Teaching decimals can sometimes be a difficult concept to teach and like many topics, students can often possess a number of misconceptions in this area. This lesson has been designed to address many of these misconceptions such as whole number thinking, longer is larger and shorter is larger. It introduces students to decimats and is designed for use with middle and upper primary students.
The lesson introduces students to the decimat where they begin to make sense of decimal size and decimal place value as well as use fractional language to describe decimals. A decimat is a proportional model that represents the size of decimals as part of a whole. It provides students a visual representation and the way the lesson is designed, allows students to consolidate their values as a decimal, fraction and representation.
The decimat consists of a large rectangle representing one whole. This is then broken up into ten parts representing tenths. Each tenth is also broken up into ten parts representing hundredths and each hundredth into thousandths.
The students then shade various parts of the decimat to show their decimal values.
When using decimats, students are always encouraged to write the value as a decimal as well as a fraction in order to consolidate the understanding of decimal place value.
Before introducing students to the decimats game, assign them the decimals comparison test in order to determine what, if any, misconceptions students have about decimals. It is important to iron out the common misconception of longer is larger and both the test and the task will work together to help students overcome this.
You may introduce the decimats to them slowly by only providing them with one representing tenths, or tenths and hundredths and once they have shown competence with these, you can then introduce the full decimat. When students are doing the task, it is important for them to complete each turn with a different colour in order to ensure that they can keep track of each turn. This will also make it easier for both the students and the teacher to check the work for any errors. Ensuring that the values are written both as a decimal and as a fraction is also extremely important because it establishes the link between the decimal and its equivalent fractional value.
After confidence has been established, encourage students to begin further dividing their tenths into hundredths and thousandths to continue to build understanding.
The Decimats game is designed to be used for an entire lesson and not just as a warm up. The more it is played over a decimals unit, the greater the likelihood that they will more easily make sense of decimals. Once the students are familiar with this model, they can then use it to compare the size of decimals by shading blank decimats and comparing the area.

Ask a Terrier: What's Bugging Budleigh?
It also got me thinking about recent video of a spider the size of a dinner plate—a dinner plate!—observed in the Amazon rainforest of Peru. It blatantly killed and ate an opossum as though perfectly aware of YouTube.
Now I'm worried that legions of dinner plate-sized spiders are rapidly reproducing, then headed our way. And frankly, there ain't a Wall big enough!
As you're comfortable with a certain level of spiders, any advice on where I should hide?
I spend a lot of time close to the ground and know that all spiders are the size of dinner plates if you get close enough. Conversely, coyotes are tiny when they're waaay over there. Giant scientists refer to this phenomenon as, "I don't get it either." Then they avoid uncomfortable questions by moving their research to the Peruvian Amazon rainforest where cell phone reception is poor. And spiders are the size of dinner plates.
Essential equipment for rainforest scientists is a precisely calibrated dinner plate.
Among those scientists hiding in the rainforest was the University of Michigan team of biologists that encountered this rare, gigantic spider of the infraorder Mygalomorphae (Latin for, "Are you shitting me?") This appears to be the first documented case of a spider eating an opossum, which while historic didn't brighten the opossum's day. The scientists admit they were lucky to come across this encounter. Also lucky they were not opossums.
This might not be politically correct to say since I don't know what a "politically" is, but, You Go, rare, gigantic Peruvian Mygalomorph!
Out of fear, ignorance, and revulsion, many Giants disparage spiders as though they were coworkers. This might be due to spiders' extravagant number of appendages, although frankly they've no more legs than two dogs running side by side. I think it more a matter of the way spiders strut. Especially the big ones – like they're top of the card on a WWE pay per view.
Nobody wants a piece of that. Certainly not opossums.
As a predator myself legally recognized in 23 states and the District of Columbia, I can respect, even admire spiders – from the gigantic Mygalomorph due to its cunning, down to the common household arachnoid because they're so tasty.
But be warned, amigo: I, too, am the size of a dinner plate.
As a foodie, I cringe to see "dinner plate" associated with "spider," but Budleigh, you are most enlightening. As to tasty arachnids, better you than me!
Even though I'm not an opposum and I don't play one on TV, I'm cowering behind the furnace. Oh wait, I live in a Maine forest, not a rain forest. I should be good to go. But ewww!
I've found dinner plates to be a mite crunchy for my taste, unless they're the paper variety, and nothing is less tasteful then paper dinner plates. Now, a spider the size of an iron skillet, especially if the skillet is full of fresh liver and onions — that's a spider I'd want to be friends with.

