Lesson: Introduction to Tarot Cards

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Tarot cards are a deck of 78 cards that are used for divination and spiritual guidance. They are often used in tarot readings to gain insight into a person's past, present, and future. The cards are divided into two categories: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.

The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that represent major life events and archetypes. These cards are often seen as more powerful and significant than the Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards that are divided into four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. These suits represent different aspects of life, such as career, relationships, emotions, and material possessions.

## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
Let's say you are doing a tarot reading for someone who is trying to decide between two job offers. You could pull the Six of Wands for their current situation, indicating that they are in a position of power and success. You could then pull the Ten of Cups for the first job offer, representing a stable and fulfilling relationship with their coworkers. For the second job offer, you could pull the Ace of Swords, indicating that this job may be more challenging but also offer greater opportunities for growth and success.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
One common question when using tarot cards is whether or not to use reversed cards. Some readers believe that reversed cards should be used, while others believe that they should not. What are your thoughts on using reversed cards in a tarot reading? Do you think it adds more depth and insight to the reading, or does it take away from the accuracy of the reading?

Glossary:
- Major Arcana: The 22 cards that represent major life events and archetypes.
- Minor Arcana: The 56 cards that are divided into four suits and represent different aspects of life.
- Wands: The suit of wands represents career and ambition.
- Cups: The suit of cups represents emotions and relationships.
- Swords: The suit of swords represents intellect and communication.
- Pentacles: The suit of pentacles represents material possessions and finances.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about tarot cards and how they can be used for divination and spiritual guidance. We also explored some practical examples and real-world scenarios, as well as had a self-debating discussion on using reversed cards. By understanding the theoretical concepts and applying them to practical examples, we can gain a deeper understanding of tarot cards and how to use them effectively.

The highlight of the March 28 City Council meeting – which was pushed back a day because of the religious holiday – was supposed to be the public hearing on the city’s proposed $486 million municipal budget for 2013.

But since only three people at the council meeting – resident and taxpayer advocate Yvonne Balcer, City Business Administrator Jack Kelly, and Assistant Business Administrator/Budget Director Robert J. Kakoleski – seemed to fully understand or even care about the spending plan, this public hearing was overshadowed by a trio of tax abatements that were approved by the council later in the evening.

The council unanimously approved a 12-year tax abatement for the redevelopment of the vacant social services building at 100 Newkirk St. Two other 10-year abatements were approved by the council majority for developments downtown at 200 Greene St. and 160 Morgan St.

Ward E City Councilman and mayoral candidate Steven Fulop, who currently represents the ward where these latter two developments will be built, voted in opposition to these abatements. The remaining City Council members voted in favor of all three tax deals, arguing that the projects will general much-needed jobs for construction workers.

Lavarro: ‘The time is now’

Developers often enter into a tax abatement agreement, or payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT), to pay a separate fee to the city instead of paying fluctuating property taxes. This keeps their tax rate stable over a number of years. The amount they pay is sometimes equal to regular taxes, and can be based on a percentage of their profits. The money goes directly into the city budget and does not support local schools, although developers pay a nominal fee for county taxes.

The original intent of such deals was to draw developers to blighted areas.

The two developments planned for 200 Greene and 160 Morgan are both large-scale projects that are expected to produce hundreds of construction jobs. The project at 160 Morgan is also expected to add life to long-dormant plans to create the Powerhouse Arts District.

A development that will be built in three phases by Toll Bros., 160 Morgan will include 417 residential housing units in its first phase and will create 415 construction jobs during the first phase of development. The city anticipates there will be approximately 31 full-time and 12 part-time jobs in this phase.

_____________

The public hearing on the 2013 municipal budget was overshadowed by a trio of tax abatements that were approved by the council later in the evening.

____________

The development will also include a 500-plus seat theater, which will be maintained with the aid of a trust fund, to which the developer will contribute $1.1 million. The developer is also contributing $2.4 million to the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which enables the city to build affordable housing units throughout Jersey City. (Approximately $1.2 million of this contribution has already been made to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.)

In exchange, the city has approved a tax abatement package that will require Toll Bros. to pay 10 percent in revenue to the city in taxes in the first four years. Over the next four years the developer will pay to the city 12 percent of its revenue in municipal taxes. In the final two years of the abatement, the developer will pay 14 percent.

Ward A City Councilman Michael Sottolano, chairman of the Tax Abatement Committee, estimated that it will “take about 10 years to complete” all three phases of this project.

