41.1 What Is Descriptive Research?
41.1.1 The Nature of Descriptive Research
Content: Descriptive research can be either quantitative or qualitative. It can involve collections of quantitative information that can be tabulated along a continuum in numerical form, such as scores on a test or the number of times a person chooses to use a-certain feature of a multimedia program, or it can describe categories of information such as gender or patterns of interaction when using technology in a group situation. Descriptive research involves gathering data that describe events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts, and describes the data collection (Glass & Hopkins, 1984). It often uses visual aids such as graphs and charts to aid the reader in understanding the data distribution. Because the human mind cannot extract the full import of a large mass of raw data, descriptive statistics are very important in reducing the data to manageable form. When in-depth, narrative descriptions of small numbers of cases are involved, the research uses description as a tool to organize data into patterns that emerge during analysis. Those patterns aid the mind in comprehending a qualitative study and its implications. Most quantitative research falls into two areas: studies that describe events and studies aimed at discovering inferences or causal relationships. Descriptive studies are aimed at finding out "what is," so observational and survey methods are frequently used to collect descriptive data (Borg & Gall, 1989).

41.1 What Is Descriptive Research?
41.1.1 The Nature of Descriptive Research
Content: Good examples of this are the Knupfer and Hayes (1994) study about the effects of the Channel One broadcast on knowledge of current events, Manaev's (1991) study about mass media effectiveness, McKenna's (1993) study of the relationship between attributes of a radio program and it's appeal to listeners, Orey and Nelson's (1994) examination of learner interactions with hypermedia environments, and Shapiro's (1991) study of memory and decision processes. On the other hand, descriptive research might simply report the percentage summary on a single variable. Examples of this are the tally of reference citations in selected instructional design and technology journals by Anglin and Towers (1992); Barry's (1994) investigation of the controversy surrounding advertising and Channel One; Lu, Morlan, Lerchlorlarn, Lee, and Dike's (1993) investigation of the international utilization of media in education (1993); and Pettersson, Metallinos, Muffoletto, Shaw, and Takakuwa's (1993) analysis of the use of verbo-visual information in teaching geography in various countries. Descriptive statistics utilize data collection and analysis techniques that yield reports concerning the measures of central tendency, variation, and correlation. The combination of its characteristic summary and correlational statistics, along with its focus on specific types of research questions, methods, and outcomes is what distinguishes descriptive research from other research types. Three main purposes of research are to describe, explain, and validate findings. Description emerges following creative exploration, and serves to organize the findings in order to fit them with explanations, and then test or validate those explanations (Krathwohl, 1993).

Description emerges following creative exploration, and serves to organize the findings in order to fit them with explanations, and then test or validate those explanations (Krathwohl, 1993). Many research studies call for the description of natural or man-made phenomena such as their form, structure, activity, change over time, relation to other phenomena, and so on. The description often illuminates knowledge that we might not otherwise notice or even encounter. Several important scientific discoveries as well as anthropological information about events outside of our common experiences have resulted from making such descriptions. For example, astronomers use their telescopes to develop descriptions of different parts of the universe, anthropologists describe life events of socially atypical situations or cultures uniquely different from our own, and educational researchers describe activities within classrooms concerning the implementation of technology. This process sometimes results in the discovery of stars and stellar events, new knowledge about value systems or practices of other cultures, or even the reality of classroom life as new technologies are implemented within schools.

Educational researchers might use observational, survey, and interview techniques to collect data about group dynamics during computer-based activities. These data could then be used to recommend specific strategies for implementing computers or improving teaching strategies. Two excellent studies concerning the role of collaborative groups were conducted by Webb (1982), and Rysavy and Sales (1991). Noreen Webb's landmark study used descriptive research techniques to investigate collaborative groups as they worked within classrooms. Rysavy and Sales also apply a descriptive approach to study the role of group collaboration for working at computers.

Content: which refers to the fact that remembering is easier when your mood at retrieval matches your mood at encoding (thus, your chances of remembering an event or fact are greater if you evoke the emotional state you were in at the time of experiencing the event or learning the fact). An interesting issue in the study of emotion is the degree to which what we feel is influenced by our expression of it. In other words, does a person who conceals what they are feeling feel as deeply as a person who openly displays their emotion? Does the expression of emotion, in itself, affect what we feel? I remember reading Paul Ekman (the guru of interpreting facial expressions, and author of several books on the subject) say that, when practicing the expressions, he found himself experiencing the emotions they expressed. However, accurate expression of emotion does seem to require considerable expertise (if the emotion is not, in fact, being felt) - people are very good at distinguishing false expressions of emotion. The way people go about controlling their reactions to emotional events does seem to affect their memory of the event. People shown a video of an emotional event and instructed not to let their emotions show were found to have a poorer memory for what was said and done than did those who were given no such instructions. However, as with emotional content, we cannot simply say that emotional state affects memory. The nature of the emotion being felt is also important.

We cannot simply say, for example, that anxiety impairs memory and happiness improves it. A small study in which participants performed difficult cognitive tasks after watching short videos designed to elicit one of three emotional states ( pleasant, neutral or anxious), found that mild anxiety improved performance on some tasks, but hurt performance on others. Similarly, being in a pleasant mood boosted some kinds of performance but impaired other kinds. This may have something to do with different emotions being involved with different brain regions.

13 Peaceful Protests and Whether They Worked
BY Oliver Noble
October 20, 2011

The Occupy Wall Street demonstrations have been going on for over a month. From one side, we hear that the occupiers are a bunch of naive kids who need to change out of their hemp ponchos and take a shower if they want to be taken seriously. Others say the demonstrators are using the only means at their disposal to voice their frustrations and effect change. To bring perspective to the debate, we've looked through the past 200 years of peaceful protests, from tragic to triumphant to just plain weird. 1. Cherokee Indian Resistance to Forced Relocation (1838)
Objective: Avoid having their land seized by the United States government
Method of Protest: Cherokees stood their ground, and made no preparations to move. Results: U.S. troops destroyed the homes and property of the resisting Cherokees, forcing them to move west on a journey that would leave approximately 4,000 dead from disease and starvation.

