More questions are being raised about the temporary hiring of Chinese miners to work in underground coal mines in northeastern B.C.

The United Steelworkers Union says job ads posted on the Government of Canada’s job bank last year list speaking Mandarin as an asset.

Director Stephen Hunt says this raises questions about the requirements for working at the mines, especially after one company found no qualified Canadians to work at an underground mine near Tumbler Ridge.

"It doesn't smell right to us. It doesn't look right to a lot of people in British Columbia and Canada," he said.

"We just think it's a cheap way to bring people in to extract a resource that's been there for a million years."

HD Mining, the company developing the Tumbler Ridge mine, says speaking Mandarin is not a job requirement.

Vice-president Jody Shimkus calls the ad "an isolated case" and says it doesn't reflect the company's hiring policy.

She says inexperience — not language — is the reason no Canadian miners were hired to work underground.

Fourteen Chinese miners are set to arrive in Tumbler Ridge later this month, the first wave of 200 workers hired to work underground.

text: I forgot to get a picture today! Fortunately, I took pictures of my randomized seats for each class period. This was the first Monday of the school year, so it was the first time I randomized the seats. Although students weren’t exactly thrilled, it went mostly okay. I know a lot of people like to do random grouping daily, but I prefer to give my students a consistent group for an entire week. I think it helps build relationships, and it forces them to engage with their group members rather than just waiting for a “better” group the next day. It worked for me last year. Here’s to another good year of random groups!. Tag: Visible Random Grouping

text: Sinbad (Patrick Wayne) looks out to a splendid city in SINBAD & THE EYE OF THE TIGER (1977). This appears to be a standard matte painting, even though Ray Harryhausen productions were never too keen in using this kind of special effect technique, usually opting for the use of models and forced perspective instead (model is in the foreground). I always like these scenes because they give a sense of placement to the story. I also like Patrick Wayne as Sinbad in this film. His characterization was more in style with the old Sinbad, which I prefer, even if the acting, from Wayne or the entire cast was pretty uninspired.

Evaluation of antitumor activity of navelbine (vinorelbine ditartrate) against human breast carcinoma xenografts based on its pharmacokinetics in nude mice.
The in vitro antitumor activity of navelbine (NVB, KW-2307), a newly synthesized vinca alkaloid, was compared with that of adriamycin (ADM) against human breast carcinomas inoculated into nude mice at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and clinically equivalent dose (CED). The plasma levels of NVB after intravenous injection into nude mice at doses of 1.2 and 4.8 mg/kg diminished rapidly during the early phase (0-1 h), followed by a very long shallow one. NVB was still detected 96 h after administration at a dose of 4.8 mg/kg. The pharmacokinetic parameters of NVB in plasma indicated that NVB extensively distributes to tissues. The CED of NVB was provisionally decided to be 4.8 mg/kg based on the comparison of AUC values at 24-infinity h between human patients and nude mice. When compared by a single injection of MTD (NVB, 16 mg/kg; ADM 12 mg/kg), NVB was effective against all four tumor lines, MC-2, MC-8, MMKY and H-31, while ADM was effective only against H-31. On the other hand, the body weight loss by NVB was mild as compared with that by ADM, indicating that the antitumor activity of NVB is superior to that of ADM at their MTDs. A single injection of NVB at its CED (4.8 mg/kg) produced a poor antitumor effect and no or little toxicity in terms of body weight loss, as compared with those at MTD. However, when NVB was administered intermittently at CED, it exhibited significant antitumor activity against three tumor lines. The body weight loss was still mild even on this intermittent schedule.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Lesson: Introduction to Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics is the study of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by the body. This lesson will introduce you to the basics of pharmacokinetics and how it applies to the evaluation of antitumor activity of navelbine (vinorelbine ditartrate) against human breast carcinoma xenografts.

Section 1: What is Pharmacokinetics?
Pharmacokinetics is the study of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by the body. It is an essential part of drug development and helps scientists understand how drugs work and how they can be used safely and effectively.

