The Benefits of Anamu
The Benefits of Anamu
anamu

the English refer to it as garlic guinea weed. Whatever the name, anamu, or Petiveria alliacea, is native to many parts of South America, Mexico, Texas, Florida, and the Caribbean. Anamu has a strong, garlic-like odor and equally powerful therapeutic properties that have been used by herbal enthusiasts all over the world.

Why is Anamu Beneficial?
Anamu contains tannins and other compounds that have known beneficial qualities. Also found in many berries and fruits, tannins are strong antioxidants that are resistant to swelling and redness. Anamu also contains dibenzyl trisulfide, a unique sulfuric compound that's exhibited some interesting behavior in the laboratory.
Anamu roots and leaves have been used to help the body purge harmful organisms. According to the Department of Chemistry at State University of New York at Albany, anamu root has demonstrated resistance to both bacteria and fungus. Anamu is popular in Argentina for fighting certain viruses. Extracts of anamu leaves and stems have been used as a control agent for cattle ticks.

Other Health Benefits of Anamu
Besides its efficacy against harmful organisms, many cultures have utilized anamu flowers, leaves, and roots to remedy negative health conditions as well as immune system support.
In Brazilian folk medicine, anamu leaves and root may be made into a tea reputed to hAnamu, or Petiveria alliaceaelp reduce fever, lessen muscle spasms, relieve pain, and calm the nerves. In other Amazonian traditional medicine systems, anamu is used to promote detoxification via urine production and resist irritation. Like many other botanicals, anamu has exhibited antioxidant activity which helps fight free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. In animal studies, extracts from anamu leaves and stems have been observed to reduce blood sugar.
Anamu Precautions
If you're pregnant or trying to become pregnant, it's best if you avoid anamu. Some studies have shown that it may stimulate uterine contractions which can lead to abortion. [6] Additionally, anamu has a blood thinning effect. If you have blood disorders, you should talk to your healthcare provider before taking the herb or any supplement that lists it as an ingredient.

About insightDproject
What is beyond the art of dance? What can dancers do to improve the lives of children who live in countries affected by internal conflict or disasters? Life has taught us that when we push together towards a goal, we can move mountains. insightDproject is a dance project focused on the development of an artistic path at a young age. Children and teenagers would have the opportunity to recognise themselves as human beings capable of achieving goals through their courage, tenacity, responsibility and discipline.
A brief insight of a process that involves the world.
The project consists of 6 phases, involving dancers, choreographers, producers, musicians, psychologists and consultants from around the world. All of them have contributed to shape this process. The first phase began in NYC in April of 2016 and it took a year and a half to put together all the material needed to proceed to the next phases. I, Joe Belial, a Producer, Audiovisual Director and Journalist, passionate of the image, felt the urge to share my insight beyond the beauty of the movements, through audiovisuals and photography: Dance helps to change lives.
Shaping society through dance.
Personal satisfaction has been something that human beings have always long for, needing, without any doubt, the help or inspiration of others to achieve this. In this tenacious search, he has come to experience different arts, which have enabled him to find himself and unconsciously unload his emotions and feelings. Dance has always been one of those languages that allows human beings to communicate through movements, expressing feelings and moods.
Dancing awakens emotions and fantasies through the movement. It facilitates the expression of sensations, emotions, feelings and moods in a natural and uninhibited way. Thus, we can connect with ourselves and with those emotions that we repress, such as rage, anger, anxiety, anguish, pain, sadness, which can be channeled in a healthy way, which helps emotional control in the day by day.
The videos present an insight of what's beyond dance and how this can be a means of social transformation. The activities were carried out in Evitar and Cartagena, Colombia. The intention was to conduct pilot tests of dance workshops related to the project.

Environment variables
When creating browser checks, you probably run some code locally, store it in a Git repo or copy and paste it around a bit. This means the credentials in the script are at risk of being exposed. You should therefore replace any confidential data in your browser check scripts with environment variables.
Managing variables
For browser checks, you can create environment variables at three hierarchical levels:
 - Check level
 - Group level
 - Global level
Check variables are added on the Variables tab for each browser check.
add local variables
Group variables are added on the Variables tab in a group. The variables stored here are accessible only in the group context.
add group variables
Global variables are added on the Variables tab. The variables stored here are globally accessible throughout Checkly, hence the "Global environment variables" title.
add global variables
Whenever possible, store variables at the global level. This DRY's up your code.
Any data you "lock" is encrypted at rest and in flight on our back end and is only decrypted when needed. Locked environment variables can only be accessed by team members with Read & Write access or above.
Keep in mind, though, that Read Only team members will still have access to information on the check results page. If you want to avoid team members with Read Only access from viewing environment variables, avoid logging secrets during your check.
Accessing variables
Both check, group and global environment variables are accessible in your code using the standard Node.js process.env.MY_VAR notation. For example, the code snippet below show how you can log into GitHub. We have more examples of login scenarios on this page.
import { test } from '@playwright/test'
test('Github login', async ({ page }) => {
 await page.goto('_URL_
 await page.getByLabel('Username or email address').type(process.env.GITHUB_USER)
 await page.getByLabel('Password').type(process.env.GITHUB_PWD)
 await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' })
})
const { test } = require('@playwright/test')
test('Github login', async ({ page }) => {
 await page.goto('_URL_
 await page.getByLabel('Username or email address').type(process.env.GITHUB_USER)
 await page.getByLabel('Password').type(process.env.GITHUB_PWD)
 await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' })
})
You can access the current data center location using the implicit process.env.REGION variable. This resolve to the AWS region name, i.e. 'us-east-1'
Variable hierarchy
As browser checks are scheduled, Checkly merges the check, group and global environment variables into one data set and exposes them to the runtime environment. During merging, any check variable with the same name as a global or group variable overrides that variable.
Or in another words:
check variables trump group variables trump global variables.
You can make use of this by providing a default value for a specific variable at the global or group level, but allow that variable to be overridden at the check level.
General built-in runtime variables
The Browser Check runtime also exposes a set of environment variables (e.g. process.env.CHECK_NAME) to figure out what check, check type etc. you are running.
property description type
CHECK_NAME The name of the check being executed. String
CHECK_ID The UUID of the check being executed. String
CHECK_TYPE The type of the check being executed, (BROWSER) String
CHECK_RESULT_ID The UUID of the result where the run result will be saved. String

