Why study a foreign language?
Foreign language study enhances academic skills, raises SAT scores, and prepares students for careers.
Reflections on Major Milestones in Cancer Research and Technology Development
The breadth and depth of thinking represented in MIT’s 150th anniversary symposia would do William Barton Rogers proud, believes David Mindell. MIT’s founder and first president envisioned the university pursuing cutting edge work, and the “convergence of science and engineering 150 years later captures the essence

SPC Summer 2012 Graduation
St. Petersburg College - Summer 2012 Graduation Saturday, July 21, 2012
About St. Petersburg College:
In 1927, St. Petersburg College (then known as St. Petersburg Junior College) became Florida's first private, non-profit, two-year school of higher learning located in downtown St. Petersburg. Full accreditation followed in 1931 and in 1948 SPC became a public college.
In June 2001, SPJC officially became St. Petersburg College when Florida's governor signed legislation making it the first com
Kevin Costello: Supersymmetric gauge theory and derived geometry, Lecture 1
Kevin Costello, Northwestern University
Most mathematical work on supersymmetric gauge theories has been through their topological twists. These lectures will be about partially-twisted supersymmetric gauge theories, which are closer to the full physical theory. These partial twists have natural interpretations in terms of derived moduli of bundles.

Hall of Biodiversity
Just like the permanent exhibit it was created to complement, the online Hall of Biodiversity showcases the beauty, diversity, and abundance of life on Earth while warning of the threats posed by human activity. Along with a brief introduction to the exhibit, it includes these four sections: Spectrum of Life - A virtual journey through 3.5 billion years of evolution on Earth. The interactive cladogram includes detailed information on more than 25 diverse life forms. Transformation of the Biosphe

Michael Stipe Wake-Up Song and Greeting
The video with audio can also be viewed here... http://1.usa.gov/pv4Avr
The four astronauts of the final space shuttle mission are greeted by R.E.M. front man Michael Stipe and the group's hit, "Man on the Moon" to begin Flight Day 7. On recording this song for the Atlantis' last crew Stipe said, "I recorded 'Man on The Moon' for NASA in Venice, Italy, where Galileo first presented to the Venetian government his eight-power telescope, and in 1610 wrote 'The Starry Messenger' (Sidereus Nuncius),

6.2 Shaping knowledge It seems inevitable that any understandings we have will have been shaped and influenced by other (past and present) members of the same culture(s) we belong to. Most of these influences ‘just happen’: they arise out of our experiences as part of a culture whose members have had their experiences and shared them over many centuries. However, knowledge can also be deliberately influenced by powerful elements within a society: as we saw in Section 5.3, the church suppressed Galileo's r

5.1 Children's rights The story of the Palmer family is presented in the audio below, and it provides material about working with families. The case study is a dramatic presentation of a reconstituted family consisting of three generations living in the same household. During th 3.5 Identity and identities So far in this extract we have considered the importance of people's individual biographies to an understanding of who they are. Such biographies play an important part in making us who we are and we will now explore some of the ideas that have contributed to social workers' understanding of the concept and importance of ‘identity’. These ideas are all examples of the kind of ‘knowledge’ or ‘theory’ that informs social workers' practice.

When we exercise, the heart works extra hard to pump blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and then throughout the body to bring oxgyen and glucose to the cells for cellular respiration (a process to make the energy we need to exercise). Glucose is brought to the body, first by digestion and absorption of the food we eat, and then by circulation of the glucose via the circulatory system to the cells of the body.
