Schlumbergera russelliana (W. J. Hooker) Britton & Rose 1913
Epiphyllum russelianum W. J. Hooker 1839
Phyllocactus russellianus (W. J. Hooker) Salm-Dyck 1845
Schlumbergera epiphylloides Lemaire 1858
Christmas cactus, named for blooming in December and January, has been a popular house plant since the 1800s. It is native to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, at elevations of 4593-6890' (1.4-2.1 km); it is not found in the wild in North America. Extensively cultivated, many varieties exist—those shown here are cultivars.
Identification: Members of Schlumbergera are epiphytes—plants that grow on other plants (such as trees), without harming their hosts. While most cacti have tubular stem segments or “Mickey Mouse” ears, these have flattened segments called cladodes, about ⅜-1½" (1-3.8 cm) × ¼-¾" (8-20 mm), and about ⅛" (3.2 mm) thick. The segments lack true spines, though they usually have two spinelike protrusions on both sides of each segment. They are light to deep green, or burgundy in color. The pink bell-shaped, hanging flowers are about 1¾" (5 cm) long and 1-1½" (3-4 cm) in diameter. In cultivated varieties, flowers may be larger, and may be red, magenta, white, salmon, or orange. Fruits are approximately round, and greenish yellow.

Behavioral Health Technician
Support psychiatric patients in their daily tasks.
Nursing is hard work, and there are lots of things a Nurse needs to keep an eye on to help a patient improve. Good thing they have the Patient Care Technician to help out.
A Patient Care Technician works under the supervision and direction of Registered Nurses, doing anything they need done. This means your daily responsibilities as a Patient Care Technician can range from the mundane (like cleaning or feeding patients) to the more complex (like drawing blood or giving EKGs).
You can find work anywhere that Nurses are employed. For example, you might work in a hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility, or clinic. Consequently, there are also lots of options when it comes to the types of patients you want to help.
This job is a sort of stepping stone between the Nursing Aide and Registered Nurse positions. You have some education that lets you take part in different medical procedures. But for the most part, you do the jobs that no one else wants to do.
You spend your days catering to patients and their needs. You answer patient calls; feed, clothe, and bathe them; make beds; and help patients walk around. You also get to take and monitor vital signs, help with exams, set up rooms before procedures, and observe patients when they do their rehab activities.
If this sounds a lot like a Patient Care Associate, you’re not far off. The two jobs are close and sometimes used interchangeably. The big difference is as a Technician, you go through more training and are given more medically difficult jobs.

Plantation forests are grown to supply wood and to provide environmental benefits, such as waste disposal, rehabilitation of degraded sites, enhancement of regional biodiversity and reduction of logging in native forests. In a highly readable fashion, this book describes the scientific principles which are used throughout the world to ensure rapid, healthy plantation growth. It is written for a world-wide audience, from forestry professionals and scientists through to small plantation growers, to describe how plantations may be grown responsibly and profitably.... the equation they developed for slash pine was: S = a3.8+0.1075R Wa0.0612 RCa0.0000314R W2+0.0000983RC2 ...

Take a Journey of Discovery with RXTE - Classroom Activity
Distances in Space
There are many units of distance that are used to measure astronomical distances.
The distance light travels in one year is called a light year. We use light years to describe the distances of nearby stars. A parsec is 3.26 light years. Astronomers use this unit of distance more frequently than the light year. Far away black holes and even more distant galaxies are kiloparsecs away. "Kilo" means 1000, so a kiloparsec is 1000 parsecs. The Galactic Center is about 8 kiloparsecs away.

The final addition to Acorn’s Archimedes family of personal computers, released in April 1994. The RiscPC allowed a second processor, e.g. an Intel 486 or a second ARM, to share the bus, memory and peripherals with the main processor. It also had full 24-bit colour graphics support.
The Risc PC 600 (the first to be launched) had the new ARM600 processor and RISC OS 3.5. The RiscPC 700 had an ARM710 processor and RISC OS 3.6, and the SA had the StrongARM processor and RISC OS 3.7.
Castle Technology Ltd later introduced the IYONIX pc with the 32-bit X-Scale processor and USB sockets. USB and StrongArm can also be retrofitted to earlier RiscPCs.
RiscPCs are among the most energy efficient home computers.

Significance to Humans:Weakly venomous
Not considered dangerous to humans. All crowned snakes are reluctant biters, relying more on bluff display than bite. They are weakly venomous and have tiny mouths and short fangs. They will generally rear up & 'mock strike' with mouth closed, more of a 'head butt'. If bitten, as with any snake bite, apply correct first aid and seek medical attention.
General description:Very small snake, with small eyes. Body generally dark steely-grey to black above, belly creamy-yellow with thin, dark cross-bands. 'Crown' is a narrow (usually only 2 to 3 scale width), cream or white collar on nape of neck which extends forward along sides of head, sometimes to end of snout. Nape band narrower than White Crowned, & area enclosed within crown larger & not such a distinct 'patch'. Midbody scales at 15 rows.
Average Length:25cm. Individuals have been measured up to 35cm
Habitat in SE Qld:Coastal, only found to east of Great Dividing range. Rainforest and sheltered moist areas within open forest eg; creek lines amongst litter, rocks etc.
General habits:Secretive, nocturnal, terrestrial snake. Hunts small skinks in leaf-litter at night. Shelters by day in moist litter, under rocks, logs and bark.
Local distribution:Appears restricted to moist suburbs and localities.
Around the home:Under most ground detritus such as compost, logs and stones in well-vegetated gardens.

You can add query columns to the table by Drag and Drop and insert columns to calculate ratios and evaluate statistical significance. For example, the last column in the table above shows the proportion in ICE-GB of utterances of ‘pretty/ier/iest’ made by male participants.
You can also organise the lexicon and contract the hierarchy to view statistics at an appropriate level of generality. The table below shows baseline statistics for different parts of speech for words starting with ‘work’.
Tables of statistics can be exported to disk and imported into spreadsheet programs.
Corpus Map tables can be used to explore whether sociolinguistic variation predict other changes. Lexicon and grammaticon tables, like these here, can be used to see if lexical or grammatical alternation can predict sociolinguistic variation (a kind of 'stylistic' prediction).
Note: If you want to explore whether one lexico-grammatical choice interacts with another, then ICECUP's tables are not a good method. Instead, you should use the methods outlined for Grammatical predictors in the FTF experiments webpages.

Waves in the Sea
1. Explain what causes waves
2. Identify features of waves.
3. Describe wave motion.
4. Identify how waves affect coastal landforms.
As we learned earlier in the semester, a wave transfers energy without any net movements of the medium. additionally, all waves have a crest, trough, frequency and wavelength. Using this definition we can describe the waves in the ocean as a rhythmic rise and fall of the water's surface. The energy that is transferred by the motion of the waves erodes and shapes the coastlines. There are three main mechanisms for the formation of waves.
Although the net movement of a waves is a straight line, the medium in water waves travel in circular motion
Refraction of Ocean Waves:
Refraction is a property of waves exhibited as waves bend around areas of different densities. It can be seen as light bends around the atmosphere and as waves are deflected sideways at the beach.
When a wave collapses on the beach it is called a breaker. it is caused by the following conditions:
The buildup of water behind the breakers, swash, and backwash creates a parallel current called a longshore current.

Cross-modal perception occurs when two or more senses interact with each other.
An example of cross-modal perception is synesthesia, a condition in which the stimulus of one sensory system leads to the involuntary response by another sense. People with synesthesia can 'hear' color or 'feel' noises.
Another example of cross-modal perception is the McGurk Effect, which is an interaction of visual and auditory stimuli. Research shows that infants have the capacity for cross-modal perception.

