The Joy Of A Grandchild
I can't imagine life without this little man, who will turn one in a few weeks.
The world is a wondrous place for him. So many new things to learn. So many things to explore. Places to go. People to see.
Crawling, walking, stumbling, plopping, grinning, banging, clapping, waving, blowing kisses.
Then there's his loyal sidekick, Gizmo, who sits mutely and watches it all. Snatching a baby cookie if he times things just right.
My daughter and I went to lunch. Had a good time. Ate Chinese, laughed. The most important part of all? We were together.
And all was right with the world.

Amazing what being in the presence of a small child can do for the soul...Delete
That's wonderful that you got to spend time together with your daughter, grandson and granddog! Of course, my heart melts for Gizmo since he is a Boston Terrier. I kind of embarrass myself whenever I run into another Boston around here. I feel such a kindred connection to that breed and just want to bring them all home with me. I want to have a Boston dog party! LOL!ReplyDeleteReplies
This is her second Boston Terrier, both from rescue. She grew up in our home with them, and so did I. It's a family tradition!Delete

Alex Hutchison, franchise lead for Assassin's Creed, recently compared AC to Mario and other Japanese franchises. Holygrenade takes a gander at that comparison
I love assassins creed I really do and I could give 2 shits about Mario unless its paper Mario but there is no way that ac is going to become the next Mario, it just wont happen.
No because unlike Mario. Assassin Creed has an amazing story and it constantly keeping the gameplay fresh.
Never two different games and Mario is a classic and in my opinion more fun.
Hopfully Ubisoft knows when to say enough & not try to milk the franchise with horrible games just to keep it around . cause 31 years is enough milking time.

I guess I'll try and explain the situation again. He was 9.5 at birth yes, but he was still quite small. His arms and legs are skinny. He eats very well, has the recommended number of wet diapers. He never has had me concerned about being dehydrated (uric crystals..etc)
He was weighed at birth, lost about 10% before leaving the hospital and a lactation consultant came to our house on Dec 26th (his bday was the 22nd) and he was weighed again and he was gaining (They were concerned because he had a severe tongue tie and I had a C section so my milk took a lil while to come in) He had gained the 10% back and then some. We didn't even supplement the recommended doses of formula because I had faith in my own milk to do the trick.
When he was around 3 months he screamed at a certain hour (lasting about 4) everynight for a week. We took him to urgent care, thats when he weighed 11.6. Noone seemed concerned, they even commented on how alert and strong he was. The Dr said it was just gas.
Now this Thursday will be his 1st visit with his ped. My husband and I aren't huge fans on western medicine and care so we haven't taken him.
2 Months
This was taken the other day
He seems to be hitting all of his milestones. To me he looks like a happy healthy baby. I have an appointment with the Dr to make sure, and I just came on here to see what everyone had to say. I was sure justmommies motta was the friendliest places for moms and moms to be, maybe I was wrong.

Ukraine (Ukrainian: Україна, Ukrayina) is a country in Eastern Europe. Ukraine borders the Russian Federation to the east and northeast, Belarus to the northwest, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldova to the southwest, and the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to the south and southeast, respectively. It has an area of 603,628 km², making it the second largest contiguous country on the European continent, after the Russian Federation.
According to a popular and well established theory, the medieval state of Kievan Rus was established by the Varangians in the 9th century as the first historically recorded East Slavic state which emerged as a powerful nation in the Middle Ages until it disintegrated in the 12th century. By the middle of the 14th century, Ukrainian territories were under the rule of three external powers—the Golden Horde, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Kingdom of Poland. After the Great Northern War (1700–1721) Ukraine was divided between a number of regional powers and, by the 19th century, the largest part of Ukraine was integrated into the Russian Empire with the rest under Austro-Hungarian control. A chaotic period of incessant warfare ensued, with several internationally recognized attempts at independence from 1917 to 1921, following World War I and the Russian Civil War. Ukraine emerged from its own civil war, and on December 30, 1922 Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic became one of the founding republics of the Soviet Union.

