The document discusses strategies for teaching diverse students effectively. It emphasizes the importance of thinking and developing students' thinking abilities. Some frameworks discussed for lesson planning include universal design for learning, backwards design, and assessment for learning. Specific examples are provided for how to teach vocabulary and help students make inferences about pictures. The goal is to engage students, provide multiple means for representation and expression, and focus on developing understanding.
The periodic table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number and groups elements with similar chemical properties together. Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, giving them similar chemical properties. Atoms are made up of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in energy levels outside the nucleus. Atoms are neutral when they have an equal number of protons and electrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, giving them different atomic masses. An element's relative atomic mass takes into account the abundance of each isotope.

This workshop aims to explain and demonstrate flipped learning through examples. Flipped instruction involves students learning curriculum at home through online resources like videos and websites, while teachers use class time for group work and individual instruction. When implementing flipped learning, teachers must consider whether students and teachers are ready, technology is available, and adequate support systems are in place. While the idea of flipped learning is not new, modern technologies like the Internet, Web 2.0 sites, and online videos have enabled new forms of flipped instruction.
The document provides 10 fast tips that executives can use to improve presentations and speeches, such as doing preparation work, being authentic, using microphones, employing risers or stages, avoiding jokes, keeping some details from audiences, assuming visual aids are illegible from a distance, using slides cautiously, watching timing, and working with a speech coach. The tips are from Marian Madonia and focus on practical strategies for effective public speaking.
Building Distributed Systems in Scala with OpenSplice DDSAngelo Corsaro
Scala (pronounced Skah-lah) is a scalable programming language targeting the JVM and the .NET platforms that is quickly gaining acceptance in a number of different domains and application areas ranging from trading to web programming. OpenSplice DDS is a high performance data distribution technology powering some of todays most challenging distributed systems in sectors including transportation, defense and finance. Scala and OpenSplice DDS share the same objective, namely simplifying the construction of complex systems, as a result their combination results in a very powerful platform for developing distributed systems. This Webcast will introduce you to Scala and OpenSplice DDS, and will take you through a series of examples showing how Scala can be used in combination with OpenSplice DDS to build distributed systems.
As a co-founder and CMO of Classmunity, a fundraising management system for K-12 schools, I am frequently getting asked for some basic insights into crowdfunding. I recently whipped together a presentation for Classmunity and had some intro slides on crowdfunding. Hope this helps you out.
The document discusses the history of media from pamphleteering to modern newspapers and the rise of citizen journalism on the internet. It covers key developments like the first US newspaper in 1690, Thomas Paine's pamphlets promoting independence and the French Revolution. The industrialization of printing in the 1800s expanded newspapers' reach. In the internet era, blogs, social media and mobile phones have enabled ordinary people to participate in media, as seen in alternative sites like Ohmynews and social media's role in events like Iran's 2009 election protests. However, issues around misinformation, echo chambers and financial sustainability remain challenges for both traditional and new forms of journalism.
The document lists important upcoming dates for assignments and tests in an art class, including a wiki due on January 23rd, another wiki starting on January 26th, and DORA testing on January 28th and 29th. It also lists some frequently used websites for the class, such as Voki.com, Slideshare.net, Google.com, Imagechef.com and Colourlovers.com.

A new product offering combining marketing and sales data with social media marketing to bring the magic of marketing together with the science of sales
The document discusses materials used for competitive swimwear, focusing on elastane and nylon. It describes the properties of elastane/spandex and how its molecular structure allows for stretch and recovery. Nylon is discussed as a material often combined with elastane for strength, durability and quick drying. The document provides details on how nylon and elastane fibers are produced and how their properties make them suitable for swimsuits.
The document describes building a regression model to forecast the BSE Sensex stock index of India using 12 predictor variables related to global market indices, economic indicators, and commodity prices. The initial full model had issues like multicollinearity and overfitting. These were addressed by creating principal components from correlated variables and selecting the best predictors. The final model used the square root of Sensex as the response and achieved better predictions using two principal components related to global queues and finance/commodities.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un paquete de sanciones contra Rusia por su invasión de Ucrania. Las sanciones incluyen restricciones a las importaciones de productos rusos de alta tecnología y a las exportaciones de bienes de lujo a Rusia. Además, se congelarán los activos de varios oligarcas rusos y se prohibirá el acceso de los bancos rusos a los mercados financieros de la UE.
The document discusses EU policy approaches to tackling environmental health risks. It describes a hazard-oriented approach that focuses on standard-setting for chemicals, safety and pollution, and an effect-oriented health in all policies approach. It also discusses using indicators to evaluate policies and their impacts on public health, the environment and costs. New developments include putting integrated assessments into practice and dealing with uncertainties in risk perceptions.
This document provides an overview and fact-finding questions for designing selective nonqualified benefit plans for key management. It discusses that successful fact-finding is important to determine the employer's goals and objectives to design an appropriate nonqualified plan. The fact-finder questions aim to understand plan design questions and structure a nonqualified plan based on the employer's goals. It also provides observations about important considerations for different question topics, such as plan participant eligibility, current plans, and new plan design information. The document is intended to help narrow down nonqualified plan choices and align the plan advantages with the employer's goals.
- Adolor was awaiting approval of its lead compound Entereg and looking to develop a new compound called Delta which would be costly. It entered a collaboration deal with Pfizer to share these development costs and risks.
- Under the terms of the 2007 deal, Pfizer paid Adolor $30 million upfront and agreed to fund 60% of US development costs for Delta in exchange for 60% of US profits. Adolor retained rights to royalties on sales in rest of world.
- The deal structure was similar to other recent deals in the pain drug space, including an upfront payment, development and regulatory milestones, and a profit share arrangement in major markets.
The document lists various marketing and promotional materials created for the Nashville Sounds and Lancaster JetHawks minor league baseball teams in 2010 and 2012, including a magnet schedule giveaway, direct mail piece, magazine advertisement, t-shirt and jersey giveaway designs, suite ticket books, a social media campaign, website advertisements, a media wall, and email signatures.
