...Setting The occupation of putting together a puzzle takes place at the group tables and group carpet inside the classroom. Within the classroom there are three tables that are surrounded by eight chairs on all sides. The tables are located in the center of the classroom and many occupations take place there. Along with putting together a puzzle, the children make arts and crafts, play with Legos, and eat breakfast and lunch at the group tables. Another location for putting together a puzzle is the group carpet. This space is specifically for large carpet puzzles. Other occupations that take place at the group carpet include building blocks, playing with dolls, and group time. Contextual Factors Environments influence what behaviors are appropriate,...

...Egg cup holder First of all, I clamped the acrylic in a bench vice with two pieces of wood either side of it just to make sure it would not scratch the acrylic. The acrylic that I used was rough around the edges so using flat file I Cross filed to get rid of any saw cuts and draw filed it to get rid of any scratches made from the cross filing until the scratches were gone all around. I then got wet and dry paper and used grade 1200, 600 and 400 grits to make the surface finish smooth and shiny, it also gets rid of any dirt and grain left after the filing from the edges. I slowly brushed my fingers across the edges to see if the surface finish was smooth I left the protective plastic on the acrylic so I could mark out the centre of the 4 sided shape, then I used the pillar drill to cut out the circle on the Acrylic. Health and safety is very important in the making stages so I made sure I was wearing my apron and goggles so I could protect my clothes from any spillages such as the water from wet and dry and also protect my face from any bits of acrylic or wood chips that could fly out during the drilling. After the drilling, I used a template to mark out where I needed to bend the acrylic to actually form the shape off an egg cup holder. I used a strip heater to bend the acrylic, I placed the piece of acrylic on the heater where I marked out the line and kept flipping the piece of acrylic every few seconds so the acrylic didn’t melt. I quickly removed the acrylic and...

...three very important steps in making chicken parmesan: preparation, cooking, and transfer to a plate. First, you should go to the supermarket to get some groceries. You should buy cooking spray, bread crumbs, fresh parsley, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, eggs, milk, flour, tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese and boneless chicken breast cutlets.

In another bowl, whisk the 2 eggs and 1/2 cup milk together. In a third bowl stir together 2 cups flour, and a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Dip each piece of chicken, 1 piece at a time, in flour, shaking off excess, then egg, then bread crumbs, shaking off excess. Now, you are done with the preparation. Now, we are going to cook it. First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Then, place breaded cutlets in a glass baking dish and spray on each side with cooking spray, about 5 seconds per side.

...had observed in each classroom with each other. When I walked into the preschool classroom of Livonia Little Tots the children had just arrived at school. The students were hanging up their coats, saying goodbye to their parents, and finding an activity to play with before the day would officially begin. Some of the children were putting puzzles together, others were playing the game “Ants in the Pants,” and others were cutting fun shapes out of construction paper. They participated in these and similar activities for about twenty minutes while the teacher was preparing for the morning “circle time.” While the students were permitted to play with, however, and whatever they wanted to, the students at the traditional classroom were asked to use their inside voices rather than being allowed to speak in any level of voice. The classroom environment of the traditional preschool seemed to stimulate learning due to the abundance of activities available to the students. During the morning play time the children were given the opportunity to explore many different things, like the play kitchen area, and the art area, and putting puzzles together. The physical classroom environment had artwork done by the students on the walls as decoration. There also were springtime seasonal decorations on the wall to brighten up the room as well. The decorations did not appear to be too distracting, which promotes and enables a stimulating learning...

...Cynthia Gervais Professional Development 18 Jan 2015 THREE ELEMENTS OF SELF-CONCEPT When you begin a puzzle, most of us start working on the border pieces before beginning the process of putting the inside pieces together. Without that foundation the inside pieces would not hold together correctly. I see myself as this puzzle. Although I am not completely broken, I am still looking for those last few pesky pieces of the border that take forever to find. Physically I know that I am overweight, however I do not let that define who I am. This is a challenging process and through each piece found, I have learned that I am a survivor and who I am. I am learning what my personality is, and not what others think I should be. I am discovering my inner voice and that it is okay for me to speak my mind, to have an opinion. So I can look at you today and honestly say that the woman who sits before you today is not the same woman who sat before you even yesterday. As each piece of the puzzle is placed together, this beautiful scene starts to take shape. I do not have a picture of what I want my “ideal” self to be at this point in time. I want to continue on this path of discovery. I am not worried about losing weight or being the super model everyone else wants to be, or what society portrays as perfection. I look in the mirror and I see who I am today, knowing where I was before, I am comfortable with myself. Maybe, as I complete my puzzle, I will have an idea of what my ideal...

