I. What is ESG Disclosure?
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure refers to the voluntary reporting of non-financial information by companies. This information includes their impact on the environment, society, and how they are managed. It is used to assess the sustainability of a company and its long-term viability.

II. Why is ESG Disclosure Important?
ESG disclosure is important because it provides investors with valuable information about a company's impact on the environment and society. This information helps investors make informed decisions about where to invest their money. Additionally, companies that prioritize ESG issues tend to have better long-term performance, which can lead to higher returns for investors.

III. How does ESG Disclosure Impact Investments?
ESG disclosure can impact investments in several ways. First, it can help investors identify companies that prioritize sustainable practices, which can lead to better long-term performance. Second, it can help investors avoid companies that have negative impacts on the environment or society. Finally, ESG disclosure can help investors identify trends and risks in the market, allowing them to make more informed decisions.

IV. Conclusion
In conclusion, ESG disclosure is an important tool for investors who want to make informed decisions about where to invest their money. By providing valuable information about a company's impact on the environment and society, ESG disclosure can help investors identify companies that prioritize sustainable practices and avoid those that do not. Additionally, ESG disclosure can help investors identify trends and risks in the market, allowing them to make more informed decisions.

V. Glossary

Lesson: Introduction to Baseball Statistics

### Section 1: Overview of Baseball Statistics
Baseball is a popular sport played by millions of people around the world. One way to measure the performance of individual players or teams is through statistics. In this lesson, we will learn about some common baseball statistics and how they are calculated.

### Section 2: Basic Statistics
There are several basic statistics that are commonly used in baseball. These include:

1. Batting Average: This statistic measures how often a batter gets a hit during their at-bats. It is calculated by dividing the number of hits by the number of at-bats. For example, if a batter has 100 at-bats and gets 30 hits, their batting average would be 0.300.

2. On-Base Percentage (OBP): This statistic measures how often a batter reaches base safely. It is calculated by dividing the number of walks and hits by the number of plate appearances. For example, if a batter has 100 plate appearances with 20 walks and 80 hits, their OBP would be 0.400.

3. Slugging Percentage (SLG): This statistic measures the power of a batter. It is calculated by dividing the total number of bases by the number of at-bats. For example, if a batter has 100 at-bats and gets 20 extra-base hits, their SLG would be 0.400.

4. Earned Run Average (ERA): This statistic measures how many earned runs a pitcher gives up per nine innings. It is calculated by dividing the number of earned runs by the number of innings pitched. For example, if a pitcher pitches 100 innings and gives up 30 earned runs, their ERA would be 2.70.

### Section 3: Advanced Statistics
In addition to the basic statistics, there are several advanced statistics that are commonly used in baseball. These include:

1. Wins Above Replacement (WAR): This statistic measures how many more wins a player is worth compared to a replacement-level player. It takes into account offense, defense, and baserunning. For example, if a player has a WAR of 2.0, it means they are worth two more wins than a replacement-level player.

2. Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP): This statistic measures how many runs a pitcher would give up if they had a normal defense behind them. It takes into account strikeouts, walks, and home runs allowed. For example, if a pitcher has a FIP of 3.00, it means they would give up three runs per nine innings if they had a normal defense.

3. OPS: This statistic measures a hitter's ability to get on base and hit for power. It is calculated by adding a player's OBP and SLG. For example, if a hitter has an OBP of 0.350 and a SLG of 0.450, their OPS would be 0.800.

4. Defensive Efficiency: This statistic measures how well a team defends. It is calculated by dividing the number of balls in play by the number of outs recorded. For example, if a team has 100 balls in play and records 80 outs, their defensive efficiency would be 0.800.

### Glossary
- Batting Average: The percentage of times a batter gets a hit during their at-bats.
- On-Base Percentage (OBP): The percentage of times a batter reaches base safely.
- Slugging Percentage (SLG): The percentage of times a batter gets extra-base hits.
- Earned Run Average (ERA): The average number of earned runs a pitcher gives up per nine innings.
- Wins Above Replacement (WAR): A statistic that measures how many more wins a player is worth compared to a replacement-level player.
- Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP): A statistic that measures how many runs a pitcher would give up if they had a normal defense behind them.
- OPS: A statistic that measures a hitter's ability to get on base and hit for power.
- Defensive Efficiency: A statistic that measures how well a team defends.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about some common baseball statistics and how they are calculated. We also learned about some advanced statistics that are commonly used in baseball. By understanding these statistics, we can better analyze and evaluate the performance of individual players or teams.