The second large-scale abatement approved last week was granted to 200 Greene St., a project that will generate approximately 700 construction jobs during the build-out of the 763-unit high rise.

“I normally don’t approve of abatements for developments near the waterfront,” said Councilman At-large Rolando Lavarro Jr. “But the sheer size of this project, and the large number of jobs that it will produce, outweighs opposition in this case.”

Developer Mack-Cali will contribute $1.5 million to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, as most developers do when granted a tax abatement from the city.

As in the case of 160 Morgan St., the developer of 200 Greene will also pay 10 percent in the first four years, 12 percent in years five through eight, and 14 percent in the last two years of the agreement.

The final abatement approved last week was for the conversion of an existing building into residential property.

An old social services building 100 Newkirk St., near Journal Square, will be converted into a residential housing development with 56 rental units. The Hopkins Group, the developer of this project, will contribute $84,000 to the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

Several development projects, including the Journal Squared development, have recently been approved for the Journal Square community, an area that saw little, if any, new development during the pre-recession housing boom in Jersey City.

“If shovels go in the ground anywhere in Journal Square it’s a good thing,” said Sottolano.

Lavarro agreed, but also sent a warning to developers.

“If there are other developers out there watching, and they are interested in getting an abatement from the city, Journal Square is an area where the is opportunity, so the time to get in is now, not 20 years from now, when there’s no risk to developing in this area.”

About that budget…

Balcer was the only member of the public who chose to speak at the public hearing regarding the budget. Balcer, who had read every single line item in the budget document, asked questions about several expenditures that concerned her. The glassy-eyed council members either zoned out or caught up on e-mail as Balcer, a retired math teacher, raised questions about the city’s bonds and debt.

The dozens of construction workers who had shown up to express support for the approved construction projects nearly drowned Balcer out with conversation.

At present, the proposed $486 million spending plan does not include a tax increase.

The 2013 municipal tax levy, according to Kakoleski, is $201,968,235, some $17,836 less than last year. The municipal tax rate for every $1,000 of assessed valuation of property is $3.47.

This amount pertains only to municipal taxes. This figure does not include the amount of money property owners pay to the school system. The Board of Education recently approved a budget of $660 million for the 2013-2014 school year that includes at two percent tax increase.

The municipal budget is often amended several times before it is passed and can include an increase when adopted.

Lesson: Understanding Municipal Budgets

Introduction:
A municipal budget is a financial plan that outlines the estimated revenues and expenditures of a city or town for a specific period, usually a year. It is an essential tool for managing resources and ensuring that public services are delivered efficiently. In this lesson, we will explore the components of a municipal budget, how it is created, and its impact on the community.

Section 1: Components of a Municipal Budget

1.1 What is included in a municipal budget?
A municipal budget includes revenue sources such as property taxes, sales taxes, and fees, as well as expenditures such as salaries, benefits, and supplies. It also includes capital improvements, debt service, and contingency funds.

1.2 How is the budget created?
The budget is created through a collaborative process involving the mayor, city council, and department heads. They review the previous year's budget, analyze current economic conditions, and identify priorities for the upcoming year.

Section 2: Understanding the Budget Process

2.1 What is a public hearing?
A public hearing is a meeting where members of the public can voice their opinions on a proposed budget. This is an opportunity for residents to express their concerns and suggestions about how their tax dollars will be spent.

2.2 What is a tax abatement?
A tax abatement is a reduction or exemption from paying property taxes for a certain period. It is often granted to encourage economic development or redevelopment in a specific area.

Section 3: Impact of the Budget on the Community

3.1 How does the budget impact the community?
The budget impacts the community in several ways. It determines the level of services provided, such as public safety, education, and infrastructure maintenance. It also affects the tax rate, which determines how much residents pay in property taxes. Finally, the budget reflects the priorities of the city government and can influence the direction of the community's development.

Conclusion:
Understanding the municipal budget is crucial for citizens who want to be informed about how their tax dollars are spent and how public services are delivered. By participating in public hearings and engaging with local government, residents can help shape the budget and ensure that it reflects the needs and priorities of the community.

Lesson: Introduction to Pediatric Emergency Medicine

### Section 1: Overview of Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Pediatric emergency medicine is a subspecialty of emergency medicine that focuses on the care of children who come to the emergency department with acute illnesses or injuries. This field requires a unique set of knowledge and skills, as children are not just small adults but have distinct physiologic and developmental differences that affect their healthcare needs.