Reflex Systems announces Reflex|Drama V.1.0
Thu 20th Mar 2003 | News
Reflex Systems Inc announced today the release of the REFLEX|DRAMA v.1.0 system, the first offering of its family of 3D human generation products.
Reflex|DRAMA is the industry's first resolution-independent human modeling and animation system. What this means is that users can design humans once (using the patented Reflex|DNA) and change the resolution on the fly to produce 3D humans tailored to their needs and requirements. Reflex|DRAMA was designed for users who need a scaleable solution that can address the low to medium-resolution required for games while still being able to go super-hires for film and television work.
Reflex|DRAMA is a new class of 3D animation software based on a musculo-skeleton approach. A musculo-skeleton is a simulated assembly of volume tissue representing all the major layers of the human body. Reflex|DRAMA musculo-skeleton layers include bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, fat and skin.
To model a new Human being, users simply need to modify the internal layers (ex: bone warping, bone scaling, muscle bulging, fat injection, etc.) and prompt the system to update the external skin based on the new layer information. Changes in the musculo-skeleton are saved into a format called Reflex|DNA and can be reapplied to any human in a 3D scene.
The patented Reflex|DNA sequencing technology is the fastest ways to design humans with realism. Everything that users change in the body is "recorded" as they work. The result is the electronic version of a real DNA: a faithful recording of what makes an individual truly unique! Users do not need to know anything about the human anatomy. Everything is visual, interactive and mouse-driven.
ReflexDRAMA was developed with direct input from leading special FX and game companies to address long standing issues:
 - Resolution independence - Design once and deploy at any resolution in NURBS or polygon meshes.
 - Speed of design - Considerably reduces the time that it takes to generate human characters.
 - Openness - Includes an SDK to generate a large number of different human models at various resolutions and automatically assign motion files to them.
 - Simplicity - Eliminates the need for IK setups and manual vertex weighting and assignments.
 - Compatibility - Compatible with existing 3D animation software. The outside skin can be exported using different file formats.
Pricing and availability
The REFLEX|DRAMA software is available immediately from authorized resellers. Through May 31st, 2003, it is available at the introductory price of $8,990 per node-locked and floating license. For further information please visit the Reflex Systems website at.

Tangara velia (*)
Tangara velia (Linnaeus, 1758)
Syst. Nat. ed.10 p.188
The Opal-rumped Tanager (Tangara velia) is a species of bird in the Thraupidae family. It is found in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest of South America. The population of the Atlantic Forest has a far paler chest than the other populations, and has often been considered a separate species as the Silvery-breasted Tanager (Tangara cyanomelas). Today most authorities treat it as a subspecies of the Opal-rumped Tanager.

8.19: Lesson Forty-three
Created by: CK-12
Words With and
1. Earlier you saw that with the spelling of [t] before the letters there are two special smaller patterns that we called the VCle and the VCCle patterns, as in title and tattle.
In the VCle pattern, as in title, the vowel will be _____, but in the VCCle pattern, as in tattle, the vowel will be _____.
The VCle and VCCle patterns hold for words that have the letters right after the sound [p]. Underline the letters that spell [p] in each word:
&\text{pineapple} && \text{cripple} && \text{sample} && \text{staple} && \text{ample}\\&\text{simple} && \text{ripple} && \text{temple} && \text{quadruple} && \text{maple}\\& \text{disciple} && \text{steeple} && \text{example} && \text{supple} && \text{people}
2. Sort the fifteen words into this matrix:
3. In words that have a [p] sound with right after it, if the [p] comes right after a consonant or long vowel, the [p] is spelled _____. But if the [p] comes right after a short vowel sound, the [p] is spelled _____.
4. Sort the words with short vowels before the [p] into these two groups:
If there is a consonant between the short vowel and the [p], we only need a single <\text{p}> because the other consonant will fill out the VCCle pattern. But if there is no other consonant, we need both <\text{p}>'s.
5. In the VCle pattern the vowel is __________, but in the VCCle pattern the vowel is _____.
6. Two ways of spelling [p] are _____ and _____.
Word History. Although its name analyzes to pine + apple, a pineapple is neither pinenor an apple. In earlier centuries the word apple was often used to refer to fruit in general, and the word pineapple originally was used to refer to the fruit of the pine tree—that is, the pine cone. Later it was used to refer to the fruit from Hawaii because pineapples look very much like large pine cones.

Rules For Part Time Jobs For International Students In the UK
The United Kingdom has been the prime destination for education for a long long time. Many students dream of living and studying in London. However, the cost of living and studying here can get a little expensive, when compared to other countries. As a result, a lot of students decide to become employed, in order to have additional income during their stay here. According to employment law UK, students are allowed to work with certain restrictions. Below we have summarised some of the rules of working as an international student in the UK.
Jobs For International Students In the UK
The work laws for international students are ever changing, here we have summarised the latest rules that must be followed regarding students working hours uk:
 1. Students allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours:
 1. Full-time students, studying at a degree level or above.
 2. Students attending Short-Term studies abroad programme in the UK at an overseas Higher Education Institution.
 2. Students allowed to work a maximum of 10 hours:
 1. Full-time students, studying below degree level.
 2. Any course where the student is a Tier 4 (Child) Student, aged over 16 years old.
The above mentioned students can undertake full-time work during vacation periods.
 1. Students not allowed to work in the UK:
 1. Part time students, studying at post-degree level or above.
 2. Students studying at any level in a publically funded further education college.
 3. Students studying at any level as a private provider
 2. Tier 4 (Child) students under the age of 16 years old.
Things You Must Avoid
There are some employment laws in UK you must keep in mind when undertaking jobs in the UK as an international student.
If you are allowed to work in the UK, you cannot do the following:
 - be employed as a doctor or dentist in training (except on are cognised foundation programme);
 - be employed as an entertainer;
 - be self-employed
 - engage in business activity;
 - fill a full-time, permanent vacancy (except on a recognised foundation programme or where you are filling a post as a Student Union Sabbatical Officer).
 - Please keep in mind that if you break any laws relating to your work, you can be deported, and you could face legal repercussions, which will be detrimental to your career.
 - You shouldn't solely rely on what you earn, part-time employment cannot sustain the living costs in the UK.
 - Most importantly, focus on your studies, money should not be your main concern. You will have plenty of time for that after you graduate!
It takes a lot of courage to study abroad, many students overcome financial strains in order to attend university in the UK. Undertaking part-time work can he essential for international students, not only for the money you can earn, but also for the valuable experience of meeting new people and becoming part of a new culture.
At Study Bridge, we understand the struggles you can be going through, thus we urge you to get in touch with us, any time you need assistance. We also provide career assistance and student guidance throughout their studies. With Study Bridge you'll never be alone.

