Our school usually hold a big party to celebrate the festival in the morning. We perform a wide variety of programs on the stage,such as dancing, singing, magic tricks and so on. During the party, our teachers give us the best wishes.展开更多
This paper depicts nothingness expressed in Happy Days in terms of stage design, properties and characters' actions as well as the conversations in it.

St.Peter asked, "Who are you?" and Pat replied, "My name is Pat, I m an Irishman, born on St. Patrick s Day, died onSt, Patrick s Day, marching in the St, Patrick s Day parade." St. Peter said to Pat: "Yes, this is true! Here s a little green cloud for you to drive around heaven in and hereis a harp that, when you push this button here, will play When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.

These include rights to safety, security, health and access to information. Obligations include protecting the environment and respecting the safety, property and privacy of others. Standards help citizens to exercise these rights and obligations. They do this, for example, by providing consumers with information and protection, by ensuring the quality and safety of products and services, by defining requirements or giving guidance related to the environment and other issues important to citizens including societal equity, health, security, information and communication, and fair trader.展开更多

The death toll from the massive rain-triggered mudslides in Zhouqu County had risen to 1,239 as of August 15, a week after the devastating mudslides hit the county, with 505 others still missing.展开更多

At the start of her career in the 1950s, she focused on nutritional anemia that afflicts children, developing treatment and methods of prevention. Later she researched etiology, pathology and physiology of pediatric toxic indigestion, helping to reduce the child death rate from 20 percent to 1 percent. Over the past 20 years, she has concentrated on pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As a result, the five-years living rate of the disease treated by Hu’s group has reached 74 percent, approaching the highest level in the world.展开更多

The experimental work outlined to deal with the problem was conducted in an area of araucaria forest, in Sao Joao de Triunfo, PR, Brazil. The forms of sampling units circle, square and rectangular were evaluated, whose areas ranged from 200 m2 to 1000 m2. Time was recorded using a stopwatch and computed separately for locomotion and measurement. The power model was used to adjust the relations of the times of locomotion and measurement, as well as a hyperbolic one for the coefficient of variation, all taking as function of the SUs sizes. To achieve the analytical solution for the optimum size of the SU, it was necessary simulating the behavior of the three functions until the size of 10,000 m2. By taking the derivative of the combined function it was found the maximum point, which allowed optimizing the size of the SU in 600 m2 for the structured experimental conditions. This result proved the formulated hypothesis, performing even a critical analysis of the inclusion of other relevant variables, such as size of the area to be inventoried, number of SUs performed in one day of work, average distance between the SUs, average speeds for locomotion between SUs and for taking all respective measurements.展开更多
