(Solved): Individual Assignment 4: Heijunka...
Just-in-time requires a stable production plan. If the volume or the product mix varies widely over time, it becomes very difficult to maintain a just-in-time environment. While customer demand is rarely known in advance, master production schedules are typically used to aggregate customer behavior and to govern production volume and mix for a specified time period. The master production schedule is typically given in units to be produced per week or per month. This must be further broken down to indicate smaller increments of time and more specific product identification. Heijunka boards generally show time increments of 5 - 30 minutes. The work day is divided into even time increments shown as column headings on the heijunka board. Various work areas or processes are shown as rows on the heijunka board. Each cell, then, on the heijunka board represents what is to be started by each area in each time slot. Ideally, there will be a short pattern of what is to be produced, and the pattern will be repeated throughout the day. For example, if two products of equal volume are produced, rather than producing X for four hours and then Y for four hours each day, the heijunka board would show alternating production X - Y, throughout the day.
Discuss how heijunka or production leveling is related to each of the following techniques or concepts.
 - Five S
 - Standardized Work
 - Flexible or Cross-Trained Employees
 - Kanban
 - Value Stream Mapping

(also characteristic function, characteristic), in geometrical optics, a function that specifies the optical path length of a ray of light between two arbitrary points, one (point A) in object space and the other (point A') in image space (seeIMAGE, OPTICAL).
Depending on the choice of parameters, several different types of eikonals are distinguished. The point characteristic, which is also referred to as Hamilton's characteristic or the characteristic function of Hamilton, is the eikonal of an optical system with respect to the coordinates x, y, and z of A and x', y', and z' of A'. The angle characteristic, which was discovered by H. E. Bruns, is the eikonal of an optical system with respect to a ray's direction cosines μ, v and μ′, v′. An example of a more complex eikonal is the characteristic function that was discovered by K. Schwarzschild.
In the designing of an optical system, the use of an eikonal makes it possible to obtain expressions for the system's transverse aberrations by differentiating the eikonal with respect to certain parameters. Functions called eikonals are widely used in charged-particle optics in the framework of the general analogy that exists between charged-particle and classical optics. Such functions are also used to describe particle and wave scattering processes in cases where analogies with optics arise. Examples of the techniques employed in such cases include the Hamiltonian method and the eikonal, or slowly varying amplitude, approximation in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.

Initial conditions for eikonal (16) and transfer (17) equations can be obtained from (13):
The connection to the speed of sound is now established through the eikonal equation [22].
Suppose at some time the Eikonal solution is known at a set of points (denoted Accepted points).
where amplitude [mathematical expression not reproducible] denote any vector functions of position and time and S is the eikonal or phase, any real function of position and time, too.

As regards the scientific review, the eikonal equation is expressed, and some complex-valued solutions are defined corresponding to complex rays and caustics.
Neglecting this term gives the refraction equations (eikonal and transport equations)


Microsoft: Over 540,000 students and teachers use Windows 8 in US
Microsoft is trying to show that Windows 8 can be used by more than just consumers and businesses. Today, the company announced that so far, over 540,000 students and teachers in grades K-12 and in higher education institutions have been using Windows 8-based systems in their education programs.
Today's press release put the spotlight on a number of the school systems already using Windows 8, including Atlanta, Georgia, one of the largest public school systems in the US. Microsoft states that 48,000 students in the system use Windows 8 on 25,000 virtual desktops. It adds, "Staff designed their own student digital portfolio learning application using SharePoint, which grants students seamless access to their desktop experience, Office 365 Education, and Office Web Apps from school or any offsite PC or device."
Over 3,000 kids who go to public school in Fargo, North Dakota are using Dell Latitude 10 tablets with Windows 8 installed. A number of colleges are also using Windows 8, including Thomas College in Maine, which has installed Windows 8 on all of its desktops and laptops. Pace University in New York is also rolling out Windows 8 on its 10,000 desktops and other devices. Windows 8 is also being used by the Apollo Group. The press release states:
The adult education and online learning company supports 324,000 students and 25,500 employees worldwide and are building out a standard desktop image, including Office 2013, and making it available to developers and testers in anticipation of a larger rollout in the near future. The most common reason for testing Windows 8 will be the proliferation of touch-based devices and shift to a more mobile workforce, coupled with the increased demand for work-life combination devices.

Dissertation Title: Vowel Harmony in the Dialects of Azerbaijani in Iran
Linguistic Field(s): Phonology
Subject Language(s): Azerbaijani, South (azb)
Dissertation Director(s):
Ağamusa Axundov
Dissertation Abstract:
The present dissertation, consisting of an introduction, two chapters,
conclusion, and a bibliography, deals with a phonological process called vowel
harmony, which is a kind of assimilation. This phonological rule is known as one
of the main characteristics of the Turkic languages. Azerbaijani, among other
Turkic languages utilizes vowel harmony quite a lot, to the extent that that if
we remove it from this language, it may be impossible to speak in it. The main
purpose of this study is to find a reliable answer to the question 'is vowel
harmony applied in the speech of the Azerbaijanis in Iran?'
In the first chapter, the harmony between the vowels has been dealt with. Here,
the researcher has investigated this matter in two sections:
a. The harmony observed in the roots.
b. The harmony observed between the roots and the suffixes.
Vowel harmony in Azerbaijani is applied based on two phonetic features, i.e.
[round] and [back], so the harmony in the roots and also the harmony between the
roots and the suffixes have been studied according to these features in major
parts of speech (verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs). The results of the study
show that except some violations (mainly in the loanwords), there is an innate
harmony in the roots of the words and regarding the harmony between roots and
suffixes, we observe a strong and stable harmony, i.e. if we add a suffix to a
root, the vowel of the suffix will certainly harmonize with that of the root. In
the second part of the first chapter, the researcher has investigated the
violations (irregularities) of the general rule in the above-mentioned dialects.
Most of the words which don't obey the general rule are loanwords. In the
second chapter, the assimilation between vowels and consonants and also the
assimilation between some consonants have been studied. For example the phoneme
/x/ in most of the words collocates with back vowels. The consonants produced in
the front part of the oral cavity co-occur with each other and those produced in
the back part do so. Finally, the conclusions of the study have been presented
and it has been demonstrated that vowel harmony as one of the most famous and
prominent phonological rules of Azerbaijani is applied to a high degree in the
speech of the Azerbaijanis in Iran, though some violations exist. At the end of
the dissertation the list of the used bibliography has been presented.

