Top Modern Buildings In Tbilisi
Posted by Kate Galiorjan | May 16, 2020 | Uncategorized | 0 |
When it comes to Georgia and specifically to Tbilisi one thing is clear, the city is seated at the crossroads of the past and the future. It's especially visible in the architectural decisions: here, historic buildings are side by side with modern architecture, transforming neighborhoods and creating a dynamic beauty.
To understand Georgian architecture, you just need to peek behind the veil of history. Georgian buildings are the reflection of the decades of the social changes: conquests of the Ottoman Empire, being part of the Russian Empire, becoming free and independent only to be forcefully repatriated into the Soviet Union. Once you understand this fact, you will no longer think about architecture as a beautiful piece of art. Georgian architecture is truly a monument to the past and future.
As already stated, Georgia is a country of contrasts: a beautiful combination of historical and contemporary buildings. Old meets new creating an interesting blend.
If you want to know more about historical buildings in Tbilisi, please check out the article: Soviet architecture guide in Tbilisi. For now, we will focus on the top modern architecture in Tbilisi.
House of Justice
We couldn't not start our guide without the House of Justice. Opened in 2011 and constructed by the Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas, this unusual building is often referred to as the Mushroom Building because it resembles mushrooms growing on the stubs.
Again designed by Massimiliano Fuksas, these two-cylindrical building in Rike Park is a perfect example of Massimiliano's love for the volumetric and fanciful forms.
The Building of the Prosecutor's Office
The Building of the Prosecutor's Office is the perfect example of the color coordination and symbolism in the architecture. Designed to resemble the firmness, uncompromising nature and at the same time the transparency of the Justice system, this black-framed building with glass cabinets was completed in 2012.
While the exterior of this building is a stunning piece of architecture, the interior is even more awe-inspiring. Inside the building, mirrored glass walls endlessly throw reflections, creating even more volume.
Ministry of the Internal Affairs
Often described as the most futuristic building in Tbilisi, Ministry of Internal Affairs has the form of a wave, the wave of the glasses as it's often described by many tourists and locals.
The Peace Bridge
Nicknamed as an "Always Ultra Bridge" by locals, The Peace Bridge is one of the most popular tourist spots in Tbilisi.Opened in 2010, the bridge connects the district of Tbilisi Old Town with Rike Park over a river of Mtkvari. The bridge was designed by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, who had also designed the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Biltmore Hotel
Located in Rustaveli Avenue, Biltmore Hotel was opened in 2016 and is a 32-floor skyscraper. Its lobby, just in front of the skyscraper, occupies the Soviet-era building IMELI, which was constructed in the 1930s. Remaking of the old building IMELI was somewhat a controversy and was criticized by locals.

A theoretical framework is proposed for accurate performance analysis of minimum energy coding schemes in Coded Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless sensor networks. Bit error rate and average energy consumption is analyzed for two coding schemes proposed in the literature: Minimum Energy coding (ME), and Modified Minimum Energy coding (MME). Since CDMA wireless systems are strongly limited by multi access interference, the system model includes all the relevant characteristics of the wireless propagation. Furthermore, a detailed model of the energy consumption is described as function of the coding schemes, the radio transmit powers, the characteristics of the transceivers, and the dynamics of the wireless channel. A distributed radio power minimization algorithm is also addressed. Numerical results show that ME and MME coding schemes exhibit similar bit error probabilities, whereas MME outperforms ME only in the case of low data rate and large coding codewords.
The achieving of the best ratio of performance to energy consumption and at the same time assuring manageability is an important goal towards the design of Future Networks. This paper presents a general problem formulation for Energy-Aware Traffic Engineering (ETE) and proposes a distributed, heuristic ETE scheme that provides load balancing and energy-awareness in accordance with the operator's needs. Simulation results of ETE compared to the optimal network performance confirm the capability of ETE to meeting the needs of Future Networks.
The resource allocation problem of optimal assignment of the stations to the available access points in 60 GHz millimeterWave wireless access networks is investigated. The problem is posed as a multi-assignment optimization problem. The proposed solution method converts the initial problem to a minimum cost flow problem and allows to design an efficient algorithm by a combination of auction algorithms. The solution algorithm exploits the network optimization structure of the problem, and thus is much more powerful than computationally intensive general-purpose solvers. Theoretical and numerical results evince numerous properties, such as optimality, convergence, and scalability in comparison to existing approaches.
Wireless sensor networks for industrial automation applications must offer timely, reliable, and energy efficient communications at both low and high data rate. While traditional communication technologies between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are sometimes incapable to efficiently achieve the aforementioned goals, new communication strategies are emerging, such as millimeterWave communications. In this overview paper, the general requirements that factory and process automation impose on the network design are reviewed. Moreover, this paper presents and qualitatively evaluates the 60 GHz millimeterWave communication technology for automation. It is argued that the upcoming 60 GHz millimeterWave technology brings an enormous potential and can influence the design of the future communication infrastructures in factory and process automation.