Will Humans Land on Mars? Learn About the History of Mars Exploration and 7 Key Challenges of Sending Humans to Mars
Written by the MasterClass staff
Last updated: Sep 29, 2021 • 7 min read
Mars exploration has long been the subject of human fascination. While missions to Mars are frequently the subject of science fiction books and movies, the reality may not be that far behind. Recent advances in space technology and the rapid commercialization of the space market may soon make a human mission to Mars possible. What’s more, if you look at the 300,000 year history of human exploration, it is evident that the need to explore is fundamental to our nature. Framed in this way, a mission to Mars isn’t really a question of if—it’s more a question of when.

Agricultural tax versus production resources in agricultural farms
Zeszyty Naukowe SGGW - Ekonomika i Organizacja Gospodarki Żywnościowej, 2009, vol., nr 78, s. 197-208
The paper presents relations between agricultural tax and chosen production resources in agricultural farms. The highest relation between agricultural tax and cropland area in 2006 recorded in all voivodships. The relationship between agricultural tax and possessed equity capital was comparatively low. Therefore, it could be ascertained that agriculture tax was relatively small tax burden for farmers and did not contribute to their activity production strategy. Most of farmers were against the implementation of income tax instead agriculture tax.

A ruler is a measuring instrument, which might be in plastic or steel type, and has a straight edge and measurements alongside the sting. Generally, they’re known as a line gauge or a rule. A ruler changed the primitive strategies that had been utilized in measurements, equivalent to using human palms. This instrument was found by a German scientist referred to as Ekhard Unger. This measuring instrument has been used for a few years and this has led to the invention of several types of rulers, utilized in measuring totally different lengths. A number of the makes use of of a ruler embrace;
1. as a measurement object
You’re reading: what is a ruler used for
That is the principle use of a ruler. It’s utilized in measuring the lengths and widths of various objects everywhere in the world.
2. Drawing straight traces
Drawing an ideal line utilizing free palms could be very troublesome, and that is why many individuals resort to utilizing their rulers to attract excellent traces. A ruler that’s in excellent situation is lengthy and has a straight edge, serving to the consumer in drawing excellent traces.
3. Reducing straight traces
Simply as rulers are utilized in drawing straight traces, they’re additionally utilized in slicing straight traces. As an example, a ruler is efficient in slicing a manila paper within the excellent form that’s required.
Find out: what is a half goat half human called
4. Math and Geometry
Guidelines have been used for math and geometry for a really very long time. The kind of ruler that’s helpful on this sector is the desk ruler. Desk rulers have been historically made out of wooden, although the plastic variations are additionally widespread.
Engineering college students want correct measurements when utilizing a ruler, and that’s the reason they go for metal rulers. A metal ruler is a straight and flat piece of a ruler. Its markings are nearer to the floor, making it the perfect for engineering functions.
The most typical sort of ruler used on this sector is the yardstick or the meted stick. This kind of ruler is straight, skinny, and made out of items of wooden. Often, they’re 36 inches lengthy and have metric measurements.
7. Drafting blueprints
The architect scale is the kind of ruler that’s product of wooden or plastic and has measurements in a number of totally different locations. They’re used for drafting blueprints and have many graduations.
8. Measuring roads
The ruler utilized in measuring roads is called the engineering scale. It’s just like the architect scale, with the one distinction being that it’s graduated with many scales, enabling it for use for large-scale drawings, equivalent to measuring of roads and different topographical options.
A tape measure is the commonest sort of rule that’s utilized in building. Its markings are curled contained in the enclosure and are used for taking measurements earlier than and through building.
10. Controlling web page margins and indentations
The ruler within the Microsoft phrase bundle helps you in controlling your web page margins and paragraphs. Earlier than printing a doc, you’ll be able to make sure that it’s within the middle and what you see is your last product.

Homeschooling is a form of education where the parent or guardian is the instructor. The reason for this form of education is usually the guardian is not happy with the nearby schools, or sometimes for religious or moral purposes.
In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, any homeschool arrangement must by law satisfy inspectors that the children's education is sound. This is because, under the Education Act of 1944, parents or guardians are legally obliged to send children to school. The possibility of other methods has been added as a possibility, subject to certain checks.
A common situation is for several families to come together to provide the skills needed. This serves two purposes. First, the range of knowledge and skills is wider, and the schooling has a more social angle, which itself is good for the development of children.
During the coronavirus pandemic many countries have closed schools to stop the spread of covid-19. Many children from all over the world are homeschooling.
Teachers around the globe are creating online lessons for kids that they can do at home.

Did you know the government gives away hundreds of millions of dollars every year to people just like you? It’s called grant money, and unlike a loan, it never needs to be paid back. But, most people don’t know how to go about for applying for government grants or that they even exist.
Grant money is given out everyday for hundreds of different reasons. But, you cant just call uncle sam and ask him for a few thousand dollars. There are typically lengthy applications you must fill out, and grant money is usually given out for specific reasons. You need to first evaluate what your goals are with the free grant money to see if you will likely qualify.
One of the most common types of government grants given out today are school grants. This is money that’s given out to students who are wanting to go to college, but may be unable to afford it. It can be used to pay for college tuition, text books, room and board, and other school expenses. If you want to see if you qualify for a college grant, visit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) website. There you can view, download, and submit the application form for federal funding. If you feel like you need help through the process, take a visit to the college you’re wanting to attend. They will likely have a financial aid center that will guide you.
Grant money is given out for much more than just college, though. Businesses commonly receive grant money in order to pay for their start-up, employee payrolls, production, and office space. It’s not uncommon for businesses to receive multiple grants at once. Because of this, you’ll want to apply for as many different types of business grants as you can. Even if you’re turned down for one, you may get accepted for others. Always be optimistic when you apply for your free grant money, as you don’t get penalized when applying for more than one grant!
Businesses who are in the research or medicine field will most likely be eligible to receive more grant money than those who aren’t. This isn’t the government being biased, its just that they see the importance of research and development to grow the country as a whole.
Grants are only given out to registered U.S. Citizens who are over the age of eighteen with a valid social security number. If you don’t meet this criteria, then its probably not worth your time to apply for any grant money.
Although the most common reason grants are given out is for school and businesses, you may be eligible to receive grant money for other reasons. If you are planning on starting a charitable project that helps the community, such as a youth club, you will most certainly be accepted for a free money grant.
There are many misconceptions regarding free grant money. Some people are under the impression that you can simply ask for check for a couple thousand dollars and have one magically mailed to you. The grant system is in place to give those in need a helping hand and to benefit the overall community.

Buckminster Fuller wore many hats: he was an architect, designer, inventor, futurist and a lot more. Published more than thirty books and developed many inventions and designs of architecture. He popularized the Geodesic Dome. He is known to have served as the President of Mensa- the Largest high IQ society in the world.
The Geodesic Dome was first designed by Walther Bauersfeld for a planetarium. Years later, Buckminster was the one that coined the term ‘Geodesic’. Although he did not invent it, since he was the one that popularized the idea, he received praise and patent. He built the world’s oldest surviving dome in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Materials for the construction of the Dome
The dome fascinated Fuller, as it was very strong for its weight. The triangularly symmetrical design of the dome provided the dome with a stable structure. The architects have used many different combinations of materials to construct the Geodesic dome. The hub and strut type of dome was made with wooden struts. The triangular plywood pieces are nailed to the struts, and steel hubs are used to put these hubs together. By stapling plastic sheets together, the making of make-shift greenhouse domes was possible. Steel framework can be used to construct domes for jungle gyms. The lightweight aluminium framework is also used to construct domes.
Buckminster believed that a triangular usage for a structure would be better than using a rectangle. He said that the rectangle would not be able to withstand the pressure, whereas the triangle is much more rigid. His ideas were to do more with less, and this led to creating a spherical structure with triangles and resulted in the dome with unparalleled strength.
Sense of the structure
The idea enabled to having a spacious interior space and lesser surface area. This way, they could cut down construction costs and save a lot of money. The dome created a very coherent atmosphere for the interiors as it allowed circulation of air and light without an obstruction. The airflow is even throughout the dome. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and high winds too.
Buckminster Fuller’s contribution
In 1954, Fuller displayed his cardboard dome for the first time and received acceptance by the architectural community. Fuller aimed to utilize the earth’s finite resources to benefit humankind, but at the same time, he did not want to disrupt the ecosystem either. It gained popularity, and the Us military also was looking into using the Domes for their military projects. Thanks to Buckminster Fuller, the Geodesic Dome received the attention and exposure it deserved. He again reinvented the Dome by increasing the diameter, so the volume of the dome also increased. The Geodesic Dome ideas have influenced many structures of the day.

