The document discusses research on the role of morphological awareness in Chinese children's character and word acquisition. It describes two experiments conducted with 292 Chinese children in grades 1, 3, and 5. The first experiment showed that 3rd and 5th graders could select characters containing the correct radicals even for unfamiliar whole words, indicating awareness of the relationship between radicals and character meaning. The second experiment found children were better able to use radicals to derive new character meanings when the radicals were familiar and the conceptual difficulty was low. Children rated as good readers by teachers showed more radical awareness than poor readers.
National Heritage Areas a Workshop at Heritage Canada 2014Brenda Barrett
This document discusses evaluations of National Heritage Areas conducted by the National Park Service. The evaluations found that the heritage areas were meeting their legislative goals of conserving cultural and natural resources, providing education and interpretation, and promoting recreation and heritage tourism. The heritage areas leveraged National Park Service funding at least 4 to 1 and employed sustainable management structures. The evaluations recommend increasing data collection, enhancing fundraising, fostering closer ties between heritage areas and the National Park Service, and addressing leadership succession planning.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Motion refers to when a body continuously changes its position with respect to its surroundings. There are different types of motion including linear, rotatory, and oscillatory motion. Linear motion can be rectilinear or curvilinear depending on whether the body moves in a straight line or curved path. Rotatory motion occurs when a body turns around an axis while staying in one place. Oscillatory motion refers to swinging back and forth around a mean position. The branch of physics that studies motion and its relationship to forces is called mechanics, which can be divided into dynamics which considers motion under forces, and kinematics which studies motion without reference to causes.

This study examined whether a method called meaningful interpretation and chunking (MIC) could improve students' learning and retention of Chinese characters. Students were randomized into a treatment group, who learned characters using MIC, and a control group, who learned through rote repetition of stroke order. The treatment group showed better immediate learning and retention of characters. The teacher-cued method and familiar independent work were more effective than teacher-instructed and unfamiliar work. The treatment effect varied across measurement components, instruction levels, and heritage versus non-heritage groups.
The document discusses the concept of indigenous cultural landscapes and how they can be used for land conservation, interpretation, and tourism. It describes how indigenous peoples lived within and used different parts of large landscapes centered around major waterways for various purposes. Recognizing indigenous cultural landscapes respects indigenous cultures and encourages conservation by appealing to the public's interest in indigenous history and attachment to place. It can help preserve larger natural areas that more accurately reflect indigenous lifeways and bring equality and visibility to indigenous communities.
This document lists several photographers including Karsten Heurer, Bruce Kirby, Joe Riis, Harvey Locke, and Wayne Sawchuck. It also mentions Yellowstone to Yukon and National Heritage Areas.
This presentation discusses initiatives and strategies for sustaining working cultural landscapes in the US. It notes the trend towards larger industrial farms and loss of small family farms. Case studies are provided of efforts to conserve heritage agricultural landscapes through partnerships supporting sustainable farming, food policy programs, and initiatives recognizing cultural heritage values. Both challenges and opportunities are discussed for different types of agricultural landscapes and specialty crops.
Introduction to World Rural Landscapes North AmericaBrenda Barrett
The document discusses the World Rural Landscapes initiative which aims to foster global cooperation around conserving and managing rural landscapes. It has established committees in different regions, including North America, to catalog important rural landscapes through case studies, classifications, and an atlas. The North America committee's initial tasks are to create a glossary, bibliography, and case studies on landscapes like Pennsylvania's fruit belt and Maine's blueberry barrens. The overall goal is to promote increased awareness and protection of significant cultural rural landscapes.
The Role of Heritage in Revitalizing Landscapes - Heritage Canada 2014Brenda Barrett
The Pennsylvania Wilds demonstrates the value of the state's conservation landscape program and on working on a regional scale as a tool for rural revitalization. Such work can build a more resilient community when faced with global energy issues such as drilling for natural gas.
