Chaos is...revealing

Toni Morrison is known for her poetic prose, thrown together in a seemingly chaotic but brilliantly cohesive manner. Beloved is a prime example of this style, as it skips seamlessly from one time and voice to the next. This flowing chaos is particularity apparent in the voice of Beloved. Both her reflection chapter and her other interactions with characters, are confusing and chaotic to an extreme. The majority of her sentences are not sentences at all but rather fragments pieced together in a jumbled mess. Morrison uses this style not to confuse the reader but rather give him insight into the lives of Beloved and her family. It also gives her novel a distinct look and feel characteristic only of Morrison herself. I adore Morrison’s style and wish I could mirror it in my own writing, incorporating the chaos to build a bigger and more beautiful picture.

Last Dragon Standing - G. A. Aiken How weird that the series is totally changing itself from smutty dragon humor/romance into a serious story about a war and internal conflicts between kingdoms and prophetic twin children. I hardly laugh in this book but it compensate with the drama and the politics around the Rhiannon's and Annwyll's thrones. Its a proper war book with all the blood and violence. The past character was prominent in this books without overwhelming the book's main character; Keita, her majesty spy, and Ragnar, the northland warlord who was helping the southland queen to retrieve her daughter and son.The book began 2 years after the last book which ends with Ragnar (who had kidnapped Keita) who went to the dragon queen for an alliance and end up with his warlord father killed by Izzy and Talith. And Keita who went to a mountain to study the warrior ways after being kidnapped by Ragnar's father and by Ragnar himself which she drove her spike-tail into his chest after he let her go. 2 years later, Ragnar with his brother, cousin and Éibhear went to a castle to find Keita on an executioner board lamenting her innocence of the death of a lord (which is very funny btw) and the Ragnar find it weird to have her, a dragoness, making excuses when she could have just shift into a dragon and fly away. A family reunion and a heated argument and a foreign dragon who came to her rescue later, they went away to the kingdom of Annwyll the Bloody where they encountered even more siblings drama, distrust, occasional bone breaking and mini war etc.I really enjoyed this book. I always like the complex characters who evolved since the first book. Compared to the first three books, GA Aiken tried so hard to make in funny and compelling as erotica but in this one, it was a proper fantasy than a romance.


Remote Management

Course Duration: Half A Day

Leading remote or virtual teams is similar to managing regular teams, but requires greater emphasis on building trust and confidence, communication, performance management, and effective use of technology.

Being responsible for the performance of remote teams, a Leader needs to understand what makes remote teams different and how to apply best practice in ‘leading from a distance’.

When you have attended this course you walk away feeling inspired to put the appropriate actions into place to support your remote team, making them feel trusted and valued and ultimately achieving a high performance.

During this course you will…

  • Explain the challenges of remote management and identify ways to overcome them.
  • Identify the key things that managers and leaders need to know about remote teams in order to become truly effective.
  • Understand the heightened significance of trust in remote relationships and identify ways to build trust whilst avoiding over-bearing check-ups on people or out of sight, out of mind thinking.
  • Understand the importance of prompt; regular and purposeful communication and develop a plan of how you will place greater emphasis on it, using various modes of communication.

Population is defined as all nationals present in, or temporarily absent from a country, and aliens permanently settled in a country. This indicator shows the number of people that usually live in an area. Growth rates are the annual changes in population resulting from births, deaths and net migration during the year. Total population includes the following: national armed forces stationed abroad; merchant seamen at sea; diplomatic personnel located abroad; civilian aliens resident in the country; displaced persons resident in the country. However, it excludes the following: foreign armed forces stationed in the country; foreign diplomatic personnel located in the country; civilian aliens temporarily in the country. Population projections are a common demographic tool. They provide a basis for other statistical projections, helping governments in their decision making. This indicator is measured in terms of annual growth rate and in thousands of people.

Florence, Italy In A Nutshell

October 16th, 2017
Author: Rocky Ruggiero, Ph.D.
Rocky Ruggiero gives us an overview of Florence and its historical and artistic significance.

From a historical perspective, Florence is a city that is relatively easy to digest. As opposed to a city like Rome whose history spans more than two millennia, Florence’s critical history can be approximated to the two centuries that fall between the years 1300 and 1500CE. Nearly all of the city’s “rock-star”, celebrity artists were active during these two centuries. From Medieval artists such as Cimabue, Dante, Giotto, Boccaccio, and Petrarch active in the fourteenth century, through the Renaissance giants Donatello, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and climaxing with Leonardo and Michelangelo in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the level of artistic production in Florence during these two centuries is unprecedented and unparalleled in history.

Beyond its artistic importance, Florence’s political reality was also exceptional, as it was also one of Europe’s few medieval republics. A quick survey of Christian Europe’s political regimes in the fourteenth century – England/king, France/king, Germany/Holy Roman Emperor, what little Christian Spain remained/king, Central Italy/pope, southern Italy and major Italian islands/king – reveals that monarchical government was the norm, and democracy the exception. In fact, the medieval republics of Europe could be counted upon one hand, and they were all in Italy – Florence, Siena, Lucca, Genoa and the longest-lasting republic of all time, Venice. As opposed to the European monarchies where a majority of artistic production was directed towards glorifying individual rulers and their families, much of the art and architecture of these republics was communal, that is, created and paid for by the people. And although few have ever “willingly” paid taxes, it was ennobling to see public funds employed in order to celebrate the populace. In Florence alone, late thirteenth-century buildings such as the Basilica of Santa Croce, which is the world’s largest Franciscan church; Florence cathedral, which for two centuries was the world’s largest church (presently the third largest); Palazzo Vecchio (or della Signoria as it was originally called) the imposing seminal political structure that has served as Florence’s town hall for the past seven centuries; and the church and convent of Santa Maria Novella, which is one of the world’s largest Dominican complexes, were all constructed with communal funding.

            Where did the money come from? By 1300AD, Florence was home to Europe’s second wealthiest economy after Venice. The medieval Venetian economy was based strictly on trade, as the maritime republic enjoyed exclusive trading rights throughout the Byzantine Empire. This privileged role, which was the equivalent of country today having exclusive trading rights with China, made Venice immeasurably wealthy. Florence instead accumulated its significant wealth through both a trade and manufacturing economy. A nearly Silicon-Valley-like phenomenon occurred in Florence in the thirteenth century with the development of a wool textile production and distribution industry. Raw wool was imported from all over Europe in order to be refined in the city, and then sold through a distribution network that encompassed most of the Mediterranean world. Furthermore, Florentine wool was the best that money could buy.

In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, business was booming in Florence. One of the many spin-offs of the wool industry was banking. Florentine banks were known as the “fifth element.” Wherever one could find the other four – earth, water, fire and air – one could find a Florentine bank. Much like American Express offices in the twentieth century, Florentine banks offered international merchants the security of not traveling with cash. With the immense capital acquired by these banks through exchange commissions, they could also then lend money on an average interest rate of 25%. Although such rates would be considered usury today, the returns on investments in the medieval world could be as high as 100%.

This wealth brought with it a demographic boom. By 1300, Florence was the fourth largest city in Europe after Paris, Venice, and Milan, with a population of between 100,000 and 120,000 people. As early as the eleventh century, both noble and peasant inhabitants of the contado (as the countryside around cities was known) were migrating to urban centers in order to claim a stake in what has been dubbed the “commercial revolution” of the Middle Ages. This economic and demographic explosion laid fertile ground for the rebirth of classical culture and civilization, or, as we call it today – the Renaissance.


