Grade Level: Kindergarten to 2nd; Type: Physical Science
This classic children's game will demonstrate sound's ability to travel through air vs. through a piece of string.
When you talk to a friend, your voices travel from your mouths through the air (a gas) to each other's ears. What happens when you connect your mouths and ears with a piece of string (a solid)?
- Two paper or plastic cups (small yogurt containers are durable)
- Scissors
- String
- Masking tape
- A friend
- Using the point of the scissors, poke a hole in the middle of the bottom of each cup. (Depending on your age, it may be better to have an adult do this step.)
- Stand a few feet away from a friend and talk to each other in normal (not yelling) voices.
- Keep moving apart until you can no longer hear each other.
- Hold one of the cups up to your mouth and speak into it while your friend listens into the other. Now can you hear each other?
- Next cut a length of string long enough to stretch the distance between you and your friend when you could no longer hear each other.
- Poke the ends of the string through the holes in the bottoms of the cups (poke it upwards through the bottom) and tape the ends securely to these bottoms.
- Hold onto one cup, have your friend hold onto the other, and walk away until the string is taut (pulled straight, not sagging).
- Talk into one cup while your friend holds the other cup over her ear. (Remember to keep the string taut.) Switch. Now can you hear each other through the cups? (Remember to move the cups from your mouths to your ears and back depending on if you're listening or speaking.) Why do you think attaching the cups with the string allows you to hear each other?
- More fun with this project!: Try it with longer and longer pieces of string. How far apart can you get and still have the "phone" work? Try different widths/types of string. What happens if you use different sizes, shapes, materials of cups? What if someone grabs onto the string while you're talking?
Terms/Concepts: sound travels, solid, gas

Red Arrows cancel display, as Air Malta shows new colours
The eagerly awaited Red Arrows were forced to cancel their appearance at the Malta International Airshow yesterday due to technical problems.
The famous Royal Air Force aerobatic team was still grounded in Sardinia last night as its aircraft underwent repairs.
Malta Aviation Society president Joe Ciliberti said six of the jets had problems with their oxygen systems which was making it difficult for the pilots to breathe.
According to Mr Ciliberti, one of the pilots and a mechanic were in hospital with respiratory problems yesterday.
The Red Arrows have confirmed they will be not be able to attend the airshow today either.
"We are deeply disappointed at not being able to take part in the Malta International Airshow; however, safety is always paramount," the Red Arrows said on their website.
Mr Ciliberti said organisers were extremely saddened that the Red Arrows could not take part, "but the other displays more than made up for it".
Helped by fine weather, Mr Cilberti said more people attended the show yesterday than last year's Saturday show.
The highlight was an aerial display by a Spitfire, which will be performing again today. An RAF Hawk also gave a solo display yesterday.
Attendees got their first look at Air Malta's new aircraft livery, when an Air Malta Airbus A320 in the new colours opened this year's flying display with a flypass over runway 23/05.
The aircraft, operating flight KM 070, flew to Malta immediately after being repainted in the new livery. The flight number was chosen to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the award of the George Cross to Malta that is being commemorated this year.
Mr Cilberti said extra displays had been scheduled for today to make up for the absence of the Red Arrows.
The airshow also features RAF Typhoons and Tornados, a NATO AWACS, a Hercules and a Libyan Air Force Chinook helicopter. This is the first timepost-Gaddafi Libya is taking part in an airshow.
Gates are open today from 10am till 5.30pm. The aerial display starts at 1.30pm.

Hello friends. Last weekend I attended another wonderful Stamp Camp hosted by Southside Stampers Inc. I went to my first Stamp Camp three years ago and was immediately hooked by the fun, creative atmosphere and a shared enthusiasm for stamping and papercrafting with a room full of lively ladies. And this year was no different. I might even go so far as to say it was even better! And the Brookfield venue and staff are a big part of what makes the camp an experience to remember. Especially the kitchen staff. Yummy, edible food at every meal. I wanted for nothing.
Sorry folks, blurry people photos. They just don't stay still like my other subjects do, lol. I know I took photos towards the latter part of the camp and I'm now looking at their table and wondering how they kept themselves so organized. Next year I'll have to take a comparison photo of my desk next year as I'm sure mine look like a giant rat had moved in and made nesting material out of all my stuff.
More fun being had on the other side of the room. I took some time during the weekend to go and have a peek at what everyone gets up to at their desks. There are some seriously talented women in this craft group and it was a real treat to be able to talk with them about what they were making. Most of my interactions are via the web, so to have this opportunity to connect with crafters like this was a blessing.
The camp organizers arrange for two workshops over the weekend, and this liitle concertina fold note book by Linda, was the first project. I got to work with actetate sheets for this one which was a first for me. I used my booklet as a memory/autograph record of those who attended this year. A treasured keepsake of the weekend.
The second workshop, by Ness, was making this fun Christmas canvas. I have it sitting on small easel which I see as soon as I walk in my room. I'm not going to wait til Christmas to put it out. This was my first time at creating on a canvas, and I'm sure it won't be the last. The crazy randomness of using the edge punches for a tattered look was right up my inspiration ally. And I got to have a play with a selection of embellishments. Long time readers will know that those tricky things are quite a challenge for me, but I gave it my best shot.
The Lucky Door Prize table looked amazing with all the gifts decorated with a handmade flower from Evie. I fell in love with this pretty one which was attached to this die.
This year the camp shop was run by Photo Continental. Thanks to Tina and Linda for putting together a great shop. I found a couple of things I needed. The shop was very generous with showbags for everyone who made a purchase as well as putting together some great prize packages for our challenge.
I was asked to do a demo of gelatin printing. I bought to camp my own homemade gelatin plate to do my demo and then afterwards we had a little play with the commercially purchased Gelli Arts Plate. It was interesting to see and feel the difference between the two. (I tried to take photos for a step thru but I missed some keys photos of the process so I'll try again another day). Amanda also did a couple of demos thru out the weekend which are always great to see.
I tried my hand at the challenge pack which required us to use these chipboard coasters in some way along with a selection of embellishments and papers. I turned mine into a calender and I decided to make it into a gift for my mother. I had a go at using charms and pins for this creation and it was fun adding these tiny bits of decoration. And it seems a lot of others liked what I made as I won the veiwers choise vote with this challenge and took home a fantastic prize package of goodies from Photo Continental.
Sadly I didn't get any photos of our Nursery Rhyme dress-up night, Some of the costumes were very well thought out and there was a lot of cheering and laughter at our silliness. I went as Mary Mary Quite Contrary.
Thankyou to the committee organizers, Evie, Kay and Amanda for pulling together another wonderful Stamp Camp. And thankyou to all who came up and said they loved their little name tags I made. It was a pleasure for me to be able to give back to something that gives so much to me. I thoroughly enjoyed my whole weekend experience reconnecting with you all.

