This invention relates generally to radio frequency signal direction finding systems and more particularly to apparatus used in such systems for determining the angle of arrival of a radio frequency signal using multi-beam radio frequency antennas when such signal is a weaker radio frequency signal received subsequent to reception of a stronger, on-going, radio frequency signal.
As is known in the art, it is often desirable to determine the direction or angle of arrival of a source of radio frequency signals. One technique used to determine such direction is through the use of a multi-beam array antenna. As is known, such array antenna may be designed so that it produces a plurality of simultaneously existing beams of radio frequency energy, each one of such beams having the gain and bandwidth of the entire antenna aperture. One such multi-beam array antenna is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,761,936 issued Sept. 25, 1975, "Multi-beam Array Antenna," inventors Donald H. Archer, Robert J. Prickett and Curtis P. Hartwig, and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. Such antenna includes an array of antenna elements coupled to a microwave lens through constrained electrical paths. A desired number of simultaneous beams may be obtained, the constrained electrical paths and the microwave lens equalizing the time delay of received energy between a given one of a number of feed ports and all points on a corresponding wavefront of the received energy. The relative levels of the energy received at the feed ports are related to the direction, or angle of arrival, of the source of the received radio frequency energy.
One technique used to determine the angle of arrival of the received radio frequency energy using a multi-beam array antenna of the type described above has been to pass the energy received at each of the feed ports through separate receiver channels, convert such received signals to digital words representative of the levels of the energy of the received signals and then digitally compute the angle of arrival of the received signal by comparing the relative digitized signals representative of the levels of the energy received at the feed ports. That is, because each feed port is associated with a particular angle of arrival, detection of the feed port which receives the greatest amount of energy provides, to a first approximation, a determination of the angle of arrival of the received signal. Interpolation techniques between the levels of the energy at adjacent feed ports provides a more accurate indication of the angle of arrival of the received energy.
While the technique described above is adequate in the determination of the angle of arrival of a single received signal, such technique may not be adequate where a signal is received subsequent to another, still on-going, received signal. For example, if a first, relatively strong signal is received the energy at a first feed port associated with the angle of arrival of such first received signal will be relatively large, while the energy at the remaining feed ports willl be relatively small. If a second, much weaker signal having a different angle of arrival is received while the first, stronger signal is still being received the level of the energy at the first feed port will remain relatively large compared to the energy received at the remaining feed ports, even the feed port associated with the angle of arrival of the second received signal. Consequently, with the technique described above the system will continue to indicate the angle of arrival of the first received, on-going signal when the second, weaker signal is received and the angle of arrival of the second, weaker signal will not be determined.

## Lesson: Introduction to Linear Algebra

### Section 1: What is Linear Algebra?
Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with linear equations and linear transformations. It is used in many fields, including physics, engineering, computer science, and economics. Linear algebra involves the study of linear equations, matrices, and vector spaces.

### Section 2: Linear Equations
A linear equation is an equation that can be written in the form of ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants and x and y are variables. The solution of a linear equation is the set of values for x and y that make the equation true.

### Section 3: Matrices and Vector Spaces
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions arranged in rows and columns. A vector is a one-dimensional array of numbers, symbols, or expressions. A vector space is a collection of vectors that can be added and multiplied by a scalar.

### Section 4: Solving Systems of Linear Equations
To solve a system of linear equations, we can use the Gaussian elimination method. This involves adding multiples of one equation to another equation until all the coefficients of the variables are the same on both sides of the equation. Then, we can use back-substitution to find the value of the variables.

### Section 5: Least Squares Solutions
Least squares solutions are used to find the best fit line for a set of data points. This involves minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals (the difference between the observed value and the predicted value).

### Section 6: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used to solve linear differential equations. The eigenvalues are the roots of the characteristic equation, and the eigenvectors are the corresponding eigenfunctions.

### Section 7: Singular Value Decomposition
Singular value decomposition is used to decompose a matrix into a product of a lower triangular matrix and its transpose. This is useful in many applications, including image processing and data compression.

### Conclusion:
Linear algebra is a powerful tool that can be used to solve many real-world problems. By understanding the concepts of linear equations, matrices, and vector spaces, we can apply this knowledge to fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science. The skills gained from studying linear algebra can be applied to new problems and situations.

Lesson: Introduction to Cryptocurrency

## Section 1: What is Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security. It operates on a decentralized network called blockchain technology. This means that transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public ledger, which is resistant to modification. Cryptocurrencies are not controlled by any central authority, such as a government or bank.

