Terry was in Methodist Home for Children’s Craven Transitional Living Program and published a book of poetry he wrote at Dobbs Youth Development Center. He shares his story and a poem, “The White Wall Society.”

This is how I became part of The White Wall Society.

I am the youngest out of 7 children, and I was 10 years old—in 3rd grade—when I watched my father lie across the bathroom floor. He was almost naked, lying there unconscious. I watched him get put on a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance. I was forced to go to school that day, wondering if my father was going to be OK. Everything changed when I got off that yellow school bus in the afternoon and I saw all those cars in the yard. I realized my very own father was dead.

I was angry and confused. My mother had been through a lot by then, and she just checked out on me. All she could do was drink alcohol to try to stop her pain. My sisters and brothers were grown and all out on their own, and I was left alone to wonder about some of the things I was seeing.

At 10 ½, I was hanging out with 19- and 20-year-olds. At 11 years old, I was smoking and drinking with them.

I knew it was too much for my mom to raise me, and soon I wanted something else that I could call family. I was sick and tired of living off of public assistance and making F’s in school and summer school every year.

At 13 years I wanted to count my own money. I had $120 and the first ounce of weed that I ever bought. One of the older people I hung with showed me how a scale worked, and I started selling drugs. That lasted for a year and a half. I knew it wouldn’t last long. So I switched things up a bit.

I went from selling drugs to home invasions, taking electronics, money or drugs. Breaking into houses was different for me. It was a risk. You had the chance of getting shot or stabbed. I did it so much I got good at it, and I could do it alone. It wasn’t a two-man job anymore.

Then I went to sticking people up. That was wild. I felt like I was in a daze, in a rage, and I realized that I had fallen in love with the action. I didn’t really think much about what I was doing or whether I’d get caught. I knew people who were doing a lot worse, even killing, so I felt safe.

When I was 15, I stuck up a motel and I learned later that I’d scared the clerk so bad he needed mental health counseling for a while. I was arrested and charged with armed robbery, and I was sent to a detention center. From there, I was sent to a group home and then Dobbs Youth Development.

I was at Dobbs when I started to think about my life and writing, and I discovered that I had a talent for poetry. I also started to go to church and I was baptized there. After seven months, I was sent to Methodist Home for Children and its Craven Transitional Living Home.

At Craven, I could stay on the right track and get my book of poetry published—and I did, with help of Methodist Home for Children. I’m going to Craven Community College for my GED and I work at the Waffle House in New Bern. I’ve gotten help with saving money, networking and transportation. To be at the Craven Home is like going to college and living with parents who care. They have helped my dream come true. They teach us all how to live on our own. How to get a job and keep a job. I have met a lot of supportive people at Methodist Home and I am very thankful. It was truly a blessing to go through this program. These are wonderful people who care.

I never thought I would get to go to college, but thanks to Methodist Home, I am getting my education with funding and mentoring from the Hackley Education and Learning Program. I plan to get a degree in creative writing and one day earn a Ph.D. in education.

Thanks for your support of Methodist Home for Children and all the lives it has changed.

THE WHITE WALL SOCIETYBy Terry Johnson
It goes from one to probably a million and one on the white wall. Even some of the greatest have been locked up behind a door they didn't have a key to. They didn't tell you how much they really stressed.

How it was to be up in the middle of the night wishing you could go cook your own food. In some places with enough structure, you meet people who think wearing the same clothes every single day and some people bringing you food that doesn't always taste right is normal.

The White Wall Society is not where you want to be, whether you have money or not. For me, it was different because I stood alone. Being locked up wasn't a stepping stone; in my case, it was somewhat better than home.

To all those who haven't ever been locked up behind those white walls—it is not a good place. No freedom—you'll be counting bricks or bars.

Lesson: Understanding Poetry

Introduction:
Poetry is a form of literature that uses language and structure to create meaning and evoke emotions. It can be written in free verse or following specific patterns like rhyme, meter, and syllables. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of poetry, including its elements, techniques, and how to analyze and interpret poems.

Section 1: Understanding Poetry Elements

Topic 1: Lines and Stanzas
A poem consists of lines, which are groups of words separated by spaces. These lines are arranged into stanzas, which are groups of lines that form a unit. The number of lines and stanzas in a poem varies depending on the poet's choice.

Topic 2: Form and Structure
Poetry can be written in different forms, such as sonnets, haikus, and free verse. Each form has a specific structure, which includes the number of lines, stanzas, and rhyme schemes. The structure of a poem contributes to its overall meaning and impact.

