Common Core Standards: ELA
Grades 9-10
Reading RL.9-10.4
Craft and Structure
RL.9-10.4. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or informal tone).
"Figurative" and "connotative" are two words that almost never come up in conversation - but they stand for two concepts that almost always come up in conversation. Both terms describe words that "stand in" for an image, an idea, or some related concept that is larger than the mere dictionary definition of the word. The figurative and connotative meanings of words, because they imply something larger than themselves, create the feel, meaning, and tone of a text. This is the reason that some words can also evoke a sense of time or place; using words that have obsolete connotations indicates that a text or a piece of dialogue "comes from" some time other than here and now.

Example 1
Sample Activities for Use in Class
1. Personification
"Personification" is a kind of figurative language in which a non-human animal or object is given human qualities.
On a sheet of paper, have each student construct five to ten sentences that use personification. If students are unsure where to begin, you may wish to give them a form or a list of non-human objects and a list of verbs, having the students pick one of each and put them together into sentences. Students should leave two or three empty lines beneath each sentence. Some examples include:
The plates danced on the shelves as the earthquake hit.
The thunder roared its anger across the sky.
I used to have $5.00 in my jeans pocket, but it escaped when I did the laundry last weekend.
Once students have created their sentences, have them switch papers with another student. On their new paper, have each student write, in the space underneath each personification sentence, the thing being personified and what human actions, qualities, or emotions it is said to have.
Example 2
2. Idioms
An "idiom" is an expression that uses words to paint a picture, and not for their literal dictionary meanings. For instance, "it's raining cats and dogs" is an idiom that means "it's raining very hard" – and not "Animals are falling from the sky." All languages have idioms, but not all languages share the same idioms. An idiom in one language may seem very natural to the speakers of that language, but may make no sense at all when it is translated into another language.
For this activity, use an overhead projector, blackboard, or some other means to project each of the following idioms so that the entire class can see it, one at a time. Read or have a student read each idiom, and then have students discuss what they think each one means. You can also have students write down what they think each one means, then "check" the answers with students to see how many guessed correctly.
Sample Idioms in Non-English Languages (translated):
1. I don't have a camel in that caravan. (Arabic)
Meaning: That issue doesn't concern me. (Compare "I don't have a dog in this fight.")
2. Stop ironing my head! (Armenian)
Meaning: Stop bothering me! Used when someone's constant asking or begging for something is becoming a bother.
3. The turtle is shrouded. (Cheyenne)
Meaning: It's foggy out. (Think of the turtle as the earth, covered in a "shroud" of fog.)
4. to walk around hot porridge (Czech)
Meaning: to avoid getting to the point. (Compare: to beat around the bush.)
5. to make something out of wood and paint it red (Estonian)
Meaning: to make something very clear
6. I have other cats to whip! (French)
Meaning: I have other things to do. (Compare: I have other fish to fry.)
7. to have one's eyes lined with ham (Italian)
Meaning: to be unable to see what is directly in sight. (Compare: can't see the forest for the trees)
8. Even monkeys fall from trees. (Japanese)
Meaning: Even experts get it wrong sometimes.
9. to hang noodles on one's ears (Russian)
Meaning: to tell lies or talk nonsense.
10. to put up a beer tent (Turkish)
Meaning: to get married. (Compare: to tie the knot)
Quiz 1 Questions
Here's an example of a quiz that could be used to test this standard.Quiz 2 Questions
Here's an example of a quiz that could be used to test this standard.Questions 1-10 are based on the following excerpt:
"Ladies," said he, turning to his family, "Miss Temple, teachers, and children, you all see this girl?"
Of course they did; for I felt their eyes directed like burning-glasses against my scorched skin.
"You see she is yet young; you observe she possesses the ordinary form of childhood; God has graciously given her the shape that He has given to all of us; no signal deformity points her out as a marked character. Who would think that the Evil One had already found a servant and agent in her? Yet such, I grieve to say, is the case."
A pause--in which I began to steady the palsy of my nerves, and to feel that the Rubicon was passed; and that the trial, no longer to be shirked, must be firmly sustained.
"My dear children," pursued the black marble clergyman, with pathos, "this is a sad, a melancholy occasion; for it becomes my duty to warn you, that this girl, who might be one of God's own lambs, is a little castaway: not a member of the true flock, but evidently an interloper and an alien. You must be on your guard against her; you must shun her example; if necessary, avoid her company, exclude her from your sports, and shut her out from your converse. Teachers, you must watch her: keep your eyes on her movements, weigh well her words, scrutinise her actions, punish her body to save her soul: if, indeed, such salvation be possible, for (my tongue falters while I tell it) this girl, this child, the native of a Christian land, worse than many a little heathen who says its prayers to Brahma and kneels before Juggernaut--this girl is--a liar!"
Now came a pause of ten minutes, during which I, by this time in perfect possession of my wits, observed all the female Brocklehursts produce their pocket-handkerchiefs and apply them to their optics, while the elderly lady swayed herself to and fro, and the two younger ones whispered, "How shocking!" Mr. Brocklehurst resumed.
"This I learned from her benefactress; from the pious and charitable lady who adopted her in her orphan state, reared her as her own daughter, and whose kindness, whose generosity the unhappy girl repaid by an ingratitude so bad, so dreadful, that at last her excellent patroness was obliged to separate her from her own young ones, fearful lest her vicious example should contaminate their purity: she has sent her here to be healed, even as the Jews of old sent their diseased to the troubled pool of Bethesda; and, teachers, superintendent, I beg of you not to allow the waters to stagnate round her."

