Time, communication, organisation, and human behaviour are impacted by technology. Technology was developed and advanced based on society’s demands. It was a means to solve society’s issues, along with economic growth.
Impact of Technology on the Workplace
1946, J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly designed the earliest computers to perform specific tasks that once had to be done by hand. Early generated computers were expensive; departments that could afford a computer had to be located at their main headquarter. At the time, many firms were localized to one geographic location. The demand to branch out was resolved by the low costing minicomputers. This lets organizations to migrate their companies outwards. It was the combination of computers and telecommunication that provided companies to branch out even further. Organizations transformed their image with the invention of the PC “personal Computer.”
Dramatically the workplace was remodeling. Increasingly jobs that humans would perform would be replaced by computers, which reduced job positions. These people would have to learn different skills to serve in the working environment. At the same time, the workplace environment had frequently become reliant on technology.
January 1, 1983, is considered the official birthday of the internet. New job sections were formed to support computer technology. Many companies allowed employees to work from home or work centers away from the headquarters. To lower labour costs, some companies migrated to other countries, where the wages were lower than their origin. Whether the employee worked from home or in a different country, this allowed employees to deliver through the internet their work.
Impact of technology in the home and in the educational institutes
The age of information is here. E-Mail, WWW, and the internet have had the most impact on societies worldwide. It is not only businesses that utilize technology, but many families take advantage of technology in their homes. Individuals can communicate with others in distant places. Technology is now more affordable and also convenient to acquire. Many companies have payment plans so that everyone can have devices at their disposal.
Individuals can research many different topics. Sharing and transferring information, pictures, and videos quickly. Regardless of the individual’s location, they can see whom they want to talk to through video chat. The internet has shaped education and entertainment by being delivered into private homes and shared locations.

Shade has a very bad reputation among gardeners and they blame it for the general lack of success they have gardening in wooded areas. Of course, it’s true that you can’t grow just any plant in shade (vegetables, for example, loathe it), but there are in fact lots of plants that will grow perfectly well in shade. I mean plain shade, such as on the north side of a building or under a pergola. Not the shade of trees. Because under trees, the situation is very different.
You see, the real problem of gardening under trees is not so much the shade itself (not if you choose the right plants) as the presence of so many tree roots. These roots dry out the soil, leaving it in a state of perpetual drought, and also deplete most of its minerals while they’re at it. This is called root competition. Some trees (maples, spruces, pines, willows, sweetgums, birches, etc.) are worse than others, with root systems that literally skim the soil surface or even rise above it and really suck all the goodness out. And make digging hell too! But just about any tree, even the so-called deep-rooted ones, is going to have plenty of roots in the top foot (30 cm) of soil. This combination of conditions—shade and root competition—is what is known as dry shade.
No matter how many complaints you may hear about dry shade, it isn’t particularly hard to cope with. You just have to know what to do. Here is my technique:
1. Dig big. You need a big planting hole, as deep as the new plant’s root system and three to four times as wide. The wider the hole, the slower tree roots will be in coming back. So a big hole gives your plant a chance to settle in before the competition arrives.
2. Cut roots if necessary. After all, otherwise you won’t be able to dig at all! You’ll need more than a shovel: pruning shears, a hand saw, maybe an axe. Sure, if you hit a big root, move the hole over a bit and start anew, but otherwise feel free to chop the hell out of any secondary roots you run into. Don’t worry that you’ll be harming the tree. A healthy tree can lose a third of its roots in one year and still be in fine shape. It will simply respond to root pruning by growing abundant new ones.
3. Line the hole with newspaper (7 to 10 sheets). If you have not access to newspaper, used cardboard. Do this for the same reason as point 1 above: to keep the tree roots from moving in before your plant has settled in. Do not use landscape fabric! You want a temporary barrier that will decompose and disappear over time so your plant’s roots can expand. (And landscape fabric will not keep tree roots out for long at any rate: they’re very tenacious!) Make sure you cut off or fold down any part of the newspaper sticking above the ground; otherwise it will act as a wick and dry the soil out further. An added plus is that when a paper or cardboard barrier decomposes, it turns into … compost! So it feeds your plant as it disappears, usually within 12 to 18 months.
4. Plant only plants that tolerate dry shade. Why put in a sun-loving plant like a peony? It will only be miserable. Or a moisture-living plant like an astilbe? It will out-and-out die. Try hostas, epimediums, Solomon’s seals, bigroot geraniums, hellebores, wild gingers, ajugas, even many ferns (many are much more drought resistant than they are given credit for). The list of plants that can tolerate dry shade is surprisingly long! Check out my book, Making the Most of Shade for tons of suggestions.
5. Plant only large, fairly mature plants. This is more important than you think! Young plants, even those that are reputedly tolerant of dry shade, will have a very difficult time settling down in an area that will soon be invaded by tree roots. Even if they do survive, the competition is such that they’ll take forever to reach their full size. But a mature plant, with its large mass of dense roots, will be able to withstand the coming assault. Plus you get that “well-established garden” look right from the start!
6. Backfill with a mix of compost and the original soil, then water well. But you already knew that, so skip on to the next point.
7. Give your plantings extra care the first year. You probably already know that too, but I want to insist on it. Any new plant needs extra care at first and plants that will eventually be drought-stressed by surrounding tree roots, more than most. You don’t need to keep them soaking in water, but do check weekly and water if needed. The old “finger in the soil down to the second joint” method still gives you the best moisture meter ever! If the soil feels moist, don’t water. If it feels dry, do water. And watering is the main care new plants need at this point. Dry shade plants, practically by definition, don’t need particularly good soil or even much fertilizer, but they do need moisture until they are thoroughly established. Then you can bring on the dry conditions and let them grow on their own.
8. Finally, mulch is always good in a dry shade garden. Always!
That’s it! When you apply the right techniques, creating a beautiful garden in dry shade is a cinch.

Evaluating potential for conservation agriculture in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malawi
Conservation agriculture (CA) is being promoted as an option for reducing soil degradation, conserving water, enhancing crop productivity, and maintaining yield stability. However, CA is a knowledge- and technology-intensive practice, and may not be feasible or may not perform better than conventional agriculture under all conditions and farming systems.

It’s fun to know slang in other languages, especially bad words. Japanese doesn’t have many of these, but there are a few. Most of them are used by young people. You might hear these words when you’re in Japan.
1. キモい / Kimoi
Kimoi basically means “gross”, but it becomes a lot more offensive and hurtful if you use it to describe someone.
It’s totally fine to use it when you see something literally gross. You can use it to describe something that annoys you- anything but people.
But again, it sounds very offensive if you say it to someone. Even if you hear people using this phrase, you probably should just avoid using it altogether.
2. ウザい / Uzai
Uzai is a very common word, even for adults. It means “annoying” or “troublesome”. This word is not too offensive nor inappropriate, but you probably shouldn’t use it.
Uzai is also used for anything annoys you. It sounds softer than kimoi, but still not good.
3. 死ね / Shine
Don’t pronounce this like English; it’s two separate syllables, shi and ne. Shine just means “die”. I think this is the worst word you can say in Japanese.
You hear it often when you watch anime in Japanese, but it’s used when killing actually happens in anime, so it’s fine there.
However, some people use this word lightly, and it can really bother people. I hate it!
4. くそ / Kuso
Kuso means “shit”, and there are many ways to use this word. It’s used like “f**k”, although not many people use it, as Japanese people generally don’t like to swear.
You can just say “Kuso!” like “F**k!” when shit happens.
Kuso-yarou means “bitch”, “sucker”, or something like that.
You can also use it to emphasize what you want to say. For example, “atsui” means hot in Japanese, and “Kuso atsui” means “f**king hot”.
Not appropriate at all, anyway.
5. キチガイ / Kichigai
Kichigai means someone who is insane or mentally disabled, mostly used by young people. This also sounds very offensive, like “retarded”.
It used to be used during World War for people who had actual mental problems because of the war. This word became common again these days because people started using on the internet.
Anyway, don’t use this word either.

Your little one is about 5- 5 1/2 inches this week, measuring from crown to rump. As this week comes to a close, your baby will weigh close to 5 1/2 ounces or so. Your baby’s umbilical cord is lengthening and becoming thicker as it continues to transfer oxygen and nutrients to the placenta, which ultimately reaches your baby. The placenta, which already contains thousands of blood vessels, also continues its growth as the weeks go by; growing up to 3 cm thick by the time it’s delivered following your baby’s birth. Alveoli, which are tiny air sacs similar to balloons, are forming in your little one’s lungs. In the last several weeks of pregnancy, the cells in the alveoli produce a substance called surfactant, which helps the lungs expand after birth, so your baby can breathe. At birth, your baby will only have 10% of the millions of alveoli he or she will have as an adult.
Your baby’s reproductive system is continuing to develop. If you are having a girl, her ovaries now contain primitive egg cells; about six million (approximately six times the number she’ll have at the time of birth). The rest of her internal reproductive organs are completely formed now, as well. If you are having a boy, his testes have begun to descend from the abdomen and are apparent. The prostate glad is also developed in boys. If you have an ultrasound this week, it’s often possible to determine your baby’s gender, if you don’t want to wait until birth to find out. If you decide to wait and be surprised, make sure to tell the technician at the beginning of your ultrasound. Ultrasounds are typically fairly accurate depending on the skill level of the technician, position of your baby and also how far along you are, but definitely not 100%.
Your baby’s bones have been rather soft and rubbery up until now. His or her skeleton is gradually beginning to harden, transforming from soft cartilage to harder bone, although the bones will continue to remain somewhat flexible so your little one can fit more easily through the birth canal during delivery. This hardening process is called ossification and usually begins in the legs and inner ear. Practically all ossification is completed before your baby’s birth, except the fontanels of the skull, which are the two soft spots on your baby’s head. The fontanels allow the boney plates of your baby’s skull to flex during the birth process, so the head can be delivered more easily. These areas will harden completely by the time your baby is 1 1/2 to 2 years old.

t’s a chilly November afternoon on the Choptank River
on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. As watermen in work-boats motor back to harbor for the evening, the moon
rises and airplanes trace silver trails across a darkening
sky. A strange, unearthly laughter wobbles across the undulating waves. It’s the call of a loon—a fishing bird known as
the “spirit of the north.” Loons spend most of the year in
Canada and the northern United States. But every fall, loons
visit the Chesapeake Bay during their long migration to
warmer waters off Florida and the Carolinas.