## Section 2: How does Cryptocurrency work?

Cryptocurrency works by using a distributed ledger system called blockchain. Each block in the chain contains a list of transactions. When a user sends cryptocurrency to another user, the transaction is broadcasted to the network. Miners, who are users with powerful computers, verify the transaction and add it to the block. Once the block is added to the chain, it is considered confirmed.

## Section 3: Why use Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency offers several advantages over traditional currencies. It is secure, fast, and cheap to transfer. Users can send and receive money anywhere in the world without relying on banks or other intermediaries. Cryptocurrencies also provide privacy, as transactions are not easily traceable.

## Section 4: Real-world applications of Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency has many practical applications beyond its use as a form of payment. It can be used to create smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. It can also be used in online gaming, where players can bet using cryptocurrencies instead of traditional currencies.

## Section 5: Risks and challenges of Cryptocurrency

While cryptocurrencies offer many benefits, they also come with risks and challenges. The value of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, meaning that their prices can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Additionally, cryptocurrencies are not yet widely accepted, so users may have difficulty finding merchants who accept them. Finally, the technology behind cryptocurrencies is still relatively new, and there are concerns about its security and sustainability.

## Conclusion

Cryptocurrency is an exciting and innovative form of currency that offers many benefits over traditional currencies. While it does come with risks and challenges, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about money and financial transactions. As more businesses and individuals adopt cryptocurrencies, it is likely that their use will become even more widespread.

Lesson: Introduction to Probabilistic Genotyping

**Overview:** In this lesson, we will learn about probabilistic genotyping, a method used to identify suspects in complex DNA mixtures involving more than one person. We will explore the benefits and drawbacks of this approach and discuss why it is essential to ensure the reliability of forensic evidence.

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

- **Probabilistic genotyping:** A technique used to analyze DNA mixtures that involve multiple individuals. It calculates the probability of a specific individual contributing to the mixture based on their genetic profile.
- **Complex DNA mixtures:** Mixtures where it is difficult to determine the contribution of each individual due to overlapping genetic profiles.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

- **Example 1:** Suppose we have a DNA mixture that contains DNA from three individuals (A, B, and C). The mixture is so complex that it is difficult to determine who contributed what percentage of the DNA. Using probabilistic genotyping, we can calculate the likelihood that each individual contributed to the mixture, allowing us to identify the suspect more accurately.
- **Example 2:** In a criminal investigation, a suspect's DNA was found at the crime scene. However, the DNA mixture also contains DNA from multiple individuals, making it difficult to determine the suspect's contribution. By using probabilistic genotyping, we can calculate the probability that the suspect contributed to the mixture, providing crucial evidence against them.

**Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions**

- **Debate 1:** Should probabilistic genotyping be used as the sole method to identify suspects in complex DNA mixtures?
    - Argument for: It provides a more accurate identification of suspects compared to traditional methods.
    - Argument against: It is still a relatively new technology, and its reliability has not been tested extensively in real-world scenarios.

**Glossary**

- Probabilistic genotyping: A method used to identify suspects in complex DNA mixtures involving more than one person by calculating the probability of a specific individual contributing to the mixture based on their genetic profile.
- Complex DNA mixtures: Mixtures where it is difficult to determine the contribution of each individual due to overlapping genetic profiles.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we have learned about probabilistic genotyping, a powerful tool used to identify suspects in complex DNA mixtures. While this method has several benefits, such as increased accuracy in identifying suspects, it also has some drawbacks, including its complexity and the need for further testing to ensure its reliability. As we continue to study forensic science, it is essential to understand the importance of using reliable methods to ensure that the evidence presented in court is accurate and trustworthy.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Multi-Part Articles

## Overview
In this lesson, we will explore multi-part articles and how they are used to convey complex ideas or stories. We will cover the following topics:

1. What is a multi-part article?
2. How are multi-part articles structured?
3. Why are multi-part articles used?
4. Examples of multi-part articles

## What is a multi-part article?
A multi-part article is a type of article that is divided into several parts or sections. Each part typically focuses on a specific aspect of the overall topic or story. Multi-part articles are often used when the subject matter is too complex or extensive to be covered in a single article.

## How are multi-part articles structured?
Multi-part articles usually follow a specific structure that includes an introduction, several parts or sections, and a conclusion. The introduction provides background information on the topic and sets the stage for the rest of the article. The parts or sections provide detailed information on specific aspects of the topic, and the conclusion summarizes the main points and provides closure.