Topic 3: Imagery
Imagery refers to the use of descriptive language to create mental images and sensory experiences for the reader. Poets use imagery to convey emotions, ideas, and themes. This can include similes, metaphors, personification, and other literary devices.

Section 2: Analyzing Poetry Techniques

Topic 1: Theme
Theme is the underlying message or meaning of a poem. It can be expressed directly or indirectly through the use of imagery, language, and structure. Themes can include love, loss, nature, society, and many others.

Topic 2: Tone
Tone refers to the author's attitude towards the subject or audience. It can be formal, informal, humorous, sarcastic, or any other emotion. Tone helps to establish the mood and tone of the poem.

Topic 3: Symbolism
Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent abstract ideas or concepts. Poets use symbols to convey deeper meanings and add complexity to their work.

Section 3: Interpreting Poetry

Topic 1: Context
Understanding the context of a poem, including the author's biography, cultural background, and historical period, can help to interpret its meaning. Context provides a framework for understanding the poet's intentions and influences.

Topic 2: Literary Devices
Literary devices are techniques used by poets to enhance their writing. These can include metaphors, similes, personification, alliteration, and others. By identifying and analyzing these devices, readers can better understand the poet's intentions and the deeper meaning of the poem.

Topic 3: Personal Response
Interpreting poetry is a personal experience. Readers may have different interpretations of the same poem based on their personal experiences and perspectives. It is essential to trust one's instincts and emotions when interpreting poetry.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the basic elements, techniques, and interpretation of poetry. By understanding these concepts, readers can appreciate and analyze poems more effectively. Poetry is a powerful form of expression that can evoke emotions, challenge ideas, and inspire change. By studying poetry, we can develop critical thinking skills, empathy, and a deeper understanding of human experience.

Dogo, Okpotu claim LBA awards for August

Kabiru
Dogo of Nasarawa United and Anthony Okpotu of Lobi Stars have been named the
Manager and Player for August in the Glo Premier League by the League Bloggers
Awards (LBA).

In
the month under review, Dogo and Okpotu clearly underscored their performance
in the top flight with the former leading Nasarawa United to eye-catching
displays and impressive outcomes while the latter's goals were pivotal in their
push out of the drop zone.

For
the manager's category, Dogo stood out among the other three nominees, Kadiri
Ikhana (Enyimba), Gbenga Ogunbote (3SC) and Stanley Eguma (Dolphins).

Though
the shortlisted managers for the August award was whittled down to Dogo and
Ikhana based on similarities in points amassed by their teams being 13 apiece,
the Nasarawa United trainer edged his Enyimba counterparts on two fronts.

Dogo
ensured that his team held a superior goal difference than Ikhana's Enyimba in
August. Only Sunshine Stars, whose manager, Kennedy Boboye, was not in the
running, had the best goal different in the month under review.

The
Nasarawa United man also guided his team to claim the most points on the road,
being four, including a 2-1 away win at Kano Pillars to bring to a halt a
12-year-old unbeaten home record held by the champions.

Okpotu
was one of the nominees in the month of July for the LBA player's gong but
missed out to the impressive Abia Warriors attacking midfielder, Ndifreke
Effiong.

But
this time, the Lobi Stars striker, who has earned himself the moniker 'The
Panther,' for exhibiting aggressiveness, pace, intelligence and strength which
are qualities found in the evasive predator, racked up enough reasons to shake
off the close challenge of Sunshine Stars and Super Eagles winger, Prince
Aggreh as well as the duo of Aniekpeno Udoh of Akwa United and Stephen Adah of
FC Taraba for the prize.

Aggreh
and Okpotu scored six goals apiece in August and their goals also helped their
teams to three wins each last month. But Okpotu shaded Aggreh to the LBA gong
by netting two goals on the road at difficult venues against Enyimba and Kano
Pillars while the Sunshine Stars man got all of his six in home matches.

Dogo
and Okpotu will be presented their awards in a later date in September by the
LBA.

text: If you’re like me, trying to Migrate SVN projects on CodePlex to Github, the automatic import will timeout. This is not some kind of conspiracy. This is because CodePlex SVN is a proxy to TFS and revisions don’t start at zero. In order to migrate a project, figure out what your first commit was and specify it in –r in git svn clone. This is discussed more in detail here.. Usernames in authors files start with. SND\, so mine is. SND\dblock_cp. These are domain usernames or something like that. Finally run. git svn clone. This is what I did for Log4jna.. git svn clone --authors-file=../authors.txt -r 57472:HEAD log4jna. I used to be a fan of CodePlex in its early days. I have about a dozen projects on it now. So why am I moving something off CodePlex to Github? It’s mostly because of comments like the one from the CodePlex’s Principal Development Manager (jwanagel) in #20445 and #23350. The latter has been open since February 2010.