“Evidence From Biology”
The loon is designed quite differently than almost all other birds. While the bodies of most birds are designed as light and aerodynamic as possible, the loon’s body is heavier, allowing it to sink until only its head is above water. It controls its ability to float by inflating or deflating tiny air sacs under its skin. When flying at high altitude, where the air is thin, the loon can conserve oxygen by limiting the flow of blood to its massive leg muscles.
The loon also has a perfectly developed reflex which limits the flow of blood to its wings and digestive tract during underwater dives. This allows the loon to hold its breath for long periods of time. Although an average dive lasts about 40 seconds, three-minute dives that cover 300-400 yards are quite common. Astounding dives have been documented where loons have held their breath for as long as 15 minutes while swimming underwater for over 2 miles.
Both common sense and the laws of probability tell us that these many unique abilities could not have evolved by chance processes such as random mutations. The loon could not have developed its unique diving ability in some step-at-a-time manner. It would have starved to death long before it caught its first fish. The system had to work perfectly from the beginning.”
Character Sketches, Vol III. p.49
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. (Psalms 86:10 KJV)
From September 18, A Closer Look at the Evidence, by Richard and Tina Kleiss
More – “When I Consider!”
“any of five species of diving birds constituting the genus Gavia, family Gaviidae. Loons were formerly included, along with the grebes, to which they bear a superficial resemblance, in the order Colymbiformes, but they are considered to constitute their own separate order. Loons range in length from 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 feet). Characteristics include a strong tapered bill, small pointed wings, webs between the front three toes, and legs placed far back on the body, which makes walking awkward. Loons have thick plumage that is mainly black or gray above and white below. During the breeding season the dorsal plumage is patterned with white markings, except in the red-throated loon (Gavia stellata), which during the summer is distinguished by a reddish brown throat patch. In winter the red-throated loon develops white speckling on the back, while the other species lose these markings.” (Britannica Online)
“Loons are excellent swimmers, using their feet to propel themselves above and under water and their wings for assistance. Because their feet are far back on the body, loons are poorly adapted to moving on land. They usually avoid going onto land, except when nesting.
All loons are decent fliers, though the larger species have some difficulty taking off and thus must swim into the wind to pick up enough velocity to become airborne. Only the Red-throated Diver (G. stellata) can take off from land. Once airborne, their considerable stamina allows them to migrate long distances southwards in winter, where they reside in coastal waters. Loons can live as long as 30 years.”
“The loons are the size of a large duck or small goose, which they somewhat resemble in shape when swimming. Like in these but unlike in coots (which are Rallidae) and grebes (Colymbiformes), their toes are connected by webbing. They may be confused even more readily with cormorants (Phalacrocoracidae), which are not too distant relatives of divers and like them are heaviset birds whose bellies – unlike those of ducks and geese – are submerged when swimming. Flying loons resemble a plump goose with a seagull’s wings, which seem quite small in proportion to the bulky body. They hold their head slightly pointing upwards during swimming, less so than cormorants do, and in flight they let the head decidedly droop down compared to all other aquatic birds of comparable habitus.
Males and females do not differ in plumage. Males are a bit larger on average, but usually this is only conspicuous when directly comparing the two parents. Their plumage is largely patterned black-and-white in summer, with grey on the head and neck in some species, and a white belly in all of them. This resembles many sea-ducks (Merginae) a lot – notably the smaller goldeneyes (Bucephala) – but is distinct from most cormorants which rarely have white feathers, and if so usually as large rounded patches rather than delicate patterns. All species of divers have a spear-shaped bill.”(Wikipedia)

General Security Strategy
Protect the data instead of chasing the endless perimeter and endpoints
Focus on the Data
In a world where users are both inside and outside the firewall and VPN access is prevalent, protecting the perimeter and the endpoints is almost impossible. Data-Centric Security focuses on protecting the actual data.
In Data-Centric Security, protection is built-in rings from the database outwards through the application and IT infrastructure towards the end-users. When the data is protected, internal threats, external threats, and social engineering are all handled by the same strategy.
Production & Non-Production
Production and Non-production security are fundamentally different
Production Security revolves around the activity in the system. It is generally comprised of three core components: control over the environment, restricting access, and visibility into the activity. The three are not equal as the last is the most beneficial but also the most difficult to achieve.
Non-Production Security revolves around the data. The guiding principle is that once sensitive data is removed from these systems, the security requirements are significantly reduced. However, masking the data must not compromise data validity, data integrity, or reduce the quality of the test.

After seven years of Marley’s death, on Christmas Eve, Scrooge saw Marley’s ghost dragging chains of cashboxes that Marley forged in life. Marley told Scrooge that three spirits would visit him and change his fate. Dickens’ early life had influenced his view on the importance of helping others. In Dickens’ early life, he worked in a workhouse and his job is to paste labels on bottle which is a boring and hellish job. He became a law clerk eventually but it was still tough work.
Seeing Tiny Tim makes him realize that he was wrong and that those he might consider to be unnecessary, could very well be like Tiny Tim. Scrooge is later visited by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and finds that Tiny Tim has died. Scrooge regrets having not treated Bob Cratchit better and for having a hand in the death of Tiny Tim. He regrets that his lack of generosity will have resulted in the death of the sweet child and probably others who needed his
What reason have you to be merry?' This shows scrooge to be a grumpy old and generally depressing person at Christmas time. Bob Cratchitts view on the festive time of year is a happy merry and good will to everyone. And finally Fezziwig who ... ... middle of paper ... ...ke the reader think, laugh or cry. Dickens has done this to produce a book that will live on forever.
I will be talking about Ebenezer Scrooge and how he changed drastically throughout the story of the Christmas Carol. During one of the busiest times of the year Scrooge is challenged to visit his past, present, and future. Scrooge is a very grumpy, miserable man who is visited by the three spirits. He learns to be thankful and understand the meaning of Christmas. The story, A Christmas Carol, was written by Charles Dickens in 1843.
In what sense may we see Carton's dying in Darnay's place as Christ-like? It wipes away his sin, just as Christ's death washed clean all of man's sins. For readers who choose the negative view, the death of Carton seems an act of giving up. These readers point out that Stryver's jackal has little to lose. Never useful or happy, Carton has already succumbed to the depression eating away at him.
Charles Dickens Historic A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens wrote the novel A Christmas Carol because he believed that he can have an influence on the situation in England in the 19th century(Bio). He included the character’s greed and want that are a part of Scrooge during his visits with the Ghosts of Christmas. Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children, and his father, John drove them into poverty. John was sent to prison for debt in 1824 when Dickens was twelve years of age.
I also liked the part when the ghost of Christmas present showed the meaning of ignorance and want of the poor people that worked in workhouses and poor people. The past I also liked was of the ghost of Christmas future because it showed to him that if he do not change he would die, the same day that Mr. Scrooge hate that day and that if he did not helped his jobs assistant his child that was Tiny Tim would die because that family did not have the enough money to buy medicine to Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim had a problem with his leg. I did not like the part when Scrooge said to he two portly men that he would not give them donations to the poor people and instead of it he said that poor people would work in workhouses, go to prison and die. And now I would describe each of the characters of A Christmas Carol movie… Ebenezer Scrooge was a man that did not care about others.
This obviously caused him to have a lack of appropriate education, so Dickens began to develop on interest into books. He was later sent back to school when his dad got out of jail, but when his parents could again no longer afford to pay for their son’s education, he found work in a law office, then as a newspaper reporter. It was here that Dickens’ taught himself shorthand,” (www.ucsc.edu/dickens/DEA/ACC/dickens.bio.html, Dickens’ Life and The Carol). This began the writing of the many Dickens’ classics we enjoy to this very day. One particular book being, A Christmas Carol, a well-known holiday classic.
Charles Dickens was born in 1812, in Portsmouth, England. He spent his formative years in London, and began his schooling at age nine. In 1824, his father, John, suffered financial difficulties and was stripped of his house by creditors. As was the custom, the entire Dickens family was banished to debtor's prison at Marshalsea until
Scrooge's Change in A Christmas Carol Dickens combines a description of hardships faced by the poor with a heart-rending sentimental celebration of the Christmas season. The novel contains dramatic and comic element as well as a deep felt moral theme. In the beginning of the novel Ebenezer Scrooge is portrayed as a hardhearted and unsociable man. However at the end of the novel we see dramatic changes in him as a trio of ghostly visitations causes a complete change in him. Scrooges transformed from an unpleasant and penny-pinching character to a charitable kind man.

The Anti-Violence Circus
For K-8. This show uses circus stunts, comedy routines, juggling, balancing tricks and audience participation games to explore anti-bullying concepts. Conflict resolution is emphasized through THE 4C’S for CONFLICT RESOLUTION:
1. COOL DOWN – acting from anger is not the answer
2. COMMUNICATE – Express your feelings. Learn to be a good listener and to hear other people’s point of views. Talk to friends, teachers, and parents about any violence you see in your daily lives.
3. COMPROMISE – Violence creates losers. Develop a win-win strategy so that both parties win.
4. CELEBRATE – Love yourself and be proud of yourself. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” —Eleanor Roosevelt
Two or three times during the show the performers stop to discuss.
A handout is provided summarizing the 4C’s. We suggest you copy it and distribute it to classroom teachers.
“ The children really enjoyed the juggling, unicycling and funny antics. In addition, your wonderful rapport with the children greatly added to the overall enjoyment of the performance. ”

The Anger Iceberg
Often, when we experience anger, there are other, more vulnerable emotions hidden beneath the surface. For example, we may feel hurt, fearful, rejected or overwhelmed. Looking ‘underneath’ our anger can help us to better understand our responses and learn to manage them more effectively.
This can be particularly important in personal relationships where we can find our emotions escalating very rapidly in ways we find difficult to control. In the illustration anger is helpfully represented as an iceberg, highlighting the way our deeper emotions can remain concealed from view.
Reflecting upon our anger in this way can help us to take a step back and look inside ourselves rather than lashing out at those around us.