Clicking on the Visibility tab allows you to configure the lots view able per bidder. For example, un-checking the box for 'Visibility' next to a lot means that the selected bidder won't be able to see that lot.
There are two ways to configure the data:
- Online - Click on the 'edit' button next to your chosen bidder and modify the visibility for each lot.
- Offline - download an Excel version of this screen by clicking 'Download'. Make your changes in Excel, save the file, and then upload it using the 'Upload' button.
Changing Lot Visibility
Changing the lot visibility means that you want to show or hide a lot from a bidder. By default, all lots are visible to all bidders. To change the visibility:
- Online - Select the edit button next to the desired lot and then modify the lot visibility and adjustments (as shown below):.
- Offline - Use the word 'FALSE' in the 'Visibility' column to hide a lot ('TRUE' means that the lot is visible).
Apply Bonus/Malus (Adjustments)
Click on the Bonus/malus tab to apply adjustments to bid values per bidder. You can also use the '% Bonus/Malus' and 'Turnover Bonus/Malus' columns, both online and in Excel, to favor or penalize bids from certain bidders for specified lots:
- % Bonus/Malus: This is expressed as a fraction, such as 0.50 (50%). A positive value favors the bid by reducing it by that percent. A negative value, such as -0.50 (-50%), penalizes the bid by increasing it by that percent.
- Turnover Bonus/Malus: This is expressed as a currency value, such as 100.00. A positive value favors the bid by reducing it by that number. A negative value, such as -100.00, penalizes the bid by increasing it by that value.
On the bidder-side screens, the adjustments impact the feedback, which will be based on the adjusted bid. For example, if two bidders enter a bid of $100,000 but Bidder 2 has a malus of 20% (-.20) then, because of the adjusted bid of $120,000 (see Figures 1 and 2 below, both showing feedback for the same bid value - except that the bidder in Figure 2 has the malus applied):
- Bidder 2 won't see the winning icon (the default 'Low Cost Baseline' scenario will award to the other bidder instead).
- Bidder 2 will see a lot rank of 2 instead of a rank of 1.
- Bidder 2 will not meet a reserve price/feedback target of $100,000 with a bid of $100,000 (the reserve will be compared to the adjusted bid).
- The difference to next rank/first rank will appear as $16,666.67 (16.67%) since a bid of $83,333.33 is needed to equal the other bidder's bid of $100,000 ($83,333.33 * 1.20 = $100,000).
- The minimum bid decrement and maximum next bid feedback will be affected if the target value is based on the next ranked lot bid or first ranked lot bid.
As mentioned above, scenario allocations will also be impacted by any bidder adjustments for lots.

Enter Price Information and Number of Futures Contracts
STOP ORDERS DO NOT NECESSARILY LIMIT YOUR LOSS TO THE STOP PRICE BECAUSE STOP ORDERS, IF THE PRICE IS HIT, BECOME MARKET ORDERS AND, DEPENDING ON MARKET CONDITIONS, THE ACTUAL FILL PRICE CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THE STOP PRICE. IF A MARKET REACHED ITS DAILY PRICE FLUCTUATION LIMIT, A "LIMIT MOVE", IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE A STOP LOSS ORDER.


text: The use of information and communications technology in environment management and research has witnessed a renaissance in recent years. From optical sensor technology, expert systems, GIS and communications technologies to computer aided harvesting and yield prediction, these systems are increasable used for applications developing in the management sector of natural resources and biodiversity. This paper presents an environmental decision support system, used to monitor biodiversity and present a risk rating for the invasion of pests into the particular systems being examined. This system will utilise expert mobile technology coupled with artificial intelligence and predictive modelling, and will emphasize the potential for expansion into many areas of intelligent remote sensing and computer aided decision-making for environment management or certification. Monitoring and prediction in natural systems, harnessing the potential of computing and communication technologies is an emerging technology within the area of environmental management. This research will lead to the initiation of a hardware and software multi tier decision support system for environment management allowing an evaluation of areas for biodiversity or areas at risk from invasive species, based upon environmental factors/systems.

How To Identify Common Species of Migratory Butterflies
Many species of migratory butterflies have distinctive patterns and are easy to identify. Others are not particularly distinctive and can be confused with similar migratory or non-migratory species. Easily identified species include buckeyes, mourning cloaks, and red admirals. monarch on aster Problem migratory species, with many look-a-likes, include cloudless sulphurs, pipevine swallowtails, most of the angle wings, and fritillaries. Ironically, the single best know and most studied species, the monarch butterfly is also a problem species with two look-a-likes, the queen butterfly (migratory), and the viceroy butterfly (non-migratory). Because viceroy butterflies do not migrate and are not particularly abundant when monarch butterflies are making their spring and fall migrations, viceroys are unlikely to be picked up by our sampling techniques. Fortunately, monarch butterflies are usually much more abundant than queen butterflies during the migration period, minimizing the risk of errors due to mistaken identification. In any case, it is essential for researchers in this project to get a good field guide, a pair of binoculars, and a butterfly net (which can double as a wind sock), and practice identification in the field. Some species with highly distinctive markings can be identified by viewing them through binoculars. However, most species will have to netted and examined at close range. As noted above, monarchs fall into the second category. Over the years I have netted'monarchs' flying among vegetation that turned out upon closer examination to be viceroys, queens, and on one occasion, a large gulf fritillary.
The need for practice in species identification brings up another topic. How can a field researcher convince others that their identifications are accurate? After all, everyone makes mistakes (see above). I've even received photographs of a tiger swallowtail from someone who believed that they had photographed a monarch butterfly. Voucher specimens and/or good quality photographs are the only way around this problem. In my opinion, voucher specimens are the better of the two options. Photographs can ensure that an identification was correct but present practical problems. Monarch butterflies are abundant, large, showy, tend to roost in clusters, and while nectaring, almost seem to pose for the camera. Most other migratory butterfly species are less cooporative. They are usually less abundant than monarchs, less brightly colored, smaller, solitary, and camera-shy, tending to fly off as soon as you approach. Finally, because the top and bottom surfaces of the wings can be equally important for identification, at least two high quality photographs are required for many species. On the other hand, preserved voucher specimens can be examined at leisure and may even serves as resource material for future DNA analysis. The last point is important. Migratory and non-migratory populations of some species may eventually prove to have significant genetic differences. If there is a change in the distributions of the two types over the years, voucher specimes could indicate how things once were 'back then'. In in case, if you decide to collect voucher specimens, several individuals of each species should be plenty.


text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data What is the concentration of the unknown Cu2+ solution? The reaction is Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) -> Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s). The concentration of Zn2+ is 0.05 M 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution I'm coming up with about 2 different answers, and I'm not sure which is correct. Using a graph of (Emf vs log Cu2+) I obtained the line y = -1.0967 - 0.02x and I'm not sure how to figure out the unknown copper concentration. Method 1 (I'm leaning towards this method): -1.08 V is the voltage obtained from the unknown. -1.08 V = -1.0967 - 0.02x x = -.835 10^x = 10^-.835 [Cu2+] =.146 M Method 2: I'm assuming E0 is the y intercept and -0.0592/2logQ is the slope, not positive if that is correct. E = E0 - 0.0592/2logQ Q = [Zn2+]/[Cu+2] -1.08 = -1.0967 - 0.0592/2 log Q [Cu+2] =.183 M Which is the correct method to use for finding the copper concentration?

A bog is a unique type of wetland dominated by organic soil known as peat; bogs are known for unusual plants such as the carnivorous pitcher plant and sundew. This area has been the subject of many ecological studies. A 1/4-mile trail leads from the parking lot to the bog overlook and interpretive signs. Please be sensitive to the fragile nature of this ecosystem when visiting; even sporadic foot traffic off the trails can permanently damage the vegetation. The parking lot is on State Road (S.

