Support the North Carolina Zoo
A wide range of programs...
The North Carolina Zoo Society's primary role is to support conservation, education, research and recreational programs at the North Carolina Zoo. The Zoo Society's generous donors and loyal members enable the Zoo to do more than exhibit animals well. Gifts from the Zoo Society help the North Carolina Zoo
contribute nationally and internationally to wildlife conservation and research;
advance standards and practices that promote the well-being of animals in zoos and in the wild; and
inspire people everywhere to respect, explore, care about and connect with nature.
Animal Care and Education
Veterinary Residency Program
The North Carolina Zoo, in cooperation with the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, manages a three-year residency in zoological medicine, the veterinary specialty associated with the care of non-domestic species. The program, which admits one resident each year, offers top-tier training to veterinarians who will become world leaders in protecting the health of both captive and wild exotic animals. The North Carolina Zoo Society contributes $30,000 each year to support this training program.
The Valerie H. Schindler Wildlife Rehabilitation Center
The Valerie H. Schindler Wildlife Rehabilitation Center provides free veterinary and rehabilitation services to orphaned and injured native animals brought to the Zoo for treatment. The Center also provides significant training opportunities to residents, interns and other students who work or volunteer at the Center while they pursue careers in biology or veterinary medicine. Funds raised by the Zoo Society provide half of the money needed to operate the Center. Please click here to make an online donation in support of the Schindler Wildlife Rehab Center.
Animal Enrichment Programs
The Zoo's animal enrichment programs serve the psychological and physical well-being of the Zoo's animals by providing them with complex, changing and appropriate environments and social settings that encourage play, foraging and other natural behaviors. Donations from Zoo Society members and donors provide all of the funds used to operate these programs. Please click here to make an online donation in support of the Zoo's animal enrichment programs.
The North Carolina Zoo Society is fully responsible for many of the expenses the North Carolina Zoo must shoulder to transport, acquire and manage its collection animals. Donors make it possible for the Zoo to maintain its animal collections and provide for their welfare needs.
Wild Welfare
The North Carolina Zoo helps coordinate efforts to improve the care of animals in some of the world's poorest zoos. Funding provides training, veterinary care and support to help animals held in poor conditions.
Conservation and Research
The North Carolina Zoo Society funds, in full or in part, field research programs focused on African elephants, Cross River gorillas, polar bears and several other species. More information about those projects is available on the Save a Species page.
Conservation Medicine Program
Donations to the Zoo Society fully fund the Veterinary Staff's Conservation Medicine program, which carries out research, provides training and purchases equipment related to the medical needs of rare and endangered species. For example, this program monitors the health of wild snakes found on the Zoo's grounds, surveys amphibian populations for disease, and studies the pharmacokinetics of white rhinos. Donate to Conservation Medicine
Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park
The North Carolina Zoo Society and Sylvan Heights have enjoyed a relationship since 1994, when the North Carolina Zoo requested Zoo Society help in supporting this world-renowned breeding facility for rare and endangered waterfowl. Because of contributions raised by the Zoo Society, and particularly by Cheryl Turner (formerly the Society's Director of Development and now its Executive Director), the Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park has expanded to include a recreational park that exhibits the largest collection of duck, geese and swan species in the United States.
Learning and Living
The North Carolina Zoo's UNITE conservation education and teacher training project in Uganda has been operating in the villages around Kibale National Park for more than ten years. UNITE promotes environmentally sound attitudes, knowledge and skills in native people by supporting local environmental and conservation education efforts. UNITE provides teachers with the tools and resources they need to teach about wildlife and resource conservation, and supports three Ugandan educators on a full-time basis to work with over 100 teachers in 10 local schools. Please click here to make an online donation in support of the UNITE program
Art Programs and Acquisitions
These efforts expand the Zoo's educational impact through the development and maintenance of the Zoo's impressive public art collection. To date, private donations to the Zoo Society has installed public art works valued at more than $2 million.
Valerie H. Schindler Wildlife Learning Center
Funded by donations to the North Carolina Zoo Society, the Schindler Learning Center provides affordable accommodations for college and university students participating in apprenticeships, internships and residencies at the Zoo. The Center also houses visiting artists, campers, scholars and other people engaged in work or study that advances the Zoo's missions in conservation, education, recreation and research.
fieldtripEARTH
Initially developed in 2002 under a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services and now funded entirely through donations to the Zoo Society, the website fieldtripEARTH (http://fieldtripearth.org) serves K-12 students by linking them to conservation researchers working around the world. The website serves classrooms in all 50 United States and in more than 140 countries.
Keepers in the Classroom
This program, which is funded exclusively by donations to the North Carolina Zoo Society, educates and inspires students by sending zookeepers and other zoo professionals into classrooms to teach students and to mentor them if they choose to complete environmental projects that benefit their schools. Keeper mentored programs have engaged students in creating butterfly-attraction gardens and hiking trails, and in organizing environmental field-days and work projects.
Kidzone is an area in the North America region of the Zoo designed to encourage children to play outdoors. It provides a safe, reliable place for children to explore and connect with nature. Kidzone also houses the RTI International Training and Research Center for Children and Nature. This facility is a centerpiece for the Zoo's growing professional training programs in Playful Pedagogy.
Smart Carts
Smart Carts are small, portable and hands-on learning stations packed with interesting biological specimens and staffed by enthusiastic staff and volunteers eager to share their knowledge of the Zoo and its animals. These stations, which are funded primarily by gifts to the Zoo Society, reach out to the Zoo's 800,000 plus annual guests.
The Zoo's plants define the animals' habitats, beautify the landscape, buffer the exhibits, provide shelter and shade for animals and visitors and create a setting that seems more like a park than a zoo. These plants, and the Zoo's endangered plant programs and greenhouses, depend on Zoo Society donors and supporters to fund their needs.

