ABOUT THIS RELEASE
The focus of this detailed paper is ancestry - a question that has only been asked in two Australian Censuses: in 1986 and 2001. Between those years, significant research, testing and refinement have resulted in the 2001 question content and format shown in Section 2.3 2001 Census question format.
This detailed paper analyses ancestry data quality in terms of question design, field operations, and processing issues, with a particular focus on areas that underperformed in 2001 and require further improvement. To provide a comparative measure, this paper makes regular statistical references to 1986 data. Together, information from the two snapshots provide an insight into the changing backgrounds of the Australian population. Differences between question phrasing, coding, or the classification structure have been noted.
A complementary Census Paper, titled 2001 Census: Ancestry - First and Second Generation Australians (03/01a) (ABS Cat no. 2932.0) is also available from the ABS.

Energy fields Impact assessment (CARES)
Project: Research
Project Details
The Energyfields project will assess the impact of reusing derelict land for renewable heat and /or power to benefit neighbouring communities whilst, at the same time using environmentally sound remediation techniques to bring the land into productive use.
This approach has the potential to deliver a step change in Scotland's low carbon heat trajectory by unlocking the development of energy that is secure, local, low carbon and community based providing opportunities to reduce fuel poverty, provide local employment and community ownership within some of Scotland's most disadvantaged communities.
Cities such as Glasgow and Dundee have already recognised the potential of reusing vacant and derelict land for renewable generation purposes to good effect. However, whilst individual technology deployment will undoubtedly provide a contribution to carbon reduction and renewable generation targets, a more integrated system approach is required if the full potential of the derelict sites are to be realized.
The Energyfields project will adopt an innovative cross-sectoral approach to land reuse bringing together specialists from renewable energy, environmental services and civil engineering disciplines with the aim of developing a methodology that can provide a step change in the speed of renewables deployment within Scotland.
The project will:
-use GIS-based energy masterplanning techniques to classify and prioritise site deployment
-work with landowners to develop beneficial business models that encourage investment
-combine energy generation and storage with smart grid techniques to develop a local energy economy
-work with local communities to provide innovative, replicable, engagement models
-develop a zoned approach to planting schemes
-Improve both the land value and visual amenity to deliver significant socio-economic benefit within some of Scotland's most disadvantaged areas.
The team includes leading land restoration experts who will advise and direct remediation activities to ensure that the land is restored effectively within the life of the generation equipment.
Layman's description
Imagine an urban environment where local low cost energy is provided by a network of shallow geothermal pipes hidden beneath a community woodland; solar arrays under planted with nettles that remove nitrogen from the soil whilst providing a potential textile fibre and wind turbines situated within a field of sunflowers, which are actively removing contaminants as they grow.
Key findings
Derelict land, especially that affected by former shallow coal mining in the Scottish Central Belt is an under-utilised resource capable of addressing the fuel and energy poverty that its prevalent in the neighbouring communities. Combinations of renewable technologies, including bioenergy, ground source heat pumps, solar PV or community wind turbines can be developed in combination to best address the aspirations of the community to their economic, social and environmental benefit.

Creating a Credits Screen for Endgame
I am creating a short gamer and I would like to add a credits screen to the 2DPlatformer template. What is the easiest way to create a message at the end of the game that tells the user who the game is made by?
Create a UMG widget with the design you want and when the game ends just spawn and add it to the viewport.
What I do is create a UMG widget like Havoc said, and then add a vertical box with text inside. Add an animation of them moving, and boom! :smiley:
Here's a more fancy way of doing it. (Warning this is for more advanced users)
Create the widget, then create two other widgets: "CreditName" and "CreditInfo".
The two new widgets hold a textbox with a function called "init", which allows you to change the text by grabbing a public variable.
So in your main widget, add a vertical box, and add a "CreditName" and "CreditInfo" widget in there, for every name and job they did. For each miniwidget, set the public variable you made earlier as the job or name or whatever.
Josh Steinhauer
And then make an animation that moves it from the bottom from the top.
On the begin play event, play the animation, and then get the duration of the animation and delay for that length. After that, remove itself.
Good luck!!
I have to do the animation of each miniwiget separately

What Does A High MCH Mean?
Advertisements
High MCH scores are commonly a sign of macrocytic anemia. This condition occurs when the blood cells are too big, which can be a result of not having enough vitamin B12 or folic acid in the body. High MCH scores may also be the result of the following: liver diseases. an overactive thyroid gland.
What is MCV and MCH?
Your MCH value is related to two other values, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Together, MCH, MCV, and MCHC are sometimes referred to as red blood cell indices. MCV is a measurement of the average size of your red blood cells. MCH results tend to mirror MCV results.
Does high MCH mean cancer?
Having MCH levels above 31 picograms/cell is most commonly associated with the following conditions: Polycythemia vera (a rare blood disease typically caused by a genetic mutation where the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells) Congenital heart defects. Certain types of kidney diseases, including kidney cancer.
Is it bad if my MCH is high?
You may not feel bad if your MCH is high. But it may be a sign that your red blood cells aren't dividing the right way. This may cause anemia because you end up with fewer red blood cells. You could have symptoms similar to low MCH.
What does MCHC mean in medical terms?
The mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is the average concentration of hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Hemoglobin is the protein molecule that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen to tissues within your body.
What happens if MCHC count is high?
A high MCHC means that hemoglobin is more concentrated than usual and may occur in a few ways. For instance, hemoglobin becomes more concentrated when red blood cells break down. MCHC is often increased in people who smoke. 10 MCHC may also be falsely increased due to cold agglutinin disease.
What is MCV MCH MCHC in blood?
Definition. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were first introduced by Wintrobe in 1929 to define the size (MCV) and hemoglobin content (MCH, MCHC) of red blood cells.
Advertisements
What does MCH stand for in a blood test?
In this Article MCH is short for " mean corpuscular hemoglobin." It's the average amount in each of your red blood cells of a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen around your body. It's possible you'll learn about MCH when you get a blood test called a CBC (complete blood count).
What does a low MCHC mean in a blood test?
A low mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) shows that someone's red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein, and a lack of it may indicate anemia. Hemoglobin is responsible for the red color in blood and for circulating oxygen around the body.
What causes high MCH and MCHC?
Causes of high MCHC include: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia: This is a condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own red blood cells. Sometimes, high MCHC develops on its own, but it can also occur alongside lupus or lymphoma. It can also happen as a result of taking certain medications.
Is High MCHC bad?
A high MCHC means that hemoglobin is more concentrated in the RBCs than usual and may occur in some type of hemolytic anemia (hereditary spherocytosis, sickle cell disease, autoimmune hemolytic anemia) and in severe burns. The elevated MCHC value is of special relevance to identifying hereditary spherocytosis.
What does low MCV and MCH mean?
Common conditions resulting in a hypochromic microcytic anemia (low MCV and MCH) include thalassemia and iron deficiency; and, less commonly, anemias associated with chronic inflammatory conditions, genetic determinants for Hb C, congenital defects in copper metabolism, some forms of sideroblastic anemia, and other
What is a dangerously high MCV level?
An average MCV score is between 80 and 95. If the MCV goes up to an extreme of 125, it may indicate vitamin B12, folate deficiencies, or cold agglutinin disease. A higher MCV value indicates that the red blood cells are larger than the average size.

