This document provides a summary of qualifications and experience for Donna Titus-Johnson. She has over 15 years of experience successfully supervising staff in K-12 schools. Her most recent role was as Principal of Washington Academy from 2012 to present, where she effectively supervised staff, ensured adherence to IEPs, reduced behavior incidents, and incorporated technology into instruction. She also has experience as Principal of Central Jersey Arts Charter School from 2010 to 2012.
The document provides information on the 2010 Honda Element, including three trim levels: LX, EX 4WD, and SC. It describes the Element's features such as its versatile interior with multiple seating configurations, 166-horsepower engine, available all-wheel drive, and focus on cargo space and utility. Specifications are provided for each trim level such as dimensions, fuel economy, safety features, entertainment options, and accessories available for the 2010 Honda Element.
Horwath HTL provides a quarterly update on key hotel markets in China. The data shows year-over-year performance declines for most markets in Q4 2009 compared to Q4 2008, with RevPAR declines ranging from 7% to 53%. Underlying demand grew in some markets like Guangzhou and Hangzhou, but average room rates continued to decline across China, putting pressure on revenue. Looking ahead to 2010, occupancy levels are expected to rise as new supply impacts subside, but average rates may continue to decline as hotels discount to boost occupancy.
The ethanol extracts of Ficus asperifolia, Mormordica charantia, Anacardium
occidentals and Psidium guajava were evaluated sole and in treatment combinations at 25, 50 and
75mg ml-1 concentration levels against the mycelial growth of Macrophomina phaseolina of
Cowpea. The pathogen was cultured on plates containing botanicals amended Potato Dextrose
Agar (PDA) in three replicates while only ethanol treated PDA tested plates served the control
experiment. The radial growths were recorded at 4th, 6th and 8th day after inoculation. Data
obtained were analysed using the SAS software program version 9.2. The extract of Mormordica
charantia was the most effective in the botanical treatments alone. The most significant inhibition
of Macrophomina phaseolina were observed from the combined treatments of Ficus asperifolia,
Mormordica charantia and Anacardium occidentals (3.11 cm), followed by Mormordica
charantia and Psidium guajava (3.29 cm), then combination of four extracts; Ficus asperifolia,
Mormordica charantia, Anacardium occidentals and Psidium guajava (3.53 cm), then
Mormordica charantia and Anacardium occidentals (3.84 cm). Other treatments, either alone or in
combination produced significant result compared to the control experiment (6.94 cm). However,
the efficacy of botanicals increased with concentration and also significantly correlated with time
and reduction in mycelia extension of the pathogen. More so, variability in the antifungicidal
potentials of the botanicals on Macrophomina phaseolina ranges from 15.93% to 34.06%
according to Eigen proportions. The treatment combinations of; Ficus asperifolia, Mormordica
charantia and Anacardium occidentals at 75mg ml-1 concentration level produced the most
inhibitory effect against Macrophomina phaseolina in vitro. However, the untreated plates did not
show inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of the pathogen. Therefore, combined treatments of
botanicals could be a potential source in the practice of plant disease control.
The Cougar 4x4 is a ballistically and blast-protected vehicle that can transport six passengers and equipment. It has withstood thousands of IED and landmine attacks since being introduced in 2004, allowing for an outstanding survival rate. It is highly reparable, often returning to service within hours if damaged.
The document discusses synthetic biology and modular engineering approaches. It describes how standardized biological parts and interchangeable genetic components allow for hierarchical assembly of genetically engineered systems in a way analogous to electrical engineering. This modular approach is facilitated by standards for biological parts, assembly methods, and abstraction levels that allow for complex designs. The document also summarizes the work of the Debrecen-Hungary iGEM team, which developed a toolkit of lipid sensors and expression vectors to expand synthetic biology tools in eukaryotic systems.
School children learn about health and nutrition with the Maya ProjectInes Varela-Silva
Children at a school learned about health, nutrition, and Maya culture through hands-on activities with corn, tortillas, rice, beans, and drawing. They handled corn, felt tortillas, saw examples of traditional Maya foods cooked on a comal, and shared meals to learn about important Maya crops like corn, beans, and rice while gaining knowledge about nutrition.

This study was carried out to isolate and identify pathogenic microorganisms associated with
deterioration of tomato fruits. Fruit samples of infected and non-infected tomatoes were collected from
two open markets, Oja-Oba and Sabo in Osogbo, Nigeria. Each of the tomato was cut and the liquid
content inoculated on nutrient agar and potato dextrose agar, incubated at 37 0C and 25 0C, respectively,
and observed from 24 hours to 5 days, after which different colonies obtained were identified using slide
culture technique. Two bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus spp, as well as two fungi Aspergillus
flavus and Rhizopus stolonifer were observed in the tomato samples in both markets. Prevalence indices
revealed that isolated pathogens is higher at Sabo market than Oja-Oba market. Pathogenicity tests also
revealed that both of bacteria and fungi caused fruit decay. Consumers’ awareness on potential health
hazards of consuming relatively cheaper and pathogen contaminated spoilt fruits should be intensified.

