This document contains questions about seismic refraction and reflection techniques. A normal moveout correction is applied to common midpoint gathers before stacking. A synthetic seismogram is generated by convolving an acoustic impedance log with an input pulse. It provides a relationship between travel times and depth to interfaces. Seismic velocity generally increases with depth due to increasing bulk and shear modulus with depth.
This document contains a diagnostic test in Science with multiple choice questions about plate tectonics and plate boundaries. There are various questions testing understanding of the three main types of plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, and transform), where new oceanic lithosphere forms, areas of explosive volcanic activity, subduction zones, and features associated with different boundaries. The test aims to assess knowledge of plate tectonics concepts.
The document discusses the lithosphere and atmosphere. It covers topics like plate tectonics, continental drift, volcanoes, earthquakes, and the different layers of the Earth. Some key points include how sonar surveys of the ocean floor helped explain continental drift, how sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges, and that plate tectonics involves the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.
The document is a formative assessment for a 6th grade science class on the topic of changing Earth. It consists of 24 multiple choice questions testing students' understanding of the layers of the Earth, plate tectonics, earthquake waves, and more. Key concepts addressed include the order of Earth's layers from outer to inner, increasing heat and pressure toward the core, properties of the inner and outer core, plate boundaries and motions, Pangaea, and earthquake terminology.

An earthquake is caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The focus is the point of origin underground, while the epicenter is where it breaks the surface. Different types of seismic waves like P, S, and L waves propagate outward. Earthquakes can be classified by depth, cause, and location. Areas prone to quakes are along plate boundaries like the Circum-Pacific belt. Proper engineering can help make structures earthquake resistant.
Seismology is the study of earthquakes. Scientists who study earthquakes are called seismologists. There are three main types of faults: transform, convergent, and divergent. An instrument called a seismograph records seismic waves produced by earthquakes. The point directly above an earthquake's starting point is called the epicenter.

INTRODUCTION
This module examines plate tectonics. Topics include continental drift, tectonic landforms, plate boundaries, faults and hotspots. While these topics may appear to be disparate, you will learn how they are inherently related. The module starts with four opening topics, or vignettes, which are found in the accompanying Google Earth file. These vignettes introduce basic concepts of the internal structure of the Earth. Some of the vignettes have animations, videos, or short articles that will provide another perspective or visual explanation for the topic at hand. After reading the vignette and associated links, answer the following questions. Please note that some links might take a while to download based on your Internet speed.

2) The rate at which continents are currently being eroded by rivers and weathering is too fast if the continents are assumed to be billions of years old, as conventional geology proposes. The present rates of erosion suggest the continents could have been eroded away many times over.
3) Flat gaps known as paraconformities exist between sedimentary layers, with significant amounts of geologic time assumed to be
The document discusses dynamics of the Earth including evidence of crustal motions such as uplift and erosion that create mountains and sedimentary layers. It explains how marine fossils found in high elevations provide evidence of crustal movement over time. Earthquakes are described as being caused by the movement of tectonic plates and release of stress that builds in rocks, sending seismic waves that can be used to locate an earthquake's epicenter. The layers of the Earth are also outlined, with the crust varying in thickness and composition in different regions.
The document discusses tectonic plate processes and earthquakes. It describes how earthquakes occur at plate boundaries due to stresses from plate movements. Earthquakes at divergent boundaries pose little risk while those at convergent boundaries can be very hazardous, as seen in the 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed over 10,000 people. The document also discusses earthquake measurement scales, the different types of seismic waves, and secondary hazards like tsunamis, landslides and liquefaction that can amplify earthquake damage.