The geography of thought: How culture colors the way the mind
ANN ARBOR, Mich.Cultural differences in
the way the mind works may be greater than most people suspect,
according to University of Michigan psychologist Richard Nisbett,
author of "The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners
Think Differently...and Why," just published by The Free
Press. "When you have a diverse group of people from different
cultures, you get not just different beliefs about the world, but
different ways of perceiving it and reasoning about it, each with
its own strengths and weaknesses," says Nisbett, a senior
research scientist at the U-M Institute for Social Research (ISR),
the world's largest academic survey and research organization.
|Westerners and East Asians describe this scene
in different ways
(Source: The University of Michigan Institute for Social Research)
In the book, Nisbett, who also heads the U-M Culture
and Cognition Program, discusses the substantial differences in
East Asian and Western thought processes, citing experimental, historical,
and social evidence. His findings call into question the long-standing
psychological assumption that the way the human mind works is universal.
In the process, he addresses such questions as:
· Why did the ancient Chinese excel at algebra
and arithmetic, but not geometry?
· Why do Western infants learn nouns more
rapidly than verbs, when it is the other way around in East Asia?
· Why do East Asians find it so difficult
to disentangle an object from its surroundings?
"East Asian thought tends to be more holistic,"
says Nisbett, who also heads the U-M Culture and Cognition Program.
"Holistic approaches attend to the entire field, and make
relatively little use of categories and formal logic. They also
emphasize change, and they recognize contradiction and the need
for multiple perspectives, searching for the 'Middle Way'
between opposing propositions.
"Westerners are more analytic, paying attention
primarily to the object and the categories to which it belongs and
using rules, including formal logic, to explain and predict its
In study after study described in the book, Nisbett
and colleagues from China, Korea, and Japan have found that East
Asians and Americans responded in qualitatively different ways to
the same stimulus situation. In one experiment, designed to test
whether East Asians are more likely to attend to the whole while
Westerners are more likely to focus on a particular object within
the whole, Japanese and Americans viewed the same animated underwater
scenes, then reported what they had seen.
"The first statement by Americans usually
referred to a large fish in the foreground," says Nisbett.
"They would say something like, 'There was what looked
like a trout swimming to the right.' The first statement by
Japanese usually referred to background elements: 'There was
a lake or a pond.' The Japanese made about 70 percent more
statements than Americans about background aspects of the environment,
and 100 percent more statements about relationships with inanimate
aspects of the environment, for example, that a big fish swam past
some gray seaweed."
In another experiment described in the book, Nisbett
and colleagues found that Americans respond to contradiction by
polarizing their beliefs whereas Chinese respond by moderating their
beliefs. In still another study, the researchers found that when
making predictions about how people in general could be expected
to behave in a given situation, Koreans were much more likely than
Americans to cite situational factors rather than personality characteristics
as reasons for someone's behavior.
Social practices and cognitive processes support
or "prime" one another, Nisbett points out. For example,
"the practice of feng shui for choosing building sites may
encourage the idea that the factors affecting outcomes are extraordinarily
complex," he notes, "which in turn encourages the search
for relationships in the field. This may be contrasted with the
more atomistic and rule-based approaches to problem-solving characteristic
of the West. Consider, for example, the nature of approaches to
self-help in the West: 'The Three Steps to a Comfortable Retirement'
or 'Six Ways to Increase Your Word Power.'"
According to Nisbett, Asians move radically in
an American direction after a generation or less in the United States.
"But it might be a mistake to assume that it's an easy
matter to teach one culture's tools to individuals in another
without total immersion in that culture," he says.

:ee: 占い = uranai = fortune-telling
So do you believe in 占い = uranai = fortune-telling?
I can't tell you the percentage, but many Japanese people do believe in fortune telling to some extent.
Some of you might have seen my superstitious lessons before.
迷信( = meishin) & 縁起( = engi) Japanese superstitions

And there are a lot of places where you can have your fortune read.
占い師 = uranaishi =a fortune teller
占いが当たる = uranai ga ataru = accurate fortune-telling
占いが外れる= uranai ga hazureru = inaccurate fortune-telling
I will give you a list of main stream fortune-telling related vocabulary in Japanese.

頭脳線 = chinousen = brain line
結婚線 = kekkonsen = marriage line
姓名判断= seimei handan = fortune-telling based on the writing or pronunciation of one's name.
Many parents give a name to their baby based on this type of fortune-telling. They count the stroke of the kanji and sum it up and see the balance with the family name.
Thus when woman get married in Japan they change their family name. So their luck also changes according to this fortune-telling. Since we can't change their name on the official family registration easily, they just change the name in daily use to avoid the bad luck.
!star! Other fortune-telling related words:
運勢 = unsei = luck
Ex. 運勢をみてもらう
= Unsei wo mite morau
= to have someone read your fortune

悪い運勢 = warui unsei = bad fortune
:rrrr: 運勢が悪い = unsei ga warui = to have bad fortune
Ex. 運勢が上がる = unsei ga agaru = fortune improves
Ex. 運勢が下がる = unsei ga sagaru = fortune declines
運命= unmei = destiny
In fortune-telling, we often use these words.
:w: 〜運 = うん = ~ un = fortune/luck for ~
Ex. 私は男運が悪い。
= Watashi wa otokoun ga warui.
= I have bad luck when it comes to men.
結婚運 = kekkonun = marriage prediction

Despite the fact that our nation's potato consumption is at its lowest point in 30 years — down 20% since 1996, in fact — our kids are consuming so much of the vegetable in school lunches that it's become a topic of debate in the Senate. The government would like to see potatoes in school lunches limited to only two servings per week, but senators from big potato-growing states are arguing against the USDA's suggestions by ranting, raving, and comparing it to the villainous iceberg lettuce.

The cold water acts like an appetite suppressant for fish. That is also one of the main reasons why bait fishing is not very successful in winter months. That is something I learned while working at the fish hatchery.