Section 2: Absorption
Absorption is the process by which a drug enters the bloodstream from the site of administration. This can occur through different routes such as oral, intravenous, or intramuscular. The rate and extent of absorption depend on factors such as the drug's chemical properties, the route of administration, and the presence of food or other substances in the gastrointestinal tract.

Section 3: Distribution
Once a drug has been absorbed into the bloodstream, it must be distributed throughout the body to reach its target site. The distribution of a drug depends on its chemical properties, such as its lipophilicity, and its ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier.

Section 4: Metabolism
Metabolism is the process by which the body breaks down and eliminates drugs. This occurs primarily in the liver, where enzymes break down the drug into smaller molecules that can be more easily eliminated from the body. The rate of metabolism can vary widely among individuals due to genetic differences in enzyme activity.

Section 5: Excretion
Excretion is the process by which drugs and their metabolites are eliminated from the body, primarily through the kidneys. The rate of excretion depends on factors such as the drug's chemical properties, its route of elimination, and the function of the kidneys.

Section 6: Example
Let's consider the example of navelbine (vinorelbine ditartrate), a drug used to treat cancer. In a study, navelbine was compared to adriamycin (ADM) for its antitumor activity against human breast carcinomas inoculated into nude mice. The pharmacokinetics of navelbine were studied, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. The results showed that navelbine had good antitumor activity and was well-tolerated by the mice, with minimal weight loss.

Conclusion
In this lesson, we have introduced the basics of pharmacokinetics and how it applies to the evaluation of antitumor activity of navelbine. Understanding pharmacokinetics is essential for drug development and ensuring that drugs are used safely and effectively. By studying the pharmacokinetics of a drug, scientists can optimize its dosing regimen, minimize side effects, and maximize its therapeutic potential.

Lesson: Informed Consent and Medical Battery

Introduction:
Informed consent is a legal process that allows an individual to make decisions about their medical care. It is essential to ensure that patients understand the risks and benefits of a particular treatment or procedure. In this lesson, we will learn about informed consent and medical battery, including their definitions, importance, and examples.

Section 1: Defining Informed Consent and Medical Battery

**Informed Consent:**
Informed consent is a process in which a patient gives permission for a doctor or healthcare provider to perform a specific medical procedure or treatment. It is essential to ensure that the patient understands the risks, benefits, and alternatives involved in the decision.

**Medical Battery:**
Medical battery refers to any unwanted or unconsented touching, contact, or physical intrusion by a healthcare provider during medical treatment or examination. It can include unnecessary procedures, excessive tests, or physical contact without consent.

Section 2: Importance of Informed Consent and Medical Battery

**Informed Consent:**
Informed consent is crucial because it protects patients' rights and ensures that they are aware of the potential risks and benefits of a particular treatment or procedure. It also helps to build trust between the patient and the healthcare provider, as it demonstrates that the provider values the patient's autonomy and wishes.

**Medical Battery:**
Medical battery is a severe violation of a patient's rights and can lead to physical and emotional harm. It is essential to report any instances of medical battery to the appropriate authorities, as it is a crime.

Section 3: Examples of Informed Consent and Medical Battery

**Informed Consent:**
An example of informed consent would be a patient signing a form before undergoing surgery. The form would outline the risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure, allowing the patient to make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed.

**Medical Battery:**
An example of medical battery would be a doctor performing an unnecessary procedure without the patient's consent. This could include performing a surgery without explaining the risks or performing a physical examination that is not medically necessary.

Conclusion:
Informed consent and medical battery are essential concepts in medicine. They protect patients' rights and ensure that they are aware of the potential risks and benefits of a particular treatment or procedure. By understanding these concepts, we can better advocate for our own healthcare needs and hold healthcare providers accountable for their actions.

Glossary:
- **Informed Consent:** A legal process that allows an individual to make decisions about their medical care.
- **Medical Battery:** Any unwanted or unconsented touching, contact, or physical intrusion by a healthcare provider during medical treatment or examination.

