Academic affiliated training centers in humanitarian health, Part I: program characteristics and professionalization preferences of centers in North America.
The collaborative London based non-governmental organization network ELRHA (Enhancing Learning and Research for Humanitarian Assistance) supports partnerships between higher education institutions and humanitarian organizations worldwide with the objective to enhance the professionalization of the humanitarian sector. While coordination and control of the humanitarian sector has plagued the response to every major crisis, concerns highlighted by the 2010 Haitian earthquake response further catalyzed and accelerated the need to ensure competency-based professionalization of the humanitarian health care work force. The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative sponsored an independent survey of established academically affiliated training centers in North America that train humanitarian health care workers to determine their individual training center characteristics and preferences in the potential professionalization process. The survey revealed that a common thread of profession-specific skills and core humanitarian competencies were being offered in both residential and online programs with additional programs offering opportunities for field simulation experiences and more advanced degree programs. This study supports the potential for the development of like-minded academic affiliated and competency-based humanitarian health programs to organize themselves under ELRHA's regional "consultation hubs" worldwide that can assist and advocate for improved education and training opportunities in less served developing countries.

Lesson: Debate Analysis and Political Strategies

## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about debate analysis and political strategies. We will analyze the CNN Evening News for Wednesday, Oct 19, 2011, and learn about the opinions of political commentators Gloria Borger, James Carville, and Erick Erickson about the presidential debate. We will also learn about the importance of debates in politics and how they can influence the outcome of an election.

## Section 2: Debate Analysis
Debates are an important part of the political process. They allow candidates to present their ideas and opinions to the public and to respond to their opponents' arguments. In this section, we will learn about the different strategies that candidates use during debates and how commentators analyze these strategies.

### Subsection A: Importance of Debates
Debates are important because they allow voters to see the candidates in action and to judge their abilities to be president. Debates give candidates the opportunity to present their ideas and opinions to the public and to respond to their opponents' arguments.

### Subsection B: Strategies Used During Debates
Candidates use different strategies during debates to try to win over voters. Some candidates use attack ads to try to damage their opponents' reputations. Other candidates use positive ads to try to portray themselves as the best candidate for the job. Still other candidates use policy proposals to try to show voters that they have the best ideas for solving the country's problems.

### Subsection C: Analysis of Commentators' Opinions
In the CNN Evening News for Wednesday, Oct 19, 2011, political commentators Gloria Borger, James Carville, and Erick Erickson shared their opinions about the presidential debate. Gloria Borger noted that only Rick Perry and Mitt Romney had a chance to become the Republican nominee, while Herman Cain had no chance. James Carville said that the Obama team was focusing on Romney. Erick Erickson praised Perry when he went off-script and said that voters were looking for an alternative to Romney. He also said that Perry had to grow on the campaign trail and commented on the flat tax plans.

## Section 3: Political Strategies
In this section, we will learn about different political strategies that candidates use to try to win elections. We will also learn about the importance of messaging and how it can influence voters' opinions.

### Subsection A: Messaging
Messaging is important because it allows candidates to communicate their ideas and values to voters. Messaging can take many forms, including speeches, advertisements, and social media posts. Candidates use messaging to try to persuade voters to support them and to convince them that they are the best candidate for the job.

### Subsection B: Targeted Messaging
Targeted messaging is a strategy where candidates tailor their messages to specific groups of voters. For example, a candidate might use different messaging to appeal to conservative voters than to liberal voters. Targeted messaging can be very effective because it allows candidates to connect with specific groups of voters and to build coalitions of support.

### Subsection C: Negative Messaging
Negative messaging is a strategy where candidates try to damage their opponents' reputations. This can involve attack ads or negative speeches. Negative messaging can be effective because it can influence voters' opinions of candidates and can create doubt in their minds. However, it can also backfire if voters perceive the negativity as desperate or unfair.

## Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, debates and political strategies are important parts of the political process. Debates allow candidates to present their ideas and opinions to the public and to respond to their opponents' arguments. Political strategies, such as messaging and targeted messaging, can help candidates win elections. By analyzing the opinions of political commentators and understanding the different strategies that candidates use, we can gain a better understanding of the political process and how it works.