Is NYU Medical School free?
The NYU Medical School is indeed free. The choice to provide free tuition "recognizes a moral obligation that must be addressed, as institutions lay an increasing debt load on young people who wish to become physicians," according to Robert Grossman, dean of NYU Health.
Is NYU medical school free for international students?
The School of Medicine at New York University (NYU) has declared that all previous and current students would no longer be charged tuition, regardless of academic standing or financial need. With full tuition scholarships available to all students, including International students, NYU is the only top-ranked US medical school to do so.
NYU medical school GPA and NYU medical school MCAT score
Students accepted to NYU Medical School had a median undergraduate the NYU Medical School GPA of 3.96 (with a range of 3.47-4.0) and a median NYU medical school MCAT score of 522 (with a range of 510-527).
NYU Med School Tuition & Financial Aid
No matter their academic standing or financial situation, all students at the NYU School of Medicine are eligible for a full scholarship. This equates to a $56,272 annual award for each student. Students are required by the college to have health insurance, as well as to cover additional costs and living expenses.
NYU Medical School Curriculum
The USMLE Step 1 exam is taken by students after their clerkship year, except for MD/Ph.D. candidates who take it before starting their Ph.D. studies.
Additionally, the curriculum includes PLACE and NYU3T (a collaboration program with the New York University College of Nursing) (Patient-Based Longitudinal Ambulatory Care Experience).
The Grossman School of Medicine at New York University also has 5-year dual degree programs, some of which can be completed in as little as four years:
- Biomedical Informatics MD/MS.
- Translational Research MD/MS.
- General Management MD/MBA (with the New York University Stern School of Business).
- Health Policy and Management MD/MPA.
- Global Health MD/MPH.
The 3-year program is only open to students who have been accepted into the 4-year stream. A residency spot at NYU Langone Health in the chosen specialty is guaranteed to students enrolled in the three-year program.
They finish preclinical training at the same time as four-year students, but they start clinical rotations six weeks earlier and complete a summer fellowship in the department of their choice after their first year.
NYU Medical School MD Programs
NYU breaks down its main four-year MD program into four parts:
Pre-clerkship curriculum: This occurs during the first year and a half of your education.
The clerkship: During the second half of the second year and the first half of the third, students participate in four rotations for twelve weeks each.
Individualized exploration: During the second half of the third year, students take time to study for the U.S. Medical Licensure Exam and take elective courses or begin a concentration.
Career preparation: Students complete a second clerkship and sub-internships in the fourth and final year.
Additionally, the Grossman School of Medicine provides a three-year expedited MD degree. Students can cut their living expenditures and other charges while hastening their time in medical school. This program compresses vocational preparation and individualized inquiry, and it necessitates additional summertime commitments.
NYU med school program completion timeline
NYU also offers other dual degree MD programs, including:
MD/Masters of Public Administration in Health Policy and Administration: This program lasts five years, with a break in the usual MD program in the fourth year for the MPA curriculum. Students complete a capstone project in the final year, preparing them for careers at consulting firms, government agencies, nonprofits, and more.
MD/Masters of Public Health in Global Health: An MPH in Global Health prepares students for careers in epidemiology, community health, policy management, and more. Students can apply for this program until their junior year.
MD/Masters of Science in Translational Research: This degree helps you prepare for research-related careers and their application to medical therapies. The program lasts five years, with the fourth year focusing on the MS.
MD/Masters of Arts in Bioethics: A degree in Bioethics can help you work as a bioethicist in hospitals, medical schools, and labs. The program lasts five years, with the fourth year focused on Bioethics.
MD/MBA in General Management: You enroll in NYU's Stern School of Business during your fourth year. There, you take classes to prepare you for careers in business ownership, healthcare management, and pharmaceutical consulting, among others.
NOTE: A dual degree program may be right for you if you seek interdisciplinary medical education.
Is NYU Med School Tuition Free?
The NYU program will begin immediately and pay $55,000 in annual tuition for 443 current students. However, students will be responsible for paying for their lodging, meals, and other costs, which add up to about $27,000 a year.
Bachelor's Degree and GPA
A bachelor's degree from an approved institution or university in the United States or Canada is required of candidates for admission to NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Students in our most recent incoming class had undergraduate GPAs that were, respectively, 3.96 and 3.92 on average.
Letters of Evaluation

Old English hara "hare," from West Germanic *hasan- (cf. Old Frisian hasa, Middle Dutch haese, Dutch haas, Old High German haso, German Hase), possibly with a sense of "gray" (cf. Old English hasu, Old High German hasan "gray"), from PIE *kas- "gray" (cf. Latin canus "white, gray, gray-haired"). Perhaps cognate with Sanskrit sasah, Afghan soe, Welsh ceinach "hare." Rabbits burrow in the ground; hares do not. Hare-lip is from 1560s.

(Heb. 'arnebeth) was prohibited as food according to the Mosaic law (Lev. 11:6; Deut. 14:7), "because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof." The habit of this animal is to grind its teeth and move its jaw as if it actually chewed the cud. But, like the cony (q.v.), it is not a ruminant with four stomachs, but a rodent like the squirrel, rat, etc. Moses speaks of it according to appearance. It is interdicted because, though apparently chewing the cud, it did not divide the hoof.

To receive disability insurance benefits from an insurance company, it's not enough to have a disabling diagnosis. Rather, insurance companies reviewing disability benefit claims require evidence (such as medical records, letters from doctors, and test results) to determine the validity and severity of the disabling condition, a Symptom diary. Therefore, even if you suffer from a genuine disability, if it is not properly documented, the insurance company may use that lack of evidence to deny your claim. It is important to review your policy and include any and all information you believe will help explain your condition and support your claim.
Including a symptom diary can help improve your chances of approval by detailing your condition on a day-to-day basis. That is particularly true if you suffer from migraine headaches or other medical conditions for which "objective" evidence may not exist. This article will explain how keeping a symptom diary can help to provide additional context and support for your disability claim beyond what is contained in your doctor's notes.
Your Policy's Definition of "Disability"
The definition of "disability" or "disabled" can vary from policy to policy. Understanding which definition is specific to your policy is key to a successful disability claim. A typical definition of disability may be similar to:
Disabled or Disability means You are prevented from performing one or more of the Essential Duties of:
- Your Occupation during the Elimination Period of an LTD insurance Claim;
- Your Occupation, for the 24 months following the Elimination Period, as a result Your Current Monthly Earnings are less than 80% of Your Indexed Pre-disability Earnings; and;
- after that, Any Occupation.
It is important to remember, that definitions can vary by different insurance companies, and even policy to policy. Read your policy carefully and consult a disability insurance attorney if you have any questions.
What Is a Symptom Diary?
A symptom diary is a journal, or other document, where you record your daily symptoms and how they affect your ability to function. A symptom diary doesn't have to be complicated, it can be kept on a calendar, in a notebook, or even digitally. The most important thing is that you are consistent. Free symptom diaries are available on the internet and are designed to help you keep track of your symptoms. There are also many apps you can download on your phone or tablet that will record your symptoms.
What Should You Record?
Chronic disabilities or illnesses can affect you differently each day. The symptom diary should reflect how your condition changes day by day. Include details about your day, activities you were able to complete, and things you are no longer able to accomplish. Since most disabilities or illnesses cause residual pain, document how much pain you experience after performing a task, and how long that pain lasts. If you have a condition that is exacerbated by food (i.e., irritable bowel syndrome, heart burn), keep track of what you eat and how it makes you feel. If you suffer from headaches, it is important to keep track of symptoms such as, sensitivity to light, sound, and activities. In addition, document what if anything, relieves your symptoms. It is important to understand, your symptom diary cannot be too detailed. The more details you provide regarding your symptoms and their effects on your function, the better understanding the reader will gain from its contents. In addition, to providing evidence for your disability claim or subsequent appeal, your doctor may benefit from the diary to help with diagnosis and treatment.
Conditions That Benefit Most from a Symptom Diary.
Symptom diaries are used to document a variety of conditions, especially those conditions that are hard to qualify by a laboratory test or radiological studies (i.e., MRIs, X-rays). People who suffer from migraines, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome ("IBS"), chronic pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia, can benefit from keeping a symptom diary. Indeed, when filing a claim for disability benefits, any conditions that hinders the persons ability to function, can benefit from providing the claim manager with a daily account of your symptoms and limitations.
Medical and legal scholars agree that for conditions with no objective tests, such as migraine headache pain, symptom diaries can provide "objective proof" of the frequency and severity of headache pain, even though such diaries incorporate subjective observations, "since it is a form of evidence commonly used by physicians treating potential migraine patients, similar to how other doctors utilize x-rays or test results." See Creel v. Wachovia Corp., 2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 1733, *26-27 (11th Cir. Fla. Jan.27, 2009); see also Leetzow v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., No. EDCV152468VAPKKX, 2016 WL _PHONE_, at *9 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 5, 2016) (citing headache log as evidence supporting disability).
It is important to remember, however, that nothing can guarantee an approval of disability benefits. Providing a detailed symptom diary is compelling evidence to show how your specific condition and symptoms affect your ability to function.