Orleans Firebirds
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2009) |
The Orleans Firebirds are a collegiate summer baseball team based in Orleans, Massachusetts. The team is a member of the Cape Cod Baseball League and plays in the league's Eastern Division. They were known as the Orleans Cardinals from 1946-2008.
Orleans currently plays its home games at Eldredge Park and has been among the league leaders in attendance in recent years. The Firebirds are owned and operated by the non-profit Orleans Athletic Association,[1] and like other Cape League teams, are funded through merchandise sales, donations, and other fundraising efforts at games such as fifty-fifty raffles.
The Firebirds finished the 2007 season in a third place tie in the Eastern Division with 47 points, only six points away from a playoff berth. Orleans has won two Cape Cod Baseball League Championships in the 21st century, most recently in 2005 when they defeated the Bourne Braves two games to one in the championship series. The team was originally known as the Orleans Cardinals but in October 2008, Orleans announced they would be changing their team name for the 2009 season in response to the licensing agreement between the CCBL and Major League Baseball.
The Pre-Modern Era[edit]
Orleans has fielded a team since the early days of the Cape League. In the final fifteen years of the Pre-Modern Era, Orleans won a total of seven league championships, including back to back titles in 1949 and 1950, and again in 1952 and 1953. Their title in 1957 had been their most recent title up until 1986, when the then-Cardinals broke a nearly thirty year championship drought.
The Modern Era[edit]
The early part of the modern era for the Cardinals were plagued with the team's inability to break through in the playoffs. Despite qualifying for the post-season eleven times between 1967 and 1985, the team was unable to win any league crowns. Orleans made the playoffs four consecutive times from 1969 to 1972, but was eliminated in the semi-finals in 1969 and 1972 and lost in the championship series to the Falmouth Commodores in both 1970 and 1971.
Orleans would fall in the championship series two more times in 1974 and 1981 before finally winning their first title in the modern era in 1986. That year, manager John Castleberry led the Cardinals to the best record in the league in the regular season. Orleans would sweep their semi-final series against the Chatham Athletics and eliminate the two-time defending Cape League champion Cotuit Kettleers two games to none in the championship series.
In the 1990s, Orleans would win another Cape League title in 1993 and make the playoffs on five other occasions. Their Eastern Division Regular Season Championship in 1994 was their only regular season crown until 2002.
Orleans has seen tremendous success in the 21st century, making the championship series three times, and winning the title twice, in 2003 and 2005.[2]
For the 2009 season the team changed its name from the Orleans Cardinals to the Orleans Firebirds, following an agreement between the Cape League and Major League Baseball which stated that if a CCBL team shared a nickname with an MLB team that they would have to obtain their uniforms through a Major League Baseball Properties-licensed vendor. Wanting to maintain their independence and longstanding relationship with local vendors, the Orleans team has changed its name.[3] Although their name is now Firebirds, the fans still cheer "Lets Go Cardinals" at games, and the announcer still says Cardinals a few times every game instead of Firebirds to get the crowd fired up.

WBAN's "Wish List" for 2008 By Sue TL Fox December 22, 2007
(DEC 22) It is time to think about what would make Women's Boxing "Hot" for the year 2008. This is only a "Wish List" and unfortunately reality is that many of these fights will never take place, and/or the boxers who were missing in action, just may not return to the sport---but anyone can have a wish list! First off, we would like to see some of the following fights take place that we feel would be a "Wish List" for not only WBAN, but boxing fans.