Content: COMPARTMENTS IN THE BRIDGE WERE USED FOR STORING WINE. If you think a nice glass of wine would be the perfect companion for a moonlit stroll across a river, this is the bridge for you. Engineers built sizeable vaults that were up to 50 feet tall into the bridge beneath its anchorages. Thanks to their cool temperatures, these granite-walled storage spaces made the perfect wine cellars, and they were rented out to the public until World War I. The company A. Smith & Co. Productions forked over $500 a month as rent for the Brooklyn-side vaults, while the liquor distributor Luyties Brothers paid a pretty $5000 for the prime real estate beneath the Manhattan anchorage. 12. ANOTHER COMPARTMENT WAS TURNED INTO A FALLOUT SHELTER. At some point during the Cold War, one of the bridge’s compartments transformed into a survival shelter stocked with food and water rations and medical supplies. After fading into obscurity after the close of the Cold War, this fallout shelter was rediscovered in 2006 during a routine structural inspection of the bridge. 13. NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT COLOR THE BRIDGE WAS.

Some historians insisted that the young suspension bridge wore a proud buff color, renamed “Brooklyn Bridge Tan” for the modern makeover. ( The option of “Queensborough Tan” drew groans .) On the other side of the battle, old documents and hand-colored lithographs supported the argument that the icon’s original color was “Rawlins Red,” a hue derived from the iron-oxide from the eponymous mountain town of southern Wyoming. In the end, Brooklyn Bridge Tan won out.

Factors that may increase suicide rates in occupational settings
What to do if your profession is making you suicidal?
Content: It is thought that among those who work in the financial industry, the suicide rate is approximately 1.51 times that of an average worker. Due to the recession that hit the United States and ensuing economic changes, those who work in the financial industry may not feel as secure as they had in the past. Some evidence has demonstrated a clear correlation between suicide in the financial industry and the state of the economy. In a booming economy, the suicide rates plummet due to the fact that the financial workers are likely also raking in more money with less to worry about. In a bust economy, financial advisors are often losing significant amounts of money and have trouble generating business. The fact that the financial market has been subject to instability in recent years, many in the financial industry become stressed and/or depressed. Although these individuals may not have ease of access to pharmaceuticals like doctors and dentists, the pressure to “swim-or-sink” in a poor economy often leads some financial experts to inevitably “sink” and they resort so suicide. Think about it, if your job was at the mercy of a poor economy, you may become stressed. Also, if you are helping others invest and they end up losing money or not meeting projected quotas, it is easy to carry significant guilt. These are all hypothesized reasons that may contribute to elevated suicide rates among those working in the finance industry.

Synthroid (Levothyroxine) & Weight Loss: A Common Experience
Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is among the most popular pharmaceutical medications in the United States; over 120 million prescriptions were filled for the drug within the past year. It is a synthetically engineered form of thyroxine (T4), an endogenous thyroid hormone produced by follicular cells within the thyroid gland. Among individuals diagnosed with hypothyroidism, the body is unable to produce adequate T4 (thyroxine) via the thyroid gland, which has deleterious effects upon DNA transcription, protein synthesis, and a multitude of neurophysiological processes. As a result, individuals with hypothyroidism often exhibit symptoms such as: cognitive deficits, depression, dry skin, fatigue, malaise, and weight gain. Regular administration of synthroid (levothyroxine) is thought to reverse the aforementioned symptoms of hypothyroidism and improve functionality of the user. After several months of properly-dosed synthroid, users often report:

After several months of properly-dosed synthroid, users often report: clearer thinking, increased energy, mood improvements, and perhaps most noticeably – weight loss. Weight loss is often among the most discussed synthroid side effects due to the fact that nearly everyone wants to look good and maintain a healthy physique. Additionally, many individuals had gained a significant amount of weight prior to using synthroid (as a result of hypothyroidism), a condition which slows metabolism. When metabolic processes are corrected as a result of synthroid, users end up losing weight and the weight loss comes as a pleasant surprise. Synthroid (Levothyroxine) and Weight Loss:

Synthroid (Levothyroxine) and Weight Loss: A Common Experience
If you’ve lived with hypothyroidism, there’s a chance that you may have gained some weight as a result of the condition. The chief purpose of thyroid hormone is to regulate the body’s metabolism, and when an individual is struggling with a thyroid deficiency, basal metabolic rate (BMR) plummets. Individuals with hypothyroidism may: cut calories, eat a healthy diet, exercise plenty – yet still end up gaining weight due to their slower basal metabolic rate; fewer calories are being burned at rest.

The chief purpose of thyroid hormone is to regulate the body’s metabolism, and when an individual is struggling with a thyroid deficiency, basal metabolic rate (BMR) plummets. Individuals with hypothyroidism may: cut calories, eat a healthy diet, exercise plenty – yet still end up gaining weight due to their slower basal metabolic rate; fewer calories are being burned at rest. During treatment with synthroid, the body receives a synthetic version of thyroxine (T4) which upregulates the hypothyroid-induced metabolic downregulation and facilitates weight loss. Users that are prescribed an optimal dosage of synthroid should lose all weight that was gained specifically as a result of their hypothyroidism. Weight loss from synthroid is usually most prominent during early stages of synthroid treatment because the body hasn’t yet adapted to the increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR).

As synthroid treatment is continued for an extended duration, the body will have adjusted to the increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR), and additional weight loss will subside. For some users, weight loss may subside after a few months of treatment, yet for others it may take a year for the weight loss to diminish.