Lesson: How to Migrate SVN Projects from CodePlex to Github

Introduction:
In this self-taught lesson, we will learn how to migrate SVN projects from CodePlex to Github. We will cover the following topics:

1. Why migrate from CodePlex to Github
2. Setting up Github
3. Preparing the CodePlex project for migration
4. Cloning the CodePlex project using Git
5. Pushing the cloned project to Github
6. Conclusion

Why migrate from CodePlex to Github:
CodePlex is a free hosting service for software development projects. It was launched by Microsoft in 2006. However, Microsoft announced that it would be shutting down CodePlex on December 15, 2017. This means that all projects on CodePlex will be lost. Github, on the other hand, is a popular hosting service for software development projects. It offers more features and a larger community than CodePlex. Therefore, it makes sense to migrate projects from CodePlex to Github before the shutdown.

Setting up Github:
If you don't have a Github account, sign up for one at https://github.com/. Once you have an account, navigate to the "Settings" tab and select "GitHub Pages". Choose a username for your website and select a template. This will give you a web page where you can host your project.

Preparing the CodePlex project for migration:
Before migrating your project from CodePlex to Github, make sure you have the following information:

1. The URL of your CodePlex project
2. Your CodePlex username and password
3. The commit ID of the first commit in your project

To find the commit ID, navigate to the "History" tab in your CodePlex project. Look for the commit with the earliest timestamp. The commit ID is the string of characters after "r" in the URL.

Cloning the CodePlex project using Git:
Once you have prepared your CodePlex project for migration, you can clone it using Git. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

```
git svn clone --authors-file=../authors.txt -r 57472:HEAD <project-name>
```

Replace `<project-name>` with the name of your CodePlex project. This command will clone your project from CodePlex to your local machine.

Pushing the cloned project to Github:
Now that you have cloned your project from CodePlex, you can push it to Github. Make sure you have installed Git on your computer. If you haven't, download and install it from https://git-scm.com/.

Once you have Git installed, navigate to the directory where you cloned your project. Run the following command:

```
git init
```

This will initialize a new Git repository in your project directory.

Next, run the following command:

```
git remote add origin <your-github-username>/<project-name>.git
```

Replace `<your-github-username>` with your Github username and `<project-name>` with the name of your project.

Finally, run the following command:

```
git push -f origin master
```

This will push your project to Github. You may be prompted to enter your Github username and password. Enter them when prompted.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to migrate SVN projects from CodePlex to Github. We covered the reasons for migrating, setting up Github, preparing the CodePlex project for migration, cloning the project using Git, and pushing it to Github. We also provided step-by-step instructions for each section.

Glossary:
- CodePlex: A free hosting service for software development projects launched by Microsoft in 2006.
- Github: A popular hosting service for software development projects.
- SVN: A version control system.
- Git: A distributed version control system.

Exercises:
1. Why is Microsoft shutting down CodePlex?
2. What are the advantages of migrating projects from CodePlex to Github?
3. How do you prepare a CodePlex project for migration?
4. How do you clone a CodePlex project using Git?
5. How do you push a cloned project to Github?

Lesson: How Hybrid-Electric Vehicles Work

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about hybrid-electric vehicles and how they work. Hybrid-electric vehicles are cars that use both gasoline engines and electric motors to power the wheels. They combine the benefits of traditional gasoline engines with the efficiency of electric motors to provide improved fuel economy and performance.

Section 1: Understanding Hybrid-Electric Vehicles

**Theory:** A hybrid-electric vehicle uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor to power the wheels. The gasoline engine provides most of the vehicle's power, while the electric motor provides additional power when needed, such as for accelerating and passing. This allows a smaller, more efficient engine to be used.

**Practice:** Why do you think hybrid-electric vehicles use both a gasoline engine and an electric motor? What are the benefits of using both types of power sources?

Section 2: How Hybrid-Electric Vehicles Work

**Theory:** Hybrid-electric vehicles use regenerative braking to generate electric power for the electric motor. When the driver brakes, the energy that would normally be lost as heat is captured and used to charge the battery. Additionally, the gasoline engine generates electricity to power the electric motor when needed.