...However with all of this free distribution, there can be some open sourced software that might have license-based restrictions or redistribution. These restrictions are not overwhelming though. The software can be re-distributed for free, after a developer has modified the code, as long as credit is given to the original manufacturer. FOSS also allows for the code to be modified and then re-compiled, so it can be sold as a complete project. Some examples of this type of re-distribution is Red Hat Inc. Red Hat Inc. takes different pieces of code, pieces it together into a really nice and user friendly interface, and then Red Hat re-distributes this re-compiled code as Red Hat Linux. There have many different flavors and iterations, but as long as Red Hat gives credit in the development to the originally creator, there is no problem with Red Hat re-distributing this OS and sell it for a profit. The code is still free, only Red Hat has complied it together and put an interface on it, so it might be used by everyday users. With this example of Red Hat, even their re-complied, distributed operating system can be re-modified and then re-distributed again. Fedora Linux and Mandriva Linux are both derivatives of the Red Hat Linux distribution. This situation...

...be done in the classroom could work individually or by help from classmates. This is a public elementary school in an inner-city setting. The task is an in-class assignment to solve out a puzzle made by the students. The students will have a piece of paper that has a printed image of the classroom photo. The students will cut the pieces of the puzzle through the bold lines then will put it back together. The materials used are a photo, scissors, and type so the pieces will fit and not move around. The students will have about forty minutes to an hour to complete the assignment with plenty of time to cut the pieces of the puzzle. Based on the students' performance to cut pieces of the puzzle and then begin able to solve it and put it back together, the evaluation will be informal. The students will be able to solve the puzzle in the way they think is the correct way then will be able to find similarities or differences with the peers surrounding them. The assignment is linked to Bodily-Kinesthetic, Logical-Mathematical, Visual-Spatial and Interpersonal from Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. The Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence links to the assignment by making the class photo as a puzzle based on able to cut the puzzle pieces...

...your focal point. Every room needs one. This is the defining element in your room. It can be a something as simple as a fireplace or a unique piece of furniture or artwork. Your furniture should be arranged to take advantage of your focal point. For example, in the living room or bedroom, the sofa or bed should face the focal point. * Identify traffic patterns and avoid setting up an obstacle course. For example, if you must cut through your dining room to get to your kitchen, you won’t want to dodge a huge table and chairs just to get a drink of water. * Decide on the use of the room – intimate gatherings, entertaining large crowds, sleeping and playing (like in a child’s bedroom) or sleeping only? Your main piece, especially in a large room, will help define the purpose and use of the space. * Don’t block doorways, windows or views to other rooms, if possible. Consider these factors before you begin moving your furniture in. * Use remaining furnishings to define areas. This is very important in a large room, but it is just as important in a small space. The remaining furniture and decor should enhance and work around your main piece and your focal point. If a smaller piece won’t fit or it won’t compliment these two factors in your room, it doesn’t belong in this space. * Consider scale and proportion of your pieces and how they fit into the existing scale of your space. A too-small chair next to an overstuffed sofa often feels awkward; so does a tiny picture...

...Linnette Gomez Professor Lisa Rockford 16 November 2011 Boca Art Museum An artist’s perspective gives a curious audience a world of creativity displaying emotion, talent, and intelligence. The Boca Art Museum contains extraordinary galleries with many interesting pieces of art that come together to create an entire work of art in unity, and different portraits and framework with a variety of mediums. Viewers can see abstract sculptors placed in the outside garden giving the audience self-thought of understanding strange pieces that could mean anything; the meaning is individualized. The first gallery in the museum exhibits many different portraits of people, made up of different mediums such as pen and ink on paper, graphite on paper, and acrylic on canvas. A portrait created by the artist, “Pavel Tchelitchew,” named Mere Parizot a portrait of his mother, made it out of pen and ink on paper. The paper looks dyed or if it was once white or if it just colored through age. The detail of the portrait looks complicated with many lines to emphasize the features of the profile; the shading seems to be used by bleeding ink through the quill. Lighter areas have less bleeding. Another portrait created by the artist Jeri Metz, made a portrait of a woman named Selma out of graphite on paper. There is not any explanation of relation to this woman but the detail looks well shaded. Darker areas are smeared closely to create the darker areas when lighter areas the graphite is smeared farther...