A COMPARISON OF BEHAVIOR FOR TWO COHORTS OF
CAPTIVE-REARED GREATER SANDHILL CRANES
RELEASED IN NORTHERN ARIZONA

To determine how the behavior of greater sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) changes according to time of year, time of day, and number of days after release, we observed the activities of 2 groups of captive-reared greater sandhill cranes at Mormon Lake, northern Arizona. The behaviors we compared were alert, loafing, sleeping, foraging, preening, locomotion, and other. We found costume-reared subadult greater sandhill cranes that were established at the study site for a year spent more time foraging and being alert towards predators than parent-reared juvenile greater sandhill cranes that were recently released from captivity. We also found that with time juvenile sandhill cranes were increasingly alert and spent less time loafing. It appeared that captive-reared juvenile sandhill cranes learn behavior important for survival from previously released captive-reared cranes.

Kilauea continues to earn its reputation as one of Earth's most active volcanoes.
Since January 1983, Kilauea has erupted continuously, coating much of the southeast coast of Hawaii's Big Island in fresh lava, which glows red in this satellite image.
The center of the eruption is Pu'u O'o a crater southeast of Kilauea's summit. From here, the molten rock flows through lava tubes down Kilauea's steep slopes. The lava emerges on the pali (a Hawaiian word for cliff) and on the coastal plain, further down the mountainside.

Despite being explored for more than a century, Carlsbad Caverns National Park still hides more passages.
A team exploring the park's Lechuguilla Cave, the deepest cave in the continental United States, climbed over 410 feet (125 meters) into a high dome in early May. Upon reaching the top, lead climber James Hunter discovered a maze of previously unknown passages, pits and large rooms. The team named it Oz.

The Juruá River snakes slowly through the half-flooded Amazon rainforest in western Brazil, leaving free-standing oxbow lakes in its wake, which form when a river changes course as it meanders through a floodplain.
The Juruá is the most winding river in the Amazon basin and one of the Amazon River's longest tributaries, exceeding 2,040 miles (3,283 kilometers) in length. Tropical rainforests have some of the largest rivers in the world because of the tremendous amount of precipitation their watersheds receive.

The elusive and endangered dhole, or Asiatic wild dog, has been found roaming the forests of four nature reserves in Thailand. Working with photographs snapped by camera traps set up in 15 Thai parks, researchers have created the first map showing where dholes in this region likely live and what areas are suitable habitats for them.
The wild dogs favor areas deep within parks, far from humans. Enhanced protective programs near forest edges could help preserve dholes, which are more likely to be shot or poisoned when they come too close to civilization.

Watershed modeling and calibration for Spring Creek Sub-basin in the Flint River Basin of Georgia Using the EPA BASINS/HSPF modeling tool
MetadataShow full item record
Heavy groundwater pumping in the Lower Flint River Basin, especially in Spring Creek Basin for agriculture irrigation plus surface water withdrawal has led to the record low flow conditions in recent drought years during summer. To evaluate possible effects of human activities on stream flow and analyzing future impact of these practices on flow conditions, a hydrological model to simulate the stream flow in Spring Creek has been developed by utilizing EPA BASINS/HSPF watershed modeling tool. The model was calibrated by using observed gage flow during a period of 1982 to 1995. In this paper, the process of data collection, model development and calibration is discussed. The simulation of flow in Spring Creek shows a good match between simulated flow and observed flow. The goal of this research is to provide an accurate modeling tool to simulate stream flow in Spring Creek, and therefore to provide technical support for management decision.

It's a widely held misconception that horses aren't affected by sleep deprivation. Most require at least four hours of slumber, including about 60 minutes of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, during a 24-hour period. If a horse misses out on sleep for several days, he can become so exhausted that he literally falls asleep on his feet, collapsing.
Sleep deprivation is often confused with narcolepsy, a rare neurological disorder that produces excessive sleepiness, but it is usually much easier to remedy. Take the following steps to ensure your horse gets sufficient sleep each day:
Turn off the lights. Horses who are used to falling asleep outside in the darkness may have trouble snoozing if they're moved to brightly lit stalls. They can eventually adapt to brighter conditions---broodmares kept under artificial light for extended periods of time show few adverse effects---but they will be sleepy until they do.
Provide ample bedding. REM sleep can be achieved only when the horse is lying flat out or in sternal recumbency with his nose resting on the ground. You can encourage your horse to get off his feet by making the floor more comfortable. In one study, horses were more likely to lie down in a stall deeply bedded with shavings.
Keep it quiet. Horses are light snoozers, so at night try to keep the barn quiet or provide "white noise," such as easy-listening music turned down low.
Stable horses in congenial groups. Horses tend to sleep better when surrounded by other horses, but only if they all get along. Make sure your horse is friendly with herdmates in adjoining stalls. If two horses bicker all night, they may keep the whole barn awake.