### Section 2: Common Pediatric Emergencies

Some common pediatric emergencies include respiratory distress, shock, trauma, and special health care needs. Respiratory distress refers to difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, which can be caused by a variety of conditions such as asthma, pneumonia, or heart failure. Shock is a life-threatening condition characterized by inadequate blood flow to the body's organs, which can result from severe blood loss, sepsis, or anaphylaxis. Pediatric trauma involves injuries caused by accidents or violence, which can range from minor cuts and bruises to severe fractures and organ damage. Children with special health care needs may require additional support and resources due to chronic conditions such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, or congenital heart disease.

### Section 3: Psychomotor Skills in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Psychomotor skills are physical actions and movements that are performed to complete a task or procedure. In pediatric emergency medicine, these skills are essential for performing procedures such as intubation, chest compressions, and IV placement. Some examples of psychomotor skills stations include:

- Rapid sequence intubation: A simulated scenario where the learner must quickly and accurately insert a breathing tube into a child's airway under the guidance of an instructor.
- Chest compressions: A hands-on station where learners practice the proper technique for compressing the chest of a child in cardiac arrest.
- IV placement: A skills station where learners practice inserting an intravenous line into a child's vein, including proper sterile technique and needle placement.

### Glossary

- Asthma: A chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing.
- Anaphylaxis: A severe allergic reaction that can cause life-threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and swelling of the face and throat.
- Congenital heart disease: A group of birth defects that affect the heart's structure and function.
- Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that causes the production of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and other organs, leading to chronic lung infections and respiratory problems.
- Diabetes: A chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to produce or use insulin properly.
- Pneumonia: An infection of the lungs that can cause symptoms such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing.
- Sepsis: A life-threatening condition caused by the body's overwhelming response to infection, which can lead to organ failure and death if not treated promptly.

### Conclusion

Understanding the unique aspects of pediatric emergency medicine and developing the necessary skills to care for children in the emergency department is crucial for healthcare providers. By mastering the knowledge and psychomotor skills outlined in this lesson, you will be well-equipped to provide high-quality care to children in need.

Lesson: How to Paint a Door

## Introduction

Learning how to paint a door can save you money and give you the satisfaction of doing it yourself. In this lesson, we will cover the steps involved in preparing and painting a door, including choosing the right paint, priming the surface, applying the paint, and finishing touches.

## Materials

- Paint (choose a color and finish)
- Primer
- Sandpaper (for sanding the surface)
- Filler (to fill any holes or imperfections)
- Paintbrushes (various sizes for different tasks)
- Paint rollers (for applying paint to large surfaces)
- Painter's tape (to protect the edges and trim)
- Drop cloths (to cover the floor and surrounding areas)

## Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Before you start painting, you need to prepare the surface of the door. This involves removing any hardware, filling any holes or imperfections, and sanding the surface smooth.

1. Remove the door hardware (handles, hinges, etc.) and set them aside.
2. Fill any holes or major imperfections with a good quality filler. Allow the filler to dry completely.

Lesson: Introduction to Documentary Photography

## Section 1: What is Documentary Photography?

Documentary photography is a type of photography that aims to tell a story or convey a message about a particular subject or issue. It is often used to raise awareness about social, political, or environmental issues. Documentary photographers capture moments and events that are often overlooked by society, and they use their images to educate and inspire change.

## Section 2: Why is Documentary Photography Important?

Documentary photography is important because it allows us to see the world through the eyes of others. It helps us understand different cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives. By sharing these stories, documentary photographers can create empathy and understanding between people from all walks of life. Documentary photography also serves as a historical record, preserving important moments in time for future generations to learn from.

## Section 3: How does Documentary Photography Work?

Documentary photography involves planning, researching, and executing a photo shoot. Photographers must first identify a subject or issue they want to document. They then research the topic to gain a deeper understanding of the context and the people involved. Once they have gathered enough information, photographers plan their shoot, considering factors such as lighting, composition, and accessibility. Finally, they take photos that accurately represent the subject matter while still telling a compelling story.

## Section 4: Types of Documentary Photography

There are several types of documentary photography, including:

1. Social Documentary: This type of photography focuses on capturing the everyday lives of people and communities, often in underprivileged or marginalized situations.
2. Photojournalism: This type of photography covers news events and tells stories through images.
3. Humanitarian Photography: This type of photography raises awareness about humanitarian issues, such as poverty, disease, and conflict.
4. Fine Art Documentary: This type of photography combines artistic expression with documentary storytelling.