The Story
Elote, the Mexican street-food classic, is reimagined with a sophisticated flavor profile involving chipotle, chili and jalapeño peppers, onion and garlic, Parmesan and grits. Shake this subtly spicy, all-natural blend (in a convenient shaker bottle) on an ear of buttered corn to transform it from a simple vegetable to a palate-pleasing gourmet snack. The chefs at Urban Accents also suggest using it to make an easy, zesty dip with grilled corn kernels, lime juice and cream cheese.

Williams Partners Receives Letter of Award to Deliver Gulfstar FPS(TM) for Deepwater Project
TULSA, Okla., May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) announced today that it has received a Letter of Award from Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) to provide production handling services in the Tubular Bells field development located in the eastern deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
Hess, operator of the Tubular Bells field, will utilize Williams Partners' proprietary floating-production system, Gulfstar FPS(TM). Williams Partners expects Gulfstar FPS to be capable of serving as a central host facility for other deepwater prospects in the area.
Williams Partners will design, construct and install its Gulfstar FPS with a capacity of 60,000 barrels of oil per day, up to 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMcf/d) and the capability to provide seawater injection services. The facility is a spar-based floating production system that utilizes traditional three-level topsides mated to a classic spar hull. This standard design approach will allow customers to reduce their cycle time from discovery to first oil.
Williams Partners has issued a Letter of Award to Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc., through its subsidiary Gulf Marine Fabricators, to construct the hull portion of the Gulfstar FPS in Corpus Christi, Texas. Williams Partners expects to select and award the topsides portion of the Gulfstar FPS to a Gulf Coast fabricator, making this the first spar-based floating production system to be built entirely in the U.S. Gulf Coast area.
"Gulfstar is intended to be another tool that deepwater producers can deploy for field developments that utilize proven and reliable wet-tree technology," said Rory Miller, president of Williams Partners' midstream business. "This Gulfstar project expands our deepwater export, gathering and production handling business in the Gulf.
"This agreement demonstrates the value that deepwater producers place on reducing cycle time and costs. It also reflects the commercial benefit of our reputation for reliability – both in our deployment of innovative solutions and in our operations. We are delivering a solution that has positive, meaningful bottom-line impact for producers," Miller said.
Williams Partners owns and operates significant oil and gas gathering and processing assets both onshore and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The partnership's assets in the Gulf region include approximately 800 miles of onshore and offshore natural gas gathering pipelines with a combined capacity of approximately 3.7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), four deepwater crude oil pipelines with a combined length of nearly 400 miles and capacity of 475 million barrels per day (MMbbls/d), two onshore processing plants with a combined inlet capacity of 1.2 Bcf/d, and two offshore production platforms with a combined capacity of 710 MMcf/d of natural gas and 60 MMbbls/d of oil.
About Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ)
Williams Partners L.P. is a leading diversified master limited partnership focused on natural gas transportation; gathering, treating, and processing; storage; natural gas liquid (NGL) fractionation; and oil transportation. The partnership owns interests in three major interstate natural gas pipelines that, combined, deliver 12 percent of the natural gas consumed in the United States. The partnership's gathering and processing assets include large-scale operations in the U.S. Rocky Mountains and both onshore and offshore along the Gulf of Mexico. Williams (NYSE: WMB) owns approximately 75 percent of Williams Partners, including the general-partner interest. More

Old-World Kitchens
Pair European designs with modern elements to produce an Old World kitchen style.
By: Caroline Shannon-Karasik
The Old World kitchen is often the design of choice for homeowners who appreciate intricate moldings, hand-carved details, dark wood floors and rustic charm. The hallmark of a European-influenced style is a touch of elegance balanced by a fresh mix of various design elements.
Make a grand statement by designing an Old World kitchen that pairs worn, distressed cream-white cabinetry with dark wood floors and slate-gray granite countertops. Design an island made from worn light-blue wood to stand as the centerpiece of the kitchen. Accent it with a fancy chandelier that has electric lighting made to look like candles.
Another design concept is the pairing of medium-toned wood cabinets with creamy granite countertops and a kitchen island made from a wood that matches the cabinets. Try matching this design with a neutral-toned checkerboard marble flooring.
While various elements of an Old World kitchen are heavy and dark, modern pops of yellows and greens will blend with the overall design while keeping the room bright and appealing. The ultimate key to achieving this kitchen design is in the details—each Old World kitchen design is distinct because of the attention paid to every nook and cranny in the space.