A homogeneous mixture is composed of two or more substances
mixed together that does have a uniform composition. If we
removed samples of the mixture from different locations the
composition of the two samples would be identical. Also a
homogeneous mixture will remain homogeneous forever.
A homogeneous mixture contains two or more different
substances in the same phase, that is, the mixture is a single
All mixtures of gases are homogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures
can also be prepared when the components are liquids, liquid and
solids. Homogeneous solid mixtures are difficult to prepare.
Solution is another term used to mean a homogeneous mixture.
An aqueous solution of sodium chloride would be a homogeneous
mixture of sodium chloride and water. We would not say a solution

I really enjoyed reading Shiloh by Bobbie Ann Mason, which was a great short story that signified feminist criticism. Feminist criticism is known to be portrayed as criticism formed and based of a feminist theory, in other words it's the way society sees gender roles. In this case, in the short story Shiloh, they mention many points and examples throughout the story on how one of the main characters Norma Jean, has to face many issues and overcome obstacles based on her gender, being a woman. They basically imply the way society sees woman playing only certain roles but at the same time challenging the idea of it.
In the story Shiloh, Norma Jean faces many dilemmas involving gender roles. To begin with she got married when she was 18 which resulted in her having a baby. Her mom, Mabel, didn't want her to have a kid knowing that it wasn't going to turn out good, which was proven correct when Norma lost her baby at 4 months old. Since then she had been living with her husband Leroy, who happened to hardly be home due to work. Throughout that whole time while Leroy worked, she stayed home like a typical housewife but things started to change after some time. Norma started getting used to his absence, provoking her to do her own thing and to become her own person. For once she had felt independendent like she was able to do her own things instead of living up to everyones else expectations. When Leroy got into the car accident at work that drastically affected Norma preventing

The term intrinsic in electronics is used to describe an undoped semiconductor material. In this case, the semiconductor material is in its pure state and doesn't have any impurities added on it to modify its conductivity. An intrinsic semiconductor is neither a good insulator nor a good conductor.
Intrinsic refers to the generic properties of pure materials.

Y-Ball , designed by Roger von Oech, is a set of thirty identical magnetic building pieces.
It is interesting to see how the idea for this puzzle was developed.
Roger von Oech was inspired for this puzzle when he examined a truncated icosahedron,
which had the shape of a ball. In this geometrical form every corner is linked with further
corners by three edges. If you halve the three edges, you obtain a Y-shaped object.
If you connect two of these Y-shaped objects, then you get the pieces, therefore the name
of this puzzle.
This Y-shaped object has a strong magnet on each of its corners. Due to the strong magnets
different figures and shapes can be built.
The puzzle can be played in different ways. Many examples can be found in the accompanying booklet.
I like especially the following ways of playing:
Similarly to tangram, given figures can be built. This is not very difficult
and therefore also well suited for children.
My favorite way of playing is to build new figures and shapes.
The possibilities are unlimited, but all figures resemble honeycombs.
The puzzle is accompanied by a 96-page booklet. The booklet is divided into three parts:
-Play With It
-The Inspiration for the Y-Ball and Other Golden Information
The part about the Creativity Workshop is especially interesting. The Creativity Workshop consists
of 12 exercises. Each exercise deals with a special topic and is performed with the help of the Y-Ball.
In addition to the exercise itself, there is background information and a questionnaire.
The questionnaire aims to apply the lessons to everyday life.
Creativity is an imaginative activity which cannot be learned over night. Nevertheless, it is possible
to foster the creativity. In my point of view the book together with the puzzle
provide a good stimulation, especially as the exercises are not difficult.
The puzzle is well suited for everybody who likes to construct figures and patterns
and who likes to use his imagination. The puzzle is very absorbing, therefore it is in my point of view
the perfect desk toy to distract you from problems.
You can buy Y-Ball on the website.

What is a To Do list?
A To Do list is a “Memory Tool,” it’s something that you use so you can remember what you need to do. The whole point of this exercise is to write your To Do list, so you don’t need to remember all the details and start focusing on what’s really important…THINKING!
Henry Ford said, “Thinking is the hardest work there is. That is why so few people engage in it.”
Once you write it down, you dump the information on your list and empty your mind to do productive work. You won’t forget anything you write down as long as you have your To Do list with you. More on To Do lists…

It’s important to know what to do:
- Be willing to listen.
- Take it seriously. All suicide threats and attempts must be taken seriously or go to the nearest emergency room. Click here for HOTLINES
- Do not keep the information a secret. You do not have to be certain that someone is suicidal before you talk with another person, preferably a trained adult such as a counselor, social worker, teacher, school nurse, family physician.
- Seek professional help. Encourage the person to see a physician or mental health professional immediately.
80 percent of all suicides give some warning of their intentions to a friend or family member. If your friend is depressed or exhibiting any of the warning signs, it is OK to ask her if she is considering suicide. In fact, that’s a true friend.

In "Disney's sub/ version of Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' " Roberta Trites argues that "Disney's changes result in characters, images, and conflicts that rob women of integrity, making the movie even more sexist than the original story "(1). Trites argues that the women in Hans Christian Andersen's original "Little Mermaid" have more important roles than those in the Disney film; those women do nothing. She also says that in the original story Ariel is on a mission to gain a soul for a longer life whereas in the Disney version Ariel is just looking to gain a mate (1). Trites also compares Disney's version when she talks about how Ariel never decides to flee to a solitary life; it seems as if she were leaving the protection of her father and replacing it with the protection of Prince Eric. In conclusion, Trites states "Walt Disney's 1989 film version of 'The Little Mermaid' eliminates the values that affirm femininity in the original story (1)." Why did Trites choose the word "femininity"? What does "femininity" actually mean? Does Trites use "femininity" correctly?
The first question we ask is what does femininity actually mean? Merriam-Webster describes femininity as "the quality or nature of the female sex; effeminacy, and lastly women or mankind." Is it true that Disney's version eliminates values that affirm femininity as Trites states? I have read both Trites article and Andersen's story. I agree with Trites and how this author uses the term "femininity" in her point. I also agree with the first point that Trites makes about how Disney's Ariel's quest is for a mate eliminates the value of Ariel's femininity while Andersen's mermaid quests for a soul affirms Ariel's value of femininity (Trites1).

Using an electron holographic technique, we investigated the charging-up phenomena of BaTiO3 particles under electron beam irradiation. BaTiO3 particles were confirmed to be charged up by electron irradiation just after insertion in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). However, the amount of the electric charge induced by electron irradiation was found to decrease by further irradiation in a TEM. After irradiating for 1.5 h, about half of the electrical charge was lost compared with that in the initial state. This implies that the electric resistivity of the particle decreased upon irradiation. In addition, this reduction process of the resistivity due to irradiation was confirmed to be an irreversible reaction. It could be concluded that the reduction of resistivity is attributed to the generation of oxygen vacancies due to the irradiation. The electron irradiation technique can be considered to be a new modification method of conductivity in BaTiO 3-based materials.

Virtual machine computing allows for the seamless sharing of data and even remote desktop interfacing between numerous users and a central computing network.
With most of the processing being done away from the user, what does this mean for the tools and connection they have on hand? Will the end user’s current hardware be sufficient to work with the virtual machine network regarding computing power and overall speed?
Does virtual machine computing slow down your PC? Is your home or mobile internet connection going to be enough to handle the required bandwidth?
The computer being used to remotely access uses very little processing power. While commands and requests are sent, the central virtual machine network handles the workload. Remote desktop interaction is seamless, with only minimal delays in presentation for the end-user.
Modern broadband home internet connections and mobile tethered networks have enough bandwidth to support virtual machine interaction. While there will be bandwidth used, it will not be more significant than any other electronic device such as an iPad, television, or other computing devices.
Virtual machine computing has shown to be an invaluable tool for businesses and their employees using remote work. Home computers, iPads, tablets, and other computing devices have sufficient power to be used in a virtual machine experience. Similarly, connections such as home internet and mobile device connections are more than enough to handle the bandwidth needs of virtual machine work.