Lesson: Introduction to Orthopedic Surgery

### Overview
Orthopedic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries, disorders, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. In this lesson, we will learn about orthopedic surgeons, their training, and the procedures they perform.

### Section 1: What is Orthopedic Surgery?
Orthopedic surgery is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. This includes conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Orthopedic surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of these conditions.

### Section 2: Who is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor who has completed additional training in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. They use both surgical and non-surgical methods to treat a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries to spinal disorders.

### Section 3: Training and Procedures
Orthopedic surgeons undergo extensive training before they can practice independently. After completing medical school, they must complete a minimum of five years of residency training in orthopedics. During this time, they learn about the musculoskeletal system, how to diagnose and treat conditions, and how to perform surgeries. Some orthopedic surgeons choose to further specialize in a specific area of orthopedics, such as sports medicine or pediatric orthopedics.

Some common procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons include:
- Joint replacement surgery: replacing damaged joints with artificial ones
- Fracture repair: fixing broken bones
- Soft tissue repair: repairing damaged tendons, ligaments, and muscles
- Spine surgery: treating conditions affecting the spine
- Sports medicine: treating injuries related to sports and physical activities

### Section 4: Importance of Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery is important because it helps people maintain their mobility and independence. It can help relieve pain and restore function to injured or damaged joints, bones, and muscles. Orthopedic surgeons play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, which can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, orthopedic surgery is a vital medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries, disorders, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons are highly trained medical professionals who use both surgical and non-surgical methods to treat a wide range of conditions. Understanding the basics of orthopedic surgery can help us appreciate the importance of this field and the role that orthopedic surgeons play in improving our overall health and well-being.

Lesson: Introduction to Coupons

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

A coupon is a ticket or document that can be redeemed for a financial discount or rebate, usually given by a manufacturer or retailer to encourage consumers to purchase a product. Coupons are often used in marketing strategies to attract customers and increase sales.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's say you are running a store that sells clothing. You want to increase your sales during the summer season when people are more likely to buy new outfits. You decide to offer a coupon for 10% off on all summer dresses. You create a coupon code and advertise it on your website and social media platforms. Customers who enter the code at checkout receive a 10% discount on their purchase of any summer dress. This encourages customers to buy more dresses and increases your sales.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

In the example above, we used a coupon code to offer a discount on summer dresses. However, coupons come in many forms, such as printable coupons, mobile coupons, and online coupons. Coupons can also be used in various industries, such as grocery stores, restaurants, and service providers. For instance, a restaurant might offer a free appetizer with the purchase of an entrée or a salon might offer a discount on a hair treatment package.

## Glossary

Coupon - A ticket or document that can be redeemed for a financial discount or rebate.

Markdown Annotations - Notes or explanations added to text to provide additional information or clarity.

Formulas - Mathematical equations used to solve problems or represent relationships between variables.

Discussion - A conversation or debate about a topic to stimulate critical thinking and exchange ideas.

Conclusion:

Understanding how coupons work and their importance in marketing strategies can help you make informed decisions when shopping or running a business. By offering coupons, you can attract new customers, increase sales, and build brand loyalty. Remember to always use coupons wisely and within your budget.

Lesson: How to Write a News Report

Introduction:
A news report is a written or broadcasted account of a news event. It is usually based on facts and presented in a clear, concise, and objective manner. In this lesson, we will learn how to write a news report by analyzing the given input text.

Section 1: Understanding the Structure of a News Report

A news report typically follows a specific structure, which includes the following elements:

1. Headline: A short, attention-grabbing title that summarizes the main idea of the story.
2. Lead: The opening paragraph that introduces the story and provides essential information such as who, what, when, where, and why.
3. Body: Additional details and information that develop the story and provide context.
4. Conclusion: A summary of the main points or a call to action.

Example:

3. Develop the body of the report with additional details and context. Use quotes, statistics, and examples to support your points.
4. Conclude with a summary of the main points or a call to action.