Today my laser like wrapping focus is on burlap. I am slap bang and very happily in the middle of Mother's Day wrapping and there have been more than a few requests for a burlap touch. Burlap is not my go to fabric but I have seen it used really well and when it works, it really does have a certain presence.
Burlap is also known as hessian is many parts of Europe because it was in wide use in Germany when that country was called "Hesse" and Germans were called Hessians. Who knew? Some Germans fought against the American rebels in the American Civil War and they fought in burlap uniforms – now that would be none too comfortable. That could explain why in religious rituals where one is denied pleasure, clothing is inevitably burlap, jute or even hair shirts.
Burlap is coarse because it is made of the skin of the jute plant. The fibres of a jute plant are high in cellulose and lignin which creates an almost hybrid cloth wood or wood cloth. Jute is strong, durable, resistant to heat and water seepage, and dyes well. Jute is also a good insulator and is anti-static. C'mon Jute – now you are showing off! If this natural fibre is speaking to you, I can recommend a great overview called From Jute to Hessian
Because Jute grows in standing water, it is typically grown in countries where the is a monsoon such as India, Nepal and Myanmar and Bengal in Bangladesh. Jute was once known as the "Golden Fibre of Bangladesh".
Like many natural fibres before it, Jute how has many synthetic competitors. Which is a shame for many reasons but most interestingly because one hectare of jute can consume about 15 tons of carbon dioxide while creating 11 tons of oxygen per year, making it a great anecdote to global warming.
You really can use burlap for all sorts of wrapping and decoration from burlap ribbon of various widths to table runners and chair sashes. There's jute twine, jute webbing and jute wine bags. Where to start? Even though I love some of the pastel coloured burlaps out there, I am going a la naturel and staying with a burlap ribbon on a Lia Griffith patterned wrapping paper and gift tag. I do, however, reserve my rights to revisit some fabulous pink dyed burlap whenever the moment takes me.

Researchers transformed a leaf skeleton into iron carbide
Nature's fine structures are also suitable for technical applications because they exist in a numerous variety of forms, they usually display high mechanical stability and, due to their large surfaces, they provide suitable templates for catalysts and electrodes. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam have succeeded in converting the filigree skeleton of a leaf into iron carbide by using a very simple method.
Materials scientists are interested in metal carbides because they are magnetic, conduct electricity and can withstand both high temperatures and mechanical stress. However, due to the stability of the material, researchers weren't able to shape it into a specific form. The Potsdam-based chemists have solved this problem by dipping the leaf skeleton of leaves from a rubber tree into an iron acetate solution. They then air-dried the soaked skeleton at 40 degrees Celsius before treating it with nitrogen gas and heating it to 700 degrees Celsius.
"The structure was conserved down to the last detail", said Zoe Schnepp, who carried out the experiment. "The skeleton provides both the basis for the form and the carbon for the reaction. As a result, we can convert the organic substance in just one step. This is what distinguishes our method from other techniques which also use biological forms as templates for inorganic structures."
When heated, the iron acetate in the leaf skeleton is converted into iron oxide, which is then reduced by the carbon in the leaf skeleton to iron carbide. Researchers have been producing metal oxides on the basis of natural materials like leaves for some time now.
"One team has already succeeded in generating silicon carbide from pre-treated natural materials", said Schnepp. "We've now developed this process even further."
To test whether the leaf was fully converted into iron carbide, the researchers hung it in an electrolytic cell as an anode. Oxygen from the cell bubbled at the leaf and hydrogen bubbles rose at the cathode. "The experiment confirms that most of the leaf was converted into iron carbide. Apart from that, it only contains a bit of carbon," says Zoe Schnepp. The researchers also used a permanent magnet to demonstrate that the leaf had acquired the magnetic characteristics of the iron carbide.
The new method should function with all natural carbonaceous materials. "We would now like to test it on other materials", said Schnepp. "What is important about this study is that it shows how we can exploit nature's formal variety to produce wafer-thin metal carbide structures in one simple step."
You can find more information in the paper they published: "Biotemplating of Metal Carbide Microstructures: The Magnetic Leaf".


How the Trailer Breakaway System Works
Posted by Debbie Stice on 8/27/2015 to Horse Trailer Know-Hows
How the Trailer Breakaway System Works
The Trailer Breakaway System is designed to bring a trailer to a safe stop by activating the electric brakes on the trailer, should the trailer be disconnected from the tow vehicle while driving. You must have operational electric brakes on the trailer, the 12 volt battery must be charged& the switch cable must be attached to the vehicle.
Battery: At the front of your trailer is a black plastic case that holds a 12 volt battery. There are two wires connected to the battery at the top. One wire is the "ground" wire. The second wire (hot) connects to the breakaway switch. If there is a third wire, it's hooked to a small charger that charges the battery off the tow vehicle, through the trailer plug. If there are only two wires, there is no way that the battery can be recharged from the tow vehicle, and you must charge it by hooking an electric or solar battery charger to it. Or, you can install a small maintenance battery charger inside the battery box.
These 12 volt batteries often have a life of only two years, and since new batteries are not always fully charged, you must charge them before connecting the system. If you have a charger installed, it can charge the battery by plugging the trailer plug into a running tow vehicle for twenty minutes. Check the battery charge frequently. The entire battery can be depleted if the pin is pulled out of the switch for 20-25 minutes, IF it's fully charged. If it's not fully charged, it can deplete in 10 minutes or less. When checking the charge on the battery, first disconnect the trailer plug or you will be checking the tow vehicle's battery charge instead.
Switch: The breakaway switch is wired to the battery in the battery case & is mounted between the battery and the tow vehicle. It contains a pin that is attached to a wire cable, 44-48 inches long.
Pin & Cable: The pin must be inserted into the switch, facing the rear of the tow vehicle, with the attached wire cable in a direct path to where you secure it to the tow vehicle. The wire cable must be fastened to the tow vehicle independently. Never loop it through the safety chains! If the cable is not attached to the tow vehicle, the breakaway system will not work in case the trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle. Pulling the pin out ANYTIME depletes the battery, and that's why we recommend clipping the cable to the tow vehicle with it's own clip. We never pull the pin from the switch, except to check if the switch is working or if the battery is charged.
WHY is it important to have your breakaway system working? There are several ways the trailer can become disconnected from the tow vehicle. An accident or a mistake in hitching the coupler to the ball can cause the safety chains or ball mount to break or come out of the receiver. If that happens, the heavy trailer with your animals in it could roll into oncoming traffic or into a ditch and land on it's side. If your breakaway system is working, the second the trailer becomes disconnected, the pin pulls out of the switch & engages the electric brakes ---and the trailer STOPS. This gives you between 10-25 minutes to chock the tires and stabilize the trailer before the battery charge depletes.

