Energy can be produced through alternative means like wind power, solar power, and battery power. Wind power generates electricity through wind turbines that use wind to spin magnets. Solar power converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels or heats water. Battery power stores energy chemically in batteries. These alternative energies have benefits like being renewable and causing no pollution, but also have drawbacks like being expensive, providing inconsistent power, and requiring storage solutions.
This document discusses developing a brand identity for Last Forest Enterprises, which markets products from indigenous communities in the Nilgiri forests.
[1] The identity needs to reflect preserving indigenous cultures through forest product sales and appeal to urban audiences while representing traditional, natural qualities.
[2] It also must function as a marketable brand identity representing all communities under the Keystone foundation.
[3] Three logo options are presented that aim to convey conservation and sustainable livelihoods positively rather than the negative message of forest extinction implied by the "Last Forest" name.
El documento discute la naturaleza y desarrollo del conocimiento científico. Explica que la ciencia moderna se basa en la observación instrumental y la comprobación de predicciones, en contraste con la ciencia natural original que solo consideraba observaciones. También analiza las ideas de Martin Heidegger sobre cómo la ciencia y la técnica modernas tienden a manipular y distorsionar la naturaleza.
The document discusses the work of the Accountability and Assessment LAB to develop an analytical framework to help school districts monitor academic performance. The LAB aims to identify underperformance by creating profiles of each school that show patterns of performance from elementary to middle to high school. This helps districts pinpoint where gaps occur between schools. The LAB is refining these profiles and helping districts establish monitoring systems to continually track performance.
The document discusses various topics related to civic engagement, education, and the arts in Kentucky. It mentions that civic participation in the US is learned through actual participation in civic organizations. It also discusses that definitions of literacy and text have expanded over time. Several issues in Kentucky education are mentioned, including a perceived lack of basic skills and decreased parental involvement. The document outlines a project to promote civic engagement among early adolescents through writing, new media, and the arts.
This document discusses digital game-based learning opportunities through the P-20 Innovation Lab at the University of Kentucky. It provides an overview of principles of game-based learning, including how play leads to engagement, how games involve problem-based learning through goals and feedback, and how games provide situated learning through authentic contexts. It also outlines current and upcoming work with teachers and students to integrate digital games and learning, including a summer teacher academy, a game design program for elementary students, and a new graduate course on digital game-based learning.

The director shares that Dr. Bessie House-Soremekun has stepped down as director of Africana Studies to focus on research. Cassandra Williams is the new interim director. Africana Studies continues its focus on bringing innovative research to the classroom and connecting faculty and students to important work in the community through a new speaker series. The program also recognizes outstanding student scholarship award winners and holds events like a symposium on Madam C.J. Walker and a film series on topics like race and hip hop culture.
The document describes explorations for branding a company called Nilgiris focused on forests. It details several hand-drawn concepts representing the brand name through depictions of forests and trees:
1) Using acrylics, watercolors and cinnamon sticks to represent forests and convey the idea of declining forest life.
2) Involving people to paint hands and make marks around a tree cutout to represent the forest and people behind the brand.
3) Drawing branches from a tree to show the natural quality of products and background of the brand.
4) Creating variations of the logo using forest colors in an abstract watercolor style.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The Education Policy and Law Lab at the University of Kentucky brings together scholars, practitioners, and community stakeholders to identify and address critical education policy issues in Kentucky. The Lab provides research and policy recommendations to improve education in public schools and higher education. An advisory council guides the Lab's work and is composed of members from across the P-20 education community. Upcoming projects will examine issues like charter schools, teacher compensation, and dual enrollment programs.

Starting Bicycle and Pedestrian Counting ProgramsSharon Roerty
The document discusses starting a regional bicycle and pedestrian counting program in the San Francisco Bay Area. It describes past counting efforts, how the counts will be used, challenges with a volunteer program, benefits of consultant assistance, methodology plans using a national project standard, and next steps to compile counts from multiple agencies and develop adjustment factors.
Climate Change: Getting Bicycling, Wallking and SR2S into PlansSharon Roerty
This document discusses plans by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to promote bicycling, walking, and safe routes to school in the San Francisco Bay Area region. The MTC aims to reduce congestion, emissions, and vehicle miles traveled while improving affordability and sustainability. Key strategies include investing over $3 billion in bicycle, pedestrian, and transit programs and developing a Sustainable Communities Strategy to link land use and transportation policies to meet state-mandated greenhouse gas reduction targets.
The document discusses bringing Safe Routes to School programs to low-income communities in Michigan through partnerships. It outlines the types of partners involved, including parents, teachers, universities, and government agencies. The partnerships face challenges with issues like trust, funding, and sustainability. However, the partnerships also provide wins like increasing safety, building relationships, and serving local communities. Lessons learned include describing programs simply, understanding community history, addressing financial challenges, and providing ongoing support for implementation.
Session #71 - UC Berkeley Ped & Bike Class - Schneider & CarltonSharon Roerty
The document summarizes the history and structure of a Pedestrian & Bicycle Transportation course at UC Berkeley. It began in the 1990s but was not taught for 5 years until students organized to have it offered again in 2007. It is run as a student-taught course with support from a faculty sponsor. The course aims to educate future professionals on best practices, critical thinking, and credibility in the field. Typical classes involve a topic presentation, readings discussion, and guest speakers from agencies and organizations. Student projects have analyzed safety and designs. Feedback indicates the course provides valuable real-world learning but challenges include balancing topics and scheduling with students' busy schedules.
