Lesson: Introduction to Abstract Art

Abstract art is a style of visual art that does not depict a person, place, or thing in the natural world. Instead, it uses colors, shapes, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect. This lesson will introduce students to the basics of abstract art, including its history, characteristics, and techniques.

**Section 1: History of Abstract Art**

Abstract art emerged in the early 20th century as artists sought to break away from traditional representational art. This movement was influenced by several factors, including the development of photography, which made it easier to reproduce images accurately, and the rise of industrialization, which created a sense of alienation and disconnection from nature.

The first abstract artists included Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian. These artists experimented with different forms of abstraction, including geometric shapes, colors, and gestural marks.

**Section 2: Characteristics of Abstract Art**

Abstract art can be characterized by several key features, including:

- Non-representation: Unlike representational art, abstract art does not depict objects or events from the natural world.
- Use of color and shape: Abstract artists use color and shape to create visual interest and to convey emotional and intellectual content.
- Gestural marks: Many abstract artists use gestural marks, such as brushstrokes or lines, to create a sense of movement and energy.
- Layering: Some abstract artists use layering techniques to create depth and complexity in their work.

**Section 3: Techniques of Abstract Art**

There are several techniques that artists use to create abstract art, including:

- Geometric abstraction: This technique involves using simple shapes, such as circles, squares, and triangles, to create abstract compositions.
- Color field painting: This technique involves using large areas of color to create a sense of space and depth.
- Action painting: This technique involves using gestural marks and spontaneous brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and energy.
- Minimalism: This technique involves creating simple, geometric compositions with minimal use of color and form.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's look at some examples of abstract art to see these techniques in action:

- **Geometric Abstraction:** Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square" is an example of geometric abstraction. It consists of a black square on a white background, with no other visual elements.
- **Color Field Painting:** Mark Rothko's "No. 61 (Rust and Blue)" is an example of color field painting. It consists of a large rectangle of dark brown, with smaller rectangles of rust and blue on top.
- **Action Painting:** Jackson Pollock's "Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist)" is an example of action painting. It consists of a chaotic web of drips and splatters, with no discernible subject matter.
- **Minimalism:** Donald Judd's "Untitled" is an example of minimalism. It consists of a simple, rectangular box made of stainless steel.

**Section 5: Self-Debating Discussions**

Now, let's engage in a self-debating discussion to explore the merits of abstract art.

**Question:** Why do some people love abstract art, while others find it confusing or uninteresting?

**Answer:** Some people appreciate the freedom and creativity of abstract art, while others prefer the clarity and recognizability of representational art. Additionally, some people may not be able to connect emotionally or intellectually with abstract art due to a lack of familiarity or understanding of its techniques.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we explored the history, characteristics, and techniques of abstract art. We also examined practical examples of abstract art and engaged in a self-debating discussion about its merits. By understanding the basics of abstract art, students can apply these skills to analyze and appreciate other works of art.

Her "guided whirligig" through evolution, cosmology and other mesmerising scientific quarters is more fizzing journalism than plodding primer and there's not a single graph or equation in sight. Its clever, combative style may well inspire you, as Angier hopes, to buy your own stereo microscope and witness, up close, a natural world where "salt grains look like scattered glass pillows" and "a baby beetle becomes a Fabergé egg".

