Develop a position paper on best practices for teaching English Learners. This paper should contain the student’s personal beliefs about and the best models to practice. Statements must be supported with research data. There must be at least THREE references. The textbook may serve as ONE reference (Education English Learners for a Transformed World) The paper must be typed using APA style, double spaced, and with a title page and a reference page. The paper should be no less than three pages in length.
The positon paper: why two way is the best method in Bilingual Education
1) Please explain the components of the Prism Model and why these components are important in creating a welcoming school that promotes success for English Learners.
2) There have been many programs and ideas in the US Public schools for how best to serve English Learners and close the gap between those who enter school speaking English and those who have to learn English along the way.
Following is a list of Bilingual Education Models that have been tried. According to the text book and the research of Virginia Collier and Wayne Thomas, please rate the following programs from 1-6 with 1 being the most effective program for student success and 6 being the least effective program for learning English:
__________Maintenance Bilingual Ed., Self-Contained
__________Transitional Bilingual Ed.
__________One-way Dual Language
__________Pull-out Bilingual Ed.
__________Two-way Dual Language
__________Enrichment Bilingual Education (30 min. per day)
The following programs are designed for ELs who do not live in an area where bilingual ed. is available or do not qualify for bilingual education due to the language they speak. Please rate the following ESL programs on a scale of 1-4 with 1 being the most successful way to teach English and 4 being the least effective program:
__________ESL Pull-out
__________Sheltered Instruction in the regular classroom
__________Total emersion with no language support
__________English enrichment, 30 minutes per day, by classroom teacher
3) Please explain the difference between a 50/50 model and a 90/10 model of Dual Language Education.
4) Why does 2-way Dual Language Education usually have better results than 1-way Dual Language Education?
5) In order to have an effective Dual Language program, there are two important things teachers should not do. What are they?
6) What does it mean to see other cultures not as a deficit but as a difference? Why is this idea important to your classroom?
7) We are required to have many formal assessments in our educational curriculum. However, informal assessment can be much more informative to the teacher of language learners. Please explain why Informal Assessments might be a better way for the teacher to know the true level of the student.

Homework
Value of Information
Please respond to the following:
-- Firms realize that in order to make money, they have to invest money. This can be attributed to the information that the firm relies on. As discussed in the text, there are seven characteristics of useful information. From the first e-Activity and assuming that you are new CFO of Strayer University, identify the top-three characteristics you would rely on the most for improving the profitability of the firm. Provide an example of how each characteristic would directly help the firm in terms of profitability.
-- On the other hand, public and private firms are accountable to a wide range of regulators and stakeholders. Of the seven characteristics, identify the top three that would be applicable to meeting the needs of regulators and stakeholders. Provide an example of how each characteristic would directly help the firm in terms of meeting the needs of these key regulators and stakeholders. [250 words][1-refreneces]
Impact of Design of an Accounting Information System (AIS)
Please respond to the following:
-- Some of the world’s most successful companies (Fortune 500) operate multiple lines of business. Despite this fact, many of these firms rely on a single AIS. From the second e-Activity, for the business you researched, examine how its lines of business would affect the design of a new AIS.
-- If the business was selecting a new AIS, examine how the business model would affect the design of a new AIS. [250 words][1-refreneces]

Statements must be supported with research data. There must be at least THREE references. The textbook may serve as ONE reference (Education English Learners for a Transformed World) The paper must be typed using APA style, double spaced, and with a title page and a reference page. The paper should be no less than three pages in length.
The positon paper: why two way is the best method in Bilingual Education
1) Please explain the components of the Prism Model and why these components are important in creating a welcoming school that promotes success for English Learners.
2) There have been many programs and ideas in the US Public schools for how best to serve English Learners and close the gap between those who enter school speaking English and those who have to learn English along the way.
Following is a list of Bilingual Education Models that have been tried. According to the text book and the research of Virginia Collier and Wayne Thomas, please rate the following programs from 1-6 with 1 being the most effective program for student success and 6 being the least effective program for learning English:

__________Transitional Bilingual Ed.
__________One-way Dual Language
__________Pull-out Bilingual Ed.
__________Two-way Dual Language
__________Enrichment Bilingual Education (30 min. per day)
The following programs are designed for ELs who do not live in an area where bilingual ed. is available or do not qualify for bilingual education due to the language they speak. Please rate the following ESL programs on a scale of 1-4 with 1 being the most successful way to teach English and 4 being the least effective program:
__________ESL Pull-out
__________Sheltered Instruction in the regular classroom
__________Total emersion with no language support
__________English enrichment, 30 minutes per day, by classroom teacher
3) Please explain the difference between a 50/50 model and a 90/10 model of Dual Language Education.
4) Why does 2-way Dual Language Education usually have better results than 1-way Dual Language Education?
5) In order to have an effective Dual Language program, there are two important things teachers should not do. What are they?
6) What does it mean to see other cultures not as a deficit but as a difference? Why is this idea important to your classroom?
7) We are required to have many formal assessments in our educational curriculum. However, informal assessment can be much more informative to the teacher of language learners. Please explain why Informal Assessments might be a better way for the teacher to know the true level of the student.

ASSIGNMENT: MIDTERM I PREPARATION
Due: Optional, but you should use it to prepare for the midterm.
Instructions: This is an optional assignment whose purpose is to prepare you for the midterm.
It consists of six problems. I strongly recommend that you attempt to prepare all questions. On
Tuesday’s Midterm I will pick four questions at random from this assignment which you will need to
answer.
1. Michele, who has a relatively high income I , has altruistic feelings toward Sofia, who lives in such
poverty that she essentially has no income. Suppose Michele’s preferences are represented by the
utility function
UM .cM ; cS / D c
1�˛
M c
˛
S ;
where cM and cS are Michele and Sofia’s consumption levels, appearing as goods in a standard
Cobb-Douglas utility function. Assume that Michele can spend her income either on her own
or Sofia’s consumption (though charitable donations) and that $1 buys a unit of consumption for
either (thus, the “prices” of consumption are pM D pS D 1).
(a) Argue that the exponent ˛ can be taken as a measure of the degree of Michele’s altruism by
providing an interpretation of extreme values of ˛ D 0 and ˛ D 1. What value would make
her a perfect altruist (regarding others the same as oneself)?
(b) Solve for Michele’s optimal choices and demonstrate how they change with ˛.
(c) Suppose that there is an income tax at rate �, i.e. net income now is just .1 � � /I: Solve for
Michele’s optimal choices under the income tax rate.
(d) Now suppose that besides the income tax rate �, there are charitable deductions, so that
income spent on charitable deductions is not taxed. Argue that this amounts to changing the
price pS from $1 to $.1 � � /. Solve for the optimal choices under both the income tax rate and
charitable deductions. Does the charitable deduction have a bigger incentive effect on more
or less altruistic people?
2. Suppose that a fast-food junkie derives utility from three goods—soft drinks .x/, hamburgers .y/,
and ice cream sundaes .z/—according to the utility function
U.x; y; z/ D x0:5y0:5.1 C z/0:5:
Suppose also that the prices for these goods are given by px D 1; py D 4; and pz D 8 and that this
consumer’s income is given by I D 8:
(a) Show that, for z D 0, maximization of utility results in the same optimal choices as in the
case of a Cobb-Douglas utility function U.x; y/ D x0:5y0:5. Show also th at any choice that
results in z > 0 (even for a fractional z) reduces utility from this optimum.
(b) How do you explain the fact that z D 0 is optimal here?
(c) How high would this individual’s income have to be for any z to be purchased?

Sales and Disposal of Assets
After reviewing the scenario, explain the impact that the adjusted basis has on the calculation of tax liability, and propose at least two (2) tax-planning strategies for reducing, eliminating, or deferring the payment of capital gains taxes. Also, discuss other alternatives aimed at optimizing deductions or reducing taxes, such as selling the property to an unrelated third party which, in turn, allows losses to be deductible expenses.
Imagine that you are a tax consultant and a client needs your advice on how to reduce his tax liability on the sale of depreciable assets that have not been fully depreciated. The client has identified three (3) long-term depreciable assets and assumes that he will be able to pay capital gains taxes on the profit from their sale. It would be to your client’s advantage to treat a taxable gain as long-term capital gain to which lower rates apply and a loss is categorized as an ordinary loss, which can offset ordinary loss, which can offset ordinary income. Discuss the treatment of gains and losses for Section 1231 and Section 1245 of the Internal Revenue Code, and recommend at least three (3) tax-planning strategies that would assist the client in reducing his tax liability.