The milk myth Cats and milk seem to be inextricably linked. But should a cat actually be allowed to drink regular milk?
Honestly, the answer is simply no. A cat doesn't need milk as a part of its nutrition. It can even cause diarrhoea.
Milk contains milk sugars such as lactose, and cats are unable to digest these. This requires an enzyme that older cats don't produce. If you do give milk to your cat, it can cause gastrointestinal problems.
Milk can cause diarrhoea.
Some cats do really like milk. Since cats naturally drink very little, a special cat milk, or for example giving a wet food, can be a great way to give them more fluid and thus keep the urinary tract healthy. Special cat milk is available that has no lactose. Attention: only give this milk as a treat!

Featured Article: Providing Humanitarian Aid to North Korea
Understanding the Challenges and Stakeholders in
Providing Humanitarian Aid to North Korea
by Caitlyn M. Rerucha
There is a growing humanitarian crisis with evidence of human rights violations mounting
within the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). The Cooperative for Assistance
and Relieve Everywhere ranked North Korea as its number one under-reported humanitarian crisis in 2017. International politics related to decisions of the DPRK regime regarding their nuclear weapons program have led to highly restrictive international sanctions, deterioration of the humanitarian situation, and limitations on humanitarian aid for North Korean people. Immediate food and medical aid are most needed in the DPRK. Malnourishment, lack of access to safe drinking water, and inadequate sanitation and health services plague the North Korean population. Despite the obvious, current need for foreign assistance, world-wide humanitarian activities for DPRK remain critically underfunded.
There are multiple factors limiting coordinated foreign aid efforts to DPRK from international organizations, governmental agencies, and civic organizations, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The geopolitical situation related to DPRK remains fragile and difficult for humanitarian aid donors to predict. This article will not address foreign aid by donor governments, but will describe the role of the United Nations (UN), South Korean aid groups, and other NGOs that are active in DPRK and the current challenges that these organizations face in delivering humanitarian aid to North Korea. The UN is the largest international contributor of humanitarian aid…

Social Security Administration
The United States Social Security Administration (SSA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government that administers Social Security, a social insurance program consisting of retirement, disability and survivor benefits. To qualify for most of these benefits, most workers pay Social Security taxes on their earnings; the claimant's benefits are based on the wage earner's contributions. Otherwise benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are given based on need.
|Formed||August 14, 1935|
|Jurisdiction||Federal government of the United States|
|Headquarters||Woodlawn, Maryland, U.S.|
|Annual budget||$1.06 trillion (FY 2018)|
The Social Security Administration was established by the Social Security Act of 1935 and is codified in 42 U.S.C. § 901 (49 Stat. 635). It was created in 1935 as the "Social Security Board", then assumed its present name in 1946. Its current leader is Kilolo Kijakazi, who serves on an acting basis.
SSA is headquartered in Woodlawn, Maryland, just to the west of Baltimore, at what is known as Central Office. The agency includes 10 regional offices, 8 processing centers, approximately 1300 field offices, and 37 Teleservice Centers. As of 2018[update], about 60,000 people were employed by SSA. Headquarters non-supervisory employees of SSA are represented by American Federation of Government Employees Local 1923. Social Security is the largest social welfare program in the United States. For 2014, the net cost of Social Security was $906.4 billion, an amount corresponding to 21% of US Federal Government expenditures. By 2020, it had increased to $1.10 trillion.

Patron of bookbinders, Ireland, poets, and Scotland
by Ann-Marie Imbornoni
Also known as St. Columcille
Columba's family were Irish nobility, and from his youth he studied with the best teachers of his time in preparation for the priesthood. After ordination Columba spent some 15 years wandering throughout Ireland, working as an itinerant preacher and founding numerous monasteries, including those at Derry and Durrow.
Then, at the age of 42 he left his country for the island of Iona, where he and twelve followers founded a monastery. Columba and his monks spent the next several decades converting the Picts of northern Britain, who were greatly impressed by the miracles he performed. One of these miracles involved driving away a monster from the Ness River with the sign of the cross.
Columba is the Latin form of the Irish name Colum, which means "dove." Columcille means "dove of the church."

The opening verse of Psalm 107 is repeated as a refrain many times in the text: “O give thanks to the Lord for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.” No matter our struggles and deficiencies, God’s hesed—steadfast love, loving-kindness—never comes to an end. In the Hebrew scriptures...
Loving God, thank you, thank you, thank you. Amen.
The book of Joshua tells the story of the return of the Israelites to the land promised to Abraham. They have escaped captivity in Egypt by a miraculous crossing, and now they enter the land in a similar way. Psalm 107 speaks of God gathering the people from distant lands and bringing them out of the desert into a land of plenty. It is a poetic reflection on the experience of the Israelites. Paul often experiences resistance from various sources. In a defense of his integrity, he points to his actions as proof of his virtue. Jesus reminds us that we can do the right thing for the wrong reasons. If we act in order to draw attention to ourselves, then even good deeds lose their luster in God’s eyes.
Read Joshua 3:7-17. When have you had to trust leaders for the good of your community?
Read Psalm 107:1-7, 33-37. Recall difficult times in your faith journey. How did you experience God’s steadfast love through these times?
Read 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13. What daily practices give you insight into God’s Word? How do you encourage others in their life of faith?
Read Matthew 23:1-12. Do your leaders live what they preach? If you are a leader, how do you strive to live the gospel?
Respond by posting a prayer.

The circle that fits the inside of a polygon. It must touch the midpoint of each side of the polygon.

This is a way to improve contrast in the microscopic image. Stains and dyes are often used in biology and medicine to highlight structures in biological tissues, often with the aid of different microscopes.
Staining can be done on living tissues (in vivo) or on dead tissues (in vitro).
Dead tissue needs to be "fixed" so it does not decay. The fixative keeps the structure as it is. After fixation a tissue may be cut into thin slices, and put on a series of glass microscope slides. Occasionally, it is necessary to dissolve cell membranes so large dye molecules can get into the cells. Standards are published in the Biotechnic & Histochemistry journal.
The simplest way is to dip the slide plus specimen into a solution of dye, then rinse it and examine. The stains used are certified stains, tested by the Biological Stain Commission.
Gram staining is used to classify bacteria. It is based on the composition of their cell wall. Gram staining uses crystal violet to stain cell walls, iodine as a mordant, and a counterstain which marks all bacteria.
On most Gram-stained preparations, Gram-negative organisms are red or pink from the counterstain.
Haematoxylin and eosin staining is often used in histology for thin sections of tissue. Haematoxylin stains cell nuclei blue, while eosin stains cytoplasm, connective tissue and other extracellular substances pink or red.
Eosin is strongly absorbed by red blood cells, colouring them bright red. In a skilfully made H & E preparation the red blood cells are almost orange, and collagen and cytoplasm (especially muscle) go different shades of pink. Hematoxylin stains the cell nucleus and other acidic structures (such as RNA-rich portions of the cytoplasm and the matrix of hyaline cartilage) blue. In contrast, eosin stains the cytoplasm and collagen pink.

Output of C++ Program | Set 5
Difficulty Level: Rookie
Predict the output of below C++ programs.
The class Test has one user defined constructor “Test(int v)” that expects one argument. It doesn’t have a constructor without any argument as the compiler doesn’t create the default constructor if user defines a constructor (See this). Following modified program works without any error.
The program works fine because ‘a’ is static. Since ‘a’ is static, memory location of it remains valid even after fun() returns. So a reference to static variable can be returned.
Note that the line “Test t1();” is not a constructor call. Compiler considers this line as declaration of function t1 that doesn’t receive any parameter and returns object of type Test.

Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Liver
By Brandi Swieter
October is Liver Awareness Month. Now is the time to learn how to maintain a healthy liver so it can remain in the best condition possible for as long as possible. This month and every month after, individuals need to do what they can to keep their livers strong and working well.
Drink Plenty of Water
Water is necessary to flush out the toxins and keep the liver healthy and working well. It's important that everyone get enough to stay hydrated and well. Eight cups is the typical recommendation, though more may be necessary for those currently feeling unwell or needing a liver detox. A good rule of thumb is half your body weight in ounces.
Alcohol has a negative effect on the liver. It can cause liver toxicity or worse. Avoiding alcohol whenever possible is best. Those who still want to drink should only do so in moderation, with just a drink or two at a time. Drinking in excess can be extremely dangerous for both mental well-being and overall health.
Enjoy a Healthy Diet
A healthy diet can keep all systems within the body functioning well. To maintain a healthy liver, the right foods are necessary. Consuming foods such as fruits or vegetables on a daily basis will ensure the liver remains in optimal condition. Berries, pears, tea, and cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, are best for this job.
Being overweight can cause excess fat to build up on the liver. Fatty liver disease is possible because of this. Exercise will help to limit this fat buildup and keep the liver as healthy as possible. Regular cardio is necessary to get the blood and oxygen flowing and the heart pumping to burn fat and calories.
Avoid Toxic Chemicals
Certain chemicals and toxins in the air can do damage to the liver and other internal organs. Avoid these toxins where possible. When cleaning, for example, keep the room ventilated so as not to breathe in any of the harsh chemicals found within the sprays. Smoking should also be avoided.
Maintaining a healthy liver is an important part of maintaining overall health. By avoiding alcohol and harmful toxins, drinkings lots of water, enjoying a healthy diet, and exercising, people everywhere will have much healthier livers that function adequately. Even just making improvements in one area can be a huge help toward getting the liver to function healthily once again.

Taking care of an epileptic dog is easy. Your aim would be to give your fur baby a comfortable life while dealing with the illness. It is the best option to prevent the health of your furry friends from deteriorating as the disease progresses.
How is epilepsy in dogs diagnosed?
Epilepsy progresses in the animal’s body without you even knowing it. The disease can only be diagnosed when the first crisis appears. Dogs may have seizures between the ages of 6 months to 5 years. If your dog has a seizure, you should immediately consult a veterinarian. Early diagnosis is important for optimizing care for dogs with epileptic.
What if your dog has epilepsy?
Epilepsy is not a fatal illness, but frequent seizures can adversely affect a dog’s health. As a dog parent, there are several ways you can help your fur baby deal with epilepsy.
1. Regular visits to the veterinarian
Visiting a veterinarian is the best preventive measure for all illnesses. Dogs with epilepsy should be tested every 6 months to check for disease progression. The frequency and intensity of seizures are critical to animal health.
It is also important to have him do a blood test twice a year. Especially dogs given phenobarbital. High levels of this anticonvulsant in the blood can cause obesity and liver damage.
2. Appropriate medicine
It is best not to give our animals a lot of medicine. However, dogs with epilepsy need medications that help keep their body in balance.
Seizures are a major problem for affected dogs, especially if they occur frequently. Drug treatment reduces the frequency and intensity of seizures and protects the animal.
3. Avoid stress
Epilepsy has been shown to be emotionally related. People and animals with epilepsy who live in stressful environments tend to suffer from seizures.
The owner’s temperament is crucial to the dog’s behavior. Owners must then first change their lifestyles to reduce animal stress. Although a change of lifestyle cannot fight genetic heredity, it can, however, reduce the incidence of seizure attacks.
4. Basic precautions
Vaccines and pesticides are the basics to ensure the well-being of animals.
Right nutrition and exercise (physical activities) are very important to strengthen their immune system. Also, these factors help maintain a good metabolism and prevent other diseases that may cause harm to your dog.
5. Know how to react in the face of epileptic seizures
Treatment of epilepsy reduces seizures but does not eliminate the risk of seizures. Therefore, it is imperative that the owner be ready to help the dog.
What do you do when your dog has a seizure?
- Act calmly and rationally.
- Place the animal on a flat, stable surface to prevent it from falling and injuring. It can be placed on a pillow or mattress.
- Do not stick your dog’s tongue out or put your hand in your dog’s mouth. Animals can bite their tongue on their own or unknowingly harm people.
- If your veterinarian is prescribing anticonvulsants, follow the instructions.
- Heal the dog when the attack is over. Make room for him to breathe and regain his senses.

The idea of the South has a long history. In the recent past it has been revived as a possible frame for representing the cultural context of not just regions that are geographically located in the South, but also those that share a common post-colonial heritage. In this essay I explore the affinities and tensions between the South and parallel terms such as Third World and Antipodes. I argue that the South can extend the existing debates on cross-cultural exchange, and provide a useful perspective for representing what I call a ‘spherical consciousness’ in contemporary art.

#Place CO2 meters in the classrooms and in other crowded places within the building. Is the CO2 concentration above 800 ppm? Additional measures may need to be taken, such as renewing air filters
#Can there be insufficient ventilation? Then the classroom does not meet the standards of the Arbo and the RIVM
The management is obliged to ensure adequate ventilation. when you go to school
If the department cannot solve this itself, it must be reported as an urgent problem
be with a facility service or with the board. If colleagues have doubts
(continue to) exist about whether the ventilation is in order, an investigation by a
provide clarity to an independent third party. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has
subsidy made available for improving the indoor climate in schools.
The mr or or can also raise ventilation problems and make agreements about this
to do with school management. In the case of occupational health and safety measures, which concern safety and
health, mr and or have consenting rights. They may also insist on
research by experts. Furthermore, these councils can obtain external advice themselves, for example from the Knowledge Center Ruimte-OK, the GGD or the trade union.
If your employer fails to take measures, you can report it to the Inspectorate SZW (formerly the Labor Inspectorate). You can get that message do online. AOb-policy officer Marcel Koning: “An employer must comply with the Working Conditions Act! He or she may be far away in a board office, but no one is allowed to work in an unhealthy and harmful indoor climate.” And, he adds: it has been known for 2 years that a CO15 concentration that is too high is bad for health and learning performance. “Corona has demonstrably increased the urgency to tackle this. So sit on top of that, as parents and staff in the mr. This is the moment.”
You can also make a report together with the AOb. Then send an email to: [email protected] The inspectorate must always take action when reporting a trade union, mr or or.

A set of 1-10 subitizing cards that can be used in a variety of ways.
Use this teaching resource to encourage students to subitize arrangements from 1–10. It can also be used to help students practice addition and subtraction strategies such as counting on, counting back, or making 10.
Print out the cards on carstock to ensure durability, then cut them out. You will have 3 sets of cards – a set of fish cards, a set of frog cards, and a set of number cards.
Ways to use this resource to practice subitizing:
- Students choose a set of animal cards to play with. They choose a dot card and place the matching number card on top. For younger students, allow them to count the objects to reinforce one-to-one correspondence.
- Play a game of Memory using one set of animal cards and the number cards. For some students, you may wish to play with only the numbers 1–5.
Ways to use this resource to practice addition and subtraction fact strategies:
- Students play this game in pairs. They split the number cards and place the two sets of animal cards facedown in a grid formation. Player 1 flips over two cards, identifies the number on each card, and either adds or subtracts the numbers. If they can make the answer using their number cards, they win the two animal cards, e.g. if they flip over a 9 and a 7 and they have the digits 1 and 6 to make 16, they win the 9 and 7 cards. Play continues back and forth. Students keep their number cards each time in order to play throughout the game. The student with the most animal cards in the end, wins!
- Students use one set of animal cards and the number cards for this activity. They flip over an animal card, say the number, and determine how many more dots to make 10. They will place that number card on top of the animal card, e.g. if they flip over an animal card with 6 dots they will place the number card 4 on top because 6 + 4 = 10. Some students may need the assistance of a ten-frame and colored counters for this activity.
These are great to use as math center activities!

