Reactive power is necessary to support voltage in AC electrical systems but does no useful work. It is caused by devices with inductive or capacitive properties and can lead to higher electricity costs if not properly managed. Insufficient reactive power can also cause blackouts by leading to voltage collapses. While residential customers are typically not charged for reactive power directly, correcting poor power factor through devices can lower electricity bills by reducing losses from unnecessary current on distribution systems. Proper reactive power management is important for reliability of electricity grids.
The document summarizes a 14-day exchange program in Germany. It provides a daily log of activities, including visiting schools, landmarks, and spending time with host families. Some highlights included going to a zoo, amusement park, castles, and various nature sites. The student formed strong bonds with their host family and struggled with missing them on the last day of the trip. They were grateful for the opportunity and educational experience the exchange program provided.

Este documento presenta informaciÃģn sobre la pelÃcula colombiana Rodrigo D No Futuro dirigida por VÃctor Gaviria en 1990. La pelÃcula retrata la vida de jÃģvenes en MedellÃn durante una ÃĐpoca de violencia en la dÃĐcada de 1980, utilizando actores no profesionales. Fue nominada a la Palma de Oro en Cannes y recibiÃģ elogios por su representaciÃģn cruda de la pobreza, la violencia y la cultura juvenil de la ÃĐpoca.
This document provides information on several different media creation tools and how they relate to various Virginia Standards of Learning. It summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of tools like BigHugeLabs, Shadow Puppet, Voki, and ImageChef. These tools allow students to create animations, videos, and images and can be used to support learning standards in subjects like English, physical science, civics and economics, and physical education. While the tools vary in their features and capabilities, they generally allow free creation and sharing of media without requiring accounts.
This document discusses using video games to teach mathematics. It argues that games can help develop mathematical proficiency by allowing students to learn skills through real-world problem solving in an engaging environment. However, games alone are not enough - they must supplement traditional teaching methods. The document outlines five elements of mathematical proficiency and how games could potentially help develop conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and strategic competence, though adaptive reasoning may be more difficult. It provides examples of games that could teach concepts through exploration and patterns.