In the other hand, a group is two or more people freely interacting who share norms and goals and have a common identity. The size of a group is limited by the potential for mutual interaction and mutual awareness. I was part of team during my military service, which I agree with the chapter that a team is more than just a group, because all my team members worked together towards a common goal and we all share responsibility for the team's success.

LAB 5: IMAGE FILTERING
ECE180: Introduction to Signal Processing
OVERVIEW
You have recently learned about the convolution sum that serves as the basis of the FIR filter difference equation. The filter
coefficient sequence {𝑏𝑘} – equivalent to the filter’s impulse response ℎ[𝑛] – may be viewed as a one-dimensional moving
window that slides over the input signal 𝑥[𝑛] to compute the output signal 𝑦[𝑛] at each time step. Extending the moving
window concept to a 2-D array that slides over an image pixel array provides a useful and popular way to filter an image.
In this lab project you will implement two types of moving-window image filters, one based on convolution and the other
based on the median value of the pixel grayscale values spanned by the window. You will also gain experience with the
built-in image convolution filter imfilter.
OUTLINE
1. Develop and test a 33 median filter
2. Develop and test a 33 convolution filter
3. Evaluate the median and convolution filters to reduce noise while preserving edges
4. Study the behavior of various 33 convolution filter kernels for smoothing, edge detection, and sharpening
5. Learn how to use imfilter to convolution-filter color images, and study the various mechanisms offered by
imfilter to deal with boundary effects

1. Nested “for” loops -- http://youtu.be/q2xfz8mOuSI?t=1m8s (review this part)
2. Functions -- http://youtu.be/0zTmMIh6I8A (review as needed)
Ensure that you have added the ECE180 DFS folders to your MATLAB path, especially the “images” and “matlab” subfolders.
Follow along with the tutorial video http://youtu.be/MEqUd0dJNBA, if necessary.
LAB ACTIVITIES
1. Develop and test a 33 median filter function:
1.1. Implement the following algorithm as the function med3x3:
TIP: First implement and debug the algorithm as a script and then convert it to a function as a final step. Use any
of the smaller grayscale images from the ECE180 “images” folder as you develop the function, or use the test
image X described in the Step 1.2.
(a) Create the function template and save it to an .m file with the same name as the function,
(b) Accept a grayscale image x as the function input,

(c) Copy x to the output image y and then initialize y(:) to zero; this technique creates y as the same size and
data type as x,
(d) Determine the number of image rows and columns (see size),
(e) Loop over all pixels in image x (subject to boundary limits):
Extract a 33 neighborhood (subarray) about the current pixel,
Flatten the 2-D array to a 1-D array,
Sort the 1-D array values (see sort),
Assign the middle value of the sorted array to the current output pixel, and

a piece of DNA that provides the
instructions for making (codes for) a
protein. This gives an organism a
particular trait. Genetic transformation
literally means change caused by genes,
involves the insertion of a gene into an
organism in order to change the organism’s
trait. transformation is used in
many areas of biotechnology. In
agriculture, genes coding for traits such as
pest, or spoilage resistance can be
genetically transformed into plants. In
bioremediation, bacteria can genetically

digest oil spills. In medicine, diseases
caused defective genes are beginning
to be treated by gene therapy; that is, by

In this activity, you will learn about the
process of moving genes from one organism

