text: DCI Dialysis Clinic. DCI provides comprehensive patient care for patients with end-stage renal disease.. Dr. Keith Johnson, then assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt, led the efforts to establish the first outpatient dialysis facility in the Nashville area. Dr. Johnson felt strongly that the venture should be not-for-profit and decided that any excess revenues generated would be earmarked for research and education in the field of kidney disease, or for expansion of services to benefit additional ESRD patients.. This Skowhegan facility is evidence of those expanded services envisioned by Doctor Johnson. Working with architect, Jack Freeman & Associates and local subcontractors, Sheridan was able to deliver this state-of-the-art dialysis clinic to our client ahead of schedule and under budget.Contact David Whitney. for more information about this project

Lesson: Introduction to Music Theory

**Overview:** This lesson will introduce students to the basics of music theory, including the concept of pitch, rhythm, and melody. Students will learn how to read sheet music and identify different musical notes. They will also explore the different elements that make up a song, such as tempo, dynamics, and harmony. By the end of this lesson, students will have a basic understanding of music theory and be able to apply it to their own compositions.

**Section 1: Pitch, Rhythm, and Melody**

**Topic 1: Pitch**
- Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound.
- In Western music, there are 12 notes in an octave, each with a specific frequency.
- Notes are represented by letters A through G, with sharps and flats added as needed.

**Topic 2: Rhythm**
- Rhythm refers to the pattern of beats in a piece of music.
- Beats can be divided into two, three, or four parts, depending on the time signature.
- Notes are grouped into measures, which are then grouped into phrases.

**Topic 3: Melody**
- Melody refers to the sequence of notes that create a tune.
- A melody can be composed of different intervals, such as major or minor thirds.
- A melody can also be described as diatonic or chromatic, depending on whether it stays within a key or moves between different keys.

**Section 2: Reading Sheet Music**

**Topic 1: Clefs**
- There are two types of clefs: treble and bass.
- Treble clef is used for high-pitched instruments like violins, while bass clef is used for low-pitched instruments like cellos.
- The staff is divided into lines and spaces, with each line or space representing a note.

**Topic 2: Notes and Rest**
- A note represents the duration of a sound, while a rest represents the duration of silence.
- Notes are represented by ovals, with flags extending from the staff indicating the pitch.
- Rests are represented by hollow ovals with no flags.

**Topic 3: Time Signatures**
- Time signatures indicate the number of beats per measure and which type of note gets the beat.
- Common time signatures include 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8.
- Understanding time signatures helps musicians play in sync with others.

**Section 3: Elements of a Song**

**Topic 1: Tempo**
- Tempo refers to the speed at which a piece of music is played.
- Tempo markings include allegro (fast), adagio (slow), and presto (very fast).
- Understanding tempo helps musicians play with appropriate expression and timing.

**Topic 2: Dynamics**
- Dynamics refer to the volume of a piece of music.
- Dynamics markings include piano (soft), forte (loud), and crescendo (gradually getting louder).
- Understanding dynamics helps musicians create expressive performances.

**Topic 3: Harmony**
- Harmony refers to the chords and progressions that create a sense of movement in a piece of music.
- Chords can be major, minor, or diminished, among other types.
- Understanding harmony helps musicians create interesting and complex compositions.

**Glossary**
- Clef: a symbol used to indicate the pitch of a note.
- Note: a representation of the duration of a sound or silence in music.
- Rest: a representation of the duration of silence in music.
- Tempo: the speed at which a piece of music is played.
- Dynamics: the volume at which a piece of music is played.

CHICAGO — Illinois may have a new medical marijuana law on the books, and two other states may have approved the drug's recreational use, but the candidates for Illinois governor this year don't support legalizing it outright in their state.

Their positions on whether Illinois should extend its four-year medical cannabis pilot project are not so clear-cut, however, according to the candidates' answers to a campaign questionnaire sent to them by The Associated Press. Most Republicans said it was too early to decide, but a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor who suffers from multiple sclerosis said it should continue, as did a Democratic challenger to Gov. Pat Quinn.

The question of further legalization could arise on the 2014 campaign trail as sick Illinois patients start getting access to marijuana. Political experts say medical marijuana hasn't been a strictly partisan issue and there are other signs that Illinois could be willing to address full legalization, including Chicago loosening its punishment for those caught with pot.

"This is going to be a one-step-at-a-time issue," said Alan Gitelson, a Loyola University political science professor.

