Bone conduction technology fell into the hearing market several years ago as they were trying to achieve a new way in being able to communicate with tone deaf or impaired individuals. As the technology improved, it found its way into radio communications and many new products were developed using this concept of transmitting a signal that could be understood and relayed using your bones. We have several systems listed below that use such technology.
Bone Conduction Headset Systems This Bone Conduction Boom-Mic Headset is designed with two temple transducers that are worn in front of the ear. It also features an adjustable supporting fabric headband for easy and long-term wearing under ballistic helmets and hard-hats, as well as over normal baseball caps.
Bone conduction technology has been used in many industries for the purpose of using the user's bones to resonate sound. It's much like using a tuning fork and holding against your forehead. You hear the sound within your ears via the vibrations being produced through your skull. Using the side-mounted temple transducers, we achieve common bone conduction acoustics that can be heard in high-noise environments. This is especially true when you "occluded" the ear with an earplug or ear muff hearing protector. We have suggested many times to use one of our electronic earplug systems for hearing enhancement with protection. This also "occludes" the ear for better understanding of the bone conduction communications, but will not eliminate the user from hearing important, and sometimes, life saving sounds within their environment.
Additional features include:
Boom-Microphone Test Data
Speaker Receiver Test Data:
Costs: Determined by radio connection Buy Online
Tactical Ear-Mic Systems When smaller units, such as these ear-mics where developed, the user was able to transmit and receive radio information without the need for a boom-mic or lapel microphone. This allowed users wearing breathing apparatuses (SCBA), high noise headsets and protective gear to only be concerned with one wire going to the ear/head and not obstructing in front of the mouth, or anything worn around the head. The design was simple... placing small transducers that sense slight variations in the ear canal and convert them into an audio signal that can be easily understood by others. Meaning you speak and hear out of one ear! We offer two such models - a canal lock generic-fit and a semi-custom fit. Options and accessory cables are listed below.
Canal Lock Bone Conduction Ear-Mic Systems This unit features a tapered curved tip and fits into the ear canal portion of the ear. The wire will wrap around the back side of the ear and can be draped down the users back or clipped to a vest collar. It is also compatible with a line of different Push-to-Talk assemblies and securing ear coverings to prevent accidental dislodging while moving around.

The Financing Conversation
I was at a meeting of venture fund managers last week where a panel of venture backed CEOs discussed the topic of "bad vc behavior." It was a fascinating discussion, and, because of the quality of the entrepreneurs, a very frank one.
One scenario that was discussed at length, was when investors and founders do not agree on the merit of a liquidity opportunity. It was raised in the context of a transaction that is attractive to the founders, but not attractive to the investors — either as a result of fund dynamics or other return expectations. Almost all of the founders listed this type of scenario as one of their top concerns with accepting venture financing.
It is easy to see how a liquidity event can be viewed differently by a venture investor and a founder (particularly a first-time founder). What may look like a moderate return for a vc, could be life-changing for a founder. A venture investor is managing an entire portfolio — attempting to achieve an overall good return for his limited partners. A founder is singularly focused on his company, on creating a decent return for his investors, and on his personal return. Based on these, and several other dynamics, it is inevitable that the parties will have different objectives.
The way I have always tried to minimize these issues is to have the conversation about goals, objectives, return parameters, etc… early and often. The goal for investors and founders should not be to stay aligned, but to stay informed. To that end, the conversation should start before the first dollar is ever invested. The founder should ask potential investors direct questions relating to where they are in their fund, what type of return they are expecting, how much capital they have allocated to the investment, and what are their return objectives. Conversely, the investor should take the time to understand what the founder is trying to achieve. Is he trying to make enough to send his children to college, to retire in three years, or does he want to build a large company that he leads for several years to come?
The initial conversation helps each side pick their partners, but, as we all know, things change. Market dynamics, family dynamics, and life situations are constantly in flux. As a result, this conversation should be re-visited on a regular basis to make sure the parties stay in tune with one another. At a minimum, every subsequent financing event should be proceeded with a frank and candid conversation. For example, if a new investor is being brought in, does the founder understand the return implications and the new time horizon? If there is a valuation step-up, do both parties understand the how it affects return expectations? In my experience, it is often mid to late stage financing events, where new investors are being brought to the table, where investors and founders lose touch.
It is impossible to keep investors and founders in sync. What is possible, is to make sure each understands what the other is trying to get accomplished, and that financing strategy is created within that context. Anything else is likely to lead to a disconnect, frustration, and more panels about "bad vc behavior."