Three-Body Invariant Manifold Transition with Electric Propulsion
The advantageous combination of dynamical systems theory of three-body models with Electric Propulsion to design novel spacecraft mission in multi-body regimes has been investigated. Combining the advantages of Electric Propulsion with respect to propellant requirements and low-energy ballistic trajectories existing in the three-body model, multi-body planetary tours can be designed. The employment of power constrained Electric Propulsion at the solar distance of Uranus is enabled by the use of Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators. This provides continuous availability of sufficient electrical power.
Not only a planetary tour of the Uranian system orbiting consecutively Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, Ariel and Miranda is designed, but also the required interplanetary trajectory transporting the spacecraft from the Earth to Uranus. Both the interplanetary trajectory and the planetary tour are computed in different three-body environments, where the start of the interplanetary phase is assisted by a high energy launch to limit the transfer time.
It is demonstrated that a feasible mission can be designed both in terms of transfer time and propellant mass requirement, with a scientifically interesting character. The spacecraft is unstable captured by the five moons for different periods of time, with a stable Uranian orbit as a final state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Evacuation of traumatic hemothorax (HTx) is typically accomplished with large-bore (28-40 Fr) chest tubes, often resulting in patient discomfort. Management of HTx with smaller (14 Fr) pigtail catheters has not been widely adopted because of concerns about tube occlusion and blood evacuation rates. We compared pigtail catheters with chest tubes for the drainage of acute HTx in a swine model.
METHODS:
Six Yorkshire cross-bred swine (44-54 kg) were anesthetized, instrumented, and mechanically ventilated. A 32 Fr chest tube was placed in one randomly assigned hemithorax; a 14 Fr pigtail catheter was placed in the other. Each was connected to a chest drainage system at -20 cm H2O suction and clamped. Over 15 minutes, 1,500 mL of arterial blood was withdrawn via femoral artery catheters. Seven hundred fifty milliliters of the withdrawn blood was instilled into each pleural space, and fluid resuscitation with colloid was initiated. The chest drains were then unclamped. Output from each drain was measured every minute for 5 minutes and then every 5 minutes for 40 minutes. The swine were euthanized, and thoracotomies were performed to quantify the volume of blood remaining in each pleural space and to examine the position of each tube.
RESULTS:
Blood drainage was more rapid from the chest tube during the first 3 minutes compared with the pigtail catheter (348 ± 109 mL/min vs. 176 ± 53 mL/min), but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.19). Thereafter, the rates of drainage between the two tubes were not substantially different. The chest tube drained a higher total percentage of the blood from the chest (87.3% vs. 70.3%), but this difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.21).
CONCLUSION:
We found no statistically significant difference in the volume of blood drained by a 14 Fr pigtail catheter compared with a 32 Fr chest tube.

text: Dynamic nuclear polarization experiments have been carried out on proton resonances at 53.2 Mc/s with the use of a magnetic field of 12500 G and 8 mm microwave radiation. The nuclear polarization at infinite microwave power is equal to that expected for the extreme narrowing case, using measured values of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times. The rate at which the nuclear polarization is built up during the experiment is equal to the rate at which it decays due to spin-lattice relaxation. When the enhancements for infinite power are extrapolated to infinite radical concentration, the ratio of the signal strength before and after enhancement is close to -330 as expected for dipole coupling. For mobile organic liquids the case of extreme narrowing does seem to be reasonably applicable.

wikiHow to Stay Organized and on Task with the OPA Tool
Community Q&A
The OPA tool is a tool that people may use to stay organized and on task. Read this article for tips on how you can stay organized and on task with the OPA tool.
 1. 1
 Make a list, one item per row, of tasks, chores, errands, to-do's, short term goals, etc. Do not number them, but leave a space to the left of each item (Write each item as it comes to mind, not in any sort of order. Prioritizing comes next.).
 2. 2
 Go through the list and prioritize, 1 being the most important, then 2, and so on. You may want to consider which items you can feasibly knock out the next day and give them top priority, as OPA should be done each night before bed, to relieve you of thinking of everything you need to do the next day(s), week, month, etc.
 3. 3
 Each day, wake up and knock out items in priority order. If something new comes up, or you remember something, add the item to the bottom of the list and the number using decimal, wherever you need to fit it in according to priority. Use 1.1 for an item that needs to go between prioritized items 1 and 2. If you need to add other items between 1 and 2, use 1.2, 1.3, and so on. If an addition comes between 3 and 4, use 3.1, etc.
 4. 4
 When you complete an item on the list, cross out the number. If you don't complete items, or can't get to them for some reason, put a circle around the number. These circled incomplete/unattended items are already numbered in priority (smallest number to largest) and should be added and prioritized accordingly to the next days' OPA list. Re-prioritize as needed.
 5. 5
 Items can be re-prioritized at any point during the day, should something suddenly become less important. Simply cross out the item. Re-add it to the bottom of the list, and use the decimal system to put it where it fits back in priority wise.
 6. 6
 Experiment with OPA. Customize it to meet your needs.

Grosskreisentfernung / Great Circle Distance Mail Art
46 artists from 12 countries collaborated on a Mail Art project that travelled over 66,000 km and was exhibited for the first time in Berlin from 8-20 July 2019 at project space tête.
Grosskreisentfernung / Great Circle Distance Mail Art project relied on the global mail system to create a visual dialogue between 46 artists from 12 countries. Great Circle Distance refers to the shortest distance between two points on the Earth's surface. The project's total Great Circle Distance was more than 66,000 km.
Each artist created a new artwork in response to one posted to them by another artist. This sequential process began and ended in Berlin. This global artistic dialogue continued the tradition of Mail Art that dates back to at least the 1940s with Ray Johnson (New York), and the FLUXUS movement of the 1960s and 70s. Despite the ubiquity and instantaneousness of e-mail, there is still an important place for Mail as a means of human communication, and for artworks to be made, exchanged and shared outside the traditional world of white cube galleries and the commercial art market.

What is the difference between stem tendrils and leaf tendrils?
Last Updated: 25th May, 2021
Click to see full answer.
In this manner, what are leaf tendrils?
In botany, a tendril is a specialized stem, leaves or petiole with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support, attachment and cellular invasion by parasitic plants, generally by twining around suitable hosts found by touch. They do not have a lamina or blade, but they can photosynthesize.
Beside above, what are tendrils answer? Answer: Tendrils are the thin, thread-like growths on the stems or leaves of climbing plants. The two types of tendrils are stem tendrils and leaf tendrils. The tendrils grow towards the things they happen to touch.
Then, what plant has tendrils?
Its anatomy may be of stem tissue or of leafstalk tissue. Common examples of tendril-producing plants are the grape, members of the squash or melon family (Cucurbitaceae), the sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus), and the passionflowers (Passiflora species).
How do plant tendrils work?
Tendrils are skinny, wiry structures along the plant's stem that actually reach around in the air until they come into contact with something they can grab. Once contact is made, the tendril curls, forming a coil that allows the plant to adjust the degree of tension or pull on the support.