Knowle Picture Playhouse
Now Johnsons Cars
(No Connection to F. J. Johnson & Son)
Film shows in Knowle first started at the Wilson Arms in 1919/20. The licence was held by the landlord, Mrs. Tansley. There were four shows each week: Thursday and Friday and Saturday evenings, plus an afternoon show on Saturdays. Prices were 2d, 3d and 6d (6d = 2½p). The films were silent, with piano or violin accompaniment, and everyone sat on benches. Mrs. Tansley eventually transferred the licence to Jack Chamberlain, who built Knowle Picture Playhouse on Station Road in 1924, where the garage is today.
Jack Chamberlain had been apprenticed to Vickers and was generally regarded as very clever and very experienced with engines. He brought the stone for the building from Kenilworth on his steam engine; the cinema generated its own electricity with a diesel generator around the back, where Jack Chamberlain lived in a caravan he had bought from Bronko Bill c. 1926. He also had a yacht moored at Knowle locks, where he also lived at times. One night before the war tragedy struck: he was killed on his way to his boat in his car when it ran down the embankment. He was quite young.
A small orchestra accompanied the silent films and names recalled included Mrs. Thornton, Jack Yorke, Bonar Owen, Horace Sanders, and Bill and Jack Fletcher who played drums and provided the sound effects. Jack's contributions were recalled a "guns and bombs going off everywhere". Those were happy days. Ron Court recalled the first films:
I can remember the first film they had there, it was Jackie Coogan in 'The Kid'. But because of the huge number of available artistes that had been thrown out of work, they had to have a spell of half an hour in between … where you had artists come on. And one day descended on Knowle two people. His name was Haji Baba and Sonia. They were mind readers, and he used to wear a turban with a great big red ruby on. He used to come on the stage, and Sonia would go "What have I got my hand on now?" and he'd say "A fountain pen". "What colour is it?"..."Black". And they were feted all in Knowle because they used to put on acts in the pubs as well, and no one quite knew how they ..... But I understand that they ran up debts everywhere, they stayed at the Swan … I don't know whether this is true. And they never paid ... when they used to buy a round of drinks they put it on the slate you know. I know they had grocery bills … my father [owner of Court's Grocery Stores], he was taken in with them. And suddenly they disappeared ... some wag in the Swan said the next night "I saw him about 2 o'clock this morning on his magic carpet!" Haji Baba and Sonia, I often wonder what happened to them, I used to watch them spellbound.
Knowle Picture Playhouse was one of the first houses in England to show 'talkies'. It was a sensation when it opened and brought people flocking in from miles away. In the 1930s seats in the first six rows, which were benches, cost 3d. The rest of the stalls were 6d., 9d. and 1/3d. Upstairs, where seats could be reserved, the price was 1/6d. Many regulars reserved the same seats every week, and woe betides anybody else who tried to use them. The balcony was certainly the best vantage point; the only problem being that the roof was made of corrugated iron, and if it rained, one couldn't hear a thing. The cinema was a focal point in the village enjoyed by old and young alike and a good thing for the village, where young people met and the boys courted their young ladies. Children usually waited for an opportune moment to slip in the side door - for free if you were quick enough.
The cinema thrived until competition arrived with the advent of television, particularly when many sets were bought for the coronation of Her Majesty the Queen in 1953. It remained a cinema until 1955, when it was sold and became a garage. Remnants of the old building remain.

The Rivière Noire Sud-Ouest (Black River Southwest) is a tributary of the south shore of the Noire River flowing, entirely in the unorganized territory from Mont-Élie in Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality, in Quebec, Canada.

The lower part of this valley is served by route 170 which links Saint-Siméon to Petit-Saguenay, which passes on the north shore of the Noire River. This valley has some secondary forest roads for forestry and recreational tourism purposes.

Forestry is the first economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism activities, second.

The surface of "rivière Noire Sud-Ouest" is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-December to mid-March.

Geography
The main hydrographic slopes near the Black River are:
 North side: Noire River, Petit Saguenay River, rivière Noire du Milieu, Saguenay River;
 East side: Noire River, St. Lawrence River;
 South side: Port au Persil River, Port au Saumon River, Comporté River, Malbaie River, Jacob River;
 West side: American Creek, Castors Creek, Malbaie River, Snigole River.

The "rivière Noire Sud-Ouest" originates at the mouth of Julie Lake (length: ; altitude: ). This source is located at:
  south-west of its mouth (confluence with Black River);
  south-west of the mouth of the Black River with the Gulf of St. Lawrence;
  southeast of the head lake of the Petit Saguenay River;
  north-east of the hamlet Mont-Grand-Fonds.

From its source (Lake Julie), the course of the "rivière Noire Sud-Ouest" descends on  according to the following segments:

Upper South-West Black River (segment: )

  south, crossing the Cure Lake (length: ; altitude: ) on  to its mouth;
  east to the Hydro-Québec high-voltage lines;
  northeasterly along the west side of a forest road and passing south-east of the hamlet "Les Jardins" to a creek (coming from the west);
  northeasterly to the forest road bridge;
  northeasterly, passing southeast of Lac au Plongeon, to the bridge of the forest road;
  northeasterly to a bend in the river;
  south-east approaching the foot of the Mountain at Meniche, to a bend of river;

Lower South-West Black River (segment: )

  north to a creek (coming from the west);
  snaking north, collecting the discharge (coming from the southwest) of McLeod Lake and the discharge (coming from the west) of a set of small lakes, up to a stream (coming from the west);
  first forming a hook to the east, then successively to the north, to the west, and to the north where it descends from  to its mouth.

The mouth of the Black Southwest River empties onto the south shore of the Black River in Mont-Élie. This confluence is located at:
  east of the mouth of the Noire River with the Gulf of St. Lawrence;
  south of the Saguenay River;
  north of the hamlet Mont-Grand-Fonds.

Toponymy
The origin of the name "Rivière Noire Sud-Ouest" is derived from the name of the Noire River in which it flows.

The toponym "rivière Noire Sud-Ouest" was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Bank of place names of the Commission de toponymie du Quebec.