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a semiconductor memory and an integrated circuit built therefrom, and more specifically, to a technique which uses for a channel formation region a semiconductor thin film such as SOI (Semiconductor On Insulator) or SON (Semiconductor On Nothing). The semiconductor thin film is formed on an insulating substrate (SOI) in some cases, is suspended and held at both ends by substrates in a hollow state (SON) in some other cases, and has a projecting portion which is connected at one end to a substrate in still other cases.
2. Description of the Related Art
H. J. Wann et al. have proposed in 1993 to obtain a dynamic memory that does not use a capacitor by incorporating two complementary transistors in a partially depleted SOIMOS transistor structure (See Non-patent Document 1, for example).
Recently, a memory has been proposed in which carriers are generated utilizing a carrier multiplication phenomenon such as avalanche breakdown in a drain high electric field region of a partially depleted SOIMOS transistor and the obtained carriers are used to charge a neutral body, resulting in a change in current flowing between the drain and the source of the transistor (See Non-patent Document 2, for example).
The term partially depleted SOI, abbreviated as PD SOI, refers to SOI in which a depletion layer spreads only partially in the depth direction of its semiconductor thin film to give it a neutral region. ‘Body’ is a simplified term for the above semiconductor thin film in which a channel is formed.
[Non-Patent Document 1]
H. J. Wann, C. Hu, “A capacitor-less DRAM cell on SOI substrate”, 1993, IEDM (International Electron Device Meeting) Technical Digest, pp. 635–638
[Non-Patent Document 2]
S. Okhonin et al., “A Capacitor-less 1T-DRAM Cell”, IEEE Electron Device letters, Volume 23, Number 2, pp. 85–87, February 2002
On the other hand, fully depleted (FD) SOI is used for low power consumption uses or for advanced miniaturization of SOIMOS transistor, thereby creating the need for SOI memory cells that can be applied to FDSOI. The term FD (fully depleted) SOI refers to SOI having such thickness and impurity concentration that makes the depletion layer cover the entire depth of the semiconductor thin film under some gate bias of a transistor fabricated there.
The method of utilizing carrier multiplication in a drain high electric field portion also causes carrier multiplication of a small degree in a not-selected cell which is connected to a bit line for driving at high voltage a drain of a cell to which a signal is to be written. This leads to erroneous, albeit mild, writing called ‘write disturb’ and therefore makes it difficult to assemble a large array in which a large number of cells are connected to each bit line. Furthermore, the method also needs a relatively large current, which prevents parallel programming of a large number of the cells.

Section 1: What are Semiconductors?
Semiconductors are materials that have electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. They are made of elements like silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide. These materials have unique properties that make them useful for electronic devices.

Section 2: Properties of Semiconductors
The properties of semiconductors that make them useful for electronic devices include:

1. They can be doped with impurities to increase their conductivity.
2. They have a bandgap, which means they can absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths.
3. Their conductivity can be controlled by applying an external voltage.
4. They can be used to create transistors, which are the building blocks of integrated circuits.

Section 3: Semiconductor Memory
Semiconductor memory is a type of non-volatile memory that uses semiconductor devices to store data. It is used in many electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. There are two main types of semiconductor memory: flash memory and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory).

Flash memory is a type of memory that can be erased and rewritten multiple times. It is used in USB drives, memory cards, and solid-state drives. Flash memory works by storing data in floating-gate transistors. The data is stored as charges on the gate, which can be changed by applying voltage.

EEPROM is another type of non-volatile memory that can be erased and rewritten multiple times. It is used in devices like ROM (Read-Only Memory) and PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory). EEPROM works by using a transistor with a floating gate that is controlled by an erase gate and a program gate. By applying voltage to the gates, the data can be erased or programmed.

Section 4: Integrated Circuits
An integrated circuit (IC) is a small chip that contains many transistors, diodes, and other electronic components. These components are connected together on a single piece of semiconductor material. ICs are used in many electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, and televisions.

Section 5: Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about semiconductors, their properties, and how they are used in memory and integrated circuits. We covered the basics of semiconductor memory and the two main types of semiconductor memory: flash memory and EEPROM. We also learned about integrated circuits and how they are made using semiconductor materials. By understanding these principles, we can better appreciate the technology that powers our electronic devices.

text: Bulk thermoelastic attenuation of composite materials. Abstract. A theoretical derivation is made for the effective, frequency-dependent thermoelastic bulk modulus. of an isotropic composite subjected to hydrostatic stress. producing volumetric strain. . No heat transfer is permitted to occur at the outer boundary of the composite, but as a consequence of differential heating, heat transfer among the constituents, and hence dissipation, occurs in the interior. Thus between the limits ω = 0 and ω = ∞K*(ω) is complex and the thermoelastic damping may be measured by QK−1 = Im (K*)/Re(K*). Parametric studies show the influence of various elastic and thermal properties on thermoelastic damping. Numerical calculations are made for a hypothetical lower mantle assemblage of stishovite and magnesiowüstite. The results show that thermoelastic dissipation in the lower mantle can account for the observed attenuation of the fundamental radial normal mode and can also provide interesting constraints on grain sizes.

