Title

The original Japanese title, "Shingeki no Kyojin", has been thought to have a dual meaning. It was thought that the literal meaning was "Advancing Titan(s)" (or more literally, "Advancing Giant(s)"), or alternatively as "Advance Toward the Titan(s)", which is what the localized title resembles: "Attack on Titan". However, ultimately in Chapter 88, it is explained that the truest meaning is "The Attack Titan", referring to a single Titan.

Plot

Around a century before the beginning of the series, a mysterious race of giant, man-eater humanoids known as Titans suddenly appeared and nearly exterminated humanity. In order to protect themselves from this threat, the few survivors built three concentric Walls, called Maria, Rose and Sheena, and encaged themselves in this limited territory, forgetting everything about the outside world and the history before the building of the Walls.

In the present, a boy named Eren Yeager, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert, dream about seeing the world outside the Walls some day; but their peace is abruptly interrupted when an unusual 60-meter tall Colossus Titan and an Armored Titan breach the outermost Wall, and Eren sees his mother dying in the resulting devastation. Eren vows revenge against the Titans and later enlists in the military branch Survey Corps, accompanied by both Mikasa and Armin.

As the story progresses, more mysteries surrounding the true origin and nature of the Titans as well as the lost history of the world are addressed, and the reader gradually discovers that the Titans are probably not the real enemies. Eren and the Survey Corps find themselves as the only remaining hope for humanity, as they fight to discover the answers to these secrets and stop the forces that want to bring about the destruction of mankind.

Development

Hajime Isayama came up with the idea for the Titans some day when, while working at an Internet cafe, a drunk customer grabbed him by the collar. He said he was inspired by the lack of the ability to communicate even though the person was of the same species, and thought that the most familiar and scary animal in the world is actually the human.[4] This is the feeling he conveys through the Titans: threatening beings which, despite their human-like appearances, lack any means of reasoning or communication. He also cited the visual novel Muv-Luv and the manga ARMS as primary influences for his work.[5][6]

The scenery for the story was inspired by his own hometown, which is surrounded by mountains. One day, he wanted to go beyond the mountains, which reflects Eren's wish to go beyond the Walls in the series.[4]George Wada, producer of the anime, said that the concept of being isolated and overcoming a "Wall of Fear" was also inspired by the isolated and enclosed nature of the Japanese culture.[7]

His monthly schedule consists of one week for storyboard and three weeks for drawing.[10] When designing the Titans, he gets aid from a reference book for various human expressions;[4] as well as inspiration from real-life models such as Yushin Okami for Eren's Titan form[10], Brock Lesnar for the Armored Titan[11], or the anime's voice actors.[12] He said that he chose giants as the theme for its work because "they are kind of gross".[13] His early drawings were rough, and he himself admitted that they were "amateurish" and felt that they were "short of the standard required for commercial works"; but it has been noted that they have greatly improved over the years.[14] His narrative puts much focus on the individual inner feelings of the characters.[7]

Isayama has revealed that the story is planned far in advance, and that he can even mark down in which specific volume a certain situation is going to happen; although it is not properly fleshed out until he is working on it.[6] He had also planned a tragic ending for the series in which everybody would die, similar to that of the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist; but after the manga and anime gained so many fans, he began to worry about the impact that such a conclusion could have on them, and now he is unsure of whether he should go ahead with it. However, he admitted that he still likes the idea.[15]

In September 2013, he stated that he wanted to end the series in Volume 20;[16] but in June 2015 he claimed that the manga was "60% finished" at that point,[17] and in September of the same year his editor Kawakubo Shintaro estimated that there were "about three years worth of manga chapters left";[18] which, if true, would mean that the manga would be ending around late 2018 or after 26+ volumes.

As of September 2016, the manga has 62.5 million copies in print, with 60 million copies in Japan[20][21] and 2.5 million copies overseas since it was first released[22]; reaching the top 30 of the best-selling manga series in history as the 26th best-selling overall and the 13th still ongoing at that point (despite being one of only two series in the top 100 with less than a decade in publication —next to Kuroko's Basketball— and the youngest of the top, being just in its 7th year).[23] Volume 12 received a first printing of 2.5 million copies, making the series one of the only two manga series ever to get an initial print surpassing 2 million, next to One Piece.[24] Volume 13 sold 2,750,000 copies in its first printing and holds the first print run record for its publisher, Kodansha.[25]

Since 2013, after the boost in its popularity following the release of the first season of the anime,[26] it has consistently ranked among the 3 best-selling manga series in Japan per year. In the first half of 2014 it reached the top of the chart, ending One Piece's five-year reign as the highest selling series in that period. Isayama was surprised about this and thanked the readers.[27] It finished the year in second place with almost 12 million copies sold.[28] In the first half of 2016, it ranked 3rd, making it the highest selling monthly manga overall and the highest seling manga by Kodansha, surpassing by more than 1.6 million copies the second most popular title by the publisher, The Seven Deadly Sins.[29]

Attack on Titan won the Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2011,[35] and was nominated for the 4th Manga Taishō Award[36] and both the 16th[37] and 18th[38] annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. The 2012 edition of Kono Manga ga Sugoi! named it the 8th best manga series for male readers,[39] while the 2014 edition named it the 6th best.[40] It ranked #1 in the Yomiuri Shimbun's Sugoi Japan Awards for favorite manga series in 2015.[41]

