1.15.1 What size does the central part of Fuerteventura have?
1.15.2 How many inhabitants has Puerto del Rosario?
1.15.3 When was the town hall of Puerto del Rosario born?
1.16.0.1 -The olive was capital of the island from 1834 until 1956, after Puerto del Rosario was named capital of the island.
Thanks to its central location, easily reachable from the north and from the south of the island, Puerto del Rosario is the most important area of Fuerteventura.
It is a key for the development of the island’s economy, as there are several business and commercial activities, which make up most of the market exchanges of the island.
The city Hall accomodates the international Airport of Fuerteventura, which counts with more than 6 million passengers only in 2017.
What size does the central part of Fuerteventura have?
How many inhabitants has Puerto del Rosario?
When was the town hall of Puerto del Rosario born?
According to a nineteenth century manuscript, the town hall of La Oliva was founded in 1500 by the Hernández brothers, who resided at Bethancuria, and chose the area to live there during the sowing period.
From the eighteenth century La Oliva converted into the residence of “Los Coroneles”, the maximum political charge of the island of Fuerteventura and large landowners of the same, destined for the production of grain.
At the time the economic activities of the island of Fuerteventura, as of this area were agriculture and fishing.
Starting from the twentieth century, from the 60/70’s the island and the town hall of La Oliva began to transform thanks to the arrival of what has become today the main economic activity: Tourism in Fuerteventura. Thanks to the different hotels and tourist facilities, the North area of Fuerteventura has become one of the main destinations for tourism!

P'o Mo translates from the Chinese as 'poured or splashed ink' - a technique developed by Tang Dynasty artists in 7th, 8th and 9th century China. Modern Chinese painters sometimes dip a sheet of rice paper into a shallow trough containing water and ink. Others may put colors on a dish and then tip the dish over on rice paper. They then create a landscape incorporating the ink marks.

Would you know what to do if someone nearby went into cardiac arrest?
If you’re afraid of finding yourself in a situation where you’d need to perform life-saving CPR, you’re part of the majority. A recent survey found that most Americans lack trust in their ability to perform CPR without injuring the casualty, thinking special training is required.
But in reality? Far more harm comes from doing nothing. Knowing how to properly administer CPR is an especially valuable skill as a caregiver of someone with a serious health condition such as heart disease or an aggressive cancer like mesothelioma. People with serious conditions like these are at a much higher risk of sudden collapse.
Statistics show that 70 to 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur in the home or in public. Under these circumstances, Hands-Only CPR (or CPR without mouth-to-mouth) consists of just 2 steps: Call 911, then push hard and fast. But there is little time to act, as a person can lose consciousness 15 seconds after the heart stops beating. If more civilians knew how critical their role in an emergency, and how safe and simple CPR is to administer, we could as much as double or triple chances of survival among the 350,000 people who suffer cardiac arrests outside hospitals every year. Today, only 11 percent of them survive.
In light of American Heart Month, we’re testing just how well Americans think they know CPR. Although the rules are simple, it’s important to push in the correct area at a minimum speed of 100 beats per minute for the technique to be effective. This rhythm comes with practice, which we think can be aided by a little (likely familiar) music. Using this interactive game, try tapping in time with the beat to get familiar with what 100 bpm sounds and feels like. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237049 | {

Load Generator "Generate Snow Loads - Duopitch Roof"
Load generators are used to easily generate member, area and solid loads.
In addition to the standard-compliant determination of wind loads and snow loads according to EN, CTE, ASCE, and DIN, it is also possible to convert surface loads into member loads. Furthermore, free line loads and coating loads (for example, ice) as well as surface loads on openings can be converted into member loads. In addition, the member, surface and solid loads from motion (brake or acceleration forces et cetera) can be generated automatically.
The load generators are accessible via "Tools" → "Generate Loads." | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237051 | {

The TC1054, TC1055, and TC1186 are high accuracy (typically ±0.5%) CMOS upgrades for older (bipolar) low dropout regulators. Designed specifically for battery-operated systems, the devices’ CMOS construction eliminates wasted ground current, significantly extending battery life. Total supply current is typically 50µA at full load (20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar regulators). The devices’ key features include ultra low noise operation, very low dropout voltage — typically 85mV (TC1054); 180mV (TC1055); and 270mV (TC1186) at full load — and fast response to step changes in load. An error output (ERROR) is asserted when the devices are out-of-regulation (due to a low input voltage or excessive output current). ERROR can be used as a low battery warning or as a processor RESET signal (with the addition of an external RC network). Supply current is reduced to 0.5µA (max) and both VOUT and ERROR are disabled when the shut-down input is low. The devices incorporate both over-temperature and over-current protection. The TC1054, TC1055, and TC1186 are stable with an output capacitor of only 1µF and have a maximum output current of 50mA, 100mA, and 150mA, respectively. For higher output current regulators, please see the TC1173 (IOUT = 300mA) data sheet. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237058 | {

The Scorpionfish (Family Scorpaenidae) contains some fascinating fish, including Genera Pterois, Dendrochirus, and Scorpaenopsis; all are superb masters of camouflage and the ambush predator lifestyle. Here are a few snaps of what I believe are of the three species.
The first fish I have is Scorpaenopsis oxycephala. Ths is the Smallscale Scorpionfish that reaches 36cm in length and is the species I see most often, though very often its superb camouflage means I see the fish when I’m actually photographing something else and my presences finally makes it break cover. This fish is found from the Red Sea to the Great Barrier Reef and down the coast of Eastern Africa. I find that I easily confuse this species with the very similar (and slightly smaller) S. possi, though I believe this fish has a shorter snout. Very often though, I have to balance my desire to get a good ID shot with my artistic aspirations, so sometimes my ID isn’t 100% certain.
Another similar fish is S. diabolus, the Devil Scorpionfish. I find these guys even harder to spot, especially against coral rubble. Divers often get this fish mixed up with Stonefish such as Synanceia verucosa, a fish so well camouflaged that I’ve never actually seen one, despite many hundreds of dives. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237067 | {

Stroke hospital admissions and death rates may be linked to the weather, according to new research.
The findings, presented at the American Stroke Association's International Conference, suggest that more people are likely to have a stroke, and die from it, where there are big changes in air temperatures and higher humidity.
Dr Madina Kara, neuroscientist at the Stroke Association, said: “This research suggests that low temperatures increase peoples’ risk of stroke, and can lead to more patients dying after a stroke. Previous studies have indicated that that colder temperatures can be linked to increased blood pressure, especially in older people. High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor for stroke and it is essential that people have regular checks to make sure their blood pressure is under control.
The team identified a nationwide sample of 134,510 people admitted to hospitals in 2009-10 for ischemic stroke, the most common type which is caused by a blood clot that blocks blood flow in or leading to the brain.
They compared the information with data on the weather including temperature and dew point - indicating higher air moisture and humidity - at the time.
The researchers found larger daily temperature changes and higher average humidity were associated with higher stroke hospitalisation rates. Lower average annual temperatures were linked with stroke hospitalisations and death, said the study.
With each 1°F increase in average temperature, there was approximately a one per cent drop in the odds of stroke hospitalisation and dying in the hospital after stroke. Increases in daily temperature fluctuation and average dew point pushed up the risk of going to hospital with a stroke, but not of dying in the hospital. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237072 | {

The International Space Station orbits the earth approximately every 90 minutes. Travelling at 17,239.2mph, it moves too fast to be viewed by telescopes, but can be seen by the naked eye or best using a good set of binoculars.
The ISS can be recognised by it’s brightness, appearing to the naked eye like a bright fast-moving star as it reflects the suns light with a solid glow in the pre-dawn or post-dusk sky. If it passes overhead in the daytime, or in full darkness with no captured sunlight to reflect, it won’t be visible.
The ISS moves at about the same apparent speed as an airplane through the sky against a backdrop of real stars.
The ISS is usually visible about once a month from most locations, for a duration of a few days, with each visibility lasting around 5 minutes.
The ISS is an international project operated by Europe, the United States, Russia, Japan and Canada. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237074 | {

Neonates delivered by scheduled Cesarean Section will be randomized to receive vaginal seeding (exposing the infant to Mother's vaginal flora) or sham. Infants will be followed for three years to examine health outcomes including microbiome development, immune development, metabolic outcomes, and any adverse events.
Cesarean section (CS) delivery is a common surgical procedure intended to increase the chances of successful delivery and to protect the health of the mother and baby. Yet this intervention is overused and has been associated with higher risk of immune and metabolic disorders in the offspring. It is hypothesized that these associations are due to CS-delivered newborns not receiving the full inoculum of maternal microbes at birth.
While restoring labor is not possible, restoring the microbes that colonize infants during birth through exposure to vaginal flora, is feasible, and has been shown in a small pilot study, to normalize the microbiota of the intestine, skin and mouth during the first month of life.
The investigators hypothesize that the restoration of the vaginal microbiota to the infant at birth will restore the infant microbiome and decrease the risk of obesity and other immune-mediated diseases linked with CS. The investigators aim to test this hypothesis in a randomized controlled trial by first examining the effect of vaginal seeding, in CS-delivered newborns, on the gut microbiota composition, structure and function (Phase I of study; first 50 infants) and then on the BMI z score and other immune-mediated outcomes (Phase II of study; 600 infants).
Methods: CS-delivered neonates will be randomized to either an experimental arm with exposure to the maternal vaginal microbiota at birth, or a control arm with no exposure. Feces, skin and vaginal swabs will be collected for microbiome analysis. The investigators will obtain clinical information from in-person visits, surveys and the electronic health record.
Implications: this randomized controlled clinical study will provide evidence of whether the "vaginal seeding" procedure can safely transfer microbes from mom-to-baby, and whether these microbes are beneficial for the metabolic and immune health of the child.
A gauze containing the Mother's vaginal flora will be swabbed over the face and body of the neonate shortly after cesarean delivery.
A gauze carrying sterile saline will be swabbed over the face and body of the neonate shortly after cesarean delivery. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237075 | {

Spring is in the air and with the warm temperature creeping in, this is a sure sign of one thing to come…school’s out for summer! For many, this is a time of year we look forward to, but it can also be a difficult time for our kiddos with ADHD that benefit from the structure and routine that school provides Monday through Friday. Check out these useful tips to help ward off the “I’m bored” summer bug.
Keep them happy campers: There are many summer camps out there that range from 1 week to several months long. Figure out what would work best for your family. This allows your child time to burn off some energy and engage in social interactions in a structured, monitored environment. Contact your local YMCA or park district for local camps or classes offered near you.
Keep morning routines the same: When kids know what to expect in the morning, it can help to limit meltdowns.
Post a weekly schedule of activities: These can range from very simple tasks like chores and reading to more involved activities like an outing to the park or museum. Make your child part of this so they feel empowered too! This can also be helpful for your child’s sitter if both parents are working.
Plan for at least one success a day: Let your child pick activities they enjoy doing (or do well J) and give praise for their work. Give them an opportunity to tell you about what they did, too!
Join a sport: Many times a child with ADHD may do better in an individual sport. If you child has a low frustration tolerance, difficulty following directions, or acts before thinking, think about enrolling your kiddo in martial arts, golf or bowling!
Cook together:Waiting for instructions (inhibition), trying to remember the directions (working memory) and measuring and counting steps (sustained-attention) all help to develop executive functioning skills.
Have a fun and organized summer! | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237078 | {

