i've actually been a proponent of letting chris go for about three years now and everyone's, like, you can't let the guy go. he's been too great for the community. but his production hasn't been there. i'm for the team on the front. i happen to be a redskins fan and, you know, no one gets let go from their jobs ceremoniously. i think the redskins gave chris every opportunity to make the
team and then just realized maybe we can shop him elsewhere. and they couldn't even get a draft pick for him and they got a 05th round for barns. >> so who is left on the starting lineup? who will we be seeing? >> brandon bates made it, kind of a surprise, 50/50 within the community. but, you know, you have paul who has to step up. curt cousins, obviously a keeper. anthony armstrong did not make the team, but did get re-signed by miami. and that was not a surprise, because they tried to make a trade for him. so i think you're still going to have the solid core from last year, but obviously we'll have rg-iii at the helm, good for a couple of games. >> i found it interesting only about 17 members of the 2012 squad, when shanahan first started, are there this year. shanahan is saying that this is what he said, he's got a more talented, deeper and more athletic team. do you agree or disagree? >> i agree. lot of people want to criticize shanahan about everything they do.
he's improved this team year after year after year -- or year after year. he's upgraded the quarterback position, which we needed. they upgraded the d-back position this year. and the line, we've yet to be seen. we do want progress. lot of people say we just want the team to be competitive. well, they get blown out, still not a good thing f they are close and still lose, not a good thing. we want to see them get in the playoffs at some point. >> but at some point, people get a little tired of hearing we're rebuilding. >> well, actually this is the thirty -- i don't know if they really came out and said we're rebuilding, but they know that's the path we've always taken. there's always been hopes in washington, dc area. and this year was probably the greatest hope we've ever been sold in rg-iii. >> right. if you look at history and the stats, rookie quarterbacks, no one's ever gone on to have a .0000 .500 year. >> we're hoping rg-iii, touted way better than any other rookie
of the past, should come in and do a pretty good job, but it depends on everyone who is around him. coaching staff, acclimate to his needs and skill sets, as well as the wide receivers. >> we'll see, come that game against the saints. let's move on to the nats, running a little bit out of time. they look like they are doing great. everybody's talking playoffs. do you think they will make the playoffs? >> i would think they would. you know, beginning of the year, everyone was worried about the nats and said, you know, they hit a skid. 182 games left. >> that's a lot of games to play! >> now at the end, we have hit another skid. teams don't win every single game. obviously it's a bad part of the season to have a skid, but going into the end, gio gonzalez ?eedz to step up and strasburg does, too. >> acould they hold him back into the playoffs? >> lot of people don't want to mess with his daily routine, pitching, and i even suggested make him a middle reliever, so he's still getting some time. obviously that's something they will do at the beginning of the
season, probably didn't think we would be in this position. so he's going to be held accountable at the end. if we don't win the world series, and i'm a nats fan as well, there's going to be a lot of stuff to talk about. if we do without strasburg, genius move. >> and we've got a couple games left to really see how that's going to play out. >> yeah. >> rocky, thank you for joining us again. >> thank you, appreciate it. >> have a great show. >> will do. i'm running over there right now. >> great. and hopefully we'll see you again throughout the regular season. >> yes. folks in the gulf coast, not the only ones reeling from hurricane isaac. dozens of pets, now homeless and looking for new homes. we'll tell you how you can help on that one. @ñ he's made his choice.
but what choices will women be left with? just like mitt romney, paul ryan would get rid of planned parenthood funding. in congress, ryan voted to ban all federal funding for planned parenthood and allow employers to deny women access
to cancer screenings and birth control. and both romney and ryan backed proposals to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest. for women... for president... the choice is ours. i'm barack obama, and i approve this message.
. well, hurricane isaac has done a lot of damage in the gulf. massive flooding has forced plenty of people from their homes. it's also displaced many, many cats and dogs. animals are being sent from louisiana and mississippi to houston, in hopes of finding new homes. the spca is hoping people will donate $5 to help pay for them to be ready for adoption. it's one of those things, gwen, you know about it, but don't really think about it until you see it. >> exactly. i hope people will help. it's very, very important. we've got to get them settled. speaking of isaac, it's going to impact our area as well. we've got a frontal system and the moisture from isaac is heading its way to the east. the two will interact and merge
and we'll get a lot of tropical moisture headed our way. let's take a look at our map, taking a look ahead at what we're expecting. today, we're talking thunderstorms and a chance of that this afternoon. not a total washout, but just be cognizant we could see storms popping up. there's a possibility, so keep your eyes to the skies if you're doing anything else. high of 85 degrees. for your holiday monday, same story, as that frontal system stalls to the south and that tropical moisture joins. we'll be in for a round of storms and it's going to be very humid and sticky outside. so a little bit uncomfortable for everyone and that's going to be sticking around into the course of the week as well. we've got a chance of storms almost every day until we hit the end of the week. >> lot of the swimming pools are still open! >> definitely. now, i want to ask you, do you like pies? >> depends on which one. >> well, i love pies, big pie eater. your chance at the central farmers market bethesda pie