When did the clocks change, do you gain or lose an hour's sleep and why do we use BST?
When did the clocks change, do you gain or lose an hour's sleep and why do we use BST?
THE clock changes in Britain each year means people gain or lose an hour in bed.
At 2am on Sunday, October 28, the clocks went back by an hour to transition Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). But soon it'll be time to say hello to BST.
This year, the clocks went back at 2am on Sunday, October 28, 2018.
The change signals the coming of winter by ensuring there's more daylight in the mornings and less in the evenings.
Fortunately, when they go back it means you gain an hour's sleep.
But beware, while your smartphone and other internet-connected devices should automatically update, many clocks in your home and car will not.
When the clocks change again, at 2am on March 31 2019 to be precise, you'll lose 60 minutes of sleep, as the clocks go forward.
Why do the clocks go forward for British Summer Time?
British Summer Time came into existence with the Summer Time Act, which was passed by Parliament in 1916.
Germany was the first country to adopt the clock-changing plan on April 30, 1916, and on May 21, Britain followed suit, during the height of the First World War.
The campaign which led to the creation of BST and Daylight Savings Time (DST) was started by William Willett in 1907 in a bid to stop people wasting valuable hours of light in the summer months.
By setting the clocks back in winter, Brits get an earlier sunrise and earlier sunset.
In summer the sun rises and sets one hour later than it would without daylight saving.
In a pamphlet called The Waste of Daylight Willett suggested clocks should be advanced by 80 minutes over four stages in April, and reversed the same way in September.
Supporters at the time of the proposal argued the scheme would save energy by reducing domestic coal consumption.
They also said it would increase supplies available for the huge manufacturing cost of the war effort.
It has been in place ever since – despite criticism from some groups.
When will the clocks change again and what do the Daylight Saving Time critics say?
We will not see lighter days again until Sunday 31st March 2019 when the clocks will wind forward again at 2am and British Summer Time begins.

Selling your old Nokia Lumia 900 16GB for the best price is easy - just follow these three simple steps.
Post it: Once you've picked an offer and given the buyer your details, they'll send you a postage pack so you can mail your Nokia Lumia 900 16GB off.
How much is my Nokia Lumia 900 16GB worth?
The current going rate for a used Nokia Lumia 900 16GB is £4.00. Take a look at the table on this page to see which mobile recycling companies will buy your gadget, and find out how much money you can get. If your device is brand new and still in its box, you may get even more than that; but if it's broken or damaged, the going rate tends to be lower.
There are tons of Nokia Lumia 900 16GB recycling, buying, and trade-in companies out there, and trying to work out which is the best can be difficult. That's how we let you compare offers from so many different stores - so you can make an informed decision. And by comparing, you'll get more cash than if you go direct, since you can find the best offer.
You'll find buyers who will gladly buy any kind of Nokia Lumia 900 16GB, but the prices you get will depend on which model it is and what condition it's in. Whether you've got the brand new latest model, a slightly-past-it gadget, or even an ancient original, you can absolutely sell it for cash.
Can I sell a broken Nokia Lumia 900 16GB?
A broken Nokia Lumia 900 16GB will sell for less than a working one, and even less than a brand new one - obviously - but nonetheless, they'll sell. Just make sure you're honest about your gadget's condition and you'll get the most accurate quotes. If a recycler receives your device but decides it is not in the condition they expected, they'll send you a revised quote by email, which you can choose to accept or reject. Some will charge postage if you want your gadget back, though others will do it for free.
Can I sell a Nokia Lumia 900 16GB with water damage?
Selling a water damaged phone is a little trickier, but some recyclers do buy handsets with water damage. Search for quotes on a broken Nokia Lumia 900 16GB above, and check with the recycler if you're not sure whether it will accept a water damaged phone or not.
Step 1: Find out what model your Nokia Lumia 900 16GB is - which you can do by checking your user manual, or looking in the device's settings.
Step 4:Mail your Nokia Lumia 900 16GB to the recycler. They'll send you a postage pack to send it off in - usually at no extra charge.
Step 5:Get your cash! Once the recycler has received your Nokia Lumia 900 16GB and confirmed the offer price, they'll send you your money.

The immensely successful Infrared Astronomical Satellite, launched in 1983, showed that starbursts may be a common mode of evolution for galaxies and that starbursts may be intensely luminous, emitting quasar-like amounts of energy at infrared wavelengths.
The spectrum of a Starburst Galaxy looks much like that of an ionized hydrogen region because the light from these galaxies is dominated by giant HII regions ionized by recently formed, massive, hot stars.
Many astronomers think that the nuclear starburst may feed the Black Holes believed to be lurking in the galaxy nuclei giving birth to a new quasar, as suggested by the jet in the last image.

The figure shows a false colour image of the outflow from the prototypical starburst galaxy M82 in the CO J=3-2 transition at 345 GHz (0.8 mm wavelength).
The starburst region itself is in the disk, about 500 pc in diameter, roughly the size of the innermost contour on the map.
Comparison with lower transitions reveals that the CO is either cooler or less dense in the outflow than in the disk, where it is heated vigorously by star formation.

The role of reddening and obscuration in starbursts is complex, and makes detailed interpretation of their continuum and emission-line properties complicated.
Starburst mechanisms: Much of the interest in starburst galaxies has been brought on by wondering how some galaxies, and often very small regions in their nuclei, manage to convert so much gas effectively into stars in a very short time.

Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | X-ray view into a starburst
Luminous starburst galaxies are where a lot of young stars are currently forming.
They come in two different varieties: starbursts where the star creation is spread evenly throughout the galaxy and those where it is concentrated at its nucleus.
Basically, starbursts are where stars are born, but what is being observed is in fact the X-ray emitting supernova remnants, the remains of massive stars that have exploded and whose expelled matter will eventually contract under gravity to be recycled into new ones.

Starburst galaxies have long been studied at optical and infrared wavelengths, but only since the era of the Einstein observatory has it been possible to study them in detail at X-ray energies.
The relative contributions from these components varies from galaxy to galaxy, and is a function of galaxy type, and evolutionary stage of the starburst.
In addition, we are also interested in the properties of more distant X-ray luminous starbursts, in order to understand the mechanisms by which such objects can emit up to 1000 times the X-ray luminosity of a typical starburst galaxy.

Known as a starburst galaxy for the intense, bright clusters of young stars at its heart, M82 is also characterized by massive jets of hot gas -- tens of thousands of light years long -- that blast into intergalactic space perpendicular to the starry plane of the galaxy.
The emphasis of the new work, according to UW-Madison astronomer Jay Gallagher, was on the powerful high-temperature winds of M82 and using the Hubble and WIYN observations in combination to view the galaxy in a new way.