Effect of packing material on organic matter removal efficiency in an anaerobic-aerobic baffled bioreactor.
The aim of the present work was to study the effect of packing material on the organic matter removal efficiency (OMRE) in an anaerobic-aerobic baffled bioreactor (AAB). For this purpose, two different experiments were conducted with two types of packing material: activated carbon (AC) particles and polyurethane foam (PF). The system consisted of two treatments; the first one was anaerobic, where hydrolysis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis took place. In anaerobic chambers, there were no packing materials and the operating conditions were the same in both experiments. The second treatment was aerobic and both materials were placed at different times as a bedding. The parameters measured were chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved chemical oxygen demand (CODd), total organic carbon (TOC), nitrate concentration (NO3-), ammonium concentration (NH4+), electric conductivity (σ), alkalinity (Alky) and hydrogen potential (pH). Paired t-Student test showed that there was no significant difference in the OMRE in anaerobic treatment, whereas there was in aerobic treatment, due to the effect of packing material. NH4+ and NO3- showed a negative Pearson correlation in both experiments, indicating the presence of the nitrification process in the aerobic chamber. AAB packed with PF had better performance at obtaining an OMRE of around 63%, whereas AAB packed with AC presented an OMRE of around 51%.

text: I really like the idea of writing things off line and then posting them a day or so later… when I’ve had a chance to cool down or cheer up. I wrote something a little while back that was just so “Woe is me” I felt like giving myself a good kick up the bum. Thankfully, the internet wasn’t working so it never saw the light of day.. So reading back through this article “Adventures with the Beecks” I wrote for Resonate kinda makes me cringe a little. As anyone who knows me well will testify, I don’t really like sharing the struggles… I usually keep them to myself. I’m happier talking about them once they’re done and dusted, not when they’re raw and hurting.. Then again, I guess it’s not so bad with the whole delay in publishing thing that happens. Oh bum… I was just going to say I haven’t cried in like over a week but that would be a big fat lie. I cried this morning – but about something else. I haven’t cried about stuff to do solely with living here for ages now!. Happy reading!

Lesson: Introduction to Guitar Chords and Music Theory

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about guitar chords and music theory, which are essential for playing and composing music on a guitar. We will cover the basics of chord construction, intervals, scales, and chord progressions.

**Section 1: Guitar Chords**

A guitar chord is a set of notes played simultaneously to create a harmony. Chords are represented by their root note and the intervals between the notes. There are three main types of chords: major, minor, and diminished.

**Activity:** Let's start by learning some basic chord shapes. Place your index finger on the 1st fret of the 6th string, your middle finger on the 2nd fret of the 5th string, and your ring finger on the 3rd fret of the 4th string. Strum all the strings. This is the C major chord.

**Quiz:** What is the name of the chord we just played?

Answer: C major.

**Section 2: Intervals**

Intervals are the distances between two notes in a scale. They are measured in semitones, which are the smallest units of pitch difference. There are four main types of intervals: major, minor, augmented, and diminished.

**Activity:** Play an E note on your guitar, then play another E note an octave higher. What is the interval between these two notes?

Answer: It is a perfect 5th interval.

**Section 3: Scales**

Scales are sets of notes that form the foundation of Western music. There are many different types of scales, but we will focus on major and minor scales.

**Activity:** Play a C major scale on your guitar, starting and ending on the C note.

**Quiz:** What is the formula for building a major scale?

Answer: The formula for building a major scale is W-W-H-W-W-W-H, where W represents whole steps (two notes separated by two semitones) and H represents half steps (one note separated by one semitone).

**Section 4: Chord Progressions**

Chord progressions are sequences of chords that create a sense of movement and direction in a song. There are many common chord progressions, such as the I-IV-V progression in major keys.

**Activity:** Play a C major chord, followed by an F major chord, then a G major chord. Repeat this sequence several times.

**Quiz:** What is the name of the chord progression we just played?

Answer: It is the I-IV-V progression in the key of C major.

**Glossary:**
- Root: The note that determines the name of a chord.
- Interval: The distance between two notes in a scale.
- Major scale: A scale built on a series of whole steps and half steps.
- Minor scale: A scale built on a series of whole steps, half steps, and a flat 3rd.
- Chord progression: A sequence of chords that creates a sense of movement and direction in a song.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned about guitar chords and music theory, including chord construction, intervals, scales, and chord progressions. By understanding these concepts, we can play and compose music on our guitars with greater skill and creativity.