Jan 2020Birmingham Smithfield Market Competition
We are delighted to announce that we are the winners of an international competition to design a new home for the historic Smithfield Markets in the heart of Birmingham. Our team includes Birmingham-based artist multiverse, Eastside Projects alongside, Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, Mark El-khatib, Charcoalblue, Price & Myers, WSP, Urban Space Management, Plan A Consultants and Max Fordham.
Smithfield has been the productive centre of markets and makers since the foundation of Birmingham and integral to its success as the 'City of a Thousand Trades'. The new markets will be the centrepiece of the £1.5 billion Smithfield development which will deliver significant cultural and family leisure opportunities, a new public square, integrated public transport and more than 2,000 homes surrounding a public park.
We are looking forward to working with Lendlease, Birmingham City Council, local businesses and the wider community on such an important project for the city.
See The Architects' Journal's exclusive for more information.
Dec 2019Seasons Greetings
Wishing all our clients and collaborators a restful holiday and successful 2020.
Nov 2019Two new-build workspace buildings in Greenwich
The structural frames of two new-build workspace buildings designed by DKA for developer Knight Dragon are nearing completion. Part of the Greenwich Peninsula Design District — a new quarter comprising sixteen buildings that offer rent-capped spaces to attract creative businesses — the first phase will complete in Spring 2020. For more information visit our project webpage and the Design District website.
Oct 2019Teaching at AA
David Kohn and Bushra Mohamed are leading a new diploma unit at the Architectural Association from October 2019. The unit will build on DKA's practice-based research and explore issues of critical importance to contemporary architecture such as the climate crisis, the role of public space in cities and the language of architecture.
This year the unit will collaborate with artist-run multiverse, Eastside Projects, on the regeneration of central Birmingham. Entitled, 'Play for Today: The Performance of Architecture' the unit will consider major urban change through the lens of performance in all its many forms. For more information visit the AA's website here. Follow @aadip19 on Instagram here.
Sep 2019Oslo Architecture Triennale
DKA is participating in the Oslo Architecture Triennale from 26 September–24 November 2019. Responding to OAT's theme 'Enough: The Architecture of Degrowth', DKA revisited its 2008 proposal for a carbon neutral arts complex, Heterotopia.
As part of ongoing practice-based research into the future of galleries and museums, DKA invited artist Pablo Bronstein, graphic designer Mark El-khatib, along with engineer Jane Wernick and sustainability consultant Nick Cramp, to critically reappraise the proposal. Would we want to build Heterotopia now? What has changed? A transcription of the round table debate is being exhibited at OAT and can be read here.
Aug 2019Scaffold Podcast
Matthew Blunderfield has interviewed David Kohn for the podcast, Scaffold. "The contemporary economies of architectural production inevitably tend toward the shed. The shed is this panacea - everything can be a shed. […] We can now build these vast, expansive structures, and the idea is that they're kind of good for everything but in fact they rob everyone of all of these other spaces that allow you to be sociable in many more ways [….] We all need this, we need spaces where you can sit with a couple of other people and enjoy a meal or a drink." Listen to the podcast here.
Jul 2019Berlin Office Completion
DKA in collaboration with Nord Studio has completed the new Berlin offices of German developer Euroboden. In a listed nineteenth century villa near Potsdamer Platz, the interior refurbishment provides a setting for Euroboden's programme of events including exhibitions and lectures. The offices were officially opened to coincide with Euroboden's 20th anniversary. Visit the company's website for further information.
Jun 2019Museum of London
DKA has been shortlisted to design the permanent exhibition of the Museum of London at its new site in the former Smithfields Meat Market. Occupying the extraordinary underground goods depot and salt store, the Past Time gallery will focus on 10,000 years of London's history.
May 2019Wellcome Exhibition
DKA has designed the exhibition 'Jo Spence & Oreet Ashery: Misbehaving Bodies' at the Wellcome Collection. The work of both artists challenges ideas about care and wellbeing in contemporary society. From 30th May 2019 to 26th January 2020. For more information visit the Wellcome Collection website.
Apr 2019We are recruiting
DKA is recruiting for a senior architect, a practice manager and a new business manager to join our team. Please visit our online recruitment platform for further details.