**Practice:** How does regenerative braking work? Why is it important for improving fuel economy?

Section 3: Applying Hybrid-Electric Vehicles Technology

**Theory:** Hybrid-electric vehicles use complex algorithms to determine when to use the gasoline engine, the electric motor, or both. These algorithms take into account factors such as speed, acceleration, and battery charge level to optimize fuel economy and performance.

**Practice:** How do the algorithms work in a hybrid-electric vehicle? Can you explain the process of shifting between the gasoline engine and the electric motor?

Glossary:
- Gasoline engine: An internal combustion engine that uses gasoline as fuel.
- Electric motor: A motor that uses electricity as its source of power.
- Regenerative braking: A system that captures energy that would normally be lost as heat during braking and uses it to charge the battery.
- Fuel economy: The distance a vehicle can travel on a gallon of gasoline or equivalent energy source.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about hybrid-electric vehicles and how they work. We covered the theory behind their operation, including how they use both gasoline engines and electric motors to power the wheels. We also explored the practical applications of hybrid-electric vehicles, including how regenerative braking works and how algorithms are used to optimize fuel economy and performance. Finally, we defined key terms and provided practice questions to help students understand the material. By applying these concepts, students can gain a deeper understanding of how hybrid-electric vehicles work and how they can improve fuel economy and performance.

With delay times ranging from 62ms to 1.6 seconds (20 delay settings), Flo captured the unit from no repeat at all to maximum.. The Powertran Digital Delay Line was designed by Tim Orr (of EMS Synthi) and was offered as a DIY project in a british DIY publication in 1981. I’ll include the article / manual along with the captures, so you can get more familiar with it. I find these digital delays very educational, because nowadays, we’ve got (not so good) plugins for phasers, flangers, choruses etc, but do you know how these really work?. Mine comes from Blue Note studio in London, UK, and it’s in a perfect shape, i only had to change the output volume potentiometer when i bought it, the capacitors were in great shape!. The IR pack is a pay what you like download.. More information: Flo Audio

Lesson: Understanding Impulse Responses and Digital Delays

Introduction:
Impulse responses (IRs) are an essential component of digital audio processing. They are used to simulate the behavior of analog devices such as echo chambers, reverb units, and other effects. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of impulse responses and digital delays, including their history, how they work, and how to use them effectively in music production.

Section 1: History of Digital Delays and Impulse Responses
The concept of digital delays dates back to the early days of electronic music. One of the first digital delays was the Powertran Digital Delay Line, designed by Tim Orr (of EMS Synthi) in the late 1970s. This device used a combination of analog and digital circuits to create a delay effect that could range from no repeat at all to a maximum of 1.6 seconds.

In the 1980s, digital delays became more popular as technology improved. One of the most famous digital delays was the Lexicon PCM42, which was used on countless hit records during the 1980s. Today, digital delays are an essential tool in music production, and they come in many different forms, from simple stompboxes to complex software plugins.

Section 2: How Digital Delays Work
Digital delays work by sampling the input signal and storing it in memory. The stored samples are then played back at a specific interval to create the delay effect. The interval between the input signal and the played-back samples determines the duration of the delay.

There are two main types of digital delays: fixed-point and floating-point. Fixed-point delays use a fixed number of bits to represent the sample data, which can result in aliasing and loss of high-frequency information. Floating-point delays use a larger number of bits, which provides better accuracy and dynamic range.

Section 3: Using Impulse Responses in Music Production
Impulse responses can be used in many different ways in music production. Here are some examples:

1. Reverberation: Impulse responses can be used to simulate the sound of a room or space. By loading an IR into a reverb plugin, you can create a realistic-sounding reverb effect without having to physically record the sound in a specific location.

2. Echoes and Delays: Impulse responses can be used to create echo and delay effects. By loading an IR into a delay plugin, you can simulate the sound of an echo chamber or other analog delay devices.

3. Distortion and Overdrive: Impulse responses can be used to create distortion and overdrive effects. By loading an IR into a distortion plugin, you can simulate the sound of a tube amplifier or other analog distortion devices.

Section 4: Conclusion
Understanding impulse responses and digital delays is essential for anyone interested in music production or sound design. By learning about the history, technology, and applications of these effects, you can create better-sounding mixes and add depth and dimension to your productions.