Architectural Based Security (ABS) is the Science of Fortifying Properties

ABS protects occupants the same way safes protect valuables. In addition to the fortification of a safe, ABS accommodates the human condition which requires considerations such as air quality, situational awareness and others depending upon the extent of protection required. In addition to protection, advanced ABS systems provide a level of control and convenience far beyond those of traditional home automation systems. SAFE's president, Al V. Corbi, founded the concept of Architectural Based Security while in college, advanced ABS' theories during his 23-year career with the U.S. Department of Justice and has perfected ABS' capabilities throughout its 47-years of development- and the resulting science is impressive. Today's advanced technologies coupled with SAFE's intellectual property have recently produced a private ABS protective environment that is grand in scale, aesthetically magnificent and capable of protecting against any and all natural and man-made threats. This world-class residence is capable of protecting its occupants in abject comfort for 30+ years, completely independent from the rest of society. It is this extreme degree of protection and Peace of Mind that has made ABS a staple in the planning and construction of important residential structures globally.

Another very important aspect of ABS is its scalability. The principles of ABS have been applied to traditional homes as successfully as those protecting heads of state and captains of industry. See:

This was a test study in which Oprah Winfry budgeted $1,500 for a SAFE ABS system and SAFE was able to provide that system for $1,300.

From burglary level protection to Beyond Bond, ABS is the most effective and essential component in an overall security plan.

The following is a historic overview of the evolution of Architectural Based Security from its early origins to today's perfected systems.

SHELTER - 35,000 years ago

STEP 1-  The earliest known cave paintings are at least 35,000 years old providing a good indication of when man started to rely on protective "hardened" shelters.

HARDENING - 8,000 years ago

STEP 2-  Hardening evolved over the next 30,000 years through to the Mesopotamians who built the earliest pyramidal structures, called ziggurats, in ancient times. The most famous pyramids are the Egyptians- some of which are among the world's largest constructions and endure to this day as examples of advanced hardening techniques.

PERIMETER PROTECTION - 4,000 years ago

STEP 3-  Moats are ditches filled with water, that surround castles, fortification, building or town, historically to provide a preliminary line of defense.  Some of the earliest evidence of moats has been uncovered around ancient Egyptian castles. Great Britain is replete to this day with examples of the effectiveness of well thought out perimeter protection.

Modern Day Contributions

STEP 4- While hidden passageways are as old as the first caves and have been refined throughout time, it is their modern-day marvels of craftsmanship and ingenuity that form an important part of today's advanced protective systems.

STEP 5- The first CCTV system was installed by Siemens AG in Nazi Germany in 1942, for observing the launch of V-2 rockets. In the U.S. the first commercial closed-circuit television system became available in 1949, called Vericon. And while access control and many other electronic components in today's security systems do not share the same documented origins as the first CCTV camera system, they are all less than 100-years old.

STEP 6- There are thousands of tactical responses available and practical for residential security, both offensive and defensive. The goal is to pair the proper level of reponse with the threat in order to neutralize the threat- no more and no less.

STEP 7- The advent of the cell phones ushered-in the ability to communicate with and assist in the protection of loved-ones and property in real-time regardless of the Client's global position. This has been a quantum leap for protective systems.

STEP 8- Touch pads provided the necessary additional surface area needed to review and interact with site and floor plans.

STEP 9- SAFE is an expert at designing advanced protection systems and the management of their implementations. SAFE is a master integrator. By combining the essential 8-components of a fully integrated security solutions:

-Shelter Design

-Perimeter Detection/Protection

-Hidden Passages/Mantraps

-Surveillance & Access Control

-Tactical Response

SAFE provides advanced protection with little if any sign of its existence which is a critical factor for both aesthetics and security considerations.


Signs and Symptoms of Adult Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors

General symptoms

Tumors in any part of the brain might increase the pressure inside the skull (known as intracranial pressure). This can be caused by growth of the tumor itself, swelling in the brain, or blockage of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Increased pressure can lead to general symptoms such as:

  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Blurred vision
  • Balance problems
  • Personality or behavior changes
  • Seizures
  • Drowsiness or even coma

Symptoms of tumors in different parts of the central nervous system

  • If the tumor is in the cerebellum (the lower, back part of the brain that controls coordination), a person might have trouble walking, trouble with precise movements of hands, arms, feet, and legs, problems swallowing or synchronizing eye movements, and changes in speech rhythm.
  • Tumors in or near other cranial nerves might lead to hearing loss (in one or both ears), balance problems, weakness of some facial muscles, facial numbness or pain, or trouble swallowing.

The brain also controls functions of some other organs, including hormone production, so brain tumors can also cause many other symptoms not listed here.

Having one or more of the symptoms above does not necessarily mean that you have a brain or spinal cord tumor. All of these symptoms can have other causes. Still, if you have any of these symptoms, especially if they don’t go away or get worse over time, see your doctor so the cause can be found and treated, if needed.

Often mistaken for the country’s capital city, Auckland is an energised hub of activity on New Zealand’s North Island. Relocating to Auckland for work provides the opportunity to thrive in the city, but it’s not without its cons.

The outdoors
Auckland is home to a number of beaches and parklands which means getting active outdoors is easy. The city is also linked via ferry to a number of islands in the harbour, each offering another side of New Zealand culture.

Less crowded
Compare to other major cities around the world, Auckland is not very crowded or busy. During peak hours, traffic on the roads will increase, as well the number of pedestrians on the footpaths, but it’s significantly less busy than peak hour in cities such as London and New York.

As a result of the population being low and the city being quiet, Auckland is a very clean city.

Despite Auckland being the largest city in New Zealand, it is still a very safe city to live. One of the challenges to safety the city experiences is natural disasters like earthquakes. Building regulations protect the city from damage caused by quakes.

Slow pace of life
If you prefer a slower pace of life, but you’re not quite ready to give the city up, Auckland is the place for you. Located by the harbour, the city offers plenty of escape routes from the heart of the city.

Housing costs
House prices in Auckland are ranked among the highest in the world with the average resident forking out more than $900,000 for a house. Demand for supply has also increased in the past few years, suggesting prices won’t be falling any time soon.

Although New Zealand is one of the most scenic countries in the world, Auckland’s location is quite far from any other major city in the world, except of course those in Australia. Long and expensive flights connect Auckland to other major cities in Europe and the United States.

You’ll need a car
Many places just outside of Auckland’s CBD are too far apart to access by walking or on public transport and require a car to access.

Less competition
Due to the smaller population size, there are less career prospects within the city. There are also fewer large businesses to provide the challenges and competition within industry markets than larger cities provide.

Now that you’re ready to relocate to Auckland, it’s time to speak to your Grace Mobility Specialist. Grace is dedicated to developing your relocation program and delivering an outstanding service.


What Time Of Year Is Best For A Norfolk Broads Holiday

At this time of year as though we may never see summer again, but it won't be too long until the sun starts shining and we'll be able to enjoy blue skies and warmer weather once more. Summer isn't the only time you can go on a Norfolk Broads holiday of course, but taking to the Broads by boat in the deep midwinter isn't exactly advisable.

Instead, we're going to talk you though the difference types of holiday or day trips offered by Herbert Woods, to give you an idea of the benefits of each and how the time of year you go can make a difference.

