...and SEAL: social, emotional, aspects of learning. I will then look at how the school incorporates aspects of faith within the context of children’s daily learning. The school incorporates other initiatives; however, I believe the aforementioned three to be the most relevant to the school’s aims and pivotal to their continued improvement. I will incorporate other sources of information which will include educational literature, publications, government documents, reports, theories and concepts. I have gathered evidence through independent observation and discussion with the class teacher in order to understand more about the impact of holistic needs on children. During my time at school A, I have utilised observation of children to understand how impacts take effect in different contexts. To conclude, I will identify implications that potentially could impact my future development as a...

...Biology Current Events Assignment Omar Patel May 6th, 2014 Scientists Discover Cosmic Factory for Making Building Blocks of Life September, 15, 3013 Zita Martins, Mark C. Price, Nir Goldman, Mark A. Sephton & Mark J. Burchell http://phys.org/news/2013-09-scientists-cosmic-factory-blocks-life.html In the article it states that when icy comets collide into a planet, amino acids are created. These are the building blocks of life and from the amino acids. This means that amino acids can be created anywhere in the world with these conditions. The article also states that a couple of moons of Saturn have the perfect environment for creating amino acids if a comet hits them. The researchers stated that the comets crash into the ground, which create shockwaves that create amino acids. The scientists figured this out by using a special gun that replicates the crash of a comet. This article is related to science/biology because it helps us understand how life first formed on Earth. I think this discovery will benefit everyone around the world equally because a common question usually asked is how the world was created in a scientific sense. Scientists will be very happy with this information because it would help them keep researching for ideas to satisfy peoples questions related to this topic. Sep. 15, 2013 — Scientists have discovered a 'cosmic factory' for producing the building blocks of life, amino acids, in research published today in the journal Nature Geoscience...

...“What does impact mean to you?” My entrepreneurship professor asked us to define the term in a way that related to our personal goals. A few examples of impact that immediately popped into my head included Embrace Innovation, whose low-cost incubator saved 300,000 babies across 22 countries and Doug Rouch’s Daily Table, which sells fresh, low-cost produce to some of the 49 million Americans struggling with hunger. How did their journeys relate to my aspiring career in dentistry? I recalled shadowing Dr. Starns & Wood who volunteered tirelessly on Tuesday nights, spreading their impact on Charlottesville beyond private practice. Considering social entrepreneurship and dentistry, I defined impact as transforming as many lives possible across multiple...

...On February 15, 2013 the small asteroid 2012 DA14 was its closest to Earth. The 50 meter asteroid passed through the gap between Earth and the ring of geosynchronous satellites that orbit earth. Geosynchronous objects orbit around the earth with a period equal to one sidereal day. Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed at about 17,200 miles above the Earth’s surface. The asteroid was discovered in February 2012 by astronomers at the LaSagra observatory in southern Spain. (http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news177.html)( http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news174.html) (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/geosynchronous) An asteroid is a small planet-like body in orbit around the sun. The orbits of some asteroids take them across the paths of the planets. Asteroids are smaller than a planet but larger than a meteoroid, which is a small interplanetary object also in orbit around the Sun. If a portion of a meteoroid or other object survives the entry through the Earth’s atmosphere and reaches the Earth’s surface it is referred to as a meteorite. A meteor, also known as a shooting star, is a streak of light produced by a meteoroid that burns away in the Earth’s atmosphere. When their orbit brings them close to the sun, gigantic balls of ice and rock or comets, form a tail of dust and gas while being heated by the Sun’s rays. Scientists believe that the extinction of dinosaurs, nearly 66 million years ago, was the result of a large meteorite striking what today is Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. In...

...more at ease knowing that like that night, it wasn’t about the numbers involved so much as it was about the message being conveyed. Renate’s story is one that cannot be over looked. To hear first hand, and even second hand is so much more impacting then reading about something in books and through articles. As much as Renate impacted me, she was only a small part of the commemoration. Everything came together and flowed very nicely and I found myself more than willing to stay longer then required. My favorite part was the passion shown by everyone involved. Although I didn’t necessarily understand some of the songs and prayers, it was still powerful to say the least. One thing I will always remember, and the thing that made the biggest impact on me was an elderly man who stood next to me towards the end. This man walked in late and although he never spoke to anyone, he sang and participated, eyes closed, with such an intense facial expression of both passion and remorse. As he walked out in silence, still not speaking to anyone, is when I realized just how much this really meant to people. One of my favorite messages from the Candlelight read along given out was the idea that action is what separates belief from opinions and how beliefs are imprinted through actions. This...

...the one that’s missing you. There’s a full moon coming in through the screened window. There’s a breeze sneaking in as well, but the moon is the more important detail. But the most important detail, by far, is the one that’s missing; you. I can picture you in the moonlight; I can pick out a strand of your hair from memory. I can hear a smile from your eyes; if I close mine. I can almost feel your skin the moment before it touched mine. But that takes concentration. I’d much rather stand here, bathed in the moonlight and trying to clear my head. Trying to make sense out of the craters on the moon; trying to guess at the temperature of those far away rocks. Wondering if they’d be warm to my touch. Wondering where you are. Bob Dylan is playing in the background; I wish he’d shut up. He makes not concentrating difficult. I take another drag from the cigarette I’ve been holding but neglecting to mention. Exhaling, I notice that there are two sets of clouds in the sky tonight- one moving slowly and the other breezing by. I steady my gaze on the moon, and the cloud system that is almost static to its side. The other set of clouds hides and reveals the moon at a pace that’s almost like a pulse. I feel fortunate to witness the equivalent of an interstellar circulatory system. And sorrowful that there is such a thing. That nature lacks creativity and imitates its...