The official English version of the series by Kodansha USA has also been met with success in the United States. As of the week for January 17, 2016, Volume 1 had been on The New York Times Manga Best Seller list for 120 weeks,[42] 81 of them straight;[42] and on the week for October 13, 2013, six of the seven volumes published in the United States at the time reached the top 10 simultaneously.[43] The same month, Volume 1 also topped the chart of Nielsen BookScan's list of top 20 graphic novels in American bookstores,[44] and the previous month the series had 5 volumes in the top, more than any other series.[45] The Young Adult Library Services Association named it one of its "Great Graphic Novels for Teens" in 2013.[46] The English version also won the 2014 Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material,[47] and it was the only manga to be nominated for the 2015 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Graphic Novel/Comic.[48]

Kodansha has credited the series for the company's first revenue increase in 18 years,[49] while Mainichi Shimbun called it a "once-in-a-decade hit".[26]

What kind of bird has the biggest wings?

In terms of height and weight, the biggest bird in the world is the ostrich, which is usually about 9 feet tall and about 300 pounds. (Whoa!) However, because ostriches don’t fly, they don’t come in first place when it comes to being the bird with the biggest wings.

The bird with the largest wingspan(size of wings from tip to tip) is the Wandering Albatross. The wingspan of most Wandering Albatrosses is about 10 feet, but some have been known to be as large as 12 feet. The tallest grown-ups you know are probably about 6-feet tall, so this bird’s wings are about twice as big across as a really big grown-up is tall!

Exploration

Winged Wonders!

If you could be any kind of bird, what kind of bird would you like to be?

Would you want to be a bird like the Wandering Albatross, with really huge wings?? Or would you rather be a songbird like a nightingale, known for your chirping and singing? Maybe you’d want to be the peregrine falcon, known for diving at up to 200 miles per hour and being the fastest animal in the world! Instead, maybe you feel more like a peacock with a big beautiful tail of feathers!

Don’t forget to think about where you would want to live if you were a bird! Some birds live closer to the ocean, while others are more likely to live in gardens or forests with trees.

Draw a picture of what you would look like if you were a bird, and the nest that you live in. Do you have a special bird name?

Lesson: The World's Biggest Birds

Introduction:

Birds come in all shapes and sizes. In this lesson, we will learn about the biggest birds in the world. We will explore the ostrich, the Wandering Albatross, and the Peregrine Falcon. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to identify the different types of birds and understand what makes them unique.

Section 1: The Ostrich

Question: What is the biggest bird in the world?
Answer: The ostrich is the biggest bird in the world. It can grow up to 9 feet tall and weigh over 300 pounds.

Question: Why don't ostriches fly?
Answer: Ostriches can't fly because their wings are not designed for flying. Instead, they use their long legs to run quickly.

Question: What do ostriches eat?
Answer: Ostriches are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals. They like to eat insects, seeds, and small animals like lizards.

Section 2: The Wandering Albatross

Question: What is the bird with the largest wingspan?
Answer: The Wandering Albatross has the largest wingspan of any bird. Their wings can be up to 12 feet across!

Question: Why do albatrosses have such big wings?
Answer: Albatrosses have big wings so they can glide for long distances without flapping their wings. This helps them save energy while they search for food.

Question: What do albatrosses eat?
Answer: Albatrosses are fish eaters. They catch fish by diving into the water and grabbing them with their beaks.

Section 3: The Peregrine Falcon

Question: What is the fastest bird in the world?
Answer: The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird in the world. It can fly at speeds over 200 miles per hour!

Question: How does the Peregrine Falcon catch its prey?
Answer: The Peregrine Falcon catches its prey by diving at it at high speeds. When the prey sees the falcon coming, it tries to escape, but the falcon is too fast for it.

Question: What do Peregrine Falcons eat?
Answer: Peregrine Falcons mostly eat other birds, but they will also eat small mammals and reptiles.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about three different types of birds: the ostrich, the Wandering Albatross, and the Peregrine Falcon. Each bird is unique in its own way, from the ostrich's long legs to the albatross's huge wings to the falcon's incredible speed. By understanding these differences, we can appreciate the amazing variety of birds that exist in our world.

Glossary:

- Ostrich: A flightless bird that can grow up to 9 feet tall and weigh over 300 pounds.
- Wandering Albatross: A bird with the largest wingspan in the world, which can be up to 12 feet across.
- Peregrine Falcon: The fastest bird in the world, capable of flying at speeds over 200 miles per hour.

With news of another dolphin encounter program coming to Hawai‘i, INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAI‘I examines the debate over marine mammals’ life in captivity. Is it right to hold marine mammals in captivity for entertainment or research purposes? Dolphins, sea lions, and seals are mainstay attractions at venues across the country. Proponents say the dolphins, sea lion, seals and other animals are safely cared for and they highlight the need for conservation; opponents say the animals suffer from overwork and abuse..

textbook:
Lesson: Should Marine Mammals Be Kept in Captivity?

### Introduction
In this lesson, we will explore the debate over keeping marine mammals like dolphins, sea lions, and seals in captivity. We will examine the arguments for and against this practice, and discuss the impact on the animals and the environment.

