Lesson: How to Read and Understand News Articles

Introduction:
News articles are an important source of information that help us stay informed about current events and happenings around us. However, not all news articles are created equal, and some can be difficult to understand, especially if you don't know how to read them properly. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand news articles by breaking down the process into three sections: understanding the headline, reading the body of the article, and analyzing the sources.

Understanding the Headline:
The headline is the first thing you see when you read a news article, and it is meant to grab your attention and give you an idea of what the article is about. However, not all headlines are written in the same way, and some can be misleading or sensationalized. To understand the headline, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is the headline written in a way that is objective and factual, or is it sensationalized?
2. Does the headline match the content of the article?
3. Are there any keywords or phrases that indicate the type of article (e.g., opinion, analysis, investigation)?

Reading the Body of the Article:
Once you have understood the headline, move on to reading the body of the article. This is where the majority of the information is presented, and it is essential to read it carefully to understand the full context of the story. When reading the body of the article, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Who is the author of the article? Are they a credible source?
2. What is the main message or thesis of the article?
3. Are there any quotes or statements from experts or witnesses?
4. Are there any facts or statistics presented to support the claims made in the article?
5. Is the article written in an objective or subjective tone?

Analyzing the Sources:
Finally, it is essential to analyze the sources used in the article. This includes the people interviewed, the documents or data referenced, and any other sources cited. Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Are the sources credible and reliable?
2. Are there any conflicts of interest or biases that could affect the accuracy of the information presented?
3. Are there any contradictions or inconsistencies in the information presented by the sources?

Conclusion:
By following these steps, you can improve your ability to read and understand news articles. Remember to always question the information presented and think critically about the sources used. With practice, you will become a better-informed reader who can make sense of the complex world of news and current events.

Shark cage diving in Bluff

By: Justin Bennett, Photography by: Justin Bennett

Date: 12.02.2017

MCD's digital content manager Justin Bennett heads down south to Bluff to swim with sharks

When most people think of Bluff, their conceptions revolve around the much sought-after oysters considered to be the best in the world or as the most historic and southern most port town in New Zealand.

What many people might not know is that it’s one of the world’s hotspots for great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias)—the world’s largest predatory fish, reaching up to six meters in length. Every year, great whites migrate here from the tropics around spring and tend to hang around Stewart Island until the winter months before setting back off on their journey to warmer shores. The local Department of Conservation estimated there could be more than 120 individual animals in the area off the northern Titi Islands, and that’s why I headed there, to see them up close and personal.

When Jaws burst onto the movie screens in 1975, the film shocked audiences with a terrifying monster, making them the most feared creatures of the sea to both sailors and sea inhabitants alike. Now, more than 40 years on, their population has been decimated partly due to the frightening and false ideas the film helped spread about them that has led to these predators being hunted worldwide. But not for me.

I’ve always had a fascination with sharks. They are awesome yet often misunderstood creatures, and shark cage diving became one of those bucket list items. My first cage dive was a more timid affair when I visited the aquarium of Kelly Tarlton’s. This only sparked my interest in getting out in the wild and seeing great white sharks in their natural habitat, so when the opportunity arose, it’s safe to say I jumped right in.

Shark Experience—the local DOC-approved operator I went with—has been operating in the region for more than 26 years and has a 100 percent safety record. Dive instructor Mike Haines was extremely helpful on the lead-up and was the skipper who took us out for this unforgettable day. With a distance of more than 1800km, getting to Bluff from Auckland was no quick task. I flew to Dunedin and hired a car for the remaining 230km journey. This is a great option to save some extra money on a flight into Invercargill, not to mention being able to enjoy the countryside of Southland along the way.

Upon arrival, I checked out the iconic Sterling Point signpost, grabbed some dinner, checked out the view from the top of Bluff Hill, and headed to the hotel to prepare myself for what lied ahead.

Although I’ve never suffered from motion sickness before, I had picked up some Sea Legs after following suggestions online. After all, you can never be too prepared for a choppy sea. The next morning, I awoke bright and early to blue skies and headed along to our meeting point at 7am, was checked in promptly, and walked over to the harbour where Mike and his crew pulled up in their boat—the Southern Isle—fittingly covered in shark prints.

