FAIR HOUSING STATEMENT
Federal and state fair housing laws were put into effect to create an even playing field for homebuyers in all areas of a real estate transaction. These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national origin.
Civil Rights Act of 1866
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property.
Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act of 1968 makes fair housing a national policy. It prohibits discrimination in the sale, lease or rental of housing, or making housing otherwise unavailable because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in commercial facilities and places of public accommodation.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against anyone on a credit application due to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age or because all or part of an applicant's income comes from any public assistance program.
The home seller, the home seeker, and the real estate professional all have rights and responsibilities under the law.
For the Home Seller
You should know that as a home seller or landlord you are obligated not to discriminate in the sale, rental and financing of property on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. You may not instruct the licensed broker or salesperson acting as your agent to convey for you any limitations in the sale or rental, because the real estate professional is also obligated not to discriminate. Under the law, a home seller or landlord cannot establish discriminatory terms or conditions in the purchase or rental; deny that housing is available or advertise that the property is available only to persons of a certain race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.
For the Home Seeker
You have the right to expect that housing will be available to you without discrimination or other limitations based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.
This includes the right to expect:

One of the fastest, easiest, and most powerful ways to organize content is to use tags. Tags are short, descriptive words or phrases that classify and organize wiki pages, blog posts, or mailing list entries.
There are two types of tags: content tags and meta-information tags.
Content tags describe what a page is about. For example, if you have a department wiki where everyone has a page describing himself or herself, those pages should be tagged with "bio." If you do a tag-based search for "bio," you'd find all bio pages for everyone in the department. Similarly, if you had a project named "ProjectX," you could tag all pages about ProjectX with the "ProjectX" tag.
Meta-information tags describe the page itself. For example, you could mark all important pages with "hot" and all pages that require review with "review." This way you can quickly find pages that are important or require review.
There are advantages to using tags:
Searching text can produce results that happen to mention what you're searching for but aren't necessarily about what you're looking for. With tags, you'd tag only pages for a specific subject.
You can combine tags to find exactly what you're looking for. For example if you're working on ProjectX and need to know everything important about it, you can do a search for the "ProjectX" and "hot" tags. Similarly, to find out everything in ProjectX that needed review, you'd search for the "ProjectX" and "review" tags. To find everything that's related to ProjectX, is important, and needs review, then you'd search for all three tags.
You can turn a tag-based search into a very effective Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed. When you subscribe to an RSS feed through an RSS browser such as Mail, you're notified when a page in that feed is updated. If you subscribe to an RSS feed of the "ProjectX" tag, you're notified when a page related to ProjectX is created or changed. | <urn:uuid:f25aead7-b1ea-438a-a90d-dc316aaee552> | 454 | 0 |
The Ludlow Massacre
Today is the 103rd anniversary of the Ludlow Massacre. On April 20, 1914, private security guards and Colorado National Guard troops attacked a tent city occupied by 1,200 striking miners. Twenty-six men, women, and children, were killed.
My family has a personal interest in the massacre. My wife’s great-great grandfather was one of the union organizers, and was present for the massacre. He and his family survived, but the family memory is still strong.
Giuseppe DiGiovanni was born in Italy and emigrated to the U.S. He moved to Colorado, where he worked as a coal miner. According to one source, “In 1912, the death rate in Colorado’s mines was 7.055 per 1,000 employees, compared to a national rate of 3.15.” They were also forced to live in “company towns,”in which all stores were controlled by the mining company– the background to the song “Sixteen Tons.” Appalled by the conditions the miners had to endure, Giuseppe became an organizer for the United Mine Workers of America. Banned for his organizing activities, he changed his name twice in order to get work, first to Joe White, and then to Joseph DiJohn.
The union presented demands to the three major coal companies, which included safety protocols, limits on hours worked, and pay for non-producing activities like laying track and setting braces. Miners at the time were paid only by the ton produced. In September, 1913, the companies rejected these demands, and the miners went on strike.
The companies responded by hiring a private security firm to bring in strike breakers. These were supported by the Colorado National Guard, which was also strongly pro-company. Their union-busting activities included “unofficial martial law includ[ing] the suspension of habeas corpus, mass jailings of strikers in ‘bullpens,’ a cavalry charge on a demonstration of miners’ wives and children, the torture and beating of prisoners, and the demolition of a striker tent colony at Forbes.” However, the state was nearly bankrupt, and most of the National Guard units were disbanded.

The Ludlow Massacre
Today is the 103rd anniversary of the Ludlow [...] 20, 1914, the day after the camp celebrated Orthodox Easter, private security and the remaining National Guard troops surrounded the damp at Ludlow. The miners, as shown in the photos, had some bolt-action rifles. Their opponents had machine guns, including at least one Browning M1895. One of their more frightening weapons was an armored car with a machine gun mounted in the back, which the miners called the “Death Special.”
The attack began about 9:00 am and went on for ten hours. The miners and their families were trapped, until dusk when a passing freight train blocked the attack from one side and allowed them to escape. By 7:00 pm, the camp was razed and burning. The camp leader, Louis Tikas, was captured and executed.
News of the massacre spread quickly, and resulted in the Ten Day War, in which miners all over Colorado attacked mine sites and destroyed mining equipment. This continued until President Woodrow Wilson sent in federal troops, which disarmed both sides.
In the aftermath, over 400 miners were arrested, and over 300 charged with murder. Only one was convicted, strike leader John Lawson, and his conviction was later overturned by the State Supreme Court. Of the National Guard troops, ten were charged but only one was convicted– the man who executed Louis Tikas– though he only received a slap on the wrist. None of the security guards were ever charged.
The UMWA failed to gain recognition, but John D. Rockefeller did implement reforms and allowed the miners to form a “company union.” The clash represents one of the deadliest conflicts in American labor relations, and in the aftermath, Congress imposed new labor laws, including restrictions on child labor.
While I have issues with the role of unions in our post-modern economy, I remain very much aware of the work they have done and the lives they have lost to change working conditions across the country. The Ludlow Massacre was a tragedy, but it also was a turning point. These brave miners, most of the immigrants, gave their lives to ensure that American workers would have a better future. | <urn:uuid:ad6691f7-957b-4492-ad40-21ef27714e2f> | 500 | 23 |
Jaguar Land Rover has just announced its plans to accelerate its development of semi-autonomous cars. A fleet of more than 100 research vehicles will be created over the next four years to develop its “autonomous and connected technology.”
However, these vehicles won’t be fully autonomous, and will instead focus on more basic features. JLR is developing four key skills for its cars. These include the ability to recognize potential obstacles using a forward-facing camera; brake automatically before a potential collision; communicate car-to-car to share information; and recognize when emergency service vehicles are approaching. These are certainly useful features, but they’re a far cry from the advances in self-driving tech made by companies like Google.
Land Rover’s lead engineer for the project, Matt Reed, explains how the connected vehicles communicate via Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) boxes installed in each SUV to successfully off-road.
“Currently, what we’ve got is two DSRC boxes from a company called Cohda Wireless and they use their software put into the car by their vehicle CAN Bus [network],” Reed explained. “The CAN Bus is a vehicle-level network, which all current OEMs [Original Equipment Manufacturers] have, which contains lots of the driving data. You’ll have everything from ignition the car is in to things like the vehicle speed, the direction of travel, the GPS location, all of that information, which is used by the vehicle’s internal module to do everything from cruise control to turning your lights on and off.”
“These boxes are connected to that network and we fix the signals that we want to look at, such as vehicle articulation, vehicle speeds and location, and then using that network, we pick off the information, which could be transmitted to a second car,” he continued. “The transmission is through those boxes and it’s using a 5.9 GHz DSRC.”
The research will take place on a 41-mile test route in the Midlands near the company’s headquarters, but could eventually move onto public roads. Earlier this year, the UK government said it wants driverless cars to be able to be insured like normal vehicles by 2020, essentially clearing them for use on regular roads. | <urn:uuid:571c2e79-7dca-4b5c-9038-39b38de63443> | 491 | 0 |

Section 106 requires federally assisted projects to take into account their effects on historic properties included in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. So in 2012, ITD performed a pedestrian survey of the project area.
An initial cultural resources investigation identified a pre-contact (short term occupation) lithic (debitage) scatter site in the project’s area of potential effect (APE)). Debitage is the collective term used by archaeologists to refer to the sharp-edged waste material left over when someone creates a stone tool (knaps flint). Some of the waste flakes may be used as tools themselves, as expedient scrapers for example, but by and large the word debitage refers to those pieces which have not been utilized.
Testing the vertical and horizontal extent, content, and integrity of the site within the APE was recommended and SWCA was contracted to complete the evaluation as a result of consultation between the ITD and the Nez Perce Tribe.
Twenty-one shovel probes and three test units were excavated in and around the site along the road. Cultural materials were discovered between 0 and 138 centimeters (or 54.3 inches) below the surface in three of the 21 probes and in the test units. After careful examination of the artifacts found archeologists believe the site was used repeatedly for short periods of time, most likely as one of the Nezperce camps where activities focused on the hunting and processing of animal resources.
The site was recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Accordingly, Clearwater County will take whatever measures necessary to avoid any adverse effects to the site.
The people who lived on the property in question were in no way surprised to learn of the research to be carried out in their neck of the woods. Violet Bruce and her husband, moved to the area in 1949 and purchased the property which is adjacent to Orofino Creek Bridge to make there home, which is where the archeological tests were performed.
Neighboring residents who were more familiar with the area informed them that the Nez Perce were known to have frequently camped in the vicinity of their property. Various arrowheads and pieces of other elements resembling cultural artifacts surfaced as the Bruces settled in and established their garden and orch | <urn:uuid:5f57fdc6-a4a1-448a-bc65-69c288ac4517> | 512 | 0 |
The SAR and the interferometry
With the term synthetic SAR or aperture radar it is defined a radar antenna mounted on a mobile platform. The operating principle of a SAR system is the same for all radar systems (Radio Detection And Ranging). A transmitter (antenna) radiates the surrounding space with an electromagnetic wave which affects the objects that meets undergoing a phenomenon of reflection. A part of the wave back to the antenna where it is measured. In this way the radar is able to detect objects (detection) and by measuring the delay between the moment of transmission and the receipt, it is possible to measure the distance (slant-range) of these objects from the antenna (Fig. 1.). This measure is however only in the direction of illumination of the antenna, so, it is not possible to distinguish two objects placed at the same distance from the antenna.
Fig.1: SAR resolution cell
More specifically, every radar antenna is characterized by a directivity value, which characterizes the width of the illuminating beam in the surrounding space, as bigger is the antenna, as narrower is its beam and therefore its footprint and consequently, the target is localized better, however this reduces the extension of the illuminated area.
In this way the width of a beam antenna determines the resolution in azimuth of a radar image, but to have a resolution of the order of the meter would be necessary to use an antenna of kilometric sizes, which is clearly unrealizable.
The underlying idea of the SAR allows us to avoid this limitation, reaching a compromise between resolution and extending of the observed area. With The term synthetic aperture and radar, we refer to a technique used to “synthesize” an antenna of kilometric size, combining the radar echoes received by a real antenna to different positions (Fig. 2). Particularly in a SAR system every time a radar antenna emits a pulse, because the motion of the platform on which is mounted, receives back its echo in a different location. In this way, the echoes collected at different positions can be understood as being derived from different portions of a single “synthetic” antenna of large dimension (Fig. 3.).

Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technological Applications for Site-specific Management of Fruit and Nut Crops: A Review
AbstractSite-specific crop management (SSCM) is one facet of precision agriculture which is helping increase production with minimal input. It has enhanced the cost-benefit scenario in crop production. Even though the SSCM is very widely used in row crop agriculture like corn, wheat, rice, soybean, etc. it has very little application in cash crops like fruit and nut. The main goal of this review paper was to conduct a comprehensive review of advanced technologies, including geospatial technologies, used in site-specific management of fruit and nut crops. The review explores various remote sensing data from different platforms like satellite, LIDAR, aerial, and field imaging. The study analyzes the use of satellite sensors, such as Quickbird, Landsat, SPOT, and IRS imagery as well as hyperspectral narrow-band remote sensing data in study of fruit and nut crops in blueberry, citrus, peach, apple, etc. The study also explores other geospatial technologies such as GPS, GIS spatial modeling, advanced image processing techniques, and information technology for suitability study, orchard delineation, and classification accuracy assessment. The study also provides an example of a geospatial model developed in ArcGIS ModelBuilder to automate the blueberry production suitability analysis. The GIS spatial model is developed using various crop characteristics such as chilling hours, soil permeability, drainage, and pH, and land cover to determine the best sites for growing blueberry in Georgia, U.S. The study also provides a list of spectral reflectance curves developed for some fruit and nut crops, blueberry, crowberry, redblush citrus, orange, prickly pear, and peach. The study also explains these curves in detail to help researchers choose the image platform, sensor, and spectrum wavelength for various fruit and nut crops SSCM. View Full-Text

With the ever-changing trends in foods, it is sometimes hard to keep up with the latest lingo and new products. Recently, a huge focus has shifted to the incorporation of “superfoods” into every diet, but many are confused by the term and what it takes for something to be considered part of this group. Remaining knowledgeable in regards to which foods truly provide the right nutrients for our bodies to continue on a healthy path is crucial, especially when age becomes a factor.
What Are They?
According to Health.com, there is no medical or legal definition for a superfood. Nutritionists consider foods of this group to be powerhouses, loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. There are countless foods out there that contain all of these elements, but health professionals are encouraging people to utilize the ones with the highest levels of each. A lotl of food items have been labeled as a “superfood” and it is important to recognize why they have earned the title. Here are a few fan-favorites from each food group and the reason they are so “super”;
- Blueberries: filled with fiber, vitamin C, and cancer-fighting compounds
- Salmon: contains omega-3 fatty acids, which the body cannot produce by itself (prevents heart disease)
- Broccoli: high levels of vitamin C and folate (helps reduce risk of certain cancers)
- Oats: full of fiber, magnesium, and potassium, helping to boost metabolism (and in certain forms tastes delicious!)
Benefits of Eating Them
Experts say that eating superfoods on a regular basis can significantly improve health in more way than one. Of course, ultimately healthier bodies are an advantage to eating superfoods, but they have also been proven to prevent chronic illnesses. By consuming these foods, people are additionally prolonging their lives and giving themselves one consisting of good health. Certain superfoods mentioned above have actually helped in lowering blood pressure and other pre-existing medical conditions. The examples above just begin to scratch the surface of the benefits that come from superfoods, and by consuming at least one superfood on a daily basis (alongside an overall healthy diet), quality of life is destined for improvement.