### Section 1: The Debate Over Captivity
The debate over keeping marine mammals in captivity is a complex one. On one hand, proponents argue that these animals are safely cared for and that their presence helps raise awareness about conservation efforts. On the other hand, opponents argue that the animals suffer from overwork and abuse, and that they should not be kept in captivity for human entertainment or research purposes.

### Section 2: Arguments For and Against Captivity
Those who support keeping marine mammals in captivity argue that these animals are well-cared for and that their presence helps raise awareness about conservation efforts. They point out that many captive marine mammals are rescued animals that would not have survived in the wild, and that their presence in captivity helps to protect their wild counterparts. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that the animals suffer from overwork and abuse, and that they should not be kept in captivity for human entertainment or research purposes. They point out that the stress and confinement of captivity can have serious physical and psychological effects on the animals.

### Section 3: Impact on Animals and Environment
The impact of keeping marine mammals in captivity goes beyond the animals themselves. The construction of facilities to house these animals can have a negative impact on the environment, and the transportation of the animals can also have consequences. Additionally, the food required to feed the animals can have an impact on the ecosystems of the areas where they are caught.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, the debate over keeping marine mammals in captivity is a complex one, with valid arguments on both sides. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide where they stand on this issue. However, it is important to consider the impact on the animals and the environment when making a decision. By understanding the arguments for and against captivity, we can make informed decisions about the treatment of marine mammals and the role they play in our society.

Lesson: The Importance of Giving Back

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the importance of giving back to our community. We will learn about the history of Thanksgiving and why it is an important holiday. We will also discuss the benefits of volunteering and how it can make a positive impact on our lives and the lives of others.

Section 1: The History of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States and on the second Monday in October in Canada.

The first Thanksgiving feast was held in 1621 by the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts, to celebrate the successful harvest of their crops. This feast lasted three days and was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims.

Section 2: The Benefits of Giving Back

Volunteering is a great way to give back to our community. There are many benefits to volunteering, including:

1. Making a positive impact: When we volunteer, we are making a difference in someone's life. Whether it's serving a meal to those in need or cleaning up a park, our actions can have a positive impact on our community.

2. Building relationships: Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and form meaningful relationships. When we work together towards a common goal, we can create strong bonds with those around us.

3. Developing skills: Volunteering can help us develop new skills and improve upon existing ones. For example, volunteering at a local food bank can teach us valuable organizational and time management skills.

4. Boosting self-esteem: When we give back to our community, we feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. This can boost our self-esteem and make us feel good about ourselves.

Section 3: The Power of Volunteering

Volunteering is a powerful tool that can make a positive impact on our community. Here are some examples of how volunteering can make a difference:

1. Serving meals to those in need: Volunteering at a local soup kitchen or food bank is a great way to give back. By serving meals to those who are less fortunate, we can help provide them with nourishment and comfort.

2. Cleaning up the environment: Volunteering at a local park or beach cleanup is a great way to give back to our environment. By removing trash and debris, we can help keep our planet clean and healthy.

3. Tutoring children: Volunteering as a tutor can make a huge difference in a child's life. By providing one-on-one attention and support, we can help them succeed in school and reach their full potential.

Conclusion:

Giving back to our community is an important part of being a responsible citizen. By volunteering our time and resources, we can make a positive impact on the world around us. Remember, every act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a difference. So let's get out there and start giving back!

Lesson: The Surprise Factor in Halloween Candy Bags

Introduction:
Halloween is a fun time of year where people dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating for candy. One popular item that adds to the excitement of Halloween is a candy grab bag. In this lesson, we will explore the surprise factor in Halloween candy bags and how they are designed to create a fun and spooky experience.

Section 1: The Science Behind the Surprise Factor

The surprise factor in a Halloween candy bag is what makes it so exciting. When someone reaches into the bag, they never know what they will find. It could be a piece of candy or a fake severed finger! The science behind this is called "uncertainty" and it is a fundamental concept in physics. Uncertainty means that we cannot predict with 100% accuracy what will happen in the future. This is what makes Halloween candy bags so much fun!

Section 2: Creating a Spooky Experience

To create a spooky experience with a Halloween candy bag, there are a few things to consider. First, the bag should be designed in a way that is visually appealing and eye-catching. This could include using bright colors or creepy images. Second, the bag should contain a variety of items such as candy, gummy worms, and fake bugs. This will add to the surprise factor and make it more exciting for the person reaching in. Finally, the bag should have a mechanism that allows it to spring out a surprise when opened. This could be a pop-out skeleton hand or a fake spider.

Section 3: Real-World Examples

One example of a Halloween candy bag that has a surprise factor is the "Skeleton Hand Pop Out Candy Bowl." This bowl is shaped like a skeleton hand and when it is rotated forward with your thumbs, a skeleton hand pops out. This would be a great addition to any haunted house or Halloween party. Another example is the "Creepy Crawly Candy Dish" which looks like a cemetery with spooky creatures crawling out of the ground. When someone reaches in to grab some candy, a fake spider or worm might crawl up their arm.

Glossary:
- Uncertainty: A fundamental concept in physics that means we cannot predict with 100% accuracy what will happen in the future.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the surprise factor in Halloween candy bags is what makes them so exciting. By creating a spooky experience through visual appeal, variety, and a surprise mechanism, people can have a lot of fun on Halloween. Whether you are using a candy bowl shaped like a skeleton hand or a cemetery candy dish, the surprise factor will add to the excitement of the holiday.

