text: IBM took a look at shopping trends this Christmas and found what should already be clear: For retailers, iOS is where the money is.. According to IBM, iOS folk on average spent twice as much on Christmas Day as their Android counterparts — $93.94 per order versus $48.10. More, iOS also drove 23 percent of total online sales, versus Android’s 4.6 percent.. The numbers point to a particularly strong year for Christmas Day sales, which IBM says were up 16.5 percent compared to last year. That increase also comes with a big increase in overall mobile shopping, which commanded 29 percent of all online sales on Wednesday.. IBM’s numbers come from its Digital Analytics Benchmark, which tracks transactions from 800 retail sites in real time.. Its latest findings are very much in line with what it saw on Cyber Monday this year, where mobile traffic climbed by 45 percent to account for 31.7 percent of online sales.. Here’s what that looks like in chart form.. More information:.

Lesson: Understanding Mobile Shopping Trends

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the trends in mobile shopping during the Christmas season. We will analyze the data provided by IBM to understand how iOS users compared to Android users in terms of spending, the percentage of total online sales driven by mobile shopping, and the overall increase in online sales.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Topic 1: Mobile Shopping Trends
- Mobile shopping refers to the process of purchasing goods or services through a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.
- During the Christmas season, mobile shopping has become increasingly popular as more people use their mobile devices to make purchases.

Topic 2: iOS vs. Android
- iOS and Android are two operating systems used by mobile devices.
- iOS is used by Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads, while Android is used by devices such as Samsung and Google Pixel.
- IBM's Digital Analytics Benchmark analyzed the shopping habits of users on both platforms.

Section 2: Questions and Answers

Question: How did iOS users compare to Android users in terms of spending during the Christmas season?
Answer: According to IBM, iOS users spent twice as much on Christmas Day as their Android counterparts - $93.94 per order versus $48.10.

Question: What percentage of total online sales was driven by mobile shopping during the Christmas season?
Answer: Mobile shopping commanded 29 percent of all online sales on Wednesday.

Question: How did IBM gather the data for its Digital Analytics Benchmark?
Answer: IBM's numbers come from its Digital Analytics Benchmark, which tracks transactions from 800 retail sites in real-time.

Section 3: Definitions and Examples

Definition: Online Sales
- Online sales refer to the purchases made through the internet using a computer or mobile device.
- During the Christmas season, online sales increased by 16.5 percent compared to last year.

Example: Real-World Scenario
- Let's say a person wants to buy a new pair of shoes for Christmas. They use their iPhone to browse an online store and find a pair of shoes they like. They add the shoes to their cart and proceed to checkout using their phone. This is an example of mobile shopping.

Section 4: Practical Examples

Example 1: Using Mathematical Abstractions
- Let's say there were 1000 online shoppers on Christmas Day. If iOS users spent twice as much as Android users, then iOS users spent:
    - 2 x $48.10 = $96.20
    - 2 x 1000 = 2000

So, iOS users spent an average of $96.20 each, and there were twice as many iOS users as Android users.

Example 2: Real-World Scenario
- Let's say a person wants to buy a new laptop for Christmas. They use their Android tablet to browse an online store and find a laptop they like. They add the laptop to their cart and proceed to checkout using their tablet. However, the store does not have a mobile app for Android, so the person has to use a desktop computer to complete the purchase. This is an example of a situation where mobile shopping is not possible due to lack of mobile optimization.

Section 5: Self-Debating Discussions

Debate Topic: Should Retailers Optimize Their Websites for Mobile Shopping?
- Pro: Yes, retailers should optimize their websites for mobile shopping because more and more people are using their mobile devices to make purchases.
- Con: No, retailers do not need to optimize their websites for mobile shopping because most people still use desktops to make purchases.

Glossary:
- Mobile shopping: The process of purchasing goods or services through a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.
- iOS: An operating system used by Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads.
- Android: An operating system used by devices such as Samsung and Google Pixel.
- Online sales: Purchases made through the internet using a computer or mobile device.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the trends in mobile shopping during the Christmas season show that iOS users spent twice as much as Android users and drove 23 percent of total online sales. This indicates that mobile shopping is becoming increasingly popular, and retailers should optimize their websites for mobile shopping to cater to the growing number of mobile shoppers. By understanding the differences between iOS and Android users and the impact of mobile shopping on online sales, retailers can make informed decisions about their marketing strategies and website design.