text: Home > Medical > HIV/Aids > Management of HIV/Aids Updated 25 June 2014 HIV – not a death sentence "HIV is a life sentence, but it's not necessarily a death sentence." These words by Aids activist Pieter-Dirk Uys were echoed at a media conference that had encouraging news. 0 iStock "HIV is a life sentence, but it's not necessarily a death sentence." These words by Aids activist Pieter-Dirk Uys were echoed at a recent media conference that had an encouraging message on how thousands of HIV-positive South Africans are living healthy, productive lives. In fact, South Africans have several good reasons to be optimistic about the country's future regarding the pandemic. "People don't have to die of Aids anymore… I've seen how hundreds and thousands of people have turned their lives around," Dr Margie Hardman, who established the Acts Community Clinic in Mpumalanga, told media representatives. Hardman was one of the speakers at the conference, hosted by the Health Products Association of Southern Africa, which was held in Cape Town. Simple steps such as establishing good treatment facilities, providing home care in conditions of extreme poverty and neglect, and offering support groups have helped many people in the Mpumalanga area to overcome HIV/Aids-related obstacles. But, according to experts attending the conference, more needs to be done to address the challenges by which this country is confronted in the face of a pandemic that's claiming 1 000 South African lives every day. The role of nutrition Much of Hardman's talk centred on the role of nutrition. This topic has recently sparked controversy, mostly due to the activities of controversial vitamin salesman Matthias Rath and statements made by Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang regarding the role of vegetables in the treatment of HIV/Aids. According to Hardman, more education is needed in terms of nutrition basics: people should learn how to distinguish between healthy foods and unhealthy ones. The fact that good nutrition isn't necessarily synonymous with high cost should be emphasised. "You don't have to buy fancy foods," Hardman says, noting that there should rather be a shift back to the more traditional African diet, rich in legumes, fruit and vegetables. In addition, the micronutrient intake of people living with HIV/Aids should be addressed, as many vitamins and minerals help to boost immune function. Micronutrients most likely to be low in African diets are vitamin A, folic acid, the B-vitamins, vitamin C, iron and zinc. Special attention should be given to the inclusion of these. Furthermore, selenium is being researched as playing a critical role in HIV/Aids, Hardman says. She explains that low blood selenium levels are linked to higher death rates and that levels of this nutrient are generally low in African soil. This puts people on this continent at risk for selenium deficiency. The bigger treatment picture Hardman emphasises, however, that nutrition should merely form part of the bigger treatment picture. Antiretrovirals (ARVs) also have a crucial role to play. The good news is that HIV-positive people, who have relatively high CD4 counts and low viral loads, can often remain healthy for many years without using ARVs. The key is to incorporate nutritional supplements, as well as a balanced lifestyle, into the treatment regime, Hardman says. According to her, it's now also possible to prevent HIV infection in all babies born to HIV-positive mothers. In fact, none of the babies born to HIV-positive mothers at the Acts Community Clinic are infected with the virus. These positive messages coincide with the recent presentation of the draft National Strategic Plan for HIV/Aids and STIs for 2007 – 2007 to the National Health Council. One of the aims of the Plan is to achieve a 50% reduction in the rate of new HIV infections by 2011. Another is to provide an appropriate package of treatment, care and support services to at least 80% of people living with HIV and their families by the same year. – (Carine van Rooyen, May 2007, Health24) Read more: Aids orphan takes on world What to Read Next {{item.title}} Read Health24's Comments Policy Comment on this story 0 comments Comments have been closed for this article.

FORMER Wales captain Ryan Giggs has been backed by his manager Sir Alex Ferguson to continue for another year at Manchester United.
Giggs, named as captain for Wednesday night's FA Cup tie against West Ham, delivered a virtuoso display in the Old Trafford contest as United set up a fourth-round home clash with Fulham on January 26.
And referring to the 39-year-old Welshman after the game, Ferguson said: "He will play for another year.
"There are no signs of tiredness or weakness in his game, his quality is still there, he has fantastic balance and he has appetite for it.
"He is just an incredible human being."
Despite the brilliance of Giggs – particularly when he moved out wide in the closing stages – United laboured to a 1-0 victory thanks to the returning Wayne Rooney's early goal.
Gallery: Ryan Giggs in the 90s
The tie fuelled a feeling that Dutch striker Robin van Persie is a player United cannot afford to be without if they are to realise their silverware ambitions this term given the striker was granted a rare rest.
With 21 goals to his name already – and 10 in his past 10 appearances – the 29-year-old has made a phenomenal start to life at Old Trafford following his £24m move from Arsenal.
The Dutchman has earned warm praise from his new boss, who is not just delighted by the contribution van Persie has made on the field, but also the example he has set with his professionalism off it.
However, Ferguson is anxious not to increase the belief that without van Persie, United are a shadow of themselves.
"I don't go along with the idea we have become a one-man team," said Ferguson.
"There was a time in our history when one man did carry us for a while.
"Eric Cantona kept us in contention with his goals when a few others were off the boil.
"But things are quite different now, Javier Hernandez has weighed in with 12 goals while Wayne Rooney is currently on nine.
"Two defenders, Johnny Evans and Patrice Evra, have chipped in with eight between them so it doesn't stand up to see us as a one-man band overly dependent on van Persie, brilliant as he has been at both making and taking goals."
Yet Ferguson can hardly deny the claim of Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini that van Persie is presently making the difference in this season's title battle.
"He is absolutely relishing his new challenge," he said.
"He is the right player, at the right club, at the right time.
"He has a winning mentality, but as he points out, it is one that goes right through the squad and one that will hopefully see us push on in both league and the cups and successfully navigate what is a busy and challenging period."
What United's cannot afford to keep doing this season if they are to be successful is keeping missing penalties.
Rooney's late miss from the spot against the Hammers leaves United with a record of four penalties scored and five missed for the season so far/
Ferguson said: "I don't think it is just one of those things. I think we have to improve at that.
"If you get a penalty kick, really... there has been talk about (the good penalty record of) Rickie Lambert at Southampton. That is what taking penalty kicks is about.
"There have been several great examples over the years – (former Southampton midfielder) Matthew Le Tissier scoring 47 out of 48.
"A penalty kick is your opportunity to take advantage of a foul or a handball or whatever and score a goal."