[S]ebago Lake has a distinct split personality. Along the Route 302 corridor, on the east side, from North Windham and Raymond to Casco and Naples, Sebago presents a public face of shopping centers, fast-food restaurants, marinas, motels, day camps, resorts, and a state park. Along Route 114, on the west side, Sebago is a more private place of modest summer cottage neighborhoods and youth camps.
Once around lightly reveals that Sebago is also a microcosm of summer in Maine — a collection of small towns, where residents and summer people, campers and day-trippers enjoy a freshwater respite from the pressures of everyday life.
And the water is fresh — fresh enough to provide drinking water for 200,000 people in Greater Portland and southern Maine. The Portland Water District so strictly enforces a 2-mile No Bodily Contact zone in Lower Bay that when four Navy SEALs wanted to swim the lake's 13-mile length to raise money for Camp Sunshine last August, they couldn't swim from one end of the lake to the other. Instead, they swam a U-shaped equivalent from Raymond, around Raymond Neck and Frye Island, then north to the beach at Point Sebago Resort.
Sebago is the second largest of Maine's lakes (behind Moosehead) and the deepest, plunging 307 feet in the middle of Big Bay. Within 105 miles of shoreline is contained some 995 billion gallons of water. A 436-square-mile watershed feeds the lake to the north, while the Portland Water District empties it at the southern end. It takes about five years for the waters of Sebago to completely renew themselves.
Just north of Migis, on the other side of Kettle Cove, is the beneficiary of the Navy Seals' seven-hour swim, Camp Sunshine, a retreat for kids with life-threatening illnesses and their families. It's one of several summer youth camps, some dating back to the turn of the 20th century, that ring the Sebago shore. "It feels like Maine 100 years ago," says Michael Smith, Camp Sunshine's director of special events.
Anchoring the north end of the lake at the confluence of the Crooked and Songo rivers, Sebago Lake State Park provides Sebago's primary public access, with some 90,000 car campers a year using the campground and another yearly 120,000 day-trippers drawn to its sandy beaches.
Strung along Sebago's western shore are cottage neighborhoods named for the little pieces of paradise they lay claim to — Nason's Beach, Long Beach, Simpson's Beach, Wards Cove, Harmon's Beach. Each is a family-oriented summer settlement intent on the barefoot life — swimming, fishing, boating, waterskiing, tubing, and cookouts. Jordan's Store at Long Beach is the only year-round market, a classic country store decorated with trophy fish and providing everything from groceries and hot food to fishing and hunting gear. Jordan's opened in 1925 and has been owned and operated by Carroll Cutting and his family since 1958. Turnover is slow around Sebago, which is just how the lake people like it.
Because so much of the west side of the lake is private property and so much land around the south end is owned by the Portland Water District, the town of Standish has never had much public access to the lake. That may finally change in 2016, when negotiations over the lease to Boaters Beach are expected to be completed. Owned by the Water District, Boaters Beach is a sandbar accessible only by boat, and — for now at least — only to 300 member-families of the Sebago Boating Club, which has leased the beach for 30 years. On bright summer days, as many as 100 boats pull up to this slender strip of sand, which fills up with swimsuited families splashing, sunbathing, tending grills, playing volleyball.
Grew up a walk away from Sebago. Tragically I was relocated to the midwest on my father's career ladder. I never realized the value of a large, clean, rock & sandy bottom lake as well as the same traits around the entire circumference until I moved to Minnesota. The land of 10,000 lakes is in reality about 9,995 small ponds. And what are ponds like? Mucky, grassy, weedy.. (no sand unless its brought in or man made) etc. Step foot in a lake in the midwest and your feet begin to sink in squishy soft mud. Luckily I am now living in Maine (for this reason and many more).