Hi @_RichardHall, the sentence below at @Independent suggests that Israel occupied all of Lebanon from the early 80s to 2000.. However, as I'm assuming you know, they only occupied a part of southern Lebanon – about 10% of the country. I hope this can be amended. Thanks. pic.twitter.com/E17v8rut8R. — UK Media Watch (@UKMediaWatch) December 6, 2018. We also communicated our concerns to editors, who upheld our complaint and revised the sentence in question, which no accurately states that Israel occupied only southern Lebanon during those years.

Lesson: Understanding the Product Life Cycle in Health Care Services
Introduction:
The product life cycle is a model used in marketing to analyze the growth and decline of a product or service. In the health care industry, understanding the product life cycle is essential for businesses to make informed decisions about product development, marketing, and sales. This lesson will explore the four stages of the product life cycle and how they apply to health care services.
Stage 1: Introduction
In the introduction stage, a product or service is new to the market and has not yet gained widespread acceptance. During this stage, businesses focus on building awareness and generating interest in their product or service. In health care, this might involve introducing a new medical device or treatment that has the potential to revolutionize patient care.
Stage 2: Growth
During the growth stage, a product or service begins to gain traction in the market and sales increase rapidly. Businesses invest heavily in marketing and advertising to build brand awareness and attract new customers. In health care, this might involve expanding a hospital's services or opening new clinics in underserved areas.
Stage 3: Maturity
In the maturity stage, a product or service reaches its peak in sales and market share. Businesses focus on maintaining market share and profits by offering promotions and discounts to attract customers. In health care, this might involve offering special packages for elective procedures or providing incentives for patients to choose certain providers.
Stage 4: Decline
During the decline stage, a product or service experiences a decrease in sales and market share as newer, more innovative products or services enter the market. Businesses may focus on reducing costs and maximizing profits from existing customers. In health care, this might involve selling off underperforming facilities or focusing on high-margin procedures.
Conclusion:
Understanding the product life cycle is essential for businesses in the health care industry to make informed decisions about product development, marketing, and sales. By analyzing the growth and decline of a product or service, businesses can identify opportunities for expansion and innovation while also preparing for inevitable market changes.

text: Abstract. The apicomplexan, Toxoplasma gondii, infects all warm-blooded animals as intermediate hosts but only felids as definitive hosts. Dense granule proteins are critical for the survival of Toxoplasma within host cells but, whilst these proteins have been studied intensively in tachyzoites, little is known about their expression in the coccidian stages in the cat intestine. Transcriptomic profiling indicates that two putative dense granule proteins, TgGRA11A and TgGRA11B, are expressed uniquely in merozoites. Immunofluorescent microscopy of Toxoplasma-infected cat intestine and tachyzoites engineered to express TgGRA11B, reveals that it is a dense granule protein that traffics into the parasitophorous vacuole and its membrane.

Lesson: Understanding Toxoplasma gondii Infection

Introduction:
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that can infect all warm-blooded animals as intermediate hosts but only felids as definitive hosts. The parasite has two life stages: tachyzoites and coccidia. Tachyzoites are the motile stage responsible for the majority of the disease, while coccidia are the stage that forms oocysts in the definitive host. The parasite has unique dense granule proteins (TgGRAs) that are essential for its survival within host cells.

Section 1: Understanding the Life Cycle of Toxoplasma gondii

1.1 What are the two life stages of Toxoplasma gondii?
- Tachyzoites (motile stage)
- Coccidia (stage that forms oocysts in the definitive host)

1.2 How does Toxoplasma gondii infect its host?
- The parasite enters the host through ingestion of oocysts from contaminated water, soil, or food, or through contact with an infected cat's feces.
- The oocysts then rupture in the stomach, releasing sporozoites that enter the bloodstream and travel to the liver.
- The liver produces thousands of merozoites, which are released into the bloodstream when the host's immune system destroys the liver cysts.
- The merozoites invade red blood cells, where they multiply and rupture, releasing more merozoites that can infect other red blood cells or form coccidia in the lymphatic system.