Millimeter-wave communications in the 60-GHz band are considered one of the key technologies for enabling multigigabit wireless access. However, the special characteristics of such a band pose major obstacles to the optimal utilization of the wireless resources, where the problem of efficient client association to access points (APs) is of vital importance. In this paper, the client association in 60-GHz wireless access networks is investigated. The AP utilization and the quality of the rapidly vanishing communication links are the control parameters. Because of the tricky non-convex and combinatorial nature of the client association optimization problem, a novel solution method is developed to guarantee balanced and fair resource allocation. A new distributed, lightweight, and easy-to-implement association algorithm, based on Lagrangian duality theory and subgradient methods, is proposed. It is shown that the algorithm is asymptotically optimal, that is, the relative duality gap diminishes to zero as the number of clients increases.
The real-time detection of bacteria and other bio-pollutants in water distribution networks and the real-time control of the water quality is made possible by new biosensors. However, the limited communication capabilities of these sensors, which are placed underground, and their limited number, due to their high cost, pose significant challenges in the deployment and the reliable monitoring. This paper presents a preliminary study concerning the problem of the static optimal sensor placement of a wireless biosensor network in a water distribution network for real-time detection of bacterial contamination. An optimal sensor placement strategy is proposed, which maximizes the probability of detection considering a limited number of sensors while ensuring a connected communication topology. A lightweight algorithm that solves the optimal placement problem is developed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through simulations, considering different network topologies using a water pipelines emulator. The results indicate that the proposed optimization outperforms more traditional approaches in terms of detection probability. It is concluded that the availability of a dynamic model of the bacterial propagation along with a spatio-temporal correlation of the process could lead to a more advanced real-time control of the water distribution networks.
We present a novel protocol architecture for ubiquitous networks. Our solution is based on a randomized routing, MAC and duty cycling protocols that allow for performance and reliability leveraging node density. We show how the three layers can be jointly optimized for energy efficiency and we present a completely distributed algorithm that allows for the network to reach the optimal working point and adapt to traffic variations with negligible overhead. Finally, we present a set of simulation results that support our mathematical model.
A system level design methodology for clustered wireless sensor networks based on a semi-random communication protocol called SERAN is presented. The protocol is grounded on a mathematical model that allows to optimize the protocol parameters, and a network initialization and maintenance procedure. SERAN is a two-layer (routing and MAC) protocol. At both layers, SERAN combines a randomized and a deterministic approach. While the randomized component provides robustness over unreliable channels, the deterministic component avoids an explosion of packet collisions and allows our protocol to scale with network size. The combined result is a high reliability and major energy savings when dense clusters are used. Our solution is based on a mathematical model that characterizes performance accurately without resorting to extensive simulations. Thanks to this model, the user needs only to specify the application requirements in terms of end-to-end packet delay and packet loss probability, select the intended hardware platform, and the protocol parameters are set automatically to satisfy latency requirements and optimize for energy consumption.
Millimeter wave (mmWave) communications systems are promising candidate to support extremely high data rate services in future wireless networks. MmWave communications exhibit high penetration loss (blockage) and require directional transmissions to compensate for severe channel attenuations and for high noise powers. When blockage occurs, there are at least two simple prominent options: 1) switching to the conventional microwave frequencies (fallback option) and 2) using an alternative non-blocked path (relay option). However, currently it is not clear under which conditions and network parameters one option is better than the other. To investigate the performance of the two options, this paper proposes a novel blockage model that allows deriving maximum achievable throughput and delay performance of both options. A simple criterion to decide which option should be taken under which network condition is provided. By a comprehensive performance analysis, it is shown that the right option depends on the payload size, beam training overhead, and blockage probability. For a network with light traffic and low probability of blockage in the direct link, the fallback option is throughput- and delay-optimal. For a network with heavy traffic demands and semistatic topology (low beam-training overhead), the relay option is preferable.
On-off keying (OOK) is an attractive modulation technique to reduce energy consumption of power-constrained wireless networks. The OOK detection threshold, however, must be carefully selected to minimize the bit error probability (BER). This is a challenging task to accomplish on resource-limited nodes or on networks with high-mobility. In this paper, an efficient algorithm to compute the optimal threshold is proposed. The system scenario considers nodes simultaneously transmitting over same frequencies in Rayleigh-log-normal or Rice-log-normal fading conditions. It is shown that by using the Stirling expansion for the BER, and a log-normal approximation, a quick contraction-mapping can be built to achieve the threshold numerically. The mapping is simple to implement and converges quickly. Numerical simulations verify the validity of the theoretical analysis, and show that the new algorithm performs quite well in scenarios of practical interest.
To overcome the limitations of specific positioning techniques for mobile wireless nodes and achieve a high accuracy, the fusion of heterogeneous sensor information is an appealing strategy. In this paper, the problem of optimal fusion of ranging information typically provided by Ultra-Wideband radio with speed and absolute orientation information is addressed. A new distributed recursive estimation method is proposed. The method does not assume any motion model of mobile nodes and is based on a Pareto optimization. The challenging part of the new estimator is the characterization of the statistical information needed to model the optimization problem. The proposed estimator is validated by Monte Carlo simulations, and the performance is compared to several Kalman-based filters commonly employed for localization and sensor fusion. Much better performance is achieved, but at the price of an increased computational complexity.
Accurate estimation of the position of network nodes is essential, e.g., in localization, geographic routing, and vehicular networks. Unfortunately, typical positioning techniques based on ranging or on velocity and angular measurements are inherently limited. To overcome the limitations of specific positioning techniques, the fusion of multiple and heterogeneous sensor information is an appealing strategy. In this paper, we investigate the fundamental performance of linear fusion of multiple measurements of the position of mobile nodes, and propose a new distributed recursive position estimator. The Cramer-Rao lower bounds for the parametric and a-posteriori cases are investigated. The proposed estimator combines information coming from ranging, speed, and angular measurements, which is jointly fused by a Pareto optimization problem where the mean and the variance of the localization error are simultaneously minimized. A distinguished feature of the method is that it assumes a very simple dynamical model of the mobility and therefore it is applicable to a large number of scenarios providing good performance. The main challenge is the characterization of the statistical information needed to model the Fisher information matrix and the Pareto optimization problem. The proposed analysis is validated by Monte Carlo simulations, and the performance is compared to several Kalman-based filters, commonly employed for localization and sensor fusion. Simulation results show that the proposed estimator outperforms the traditional approaches that are based on the extended Kalman filter when no assumption on the model of motion is used. In such a scenario, better performance is achieved by the proposed method, but at the price of an increased computational complexity.

Mining ventilation is an interesting example of a large scale system with high environmental impact where advanced control strategies can bring major improvements. Indeed, one of the first objectives of modern mining industry is to fulfill environmental specifications  during the ore extraction and crushing, by optimizing the energy consumption or the production of polluting agents. The mine electric consumption was 4 % of total industrial electric demand in the US in 1994 (6 % in 2007 in South Africa) and 90 % of it was related to motor system energy . Another interesting figure is given in  where it is estimated that the savings associated with global control strategies for fluid systems (pumps, fans and compressors) represent approximately 20 % of the total manufacturing motor system energy savings. This motivates the development of new control strategies for large scale aerodynamic processes based on appropriate automation and a global consideration of the system. More specifically, the challenge in this work is focused on the mining ventilation since as much as 50 % or more of the energy consumed by the mining process may go into the ventilation (including heating the air). It is clear that investigating automatic control solutions and minimizing the amount of pumped air to save energy consumption (proportional to the cube of airflow quantity ) is of great environmental and industrial interest.
In this paper, the integration of UWB and UHF technologies for RFID systems is investigated. A fast and energy efficient identification algorithm that makes use of UWB ranging is proposed for ISO/IEC 18000-6C tags. Compatibility with the standard, cooperation between the UHF and UWB technologies and solutions for asynchronism management are the main subjects of our analysis. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees approximately 25% performance improvement in terms of success rate and energy consumption with respect to the ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard.

