...Madeleine McCann, the British toddler who vanished from her family’s vacation apartment in Portugal in 2007, may be alive, according to detectives conducting a review of the investigation. Scotland Yard made the announcement on Wednesday, noting that officers reviewing the case discovered up to 200 new items for investigation using existing evidence. “We genuinely believe there is a possibility that she is alive,” Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood from Scotland Yard’s Homicide and Serious Crime Command told reporters. (MORE: Case Closed for the McCanns?) The review team is now combing through evidence and reports from Portuguese authorities, inquiries held by U.K. law enforcement agencies, and the work of private investigators hired by the McCann family. In a statement released this morning, Scotland Yard said the existing evidence includes around 40,000 pieces of information. “We are working on the basis of two possibilities here,” Redwood said. “One is that Madeleine is still alive; and the second that she is sadly dead.” Hoping that she is alive and well, police have issued an age progression image of Madeleine, who would be nine years old. Madeleine was three when she disappeared in the resort town of Praia da Luz, and her cause became one of Britain’s most famous missing persons cases. Celebrities like David Beckham appealed to the public for information regarding Madeleine’s whereabouts. Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, secured an audience with the Pope and...

...PAGHIHIRAM NG MGA SALITA Walang salitang buhay na gaya ng Filipino ang puro.may mga salitang banyaga na hindi matatagpuan sa salitang Filipino kapag isinasalin. Bukod sa katotohanang ang wika ay nakasanding sa kultura. Sa pangyayaring ito,ang tanging magagawa ay manghiram o kaya ay lumikha ng bagong salita. Dahil hindi lahat ng salita ay maaring bigyan ng salin o matutumbasan. Walang masama sa panghihiram ng salita. hindi naman kailangan pang humingi ng pahintulot sa bansang hihiraman na mga salita ;hindi rin kailangan pang isauli ang salita pagktapos na hiramin hindi rin ito nakakahiya 1.Tuwirang Hiram - hinihiram ng buo ang salitang banyaga at inaangkop ang bigkas at ispeling sa ortograpiyang Filipino. Halimbawa: Barco Barko Antenna Antena Repollo Repolyo Silla Silya Piña Pinya 2. Ganap na hiram - dahil sa praktikalidad hinihiram ng buo ang salitang banyaga nang walang pagbabago sa anyo nito. Noong sinaunang panahon kapag nanghihiram ng salita, ang unang preperens ay Kastila sapagkat konsistent ang ispeling nito (Kastila) tulad ng Filipino. Ngunit ngayon, higit na pinipili ang Ingles.

...Richard Ching Biology 141 Exam 1 Study Questions 1-15 1. What is the difference between an hypothesis and a scientific Theory? Between an hypothesis and a prediction? What kinds of hypotheses are useful for scientific investigations that try to explain the natural world, and which are not? Give one or more examples of hypotheses that are and are not scientifically useful. A scientific theory is an explanation for a broad class of phenomena or observations, whereas a hypothesis is a testable statement to explain the workings of a particular scientific theory. In other words, a hypothesis aims to find out how a phenomena occurs. What distinguishes a hypothesis from a prediction is that a prediction is simply a part of a hypothesis, and is an observable or measureable result that must hold true if the hypothesis is correct. A hypothesis is useful to a scientific investigation in the case that it can be tested and have results gathered from experimentation or observation, while hypotheses that cannot be tested and concluded upon are not useful. An example of a useful hypothesis is the question of whether or not cramming increases test performance when compared to consistent studying, and an example of a hypothesis that is not scientifically useful would be the question of whether God truly exists. 2. Two of the greatest unifying ideas in biology (i.e., concepts that account for and are consistent with a very large number of observations) are the Cell Theory, and the Theory...