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was a famous American journalist, essayist, critic of American life and culture, and a scholar of American English. An expert in so many fields, he was called "the Baltimore Sage." At the age of 22, Mencken became managing editor of the Morning Herald in his hometown of Baltimore. But it was not only through his work as a journalist that he was "as famous in America as George Bernard Shaw was in England." The influential literary critic helped launch the Southern and Harlem literary renaissances. With his literary journal The Smart Set, Mencken paved the way for writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eugene O’Neill, Sinclair Lewis, Theodore Dreiser, and James Joyce. He also wrote several books, most notably his monumental study The American Language.
“The two main ideas that run through all of my writing, whether it be literary criticism or political polemic are these: I am strong in favor of liberty and I hate fraud.” (source) His spirited defense of the freedom of speech and of the press almost landed him in jail when he fought against the banning of his second literary journal, The American Mercury.
This interview above was conducted by Mencken's colleague Donald Howe Kirkley of The Baltimore Sun in a small recording room at the Library of Congress in Washington on June 30, 1948. It gives you a rare chance to hear his voice. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237079 | {

Weighty Matters: So What Happens to Employee Health After a Year of Treadmill Desk Walking?
Not as much as one might hope or guess.
This month's Obesity journal details a year long study conducted at a financial services corporation in Minneapolis where 36 sedentary office workers had their desks swapped with treadmill desks.
The treadmill desks cost roughly $126,000 ($3,500 or so a piece - that's a photo of one up above from Steelcase) so no doubt any company considering making this switch will want to evaluate the outcomes.
Well it isn't about to help folks lose piles of weight, but maybe a teeny tiny bit. As far as statistically significant differences go there were four. A 3lb weight loss, a 7% rise in HDL, a 1.6 inch decrease in waist circumference and a 3 point drop in systolic blood pressure.
As far as impact on activity and sedentary time goes - a $3,500 treadmill desk led workers to take on average 852 more steps a day and decrease their sedentary time by 43 minutes a day.
The desks weren't found to lead to any changes in workplace performance (for the better or for the worse).
1. Would these extremely modest improvements lead to sufficient health care savings so as to be cost effective enough for a corporation to consider the desks' capital cost outlay?
2. How/why did having a treadmill desk in place of a sitting one only lead participants to be 43 minutes less sedentary and increase their daily steps by just 852? | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237080 | {

We also offer an annual online safety workshop for parents and carers, fronted by Miss Wallis and CEOP trained members of North Yorkshire Police to ensure parents and carers feel comfortable with the ever changing advice around online safety.
How can parents/carers help at home?
New technology is transforming our world. Computers, the internet, and mobile phones are now such a part of everyday life that it is hard to imagine how we coped without them.
However, technology is not all positive, and an awareness of the downsides and risks is essential. As a parent you should be aware of the dangers, so you can monitor, support and advise your children. It is impossible and possibly unreasonable to “ban” your son or daughter from accessing these technologies, but it is important that you discuss with them what the dangers are, and help them to understand the risks.
The tabs contain some key information you should be aware of, and provides links to other sites that give more detailed information. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237082 | {

Lyme disease may spike in the northeastern US this spring due to a change in acorn crops, according to a disease ecologist.
Dr. Richard Ostfeld, a Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies ecologist, says this rise in the bacterial infection will be due to decreasing acorn crops and white-footed mice populations, said the Examiner.
Researchers at the Insitute say a bumper crop of acorns in 2010 caused mouse populations to dramatically increase in 2011, along with a surge in the tick population - the insect that carries the disease. In 2011, the acorn crop dropped off leaving fewer mice but many more ticks, said the Associated Press.
“We had a boom in acorns, followed by a boom in mice. And now, on the heels of one of the smallest acorn crops we’ve ever seen, the mouse population is crashing. This spring, there will be a lot of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected black-legged ticks in our forests looking for a blood meal. And instead of finding a white-footed mouse, they are going to find other mammals — like us,” said Ostfeld during a presentation Tuesday at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases, according to Medical Daily.
Due to frequent tick bites, mice harbor Lyme disease more than other small mammals, yet without any harm to them.
The disease, which was first discovered in 1975 in Connecticut, is a bacterial infection common to the northeastern US that causes skin lesions and chronic neurological and rheumatological symptoms.
Cases of Lyme disease are expected to spike in the northeast this summer due to a change in crops. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237088 | {

In Chinese culture, the dragon represents good luck, strength and power. Especially in the Southern region of China, people believes that a dragon can ward off evil and brings good luck.
Dragon is a significant icon in Chinese and other Asian cultures. During Chinese New Year and other auspicious occasion, people celebrate with Dragon dancing and if you are born in the Year of the Dragon, you are considered to give you a head start in life. The Arowana, also known as the Dragon fish because of its slender body and its distinct and reflective scales makes it resemble the mythical and mighty dragon. Business man started keeping the Arowana, especially the Asian Arowana to maintain a properous and growing business. Geomancer often would encourage their clients to keep a Blood Red Arowana at home or office to bring good luck and ward off evil. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237089 | {

The essential elements of informed consent to research include the provision of relevant information to a person who is competent to make a decision, and who is situated so as to be able to do so voluntarily. The nature of the requirement of voluntariness has been resistant to exploration. Concerns about voluntariness are usually invoked under the rubrics of coercion or undue influence. Coercion can be conceptualized as the use of morally unjustified threats to bring a person to consent to research participation. Undue influence in the research context typically involves the use of affirmative inducements to persuade a person to ignore what would otherwise be their preferences regarding research participation. Talcott Parsons noted four means by which influence may be exercised, involving respectively the use of appeals to shared goals, inducement, persuasion, and power. In the context of human subjects research, evocation of shared goals may be manifest by appeals to altruism; inducement by offers to provide incentives; persuasion by the application of interpersonal pressure or by an exhortation to self-interest; and power by the issuance of threats. Appeals to altruism, if honestly framed, are unlikely ever to constitute illegitimate constraints on choice, but the other categories can be more problematic. A final component of this conceptualization of voluntariness is the recognition that constraints on decision-making can be actual or perceived. Actual offers, pressure, or threats reflect the behavior of other people who are trying to affect the subject's decision. However, there is often a dichotomy between the behaviors of others and a subject's perception of those behaviors. Hence, both actual and perceived constraint are relevant. Perceptions are the mediating variable between behaviors of others and their impact on subjects' decisions; this approach has proven fruitful in studies of voluntariness in other contexts. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237093 | {

Many more Tennesseans work in clean energy than you may realize.
A new study shows that Tennessee is a leader in clean energy job creation, and recent policy developments could accelerate clean energy job growth significantly.
The EPA recently released the final version of the Clean Power Plan, the first federal rule limiting existing power plants’ carbon dioxide emissions – the leading pollutant driving manmade climate change.
This represents a giant leap in the right direction for Tennessee and the nation as a whole. The Clean Power Plan will lead America into a cleaner energy future with improved air quality and public health, along with initiatives to significantly reduce utility bills paid by residents and businesses.
However, another important benefit of the Clean Power Plan is that it is expected to cause a boom in clean energy job creation. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237095 | {

Remember back in Kindergarten when they made you pair up with a “Buddy?” You were supposed to hold hands with your Buddy, stay together, do the same things, and generally watch out for each other. Now, whose brilliant idea was it for two 5-year-olds to be left in charge of each other? Of course, the teacher was still in charge, and the two kids were not actually responsible for each other, but pairing them up as buddies did make them accountable to each other, and that system is not only brilliant, but it works at any age.
Any time that you are doing something that you’re a little frightened of, something that’s new, something that’s difficult, something for which you need a little help, pair yourself up with a Buddy! It’s a great idea to find yourself a more experienced person who can mentor you through the experience, but mentoring has it’s limits. You also need to find someone who is at your level, who can go through it with you, and help you through the tough parts. At the same time, you’ll be responsible to them to help them through the rough parts as well, and that will help you, too.
All the successful recovery programs incorporate accountability, but it is not completely necessary to join a national organization to find accountability for yourself. Just find yourself a “Buddy” and agree to help each other through whatever it is. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237098 | {

David Allan, Tina Blythe, Alan Dichter and I collaborated on a new book, to be published by TC Press in 2018.
We wrote this for educators to use with students of all ages. Included are vignettes from 12 teachers across the country who are using protocols in class, with students.
I was thrilled to be interviewed and to contribute writing to David Allen's and Tina Blythe's latest book. It is full of concrete ways for teachers to work through challenges so they can truly collaborate.
In Chapter 11, "Voice of Experience," I write about how facilitating groups is analogous to hosting Thanksgiving dinner.
Protocols can--and should--be adapted to suit the needs of the group.
As a result of my work across teams and schools, I came up with some routines and rituals to make efficient use of time. I also tweaked a data protocol to make it more accessible to teachers. Both are included in the third edition of this seminal book.
I invited researchers into my high school classroom to collaboratively plan a lesson, then record and reflect the results. Chapter 7 illustrates the successes and "pivotal" failures of our work together with my 10th grade Humanities students. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237101 | {

This course is designed to give students a better idea of a wide spectrum of the possibilities in contemporary drawing, and how it can inform their own work. Assignments will be geared toward expanding the student’s notions of drawing, both technically and conceptually. Using ink as a primary medium to explore technique and concept we will experiment with creative drawing practices. Traditional approaches like still life and life drawing will be de-emphasized in order to find other sources for making work that are more self directed. These projects will include working from formal components of a photograph to manipulate elements of design; creating an image bank, and using transparency and layering. Our exercises are designed to expand students’ ideas of how they can create drawing, and further their own work. Slide presentations and discussions will show students how other artists use drawing in challenging formats.
Utilizing ink material techniques in contemporary drawing.
Learning to evaluate one’s own work through group critiques finding one’s own voice in the field of contemporary drawing.
Drawing as a Contemporary Practice is an intermediate to advanced course so students will generally work with the drawing media that suits their projects. That said, I also want this course to encourage the students to expand their experience in drawing in relation to materials, form, and content.
Sketchbook. At least 11 x 14 inches but if transport convenience is a factor you could go with the 9 x 12 in.