Wages of War Chapters 23-27
It is so different reading Wages of War after reading Kovic's book. Some situations were similar, but in this week's reading, we saw the government's perspective. First of all, I was shocked when I read about the U.S. Army Lieutenant Calley, who led the My Lai attack on an innocent village. While I understand the problems the soldiers had while in Vietnam, not knowing who the enemy was, I have trouble accepting that as an excuse. I think at some point Calley must have known that what he was doing was wrong. I mean I could understand if they had accidentally attacked the village and there were a few casualties, but the incident at My Lai was far from a few casualties. Even other soldiers who were above in helicopters were shocked by what they saw, unable to do anything about it. I think Calley's sentence and how it was continually dwindled down was a joke. He first received life in prison but then slowly ended up on parole in a short amount of time. Also, he was pretty much the only one who was charged with murders. I think the other soldiers should have been held accountable for what they had done. Some may argue that they may have only been following orders, but I don't think that is a valid excuse.
In the reading, it spoke of how the television networks found that broadcasting the war brought in more viewers. I think it was sad how the networks used the Vietnam War to increase business. It was especially sad to read that the network producers saw so much war footage that they no longer tried to understand it; they simply aired it, not taking the time to realize what was truly taking place. Again I noticed the recurring theme of the veterans turning to drugs after the war. The book said that "society would later criticize them." This was not surprising to me, but it was disappointing to see, again, that the American society was so narrow-minded, unwilling to look at things from the veterans' perspective.
The Agent Orange problem was one that really made me angry with the government. How could the government be so ignorant? The government acted dumb, as if they did not know what could be causing all this cancer and illnesses. The only reason the government did not jump up to help was because it wanted to save money and in the end veterans were ill-treated, which never fails to happen after a war. This time around, the veterans main problem was not receiving jobs or wanting bonuses; it was the fact that the government refused to recognize the veterans health complaints, pushing them aside trying to cover up the fact that using Agent Orange was hazardous to the soldiers. How many soldiers were denied health benefits? Im sure it is impossible to know, but reading about the different complaints and nothing being done about them was so aggravating. The other aggravating part was that the government so easily dismissed the soldiers sicknesses but was unwilling to research the cause of why so many veterans were suddenly deathly ill. The government was now both ignorant and lazy.
I enjoyed reading about Maude deVictor. I think she was an honorable person for choosing to take the extra time to help the veterans, while her employer, the government, was refusing to help. She was not just an ordinary Veterans counselor; she honestly cared about the plight of the veterans. Even though the government kept refusing her claims that Agent Orange was causing health problems, she continued to do her research and investigations. In the end, most of her investigations were deemed futile and inaccurate by the government, but the media got a hold of it and now more and more people were finding out about this large problem. You would think this would have made the government step up and take initiative and they began to, just in a very slow way. I also was happy at the initiative taken by men such as Frank McCarthy and Paul Reutershan. Even though Reutershan died, I found it so honorable that McCarthy followed through with fighting for the cause.
I think it was unfair that the veterans could not sue the the Defense Department over Agent Orange. They also could not sue the Veterans Administration so they were completely helpless in receiving money or even simply answers & closure. I thought it was wrong how the government tried to persuade the public that the Agent Orange problem was nothing. They even went so far as to tell the American public to not listen to what the veterans were saying. Overall, I truly believe the government was in the wrong for the way they treated veterans. I think this time the government really messed up, because not only were they denying the veterans help, but the government was causing harm to veterans by not looking out for their health. Veterans were dying but the government still remained indifferent.

Can someone possible able help or direct me to right place to find out more information about using update with cursor. Basically, I need to remove any duplicate from RANKING columns like there's is a possible of 25 universities that have 51 ranking and 10 universities that have 76 ranking. I need to remove the duplicate and ranking column should have 1 to 100 count down. If someone possible provide feed back
xample would be
1 Stanford University 78.6
2 Cornell University 77.5
2 UCLA University 76.0
3 New York University 74.6
4 Princeton University 73.5
5 Ohio University 71.0
5 YALE University 70.0
So basically, here i have change the RANKING column with series number instead of duplicate as you see

>SET = count(RANKING)
which column get assigned this new value?
> WHERE RANKING = '51' and RANKING ='76'
how can a single row have ranking = '51' AND ranking = '76'?
consider changing "AND" to "OR"You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

I am quite puzzled what is your exact requirement as your text description does not match the example below at all.
Of course it would be more understable, if you provided a testcase - CREATE TABLE statements for table structure, INSERT statements for sample data, expected result set and exact rules for achieving it.
It seems you could benefit from using Oracle aggregate functions, especially ROW_NUMBER, RANK or DENSE_RANK. They are described in SQL Language Reference book, which is available with other documentation e.g. online on http://tahiti.oracle.com/
Is a row uniquely identified by UNAME?
What shall be final RANKING when two UNAMEs have the same SCORE?

A spectrum of sharing: maximization of information content for brain imaging data by Vince Calhoun
English | May 17, 2015 | ASIN: B00XUSAECI | 47 Pages | EPUB/AZW3 | 1.37 MB/1.46 MB
Efforts to expand sharing of neuroimaging data have been growing exponentially in recent years. There are several different types of data sharing which can be considered to fall along a spectrum, ranging from simpler and less informative to more complex and more informative.
In this paper we consider this spectrum for three domains: data capture, data density, and data analysis. Here the focus is on the right end of the spectrum, that is, how to maximize the information content while addressing the challenges. A summary of associated challenges of and possible solutions is presented in this review and includes: 1) a discussion of tools to monitor quality of data as it is collected and encourage adoption of data mapping standards; 2) sharing of time-series data (not just summary maps or regions); and 3) the use of analytic approaches which maximize sharing potential as much as possible. Examples of existing solutions for each of these points, which we developed in our lab, are also discussed including the use of a comprehensive beginning-to-end neuroinformatics platform and the use of flexible analytic approaches, such as independent component analysis and multivariate classification approaches, such as deep learning.

Earthquakes, which occur in both hemispheres, are natural occurrences that

it still can't prevent the mass destruction that results from the natural event.
Because the earth's tectonic plates are continually moving and shifting,
earthquake activity must continuously be monitored and tracked. Stories and
legends have also sprung up as the result of earthquakes, including a number of
interesting data and facts. The following information provides further details
about this earth-shattering phenomenon.