Living with chronic pain is mentally, physically, and emotionally challenging. Those who experience pain every day find that it gets in the way of living and creates a vicious cycle that impacts them and the people they love.
Pain management is a multifaceted job. Here are eight healthy habits that can assist with proactive pain management and healthy living.
Practice Stress Management
While we tend to think of stress as a mental state, it’s often a huge trigger for physical pain. That’s because stress has a physical impact on the body by releasing hormones and creating a sense of hyper-awareness that stems from evolutionary practices.
Unfortunately, stress is a normal part of life. However, there are healthy ways to manage stress and prevent it from dominating your existence. Practice stress management through mindfulness, movement, and meditation. Learning to cope in a healthy way can mitigate the impacts on your body.
Make Time to Move
Movement can be one of the most challenging aspects of dealing with chronic pain, as there’s a fine line between healthy movement and causing more damage. It can also be a battle to get moving when you’re feeling unwell.
Work with your physician to find a form of exercise or movement that will help rather than harm. Even something simple, like going for a brief walk, can be restorative. Pain management specialist Dr. William Lautman indicates that pain management requires a holistic approach that focuses on staying active and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle. Find a form of movement that works for you and make time for it every day.
Create a Sleep Routine
Sleep is when your body does its best work. However, if you’re in pain, it can be difficult to get enough sleep. This is a paradox that many chronic pain patients find themselves battling each day.
Create a sleep routine that makes rest a habit and sends signals within your body that it’s time to sleep. Consider cutting caffeine after lunchtime and removing screen time up to an hour before bed. Make time to read, journal, or take a bath every evening— something that your body will come to recognize as a trigger to relax.
Add Nutritious Foods
Many chronic pain sufferers have heard that cutting certain inflammatory foods can help. While this is true, it’s often harder to focus on cutting foods than adding foods. Set a goal to add nutritious food to your diet, a little at a time. Start by adding vegetables to one meal or drinking a glass of water each time you eat. As you nourish your body, it will become easier to replace trigger foods without focusing on restriction.
Track Daily Metrics
Set aside time each day to note what’s happening in your mind and body. Write your pain level with some notes about your activities throughout the day. This resource can help you identify triggers, track treatment progress, and let go of stress.
Find a Grounding Routine
When your pain is flaring up, it can feel impossible to focus on anything else. Create a grounding routine to move through the pain and distract yourself. Grounding routines are often used in anxiety treatments and can help shift your focus. Here are some common grounding routines to try.
Practice Positive Self-Talk
When you’re in pain, it’s all too easy to fall down a slippery slope into negative self-talk. Work to create a positive self-talk routine that encourages you and helps give you the self-confidence to get through the day. Learn to recognize when you’re engaging in negative self-talk so that you can change your internal narrative.
Connect with Kindred Spirits
Finally, make time each day to connect with someone who understands what you’re experiencing. Read a blog post, send a message on a forum, or participate in a support group. Knowing you’re not alone is half the battle.
With these eight tips, you can make the burden of chronic pain a little lighter.

It’s compulsory to vote in Australia.
We are one of a handful of countries in the world that enforce this rule at election time, and the only English-speaking country that makes its citizens vote.
Not only that, we embrace it. We celebrate compulsory voting with barbeques and cake stalls at polling stations, and election parties that spill over into Sunday morning.
But how did this come to be: when and why was voting in Australia made compulsory? How has this affected our politics? And how else is the way we vote different from other democracies?
Lively and inspiring, ‘From Secret Ballot to Democracy Sausage’ is a landmark account of the character of Australian democracy by the celebrated historian Judith Brett, the prize-winning biographer of Alfred Deakin.

Creating Strong Passwords: Do’s and Don’ts
Do’s:1. Make sure it contains a lot of characters – use the maximum length available!
2. Contain a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Make substitutions, such as $ for S.
3. Be unique to each site you log into. Using the same password to access multiple accounts means hackers could access all your accounts with a single password. If remembering them all sounds tricky, consider using a password manager such as Lastpass, Keepass or the built-in browser one.
1. Do note re-use old passwords.
2. Not include keyboard patterns e.g. ‘Qwerty’ or ‘12345’.
3. Not include something obvious or relevant to you, personal information such as your name, your pets name or the first line of your address. Even better, make it a word not in the dictionary at all. Consider using an acronym from a phrase.
Sometimes next to a password, another form of security is required. This can come in the form of a (security) token. Security tokens are physical devices that are used to acces restricted resources online. The token is being used in combination with a password, or it can replace the password completely. You can consider the token as an electronic key. Security tokens provide an extra level of assurance through a method known as two-factor authentication: the user has a personal identification pin-number, which authorizes them as the owner of that token. The token then displays a number which uniquely identifies the user to the service, allowing them to log in. Tokens are often used by companies that require an extra form of security (banks, governments).
Tokens with even higher security use biometric information. A password is something you know, tokens is something you have but biometric information is something you are. A fingerprint is the most common biometric factor thanks to the proliferation of fingerprint-enabled smartphones in the market. Other examples of biometric factors would be the face, retina (eye), heartbeat or your voice. Biometric security is being developed and in the future we will use more biometric information to login securely.

Words are the building blocks of sentences. Sentences are the building blocks of paragraphs. Paragraphs are the building blocks of storytelling.
TIP: Paragraphs are units of thought that provide cohesion to the story. They give the reader a rest between ideas.
TIP: Very long paragraphs can be tedious. Shorter paragraphs improve readability. An endless series of single-sentence paragraphs can be annoying, however.
Be sparing. Paragraphs should be unified ideas with no wasted words. Avoid big blocks of text.
Inject variety. A variety of paragraphs will engage the reader. However, consistent use of long or short paragraphs can create a distinctive style, though that carries risks.
Be aware of effect. A long paragraph can work well as a mini-narrative or flashback, a story within the story. A short paragraph after a long one can produce surprise.
Respect rhythm. Paragraph lengths sets the tempo. The break between paragraphs are pauses. Longer paragraphs can therefore slow the story down when needed. Shorter paragraphs can speed it up, such as during a climax scene.
TRICKS: How to check your readability statistics.
Flesh Reading Ease:
The resulting score corresponds with U.S. grade level omprehension. A score of 6 is considered ideal.
You can check your Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid scores in Word. Highlight some text, click Review, then Spelling and Grammar, then Show Readability Statistics.
Oh dear. Somebody’s having a bad day:
Reader Ease Ideal: The Reader Ease Ideal score, promulgated by James Smith, is the Flesch score minus the Flesch-Kincaid score. Smith delineates varying Reader Ease Ideal scores with an evaluation of pacing. A score of 86+, for example, is a “breakneck pace.”
You can do this for your entire book, scene by scene (as shown in the below example covering the first 35 scenes for my novel SEPARATION) to get a pulse for your book’s pacing. You can also apply it to individual parts of your scene (beginning, middle, end). Rising pace is good toward climactic scenes. Variety is good instead of a flat band running across.
Of course, there’s something missing here in these statistics, which is quality. To be clear, these are pacing tools. How easily will the reader understand what you’re saying so they keep turning pages? Of course, the rest is up to you. What words populate these pages.
And that’s paragraphs. In my next post, we’ll talk about how to compose scenes.

Searching by Grade Level
Our motto is "WRITE IT SO THEY CAN READ IT"
We have developed an algorithm for searching by grade level. The core concept in our algorithm is the NAGL (rhymes with bagel). NAGL stands for National Average Grade Level (at which a given concept is taught in the USA).
Every term taught in K-16 has a NAGL. By extension a document that is suitable for use in education also has a NAGL.
In our ranking algorithm, each document is assigned a NAGL based on the NAGL of the most advanced terminology in the document. The rationale is that students studying at lower grades cannot read the document, because they will not have learned the subject yet. Likewise, those studying at higher grades do not need the document, because they have already studied the subject and learned the concept and terminology. Thus the most advanced terms in the document should correspond to the specific subject under study. If not then the document is incorrectly designed as afar a instruction goes.
The NAGL of each term is presently estimated based on analysis of standards of learning from a sample of states. Because the NAGL is an average, students in many cases will be studying a given terminology and subject in a grade other than the NAGL. Other data sources and approaches to estimating the NAGL can be developed, including for other countries.
The present NAGL algorithm is developed in the following steps:
The underlying assumption is that terminology and subject matter always correspond. That is, in order to learn about X one has to talk about X. More technically, we define a concept as what one has to know in order to use a term correctly. A concept is therefore a body of knowledge. In any given subject the concepts are part the core knowledge and therefore to learn a subject is to learn its terminology. In short, words embody core knowledge.