We had a wide range of thrill-seekers along for the trip; a diverse age group of shark lovers, all keen to get up and close with these wild animals. There was excitement in the air. We were given a safety briefing before setting sail across the bumpy ocean to Stewart Island to pick up more passengers.

We moored up just off Titi Islands and were given a brief introduction to scuba by one of the crew members. Everyone got their wetsuits on, the cage was lowered, some chum (ground up fish) was tossed into the ocean, and then the wait began.

Sharks have an incredibly acute sense of smell that allows them to detect potential prey from great distances, so it was only a matter of time before something showed up. In the distance, a black figure emerged from the depths. Was it a shark? Not this time, but seeing a seal make a dash towards the island surely had to be a good sign.

Suddenly, we spotted our first great white. This large creature swam up inquisitively as the first divers rushed into the tank to have a look. Those left on the boat moved to the side with their cameras eager to make the most of the opportunity but just as quickly as the shark had appeared, it swam off into the distance and the water became eerily still again. After some time, it was my turn, and I was called to descend into the cage and slowly make my way down the ladder into the big blue. Initially, the water might be chilly but that quickly disappears when the adrenaline kicks in and you’re faced with the open water ahead of you and a sign that tells you to keep your body parts within the cage at all times. I locked my feet into the foot strap to try and prevent turbulence and looked out straight ahead of me as a tuna-head on a rope was thrown out to entice any hidden visitors out to play.

There you wait with anticipation. The odd fish appears and swims off raising expectations of what’s really going on, and then out of nowhere, a great white appears and your pulse rate spikes. It must have been four to five metres long, and there’s nothing you can do butlook ahead in awe; those big black eyes stare back at you and the teeth are on full display.

Over the course of the day, we enjoyed another three to four visitors. On the deck, lunch, snacks, and hot drinks were provided before we wrapped up and headed back to the shore. Most of the divers fell asleep, satisfied and most likely dreaming of the sharks they had encountered earlier. Mike and his team kept the group upbeat and spread their knowledge about sharks, the local area, and their obvious passion for the conservation and protection of the great white sharks.

For many, this is a bucket list item, and with good reason, it is one of those experiences that can’t be matched and something that will stay with you for years to come. If you ever find yourself in the region or in need of an adrenaline rush, you can’t beat it.

I’d like to thank Mike and the fantastic team at Shark Experience NZ for their professionalism in giving everyone memories that will last a lifetime.

Lesson: Introduction to Statistical Analysis

### Section 1: Theory

Statistical analysis is the process of collecting, organizing, and interpreting data to make informed decisions based on evidence. It involves using mathematical models to describe and analyze relationships between variables, identify patterns or trends, and test hypotheses.

### Section 2: Practice

**Question:** Suppose you are given a dataset containing the heights of 50 people. You want to determine if there is a significant difference in height between males and females.

**Answer:** To determine if there is a significant difference in height between males and females, you would perform a t-test. The t-test compares the means of two groups (males and females) to see if they are significantly different from each other. If the p-value (the probability of obtaining the observed results by chance) is less than 0.05, then you can conclude that there is a significant difference in height between males and females.

**Example:** Let's say the mean height of males is 175 cm and the mean height of females is 160 cm. The standard deviation for males is 10 cm and for females is 8 cm. Using these values, we can calculate the t-statistic and the degrees of freedom. If the t-statistic is greater than the critical value, we can reject the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in height between males and females.

### Section 3: Application

**Question:** How can statistical analysis be used in everyday life?

**Answer:** Statistical analysis can be used in everyday life to make informed decisions based on evidence. For example, a company may use statistical analysis to determine which marketing strategy is most effective in selling their product. A sports team may use statistical analysis to determine which players are most likely to score points. A person may use statistical analysis to determine which diet is most effective for weight loss.

### Glossary
- Hypothesis: A tentative explanation or prediction that can be tested through experimentation or observation.
- P-value: The probability of obtaining the observed results by chance.
- Standard deviation: A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of data values.
- T-test: A statistical test that compares the means of two groups to see if there is a significant difference between them.

### Conclusion

Statistical analysis is a powerful tool that can be used to make informed decisions based on evidence. By understanding the theory, practicing the techniques, and applying them to real-life situations, you can gain valuable insights and make better decisions.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Kites and Kite Flying

**Objective:** This lesson will introduce students to the basics of kites and kite flying. Students will learn about the parts of a kite, how to assemble a kite, and the different types of kites. They will also learn about the history of kites and their cultural significance.