What Do People Ask Online About Pole Dancing?
What do People Ask Online About Pole Dancing?
Remember that time you witnessed pole dancing for the first time and your jaw dropped?
Learning a new hobby appealed to you. You watched a few online videos and pictured yourself spinning on a pole. Maybe you planned to perform for your special someone.
And then someone close to you said something untoward, and you hesitated. Did you enroll in your first trial class? Or were you held back by fears?
Well, you're not alone! We've curated top questions asked on Reddit, Quora, and Twitter. Results suggest that first-time polers are afraid of how hard it can be or of negative judgment.
Read on to satiate your curiosity and overcome your objections:
How hard is pole dancing?
Quora How Hard is Pole Dancing?
Anyone can pole dance. There aren't pre-requisites to get started, like a former dance background, or developed a group of muscles from years at the gym or specific skill sets at a height like rock climbing. Pole dance isn't an activity that discriminates based on what body type you have, or what your physical training has been.
However, pole dancing requires consistent hard work to make progress at. If you have access to a good studio and teachers that's already half the battle won. You must practice at least three to four times a week to build core strength you need to execute aerial tricks, suspend upside-down on the pole and hold your poses through minutes-long routines. The good news is, practice pays off.
You also must work on your flexibility. Classes start with 20 minutes of warm-ups and stretch so you don't get injured. They design pole moves and routines so that everything you learn is cumulative; once you master the basics, in just two to three terms you could execute complicated aerial stunts in the air, upside down, and with showmanship!
Will people judge you for learning to pole dance?
Teacher Suspended Pole Dancing
I learned pole in a private women-only studio with black-out curtains and a very discrete instructor, so I wasn't afraid of prying eyes or judgment. My family and friends told me over and over not to tell anyone else, but with time I lost a lot of fear around this.
People will always a judge, and they will judge you out of context. Especially if they never liked you in the first place, or if they're dissatisfied with their own lives.
I'd be wary of radio-announcing your newfound hobby around the workplace, or communities involving young kids or parents of young kids. As with nudity, so with pole dancing. You want to give them an option to not see you strutting your stuff if it's offensive to them. If they're not ready for it yet, it's their loss, it doesn't have to affect your ability to practice it within your own space.
Instead of negative judgment, I've only ever encountered praise and awe from both men and women. They're impressed by the feats I accomplish on the pole, they compare it to gymnastics and exclaim 'wow, you must have core strength!' or 'how do you do that with your body? You're so flexible!' Mostly I get positive feedback on how brave I must be to do this whenever I perform.
Pole dancing has become my prime passion, my body an instrument to spread body positivity to other women. That's so important, this year has seen a lot of debate around social media causing negative body image issues. How can I possibly keep such a thing quiet when I believe in healthy body perspectives?
Bruises – does it get better?
The answer is, yes! This too, shall pass. Everyone who starts a beginner class in pole complains about bruises. The first time you come home from a class looking bruised like a banana, you worry that your family may think you have an abusive boyfriend! The truth is, antibruise creams don't work as advertised.
Getting back on the pole, and practicing often, does. Bruising happens, in my opinion, in the early stages when you're too reliant on the touch points between your limbs or your joints and the pole to keep you aloft. Once you develop proper techniques and learn to engage your whole-body strength, you shouldn't bruise so easily.
Warm up in thick volleyball kneepads to protect your knees. You can use these during exotic pole, too. Wear more coverage, like yoga pants and long-sleeved shirts, when you practice floor work (for those pesky shoulder rolls, shoulder stands, and legwork on your back).
Is pole dancing a sport?
Pole dancing can be a sport. I know there are those trying to get it accepted by the relevant committees to make it an Olympic sport. But I see it more as an art form. I don't think it has to be a sport to be touted as something 'acceptable' or 'mainstream' that many people can do for either fitness or as a hobby.
It's such a close-ended question to ask. Like asking, 'is ballet a sport'? The idea of making it seem like a sport instead of a dance or art form makes it sound so competitive. Like we need to have X medals in pole dance competition or Y qualifying rounds of elimination to determine who is fit to pole dance and who is not. Like there are certain 'organizations' who have to govern over it and put it on a billboard or provide a place for it in a stadium for us to accept it.
I much prefer a pole dance community that is open and not judged. Where we get to wear our sexy high heels and star-studded bikinis and celebrate one another's showmanship, grace, lines, techniques, and styles. Pole dancing is beautiful when we come at it from a place of acceptance — of everyone's diversity in expressing themselves through this art form.
Now we've answered your burning questions, come join PoleCon 2019 and get pole dancing!

Peacemaker, warrior, cross-cultural community builder, American Indian activist, tribal elder, cultural preservation consultant, Native American issues advisor, Founding Mother of the modern Indian repatriation movement, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, local Unsung Hero, religious advisor, and the Rosa Parks of NAGPRA -- these are a few of the descriptors applied to a unique woman who spent the last 16 years of her life in Ames (_PHONE_).
Maria Pearson (Running Moccasins) was a proponent of human rights for all Americans, and, in particular, those of American Indians. A member of the Yankton Sioux tribe, she worked tirelessly on behalf of Native American peoples in Iowa and nationwide. Largely through her efforts, the Iowa Burial Code was changed in the 1970s mandating the reburial of American Indian skeletal remains. Her work in Iowa and continued advocacy on behalf of Native American rights was instrumental in the passage of important federal legislation, most recently the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) of 1990. This act provides comprehensive protection for Native American burials and associated artifacts on federal properties and in public and private museums and collections. Her accomplishments in this area were recognized not only at a national level but in several international conferences dealing with human rights and repatriation issues.
In 1990 she traveled to Venezuela to attend the Second World Archaeological Congress as an official indigenous member of the Executive Council. The BBC made a documentary program, Bones of Contention, about Maria that was broadcast in 1995.
Maria was featured in the Leadership 2003 series of the Ames Tribune.


Lahey/GNU Fortran
How the Driver Works
The driver (LGF.EXE) translates and passes the appropriate options to the GFortran driver, GFortran.exe, which must be found on the path (PATH environment variable). GFortran.exe controls the two main processes - compilation and linking - used to create an executable program. Supplemental processes, like creating static libraries, DLL's, import libraries and processing Windows resources, are sometimes used depending on whether you are creating a DLL or a Windows GUI application, etc. These processes are performed by the following programs:
The The LGF driver uses temporary files for sending information between the driver and processes it controls. These files are automatically created using random names and are deleted when the process is complete.
If the -c (compile only) option is specified, processing will stop after the compiler runs and modules are created (if necessary). Otherwise, processing continues with the appropriate action depending on what sort of output file is requested.

