Obviously everyone's very excited about the impending release of Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood, but beyond that there's the lingering question of what Quentin Tarantino's 10th and - if you believe the man himself - final film is likely to be.

There's been mention of a possible sequel to Django Unchained, but it's unclear whether the Pulp Fiction director will be at the helm for that project. Meanwhile Tarantino has confirmed that he's working on an instalment in the Star Trek franchise, and that if it ever reaches the screen it'll be exactly as uncompromisingly Tarantino as you'd hope it would be.

"Oh yeah! It's an R-rated movie," Tarantino told Empire. "If I do it, it'll be R-rated."

Bad Robot

It does sound like things are very much at the knocking-ideas-about stage rather than the ringing-Michael-Madsen's-agent stage, though there is a draft script knocking about somewhere.

"There's a script that exists for it now," Tarantino confirmed. "I need to weigh in on it, but I haven't been able to do that yet."

This content is imported from {embed-name}. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

So, as it sounds like a Tarantino co-writing job rather than a full script and directing job, that might mean this Star Trek project is not the mythical 10th Tarantino film. But what else do we know about the script?

Tarantino didn't say anything else about the direction he's gone in with it, but there has been one little teaser. "I know a little bit about what that is," Karl Urban, who's played Bones McCoy in the franchise so far, said last year, "and it's bananas."

### Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Define what a variable is and how it is used in programming.
2. Understand the concept of loops and how they are used to repeat code.
3. Explain what conditional statements are and how they are used to make decisions in programming.
4. Write simple programs using variables, loops, and conditional statements.
5. Apply programming concepts to real-world scenarios.

### Section 1: What is Coding?

Coding is the process of writing computer programs. It involves using a programming language to give instructions to a computer to perform specific tasks.

### Section 2: Variables

Variables are like storage containers for data. They hold values that can be manipulated by the program. These values can be numbers, strings, or even other variables.

### Section 3: Loops

Loops are used to repeat code. They allow the program to execute a set of instructions multiple times without having to rewrite them each time. There are two types of loops: while loops and for loops.

### Section 4: Conditional Statements

Conditional statements are used to make decisions in programming. They allow the program to choose between different paths based on certain conditions. If/else statements are a type of conditional statement.

### Section 5: Writing Programs

Using the concepts learned in the previous sections, students will now write their own programs. They can start with simple programs that use variables, loops, and conditional statements to solve problems.

### Section 6: Real-World Scenarios

Students will now apply the programming concepts they have learned to real-world scenarios. For example, they could create a program that calculates the total cost of items in a shopping cart or one that simulates a simple game.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, students have learned the basics of coding, including variables, loops, and conditional statements. They have applied these concepts to real-world scenarios and written their own programs. With this foundation, they can continue to explore the world of programming and develop their skills.

