Cycling is easy, Cycling is ... Cheap, chick ... a real fun!

-

First thing one will see entering and leaving the central station of Amsterdam, are the bikes. The impression is immerse. For many unforgettable.

The dutch cycle at any time of the day and night. Some bicycles have trailers attached for easy transport. Most of the bikes are black without frills or gears.

Being in Amsterdam and not to cycle is impossible, so everyone wants to join joyful and exuberant brigade of cyclists.

Cycling – a relaxing past-time has recently become life-threatening, the traffic congestion is huge, the number of cyclists grew up within the years. As the Dutch used to say „they were born on bicycle”.

The bikes became a principal means of transport there are over 600,000 bikes in the city itself. The flat terrain, no mountains makes cycling a real pleasure. A pleasure became an aspect, however, an environmental issue is taken very seriously. The Dutch take care of the environment, cycling undoubtedly helps to so and maintain healthy and fit.

Millions of bikes are sold in the Netherlands every year. Some claim another million is stolen, well, perhaps it is … .


Regardless of what is said … cycle, cycle and one more time cycle for Yourself – it's chic, it's cheap, simply a good fun.

Dark Side: Some Kind of Justice From Behind The Grave

Some pathologists, usually those not normally concerned with criminal and litigious cases, claim that an autopsy report should be a bare recitation of the physical findings, with no discussion or interpretation of the significance of those findings. This is an abdication of the pathologist's responsibility because, especially in criminal deaths, it is these condusions that are of most interest and use to che investigating officers, lawyers and courts. After the detailed description of the external and internal appearances, a short resume should be offered of the major positive findings and their relationship to the cause of death. In many cases this will be obvious, as in a gunshot wound of the head. Matters such as the probable type of weapon, the range, the direction and the likely rapidity of death, however, should also be discussed. When the findings are less clear cut, or are multiple, then the alternatives should be discussed, giving a differential diagnosis of the cause of d...

Methodology in Language Learning: The Ehrman & Leaver Construct

Obraz
The complex pattern study has an elaborate underlying theoretical construct and has undergone extensive field-testing and validation at the Foreign Service Institute. Therefore it represents a serious attempt to reconceptualize cognitive styles in the service of language learning and warrants a closer inspection. The E&L Construct, as Ehrman and Leaver have named their new system, is similar to Riding’s theory in that it reorganizes a number of established style dimensions under a new, comprehensive, and parsimonious construct. However, unlike Riding’s taxonomy, here only one superordinate style dimension is provided, with the two poles labeled ectasis and synopsis. The main difference between the two extremes is that an ectenic learner wants or needs conscious control over the learning process, whereas a synoptic learner leaves more to preconscious or unconscious processing.  The complete system is made up of 10 subdimensions, and many of those are similar to the ones target...

  Most of the discussion concerning the definitions of death belongs to the field of legal medicine and even that of ethics, rather than forensic pathology. Notwithstanding this, a quick review of this complex problem is appropriate here, as when we come to describe the various post-mortem phenomena, some appreciation is necessary of the zero point from which such changes are timed. It is conventional to describe two types of death:      somatic death, in which the person irreversibly loses its sentient personality, being unconscious, unable to be aware of (or to communicate with) its environment, and unable to appreciate any sensory stimuli or to initiate any volunrary movement. Reflex nervous activity may, however, persist, and circulatory and respiratory functions continue either spontaneously or with artificial support so that the tissues and cells of the body, other than those already damaged in the central nervous system, are alive and functioning. ...