## Why are multi-part articles used?
Multi-part articles are used for several reasons:

1. To convey complex ideas or stories: Sometimes, a topic or story is too complex to be covered in a single article. A multi-part article allows the author to break down the subject matter into smaller, more manageable parts.

2. To keep readers engaged: By breaking up a long article into smaller parts, readers are more likely to stay engaged and continue reading to the end.

3. To provide more depth and detail: With each part focusing on a specific aspect of the topic, multi-part articles can provide more depth and detail than a single article could.

4. To allow for reader feedback: Some multi-part articles are published over time, allowing readers to provide feedback and engage in discussions before the final part is published.

## Examples of multi-part articles
1. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling - This series of seven books is a classic example of a multi-part article. Each book tells a complete story within the larger narrative arc of the series.

2. Game of Thrones - This television series is another example of a multi-part article. Each season consists of several episodes that tell a part of the overarching story.

3. The Lord of the Rings trilogy - This movie series is also a multi-part article. Each movie covers a specific aspect of the story, but they all come together to tell a complete narrative.

Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about multi-part articles and how they are used to convey complex ideas or stories. We covered the structure of multi-part articles, why they are used, and provided examples of multi-part articles. By understanding the purpose and structure of multi-part articles, we can better appreciate the art of storytelling and the ability to convey complex ideas in a manageable and engaging way.

A new bus interchange proposed for UQ 'would reduce St Lucia traffic by 20 per cent' UQ vice chancellor Professor Peter Hoj. Credit:Glenn Hunt "We have traffic modelling for [consultancy] MRCagney which indicates that if we had the opportunity for buses to 'go through' the university – and in this case we would want it to go under UQ – you would reduce traffic on the St Lucia road network by 20 per cent," he said. The university planned to take buses from Eleanor Schonell Bridge, have them run into a new bus interchange built underground between the Lakes bus station and the Chancellors bus station, then link to Indooroopilly and Toowong. "So we are simply signalling to the people that would be planning to deal with our awful traffic congestion that we want to be part of the solution, not an obstacle." Professor Hoj said UQ would spend $500 million on new campus buildings in the next five years and $100 million a year maintaining its "$3 billion" estate.

University of Queensland recommends a new green bridge run from Orleigh Park at West End across to Guyatt Park at St Lucia. Credit:Google Street View It would ask for state and federal government funds to help build new infrastructure. "When it comes to a piece of infrastructure that helps the whole state, not just the UQ, that would have to be done in partnership between the state, perhaps with assistance from the federal government and UQ," Professor Hoj said. UQ rejected a new green bridge idea for Boundary Street at West End across to UQ. Credit:Google Street View He said the university's first priority in its 15-20 year plan was to "rejuvenate" its existing campus.

Short- and medium-term plans 2018: Start of construction of new student accommodation, to be finished by 2020. 2020: Plans to have 1300 additional units to St Lucia campus. 2022 onwards: Plans for new green bridges; public transport issues. New green bridges – West End and Yeronga

Profesor Hoj appeared unaware of the impact of building a green bridge capable of carrying light rail into West End's Orleigh Park itself. The proposal on Monday angered the West End Community Association – which had no had input towards the planning – and Brisbane City Council's city planning chair Julian Simmonds. However Professor Hoj said it was a plan for the "five to eight-year" time frame and that further feasibility studies would be done. He said the original suggestion was to build a bridge from the university campus across to Boundary Street at West End. "When we first started building our first inclination was that bridge across Boundary Street was the place, because it has been planned since the 1920s," Professor Hoj said.

However he said traffic consultant MRCagney had instead recommended the second green bridge be built across to Orleigh Park. "Their insight into other ambitions of public transport and bicycle pathways in Brisbane have led them to believe that it makes much more sense to have a bridge across to Guyatt Park, rather than at the Toowong Rowing Club," Professor Hoj said. "So that's the reason why." He said the university was told by MRCagney it would "give access to a public park" and that the university planned Saturday markets on the St Lucia side of the river. When pressed why the Boundary Street link was rejected, Professor Hoj said the university "was driven by facts".

"All I can say is that we have been driven by data and what traffic experts tell us," he said. "We don't deal in opinion. We deal in facts and that is the facts we have been given." Ms Trad said it was important the South Brisbane community was included in talks about UQ's plans. "Our community of South Brisbane is close to key institutions like UQ and is an important centre in our growing knowledge-based economy," she said. "I am very keen to talk to my community about the UQ master plan and the potential effect it may have on our suburbs.

