Lesson: Understanding Corporate Finance

### Section 1: Introduction to Corporate Finance

Corporate finance refers to the management of a company's financial resources, including its funds and investments. This includes decisions related to funding, investment, and dividend policies. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of corporate finance and learn about the different ways companies raise capital to fund their operations.

### Section 2: Understanding Debt and Equity Financing

Companies can raise capital through two main sources: debt and equity financing. Debt financing involves borrowing money from lenders, while equity financing involves selling shares of stock to investors. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, and companies must carefully consider which option is best for their needs.

Debt financing is typically more expensive than equity financing because it must be repaid with interest. However, it does not require the company to give up any ownership or control. Equity financing, on the other hand, provides capital in exchange for a share in the company's ownership. This means that investors may receive a portion of the company's profits in the form of dividends, but they also bear the risk of losing their investment if the company fails.

### Section 3: Types of Debt and Equity Securities

There are several types of debt securities that companies can issue, including bonds, notes, and commercial paper. These securities are typically sold to investors at a discount from their face value and pay interest over time.

Equity securities include common and preferred stock. Common stockholders have voting rights and are entitled to a portion of the company's profits in the form of dividends. Preferred stockholders do not have voting rights, but they are typically entitled to a fixed dividend payment before common stockholders receive any dividends.

### Section 4: Risks and Benefits of Debt and Equity Financing

Both debt and equity financing have risks and benefits that companies must consider when making financing decisions. Debt financing can be more expensive in the long run, but it does not dilute ownership or control. Equity financing can provide a source of capital without the need to repay the funds, but it may also require giving up some ownership and control.

### Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, understanding corporate finance is essential for anyone interested in business or investing. By learning about the different sources of capital and how they work, you can make informed decisions about your own finances and better understand the financial landscape of the business world.


text: Adding Privacy With A Chain Link Fence 20 October 2016 Chain link fences are economical, sturdy, and can last for years. This type of fencing is also great for homeowners with pets since it can be used to enclose a large yard without costing as much as other fencing types. Chain link fences are also great for those who want an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape. However, for those who want more privacy, chain link fencing can pose some challenges.

textbook:
Title: Adding Privacy With A Chain Link Fence

## Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn about chain link fences and how they can be used to add privacy to your yard. We will cover the following topics:

1. What is a chain link fence?
2. How does a chain link fence provide privacy?
3. Types of materials used in chain link fences
4. How to install a chain link fence
5. Maintenance tips for chain link fences

## What is a chain link fence?

A chain link fence is a type of fencing made up of interconnected metal wires formed in a diamond pattern. The wires are held together by small metal loops that resemble chains, hence the name "chain link." These fences are commonly used around sports fields, schools, and industrial areas because they are durable and easy to see through.

## How does a chain link fence provide privacy?

Although chain link fences are typically associated with openness and visibility, they can still provide privacy in certain situations. The most common way to add privacy to a chain link fence is by adding slats or panels to the fence. These slats or panels can be made from various materials such as wood, vinyl, or aluminum. By adding these slats or panels, you can block out unwanted views and create a more private space.

Another way to add privacy to a chain link fence is by planting tall plants or trees along the fence line. This will help block out views and create a more secluded feeling in your yard.

## Types of materials used in chain link fences

Chain link fences can be made from various materials such as galvanized steel, vinyl-coated steel, or aluminum. Each type of material has its advantages and disadvantages.

Galvanized steel is the most common type of material used for chain link fences. It is durable, strong, and relatively inexpensive. However, over time, the zinc coating on the steel can rust, which can cause the fence to become discolored and weaken.

Vinyl-coated steel is a popular choice for chain link fences because it is resistant to rust and fading. This type of fence is also low maintenance and easy to clean. However, vinyl-coated steel is more expensive than galvanized steel.

Aluminum chain link fences are lightweight and easy to install. They do not rust or corrode like steel fences, making them a good choice for areas with high humidity or near the ocean. Aluminum fences are also more expensive than steel fences.

