Top 10 Scientists Killed or Injured by Their Experiments - Listverse. Technology Man owes a great debt to the scientists on this list; all of them died or were injured in their pursuit of knowledge. The advances they have all made to science are extraordinary and many of them paved the way for some of man’s greatest discoveries and inventions. Karl Scheele Died from tasting his discoveries Scheele was a brilliant pharmaceutical chemist who discovered many chemical elements – the most notable of which were oxygen (though Joseph Priestley published his findings first), molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, and chlorine. Jean-Francois De Rozier First victim of an air crash Jean-Francois was a teacher of physics and chemistry. Sir David Brewster Nearly blinded Sir David was a Scottish inventor, scientist, and writer. Elizabeth Ascheim Killed by X-Rays Elizabeth Fleischman Ascheim married her doctor, Dr Woolf, shortly after her mother died.

What impact did 9/11 have on America? | The panel | US news. Martin Kettle: 'US politics remains defined by an argument over tax cuts and government, which long predates 9/11' I covered American politics for the Guardian for four years from 1997. I moved back to Britain towards the end of August 2001. Three weeks later, the country I had lived in ceased to exist. I occasionally wonder how US politics would have evolved if Al Gore had been president in 9/11.
In the short term, the domestic impact would have been much uglier. But Gore was not president. American politics before 9/11 was defined by the Republican, small-state and post cold war imperial triumphalism associated with Ronald Reagan. I think that this remains the essential divide in US politics in 2011. The fact that Bush's version of these agendas, after considerable political success following 9/11, was then swept away in 2008 has not meant that the US has swung lastingly to the left, any more than it was doing under Clinton. The attacks of 9/11 did not come out of nowhere. Resilience. Beautiful Word Clouds. Klassy's Class Rules in American Sign Language.

Pamela Harris, Retired Nutrition Faculty & Ralph Johnson, Architecture Professor Montana State University Since fall semester 2001 Harris and Johnson have provided faculty development workshops at Montana State University entitled "Developing a Mentorship Program for Non-Traditional Teaching and Learning Techniques. " Forty MSU faculty representing all seven colleges have completed 15-20 hours of continuing education to assist them in understanding and implementing a broad variety of non-traditional teaching and learning techniques.
In 2002 Harris and Johnson presented a workshop on this model at the International Conference on Problem-Based Learning in Higher Education in Baltimore, Maryland.

The publication consists of two general sections: (1) an introduction, which contains, in addition to this overview, information about the background and contexts in which the standards were developed, and a description of the audiences to which the standards are addressed; and (2) the standards themselves.
The subject matter standards are the main focus of this publication.

Captain Thomas Preston March 13, 1770 It is [a] matter of too great notoriety to need any proofs that the arrival of his Majesty's troops in Boston was extremely obnoxious to its inhabitants.
They have ever used all means in their power to weaken the regiments, and to bring them into contempt by promoting and aiding desertions, and with impunity, even where there has been the clearest evidence of the fact, and by grossly and falsely propagating untruths concerning them. On the arrival of the 64th and 65th their ardour seemingly began to abate; it being too expensive to buy off so many, and attempts of that kind rendered too dangerous from the numbers. And has ever since their departure been breaking out with greater violence after their embarkation. This, considering the malicious temper of the people, was an alarming circumstance to the soldiery. On Monday night about 8 o'clock two soldiers were attacked and beat.
This I feared might be a prelude to their plundering the king's chest. America's Homepage and the Virtual Tour of Washington, D.C.

The 25 Funniest Analogies (Collected by High School English Teachers) | Writing English. UPDATE: Tens of thousands of readers have found this post and hundreds of you have commented. A few have said that these analogies were actually taken from other sources and were not written by high school kids at all. Now, we have a link that ends the debate. These analogies are the winning entries in a 1999 Washington Post humor contest, and there are more than 25.

