Shelly and Dan became pen pals in 1981 when Dan sent a balloon with a note attached from Michigan to Canada. Shelly, an 11-year-old girl in Ontario, responded and they began writing letters back and forth. Over the next 30+ years, they watched each other's families grow as their lives took different paths, but they maintained their friendship through letters despite living in different countries.

This project aims to analyze how age-appropriate ICT can influence Year 7 students' self-efficacy and conceptual understanding of fractions. It will involve a 10-day intervention using interactive games, explicit teaching, and technology like laptops and iPads. Data collection will include student interviews and questionnaires administered before and after to measure changes in self-efficacy, along with tests and teacher observations to assess mathematical understanding. The data will then be analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of ICT and whether it engaged students and improved their beliefs in their math abilities and knowledge of fractions concepts.

Overall TQM aims to achieve high quality through systematic analysis and continuous improvement.
The document provides information about forecasting methods. It includes a table with historical demand and forecast data for 8 periods. It defines formulas to calculate Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Tracking Signal (TS) based on the data. It then lists common features of forecasts, elements of a good forecast, steps in the forecasting process, types of forecasts including qualitative and quantitative methods, components of time series data, and describes the naive forecasting method.
This document provides information about gallbladder anatomy, blood supply, drainage, and diseases. It describes:
- The gallbladder's location between parts of the liver and its pear shape.
- The cystic artery commonly arising from the right hepatic artery supplies the gallbladder.
- Bile produced in the liver contains bilirubin, cholesterol, bile salts, lecithin and is stored in the gallbladder.
- Cholelithiasis or gallstones can be cholesterol based, pigment based, or mixed and cause symptoms like biliary colic or acute cholecystitis.
The document discusses acute and chronic cholecystitis, highlighting that acute cholecystitis is primarily caused by gallstone obstruction and characterized by severe, prolonged pain. The diagnosis involves clinical findings, imaging studies, and laboratory tests, with urgent treatment options including cholecystectomy and cholecystostomy for complications. Chronic cholecystitis is often due to gallstones and requires cholecystectomy as well, especially in cases with complications like CBD stones and pancreatitis.
