Content: Using traps instead of rodent poisons provides clear confirmation of a captured rodent and allows you to better judge treatment success. Most importantly, using traps allows you to avoid using rodenticides, which pose a greater risk of exposure to children, pest, and non-target wildlife, including natural predators. Traps are the preferred alternative to using strychnine baits or gases; strychnine is a highly toxic convulsive poison and exposure through inhalation or swallowing can be fatal. Live Traps
While live traps do provide a nontoxic alternative to rodenticides, their use is not recommended. Rodents caught in these traps might urinate or carry lice, fleas, ticks and pathogens, which increases the risk of spreading diseases. Also, if you release a captured mole, gopher or vole the animal will resume its destructive activities on your property, or it may become a problem for someone else to deal with. In some states such as California and Virginia it is unlawful to release a captured rodent on any property other than the one on which it was caught. Often, not enough consideration is given to the capture and release process, including how to transport the animal, where to free it, how the animal could continue its destructive behavior or harm resident wildlife populations at the release site. If you are considering live traps as an option, please see the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s webpage on Trapping Wildlife.

Title:
Headings:
Content: Good is always depicted as an old hag with white
hair and wrinkled skin. She is often said to be sixty or seventy
years of age by the same writers who clearly state that she was
pregnant and had a six-year-old daughter. Even accounts from Salem
Villagers and magistrates at the time refer to her as an old
nuisance, hag, and bed-ridden. How did such a misconception arise? Perhaps her hard life did have such a physical effect on Good that
she did appear extremely aged. On the other hand, witches are
described in literature then and now as being old wicked women. If
Good was to represent the typical witch worthy of execution, then
it is not surprising that all of the stereotypes would be
accordingly attached. Good was a marginal woman and no doubt a
nuisance to her neighbors. However, the Salem trials were conducted
unfairly, with a presumption of guilt, and little evidence. Marginality is not worthy of hanging, and Good was never proved to
be nor did she confess to be a witch.

Content: Romantic poetry and novels are characterized by sentimentality and characters in thrall to powerful emotions and in search of sublime experiences. Exoticism: A further means by which the Romantics distanced themselves from the emphatic empiricism of the Enlightenment, was to imagine parallel worlds and times through which to contemplate new ways of approaching relationships, religion, and politics. The Romantics often symbolized alternative modes of living and thinking—as well as the authenticity and naturalness of those living in pre-civilized states—with images of foreign places. We see Spain, Italy, and particularly the Near East and northern Africa as the setting for a number of poems and novels of the period. Emphasis was placed on the exoticism of these places, often through the use of endlessly repeated stereotypes of the presumed decadence and strangeness of Africans and Arabs or the supposedly relaxed, colorful, and sensual living of southern Europeans. But the Romantic age was also a period in which Europeans traveled more than ever to examine at first hand the far-off lands of which they had read. Several of the major Romantic poets traveled extensively throughout Continental Europe and lived abroad for extended periods. The Importance of Individualism
The Romantic period was also the period of the industrial revolution, which created a new and very wealthy class of businessmen and entrepreneurs that was much larger than the ancient aristocracies of Europe. This new class tended to see themselves as struggling against aristocratic codes of behavior—and tax codes.

The Romantic period was also the period of the industrial revolution, which created a new and very wealthy class of businessmen and entrepreneurs that was much larger than the ancient aristocracies of Europe. This new class tended to see themselves as struggling against aristocratic codes of behavior—and tax codes. The result was to find satisfaction not in being a member of a class but in the struggle to make one’s own fortune. Artists, and particularly authors, also became increasingly entrepreneurial at this time, making their fortunes from the creative productions that expressed their unique individual vision and talents. People came to regard conformist social pressures and traditional canons of behavior as adversarial forces that the individual must conquer in order to discover and express his/her true nature. Finding and expressing oneself came to be regarded as the purpose of a meaningful life—as opposed to the traditional value placed upon submission to the will of God and his appointed kings on earth. In the literary arts, Romantic heroes differed from traditional literary heroes in that they tended to challenge rather than champion the social and moral values of their time.

Salsa Dance
original article from wikipedia
Salsa is usually a partner dance form that corresponds to salsa music. In some forms, it can also appear as a performance dance. The word is the same as the Spanish word salsa meaning sauce, or in this case flavor or style. According to testimonials from musicologists and historians of music, the name salsa was gradually accepted among dancers throughout various decades. The very first time the word appeared on the radio was a composition by Ignacio Piñeiro, dedicated to an old African man who sold butifarras (a sausage-like product) in Central Road in Matanzas. It is a song titled Échale salsita, wherein the major refrain and chorus goes "Salsaaaaa! échale salsita, échale salsita". During the early 1950s, african and Cuban and other Latin-American rhythms that traveled from the islands (Cuba and Puerto Rico) to New York during the migration, somewhere or Puerto Rico. Salsa is one of the main dances in both Cuba and Puerto Rico and is known world-wide. The dance steps currently being danced to salsa music come from the Cuban son, but were influenced by many other Cuban dances such as Mambo, Chá, Guaracha, Changuí, Lukumí, Palo Montel, Rumba, Yambú, Abakuá, Comparsa and some times even Mozambique.

Content: In several parts of Colombia, salsa is danced with very limited or no turns, often nearly chest to chest and the legs of the leader almost interlaced with the legs of the follower in a more sensual fashion, being this the "Coast" style opposite to the "Cali" style described before. This difference is named basically because the two main "centers" of Salsa in Colombia. Los Angeles style
The Salsa LA style is perhaps the most glitzy and glamorous of all Latin American dances. As a result, it is considered more of a ‘show’ than dance by many dance patrons. This particular form of Salsa can be traced back to the Cubans migrants in the USA, who borrowed many elements from the Mambo and the Swing dance styles . Salsa LA was developed by brothers Francisco & Luis Vazquez, Rogelio Moreno. and the little brother Johnny Vazquez. But many others have also been credited for its propagation in America. The Salsa LA is a lot more complicated than the Cuban Salsa. The most distinctive difference is the ‘in-line’ pattern of dance as opposed to the circular motion in its Cuban counterpart.