Healthy churches know why they do what they do, says pastor and author Graham Standish. When what we do is based on a clear why, we act with purpose. When we don't know why we do what we do, we lose focus.
Why do some churches flourish and others struggle? Those that flourish generally know why they do what they do. Those that struggle typically only know what they do. Why do we continue to host the strawberry festival year after year, when few people come anymore? Why do we insist on playing mostly the same hymns today that were sung in the 1950s? Why do we insist on saying "We've always done it this way," when clearly that way is no longer working because people are no longer coming?
When we understand clearly why we are doing what we are doing, and when this why is based on a compelling purpose, it leads to creative, dynamic, and inspiring mission.
Most mainline churches are experts in knowing what to do, but they're generally lost as to why they do what they do. And understanding why is the key to health, growth, and renewal. Why is vision. It is the ability to understand where we want to go or, more specifically, where we are called to go and what our purpose is in doing so. When we understand clearly why we are doing what we are doing, and when this why is based on a compelling purpose, then it leads to creative, dynamic, and inspiring mission.
Unfortunately, many pastors and church leaders with vision are great at understanding why, but stink at actually figuring out what needs to be done to accomplish their why. This is the struggle for many seminary theologians who are good at saying what the church's purpose is (in other words, the why underlying a church's ministry and mission), but can't tell people how to pragmatically accomplish it. This problem extends to many pastors who have strong, deeply held convictions and theologies about a church's purpose, but never manage to articulate how to accomplish what they want the church to do. They are good at offering shoulds and oughts, but terrible at offering pragmatic hows that accomplish what we should and ought to do.
Meanwhile, a bigger problem is that most churches and pastors are good at articulating what we should do as a church, but never really understand or articulate why we should do it. Why should we worship this way over that way? Is it simply because that's our tradition? Why is our board structured the way it is, and is this the best way to create a leadership team? Why do we engage in the ministries and missions that we do? If we are good at articulating what to do, but then don't have a compelling, inspirational why at the core of what we do, then what we do will cease to inspire our members, and the ministries and mission will founder.
Ultimately, leading a healthy church requires being able to articulate both why and what. We need to be clear about why we should engage in a ministry, but also articulate and plan out specific and concrete steps to achieve it.
A simple way of thinking about this is that the apostles always understood why they were spreading the gospel. They knew that they were called by God to reach out in Christ's love. That was their purpose, their calling, and their why. At the same time, they knew concretely what to do and how to do it: preach, teach, heal, feed, create communities, love each other, and do so in ways that were relevant to each kind of person.

program evaluation
Technical papers detailing the results of analysis: the first-year cohort analysis and the-second year cohort analysis. Texas House Bill 5 introduced requirements that school districts partner with institutions of higher education to provide college preparatory courses in mathematics and English for high school seniors who are not yet college ready. As districts and college partners begin to respond to these provisions, there is a need for empirical research on the effects of different approaches to implementing the college preparatory courses.


TY - JOUR T1 - Auditory Nerve Fiber Discrimination and Representation of Naturally-Spoken Vowels in Noise JF - eneuro JO - eNeuro DO - 10.1523/ENEURO.0474-21.2021 VL - 9 IS - 1 SP - ENEURO.0474-21.2021 AU - Heeringa, Amarins N. AU - Köppl, Christine Y1 - 2022/01/01 UR - _URL_ N2 - To understand how vowels are encoded by auditory nerve (AN) fibers, a number of representation schemes have been suggested that extract the vowel's formant frequencies from AN-fiber spiking patterns. The current study aims to apply and compare these schemes for AN-fiber responses to naturally-spoken vowels in a speech-shaped background noise. Responses to three vowels were evaluated; based on behavioral experiments in the same species, two of these were perceptually difficult to discriminate from each other (/e/ vs /i/), and one was perceptually easy to discriminate from the other two (/a:/). Single-unit AN fibers were recorded from ketamine/xylazine-anesthetized Mongolian gerbils of either sex (n = 8). First, single-unit discrimination between the three vowels was studied. Compared with the perceptually easy discriminations, the average spike timing-based discrimination values were significantly lower for the perceptually difficult vowel discrimination. This was not true for an average rate-based discrimination metric, the rate d-prime (d'). Consistently, spike timing-based representation schemes, plotting the temporal responses of all recorded units as a function of their best frequency (BF), i.e., dominant component schemes, average localized interval rate, and fluctuation profiles, revealed representation of the vowel's formant frequencies, whereas no such representation was apparent in the rate-based excitation pattern. Making use of perceptual discrimination data, this study reveals that discrimination difficulties of naturally-spoken vowels in speech-shaped noise originate peripherally and can be studied in the spike timing patterns of single AN fibers.

Matching Values and Beliefs
Do organizations share values and beliefs to create a positive culture featuring trust? The good ones will in youth, high school, and collegiate programs.
Organizations, coaches, and leaders in all walks of life are successful when they form a culture of success. When this development occurs early within the relationship of leader and follower, increased trust and passion for the leader are demonstrated. This knowledge is beneficial for coaches, teachers, and organizations that work with athletes of all ages to usher in a positive culture that leads to a lifetime of success.
According to Sinek (2009), cultures are groups of people who come together around a common set of values and beliefs. When the coach, assistant coach and director have a vision of success that they can clearly communicate and continuously reiterate to the athletes, parents, and support groups; a culture is cultivated.
College coaches must quickly learn about the personality, values, and beliefs of recruited athletes to determine if they will be a positive fit within the program. Contradictory values and beliefs between coach and athlete lead to players having poor experiences. Success is had when the established culture is passed down from coach to upper classman to new players just joining the program. With these groups successfully stating and demonstrating the same values and beliefs in a consistent manner, an increased chance of cohesion, trust, and passion will happen for the group.
At youth programs, the organization that shares a common set of values and beliefs with athletes and their parents can clearly communicate their vision for success and will retain more players for upcoming seasons. If training at a high level and playing competitive games each weekend is the belief of the sport club, parents and athletes that share this belief will have an amazing experience within the organization. Ensuring values and beliefs match between the groups increases the positive experience between parent and coach, player and coach, and family and organization. Families looking for sport organizations to join must ensure their beliefs and values match the organizations prior to joining to allow for the best on and off field environment to be created.
Shared values and beliefs among members of the group form trust. Trust is maintained when the leader actively promotes the values and beliefs. Restating the values and beliefs in all forms of communication to all members of the group is a necessity to maintain the established cultureAs trust continues to grow, the development of passion happens as the individual feels like they are part of something in which they believe.
Educated Coaches exists to empower athletes, organizations, coaches, and families to create opportunities for lifetime success. The Educated Coaches culture values positive growth through dynamic experiences in which the athlete, organization, coach, and family work in a cohesive manner for an objective bigger than each one of them individually…lifetime success for all.

Fraktur is both a style of lettering and a highly artistic and elaborate illuminated folk art created by the Pennsylvania Dutch (also known as Pennsylvania Deitsch or Pennsylvanian German). Most Fraktur were created between 1740 and 1860.
Fraktur drawings were executed in ink and/or watercolors and are found in a wide variety of forms: the Vorschriften (writing samples), the Taufscheine (birth and baptismal certificates), marriage and house blessings, book plates, and floral and figurative scenes. The earlier Fraktur were executed entirely by hand, while printed text became increasingly common in later examples. Common artistic motifs in Fraktur include birds, hearts, and tulips, as well as blackletter and italic calligraphy.