In this paper is presented a developed model for a pollutant diffusion in a soil-water system, for specific conditions in a real study area. A model that allows the observations of the pollutant flow in the soil-water system and its behavior and interaction with the different system elements, is searched with the purpose of orientate and support the processes and techniques application for the pollutant soil and water remediation. The basic model conditions are: 1) The pollutant is introduced to the soil. 2) The pollutant flows from the soil to the water. 3) The introduced pollutant concentration is variable during the process. 4) The pollutant may saturate the soil. 5)The pollutant is adsorbed by the soil. 6) The model is developed in 2D, with the possibility to be expanded to 3D. The model uses a cellular automata that contains different zones with their own function rules. There are four considerate zones: i) Introduction of the pollutant zone. ii) Soil zone (a porous media). iii) Soil-water interaction zone. iv) Water zone. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237113 | {

Objects found In the waters of the Solent show that people once lived in a landscape that is now covered by the sea. Aubrey sets out to uncover the secret of this flood – and his investigation takes him all the way to Scotland.
In Shetland a series of monumental but mysterious stone towers, called Brochs, once dominated the landscape. Aubrey hunts for answers to the questions of who built the towers, when they did so, and most of all why.
On the Romney Marsh in Kent, there are ruined churches in the middle of fields, and tales of towns lost at sea. Searching for what happened to these lost communities, Aubrey uncovers an extraordinary series of disasters.
Strange grooves in the rocks on the North Yorkshire coast are the starting point for Aubrey’s quest to understand what took place on this deserted coastline. He discovers the answer has shaped the whole landscape we see there today.
On the sloping sides of Glastonbury Tor are a series of mysterious terraces. Could they even be fortifications built by King Arthur? Aubrey investigates both the terraces and the myths, and discovers a link he hadn’t suspected. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237114 | {

Background & Objective: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It represents mild, moderate and severe effects of physical assault to brain which may cause sequential, primary or secondary ramifications. Primary injury can be due to the first physical hit, blow or jolt to one of the brain compartments. The primary injury is then followed by secondary injury which leads to biochemical, cellular, and physiological changes like blood brain barrier disruption, inflammation, excitotoxicity, necrosis, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and generation of oxidative stress. Apart from this, there is also an immediate increase in glutamate at the synapses following severe TBI. Excessive glutamate at synapses in turn activates corresponding NMDA and AMPA receptors that facilitate excessive calcium influx into the neuronal cells. This leads to the generation of oxidative stress which further leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation and oxidation of proteins and DNA. As a consequence, neuronal cell death takes place and ultimately people start facing some serious disabilies.
Conclusion: In the present review we provide extensive overview of the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress and its fatal effects on brain after TBI.

Year 3 have been learning about where different countries are this half term as part of their ‘Around the World’ topic. As part of the European day of languages on Wednesday 26th September we developed our learning from our topic lesson and learnt how to say hello in 9 different languages and looked at the flags for each country. We wrote the country next to each flag and practised singing a song to help us learn the different greetings.
Year Four had a great time learning about the number of countries and languages in Europe. We used our research skills to find out how to say Hello and goodbye in different European countries. We then created a table or list of the greetings we discovered and shared them with each other. We found out that some European countries do not use the same writing systems as we do in Britain. We were particularly fascinated with the Greek and Russian writing systems.
Year 5 played a matching game where they had to match phrases to the country and its flag. We had children demonstrating their knowledge of other languages and enjoyed hearing fluent Polish and Portuguese being spoken. It was useful to use our knowledge of other languages to try to work out what the phrases might mean.
To celebrate European Day of Languages 2018, Year 6 completed fact files about a European country that they were interested in. This gave us lots of new knowledge about some countries that we did not know much about. Some of us used our dictionary skills to learn that certain words that we use in everyday speech have a European origin. For example, we learnt that the word ‘very’ originates from France and means ‘extremely’. Year 6 also completed a quiz which tested their knowledge of the celebration. We were fascinated to learn that there are over 200 European languages spoken! | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237118 | {

Another news item from Wanttoknow.info(for the full ABC news article click here): “Scientists are boldly going where only fiction has gone before to develop a Cloak of Invisibility. It isn’t quite ready to hide a Romulan space ship from Capt. James T. Kirk or to disguise Harry Potter, but it is a significant start and could show the way to more sophisticated designs. In this first successful experiment, researchers from the United States and England were able to cloak a copper cylinder. It’s like a mirage, where heat causes the bending of light rays and cloaks the road ahead behind an image of the sky. “We have built an artificial mirage that can hide something from would-be observers in any direction,” said cloak designer David Schurig, a research associate in Duke University’s electrical and computer engineering department. Cloaking used special materials to deflect radar or light or other waves around an object, like water flowing around a smooth rock in a stream. The new work points the way for an improvd version that could hide people and objects from visible light. Conceptually, the chance of adapting the concept to visible light is good, Schurig said in a telephone interview. But, he added, “From an engineering point of view it is very challenging.” The cloaking of a cylinder from microwaves comes just five months after Schurig and colleagues published their theory that it should be possible. In an ideal situation, the cloak and the item it is hiding would be invisible. An observer would see whatever is beyond them, with no evidence the cloaked item exists. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237133 | {

This study examined the poems written by a poet called Hanshan(寒山) during Tang Dynasty in China. Most of all, a focus was heavily placed on his poems with strong sense of Buddhism from all of his works. For the research method, analysis was chosen upon the pattern of truth-pursuing process in the poet throughout the four steps of devotion, commandment, samsara and nirvana. At the section of 'Devotion' in the Section 1 of Chapter 2, the space for devotion of asceticism and Zen mediation by the poet was examined. At the 'Commandment' in the Section 2, the study investigated what type of Buddhist commandment the poet abided by. At the 'Samsara' in the Section 3, the poet's perspectives on the world of Samsara with previous life, current life and after-life were examined. At the 'Nirvana' in the Section 4, the study looked into what stage of nirvana the poet accomplished. Throughout the study described above, the study delivered the following observations upon the pattern of truth-pursuing process in the poet: First, the poet looked into his inner self by practicing meditation for a substantial time by employing the high mountains and deep valleys as his place to practice asceticism. Second, he adamantly complied with the Buddhist commandment stipulating not to covet meat, alcohol or woman. Third, he viewed eternal cycle of birth as a pain which should be escaped from through asceticism. Fourth, it was found that he attained nirvana where he leisurely enjoyed Taoism along with the nature after completely escaping from all agonies and restrictions. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237136 | {

Diabetes UK has published a new analysis highlighting that 6,836 children and young adults are reported to have Type 2 diabetes in England and Wales. This figure is far higher than the 715 children and young people under the age of 25 receiving care for Type 2 diabetes from Paediatric Diabetes Units in England and Wales, as more than 6,000 cases treated in primary care were also taken into account. With 34% of children in England overweight or obese by the time they leave primary school, Diabetes UK argues that thousands more could be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in the next few years. Diabetes UK used the figures to call on the NHS to provide appropriate specialist services to support children and young people with Type 2 diabetes to manage the condition and reduce the risk of serious complications. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237137 | {

With the anniversary of the start of the First World War next year there is a lot of work going on to make records from that period more accessible.
"Find a soldier's will" is a new service from the government which aims to make it possible to search for and download a soldier's will on-line. Coverage is for serving soldiers who died between 1850 and 1986 and who left a will at the time of their death.
It seems possible (hopefully) that the service will expand in the future to include all wills.
To search you need the soldiers surname and the year he died - if you don't know when he died you can search each year (and there is a handy link to search the previous or following year so you don't have to keep entering the year). If you have more information you can search using the service number and forename to narrow down your search.
Each will costs £6 to download and it takes time - up to 10 days before it will be available. I suspect, as it is early days, the wills are being uploaded as they are requested and not in advance. Hopefully in the future they will be available immediately.
As the website says this is the beta version so it will no doubt change but hopefully not much as it is a nice clear, uncluttered site, easy to use and to understand.
Although I know of several members of the family who died in both World Wars there are no entries for them. It is not clear if this is this because they didn't leave wills or because they have yet to be added to the index?
All told this is a great addition to First World War information online. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237138 | {

Improving the gut microbiota could improve sleep quality, as the gut bacteria also produce melatonin that the brain uses to regulate sleep.
Probiotics have a long history of improving digestive and immune health, but every day researchers are uncovering more about how probiotics can improve other aspects of life outside the gut, including skin health, women’s health, muscle health and brain health. Gut bacteria can not only affect the gut, but also the mind. The gut microbiome can influence neural development, brain chemistry and emotional behavior. Gut bacteria produce neurochemicals such as serotonin, dopamine and acetylcholine that the brain uses to regulate memory, learning and mood. Psychological stress from tests, exams, an important office meeting, public speaking or even the weekend game of a person’s favorite sports team can create gastric discomfort resulting in diarrhea in some people, while others become constipated. While the gut bacteria affect the brain, the brain can also profoundly impact the gut microbiome. It’s a two-way street, the gut-brain-axis.
5) increase intake of sleep-promoting nutrients, including probiotics.
Improving the gut microbiota could improve sleep quality, as the gut bacteria also produce melatonin that the brain uses to regulate sleep. Inflammation is negatively correlated to sleep, and probiotics can also help manage a healthy inflammatory response.
There are many probiotic products out there, but which ones have the scientific evidence to improve sleep and brain health? A new study submitted for publication suggests a multi-strain probiotic containing three different Lactobacilli and one Bifidobacterium (L. fermentum LF16, L. rhamnosus LR06, L. plantarum LP01, and B. longum 04), might be an optimal combination. The study examined the effects of six weeks of probiotic supplementation in healthy, young women on both psychological well-being (e.g., feelings of depression, anxiety or cognitive reactivity to sad mood) and quality of sleep. At the end of the study, probiotic supplementation was associated with observed improvements in mood, depressive feelings, anger, fatigue and sleep quality. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237146 | {

Photograph of a carved pillar at Tunka, Jhansi District of Uttar Pradesh, part of the Archaeological Survey of India Collections: Indian Museum Series, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1880s-90s. The district of Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh was ruled by a succession of dynasties under several different names, the most noted being the Chandella kings who ruled from the 9th to the 12th centuries. The majority of the Hindu and Jain temples that remain date to this period. The area was renamed Jhansi in the 17th century when it rose to power under the Raja Bir Singh Deo of Orchha, who built the fort in 1613 that the city was named after. Historically, Jhansi is often remembered for the young patriotic queen Lakshmi Bai, also known as the Rani of Jhansi, who became a national symbol of resistance to British rule. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237148 | {

Patients often ask me, “You know, is my child going to end up being farsighted, nearsighted? No glasses?” A lot of it depends on the family. Nearsightedness and farsightedness is often inherited. So if you’re the parent and your nearsighted, there’s a good chance one of your kids may be nearsighted. What’s interesting also is that at birth most of us are farsighted, we’re a little farsighted. Even if you end up nearsighted, most of us are a little farsighted. And that doesn’t bother young children, because when you’re farsighted, your eyesight is a little short and the natural lens can focus and put the image in focus. So we’re all born a little farsighted, most of us – not everybody, but most of us – are a little farsighted and then the eye grows and then we’re sort of neutral. And if you’re going to go nearsighted, when you’re about 8 or 9 years old, eye grows a little too much and you become nearsighted. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237154 | {

Agricultural operations are hazardous by nature and special protections need to be in place to protect youth and untrained workers from the hazards found in specific jobs, locations, and practices. With proper job assignments, training, adequate supervision, occupational health and safety education appropriate for the age and developmental level of the learner, and consistent enforcement of work rules, farm work can provide safe and valuable introductory work experiences, and important income opportunities.
The Model Policy: Youth Employment in Agriculture can be used “as is” or modified for agricultural company purposes. The model policy includes voluntary guidelines for hired young farmworkers. Parents who own or operate a farm where their children may engage in farm work activities may find these general guidelines to be useful, as well. This policy addresses traditional agricultural operations, which encompass predominantly field operations, packing of same-farm produced products, and barn-work. For our purposes “young” workers refers to individuals who are 14 through 17 years of age.