Abstract:
Giving the popularity of social networking sites lately, it has made an effect on the English
language either in a positive way by adding new words to the dictionary a negative way by misus-
ing the grammar and using incorrect abbreviated words like turning “you’re” to “your’. In this re-
search proposal I would like to investigate what the effect of using social networks has on the Eng-
lish language and see if it was more positive than negative and vice versa. I will be making a survey
page to collect data on the way people use these sites. Furthermore, we will see if people know the
importance of using proper English and try to make social networking sites improve our way of us-
ing the English language.
Introduction:
Technology has changed rapidly in the past five years, we became more reliant on our smart phones
and it completely changed the way we communicate with each other in our everyday life, it made it
easier for us to interact with people across the world with a single touch through social networking
sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Technology is clearly having some impact on the
English language and the words we use. Recently we saw how some Internet words have made it to
the Oxford dictionary this proves the impact it made, for example the word “Tweet” which means
according to the dictionary: “a posting made on the social networking service Twitter”. However,
some people think that it is okay to misuse Grammar or word spelling on social networking sites,
for instance, using “your” instead of “You’re”. So do these sites make a positive or a negative im-
pact on the English language?
Literature review:
A research titled “5 Ways That Social Media Benefits Writing the English language” written by
Mallary Jean Tenore in 2013 mentioned some ways that social media benefits writing and language,
such as how it increases the awareness of mistakes, when people make grammatical or spelling mis-
takes people will point them out via these websites therefore we become more aware of our spelling
and grammar thus improving our language. She also talked about how it creates new words and
meaning, such as “googled”, “tweeted”, “Friended”. She said that it also spotlight short writings
meaning it valued short storytelling with Vine videos where you have just six seconds to give a
message and in twitter you only have 140 characters to use which forces you to make every word
count.

ASSIGNMENT: MIDTERM I PREPARATION
Due: Optional, but you should use it to prepare for the midterm.
Instructions: This is an optional assignment whose purpose is to prepare you for the midterm.
It consists of six problems. I strongly recommend that you attempt to prepare all questions. On
Tuesday’s Midterm I will pick four questions at random from this assignment which you will need to
answer.
1. Michele, who has a relatively high income I , has altruistic feelings toward Sofia, who lives in such
poverty that she essentially has no income. Suppose Michele’s preferences are represented by the
utility function
UM .cM ; cS / D c
1�˛
M c
˛
S ;
where cM and cS are Michele and Sofia’s consumption levels, appearing as goods in a standard
Cobb-Douglas utility function. Assume that Michele can spend her income either on her own
or Sofia’s consumption (though charitable donations) and that $1 buys a unit of consumption for
either (thus, the “prices” of consumption are pM D pS D 1).
(a) Argue that the exponent ˛ can be taken as a measure of the degree of Michele’s altruism by
providing an interpretation of extreme values of ˛ D 0 and ˛ D 1. What value would make
her a perfect altruist (regarding others the same as oneself)?
(b) Solve for Michele’s optimal choices and demonstrate how they change with ˛.
(c) Suppose that there is an income tax at rate �, i.e. net income now is just .1 � � /I: Solve for
Michele’s optimal choices under the income tax rate.
(d) Now suppose that besides the income tax rate �, there are charitable deductions, so that
income spent on charitable deductions is not taxed. Argue that this amounts to changing the
price pS from $1 to $.1 � � /. Solve for the optimal choices under both the income tax rate and
charitable deductions. Does the charitable deduction have a bigger incentive effect on more
or less altruistic people?
2. Suppose that a fast-food junkie derives utility from three goods—soft drinks .x/, hamburgers .y/,
and ice cream sundaes .z/—according to the utility function
U.x; y; z/ D x0:5y0:5.1 C z/0:5:
Suppose also that the prices for these goods are given by px D 1; py D 4; and pz D 8 and that this
consumer’s income is given by I D 8:
(a) Show that, for z D 0, maximization of utility results in the same optimal choices as in the
case of a Cobb-Douglas utility function U.x; y/ D x0:5y0:5. Show also th at any choice that
results in z > 0 (even for a fractional z) reduces utility from this optimum.
(b) How do you explain the fact that z D 0 is optimal here?
(c) How high would this individual’s income have to be for any z to be purchased?

Sales and Disposal of Assets
After reviewing the scenario, explain the impact that the adjusted basis has on the calculation of tax liability, and propose at least two (2) tax-planning strategies for reducing, eliminating, or deferring the payment of capital gains taxes. Also, discuss other alternatives aimed at optimizing deductions or reducing taxes, such as selling the property to an unrelated third party which, in turn, allows losses to be deductible expenses.
Imagine that you are a tax consultant and a client needs your advice on how to reduce his tax liability on the sale of depreciable assets that have not been fully depreciated. The client has identified three (3) long-term depreciable assets and assumes that he will be able to pay capital gains taxes on the profit from their sale. It would be to your client’s advantage to treat a taxable gain as long-term capital gain to which lower rates apply and a loss is categorized as an ordinary loss, which can offset ordinary loss, which can offset ordinary income. Discuss the treatment of gains and losses for Section 1231 and Section 1245 of the Internal Revenue Code, and recommend at least three (3) tax-planning strategies that would assist the client in reducing his tax liability.

