Arabic handbooks are written exactly as if they were in a Latin

composed with specific symbols and flow from right to left
according to the Arabic writing. Symbols, like natural language
characters, show a dynamic curvilinear cursivity. Such writing
can be observed in other Arabic alphabet based languages such as
Persian. We can find also the Latin presentation in some Arabic
countries especially in some high level handbooks. Arabic
mathematical expressions present several differences compared to

It is ways that congregations deter growth and new people come

Generalized deductive systems in subregular varieties Ivan
Chajda Abstract: An algebra $\A= (A,F)$ is subregular alias
regular with respect to a unary term function $g$ if for each
$\Theta, \Phi\in\CA$ we have $\Theta= \Phi$ whenever
$[g(a)]_{\Theta} = [g(a)]_{\Phi}$ for each $a\in A$. We borrow
the concept of a deductive system from logic to modify it for
subregular algebras. Using it we show that a subset $C\subseteq
A$ is a class of some congruence on $\Theta$ containing $g(a)$
if and only if $C$ is this generalized deductive system. This
method is efficient (needs a finite number of steps). Keywords:

Posted 01/21/2013 that's really all there is to diagnosing.
Diagnosis ADHD is not comlicated or hard to do. The paper asks a
lot of questions and what the doctor is looking for is high
indication of ADHD behavior in both school and home (that's why
you and the teacher fill it out) .... if just YOU say there's a
problem, then it's likely just a behavior issue that you are
experiencing. If just the teacher (and just this one teacher) is
seeing it, then it's something going on at school. But if BOTH
of you are seeing it, then the doctor should do a quick
assessment to rule out learning disabiity or physical reasons
and the diagnosis can be made. Brain scans and all that are
impressive but unecessary and not actually a recommended
diagnostic tool - it's just cool to see. ^^^^Agreed! Even with

then the corn starch, and then — since I already had the 1/3 cup

Problem is, I got distracted in the middle of measuring out the

ball would be used throughout the game and foul balls would be
thrown back on the field and reused. The ball would only be
replaced if it started to unravel. As games progressed, the ball
would become increasingly dirty and worn, making it difficult to
see, and its movement erratic. Pitchers were able to help this
process along by scuffing it, spitting on it, and since Russ
Ford's discovery in 1913, cutting into it with an emery board.
The spitball was widely used as well. All of these effects gave
the pitcher a major advantage. The physical wear on the ball
from being repeatedly hit also made it less elastic as the game
progressed, making it increasingly difficult to hit for
distance. There were also rule changes that contributed to the
low-scoring games. In 1901 the National League adopted the "foul

(ā'pěks). It's a long 'A' as in 'acorn'. 3. In formal written

Caenorhabditis elegans. Image: Wikipedia. Researchers at the
Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that
males of the laboratory roundworm secrete signaling molecules
that significantly shorten the lifespan of the opposite sex.
The scientists speculate that, if carried out after
reproduction, this "male-induced demise" could serve to conserve
precious resources for a male's offspring or to decrease the
supply of mates for other . For several years, it's been known
that the presence of some male worms and flies can shorten the
lifespan of their female or hermaphroditic counterparts. But
it's not been clear why. Some researchers have speculated that
the physical stress of mating may lead to their early death.
The researchers studied the common laboratory roundworm, known

checking their progress at each and every question. Having
answers provided for worksheet questions does not eliminate the
questions' challenge, because the answer itself is not the
ultimate goal of the question, anyway. Rather, the learning
objective in each case is the method of solution, which is
purposefully omitted from most answers. Long answer: As
someone who learned a lot of his electronics knowledge from

appreciate having answers provided to every question. It seemed

looking into the death of a Utah coal miner killed by a slab of
rock that fell during a particularly tenuous excavation process
known as "retreat mining." Preliminary reports indicate there
were no apparent lapses in safety protocol, or any severe or
chronic problems at the Rhino Mine, where 29-year-old Elam Jones
died last Friday. The incident shows that no matter how many
regulations are in place, or how committed operators are to
safety, mining is an inherently dangerous occupation. And
despite advancements in safety systems, it will remain
treacherous work, just as it will remain vital and necessary
work, despite the rapid development of competing energy sources.
Across America, coal is still king when it comes to generating