Benthic Ecology and Evolution Lab
Easton Lab at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
Dr. Easton’s Benthic Ecology and Evolution Lab at UTRGV explores the biodiversity and evolution of marine benthos from the coast to the deep sea. Benthos are fauna that live in, on, or in association with the seafloor. More information here.
Research in the Easton Benthic Ecology and Evolution Lab at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley focuses on the study of epibenthic megafauna on hard-bottom habitats and meiofauna of soft-bottom habitats. To study these benthic communities, we use a variety of tools to conduct biodiversity surveys, to explore biogeographic and community assemblage patterns, to identify potential drivers of these patterns, and to understand the phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships of select taxa. Of particular interest are the benthic communities of mesophotic and deep-sea habitats in the South Pacific and Gulf of Mexico. More information on current research project is available here.

This C++ program simulates the cache coherence problem graphically.
In computer architecture, cache coherence is the uniformity of shared resource data that ends up stored in multiple local caches. When clients in a system maintain caches of a common memory resource, problems may arise with incoherent data, which is particularly the case with CPUs in a multiprocessing system. (wikipedia)

Keruing is an imported hardwood
Keruing or apitong (Dipterocarpus) is widely scattered throughout the Indo-Malaysian region. Most of the more than 70 species in this genus are marketed under the name keruing. Other important species are marketed as apitong in the Philippine Islands and yang in Thailand.
The heartwood varies from light to dark red-brown or brown to dark brown, sometimes with a purple tint; the heartwood is usually well defined from the gray or buff-colored sapwood. Similar to kapur (Dryobalanops), the texture of keruing is moderately coarse and the grain is straight or shallowly interlocked. The wood is strong, hard, and heavy (density of air-dried wood is 720 to 800 kg/m3 (45 to 50 lb/ft3)); this wood is characterized by the presence of resin ducts, which occur singly or in short arcs as seen on endgrain surfaces. This resinous condition and the presence of silica can present troublesome problems. Sapwood and heartwood are moderately resistant to preservative treatments. However, the wood should be treated with preservatives when it is used in contact with the ground. Durability varies with species, but the wood is generally classified as moderately durable. Keruing generally takes to sawing and machining, particularly when green, but saws and cutters dull easily as a result of high silica content in the wood. Resin adheres to machinery and tools and may be troublesome. Also, resin may cause gluing and finishing difficulties.
Keruing is used for general construction work, framework for boats, flooring, pallets, chemical processing equipment, veneer and plywood, railroad crossties (if treated), truck floors, and boardwalks.

Australian plant species can require particular seasons, intensities or frequencies of burns to maintain healthy populations. It is important for conservation managers to understanding the fire needs and tolerances of plant species they are seeking to conserve. We undertook research to fill knowledge gaps about the fire needs of three threatened species of native Pomaderris shrub: P. adnata, P. bodalla and P. walshii. We found that high temperatures typical of higher severity fire maximised the germination of each species, without reducing the viability of seeds. All species also had persistent soil seed banks. These Pomaderris species principally occur in riparian zones, which typically experience less fire than surrounding areas and often feature plants that are less adapted to fire. We recommend that a regime involving occasional higher-severity fires, combined with long non-fire intervals, will benefit the long-lived Pomaderris populations while minimising impacts on the broader riparian ecosystems. This factsheet summarises findings from: Le Breton T.D., Natale S., French K., Gooden B., Ooi M.K.J. (2020) Fire-adapted traits of threatened shrub species in riparian refugia: implications for fire regime management. Plant Ecology 221, 69-81.

This week the children helped out with the cleaning of our outdoor classroom by weeding the plant beds, watering them, gathering leaves and raking. Our outdoor activities also included washing windows and sweeping the garden.
The aims of these activities, apart from the obvious! were to encourage children to care for their classroom and take ownership of their environment.
This promotes a sense of belonging and of community.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Economics: The study of production and the distribution of wealth.
13. This very simplistic definition of economics usually suffices for an individual or group that tries to understand the basic functions of its economic system. Economics and its study is aimed at understanding the economic reality that confronts subsistence and how to somehow control its impact in ones favor, or the greater benefit of the commonwealth. A curious look at present academic discussions in economics reveals that models and predictions based upon some mathematical formula will often suffice for an accurate description of economic reality. In reality, it is curious that the degree of certainty with which any of these mathematical modals adheres to reality can only be based on past results or historical fact. New shocks or variables among the participants in economic activity can reduce complex modals to entries in an academic mausoleum in the basement of some building. When these modals are analyzed within the scope of some shock, a certain disquietude will be expressed. The modals do not correctly estimate the importance of some economic policy factor, thus uncertainty. Uncertainty in economics is evidenced by economic panic.
13. It has been said that the end of economic activity is consumption. In other words, economic endeavors are driven for subsistence, as well as, a standard of living that is most often referred to as successful. Thus, economics as a discipline of study seeks to understand how the various participants in a economic system acquire wealth or success using the existing institutions. For a capitalist community, understanding the principle of supply and demand is a most basic analysis. Modals and theories are produced that seek to express the complex interaction of producers and consumers. Most economists and producers view the idea of a laissez faire society in which the markets function without interference from government or other entities as the ideal society for the provisioning of the needs of subsistence. Certainty to the outcomes of this society are usually only questioned when threats of war or some other common physical disaster affects the participants.
14. Unfortunately, the certainty of these outcomes are primarily based on the certainty of past outcomes. In this sense, confidence toward the future is rooted in the stylized facts from economic history that seem to justify a certain course of action. The problems of poverty, under and un-employment, environmental destruction and economic inequality, among many others, are justified by the realized gains or traditions of the economic system. While philanthropic activities acknowledge the problems inherent within a given economic system, the main thrust of economic study, the MBAs one might say, is to secure a greater portion or increase the national dividend or income. The problems of economic activity become the byproducts, also known as the externalities, of the system. In part, this is just a modeling efficiency that relegates these externalities to a position subordinate to the task at hand. The certainty of past results neglects a forward look that fails to account for the evolving nature of social systems and the fact that past economic activities have not produced success for a large part of the populace and environment.
15. It is curious that this backward look with all its dogmatic presumptuous ideas has not been challenged more thoroughly by economic study. It is widely evident that the results of past economic policy and thought have led to great economic problems for the future. Rather than building confidence, economic policies seem to only amplify the uncertainty toward the future. Indeed, environmental externalities may prove to change the entire nature of life as man knows it presently. Not only in the sense of the bio-sphere being degraded, but also on the productive capacities of any economic system. This is particularly true with regards to the basic need for adequate nutrition or food.
16. With regards to education and learning, the individuals experience the externalities of economic activity. These are not factors that can be subsumed or explained away from the economic dilemma facing the individual. While the modals may present stylized learning from which a person can understand the basic ideas of supply and demand, rarely do they address the problems of economics in a coherent or forward looking position. In fact, formal education tends to perpetuate the ideas of past economic policy and provide justification for their continuance. Thus economics becomes not an innovative study in how to address serious economic problems, but a rehashment of theories of management and modals of economic behavior that perpetuate the existing maladies.
17. Innovation is limited in its use to technological advancement. Innovation is viewed as investment that increases the capacity to produce in order that more consumption may occur. Innovation in the way that economics perceives its subject is reserved for the cranks or concerned elements of society groping with the present externalities of the system. Past experiments, one might say, with tampering with the lassez faire nature of economic activity have proved the validity of the present state of affairs. Thus formal education must seek to impart those elements of understanding that will perpetuate the validity of present economic activity, despite the contradictions and problems. With the collapse of central control of economic activity, such as in former communist states, an even greater degree of justification is given for capitalism as being the only possible economic modal.
18. From this formalization of economic facts, students in formal education are taught the rewards of playing the game, so to speak. Success is measured and viewed from a position of economic gain and/or growth. That gaps in wealth have steadily increased in the last fifteen years, does not enter into the rote rehashing of economic theory. Formal education becomes the means to the end with success measured in terms of the possession of money or its equivalent. Innovation in economic policy is reduced to the wishful thinking of bleeding heart liberals, whatever that defines. Innovation becomes a new way of producing better things cheaper. The rewards of education are the stuff that an individual can command control over, whether money or otherwise.
19. At this point, the articulation of economic policy presents its contradictions in full. Once one understands the basic assumptions of economic activity, one equally senses its disconnectivity to the learning of lifes experiences. The elusive success that is promised by economic policy only tends to diminish the certainty under which many economic modals operate. Those who seem to be profiting the most, or the most successful, seem to be those who adhere to the basic economic tenets and articulate them most forcefully. That the externalities that are produced by those who are successful is somehow justified, confronts the individual with a degree of pessimism and uncertainty that is not eased with philanthropic activities. The reality of maintaining any kind of subsistence level overwhelms constructive criticism and innovative thought. Economics continues to articulate those facts from the past that somehow justify the state of affairs.
20. Again a word must be spoken on the power of economic politics. These modals and theories do not exist within a vacuum. They are associated with the economic policies and aims of those in power. That formal economic education should articulate these policies is a given. The ability to be innovative in economic policy is diminished by the degree of uncertainty that would arise from such innovative thought. What might be described as path dependency becomes a natural law to which no individual group or entity should strive to negate. Manipulation of economic policy becomes geared to the perpetuation of existing conditions, despite its deficiencies and inequalities. This is not to say that the individual does not see the contradiction of this state of affairs. The problem once again becomes how can innovation be achieved in this state of affairs. Not just innovation of the means of production, but also innovation in economic policy that benefits the whole.
21. Thus once again we are faced with the fact that the methodology of economics is at odds with the goals of that methodology.