Zonyl™ PTFE
Zonyl™ fluoroadditives are finely divided white powders of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin. They are a separate and distinctive new product line, very different from the well-known Teflon™ PTFE molding and extrusion powders. The differences include:
Zonyl™ fluoroadditive powders are designed primarily for use as minority components in mixtures with other solid or liquid materials. Even in small quantities, they can impart some of the unusual properties of PTFE to various hosts. Chemours offers a choice of particle size and morphology to facilitate intimate mixing with dissimilar materials.
Depending on the material, Zonyl™ fluoroadditives can enhance abrasion resistance, reduce coefficient of friction and mechanical wear, reduce surface contamination, and modify appearance. Zonyl™ fluoroadditives also provide specific benefits to specialized products. For example, thermoplastic parts, such as gears, benefit from improved wear resistance and reduced friction. Stick-slip behavior can be eliminated. Elastomeric seals for diverse environments improve in tear and abrasion resistance. Lithographic, flexographic, and gravure inks can be formulated for better image protection and higher productivity.
When used alone as a powder or in a paste or spray, Zonyl™ fluoroadditives can be made into all-purpose solid lubricants. As a paste, for example, they can be used as high-performance sealants or as lubricants for wear surfaces in hostile environments. The powder can be dispersed in water or an organic solvent to provide another option for direct use or as an additive.
Because of their inherent low molecular weight, Zonyl™ fluoroadditives are not to be used as molding or extrusion powders.

The Apache Ant frontend: ProjectHelper
What is a ProjectHelper?
The ProjectHelper in Apache Ant is responsible for parsing the build file and creating java instances representing the build workflow. It also signals which kind of file it can parse, and which file name it expects as default input file.
Ant' default ProjectHelper ( parses the usual build.xml files. And if no build file is specified on the command line, it will expect to find a file named build.xml.
The immediate benefit of a such abstraction it that it is possible to make Ant understand other kind of descriptive languages than XML. Some experiments have been done around a pure java frontend, and a groovy one too (ask the dev mailing list for further info about these).
Since Ant 1.8.2, the import task will also try to use the proper helper to parse the imported file. So it is possible to write different build files in different languages and have them import each other.
How is Ant is selecting the proper ProjectHelper
Ant knows about several implementations of ProjectHelper and has to decide which to use for each build file.
At startup Ant lists the all implementations found and keeps them in the same order they've been found in an internal'repository':
In case of an error while trying to instanciate a ProjectHelper, Ant will log an error but won't stop. If you want further debugging info about the ProjectHelper internal'repository', use the system property ant.project-helper-repo.debug and set it to true; the full stack trace will then also be printed.
When Ant is expected to parse a file, it will ask the ProjectHelper repository to find an implementation that will be able to parse the input file. Actually it will just iterate over the ordered list and the first implementation that returns true to supportsBuildFile(File buildFile) will be selected.
When Ant is started and no input file has been specified, it will search for a default input file. It will iterate over list of ProjectHelpers and will select the first one that expects a default file that actually exist.
Writing your own ProjectHelper
The class is the API expected to be implemented. So write your own ProjectHelper by extending that abstract class. You are then expected to implement at least the function parse(Project project, Object source). Note also that your implementation will be instanciated by Ant, and it is expecting a default constructor with no arguments.
There are some functions that will help you define what your helper is capable of and what is is expecting:
Now that you have your implementation ready, you have to declare it to Ant. Three solutions here:

- Text is a text string containing characters to extract,
- Number_chars represents the number of characters to be extracted.
- RIGHTB(), returns the rightmost characters from a text value.RIGHTB is intended for use with languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS).
RIGHTB (Text,Number_chars) e.g. RIGHTB("String123",3) displays 123 as a result.
- RIGHTB counts 2 bytes per character when system is set to language supporting DBCS, else counts 1 byte per character.
- RIGHTB works with the languages that use 'Double Byte Character Set' (DBCS).
- Text can be any string containing characters, numbers, symbols, blank spaces etc.
- If argument Text is directly entered in the command, it should be enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "Name").
- Argument Number_chars indicates the number of byte characters to be displayed from a text string. Number_chars should be >0.
- If Number_chars > 'length of text', Calci displays the entire text.
- If Number_chars is omitted, Calci assumes it to be 1.
Consider the following examples as input to RIGHTB() function.
=RIGHTB(A1,4) : Displays last 4 characters in a string from cell A1. Displays #!#> as the output. =RIGHTB(A2,6) : Displays last 6 characters in a string from cell A2. Displays SMITH as the output.
Space Character is also counted. =RIGHTB(A3) : Displays last character in a string from cell A3. Displays 3 as the output. =RIGHTB("Good Morning",20) :Displays the full text string Good Morning as the output.

Confucius Institutes come under scrutiny; MSU institute responds
Jun 30, 2014
As the importance of China's influence grows, so does the need for people who understand Chinese culture and the Chinese language. To foster that sort of understanding, universities across the United States, including Michigan State University, have established Confucius Institutes.
Host universities like MSU work with the Chinese education agency Hanban to train teachers from the U.S. and China to promote Chinese language learning.
In a recent report, though, the American Association of University Professors called on schools to either scrap their partnerships or renegotiate them. The AAUP says these arrangements lack transparency and put academic freedom at risk.
Current State spoke with Joerg Tiede of the AAUP, along with Nancy Romig and Ruhui Ni, associate directors of MSU's Confucius Institute.

In the period of transition from a centralized economy to the market economy, occupational health services in Kyrgyzstan have survived through dramatic, detrimental changes. It is common for occupational health regulations to be ignored and for basic occupational health services across many industrial enterprises and farms to be neglected. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the present situation and challenges facing occupational health services in Kyrgyzstan. The transition from centralized to the market economy in Kyrgyzstan has led to increased layoffs of workers and unemployment. These threats are followed by increased workload, and the health and safety of workers becomes of little concern. Private employers ignore occupational health and safety; consequently, there is under-reporting of occupational diseases and accidents. The majority of enterprises, especially those of small or medium size, are unsanitary, and the health status of workers remains largely unknown. The low official rates of occupational diseases are the result of data being deliberately hidden; lack of coverage of working personnel by medical checkups; incompetent management; and the poor quality of staff, facilities, and equipment. Because Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country, the main environmental and occupational factor of enterprises is hypoxia. Occupational health specialists have greatly contributed to the development of occupational medicine in the mountains through science and practice. The enforcement of existing strong occupational health legislation and increased financing of occupational health services are needed. The maintenance of credible health monitoring and effective health services for workers, re-establishment of medical services and sanitary-hygienic laboratories in industrial enterprises, and support for scientific investigations on occupational risk assessment will increase the role of occupational health services in improving the health of the working population