Can't Keep The Rain Lyrics

Can't Keep The Rain
Is there something you'd like to do tonight?
I got some bridges to burn
I'd like to fly away tonight
For whatever it's worth
Keep the salt out of my eyes can you
Keep the heat in the air?
Maybe i'm making the whole thing up
Maybe you're not even there

I called your machine just to hear your voice
I know you were listening when all i could hear was noise
And all of the demons around my bed
Call your name like they want you dead
But i can't keep the rain from getting in
Can't keep the rain from getting in
One more yeah it's pouring down again
I can't keep the rain from getting in
One more night

I set fire to the car tonight
To keep from running away
I needed something loud and bright
To keep the memory at bay
Sometimes i shout a lot
There's things i know how to say
Sometimes i get scared
I just get carried away

I called your machine just to hear your voice
I know you were listening when all i could hear was noise
And all of the demons around my bed
Call your name like they want you dead
But i can't keep the rain from getting in
Can't keep the rain from getting in
One more night
Yeah it's pouring down
Yeah it's pouring down again
I can't keep the rain from getting in
One more night, night, night

well i call your name just to hear the sound
hang in the air as i walk around

Lesson Title: Introduction to Algebra

Introduction:
Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of equations, expressions, and operations involving symbols such as letters and numbers. It is used in everyday life, from calculating the area of a room to understanding how much interest will be earned on a loan. In this lesson, we will learn the basics of algebra, including variables, constants, and operations.

Section 1: Variables and Constants
Variables are letters or symbols that represent unknown values in an equation. They are used to solve for a specific value or to represent a changeable quantity. For example, if we want to know how many apples are in a basket, we can use the variable "x" to represent the number of apples.

Constants are numbers or symbols that remain the same throughout an equation. They do not change and are used to help solve for the value of a variable. For example, if we know that the price of apples is $2 per pound, we can use the constant "2" to represent the cost of one pound of apples.

Section 2: Operations
Operations are the actions that we perform on variables and constants to create an equation. There are four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations are used to manipulate the value of a variable in order to solve for a specific answer.

Addition: When two numbers or variables are added together, we call it addition. For example, if we have 3 apples and we add 2 more, we now have 5 apples.
Subtraction: When we take away one number from another, we call it subtraction. For example, if we have 5 apples and we take away 2, we now have 3 apples left.
Multiplication: When we multiply two numbers or variables together, we call it multiplication. For example, if we have 5 apples and we multiply them by 2, we now have 10 apples.
Division: When we divide one number by another, we call it division. For example, if we have 10 apples and we divide them into 4 groups, we have 2 apples in each group.

Section 3: Equations
An equation is a mathematical statement that uses variables and constants to express a relationship between two or more values. Equations can be used to solve for a specific value or to represent a changeable quantity.

For example, if we know that the cost of 5 pounds of apples is $10, we can write an equation as follows:
Cost = 5 * 2

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about variables, constants, and operations in algebra. We also learned how to create equations and how to solve for specific values. By understanding these basic concepts, we can apply them to real-world scenarios and make informed decisions.

Glossary:
- Variable: A letter or symbol that represents an unknown value in an equation.
- Constant: A number or symbol that remains the same throughout an equation.
- Operation: An action that we perform on variables and constants to create an equation.
- Addition: Adding two numbers or variables together.
- Subtraction: Taking away one number from another.
- Multiplication: Multiplying two numbers or variables together.
- Division: Dividing one number by another.
- Equation: A mathematical statement that uses variables and constants to express a relationship between two or more values.

Lesson Title: Understanding Psychological Research

Introduction:
Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. It aims to understand and explain how people think, feel, and behave. Psychological research involves conducting experiments, surveys, and observations to test hypotheses and theories about human behavior. In this lesson, we will learn about different types of psychological research, how to read and interpret research findings, and how to apply these findings to real-world situations.