Objectives: This paper presents a health monitoring criteria development aspect based on the frequency response spectrum under axial compressive load on wooden samples. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The compression tests are performed on different wooden specimens as per IS:1708 (Part VIII and IX):1986. The impact echo test is conducted at certain load intervals under increased compressive load and the frequency spectrum was monitored. A MATLAB based code is used to calculate the dominant frequency values of the sound signals corresponding to each impact echo test. The graphs for frequency and compressive load are plotted for different samples. Findings: Interesting conclusions were obtained from the frequency plots under compressive load before failure and after failure. It was observed that loading decreases the frequency values. But at the point of initial major crack, frequency was increased due to length reduction. Applications/Improvements: A health monitoring criteria can be developed based on the frequency response trends by observing these increased value of frequency when tested on the wooden samples. The damaged and undamaged state were predicted successfully.
Keywords: Compressive Load, Frequency Response Spectrum, Health Monitoring, Impact Echo Test, MATLAB

- Gut your book. This is usually done by simply slicing down the inside cover where the cover meets the pages. Simply cut out the page block with an X-acto knife. Of course, you can save this for more projects, read it or recycle it!
- Cut out rectangles of fabric and heat and bond. They will need to be about 1-1.5″ wide and long than the front of your book that you will be covering with fabric.
- Iron heat-n-bond to fabric. Then square one of the long edges.
- Glue fabric to front of book, then flip it over and trim the corners. You will leave a little bit more than 1/8″ on the corner.
- Flip over top and side flaps to finish your book cover. Repeat on the other side.
- Let dry.
- Cut four squares of fabric that are about 2″ by 2″.
- Sandwich the zipper between these two layers of fabric with the end of the zipper peeking out. Then sew along the line indicated.
- Fold over the two flaps and press. Repeat with other side. And trim to width of zipper.
- Cut four strips as long as your zipper piece (including the fabric ends) and 2″ wide. Sew these onto the zipper like so:
- Repeat with the other side and you'll have a fully encased zipper with fabric all around. Now you're ready to glue it in.
- Start by gluing the end of the zipper. Fold over 1/2″ and glue underneath the fold. Then curve the fabric and start glueing one side of the fabric to the book. When you reach the corners, pivot and fold your fabric to fit.
- When you get to the end let it dry. Then open the zipper and repeat with the other side.
- Cover the inside spine with fabric. Turn under the raw edges at the top and bottom and glue it down.
- Now cut two pastedowns from fabric backed with heat n bond. They should be about 1/2″ smaller than the inside of the cover. Glue and press firmly.
- Let dry and you are done!

I've read article about WorkManager _URL_ and I have the question. In order to use Workmanager, I vae to create that object using admin console and during creating workmanager I can set some properties like thread priority or pool size. In that article we can see java example:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
WorkManager wm = (WorkManager)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/wm/default");
ThreadFactory tf = new WASThreadFactory(wm);
BlockingQueue q = new ArrayBlockingQueue(10);
ThreadPoolExecutor pool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
1, 10, 5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, q, tf);
My question is, what happen after putting new values to ThreadPoolExecutor constructor? Is it possible to overwrite WorkManager properties defined in Websphere by that code? What is dependence between values passed to constructor and values defined for Workmanager in websphere using admin console?


What is the CLARITY Technique?
The analysis of proteins and nucleic acids within large, intact organs is a very difficult process. Prior to the development of the CLARITY technique in 2013, such analytical methods involved sectioning and restructuring and were thus limited to small and thin tissues.
Illustration of the human brain - which could be stained using the CLARITY technique - by Johan SwanepoelJohan Swanepoel | Shutterstock
The brain contains 86 billion neurons, which are assembled into very complex circuits. Research into the structure of this major organ is very important. However, previous methods of analyzing the brain were limited, requiring a caliber slicer to cut the sample into very thin sections (20-50 μm), before staining, imaging, and quantification of proteins. These traditional techniques were very time consuming and prone to error, particularly in terms of distorting the structure of the tissue.
Advantages of the CLARITY technique
The lipid-exchanged, anatomically rigid, imaging/immunostaining compatible, tissue hydrogel (CLARITY) was developed by Chung and Deisseroth at the Stanford University School of Medicine in 2013.
CLARITY preserves the original tissue structure with formaldehyde and acrylamide, retaining the original location of the proteins. Next, SDS is used to eliminate the lipids from the tissue with electrophoresis, while proteins and nucleic acids remain in their original locations.
Following SDS, the tissue can then be immunostained to enable examination of the nucleic acids/proteins within intact organs. This reduces the amount of error as no cutting of the organ sample is required, maintaining the original tissue structure and preventing distortion of protein location.
Once an image is captured, the primary antibody can be removed, and a second antibody can be applied, allowing multiple immunostains per tissue sample. Therefore, this technique allows accurate, reliable identification of protein location.
Issues associated with the CLARITY technique
One of the main issues associated with the CLARITY technique is that each repeat results in loss of protein concentration. Therefore, in cases where multiple antibodies are labeled in multiple repeats, the protein concentration will be continually reduced, lowering the accuracy each time. Furthermore, it also takes a long time (approximately 2 months), and the acrylamide which is used is very carcinogenic and toxic.
Applications of the CLARITY technique
The CLARITY technique is especially useful in the imaging of brains. This has led to potential uses in research, such as investigations into circuit wiring, subcellular structures, protein relations, neurotransmitters, and neuronal cell communications. For example, CLARITY has been used to identify specific neuronal connections in autistic patients. Other research avenues include Alzheimer's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.
This method is useful in many different types of organ, including the spleen, testis, pancreas, and the liver. It has also been demonstrated to work in bone tissue after decalcification. Furthermore, it has also been used in other organisms, such as Zebrafish.
Conclusions and perspectives
CLARITY is a new method used for the analysis of protein location. Although it has a few drawbacks, it also has multiple benefits over traditional imaging techniques, reducing error and maximizing data that can be obtained from a single sample.

Young Australians live with their parents to save for a house deposit
The rising cost of living, including a lack of affordable housing, has changed the financial landscape for Australia's youth.
According to the Young People's Financial Strategies: Insights from the Australian Youth Barometer report from Monash University, young Australians often defined financial security as being able to afford material needs without worrying about money.
Saving and investing were listed as their main strategies for financial security, but many factors could influence that in a negative way, including paying for housing.
Interviewees said the prospect of living independently, especially paying rent, was a potential threat to their ability to save.