## How to install a chain link fence

Installing a chain link fence is a task best left to professionals. However, there are some general steps you can follow if you decide to install a chain link fence yourself:

1. Determine the perimeter of your yard and mark the location of the fence posts.
2. Dig holes for the fence posts, making sure they are deep enough and level.
3. Attach the fence posts to the ground using concrete or cement.
4. Measure and cut the chain link fence material to size.
5. Attach the chain link fence material to the fence posts using clips or ties.
6. Install any additional features such as gates or slats.

## Maintenance tips for chain link fences

Chain link fences require minimal maintenance, but there are some things you can do to keep your fence looking its best:

1. Remove any dirt or debris from the fence regularly using a garden hose or a soft brush.
2. If your fence is made of galvanized steel, apply a coat of paint or a protective coating every few years to prevent rust.
3. If your fence is made of vinyl or aluminum, no maintenance is required beyond regular cleaning.
4. Check the fence posts and concrete every few years to ensure they are still securely attached to the ground.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, chain link fences can provide privacy by adding slats or panels to the fence or by planting tall plants or trees along the fence line. Chain link fences can be made from various materials such as galvanized steel, vinyl-coated steel, or aluminum. Installing a chain link fence is best left to professionals, but there are some general steps you can follow if you decide to install one yourself. Finally, maintaining a chain link fence is relatively easy, requiring only regular cleaning and occasional maintenance.

Q:

How to add google chrome omnibox-search support for your site?

When I enter some of URLs in Google Chrome omnibox, I see message in it "Press TAB to search in $URL". For example, there are some russian sites habrahabr.ru or yandex.ru. When you press TAB you'll be able to search in that site, not in your search engine.
How to make my site to be able for it? Maybe, I need to write some special code in my site pages?

A:

Chrome usually handles this through user preferences. (via chrome://settings/searchEngines)
However, if you'd like to implement this specifically for your users, you need to add a OSD (Open Search Description) to your site.
Making usage of Google Chrome's OmniBox [TAB] Feature for/on personal website?
You then add this XML file to the root of your site, and link to it in your <head> tag:
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Stack Overflow" href="/opensearch.xml" />

Now, visitors to your page will automatically have your site's search information placed into Chrome's internal settings at chrome://settings/searchEngines.
OpenSearchDescription XML Format Example
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/">

Neural bases of rapid word learning.
Humans are unique in developing large lexicons as their communication tool; to achieve this, they are able to learn new words rapidly. However, neural bases of this rapid learning, which may be an expression of a more general cognitive mechanism likely rooted in plasticity at cellular and synaptic levels, are not yet understood. In this update, the author highlights a selection of recent studies that attempted to trace word learning in the human brain noninvasively. A number of brain areas, most notably in hippocampus and neocortex, appear to take part in word acquisition. Critically, the currently available data not only demonstrate the hippocampal role in rapid encoding followed by slow-rate consolidation of cortical word memory traces but also suggest immediate neocortical involvement in the word memory trace formation. Echoing early behavioral studies in ultra-rapid word learning, the reviewed neuroimaging experiments can be taken to suggest that our brain may effectively form new cortical circuits online, as it gets exposed to novel linguistic patterns in the sensory input.

textbook:
Lesson: Neural Bases of Rapid Word Learning

Introduction:
Humans are unique in their ability to develop large lexicons as a means of communication. One aspect of this ability is the rapid learning of new words. However, the neural bases of this rapid learning are not yet fully understood. In this lesson, we will explore recent studies that have investigated the neural mechanisms underlying rapid word learning in the human brain.

Section 1: The Hippocampus and Word Acquisition

The hippocampus is a region of the brain that plays a crucial role in memory formation. Studies have shown that the hippocampus is involved in the rapid encoding of new words. This encoding process involves the creation of a temporary memory trace that holds the information about the new word until it can be consolidated into long-term memory. Once this consolidation has occurred, the memory trace moves from the hippocampus to the neocortex.