For some users, weight loss may subside after a few months of treatment, yet for others it may take a year for the weight loss to diminish. The amount of weight loss that occurs from synthroid, as well as how quickly it occurs, will likely be contingent upon how long you lived with untreated hypothyroidism and the severity of your hypothyroidism. How Synthroid (Levothyroxine) May Cause Weight Loss
There are many possible ways in which synthroid may contribute to weight loss. In most cases, weight loss resulting from synthroid usage should be chalked up to the fact that it corrects an abnormal and/or dysfunctional basal metabolic rate (BMR) associated with hypothyroidism. It is the correction of BMR (by promoting an increase) that leads to weight loss. Other ways in which synthroid may cause weight loss include:

It is the correction of BMR (by promoting an increase) that leads to weight loss. Other ways in which synthroid may cause weight loss include: appetite reduction, cognitive enhancement, increased energy, altered neurotransmission, and side effects (e.g. diarrhea). Appetite reduction: Many synthroid users report that the drug decreases and/or suppresses their appetite. Assuming you feel less hungry than usual while taking synthroid, there’s a good chance that you’ll probably eat less food and end up losing some weight. In a subset of individuals diagnosed with hypothyroidism, an overwhelming appetite is problematic and leads to constant overeating.

Content: Upon correction of hypothyroidism-associated cognitive deficits (as a result of synthroid treatment), individuals are able to make better decisions about the foods that they consume and exert more overall self-restraint to avoid unhealthy food choices. Decreased food cravings: In some individuals, hypothyroidism may contribute to food cravings, especially for junk food (e.g. artificial sweeteners, sugars, simple carbs, etc.). With regular administration of synthroid, some individuals may find that food cravings subside. You may feel as if you no longer are constantly craving carbs, cookies, candies, etc. – all throughout the day. Assuming you have fewer overall food cravings, you’re likely to consume less unhealthy “junk food” and could end up losing some weight. Energy increase: There’s a stark contrast in the energy level of an individual with an optimally functioning thyroid and someone who’s suffering from hypothyroidism. Most individuals with hypothyroidism slog through the day with considerable fatigue and grogginess, making it challenging and less appealing to stay active and/or exercise.

When taking synthroid, your energy level may skyrocket (compared to what it was) and you may end up going to the gym, moving around more, etc. – all of which can burn calories, enhance your metabolism, and contribute to weight loss. Ghrelin reduction: A hormone responsible for regulating hunger, known as “ghrelin,” is abnormally high among individuals with hypothyroidism. Ongoing administration of levothyroxine (synthroid) appears to significantly reduce ghrelin concentrations.

One person with a specific gut microbiome may differ significantly in terms of weight loss/gain from a particular food – than a person with a different gut microbiome. It may be necessary to consider that administration of synthroid may alter a person’s gut microbe in such a way as to promote weight loss. Metabolism increase: The primary reason synthroid users experience weight loss is related to an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR). As was already discussed, individuals with hypothyroidism tend to exhibit abnormally slow basal metabolic rates.

As was already discussed, individuals with hypothyroidism tend to exhibit abnormally slow basal metabolic rates. When synthroid is taken, basal metabolic rate is corrected (or normalized) and weight loss occurs without much effort. This may result in weight loss without any change in lifestyle, dietary intake, etc. When you’re burning more energy at rest as a result of an increase in basal metabolic rate (compared to pre-synthroid treatment), weight loss is likely to occur. Neurochemistry: There is evidence to suggest that synthroid (levothyroxine) affects neurotransmission and neural activation (of particular regions).

It is understood that neurochemical changes can affect propensity to lose weight. Placebo effect: It may be necessary to consider that in a subset of synthroid users, the placebo effect contributes to weight loss. Some individuals may expect to lose weight while taking synthroid, and the weight loss becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Side effects: In some cases, users of synthroid may experience weight loss as a result of other side effects. For example, if synthroid is provoking round-the-clock diarrhea, the laxative effect will likely contribute to some degree of weight loss. Additionally, it could be that synthroid causes nausea and/or stomach aches – each of which may interfere with a person’s appetite, resulting in reduced food consumption.

Furthermore, the exact causes of synthroid-induced weight loss may be subject to interindividual variability. One individual may lose weight while taking synthroid primarily from BMR increases and diarrhea, while another may lose weight due to the fact that synthroid increased his/her energy enough to maintain a daily fitness routine.

Content: During periods of low unemployment, payments into the fund are high relative to benefits paid out, and the trust fund grows. During periods of high unemployment, payments into the fund fall, payouts increase, and the trust fund is depleted. When states exhaust their unemployment trust funds, states may borrow to continue paying benefits. The federal government may also offer aid to workers in states with high unemployment through Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC). The federal government has extended EUC four times since February 2009, amounting to an additional 86 weeks of unemployment insurance for states (see Table 1). CONSEQUENCES OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ON WORKERS
In a troubled economy, unemployment benefits provide individuals with some income security as they look for work. However, unemployment benefits also change the incentives facing the unemployed, lengthening the job search. By easing the pressure of finding employment, the system benefits the unemployed at the expense of overall productivity and long-run economic growth. Social welfare programs may also change workers' mentalities, leading workers to become less driven and unhappier as their dependence on the state increases. 4 Optimal design of unemployment insurance must consider how the payoff and duration of benefits relative to the worker's previous income affect the individual's incentive to seek employment.

The perverse incentives of unemployment benefits are well documented. 5 Subsidizing unemployment draws out a job search. Generous benefits that subsidize "temporary idleness" may result in "chronic idleness." 6 As the state makes chronic idleness more attractive, more and more people will choose that option over productive employment. As people remain unemployed, their decreased spending will slow production throughout the economy, and the system will become less and less sustainable.

GHOSTLY LEGENDS OF MICHIGAN
The Urban Legend of Hell’s Bridge
Algoma Township, MI
Written by Michigan’s Otherside
A group of teenagers are hanging out at Hell’s Bridge on a cold October night, waiting for something to happen. They glance at their phones and see the time fast approaching midnight. They heard at midnight you can hear the Devil laughing if you are standing on the bridge. They wait quietly, straining to hear any sound in the darkness around them. The only ghostly thing they see is their own breath floating above them in the cold air. Suddenly, one of them grabs the other and in a frightened whisper asks, “Did you hear that?” “I heard someone laughing!” Someone else chimes in with, “I think I heard a kid cry!” Everyone looks at each other for a few moments and get quiet again. Something in the woods is heard but it’s unclear what’s making the sound.

