What, no "Substring matching attribute selectors"?
Although, I neglected to mention selectors.
In fact we are using floats for our layouts today. Floats are never be intended to create three or four column layouts. Learning it and fix around Browser Bugs is very hard.
So please implement useable CSS properties for Multi Column Layouts soon, there are a few modules in progress @ w3c why is no one of this ready for fighting against floats as a site Layout module.
Opacity/rgba/hsla is already at the Candidate Rec stage in the CSS3 Color module. text-shadow is in CSS2 Rec, so it's effectively in CR. The rest of the features you're requesting are in CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders, so all we really need is to push that into CR. It needs another round or two of editing and reviewing first, but unless some major problems are found it should be possible to get it to Last Call at least by the end of the year (if we prioritize appropriately, which I hope we will). Comments on what looks good and what could be improved would be very helpful. The discussion in http://www.css3.info/border-radius-apple-vs-mozilla/ about border-radius had a lot of great points.
We need this, but we need implementation first, and solid level implementation. Otherwise it's kind of useless.
What are the major differences between CSS, CSS2 and CSS3?
i want know the main differences between css2 and css3 also which version we are using right now?
I want know major uses of using inline, internal and external style . Pls waiting for ur reply.
I want know major why we usings of inline, internal and external styles . Pls waiting for ur reply.
how to start the statement of CSS3?

Steven Adler Of Guns N Roses Fame Hospitalized After Accidentally Stabbing Himself
Alex Myers June 28th, 2019 - 6:51 PM
Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after accidentally stabbing himself. A 911 was received from Adler's house on Thursday (6/27) and the paramedic arrived shortly after.
Adler's representative made a statement to TMZ saying that "the stabbing was not a suicide attempt, and simply an accident." He did not specify how the accident occurred, but the wound was not detrimental because the drummer still plans to perform on July 12 in Las Vegas at The Golden Nugget.
His stabbing raised a concern that it was due to a relapse from his past addiction to cocaine and heroin, but his representative assured TMZ that Adler has been sober for several years.
His addiction started in the 1980s and lead to his grand exit of the band in the 1990s when he was removed from the group in the midst seeking treatment. In a 2017 interview with blabbermouth.net, Adler explained that his addiction was not the main reason that he was kicked out of the band.
"If people think that I got kicked out of Guns N' Roses for doing drugs, they are so mistaken. Everybody in that band was doing drugs. I was doing less than anybody. I got kicked out of the band, and Izzy got kicked out of the band, and then Slash and Duff did, because Axl wanted to take control of everything — he wanted to own the name, he wanted to be the only person who gets paid for the songs" Adler said.
In an interview with Classic Rock Magazine, Adler disclosed that he attempted suicide multiple times while battling with the turmoils of his addictions. The damages from his past drug use caused him to have a stroke leaving one side of this face completely paralyzed.
Since then, he has been open about his addiction and appeared on season two and five of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." He explained in an interview on the SIRIUS-XM show, OutQ, that he chose to speak publicly about it in order to put himself in a position to be held accountable for his sobriety.
The drummer has continued to make music and in 2016, he reunited with Gun N' Roses to perform "Out Ta Get Me" and "Michelle." He also formed a band in 2003 called Adler's Appetite and went on tour covering Guns N Roses songs and original pieces. The band released a self-titled EP in 2005 and another EP in 2012 called "Alive" in 2012.

No Exorcist Can Handle Possession
by Michał Oleszczyk | February 9, 2012 |
To call it overwrought would be an understatement. Andrzej Żuławski's 1981 masterpiece, butchered upon its original American release and relegated to spurious video-nasty circulation, is now returning in all its hysterical glory, as a part of Brooklyn's BAMcinématek complete Żuławski retro, which will then move to Cinefamily in Los Angeles. Featuring what is arguably the bravest female performance ever put on film - namely, Isabelle Adjani's Cannes-winning turn of shamanistic intensity - the film dares its viewer to enter a trance-like state, in which genres blur and mate to yield a new level of cinematic expression.

The best films of 2009
Since Moses brought the tablets down from the mountain, lists have come in tens, not that we couldn't have done with several more commandments. Who says a year has Ten Best Films, anyway? Nobody but readers, editors, and most other movie critics. There was hell to pay last year when I published my list of Twenty Best. You'd have thought I belched at a funeral. So this year I have devoutly limited myself to exactly ten films.
'Yes' is elegant, bold, original, erotic
When I interviewed Joan Allen and Sally Potter about their new film "Yes," I assumed everyone who saw it would love it as I do. I was mistaken. Although it has many supporters, it has opened to some savage reviews ("Ideas of almost staggering banality" -- A.O. Scott, New York Times).