· 1-According to chapter 8, a team is small number of people with similar skills who are committed to one ambition, performance goals, and pursuit for which they hold themselves accountable. In the other hand, a group is two or more people freely interacting who share norms and goals and have a common identity. The size of a group is limited by the potential for mutual interaction and mutual awareness. I was part of team during my military service, which I agree with the chapter that a team is more than just a group, because all my team members worked together towards a common goal and we all share responsibility for the team's success.

LAB 5: IMAGE FILTERING
ECE180: Introduction to Signal Processing
OVERVIEW
You have recently learned about the convolution sum that serves as the basis of the FIR filter difference equation. The filter
coefficient sequence {𝑏𝑘} – equivalent to the filter’s impulse response ℎ[𝑛] – may be viewed as a one-dimensional moving
window that slides over the input signal 𝑥[𝑛] to compute the output signal 𝑦[𝑛] at each time step. Extending the moving
window concept to a 2-D array that slides over an image pixel array provides a useful and popular way to filter an image.
In this lab project you will implement two types of moving-window image filters, one based on convolution and the other
based on the median value of the pixel grayscale values spanned by the window. You will also gain experience with the
built-in image convolution filter imfilter.
OUTLINE
1. Develop and test a 33 median filter
2. Develop and test a 33 convolution filter
3. Evaluate the median and convolution filters to reduce noise while preserving edges
4. Study the behavior of various 33 convolution filter kernels for smoothing, edge detection, and sharpening
5. Learn how to use imfilter to convolution-filter color images, and study the various mechanisms offered by
imfilter to deal with boundary effects
PREPARATION – TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE LAB
Study these tutorial videos:
1. Nested “for” loops -- http://youtu.be/q2xfz8mOuSI?t=1m8s (review this part)
2. Functions -- http://youtu.be/0zTmMIh6I8A (review as needed)
Ensure that you have added the ECE180 DFS folders to your MATLAB path, especially the “images” and “matlab” subfolders.
Follow along with the tutorial video http://youtu.be/MEqUd0dJNBA, if necessary.
LAB ACTIVITIES
1. Develop and test a 33 median filter function:
1.1. Implement the following algorithm as the function med3x3:
TIP: First implement and debug the algorithm as a script and then convert it to a function as a final step. Use any
of the smaller grayscale images from the ECE180 “images” folder as you develop the function, or use the test
image X described in the Step 1.2.
(a) Create the function template and save it to an .m file with the same name as the function,
(b) Accept a grayscale image x as the function input,

http://youtu.be/0zTmMIh6I8A
http://youtu.be/MEqUd0dJNBA
2 of 6
(c) Copy x to the output image y and then initialize y(:) to zero; this technique creates y as the same size and
data type as x,
(d) Determine the number of image rows and columns (see size),
(e) Loop over all pixels in image x (subject to boundary limits):
Extract a 33 neighborhood (subarray) about the current pixel,
Flatten the 2-D array to a 1-D array,
Sort the 1-D array values (see sort),
Assign the middle value of the sorted array to the current output pixel, and
(f) Return the median-filtered image y.

In this portion of the lab, you will perform a
procedure known as genetic
transformation. that a gene is
a piece of DNA that provides the
instructions for making (codes for) a
protein. This gives an organism a
particular trait. Genetic transformation