The effect of gestational age and labour on markers of lipid and protein oxidation in cord plasma. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15104212 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
There are many potential sources of reactive oxidants around the time of birth and pre-term infants are considered to be particularly vulnerable to oxidative injury. To gain insight into these processes, we have measured biomarkers of lipid and protein oxidation in umbilical cord plasma and related concentrations to mode of delivery and gestational age. Protein carbonyls were measured by ELISA and malondialdehyde (MDA) by HPLC after reaction with thiobarbituric acid, for 54 pre-term (< or = 36 weeks gestational age) and 43 term infants. Protein carbonyls were significantly lower in pre-term (median for < 32 weeks gestational age 0.048nmol/mg protein) than in term infants (0.105 nmol/mg, p = 0.004), and were unrelated to mode of delivery. In contrast, MDA concentrations were higher in the very pre-term (<32 weeks gestation) group (2.47 compared with 1.83 microM for term infants, p < 0.0001). MDA concentrations were higher in infants who were born with labour compared with elective caesarean section. Pre-eclampsia in the mother was associated with higher cord blood MDA concentrations. The MDA results are consistent with other studies of this marker and could be interpreted as indicating increased oxidative stress associated with prematurity and labour. However, the lower protein carbonyls in pre-term infants would lead to an opposite interpretation. More information is needed on the source and fate of these and other biomarkers before drawing strong conclusions on how they reflect oxidative stress in this and other clinical situations. |

IBISWorld Shows Ready-To-Drink Tea Consumption Increases
The Ready-To-Drink (RTD) Tea Production industry produces tea beverages that are packaged and ready for consumption. IBISWorld Industry Analyst Jocelyn Phillips said in a prepared statement, "Robust product development and the expansion of these new product lines into new markets have driven revenue industry growth in the past five years." Though a discretionary good, RTD tea was perceived as an affordable luxury during the recession and as such, did not suffer much from macroeconomic pressures on demand. Accordingly, industry revenue is expected to increase an annualized 6.1 percent over the five years to 2014, including a 3.3 percent jump in 2014 to $5.3 billion. Average industry profit margins also remained high during this period, particularly as tea prices plummeted to an all-time low in 2013.
Tea, which is high in compounds that may boost the metabolism and fight cancer, according to the release, has benefited greatly from increased consumer health consciousness in recent years. RTD tea may particularly benefit from this trend as it has increasingly gained market position in convenience stores and vending machines, where it can more easily function as a lower-calorie, more natural alternative to sodas and other RTD beverages. As per capita soft drink consumption continues to fall and consumers seek healthier substitute beverages, RTD tea producers will likely experience increased demand and revenue growth.
Barriers to entry are high for the RTD tea industry, with high market share concentration leading to strong price competition and market domination by well-established brand names. Nonetheless, robust revenue growth has encouraged new companies to enter the RTD Tea Production industry in recent years, further contributing to the overall level of competition. "The trend toward health consciousness, coupled with this increased competitive pressure, will further drive new product development in the next five years, which will in turn drive industry demand," said Phillips. As consumers fully recover from the recession and disposable income rises, IBISWorld expects industry revenue to grow in the next five years. However, average industry profit margins will likely fall as the prices of major inputs (such as tea and sugar) are projected to increase during the next five years.
The RTD Tea Production industry is expected to have a medium level of market share concentration in 2014. The top four major players in the industry are: Arizona Beverage Company, Unilever, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. and Nestle SA. The industry is becoming more fragmented as new competitors enter the industry. Market share concentration has thus steadily declined over the five years to 2014.

Rayleigh-Gans scattering approximation: surprisingly useful for understanding backscattering from disk-like particles
Optics Express, Vol. 15, Issue 9, pp. 5572-5588 (2007)

Recent computations of the backscattering cross section of randomly-oriented disk-like particles (refractive index, 1.20) with small-scale internal structure, using the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA), have been repeated using the Rayleigh-Gans approximation (RGA). As long as the thickness of the disks is approximately 20% of the wavelength (or less), the RGA agrees reasonably well quantitatively with the DDA. The comparisons show that the RGA is sufficiently accurate to be useful as a quantitative tool for exploring the backscattering features of disk-like particles with complex structure. It is used here to develop a zeroth-order correction for the neglect of birefringence on modeling the backscattering of detached coccoliths from E. huxleyi.

