The marathon distance of 26.2 miles originated from a legend in 490 BC where a Greek messenger named Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens, a distance of about 25 miles, to announce a military victory over Persia. In the first modern Olympics in 1896, the marathon distance was set at 24.85 miles to commemorate this legend. However, in the 1908 London Olympics, the finish line was extended to 26.2 miles so it would be in front of the royal family's viewing area. After debate, the 26.2 mile distance was officially adopted for marathons in 1924.

The document discusses how John Moir develops the central idea in his article "The Little Owls That Live Underground." It does so by providing diverse evidence that burrowing owls are unique and imperiled creatures whose habitat and livelihood should be protected. Moir argues for protecting them by explaining they are worth saving and providing perspectives on practical ways to save them, such as using artificial burrows or coexisting near airports.
The document provides a lesson on determining the central idea of a text. It explains that the central idea is what the text is mostly about. To identify the central idea, one should ask who or what the text is about, and what the author says about that topic. The central idea should contain the topic and the author's main point about that topic, while summarizing what the text is mostly discussing.
There are three main kinds of irony: verbal, dramatic, and situational. Verbal irony involves saying something but meaning the opposite, like sarcasm. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience understands something a character does not. Situational irony is when what actually happens is unexpected or opposite of what was expected. Each type of irony involves expectations being subverted in some way.
The document provides information on different characterization techniques used in writing, including direct characterization where the narrator explicitly describes a character, and indirect characterization where a character's traits are implied through their actions. It includes examples of direct and indirect characterization, and prompts readers with short passages to identify indirect character traits and explain their analysis.

This document provides an overview of lessons and activities created around the book "Touching Spirit Bear" for 5th grade students. It describes how a student teacher developed lessons on journaling, poetry, spelling, science, math, and art after reading the book. One activity had students simulate being stranded on an island to survive using only items they found. Another had them make play-doh and relate the mixing of ingredients to combining knowledge. A final activity had students measure and decorate square cloth pieces to create their own at.oow blankets as described in the book. The lessons aimed to engage students and relate to various academic standards and American Indian perspectives. Student outcomes were positive, with engagement and references to the book.
The document discusses plot structure in stories. It describes Aristotle's unified plot structure of beginning, middle, and end.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