Quinn, who's seeking re-election, signed a law in August legalizing the use of medical marijuana on a trial basis for severely ill people. State officials must issue regulations before anyone can sign up, though.

Quinn, who didn't respond to the candidate questionnaire, explained at the signing that he liked the law's tight regulations and was moved to support it by testimony from a sick veteran. When asked about the issue Friday, he said only that the rule-making process will take time.

"I have a whole team looking at our law," he told AP after an event in Chicago. "It's going to take a little bit of time."

Quinn's office said Friday that he doesn't support legalization of marijuana for recreational use.

All other candidates for governor and lieutenant governor told AP that legalized recreational use of marijuana shouldn't be allowed.

Bruce Rauner and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford, both Republicans, simply wrote "No" when asked, "Should marijuana be legalized generally?"

Republican state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, who both voted against the medical marijuana legislation, explained themselves a little more. Dillard said he listens to law enforcement on the issue; a sheriff's association opposed the medical marijuana bill over concerns of motorists driving under the influence of marijuana.

Brady said the medical marijuana bill opens the door to legalization of recreational use.

"I am opposed to the general legalization of marijuana or any other controlled substances, which are currently subject to regulation and governance by the federal government," Brady said.

Rauner, a suburban venture capitalist, said he wouldn't push extending the four-year pilot program. But his candidate for lieutenant governor, Evelyn Sanguinetti, disagreed.

The Wheaton City Council member suffers from multiple sclerosis, an illness that she said she manages with daily medication.

"While marijuana does not provide a cure for those dealing with debilitating and terminal conditions, it has been known to provide relief to those dealing with the painful symptoms," Sanguinetti wrote in her questionnaire. "I'm okay with allowing them to continue to do so within the existing restrictions."

Rutherford said it's premature to consider an extension.

"We must remain cognizant of the fact that marijuana is illegal at the federal level, and this law was implemented over the objections of much of Illinois law enforcement," he said. "Illinois businesses will also be attempting to reconcile their drug policies with medical marijuana legalization."

Quinn's lone Democratic primary challenger, suburban Chicago activist Tio Hardiman, said he was also opposed to fully legalizing marijuana but approved of extending the pilot program.

In 2012, Chicago's City Council approved an ordinance allowing police to ticket people found with small amounts of marijuana instead of arresting them. Roughly a year later, the new medical marijuana measure was signed into law. It says only patients with serious illnesses or diseases will be allowed to obtain medical marijuana. The bill lists dozens of illnesses, such as cancer, muscular dystrophy and lupus. The patients must have established relationships with a doctor and will be limited to 2.5 ounces every two weeks.

Currently, 20 states and Washington, D.C., allow medical marijuana. Colorado and Washington state recently approved recreational marijuana use, the first two to do so.

Lesson: Introduction to Medical Marijuana

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of medical marijuana and its potential benefits.

**Introduction:** Medical marijuana refers to the use of marijuana plants to treat symptoms of illness or disease. It is a controversial topic, with some people arguing for its legalization while others oppose it. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of medical marijuana and its potential benefits.

**Section 1: What is Medical Marijuana?**

Medical marijuana is a plant that contains a chemical called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is responsible for the "high" that users experience when they smoke marijuana. However, it also has other properties that can help alleviate symptoms of certain medical conditions.

**Section 2: Potential Benefits of Medical Marijuana**

There is evidence to suggest that medical marijuana can be effective in treating a range of medical conditions. Some of these conditions include:

- Chronic pain: Medical marijuana can help reduce pain and inflammation in patients suffering from chronic pain.
- Nausea and vomiting: Medical marijuana can help alleviate nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy treatment.
- Seizures: Medical marijuana can help reduce seizures in patients with epilepsy.
- Appetite loss: Medical marijuana can help stimulate appetite in patients undergoing HIV/AIDS treatment.

**Section 3: Legal Status of Medical Marijuana**

The legal status of medical marijuana varies from state to state. In some states, it is legal to use medical marijuana with a doctor's prescription, while in others, it is still considered illegal. It is essential to check the laws in your state before using medical marijuana.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In conclusion, medical marijuana is a plant that contains THC, which has potential benefits in treating certain medical conditions. While it is still a controversial topic, more research is being conducted to understand its potential benefits fully. As with any medication, it is essential to consult with a doctor before using medical marijuana to ensure its safety and efficacy.