Q: pass class instance parameters for easy instantiation About twelve of my unittests use a class with six parameters where one or two of them is systematically modified for the test. It feels like there is a fair bit of repetition. I want to get rid of the repetition and make it very clean and explicit what is modified within the six parameters for each test. The code is a bit error prone otherwise, if you accidentally have an attribute out of place for something with assertFalse, the test may succeed but not for the reason you are testing for.
I was going to just instantiate the class up the top of the script, make a deepcopy of it for each test and modify its attributes as needed, due to some need for flask context, that looks like it is getting messy.
base_instance = SomeClass(
                  firstparameter = "dog",
                  secondparameter = 5,
                  thirdparameter = [7, 8],
                  fourthparameter = 5.5,
                  fifthparameter = "bar"
                  sixthparameter = "foo"
)

The thing is, the set of keyword parameters inside the brackets is not really a python object you can easily put in a variable, pass around or lightly modify. Is it possible to give the class its parameters in a dictionary or some other structure somehow, so I can easily make instances with systematic changes in a deepcopy of the object which holds the parameters? I want it to stay explicit with keywords, so not start messing around with lists and positional arguments.

A: You can absolutely do this.
params = {
    'firstparameter': "dog",
    'secondparameter': 5,
    'thirdparameter': [7, 8],
    'fourthparameter': 5.5,
    'fifthparameter': "bar",
    'sixthparameter': "foo"
}
base_instance = SomeClass(**params)

Look who's appearing in Woody Allen's currently filming untitled movie set in the late '50s: Soprano stars Tony Sirico and Steve Schirripa! We didn't realize it, but this is Tony's SIXTH movie with Woody. We've known Tony for YEARS – in fact, his name was Junior back in those early New York days. Junior (don't you dare call him that now!) was the doorman/bouncer at a hot club, and he MEANT BUSINESS. His black hair was slicked back and as shiny as his suit. Cute girls were always welcome, but guys had to wait outside. Any guy who got out of line at that club lived to regret it. Oh, and Junior never went anywhere without packing heat. He was the real thing. And now he's a movie star- who would have guessed!
well, his clothes are telling us something else.
his character on sopranos was sad and disgusting….
Both are longtime made men in the Bonanno Crime family.


"Here's your boarding pass and visa back," the customs agent said as she stamped my passport. "Have a safe and pleasant trip to Los Angeles, and enjoy your time at the outdoor game. And as a friendly reminder, if you don't mercilessly trash the entire event, you will be denied access back into Canada."
OK, she didn't say that last part in so many words, or really any words at all. But it was implied. It was in the tone of her voice and an almost imperceptible furrowing of her brow. She knew what was up. Message received, customs lady.
I am a Canadian, and I had been sent to California to watch an outdoor hockey game. This was not right. This was a mockery of what outdoor hockey should be. There would be no softly falling snowflakes, though a smog advisory was possible. There would be no hot cocoa. There would probably be toques, but they would be worn ironically.
And I would be there. But so help me, hockey gods, I would not like it.
When reports first surfaced that the NHL would expand its slate of outdoor games from one or two per year to a remarkable six in 2014, one matchup stood out: the L.A. Kings hosting the Anaheim Ducks.
Canadians are predisposed to not like the outdoor concept in the first place, no matter how much the games seem designed to appeal to us. Outdoor games are new. We don't do new. In our ideal NHL, nothing changes, ever. Not the teams, not the uniforms, not the rules. Hockey was just fine before Gary Bettman and friends showed up, and we don't trust them to go making improvements.
But we've come to grudgingly enjoy the occasional outdoor game, and the rest of this year's matchups were at least in standard hockey markets: Vancouver, Michigan, New York, and Chicago. There were too many, sure, but at least the league got the basics right. Cold weather. Traditional teams.
Los Angeles, though? Los Angeles got to host an outdoor game before Montreal? Or Toronto? Or even Minnesota? Put aside the question of how you manage to make decent ice when temperatures are pushing 80 degrees. This is not a hockey town. I mean, can they even spell hockey in Los Angeles? [Checks.] No. No, they cannot.
My flight touched down Thursday night, and on the drive to my hotel from LAX, I noticed a sign indicating we were on the Glenn Anderson Freeway. Really, L.A.? You try to impress hockey fans with an obviously fake freeway sign featuring a former NHL player, and Glenn Anderson is the guy you pick? Sure, he's a Hall of Famer, but Anderson never even played for the Kings. He helped win them a playoff series once, but nobody's going to buy that this city went and named a freeway after him just for that.
Honestly, it was like Los Angeles wasn't even trying.
This was going to be a disaster.
DGB, I think you're understating the gravity of your offences. While admitting you actually liked the California game is certainly worth seizing your passport over, you also admitted to agreeing with Gary Bettman which, as you know, is a capital offence here in Canada.
Your execution via moose trampling is scheduled for next Tuesday.


simulation the thermophysical properties of fluids along an isobar. We discuss aspects connected to the computation of local temperatures in systems under the influence of heat fluxes, and how the combination of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and non-equilibrium thermodynamics allows understanding phenomena arising from the coupling of internal molecular variables and heat fluxes, which lead, e.g. to thermo-molecular orientation. The behavior of these orientational effects near a fluid critical point is also discussed.