Lesson: Introduction to Composi-Sleeve
## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Composi-Sleeve is a non-welded pipeline repair system that uses patented technology to repair leaks and cracks in pipes and tanks. It is made of steel half-sleeves that are inserted into the damaged area, creating a strong and durable seal.
## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's imagine a scenario where a pipe in a factory is leaking. The manager wants to fix the leak quickly and efficiently without having to shut down the entire factory. They decide to use Composi-Sleeve to repair the leak.
First, they insert the steel half-sleeve into the damaged area of the pipe. Then, they use a specialized resin to fill the space between the half-sleeve and the pipe. Once the resin hardens, the leak is sealed, and the pipe is safe to use again.
The manager is happy with the results because they were able to fix the leak quickly and without having to shut down the entire factory.
## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
What are some advantages of using Composi-Sleeve over other pipeline repair methods?

So yes, I have started to do just that. I have bought pre-school workbooks for him but found that there's too much information on each page so I break it down into simpler format so that it is easier for Rayyan to complete the worksheet.. I also ensure that the instruction is simple. And after he has done each worksheet, I mark the worksheet in front of him and gave him a star stamp and let him stamp his own worksheet. He was so happy he got a star for his work! :). Excellent job, Rayyan!!. Below are two examples.... I guided him with this one...

Lesson: Low Bookcases

Introduction:

Low bookcases are a type of furniture that is designed to store books and other items in a small space. They are called "low" because they are shorter in height than traditional bookcases. In this lesson, we will learn about the benefits of low bookcases, the different types available, and how to choose the right one for your needs.

Core Value:

The core value of this lesson is to teach students about the importance of choosing the right furniture for their space and needs. By understanding the benefits of low bookcases, students will be able to make informed decisions when selecting furniture for their homes or offices.

Benefits of Low Bookcases:

1. Space-saving: Low bookcases are ideal for small spaces because they do not take up as much room as taller bookcases. This makes them perfect for apartments, dorm rooms, or any space where floor space is limited.

2. Accessibility: The lower height of low bookcases makes it easier to reach the books on the top shelf. This is especially important for individuals who have mobility issues or who are elderly.

3. Convenience: Low bookcases are easy to access, making it more convenient to store and move your books.

Types of Low Bookcases:

1. Wooden bookcases: These bookcases are made from wood and come in a variety of finishes and styles. They are durable and can last for many years if taken care of properly.

2. Gloss bookcases: These bookcases have a high-gloss finish that gives them a sleek and modern look. They are often made from materials like glass or acrylic, which make them lightweight and easy to move.

3. Drawer bookcases: These bookcases have drawers at the bottom that provide additional storage space. They are ideal for storing items like CDs, DVDs, or other small items.

Choosing the Right Low Bookcase:

1. Measure your space: Before you buy a low bookcase, make sure you have enough space for it. Measure the area where you plan to place the bookcase and make sure it will fit comfortably in the space.

2. Consider your needs: Think about what you will be using the bookcase for. If you need a lot of storage space, you may want to choose a larger bookcase with more shelves. If you only need a few shelves, a smaller bookcase may be better.

3. Choose a style that fits your decor: Low bookcases come in a variety of styles and finishes, so it's important to choose one that fits your decor. If you have a modern decor, a gloss bookcase may be a good choice. If you prefer a more traditional look, a wooden bookcase with a natural finish may be more appropriate.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, low bookcases are a great option for individuals who have limited space or who want to save on floor space. By understanding the benefits of low bookcases, choosing the right type, and considering your needs and decor, you can find the perfect bookcase for your home or office.

- Metaphor: A comparison between two things without using "like" or "as." For example, "Life is a journey."
- Simile: A comparison between two things using "like" or "as." For example, "Her eyes were like diamonds."
- Personification: Giving human qualities to non-human objects or ideas. For example, "The wind howled through the trees."
### Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, writing a poem can be a fun and rewarding experience. By choosing a subject, structuring the poem, and using literary techniques, you can create a powerful and meaningful work of art. Remember to experiment with different forms, styles, and techniques to find what works best for your subject matter. Happy writing!