The group should be able to use a protractor to identify qualities of angles.
Setup Time: 15 minutes
Time: 35 – 45 minutes
Instruction: Whole class, pairs and Individual
1. Teachers should tape chart paper to the chalkboard. Students should lay their chart paper on the desk so it is visible to the group.
2. Connect two 24” Toobeez tubes into a straight line along the multi-holed equator of a sphere. This will serve as the 0º/180º line of the Toobeez protractor model. (*If enough Toobeez sets are not available, three models can be made per Toobeez set. The teacher model can be modified by using 36″ tubes, and student groups can construct models using either 24” or 16” tubes.)
3. Insert a 24” Toobeez tube into the center sphere along the multi-holed equator so that it is at a right angle with the tubes of the 0º/180º line. This will serve as the 90º line of the Toobeez protractor model.
4. Insert two additional 24” Toobeez, one on either side of the 90º line, so that both are midway between the 90º and 0º/180º line.
5. Teachers should hold their protractor model up to the center of the chart paper and have students do the same in their groups.
6. Using a red marker, color the chart paper to the right of the 90º tube.Write the word “acute” (<90º) above this area.
7. Using a green marker, write the word “right” above the 90º tube.
8. Using a blue marker, color the chart paper to the left of the 90º tube. Write the word “obtuse” (>90º) above this area.
Here are available Training Options!
1. Divide the students into groups.
2. Read aloud the following Activity Challenge Box to the group.
Challenge: The group should be able to use a protractor to identify qualities of angles.
3. Teachers should begin with a mini-lesson on measuring angles and protractor use. Hint: Use the Toobeez protractor model as an educational prop in the mini-lesson.
4. Using the remaining Toobeez pieces, each group should build model of each type of angle and classify it.
5. At their desks, each student should draw three examples of obtuse and acute angles.
6. Using their protractors, students should measure their hand-drawn angles.
7. After the activity, circle up the group and ask them the following questions: “How is a protractor used to identify types of angles?”
8. Finally, move to the “Activity Discussion and Processing” section of the activity.
To close the lesson, end with a group discussion about what was learned during the activity. Circle up the group and work through the following questions. If possible, record the group’s responses on flip chart paper so all comments are displayed.
Here are some additional topics for class discussion:
1. A different view.
Insert eight 24” Toobeez tubes into a sphere along the multi-holed equator. Present this to students as the interior model of a circle. Challenge the class to deduce from the model how many degrees are in a complete circle.
2. Extension/Follow up.
At their desks, have students draw several examples of some geometric shapes (for example, triangle, square and rectangle). Then have the students measure and record the angular measurements of these shapes. Challenge the students to identify any observed mathematical rules from their findings (for example, all the angles in a triangle add up to 180º).

Athlete Monitoring: Data Analysis and Visualization
Data Wrangling in R – Part 2
In this video I am continuing the data wrangling in R using tidyverse (actually the dplyr) package. With few basic functions (i.e.,group_by(), mutate(), summarize(), filter(), select()), you can pretty much do 80% of data wrangling for the athlete monitoring purposes. For more informations, please refer to R for Data Science book.
In addition to the above, I will show you how to simply merge two tables using the left_join() function. This can be extremely useful when merging data, like HR and GPS into a single table.
There are other packages in R, like data.table, that are worth checking out. But in this course, I will focus on the tidyverse.

Nothing special about Week 8 as my week long lessons had to focus on the upcoming CA1 exams. I think I feel “more relaxed” during Week 8 as I just need to go through the motion of going through “practice papers and worksheets with them”.
It is indeed boring for both teachers and students. But, that is the reality and doing practice paper and going through them is expectation of our current schooling system.
John has thrice as much money as Amy. The ratio of money of Amy to Zane is 3: 1. Zane has $16 lesser than John. How much does John have?
Here are some of the issues my pupils were having:
- Wrong Unit
My pupil started off promisingly with this model–
With Zane coming into the picture, the model becomes like this
My pupils do know about ratio and thrice as much . But they get all mixed up when there is 3rd party . Why? They seem to assume that all units are the same.
To solve this misconception, I would need them constantly check their model back to the question. Guess I will emphasize that in my subsequent lessons.
2) Even if the model is correct, they have problem identifying the number of units representing 16. They seem to see the 16 and forget the lesser. I guess I will need them to highlight the words so that they can be constantly reminded.
This is my second time teaching P6s. Having reflected on last year experience, I had adapted my teaching and hopefully that would bring about more fruitful learning form my pupils.
- Fewer assumptions about what they had known. This year, I no longer assume that my pupils know a lot. I prefer to assume less and work towards closing the gap. I no longer have the mental model “they should know”.
- More hands-on activities for Science. This year, I had done quite a fair bit of hands-on activities for my class. I always try to have activities (even if it is bite-sized) to get my pupils to feel Science . This includes bringing elastic spring balance to the class
- For Mathematics, I set a higher expectation for my pupils. Even if my pupils are not “mathematically-inclined”, I am no longer satisfied with my pupils just knowing simple questions. I hope to push them further and slowly work towards them solving some complicated problems. This week, I decide to push them and get them to do those a bit more complex ratio problems. At least half of them can get it (I just hope they do not forget)
Have tried letting my P6 pupils look at the P4’s creation. The response was not as good as I expected. I guess this might be due to the openness of the given task. Instead of telling them just to improve on the answer, I should have provided with “criteria for success” such as:
- Does the experiment show the property?
- Is the conclusion valid?
My P4 pupils are currently learning the different states of matter. It is easy for them to rattle off the properties but do they really understand? I decide to get them to create a meme (modeled after Be Like Bill) with the following template:
This is OXYGEN. [Object]
Oxygen has mass [Property]
The deflated balloon is always lighter than the inflated balloon [Experiment to demonstrate the property]
Oxygen is matter [Conclusion based on property]
Be like oxygen
It is interesting to see the pupils’ products. I can see some misconception (like the experiment does not demonstrate the property). Such “wrong” products are valuable learnable moments. I am going to get them to peer edit their peers’ creations.
Besides the peer editing , I intend to use the P4’s work and let my P6 “mark” their work. I would post my reflection on this once I have completed the activity.
I need to constantly remind myself that I am there to close their learning gap. It is useless to have the mental model “they should have learned this in Pri XX”. Since they are in my hands this year, I need to do what I can to close their learning gaps (no matter how wide it is). I am not god but I will do I can. Some the strategies/tips that I have done to close their learning gap
- Go slow with them (even if it takes one period to explain one question)
- Build their confidence. Let them practice doable questions
- Factual Frequency (Trying to get them to remember the basic maths facts)
- Give them “doable homework”. I do not see the point of giving them tonnes of homework in which they absolutely have no idea what to do.
- Wait Time . I need to constantly stop myself to give them answers but rather wait for them to try. Just this week, I stopped myself from giving my pupils the final step. Rather, I wait for them. It is indeed gratifying that some of them can get the final step at the end.
- Constantly remind them that they can do story sum. They just need to think more and read more. I am trying to convince them it is possible to do the story sum. I have also purposefully chosen some “doable” story sums for them.
It is the end of the first month and I am glad that my energy level is still going high. Some little things I keep myself going:
- Celebrate their little success
- Accept for who they are and no point having the frame “they should have learned that b4”
- Rather than getting frustrated with what they don’ know, work together to close their learning gap.