There were four MSF's in this collection total, and I purchased three of them. These are unique because they have consist of two colors: an outer ring and a gemstone looking design in the middle. This is nice because you get three shades in each MSF (outer, inner, mixed).
Semi Precious Rose Quartz is a warm pink outer ring with a golden center.
Semi Precious Crystal Pink is an icy pink outer ring with a bronzy pink center. I felt like this one looked way better on my skin than I could ever imagine it being in the pan. If you go by this one, swatch it. You might be surprised!
Did you get anything from the Semi Precious Collection?

text: PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Coal Alliance today called for federal regulators to allow states some flexibility in developing emission standards in order to strike an appropriate balance between environmental improvements and economic concerns. John Pippy, alliance CEO, said Pennsylvania is one of several energy-producing states that will be disproportionately harmed if regulators impose emission standards that are not attainable with current technology. His comments came during a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "listening session." Pippy said 300 coal-fired power plants in 33 states already have been forced to close, and taking coal entirely out of the nation's energy mix would have a negative impact on employment, the economy, electricity prices and the reliability of the power grid. He noted that the coal industry supports nearly 42,000 jobs and contributes $7 billion annually to the economy in Pennsylvania. Taxes on mining jobs generate $700 million annually at the federal, state and local levels, he said. "Ironically, the recently proposed EPA carbon emission standards will do little to curb carbon emissions globally, since developing countries such as China and India burn many times more coal than the U.S. and will continue to do so, to the detriment of U.S. competitiveness," Pippy said. He called on the federal government to work collaboratively with energy stakeholders, as the government did with the auto industry in order to improve fuel efficiency and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. In addition to providing states with some flexibility in developing emission standards, Pippy said a reasoned approach to environmental and energy policies would not interfere with the generation of affordably priced, reliably generated electricity. Moreover, the standards should not cause additional plant closures, and they should remove barriers to energy efficiency at power plants, which enable reductions in emissions.

I uploaded the template .. have some questions.
1. template will be translated into other languages??, such as Russian
2. where I can find the settings in the template, those ready-made options, which are presented here as a demo?
3. I do not have any font from Google Fonts