**Self-Debate:** How can we apply what we learned in this lesson to other instruments or genres of music?

Lesson: How to Read and Analyze Reviews

Introduction:
Reviews are an essential part of our daily lives. We read reviews to learn about products, services, and experiences from others who have already tried them. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and analyze reviews effectively.

Section 1: Understanding Reviews

Topic 1: Types of Reviews
Reviews come in different forms, such as written, verbal, or visual. Written reviews can be in the form of text, images, or videos. Verbal reviews can be given through phone calls or face-to-face conversations. Visual reviews can be in the form of demonstrations or presentations.

Topic 2: Purposes of Reviews
Reviews serve different purposes, such as providing information, expressing opinions, and making recommendations. When reading a review, it is essential to understand its purpose to interpret it correctly.

Topic 3: Criteria for Evaluating Reviews
To evaluate a review, we need to consider its credibility, relevance, and reliability. Credibility refers to the reviewer's expertise or experience in the subject matter. Relevance refers to how well the review addresses the needs or interests of the target audience. Reliability refers to the accuracy and consistency of the information provided in the review.

Section 2: Reading Reviews

Topic 1: Identifying Key Points
When reading a review, we need to identify the key points that the reviewer wants to convey. These key points can be found in the headings, bolded text, or highlighted sections of the review.

Topic 2: Analyzing Arguments
Reviews often contain arguments that support the reviewer's opinions. To analyze these arguments, we need to examine the evidence provided, the logic used to connect the evidence to the opinion, and the strength of the conclusion drawn from the evidence.

Topic 3: Evaluating Evidence
Evidence is the foundation of any argument. To evaluate a review, we need to assess the quality and relevance of the evidence provided. We can do this by checking the sources cited, the date of publication, and the authority of the source.

Section 3: Writing Reviews

text: Abstract. Antibiotic resistance trajectories with different final resistance may critically depend on the first mutation, due to epistatic interactions. Here, we study the effect of mutation bias and the concentration-dependent effects on fitness of two clinically important mutations in TEM-1 b-lactamase in initiating alternative trajectories to cefotaxime resistance. We show that at low cefotaxime concentrations, the R164S mutation (a mutation of arginine to serine at position 164), which confers relatively low resistance, is competitively superior to the G238S mutation, conferring higher resistance, thus highlighting a critical influence of antibiotic concentration on long-term resistance evolution..

Lesson: Introduction to Antibiotic Resistance

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern in modern medicine. It occurs when bacteria evolve to become resistant to antibiotics that were previously effective in killing them. This can happen through various mechanisms, including mutations in the bacterial DNA, changes in gene expression, and the acquisition of resistance genes from other bacteria. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of antibiotic resistance and its implications for public health.

### Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
One example of antibiotic resistance is the development of resistance to penicillin, a commonly used antibiotic. Over time, some strains of bacteria have evolved to produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that break down penicillin, rendering it ineffective. This has led to the development of new antibiotics that are resistant to beta-lactamases, such as cephalosporins. However, even these new antibiotics are now facing resistance from some bacteria.

Another example is the development of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a type of bacteria that is resistant to several classes of antibiotics, including methicillin. MRSA is often associated with hospital-acquired infections and can be difficult to treat.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
1. Why do you think antibiotic resistance is becoming more common?
2. What can be done to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance?
3. How does the development of antibiotic resistance affect public health?

### Glossary
- Antibiotic resistance: The ability of bacteria to survive and grow in the presence of antibiotics that would normally kill them.
- Bacteria: Single-celled microorganisms that can cause infections in humans.
- Gene expression: The process by which information stored in DNA is used to produce proteins.
- Mutation: A change in the DNA sequence that can be passed on to future generations.
- Penicillin: A class of antibiotics that includes penicillin itself, amoxicillin, and others.
- Resistance genes: Genetic material that allows bacteria to resist antibiotics.
- Staphylococcus aureus: A type of bacteria that can cause skin infections, pneumonia, and other illnesses.

### Conclusion
Understanding the concept of antibiotic resistance is crucial for addressing the growing problem of drug-resistant bacteria. By learning about the mechanisms behind resistance and the implications for public health, we can better understand the importance of responsible antibiotic use and the need for continued research into new treatments.

Lesson: Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment

Introduction:
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is usually caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. This lesson will teach you about the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, including the importance of regular screenings and the role of HPV vaccination.