Mountainous terrain exerts an important influence on the Earth's atmosphere and affects atmospheric transport and mixing at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. The vertical scale of this transport and mixing is determined by the height of the atmospheric boundary layer, which is therefore an important parameter in air pollution studies, weather forecasting, climate modeling, and many other applications. It is recognized that the spatio-temporal structure of the daytime convective boundary layer (CBL) height is strongly modified and more complex in hilly and mountainous terrain compared to flat terrain. While the CBL over flat terrain is mostly dominated by turbulent convection, advection from multi-scale thermally driven flows plays an important role for the CBL evolution over mountainous terrain. However, detailed observations of the CBL structure and understanding of the underlying processes are still limited. Characteristics of CBL heights in mountainous terrain are reviewed for dry, convective conditions. CBLs in valleys and basins, where hazardous accumulation of pollutants is of particular concern, are relatively well-understood compared to CBLs over slopes, ridges, or mountain peaks. Interests in the initiation of shallow and deep convection, and of budgets and long-range transport of air pollutants and trace gases, have triggered some recent studies on terrain induced exchange processes between the CBL and the overlying atmosphere. These studies have helped to gain more insight into CBL structure over complex mountainous terrain, but also show that the universal definition of CBL height over mountains remains an unresolved issue. The review summarizes the progress that has been made in documenting and understanding spatio-temporal behavior of CBL heights in mountainous terrain and concludes with a discussion of open research questions and opportunities for future research.

Disturbed xeric grasslands with short, sparse vegetation provide breeding habitat for mountain plovers (Charadrius montanus) across the western Great Plains. Maintaining local disturbance regimes through prairie dog conservation and prescribed fire may contribute to the sustainability of recently declining mountain plover populations, but these management approaches can be controversial. We estimated habitat-specific mountain plover densities and nest survival rates on black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies and burns in the shortgrass steppe of northeastern Colorado. Mountain plover densities were similar on prairie dog colonies (5.9 birds/km2; 95% CI = 4.7–7.4) and sites burned during the preceding dormant season (6.7 birds/km2; 95% CI = 4.6–9.6), whereas the 29-day nest survival rate was greater on prairie dog colonies (0.81 in 2011 and 0.39 in 2012) compared to the burned sites (0.64 in 2011 and 0.17 in 2012). Reduced nest survival in 2012 compared to 2011 was associated with higher maximum daily temperatures in 2012, consistent with a previous weather-based model of mountain plover nest survival in the southern Great Plains. Measurements of mountain plover density relative to time since disturbance showed that removal of prairie dog disturbance by sylvatic plague reduced mountain plover density by 70% relative to active prairie dog colonies after 1 year. Plover densities declined at a similar rate (by 78%) at burned sites between the first and second post-burn growing season. Results indicate that black-tailed prairie dog colonies are a particularly important nesting habitat for mountain plovers in the southern Great Plains. In addition, findings suggest that prescribed burning can be a valuable means to create nesting habitat in landscapes where other types of disturbances (such as prairie dog colonies) are limited in distribution and size.

Neptunium has a high solubility in groundwaters from Yucca Mountain. Uranium in nuclear reactors produces 237 Np which has a half-life of 2.1 4 x 10 6 years. Consequently, the transport of 237 Np through tuffs is of major importance in assessing the performance of a high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain. The objective of this work is to determine the amount of Np retardation that is provided by the minerals in Yucca Mountain tuffs as a function of groundwater chemistry

We obtained paleomagnetic samples from six sites within the Middle Jurassic Ironside Mountain batholith (~170 Ma), which constitutes the structurally lowest part of the Western Hayfork terrane, in the Klamath Mountains province of northern California and southern Oregon. Structural attitudes measured in the coeval Hayfork Bally Meta-andesite were used to correct paleomagnetic data from the batholith. Comparing the corrected paleomagnetic pole with a 170-Ma reference pole for North America indicates 73.5° ± 10.6° of clockwise rotation relative to the craton. Nearly one-half of this rotation may have occurred before the terrane accreted to the composite Klamath province at ~168 Ma. No latitudinal displacement of the batholith was detected.

Mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) were introduced in Washington's Olympic Mountains during the 1920s. The population subsequently increased in numbers and expanded in range, leading to concerns by the 1970s over the potential effects of non-native mountain goats on high-elevation plant communities in Olympic National Park. The National Park Service (NPS) transplanted mountain goats from the Olympic Mountains to other ranges between 1981 and 1989 as a means to manage overabundant populations, and began monitoring population trends of mountain goats in 1983. We estimated population abundance of mountain goats during 18–25 July 2011, the sixth survey of the time series, to assess current population status and responses of the population to past management. We surveyed 39 sample units, comprising 39% of the 59,615-ha survey area. We estimated a population of 344 ± 72 (90% confidence interval [CI]) mountain goats in the survey area.

Evaluation of Superpave Fine Aggregate Angularity Specification
MetadataShow full item record
The validity of the Superpave fine aggregate angularity (FAA) requirement is questioned by both the owner agencies and the paving and aggregate industries. The FAA test is based on the assumption that more fractured faces will result in higher void content in the loosely compacted sample; however, this assumption is not always true. Some agencies have found that cubical shaped particles, even with 100 percent fractured faces, may not meet the FAA requirement for high-volume traffic. State agencies are concerned that local materials, previously considered acceptable and which have provided good field performance, cannot meet the Superpave requirements. Researchers evaluated angularity of 23 fine aggregates representing most types of paving aggregates used in the USA using seven different procedures: FAA test, direct shear test, compacted aggregate resistance (CAR) test, three different image analyses, and visual inspection. The three image analyses techniques included Hough Transform at University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR), unified image analysis at Washington State University (WSU), and VDG-40 videograder at Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC). A small study was performed to evaluate relative rutting resistance of HMA containing fines with different particle shape parameters using the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA). The FAA test method does not consistently identify angular, cubical aggregates as high quality materials. There is a fair correlation between the CAR stability value and angle of internal friction (AIF) from the direct shear test. No correlation was found between FAA and CAR stability or between FAA and AIF. Fairly good correlations were found between FAA and all three image analysis methods. Some cubical crushed aggregates with FAA values less than 45 gave very high values of CAR stability, AIF, and 'angularity' from imaging techniques. Moreover, the three image analysis methods exhibited good correlation among themselves. A statistical analysis of the SHRP-LTPP (Strategic Highway Research Program-Long-Term Pavement Performance) database revealed no significant evidence relationship between FAA and rutting. This lack of relationship is not surprising since many uncontrolled factors contribute to pavement rutting. The APA study revealed that FAA is not sensitive to rut resistance of HMA mixtures. Image analysis methods appear promising for measuring fine aggregate angularity. Until a suitable replacement method(s) for FAA can be identified, the authors recommend that the FAA criteria be lowered from 45 to 43 for 100 percent crushed aggregate. Analysis of the FAA versus rutting data should be examined later as the amount of data in the SHRP-LTTP database is expanded.