"I understand this is a long-term plan about the future of our largest university and it's important that we take the time to have deep community conversations to shape how UQ will grow into the future. "However, I know that locals will be very concerned about any impact on Orleigh Park and it is very important we preserve and create green space rather than reduce it." Professor Hoj said the university had put forward its master plan so it could be debated as state (Cross River Rail) and local (Brisbane Metro) plans were finalised. However he said the university had a "bigger picture" objective to provide access to education as widely as possible. "Because nothing powers democracy and prosperity more than people being educated."

Lesson: Understanding Traffic Congestion and Its Solutions

Introduction:
Traffic congestion is a common problem in many cities around the world. It leads to delays, increased travel times, and higher levels of pollution. In this lesson, we will learn about traffic congestion, its causes, and potential solutions.

Section 1: Understanding Traffic Congestion

Traffic congestion refers to the slow movement of vehicles on roads due to high volume of vehicles or other factors such as accidents, construction, or special events. It can lead to longer travel times, increased fuel consumption, and emissions of greenhouse gases.

Causes of Traffic Congestion:
1. High traffic volume: As the number of vehicles on the road increases, so does the likelihood of congestion.
2. Road design: Poorly designed roads can lead to bottlenecks and other traffic flow issues.
3. Accidents: Accidents can cause sudden traffic jams as drivers slow down or stop to avoid collisions.
4. Special events: Large events such as concerts or sports games can attract large crowds, leading to increased traffic and congestion.

Section 2: Solutions to Traffic Congestion

There are several solutions to traffic congestion, including:

1. Improved public transportation: Encouraging people to use public transportation instead of driving can help reduce the number of cars on the road, leading to less congestion.
2. Road pricing: Charging drivers for using certain roads during peak hours can encourage them to travel during off-peak times or find alternative routes.
3. Carpooling: Encouraging people to share rides with others can reduce the number of cars on the road and ease congestion.
4. Smart traffic management: Using technology such as sensors and data analytics can help traffic managers make better decisions to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
5. Bike lanes and pedestrian-friendly areas: Creating safe and convenient paths for cyclists and pedestrians can encourage people to walk or bike instead of driving.

Section 3: Applying Solutions to Real-World Scenarios

Let's consider a scenario where there is heavy traffic on a major road leading to a shopping mall.

Solution: Improved public transportation
One solution could be to improve public transportation options to the mall, such as adding more frequent buses or creating a dedicated shuttle service. This would give people an alternative to driving and reduce the number of cars on the road.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding traffic congestion and its causes is crucial in finding effective solutions. By implementing strategies such as improved public transportation, road pricing, and smart traffic management, we can reduce congestion and make our cities more livable.

Lesson: Vitamin D Deficiency and its Prevention
Introduction:
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. However, many people suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to various reasons such as lack of sunlight exposure, poor diet, and certain medical conditions. In this lesson, we will learn about the causes of vitamin D deficiency and the best ways to prevent it.
Section 1: Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency
- Lack of sunlight exposure: Vitamin D is produced naturally in the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. However, people who live in areas with limited sunlight or those who spend most of their time indoors are at risk of vitamin D deficiency.
- Poor diet: Many foods contain vitamin D, but not enough to meet the recommended daily intake. Foods rich in vitamin D include fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy products.
- Certain medical conditions: People with liver or kidney diseases, obesity, or cystic fibrosis may have difficulty absorbing vitamin D.
- Medications: Some medications, such as steroids, can interfere with the absorption of vitamin D.
Section 2: Preventing Vitamin D Deficiency
- Sunlight exposure: Spend at least 10-15 minutes in the sunlight every day without sunscreen to allow your skin to produce vitamin D naturally.
- Diet: Eat a balanced diet that includes foods rich in vitamin D, such as fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy products.
- Supplements: Talk to your doctor about taking vitamin D supplements if you are at risk of deficiency.
- Lifestyle changes: Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can help improve vitamin D levels.
Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
- A person living in a northern state where sunlight is limited during winter months may benefit from taking vitamin D supplements during that time.
- An elderly person with mobility issues may benefit from vitamin D-rich foods and supplements to maintain strong bones and muscles.
- A pregnant woman may need to take vitamin D supplements to ensure the health of both herself and her baby.
Conclusion:
Vitamin D deficiency is a common problem that can lead to serious health complications. By understanding the causes of vitamin D deficiency and implementing preventative measures, we can protect ourselves and our families from its negative effects. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplements or making significant changes to your diet or lifestyle.

textbook:
Lesson: How to Calculate Distance and Time Between Two Locations

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the distance and time between two locations using real-world scenarios. We will use the example of driving from Harvey, ND to Egeland, ND to illustrate this concept.