Section 2: The Neocortex and Word Memory Traces

The neocortex is another region of the brain that is involved in word learning. Specifically, the neocortex is responsible for the formation of long-term word memory traces. These traces are created through a process called synaptic plasticity, which involves changes in the strength of connections between neurons. The neocortex is thought to be involved in both the immediate and long-term aspects of word learning.

Section 3: Ultra-Rapid Word Learning

Some studies have suggested that humans are capable of ultra-rapid word learning, meaning that they can learn new words in a matter of milliseconds. This ability is thought to involve the interaction of both the hippocampus and the neocortex. One hypothesis is that the hippocampus creates a temporary memory trace of the new word, while the neocortex immediately begins to form a long-term memory trace.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, recent studies have provided evidence for the involvement of both the hippocampus and the neocortex in rapid word learning. The hippocampus is responsible for the initial encoding of new words, while the neocortex is responsible for the formation of long-term word memory traces. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying rapid word learning could help us to better understand how humans learn and communicate with one another.

Glossary:
- Hippocampus: a region of the brain that is involved in memory formation
- Neocortex: the outer layer of the cerebral cortex, involved in higher cognitive functions such as sensory perception, reasoning, and decision-making
- Synaptic plasticity: the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, which is thought to underlie learning and memory processes
- Ultra-rapid word learning: the ability to learn new words in a matter of milliseconds

Self-Debate Discussion:
How might understanding the neural mechanisms underlying rapid word learning impact our understanding of human communication and language development? Could this knowledge be used to improve language learning strategies or interventions for individuals with language disorders?

Approximatively 30 youth advocates and adult allies from all across the province met in Toronto last week to discuss the barriers that youth are facing in their communities at Re:Action4Inclusion’sSummer Institute.

Re:Action4Inclusion is a youth-led initiative that empowers youth, with and without a disability, to make our schools and communities more inclusive spaces.

At this year’s Summer Institute, the Re:Action4Inclusion movement invited youth from other social justice movements to join them and participate in a knowledge exchange event. Attendees came from a diverse number of grassroots advocacy groups, including the Youth Social Infrastructure Collaborative, R.I.S.E. and 4R’s. Youth and adult allies from the Durham Youth Council, the Markham Youth Council, as well as Volunteer Markham were also present.

The intent of the event was to create space for youth leaders from the Re:Action4Inclusion movement to be in conversation with other youth leaders of social justice movements about inclusion. It was an opportunity to learn of each other’s work and in particular for young people of other movements, who are conscious of barriers faced by minority groups, to hear from youth who have an intellectual disability.

Through this conversation, this diverse collective of youth activists and their adult allies recognized that there is a shared experience among the youth whom their movements represent that experience barriers limiting their potential and their ability to be active citizens in their communities.

On July 6th, Dr. Andrew Campbell presented the keynote address at the Re:Action4Inclusion Summer Institute in Toronto. Campbell, an educator, professor and speaker who received his PhD in Educational Leadership, Diversity and Policy from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, spoke to everyone about the need to be deliberate and authentic in one’s advocacy and inclusion efforts.

“We can’t be pretentious about inclusion. The friendships that we build must always be genuine. They can’t be the product of us making charitable efforts to make ourselves feel good.”

Campbell cautioned attendees against adhering to a checkbox model approach to advocacy, which refers to a tokenism by which advocates see people as a box to check off on their diversity list, rather than people who have something to offer an organization or community.

Linda White, Manager of Youth and Family Projects at Community Living Ontario, reflected this sentiment, adding “Inclusion isn’t just about being nice, rather it’s about seeing the value in people. When we see the value in people we come to expect contributions from them.”

Conference attendee and youth, Morgan Brontmire, has been practising this approach to advocacy over the past two years through the work of her Community Change Project. Her advice for fostering greater inclusion is that allies should not try to be a voice for people who have an intellectual disability, but rather an ally’s role is to support a person to use their own voice to advocate for themselves.