The development of the internet of things (IoT) has significantly affected the concept of wireless networking. As the number of wireless devices is rising, new medium access control (MAC) and routing protocols have been developed to guarantee end-to-end network performance. When existing layered solutions are stacked together, there might be detrimental effects on the overall network performance. In this paper, an analysis of MAC and routing protocols for IoT is provided with focus on the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and the IETF RPL standards. It is shown that existing routing metrics do not account for the complex interactions between MAC and routing, and thus novel metrics are proposed. This enables a protocol selection mechanism for selecting the routing option and adapting the MAC parameters, given specific performance constraints. Extensive analytical and experimental results show that the behavior of the MAC protocol can hurt the performance of the routing protocol and vice versa, unless these two are carefully optimized together by the proposed method.
Medium access control (MAC) and routing protocols are fundamental blocks in the design of low power and lossy networks (LLNs). As new networking standards are being proposed and different existing research solutions patched, evaluating the performance of the network becomes challenging. Specific solutions that can be individually efficient, when stacked together may have unexpected effects on the overall network behavior. In this paper, we provide an analysis of the fundamental MAC and routing protocols for LLNs: IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and IETF RPL. Moreover, a characterization of their cross-layer interactions is presented by a mathematical description, which is essential to truly understand the protocols mutual effects and their dynamics. Novel metrics that guide the interaction between MAC and routing are compared to existing metrics. Furthermore, a protocol selection mechanism is implemented to select the appropriate routing metric and MAC parameters given specific performance constraints. Analytical and experimental results show that the behavior of the MAC protocol can hurt the performance of the routing protocol and vice versa, unless these two are carefully optimized together.
In this paper, routing metrics for low power and lossy networks are designed and evaluated. The cross-layer interactions between routing and medium access control (MAC) are explored, by considering the specifications of IETF RPL over the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC. In particular, the experimental study of a reliability metric that extends the expected transmission count (ETX) to include the effects of the level of contention and the parameters at MAC layer is presented. Moreover, a novel metric that guarantees load balancing and increased network lifetime by fulfilling reliability constraints is introduced. The aforementioned metrics are compared to a routing approach based on back-pressure mechanism.
The IEEE 802.15.4 communication protocol is a de-facto standard for wireless applications in industrial and home automation. Although the performance of the medium access control (MAC) of the IEEE 802.15.4 has been thoroughly investigated under the assumption of ideal wireless channel, there is still a lack of understanding of the cross-layer interactions between MAC and physical layer in the presence of realistic wireless channel models that include path loss, multi-path fading and shadowing. In this paper, an analytical model of these dynamics is proposed. The analysis considers simultaneously a composite Rayleigh-lognormal channel fading, interference generated by multiple terminals, the effects induced by hidden terminals, and the MAC reduced carrier sensing capabilities. It is shown that the reliability of the contention-based MAC over fading channels is often far from that derived under ideal channel assumptions. Moreover, it is established to what extent fading may be beneficial for the overall network performance.
Designing quality of service (QoS) guaranteed communication protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is essential to exploit the advantages and flexibilities offered by this technology for real-time control and actuation applications. A novel cross-layer protocol that embraces altogether a semirandom routing, MAC, data aggregation, and radio power control for clustered WSNs is presented. The protocol leverages the combination of a randomized and a deterministic approach to ensure robustness over unreliable channels and packet losses. An optimization problem, whose objective function is the network energy consumption, and the constraints are reliability and latency of the packets is modelled and solved to adaptively select the protocol parameters by a simple algorithm. As a relevant contribution, the proposed protocol is completely implemented on a test-bed, and it is compared to existing protocols. Experimental results validate the analysis and show excellent performance in terms of reliability, latency, low node duty cycle, load balancing and dynamic adaptation to the application requirements.
Control applications over wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require timely, reliable, and energy efficient communications. Cross-layer interaction is an essential design paradigm to exploit the complex interaction among the layers of the protocol stack and reach a maximum efficiency. Such a design approach is challenging because reliability and latency of delivered packets and energy are at odds, and resource constrained nodes support only simple algorithms. In this paper, the TREnD protocol is introduced for control applications over WSNs in industrial environments. It is a cross-layer protocol that embraces efficiently routing algorithm, MAC, data aggregation, duty cycling, and radio power control. The protocol parameters are adapted by an optimization problem, whose objective function is the network energy consumption, and the constraints are the reliability and latency of the packets. TREnD uses a simple algorithm that allows the network to meet the reliability and latency required by the control application while minimizing for energy consumption. TREnD is implemented on a test-bed and compared to some existing protocols. Experimental results show good performance in terms of reliability, latency, low duty cycle, and load balancing for both static and time-varying scenarios.
IEEE 802.15.4 multi-hop wireless networks are an important communication infrastructure for many applications, including industrial control, home automation, and smart grids. Existing analysis of the IEEE 802.15.4 medium access control (MAC) protocol are often based on assumptions of homogeneous traffic and ideal carrier sensing, which are far from the reality when predicting performance for multi-hop networks. In this paper, a generalized analysis of the unslotted IEEE 802.15.4 MAC is presented. The model considers heterogeneous traffic and hidden terminals due to limited carrier sensing capabilities, and allows us to investigate jointly IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and routing algorithms. The analysis is validated via Monte Carlo simulations, which show that routing over multi-hop networks is significantly influenced by the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC performance. Routing decisions based on packet loss probability may lead to an unbalanced distribution of the traffic load across paths, thus motivating the need of a joint optimization of routing and MAC.
In this paper, we propose a theoretical setup for evaluation of energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with distributed source coding (DSC) algorithms and packet aggregation (PA). We consider four topologies for DSC and three alternatives for PA, and the system model includes a realistic network architecture with multi-hop communication, automatic repeat request protocol (ARQ), and packet losses. The analysis is carried out in two steps. Firstly we derive the packet loss probability, and then evaluate the average number of packets transmitted throughout the network. This second performance index can then be mapped onto an energy efficiency indicator. The proposed model is specifically adopted for performance comparison of the different coding strategies and aggregation schemes in terms of energy efficiency. Numerical results show that packet overheads have a relevant influence on performance, while the ARQ protocol introduces negligible effects on the energy consumption. Furthermore, DSC topologies with masterslave approach and fragmentation of packets exhibit better performance.