Base-of-the-ridgeline
It would be a mistake to assume that 'nothing happened' in the area that represents the Base-of-the-Ridgeline, indicated by the yellow line, even though there are no 'classic/artistic' petroglyphs or sites yet discovered. This period, estimated to be one and a half days, appears to have been a running battle with no clear-cut beginning or end to skirmishes between any specific individual groups of Attackers or Defenders. There is a petroglyph in the Deer Valley Rock Art Center, Phoenix, Arizona, which provides some details covering this period of the battle.
* Note the terrain setback at the right side of the yellow line.
There are three naturally occuring setbacks along the battle route. These setbacks appear to have been manufactured and incorporated into the battlefield replica.
The Boot
From the air, an observer can see the resemblance to a Boot. This boot provides a very specific location, within the Complex, which can be identified in some rock faces and glyph symbols.
Heel-of-the-Boot
The heel of the Boot does not play much of role in the rock faces and glyphs within the Complex, but it did provide warriors on the run a quick reference navigational aide to avoid following the setback, which would have wasted valuable time and energy. The setback from the calf-of-the-boot to the heel-of-the-boot is incorporated into the scaled replica section referred to as Wash Basin by Wilson Turner.
Toe-of-the-Boot
The Toe-of-the-Boot plays a significant role in one or more glyphs within the Complex and the Deer Valley Rock Art Center.
Toe-to-Toe Setback
The Toe-to-Toe setback is a series of arroyos with walls eight to twelve feet high, not concussive to fast travel. An assimilation of this setback is incorporated into the scale model replica of the battle route that terminates at Inscription Canyon. Thousands of workers using handheld stone hoes, baskets and woven mats could have accomplished the assimilation, by relocating several hundred thousand cubic yards of dirt.
Again, an Ariel view of the terrain provides the resemblance of footwear, but this time, the reduced size and shape causes the landscape to resemble an old shoe. This shoe is not prominent in the Complex petroglyphs, as is the boot. There may be several reasons for this difference; among them may be a lack of knowledge or memories regarding the activities in the vicinity, the terrain feature did not figure into the defensive strategies as much as other considerations, such as the major fighting that took place as consolidated forces on both sides' attempted renewed attacks and counter-attacks.
Shoe Heel
Like the two previous setbacks, the Shoe Heel Setback is also incorporated into the replica; at the section, Wilson Turner named Inscription Canyon-East. The shoe is not as propionate as the boot, but the toe of the shoe is referred to by this author as Hinkley Gate, because it is the only 'high-speed' access to the Tortoise Head Gap, a more easily defendable position than the open ground upon which the defenders had been unsuccessfully attempting to fight.
Consolidation and Reorganization:
The 'Shoe' or Hinkley Gate is the location where the decimated Main Forces of the defenders and the retrograde Rear Guard defending the escape route on to the mountain began to consolidate their remaining forces and reorganize for a counter-attack. The assessment of a planned consolidation and reorganization is supported by a detailed glyph in the Deer Valley Rock Art Center, which provides indications that a meeting took place between the leaders of the Main Forces and the Rear Guard prior to a massive counter-attack, at Hinkley Gate, against the right flank of the pursuing enemy forces. The glyph suggests that until the Main Forces rounded the Boot, there were two groups of defenders, one large, one small. However, after rounding the boot, the two groups appear to disappear and/or merge into a single unit, as they continued up the mountain. This counter-attack could be considered successful; in that, it successfully stalled the enemy pursuit and permitted the surviving Main Forces to reach their target location, a narrowing chokepoint, referred to by this author as Tortoise Head Gap. It also permitted the bulk of the surviving Rear Guard to pursue a parallel course, which would draw more enemy forces away from the Main Force of defenders within the gap; and, facilitate a second consolidation of surviving defenders near the base of the Spur.
The second consolidation was also successful, but it is necessary to backtrack and study the Rear Guard at Lost Site, near Murphy's' Well and the initial consolidation of the surviving members of the two defending forces. (See also: Secondary Attack Route)

Wisconsin Lawmaker Plans Fantasy Gaming Regulations
Bill Would Regulate Gaming, Including Fantasy Sports
By Laurel White
Wednesday, February 1, 2017, 5:00pm
ListenDownload
A Wisconsin state lawmaker plans to propose regulations for fantasy gaming in the state, including fantasy sports sites.
Rep. Tyler Vorpagel, R-Plymouth, said he is finessing a proposal very similar to one he sponsored last year, but did not pass.
Fantasy gaming is a type of online gaming in which individuals build virtual sports teams made up of professional players. Individuals can wager money on their team's success.
Under Vorpagel's plan, gaming sites would face a series of regulatory requirements to operate in Wisconsin. The bill would also prohibit gaming for individuals less than 18 years old.
A pair of anti-gambling advocacy groups are sounding the alarm about the proposal, calling it a tactic to legalize online gaming in Wisconsin.
"If it's passed, it's going to represent the largest expansion of gambling in state history," said Lorri Pickens, spokeswoman for Citizens Against Expanded Gambling. "You're literally opening up an internet gambling outlet in every house, and every dorm room and certainly every smart phone in Wisconsin."
Citizens Against Expanded Gambling is hosting community events around the state to spread the word about the bill.
Vorpagel said people are already using online gaming sites, so there should be protections in place.
"I think it's pretty clear that people can play now, and this is really to have common sense protections for people who do enjoy playing," he said.
Vorpagel said the bill will also provide companies certainty that they can legally operate in the state. He doesn't know when he'll introduce the bill this session.

Thanks to the collaboration of citizens, the industry, catering professionals and governmental bodies, since 1998 have recycled as much glass as it would take to travel from earth to the moon 11 times.
If you would like to consult the official data segmented by period of time and geographical area, you can access the statistics below.
(1) During 2018 , a total amount of 840,361.28 tons of glass has been collected from bins in Spanish towns.
(2) Apart from that, due to other collaborative actions of Ecovidrio, a total amount of 53,567.06 tons of glass has been collected from other sources (glass which was not collected by the municipal collection).
The recycling chain is the process that is activated with every glass packaging we put in the green bin.
In this way we give infinite new lives to glass packagings!

It's ages since I last joined in with the Gallery but I always love seeing everyone's take on the weekly theme. I snapped this shot today and, when I saw the theme for this week is sun I knew I had to share it.
Is there anything more lovely than a baby enjoying the garden in a sun dress in the sunshine? Little Miss loved her time in the garden today. I'm keeping her out of the sun a lot but this was first thing, before it got too hot.

Can a major satellite failure cause cell/internet/tv to go down?
1 Post By CoffeeCup
Thread: Can a major satellite failure cause cell/internet/tv to go down?
rockzmom
Daughter has an major paper to write an she needs to create an emergency situation. It can be either real or she can make one up. It has to deal with the different levels of government: local, state and national and how they would respond to the emergency.
What their various functions and powers would be?
How does the structure of federalism hurt or help in responding to the emergency?
How would the response to the emergency be different if the powers of government were not divided by federalism and separation of power for example, dictatorship?
I mentioned to her that I remember something happening back the late 90's with a satellite going down and all the pagers and cell phones went down. She liked that idea and wondered if it could happen again and if it did, would all the TVs go out now too as the stations are all now broadcasting in digital and not over the air. That changed here in the US back in 2009. And what about the Internet?
So, my tech friends... would it be possible for:
1. A satellite to go out and take cell phones down?
2. A satellite to go out and take cell phones and tv down?
3. A satellite to go out and take cell phones & internet down?
Or some other sort of emergency like this that she could use for her paper?? And if so, can you provide some details??
I only speak two languages, English and bad English.

1. Internet was created at 60-s as DARPAnet. It was designed to survive in a global nuclear war.
2. Cell phones doesn't depend on satellites yet.
3. Were local tv broadcasters lost satellite signal they would be able to use old VHS instead. The later could start the world digital rights war, though.
P.S. I don't think that absence of TV is an emergency. There is nothing worth to watch anyway.

