This document provides an overview of a two-day professional development institute focused on learning outside the classroom and learning 2.0 technologies. The institute will include keynote presentations, breakout sessions, and workshops on topics like experiential learning, service learning, study abroad, field trips, and using web 2.0 technologies to enhance learning outside the classroom. Participants will learn about opportunities to incorporate learning outside the classroom into their disciplines, involve community partners, and use new technologies to support student engagement and pedagogy. By the end of the institute, participants will be able to describe how learning outside the classroom supports student learning, assess examples relevant to their fields, implement at least one new method or technology, and understand the basics of
The document discusses global economic growth and prosperity. It provides information on trends in global poverty rates, GDP measurements, and factors that influence economic growth. Key points include:
- Significant portions of the global population still live in extreme poverty, though poverty rates are falling in some regions more than others.
- GDP is a common measure of economic prosperity but has limitations in what it captures. GDP per capita varies widely between developed, emerging, and developing economies.
- Factors like innovation, human capital, physical capital, reduction of corruption, and income equality can promote economic growth, while issues like overuse of resources may impact the environment.
- As educated global citizens, readers can help emerging global prosperity through their understanding of
The document summarizes research on Irvingia gabonensis (IG), an African plant. Studies found that IG extract:
- Reduced body weight and fat in animal and human trials by down-regulating obesity genes like PPAR粒 and leptin, and up-regulating adiponectin.
- Lowered blood glucose, lipids, and C-reactive protein in diabetic and hyperlipidemic models.
- Showed antioxidant effects that may protect against cardiovascular diseases.
- May help control appetite and food cravings by influencing obesity and appetite regulation genes in the brain.
The document discusses a presentation by LifeGen on their research into using genetic testing and personalized nutrition to address obesity and other health issues. It outlines their approach of using a "Genetic Positioning Map" to identify genetic predispositions and formulate nutrient dosages to normalize gene expression and compensate for metabolic imbalances. The document also reviews research on how the compound Gabonectin from the plant Irvingia gabonensis impacts genes involved in metabolic processes like PPAR粒, leptin, and adiponectin expression.
This article discusses how Michelangelo drew inspiration from Dante's Divine Comedy for his painting of the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. The article analyzes similarities in the organization and themes between Dante's description of the afterlife and Michelangelo's fresco. It argues Michelangelo structured the fresco around Dantean symbols of salvation and damnation to communicate Catholic doctrine around judgment after death.
This article analyzes Henry James's use of metaphor, metonymy, and performative language to describe telegraphic communication technology in his late 19th century works. The author examines how James portrayed the telegraph in a metaphorical cage and used figurative language to both celebrate its possibilities for connection while also expressing unease with its impersonal qualities.

El poema describe c坦mo la persona lleg坦 a la vida del autor para llenarla de alegr鱈a, colores y felicidad despu辿s de que el autor so単aba con volver a sonre鱈r, amar, vivir y ser feliz. Ahora el autor siempre espera ansiosamente ver y hablar con esta persona, y sue単a con pasar momentos maravillosos juntos cantando canciones a pesar de que solo pasan horas juntos.
This document summarizes the history of clay animation from its origins in 1897 to modern times. It describes how early clay animators like Helena Smith Dayton in 1917 and Ray Harryhausen in the 1940s pioneered the use of clay to bring stories and characters to life. Major developments included Will Vinton winning an Oscar for Closed Mondays in the 1970s and Nick Park achieving success with Wallace and Gromit in the 1990s. The document outlines some of the key innovators and techniques in clay animation over the past century.
The document reports on quantitative EEG (qEEG) studies of two patients before and after receiving intravenous amino acid treatment. For Patient 1, baseline EEG showed increased theta and frontal beta activity indicating metabolic disturbance and mood issues. The post-treatment EEG showed decreased frontal theta and beta, indicating improved functioning. For Patient 2, baseline EEG showed increased widespread theta and frontal/central beta, while the post-treatment EEG showed decreased widespread theta and beta at 15-16Hz, also indicating improved functioning. The document claims acute IV therapy with Synaptamine can normalize abnormal neurological activity seen during abstinence from alcohol and opiates.

The document discusses the definitions and examples of metonymy from ancient Greece. Metonymy is defined as using a word associated with something to represent the thing itself. It dates back to the 1st century BCE and was defined by Trypho of Alexandria as using a synonym or homonym of a word to represent the original word. Examples given include using "wine" to represent Dionysus, "wheat" to represent Demeter, and parts to represent wholes such as "head and shoulders" to represent a helmet and shield.