Usually, when a foreign client contacts Piñera del Olmo Canals' lawyers, he/she is confronted with a Spanish legal system, which is unknown to him. There are a lot of legal professionals in Spain of which the foreigners ignore their existence. For example, the "notary" or the "bailiff/Procurador." All clients know that they need a lawyer for specific issues. However, they do not know that in Spain, the Law sometimes imposes that the lawyer works with another professional in the court cases (e.g., Both a lawyer and a bailiff are needed to order claims exceeding 2.000 euros).

'Bring Out Your Lace' in Limerick
Limerick Museum and Archives is helping people discover if they own a precious piece of Limerick's history and heritage.
Bring Out Your Lace', which takes place in City Hall tomorrow (Tuesday 25 August) from 11am to 1pm as part of National Heritage Week 2015, will have experts on hand to identify whether lace items presented on the day are authentic pieces of Limerick Lace.
Limerick Lace is regarded as one of the greatest craft industries in Irish history and is among the most famous and beautiful laces in the world. At its peak in the early 1850s, an estimated 1,800 people were employed in Limerick City making lace. Over many decades, it produced a large output of lace products, from dresses, christening shawls and ecclesiastical robes to handkerchiefs and doilies.
Nora Finnegan, Limerick Lace expert and founder of the Kenmare Lace class, and textile conservator Cliodna Devitt will be attend 'Bring Out Your Lace' to provide expert advice and information to members of the public.
"Limerick Museum and Archives aims to document where lace is held and to help the owners of lace to care for it," explained Jacqui Hayes, Limerick Archivist. "We hope that each piece of lace will be professionally photographed and the owner will also get some advice on the type of lace and some tips on how to care for it."
"For those who simply are interested in lace but don't own any pieces, they are still welcome to visit our open day where they will find lots to interest to them. There will be lace making demonstrations and lace experts available to talk about lace. Our 'Amazing Lace also remains open at Limerick Museum in City Hall," added Ms. Hayes.
Ms. Hayes said Limerick Lace was once a major industry in Limerick and the city gave its name to a particular type of lace which was produced in many parts of Ireland.
She continued: "Limerick Lace is made by hand embroidering onto machine-made net. The result is a very delicate, flowing style. Lace making required a great deal of skill and the tiny stitches meant it was a slow process to create the exquisite lace.
Lace was often used in church garments and was highly fashionable in the nineteenth and early twentieth century."

My doctor was very pleased with my weight loss. My blood pressure was okay as well being a tad lower than it had been in my daily morning home check.
I managed to get some organ practice in before my appointment. After I came home, I walked over to Evergreen Commons and treadmilled. Eileen met me there for lunch at their cafeteria. Of course, it wasn't set up for vegetarians particularly. There is a daily entree and a salad bar. it put me in mind of a school cafeteria with one main meal selection. Eileen said the entree (some sort of chicken with mashed potatoes) was good.
The place was packed. Mostly white people. Old white people. I always wonder who these people are. I have to wonder if they attended Holland Christian High School when it was housed in this building. People are friendly. There was a pianist playing the little baby grand when we came in the room. Mercifully he stopped by the time we had our food and sat down.
After we came home and then drove over to say hi to my Mom, I spent the rest of the day trying to relax for a change. It seemed to work.
Today I don't have too much planned again. I need these days of goofing off. I'm so compulsive that it's easy to fill them up with tasks. I will practice organ but that's the only task for today.
Here's some more of the passages in Van Jones's that struck me.
It's hard for me to realize how recent the calumny of slavery and it's residual presence is in the history of America.
Later in Van Jone's book, he describes being on the scene of the horrific racist murders in the North Carolina church in June 2015. You recall. The white man wanted to start a "race war" and sat and prayed with people he then killed.
Van Jone's describes his own fury and despair.

Q: Using an inverse operator to find a particular solution to a differential equation. I am just learning about inverse operators in solving a differential equation, but I don't understand exactly how they work. For example, find a particular solution to
$$4y''-3y'+9y=5x^2$$
using inverse operators.
The above equation is equivalent to
$$(4D^2-3D+9)y=5x^2$$
Now the way to solve this would be to use the inverse operator as follows:
$$y_p=(4D^2-3D+9)^{-1}5x^2$$
or
$$y_p=\frac {1}{4D^2-3D+9}5x^2$$
The book I am reading uses "simple division" and arrives at a result, but I don't quite understand how that works.
What is a step-by-step method to solve the above problem?

A: Notice that
$$4D^2 - 3D + 9 = \left [D - \left ( \frac{3}{8} (1 - i \sqrt{15} )\right)\right ] \left [D - \left ( \frac{3}{8} (1 + i \sqrt{15} )\right)\right ]  $$
Also note that
$$ \frac{1}{-a( 1 - D /a )} = -\frac{1}{a} \left ( 1 + \frac{D}{a} + \frac{D^2}{a^2} + \ldots \right) $$
Thus to find $y_p$, we simply have to compute ( calling the roots $\lambda_\pm = 3/8 ( 1 \pm i \sqrt{15})$)
$$ y_p = \frac{1}{4D^2 - 3D + 9} 5x^2 = \frac{1}{ | \lambda_\pm|^2} \frac{1}{1- D/\lambda_+} \frac{ 1}{1 - D / \lambda_-} 5x^2= \frac{1}{|\lambda_\pm|^2}\left ( 1 + \frac{D}{\lambda_+} + \frac{D^2}{\lambda_+^2} \right ) \left ( 1 + \frac{D}{\lambda_-} + \frac{D^2}{\lambda_-^2} \right) 5x^2 = \frac{5}{|\lambda_\pm|^2} \left ( 1+ \frac{ \lambda_+ + \lambda_-}{|\lambda_\pm|^2} D + \frac{(\lambda_- + \lambda_+)^2} {|\lambda_\pm|^4 } D^2 \right )  x^2$$
Now you just have to evaluate the derivatives and you're done. (where $|\lambda_\pm|^2 = \lambda_+ \lambda_-$)
Note that I stopped at the second differential operator since $D^3 ( 5x^2) = 0$.