Content: Prevention and Treatment
There is currently no treatment for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Infected individuals are treated for the symptoms they have, but the body must fight off the virus on its own. To help patients deal with symptoms better, supportive care is usually given. This includes: • Administering intravenous fluids in order to keep normal levels of electrolytes. • Using breathing devices to maintain oxygen levels and drugs to control fever. • Maintaining blood pressure and trying to aid in blood clotting through medications. • Preventing infections from bacteria through use of antibiotics. • Relieving pain and keeping as clean of an environment as possible through good nursing care
A vaccine for Ebola virus is currently being extensively researched. Ebola is on the United States’ list of possible bioterror agents.

A vaccine for Ebola virus is currently being extensively researched. Ebola is on the United States’ list of possible bioterror agents. Due to the high risk, the US government is putting funds into vaccine research. There is a vaccine that has been proven effective in non-human primates to prevent the contraction of Ebola virus, however there are no vaccines approved for humans yet. A prototype vaccine was administered in March of 2009 to a researcher who was accidentally pricked with a syringe containing Ebola virus particles. The vaccine was given to her as an emergency treatment. There seemed to be no harmful side effects of the injection and she did not develop Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Description and significance
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative facultative species of Staphylococcus, which is a leading cause of cystisis in women and is associated with uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) in humans. [ 3] It is the second most common pathogen associated with UTIs [5], causing 10-20% of all UTIs in sexually active young women.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative facultative species of Staphylococcus, which is a leading cause of cystisis in women and is associated with uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) in humans. [ 3] It is the second most common pathogen associated with UTIs [5], causing 10-20% of all UTIs in sexually active young women. Like other Staphylococci, S. saprophyticus is globular and resembles clusters of grapes. S. saprophyticus colonizes in the urinary tract of humans and is isolated from urine samples. Young women are more susceptible to colonization in the urinary tracts and sexual intercourse promotes its spread. [ 3] S. saprophyticus is not normally present in the body. [ 5] It is also isolated from the carcasses of dead animals. [

In 1962, Torres Pereira first isolated a coagulase-negative Staphylococci with antigen 51 from women with acute UTI. [ 4]. This antigen was later classified as S. saprophyticus. [ 3] Laboratory tests to identify S. saprophyticus are based on its resistance to the antibiotic Novobiocin and the absence of coagulase. [ 3]
Genome structure
As of 2005, the genome of S. saprophyticus (strain ATCC 15305) has been fully sequenced by Japanese researchers. [

[ 1] S. saprophyticus contains a circular chromosome of 2,516,575 bp, 2,446 ORF’s, and two plasmids 38.4 and 22.9 kb in size. The genome was sequenced to better understand the pathenogenesis of the organism. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing was used, sequencing in 1-2 kb or 10 kb inserts. The inserts were then assembled using PHRED/PHRAP/CONSED programs. The gaps were filled by PCR direct sequencing, using specific primers at the ends of each gap. [

Content: 1] S. saprophyticus is an opportunistic infection [9] and is rarely present in normal humans with a healthy immune system. Spermicides and candidal infections affect the vaginal flora, increasing the risk of infection. [ 3] Staphylococcus cannot survive outside of a host animal. Pathology
Staphylcoccus saprophyticus is not naturally found in healthy humans. It infects humans through sexual intercourse or through contact with animals. [ 3] S. saprophyticus colonizes in the urinary tract of young women and men of all ages. The infection can spread to rectal and vaginal areas. [ 3] Alterations to the genital area effected by spermicides and candidal infection increases the susceptibility of S. saprophyticus infection. [ 3] Urease activity is known to be an infection causing factor in UTIs. Kidney and uretal stones are associated with S. saprophyticus infection. [

Recent research has shown that S. saprophyticus is an opportunistic infection. [ 10]
Application to Biotechnology
There seem to be no positive uses for Staphylococcus saprophyticus as it is a pathogen. Current Research
Some of the recent research on Staphylcoccus saprophyticus: “Urinary Bactericidal Activity of Extended-Release Ciprofloxacin (1,000 Milligrams) versus Levofloxacin (500 Milligrams) in Healthy Volunteers Receiving a Single Oral Dose” [8]
Flouroquinolones are the drug of choice for treating UTIs, but their effectiveness is affected by urine pH and contents. Research was done on 2 drugs from German pharmaceutical companies.

Flouroquinolones are the drug of choice for treating UTIs, but their effectiveness is affected by urine pH and contents. Research was done on 2 drugs from German pharmaceutical companies. An extended-release drug, Ciprofloxacin and another drug Levofloxacin were tested. Levoflaxacin was shown to be more effective than Ciprofoxacin against S. saprophyticus. This was a lab study and not a clinical study. Only 12 volunteers were used. “The presence of peptidoglycan O-acetyltransferase in various staphylococcal species correlates with lysozyme resistance and pathogenicity” [9]
The ability to resist the attacks of lysozymes allows microbes to infect and colonize more effectively.

Archaea are a group of micro-organisms that are similar to, but evolutionarily distinct from bacteria. Many archaea have been found living in extreme environments, for example at high pressures, salt concentrations or temperatures. These types of organisms are called extremophiles. Their cell wall differs in structure from that of bacteria and is thought to be more stable in extreme conditions, helping to explain why some archaea can live in many of the most hostile environments on Earth. Examples of archaea habitats are boiling hot springs and geysers such as those found in Yellow Stone Park, USA and ice such as the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, which remain frozen for most of the year.

This issue of Microbiology Today highlights the importance of archaea and our current understanding of them. Why don’t archaea cause disease? Are there really no archaeal pathogens? And if not, why not? Dr James Chong explores these questions in a film and article for Microbiology Today. Archaea and the Tree of Life
The third domain of life wasn’t even discovered until the 1970s. This mysterious group of organisms, archaea, remain one of the biggest puzzles in microbiology.