A Galaxy Blazes With Star Formation
Starbursts were once thought to be brief episodes, resulting from catastrophic events like a galactic collision.
Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are studying the colors of star clusters to determine the age and history of starburst galaxies, a technique somewhat similar to the process of learning the age of a tree by counting its rings.
It is one of several starburst galaxies, which are hotbeds of star formation, being studied by Dr. Gerhardt Meurer and a team of scientists at Johns Hopkins University, Laurel, Md. The picture was taken by Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.

We focus on the radiative flux force due to the circumnuclear starburst, the nuclear starburst and the active galactic nucleus (AGN), and analyze the equilibrium configuration and stability of the dusty gas in the circumnuclear regions.
Moreover, by using the simple stellar evolution in the circumnuclear starburst, the bolometric luminosity of the starburst is estimated as a function of time.
To conclude, the radiatively-supported gas walls could be responsible for the putative correlation between AGN type and the starbursts, whereby Seyfert 2 galaxies are more frequently associated with circumnuclear starbursts than type 1, whereas quasars are mostly observed as type 1 regardless of star-forming activity in the host galaxies.

U of Toronto Astronomy Department Thesis Abstract
Comparisons with images at optical and infrared wavelengths imply that these ionized regions are also the sites of emission from very small grains (VSG's) and other tracers of ionizing radiation, but that the extinction towards the near-IR is still quite high in localized regions.
Since the integrated radio emission records an historical rate from sources that have already been dispersed into the ISM, the implication is that the supernova rate is decreasing over time and therefore the starburst in M82 in coming to an end.
This prediction is in agreement with other evidence from a consideration of star formation rates and the amount of available molecular material.

SPACE.com -- Cosmologists Stretch to Explain Birth of Galaxies
In an article to be published in the October 1 issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters, Kolatt and his colleagues argue that their high-power models provide evidence that young galaxies are formed in brief but energetic bursts of star-forming activity.
Moreover, the number of starburst regions appears to be so great in that model of the early universe, that it appears to show that galaxies were not forming in the way predicted by the Central Quiescent theory, he said.
David Weinberg, a cosmologist in the astronomy department at Ohio State University, said his conclusions working with models of galaxy formation come down somewhere between the Central Quiescent and the Collisional Starburst models, but tend to be in closer agreement with the former.

Photographic exhibitions feed the celebrity industry, in the way they exalt the status of individual photographers as well as how they represent their subjects. As such, they have had a history of being treated with scepticism by the upper echelons of high culture.
Given this, the imminent opening of the Dennis Hopper exhibition at the Royal Academy inevitably causes me to reflect on my experience of big photographic exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery during the 1990s. The gallery was a pioneer of viewing photography as art, and as such has been subject to much of this scepticism. But it was the 2002 Mario Testino exhibition that caused a real backlash.
Let's put this in a bit of context. The National Portrait Gallery reinvented itself as a public institution by moving into the field of collecting photographs from the late 1960s when Roy Strong was a young and flamboyant director (he was appointed when he was only 31 and had already developed dandy tendencies).
From 1917, the gallery had run a photographic collection. It was called the National Photographic Record, and was a system of documentary record of people of public significance. But it was viewed by Strong as boring, full of pictures of Lord Mayors and generals, a symptom of the old establishment which he and his ilk were determined to sweep away and replace with something more meritocratic. They were driven by a belief in creative talent.
Strong ditched the National Photographic Record in 1970 and recruited Colin Ford as curator of film, photography and television. This made the National Portrait Gallery one of the first museums to take photography seriously as an artistic medium.
In 1968, Strong also mounted a spectacularly successful exhibition of the work of Cecil Beaton, which attracted large numbers of visitors and queues round the block. The museum was allying itself with the enthusiasm for all things British at that time. And photography was, and is, a mass medium with a different level of audience and public interest to traditional fine art.
By the time I arrived at the National Portrait Gallery in 1994, there was a well-established tradition of doing major monographic exhibitions by leading photographers. Nearly the first exhibition during my time there was the Annie Leibovitz, a show which consisted of carefully staged celebrity photography based on her work for American magazines, including Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. She presented examples of her work to the permanent collection.
The following year we did a big retrospective of the work of Richard Avedon, one of the great, postwar American photographers. It had previously been shown in Cologne and Milan. I remember the heady sense of being involved with a mass medium, helped by the fact that Princess Diana came out of her period of retreat from public appearances to open it (since it was supposed to be a private event I asked her if she would prefer to leave by the back door, but she said she'd rather face the massed paparazzi again).
But neither of these exhibitions caused any public controversy. Quite the contrary. It was a way of reconnecting the National Portrait Gallery to a mass audience, and it was highly successful.
But something different happened when we opened the Mario Testino exhibition in February 2002. The fine art critics were furious. I remember a journalist taking me to one side and telling me that my reputation would never recover. I occasionally think "The Man who showed Mario Testino" will be written on my grave.
I have never quite understood why the Mario Testino exhibition hit such a raw nerve. It's true that Testino's work had not been conferred with the respectability of the transatlantic photographic industry, although it had been shown successfully as fine art at Timothy Taylor's gallery in Bruton Place.
Curator Patrick Kinmonth displayed the exhibition as a series of magazine spreads rather than more tastefully in small frames. But what really annoyed people was that it was so extraordinarily successful, a cult experience, visited by huge numbers of people (more than 150,000) many of whom would not have visited the National Portrait Gallery before. I could not help but notice that the high priests of the fine art world are suspicious of, if not hostile to, work of such widespread public appeal.
So, how will the work of Dennis Hopper be judged? I suspect it will be viewed reverentially as the work of a great 1960s film director, since Easy Rider remains one of the great iconic films of the 1960s. He was very serious about his photography in the early 1960s, taking photographs with a Nikon camera, always in black-and-white. He knew how to frame and compose photographs and they are displayed as they were originally as vintage prints, mounted as if for their exhibition in Fort Worth in the early 1970s. Yes, there is a celebrity element to the exhibition through the showing of a deeply nostalgic clip of Easy Rider, but the majority of the work shows the seriousness of his early commitment to documentary and portrait photography.
I would love to think that it might be possible to repeat the shock value of the Mario Testino exhibition. But the gates of high culture have now been breached. The V&A, in particular, have done a whole series of exhibitions on aspects of popular culture, including, most recently, David Bowie. We live in a more liberal, and libertarian, age.

