![]() In a letter of 1672 to the secretary of the Royal Society, he says that in 1666 he had bought a prism "to try therewith the celebrated phenomena of colours." He continues, "In order thereto having darkened the room and made a small hole in my window-shuts to let in a convenient quantity of the Suns light, I placed my prism at its entrance, that it might be thereby refracted to the opposite wall." He had been surprised to see the various colors appear on the wall in an oblong arrangement (the vertical being the greater dimension), "which according to the received laws of refraction should have been circular." Proceeding from this experiment through several stages to the "crucial" one, in which he had isolated a single ray and found it unchanging in color and refrangibility, he had drawn the revolutionary conclusion that "Light itself is a heterogeneous mixture of differently refrangible rays." ![]() Newton's main interest at the time of his appointment was optics, and for several years the lectures required of him by the professorship were devoted to this subject. Newton became Lucasian professor of mathematics at 27 and stayed at Trinity in that capacity for 27 years.Įxperiments in Optics. His mathematics professor, Isaac Barrow, was the first to recognize Newton's unusual ability, and when, in 1669, Barrow resigned to devote himself to theology, he recommended Newton as his successor. Returning to Cambridge in 1667, Newton quickly completed the requirements for his master's degree and then entered upon a period of elaboration of the work begun at Woolsthorpe. The story that the idea of universal gravitation was suggested to him by the falling of an apple seems to be authentic: Stukeley reports that he heard it from Newton himself. During this brief period he performed the basic experiments and apparently did the fundamental thinking for all his subsequent work on gravitation and optics and developed for his own use his system of calculus. ![]() Newton was back at Woolsthorpe for 18 months in 16. ![]() There the questioning of long-accepted beliefs was beginning to be apparent in new attitudes toward man's environment, expressed in the attention given to mathematics and science.Īfter receiving his bachelor's degree in 1665, apparently without special distinction, Newton stayed on for his master's but an epidemic of the plague caused the university to close. In 1661, at the age of 19, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge. But during a trial period midway in his course at King's School, it became apparent that farming was not his métier. Although she married someone else and he never married, she was the one person for whom Newton seems to have had a romantic attachment.Īt birth Newton was heir to the modest estate which, when he came of age, he was expected to manage. It was from Clark's stepdaughter that Newton's biographer William Stukeley learned many years later of the boy's interest in her father's chemical library and laboratory and of the windmill run by a live mouse, the floating lanterns, sundials, and other mechanical contrivances Newton built to amuse her. He was born after the death of his father, and in his third year his mother married the rector of a neighboring parish, leaving Isaac at Woolsthorpe in the care of his grandmother.Īfter a rudimentary education in local schools, he was sent at the age of 12 to the King's School in Grantham, where he lived in the home of an apothecary named Clark. Also of significance for his early development were circumstances within his family. In his early years Lincolnshire was a battleground of the civil wars, in which the challenging of authority in government and religion was dividing England's population. Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642, at Woolsthorpe, a hamlet in southwestern Lincolnshire. Isaac Newton made major contributions in mathematics and theoretical and experimental physics and achieved a remarkable synthesis of the work of his predecessors on the laws of motion, especially the law of universal gravitation. Newton, Sir Isaac (1642–1727), English scientist and mathematician. ![]() Smart objects are like containers that protect the image inside them. To avoid losing quality, a better way to work is to first convert your layer into a smart object. This is known as a destructive edit because we're making permanent changes to the image. That's because Photoshop needs to redraw the pixels every time. How to transform images without losing qualityīefore we look at all the ways to transform images in Photoshop, there's one more important topic we need to cover, and that's the difference between destructive and non-destructive transformations.Įach time we scale, rotate, or in some way transform a pixel-based layer, we lose image quality.