Lesson: Introduction to Legal Systems and Court Rulings

**Overview:** In this lesson, we will learn about legal systems and court rulings. We will explore the different types of courts, the roles of judges and lawyers, and the process of making and interpreting laws.

**Section 1: What is a Legal System?**

A legal system is a set of rules and principles that govern the behavior of people in a society. These rules are created by the government and enforced by courts, police, and other authorities. There are different types of legal systems, including common law, civil law, and religious law.

**Section 2: What is a Court Ruling?**

A court ruling is a decision made by a judge or a group of judges in a court case. It is based on the evidence presented by both sides and the interpretation of the law. Court rulings can be appealed to higher courts, and they can be used as precedents in future cases.

**Section 3: How do Courts Work?**

Courts are part of the legal system, and they play an important role in resolving disputes and maintaining order in society. Judges listen to both sides of a case and make a decision based on the evidence and the law. Lawyers represent their clients in court and argue for their position.

**Section 4: What is a Law?**

A law is a rule or set of rules that govern the behavior of people in a society. Laws are created by the government and can be changed by the government. They can be found in written documents such as constitutions, statutes, and regulations.

**Section 5: How are Laws Interpreted?**

Laws are interpreted by judges in court cases. Judges use the language of the law and other sources of law to determine what the law means. Sometimes, the interpretation of a law can change over time as society changes.

**Section 6: Practical Examples**

Let's say you are driving and get into an accident with another car. You go to court to resolve the dispute. The judge will listen to both sides and make a decision based on the evidence and the law. If the judge rules in your favor, you may be able to recover damages from the other driver.

**Section 7: Self-Debating Discussion**

Do you think all laws should be enforced equally, or should some laws be enforced more strictly than others? Why or why not?

**Glossary:**

Phytohormones, miRNAs, and peptide signals integrate plant phosphorus status with arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis.
Most land plant species engage in a beneficial interaction with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in order to increase mineral nutrient acquisition, in particular the major macronutrient phosphorus (P). Initiation, development, and maintenance of the symbiosis are largely under the control of the host plant and strongly influenced by the plants' P status. Recent advances reveal that phytohormones, microRNAs, and secreted peptides all regulate and integrate development of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis with the P status of the plant. This occurs through a complex, multi-layered signaling network with crosstalk between phosphate (Pi) starvation signaling pathways and AM symbiosis signaling, and also via direct effects on the AM fungal symbiont. Multiple checkpoints allow the plant to fine-tune symbiosis based on its P status.

Lesson: Introduction to Lacrosse for Beginners

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Lacrosse is a sport played with a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick called a crosse. The goal of the game is to score by throwing the ball into the opponent's net. The game is played on a field that is similar to a soccer field. There are two teams, each with ten players on the field at a time.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's imagine that we are playing a game of lacrosse. You are on the attacking team and you have possession of the ball. Your team has a man-up situation, which means that one of the defenders has committed a foul and your team has an extra player on the field. You receive the ball on the wing and you see that there is an open lane to the goal. You run towards the goal, but as you approach the crease, the goalie comes out to challenge you. What do you do?

You could pass the ball to one of your teammates who is open on the other wing, but if you do, you may not get another good opportunity to shoot. Alternatively, you could try to shoot the ball past the goalie, but he is tall and has good reach, so you will need to shoot high and hard to get by him.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
What are some advantages and disadvantages of playing lacrosse?

Advantages:
- Lacrosse helps develop hand-eye coordination, footwork, and agility.
- It is a fun and exciting team sport that can help build camaraderie and teamwork skills.
- Lacrosse is a great way to stay active and fit while also learning a new skill.

Disadvantages:
- Lacrosse can be a contact sport, which means there is a risk of injury.
- It can be expensive to buy all the necessary equipment and join a team.
- Some people may not like the physical nature of the sport or find it too competitive.