The very long search for a true likeness of Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England for just 9 days, could possibly be at an end. The 16th century portrait kept in a house at South London for many years has excited art experts, some of whom are convinced, that it is the real thing, other needless to say, are far from sure.
Is this the girl who was Queen of England for just 9 days? Lady Jane Grey was put on the thrown in an attempt to prevent the accession of the Catholic Mary Tudor, but when Mary became Queen, she sent Jane to the Tower of London where she was beheaded. It had been thought that no contemporary portrait of the '9 Day Queen' survived, until now!
The case seems certain, not least because the name on the picture 'Lady Jane' could only be one of four people for this period in the 16th Century, but there are also clues in the decorations on her costume, the Fleur-de-Lis, (her mother the Queen of France), and a flower pattern that is the symbol of the Marquis of Dorset (who were her ancestors).
A terraced house in South London was the unlikely setting for this discovery. The wider art world has yet to pass judgment on the identity of the young woman, but the work has been dated to the 16th Century. The turbulent period of English history in which Lady Jane Grey played her brief but dramatic part has never lost its fascination. The discovery of this portrait can only add to the enduring appeal. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237161 | {

NOAA participates in the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, launched in 2010 to protect and restore the largest system of fresh surface water in the world — the Great Lakes.
The Rouge River has come a long way since its 1987 designation as an EPA Area of Concern.
NOAA and partners celebrated the successful conclusion of a dam removal project in Wayne, Michigan. The Wayne Road project moves the Rouge River one step closer to losing its Area of Concern designation. Formerly on the nation’s "Top 10" list of most-polluted rivers, today the Rouge is a popular destination for river recreation.
The City of Wayne hosted the event last week, showcasing the successful conclusion of the Wayne Road Dam Removal and Habitat Improvement Project. NOAA funded the project under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The Alliance of Rouge Communities led the project with technical guidance from the NOAA Restoration Center.
Removing the obsolete dam was just the beginning. Citizens and volunteers inspired by the project reclaimed neglected parkland, created and extended bike trails, and held events to inform neighbors about river-keeping.
Through a series of restoration projects more than 121 miles of river have been restored. By improving fish passage and eliminating runoff and point source pollution, water quality has steadily improved. Trout, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye now access upriver habitat for the first time in more than a century.
Michigan’s U.S. Senator Stabenow (in red) spoke at the Wayne Road Dam removal celebration, honoring the River Rouge restoration.

Three Way Piece: Points by Henry Moore is a large abstract bronze sculpture located on the south side of the plaza that stretches over Amsterdam Avenue between 116th and 118th Streets on the campus of Columbia University, New York City.
The sculpture was in relatively good condition prior to treatment. Although regular maintenance and renewal of the wax coating had not been performed in recent years, more than half of the bronze was still protected by wax. Where the bronze was exposed to the environment due to erosion of the wax coating, the surface was a pale green color with a lightly powdered texture indicative of active corrosion. In areas where viewers have handled the sculpture to turn it, both the wax and the patina were worn. All other surfaces of the bronze still protected by wax were extremely soiled resulting in a dull dark brown appearance.
We were contracted to perform a conservation treatment of the sculpture. The goal of the treatment was to clean the sculpture to remove old protective wax coatings and loose corrosion products, and apply a new protective wax coating. Photographic and written documentation were performed prior to the treatment and continued through to completion. A written plan for continued maintenance was created to help reduce future deterioration and to increase the longevity of the conservation treatment, thereby reducing future costly conservation treatments. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237171 | {

The Seminar is part of the research work of Ezbet project. The aim of the seminar is to develop social and physical interventions based on the needs assessment of these areas’ community and based on research study and analysis.The seminar includes theoretical sessions to the topics related to Participatory planning, informal settlement in Egypt, strategic planning, top-down & bottom-up policies and planning approaches.
– The community needs based on priorities and categories.
– The tools of effective participatory involvement in the process.
The Workshop is an opportunity for all students from different disciplines to work on actual data of a real running development project as well as to learn more about bottom up approaches in developing countries. Also, they will gain insights into the logic and concepts of other disciplines, which is a very important skill for dealing with real life problems.
Expected Outputs: Define community needs for development and for the different interventions as well as design physical and/or social interventions.
The EZBET Project is an academic project initiated as a joint collaboration between national and international academic institutions (University of Stuttgart – Germany & Ain Shams University – Egypt). The DAAD-funded Ezbet project devotes to the revaluation process in the informal settlements’ development. The project works on two tracks for sustainable development: the social as well as physical development programmes. During educational workshops, information about the habits and the needs of the community are gathered through participatory observation and on-site interviews. Additionally, social and land survey data are collected. This qualitative and quantitative information will form the database for the seminar. Case Study area is Geziert El-Dahab. Geziret el Dahab is an island located in the middle of the running Nile of Egypt with magnificent Overview to the blue water surface. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237172 | {

Astrology is an ancient tradition relating the cycles of the sun, moon and planets to patterns in life. The current Astrological chart is an Earth based view of the solar system. The planets move through the signs at different rates and as such represent those aspects of life that operate on a similar timescale.
The aim of galactic astrology is to extend our astrological frame to encompass the galaxy, moving from an Earth based system to a Sun based system. Galactic Astrology is relatively new, less than 15 years old as a technique. It can allow the true path of an individual in the course of human history to be charted. No longer being exclusively Earth based, the principles can be applied to charts drawn up on other bodies in the Solar System, for that time when humanity may venture beyond the confines of Earth. There are indications that galactic astrology may be rediscovering a level of understanding touched on by the builders of stone circles. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237173 | {

November 16, 2017 – Twice as big as Earth, the super-Earth 55 Cancri e was thought to have lava flows on its surface. The planet is so close to its star, the same side of the planet always faces the star, such that the planet has permanent day and night sides. Based on a 2016 study using data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists speculated that lava would flow freely in lakes on the starlit side and become hardened on the face of perpetual darkness. The lava on the dayside would reflect radiation from the star, contributing to the overall observed temperature of the planet.
Understanding this planet will help us address larger questions about the evolution of rocky planets,” Hu said. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237177 | {

According to the study, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, a particular subset of neurons located in the amygdala – the central nucleus, to be specific – have been found to become activated by frequent alcohol use. The more an individual drinks, the more these neurons are activated and the circuit reinforced, thus driving alcohol use and eventual addiction.
With this finding, researchers at the Scripps Research Institute aimed to see if these neurons could be controlled. They designed a study using rats as their subjects, in which the alcohol-activated neurons express a specific protein, which they labeled. This gave the researchers the unique ability to observe and determine how these neurons behaved. Once they identified the alcohol-activated neurons, the researchers injected a compound that would inactivate the central nucleus of the amygdala only – and it worked incredibly well.
After the compound was injected, the rats completely stopped drinking alcohol compulsively. And the results were long-term; they lasted for the duration of the study during which the rats were monitored. The rats, however, still searched out sugar water, illustrating that the entire reward system of the brain had not been deactivated. Further, the rats did not experience any observable alcohol withdrawal symptoms, such as shaking.
The research team also found that deactivating the neurons did not have an impact on casual or nondependent drinking; it only ceased the addictive drinking.
Following the success of their initial study, the Scripps Research Institute team was tasked with determining how the alcohol-activated neurological circuits form over time, and to determine if this finding is applicable to humans. According to Olivier George, one of the lead researchers, they are already advancing at an alarming rate.
“We are now able to reversibly control these neurons with a laser using optogenetics. We can turn on and off drinking that way. We are also trying to find molecular targets in these neurons that could be targeted for medication development,” said George.
With this groundbreaking new research, the end to alcoholism is in sight – with a permanent solution. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237179 | {

From the reading of Investigations of a Dog by Kafka (1922), a multi-media show has been created to reflect formally and linguistically on the idea of the Module, and from a semantic point of view, to use the module as the basic shape, the primary cell in a multilingual composition.
In a multi-media composition (dance, live music, video, text) freed from hierarchic issues and from traditional dramaturgical developments, we undertake research towards (possible, impossible) harmony in dramatic territories of relation. The Relation between analysis and intention, the Relation among bodies, of bodies with space, between the physical body and the digital body (through videos and sound). While a body is measured through the forms and volumes of an architecture “made to measure for an animal” that seeks a vertical dimension, the other presence remains flattened on the ground, inhabiting the context, filling it with sound. Metaphorically, our reflection revolves on the relation between the individual and power. On the immeasurable distance between individual intention and collective implementation. On the “belatedness” of the individual caused by inclusion in the community. We start out by exploring the concept of Measure, the fundamental shape for our composition, and the concept of latency in the acceptation of the time required for processing. Digital and analog ical, the latency of the body and that of the mind. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237181 | {

