This document analyzes the potential economic impact of a proposed bill (S6413) in New York that would increase the minimum wage. It finds that depending on future inflation rates, the bill could result in nearly 22,000 lost jobs in New York over 10 years and a $2.5 billion reduction in economic output. More than 70% of lost jobs would be in small businesses. The analysis models different inflation scenarios and estimates costs to employers, as well as potential secondary effects on near-minimum wage workers.
The document lists words beginning with different letters of the alphabet from L to Q. It includes words like lion, lemonade, lamp, lollipop for L and monkey, mitten, moon, mouse for M. Words for other letters like N, O, P, and Q are also listed.
The document provides details on 10 different 7th grade lesson plans covering topics such as adverbs, poetry, free verse, personification, creative writing, brainstorming, book reports, author Chris Van Allsburg, and creating a digital story with Photo Story 3. The lessons include activities such as categorizing adverbs, listening to music snippets to analyze poetry, writing free verse poems, identifying personification in sentences, taking photos to create a story, using inspiration software to brainstorm ideas, doing oral book reports, completing a web quest on Van Allsburg, and designing a digital story with photos, narration and music.

The document discusses the ?X calculus, which provides an explicit computational interpretation of classical logic proofs represented in sequent calculus. The ?X calculus makes weakening and contraction explicit through terms corresponding to proofs. Terms are built from names and represent proofs with explicit erasure and duplication operations corresponding to weakening and contraction.
This document discusses the importance of science and the issue of global warming. Science is the study of the world which allows people to improve their lives and protect themselves and the Earth. Global warming is a major issue where the average surface temperature has risen by 0.76¡ã C since 1850 likely due to human activities, and to prevent further global warming we must reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
The document is an evaluation of a magazine cover created by the author for a school assignment. [1] The author's magazine cover uses conventions common to real magazines such as a masthead, left third layout with main image, and dateline. [2] It is targeted towards youth in urban areas in years 12-13 of mixed ethnic backgrounds. [3] The magazine would be distributed nationally to sixth forms through a central student team that publishes main articles while local student editors add school-specific content.
The document discusses several key issues related to the environmental footprint of digital media:
1) Extracting rare earth metals and materials used in electronics like gallium, arsenic, and coltan causes environmental damage and human rights issues through practices like mining in protected areas.
2) Manufacturing semiconductors and electronics requires large amounts of toxic chemicals and produces hazardous waste.
3) Operating servers, computers, and other digital devices consumes significant amounts of energy, representing around 2-3% of total electricity use in countries like the US. This footprint grows as more devices are used.

The document provides three corporate lessons through short stories with morals. The lessons are:
1) To be idle you need a high position away from danger, like the crow sitting in a tree away from the fox.
2) Temporary shortcuts like eating dung may get you ahead but won't sustain you, as the turkey who ate dung to reach the top of the tree was then shot down.
3) Be wary of those who help or harm you, as the bird was saved but then eaten by the cat who dug it out of cow dung where it was warming.
The document is a schedule for a day at a preschool or kindergarten. It outlines various activities the children will participate in throughout the day, including playing alone or with others, communicating verbally, pretend play, washing hands, hanging up coats, eating lunch, and listening to stories before bed. It aims to help children develop language skills, fine motor skills, independence, and personality while having fun through music, art, and play.
This document discusses how technology and education have changed over time through various quotes from different eras:
- A 1703 teachers' conference complained that students relied too much on slates instead of using bark to do calculations.
- An 1815 principal's association said students were too dependent on paper and didn't know how to properly use and clean slates.
- A 1907 teachers' association said pens and ink would never replace pencils as students were too reliant on store-bought ink.
- Comments throughout the decades complained about newer technologies like fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and handheld calculators replacing older tools.
- The document concludes that despite complaints about new technologies over
This document provides guidance on how to write academically, including essay planning, context for writing, and the importance of paragraphs. It recommends breaking essays and theses into standard chapters and then further dividing chapters into shorter sections and subsections numbered consistently. Writing locations can be anywhere with materials, and aiming to write at least 100 words daily is advised. Paragraphs are defined as groups of sentences on a single topic, with an example paragraph provided.
1) The document discusses various artworks that deal with concepts of time, structure, duration, and ephemerality in real-time media.
2) It references sound art works by Stockhausen and Czarnecki that can be listened to at varying speeds, as well as a video by Malcolm Le Grice and the concept of a "z-axis montage".
3) Other topics discussed include the artist as "petrol head" or "anthropologist", the "rage to order", and the struggle to create conviviality amid inhuman speeds.