What is railway monitoring?
Railway infrastructures and systems play a significant role in highly efficient transportation, which is needed to meet the increasing demand in transporting both cargo and passengers. These structures are extremely susceptible to degradation and failure, due to extreme environmental situations under severe loading and working conditions, caused by the traffic growth, heavier axles and vehicles and increase in speed. Innovative sensing technologies based on fiber optic sensors have been utilized for structural health monitoring (SHM), the real time measurement and long-term assessment of structural properties.
A fiber optic structural health monitoring system allows for early-stage damage detection and characterization, which leads to timely remediation and prevention of disastrous failure. The use of fiber optic sensors for structural health monitoring is in great demand due to their inherent distinctive advantages, such as small size, light weight, immunity to electromagnetic systems. Furthermore, the geometry and versatility of these sensors allow them to be integrated into these structures for real time monitoring for sensing critical components of both railways and trains over long distances (up to 20 km).
A fiber optic monitoring system can be used for operation monitoring (train speed and components) and structural health monitoring (rails, sleepers, ballast, bridges, tunnels, rail security etc.) of railway structures. Such a system is being widely used due to its ability to measure physical quantities (such as strains, temperature, displacements, cracks etc.) continuously distributed over the full length of the fiber.

Survey-Based Assessment of Household Borrowers' Financial Vulnerability
Discussion papers 1/2014
Summary: This Discussion Paper is an attempt to provide insight into the debt servicing capacity of Latvian households and its sustainability under the impact of different macroeconomic shocks based on individual household data obtained by surveying households with at least one loan for house purchase. To assess the financial situation of these households, changes in the household solvency are modelled under the impact of different economic shocks (shrinking employment income, rising interest rates, loss of jobs) and the obtained results are generalised to the aggregate portfolio of loans granted by Latvian credit institutions to households for house purchase. The results obtained lead to a conclusion that following the financial crisis household solvency is still fragile and possible negative shocks might contribute to higher potential losses of credit institutions. At the same time possible losses to lenders arising from such adverse shocks might be lower than two years ago since the value of collateral has increased with real estate prices moving up, while outstanding loans granted for house purchase have declined.
Key words: analysis of household solvency, stress tests, sensitivity analysis, financial margin, macroeconomic shock scenario, microdata

What is GTIN, MPN, UPC, EAN, and ISBN on eBay? - Sellbrite
There are a lot of different acronyms involved in listing an item for sale on eBay, many of which you may not know. From MPNs and UPCs to ISBNs and EANs, keeping track of them can seem complicated, but their purpose is to simplify the eBay buying and selling process.
These product identifiers are a series of numerical or alphanumerical digits that signify specific items, creating a universal system that allows products to be identified. These various codes make it easy for shoppers to find items both on eBay and through search engines like Google, and they can boost your listings' visibility.
So what is MPN on eBay? And what about all those other acronyms? And how can they help your eBay sales? Let's take a look at what each of these identifiers means and how they can help you improve your eBay listings and make sales.
What is GTIN?
"GTIN" stands for global trade item number, an identifier assigned to any product by GS1, a not-for-profit organization that develops international standards for business communication.
These unique numbers help identify which products in one database correspond with products in another database across international borders and organizational boundaries, and they're issued to manufacturers and retailers for a fee. They were created to establish a single standard for product identification, and they incorporate other product identifiers, including UPC, EAN, MPN, and ISBN, which are all types of GTINs.
What is MPN?
"MPN" stands for manufacturer part number and is a series of numbers and/or letters that a manufacturer assigns to individual products.
MPNs help buyers find specific parts, and they identify which companies made those parts. They're more common in industries that make interchangeable parts, like the automobile, machinery, hardware, and computer industries.
For example, let's say an eBay shopper is looking for a specific hard drive.
search ebay by MPN
They can search for the item's MPN, such as "WL4000GSA6472E," as illustrated above.
ebay hard drives for sale
The shopper will then get a variety of search results, such as in the example above, that display only items with that exact MPN.
What is UPC?
"UPC" stands for universal product code, and it consists of a 12-digit numeric code and a corresponding machine-readable barcode that can be assigned to any product.
These are common in the United States and Canada and are primarily used for tracking inventory and scanning items at the point of sale. A unique UPC can identify a product by brand, name, item, color, and other factors.
What is EAN?
"EAN" stands for European article number, and it's essentially the European version of a UPC. These 13-digit codes are also known as international article numbers.
If your eBay listings are available to international buyers, including an EAN as a product identifier is essential.
What is ISBN?
"ISBN" stands for international standard book number, a 13-digit product identifier exclusively for books.
They're used primarily by publishers, booksellers, and libraries, but are commonly employed by Internet retailers to identify titles. Each variation of a book title — including the edition, the language, and the book format, such as print, audio, or e-book — has a unique ISBN.
What About SKUs?
"SKU" stands for stock-keeping unit, and it is a type of product identifier. However, SKUs are created by individual businesses for internal use and aren't actually standard codes.
eBay does have a "custom label (SKU)" field for sellers to enter SKUs, which allows you to include these internal identifiers to help you track inventory, ship orders, and ensure your listings are correct, but they won't be visible to buyers.
How Should eBay Sellers Use Product Identifiers?
When listing an item for sale on eBay, you'll always be prompted to enter product identifiers, such as the UPC or ISBN, for example, as illustrated below.
ebay product identifiers field
The purpose of these identifiers is to allow for product-based shopping and to make it easy for consumers to find the specific product they're interested in.
While eBay doesn't require product identifiers for product category — such as certain collectibles — they are essential for most eBay product categories. You can view the full list of qualifying and required categories here.
What are the Benefits of Product Identifiers on eBay?
As mentioned previously, using product identifiers in eBay listings simplifies the product-based shopping process for eBay users by allowing them to quickly and easily identify items. But there are several other benefits to including these codes in your listings:
 - They make creating listings easier by matching items with products already in eBay's catalog. For example, if you're selling a box set of Harry Potter paperback books and enter the ISBN "9781408856772," eBay can easily identify the product from previous listings and fill in a lot of essential information for you, as illustrated in the screenshot below.

