Stars are formed from dust and gas drawn together by gravity. As a protostar, increasing heat from compression leads to hydrogen fusion, forming a main sequence star. Over time, a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core and swells into a red giant. From there, a dying star will either cool into a white and then black dwarf, or for larger stars, explode as a supernova, throwing material containing heavier elements formed during its life into space. What remains is either a neutron star or, for the largest stars, a black hole.

A seasonal wildfire in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta on August 21, 2003 grew into a large forest fire that burned over 20,000 hectares of forest, throwing off energy equivalent to an atomic explosion every 30 minutes. A resident, Elaine Hruby, recounts being evacuated from her home by authorities and watching the approaching flames from 20 km away, unable to look away. The fire had both negative impacts, such as affecting the local tourism industry, and positive impacts, including businesses maintaining steady customers and creating ecological diversity in the burned areas.
The majority of graduates from the MSEd InfoTech program responded to a survey, with most living within an hour of campus but taking fewer than 5 courses on campus. Most graduates are currently teachers at various levels, with some being instructional designers or other positions. Nearly half reported a salary increase due to the degree, and 45% said it very significantly changed their core teaching practices. All respondents rated their program experience as good or excellent and said they would recommend it.

Introducing Drupal: The open source content management and web application fr...Anthony Ogbonna
Drupal is an open source content management platform and web application framework that powers millions of websites. It allows users to organize, edit, and publish content from a central interface. Drupal is highly flexible and can be used to build many types of websites and applications. It has a large community of users and is used by many large organizations like the White House, Harvard, and Greenpeace. The presentation provides an overview of what Drupal is, how to use it, examples of companies that use it, and its future potential as a platform for new types of online experiences and integration of third party applications.
This document discusses two ideas for using technology in the ESOL classroom: 1) Scaffolding instruction with technology and 2) Providing authentic learning experiences for students. It provides examples of using tools like Creative Commons licensed images, voicethread, and vodcasts to enhance speaking, writing, and collaboration skills. Teachers are encouraged to consider how multimedia and electronic alternatives can help English language learners access and understand content. The goal is to make activities feel authentic by mirroring real-world tasks.
Digital storytelling involves using technology tools like images, audio, and video to tell stories. It can be used in ESOL classrooms to help students practice language skills like speaking, reading, and writing in an authentic way. Digital storytelling addresses many educational standards and allows students to be creative while learning real-world digital communication skills. Teachers are provided suggestions for how to guide students through the process of developing digital stories and choosing appropriate tools. Potential barriers to using digital storytelling in classrooms are also discussed.
Lorna Gibbons - Developing a Common Approach to Local Economic Assessments Up...South West Observatory
The document discusses the development of a common approach to local economic assessments (LEAs) in the UK. It provides an update on a questionnaire sent to local authorities to understand current capacity and practices regarding LEAs. The responses highlighted concerns about resources, skills, data availability, and timelines for completing the assessments. Actions proposed include developing a shared website for best practices, coordination across regions, and initial planning steps taken by various local authorities and groups.
The major findings from the 2013 Social Media Higher Education Survey jointly conducted by Pearson Learning Solutions & The Babson Survey Research Group.
Vesicles are membrane-enclosed structures that form inside cells during endocytosis, which is the process where the plasma membrane forms inward pouches to internalize extracellular material. Vesicles serve to transport materials within the cell, such as carrying raw materials processed by the Golgi complex to their final destinations for secretion or transport. The Golgi complex processes raw materials into finished products and sorts and directs where the finished products will go inside the cell.
The document traces the history of chocolate from its origins in Central and South America around 1500 BC when it was first cultivated by the Olmecs, through its use by Mayans and Aztecs in religious rituals and as medicine. It was introduced to Europe in the early 1500s after the Spanish conquest and spread throughout Europe in the 1600s and 1700s. Key developments in chocolate production occurred in the 1800s and early 1900s with the cocoa press, mass production in England and Switzerland, and the move of cocoa bean production to West Africa. The document concludes with notes on the health aspects and enjoyment of chocolate today.
The Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) provides an assessment of how well local public services are serving communities in three sentences or less:
It evaluates outcomes for local residents by assessing how public services work together to address local priorities, the prospects for improvement, and sustainability, with a focus on the most vulnerable groups. CAA ratings from green to red will indicate levels of improvement and performance. The assessment considers various evidence sources and is a joint effort of inspectorates to provide transparent public reporting on local service delivery.
How have recent technological developments changed filmmaking?LeiAnne
Recent technological developments have significantly changed filmmaking by making the entire process more accessible, affordable, and distributed. Cheap digital cameras, mobile phones, YouTube, and HD cameras have allowed amateur filmmakers to independently create high quality films and distribute them to global audiences quickly and inexpensively. This has led to a democratization of filmmaking as more people are able to make and share their own films.
This document provides guidance for students on creating and delivering an oral presentation. It outlines the following steps:
1) Choose a topic within your area of expertise and discuss it with your teacher.
2) Compile your ideas by listing thoughts on the topic and choosing the most interesting and important to structure into 4 or more subheadings.
3) Structure your ideas and choose oral language techniques to coherently develop, sustain and integrate your ideas when delivering the presentation. Consider the audience's prior knowledge and how to build on it.
Students are assessed based on how effectively they develop and link ideas in their structured presentation and employ oral language features in its delivery.
The document discusses design elements for a music magazine cover, including inspiration, features, and layout. Key points mentioned include using a sophisticated photo as the main feature, reinventing skylines, considering different masthead designs, using ads and posters to fill space, and portraying genres in non-stereotypical images to make the magazine unique. Color schemes, main coverlines, and the clothes and accessories of artists are also discussed in terms of representing the magazine's style.
The document summarizes three important dates in Mexican history: September 13th commemorates "Día de los niños Héroes" and the Battle of Chapultepec where six young soldiers died defending Castillo de Chapultepec from the United States; September 16th marks "Día de la Independencia" and the start of Mexico's war for independence led by Father Miguel Hidalgo in 1810; November 20th is "Revolución Mexicana" day which began the revolution against President Porfirio Díaz who had been in power for over 30 years.
The mobile phone market has experienced significant growth over the past 15 years. In 2001, service revenues exceeded infrastructure costs for mobile networks, and by 2002 service revenues covered 85% of infrastructure costs. This growth was enabled by factors like cell phone towers achieving near complete coverage by 2001 and investments in more efficient network equipment. International growth has also been substantial, with U.S. subscribers growing from 123,000 in 1990 to 45 million in 2005, and Asian subscribers growing even faster from 45,000 to 215 million over the same period. Market analysts predict the growth factors will maintain 10% annual subscriber growth for the next five years.
Life is a journey filled with challenges rather than a destination. While people often believe happiness will come with achieving certain goals like finding a partner, having children, or acquiring possessions, there is no better time to be happy than the present. Real life and happiness are about navigating obstacles each day and cherishing the friends and mentors who provide meaningful support along the way rather than focusing on wealth, awards or fame.