Tuberculosis (TB), the second-highest cause of mortality in Papua New Guinea, remained a key challenge for the country's health services and the focus for Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in 2019.
We are working in collaboration with the national TB program to improve screening, diagnosis, treatment initiation, and follow-up at Gerehu hospital in Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, and in Kerema city in Gulf province. In 2019, the World Health Organization's new treatment recommendations for multi drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) were introduced for all patients, meaning that they no longer have to undergo painful daily injections and instead receive an all-oral treatment with six months of bedaquiline, a relatively new drug that has fewer side effects. This has enabled MSF to address the key issues of improving patient care, adherence to treatment and treatment success rates.

people started on treatment for TB
people started on treatment for MDR-TB
In Port Moresby, due to the high patient numbers, we built a dedicated TB clinic within the compound of Gerehu hospital. The new facility allows us to screen, diagnose, and treat more patients safely.
We scaled up our mobile activities, running clinics in remote areas of Gulf province and providing better access to diagnosis and treatment for patients previously excluded from these services for geographical, economic, or cultural reasons.
This decentralized model of care means that patients do not need to visit medical facilities so frequently, saving them transport costs. Throughout 2019, we introduced improvements in quality of care, with the integration of HIV testing, greater emphasis on counseling, and closer monitoring of patients, their treatments, and any side effects. This has helped to reduce the number of patients failing to complete treatment.

Stages, Diagnosis & Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy results from damage to the small blood vessels in the retina and is the most frequent cause of new blindness among adults aged 20-74 years old. However, with early diagnosis and treatment, progression of the disease and its associated vision loss can be slowed, and in many cases can be prevented. Diabetic Retinopathy tends to appear and progress in stages beginning with Mild Nonproliferative Retinopathy, progressing to Moderate Nonproliferative Retinopathy, further advancing to Severe Nonproliferative Retinopathy and without proper attention progressing into the most severe stage, Proliferative Retinopathy.
Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy
Mild Nonproliferative Retinopathy- This is the earliest stage and is characterized by the presence of "dot" and "blot" hemorrhages and "microaneurysms" in the retina which can be present without any change in your vision and typically does not require treatment unless it progresses or is accompanied by Diabetic Macular Edema.
Moderate Nonproliferative Retinopathy-This is the second and slightly more severe stage with more extensive changes whereby some of the small blood vessels in the retina may become damaged enough so that they close off and diminish nutrients and oxygen to certain areas of the retina that is called ischemia.
Severe Nonproliferative Retinopathy-This next stage is characterized by an extensive amount of retinal blood vessel damage and ischemia with patients at a high risk of going to the next stage of retinopathy-the proliferative stage.
Proliferative Retinopathy-This is the most severe stage and has a significant risk of vision loss. To compensate for the lack of oxygen, areas of the retina send signals to stimulate the growth of new abnormal and fragile blood vessels in order to try and reestablish the supply of oxygen-called neovascularization. These vessels tend to break and hemorrhage into the vitreous gel and can scar and cause retinal detachment, with catastrophic vision loss. It is critical that this stage be treated as quickly as possible in order to stop the progression and preserve good vision.
Diabetic Macular Edema-Leakage from the retinal blood vessels may cause the center of the retina, a condition called Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) which can occur in any stage. It is possible to have Diabetic Macular Edema and not have vision loss.
Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy
Routine eye exams including dilated retinal exams and retinal photos should be scheduled for al patients with diabetes on a minimum of an annual basis and more often as suggested by your eye physician depending on the health of the retina. The most effective and accurate ways to observe and diagnose diabetic retinopathy, including Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) are to perform Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Intravenous Fluorescein Angiography (IVF) which we will recommend again as needed to help preserve the health of the retina.
Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy
Depending on the stage and the potential for and the degree of vision loss it is possible to treat, stabilize and often reverse the effects of diabetic retinopathy. Treatment of diabetic retinopathy can use retinal laser photocoagulation treatment as well as intravitreal injections of Vascular Endothelial Growth Inhibitor (VEGF) Drugs such as Lucentis® or Eylea®, or a combination of both. Optimal results require early detection ad diagnosis for treatment. Intravitreal injections of VEGF Inhibitor drugs are less destructive than retinal laser treatment and thus are more often recommended as the primary treatment for management of vision threatening complications of diabetic retinopathy.