Construction contractors are often faced with projects containing multiple units wherein activities repeat from unit to unit. These projects require schedules that ensure the uninterrupted usage of resources from an activity in one unit to a similar activity in the next unit. The critical path method (CPM) cannot assure this requirement because only technical precedence and resource availability constraints are explicitly shown in CPM networks. The repetitive scheduling method (RSM) described in this paper recognizes the technical constraints of CPM and also includes an additional resource continuity constraint to ensure continuous resource usage. RSM is a scheduling methodology that simplifies and generalizes various multiunit scheduling procedures previously proposed by several authors and known by a number of different names. It applies to both vertical and horizontal projects containing either discrete or continuous activities. An RSM schedule is presented graphically as an X-Y plot of a series of production lines, each of which represent a repetitive activity. RSM introduces the control point as a new concept for positioning successive production lines that may either diverge or converge depending upon their relative slopes. The control point between two successive production lines is located toward the first unit in the sequence of units if the lines diverge, and toward the last unit in the sequence if the lines converge. RSM also introduces the controlling sequence of activities as a new concept for the determination of the project duration. This sequence includes activities between control points on successive unit production lines and extends from project start to project finish. The controlling sequence may include both critical and noncritical activities. The combination of of RSM and CPM into one integrated scheduling system is illustrated by an example application. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237182 | {

What exactly is culture and what do you do with it? Mary Miller, who spoke at TINYcon 2018, believes people are a company’s most valuable asset. This recap of her speech discusses culture being an evolving shared mental model for how we make decisions, interact, and deliver value.
Depending on your role in an organization, the concept of self-managed teams may seem either delightfully liberating or like a path to a huge dumpster fire. But when executed and communicated properly, many companies have found success with this structure from both cultural and strategic standpoints.
On a micro level, it might seem like the actions we take day in and day out at our jobs don’t have a large impact on a company as a whole. But when you see the connections between company culture and larger concepts like improved staff retention, employee engagement, and overall job satisfaction, the impact is clear. The everyday happenings in a company’s culture matter, and they can play a large role in success or failure of an organization. Leaders today must face a harsh reality that many employees are not as tied to their jobs, or the company at-large, as in decades past. As younger generations enter the workforce, the modern workplace must focus on company culture, and with it work-life balance, to attract and retain talent. Data supports this, as research by Deloitte found that 94 percent of executives and 88 percent of employees believe a distinct corporate culture is important to a business’ success. But before we go further, let’s start with the basics.
Conventional, mercenary business practices don't prioritize employee happiness. Aaron Burnett, on the other hand, built a thriving company based on an unwavering focus on helpfulness, generosity, and joy.
Data analysts and Human Resources may seem like vastly different departments at some companies. But as Vince Vu said at TINYcon 2018, by working together they can achieve amazing results for employee engagement.
Are you rushing to fill the gap when an employee quits? Do you ever feel caught off guard? Then maybe it's time to re-evaluate how you manage employee exits. Acceleration Partners CEO Robert Glazer shared with us his advice for increasing employee engagement through a 'Mindful Transition' program. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237183 | {

This data set reports measurements of trace gas fluxes of methane (CH4), nitric oxide (N2O), nitrous oxide (NO), carbon dioxide (CO2) from soils at a study site in the Tapajos National Forest (TNF), near the km 83 on the Santarem-Cuiaba Highway south of Santarem, Para, Brazil. Data for root mass and carbon content, soil nitrogen (N), nitrification, and moisture content are also provided. There are five comma-delimited data files with this data set. The research was conducted to test the effects of root mortality on the soil-atmosphere trace-gas fluxes over the course of one year. Root mortality was induced by isolating blocks of land to 1 m depth using trenching and root exclusion screening. Gas fluxes were measured weekly for ten weeks following the trenching treatment and monthly for the remainder of the year. Note: The related data set LBA-ECO TG-07 Soil Trace Gas Flux and Root Mortality, Tapajos National Forest contains the same flux data that were measured weekly for ten weeks following the trenching treatment. This data set also provides the monthly data for the remainder of the year. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237184 | {

You can easily find books and build custom reading lists using the free Find a Book tool. Does your child like fairies? Try fairy tales or fantasy. Do they want to learn more about animals and nature? You can add those books too — all at the right level of challenge that will help your child improve their reading ability. Once you’ve created a list of books, you can get them at a library, bookstore or online retailer.
Enter your Lexile measure. If you don’t know your Lexile measure, you can search for books based on your grade level.
View and refine the search results. As you browse books, click the “Find This Book” button next to the book title to check for availability at the local public library.
Add books to your reading list. You can print the list or email it to yourself, teachers, librarians or anyone else you choose.
For the most part, it’s best to choose books within your child’s Lexile range. Your child will comprehend them better without getting frustrated. However, there are times when you might want to choose books below or above a Lexile reader measure.
Materials with a higher Lexile text measure can be a good challenge for advanced and enthusiastic readers. A hard but interesting book can open the door to other books on the same subject.
Materials with a lower Lexile text measure often helps struggling and reluctant readers to build confidence and skills with less challenging books on their topics of choice.
You can still find books and build reading lists without a Lexile reader measure. Find a Book can estimate a starting Lexile range based on your child’s grade and comfort with the reading materials at that grade level. Then, based on the book search results, you can further refine the Lexile range to select books that best support successful reading.
Lexile measures are a quantitative measure for text complexity. They don’t address whether the book is appropriate for your child’s age. Some books also have a two-letter designation that appears before a Lexile measure called a Lexile Code. This code (for example, AD580L) provides more information about the book’s developmental appropriateness, reading difficulty and common or intended usage. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237200 | {

In 1935 Erwin Schrödinger devised a thought experiment in which he described a paradox of quantum mechanics. A cat was sealed in a box with a flask of poison, a source of radiation and a radiation detector. The flask of poison was linked to the radiation detector and would break if the monitor detected radioactivity. Although the half-life of the radioactive material was known, the precise moment that the radioactive energy was released and the cat became an ex-cat could not be determined in advance. Thus, as long as the box was sealed the cat could be simultaneously alive and dead. Only when the box was opened could the fate of the cat be observed.
Cell therapy products typically are more challenging to ship that traditional pharmaceutical products, you are after all shipping living cells (perhaps a little less challenging than a cat with a flask of poison). Even with robust mitigation strategies temperature excursions do occur; using conventional temperature monitors the manufacturing centre/treatment centre will only discover if there has been a temperature excursion once the shipment of starting material or therapeutic agent has been delivered to its final destination and the shipper opened; similar to the fate of Schrödinger's cat, so while cell therapies are in transit one could assume that they are both within and outside their shipping specification.
TrakCel has integrated with temperature monitors that can provide real-time data and by configuring TrakCel’s platform warnings and alerts can be received should shipping temperatures exceed pre-set parameters. However, to effectively use real-time data, strategies need to be formed for addressing temperature warnings during shipments to prevent temperature excursions. Real-time data is of great value when shipping therapeutic agents (and starting material) from patients who may only have one chance of treatment or if collecting starting material is an invasive procedure which a patient may not want to repeat.
· If access to the shipment is possible how will the current custodian be notified should a temperature warning be issued?
· What can be done, or what equipment is required to return the shipment to the desired temperature at each step of the journey?
· What resources are required to continuously monitor the shipment?
Real-time monitoring can be an effective tool for ensuring that medical supplies arrive within specification. However, the resources and planning required currently preclude this technology from being used for low value shipments; real-time monitoring technology may be suitable for high value products and challenging supply chain models. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237201 | {

There are two types of sinus infections. Short-term, or acute, sinus infections appear and then clear up in a matter of days or weeks. Long-term, or chronic, sinus infections continue for months or keep coming back.
Most short-term sinus infections can be treated medically. Even people with long-term or chronic sinus infections can find relief through medication. But if none of these treatments works for you, sinus surgery may be an option.
If your sinus infection lingers for longer than a week, the cause may be bacterial. In this case, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. Most cases of acute bacterial sinusitis clear up after a course of antibiotics.
Chronic sinus infections can also be treated medically. Depending on how severe your condition is, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.
Some infections may be treatable with medical therapy and/or lifestyle changes, while others may require surgery. Medical treatments are typically tried first. In general, your doctor will suggest surgery only after all other treatments have failed to ease your symptoms.
Ethmoidectomy – helps clear the sinuses located between your eyes and the bridge of your nose.
Maxillary antrostomy – helps the sinuses behind your cheekbones drain more effectively.

Walter Gross was a pianist in bands in the 1930’s and played a short stint with Paul Whiteman. After service in WWII he became an executive at Musicraft Records (1946-47) where he arranged and conducted several sessions, including Rosemary Clooney’s single of Gross’s own “Tenderly” which became a million-seller in the early ’50s.
The story behind “Tenderly” is that Gross was feeling guilty for having been rude to Margaret Whiting at a party where he’d had too much to drink. He wrote a waltz as an apologia to her and asked Jack Lawrence to write the lyrics for what became “Tenderly” (1946). It was introduced by Clark Dennis on record and soon entered the jazz standards repertoire. It was recorded by a host of vocalists and instrumentalists, including Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Nat Cole, Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Kenny Burrell, Lionel Hampton, and Stan Kenton. It was also picked up by the Dominoes and country guitarist Chet Atkins. Joan Crawford sings it over the opening credits in the 1953 film Torch Song. Margaret Whiting never performed it.
None of Gross’ other tunes—“Your Love,” “I’m in a Fog About You” or “Just a Moon Ago”-- compared to “Tenderly.” But he continued to play piano on dates with notables such as Maxine Sullivan and Alec Wilder. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237207 | {

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Ron Sass about the environmental and ecological effects of hurricanes including Hurricane Ike and some more on carbon footprint. Dr. Ron Sass, PhD – Professor Emeritus Rice University Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. In the ’80s, Sass decided he needed a change, and in 1986 he began to look at Earth systems. He soon became involved with the IPCC, set up in 1988 by the United Nations to investigate global warming. Sass led the committee that studied methane emissions from rice paddies, natural wetlands and landfills, primarily from the bacterial decomposition of organic matter, the largest natural source of methane in the atmosphere. (Man-made sources of methane, such as the burning of fossil fuels and cattle ranching, release far more of the gas.) A physical chemist by training, Sass coordinated the efforts of scientists in Thailand, Indonesia, Germany, the Philippines, Japan, China and Australia to measure and halt natural methane emissions. You can stop it completely, actually, he said of the process by which methane escapes rice paddies when they are flooded. The bacteria go dormant when you remove the water. When you reflood it, you’ve got about a three-week period before (the bacteria) really start cranking up again. So timing is critical, he said. You can cut (emissions) down significantly 50 to 60 percent would be fairly simple. His research led to the IPCC’s method for estimating greenhouse gas emissions without fieldwork. Poor countries don’t have enough scientists to go around, said Sass, who has spent significant time wading through rice paddies in China. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237212 | {

