The Japan tsunami of March 2011 caused widespread damage in Japan and was one of the most significant events of that year. The tsunami, triggered by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, devastated coastal communities in Japan. International relief organizations like UNICEF, World Vision, and the Salvation Army provided support to affected families and raised money for those who lost their homes and belongings or were grieving loved ones. Today, many survivors continue to struggle with the impact of the disaster as they remain displaced and deal with ongoing hardships like homelessness, loss, illness, and emotional distress.

France by Lucie, Diaz and Xhana
France is located in Western Europe, bordered by several countries. The French generally eat a balanced diet slowly, preferring breads, pastries and coffee for breakfast and special lunch menus between noon and 2 PM. Dinner usually begins at 8 PM. The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World's Fair commemorating the French Revolution, to improve Paris and showcase French engineering achievements. French fashion trends originate from iconic brands based in Paris and lesser known designers that make the city one of the most creative for fashion.
Earthquakes - Lucie C.
An earthquake is caused by sudden movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. The New Zealand shakeout drill helps prepare people and organizations for major earthquakes by practicing safety procedures. One family, the McKennas, was affected when the father Owen was killed during the Christchurch earthquake while grocery shopping - he was crushed by a falling concrete wall. Safety advice for earthquakes includes dropping to the ground, taking cover under sturdy furniture, and holding on during the shaking.
Natural Disasters by Emma
The document summarizes the top 5 natural disasters that occurred in 2011, with a focus on the earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan in March. It describes how organizations like the Red Cross, UNICEF, and World Vision provided aid by organizing shelters, medical assistance, supplies, and rebuilding efforts. The summary concludes that Japan continues to struggle with rebuilding years later, with thousands still unable to return home and over 84,000 relying on support from friends and family.
TheSolution:What We Can Do to Help Japan
An earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 caused widespread destruction across northeastern Japan and a nuclear disaster. The document recommends donating to relief organizations like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, or Americares to help those affected, as they are providing essential services and 100% of donations go directly to relief efforts. Donating money, clothes, or time can make a meaningful impact for those still recovering from the tragedy.

Aryaman verma japan presentation
The document discusses a geography project by Aryaman Verma about the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan. It notes that Japan experiences around 1,500 earthquakes each year due to its location between four tectonic plates. In March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan's main island, triggering a powerful tsunami. The twin disasters killed over 12,000 people and left many homeless or without family. Japan continues to recover from the crisis.

Secondary 2 History-Life of The Singaporeans During the Japanese Occupation
During the Japanese occupation of Singapore:
Socially, the Japanese imposed their culture through practices like mass drills and making Japanese the primary language in schools and media. They also expanded propaganda to increase loyalty to Japan.
Economically, the disruption of Singapore's entreport trade caused widespread food shortages under rationing. Black markets emerged selling goods at high prices. The Japanese devalued local currency.
Politically, the Japanese military police enforced order through fear and torture. The Sook Ching massacre targeted thousands of ethnic Chinese. Resistance groups like the Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army and Force 136 carried out guerilla attacks and spy operations against the Japanese.
Hanshin Project
The document discusses the 1995 Hanshin earthquake in Kobe, Japan. It killed over 6,000 people and injured over 43,000, forcing 320,000 people into temporary shelters. The earthquake registered as a magnitude 7.5 and highlighted issues with Japan's earthquake preparedness, as tunnels collapsed and the rescue response was hampered by a lack of systems. However, it also increased attention to earthquake science and making buildings and infrastructure more earthquake resistant.

Emancipation
This document discusses cause and effect relationships. It provides examples of how one cause can lead to multiple effects, and one effect can have multiple causes. It also discusses how tigers becoming endangered is the effect of illegal hunting and loss of habitat, which are the causes. To prevent tigers from going extinct, governments need to protect tiger habitats and impose stricter penalties for hunting. The document also provides a short passage and question about Maya practicing the violin that establishes her increased practice led to improved confidence, which was the cause of her being more relaxed at her audition.

The peoples unity - The Phillipines Earthquake in 2013
A super typhoon hit the Philippines in November 2013, killing over 6,000 people. The author, who has family in the Philippines, was surprised that many countries beyond just Canada and the U.S. provided aid, including Australia, Bangladesh, Ireland, Italy and others. This level of international cooperation showed the "People's Unity" as big countries helped the small Asian nation of the Philippines. The author believes this display of unity between peoples will allow the Philippines to prosper going forward.
Earthquakes slideshow
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of built-up energy along fault lines in the earth's crust. Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and fault lines, especially around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Earthquakes can cause tremendous damage through ground shaking and secondary effects like tsunamis. Recent major quakes in Nepal and Japan killed over 9,000 and led to widespread destruction. While earthquakes can't be prevented, communities can take steps to minimize damage by strengthening buildings and infrastructure and preparing emergency plans.
Voices from Japan-Abby
Mercy Corps started in 1979 as a relief fund called "Save the Refugees Fund" that raised $1 million for Cambodian refugees fleeing the Khmer Rouge regime. In 1982, the founders established Mercy Corps as a long-term organization to address hunger and poverty in over 100 countries. When an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan in 2011, Mercy Corps and Peace Winds responded within 3 days, providing food, shelter, bathing facilities, and supplies to over 42,000 people affected by the disaster.
Earthquake powerpoint
An earthquake occurs when two blocks of the earth's crust slip past one another, causing the ground to shake. Most earthquakes happen along the edges of tectonic plates that slowly move and bump against each other deep underground. Earthquakes can cause massive damage and loss of life, such as the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake in China that killed over 800,000 people. Modern solutions aim to better predict, withstand, and prepare for earthquakes to minimize harm.
Hanshin Project
The document discusses the 1995 Hanshin earthquake that struck the Kobe area of Japan. It killed over 6,000 people and injured over 43,000 others, displacing 330,000 into temporary shelters. The earthquake measured 7.5 on the Richter scale and highlighted issues with Japan's earthquake preparedness and response, such as the lack of early warning systems and damage to tunnels. It led Japan to improve earthquake science, building codes, and transportation infrastructure resilience.
Joseph Kony and the LRA
This week our students have had the opportunity to be part of real-time current events. With the media circus buzzing around Kony2012, Invisible Children, and the LRA – I created a (fairly) student-friendly powerpoint that objectively explains the background of Kony and the LRA. I am not getting into the hype surrounding supporters and opponents of Invisible Children, but have included them as well as other organizations at the end of the presentation to give students options regarding how to get involved.
No matter what people feel about Invisible Children, it’s obvious that they have created a successful awareness raising campaign. My students have had a lot of questions about the whole situation, so I created this powerpoint that I am now sharing with you.