Section 1: Distance Formula
The formula for calculating the distance between two points is:

Distance = Speed x Time

where Speed is the rate at which something moves or operates and Time is the duration of an event or action.

Example:
If you drive an average car (using about 3.6 gallons of gas per mile) and travel at an average speed of 60 miles per hour, it would take you 2 hours 45 mins to reach Egeland, ND from Harvey, ND. In this case, the distance traveled would be:

Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 60 miles/hour x 2 hours 45 mins
Distance = 140 miles

Questions and Answers:
- What is the formula for calculating distance?
- How does the speed of a car affect the time it takes to travel a certain distance?

Section 2: Time Formula
The formula for calculating the time it takes to travel a certain distance is:

Time = Distance / Speed

where Distance is the amount of space between two points and Speed is the rate at which something moves or operates.

Example:
If you are driving from Harvey, ND to Egeland, ND and want to know how long it will take you, you can use the following formula:

Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 110.40 miles / 60 miles/hour
Time = 1.84 hours

Questions and Answers:
- What is the formula for calculating time?
- How does the distance traveled affect the time it takes to reach a destination?

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Let's say you are planning a road trip from Harvey, ND to Egeland, ND. You know that the driving distance is 110.40 miles and you want to arrive at your destination before dark. Using the formula for calculating time, you can determine how long it will take you to complete the journey:

Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 110.40 miles / 60 miles/hour
Time = 1.84 hours

However, since you want to arrive before dark, you decide to increase your speed to 70 miles per hour. Using the same formula, you can recalculate the time it will take you to reach your destination:

Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 110.40 miles / 70 miles/hour
Time = 1.6 hours

By increasing your speed, you can now arrive at your destination 0.24 hours earlier than originally planned.

Questions and Answers:
- How can you use the formula for calculating time to plan a road trip?
- What are some factors that can affect the time it takes to travel a certain distance?

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to calculate the distance and time between two locations using real-world scenarios. By understanding the formulas and variables involved, we can make informed decisions about our travel plans and arrive at our destinations on time.

Lesson: The Importance of Ownership in Business

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of ownership in business. We will explore how owning a business can lead to success and how it can also lead to failure. We will look at examples of successful and failed businesses and analyze what made them successful or failed.

Section 1: What is Ownership in Business?
Ownership in business refers to having control over a company or asset. It means having the power to make decisions, manage resources, and take risks without having to answer to anyone else. Ownership can be achieved through buying shares in a company, starting a new business, or inheriting a business from someone else.

Section 2: Why is Ownership Important in Business?
Ownership is important in business because it gives individuals or groups of people the ability to make decisions that are in their best interest. It allows business owners to take risks, innovate, and create new products or services that can meet the needs of customers. Ownership also provides business owners with the opportunity to build wealth and pass on their business to future generations.

Section 3: Examples of Successful and Failed Businesses
There are many examples of successful and failed businesses that demonstrate the importance of ownership in business. For instance, Apple Inc. is a successful business that was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in 1976. The company was started with a small amount of money and grew into one of the most valuable companies in the world. On the other hand, Blockbuster was a failed video rental business that failed to adapt to changes in technology and consumer behavior. The company was once worth billions of dollars but went bankrupt in 2010.

Section 4: Analyzing Success and Failure
Both successful and failed businesses have one thing in common: ownership. Apple Inc. was successful because Steve Jobs had a vision for the company and was able to execute that vision through his ownership. He had the power to make decisions that were in the best interest of the company, even if they were unpopular with investors or employees. Blockbuster, on the other hand, failed because it did not have effective ownership. The company was owned by shareholders who were focused on short-term profits rather than long-term success. This prevented the company from making the necessary changes to adapt to changing market conditions.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, ownership in business is crucial for success. Business owners must have the power to make decisions, manage resources, and take risks without having to answer to anyone else. By having ownership, business owners can build wealth, innovate, and create new products or services that meet the needs of customers. However, ownership can also lead to failure if the owner is not willing to make tough decisions or adapt to changing market conditions. Therefore, it is essential for business owners to have a clear vision and the ability to execute that vision through effective ownership.

