UNESCO ASPNet The UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network, or ASPNet for short, is a program established in 1953 to encourage schools worldwide to educate students on issues related to UNESCO's "overarching goal of promoting peace and international understanding". As of 2008[update], it includes nearly eight thousand educational institutions in over 170 countries. ASPnet schools conduct their own projects, often linking with schools from other countries, or may become involved in a UNESCO-coordinated activity, such as the "World Heritage in Young Hands" project. A national coordinator, typically housed at the National Commission, serves as the liaison between the schools and UNESCO.[1] References[edit] External links[edit] Official website

How to Make Home Made Weapons Three language lessons you can learn from the word “schlemiel” In honor of National Poetry Month, let’s tackle some of the trickiest aspects of meaning — after all, poetry is one of the great ways to express subtle and slippery thoughts. Our focus today is translation. How can someone convey the meaning of a word that has no equivalent in another language? Among the toughest words to translate, and there are some doozies, schlemiel is a top contender. It is a Yiddish word for a chronically unlucky person. The trouble behind “schlemiel” presents us with a common translation problem – the translator will inherently run into words in one language that may not have an equivalent word in the other language. (Curious to learn some of the toughest words to convey in English, like prozvonit and hyggelig? Here are three tools that the skilled translator keeps at hand when faced with an untranslatable word. When confronted with a lacuna (a gap in a piece of writing), a translator may resort to free translation or adaptation. Dr. Mrs. Anonymous
Firearm A firearm is a portable gun, being a barreled weapon that launches one or more projectiles often defined by the action of an explosive.[1][2][3] The first primitive firearms were invented in 13th century China when the man portable fire lance (a bamboo or metal tube that could shoot ignited gunpowder) was combined with projectiles such as scrap metal, broken porcelain, or darts/arrows.[4] The technology gradually spread through the rest of East Asia, South Asia, Middle East and then into Europe. In older firearms, the propellant was typically black powder, but modern firearms use smokeless powder or other propellants. Most modern firearms (with the notable exception of smoothbore firearms) have rifled barrels to impart spin to the projectile for improved flight stability. Firearms may sometimes be referred to as small arms when they are intended primarily for use by military forces if they can be carried by a single individual. The manufacture of firearms is a large industry.
Big Picture Survival Gardening And a Way to Relax and De-Stress Survival gardening can be fun, relaxing and actually quite simple… Many people seem to think they don’t have enough space for a garden but the areas where you can learn how to grow a basic vegetable garden are endless. Yep, I am talking about those spaces we try to fill in with all kinds of flowers, shrubs, and even in some cases, gravel, so that it looks nice…. :) Plant your veggies there. Along Side Your House The area alongside the house is perfect for plants as it is protected from many things, such as: Frost, will stay frost-free longer in the fallcritters, we have to protect everything we grow here in Montana from hungry deerhail, heavy rains, strong wind… plus the plants seem to grow faster and I think it may be because heat is magnified. You may want to use non-hybrid seeds to do gardening as you will be able to harvest your own seeds for the following year this way.

Fibonacci number A tiling with squares whose side lengths are successive Fibonacci numbers In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci sequence are the numbers in the following integer sequence: or (often, in modern usage): (sequence A000045 in OEIS). The Fibonacci spiral: an approximation of the golden spiral created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling;[3] this one uses squares of sizes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34. By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are either 1 and 1, or 0 and 1, depending on the chosen starting point of the sequence, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation with seed values or The Fibonacci sequence is named after Fibonacci. Fibonacci numbers are closely related to Lucas numbers in that they are a complementary pair of Lucas sequences. Origins[edit] List of Fibonacci numbers[edit] and
Understanding Compound Bows | Bowhunting Knowledge | Bowhunting.Com Any time you flex a spring you cause it to store energy. If you take a coil spring and compress it, you have put energy in. If you release the compression, the spring will straighten back out and give up the energy. It’s the same with the limbs on a bow. Compound bow eccentrics are simply a system of levers designed to give you a mechanical advantage when storing energy in the bow during the draw cycle. The basic eccentric system on a compound is made up of a string, one or two eccentrics (or cams) and one or two harnesses or cables. Single-cam bows, on the other hand, have only one harness that is used to pull the limb tips toward each other. The shape of the cam determines how the draw feels and also determines how much energy the bow stores. An eccentric cam is just a convenient way to package two levers – a teeter-totter, if you will. You get "letoff" when the harness is right next to the axle. Some bows have a hard back-wall in the letoff valley while others are softer.
Lakeside School Its most famous alumni are Bill Gates and Paul Allen, founders of Microsoft, who got their start programming tic-tac-toe on a time-shared computer provided by the Lakeside Mothers' Association and the Lakeside Mathematics Department. Other famous alumni include the McCaw brothers, who built a family business into the McCaw Cellular telephone empire which they eventually sold to AT&T Wireless; actor Adam West; bestselling author Po Bronson; and former Washington State Governor Booth Gardner. History[edit] Lakeside sends 100% of its graduating class to four-year colleges.[3] Global Service Learning[edit] Established in the summer of 2005, the school's Global Service Learning Program aims at helping students gain a broader view of the world while helping the underprivileged around the world. The Global Service Learning Program is one piece of a broad change in curriculum and administrative policies aimed at increasing diversity. Notable alumni[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