**Section 1: Introduction**

Kites are flying objects that are designed to fly in the air. They come in many shapes and sizes, and are made of different materials. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic parts of a kite, how to assemble one, and the different types of kites.

**Section 2: Parts of a Kite**

A kite consists of several parts that work together to make it fly. These parts include:

- Sail: The sail is the main part of the kite that provides lift. It is usually made of lightweight material such as paper or fabric.
- Spine: The spine is a long, thin piece of wood or plastic that runs along the center of the sail. It helps to keep the sail flat and provides support.
- Frame: The frame is made up of two or more pieces of wood or plastic that form the shape of the kite. The frame holds the sail in place and provides stability.
- Bridle: The bridle is a piece of string or wire that connects the leading edge of the sail to the control lines. It helps to steer the kite.
- Control lines: The control lines are used to control the direction and speed of the kite. They are attached to the back of the sail and run through the bridle to the handle.

Locomotor activity in spinal cord-injured persons.
After a spinal cord injury (SCI) of the cat or rat, neuronal centers below the level of lesion exhibit plasticity that can be exploited by specific training paradigms. In individuals with complete or incomplete SCI, human spinal locomotor centers can be activated and modulated by locomotor training (facilitating stepping movements of the legs using body weight support on a treadmill to provide appropriate sensory cues). Individuals with incomplete SCI benefit from locomotor training such that they improve their ability to walk over ground. Load- or hip joint-related afferent input seems to be of crucial importance for both the generation of a locomotor pattern and the effectiveness of the training. However, it may be a critical combination of afferent signals that is needed to generate a locomotor pattern after severe SCI. Mobility of individuals after a SCI can be improved by taking advantage of the plasticity of the central nervous system and can be maintained with persistent locomotor activity. In the future, if regeneration approaches can successfully be applied in human SCI, even individuals with complete SCI may recover walking ability with locomotor training.

Lesson Title: Locomotor Activity and Spinal Cord Injuries

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about locomotor activity and how it is affected by spinal cord injuries. We will explore the changes that occur in the central nervous system after a spinal cord injury and how these changes can be exploited to improve mobility.

Section 1: Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

What is a spinal cord injury?
A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that affects its function, either by reducing or abolishing its ability to transmit signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

Why does a spinal cord injury affect locomotor activity?
The spinal cord is responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the body, including those that control movement. When there is damage to the spinal cord, these signals may be disrupted, leading to a loss of motor function, including the ability to walk.

Section 2: Plasticity and Locomotor Training

What is plasticity?
Plasticity refers to the ability of the brain and nervous system to change and adapt in response to new experiences and stimuli.

How does plasticity help in locomotor training?
After a spinal cord injury, certain areas of the brain and spinal cord may become more plastic, meaning they can change and adapt more easily. This plasticity can be exploited by specific training paradigms, such as locomotor training, which involves facilitating stepping movements of the legs using body weight support on a treadmill to provide appropriate sensory cues.

Section 3: Locomotor Training for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injuries

Who can benefit from locomotor training?
Individuals with complete or incomplete spinal cord injuries can benefit from locomotor training.

What are the benefits of locomotor training?
Locomotor training can improve an individual's ability to walk over ground and has been shown to be particularly effective for those with incomplete spinal cord injuries.

Section 4: The Importance of Afferent Input

What is afferent input?
Afferent input refers to the sensory information that is sent from the body to the brain.

Why is afferent input important for locomotor training?
Load- or hip joint-related afferent input seems to be of crucial importance for both the generation of a locomotor pattern and the effectiveness of the training. It may be a critical combination of afferent signals that is needed to generate a locomotor pattern after severe SCI.

Section 5: Conclusion

What have we learned?
We have learned that locomotor activity can be affected by spinal cord injuries, but that plasticity in the central nervous system can be exploited to improve mobility. Locomotor training can be particularly effective for individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries, and the importance of afferent input should be taken into consideration when designing training programs.

How can we apply this knowledge to new problems?
Understanding the role of plasticity and afferent input in locomotor training can help us develop more effective interventions for individuals with spinal cord injuries. By taking advantage of the plasticity of the central nervous system, we can potentially improve the mobility of individuals with spinal cord injuries and enhance their quality of life.