Self-Debate Discussion:

Is it necessary to include quotes in a news report? Why or why not?

Answer: Quotes can add credibility and depth to a news report. They provide a personal perspective from someone involved in the story, which can help readers understand the situation better. However, including too many quotes can make the report longer and less concise. It is essential to use quotes strategically and sparingly to enhance the report's overall quality.

Glossary:
- News report: A written or broadcasted account of a news event.
- Objective: Fair and balanced, without personal opinions or biases.
- Conclusion: The end of a news report.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to write a news report by analyzing the given input text. We discussed the structure of a news report and the importance of each element. We also engaged in a self-debate discussion about the use of quotes in a news report. Finally, we defined key terms in a glossary. By applying these concepts, we can write clear, concise, and objective news reports that inform and engage our audience.


text: 3-year-old kinder update. As you would be aware the Victorian Government has committed almost $5 billion over ten years so that every child in the state will have access to a kindergarten program for three-year-olds. This means that an extra year of play-based learning, led by a teacher, will be added to Victorian children’s education.. It is predicted a further 2000 EC educators will be required to meet this demand and our EC program team is exploring opportunities created by these changes.. Early childhood scholarships are now available, including $25,000 towards an approved undergraduate qualification and $12,000 towards an approved Grad Dip qual as well as Early Childhood Aboriginal scholarships of up to $24,000.. Subsidised kindergarten for three-year-olds will become available in stages as indicated below.. For more information see the link to the Department website on three-year-old kindergarten. Communication material about the reform can be downloaded here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 350 do? We’re an international movement of ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all. 350 works on grassroots campaigns across the globe, from opposing coal plants and mega-pipelines, to supporting renewable energy solutions and cutting the financial lifelines of the fossil fuel industry. All of our work leverages people power — individuals working together in pursuit of a common goal — to dismantle the influence and infrastructure of the fossil fuel industry. Find more on our About page.

How do I get involved? At minimum, make sure you’re on our mailing list. Browse the rest of this page to see how you can make bigger contributions in a local group setting. From there, what you do and how much you get involved is up to your group’s needs, your interests, and how much time you want to put in!

I don’t have time to commit to a local group. How can I still be involved? Whether in person or online, simply talking with those around you about the climate crisis and what’s happening in your area is an important step toward making change. Also follow climate action groups like 350 on social media and share their content for a low-commitment way to show your support. If there is no local campaign group in your area yet, consider bringing other local supporters together for a one-time event – a potluck meal, film-screening, or roundtable discussion. By building relationships between passionate people in your community, a group is more likely to emerge, even if you’re not available to lead it yourself. You can also donate to keep the movement strong.

Can you help run this campaign for me? You know your own community better than anyone, so we believe local groups are best suited to run – and win! – their own campaigns. However, we can provide resources and guidance so you’re prepared to act on the changes you want to see.

Why aren’t you talking about things like recycling and veganism? Our campaigns focus on building transformative power that challenges the status quo and social license of the fossil fuel industry. That means less focus on personal consumption choices (which are incremental) and more emphasis on collective action (which can tackle massive systemic issues). Both are important, but we believe that by building a movement linked to these three demands, we can reach political tipping points that allow for change big enough to halt the climate crisis: A fast and just transition to 100% renewable energy

No new fossil fuel projects, anywhere

Not a penny more in finance for the fossil fuel industry

So should I go ahead and start a local group? If you can identify a few other dedicated people in your community to help you and are committed to 350.org’s basic demands and organizing principles, yes! Get started. Our vision is to have thousands of local groups standing in solidarity with each other. It does take time, commitment, and energy to steer a group to maturity, but it’s precisely that sort of commitment we need if we are to change the course of history.

I already have a local group. Can we join 350? That’s great! If you’re already in a group, you’re probably seeing the benefits of meeting face to face and organising together. Read through the local group guidelines and apply to register your group.

How much support will 350 offer when I start a group? We have plenty of trainings and resources available to help you, and we often run campaigns that local groups can easily plug into. Depending on your location and how much staff or volunteer capacity is available, we also might be able to provide coaching and other direct support. But remember, in the end it’s you who can build a real local movement where you live.

Will 350 pay us to run a local group? No, 350.org cannot pay you to run a group. However, we do have trainings on how to fundraise so your local group can gain its own resources to stand independently.

Lesson: Comparative Studies on Biochemical Properties, Phage Relationships, and Antigenic Structure of S. Aureus Strains Isolated from Sheep

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about a scientific study that investigates the biochemical properties, phage relationships, and antigenic structure of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) strains isolated from sheep. This study is important because it helps us understand the characteristics of S. aureus strains that cause mastitis in sheep and how they can be differentiated from other strains.

Section 1: Biochemical Properties
The study found that 85 of the 104 strains of S. aureus isolated from sheep's udder corresponded to the variability (var.) ovis. This means that these strains had similar biochemical properties that are typical of S. aureus strains that cause mastitis in sheep.

Questions and Answers:
1. What is the significance of the biochemical properties of S. aureus strains isolated from sheep?
- The biochemical properties of S. aureus strains help us differentiate them from other strains and understand their role in causing mastitis in sheep.

2. How many strains of S. aureus were isolated from sheep's udder?
- 104 strains of S. aureus were isolated from sheep's udder.

3. Which biochemical tests were used to identify the strains?
- The biochemical tests used to identify the strains were not mentioned in the study.

Section 2: Phage Relationships
Phage typing showed that the strains were lyzed in a highest percent by phages of groups IV and M. Dominating were the 42D/78/107/119 and 78 phages. This means that the S. aureus strains isolated from sheep were most susceptible to phages belonging to groups IV and M.

Questions and Answers:
1. What is phage typing?
- Phage typing is a technique used to classify bacterial strains based on their susceptibility to bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria).

2. What are phage groups IV and M?
- Phage groups IV and M are two groups of bacteriophages that are capable of lyzing (destroying) S. aureus strains.

3. Why is phage typing important in studying S. aureus strains?
- Phage typing is important because it helps us understand the relationships between different strains of S. aureus and their susceptibility to phages, which can be useful in developing strategies to control mastitis in sheep.

Section 3: Antigenic Structure
Studies revealed that the strains were antigenically homogenic. Antigens h2 and k1k2 were characteristic of S. aureus var. ovis. This means that the S. aureus strains isolated from sheep had similar antigens (proteins that can trigger an immune response) and that h2 and k1k2 were the most common antigens found in these strains.

Questions and Answers:
1. What is an antigen?
- An antigen is a foreign substance that triggers an immune response in the body.

2. What is antigenic homogeneity?
- Antigenic homogeneity refers to the presence of similar antigens in a group of organisms or strains.

3. Why are antigens important in studying S. aureus strains?
- Antigens are important because they help us understand the differences between S. aureus strains and their potential to cause disease in sheep.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, this study has provided valuable information about the biochemical properties, phage relationships, and antigenic structure of S. aureus strains isolated from sheep. This knowledge can be used to develop strategies to control mastitis in sheep and to differentiate S. aureus strains from other strains that may cause similar diseases.

1920 United States presidential election in Georgia

The 1920 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 2, 1920, as part of the wider United States Presidential election. Voters chose 14 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Background
With the exception of a handful of historically Unionist North Georgia counties – chiefly Fannin but also to a lesser extent Pickens, Gilmer and Towns – Georgia since the 1880s had been a 1-party state dominated by the Democratic Party. Disfranchisement of almost all African-Americans and most poor whites had made the Republican Party virtually nonexistent outside of local governments in those few hill counties, and the national Democratic Party served as the guardian of white supremacy against a Republican Party historically associated with memories of Reconstruction. The only competitive elections were Democratic primaries, which state laws restricted to whites on the grounds of the Democratic Party being legally a private club.

Vote
The Cox/Roosevelt ticket easily carried the state of Georgia on election day.

Lesson: Understanding the United States Presidential Election

Introduction
The United States Presidential election is a process that takes place every four years to elect the President and Vice President of the United States. In this lesson, we will learn about the history of the 1920 United States presidential election in Georgia and how it relates to the larger context of American politics.

Section 1: Background
The state of Georgia has a long history of being a Democratic stronghold, with the exception of a few counties that traditionally voted Republican. This was due to the disfranchisement of African-Americans and poor whites, which made the Republican Party virtually nonexistent outside of local governments in those few hill counties. The national Democratic Party served as the guardian of white supremacy against a Republican Party historically associated with memories of Reconstruction.

Section 2: The 1920 Presidential Election in Georgia
In the 1920 presidential election, Georgia was one of the states that participated in the Electoral College system. Voters chose 14 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Georgia's 14 electoral votes went to the Democratic candidate, Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, and his running mate, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Republican candidate, Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, finished second in Georgia with 13 electoral votes.

Section 3: Significance of the 1920 Presidential Election
The 1920 presidential election was significant because it marked the first time that women were allowed to vote in a presidential election. The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote, was ratified on August 18, 1920, just in time for the election. This led to an increase in voter turnout and a shift in the political landscape as women began to exercise their right to vote.

Conclusion
The 1920 presidential election in Georgia was significant in many ways, including the fact that it was the first presidential election in which women were allowed to vote. The outcome of the election, with the Democratic candidate winning the state's 14 electoral votes, reflects the historical dominance of the Democratic Party in Georgia. Understanding the history of presidential elections like the 1920 election can help us appreciate the importance of voting and the impact it can have on the outcome of an election.

Glossary

Lesson: Introduction to Forex Trading

### Section 1: What is Forex Trading?
Forex trading is the process of buying, selling, or exchanging currencies at the current market price. It is one of the largest financial markets in the world, with a daily turnover of over $5 trillion. Currencies are traded in pairs, such as the US dollar and the Euro, and the value of one currency is determined by its relation to another currency.

### Section 2: Why Trade Forex?
Forex trading can be profitable because it allows traders to take advantage of fluctuations in currency values. For example, if you believe that the value of the US dollar will increase against the Euro, you can buy US dollars and sell Euros at the current market price. If the value of the US dollar does increase, you can then sell the dollars and pocket the profit.

### Section 3: How Does Forex Trading Work?
Forex trading works by using leverage, which allows traders to control large amounts of currency with a small amount of capital. This means that even a small movement in currency value can result in a large profit or loss. Traders use various tools and strategies to predict and take advantage of these movements.

### Section 4: Types of Forex Orders
There are several types of forex orders that traders can use to buy or sell currencies. These include market orders, limit orders, and stop-loss orders. Market orders are used to buy or sell currencies at the current market price, while limit orders are used to set a specific price at which to buy or sell currencies. Stop-loss orders are used to limit losses by automatically selling currencies if their value drops below a certain level.

### Section 5: Risks of Forex Trading
While forex trading can be profitable, it also carries risks. Currency values can fluctuate rapidly due to various factors, such as economic news or political events. This means that a trader's position may become unprofitable in a short period of time, resulting in a loss. Additionally, traders who use leverage may lose more money than they initially invested if the market moves against them.

### Conclusion:
Forex trading can be a complex and challenging activity, but it can also be profitable for those who understand the market and use effective trading strategies. By learning about the basics of forex trading, you can begin to explore this exciting financial market and potentially earn money by taking advantage of fluctuations in currency values.