Lesson: Introduction to Human Rights, Social Justice, and Intercultural Learning

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about human rights, social justice, and intercultural learning. Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that every person is entitled to, regardless of their race, religion, nationality, or any other factor. Social justice refers to the fair treatment of individuals and groups based on their actual needs and circumstances, rather than their perceived status or social position. Intercultural learning involves understanding and appreciating the differences between cultures and promoting mutual respect and understanding among people from different backgrounds.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a real-world scenario to understand the importance of these concepts. Imagine a country where people from different ethnicities and religions live together. Some people in power may try to oppress certain groups based on their race, religion, or social status. This would be a violation of their human rights. Social justice demands that all people should be treated fairly, regardless of their background. Intercultural learning can help us understand and appreciate the differences between these groups, leading to more harmonious relationships and a stronger society.

### Section 3: Self-Debate Discussions

- What are some examples of human rights violations? How can we work towards preventing them?
- Why is social justice important in today's society? Can you think of any examples where it is lacking?
- What are some ways to promote intercultural learning and understanding?

### Glossary

- Human rights: Basic rights and freedoms that every person is entitled to, regardless of their background.
- Social justice: Fair treatment of individuals and groups based on their actual needs and circumstances.
- Intercultural learning: Understanding and appreciating the differences between cultures and promoting mutual respect and understanding among people from different backgrounds.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, understanding human rights, social justice, and intercultural learning is essential for building a more just and harmonious society. By studying these concepts, we can develop critical thinking skills and apply them to new problems. As we continue to learn about these topics, let us strive to promote equality, respect, and understanding in our daily lives.

Lesson: Introduction to Abstract Algebra

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Abstract algebra is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, and fields. It is used in various areas of mathematics, including number theory, geometry, and topology. In this lesson, we will introduce some of the fundamental concepts of abstract algebra.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a simple example of an algebraic structure: the set of integers under addition. We can represent this set as a group called Z, where the group operation is addition. The identity element is 0, and every element in the group has an inverse, which is its negation (e.g., -x is the inverse of x).

Another example is the set of 2x2 matrices with real numbers on the diagonal. This set forms a ring called M2x2(R), where the operation is matrix multiplication. The identity element is the 0 matrix, and the inverse of a matrix is its transpose.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Abstract algebra has many real-world applications, such as coding theory, cryptography, and computer science. For example, error-correcting codes are used to transmit data over noisy channels without losing information. These codes use abstract algebraic structures to correct errors that may occur during transmission.

Cryptography also relies on abstract algebra to secure communication channels. One common method is public-key cryptography, which uses the difficulty of certain mathematical problems (such as factoring large numbers) as a security measure.

### Glossary

- Group: A set with a binary operation that satisfies the closure property, associativity, and an identity element.
- Ring: A group with an identity element and each element having an inverse.
- Field: A ring with a division property, meaning that every nonzero element has an inverse.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we introduced the fundamental concepts of abstract algebra, provided practical examples, and discussed real-world applications. By understanding these concepts, students can apply them to various problems in mathematics and other disciplines.

Q:

Intuition for Gram-Schmidt process

Let V be a finite dinner-product space, given a$ v_1,...v_n$ orthogonal bases, and $w_1,...w_n \in W $be subspace of V. Then $v_1=w_1$, $v_2= w_2-proj_w v_2$, $v_3= w_3-proj_w v_2- proj_w v_3$... I know that $proj_w v_i$ is the vector $v_i$ projected onto W subspace. How to intuitively understand Gram-Schmidt process, why as i gets bigger, we keep on subtracting more? I looked up the diagram on Gram-Schmidt, but still fails to get the sense.
Wiki for Gram-schmidt

A:

When you project a vector onto a subspace (any dimension), and subtract the result, you get a vector orthogonal to the subspace.  Projection onto an $n$-dimensional subspace, on the other hand, can be accomplished by adding the projections onto the
$n$ individual members of an orthogonal basis.
Perhaps try an example.  Project $(x,y,z)$ onto the $2$-dimensional subspace spanned by the unit vectors in the directions of the $x$ and $y$ axes.  These two are often denoted $\bf{\vec i}$ and $\bf{\vec j}$.  The projection in this case is of course $(x,y,0)$.  And that's indeed $(x,y,z)-(x,0,0)-(0,y,0)=(x,y,z)-\operatorname{proj}_{\bf{\vec i}}(x,y,z)-\operatorname{proj}_{\bf{\vec j}}(x,y,z)$.  After subtracting, and normalizing, you of course get $\bf{\vec k}=(0,0,1)$, to complete the standard basis.

Lesson: Gram-Schmidt Process

Introduction

The Gram-Schmidt process is a method used to find the orthogonal projection of a vector onto a subspace. It is commonly used in linear algebra and is an essential tool for solving many problems in mathematics, science, and engineering. In this lesson, we will learn about the Gram-Schmidt process, its applications, and how it works.

Section 1: What is the Gram-Schmidt Process?

The Gram-Schmidt process is a method used to find the orthogonal projection of a vector onto a subspace. It is also known as the QR decomposition or the Gram-Schmidt QR decomposition. The process involves decomposing a vector into its orthogonal components with respect to a given subspace.