...Clyde Steele Guide to the Universe ASTRO 101 IN Naming the Craters The naming of astronomical objects and their features is accomplished as a thoughtful and time-consuming international effort of the International Astronomical Union. They’re an internationally recognized body that, since 1919, has been in charge of naming features on other worlds within and outside the Solar System. Every feature on every planet and moon in our solar system has a particular theme, for instance, craters on the moon are named for dead scientists, engineers, and explorers. In naming ten of the largest craters on Mercury one has to take in account that the regulations for naming a crater on Mercury is that it should be named after a famous writer or artists. According to IAU rules, all new craters must be named after an artist that was famous for more than fifty years, and dead for more than three years, before the date they are named. Of the first five craters chosen to be named, they should be renamed after famous artist from various periods throughout history. The first painter that was chosen was Gustav Kilmt. Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, and sketches during the late 18th century. From the IAU’s rules and regulations on naming craters, Gustav meets all criteria and has been deceased for nearly a century, so seeing as he hasn’t already had a crater named after...

It talks about family time and how that has been impacted by television use. The article states that family time has been impacted negatively since children watch a lot more versus spending time with their parents. In fact, it even says that American children spend 10 times more watching television, or using other media, than they do spending time with their parents. The article also lists ways to solve this issue of lack of family time and I can incorporate some of those into my paper. Mokhtari, K., Reichard, C. A., & Gardner, A. (2009).

...Jorge Fabela Professor Scott Bulkley ASTR 1 February 24, 2015 Sky Journal Entry 3 Today is February 24, 2015 and this is sky journal #4. The time reads 6:48 p.m. and the whole classroom is going to the observatory. Just before I go in I did this sky journal. The Moon’s phase is waxing crescent and very bright. The location of the moon is 80° SW. The planets that I found were Venus, Mars, and Jupiter again. With a very bright white light Venus is located about 20°-25° SW. Mars as usual this month is really close to Venus just about 1° NE of Venus. Mars location is about 18°-23° SW and blinking a shiny red. Jupiter on the other hand is just rising. The time reads 6:57 p.m. and it’s located about 45° E. The constellations that I found were LEO MINOR, CEPHEUS, and CASSIOPIA. I located LEO MINOR about in the NE sky about 7:01p.m. It’s about approximately 35°-40° degrees NE. CEPHEUS “the weird looking house” is in the Northern sky about 35° N. CASSIOPIA “the big M/W of the sky” was found about 45° NW. Very visible and bright in the sky. Although there were more constellations these ones caught my attention. I got to say the way the moon looked in the observatory was fascinating totally different than the way we see it up at night. With that I must say that the telescope was ginormous and it made me see the moon like it was a cell with all the craters and different shapes. It makes one wonder how did it happen. Well that makes 3 sky journals 7 more to...

...dinosaur era. Proponents of this theory propose that dinosaurs dwindled in number and variety over several million years. An opposing theory proposes that the impact of asteroid or comet caused catastrophic destruction of the environment, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Evidence to support this theory includes the discovery of a buried impact crater (thought to be the result of a large comet striking the earth) that is 200 km (124 mi.) in diameter in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The spray of debris was blown from the edge of the crater. The debris has been found over large regions of North America. Comet enriched material from the impact's fiery explosion was spread all over the world. With radiometric dating, scientists have used the decay rates of certain atoms to date the crater, spray of debris, and fireball layer. Using similar techniques to date the dramatic changes in the record of microscopic fossils, they have found that the impact and the dinosaur extinction occurred nearly simultaneously. Although great amounts of ash suggest that most of North and South America was devastated by fire from the impact, the longer-term environmental effects of the impact were ultimately more deadly to life than the fire. Dust blocked sunlight from the earth's surface for many months. Burned sulfur from the impact site, water vapor and chlorine from the oceans, and nitrogen from the air combined to produce a worldwide fallout of intensely acidic rain. Scientists postulate...

...What killed the dinosaurs Introduction: It is one of the greatest puzzles in paleontology. For more than 150 million years, dinosaurs rule the Earth. They were so successful than other animals groups, mammals included, had little change of taking over. Then, 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs disappeared from the world altogether. Did they meet a quick and catastrophic end, or did they fade away gradually? What happened 65 million years ago? In the search for answers to what killed the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period in the Mesozoic Era, scientists have looked beyond fossils. Geological evidence also holds clues and has led to many hypotheses, working explanations, of how dinosaurs may have become extinct. The extinction mystery is far from a simple “whodunit.” The same piece of evidence is sometimes subject to multiple interpretations. And, as yet, there is no obvious answer, no piece of evidence that strongly supports only one hypothesis while showing that all others are incorrect. So what do we know about dinosaur extinction, and how do we know it. Evidence: Scientific evidence and observations are the building blocks of hypotheses. At first the same evidence and observations may support different hypotheses. As more evidence becomes available, some hypotheses are proven, others are disproved, and new ones are formed. Hypotheses: A dinosaur extinction hypothesis is a testable statement describing...

...stakeholders. This is to ensure a good relationship between them for a continuous success of the firm. Since there are many of them it is important for the managers to prioritize among the stakeholders. As manager, stakeholders can be given priority in several criteria for different type of decision. First, it is to identify the party the most influence decision making. For example, the shareholders are the one have direct influence on the decision making because they have their shares and looking for a project or decision that is worth and profitable for them. Thus the manager must ensure any decision they make will be profitable for the company as well the shareholders. It is important to identify someone from the stakeholder who actually can impact the success of the decision being made, and also who will be impacted by the decision been made. Thus manager should identify and analyse this two criteria to help them to prioritize the stakeholders. That is as mentioned earlier, their ability to influence change outcome and also the extent to which they are impacted by the change. Besides that, their level of support and level of the awareness against our project are also...