Birth Chart (also known as BaZi Chart) represents the energy matrix which was active at that exact point of time. It contains Elements on top and Branches at the bottom. While Elements are a pure manifestation of one particular Element, Branches are mostly packages of various Elements. There are altogether over 10 million possible chart combinations.
Master Element or ME is the central point of reference. Each ME has its own character traits, but those might vary a lot, depending on overall chart conditions. Generally speaking, if ME is weak or feeble, it needs those Elements which can make it stronger. If ME is strong or dominant, it needs elements which will challenge it. If ME is solid, in most cases it represents the ability to handle all Elements without major disturbances.
Five Elements values are generated from the Birth Chart and represent the general dynamic between them.
Character Components are generated from Five Elements, with a certain level of modifications. They represent a basic potential of the Chart, but whether this potential can be reached has to be analyzed in detail in Talent Analysis.
These are the strongest Talents in this chart. Like with Character Components, they are just potentials, but whether the person will be able to access and obtain them, will depend on overall chart condition. This will be analyzed further below.

I conducted training program on Interpersonal Skills and Positive Attitude on 29th November 2014 at PV Textiles (Jam), Samudrapur, Wardha. The program was conducted for middle Level Management employees. At the start of the training i pulled the participants out of their comfort zone by ice breaking activity. The participants got out of their comfort zone and got into a learning mode. They work in a monotonous work environment so my job was to bring them out of their work. Refresh them so that they could carry on their routine work with a new feeling. I trained them on why Interpersonal skills were important, importance of listening, importance of communication, conflict management and why to maintain a positive attitude towards work and life.
They cooperated a lot with me and they did activities on team building and positive attitude. They broke their own inhibitions and did the activity with a very open heart. It really felt great to see them so much engrossed in each activity and trying to do their level best. For me all participants were the winner. They got very creative and participated very well. Through out the training program i maintained a light atmosphere so that maximum learning took place. I very well knew that they have a busy life and its all work work and only work so i wanted them to come out of that and shift their focus to some new learning.
I thoroughly enjoyed conducting training program for the middle level management employees of PV Textiles.

In addition to which components, icons and design we choose when we think about UX, we also need to think about the data itself.
The UI is protective when the user doesn't lose data or work unintentionally. Having to click save to commit your changes is most likely redundant as this is something we had to do back when computers didn't have much memory and storage didn't come as cheap as it does today. Always save the users data when possible so you can retrieve it again if something happens.
We also need to take into consideration that our users are human, and humans sometimes makes mistakes. That is why it's important to make sure that the user can undo a mistake they did.
Saving data automatically also means we should implement versioning. What if the user accidentally deletes everything in the document? They need to be able to get the information back.
Adding auto-save is an important feature, but it also means we should consider implementing versioning.
When the user can go about their business in a social context with no social disruption or embarrassment to themselves or others, the UI is discreet. Discreet is always nice.
We wouldn't want the ATM to read your PIN out loud. Or think of all the games that flood Facebook, or even the autoplay of videos on Instagram when you forgot to turn the sound off. All of this is unwanted disclosure.
So, we need to take a moment to think about what we share, where in the solution we share it and also how much of it. We can access all the data if that is needed, but perhaps it's better to have all that data in one place instead of right front and center.
This can also be important when it comes to GDPR (The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation), if a co-worker watches over your shoulder and you have customer information on you screen that the other person does not have authorization to look at, you need to report this as an incident.
Having less customer sensitive data on the screen will limit the risk of unauthorized people reading sensitive data.
You might hide sensitive data so it is only visible while you have the mouse cursor over the area or have a button that briefly toggles the visibility. Password saving applications do the same, for instance.
Thinking about how you disclose data in your software and how to properly store it is more important than ever.

For the last two years, Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian Collusion dominated headlines. Now, the investigation is over, but plenty of questions and controversies remain.
After the 2016 election, Special Counsel Robert Mueller began an investigation to answer the largest question following the 2016 election: did a foreign power collude with Trump's presidential campaign to win the election? Since the Trump Administration's inception, this case has picked apart those closest to the president. Over the two year period, 34 people were charged with a variety of crimes: tax evasion, money laundering, lying to Congress, illegal lobbying, campaign finance violations, obstruction of justice, and more.
Internet Research Agency Russian troll farm Distributing Russian propaganda by creating fake social media accounts Unlikely to lead to trial in the U.S.
12 Russian military intelligence officers Hackers who stole DNC and Clinton files, and worked with WikiLeaks to share the information with the public Stealing Democratic emails Unlikely to lead to trial in the U.S.
These articles explain who Mueller indicted, why he investigated them, and the questions he attempted to answer over the last two years.
On March 22nd, Special Counsel Mueller finished his investigation into Russian collusion and Attorney General William Barr released a four page summary of Mueller's report. The summary stated: "The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election." In addition, Barr said that he and Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General, determined there was insufficient evidence in Mueller's report to charge the president with obstruction of justice — but Mueller did not exonerate Trump. In order to charge Trump with obstruction of justice, Mueller would have to find evidence that Trump acted with "corrupt intent" as he demeaned and demonized the investigation. Clearly, it is difficult to prove someone's mindset.
In March, both Schumer and Pelosi demanded the report be released to the public, and Barr said he plans to release it mid-April, after he edits it in order to keep secret any damaging information about figures who were not ultimately important to the investigation. Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jerrold Nadler said, "as I informed the Attorney General earlier this week, Congress requires the full and complete Mueller report, without redactions, as well as access to the underlying evidence, by April 2." Clearly, that deadline has long expired, but Congress still demands the report without Barr's edits in order to prevent any bias or the removal of evidence.
Mueller looked at Trump's attempts to control the investigation into his own conduct by allegedly asking FBI director Comey to pledge his loyalty to the president, then firing Comey, attacking Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation, then firing Sessions, threatening to fire Mr. Mueller,and discussing presidential pardons with key witnesses, in the investigation. Mueller could neither exonerate Trump or recommend charges against him for obstructing justice. Ultimately, Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, claimed the report cleared Trump.
The people who made the final call on obstruction were far from objective or disinterested observers. Barr had a history of criticizing Mueller and Rod Rosenstein oversaw the Mueller Investigation for several years despite being a material witness. Rosenstein recommended that Trump fire Comey, supposedly for mishandeling the Clinton email scandal. Trump did fire Comey and provided the Rosenstein rationale but later admitted he was motivated by Comey's handling of the Russia investigation. According to The Hill, "Rosenstein was also a key player in some of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants targeting Trump campaign aides in the Russia investigation." Interestingly, Justice Department officials said that Rosenstein participated in meetings that discussed removing Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. The outcome of the Mueller report would undoubtedly affect Rosenstein's career and reputation due to his involvement. Rosenstein's role in overseeing the investigation, his involvement in firing Comey, his opinions regarding the President, and his conclusion in Barr's summary conflict each other.
What is the Right Saying? What is the Left Saying? What is America Saying?
Should Congress continue to investigate whether Trump's campaign colluded with Russia?
On April 3rd, the Times suggested that Barr's report shaped the public's understanding of this investigation, which was one of the most "consequential government investigations in American history." While this statement is correct as Barr's summary was the first narrative of the Special Council's findings, the above public opinion polls suggest that about 40% of Americans still don't believe that the report cleared the president's name. Moreover, about 47% of Americans still think he is guilty of obstructing justice. The Times also reported that members of Mueller's team are unhappy with Barr's summary, as he left out important details of the investigation. However, there is no way to confirm that statement while the report remains secret.
The House Judiciary Committee granted it's Chairman Jerry Nadler subpoena power to obtain the full 400 page report, so Congress may receive it soon (or the Trump Administration may instead choose to trigger a constitutional crisis by refusing to turn it over). Since Mueller – a life-long Republican, appointed by Rosenstein (also a Republican), appointed by Trump to investigate Trump – could not exonerate the President of obstructing justice, this process may well continue. However, without the votes or overwhelming public support for impeachment, it is not clear what Democrats can gain by undertaking their own investigation.