The only way we had to get information was radio. That was how we learned about services available and what was happening.
The TV is important as they broadcast information as to what is happening during a disaster. What is open, what is closed. Where to get help and services.

Oh how exciting! Right up my alley - sort of... (the emergency part anyway).
She should look up NIMS (National Incident Management System). This should help her with understanding how the different levels of government respond in an emergency.
What subject is your daughter doing?
Keep me posted!
My suggestion would be to go with a disaster that is potentially small, but gets out of control. For example, a forest fire in California. Then she could talk about escalation in governmental response - as the situation gets worse and worse.
Also, the issues involved with timing. When is the right time to implement "local plan X" etc etc.
One point to make is that the United States federal structure is rather complicated. Internationally, emergency plans are generally simplified because when they are implemented, a lot of people have never seen them before. The federal structure makes it difficult to come up with a simple plan.
Or more money has to be invested educating first responders before a disaster hits.
I have a million ideas now.

I have strong doubts that one satellite lost would cause shutdown of the Internet, TV and cell phones altogether. Mostly all the connections has either multiple satellites support or ground cable (optical, digital or whatever else) support.
By the way if it would still be the cause to lost all the connective possibilities it would need some external influence to destroy the satellite (such as an roaming asteroid for example). While there is enough our own human activity to make any sort of disaster. Let's consider a popular trend such as flashmob activity. Imagine that people would organize a flashmob when all the dwellers of a big city (let's say New-York or San Francisco) would switch off all the electricity in their houses off and on synchronously at the very same second. Since the power consumption is extremely high at the moments when a device is switched on or off it (in theory) can cause the total blackout for electrical power city wide supply. As a result you can lost cell phones connectivity, internet and TV altogether.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
So, this article from July... it is not completely valid or what?
Four ways the Internet could go down - CNN.com
When you think about Web surfing, you probably don't worry about what's happening on the surface of the sun 92 million miles away. But you should. Solar flares are one of our most serious threats for our communication systems.
Consider satellite failures. One afternoon in 1998, the Galaxy IV, a $250 million satellite floating 35,000 kilometers above the planet,suddenly spun out of control. The main suspect is a solar flare: the sun was acting up at that time, and several other satellites (owned by Germany, Japan, NASA and Motorola) all failed at the same moment.
The effects were instant and worldwide. Eighty percent of pagers instantly went down. Physicians, managers and drug dealers all across the United States looked down and realized they were no longer receiving pages. NPR, CBS, Direct PC Internet and dozens of other services went down. It is estimated that in recent years at least 12 satellites have been lost due to the effects of space weather.
But it's not just satellites that we have to worry about. When a massive solar flare erupts on the sun, it can cause geomagnetic storms on the Earth. The largest solar eruption recorded so far was in 1859. Known as the Carrington flare, it sent telegraph wires across Europe and America into a sparking frenzy.
Since that time, the technology blanketing the planet has changed quite a bit. If we were to get another solar flare of that size now, what would happen? The answer is clear to space physicists and electrical engineers: it would blow out transformers and melt down our computer systems. In a small disruption in 1989, an electromagnetic storm arrested power throughout most of Quebec and halted the Toronto stock market for three hours.
A major solar event could theoretically melt down the whole Internet. What earthquakes, bombs, and terrorism cannot do might be accomplished in moments by a solar corona.
Given our dependence on the communication systems of our planet, both satellite- and ground-based, this is not simply a theoretical worry. The next major geomagnetic storms are expected at the peak of the next solar sunspot cycle in mid-2013, so hang on tight.
What about this article Grid Failure in 2012?
"It is midnight on 22 September 2012 and the skies above Manhattan are filled with a flickering curtain of colorful light. Few New Yorkers have seen the aurora this far south but their fascination is short-lived. Within a few seconds, electric bulbs dim and flicker, then become unusually bright for a fleeting moment. Then all the lights in the state go out. Within 90 seconds, the entire eastern half of the US is without power."....

Very Cute diogen!
Hey coffee cup (or others)... I recall you have been able to see Auroras from where you live. So what about the possibility of something like this happening again and being able to take out modern day communications?? Something like a Low-latitude auroras: the magnetic storm of 14 –15 May 1921?
The 14 –15 May 1921 aurora was observed from Europe, across North America and the Caribbean, and in the Pacifc as far west as Australia. From observations in England, Chree (1921) judged the most disturbed period of the magnetic storm to be from 0000 to 0800 GMT (UT) on 15 May, with the subinterval from 0300 to 0730 UT being particularly active. This subinterval corresponds to local times from 2200 (14 May) to 0230 (15 May) on the east coast of the United States, 1900 –2330 (14 May) on the west coast, and 1300 –1730 (15 May) in Melbourne, Australia.
2.3. Effects on telegraph, cable and wireless: Effects of the storm on communications were widespread and severe. In New Zealand (Gibbs, 1921), for example, signals at all radio stations were very erratic, telegraph lines suffered from violent fluctuations of current, and unusual interference was experienced at certain telephone exchanges.
Overall the disturbances were of greater magnitude and more far-reaching than had previously been observed in New Zealand. In the United States telegraph service was affected to an unprecedented extent, such that on the 14th service virtually ended near midnight on lines from the Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi (New York Times, 15 May 1921). In one instance it took an operator nearly an hour and a half to transmit 150 words from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to the New York Times. Wireless signals from Berlin, Germany and Bordeaux, France, however, were strengthened. The storm was reported to have "blown out fuses, injured electrical apparatus and done other things which had never been caused by any ground and ocean currents known in the past". It was anticipated that ships would have to drag up submarine cables to repair the damage (New York Times, 17 May 1921). The storm was reported to have burned out a telephone station in Sweden, and probably to have contributed to a fire in a New York signal tower. French telegraph lines were also affected, and "seemed possessed by evil spirits". The Central New England Railroad station in Brewster, NY was destroyed by a fire which originated in the telegraph. The telegraph operator said that "he was driven away from his instrument by a Hare of Fame which enveloped the switchboard and ignited the building". In the western United States telegraph communication was disrupted in Denver, Colorado; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Francisco,
California; Seattle and Spokane, Washington; Winnemucca, Nevada; and Helena, Montana. Cable and telegraph lines to Alaska were completely out of commission for a time (Lyman, 1921).
ok everyone... so I finally found the answer to my daughter's question... yes it is possible and FEMA & the Department of Homeland Security have created a presentation about it, yet I am not smart enough to understand it!!