I am really confused about how to use sidebars, am i missing something?
On the page builder, there is the option to use sidebars but remains greyed out, there is no instructions in the documentation in how to create sidebars (none that I can find at least). I managed to build a template in v1 for a sidebar but going back to add in V2… completely missing?
Looking at others who have asked about sidebar functionality, some have had similar issues.
Otherthan that great theme but this is driving me bonkers!
Hi, Seems like your sidebar is broken, some invalid string coming along maybe. Create a ticket on our support system and provide us some wordpress and ftp credentials so we can fix that for you.
I had already posted a support ticket, I have just updated it with the logins
We'll get to it as soon as we can. Thansk!
I do not like to have to style the width and other features of each page on the administration panel. How do you edit the CSS in one place for all pages to stop wasting time?
How do I turn the page builder off? It is very slow and annoying to work with.
The theme does not allow a child theme. How do I fix that???!!!!!!!!
1. We'll try to include some options to set the defaults.
2. No way to do that, try using google chrome for it, works smooth on my end
3. Can you create a ticket for this one on our support system?
Thanks and sorry for the delay we're still no fulltime here and some pretty full last weeks.
Dear team! Reply!
Working on it, sorry for the delay we're still no fulltime here and some pretty full last weeks.
Hello support. Please advise when Ticket #133082 will be answered. Its been some time now (10 days) since reply. thanks
Sorry for the delay we're still no fulltime here and some pretty full last weeks. Doing my best to catch up
any plans to update to WP 3.8?
It should work with 3.8, did you find something wrong with it?
Hi, I want to set the header text in css to a specific size/position, rather than having to adjust it each time within the modules, so that whenever someone adds header text to a page, my default custom setting will work. How do I do that? I've tried customizing the .text_header.line_none but because each page can be modified, it takes on whatever is put in the front-end module page builder. Thanks!
Can you create a ticket on our support system for this one? Sorry for the inconvinience and sorry for the delay we're still no fulltime here and some pretty full last weeks.
Hi there, I want to buy this theme. I know that this theme will be updated soon. Specifically, when is the next update schedule?
It shouldnt' be later than mid february, thanks for the interest
Hello, I want to buy this theme, however does it word with Wordpress 3.8? I've heard that 3.7 is easier to hack.
Also if I were to purchase now, and a month later the updated version comes out, do you still get that also?
Sorry for the delay.
Yes it should work with wordpress 3.8, and yes the updated version should come up mid february and if you buy now you get access to any future update
Hello, I uploaded the template, and it doesn't work at all. I chose to import the creative demo. When I go to my website (www.alexispineau.com), the loading doesn't work, there's just a black screen, nothing happens. I installed it on wordpress 3.8. Is it compatible? I'm really dissapointed, and hope you'll can help me soon.
It seems to be working fine now, good looking also
Let me know if you got it sorted and sorry for the delay
Hello, I bought this theme, from another account. The install seemed to go pretty well but, when I enter the site it keeps refreshing the first page, over and over again. Sometimes I get to see a little of the theme before it refreshes. It's the same on, 3.5.2 , 3.7 ,3.8. In the error log it says something like this:
shortcodes/shortcodes.php on line 1700, referer: http://www.site.ro/ Sat Jan 18 01:54:41 2014 [client 195.60.xxx.xx] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /public/website/videoedit.ro/wp-content/themes/essenza/plusquare_admin/config-shortcodes/shortcodes.php on line 1697, referer: http://www.site.ro/ Sat Jan 18 01:54:41 2014 [client 195.60.xxx.xx] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /public/website/videoedit.ro/wp-content/themes/essenza/plusquare_admin/config-
Which version of essenza are you using, also can you comment with the other account then?
Thanks and sorry for the delay
Hello, Really nice theme. I had some queries before buying,
1. Can I have the logo centered
2. Can the page menu be center aligned under the logo
3. Can the portfolio filter be always open and center aligned under the page menu, instead of bottom corner.
4. Can the thumbnails have white border between them.
5. Can the mouseover text on the thumbnails be on the same thumbnail instead of teh adjacent one, and the effect be fade in and out instead of sliding. Also can it be black text against white background.
I have some very specific look in my mind for my site, hence being so particular. let me knw if it is possible to customize your theme into looking like this http://i41.tinypic.com/2s1uaex.jpg
Thanks and regards
awaiting your reply
Answering to your questions:
1. Unfortunately not, as there wouldn't be a good position for the menu with that setup
2. Same as above I'm afraid but will take in mind
3. It can be positioned where you want in the screen, but it'll have always the open and close behaviour
4. Which thumbnails? the portfolio ones?
5. Same as above, but assuming you're talking about the portfolio thumbnails yes, you can customize everything you mentioned
Couldn't open the link, it's broken.
Sorry for the delay mate been having some busy days.
Thanks for your reply.Here is the link i posted earlier. http://s4.postimg.org/4u0td1zxp/Untitled_1.jpg
I have this particular look in mind, is it posible to achieve it using your theme or will it need custom css. If custom, will you be able to help with same?
Also the portfolio filter, what i meant was to can i have its defualt state as open instead of closed?
Unfortunately a negative answer for both.
But added it to whishlist for a future update
OK, 14 days agoo i have buy this theme, but still i can't use because u need to fix some bug. I need to use this theme NOW!!! c'mon guys!!
Tell me what i have to do, or i want a refund!!!!!!! B3rto
Hi Roberto, unfortunately we're still not working fulltime here, I really get frustrated for not having time to get some bugs worked out but will start to get more time now, so never more than mid february new version coming up
Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the delay
Just one pre-sale question…
Is there a way to add intro text to your Creative Demo (http://essenza.plusquare.pt/creative/)? Similar to what you did to your Corporate and Personal Demo?
Yes it is
Sorry for the delay.
Got the Same problem like ac3d said.
The site keeps refreshing and refreshing in an endless loop when using WpEngine as my hosting plan. No plugins active. Fresh install.
Allready created 1,2,3 tickets regarding this but without any response from your side.
I would like to switch the website to WpEngine this week but without this issue getting solved i see no chance on it.
Its frustrating, on my current hosting it works too but its slow loading and thats why i want to move asap.
Support of WpEngine told me that this might has something to do with PHP Sessions and that they cant find anything while looking at the webservers log files.
Anybody knows what to do here?
I'm not familiar with wpEngine, but will try to get to the tickets as soon as i can.
I'm really interested in getting this theme – I've just noticed that on some browsers it doesn't work as well, for instance IE8 and general PC's. Will this be fixed in the next update?
Yes we have that top priority for next update
Do you know when that will be?
Never later than mid february, thanks so much for your patience, just a very busy time for us as we're not fulltime here still.
Jesus, support… Whats going on?
Busy busy days, we'll get everything smooth again mid february with a new version also.
Sorry for the delays in the meantime
I love this theme! and recently just got my site up! I really don't want to waste more time in buying and tweeking another theme. I read your comments and understand that you're behind and are basically in a shithole right now … but it's been almost a week, and these issues are really affecting my brand and sales. PLEASE At least just tell me when you think you'll be able to get to my ticket.
Hi, we'll be more free from 11th of February, so from that date on we'll have an update coming along, and also better support time of course
First of all, thank you for this amazing theme. Now, I have a question. I'm trying to use the image-button shortcode but adding text on the first image. Is this possible. Thanks for all.
Hi, thanks!
Unfortunately no, but added it to the wishlist.
Regards and sorry for the delay
Thank you. I'll be waiting for this.
Hi Guys,
Apologies for late in support. We are down due to some technical problems in our side.
You guys now create a support ticket in http://plusquare.ticksy.com and we are trying reply asap, also replying to the older tickets asap. we won't leave you alone

Hanukkah is as much a celebration of friendship as it is of the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days.
"We light candles with family and friends, say a little prayer, it's not a very religious holiday, eat latkes, sometimes have jelly doughnuts, usually eat things fried in oil," said Rita Skolnick of the Wagner Jewish Community Center.
Skolnick circled around a dozen or so booths on Sunday during the center's annual Hanukkah Market, where hundreds of people ate traditional foods and bought gifts. The market has occurred in one form or another for about 20 years.
Hanukkah begins Saturday at sundown. The holiday is celebrated to commemorate when a one-day supply of oil burned the menorah for eight days in the Jewish temple.
Throughout the world, Jews will display their menorahs with candles and oil lamps in their windows for the Hanukkah festival, which lasts for eight days.
The holiday's dates change every year because it's set according to a lunar calendar. They also prepare traditional foods cooked in oil like latkes a potato pancake and soufganiyot a jelly doughnut.
At the heart of the festival is the nightly menorah lighting: a single flame on the first night, two on the second evening, and so on until the eighth night of Hanukkah, when all eight candles shine.
Ruth Shirah is a local member of the National Council of Jewish Women, which teams every year with Christian and Muslim communities to help the less fortunate. Shirah and her sewing group make woolen caps and other items that they donate to help home-bound seniors, homeless veterans and refugees.
The items will be collected on Dec. 24 at West High School and then distributed Christmas Day.
"[Hanukkah] means getting together with dear friends," Shirah said.
Cynthia Bestvina, who is not Jewish, and her three children ate falafels at the market. She bought her children "Star Wars" books.
"I wanted to check out the market and expose the children to other cultures," she said.
Judy Dahlquist said her family lights candles and exchanges small gifts during the eight-day festival. She said she thinks Hanukkah has become more commercial, or about buying stuff, because it's gotten connected with Christmas in America.
"You spend time together without the TV on," she said. "Really, every Jewish festival is about the food."