Hiring Cruisers

Hire Cruiser

Herbert Woods cruisers are unavailable to hire during December and January, but for the rest of the year, you can have your pick of our boats - providing you book early enough! There are a great way to see a lot of the Broads in a relatively short amount of time. You'll be able to travel all over, mooring up in one of the many free places provided by The Broads Authority, or for a small fee, at one of the private moorings available.

The best time of year depends what sort of trip you're looking for. Spring time is beautiful on the Broads, but there is the chance you'll experience wetter weather, while summer is lovely and the weather will hopefully be much better.

In summer the Broads are busier, which can be both a pro and a con. If you're a beginner, you might be more comfortable going earlier in the year when it's less busy so you'll be able to get used to handling the boat without the crowds. It doesn't take long to pick up though, and in the busier season you're more likely to meet like - minded individuals and maybe even make friends for life.

Renting a cottage

Hiring a cruiser isn't the only way you can enjoy a Norfolk Broads Holiday. Our cottages are based on the banks on the River Thurne and within the Broads Haven Marina, and can be a great base for your adventure. From our centre in Potter Heigham you'll be able to easily travel north or east to the beautiful Norfolk coast, west to Norwich and south to Suffolk, and everywhere in between.

With plenty of walks and activities to do throughout the year, there really isn't a bad time to come and stay in one of our lovely cottages. A benefit during colder and wetter times is that if you don't fancy facing the elements you won't have to, but when it's looking brighter you could take out one of our boats for a day.

Day boat hire

There are three different season in which you can hire our day boats depending on the time of year you're visiting. They're the perfect way to explore a bit more on your Norfolk Broads holiday.

Low Season (1st February - 27th May; 1st -31st October)

Low season in the beginning of the year, or towards the end of the holiday season, will be much quieter. It's also the cheapest time of year to hire one of our boats. You might experience colder, wetter weather, but the low season runs right though until May 27th, so there's bound to be some sunny days in their somewhere. As you can book in advance, or, if the weather is a worry, book on the day.

Mid Season (6th June - 30th June; 5th-30th September)

Mid season is the best of both worlds. You are more likely to get good weather, but as this is still during term time, you'll find it is still not too busy on the water. Boats are hired out on the first come first served basis, so make sure you book in advance on weekends.

High Season (28th May - 5th June; 1st July - 4th September)

This is the peak period. School have broken up, so it's likely to be busier. There is always a reason that this time of year is going to be busy, and it is because it's the perfect way to spend a summer's day. You'll get some glorious summer days, so remember your sun cream, and a hat.

In Conclusion

Essentially, you can go on a Norfolk Broads holiday any time of the year, it's just the case of finding a balance between good weather and how busy the waterways are. If you prefer a quieter trip, you might need to compromise slightly on the weather, but if weather is the most important aspect for you then you'll be better booking a Norfolk Broads holiday in the summer months. Just contact us if you'd like any more information or guidance.

    Robarts Library

    130 St George St, Toronto, ON.
    constructed: 1970
    heritage recognition:

    “It evokes medieval castles, with its blank facades below and narrow slot windows above, and Gothic cathedrals, with its colonnades and echoing entrance halls. Then there are its whimsical geometric ornaments everywhere, triangles within triangles nested in triangles across the ceiling. There are grand, canted staircases, and vertiginous gaps between floors. It is a boldly aesthetic object that answered the university’s wish, in the late 1960s, for a gutsy building.”

    Alex Bozikovic, Reviving Fort Book, 2011

    As the main humanities and social sciences library of the University of Toronto, the complex was designed to address the baby boom generation and dramatic expansion of graduate-level research.  The John P. Robarts Research Library is a three-tower complex that includes the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library and what is now the Faculty of Information (Claude T. Bissell Building).  When completed in 1973, Robarts was the largest university library building in the world and the second largest university library collection in North America.  The concrete monolith, known as “Fort Book”, was once one of the most polarizing buildings in Toronto.  Today, it is recognized internationally as an exemplar of Brutalism within the Modern Movement.

    The Robarts Library was situated on a downtown city block bound by St. George St., Sussex Avenue, Huron St., and Harbord St., as part of the University of Toronto’s west campus.  The project was a joint venture between American architects Warner Burns Toan Lunde and Toronto architects Mathers and Haldenby.  The Toronto firm had completed a number of buildings for the University of Toronto, including the Sigmund Samuel Library.  Warner Burns Toan Lunde are known for major library buildings at Emory University, Princeton, Brown, and Oberlin College.

    The creation of a major humanities library for the University of Toronto arose from the 1959 McLaughlin report, which called for central library expansion of 20,225sq.m.  Further developments led to an announcement in 1965 by President Claude Bissell that the university’s centennial project would be a humanities and social sciences research library incorporating a library school, at a cost of $10 million.  By 1973 when the entire project was complete, the complex had grown to 14 stories above ground, an area of 96,200sq.m., and a cost of $42 million.

    Within a neighbourhood characterized by brick houses and mid-rise academic buildings, the library complex is comprised of three triangular forms: the 14 storey humanities and social sciences library, the 7 storey building to the north for the faculty of library sciences, and the 6 storey building to the south for rare books.  As David Langdon has observed, “It is impossible to ignore the many references to Kahn’s Yale University Art Gallery, which spectacularly embedded the purity of the triangular motif into concrete fifteen years earlier, and whose famous coffered ceiling finds itself directly quoted in the waffle-slab floors of Robarts.”

    The architects were particularly successful with the integration of buildings systems.  Structure, architecture, and comfort systems achieve a cohesion and synthesis that is still apparent today.  Inside and out, Robarts Library is characterized by the use of exposed poured-in-place and precast concrete.  Monumental stairs, multi-storied interior spaces, and vertical slit windows, contribute to a monumental and fortress-like character.  The Robarts Library is an extreme example of what is now termed Brutalism.  With its sense of permanence, the library could not be further from the transparency and delicacy of the steel and glass curtain wall buildings of the 1950s and 1960s.

    The library was named after John P. Robarts (1917-1982), the seventeenth Premier of Ontario and a companion of the Order of Canada.  It is also associated with Claude T. Bissell (1916-2000), the eighth president of the University of Toronto and a companion of the Order of Canada.  The north wing was renamed after Bissell in 1984.  The south wing has an association with Thomas Fisher (1792–1874) whose great-grandsons, Sidney and Charles Fisher, donated their own rare book collections to the library.

    The Robarts Library has been the subject of various rehabilitation projects, the most significant being the enclosure of the north and south porticos by Diamond Schmitt Architects in 2011.  Robarts Common, a major five-storey addition to the west, was designed by the same firm and it is scheduled to open in 2018.

    The library continues to be associated with its collections, as well as the research activities of past and present students and faculty members.

People v. Chapman

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. JAMES A. ZAFIRATOS, Judge, presiding.

The defendant, Henry Chapman, Jr., was charged by information with committing armed robbery at an ice cream shop in Forest Park, Illinois. Following trial by jury he was found guilty and sentenced to a term of 10 years. On appeal, the defendant contends that: (1) he was not identified as the offender beyond a reasonable doubt; (2) the State did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a gun was used in the commission of the offense; (3) the failure of the trial court to instruct the jury sua sponte on robbery constituted reversible error; (4) he was denied effective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to tender a jury instruction on the offense of robbery; and (5) he was deprived of his right to a fair trial by the prosecutor's improper remarks during closing argument.

Cathy E. Lauer testified that she was working at the Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Shop in Forest Park, Illinois on the afternoon of May 22, 1978. At approximately 1:50 p.m., the defendant entered the shop. The shop was well illuminated by fluorescent and natural light.