3D printing is now proving extremely useful in the field of forensic facial reconstruction, a method of identifying skeletal remains. The process consists of recreating the face of a person with only the skull as a reference. An artist schooled in anatomy, anthropology, osteology (the study of the function and structure of the skeleton), and forensic science gradually builds up the face from the surface of the skull, adding clay like layers of tissue — muscles, cartilage, tendons, and so on until the skin and facial features are in a sense restored.
This practice is used in situations where human remains are found in order to attempt to identify the person and to determine whether a crime has been committed. It is also used by anthropologists and archaeologists when remains of ancient humans and homonids are discovered.
A major problem with the current practice of forensic facial reconstruction is that the skull must be used and can, in the process, potentially be damaged. Even though the layers of clay are removed after the reconstruction has been completed and the finished work photographed, it isn’t an ideal scenario. 3D modeling and printing provides an excellent alternative to using the skull and one Tampa, Florida company, Engineering and Manufacturing Services, Inc. (EMS), has developed a system of forensic facial reconstruction that eliminates the need to use the skull.
EMS assisted the Hillsborough County (Florida) Coroner’s Office in the identification of a person whose remains had been discovered. They used a Z Scanner Z800 (manufactured by Z Corp) to create a 3D scan of the skull. The scan was given to SensAble Technologies (now part of Geomagic), which has a feature called “Clay Tools,” that enables technicians to imitate the real-life building up of clay on the surface of the skull that happens with traditional forensic facial reconstruction. The program has a feature that creates virtual tissue depth markers, allowing the 3D artist to reconstruct features on the scanned skull layer by layer.
Once the reconstruction process if completed, EMS produced a full color 3D print of the artist’s rendering using a Z650 3D printer, also made by Z Corp. The printer allows for a lifesize replica to be produced, a model that can be retained | <urn:uuid:65e1502e-56a1-47e5-994b-4591113f4667> | 512 | 0 |
Canadian Eskimo Dog
The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog, which is often considered to be one of North America's oldest and rarest remaining purebred indigenous domestic canines. Other names include qimmiq or qimmit (Inuit language word for "dog"). They were brought from Siberia to North America by the Thule people 1,000 years ago, along with the Greenland Dog that is genetically identical.
The UKC does not have an official breed standard|
Territorial animal of Nunavut
|Domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris)|
The breed is currently threatened with extinction, with a 2008 estimate of only 300 purebred dogs. Although once used as the preferred method of transportation by Inuit in the Canadian Arctic, by the 1960s traditional working dog teams became increasingly rare in the North. Contributing factors to the breed's decline include the increasing popularity of snowmobiles for transportation and the spread of infectious canine diseases. Controversy surrounds the intentional destruction of a debated number of Inuit sled dogs between 1950 and 1970 by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police as well as recent efforts to increase the breed's population.
The first dogs arrived in the Americas 12,000 years ago. However, people and their dogs did not settle in the Arctic until the arrival of two groups from Siberia, the Paleo-Eskimo people 4,500 years ago and the Thule people 1,000 years ago. The Inuit dogs from Canada (Canadian Eskimo Dog) and Greenland (Greenland Dog) descended from dogs associated with the Thule people, who relied on them for transportation from Siberia.
In 2015, a study using a number of genetic markers indicated that these were both the same dog and should not be treated as separate breeds, that they maintain an indigenous heritage that predates colonization and the timing of which corresponds with the arrival of the Thule people, and that they were distinct from Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Huskies and Malamutes. The maternal mitochondrial DNA sequences of the Inuit dogs were classified as | <urn:uuid:fb91e738-062f-4ba1-9a88-ddf6e8476553> | 512 | 0 |
Canadian Eskimo Dog
The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog [...] haplotype A31 that indicates a common female ancestor. This haplotype could not be found in other modern dogs; the nearest match was with a 1,000 year–old dog from Florida.
The Canadian Eskimo Dog should always be powerfully built, athletic, and imposing in appearance. It should be of "powerful physique giving the impression that he is not built for speed but rather for hard work." As is typical of spitz breeds, it has erect, triangular ears, and a heavily feathered tail that is carried over its back. Males should be distinctly more masculine than females, who are finer boned, smaller, and often have a slightly shorter coat.
Its superficial similarity to wolves was often noted by explorers during the Coppermine Expedition of 1819–1822. They noted that the ears of the Eskimo dogs they encountered were similar to those of American wolves, and their forelegs lacked the black mark above the wrist characteristic of European wolves. The most sure way to distinguish the two species was said to be through the length and posture of the tail, which was shorter and more curved in the dog.
Coat and colourEdit
The coat is very thick and dense, with a soft undercoat and stiff, coarse guard hairs. The Eskimo Dog has a mane of thick fur around its neck, which is quite impressive in the males and adds an illusion of additional size. This mane is smaller in females. Eskimo Dogs can be almost any colour, and no one colour or colour pattern should dominate. Solid white dogs are often seen, as well as white dogs with patches of another colour on the head or both body and head. Solid silver or black coloured dogs are common as well. Many of the solid coloured dogs have white mask-like markings on the face, sometimes with spots over the eyes. Others might have white socks and nose stripes with no eye spots or mask.
The size of Canadian Eskimo dogs depends on their sex. Males weigh 30–40 kg (66–88 lb) and stand 58–70 cm (23–28 | <urn:uuid:fb91e738-062f-4ba1-9a88-ddf6e8476553> | 512 | 23 |
Canadian Eskimo Dog
The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog [...] in) at the shoulder. Females weigh 18–30 kg (40–66 lb) and stand 50–60 cm (20–24 in).
The Canadian Eskimo Dog's temperament reflects its original work and environment. It is loyal, tough, brave, intelligent, and alert. It is affectionate and gentle, and develops a deep bond with its owner and is intensely loyal. When used as sled dogs, they were often required to forage and hunt for their own food. Consequently, many Canadian Eskimo Dogs have stronger prey drive than some other breeds. Owing to their original environment, they take pure delight in cold weather, often preferring to sleep outside in winter. Like most spitz breeds they can be very vocal.
Care and trainingEdit
Canadian Eskimo Dogs need a very large amount of exercise. They cannot just be walked, they need higher intensity work, requiring more exercise than many dog owners can give. This need for work and stimulation makes them well-suited for dog sports, such as carting, mushing, and skijoring. They are very trainable and submissive, unlike many spitz breeds, as well as intelligent. The Canadian Eskimo Dog is best kept in a cold climate, and is prone to heatstroke. Its coat is fairly easy to care for most times of the year, needing brushing only one or two times a week. However, when it sheds (which happens once a year) it will need grooming every day.
Historically, Inuit would put their dogs to the harness as soon as they could walk, and would acquire the habit of pulling sledges in their attempts to break free. At the age of two months, the pups would be placed with adult dogs. Sometimes, ten pups would be put under the lead of an older animal, coupled with frequent beatings from their masters, which would educate the pups.
Inuit never considered the dog as part of the animal kingdom (uumajuit), but merely as a tool for human existence. It was, and still is (to a very limited extent), used by the Canadian Inuit as multi-purpose dogs, often put to work hunting seals and other Arctic | <urn:uuid:fb91e738-062f-4ba1-9a88-ddf6e8476553> | 512 | 23 |
Canadian Eskimo Dog
The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog [...] game, and hauling supplies and people. Explorers noted that the dogs were capable of tracking a seal hole from a great distance, and were occasionally used to hunt polar bears. The dogs were reported to be so enthusiastic in hunting bears that, sometimes, their handlers shouted "nanuq" (Inuktitut name for the bear) to encourage them when pulling sledges.
The dogs however would not pursue wolves, and would howl fearfully at their approach. Frozen dog urine was used by Inuit as a medicine, and their fur was more prized than that of wolves, due to its greater resistance to wear. In times of famine, the dogs would be used as an emergency food source. Though once assumed to be a tamed wolf or wolf-dog hybrid by explorers, including Charles Darwin due to similarities in appearance and vocalisations, genetic testing has shown that the Eskimo dog has no recent wolf ancestry.
The breed is currently threatened with extinction. In the 19th century and early 20th century, this breed was still in demand for polar expeditions, and approximately 20,000 dogs lived in the Canadian Arctic in the 1920s. However, the breed had declined significantly by the 1960s. The breed had once been accepted for showing by both the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), however in 1959 the AKC dropped the breed from its registry because of extremely low numbers. The Canadian Eskimo Dog and Greenland Greenland Dog are sometimes considered the same breed by authorities, although the Greenland Dog can be criticized for lacking any proper breeding program, questioning its validity as a pure breed.
Since the 1970s, the Eskimo Dog Research Foundation (EDRF) and Brian Ladoon have worked to increase the breed's numbers. The EDRF was founded in 1972 by William Carpenter and John McGrath and was largely funded by the Canadian Government and the Northwest Territories Government, with some support from the CKC. The EDRF purchased dogs from the small (about 200 dogs) population remaining in the Canadian Arctic from remote In | <urn:uuid:fb91e738-062f-4ba1-9a88-ddf6e8476553> | 512 | 23 |
Canadian Eskimo Dog
The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog [...] uit camps on Baffin Island, Boothia Peninsula, and Melville Peninsula. The EDRF then began breeding dogs in order to increase numbers.
Brian Ladoon also bought dogs in the 1970s from the northern communities of Canada and started breeding after being given the mission of saving them by Bishop Omer Alfred Robidoux of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Churchill-Baie d'Hudson. He switched from Malamutes and Huskies to the CED, and after breeding for 30 years still has the largest genetic stock colony of Canadian Eskimo Dogs in the world. The modern breed originated from a relatively high number of founders, thus ensuring sufficient genetic variability to avoid inbreeding.
The Canadian Eskimo Dog is currently used in sled dog teams that entertain tourists and for commercial polar bear hunting. By law, polar bear hunting in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut must be conducted by dog team. The requirement is partly for safety reasons; the working dog can better sense when a polar bear is around, whereas the sound of a snowmobile motor masks any sign of a polar bear. On May 1, 2000, the Canadian territory of Nunavut officially adopted the "Canadian Inuit Dog" as the animal symbol of the territory, thus sealing the name of their traditional dog (qimmiq) in the Inuktitut language.
RCMP dog killingsEdit
Between 1950 and 1970, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police intentionally killed Inuit sled dogs. Estimates of the number of dogs killed range from 1,200 to 20,000. In some communities elders have alleged that this destruction was conducted in order to intimidate the Inuit and to intentionally disrupt their way of life. In response to these allegations, in 2005 the RCMP conducted an internal investigation on the killings. Its report concluded that dogs were indeed killed, but for public health purposes - to remove sick, dangerous, and suffering animals. However, the report also acknowledged that the RCMP rarely followed ordinances that required dogs to first be captured and owners to be notified before killings, that owners had | <urn:uuid:fb91e738-062f-4ba1-9a88-ddf6e8476553> | 512 | 23 |

VLADNIC, Romania (AP) – Their origins are a mystery. The most widely accepted theory is that the Csango people of Romania’s remote eastern Carpathian mountains began settling around the 13th Century, dispatched by Hungarian rulers to defend the kingdom’s easternmost frontier.
Of Roman Catholic faith and speaking a medieval Hungarian dialect, they still live in relative isolation, harvesting vegetables and nuts, some of which they exchange for oil, rice and other necessities brought in by village-to-village Romanian salesmen.
The Csangos fear that their culture and language are eroding. Since Romania joined the European Union in 2007, an entire generation of adults has been lured away by the prospect of jobs in countries like Italy and Spain.
In some homes, grandparents are looking after as many as 14 grandchildren.
A group of doctors from a Hungarian Catholic charity recently visited Vladnic and the nearby Csango villages of Ciucan and Tuta to give eye and dental tests.
For 14-year-old Tuta resident Annamaria Laura Lupo, the eye exam was long overdue. She said she’s been having headaches and it was affecting her studies at school. Now, she and her mother are awaiting glasses that will be sent from Budapest.
Dentist Renata Jaky said there was a near total lack of oral hygiene. “When I ask the kids how many times they brush their teeth, the most usual answer is ‘never,'” she said.
Children are key to the villages’ survival and many start work before sunrise.
“I get up at five in the morning and start the day by milking the goat and taking the animals out to pasture. Only after that do I go to school,” said Gyorgy Radavoi, a 14-year-old boy. “My mother died and my father works abroad all year. I’m happy when my granddad isn’t drunk, we have food to eat and it’s warm at home.”

