The document describes the planets in our solar system from the Sun to Pluto. It provides key details about each planet such as their ages, temperatures, compositions and sizes. It also notes the discovery of Sedna in 2003 by three scientists and mentions that Venus is the hottest planet while Pluto is the smallest. The core is described as the hot metal center of a planet.
Europa is one of Jupiter's many moons. It has a very smooth icy surface with few craters. Underneath the icy crust, scientists hypothesize there is either a liquid ocean or warm convecting ice. If an ocean exists, it could harbor life similar to what is found near hydrothermal vents on Earth. Any life would likely be primitive microbes. While harder to imagine than life on other planets, the possibility of life on Europa's ocean makes it a compelling target for further study.
A powerpoint presentation I made for our physics class. It was actually a group thing but I had to edit and start all over again but this looks not that good for me because this is a result of "cramming"! If you were part of my physics class, I swear, God bless!
Uranus is the 8th planet from the sun, about 1.78 billion miles away with a day lasting 17.24 hours. It is a gas giant composed primarily of hydrogen, helium and various ices, with possible liquid oceans beneath its clouds. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus, providing data about its composition and climate during its 1986 flyby.
The document discusses the planet Neptune, including that it was discovered in 1846, has an average temperature of -360 degrees Fahrenheit, and is composed primarily of hydrogen, helium, and methane. It notes facts like Neptune's winds reaching speeds of 1,490 miles per hour and its orbital period being equivalent to 165 Earth years. The document also explains that while Neptune contains water, its atmosphere is not suitable for human life due to the lack of oxygen.

It outlines 6 components of a sincere apology: 1) owning responsibility, 2) naming the mistake, 3) explaining why it was a problem, 4) specifying measures to change, 5) asking for forgiveness, and 6) making amends. The document critiques a celebrity's apology for a wardrobe malfunction for failing to demonstrate sincerity and only addressing two of the six recommended components.
This document discusses the history and mathematical properties of zero. It covers:
- How ancient civilizations like the Babylonians, Mayans, and Indians used and developed the concept of zero over time.
- The basic mathematical operations involving zero, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Proposed solutions for the undefined operation of division by zero, including that it equals the dividing number, is undefined, or equals infinity.
- Applications of the concept that division by zero equals infinity, including in quantum mechanics where particles exist in infinite potential locations before being observed.

New Journalism aimed to present readers with a larger "interpretive truth" through creative, evocative storytelling rather than just facts. It used literary techniques like scenes, dialogue and symbolism. Tom Wolfe was a founding father known for works like The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Hunter S. Thompson pioneered Gonzo Journalism with erratic, subjective styles. While influential, New Journalism was criticized for lack of transparency and blending fiction and journalism. It declined as topics changed and new media emerged but helped shape public opinion during its era.
Greece has the highest per capita cheese consumption in the world at 27.3 kg per person. Cheese making has existed for over 4000 years, with remnants found in Egyptian tombs. Different types of cheese are produced around the world from goat, cow, and sheep's milk in soft, hard, washed, and blue varieties. Cheese is enjoyed in many cultures and provides joy when served with crackers, bread, or fruit.
1) Based on historical trends, Germany is predicted to reach the final of Euro 2012 against the Netherlands.

This document provides an overview of harm reduction principles and interventions. It discusses how harm reduction aims to reduce harms of drug use through non-judgmental and evidence-based approaches, as opposed to punitive "war on drugs" policies. Key points made include that harm reduction is effective in preventing disease transmission and overdoses while connecting people to services, and that interventions like needle exchanges and supervised injection sites have demonstrated public health benefits with little evidence they increase drug use. The document advocates that harm reduction treats people who use drugs with dignity and respect.
This document discusses and dispels several common myths about mathematics. It notes that mathematics does not require being good with numbers, memorization, or youth; instead, it benefits lazy people who spend time thinking about concepts. While not a science, mathematics allows one to earn a science degree. The document also clarifies that fields medals, not a Nobel prize, are awarded for outstanding achievements in mathematics. It concludes that mathematics studies patterns and relationships across disciplines, contributing to its growth, and that some problems may have no solution.
Migraines are caused by abnormal brain activity and involve intense headache pain, though the exact triggers are unclear. A migraine involves four stages - a prodrome phase with subtle symptoms 1-2 days before, an aura phase with sensory disturbances right before, the attack with severe headache pain and other symptoms, and a postdrome hangover phase after. While there is no single test to diagnose migraines, keeping a symptom journal and ruling out other causes with medical tests can help doctors make a diagnosis. Treatment involves preventative daily medications and acute pain relievers during attacks, though overuse can cause rebound headaches. Common triggers include hormonal changes, foods, smells, lights and stress. Managing triggers and lifestyle factors
This document discusses methods for determining the sex of Lesser Adjutant Storks. It notes that sexual dimorphism allows for differentiation, but reliable determination requires DNA testing of feather samples. Measurements of head proportions from lateral photos of 20 storks were analyzed statistically to develop ratios that can distinguish males from females when applied to a discriminant function analysis. Specifically, bill height and distance from commissure to crown were useful in constructing a threshold model to classify storks by sex. The method provides a way to monitor this vulnerable population, which is small and declining globally.
Carolyn Canetti - Social Networking Sites and the Music IndustryNerd Nite Siem Reap
This document discusses how social networking sites have impacted the music industry. It provides context about the music industry before 2000 and the traditional ways artists would become famous through record labels. It then explains how the rise of social networking sites and viral videos allowed unsigned artists to gain popularity online, which has disrupted the traditional music industry model. Artists can now self-promote their music for free on sites like YouTube and gain large followings without a record label. This has fundamentally changed how new artists breakthrough and has challenged the business model of major record labels.

This document discusses various neurological disorders and what they reveal about the human brain. [1] Specific damage to different areas of the brain can cause highly specific cognitive and behavioral problems. [2] For example, damage to the V5 area of the visual cortex causes "motion blindness" where the person can no longer perceive movement. [3] Different disorders provide insights into the modular and specialized nature of the brain.
Debra Ly describes experiments done in Japan and elsewhere, about how exposing water to different kinds of images and concepts may influence how it forms into ice crystals when frozen. Positive concepts create beautiful crystals, while negative ones create deformed ones.