## Section 5: Conclusion

Documentary photography is a powerful tool for storytelling and raising awareness about important issues. By learning about the principles and techniques of documentary photography, we can better understand the world around us and use our own photography to make a difference.

Methotrexate: a drug of the future in ulcerative colitis?
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that is thought to affect 1780000 patients in USA and Europe. Its incidence is increasing rapidly in Asia. Drugs with proven clinical activity that are currently used in UC patients include salicylates, steroids, azathioprine and infliximab. None of them is active in every patient and all carry significant side effects. There is a need for other active drugs in UC. Low dose methotrexate has been used for decades in psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. In these diseases, it is an active, well tolerated and cheap drug. In UC there have been several open series, most of which are retrospective. Overall, these studies have shown promising results, with response rates of 50 to 72 %. There have been two randomized clinical trials of methotrexate vs placebo in UC. Both were negative but methotrexate was prescribed orally at suboptimal doses. So far, there is no evidence for the efficacy of methotrexate in UC. Therefore, there is a need for clinical trials with methotrexate using adequate dosage and the parenteral route. Two multicenter randomized trials of methotrexate 25 mg/week parenterally vs placebo are either ongoing (METEOR, the European trial) or being built up (MERIT, the US trial). These trials should determine if methotrexate is a valuable therapeutic option in UC.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Methotrexate for Ulcerative Colitis

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Methotrexate is a drug that has been used for decades to treat various inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn's disease. It is an immunosuppressive drug that works by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins in cells. This prevents the growth and reproduction of cells, which can help reduce inflammation in the body.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
Methotrexate has shown promise in treating ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Several open series studies have demonstrated promising results, with response rates ranging from 50% to 72%. However, there have only been two randomized clinical trials of methotrexate versus placebo in ulcerative colitis, both of which were negative. This may be due to the fact that the drug was prescribed at suboptimal doses in these trials.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
In clinical practice, low-dose methotrexate has been shown to be effective in inducing and maintaining remission in patients with ulcerative colitis. It is generally well-tolerated, with the most common side effects being mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea. However, there is a risk of more serious side effects, such as bone marrow suppression and liver toxicity, which require close monitoring by a healthcare professional.

### Glossary
- Ulcerative colitis: a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and sores in the lining of the large intestine.
- Immunosuppressive: a drug that suppresses the immune system and reduces its ability to fight infections and inflammation.
- DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that carries genetic information in cells.
- RNA: ribonucleic acid, a molecule that plays a role in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.
- Protein: a large molecule made up of amino acids that performs a wide range of functions in living organisms.

### Conclusion
Methotrexate is a promising drug for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, with evidence from multiple studies demonstrating its effectiveness. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal dosage and treatment regimen for this condition. As with any medication, there are potential side effects and risks associated with methotrexate, which must be carefully managed by a healthcare professional. Nonetheless, the potential benefits of this drug make it a promising option for patients suffering from ulcerative colitis.

Phaeobacter aquaemixtae sp. nov., isolated from the junction between the ocean and a freshwater spring.
A Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped or ovoid bacterial strain, designated SSK6-1(T), was isolated from the zone where the ocean and a freshwater spring meet at Jeju island, South Korea. Strain SSK6-1(T) grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0-7.5 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SSK6-1(T) clustered with Phaeobacter daeponensis TF-218(T) and Phaeobacter caeruleus LMG 24369(T), exhibiting sequence similarities of 98.6 and 98.3 %, respectively. The novel strain exhibited sequence similarities of 94.6-97.8 % to the type strains of other recognized species of the genera Phaeobacter and Leisingera. Strain SSK6-1(T) contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain SSK6-1(T) were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain SSK6-1(T) was 64.6 mol% and its DNA-DNA relatedness values with P. daeponensis TF-218(T) and P. caeruleus were 21 and 25 %, respectively. The differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain SSK6-1(T) is separate from recognized Phaeobacter species. On the basis of the data presented, strain SSK6-1(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Phaeobacter, for which the name Phaeobacter aquaemixtae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SSK6-1(T) ( = KCTC 32538(T) = CECT 8399(T)).

Romeo and Juliet (1964 film)

Romeo and Juliet () is a 1964 film directed and written by Riccardo Freda.