15) Japanese Mythology Holds a Catfish Responsible for Earthquakes
scientists discovered that earthquakes were caused by the shifting of plates
beneath the Earth's mantle, ancient societies came up with their own
explanations. As a results, several societies resorted to using mythological
reasons for the shaking and rattling of the earth. According to the Japanese,
earthquakes were caused by a giant catfish named Namazu.
Namazu or Catfish Motif Earthquake Piece (1855):
Namazu was the ideal way to explain why the ground shook as the giant catfish
also offered a reason for tsunamis too. Because fish were eaten by the Japanese
regularly, it really wasn't surprising that a catfish caused the major tremblers
to occur. Imagining the size of the catfish was beyond comprehension.
Nevertheless, Namazu was an easy way to explain away the seismic activity
through mythological means.

Foundation Stone, Allowing Namazu to Destroy Edo (1855):
14) According to Hindu Mythology, Earthquakes Are Caused by a Stack of
Since earthquakes were not isolated to just the Japanese islands, the
Hindu culture also started creating their own mythology as to what could be
causing the quakes. According to Hindu mythology, the world was perched
precariously on top of a stack of animals. Eight giant elephants supported the
weight of the Earth on their large shoulders. These eight elephants all stood
atop the giant back of a turtle, which, in turn, stood on a coiled snake. If any
of the animals in the stack moved, the earth would rattle and shake.
This mythological story was a relatively easy way to explain the reason for
an earthquake as it was based on many of the religious beliefs in the Hindu
culture. As it was simpler to draw on already established beliefs to explain
things that could not be understood, a country's religious beliefs or cultural
practices played heavily into the reasons for the quakes. For example, the
Greeks believed that Poseidon, who was the god of the sea, also caused
earthquakes when he was angry. He struck the ground with his trident, making the
whole earth shake - another way to explain something that, at that point in
time, could not be explained.

13) The 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake Created Tons of Energy
Earthquakes generate a massive amount of energy when they occur. In fact,
scientists have determined that more energy is created in a single quake than
what is produced in a nuclear explosion. Since scientists have not found any way
to harness the energy, it simply reverberates over the land, creating mass
destruction. If the power could be captured, it would create enough energy to
make all other forms of green energy obsolete. A case in point is the Indiana
Ocean earthquake of 2004. This trembler produced enough energy to power businesses
and homes in the U.S. for a period of three days.
2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake Energy Displacement:
The energy that is created by an earthquake is a result of the interaction
between the earth's tectonic plates. As one plate moves against another, a
chemical reaction occurs that creates the force. This energy is used to heat the
plates so they are converted back into the magma, or molten rock, just beneath
the crust - a type of recycling process that recurs time and again.
2004 Tsunami in Ao Nang, Thailand:
12) Aftershocks Are Nothing More than the Mantle Readjusting
Aftershocks from
earthquakes are not related to any direct shifting of the crust. Instead, the
earth's mantle is just adjusting itself to any changes that have occurred
beneath it. As the outer layer or crust moves, the mantle, which makes up the
bulk of the earth, is adapting to the moment. In turn, the rocky layer and core
beneath may form crevasses, settle or buckle. When settling occurs, the ground
shakes. Aftershocks can take place for days, months, or even years after an
earthquake. It just depends on the severity of the quake, how the mantle was
affected, and any resulting changes occurring beneath the rocky core.

via Wikimedia Commons
Most aftershocks are felt in locales where earthquakes regularly happen. The
ground constantly has to adopt to the alterations in the mantle and the crust.
Therefore, aftershocks are normal in such areas as Japan and California (where
they are known as tremors). Buildings in these areas are made to resist the
effects of tremors and quakes.

11) The San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 Occurred before the Invention of the
Richter Scale
Of all the earthquakes that have occurred in history, the San Francisco
earthquake of 1906 was considered one of the most destructive. Because the
city's infrastructure at the time was not designed to handle seismic activity,
the trembler caused excessive damage and destruction. The Richter scale, which
measures the magnitude of quakes, had yet to be invented.
However, historians
estimate that the quake would have registered about 7.8 on the scale - a
relatively small earthquake by modern standards.

Francisco Earthquake of 1906:
Most of the damage that occurred resulted from the fires that were caused by
the quake. Gas pipes erupted during the fiasco, which caused the city to burn
for three days.

to Expand:
Approximately 90 percent of the city's damage can be attributed
to the burst pipes. Fortunately, San Francisco has the means today to avoid
earthquake-related problems, such as cracked pipes.
10) Parkfield, California Is Known as the Earthquake Capital of the World
Of all the places in the world that have earthquakes, the city of Parkfield,
California is known as the "Earthquake Capital Of The World." Parkfield holds
this distinction because it sits right on the fault line, and therefore has
higher occurrence of earthquakes than almost anywhere else in the world. The city
has been built with the specific purpose of withstanding the worst quakes that
can be dished out. Safeguards have been incorporated in the infrastructure to
resist earthquake impact as well.
This Bridge Straddles the San Andreas Fault Line:
In fact, the city features a bridge that spans two tectonic plates. Also
known as the San Andreas Fault Bridge, the connection has become bent because of
seismic activity. However, the bridge is still designed to withstand direct hits
from major quakes. The U.S. Geological Survey uses Parkfield as a monitoring
location for earthquake activity.