Equally tests might help Medical professionals diagnose what’s Erroneous along with you. They might also assist rule out conditions which you don’t have. EMG and NCS are valuable in diagnosing:
Electromyography (EMG) actions muscle mass response or electrical exercise in response to some nerve’s stimulation of one's muscle. The test is used to assist detect nerve and muscle mass problems. During the take a look at, your health care provider will insert a number of smaller needles (also referred to as electrodes) by means of your skin into your muscle mass. The electrical activity picked up via the electrodes is then displayed with a observe in the shape of waves. An audio-amplifier is used Hence the action may be heard. EMG actions the electrical activity of one's muscle all through rest, slight contraction, and forceful contraction. Muscle tissue won't Commonly make electrical indicators through rest. When an electrode is inserted, a short duration of activity is often observed, but after that, no sign needs to be present.
Femoral nerve dysfunction (loss of motion or sensation in parts of the legs due to harm to the femoral nerve)
A doctor will often buy an EMG when someone is displaying symptoms of a muscle or nerve problem. These indications may well consist of tingling, numbness, or unexplained weak point from the limbs.
Neither NCS or EMG will clear up your muscle mass or nerve difficulties, but they may give Health professionals essential specifics of how to assist you commence experience greater quickly.
Once the exam, the electrodes is going to be taken off. You may well be specified pain medicine and heat compresses could be applied to the impacted space straight away following the exam. Some muscle soreness may perhaps persist for each day or so once the take a look at.
Five or even more needle insertions may be needed for the check. You might encounter slight ache Together with the insertion in the electrode, nonetheless it is generally pain-free.
A certificate of attendance might be delivered to other well being care professionals for requesting credits in accordance with condition nursing boards, specialty societies, or other Qualified associations.

A nerve conduction research, Yet another part of an EMG, works by using electrodes taped to the pores and skin (surface area electrodes) to measure the velocity and strength of alerts touring between two or more points.
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic technique that evaluates the wellbeing situation of muscles as well as nerve cells that Manage them.
EMG indicators are occasionally accustomed to tutorial botulinum toxin or phenol injections into muscles. EMG indicators can also be made use of being a Handle sign for prosthetic units for example prosthetic hands, arms, and decreased limbs.
The EMG is often performed suitable following a nerve conduction velocity analyze (a take a look at that actions the move of existing through a nerve right before it reaches the muscle mass as an alternative to the response of muscle itself). Commonly, an EMG examination follows this method:

A 2012 systematic review concluded that no precise assessment of possibility-profit exists for cervical manipulation.[fourteen] A 2010 systematic evaluation stated that there is no great evidence to suppose that neck manipulation is a highly effective cure for virtually any health-related problem and advised a precautionary basic principle in Health care for chiropractic intervention even though a causality with vertebral artery dissection right after neck manipulation were just a remote risk.
Straight chiropractors adhere on the philosophical ideas set forth by D.D. and B.J. Palmer, and retain metaphysical definitions and vitalistic traits. Straight chiropractors feel that vertebral subluxation leads to interference with the "innate intelligence" exerted by using the human anxious procedure and it is a primary fundamental chance aspect for many diseases.

In lots of circumstances, for instance lessen again pain, chiropractic treatment may be a affected person's Key means of procedure. When other medical problems exist, chiropractic solutions could complement or help professional medical treatment method by relieving the musculoskeletal elements linked to the ailment. Like their MD colleagues, Medical professionals of chiropractic are subject into the boundaries founded in state follow functions and they are regulated by state licensing boards. Further more, their schooling in 4-year doctoral graduate college packages is nationally accredited by means of an company that operates beneath the auspices of your U.S. Department of Education and learning. Following graduation, they need to move nationwide board exams before obtaining a license to apply, and then ought to preserve their license on a yearly basis by earning continuing education (CE) credits through state-accepted CE courses. What exactly is Spinal Manipulation?
The entire world Well being Firm found chiropractic treatment in general is Risk-free when utilized skillfully and properly.[forty five] There may be not adequate info to ascertain the security of chiropractic manipulations. Manipulation is thought to be comparatively Harmless but difficulties can crop up, and it's recognised adverse results, risks and contraindications.[forty five] Complete contraindications to spinal manipulative therapy are disorders that really should not be manipulated; these contraindications incorporate rheumatoid arthritis and situations known to result in unstable joints.

A 2011 systematic critique discovered that thoracic SM may possibly give small-expression enhancement for your treatment method of acute or subacute mechanical neck ache; although the body of literature is still weak. A 2010 Cochrane review identified low high quality evidence that suggests cervical manipulation may perhaps give better shorter-expression suffering aid than the usual Manage for neck agony, and reasonable evidence that cervical manipulation and mobilization created very similar results on pain, operate and affected individual fulfillment. A 2010 systematic critique identified reduced degree evidence that implies chiropractic treatment increases cervical variety of movement and ache inside the management of whiplash.
In 2005, in endeavours to enhance regularity and equivalency in chiropractic coaching, the WHO revealed essential education and security guidelines to provide Intercontinental minimum necessities for chiropractic education and learning also to function a reference for countrywide authorities in establishing an examination and licensing program for the capable apply of chiropractic.[two]
Palmer hypothesized that vertebral joint misalignments, which he termed vertebral subluxations, interfered with the human body's function and its inborn capability to heal itself.[five] D. D. Palmer repudiated his previously theory that vertebral subluxations induced pinched nerves within the intervertebral spaces in favor of subluxations causing altered nerve vibration, either too tense or much too slack, affecting the tone (well being) of the top organ.

Within the chiropractic Group there are substantial disagreements about vaccination, Just about the most Value-effective public health interventions readily available. Most chiropractic writings on vaccination center on its damaging areas, declaring that it's hazardous, ineffective, and unneeded. Some chiropractors have embraced vaccination, but a significant portion from the job rejects it, as first chiropractic philosophy traces health conditions to results in from the spine and states that vaccines interfere with healing.
Specifications vary between countries. While in the U.S. chiropractors receive a first Expert diploma in the sector of chiropractic. Chiropractic education within the U.S. have already been criticized for failing to fulfill generally recognized expectations of proof-dependent drugs. The curriculum information of North American chiropractic and health-related colleges with regards to standard and clinical sciences continues to be more comparable than not, both of those inside the forms of subjects made available As well as in enough time assigned to every subject. Accredited chiropractic packages while in the U.S. require that applicants have ninety semester several hours of undergraduate instruction using a quality stage average of not less than 3.0 over a 4.0 scale. Many systems call for at the least three yrs of undergraduate instruction, and a lot more are requiring a bachelor's degree.
Quite a few managed clinical research of therapies used by chiropractors are already performed, with conflicting effects. Systematic opinions of the investigation have not observed proof that chiropractic manipulation is helpful, Using the possible exception of therapy for back again discomfort.

Early chiropractors believed that all ailment was because of interruptions during the flow of innate intelligence, a vitalistic anxious energy or lifestyle force that represented God's presence in person; chiropractic leaders often invoked spiritual imagery and moral traditions. D.D. Palmer said he "received chiropractic from the opposite earth". D.D. and B.J. both of those very seriously considered declaring chiropractic a faith, which could have supplied authorized safety under the U.
A 2012 systematic assessment concluded that no precise assessment of chance-gain exists for cervical manipulation.[fourteen] A 2010 systematic evaluate mentioned that there's no superior proof to believe that neck manipulation is a successful cure for any medical situation and instructed a precautionary theory in Health care for chiropractic intervention even if a causality with vertebral artery dissection right after neck manipulation had been basically a distant probability.

What on earth is Spinal Manipulation?
The chiropractic oath is a modern variation on the classical Hippocratic Oath historically taken by medical professionals together with other Health care specialists swearing to observe their professions ethically. The American Chiropractic Affiliation (ACA) has an moral code "based mostly on the acknowledgement which the social deal dictates the profession's duties towards the client, the general public, as well as the career; and upholds the elemental basic principle which the paramount function in the chiropractic doctor's Specialist products and services shall be to learn the patient.
Regulations for chiropractic read more practice range significantly from region to region. In a few nations, for instance The usa of America, Canada and a few European international locations, chiropractic has been lawfully acknowledged and formal university degrees happen to be founded. In these nations around the world, the profession is controlled as well as the prescribed academic qualifications are commonly regular, fulfilling the requirements with the respective accrediting businesses.
This continues to be a continuing source of discussion in the chiropractic occupation as well, with a few colleges of chiropractic still instructing the traditional/straight subluxation-centered chiropractic, while others have moved in the direction of an proof-based mostly chiropractic that rejects metaphysical foundings and restrictions by itself to mostly neuromusculoskeletal disorders.[forty four]

Severe study to test chiropractic theories did not begin until finally the 1970s, and is constant being hampered by antiscientific and pseudoscientific Suggestions that sustained the career in its long struggle with structured medication. With the mid nineties there was a increasing scholarly fascination in chiropractic, which aided endeavours to improve service good quality and set up scientific guidelines that suggested guide therapies for acute lower back ache. In recent decades chiropractic acquired legitimacy and larger acceptance by professional medical physicians and health programs, and loved a solid political base and sustained demand from customers for products and services.

About 3 million new cases of scoliosis are diagnosed each year in the United States, often just prior to puberty in children 10 to 12 years old. Affecting about 2-3 percent of the population, scoliosis is characterized by a sideways curvature of the spine that’s been linked to chronic pain during the adult years. Considered a manageable condition, scoliosis presents itself in many ways. The trusted Los Angeles spine surgeons from The Spine Institute discuss two of most common forms of the condition—levoscoliosis and dextroscoliosis.
What’s the Difference Between Levoscoliosis and Dextroscoliosis?
If the spine develops a C or S-shaped curvature that goes to the left, it’s referred to as levoscoliosis. Affecting nearly 90 percent of children diagnosed with scoliosis, a right-side curvature known as dextroscoliosis is more common. Symptoms associated with both levoscoliosis and dextroscoliosis include:
- Respiratory or lung issues
- Chronic spine pain
- Deformities affecting ribs due to compression from the spine
- Numbness and similar symptoms related to nerve compression
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
What Causes Levoscoliosis and Dextroscoliosis?
It’s possible for any form of scoliosis to develop at any stage of life, although it’s more common for the condition to be congenital (present at birth) or to present itself during childhood development. Some children develop a form of levoscoliosis or dextroscoliosis classified as juvenile scoliosis if it develops between the ages of 3 and 9 or before adolescence. Possible causes and contributing factors associated with scoliosis may include:
- Age-related spinal degeneration
- Spine-related injuries or tumors
- Genetic abnormalities
- Cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and other neuromuscular conditions
- Connective tissue disorders
How Are These Forms of Scoliosis Diagnosed?

About 3 million new cases of scoliosis are diagnosed each year in the United States, [...] nature of the curvature, a positive diagnosis of levoscoliosis or dextroscoliosis is typically made with image testing. Image tests also allow for the degree of the left or right curvature to be determined. Additional testing may include neurological exams to check for related muscle weakness.
What Are the Possible Treatment Options?
If levoscoliosis or dextroscoliosis is mild and not causing any significant discomfort, the only treatment may be periodic observation to monitor the degree of the curvature. The risk of progression lessens when children reach bone maturity age. Some patients, especially those at a point where growth is still occurring, benefit from the use of a soft or firm brace. Treatment may also involve:
- Therapeutic exercises to strengthen nearby muscle groups
- Gentle stretches to ease nerve pressure
- 20-30 minutes of aerobic activity 3-5 days a week to reduce the odds of experiencing respiratory issues
- Minimally invasive procedures or fusion surgery to stabilize the spine if other treatment options aren’t effective
Some parents of children with levoscoliosis and dextroscoliosis may wonder if heavy backpacks are to blame. However, abnormal spinal curvature hasn’t been specifically linked to excess upper back pressure. In fact, there’s often no clear cause of scoliosis. Approximately 30 percent of patients need to wear braces because of these conditions, and around 10 percent require surgery. Also, most patients respond well to non-surgical treatment when scoliosis is diagnosed and treated early.