So in 72 hours of a "G5" storm, we are all in big trouble?

A: If you just inspect your inputs, you can see that not every image covers the area you're working in equally.  Some points are masked, and sampleRegions drops any points that contain masked pixels.

If you really want to go this route (you probably don't, since it's hard to work with features that have an unequal number of properties), you can use reduceRegions with a first reducer instead of sampleRegions.
var sample_sen1 = sen1.reduceRegions({
  collection: gedi_sample,
  reducer: ee.Reducer.first(),
  scale:10,
})

Another option is unmasking the inputs with some nodata value, but that has similar issues (ie: you still can't pass that to a classifier as training data).

College students take martial arts to keep safe on campus
It's unfortunate, but attacks on college students, whether on-campus or off, is a common occurrence. This can be a scary proposition, especially for female students who don't always travel in groups and in many instances, can find themselves walking alone at any point in the day. This is one of the reasons why current students and those preparing to enroll have begun taking up martial arts training.
According to a report from ABC News affiliate KEYT-TV in Santa Barbara, California, Tamara Hansen, a student at Fresno State University, has been studying martial arts since her freshman year at the school. Her primary goal was to be able to protect herself while away from home.
Since she's been taking classes, Hansen told the news outlet that she's now much more confident in her ability to be able to react in a threatening situation that would ultimately keep her safe. She also revealed that in many instances, many people will panic and not know what to do in these situations. This moment of hesitation can be detrimental and lead to unfortunate outcomes. This underscores the importance of her martial arts training.
"When somebody fights back, usually not all the time, but usually that kind of scares [the attacker] off," Chris Ruiz, who serves as Hansen's instructor at Santa Maria Martial Arts where she trains, told the news outlet. "Is it going to work 100 percent of the time? No, it will not. But it'll just give them the confidence to change the way they present themselves, how they walk, and even how they talk in public so that they don't make themselves an easy target."
Students at the University of Georgia receive martial arts training
In a report from The Red and Black, the University of Georgia's student newspaper, the school's karate club and the chief of the on-campus police department, partnered to train students in self-defense. Given a recent string of armed robberies that have taken place in Athens, many of the students taking the classes find them beneficial.
Spanning just three sessions, the last of which is scheduled to take place, April 4, students are not only given statistical data related to the safety of Athens as a community, but also tips on how to avoid threatening situations and not become a victim.
While martial arts is not always about being trained enough to win a fight, being instructed on how to avoid dangerous situations in the first place is also valuable.