9) Earthquakes Occur More Often in the Northern Hemisphere Than in the
Southern Hemisphere
If you don't like the idea of being victimized by a quake,
then your odds are better if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. That's because
more tectonic plates are located in the Northern Hemisphere, thus the reason for
more activity.
Because a quake won't occur without the shifting of the plates,
the Southern Hemisphere experiences less earthquake activity. Still, the above
fact doesn't make the Southern Hemisphere safer when quakes do occur. Massive
tremblers still can occur south of the equator. Because there are fewer tectonic
plates, there is less of a frequency.

8) The Highest Tsunami on Record Was 228 Feet High in 1771
Tsunamis are a result of earthquakes that occur within the ocean. These
oceanic tremblers can create a wave that will travel hundreds of miles before it
wreaks havoc on a land mass or town. Interestingly, the waves that occur in the
middle of the ocean do little more than pick up surface items and lay them back
down. Therefore, boats in the middle of the ocean are usually not destroyed by
the waves.
Tsunami Following Japanese Earthquake in 2011:
The biggest threat caused by the waves is on the land. As a wave gets closer
to the land, it clashes with the force of the water that is going out, or away
from the shore. When the waters meet, the wave expands and therefore becomes a
danger to anyone on the beach.
More From the 2011 Japan Earthquake:
The biggest tsunami recorded was 228 feet high and occurred in 1771. It hit
Japan and completely obliterated Ishigaki Island. Even small tsunamis are known
to reach hundreds of miles inland and destroy properties. Buildings and homes
are hardest hit along the shore, with the wave often completely annihilating
structures in its way. Cars, trucks and other land vehicles are frequently
washed out to sea as well. Japan has been hurt quite extensively because of
tsunami activity.
7) Eighty Percent of the World's Biggest Earthquakes Occur Near the "Ring of
The "Ring of Fire" is a geographic area that is made up of some of the most
active tectonic plates on earth. It is so named because these plates cause
volcanic eruptions as well as earthquakes throughout the area. Because of these
plates, most of history's largest quakes have taken place in this area.
The "Ring of Fire" spans from New Zealand to eastern Asia, and then runs
through the Aleutian Islands and Alaska, before resuming its course along the
coasts of North and South America. The Pacific plate, and other massive tectonic
plates, all contribute to the volcanic area in this bounded area - naturally a
concern for people living in the "Ring."
Types of Tectonic Plate Boundaries:
Volcanic and seismic activity in this area is impacted when the plates
beneath the earth dip back into the planet's center and melt into molten rock or
magma. The molten material is then forced through the earth's rocky mantle, all
which creates new land to replace what is lost.
6) The First Earthquake Detector Was Made 2,000 Years Ago
While people believe that earthquake detectors are recent inventions, the
actual technology was first invented by an ancient Chinese astronomer by the
name of Zhang Heng (A.D. 78-139). The detector, which was of course primitive by
modern standards, could detect tremblers over 370 miles away. Plus, the detector
was used at a time when many people still believed that quakes came about
Han Dynasty Chinese Scientist and Statesman Zhang Heng:
The detectors used today then are nothing more than updated versions of this
original design. Basically, the detector is made to sense the earth's movement,
both near and far. By the use of detection, it is possible to prepare for quakes
that may occur closer to home. Although the technology can't forecast an
earthquake, it can track an area so people are aware of the the activity.
Zhang Heng's Primitive Earthquake and First Seismograph:
5) The Largest Most Recent Earthquake Took Place in 1960
One of the most massive earthquakes took place in 1960 in the Southern
Hemisphere. Recording a reading of 9.5 on the Richter scale, the quake occurred
in Chile. The earthquake, which caused massive ocean waves that extended 6,000
miles from its epicenter, had a rupture zone spreading more than 497 miles in
Fortunately, since the event, Chile has been able to rebuild and
reconstruct its infrastructure. Although this area is not part of the "Ring of
Fire," it is connected to one of the major tectonic plates that is linked to the
1960 Earthquake Damage to Wood-frame Houses in Valdivia,
4) Animals Are Well Known for Detecting Earthquakes
Besides manmade detectors, animals also have the ability to sense when an
earthquake is ready to strike. Two main schools of thought offer explanations in
this regard. Either animals may feel the slight vibrations of a quake before it
strikes or they detect a change in the air flow before a trembler occurs.
Damage to Wakuya, Japan Following 2011 Earthquake:
The sensitivity animals feel can be shown when birds suddenly fly from trees
or animals become nervous without any apparent explanation. Because animals
seemingly know when a quake is about to occur, humans have gotten in the habit,
over time, of keeping them in close proximity, especially in areas that
experience large instances of quakes.
Bay Bridge Collapse From Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989:
3) Humans Can Also Detect Earthquakes
Even though humans cannot sense minor tremors in the ground or the changes in
electrical signals, there are ways in which humans can detect earthquakes
without any kind of technology. Humans often detect quakes by scent. In other
words, before a quake happens, ponds and canals will smell differently. That's
because underground gases are released into the water - a scent that is closely
akin to sulfur. People who live close to the water then can detect the change
before anyone else as they are accustomed to the environment.