Perusing Instagram, I am constantly inspired by other quilter's work. Several months ago Heather Jones Studio had been creating quilt after beautiful quilt of improv half-log cabins, and I decided that I must try my hand at it too. I pulled out some of my hand-printed peach fabrics and went to town. Whenever I had a break between projects, I would slice more strips and add them to my four funky blocks. Before I knew it, it was time to sandwich and quilt it! All bound up, it hung on my quilt ladder un-photographed for a couple months. Until last weekend. I ironed out that lovely improv beast and took it to my favorite quilt photo spot for some quality time. I may have been yelled off the property by a startled Amtrak employee, but without missing a beat, I headed to campus and discovered a lovey white industrial backdrop across the road from the library.


Everyone agrees 'driving while high' is bad. But what does that even mean?
While several states have legalized using marijuana, nobody is in favor of driving under its influence. But as states crack down on high driving, they're struggling to figure out what counts as driving high, and how they can reliably test for it.
Currently, if police determine they have reason to suspect a driver of being under the influence -- perhaps due to erratic driving or other behavior -- they can administer a field sobriety test. But unlike alcohol, there's no on-scene breathalyzer for marijuana, and so in order to confirm marijuana use, officers must take drivers to police stations to administer a blood test.
But even if after all that, officers are able to get that test and prove a driver had marijuana in his or her system, there's a debate over what level really means the driver was actually under the drug's influence.
To combat marijuana-impaired driving, some states have established a clear legal standard for judging whether someone is driving under the influence: 5 nanograms of THC (the primary intoxicant in marijuana) per milliliter of blood.
But new research shows that even substantially impaired marijuana users would not be caught under this standard if they consumed pot in edible form.
Unlike alcohol, which is nearly exclusively consumed in beverage form, marijuana can be consumed via a variety of methods. While it's primarily smoked, as the legalization and commercialization of marijuana has spread, cannabis-infused sodas, tinctures, cookies, and candies have become increasingly popular.
Correction: The standard some states have established is 5 nanograms.

You can enable Two-Factor Authentication directly from your profile. On the bottom left, you'll see a section labeled Security. Here, you can change your password and enable Two-Factor Authentication (displayed as Two-Factor Auth). By default, Two-Factor Auth is turned off.
By clicking "Turn On", you'll be taken to a screen to enter your mobile number and send a code to your phone. Please note, standard texting rates will apply.
Once you receive the code, you'll need to enter it on the screen and click "Verify Code".
You'll also be given the option to set up app authentication (which we strongly encourage) for an extra measure of security. To proceed, download one of the suggested apps and scan the barcode with your mobile phone. Once you do so, a code will be generated and you'll need to enter the verification code. Once you enable Two-Factor Auth, this will be your default instead of your mobile device.
Alternatively, you can skip the app and just use the standard text authentication.
Is texting the only way to use Two-Factor Authentication?
Justworks defaults to texting for Two-Factor Auth, but we also support (and encourage) using 3rd-party apps, but you can choose and update your primary delivery method at any time. However, app authentication is only available once SMS set up has been completed.