If there is one thing that we are lacking in the slot world right now, it is definitely Christmas themed games. Fortunately for us, the Secrets of Christmas slot is all we need to get into the festive mood this month. Filled with the best of what Christmas can offer, you will be treated with loads of presents, glittering lights and cheerful bells. Don't even get us started on how generous Santa is in the Secrets of Christmas slot. Believe it or not, cash prizes of up to 100x your spin wager are offered in the bonus features of this game!
The Christmas cheer in this game is brought to you on five reels and 25 paylines. You may start playing Secrets of Christmas from a mere 25p all the way up to a massive £125 per spin. Set in a cozy wooden cabin, you will feel right at home with symbols like milk, cookies, toys and bells on your reels. Always keep an eye out for the bell symbol as it is the highest paying symbol in the game. Get five of them in a winning payline and you will be walking home with 1,250 times your spin wager! Pretty amazing for just a win in the base game if you ask us.
Almost all of the festivity in this slot comes in the form of its bonus features. In total, Secrets of Christmas comes with two unique onus features including the Wilds. Speaking of Wilds, they come in the form of Saint Nick himself. As usual, Saint Nick will replace all other symbols on your reels to complete winning paylines.

Under the hood, this slot packs a massive punch through its extra spins feature. Being the only bonus feature in this game, it is activated fairly easily. Put all the boosts in play and suddenly you will have a bonus feature capable of delivering wins north of 200x your spin wager! Looks like Santa came in the form of a slot this year….


Ever since she began her career, Ariana Grande has had long hair — which she switches up using a rainbow of brunette, blonde, and pink extensions. By no stretch of the imagination could we ever describe her hair as short, but now, it seems to have reached new lengths…literally.
In her just-released lyric video for her song, "Everyday," the singer spent the entirely of the clip dancing in an oversized puffer jacket and bra. But, our eyes instantly went to her hair, which seemed to have switched places with Rapunzel's hair overnight. Although she's worn extra-long extensions in the past, a cursory examination suggests her new strands might be the lengthiest ones she's ever debuted. It's tough to tell exactly where they hit on her body, since her jacket takes up most of the screen, but our best guess is that they hit below her hips, somewhere on her upper thigh. Basically, her hair is really, really long. Paired with her signature brunette shade, wispy bangs, and tiny space buns, it might be her best look yet. We just wonder — how long does it take to dry? Looks like Ariana's now the leading expert on #longhairproblems.

A brief history of huddersfield
Early beginnings at Castle Hill
Settlement in the Huddersfield area began over 4000 years ago with Neolithic man. The most obvious evidence of early settlement is the hill fort at Castle Hill, at Almondbury to the south of the town.
This conspicuous landmark, with its stone Victoria Tower – built in 1899 to mark the Queen's jubilee – was occupied from around 2100 BC. Various defences were built here, the last being a strong Norman castle.
But the Normans were only the latest of a succession of early migrants to the area. The earliest written reference to the inhabitants of this area is to the Brigantes, who were living here in the 1st century BC. They may have come from Bregenz, a region of Austria on the banks of Lake Constance.
The Brigantes were subdued by the Romans, who established a fort at Slack. The Roman troops stationed there came from various parts of Europe. Huddersfield & District Archaeological Society have done a great deal of research on Huddersfield's Roman history, especially the fort at Slack (Outlane) and the Roman road which passed through it.
After the Romans had left, Angles and Saxons arrived, and the first Anglian settlement in the area may have been at Hillhouse. It is unclear how far the Anglo-Saxon invasion displaced or destroyed the Romano-Celtic population, or how far they inter-married and merged together.
In the ninth century Viking incursions reached the area, though no clear indication of Viking settlement has survived. The Norman invasion from 1066 brought major changes in landownership but little further population change until the last two centuries.
As the Normans occupied the North, Ilbert de Laci became lord of the manor of Huddersfield, as part of the wider Honour of Pontefract. In 1086 the Domesday Book recorded that: 'In Odersfelt Godwin had six carucates of land for geld where eight ploughs can be. Now the same has it of Ilbert but it is waste.'
The de Laci family owned the manor of Huddersfield until 1322, when it became the property of the Crown. In 1599 William Ramsden bought the manor and during the ownership of the Ramsden family, continuing until 1920, Huddersfield grew to form the basis of the town we know today.