Content: Renowned Latin music historian Max Salazar has written one of the concise and
comprehensive chronicles about the evolution of the word "Salsa." This article in its
entirety was first published in the November 1991 issue of Latin Beat Magazine. Much thanks to Max Salazar and the publishers of Latin Beat magazine for
allowing this article to be reproduced in
www.SalsaRoots.com. SALSA ORIGINS
By Max Salazar
The popular usage of the word “salsa” for danceable Latin
music began in 1933 when Cuban song composer Ignacio Pi&241erio wrote the song Échale Salsita. According to the late Alfredo Valdés
Sr. whom I interviewed in 1974, he said “On July 6, 1933, I married Anita
Purmuy, guitarist for the all-female band La Anacaona. I didn’t have a
honeymoon because hours later I was on a boat with Nacional (Septeto) headed
toward Miami…then on to the Chicago World’s Fair in Chicago. On the train I
rehearsed Ignacio’s new Échale
Salsita. He got the idea after tasting food which lacked the Cuban spices. It was a protest against tasteless food.

guarachas. Salsaremained dormant until 1962 when Secco Records released
Joe Cuba’s Stepping OutLP. In Jimmy Sabater’s tune Salsa y Bembé,
vocalist Cheo Feliciano wants his main squeeze to add salsato the bembé(dance) when she dances. The lyrics suggest that there is a request for the

Content: Creed Taylor, producer of the album (which had no title
at that moment) suggested a shorter version and a new title in that Guachi Guaro
would be difficult to pronounce and it meant nothing. Tjader invited Willie
Bobo to dub the jawbone (quijada). While doing so, his inspirations of Sabor, Sabor, Salsa Ahi Na Ma,not only satisfied Tjader, but gave Tjader the
idea for the album’s name Soul Sauce (Salsa del Alma). Bobo explained to Tjader
that this track and the others: Pantano, Maramoor, Tanya and Leyte, were fiery,
exciting like a well seasoned sauce. Thus the album Soul Sauce exhibits a fork
on a plate of red beans and chili alongside an opened bottle of Tabasco sauce
with a label on it, Cal Tjader Soul Sauce. This is the third time music
is described as salsa and the Mexican Tjader fans of San Francisco began
using the word to describe Tjader’s brand of music. It spread to Los Angeles
and other cities and its way east via the Spanish, rhythm and blues and jazz
programs across the United States which helped Cal Tjader sell 150,000 albums. Prior to this, Latin music had never been aired over stations with different
music formats. In 1965 while the
west coast Mexican population was using salsa for uptempo Latin music, the
Afro-American population of New York started another trend.

bumps on flesh, did the Salsa explosion detonate. The mushroom cloud fallout

During the 1940s and 50s, Cuban musicians had a huge influence on the New York music scene. But once Fidel came to power, diplomatic relations fell apart between Cuba and the US. Cuban musicians could no longer travel to the United States and Cuban recordings received no air play time.

Content: But, there‚is also a strong Latin Hustle influence in New York salsa dancing. It looks like this is a byproduct of the disco craze, which was HUGE in The Big Apple in the late 70‚s and early 80‚s. Take another look at Saturday Night Fever when you get the chance. Tony Manero (John Travolta) is King of the Latin Hustle in the local Brooklyn discos. When salsa started to move into the Manhatten based clubs in the late 80‚s, many ex-Hustle dancers brought their disco moves into their salsa. The current New York salsa style is called Mambo or Salsa On 2. It‚s a blend of Puerto Rican salsa and Latin Hustle with the break on the second beat of the clave. New Yorkers are quite fanatical about Salsa On 2 – there‚s stacks of internet sites which debate the finer points of ‚Salsa On 1″ and ‚Salsa On 2″.Explore them if you dare. Los Angeles (USA)

LA doesn’t have a distinctive salsa music style. Local bands adopt the Puerto Rican classics.

LA style salsa moves are designed to dazzle the spectator – exciting, sexy and flamboyant with lots of dips, spins and drops. The dominant influences are from Puerto Rican salsa, Latin Ballroom and probably Lindy Hop ( an American dance that evolved in Harlem, New York City, in the 1920s and 1930s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time.) The LA style “shines” have their roots in Latin Ballroom. Couples break away from each other in the middle of a dance to start “shining”.

The contemporary salsa sound coming out of Cuba is called‚ timba. It’s a fast tempo salsa with a strong afro-cuban influence.

The New Deal
During The Great Depression, the American nation was in need of recovery from economic collapse, relief, and reform to prevent further depressions. An effort to create these new reforms came in the form of The New Deal. The New Deal comprised of domestic economic programs that were passed by the government in the 1930s as a response to the Great Depression. As Hardman observes, though the New Deal did not end the depression, it changed the American government for good (Hardman). With the New Deal, there was a larger role for the government. First, President Franklin Roosevelt increased the power of the president, with the White House becoming the center of government. In addition to this, President Roosevelt expanded the federal government, with the national government becoming directly responsible for the well-being of the people in a way that it had not been before. The government would now make relief payments, serve school lunches and run pension programs. Instead of local and state governments, it was the federal government that became the protector of the people’s welfare. The measures under The New Deal meant direct government involvement in economic areas never contemplated before.

The programs spelt out under the New Deal led to increased spending by the government and unbalanced budgets. While American citizens had little expectations before the New Deal, many of them had bigger expectations from the federal government after the New Deal. According to Hardman, critics of the New Deal argue that “deficit and government spending absorbed the credit that was available, and this made the recovery of the private sector difficult” (Hardman). A number of measures were instituted under the New Deal and they included the Emergency Banking Act, the Economy Act, the Federal Emergency Relief Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Tennessee Valley Authority Act and many other programs. In terms of fiscal policy, Bordo et al. observe that during the New Deal period, a regime shift took place and it increased the federal fiscal share by about 9 % points (25). Data suggests that programs under the New Deal led to an increase in fiscal centralization as well as setting in motion processes for further centralization. With these programs, the political setting was such that local and state officials demanded and go active roles in their administration, with the central government setting up general guidelines and providing much of the funds in form of matching grants. As such, the political economy of these New Deal programs took the shape of a cooperative enterprise between various government levels, a factor that is still evident in today’s system of governance. Also, this pattern of intergovernmental relations created by the New Deal is responsible for the struggles that exist between national and state governments, as well as between Congress and the President over the control of the programs.

