In Memory Sandy Hook Elementary School Newtown, ConnecticutCece 425
There are not enough words in the English language to express how I feel in the wake of the horror at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
My heart breaks and my eyes are filled with tears. I pray for the survivors, families and first responders of this horrible tragedy.
Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

I need help with this question. Please help me with all the descriptions.
Match each climate with its description. No climate will be used more than once. Two will not
be used. (1 pt. each) Despite low precipitation ( < 10 " per year), bogs, swamps, and lakes cover
this area of northern Alaska and Canada in the summers due to low evaporation and presence of
permafrost. Vegetation is shrubs, grasses, and mosses, but no trees. Semi-desert, with only 10-20
inches precipitation per year. Found in the Great Plains and eastern Oregon and Washington, it
has short grasses and fertile soils. Has hot, humid summers (convective showers) and mild, rainy
winters (cyclonic storms). Broadleaf deciduous forest is dominant. The southeastern U.S. and
southeastern China have this climate (although in China, winters are dry). Hot, dry summers
caused by dry, subsiding air from the subtropical highs moving over these areas. Found in
Greece, Italy, and southern California. Chaparral vegetation. Agriculture includes citrus fruits,
grapes, tree nuts, and olives. Receives abundant precipitation all year due to being under ITCZ.
Soils are leached rapidly when broadleaf evergreen forest is cleared for farming. Located further
from equator than the other A climates, it has a dry season during the "winter" when subtropical
high pressure moves over this area of grasslands. The world's most extensive forests, called
boreal forest in Canada (taiga in Russia), are found in this region of low precipitation and long,
cold winters. It has the highest annual temperature range of any climate region. Cyclonic
precipitation (especially in winter) and mild temperatures characterize this humid climate found
in the British Isles, New Zealand, and British Columbia. Variability describes this climate, with
tornadoes, blizzards, thunderstorms, and both heat and cold waves common. Found in the
northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada and around the Great Lakes. Precipitation is scarce
and unreliable, but intense when it comes. Only xerophytic plants survive. Occurs in rain
shadows of mountains or under the subtropical highs. Found in southwestern U.S., northern
Africa, and central Australia. [ Choose] tropical wet (Af) Mediterranean (Csa/Csb) humid
subtropical (Cfa/Cwa) desert (BWh/BWk) steppe (BSh/BSk) tropical savanna (Aw) tundra (ET)

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
3. Climate map Temperature and precipitation are its most important expressions and vegetation is its most visible expression. Animal life adapts to both climate and vegetation.
4. climate A climograph that combines monthly precipitation and temperature statistics on a single graph. Precipitation is shown using a bar graph and temperature is shown using a line graph. Climate influences vegetation, soils, landforms, and water resources, and many human activities as well. A climate region is a portion of the earth's surface over which the climate characteristics are similar. average condition of the weather based upon statistics collected over a period of 30 years.
5.
6. precipitation Rainfall amounts in North America range from over 150 cm in the rain forests to less than 50 cm in the mountainous areas of the West.
7. Though broadleaf temperate forests are found along the Gulf Coast, a substantial amount of southern pine forest are found in Southeastern United States as well.
9. night lights Black – sea level, Light Gray – over 10,000 ‘ Based upon satellite measurements of city lights, this image is a map of the urban population density of North America. Most major cities are in level areas along an ocean, bay, large lake, or navigable river .

11. North America biomes Biomes are defined as "the world's major communities, classified according to the predominant vegetation and characterized by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment" (Campbell).
13. Eight world biomes The orange area is tundra, purple is taiga, green is grassland, black is temperate forest, yellow is desert, blue is tropical rain forest, brown is chaparral and the white is ocean. Windows Original
14. tundra The Arctic tundra is a cold, vast, treeless area of low, swampy plains in the far north around the Arctic Ocean. It includes the northern lands of Alaska and Canada. Since the sun does not rise for nearly six months of the year, it is not unusual for the temperature to be below -30°F in winter. The earth’s coldest biome
15. Alaska’s denali The Alaskan denali is a treeless tundra with only mosses and lichen vegetation in the summer, and covered with snow the rest of the year.
16. denali glaciers At the left-center of the picture is North America's highest peak, the 20,320 foot summit of Mt. McKinley. It's also known as Denali (the Great One). To the west is Mt. Forager (17,400 ft), and in the foreground are several of the dozens of large glaciers emanating from the Alaska Range. This unusually clear wintertime aerial photo shows a portion of the Alaska Range in south central Alaska.
17. ridge bedded glacier Glaciers can Be subdivided according to substrate over which they flow. This in turn affects their characteristics, including their speed, their ability to erode and deposit and consequently their landform record.

23. climographs All climates in the Northern Boreal Forest tend to have cold, long winters, short cool summers, and low precipitation. The graphs on the left show average annual temperature and precipitation for two localities at the margins of this biome.
24. Marine West Coast The marine or humid west coast climate is found on the west coast of mid-latitude climates and is very humid through most of the year. Westerly winds from the ocean bring cloudy skies, much precipitation, and mild temperatures.
25. Marine climate compared to Europe The significant difference between climate characteristics of Vancouver and London, both Marine West Coast climates, arises from location, local topography, and ocean current influence. The dry summer in Vancouver is due in part to subsiding, subtropical high pressure lying to the south. Precipitation is nearly double that of London due to local orographic uplift of air.
30. Alpine tundra Rocky Mountain high This biome exists at the tops of high mountains, above the tree line. The growing season is about 180 days, and nighttime temperatures are usually below freezing.
32. Continental Divide This line separating waters that flow into the Atlantic Ocean from those that flow into the Pacific Ocean runs north-south along the crest of the Rocky Mountains.
34. deciduous forest Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe.
35. temperature, precipitation graphs Differences in the species of the Eastern Deciduous Forest ecosystem result from local differences in climate and soil types. The graphs indicate the trends shown on the previous slide.
36. prairie The prairie biome is a plant community dominated by grasses and non-grassy herbs with some woody shrubs and occasional trees.
37. Temperate grasslands are characterized by hot summers and cold winters. Evaporation rate is high, so little rain makes it into the rich soil. Mid-grass prairie near Manhattan, Kansas Great Plains grasslands
38. Great Plains In the Prairies ecozone, rivers and streams are slow moving, usually with muddy bottoms. There are few lakes, but many marshes and small shallow ponds.
39. desert Although most deserts occur at low latitudes, cold deserts occur in the basin and range area of Utah and Nevada. sparse vegetation, very low plant diversity
40. Sonoran Desert This is the hottest of our North American deserts, its rainfall pattern produces a high biological diversity. The Sonoran Desert is an arid region covering 120,000 square miles in southwestern Arizona and southeastern California, Baja California and the western half of the state of Sonora, Mexico.
41. Californian chaparral A chaparral is a shrubby coastal area that has hot dry summers and mild, cool, rainy winters. Annual rainfall in a chaparral ranges from 15–40” per year. The word chaparral comes from "chaparro," which means scrub oak in Spanish.
42. Rain forest Tropical rain forests are mainly the product of climatic interactions, particularly temperature and rainfall. They occur where monthly temperature of 20 - 28 ° C combines with an annual rainfall of 1.5 -10m, evenly distributed throughout the year.
43. Central American rain forest The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth with an annual average of 50- 260” of rain. These forests belong to the tropical wet climate group .