A recent experiment conducted revealed the importance of onsite safety training for supervisors and employers. As most workers have the tendency to follow orders before considering safety, it is essential that construction supervisors undergo online training classes for onsite safety. The experiment included a supervisor and an apprentice, both played by actors. Passers-by were asked to pass on a supposed 'live' wire to the apprentice.
More than 90% of the passers-by handed over the wire to the apprentice despite being warned of the 'danger'. Even when the apprentice faked a shock, they picked up the cable and gave it to him again. With more importance given to productivity rather than safety, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure the safety of the workers. This is where extensive training for a white card proves useful.
The experiment showed that most people had respect for authority and did not question their safety when they were asked to do something. This attitude places the onus on employers and supervisors who must not ask workers to carry out unsafe activities. The attitude of the workers towards safety largely depends on their supervisor. If the supervisor does not place importance on safety, chances that workers value onsite safety also decreases.

Lukas Swan was first introduced to renewable energy and battery electric vehicles while growing up in California. "I became fascinated with energy use, saw a unique role for my skills, and applied them to batteries for grid storage," he says.
Because there's not yet a standardized, optimal way of extracting power from tidal currents, many tidal industry technologies are currently being tested around the world.

What happens when a chemical bond is formed?
(A) energy is always absorbed
(B) energy in always released
(C) more energy is released than is absorbed
(D) energy is neither released nor absorbed
Correct Answer : energy is always absorbed
Question Asked : SSC Section Officer (Audit) Exam 1997
Explanation : If a bond is broken, energy Is released; and If a bond is formed, energy must have been absorbed. The energy within bonds is'stored' and can be easily thought of as potential energy. Upon the breaking of these bonds, the energy is released thereby creating usable energy.

What is his purpose and why does Steinbeck put Noah in The Grapes of Wrath?

Posted on (Answer #1)
Functionally and superficially, Noah has several roles. We can also look at his character thematically.
Functionally, Noah is the eldest son and so should hold a certain position of authority in the family. He does not fulfill the role assigned to this position however as he is tempermentally incapable of doing so. He is just not a leader. In this way, Tom becomes the leader of his generation, having overcome this formal obstacle.
(Formal obstacles and arbitrary hurdles often seem to get between Tom and his goals. Overcoming them is part of his development and part of what makes him the protagonist of the novel.)
Superficially, Noah's presence brings the family number up to twelve (Ma, Pa, Uncle John, Noah, Tom, Rose of Sharon, Connie, Al, Winfield, Ruthie, Granpa, Granma). This has a Biblical resonance when considered alongside the presence of the preacher, Casy.
Thematically, Noah is an example of how the family breaks up under stress as well as under more overtly physical demands.
When [Tom] tells her about Noah, Ma feels the "family's fallin' apart."
Death and despair reduce the family to eight by the time the Joads leave their first camp in California. Noah represents some of this despair, saying that he is "sad" and has to stay by the river.

שְׁתֵּי מְדִינוֹת לִשְׁנֵי עַמִּים The other day, I introduced the Hebrew term that means, in English, for a change. I mentioned that the root of that word is שׁ.נ.ה (sh.n.h) and that its core concept is repetition, but I think it's also important to point out that the word for two is related as well: something repeated is done for at least the second time.So while we're on the subject of two, here are the ways to say it in Hebrew:
שתים refers to two people or objects that are grammatically feminine.
כַּמָּה נָשִׁים יֵשׁ פֹּה? שתים. How many women are here? Two. (Women can only be female). Wait, there's more… In Modern Hebrew, שנים and שתים are used where two is used as a noun, such as in an answer to a question.
But far more commonly in speech, we use two as an adjective. In that case, Hebrew uses a different form, meaning literally, two of…
The two forms are:
שְׁתֵּי מְדִינוֹת לִשְׁנֵי עַמִּים two states for two nations We use the feminine שתי in the phrase שתי מדינות, since the word for state -מְדִינָה- is a feminine noun. We use the masculine שני in the phrase לשני עמים, since the word for people – עַם- is a masculine noun.

UVA's High Arctic pictures
UVA's High Arctic picturesNational Maritime Museum
The landscape is supposedly set 100 years in the future looking back at the glaciers that have been lost. The poem provides the continual narrative starting 1,500 years ago through early discovery and towards the melting of the ice caps at the end.
The crucial element of the exhibition is the fact that visitors use ultraviolet torches to navigate their way through the darkened space. These torches activate projections in what would be the torch's beam. As they weave their way through the ice islands, there are five open "pool" areas for visitors to explore with their torches.
Thanks to a network of 10 ceiling mounted cameras which track the UV lights and 10 projectors, the torches activate different projected animations in each of the "pools". These are stylised in the same way that the glaciers are and progressively become more polluted as visitors journey through the five different arctic stages. The more torches are in a certain area, the wider the beam of the projection appears in that particular pool. Some 70 people can explore the exhibition space simultaneously.
The projections are supported by a generative sonic landscape designed by Max Eastley and Henrik Ekeus which allows for the movement of gestures throughout the room, for example the sound of a gust of wind can blow down through the room "to give a cohesiveness over and above the individual interactions with the space", according to Clark.
The entire production, including the stage lighting, the projections, the camera tracking and the soundscape is controlled by UVA's proprietary D3 software, describes as "an integrated production tool for sculptural media installations".
Software director and co-founder Ash Nehru said that this marks a "depart from traditional exhibition". He explains: "It is more of a sensory, emotional space -- something that is more of a playful, musical, visual experience rather than just being a lecture. We want to make you feel something and stimulate your desire to learn stuff. If you are kid we want to make you want to find out more and be an explorer."
High Arctic will be on display at the National Maritime Museum this summer.