Is Soy Bad For You? Soy Proteins Side Effects on You
Soy is considered healthy and a great alternative to meat products. Soy is made from soybean, and is of 3 forms. They are soy milk, soy fibre and soy protein. Recently it has been shown that soy has some side effects too. Using it for a short time, like six months, is safe. But if you consume it for longer period of time, it can be unsafe.
Why does soy protein affect us negatively?
Soy protein contains various toxins in it, including phytic acid, hemaglutinin, phytoestrogens and trypsin inhibitors, which are responsible for the side effects you suffer from. However, by using it in limited mounts, you can avoid these side effects.
Dangerous Side effects of Soy Protein:
Causes gastrointestinal discomfort:
Soy contains high amounts of proteins. It also contains a compound that can prevent the digestion of protein. As a result, we suffer from bloating, constipation and upset of stomach. When soy breaks down in the body, it releases a mucus-like substance, which can form a coating on the inner walls of the gastrointestinal tract. This produces lots of mucus` and slows down the digestive process. All these can lead to acute stomach aches, irritable bowel syndrome or diarrhoea.
Causes hypothyroidism if unnoticed:
If you already have an underactive thyroid gland, you may develop hypothyroidism or other autoimmune thyroid diseases by consuming soy products. This is because of the presence of goitrogens and phytoestrogens in soy.
According to studies made, soy milk can bring down the levels of iodine in the body. When iodine is deficient in the body, the thyroid gland cannot work efficiently. This can lead to hypothyroidism, insomnia, weight gain, digestive issues and mood swings.
Chances of getting breast cancer is high:
Studies made have shown that soy isoflavones have the ability to enhance the number of the epithelial cells present in female breasts. This means that isoflavones in soy can disrupt the functioning of estrogen hormones, thereby increasing the risk of breast cancer by turning the epithelial cells in to cancerous cells.
But there are certain studies that contraindicate this negative impact of soy protein. So, to be on the safer side, it is better to limit the amount of soy protein that you consume. If you have a family history of breast cancer, you should avoid this protein.
Causes sudden heavy periods:
Another study shows that women who consume genetically modified soy protein can have abnormally long menstruation, with heavy bleeding. This is called Heavy menstrual bleeding or ‘Menorrhagia’ in medical terms.
Causes Bladder cancer:
Consuming soy protein in excess can increase the risk of bladder cancer. The risk is more if you have a genetic history of bladder cancer. Then it is important that you stay away from soy proteins and soy-infused foods.
Many of you take concentrated soy isoflavone supplements to provide your body with the protein required. Using these tablets for long periods of time can lead to endometrial cancer. Pregnant women should always avoid such supplements as they can cause harm to the foetus also.
Harmful to the pancreas:
Soy protein contains inhibitors that can affect the activities of trypsin, a digestive enzyme. Trypsin is essential for braking down proteins in the small intestine. It is secreted by the pancreas in the form of trypsinogen. Studies made show that the inhibitors interfere with the functioning of this enzyme and cause damage o the pancreas as a result of it.
Increases the risk of blood clots:
Soy contains a toxin named hemaglutinin, which can clump red blood corpuscles and create small to big blood clots. It affects the normal flow of blood and obstructs various functions of the body.
Kidney failure issues:
Soy is a natural source of aluminium. When this enters the body in excess, it can lead to various renal diseases. The oxalate in soy can cause kidney stones. Your digestive system finds it difficult to process these oxalates. As a result, it gets accumulated in the kidneys. When the levels reach extremely high, it gets converted to kidney stones. You should avoid soy protein if you have a history of renal failure or any other renal disorders.
Lead to Low libido symptoms:
Men are also affected by soy protein. Soy protein can reduce libido in men. Two other components in soy protein, daidzein and genistein, can inhibit estrogen. They can cause erectile dysfunction in men. Men who use soy protein can suffer from mood swings, gynecomastia, lower sperm count and excess growth of body and facial hair.
Obstructs mineral absorption:
Phytic acid or phytates are found in high amounts in soy. This can prevent your body from absorbing minerals that are essential for the body, like calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and so on. When these minerals are not absorbed by the body, you may suffer from Vitamin D deficiency, fatigue, anaemia, fast breathing, palpitations, rapid heart rate and so on.
Woman’s fertility is affected:
According to studies made, soy can impact the reproductive system in women. So, if you find it difficult to become pregnant, make sure that you control the consumption of soy. Women who eat genetically modified soy protein are more at a risk of developing retrograde menstruation. Here women experience period cycle halts. This can cause endometriosis, which is one of the primary causes for infertility in women.
You can see endocrine disruption symptoms:
Soy is rich in ‘biologically active compounds’, such as genistein, daidzein, glycitein etc, which are called ‘isoflavones’. They are estrogen disruptors, and can disrupt our endocrine system. They can boost or decrease the activities of natural estrogens. As a result we suffer from hormonal imbalance.
Genetically modified soy protein contains glyphosate, which can affect the endocrine system in women. This hinders the functioning of aromatase, which produces estrogen. Estrogen has an important role in pregnancy. It is produced in high levels during pregnancy. Lower levels of this hormone can be harmful for the foetus and the would-be mother.
Asthma, gout, skin rashes, itching, skin allergies etc are other side effects of soy protein. So, make sure that you take it in moderate amounts. It is better to consult your doctor before you include soy protein in your daily diet.

19th President: Rutherford B Hayes, 1877
Tap = 19 (Hayes was the 19th president)
Haze = Hayes
Thick wig = 877 = 1877 became president
Rudder Ford = Rutheford
Under the tap (19) he cooled himself down. In the heat haze (Hayes) he had worn his thick wig (877 = 1877) and he had overheated.
Connect Hayes to Rutherford
Through the haze (Hayes), an old Ford with a rudder (rudder Ford – Rutherford) appeared. It was a taxi to take him home.
NOTE: The way Mammoth Memory remembers Rutherford is to think Rutherford – Rudder Ford.

You should not store your crypto on an exchange, nor should you pay through an exchange.
Cryptocurrency exchanges are convenient but unsafe. Blockchain, the technology underlying cryptocurrencies, was designed to fend off cyber attacks. However, this only works if users stay true to its principles.
All cryptocurrency addresses are tied to a private and public keys. The public key allows users to send money to that address, while the private key allows its owner of the key to send money to other addresses. With that your funds are secure if you keep your key private.
Exchanges store private keys on behalf of their users. And in return the exchange enables their users to easily trade between cryptocurrencies and fiat.
Having all private keys in one place encourages cyber attacks on exchanges and therefore creates a less secure and private environment for the end user. Although, many exchanges have an extensive security teams, attacks on exchanges are sill being made.
Cryptocurrencies, in their core, aim to create a safe and secure trading environment. Exchanges can create a flaw in that environment. Therefore we suggest that you hold your funds in a private wallet, and only send funds to an exchange to trade.

Report on Sangay (Ecuador) — 17 June-23 June 2020
Smithsonian / US Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 17 June-23 June 2020
Managing Editor: Sally Kuhn Sennert
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 2020. Report on Sangay (Ecuador). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 17 June-23 June 2020. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
2.005°S, 78.341°W; summit elev. 5286 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
On 16 June the Servicio Nacional de Gestión de Riesgos y Emergencias (SNGRE) declared a Yellow Alert for the province of Chimborazo due to a recent increase in ashfall from Sangay. IG reported a continuing high level of activity during 16-22 June, though weather clouds often prevented visual observations. According to the IG and Washington VAAC notices ash plumes rose 570-870 m above the summit and drifted W and SW. Incandescent blocks descending the SE flank were seen through breaks in cloud cover overnight during 17-18 June.
SNGRE reported that lahars in the Upano River in the morning of 21 June followed heavy rains two days earlier. In Macas (40 km SE) the lahars caused the closure of the E45 Macas-Puyo road, destroying a 27-m section and damaging a 30-m section, and the evacuation of 21 people.
Geologic Background. The isolated Sangay volcano, located east of the Andean crest, is the southernmost of Ecuador's volcanoes and its most active. The steep-sided, glacier-covered, dominantly andesitic volcano grew within horseshoe-shaped calderas of two previous edifices, which were destroyed by collapse to the east, producing large debris avalanches that reached the Amazonian lowlands. The modern edifice dates back to at least 14,000 years ago. It towers above the tropical jungle on the east side; on the other sides flat plains of ash have been sculpted by heavy rains into steep-walled canyons up to 600 m deep. The earliest report of a historical eruption was in 1628. More or less continuous eruptions were reported from 1728 until 1916, and again from 1934 to the present. The almost constant activity has caused frequent changes to the morphology of the summit crater complex.

The value of x
int x, y = 4, z = 6;
x = (y++) * (++z);
y++ evaluates y, then increments it (post incrementation)
++z increments z, then evaluates it (pre incrementation)
z=6, ++z which will first increase z value from 6 to 7
Hope this solution will help.

Learn how to use VLOOKUP in Microsoft Excel. Once you’ve mastered the concept see how to use it in your models and what to watch out for. This command is extremely useful when trying to extract data out of lists of information. Below are links to the Excel video tutorials touching on this lookup command.
NEW: Go to VLOOKUP Explanations with downloadable exercises and detailed solution
Learn how to use the VLOOKUP function in Microsoft Excel. The function enables you to pull through various bits of information based on some reference point.
Excel Help Description: Searches for a value in the leftmost column of a table, and then returns a value in the same row from a column you specify in the table. Use V-LOOKUP instead of H-LOOKUP when your comparison values are located in a column to the left of the data you want to find. The V in V-LOOKUP stands for “Vertical.”
Handling Large VLOOKUP tables- click here to see tutorial
Once you have mastered VLOOKUP you may find that you use it for large datasets. The problem is that when you make changes to your spreadsheet you sometimes need to go through all the VLOOKUP cells and change the column reference. Learn how to avoid this!

What Happens to Your Tooth Enamel If You Brush Too Roughly
Posted on 11/9/2020 by Dr. Brendan Johnson
It might seem like the best thing to do to take care of your oral hygiene is to brush your teeth as roughly as possible to get out all the bacteria, debris, and plaque. In fact, the harder you brush, the more counterproductive it becomes to get your teeth clean and sustain the ideal oral health.
Enamel Cannot Repair Itself
The enamel on your teeth is one of the hardest surfaces in your body. It prevents your teeth from damage, bacteria, and other trauma. However, this enamel is not invincible. If it is significantly damaged it cannot repair itself. One way that enamel becomes damaged is by continually brushing your teeth too hard.
This wears away and erodes the enamel, which acts as a hard protective shield to your teeth and the nerves close to the surface. Damaged enamel will leave your teeth susceptible to the bacteria and acids that food leaves behind. This damage could then lead to cavities or further problems if not treated.
Damaged and Discolored Teeth
Enamel is a white, glossy covering of your teeth. If it is eroded away from the constant rough brushing or harsh flossing, your teeth will begin to change color. They will either begin to look yellow or a darker shade of their natural hue. Enamel that is damaged or eroded does not have the full protective capability of your teeth.
Therefore, the nerve endings that are close to the surface of your teeth can become damaged which makes your teeth sensitive. Drinking or eating hot or cold foods will become difficult due to this increased sensitivity, or eating harder foods could become painful with the additional pressure on your teeth.
If you believe you might be brushing your teeth too hard, we are here to help. Call our Integrated Dental professionals today at (631) 659-5599, to discuss best practices of brushing and flossing your teeth to keep them white, healthy, and strong.

a) ‘Rule of law’ is a fundamental requirement for a democratic polity?
Rule of law is an Aristotelian concept which implies that the law of the land is supreme. Every position of influence – be it the elected representatives or the President has to abide by the law of the land. It provides for the limitations of power.
Rule of law has many advantages –
1. It curbs discretion and arbitrary use of power
2. It ensures the separation of the executive and the law-making bodies. This further ensures that laws made are unbiased.
3. If the laws are just, then Rule of Law implies that the law has uniform applicability. Hence, it leaves no scope for discrimination.
4.Absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory enforcement, civil justice, and criminal justice
5. Further, it is conducive to businesses and investments.
Democracy is a system where the ones being governed have a say in who governs them and how they are governed. It is designed to keep in mind the best interest of the masses.
Rule of law is indeed a fundamental requirement for a democratic polity. Without rule of law, the most natural rights of the masses will be endangered.
At the same time, it should be noted that the rule of law might be a necessary condition but not a sufficient condition for a healthy democracy. Along with the Rule of Law, institutions that ensure proper enforcement of the law are also important. A merit-based bureaucracy, distance from religion are among other points.
b)What do you think of India’s performance on this parameter?
India’s case has been very unique. India, on paper, has the rule of law. The powers and responsibilities of major offices are defined. Proper punishments for malpractices have also been clearly listed.
Despite that, India’s performance wrt execution of laws remains flawed. The reasons are
2.Civil and criminal justice – access to justice, presence of alternate dispute resolution mechanisms, absence of government influence still remain an issue.
3.Corruption – India ranks low in the corruption index.
4. Order and Security – Law and order situation has been very poor.
Strengthening our institutions is the need of the hour. Without strong institutions, it will become very hard to uphold the rule of law.