Section 1: Prevention

Preventing cervical cancer is much easier than treating it. There are several ways to prevent cervical cancer, including:

1. HPV vaccination: The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent infection with the types of HPV that cause most cases of cervical cancer. The vaccine is recommended for both girls and boys, usually given at age 11 or 12, but can be given as early as age 9 and up to age 26.

2. Regular screenings: Even if you are vaccinated against HPV, it’s still important to have regular cervical cancer screenings. These screenings can detect changes in the cervix before they turn into cancer, allowing for early treatment. Women should start getting Pap tests at age 21, and continue to get them every 3 years until age 29. After age 30, women can switch to a Pap test and an HPV test together, called co-testing, every 5 years.

3. Practicing safe sex: Using condoms and practicing safe sex can reduce the risk of getting HPV. However, since HPV can be transmitted even through skin-to-skin contact, it’s not 100% effective.

Section 2: Treatment

If cervical cancer is found early, it can often be treated successfully. Treatment options depend on the stage of the cancer and may include:

1. Surgery: Surgery is often used to remove as much of the cancer as possible. This may involve removing the cervix, part of the vagina, or nearby lymph nodes.

2. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. It may be used after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells or as the main treatment for early-stage cancer.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. It may be used for more advanced stages of cancer or in combination with radiation therapy.

4. Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy uses drugs that specifically target cancer cells, without harming healthy cells. This may be used for more advanced stages of cancer.

Section 3: Glossary

- HPV: Human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer.
- Pap test: A test that checks for abnormal cells on the cervix.
- HPV test: A test that checks for the presence of HPV infection.
- Co-testing: Testing for both HPV and Pap tests at the same time.
- Cervical dysplasia: Abnormal cell growth on the cervix.
- CIN: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, a precancerous condition of the cervix.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, preventing cervical cancer is much easier than treating it. Getting vaccinated against HPV and having regular screenings are the best ways to prevent cervical cancer. If cancer is found early, it can often be treated successfully. Understanding the different treatment options and their side effects can help you make an informed decision about your care. Remember, knowledge is power, and knowing how to prevent and treat cervical cancer can save lives.

I learned some coding and i still testing stuff for put it on the mod. I really like to give the best that i can made.. This was made for a test and i think, is look good, have a funcional health bar and armor bar, using some Hexen codes and help with the ZDOOM wiki. Maybe the mayor problem that this have is remplace the Fullscreen HUD, not the Normal HUD and the "Scale Factor" that need to be in 1.0. I would really like to test this mod in another Pc's with better resolutions.. I worked abit hard, and i have this result. The HUD is abit more big but now works on every 16:9 resolution, no more errors.. And i worked on the Rifle/Musket, i will publish some advances on this days about the weapon. is still a beta that can reload and use a custom ammo.. If you are interesed on be an Beta Tester, tell me on the comments of the mod, i will very glad to recive an tester and fix bugs.

Lesson: Introduction to Programming with C++

## Overview

In this lesson, we will introduce the basics of programming using the C++ language. We will cover the following topics:

1. Introduction to programming
2. Installing a C++ compiler
3. Creating and running a C++ program
4. Variables and data types
5. Control structures (if-else statements, loops)
6. Functions and recursion
7. Classes and objects
8. File handling

## Section 1: Introduction to Programming

Programming is the process of designing and creating instructions that can be executed by a computer. These instructions are written in a programming language, which is a set of rules that define how to write programs. C++ is a powerful general-purpose programming language that is widely used for developing software applications, games, and other programs.

## Section 2: Installing a C++ Compiler

To write C++ programs, you need to install a C++ compiler. A compiler is a software tool that translates your C++ code into machine-readable code that can be executed by the computer. There are many free C++ compilers available, such as Code::Blocks, Dev-C++, and Visual Studio Community Edition.

