1) Bananas and oranges are healthy foods that contain potassium, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin C respectively which are good for health and strengthening the body.
2) Studies on the French paradox show that the French have lower rates of heart attacks despite unhealthy lifestyles, possibly because they drink wine regularly. Wine contains antioxidants and alcohol which improve blood flow.
3) Early studies showed coffee raised blood pressure and heart rate, but later 1970s/80s studies proved coffee may actually improve blood pressure and reduce risks of diabetes, heart disease, and heart attacks.

This document discusses approaches and scenarios for organizations moving to Moodle 2. It identifies the main issues in upgrading as either doing a fresh install and moving courses manually, upgrading an existing installation, or dealing with existing plugins. It outlines scenarios that early adopters, mainstream adopters, and late adopters may take, such as a planned big bang approach or phased introduction. Benefits include spring cleaning courses and taking the opportunity for staff development.
This document discusses resources for a barista training course available on the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It includes video tutorials hosted on YouTube, a barista simulation game, and a mobile barista course accessible via smartphones. The video tutorials provide step-by-step instruction, while the simulation allows trainees to practice barista skills in a game-like format with tasks, feedback, and assessment. The mobile course delivers tutorials, videos and quizzes for on-the-go reference to support training staff and learners.
This document discusses flipped learning in the classroom. It describes flipped learning based on Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience, which involves students accessing instructional videos and activities on a virtual learning environment before class, then using class time for hands-on activities and higher-order thinking. Some benefits mentioned are flexible access to materials, personalized learning, stronger student-teacher relationships, and using class time for more engaging activities that go beyond memorization to synthesis and evaluation. The document also briefly discusses enterprise skills, stretch and challenge approaches, and using technology like SMART Boards to move students from lower-order to higher-order thinking.
Teaching and technology can have a positive impact on social inclusion by helping to close the digital divide. Evidence from learner progress records, individual learning plans, and achievement data show that teaching with technology helps learners gain confidence, skills, and opportunities that contribute to their well-being and employability. To maximize this impact, the organization takes a holistic view of learners' development and adopts comprehensive approaches to evaluating outcomes.

"Evolution needs mutations and Revolution needs pioneers but where will they come from in a sector-led system".
The presentation will question whether, in a “sector-led system” and a funding and accountability regime which militates against innovation, we can avoid what Martin Bean, and Vice Chancellor of the Open University describes as a “crisis of relevance” facing schools, colleges, adult & community learning and work based learning.

Features like desktop sharing, recording, and support are highlighted. Examples are given of UK colleges using JanetVC to facilitate mergers and broadcast lectures between campuses.
This document discusses specific media elements that are commonly used in action movies to attract audiences interested in realistic portrayals of criminal activity and law enforcement. It provides examples from films of each element:
1) A stakeout sequence from Bad Boys 2 is used to represent how stakeouts are conducted in real police work and can go wrong.
2) A secret KKK meeting on a pier in Bad Boys 2 mirrors how criminal activity actually takes place in secret locations.
3) The prevalence of firearms in action movies appeals to audiences because guns can dramatically change the pace of a scene from casual to a high-speed shootout.
4) Car chases are commonly seen when criminals flee the scene of a crime