Section 1: Types of Psychological Research

1.1. Experimental Research
Experimental research involves conducting controlled experiments to test hypotheses and theories about human behavior. For example, a psychologist might conduct an experiment to test whether a certain type of therapy is more effective than another type of therapy in treating depression.

1.2. Survey Research
Survey research involves collecting data from a large sample of people to understand their behaviors, attitudes, and opinions. For example, a psychologist might conduct a survey to understand how people perceive the effects of alcohol on their behavior.

1.3. Observational Research
Observational research involves observing people's behavior in natural settings without trying to manipulate or control any variables. For example, a psychologist might observe how children interact with each other on a playground to understand how social relationships develop.

Section 2: Reading and Interpreting Research Findings

2.1. Reading Research Articles
Research articles typically follow a specific structure, including an introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references. The introduction provides background information on the topic, the methods section describes how the research was conducted, the results section presents the findings, and the discussion section interprets the results and their implications.

2.2. Understanding Statistical Analysis
Statistical analysis involves using mathematical techniques to summarize and analyze data. Common statistical tests include t-tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis. These tests help researchers determine whether their results are statistically significant and generalizable to the population.

2.3. Interpreting Graphs and Charts
Graphs and charts are often used to visualize data and make it easier to interpret. Bar graphs, line graphs, and scatter plots are common types of graphs used in psychological research. When reading a graph or chart, it's essential to pay attention to the labels, scales, and units of measurement.

Section 3: Applying Psychological Research to Real-World Situations

3.1. Understanding Generalizability
Generalizability refers to the extent to which research findings can be applied to other situations or populations. Not all research findings are generalizable, so it's essential to consider the context in which the research was conducted.

3.2. Applying Research Findings to Everyday Life
Psychological research can provide insights into human behavior and help us make better decisions in our daily lives. For example, understanding the effects of stress on decision-making can help us make better choices when faced with challenging situations.

3.3. Using Research to Improve Well-Being
Psychological research can also help us understand how to improve our well-being. For example, research on mindfulness meditation has shown that it can reduce stress and improve overall happiness.

Conclusion:
Understanding psychological research is essential for anyone interested in human behavior and mental processes. By learning about different types of research, how to read and interpret research findings, and how to apply these findings to real-world situations, we can gain valuable insights into human behavior and improve our well-being.

One of the older members of the Indian U19 World Cup squad, this right-handed batsman only broke into the team during the Afro-Asia U19 Cup in November 2005. He obviously did enough to impress the selectors as he played in every match and he will be hoping to improve on his impressive start to his international career after scoring 156 runs in his six innings to date.

Why was it that Australia put in such a hazy performance in a match that mattered so much? Of the two teams they are the more experienced, the more used to winning and entering this week the more confident

**What is Cricket?**
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players each. It is played on a grassy field called a pitch, with a wicket (a set of three wooden stumps) at each end. The object of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team.

**History of Cricket**
Cricket has its roots in England and dates back to the 16th century. It was first played by children in the streets of London, and later formalized by adults who would play for money. Today, cricket is played all over the world, especially in countries that were once part of the British Empire.

**Rules of Cricket**
Cricket has many rules and can be quite complex. However, here are some of the most important rules to know:

- A game of cricket is divided into two innings, one for each team.
- Each team takes turns batting and fielding.
- The team batting tries to score runs by hitting the ball and running between the wickets.
- The team fielding tries to get the batsmen out by catching the ball before it hits the ground or by getting them to miss the ball when it is bowled.
- A run is scored when the batsman hits the ball and runs to the other wicket before the fielding team can get it back.
- The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

Title: Introduction to Non-Profit Organizations

## Chapter 1: What is a Non-Profit Organization?

A non-profit organization (NPO) is an organization that operates for a charitable, educational, or scientific purpose, rather than generating a profit for shareholders or owners. NPOs can take many forms, including charities, foundations, and associations.

## Chapter 2: Purpose of Non-Profit Organizations

The purpose of NPOs is to serve a public benefit, such as providing education, healthcare, or social services. They often rely on donations, grants, and fundraising efforts to support their work.