Blood was very important for the ceremonies that Israel's priests carried out. It was essential on great occasions, for example the Day of Atonement (Hebrews 9:7). That was the day when God dealt with his people's sins (wrong and evil deeds).
The blood was essential on many other occasions too. Blood was necessary even for some ceremonies that the Old Testament (the first part of the Bible) does not actually mention (see Hebrews 9:21).
When we read about the religion of ancient Israel, we soon realise the importance of the blood. It was by means of the blood that God saved Israel's people (Exodus 12:13). On that occasion, it was the blood that separated them from other people. It was the blood that separated Aaron's family for their work as Israel's priests (Leviticus 8:23-24). And, unlike the people from other nations, Israel's people never ate food that contained blood (Leviticus 17:10).
All the blood for the ceremonies came from animals that Israel's people gave as sacrifices to God. A sacrifice is a gift that God considers valuable. Leviticus 17:11 tells us the reason why the blood of those sacrifices was important. It is because of the blood that God can forgive.
Perhaps we do not consider it pleasant to read about blood. We may not like the fact that very many animals died for these ceremonies. And we might imagine that God does not care about animals. But in fact, God does care very much about animals (Genesis 1:24-25; Proverbs 12:10; Jonah 4:11). A sacrifice has to be something that God considers valuable. So we can see that the lives of those animals were precious to God.
However, God cares even more about people (Matthew 10:29-31). He sees how, by their evil deeds, they have ruined their relationship with him. He knows that they deserve to die because of those evil deeds (Romans 6:23). But he wants to forgive them (Exodus 34:6-7).
So those animals did not die without purpose. They died so that the people could live. And those animals died so that people could have a relationship with God. Because of their deaths, God forgave his people's wrong deeds.
But now, there has been a sacrifice that is even more valuable than the deaths of those animals. Christ, God's Son, died so that God can forgive all his people's evil deeds. Christ offered his own blood to God the Father, and God accepted it.
We can now see that the sacrifice of animals was just a temporary arrangement (Hebrews 10:1). The reality is the death of Christ. It is Christ's death that saves people. His death frees them from the evil forces that controlled their lives. His death is the reason why God can forgive people. The result of Christ's death is that people can have a right relationship with God.

What's New at TechSoup: Part 2
Amy Hooper
The new year has begun, and we're excited for all that is to come in 2022. Last year, we saw some exciting new products, courses, and programs join our catalog, allowing us to better support our hardworking nonprofit members. Read on to find out about some new arrivals to the catalog from 2021.
This is the second of two posts dedicated to what's new at TechSoup from the past year. Read the first one here.
As part of our effort to make great technology accessible to our worldwide network of nonprofits, TechSoup offers a wide range of training and courses to help your staff and volunteers get to grips with different tools.
As a global organization, we are working to make our online skills training available in as many languages as possible. In 2021, we released a total of 71 courses. This included 18 in Portuguese, 15 in French, 16 in Arabic, and 8 in Spanish.
Two new training tracks launched in 2021 are Data Analytics for Nonprofits and Project Management Basics. Both of these consist of two courses and are designed to get you started on some key aspects of running a nonprofit. To explore these and a wide range of other available topics, have a look at the TechSoup Courses catalog.
Digital Resilience Program
The Digital Resilience Program (DRP) aims to provide NGOs with the support to accelerate their digital transformation journey in a sustainable and scalable way. Over a period of six months, participating nonprofits will undergo a baseline assessment, develop a plan of action, and implement key changes in order to meet their digital goals. The program includes updating hardware and core operational systems, establishing key communication and collaboration tools, and improving IT recovery and disaster recovery plans.
The intended participants in this program are small and medium nonprofits that have begun their digital transformation journey but have more changes that need to be made. With strong executive and board support, nonprofits will be guided in making the most of TechSoup's services, courses, and offers.
This program launched in 2021, and its grant-funded nature means that it's currently only available to a small group of nonprofits. However, we are actively seeking foundation support to expand the program in 2022. Stay tuned for updates, and feel free to contact the team with any questions!
We are working hard on globalizing TechSoup's implementation services. Our implementation services exist in order to help nonprofits move to Microsoft's cloud-based services. After an initial consultation with a TechSoup expert, organizations are supported through the stages of deciding on the right technology, implementing changes, and educating staff on the new tools.
In 2021, Microsoft Office Desktop Installation and Office 365 Email Migration both launched in Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Office Desktop Installation also launched in Australia and New Zealand.
To learn more and schedule a free migration consultation, check out TechSoup's migration services.

The Celtics Get Revenge on the Knicks With a 28 Point Blow Out Win
Patrick Whalen	Game Summaries	 December 7, 2018
Just a little over 2 weeks ago the Celtics suffered an embarrassing loss to the Knicks at home by a score of 117-109. 2 weeks later and since then the Celtics had been on a 4-1 tear which became a 5-1 tear after last nights 128-100 blow out win over the Knicks, the win also now has the Celtics on a 4 game win streak. Even before the game started the Celtics had good news as Jaylen Brown returned to the court after missing 3 games with a tailbone injury he suffered back in Dallas on November 24th. Despite Jaylen returning coach Brad Stevens chose to stay with the line up of Kyrie, Smart, Tatum, Morris, and Horford that had helped the Celtics to 3 straight wins. This now allows the Celtics to bring both Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown off the bench for now until they earn their spots back in the lineup. But until then they could be a lethal combo off of the bench.
In his return, Jaylen was one of the Celtics top scorers as he had his best game of the year offensively with 21 points on 7-10 shooting and 7-9 from the foul line. The Celtics also had many great performances from the starters last night. Kyrie went for 22 points on 9-15 shooting with 8 assists, Al Horford had his best overall game of the year with 19 points and 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Tatum had an efficient game much like Jaylen with 17 points on 7-11 shooting and 3-5 from three. Marcus Morris, Terry Rozier, and Daniel Theis also were in double figures in last nights blow out win. As a team, the Celts shot 53% from the field including these crazy shots (Basketball-Reference.com).