Humans can also detect a change because of the way the ground feels. Before
an earthquake, the ground will increase in temperature for seemingly no reason
at all. This is because the ground is starting to react to the plates rubbing
together. While the ground will not become unbearably hot, it will feel warmer
as a result. You can notably tell the difference if you are touching the ground
with your bare skin. Therefore, a change in temperature can be noted if you are
walking barefoot or lying on the ground.

in 2005:
2) The San Andreas Fault Moves Two Inches Each Year
One of the most active faults in the world is the San Andreas Fault. This is
the fault that runs along the California coast, which some people believe may
cause the state to eventually fade away. The fault is extremely active as the
plates in the area cause the ground to move two inches every year -
approximately the same speed that fingernails grow.
Map of San Andreas Fault System:
Because of the movement,
California has the second highest frequency of quakes in the U.S. Only Alaska
experiences more earthquakes.

Because of the fault movement, scientists have predicted that Los Angles and
San Francisco will sit side by side in the next 15 million years. While this
rate of change is pretty slow by human standards, it notes a fairly rapid
progression with respect to the earth. As a result, many people who study quakes
use California as their center for research.
Diagrams Showing Plate-tectonic Evolution of the San
Andreas Fault System:
1) The Longest Fault Is the San Andreas Fault
Besides being an active fault, the San Andreas Fault is also the longest
known fault in the world. Referred to as a slip-strike fault, the San Andreas
Fault is about 800 miles in length. It goes all the way from San Francisco to
parts of Mexico. The fault has been responsible for many of the massive
earthquakes that have taken place throughout the area.
Index Map Showing Locations of Surface Traces of the San
Andreas Fault System:
Rather than being one
fault though, the San Andreas Fault is actually several interconnected faults,
all which are part of one massive fault system. As a result, the area along the
San Andreas experiences both quakes and aftershocks. Activity along the fault is
in direct response to one plate moving under the other. As more land is created
by the rock melting into magma, each plate has the power to keep moving and
producing more quakes.
Earthquakes cannot be prevented, but the more we know about them, the easier
it is to prepare for these natural disasters. The above information details just
a few of the interesting facts scientists and historians know about tremblers
and tremors. Knowing about earthquakes enables people to prepare for them even
if they can't predict when they will occur.

The Great Bear is an ecological treasure
The Great Bear Rainforest is the largest intact coastal temperate rainforest left in the world. It has a population of 3 species of bears which are the Grizzly, the spirit and the black bear, and there are many other species like Snakes, squirrels, bugs, wolves and many marine animals in the rivers and lakes in the area.
Great Bear Rainforest
Located in British Columbia
How does it look?
The home of many bears in Canada.
How do people protect the rainforest?
Some bears like the Atlas bear are already extinct, because of illegal bear skin hunters and tree cutting. When log-cutters come they cut down many trees which habit many of the bears in the area.
Humans try to put the rainforest in spotlight, so people could see it and support it more by not killing bears,not touching natural environment e.g cutting trees,less pollution; ban cars in the area.
Fun Facts
- Endangered species live there. The endangered animals are marine animals- WHALES
An example of a whale which was in the great bear is a killer whale.
-Canadian government protects it by not allowing oil tankers to pollute the rivers and lakes
Illegal events in the great bear rainforest..
Even though there are laws in the great bear rainforest that prohibit log cutting, companies still go for log-cutting. The reason if because they get a lot of money and it helps get more jobs in cities. It's to support their family.
What makes up YOUR eco system
-People are not aloud to go near bears because they could be in grave danger, or they could be hunting the bear.
The great bear rainforest is made up of forestry and mountains. The bears live in the forest part, and many other animals live up in the mountains, like eagles and vultures. The main food source for the bears would be fish that they quickly fish out from the streams and rivers. But, just remember that there are more animals then just bears. There are forest animals like lizards and snakes and squirrels.
How do people have a positive and negative impact on the forest?
Well, most impact that people have are negative. So, basically the negative impacts are that humans usually go into the forest to cut down trees to collect resources. People also use the trees fir the paper. Many people used to go into the forest and hunt bears and kill them, they used the bear skin and the meat.
Sadly, many oil tankers and pipe liners destroy the great bear, because the oil tankers pollute the lakes and streams.
What biotic and abiotic elements are your ecosystem?
Many of the biotic elements are bears and plants.
The rest are abiotic which are mostly the hills, the soil the ground and the water and streams.
Biotic elements:
Bears, plants, weeds, sunflowers, grass, other animals, bugs, moss and trees.
Abiotic elements:
Soil, water, air, rocks, fog and mountains.
Here is a video that introduces the Great Bear
Why are humans drawn to the rainforest?
People are drawn to the forest for multiple reasons. The few important ones are trees and bear skins. How this helps society is because when loggers log, they supply the city with fire wood, and wood to make structures. As for the bear skins (Which are illegal to get) people use them for making coats and jackets.