Lesson: Introduction to Photography

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Photography is the process of creating images using light and other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically or chemically on light-sensitive materials. It is a technique that has been used for centuries to capture moments in time, and today, it has become an essential part of our lives. From capturing memories to telling stories, photography has evolved into an art form that requires skill and knowledge.

In this lesson, we will explore the basics of photography, including the history of photography, the different types of cameras, and the principles of light and exposure.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

To understand photography, we need to know how cameras work. A camera captures light through a lens, which focuses the light onto a sensor or film. The sensor or film records the light as an image. There are two main types of cameras: digital and film. Digital cameras use a sensor to record images, while film cameras use light-sensitive material to capture images.

Let's look at an example. Suppose you want to take a picture of your friend. You bring out your camera and point it towards your friend. You adjust the settings on your camera to make sure the picture turns out well-exposed and in focus. Once you're satisfied with the settings, you press the shutter button to take the picture. The camera captures the light coming from your friend and records it onto the sensor or film. The resulting image shows your friend in the scene you captured.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now that we have a basic understanding of photography, let's apply our knowledge to real-world scenarios. Let's say you're going on a vacation and want to capture your experiences. You pack your camera gear and head out to explore. You take pictures of the beautiful landscapes, the interesting architecture, and the delicious food. You also take pictures of the people you meet along the way, capturing their stories and culture.

As you review your pictures, you notice that some of them are not sharp, while others are overexposed. You realize that you need to adjust your camera settings to get better pictures. You experiment with different settings, such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and find the perfect combination for each situation.

## Glossary

- Camera: A device that captures images using light and other electromagnetic radiation.
- Lens: A piece of glass or plastic that focuses light onto a sensor or film.
- Sensor: A light-sensitive component in a digital camera that records images.
- Film: A light-sensitive material used in film cameras to capture images.
- Exposure: The amount of light that reaches the sensor or film in a camera.
- Aperture: The opening in a lens that controls the amount of light that enters the camera.
- Shutter speed: The length of time that the camera's shutter is open to allow light to enter.
- ISO: A measure of the sensitivity of the sensor or film to light.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about the basics of photography, including the history of photography, the different types of cameras, and the principles of light and exposure. We also applied our knowledge to real-world scenarios, such as taking pictures on vacation. By understanding the fundamental concepts of photography, we can capture and preserve memories, tell stories, and express our creativity through images.

The Troubled 29-Year-Old Helped to Die by Dutch Doctors

August 9, 2018

(BBC) – These criteria may be more straightforward to apply in the case of someone with a terminal diagnosis from untreatable cancer, who is in great pain. And the vast majority of the 6,585 deaths from euthanasia in Holland in 2017 were cases of people with a physical disease. But 83 people were euthanised on the grounds of psychiatric suffering. So these were people – like Aurelia – whose conditions were not necessarily terminal. Aurelia Brouwers’ wish to die came with a long history of mental illness.

Lesson: The Right to Die - Euthanasia in Holland

Introduction:
Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of euthanasia in Holland and examine the debate surrounding the right to die.

Section 1: Background Information

Euthanasia has been a controversial topic for many years. In Holland, euthanasia was decriminalized in 2002, making it the first country in the world to do so. Since then, the number of people choosing to end their lives through euthanasia has increased significantly.

Section 2: The Law in Holland

In Holland, there are strict guidelines that must be followed when performing euthanasia. The patient must be over the age of 18, have a terminal illness, and be in unbearable pain. They must also make the request voluntarily and have the mental capacity to do so.

Section 3: The Debate

There are many opinions on whether or not euthanasia should be legal. Some people believe that it is a personal choice that should be respected, while others believe that it is wrong and goes against the sanctity of life. There are also concerns about the potential for abuse and the impact on vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and disabled.

Section 4: The Case of Aurelia Brouwers

Aurelia Brouwers was a 29-year-old woman who was granted the right to die by Dutch doctors. She had been struggling with mental illness for many years and ultimately decided that she could no longer live with the pain and suffering. Her case sparked a debate about the rights of individuals with mental illness to choose to end their lives.

Section 5: Conclusion

Euthanasia is a complex issue that raises many questions and concerns. While some people believe that it is a personal choice that should be respected, others believe that it goes against the fundamental value of life. As with any controversial topic, it is essential to consider all perspectives and engage in thoughtful discussion. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to form their own opinion on the matter.

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Pipe Reed for Your Performance

Introduction:
Pipe reeds are an essential component of a bagpipe player's equipment. They are responsible for producing the sound that comes out of the pipes. However, not all pipe reeds are created equal, and choosing the right one for your performance can be challenging. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of pipe reeds, their characteristics, and how to choose the one that suits your needs best.