Security, Safety & Justice
Link naar Security, Safety & Justice in het actieve academische jaar
Security, Safety and Justice, 2022-2023
How do we protect our society against terrorism? Can we secure the complex world of cyberspace? Are self-driving cars safe enough? Who is responsible if something goes wrong? How do we balance surveillance and privacy?
The media pays attention to these questions with regard to safety, security and justice every day, so it is not surprising the topic deserves academic attention as well. This minor will provide you with the basic academic knowledge to understand the background of these questions better. The emphasis in the minor lies on the "security" element. The minor SSJ enables you to broaden your horizon regarding security-related topics in society.
The knowledge base that this minor offers to analyse security-related topics is multidisciplinary, and centres around three broad academic themes, which are connected to specific academic fields:
Security covers a broad range of research fields encompassing criminology, antiterrorism studies, and security management; the safety theme contributes via insights from risk management; and justice provides important concepts from legal studies, history and philosophy. Knowledge of essential concepts from all of these fields is necessary to understand and analyse today's security and safety issues. This unique blend of knowledge from social and technical sciences allows students of the minor SSJ to address and analyse current-day security-related topics.
To provide this broad spectrum of knowledge to students TU Delft and Leiden University set up a cooperation. Leiden University primarily contributes with knowledge from the fields of public administration and legal and antiterrorism studies. TU Delft contributes in the areas of risk analysis and risk management, technology assessment, and system analyses.
The minor SSJ gives insight into security issues you read about in the newspaper: terrorist threats, criminality, integrated security and stability. Basic knowledge and research techniques are acquired centered around three themes: security, safety, and justice.
The insights and analyses are applied to current topics, for example in the transport sector, critical infrastructure, and cyber security.
After completion of the minor, students will be able to:
i) Recognise safety, security and justice aspects in contemporary issues, and be able to synthesise scientific arguments for their presence.
ii) Form an opinion on SSJ issues, which is grounded in scientific analysis and argumentation.
iii) Apply basic analytical techniques to contemporary SSJ issues. These techniques include: system analysis, risk analysis and perpetrator analysis.
iv) Assess the value of scientific publications and use them in the analysis of SSJ issues, and be able to find publications that give deeper insight in these contemporary issues.
v) Recognise the role that SSJ issues have in their own study major, describe this role and explain it to others.
The minor consists of 6 courses of 5 ECTS each and takes place during the first semester. The semester is divided into two blocks of eight weeks each. In every block, three courses are taught. You can also register to only follow the three courses in block one, which count for a total of 15 ECTS.
Please be aware that the SSJ minor needs to be completed in one academic year. If you have not passed all courses during one academic year, please contact the board of examiners of the Institute of Security and Global Affairs well in advance.
Start seminar
The SSJ minor starts with an opening event to give a first introduction into the minor and the themes security, safety, and justice. Attendance to this opening event is mandatory.
Goals and target audience
The minor is multidisciplinary in nature, and is taught by lecturers from both the Faculty of Governance & Global Affairs at Campus The Hague, and from the Faculty of Technology, Policy & Management of TU Delft. The courses take place in The Hague and Delft, respectively.
The maximum number of participants is 140. Priority is given to students from Leiden University, TU Delft, and Erasmus University Rotterdam. Leiden University and TU Delft each have 60 reserved spots, EUR has 20. It is first past the post system, no waiting list is used, and once the maximum amount of participants is reached, no new admissions will be allowed any more. Students from other Universities can apply.
Students of the Bachelor Security Studies will not be able to enrol in this minor since the content is similar, fully or in part, to compulsory components in their bachelors programme. This minor is not accessible for HBO students.
Contact and registration
Students from Leiden University can register for the minor via uSis from 2 May 2022 until 15 July 2022 via Usis 6000MSSJN. (Study activity #1026)

Juliane Huth (geboren vor 1971) ist eine deutsche Juristin, Rechtsanwältin und ehemaliges stellvertretendes Mitglied des Hamburgischen Verfassungsgerichts.

Beruflicher Werdegang
Juliane Huth betreibt eine Rechtsanwaltskanzlei in Hamburg. Ihre Tätigkeitsschwerpunkte liegen im Arbeitsrecht, Arzthaftungsrecht und in Verfahren zur Restitution von NS-verfolgungsbedingt entzogenem Kulturgut, insbesondere aus jüdischem Besitz.

1986 vertrat sie Mandanten, die an der Demonstration in Hamburg am 8. Juni 1986 teilgenommen hatten. Im sogenannten Hamburger Kessel wurden damals Demonstranten von der Polizei eingekesselt. Hunderte von Menschen wurden bis zu 13 Stunden lang innerhalb von Absperrketten von der Polizei festgehalten.

1988 vertrat sie den Kieler Semmel-Verlach in einem Verfahren, in dem das Kasseler Jugendamt bei der Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Schriften die Überprüfung der Bildbände von Jean-Marc Reiser beantragt hatte. Das Jugendamt argumentierte, die Comics würden Kinder und Jugendliche schwer sittlich gefährden.

In den 1990er Jahren war sie stellvertretende Richterin am Hamburgischen Verfassungsgericht.

Juliane Huth erstellte unter anderem ein Gutachten für ein Verfahren. genannt Causa Kirchner, in dem es 2006 um die Restitution des Gemäldes Berliner Straßenszene von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner ging.

2020 schied sie aus der Hanseatischen Rechtsanwaltskammer Hamburg aus.

Engagement
1971 war sie Teil der Aufsehen erregenden Aktion Wir haben abgetrieben!, bei der eine große Zahl prominenter und nicht prominenter Frauen – auch wenn dies zum Teil nicht zutraf – öffentlich bekannten, ihre Schwangerschaft abgebrochen und damit gegen geltendes Recht verstoßen zu haben.

1989 unterzeichnete sie eine von der Humanistischen Union veröffentlichte Erklärung, die sich auf folgenden Sachverhalt bezieht: Der Arzt Peter Augst hatte in einer Diskussion gesagt, Soldaten seien potentielle Mörder. Das Landgericht Frankfurt hatte geurteilt, dieser Satz sei vom Grundrecht auf Meinungsfreiheit gedeckt, und Augst freigesprochen. Daraufhin hatten Politiker das Urteil mit scharfen Worten angegriffen. Der Abgeordnete Johannes Gerster habe gar eine Rechtsbeugung in den Raum gestellt, Bundesjustizminister Hans A. Engelhard habe sich der Kampagne angeschlossen. Die Unterzeichnenden der Erklärung setzten sich für die richterliche Unabhängigkeit ein und stellten sich hinter die Richter der Strafkammer.