How to Make Buttermilk
Ingredients
Instructions
Content: When life gives you no buttermilk or sour cream, make your own buttermilk substitute. Thank goodness I always have lemons, vinegar, and milk on hand. Not that you need all three but if you have milk and either a lemon or vinegar in your pantry, a tangy “buttermilk” can be made in about 5-10 minutes. By adding a tablespoon (I like to add 1.5 tablespoons) of either lemon juice or white (or cider) vinegar to a cup of milk minus a tablespoon, you add enough acidity to it that it starts to slightly transform into a tangy curdled milk – exactly what we want. Some recipes call for waiting 5 minutes, but this is when I would encourage you to check your buttermilk after 5 minutes. If it looks slightly curdled, then yes, you have achieved what you needed the milk to do. However, if it doesn’t look slightly curdled (like what it looks like when milk or cream goes bad), wait a few more minutes. Another tip I would add is to taste the milk. What you are looking for as far as taste is concerned is a noticeable tang to the milk. If after stirring the milk and tasting it the tanginess is faint, add another teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar and wait 2 minutes.

Content: No measure is perfect, Chingos said; parents considering where to live would be better off to gauge how much is going into education, and what the outcomes are - per-pupil spending data, info about how well students do on tests, how they’re improving, how many graduate or go to college, for example. "You should think about productivity – return on taxpayer investment," Chingos said. What per-pupil funding can do: Make taxpayers understand how much it costs to educate a child in their area. They'll be able to see if it's similar across districts nearby, Chingos said, and seek better answers about how money is spent. Here are the places that spend the most and least on each student: Highest per-pupil spending

New York - $18,618
New Jersey - $16,841
Alaska - $15,783

Simple math explains why kids do bad things. " Why to minus Why not." As long as the answer is a positive number, they will do the act. Why not is simply “the probability of getting caught times the consequence.” All we need to do is pass a law that states: as long as there is occurrence of an act more often than what we agree is an acceptable level – the consequence must increase.

Development of Evolutionary Thought
Teaching evolution
Teaching evolution can be fraught with difficulty: it is probably the only scientific theory to be rejected on grounds of personal belief. Because of this, it may be that we should move from simply teaching a series of facts and concepts to looking at the development of the theory of evolution, and placing it in its social and historical contexts. William Cobern, who has written a number of papers on the teaching of evolution, has commented (1994) "Teaching evolution at the secondary level - is very much like Darwin presenting the Origin of Species to a public who historically held a very different view of origins." To meet this challenge, "teachers [should] preface the conceptual study of evolution with a classroom dialogue ... informed with material on the cultural history of Darwinism." He goes on (1995, p. 295), "I do not believe ... that evolution can be taught effectively by ignoring significant metaphysical (i.e. essentially religious) questions.

Title: Evolution and Religion
Headings:
Content: However, Christian fundamentalists, in particular, may portray evolution and religion as in opposition to each other. Some people think that, to accept the key tenets of evolutionary thought is to deny their religious beliefs, and this prospect can generate considerable conflict. This is not helped by some proponents of evolution, who make derogatory statements about religious beliefs and promote evolution as explaining all there is to know about life. It is important to understand that western science developed within the Church and Philosophers traditionally explained the wonders of natural life through a creator. However, our knowledge and understanding of the natural world, developed through the application of the scientific method, has provided us with a modern and testable explanation for the history and relationships of living things. This writing team takes the position that there is no conflict between Religion and Evolution because they are two incompatible areas that have nothing to do with each other. We do, however, understand that this is not necessarily the opinion of all. We have, for that reason, prepared the following section to spark critical discussion and reflection on some of the issues. Darwin and Evolution
Why were Darwin's findings so controversial, and why do they still pose a challenge to some people's religious beliefs. Specialists' panel

How Carbon Dioxide Concentration Affects Photosynthetic Rate
Click graph to see notes! As carbon dioxide concentration increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases. At high concentrations, the rate of photosynthesis begins to level out due to factors not related to carbon dioxide concentration. One reason might be that some of the enzymes of photosynthesis are working at their maximum rate. In general, carbon dioxide is found in low concentration in the atmosphere, and so atmospheric carbon dioxide levels may be a major limiting factor on photosynthesis when at low levels.

How Light Intensity Affects Photosynthetic Rate
Click graph to see notes! As light intensity increases, the photosynthetic rate increases until a point is reached where the rate begins to level off. At low light intensity, photosynthesis occurs slowly because only a small quantity of ATP and NADPH is created by the light dependent reactions. As light intensity increases, more ATP and NADPH are created, thus increasing the photosynthetic rate. At high light intensity, photosynthetic rate levels out, not due to light intensity but due to other limiting factors, including competition between oxygen and carbon dioxide for the active site on RUBP carboxylase.

What Are Frankincense and Myrrh?
A Brief History of Frankincense and Myrrh
Frankincense and Myrrh Today
Content: Frankincense is a milky white resin extracted from species of the genus Boswellia, which thrive in arid, cool areas of the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa and India. The finest and most aromatic of this species is Boswellia sacra, a small tree that grows in Somalia, Oman and Yemen. These plants, which grow to a height of 16 feet (5 meters), have papery bark, sparse bunches of paired leaves, and flowers with white petals and a yellow or red center. Myrrh is a reddish resin that comes from species of the genus Commiphora, which are native to northeast Africa and the adjacent areas of the Arabian Peninsula. Commiphora myrrha, a tree commonly used in the production of myrrh, can be found in the shallow, rocky soils of Ethiopia, Kenya, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. It boasts spiny branches with sparse leaves that grow in groups of three, and can reach a height of 9 feet (3 meters). The processes for extracting the sap of Boswellia (for frankincense) and Commiphora (for myrrh) are essentially identical. Harvesters make a longitudinal cut in the tree's trunk, which pierces gum resin reservoirs located within the bark. The sap slowly oozes from the cut and drips down the tree, forming tear-shaped droplets that are left to harden on the side of the tree. These beads are collected after two weeks.

A Lack of Men
Citation
Content: Men commit more acts of violence than women. The U.S. Department of Justice sponsored a National Crime Victimization Study in 2007. This evaluation found that 75.6 percent of all offenders were male and only 20.1 percent were female. In the remaining cases, the victim wasn't able to identify the gender of the offender. According to these results, men commit violent crimes more than three times as often as women [source: United States Department of Justice ]. Even taking into account the possibility that many crimes in which a woman commits violence go unreported, such a disparity can't be dismissed. It would take scores of unreported violent acts to even up the numbers. But why is there a gender gap when it comes to violence? Are men hardwired to be violent?