Section 1: Understanding Pipe Reeds

Pipe reeds are made from various materials such as synthetic, brass, and copper. Each material has its unique properties that affect the sound produced.

- Synthetic reeds: These are the most common type of reeds used in bagpipes. They are made from a synthetic material that is designed to mimic the sound of natural reeds. Synthetic reeds are durable, consistent, and produce a bright, clear sound.

- Brass reeds: These reeds are made from brass and are known for their rich, warm tone. They are often used in traditional bagpipes and produce a deep, resonant sound.

- Copper reeds: Copper reeds are a newer innovation in the bagpipe world. They are made from copper and produce a bright, crisp sound with excellent clarity.

Section 2: Choosing the Right Pipe Reed

To choose the right pipe reed for your performance, you need to consider several factors, including the material, strength, and tone.

- Material: As mentioned earlier, synthetic, brass, and copper reeds produce different sounds. Consider which sound you prefer and choose the material that best suits your style.

- Strength: Pipe reeds come in different strengths, ranging from soft to hard. Soft reeds are easier to play but may not produce as much volume as hard reeds. Hard reeds require more air and effort to play but can produce a louder, richer sound.

- Tone: The tone of a pipe reed refers to its overall sound quality. Some reeds produce a bright, clear sound, while others produce a warmer, richer sound. Consider which tone you prefer and choose a reed that matches your style.

Core Value: Personal Recommendation

Lesson: Evaluating Real Estate

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about evaluating real estate. We will cover the basics of real estate evaluation, including what to look for when evaluating a property, how to determine its value, and common mistakes to avoid. This lesson is suitable for primary through high school students who are interested in learning about real estate evaluation.

Section 1: Understanding Real Estate Evaluation

Topic 1: What is Real Estate Evaluation?
Real estate evaluation is the process of determining the value of a piece of property. This can be done for various reasons, such as selling a house, buying a house, or simply wanting to know the worth of your property.

Topic 2: What to Look For When Evaluating a Property?
When evaluating a property, there are several factors to consider. These include the location, condition, size, and features of the property. Additionally, you should also consider the current market trends and the demand for properties in the area.

Topic 3: How to Determine the Value of a Property?
There are several methods that can be used to determine the value of a property. These include comparative market analysis, income approach, and cost approach. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and a professional appraiser will use a combination of these methods to arrive at an accurate valuation.

Section 2: Common Mistakes to Avoid

Topic 1: Not Considering the Neighborhood
One of the most common mistakes people make when evaluating a property is not considering the neighborhood. It is essential to look at the surrounding properties and compare them to the one you are evaluating. This will give you a better idea of the property's value.

Topic 2: Overlooking Maintenance Costs
Another mistake to avoid is overlooking maintenance costs. You should factor in the cost of repairs, maintenance, and upkeep when evaluating a property. This will help you get an accurate picture of the property's true value.

Topic 3: Ignoring Market Trends
Ignoring market trends is another common mistake people make when evaluating a property. It is crucial to stay up-to-date with the current market trends and how they may affect the value of the property.

Section 3: Practical Examples

Topic 1: Using a Formula to Calculate Value
Suppose you have a property that measures 1,500 square feet and has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a pool. To calculate its value, you can use the following formula:
Value = (Number of Bedrooms + 1) x (Square Footage + Garage Square Footage) + Lot Size x Price per Square Foot
Plugging in the numbers, we get:
Value = (3 + 1) x (1,500 + 300) + 8,000 x $150
Value = 4 x 1,800 + $1,200,000
Value = $7,200,000

Topic 2: Comparing Properties
To accurately evaluate a property, you need to compare it to similar properties in the area. Let's say you have a 2,000-square-foot house with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a pool. The nearest comparable property is a 1,800-square-foot house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and no pool. However, it sold for $1,500,000 six months ago. Based on this information, we can estimate that the property we are evaluating is worth around $1,500,000.

Conclusion:
Real estate evaluation is an essential skill that can help you make informed decisions when buying or selling a property. By considering the location, condition, size, and features of the property, and staying up-to-date with market trends, you can arrive at an accurate valuation. Remember to avoid common mistakes such as not considering the neighborhood, overlooking maintenance costs, and ignoring market trends. With these tips in mind, you can confidently evaluate real estate and make smart investment decisions.

