...November 2, 2009, was to correct a possible incursion of an incorrect or out-of-place front driver's side floor mat into the foot pedal well, which can cause pedal entrapment. The second recall, on January 21, 2010, was begun after some crashes were shown not to have been caused by floor mat incursion. In March 2010, at the time of the recall, Toyota was unsure of the cause behind a spate of cars that would speed up without the driver's help. Hybrid’s breaking systems: Prius owners have reported that brakes momentarily fail when driving in icy or slippery conditions, or over potholes. Normally the anti-lock braking system engages and disengages many times a second as the system reacts to the slipping tyres. But - as Toyota puts it - some drivers have complained of "inconsistent brake feel" during slow and steady braking on some surfaces when ABS is activated.The solution involves an upgrade of the software in the braking system, which should take less than an hour and will be carried out for free by official Toyota service centres. Toyota stresses that the cars are still safe to drive and the brakes will stop the car. US safety authorities, however, have said they have received reports of accidents, including a small number of reported injuries.There have been no reports of accidents in Europe. The Japanese auto giant recalled 2.17 million vehicles because of carpet and floor mat flaws that could jam gas pedals. Toyota has recalled more than 12 million vehicles...

...Early Childhood Education LEARNING CENTRES “HONEY BEES READING CENTRE” Introduction What are Learning Centres? The term Learning Centres refers to designated areas of the classroom where students congregate in small groups to accomplish given learning tasks. Typically, students can work independently in these centres, sometimes while the teacher works with a small reading group. Examples of learning centres may include: listening to audio cassettes, playing educational games on the computer, practicing handwriting, writing/editing written works, reading silently, playing imaginatively in the puppet centre, and playing math games with manipulatives. Student work in a given learning centre for a certain amount of time, then rotate to the next one when time is up. Teachers will need to spend a significant amount of time training students on how to behave during centre time, as well as modelling how to complete each of the learning centre activities. This will assure that learning centre time is productive, relatively quiet, and organized. AGE GROUP OF CENTRE AND THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN IN AGE GROUP Four and five year-olds are the age group for which the ‘Honey Bees Reading Centre’ is planned. Children in this age range display several characteristics which can be categorized as cognitive, physical, psychosocial and moral. Cognitively * Enjoy stories and can retell them * Are fascinated by words and silly sounds * Have large vocabulary...

In other words, at home workouts are efficient to plan for when compared to outdoors exercises. For instance, at home workouts put you closer to the kitchen, to the shower and your closet. If you explicitly consider proximity to these vital necessities, you will find that they offer you with profound technical advantages. This article gives you the final tips that are a perfect fit for everyone doing their workouts at home. 1. Buy yourself a mat The first point worth considering before doing the at home workouts is the platform on which you will be exercising on. Although the space at your home may be restrictive, you should make sure that the platform that you are using is ideal for your body fitness.

A report is meant for reading and information, so if a report is not properly put together then these things can happen: * listed with no page numbers then they can be shuffled and get out of order * putting the headings of the columns on every page (if not it is information overload & you will lose you place) * having incorrect information/data * missing one of the who, what, when, or where (software error) * data errors The consequences to these errors are: * the wrong decisions can be made * the data can given or received can be wrong * the outputs are wrong If the analyst can notice most of the errors as he is working on them so that it may be corrected then this can help keep the project of the report going without too many complications. Prototyping is very helpful when working on reports because the analyst is able to structure and refine the report before it is viewed by the mass majority without the consequences of errors. 4. The date does not specify when the report was generated; it does not give a revision date or code for any prior report versions, does not provide any meaningful information, there is not any page number listed, the spacing of the report information does not seem to be in place.

...Abstract Kabir Das : Literature and Communication Literature is the mirror of society and it is the reflection of the age, which it belongs to. Literature of any age and era shows the prevalent trend of the period when it was created and connects at its best to that era. The uniqueness of the literature of Saint Kabir is that it transcends all boundaries and limitations of time and place. In spite of the fact that his literature belongs to the period of 15th century it is still relevant, remembered, quoted and discussed with passion and fervor not only among the connoisseurs of art and literature but also among common man and youth. This article is an attempt to throw light on the various dimensions of Kabir Das’s literature and how it is still effectively communicated and in turn is used for effective communication. This paper contemplates on the varied aspects of kabir’s literature. Kabir’s literature is known for elements of mysticism, spirituality, concept of love, his objectivity in imparting moral education, his attack on vices of human behavior, hypocrisy and materialistic attitude. All these aspects are dominantly reflected in his literary works and are still relevant in today’s social scenarios which are well communicated in the form of his well remembered ‘Dohas’ and poetry. Hence, it is concluded that Kabir’s literature, in spite of being so old and classical is timeless and well applicable and connected with today’s era. His ‘Dohas’ makes...