Lauer approached the defendant. She heard him mumbling. At first she did not understand what he was saying. After he repeated himself several times she realized that he was asking her to open the cash register. Lauer said "no" and told the defendant to go elsewhere. The defendant was fumbling with something under his shirt. He had his hand on an object which was bulging under the shirt.

The defendant glanced at what was under his shirt and then looked out the door. At first Lauer thought he was acting in an ordinary manner. Later she noticed that he began to get nervous. The defendant moved closer to the cash register. He said "open it." Lauer said she would have to "push something" to open it. The defendant told her to do so. Lauer saw a dark brown metal object inside the defendant's shirt. She thought the object was a gun.

The defendant was a foot and a half from Lauer. He told her that he was going to "count to three." The defendant moved closer to Lauer and his shirt opened. She saw the cylinder of a gun. The rest of the gun was covered by the defendant's hand. Lauer looked at the defendant, looked at the gun, then opened the cash register.

The defendant reached over the register with his left hand. With his right hand he "made a motion like he stuck the gun farther in" under his shirt. He then grabbed for the money in the register with his right hand. Lauer grabbed the defendant's arms and hollered for the manager. The defendant ran out the front door of the store with the money.

On cross-examination Lauer admitted that at the preliminary hearing she stated "he opens his shirt up and there at the cash register I see, I can't really see that good, but I saw something that was metal. I'm not positive of what it was, but I thought it was a gun. I believe it's a gun."

The manager of the shop, Mel Heroldt, testified that he and Cathy Lauer ran out the back door of the shop. He saw the defendant heading for a car parked behind the store. He yelled for the defendant to freeze. The defendant was sitting in his car. Heroldt went up to the side of the defendant's car.

The defendant told Heroldt that he had a wife and child. Heroldt responded that so did everyone else. The defendant handed the money to Heroldt and asked whether he could leave his car. Heroldt said that he could. The defendant got out of his car, picked up the hat he had dropped, entered his car and drove away.

Both Lauer and Heroldt described the defendant as being 6' 1" tall and weighing approximately 185 pounds. Both witnesses were able to identify the defendant's photograph from a group of photographs shown to them by the police on the day following the robbery. Lauer stated that she observed the defendant in the store for "three or four, maybe five" minutes during which time the defendant was 10 inches to 2 feet away from her. She also observed the defendant for 30 seconds outside the store. Heroldt stated that he observed the defendant between 45 and 75 seconds. Lauer and Heroldt identified the defendant at trial as the offender.

Heroldt told the police that the offender had been driving an old blue Buick and he gave them the license plate number. The police used this information to determine that the car was owned by the defendant.

The defendant testified that at the time of occurrence he was approximately 6' 1" tall and weighed about 157 pounds. At the time of the occurrence he wore heavy, bushy sideburns which extended nearly to his chin. He stated that his Buick was green, not blue. His car was stolen on May 21, 1978.

Who owns the truth?

Is it morally reprehensible for scientists to advocate or even communicate their work?

At the crux of this issue is the concept of truth.  Truth should not be confused with fact: as filmmaker Werner Herzog said, “fact creates norms, and truth illumination.”  Scientists seek truth, but can only provide the world with facts.  We have to believe that over time the facts science produces get closer and closer to the truth, because otherwise science itself would be moot.  The truth is as tantalizing as the limit of a curve approaching an asymptote: it will never be completely reached.

At any given time, what society believes to be “the truth” is really just an assemblage of facts that may or may not be hitting the mark.  Given that the truth is rather like a nebulous cloud of thoughts built on centuries of human consensus, it is an awfully powerful thing.

So why should scientists have the power to dictate “truth” for society?  They don’t.  There is nothing so special about scientists that make their ideas or knowledge more truthful than others’.  However, they may be better equipped to convey the facts that science produce, given that they understand them better than the average person.  The definition of a scientific law is “a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the world.”  At the time that it is made, no exception has been found to a law.  According to this definition, miracles cannot occur.  As a character in Christopher Paolini’s Eldest aptly states, “Many events have defied our ability to explain, but we are convinced that we failed because we are still woefully ignorant about the universe.”  That objectivity and truth are the scientific gold standards means scientists can communicate the most objective, truest truths to society.

Scientists advocating for certain actions or causes can be problematic when scientists’ opinions are 1) confused as facts or 2) elevated above others’.  However, these issues stem not from scientists themselves but from society’s perspective on scientists.  Scientists simply communicating their work can also be problematic because the emphasis the media places on different news items can give people a skewed version of what is considered valid or important in the scientific world.  When this happens, a few dissenting voices can sometimes even reduce the impact of a scientific consensus – as is the case with the public perception of a scientific “debate” on climate change, when in reality none exists.

To solve this, scientists, journalists, and the public must hold each other accountable.  The peer-reviewed system is designed so that scientists hold each other accountable every day and expect to be held accountable in turn.  Scientists should have the right to disseminate facts backed by repeated experimental evidence, and should feel obligated to do so, being better equipped for this task than most.  Ultimately, we must believe that as we collectively muddle our way on this journey towards truth, under the influence of the wisdom of the crowd, truth will out.

US to influence CEE nuclear power business

An official US delegation has undertaken a trade mission to the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, as it seeks to gain more influence in the building of new nuclear reactors in the region. The largest potential business opportunity for US firms in the region currently lies in the Czech Republic, EUObserver reports.

A state-owned Czech energy company, ČEZ, last year opened a public tender for the building of two nuclear units for the Temelin nuclear power plant.

In Poland, the US under-secretary of commerce for international trade, Francisco Sanchez, signed the Joint Declaration on Civil Nuclear Commercial Cooperation, which calls for the governments to cooperate on civil nuclear power. Poland plans to built its first nuclear power plant by 2020.

In Slovakia, Sánchez spoke about the importance of the energy business between the two countries. He said that ncreasing US exports of nuclear energy products would help Slovakia meet its goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help the US reach its goal of doubling exports.

Most expensive Tijeras neighborhoods

Tijeras profile

Living in Tijeras

Tijeras is a tiny village located in the state of New Mexico. With a population of 543 people and three constituent neighborhoods, Tijeras is the 103rd largest community in New Mexico.

Tijeras real estate is some of the most expensive in New Mexico, although Tijeras house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.

Overall, Tijeras is a village of sales and office workers, construction workers and builders, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Tijeras who work in sales jobs (15.38%), office and administrative support (13.08%), and management occupations (10.00%).

Tijeras is home to a number of people employed in the armed forces. When you visit or walk around Tijeras, some of the people you will bump into will be military people In and out of uniform, jogging, shopping and generally out and about town.

Because of many things, Tijeras is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Tijeras really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Tijeras perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

The village is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy.

Comparative Poetry Analysis

Kelsey Saniter Hour 1

The two poems"Ode to Enchanted light" and "Sleeping in the forest are similar ways but at the same time they have complete different meanings. Although both poems talk about how the forest is beautiful, one poem seems to talk about happiness and the other talks about death.

Overall I think that it was important for authors to use their style on their poem. Authors style gives the poem meaning and makes it unique. The message was shown in each poem using authors style. I think the message for "Ode to Enchanted Light" is to see the beauty in nature and be happy. The message for "Sleeping in the Forest" might be that you shouldn't feel sad when you are dying because you will end up somewhere better. I was able to tell this clearly by looking at authors style. That just goes to show that you can tell a lot from a poem by looking at authors style.