Jun 9, 2013In the end, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel is a boring, meatheaded slog through about ten or so hours of predictable situations and sub par dialogue, and if someone told me that the development team had simply been handed a bit of cardboard with the words "sink this series" emblazoned across it as a design document, I'd believe it without hesitation.
May 13, 2013There's no creativity here, no passion. What's more, developers decided to leave out most of the interesting elements from the previous games of the series. [CD-Action 06/2013, p.66]
May 8, 2013The lack of challenge only adds to the boredom. In every way, Army Of Two: The Devil's Cartel is an embarrassment to videogames...Not just boring, but exactly the kind of 'violence for violence's sake' dross the anti-videogame lobbyists dredge up at the arrival of each new atrocity.
Apr 30, 2013If I had to sum up The Devil's Cartel in a few words, I'd say it's all style and no substance. Whereas its predecessors at least tried to be mildly entertaining, this entry has no problem tossing waves of faceless goons at you until you either mow them all down and proceed to the next level or give up and play something else. With this game, I recommend choosing the latter.
Apr 19, 2013The third adventure of Army of Two is the weakest of the series, sending the player on a cliche-ridden journey through a boring Mexican landscape. Even in co-op, the gameplay is often monotone, focusing on all to familiar action with weak AI.
Apr 5, 2013Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel is a prime example of a series that has a lot in its way. Nothing here drives the experience forward, and instead leaves most of what makes it special behind.
Apr 4, 2013In the end, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel has nothing to do with the previous two entries, does little to invite gamers back, and does even less to really excite anyone for a future title.
Apr 3, 2013The original Army of Two really wasn't that bad. This seems like an unnecessary reboot sent to die halfway through the development cycle when EA realized it was going to be a sh.tty game anyway.
Apr 2, 2013Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel is an underwhelming third-person shooter that is a clearly a half-hearted cash-grab by Electronic Arts. If you're looking for a game in this genre, I suggest you turn to Gears of War or any number other titles of this ilk. Seriously, this game isn't worth your time. It isn't broken, it just isn't good either.
Apr 2, 2013It's simply baffling that it manages to make so many mistakes within such a well-worn template.
Mar 28, 2013Buggy, unnecessary, and outstays its welcome before the credits close...Army of Two has never been an especially bad series, it's just never been an especially good one. The Devil's Cartel is the ultimate example of this. Is it bad? Not especially. But it's a far, far cry from good.

Aardvark Pattern
This listing is for my Aardvark knitting pattern, he is one of my favourite patterns and will only be avaliable for sale for a limited time as he will be published in my book soon and then he will be delisted from my shop:) He is a sweet fella. Aardvarks live in Sub-Sahara Africa on the grasslands and bushland, they are solitary creatures and are noctournal. Their closest relatives are the elephant shrew and elephant and they eat mainly termites and have a keen sense of smell.
Measurements when knitted: Approx 9 inches from muzzle to tail and 6 and a half inches tall.
This pattern is knitted flat with two 4mm / 6 US needles and is knitted in stocking stitch, there are increases and decreases. A fairly easy pattern.
The pattern is 7 pages long with detailed instructions and photos and if there is anything that is not clear you can always email me:)
Thank you so much for visiting my shop and have a lovely day:)
Please note, this pattern is for personal use only, and not for resale, items knitted from this pattern may not be sold for commercial purposes, thank you.

The room did not correspond with our booking, we asked to have what we payed for, instead we had a free parking (which cost 20 zl), for the night, but there was no one at night to monitor the outdoor parking... The area where is the hostel is quite bad, there is NOTHING (to eat, to buy stuffs, to have a drink...) ! But, the room was clean.

Nine injured in Kansas Turnpike crash
The Kansas Turnpike Authority says nine people from Amarillo, Texas, were injured when the passenger van they were in crashed on the Kansas Turnpike.
Two of the people hurt in the accident Sunday near the Towanda Service area are reported in in critical condition.
The authority says the van carried four men, four women and a 2-month-old girl when it went out of control and overturned after one of the tires lost its tread and the driver slammed on the brakes.
The authority says eight people were taken to Wichita hospitals and another drove to the hospital.

This is a busy, curious dog; she is happiest when she is the center of attention. She loves to play and clown and is affectionate with her family, children, strangers, other dogs and pets, basically everyone! The Havanese is willing to please and learn easily, but she tends to be vocal.
Although energetic, the Havanese can have her exercise needs met with a short walk or a good play session. She is not a dog that can live outside. Coat care entails brushing two to four times a week. This is a nonshedding dog, which means that loose hairs are caught in the outer hairs, tending to tangle, unless they are combed out.
Major concerns: none
Minor concerns: patellar luxation
Occasionally seen: PRA, otitis externa, cataract
Suggested tests: knee, eye
Life span: 12-14 years