On Tuesday I attended a session of the People's Court, at which the POUM member, whom I met at the Executive Committee, was acting as fiscal. The trial took place in a room at the Palace of Justice. The court seemed thoroughly proletarian in its composition and attitudes. The bourgeois judge obviously tried to fit his behaviour to that of the workers. A doctor was on trial. He was accused of treating a Republican officer wounded in the revolt with injections in such a way that he knew that he would most certainly die. A number of testimonies were given. There was no conclusive proof. The accused was freed. The audience was mainly composed of workers. There were also some doctors. The public took an active part in the proceedings, but were also very dignified at all times. The fiscal really did lead the proceedings. A lawyer defended the accused, putting questions to witnesses.

Want To Know How to Win This Recipe Contest?
Do you want to win this recipe contest?
Since you're sharing your family secret I might as well tell you how to increase your chances of winning the grand prize.
Actually it's very simple just follow some or all of the tips as outline below.
A recipe submission that receives plenty of feedback from our web site visitors has a better chance of winning a prize. By feedback, I mean votes and comments that are left talking about your recipe.
Since I receive thousands of visitors to this site per day there is a good chance that someone will see your recipe, try it out and later return and leave comments about how easy the recipe was to prepare and how great the food tasted.
However, your recipe will not always appeal to every visitor. So you should have your family and friends visit this website, vote and add comments about their experience with the dish they created from the recipe you submitted.
Remember the recipe with the most votes and most meaningful comments most often wins a prize.
Make your recipe as simple to follow as possible. If the recipes ingredients are too hard to find and the recipe seems too complicate most people will not give your recipe a try.
However if the recipe is simple and uses common household cooking ingredients there's a good chance that visitors will try out your family favorite recipe.
Give your recipe a interesting name that will grab the visitors attention and make them want to see what your recipe is all about.
If you can entice someone to look more carefully at your recipe there is a good chance they will try it out and come back later to vote and submit comments.
Lots and lots of incomplete recipes are submitted each week. For recipes like this the chances of winning are slim, since without a complete recipe people are not able to try the recipe. By incompelete I mean list all ingredients and leave detailed instructions on how to prepare the recipe.
Tell the story of how your recipe came to be and how many stomachs and hearts you have touched by creating your marvelous dish.

La Dinastia Đinh (en vietnamita: nhà Đinh) va ser una dinastia que va governar el Vietnam (aleshores amb el nom de "Đại Cồ Việt") entre el 968 i el 980. Només va aportar dos emperadors: Đinh Bộ Lĩnh, que va sortir victoriòs de les disputes entre els Dotze Senyors, i el seu fill Đinh Phế Đế, que va cedir el tron a Lê Hoàn.

Ascens al tron
Đinh Bộ Lĩnh era fill de Đinh Công Trứ, un oficial que havia servit als emperadors Ngô Quyền (939–944) i Ngô Xương Văn (950–954). Quan Đinh Bộ Lĩnh encara era jove, el seu pare va morir i va ser educat per la seva mare lluny de la cort.

Quan la dinastia Ngô es va fragmentar, i Vietnam va entrar en un període de guerra civil conegut com l'Anarquia dels Dotze Senyors, Đinh Bộ Lĩnh va entrar al servei de Trần Minh Công (Trần Lãm), un dels dotze senyors.