Im September 2008 unterzeichnete sie einen Offenen Brief für die Einstellung der Verfolgung ehemaliger jüdischer Partisanen in Litauen, der dem litauischen Botschafter in Berlin persönlich übergeben und dem deutschen Botschafter in Litauen sowie dem Europaparlament zugestellt wurde.

The cancellation of long-distance races at university games has highlighted the issue of declining physical fitness among college students.
More than 30 universities in Xi'an no longer held long-distance races because of the decline in students physical fitness, leading to concerns the students may suffer injury or even death if they took part in intense physical activity. From 2002 to 2010 in China, more than 40 participants in long-distance running events aged 16 and over died suddenly….
This is apparently a trend across the country. Chinese universities traditionally require students to pass a physical fitness test in order to graduate, but many students are apparently begging instructors just to give them a pass, because they're not healthy enough to pass on their own.
Why is this? Perhaps it's the air pollution. Maybe it's lack of exercise (Chinese universities are, unlike American ones, not locations for fancy gyms) or the heavy smoking.
At any rate, it turns out many students think about the physical fitness examination only at the end of their time at the university. And by then it might be too late.
Note that this doesn't necessarily mean Chinese students are less healthy than Americans. Many American colleges are very concerned with student obesity. It's just that American colleges generally don't require fitness test for graduation, so it's not a crisis.

Bills offense confident they'll improve
Their opening performance in Week 1 against the Dolphins was not encouraging when it came to results, but the players on Buffalo's offense remain resolute in their belief that they will improve and become more consistent with their play as season wears on.
Naturally the offense wanted to get off to a promising start and be air tight with their execution, but with a new offense to master at regular season game speed, the players and coaches realize it's going to be a process that moves at a methodical pace rather than at light speed.
"We've got to get to a level of consistency throughout the ball game to get where we need to be," said head coach Chan Gailey. "We have done it in preseason, but that was preseason and it doesn't count. Now it counts and we've got to get to that level of consistency. That's what we'll be working on, this week and in the weeks to come."
The players know they left opportunities out on the field Sunday, particularly in the third quarter when the defense and special teams helped to provide them with great field position near midfield on two consecutive possessions. Buffalo was forced to punt on both drives.
Players were frustrated and were quick to put it on their shoulders to improve the overall performance moving forward.
"I've got to do a better job of making guys miss," said C.J. Spiller, who had 14 total yards on 11 offensive touches Sunday. "I didn't do a good job of that. They did a good job of as soon as I was there they were right down on top of my toes. A couple of plays I was a shoestring away from making a big run. That's why you work in practice. I've just got to learn."
"We'll understand how they tried to play us for one, and what other defenses might try to do to us in the future," said Lee Evans. "I think that's just from everybody- guys that have been around, rookies, coaches, everybody. I think the blame falls on everybody when you miss the opportunities we had. I'm pretty confident that we'll be a lot better offensively than we were (Sunday)."
As much as Sunday's performance on offense may have reminded fans of the struggles of the recent past, the players trust in their head coach and their offensive staff and believe consistency will come sooner rather than later.
"We have a lot of talent on our offense and whatever Chan Gailey calls, we just have to execute that play," said Roscoe Parrish. "Whether it's a quick gain, a deep route, a run where we have to block for those guys, and vice versa. Right now we have to look at film and see how we can break things down to get a faster start on offense."
"I don't think our performance (Sunday) is going to affect the rest of our season," said Andy Levitre. "We've got to get back to work this week and hopefully next week will be a lot better than this week."
In no way are the members of Buffalo's offense content with what happened on Sunday. They know there were opportunities missed in what was largely a one possession game until the late stages. That's why they're confident and committed to making more consistent offensive play a reality.
"There are still 15 football games left to prove that," said Trent Edwards. "I don't see any reason why we can't do that. We have the players in this locker room and the coaches that can do it. There's no reason to be down or disappointed and we'll come back next week." "I think we'll get a lot better from this game," said Evans. "We'll learn from this game. I think we'll be a much better offense in the future."


