Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game where participants use GPS coordinates to find hidden containers called geocaches. To play, one registers for a free account on Geocaching.com, chooses a cache to find using its coordinates, then uses a GPS-enabled device to locate the cache, sign the log inside, and replace the cache where it was found. The only equipment needed is a GPS device like a smartphone and pen. Geocaches can be found all over the world and in various terrains, from woods to cities. Proper geocaching etiquette involves safety, putting caches back intact, and leaving no trace of one's visit.

This document describes the orthodontic treatment of a 31-year-old female patient with a gummy smile. To correct the gummy smile, the orthodontist intruded the entire maxillary dentition rather than just the anterior teeth. A midpalatal absolute anchorage system and modified lingual arch were used to achieve posterosuperior movement of the maxillary dentition over 18 months. This corrected the gummy smile and crowding. Follow-up after 21 months showed the results were stable despite the patient not wearing a maxillary retainer as prescribed.

The document discusses the role and purpose of education and how school libraries and librarians can contribute. It outlines that education has shifted from social control to emancipation. A Freirean approach focuses on starting with the learner through dialogue and praxis to nurture students. In a postmodern context, the librarian must adapt by making the library a more creative and contextual space that celebrates students' experiences and questions traditional concepts. The goal is to establish libraries as places that cultivate pleasure in reading and learning.
