Sammy gradually had his biological parts replaced with artificial parts and machines to sustain his life. Over time, his entire body was replaced except for his brain. Doctors then transferred Sammy's brain into a humanoid machine that could move and function, allowing him to leave the hospital. Though no longer biologically alive, Sammy continued to exhibit behaviors associated with life such as movement, thinking, and independence.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

2. SAMMY’S STORY
Sammy was a normal, healthy boy. There was nothing
in his life to indicate that he was anything different
from anyone else. When he completed high school, he
obtained a job in a factory, operating a machine press.
On this job he had an accident and lost his hand. It
was replaced with an artificial hand that looked and
operated almost like a real one.
Is Sammy Alive?
3. Soon afterward, Sammy developed a severe intestinal
difficulty, and a large portion of his lower intestine
had to be removed. It was replaced with an elastic
silicon tube.
Is Sammy Alive?
4. Everything looked good for Sammy until he was
involved in a serious car accident. Both of his legs and
his good arm were crushed and had to be amputated.
He also lost an ear. Artificial legs enabled Sammy to
walk again, and an artificial arm replaced the real arm.
Plastic surgery enabled doctors to rebuild the ear.
Is Sammy Alive?
5. Over the next several years, Sammy was plagued with
internal disorders. First, he had to have an operation
to remove his aorta and replace it with a synthetic
vessel. Next, he developed a kidney malfunction, and
the only way he could survive was to use a kidney
dialysis machine (no donor was found for a kidney
transplant). Later, his digestive system became
cancerous and was removed. He received nourishment
intravenously. Finally, his heart failed. Luckily for
Sammy, a donor heart was available, and he had a
heart transplant.
Is Sammy Alive?
6. It was now obvious that Sammy had become a medical
phenomenon. He had artificial limbs, nourishment was
supplied to him through his veins; therefore he had no
solid wastes. The kidney dialysis machine removed all
waste material. The heart that pumped his blood to
carry oxygen and food to his cells was not his original
heart. But Sammy's transplanted heart began to fail.
He was immediately placed on a heart-lung machine.
This supplied oxygen and removed carbon dioxide
from his blood, and it circulated blood through his
body.
Is Sammy Alive?
7. The doctors consulted bioengineers about Sammy.
Because almost all of his life-sustaining functions
were being carried on by machine, it might be possible
to compress all of these machines into one mobile
unit, which would be controlled by electrical impulses
from Sammy's brain. This unit would be equipped with
mechanical arms to enable him to perform
manipulative tasks. A mechanism to create a flow of
air over his vocal cords might enable him to speak. To
do all this, they would have to amputate at the neck
and attach his head to the machine, which would then
supply all nutrients to his brain. Sammy consented,
and the operation was successfully performed.
Is Sammy Alive?
8. Sammy functioned well for a few years. However, a
slow deterioration of his brain cells was observed and
was diagnosed as terminal. So the medical team that
had developed around Sammy began to program his
brain. A miniature computer was developed: it could
be housed in a machine that was humanlike in
appearance, movement, and mannerisms. As the
computer was installed, Sammy's brain cells
completely deteriorated. Sammy was once again able
to leave the hospital with complete assurance that he
would not return with biological illness.
Is Sammy Alive?
9. CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING
THINGS
All living things have these characteristics in common:
1. Made of Cells
Unicellular – Single celled organisms. One cells
carries out all functions of life.
Ex. Amoeba, Paramecium
Multicellular – Organism composed of several to
trillions of cells that function together in tissues
organs and organ systems.
Ex. Humans, plants
Colonial – Association of organisms that interact and
may share functions of life. Intermediate step in the
evolution of multicellular organisms.
Ex. Slime mould, algae, man of war jelly fish.
10. 2. Require Energy to Survive
Autotrophs – able to produce energy via cellular
processes
Photosynthesis: Energy from the sun converted into
sugars (chloroplast)
Chemosynthesis: Chemical energy converted into
useable energy for the cell.
Heterotroph – must ingest food as a source of
energy
Sugars from food converted into energy via cellular
respiration (mitochondria)
Tube worms around undersea
hot vents live symbiotically with
chemosynthetic bacteria.
11. 3. Grow, Develop and Change
4. Reproduce
Sexually or Asexually
12. 5. Respond to Stimuli
6. Display Heredity
Inheritance of traits from parents