Lesson Title: Understanding Energy Control Window Films

Introduction:
Energy control window films are an essential component of modern buildings. They help control solar heat gain, which is crucial for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment and reducing energy consumption. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of energy control window films, their applications, and their benefits.

Section 1: What are Energy Control Window Films?
Energy control window films are thin layers of polyester or other materials that are adhesively bonded to glass units in residential and commercial buildings. They are designed to reduce solar heat gain by reflecting or absorbing the sun's rays. This helps keep the building cooler during hot weather and reduces the need for air conditioning, thereby saving energy and money.

Section 2: Types of Energy Control Window Films
There are two types of energy control window films: reflective and absorptive. Reflective films work by reflecting the sun's rays away from the building, while absorptive films absorb the heat and then release it slowly over time. Both types of films can significantly reduce solar heat gain, but they work differently.

Section 3: Applications of Energy Control Window Films
Energy control window films have many applications in both residential and commercial buildings. They can be used to:

1. Reduce energy consumption: By reducing solar heat gain, energy control window films can help lower energy bills.
2. Improve comfort: By keeping the building cooler, energy control window films can make it more comfortable to be inside during hot weather.
3. Protect furniture and artwork: By blocking out UV rays, energy control window films can protect furniture, artwork, and other valuables from fading or discoloration.
4. Enhance privacy: By providing added privacy, energy control window films can help prevent people from seeing into the building.

Section 4: Benefits of Energy Control Window Films
There are several benefits to using energy control window films, including:

1. Energy savings: By reducing solar heat gain, energy control window films can help lower energy bills.
2. Comfort: By keeping the building cooler, energy control window films can make it more comfortable to be inside during hot weather.
3. UV protection: By blocking out UV rays, energy control window films can protect furniture, artwork, and other valuables from fading or discoloration.
4. Privacy: By providing added privacy, energy control window films can help prevent people from seeing into the building.
5. Aesthetics: Energy control window films come in various shades and colors, allowing homeowners and businesses to customize the look of their buildings.

Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, energy control window films are an essential component of modern buildings. They help control solar heat gain, which is crucial for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment and reducing energy consumption. By understanding the basics of energy control window films, their applications, and their benefits, we can make informed decisions about their use in our homes and businesses.

Glossary:
- Energy control window films: Thin layers of polyester or other materials that are adhesively bonded to glass units in residential and commercial buildings to reduce solar heat gain.
- Solar heat gain: The amount of heat that enters a building through its windows due to the sun's rays.
- Reflective: Films that reflect the sun's rays away from the building.
- Absorptive: Films that absorb the heat and then release it slowly over time.

[Table] Comparison of Reflective and Absorptive Films
| Property | Reflective Films | Absorptive Films |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How they work | Reflect sun's rays | Absorb and release heat |
| Heat reduction | Immediate | Gradual |
| Color | Often clear or slightly tinted | Often tinted |
| Lifespan | Typically 10-15 years | Typically 5-7 years |

[Formula] Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) = (film's ability to reject solar heat) / (film's ability to transmit solar heat)

**Lesson: Introduction to Tattoo Art**

## Section 1: What is Tattoo Art?
Tattoo art is the process of creating permanent designs or images on the skin using ink and needles. It is an ancient form of body modification that has been practiced by various cultures throughout history. Today, tattoo art is a popular form of self-expression and personal style.

## Section 2: Types of Tattoo Art
There are many different types of tattoo art, including traditional, tribal, realistic, watercolor, geometric, and abstract. Traditional tattoos often feature bold lines and bright colors, while tribal tattoos usually consist of intricate patterns and designs. Realistic tattoos aim to look as lifelike as possible, while watercolor tattoos use soft, blended colors to create a dreamy effect. Geometric tattoos use shapes and lines to create visually striking designs, and abstract tattoos can be any combination of colors, shapes, and patterns.

## Section 3: How to Choose a Tattoo Design
Choosing a tattoo design can be a daunting task, but there are some things to consider when selecting a design that is right for you. First, think about what you want the tattoo to represent. Is it a symbol of a loved one, a favorite hobby, or a personal value? Next, consider the placement of the tattoo. Some designs look better in certain areas, such as the back or the arm, while others may be better suited for a more hidden location. Finally, take into account the size and color scheme of the design. A small, simple design may be more appropriate for someone who is new to tattoos, while a larger, more complex design may be better suited for someone with more experience.