The Celtics defense also stepped in the second half last night holding the Knicks to just 42 points in the second half after they scored 58 in the first. For the nights the Celtics held the Knicks to 39.6% shooting from the floor and 34% from three-point range. Another good sign compared to their last meeting two weeks ago was they didn't allow anyone to really go off on them like Trey Burke, who was out last night, did two weeks ago. Their two leading scored in Tim Hardaway Jr, 22 points, and Emmanuel Mudiay, 17 points, did not shoot above 37% and combined to go 12-34 from the floor including 8-17 from three, Hardaway Jr was 6-13 himself from three. The also did not allow either Noah Vonleh or Enes Kanter to dominate down low which was a very good sign to see with Celtics missing Aron Baynes for most of the game as he left the first quarter after twisting his left ankle.
Overall it was a great team effort for the Celtics last night, especially from Jaylen Brown. Brad sending Jaylen to the bench in his return was the right thing to do in my opinion because it allowed Jaylen to not press as much. Before he got hurt Jaylen still seemed to be forcing shots he didn't need to take, especially this year. Jaylen and Tatum early on seemed to still be in playoff mode from last year where they each were getting 10-12 shots a night with no Kyrie and Hayward. They also seemed to be settling for more pull up twos and contested threes instead of driving and getting to the rim, which is Jaylens strongest part of his game. This benching now allows Jaylen to think about getting back to playing his style of basketball which is using his athleticism to get to the rim and either draw fouls or have strong finishes. It also allows both Jaylen and Hayward to get their confidence levels back before Brad puts them back into the starting line up and with finishes like this one last night, we definitely saw a confident Jaylen Brown on the court.
When you see a dunk like this then you know Jaylen Brown is REALLY back 💥 (@AAANe_MAnews) #AAANortheast pic.twitter.com/mWfzvc6Wyz
This win now marks 4 wins in a row for the Celtics and the second straight by 20+. Up next the Celtics head to Chicago to take on a young Bulls squad on Saturday. Both teams have a case of the injury bug, the Celtics have Aron Baynes, ankle, and Kyrie Irving, shoulder, listed as game-time decisions and the Bulls still have Bobby Portis and Kris Dunn inactive due to knee injuries. Kyrie said post game, "that his shoulder was just in an awkward position on a pass and that he should be ready for Saturday" (NBC Sports Boston). The Celtics will look to see if they can extend this streak to 5 in a row and continue to gain ground on the rest of the eastern conference's top teams as they continue to climb back in the standings after their slow start to the season.

NEWS: Sen. Ossoff's Bipartisan Legislation to Expand Capacity at Port of Brunswick Passes U.S. Senate
Sen. Ossoff briefed leaders on the bill in March
Bill will expand capacity, improve efficiency, and ease pressure on supply chains
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Senate today passed U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff's legislation to expand capacity and reduce supply chain bottlenecks at the Port of Brunswick.
Sen. Ossoff's Port of Brunswick Navigation Channel Improvement Act will make upgrades to the Port's navigation channel to ensure that increased shipping traffic can safely navigate the Port — boosting capacity and helping reduce supply chain bottlenecks.
"Amidst high inflation, I've continued working to ease pressure on supply chains by expanding capacity at Georgia's ports. This week, my legislation to expand capacity at the Port of Brunswick has passed the Senate with bipartisan support," Sen. Ossoff said. "Georgia's port infrastructure supports prosperity in Coastal Georgia, helps make our state a world leader in logistics, and is essential to the continued growth of our manufacturing sector."
Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock co-sponsored the Senate legislation.
The Port is already the second busiest for roll-on roll-off cargo nationwide, and according to the Georgia Ports Authority, the expanded channel would permit newer ships to use the Port, boost efficiency, attract more investment, and create more local jobs.
The Senate passed the bill with bipartisan support as part of this year's Water Resources and Development Act Reauthorization.
"As the busiest gateway in the U.S. Southeast for Roll-on/Roll-off cargo, the Port of Brunswick plays a vital role in the international trade of vehicles and heavy machinery," said Griff Lynch, executive director of the Georgia Ports Authority."The proposed navigational improvements will allow GPA to serve large vessels with greater efficiency and strengthen Brunswick's ability to attract and support Georgia jobs. We appreciate the efforts of Senators Ossoff and Warnock to pass federal legislation authorizing the work."
"The City of Brunswick is a national economic hub, and Senators Ossoff and Warnock are helping ensure we continue to grow. This legislation will create good paying jobs in our community and help take Georgia's economy to new heights. On behalf of Brunswick, I thank them for introducing this important legislation," said Brunswick Mayor Cosby H. Johnson.
"ILA Local 1423 strongly supports Senators Ossoff and Warnock's new legislation. Expanded capacity at the Port will create more good-paying Union jobs and boost economic activity for our city and surrounding communities," said International Longshoreman Association Local 1423 President Kenny Thorpe. "We are grateful to Senators Ossoff and Warnock for their support!"

we had a most excellent weekend in arizona. my awesome sisters threw me a baby shower for family and friends and it was so fun! I haven't had that much fun just catching up with people from my neighborhood, church and family friends in so long.
feel free to revel in envy when I tell you that my sister-in-law made me one of her famous quilts. it is fabulous. she even let me pick one of the fabrics and then she worked around that. she's so clever. and talented. and sweet. and gorgeous. lucky lucky me.
then my mother helped me make crib bedding for the cradle my mother-in-law is letting us borrow. we whipped this scalloped bumper together in about 3 hours so it certainly isn't perfect but nothing in the cradle should detract from the perfectness of a newborn babe anyway. that's my excuse for shoddy stitching. believe it?
david and I also enjoyed some pizza from LGO with some of our favorite friends on earth, ate some café rio, enjoyed a delightful trip to tia rosa's complete with tomatillo salsa and salmon tacos. then we finished off our trip at liberty market – do yourself a favor and go there for their arizona sky panini or best chicken sandwich and cinnamon roll bread pudding. amongst other things, I dearly miss valley cuisine.
and arizona was also kind enough to bestow a very pleasant monsoon storm on saturday morning. it was perfection. the worst part? coming home. that's right – that was worse than the 105 degree temperatures we sweated through. I'm just going to say it – are you ready for it? I'm an arizona girl at heart. though san diego isn't too shabby either.
liz, that quilt is seriously making me consider getting pregnant. definitely one of sarah's best. and i LOVE the scalloped bumper too. and i feel you about arizona. i really do.
I'm glad you had a fun shower, and that quilt is seriously making me consider being excited about being pregnant. Just kidding, I am already. Pretty much. But, Sarah, very nice!
Since my sisters have already chimed in, I'll make this a family affair.
It was so great to see you this weekend! And I love the scalloped bumber - it's really darling! I see nothing "shoddy" about it.
Can I have one of your sister in laws amazing quilts too?! She made this blue chevron quilt that I dream about at night.
It was so good to see you! I wish that I could have stayed longer.
I'm in love with that quilt! It is so darling!
Oh, and when you get a minute (no rush) can you send me the recipe for that veggie pizza thingy that your sister made?
Also, I'm disturbed that your baby widget says you still have 52 days to go. I thought we were closer to the same due date? Mid-October? Please tell me that doesn't add up to 52.
It was so much fun seeing you guys last weekend! I think I am having Liz with drawls though... can you come back? I'm glad you finally admitted that you are an AZ girl at heart-- NOW MOVE BACK so we can do fun mommy things together like I've always dreamed of doing! Parker needs to be close to his cousin. :) He told me in baby language!
I wish I could have been there. I heard it was great fun! Take care this last little bit of time...you're almost there!!!
It all looked beautiful! And there is no shame in loving Arizona. It is woven though out the stitches that bind you and your family together.
Liz! You're so cute. It's true--Arizona's wonderful. The more places I live, the more I believe that. Though it is nice to get to know for oneself.

