Parable Some scholars of the canonical gospels and the New Testament apply the term "parable" only to the parables of Jesus,[2][3] though that is not a common restriction of the term. Parables such as "The Prodigal Son" are central to Jesus' teaching method in both the canonical narratives and the apocrypha. Etymology[edit] The word parable comes from the Greek παραβολή (parabolē), meaning "comparison, illustration, analogy. 100 Helpful Web Tools for Every Kind of Learner For those unfamiliar with the term, a learning style is a way in which an individual approaches learning. Many people understand material much better when it is presented in one format, for example a lab experiment, than when it is presented in another, like an audio presentation. Determining how you best learn and using materials that cater to this style can be a great way to make school and the entire process of acquiring new information easier and much more intuitive. Here are some great tools that you can use to <a href=">cater to your individual learning style, no matter what that is. Visual Learners
NewYorker article gives insight into the Brand Naming process – and why your brandable domains may be so valuable Naming companies spend months and weed through thousands of names before settling on a new brand name for a major product launch, according to a recent article entitled Famous Names, in the NewYorker. The lengthy article follows a company called Lexicon, and tells the story of the creative process that resulted in the brand names BlackBerry, PowerBook, Swiffer, and Pentium among others. After reading about the amount of time, effort, and brain power devoted to coming up with a new brand name, I have a new appreciation for how valuable the domain name must be that is the exact match for that newly minted product name. The number of high-tech trademarks has jumped from under 10,000 in 1980 to over 300,000 now, according to the article, suggesting a huge demand for brandable domains.

Constitutive Modeling of 3D Printed FDM Parts: Part 2 (Approaches) ·ANSYS Blog In part 1 of this two-part post, I reviewed the challenges in the constitutive modeling of 3D printed parts using the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process. In this second part, I discuss some of the approaches that may be used to enable analyses of FDM parts even in presence of these challenges. I present them below in increasing order of the detail captured by the model. Conservative Value: The simplest method is to represent the material with an isotropic material model using the most conservative value of the 3 directions specified in the material datasheet, such as the one from Stratasys shown below for ULTEM-9085 showing the lower of the two modulii selected. The conservative value can be selected based on the desired risk assessment (e.g. lower modulus if maximum deflection is the key concern). ULTEM-9085 datasheet from Stratasys – selecting the conservative value is the easiest way to enable preliminary analysis
Linguistics 201: The Dialects of American English The Dialects of American English The various Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, and Jutes) who invaded Britain after 437 AD brought with them their own dialects of West Germanic. These formed the basis for the emergence of later dialect areas. The submergence of the various British Celtic languages (of which Welsh is the only modern survivor) also lead to innovations in British English. The Viking invasions resulted in more Norse influence in the north than in the south, thereby contributing another layer to the existing dialects.