Content: In April 1994 it was used with an R-37 to hit a target at 300 km distance. [ citation needed] It has a search range 400 km versus a 19/20 sq m RCS target and can track 24 targets at once, engaging six (282 km for 5m2 ). Cockpit
The aircraft is a two-seater with the rear seat occupant controlling the radar. Although cockpit controls are duplicated across cockpits, it is normal for the aircraft to be flown only from the front seat. The pilot flies the aircraft by means of a centre stick and left hand throttles. The rear cockpit has only two small vision ports on the sides of the canopy. It is argued that the presence of the WSO (Weapon Systems Operator) in the rear cockpit improves aircraft effectiveness since the WSO is entirely dedicated to radar operations and weapons deployment. This decreases the workload of the pilot and increases efficiency. Both cockpits are fitted with zero/zero ejection seats which allow the crew to eject at any altitude and airspeed. It has been claimed by Russian Federation Defence Ministry chief Colonel Yuri Balyko, that the upgrade will increase the combat effectiveness of the aircraft several times over.

Katyn 1943 exhumation. Photo by Polish Red Cross delegation. Compiling or estimating the numbers of deaths caused during wars and other violent conflicts is a controversial subject. Historians often put forward many different estimates of the numbers killed during World War II. The authors of the Oxford Companion to World War II maintain that casualty statistics are notoriously unreliable The table below gives data on the number of dead for each country, along with population information to show the relative impact of losses. When scholarly sources differ on the number of deaths in a country, a range of war losses is given, in order to inform readers that the death toll is disputed. Military figures include battle deaths (KIA) and personnel missing in action (MIA), as well as fatalities due to accidents, disease and deaths of prisoners of war in captivity. Civilian casualties include deaths caused by strategic bombing, Holocaust victims, Japanese war crimes, population transfers in the Soviet Union, other War Crimes and deaths due to war related famine and disease.

The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I was over 37 million. There were over 16 million deaths and 20 million wounded ranking it among the deadliest conflicts in human history. The total number of deaths includes about 10 million military personnel and about 7 million civilians. The Entente Powers (also known as the Allies) lost about 6 million soldiers while the Central Powers lost about 4 million. At least 2 million died from diseases and 6 million went missing, presumed dead. About two-thirds of military deaths in World War I were in battle, unlike the conflicts that took place in the 19th century when the majority of deaths were due to disease. Improvements in medicine as well as the increased lethality of military weaponry were both factors in this development. Nevertheless disease, including the Spanish flu, still caused about one third of total military deaths for all belligerents. Classification of casualty statistics

Headings: The History of Containment Policy
The History of Containment Policy
George Kennan and American Foreign Policy During the Cold War
Containment Policy
The Creation of NATO
Containment in the Cold War: Vietnam and Korea
Content: This view was known as the domino theory. Adherence to the policy of containment and domino theory ultimately led to U.S. intervention in Vietnam as well as in Central America and Grenada. Containment Policy
The Cold War began after World War Two when nations formerly under Nazi rule ended up split between the conquests of the U.S.S.R. and the newly freed states of France, Poland, and the rest of Nazi-occupied Europe. Since the United States had been a key ally in liberating western Europe, it found itself deeply involved in this newly divided continent: Eastern Europe wasn't being turned back into free states, but rather being placed under the military and political control of the Soviet Union. Further, western European countries appeared to be wobbling in their democracies because of socialist agitation and collapsing economies, and the United States began to suspect that the Soviet Union was deliberately destabilizing these countries in an effort to bring them into the folds of communism. Even countries themselves were dividing in half over the ideas of how to move forward and recover from the last world war. This resulted in a lot of political and military turmoil for the years to come, with such extremes as the establishment of the Berlin Wall to separate East and West Germany due to the opposition to communism. The United States developed its policy of containment to prevent communism from spreading further into Europe and the rest of the world. The concept was first outlined in George Kennan's " Long Telegram ," which he sent from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.

The United States developed its policy of containment to prevent communism from spreading further into Europe and the rest of the world. The concept was first outlined in George Kennan's " Long Telegram ," which he sent from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The message arrived in Washington, D.C., on February 22, 1946, and was circulated widely around the White House. Later, Kennan published the document as an article titled "The Sources of Soviet Conduct" — which became known as X Article because Kennan used the pseudonym "Mr. X."
The policy of containment was adopted by President Harry Truman as part of his Truman Doctrine in 1947, which redefined America's foreign policy as one that supports the "free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or outside pressures." This came at the height of the Greek Civil War of 1946-1949 when much of the world was waiting to see which direction Greece and Turkey would go, and the United States agreed to help both countries to avoid the possibility that the Soviet Union would lead them to communism. The Creation of NATO
Acting deliberately (and at times aggressively) to involve itself in the border states of the world and prevent them from turning communist, the United States spearheaded a movement that would eventually lead to the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The group alliance represented a multi-national commitment to halting the spread of communism.

The group alliance represented a multi-national commitment to halting the spread of communism. In response, the Soviet Union signed an agreement called the Warsaw Pact with Poland, Hungary, Romania, East Germany, and several other nations. Containment in the Cold War: Vietnam and Korea
Containment remained central to American foreign policy throughout the Cold War, which saw rising tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1955, the United States entered what some historians consider a proxy war with the Soviet Union, by sending troops into Vietnam to support the South Vietnamese in their battle against the communist North Vietnamese. The United States' involvement in the war lasted until 1975, the year the North Vietnamese captured the city of Saigon.

3 Reasons Why It Is Important to Align Your Personal Values with Your Company’s Core Values
What makes a happy and satisfied employee? The majority would probably answer this: A BIG SALARY! When applying for a new job, do you base your choices on the challenging & exciting tasks at hand? Do you look at the compensation package alone? Or do you also consider the core values of the company? Many people often make the mistake of landing a new career in the wrong company. At first, they find it as the perfect workplace to be – exciting new opportunity, great compensation, meeting awesome people, and a promising career growth! Everything seemed to fit perfectly. However, a few months later, one problem suddenly appears – something crucial which they missed to check from the start.