The subject is the matter of much debate among sociologists and psychologists. Theories attempt to explain the difference between men and women. Some suggest that men are genetically disposed to be aggressive. This view fits into the evolutionary psychology school of thought -- in prehistoric times, men had to be able to protect women to ensure the survival of the species. As a result, men developed aggressive behaviors that have been passed down through thousands of years to modern times. Not everyone buys into the evolutionary psychology view of the world. Some sociologists suggest that the gap may have more to do with a lack of social equality between the sexes. This argument states that the percentages of violent crime committed by men and women would be nearly equal if social status were also equal. But this theory suggests rates of violent crime committed by women should increase over time. According to Darrell Steffensmeier and Emilie Allan, the arrest rate for women accused of committing homicide actually dropped from 1975 to 1990 [source:

Content: This meant a larger percentage of men in these communities committed acts of violence than men in communities with a more balanced ratio of men to women. Why would that be? Advertisement
They suggested a few ideas that might explain this trend. One is that in communities that have more women than men, there are more cases of disruption in families. That means that there are more single-parent families -- usually families with no father. Messner and Sampson suggest that the lack of a stable family environment contributes to a culture of crime and violence, though they say that other factors are also important. It may turn out that there are some acts that men are more likely to commit than women, and vice versa. More men than women commit violent crimes like homicide and aggravated assault, but women are more likely to commit nonviolent crimes like prostitution. Whether that's because of human nature or that there's a far more complex explanation is still a mystery. Dozens of experts in various disciplines are still trying to determine the root causes of violence among men and women.

Pilots
Language of the Skies
Content: The road from the first training flight to the airline cockpit is a long and difficult one, but for many pilots, this is the only way to go. To learn more about this career path, check out How Becoming an Airline Pilot Works. On an airliner, the pilot in command is called the captain. The captain, who generally sits on the left side of the cockpit, is ultimately responsible for everything that happens on the flight. This includes making major command decisions, leading the crew team, managing emergencies and handling particularly troublesome passengers. The captain also flies the plane for much of the trip, but generally trades off with the first officer at some point. Advertisement
The first officer, the second in command, sits on the right side of the cockpit. He or she has all of the same controls as the captain, and has had the same level of training. The primary reason for having two pilots on every flight is safety. Obviously, if something happens to the captain, a plane must have another pilot who can step in.

The primary reason for having two pilots on every flight is safety. Obviously, if something happens to the captain, a plane must have another pilot who can step in. Additionally, the first officer provides a second opinion on piloting decisions, keeping pilot error to a minimum. Most airliners built before 1980 have a cockpit position for a flight engineer, also called the second officer. Typically, flight engineers are fully trained pilots, but on an ordinary trip, they don't fly the plane. Instead, they monitor the airplane's instruments and calculate figures such as ideal takeoff and landing speed, power settings and fuel management. In newer airliners, most of this work is done by computerized systems, eliminating the need for the flight-engineer position.

Content: Previously we’ve calculated that more than 1 in 3 people would develop cancer at some point during their life – in other words, the so-called ‘ lifetime risk’ was more than 1 in 3. But our latest estimate, which uses the most accurate calculation method to date, now puts our chances of developing the disease at 1 in 2. Let’s be clear – this isn’t a sudden increase in risk. The different numbers are down to a change in the method used to make the calculation. But they reveal a gradual increase in risk, that’s taken place over decades. So this begs the obvious question: just why is our risk increasing? The simple answer is, as the animation above shows: most of us are living longer. Why cancer rates are rising
By far the biggest risk factor for most cancers is simply getting older.

Content: So this begs the obvious question: just why is our risk increasing? The simple answer is, as the animation above shows: most of us are living longer. Why cancer rates are rising
By far the biggest risk factor for most cancers is simply getting older. More than three-quarters of all people diagnosed with cancer in the UK are 60 and over. And this is because cancer is a disease of our genes – the bits of DNA code that hold the instructions for all of the microscopic machinery inside our cells. Over time, mistakes accumulate in this code – scientists can now see them stamped in cancer’s DNA. And it’s these mistakes that can kick start a cell’s journey towards becoming cancerous. The longer we live, the more time we have for errors to build up.

These include things we can control, and some we can’t. They include our lifestyle, our genetics & family history, our exposure to viruses, the job we do, the air we breathe – and they can all play different roles in our overall risk of developing the disease.

The main reason cancer risk overall is rising is because of our increasing lifespan. And the researchers behind these new statistics reckon that about two-thirds of the increase is due to the fact we’re living longer. The rest, they think, is caused by changes in cancer rates across different age groups. And when you look at these changes in detail, you can see patterns reflected in how we live our lives, clearly showing how important an impact our lifestyle can have. For example, more and more people are becoming overweight and obese in the UK, which raises the risk of developing 13 different cancers. And our culture of sunbathing and using sunbeds is contributing to rising rates of melanoma skin cancer.

In women, breast screening has meant we’re detecting more cancers and finding them at a younger age (although some of this may also be because of ‘overdiagnosis’ – something we discuss at length in this blog post ). But the increase in breast cancer rates is also down to changes in our lifestyles: women have fewer babies later, and breastfeed less. In men, things are changing too:

Content: However, the science of atoms led to us to create terrible weapons, and the science of people has sometimes been used to control and manipulate them. Science has also shown us how big we are, and how little we are, and how we depend on very big or very little things to survive. In that way many people find science beautiful. A scientist is important for the world because she chooses to look at the world in a special way, a way that can be useful and can help us understand ourselves better. There are many approaches to exploring and appreciating the world. I hope you try as many of them as you can and see what fits you best. Keep questioning,
Answer 2: Science is important because it is the most reliable way of learning about the universe, both natural and artificial. The knowledge that scientists gather can then be taken by engineers, doctors, and others and put to use. Most of the technology that we use would not exist had scientific discoveries not preceded them, and who knows what technology and medicine the future will bring?

How does the level of light affect the rate of photosynthesis? Question Date: 2014-11-03
Answer 1: In photosynthesis, the energy from the sun is used to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into sugar. Oxygen is a waste product. More light can mean more photosynthesis. It doesn’t necessarily mean more though. When we think of photosynthesis as a process, we can see that there are at least three things that can limit the process: light, water, and carbon dioxide. More light won’t help if we don’t have enough water and carbon dioxide.