11 Basic Tech Questions On...Putting The Power To The Ground
Staff Report Jun 11, 2004 0407tur_clutch01_z Photo 1/8 |
This clutch is destined for our Project Mazdaspeed Protege. It
features an ACT Heavy-Duty pressure plate that offers 20 to 50
percent more clamp load, higher torque-carrying capacity and
more durability compared to the stock offering. When you're
gunning your car down the road, a lot of variables have to
converge properly in order to complete that fast and furious
gear change. Putting the power to the transmission means relying
on a disc that's a mere 5mm to 8mm thick. The disc is abused in
unfathomable ways. At launch, it's at a standstill one instant,
then it's smashed between two pieces of billet-aluminum and
spinning at 4000 to 6000 rpm. The shock, friction and heat
generated by this act make the clutch one of the more remarkable
automotive component systems. Bare Basics The basic clutch

skin to the elements. Can you match the following outdoor
irritants with the rash each one tends to cause? 1. Prickly

Poison ivy, oak, or sumacB. A bull's-eye rash with raised red

toddler suddenly develops a pimply red rash on his neck, under
his arms, or near the edges of his diaper, it's probably a heat

by Williams, Willa Maria Abstract (Summary) ABSTRACT This
dissertation focuses on the structural stability, magnetic and
transport properties of ternary lanthanide compounds grown using
indium and gallium flux. Single crystals of TbRhIn5 were
synthesized using indium flux. TbRhIn5 is isostructural to the
well known LnnMIn3n+2 (n = 1, 2, ?; Ln = La, Ce; M = Rh, Ir) and
adopts the HoCoGa5 structure type and crystallizes in the space
group P4/mmm, Z = 1. Lattice parameters are a = 4.6000(6) Å and
c = 7.4370(11) Å, V = 157.29(6) Å3. A sharp antiferromagnetic
transition is observed at TN = 48 K for TbRhIn5. Single crystals
of SmPd2Ga2 have been synthesized by flux growth methods.

Cheshire East unitary authority, historic county of Cheshire,
England. It is located on the Cheshire Plain southwest of the
city of Manchester. Knutsford received a market, free burgage
(tenure from the crown), and power to elect a mayor from a
charter of 1292, and a charter in 1332 provided for fairs on
certain festival days. The Heath—about 30 acres (12 hectares) of
common land—is still the site of the annual May Day festival.
The principal shopping streets, King Street and Princess Street,
contain buildings of historical and architectural interest. The
19th-century British writer Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell took
Knutsford as the original for her novel Cranford (1853). The
modern town is predominantly residential, with some industry,
including a paper works, sawmills, and nuclear-energy design
laboratories. The internationally important Manchester Airport
at Ringway is 5 miles (8 km) to the northeast. Pop. (2001)

(slope/intercept) Hi, Sandy -- Thanks for writing to T2T. To
introduce linear equations to anyone, I'd first start with a
concrete situation that could be modeled that way. The most
important thing is to understand the concept of what a linear
function is, that something changes by a constant amount at each
stage. That gives meaning to the equations and graphs. My
favorite way is to use pattern blocks, one shape at a time, and
connect them together in a train, keeping track of the perimeter
of the resulting rectangles at each stage. With students I use
the context of banquet tables, asking them to find how many
people can sit at tables formed by pushing, say, square tables
together. No. of squares Perimeter 1 4 2

Credit: Beau.TheConsortium Alien worlds resembling giant
eyeballs might exist around red dwarf stars, and researchers are
now proposing experiments to simulate these distant planets and
see how capable they are of supporting life. When looking for
alien life as we know it, scientists typically focus on worlds
that have water, since there is life virtually everywhere there
is water on Earth. As such, they concentrate on the habitable
zone of a star — the area surrounding a star where it is neither
too hot nor too cold for liquid water to exist on a planet's
surface. Since red dwarfs are so cold, their habitable zones are
often closer than the distance Mercury orbits the Sun. This
makes it relatively easy for astronomers to spot worlds in a red
dwarf's habitable zone — the exoplanets' orbits are small,
meaning they complete them quickly and often, and researchers
can in principle readily |

Print In just a few days we’ll be hitting the 12th anniversary
of 9/11. It seems like a lifetime has passed in those 12 years.
In the years since that fateful September day the world has
changed in ways that on Sept.10 of that very same year we would
have thought unimaginable. We have increased the surveillance
society at least two to four fold. We have added multiple
government agencies. We have devoted billions upon billions to
fight terrorism in both domestic policing and foreign
engagements, including two wars which to some degree still
continue to this day more than a decade past starting. We have
launched drone strikes, created no fly zones, grown suspicious
of neighbors, tried to stifle dissent and been fearful of color
coded terror alerts, which then gave way to anger then apathy.