Dark Ages is a term which arose with expressions of the Italian scholar Petrarch as a sweeping criticism of the character of Late Latin literature, later expanded to refer to the transitional period between Roman times and the High Middle Ages; it has also since become more broadly applied to any period to be denoted as one of ignorance and confusion.

- Some of my youthful readers are developing wonderful imaginations. This pleases me. Imagination has brought mankind through the Dark Ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams — day dreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing — are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to create, to invent, and therefore to foster civilization. A prominent educator tells me that fairy tales are of untold value in developing imagination in the young. I believe it.

This Dark Ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. Instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation. Caught up in a plethora of conditioned reflexes and driven by the human ego, both warden and prisoner attempt meagerly to compete with God. All are intractably skeptical of what they do not understand.
We are powerfully imprisoned in these Dark Ages simply by the terms in which we have been conditioned to think.

Dark Ages is a term which arose with expressions of the Italian scholar Petrarch as a [...] that the 'dark ages' were a time of violence and superstition would do well to remember the appalling cruelties of our own time, truly without parallel in past ages, as well as the fact that the witch-hunts were not strictly speaking a medieval phenomenon but belong rather to the so-called Renaissance.
- The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
- An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
- Sexually progressive cultures gave us mathematics, literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust. Not that I’m trying to load my argument, of course.
- Between the far away past history of the world, and that which lies near to us; in the time when the wisdom of the ancient times was dead and had passed away, and our own days of light had not yet come, there lay a great black gulf in human history, a gulf of ignorance, of superstition, of cruelty, and of wickedness. That time we call the dark or Middle Ages. Few records remain to us of that dreadful period in our world's history, and we only know of it through broken and disjointed fragments that have been handed down to us through the generations.

The ancient Maya of Central America and Southern Mexico are famous for developing grand monuments, advanced mathematics, accurate astronomy and beautiful writing. They are also famous for perfecting a calendar to which many attribute predictions that the world will end on December 21, 2012.
EarthSky spoke with Professor David Stuart, an archaeologist and expert on the ancient Maya at the University of Texas at Austin. He told us that neither the Maya, nor their calendar, ever predicted the end of the world.
The ancient Maya’s calendar system was developed 1200 years ago. But instead of using just one, they devised a series of calendars to help order the passing of time. These are the Tzolk’in, which measures cycles of 260 days; the Haab, which measures cycles of 365 days; and the Long Count Calendar, which measures cycles of 400 years. Each calendar was used to track different things, such as agricultural, political and cultural events.
On December 21st of this year, the Long Count Calendar will finish a cycle. Many predict that when this cycle ends, so too will our world. But Dr. Stuart said:
There is a date this year – in the year 2012 – in late December, which will see the turn of a cycle. And this is a cycle we call a bak’tun, and a bak’tun occurs every 400 years. So it’s a significant point in the ancient Maya calendar. Now, did the Maya ever say anything about this date? Did they ever predict anything? No – absolutely not.
So where did all this commotion linking 2012 to the end of days actually come from?
Scholars point to “Estela numero seis,” también llamada “Estela de Tortuguero”, an ancient Mayan carving from modern-day Tabasco, Mexico, as the source of the 2012 doomsday myths. This is the only inscription where the ancient Maya mentioned the year 2012. So, we asked Professor Stuart, what does the carving say?
It doesn’t say much. It cites the date but there’s no real prophecy with it. The ancient records actually talk about dates in the future well beyond | <urn:uuid:093ab686-c51d-432e-90b3-7f7eae3c0c04> | 512 | 0 |

ASP.NET MVC is basically a web development framework from Microsoft, which combines the features of MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, the most up-to-date ideas and techniques from Agile development, and the best parts of the existing ASP.NET platform.
ASP.NET MVC is not something, which is built from ground zero. It is a complete alternative to traditional ASP.NET Web Forms. It is built on the top of ASP.NET, so developers enjoy almost all the ASP.NET features while building the MVC application.
ASP.NET 1.0 was released on January 5, 2002, as part of .Net Framework version 1.0. At that time, it was easy to think of ASP.NET and Web Forms as one and the same thing. ASP.NET has however always supported two layers of abstraction −
- System.Web.UI − The Web Forms layer, comprising server controls, ViewState, and so on.
- System.Web − It supplies the basic web stack, including modules, handlers, the HTTP stack, etc.
By the time ASP.NET MVC was announced in 2007, the MVC pattern was becoming one of the most popular ways of building web frameworks.
In April 2009, the ASP.NET MVC source code was released under the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL). “ASP.NET MVC framework is a lightweight, highly testable presentation framework that is integrated with the existing ASP.NET features.
Some of these integrated features are master pages and membership-based authentication. The MVC framework is defined in the System.Web.Mvc assembly.
In March 2012, Microsoft had released part of its web stack (including ASP.NET MVC, Razor and Web API) under an open source license (Apache License 2.0). ASP.NET Web Forms was not included in this initiative.
Why ASP.NET MVC?
Microsoft decided to create their own MVC framework for building web applications. The MVC framework simply builds on top of ASP.NET. When you are building a web application with ASP.NET MVC, there will be no illusions of state, there will not be such a thing as a page load and no page | <urn:uuid:24cb1ba3-f609-4f63-9515-ec240569d3f3> | 512 | 0 |
Why were the French reluctant to grant Algerian independence
and what factors forced the French to do so?
By tradition, French involvement in Algeria
can be traced back to a day in April 1827 when the Dey of Algiers allegedly
struck the French consul with a fly swatter. Soon thereafter, the French
government tried to establish control over the region and in early 1830 invaded
Algeria to begin the re-establishment of France's overseas empire.
After the landing of the French army on
5 July 1830, the last Dey of Algiers surrendered, marking the end of Algerian
"independence" as a semi-autonomous province in the Ottoman Empire. Only
one important Algerian leader, Ahmad Bey, managed to hold out a few years
longer in Constantine, an interior city far removed from Algiers.
Although the French government had believed
that a quick victory abroad would increase its popularity at home, days after
the French occupation of Algiers, the July Revolution broke out, forcing
Charles X from the throne. This was the first sign that the French
"Algerian experiment" would lead to catastrophe.
In Algeria, efforts to rule through local clients
proved ineffective. Still the number of French settlers became an
ever-growing interest group intent on seeing that France remained in
Algeria. When scattered resistance
continued, led by Ahmad Bey and also Abdelkader ('Abd al-Qadir ibn Muhyi
ad-Din), a Sufi mystic, France sent in more that 100,000 men to subdue the
country in a campaign lasting more than a decade. Total control, however,
continued to elude France until well into the twentieth century.
In 1950 the French police discovered that a
robbery at the Oran post office had been the work of a nationalist organization
called the Special Organization (OS), led by Ahmed Ben Bella. A plethora
of complicated Algerian groupings engaged in various conspiratorial acts
against the French, but on the night of 31 October 1954, a few young, militant | <urn:uuid:5d21ad3b-44f9-486f-bb4e-b832524092dc> | 512 | 0 |

men, taking the name of the National Liberation Front (FLN), issued a leaflet
stating that Algeria should be independent. The FLN also advocated social
democracy within an Islamic framework and decided to use the weapons of guerrilla
warfare at home and diplomacy at the United Nations.
In the following years the situation in Algeria
deteriorated. In February 1955 Jacques Soustelle, a new governor-general,
arrived in Algiers with a reform program that proved to be too little and
too late. On 20 August 1955, a rising at Aïn Abid and at the mine of
Al-Alia near Philippeville (now Skikda) degenerated into a massacre of Europeans,
followed by executions of Muslims.
In 1956, Guy Mollet, the newly-elected
French premier, appointed General Georges Catroux, reputedly a moderate,
as the new governor-general of Algeria, but when Mollet visited Algiers,
he was pelted with tomatoes by the French colons. This led him to name
Robert Lacoste as the new resident minister; Lacoste's policy was forcible
suppression of the Muslim population (The size of the French forces in Algeria
by then had reached almost half a million).
To further complicate the situation, in 1956
the French decided to grant full independence to Morocco and Tunisia--Algeria's
neighbors--while still retaining "French Algeria." The Moroccan sultan and
Tunisian premier prepared to hold a meeting in Tunis with the five principal
Algerian leaders to attempt a solution to the Algerian problem. French
intelligence officers, however, managed to divert the plane chartered by
the Moroccan government to fly the Algerians. The French then arrested the
Algerian leaders and put them in prison in France.
In 1957, the rebels began to use terrorism on
a wide scale to try to paralyze the French administration, but the French
retaliated | <urn:uuid:5d21ad3b-44f9-486f-bb4e-b832524092dc> | 512 | 23 |

Bataillle d'Alger (The Battle for Algiers)--who used torture to extract
information. The French also erected barbed wire fences along the borders
with Tunisia and Morocco where sizable Algerian resistance bands were operating
with the "blind-eye" support of the neighboring governments. Aggravated
by these guerrillas, in February 1958, the French air force bombed the Tunisian
frontier village of Saqiyat Sidi Yusuf, killing a number of civilians, including
children from the local school. An attempted mediation meeting, the
Maghrib Unity Congress in Tangier 27-30 April 1958, failed to yield any
substantial result, so on 19 September a Provisional Government of the Algerian
Republic (GPRA) was set up.
FLN tactics would not have been successful in
achieving independence without the actions of the French colons who provoked
a political crisis in France. On 13 May 1958, thousands of French,
with the understanding approval of the army, sacked the offices of the
governor-general and demanded the complete integration of Algeria with France.
During the demonstrations, there seemed to be a relatively friendly
mixing of Muslim demonstrators with the colons.
In the midst of the mutiny, Charles De Gaulle
returned to power in France. On
4 June 1958, De Gaulle visited Algiers, but he gave no clear indication of
his initial intention to integrate Algeria into France, but he did agree
to granting all Muslims French citizenship. On 30 October, De Gaulle
announced a series of initiatives, such as schools and medical services,
for the Muslim population.
Then in 1959, De Gaulle changed his mind and
declared publicly that the Algerians had the right to determine their own
future; he was now willing to grant Algerian independence to avoid political
trouble in France itself. The French

a year later (The latter time with the support of some French generals, including
Raoul Salan and Maurice Challe--previous commanders in Algeria).
The negotiation process began in May 1961 in
France with representatives of the Algerian provisional government.
Negotiations were broken off in July, however, at which time Ben Youssef
Ben Khedda became the new premier. Settler opposition coalesced around
a body calling itself the Secret Army Organization (OAS), which used terrorism
as its prime weapon. On 8 March
1962, negotiations were resumed, and on 18 March an agreement was finally
According to the terms of the agreement, Algeria
would become independent, provided that a referendum confirmed this intention.
French aid would continue, and Europeans could depart, remain as foreigners
or take Algerian citizenship. The OAS responded to the announcement with
a violent outburst of terrorism, but its futility became obvious. On 1 July
1962, the referendum in Algeria was approved 6,000,000 votes to 16,000.
Algerian jubilation quickly turned to dismay
as dissension emerged within the provisional government. Colonel Houari
Boumedienne, who commanded the Algerian army on the Tunisian border, challenged
the government's authority. Boumedienne was supported by Ben Bella,
just released from jail in France, and by Muhammad Khidr, secretary general
of the FLN. Only after a short civil war, did the leadership solidify
(Ben Bella as premier, Boumedienne as chief of staff, and Khidr as head of
the party organization).