# Lesson: The Damon System - An Alternative to Traditional Braces
## Introduction
The Damon System is an alternative to traditional braces that offers several benefits over conventional treatment methods. In this lesson, we will explore the advantages of the Damon System and how it can help patients achieve straighter teeth in a more comfortable and faster way.
## Section 1: What is the Damon System?
The Damon System is a type of braces that uses a unique self-ligating bracket technology. This means that the wires used to straighten teeth are held in place by a special clip instead of traditional elastics or rubber bands. The Damon System also uses smaller, more discreet brackets and wires, making them less visible than traditional braces.
## Section 2: Advantages of the Damon System
There are several advantages to choosing the Damon System over traditional braces. These include:
- Faster treatment times: The Damon System uses a slide mechanism instead of elastics or rubber bands, which allows for faster treatment times.
- More comfortable treatment: The Damon System is designed to be more comfortable than traditional braces because it puts less pressure on the teeth and gums.
- Reduced risk of damage to teeth: Since the Damon System uses a clip instead of elastics or rubber bands, there is less risk of damage to the teeth during treatment.
- Improved appearance: The Damon System uses smaller, more discreet brackets and wires, making them less visible than traditional braces.
## Section 3: How does the Damon System work?
The Damon System works by using a combination of brackets, wires, and a special clip to straighten teeth. The brackets are attached to the teeth using a special adhesive, and the wires are threaded through the brackets and clipped into place. The clip holds the wire in place without the need for elastics or rubber bands.
## Section 4: Real-world examples
Here are some examples of how the Damon System has helped patients achieve straighter teeth in a more comfortable and faster way:
- John had been wearing traditional braces for two years when he was referred to Dr. Hall for treatment with the Damon System. After just six months, his teeth were straighter than they had ever been before.
- Sarah had been hesitant to get braces because she had heard that they were uncomfortable and took a long time to work. However, after just eight months of treatment with the Damon System, her teeth were straight and she was able to enjoy a more confident smile.
- Michael had been told that he would need tooth extractions, headgear, rapid palatal expanders, and surgery to correct his bite. However, after treatment with the Damon System, he was able to avoid all of those procedures and achieve a beautiful smile.
## Glossary
- Brackets: Small pieces of metal or ceramic that are attached to the teeth to hold the wires in place during treatment.
- Clip: A special piece of hardware that holds the wire in place without the need for elastics or rubber bands.
- Self-ligating bracket technology: A type of bracket that holds the wire in place without the need for elastics or rubber bands.
- Wires: Thin pieces of metal that are used to straighten teeth during treatment.
## Conclusion
The Damon System is an excellent alternative to traditional braces for patients who want straighter teeth in a more comfortable and faster way. By using a unique self-ligating bracket technology, the Damon System offers several advantages over conventional treatment methods, including faster treatment times, more comfortable treatment, reduced risk of damage to teeth, and improved appearance. If you are considering braces, be sure to ask your orthodontist about the Damon System to see if it is right for you.

Lesson: Introduction to Thermal Management

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

Thermal management is the process of controlling the temperature of a system to ensure that its components operate within their ideal temperature range. This is important because excessive heat can cause damage to electronic components and reduce the efficiency of the system. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic principles of thermal management and how they apply to real-world scenarios.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

Let's consider a simple example of a laptop computer. The processor inside the laptop generates heat as it operates. If the temperature gets too high, it can cause the processor to slow down or even stop working. To prevent this, the laptop has a cooling system that uses fans to circulate air around the processor and dissipate the heat. This is an example of active thermal management.

**Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions**

1. Why is thermal management important?
   - It prevents damage to electronic components
   - It ensures that the system operates at peak efficiency
   - It prolongs the lifespan of the system

2. What are some common methods of passive thermal management?
   - Using materials with high thermal conductivity
   - Designing components to minimize air resistance
   - Using natural convection to circulate air

3. How does active thermal management work?
   - Active thermal management systems use components such as fans or pumps to circulate coolant around the system.
   - These systems can be designed to provide localized cooling or whole-system cooling.
   - They are often used in high-performance computing systems where active cooling is necessary to maintain optimal performance.

**Glossary**

- Thermal management: The process of controlling the temperature of a system to ensure that its components operate within their ideal temperature range.
- Heat: Energy that is transferred between two objects due to a difference in temperature.
- Convection: The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
- Conductivity: The ability of a material to transfer heat.

**Conclusion**

Thermal management is an important aspect of modern technology. By understanding the basic principles and applying them to real-world scenarios, we can ensure that our systems operate at peak efficiency and prevent damage to electronic components. As we continue to learn about thermal management, we will be better equipped to solve complex problems and create innovative solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible.

Lesson: Understanding Political Speeches and their Impact on Society

Introduction:
Political speeches are an essential part of any democratic society. They allow politicians to communicate their ideas, plans, and vision to the public. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze political speeches and understand their impact on society.

Section 1: Analyzing Political Speeches
Topic 1: Rhetorical Devices
Politicians use various rhetorical devices to make their speeches more persuasive. These devices include repetition, metaphors, and analogies. By understanding these devices, we can better analyze political speeches.

Topic 2: Tone and Style
The tone and style of a politician's speech can reveal their attitude towards a particular issue. For example, a politician may use a formal or informal tone to convey their message.

Topic 3: Key Messages
Political speeches often contain key messages that the speaker wants to convey to the public. These messages may include promises, proposals, or statements of intent.