Application

The Gram-Schmidt process has many applications in mathematics, science, and engineering. Some of these applications include:

1. Solving systems of linear equations
2. Finding the eigenvectors of a matrix
3. Finding the orthogonal projection of a vector onto a subspace
4. Finding the singular value decomposition of a matrix
5. Finding the least squares solution of a linear system

Section 2: How does the Gram-Schmidt Process Work?

The Gram-Schmidt process works by decomposing a vector into its orthogonal components with respect to a given subspace. It involves the following steps:

1. Choose an orthogonal basis for the subspace.
2. Project the vector onto each basis vector in the subspace.
3. Subtract the projection of the vector onto the basis vectors from the original vector.

Example

Let's consider the vector $\mathbf{v} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}$. We want to decompose this vector into its orthogonal components with respect to the subspace spanned by the standard basis vectors $\mathbf{\hat{i}}$ and $\mathbf{\hat{j}}$.

Step 1: Choose an orthogonal basis for the subspace. In this case, we choose $\mathbf{\hat{i}}$ and $\mathbf{\hat{j}}$ as our orthogonal basis.

Step 2: Project the vector onto each basis vector in the subspace. We have:

$\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{\hat{i}}}\mathbf{v} = \langle\mathbf{v},\mathbf{\hat{i}}\rangle\mathbf{\hat{i}} = \langle\mathbf{v},\mathbf{\hat{i}}\rangle\mathbf{\hat{i}} = \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{i}} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{j}}$

$\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{\hat{j}}}\mathbf{v} = \langle\mathbf{v},\mathbf{\hat{j}}\rangle\mathbf{\hat{j}} = \langle\mathbf{v},\mathbf{\hat{j}}\rangle\mathbf{\hat{j}} = \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{i}} - \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{j}}$

Step 3: Subtract the projection of the vector onto the basis vectors from the original vector. We have:

$\mathbf{v}_{\text{orthogonal}} = \mathbf{v} - \operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{\hat{i}}}\mathbf{v} - \operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{\hat{j}}}\mathbf{v} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} - \left(\frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{i}} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{j}}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{i}} - \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\hat{j}}\right)$

$\mathbf{v}_{\text{orthogonal}} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}$

Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the Gram-Schmidt process, its applications, and how it works. We saw that the process involves decomposing a vector into its orthogonal components with respect to a given subspace and is an essential tool for solving many problems in mathematics, science, and engineering.

A stunt director is responsible for planning and coordinating all the action sequences in a movie. They work closely with the director and actors to ensure that the stunts are safe, realistic, and enhance the storyline.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's take a look at an example of how a stunt director might plan a fight scene. Imagine that the director wants a scene where the protagonist fights off several enemies in a small room. The stunt director would need to consider factors such as:

1. The number of enemies involved
2. The size of the room
3. The weapons and physical abilities of the protagonist
4. The mood of the scene

Once these factors are considered, the stunt director can plan out the choreography of the fight scene, taking into account factors such as the angle of entry, the flow of movement, and the use of props in the room.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

In the case of Aquaman, the stunt director will need to plan underwater sequences that are both realistic and visually stunning. This will involve working with special effects teams to create realistic underwater environments and training the actors to perform stunts while underwater.

## Glossary

- Stunt Director: A person responsible for planning and coordinating all the action sequences in a movie.
- Choreography: The art of creating patterns of movement for a dance or other performance.
- Props: Physical objects used on stage or in a movie to help tell the story.

## Conclusion

Stunt directing is an essential part of creating a successful movie. By carefully planning and coordinating action sequences, stunt directors can enhance the storyline and create memorable moments for audiences. With the right combination of creativity, safety, and technical expertise, stunt directors can bring movies to life in exciting ways.

Lesson: Introduction to Orthodontics

## Section 1: What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws. Malpositioned teeth and jaws can lead to various dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and difficulty chewing and speaking.

## Section 2: Why is Early Intervention Important?
Early intervention is crucial in orthodontics because it can prevent more complex and expensive treatments in the future. For example, using plates at an early age can prevent the need for jaw surgery later on.

## Section 3: Types of Orthodontic Appliances
There are several types of orthodontic appliances, including:

1. Functional appliances: These are used to correct bite problems where the top teeth bite in front of the lower teeth. Functional appliances may be either fixed or removable.

2. Expanders: These appliances help create additional space for permanent teeth to erupt by expanding the arches. They stimulate growth of the lower jaw, which will better align the upper and lower teeth.

3. Tongue thrust appliances: These appliances are used to treat tongue thrusting, which is one of the most commonly seen oral habits.

## Section 4: How do Orthodontic Appliances Work?
Orthodontic appliances work by applying gentle pressure to the teeth and jaws over time. This pressure helps to move the teeth into their proper position and shape the jaws. The amount of pressure applied and the duration of treatment depend on the severity of the malpositioned teeth and jaws.

## Section 5: How to Care for Orthodontic Appliances
To ensure that orthodontic treatment is effective, it is essential to care for the appliances properly. This includes brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding sticky and hard foods, and wearing the appliance as instructed by the orthodontist.

Q:

Which scriptures contain information about Stri Rajya?