The Justice Department recently created a national task force to look at violence and its impact on American Indian and Alaska native children. In one of the broadest studies done on the topic, officials are alarmed to find high suicide rates among teens, which are more than three times the national average, and 10 times on some reservations.

Some task force officials consider this an outcome of what they call "pervasive despair." In a thorough Washington Post report on the subject by Sari Horwitz, Theresa M. Pouley, the chief judge of the Tulalip Tribal Court in Washington state and a member of the Indian Law and Order Commission, lists many disadvantages that she sees for tribal youths.

One quarter of Indian children live in poverty, she says, versus 13 percent nationwide. Their substance-abuse rates are higher, and they are twice as likely as other races to die before the age of 24, and they have two times the rate of abuse and neglect.

The trauma spans generations, according to Sarah Kastelic, deputy director of the National Indian Child Welfare Association, who spoke at the first hearing of the task force. Experts call this “historical trauma.”

Historical trauma for native children began when the federal government tried to assimilate tribes by forcibly placing children in boarding schools far from their homes and families, where those children were isolated and often victim to widespread sexual, emotional and physical abuse. Hundreds of thousands of children were sent to these boarding schools from the late 1800s until the schools finally closed in the 1970s.

Previously, teen suicide was virtually unheard of among tribes when traditional child-rearing fluorished and the community provided a safeguard, Kastelic told the Post.

“Child maltreatment was rarely a problem,” said Kastelic, a member of the native village of Ouzinkie in Alaska, “because of these traditional beliefs and a natural safety net.”

For the time being, the task force is gathering information and listening to tribal leaders around the country, and will not make a final recommendations on ways to address violence and suicide until the fall.

“We know that the road to involvement in the juvenile justice system is often paved by experiences of victimization and trauma,” member of the task force and Associate Attorney General Tony West told the Washington Post. “We have a lot of work to do. There are too many young people in Indian country who don’t see a future for themselves, who have lost all hope.”

Lane Anderson writes about causes for the national editionincluding issues such as poverty, hunger, and social inequality. She lives in New York City, where she has taught at Columbia University and Yeshiva University. more ..

Lesson: Introduction to Statistics for Primary School Students

### Section 1: What is Statistics?
Statistics is the study of how we collect, organize, analyze, interpret, and present data. It helps us make sense of the world around us by looking at patterns and relationships in data.

### Section 2: Why is Statistics Important?
Statistics is important because it helps us answer questions about the world around us. For example, how many people like pizza? Or what is the most popular color? By collecting and analyzing data, we can learn about the world and make informed decisions.

### Section 3: How do we Collect Data?
There are many ways to collect data, including surveys, observations, and experiments. Surveys involve asking people questions and recording their responses. Observations involve watching and recording what happens without asking people questions. Experiments involve changing something and observing what happens as a result.

### Section 4: How do we Organize Data?
Once we have collected data, we need to organize it so we can analyze it. We can use tables, charts, and graphs to organize data. Tables are used to show data in rows and columns. Charts are used to show data visually, such as in a bar graph or pie chart. Graphs are used to show data over time, such as in a line graph.

### Section 5: How do we Analyze Data?
After we have organized our data, we can start to analyze it. This involves using mathematical techniques to summarize and describe the data. For example, we can calculate measures of central tendency, such as the mean, median, and mode, to describe the average, middle, and most common values in a dataset. We can also use measures of variability, such as the range and standard deviation, to describe how spread out the values are.

### Section 6: How do we Interpret Data?
Once we have analyzed our data, we can start to interpret it. This involves looking for patterns and relationships in the data. For example, we can look for trends over time or differences between groups. We can also use statistical tests to determine if our results are significant or if they could have happened by chance.

### Section 7: How do we Present Data?
Finally, after we have interpreted our data, we can present it to others. This involves creating visual displays, such as tables, charts, and graphs, that clearly communicate our findings. We can also use written reports and oral presentations to explain our results and their implications.

### Glossary:
- Data: Information that is collected and used to answer questions.

Q:

Is a Windows service a good place to store and expose encrypted keys for a web server app?

Windows service a good place to store and expose encrypted keys for a web server app?
Thanks!