Hays educators skeptical of retention plan

Retaining some third-grade students struggling with reading once again is becoming a talking point with some state legislators.
Several states, including Florida, have passed similar legislation.
An Associated Press story has reported Kansas House Education Chairman Steve Huebert, R-Valley Center, already is considering legislation for the 2013 session that would require some third-grade students to repeat a grade because they aren't prepared for fourth grade.
However, parents could opt out by acknowledging their child is being promoted even though not prepared.
A bill requiring third-graders who scored in the bottom two levels of state reading assessments be retained, was introduced during the 2012 legislative session but didn't pass.
Local educators were aware of the premise of retaining third-grade students but don't like mandates based on test scores. Administrators and teachers believe it should be left up to the school district.
The Hays USD 489 district looks at individual cases, said Allen Park, Washington Elementary School principal.
"If we retain a student, we try not to do it past the first grade, (and) we do it as a team. It's a process that involves the parent," he said.
Michelle Callahan, a third-grade teacher at Roosevelt Elementary School, agreed.
"When we retain a student, we want to do good overall. That's a parent's decision."
Reading difficulties usually are identified and focused on much earlier than third grade in the district, said Amy Wasinger, a third-grade teacher at O'Loughlin Elementary School.
Superintendent Will Roth said he's in favor of programs that boost reading skills, but retaining students might not be the best option.
"The third grade (retention) has been tried in several places; some places without much success," he said. "The places that continue to have it seem to be constantly adjusting what that cut-off point is. To me, that's the real problem. What do you make that cut off?"
Sen. Allen Schmidt, D-Hays, saw the retention law first hand when he lived in Florida. Schmidt's friend, Mary Reynolds, had a son who was a successful student who suffered from test anxiety.
"She told me that her child had a bad FCAT (Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test) test day and didn't get a high enough score to advance to fourth grade," Schmidt wrote in an email.
Reynolds has been an educator for 23 years, teaching grades first through fifth, and works as an instructional trainer assigned to a Title 1 school in Pasco County, Fla.
A total of 21 third-grade students were retained at one school in her district last year because of the mandatory retention law, so it creates lopsided classes with unusually large third-grade classes.
"Third grade is very late to retain. The educational, social and emotional obstacles a student faces at this age and on outweigh any perceived advantages believed to be put into play with this law," Reynolds wrote in an email.
"The claim that it will make them work harder, if that's the reason, that doesn't have any merit with me," Roth said. "If it's a red light that we've got to get this kid help, and we've got to get it fast, and we have to have it intense, if that's the purpose of it, then it might be a good thing. ... If it's just a penalty, then it's not going to work."

Dolores Del Raye, originally from Mexico, or maybe even further south, as one unreputable source claimed Brazil, but then one reporter in Miami definitively reported she "comes from the Dunes in Las Vegas."
Heh! Barrump!
Maybe that was a joke used by her "putty-nosed, baggy pants buffoon" Billy Ainsley, who headed her show. Billy was an old Vaudeville clown, who once busted his back when a prop chair was pulled out from under him on stage. He ended up, apparently, in a house in Columbus, OH with a dog named Dukey. Why am I padding this story with patter about a buffoon? Because no one wrote about Dolores.
But Dolores did make a stag film titled "St. Louis Woman" so I guess she really was from everywhere. Most of the time when she was shown in a magazine she was called "exotic" which was the 1950s burlesque promotional word for "not white" as unappealing that is. Not only that, the layouts usually say things like "fiery" or "crazy" and made fun of her diet (enchiladas and tortillas) and said not to miss her bullfighter dance.
Racism isn't pretty, even in spit curls.
Miss Del Ray appeared often in the pages of the regulars. Adam, Follies. Rogue. But most of her pictures appear in cheaper crap like the Tri-S and Hale rags. She was a stripper, not a model.
Peak years of dancing 1955 to 1960, and yes, she performed with a big red cape she swirled around her like a bullfighter. She also wore a tiara atop her spit curls on special occasions.
Her biggest role was in color on the cover of the bible of burlesque, Cabaret Magazine, in May 1957, where, of course, she was referred to as "savage" instead of a woman.
Dolores is often seen on tumblr or pinterest, but no one ever adds content. When they do, they just crib the crap from the few men's mags who ran her publicity photos and tell two sentence lies. They just use her. That would not come as anything new to the performer. No one knows where she ended up.
She may have "appropriated" her stage name from Dolores Del RIO, a legit actress who was famous. Dolores Del Raye was not. Today you can see her dance on the Something Weird DVD Grindhouse Follies #21.