1.3 What is the role of dense granule proteins in Toxoplasma gondii?
- Dense granule proteins (TgGRAs) are essential for the survival of Toxoplasma within host cells.
- They are involved in various processes, including:
  - Host cell invasion
  - Evasion of the host immune system
  - Formation of the parasitophorous vacuole

Section 2: Expression and Function of Dense Granule Proteins in Toxoplasma gondii

2.1 What is the role of TgGRA11A and TgGRA11B in Toxoplasma gondii?
- These two putative dense granule proteins are expressed uniquely in merozoites.
- Their exact functions are not yet known, but they may play a role in host cell invasion and immune evasion.

2.2 How are TgGRA11A and TgGRA11B expressed in Toxoplasma gondii?
- Transcriptomic profiling indicates that these proteins are expressed during the tachyzoite stage of the parasite's life cycle.

Section 3: Experimental Evidence for the Function of Dense Granule Proteins in Toxoplasma gondii

3.1 What is the evidence for the function of TgGRA11B?
- Immunofluorescent microscopy of Toxoplasma-infected cat intestine and tachyzoites engineered to express TgGRA11B reveals that it is a dense granule protein that traffics into the parasitophorous vacuole and its membrane.
- This suggests that TgGRA11B may play a role in the formation and maintenance of the parasitophorous vacuole, which is essential for the survival of Toxoplasma within host cells.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about the life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii, the role of dense granule proteins in the parasite's survival, and the expression and function of two putative dense granule proteins, TgGRA11A and TgGRA11B. We also explored experimental evidence supporting the function of TgGRA11B in the formation and maintenance of the parasitophorous vacuole.

Glossary:
- Protozoan: A single-celled organism that is motile during at least part of its life cycle
- Oocyst: A stage in the life cycle of some protozoa, in which the parasite develops within a protective covering
- Sporozoite: A stage in the life cycle of some protozoa, such as Plasmodium, that is transmitted to a new host by the bite of an infected insect

text: Rubert William Boyce. Sir Rubert William Boyce FRS (22 April 1863 – 16 June 1911) was an English pathologist and hygienist, known for his work on tropical medicine.. In 1898 Joseph Chamberlain, as secretary of state for the colonies, proposed that the school of medicine at Liverpool should establish a department for the study of tropical diseases. Boyce, with Alfred Lewis Jones, then founded the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, of which Ronald Ross became director, the post being shortly associated with an endowed chair at the university.. In 1901 Boyce took the lead in organising a series of expeditions sent by the School to the tropics to investigate diseases. In six years there were 17 expeditions, costly in terms of life and money. In 1905 Boyce went himself to New Orleans and British Honduras to examine epidemics of yellow fever.

Lesson: Introduction to Tropical Medicine

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Tropical medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with diseases that occur in tropical regions. These diseases are caused by various factors such as climate, soil, water, insects, and animals. The study of tropical medicine is important because it helps us understand the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of these diseases.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example of a tropical disease called malaria. Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. The symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. To prevent malaria, people can use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and sleep under mosquito nets. Treatment for malaria involves taking antimalarial medications.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now let's consider a real-world scenario. Suppose you are traveling to a tropical region and want to avoid getting sick. You can take precautions such as taking antimalarial medications, using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and sleeping under a mosquito net. Additionally, you can stay hydrated, eat well, and avoid contact with animals that may carry diseases. By taking these precautions, you can reduce your risk of getting sick and enjoy your trip safely.

