Cameras capture images much like the human eye, using a lens to focus light and a shutter to capture moments in time. The first cameras date back to the 1840s but it wasn't until the mid-1800s that their use became widespread. Cameras have had a profound impact, allowing the documentation of history and everyday life as well as the spread of information through photographs in print media and movies. Today, cameras are ubiquitous and are used for purposes from family photos to scientific research and security surveillance.
This document outlines an etwinning project between students from multiple countries to study the Age of Newton in history, science, and literature. Students will research different aspects of the period - one group examines the historical outline, another studies typical literature, and another investigates scientific and mathematical discoveries. They will then share what they've learned with each other. The goals are for students to learn about Newton from various perspectives, improve their English communication skills, and develop teamwork abilities through intercultural collaboration. Teachers will use various ICT tools like blogs, TwinSpace, and presentations to facilitate sharing findings.
Charles V attempted to redefine the Holy Roman Empire as a universal entity controlling many countries across the world through imperial public law, though they had no common legal system, administration, or language. Early maps of the Earth were crude but Prince Henry of Portugal explored Africa for trade, proving oceans navigable. Missionaries spread Christianity with European empires for conquest, settlement, and trade, with some like Montesinos criticizing the mistreatment of native peoples.

From the Trenches: Building the Accessible WebEffectiveUI
The document discusses building accessible websites from a practical perspective. It addresses how accessibility can fall by the wayside due to roadblocks from stakeholders, designers, and developers. It advocates keeping goals realistic and using progressive enhancement, where the basic accessible content and structure is provided first before other enhancements. An example project for the Blue Angels website is described where progressive enhancement was applied during the definition, design, and development phases while maintaining an audit trail.
This document provides an autobiographical portfolio for Ashley Rianne Wong. It includes sections on her personal health history, family tree, fitness data and nutrition standards, social and emotional health, future aspirations to become a pediatrician and cure cancer, and reflections on how media influences society's standards and her desire to think independently.

The document discusses reasons why smart and experienced leaders sometimes make bad decisions. It examines research in neuroscience and psychology to understand decision-making. Four main reasons are provided: 1) Overreliance on past experience that does not fit the current situation. 2) Unconscious self-interest that is not recognized. 3) Making prejudgments early on and sticking to them despite new information. 4) Attachments to people, places, or things that cloud objectivity. To reduce bad decisions, leaders must recognize their own biases, get different perspectives by bringing in opposing views, and have boards that engage in real debate rather than just agreeing.
Pisthacos are legendary creatures from Peruvian folklore that were said to kill travelers on lonely roads in order to extract and sell their fat. According to the legends, Pisthacos appeared in pre-Hispanic times and looked different than Incas with blond hair and blue eyes. While considered a legend for many years, in 2009 four men were arrested in Peru for actually killing people and extracting/selling their fat for cosmetic uses in Europe, lending some credibility to the old folktales.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The constant focus on the narrative, the strategy and best practice mean that companies really don't want to worry about process and practical implementation once the reporting cycle has begun.

The document summarizes an experiment testing the biodegradability of various disposable food containers in a backyard garden over five months. Two cardboard containers completely broke down, while wax-coated paper cups showed some change. A compostable plastic cup and biodegradable foam showed no visible changes. Surprisingly, an additive in the foam mutated and grew into an edible and healthy herb, demonstrating the potential for disposable products to biodegrade and provide benefits. The experiment highlights the need for commercial composting facilities to fully break down many "eco-friendly" containers within a year.

This document discusses how social media and search engine optimization (SEO) are blurring together. It outlines how Google uses social signals from platforms like Google+ in its search rankings. It recommends three immediate actions for businesses: 1) Include keywords in Google+ profile links, 2) Claim content ownership using rel="author" tags, and 3) Increase social shares linking back to content. The document suggests this "social SEO" approach can help websites rank in Google search without other traditional SEO techniques.