I've come to the conclusion that our inability to engage in civil discourse is a greater threat to our Constitution, our democracy, Christian values, and our lives then all of the guns that have been used to commit senseless murder. Our battle ought not to be against guns themselves but against the violent culture in which we live that devalues human life and disrespects the other core values upon which our nation was founded. Sadly much of this violent discourse and disrespect for human dignity and the value of life comes wrapped in a cloak of false Christianity.
As a case in point, I recently came across a meme posted on a Facebook group called "Nation In Distress"". There are apparently a bunch of gun enthusiasts who are radically passionate about their Second Amendment rights. I know nothing about the organization so I won't speculate about their origins, connection to NRA etc.
The meme had a photo of David Hogg who is one of the Parkland Florida high school students who has been a major voice for gun control since the shooting there. The text on the photo reads "If this man came to your door and demanded you give up your guns what would you do?" Here is a link to that post.
I got 2 "likes" and 2 "loves" as well as a supportive reply comment from a friend of mine but no one else from the page in question responded to my message.
Today the meme appeared in my timeline again probably from a like or a share and I began reading through several of the other replies. It's sickening to wade through the comments. First of all let me say as I'm writing this there are 114,000 comments, 22,963 shares and 46,000 reactions to the original post. So it's a little bit difficult to wade through all of them and obviously I did not.
From my unscientific incomplete survey of the responses I would say perhaps 5% of them took my position that the young man is not trying to take your guns that he's only advocating for common sense regulation. Some of these suggested that Mr. Hogg and his friends be treated with compassion and understanding because they had been so affected by such a tragic incident. One of them, although a bit condescending, suggested he was suffering from PTSD and pitied him. At least it indicated some amount of compassion or empathy.
I will be generous and say another 15-20% were kind enough to say they would ignore him, slam the door in his face or just laugh. Maybe 5% more were dismissive personal attacks saying things such as "He's not a man he's a boy". One that I found most ironic said "I would tell him he's too young to have a gun." The boy in question I believe is 17 so technically that's correct but I wonder if he would've said the same thing if he was 18 considering in Florida you can own such weapons at age 18.
I found it interesting that I did not find anyone who said "I would call the police because someone was trying to steal my lawful personal property".
However the vast majority of replies advocated violence against this unarmed young man. The viciousness and volume of those kinds of responses were what discouraged me and shocked me the most. I was especially disappointed to see one such reply from a friend.
On the news I had seen stories about the numerous attempts to discredit the leaders of the #NeverAgain movement and the March for Our Lives rally. I was dismayed to see people engaging in these attacks. So far what I have seen on the news about these personal attacks has either been unfounded or absolutely proved incorrect. If you're only response to a political opponent is to attempt to discredit them rather than to engage in a logical support of one's own position or in a logical attack on the opponents position (rather than the person) then that does not serve your own cause very well.
Yet these kinds of attempts to personally discredit political opposition are pretty much par for the course these days and although it disappoints me and disgusts me I can understand that's what people do when they don't have logic on their side. So I wasn't that upset that such ridiculous tactics were being employed.
I had heard there were death threats against these kids but had not personally seen them in the way that I saw them on this particular Facebook post. That really affected me to see how easily these people's first response was to advocate violence.
I suppose that the appropriate response is to send a note to the FBI to warn them that there are a large percentage of 114,000 comments on this particular message that are advocating gun violence against unarmed citizens. My fear is that someday one of these nut-jobs will actually pick up their AR 15 and go shoot some unarmed teenager carrying a protest sign. And then there will be all of the controversy saying "Why didn't somebody report this person when they were advocating violence on Facebook" Fortunately we don't have "thought police" in this country. Even the Florida shooter who posted on YouTube that he wanted to grow up to be a school shooter really wasn't actionable even though it could have been taken more seriously. It's not reasonable to expect the FBI to wade through hundreds of thousands of comments on this one of what are no doubt numerous similar Facebook posts and to track down all of the individuals who have threatened violence.
I think the one that set me off today was someone who brought up the Scripture quote from Luke 22:36 which says in part "sell your cloak and buy a sword". This particular passage has long been used as sort of a biblical confirmation of the Second Amendment right to bear arms. I've heard people say it is biblical proof that it's okay to carry a gun under the concept that guns are the modern-day versions of a self-defense weapon like a sword.
While the person who quoted the Scripture did not appear to be among those who was advocating violence, this alleged Christian chose to use Scripture to defend the right to bear arms rather than to use Scripture or Christian doctrine to denounce the threats of violence that were rampant in this message thread.
That particularly upset me. Even though this particular person was not among the advocates of violence, I'm confident that many of those who were advocating violence would probably describe themselves as Christian warriors with divine support for their position.
* [22:38]It is enough!: the farewell discourse ends abruptly with these words of Jesus spoken to the disciples when they take literally what was intended as figurative language about being prepared to face the world's hostility.
A few verses later when one of the apostles cuts off the ear of one of the Roman soldiers attempting to arrest Jesus, Jesus tells them to put away his sword and he heals the injured soldier. Luke 22:49-51. This doesn't bode well for the interpretation that somehow violence is the answer.
While the quoting of Scripture in a way in which I disagreed was the trigger that caused me to respond, I knew better than to try to argue Scripture with someone. I respect those who can read the same passage and come to a somewhat reasonably different interpretation than the one which I hold.
Instead it prompted me to respond in such a way as to suggest what I believed would be a more Christian response that I would've hoped someone in this thread might have offered. So I posted the following comment.
Let's say for the sake of argument that this person did come to your door and ask for your guns. He's not doing that. He's never advocated taking those guns away from you. Let's also say for the sake of argument that I disagree with him (although I don't). The vast majority of the people responding to this message have advocated violence against an unarmed person. Not one of you has said "I'm so sorry that you and your friends had to suffer the senseless murder of your classmates but I respectfully disagree with you and hope that at some point you can begin to heal, to find peace, and to respect those of us who differ with your political positions. I disagree with your proposed solutions to the problems of senseless gun violence. I pray that no children will have to experience what you and your classmates have experienced. May God bless you and may you know the peace of Christ." That's what I would do if I disagreed with him and if he did something like come after my guns (which he is not done). But the vast majority of the people replying to this message have not suggested they would behave in such a manner. Instead they have threatened violence against an innocent unarmed young man. One of you said "read the Bible". I do. That's why I would respond in the way I have suggested. Also not one person has responded to my previous comment that suggested that these teenagers were only suggesting that we enforce the part of the Second Amendment that says "well regulated". What part of well-regulated don't you understand?
The amendment itself speaks of regulation as an axiom presupposed as part of the discussion of the right to bear arms. It ties this right to bear arms to "being necessary to the security of a free State". I fail to see how adding reasonable common sense regulation on weapons violates the Second Amendment. Does the unregulated access to deadly weapons secure a free state or make it more unsecure?
Historically an obvious motivation for the Second Amendment was so that the people could rise up against an unjust government authority. The British had confiscated the weapons of ordinary people thus diminishing their ability to rebel against that unjust authority. One of the ironies of this debate is that one could argue that the Second Amendment would ensure the right of black people to take up arms against racist police who are gunning down unarmed innocent civilians as a matter of course. I'm not advocating that in any respect whatsoever because I'm an extremely nonviolent person. But a strict constructionist view of the Second Amendment would say that the kind of abuses that African-Americans are suffering at the hands of racist government run police forces are exactly the kinds of issues for which that amendment was written. I doubt many Second Amendment advocates would agree.
The fact that this amendment precedes the Second Amendment tells me that they considered it of higher priority. It tells me that they valued civil discourse, peaceful assembly, petitioning of the Government for redress of grievances as more important than the ability to take up arms against an unjust Government.
Isn't that what these children are advocating. They are speaking their minds. They are making use of the free press. They are peaceably assembling. They are petitioning the government for redress of a grievance. That is at the core of our American heritage, our democracy, our founding principles, our Constitution, our civil society, and our Christian values.
I don't have the answer to the issue of gun violence. These kids don't either. But I fail to see how further violence or advocating such violence, especially against innocent teenagers, is an appropriate response either. If the members of this particular Facebook group and of Second Amendment advocates in general expect to have their voices heard and respected and to have their opinions given serious consideration then it is not enough to defer from calling for violence. They must denounce those who advocate violence as well. Anything less hurts their own cause, hurts our Constitution, hurts our society, destroys the reputation of Christianity and its values, and threatens democracy itself in ways far more dangerous than these tragic shootings.