Izaak Gray tossed a gem, and Indiana Lions plated three of the game's last four runs to outlast Young Township at Bertolino Field.
Gray walked and then scored on an error in the top of the sixth to give Indiana Lions a 4-2 lead.
An inning later, Bryden Lorelli singled and then scored on an error to stretch Indiana Lions' lead to 5-3.
Gray fired a five-hitter to earn the win. Gray struck out 15 and walked none.
"He mainly just used a fastball, but he threw strikes and didn't walk anybody," Young Township coach Jack Yard said. "He put the ball around the plate all game. We just didn't hit the ball. It was that simple."
Ian Helsel singled and doubled to pace Indiana Lions. Tom Budash and Lorelli each singled twice.
Tanner Yard struck out nine, walked one and allowed eight hits in a complete-game losing effort.
Brady Neal singled twice to lead Young Township.
Young Township (9-6) travels to United today. Indiana Lions (11-6) plays host to Kovacik Insurance on Thursday.

grading/better flow through drainage ditch
Hey all,
We have a ditch behind my house that's roughly a foot deep. It would appear to be natural. It flows across the back edge of a few properties (including mine) and ends in a culvert/cement drain head sticking out of the dirt in the back corner of my property. It's usually empty, but during heavy rain, there might be a few inches+ of water flowing through it.
Everyone's downspouts (including mine) go into the ground near their houses then out under their yards through corregated pipe and just open into this little ditch.
My neighbors are uphill, so their ditches just empty out into my section.
It's lined with huge rocks. Over the years, dirt has built up. So I have two problems.
The first is that there are low spots where water stands. Bad for mosquitos.
The second is that massive amounts of leaves and yard clippings get clogged up in it like dams. Eventually water finds it's way through - but, it's almost always a mucky/stinky/rotting mess.
I figured I could lay a 6-8 inch corregated pipe in the ditch. But the entrance would surely get blocked/clogged. I could go bigger - but then this thing would probably be above ground level.
Do I have any options here? Or should I just hire a group of laborers and simply dig the ditch out and clean it up so water flows right through smoothly and into the culvert?
Who's property is this ditch on?
How much Elevation ya got to work with,..??
You have wet spots, because there's a dam, downhill from it...
If you carry a Continuous pitch, from entry to exit, the water will flow, 'n the turf will dry out, 'tween rains...
Yer 2nd point, is just Mother Nature at her Finest,... Makin' Topdirt....
Remove the dams, 'n let the water flow, 'n that'll naturally better itself....
The overall ditch is probably a 200 foot run. The first 100 feet has plenty of slope so the water vacates quickly. Then there is about a the 80 foot trouble zone that doesn't have much pitch and is somewhat flat. The last 20 feet or so is OK.
Ayuh,.... Can't see it, but if ya pull a string line the whole way, you can adjust the grade to match...

18. 9. 2006 - ČSA to accelerate passenger check-in at Brno Airport
Prague, 18 September 2006
Czech Airlines (ČSA) will significantly increase the comfort of its passengers on its flights between Prague and Brno. As the new terminal is being opened at the Brno Airport today, ČSA will have new check-in counters available.
"We welcome the increased check-in capacity of the Brno Airport. This will enable us to reduce the time required to check our passengers in on our regular flights to Prague. We try to offer our clients the best services, not only on board our aircraft, but throughout their trips," said ČSA Vice-President for Sales, Petr Řehák, on the occasion of the opening of the new Brno terminal.
Furthermore, the new airport hall in Brno offers Czech Airlines' clients very pleasant facilities in which to await their flights. Business Class passengers and the OK Plus Silver and Gold card holders will appreciate the services of the new VIP Lounge, where they may obtain refreshments before their flight, or use the facility for work. For all passengers, there is a new beverage bar and two duty free shops.
ČSA operates two daily flights between Brno and Prague, the first flight departing from Brno at 5:30 a.m., and the second at 3:00 p.m. From Prague to Brno, the national carrier flies at 12:35 p.m., and at 10:00 p.m. Czech Airlines set its departure times such as to enable its passengers to transfer, without unnecessary lag time, to connecting flights to other European as well as non-European destinations, and to meet the needs of those who have a business meeting in one of the cities, and do not want to risk a trip by car.
ČSA resumed air service between Prague and Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic, last December, after a two-year break. Over the first eight months of this year, ČSA carried more than 16,000 passengers on this route. Roughly the same number of passengers travelled by the ČSA bus service operated between the two cities. The total number of passengers carried by ČSA on its air or bus service between Prague and Brno, over the first eight months, thus increased by more than one-half, as compared to the same period last year.

ČSA Spokesperson

Excellent front desk team
June 19, 2017
I just wanted to say thank you to your front desk team for their over the top excellent customer service! They were all so kind and accommodating! Also, the breakfast buffet was fabulous with a great selection of healthy breakfast choices. It was a great way to start each of my days as I headed off to 2 full days of conferences. Well done!!

I've stayed at this Staybridge a number of times now for business. I have had a great experience each time. The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. I will stay at this location in the future should the need arise!
Great hotel
June 18, 2017
Overall great hotel. The location is OK, but the hotel more than makes up for that. They don't publicize their events for but it is a solid information tool. I wish there was a shuttle from the hotel down to downtown. The complementary breakfast and evening dinners are well put together and the food is not too bad
Overall service
June 18, 2017
Was impressed by the high level of comfort of the room, the customer service of the staff and the amount of attention Staybridge has put into the overall guest experience!!