Young and the Restless
Week 11: Couples Therapy Movie Experience & Paper (28 points)
Couples Therapy Movie/TV Experience & Analysis Paper (Due week 11): 28 points
Couples Therapy Movies Experience & Analysis Paper based is based on the UCLA Marriage Enrichment Program & Happily Ever After The Movies & Relationship Study (A research study that is being conducted by Professor Ronald D. Rogge from the University of Rochester’s Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology) as well as the “PAIR Program” Promoting Awareness and Improving Relationships with Movies, my experience as a LMHC, LPC and LMFT Clinical Supervisor, Prepare/Enrich Certified Marital Counselor, Certified Supreme Court Mediator, and Certified Parent Coordinator.
http://www.courses.rochester.edu/surveys/funk/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
“A recent study at UCLA of Couples after the first 3 years of marriage (Roggie, et al., 2014) suggested that couples felt enriched by watching movies together and then “engaging in relationship focused” discussions after each movie. In these conversations the couple would discuss how their relationship was similar to different from the intimate relationship portrayed in each movie.’
This is a self-growth and Movie/TV analysis experience activity. Ideally doing this with a partner would be fun however not required. You can do this alone and base it on a relationship you had or one you hope to have or your family. It is not important to disclose if it is your relationship that you are using if you do not want to however be consistent with who you are using in your reflections.
The best approach to this assignment is to pick a show or a movie and watch it the beginning of the term and then at the end unless you choose a TV show to “binge” watch as part of this class or over the 3 months of class to immerse yourself into the show and couples you will be assessing and exploring in this project and take notes based on the assessment questions each time you watch the movie/show.
You will be looking at the following objectives for the couple:
• Explore strength and growth areas
• Strengthen communication skills
• Identify and manage major stressors
• Conflict resolution abilities
• Develop a more balanced relationship
• Explore family of origin issues
• Discuss financial planning and budgeting
• Establish personal, couple and family goals
• Understand and appreciate personality differences
Your Task (Cut and Paste these questions into a WORD document and create a template to use while watching movies/TV shows of your choice):
1) Pick 1 movie or “binge” watch a TV show (at least 4-6 episodes) related to Couples and Family.
2) Answer the following questions in a journal format or paper if you choose referencing the TV show/movies you watch, your text and other Couple and Family Therapy resources you use to support your thoughts/ideas.
1. What movie/TV shows did you watch? List.

You may have seen how financial news outlets provide real-time financial market reporting. They often produce stock-market news feeds for traders; these news feeds include a stock chart. The stock chart may include different filters that allow you to see how the stock is performing today or has performed over one or more years.
There are many factors that will influence pricing that can’t be controlled or predicted accurately. The approaches used to value stocks (determine what the stock is truly worth) are usually theoretical. You should consider what drives stock prices and why.

Discuss how the stock for your company is trending. Explain why the stock is in either an uptrend or downtrend.
Tesla's stock has a positive trend over the past year. The stock has ranged from a low of $187.06 a year ago to a high of $883.09 on January 26, 2021 (Yahoo, 2021a). Tesla's shares have skyrocketed more than 20,000% since it went public in 2010, with its price rising more than 700% over the last year (Levin, 2021). This growth has made Tesla the most valuable car company in the world. There are many reasons for this epic growth. After years of not turning a profit for years, Tesla has finally shown a profit for the last 6 quarters. Tesla also beat estimates by producing more than 500,000 vehicles and selling its fifth vehicle, Modle Y, ahead of schedule (Levin, 2021). In addition, Tesla was added to the S&P 500 on November 16th, 2020, which helped the share price spike. These are the main drivers of the success of Teslas stock over the past 12 months. Another positive trend that has factored into the growth of Tesla's stock is the growing demand for EV stocks in general. Tightening emission regulations and the government's continued push towards renewable energy have also help Tesla's shares rise.
Discuss some of the factors, including environmental, sustainable, and governance (ESG) factors, that you believe have impacted the stock p.

The class of 20 students is divided into two teams, having 10 students in each team. The teacher makes two columns on the board for team A and team B. Teacher points out, Yesterday in our history class we studied about the civil rights movement I hope you have well-prepared that topic. Let’s start an informal quiz based on yesterday’s topic. Are you guys ready? Students say, “Yes”! Teacher starts asking questions. Team A! Which sports Jackie Robinson played? Students raised their hands. Robert? Can you give the answer? Robert says soccer. Teacher appreciating Robert’s effort says very good Robert and write 10 under the column of Team A. Next question for Team B, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went to the college to become? Students raise their hands. James, can you answer? James says, “Minister”. Teacher appreciates the attempt but the answer is not correct. Ok! Now, what you guys think what was the main contribution of Abraham Lincoln?Timothy raised his hand and replied, he brought freedom and abolish slavery. Rosie raised her hand and replied, he ran the country being a president of the country. Teacher says, when we freedom was attained by the African American it was not solely due to Abraham Lincoln. Who played the actual role? Joseph replies, African Americans themselves. Teacher appreciated Joseph’s answer saying absolutely right. No leader can bring freedom from slavery or racism until its people are themselves not ready to put their efforts. Nation needs to be united to get rid of inequality.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