Headings:
Content: How can you look at a landscape and tell whether a lot of photosynthesis usually happens there? Thanks for asking,
Answer 2: So by level of light you probably mean light intensity which is something that can be measured. Light intensity is usually defined as the energy hitting an area over some time period. So in the case of a plant, a higher light intensity means more packets of light called “photons” are hitting the leaves. As you rise from low light intensity to higher light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis will increase because there is more light available to drive the reactions of photosynthesis. However, once the light intensity gets high enough, the rate won’t increase anymore because there will other factors that are limiting the rate of photosynthesis. A limiting factor could be the amount of chlorophyll molecules that are absorbing the light. At a very high intensity of light, the rate of photosynthesis would drop quickly as the light starts to damage the plant. Answer 3:

As you are probably aware, Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that captures light energy and turns it into sugar. These sugars are then used by the plant as energy for any number of things. The process of photosynthesis requires three things: Light, Carbon dioxide and water.

Content: At around age 6, children become accurate at sorting people by ethnicity. At around age 7 or 8, children understand that race and ethnicity do not change. By the second or third grade, then, children have an adult-like idea of what race and ethnicity are (McKown & Weinstein, 2003). According to Margo Monteith, Ph.D., many children have definite and entrenched stereotypes about blacks, women, and other social groups by five years of age. (“ Where bias begins: The truth about stereotypes,” Psychology Today, May/June 98.) In this lesson, students will confront age-related stereotypes, explore how stereotyping impacts their lives, and discuss how they can make changes to reduce overgeneralizations, unfair assumptions, and uncritical judgments about groups. Motivation
The purpose of this section of the lesson is to get students thinking about common stereotypes; in this case, stereotypes associated with “teenagers” and the “elderly.” Ask students to brainstorm adjectives/phrases associated with being “elderly” and being a “teenager,” based on how they feel the two groups are perceived in society.

Depending on the size of the class, you could facilitate a whole-group discussion, or break the class into two or more smaller groups, having them discuss and record responses associated with each category of people. ( For example, elderly are out of touch, are irritable, slow moving, and forgetful; teenagers are hooligans, are self-centered, and narcissistic.) Tell students that categorizing/grouping people is a common, natural thing to do; people have a fundamental need to belong to a group because it gives a sense of order, direction, and connection to others.

In other words, you'll gain weight in proportion to how much you overeat, plain and simple. However, many others believe that there are other factors in play, including what types of foods the calories come from, and when and how we eat them. This study addresses one possibility:

Making Sense of the Research
Going Further
Content: When it comes to the effect of an individual's diet, there are different schools of thought. Some experts maintain that it comes down to calories in, calories out. In other words, you'll gain weight in proportion to how much you overeat, plain and simple. However, many others believe that there are other factors in play, including what types of foods the calories come from, and when and how we eat them. This study addresses one possibility: that eating around the clock has made us fatter. Now, clearly, very few people eat at a constant rate 24/7; sleep and daily activities still shift our eating to certain times of day. However, the authors of this study suggest that compared to our ancient ancestors, and even to people in relatively recent times, we're eating across more hours of the day than ever before. Could adding mid-morning muffins, afternoon treats, late-night dinners, and midnight snacks to a traditional three-meal schedule be adding to our weight—even if we manage not to take in more calories?

Content: Imagination encircles the world.” I have looked at imagination at work in life and it never ceases to amaze me. When I see my children share the knowledge they have learned I encourage and applaud with pride but when I see their imagination shine through I really stand back in awe… it is theirs, it is unique and it is truly amazing! So yes, I do believe imagination is more important than knowledge, but I also think that if you combine both you are really tapping into life’s power. What does science have to say about it? What is imagination? Imagination is creativity in action. It can be using our brain and our senses to create an image within our mind. Imagination draws on our experiences and knowledge of the world around us and combines them with the complete unknown to make something new. It allows us to explore beyond the constraints of our environment and our reality, into a world of dreams, where creativity and invention are at their strongest.

How does it work? Science has long held that the complex nature of imagination must involve more than one area of the brain. The idea and the proof have been hard to amalgamate but recent studies using advancements in the monitoring of complex neural interactions within the brain provide new evidence for this theory. The findings from this study suggest that imagination uses a large portion of the human brain, creating an interconnecting network of activity across many different areas. Imagination really does light up our brains! Is imagination unique to humans? It would appear that imagination (at least in its complete form) is a uniquely human experience. It has allowed us to modify and develop our surroundings and to create and invent new ideas, new structures, new technologies.

It has allowed us to modify and develop our surroundings and to create and invent new ideas, new structures, new technologies. Imagination also allows us the very human emotion of empathy as we can literally imagine another person’s life experience without ever having actually experienced any of it. In the words of JK Rowling…
“Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.” The evolution of imagination
Our early ancestors, the hominids showed basic levels of imagination in their tool making abilities, cooperative hunting skills and social interaction and colonization. It would appear that their level of imagination was limited though, perhaps with respect to their brain size and their compartmentalized thinking.

As modern humans evolved scientists have reported an increase in brain size, advances in technical skills and creativity and a development in social complexities. Farming, sophisticated tool making, complex language development, the performance of rituals and the development of art and crafting all required a complex development of thought and mental interaction… Imagination! A more developed neural network within the brain, connecting the different areas of brain function, must have had some part to play in all this. The majority of these changes evolved between 500,000 and 200,000 years ago, to the eventual emergence of the modern human. The importance of imagination in our development and learning
As a parent this is the part that I am most interested in.

As a parent this is the part that I am most interested in. What part does imagination play in my children’s development? Science has shown that imagination stimulates brain function and activity. It literally expands the mind as it encourages connections between so many areas within the brain. Both neurologists and psychologists agree that play in early childhood is necessary for children to develop at a normal rate and to reach their full potential. Imagination and play have been shown to increase brain development and growth in children.

Content: Imagination will create more neural links within the brain, engage more regions within the mind and it will bring the subject to life! This holds true for all subjects not just the ones we consider more creative. I have always loved maths, for example, and I remember from a young age that each number took on a personality for me. This probably increased my enjoyment of the subject and certainly would have increased my memory and ability. As children grow it is important therefore that their imagination is constantly stimulated and encouraged. As they enter their teenage years imagination will allow better social interaction and social awareness as it encourages a better sensitivity to the needs and feelings of those around us. Imagination can also decrease stress levels as it encourages problem solving and the possibility of positive outcomes and solutions. A powerful imagination is a wonderful skill to have and a very important one to nurture throughout all stages of life. To really reach our full potential I believe imagination and play should be as important in our daily lives as love, nutrition and health. How can we encourage imagination within our children?