...summer camp that I organized and was the director of last summer. The name of the summer camp was Creative Thinking Summer Camp and the ages of the camp was from 5yrs old to 13yrs of age. I wanted to do this camp because I have a love for Kids and wanted to own and operate my own business so I decided to take on the challenge. The Challenges that I Faced One of the challenges that I faced was finding ways and resources to fund the camp and run it during the summer. What a challenge it was, where would the money that I needed come from, what kind of camp would it be, where in the city would I have the camp and what type of kids and parents would I reach out to. These were some of the challenges and decisions that I had to make putting this summer camp together. These were only a few of the challenges, there would be more that I would have to face and make happen as the summer camp went. How did you resolve the challenges? Resolving the challenges was not easy but came by thinking the issues out and coming up with a plan and ways to make the ideas happen. One of the first details that had to be address was how the camp would be financed. The only way that it would be financed, since I was not getting any grants was to charge the student a weekly fee for the program. By doing this it would help defray some of the cost of the camp, and free some money to buy materials and other things that might be needed. Another thing that was done to help run...

...Abstract Planning to build a grandfather clock equipped me with the skills needed to make new friends. The commitment to finish what was started instilled in me the confidence to open my life up to another human on a deeper level. Utilizing the tools I had been equipped with, I was able to follow through with the plans I had laid out and made one of my dreams come true. Concrete Experience While attending a Bible study with some friends, I was captivated by the host’s grandfather clock ticking away the seconds in the living room. The size and beautifully articulated detail that it expressed kept my mind pondering what it would be like to create a time keeper. My friend Doug noticed my stares and inquired if I had interest in woodworking. I told him I would love to build one of those clocks! He suggested I stop by his house the following week for lunch and he would show me around his shop. The following week, after enjoying tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, Doug and I walked out to his back yard and to my surprise he had a full woodworking shop. He showed me around the various projects he was working on and, whether boasting ornate detail or simple design, they were all magnificent projects to me. When we got to the back he told me he wanted to show me something. Doug leaned over pulling at a cloth from a large pile, he revealed planks of a cherry tree that had been milled and drying for seven years...

...We have been in our new house just over a year and last spring we were so busy working on the inside that I did not have time to even think about the yard. But now with the inside somewhat complete, we can now focus on the outside. First up- creating a vegetable/fruit garden. I picked the back corner of the yard which receives full sun but is not directly in your line of sight when you look outside from the house. My original plan involved putting a short fence around it to keep pups out but after examining the soil we had to change our plans. The soil in that spot is incredibly sandy, which is odd since in this area we have a lot of clay. So we think an old playset used to be back there and they dumped sand for the kids. So our options became either digging up all the sand and getting rid of it somehow or building raised beds. We chose option B. Obviously it was not a very difficult decision. But we were gardening and raised bed virgins so some research was in order. We learned we had a lot of options in terms of materials- Stone/brick-too expensive and too permanent in case our adventures in vegetable gardening do not go as well as we hope Landscape Timbers- cheap but very we unsure what wood they we actually made of and how they would hold up Cedar-pretty, resists rot, can do it ourselves but still expensive if making multiple beds Pressure-Treated-cheap, easy to use but conflicting info about it's use for food gardens. From what I have gathered from my...

...Unit 2 Assignment 2 P4 There are many pieces of legislation that are put in place to protect and safeguard vulnerable people; like Mrs Naidoo. I am going describe five pieces of legislation and regulations, and explain how they safeguard vulnerable adults. The Care Standard Act 2002 The Care Standard Act is in place for anyone who receives care. These are the minimum standards by which every care provider must adhere to and are inspected on a regular basis. Its policies include giving patients the right to a choice of home, everyday living, activities, protection and administration of medicine. This legislation helps to direct care organisations regarding the protection of vulnerable adults. It does this by giving vulnerable individuals the right to a social life and to make sure all their needs are met, which will really help with their health and well being. For example this regulation could really help someone like Mrs Naidoo, who is not joining in social activities. She is being left out of social activities, which she has a right to and this means she is not getting any social life. Therefore, this piece of legislation really would help her. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 The Disability Discrimination Act aims to end the discrimination that faces many people with disabilities. It gives people with disabilities rights in the areas of: • employment • education • access to goods, facilities and services, including larger private clubs...

...Since I was a young child, I have always been infatuated with puzzles. I would sit on the family room floor centered on thousands of puzzle pieces. I would gaze at the picture on the box cover and strategically place each piece into its logical pile, by color and shape. Puzzles allowed me to unconsciously enhance my critical thinking skills in a stress-free and relaxing environment. Since art was never my forte, a puzzle also allowed me to create a beautiful, intricate picture, without the need to possess any artistic or creative traits. The more elaborate a puzzle was, the more I enjoyed putting that puzzle together, and when I was finished with my masterpiece, I would leave it on the coffee table and enjoy the art I created. Working...