Production
Riccardo Freda maintained that it was himself who had the idea to adapt Romeo and Juliet, having been an admirer of William Shakespeare since his youth and that he convinced Goffredo Lombardo who had gone bankrupt after the production of Sodom and Gomorrah to create the production company Imprecine and set up a co-production deal with Spain for this film and Genoveffa di Brabante. Other sources such as Stefano Della Casa state that Freda was commissioned to shoot a Shakespeare adaptation by the Spanish company Hispamer Films, and accepted only as it would allow him to make a period drama, which he could inject elements of his favourite genre, the adventure film. The film reinvents the Montague and Capulets as land and cattle owners with disputes over land pastures. Minutella had suggested that the elements are borrowed from Sergio Leone's Westerns of the period, which Italian film critic and historian Curti stated was impossible as the films were only released days apart from each other.

Geronimo Meynier was cast as Romeo in the film, which was his final acting role. Originally, Brett Halsey was going to play the lead, with Halsey stating that Freda planned to shoot the film in English in four weeks and feared he would not have adequate time for rehearsal and turned down the role, which led to Freda and him not speaking for years.

Romeo and Juliet was shot in Madrid and Ávila. Ruggero Deodato was an assistant director on set, and claimed that "Freda was a genius. I learned a lot from him. He was an intelligent person, cultured, and even a bit nasty on the set. He mistreated the crew, and to film a good chase on horseback, he did not hesitate to cripple the horses , even though he owned a stable... he always came up with ideas which I hadn't thought of, both on set as in the editing room."

Release
Romeo and Juliet was released in Italy on 28 August 1964 where it was distributed by Titanus. The film grossed, 50 million Italian lire domestically which Curti described as "disappointing" and that the film "remained virtually unknown abroad." A few years later director Franco Zeffirelli directed his own adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, which Freda commented on later stating that "No one harmed Shakespeare more than Zeffirelli".

Lesson: The Importance of Narrative in Literature

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the importance of narrative in literature. We will examine how storytelling techniques are used to create compelling and engaging stories that capture our imagination. We will also discuss the role of narrative in conveying meaning and sharing experiences.

Section 1: What is Narrative?
Narrative refers to the telling of a story or event. It is a way of organizing and presenting information to create a coherent and meaningful sequence of events. Narratives can take many forms, including novels, short stories, plays, films, and even oral traditions.

Section 2: Why is Narrative Important?
Narrative is important because it allows us to make sense of the world around us. By telling stories, we can share our experiences, beliefs, and values with others. Narratives can also help us understand complex ideas and concepts by providing a framework for understanding them.

Section 3: Types of Narratives
There are many different types of narratives, including:
- Fictional narratives: These are made up stories that entertain or educate readers.
- Historical narratives: These tell the story of real events that happened in the past.
- Scientific narratives: These explain scientific concepts and discoveries through stories.
- Autobiographical narratives: These are based on the author's own life experiences.

Section 4: Elements of Narrative
Narratives typically include characters, setting, plot, and theme. Characters are the people or animals who inhabit the story, while the setting is the time and place in which the story takes place. Plot refers to the series of events that make up the story, while theme is the underlying message or meaning of the story.

Section 5: Examples of Narrative in Literature
One example of narrative in literature is the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story follows the character Jay Gatsby as he tries to win back his former love, Daisy Buchanan. The novel is set in the 1920s and explores themes of wealth, social class, and the American Dream.

Another example is "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This novel tells the story of a young girl named Scout Finch and her father, a lawyer, who defends a black man accused of raping a white woman. The novel explores themes of race, prejudice, and justice.

The park is designed to accommodate businesses from various sectors and is located near a major transportation hub, making it easy for them to move products and materials in and out of the area.

### Section 4: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios

Let's say a company has a warehouse located in a logistics park that is 24 km from the capital's inner center. The company wants to calculate the distance between its warehouse and the capital's inner center. Using the formula for distance, we can calculate the distance as follows:

Distance = Speed x Time

Since we know that the speed of light is constant, we can use this formula to calculate the distance traveled by light in one second. The formula for speed of light is:

Speed of Light = 299,792,458 meters per second

Therefore, the distance traveled by light in one second is:

Distance = 299,792,458 meters per second x 1 second

= 299,792,458 meters

This is the distance that light travels in one second, which is approximately 186,282 miles or 300,000 kilometers.