Citizenship is a 116-page unit that discusses the role, rights, and responsibilities of North Dakota citizens. Students learn about national, state, and local governments. Students also learn about rights and responsibilities of young citizens, voting, state symbols, and Theodore Roosevelt Roughrider Award recipients.
The purpose of this Teacher Resource Guide is to assist the teacher in teaching about Citizenship. It is intended to be interdisciplinary and to act as a guide to supplement other activities that may be used in the classroom. Review and discussion questions, vocabulary, and additional activities are included and available in print and CD-ROM versions of the Teacher Resource Guide for Citizenship.
Have students work collaboratively with the teacher in creating a "Bill of Rights" for their classroom (e.g., every student has the right to learn in a safe environment).
Have students create an ABC Alphabet Book on Citizenship (e.g., A = American, B = Bill of Rights, C = Citizen, etc.) Illustrate each page and share it with another classroom or place it in the school library.
Have students create a Citizenship Glossary with illustrations and definitions that younger children in lower grades could understand. Have students share with others in the classroom or place it in the school library for use by other students.
Have students create a book or comic book of campaign vocabulary. Include words, definitions, and illustrations.
Have students use the three-circle Venn Diagram to list the similarities and differences for the three branches of North Dakota government.
Have students use a Concept Web to study the branches of government of North Dakota and to write characteristics of each branch in one Concept Web. This activity could be assigned to a small group of students and each member of the group would become the expert of one branch. When finished, each member would share the information researched with the other members of the group. To assess group participation and cooperation, use the Cooperative Group Rubric.
Extension: After placing information on a Concept Web, have the students transfer their information from the Concept Web in either narrative or poetry form.
Using a large piece of tag board, have the students create a poster board display demonstrating their knowledge of the branches of government of North Dakota listing the current people representing each position found within each branch. Here is a Poster Board Display rubric for evaluation.
Have students create a hanger mobile portraying the three branches of government.
Have students participate in a range of citizenship and decision-making activities (e.g., circle time, class meetings, school councils, acting as playground helpers, taking part in paired reading, taking responsibility in getting homework and class assignments completed on time, etc.).
Visit with the students at the beginning of the year about what makes a good citizen. Inform them that the teacher will be choosing a Good Citizen of the Day each day based on observations by the teacher showing evidence of sharing, helpfulness, accomplishments, improvements, and doing his/her best. The Good Citizen of the Day will then receive a special certificate giving that student special rights and responsibilities for the next day (e.g., line leader, only student to be able to spend time in a special place in the classroom, room monitor, or whatever the classroom teacher deems special).
Have students create/discuss individually, in small groups, or as an entire class a timeline to identify the changes that will take place in their rights and responsibilities between now and when they reach the age of 18. Hopefully, they discover that both rights and responsibilities increase with age.
Have the students create a class citizenship tree where each leaf states a characteristic that makes a person a good citizen.
Have students develop questions that new immigrants would have to know for a citizenship test to become citizens of the United States.
Have students take a sample citizenship test given by government to immigrants. Sample questions can be found at the site listed below.
Have students create a "citizenship box" of one of the traits of a good citizen.
Have students create a class bulletin board entitled "Citizenship City." Each student will design a house to place on the bulletin board. Each house will be decorated with the student's name on it. On the bottom of each house, each student will write his/her own "Citizenship Pledge" explaining a way that he/she plans to fulfill community responsibility (e.g., leading a recycling campaign, donating goods to a homeless shelter, etc.).
Have students design a quarter they think would be representative of North Dakota or of themselves as a good citizen. Share with the class.
Have each student think individually about what traits make a good citizen. Working in pairs, have students share their ideas and thoughts with each other. This enables the teacher to observe what the students' knowledge is when thinking about the traits needed to be a good citizen. Examples of these traits may include honesty, compassion, respect, courage, perseverance, etc. The students may come up with additional words that define good citizenship traits.
Have each student think of and write down examples from their own lives where they have recognized some or all of these characteristics in themselves.
Create a list of ground rules needed for an orderly discussion, and tell why they are needed?
Create a list of things that make school a good place to be. Then, list what actions each student/class could do to make school a better place for everyone. Create a classroom "Bill of Rights"that would be used as the main discipline plan for the school year (e.g., each person in the class has the right to be treated in a way that he/she would want to be treated).
Some people have said the most important words in our Constitution are the first three words of the Preamble, "We the People." Have students think about this. Have them defend their position.
Pros and cons on why everyone's vote counts.
Which of the responsibilities of young citizens do you consider to be the most important? Be prepared to defend your choice (e.g., obey rules and laws, pay attention to the government and politics, let elected officials know about problems or concerns, encourage adults to vote, make wise choices, volunteer to help others, help with community service, take care of the environment, and be a kind and caring person).
Responsibilities go along with our rights.
Which of the following nicknames given North Dakota (Peace Garden State, Flickertail State, Roughrider State) is the most accurate? Defend your choice.
Can you have rights without responsibilities?
Have students use a dictionary to look up "republican" and "Republican" and "democrat" and "Democrat." Have them draw a cartoon that illustrates how the terms are different.
Have students design a North Dakota license plate that they feel would be a good representative of the state.
Have the students participate in "Raise the Flag Day." The following site gives several activities for the day.
Have the students create a class brochure related to flag etiquette.
The U.S. flag is red, white, and blue in color with stars and stripes. Each color has a different meaning. White signifies purity and innocence, red signifies valor and bravery, and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
Have students look up each of these words and find synonyms for each of these words in a thesaurus.
Have the students create a poster of the United States flag showing evidence of their knowledge of the parts and colors of the flag.
Extension: Research the origin of the North Dakota state flag and the significance of its symbols and colors.
Have students perform a Reader's Theatre where one group reads one word or phrase from the Pledge of Allegiance and the other group reads the meaning of the word or phrase.
North Dakota's dark blue field displays a bald eagle holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its claws. In its beak, the eagle carries a ribbon with the words "One nation made up of many states." The shield on its breast has thirteen stars, representing the original thirteen states. The fan-shaped design above the eagle represents the birth of a new nation, the United States. The name "NORTH DAKOTA" appears on a red scroll below the eagle.
North Dakota flag coloring page.
Have students create a Citizenship Board Game to show their knowledge of any area of citizenship. A rubric is provided.
Citizenship of North Dakota Bingo—Have students fill in the blank boxes with citizenship words provided. Have a list of words created along with the definition and cut them into small pieces. The caller will select a card, read the definition, and the students will place a marker on the word that matches the definition. When BINGO is called, the student must read the word and give the definition before it is counted.