Campbell concluded his address by providing attendees with a number of potential strategies to employ when seeking to foster greater inclusion within our communities.

“What I’m giving you here today are the tools to realize that you have power, and that you can use that power to make a difference in the lives of others.”

These tools included an overview of how to engage in courageous conversations, how to effectively communicate that one size does not fit all and a willingness to always participate in professional development and personal growth initiatives.

During the latter half of the conference, participants explored potential opportunities for future collaboration between movements through a graphically-facilitated mapping session. Through that process, youth participants shared how their lived experience has motivated them to become active in a social justice movement. The group also discussed conceptions of what citizenship entails, various reforms that need to be implemented at the individual and systemic levels, and identified collective and individual strengths within the group.

Re:Action4Inclusion will be holding its annual conference for youth from October 20th to 22nd at YMCA Geneva Park in Orillia. The theme of this year’s conference is Youth: Be Artists of People. Stay tuned for additional information! Registration details can be found on Re:Action4Inclusion’s website.

Lesson Title: Social Justice Movements and Inclusive Spaces

Introduction:
Social justice movements aim to create equal opportunities and rights for everyone regardless of their background or abilities. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of inclusive spaces and how different social justice movements work together to create change.

Section 1: What is Social Justice?
- Social justice refers to the fair treatment of individuals and groups based on their personal characteristics such as race, gender, age, and ability.
- It aims to ensure that everyone has access to the same opportunities and resources regardless of their background.

Section 2: Why are Inclusive Spaces Important?
- Inclusive spaces are essential because they allow people from different backgrounds and abilities to come together and share their experiences.
- When spaces are not inclusive, certain groups may feel excluded or uncomfortable, which can lead to tension and conflict.

Section 3: How do Social Justice Movements Work Together?
- Different social justice movements may have different goals, but they often work together to create change.
- For example, the Black Lives Matter movement works towards ending police brutality and systemic racism, while the Disability Rights movement works towards ensuring that people with disabilities have equal rights and opportunities.

Section 4: The Re:Action4Inclusion Movement
- Re:Action4Inclusion is a youth-led initiative that empowers youth, with and without a disability, to make our schools and communities more inclusive spaces.
- They host an annual Summer Institute where youth leaders from different social justice movements can come together and share their experiences and ideas.

Conclusion:

Good questions......let me add a few.....why do doctor's admit patients inapporiately just because Tele is the only bed available, why do doctor's put a patient on a ventilator when the patient is a DNR, why doesn't my hosptial have a respiratory therapist when we admit ventilated patients...why don't we have a radiologist 24/7 in house....why does the staffing department only work 0600 - 1500....why do all assessments from other health care fields have to be done while I am assessing my patient or trying to give them a bath or change their dressing...why is it I have to drop everything I am doing to go answer a phone...and here I am going on to another day shift...why .....because I like what I do...hope your day gets better Dr.......cheers

I’m guessing that these things bother you because you are a caring, empathetic human being who always tries his best to treat people with respect and dignity. Unfortunately, most of the world doesn’t operate that way, and it grinds you down. Please, don’t change. We need compassionate people in health care. Don’t let the bad guys get you down.

That makes me think that you probably did write that post from your heart - I was hoping it was a cut and paste ...

You know, I sometimes wonder why physicians go into medicine at all. It's got to be one of the most demanding, thankless and unforgiving of all professions ... you're not allowed to be human ... have bad days ... be tired ... be in a bad mood ... have a head ache ... have a personal life ... or ... make a mistake.

Please hang in there. You know ... you will always have the satisfaction of knowing that you're doing something good ... and through the fatigue and the fog of putting one foot in front of the other, day after day, you'll still be able to feel good about yourself.

No, it's not enough ...

... so ...

... blog your little heart out, and we'll all be here to listen, and do our best to support you - and each other.