MECHANISM OF BREATHING EPUB DOWNLOAD - Belle PDF.
Human respiratory system - The mechanics of breathing: Air moves in and out of the lungs in response to differences in pressure. When the air pressure within. Boyle's Law describes the relationship between the pressure (P) and the volume (V) of a gas. The law states that if the volume increases, then the pressure must. In this essay, we provide a brief review of the state of knowledge of the mechanics of breathing at the time the Division of Lung Disease (DLD) of the National.
Therefore, the contraction and relaxation of certain muscles during breathing causes movement of the lungs, changing the volume of air within the lungs.
Therefore, when the lungs expand increasing the volume of air within them, mechanism of breathing declines. When the pressure of the air outside the lungs is greater than the air inside, air will rush into the lungs, and vice versa. Inspiration Inspiration allows air to be moved into the lungs and requires the contraction of various muscles: The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract When the diaphragm contracts, it flattens, pressing down on the abdominal contents and lifting the thoracic cavity.
This leads to an increase in the volume mechanism of breathing the thoracic cavity.
The muscle of diaphragm contract which lowers the diaphragm. As a result the size of thoracic cavity increases as well as the lungs expand simultaneously. As the lungs expand, the air pressure inside the mechanism of breathing decreases.
In order to balance the air pressure, air rushes from atmosphere into the lungs through air passage.
The process of inspiration is active, as it needs energy for muscle contraction. If oxygen saturation falls, mechanism of breathing accelerates to increase the volume of Oxygen inspired.
This also occurs when lactic acid is released into the blood following high-intensity exercise.
Regulation of breathing Respiration is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which enables us to alter our breathing without thinking about it. Mechanism of breathing autonomic nervous system consists of two branches, the sympathetic nervous system the pedals and the parasympathetic nervous system the breaks.
At rest, we inspire approximately ml of air per breath and on average we breathe times per minute. The volume of air mechanism of breathing breathe in or out per breath is known as tidal volume, the volume of air we breathe in or out per minute is known as minute ventilation.
Our minute mechanism of breathing is calculated as follows: During inspiration breathing innerve impulses are sent via the phrenic and intercostal nerves which stimulates the inspiratory muscles, the external intercostal and diaphragm, causing them to contract, this stimulation lasts for approximately two seconds, after which, the inspiratory muscles relax and expiration occurs.
The force required to maintain inflation of the lung and to cause airflow is provided by the chest and diaphragm the muscular partition between chest and abdomenwhich are in turn stretched inward by the pull of the lungs.
The lung—chest system thus acts as two opposed coiled springs, the length of each of which is affected by the other. Were it not for the outward traction of the chest on the mechanism of breathing, these would collapse; and were it not for the inward traction of the lungs on the chest and diaphragm, the chest would expand to a larger size and the diaphragm would fall from its dome-shaped position within the chest.
The role of muscles The respiratory muscles displace the equilibrium of elastic forces in the lung and chest in one direction or the other by adding mechanism of breathing contraction.
During inspiration, muscle contraction is added to the outward elastic force of the chest to increase the traction on the lung required for its additional stretch. When these muscles relax, the additional retraction of lung returns the mechanism of breathing to its equilibrium position.
Contraction of the abdominal muscles displaces the equilibrium in the opposite direction by adding increased mechanism of breathing pressure to the retraction of lungs, thereby further raising the diaphragm and causing forceful expiration. This additional muscular force is removed on relaxation and the original lung volume is restored.

Stephen is a clinically focussed psychologist, passionate about the rehabilitation, health and wellbeing of stroke and brain injury survivors, and interested in factors that affect quality of life in these populations, such as loneliness and social isolation.
Stephen obtained a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Durham in 2009. After working as an Assistant Psychologist for a charity providing vocational and community support for brain injury survivors, Stephen started his PhD in Cognitive Neuropsychology at Durham in 2010, completing this in November 2014.
Stephen's PhD explored the use of monetary rewards on eye movements in neuro-typical human participants extending previously held knowledge regarding the effectiveness of rewards as a tool for behaviour change in neuro-typical populations and the application of reward-based training for sufferers of visual field deficits such as hemianopia.
From 2014 to 2018, Stephen worked at Durham University as a postdoctoral researcher developing, disseminating and conducting research using an app to help compensate for visual loss associated with stroke.
Stephen's involvement with the development and implementation of rehabilitation paradigms for stroke survivors with visual loss has led to question how factors such as motivation, competition and goal-setting can be manipulated to improve patient outcome. At best these psycho-social factors in rehabilitation are poorly evidenced and at worst, non-existent. Stephen's research aims to understand the interaction between concepts such as competition, collaboration, motivation, reward and goal-setting in order to apply these findings to patient populations.
Following a stroke or brain injury, it is not unusual for individuals to be left with impairments of varying severity, all of which impact an individual's self-esteem and identity, which in turn hinders social connections and engagement, placing these populations at greater risk of loneliness. Stephen is also interested in understanding and alleviating loneliness in these populations.

Resources for workers impacted by COVID-19 response
Efforts to halt the spread of COVID-19 are creating immediate economic hardship for many working families.
Minnesota employers slashed payrolls after Gov. Tim Walz issued emergency orders temporarily shutting down restaurants, schools, movie theaters and other spaces where contagion was likely to occur.
As of last Friday, over 204,000 Minnesotans had applied for unemployment insurance benefits, flooding the state's website with such a high volume of traffic that the agency today rolled out a new process limiting who can apply on certain days of the week based on Social Security number.
Unions, meanwhile, have been busy advocating for broad health and economic protections for workers during the pandemic response, while also scrambling to connect impacted members with support they need.
Twin Cities worker center CTUL, which advocates for people working in low-wage industries, has compiled a "Know Your Rights" list with information on access to safety equipment, earned sick time and other protections during the COVID-19 emergency.
The Saint Paul Labor Studies and Resource Center, the nonprofit arm of the St. Paul Regional Labor Federation, has compiled a evolving list of resources that may be available to help people make ends meet during the public-health crisis.
Unemployment Insurance can provide immediate, emergency relief for many workers impacted by COVID-19, including people who have been laid off or who have seen their hours reduced. Gov. Tim Walz moved quickly to streamline UI benefits during the crisis.

Suppose someone in another European Union member state – say, Bulgaria – owes a friend of yours £3,000. He says that he is going to do everything he can to avoid your friend getting his money. You could tell your friend about the worldwide freezing injunction available in the courts of this country. You could tell him that Bulgaria may assist your friend's action by granting their own domestic injunction against the debtor pursuant to article 31 of the Brussels Regulation. Or you could just be realistic and tell him that, for the sake of £3,000, he is priced out of the international injunction market. Perhaps he should just let it go. After all, life's not fair.

Stephanie Frappart, the first woman to rule the world of men
Lucinda Lima Dec 01, 2022 0 Comments
It will be the French Stephanie Frapart first wife To referee a men's World Cup match in the match between Germany and Costa Rica on Thursday 1 December. The Frenchwoman is one of three women selected from among thirty-six field referees for the World Cup, along with Rwanda's Salima Mukansanga and Japan's Yoshimi Yamashita. Three more are on the assistant's assistant list.
world 2022 In Qatar is a logical continuation of meteoric rise What does the career of Stephanie Frappart, 38, know. The first female referee in the French second division in 2014, then in the men's first division in 2019, in the European Super Cup in August 2019, then in the Champions League, and in the French Cup final, on May 7. As FIFA announced on Tuesday 29 November, they will continue to write history on Thursday at the home stadium.
from now on Well established in the French landscape and European arbitrator, she had served as the fourth arbitrator arbitrator During two meetings in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup: Mexico – Poland and Portugal – Ghana. Until then, she had to be content with refereeing world matches in… FIFA video gameincluded in its latest version. Waiting to catch up with virtual reality on Thursday, for the first time in history.
"It is a real pleasure and honor for us women to work with men. for the success of the World Cup"They have been sneaking high performances for several years," Salima Mukansanga recalled at the start of the World Cup, greeted Italian refereeing legend Pierluigi Collina at the start of the tournament.