Johannesburg – President Jacob Zuma will on Tuesday launch the 1038-hectare Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at the cash-strapped Maluti-A-Phofung Local Municipality in Harrismith, eastern Free State.
Zuma will be joined by the Minister of Trade and Industry (DTI) Dr Rob Davies and his deputy, Gratitude Magwanishe, the Premier of the Free State Ace Magashule and several provincial MECs.
Magashule said in a statement that the SEZ would create opportunities for manufacturing as well as a regional and international trade environment with added value chain within the Maluti-A-Phofung Municipality.
Magashule said:"The social and economic benefits, as well as regional development, will be key and will be enhanced by creating a prosperous trade city and functional trade ecosystem, which will enable the beneficiation of mineral and natural resources and attract foreign direct investment".
He added: "The priority sectors for the Maluti-A-Phofung SEZ are automotive, agro-processing, logistics, ICT, pharmaceuticals and general processing".
Davies said the launch of the Maluti-A-Phofung was another significant milestone in the implementation of the department's SEZ Programme, which is aimed at accelerating economic growth and development in designated regions of the country. "The Industrial Policy Action Plan identifies SEZs as key contributors to economic development. They are growth engines towards government's strategic objectives of industrialisation, regional development and employment creation," Davies said.
"The SEZ programme has entered a full implementation phase. This is one of the critical instruments that the dti is using to accelerate industrialisation in the country."

Maluti-A-Phofung Municipality, which includes areas such as Harrismith and Qwaqwa, recently threw a "homecoming" concert for former SABC chief operating officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, in Phuthaditjhaba.
Qwaqwa residents have in recent times gone for periods without water, relying on water tanks deliveries in the area. The tankers then stopped delivering water claiming they were owed payments by municipality.
The SEZ programme is one of the critical instruments which the dti is using to accelerate industrialisation in the country has attracted billions of rand to South Africa.
A number of incentives and benefits are available to ensure SEZs growth, revenue generation, creation of jobs, attraction of foreign direct investment and international competitiveness. These include a preferential 15 percent corporate tax, building allowance, and customs controlled area.

New organization aspires to promote local arts
The recently formed Allen Teen Arts Council allows students to showcase talents in the visual arts, music, and literature.

Jillian Sanders, Editor-in-Chief
With a mission to promote the arts, culture, heritage, and enrichment programs throughout the city, the Allen Arts Alliance recently formed the Allen Teen Arts Council.
"ATAC [is] a great way to meet new people who have similar interests as me and work together to showcase the amazing teenage talent that we have in this area," junior Zoe Kahana said.
On Saturday, Oct. 24 from 6-9 p.m. ATAC will be throwing a community Halloween bash at Blue House Too during Watters Creek's "Bach and the Broomsticks" fall festival. Festivities at the bash will include a costume contest, live music performances by local teen artists, poetry reading, and various other activities.
"Food and drinks will be provided and this is a costume party so all attendees are strongly encouraged to come wearing a costume," junior and ATAC president Nidhi Prakuzhy said. "This is a free event but there will be a donation box for the Allen Arts Alliance."
The group meets periodically on Sundays at Blue House Too, a community arts space, in Watters Creek.
"At meetings we break off into groups based on our artistic interests; like there's a creative writing group, a music group, a visual arts group, photography group," junior Megan Cline said. "You just kind of get with your group and you decide on a project you want to complete by the end of the year and work on it."
Averaging about 10-12 students per meeting, ATAC offers community outreach as well as networking for students.
"I got to meet a couple of people from Allen that are super into writing like I am, and we are really tight now," Cline said.
Jillian Sanders is a senior, 18 years old, and a lover of many things. She loves writing, playing the piano, reading, being outside, Younglife, and choir....

"Use of reproductive technology for sex selection for nonmedical reasons" (2015), by the Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine
In June 2015, the Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, or ASRM, published "Use of reproductive technology for sex selection for nonmedical reasons" in Fertility and Sterility. In the report, the Committee presents arguments for and against the use of reproductive technology for sex selection for any reason besides avoiding sex-linked disorders, or genetic disorders that only affect a particular sex.

"Maternal Stress Responses and Anxiety During Pregnancy: Effects on Fetal Heart Rate" (2000), by Catherine Monk, William Fifer, Michael Myers, Richard Sloan, Leslie Trien, and Alicia Hurtado
In 2000, Catherine Monk, William Fifer, Michael Myers, Richard Sloan, Leslie Trien, and Alicia Hurtado published "Maternal stress responses and anxiety during pregnancy: Effects on fetal heart rate," in which the authors conducted a study on how pregnant women's stress and anxiety affects the health of their fetuses. Previous studies had shown that stress and anxiety during pregnancy could cause fetal abnormalities.

Ethics of Fetal Surgery
Surgeons sometimes operate on the developing fetuses in utero of pregnant women as a medical intervention to treat a number of congential abnormalities, operations that have ethical aspects. A. William Liley performed the first successful fetal surgery, a blood transfusion, in New Zealand in 1963 to counteract the effects of hemolytic anemia, or Rh disease.