Note: This can be used as an assessment tool.
CHARACTER COUNTS includes the six pillars of character (i.e., Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship). Have students, either working with a partner or in a small group, graphically organize each of these pillars, listing as many characteristics of each pillar as they can think of or find through research.
Have students create a mind map for each of the branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial) that includes officials and their duties.
Have students draw a diagram showing their understanding of how the separation of powers and checks and balances work.
Have students create a mind map including officials and their duties for state, county, city, and tribal governments.
Have students use a North Dakota map to indicate the location of each of the county courthouses of North Dakota.
Using a large U.S. map where each state is cut out, have students select a state(s) so all 50 states in the United States are represented. Students will write a personal trait of theirs related to being a good citizen on their state(s), cut out and place it either on a poster board or on a bulletin board in the correct location on the map. The students will then discuss how each of the traits is important in helping make the world a better place in which to live. Partner a student with another student who has a different trait or gift. Have them together research how to transform these talents into action through an act of volunteering. Each pair will present its findings to the class.
Using the six democratic virtues of responsibility, civility, courage, fairness (justice), honesty, and being lawful, have each student make a poster montage or collage depicting the application of the six democratic virtues in his/her own life. Use a variety of sources to compile pictures, illustrations, photos, etc.
North Dakota has a state hymn written by James W. Foley and arranged by Dr. C. S. Putnam. Do they think these words are still appropriate for North Dakotans today? Explain. Ask the students if they were to write a new North Dakota Hymn, what words would they write to tell about North Dakota?
Have students role play any section of Robert's Rules of Order to better learn correct parliamentary procedure.
Have students write and illustrate a book, a comic book, or a set of cartoons on basic parliamentary procedures.
Students nominate and vote on a president (runs the meeting according to parliamentary procedure), vice president (writes the names of students nominated for each position on the board to be voted upon by the rest of the class and takes over duties of the president if the president is absent), and secretary (takes minutes of the meeting and writes the nominees and winner of each position in the secretary's book) by a show of hands with heads down. Classroom helpers are then nominated and elected in the same manner as the class officers. Typical classroom helpers might include gopher (does errands for the teacher), papers (hands out papers), desk inspectors (maintains neatness and orderliness of desks), librarian (keeps the classroom library orderly), board cleaner (cleans the boards in the classroom), etc.
NOTE: Every student in the class has to have been in each of these positions first before students can be re-elected to a position they have had before (e.g., if Sally had already been president, she cannot be re-elected to this position until everyone in the class had been president first. The secretary's minutes will provide evidence for the class). Post the names next to their designated positions in a prominent place in the classroom until the following week.
Have students create a poster that shows some rights of citizens and responsibilities those rights carry.
Have students design a poster that shows how they are engaged in good citizenship. Share with the class.
Have students create a poster that shows how they can promote the common good in their school or community.
Have students make a poster encouraging people to vote, especially 18 to 20 year olds.
Have students complete the Class Bill of Rights activity.
Have students create a PowerPoint or iMovie slideshow on any aspect of citizenship.
Have students divide into four groups, each group representing one of the four parts of freedom of expression (i.e., speech, religion, press, gathering in groups). Each group will share one of these freedoms in a creative way to show understanding of their assigned freedom (e.g., poster, diagram, play, slide show, etc.).
Have students develop a North Dakota bookmark based on the state symbols.
Have students create a book of North Dakota's symbols, emblems, and mascots and give a brief explanation of each.
Have students create a seal representing their school community.
Have students design a flag representing their own life and culture based on citizenship values.
Before introducing the Great Seal of North Dakota to the students, have them each visualize, make a list of, and create what he/she thinks should be contained in the Great Seal of North Dakota. Then, work on the first two journal ideas below. Have the students reflect on their drawings. Were their ideas similar? What did they include on their original design that was not on the Great Seal? Discuss with a partner, small group, or entire class the importance and significance of symbols and what they can represent.
Find words that relate to any of the symbols used in North Dakota. What do each of these words mean to you, and why do you think they are an important part of our state's history?
Have students reflect on the description of the Great Seal of North Dakota (description appears below). What do they like about it? What would they keep the same? Change?
Partner students and have one read the description of the Great Seal while the other student draws what she/he hears. Share the drawing. This is a great listening activity while enhancing the visual-spatial intelligence of the students. The description for the Great Seal follows.
A tree in the open field, the trunk of which is surrounded by three bundles of wheat; on the right a plow, anvil and sledge; on the left, a bow crossed with three arrows, and an Indian on horseback pursuing a bison toward the setting sun; the foliage of the tree arched by a half circle of forty-two stars, surrounded by the motto "Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable"; the words "Great Seal" at the top; the words "State of North Dakota" at the bottom; "October 1st" on the left and "1889" on the right.
The vocabulary cards in the Citizenship Teacher Resource Guide may be enlarged or reprinted on card stock. Laminating the vocabulary cards will make them more durable and long-lasting. Additional vocabulary can be found in the Student Text. These words may be used for reviewing (e.g., Trivia, Jeopardy, or a student-created game board, poster board, etc.). The sky is the limit for the uses of these words! Several suggestions follow.
Use the Citizenship vocabulary words as spelling words. Have students write each word in a complete sentence that would tell the reader its meaning through context.
Students may partner and give each other a spelling test (written and/or oral).
The United States is sometimes referred to as a "nation of immigrants," a "salad bowl," or "melting pot." Ask students to think about these questions. What do these terms mean to you? How has immigration affected you in North Dakota? Should North Dakota continue to open its state to immigrants who want to settle here?
Have students write a story about what can happen in a community where people do not exercise their responsibilities to be good citizens.
Suppose that we did not have a national government. Each state would be a separate country (e.g., have its own army, its own money, etc.). Have students make a list of problems that might occur in this situation.
Have students write a story with the title "Every Vote Counts." In the story, have them show how just one person's vote can make a difference.
Ask students to think about these questions. Why does the United States and each of the 50 states, including North Dakota, have a flag? What does the flag represent? What does the eagle represent to you?
North Dakota Legislative Branch gives information on the legislative branch of government, how a bill becomes a law, representatives and senators, how to testify in front of a committee, etc. Very informative!
nd.gov site lists the stops made on a tour of the State Capitol.
Great Books for Social, Personal, and Health Education, and Citizenship. Topics include: developing confidence, responsibility, belonging to groups and communities, role as citizens, taking care of animals and the environment, respecting differences, etc. can be found at Random House.