One sci-fi convention will boldly go where no sci-fi convention has gone before; Regina's first FanExpo will be held this May, but tickets are on sale now.
"Nothing of this size to my knowledge has been run in Regina," explained Chad Boudreau, who owns Comic Readers downtown.
He will be at Fan Expo and he says fans of science fiction and fantasy in Regina need to support this convention, because if they don't.
"There won't be a Fan Expo next year, this I'm pretty sure is a trial for them," Boudreau said.
Special guests on the lineup for Regina include IronE Singleton who plays T-Dog in the hit TV series The Walking Dead and Ray Park who played Darth
Maul in Star Wars Episode 1. Tia Carrere who played Cassandra on Wayne's World will also be at Fan Expo along with Marina Sirtis from Star Trek the Next Generation.
The comic book store owner admits that 15 years ago people who read comics didn't tell anyone, but he says that has changed. For his part, Boudreau is looking forward to the 'Cosplay' event at the expo where fans will have the chance to dress up as their favourite characters.
"It's a place where people that are shy can dress up and truly be themselves," he said.
Some fans are already looking forward to the local event, because before this chance they would have to go to Calgary or cities in the U.S. The sci-fi community will try to prove Regina can host events like these. But of course in the words of Yoda, "do or do not, there is no try."

Fox News Discovers That Books Go On Sale
Fox News hyped a photo from the Internet indicating that, at an unknown location, a copy of Al Gore's 2006 book An Inconvenient Truth is selling for $1. According to Amazon.com, numerous booksellers are currently selling the books of various Fox News hosts for that figure or less.
Fox News has a history of dismissing the science [1] of climate change and launching bizarre personal attacks on Gore [2]. Back in 2010, the network even showed a copy of Gore's book in the snow [3], as part of their annual tradition [4] of using the existence of cold weather [5] to try and attack the scientific consensus on climate change.
While reading headlines on Fox & Friends, "news anchor [6]" Heather Nauert reported that the price of the former vice president's book had "melted to just one dollar," according to the price tag on a "picture that is now circulating on Twitter":
Well, talk about an inconvenient truth for former vice president Al Gore. There is a picture that is now circulating on Twitter, you can see this right here, and it shows the price of his book on the so-called "global warming crisis" -- well, it's melted to just one dollar. It's also labeled a super buy. Super buy. No word on exactly where this picture was taken, but on Amazon.com the book sells for about $12. It's a buck twenty to buy a used one.
There is nothing unusual about books being marked down. Indeed, Amazon reveals even better deals on books from Nauert's own colleagues. For example, a new, hardcover edition of Sean Hannity's 2004 book Let Freedom Ring will only cost you one cent [7] from booksellers through the Amazon marketplace.
So will a new hardcover copy [8] of The Mr. & Mrs. Happy Handbook, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy's "laugh-out-loud perspective on love, marriage, and family" from 2009. In fact, a bookseller in Minnesota will sell you a signed first edition [9] of this guide to marital happiness for just $0.99 plus shipping.
Greta Van Susteren's My Turn At The Bully Pulpit is also available for less than a dollar [10] new at Amazon booksellers. Bill O'Reilly's 2010 book Pinheads and Patriots is available new in hardcover for slightly more than Gore's at $2.70, but a used copy will cost you just $0.01 [11].
Brian Kilmeade's 2007 sports book It's How You Play The Game is available new for just $2.85 [12], but a "collectible" paperback edition is available for 99 cents [13]. Booksellers are also promoting Kilmeade's latest book, George Washington's Secret Six, for $11.00 new [14] -- a nearly 60 percent mark down for a book that came out just last November.

Citation: Kobza, K., Chaiseeda, K., Sarath, G., Takacs, J.M., Zempleni, J. 2008. Biotinyl-methyl 4-(amidomethyl) benzoate is a competitive inhibitor of human biotinidase. Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. Vol 19: 826-832. Interpretive Summary: Histones are DNA-binding proteins. Modification of histones by the vitamin, biotin can cause changes in gene expression. The enzyme biotinidase can participate in the addition or removal of biotin to histones. In this study, new chemicals were evaluated for the ability to inhibit biotinidase in-vitro. One compound, biotinyl-methyl 4-(amidomethyl) benzoate was found to cause significant inhibition of biotinidase activity. Finding good inhibitors for biotinidase could have future clinical impact in the treatment of disease states linked to the level of histone biotinylation.
Technical Abstract: Posttranslational modification of histones by biotinylation can be catalyzed by both biotinidase (BTD) and holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS). Biotinylation of histones is an important epigenetic mechanism to regulate gene expression, DNA repair, and chromatin remodeling. The role of BTD in histone biotinylation is somewhat ambiguous, given that BTD also catalyzes removal of the biotin tag from histones. Here, we sought to develop BTD inhibitors for future studies of the role of BTD in altering chromatin structure. We adopted an existing colorimetric BTD assay for use in a novel 96-well plate format to permit high-throughput screening of potential inhibitors. Biotin analogs were chemically synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit human BTD. Seven of these compounds inhibited BTD by 26% to 80%. Biotinyl-methyl 4-(amidomethyl) benzoate had the largest effect on BTD, causing an 80% inhibition at 1 mM concentration. Enzyme kinetics studies were conducted to determine Vmax, Km, and Ki for the seven inhibitors; kinetics were consistent with the hypothesis that biotinyl-methyl 4-(amidomethyl) benzoate and the other compounds acted by competitive inhibition of BTD. Finally, biotinyl-methyl 4-(amidomethyl) benzoate did not affect biotin transport in human cells, suggesting specificity in regard to biotin-related processes.