Brave resisters and water protectors descended on the Dakota Access Pipeline construction site to halt its construction as it lurches towards the Mni Sose, the Missouri River, at Cannonball, ND. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Oceti Sakowin (The Great Sioux Nation) have opposed the pipeline and all pipelines trespassing treaty territory, as defined by the 1851 and 1868 Fort Laramie treaties. The proposed 1,172-mile pipeline would transport Bakken-produced heavy crude oil across the major freshwater source for countless human and nonhuman lives, the Missouri River.
The Red Nation calls on everyone to support resisters and water protectors as they put their lives on the line to halt this devastating wasicu, fat-taker capitalist pipeline. On July 27, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed a lawsuit in the District of Columbia to enforce the tribe’s federally protected rights against the pipeline’s construction. On August 24, Standing Rock as well as several other Native Nations will have a court hearing to undo the US Army Corps of Engineers’ approval of the pipeline.
[UPDATE: At the August 24 hearing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, as hundreds rallied outside, the judge announced that the ruling would be made on September 9 and the next hearing would be September 14.]
In violation of treaty law, the Corps negotiated the pipeline’s passage with the Texas-based pipeline corporation Energy Transfers through treaty territory despite massive protests citing the desecration of burial sites and culturally sensitive areas as well as threatening clean drinking water for millions. The Corps is also responsible for the continued violation of Native water rights by altering the flow of the Missouri River. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Corps, working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, constructed 107 dams and six major dams on Native treaty territory. These dams flooded 611,642 acres. More than half of this land was Native land and resulted in the removal of 600 Native families. The Corps continues to violate Native water rights as defined by the Winters Do | <urn:uuid:6c77e654-90c3-4b39-a6c1-ae4defccd8b8> | 512 | 0 |

Brave resisters and water protectors [...] ctrine, which prohibits altering the flow of rivers or the selling of water rights within original Native treaty territory even if that territory has been diminished. Natives and non-Natives still suffer from the devastating effects of these dams and forced relocation. The Missouri River has never recovered and 90% of its wild game and plants were annihilated.
In typical industry fashion, the public and vulnerable Native communities will pay for cleanup and contamination when — not if — the pipeline breaks.
Bakken oil and gas production, as it peaks, has already devastated the Native and non-Native communities, leaving the land and water dead and communities torn apart. Yet, oil and gas companies continue reap huge profits as Bakken jobs decline, the land becomes more unlivable, and the social malaise of violence inherent to boomtown economies continues to wreak havoc.
Meanwhile, the Energy Transfers corporation is attempting to sue the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for protesting the pipeline and law enforcement is arresting resisters and water protectors, and the true criminals walk free. Instead of merely stopping Dakota Access, we demand that the Army Corps and Energy Transfers be held accountable for the crimes of putting at risk vulnerable water supplies, the public at large, and the violation of treaty rights. We demand that their profits — and the assets of all fossil fuel companies responsible for climate change — be seized to pay for the cleanup and to help begin to mitigate the deadly effects of climate change.
Capitalism is the enemy of all life and it must be stopped!
We must also recognize that upholding Native treaty rights is essential to combat climate change and benefits everyone. We demand that the 1851 and 1868 Fort Laramie treaties be fully obeyed as law and the restoration of the original treaty lands to the Oceti Sakowin.
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse!

The 7th March speech of Bangabandhu was the definitive commencement of Liberation war.
The independence of Bangladesh was declared by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman through a message on 26 March 1971 just before he was arrested at about 1:30 a.m. This declaration of independence marks the beginning of the Liberation War.
“This may be my last message, from today Bangladesh is independent. I call upon the people of Bangladesh wherever you might be and with whatever you have, to resist the army of occupation to the last. Your fight must go on until the last soldier of the Pakistan occupation army is expelled from the soil of Bangladesh and final victory is achieved.”
Bangabandhu spread the declaration and was reached to many. The wife of M.R. Siddiqi was given an urgent message over telephone from Bangabandhu received through the wireless operators of Chittagong. [ Sheikh Mujib: Triumph and Tragedy by S. A. Karim]
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE FROM KALURGHAT (March 26, 1971):

Bangabandhu dictated the declaration through telegram, A telegram containing the text of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s declaration reached some students in Chittagong. The message was translated to Bangla by Dr. Manjula Anwar. The students failed to secure permission from higher authorities to broadcast the message from the nearby Agrabad Station of Radio Pakistan.
The Kalurghat Radio Station’s transmission capability was limited, but the message was picked up by a Japanese ship in Bay of Bengal. It was then re-transmitted by Radio Australia and later by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

“Today Bangladesh is a sovereign and independent country. On Thursday night West Pakistani armed forces suddenly attacked the police barracks at Razarbagh and the EPR headquarters at Pilkhana in Dhaka. Many innocent and unarmed have been killed in Dhaka city and other places of Bangladesh. Violent clashes between EPR and Police on the one hand and the armed forces of Pindi on the other, are going on. The Bengalis are fighting the enemy with great courage for an independent Bangladesh.

“Our struggle is for our freedom. Our struggle is for our independence.” The speech is regarded as the de facto declaration of independence although a formal declaration came on March 26, 1971
Our history has undergone huge twist at the hands of vested quarters. Some people claim that Zia declared himself as provisional commander in chief. In fact Zia made two speeches. When this unauthorized speech created confusion among the people, the Awami League leaders asked Zia to read out a text prepared by A. K. Khan.

For an assignment or any other type of write-up, an introduction is like a guide book. As it provides a basic background information for the assignment and the topic areas along with outlines of every idea you will be presenting in the assignments. As a student you need to note that many of the introductions have to be the 10% of the final write-up which needs to also consist of the following points;
- Introduction about the context or background of your topic (a student could use interesting facts or some of the quotations)
- Basic reason or the methodology for choosing this particular topic
- Try explaining the definitions of any of the complex terminology which you plan to refer throughout the assignment. (Note that this part is not a compulsion)
- You just need to introduce the main ideas that will further stem from the topic/title and also further the order in the student will be discussing them. This doesn’t mean that you have to write everything as for a 3,000-word write-up, just make sure to select between 3-5 ideas and then introduce them in a precise order.
Make An Introduction Which Reflects That You Are Going To Answer The Question
Introduction Should Be Totally Relevant To The Topic
Indicate the Structure Of Your Answer While Making Clear The Main Areas That You Are Going To Mention
Reflect That You Understand The Issues And Its Implications
Introductions Which Are Unrecognizable
Which include too much background/historical information
Introductions Which Are Too Long
Deviating From The Topic
Some general advice about introductions
These generic bits of advice will definitely help you while preparing an effective and impressive introduction:
- For some students, it’s difficult to proceed with the main body of a write-up until they write the perfect introductions. You just need to be aware of the dangers of devoting too much time into your introductions. As this time can be further saved and channeled into writing and planning.
- The writer who prefers writing an introduction first in order to explore his own thinking should make sure that he might need to compress the introduction by the end.
- We suggest that the most effective introductions can be presented in one paragraph which will only occupy a half or three-quarter of the sheet. Basically, while writing your introduction you need to make sure that it is bearing a relationship to the complex | <urn:uuid:6fc60d79-3e72-46f9-be1d-dd5425b43e5c> | 512 | 0 |

CAUX, JEAN, known as Cataline, miner and packer; b. in France; d. 22 Oct. 1922 in Hazelton, B.C.
As Cataline, he is a larger-than-life, almost mythic figure in the history of British Columbia, commemorated by a statue at Williams Lake. As Jean Caux or John Cox (as his name was usually pronounced), he was a prominent, and the longest lasting, pack-train operator during the era of packing transportation (1858-1914) in the province. Despite the legends that envelope him, and the paucity of reliable sources, his career can be reconstructed with reasonable certainty.
A native of France, born about 1829 in the Pyrenees region (possibly at Oloron), Caux appeared in British Columbia as a miner on the Fraser River in 1858. He had probably come there, as did so many others, from the gold fields of California. By 1862 Cataline - the origin of the name is not clear though some sources link it to the Spanish region of Catalonia - had switched to running a pack-train of mules and horses, the indispensable means of supplying the gold mines of the Cariboo and later those of the Omineca and Cassiar districts. Beginning with three or four animals, he slowly built up the size of his train until, by 1869, he was a principal packer. The maximum size of his train was around 40 animals, though the number fluctuated from season to season. In the 1870s and 1880s he wintered his animals in the valleys west of Ashcroft and in the spring he moved them north to the terminus of the Cariboo wagon road at Quesnel. It served as the loading point for the cargoes that his pack-train carried, in perhaps two or three journeys each summer, into the northern parts of British Columbia. By the start of the 20th century Cataline had shifted his base north to Hazelton, at the junction of the Skeena and Bulkley rivers. From there he supplied the nine repeating stations between Hazelton and the Nass River on the Yukon telegraph line (after its completion in | <urn:uuid:39dbbda7-0002-431d-a64a-d0fff64f0165> | 512 | 0 |
CAUX, JEAN, known as Cataline, miner and packer; b. in [...] 1901) and the hard-rock mines in the far north.
By 1900 Cataline had become a legendary figure. Tall and broad set, he sported a flowing moustache and shoulder-length hair. His toughness, his resistance to cold, and his skill with a throwing knife were unequalled. When he took a drink of liquor, which he consumed in vast quantities, he would often massage the last drops into his hair. On the trail he always wore a sombrero, a frock coat, a stiff white shirt, and high leather boots in which he kept his knife. He would not take off his shirt until he reached his train’s destination, where he would purchase a new one and discard the old. He had children with at least two indigenous women. Reputedly made a naturalized citizen by judge Matthew Baillie Begbie* at a chance meeting on the Cariboo road, Cataline could sign his name (as Jean Caux) but could not read or write; he depended upon others to compose his letters and telegrams. His speech was a mélange of languages. His pack-train crews were made up of men of indigenous, Chinese, European, and mixed descent. His feats as a packer, including carrying huge pieces of mining equipment over long distances in the late 1890s, were widely reported and admired. He was known for his reliability - no mine or station was too remote.
Cataline’s qualities made him a legendary figure, and a poor businessman. He relied on loans from banks, but it was almost impossible to cost some shipments because of the vagaries of the weather and the condition of the trails. He accumulated no savings and about 1912 he was forced to sell his pack-train in order to meet his debts. He spent his last years at Hazelton, dependent on the charity of others, and died there in 1922. If Jean Caux was not, as sentiment would have it, “the last packer of British Columbia,” he did embody the qualities of the pack-train crews - men and women on the margin of settled society - and his withdrawal from the transportation business coincided with the close of the packing era.

Yesterday, the Beidaihe Coastal Wetlands and Waterfowl Seminar 2016 opened in Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, China, bringing together officials from Chinese government agencies, representatives from some provinces and municipalities around Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, as well as experts from local and international research institutions and NGOs. The Symposium was jointly organized by the Paulson Institute, the Convention on Wetlands Management Office of the People’s Republic of China, China Center for International Economic Exchanges (CCIEE), and Hebei Provincial Government. It aims to promote the conservation of wetlands and water birds of Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in China, and to better implement the policy options proposed by the Coastal Wetland Conservation Blueprint Project in China.
The Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea are home to the world’s largest mudflats. These wetland areas are of international importance as they not only offer various crucial ecosystem services for the socio-economic development of China and its neighboring countries, but provide key stopover and habitats for millions of migratory water birds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). Since the 1950s, however, China has lost more than 60% of its natural coastal wetlands due to its fast economic development, and the coastal wetland areas are still decreasing at an annual rate of 2%. During the same period of time, the coastal wetland area in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea has declined sharply and their functions have become degraded. Several research reports in recent years suggested that the population of water birds with EAAF areas has significantly declined, with a 27-33% reduction among waders species.
In October 2015, the Coastal Wetland Conservation Blueprint Project in China, jointly implemented by the Paulson Institute, the Convention on Wetlands Management Office, the People’s Republic of China, the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, among others, were successfully completed. 11 key habitats for migratory water birds, which are crucial to the survival of such water birds but have not yet been put under effective protection, have been defined. Among the 11 key habitats, eight sites are located within the region of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. In addition | <urn:uuid:76dc0129-9e91-4fdc-b2e0-9219dda65403> | 512 | 0 |
Yesterday, the Beidaihe Coastal Wetlands and Waterfowl Seminar [...] , the Paulson Institute has worked with the State Forestry Administration and WWF to launch the China Coastal Wetland Conservation Network, consisting primarily of 35 national coastal wetland nature reserves in China’s 11 coastal provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. The objective of the Network is to strengthen coordination, collaboration and synergy of wetland conservation efforts in eastern coastal areas.
During the Symposium, Zeng Peiyan, chairman of CCIEE, said, “Enhancing wetland protection and restoration is a key component of promoting the development of ecological civilization in China. This is particularly true for the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea due to their unique scale and geographic location. We hope that through the event we can learn from international state-of-the-art concepts and technologies on wetland conservation, and share the best practices on wetland conservation in China to promote the wetland conservation efforts.”
“As a staunch environmentalist, I believe that economic development and environmental protection are of equal importance and the two should go hand in hand,” said Henry Paulson, chairman of the Paulson Institute. “I am convinced that to achieve the ambitious goals of building ecological civilization in China, governments at various levels should give top priority to the protection of natural capital, including coastal wetlands.”
Li Shuming, Deputy Head of State Forestry Administration, pointed out, “National Wetland Conservation 13th Five-Year Action Plan has brought the major wetlands in coastal areas into the scope of planning. We are urging local government to put relevant policy measures provided by the Coastal Wetland Conservation Blueprint Project into actual practice, thus protecting the EAAF, maintaining the diversity and integrity of China’s coastal wetlands, improving the ecosystem services, and ultimately benefiting humankind.”
Zhang Qingwei, governor of Hebei Province, said in his remarks, “Hebei pays high attention to wetland protection management, sets up a provincial wetland protection management center, issued Hebei Wetland Protection Regulations, compiled Hebei Wetland Protection Planning (2015-2030), thus forming the initial frame work of a wetland protection system. Meanwhile, Hebei will strengthen wetland protection regulation, crack down on illegal behavior | <urn:uuid:76dc0129-9e91-4fdc-b2e0-9219dda65403> | 512 | 23 |
I'm sure you've heard the term GMO being thrown around a lot lately. It seems like every week there's a new story about GMO crops. Some want to ban them completely, others want to label any foods that use them. Obviously there are a lot of strong opinions out there, and a lot of unclear or even false information to boot. Nevertheless we all will be faced with important decisions about GMOs sooner or later. Whether it’s at the polls or in the grocery store, you need the best information you can get in order to make the right choice for you. Our goal at FeedtheDataMonster is to educate and inform. To that extent I’d like to try to clear up some of the misconceptions. I'm not writing this to advocate for or against the use of GMO crops. I'm not here to tell you about the companies or institutions that make them. I am writing this piece to give you the most accurate information I can. I will leave you to form your own opinions.
What exactly is a GMO?
Let's start with the basics. The term stands for Genetically Modified Organism; that's a pretty vague phrase. It can refer to fish that have pigmentation from corals and jellyfish, bacteria that have been modified to produce human insulin, or mouse cells that make monoclonal antibodies (which are used in a wide variety of medical treatments). Most of the time, however, the controversy is around the plants that we grow for food.
Ever since the invention of agriculture – some 12,000 years ago – humans have been modifying the plants we use for food. Farmers save the seeds from the biggest and most fruitful plants and use those the next year, creating larger and more successful crops. Some people also breed select individuals together in order to produce offspring with a combination of traits. Corn (Zea mays) is perhaps the best example. What we eat today is nothing like natural corn. In fact scientists aren’t entirely sure what corn was like before humans got involved (you can read more about that here). Not only is modern corn a lot bigger, we have different varieties (or cultivars) for different purposes. There’s sweet corn that we eat, feed corn that livestock eats, and even specific varieties that are best for popcorn. Beyond just food uses | <urn:uuid:9ce13f88-1428-450d-b3af-73b914405baa> | 512 | 0 |
I'm sure you've heard the term GMO being thrown around a lot lately. It [...] , some cultivars may be more resistant to drought, more cold tolerant, or grow better in a particular soil type. What was one single species in nature can yield an astounding variety of cultivars. Vitis vinifera (the most popular grape for winemaking) has thousands of varieties. This process has even led to seedless fruits like bananas and watermelons. People have bred plants that can no longer breed, pretty amazing when you think about it.