Greek Code of Conduct

In Odysseus's Time

Rule #1- You must be mentally and physically strong for success

DO- exercise your mind and body so you are well prepared for any task

Odysseus is smart as well as strong, making him seem god-like to average people

"you-least of all-I know- were born and reared without the god's good will" (133).

DO NOT- become lazy and allow yourself to be ignorant, or be caught off guard

One of Odysseus's men dies because he drinks too much wine and is not able to protect himself

"so I fell head first down from the roof... that and too much wine"(60).

Rule #2- You must be loyal to your comrades and nation

DO- go to war for your country

Odysseus goes to defend his town in the Trojan War, is seen as a war hero, shows that the Greeks valued people brave enough to fight for their country, which is what Odysseus did

"and much have I toiled in perils of waves and war"

DO NOT- leave a friend to die

Odysseus makes sure he goes back for his friend that fell off the roof after being told by this friend's shadow that their would be consequences if he did not go back. Shows that never leaving anyone behind was a prominent value.

Rule #3- You must obey the laws and customs of the Greek gods

DO- pay tribute to gods

Odysseus and his men burn animal skins to please the gods

DO NOT- disobey their commands, not follow their advice, or anger them

Odysseus angers Poseidon by stabbing the cyclopes' eye, and it prevents him and his men from getting home for a very long time

Rule #4- You must be good-hearted and kind

DO- be kind and merciful when possible

Odysseus is merciful towards the bard Phemius

He could've ended Phemius's life but chose to spare him out of mercy

DO NOT- consider yourself higher than others or look down on anyone

Telemachus talks down to the "beggar" not knowing it is his father. Odysseus blames himself for this saying that Telemachus growing up without a father resulted in him becoming arrogant. His obvious disproval of his son's behavior proves the Greek's value good-heartedness and not being unnecessarily rude.

Rule #5- You must welcome wandering heroes to all that you have

DO- prepare a feast for travelers

DO NOT- shut your doors and refuse to allow travelers access to your goods

Rule #6- You must not unnecessarily put innocent lives at risk

DO- think about the safety of others

Odysseus does not let his men eat the Lotus flowers because he knows it will make them never want to go home which shows that Odysseus is conscious about the safety of others. A good thing comes out of this because most of the men are able to continue the journey to get home and are not persuaded by the Lotus flower.

DO NOT- put your comrades in danger for personal needs

Odyssues does this when he insists on going into Polyphemus's cave, which turns out terribly for the group, showing unnecessary danger always results in casualties and fatalities for the Greeks


Laundry Use

All Residents,

There is only one washing machine, two dryers, and fifty residents, therefore, when using the laundry machines, please take out your finish laundry in order for the next occupant to use it. There have been several encounters of this situation, although, some seem to not care and consider this as not an issue, however, to others this is very frustrating.

I went down the hall to ask the residents if they had any complaints when using the laundry room. Here is a what few said:

“I had went to the laundry room last week and I saw that both dryers had clothes sitting in there, which didn’t bother me, since it takes 25 minutes to wash the clothes and so it should be gone by the time I come back. Right? I went back and expected the dryer to be free, but someone’s clothes was still in there!” -Resident A

“I always end up taking out someone’s clothes and leaving it on the table because they can’t come and take out their laundry. One girl got mad one time when she walked in like 20 minutes later and saw me doing that, but if she would’ve came for her laundry in time I wouldn’t be touching her clothes.” -Resident B

“Today I went to go wash my clothes, but the washer was occupied with 10 minutes left, so I decided to just sit there and wait. Ten minutes later, the machine stops. I continued to wait because I know the owner will maybe just take about an extra five minutes to come. Another 10 minutes passed, then next thing you know I was sitting here for 30 minutes and they still haven’t shown up.” -Resident C

“Just earlier I went to go wash my clothes and there was somebody else’s clothes in the washing machine and I knew exactly who it was because he always wash his clothes the same time I do. So I went knocking on his door and demanding him to take out his clothes. Every week he does this and I tell him every time to take out his clothes when he’s done, but he never does!” -Resident D

“Just a few days ago, I was doing laundry and in one of the dryer had somebody’s clothes in there. I thought they would’ve came for it, but after three hours no one came. You know how I know that? Because it took me almost three hours doing two loads of laundry using one washer and one dryer. Nobody came to picked up their clothes!” -Resident E

You can see the frustration in your fellow neighbors. Please be considerate of other residents who need to use the laundry machines also.

Thank You!


The 10 Happiest Cities In The World

What makes these cities’ residents happier than anywhere else?

The U.S. is a pretty unhappy place compared to Europe, Australia, and South America. That’s according to a survey of 10,000 people in 29 countries from market research company GfK Custom Research. Conducted in 2009, the Anholt-GfK Roper City Brands Index, claims that San Francisco is the only U.S. city to crack the list of the 10 happiest cities in the world. Who else came out on top, and why?

#1 Rio de Janeiro is at the top of the list for its many outdoor and cultural attractions, shopping centers (is that really a measure of happiness?), performances, and general amusement. #2 Sydney comes in second for many of the same reasons, and Barcelona rounds out the top three–mainly because of its extensive shopping. Rio and #3 Barcelona seem like traditional choices, but Sydney makes it because of its general Australia-ness, according to Simon Anholt, who conducted the survey. « It’s where everybody would like to go, » he told Forbes.

Everybody thinks they know Australia because they’ve seenCrocodile Dundee. There’s this image of this nation of people who basically sit around having barbecues.

#4 Amsterdam, #5 Melbourne, and #6 Madrid come in next. You’ll notice that Amsterdam seems to be there because of one reason: its « coffee shops, » which are not coffee shops, but rather marijuana dispensaries.

Oddly enough, #7 San Francisco also makes it onto the list largely because of its shopping centers. I can’t speak to this entire list, but as a resident, that’s probably the last thing I’d mention as a reason for the city’s overall happiness. Traditional picks–#8 Rome, #9 Paris, and #10 Buenos Aires–follow close behind.

The Anholt-GfK Roper City Brands Index is based on perception–that is, the world’s population perceives Rio as the happiest city. But there are objective factors we can take into account when looking at happy cities and countries. Last year, Columbia University’s Earth Institute released the first World Happiness Report, looking at happiness in the world and the science behind it. Some of the findings: Rich people are happier than poor people, but social supports and personal freedom matter; there’s a positive correlation between happiness and self-employment in the American and European data (but not in South America); mental health is the biggest contributor to happiness in all countries; and a lack of perceived equality cuts down on happiness.

Judge for yourself whether the cities on this list meet those criteria (or how much shopping they have). And if you want to zoom out a little and check out the world’s happiest countries, we’ve got a story on that too.

In research looking at how much babies around the world cry in their first three months, psychologists from Britain have created the first universal charts for normal amounts of crying during that period.

“Babies are already very different in how much they cry in the first weeks of life,” said Dieter Wolker, who led the study at Warwick University.

“We may learn more from looking at cultures where there is less crying — [including] whether this may be due to parenting or other factors relating to pregnancy experiences or genetics.”

The highest levels of colic — defined as crying more than three hours a day for at least three days a week — were found in babies in Britain, Canada and Italy, while the lowest colic rates were found in Denmark and Germany.

On average, the study found, babies cry for around two hours a day in the first two weeks. They then cry a little more in the following few weeks until they peak at around two hours 15 minutes a day at six weeks. This then reduces to an average of one hour 10 minutes by the time they are 12 weeks old.