The George C. Reifel Migratory Bird
Sanctuary is situated on Westham Island, just west of the community
of Ladner in the Municipality of Delta, British Columbia, Canada. (more
information on admissions and location). It consists
of nearly 300 hectares (850 acres) of managed wetlands, natural
marshes and low dykes in the heart of the Fraser River Estuary.
For the millions of birds seeking feeding and resting areas during
their annual migrations along the Pacific Coast, the Sanctuary
is ideally located. It is a place where wildlife and their habitats
are protected from harm, and it lies next to miles of flat marshland
and the farmland of Westham Island.
Washrooms and picnic facilities are all located next to the
parking lot. The dykes serve as walkways and are wheelchair
accessible. A two-storey (10 m high) observation tower is located
in the northwestern corner and provides an excellent view of
the shallow ponds, the intertidal marshes of the Fraser River
estuary outside the dykes, the ocean (Strait of Georgia) and
landmarks in the Vancouver area. Another viewing area with wheelchair
access is only 15 minutes walk from the entrance gate, and overlooks
the marshy islands and ponds of the south half of the Sanctuary.
are several small buildings along the trails. These are
"bird blinds" or "hides" and are designed
with small slat-like windows so that visitors can view the birds
outside without disturbing them.
The fall migration period (October to early December) is the
best time to view noticeable large flocks of waterfowl (ducks,
geese and swans) feeding and resting in the estuary and the ponds
of the Sanctuary. Different species have different food requirements,
so food to them can include grasses, remnant farm crops, weed
seeds, parts of intertidal marsh plants, underwater pondweeds
and algae, plankton, other small aquatic organisms or fish.
fall viewing is made most spectacular by the arrival of the
"Fraser-Skagit" flock of Lesser
This particular sub-population of snow geese numbers between
50,000 and 100,000 depending upon nest success in arctic breeding
grounds on Wrangel Island (Russia). These birds start to arrive
in early October and spend the winter at the Sanctuary, in surrounding
parts of the Fraser River Estuary (Delta and Richmond) and in
the nearby Skagit River Estuary in Washington,USA. They depart
for northern nesting grounds in April.
Snow geese are easily viewed by visitors when they are feeding
near the observation tower and in fields around the entrance to
the Sanctuary. (For more on their biology and management, see
Section or download the "Migration
Studies" booklet designed for the school program.
Highlights for winter visitors are the tame Mallards and Black-Capped
Chickadees which will feed from the hands of visitors. The trees
in the Sanctuary also provide winter shelter for many small forest
birds and roost sites for birds of prey such as owls, eagles and
a variety of hawks.Winter visitors often encounter the very small
Saw-Whet Owl roosting in the darker areas of branches overhanging
In spring, millions of Western Sandpipers pass through the Fraser
River estuary, and often feed and roost in the managed shallow
ponds of the Sanctuary. The spring is a particularly good time
to see hawks, eagles, seals, cormorants, ospreys and other fish-eating
wildlife which follow schools of migratory salmon and eulachon
(a small oily fish species) to the mouth of the river.
Many bird species are resident year-round or visit here during
the summer months to nest and rear their young. Mallard Ducks,
Canada Geese, and Sandhill Cranes nest in quiet grassy areas of
the Sanctuary but are often seen walking the trails with their
young families as these become more mobile. American Robin, Barn
Swallow, Bushtit, Marsh Wren, Red-Winged Blackbird, Gadwall, and
many sparrows also nest throughout the Sanctuary. In some years,
Great Horned Owls, Barn Owls and Bald Eagles have nested in prominent
locations near the trails.
In addition, numerous small artificial nest boxes are used annually
by Black-Capped Chickadees, Tree Swallows, Bewick's Wren,
House Sparrows, Wood Ducks, squirrels and assorted other wildlife.
Rufous Hummingbirds feeding from the flowers and feeders are
often a highlight for visitors.
In late summer and early fall, a wide variety of migrant shorebirds
visit the waters, islets and mudflats of the Sanctuary. This is
a good time to view Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Long-billed
Dowitchers, and Western Sandpipers, and to search flocks for more
Over 280 species of birds have now been recorded at the Sanctuary
Checklist), from the plentiful
Mallard, Canada Goose and (in winter) Snow geese, to the more
uncommon species such as Black-Crowned Night Heron and Gyrfalcon.

In the bible, many (most?) of the major characters are given meaningful names. For example, the name of the prophet Ishmael literally means "God has heard" in Hebrew, and is derived from the following Biblical revelation (from Genesis 16):
Similarly, in Islam, the name of the prophet Muhammad also has the clear meaning of "Praised one" in Arabic.
Given that the languages of Arabic and Hebrew are so closely related, do the Arabic names of the Biblical prophets in the Qur'an (or any of the major Biblical persons) maintain such meaning to their names, or were these simply transliterations?
share|improve this question
2 Answers 2
No, absolutely not. The Quranic names are direct Syriac transliteration, so they lose the meaning. The Quran doesn't use the genius of the 2 languages to connect words.
Some names do have archaic connections, but no Arab can tell today. For example, Adam means dark/dirt in early Arabic and Hebrew, but no one knows that today. Talut is Saul, and everyone knows that Tawl means 'Tall' in Arabic, which matches the Biblical description of him.
Ibraheem is connected to Hebrew Ab-RaHam (Father of Nations). Ibraheem means nothing close. For Isma'il, The root word Sama'(Hear) is there, but it is not a translation and no Arab could easily pick that up. No other names have these type of connections.
Only Muhammad, Ahmad, Iblees and Zaid are Arabic names, the rest are just meaningless translations, like English.

Of course every single name in the Quran has a meaning for e.g Ibrahim name has a Hebrew origin and if u translate it in Arabic it's will be ab raheem meaning merciful father and Musa means saved from the water and e.t.c. Every single word in the Quran of course has meaning but huroof muqattat like alif lam meem have a meaning but we haven't been given knowledge about what their meaning is. EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THE NOBLE QURAN HAS A MEANING l. Jazakallahkhair

Jahn-Teller distortions in the electronically excited states of sym-triazine
Electronic structure of the low-lying excited states of sym-triazine is analyzed. Excitation energies are computed at the equilibrium ground state geometry and at the geometry of the cation. Full geometry optimizations of the selected excited states were performed, and the magnitude of the Jahn-Teller distortions in these states was quantified. Analysis of the electronic structure of these states offers a simple recipe for predicting the symmetry of th equilibrium geometries by a single point calculation of the vertical excitations. Whereas the states derived from excitations between a degenerate pair and a non-degenerate orbital form a familiar two-state conical intersection and are always distorted by virtue of the Jahn-Teller theorem, the states derived from the excitations between two pairs of degenerate orbitals form more complicated glancing-like manifold characterized by negligible Jahn-Teller linear terms. Our analysis shows that regardless of the degeneracy pattern in these four-state manifolds, the top two states are always nearly-symmetric. Particular shape of the potential energy surfaces in a glancing intersection depends on the relative ordering of the states within the manifold, and different topologies of both types of intersections around D3h geometry are discussed. Predicted symmetry of the excited states is compared to the optimized structures of the selected sym-triazine electronic states.

Organic garden and Permaculture
Atlas Kasbah is the first permaculture project in southern Morocco. Since 2009, several international volunteers have succeeded in developing a garden of native plants that thrive thanks to techniques such as companionship: a vegetable garden, medicinal and aromatic plants, fruit trees and argan trees:
British expert A. Drew initiated the project, to implement landscape architecture and sustainable garden management;
American specialist M. Connoley focussed on increasing the irrigation potential of the plants and improving the soil;
Our whole team of Amazigh gardeners collaborated in field diagnostics and crop selection.
This protected ecosystem provides nesting sites for many species of bird.