Question...If the emergency breakaway system safety pin breaks in half inside the switch box, but the other half of the safety pin is still in place holding the prongs open can the breaks still lock up at any time. Nope. The broken end of the pin that is still in the switch will hold the prongs open & the brakes will not engage unless the pin is pulled all the way out. Once the pin is pulled out, the brakes will engage for about 20 minutes or until the battery dies. So, if there is no pin & the trailer is rolling fine, it means that there is a dead battery.

The state of vascular access teams: Results of a European survey
January 10, 2022
Scientific publication on Vascular Access Teams: Cortés Rey N, Pinelli F, van Loon FHJet.al, Int J Clin Pract. 2021 Sep 13:e14849. doi: 10.1111/ijcp.14849.
Introduction
Vascular access devices are widely used for the safe administration of medication, electrolytes, fluids, parenteral nutrition and blood products.1 In hospitals, 60 – 90 % of the admitted patients receive an intravenous (IV) device during their stay.2 Vascular access teams (VATs) are specifically trained groups of healthcare professionals who assess, place, manage and monitor various outcomes and aspects of vascular access care.1 Many European health institutions have appointed multidisciplinary VATs to help improve efficiency, patient safety and reduce costs.1
The survey
There are, at present, no Europe-wide guidelines for the comprehensive management of vascular access devices (VAD). Also, the current landscape of vascular access management as a discipline across Europe is relatively unknown.1 To remedy this, a faculty of multidisciplinary European VAT leads and experts developed a survey. As the goal was also to identify and prioritise areas of further focus, the following topics were addressed:
 - What types of vascular access devices were being used and how does this vary between institutes and countries?
 - Who is placing the devices?
 - What are the difficulties individuals encounter when carrying out vascular access management and who/where do they go for help?
 - What complications are being monitored and reported?
The survey was disseminated in six languages and two rounds through professional networks and general health societies. Round 1 was through peer dissemination in February and March 2020. Round 2 was via the Hospital Healthcare Europe (HHE) database in July and September 2020. There were a total of 1449 respondents primarily from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands. The respondents were nurses, physicians, surgeons, radiologists and anaesthetists from public hospitals and private institutions of varying sizes.
The results
The survey revealed that the availability of dedicated vascular access teams varies by country, institution size and type. Smaller institutions are more likely not to have a vascular access team, but increasingly, larger institutions are more likely to have one. Public, non-teaching hospitals have a significantly higher presence of VATs compared with private hospitals and clinics.
Institutions with vascular access teams are more likely to use a tool (eg. algorithm or guideline) to determine the appropriate vascular access devices, and the type of tool used varies slightly with the presence of a VAT. Midlines and arterial catheters appear to be more common at institutions that use a tool. Institutions with a VAT are more likely to place devices such as midlines and peripherally-inserted central catheters (PICCs) than those without.1
Institutions with a vascular access team were also more likely to systematically monitor complications than the ones without, and their respondents were more likely to have received training on vascular access management, incl. placement, care and maintenance. In addition, respondents from institutions with a VAT had additional support and relative awareness of vascular access policies.
The results of the survey, therefore, highlighted some potential benefits of a dedicated VAT. These include a broader range of VADs, increased awareness of vascular access policies, increased rate of complication monitoring and a greater likelihood of vascular access training.1
The survey also helped identify and prioritise areas for further focus and more robust scientific study. These included country-specific implementation of VATs, the impact of tools in decision making and awareness and improving education and training. There is also a need for more scientific evidence on the impact of VATs on clinical and economic outcomes.

Download the Previous Fact Sheet (From 2010)
Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians account for growing shares of the economy and electorate in New Hampshire. Immigrants (the foreign-born) make up more than 1 in 20 Granite Staters, and more than half of them are naturalized U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. "New Americans"—immigrants and the children of immigrants—account for 5.7% of registered voters in the state. Immigrants not only contribute to the state's economy as workers, but also account for billions of dollars in tax revenue and consumer purchasing power. Moreover, Latinos and Asians (both foreign-born and native-born) wield $2.4 billion in consumer purchasing power, and the businesses they own had sales and receipts of more than $900 million and employed nearly 6,000 people at last count. At a time when the economy is still recovering, New Hampshire can ill-afford to alienate such an important component of its labor force, tax base, and business community.
Immigrants and their children are growing shares of New Hampshire's population and electorate.
- The foreign-born share of New Hampshire's population rose from 3.7% in 1990, to 4.4% in 2000, to 5.6% in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. New Hampshire was home to 73,843 immigrants in 2011.
- 51.8% of immigrants (or 38,286 people) in New Hampshire were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2011 —meaning that they are eligible to vote.
- Unauthorized immigrants comprised roughly 1.2% of the state's population (or 15,000 people) in 2010, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.
- 5.7% (or 43,084) of registered voters in New Hampshire were "New Americans"—naturalized citizens or the U.S.-born children of immigrants who were raised during the current era of immigration from Latin America and Asia which began in 1965—according to an analysis of 2008 Census Bureau data by Rob Paral & Associates.
1 in 20 Granite Staters are Latino or Asian.
- The Latino share of New Hampshire's population grew from 1.0% in 1990, to 1.7% in 2000, to 2.9% (or 38,497 people) in 2011. The Asian share of the population grew from 0.8% in 1990, to 1.3% in 2000, to 2.2% (or 29,002 people) in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Latinos accounted for 1.1% (or 8,000) of New Hampshire voters in the 2008 elections, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- In New Hampshire, 92.4% of children with immigrant parents were U.S. citizens in 2009, according to data from the Urban Institute.
- In 2009, 89.2% of children in Asian families in New Hampshire were U.S. citizens, as were 96.1% of children in Latino families.
Latino and Asian entrepreneurs and consumers add billions of dollars and thousands of jobs to New Hampshire's economy.
- The 2012 purchasing power of Asians in New Hampshire totaled $1.4 billion—an increase of 828% since 1990. Latino buying power totaled $992 million—an increase of 584% since 1990, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia.
- New Hampshire's 2,211 Asian-owned businesses had sales and receipts of $733.4 million and employed 5,083 people in 2007, the last year for which data is available. The state's 1,441 Latino-owned businesses had sales and receipts of $189.4 million and employed 905 people in 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Survey of Business Owners.
Immigrants are integral to New Hampshire's economy as workers and taxpayers.
- Immigrants comprised 6.5% of the state's workforce in 2011 (or 47,691 workers), according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Unauthorized immigrants comprised roughly 1.6% of the state's workforce (or 10,000 workers) in 2010, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.
- If all unauthorized immigrants were removed from New Hampshire, the state would lose $893.2 million in economic activity, $396.7 million in gross state product, and approximately 5,220 jobs, even accounting for adequate market adjustment time, according to a report by the Perryman Group.
Unauthorized immigrants pay taxes.
- Unauthorized immigrants in New Hampshire paid $5.1 million in state and local taxes in 2010, according to data from the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy, which includes:
- $114,119 in state income taxes.
- $1.5 million in property taxes.
- $3.5 million in sales taxes.
Immigrants are integral to New Hampshire's economy as students.
- New Hampshire's 2,912 foreign students contributed $96.4 million to the state's economy in tuition, fees, and living expenses for the 2011-2012 academic year, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
Naturalized citizens excel educationally.
- In New Hampshire, 39.8% of foreign-born persons who were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2011 had a bachelor's or higher degree.
- The number of immigrants in New Hampshire with a college degree increased by 84.4% between 2000 and 2011, according to data from the Migration Policy Institute.
- In New Hampshire, 91.3% of children with immigrant parents were considered "English proficient" as of 2009, according to data from the Urban Institute.
- The English proficiency rate among Asian children in New Hampshire was 89.2%, while for Latino children it was 88.8%, as of 2009.