Like any urban development practice, which heavily relies on technical expertise and, at the same time, affects a wide range of stakeholders, the implementation of low-carbon mobility suffers from the biases of its planners. Such bias predominantly originates from the fact that the appointed experts may belong to a certain privileged class (based on gender, age or socio-economic class), while the users of public transport systems come from all walks of life. Such a division of perceptions coupled with a ‘top-down’ approach towards service-delivery tends to not only leave out low-income citizens, but also effects the efficiency of investment-heavy projects. To avoid this, local governments are increasingly adopting public participation processes for their transport-related policy, planning and project management.
BRT mimics a metro system by using high-capaci- ty buses on city streets on dedicated lines that travel along at high average speeds. The concept prioritises public transport on urban roads and provides it at a fraction of the cost of a metro system. Today, over 200 cities around the world have such systems, many with different design features, adding up to a total of 407 corridors, serving nearly 33 million passengers per day, and stretching over 5,250 kilometres. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237214 | {

This denarius coin was minted in Rome by moneyer L. Procilius in 80 BC. In ancient Roman religion, Jupiter was the King of the Gods and the God of sky and thunder. He was the equivalent of Zeus to the Greeks. With his wife Juno, he ruled over laws and social order. Juno is depicted on the reverse of this coin holding a shield and spear with a serpent by her feet. Juno could also throw lightning bolts like Jupiter. Her Greek equivalent is Hera and she was called Regina "Queen". As “The Protector” she guarded over the finances of the Empire and had a temple in Rome which was also the mint. Juno was the patroness of marriage and many people believe that the most favorable time to marry is June, named after her.
Beginning in 509 BC, the largest temple in Rome was that of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill. Here, Romans worshipped him alongside Juno and their daughter Minerva. On the roof was a chariot drawn by four horses with Jupiter himself as the charioteer. Temples to Jupiter and Juno were commonly built by the Romans at the center of new cities in their colonies. Jupiter remained Rome's “King of the Gods” until the era of Christianity. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237216 | {

The Jacksonville MSA is a five county metro area located in northern Florida, with the anchoring city of Jacksonville, which is the most populated city in the state. It also has the largest land mass of any city in the continental United States.
Jacksonville is a port city in the northeastern Florida. It is the largest port in the south, and one of the largest ports in the nation. Jacksonville, the anchor city of the Jacksonville MSA, has one of the highest percentages of its population living in the metropolitan area's anchor city in the country.
Jacksonville is the most populated city in the state of Florida, and is the 12th most populated city in America.
Jacksonville is the largest city in the continental United States at over 840 square miles.
Jacksonville has the largest deep water port in the South, as well as the second largest on the East Coast.
Approximately fifteen percent of the population of the Jacksonville metro area speak a language other than English at home.
Asians are the area's largest ethnic group, comprising approximately 40% of the foreign-born population.
The greater Jacksonville area is estimated to have the country's tenth largest Arab population.
The greater Jacksonville area has the largest Filipino population in the state of Florida.
Jacksonville has one of the top ten largest Bosniak populations in the country at over 3,000 people.
Jacksonville's immigrant population has steadily increased since the early 1990's. The city has seen significant increases in its European, Latino, and Asian immigrant populations. It is estimated that by 2050 approximately one quarter of the population will be foreign-born. Because Jacksonville is a port city that is relatively close to South America and the Caribbean Islands, the Latino population in the city has grown at a steady rate. Jacksonville welcomes large numbers of immigrants from Islands such as Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. The influx of Latin American immigrants is a large reason for the recent increase in the city's foreign-born population.
The largest ethnic group in Jacksonville are Asians. Over the past two decades, the Asian immigrant population has more than doubled. Many of these immigrants come from southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, and the Philippines, which are two of the largest people groups in the metro area. With a decent job market, and an affordable rate of living, the steady flow of immigrants from Asian countries is expected to continue on into the future. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237217 | {

I want to create a room with a cathedral ceiling. How do I do this?
When a room's ceiling is pitched rather than flat it is referred to as either a cathedral or vaulted ceiling. Cathedral ceilings are the same pitch as the roof and are typically produced by enclosing the bottoms of the roof rafters with a ceiling material.
Vaulted ceilings, while similar, do not share the same pitch as the roof, and are often framed using scissor trusses. If you are interested in a Vaulted Ceiling rather than a Cathedral, please see the Related Articles section below.
Open an existing Chief Architect plan in which you would like to create a cathedral ceiling.
Click the Select Objects tool, then click in an empty space of a defined room to select it.
Note: In order for this method to work, the selected room must have a roof built directly above it, rather than a living space on the floor above.
With the room selected, click the Open Object edit button. On the Structure panel of the Room Specification dialog, uncheck Flat Ceiling Over This Room, then click OK.
Select 3D> Create Perspective View> Full Camera , then click and drag inside the room to view the result. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237219 | {

The Sun, Moon and Stars have long proved inspirational to composers. In this exciting, cosmically-themed organ recital, Edmund Aldhouse, Director of Music at Ely Cathedral, will perform awe-inspiring works which echo the music of the heavens and beyond. The audience will be entertained by excerpts from The Planets by Holst, Clair de Lune by Vierne and the theme from Star Wars. The programme also includes an improvised soundtrack alongside a visual enhancement showing the iconic silent movie 'A Trip to the Moon' (1902) which is regarded as one of the very first visual interpretations of the science fiction genre.
Georges Méliès' iconic short film 'A Trip to the Moon' (1902) is one of the earliest examples of the science fiction genre and influenced by the writing of Jules Verne. It was released a year before the first aircraft flight by the Wright Brothers and 67 years before Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon, uttering those famous words 'one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'. Well within the space of a century, science fiction had become science fact. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237221 | {

Liscard Primary School has been fully engaged with the new Mathematics curriculum since September 2014, and we are very happy with the way in which the children have embraced the new approach to deepening their understanding of Maths.
Maths is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
Mathematics is an interconnected subject in which pupils need to be able to move fluently between mathematical ideas. The programmes of study are, by necessity, organised into distinct areas, but pupils will make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. They will also apply their mathematical knowledge to science and other subjects.
Those who are not sufficiently fluent with earlier material will consolidate their understanding, including additional practice, before moving on. Setting is used to group children by ability from Year 1 – Year 6 to ensure the correct provision is made. All pupils receive a daily Maths lesson of between 60 – 75 minutes. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237223 | {

As Catholics we are taught that Baptism is a Sacrament that means that baptism is not simply a symbolic washing. Sacraments are a means of grace that effect what they signify. The Christian Faith teaches us that through baptism all sin, original and actual, is wiped away. The life of God, called sanctifying grace, is infused into the soul, and a person is born again of water and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus made baptism a condition for entering heaven (Jn 3:5; Mk 16:16).
These are what we would call the scriptural proof texts for the necessity of baptism. Baptism is essential.
The Baptism of Jesus is not to be confused with the baptism of John, which was only symbolic. John even says this in the Gospel accounts, that Jesus’ baptism would give the Holy Spirit, whereas his own did not (Mt. 3:11).
This is also attested to elsewhere in the New Testament.
In Acts 2:38, St. Peter says that through baptism our sins are forgiven and we receive the Holy Spirit. In Roman 6, St. Paul says that we are given new life (regeneration) through baptism.
Titus 3:5 tells us that we are saved “by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,” which refers to baptism.
Baptism is like plugging a lamp into an electrical source, once the lamp is plugged into the source; it draws power from it and begins to glow.
In Baptism we are united to Jesus Christ and empowered by His grace.
The gift of the Holy Spirit received at Baptism enables us to glow brightly and to radiate the love of Jesus Christ by the witness of our lives.

Never use any chemicals to unclog a sink tub or toilet. Most of the buildings have older plumbing that chemicals will damage.
If your toilet is clogged try to use a plunger to unclog it. If you are unsuccessful submit a maintenance request.
If your sink or tub is clogged try to remove hair or other objects from the drain. If you are unsuccessful submit a maintenance request.
If water is overflowing out of your sink, toilet, or tub call the emergency maintenance number immediately.
Always make sure there is a drain strainer in your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and tub to prevent larger items from getting in the drain.
Never pour cooking fats or oils down a drain.
No food waste should go in the drains. Do not put large, stringy, or fibrous items down the drain. For example: bones, corn on the cob peelings, and cereal.
Do not dump dry noodles, rice, or couscous down the drain because they will expand when they get wet and clog the drain.
Brush your hair before you shower so that the hair gets in the brush and not down the drain.
Only flush toilet paper in toilets. Q-tips, paper towels, feminine products and all other trash should go in the trash can (even if they say they are "flushable" they should still go in the trash can).
Do not put "flushable" cat litter in the toilet. It should go in the trash.
Clean drains regularly. Dish soap mixed with boiling water, baking soda by itself, as well as baking soda mixed with vinegar all work well. Organic bacteria-based enzyme cleaners also work well. Lemon juice, vinegar and bleach can help eliminate drain odors. We ask you to not use chemical-based cleaners like Drano as they can harm pipes.
If you notice a sink, tub, or toilet draining slower than normal, report it before it gets worse. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237225 | {

The new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) standard of measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in passenger cars is being introduced from Jan 2019. It is a more accurate measure of a vehicles performance than the outgoing NEDC (New European driving cycle) system which remains in place as a measure of CO2 for taxation purposes until April 2020. For more information see our website.*At maximum towing weight the trailer must have remote braking capability. **A guide to fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. In addition to the fuel efficiency of a car, driving behaviour as well as other non-technical factors play a role in determining a car’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237228 | {

Offices and administrative buildings are ultimate redoubts of the economic sector. Accordingly, they are projected by managers and profit-oriented developers, and therefore, they have become total commodities of the real-estate market. As a symptom, European Union’s administrative buildings are almost identical to commercial offices, despite representing a public and democratic institution. Hence, the EU has become the result of a post-political situation –in which the economic consensus prevails before any social or democratic intention– rendering its own developments devoid of any civic ambition to contribute and ameliorate the city. In this regard, administrative buildings have become dysfunctional to the city, sealing containers with none or very little interaction with its surroundings.
In Brussels, the office typology has developed in its most agonizing form, since public institutions have no control over its premises –only driven by the opportunism of the market. Thus, the dissertation departs from an analysis of the alienating case of the European district in Brussels, challenging the failures and missed opportunities of privatised architecture and restrictive technocratic masterplanning. As an answer, the ‘interior’ appears as a meaningful instigator of truly civic space, and as a means to subvert these administrative buildings from within. Especially, since normative provision of public space seems insufficient and unsuccessful, only reinforcing self-symbolisms –think of the Seagram plaza. Hence, the ‘interior’ opens up the possibility to reason urban space beyond conventional notions: streets, squares, parks, and so on. Yet the ‘interior’ allows to integrate both inside and outside from the building itself, expanding the disciplinary competences of urban design. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237229 | {