### Glossary
- Tropical medicine: A branch of medicine that deals with diseases that occur in tropical regions.

Many different types of apparatus have been devised for exercising the human body. A teeter-totter, also known as a seesaw, is a well-known children's play apparatus. It consists of an elongated board that is balanced at about its longitudinal center on a fulcrum, which is typically a saw-horse. Two children then sit on opposite ends of the board facing each other. If the heavier child raises his or her feet above the ground, his or her end of the board will go down and the other end of the board will then lift the other child up into the air. Balance of the board can also be changed by sliding it longitudinally on the fulcrum.
In addition to walking and performing various other tasks and exercises, a person who wants to remain healthy will also need to be able to reliably maintain his or her balance, dynamically as well as statically. Balance board assemblies provide for this type of exercise. A balance board assembly includes an elongated board that is balanced at about its longitudinal center on a fulcrum, and the length of the board is such that a person using the apparatus for exercise can straddle the fulcrum with their two feet on respective ends of the board at the same time. The person will then face in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board.
Some balance board assemblies utilize non-motorized supports to provide a movable fulcrum; that is, a fulcrum which is capable of rolling or twisting on a supporting surface so as to move the position of the board itself relative to that supporting surface. Assemblies of this type are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,897,474 to Romero in which the fulcrum is provided by a semi-flexible ball; Collins U.S. Pat. No. 6,017,297 which shows an elliptical type roller supporting the board for allowing the board to move with respect to ground; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,125,880 to Peters, where the fulcrum for the board includes a differential drive mechanism that permits the board to be twisted in the horizontal plane. Since in all three of those patents the movable support is non-motorized, the user must then move his or her body in order to move his or her center of gravity to drive the movements of the apparatus.
Nelson U.S. Pat. No. 6,848,527 shows a motorized board that can be driven in a forward direction only, along the longitudinal axis of the board; hence it should be categorized as a skate board, not a balance board. Endo U.S. Pat. No. 5,487,441 also shows a powered skate board. Stevenson U.S. Pat. No. 3,224,785 likewise shows a skate board device that can be powered for motion in a forward direction.
The Bouvet U.S. Pat. No. 7,172,004 shows a non-motorized self-propelled skate board in which energy provided by the user first winds a band affixed to a drum, so as to thereafter provide driving power for moving the board in a direction along its longitudinal axis. Bouvet does not show an independent source of energy for moving the board.

Lesson: Understanding the Carbon Bubble
Introduction:
The carbon bubble is a term used to describe the overvaluation of fossil fuel companies based on the assumption that they can continue to extract and burn fossil fuels without causing severe environmental damage. This assumption is based on outdated information and ignores the growing body of evidence that shows the catastrophic effects of climate change. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of the carbon bubble, its impact on the economy, and ways to mitigate its effects.
Section 1: What is the Carbon Bubble?
The carbon bubble is an economic bubble caused by the overvaluation of fossil fuel companies. It is based on the assumption that these companies can continue to extract and burn fossil fuels without causing significant environmental damage. However, this assumption is based on outdated information and ignores the growing body of evidence that shows the catastrophic effects of climate change.
Section 2: Impact of the Carbon Bubble on the Economy
The carbon bubble poses a significant risk to the global economy. If governments do not take action to address climate change, the value of fossil fuel companies will plummet as investors realize that these companies cannot continue to operate without causing significant environmental damage. This could lead to a financial crisis similar to the housing bubble that caused the 2008 financial crisis.
Section 3: Mitigating the Effects of the Carbon Bubble
There are several ways to mitigate the effects of the carbon bubble. One approach is to implement a revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend. This policy would put a price on carbon emissions and return the revenue to households in the form of a dividend. This would encourage individuals and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint while providing financial support to those who are most affected by the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Section 4: Questions and Answers
Q: How does the carbon bubble affect the economy?
A: The carbon bubble poses a significant risk to the global economy. If governments do not take action to address climate change, the value of fossil fuel companies will plummet as investors realize that these companies cannot continue to operate without causing significant environmental damage. This could lead to a financial crisis similar to the housing bubble that caused the 2008 financial crisis.
Q: What is a revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend?
A: A revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend is a policy that puts a price on carbon emissions and returns the revenue to households in the form of a dividend. This policy encourages individuals and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint while providing financial support to those who are most affected by the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Conclusion:
Understanding the carbon bubble is essential for anyone who wants to be informed about the economic risks associated with climate change. By implementing policies such as a revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend, we can mitigate the effects of the carbon bubble and transition to a more sustainable economy.