"for us, They are the only official rulers. And this is the message I addressed to them: 'You are not here because you are women, you are here because you are rulers in FIFAThe Chairman of the World Body Referees Committee added.
In the footsteps of pioneer Bibiana Steinhaus
Their appointment is a consequenceA long process that started several years ago, which started with appointing women to some of FIFA's senior and youth competitions," added the head of the Referees Committee, expressing his hope that "in the future, the presence of women referees in men's competitions at a high level (will) be seen as a norm." And not the exception."
In the major leagues, he was the major German Bibiana Steinhausthe first referee in the Bundesliga between 2017 and 2021. In September 2017, at the whistle of Hertha Berlin Werder Bremen, she became the first woman in football history to officiate a match in the first professional league in Europe.
Presence of women in managing matches It's still exceptionalEven at an amateur level. For example, in France there are only a thousand of them, ie 4% of the ruling shareAccording to the figures of the French Football Federation. Stephanie Frappart's rise is the culmination of a campaign launched by the French Football Federation in January 2019, a plan to professionalize elite referees.
The latter provides for "increasing available human and material resources Female employeesAnd to enhance their preparation, as well as to develop a system of compensation, in order to provide them with the best conditions for the practice of arbitration.

TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese swimmer Rikako Ikee, who won six titles at last year's Asian Games and was considered a strong medal contender for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, said on Tuesday she had been diagnosed with leukemia.
The 18-year-old was named Japanese Swimmer of the Year last month after her record-breaking exploits in the Jakarta pool.
"I was feeling ill and urgently came home from Australia, underwent testing and the diagnosis was leukemia," Ikee wrote on Twitter.
The diagnosis will deprive the world junior 50 meter freestyle, 50m butterfly and 100m butterfly champion of the chance to race at the senior world championships in Gwangju, South Korea later this year.
Ikee, who swam the fastest time in the world in the 100m butterfly and second fastest in the 50m butterfly last year, said she would miss Japan's swimming trials to focus on treatment.
"I am going to take some time off and focus on treatment and as soon as possible I want to show an even stronger Rikako Ikee," she added.
Only North Korean shooter So Gin Man, who won seven golds and a silver at New Delhi in 1982, has won more titles at one Asian Games than Ikee.
Ikee, whose gold medal haul was the most for a female athlete at a single Asian Games, also picked up two relay silvers to match So's record tally of eight medals.
Winning all six of her gold medals in record times in Jakarta propelled her onto the world stage and made her a major name in Japan.
Coming home sixth in the 100m butterfly at the Rio Games as a 16-year-old, Ikee had been expected to compete for medals at Tokyo 2020 but must now focus on getting healthy before thoughts turn to the summer showpiece in 528 days' time.


Are you having consistent issues with nozzles clogging on your glue applicators?
Verify your inline and tank filters are clean. A little time in preventive maintenance will go a long way in preventing unplanned and costly downtime. Over time contaminants will form in the adhesive tank and hose, break off and flow to the applicator heads. Both the tank filter and the inline filters can catch most of the debris and reduce clogging of the nozzles.
Remember for inline filters, the smaller number mesh size means less restriction. Generally, you want more restrictive mesh on smaller diameter nozzle orifices and less restrictive on larger size nozzle orifices. If unsure which filter mesh size you need, please call us and we can assist.
Don't be the one who cost your company thousands of dollars in downtime by neglecting to change glue melter filters!!!!


When was the last time you manually checked your oil? If your car is anything like mine, I let it tell me when I need an oil change or anything else for that matter. I don't pounce until the dash lights up.
Unlike my car, your company's security firewalls most likely doesn't come with a light that alerts you to its needs. Beyond checking that the firewall is on/active, how do you test your firewall for accuracy?The goal is to keep your company safe. Envision a great firewall draping an invisibility cloak over your network. It keeps you safe from hackers and their malware. But how do you know if the firewall is actually working?
The good news is there are several ways to test your firewall.
The internet is full of free resources to check your firewall. Most of these free tools run scans against your IP address. These scans check for file sharing, port/services, messenger spam, and browser disclosure.
These scans should identify anything suspicious that stands out significantly. Beware, unless you know how to check, the DIY style of testing can be duped by sneaky malware. Free scans think everything is clean when malware is disguising itself as a non-threat.
Testing your firewall with software or through your firewall vendor is a very attractive avenue. It could be Software-as-a-Service through a seller, or a one-time use software scan. Both scan your firewall from outside your network to see what ports are open to the world. The scan looks for common ports that are usually left open for file sharing or remote connection. These ports tend to be the easiest to hack.
The scan will let you know what it found, and then you can adjust as needed. This is probably the best way to test your firewall if you don't have an internal or outsourced IT department. It's a more complete scan, but of course, it also costs more.
Bonus: Vendors may have what's called "ethical hackers." Ethical hackers break into your system (with your permission) to test for vulnerabilities. They can replicate hacker steps, producing great insight to your vulnerabilities.
The best way to protect your system is from the inside out. If you're working with a managed IT service provider (MSP), firewall management and testing should be part of their standard network security services.
Your IT provider will have best practices that eliminate most of your firewall's vulnerabilities. Tests are performed after configuration, manually checking open ports on the firewall. If you'd like, your managed IT provider can then run other tests using vendors or software. Again, this costs more, but your industry or company's standards may call for this.
Bonus: Managed IT service providers can also protect your company internally. While DIY, software/vendor firewall testing looks outward in, your IT provider can block inward out as well. Such as blocking certain sharing apps, streaming, social media, etc. from being accessible.
Checking your firewall often is a must. And while there are many ways to test it, it's important to explore the best way to support your company's needs. If you don't know where to start, that's okay. Speak with your IT service provider about your options and what they're currently doing to protect and support your system.