 - They make pricing more accurate.
 - They improve placement and visibility in search results on both eBay and in search engines.
 - They enable eBay to alert you when your listings are below the item's trending price.
 - They make your listings eligible for inclusion in eBay promotions.
Check out this article for tips for increasing your sales from successful eBay sellers.
Include 'Item Specifics'
Not every item you list for sale on eBay will necessarily have a specific product identifier, such as an MPN, a UPC, or an EAN. For example, event tickets and certain collectibles will typically lack this information, but you can still list these items for sale on eBay.
But you can still include what eBay calls "item specifics" in your listings, like the brand name and the physical details of what you're selling, such as size, make, model, and color. This information makes it easy for buyers to find your listings through search and determine whether your item is the one they're looking for.

Causes of Avalanches
Avalanches can be caused by many different things. Some of them are natural. For example, new snow or rain can cause accumulated snow suddenly to dislodge and cascade down the side of a mountain. Earthquakes and the natural movements of animals have also been known to cause avalanches.

6 Things You Should Know About "Perjury" Laws
This article explains the law in California
Under California Penal Code 118 pc, perjury is when you intentionally provide false information that you know to be false while you are under oath1.
How Does The Prosecutor Prove Perjury?
To prove that someone is guilty of perjury, the prosecutor has to prove the following facts or elements2:
 - You took an oath to provide3 information in a truthful manner.
 - You willfully4 stated that the information was true knowing that it was in fact false.
 - The information was material5
 - When you made the statement, you intended to testify falsely while under oath6
 - When the information is in a form of a declaration, certification, or deposition, the defendant signed and delivered his/her declaration/deposition/certificate to someone else intending that it be circulated or published as true.7
Examples Of Perjury
 - You typed up a declaration per your lawyer's request that contained information that you knew to be false even though you signed the declaration under the penalty of perjury.
 - You were a witness at a friend's homicide trial where you knowingly and intentionally testified falsely while under oath, providing an alibi for your friend.
 - You are a notary public who authenticated a document you knew was forged under the penalty of perjury.
 - You are a defendant in an hit and run accident and during a deposition, you falsely testified under oath that when you approached the plaintiff's car after the accident, you detected a strong smell of marijuana; you in fact knew that this was not the case.
Who Can Be Charged With Penal Code 118?
If you were under oath to tell the truth in oral or written form but you knowingly provided false information, and in the case of information in written form (i.e. declaration), you intended the information to be circulated or publicized to others, you can be charged with perjury under penal code 118.
You are the passenger in a vehicle that has been the cause of an accident. The driver of the vehicle flees the scene of the crime and commits a violation of vehicle code 20002 VC – Hit and Run.
During a trial you tell the court under oath that he did not hit the vehicle in question. Under this scenario, you may be guilty of perjury.
Legal Defenses to Perjury Charges
There are several defenses that an attorney can assert to fight a charge of perjury under penal code 118 pc.
Mistake Or Misunderstanding
Because one of the elements is that you willfully make a false statement, if you honestly but mistakenly believed your statement to be true, you attorney can argue this defense.8
You Attempted to Correct a False Statement
If you attempted to correct the statement after it was made, that attempt may show that you did not intend to provide false information.9
There was Insufficient Evidence Of Perjury
Where the only proof of the falsity of your statement is the testimony of one other witness which contradicts your statement, it is insufficient to prove perjury.10
However, distinguish this from such evidence emanating from your own statement. In other words, if the statement is false based in whole or in part on your own testimony, the jury can conclude that such evidence is sufficient to establish perjury.
If you had attempted to dissuade that witness you could be charged with dissuading a witness or victim under california penal code 136.1
What Are The Penalties & Punishment For Perjury?
Perjury is a felony offense in California, so the penalties are harsh.
The judge has discretion to issue the penalty how he sees fit based on the following factors:
 - Seriousness of your perjury,
 - Your criminal record,
 - Whether your perjury harmed another person.
The judge can issue any of the following penalties:
If your perjury caused another individual to be convicted and executed, you could be found guilty of what's called "aggravated perjury" which is punishable by a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole, or a death sentence.

how do you feel about someone lying to get a restraining of civil harassment? Nothing they stated had any truth to it. At the time of the hearing can the judge charge that person with perjury if in fact that she can not provided any truth and the defendant can prove it?

Publication: Research › Ph.D. thesis – Annual report year: 2008
The purpose of the present PhD project was to identify the mechanisms governing global land use consequences of increased crop demand in a given location and, based on this conceptual analysis, to present and demonstrate a method proposal for construction of land use data that can be used in life cycle assessments involving crop consumption. Increased demand for a given crop can be met by intensification, expansion, and/or by displacement of other crops or pastures. The last option will reduce the supply of other agricultural products, which may then be replaced elsewhere. Such displacement-replacement mechanisms are governed by the availability of suitable agricultural land and several economic conditions, such as transport and trade costs. To estimate the land use response to an increase in crop demand, economic modelling can be used. In this project, the economic equilibrium model GTAP (Global Trade Analysis Project) was modified and applied to simulate increased demand for wheat in respectively Brazil, China, Denmark, and the USA. The net expansion of the global agricultural area was thereby estimated and it was attempted to classify the affected nature types (biomes) by use of global agricultural maps and agricultural statistics.