Japan is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands located in a seismically and volcanically active region. It has a varied climate and terrain, with dense urban areas and terraced farmland. Japan has a long history and cultural traditions but modernized rapidly after opening to Western trade and industrializing in the late 19th century. It grew into an economic powerhouse after World War 2. Korea was occupied by the Soviet Union and United States after WWII and divided into the communist North and democratic South, which fought in the Korean War and remain separated today by the demilitarized zone.
Orville and Wilbur Wright by Diaz
The Wright Brothers - Orville and Wilbur Wright - were the first to achieve sustained, powered and controlled flight, making a flight lasting over an hour on December 17, 1903 in Dayton, Ohio. They invented a system of wing-warping for "three axis control" that allowed the pilot to steer the aircraft using a control system. After being accused of lying by the French press in 1906, the Wright Brothers proved their critics wrong by flying their aircraft in France, gaining an apology in the newspaper.
Julia homework on Neil Armstrong
Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. He helped discover that the moon was made up of similar elements to Earth by collecting rocks and conducting scientific experiments. Armstrong influenced space exploration by showing that achieving difficult goals through hard work is possible. He faced challenges during the moon landing like a lack of oxygen and finding a safe place to land, but modern astronauts have overcome issues like these to enable long-term space survival.

Galileo galilei by Lara
Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, mathematician and philosopher born in 1564 who made several important scientific discoveries and inventions. Using his newly developed telescope, Galileo observed Jupiter's moons orbiting Jupiter rather than the Earth, providing evidence against the geocentric model of the universe. This contradicted the beliefs of the Catholic Church, leading to Galileo being tried for heresy in 1633 and spending the rest of his life under house arrest.
Galileo galilei by Emma
Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer born in Pisa who invented an early telescope that allowed him to discover four moons orbiting Jupiter and craters on the moon. He faced challenges with others not believing his findings, resulting in him spending the rest of his life under house arrest. Modern astronomers continue to face challenges such as searching for life in the universe, investigating theories like the Big Bang and black holes, and obtaining sufficient funding to conduct research.
Homework task
This homework assignment asks students to research and summarize the contributions of an influential scientist, astronomer, or philosopher. They must include biographical details and pictures, discuss the impact of the individual's work, and answer questions about the challenges they faced and if similar challenges still exist today for present-day astronomers. Students can complete the assignment through a written report, poster, online media, or presentation.
Earthquakes - Lara
An earthquake occurs when tectonic plates rub together, causing the ground to open up and shake violently. New Zealand holds earthquake drills called "shake outs" so residents know how to respond when an earthquake strikes - they should drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on. The drills help prepare people to stay safe whether they experience an earthquake at home, work, or school.
Earthquakes - Alex H
Earthquakes can occur suddenly and without warning. If an earthquake strikes, immediately drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy object like a table, and hold on until the shaking stops to protect yourself from falling debris. Your safety should be the top priority during an earthquake by following basic safety precautions.
Earthquakes - Diaz
The document discusses an upcoming earthquake drill called "Shakeout" scheduled for September 26th at 9:26am to educate people on how to survive earthquakes. It describes one victim, Brian Coker, who was trapped for hours under rubble from the collapsed Pyne Gould building in Christchurch during an earthquake, and how he was rescued by emergency responders cutting off his legs with makeshift tools. The drill aims to better prepare organizations and individuals for earthquake events.

Yellow eyed penguin by Lucy
Owners allowing dogs to run loose on beaches and throwing garbage in the sea can harm yellow-eyed penguins. Several types of penguins come ashore at certain times of year to rest or molt, making them vulnerable to dogs that may attack them due to their fishy smell, sometimes fatally in one bite. Keeping dogs leashed and disposing of trash properly can help protect these penguins and their habitat.

The tuatara is a reptile found in New Zealand that lives in coastal bush areas with few predators like rats and cats. Their habitat requires native bush and seabird burrows. Humans threaten tuataras by littering, which attracts rats, and by starting fires that can burn the native bush. The main threats to tuataras are introduced predators like rats, cats, and birds. People can help the tuatara by trapping rats and cats humanely and educating others to properly dispose of rubbish and extinguish fires to protect the tuatara's habitat.
Tuatara by Lara
The tuatara is a rare endangered lizard found in the sand dunes, caves, and native bush on New Zealand. Its habitat can be affected by environmental changes like pollution and human impacts such as cutting down native bush, which would leave tuataras without shelter or a place to hide and could cause them to go extinct. Tuataras have enemies including cats, dogs, rats, and humans, as these can kill baby tuataras, eat their eggs, or destroy their habitat. We can show care for tuataras and prevent their extinction by not cutting down as much native bush and protecting their habitat.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