The Importance of Aligning Your Personal Values with Workplace Values
Better Teamwork and Work Relationship
It is a fact that people who share the same values with the company tend to work together much better compared to those who have conflicting interests. While having the same values doesn’t always mean having the same personalities or attitude with other people, it helps in building great working relationships because these people carry the same goals, intentions, and passion. Thus, they are able to relate to each other better and can communicate their ideas and opinions more openly and honestly. There will be lesser or no conflicts at all, resulting in a team of nurturing and passionate people who are eager to work hand in hand for the best.

When personal values align with the company’s core values, employees are happier and more inspired to do their job. There is an inner motivator that fuels their drive to complete the task at hand because they know that their contribution has a positive impact on the overall success of the company. Thus, they feel more dedicated not just to show up, but most importantly, to actually perform. Many would even perform beyond what’s expected of them as a result of being inspired and motivated, which then leads to increased productivity and honest commitment. Achieve Greater Success
When a company employs people who support their mission, vision, and workplace values, both employer and employees achieve greater success because they set the same goals and focus on the same end result.

Content: Increased Productivity and Commitment
When personal values align with the company’s core values, employees are happier and more inspired to do their job. There is an inner motivator that fuels their drive to complete the task at hand because they know that their contribution has a positive impact on the overall success of the company. Thus, they feel more dedicated not just to show up, but most importantly, to actually perform. Many would even perform beyond what’s expected of them as a result of being inspired and motivated, which then leads to increased productivity and honest commitment. Achieve Greater Success
When a company employs people who support their mission, vision, and workplace values, both employer and employees achieve greater success because they set the same goals and focus on the same end result. When they lay down the same priorities, they know the right things to do in order to move forward in the right direction. A combination of Better Teamwork & Work Relationship (#1) and Increased Productivity and Commitment (#2) will surely result in amazing success. Problems Arising from Conflicting Values
On the other hand, when personal and work values are not aligned, the exact opposite happens – EMPLOYEE DISSATISFACTION and BUSINESS FAILURE. There will be a conflict of interests resulting in unhealthy competition amongst team members; unwillingness to work due to loss of motivation;

Here’s our advice. Wherever you want to work and whatever career you pursue, it is important that you learn to recognize your own values first. You should understand what’s important to you so that you can align with the company’s core values and identify yourself with your company, which is crucial in the long run. When both Personal and Workplace Values are in sync, there is Stability, Productivity, Teamwork, and Dedication.

Content: Before Qing dynasty there were over 11 languages used
-Adopted and strictly enforced Manchu hair and dress- required Chinese men to shave their heads and wear queues
-Allowed the growth and decoration of finger nails, which showed the potential for one's virtility and wisdom
-Currency became standardized as a circular copper coin with a square hole in the middle
Explain how art and technology were used: Throughout Chinas long ancient
history, Chinese art has evolved in various ways covering different techniques
and media such as bronze, ceramics, ink, jade, lacquer, and textile. Chinas
diverse culture and the neighboring countries cultures have influenced Chinese
art for many years. In addition, many philosophers, religious figures and
political leaders also impacted the Chinese art throughout Chinas history. Chinese arts can largely be broken into various time periods by the ruling
dynasties of China. Qing Dynasty, also known as Manchu Dynasty, was the most
recent ruling dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912. Qing Dynasty art is
some of the most sought after Chinese art in the world. The Qing Dynasty was
heavily influenced by the Western pioneers and missionaries during the western
invasions. Due to the efforts by the various masters programs in China,
traditional Chinese art was revitalized during the Qing Dynasty. It is also
during the Qing Dynasty that the Chinese art has reached its climax and
continued to the present times in forms of the Chinese ceramics and painting
using the blend of techniques.

popular demands from the West for chinaware and lacquerware during this time,
Qing Dynasty ceramics contained much more vivid colors, in addition to the
standard blue and green colored chinaware. Also, extensive usage of new
materials such as enamel, cloisonne and glass became more common. It is also
known that the new invention of ceramics came from this era.

new way of painting using unique techniques. Distinctive styles of expressionism
that accentuated unstructured brushwork were used and also, paintings contained
full pallet of colors. Furthermore, the missionaries and pioneers from the
Western countries during this time influenced Chinese painters in a different

Father Of 5 Stabbed, Killed In St. Croix River Fishing Dispute
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Wisconsin man was stabbed to death after he and his fishing buddy got into an argument with another group. The Polk County Sheriff’s office is asking for the public’s help in finding the killer. The victim is 34-year-old Peter Kelly of St. Croix Falls, Wis. He was a well-known youth wrestling coach in the community and the father of five young children. READ MORE: ' Joy In The Face Of Tragedy': Celebrations Of George Floyd's Life Held Across Minneapolis
Deputies say Kelly and a friend were fishing on the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River last night when they got into a verbal fight with three men on the Wisconsin side. The Polk County Sheriff’s office said this was a situation that went on for about three hours. It started around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, when Kelly and his friend observed a group of young men fishing across the river being loud and rude. By 9:45 p.m., their efforts to get them to quiet down had turned into a face-to-face confrontation at Interstate Park in St. Croix Falls. That’s where the fatal stabbing took place.

The group on the Minnesota side was making statements like, ‘Why don’t you clean up your act. The challenge was made – ‘why don’t you come over here,'” Captain Smith said.