We all have imagination within us, that is what makes us human. We do not need to instil it within our children but perhaps we can encourage and assist what is already there. Starting from a young age we can encourage pretend play, imaginative fantasies and the belief in some things unknown. An imaginary friend can be encouraged rather than feared. Dress up clothes are a great facility for a child’s imagination.

Hernando de Soto’s American Expedition
explorer 3. June 2018 1 Tabea Tietz
Hernando de Soto
(1496/1497 – 1542)
On June 3, 1539, Spanish conquistador and explorer Hernando de Soto, with all the dignitaries and necessary paraphernalia, took formal possession of La Florida, where he landed nine ships with more than 620 men and 220 horses. De Soto ‘s expedition was the first European expedition leading deep into the territory of the modern-day United States, searching for gold, silver and also a passage to China. Moreover, he also was the first European documented to have crossed the Mississippi River. Hernando de Soto’s First Expedition
Hernando de Soto left for his first expedition to the Peninsula of Yucatán in order to find a passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. The goal was to improve trading routes with the Orient. Unfortunately, his expedition failed wherefore he joined Francisco Pizarro ‘s fleet as a captain, departing for the present day Peru. De Soto’s troops fought against the Incan army and plundered their villages. During their following battles, the Spanish plundered further cities such as Cuzco, becoming very rich due to the great amounts of gold and silver found before returning to Spain in 1534.

Arriving in Florida
After returning to Spain, Hernando de Soto and his activities in Peru were well known and his reputation grew. Only a few years later, the explorer had another crew with two ships together, leaving for North America. De Soto arrived at present day Brandeton, Florida along with 620 men and 220 horses. The conquistador and explorer brought mostly priests, farmers, engineers, merchants, and soldiers. The expedition made their way along Florida’s west coast up north, facing several issues with natives.

After hearing about gold findings they turned towards north-east, present day Georgia continuing towards South Carolina. Failing to Find Any Gold
Failing to find any gold, the expedition stopped for about a month in North Carolina and continued along the Tennessee River and then headed to the Gulf of Mexico. On their way, the Spanish were again encountered by natives and lost hundreds in a cruel battle, killing thousands of hostile warriors. The battle became known as one of the most cruel and the bloodiest in history of North America. The Mississippi River
To keep the battle secret, de Soto sent his troops into Mississippi, reaching Mississippi River in 1541.

To keep the battle secret, de Soto sent his troops into Mississippi, reaching Mississippi River in 1541. Hernando de Soto did not really care for the river itself, seeing it rather as an obstacle. The expedition members built several floats to cross the river but were often hindered by hostile natives and one month later they were finally able to reach the river’s other side, continuing the expedition towards Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. They continued their travel, eventually reaching Caddo River, but after another encounter with dangerous natives, the expedition returned to Mississippi River. The Expedition Failed
In 1542, Hernando de Soto passed away and due to the fact that the expedition did not quite meet the goals, they returned home. From the Spanish point of view, the expedition depicted a failure.

What Do You Think? Why Personal Core Values Are Important
Values are a part of us. They highlight what we stand for. They can represent our unique, individual essence. Values guide our behavior, providing us with a personal code of conduct. When we honor our personal core values consistently, we experience fulfillment. When we don’t, we are incongruent and are more likely to escape into bad habits and regress into childish behavior to uplift ourselves. Knowing Your Personal Values Changes Your Behavior
I still remember going through my first values discovery process when I was 22. I was attending an intensive 4-day seminar devoted to learning about what motivates people. Personal values were a central theme of the event.

What Do You Think?
Content: It influenced what I ate and drank. I now consumed different media and installed different habits. When you value health, you don’t have to wrestle with managing impulse control as much. If you know a particular food or activity isn’t good for your body, you don’t want it. I made a practice of paying attention to how different foods made me feel after I ate them. If something made me sleepy or drained my energy, I took note. I sought to create a way of being that supported a healthy, energizing lifestyle. Many people value comfort. When people value comfort over growth, they are less likely to apply effort to grow. Breaking through resistance to growth is uncomfortable.

High Objective Uniform State Standard of Evaluation (HOUSSE)
FAQ Audience :
Content: Just as each state determines when and on what basis to provide full certification or licensure to teachers already certified in other states, each state determines when and on what basis to accept the determination of another state that a particular teacher is highly qualified. Oklahoma will accept out-of-state content testing if the Oklahoma Office of Educational Quality and Accountability has determined and documented that the test is comparable to an Oklahoma content test. Oklahoma issues an Oklahoma certificate to out-of-state teachers holding National Board Certification and accepts National Board Certification to meet the Highly Qualified requirements. 4. Are local school districts required to inform parents about the quality of a school’s teachers? Yes. At the beginning of each school year, a local school district that accepts Title I, Part A funding must notify parents of students in Title I schools that they can request information regarding their child’s teacher, including, at a minimum: ( 1) whether the teacher has met the state requirements for licensure and certification for the grade levels and subject-matters in which the teacher provides instruction; and (2) whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or their provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and (3) the college major and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree;

holistic (holistic technology)
By
Emily McLaughlin, Content Development Strategist
Holistic (holistic technology) is an approach to IT management that is concerned with viewing and treating a complex computer system as a single entity. Just as a holistic approach to medicine treats each patient as an integrated system and considers how the mind affects the body, a holistic approach to technology focuses on the interdependence of system components. Holistic approaches include: Systems thinking - a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way that a system's constituent parts interrelate, how systems work over time and how they work within the context of even larger systems. Process-centric BPM - a holistic approach to BPM that centers on business processes themselves, rather than individual elements such as documents, workflow or people. Information governance - a holistic approach to managing corporate information by implementing processes, roles, controls and metrics that treat information as a valuable business asset. Supply chain sustainability - a holistic perspective of supply chain processes and technologies that go beyond the focus of delivery, inventory and traditional views of cost. Enterprise risk management - a holistic approach to planning, organizing, leading, and controlling an organization's activities in order to minimize the effects of risk on capital and earnings.