Stri Rajya is a matriarchal kingdom located somewhere in Uttarpath and mentioned in several Hindu Scriptures like Kama Sutra and Sanskrit works (based on Hindu Scriptures), like Raghuvamsa and Rajatarangini.
Information about it is relatively scarce on the internet and even Wikipedia doesn't have an article on it.
I'd like to know the list of all scriptures which mention Stri Rajya or anything related to it.

A:

I have found two evidences in Mahabharata where Stri Rajya (Kingdom of women) is mentioned.

'That prosperity which the sons of Pritha had acquired at Indraprastha, and which, unobtainable by other kings, was beheld by me at the Rajasuya sacrifice, at which, besides, I saw all kings, even those of the Vangas and Angas and Paundras and Odras and Cholas and Dravidas and Andhakas, and the chiefs of many islands and countries on the sea-board as also of frontier states, including the rulers of the Sinhalas, the barbarous mlecchas, the natives of Lanka, and all the kings of the West by hundreds, and all the chiefs of the sea-coast, and the kings of the Pahlavas and the Daradas and the various tribes of the Kiratas and Yavanas and Sakras and the Harahunas and Chinas and Tukharas and the Sindhavas and the Jagudas and the Ramathas and the Mundas and the inhabitants of the kingdom of women and the Tanganas and the Kekayas and the Malavas and the inhabitants of Kasmira, afraid of the prowess of your weapons, present in obedience to your invitation, performing various offices,--that prosperity, O king, so unstable and waiting at present on the foe, I shall restore to thee, depriving thy foe of his very life. I shall, O chief of the Kurus, assisted by Rama and Bhima and Arjuna and the twins and Akrura and Gada and Shamva and Pradyumna and Ahuka and the heroic Dhrishtadyumna and the son of Sisupala, slay in battle in course of a day Duryodhana and Karna and Dussasana and Suvala's son and all others who may fight against us. And thou shalt, O Bharata, living at Hastinapura along with thy brothers, and snatching from Dhritarashtra's party the prosperity they are enjoying, rule this earth.' Mahabharata, Vana Parva: Indralokagamana Parva, SECTION LI

"Narada said, 'Having thus obtained weapons from him of Bhrigu's race, Karna began to pass his days in great joy, in the company of Duryodhana, O bull of Bharata's race! Once on a time, O monarch, many kings repaired to a self-choice at the capital of Chitrangada, the ruler of the country of the Kalingas. The city, O Bharata, full of opulence, was known by the name of Rajapura. Hundreds of rulers repaired thither for obtaining the hand of the maiden. Hearing that diverse kings had assembled there, Duryodhana. also, on his golden car, proceeded thither, accompanied by Karna. When the festivities commenced in that self-choice, diverse rulers, O best of kings, came thither for the hand of the maiden. There were amongst them Sisupala and Jarasandha and Bhishmaka and Vakra, and Kapotaroman and Nila and Rukmi of steady prowess, and Sringa who was ruler of the kingdom females, and Asoka and Satadhanwan and the heroic ruler of the Bhojas.

Lesson: Introduction to Matriarchy

Matriarchy is a social structure in which women hold the primary power positions in government, family, and other aspects of society. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of matriarchy and its relevance in history.

Section 1: What is Matriarchy?

Matriarchy is a system of social organization where power is held by women. This means that women are the leaders and decision-makers in the community. Matriarchy is different from patriarchy, which is a system where men hold the power.

Section 2: Examples of Matriarchy

One example of matriarchy is the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta. In Sparta, women held a great deal of power and were responsible for many aspects of society. Another example is the Native American tribe known as the Iroquois. The Iroquois had a matrilineal system, which means that property and status were passed down through the mother's lineage.

Section 3: Matriarchy in Hindu Scriptures

Matriarchy is also mentioned in several Hindu scriptures. One example is the Rigveda, which contains hymns to the goddess Saraswati, who represents knowledge and learning. Another example is the Mahabharata, which mentions the Kingdom of Women or Stri Rajya, where women held the power.

Section 4: Practical Examples

One practical example of matriarchy can be found in the Amazonian culture. In this society, women were the ones who went to war and held the power. They were responsible for making decisions and leading the community.

Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, matriarchy is an interesting concept that has been present in many societies throughout history. By studying matriarchy, we can learn more about the role of women in society and how power dynamics have changed over time.

Blue Christmas Service

For those suffering from recent loss though death, divorce, separation, unemployment, depression

Thursday 19 December, 7.30 pm

Cries of “Merry Christmas!” and non-stop carolling contrast with the feelings of many people at this time of the year. For those suffering from the recent or impending death of loved ones, dealing with recent separation or divorce, struggling to find employment, or facing depression or family crisis, this can be a very isolated and dreary time. Every greeting and every song reminds the grief-stricken how unhappy life is at this moment.

We recognise that a lot of the Christmas celebrations do not meet everyone’s needs. To fill this gap we are offering Blue Christmas: A Service of Hope and Healing for the Holiday Season. People who are not having a very merry Christmas, and friends who support them, are invited to come and sit with one another in a liturgy that speaks of the love of God for the grieving. There will be an opportunity for individual prayer with Ruth, our Minister, at this service.

Lesson: Coping with Loss during the Holiday Season

Introduction:
The holiday season can be a difficult time for those who are grieving or going through tough times. In this lesson, we will learn about coping strategies for those who are experiencing loss during the holiday season.

