AS OF present writing (January 9, 1948) Congress has reconvened and President Truman has come before a joint session of both houses with renewed and vigorous support of a national health insurance program. But Congress is Republican and Senator Taft has declared his determination to fight his Republican health program (S-545) through Congress, despite what he has termed "increasing propaganda activity" in behalf of the Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bill (S-1320). And, it should be remembered, Senator Taft is chairman of the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare which will decide upon the health bills to be reported to the floor of the Senate during ensuing months. Last month when we reviewed the Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bills (S-1606 and S-1320) and the Taft Bill (S-545), we stated that "it is unlikely that either a comprehensive Democratic or Republican health program will be acted upon in this session of Congress." This prediction still looks good. It is a reasonably good guess that the Taft and the Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bills will deadlock in Committee hearings early in the year. We may then expect to see a less controversial measure reported out of Committee favorably so that those seeking re-election in the fall can claim achievement in relation to the health of the people. The cause of child health is always popular. Therefore, the School Health Services Bill (HR-1980 and S-1290) may play the role of a compromise bill unless it can be demonstrated that some other approach to health legislation is preferable.

Teachers often encounter difficulty in teaching estimation of quantity and measurement to young children. A typical estimation activity might be similar to the following: “Here is a jar of candy bars. How many do you think are in the jar? I want you to make a “good guess.” The person who gets the closest is the winner and can have one candy bar.” This activity is supposed to help children develop estimation skills, but children have no idea what the difference is between a guess and an estimate.

<p>Characters that are often discussed as part of educational goals are still overlapping. The values of the characters that want to be instilled are still not raised, and there needs to be developed. The value of Islamic characters can be taken from the previous Saheeh stories told directly by the Prophet Muhammad. Researchers tried to explore other Islamic characters by using descriptive methods using the library research approach. The primary data source of this research is a book by Umar Sulaiman al-Asyqor, titled The Stories of Shahih in the Qur'an and As-Sunnah, curriculum 2013 pai elementary school subjects, related books, thesis, and articles relevant to the theme studied. This study found many Islamic characters that have not been listed in the competency standards of the PAI 2013 curriculum. Of the 18 character values and 61 characters determined, there are still character values that have not been listed if they are based on Islamic values. Among the characters that do not exist and need to be used as development are: tawhid, analytical, exemplary, prudence, qana'ah, produce work, firm, admit mistakes, obey, love animals, benefactors, shame, hospitality, meticulous, cooperation, help, curiosity, rukun, good guess, tabligh, fathanah, and straightforward. </p><p class="16aJudulAbstrak"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16cKataKunci">Karakter yang sering dibahas sebagai bagian dari tujuan pendidikan masih mengalami timpang tindih. Nilai-nilai karakter yang ingin ditanamkan masih belum dimunculkan serta perlu adanya pengembangan. Nilai karakter islami dapat diambil dari kisah-kisah shahih terdahulu yang diceritakan langsung oleh Rasulullah Muhammad saw. Peneliti mencoba menggali lebih jauh karakter Islami dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan menggunakan pendekatan library research. Sumber data utama dari penelitian ini adalah buku karya Umar Sulaiman al-Asyqor, dengan judul Kisah-Kisah Shahih dalam Al-Qur’an dan As-Sunnah, kurikulum 2013 mata pelajaran PAI sekolah dasar, buku-buku terkait, tesis, serta artikel yang relevan dengan tema yang diteliti. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan banyak karakter Islami yang belum tercantum dalam standar kompetensi kurikulum PAI 2013. Dari 18 nilai karakter dan 61 karakter yang sudah ditentukan, masih ada nilai karakter yang belum tercantum jika dilandaskan kepada nilai-nilai keislaman. Di antara karakter yang belum ada dan perlu dijadikan pengembangan adalah: tauhid, analitis, teladan, kehati-hatian, qana’ah, menghasilkan karya, teguh, mengakui kesalahan, taat, menyayangi hewan, dermawan, rasa malu, silaturahmi, teliti, kerja sama, tolong-menolong, rasa ingin tahu, rukun, baik sangka, tabligh, fathanah, dan sederhana.</p>

In this work we present an in-depth study of the how the composition of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend films influences their phase transitions using variable-temperature spectroscopic ellipsometry. We demonstrate that this non-destructive method is a very sensitive optical technique to investigate the phase transitions and to determine the glass transition temperatures and melting crystallization points of the P3HT:PCBM blend films. By analyzing the influence of the temperature T on the raw ellipsometric data, we have identified a high sensitivity of the ellipsometric angle Δ at a wavelength of 280 nm to temperature changes. Characteristic temperatures determined from the slope changes of the Δ(T) plot appeared to be very good guess values for the phase transition temperatures.

Skin eruptions caused by drugs are common and many different forms of inflammation may be produced. Many of the mechanisms are not known. A few patterns are sufficiently distinctive to allow a fairly good guess at the cause. However this is not always possible because several different drugs can produce the same type of eruption. Furthermore, any one drug may induce different reactions in different persons. This article does not discuss such non-specific drug rashes, for which hypnotics and purgatives are often to blame - presumably because they are so widely used.

In view of the present turmoil in North American archaeology caused by the continuing release of radiocarbon dates, it is most difficult to maintain an understanding of the preceramic occupations. What seems like a good guess today is tomorrow relegated to the realm of unwarranted speculation. The continual excavation of preceramic sites in North America and the constant revision in geological and climatological theories also force us to be cautious in making interpretations and to be willing to change any of them. Yet the evidence now available for reconstructing the preceramic traditions in some instances appears to be sufficient and reliable enough to justify certain interpretations, even though reservations must be kept in mind. In particular the relative chronology of several cultural complexes is slowly taking form.

Surface phenomena, including wetting, have surely fascinated humans foi millennia. The breakup of a falling stream of water and the behavior of froths, both driven by surface energy, certainly caught the interest of people long before records were kept. The Phoenicians are credited with inventing that remarkable wetting agent, soap, in about 600 B.C., and a 2000-year-old soap factory was unearthed in the ruins of Pompeii.It is hard to pinpoint the first scientific studies of surfaces and wetting, but it is a good guess that the earliest scientists, or natural philosophers, were interested. In 1805 Young noted that in a system consisting of a liquid and a solid phase, the former will wet the latter to a degree dictated by the surface energies of the system. If a liquid drop rests on a solid substrate, as shown in Figure 1, the wetting angle, θ, characterizes the wetting of solid by liquid. The fundamental relationship between wetting angle and surface energy in equilibrium was given by Young as:where γsv is the surface energy of solid, γsl is the solid-liquid interfacial energy, γlv is the surface energy of liquid, and θ is the wetting angle.