Is anyone else powerless against Little Caesars Pizza Crazy Bread? I can't believe I ate the whole bag...:facepalm

Is anyone else powerless against Little Caesars Pizza Crazy Bread? I can't believe I ate the whole bag...:facepalm
YES! Bro, for real... we get those to snack on. They are SOOO addicting. Don't feel bad, I am right there with you haha.
:skull El1te
I soooo wish there was still a little Caesars here :(
Aaaaagghhh!! Stop it! I'm stuck over here in Korea. . . ordering a pizza sounds sooooo good right now. :cry
Never got into Little Caesars but there's this local place in Virginia called Chanello's that is awesome!
i love little ceasars, it's like a 5 dollar cardiac arrest.
I can remember the last time I had Little Caeser's
i don't think there's a little ceasers anywhere near me.
little cesars =/
i am not powerless when it comes to there food
When i was in college, there was a food court below one of the main student activity halls that had a Little Ceasars. They also had this deal called the Baby Pan Pan combo -- two 5" mini pan pizza and a soda for, like, 2 dollars!
I cried when they closed.....
Oh man...I think the last time I had Little Ceasers was...11 years ago. We had one about a half mile away from my house. I used to ride my bike up there all the time to play the memory game they had in front of the counter where you could win food. Got Breadsticks for a quarter...even one time got a pizza for a quarter too! I miss that place. They closed it back then and I was so bummed out. And what do they replace it with? A drycleaners...
Our Little Ceaser's was in K-Mart, and about 9 years ago, it closed. There hadn't been a Little Ceaser's around here for sometime, untill about 2 or 3 years ago one opened up about an hour away, and then just here recently, they've opened another 3-4 (still an hour away.). Each time I go I get an order of crazy bread (or 2) and pizza to bring home. :lol
I just had a Costco Pizza... mmmmm
Wow, I haven't eaten at little Caesar's since God knows when. I remember seeing their ads on TV many moons ago. But last time I had little Caersar's was when I was barely 4 years old.
I have a Little Ceasars right outside my apartment...for $6.50 you get a large pepperoni and crazy bread, and it is ready when you walk in the door. Not the greatest in the world, but they see me a couple times a week! I think Im gonna run down there now!
Mr. Bungle: Great album brother, psycho carnies, and circus folk making great music. I love that album, I heard Patton is in a new band now called "Ipecac". reminds me of the Family Guy episode where they all drank it to see who could go the longest without puking! And on that note, I am off to get some pizza!
I go to the grocery store and get a whole chicken for $2.50, then buy a case of ramen. That's my life.
Do those come with a free Angioplasty?
Personally, I like the cheesy sticks from Papa Johns better!
I have a goooooood metababaloizm thingy.
I dont think there is any in Indiana. We too had one in a K-mart But both went the way of the dinosaur...:(:(:(:(
I didn't know they closed most of the stores down. In 2003 I was a pizza delivery guy for LC. But after 04 or 05, they stopped delivery service. But they did not close here. There's a LC's almost every other mile you go in any direction. The pizza isn't all that great but you can't bet a large one for only $5. But I'm helpless against their crazybread.
Hey superjedi. I would've thought you could score a pizza on base. And if not then there're loads of pizza shops in Korea. Someone's not looking very hard :)
little Caesars is terrible, but you cant beat $5 pizza. and $5 wings. and $1 crazy bread. and that $0.50 buffalo ranch sauce.
as far as pizza quality its not #1, but as far as price vs. delicious fillingness... yes
i am powerless
All due respect. But "yours Truly" has a stomach that can not agree with that place. The Doe they use is cheap and therefore gives The Sniffer himself the runs.
I don't think we have LC in San Francisco. Too many other good pizza joints here.
We even have Chicago style pizza on lock! If you're ever in the city try Little Star or Patxi's. And , have yourself an Anchor Steam while you're at it.
Sooooo good!

Muhammad and Culture
The instinctive Muslim acceptance, however, of a universal significance for the person of Muhammad not only lacks, but specifically repudiates, this metaphysical confidence in God made human. Nevertheless, the view of Muhammad implicit in the traditions amounts to some form of the belief that a human particular has become a universal, that all humanity may know God's will. But this attitude to Muhammad has never been expressed in a recognized metaphysical doctrine of his person that would undergird its tremendous ethical and legal role. As often elsewhere, Islam has been content with the practical result. Some effort to think out the implications in the relationship of this exemplary Muhammad to God is long overdue.
Kenneth Cragg
The Call of the Minaret
p. 91, 2
What is he saying? That Islam has never really dealt with the implications that almost everything they know about God comes through one man only, and that this man is explicitly NOT divine. Where Christianity makes the divine and human relatable to each other in the Incarnation, Islam in fact makes a stronger claim for the 'universalness' of Muhammad. That is, everything about Muhammad--his dress, his diet, his speech, and so on--is to be imitated. Here then is the great cultural insight of Islam: Since God has made himself known genuinely ONLY in and through this man, culture itself must be sublimated to his example. Thus rather than the Christian pattern wherein the Gospel "fulfills individual cultures," Islam brings about their submission, which means that they must become Arabized.

I haven't given much thought to this idea - but it makes quite a bit of sense - that the cultures that come into contact with Islam have to lose their culture for it's culture - which, sad to say, does not work for my culture (First Nations in Canada).
- Abu Daoud said...
Did not know you were First Nations, but that is wonderful to know, thank you for sharing.
Everything about the Prophet must be emulated. Once you dress like someone, speak like someone, pray like someone, manage your family and money and friendships like someone, and so on, well, there's not much left of who youwere originally.
Contrast this to the great panoply of Christian saints and biblical figures. Even looking at John the Baptist, Paul, Peter, and Nicodemus, just to choose a few, one sees a great deal of variety with the awareness that this variety somehow honors God.

PETRY, Raquel Denise; PLETSCH, Marilei Uecker and FERRAZZA, Mariane. Considerations about the dispensed medicines by SUS in the city of Garruchos - RS. Rev. Bras. Cienc. Farm. [online]. 2008, vol.44, n.3, pp.503-508. ISSN 1516-9332. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-93322008000300021.
In Rio Grande do Sul, the antimicrobials consumption has seasoning characteristics, and in the winter the utilization demands a significant part of the municipal investment. The dispensation study of antimicrobials gives elements to qualification of the municipal pharmaceutical assistance and to the management of these medicines. In this context, the present paper evaluates the dispensation characteristics of the antimicrobians by SUS in the city of Garruchos, RS. The data were obtained through prescription survey received by the Municipal Health Secretary during June of 2004. It was attended 1,546 prescriptions, which 572 contained antimicrobials, representing 51% of new prescriptions or 37% of the total of attended patients. World studies estimate in 12% the ambulatorial use of antimicrobials, which directs to a significant consumption of these medicines in Garruchos. It is detached the association of several antimicrobials classes with metronidazole, which presupposes the treatment of two infections at the same time. Besides these associations, 85% of the prescriptions present other medicines, mainly analgesics and anti-inflammatories. The benefits of the concomitant use are questionable according to the literature. Hence, this paper evidences the necessity of promoting the rational use of medicines in the health system.