Section 1: Understanding Grief and Loss

Topic 1: What is grief?
Grief is a natural response to loss. It is the emotional pain that comes from losing someone or something that you care about. Grief can be caused by the death of a loved one, divorce, separation, or any other type of loss.

Topic 2: How does grief affect people during the holiday season?
The holiday season can bring up a lot of emotions for people who are grieving. This is because the holidays are often associated with happy memories and traditions. When someone is missing from a family gathering or celebration, it can be very difficult for those who are left behind. Additionally, the commercialization of the holiday season can make it feel like everyone else is happy and joyful, which can make those who are grieving feel even more isolated.

Section 2: Coping Strategies for Grief during the Holiday Season

Topic 1: Take care of yourself
It is important to take care of yourself during the holiday season. Make sure to get enough rest, eat well, and exercise regularly. This will help you stay physically and emotionally healthy.

Topic 2: Connect with others
Connecting with others can help you feel less alone during the holiday season. Reach out to friends and family members who understand what you are going through. You can also join a support group for people who are grieving.

Topic 3: Create new traditions
If someone close to you has passed away, it can be hard to celebrate the holidays without them. Consider creating new traditions that honor their memory while also bringing joy to your own life.

Topic 4: Remember the good times
Remembering the good times with your loved one can help you feel closer to them, even if they are no longer here. Share stories and memories with others who knew them.

Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Example: If someone's spouse has passed away, they may feel lonely during the holiday season. They can reach out to friends and family members who understand what they are going through. They can also create new traditions, such as volunteering at a local soup kitchen on Christmas Day.

Real-World Scenario: A woman whose husband died suddenly last year is dreading the holiday season. She doesn't want to celebrate without him, but her children want to have a Christmas tree and exchange presents. She can create a new tradition by setting up a memorial tree in her living room and inviting friends and family over to share stories and memories of her husband.

Conclusion:
The holiday season can be a difficult time for those who are grieving or going through tough times. By taking care of yourself, connecting with others, creating new traditions, and remembering the good times, you can cope with loss during the holiday season. Remember that it is okay to feel sad or lonely, and that you are not alone in your struggles.

This year I have a new obsession to indulge in during my travels. It's an album called On The Quiet by the Portuguese artist Xinobi.. I added it to my Spotify queue of albums to catch up on before I embarked on my journeys to Las Vegas, Miami and Mexico and this album set the perfect tone. From the roar of a plane's engine, to a calming sensation of watching the clouds go by, the sounds Xinobi created were the perfect companion. I love moment defining music and this album will certainly define the spring of 2017 for me. Listen to the full album below and stay tuned for an updated playlist of travel music.

Lesson Title: The Importance of Music in Travel

Introduction:
Music is an essential part of our lives. It has the power to evoke emotions, create memories, and inspire us to explore new places. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of music in travel and how it can enhance our experiences.

Section 1: The Role of Music in Travel

Topic 1: Emotional Connection
Music has the ability to connect with our emotions in a way that nothing else can. When we listen to music, it can make us feel happy, sad, or even nostalgic. These emotions are what make travel so special. When we travel, we experience new cultures, people, and places that can evoke strong emotions within us. Listening to music while traveling can help us connect with these emotions and make our experiences more meaningful.

Topic 2: Creating Memories
Music has the power to create lasting memories. When we listen to music, it can take us back to a specific moment in time. This is why many people associate certain songs with specific memories. When we travel, we create new memories that we cherish forever. Listening to music while traveling can help us remember these moments and keep them alive.

Topic 3: Inspiration
Music can also inspire us to explore new places. When we hear a song that speaks to us, it can motivate us to book a trip and experience the world. Traveling is all about exploring new cultures and experiencing new things. Music can inspire us to step out of our comfort zones and try something new.

Section 2: Practical Applications

Topic 1: Playlists
Creating a playlist is a great way to incorporate music into your travels. A playlist is a collection of songs that you can listen to in a specific order.

text: In terms a ordinary Joe can understand, what's the differences in speaker cables vs. guitar cables? For instances, I know it's bad to use guitar cables on PA speakers, mixing board, etc. Why?? Also, use a speaker cable between a head and cabinet, right? Not a guitar cable? But you use guitar cables between pedals, but once it gets to the head, then you go to speaker cables...... Just give me a generic explaination........thanks so much for feeding the numbskull.