Role of a data architect in making data management project decisions
Learn about the roles of data architects when it comes to making data management project decisions.
Content: Your data architect should be involved in most, if not all, data management projects. It sounds as if there is only data architect in your organization, thus making his or her role in overall data management efforts even more important. If that is in fact the case, your data architect should have a “big picture” view of the data needs of the entire enterprise. The operative word in this context is architect. You of course would want your data architect to be involved in most data management decisions, in the same way you would want an architect to be involved in major decisions about a building. For example, a building architect typically wouldn’t play a role in most day-to-day operations, such as building maintenance – but he probably would have some helpful recommendations about how the building should be maintained for an optimal life span. Regarding the process of choosing a data quality tool, your data architect should have a good understanding of the data quality issues that the organization faces and must be able to address with the selected software. For data governance, there definitely should be a data architect involved – one who can bridge the business and technology worlds from a data/information perspective. While a data architect typically isn’t a voting member of a data governance board, the architect will need to be depended upon to provide valuable input and raise awareness of significant issues requiring data governance and/or data stewardship attention. Since you’re asking this question, I wonder if you have the right person as your data architect or if your organization doesn’t adequately understand the role of a data architect.

While a data architect typically isn’t a voting member of a data governance board, the architect will need to be depended upon to provide valuable input and raise awareness of significant issues requiring data governance and/or data stewardship attention. Since you’re asking this question, I wonder if you have the right person as your data architect or if your organization doesn’t adequately understand the role of a data architect. If you define that role only as developing data models, the person who holds the job should really be called a data modeler, not a data architect. Of course, a data architect does do or oversee data modeling but also does a lot more. The data architect plays a critical role in determining architectural approaches for data environments and helps ensure that the data needs of the enterprise are being met. For example, how and when should data be centralized rather than federated? For a master data management (MDM) program, should a repository or registry approach be taken?

USA Patriot Act
By
Jacqueline Biscobing, Senior Managing Editor, News
The USA Patriot Act is an antiterrorism law enacted by the U.S. Congress in October 2001, at the request of then-President George W. Bush in response to the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, in New York and Washington, D.C. Often referred to simply as the Patriot Act, it was signed by Bush on October 26, 2001. The law gave new powers to the U.S. Department of Justice ( DOJ ), the National Security Agency ( NSA) and other federal agencies on domestic and international surveillance of electronic communications; it also removed legal barriers that had blocked law enforcement, intelligence and defense agencies from sharing information about potential terrorist threats and coordinating efforts to respond to them. But the Patriot Act raised concerns among civil liberties groups and other critics surrounding the data privacy rights of U.S. citizens -- concerns that were heightened significantly in 2013, when NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked information showing that the agency was using the law to justify the bulk collection of data about millions of phone calls. Officially known as the Uniting and Strengthening America Act by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 -- or "USA Patriot Act" -- the law is intended to help government agencies detect and prevent possible acts of terrorism, or sponsorship of terrorist groups. The act comprises 10 categories, called "titles," including: Title I: Enhancing domestic security against terrorism
Title II: Enhanced surveillance procedures
Title III:

Content: cybercrime can include many different types of profit-driven criminal activity, including ransomware attacks, email and internet fraud, and identity fraud, as well as attempts to steal financial account, credit card or other payment card information. Cybercriminals may also target an individual's private information, as well as corporate data for theft and resale. As many workers settle into remote work routines due to the pandemic, cybercrimes are expected to grow in frequency in 2021, making it especially important to protect backup data. Defining cybercrime
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) divides cybercrime into three categories: crimes in which the computing device is the target -- for example, to gain network access; crimes in which the computer is used as a weapon -- for example, to launch a denial-of-service (DoS) attack; and
crimes in which the computer is used as an accessory to a crime -- for example, using a computer to store illegally obtained data. The Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, to which the United States is a signatory, defines cybercrime as a wide range of malicious activities, including the illegal interception of data, system interferences that compromise network integrity and availability, and copyright infringements. The necessity of internet connectivity has enabled an increase in the volume and pace of cybercrime activities because the criminal no longer needs to be physically present when committing a crime. The internet's speed, convenience, anonymity and lack of borders make computer-based variations of financial crimes -- such as ransomware, fraud and money laundering, as well as crimes such as stalking and bullying -- easier to carry out.

Content: Cybercriminals include everyone from the lone user engaged in cyberbullying to state-sponsored actors, like China's intelligence services. Cybercrimes generally do not occur in a vacuum; they are, in many ways, distributed in nature. That is, cybercriminals typically rely on other actors to complete the crime. This is whether it's the creator of malware using the dark web to sell code, the distributor of illegal pharmaceuticals using cryptocurrency brokers to hold virtual money in escrow or state threat actors relying on technology subcontractors to steal intellectual property (IP). Cybercriminals use various attack vectors to carry out their cyberattacks and are constantly seeking new methods and techniques for achieving their goals, while avoiding detection and arrest. Cybercriminals often carry out their activities using malware and other types of software, but social engineering is often an important component for executing most types of cybercrime. Phishing emails are another important component to many types of cybercrime but especially so for targeted attacks, like business email compromise ( BEC ), in which the attacker attempts to impersonate, via email, a business owner in order to convince employees to pay out bogus invoices. A list of the different types of cybercrimes
Types of cybercrime
As mentioned above, there are many different types of cybercrime; most cybercrimes are carried out with the expectation of financial gain by the attackers, though the ways cybercriminals aim to get paid can vary.

Some specific types of cybercrimes include the following: Cyberextortion: A crime involving an attack or threat of an attack coupled with a demand for money to stop the attack. One form of cyberextortion is the ransomware attack. Here, the attacker gains access to an organization's systems and encrypts its documents and files -- anything of potential value -- making the data inaccessible until a ransom is paid.

Cryptojacking attacks may involve loading cryptocurrency mining software to the victim's system. However, many attacks depend on JavaScript code that does in-browser mining if the user's browser has a tab or window open on the malicious site.

Content: DDoS attacks are sometimes carried out simply for malicious reasons or as part of a cyberextortion scheme, but they may also be used to distract the victim organization from some other attack or exploit carried out at the same time. Infecting systems and networks with malware is an example of an attack used to damage the system or harm users. This can be done by damaging the system, software or data stored on the system. Ransomware attacks are similar, but the malware acts by encrypting or shutting down victim systems until a ransom is paid. Phishing campaigns are used to infiltrate corporate networks. This can be by sending fraudulent emails to users in an organization, enticing them to download attachments or click on links that then spread viruses or malware to their systems and through their systems to their company's networks. A credentials attack is when a cybercriminal aims to steal or guess user IDs and passwords for the victim's systems or personal accounts. They can be carried out through the use of brute-force attacks by installing keylogger software or by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or hardware that can expose the victim's credentials. Cybercriminals may also attempt to hijack a website to change or delete content or to access or modify databases without authorization. For example, an attacker may use a Structured Query Language (SQL) injection exploit to insert malicious code into a website, which can then be used to exploit vulnerabilities in the website's database, enabling a hacker to access and tamper with records or gain unauthorized access to sensitive information a

cold cloning
By
Erin Sullivan, Site Editor
Cold cloning is a cloning method that takes place while the server OS is not running. For virtual machines (VMs), cold cloning encapsulates the physical server into a virtual image, converting the operating system and all files, drivers and user data to a single file format. This new format is then made compatible with a virtualization platform and uploaded to a virtual server. Cold cloning can also be used for databases by copying and restoring a database image. The database image is then set up as a new instance, which can reside on a new system or that of the original database. With cold cloning, the source database is completely shut down before the copied image is created. Since no files are open during the conversion, cold cloning has a smaller chance of data loss or corruption than the alternative, hot cloning. For data sensitive operations such as email and database servers, cold cloning is the better option because there are no inconsistencies between the copies. However, because the server OS is inactive, cold cloning results in more downtime and a disruption in workflow, which is not ideal when working with mission critical data.

