A workshop was held to assess walkability in the Park Hill neighborhood of North Little Rock, Arkansas. Participants completed an evaluation of the workshop. The most useful part was found to be directly walking the neighborhood and identifying issues. Structured group work and interaction with city planners were also seen as useful. Unstructured conversations were deemed the least useful part. Overall, participants preferred active, productive, and efficient uses of their time at the workshop.
The document discusses child care subsidies in Toronto and advocates for increasing access to them. It notes that child care fees are expensive and about 20,000 children are waiting for subsidies.

Las clases participaron en un evento de marcapáginas solidarios en el que crearon marcadores con mensajes sobre los derechos de los ni?os. También asistieron a una actividad en la biblioteca pública de Tui donde los alumnos de 5o y 6o presentaron trabajos sobre Celso Emilio Ferreiro y llevaron libros para intercambiar, y juntos leyeron capítulos de Don Quijote de la Mancha en honor a Cervantes.
This is our second DIY chicken coop. There are vast improvements with this coop, compared with our first.
1) The sloped, nesting box (big one)
2) The taller coop that allows us to walk in to maintain the coop
3) covered lower walls to keep dirt/manure that chickens kick around in side the coop
4) more sunlight
The document discusses the progression of skills from the author's preliminary task to their full product. For the preliminary task, planning, skills, and attention to details like lighting, camera angles, sound, and titles were lacking compared to the full product. This resulted in the preliminary task looking less professional. For the full product, more planning and practice improved skills in areas like mise-en-scene, editing, and sound design, resulting in a final product that looked more polished and coherent. The author learned that planning and attention to small details are important for a professional final product.
The document describes various variable selection methods applied to predict violent crime rates using socioeconomic data from US cities. It analyzes a dataset with 95 variables and 807 observations, using several variable selection techniques to determine the most predictive factors of violent crime. These include best random subset selection (BRSS), which approximates best subset selection by randomly selecting variable combinations. BRSS identified factors like immigration, ethnicity, family structure, and income as best predicting violent crime rates. Model performance was evaluated using metrics like R2, and BRSS had strong out-of-sample prediction, outperforming some other common techniques.
There are a few key factors that determine whether a language becomes a dialect or a new language over time. A slight separation of a community can lead to dialect formation, while a long-term separation is more likely to result in a new language. The reasons for a community's separation, such as social mandates, natural disasters, social strife, or economic conditions, often explain how the new language develops lexically, stylistically, and structurally over time. Even after separating, a new language will typically retain characteristics of the original parent language it derived from.
The Science Society had another successful year in 2011. Several activities were carried out including trips to the Science Centre, a cement factory, and UPM. Film shows on NASA and Asian scientists were also well-attended. Talks on technology, engineering, and electronics drew encouraging support. The monthly subscription was increased to RM3 to fund future activities. The secretary thanked the former and new advisers for their guidance in making the society more active.

This document discusses engaging leadership through exploring and defining personal values. It provides exercises for participants to reflect on values like what activities they enjoy and why, defining values and ranking them in order of importance. The document emphasizes that values are enduring beliefs that guide decision making and actions, and that defining and living according to one's values is important for effective leadership.
This document summarizes research exploring educational change in medical education institutions. It outlines the background, aims, and theoretical frameworks of the research. Several studies are described that examine how educators experience change initiatives, how change agents enact change, and how work groups organize around change. Results indicate stakeholders have different understandings of change, change agents lack systematic approaches, and teachers self-organize around changes when guidance is lacking. The research aims to better understand challenges to change implementation and how to support faculty and leadership in the change process.
Erin enjoys cheerleading, badminton, and playing bass. In 10 years, she sees herself married with children living on the east coast of the US or Ireland. Her work values include achievement, working conditions, and public relations. She learns visually and auditorily. Her foundation blocks are self-esteem, leadership, and sociability, and she wants to improve decision-making and math skills. Her Holland Code indicates investigative, social, and artistic interests.
This document contains short biographies of 5 famous people in the form of riddles:
1. Cristobal Colon, the explorer who discovered America in 1492.
2. Bob Marley, the Jamaican singer-songwriter who helped spread reggae music and Rastafari beliefs worldwide.
3. Doraemon, the blue cat robot who comes from the future to help children in Japan.
4. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, the American alternative rock band formed in 1983 known for their funk-influenced rock style.
5. Bruno Mars, the American singer, songwriter and record producer born in 1985 in Hawaii.
The document discusses the benefits of using iPads in education, noting that they are lightweight, thin, and easy to use. It highlights features like long battery life, wireless printing, cameras and video capabilities, and iCloud which allows sharing from students' iPads to teachers' desks instantly. In conclusion, the iPad is a portable and efficient device that can streamline classroom resources and benefit both students and teachers.
- The document outlines a process for turning an essay prompt into a paper, beginning with turning the prompt into a question, then freewriting and narrowing the focus into a preliminary thesis and outline.
- An example prompt is given about the diversity of Standard American English, which is narrowed into a question about how African American Vernacular English and European American Vernacular English differ from SAE.
- A preliminary thesis and outline are then developed from the narrowed question before conducting further research.

A Nonlinear Integrated Model for Operational Planning of Multi-Site RefineriesAlkis Vazacopoulos
?
The document presents a nonlinear integrated model for the operational planning of multi-site refineries. The model aims to optimize refinery operations across multiple refinery sites in a unified manner by considering the nonlinear relationships between process variables, yields, properties and operational constraints. The approach integrates operational planning with process models that can account for variations in yields and properties based on operational conditions. This provides a more accurate representation of refinery behavior compared to traditional linear programming models.