But there are wide variations, with some babies crying as little as 30 minutes a day, and others more than five hours.

The research, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, was a meta-analysis of studies covering some 8,700 babies in countries including Germany, Denmark, Japan, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands and Britain.

Wolker said the new crying chart would help health workers reassure parents whether their baby is crying within a normal range in the first three months, or may need extra support.

Stressing Your Students is Ok! The application of the challenge point framework in medical education Guadagnoli M et al. Medical Education 2012; 46:447-453

Reviwed by Lavjay Butani

What is the focus of this paper?
This paper reviews the challenge point framework (CPF) model of learning (described by Guadagnoli and Lee in 2004). The examples focus on the learning of technical skills.

What is the Challenge Point Framework?
A paradoxical relationship sometimes exists between practice performance and real-life performance. For instance, sometimes there is a direct relationship between practice performance and real-life - or retention - performance. Sometimes, though, there is an inverse relationship between these two and poor performance during practice may actually translate into fine performance later on. The CPF model aims to explain and reconcile this paradox.

The more a learner is challenged during the learning phase, the lower his or her performance will be during the learning phase but the greater his or her performance will be during the retention phase - up to a point (the challenge point!). Further challenge will result in fine performance neither during the learning phase nor during the retention phase.

How can we structure practice to enhance learning?

  1. Provide frequent feedback for novices or for trainees learning a complex skill - but provide less frequent feedback for more experienced trainees so that they learn to rely upon themselves for feedback.
  2. Provide "blocked" practice for novices (repeating the same skill over and over) but "random" practice for more experienced trainees (practicing, say, three different skills in random order).
  3. Adjust task complexity based on learner competence - break complex tasks into simple steps for novice learners but add contextual interference (e.g. time constraints) for advanced learners.
  4. Modify the consequence of the task. Practice in a simulation lab for novices, but watch more experienced trainees deal with real patients.

What are the implications of this learning theory?
This paper calls us to get to 'know thy learner,' since the optimal level of 'challenge' is not a fixed entity based solely on the task; rather, it is determined by a complex interaction between the task and the learner. This article also reminds us that we need to be wary of gauging 'competence' in learners based on practice performance without assessing habitual 'real-life' performance in a deliberate manner.

Editor's note: The authors urge us to accept that "an appropriate degree of challenge will create some degree of failure. This appropriate failure during practice will yield success when it really counts during times of stress." They challenge us to create learning environments that are stressful enough - but not too much! - to optimize not practice success, but, instead, learning. Their examples relate to the learning of technical skills and some of this is more difficult to apply to the learning of histories, physical exams, communication skills, and diagnostic reasoning. But when I start two weeks of service as a hospital pediatrician tomorrow, I will nevertheless be thinking about creating learning environments that stress and challenge my trainees just enough!

What is parenting? Perfection vs. Flaws

What is parenting? Perfection vs. Flaws

Parenting is a significant matter. So, what is parenting? Child rearing or parenting is the process of supporting all aspects of kids’ life. These include physical, financial, social, intellectual, and emotional growth. Parents should support their kids from infancy to later life. Parenting also refers to the phases of raising a kid aside from the biological connection.

Biological parents become the most common warden in parenting. Others can also be the caretaker including family friends, family members, grandparents, legal guardians, etc. Not to mention the society and governments have a role in parenting as well. In some cases, abandoned or orphaned kids receive parental care from strangers.

Should Parents be perfect?

Other kids may be raised and adopted in an orphanage or foster care. The fact is that parenting skills vary. Those with good child rearing skills are called as good parents. The question is whether everyone should be perfect parents or not.

Most people feel depressed as they can do the best for their kids. They see their kids’ failure as theirs. This is a wrong assumption. There are no such perfect parents. The best thing to do is to accept the imperfections. That doesn’t mean they need to give up on trying to progress. Parents only need to accept that they aren’t good at several things.

Being depressed on themselves because of their flaws can prevent them from moving forward. Women or moms definitely have such kind of issue. The only solution is to accept the flaws in parenting.

So, what is parenting? It’s the way parents give the best for their kids. Just because they need to do the best, doesn’t mean they must be perfect. Being at peace with imperfections make them feel happier and more confident. Most people feel insecure about their parenting. Moreover, it bothered them so much.

Just Let It Go

Feeling discouraged and down isn’t a great thing. Here’s the fact, they must realize that perfect parenting isn’t going to be an option for them. They shouldn’t even worry about all those imperfections. That means they need to quit thinking about it. They will be busy raising your kids so that you shouldn’t think hard about perfection.

After all, dwelling on their imperfections kills all the fun of parenthood. Instead, they need to learn how to be effective parents gradually. Everything gets better as long as they involve love in parenting. They also need to focus on their strengths instead of weaknesses.

In summary, no one can be a perfect parent. Kids have weaknesses. So do parents. There’s no sense in feeling down about them. So, what is parenting? It’s the way how to fulfill kids’ necessities either in physical or psychological terms.

When it comes to imperfections in parenting, they need to let it go. They can’t master in the whole things, after all. What they can do is to focus on their strengths and build a better relationship with their kids. The fact is that improvement won’t happen if they feel depressed. On the other hand, they can be effective parents when they have some confidence and happiness

Discussing Lovecraft Deleuze tells us that

So the problem is not so much one of establishing a demarcation between the style and the content as a demarcation within the enunciation between horror and joy that leads to a one-sided depiction of Lovecraft’s work. Becoming an “entity” can be a process of horrific transformation and demolition but it can also be a luminous process of affirmation. Too many commentators  seem to focus on the horror as the “real” Lovecraft and forget the luminosity.

Trying to move beyond the traditional opposition between style and content, Deleuze and Guattari get a lot of mileage out of the distinction they make between the enunciation and the “enoncé”, the enounced sentence or proposition. This distinction need not be one of opposition, but can also be the basis of a composition. For example the act of desribing the indescribable in Lovecraft’s works leads to a richness of vocabulary in the enunciation that does not only compensate for the poverty of referential content but heightens its horrific affective impact.

Lovecraft does not write in hysterical identification with the horror he describes nor as a paranoiac expert in horror (or academic cosmic pessimist), but he is trying to transvaluate the horror just as Kafka transvaluates the Oedipal elements.

I have been trying to explore on my blog a notion uniting both science fiction and fantasy as the literature of noetic (and not just cognitive) estrangement. So in more familiar terms I think that Lovecraft is more a matter of the noetic “weird” than of affective horror.

Cell surface glycans, such as glycocoproteins and glycolipids, encode information that modulates interactions between cells, or between cells and the extracellular matrix, by specifically regulating the binding to cell surface-associated or soluble carbohydrate-binding receptors, such as lectins. Rapid modifications of exposed carbohydrate moieties by glycosidases and glycosyltransferases, and the equally dynamic patterns of expression of their receptors during early development, suggest that both play important roles during embryogenesis. Among a variety of biological roles, galectins have been proposed to mediate developmental processes, such as embryo implantation and myogenesis. However, the high functional "redundancy" of the galectin repertoire in mammals has hindered the rigorous characterization of their specific roles by gene knockout approaches in murine models. In recent years, the use of teleost fish as alternative models for addressing developmental questions in mammals has expanded dramatically, and we propose their use for the elucidation of biological roles of galectins in embryogenesis and innate immunity. All three major galectin types, proto, chimera, and tandem-repeat, are present in teleost fish, and phylogenetic topologies confirm the expected clustering with their mammalian orthologues. As a model organism, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) may help to overcome limitations imposed by the murine models because it offers substantial advantages: external fertilization, transparent embryos that develop rapidly in vitro, a diverse toolbox of established methods to manipulate early gene expression, a growing collection of mutations that affect early embryonic development, availability of cell lines, and most importantly, an apparently less diversified galectin repertoire.