History of the Internet
Content: Logging out of accounts instead of just closing the tab or window. Using caution with spam emails and never opening or downloading content from unknown sources. Using caution when accessing public Wi-Fi or hotspots. Additionally, there is an element of the Internet called the dark web. The dark web is hidden and inaccessible through standard browsers. Instead, it uses the Tor and I2P browsers which allow users to remain entirely anonymous. While this anonymity can be a great way to protect an online user's security and free speech or for the government to keep classified data hidden, the dark web also creates an environment that facilitates cybercrime, the transfer of illegal goods and terrorism. Social impact of the Internet
The social impact of the Internet can be seen as both positive and negative. On one side, people argue that the Internet has increased the risk of isolation, alienation and withdrawal from society, pointing to increases in an emotional response called FOMO, or the fear of missing out. On the other side, people believe the Internet to have had the opposite effect on society, arguing that the Internet increases civic engagement, sociability and the intensity of relationships.

One example of change is the increased focus on personal growth and a decline in a community that is determined by work, family and space. People are now constructing social relationships based on individual interests, projects and values. Communities are being formed by like-minded individuals not only offline and in person, but through the Internet and the multitude of online environments which it creates and offers. Social networking sites -- like Facebook and LinkedIn -- have become the preferred platforms for both businesses and individuals looking to perform all kinds of tasks and communicate with others.

Paints are generally made from toxic substances, and their solvents are equally dangerous. Ventilation and breathing protection are very important. When painting indoors you must make sure you have a good ventilating fan or blower to pull vapors outside. Wear a proper filtration mask that removes organic vapors. If you feel dizzy, nauseated or disoriented while painting, stop and get some fresh air. data-matched-content-ui-type="image_card_stacked" data-matched-content-rows-num="3" data-matched-content-columns-num="1" data-ad-format="autorelaxed">

Dealing With Discrimination Against the Elderly
By Heather Long
Copied! Internet sites often engage in ageism by targeting younger demographics. Source
Did you get forced into retirement because of your age? This is a form of senior age discrimination. Discrimination against the elderly is a bias against the elderly based on their age and not on merit of the individual. While discrimination usually refers to negative behavior, it can also refer to increased generosity and kindness towards seniors because of their age. About Discrimination Against the Elderly
In cases of discrimination against the elderly, the discrimination may also include acts of psychological and physical punishment: Older employees may be forced to take early retirement or phased out of their employment situations
Age limits implemented preventing more mature employees from taking advantage of educational programs
Limits on available public transportation, diminishing quality of life
Discounts for seniors offset some of these issues
Lack of supportive education to overcome barriers in technology
Society maintains a stereotype about elderly Americans. In many ways, the stereotype is negative associated with perceptions about aging. This negative stereotype is perpetuated by jokes and common phrases such as old fart, over the hill, older than dirt and more.

Victim Studies 004: Ted Bundy
Content: After his arrest in 1975, Bundy was made to take many psychiatric examinations. It was determined, at the time, that he was a sociopath. Sociopaths are thought to know and understand what is right and wrong, but it does not sway their decisions. Bundy claimed to not believe in guilt and even until the day he was executed would not take responsibility for his actions. Throughout his time in prison and court he blamed pornography, his mother, police, society, his grandfather, the media, his absent father figure and on some occasions he blamed his victims for looking too vulnerable. Prior to his death Bundy began to give confessions concerning his murders. It is thought that he was confessing not because he felt any form of guilt, but because he wanted to avoid the death penalty for as long as possible. On January 24, 1989 Bundy was executed by electric chair. Although Bundy confessed to approximately 36 murders, police believe that he murdered more than 100 women during his serial series. Sources:

Content: the level of education is often proportional to the level of skill. With a higher level of education, a person often has more advanced skills that few workers are able to offer, justifying a higher wage. The impact of education on economic inequality is still profound in developed countries and cities [3]. Although there are usually policies of free education in developed nations, levels of education received by each individual still differ, not because of financial ability but innate qualities like intelligence, drive and personal ability. For example, in Hong Kong, 12 years of free education are provided for each citizen, not covering tertiary education, offered only when students receive certain results on public exams. Moreover, receiving the same level of education does not mean receiving education of the same quality. This accounts for the difference in abilities and hence wages for individuals all receiving, for example, 12 years of education. Therefore, it seems no matter how good the social welfare policy of a country is at preventing denial of education due to financial difficulties, differences in education, in terms of levels and quality, still play a prominent role in economic inequality. (iii) Growth in technology widens income gap
Growth in technology arguably renders joblessness at all skill levels [3]. For unskilled workers, computers and machinery perform a lot of tasks these workers used to be do.

The income gap between workers who earn by their skills and owners who earn by investing in capital has widened. Although both skilled and unskilled workers are adversely affected by the technological advance, it seems unskilled workers are subject to worse outcomes [3]. This is because the labor market may still need skilled workers to use computers and operate the advanced machines. The rightward shift in the demand for skilled labor creates an increase in the relative wages of the skilled compared to the unskilled workers.

It may be difficult to justify such differences. According to a U.S. Census report [4], the wage gap is not fully explained even after accounting for key factors that affect earnings, such as discrimination and the tendency of women to consider factors other than pay when looking for work. The only thing we know for sure is that gender does contribute to a difference in wages in society and hence economic inequality. (v) Personal factors
It is generally believed that innate abilities play a part in determining the wealth of an individual. Hence, individuals possessing different sets of abilities may have different levels of wealth, leading to economic inequality [3].