Abstract:
Giving the popularity of social networking sites lately, it has made an effect on the English
language either in a positive way by adding new words to the dictionary a negative way by misus-
ing the grammar and using incorrect abbreviated words like turning “you’re” to “your’. In this re-
search proposal I would like to investigate what the effect of using social networks has on the Eng-
lish language and see if it was more positive than negative and vice versa. I will be making a survey
page to collect data on the way people use these sites. Furthermore, we will see if people know the
importance of using proper English and try to make social networking sites improve our way of us-
ing the English language.
Introduction:
Technology has changed rapidly in the past five years, we became more reliant on our smart phones
and it completely changed the way we communicate with each other in our everyday life, it made it
easier for us to interact with people across the world with a single touch through social networking
sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Technology is clearly having some impact on the
English language and the words we use. Recently we saw how some Internet words have made it to
the Oxford dictionary this proves the impact it made, for example the word “Tweet” which means
according to the dictionary: “a posting made on the social networking service Twitter”. However,
some people think that it is okay to misuse Grammar or word spelling on social networking sites,
for instance, using “your” instead of “You’re”. So do these sites make a positive or a negative im-
pact on the English language?
Literature review:
A research titled “5 Ways That Social Media Benefits Writing the English language” written by
Mallary Jean Tenore in 2013 mentioned some ways that social media benefits writing and language,
such as how it increases the awareness of mistakes, when people make grammatical or spelling mis-
takes people will point them out via these websites therefore we become more aware of our spelling
and grammar thus improving our language. She also talked about how it creates new words and
meaning, such as “googled”, “tweeted”, “Friended”. She said that it also spotlight short writings
meaning it valued short storytelling with Vine videos where you have just six seconds to give a
message and in twitter you only have 140 characters to use which forces you to make every word
count.

MN6003 Levis Strauss Case:
Adapted from: “Does Levi Strauss still fit
America?” by Caroline Fairchild October 6, 2014,
Fortune Magazine and “Levi Strauss - The Boss
and the yogi” Jul 12th 2014 from the Economist
It used to be the only name in denim. Today the
161-year-old family owned company is just one
name among hundreds. Can anyone bring the
blue jeans pioneer back to its old glory? Enter
Chip Bergh—a former P&G brand whiz who once
made razorblades cool. Chip Bergh is not an
“apparel guy,” he says, while walking through
Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the new
home of the San Francisco 49ers. Levi’s 20-year,
$220 million investment in the naming rights for
the 49ers stadium is part of a larger push to tap
into the nostalgia Bergh believes everyone has
for the brand. Despite the setting, Bergh isn’t
really a “sports guy” either. He is much more of a
company man. “I still bleed Procter & Gamble
blue,” he says about his former employer.
A crowd full of fans wearing your clothing is the
fantasy of anyone heading an apparel company.
But at Levi—the largest jeans company in the
world and the undisputed founder of the
category—the fantasy has been far from reality
for a long time. The creator of the 501 has
struggled to keep its brand relevant for what
Bergh calls Levi’s “Lost Generation.” For 120
years the term “Levi’s” was synonymous with
“blue jeans.” Then came the turn of the 21st
century, when a fashion explosion in denim
suddenly gave shoppers a range of high-end
choices—including brands like 7 For All Mankind
(founded in 2000) and True Religion (2002),
whose labels sounded more like cults than pants.
At the same time, lower-end rivals that had been
kicking around for a while (Lee and Wrangler)
began nibbling away at market share and
consumers defected to cheaper jeans, sold by
“fast-fashion” retailers like Zara and H&M. Levi
got lost in the middle. With $7.1 billion in 1996
sales, the company used to be bigger than Nike.
By 2003, Levi’s revenues had bell-bottomed out
to $4.2 billion. Over the next decade, sales rose
only barely as the company failed to translate
affection for the brand into actual purchases.
Levi’s design team was late to key trends, like
colored denim for women and more tailored jeans
for men. Once in the top quintile of
the Fortune 500, Levi dropped off the list in 2012.
That kind of decline would be a challenge for any
new CEO, yet Bergh, a 57-year-old vegan and
former U.S. Army captain, is bringing a discipline
to the company that had been missing for nearly
20 years. He has taken an axe to the company’s
inflated cost structure and is convinced that he
can make Levi grow again. While still relying
heavily on the classic pieces of clothing that are
the seam of the denim giant’s business (think the
button-fly jean, the white pocket tee, the trucker
jacket), Bergh is now investing i ...