## Section 3: Creating and Running a C++ Program

Once you have installed a C++ compiler, you can create a C++ program by writing code in a text editor and saving it with a .cpp extension. To run the program, open the text editor, copy and paste the code into the editor, and click on the "Compile" button in the compiler. If the program compiles successfully, you can run it by clicking on the "Run" button.

```c++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   cout << "Hello, World!" << endl;
   return 0;
}
```

## Section 4: Variables and Data Types

In C++, variables are used to store values. A variable is a named storage location that can hold a value. There are different types of data, such as integers, floats, characters, and strings. Each type has a specific size and range of values that it can store.

```c++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   int num;
   cin >> num;

   cout << "The number is: " << num << endl;

   return 0;
}
```

## Section 5: Control Structures (if-else statements, loops)

Control structures are used to control the flow of execution of a program. They allow you to execute certain blocks of code depending on certain conditions. The two most common control structures in C++ are if-else statements and loops.

```c++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   int num;

   cout << "Enter a number: ";
   cin >> num;

   if (num % 2 == 0) {
      cout << num << " is even.";
   } else {
      cout << num << " is odd.";
   }

   return 0;
}
```

## Section 6: Functions and Recursion

Functions are blocks of code that can be reused in a program. They are used to break down a program into smaller, more manageable pieces. Recursion is a special type of function where the function calls itself until a certain condition is met.

```c++
#include <iostream>

int factorial(int n) {
   if (n == 0) {
      return 1;
   } else {
      return n * factorial(n-1);
   }
}

int main() {
   int num;

   cout << "Enter a number: ";
   cin >> num;

   cout << "Factorial of " << num << " is " << factorial(num) << endl;

   return 0;
}
```

## Section 7: Classes and Objects

Classes and objects are used to model real-world entities in a program. A class is a blueprint for creating objects, and an object is an instance of a class. Classes can have properties (attributes) and behaviors (methods).

```c++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Student {
   private:
      string name;
      int age;

   public:
      void setName(string newName) {
         name = newName;
      }

      void setAge(int newAge) {
         age = newAge;
      }

      string getName() {
         return name;
      }

      int getAge() {
         return age;
      }
};

int main() {
   Student student;

   student.setName("John");
   student.setAge(20);

   cout << "Student name: " << student.getName() << endl;
   cout << "Student age: " << student.getAge() << endl;

   return 0;
}
```

## Section 8: File Handling

File handling is used to read and write data to and from a file. Files can be used to store data that can be used later in the program or to save data generated by the program.

```c++
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   ofstream file;

   file.open("data.txt");

   if (file.is_open()) {
      cout << "File opened successfully." << endl;

      file.close();
   } else {
      cout << "Failed to open file." << endl;
   }

   return 0;
}
```

Q:

Need to send a HTTP request in Python that'll authenticate with Google Accounts

I have an app which amounts to a Python script, running on the user's phone, and a JS client, running in the user's browser. The Python script sends messages to App Engine as HTTP requests. The server then pushes the messages to the JS client.
The problem is authentication: The server can easily use Google Accounts to authenticate anything coming from the JS client as being sent by a particular user, but I do not know how to get the Python script to make HTTP requests which will also authenticate.
Any ideas?

Lesson:

**Lesson Title:** Sending HTTP Requests in Python

**Grade Level:** 7-12

**Duration:** 1 hour

**Objective:** In this lesson, students will learn how to send HTTP requests in Python and understand the basics of web development.

**Introduction:**

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the standard communication protocol used by web servers and browsers to exchange data. An HTTP request is a message sent by a user agent (e.g., a web browser or a Python script) to a server, asking for a resource. In this lesson, we will learn how to send HTTP requests in Python using the built-in `requests` module and explore the basics of web development.

**Section 1: Introduction to HTTP Requests**

**Topic 1.1: What is an HTTP request?**

An HTTP request is a message sent by a user agent (e.g., a web browser or a Python script) to a server, asking for a resource. The request includes a method (e.g., GET, POST), a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), and any additional headers and data needed to complete the request.

**Topic 1.2: Types of HTTP requests**

There are several types of HTTP requests, including:

- GET: Retrieves a representation of the specified resource.
- POST: Submits data to the specified resource.
- PUT: Updates an existing resource with some data.
- DELETE: Deletes the specified resource.

**Topic 1.3: How do HTTP requests work?**

When you send an HTTP request, your browser or Python script sends the request to the server using the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) protocol. The server receives the request and responds with an HTTP response, which contains the requested resource or an error message if the request fails.

**Section 2: Sending HTTP Requests in Python**

**Topic 2.1: Installing the `requests` module**

To send HTTP requests in Python, we will use the built-in `requests` module. If you haven't already installed it, you can install it using pip:

```
pip install requests
```

**Topic 2.2: Making an HTTP GET request**

Now that we have the `requests` module installed, let's make an HTTP GET request to the Google API:

```python
import requests

url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly'
response = requests.get(url)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
```

This code sends an HTTP GET request to the Google API and prints the response status code and JSON data.