Here we have a json Array, i need the data corresponding to the attribute label, but my script allows me to get only the first one in the array but not the four others(I can have the others by changing the index in my script but not the fifth at the same time).
the first one :
"label": "Cosmebio"
the four others:
"label": "Concours des vins Elle à Table 2017 - Or"
"label": "European Organic Agriculture"
"label": "Ecocert - Cosmétique Écologique"
"label": "Triman"
picture of my script:enter image description here
var lesparams =params + '&limit=' + limit + '&next_page=' + next_page + '&ts=' + Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000000) + 1);
  var url='https://apis.alkemics.com/public/v1/products?'+lesparams;
  var content =UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
  if (content.getResponseCode() ==200) {
    var retour =JSON.parse(content.getContentText());
    next_page=retour.next_page;
    var data=retour.data;

    for(i=0; i<data.length;i++) {
      var produit=data[i]; // Un produit au format JSON
      var line=[
        produit.isLabeledBy[0] != null? produit.isLabeledBy[0].isConceptualizedBy.label:'',

      ];

      produits.push(ligne);
      total=total+1;
    }
  }
  else {
    Logger.log('Error in GET /contents/{contentid}')
  }

Can someone help me improve the script ?
Thanks

A: I believe your goal is as follows.

*

*From your reply of All the values corresponding to the attribute Label : "label": "Cosmebio" , "label": "Triman" "label": "Ecocert - Cosmétique Écologique" .. and your question, you want to retrieve "Cosmebio" , "Triman", "Ecocert - Cosmétique Écologique" .. from your showing data.

*In your situation, from your script and your showing data, it supposes that the value of content.getContentText() from your API might be {"data": [{"isLabeledBy": [### your showing data ###]},{"isLabeledBy": [### your showing data ###]},,,]}.
If my guess is correct, in your current script, produit.isLabeledBy[0] is used in each loop. By this, only the 1st element of "isLabeledBy" is retrieved. I thought that this might be the reason for your issue of but my script allows me to get only the first one in the array but not the four others.
In this case, how about the following sample script?
From:
var data=retour.data;

for(i=0; i<data.length;i++) {
  var produit=data[i]; // Un produit au format JSON
  var line=[
    produit.isLabeledBy[0] != null? produit.isLabeledBy[0].isConceptualizedBy.label:'',

  ];

  produits.push(ligne);
  total=total+1;
}

To:
var data = retour.data;
var result = data.map(({isLabeledBy}) => isLabeledBy.map(o => o.isConceptualizedBy?.label || ""));

*

*In this modification, the result value is returned as each element of data of an array. It's like [['Cosmebio','Triman','Ecocert - Cosmétique Écologique','European Organic Agriculture','Concours des vins Elle à Table 2017 - Or','Cosmebio'],,,]. If you want to retrieve the result as a 1-dimensional array, please modify it as follows.

*

*From
  var result = data.map(({isLabeledBy}) => isLabeledBy.map(o => o.isConceptualizedBy?.label || ""));

*To
  var result = data.flatMap(({isLabeledBy}) => isLabeledBy.map(o => o.isConceptualizedBy?.label || ""));

*Or, if you want to put the result value to one column, please use
  var result = data.flatMap(({isLabeledBy}) => isLabeledBy.map(o => [o.isConceptualizedBy?.label || ""]));

Note:

*

*This modified script supposes that you can retrieve the values from your API. Please be careful about this.

Shula says Newton ready to take big step forward
CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula believes Cam Newton is ready to take a big step forward entering year three, providing he can manage the ups and downs that come with the job.
Newton has shown that he has the physical skills to be an elite quarterback.
Now, Shula wants to see him take a step forward emotionally, specifically when it comes to handling adversity.
"Probably the biggest thing for him is maintaining that balance," Shula said. "Because everything around you during the football season is going to be up and down."
At times TV cameras have caught Newton moping on the sidelines and even teammate Steve Smith has called him out in the past for sulking on the sidelines.
Newton wasn't at the team's rookie minicamp this weekend, but has said in the past he needs to control his emotions and become a better team leader because he knows his teammates are watching him.
"The more you can continue to stay on an even plane and lead the group of guys around you, the more effective you are going to be as a quarterback," said Shula, who added that Newton has been one of his favorite players ever to coach.
Managing Newton's emotions is just one of Shula's responsibilities as he prepares for his first season as offensive coordinator with the Panthers.
He has to find a way to create more balance on offense and a way to keep a crowded backfield happy.
The Panthers have two former first-round draft picks in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, as well as another proven back in Mike Tolbert. On top of that, the Panthers drafted Oregon running back Kenjon Barner in the sixth round to work as a scat back.
"It's our job to know each player and what he does best and put him on the field doing what he does best," said Shula, who was promoted to offensive coordinator after Rob Chudzinski left to become coach of the Cleveland Browns.
It is a bit of a struggle when you're trying to get all of those guys involved. The number one thing is make first downs and keep the ball. ... you do that by having a good mix."
Along with improving the overall balance of the offense, Shula is also looking to establish more continuity on the offensive line.
Of course much of Carolina's offense is centered around Newton, who has thrown for 7,920 yards and 40 touchdowns and run for 1,447 yards and 22 touchdowns in his 32 starts for the Panthers.
Shula said his focus will be on making sure Newton continues to progress in his decision making ability.
"We want him to make quick decisions — and the right decisions — and get the ball out," Shula said. "That helps the receivers and the offensive line and keeps people off of him. I think he's gotten better each year. I feel better about him now than I did last year. You can't substitute anything for the experience he's gotten. The ups and downs. You are going to be better because of it. As we feel like we have guys surrounding him that are poised to have really good years."
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said part of the reason he promoted Shula to offensive coordinator was because of Shula's relationship with Newton and he wanted didn't want to affect the continuity on offense.
Rivera said he spoke recently with a number of veteran players and they like Shula's approach to the offense.
"The big thing is now that he's had an opportunity to look at the guys and use it to the best of his ability," Newton said. "I think going into our third season and Cam having the type of offseason he has this season is going to be really exciting."
As for the offense itself, Shula said Newton will still be used as a ball carrier but wouldn't say how much the team will use the zone read option that Chudzinski used so frequently.
Newton carried the ball 127 times as a rookie and 126 times last year.
"You would be foolish to say you're not going to use it," Shula said. "We'll do things differently to keep things off balance."