‘I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.’ — I Corinthians 3:6, NIV
April is the month for gardens. Although many things can be planted that are able to resist some of the cold and frost, most home gardeners do their serious planting after the middle of April. For years, I’ve been told that after April 20, the likelihood of frost is low in the Midwest.
People who put out gardens like to watch things grow. However, they all realize a universal truth. They alone cannot make plants grow.
Planting is the first step to growing.
Gardens tend to be a new beginning in an old place. This makes gardens a good object lesson for life. No changes come to a life without planting a fresh seed in old soil.
While new seeds may be planted in your own life, you also should plant seeds in the lives of others. The seeds may be the gospel of Christ, new life skills or a new area of interest. Such seeds can grow into a renewed life, more abilities or more pleasure.
You must give attention to seeds and seedlings.
The second step mentioned in I Corinthians 3:6 is watering. A good gardener never lets seeds or young plants languish in difficult circumstances. Furnishing seeds and new plants with food and water is essential for maximum growth and production.
Seeds that are planted into the lives of others also require attention and nourishment.
This can be accomplished by modeling proper behavior and attitudes for others to see. Training, help and friendship can go a long way toward giving the seeds a good environment for growth.
God causes growth and increase.
Nearly everyone who puts out a garden has experienced seeds that did not grow, or plants that did not survive. Ultimately, according to the Apostle Paul, growth or increase can only be caused by God.
Every seed that is planted into a life must be accompanied by faith in God to make it viable. Even the seeds that we plant in the ground require a measure of faith. We can put them in the soil, pour on water and provide plant food. Without God’s part, a harvest is never a sure thing.
The psalmist says, “They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.”

- Flowerpot with fresh soil
- Cover plastic
- Plant sprayer
First eat the mango like you’ll always eat it.
Then remove the flesh from the pit.
Grab a knife and carefully break open the pit.
Inside the wick you’ll find a brownish hard pit. This pit has a bit of the shape of a broad bean.
Moisten the soil in the flowerpot with a plant sprayer.
Then place the pit in the middle of the pot, and gently push the pit on. It is important to place the light ‘eye’ upwards. This is where the leaf finally comes out.
Then place a plastic cover foil over the flowerpot with wick. In this way you keep the environment in front of the pit constantly moist. Ideal for a mango to grow up in!
Place the flowerpot in a place in the half shade. If you have the possibilities, a mango grows best in a warm environment.
After about 2 to 3 weeks the first leaves will appear.
Tip! A mango is a tropical plant. As soon as the plant has developed enough leaves, and therefore also enough roots, you can let it get used to sunlight more and more. Eventually, the mango plant may be placed in a spot with direct sunlight. But, the plant has to be strong enough for that.

Pancreatitis, Diverticulitis, Appendicitis
Pancreatitis inflammation of the pancreas that occurs when pancreatic enzyme secretions build up and begin to digest the organ itself. It can occur as acute, painful attacks lasting a matter of days, or it may be a chronic, condition that progresses over a period of years. Depending on the cause of pancreatitis, the patient's anatomy, level of pain, and other factors, Mr Karametos will discuss appropriate treatment plans with you.
Most people with diverticulitis will not need surgery. The condition can usually be treated with antibiotics, bowel rest and probiotics.
When someone has an acute diverticulitis attack, they may need to be hospitalised. They may receive antibiotics and fluids intravenously together with pain medication.
Mr Karametos will admit you into hospital and will endeavour to treat your infection without surgery. Occasionally percutaneous drainage of a diverticular abscess/collection using radiological minimally invasive procedures is employed. Rarely, surgery is required.
The appendix is a narrow tube that attaches to the first part of the colon. It is usually located in the lower right quadrant of the abdominal cavity. The appendix produces bacterium destroying proteins called immunoglobulins, which help fight infection in the body. Its function, however, is not essential. Appendicitis occurs when there is inflammation of the appendix. It can be acute or chronic. Symptoms of appendicitis include pain in the abdomen, often on the right side, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fever, and abdominal swelling. Symptoms often include mild cramping that becomes more severe over time. Often the cause appendicitis is unknown. It may be due to obstruction of the appendix.
Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical problems. Treatment requires an operation to remove the infected appendix. Removal of the appendix can be done through open incisions or through a laparoscope. Advantages of Laparoscopic Appendectomy are: Less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, quicker return to normal activity, and better cosmetic results.

What makes you happy?
We know that people have an impact on nature, but how does nature affect us? The list below shows what makes us happy. It is based on case studies and has been compiled in the book An ecology of happiness by Professor Eric Lambin. The winner of the Volvo Environment Prize 2014.
Check out the list of ways to make you happy. Does nature make you happy?
1. Five Daily
Studies show that as little as five minutes of exercise in natural surroundings every day will improve your mood and your self-esteem. Exercising outdoors close to water will have the very best effect.
2. Avoid Relatives
Vacations spent in natural surroundings generate a stronger sense of happiness than vacations with family in a city, or by relaxing at home. In addition, people who vacationed in natural surroundings perform better in tests requiring a high degree of concentration.
3. Plant More
People who spend time gardening are able to handle stress better
4. View 1
People who work in office environments and have trees, shrubs or flowers outside their windows are more content than those who look out at a parking lot or other buildings – and suffer from fewer headaches.
5. View 2
People who have had surgery revoker better if they have a view of nature. They are able to leave hospital earlier, require fewer painkillers ,and have a generally more positive attitude.
6. Breath Fresh Air
A study in several European countries determined that the higher the level of air pollution is, the less happy people seem to be.
7. Impact From Politicians
A UK study has shown that concern for the environment has a negative impact on our level of happiness, and that politicians and decision-makers who are tasked with resolving environmental problems and protecting nature have a posit impact on the happiness of citizens.
8. Say It With An Image
Even images of nature have an impact on us, although not as much as actual experiences in natural surroundings. Patients who are waiting for the dentist in a waiting room with images of beautiful landscapes are said to be less worried while waiting than those waiting in other types of rooms.

What Is Strabismus?
Strabismus is when eyes don't line up or when one or both eyes wander. The eyes may turn:
- inward (called esotropia or "cross-eyed")
- outward (exotropia)
- up (hypertropia)
- down (hypotropia)
When eyes don't line up together, the straight or straighter eye becomes dominant. The vision strength (acuity) of this eye stays normal because the eye and its connection to the brain are working as they should. The misaligned or weaker eye, though, doesn't focus as it should and its connection to the brain doesn't form correctly.
Sometimes, strabismus is very noticeable. Other times, it might only be noticed when a child is tired or looking at something very closely.
Strabismus usually can be fixed when found and treated early. If it's not treated, the brain eventually will ignore the visual images of the weaker eye. This change — called amblyopia, or "lazy eye" — can make vision blurry, cause double vision, and harm a child's depth perception (seeing in 3D). These problems can become permanent if they're not treated.
How Do Kids Get It?
Kids can be born with strabismus or develop it in childhood. Often, it's caused by a problem with the muscles that move the eyes, and can run in families.
Most kids with strabismus are diagnosed when they're between 1 and 4 years old. Rarely, a child might develop strabismus after age 6. If this happens, it's important for the child to see a doctor right away to rule out other conditions.
What Are the Signs of Strabismus?
Most kids with strabismus don't complain of eye problems or notice changes in their vision. Usually, it's a family member, teacher, or health care provider who notices that the eyes are not straight.
Some kids may complain of double vision (seeing two objects when there's only one in view) or have trouble seeing things in general. These problems also can affect reading skills and classroom learning. Younger kids who aren't talking yet may squint a lot and turn or tilt their heads in an attempt to see more clearly.
If your child has any of these signs or symptoms, tell your health care provider. He or she can refer you to a pediatric ophthalmologist for care, if needed.
How Is Strabismus Diagnosed?
It's normal for a newborn's eyes to wander or cross occasionally during the first few months of life. But by the time a baby is 4 to 6 months old, the eyes usually straighten out. If one or both eyes continue to wander in, out, up, or down — even once in a while — it's probably due to strabismus.
How Is Strabismus Treated?
The earlier strabismus is treated, the better. This is because key connections between a child's eyes and brain form by about 8 years old.
Treatment for strabismus may include:
- eye patching
- eye drops
- eye muscle surgery
Sometimes, wearing eyeglasses is enough to straighten out the eyes. If not, a child might be given an eye patch to wear over the straight eye for a few hours a day. This patch makes the weaker eye do the "seeing" work. Over time, the muscles and vision in the weaker eye become stronger.
Getting a baby or toddler to accept wearing an eye patch can be a challenge. But most kids get used to the patch. Wearing it becomes part of their daily routine, like getting dressed in the morning.
Sometimes, though, kids refuse to wear an eye patch. Then, eye drops (called atropine drops) might be used instead. Just as eye patching blocks the vision in the straight eye, the atropine drops temporarily blur out vision in that eye. This makes the weaker eye work harder so that eye muscles and vision get stronger.
If eyeglasses, eye patching, and/or atropine drops can't fix a child's strabismus, eye muscle surgery might be needed. Surgery involves loosening or tightening the muscles that cause the eye to wander. Most kids can go home the same day of surgery.
Regular eye exams are the best way to detect strabismus. Early diagnosis and treatment better a child's chances of having straight eyes and developing good vision and depth perception. But older kids and teens (and even many adults with strabismus) can still benefit from treatment.
Also keep in mind the social aspect to strabismus. Aligned eyes are important for a healthy self-image in adults and kids.