**Topic 2.3: Making other types of HTTP requests**

You can also make other types of HTTP requests using the `requests` module. For example, to make an HTTP POST request:

```python
import requests

url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart'
data = {'name': 'my_file.txt'}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
```

This code sends an HTTP POST request to the Google API with the specified data and prints the response status code and JSON data.

**Section 3: Practice**

**Exercise 3.1:** Make an HTTP GET request to the Google API and print the response data.

**Exercise 3.2:** Make an HTTP POST request to the Google API with a file attachment and print the response data.

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we learned how to send HTTP requests in Python using the built-in `requests` module. We covered the basics of web development and explored different types of HTTP requests. We also practiced making GET and POST requests to the Google API.

**Glossary:**

- HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
- User agent: A software agent that acts on behalf of a user in interacting with the web
- URL: Uniform Resource Locator
- TCP: Transmission Control Protocol
- API: Application Programming Interface

**Self-Debate:**

- Why is it important to understand HTTP requests when developing web applications?
- How does the `requests` module simplify the process of sending HTTP requests in Python?
- What are some other modules or libraries that can be used to send HTTP requests in Python?

mercy

he called me (the sweet angel) to tell me he made it back alive… they flew this time, not on the bus.

explained that the medics said that his foot was actually broken already, so this was just a re-breaking of the previous injury…

he had no idea he had broken his foot at some point… weird huh?

humans can put up with a lot.

so now he says he will only be able to try out for SF again in over a year (2010)… because he has to stay off the foot and recover for 3 months or more – and that's when the next try out is in NC…

and the rest of them leave for Germany in a few months anyway, so he'll be going there – and from there he will have 14 months deployed in Iraq again.

Stop-Loss or whatever it is.

(actually saw that there is a movie coming out called that – about soldiers etc, in Iraq – hadn't heard the phrase at all, ever, and now i've heard it twice in one day.)

but now… what do i do? i was all set to work out something to go to NC. but now what? Germany? there's even less there for me than in NC! but i HAVE to see him. i HAVE to. it's like this driving, desperate, need in me. like my heart is saying it will ALL be ok if i can just be with him. just for a moment.

i'm scared.

scared he's changed his mind about me. that he doesn't feel the same anymore.

i've had 2 weeks to stress and think – he's had 2 weeks of focus.

i'm shaking i'm so scared.

if he drops me now… my heart will break and i don't think there's any coming back after that, for me.

That's what sucks about being away from the one you care about, it gives you too much time to overthink a situation and what you're thinking about is usually based on a perception that is usually flawed in some way. My wife and I had some fairly big problems last fall and I have to stop and tell myself to stop thinking. It's not easy.

Lesson: The Importance of Communication

Introduction:
Communication is an essential part of our lives. It is the process of exchanging information, thoughts, and feelings between people. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of communication and how it can help us in various situations.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
- Communication is the foundation of all human relationships.
- It helps us express our thoughts, feelings, and needs.
- Communication can be verbal or non-verbal.
- Effective communication involves active listening and understanding.

Questions and Answers:
Q: Why is communication important?
A: Communication is important because it helps us understand others and build strong relationships.

Q: What are some examples of non-verbal communication?
A: Some examples of non-verbal communication include body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice.

Section 2: Practical Examples
- Imagine you are trying to explain to your friend how you feel when they cancel plans at the last minute.
- You could say, "I feel hurt and disappointed when you cancel plans last minute. It makes me feel like I'm not a priority."
- Your friend may respond with, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize it would affect you that way. I'll make sure to communicate better in the future."

- In this example, communication helped both friends express their feelings and come to a solution that worked for both of them.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
- A couple argues about who will take out the trash.
- By communicating effectively, they can come to a decision that works for both of them.

We will examine the various factors that influence learning, including development, memory, and cognition. By the end of this lesson, you will have a better understanding of how and why people learn in school environments and be able to apply this knowledge to improve your own learning and teaching.

**Section 1: What is Educational Psychology?**
Educational psychology is the study of human learning and behavior in educational settings. It is concerned with understanding how people learn, with what factors influence learning, and with applying this knowledge to improve teaching and learning. Educational psychologists use scientific research methods to investigate these questions and to develop theories and principles that can be applied in real-world situations.