There are many different types of Barb and Danio fish available for freshwater aquariums

The patterns of danio fishes comprise several different classes of pigment cells, or chromatophores, including: black melanophores, yellow or orange xanthophores, red erythrophores, and iridescent iridophores () (; ; ; ). This variety of cell types differs from birds and mammals, which exhibit just a single neural crest-derived pigment cell, the melanocyte. Also differing from amniotes is the fate of the pigment itself. Both chromatophores and melanocytes package their pigments within specialized organelles (melanosomes, in the case of melanin), but chromatophores retain their pigments whereas many melanocytes transfer their melanin to developing hair or feathers. Teleost pigment patterns thus reflect the spatial arrangements of the different chromatophore classes themselves, and the pigments serve as cell autonomous markers of their respective cell types. Interestingly, erythrophores are present in some but not all danio species and appear to have arisen or been lost independently across taxa (; ). The cell lineage relationships among different pigment cell classes are only poorly understood.

I've heard that neons with school with danios

It is never a good idea, however, to house only a couple of Danios with other types of fish If you're new to the aquarium hobby it's hard to think of any fish which could make a better choice for you than danios. Small, hardy, easy to care for, attractive to look at and always active, they're great pets, and they're not even very expensive. Fond of the upper levels of the aquarium which most other fish avoid, they fit in easily in community tanks and can make a superb addition to your aquarium.

Playful and highly sociable, danios are naturally happy in the aquarium environment, but they'll be at their happiest if you can supply them with strong currents, plants, and other items which give them things to do. Make sure they have plenty of space to move around.

They enjoy darting about and chasing each other, though never aggressively. Omnivorous by nature, they will eat almost any food, but you should make sure they get plenty of vegetable matter (in the form of flakes or algae discs) in order to be healthy, and they enjoy live food for treats.

Types of Danios
There are six types of danio commonly available:
Zebra Danios-With striking horizontal stripes, these active little fish make a handsome addition to any aquarium. They prefer relatively cool water and plenty of light.
Pearl Danios- These beautiful iridescent fish are highly adaptable but do need plenty of oxygen, so make sure your aquarium has good filtration.
Leopard Danios-These hardly little fish have a black spotted pattern all over their bodies. They sometimes interbreed with zebra danios.
Gold Danios- Highly active and fond of playing near the surface, these fish have golden-orange stripes running the length of their bodies. They are sometimes (incorrectly) called albinos.
Blue Danios-These fish have a mottled blue and white appearance and are believed to be descended from leopard danios.
Giant -Twice the size of other danios, these fish are happiest in large shoals, so they need a lot of space. They are also quite shy, so they won't give you as much to watch.

All About Aquarium Fish: Danio Fish Care & Breeding

The list of potential tankmates is endless, but some species that I have had success maintaining with are various medium-sized barbs (spp.), robust medium-sized tetras (spp., spp.), various loaches (sppspp.), corydoras catfish (spp.), small to medium-sized plecostomus (spp., spp.), and of course other similarly sized danios (spp.). can also be utilized as a dither fish for many types of smaller and less aggressive cichlids including kribensis ( spp.), keyhole cichlids (), and flag acaras ().

China Overview

  • Population: 1.3 billion
  • Currency: yuan
  • Internet users: 135 million
  • Number of chinese characters: over 56,000

Pan Ku

Pan Ku (also translated as Ban Gu), whose courtesy name is Mengjian, was a 1st century Chinese historian and poet best known for his part in the Book of Han. He also wrote the main poetic genre of the Han era, a kind of poetry interspersed with prose called fu.

What is the life story of Pan Ku?

In the 3rd century BC, Ban Gu's ancestors gained prominence on the northwestern frontier as herders of several thousand cattle, oxen, and horses, which they traded in a formidable business and encouraged other families to move to the frontier.

Ban Gu was born into a scholarly family, and his father, Ban Biao, was a prominent historian. He took over a responsibility to write a history of the former Han Dynasty, a book known in modern times as the Hanshu or Book of Han. However, from his father. His work was interrupted by political problems, as his association with the family of Empress Dowager Dou led to his imprisonment and death.A few volumes

Pan gu

of his book in eight chronological charts and astronomical biography, however, was completed by his younger sister, Ban Zhao, and became a model for many other works about later dynasties.

The modern historian Hsu Mei-ling states that Ban Gu's written work in geography set the trend for the establishment of geographical sections of history texts, and most likely sparked the trend of the gazetteer in ancient China.

Book of Han

How was the Book of Han finished?

The History of the Former Han Dynasty is a classical Chinese history finished in 111 CE, covering the history of China under the Western Han from 206 BCE to 25 CE. It is also sometimes called the Book of Former Han. Various scholars have estimated that the earliest material covered in the book dates back to between 206 and 202 BCE. The book also contains the first written historical mention of Japan.

This history developed from a continuation of Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian or, more correctly, Records of the Grand Scribe, initiated by Ban Gu's father, Ban Biao, at the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty. This work is usually

referred to as Later Traditions, which clearly indicates that the elder Ban's work was meant to be a continuation. After Ban Biao's death, his eldest son Ban Gu was dissatisfied with what his father had completed, and he began a new history that started with the beginning of the Han dynasty. This distinguished it from Sima Qian's history, which had begun with China's earliest legendary rulers. In this way, Ban Gu initiated the format for dynastic histories that was to remain the model for the official histories until modern times.

For the periods where they overlapped, Ban Gu adopted nearly verbatim much of Sima Qian's material, though in some cases he also expanded it. He also incorporated at least some of what his father had written, though it is difficult to know how much. The completed work ran to a total of 100 fascicles, and included essays on law, science, geography, and literature. Ban Gu's younger sister Ban Zhao finished writing the book 19 years after Ban Gu had been imprisoned. An outstanding scholar in her own right, she is thought to have written volumes 13-20 and 26.

What is the influence of the Book of Han?

Ban Gu's history set the standard for the writings of later Chinese dynasties, and today it is  used  as amain teaching material of the Han period. It is regarded as one of the "Four Histories" of the Twenty-Four Histories canon, together with the Records of the Grand Historian, Records of Three Kingdoms and History of the Later Han.

As with the Records of the Grand Historian, Zhang Qian, a notable Chinese general who traveled to the west, was a key source for the cultural and socio-economic data

Lv hou

on the Western Regions contained in the 96th fascicle. The "Annals" section and the three chapters covering the reign of Wang Mang were translated into English by Homer H. Dubs. Other chapters have been rendered into English by Anthony Hulsewé, Clyde B. Sargent, Nancy Lee Swann, and Burton Watson.

Dong zhongshu

What is the content of the Book of Han?

Ji covers 12 or 13 juan. It recorded Emperors’ biographies in strict annals form, which offer a chronological overview of the most important occurrences, as seen from the imperial court.

Chronological Tables
Biao (also named tables) covers about 8 juan. They are chronological tables about fundamental people.

Zhi (also named memoirs) covers 10 juan. Each treatise describes an area of effort of the state.

Zhuan (exemplary traditions, usually translated as biographies) covers 70 juan. They are biographies of important people. The biographies confine themselves to the description of events that clearly show the exemplary character of the person. Two or more people are described in one main article,depending on their social class. Moreover, the last articles describe the relations between China and the various people beyond the frontiers .

