PLANT SEASONS (*When and for how long a certain plant grows*)
To figure out what to plant in your garden, you have to first know what can grow in the climate where you live.
Vancouver climate: Vancouver and the UBC Farm are located in a temperate rainforest.
place of origin
Where a plant comes from is called its place of origin. Did you know that many of the plants we think come from a particular place are not native (*originally from a specific place*). Native plants, like salmonberry, fiddlehead fern, salal and thimbleberry have grown in Vancouver for thousands of years and each have a season in which they can be eaten during the spring and summer.
What to plant
We eat different parts of different plants. For some plants we may eat the root and the leaves, while for other plants, we may only eat the seeds. Each fruit or vegetable crop has its own unique (*one of a kind*) roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds. This means that each plant (like carrot or sunflower) will grow to be a different size and shape.
Storing Plants
There are fewer edible plants (*plants we can eat*) available in the wintertime. We can, freeze, or store hardy crops in cool storage so that our food lasts through the winter.

The impact of innovation on travel and tourism industries (World Travel Marke...Brian Solis
From the impact of Pokemon Go on Silicon Valley to artificial intelligence, futurist Brian Solis talks to Mathew Parsons of World Travel Market about the future of travel, tourism and hospitality.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

6. 1. One of the four natural divisions of the year, spring, summer, fall, and winter, in the North and South Temperate zones. Each season, beginning astronomically at an equinox or a solstice, is characterized by specific meteorological or climatic conditions. b. The two divisions of the year, rainy and dry, in some tropical regions. 2. A recurrent period characterized by certain occurrences, occupations, festivities, or crops.
7. The reason why earth has different weather for different seasons is due to the tilt of the earth. During our summer the Northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. During our winter the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. This tilts causes a difference in the amount of sunlight energy we receive. Since the sun is the energy that drives weather, if you vary that sunlight amount then you vary the weather. Tilt : inclinación Amount: cantidad Weather : tiempo atmosférico vary;: variar Why do we have seasons?

21. In agriculture, the harvest is the processes of gathering mature crops from the fields. The harvest marks the end of the growing season, or the growing cycle for a particular crop, and this is the focus of seasonal celebrations. On smaller farms with minimal mechanization, harvesting is the most labour-intensive activity of the growing season. Large farms use sophisticate farm-machinery. The harvest is carried to the consumer market . Crops, field, gather, harvest
22. Tools for harvesting The axe was a very important tool. With an axe the homesteader built a home, chopped firewood, chopped down trees and cleared the land. A pickaxe , hoe and spade (shovel) were used for digging and turning over the soil. A wooden rake was used to level the soil. Grain or hay was cut with a scythe (a long blade on a stick) or a sickle (a curved blade on a stick) and left to dry in the sun. A cradle scythe (also called a hand cradle) cut the hay and also dropped the hay in piles. A pitchfork was used to gather up the hay or grain into piles. Then the hay or grain was loaded onto a cart or wagon and stored in the barn. A flail was used to separate the seeds from the rest of the plant
23. PLOWING AND PLANTING The land was broken up with a plow (or plough). The plow had a sharp blade that cut into the earth and turned over the soil. The plow was pulled by oxen or horses. The farmer had to keep the blade of the plow in the ground and had to be careful not to hit any large rocks, stumps or roots. Next a harrow was pulled over the soil to break up the lumps and smooth out the ground. A harrow looked like a large rake with rows of teeth. A plow
24. Then the farmer sowed the seed (planted). Wheat, rye, oats, barley and flax (for making linen) were planted. After the seeds were planted, there were many ways that the crop could fail -- too many weeds, drought (no rain), floods, frost, hail, insects, plant diseases and prairie fires destroyed crops.
25. HARVESTING AND THRESHING harvesting the crop with a scythe When a crop was ready to harvest the farmer used a sickle, scythe or cradle scythe to cut the crop. Then the stalks were bundled into sheaves. The bunch of sheaves were leaned against each other so the sheaves stood up. The standing bundles were called stooks . The stooks were left to dry in the field. Later, the sheaves were hauled to the barn. Sheaves of weat
26. The grain was spread out on the floor of the barn and hit with a flail. Seeds, chaff (bits of seed head) and straw remained. After most of the straw was raked away, the farmer gathered what was left. The grain seeds and chaff were placed in a winnowing tray (or basket) and shaken and tossed on a windy day. The wind blew the light straw and chaff away and the seed would fall back in the tray. Winnowed grain was stored for animal feed or taken in sacks to the mill to be ground into flour. Stone-ground flour was better than flour ground by hand.
28. Take three pots and put some soil in the pots. Put some fast-growing seeds in each pot, for example, cress or radishes. Now put the pots in places that have different light, for example, put one in a room with lots of sunlight, one in a room that has a little light, and one in a cupboard. Look at the pots every day. What happens to the seeds? Write a report about the experiment.
29. Fill a jar with some water. Add some food colouring. Put a stick of celery or a stem with a white flower in the water. What happens to the celery stick or the flower petals? Write a report about the experiment.