## Section 4: How to Find a Good Tattoo Artist
Finding a good tattoo artist is essential to ensuring that your tattoo turns out exactly as you envisioned it. Start by researching artists in your area and looking at their portfolios. Read reviews from other clients to get an idea of their experience and skill level. Once you have narrowed down your options, schedule consultations with the artists to discuss your design and get a feel for their personality and style. Trust your instincts and choose an artist that you feel comfortable with and confident in their abilities.

text: Models of Partially Relaxed Stellar Disks. Abstract. The proposal by Lynden~Be11 that violently changing gravitational fields serve as the primary mecha- nism of relaxation in a galaxy of stars is reexamined for disk galaxies. The point of view adopted is that the oniy relaxation mechanism operative for stars in the early life of such galaxies is an axisymmetric form of the Jeans instability discussed by Toomre. The most probable form of the distribution function which results for a disk of infinitesimal thickness is obtained from statistical considerations. An asymptot- ic method of solution based on this distribution is developed for the construction of galactic models from observed rotation curves. The distribution of stars with low peculiar velocities follows Schwarzschild's law whereas that of stars with high velocities shows the asymmetry in galactic longitude discussed by Oort. - Publication:. - The Astrophysical Journal. - Pub Date:. - November 1969. - DOI:. - 10.1086/150214. - Bibcode:. - 1969ApJ...158..505S

Lesson: Models of Partially Relaxed Stellar Disks

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the models of partially relaxed stellar disks. We will start by understanding the concept of relaxation in a galaxy of stars and then move on to the different mechanisms that lead to relaxation. Finally, we will discuss the distribution function and the method of solution for constructing galactic models from observed rotation curves.

I. What is relaxation in a galaxy of stars?

Relaxation in a galaxy of stars refers to the process by which the gravitational forces between stars become balanced, and the system reaches a state of minimum energy. This balance is essential for the stability of the galaxy.

II. Mechanisms of relaxation in a galaxy of stars

There are two primary mechanisms of relaxation in a galaxy of stars:

1. Violently changing gravitational fields: This mechanism involves the interaction of stars with their neighbors, leading to changes in their velocities. This process is known as dynamical friction, and it helps in redistributing the angular momentum of the system.

2. Gravitational instabilities: These are the result of the gravitational interaction between stars, leading to the formation of density waves that propagate through the galaxy. This process helps in redistributing the mass and energy of the system.

III. The distribution function and the Jeans instability

The distribution function is a mathematical tool used to describe the probability of finding a star at a particular position and velocity in a galaxy. It is essential for understanding the dynamics of the system.

The Jeans instability is a gravitational instability that occurs when the gravitational force between stars becomes stronger than the centrifugal force due to their rotation. This instability leads to the formation of density waves, which help in the relaxation process.

IV. Constructing galactic models from observed rotation curves

To construct galactic models from observed rotation curves, we need to consider the following factors:

1. The distribution of stars with low peculiar velocities follows Schwarzschild's law, which describes the rotation curve of a galaxy.

2. The distribution of stars with high velocities shows the asymmetry in galactic longitude discussed by Oort.

V. Self-Debating Discussion

Why is the study of relaxation in a galaxy of stars important?

Answer: The study of relaxation in a galaxy of stars is essential for understanding the stability and evolution of galaxies. It helps us understand how galaxies form, evolve, and interact with each other over time. Additionally, it provides insights into the behavior of stars within galaxies and their interactions with other celestial objects.

VI. Glossary

- Galaxy: A large system of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity
- Jeans instability: A gravitational instability that occurs when the gravitational force between stars becomes stronger than the centrifugal force due to their rotation
- Distribution function: A mathematical tool used to describe the probability of finding a star at a particular position and velocity in a galaxy
- Rotation curve: A graph that shows the rotation speed of stars as a function of their distance from the galactic center
- Peculiar velocities: The difference in the velocities of stars relative to the average velocity of the galaxy

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we have learned about the models of partially relaxed stellar disks and the mechanisms of relaxation in a galaxy of stars. We have also discussed the distribution function and the Jeans instability, and how they are used to construct galactic models from observed rotation curves. Finally, we have engaged in a self-debating discussion to understand the importance of studying relaxation in a galaxy of stars.

Instead of saying you’re a hard work, give an example of a time you worked hard. You’ll stand out from all the other hard workers who applied.. I suppose there’s the subjective/objective factor, too. “I work hard” — HOW hard? Juggling two jobs and a hardcore degree hard or doing your homework like a schoolkid hard (which is hard in itself… For that age group only, though).. Yes, very true.
