This study investigated the effects of collaborative learning on problem solving abilities among senior secondary physics students learning about simple harmonic motion (SHM). The study found that:
1) Most physics teachers in the schools studied lacked proper teaching qualifications.
2) Students faced difficulties with SHM problems due to lack of understanding terms, basic math skills, and confidence. They benefited from collaborative learning and computer simulations.
3) Students taught with collaborative learning scored significantly higher on problem solving tests than those taught with traditional methods, showing collaborative learning improved problem solving abilities in SHM.

Water Ambassador booklet
This document provides background information on water issues in the American West. It discusses how the arid climate results in scarce water resources. It also describes how Western water law developed based on "first in time, first in right" to allocate water, particularly to support the mining industry. The geology of the region is outlined, noting how it formed natural resources like coal and shaped the landscape. Energy development places new demands on water supplies. Overall, the document establishes the historical, legal and environmental context surrounding water in the Western United States.
Pima County Travel Reduction Program Training: April 2015
The Pima Association of Governments (PAG) oversees the Travel Reduction Program to reduce traffic and improve air quality in Pima County. The program requires employers with 100+ employees to assign a Transportation Coordinator who completes annual reporting and distributes information to encourage alternative commuting. PAG's Sun Rideshare program provides resources like ride matching, transit routing assistance, and a guaranteed ride home program to support carpooling, biking, walking and public transit use among employees. Transportation Coordinators are responsible for completing required reports and surveys each year to support the program goals.
Scams will never stop
Scammers will continue to find new ways to scam people despite prevention efforts. The FTC provides resources to help identify and report scams that are commonly carried out through email or phone. Some classic signs of a scam include unsolicited contact from outside the US, requests to deposit and send money, and stories that change or can't be verified. It is important to independently verify any suspicious communications before taking action and to remain vigilant against evolving scams.
Putin's Russia - The New American Magazine - 1-22-07.pdf
- Saddam Hussein was executed for crimes committed in 1982, but in the 1980s he enjoyed support from the United States during the Iran-Iraq war.
- The CIA had contacts with Saddam dating back to 1959 and intensified relations after the Iran-Iraq war began in 1980, with the Reagan and Bush administrations authorizing arms sales to Iraq.
- It is ironic that Saddam was executed for 1982 crimes when the U.S. backed and armed him during the same time period for which he was later punished.
Racing recumbent trike final
This document discusses recumbent trikes for racing. It describes the two main configurations - delta and tadpole - and compares their advantages and disadvantages. The tadpole configuration has better braking and handling due to two front wheels, while the delta is easier to design but has worse braking and roll. Recumbents provide ergonomic and aerodynamic benefits for racing. The document also examines seat, wheel, and braking options for recumbent trikes and their tradeoffs.

This document summarizes various components that transmit power from an engine to the drive wheels of a vehicle, including the clutch, transmission, transaxle, drive shaft, differential, and torque tube system. The torque tube system, also known as a Hotchkiss drive, uses two universal joints to transmit power from the transmission to the rear axle while allowing for suspension movement and canceling out speed fluctuations in the driveshaft. This system was commonly used in rear-wheel drive vehicles from the 1920s through the 1970s.

Starbucks has built a strong global presence with over 22,000 stores in 67 countries. However, new trends toward healthier, more transparent foods threaten Starbucks if they do not adapt. While Starbucks enjoys brand loyalty and consistent products, concerns over food quality and high prices compared to competitors pose weaknesses. Expanding into tea, consumer goods, and healthier options could strengthen Starbucks against threats like declining coffee prices and growing home coffee consumption. Adaptation will be key for Starbucks to secure future growth amid changing consumer preferences.

Protecting your iolta and operating accounts
This document discusses protecting law firm operating and IOLTA bank accounts from fraud. It notes that under the UCC, business accounts like IOLTA accounts may not be protected if signatures are forged. It recommends setting up fraud prevention services like positive pay, reverse positive pay, ACH controls, and proxy accounts to match checks written against those presented for payment and filter electronic transactions. These services can help detect non-matching checks and block unauthorized electronic money movement. Using proxy account numbers instead of actual account numbers when receiving payments can also help protect accounts from being compromised. Staying aware of the latest scams is also advised.

The continuum of client communication
The document discusses different methods of communicating with clients and when each is appropriate. It recommends choosing a method that builds the client relationship rather than just being convenient. For routine updates, email or texts are fine, but clients should be notified to expect this. If a client question is unclear or complicated, a phone call is best to clarify quickly rather than an email exchange. Communicating inconveniently should be avoided, as should chronic procrastination, as this damages client relationships over time. The best approach is to discuss communication preferences with clients and use phone or video calls for important, complicated or anxiety-provoking matters.
7 steps you can take now to protect your data

2. Set up two-factor authentication for cloud services by using a strong password and secondary verification code.
3. Install hardware and software firewalls to block unauthorized access to computers and networks.
4. Install and regularly update anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spyware programs to detect and remove malware.
5. Run operating system and software updates automatically to patch security vulnerabilities.
6. Be prepared to shut down systems if a breach is suspected to prevent further damage.

A bright future for new lawyers
The document discusses trends in the legal profession in Oregon. Law school admissions have dropped by 50% or more in the last three years, mirroring national trends. Thirty-five percent of Oregon lawyers plan to retire or leave the profession by 2017. Rural areas have long faced a shortage of lawyers, with most being public defenders or prosecutors. However, the declining numbers of lawyers means opportunities are opening up for new graduates to start solo practices, especially in rural areas or small towns that have been underserved. The future outlook for new lawyers in Oregon is positive.

1) Filing documents through eCourt carries risks as filings are not automatically accepted and it can take 1-3 days for clerks to process documents. If a statute of limitations expires during this time, filers may need to request relation back.
2) To request relation back for a rejected filing, filers must resubmit the document within 3 days of rejection with a cover letter explaining they are requesting relation back and include specific language. Even if all requirements are met, relation back is at the court's discretion.
3) Filers can also request relation back due to technical difficulties with eCourt, following the same resubmission steps and providing exhibits supporting the technical issues. Proper filing is