textbook:
Sure thing! Let's break it down into simple terms.
First, let's start with the basics. Speaker cables and guitar cables are both types of electrical cables used to transmit audio signals. However, they differ in their construction and design, which makes them suitable for different purposes.
Speaker cables are designed to carry high voltages and currents, which are necessary to drive loudspeakers. They typically have thicker wires and heavier connectors to handle the load. On the other hand, guitar cables are designed to carry low voltages and currents, which are necessary to transmit the signal from a guitar to an amplifier or pedal. They typically have thinner wires and lighter connectors.
So, why is it bad to use guitar cables on PA speakers, mixing boards, etc.? It's because guitar cables are not designed to handle the high voltages and currents that speaker cables can. Using a guitar cable on a PA system can damage the equipment and produce poor sound quality.
Similarly, using a speaker cable between a head and cabinet is not recommended. Speaker cables are designed to carry high voltages and currents, which can damage the sensitive electronics in a guitar amplifier. Guitar cables, on the other hand, are designed to handle the lower voltages and currents required by guitar amps.
However, you can use guitar cables between pedals, as they are designed to handle the low voltages and currents required by pedals. Once the signal reaches the guitar amplifier, you would switch to a speaker cable to connect the amplifier to the speakers.
In summary, speaker cables and guitar cables have different designs and purposes. Speaker cables are designed to carry high voltages and currents to drive loudspeakers, while guitar cables are designed to transmit low voltages and currents from a guitar to an amplifier or pedal. Using the wrong type of cable can damage equipment and produce poor sound quality.
Glossary:
- Voltage: Measure of electrical potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit.
- Current: Flow of electric charge through a conductor.
- Cable: A conductor, typically made of metal, used to transmit electrical signals.
- Speaker cable: A type of cable designed to carry high voltages and currents to drive loudspeakers.
- Guitar cable: A type of cable designed to transmit low voltages and currents from a guitar to an amplifier or pedal.
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the differences between speaker cables and guitar cables. We learned that they have different designs and purposes, and using the wrong type of cable can damage equipment and produce poor sound quality. By understanding these concepts, we can make informed decisions when choosing cables for our audio equipment.

Usability and feasibility of mobile phone diaries in an experimental physical exercise study.
Wireless and mobile phone technology as a method of data collection will increase alongside conventional methods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of a mobile phone application for recording symptoms and physical activity exertion during an experimental physical exercise study. An experimental study on the effects of physical exercise on the well-being of menopausal women included 158 subjects between 44 and 63 years of age. The women were randomized into intervention and control groups. All participants in both groups reported daily symptoms by responding to morning and evening questionnaires via mobile phones. The usability of the mobile phone as a data collector tool was evaluated with the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire 2 months after the intervention. The feasibility evaluation was based on the frequency of responses and open questions. The response rates were about 70% to both morning and evening questionnaires. The average frequency of responses (n =158) to morning questionnaires was 125 (±40)/170 (±14) and to evening questionnaires was 118 (±40)/171 (±14). The response rate did not differ between the intervention and the control groups. The SUS score was on average 75.4 (range, 0-100; n =107). A mobile phone diary is a feasible and usable tool for data collection in clinical trials.

**Lesson: Understanding the Film Industry**

**Introduction:** The film industry is a multi-billion dollar business that creates and distributes movies for audiences around the world. In this lesson, we will explore the various aspects of the film industry, including its history, how films are made, and how they are distributed and marketed.

**Section 1: History of the Film Industry**

The history of the film industry dates back to the late 19th century when the first motion pictures were created. Thomas Edison and his assistant, William Dickson, are credited with creating the first practical film camera and projector in 1889. The first commercial movie theater opened in 1905, and by the 1920s, the industry had grown significantly, with major studios producing and distributing films.

**Section 2: How Films Are Made**

Making a film is a complex process that involves many different people and stages. Here is an overview of the main stages involved in making a film:

1. Development: This stage involves coming up with an idea for a film and finding a writer or team of writers to turn that idea into a script. The development stage may also involve finding investors to help fund the film.

2. Pre-production: During this stage, the film's budget is finalized, the cast and crew are hired, and the shooting schedule is set. The director works with the cinematographer and production designer to plan out the visual look of the film.

3. Production: This is the stage where the actual filming takes place. The cast and crew work together to shoot the scenes in the script, following the shot list and schedule set during pre-production.

4. Post-production: After filming is complete, the editing process begins. The editor works with the director to create a rough cut of the film, which is then refined and polished until the final edit is complete. During post-production, other elements such as sound design and music composition are also added to the film.

**Section 3: Distribution and Marketing**

Once a film is finished, it needs to be distributed and marketed to audiences. Distributors acquire the rights to release a film and decide how and when it will be released. They may also create marketing materials such as trailers and posters to promote the film.

Marketing involves creating buzz and interest in the film before it is released. This may include screenings for critics and industry professionals, social media campaigns, and publicity stunts.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we have explored the history of the film industry, the process of making a film, and how films are distributed and marketed. Understanding these aspects of the film industry can help you appreciate the art and craft of filmmaking and enjoy movies even more.

**Glossary:**
- Film: A movie or motion picture.
- Cinematographer: The person responsible for capturing the visuals of a film on camera.
- Editor: The person who assembles the footage of a film and creates the final cut.
- Distributor: A company or individual that acquires the rights to release a film.
- Marketing: The process of promoting a film to potential audiences.

**Self-Debate Discussion:** What factors do you think contribute to the success of a film? Is it the quality of the storytelling, the performances of the actors, or the marketing efforts of the distributor?

text: More than 20 million people are at risk of starving to death. Will the world step up?. A). Opinion afflicted.. With public awareness still lagging, one encouraging development has been the formation by eight large U.S. private relief organizations of an unprecedented alliance, the Global Emergency Response Coalition, which on Monday launched a two-week fundraising drive. The campaign has attracted backing from several U.S. corporations, including Blackrock, PepsiCo and Google; funds raised will be divided equally among the relief groups and used for aid in the four countries as well as six of their neighbors. The groups correctly make the point that further delays in aid, whether because of a lack of donations or bureaucratic slowness in distributing them, will translate directly into more avoidable deaths. “The crisis,” says Carolyn Miles, the chief executive of Save the Children, “is really reaching a peak.”.