Today, we'll be talking about the great bear rainforest. We will be talking about the forest and it's features, we will also talk about what type of animals live their. But, we will focus mainly on bears throughout the project.

One way to reduce the cost of solar cells is to use less material, but the penalty is less light absorbed. Fundamental research on light trapping and absorption is paying off with new strategies for production of cost effective and highly efficient solar cells made from thin films.
For example, to capture more of the incident light, optical coatings on these cells now include microspheres to scatter and reflect sunlight through the cell many times, so that virtually all the light is used. Adding these tiny particles to an array of silicon nanowires increases absorption to 90% of the sunlight, while significantly reducing the amount of silicon far below that used for conventional photovoltaic cells. Other cost reductions are coming from basic research including how to make thin-film devices reproducibly and with high quality. Successfully combining these approaches has now yielded a new generation of flexible, organic-based solar cells.

In the tight economy, front-end engineers and front-end engineering can play a conspicuous role: good user experience, as the iPhone spectacularly demonstrates, means good business.
At the 7th International AJAXWorld RIA Conference & Expo which opened Monday in New York City, the speaker lineup is as usual dripping with real-world expertise. The distinguished Speaker Faculty is headlined by Oracle's Ashish Mohindroo, whose Opening Keynote on "Breaking the Collaboration Barrier with Rich Enterprise Applications" set the tone for two intense days of breakout sessions across three parallel tracks.
According to Mohindroo and Oracle, Rich Enterprise Applications (REAs) promise breakthrough capabilities and services for achieving higher levels of personal and team productivity throughout your enterprise.
"Consumer web and mobile technologies are setting high standards for what end users expect from enterprise applications, increasing the gap between complexity of technology and the time in which IT has to deliver," he said. Mohindroo continued:
"These trends are redefining the role of the enterprise developer and increasing the pressure to provide enterprise application users with next-generation collaboration tools, while ensuring integration of those capabilities into existing enterprise infrastructure."
His keynote outlined among other things Oracle's vision on the rapid creation of collaboration tools, of mashing up existing applications, injecting Portal capabilities into plain web apps, and building scalable Enterprise 2.0-style applications that render rich user experiences using AJAX, Java Server Faces, and Flash.
The Speaker Faculty today and tomorrow in New York includes practitioners and executives from a wide range of industry players:
- Mehmet Akin - UI Lead Developer, IBM
- Akbar Ali Ansari - Software Engineer, Oracle
- Matias Bagini - CEO, JRapid Corp
- Keith Bergelt – CEO, Open Invention Network

Browser Issues - In a session called "Solving Cross-Domain Issues When Building Mashups," IBM Software Developer Mehmet Akin will be giving delegates in New York an overview of possible techniques to overcome the the cross-domain issue caused by the browser's Same Origin Policy.
Cloud Computing - The CEO of Magic Software, Regev Yativ, will be asking "Are Rich Internet Applications Ready for the Cloud?" in a session discussing how companies can develop and deploy rich Internet business applications on premise or on the cloud, enhancing the user experience like never before, Yativ aims to show that the answer is 'Yes!'
Comet - "Where Are We Now? Where Are We Headed?" is the title of a session given by long-time AJAXWorld speaker Matthias Wessendorf. He will introduce the most common Comet Patterns and give an overview of the most relevant Comet solutions in the market, before ending the session with a preview of upcoming specifications like Java Servlet 3.0 and HTML5 - aimed at helping developers to create a much more interactive Web.
Designing Web Apps - see Web App Design
Developer Productivity - Building enterprise software during the 90s was surprisingly faster than doing it today using the HTML/AJAX way. As a result, many platforms are emerging to bring the old 4GL/RAD productivity back again into the AJAX world. Matias Bagini, CEO of JRapid Corp and himself an experienced software engineer with technical and entrepreneurial background, will be exploring this topic in June in a session called "Bringing Productivity Back to Developers in the Age of AJAX."
EC2 & AJAX - Anil Gurnani,Technical Project Manager at J P Morgan Chase, will be giving a case study session in New York describing how to use the amazing power of Amazon EC2 services and AJAX client applications to develop enterprise class applications that can scale to support hundreds of thousands of users.
Enterprise RIA - If applied incorrectly, an enterprise RIA can degrade server performance and hamper the scalability of the application as a whole. In a session titled "RIA-lizing Enterprise Applications", Dr Sujoe Bose will explore an effective, repeatable, objective and rigorous method to "RIA-lize" enterprise applications, one that not only addresses usability but also scalability and performance – important characteristics of killer-apps. "The intent is to provide a migration path to RIAs that is less risky and more rewarding," says Bose.
Flex - "Adobe Flex and the Microsoft.NET Framework - Strange But Amazing Bedfellows" is the title of a fast-paced session being given in New York by Habeeb Rushdan, a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Trainer. Delegates will receive a brief introduction into both of these exciting programming worlds and then Rushdan will describe how to leverage both of them to create a data-driven, visually stunning front end in Flex and an enterprise-ready SOA backend in .NET.