## Chapter 3: Types of Non-Profit Organizations

There are several types of NPOs, including:

1. Charities: Organizations that provide assistance to those in need, such as food, shelter, or medical care.
2. Foundations: Organizations that provide funding for other organizations or causes.
3. Associations: Groups of people who share a common interest or goal, such as promoting a particular hobby or profession.

## Chapter 4: How Non-Profit Organizations Operate

NPOs operate differently than for-profit businesses. They do not have shareholders or owners, and they must follow specific rules and regulations to maintain their tax-exempt status. They typically have a board of directors or trustees who oversee the organization's operations and ensure that it remains true to its mission.

## Chapter 5: Examples of Non-Profit Organizations

Some examples of well-known NPOs include:

1. United Way: A charity that supports education, income, and health programs.
2. Red Cross: An international organization that provides disaster relief and assistance.
3. Doctors Without Borders: A medical NGO that provides aid in areas affected by conflict or natural disasters.

## Chapter 6: Skills Gained from Studying Non-Profit Organizations

Studying NPOs can help develop several skills, including:

1. Critical thinking: Analyzing the impact and effectiveness of NPOs.
2. Communication: Collaborating with others to achieve common goals.
3. Research: Collecting and analyzing data to make informed decisions.

## Conclusion

Non-profit organizations play an important role in society by providing valuable services and resources to those in need. By studying NPOs, we can gain a better understanding of how they operate and the impact they have on our communities. This knowledge can help us become more informed citizens and potentially lead to careers in the non-profit sector.

text: Nike Lunarglide+2£82.00 Skip to view deals. As part of the celebrated Lunar range, the Lunarglide bridges the gap brilliantly between lightweight racer and high miler. This is down to its Lunarlite (30% lighter than standard Phylon) cushioning material and its Dynamic Support system.. This system sits in the shoe’s midsole and features more soft foam on the lateral side for cushioning on impact, and more firm foam on the medial side for support. These shoes certainly inspire confidence with their solid, quality feel, and although this results in a slightly dull road feel, the sensation is one of protection.. Nike has also lead the way with the Lunarglide’s seamless, laminated upper construction, while the highly effective Flywire technology (thin Nylon fibres on the upper to hold the foot in place) makes for a great connection with the foot. The Rio styling of this model is on the conservative side, but with a few colour pop details it becomes a shoe worth coveting.

Lesson: How to Analyze Product Reviews

Introduction:
Product reviews are an essential tool for consumers when making purchasing decisions. They provide valuable insights into the quality, performance, and reliability of products. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze product reviews to make informed decisions about which products to buy.

Section 1: Understanding Product Reviews

Topic 1: What are product reviews?
Product reviews are written evaluations of a product by customers who have already purchased and used the product. These reviews can be found on various websites, such as Amazon or Walmart.

Topic 2: Why are product reviews important?
Product reviews are important because they provide honest feedback from other customers who have already tried the product. This information can help you determine if the product is worth buying, if it meets your needs, and if it is reliable.

Topic 3: Types of product reviews
There are two main types of product reviews: positive and negative. Positive reviews highlight the good aspects of the product, while negative reviews point out the bad aspects. Both types of reviews are important when analyzing product reviews.

Section 2: Analyzing Product Reviews

Topic 1: Reading between the lines
When analyzing product reviews, it is essential to read between the lines. Some customers may write positive reviews to promote the product, while others may write negative reviews to discourage others from buying the product. Therefore, it is crucial to look for specific details in the review that support the customer's opinion.

Topic 2: Identifying common themes
Another essential aspect of analyzing product reviews is identifying common themes. By looking for common issues or complaints, you can determine if the product has any significant flaws or problems.

Topic 3: Comparing reviews to the product's features
Comparing product reviews to the product's features can help you determine if the product lives up to its advertised capabilities. If many customers mention a specific feature that is not mentioned in the product's description, it may be a red flag that the product does not deliver on its promises.