1 Lab 3 Newton’s Second Law of Motion Introducti.docx
1
Lab 3: Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Introduction
Newton’s Second law of motion can be summarized by the following equation:
Σ F = m a (1)
where Σ F represents a net force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object moving
under the influence of Σ F, and a is the acceleration of that object. The bold letters in
the equation represent vector quantities.
In this lab you will try to validate this law by applying Eq. 1 to the almost frictionless
motion of a car moving along a horizontal aluminum track when a constant force T
(tension in the string) acts upon it. This motion (to be exact the velocity of the moving
object) will be recorded automatically by a motion sensor. The experimental set up
for a car moving away from the motion sensor is depicted below.
If we consider the frictionless motion of the cart in the positive x-direction chosen in
the diagram, then Newton’s Second Law can be written for each of the objects as
follows:
T Ma (2)
and
– gT F ma (3)
From this system of equations we can get the acceleration of the system:
2
gF
a
m M
(4)
Because the motion of the car is not frictionless, to get better results it is necessary to
include the force of kinetic friction fk experienced by the moving car in the analysis.
When the cart is moving away from the motion detector (positive x-direction in the
diagram) Newton’s Second Law is written as follows for each of the moving objects
m and M:
1 1– kT f Ma (5)
and
1 1– gT F ma (6)
Since it is quite difficult to assess quantitatively the magnitude of kinetic friction
involved in our experiment we will solve the problem by putting the object in two
different situations in which the friction acts in opposite directions respectively while
the tension in the string remains the same.
When the cart M is forced to move towards the motion detector (negative x-direction
in the diagram), the corresponding Newton’s Second Law equations will change as
follows:
2 2kT f Ma (7)
and
2 2gT F ma (8)
Note that in equations 5, 6, 7, and 8 the direction of acceleration represented by vector
a has been chosen in the same direction as the direction of motion.
We are able to eliminate the force of kinetic friction on the final result, by calculating
the mean acceleration from these two runs:

Combing the equations (5) – (8) we derive the equation to calculate the value of

SECTION: NEWS; Behind the News; Pg. 12
LENGTH: 1478 words
Having appeared at the forefront of ill-fated campaigns to save Queen's Pier and Wan Chai's Wedding Card Street - not
to mention the fame he attained four years ago as the youngest-ever candidate in district council elections - Chan
King-fai is a veteran in fielding media questions these days. However polished as he might be, he recalls one
particular question that really annoyed him a month ago.
"It was this television journalist who was interviewing me for, well, one of those handover anniversary specials," he
said. "And after all the deliberate questions, he said he had one final question he had to ask me: whether I feel I'm
Chinese now. So after all the discussion that went on about our work, it boils down, again, to such a simplified view of
things."
It's easy to see the source of his ire: for someone who fronts a group called Local Action - comprising activists whose
major objective is to salvage Hong Kong's heritage from the relentless claws of urban renewal - the old chestnut of
taking sides on the Sino-British divide is akin to a swipe at his efforts in cultivate an organic cultural identity for Hong
Kong.
"It's always been such a rigid framework - either you choose to be an Anglophile, or you consider yourself Chinese.
But it's so ridiculous: it's like when somebody said to me that since I admired Queen's Pier so much I must have feelings
for the colonial era, and not for China," Mr Chan said.
Fellow Local Action activist, Chow Sze-chung, agreed, saying: "When we talk about Queen's Pier, it's not just about
British monarchs having landed here. What we wanted to remember is how more than 30 local social movements had
begun and happened right here."
Their view embodies a popular sentiment that bubbled among intellectuals before the handover on July 1, 1997, and
has soared to the forefront in the past few years: that beneath all the focus of Hong Kong as an incidental success story
that resulted from the political manoeuvres between two political powers, there's also a Hong Kong story to be written.
In this story a Hong Kong-specific cultural identity - an indigenous mix of the city's history, from its social upheavals
and heritage to its popular culture - plays a central role.
And it's a mass social movement which basically propelled Mr Chan, his fellow activists and probably even more of the
city's residents in acknowledging that there is a society out there and not just a co-existence of cynical, get-rich-quick
individuals. Hackneyed this might sound, but the demonstration on July 1, 2003, instilled into many a Hongkonger a
communal spirit and local consciousness that had been more or less ambivalent, or even absent, in the past.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
