...cultural diversity. Such as: - Singing songs in different languages. - Adding foods on the menu from different cultures. - Providing different costumes from different countries for the children to dress up in. - Providing resources and equipment that promote different culture. For e.g. adding multicultural foods in home corner, using multicultural dolls during play time, displaying posters that promote cultural diversity. - Reading stories which include images from different countries. You could use the above examples to discuss why we need to include cultural diversity in early childhood... promoting respect, being inclusive of all, having an anti-bias attitude. - See more at: Assignment 2: 1) Who would you report these issues to?

...inexpensive as to be available in many laboratories. An IR spectrum can serve as a fingerprint for mineral identification, but it can also give unique information about the mineral structure, including the family of minerals to which the specimen belongs and the degree of regularity within the structure, the nature of isomorphic substituents, the distinction of molecular water from constitutional hydroxyl, and the presence of both crystalline and non-crystalline impurities (Farmer, 1979). The interpretation of the absorption spectra of the Source Clays in the middle-IR (MIR) region (4000– 400 cm 1) given here follows those of Farmer and Russell (1964), Farmer (1974a, 1979) and Russell and Fraser (1994). In addition, reflectance spectra in the near-IR (NIR) region (11,000–4000 cm 1), where overtones and combination vibrations occur, are included. These spectra provide information on structural OH groups and H2O in clay minerals (Bishop et al., 1994; Frost and Johansson, 1998; Petit et al., 1999a) which may not be clearly observed in the MIR spectra. Small changes in stretching and bending band positions are additive in the combination bands, thereby making them more readily...

...AP Chemistry Summer Assignment Mr. Ronnenkamp Welcome to SPHS AP Chemistry!! You already have a background in chemistry from your General Chemistry class, but AP Chem is very different. Rather than memorizing how to do particular types of problems, you must really understand the chemistry and be able to apply it to different kinds of problems. AP Chemistry is a challenging course. To succeed, you must keep up with the assignments and be willing to spend time working through the material. Like all AP classes, AP Chem comes with a summer assignment. It is due the second day of class - August 25th - and will count as ½ of a test grade. ALL YOUR ANSWERS FOR THE SUMMER ASSIGNMENT SHOULD BE PUT ON ANOTHER SHEET OF PAPER!!!! We will then have a CLASS TEST on the SUMMER ASSIGNMENT ON 9/1/2015 (depending on schedule)!!! This class test will count as the second ½ of your first test grade. I check my e-mail frequently, so feel free to contact me if you are having problems doing the summer assignment. I can offer help via email. My e-mail address is: ronnenkampd@pcsb.org Please take the summer assignment seriously. Completing the summer assignment will allow you to enter AP Chemistry in August ready to succeed!!!! Each section of the summer assignment is referenced with web tutorials to help you if you have forgotten some of your General Chemistry, but feel free to use any good website. I will also be giving you access to an online textbook. ONLINE...

...Background: John Deere Component Works (JDCW), subdivision of John Deere and Co, was in charged specifically of the manufacturing of tractor component parts. The demand for JDCW’s products had problems due to the collapse of farmland value and commodity prices. By the mid 1980’s, JDCW found that the available excess capacity was increasing, it decided to take advantage of the efficiencies of the newly acquired automatic turning machines by bidding on parts offered from within the country. But ultimately, JDCW only bid successfully for 58 parts out of 275 parts, worse still, the 58 parts were all low volume parts, contrary to its aim to attain the bids that offered the higher volume parts. The failure in its competition for bids made management question about its current costing system. As a result, we have to analyze the current costing methods to determine the validity and to help the company adopt a more reasonable costing system. Assignment Questions: Q3: JDCW was established as the subdivision of John Deere Company during the 1970’s when the demand was increasing. JDCW had been structured to be a captive producer of parts for Deere’s equipment divisions, particularly tractors. During the mid 1980’s, the Gear and Special Products Division of JDCW decided that the complex machined parts would make full use of the excess capacity, then more automated machines developed leading to the increased manufacture overhead costs. As a result, the company changed its production process...

...its green color. The Greek word choros, meaning “green,” is the origin of chlorite’s name. Consisting of negatively charged mica-like (2:1) layers regularly alternating with positively charged brucite-like (octahedral) sheets, the basic structure of chlorites allows for various compositions(Grim,1962). Members are differentiated by substitutions within the octahedral layer and the tetrahedral or octahedral positions of the mica-like layer. The arrangement of hydroxide and 2:1 sheets stacked in the z-direction defines the polytype of chlorite. There are theoretically six possible layer interlayer assemblages in either semi-random or regular "one-layer" polytypes. Of these six polytypes, four have been observed in nature (Partice De Caritat ect. 1993): clinochlore (Mg,Fe2+)5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8, chamosite (Fe2+,Mg)5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8, nimite (Ni,Mg,Al)6((Si,Al)4O10)(OH)8, and pennanite Mn52+Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8. Provenance Chlorite is widespread throughout the world, often found in low- to medium-grade regional metamorphic rocks and as a secondary mineral to mafic silicates in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It is an occasional constituent of igneous rocks, in most cases probably forming secondarily by deuteric or hydrothermal alteration of primary ferromagnesian minerals, such as mica, pyroxene, amphibole, garnet, and olivine (Bailey, S. W., 1988). A ubiquitous product of low-grade metamorphism, chlorite influences a wide variety of rocks of different formation age such...

...Unit 1 Assignment LaTia Walker March 3, 2014 Kaplan University MT302-1 Prof: Maria Minor Currently during these times many employees are finding it hard to find a job let alone keep their current job. Based on our reading, one of the ways business decisions explain deterioration in working conditions for many workers is by “employers trying to get rid of all fixed cost”. It appears they first tried it with employment benefits, and now doing it with jobs themselves (Robbins, S.P, 2013 pg35). It was just not too long ago where it was easier for one to get a job straight out of high school with little to no experience at all, all while having good pay. Nowadays it seems every business is looking for someone who has a bachelor’s degree or higher to be qualified for a job so that you can do well and support your family. To me it seems as if businesses tend to rely more on their bottom line and their current shareholders and little on their employees. The responsibility of a business is not only to their shareholders but to their employees as well. Shareholders do have a sense of loyalty to a company based on the financial interest they have in the company. There are employees that are loyal to the company as well so in fairness the company should be loyal to their employees as well. The reading mentions that “the very nature of corporate profit monitoring is to blame for the discrepancy between corporate profitability and outcomes for workers” (Robbins, S, P. 2013, pg35)...