Brief Explanation Of Steel Roll Forming Machine
We have to know the principle of steel roll forming machine before operating it. And we’ll talk about what bending and its result really is.
Bending is a metal forming process in which a force is applied to a piece of sheet metal, causing it to bend at an angle and form the desired shape. A bending operation causes deformation along one axis, but a sequence of several different operations can be performed to create a complex part. Bent parts can be quite small, such as a bracket, or up to 20 feet in length, such as a large enclosure or chassis. A bend can be characterized by several different parameters.
The act of bending results in both tension and compression in the sheet metal. The outside portion of the sheet will undergo tension and stretch to a greater length, while the inside portion experiences compression and shortens. The neutral axis is the boundary line inside the sheet metal, along which no tension or compression forces are present. As a result, the length of this axis remains constant.

There are over 300 alternative cancer treatments though you will be hard-pressed to find someone that knows more than five. Researchers and doctors have been looking for a cure for cancer for years and there are many methods of treatment that have resulted from this research. Alternative cancer treatments are effective because there are minerals and nutrients that actually target cancels better than other treatments. You can also look for stage 4 cancer treatments in Mexico.
Image source: Google
Alternative cancer treatments are also highly desired because they do not kill healthy cells as chemotherapy does. Two natural minerals that can enter the cell and fight cancer include cesium and potassium. When the concentration of these minerals is high in cancer cells the glucose intake is stopped and the cancer cell will die of starvation. In order for your body to get rid of the dead cancer cells the doses must be paced and in order to safely use these products you still do need to consult a doctor.
Balancing your body's pH using food and supplements is an alternative cancer treatment. You will need to constantly test your urine and saliva to check your pH but there are many kits available. Besides eating certain foods and taking supplements you also need to drink a lot of water. Your pH is important to your oxygen consumption and CO2 expulsion. Low Oxygen creates a perfect environment for cancer growth so getting as much O2 as possible can help fight cancer.
Another important alternative cancer treatment is to boost your immune system. This is your first line of defense and doing all you can to boost the immune system is important. For more information on alternative cancer treatments start doing some research and collecting information. Then speak with an oncologist about the effectiveness of the treatment.

The Nellie Mae Education Foundation, in partnership with the RAND Corporation, has been working hand in hand with teachers, school leaders, and researchers to develop a set of criteria that detail the characteristics of high-quality, student-centered learning in classrooms, schools, and districts — a Student-Centered Learning Continuum (SCL Continuum). This continuum represents a research-based definition of student-centered learning, and is based upon a year of work with RAND’s education team, who conducted a thorough review of literature and tools used to measure student-centered learning and consulted experts in the field. We hope this definition provides clarity about the innovative ways in which classrooms, schools, and districts approach student-centered learning.
This resource is a product of the Foundation’s commitment to student-centered approaches over the past eight years—an important tool that we believe will be of use to the field. We are still learning about the connections between student-centered approaches to learning and advancing equity in the field of education.
Because every context is different, we don’t believe there is a purposeful path every learning environment needs to follow to high-level SCL; progressions towards SCL are more fluid in practice.

Read our 2019 annual report
Evidence from a nutrition and gender-sensitive agriculture project in Zambia
The RAIN project benefited women and children in many ways. It improved several aspects of women’s empowerment and IYCF knowledge, and reduced child diarrhoea.
RAIN, however, had limited impacts on IYCF practices and no impact on child stunting ( (the impaired growth and development that children experience from poor nutrition, repeated infection, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation). Strengthening programme implementation and fostering higher participation rates could support greater impacts on child nutrition outcomes.

For homework this week we would like you to explore your surroundings! How many different types of plant can you find in your garden or the local park? How are their leaves different? Draw 3 different leaves that you find.
In your homework book, you have a grid for collecting the data about the growth of your two seeds. Keep this up to date; we will be using the data later in the term.
We have been learning about data handling this week, using tally charts to collect data and then presenting it as pictograms. For home learning, choose the five words which you think will be the most common in your reading book. Draw a table and then tally how many times those words appear in one chapter (if your book does not have chapters, use the whole book!). Don’t forget to work out the frequency for each word (the total number of times).

The 19th Century Office
In the late 19th century , commercial offices for conducting business first appeared in the United States. The railroad , telegraph and then the telephone were invented allowing for instant remote communication. Wherever manufacturing existed, for example in a mill or factory, the administrative office could now be placed at a distance. Other inventions that promoted the office included: electric lighting, the typewriter, and calculating machines.

Madagascar: Cultural Melting Pot
The Malagasy people are very pleasant and display a love for life and a happy attitude even though the country is very poor. The average worker in the country takes home a wage of approximately $1 US per day. Principle pursuit is farming or herding the ubiquitous Zebu, a distinctly bovine creature that appears regularly on all menus. France colonized Madagascar in the 18th Century and still have an influence even though independence was achieved in the 1960s. Many of the Malagasy practice Christianity but the majority practice a religion very similar to the Torajan practice in Indonesia which places fundamental importance on life after death and a very special reverence for ones ancestors.

Experts develop new glasses to reduce progression of myopia in children
Myopia that affects the eyes is a very common disease. Severe myopia can even cause blindness.
A huge chunk of the world population is affected by myopia today. However, there is some good news for children.
Experts have created glasses called Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) Spectacle lens. This will slow the progression of myopia in children. The glasses will be launched soon in the market.
Myopia is also called nearsightedness. It happens when your eye grows too long to focus images clearly on your retina. It can also happen when the lens of your eyes are too thick.
The glasses were developed by a group of researchers from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It reduces the progression of myopia up to 60% in children. It even stopped vision loss in nearly 21% of children who used it.
Earlier, contact lenses were used to stop the progression of blindness. But this is unhealthy, especially for children. Most of them get eye infections after regular usage of contact lenses.
This new lens is definitely going to be a boon to many children who are affected by myopia or short-sightedness.

THERE ARE TEN PROHIBITED SUBJECTS
1. Don’t write military information of Army units — their location, strength,, material, or equipment.
2. Don’t write of military installations.
3. Don’t write of transportation facilities.
4. Don’t write of convoys, their routes, ports (including ports of embarkation and disembarkation), time en route, naval protection, or war incidents occurring en route.
5. Don’t disclose movements of ships, naval or merchant, troops, or aircraft.
6. Don’t mention plans and forecasts or orders for future operations, whether known or just your guess.
7. Don’t write about the effect of enemy operations.
8. Don’t tell of any casualty until released by proper authority (The Adjutant General) and then only by using the full name of the casualty.
9. Don’t attempt to formulate or use a code system, cipher, or shorthand, or any other means to conceal the true meaning of your letter.
10. Don’t give your location in any way except as authorized by proper authority. Be sure nothing you write about discloses a more specific location than the one authorized.
SILENCE MEANS SECURITY — If violation of protective measures is serious within written communications it is disastrous in conversations. Protect your conversation, emails and letters and be even more careful.
If you come home during war your lips must remain sealed and your written hand must be guided by self-imposed censorship.

We’ve gathered the best textbook recycling facts and paired them with our experience and expertise to provide you with comprehensive recycling facts and information.
How are Batteries Recycled?
Answer: very carefully. The important thing to remember is to properly sort the batteries by chemistry to prepare them for recycling. Some batteries are mechanically processed and some use high temperature metal reclamation (HTMR), while others use a combination. Click below to find out how each battery is recycled.
There are federal, state and local regulations to consider in battery recycling. The overarching laws are set by the EPA to protect human health and the environment so that heavy and/or toxic metals are not leached into ground water via a landfill and ensure toxic metals are properly recycled.
Try to name five different battery types. Could you do it? After reviewing this section, you will be able to name so many more types, understand their common uses and learn about their safety.
Recycling benefits everyone. It enables the reuse of materials that would otherwise be used and discarded. It reduces the need for mining and refining virgin materials.
Tell us how many you have and we will give you a solution based on your needs. It’s that easy.

Safe driving is no accident. It is because of responsible parents and teens, driver education/training, DMV licensing, good laws, and better law enforcement. And all of the above work for safety and help keep motorists from being recalled by their Maker.
Safety researchers say 80 percent of vehicle crashes are attributed to distractions. Such distractions are responsible for some 5,500 automobile fatalities annually, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the problem of mobile phone use and texting and talking behind the wheel has become epidemic.
Practically all driver safety specialists agree texting is the major distraction causing crashes. The three main types of distractions are visual, taking your eyes off the road; manual, taking your hands off the wheel; and cognitive, taking your mind off what you are doing. While all distractions can endanger safety, texting is the most alarming because it involves all three types of distractions.
Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for up to 4.6 seconds. At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of a football field!
Most lawmakers agree “in the multitude of counselors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:14; 24:6). May they listen to safety professionals and pass laws for better safety.
The June 2012 release by the Governors Highway Safety Association shows that many state lawmakers are listening. It was mentioned that 39 states, D.C., Guam and the Virgin Islands ban text messaging for all drivers. A texting bill is needed in South Carolina to build traffic bridges for young people (and others) to keep their blood off the highway.
A problem to overcome is distinguishing the difference between personal liberty and public safety. A person may feel he has the liberty to drive into an oncoming lane and crash, but we have laws to hinder such unsafe driving.
Texting causes unsafe driving. One’s personal liberty should end where public safety begins and good laws are needed to limit liberty when it comes to public safety!
There is a maxim that states “justice is better when it prevents rather than punishes with severity.” William E. Gladstone said that “good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.”
A good law with tough enforcement can help to reduce deadly distracted driving behavior. As the seat belt law encourages more seat belt use while driving, a texting law will encourage less texting while driving. May our Senate leaders soon pass the texting bill like the House has done!