Section 3: Applying Analyzed Product Reviews to Your Purchasing Decision

Topic 1: Weighing the pros and cons
Once you have analyzed product reviews, you should weigh the pros and cons of the product. Consider the positive aspects of the product, such as its features and performance, and the negative aspects, such as durability and reliability.

Topic 2: Considering the source
It is essential to consider the source of the product review. Are the reviews from verified purchasers or just general comments? Verified purchasers are customers who have actually bought the product and used it. Their reviews are usually more reliable than general comments from people who have not tried the product.

Topic 3: Making a decision
After analyzing product reviews and considering the pros and cons, you should make a decision about whether to buy the product. Remember that no product is perfect, so you should look for the product that best meets your needs and expectations.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, analyzing product reviews is an essential skill when making purchasing decisions. By understanding the different types of product reviews and how to read between the lines, you can make informed decisions about which products to buy. Remember to weigh the pros and cons, consider the source, and make a decision based on your analysis. With these skills, you will be able to find the perfect product for your needs.

Effect of aspartate and glutamate on nociception, catalepsy and core temperature in rats.
Effects of excitatory aminoacids (EAAs) aspartate (ASP) and glutamate (GLU) in a low (50 ng, i.c.) and high dose (20 micrograms, i.c.), were studied on nociception, catalepsy and rectal temperature in albino rats. Both ASP and GLU altered the tail flick reaction time to thermal stimulation in a dose dependent manner, increasing it with low doses and reduced with high doses. Naloxone (10 micrograms, ic) antagonized the anti-nociceptive effect of EAAs while ketamine (10 micrograms, ic)-a NMDA receptor antagonist antagonized the hyperalgesic effect. These EAAs also antagonized catalepsy induced by haloperidol, chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine and morphine. Both ASP and GLU produced a hyperthermic response in all animals, including those in which hypothermia was induced by reserpine. These EAAs produced a comparable central modulatory effects on nociception, catalepsy and core temperature.

Lesson: The Effect of Excitatory Amino Acids on Pain Perception, Muscle Stiffness, and Body Temperature in Rats

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the effects of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) aspartate and glutamate on nociception, catalepsy, and core temperature in rats. We will explore how these EAAs affect pain perception, muscle stiffness, and body temperature and how they can be used to modulate these responses in various scenarios.

Section 1: Understanding Excitatory Amino Acids

Excitatory amino acids are neurotransmitters that play a crucial role in transmitting signals between neurons in the brain. Aspartate and glutamate are two common EAAs that have been found to have significant effects on nociception, catalepsy, and core temperature in rats.

Section 2: Effects of Excitatory Amino Acids on Nociception

Nociception refers to the process by which the body perceives pain. Aspartate and glutamate have been found to alter the tail flick reaction time to thermal stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. Low doses of these EAAs increase the reaction time, indicating decreased sensitivity to pain, while high doses reduce the reaction time, indicating increased sensitivity to pain.

Section 3: Effects of Excitatory Amino Acids on Catalepsy

Catalepsy is a condition characterized by muscle stiffness and immobility. Aspartate and glutamate have been found to antagonize catalepsy induced by various drugs, including haloperidol, chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, and morphine. This suggests that these EAAs can modulate muscle stiffness and immobility in rats.

Section 4: Effects of Excitatory Amino Acids on Core Temperature

Core temperature refers to the temperature of the internal environment of an organism. Aspartate and glutamate have been found to produce a hyperthermic response in all rats, including those in which hypothermia was induced by reserpine. This suggests that these EAAs can modulate body temperature in rats.

Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, excitatory amino acids aspartate and glutamate have significant effects on nociception, catalepsy, and core temperature in rats. They can be used to modulate these responses in various scenarios, such as in pain management or in the study of drug-induced muscle stiffness and immobility. By understanding the effects of these EAAs, we can gain valuable insights into the complex processes that govern pain perception, muscle stiffness, and body temperature.