Former Chelsea defender Scott Minto believes that Diego Costa will help his old side to win the Premier League title for the first time since 2010 this season.
The Spanish international cost the Blues £32m and has joined the club from Atletico Madrid with the billing of being the missing link in Jose Mourinho's Stamford Bridge XI following his 30+ goal haul last term.
Although they came close to a league and European cup double earlier this year, 'The Special One' was often frustrated with his squad, aiming much of his criticism at his crop of strikers.
WANT MORE? >> Chelsea transfer news | Latest transfer news
None of Demba Ba, Fernando Torres or Samuel Eto'o topped the side's scoring charts – Eden Hazard found the back of the net with the most regularity – and Costa's pre-season eye for goal has created a sense of optimism in west London.
Minto – a former Chelsea player and Sky Sports' presenter for their coverage of Spanish football – believes that his old club will claim the top prize this season thanks to their "street fighter" striker:
"You look back at last season and probably the reason why they didn't win it is because they didn't have a striker. Costa is the final piece of the jigsaw, maybe along with Cesc Fabregas as well," he told talkSPORT.
"If he can score the goals, which he has been doing in pre-season, there is every chance of Chelsea winning the title.
"He is a street fighter.
"He can do it all. He can bully defenders, but he can also have that special deft touch that can assist or maybe finish for a goal.
"Chelsea, under Jose Mourinho, are so strong at the minute that even if they have a few injuries they can ride it and I think it is their title to lose."

Venus Unveiled
Something over a week ago I had the pleasure of making my way up to the little ski resort of La Thuile in the Val D'Aosta to learn about the latest results from the Venus Express mission. (You can imagine it was a tough decision to go to La Thuile and hear real scientists talking about Venus when I could have instead been listening to luminaries such as Mark Morano drone on at the Heartland Institute pseudoscience bash. ) My own connection with the Venus Express meeting came about through some work I've been doing on habitability of the newly discovered "Super Earth" extrasolar planets like Gliese 581c. Many of us think these may be "super-Venuses" rather than "Super-Earths," so it seemed like time to touch base with the people working on our own Venus. The fact that we can put together the same bits of physics we use to understand global warming on Earth in order to understand the interplay of the carbon dioxide greenhouse with sulfuric acid clouds on Venus is a testament to the fundamental power of climate science, and gives the lie to Claude Allègre's oft stated claim that there is no such thing as a science of climate. Altogether, it was a thrilling meeting.
The Venus Express mission was described in this earlier RealClimate article, and you can read more about the mission at the VEX home page. Venus Express was done on the cheap, mostly using instruments cobbled together from leftover hardware from Mars Express and the Rosetta comet mission. The results have been nonetheless spectacular, and La Thuile provided a suitably spectacular venue in which to discuss them. This meeting was one in the series of Rencontres de Moriond in which scientists get together for a week of intensive discussion of leading-edge topics in physics — plus equally intensive skiing, climbing, hiking and enjoyment of good Northern Italian cooking. If you've ever read any of Jeremy Bernstein's accounts of how he got involved in mountaineering through his attendence at particle physics meetings conducted in similar circumstances, you'll know the general idea about how such things work. It's a great way to shake loose creative thinking. And it's one of those things that makes real science so much fun. Perfectly aside from the setting, it was a thrill to see the vigor of this field, and the influx of talented new young postdocs and graduates students, with all their fresh ideas and enthusiasm. I hope to give just a bit of the flavor of what went on during that eventful week.
A Field Guide to Venus
Venus has an Earthlike mass and surface gravity, the latter being 8.9 meters per second per second, only slightly less than Earth's. Venus is in a very nearly circular orbit about the Sun with orbital period (year) equal to 224.65 Earth days. Venus rotates much more slowly than Earth, however, and this has many consequences for the atmospheric dynamics, since it greatly reduces the Coriolis accelerations that do so much to organize Earth's large scale atmospheric circulations. In fact, the rotation of the planet is retrograde — i.e. opposite in direction to the rotation of the orbit. The siderial day on Venus — the period with which the star patterns would repeat, if you could see the stars from the surface — is 243 Earth days, but since this is in the retrograde direction, it adds to the angular velocity of the planet relative to the Sun. Thus, the rate of rotation relative to the Sun is 1/224.65 + 1/243 rotations per Earth day, leading to a solar day of 1/(1/224.65 + 1/243), or 116.7 Earth days. This is the time between sunrises, as would be seen from the planet's surface. Thus, Venus' solar day is roughly half of its year, as illustrated in the sketch below (credit K. Fuller).

"When I was still a young boy, every time I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was "a hotel manager". It had always been my dream since that young age but due to the difficult times, at the age of fourteen, I just decided to start with a summer job in the tourism industry, as an assistant waiter at the Akti Zeus Hotel. That was my first experience in the hotel industry as well as my first step towards my dream.
At that point, being completely certain about what I would like to do in my life, I made the decision to attend the Institution of Higher Hospitality & Tourism Education in Rhodes. I continued my studies in Germany, where I attended a post-graduate course in Economics and after having returned in Greece, I started fulfilling my dream, being for many years a Hotel General Manager in a variety of 5 stars luxurious hotels and resorts in Crete.
In 2006, I decided to establish my own company, "Chnaris Hotel Management, Development & Consulting S.A.". My team, including my main partner, my daughter Efi Chnari, and I offer our Services to our partners - hotel owners, having a full consistency and knowledge, thus always achieving the best desirable results for the hotel owners. The company's principles depend on important values such as the teamwork, the mutual respect and the constant open communication."