Climate "Disruption" and Publication Bias
Quite a while ago I wrote an article about climate publication bias called Summer of the Shark.
The point is that it is easy for people to mistake the frequency of publication about a certain phenomenon for the frequency of occurrence of the phenomenon itself. Here is a good example I saw the other day:
An emaciated polar bear was spotted in a Russian industrial city this week, just the latest account of polar bears wandering far from their hunting grounds to look for food.
Officials in the Russian city of Norilsk warned residents about the bear Tuesday. They added that it was the first spotted in the area in over 40 years.
I am willing to bet my entire bourbon collection that a) hungry polar bears occasionally invaded Siberian towns in previous decades and b) news of such polar bear activity from towns like Norilsk did NOT make the American news. But readers (even the author of the article) are left to believe there is a trend here because they remember seeing similar stories recently but don't remember seeing such stories earlier in their life.
America's Soft Power We Don't Even Realize We Have
A while back I took at Teaching Company course on Victorian Great Britain. The professor said something about the Victorians that really stuck with me -- he said that the British never understood the soft power they had in the world. The world wanted to dress British and emulate British manners. They read British authors. They desperately wanted to send their children to British schools. Even the native revolutionaries in their colonies sometimes revolted in very British ways. Sure the leaders of the Indian National Congress harbored enormous resentments against the arrogance of British power, but all their leaders were British-schooled and cast many of their arguments in terms from the British enlightenment.
I was thinking about this a while back when I was in France and attended a show of local French artists. As with much modern art, much of it incorporated bits of pop culture. And about 98% of that was American and to a lesser extent British pop culture. Sure, some of it was used ironically, but American culture is consumed everywhere in the world. I must have seen 5 or 6 artists using Captain America imagery alone in their art in a not-at-all hostile or ironic way.. America in the 20th and 21st century is in the same position as the British in the 19th century, and we are probably just as unaware of that soft power and pissing it away just as surely with our slamming around the world like a bull in a china shop.
And speaking of China, it is simply insane in my mind to turn them into our enemies. Whatever the top Chinese officials are after, much of the population wants to be like Americans. They want to come to our schools and wear our fashions and watch our movies and TV. We have had several exchange students from China live with us and they treat getting to spend time living in America like having hit the lottery. We have watched one woman who goes by "Cat" in the US all the way from high school to college in America to getting a good banking job. She first showed up at our house looking exactly like Ching "Honey" Huan from Doonesbury -- the hair, glasses, clothes, everything. She now looks, dresses, and talks like any young American. For a while her Instagram was dominated by pictures of her and her friends at Big 10 football games.
I have been consumed of late with other things in my life, and really have not had the chance to address the increasingly insane extent of the Trump Administration's economic nationalism. But go to Don Boudreax's and Mark Perry's blogs and scroll through them -- they do a much more eloquent job of defending free trade than I can.
TV Recomendation -- Wolf Hall
I do truly think we are living in the Golden Age of TV. There are so many great shows -- Game of Thrones, the Crown, Counterpart, even a few guilty pleasures like Outlander. I wanted to recommend one I just watched and I have not heard a lot about before -- Wolf Hall, a retelling (yes, yet again) of the Henry the VIII era from the perspective of Thomas Cromwell. I thought it was really terrific, with Mark Rylance's quirky take on Thomas Cromwell and Clare Foy as Anne Boleyn and Damien Lewis as Henry (best casting ever as Henry, but I really like Damien Lewis). Plus a great supporting cast including folks like Jonathon Pryce and Mark Gatiss. Only 6 episodes and it seems like the logical season 2 is missing, but I really enjoyed it. The acting is great, but I must confess I liked Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn in the Tudors better, probably because I have a thing for Natalie Dormer (which my wife does NOT understand). The Wolf Hall take on the protagonists is quirky -- it is probably the most sympathetic take on Wolsey you will ever see and the least sympathetic take on Moore you will see. Very intelligent and avoids (for good and for bad) the Skinemax aspects of the Tudors series.
It starts with this tweet:
Mentions of the "Social Security Trust Fund" Like It is A Real Thing Make Me Crazy
From Market Watch, but you see the same article everywhere:
This year, like last year, Social Security's trustees said the program's two trust funds would be depleted in 2034.
This is like sticking a knitting needle in my eye every time I read it. Repeat after me: There is no trust fund. If it ever existed, it is gone.
OK, I will admit that it does technically exist -- there is a government account for it. But the trust fund is full of just one asset: government IOU's to itself. When Social Security was collecting more money in taxes than it spent on benefits, the extra cash flowed into the trust fund. Then Congress immediately took the cash out and spent it on... whatever, and left behind an IOU. I suppose the government pays interest to itself on this debt, but this interest just goes back around in a circle to cover the interest that was just paid out.
Imagine you had a piggy bank where you collected money for a rainy day. Then one day you wanted a new TV and you took $1000 out of the piggy bank to pay for it, leaving an IOU in the piggy bank for $1000. I guess you could technically say to yourself that you still had $1000 in assets in the bank, but what good is an IOU to yourself? I suppose you could even pay yourself interest. You could take $20 out and then put it back in as interest. Wouldn't that feel like progress!
This is what the government has done. You can read numerous articles online that will say that in the case of the trust fund these IOU's are somehow different and really have value. Here is the simplest way to think about it: Imagine to cover benefits in a particular year the Social Security Administration needs $1 billion above and beyond Social Security taxes. If the trust fund exists, the government takes a billion dollars of government bonds out and sells them to private buyers on the open market. If the trust fund didn't exist, the government would.... issue a billion dollars in bonds and sell them to private buyers on the open market. In either case, the government's indebtedness to the outside world goes up by a billion dollars. I will confess there are some technical issues that might differ in the two cases -- perhaps there are different implications for the two approaches on the government debt limit. But that is just a procedural issue -- in reality there is no economic difference between the two cases. If there is no economic difference between the trust fund existing and not existing, then in my mind is effectively does not exist.
US Trade Deficit: Foreigners Are Consuming US Goods, But Consuming Them in the US (So They Don't "Count" As An Export)
Via Don Boudreaux:
Greg Ip writes that "The U.S. runs a trade deficit because it consumes more than it produces while its trading partners, collectively, do the opposite" ("How the Tax Cut President Trump Loves Will Deepen Trade Deficits He Hates," April 19).
Here is how I like to explain why this is wrong. The trade deficit exists in large part because foreigners are more likely to consume the American-made goods and services they buy right here in the US, rather than take them back to their home country, while US consumers tend to bring foreign goods back to America to consume them. Let me unpack this.
First, over any reasonable length of time, payments between countries are going to balance. If this were not true, there would be some mattress in China that has trillions of dollar bills stuffed in it, and no reasonable person nowadays just lets money sit around lying fallow. There are some payments between countries for each others' goods. And there are some payments for each others' services. And there are some payments for various investments. All these ultimately balance, which makes fixating on just one part of this circular flow, the payments for physical goods, sort of insane. If we have a trade "deficit" in physical goods, then we must have a trade surplus in services (which we do) and in investments (which we do) to balance things out.
But what do we