## Glossary:
- Crosse: A long-handled stick used to play lacrosse.
- Crease: An imaginary line that marks the area around the goal where the goalie can pick up the ball.
- Man-up situation: When a team has an extra player on the field due to a penalty committed by the opposing team.

## Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the basic rules and concepts of lacrosse. We practiced applying these concepts to a real-life scenario and engaged in a self-debating discussion to consider the pros and cons of playing the sport. By understanding the basics of lacrosse, we can apply these skills to other areas of our lives and problem-solving situations.

Lesson: Converting Kelvin to Degree Fahrenheit

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to convert Kelvin to Degree Fahrenheit. We will use the formula 1.8°F = K - 273.15 to convert Kelvin to Degree Fahrenheit.

Section 1: Theory
- Kelvin is the unit of temperature used in the International System of Units (SI). It is represented by the symbol K.
- Degree Fahrenheit is a unit of temperature used in the United States. It is represented by the symbol °F.
- To convert Kelvin to Degree Fahrenheit, we need to subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature and then multiply the result by 1.8.

Example:
- If the temperature is 49.26 K, we can convert it to Degree Fahrenheit by subtracting 273.15 from it and then multiplying the result by 1.8.
- 49.26 K - 273.15 = -223.89 K
- -223.89 K * 1.8 = -371.002 °F

Section 2: Practice Questions
- Convert 44.26 K to Degree Fahrenheit.
- 11.91 K to Degree Fahrenheit.
- 16.42 K to Degree Fahrenheit.

Answers:
- 44.26 K - 273.15 = -228.89 K
- 11.91 K - 273.15 = -261.24 K
- 16.42 K - 273.15 = -256.73 K

Section 3: Self-Debate
- Why do we need to subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature to convert it to Degree Fahrenheit?
- What is the significance of the factor 1.8 in the conversion formula?
- Can we convert Kelvin to Celsius instead of Degree Fahrenheit? If yes, how?

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to convert Kelvin to Degree Fahrenheit using the formula 1.8°F = K - 273.15. We also practiced converting three different Kelvin temperatures to Degree Fahrenheit and engaged in self-debate to deepen our understanding of the topic. This skill can be applied to convert other units of temperature as well.

This is particularly important in applications where the keypad needs to be durable and long-lasting. Good adhesion also ensures that the keypad remains functional and responsive, providing users with accurate and reliable input.
How can we achieve good adhesion between silicone rubber and other materials?
There are several ways to achieve good adhesion between silicone rubber and other materials. These methods include:
- Surface treatment: The surface of the material to which the silicone rubber keypad will be attached can be treated to improve adhesion. This can involve cleaning the surface to remove any contaminants or applying a primer to enhance bonding.
- Choosing the right adhesive: The choice of adhesive is critical in achieving good adhesion between silicone rubber and other materials. Acrylic adhesives are commonly used because they provide excellent bonding strength and durability.
- Optimizing the curing process: The curing process of the adhesive is also crucial in achieving good adhesion. Proper curing time and temperature should be followed to ensure that the adhesive reaches its optimal bonding strength.
Practical Examples:
Let's consider an example where we need to attach a silicone rubber keypad to a plastic housing. To achieve good adhesion, we would first clean the surface of the plastic housing to remove any contaminants that may hinder bonding. We would then apply a thin layer of acrylic adhesive to the housing and press the keypad onto it, ensuring that it is firmly in place. Finally, we would allow the adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions to achieve optimal bonding strength.
Conclusion:
In summary, adhesion is a critical factor in silicone rubber keypads, as it ensures that the keypad remains securely attached to the device or other materials. By understanding the principles of adhesion and selecting the appropriate materials and processes, we can achieve strong and durable bonds between silicone rubber and other materials.

They would also coordinate with local governments, businesses, and residents to ensure that the new highway system meets the needs of everyone involved.