THE TEXTILE INDUSTRIES
Due to the poverty of the hilly land, local people found it difficult to produce sufficient food to support the growing population, and from early days the conversion of wool to cloth supplemented their incomes. This was helped by a plentiful supply of wool and fast-running streams of soft water necessary for cloth production.
For centuries the industry was based in people's homes or in small mills on upland streams. During the industrial revolution of the late 18th and 19th centuries, the industry increasingly moved to larger mills in the valley bottoms – especially the Colne Valley.
Alongside the growth of textiles – which included cotton and linen as well as the dominant woollen industry – strong engineering and chemical industries developed to provide the necessary machinery and dyestuffs.
At different times the Ramsden family encouraged this growth. They built a Cloth Hall (or textile market) in 1766, Sir John Ramsden's Canal in 1780 and other facilities. With their (eventual) support the railway arrived in the 1840s, with lines west to Manchester, east to Leeds and south to Sheffield.
Huddersfield Station, now a Grade 1 listed building, was described by John Betjeman as 'the most splendid station facade in England'. The industrial wealth of the town in the second half of the 19th century is reflected in its legacy of fine Victorian buildings.
Whilst quickening economic growth, the industrial revolution caused great social and political strains. Huddersfield was at the centre of the Luddite agitation of 1811/12, when militant skilled workers broke up new textile machinery, and the campaigns of the 1830s and 1840s to limit factory hours and resist the workhouse-based New Poor Law of 1834.
A leading figure of both these campaigns, based in Huddersfield, was Richard Oastler, whose name the town commemorates in several ways.
Like many northern industrial towns, Huddersfield gained a seat in Parliament for the first time in 1832. In the 19th century and on into the 20th it had a strong Liberal tradition. More recently the Labour Party has been prominent, and holds the seat at present.
A son of the town, Sir Harold Wilson, Labour Prime Minister in the 1960s and 1970s, now has a statue to his memory in front of the station, and earlier Prime Ministers Asquith and Baldwin also had Huddersfield connections.
The town did not become an incorporated borough, with its own elected corporation, until 1868, but this soon became a pioneer in many municipal services, including tramways, public health and electricity supply.
This was also the period when many schools were founded, after the 1870 Education Act, although the oldest school in the area, King James's Grammar School at Almondbury, goes back to 1608. Earlier in the 19th century Mechanics' Institutes were founded to provide education for the working man, and these were the forerunners of today's Kirklees College and Huddersfield University.
In 1920 the Ramsden family sold their estate to the Corporation for £1.3m, so Huddersfield became 'the town that bought itself'. Since 1974 it has come within the wider area administered by Kirklees Council – Kirklees being one of the five districts of West Yorkshire. A very brief history of local government institutions in the area is available here.
Huddersfield people have formed many clubs and societies. The world-famous Huddersfield Choral Society was formed in 1836 and many other choirs and orchestras also maintain the town's strong musical tradition. There are annual musical events such as the 'Mrs Sunderland' competition, which began in 1889, and the more recent Contemporary Music Festival. The University's music department has a high reputation, and brass bands abound in the area.
In the sporting field Huddersfield has held its head high with famour cricketers George Herbert Hirst, Wilfred Rhodes, Schofield Haigh and Percy Holmes. Runner Derek Ibbotson broke the world record for the mile in 1957 and Anita Lonsbrough won the 200-metre breast stroke event in the 1960 Olympics.
Huddersfield Town Football Club were Football League champions three years running in 1924-6. Following relegation from the First Division in 1972, the club spent 45 years in the second, third and fourth tiers of English football, before returning to the top flight in 2017 under manager David Wagner.
They play at the modern John Smith Stadium (formerly the Galpharm Stadium), which was recognised as 'Building of the Year' by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1994. The stadium is also home to Rugby League side the Huddersfield Giants; the Rugby League was formed at a meeting in the George Hotel in 1895.
Obviously this page has only scratched the surface, and much more information is available on the town's history.
The Society's own booklets are listed on the Huddersfield History Society website. There is a wealth of information on local history at the Local Studies Library and West Yorkshire Archive Service, both based at Huddersfield central library.
Huddersfield: A History and Celebration, by Lesley Kipling and Alan Brooke (Francis Frith, 2005) is a recent brief general history with many photographs.
The last full narrative history was Roy Brook's The Story of Huddersfield (Macgibbon & Kee, 1968). Before that were the histories by Taylor Dyson (1932) and D.F.E. Sykes (1898). Even earlier, Charles Hobkirk's 1868 history is available in full online, as is Joseph Hughes' History of Meltham.
In 1992 Kirklees Council published Huddersfield: A Most Handsome Town, a set of 26 wide-ranging scholarly essays on many aspects of the town's history, edited by University Archivist and Local History Society secretary E.A. Hilary Haigh.
The well-known surname expert George Redmonds has also published a great deal on his local town, including The Making of Huddersfield (Wharncliffe, 2003) and more recently The Place-Names of Huddersfield (David Shore, 2008).
We are indebted to Huddersfield Local History Society for permitting us to use the material on this page and we commend its excellent website.


