The document discusses level design for a single player mod aimed at conveying a sense of a larger world to players in Fallout 4. The mod involves traveling through an abandoned facility that was used for dark experiments on human subjects. Players will explore the ruins 200 years later and confront remnants of the Brotherhood of Steel attempting to restore the experiments. The goal is for both the physical space and narrative history to appear to extend beyond what players can interact with directly. It provides research on world building, environmental storytelling, and narrative construction to achieve this illusion of larger worlds.

Capybaras live in large herds in South America. They inhabit grasslands and areas near bodies of water. As herbivores, they eat various plants and grasses. Capybaras are mostly active at night to avoid heat and predators like jaguars. They use water to cool off, hide from danger, and protect their young. Capybaras live in family groups that can include up to 100 individuals led by a single male. Females give birth in the dry season to litters of up to 6 young.
Animal report roman
Black rhinos live in the savannas and forests of South and East Africa. They eat leaves, twigs, branches, and will eat anything available to survive. Black rhinos are solitary except for mothers and calves. Mothers care for calves for 2-4 years before the calves leave. Females give birth every three years, and males leave before birth. Their horns can grow back if cut incorrectly.
Animal report morales
Penguins live in colonies along rocky coastlines and shorelines in the southern oceans, with some species like the Humboldt penguin living along the coasts of Peru and Chile. They hunt for prey like fish and squid in the ocean, which they catch using their pointy bills. On land, penguins live in large social groups, spend time caring for their single mate and offspring, and molt their feathers before growing new ones. It can take penguin chicks up to 5 years to reach adulthood, and the parents cooperatively care for their young.
Animal report montoya
Asian elephants live in wet, forested areas near the equator in Southern Asia. They survive in herds led by the oldest female, where mothers teach young calves how to use their trunks. Asian elephants eat over 700 pounds of leaves, grass, and other plants per day, and use their trunks, ears, and mud-rolling behaviors to stay cool and protect themselves and their families. Only around 3,500-5,000 Asian elephants remain in the wild.
Animal report mejia
Capybaras are large rodents found near bodies of water in South America, especially in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. They eat grasses and plants from the water, consuming around 6-8 pounds per day. Capybaras are social animals that live in family groups led by a male, and come together with other groups. They are herbivores that are active at night and use purring noises and hiding in water to communicate and stay safe.
Animal report leal
Capybaras live in South America's rainforests and grasslands, usually near bodies of water. As the largest rodents in the world, they eat 6-8 pounds of plants per day and live in herds of up to 100 individuals led by a male. Capybaras are active at night to avoid predators like foxes and jaguars, and use their habitat and herd structure to protect themselves and their young. They mate for life and communicate through sounds to warn of danger.
Animal report gutierrez
Orangutans live in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, where they nest high in the trees to avoid predators on the forest floor like tigers. They feed primarily on fruits found in the trees, but also eat insects, bark, and nuts. Females remain with their young for a long time, teaching them to find food, build nests, and survive on their own. However, orangutans are currently endangered due to habitat loss and poaching.
Animal report galvez

Food and water are essential for human survival. This document discusses interesting facts related to food and water, such as how long a person can survive without them. In just a few sentences, it introduces the topic of food and water facts that will be covered more in-depth inside.
What if
This document is a collection of quotes from various sources over a 150 year period expressing skepticism about students' dependence on and use of new educational technologies from slates and chalk, to paper, ink, pens, calculators, computers, the internet, and eventually mobile devices. Each expresses doubt that the new technology will last or that students will need or be allowed to use it, with many arguing the technology will hinder students' learning and abilities to function without it. The recurring theme is educators consistently expressing skepticism about new educational technologies throughout history that are now widely adopted.
Whycropped
Today's students are digital natives who are most comfortable learning through technology. While digital is now the primary language of choice, traditional teaching methods may not align with how this generation of "screen-agers" prefers to understand and learn. Schools should consider updating their approaches to education to better match the learning styles of students who have grown up with ubiquitous technology.
Why
Digital technology is now the primary language that today's students use to understand and learn about the world. As screen time has become the dominant activity for children and teens, schools must adapt to this new reality and incorporate more digital tools and resources into teaching methods. Educators need to meet students in the digital world they inhabit in order to effectively teach them in a way that matches how they naturally learn and communicate.
Ch03 AP Human
The document describes a first-hand account from 1994 where the author witnessed an overcrowded boat carrying around 70 Haitian migrants, most of whom were men with some women and children, fleeing the impoverished conditions in Haiti and risking their lives by jumping into the water prematurely to evade the approaching Coast Guard, with some likely drowning while others made it to shore. The Haitians were attempting to enter the US illegally by boat in search of better economic opportunities as their home country of Haiti was the most impoverished in the Western Hemisphere at that time.
Ch01 AP Human
Geographers are concerned with scale and connectedness for several reasons:
1) Phenomena at one scale are influenced by phenomena at other scales. The scale of study impacts the level of detail observed.
2) Processes operating at different scales influence one another. Jumping between scales is important.
3) Regions are defined by shared characteristics or interactions within spatial extents. Perceptual regions help understand phenomenon.
4) Culture and ideas diffuse between places, connecting them. Different diffusion patterns like expansion, hierarchy, and relocation influence how ideas spread.
Ch02 AP Human
The document discusses key concepts about population including:
1) Population density measures the total population relative to land size and assumes an even distribution.
2) Population is concentrated in areas with good agricultural land and infrastructure like along river valleys.
3) China and India currently make up 40% of the world's population and India is predicted to outpace China by the 2030s.
4) Population growth is determined by births and deaths, as well as immigration and emigration. Factors like improved healthcare have led to demographic transitions with lower birth rates in many countries.
Ap central objectives
The document outlines several objectives for an AP Central/College Board course, including examining the concepts of territoriality, political boundaries, and how boundaries influence identity, interaction, and exchange. It also aims to study the relationships between political patterns and patterns of ethnicity, economy, and environment as well as the concepts of nation-states, changing sovereignty and terrorism, fragmentation, and unification and alliance.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