Another example of transportation planning and coordination is the management of public transportation systems. This involves analyzing ridership data, identifying areas of need, and developing strategies to improve service and accessibility. Planners may also coordinate with local governments and transit agencies to ensure that public transportation systems are integrated and efficient.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
A real-world scenario where transportation planning and coordination is essential is during a major event or emergency situation. For example, during a hurricane, transportation planners would work with local governments and emergency responders to ensure that evacuation routes are clear and that transportation services are available to those who need them. They would also coordinate with public transportation providers to ensure that buses and trains are running on schedule and that there are enough vehicles to accommodate everyone who needs to evacuate.

### Section 4: Critical Thinking Questions
1. How does transportation planning and coordination benefit society?
2. What are some challenges that transportation planners face when developing and implementing transportation systems?
3. How can transportation planning and coordination be improved to better meet the needs of people and goods?

[Computerized tomography in renal injuries].
CT scans were performed on 25 patients suspected of sustaining renal trauma. The utility of CT in both detecting renal damage and appraising the gravity of injuries was assessed. Nowadays, in fact, nephrectomy is reserved for lesions devastating the kidney parenchyma or rupturing the renal pedicle; so it is very important to identify both the kind of lesions, and the extent of the damage, for the purposes of a better planned therapeutic approach. CT does both, being more accurate than urography in the detection of renal fractures, intra or extraparenchymal hematomas and contrast media extravasation. Urography very often shows aspecific lesion patterns and sometimes it is also falsely negative. In the present series CT was more reliable than angiography itself, particularly in the diagnosis of extra-renal hematic collections, contrast media extravasation and injuries to the other abdominal organs. Although CT may arouse the suspicion of and sometimes correctly diagnose vascular lesions, such as renal infarction, angiography remains the choice examination in the study of vascular lesions, thanks to its characteristic and unmistakable images.

Lesson: Introduction to Computerized Tomography (CT) Scans

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of CT scans and their applications in medical imaging.

**Glossary:**
- CT: Computerized Tomography
- Renal: Relating to the kidneys
- Trauma: Injury or damage
- Nephrectomy: Surgical removal of a kidney
- Parenchyma: The functional tissue of an organ
- Pedicle: A stalk or stem-like structure
- Therapeutic: Relating to the treatment of disease or injury
- Lesions: Abnormal tissue growths or changes
- Extravasation: The escape of blood or other fluid from a blood vessel or cavity into surrounding tissues
- Aspecific: Not specific or distinct
- Hematoma: A collection of blood outside a blood vessel
- Urography: X-ray examination of the urinary tract
- Contrast media: Substances used to enhance the visibility of structures in the body during imaging

**Introduction:** CT scans are a type of medical imaging that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of the body. They are commonly used to detect injuries or abnormalities in various organs, including the kidneys. In this lesson, we will learn about the applications of CT scans in detecting and assessing renal trauma.

**Section 1: Understanding CT Scans**

CT scans work by taking a series of X-ray images from different angles around the body. These images are then combined by a computer to create a detailed, cross-sectional view of the internal structures. This allows doctors to see inside the body and identify any abnormalities or injuries that may not be visible on the surface.

**Section 2: Applications of CT Scans in Renal Trauma**

In cases of suspected renal trauma, CT scans are often used to detect and assess the severity of injuries. This is important because the treatment approach depends on the type and extent of the damage. For example, if a kidney is completely destroyed or if the renal pedicle (the blood vessel that supplies blood to the kidney) is ruptured, a surgery called nephrectomy may be required. On the other hand, if the damage is less severe, a conservative approach such as medication or observation may be taken.

**Section 3: Advantages of CT Scans over Other Imaging Techniques**

There are several advantages of using CT scans over other imaging techniques such as urography or angiography. Firstly, CT scans are more accurate in detecting renal fractures, intra or extraparenchymal hematomas, and contrast media extravasation. This means that doctors can get a more precise picture of the damage and determine the best course of action. Secondly, CT scans are less likely to produce false-negative results compared to urography, which may miss some injuries or give unclear results. Finally, CT scans can also help identify injuries to other abdominal organs, which may not be visible with other imaging techniques.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In conclusion, CT scans are a valuable tool in the detection and assessment of renal trauma. They provide more accurate and detailed information about the extent of the damage compared to other imaging techniques. By understanding the benefits of CT scans and their applications in medical imaging, we can better appreciate their importance in modern medicine.