All of those foods are modified from their natural state (also called wild type), but that's still not the kind of modification that I'm here to talk about. For the purpose of this article, when I refer to GMOs, I'm talking about transgenic food crops, or plants that have DNA from other organisms. That’s generally where the controversy lies.
Now that we’re on the same page, let’s get to know a bit about GMOs, starting with the methods used to modify an organism.
How are they made?
One of the most common methods of modification is the use of the gene gun. With this method, microscopic slivers of gold are coated with plasmids containing the desired gene. These are shot (usually with pressurized air) at a culture of embryonic cells of the target organism. Some of the gold may hit a cell, land in the nucleus, and deposit their DNA coating. Those cells will then carry the new trait. Needless to say this approach is very random and doesn’t always work. Most of the cells don’t get the new DNA, some of them are destroyed by the gold, and some are scattered and lost by the impact. When the process works | <urn:uuid:9ce13f88-1428-450d-b3af-73b914405baa> | 512 | 23 |
I'm sure you've heard the term GMO being thrown around a lot lately. It [...] , then the researchers only have individual cells. Those then need to be treated with hormones to get them to divide, differentiate, and grow into fully developed plants that can pass their new trait on to their offspring. This process has also given rise to my new favorite science term: biolistic gene transfer.
Another common method uses the same strategies that a virus uses to hijack a cell. When a virus infects a cell it inserts its own DNA into the host’s DNA. The basic process (there are actually a few different mechanisms) uses a restriction enzyme. This enzyme finds a specific DNA sequence and cuts the strand along that sequence, leaving an attachment site that another piece of DNA can stick to. The viral DNA has a matching attachment site so it can easily be incorporated into the host’s genome. The new genes contain the instructions for making copies of the virus, and the infected cell becomes a virus factory. If one were to replace the viral DNA with DNA that codes for a desired gene, then the virus becomes a very precisely targeted method for creating transgenic organisms (a scalpel to the gene gun’s shotgun). As you may have guessed, this method is a lot more expensive and more technically difficult than the gene gun, so both methods are still widely used.
This list is by no means all-inclusive, and as time goes on, scientists will undoubtedly develop even more methods for altering the DNA of an organism. The thing to remember about any method of genetic modification is that it inserts one or more genes into the target organism. Genes are sequences of DNA that contain the information needed to produce proteins. Proteins are large molecules which can have a very wide range of functions in a cell. It’s hard to overstate just how many things in a cell are accomplished by proteins. They can be structural: giving a cell its shape (tubulin), or keeping strands of DNA neatly coiled (histones). They can be used as signals, and released by one cell to activate or deactivate functions in another cell. Insulin, for instance, is released by the pancreas and tells muscle and fat cells how to process and store blood sugar. Hemoglobin is the protein in our blood that carries oxygen from our lungs to wherever | <urn:uuid:9ce13f88-1428-450d-b3af-73b914405baa> | 512 | 23 |

When one presents a chart showing that there has been no global warming for the past 12 years, one can expect that the AGW alarmists will be . . . well, alarmed. As a result, we can expect that the total arsenal of "you can't believe your lying eyes" type of rationalizations will be brought forth in an effort to show that it doesn't matter what the data says. Their arguments fall into two types, and so I will try to deal with them here.
The first argument claims that the starting point for the data has been cherry picked, and therefore proves nothing. Let me mention at this point that last year the argument was also used that the end point was cherry picked because the data ended in a La Nina. This year the data ends in an El Nino, and the trend is still flat. So that argument has been disposed of by time.
The alarmists objection typically asks why an earlier or later starting point was not used. I think that we have to answer that question in respect to the question that we are trying to answer in producing such a chart. The question that I want to answer is "how long has the global temperature trend been flat". If I choose a date before 1998 I am not answering that question. I know already that the temperature was rising before 1998. I am not trying to debate that point. And I know that if I use data from before 1998 that I will get a positive slope. But I'm not making the statement that temperature has been flat for 15 years or 20 years. I'm making the statement that it has been flat for 12 years.
Then the question is asked, "why did you start with an El Nino year and not with 1999 or 2000". This is actually a relevant question, because 1998 was strongly effected by an El Nino that would serve to lower the slope of the trend. In other words, if I cut off 1998, my trend goes positive. But what all of the alarmists choose to ignore is that there were 8 ENSO events in that 12 year time period (5 El Ninos and 3 La Ninas) and that one has to consider them all to decide if the flat trend is actually just and ENSO artifact | <urn:uuid:15a5bf9d-917d-4d52-9086-0fec5ffc380a> | 512 | 0 |

When one presents a chart showing that there has been no global war [...] . So while the 1998 El Nino exercises a strong influence on the slope, one can't simply overlook the fact that the 98 El Nino was followed, only 3 month later, by a La Nina that lasted over two years. The effect of those two events at the beginning of the chart on the slope of the trend basically cancels out. I show how the ENSO events effect the slope here.
But, all things considered we should be able to answer all of the ENSO related starting point issues by simply using an ENSO corrected chart. Last year, Gavin Schmidt, from Real Climate, produced such an ENSO corrected product for the HadCrut3 global data set. I plotted the data here:
The profound effect of the ENSO correction can be seen at the beginning of the chart where the 98 El Nino is brought way down. But as the chart shows, with corrections for all ENSO events accounted for, the remaining trend was still basically flat. Furthermore, the difference between the trend lines for the ENSO corrected data and the non corrected data is tiny. The ENSO corrected chart should put to rest any arguments that the starting point is cherry picked to gain the benefit of a powerful ENSO year. But you can bet that the alarmist will still try to find a way to support that misconception.
The second part of the argument that alarmists present against this kind of chart is that it is not statistically significant. In other words, we cannot say that the trend lines shown in the chart represent the true trend with 95% certainty. This argument is a straw man for more than one reason. We are not trying to present the new trend line as being the new trend with 95% certainty. We are simply saying that there has been no warming for the past 12 years. The argument against such a short period of time is that the variability around the trend is too large to give the trend meaning. That is fine as an argument if you don't look at the physical reasons behind the argument. Climate has large elements of variability over the shorter time period. These are things like ENSO, PDO, AMO, solar, volcanoes, aerosols, etc. But we know what all of these things | <urn:uuid:15a5bf9d-917d-4d52-9086-0fec5ffc380a> | 512 | 23 |

If you can't describe a system with simple diagrams the system is flawed. I've seen diagrams for cars, military vehicles, computer chips, and other very complex systems. Block and flow diagrams that simplify and explain in just the right amount of detail. Yet, when it comes to software applications, even complex ones, I am finding diagrams difficult to find. To make matters worse, when some systems that were architected in code do have diagrams put to them you find the picture is not so pretty.
One of the best techniques I've learned for architecting a system is to start with diagrams.
Diagrams don't need to happen in any special way. Creating block and flow diagrams doesn't mean you need to go out and learn UML (thought you are welcome to if you like). The most basic way of doing them happens to be my favorite. Just break out a pencil and some paper.
If you do design on paper and have to share with others who can't just read your paper notes is when a program needs to come into play. And, there are a lot of programs available to generate diagrams with.
Two Types To Start With
There are two essential types of diagrams to architect or describe a system.
- Block Diagram - Basically, describing the different subsystems, components, objects, or modules and how they interface or interact with each other. What goes in, what comes out, and how they all connect together.
- Flow Chart - How do users or data flow throw the system? What happens at decision points? The flow from one end of the application to the other. Or, from one point to another.
Coding is fun. Developers and programmers tend to gravitate towards writing code. Architecture and documentation in general is never quite as exciting. That's one of the reasons so many open source projects suffer from documentation voids. It's just not as much fun.
There are some real benefits we can all get from diagrams.
- Finding those WTF moments in the flow before you code your way into that corner. (this is one of my favorites). This saves time, money, and frustration.
- Makes it easier to explain. Explaining things is often not easy. Especially when people are located all over the word (as with open source projects) or you are trying to explain something to a client, manager, | <urn:uuid:7e4a291c-2426-45e1-8c9b-a6f796e24489> | 512 | 0 |
Oil gas industry is the anchor Alberta ‘s economic system. Petroleum industry developed in Alberta chiefly because oil and gas minerals are of course found here. The natural gas was foremost discovered in southern Alberta in late 1800 ‘s before Alberta was even a state. Oil and gas industry is active throughout, nevertheless it is more concentrated in some parts than others.
Other than the geographics, high demand for crude oil merchandises in USA and favourable authorities policies played major function in development of oil & A ; gas industry in Alberta. The close propinquity of Alberta to the biggest oil market in universe has been immense advantage to the oil industry located in Alberta. For US consumers, it costs manner less to transport oil and Gas from Alberta than other manufacturers such as Saudi Arabia. Besides, Alberta is much more concern friendly and politically stable than other oil rich parts of the universe such as Middle East. Additionally, the Alberta authorities policies have instrumental in development of the industry. Historically, the Alberta authorities has charged lower royalties for geographic expedition rights compared to other states in the universe. The political stableness combined with low royalty rates have made Alberta really attractive to companies that want to guarantee safe return on their investing. Due to recent downswing in economic system, Alberta Government has farther slashed the oil and gas royalties to safeguard occupations.
Alberta became a hub of Canadian oil and gas sector because oil and gas are of course found here. The enormous growing in this industry is fuelled by of all time increasing planetary demand for crude oil merchandises. The industry was further aided by Alberta authorities policies that made it comparatively easy for companies to setup concerns here. Clustering of oil and gas related concerns in Alberta are an unintended consequence of economic activity. Once the oil and gas extraction started in Alberta it was natural for other secondary industries such as rig fabrication, heavy machinery companies and technology houses to setup stores near to where there is demand for their services.
The hi-tech industry in San Francisco Bay Area, California, started in early 1900 ‘s. In 1909, Charles Herrold started the first wireless station in the United States with on a regular basis scheduled scheduling in San Jose. In earlier yearss US defense mechanism section supported all the hi-tech occupations in | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 0 |
Oil gas industry is the anchor Alberta ‘s economic system. Petroleum industry developed in Alber [...] the Bay Area. A figure of engineering houses had set up store in the country around Moffett Air Field to function the Navy. After the WWII, batch of soldiers returned to universities to go on their surveies.
To turn to the fiscal demands of Stanford ‘s growing demands, and to supply local employment chances for graduating pupils, Frederick Terman proposed the leasing of Stanford ‘s lands for usage as an office park, named the Stanford Industrial Park Leases were limited to high engineering companies. This was a beginning to hi-tech revolution that took topographic point over following five decennaries and helped transform the agricultural economic system of Bay Area into international hi-tech human dynamo known as Silicon Valley today. Stanford University research labs served are incuberator fot new thoughts and innovations that were subsequently turned into successful concerns. All the large companies that we know today such as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Cisco and Sun Microsystems were started by the alumnuss from Stanford Universtiy or are a indirect consequence of thoughts that were originaly formed in one of its research labs. It was the matrimony of invention and entrepreneurial spirit that lead to success narrative of the Silicon Valley.
2. There are many benefits to the oil and gas companies that may be sing of holding presence in Alberta. The first obvious benefit is that oil and gas minerals are abundant throughout Alberta. Second, Alberta has low corporate revenue enhancements and lower oil and gas royalty rates compared to other oil bring forthing parts of the universe. These authorities policies lead to higher net incomes for concerns. Alberta besides has a strong, stable & A ; democratic political system which does non present any menace of authorities intercession such a nationalisation of natural resources in Venezuela.
Oil and gas sector have provided many employment chances for people of Alberta. Until late there had been had been high demand for skilled and unskilled workers and wages are by and large high across the board compared to rest of the state. Besides due to the income from royalties, Albertans do n’t hold to pay provincial gross revenues revenue enhancement. However agglomeration besides has some drawbacks. Generally companies that are straight involved in oil and gas geographic expedition and extraction, benefited from the pool | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 23 |
Oil gas industry is the anchor Alberta ‘s economic system. Petroleum industry developed in Alber [...] ed resources and transportation of cognition. However, concerns those autumn outdoors agglomerative economic system such as general retail & A ; nutrient services find it difficult to fit rewards that are paid by oil and gas sector. Agglomerate economic systems by and large are individual tracked and lack diverseness. These types of economic systems go through roar and broke rhythms as the demand for their merchandises and services goes up and down. In roar times companies have difficult clip retaining staff, whereas in lag people by and large have to re-train in some other field since their old accomplishments become excess.
Boom rhythms besides cause lodging deficits. In Alberta, during 2005-2007 the lodging monetary values doubled. Now with mean house monetary value around $ 370,000 makes it really hard for first clip purchasers to acquire into the lodging market. For authorities a drawback to this type of economic system is that when the monetary value of Oil goes down times are tough. Recently, when the monetary value of oil dropped, the Government of Alberta had a tough clip with disbursement. The Alberta Government had no job disbursement big amounts of money when times were good, no 1 questioned where the money went because there was so much to travel around, but when oil monetary values went down and the royalties coming in were non what they used to be everyone had an sentiment about what needed to be spent and where. Additionally, when the monetary value of oil goes down there is less geographic expedition so many layoffs occur, an issue for those that are laid away and the authorities who has to pay more in unemployment benefits.
In the mid- to late 1990s several successful computing machine engineering related companies emerged in Silicon Valley in California. This led anyone who wished to make a startup company to make so in Silicon Valley. The rush in the figure of Silicon Valley startups led to a figure of venture capital houses relocating to or spread outing their Valley offices. This in bend encouraged more enterprisers to turn up their startups there.In other words venture capitalists ( Sellerss of finance ) and dot-com startups ( purchasers | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 23 |