Difference Between Euro and Pound
Euro vs Pound
In everyday life, we often hear about the two popular currencies Euro and Pound. Right from the country of origin, the exchange rates and symbols of these two currencies are entirely different.
Euro is the term used to specify the currency of European Union countries. The countries are Belgium, Spain, Vatican City, Martinique, Germany, Finland, and the like. This currency is now being used globally owing to its exchange rate and economy of the countries to which it belongs. It is the only used currency of the 16 European Union member states. These member states together contribute the Euro Area or the Eurozone.
Pound or British pound is the currency of Great Britain. There is one more term which refers to this currency. It is Pound Sterling. This is the financial term used to represent the currency. This currency is used in the countries of United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man. Sometimes pound is also known as United Kingdom Pound.
The symbol of Euro is â‚¬ and the abbreviation is EUR. The symbol of Pound is Â£ and the abbreviation is GBP. This refers to the term Great Britain Pound. Some other abbreviations used to denote the currency are UKP, GBR, UK, and STG.
A Euro is made up of 100 cents while a Pound is made up of 100 pence. The symbol of a penny is 'p' and an amount like 40 pence is pronounced as fourty pee. So the basic unit of Euro is cent and that of Pound is pence. Both Euro and Pound have a conversion factor of six significant digits. The cents of Euro are issued as coins.
Euro came into existence in 1995 and was introduced in the financial markets in 1999, as an accounting currency. Today Euro is the second most traded and second largest reserve currency in the world. It has the most combined cash value in circulation. Pound sterling comes as the third largest reserve currency in the world. And in the foreign exchange scenario it is the fourth most traded currency.
In the foreign exchange market, if a Pound is equal to 1.59 USD, one Euro is equal to 1.46 USD. So roughly speaking, one Pound is equal to 1.09 Euro.
Euro banknotes and coins are in circulation since 1st January 2002. The European Central Bank in Frankfurt and the Eurosystem administers and manages the circulation of the Euro. The Eurosystem monitors the process of minting, printing, and the circulation of the coins and notes in the states.
The Pound and Euro are two major currencies in the foreign exchange market and two leading players in the global financial arena.
1.Euro is the currency of EU countries while pound is used in the UK.
2.The exchange rate of pound is greater than that of euro.
3.In the financial market, euro is the second most traded and pound is the third most traded currency.

Hanukah Décor Ideas
Hanukah, the festival of lights, is a time for celebrating the fact that anything is possible. Bring that sense of joyful magic to your home in a fun, elegant way by with your original Hanukah décor.
Hanukah Colors and Themes
Most families in the U.S. consider blue and white to be the official colors of Hanukah. Common variations of this palette include blue and silver or blue and gold. While these are all wonderful choices for Hanukah decorating, the American tradition of blue and white for Hanukah originates from of the colors of the Israeli flag rather than from anything particular to Hanukah itself. So when it comes to Hanukah colors, feel free to stick with American tradition or branch out and try something completely different!
Hanukah has a number of signature themes. You'll want to include some or all of these in your holiday design:
- Stars of David
- Hanukah gelt (gold or silver coins)
- Doves of peace
- Potato latkes
- Images of Jerusalem.
Many families also include gifts, snowflakes, snowmen or "Hanukah bears" in their holiday decor.
Hanukah Displays and Centerpieces
Dress up your shelves, accent tables and mantle for Hanukah with some of these simple approaches:
- Hanukah village: Create a mantle or tabletop miniature village in blue and metallic gold or silver with little houses, people, Hanukah bears, dreidels, gelt and a central menorah.
- Gelt centerpiece: Start with a white plate and place a white votive candle in a class candleholder in the center. Surround with chocolate covered gelt coins.
- Dreidel flower centerpiece: Place a decorative dreidel with a detachable top in a dreidel stand. Remove the top and fill bottom part with water and fresh cut flowers (if the dreidel is waterproof material) or faux blossoms.
- Dreidel centerpiece: Coat a collection of plain wooden dreidels in gold, silver, iridescent white or colorful glitter. Arrange sparkly dreidels in a glass bowl or an apothecary jar.
When decorating your shelves and other surfaces, don't forget to display your menorah!
The Element of Light
Since Hanukah is the festival of lights, light plays a huge part in dressing your home up for the holiday. Here are a few ways to bring light to your Hanukah design.
- Hurricane lamps: Cut and measure blue craft paper to fit around a Mason jar or hurricane vase. Use a Japanese hole punch to punch out a Hanukah design such as a menorah, dove or Star of David. Wrap vase or jar with paper and attach with craft glue. Place a tea light candle inside for a soft glow. For variations on this theme, use decoupage, glass etching or glass paint to create gorgeous Hanukah luminaries from vases and Mason jars.
- Candles: Use blue, white or Hanukah-themed candles around the home, and of course, light the menorah! When fire safety is an issue, you may want to use LED or electric candles.
- Holiday lights: Brighten up your home by adding strings of blue and white lights to the perimeter of rooms, around banisters and railings, in windows and around large plants. In addition to plain bulbs, you can also find Hanukah-themed light strings that look like menorahs, dreidels and Stars of David.
Hanukah Bush and Dreidel Tree
Many families like to add to the holiday fun with a Hanukah bush or dreidel tree. You've got lots of options to create one that fits your family's personality:
- Arrange some pre-lit branches in a vase with blue glass beads. Hang a gold dreidel or a piece of gelt from each branch with a blue ribbon.
- Use a miniature white, blue or purple Christmas tree for your Hanukah bush. Top it with a Star of David and hang Hanukah-themed ornaments from the branches. You can also add strings of blue or white light.
- Decorate a living dwarf tree with Hanukah ornaments..
- Personalize your tree or bush by adding homemade ornaments or ornaments that reflect the interests and hobbies of family members.
Hanukah Walls and Windows
Get your walls and windows into the holiday spirit with some or all of these easy ideas:
- Replace your usual framed artwork with Hanukah or winter-themed prints.
- Make your own tissue paper dreidel or menorah sun catchers for the windows.
- Create a display of Hanukah window clings. Some really pretty ones are available these days!
- Purchase or design a Hanukah wall hanging with pockets for each of the eight nights of Hanukah. You can put small gifts in the pockets for children (or adults) to discover each night.
- Hang homemade Hanukah garlands with paper or cloth dreidels, menorahs or gelt.
Your Hanukah Table
Make Hanukah meals special by decorating your table for the holiday. You might want to try:
- A blue tablecloth with a silver table runner
- Coordinated Hanukah-themed placemats and tableware
- A floral centerpiece of white carnations
- Place cards shaped like dreidels
- Blue and gold beaded napkin rings with Hanukah charms
- Table favors such as tiny gifts, velvet bags of gelt, or decorative dreidels tied with a blue ribbon.
- Gold metallic doilies under each plate
- Handmade Hanukah etchings in glass tumblers and stemware.
Taking the time to add holiday touches to your home adds beauty and spirit while creating happy memories and family traditions. Get yourkidsinvolved and design decorations you can bring out with joy year after year.