Glossary:
- Ownership: Having control over a company or asset
- Share: A part or portion of something
- Innovate: To introduce something new or creative
- Wealth: An abundance of valuable resources or material possessions

They ALWAYS Want Water!

kitha1215(z8/Central Louisiana)June 5, 2006

A friend of mine bought me some mixed impatiens. My house faces the east so I get morning to mid afternoon sun. They have been planted for about a month now. I water those things constantly, and they are contstantly wilting; like they're just not getting enough water. After I water them they fluff back out like they're alright, but it only lasts until the next morning. I honestly have not seen them go a whole 2 days without wilting. I'm thinking there's no way I can keep up with having to water them all the time. If anyone knows any tips...PLEASE SHARE THEM! If I can't get them under control then I'll have to take them out of the ground and do something else with them.

Here's what *I* do. I add equal parts potting soil and PEAT MOSS. 1 part of each and mix well. The peat retains moisture thereby reducing the amount of watering you have to do. I do this with all plants that are like impatiens when it comes to watering.

The impatiens that take the worst beating are those that are getting that hot afternoon sun. Those that I have planted in direct sun until mid afternoon are flooded heavily like they would get if we had a big fat thunderstorm, and that usually lasts a good three days. Maybe a soaker hose would cut down on your time having to water them? Tom's idea about soil additives is an excellent one too. There's also a product (I think Lowes sells it) that is similiar to what they use in disposable diapers to retain moisture- sorry I can't remember the name of it for you.

Zone 8 is pretty hot for impatiens. Mine on the front porch facing south with some western protection wilt every day during the late morning/2PM timeframe, then they come back.

My only other comment is you have to water container plants every day if it's particularly hot or they get alot of sun. What kind of pots do you have? I've found the plastic or fake clay ones hold moisture so much better. Terra cotta planters wick the water out of the soil and it evaporates - good in some ways so you can't overwater, but in hot weather, it makes it necessary to water daily. My hanging pots in wire/cocoa mat baskets need watered sometimes twice a day as they're in full sun.

I'm in NYC where our summers are tough on plants that require a lot of water. I have a pot of Impantiens in the roughly the same conditions you mentioned -- 6-8hrs. or so of full sun. What made a HUGE difference for mine was mulch. A thick layer of it. Not the large one. I use the cedar mulch which is more fine and doesn't allow much evaporation to take place. My Impatiens has never slumped over. You might try that.

They also MUST have water every day. I water mine in the evening so they have many hours of recovery time from the heat of the day. They get watered until there is run-off from the bottom of the pot. I found out the hard way that just because it rained, it doesn't mean the plant got enough water. Sometimes the foliage of the plant gets so thick that rain water doesn't necessarily reach the soil in ample amounts. I learned to check the soil after rain to see if it was actually damp -- and to my surprise it wasn't more often than I care to count. Even easier is to pour water into the dish the pot sits in, if it starts to get absorbed, the plant needs to be watered.

Also, along with the comment about clay pots... I would add that using light colored pots is better, too. It doesn't heat up like dark colored pots do. As the pot heats up in the sun, the soil heats up and begins to dehydrate.

Lesson: How to Care for Plants

Introduction:
Plants are living things that require care and attention to thrive. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of plant care, including watering, soil, sunlight, and pests. We will also discuss how to identify and address common plant problems.

Section 1: Watering

Watering is one of the most important aspects of plant care. Plants need water to survive, but too much or too little water can be detrimental. Here are some tips for proper watering:

- Water your plants in the morning or evening when the temperature is cooler. This helps prevent fungal growth and root rot.
- Use a watering can or hose to water your plants thoroughly, making sure that the soil is wet but not saturated.
- Be consistent with your watering schedule. Most plants need to be watered once a week, but this can vary depending on the type of plant and the climate.
- Make sure your plants have good drainage. If the soil stays wet for too long, it can lead to root rot and other problems.

Questions:
- How often do you think plants need to be watered?
- What are some signs that a plant needs more or less water?
- Why is it important to water plants in the morning or evening?

Section 2: Soil

Soil is the medium in which plants grow. It provides nutrients and supports the roots of the plant. Here are some tips for choosing and maintaining healthy soil:

- Choose a soil that is appropriate for the type of plant you are growing. Some plants prefer sandy soil, while others need more clay.
- Add compost or other organic matter to the soil to improve its structure and provide nutrients.
- Avoid using too much fertilizer, as this can burn the roots of the plant.
- Test the soil periodically to ensure that it has the right balance of nutrients.

Questions:
- What is the importance of soil in plant care?
- How does the type of plant affect the type of soil it needs?
- What are some ways to improve the quality of soil?