Your Local Offices
Trade/Other Name(s): Zyloprim, Aloprim, Lopurin
Why would this drug be used?
Allopurinol belongs to a group of drugs that may be called cytoprotective (cell-protecting) agents. It is used to lower blood levels of uric acid, especially in people who are getting chemotherapy or radiation therapy that is likely to kill a large number of cancer cells in a short amount of time. This helps prevent kidney damage.
Allopurinol is also used to prevent or treat other medical problems caused by too much uric acid in the body, including gout and some kinds of kidney stones.
How does this drug work?
The goal of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy is to kill cancer cells. But in some cases, killing large numbers of cancer cells in a short amount of time can be dangerous. As the cells die, they break open and spill their contents into the bloodstream. Some of these substances can cause serious kidney damage and other problems, a condition known as tumor lysis syndrome. One of these substances, uric acid, is formed from the breakdown of DNA and RNA. Uric acid is hard for the body to get rid of quickly and can form harmful crystals in the kidneys.
Allopurinol works by blocking the enzyme (xanthine oxidase) that converts other substances into uric acid.
Before taking this medicine
Tell your doctor…
- If you are allergic to any medicines, dyes, additives, or foods.
- If you have any type of kidney problems. This drug is cleared from the body mainly by the kidneys. Reduced kidney function might result in more drug than expected staying in the body, which could lead to unwanted side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose accordingly.
- If you have any type of liver disease (including hepatitis). In rare cases this drug may affect liver function. Your doctor will likely do blood tests to monitor your liver function during treatment.
- If you have ever had gout. This drug may raise your risk of an attack when first given.
- If you have any other medical conditions such as heart disease, congestive heart failure, lung disease, diabetes, or infections. You may need closer monitoring of these conditions while being treated.
- If you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or if there is any chance of pregnancy. This drug might cause problems if it is taken at the time of conception or during pregnancy. Check with your doctor about what kinds of birth control can be used with this medicine. This drug should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit is thought to justify the potential risk to the fetus.
- If you are breast-feeding. This drug passes into breast milk and may affect the baby. Your doctor may want to monitor the baby if you are breast-feeding while taking this drug.
- If you think you might want to have children in the future. It is not known whether or not this drug can affect fertility. Talk with your doctor about the possible risk with this drug and the options that may preserve your ability to have children.
- About any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines you are taking, including vitamins and herbs. In fact, keeping a written list of each of these medicines (including the doses of each and when you take them) with you in case of emergency may help prevent complications if you get sick.
Interactions with other drugs
- Allopurinol may interact with a number of other drugs. It is very important that your doctor know if you are taking any of the following:
- antibiotics such as amoxicillin (Amoxil) or ampicillin (Polycillin)
- blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin) or dicumarol
- chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) or mercaptopurine (Purinethol)
- thiazide diuretics (water pills) such as hydrochlorothiazide
- medicines to suppress the immune system such as azathioprine (Imuran) or cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
- medicines for gout such as probenecid (Benemid) or sulfinpyrazone (Anturane)
- drugs for diabetes such as tolbutamide (Orinase) or chlorpropamide (Diabinese)
No other serious interactions are known at this time. But this does not necessarily mean that none exist. Check with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about all of your medicines, herbs, and supplements, and whether alcohol can cause problems with this medicine.
Interactions with foods
No serious interactions with food are known at this time. Check with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about whether some foods may be a problem.
Tell all the doctors, dentists, nurses, and pharmacists you visit that you are taking this drug.
How is this drug taken or given?
To prevent tumor lysis syndrome, allopurinol is usually taken as a pill, starting 1 to 3 days before cancer treatment. Taking the pills after meals may reduce the chance of an upset stomach. For people who can't take allopurinol as a pill, it can also be given as an injection into a vein (intravenous, or IV).
The daily dose depends on your body size and how well your kidneys are working. Smaller daily doses may be taken once a day, while larger daily doses may be divided into 2 or 3 doses. Your doctor will check your uric acid levels during treatment and adjust or stop the allopurinol as needed.
If you are taking pills, keep the medicine in a tightly closed container away from heat and moisture and out of the reach of children and pets.
While getting this drug, other measures to help reduce the risk of tumor lysis syndrome should also be used, including good fluid intake and possibly intravenous (IV) fluids to get enough liquid. Talk to your doctor about how much fluid you should drink each day.
This drug may make you feel drowsy. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how the drug affects you. Use caution if consuming alcohol while taking this medicine. Talk to your doctor or nurse if you feel too drowsy or it does not go away.
Your doctor will likely test your blood throughout your treatment, looking for possible effects of the drug on blood chemistry levels and especially on liver and kidney function. Based on the test results, your doctor may need to reduce or delay your next dose of this drug, or even stop it altogether. Tell your doctor right away if you have trouble urinating or notice blood in the urine or yellowing of the eyes or skin.
Tell your doctor right away if you get any type of skin rash while on this drug. Rarely, a serious type of rash can develop and cause serious illness or death. This kind of reaction can also produce fever, shaking chills, and yellowed skin or eyes.
Call your doctor if you have pain when you pass urine, blood in your urine, or irritated eyes.
In rare cases, this drug can cause allergic reactions when the drug is given. Mild reactions may consist of skin rash or itching, fever, chills, or feeling flushed. More serious reactions happen rarely, but can be dangerous. Symptoms can include feeling lightheaded or dizzy (due to low blood pressure), chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath, back pain, or swelling of the lips, face, tongue, or throat. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you notice any of these symptoms during or after being given the drug.
Possible side effects
You will probably not have most of the following side effects, but if you have any talk to your doctor or nurse. They can help you understand the side effects and cope with them.
- none
Less common
- skin rash or itching*
- feeling drowsy*
- headache
- upset stomach
- allergic reaction (may include skin rash or hives, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain or tightness, swelling in the mouth or throat, flushing, or fever)*