While our conscious mind is the rational, decision-making part of our mind, there are also many things that we do subconsciously things we are not consciously aware of. The subconscious is the part that is in control of all that is subconsciously initiated, whether it is mental, emotional, biochemical or physical.
Although no one has ever seen one (the same applies to the conscious mind for that matter), we know it is the part of us that automatically feels and responds, without us consciously making it happen. It has an imprinted memory or impression of every feeling from when we first begin to feel even in the womb, before we learn to speak.
The subconscious is that more intuitive, creative part of us that holds the key to all of our life experiences. It controls all our emotional feelings, our creative imagination, and our ability to meditate and dream. It allows us to walk down the street, dance, or drive a car safely, while our conscious mind is thinking about something else entirely.
It is a part of our ‘inner self’ that is in charge of our automatic responses, our ability to heal, and our ability to experience love, happiness, fear, depression etc.
When a person is unable to change unwanted feelings, responses or behaviours through conscious effort or will power, it is usually an indication of subconscious conflicts. While they remain, they can, and often do, lead to unwanted symptoms. Consciously, we are usually only aware of the symptoms, not the inner conflicts.
Our subconscious mind is neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’ – it simply IS. It takes care of us and protects us and gives us the ability to be ‘human’. That means being sad or unhealthy as well as happy and healthy. More importantly, with the appropriate help, it also has the ability to make changes to many everyday emotional and physical problems. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237230 | {

There are four different kinds of brain waves ranging form beta waves during periods of high alertness, trough alpha and theta waves, to delta waves which accompany deep sleep. These waves reflect the fluctuating levels of electrical activity in the brain at various times. In normal members of the population theta waves are associated with drowsy, meditative or sleeping states. Yet in psychopaths they occur during normal waking states – even sometimes during states of increased arousal. Language of psychopaths is only world deep. There is no emotional contouring behind it. A psychopath may say something like “I love you” but in reality it means about as much to him as if he said “I will have a cup of coffee”. This is one of the reasons why psychopaths remain so cool, calm and collected under conditions of extreme danger and why they are so reward-driven and take risks. Their brains, quite literary are less switched on than the rest of ours. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237234 | {

St. Sylvester assumed the papacy in 314 and guided the church for the next twenty-one years. As Pope, Sylvester led the faithful after Emperor Constantine’s Edict of Milan. The Edict directed acceptance of the church throughout the empire. Pope Sylvester fostered the faith by instituting over 300 laws concerning justice, equity and evangelical purity. He also directed the construction of churches in Rome.
It is inspiring and edifying that we in South Santa Rosa County have such a model of faith, social justice and good works as our patron saint. Before Pope Sylvester died in 335 he had laid the foundation for the church’s expansion throughout the world. When he was canonized, Saint Sylvester was the first person who was not a martyr to be honored as a saint. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237240 | {

Lion's Ear is an erect, branched herb that can grow 8 ft tall. The stems are strongly 4-angled. Oppostely arranged are smooth with coarsely toothed margins, triangular in shape and 2-5 in long. The flowers are borne in rounded, spiny clusters, 2-4 in across, that encircle the stems so that it looks like the stems are growing right through the middle of the clusters. As the stems elongate, new flower clusters continue to develop above the older ones. Orange, furry, tubular flowers that emerge out of the spiny heads look like a lion's ear, with some imagination. The flowers are about 1 in long and curve downward. Lion's Ear originated in tropical Africa, but is now naturalized world wide. Flowering: November-December.

Enmei-ji is a Buddhist temple of the Shingon sect, located in Imabari in the Ehime Prefecture.
It is also known as Temple 54 in the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. The pilgrimage has been undertaken for over a millennium, recreating the trip made by Kobo Daishi (774-835), whose quest led to his enlightenment. Traditionally, the temples are visited in order by pilgrims (called henro), with Temple 1 being the first and last stop. Some pilgrims do the route in reverse order for luck. While much of the dangers have lessened with modern convenience, the 1,400km circuit still takes time to complete. Walking the route takes between 30 to 60 days and biking takes 2 to 4 weeks. Modern pilgrims often use modern transportation, which could still take 4 to 5 days. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237248 | {

Germany was divided between west and east for 45 years after World War II. However, according to the campaign brochure of French presidential hopeful Francois Fillon, his neighboring nation remains mired in a Cold War-era split.
In what has proven to be an embarrassing design gaffe, a map of Europe displaying a fragmented Germany was included in policy literature for Francois Fillon.
The Republican politician, who also served as prime minister between 2007 and 2012, is currently the frontrunner in his party’s presidential primary, with the race for office due to conclude in May next year.
In an effort to bring Fillon’s core policy beliefs to the people his team have published literature entitled ‘For You’.
However, in a section about border control and ‘out of control’ immigration, the one-time militarised border of the German Democratic Republic remains intact despite it being wiped from existence following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Unsurprisingly the Cold-War era map has raised eyebrows among others in the German media, with Dusseldorf’s Rheinische Post labeling it embarrassing and a “small but serious mistake”.
It appears Fillon’s staff have since been ordered to fix the gaffe with a gaping hole left where the map of Europe had once been. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237251 | {

Scientists do not fully understand the causes of cancer, but studies show that some people are more likely to develop the disease than others. The incidence of cancer varies enormously among different regions.
The highest death rate from all cancers in males is 272 per 100,000 men in Hungary while the lowest death rate of 80 men per 100,000 is found in Mauritius, an island off the coast of eastern Africa. For women the highest cancer rate is 140 per 100,000 women in Denmark compared to only 63 per 100,000 women in Azerbaijan in western Asia. The figures for the United States are 156 per 100,000 men and 108 per 100,000 women. For particular cancers, the difference between countries may be as high as 40-fold. Differences also occur within populations. Cancer rates vary between sexes, races, and socioeconomic groups, for example. Scientists called epidemiologists study particular populations to identify why cancer rates vary. One method they use is to compare behavior and characteristics such as the gender, age, diet, or race of cancer patients to those of healthy people. Population studies provide useful information about risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing cancer. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237258 | {

The clinker bricks of Petersen Tegl are bricks that are Danish in origin, which have already been produced for more than 220 years with the use of old charcoal-based technology, and are characterized by having a textured surface and a large variety of colours.
The bricks are produced from tertiary clay, which is red and yellow, by wet plastic formation through using wooden molds. Special machines of their own invention are attached to a clay work piece so that it keep its original appearance. After several days of drying, the work piece is placed in a circular brick oven, where temperatures exceed 1000 ° C. The Petersen Tegl bricks are heated over charcoal. The heated bricks are mixed so that they are immediately ready for installation at the construction site.
the Petersen Junior children's toy bricks.
A special place in the range of the Danish company PetersenTegl is taken by the long, narrow Kolumba bricks which are produced in a unique format of 530x108x37 mm.
The long faced Kolumba brick was developed in 1997 by the Swiss architect Peter Zumtorom for the reconstruction of the museum of St. Columba in Cologne.
In contrast to the traditional Peterson Tegl bricks, the long Kolumba brick is fired in a gas furnace. This brick comes in 17 main and 13 additional hybrid types.
The Petersen Tegl bricks and Kolumba bricks have a unique characteristic, an original appearance and high potential in attracting the ongoing attention of experts and private customers. Petersen Tegl bricks are actively used for the renovation of old buildings, since they have a weathered appearance as their surfaces are often associated with bygone times.
The Russian architects Ivan Chuvelev and Natalya Lobanova from the architectural bureau Arch4 in 2005 were the first in Russia to use the Petersen Kolumba bricks at one of their suburban facilities. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237264 | {

Influenza (the Flu) is caused by different strains of the Flu viruses. It should not be confused with a bad cold; it is a serious disease with varying consequences. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, aching muscles, headache, cough and severe fatigue. It can range from feeling very unwell for a few weeks right throught to hospitalization and even death in extreme cases. It causes disruption to work, colleagues and personal life.
Not everyone who catches the Flu feels unwell. Studies have shown that 4 out of 5 people who catch the Flu have no symptoms. The danger of this is that they can spread it to others who may become very unwell. Adults with the Flu are infectious for up to 5 days, and children for up to 2 weeks. Hand washing is very important in reducing the spread of the Flu virus, as well as vaccination. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237265 | {

A beginner tutorial for C# and ASP.NET users on working with controls like GridView.
I am sharing this because I see a lot of questions on the forums on how to get the value from the GridView object, and I know how. As a beginner it's very tough and challenging to work with controls like a GridView in ASP.NET. Even I faced difficulties at the starting point of my career. So I am writing this mainly for beginners.
Here, I am not going to explain about GridView and other events in it, because there are a lot of good articles about that. I am only going to show the different ways we can use code to take the value from GridView.
The main difference is that here we are using the Find Control() method, that is, first we need to find the control inside the GridView and only then can we access the data from it.
This code is for taking the value apart from the GridView events; that is, any common event using a sender object. But ensure that the control/link is inside the GridView, only then can we cast sender as GridView. This code is a bit complex but just add it knowing that we may refer to it in the future.
Here in GridView, in the beginning the major part is to make the decision of putting either a bound field or a template field and the answer is simple: When we want to place any control inside the GridView then we can go for template field, otherwise bound field will be simpler.
I hope the above information was a little bit helpful for you, kindly let me know your valuable feedback or thoughts. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237268 | {

The Hakuba Alpine Library, conveniently located in the premises of the central bus terminal and information center, is the perfect place to learn about the history of Hakuba Happo-one. Established in 2010, the facility has exhibitions in English and Japanese exploring mountaineering and skiing in the area, historical rural life in the region, and the life story of Fukuoka Takayuki, the founder of the Riesenslalom (Giant Slalom) course. There is a large selection of Japanese- and English-language publications allowing people to dive deeper into these subjects.
The deep connections between mountaineering and skiing are explored in this sixteen-booth exhibition with information provided in both Japanese and English. Find out about the first attempts at mountain climbing in the beginning of the Meiji period (1868-1912), learn about the concept of minshuku, Japanese-style guest houses run by families, and learn how skiwear changed throughout the decades. The section dedicated to the Nagano Winter Olympics 1998 is a particular highlight, with photographs and memorabilia of the time all eyes were on Hakuba Happo-one.
This exhibition celebrates the life of Fukuoka Takayuki (1913-1981), a former professor of German language and of the theory of physical education at Hosei University. To many he is the founding father of Hakuba Happo-one's ski scene. Fukuoka dedicated a great deal of his life to skiing and mountain climbing, having discovered the sports while training to be an athlete. Fukuoka published his own book about different skiing techniques, based on his own experiences and observations.
Having resettled to Hosono (modern-day Hakuba Happo-one) shortly before World War II (1939-1945), Fukuoka discovered the area was the perfect place to establish a run for downhill and slalom skiing. After convincing the local government by explaining the benefits of this new project, the construction works for the Riesenslalom (Giant Slalom) Course started and the first tournament was held in 1947.
Travel back in time and discover the many different traditional farming tools and techniques used by the locals over one hundred years ago. The history corner also houses a life-size diorama of a typical fireplace found in traditional Japanese farm houses.
Here you can leaf through more than 10,000 different Japanese- and English-language publications related to mountains, mountain climbing, and skiing. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237269 | {