Section 3: Sunlight

Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, which is how plants make food for themselves. Here are some tips for providing the right amount of sunlight for your plants:

- Place plants in a location that receives the appropriate amount of sunlight for their needs. Most plants need at least six hours of sunlight per day.
- If a plant is not getting enough sunlight, it may become leggy and produce fewer flowers or fruits.
- Too much sunlight can also be a problem, as it can cause the leaves to scorch and dry out.

Questions:
- What is photosynthesis, and why is it important for plants?
- How does the amount of sunlight affect the health of a plant?
- Can plants get too much sunlight? If so, how can this be prevented?

Section 4: Pests

Pests are insects or other organisms that can harm your plants. Here are some tips for identifying and dealing with pests:

- Inspect your plants regularly for signs of pests, such as holes in the leaves or stems, or a sticky residue on the leaves.
- If you find pests, treat them immediately to prevent them from causing further damage.
- There are many natural and chemical methods for controlling pests, such as neem oil, diatomaceous earth, and insecticidal soap.
- Always follow the instructions on the label and use caution when applying any pesticide.

Questions:
- What are some common types of pests that affect plants?
- How can you tell if a plant has pests?
- What are some natural and chemical methods for controlling pests?

Conclusion:
In conclusion, caring for plants requires attention to detail and a bit of trial and error. By following these tips for watering, soil, sunlight, and pests, you can help your plants thrive. Remember to be consistent with your care routine and to monitor your plants for signs of trouble. With a little patience and effort, you can enjoy the beauty and bounty of a well-cared-for garden.

A woman reacts after a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, August 3, 2019. (Jose Luis Gonzalez/Reuters)

Yesterday, in the Texan border town of El Paso, a young white supremacist opened fire at a Walmart, killing 20 people and injuring dozens more. His intention, per a manifesto he left on the website 8chan, was to exact revenge against “the Hispanic invasion of Texas,” to forestall what he called “cultural and ethnic replacement,” and to “reclaim my country from destruction.” His actions, he confirmed in the first line, were inspired by “the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto.” The killer was the second gunman to cite Christchurch as an inspiration in the last six months. The perpetrator of the massacre at California’s Poway Synagogue — also a devotee of 8chan — made exactly the same claim in April. In the Internet era, malevolence tends to echo.

During the Cold War, Ian Fleming observed that “once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time it’s enemy action.” So it is here. It would be both too glib and too simplistic to smother the details of these attacks beneath a single word such as “horror” or a catch-all euphemism such as “senseless.” In America, as abroad, we see our fair share of inexplicable violence. But the patterns on display over the last few years have revealed that we are contending here not with another “lone wolf,” but with the fruit of a murderous and resurgent ideology — white supremacy — that deserves to be treated by the authorities in the same manner as has been the threat posed by militant Islam.

We will see a myopic focus on guns in the coming days, tied to a broader discussion of America’s “mass shooting problem.” This will be a mistake — not because America does not have such a problem, but because to focus on limiting a certain tool in a country with half a billion of those tools in circulation and a constitutional provision protecting their ownership is to set oneself up for guaranteed failure. In the last decade, we have watched in horror as devastating attacks have been carried out with the help of trucks, cars, bombs, grenades, incendiary devices, matches, and more. The task before us, to nip this grotesque insurgency in the bud, should transcend our debates over means.

Addressing the problem will require a number of different approaches, some broad, some narrow. President Trump, a man who is comfortable using his bully pulpit for the most frivolous of reasons, should take the time to condemn these actions repeatedly and unambiguously, in both general and specific terms. Simultaneously, the president should work with Congress to devote more resources to infiltrating, tracking, and foiling nascent plots (during the 1940s, the KKK was partly destroyed by a radio show that weaponized insider information against it), and he should instruct the federal government to initiate an information campaign against white-supremacist violence in much the same way as it has conducted crusades against drunk driving, human trafficking, and domestic violence. Just as the government must not react to these incidents by abridging the Second Amendment or the Fourth Amendment, obviously the First Amendment’s crucial protections must also remain intact. But where action is consistent with the law — there is no prohibition on monitoring hotbeds of radicalism, nor against punishing those who plan or incite violence — it must be vigorously taken.

In concert, Americans must recognize that they have a crucial role to play in rooting out this awful ideology and in superintending the places in which it spreads. After an abomination such as this, the right of free association tends to get a bad rap. But, properly understood, free association serves as much as the remedy to extremism as its enabler. If, as they should, the various providers that make websites such as 8chan possible decide that they no longer wish to do so, that is their prerogative. If, as they should, Americans take it upon themselves to spot the early warning signs of radicalization and do whatever they are able to discourage it, that is their prerogative. Here, as elsewhere, the best prophylactic against mass killings is individual intervention and social responsibility.