This article was originally appeared on Smallbiztechnology.com where the Network Solutions Social media team regularly contributes articles on small business.
According to the latest Small Business Success Index sponsored by Network Solutions and the University of Maryland ( released March 2011), most small business owners are aware of various mobile marketing activities, the best known including: sending text messages to customers about a promo (73 percent) and listing the company on a location-based website (68 percent). Most owners are aware of other applications, including creating their own mobile website, placing ads on mobile websites, and creating their own apps for their business. While awareness of mobile marketing activities is high, usage is low. See this episode on the MSN's Business on the main where my colleague Navin Ganeshan joined in the discussion on Small Business Mobile technology.
My friend Ramon Ray always evangelizes that small business should not use "technology for technology sake". A small business owner may have the dilemma of what is the business losing by not going mobile or what can be gained by going mobile. What are the most important reasons for Small Business to be mobile?
Primary uses of a mobile device by a Small Business
a) Receive calls from customers at any time – a cell phone.
b) Check email – Blackberry or similar device with a email plan
c) Use the Internet, website and social networks – Smartphone with a data plan.
d) Update your website or your social networks – Smartphone with a data plan and app(s) that allow you to update your website and social networks.
How small business customers use mobile:
a) Search for a business or product on their mobile device :
- To be in front of these searching customers you should have a mobile website so your mobile site can be found on search engines.
- The mobile version should also load on all mobile phones.
b) Marketing:
- Appear in search rankings and location based social networks like FourSquare, Facebook Places, Google Hotspot, Gowalla. Location based ad services and mobile ad services.
- Subscribe to receive text messages with offers.
c) Payments:
- If you are on the go and visit customers and need to take payments you can now use your phone to get payments from credit cards.
- One method is to use an app on a Iphone or android. Some of these apps come with a scanner attachment that you can actually swipe the credit cards.
- Network Solutions ( The company I work for ) has nsMobilePay and others offering this service are Square , Intuit etc
d) QR Codes :
- These are codes that you can create that when scanned by a phone takes you to a url, gives you other information like product information or contact information. Having QR codes in your marketing materials like brochures, cards, menus etc may help customers easily access our information from their phone.
- Read my article on SmartBrief Restaurants on this topic specially for restaurant owners.
e) NFC – Near Field Communication:
- This is a emerging technology that allows a mobile phone to communicate with another device in close proximity and exchange information. This technology in future when enough devices have the capability may help phones to be used for easy payment and purchases.
At Network Solutions we are helping small businesses solve their mobile dilemma. I wanted to make sure you checked out our page for mobile tools and applications http://www.networksolutions.com/mobile-services/index.jsp that may help your business go mobile. Our website is also mobile http://m.networksolutions.com to take care of customers who want to reach Network Solutions on their mobile phones.
What apps or devices are you finding the most useful for your business? What is your strategy for going mobile? If you have seen some excellent use of mobile technology by a small business please share your thoughts in comments here.

text: Winterland...Winterland is deep brown to black with amber highlights. The massive brown head deposits large sheets of lace right down to the very last sip. The dark malt and heavy dark chocolate aroma mixed with a slight juniper scent, give Winterland a sort of chocolate covered berry aroma. The rich roasted malt flavor makes it's appearance first, followed by a dark bitter chocolate flavor. Winterland is reminiscent of a porter or stout with a surprising juniper berry finish. |

My beloved broad leaf thyme aka Cuban oregano, Spanish oregano, or Indian borage. It's growing so beautifully and abundantly that I'm going to share it amongst friends. It's a very rich, very strong herb and just a bit of a leaf goes far flavoring a meal. When the sun enters my living room first thing in the morning and sits on it's leaves it's magic to me.

Hi Crystalamina
Thank you! it was so wonderful to read about broadleaf thyme. I am desperatly looking for this herb. Back in Malaysia, my mother uses it to treat for cough and cold. I am wondering if there is anyway i can get a cutting to grow it here. I am also looking for holy basil. Thanks.
Holy Basil is Tulsi plant as we call it in Guyana, i also have several broad leaf thyme but living in new york is doing much damage to it in the winter so i decided to bring it indoors however i don't get much sunlight in my room and i have noticed that the plant is getting brown and the soil has a white kind of mold growing on it, any ideas on how to treat?!
I have a broad leaf thyme plant my neighbor gave me a cutting of and Ive been wondering what to do with it. I found another link that says you can make a thyme (mash it into a paste) lemonade or even a ginger thyme tea by boiling both thyme leaf and ginger together for a few minutes. Komala, Im not sure where you are located but Id be happy to share a cutting of my plant with you if you are in NYC area.
btw, here is the link to the website I found:
Hi ..I got some from my aunt in Florida….now im in the bahamas…I put it in water now the bottom leaves are dying and there are no roots….can I cut off the dying part and replant it In some water,or put it in a pot with dirt????:-(

Top 10 Drivers Of Sprint Cars
When it comes to naming the top ten drivers in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series, things can get subjective. Do you limit it to the current standings and go with the first ten or take a broader perspective, taking into account full careers? Perhaps there is a happy mix. In no special order, combining today's stats with past history along with a dab of subjectivity, here is my list:

National Public Health Week 2014
National Public Health Week (NPHW) is April 7-13, 2014. This year's theme is "Public Health: Start Here." The public health system that keeps our communities healthy and safe is changing as technologies advance, public attitudes toward health shift and more health and safety options become available through policy changes. Let us be your guides to this system, helping our communities navigate the many choices along the way.
Daily Tips & Actions
- Prenatal Care: Give your child a healthy start with proper prenatal care! Babies born three or more weeks earlier than their due date have greater risk of serious disability or even death. The Centers for Disease Control's pregnancy website offers important information about your health before during and after pregnancy. Also, breastfeeding is recommended for at least the first year of a child's life, and exclusively for the first 6 months. Get helpful tips from womenshealth.gov.
- More ways to be healthy from the start.
- Get Ready: As this past winter reminded us, we can all be affected by severe weather emergencies. Taking simple steps now will help you during the next emergency - whether it is natural or man-made. Be Informed. Make a Plan. Build a Kit.
- More ways to prepare yourself and your family for the next emergency.
- Protect the Future You: What is one small change you can make today to make sure you're healthy in 20 years? Check out CDC's Healthy Living section for important information about prevention.
- More information about the importance of prevention.
- Clean. Separate. Cook. Chill. These are the four steps to food safety. Did you know that food poisoning cause an average of 5,000 deaths, 325,000 hospitalizations and 76 million illnesses and costs billions of dollars annually? FoodSafety.gov is a great place to learn how to be food safe at home.
- More ways to promote food safety and healthy diet at home and in your community.
- Public Health is a Community Affair: For the first time in decades, the current generation isn't as healthy as the one that came before. Support public health efforts that create healthy opportunities for all. Educate yourself on current public health issues facing our nation.

Getting wit my good friend and brother mr @2chainz Tommorrow for his part of my tedow video
— S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G(@noreaga) November 25, 2012
With 2 Chainz in town for his B.O.A.T.S. tour, N.O.R.E. took some time to catch up with 2 Chainz in Miami today to wrap up the video shoot for his upcoming single "Tadow", from his forthcoming Student Of The Game album. After shooting scenes with Pusha T in New York last month, N.O.R.E. & 2 Chainz hit the courts for the "hood Olympics" themed video. Take a look at some images captured on the set of the video and stay tuned for the premiere of the song, which we have yet to hear (this is T.R.U.), and video. More images down below.

Data mining, interactive semantic structuring, and collaboration: A diversity-aware method for sense-making in search AbstractWe present the Damilicious method and tool which help users in sense-making of the results of their literature searches on the Web: on an individual level, by supporting the construction of semantics of the domain described by their search term, and on the collective level, by encouraging users to explore and selectively re-use other users' semantics. We use a combination of clustering, classification and interactivity to obtain and apply diverse semantics of thematic areas, and to identify diversity between users. This tool can help users take different perspectives on search results and thereby reflect more deeply about resources on the Web and their meaning. In addition, the method can help to develop quantitative measures of diversity; we propose diversity of resource groupings and diversity of users as two examples.

You have to be careful with those guys, they always try to scam a tip for opening your car door or cleaning your windshield when they are just there to take your parking stub. I see you slipping him a buck in the pic, but...really it just spoils them.

An image of a dress has attracted tens of millions of views online, stirring discussion on how people perceive colour.
The way ministers are now contradicting their Prime Minister indicates a more short term strategy for his removal. Can they really go on playing this game all the way through to July?
When reporting on political matters like Tony Abbott's national security speech, what's the value of the "straight" news report anymore? In the new-media world perhaps subjective reporting can offer more.

The analytical profile index or API is a classification of bacteria based on experiments, allowing fast identification. This system is developed for quick identification of clinically relevant bacteria. Because of this, only known bacteria can be identified.
It was invented in the 1970s in the United States by Pierre Janin of Analytab Products, Inc.[1] Presently, the API test system is manufactured by bioMérieux.[2] The API range introduced a standardized, miniaturized version of existing techniques, which up until then were complicated to perform and difficult to read.
The API 20E/NE fast identification system combines some conventional tests and allows the identification of a limited number of Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae or non-Enterobacteriaceae. The test systems are stored in 21 small reaction tubes, which include the substrates. An identification is only possible with microbiological culture. To guarantee a comparability of different samples, follow the introductions of the manufacturer.
Before starting a test, one must confirm the culture is of an Enterobacteriaceae. To test this, a quick oxidase test for cytochrome c oxidase is performed. Enterobacteriaceae are typically oxidase negative, meaning they either do not use oxygen as an electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, or they use a different cytochrome enzyme for transferring electrons to oxygen. If the culture is determined to be oxidase positive, alternative tests must be carried out to correctly identify the bacterial species.