The joint ESA/UNESCO Open Initiative to conserve hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites using Earth observation satellites gets additional backing as the International Astronautical Federation joins the growing number of space entities to pledge support to the project.
The Open Initiative, agreed upon by ESA and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) in 2001, involves satellites monitoring UNESCO World Heritage sites as unique and varied as the Great Barrier Reef and the Great Wall of China in order to provide early warnings of conditions that could threaten them, such as natural catastrophes, atmospheric contamination and changes in land use. The signing of the partnership between the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and UNESCO took place today at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France. ESAs Stephen Briggs, Head of Earth Observation Science and Applications Department, opened the ceremony with his thoughts on how Earth-observing satellites have benefited humanity.
Paying tribute to the first man in space in 1961, Briggs quoted Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarins first words spoken there: "I see Earth. Its so beautiful. Indeed, observing Earth from space has truly revolutionised the way we view our home planet. With their unique global perspective, satellite systems offer incomparable advantages to help us better understand, manage and protect the Earths precious environment."
"The extraordinary cultural and natural diversity of the world is an important source of life and inspiration for humanity. Its preservation should be a responsibility shared by the whole international community," he added.
The name Open Initiative was chosen by ESA and UNESCO because they intended to have other space agencies join the partnership, and in 2003, when the initiative was formally launched, they called on others to participate.


Types of Agriculture in Japan 日本の農業の種類
1.What are the different types of agriculture in Japan?
What kind of work do you think of agriculture? You may have a strong image of just growing rice and vegetables. In reality, there is a wide range of work included under the term agriculture.
In the "Japan Standard Industrial Classification (revised in October 2013)" established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, agriculture is classified into five categories: "Establishments engaged in administrative or ancillary economic activities," "Crop farming," "Livestock farming," "Agricultural services, except gardening services," and "Gardening services.
However, in general, it is often divided into three types: "crop farming,", "livestock farming," and "agriculture-related business."
This article will look at the specific contents of these three types of agriculture.
2.What is "Crop Farming"?
Crop farming is the cultivation of rice, other grains, vegetables, fruit trees, flowers and other plants, etc. The work environment varies greatly depending on the scale of farm and type of crop.
The work of large-scale farms often involves the use of agricultural machinery. Smaller farms or those in environments where agricultural machinery is not available may work mainly by hand.
Furthermore, in open-field or greenhouse cultivation, workers have to work with exposure to the outside temperature, which would be hard in the hot summer months. On the other hand, in a plant factory, workers may work in an environment where the temperature and humidity are artificially controlled.
3.What is "Livestock farming"?
Livestock farming refers to raising, fattening, and incubating livestock and poultry, such as cattle, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep, and ducks. Typical examples are dairy farming, beef cattle production, and poultry farming.
Dairy farming is the production of milk. It may also involve selling cheese and ice cream, which are processed products of milk, or operating as a tourist farm.
Beef cattle production is the job of raising cattle for beef. Recently, the development and production of regional branded beef has become a hot topic. There are two types of farms: breeding farms, where mothers raise calves for a certain period of time, and fattening farms, where calves are bought at a market and are raised to a large size, although some farmers carry out both processes in an integrated manner.
Poultry farming is into two categories: egg production and meat production. Poultry farming in Japan is becoming increasingly modern and large-scale, and, commonly, a single farmer often manages tens of thousands of chickens.
4.What is "Agriculture-related business"?
Agribusiness is a general term for a wide range of industries related to agriculture. It is sometimes referred to as agribusiness, a term coined by combining the words agriculture and business.
Agribusiness mainly involves working to support people engaged in crop farming and livestock farming and connecting producers with consumers.
For example, one of agribusinesses activities is developing a distribution system to sell both agricultural products and processed products directly to consumers. In addition, there has been much attention in recent years on the use of robots, ICT, and other technologies in agriculture to save labor and improve quality control for producers.
As mentioned above, there is a wide range of work related to agriculture in Japan.


Tolkien Gateway
Everholt was the name the Rohirrim gave to a section of the Firien Wood. It was notorious for its boar, after which the forest was named.[1]
[edit] Etymology
The name means "boar-wood". The first element comes from Old English eofor, "boar". The second element appears also in Dimholt.
Eofor is also a Rohirric name.

The Laotian Community
Compiled by Clifton L. Holland
A Laotian American is a resident of the United States who was originally from Laos or whose parents were originally from Laos. They constitute one group of Asian Americans.
Laotian immigration to the United States was at its height after the Vietnam War. Most Laotian Americans live in the states of California, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Tennessee,Kansas, Minnesota, Oregon, or Washington. There are also large communities in Ohio, Iowa, Florida, and Pennsylvania. There are about over 200,000 ethnic Lao in America. 4,000 - 7,000 more Americans are mixed with another ethnic group and Lao. Ethnic Lao would be considered both Lao American and Laotian American.
Although many Hmong people are from Laos, Hmong Americans are usually not considered to be Lao American because they are not of the Lao ethnic group. However, the category of Laotian American includes the Hmong and other Laotian groups, as well as Ethnic Chinese and Ethnic Vietnamese from Laos.
Maps of Laotian population by census tracts in the Los Angeles area:
The IDEA Strategic Mapping and Information Service, directed by Clifton L. Holland, has produced a series of computer maps on ethnic and religious diversity in the Los Angeles 5-County Region by census tracts, based on the 1990 Census of Population. See the following links:
