text: Governor Orders Creation Of Master Plan For Aging. Sacramento, CA — Citing that California’s over-65 population is expected to grow to 8.6-million by 2030, Governor Gavin Newsom is calling for the creation of a Master Plan for Aging.. His Executive Order mandates that it be finalized by October 1st of next year. It will serve as a blueprint for state government, local communities, private organizations and philanthropy to build environments that promote healthy aging.. “The Golden State is getting grayer and we need to be ready for the major population changes headed our way,” said Newsom. “An aging population will introduce new opportunities for economic and community growth but also drive increased health and long-term care costs.”. The plan will be developed by a committee of stakeholders. Newsom says it must address things like person-centered care, the patchwork of public services, social isolation, bed-locked seniors in need of transportation and the nursing shortage.

With support for legalization at 60 percent nationwide, there are many politicians less popular than marijuana.

Seeing as how he’s tied for the lowest approval rating in state history—18 percent; Nixon scored nearly twice as high and this after Watergate—scandal-ridden New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is only the most prominent example. (As it happens, the last time fewer than 20 percent of Americans thought weed was good and cool was when Richard Nixon was plotting against it.)

Barring an indictment, Christie’s term (and, almost certainly, his political career) will end in January 2018. Much of his time as a lame-duck with *some* clout in Washington—why else would respectable newspapers bother to publish speculation about his chance to succeed James Comey as FBI director?—should be occupied by running Trump’s national task force on ending the opiate crisis, his plum appointment for being the first Republican presidential candidate to abandon principles in favor of naked ambition and back Trump.

Deaths from drug overdoses increased 214 percent in New Jersey during Christie’s term, and opiate overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in much of the country.

Maybe he’ll get around to it.

Maybe he’ll even let us know what his plan might be.

Nah.

Instead, Christie is slamming marijuana legalization every chance he gets, using all his characteristic wit and subtlety.

During a radio appearance in the fall, Christie called tax revenue from marijuana sales “blood money.” Just last week, Christie declared state lawmakers’ nascent effort to legalize cannabis a liberal plot to poison children—and took credit for the doing everything he could to slow down any change in drug policy in New Jersey.

“I am the only thing that has stood between legalized pot in this state and you for seven years,” Christie crowed last week, during a public diatribe AlterNet characterized as an “unhinged, Reefer Madness rant.”

Why so mad? Because Christie gambled much on keeping marijuana illegal, and lost worse than Daddy Trump did in Atlantic City (without winning his casino losses back in bankruptcy court).

Early in his campaign for president, Christie pledged to end Colorado’s legalization experiment and leaned hard on his obstructionist record in Jersey. When that collapsed, Christie has kept his messaging on point with Attorney General Jeff Sessions—a great look in a blue state, and surely not at all a desperate attempt to remain relevant in the White House.

Despite Christie’s best efforts, weed is so popular in New Jersey that it could be one of the first states to legalize the drug via the legislative process rather than at the ballot.

State Sen. Nick Scutari is planning to introduce legislation to do just that, with support from Senate President Stephen Sweeney. Since Democrats control the state legislature in Jersey, lawmakers can sign on without any fear of a backroom backstab. Legalization is so mainstream in Jersey that the Star-Ledger, the state’s largest newspaper, published an editorial in support.

Voters like it so much that Phil Murphy, the leading Democratic candidate to fill Christie’s ample shoes, says he supports the effort. Murphy’s probable Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, will likely do whatever she can to distance herself from her toxic predecessor, which is why she has yet to take a stance on the issue.

If anything, marijuana will likely hurt Guadagno.

New Jersey approved medical marijuana way back in 2012. Five years on, the state only has five dispensaries, which are allowed to serve only 11,800 patients, as NJ.com recently reported.

Considering that studies in other states have shown opiate deaths drop by more than 10 percent in states where medical marijuana is legal, and overdose deaths doubled during Christie’s tenure, you could absolutely make the argument that Chris Christie’s policies have literally killed people.

Considering Guadagno was Christie’s second-in-command during his entire term in office, she’ll have to do some explaining—and, if she’s smart, some distancing.

As it is, she’s shied away from criticizing Christie, going as far as to say that she believes him when he says he had no knowledge of the brewing Bridgegate scandal. (Note: She is one of only a few credulous souls in New Jersey who think this way.)

Scutari might wait until he has a friendly governor next year to push legalization hard, as Chris Christie appears more than willing to squander what little political capital he has left by waging a vastly unpopular and ultimately futile fight against marijuana.

If he had really wanted to do nothing but be a barrier—literally and figuratively—he’d have served his state better by laying down in traffic. He’d have saved lives.

**Section 1: Introduction**

Marijuana, also known as cannabis, has been used for medicinal and recreational purposes for centuries. However, in the early 20th century, it became illegal in the United States due to fears that it caused addiction and crime. Today, attitudes towards marijuana are changing, and many states have legalized it for medicinal or recreational use.

**Section 2: The History of Marijuana Prohibition**

The prohibition of marijuana in the United States began in 1937 when the Marihuana Tax Act was passed. This act made it difficult for individuals to purchase marijuana legally by requiring them to pay a tax and register with the government. In 1951, the Boggs Act was passed, which increased penalties for drug offenses, including marijuana. In 1970, President Nixon declared a war on drugs, and the Controlled Substances Act was passed, classifying marijuana as a Schedule I drug, meaning it had no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

**Section 3: Potential Benefits and Drawbacks of Marijuana Legalization**

There are several potential benefits to legalizing marijuana, including:

- Generating revenue for states through taxation
- Reducing the criminal justice system's workload
- Providing patients with access to medicinal marijuana for treating various conditions

However, there are also potential drawbacks, such as:

- Increased accessibility to marijuana, which may lead to increased use and addiction
- Unclear long-term health effects of marijuana use
- Potential negative impacts on public health and safety

**Section 4: Analyzing Perspectives on Marijuana Legalization**

There are many different perspectives on marijuana legalization, including those of politicians, law enforcement officials, healthcare professionals, and the general public. Students will analyze these perspectives by examining arguments for and against legalization and considering potential solutions to the challenges posed by marijuana legalization.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, marijuana legalization is a complex issue with many potential benefits and drawbacks. By understanding the history of marijuana prohibition, analyzing different perspectives on legalization, and considering potential benefits and drawbacks, students can develop their own opinions on this important topic.

**Glossary:**

- Marijuana: A plant that contains psychoactive and medicinal properties

Q:

What's the difference between "direct:" and to() in Apache Camel?

The DirectComponent documentation gives the following example:
from("activemq:queue:order.in")
    .to("bean:orderServer?method=validate")
    .to("direct:processOrder");

from("direct:processOrder")
    .to("bean:orderService?method=process")
    .to("activemq:queue:order.out");

Is there any difference between that and the following?
from("activemq:queue:order.in")
    .to("bean:orderServer?method=validate")
    .to("bean:orderService?method=process")
    .to("activemq:queue:order.out");

I've tried to find documentation on what the behaviour of the to() method is on the Java DSL, but beyond the RouteDefinition javadoc (which gives the very curt "Sends the exchange to the given endpoint") I've come up blank :(

A:

In the very case above, you will not notice much difference. The "direct" component is much like a method call.
Once you start build a bit more complex routes, you will want to segment them in several different parts for multiple reasons.
You can, for instance, create "sub routes" that could be reused among multiple routes in your Camel context. Much like you segment out methods in regular programming to allow reusability and make code more clear. The same goes for sub routes using, for instance the direct component.
The same approach can be extended. Say you want multiple protocols to be used as endpoints to your route. You can use the direct endpoint to create the main route, something like this:
// Three endpoints to one "main" route.
from("activemq:queue:order.in")
  .to("direct:processOrder");

from("file:some/file/path")
  .to("direct:processOrder");

from("jetty:http://0.0.0.0/order/in")
  .to("direct:processOrder");

from("direct:processOrder")
  .to("bean:orderService?method=process")
  .to("activemq:queue:order.out");

Another thing is that one route is created for each "from()" clause in DSL. A route is an artifact in Camel, and you could do certain administrative tasks towards it with the Camel API, such as start, stop, add, remove routes dynamically. The "to" clause is just an endpoint call.
Once starting to do some real cases with somewhat complexity in Camel, you will note that you cannot get too many "direct" routes.

Lesson: Introduction to Routing in Apache Camel

### Overview

Apache Camel is an open-source integration framework that allows you to connect different systems, applications, and data formats. It provides a powerful and flexible routing mechanism that enables you to define complex message processing flows. In this lesson, we will introduce the basics of routing in Apache Camel, including the use of direct components and to() methods.

### Section 1: Introduction to Routing in Apache Camel

Routing in Apache Camel is the process of directing messages from one endpoint to another based on specific conditions or rules. The routing process involves selecting the appropriate route for a message based on its properties or content. In this lesson, we will explore the different ways of routing messages in Apache Camel, including the use of direct components and to() methods.

### Section 2: Direct Components in Apache Camel

Direct components are used to send messages directly to a specific endpoint without going through any other routes or transformations. They are typically used when you want to send messages directly to a bean or a method, or when you want to send messages directly to a JMS destination.

Here is an example of using a direct component in Apache Camel:

```java
from("activemq:queue:order.in")
    .to("bean:orderServer?method=validate")
    .to("direct:processOrder");

from("direct:processOrder")
    .to("bean:orderService?method=process")
    .to("activemq:queue:order.out");
```

In this example, the first route sends messages from the "order.in" queue to the "validate" method of the "orderServer" bean. The second route then sends the processed messages to the "orderService" bean's "process" method before sending them to the "order.out" queue.

### Section 3: to() Method in Apache Camel

The to() method is used to send messages to a specific endpoint. It can be used with various types of endpoints, such as beans, methods, JMS destinations, and more.

Here is an example of using the to() method in Apache Camel:

```java
from("activemq:queue:order.in")
    .to("bean:orderServer?method=validate")
    .to("bean:orderService?method=process")
    .to("activemq:queue:order.out");
```

In this example, the first route sends messages from the "order.in" queue to the "validate" method of the "orderServer" bean. The second route then sends the processed messages to the "orderService" bean's "process" method before sending them to the "order.out" queue.

### Section 4: Conclusion

In this lesson, we have introduced the basics of routing in Apache Camel, including the use of direct components and to() methods. We have also explored how to use direct components to send messages directly to a specific endpoint and how to use the to() method to send messages to a specific endpoint.

By mastering the routing mechanisms in Apache Camel, you will be able to create complex message processing flows that integrate different systems, applications, and data formats.

## Lesson: The Importance of Context in Art
### Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of context in art. We will explore how artists use context to create meaning and convey messages. We will also learn about the different types of context that can be used in art and how they can affect the interpretation of the artwork.
### Section 1: Understanding Context in Art
Context refers to the circumstances or environment in which something is produced or occurs. In art, context can be used to create meaning and convey messages. It can also help to establish a connection between the artist and the audience.
### Section 2: Types of Context in Art
There are several types of context that can be used in art, including:
- Historical context: This refers to the time period in which the artwork was created. It can help to provide context for the artwork and give the audience a better understanding of the artist's intentions.
- Cultural context: This refers to the culture or society in which the artwork was created. It can help to provide insight into the artist's experiences and influences.
- Personal context: This refers to the personal experiences of the artist. It can help to provide insight into the artist's motivations and inspirations.
- Aesthetic context: This refers to the visual elements of the artwork, such as color, shape, and composition. It can help to create a mood or atmosphere that enhances the overall meaning of the artwork.
### Section 3: Analyzing Context in Art
To analyze context in art, we need to consider the following:
- What is the historical context of the artwork? How does it relate to the artist's experiences and influences?
- What is the cultural context of the artwork? How does it relate to the artist's experiences and influences?
- What is the personal context of the artwork? How does it relate to the artist's motivations and inspirations?
- What is the aesthetic context of the artwork? How does it relate to the overall meaning and message of the artwork?
### Section 4: Applying Context in Art
Once we have analyzed the context of an artwork, we can use this information to interpret the meaning and message of the artwork. We can also use this information to make connections between the artwork and our own experiences and perspectives.
### Conclusion
In conclusion, context is an important element in art. It can help to create meaning and convey messages, and it can also help to establish a connection between the artist and the audience. By analyzing the context of an artwork, we can gain a deeper understanding of the artist's intentions and motivations, and we can use this information to interpret the artwork in a more meaningful way.

Lesson: How to Critique Reviews

Introduction:
Reviews are an essential part of any product or service. They provide valuable feedback to businesses and consumers alike. However, not all reviews are created equal. Some reviews are poorly written and lack substance, making them difficult to understand and act upon. In this lesson, we will learn how to critique reviews effectively.

Section 1: Understanding the Review

The first step in critiquing a review is to understand its content. Read the review carefully and identify the reviewer's main points. Pay attention to their tone and language. This will help you determine whether the review is positive or negative and what specific issues the reviewer has with the product or service.

Questions:
1. What is the reviewer's overall opinion of the product or service?
2. What specific issues do they have with it?
3. How does the reviewer communicate their thoughts and feelings about the product or service?

Section 2: Analyzing the Review

Once you have a clear understanding of the review's content, analyze it to identify its strengths and weaknesses. Consider the following:

1. Is the review well-written and easy to understand?
2. Does the reviewer provide specific examples to support their opinions?
3. Are the reviewer's arguments logical and coherent?
4. Does the review contain any spelling or grammar errors?

Questions:
1. How well-written is the review?
2. Are the reviewer's opinions supported by specific examples?
3. Are the arguments presented in a logical and coherent manner?
4. Are there any spelling or grammar errors that could affect the review's credibility?

Section 3: Evaluating the Review

After analyzing the review, evaluate its credibility and usefulness. Consider the following:

1. Is the reviewer's opinion based on personal preferences or actual flaws in the product or service?
2. Does the reviewer have a history of writing credible reviews?
3. Does the review seem influenced by external factors, such as competing products or services?

Questions:
1. Is the review based on personal preferences or actual flaws in the product or service?
2. Does the reviewer have a history of writing credible reviews?
3. Does the review seem influenced by external factors, such as competing products or services?

Glossary:
- Review: A critical assessment of a product or service, usually written by a consumer.
- Credibility: The quality of being trustworthy or reliable.
- Coherent: Logically connected and consistent.

Conclusion:
Effective critique of reviews requires careful analysis and evaluation of the review's content, structure, and credibility. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can learn to critique reviews effectively and make informed decisions about the products and services you choose.


text: BitTorrent Urges Web Carriers to Bolster P2P By Staff Published on November 16, 2007. BitTorrent CEO Ashwin Navin says high-speed Web providers should accommodate the peer-to-peer technology that more services are using to distribute Web video, BeetTV reports. Internet service providers need to upgrade because large media companies need P2P to deliver their content, Navin said. It’s a theme that’s hot right now, as broadband providers are being accused of restricting P2P data flow as they manage their network traffic. Most Popular In this article: Web Video Report News

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Technology

**Objective:** To understand the basic principles of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology and its applications in distributing web video.

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

- P2P is a decentralized system that allows users to share files directly with each other without the need for a central server.
- In a P2P network, each user acts as both a client and a server, meaning they can request and provide files to other users.
- P2P technology is commonly used for file sharing, online gaming, and voice over IP (VoIP).

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

- A popular example of P2P technology is BitTorrent, which is used to distribute large files such as movies, music, and software.
- BitTorrent works by breaking down a file into small pieces called "packets" and sending them to multiple users simultaneously.
- This reduces the load on the server and speeds up the download process for users.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**

- As more media companies use P2P technology to distribute web video, high-speed internet providers must adapt to accommodate the increased demand.
- This is because P2P technology is essential for delivering high-quality video content to users.

Lesson: Introduction to Web Design

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Web design is the process of creating and maintaining websites. It involves a variety of skills and disciplines such as graphic design, user experience (UX) design, and search engine optimization (SEO). A good web designer should be able to create a website that is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and optimized for search engines.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's take a look at some practical examples of web design. The first one is the website for Just Trains. The website has a simple layout with a top navigation bar that includes links to different pages on the site. The homepage also includes images of the store and information about upcoming events.

The second example is a website for a local coffee shop. The website has a colorful design with images of coffee cups and pastries. The menu is easily accessible from the homepage, and customers can also find information about the cafe's location and hours of operation.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Real-world scenarios are important in web design because they help designers understand how their work will be used by real people. For example, a designer might create a website for a small business that needs to attract new customers. They would need to consider factors such as the target audience, the business's branding, and the website's purpose (e.g., selling products, providing information).

### Glossary

Lesson: The Art of Handmade Floor Tiles
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the art of handmade floor tiles and how they are created. We will explore the history of this craft, the materials used, and the techniques involved in creating these beautiful works of art.
Section 1: History of Handmade Floor Tiles
Handmade floor tiles have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, and Persians. They were originally made from clay and were used to decorate palaces and public buildings. Over time, the craft of making handmade floor tiles was almost lost, but it has been revived in recent years by artists and craftsmen who appreciate its beauty and intricacy.
Section 2: Materials Used in Handmade Floor Tiles
To create handmade floor tiles, artists use a variety of materials, including clay, glaze, and pigments. These materials are combined to create unique designs and patterns that reflect the personality and style of the artist. The clay used in handmade floor tiles is usually a mixture of natural and synthetic materials that are fired at high temperatures to create a durable and long-lasting product.
Section 3: Techniques Used in Handmade Floor Tiles
The process of creating handmade floor tiles involves several steps, including preparing the clay, shaping the tiles, and applying glaze and pigments. Once the clay has been prepared, it is rolled out into thin sheets and cut into small pieces. These pieces are then shaped using a variety of tools, such as molds and rollers. After the tiles have been shaped, they are allowed to dry before being fired in a kiln. During this firing process, the clay hardens and the colors and patterns are applied.
Section 4: The Art of Handmade Floor Tiles
One of the most important aspects of handmade floor tiles is their artistic nature. Artists and craftsmen take great care in designing and creating each tile, using their creativity and skill to produce unique and beautiful works of art. The intricate patterns and designs of handmade floor tiles reflect the attention to detail and dedication of the artists who create them.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, handmade floor tiles are a beautiful and intricate art form that has been revived by artists and craftsmen who appreciate its history and beauty.

Lesson: How to Make Bath Bombs

Introduction:
Making your own bath bombs is a fun and easy way to create a relaxing spa experience at home. In this lesson, we will learn how to make bath bombs using Natrasorb powder, a common ingredient in bath bomb recipes. We will cover the materials needed, the steps involved, and some tips for success.

Materials:
- Natrasorb powder
- Baking soda
- Citric acid
- Essential oils or fragrance oil
- Food coloring (optional)
- Silicone mold or plastic container with lid

Steps:
1. Start by measuring out the appropriate amount of Natrasorb powder for your recipe. This will act as the base for your bath bomb.
2. Add the baking soda to the Natrasorb powder and mix well. Baking soda is a drying agent that will help to absorb moisture from the air and create a fizzing effect when added to water.
3. Slowly add the citric acid to the mixture while stirring continuously. Citric acid is an acidifier that will react with the baking soda to create carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the bath bomb to fizz and expand.
4. Add your chosen essential oils or fragrance oil to the mixture. This will give your bath bomb its scent. You can also add food coloring for a fun, colorful effect.
5. Once all the ingredients are well combined, spoon the mixture into your silicone mold or plastic container with lid. Press down firmly to compact the mixture and release any air bubbles.
6. Place the mold or container in a cool, dry place to allow the bath bomb to fully dry and harden. This can take anywhere from 24 hours to a week, depending on the size of your bath bomb.
7. Once the bath bomb is fully dried and hardened, gently remove it from the mold or container and store it in a safe place until you're ready to use it.

Tips:
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately to ensure consistent results.
- Use a digital scale to measure the precise amount of each ingredient needed for your recipe.
- Wear gloves when handling the citric acid, as it can be irritating to the skin.
- Be patient when waiting for the bath bomb to dry and harden completely. Rushing this step can result in a bath bomb that doesn't fizz properly.

Conclusion:
Making your own bath bombs is a fun and easy DIY project that can be customized to suit your preferences. With the right ingredients and steps, you can create a relaxing spa experience at home that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Tight-Lipped and Stoked

Digging up Some Dirt on the Coast

April 11th, 2012

OK, so the Brown Pow video was a joke but it did contain a lot of truth. When we visited the Coastal Crew back in March we wanted to get the low down on the new sponsor arrangement but we were told to bite our tongues until the boys were ready to announce it officially. The Brown Pow video came about in part because we wanted to interview them about the new arrangement and get the story out without blowing their cover just yet. Anyone shrewd enough could see through the murky brown pow references and see that the video contains the boys’ genuine reaction to questions of the Specialized deal:

April Fools!

“It means a lot. Having the best product in the industry is a big thing… we are so pumped to announce that this year we are working with such an important company to us.” – Dylan Dunkerton

“The new sponsor for the year is awesome. It’s a huge opportunity for us and one we have looked forward to for a long time. Now that it’s a reality we couldn’t be more stoked.” – Kyle Norbraten

I’m of the opinion that the The Coastal Crew are like a goose that lays solid gold eggs all day long. The value and exposure they bring to their sponsors is remarkable and seeing them get signed by a company like Specialized who have the support, infrastructure, and also common sense to let them carry on doing what they have been doing can only mean that you and I, the lucky viewers, will be provided with more top notch video goodness for a long time to come.

The Coastal Crew does great things and Specialized is clever enough to want to be a part of it. More so, it does not seem that being under the wing of the Big Red S corporate banner will hamper them at all and it looks like the creativity that the Coastal Crew are known for will not be corralled by the meddlesome marketing gurus.

“Not a whole lot will change, we still get to keep doing everything we enjoy most, only it will be focused on projects that we want to do. We are going to keep up our web presence this year and do more traveling. Once we get into production of our next film we will be full tilt just like we were last year”, says Kyle Norbraten.

Tools of the trade.

The shed has everything. Including pallets of Brown Pow. Kyle imbibes with Brown Pow.

Everything is stickered.

Trucks loaded, rain holding, rally on.

Plans are already afoot for the follow up to The Inside Out, and which will be released this time next year all things going to plan. Filming has not begun, but the trail building has. On top of holding down the new video project, they have vowed to have regular content on the internet. One of these projects will be having cameos in a brand new YouTube series produced by Freeride Ent. based around Brandon Semenuk, called ‘Life Behind Bars’. The series is about Brandon and his riding buddies. It’s a look into his riding, his everyday life, his friends and the antics that go on in between everything.

Big Red S support the Coastal Crew.

Kyle is all smiles now.

Curtis lights up.

The Coastal Crew have worked hard and truly deserve the support and opportunities they get. They aren’t going to let this chance of a lifetime slip as Kyle explains:

“There will be more to come with our next film project. We are just looking forward to getting out and riding more, and teaming up with more film crews so we can have opportunities to focus on more riding rather than wondering if the batteries are charged in our own cameras. Not meaning we are stopping our own productions, but you know what I mean. We have assembled all the right sponsors to be behind us so we are fully confident in any goals or projects we take on.”

Cool, calm and not one bit frazzled. Perfection is the weight Matt Dennison has to bear.

Dylan guzzles the Pow.

Staying tight-lipped about this announcement was tough, but at least we had some fun with it in the meantime. We’re super stoked for the boys and can’t wait to see what they’ll come up with this year.

Lesson: Understanding the Impact of Sponsorship in Skateboarding

Introduction:
Skateboarding is a popular sport that has gained a massive following over the years. Like any other sport, skateboarding requires equipment, which can be expensive for beginners. Therefore, sponsorship plays a crucial role in helping skaters acquire the necessary gear and exposure. In this lesson, we will explore the impact of sponsorship in skateboarding, including its benefits, challenges, and the role it plays in the growth of the sport.

Section 1: The Benefits of Sponsorship in Skateboarding

Sponsorship provides several benefits to skaters and the sport as a whole. Some of these benefits include:

1. Access to equipment: Sponsorship enables skaters to access high-quality equipment at a reduced cost or even for free. This is essential for beginners who may not have the financial means to purchase expensive gear.

2. Exposure: Sponsorship provides skaters with an opportunity to showcase their talent and gain exposure. This can lead to more opportunities, including appearances in magazines, videos, and competitions.

3. Networking: Sponsorship allows skaters to connect with other professionals in the industry, such as photographers, videographers, and event organizers. These connections can lead to more opportunities and help skaters grow their career.

4. Support: Sponsors often provide support to skaters in terms of guidance, mentorship, and resources. This can help skaters improve their skills and reach their full potential.

Section 2: The Challenges of Sponsorship in Skateboarding

While sponsorship has several benefits, it also comes with some challenges. Some of these challenges include:

1. Competition: There is often stiff competition among skaters for limited sponsorship opportunities. As a result, skaters may have to work hard to stand out and attract the attention of potential sponsors.

2. Pressure: Sponsored skaters may feel pressure to perform well and maintain a positive image. This pressure can be stressful and affect their performance.

3. Loyalty: Skaters may be tempted to switch teams for better opportunities or more money. This can lead to a lack of loyalty among skaters, making it difficult for sponsors to build long-term relationships with their athletes.

Section 3: The Role of Sponsorship in the Growth of Skateboarding

Sponsorship plays a significant role in the growth of skateboarding as a sport. Some of the ways in which sponsorship contributes to the growth of skateboarding include:

1. Funding: Sponsorship provides funding for events, competitions, and other initiatives that help grow the sport.

2. Exposure: Sponsorship helps increase the visibility of skateboarding, attracting more people to the sport and helping it gain mainstream acceptance.

3. Development: Sponsorship helps fund the development of new skateparks, which provides more opportunities for skaters to practice and showcase their talent.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, sponsorship is an essential aspect of skateboarding, providing benefits such as access to equipment, exposure, networking opportunities, and support. However, it also comes with challenges such as competition, pressure, and loyalty issues. Despite these challenges, sponsorship plays a vital role in the growth of the sport by providing funding, exposure, and development opportunities. By understanding the impact of sponsorship, skaters and sponsors can work together to grow the sport and provide more opportunities for future generations.

Glossary:

- Sponsorship: A financial contribution provided by a company to an individual or team in exchange for promotion or publicity.
- Exposure: The amount of attention or awareness generated by an event, person, or product.

Lesson: Introduction to File Systems and Access Control

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will learn about file systems and access control. We will explore the different types of file systems, how they store data, and how to control access to files and directories.

**Section 1: What is a File System?**
A file system is a way of organizing and storing data on a computer or device. It provides a hierarchical structure that allows users to create, delete, rename, and move files and directories. There are several types of file systems, including FAT32, NTFS, and EXT4.

**Section 2: How do File Systems Store Data?**
File systems store data in a hierarchical structure, similar to a tree. The root of the tree is the top-level directory, which contains other directories and files. Each directory can contain other directories and files, and so on. The operating system manages the file system and keeps track of where each file and directory is stored on the physical storage device.

**Section 3: Access Control**
Access control is a way of limiting who can access a file or directory. This is important because it helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. There are several ways to control access to files and directories, including setting permissions and using encryption.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**
Let's say you have a file called "secret.txt" that you want to keep private. You could set the permission on the file to be only readable by yourself, like this:

```
chmod 600 secret.txt
```

This would prevent anyone else from reading the contents of the file.

**Section 5: Conclusion**
In this lesson, we learned about file systems and access control. We explored the different types of file systems, how they store data, and how to control access to files and directories. By understanding these concepts, we can better protect our data and ensure that only authorized users have access to it.

**Glossary:**
- **File System:** A way of organizing and storing data on a computer or device.
- **Directory:** A collection of files and other directories.
- **Permission:** A setting that controls who can access a file or directory.
- **Encryption:** The process of converting data into a code to prevent unauthorized access.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

1. What is a parody?
A parody is a form of entertainment that imitates or makes fun of another work of art. It often uses humor to make a commentary on the original work.

2. How does a parody differ from a satire?
A parody is a lighthearted imitation of a work, while a satire is a serious critique that uses irony, sarcasm, or ridicule to expose the flaws of society or individuals.

3. What are some common elements of a parody?
Common elements of a parody include exaggeration, humor, and a reference to the original work.

Section 2: Practical Examples

4. How can you come up with a parody?
To come up with a parody, start by listening to the original work and identifying its key elements. Then, think of a way to twist those elements to create a humorous effect.

5. What are some techniques used in writing parodies?
Techniques used in writing parodies include rhyme, repetition, and wordplay. For example, in our parody of "Someone Like You," we use repetition to emphasize the singer's misery and exaggerate the situation.

6. How do you maintain the original tone of the work while still making it funny?
To maintain the original tone while writing a parody, pay attention to the style, language, and tone of the original work. Use these elements to create a parody that is similar in style but different in content.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

7. Can you give an example of a successful parody?
One example of a successful parody is "The Elements of Style" by parody group The Harvard Lampoon. This parody takes the style guide by Strunk and White and turns it into a humorous poem that pokes fun at the book's advice.

8. How can you use parodies in everyday life?
Parodies can be used to lighten the mood in any situation where someone needs to relax and have a good laugh. They can also be used to make a point or express an opinion in a creative way.

Glossary:
- Parody: A lighthearted imitation of a work of art.
- Satire: A serious critique that uses irony, sarcasm, or ridicule to expose flaws.
- Elements of a parody: Exaggeration, humor, and reference to the original work.

Conclusion:
Writing parodies is a fun and creative way to express your sense of humor. By using the techniques we learned in this lesson, you can create your own parodies and share them with others. Remember to always use humor in a positive way and to respect the original work of art.


text: Okuda staging system. Dr Matt A. Morgan ◉ et al.. The Okuda staging system was an advance on earlier hepatocellular (HCC) staging classifications, in that it incorporated both cancer-related variables and liver function related variables to determine prognosis 1:. - disease involving >50% of hepatic parenchyma. - ascites. - albumin ≤3 mg/dL. - bilirubin ≥3 mg/dL. These are combined into stages:. - stage A: 0 criteria. - stage B: 1-2 criteria. - stage C: 3-4 criteria. Higher stages were correlated with a poorer prognosis.. History and etymology. The staging classification was published by K Okuda et al in 1985.. See also. References. - 1. Okuda K, Ohtsuki T, Obata H et-al.

Lesson: Understanding Medical Staging Systems

Introduction:
Medical staging systems are used by doctors to classify and describe the severity of a patient's condition. In this lesson, we will learn about the Okuda staging system, which is used to stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Core Value:
The Okuda staging system is a medical staging system that combines both cancer-related variables and liver function-related variables to determine a patient's prognosis.

Section 1: What is the Okuda Staging System?

The Okuda staging system is a staging classification for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It was developed by K. Okuda and published in 1985. The staging system takes into account both cancer-related variables and liver function-related variables to determine the severity of a patient's condition.

Section 2: How does the Okuda Staging System work?

The Okuda staging system has four stages:

1. Stage A: No criteria (no tumor).
2. Stage B: 1-2 criteria (small tumor, no spread).
3. Stage C: 3-4 criteria (larger tumor, possible spread).
4. Stage D: 5 or more criteria (advanced cancer, spread to other organs).

To determine a patient's stage, doctors look at several factors, including the size of the tumor, whether it has spread to other parts of the body, and the patient's overall liver function.

Section 3: Why is the Okuda Staging System important?

The Okuda staging system is important because it helps doctors determine the severity of a patient's HCC and make informed decisions about treatment options. Patients with higher stages may require more aggressive treatments, while those with lower stages may be able to undergo less invasive procedures.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, the Okuda staging system is a valuable tool for doctors who treat patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. By taking into account both cancer-related variables and liver function-related variables, the staging system provides a more accurate picture of a patient's condition and helps doctors determine the best course of treatment. By understanding the Okuda staging system, we can better understand the severity of HCC and the importance of early detection and treatment.

Sure, I'd be happy to help! Let's break down the core value of the input text, which is the question of whether to buy or rent a camera.
Lesson: Should I Buy or Rent a Camera?
Introduction: In this lesson, we will explore the pros and cons of buying versus renting a camera. We will cover the costs involved, the benefits of each option, and provide practical examples to help you make an informed decision.
Section 1: Costs Involved in Buying a Camera
- Buying a camera requires a significant investment upfront. This includes the cost of the camera body, lenses, and other accessories.
- Once you own a camera, you may need to spend money on maintenance and repairs.
- You may also need to invest in storage and backup equipment.
Section 2: Benefits of Buying a Camera
- Owning a camera gives you the flexibility to shoot whenever you want, without having to worry about rental costs or availability.
- You can also customize your camera setup to fit your specific needs and style.
- Having your own equipment can also make you more attractive to clients who are looking for a dedicated photographer.
Section 3: Costs Involved in Renting a Camera
- Renting a camera is a more flexible option that allows you to try out different types of equipment before making a long-term investment.
- However, rental costs can add up quickly, especially if you are shooting a large project or working on a tight budget.
- You may also need to factor in transportation and insurance costs.
Section 4: Benefits of Renting a Camera
- Renting a camera allows you to try out new equipment without making a large investment upfront.
- You can also take advantage of the latest technology and features without having to upgrade your gear every year.
- Renting can also be a cost-effective option for short-term projects or events.
Conclusion: Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a camera depends on your specific needs and circumstances. If you plan on shooting frequently or require a specific type of equipment, it may be more cost-effective to purchase your own gear.

Lesson: How to Teach Dance Moves Relatably

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to teach dance moves relatably. We will explore the principles of good teaching, including how to break down complex movements into simpler steps, use analogies to make abstract concepts concrete, and create a positive learning environment. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply these principles to any dance style or level of experience.

Section 1: Principles of Good Teaching

1.1. Break Down Complex Movements into Simpler Steps:
Good teachers know how to break down complex movements into simpler steps that are easy for their students to follow. This helps students build confidence and mastery one step at a time. For example, when teaching a challenging footwork pattern, a good teacher might break it down into smaller parts, such as "step forward with your left foot," "shift your weight to your right foot," and "step back with your left foot." By doing so, the teacher makes it easier for the student to learn and remember the movement.

1.2. Use Analogies to Make Abstract Concepts Concrete:
Another principle of good teaching is using analogies to make abstract concepts concrete. For instance, when teaching a turn, a good teacher might use an analogy from everyday life, such as "think of yourself as a spinning top" or "imagine you're a figure skater doing a spin." This helps students visualize and understand the movement better.

1.3. Create a Positive Learning Environment:
Finally, good teachers create a positive learning environment where students feel safe to make mistakes and grow. They encourage their students, provide constructive feedback, and celebrate their achievements. A positive learning environment fosters motivation, resilience, and creativity – all essential qualities for successful learning.

Section 2: Applying the Principles of Good Teaching to Dance

2.1. Breaking Down Movements:
Now that we have explored the principles of good teaching, let's see how they apply to dance. When teaching a new move, start by breaking it down into smaller parts. For example, when teaching a grapevine step, you could first demonstrate "step to the side with your right foot," then "brush your left foot next to your right," and finally "step back with your left foot." As your students master each part, gradually combine them into the complete movement.

2.2. Using Analogies:
Next, let's look at how analogies can help students understand complex movements. Suppose you're teaching a pivot turn. You could say, "Imagine you're a soccer player making a quick turn to pass the ball. Use your hips to initiate the turn, and keep your shoulders facing forward." This analogy helps students visualize and execute the movement more effectively.

2.3. Creating a Positive Learning Environment:
Finally, let's consider how to create a positive learning environment for your students. Encourage your students to give their best effort, even if they make mistakes. Celebrate their successes, and provide constructive feedback that helps them improve. Remember, a positive learning environment fosters motivation, resilience, and creativity – all essential qualities for successful learning.

Conclusion:
By applying the principles of good teaching to your dance instruction, you can help your students learn more effectively and enjoy their dance experience more fully. Remember to break down complex movements into simpler steps, use analogies to make abstract concepts concrete, and create a positive learning environment. With these tools in hand, you'll be well on your way to becoming an excellent dance teacher.

Glossary:
- Good teaching: The process of imparting knowledge, skills, and values to others.
- Analogies: Comparisons between two things to help explain one thing in terms of the other.
- Positive learning environment: A classroom atmosphere that encourages curiosity, risk-taking, and respect.

text: Araman. Araman was the northern coastland of Aman, north of Valinor, that lay outside the mountain-fence of the Pelóri. It was deserted, mountainous and frozen because of its neighbouring with Helcaraxë which joined it with Beleriand.. History. This was the way Melkor (passing through Oiomúrë), and later the Noldor took into Exile. In Araman the host of the Noldor heard the Doom of Mandos, delivered by a dark figure standing upon a high rock. Upon hearing the prophecy the host divided, with the followers of Fëanor pressing onward while those of Finarfin turned back. Later, when Fëanor and his kin burnt their ships at Losgar, Fingolfin in Araman knew that he had been betrayed and that their only course was to march across the Helcaraxë.[1]. Etymology. Araman is Quenya for "outside Aman", consisting of ar + Aman.[2][3], "Appendix: Elements in Quenya and Sindarin Names", entries ar- and mān-. - ↑ Helge Fauskanger, "Quenya Corpus Wordlist", Ardalambion (accessed 16 February 2013)

Lesson: Understanding Quenya, the Elvish Language

Introduction:
In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, there are many languages spoken by different races. One of these languages is Quenya, the language of the Elves. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of Quenya grammar, vocabulary, and syntax.

Grammar:
Quenya is an agglutinative language, meaning that words are formed by adding affixes to a root word. Nouns are generally marked for singular or plural, and adjectives agree with the noun they modify. Verbs are conjugated for tense, person, number, and mood.

Vocabulary:
Here are some basic Quenya words to get started:
- Nouns: lassi (man), yavanna (woman), karan (friend), kementari (tree)
- Adjectives: alda (happy), erin (beautiful), kili (black), olwa (great)
- Verbs: aran (walk), estel (hope), i- (to be), ol (to have)

Syntax:
Quenya has a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order. However, the subject can sometimes be dropped if it is implied or already known. Adjectives generally come after the noun they modify, and adverbs come before the verb they modify.

Example Sentence:
Lassi yavanna karan kementari alda olwa.
Man woman friend tree happy great have.
Translation: "The man has a beautiful black tree."

Conclusion:
Understanding Quenya, the Elvish language, can deepen our appreciation for Tolkien's world-building and enrich our reading experience. By learning the basics of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax, we can begin to understand and even speak the languages of Middle-earth.

text: Bertrand introduces the Solar Impulse project, an airplane that flies day and night with no fuel whatsoever. It is currently on a round the world flight to show what can be achieved with clean technology. Bertrand does not agree with activists that it’s useful to protest anymore, he thinks at COP21 everyone is already convinced about the need for climate action and what is needed is presenting solutions in the negotiating room. He explains that five years ago we had the solutions but they were too expensive, today they are affordable. He is optimistic that COP21 will be successful and tells Climate Home that what’s new is the understanding that the clean tech revolution is an advantage for economy and industry

While some activists believe in protesting to raise awareness about climate change, Bertrand believes that presenting solutions in the negotiating room is more effective. He explains that five years ago, the solutions to combat climate change were too expensive, but today they are affordable.

Section 5: The Future of Clean Technology
Bertrand is optimistic that COP21 will be successful, and he believes that the clean tech revolution is an advantage for the economy and industry. He tells Climate Home that what's new is the understanding that the clean tech revolution is an advantage for economy and industry.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, clean technology provides a solution to combat climate change. By reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and embracing clean technology, we can slow down the effects of climate change and create a more sustainable future. The Solar Impulse project is an excellent example of what can be achieved with clean technology, and COP21 provides a platform for presenting solutions to combat climate change. By understanding the advantages of clean technology, we can work towards a better future for ourselves and future generations.


text: Abstract. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of linear and nonlinear elliptic problems in cylindrical domains becoming unbounded in one or several directions. In particular, we give estimates of the difference between the solution in bounded domains and its limit in terms of the size ℓ of the directions going to infinity.

Lesson Title: Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions in Cylindrical Domains

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the asymptotic behavior of solutions in cylindrical domains that become unbounded in one or more directions. This concept is important in understanding how solutions change as the domain size increases.

Section 1: Linear Elliptic Problems

Topic 1: Definition of Asymptotic Behavior
- As the size of the cylindrical domain increases, the solution of a linear elliptic problem approaches a limiting value. This behavior is called asymptotic behavior.

Topic 2: Estimates of Difference Between Bounded and Unbounded Domains
- We can estimate the difference between the solution in a bounded domain and its limit in terms of the size ℓ of the direction going to infinity.

Example: Consider a linear elliptic problem in a cylindrical domain with radius R and height H. As the height H approaches infinity while keeping the radius R constant, the solution u(x, y, z) will approach a limiting value u_infty(x, y, z).

Section 2: Nonlinear Elliptic Problems

Topic 1: Definition of Asymptotic Behavior
- Similarly, in a nonlinear elliptic problem, the solution approaches a limiting value as the size of the cylindrical domain increases.

Topic 2: Estimates of Difference Between Bounded and Unbounded Domains
- We can also estimate the difference between the solution in a bounded domain and its limit in terms of the size ℓ of the direction going to infinity for nonlinear problems.

Example: Consider a nonlinear elliptic problem in a cylindrical domain with radius R and height H. As the height H approaches infinity while keeping the radius R constant, the solution u(x, y, z) will approach a limiting value u_infty(x, y, z).

Section 3: Practical Examples

Topic 1: Using Mathematical Abstractions
- We can use mathematical abstractions to understand the behavior of solutions in cylindrical domains.

Topic 2: Real-World Scenarios
- Understanding the asymptotic behavior of solutions in cylindrical domains can help us solve real-world problems, such as designing structures that can withstand high winds or earthquakes.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the asymptotic behavior of solutions in cylindrical domains that become unbounded in one or more directions. We discussed linear and nonlinear elliptic problems and estimated the difference between the solution in a bounded domain and its limit in terms of the size ℓ of the directions going to infinity. We also provided practical examples using mathematical abstractions and real-world scenarios. By understanding this concept, we can apply these skills to new problems and improve our critical thinking abilities.

Glossary:
- Asymptotic Behavior: The behavior of a solution as the size of the domain increases.
- Linear Elliptic Problem: A problem that can be solved using linear equations.
- Nonlinear Elliptic Problem: A problem that cannot be solved using linear equations.
- Limiting Value: The value that a solution approaches as the size of the domain increases.