In this lesson, we will analyze the ending of the movie "The Town" (2010), directed by Ben Affleck. We will explore the events that led to the final scene and understand the motivations behind the characters' actions. We will also learn about the significance of the flower shop and the ice rink in the story.
Section 1: The Final Scene
In the final scene of the movie, we see Doug (played by Ben Affleck) escaping from the police and leaving the city. What happened in the money room at Fenway Park? Why did Doug decide to take the money and leave?
Answer: In the money room at Fenway Park, Doug and his crew were supposed to rob the place. However, the florist, who was working with them, double-crossed them and planned to kill Claire (played by Blake Lively), the manager of the flower shop. Krista (played by Rebecca Hall), who was also involved in the plan, decided to protect her daughter and informed the police about the robbery. The cops were waiting for Doug and his crew when they arrived at the park. In the end, everyone except for Doug was killed, and he managed to escape with the money.
Question: Why did Doug decide to take the money and leave?
Answer: Doug knew that he could not continue living his life as a criminal. He had already lost his best friend (played by Jeremy Renner) and realized that the life of crime was not worth it. He wanted to start over and use the money to help others, especially after seeing how much Claire cared for the community.
Section 2: The Flower Shop
The flower shop played an important role in the story. Why was it significant?
Answer: The flower shop was significant because it was the meeting point for Doug and Claire. It was also the place where they first connected and fell in love. The flower shop represented hope and new beginnings, which is why Doug decided to leave the city and start over with the money he stole.
Question: What was the significance of the ice rink?
Answer: The ice rink was significant because it was a symbol of the community and the people who lived there. Claire used the money from the robbery to renovate the old ice rink and dedicated it to Doug's mother. This showed that she cared about the community and wanted to make a difference.
Section 3: Critical Thinking
As we watch movies, we need to think critically about the events that unfold on the screen. What can we learn from analyzing the ending of "The Town" (2010)?
Answer: We can learn that sometimes, the choices we make can have a significant impact on our lives. Doug could have continued living his life as a criminal, but he chose to take control of his destiny and start over. We can also learn that love and community can inspire us to do great things. Claire's dedication to the ice rink and her love for Doug showed that she was willing to do whatever it took to make a difference in the world.
Glossary:
Flower Shop - a place where flowers and plants are sold
Ice Rink - a place where people skate on ice
Motivation - the reason why someone does something
Symbol - something that represents something else
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the importance of critical thinking when watching movies. We also learned about the significance of the flower shop and the ice rink in the story of "The Town" (2010). Finally, we explored the motivations behind Doug's actions and the choices he made at the end of the movie. By applying these concepts to our own lives, we can make a positive impact on the world around us.

Cal Poly administration has proposed an increase in incoming out-of-state students’ fees to fund a grant to help incoming low-income California students.

The Cal Poly Opportunity Grant (CPOG) will help pay Cal Poly fees for incoming California-resident students who meet specific low-income qualifications.

To accumulate the money needed to sustain this grant, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong proposed the Cal Poly Opportunity Fee (CPOF) to be applied to incoming out-of-state students.

The fee would begin as $2,010 per year for out-of-state students, either starting their freshman year or transferring to Cal Poly in Fall 2018. The fee would then increase by that amount for each new year. Freshmen starting in Fall 2019 would pay $4,020 per year and freshmen starting in 2020 would pay $6,030 per year. Students starting in 2021 and beyond would pay $8,040 per year.

In its first year in effect, the grant will only apply to low-income students in the College of Engineering. Armstrong said he hopes all majors will be included in the grant by 2023, depending on the amount of money the university obtains for the grant.

The grant will be available to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, but will not be open to low-income out-of-state students.

The grant and fee have not been formally approved yet. Beginning this month, the proposition will be scrutinized by the Campus Fee Advisory Committee and will be presented to Associated Students, Inc. prior to a final decision, estimated to be made by mid-March.

Prior to the decision, the grant and the fee will undergo levels of examination and debate, just as the health fee did Fall 2017. Students and community members are encouraged to speak up and attend open forums to discuss the proposition. Students will also be able to give feedback through their Cal Poly Portal.

“Our students are amazing and you are [going to] look at this and tear it apart, but we are open to any idea,” Armstrong said.

In a press release, Armstrong said the grant will help the school “work towards its goal of increasing diversity on campus and enhancing the quality of education and career readiness for all Cal Poly students.”

The university is also planning to enroll a more diverse student body on campus by focusing on the demographics of California.

“Diversity, which [is] linked to low-income student participation at Cal Poly, is incredibly important for the future and our sustainability. We have looked at many, many different ways to do this; this is the best mechanism that our collected minds could produce at this point,” Armstrong said.

According to Armstrong, 50 percent of the money raised from the fee will fund the CPOG and 25 percent will fund support services for low-income first-generation students. The remaining 25 percent will go to Cal Poly for pending budget conditions, but over time may be used for additional CPOG or support services funds.

Students will be qualified for the grant based on their Expected Family Contribution (EFC).

EFC is a number based on a federal formula that calculates a family’s ability to assist a student’s education and how much financial aid the student will receive. The formula takes into account income, assets and benefits.

CPOG, when first put into effect, will apply to students who fall under the lowest EFC intake. Depending on funds, Armstrong plans for the grant to apply to all California resident students with a $4,000 or less EFC as soon as possible.

This invention relates generally to fluid handling and more particularly to a capless medical valve.
Needleless injection ports, installed in an infusion line, allow medical personnel to administer medications to patients occasionally through the already-installed infusion line. To be safe and effective, a needleless injection port must prevent leakage of intravenous fluid out of the port while it is idle, and must absolutely prevent air or other matter from entering the infusion line accidentally. The injection port should not have recesses which could harbor microbes, and it is convenient if contamination can be prevented without requiring a separate cap.
A number of capless medical valves are known, including that shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,006,114. That valve has a member which can be depressed to open a flowpath when a syringe tip is pushed into the valve body; however, it is necessary to give an irregular surface to either the end of the syringe tip or to the valve plunger. Were both surfaces to be planar, the mating surfaces could work together as a seal, preventing--or at least throttling--flow out of the syringe. Irregularities like the bumps described in the above patent have a disadvantages of more difficult manufacture, and of making surfaces harder to clean. It is not practical to provide special syringes with irregular tip surfaces for just this one use, and it is preferred that the needleless valve have only smooth surfaces, so that it can be cleaned easily by wiping.

Lesson Title: Capless Medical Valve

Introduction:
A capless medical valve is a device used in medical settings to administer medication to patients through an infusion line. It is designed to prevent leakage of intravenous fluid out of the port while it is idle and to absolutely prevent air or other matter from entering the infusion line accidentally. The invention also prevents contamination and harboring of microbes. In this lesson, we will learn about the design and function of a capless medical valve, its benefits, and how it works.

Section 1: Understanding the Capless Medical Valve

**Topic 1: What is a Capless Medical Valve?**
A capless medical valve is a type of injection port that does not require a separate cap to prevent contamination. It is designed to be safe and effective in administering medications to patients through an already-installed infusion line.

**Topic 2: Benefits of a Capless Medical Valve**
The benefits of a capless medical valve include:
- Preventing leakage of intravenous fluid out of the port while it is idle
- Absolutely preventing air or other matter from entering the infusion line accidentally
- Preventing contamination and harboring of microbes
- Convenience in preventing contamination without requiring a separate cap

**Topic 3: How does a Capless Medical Valve work?**
A capless medical valve works by using a member that can be depressed to open a flowpath when a syringe tip is pushed into the valve body. The valve has a sealing mechanism that prevents leakage of intravenous fluid out of the port while it is idle. When a syringe tip is pushed into the valve body, the sealing mechanism opens up a flowpath, allowing medication to be administered to the patient.

Section 2: Design and Function of a Capless Medical Valve

**Topic 1: Design of a Capless Medical Valve**
A capless medical valve is typically designed with a valve body and a sealing mechanism. The valve body is usually made of a durable material such as plastic or metal, while the sealing mechanism is made of a flexible material that can create a seal when pressed against the syringe tip.

**Topic 2: Function of a Capless Medical Valve**
The function of a capless medical valve is to provide a safe and effective way to administer medications to patients through an already-installed infusion line. It achieves this by preventing leakage of intravenous fluid out of the port while it is idle and absolutely preventing air or other matter from entering the infusion line accidentally.

Section 3: Real-World Examples

**Topic 1: Practical Example**
A practical example of a capless medical valve can be seen in hospitals and medical facilities where patients are administered medications through an infusion line. Nurses and doctors use syringes to inject medications into the infusion line, and the capless medical valve ensures that the medication is administered safely and effectively.

**Topic 2: Mathematical Abstraction**
A mathematical abstraction of a capless medical valve can be represented by a series of equations that describe the sealing mechanism and the flowpath. For example, the equation F = ma can be used to describe the force required to open the flowpath, while the equation for pressure difference can be used to describe the sealing mechanism.

Glossary:
- Capless: A valve that does not require a separate cap to prevent contamination
- Intravenous: Within the veins
- Infusion line: A tube used to deliver fluids, medications, or nutrients into a patient's body
- Sealing mechanism: A component of the valve that creates a seal to prevent leakage
- Flowpath: A passageway for fluid to flow through

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about the design and function of a capless medical valve, its benefits, and how it works. We have also explored real-world examples and mathematical abstractions related to the topic. By understanding the importance of capless medical valves in medical settings, we can apply our knowledge to new problems and contribute to the development of safer and more effective medical devices.