Thomas Jefferson - Declaration - Aristotle - Natural law
Thomas Jefferson- Although founding father Thomas Jefferson did not sign the constitution, his ideas and political views greatly influenced it. He illustrated the vast idea or vision of a free society and the Leviathan government which we have implemented to this day. Jefferson was a man that could be described as an "ultimate defender of Liberty." He had a strong belief that power corrupts, therefore contributing to the idea of a democracy after the deceleration. He wrote the Declaration of Independence, giving the 13 original colonies liberties, which eventually lead to the birth of the Constitution.
The Deceleration- This historic document goes hand in hand with the constitution. The Deceleration of independence could be described as the "thought and spirit" of the Constitution. In the Declaration of independence, the founding fathers established the core values on which the Constitution was to operate. For example, in the Declaration it describes how the King "refused his Assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good" and "constrained fellow citizens to bear arms". These two claims against the King created the 1st and 2nd Amendments of the constitution later on.
Aristotle & Plato- These two Greek philosophers implemented the actual word "Constitution" before it was even written. They both believed that the word constitution could be defined as "The way of life." The philosophers supported the idea of natural law and said that constitution is not a written document, but an imminent organizing principle that had a correlation with natural law. They said that "citizens are that minority of the resident population who possess full political rights."
Natural Law- One could say that the Constitution is a direct reflection of natural law. In the constitution it states, "each person endowed to the rights to life, liberty, and property." These are the morals and values implemented into the Constitution. It is the basis or rules of life that we are born with. The Constitution expresses these laws we are born with by that quote. It explains how all people should have the right to live, be free, and have the right to ownership. Natural law could be compared to the foundation of a building. Without it, every thing would collapse and there would be no order. The constitution is the foundation of America which is backed up and supported by natural law.

Beyond the basic cleaning lies a dental specialist.
Here are some common dental specialists and what they do:
• An endodontist is essentially a dental specialist for root canal procedures. They treat diseases and injuries of the dental pulp or
the tooth nerves. After dental school, they have 2 or more years of endodontics training. On average, endodontists perform nearly 25 root canal treatments
a week, while general dentists perform less than 2.
• Do you need oral surgery? Then you’ll be seeing an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. They treat patients for wisdom teeth removals, jaw
tumors and facial injuries. Oral surgeons are trained in a hospital-based residency program for a minimum of 4 years.
• If you have a bad bite, you’ll be referred to an orthodontist
. This specialist straightens teeth with the use of bands, wires, braces
and other corrective appliances.
• If you were referred to a periodontist, gum surgery may be in your future. They specialize in treating your gums and the supporting
Are you anxious your dentist will give you the dreaded referral slip at your next appointment? Don’t worry—your dental benefits work with specialists
Take these next steps after you’re referred to a dental specialist:
1. Research the specialist(s) you’re dentist referred.
2. Ensure s/he is a participating dentist in your insurance’s network.
3. Make your appointment!

Following the death of Akbar in 1605, Salim sat on the throne by the name of Nuruddin Jahangir. Unlike his father, he was indolent and self indulgent. He had a hand in the murder of Abul Fazal, a very close aid of Akbar. He sat on the throne at the age of 37 years and was able to control his bad habits under the influence of his beautiful and talented wife Nur Jahan.
Birth of Salim
Prince Salim was born to Akbar due to the blessing of the holy man Salim Chisti. Salim Chisti was one of the descendents of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti of Ajmer. Akbar named his son Salim with due respect to the holy saint.
Highlights of Jahangir’s rule are as following:
• Jahangir was instrumental in restoration of the Mohammaden faith and Hijra Chronology (on coins).
• However, he showed tolerance towards Hindus. He continued the matrimonial policy of his father to marry Rajput princesses.
The Justice Bell
He was believed to be a just king. He had attached a chain and bell to the gate of his palace in Agra to redress the grievance of the people.

Ah, the oft-misunderstood semi-colon.
It really only has three functions in modern punctuation.
1. Joining two independent clauses.* This implies the two clauses are related and/or equal, or perhaps one restates the other.
The boys and I are on our own this weekend; we'll eat too many hotdogs and watch cartoons.
2. Use semi-colons between items in a list that already involve commas.
I have lived in Clay Center, Kansas; Manhattan, Kansas; and Lawrence, Kansas.
3. Making that funny smiley thing I use too often.
Make peace with the semi-colon. Please. I hear the rapture is coming this weekend, and I wouldn't want semi-colon hate on my head.
*independent clause is a fancy way of saying "sentence". An independent clause is a string of words which can stand on its own.

A road is an identifiable route, way or path between two or more places. Roads are typically smoothed, paved, or otherwise prepared to allow easy travel; though they need not be, and historically many roads were simply recognizable routes without any formal construction or maintenance. In urban areas, roads may pass through a city or village and be named as streets, serving a dual function as urban space easement and route.*source wikipedia

General Information: Goji berries grow on an evergreen shrub found in temperate and subtropical regions in China, Mongolia and in the Himalayas in Tibet. They are in the nightshade (Solonaceae) family.
Goji berries have been used for 6,000 years by herbalists in China, Tibet and India to:
Goji berries are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. One of zeaxanthin's key roles is to protect the retina of the eye by absorbing blue light and acting as an antioxidant. In fact, increased intake of foods containing zeathanthin may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in people over the age of 65.

Texas has a storied history, filled with triumphs and tragedies. Towns all over Texas have grown up and blossomed into lively communities. But for every busy city and large metropolitan area, there are dozens of tiny towns that just didn’t make it. It is estimated that there are over 900 ghost towns peppered across the Lone Star State in varying stages of decay. Some were abandoned due to economic crisis, some due to the emergence of the interstates, and some just died along with their residents.
To be clear, not all of these towns are completely abandoned. Some may have a few hardy citizens who are determined never to leave, while others are as quiet as the grave. Here are some noteworthy Texas ghost towns worth exploring.
An oil boomtown gone bust, Eliasville was settled in the 1870’s, but really took off in the 1920’s with the oil boom of 1921. Everything comes to an end, however, and Eliasville’s population had dwindled down to about 100 by 1980.
Originally named Coyote, Gilliland was renamed after a district judge in 1907. Today Gilliland is little more than some disused buildings, rusting in the Texas heat.
Bluffton was submerged by the waters of Lake Buchanan after the construction of Buchanan Dam in 1937. The town reemerged when water levels dropped during the drought in 2009. Pecans, corn and cotton were the town’s cash crops before it was acquired by the Lower Colorado River Authority for the building of the reservoir that would eventually drown it. The town hadn’t been seen for over 75 years when it began to reappear.
Lobo was mostly abandoned in the 1960’s, and by 1991 it was a deserted ghost town. However, three people from Frankfurt, Germany bought the entire town in 2001 are currently trying to revive it.
Established in the 1880’s, Toyah is the oldest town in Reeves County. The town operated as a trading post for West Texas travelers and was located on a stagecoach line and had a station on the Union Pacific rail line. As the years passed, it faded into obscurity and was bypassed by the interstates for other cities. Eventually, its schools were consolidated with nearby Pecos, and according to the 2000 census, the town had a population of 100. A visitor to the town in 2008 reported to Texas Escapes that several fire trucks sit abandoned in the streets, and the town continues to decline.
Belcherville was established in 1886, but a devastating fire overtook much of the town in 1893, and many of the buildings were never rebuilt. As a testament to the resilience of Texans, however, the town remained populated until the early 1950’s, by which time there were fewer than 50 residents. The 2000 census recorded 34 residents. Belcherville now sits on private farmland, and the abandoned buildings have been fenced off.
Named for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Independence, Texas was once home to Baylor University and Republic of Texas President Sam Houston. Now Independence is a collection of well-preserved ruins and relics of Texas history.
Though Terlingua is technically a fading ghost town with very few residents, that hasn’t stopped it from becoming a tourist destination. In fact, you can even stay in the old Perry Mansion, because parts of it have been renovated as a hotel. Every November Terlingua explodes into activity for the annual chili cook-off, but for the rest of the year, it’s still pretty ghostly. Unfortunately, somebody recently destroyed one of the town’s historic ruins. The town is offering a reward for info about the persons who committed the crime. Terlingua remains a unique destination that you should add to your next road trip to West Texas.

Step 1: Dig a white cake mix out of your pantry! You could make one from scratch too if you're really adventurous!
Step 2: Whip up your cake mix!
Step 3: (This is where it gets tricky!) Divide your mix into 6 bowls. An easy tip is to pour 1 cup into each bowl and divide what's left from there. It worked for me... I'm sure it'll work for you too!
Step 4: Have your PreSchooler remind you what the colors of the rainbow are! Here's a cheat sheet... red, orange, yellow, green, blue & violet! And in case you're new to this type of stuff... red & yellow make orange, and red & blue make violet! You'll have to make these colors if you are using a basic set of food colors. Have your kiddos help... this is a great lesson in Color Exploration!
Step 5: If you haven't already, prepare your pans for baking. I used 2 rounds.
Step 6: In order to create a "rainbow look", place your red, orange and yellow batters into 1 pan. Then place your green, blue and violet batters into pan # 2.
Step 7: Bake according to the instructions on the box.
Step 8: After your cakes have cooled, remove from the pans. Decorate and ENJOY!!!
Check back later for pictures of the inside of the rainbow cake!

Unlike humans, harbor seals breathe out before diving, instead of breathing in.
Picture from Alaska Department of Fish and Game
They use oxygen already in their blood and muscles while under water, and their heartbeat slows from about 100 beats per minute to ten. In one breath a seal can exchange 90% of the air in its lungs. Humans can only change 20% of our air per breath.

The process for the electrolytic decomposition of aqueous hydrochloric acid by means of the diaphragm process was developed jointly by the former Hoechst AG and Bayer AG as well as thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers. This collaboration is now being continued between Covestro and thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers.
The process consists of hydrochloric acid recycles for anolyte and catholyte, an absorption unit, product treatment, and the electrolyzer. The cell elements consist of two graphite electrodes separated by either a PVC or PVC/PVDF diaphragm. The individual cell elements are assembled similar to a filter press type bipolar electrolyzer.
Hydrochloric acid is fed to the anode compartment; the chloride ions are oxidized at the anode while the hydrogen ions pass through the ion exchange membrane and migrate to the cathode chamber. The hydrochloric acid exits depleted from 23 to 17%. Hydrochloric acid is fed at the cathode. Chloride ions migrate to the anode chamber where chlorine builds up. At the cathode hydrogen is formed which leaves the cell. The hydrochloric acid exits depleted from 21 to 17%.
Chlorine gas is freed on the anode side and hydrogen on the cathode side. In order to improve gas discharge, the electrodes are provided with a large number of vertical slots. The individual electrodes are fitted into frames made of synthetic material resistant to hydrochloric acid and chlorine. The diaphragms are made of special PVC or PVC / PVDF cloth.