Sex offender treatment
The Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP) serves people who are court-ordered to receive sex offender treatment. After prison sentences are complete, courts may civilly commit individuals and place them in sex offender treatment for an unspecified period of time. A civil court can commit a person for sex offender treatment if a judge determines the individual is a "sexual psychopathic personality," a "sexually dangerous person," or both. As of April 1, 2021, MSOP had 743 clients in its treatment facilities. Program statistics are updated quarterly. Overview
MSOP is one program with two locations - Moose Lake and St. Peter. Most clients begin treatment in Moose Lake and transfer to St. Peter as they progress in treatment. In St. Peter, clients complete treatment and work toward their release. MSOP staff observe and monitor clients in all aspects of daily living, including group therapy. Other routine treatment and rehabilitative services opportunities include:

Content: A: This is a misconception about minimalism — that it’s necessarily monk-like, empty, boring, sterile. Not at all. Well, it can be, if you go in that direction, but I don’t advocate that flavor of minimalism. Instead, we are clearing away all but the most essential things — to make room for that which gives us the most joy. Clear away the distractions so we can create something incredible. Clear away all the obligations so we can spend time with loved ones. Clear away the noise so we can concentrate on inner peace, on spirituality (if we wish), on our thinking. As a result, there is more happiness, peace, and joy, because we’ve made room for these things. Q:

Where and when did modern architecture begin?
Content: Modern Architecture: Where and when did modern architecture begin? Modern Architecture
Where and when did modern architecture begin? Modern architecture is a set of building styles with similar characteristics, primarily the simplification of form and the elimination of ornament. The first variants were conceived early in the 20th century. Modern architecture was adopted by many influential architects and architectural educators, however very few "Modern buildings" were built in the first half of the century. It gained popularity after the Second World War and became the dominant architectural style for institutional and corporate buildings for three decades. The modern movement in architecture and industrial design, which emerged in the early 20th century, responded to sweeping changes in technology and society. A new world of machines and cities forced artists to think anew about their environment, and soon revolutionized the way we perceive, portray, and participate in the world. Modernist ideas have pervaded every form of design, from graphics to architecture, as well as being a key influence on art, literature and music.

By the 1920s, modern designers began to embrace new technologies and the possibility of mass production; the aesthetic of the machine then became a central theme in modernism. Two figures in particular promoted the language of industry: Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier. Gropius was the leader of the Bauhaus, the school of art and architecture in Germany.

Headings: Shaping the "Classic American Desert"
Shaping the "Classic American Desert"
Mojave Desert Geology
Content: Limestone has played an important role in the history of the Mojave as a host rock for metallic mineral veins, which were produced when magma intruded. During the Mesozoic era the Mojave region was uplifted. Salt-laden water bodies evaporated, leaving behind puffy crusts of evaporite minerals, such as halite and gypsum. Rivers and ephemeral streams carried large amounts of eroded materials into the lowlands. The Mojave's climate became even more arid and windy than it is today, causing the formation of belts of sand dunes and creating the cross-bedding patterns that are visible in the colorful sandstone of Nevada's Red Rock Canyon and elsewhere. At the beginning of the Cenozoic era tectonic activity resumed. Movement along faults deformed the Mojave's layers of sediment and underlying metamorphic rock. Shifts along thrust faults forced older layers on top of younger ones, as can be seen at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Faulting was accompanied by an increase in volcanic activity. At present-day Death Valley, these processes pushed up mountains and caused the valley floor to drop, forming a below-sea-level trough.

Will Cats Eat Ground Moles? by Jess Allen | Apr 22, 2011 | Ground Mole Removal Tips
If you have considered using cats as a way to get rid of your mole problem, you probably are wondering will cats eat ground moles. Some cats do eat ground moles and some won’t. Cats are finicky animals and each has their own personality, which is one reason why you don’t know if cats will eat ground moles. Ultimately, mole control is best left up to the experts. What cats eat ground moles? Cats that are not domesticated generally will eat what they kill, including ground moles, as a means of survival. Domesticated cats will enjoy the game of hide and go seek, but when they catch the ground mole, they may just play with the ground mole and not eat it. Moles cause a great deal of damage and instability to your yard, because of the tunnels they create.

Does relying on a cat to eat ground moles work?
Content: Ultimately, mole control is best left up to the experts. What cats eat ground moles? Cats that are not domesticated generally will eat what they kill, including ground moles, as a means of survival. Domesticated cats will enjoy the game of hide and go seek, but when they catch the ground mole, they may just play with the ground mole and not eat it. Moles cause a great deal of damage and instability to your yard, because of the tunnels they create. The tunnels are used for the mole to find food and live in. They create two levels of tunnels in your yard. The first level of tunnels is about 6 inches below ground level, which creates the damage to your yard. The second level is much deeper and used when it is cold or when it rains. Moles do not actually kill the grass as they tunnel through your yard looking for food and shelter;

Relying on your cat to eat ground moles is not a guaranteed method to utilize if you want to rid your yard of the pesky mammals that are tunneling through your yard at up to 100 feet a day. There is no guarantee that the cat you bring to your home for pest control will be interested in chasing the ground mole.

If the cat will not eat ground moles and just likes to catch and kill them, then it is vital to remove the dead animal from your yard. Regardless if a cat will eat ground moles, it is best to seek professional elimination services when attempting to get rid of your ground mole problem.

As mole trapping experts, we know how frustrating trapping and eliminating moles can be. Our Mole Facts pages are designed to give you the information you need to get rid of your mole problem.
How do I know if I have moles and not some other pest?
When is the best time of year to trap moles?
Why do moles create tunnels and hills?

Content: Damage done by pocket gophers is similar to moles, but there is a major difference. Dirt mounds are crescent-shaped (like a "C") with a "dirt plug" on one side of the mound
If the damage seems to be that of a pocket gopher, we recommend viewing the University of California's website on this topic. Ground Squirrels: The key identifier for these rodents is an exposed tunnel entrance with discarded dirt surrounding the entrance of the tunnel. You can see right into a ground squirrel burrow, unlike that of moles or pocket gophers. Read more about ground squirrels at the University of California website on this topic. Voles: While voles can create damage to trees, shrubs, bulbs and perennials consuming roots, and eating bark from the base of small trees; they typically “piggy back” on the damage done by moles. Voles (often incorrectly referred to as “meadow mice”) tend to travel in mole tunnels and often are the cause of damage to roots, bulbs, and tubers within.

Content: Many times, voles will also travel in mole tunnels and will eat roots and bulbs along the way. Are moles eating my plants? Moles are almost entirely carnivorous; however, it is true that moles can indirectly kill plants. They do this in two ways: The tunnels created by moles will often be used by other small animals. Voles, in particular, will travel in these tunnels and eat away at roots and tubers. A good location for grubs and worms is among the roots of a hedge, flower, or other type of plant. The mole will scrape the dirt away from the roots in search of food, thereby removing the plants’ source of nourishment. Do moles live with other moles?