The Only Way Is Badger is a great book to show children how we can sometimes make mistakes and that is OK if we learn from them. The story follows badger who wants all the forest animals to be more badger and he lets the ones that can't be like a badger go because they're not like him.
The children's responses:
' We are all different and beautiful.'
'God didn't want us all to be the same. He likes us being different.'
' It makes me happy when I play with someone who likes playing with different things and games.'
A touching and beautiful picture book about being true to yourself and not letting anyone hold you back. This is the perfect story for children everywhere to remind them to be themselves no matter what the world tells you.
' We are good at different things...if we practise something we get good at it.'
I like making cars out of the mobilo. My cars have lots of wheels. I'm going to make fast cars when I grow up,'
'My brother likes dancing.'
What If We Were All The Same!

According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's is a serious cognitive disorder affecting millions of people around the globe. Elderly people with Alzheimer's have higher health risks as it may keep them from continuing their normal lives.
Their families often bear the burden of costly treatment on long-term maintenance, even if it is emotionally and financially devastating. While this is a burden, families need to realize different care options to prevent the difficult phase of Alzheimer's disease and make everything less drastic for both parties.
Dementia care services – It supplies more professional services for dementia patients. Services are provided by trained healthcare staff to lessen the state of patients. You can get dementia home care services via https://www.azurecare.co.uk/services/dementia-care/
Community and home care services – Most patients want to live in homes or communities as much as possible and households find it more convenient to meet and care for the needs of loved ones. It also reduces worries that a person could possibly be abused by workers in the center. You can hire someone from a private caregiver or a home health agency that will assist you to execute these activities. If home care is inadequate, external assistance can be available in the community.
Home health care – It supplies various skilled attention to help complete normal activities. Private services are normal daily activities like dressing, walking, bathing, walking along with others. Nursing care is also offered such as administration of medicines, treatment of wounds, and physical treatment. Other home health care services are available to satisfy the requirements of the individual.
Respite care – If you have a stressful job or life and want to take a holiday, then you're still able to offer relief for your parents or partner with Alzheimer's. This sort of care removes you from trying caregiver responsibilities and enables you to manage care more efficiently.

Watch the video The 5 Principles Behind the 10 Secrets on YouTube. I suggest you watch the lecture at least a couple of times before you write your response. We always miss important and interesting details when we read, watch or listen to something only once.
This is a presentation/lecture by trading educator Anton Kriel.
WEEK 6. Composition Exercise #3 due by Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 10pm.
Topic For Composition Exercise #3:
What motivated Anton Kriel to do this presentation? Based on the context in which Kriel discusses the concept what is a principle? What is Kriel’s complaint about mass education? Which one of the five principles do you find most useful and how could you apply it to help you reach your goals in life? Please answer these questions and explain your answers. Also quote from the video and other material you’ve explored this semester.
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTIONS
I’ll score your composition exercise on a 4-point scale with a point for format, a point for content, a point for focus and a point for clarity.
For your composition exercises please write:
1. (format) a 500-word composition. Use Courier New, 12-point font and double space and MLA style.
2. (content) Your composition needs an answer and specific details for each question in the topic. Within your 500-word limit you must cite from the material you’ve read and/or watched to support your ideas. As Abraham Lincoln wrote, “It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.” Use two-three quotes from the sources in your composition to “fit” your interpretation of the material.
3. (focus) Stay focused on the topic. Everything you write should have a connection to the topic and your ideas.
4. (clarity) When you proofread check for common errors like fragments, run-on’s, commonly confused words, tense shift, subject-verb disagreement, spelling, etc. Try to adhere to the KISS Principle.

During times of rapid environmental change, survival of most vertebrate populations depends on their phenomic plasticity. Although differential gene-expression and post-transcriptional processes of the host genome receive focus as the main molecular mechanisms, growing evidence points to the gut microbiota as a key driver defining hosts’ phenotypes. We propose that the plasticity of the gut microbiota might be an essential factor determining phenomic plasticity of vertebrates, and that it might play a pivotal role when vertebrates acclimate and adapt to fast environmental variation. We contemplate some key questions and suggest methodological approaches and experimental designs that can be used to evaluate whether gut microorganisms provide a boost of plasticity to vertebrates’ phenomes, thereby increasing their acclimation and adaptation capacity.

In October 2012 the 1st ever municipally owned Recreational Geology Trail opened. It is a Geologically rich trail in the heart of the Bonnechere Valley, leading to a limestone quarry and a hand-dug trench!
The Township of Bonnechere Valley in partnership with the Bonnechere Museum are happy to offer this local trail for recreational and educational use. Admire Eganville’s unique natural beauty as you walk through a hillside forest and past rock walls where geological treasures are abundant.
On the Geology and Fossil Trail you will come to the Grattan Quarry. This quarry was active in the 1800s to the early 1900s. The limestone was shipped to various places but some was used to build Eganville’s first town hall and the footings of the original St. James Church. It was first developed by James Bonfield in the 1800s and was owned by Shane Lime and Charcoal Company through the 1900s.
What you will see on this trail:
It’s outdoor fun for the entire family!
Check out the Museum Event Calendar for scheduled Geo-Walks and Fossil Hunts!

Reclaimed Water for Irrigation
Have you seen purple pipes around your town or neighborhood? What about signs that read, “Reclaimed Water. Do not Drink,” like the one below?
Reclaimed water is treated wastewater that is reused in a variety of ways, but it is mostly used in public access areas for irrigation of residential areas, golf courses, parks, etc. According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Water Reuse Inventory, Florida used 760 million gallons per day of reclaimed water in 2016.
Reclaimed water is treated to meet standards set by the Florida Administrative Code, but it differs from drinking water or rain water. It contains nutrients and salts, and depending on the level of treatment, there can be other biological, physical, or chemical constituents. For this reason, reclaimed water should not be used for drinking, showering, or cooking. At minimum, water is treated with a secondary treatment and basic disinfection. Some treatment facilities also treat with an advanced treatment. More information about reclaimed water and the treatment process can be found here.
Why is reclaimed water being used for irrigation?
The main benefit of using reclaimed water is it replaces the use of potable drinking water and conserves our supply of fresh water. However, because it contains nutrients, it should be managed properly to avoid downstream environmental impacts. Often, less fertilizer is needed when irrigating with reclaimed water. Conduct a soil test to determine your fertilizer application needs, especially if irrigating with reclaimed water. Refer to this EDIS document for more information.

The Jewish Revolt was unsuccessful in the end, in that it did not achieve the longed-for independence. In the Old Testament accounts
of the rebellion. However, we can perceive its significance for Judaism’s search for its identity.
In the brief period of the rebellion, Judaism was able to develop autonomously while not under foreign rule, and to evolve criteria for its own religious culture that still define Jewish life even today.