A bit of Japan
The Japanese first appear in written history in this book, in which it is recorded, "The people of Wo are located across the ocean from Lelang, are divided into more than one hundred tribes, and come to offer tribute from time to time." It is later recorded that in 57, the southern Wa kingdom of Na sent an emissary named Taifu to pay tribute to Emperor Guangwu and received a golden seal. The seal itself was discovered in northern Kyūshū in the 18th century. According to the Book of Wei, the most powerful kingdom on the archipelago in the 3rd century was called Yamataikoku and was ruled by the legendary Queen Himiko.

What is “fu”?

Fu is a kind of prose-poem popular in ancient China, especially during the Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, the Chu Ci-type of lyrics evolved into fu. It is a type of prose-poem with introductory, concluding, or other interspersed passages that are in prose, typically in the form of questions and answers. The fu is usually called rhapsody in English, but has also been called "rhyme-prose," "exposition," and sometimes "poetical essay."

A Han fu is typically very long, describes a subject in a very detailed way from every

Four Han

possible angle, and is usually meant to display the poet's rhetorical and lexical skill rather than express personal feelings. Since it is meant to impress and discribe, the Han fu is termed the "epideictic fu." One of the most well-known Han fu is Sima Xiangru's Tianzi Youlie Fu ("Rhapsody on the Son of Heaven on a Leisurely Hunt"). The historian Ban Gu also wrote important rhapsodies during Han. With Zhang Heng, Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong, Pan Ku is named as “Four Han”, for their contribution to the development of “fu”.

Classical fields as the natural ontic structure for quantum theory

Playing this video requires the latest flash player from Adobe.

Recording Details

Although most realistic approaches to quantum theory are based on classical particles, QFT reveals that classical fields are a much closer analog. And unlike quantum fields, classical fields can be extrapolated to curved spacetime without conceptual difficulty. These facts make it tempting to reconsider whether quantum theory might be reformulated on an underlying classical field structure.
This seminar aims to demonstrate that by changing only how boundary conditions (BCs) are imposed on ordinary classical field equations, a psi-epistemic quantum theory naturally emerges. Uncertainty and basic quantization naturally result from imposing BCs on closed hypersurfaces (as in Lagrangian QFT); further quantization results from extending Hamilton's principle to restrict the BCs as well as the field equations. The partial dependence of field parameters on future BCs implies an effective contextuality, naturally avoiding the usual arguments against realistic quantum models. Successful applications to the relativistic scalar field will be presented, further motivating an ambitious research program of reformulating quantum theory in terms of ontic classical fields.

SpaceX uses prestigious NASA pad for successful liftoff

SpaceX has used the iconic Launch Complex 39A at John F. Kennedy Space Center to launch a Falcon 9 rocket and accompanying Dragon cargo capsule towards the International Space Station, the first private launch from a site that lifted off historic NASA missions.

NASA commentator George Diller said: "Liftoff of the Falcon 9 to the space station on the first commercial launch from Kennedy Space Center's historic Pad 39a!" referring to the launch complex that in the past hosted Apollo moon missions.

The launch took place Sunday Feb. 19, after an attempt on Saturday was thwarted by a concerning reading from the rocket's second stage.

Happily, once all systems were go, the parts that were supposed to return to Earth did so successfully - something SpaceX has not had total success with previously.

"Baby came back," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote on Instagram after the smooth landing of the rocket's first stage.

An unprecedented cargo

Two days after liftoff, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet and NASA's station commander Shane Kimbrough will receive the Dragon using the Canadarm2 robotic arm.

ISS astronauts will open a particularly science-focused content in Dragon's 5,500 pound cargo, which contains among many other things the SAGE-III, an Earth-monitoring tool that will observe atmospheric ozone, the Lightning Imaging Sensor, which will track lightning worldwide, and Raven, the data from which will contribute towards autonomous rendezvous for future spacecraft.

There is also content to test the behavior of various entities in space. Scientists will hope to learn more about how the 'superbug' MRSA adapts in space, conduct a mouse study on how wounds heal in space, and examine how metal alloys solidify in space.

"You can see that this particular SpaceX launch is going to keep our crew busy; it keeps us busy every day," said Tara Ruttley, an associate scientist for the ISS program. "We've never seen such a platform like this enabled on orbit for science."

As well as providing a valuable service to the ISS, SpaceX can also mark the milestone of having attempted 10 cargo missions to the space station, which are conducted under a contract with NASA.

Nine of those were a success, the exception being in September 2016 when a Falcon 9 exploded on the pad during a routine pre-launch test, destroying the rocket and wiping out a $200-million-dollar payload, the Amos-6 satellite. But hey, everyone makes mistakes.

[Solved] Language bar hot showing correctly when implemented

I’ve set up a form with a language bar. When I implement the form on my page the text in the language bar is squeezed and not spreading across the entire width of the of the bar like in the backend.

What am I doing wrong?

Dominic Sharpe selected answer

    Best answer

    Hi Catharina,

    It looks like the language bar has some default styling that forces the text to display at 50% of the survey width – as the survey itself becomes more narrow, that 50% can start forcing the content in the language bar to start wrapping the text.

    Likely the easiest solution is to adjust the width of the survey where you have it embedded – the other option is to use CSS to change the default styling of your language bar.

    I hope this helps give you some options.

I'm going with "C" - while the question doesn't state "Service Application", it is sure implied.
Normally we don't just answer exams or student things.. But if you tells us what you know and think we will correct and give hints
dm_teamAuthor Commented:

I guess the answer should be "G" - assign local admin rights to the user1 so that he can manage farm environment. This is because if we need to enable or disable the web application features, we need to navigate to Central Admin-> Manage web applications-> select the web application-> Manage Features.

This option will be available only if he can navigate to central admin. But the question is if he is able to access central admin, then he can access anything.

So it is creating confusion...can u correct if i am wrong in my thought...

Thanks in advance

Anguilla has two dominant languages. Standard English, which has a heavy British influence, is the island’s official language. Anguillian Creole is the other most commonly used language. It is recognized as the “de facto” language of national identity. It is an English based creole which has most of its words derived from English and some African languages. Other less commonly used languages are Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, German, and Dutch.

What Are the Linguistic Demographics?

A national survey conducted in 2001 of a population of 12,755, found that English speakers made up 88% of the whole population, while Spanish and French speakers made up 6% and 3% respectively. The other languages were spoken by 1% or less of the population. Although it is difficult to substantiate and differentiate speakers of Creole and English due to the heavy influence English has on the former, it is estimated that there are, at most, 10,000 Anguillian Creole speakers.

What Are Some Common Useful Phrases?

Anguillian Creole is a dialect of the more commonly known Leeward Caribbean Creole English which is spoken in some of the countries found in the Leeward Islands. There are some rules when it comes to the pronunciation. For example, there is little or no subject-verb agreement, so you will hear “you lie” instead of “you are lying.” They will also omit some letters especially at the end of the words, so you have “kin” instead of kind, and you will also find replacing the sound “th” with “d” so that you hear “look day” instead of “look there.”

Which Minority Languages Are Spoken?

The existence of some of the less commonly used languages, for example, Spanish, French, Italian, and German could be attributed to the island’s proximity to places like Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Saint Martin. For a short period, France had taken over the island because it had served as a haven for early Europeans who settled there with enslaved people brought over from Africa.