Η λέξη ‘ολοκαύτωµα’ δεν αποτελεί νομικό όρο. Προέρχεται από την αρχαία λέξη ολόκαυστον, που σηµαίνει "πλήρως καµένη προσφορά θυσίας" σε θεό. Ο όρος χρησιµοποιείται για να περιγράψει την άνευ προηγουµένου καταστροφή του Εβραϊκού στοιχείου στην Ευρώπη από τη ναζιστική θηριωδία.
Ο όρος γενοκτονία διατυπώνεται για πρώτη φορά το 1944 µε αφορµή το εβραϊκό ολοκαύτωµα. Η λέξη γενοκτονία είναι η σύνθεση του ουσιαστικού ‘γένος’ και του ρήµατος ‘αποκτείνω’,
Ο φιλόσοφος Jean-Paul Sartre έγραψε ότι ‘η πραγµατικότητα της γενοκτονίας είναι τόσο παλαιά όσο και η ανθρωπότητα’.
Η πρώτη νοµικά καταχωρηµένη διάπραξη αυτού του εγκλήµατος αποδείχθηκε με τη δίκη της Νυρεµβέργης, όπου ορίστηκε ως η συστηµατική και προµελετηµένη εξόντωση ενός λαού λόγω της εθνικής, φυλετικής και θρησκευτικής ιδιαιτερότητάς του.
Το 1951 ο Ο.Η.Ε όρισε ότι οι δράστες τέτοιου εγκλήµατος είτε εν καιρώ ειρήνης είτε εν καιρώ πολέµου πρέπει να θεωρούνται προσωπικά υπεύθυνοι και να δικάζονται. Τα στοιχεία που απαιτούνται είναι:
α) η πρόθεση των δραστών να εξολοθρέψει την οµάδα των θυµάτων,
β) η οµάδα των θυµάτων να έχει κοινά εθνικά, φυλετικά, θρησκευτικά χαρακτηριστικά
γ) η οµάδα των θυµάτων να πλήττεται µερικά ή στο σύνολό της
δ) η γενοκτονία να γίνεται µε οποιαδήποτε από τις παρακάτω πράξεις,
δηλαδή είτε µε φόνο των µελών της οµάδας
είτε µε πρόκληση σοβαρής σωµατικής ή διανοητικής βλάβης , είτε µε επιβολή στην οµάδα συνθηκών ζωής που επιφέρουν τη φυσική καταστροφή της,
είτε µε παρεµπόδιση των γεννήσεων µέσα στην οµάδα,
είτε µε βίαιη µετακίνηση παιδιών από την µία οµάδα στην άλλη.
Από αυτά καθίσταται φανερό ότι η οµάδα των δραστών εξοντώνει ή κακοποιεί την οµάδα των θυµάτων όχι για κάτι που η τελευταία έκανε, αλλά για αυτό που είναι στο πλαίσιο έλλειψης ανεκτικότητας. Αντίθετα, όπου δεν υπάρχει συγκεκριµένη πρόθεση, η πράξη είναι τιµωρητέα, όχι σαν γενοκτονία αλλά ως έγκληµα κατά της ανθρωπότητας.
Κατά τον α’ Παγκόσµιο Πόλεµο, το 1915, οι σφαγές που εκτελέστηκαν από τις Οθωµανικές αρχές ενάντια στους Αρµένιους ονοµάστηκαν από τις συμμαχικές κυβερνήσεις, «εγκλήµατα ενάντια στην ανθρωπότητα και τον πολιτισµό». Στο τέλος του Πολέµου, οι νικηφόροι Σύµµαχοι συµφώνησαν ότι οι αγριότητες που πραγµατοποιήθηκαν κατά των χριστιανικών µειονοτήτων από την Οθωµανική διοίκηση, συµπεριλαµβανοµένων των Αρµενίων, Ελλήνων και των Ασσυρίων, πρέπει να ερευνηθούν και να τιµωρηθούν, και ότι για τις υλικές ζηµίες πρέπει να αποζηµιωθούν. Σχετική διατύπωση αποτελεί το άρθρο 230 της Συνθήκης των Σεβρών. Το κείµενο όμως της σχετικής συνθήκης για τη γενοκτονία δεν εφαρµόστηκε ποτέ και τα εγκλήµατα έµειναν ατιµώρητα.
Υπάρχει ένας ακόμα σχετικός όρος , η‘εθνική εκκαθάριση’, που συχνά ταυτίζεται µε τον όρο γενοκτονία, δεν εµπεριέχει όμως πρόθεση των δραστών για καταστροφή µιας εθνικής, φυλετικής ή θρησκευτικής οµάδας.
This presentation reviews literature related to the prevention, detection, mitigation and response to events resulting from low voltage cable failures. The most serious outcomes are manhole fires, explosions and contact voltage electric shocks. Smoking manholes, stray voltage (contact voltage) and service quality complaints are less serious outcomes.
This document provides a project experience summary listing over 40 wastewater, water, transportation, and community facility projects the author has worked on. The wastewater projects include treatment plants, tunnels, interceptors, and pumping stations located across the western United States. Water projects involve storage reservoirs, water treatment plants, and distribution systems. Community facility experience includes visitor centers and hatcheries. A variety of public agency clients in multiple states are represented.