Geography is a synoptic science that uses the same elements as the other sciences but in a different context. It integrates data spatially, making elaborate use of maps as its special tool. Geography may be studied by way of several interrelated approaches, i.e., systematically, regionally, descriptively, and analytically. The systematic approach organizes geographical knowledge into individual categories that are studied on a worldwide basis; the regional approach integrates the results of the systematic method and studies the interrelationships of the different categories while focusing on a particular area of the earth; the descriptive approach depicts where geographical features and populations are located; the analytical approach seeks to find out why those features are located where they are.
In the study of geography two main branches may be distinguished, physical geography and human (or cultural) geography, originally anthropogeography. The first, based on the physical sciences, studies the world's surface, the distribution, delineation, and nature of its land and water areas. Climate, landforms (see geomorphology), and soil are examined as to origin and are classified as to distribution. Drawing on the biological sciences, fauna and flora (biogeography) are brought into an areal pattern. Through the mathematical sciences the motion of the earth and its relationship to the sun (seasons), the moon (tides), and the planets are studied, as well as mapmaking and navigation.
Human geography places humans in their physical setting; it studies their relationship with that environment as well as their conscious activities and continuous progress in adapting themselves to it (and to other humans) and in transforming their environment to their needs. Human geography may in turn be subdivided into a number of fields, such as economic geography, political geography (with its 20th-century offshoot, geopolitics), social geography (including urban geography, another 20th-century ramification), environmental perception and management, geographical cartography, geographic information systems, and military geography. Historical geography (which reconstructs geographies of the past and attempts to trace the evolution of physical and cultural features) and urban and regional planning are sometimes considered branches of geography.
Geography was first systematically studied by the ancient Greeks, who also developed a philosophy of geography; Thales of Miletus, Herodotus, Eratosthenes, Aristotle, Strabo, and Ptolemy made major contributions to geography. The Roman contribution to geography was in the exploration and mapping of previously unknown lands. Greek geographic learning was maintained and enhanced by the Arabs during the Middle Ages. Arab geographers, among whom Idrisi, Ibn Battutah, and Ibn Khaldun are prominent, traveled extensively for the purpose of increasing their knowledge of the world. The journeys of Marco Polo in the latter part of the Middle Ages began the revival of geographic interest outside the Muslim world.
With the Renaissance in Europe came the desire to explore unknown parts of the world that led to the voyages of exploration and to the great discoveries. However, it was mercantile interest rather than a genuine search for knowledge that spurred these endeavors. The 16th and 17th cent. reintroduced sound theoretical geography in the form of textbooks (the Geographia generalis of Bernhardus Varenius) and maps (Gerardus Mercator's world map). In the 18th cent. geography began to achieve recognition as a discipline and was taught for the first time at the university level.
Modern GeographyThe modern period of geography began toward the end of the 18th cent. with the works of Alexander von Humboldt and Karl Ritter. Thenceforth two principal methods of approach to geography can be distinguished: the systematic, following Humboldt, and the regional, following Ritter. Of the national schools of geography that developed, the German and the French schools were the most influential. The German school, which dealt mainly with physical geography, developed a scientific and analytical style of writing. The French school became known for its descriptive regional monographs presented in a lucid and flowing manner; human and historical geography were its forte. Although emphasis has shifted several times between the approaches and viewpoints, their interdependence is recognized by all geographers.
Since the end of World War II, geography, like other disciplines, has experienced the explosion of knowledge brought on by the new tools of modern technology for the acquisition and manipulation of data; these include aerial photography, remote sensors (including infrared and satellite photography), and the computer (for quantitative analysis and mapping). The quantitative method of geographical research has gained much ground since the 1950s, Edward Ullman and William Garrison of the United States and Peter Haggett of Great Britain being leading exponents.
Important contributions to the advancement of geography and to the development of geographic concepts have been made by Ferdinand von Richthofen, Albrecht Penck, Friedrich Ratzel, Alfred Hettner, Karl Haushofer, and Walter Christaller in Germany; Paul Vidal de la Blache, Jean Brunhes, Conrad Malte-Brun, Elisée Reclus, and Emmanuel de Martonne in France; and William Morris Davis, Isaiah Bowman, Ellen Churchill Semple, Carl O. Sauer, Albert Brigham, and Richard Hartshorne in the United States. Today geography is studied by governmental agencies and in many of the world's universities. Research is stimulated by such noted geographic institutions as the Royal Geographical Society (1830, Great Britain), the American Geographical Society (1852, United States), and the Société de Geographie (1821, France).

Statistical study of human populations, especially with reference to size and density, distribution, and vital statistics. Contemporary demographic concerns include the global birth rates, the interplay between population and economic development, the effects of birth control, urban congestion, illegal immigration, and labour force statistics. The basis for most demographic research lies in population censuses and the registration of vital statistics.

Science of the Earth's surface, which describes and analyzes the spatial variations in physical, biological, and human phenomena that occur on the surface of the globe and treats their interrelationships and their significant regional patterns. Once associated entirely with mapping and the exploration of the Earth, the field today is wide-ranging, and geographers use a variety of methods and techniques drawn from numerous disciplines. Subfields of geography include physical, human, and regional geography, which may range in scale from worldwide to a continent, a country, or a city.

Live cities in bicycle.
Beurriand Laurent
Delepine Florian
We are students in Paris. So since several months we are viewer and user of the Parisian bicycle called "Velib". In only nine months, many Parisians adopted it and it's changing the live in Paris. In that way we thought that the answer was in a global product. We created LUTI, a bike for cities for everyday. Each parts are thought for citizens. People can use it on Sunday, to go to work or for shopping. LUTI will be the principal vehicle for the user because ridding a bike in cities is a better vehicle for health of people and towns.
We redesigned the frame in aluminium sheet to form a box. The box is created to put books, files, or laptop away, in an adapted bag. Around this frame, all the components are designed in a radical way to make a logical work. For us the frame was the starting point, but we also thought about cyclist position, speeds, brakes, lights, logos…
Moreover the aluminium frame and each parts are assembled with rivets.
Each parts can be removed and replaced by a new. The bike can also be dismantle and recycle.
To conclude, we made a prototype to try ourselves the comportment of the bike in Paris. It was an important part of the work because a bike is complicated object, with torsion, traction, flexion… We made three prototypes and LUTI is our final bike with details and finishing.

We consider the problem of nonpreemptively scheduling a set of n jobs with equal processing times on m parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan. Each job has a prespecified set of machines on which it can be processed, called its eligible set. We consider the most general case of machine eligibility constraints as well as special cases of nested and inclusive eligible sets. Both online and offline models are considered. For offline problems we develop optimal algorithms that run in polynomial time, while for online problems we focus on the development of optimal algorithms of a new and more elaborate structure as well as approximation algorithms with good competitive ratios.

'Game of Thrones' returns April 1, and HollywoodLife.com got a sneak peek at the first four episodes!
Bundle up, kids! The winds of winter are blowing in April 1 when Game of Thrones returns to HBO for its second season, and to prevent your brains from totally exploding during the premiere, HollywoodLife.com is here to cushion the blow with a few teasers of what's to come. For those of you who read A Clash of Kings, the second book in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, most of the premiere will seem pretty familiar — and it's just as awesome as you expect it will be.
1. Daenerys' baby dragons are out in full force: Firmly perched on the khaleesi's shoulders like fire-breathing parrots, Deanerys' (Emilia Clarke) dragons are forces to be reckoned with — or at least they will be once they're fully grown. While fans get a solid glimpse of the little guys on the season premiere, they sort of disappear until a little later on, when Daenerys reveals exactly how she plans to use them to her advantage.
2. Stannis Baratheon (aka your new favorite character): Would you expect Stannis Baratheon — brother of the late King Robert and true heir to the Iron Throne — to be anything other than totally bad-ass? Good, because that's exactly what he is. But is Stephen Dillane's character the new Ned Stark in terms of fandom? Almost. I think we can all agree that honor goes to Kit Harrington's Jon Snow.
3. Melisandre (aka your second favorite new character): Known as the "red priestess" in the original book series, Melisandre (Carice van Houten) first appears at the right hand of Stannis on the season premiere, but her motives — both political and sexual — are gradually revealed as the episodes unfold. Trust me, you'll want to keep an eye this one.
4. Joffrey still sucks, but now he's getting punished for it: If you merely disliked Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) in season one, you will absolutely despise him in season two. Power has unsurprisingly gone straight to his head, and everyone suffers as a result — especially poor Sansa (Sophie Turner). Fortunately, not everyone in Westeros feels like putting up with Joffrey's crap, and someone ends up planting a well-deserved slap on the king's pasty little face. Trust me, it's just as fulfilling as when Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) backhanded Joffrey in season one, which you can watch over and over (and over) below:
5. What's really beyond the wall? There's been a whole lot of yammering about the "terrors" lurking beyond the wall, and season two finally gives us a closer look at what's out there. But maybe we should be careful what we wish for, because the dangers are more twisted than any of us could have predicted — and I'm not even talking about the monsters! Jon Snow had better watch his pretty little back.

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand so much approximately this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you just can do with some % to force the message home a bit, but other than that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.

I think Cersei is by far the worst in the story. She cares only for herself and uses her sons for the power of the throne. And even though she shares an incest-ful role with her brother she uses her good looks to persuade anyone while in bed. she disgusts me.. I am on the Feast for crows book and am loving it! The books are great the show is great and I hope that they dont ruin anything on the show :)

After reading the 2nd book in the series I have to say that Tyrion has quickly become one of my favorite characters in this beautiful story. If Season 2 follows the book as closely as Season 1 did then we will get to see a whole new level of depth to him that we were unaware of before.

February 9, 2011
After the blizzards and sub-zero temperatures of the last two months, I'm more than ready for spring. I'm also depressed by the endless gray, cold days filled with intermittent snow storms. So, I'm banishing the blues by doing a few winter chores so I can hit the ground running when the first crocus pop.

Cost: $20.00 per person, food included.
Brown Rice
We make up a large pot about once a week and keep it in the refrigerator. We use 7 cups short grain brown rice to 12 cups water. Boil 15 minutes and turn burner off. Let it sit till all the water is absorbed, about 45 minutes.
Beanie Bowl Casserole
Cream variation: Put onions and tomatoes on top of the beans. Pour a lot of Half n' Half over. Warm covered in microwave. You could put a little extra sharp cheddar on it too.
Put some oil in a wok. When it's heated, add a few cloves of crushed garlic and all the hard veggies. Stir every now and then while they cook with the cover on. Add the quicker cooking veggies when the others are about 1/2 done. Add a little water if is gets too dry. Continue cooking until everything is tender crisp. Add a spoonful of Better than Boullion of whatever flavor you prefer-chicken, beef, pork.
If you want, you can add some fresh ginger at the beginning. You can either grate the root or purchase it in the produce section of the grocery store in a tube so that you can just squeeze out the amount you want. A couple teaspoons is about right for a large wok full. Fresh ginger root can be kept in the freezer and it's easy to grate from the frozen state. You might like to add some soy sauce at the end of cooking.
If you want to thicken the liquid, put a little water in a teacup and add 1-2 tbsp cornstarch. Mix it up well and pour this into the wok while the veggies are boiling. Stir it all and let it cook for about 1 minute.
Take a wrap and spread it with hummus or fat free cream cheese. Sprinkle over any of the following:
Exquisite Enchiladas
Preheat oven to 400 Brown the meat with the garlic in a pan. Mix in the next 6 ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings Grease a 13 x 9" pan Put about 2 tbsp filling in the center of each tortilla. Fold each side to the middle and place seam side down in the baking pan. When the pan is full, pour the sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the cheeses over with the mozzarella on top. Bake for 20 to 30 min, until its melty, golden brown at edges, and smells delicious.
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon into 2 greased pie pans. Top with sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle bread crumbs over tomatoes. Open up one pie crust, lay it out flat, and slice it into ½ inch strips. Unroll these and arrange in a lattice or circular pattern on top of the pies. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour or until well browned. If you want it to cook a little faster, thaw out the frozen vegetables in the microwave and steam or microwave the chopped fresh vegetables until they are about half cooked.
Sauté 10 chicken tenders in 2 tablespoons oil until brown. Remove from skillet. Add to frying pan: 1 heaping teaspoon crushed garlic 1 chopped onion 3 chopped stalks of celery 2 sliced carrots Handful of chopped cilantro Handful of chopped parsley 1 sliced zucchini squash ¾ cups sliced mushrooms (about ½ a package) 1 chopped green pepper
Sauté until almost done, stirring frequently. Add: 1 can coconut milk (not lite) 1 teaspoon curry powder 2 tablespoons fish sauce ¼ teaspoon Adobo seasoning
Bring to boil. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve over rice. Serves 4
We always eat the sushi roll like a hot dog, but the traditional way is to slice it in approximately 1" slices. We like to put lots of filling in and it stays in better if you don't slice it.
We stir it all up. Then we stir in white flour and use that for kneading. Knead until it's like a springy, but not very sticky ball.
Clean, dry, and grease the bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it over. Cover with a plastic bag. In about 30 to 45 minutes the dough will be risen and ready to punch down. Shape into pretzels, rolls, pizza crusts, and loaves. Let rise.
To make something brown 'n serve, bake it at 275 until it's somewhat done, but not at all brown .
Bake everything else at 350. To tell when the bread is done, take the loaf out of the pan and tap it on the bottom. If it is brown and crusty and sounds hollow, it's done.
Mix all ingredients until blended. Store in a jar in refrigerator. Tastes great on vegetables, meat,beans and rice etc.
Sweet n' Salmon Salad
Mix all ingredients. Pour into greased 13x9" pan. Bake at 350 for 45 to 60 minutes or until lightly browned and slightly puffed.
Combine in a blender: 3 cloves garlic 1/4c. sweet onion or scallions 1 bunch parsley (minus stems) 1 bunch cilantro (minus stems) 1tbsp anchovy paste 2tbsp lime juice 3tbsp wine vinegar 1/2c. low fat sour cream 1/2c. yogurt 1/2c. reduced fat mayonnaise salt and pepper to taste Chill thoroughly; it mellows and thickens on standing. Yields approximately 3 cups.
Combine in a blender:
Goddess over multigrain pasta with tomatoes and sardines.
Challah Bread (See picture at top of page.)
Place ingredients in a very large bowl. When yeast is dissolved add:
Stir in 12 – 15 cups flour, until dough holds together. Knead, adding flour as necessary, until smooth and springy. Place in oiled bowl, turn over. Cover with a plastic bag. Let rise until doubled. Punch down, knead in a little more flour if it's too moist to handle. Shape into braided loaves, rolls or any shape. Let rise until when you touch it lightly with you finger it doesn't spring back quickly. Bake at 350 for about 30 to 45 min or until brown and crusty. Brush with butter.
Dump a bag of baby carrots in a bowl. Add a couple tablespoons of olive oil and some fresh or frozen, finely chopped dill if you want. Toss! Place in a covered casserole dish and microwave for 20-30 minutes, or until tender.

Anthony was named NBA Western Conference Player of the Week on Tuesday. It was Anthony's second player of the week honor this season. He's got 10 such awards in his career. Stephen Jackson was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
The Nuggets' star forward averaged 29.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game last week, leading the Nuggets to three wins. He currently leads the NBA in scoring at 30 points per game.