Sunday, January 27, 2019 Category: Bank of Oklahoma, Bank of Oklahoma Online Banking.
Bank of Oklahoma – it's history started in 1910 under the name of "Exchange National Bank of Tulsa". After the Grand Depression, business men from oil sector put their own money in to help it to survive. In 1933 its name changed to National Bank of Tulsa and in 1975 it became Bank of Oklahoma that remains until nowadays.
I encourage people to give us their biggest financial challenges, whether it's personal or business. Give us an opportunity to work through it and bring the right people together. What I like best about Bank of Oklahoma is that the client is at the center of everything we do. The reason our bank was formed over 100 years ago was that other banks weren't meeting the needs of the community – what we now know as Bank of Oklahoma resulted from that gap.
We live that same philosophy today, in valuing our employees, our clients and the communities we serve.
Focused on long-term financial goals? We can help. At Bank of Oklahoma, we believe all future success begins with developing the right relationships today. It's about trust, earned over time.
Our community is our livelihood. For that reason, we believe in giving back every day and in many different ways. Serving our community is more than a commitment. It's our culture.
Many people think of their community simply as the place where they live, work and play. We believe our community is our livelihood. We believe in giving back every day.
Good corporate citizenship has always been an essential part of Bank of Oklahoma and its parent company, BOK Financial.
It is one of our key company values: "Actively advance the communities we serve." We are motivated to improve the quality of life in the communities where we do business because we believe the most successful companies are the ones that are the most active in providing their support. Our sustained involvement and long-term investments in our communities are important elements of our culture and an integral part of the way we do business. We believe that helping the community also helps the stakeholders in BOK Financial – employees, shareholders and clients.
We continue to fulfill our commitment to responsible corporate citizenship through financial and in-kind contributions and volunteer time from our employees. We support programs that encourage the charitable generosity and volunteer spirit of our employees.


The goal was to create a game which combined two types of game : shooter and rhythm game. Unfortunately I started one week before the end of the event and the goal is quite ambitious for a first game.
The idea was to press the spacebar accordingly with the music in the background and it will shoot the nearest ennemy with a bullet. If the timing is correct then the enemy dies however if the timing is wrong you die.
My idea for the Game Off was a rhythm/shooter game as well!
Haha nice ! My game works at 20% unfortunately xD Didn't have the time too. Where can I see your project ?
You can't (currently) because I haven't pushed it to a repo. It'll probably be at https://www.github.com/PistolRcks/rhythmgun when it does and I get it to a more playable state. Currently, you can only shoot and play music.

Relationship between Self-esteem and Internalizing and Externalizing in Children: Based on a Latent Profile Analysis
Published: 8 June 2021| Version 1 | DOI: 10.17632/y5pfrkysfm.1
JianPing Ma
This study explored the different categories of children's self-esteem through a latent profile analysis and examined the internal and external characteristics of children's self-esteem. A questionnaire survey was administered to 1189 children aged 8–15 years. Latent profile analysis was performed on the potential types of self-esteem. Pearson correlation and variance analysis were performed to explore the relationships and the differences in self-esteem categories on all outcomes. Children's self-esteem could be divided into four categories: lower, low, high, and higher. There were significant differences among the four groups of children at the level of internalization and externalization. Negative internalization showed a successive decrease for the lower, low, high and higher groups. Positive internalization increased sequentially for the lower, low (or high group), and higher groups. Positive externalization was the highest in children with higher self-esteem. Latent profile analysis distinguished the latent categories of children's self-esteem and provided a new perspective for research on this field. Improving self-esteem can reduce negative emotions and behavior, but it does not increase positive emotions and behavior.
The research participants were Chinese children who were recruited through cluster sampling. A total of 1350 children from grades three to eight in four primary and secondary schools were selected for the questionnaire survey. The identity of the children was kept anonymous. Questionnaires with missing items, and those that were irregularly completed, were rejected, whereafter 1189 valid questionnaires remained, with an effective response rate of 88.70%. The average of this sample was 12.38 years (SD = 1.52). There were 570 male students (48.06%), 616 female students (51.94%), and three persons with undisclosed gender. There were 86 students in grade three (7.23%), 115 students in grade four (9.67%), 101 students in grade five (8.49%), 99 students in grade six (8.33%), 415 students in grade seven (34.90%), and 373 students in grade eight (31.37%). In this study, a self-rating scale was used to measure the sample, and a psychology graduate student was used as the main researcher. Prior to the beginning of the study, the informed consent of the school and the students was obtained.

Lava Shell Rescue - What Is It?
Lava Shell Rescue Massage is a combination of deep tissue massage using hot Lava Shells to relax muscles and cool Glacial Shells to reduce inflammation. The LavaGel sachets inserted into the shells contain natural ingredients which are non-toxic and biodegradable (see below for details of ingredients).
Applying a blend of deep tissue massage and trigger point work, combined with soothing massage strokes and the application of glacial shells, this is the perfect massage for muscular conditions. The specialised deep tissue massage techniques target trigger points in muscles which are responsible for tension and referred pain. Tight muscle tissue is due to the natural defence process of the body to prevent further muscle injury/damage taking place. Lava Shell Rescue is used to assist pain relief and reduce muscle spasm on overuse injuries. Alternating between hot and cold will cause the blood vessels to alternate between constriction and dilation. The end result will be a dramatic increase in circulation to the area being treated.
The perfect treatment to help with inflammation caused by day-to-day stresses and strains or sports-related injuries.
The application of the Glacial Shell will conduct heat away from the superficial and deep tissues of the body, which will result in a reduction in body temperature. The immediate skin surface will reduce in temperature rapidly, but the deeper tissues will decrease slower and will continue to decrease even after the shell has been removed from the area being treated.
It is the ideal massage for treating fitness-related aches and pains, as the specialised deep tissue massage techniques target trigger points in muscles which are responsible for tension and referred pain.
See Lava Shell Relax for physiological effects of warming the body's tissues.
What to Expect During a Lava Rescue Session?
Lava Shell Rescue combines heat from Lava Shells and manual manipulation of the muscles, together with the application of cool Glacial Shells, enabling a deeper massage to be performed.
The massage takes place on the massage couch and both Lava Shells and Glacial Shells are heated and chilled with a sachet containing a blend of food grade minerals inside.
The ingredients contained within the Hot Lava Shell sachet are magnesium, iron, sea kelp, marine algae, lava rock and lava gel. This is then activated with a saline solution (also containing lavender oil) causing an exothermic reaction. The ingredients contained within the Glacial Shell sachet are sea kelp, marine algae and lava gel. Added to this is the liquid activator, containing purified water.
A choice of nourishing massage oils or wax-based product is used and will be discussed prior to the start of your treatment. The massage oil/wax enables me to provide a free-flowing massage and work into areas of tension. Towels are carefully placed to ensure your modesty and keep you warm and comfortable throughout the treatment.
Lava Shell Rescue can be tailored to your needs for a truly therapeutic and beneficial 60 or 90 minute session.