The relationships among expected return and various liquidity measures are first examined theoretically in this paper. Under constant holding period, it is shown that the expected return is proportional to the bid-ask spread. Under constant expected return, the holding period is proportional to the bid-ask spread and the volume is inversely proportional to the bid-ask spread. Under constant bid-ask spread, the expected return is inversely proportional to the holding period and is also proportional to the volume.

Lesson: Understanding the Relationship Between Expected Return, Volume, Holding Period, and Bid-Ask Spread in Stock Market Investment

**Introduction:**

Investing in the stock market can be a great way to grow your money over time. However, it's essential to understand the relationship between various factors that affect the return on your investment. In this lesson, we will explore the connections between expected return, volume, holding period, and bid-ask spread in the Indonesian stock market.

**Theoretical Explanation:**

According to a research paper, there are certain relationships between the expected return and various liquidity measures in the stock market. Let's take a look at these relationships:

1. Under constant holding period, it is shown that the expected return is proportional to the bid-ask spread. This means that the wider the bid-ask spread, the higher the risk, and therefore, the expected return will be higher.

2. Under constant expected return, the holding period is proportional to the bid-ask spread and the volume is inversely proportional to the bid-ask spread. This means that the longer the holding period, the lower the risk, and the more volume there is in the market, the lower the bid-ask spread will be.

3. Under constant bid-ask spread, the expected return is inversely proportional to the holding period and is also proportional to the volume. This means that the shorter the holding period, the higher the risk, and the more volume there is in the market, the higher the expected return will be.

**Empirical Analysis:**

The research paper also analyzed the above relationships using five years of data from the Indonesian stock market. The results showed that the relationships between the expected return, volume, holding period, and bid-ask spread were consistent with the theoretical explanations.

**Conclusion:**

Understanding the relationship between these factors is crucial for making informed investment decisions. By considering the bid-ask spread, holding period, and volume, you can better assess the risk and potential return on your investment. Remember, the higher the risk, the higher the potential reward, but also the greater the possibility of loss. Use this knowledge to make smart investments and grow your wealth over time.

Lesson: Introduction to Tailoring and Customization

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about tailoring and customization, two important aspects of design that allow us to create unique and personalized items. We will explore the basics of tailoring, including the different types of fabrics and patterns, and how to choose the right ones for your project. We will also learn about the process of customization, including how to measure and fit a garment to your body, and how to add your own personal touches to a design.

### Section 1: What is Tailoring?
Tailoring is the process of creating custom-made clothing or accessories. It involves measuring and fitting a garment to a specific person's body, taking into account their unique measurements and preferences. Tailoring can be done by hand or with the help of a sewing machine, and it requires attention to detail and precision to ensure a perfect fit.

### Section 2: Types of Fabrics and Patterns
There are many different types of fabrics and patterns that can be used in tailoring. Some common types of fabrics include cotton, silk, wool, and denim. Each fabric has its own unique properties, such as durability, breathability, and flexibility. Patterns are also an important part of tailoring. They provide a guide for cutting and sewing the pieces of a garment together, and they can be used to create a variety of different styles and designs.

### Section 3: How to Choose the Right Fabric and Pattern
When choosing a fabric and pattern for a tailoring project, there are several factors to consider. First, think about the intended use of the garment. Will it be worn for casual activities or formal events? Next, consider the season and climate. For example, a lightweight fabric would be more appropriate for summer, while a heavier fabric would be better suited for winter. Finally, take into account the individual's body shape and style preferences. A good tailor will work with you to select the best fabric and pattern for your needs.

### Section 4: The Process of Customization
Customization involves creating a garment specifically for an individual's body measurements and preferences. This process typically begins with a consultation where the tailor takes measurements and discusses the desired style and fit. Once the initial measurements have been taken, the tailor will create a pattern that is unique to the individual. The pattern is then used to cut the fabric and sew the garment together, ensuring a perfect fit.

### Section 5: Adding Personal Touches
One of the benefits of tailoring is the ability to add personal touches to a design. This could include adding special details like embroidery or lace, or incorporating the individual's favorite colors or patterns. A good tailor will work with you to incorporate your unique style and preferences into the final design.

### Conclusion
Tailoring and customization are important aspects of design that allow us to create unique and personalized items. By understanding the basics of tailoring, including the different types of fabrics and patterns, and how to choose the right ones for your project, you can create stunning and one-of-a-kind garments. Whether you are looking to create a formal gown or a casual shirt, tailoring provides endless possibilities for self-expression and individuality.