Section 2: Analyzing the Impact of Political Speeches
Topic 1: Public Opinion
Political speeches can influence public opinion. For example, a well-delivered speech may increase a politician's popularity, while a poorly delivered speech may decrease it.

Topic 2: Policy Change
Political speeches can lead to policy changes. For example, if a politician proposes a new policy in their speech, it may lead to a debate and ultimately a change in policy.

Topic 3: Historical Significance
Some political speeches become historically significant. For example, President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is considered one of the most famous political speeches in American history.

Section 3: Applying Skills to New Problems
Now that we have learned how to analyze political speeches, we can apply these skills to new problems. For example, if we hear a politician's speech and want to determine its impact on society, we can use the techniques we have learned to analyze the speech.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding political speeches and their impact on society is an essential skill for any citizen. By analyzing speeches, we can better understand the policies and ideas of politicians and make informed decisions when voting.

Test-retest reliability for the consonant-vowel syllables dichotic listening paradigm.
The present study compared test-retest reliability for dichotic listening (DL) performance to consonant-vowel (CV) syllables under three different attentional instructions. Previous studies of reliability in dichotic listening have shown great variability which most likely reflects the large variations in stimuli, procedures, and techniques used in the different studies. Sixteen subjects were tested twice, 2 weeks apart, with the same dichotic listening procedure, including a divided attention condition and two focused attention conditions on each test occasion. The results showed test-retest correlations ranging from .61 to .86 for the three attentional conditions, with the smallest correlation coefficient for the divided attention condition.

**Lesson: Test-Retest Reliability**

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will learn about test-retest reliability and its application in the field of psychology. We will focus on the concept of test-retest reliability for the consonant-vowel syllables dichotic listening paradigm.

**Main Topics:**
1. What is test-retest reliability?
2. How is test-retest reliability measured?
3. What is the consonant-vowel syllables dichotic listening paradigm?
4. What are the different attentional instructions in dichotic listening?
5. What are the results of the present study?
6. How can we apply the skills gained from this topic to new problems?

**Section 1: What is test-retest reliability?**
Test-retest reliability refers to the consistency of a measure over time. In other words, it measures how stable the results of a test are when administered twice, with some interval of time between the two administrations.

**Section 2: How is test-retest reliability measured?**
Test-retest reliability is typically measured by calculating the correlation coefficient between the two sets of scores obtained from the same individuals at different times. A higher correlation coefficient indicates better test-retest reliability.

**Section 3: What is the consonant-vowel syllables dichotic listening paradigm?**
Dichotic listening is a technique used in psychology to study auditory perception. In this technique, different stimuli are presented to each ear, and the subject is asked to respond to one of the stimuli. The consonant-vowel syllables dichotic listening paradigm involves presenting consonant-vowel syllables to each ear, and the subject is asked to identify the target syllable.

**Section 4: What are the different attentional instructions in dichotic listening?**
There are three different attentional instructions in dichotic listening: focused attention, divided attention, and no attention. Focused attention requires the subject to attend to one of the stimuli, while divided attention requires the subject to attend to both stimuli simultaneously. No attention instruction does not require the subject to attend to either stimulus.

**Section 5: What are the results of the present study?**
The present study compared test-retest reliability for dichotic listening (DL) performance to consonant-vowel (CV) syllables under three different attentional instructions. The results showed test-retest correlations ranging from .61 to .86 for the three attentional conditions, with the smallest correlation coefficient for the divided attention condition.

**Section 6: How can we apply the skills gained from this topic to new problems?**
Understanding test-retest reliability is important in psychology because it helps us understand how stable the results of a test are over time. This information can be used to determine the usefulness of a test in a particular context. Additionally, understanding the consonant-vowel syllables dichotic listening paradigm can help us appreciate the complexities of auditory perception and the role of attention in this process. Finally, the results of this study can guide future research on dichotic listening and the development of new attentional tasks.