tremendous knowledge gap in our legal system today when it comes
to matters involving digital evidence. In our years of
experience in working with attor- neys as digital forensics
experts, common questions arise again and again: What do I ask
for? Is the evidence relevant? What does this item in the
forensic report mean? What should I ask the other expert? What
should I ask you? Can you explain that to a jury? While
computers and digital devices work on the binary system of
simple on or off or yes or no, digital evidence cannot be
interpreted in such a simplistic manner. One of the greatest
mistakes that can be made is to look at any digital evidence in
isolation without properly considering all of the processes,
inputs, and outputs that can impact the interpretation. If the
only answer to a piece of digital evidence were, "It's there or
it isn't," there would be little need for experts in the field
to do any more than act as data recovery technicia |

try to cook, my kitchen looks like an earthquake just hit it.
This really infuriates my husband, who is great in the kitchen
and is a total neat freak when it comes to the kitchen. When we
first got married, we were grocery shopping. He had just picked
up a carton of eggs - brown eggs. I said to him, "I do not eat
whole wheat eggs." He just stared at me. You can imagine what
must have been running through his head... Well, yes, I did
think brown eggs were whole wheat, for some bizarre reason. I
mean, I'm sure if I really thought about it, I would have
realized how completely silly that statement was, but it's the
first thing that came out of my mouth when I saw that he was
about to buy brown eggs. Since then, I don't really care what
colour my eggs are because, well, they do taste the same. I'm
still not sure why some are brown, though. I'm sure there is a

Arthroscopy: What is the Difference? by Kenneth J. Westerheide,
M.D. With the growing popularity of hip arthroscopy, the masses
are becoming more educated about the structures of the hip. News
reports of famous athletes undergoing hip arthroscopy have
brought these conditions into mainstream media. However, many
terms and structures are similar to that of the shoulder, so
what is the difference? The hip and the shoulder are both ball
and socket joints that have cartilage, ligaments, labrum, and a
surrounding capsule. There are some differences between these
joints that influence the treatment for injuries and painful
conditions. The hip is much more constrained or inherently
stable than the shoulder. The hip obviously is a "weight bearing
joint" unlike the shoulder which introduces many differences.
The shoulder is much more dependent on muscles connecting

from the observation that entities of intermediate toposophic

entities (who presumably have access to more advanced and
greatly miniaturized tech that even a sophant of the level ey
are creating might not be able to work with effectively, as few
baseline bionts are able to easily get eir minds around the full
intricacies of eir own biology), usually have more compact
substrates and use less computronium (volume-wise) than entities
of the same toposophic level who initially ascended from lower
levels. According to this theory, the star-spanning archailects
occupying Jupiter or Dyson-sized nodes represent the middle of
the scale (the "top" of the bell-shaped curve where the volume
of computronium required is greatest, but the toposophic level
actually intermediate), with still higher-toposophic entities

Thursday, February 26, 2009 For centuries, orchestras have
represented something of a paradox in terms of national
identity. The basic idea is that to boost your local profile,
you recruit all the great international musicians that you can.
That tradition continues in 21st-century Qatar. The 101 players
of the Qatar Philharmonic, which was officially launched last
October and which performed at the Kennedy Center on Tuesday
night, represent a veritable melting pot of nationalities. Does
this further Qatar's international cultural identity? The jury
will be out until the orchestra has shown that it has that
essential quality in a field that is notably slow to change:
staying power. At the moment, as a young, raw body, its best
policy is to create a track record for itself by racking up as
many performances as it can. |
-0.117726 | -0.563024 | -1 | FRANÇOIS HOLLANDE campaigned on a promise to “renegotiate” the
European fiscal pact signed by his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy,
and Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel. Now the French
president is trying to persuade his Socialist deputies to vote
in favour of the very same pact, in treaty form. In a
parliamentary debate on October 2nd his prime minister, Jean-
Marc Ayrault, argued that a rejection of the treaty, which
enshrines budgetary discipline and goes to a vote on October
9th, would provoke “a political crisis and the collapse of
monetary union”. But the irony of this turnaround has not been
lost. Mr Hollande faces a rebellion on the left of his party,
with about 20 deputies threatening to vote against, and from the
Greens, who have formally decided to oppose the treaty. This is
particularly odd for the two Green ministers, Cécile Duflot and
Pascal Canfin, who have ruled out resigning from government
despite their party’s opposition. On September 30th tens of

David Drucker passed away. As his son, Daniel, went through his
father's possessions, he found a mysterious text file on his
dad's computer. It was titled 'Jokes.txt,' and it contained
phrases such as 'More birds on that side' and 'Brick the camel.'
No explanation was given for the seeming non sequiturs. Daniel
knew that his dad had had a fondness for bad jokes, and he
figured that these phrases must be punch lines to jokes his
Father was a fan of. So he enlisted the curiosity of strangers
to help him make sense of it all. Daniel took his problem to
Metafilter, a website that allows its users to ask and answer
questions. Daniel's post, "Last Time, You Didn't Have Holes in
Your Feet," referencing one of the punch lines, became a hit on
Metafilter, as strangers began to fill in the blanks for the
