Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where the Celts believed the ghosts of the dead returned to earth on October 31st. People wore costumes to disguise themselves from these spirits. As Christianity spread, the holiday was transformed into All Saints' Day. The traditions of dressing in costumes and visiting homes for food or money evolved into modern-day trick-or-treating. The jack-o-lantern tradition originated from Irish immigrants carving turnips and brought the celebration to America. Today, Halloween is celebrated with costumes, parties, trick-or-treating, and eating candy.
This document summarizes a robotics program being introduced at Gates Intermediate School. It discusses how the program will help students develop 21st century skills like digital literacy, inventive thinking, effective communication, and high productivity. It provides details on the robotics lab that will be set up, the technology and engineering curriculum that will be taught as a 7th grade special, and extracurricular activities like a robotics club and participation in a First Lego League competition. It includes photos of past First Lego League competitions and provides a proposed budget of $10,040 for equipment and expenses for the new program.
This photo album documents various features of St. George's Church in Brailes, including the chancel, east and west windows, a wheel chair and bier used at funerals, carvings made by church members, an altar cloth that took one lady 12 months to make, and a 250,000 matchstick model. The album provides photographs and descriptions of the interior and artifacts of the church.

This document outlines the activities for a SEACAMP trip to Creighton Middle School in 2007, which included lessons on wetsuits and boats, a squid dissection lab, making squid ink tattoos, a boat trip to the Coronado Islands for snorkeling, and trying to catch some waves.
Antzinako Egiptoko kulturetaz aritzen garenean normalean lau edo bost hitzetara mugatzen gara : Piramideak, momiak, hieroglifikoak, faraoiak eta Nilo ibaia... Ia beti egiptoar herritarrak ahazten. (Euskara)
This document summarizes the key findings from Chapter 5 of an evaluation report. It finds that:
1) Rural electrification lowers the price of operating lighting and TVs and increases their usage. Willingness to pay for electricity exceeds average supply costs.
2) Rural electrification has quantifiable and significant impacts on indoor air quality, health outcomes, knowledge acquisition, and fertility reduction. It also has some long-term impacts on home businesses.
3) Off-grid electrification solutions have demonstrable environmental benefits, though off-grid investments typically have a lower rate of return than grid extension due to higher costs and lower benefits.