Sounds like a pretty tough call night, Dr. A. That your post went up at 3:30 a.m. says something about the state of mind it put you in, too. Your frustrations reveal what a caring human being you are, and (from what I can tell through your writing) a sensitive and intelligent physician. All the bureaucratic (sp?) BS in hospitals can surely make it hard to remember why we went into medicine in the first place. Sometimes I wish I were a simple healer in an earlier time.

If you don't have some vacation time coming up soon, then I hope the support of your blogging community is a comfort to you. I think most of us are of like mind...

You're a very considerate and intelligent doctor, who hopefully one day will be in a position of power to change some of these things...don't let the "blob" swallow you up and spit out a mechanical version of you! Stick to your guns, and stand firm!! I would rather IT changed, than YOU with all of your good qualities.

We have to accept the reality that no one else can really give you all the answers and that you must come to your own decisions to accept or refuse, do or not do what you think is the right answer. Easier said than done! Still, these questions are some of the wonderful challenges we face every day in our practice. In addition it's quite pleasant to grumble and blow steam off every so often to let the world know of your troubles!

Think you should have hung out at the Hawaiian BA meeting a little longer, Dr. A!Sounds like you had a rough night on call and it impacts you more because you are a caring and considerate doctor. I hope a good night sleep puts a fresh face on things.

Oh, um...er....I'm sorry that I'm one who has called their physician for medication refills - although not 5 minutes before the office closes and I'm always very aware of the fact that just because I called for it at a certain time doesn't mean it will happen that day. However, I do feel guilty for my occasional "poor planning." I guess my only excuse (and it is, afterall, an excuse) is that with the number of medications I'm on and the fact that some have to be filled every month while others have a 3 month supply, sometimes it is very difficult for me to keep track of what needs to be refilled when! But since you brought it up, I apologize to you in the hopes that my apology will carry over to all physicians I've ever done this to!

textbook: e take a break from the chaos of the world and focus on what we can control. We can strive to be better versions of ourselves every day, even if it feels like an uphill battle. We can try to make a positive impact on the lives of those around us, even if it’s just a small act of kindness. We can find solace in the little things that bring us joy, like spending time with loved ones or pursuing our passions. And we can remember that we are not alone in our struggles, and that there are others out there who share our pain and frustrations. So let’s keep pushing forward, one step at a time, and never forget that we are stronger than we think.

Lesson: Introduction to International Health Security and Technologies (IHST)

#### Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the International Health Security and Technologies (IHST), its history, and its role in global health security. We will also explore the different organizations and initiatives related to IHST and their goals.

#### Section 2: What is IHST?
IHST is an international partnership that aims to improve global health security by promoting the development, distribution, and use of health technologies. It was established in response to the growing threat of infectious diseases and other health challenges that transcend national borders. The IHST brings together governments, non-governmental organizations, private sector companies, and academic institutions to work towards a common goal.

#### Section 3: History and Evolution of IHST
The concept of IHST can be traced back to the early 2000s when the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the need for a coordinated global effort to address emerging infectious diseases. In 2003, the WHO launched the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) to facilitate the sharing of information and resources among countries experiencing disease outbreaks. This was followed by the establishment of the Global Health Security Initiative (GHSI) in 2004, which aimed to strengthen the capacity of countries to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats.

In 2008, the United States launched the International Health Security and Technologies (IHST) initiative, which built on the work of GOARN and GHSI. The IHST brought together multiple stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, private sector companies, and academia, to work towards a common goal of improving global health security. Since then, the IHST has grown to include several organizations and initiatives, such as the Joint Health Security Assessment Team (JHSAT), Joint Health Security Information Technology (JHSIT), and Joint Health Intelligence Management Data Analysis Team (JHIMDAT).

#### Section 4: Organizations and Initiatives Related to IHST
There are several organizations and initiatives related to IHST, each with its own specific goals and objectives. Some of these include:

1. Joint Health Security Assessment Team (JHSAT): The JHSAT is responsible for conducting assessments of health security capabilities in countries around the world. These assessments help identify gaps in capacity and provide recommendations for strengthening health security.