**Section 2: Key Concepts in Educational Psychology**
There are several key concepts in educational psychology that are important for understanding how and why people learn in school environments. These include:

1. Development: This refers to the process of change and growth that occurs throughout an individual's life. It includes physical, cognitive, and social-emotional changes. Understanding developmental processes can help educators tailor their teaching methods to meet the needs of students at different stages of development.

2. Memory: Memory is the ability to encode, store, and retrieve information. Educational psychologists study how people remember information and how this process can be improved. For example, they may investigate the effects of different types of practice on long-term retention or explore strategies for improving recall.

3. Learning: Learning is the process of acquiring new knowledge, skills, or attitudes. Educational psychologists study how people learn and what factors influence this process. They may investigate the effects of different teaching methods, the role of motivation, or the impact of classroom environment on learning.

4. Cognition: Cognition refers to the mental processes involved in knowing, including perception, attention, memory, and problem-solving. Educational psychologists study how cognitive processes affect learning and how they can be improved. For example, they may investigate the effects of different types of instruction on students' ability to solve problems or understand complex concepts.

**Section 3: Applying Educational Psychology in Practice**
Educational psychology has many practical applications in the classroom. Some examples include:

1. Classroom Management: Educational psychologists can help teachers develop effective classroom management strategies that promote student engagement and reduce disruptive behavior.

2. Curriculum Design: Understanding the principles of educational psychology can help educators design curricula that are aligned with students' developmental needs and learning goals.

3. Assessment: Educational psychologists can help teachers develop reliable and valid assessments that measure student progress and inform instruction.

4. Differentiated Instruction: Educational psychologists can help teachers differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of their students, including those with special needs or learning difficulties.

**Conclusion**
Educational psychology is a fascinating field that seeks to understand how and why people learn in school environments. By studying key concepts such as development, memory, and cognition, educators can improve their teaching practices and help students achieve their full potential. By applying the principles of educational psychology, teachers can create more effective, engaging, and inclusive learning experiences for all students.


text: The first thing they look at? Your career and your job. While you may think that simply having a good job will entitle you to home loan approval, it's a bit more complicated than that. Lenders will also look at the length of time you've been with your current employer (or at least in your current field). Two years with a particular company or working in a particular field will be considered steady employment, and will help you to present yourself as a good risk. After looking into your employment history, your home loan lender will then look at how your income compares to your debts after your new mortgage payment has been added in.

textbook:
Lesson: How to Get Approved for a Home Loan

Introduction:
Getting approved for a home loan is an important part of the homebuying process. In this lesson, we will learn about the factors that lenders consider when approving a home loan and what you can do to increase your chances of approval.

Section 1: Employment History
Lenders will look at your employment history to determine if you have steady income and a stable job. The longer you have been with your current employer or in your current field, the better your chances of approval.

Questions to Ask:
- How long have you been with your current employer?
- Have you had any gaps in employment? If so, what did you do during that time?

Section 2: Debt-to-Income Ratio
Lenders will also look at your debt-to-income ratio, which is the percentage of your monthly income that goes towards paying off your debts. This includes your existing mortgage, credit card debt, and other loans. A lower debt-to-income ratio means that you are a better risk for the lender.

Questions to Ask:
- What is your current debt-to-income ratio?
- How will your new mortgage payment affect your debt-to-income ratio?

Section 3: Credit Score
Your credit score is another important factor that lenders consider when approving a home loan. A higher credit score indicates that you are responsible with your finances and are less likely to default on your loan.

Questions to Ask:
- What is your current credit score?
- What steps can you take to improve your credit score?

Conclusion:
In order to increase your chances of getting approved for a home loan, it's important to have a stable job, a low debt-to-income ratio, and a good credit score. By taking these factors into consideration, you can show lenders that you are a responsible borrower and increase your chances of approval.

Glossary:
- Debt-to-income ratio: The percentage of your monthly income that goes towards paying off your debts.
- Credit score: A number that represents your creditworthiness and is used by lenders to determine the likelihood that you will repay your debts on time.

Self-Debate Discussion:
Is it more important to have a high credit score or a stable job when applying for a home loan? Why?

Answer: Both a high credit score and a stable job are important when applying for a home loan. A high credit score indicates that you are responsible with your finances and less likely to default on your loan, while a stable job shows that you have steady income. Therefore, it's important to focus on both improving your credit score and establishing a stable job history.