**Glossary:**
- Test-retest reliability: The consistency of a measure over time
- Dichotic listening: A technique used in psychology to study auditory perception
- Consonant-vowel syllables: Pairs of consonants and vowels that form syllables
- Attentional instructions: Directions given to participants to direct their attention towards a specific stimulus
- Correlation coefficient: A statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables

**Conclusion:**
In this lesson, we learned about test-retest reliability and its application in the field of psychology. We specifically focused on the concept of test-retest reliability for the consonant-vowel syllables dichotic listening paradigm. We discussed the main topics related to this concept, including what test-retest reliability is, how it is measured, and the results of the present study. Finally, we concluded by emphasizing the importance of understanding test-retest reliability and its application to new problems.

Lesson: Understanding Influenza Vaccines

Introduction:
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. It can lead to mild to severe illness and even death in some cases. To protect against the flu, people are advised to get vaccinated each year. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of getting vaccinated against the flu, how the vaccine works, and what to expect during and after the vaccination process.

Section 1: Importance of Getting Vaccinated Against the Flu

Topic 1: Why Get Vaccinated?
- The flu can cause mild to severe illness, and even death in some cases.
- Getting vaccinated can protect you and others around you from getting the flu.
- It can also reduce the severity of the illness if you do get infected.

Topic 2: Who Should Get Vaccinated?
- Everyone 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated, especially those at higher risk of complications from the flu, such as young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with chronic health conditions.
- Healthcare workers and caregivers of young children should also get vaccinated to prevent the spread of the flu to vulnerable populations.

Section 2: How the Vaccine Works

Topic 1: Types of Influenza Vaccines
- There are two types of influenza vaccines: inactivated (or killed) vaccines and live attenuated (weakened) vaccines.
- Inactivated vaccines are made from inactivated (killed) viruses and are given as a shot (injection).
- Live attenuated vaccines are made from weakened (live) viruses and are given as a nasal spray.

Topic 2: How the Vaccine Provides Protection
- When you get vaccinated, the vaccine introduces a small amount of the virus (either inactivated or weakened) into your body.
- Your immune system then recognizes the virus as foreign and mounts an immune response against it.
- This process helps your body to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight off the flu virus if you are exposed to it in the future.

Section 3: What to Expect During and After the Vaccination Process

Topic 1: Side Effects
- Some people may experience side effects after getting vaccinated, such as soreness at the injection site, fever, or body aches.
- These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a day or two.

Topic 2: When to Get Vaccinated
- It is recommended that people get vaccinated before the flu season starts, which is typically in October or November.
- However, getting vaccinated later in the season can still provide protection for the rest of the flu season and into the next flu season.

Conclusion:
Getting vaccinated against the flu is an important step in protecting yourself and others from the illness. By understanding how the vaccine works and what to expect during and after the vaccination process, you can make an informed decision about whether to get vaccinated and when to do so. Remember, the best time to get vaccinated is before the flu season starts, but getting vaccinated later in the season can still provide protection.

Glossary:
- Influenza: a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus
- Vaccine: a substance used to stimulate the body's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease
- Antibodies: proteins produced by the immune system that help fight off infections
- Immune response: the body's defense mechanism against infections and diseases
- Live attenuated vaccines: weakened forms of the virus that are still able to replicate but do not cause the disease.

Lesson: Understanding the Meaning of "Awesome"

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will explore the meaning of the word "awesome." We will learn about the different ways people use this word, and how understanding its meaning can help us become better communicators.

**Section 1: Defining "Awesome"**

The word "awesome" is often used to describe something that is impressive or amazing. However, the meaning of this word can vary depending on the context in which it is used. For example, someone might say "that's awesome" when they see a cool trick or hear a great joke. On the other hand, someone might use the word "awesome" to describe a natural disaster or a dangerous situation.

**Section 2: Understanding Context**

Understanding the context in which the word "awesome" is used is important because it helps us communicate more effectively. For example, if you are talking to someone who has just completed a difficult task, using the word "awesome" to describe their accomplishment may not be appropriate. Instead, you could use words like "impressive" or "remarkable."

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's consider some practical examples of how the meaning of "awesome" can vary depending on context. Imagine that you are a teacher and one of your students has just completed a challenging project. You might say "that's awesome" to express your admiration for the student's hard work and dedication. However, if you were talking to someone who had just survived a dangerous situation, using the same phrase might not be appropriate. In this case, you might want to use words like "incredible" or "amazing" to convey the gravity of the situation.