A:

No it isn't.
For encryption related keys you should look to a service like Azure Key Vault to store them.
For more regular stuff like IDs and secrets used to access online services (like APIs) you can simply store the secrets as a slot setting on your web app (that way your secret doesn't have to be persisted in source control with the rest of the app's code and configuration).

## Lesson: Encryption and Secure Key Storage

### Introduction
Encryption is the process of converting plain text into ciphertext to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. Keys are used to encrypt and decrypt data. Storing and exposing encrypted keys securely is crucial to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data. In this lesson, we will explore the best practices for secure key storage and exposure.

### Section 1: Introduction to Encryption and Keys
Encryption is the process of converting plain text into ciphertext using an algorithm and a key. A key is a piece of information that is used to encrypt and decrypt data. There are two types of keys: public and private. Public keys are used to encrypt data, while private keys are used to decrypt it.

### Section 2: Best Practices for Secure Key Storage
Storing and exposing encrypted keys securely is crucial to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data. Here are some best practices for secure key storage:

1. Use a secure key storage solution: Instead of storing keys in your application's code or configuration files, use a secure key storage solution like Azure Key Vault. This service provides a secure, managed environment for storing encryption keys and other secrets.

2. Use strong encryption algorithms: Use strong encryption algorithms like AES-256 to encrypt your keys. This ensures that even if someone gains unauthorized access to your key storage, they won't be able to easily decrypt your data.

3. Implement key rotation: Regularly rotate your encryption keys to ensure that even if an attacker gains access to your key storage, they won't be able to use the keys indefinitely.

4. Use separate keys for different purposes: Use separate keys for different purposes, such as encryption and decryption. This helps to minimize the impact of a key compromise.

### Section 3: Exposing Encrypted Keys
Exposing encrypted keys securely is also important. Here are some best practices for secure key exposure:

1. Use HTTPS: Use HTTPS to securely transmit encrypted keys between your web server and clients. This ensures that the keys are only exposed to authorized parties.

2. Implement key authentication: Implement key authentication to ensure that only authorized parties can access the encrypted keys. This can be done by requiring clients to provide a valid key before accessing the encrypted keys.

Lesson: Introduction to Poetry

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Poetry is a form of literature that uses language and structure to create meaning and evoke emotions. It often explores themes such as love, nature, and society. Poems can be written in different forms, such as sonnets, free verse, and haikus.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's take a look at two examples of poetry:

1. "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
```
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
It was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
 Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day;
But doubting if I should ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made a difference over one
As far as I could
```

This poem explores the theme of choice and the consequences of our decisions. The speaker is faced with two paths in the woods and must choose which one to take. The poem is written in four stanzas, each with five lines, and follows a regular rhyme scheme.

2. "Sonnet 18" by William Shakespeare
```
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
```

This sonnet explores the theme of beauty and immortality. The speaker compares their beloved to a summer's day but argues that the beauty of the beloved will never fade, unlike the fleeting nature of summer. The poem is written in a strict rhyme scheme and follows the pattern of iambic pentameter.

### Section 3: Questions and Answers
1. What is the difference between free verse and sonnets?
Answer: Free verse is poetry that does not follow any specific rhyme scheme or metrical pattern, while sonnets are a type of poetry that follows a strict rhyme scheme and usually has 14 lines.

2. What is the theme of "The Road Not Taken"?
Answer: The theme of "The Road Not Taken" is choice and the consequences of our decisions.

3. What is the theme of "Sonnet 18"?
Answer: The theme of "Sonnet 18" is beauty and immortality.

### Section 4: Definitions of Purpose
1. Rhyme scheme: A pattern of rhyming words in a poem that creates a specific structure.
2. Metre: The pattern of beats or stresses in a line of poetry that creates a specific rhythm.
3. Sonnet: A type of poetry that originated in Italy and follows a strict rhyme scheme and usually has 14 lines.

### Glossary
- Rhyme scheme: A pattern of rhyming words in a poem that creates a specific structure.
- Metre: The pattern of beats or stresses in a line of poetry that creates a specific rhythm.
- Sonnet: A type of poetry that originated in Italy and follows a strict rhyme scheme and usually has 14 lines.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the theoretical concepts of poetry, including its form and structure. We also explored practical examples of poems and their themes. By understanding these concepts, we can appreciate and analyze poetry on a deeper level.