37. A bean is planted in the ground. It is dry and has a tough outer shell. It only takes a few things to make changes happen.
38. The sun provides heat and light . The plant also needs water and nutrients from the soil to help it grow.
39. The bean begins to sprout and grow. This stage is called germination.
40. The seed is swelling and getting bigger as the plant develops. The hard casing drops off, into the soil.
41. The bean plant begins to develop a stem , roots and leaves . The stem grows upwards, towards the light, while the roots are beneath the ground.
43. The bean plant now develops flowers . The flowers have male and female parts so that the plant will pollinate .
44. The flowers on the plant are fertilised and new beans grow.
45. Apples are ready to be harvested any time from late summer to late fall. Autumn is the perfect time for kids to celebrate apples. Celebrate this Autumn with these apple activities, crafts and recipes. Apple Picking and Counting Visiting an apple farm and picking your own apples is a blast for kids. Kids will have fun counting and choosing their own apples. You can use it as a learning experience. Be sure to have questions ready to be asked. The people on the farm will enjoy answering all your questions on apples and how to raise your own apple orchard.
46. how to grow apples and apple tree care. Fall is the absolute best season for eating. The culinary bounty is endless. From onions to squash and from nuts to fruits, Fall has something scrumptious to offer at every turn. With all these delights it’s hard to narrow down one seasonal obsession.
47. Why Do Leaves Change Color? To introduce children to the reason autumn leaves turn colors, provide the class with copies of poems about autumn leaves. Discuss the meaning of new vocabulary words, such as chlorophyll, hues, fades, flecks, etc. Leaves Fall Off A maple tree loses about 600,000 leaves in the fall! That number might be tough for students to work with, so look at leaves on one branch of a deciduous tree. How many leaves do students think are on a branch? Count the leaves on a low branch. Compare with the estimate. How can students use this number to estimate the total number of leaves on the tree? If possible, revisit the tree throughout fall to see how fast the leaves fall off.
48. Looks, Smells, Feels Wrap up this lesson by bringing students together for a sharing session. Begin by asking students to suggest words that describe leaves . List these words on chart paper. On a second piece of chart paper, write the words looks, smells, and feels across the top. Display the word list and the chart, then invite students to take turns classifying the words, copying the words from the list on leaf-shaped cards, then pasting them under the correct heading. Challenge students to add new words to each column, too.
49. Like a Leaf For a change of pace, invite students to dramatize falling leaves in different kinds of weather. Introduce the activity by looking at the weather outside. Is it a calm day? Windy? Pouring? If you can, play appropriate music. (Clips from a software program such as the Microsoft Composer Series on CD-ROM make it easy to jump from one musical selection to another). Ask students to "fall" the way they think leaves would in the kind of weather you describe.
50. This game consist on put into groups according with the parts of this work: harvest, nature, festivals and back to school. There are 32 cards.
83. The two squirrels on top of the page have 6 acorns to share. In which ways can they divide the acorns? The children cut out 6 acorns each time and divide them between the 2 squirrels. The squares are used to paste the acorns on. The children must use different numbers each time.
117. Spiral apple tart With a shortbread crust, a cheesecakelike filling, and a delicately spiced apple topping, this elegant tart tastes divine and is a blast for kids to prepare. Our kid testers said arranging the apples in circles was "the best part."
118. Ingredients CRUST: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons confectioners sugar 1/2 cup butter, cut into 1-inch pieces FILLING: 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened 1 egg 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract TOPPING: 5 to 6 firm apples, peeled, cored,and thinly sliced 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon butter GLAZE: 1/2 cup apricot jam 1 tablespoon water