Top 10 'SNL' Political Sketches Of All Time. “Saturday Night Live” celebrates its 40th anniversary on NBC Sunday night. Forty seasons would be a remarkable run for any television show. But, at the risk of sounding uncharitable, it’s even more remarkable given how frequently SNL has fallen into mediocrity -- with skits, whole shows, or sometimes entire seasons that simply weren’t very funny.
So why have viewers like me kept coming back? Because when SNL is on, it’s very, very on. Its cast and crew have occasionally produced true comic genius, creating skits and characters that left indelible impressions on the national psyche -- and may even have nudged the political conversation in one direction or another. Politics have been part of the show from the very beginning, when Chevy Chase, an original cast member, famously lampooned former President Gerald Ford as a bumbling klutz. To watch the old skits is to relive American history, or at least one take on it. 10. 9. 8. Carvey was possibly the show’s most gifted impersonator. 7. 6. Educational Leadership:Strong Readers All:Vocabulary: Five Common Misconceptions. Some teachers mistakenly think students only need to know a word's definition. These teachers may identify words they believe are important and then either define these words for students or ask students to find the definitions for themselves in the dictionary.
Although knowing a word's definition is important, it's not nearly enough. To know a word well and use it appropriately and effectively, students need to be aware of its multiple dimensions (Bromley, 2012). For example, consider various dimensions of the word cappuccino: Structure and pronunciation.
(It has four syllables—cap-uh-cheen'-o.) Grammar. Most students will best learn the many dimensions of words through direct instruction that includes the definition and the etymology, or origin, of the word. When students see a new word in print, use it orally as they talk about it, notice its structure and grammatical function, and learn its spelling, they are well on their way to making the word their own.

Crosswalk Between 6+1 Traits and CCSS English Language Arts Standards for Writing and Language. Education Northwest developed a set of crosswalk documents to assist teachers in understanding the relationship between the expectations in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and elements of the 6+1 Trait Writing model. These comparisons demonstrate how the traits can provide all students of any grade level with a solid grasp of high-quality writing and support achievement of the expectations described in the CCSS writing standards. Together, these crosswalk documents demonstrate that: The traits show how to assess the quality of the writing outlined in the CCSS and monitor a student’s growth by using the traits rubricsThe traits focus on universal features of quality writing applicable to all purposes and text types of writing, including the argumentative, informative/explanatory, and narrative text types that are the focus of the CCSS There are five crosswalks in total: two K–5 crosswalks, two Grade 6–12 crosswalks, and one K–12 crosswalk.

Second Grade. How SEL Can Help Students Gain a Multicultural Perspective | Edutopia. Carlos Cortés, a professor of history at UC Riverside in California, maintains that it is the job of schools in a pluralistic democracy to help all students become what he calls "multicultural persons. " He outlines this as a person who can: Understand the importance and operation of groups.
Acquire an understanding of various cultures and worldviews. Recognize and understand others' perspectives before forming judgments about them. Realize the contributions of individual groups and diverse groups -- pluribus and num -- to our nation's history and future experiences. See how shared goals benefit from the contributions of diverse groups, each with its own history and future.

Authors This article outlines a small-scale study of metacognitive instruction for young second language listeners and discusses the value of lessons that highlight the listening process.
Ten primary school pupils participated in eight specially designed listening lessons that included traditional listening exercises, individual post-listening reflections on their listening experience, and teacher-facilitated discussions that focused on specific aspects of metacognitive knowledge about listening. During the eight lessons, the learners demonstrated some knowledge about factors that influenced their listening and strategy use. After the eight lessons, all the students reported a deeper understanding of the nature and the demands of listening, increased confidence in completing listening tasks, and better strategic knowledge for coping with comprehension difficulties.

As a guest on public sails, I noticed that wooden ships are more like living things than technology: the hulls creak and groan and sing with the sound of the sea, the standing rigging hums like giant harp strings, the sails snap out like vast dragon wings. This soundscape captures the unique feel of ships that fly on the wind. ♥ Because of my recent addiction to an anime about pirates, or better known as One Piece, this helps me write fanfiction relating to that particular anime.
