Wisconsin was home to many Native American tribes as early as 1100 AD. Aztalan was one of the earliest settlements, located along a river in an area with good soil and resources. The village was surrounded by walls and contained houses and agricultural fields. Later tribes like the Menominee, Sauk, and Chippewa settled throughout Wisconsin, often moving between summer villages near water and winter settlements deeper in the forests. They hunted, fished, and gathered wild rice, berries, and maple syrup. While the tribes faced loss of land and relocation over time, some still maintain reservations in Wisconsin today.

In Aboriginal mythology, the Dreamtime describes the creation of the world. When the eternal ancestors first awoke from beneath the earth, they wandered the land in animal and human forms, shaping the landscape. The beings Ungambikula found unfinished humans and carved them into their recognizable forms. Each person is connected to the totem of the animal or plant that composed their original shapeless bundle. The ancestors' journeys in the Dreamtime left sacred sites across the land before they returned to sleep underground or became rocks and trees. The Dreamtime exists both in the distant past and continues in the present.

The document discusses how echolocation and ultrasound are used by various animals and humans. It explains that bats, dolphins, and some insects use echolocation to locate objects by emitting sounds and interpreting the echoes. Applications of these principles by humans are also summarized, including using ultrasound for robotics, driverless cars that rely on sensors like radar and sonar, and assistive devices for the blind such as one that converts distance readings to pressure on the wrist. The story of Ben Underwood, who learned to use echolocation to navigate as a blind person, is also briefly described.
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 for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.

Creative projects are encouraged to earn extra points. The first meeting will involve choosing a name, assigning books, making a reading timeline, and brainstorming ways to remember details. Teachers are thanked for volunteering to read certain books to the groups.
The document discusses the academic honesty policy at The KAUST School. It defines plagiarism and the different types, including fraud, failure to cite sources, patchwriting, and collusion. The policy outlines three categories of violations with corresponding consequences. Category 1 includes minor offenses like copying homework or failing to properly cite sources, which results in a report to the principal. Category 2 violations like turning in plagiarized papers results in suspension. Category 3 covers extreme offenses like repeated cheating and can result in expulsion. The document provides tips for students to avoid plagiarism like being organized, citing sources properly, and asking teachers for help.
Extended essays require the use of scholarly articles, which are written by researchers or experts in their field. Scholarly articles are based on original research and experimentation, and build on previous ideas and discoveries by properly citing other research through references. Using scholarly sources is important for research papers because it allows students to contribute to the ongoing creation of new knowledge in a field by building upon and properly crediting previous work. The document provides information on finding scholarly articles through databases like EBSCO, Google Scholar, and a federated search of the KAUST University library, as well as open access journals. It encourages students to search these resources to find at least two scholarly articles to use in their own research.
The document provides information about the Extended Essay (EE) requirements for IB Diploma students. It outlines that the EE is an independent research paper between 3,500-4,000 words on a topic of the student's choice within their IB subjects. It discusses choosing a topic, developing a research question, completing drafts with advisor guidance, criteria for assessment, and important deadlines for the EE process.
This document discusses the challenges involved in cataloging maps for library collections. It notes that maps can present many problems that do not exist for books, such as unclear authorship, multiple titles, undated publications, and varying scales. It provides examples of issues like determining the main title and entry for maps from different time periods or corporate authors. The document emphasizes that understanding user needs and providing access to maps by location, subject, and other elements is important for cataloging these resources.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. As the sun began to sink lower and lower in the sky and cold winds began to blow, ancient
people wondered why different events occurred. Why were there seasons, how was the
earth created, and why were animals so many diverse shapes and sizes?
4. In the dark nights, they gathered around campfires to tell stories trying to explain these
natural occurrences. Their colorful stories became the wonderful, creative myths and legends
we hear today.
5. There is a Mythical & Mystical Sculpture At KAUST… it is called the 2 brothers.
6. Torres Strait
This sculpture is based on an ancient myth that comes from the Torres Strait region between
Australia and Papua New Guinea
8. Artist Dennis Nona
• Two Brothers was created by Dennis Nona,
one of the most famous artists from the Torres
Strait. He had an early education in wood-
carving which he transformed into a unique
artistic style of intricate lino cuts, etchings and
sculptures.
9. Torres Strait Islander people are described as having one foot on land and one in the sea.
Here is one of their hand carved boats
10. Canoes were very importance to the people of the Torres Strait. They were used for trading between the islands and trading
to the north with Papua New Guinea and to the South with Cape York on the Australian mainland. Canoes were essential for
hunting of dugong and turtle which were an important food source. They were also used in battle in the time when warriors
were revered and their courage measured by a count of the number of human skulls acquired.
11. Here is a Traditional canoe built to hold up to 5 people, but long distance canoes were huge
and could hold 50 people
12. Here is one of the spectacular war canoes of the Gogodala people in Indonesia.
13. Artist Dennis Nona tells ancient stories and myths of his people in one image. He uses
delicate clan patterning to indicate each story’s place of origin.
14. Like many Torres Strait Islanders Dennis Nona was taught to carve at an early age. Here is the
artist carving part of the sculpture 2 Brothers which is seen at KAUST.
17. Nagai or the soft wind that Dennis Nona has shown on the right hand of the canoe hull is a
totem of his family’s clan.
18. Dennis Nona developed “Two Brothers” based on a traditional legend from his home island of
Badu. The 7-metre-long cast bronze canoe is supported by 6 paddles, raising it 5 metres above
the ground.
19. The position of the two stars in the night sky is an indicator of weather conditions which
are of vital importance to these seafaring people. When the two stars are seen apart,
strong winds and rough conditions can be expected. When they are observed close
together, gentle winds and a calm sea will be experienced.
20. The patterning and position of two mother-of-pearl stars seen on the sides of the canoe’s hull reflect the strong
wind (Sagerr) and soft wind (Nagai). In the legend, these stars are actually 2 brothers who usually get along with
each other, like most brothers. When these stars are seen close together the two brother are friends, but when they
are seen far apart, the two brothers are fighting, causing bad weather and high seas.
21. There are myths and legends all around us…. Look for the ancient myths from your own
cultures! We are looking forward to see the creative videos that advisories are making and
prizes will be awarded to the 3 best in Middle School and in High School!

Dennis Nona: On the islands we have sharks, stingrays, turtles and dugongs. Some of these sea creatures are totems to the Torres Strait Islands. And it's a thing that we're proud of to show people that this is our totem and we decorate them very well in our artwork.
Like many Torres Strait Islanders Dennis Nona was taught to carve at an early age. Here is the artist carving part of the sculpture 2 Brothers which is seen at KAUST.
This patterning or mineral provides the artist with a way to convey the many parts of his culture and natural phenomena of his Island world. While appearing to be quite abstract they are in fact depicting things like the fierce currents that swirl around the islands and rip through the Strait from the Pacific to the Indian oceans. The winds, cloud formations, rain, tides, island flora and elements of sacred knowledge that is not explained or revealed to the uninitiated, are all seen in his work.