2. Joint Health Security Information Technology (JHSIT): The JHSIT is responsible for developing and implementing health security-related information technology systems. These systems help facilitate the sharing of information and resources among countries and organizations involved in health security efforts.

3. Joint Health Intelligence Management Data Analysis Team (JHIMDAT): The JHIMDAT is responsible for analyzing intelligence data related to health security threats. This information is used to inform decision-making and guide health security efforts.

#### Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, the IHST is an important international partnership that aims to improve global health security by promoting the development, distribution, and use of health technologies. Through the work of organizations like the JHSAT, JHSIT, and JHIMDAT, the IHST is helping to strengthen health security capacities around the world and respond to emerging health challenges. By understanding the history and goals of the IHST, we can appreciate the importance of international collaboration in addressing global health security threats.

Mondale's impact on our civic life was just as important, and in some ways more meaningful, than those who did sit at the desk in the Oval Office. This means that his values and actions had a significant impact on our society, even though he didn't hold one of the most powerful positions in the government. His values of decency and thinking of others first can make a difference in the world by creating a more compassionate and caring society.

Section 3: Applying the Values of Decency and Thinking of Others First
We can apply the values of decency and thinking of others first in our daily lives by being kind and considerate to those around us. We can also volunteer our time and resources to help those in need. By doing so, we can create a positive impact on our community and the world.

Lesson: Building Trust in Business Partnerships

Introduction:
Building trust in business partnerships is crucial for the success of any business. Trust is the foundation of all relationships, including business partnerships. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of trust in business partnerships, how to establish trust, and how to maintain it.

Section 1: Importance of Trust in Business Partnerships

Topic 1: Trust is the Foundation of All Relationships
Trust is the foundation of all relationships, including business partnerships. Without trust, there can be no relationship. Trust is the glue that holds partnerships together. It is the confidence that one partner has in the other partner's intentions and abilities.

Trust is essential in building credibility. When partners trust each other, they are more likely to believe in each other's capabilities and intentions. This credibility helps build a strong foundation for the partnership.

Topic 3: Trust Reduces Conflict
Trust reduces conflict in business partnerships. Partners who trust each other are more likely to communicate openly and honestly, which helps prevent misunderstandings and conflicts.

Section 2: How to Establish Trust in Business Partnerships

Topic 1: Communicate Openly and Honestly
Communication is key to establishing trust in business partnerships. Partners must communicate openly and honestly with each other. They should share information freely and transparently, avoiding secrecy or deception.

Topic 2: Deliver on Promises
Partners who deliver on their promises build trust. They must keep their word and follow through on commitments. This builds credibility and establishes trust.

Topic 3: Be Transparent
Transparency is essential in establishing trust in business partnerships. Partners should be open about their intentions, goals, and processes. They should share information freely and willingly, avoiding secrecy or deception.

Section 3: How to Maintain Trust in Business Partnerships

Topic 1: Keep Communication Open
To maintain trust in business partnerships, partners must keep communication open. They should continue to share information freely and transparently, avoiding secrecy or deception.

Topic 2: Deliver on Promises Consistently
Partners who consistently deliver on their promises maintain trust. They should keep their word and follow through on commitments consistently.

Topic 3: Address Conflicts Quickly and Honestly
Conflicts are inevitable in business partnerships. To maintain trust, partners must address conflicts quickly and honestly. They should communicate openly and transparently, avoiding blame or defensiveness.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, trust is the foundation of all business partnerships. Partners who establish and maintain trust build a strong foundation for their partnership. They communicate openly and honestly, deliver on their promises, and address conflicts quickly and honestly. By following these guidelines, partners can build trust and maintain it for a successful and long-lasting partnership.

Glossary:
- Trust: Confidence in another person's reliability, integrity, or ability
- Credibility: The quality of being trustworthy, reliable, or believable
- Conflict: A disagreement or clash between two or more parties