Information Dashboards - The User Experience Officer and co-founder of NEXThink, Patrick Hertzog, will present a session offering practical guidelines for designing effective dashboards and avoiding common pitfalls. "Every manager, from the sales manager to the CEO, wants a dashboard displaying her own KPIs," notes Hertzog. His session in NYC is called: "Information Dashboards: Design & Implementation"
Internet Explorer 8 - IE8 will ship in a new "standards" mode by default, which has the potential to impact many sites that have been crafted around various "features" in past versions. In a must-attend session, "Internet Explorer 8 and its Impact on Your Web Sites," Robert Boedigheimer, principal of Robert Boedigheimer Consulting, will discuss which current practices will need to change and how this will affect your development techniques and your existing sites. "Don't be surprised the day IE 8 ships and your sites break," says Boedigheimer. "Be prepared!"
JavaFX - What is JavaFX...and why should you care? - That is precisely the questions being addressed in NYC by Sun's Eric Bruno and Jim Connors, both systems engineers and both highly qualified to speak about every aspect of JavaFX from the language (JavaFX Script), to the platforms (JavaFX, JavaFX Mobile, and JavaFX TV), development tools, and Java integration.
JavaScript - "Object Oriented JavaScript" is the title of the New York session being given by Mike Girouard, a senior front-end web developer at the creative agency Magnani Caruso Dutton. The session will explore the JavaScript programming language and will demonstrate several practical design patterns delegates can use in their JavaScript/AJAX application today.
JavaScript 2 - Max Carlson from OpenLaszlo.org is giving a session showing how OpenLaszlo 4.3 includes a new JavaScript 2-based compiler that translates JS2 syntax to a variety of formats, including JS 1.5, Actionscript 1 & 2 and Actionscript 3. It's called "Using JavaScript 2 Today with OpenLaszlo."

Rich Clients - AJAX is not the only player in the space of UI development. a second renaissance regarding Rich Client technologies is taking place, with Rich Client frameworks such as Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flex. In a session called "Thin Client or Rich Client?" UI Architect Florian Mueller will be focusing on several aspects regarding technology choice and will give delegates in New York guidelines for deciding when to follow the Rich Client path in the future and when to go with a Thin Client instead.
Ruby on Rails - In a session called "Appcelerator RIA on Rails" delegates will have a chance to learn how to leverage existing JSON services implemented in Ruby on Rails controllers to provide the server back end for a rich Internet application using the Appcelerator RIA framework.

Web App Design - In a sure-to-be-jam-packed New York session intriguingly called "What Web App Design Can Learn From the Harpsichord," Meebo.com co-founder and VP of Engineering Elaine Wherry will walk through recent web application design and analyze the functionality of these elements. "As designers explore how far they can go, there comes a breaking point where it hurts the end product," says Wherry. "Lesson learned is that just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

Beauty in the World..
There's been many times this month that I wake up with this song stuck in my head. I haven't a clue how it gets there since I only listen to Christian Radio stations, here...
Plus, I needed to be reminded about the beauty in the world because I have dental troubles again and prescription drugs to help combat the pain and swelling. I haven't slept nor ate much since Sunday. and I found a new dentist that I much prefer over the other one at the Dental School.

Personal Campaign
Marc is gathering 10 signatures to
Tell National Geographic To Stop Delivering In Plastic Polybags!
Need to change the use of energy rises, cure territories ceasing to use pesticides .. Protect the animals that live in the still wild, where the man is speaking only for exploitation of vegetation (Amazonian forests) of the natural oils (marine drilling ) and minerals (uranium mining, gold, diamani in Africa). All this happens advantage until the death of the local populations. A Genocide environmental destruction and one that should be condemned by the bodies interanzionali, but this is not happening.
Plastic is filling up the ocean with garbage that never goes away. It kills fish, birds and sea animals. The toxics in the plastic that is eaten is carried up the food chain. The more plastic we can stop using the better.
This is ridiculous how in the world can National Geographic represent the lives of all inhabitants on earth. By photographing & writing articles on a beautiful World & yet trash it. You have to be at the top of your game to be employed by them......Yet they are doing more to destroy this planet then the big manufacters, farmers runoff & ignorance. Stop killing the planet & its inhabitants! Karma will bring you down your not who you are without us the People supporting your organization! If you don't change you won't exist anymore!!! We need to Stand Together & Boycott this company otherwise they will just keep doing what they want with no guilt! Please sign this petition & send it to your friends with how You Feel! Let's make this happen!!! Bless You All, Jillerd
I understand that magazines are in plastic bags if they have a gift or something with them, that would otherwise get lost. No magazine is so vulnerable that it needs plastic around it just to be delivered to the stand or to our houses. Please sign the petition and make the world a bit less plastic :o)