Molecules When A Gas
A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. Molecules are distinguished from ions by their lack of electrical charge.However, in quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, the term molecule is often used less strictly, also being applied to polyatomic ions. In the kinetic theory of gases, the term molecule is often used for any.
Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other.
T = temperature of the gas = 303 K. {eq}V_{avg} {/eq} = average speed of the nitrogen molecules. Formula to calculate the average velocity: {eq}V_{avg} =sqrt{dfrac{3times Rtimes T}{M}}.

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and plasma).A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).A gas mixture, such as air, contains a variety of pure gases.

Banks in Nigeria
The banking system in Nigeria is maintained and regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The banking sector of this country consists of 21 commercial banks, 860 microfinance banks, 5 discount houses, 64 finance companies, and 5 development finance banks. All the activities of the mentioned banks and financial institutions are regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The Central Bank of Nigeria formulates the policies and keeps a track of the banking system in totality so that the operators comply with the monetary, FOREX, and credit guidelines. The commercial bank of Nigeria mainly performs three major functions- accepting deposits, giving loans, and smooth operation for payment and settlement mechanisms.
Structure of Banks in Nigeria
In the year 2000, the monetary authority of Nigeria started the universal banking system. This measure was introduced so that the commercial banks present in the country become eligible to offer financial services like mortgage, stockbroking, insurance merchant banking, commercial banking, and bureau change all under one unit.
There are new reforms in the banking sector that are implanted by the Central Bank of Nigeria which has declared to issue new licenses. The Nigerian banking system in oligopolistic in structure and market concentration has a positive and significant impact on the performances of the banks. Market concentration acts as a major determinant of bank profitability in this country.
It can be safely said that the structure of the Nigerian banking sector and their performances can be improved if this banking sector gets the allowance to exploit the synergistic effect of market-induced consolidation. According to Moody's the banking sector looks stable in the country. Because of the government's liberal Forex policy and increasing oil prices, the local banks can expect moderation in their foreign currency liquidity risks.

i mean i was already twenty three on friday but now i have ~celebrated~ it so it's all official and stuff!
I celebrated so hard that I woke up with enough alcohol in my system to forget that taking codeine-fortified painkillers with alcohol in your system is a really bad idea! And then I went woooeeeooo and sat next to a bowl for about half an hour just in case. But now I am past most of the nausea (and it is ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY TYPICAL of me to be nauseous in the standard hangover space for reasons completely unrelated to hangovers) and all that is left is a bit of swimmy vision and wheeee.
I had a pretty great day yesterday. Al and I had brunch with both our parentses and it was minimally embarrassing! My dad gave me a skull-shaped shotglass & a t-shirt with a screenprint involving a Russian che guevara joke, and my mum gave me yet another unnecessary purse, a CD called "Land of The Powerful Owl", a cushion and a dinky pearl necklace. This tells you everything you need to know about my family. Al's mum knitted me a beanie. If I marry this guy I forsee a future of owning many, many beanies.
In the evening we went down to the Summer Hill Hotel. It turned out to have some minor space issues, but after a while most of the other patrons cleared out because the footy was over, so we could spread out again. At one point a random drunk older woman sat down at our table, knocking over someone's drink, because we were in front of the TV. After a while we asked her to move so we could fit all my guests at the table, at which point she glared daggers at us from the next one for a while. Anyway, I caught up with a bunch of great people, although I think may have neglected Stan and his new girlfriend for a while there, because she embarked upon an ambitious construction project using leftover chips and aioli.
My first three and a half drinks managed to leave me feeling relaxed but otherwise soberish, and then someone bought me a double and about four sips into it my face started feeling numb. Cumulative effects of alcohol! But anyway, I don't remember saying anything embarrassing, or at least anything I felt embarrassed about saying, so I'm going to call it a win. It really should have occurred to me that I couldn't metabolise all that overnight though. Now I'm going to go see what Land of the Powerful Owl is all about, I imagine a codeine high can only help.