Where Can CVS Expand New Stores?
Stephen Kita
Posted on Aug 3, 2020
For this project, CVS location and US population data were analyzed to suggest where CVS should consider opening new stores.
CVS pharmacy is the largest pharmacies in the United Sates, with almost 10,000 locations as of August, 2020. Last year they reported $256B in revenue, and were listed as #5 on the Fortune 500 list.
According to CVS's SEC filing, their major sources of income are pharmacy and in-store sales. In addition, the majority of the pharmacy sales are within network, as opposed to online or mail-order. Therefore, the vast majority of revenue for CVS comes from people physically walking into the store.
If CVS wants to continue growing, the easiest way seems to be opening new stores. However, CVS is challenged to open new stores, because they already operate in so many locations. Therefore, CVS should target areas with higher demand when opening stores.
Data Collection
In this project, the location and count of every CVS store in the United States were scraped from the CVS website1. Store location data was collect and processed with the Python BeautifulSoup package.
Population data was downloaded from the US Census website, and population estimates for 2019 we used for all states (including District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) and for all cities > 50,000 residents.
These two datasets were combined using Python Pandas to generate a data frame of CVS location by state and city population:
Data Analysis
This data was graphed using Python Matplotlib to show the number of stores per capita. A linear trendline was calculated, and the slope was approximately 1 CVS store per 33,000 people. This trend was the same for both cities and states.
These states/cities can be grouped by whether they fall above or below the trendline (average number of stores per capita). The regions in green are where there are more than 33,000 stores per person, and the regions in red are where there are less.
Using this framework, we can assume that locations with below average CVS counts have a higher demand for new CVS stores. We can also rank the highest and lowest locations based on demand by population:
We can see that states like Washington and Colorado have a higher demand while states like Florida and Massachusetts have a lower demand. This could be do to the difference in ages between the states. Florida and Massachusetts have older populations, who would need more prescriptions than younger populations.
Looking at the cities, New York City and Los Angeles have a higher demand while Miami and Washington DC have a lower demand. This could be due to the high cost of real estate in NYC and LA, where the operating costs might hurt the profitability of a store.
We can cross-reference the city and state information to form a strategy about where CVS should expand.
If a state has a high demand for CVS and also has cities with a high demand, then CVS should make a larger presence in those cities. However, if a state has a high demand for CVS, but low demand in cities, then CVS should try expanding to new cities in that state.
In conclusion, if CVS wants to continue adding new stores, they could focus on expanding their presence in these cities where demand is high:
 - Seattle, WA
 - Denver, CO
 - Portland, OR
 - San Juan, PR
Alternatively, they could add stores in these states where demand is high by expanding to new towns:
 - Wisconsin
 - Arkansas
 - Utah
 - Iowa
Future Work
This analysis could be expanded by adding more demographic data, such as age and income levels, to better predict where a store would be profitable. In addition, competitor data from walgreens, walmart, rite aid, etc. could be scraped from the web to look for areas with less competition.
1 Data was scraped from the CVS Store Locator online. The CVS robots.txt file was reviewed beforehand and the store locator pages were allowed.

has been made from the tough fibrous bark, cork from the inner bark, and the leaves have been used for a variety of medicinal uses. It is a host to a red insect, which stains cotton and so has been eradicated in many areas where cotton is an important crop:
The fruits, flowers and young leaves are edible. The timber is hard, termite-resistant, has an attractive grain and dark-red colour, and is naturally oily so it can be highly polished. But the timber is often twisted and rarely found in large pieces so it makes only small items. As the timber does not impart a flavour, it is often used to carve wooden food bowls and food utensils in Hawaii. The tough fibrous bark is made into rope (Hawaii and elsewhere) but is not as good for this purpose as Hibiscus tiliaceus is. The bark is also used to caulk boats (Malay). Cork is made from the inner bark. A yellow dye is obtained from the flower and fruits, and a red one from the bark and heartwood. Other products extracted from the plant includes tannin, oil and gums (a dark red resin exudes from the bark)...It casts welcome shade and in Hawaii they were planted near homes for this purpose. In India, they were planted to provide shade in coffee and tea plantations.
Traditional medicinal uses: Ground up bark is used to treat skin diseases (India), dysentery and haemorrhoids (Mauritius). Leaves are applied to inflamed and swollen joints (South India). When cut, the young fruit secretes a yellow sticky sap used to treat ringworm and other skin diseases (South India). Roots are used as a tonic. There is some modern investigation of the plant's effects on high blood pressure:
The roots are used as a tonic... Kirtikar and Basu report that in Mauritius the bark is described as depurative, and as a cure for dysentery and haemorrhoids. Nadkarni says that a decoction of the bark is used for washing skin diseases. Ground bark mixed with coconut oil is also applied to skin diseases... leaves are applied to inflamed and swollen joints. The fruit abounds in a viscid, yellow juice which the natives in South India use as an external application in psoriasis. Many other uses are listed at:
The bark was used for cordage fiber. The tree also yields tannin, dye, oil, medicine and gum, from various parts of the plant. The wood was skillfully crafted into bowls and into plates, too. The wood is flavorless, because it is lacking in any unpleasant-tasting sap that could contaminate stored food. The wood has an attractive grain that takes to a high polish and, in addition to food utensils and containers, was fashioned into paddles and other carved objects, as well as for an occasional canoe:
Wood used for food containers, slit drums and cabinetry:
There are 19 papers/mentions in the Agricola database (_PHONE_) for use as a windbreak crop:
Thespesia are trees in the hibiscus-family valued not only for their ornamental qualities but also for their wide range of uses. However as T. populnea is already invasive in Florida, careful consideration needs to be given as to whether it is appropriate for cultivation in any given situation.

As a teacher, you may have been in a condition where you need to make an exercise for your students. You can download Homework For Toddlers Printables Free Download.
Homework can train responsibilities. If the teacher gives homework to students, then, of course, students must do it. Homework will train children to learn to be responsible for the tasks given by their teacher. Later, surely the teacher will check the assignment and if anyone does not do it, it will certainly be sanctioned. This is an attitude assessment and students must have a responsibility towards themselves.
Homework will make you be forced to repeat reading and understand the material that has been given in class. So by doing homework well then your understanding and analysis power will be even sharper. The sharper the power of understanding, in the future you will be faster in solving a problem. Because the essence of learning is repetition.
Homework actually can train how the cooperation of children and families at home. If the child is proactive then he will ask for help from his parents to do homework. Or maybe children can invite their friends to work collaboratively. This is another character that appears when PR is given. So every child will be found out, there are those who prefer to be alone and some who like to gather together solve a problem. Remember that collaboration and collaboration are one of the 21st-century mentalities that you absolutely have so you can succeed.