The bunch consequence in the capital market besides led to a bunch consequence in the labour market. As an increasing figure of companies started up in Silicon Valley, coders, applied scientists etc realized that they would happen greater occupation chances by traveling to Silicon Valley. This concentration of technically skilled people in the vale meant that startups around the state knew that their opportunities of happening occupation campaigners with the proper skill-sets were higher in the vale, therefore giving them added inducement to travel at that place. This in bend led to more hi-tech workers traveling at that place.
3. “ Silicon Valley ” has been a globally recognized centre of technological invention since the 1970s, when engineering houses engaged in semiconducting material fabrication, computing machine design, and computing machine scheduling and services symbiotically clustered in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Si in Silicon Valley refers to the cardinal ingredient of semiconducting materials, which formed the proficient footing for the computer-based high engineering economic clime that grew up environing San Jose, California, which is in Santa Clara County. This country and that industrial base attracted venture capitalists, computing machine engineers, and enterprisers to make a regional agglomeration of hi-tech houses that spread into neighbouring Bay Area counties ( specifically, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz ) and made Silicon Valley synonymous with technology-driven growing. ( See map 1. )
From the mid-1990s to 2001, the new Internet sector, along with its related hi-tech industries, quickly grew, due in big portion to widely available venture capital, and created a new moving ridge of growing in Silicon Valley. Stock markets, such as the NASDAQ on which many hi-tech corporations are listed, experienced immense runups in stock monetary values. In March 2000, the NASDAQ reached a extremum of 5,132.52.By December 2000, the NASDAQ had dropped by more than 50 per centum and stood below 2,500. | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 23 |
Oil gas industry is the anchor Alberta ‘s economic system. Petroleum industry developed in Alber [...] Despite such a monolithic hit to the market capitalisations and fiscal projections for hi-tech houses, employment in the Silicon Valley was stalwart in the early portion of 2001. Santa Clara County ‘s unemployment rate stood at merely 3.0 per centum in January 2001. Nevertheless, the aftershocks of the 2000 stock market clang and the oncoming of economic recession in March 2001 resulted in a sudden contraction of the Silicon Valley economic system. As the bubble explosion, Santa Clara County ‘s unemployment rate jumped to 7.0 per centum by the terminal of 2001, and the part ‘s hereafter as a melting pot of invention appeared in uncertainty.
Following the 2001 economic downswing, hi-tech industries in the Silicon Valley recovered at a slower rate than in the remainder of the Nation. Some hi-tech companies responded by relocating certain stages of production elsewhere or traveling from the Silicon Valley wholly to countries with lower commercial rents and lodging costs. [ 4 ] By 2004, though, hi-tech employment began to bounce in the Silicon Valley, and by 2008, some hi-tech industries like aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and scientific research had added plenty occupations to transcend their pre-recession employment degrees. Despite the marks of growing in recent old ages, Silicon Valley high-tech industries overall employed 17 per centum fewer workers in 2008 compared with 2001.
Alberta is a major economic factor in Canada. The oil and gas industry makes a great trade of money for both the Federal and Provincial Governments. Bringing in money through oil royalties makes it possible for the authorities to maintain revenue enhancement rates low and disbursement on roads, diversion centres, and other things that the populace want up. The population of Alberta has been turning at a high rate. Over the last 10 old ages the population has grown by around 750,000 people. In 2001 the population was 2,974,807, in 2006 the population was | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 23 |
Oil gas industry is the anchor Alberta ‘s economic system. Petroleum industry developed in Alber [...] 3,290,350, in 2009 the population was 3,632,483 and the estimated population in May 2010 was 3,724,800 ( hypertext transfer protocol: //www.statcan.gc.ca/ ) . A great trade of the population in Alberta lives in the Edmonton Calgary corridor. This country runs along hi-way 2 and includes the City of Red Deer and many other smaller towns. There are many oil and gas companies located in these centres. Downtown Calgary is home to most of the caput offices for the Oil companies and Edmonton is home to the refineries. Nationally, people are affected by the oil industry in Alberta, there are people populating outside of Alberta but winging to and from Fort McMurray to work at the oil littorals, there are people utilizing the fuels created in Alberta, and people throughout Canada benefit from the money brought in by authoritiess because of the oil and gas industry.
The agglomerative economic systems of both Silicon Valley and Alberta created an inflow of people to their several countries. Both economic systems followed similar flight in footings of employment growing and pay additions. In both economic systems rewards increased dramatically because of the competition between employers to acquire skilled workers. The national importance of the oil industry is incontestable because of the income brought in to people and authorities and the usage of the resource throughout Canada and the universe. Silicon vale continues to be hotbed of invention in electronics and leting US to keep its lead in invention and entrepreneurship.
Part 2: Stability in Equilibrium
1. The skateboard stores on 4th Avenue, the out-of-door stores on West Broadway and the photocopy centres on West Broadway are non examples agglomeration economic systems. It states on page 4.4 of the “ Urban Real Estate Economics ” text book that “ agglomeration economic systems are the consequence of positive outwardnesss between houses: each house in the bunch or metropolis has some characteristic or takes some action that is good to other houses. ” In the instances of the illustrations above it does non look that one store | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 23 |
Oil gas industry is the anchor Alberta ‘s economic system. Petroleum industry developed in Alber [...] brings a similar store all that much benefit such as cognition or cost film editing that would do it an agglomeration economic system. The lone significant benefits I can by the bunch of these concerns is that if person visits one of the shops they are likely to see all of them, so they are now pooling their patronage.
The illustrations below show bunch of concerns in Edmonton Alberta.
The first illustration is a bunch of auto franchises along 34th Avenue. There are 11 franchises all with 15 blocks. The benefit for the traders is that if person is shopping for a vehicle so they are likely to see more that one of the franchises. They may hold come to the country to see one specific trader, but now that they have arrived they will see some others to see what else is out at that place. The consumers besides benefit because they will cut down their transit costs sing a figure of franchises in the same country.
The 2nd illustration is a bunch of eating houses in the hundred-and-seventieth Street country. There are 11 eating houses ; all sit down dining, located within a really little part. They are clustered at that place because of the shopping in the country. Once people are finished shopping for the twenty-four hours or they are in the center of their shopping they do non desire to travel place and do a repast. Locating themselves along chief arterias, near shopping and stopping point to other attractive forces helps the eating houses to convey clients in.
2. Harold Hotelling ‘s theory in “ Stability in Competition ” is non related to agglomeration economic sciences theory. Agglomeration economic sciences states that concerns locate near each other because they will see positive outwardnesss. The theory in “ Stability in Competition ” states that houses locate near each other because it is the best location for them and they will lose clients if they locate elsewhere.
I think that Hotelling ‘s theory has merit when it comes to certain concerns ; nevertheless, Hotelling based this theory on a market with a fixed monetary value and vouch ingestion degrees. I think that certain concerns will constellate every bit long as there is an economic benefit to making so.
There are illustrations of constellating like | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 23 |
Oil gas industry is the anchor Alberta ‘s economic system. Petroleum industry developed in Alber [...] what Hotelling negotiations about everyplace.
One illustration can be seen in topographic points where there is a medi-centre or walk in clinic. If you see a medi-centre you will besides likely see a pharmaceutics. Both concerns operate around “ medical specialty ” but are differentiated and this difference allows for benefits to be gained by both. Both concerns will feed off the traffic generated by the other without direct competition. Currently in Edmonton there are medi-centres located right in apothecary’s shops.
Another illustration can be seen in the instance of fast nutrient eating houses turn uping near gas Stationss. Drive through any town or metropolis on a major roadway and you will probably happen a gas station located by a fast nutrient eating house. Both concerns operate for people go throughing through. Locating beside or at least near on another aid to capitalise on traffic generated by the other without viing, both concerns are likely to be visited by the same individual or vehicle because when going less Michigans is better.
3. By and large, I think that houses that cluster together experience more competition and may see lower monetary values. If a house chooses non to take down its monetary values in the name of competition so they will necessitate to add excess services so that people can warrant paying more for a merchandise. In either instance concerns will hold to be competitory in order to maintain clients and derive new 1s. Agglomeration says that the concerns benefit from being around each other ; profit frequently taking to an increased net income. This is non true in the instance of clustered concerns that are non portion of an agglomerative economic system. A concern that has to take down monetary values or add excess services will probably be taking a net income cut.
4. I think that there a figure different grounds why concerns bunch. One ground for concerns to bunch is because their clients will be in that country. For illustration, in my 2nd illustration above sing the clustered eating houses, I think that they are clustered at that place because of the shopping in the country. Once people are ready to take a interruption from shopping there is a high likeliness that they will travel out for a repast. Locating near shopping brings those people | <urn:uuid:ed87c809-99b2-41f4-bb50-2a5296e697ac> | 512 | 23 |
Evaluation is a vital task of an eLearning course or any program that aims at continuous improvement. Evaluation of your eLearning program is the final step in the Addie model. In this step, the effectiveness of the training program in accomplishing the goal is measured
Evaluation enables us to:
- Assess if the instructional and development objectives are met
- Determine the quality of the eLearning
- Understand the pros and cons of the eLearning program
- Make improvements to ensure that learning strategies are effective
Donald Kirkpatrick’s four-level model of evaluation has become a classic model in the industry. These levels can be applied to eLearning or any other forms of training.
|Level||Meaning||Questions to ask||Evaluating Method|
|Reactions||Evaluate the experience of the learners after taking the course||Feedback from the participants through a smile sheets or happy sheets|
|Learning outcomes||Measure of the increase in knowledge of the learners after taking up the course||Did the participants learn what they were supposed to learn and how much?||Assessments to measure knowledge|
(true/ false, agree/ disagree)
|Behavioral Changes||Evaluate the change in the behavior of the learners after taking the course||Did they change their on-the-job behavior?|
|Results for the organization||Evaluate the change in the organization due to the effect of the course on their employees||Did their knowledge and behavior positively affect the organization?||See the production, quality, costs, turnover|
This evaluation is applicable to different types of training (adapted from Kruse Kevin work) such as:
- Safety training: Measure reduction in number or severity of accidents