Watch Golden Globes Online 2017 – Golden Globe Awards Live Stream
Jimmy Fallon is hosting the 2017 Golden Globes on Sunday, and Gossip Cop has a live stream! Watch below!
Fallon is presiding over the Golden Globe Awards for the first time. He follows in the footsteps of Ricky Gervais (2016, 2010-2012) and duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (2013-2015). In order to prepare for the big night, "The Tonight Show" has been on hiatus since last month.
The TV personality will have assistance from a number of top celebrities. Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Steve Carell, Sienna Miller, Chris Hemsworth and Sofia Vergara are just a few of the famous faces slated to take the stage as presenters. They'll be joined by Anna Kendrick, Diego Luna, and even Carrie Underwood and Sting, among others.
All will help hand out awards in 25 categories. Like last month's Critics' Choice Awards, the Globes celebrate both movies and TV. And since both mediums have separate awards for comedy and drama, there's four top prizes to give away. Leading the nominees are La La Land and "The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story," the latter of which is actually up for Best Miniseries or Television Film.
In addition, Meryl Streep will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. NBC's red carpet arrivals special is currently underway, and will be followed by the awards show itself at 8 p.m. Eastern. NOTE: Live stream is no longer available.
The HFPA Presents Globes Red Carpet Live is now… LIVE. #GoldenGlobes https://t.co/WfJnjMIsIk

Kisumu in western Kenya is situated on the shores of Lake Victoria, Africa's largest and the world's second largest freshwater lake. It has a population of around 400,000 and is the third largest city in Kenya as well as the principal city of western Kenya. Kisumu is one of the fastest growing cities in Kenya.
Kisumu is a commercial center of a farm region, where mainly sugar, frozen fish, textiles and processed sisal are marketed. The last years, the city has also started to develop a tourism industry with the attractions of Lake Victoria and nearby wildlife.
Major Challenges to the City
Environmental degradation and poverty are some of the challenges Kisumu share with other cities that have a rapid urbanization. Despite a growing economy, Kisumu still registers one of the highest poverty levels in Kenya intensified by a rapidly rising informal sector against a backdrop of collapsing or a declining private sector growth. The infrastructure development and service expansion has not matched the rapid population growth, thus providing a great challenge to the city authority. There is still a high food poverty as well as water supply issues and waste management problems to solve.
Official Launch
During 2012 the Kisumu platform was gradually institutionalized with the set-up of a Secretariat and with an interim Board supported by the Kisumu Action Team, previous host of the platform. In November that year, the platform was officially inaugurated by the mayor of Kisumu, Samuel O'Kello and Björn Häggmark, the Swedish Chargé d'Affaires. New staff was recruited during the year and a local consortium in Kisumu was initiated.
The two flagship project, dealing with eco-tourism and marketplaces have since then been working, involving stakeholders from the public sector, academia, civil society and the practice from and around the environs of Kisumu city. The projects have Swedish support, including Swedish PhD students taking active part in the projects.
The consortium was further developed and a legal entity, the KLIP Trust was formed representing a broad circle of stakeholders, including residents, public and private sectors, civil society and academia.
Enthusiastic Project Development
All projects within the Kisumu platform are formed to explore and understand different questions and themes in the context of climate change, environment degradation and poverty reduction.
The project Ecotourism aims at promoting transformation of eco-tourism as a viable and alternative source of livelihood and community empowerment through innovative approaches by integrating climate change adaptation. The project includes a focus on climate change, environment issues and poverty reduction within Kisumu city and its environs.
In African cities such as Kisumu the bulk of market places are informal and periodic. The overall scientific objective of the Marketplace project is to increase the understanding of the linkages between periodic market places within an African city and its resource neighborhood and how these impact on levels of human well-being and inequality among sub-groups of the poor. The major overall issue is finding out to what extent cities and regional entities can develop social, economic, environmental and planning policies that can strengthen the potential in developing periodic market places.
A port city situated at the edge of Lake Victoria, Kisumu is Kenya's third largest city, with more than half a million inhabitants. The city plays an important role in the country's transportation system, not least as a hub for a large rural population and economy.
Rapid urbanization, environmental degradation and poverty are some of the challenges facing Kisumu.
The Kisumu Action Team, KAT, was established by the Kisumu Municipal Council in 2008. Mistra Urban Futures' Kisumu LIP initially operated under the umbrella of KAT, now transformed into the KLIP Trust. A number of significant obstacles and constraints to sustainable urban growth have been identified through consultations with stakeholders; these include poor urban planning, inadequate infrastructure and services, degraded urban environment, urban poverty and pandemic diseases.
Kisumu LIP university partners:
- Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST)
- Maseno University

There is a perception that low-income students experience difficulty obtaining funds for college, says the Heritage Foundation. However, a recent Congressional Budget Office report concludes that funding does not pose a significant problem when it comes to attending college.
Low income students are those coming from families earning less than $30,000 per year. For these students:
- Considering the average cost of $19,701 for a four-year college, low-income students can quality for over $14,000 in grants and low-interest loans, significantly more than middle and high-income students.
- Most low-income students can finance their college education without exhausting all the available federal loan programs for which they are eligible.
- In fact, low-income students generally pay less than 40 percent of the total cost of their education, a lower proportion than the 50 and 60 percent paid by middle- and higher-income students, respectively.
Furthermore, the study found that low-income students:
- Pay for the smallest proportion of their college education due to help from federal Pell grants and other subsidies
- Borrow less and work less to fund their college education, and are able to finance their education with less help from their parents.
- And are more likely to attend public colleges instead of private institutions, further reducing their education costs.
The government's Higher Education Act will provide $73 billion in funds for college students for 2005 if renewed.