**Section 4: Self-Debate Discussion**

Now, let's consider a self-debate discussion. Suppose you are trying to decide whether to take on a new project at work. You are excited about the opportunity but also nervous about the amount of work involved. In this case, you might debate with yourself using the word "awesome" in two different ways. On one hand, you might see the project as an "awesome" opportunity to showcase your skills and achieve success. On the other hand, you might worry that taking on the project would be "awful" because it could lead to burnout or negatively impact your current workload.

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we have explored the meaning of the word "awesome" and how its meaning can vary depending on context. By understanding the different ways in which this word is used, we can become better communicators and make more informed decisions. Whether we are using the word to express admiration or caution, it is important to choose our words carefully and use them appropriately.

Redshark was originally written to be a more Pokemon-friendly version of the Apprentice computer program. Apprentice can be used to play the Pokemon TCG, but because it was originally written to play the Magic The Gathering card game, its terminology is not like the Pokemon TCG’s. Thus, it can be confusing to use. Most players who once used Apprentice have now migrated to Redshark because it is made specifically for Pokemon.

text: This story is unavailable.. Bill big fan here and this is great stuff. But the PED thing just had an unsavory feel. The Draymond thing was funny because there is a history there. The PED issue has always been based on idle speculation. LeBron was a beast in High School. He has been a freak of nature since he was 15. To speculate that his team has PED problem the way you framed it seemed ugly. I know you don’t read this stuff and I know I am probably being oversensitive to a fictional piece, but I just found it superfluous and unnecessary. A joke about LeBron finally missing time to an injury would have gone over much better than the PED’s. I thought you would be sensitive to cheating allegations after deflategate.

## Lesson: Critical Thinking and Debate
### Introduction
Critical thinking and debate are essential skills in today's world. They allow us to analyze information, make informed decisions, and communicate our ideas effectively. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of critical thinking and debate, including how to identify logical fallacies, evaluate evidence, and construct persuasive arguments.
### Section 1: What is Critical Thinking?
Critical thinking is the process of analyzing information and ideas to reach a reasoned conclusion. It involves identifying assumptions, evaluating evidence, and considering alternative points of view. Critical thinking is not just about agreeing or disagreeing with someone else's ideas; it's about understanding why we believe what we believe and whether our beliefs are supported by evidence.
### Section 2: How to Identify Logical Fallacies
Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that can undermine our ability to think critically. There are many types of logical fallacies, but some common ones include:
- Ad hominem: attacking the person instead of the argument
- Straw man: misrepresenting an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack
- False dilemma: presenting only two options when more may exist
- Appeal to authority: relying on the opinion of an expert without considering the evidence
To avoid logical fallacies, we must learn to evaluate evidence carefully and consider multiple perspectives. We should also be aware of our own biases and prejudices, which can cloud our judgment.
### Section 3: Evaluating Evidence
Evaluating evidence is an important part of critical thinking. We need to ask questions like:
- Is the evidence reliable?
- Does the evidence support the claim being made?
- Are there other explanations for the evidence that have not been considered?
To evaluate evidence effectively, we need to use critical thinking skills such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. We also need to be aware of the limitations of our own perception and memory.
### Section 4: Constructing Persuasive Arguments
Once we have evaluated the evidence, we can construct persuasive arguments that take into account multiple perspectives. A persuasive argument should:
- Be clear and concise
- Use evidence to support the claim
- Address counterarguments and objections
- Be written in a style that is appropriate for the audience
To construct a persuasive argument, we need to use critical thinking skills such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. We also need to be aware of the rhetorical devices that can be used to persuade others.
### Glossary
- Critical thinking: the process of analyzing information and ideas to reach a reasoned conclusion
- Logical fallacy: an error in reasoning that undermines our ability to think critically
- Evidence: information that supports or refutes a claim
- Persuasive argument: an argument that is designed to convince others of a particular point of view
### Conclusion
Critical thinking and debate are essential skills that allow us to analyze information, make informed decisions, and communicate our ideas effectively. By learning how to identify logical fallacies, evaluate evidence, and construct persuasive arguments, we can become better thinkers and communicators.