Most lab and field tests will show that while moles do have a voracious appetite, they only eat up to 70 – 100% of their body weight each day. Can cats or dogs catch moles? Yes, on occasion, a crafty cat or dog can catch a surfaced mole. It is very rare and typically happens to only the mole pups. How many moles do I have in my yard? Most mole problems consist of one or two moles doing a considerable amount of damage.

A good indication of how many moles you may have is to clear all the hills away with a rake. You can then determine how many areas are active concurrently by observing where the new mole hills are being created. If you have two different areas of fresh mole activity in one night, there is a possibility you have more than one mole. If you have only one area active at a time, you may have only one mole. There is no concrete way of determining exactly how many moles there are until moles are trapped and there is no more activity.

"Buying Louis Vuitton, Apple or other cool stuff is important for many Chinese, showing off that they're modern, sophisticated and have status," said Wang.

Plus, Wang points out that in reality, Chinese incomes are probably much higher than the government reports. That's partly because households often underreport their income, fearing the government will pass on the information to tax collectors. The official government figures also don't include rampant under-the-table payments, large cash gifts around Chinese New Year, bribes or land deals. Professor Wang Xiaolu of the China Reform Foundation, in a report for Credit Suisse, estimated in 2008 that the average income was actually 90% higher than the government reported.

Why secretary is still the top job for women
by Annalyn Kurtz @AnnalynKurtz January 31, 2013: 8:37 AM ET
What's the most common job for American women? The same as it was in the 1950s: secretary. About 4 million workers in the United States fell under the category of "secretaries and administrative assistants" between 2006 and 2010, and 96% of them were women, according to the U.S. Census. How secretary became women's work
The rise of the secretary began with the Industrial Revolution, which created an enormous amount of paperwork. In the early 20th century, it became a female job as companies realized they could pay women lower wages to do the work. Secretarial schools offered professional training, which made it possible for many women to enter the career without a full college education. It wasn't until 1950 that it became the most popular job among women. Back then, 1.7 million women worked in a category the Census defined as "stenographers, typists or secretaries."

While the title has evolved since then, it remains the top female job. "It was out with the stenographers, and in with the data processing people. But many women are still employed in that large category," said Cindia Cameron, organizing director at 9to5, National Association of Working Women. Cameron worked as a secretary before joining the organization in 1983. Why so little has changed
First, generalists tend to dominate the list of most common jobs, regardless of gender.

Bond limbo: How low can rates go?
Investors are running away from stocks as fast as they can.
Markets go for a wild ride
Comments
Content: The United States still seems to be holding up better than Europe and Japan. Concerns about China's economy losing steam are also making the U.S. look more attractive. And with worries about Ebola and ISIS roiling the stock market, traders need someplace to put their money -- besides burying it in the backyard or sticking it under a mattress. "Lower rates are not a result of fears about the U.S. economy," said Michael Arone, a chief investment strategist for State Street Global Advisors. " This is a flight to safety. Investors had been much too complacent until recently." The big drop in rates is a bit curious though given that the Federal Reserve is about to end its long-running bond purchase program, a policy known as quantitative easing or QE. At the beginning of the year, many experts thought that the 10 Year Treasury could finish 2014 with a yield of more than 3%. Some thought 4% wasn't even out of the question once QE was over. What appears to be happening is that foreign investors are still buying massive amounts of U.S. debt.

Could rates fall even further from here? Yes. But the bottom would probably have to fall out of the U.S. economy for Treasuries to hit a new record low. Low rates aren't always a good sign.

Keep in mind that while rates are extremely low in the U.S., they are even lower in other developed markets. France's 10 Year yields just 1.2%. Germany's 10 Year is yielding 0.84%. Japan's benchmark is below 0.5%. This is not because investors love the economic conditions in Europe and Japan.

Comments
Content: Is China cooking its books? Supply glut, dollar strength: The poor demand is being exacerbated by too much supply. The commodities boom, fueled by China's explosive growth in previous years, caused energy and metals companies to ramp up production to levels that today's market just can't support. Look at how North American oil producers pumped so much oil out of the ground that now there is a huge supply glut. And then there's the U.S. dollar. Because the American economy looks better than its peers and the Federal Reserve has stopped its stimulus program, the greenback has raced ahead of rival currencies like the euro and the yen. That's bad news for commodities because most of them are priced in dollars. A stronger greenback depresses demand by making oil and other natural resources more expensive to buy in other currencies.

Amazon Prime is going monthly and taking even more direct aim at Netflix. On Sunday night the online retailer is turning on a monthly subscription option for its bundle of Prime services, like free shipping, a music library, and a growing collection of original TV shows and movies. Until now, Prime has only been available as a $99 annual subscription. What's more, Amazon is now offering a separate monthly subscription just for its TV and movie collection — the part it calls Prime Video. Amazon has never made Prime Video available as its own product before. It's always been a part of the bundle.

Amazon's big day ran into some glitches Tuesday morning. Prime Day is a huge sales event for the company, but some customers reported having a hard time actually making a purchase. One big complaint: Some shoppers said they couldn't add items to their cart at checkout, in particular the site's "Lightning Deals." Amazon acknowledged the troubles in a tweet earlier in the morning, saying it was working to fix the problem quickly. A spokesperson told CNNMoney around noon ET that the issue has been resolved.

The Euro
Content: Some of the euro's advantages, in regard to economics, include: Elimination of exchange-rate fluctuations - The euro eliminates the fluctuations of currency values across certain borders. Transaction costs - Tourists and others who cross several borders during the course of a trip had to exchange their money as they entered each new country. The costs of all of these exchanges added up significantly. With the euro, no exchanges are necessary within the Euroland countries. Increased trade across borders - The price transparency, elimination of exchange-rate fluctuations, and the elimination of exchange-transaction costs all contribute to an increase in trade across borders of all the Euroland countries. Increased cross-border employment - With a single currency, it is less cumbersome for people to cross into the next country to work, because their salary is paid in the same currency they use in their own country.