Formaldehyde, a colorless gas, has a special irritating odor and is easily soluble in water. It has irritating effects on people’s eyes and nose. It also poses a cancer risk to the human body in excess of a certain concentration. This is a problem that cannot be solved for every decoration family. Formaldehyde also has a variety of hazards. Exposure to different concentrations, different times, and hazards are also important:
Lesser hazards: Allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, tears, throat discomfort or pain, asthma, redness of the skin, etc.
Heavier hazards: Carcinogenic, nasopharyngeal, colon, and brain tumors. It can also cause fetal malformation or even stop development.
First of all, we should know where the decoration formaldehyde pollution comes from. There are several materials would release formaldehyde, such as Glass cement, wooden floor, Wood furniture or cabinets, Floor adhesive, Latex paints and other coatings, Wallpaper and Textile.
As we know there are so many materials would release the formaldehyde, so how can we avoid the damage of formaldehyde pollution?
Apart from maintaining good living habits and adopting some daily air clean assistive measures (including air purifiers), the most important thing is to do preventive work during the renovation and renovation, and control the toxic chemical pollutants within the scope of conformity to ensure the indoor air quality passes.
1, Make environmental protection pre-evaluation before decoration
Decoration pollution is caused by non-environmental materials, but even with environmentally friendly products, decoration may not be able to sit back and relax. Even if individual inspections of building materials are in line with national environmental standards, the use of too much, the quantity has become a qualitative change; it may also exceed indoor air pollutants. If designing, according to the area of the housing to consider the best use of the material, projected environmental protection index, you can effectively prevent the use of materials due to unreasonable decoration pollution caused.
2, choose the formal environmental protection material
When purchasing furniture, paints, plates, and glues, pay attention to their environmental protection and try to select environmentally-friendly materials. If | <urn:uuid:18375993-a5d1-4fa1-bdda-b063850e8c0d> | 512 | 0 |
Formaldehyde, a colorless gas, has a special irritating odor and is [...] you need to use a large number of plates in interior decoration, you should try to choose the E1 and E0 environmental protection plates produced by the regular manufacturers; the best coating depends on whether there is an authoritative test report issued by the country, and the formaldehyde purification rate and purification durability are two indicators have to consider.
3, Using different materials
When selecting a decoration design, a single material cannot be used excessively. It is best to use materials such as wood, stone, glass, and iron. Because different materials contain different contaminants, if a single material is used too much, even if the product is qualified, the total amount adds up. The total amount of such contaminants contained in the material is relatively easy to exceed the standard.
Therefore, try not to place large-size or large-area furniture in a small space, and not to choose the same furniture as the floor material, especially for families that have paved composite floors and other artificial floors.
4, Live in when air reaches standard and keep ventilation
General new house decoration pollutant content will be relatively high when just finished, ventilation for some time, it is best to go through the air testing of professional agencies, do photocatalyst in addition to formaldehyde treatment, indoor air quality standards can only stay. For a simple renovation or renovation, we must pay attention to more windows and air convection. Clothes stored in newly-renovated furniture should always be taken out for drying, so as to prevent households from having toxic substances that are volatilized and adsorbed on clothes, causing damage to the body.
5, Using an air purifier
Air purifier can absorb, purify or convert various air pollutants (generally including PM2.5, dust, pollen, odor, decoration pollution such as formaldehyde, bacteria, allergens, etc.), and effectively improve air cleanliness.

Learning to write is a tricky one. Young learners start school with little to no sound letter knowledge, not much of an understanding of key writing concepts and a limited view about the purpose of written text. My question is: Where do we start when teaching students how to write?
From observations I’ve made, when many educators are teaching writing to first-time learners, they focus on getting them to name and form letters correctly. Until these skills are acquired, there is little to no focus on the purpose of writing. In this school of thought, there is a belief that new writers aren’t capable of expressing an idea through text until they know how to write words and represent sounds correctly. As a result, a line of “scribble” underneath a picture is not as valued as a word that is clearly printed and legible. This is because the letter formation is privileged as the learning outcome over and above the student making a connection between the written word and an image.
As I write this I am listening to my son babble. I make eye contact with him and imitate his sounds – this is our way of communicating. He can’t say any words yet, but in his own way he is speaking to me. In amongst our babbling, I say some real words as I am confident that in time he will begin to learn how to speak our language.
I believe that written language should be learned in a similar way to spoken language. I think that students should be experimenting with writing texts as soon as they can hold a pencil. Don’t get me wrong, I think that it is important that they learn about the mechanics of writing, such as using the different letters of the alphabet and using capital letters. But they should be writing in meaningful contexts just like my son does with his speech. They should be using print and pictures to express their ideas. I am of the opinion that there is only a purpose to the mechanics of writing when opportunities are given for these mechanical elements to make meaning. For example, a beautifully formed letter doesn’t mean anything without a context in which it is being used. Basically, I believe that when teaching students how to write a holistic approach should be taken so that meaning and mechanics are brought together.
In my Teachers Pay Teachers store I have some ‘learning to write’ resoures. I have developed some Letter Formation Task Cards that encourage kids to practise forming letters in fun ways. | <urn:uuid:ea7ed268-0e88-4c41-a037-c251cc312cb6> | 512 | 0 |

Opinions occupy an interesting place in our mental repertoire. [Or pantry. Other stuff to look at is “convictions”, “conclusions” (things that close something), “leanings” and “prejudices”.]
Opinions are not “truths”, not “facts” — those elements have a different taste and weight — but rather a way of positioning ourselves. Opinions represent a maneuver, more or less war-like.
Think of the classical tale about the elephant and blind men. Each of them stand in a different relation to the animal, thus “see” different sides of it, which they take for the whole.
Blind men can be excused for misunderstanding the animal thus.
It is a different case with people with eyesight who still choose to view the elephant, the world, other people, phenomena, situations, from one specific angle — without bothering to or even refusing to move around. Thus not seeing that identity depends on angle.
Some people are probably totally convinced of their opinions, but many of us, if we practice inlook (introspection), can see that this is more of a game, a “truth-contest”, a trial of strength, a showdown.
An important step towards clear-thinking is separation of opinion from “fact” or “truth”, seeing that holding (holding on to) an opinion has very little to do with thinking.
Opinions have a Martian, fighting element, but also an element (perhaps Lunar) of emotional security and safety. They can be like soft pillows, giving us a sense of warmth in an unkind, competitive world.
Mars and Moon seem to go well together: Barricading yourself in one corner of town, or in one square, armed and prepared to defend that corner with all your might, DOES confer a sense of wild and homely security. “At least we have a corner…!”
If you are actually attacked, this is somewhat understandable. But if you aren’t (and we often fool ourselves in this respect), if you just imagine that you are attacked while actually YOU are the attacker, we have a different situation.
Just defending what we already have does not lead forward. We are moving not weiter but rückwärts.

Study of Military History (Term Paper Sample)
Using the attached material answer the following question. As a Senior Warrant Officer, why do you feel it is important to study Military History? Your response should be 3 to 4 paragraphs, 300 to 600 words, and should demonstrate both mature introspection and learning. See attachments. source..
STUDY OF MILITARY HISTORY Student's Name: Professor's Name: Course Title: Institution: Date: Importance of Studying History as a Senior Warrant Officer A Senior Warrant Officer (SWO) represents a leadership position in military ranks. As a leader, a Senior Warrant Officer needs to study military history in breadth, depth, and context. The importance of studying military history in breadth, depth, and context cannot be overemphasized, especially in modern times. Military history always serves as a starting point for military leaders who happen to be at the core of decision-making (Gustavson, 1955). The study of history has been known to influence the formation of critical theories of action and solution. The formation of theories then leads to the formation of important reference doctrines. These doctrines, in turn, stimulate transformation which then demands invention. Lastly, invention when applied to revolution in military affairs causes historic effects. As a leader, it is important to understand what things will work under certain conditions and which ones will not work. This can prove useful in wars where absolute judgment and action is required. The study of military history guides the way future military guidelines ar...

Land Scaping: Grass that Stays Green, Even When Mother Nature Goes Dry... ARA Content
(ARA) - Up to 80 percent of water used around the home during the summer is for outdoor use -- primarily to irrigate gardens and lawns. To keep lawns green and lush during the long, hot summer, most people pull out the hoses, turn on the sprinklers and pour on the water. Household water consumption has increased drastically in the past 30 years, and the combination of increased water demands, rising water bills and drought-induced watering restrictions has prompted many homeowners to rethink their approach to lawn care.
But there's an easy and permanent solution to this problem. Instead of being held hostage by Mother Nature or the local water utility, many homeowners are replacing thirstier grasses with water-thrifty zoysia grass. Zoysia's vigorous root system is so deep and extensive the grass rarely, if ever, needs watering. In fact, Zoysia Farm Nurseries' grass (product name Amazoy) requires up to 80 percent less water than other grasses.
Zoysia is a durable, spreading turf grass that grows into a permanent, perennial lawn that also naturally resists insects and diseases, and it doesn't require chemical-heavy weed killers or heavy doses of fertilizer.
Unlike other grasses grown from seed or installed as sod, Amazoy is sold as individual starter plants, or plugs, that can be planted into bare ground or bare sections in existing lawns. Amazoy zoysia grass plugs quickly send out roots and sprouts from which new plants take root. The densely growing zoysia grass spreads outward, choking out all other growth -- including crabgrass and other summer weeds.
Within two to three growing seasons, in most climates, the grass plugs will spread to completely cover the lawn area. And because zoysia grass actually prefers summer heat, it doesn't need gallons and gallons of supplemental water during the warmer months to keep it healthy and green. The result is a durable lawn that can stand up to playground punishment, animal waste, summer heat and drought, while still looking green and feeling plush.
Zoysia also needs no care or maintenance during the | <urn:uuid:e201833c-1d81-4206-9853-17756b464910> | 512 | 0 |
The video message from Japan’s 82-year-old Emperor Akihito released Monday, indicating his desire to abdicate, raises a host of legal issues, including how the Constitution defines the emperor and how to revise the Imperial House Law.
The law, which sets out rules for imperial affairs, including the line of succession, has no provision for abdication. To make abdication possible, a revision of the law or enactment of an ad hoc law would be required.
Imperial succession takes place upon the demise of an emperor, as stated in Article 4 of the existing law, enacted in 1947. The last emperor to abdicate was Emperor Kokaku in 1817.
The law also stipulates that a regent shall be established in the event that “the Emperor is affected with a serious disease, mentally or physically, or there is a serious hindrance and is unable to perform his acts in matters of state.”
Looking at how the emperor is described in Japan’s postwar Constitution, Article 1 states the emperor is the “symbol of the State and of the unity of the People, deriving his position from the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power.”
A provision on abdication that relied on the emperor’s desire would be inconsistent with the emperor’s role as defined in the supreme law.
Any potential change to the emperor’s role would make his status as a symbol of the state uncertain and mark a change to the current imperial system, sources privy to the matter said.
Another contentious point relates to Article 4, which states that the emperor “shall perform only such acts in matters of state as are provided for in this Constitution and he shall not have powers related to government.”
If the government complied with the emperor’s desire by taking steps for legal changes to enable abdication, the move could be viewed as political involvement on the part of the emperor, in violation of the Constitution, government sources said.
The government has responded in parliament that if an emperor is allowed to abdicate, there would be “a retired emperor” and such a situation could prove harmful. The government has said a situation could also arise in which an emperor is forced to step down against his wishes.
If the Imperial House Law was made subject to amendment, it could also reignite | <urn:uuid:50a054cc-5a42-4a99-9108-38da83537013> | 512 | 0 |
Isn’t Where the House Is: Whitman’s Camden Exile
From the homes and apartments in Edith Wharton’s House of Mirth to the mansions of The Great Gatsby to the Joad family’s farmhouse in The Grapes of Wrath to Toni Morrison’s “spiteful” 124 in Beloved, houses often provide the catalyst for action or the symbolic backbone of novels in American literature, particularly when characters feel exiled from the structures that they have considered their homes. In poetry, Sylvia Plath and Robert Frost often use the idea of home to explore domestic depression, describing places that have become uncomfortable because of marital trauma or death.
the Civil War, Walt Whitman’s life was filled
with a large amount of domestic trauma and ill health. In
an effort to recover from the many shocks he suffered, Whitman
Pinning down Whitman’s idea of ‘home’ is tricky, however, since the bulk of his poetry praises the outdoors, people, ideas, and intimate experiences. Very little poetry discusses a clear idea of home or even the structure of houses. In the few cases that Whitman mentions a house, it is usually in the context of an upper-class life, as in the opening lines of “Song of Myself”: “Houses and rooms are full of perfumes” (LG 27). Whitman, who loved the pure smells of the body, sees perfumes as a veiling of human experience. The pure fragrances of the skin, the hair, the sweat are blocked by artificially created scents that would speak to an upper-class desire for what one could call ‘hygienic decorum.’ Later on, the lady who “owns the fine house” watches twenty-eight young men on the shore and is unable to frolic with the working-class bathers due to gender constraints and class differences (LG 32).
On the other hand, in “My Picture-Gallery” Whitman’s mind is a “little house” where he keeps “the tableaus of life” and “the groupings of death” (524). Essentially, Whitman’s memory is his home, not really a house, since it retains experiences instead of veiling them. “There Was a Child Went | <urn:uuid:74ace04a-7db0-4a0b-921d-bd4e28e285cc> | 512 | 0 |