I love torti's! Mine just had five healthy kittens, two of which were torti's and the other three are tangy. one silver and two orange. it's my first litter and aykdwvko! They're so precious!!! I adore your girl's eyes! They're fantastic! =^·^=

She is staring into my soul...and telling me to get cat food. What a fitting name! My cat lies to lay in my other cats bed just to piss him off. How is she temperamentally? A strange question...but my mother always said that torties were crazy cats. I'm curious if it's true.

never seen any bad temperament in her, never, so its bit weird people diss torties. she is a real cuddle cat. she never gets enough of cuddles. and when you don't give her she gives you a devil look of doom; but all she wants is laying in your arms and sleep like : [link] and she does this everyday. Even when I adopted her at the shelter the first thing she did is snuggling my face.

She is 2 years old now, but she is a very playful and curious cat. she does however have an obsession of stealing my socks and put them in her waterbowl :Y... but can never be mad at her with those eyes.

That's interesting. Our totite WAS crazy, but we loved her. Our black and white tuxedo cat is crazy. XD That's adorable how much she craves human companionship! Our kitties our from the shelter too and they couldn't be nicer more wonderful cats! My cats like to sit on my homework/computer and toss around my eraser/pencil/tablet pen and rip up my paper and chew the corners of my books. :I Can't stay mad at them with that face they give me. XD

### Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of sharing our stories with others. We will explore why it is important to tell our own personal narratives and how it can impact the lives of others. We will also look at examples of how sharing our stories has made a difference in the world.

### Section 1: Why Share Your Story?

Sharing our stories is an important part of human connection. When we share our experiences, we allow others to see a glimpse into our lives and understand us better. It also allows us to connect with others who may have had similar experiences or struggles.

Our stories can inspire and motivate others to take action or make changes in their own lives. They can also help others feel less alone in their struggles and provide comfort in knowing that they are not alone.

Additionally, sharing our stories can help us process our own emotions and experiences. Writing down or talking about our stories can help us reflect on our past and gain a new perspective on our lives.

### Section 2: Examples of Storytelling

There are many examples of how storytelling has made a difference in the world. Here are a few:

1. **Malala Yousafzai** - Malala is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. She survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban and went on to share her story with the world. Her advocacy for girls' education has inspired millions and led to policy changes in many countries.

2. **Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie** - Chimamanda is a Nigerian author who writes about race, gender, and identity. Her novel, "Americanah," tells the story of two Nigerian immigrants living in the United States. The book has sparked conversations about the black experience and immigration in America.

3. **The Moth** - The Moth is a podcast and radio show where people tell true stories live on stage without any notes or props. These stories are often personal and reveal the human experience in a raw and vulnerable way. The Moth has created a space for people to connect through storytelling and has inspired many to share their own stories.

### Section 3: Practical Examples

Let's look at some practical examples of how sharing our stories can make a difference:

1. **Overcoming Addiction** - Sharing our stories of overcoming addiction can help others who are struggling to see that recovery is possible. By talking about our experiences, we can provide hope and inspiration to those who may be feeling hopeless.

2. **Mental Health Awareness** - Many people suffer in silence with mental health issues. Sharing our stories of our own struggles can help break the stigma surrounding mental illness and encourage others to seek help.

3. **Immigrant Experience** - Immigrants often face unique challenges when moving to a new country. Sharing our stories of the immigrant experience can help others understand what it's like to be an outsider and create empathy for those who are new to a community.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, sharing our stories is an important part of human connection and can make a difference in the world. Whether it's through advocacy work, writing, or simply talking to others, our stories can inspire, motivate, and provide comfort. By sharing our experiences, we allow others to see a glimpse into our lives and connect with us on a deeper level.

Big Game Review

Big Game Review (Indian Critics)

Average Rating: 2.83/5

Reviews Counted: 4

Positive: 2

Negative: 2

From All the Indian reviews on the web

Ratings:3/5Review By:Mohar BasuSite:Times Of India

Big Game is a film which, despite its hackneyed writing, is imbued with charm and humour. Yes, the plot-line doesn’t really bow down to the logic of physics but the story’s endearing quality works as its saving grace. In its 91 minutes, Big Game can pass for junk cinema to go well with your popcorn. Its picturesque setting, exaggerated lines and well-drawn action sequences are fun while it lasts but not compelling enough to desire a repeat.