Alas, technology has made it tougher, not easier, to address threats such as this. It is one thing for undercover agents to infiltrate a militia or a terrorist cell in the hopes of taking action before a plot can be brought to fruition, but it is quite another to track a series of dispersed and unaffiliated actors who may or may not be in the process of adopting a radicalizing ideology that they have encountered online. In the space of a century, our mission has gone from tracking men in uniform who happily lined up in marked trenches, to tracking semi-ironic lost boys floating around the ether. But while the tactics have changed, the rest has not. Now, as ever, evil is evil and murder is murder, and we gain nothing by refusing to call them by their names.

**Lesson: Virtualization for Business**

**Introduction**

Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple operating systems or applications to run on a single physical computer or server. It is a powerful tool that can help businesses increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve agility. In this lesson, we will explore the benefits of virtualization for businesses and how it can be implemented to achieve these benefits.

**Section 1: Understanding Virtualization**

**Topic 1: What is Virtualization?**

Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple operating systems or applications to run on a single physical computer or server. This is achieved by creating a virtual machine (VM) that acts as a separate computer within the physical computer. Each VM runs its own operating system and applications, but shares the hardware resources of the physical computer.

**Topic 2: Why Use Virtualization?**

There are several reasons why businesses use virtualization. These include:

- Cost savings: By virtualizing servers, businesses can reduce the number of physical servers needed, which can lead to significant cost savings.
- Improved efficiency: Virtualization allows businesses to utilize hardware resources more efficiently, which can lead to improved performance and reduced downtime.
- Increased agility: Virtualization makes it easier to deploy new applications and services quickly and efficiently.
- Disaster recovery: Virtualization makes it easier to recover data and applications in the event of a disaster or outage.

**Section 2: Implementing Virtualization**

**Topic 1: Planning for Virtualization**

Before implementing virtualization, businesses need to plan carefully to ensure that they get the most out of the technology. This includes:

- Assessing current infrastructure: Businesses need to assess their current infrastructure to determine which workloads are suitable for virtualization and which are not.
- Determining resource requirements: Businesses need to determine the resource requirements of their virtualized environment, including CPU, memory, storage, and network resources.
- Choosing a virtualization platform: There are several virtualization platforms available, including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer. Businesses need to choose the platform that best meets their needs.

**Topic 2: Implementing Virtualization**

Once businesses have planned for virtualization, they can begin implementing the technology. This involves:

- Creating virtual machines: Businesses need to create virtual machines that will run on their physical computers. This involves choosing an operating system and configuring the virtual machine.
- Installing applications: Once virtual machines have been created, businesses need to install applications on them. This may involve purchasing new licenses or reusing existing ones.
- Managing virtual machines: Businesses need to manage their virtual machines to ensure that they are running efficiently and effectively. This may involve monitoring resource usage, updating software, and troubleshooting issues.

**Section 3: Benefits of Virtualization**

**Topic 1: Cost Savings**

One of the primary benefits of virtualization is cost savings. By virtualizing servers, businesses can reduce the number of physical servers needed, which can lead to significant cost savings. This can be achieved by:

- Reducing hardware costs: Businesses can reduce the cost of hardware by consolidating multiple physical servers onto a single physical computer.
- Reducing power and cooling costs: Virtualization can help businesses save on power and cooling costs by reducing the number of physical servers needed.
- Reducing maintenance costs: Virtualization can help businesses reduce maintenance costs by consolidating multiple physical servers onto a single physical computer.

**Topic 2: Improved Efficiency**

Another benefit of virtualization is improved efficiency. Virtualization allows businesses to utilize hardware resources more efficiently, which can lead to improved performance and reduced downtime. This can be achieved by:

- Improving resource utilization: Virtualization allows businesses to allocate resources more efficiently, which can lead to improved performance and reduced downtime.
- Reducing downtime: Virtualization can help businesses reduce downtime by enabling them to continue running applications and services even if a physical server fails.
- Improving scalability: Virtualization can help businesses improve scalability by enabling them to easily add or remove resources as needed.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In conclusion, virtualization is a powerful tool that can help businesses increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve agility. By carefully planning for virtualization and implementing it effectively, businesses can realize these benefits and gain a competitive advantage in their industry.