Birth Control or the Limitation of Offspring (1936), by William J. Robinson
Birth Control or the Limitation of Offspring was written by American eugenics and birth control advocate William J. Robinson. First published in 1916, the final edition (forty-eighth) was published in 1936, the same year that Robinson died. As a medical doctor and author, Robinson used his influence to promote propaganda for "fewer and better babies," by focusing on contraception. Even Margaret Sanger, another prominent eugenics and birth control advocate, took great interest in this book. Robinson had three goals in mind when writing Birth Control.

"Ethical Issues in Human Stem Cell Research: Executive Summary" (1999), by the US National Bioethics Advisory Commission
Ethical Issues in Human Stem Cell Research: Executive Summary was published in September 1999 by The US National Bioethics Advisory Commission in response to a national debate about whether or not the US federal government should fund embryonic stem cell research. Ethical Issues in Human Stem Cell Research recommended policy to US President William Clinton's administration, which advocated for federal spending on the use of stem research on stem cells that came from embryos left over from in vitro fertilization (IVF) fertility treatments.

William Harvey (1578-1657)
Renowned physician and scientist William Harvey is best known for his accurate description of how blood circulates through the body. While his published work on the circulation of blood is considered the most important of his academic life, Harvey also made significant contributions to embryology with the publication of his book Exercitationes de Generatione Animalium in 1651. In this book he established several theories that would set the stage for modern embryology and addressed many embryological issues including conception, embryogenesis, and spontaneous generation.
Albert William Liley (1929-1983)
Albert William Liley advanced the science of fetal physiology and the techniques of life-saving in utero blood transfusions for fetuses with Rh incompatibility, also known as hemolytic disease. Due to his advances, fetuses too young to survive premature delivery, and likely to die in utero if their Rh incompabilities were left untreated, were successfully transfused and carried to term. Liley was as passionate as a clinician and researcher as he was about his views on the rights of the unborn.
William Keith Brooks (1848-1908)
Biologist William Keith Brooks studied embryological development in invertebrates and used his results as evidence for theories of evolution and ancestral heredity. He founded a marine biological laboratory where his and others' embryological studies took place. Later in life, Brooks became head of the Biology Department at Johns Hopkins University where he helped shape the minds of leading embryologists.
William Smellie (1697–1763)
William Smellie helped to incorporate scientific medicine into the process of childbirth in eighteenth century Britain. As a male physician practicing in childbirth and female reproductive health (man-midwife), Smellie developed and taught procedures to treat breech fetuses, which occur when a fetus fails to rotate its head towards the birth canal during delivery. Throughout his career, Smellie compiled a wealth of information about female anatomy in his writings. He modified medical technology such as the obstetrical forceps, an instrument used to maneuver the fetus during childbirth.
William Bateson (1861-1926)
At the turn of the twentieth century, William Bateson studied organismal variation and heredity of traits within the framework of evolutionary theory in England. Bateson applied Gregor Mendel's work to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and coined the term genetics for a new biological discipline. By studying variation and advocating Mendelian genetics, Bateson furthered the field of genetics, encouraged the use of experimental methodology to study heredity, and contributed to later theories of genetic inheritance.
William Withey Gull (1816-1890)
William Withey Gull studied paraplegia, anorexia, and hormones as a physician in England during the nineteenth century. In addition to caring for patients, he described the role of the posterior column of the spinal cord in paraplegia, and he was among the first to describe the conditions of anorexia and of hypochondria. He also researched the effects of thyroid hormone deficiencies in women who had malfunctioning thyroid glands.
William Emerson Ritter
Robert William Hegner
James William Kitching (1922-2003)
James William Kitching collected and studied fossils of dinosaurs and early humans in the twentieth century. He worked at the Bernard Price Institute for Paleontological Research in South Africa. During the fifty-three years he worked at the institute, Kitching spent eighteen of those in the field uncovering fossils. Kitching recovered fossils of early human ancestors, later called Australopithecines, as well as fossils of dinosaurs and ancient mammals. When he died in 2003, the Bernard Price Institute housed one of the largest fossil collections in the southern hemisphere.
Robert William Briggs (1911-1983)
Robert William Briggs was a prolific developmental biologist. However, he is most identified with the first successful cloning of a frog by nuclear transplantation. His later studies focused on the problem of how genes influence development.


What you think of as the "hearing test" begins with Pure Tone Audiometry. Your hearing levels are measured by presenting your hearing system with pure tones (beeps). We measure how loud the sound has to be before you're aware there is a sound.


Our work in recent weeks has focused on speaking, listening, and reading. The source of these activities was a video about a dog and his owner that definitely pulled at our heartstrings! We learned a lot of vocabulary and had multiple discussions about the events in the video. Follow-up activities involved reading short sentences about the story, and we will next read a longer summary of the plot to help us continue to develop a connection between spoken and written French.
We have been wrapping up our international food unit and preparing vocabulary for our Movie Talk activity in fourth grade French. We have been singing our song for the Halloween rep, and have expanded our repertoire of Pause-cerveaux ("Brain Breaks"). In addition, we have been practicing the larger two-digit numbers, as they are not easy in French!
Right now, we are in the depths of our study of cultural differences in food consumption and preferences around the world. After having looked at photos from various countries, we have compared how much families spend on their meals, and if their food consists of fresh or packaged ingredients. Next week, we will see what student around the world have as options for school lunches! We will do some reading around these topics, and will then get to our first Movie Talk of the year, following an adopted puppy whose eating habits are dictated by his owner and his relationships!
It has been a lot of fun to continue working with these students. It was great to see those of you who were able to attend curriculum night this past week. I discussed my general approach to second language acquisition which can be summed up in two words, "comprehensible input." I also shared a little about what we have been doing in fourth grade.
We have begun the year talking about ourselves, and some of our food preferences. Those discussions will culminate in a "gallery walk," with students writing down observations about their classmates' likes and dislikes. Beginning next week, we will expand our exploration of culinary habits as we see what families around the world eat in a week. This study will also allow us to learn some of the bigger, more complicated numbers. If you'd like to see how this unit rolls out, you can read about it here.

A Leeds Playhouse and Belgrade Coventry co-production presented in association with Rose Theatre
By Nigel Williams
Adapted from the novel by William Golding
In the midst of a raging war, a group of British school children are left stranded after surviving a devastating plane crash. Ralph is voted the leader over outcast Piggy and rule-breaking Jack. As tensions rise and the hunger for power grows, the group divide and become wildly out of control.
Left to fend for themselves, the children are tested to their limits as they struggle for survival in their new and mysterious surroundings.