With all the trappings of an adventure film that takes place within a time frame of 24 hours, there is something charming about this outrageously fake tale which is based on an original story written by Finnish director Jalmari Helander. he narrative is straightforward, simple and obviously predictable. Except for some elevated and underwater action sequences, the treatment lacks adrenaline rushing moments. This one is worth a watch, even though you don’t invest emotionally in the film.

Though it may not be perfect, BIG GAME is a ton of fun for the fans of mindless action films, who don’t mind being stunned when some semblance of a story begins to form. However, a drawback is when the film ends, the viewer is left with a feeling of wanting more of this absurd journey.

The film lacks punch in terms of story, but makes up with Tommila and Jackson’s on screen camaraderie and the beautiful locales of Finland. Director Jalmari Helander impresses with his jaw dropping set pieces, and the supporting cast of Felicity Huffman and Jim Broadbent also does well. Why Should You Watch the Film? Catch Big Game if you’re looking to see Samuel L. Jackson on screen again, and a few super slow-motion scenes. Wait for the ejector seat scene and a more than a few things bursting into flames

**Title:** Power Generation and Telemetry

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn about power generation and telemetry, which are essential components of many modern technologies. We will cover the basics of how power is generated, how it is transmitted over long distances, and how it is used to control and monitor various systems. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of the principles behind power generation and telemetry and be able to apply them to real-world scenarios.

**Section 1: Power Generation**

**Theory:** Power generation is the process of converting energy from one form to another. In this case, we will focus on converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. This is done using generators, which are devices that convert the kinetic energy of moving objects into electrical energy.

**Practice:** Let's consider a simple example. Imagine you have a bicycle with a dynamo attached to its front wheel. As you pedal, the dynamo generates electricity that is stored in a battery. This electricity can then be used to power lights or other accessories on your bike.

**Questions:**
1. What is the difference between mechanical energy and electrical energy?
2. How does a generator convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
3. Can you think of any other examples of power generation?

**Definitions:**
- Mechanical energy: The energy an object possesses due to its motion or position.
- Electrical energy: Energy that flows through a circuit in the form of electrons.
- Generator: A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

**Section 2: Power Transmission**

**Theory:** Power transmission refers to the process of transporting electrical energy over long distances. This is typically done using power lines, which are made up of conductors that carry electrical current. The voltage of the electricity is increased at the power plant and decreased at the substation before being delivered to homes and businesses.

**Practice:** Let's consider a real-world example. The Hoover Dam generates a large amount of electricity, but it is located far from where most people live. To transport this electricity to cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix, it must be transmitted over long distances. This is done using power lines that carry the electricity across the desert.

**Questions:**
1. What is the difference between transmission and distribution of electricity?
2. Why is the voltage of electricity increased before it is transmitted over long distances?
3. How does a substation decrease the voltage of electricity before it is delivered to homes and businesses?

**Definitions:**
- Transmission: The process of transporting electrical energy over long distances.
- Distribution: The process of delivering electrical energy to homes and businesses.
- Voltage: The amount of electrical pressure that pushes electrons through a circuit.
- Substation: A facility that regulates the voltage of electricity before it is delivered to homes and businesses.

**Section 3: Power Telemetry**

**Theory:** Power telemetry refers to the process of monitoring and controlling power generation and transmission systems remotely. This is typically done using sensors and other devices that collect data and transmit it to a central location.

**Practice:** Let's consider a real-world example. A wind farm generates electricity by using wind turbines to turn generators. These generators produce electricity that is then transmitted over power lines to homes and businesses. However, it is important to monitor the performance of these turbines and the overall system to ensure that it is operating efficiently and safely. This is done using sensors and other devices that collect data and transmit it to a central location.

**Questions:**
1. What is power telemetry?
2. Why is it important to monitor and control power generation and transmission systems remotely?
3. What types of sensors and devices are used in power telemetry?

**Definitions:**
- Telemetry: The process of monitoring and controlling a system remotely using sensors and other devices.
- Sensor: A device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
- Device: A tool or equipment, especially one used for a particular purpose.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we have learned about power generation and telemetry, which are essential components of many modern technologies. We have covered the basics of how power is generated, how it is transmitted over long distances, and how it is used to control and monitor various systems. By applying these principles, we can develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.