Veint el seu potencial, Trần Lãm va fer-lo un dels seus generals. Un per un, Đinh Bộ Lĩn va anar derrotant els altres 11 senyors, fet que li va valer el títol de Vạn Thắng Vương (Rei de les deu mil victòries). El mateix Trần Lãm va reconèixer que era el millor rei possible i li va cedir el poder. Finalment el 968 es va reunificar el país i restablir la pau, i Đinh Bộ Lĩnh es va coronar amb el nom de Đinh Tiên Hoàng.

Regnat
Đinh Bộ Lĩnh va rebatejar el país amb el nom de Đại Cồ Việt i va traslladar la capital al seu Hoa Lư natal. Conscient de la debilitat del Vietnam, va buscar mantenir bones relacions amb Xina pagant tributs a canvi d'un acord de no-agressió. A nivell intern, va reformar l'administració per reforçar l'estructura de l'estat. També va introduir un nou codi penal molt estricte, que incloïa penes com les de ser bullit en oli roent o llençat a la gàbia d'un tigre, amb la intenció de dissuadir ningú que pretengués alterar el nou ordre.

Đinh Bộ Lĩnh volia que el succeís el seu segon fill Đinh Hang Lăng, i per això va excloure el fill gran Đinh Liễn de la successió. Una nit del 979, durant una festa al palau, un oficial va assassinar Đinh Bộ Lĩnh i Đinh Hang Lăng. Amb la mort de l'emperador i l'hereu, i el fill gran exclòs de la successió, el tron va passar al tercer fill: Đinh Toàn, un nen de sis anys.

Abdicació

Đinh Toàn va ser coronat amb el nom imperial de Dinh Phe De, i la seva mare Dương Vân Nga va assumir el rol de regent.

Diversos nobles van voler aprofitar la feblesa de la monarquia per rebel·lar-se, però les revoltes van ser sufocades ràpidament pel general Lê Hoàn, comandant en cap de l'exèrcit. Però la nova dinastia imperial xinesa, els Song, va veure en la situació del Vietnam una oportunitat de recuperar-ne el domini.

Espantada per aquesta amenaça, l'emperadriu Dương Vân Nga va decidir cedir el poder al general Lê Hoàn. Amb el consens de la major part dels oficials de la cort, el general va ser coronat emperador mentre l'exèrcit xinès arribava a la frontera del Vietnam. Lê Hoàn va aconseguir derrotar les forces invasores, establint una nova dinastia imperial.

L'emperadriu Dương Vân Nga acabaria sent la segona esposa de Lê Hoàn, esdevenint la primera dona de la història del Vietnam a estar casada amb dos emperadors.

December 14, 2010 by Christoff Truter Personal	This post is closed for comments.
I finally reached my 100th post today - by finally I really really mean finally.
This website's been running for about 5 years now, so I am not too sure if this is much of an achievement - especially seeing as some of my older posts resembles tweets more than posts.
This year I wrote majority of the posts you can find (at the moment at least) on this website (55 to be exact).
But why blog? Here is a list of my personal motivations.
I find it extremely fulfilling when I find a comment on my site in which one of the posts actually managed to help someone - time is afterall by far our most precious commodity.
It can also be a wonderful learning tool (find better/other solutions), if you've got a teachable "spirit" that is and not live under the false assumption that you know and understand all things (oh we're not worthy).
Chances are pretty good that you're going to forget a lot of the things you've learned in 5 years (if not 5 minutes) from now - your blog can serve as a personal knowledge base, where you can store concepts and ideas in your own language and funky logic (wish i started sooner - sigh).
It can also give potential employers an idea or approximation of who you are and what you can do, maybe even make your resume a little bit more colourful.
But I can definitely recommended that if you don't have a blog, start one today - even if you only write tweet sized posts to start out with - go for it.
I've got an average of about 60 000 hits per month at this stage (nothing hectic) - excluding bots etc. So I just want to thank my loyal reader... uhm, loyal readers for visiting my website over the last few years, I hope to provide you with some quality posts in the years to come.
Congrats, here's to the next 100!