![]() For this reason, both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the National Milk Producers Federation oppose routine tail docking. Tail docking was once routinely performed on dairy cattle to promote hygiene during milking however, research has shown no benefit from docking the tails of dairy cows. Cattle raised for beef in indoor feedlots with slatted floors may have their tails docked because producers believe it will reduce the tail tip injuries (and subsequent infections) caused by being stepped on by other cattle. The motives for tail docking vary with species and production type. In piglets, blunt trauma, scissors, sharp instruments, or hot cautery are most often used to remove most of the tail. Other methods include cauterizing with hot irons or surgical amputation. Eventually, the necrotic tail tip falls off or is cut off. In cattle and sheep, most producers use a rubber band to cut off circulation to the bottom two-thirds or more of the tail, causing the tissue to gradually die over three to seven weeks from lack of blood supply. It is being phased out in the US dairy industry. Historically, tail docking has been performed on pigs, sheep, dairy cattle, and cattle reared on feedlots with slatted floors. Rather than employing routine dehorning or disbudding, some producers raise hornless (polled) animals. Disbudding is preferred over dehorning because it carries a lower risk of complications and is significantly less invasive and painful however, recent research shows that even disbudding causes pain for weeks to months after the procedure.Ĭattle and goats are disbudded or dehorned to reduce the incidence of carcass bruising caused by horn injuries during transport, as well as to reduce the risk of on-farm injuries to other animals and people. Once horn-producing tissue has attached to the skull, various physical means are used to dehorn, which may involve cutting bone and entering the frontal sinus of the skull. In very young animals, when horns have not yet formed, disbudding is performed by removing horn-producing tissue via burning (hot iron) or chemical means (caustic paste). Pain relief is rarely provided.Ĭattle and goats, if not naturally hornless, typically undergo procedures to stop horn growth at a young age. In order to facilitate confinement of these animals in such stressful, crowded, unsanitary conditions, painful mutilations such as cutting off the horns of cattle, cutting off the beaks of chickens, and docking the tails of sheep, pigs, and indoor feedlot cattle are routinely performed. To boost production, some cows are injected with the growth hormone rBGH or rBST, which increases a cow’s likelihood of developing lameness and mastitis, a painful infection of the udder. In factory dairies, cows spend their entire lives confined to concrete.Stressed by crowding and boredom, they frequently resort to biting and inflicting wounds upon their penmates. Growing pigs are confined to slatted, bare, concrete floors.Unable to even turn around, sows develop abnormal behaviors, and suffer leg problems, bladder infections, and skin lesions. Pregnant sows spend each of their pregnancies confined to a gestation crate-a metal enclosure that is scarcely wider and longer than the sow herself.Being held in such close confines, the hens peck at each other’s feathers and bodies. Four or more egg-laying hens are packed into a battery cage, a wire enclosure so small that none can spread her wings.Raised by the thousands at a single location, animals are confined in such tight quarters that they can barely move, let alone behave normally. The rearing of farmed animals today is dominated by industrialized facilities known as concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs (often referred to as “factory farms”) that maximize profits by treating animals not as sentient creatures, but as production units. ![]() ![]() Ending the Slaughter of Nonambulatory Pigs.State Wildlife Agency Contact Information.How to Communicate Effectively with Legislators.United States Legislative Information (external link).Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act.Farmed Animal Anti-Confinement Legislation.Cetacean Anti-Captivity Legislation and Laws.Anti-whistleblower (“Ag-Gag”) Legislation.Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act.The Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act.Emergency and Disaster Preparedness for Farm Animals Act.Shaping Policy for Animals in Laboratories. ![]() ![]() Don't get me wrong, I would come back, as it's a safe choice, but it's not my first choice.

The only safety feature the Black + Decker 60V Max Cordless hedge trimmer has is the front guard. If you have kids, a safety feature like this can prevent accidents from happening. For instance, some hedge trimmers have a two-button set up so that you have to press both buttons at the same time to start the machine. There are only two drawbacks to this hedge trimmer. Unless you have a gigantic amount of hedges or brush in your yard, you’ll be completely satisfied with the power and time this battery-powered hedge trimmer offers. ![]() I’ve used the Black + Decker 60V Max Cordless Hedge Trimmer a few times, about 30–45 minutes each time, and I haven’t run out of juice just yet. It’s this particular feature that makes this hedge trimmer a standout among hedge trimmers. All I had to do was press the POWERCUT button on the top of the machine and the blade cut through the resistance of the limb until it was completely severed. It only got stuck one time as it tried to cut through a thick branch. In fact, it was able to cut some of my nearly 2-inch branches in the brush. It easily cut through branches that were 1.5 inches in diameter. With a 60V battery, this hedge trimmer has the kind of ‘oomph’ you get with the gas-powered hedge trimmers. I own some 20V battery-powered yard tools, and you can immediately tell the difference. The one thing that stood out to me pretty quickly was the power. The 24-inch blade felt like a great length for cutting my hedges. With dual-action blades, I was able to cut limbs on either side of the blade, which made for quicker trimming sessions. I didn’t have any trouble handling it for about 40 minutes at a time (though I did switch back-and-forth between arms so one wouldn't ache more than the other). I always wear gloves while I do yard work (which is always advised when learning how to use a hedge trimmer), but I like that there's a front handle guard for extra protection.Īt 8.4 lbs, this Black + Decker hedge trimmer isn’t the lightest among hedge trimmers, but it’s not the heaviest either. I'm ambidextrious so I've used it both ways and have found it equally user-friendly no matter which hand holds the front handle and which one wraps around the back handle. Whether you are right or left-handed, this hedge trimmer is easy to handle. I connected the battery to the charger and with the pull of a lever under the back handle, the machine revved to life. Because it’s battery-powered (and lacks a cord), starting up the hedge trimmer was quick and simple. ![]() These are surefire, and most of them will work for friends, brothers, fathers or mothers as well, not.

Of her knowledge of laga weaving, Jenny says, “…If asked about what makes me Kalinga, it is my weaving. The dances capture the beliefs, celebration, and movement of everyday life of the Kalinga people. The dance movements were taken from the environment and earthly surroundings and carry different meanings and histories. The woven skirts, belts and other articles are especially utilized in the presentation of the dances that may occur to celebrate the harvest, weddings, war and peace pacts. Today, tribal members often wear Western clothing, but traditional clothing is still highly valued and worn during community celebrations, family celebrations, festivals, and rituals. Laga is used to create blankets and traditional regalia, including be-e (men’s g-string), tapis (women’s skirt), and belts. Kalinga weaving, or laga, is traditionally done by women using five sticks on a backstrap loom. Kalinga is a province of the Philippines and home to an indigenous people of the same name. Jenny is the only Kalinga weaver to have immigrated to California, and perhaps the entire United States. ![]() Jenny began weaving as a child, creating her first belt at the age of 10. Jenny Bawer Young learned Kalinga weaving from her maternal grandmother, Mambot Cusay, and her aunt, Alice Dumatog, in her native barangay, or neighborhood, of Mabilong, Lubuagen, in the Kalinga province.
