The Deaths of Others [Audio]
Speaker(s): John Tirman | US author John Tirman argues that while Americans are rightly concerned about the number of US troops killed in battle, they can seem indifferent, often oblivious, to the far greater number of casualties suffered by those they fight and those they fight for. John Tirman is executive director of MIT's Center for International Studies. This lecture marks the publication of his new book The Death of Others.

The recovery operation of Cannon 13 was supervised
by the Office of State Archaeology -- Underwater Branch
in partnership with the NC DENR Marine Fisheries,
NC State Ports -- Morehead City, NOAA, and the Town of Beaufort.

Star Life
Visitors to this site can follow the life cycle of a star, beginning with its formation from matter exploded outward by the Big Bang, followed by its expansion into a red giant as nuclear "fuel" is consumed, and ending with its "death" in a supernova, after which it becomes a neutron star or black hole.

Differential Equation Model
This video explains how a function can be modeled using a differential equation if it is growing or shrinking exponentially. In the differential equation model, k is a constant that determines if the function is growing or shrinking. If k is greater than 1, the function is growing. If it is less than 1, the function is shrinking. (2:20)
Differential Equation Model - Problem 1 of 4
This video is a continuation and explains how a function can be modeled using a differential equation if it is growing or shrinking exponentially. The example provided solves a differential equation problem that involves exponential growth. (4:19)
Differential Equation Model - Problem 2 of 4
This video is a continuation and provides another example of solving a differential equation problem related to exponential growth. (3:39)
Chariots for Apollo - A History of Manned Lunar Spacecraft
This site, originally published as part of NASA's History Series, presents a detailed history of the Apollo program. The story begins in the 1950s with early efforts to beat the Soviet Union into space, carries through the Kennedy administration, with its famous challenge to land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth by the end of the 1960s, and culminates with the landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon in July 1969. The site features text, pictures, references, and several appendices conta
La roue de la vie dans les temples bouddhiques (video)
One of the first sights encountered by visitors to Buddhist temples is a large painting of the wheel of rebirth, depicting in horrific detail the pains (less often the pleasures) that await people after death. In this illustrated talk, Stephen F. Teiser explains how these representations of the Buddhist worldview have been imagined in Buddhist art over the centuries. The lecture offers an introduction to Buddhist cosmology, Buddhist art, and the spatial and ritual organization of Buddhist te

Nov. 23 - Economic jitters from abroad offset optimism heading into the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, pulling U.S. stocks down by more than two percent. Conway G. Gittens reports.
This video is a continuation and provides another example problem that demonstrates how to solve exponential equations when the bases cannot be written as the same base. (4:17)

Recovery from iron deficiency shows an increasing RBC count, two populations of erythrocytes (pre-existing microcytes and newly formed normocytes. MCV will not have changed early in recovery. The contribution of the two populations lead to higher RDW. (These changes are not easily appreciated on peripheral smear.)
"This unique video, features my arrangement for solo lyre, of the 3400 year old "Hurrian Hymn no.6", which was discovered in Ugarit in Syria in the early 1950..." This 5:42 music video has excellent sound quality and photos from the period and region of the music. The accompanying note is very informative and well-written and takes about as long to read as the music plays. (05:42)