Welcome back to our last half term together! This half term our topic is "What can you see in the Summer?" You will be receiving a homework map tomorrow, if you have any questions about this please let me know. This week we have been using our senses to describe things about Summer, and comparing them to other seasons.
In phonics we have all been recapping our sounds. We have been writing descriptively and recognising more common irregular words. We have been watching our potatoes and strawberries grow and we can confirm that our strawberries are YUM!
In maths we have been working on one more and one less. We have also been practicing our "cup of tea" numbers (twenty, thirty, forty, fifty etc.) and how these sound different to our teen numbers. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237271 | {

Juche is the guiding philosophy for North Korea (DPRK). According to them, the Juche idea is the guiding light for the 21st century. It roughly means national independence and self-reliance, moving one’s own nation forward through one’s own efforts. In another sense, Juche is a term akin to “Smurf”: It means whatever you want it to, and in practice works out to “that which Kim Il Sung and/or Kim Jong Il likes.” That’s why they have such things as Juche fabric and Juche magic tricks and Juche literature.
One person’s national independence is another’s authoritarian regime. In any case, the DPRK is a fascinating case study of the closed society, not to mention the kind of indoctrination and brutality required to keep one lumbering along 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237275 | {

Aviane (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Aviane is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. Important: Aviane will take 15 days to ship.
Do not use Aviane if you are pregnant or if you have recently had a baby. You should not take Aviane if you have any of the following conditions: uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, a blood-clotting disorder, circulation problems, diabetic problems with your eyes or kidneys, unusual vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, severe migraine headaches, if you smoke and are over 35, or if you have ever had breast or uterine cancer, jaundice caused by birth control pills, a heart attack, a stroke, or a blood clot. Taking this medicine can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, especially if you have certain other conditions, or if you are overweight. Smoking can greatly increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. You should not take this medicine if you smoke and are over 35 years old. You may need to use back up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using Aviane or if you miss a dose. Some drugs can make Aviane less effective in preventing pregnancy, including antibiotics, hepatitis C medications, HIV/AIDS medications, seizure medications, or barbiturate sedatives. You can safely take Aviane, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions: high blood pressure, varicose veins; high cholesterol or triglycerides, or if you are overweight; a history of depression; diabetes, underactive thyroid, gallbladder disease; seizures or epilepsy; a history of irregular menstrual cycles; tuberculosis; or a history of fibrocystic breast disease, lumps, nodules, or an abnormal mammogram. The hormones in Aviane (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medication may also slow breast milk production. Do not take this medicine if you are breast feeding a baby. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237280 | {

Here's a little story about some innovation soon to show up in Copenhagen. In a city with many busstops and cycle tracks, there is the question of coexistence. For a number of years, the City of Copenhagen has worked hard to establish islands at busstops for the bus passengers to use when disembarking. It really is the baseline for infrastructure and the City, by and large, prefers it over anything else. Since the City starting retrofitting busstops to provide islands, safety has increased dramatically across the city.
In 2015, The City of Copenhagen will establish LED bus islands at certain locations where there isn't space to build a proper island. When there is no bus, there will be a green strip along the curb. When a bus rolls up, the LED light show will expand across the cycle track to indicate to all traffic users that passengers have the priority. When the bus leaves, the LED lights revert to the green strip.
The Mayor for Traffic and Environment, Morten Kabell, said, "We know that tradtional bus islands are a good idea but don't have space everywhere for them because some streets are too narrow."
"Therefore it will be exciting to see that if a lighted busstop can create a better sense of safety for both parties, create a better flow on the cycle track and create space for bus passengers".
The pilot project will start next year, with a budget of $400,000.
This is an example of a standard bus island. The cycle track continues between the sidewalk and the island. In this instance, the law dictates that passengers have to wait for the cyclists to pass before crossing to or from the island.
There are, however, a number of locations where space is limited. This kind of situation will be perfect for the new pilot project. In locations like this, the law dicates that the bicycle users have to stop to allow the passengers to board and disembark the bus.
Generally, in detailed observations that Copenhagenize Design Co. have done, there is not a lot of drama at busstops. Things do get a bit tight in the rush hour, sometimes a bicycle user and a bus passenger will bump into each other. Generally, this LED solution will clearly mark out the territory for all parties involved. Many people aren't clear about the rules - or the fact that they differ between places with an island or without.
This solution is a positive addition to the traffic equation in Copenhagen. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237281 | {

Should I go to the eye doctor?
Recently, everytime I use the computer or read a book, my head starts hurting, usually around the temple area as well as above my eyes. Sometimes I see the words on the screen and in books shift and I see colored dots in my vision. I can see things far away without any trouble. I'm 17 and never had an eye exam before because I never thought my eyes are bad. But since about 3 months or so, my eyes are just uncomfortable. I have an eye exam appointment next week and I'm just embarrassed that I go there and the doctor finds out my vision is perfect….. Is it worth going?
Of course it is worth going to an eye exam, if you have perfect vision the eye doctor will be pleased about it, they don't want anyone to have bad eye sight.
You say your distant vision is perfect, but what you see is the norm for you, yet you near vision is the problem. The eye doctor will test your distant vision and tell the doctor that your near vision is causing eye strain.
I was born with very bad eye sight, so having bad eye sight was the norm for me, I use to think everyone could only see what I could see.
But an eye sight test will tell you if your vision can be improved. Also an eye sight test checks the health of the eye, which is important.
What you've got sounds like eye strain and one of the causes is your eyesight being less than perfect. The doctor wont' be upset if your eyesight is perfect - they are qutie happy to do checks and do check the health of the eye as well. What you are doing is very sensible and there is absolutely no need to be embarrassed.
If it turns out that your eyes are fine then follow the other fixes for eyestrain. Adjust computer properly - arms length away 90 degrees to light source Look up regularly, make sure you use your distance vison for a while. A weeks break from using your close vision can reset as well.
As people grow their eyesight often gets worse and at 17 you're still in teh main age group where eyesight does get worse. What you have describred doesn't sound at all like migraine to me by the way.
It is good you have an eye exam. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237282 | {

Originally called “Liberation in the Classroom: Where do anti-oppression work and classroom work meet?”, this blog was conceived to address issues of power, control, and oppression as they relate to classroom work. The working title was an attempt to grasp the various aspects of liberation work (anti-sexism, anti-racism, anti-heterosexism, and any number of other cultural oppressions) and life in a classroom. I include here both questions of how individuals treat each other, why, and what we can do about it, as well as issues of policy, curriculum, and school administration.
This broad topic includes creating safe environments where youth can concentrate on their studies, and it means trying to understand what the experience is of all students. If the school is safe for some, but unsafe for others, our job is not done. The goal here is to create schools that are safe (emotionally, physically, etc.) for all students and teachers. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237283 | {

Robots are your new ideal co-worker and help fill the gap in your workplace.
JHF distributes a number of robotic lines to help you leverage your production costs, streamline your automation applications and fill the gap.
doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be done. Old manual assembly lines have already been largely replaced by automation; however, opportunities still exist to automate the tasks people don’t want to do or aren’t well suited for.
Collaborative robots are an excellent example of new automation options that can help relieve some labor shortage problems. By automating those tasks, you’ll free up those workers to take on other jobs that are harder to fill.
Old problem: Dull, dirty jobs no one wants to do.
New problem: Working with robots might require more technical skills. Fortunately, many collaborative robots are relatively easy for people to use, even if they’re inexperienced with robots. Cobots with touch-pads can be programmed simply and intuitively—no coding knowledge needed. Now an unpleasant job can become “cool,” thanks to a robotic helper!
How can automation help close the gap?
How can more qualified, interested workers be recruited and retained?
What can be done to attract more people into the modern manufacturing industry?
Example solution: To save the human from movements that cause repetitive strain injuries, use a cobot to place several screws on an assembly, and then have a human worker do the final screwing operation or verification.
Example solution: A cobot could dispense a toxic product such as glue or other chemicals.
Example solution: A cobot could tend a machine that requires extra precautions, such as unloading a brake press. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237284 | {

It is a common practice to use Gram per Square Meter (abbr. GSM) as the thickness unit of non woven fabric and woven PP fabric. In the carrier bags industry, the most popular thickness of non woven fabric bags is 80 GSM. As for woven PP fabric bags, it is 130 GSM with lamination.
When it comes to cotton bags, we use ounce (abbr. Oz) to indicate how thick the cotton is. 1 Ounce = 28.3495231 Grams, but 1 Oz cotton fabric is not equivalent to 28.3495231 GSM. To measure the thickness of cotton, people take 1 square yard of cotton and weigh it. The weight in ounce is the thickness in Oz. 1 square yard = 0.836127 square meter. So when we convert 1 Oz cotton to GSM, it is 28.3495231 ÷ 0.836127 = 33.9057620433 GSM. The popular cotton bags vary from 5 Oz to 12 Oz.
Here we offer you a handy tool: fabric Oz-GSM convertor. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237285 | {

According to Jamy Ian Swiss in Devious Standards, 2011, p. 122, Stuart Gordon executed his technique immediately after dribbling the cards, rather than from a squared deck as the following magicians have since adapted it (although the type of get-ready doesn't affect the turnover itself). The move was reportedly learned from Gordon and used by a select few, such as David Roth and Earl Nelson, as early as 1974, and then published by Larry Jennings and Darwin Ortiz; see The Cardwright by Mike Maxwell, 1988, p. 114, and Cardshark, 1995, p. 106, respectively.
Before that, Ken Simmons published the turnover in Riffling the Pasteboards, 1986, p. 8, but without mention (and seemingly without knowledge) of Stuart Gordon. It was unclear if Simmons intended to claim origination, as he prefaces the trick it appears in, “Ace-Bitiously Yours”, by writing, “You won't find any new or revolutionary moves here…” However, in Banded Deck Effects 1991, Simmons explicitly makes the claim of originality on p. 27. Subsequent research proved that Gordon preceded Simmons; see Wesley James's summary in Enchantments, 2004, p. 164.
The central dynamic of the technique involves the magician sliding his thumb down the face of the double as it's being turned over. This thumb slide is older than Gordon technique. George Pittman utilized it in the Pittman One-Hand Double Lift from The Sphinx, Vol. 48 No. 2, Apr. 1949, p. 35. And in David Ben's Zarrow: A Lifetime of Magic, 2008, p. 341, this thumb slide was used in one of the “Loose Lifts” Zarrow developed c. 1950. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/237286 | {