Diseases nicotine One of the substances in cigarettes are known to cause side effects or risks for harmful health is nicotine. The time that nicotine is in the smoker’s body system? Most nicotine consumed (or about 90 percent), rapidly metabolized by the liver and then excreted by the kidneys. The remaining amount of nicotine remains in the bloodstream for 6-8 hours after smoking. Most adult smokers, surely admit that the effects of cigarette addiction feel when they are under the age of 21 years.
The snuff is one of the nicotine source material has a long history. Nicotine (Nicotiana tabacum) was found and began to be cultivated in the United States in early 6000 BC, and since then people have been smoking or chewing the leaves of plants. Snuff consumption has been invited controversial even at the beginning of its use.
Only 10 seconds after a smoker inhales the cigarette smoke, nicotine is absorbed through the skin and mucous membrane of the nose, mouth and lungs, and moves through the bloodstream to the brain. It stimulates the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline, hormones and neurotransmitters such as adrenaline considered. This increases heart rate and blood pressure while constricting the blood vessels, also it stimulates the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that controls the brain center of happiness. Inhaling nicotine provide the fastest effect and not a coincidence because their lungs fill with millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli.
The alveoli have a very large surface area, more than 40 times the surface area of ?? their skin so that the lungs are the most effective in incorporating nicotine into the bloodstream mode. Nicotine simply stay in the body for several hours, about one or two hours, which means that six hours after smoking, only about 1 milligram 0031 milligrams of nicotine left.
Nicotine can also be absorbed through the digestive tract and skin. Here is how snuff smokeless products such as chewing snuff, which stick to the skin and give nicotine gum roads in the body. Once absorbed by the body, an enzyme in the liver breaks most of nicotine, 80 percent. Then he became metabolite cotinine. Nicotine is also metabolized to cotinine and nicotine oxide lungs. Cotinine and other metabolites excreted in the urine and also found in saliva and hair. Cotinine is the body about 16 hours, which means that if you have been smoking, metabolites can be used as a biomarker to prove that consumed in a urinalysis.
Why a smoker might want to smoke when they are in a state of unpleasant mood or in a stressful situation? This is because nicotine can make people feel calmer, causing a feeling of relaxation and stress reduction, anxiety and even pain.
Although it appears relaxation, nicotine actually increases the physical stress, the impact is considered slightly paradoxical. This relates to support the central nervous system, but depending on the dose, as found in some smokers nicotine also acts as a sedative. Some studies suggest that smoking may cause a calming effect, because nicotine is actually considered a stimulant, not a depressant.
The first time you inhale cigarette, nicotine causes the body to release the hormone epinephrine, a hormone nature of the fight or escape. Active adrenaline sympathetic nervous system, making your breathing becomes rapid and shallow increased heart rate and increased blood pressure.
Nicotine can also cause sensitivity to insulin and insulin resistance and an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It also affects the thyroid hormone, pituitary hormones, sex hormones and adrenal hormones. insulin resistance in smokers, for example, may be partly because nicotine stimulates the body to produce high levels of adrenal androgens, in other words, nicotine affects the body’s metabolism of glucose, causing hyperglycemia and hyperglycemia associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance not only increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but also heart disease.
The effects of nicotine in the brain
Exposure to nicotine can alter the performance and functions of your brain. Imagine your brain as a computer. As computers in general, the brain as a processor, storage and use of information. In a computer, the information is in the form of electrical signals moving through the cable, send the information in a binary process, with switches on or off. In the brain, neurons are the cells that transfer and integrate information. Each neuron receives information from thousands of other neurons throughout the brain, process information and make necessary adjustments before delivering the message to the rest of the body. While the signal is transmitted via individual neurons as an electric current, a group of chemical process called neurotransmitters which transmit such messages between neurons and other cells.
Nicotine also stimulates the release of other neurotransmitters, namely glutamate. Glutamate is involved in learning and memory, as well as improving relations between groups of neurons. strong connections can be a physical basis we call memory, and when used nicotine, glutamate may create a memory loop pleasant feelings you get and further drive the desire to consume nicotine.
Nicotine also increases levels of neurotransmitters and other chemicals that modulate the functioning of your brain. For example, the brain becomes more endorphins in response to nicotine. Endorphins are small proteins that are often referred to as a natural analgesic body. It turns out that very similar chemical structure to synthetic painkillers like morphine endorphins function.

"Orao (English = Eagle) was an 8-bit computer developed by PEL Varaždin in 1984. It was used as a standard primary school computer in Croatia from 1985 to 1991.
Orao (code named YU102) was designed by Miroslav Kocijan to supersede Galeb (code named YU101). The goal was to make a better computer, yet with less components, easier to produce and less expensive. Originally a Motorola 6809 microprocessor was planned but was abandoned for the MOS 6502 due to being significantly more expensive." (source : Wikipedia)
Orao was the computer of choice back in the eighties for educational
use in the Croatian elementary schools. When turned on it would start
the monitor, and you had to type a command to start the BASIC. There is no text mode. Characters are drawn in graphic mode in an 8x8 grid, allowing the system to display 32 characters x 32 lines.
Zoran Majcenic reports (source = www.homecomputer.de):
In 1985 in Croatia (then Yugoslavia), for purposes of education, a microcomputer called Orao (Eagle) was made for elementary schools. I believe that 2 per school were produced (so they are rare). It is a computer with 16 or 32 kb of memory, 6502 processor, internal speaker, 256x256 monochrome display, built-in BASIC and MONITOR programs. It can be connected using antenna or VIDEO connector. The PSU is integrated in its casing so you just directly plug it in power outlet.
Also, according to Karlo Siljeg (source = www.homecomputer.de):
"Orao" was made by a company called PEL Varazdin, Velebit was the distributor. Velebit also distributed a number of Apple II Compatible computers called "Impuls". Impuls was a Apple II compatible made by Ivel. Ivel was a company which made oil equipment. It manufactured microcontrollers and branched out in making Apple II compatibles. The company was based in the town of Ivanjic Grad. The Ivel micro was also distributed under the Ivel name as Ivel Ultra. The Ivel micro was one of the "standard" machines by the education board and they which were distributed in Croatia (then Yugoslavia) by the education department as Impuls. The company Velebit which imported Apple's into Croatia also distributed Ivels and Orao machines
Sinisa Kolaric adds:
"Orao" came bundled with a small black-and-white monochrome monitor. Also, the mentioned "MONITOR" program was actually a rudimentary assembler for 6502. It was a basic but architecturally clean machine, relatively powerful for that age. Something like C64 but without frills. A perfect introduction to the IBM PC which came a little bit later, along with the Amiga and Atari ST.
We need more info about this computer ! If you designed, used, or have more info about this system,
please send us pictures or anything you might find useful.

Lesson 1 (from Prologue and Chapter One: The Accident)
Fate and destiny. Although Don spends a great deal of time wondering why such a thing was allowed to happen to him, the reader may question what Don's life would have been like if the accident had never occurred.
The objective of this lesson is to look at fate and destiny.
1. Class discussion. Let's talk about fate. What does it mean? What is it? Can you think of an example of it in your own life? Do you believe in destiny? Does it affect the way you approach life? Is coincidence a another word for fate? Do you think it was fated that Don have the accident? Was it destiny that brought him back from death?
2. Homework: Have students write about destiny. Have them ask themselves if they ever were in a situation where they thought it was destiny that brought them there. Did they...

One hundred twenty five LEDs make up this 5x5x5 cube, controlled by an Arduino Leonardo. This LED Cube made up of columns and layers. Each of the twenty-five columns and the five layers are connected to the controller board with a separate wire and can be controlled individually.
Step 1: To Solder LEDs
You need a lot of time to solder 125 leds together. To get even-looking 5x5 led grids we will use a template to hold them in the same place.
A easy way to make this is using a foam board. You have to make a grid of 5x5 LEDs and put each one in the holes. Use one LED to punch an LED-sized hole through the foil for each hole.
Step 2: Test LEDs
Previously, you have to test individually each LED before you solder them together. You can make a simple circuit on protoboard and test the LEDs with an easy program of Arduino to blink all LEDs. Take all the time you need.
Step 3: Soldering LED Layers
You have to bend the cathodes and solder them together. Take care, it's possible you have some mistakes, but quickly you'll learn from them. Insert LEDs into the row until you complete all of them.
Step 4: Soldering Layers Together
Now you'll need to solder all of the layers together. I think you should put your best layer in the template. This one will be the top of you cube led. Now, you can start to solder the next layer. Step by step, take care. It's might not be easy, so you will need to take all the time necessary.
Step 5: Cube's Circuit
I show this one in the image below:
Step 6: Wire the Board
Now we're going to wire up the cube. We have to fit the cube on the board and solder the Cube LEDs on it.
Next step: we have to connect a ground for each layer. We'll make wire hook connections to each layer. Now, cathodes have been connect to a ground and then we need to connect anodes to the Arduino Leonardo (You can see connections in the images below)
Step 7: Code and Programming
We have just our LED cube finished! If we want that it works, we need to program it.
We have made the code in Arduino. A simple program you can download in the link below:
We have a be nice policy.
Please be positive and constructive.

On February 20, 1962. John Glenn Jr. became the first American to orbit the Earth and set the stage for all of NASA's future human spaceflight programs to orbit; culminating in the landing on the Moon. Experiences that are taken for granted today were at the time revelations to NASA; capturing his initial thoughts and observations was deemed critical. While onboard the rescue ship Noa and over the next two days on Grand Turk, Glenn recorded his thoughts on a tape recorder and answered questions during a NASA debriefing. Beginning with a narrative account of the flight and covering a chronological review of the flight from pre-launch entering the capsule through recovery, Glenn relates his experiences during his three-orbit flight as well as his training and the design of his pressure suit and capsule. These ultimately would be used to aid in the writing of the official NASA post-launch report. Inside is his story, told to us in his own words. Includes a number of rare photos including from the USS Noa.