...Just sitting at the Laundry Mat Kenneth Lewis Trident University International Introduction Ever wash clothes with your spouse as the kids are running around the house making noise and in the way most of the time? A lot of people we do everyday things like this, but they do it from the privacy of their home. Imagine you had to go to the laundry mat and do the same thing you do at home. At a simple laundry mat you would expect to see people washing, folding and drying their clothes, but if you look closer at the fabrics of everyday life you will see a completely different picture through stained glass of the laundry mat window. You have to look beyond the children that make this little room into a play yard. Peering into the glass you see the average American family carve out there existence in this thing we call life. If you close your eyes and open them again you can see a husband and wife working as a team on what seems to be ordinary repetitive family chores only they are now performing them in front of the world with a smile. As the flickering light beckoned beyond the hazy glass to dirty sidewalk below, there laughter could be heard breaking through the door that separated the outside from the inside. Above the humming dryers and the clanking washing machine that is unbalanced as it turned another cycle, there laughter filled the air. Above the outside door you can see the flies drawn to the lights that reaches outside and calls them in masses...

...Solving Proportions MAT 222 Roberta Bledsoe July 21, 2013 Solving Proportions When having to solve for proportions we have a process to go through. First we must use the Extreme-Means property. The first problem, example A., is the word problem about bear population. Putting the word problem into an equation we get b/50 = 100/2. We must solve the equation to find what b will equal. Then we have a second problem, example B., which is Y-1/x+3 = -3/4. We will solve example B. until we get to the linear equation format or an extraneous solution. Both examples of proportions will be solved in the same process though the problems themselves seem very different. A. To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula, conservationists captured, tagged, and released 50 bears. One year later, a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears. What is the conservationist's estimate of the size of the bear population? B=bear population The variable b will be used to identify the bears in population b/50 = 100/2 I used the ratio equation to solve for b. (2)(b)=(50)(100) I crossed multiplied the two fractions. We multiply the two extremes 2 and b. Then we multiply our means 50 and 100. 2b=5000 B=5000/2 To isolate the b I divided 2 on both sides. B=2500 After diving the 5000 by 2 we see that b then equals 2500. B. Y-1/x+3 = -3/4 This is the proportion will be solved into linear equation format. -3(y-1)= 4(x+3) The...

...4 Mat Review 1: Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling Roberto C. Piscoya Liberty University Summary The book Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling by Mark R. McMinn is a synopsis of several approaches in counseling sessions and how patients deal with their everyday life after each session, in order to create a more accurate description of how counseling actually affects the life of each patient. One of the main topics of the text deals with how essential it is for counselor to be conscious of their own personal spiritual life and how knowledgeable they are. This reminds me of the quote that says "You must love yourself before you can love others" since you cannot help others unless you yourself are prepared for the task mentally, physically and spiritually. One crucial component McMinn (1996) explains in the text about counselor-patient relationship is trust. Once the patient begins to trust the counselor that is when real progress is made. It makes sense because most people are not willing to talk to strangers about their problems, but they would be able to open up to someone they trust and feel safe with. In order for counselor's to reach this important milestone in patient-counselor relationship they must create a safe haven for the patient in which they do not feel judged or looked down upon. The author explains how important is to confront a client hand to hand with trusting in order to get a successful relation between...

...July 23rd 2013 MAT 104 Professor's name Zomorrodian Mohammad Student's name Donald Davies 1. The salient fact about the problem is that in this set of playing cards, there are (10) cards with numbers in a set of four (4) each. These numbers include 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10. There are four people playing a guess game, Andy, Belle, Carol and myself. Since Andy drew the first question card and was asked if can see two or more players whose cards sum up to the same level, and his answer was yes. Belle picked the next question card that asked how many different odd numbers he can see out of the odd numbers. He said all of them. Andy suddenly declares that he knows what he has. He said 'I have a 1, a 5, and a7'. Since no one can see their own cards, but can see the cards of the other three players, I was able to know the cards I have based on the question cards Andy and Belle drew. Solution There are five even numbers and five odd numbers in this set of playing cards. The even numbers are 2,4,6,8,and 10. The odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Since Andy picked up a question card that asked him if he can see two or more players whose cards sum up to to the same value, and he said yes. I came to the conclusion that I have one of the set of cards that has the same value with another player's cards. I can see Andy's cards which summed up to 13, Belle has a total of 16 and Carol has a total of 12. The...

...WEEK 1 ASSIGNMENT: Solving Proportion MAT222: Intermediate Algebra Page 437 #56.) Bear Population: To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula, conservationist captured, tagged, and released 500 bears. One year later, a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears. What is the conservationist’s estimate of the size of the bear population? x500=1002 2x2=500002 x=25000 In this problem we are seeking to find a total amount. We must use the information we have to locate this amount. To solve we utilize the proportions formula. For this formula we use the total amount divided by the known tagged amount. Once we plug in the given amounts along with the “x” variable, we can begin to solve. First we cross multiply then finally we divide. The outcome is the total amount. Page 444 #10.) Simplify: y-1x+3=-13 3y-1=-1x+3 3y-3=-x-3 y=-x3 In this problem we have two fractional equations better known as a proportion. Next we cross using the extreme means property. The next step is to appropriately distribute on both sides. In order to solve for “y” we must move everything away from “y”. We start by subtracting, and then we divide. The final results are the equivalence of “y”. Upon going back to the top of problem#10 to check to see whether the solution is correct. I was unable to obtain a clear defined solution due to the negative fraction. However it is also unclear as to whether the problem is extraneous. One observation...
