RealTalk – My Sister’s Keeper

Thanks to everyone who attended RealTalk – “My Sister’s Keeper” Dinner Chat! The combination of great dialogue and delicious food created a memorable evening.

Many of you who did not attend have personally shared your views with us on this topic. You all expressed the importance of having this conversation and how it’s a start to healing broken relationships among women. However when given an opportunity to share your perspective on our discussion boards, many of you hid in the shadows and remained silent.

As we ponder your choice not to share the wisdom you profoundly shared privately, we asked ourselves why you chose to hide in the shadows? The situation reminds us of a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr – Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Ladies, in order to improve our relations with each other we must come out of the shadows. We must be willing to address “root issues” that hinder our relations. Light, which is wisdom, is what drives out darkness. Love is what drives out hate for self and others.

We believe that open and honest dialogue is a portal to change. We encourage you to let your light shine and openly have this discussion with your girlfriends. They need to hear your wisdom and your story of struggle and triumph. Let the healing begin and let’s propel sisterhood forward!

**If you or your organization would like to host an event on this topic, we have an event design just for you! We offer both online and face to face event designs. Contact us today to schedule a “free” event consultation.**

Lesson: Introduction to OpenD6 System

**Overview:**
The OpenD6 system is a role-playing game system that uses a six-sided dice (D6) for resolution. It is designed to be easy to learn and play, while still providing depth and flexibility for players and game masters. In this lesson, we will introduce the basic mechanics of the OpenD6 system, including character creation, skill use, and combat.

**Section 1: Character Creation**

**Theory:**
In OpenD6, characters are created by assigning points to attributes, skills, and advantages. Attributes represent a character's physical and mental abilities, while skills represent their knowledge and expertise in specific areas. Advantages are special abilities or equipment that a character possesses.

**Practice:**
Let's create a character named John. We will assign him the following attributes: Strength (3), Agility (2), Intellect (3), and Willpower (4). We will also give him the following skills: Melee (2), Stealth (2), and Investigation (2). Finally, we will give John the advantage of a Blaster Pistol.

**Glossary:**
- Attribute: A measure of a character's physical or mental ability.
- Skill: A measure of a character's knowledge or expertise in a specific area.
- Advantage: A special ability or piece of equipment possessed by a character.

**Section 2: Skill Use**

**Theory:**
In OpenD6, characters use their skills to perform actions. When a character attempts a task, they roll a number of D6 equal to their skill level, adding any appropriate modifiers. If the result of the roll is equal to or greater than the target number, the action is successful.

**Practice:**
Let's say John wants to sneak up on an enemy. He will need to use his Stealth skill. He rolls 2 D6 and gets a result of 8. The target number for this task is 10. Since 8 is equal to or greater than 10, John successfully sneaks up on the enemy.

**Glossary:**
- Modifier: A number added to or subtracted from a roll to adjust the difficulty.
- Target number: The number that must be rolled to succeed at a task.

**Section 3: Combat**

**Theory:**
In OpenD6, combat is resolved using a combination of attributes and skills. Each weapon has a damage rating, which determines how much damage it does when it hits. Characters also have armor ratings, which determine how much damage they can take before being injured.

**Practice:**
Let's say John is in a fight with an enemy. The enemy attacks him with a melee weapon, rolling 3 D6 and getting a result of 9. John has armor with a rating of 5. He rolls his Armor (3) skill and gets a result of 7. He subtracts the enemy's attack result from his armor result, getting 2. Since 2 is less than the enemy's damage rating, John takes 3 points of damage.

**Glossary:**
- Damage rating: The amount of damage a weapon does when it hits.
- Armor rating: The amount of damage a character can take before being injured.

**Conclusion:**
In this lesson, we introduced the OpenD6 system, including character creation, skill use, and combat. By understanding these basic mechanics, players and game masters can create exciting adventures and stories. As you continue to explore the OpenD6 system, remember to think critically about the decisions your character makes and to always have fun!

**Glossary:**
- Attribute: A measure of a character's physical or mental ability.
- Skill: A measure of a character's knowledge or expertise in a specific area.
- Advantage: A special ability or piece of equipment possessed by a character.
- Modifier: A number added to or subtracted from a roll to adjust the difficulty.
- Target number: The number that must be rolled to succeed at a task.
- Damage rating: The amount of damage a weapon does when it hits.
- Armor rating: The amount of damage a character can take before being injured.

[Ca2+ homeostasis in mammalian cells].
The cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) is one of the most important factors in the regulation of the cellular activity. We therefore studied in this work the changes of [Ca2+]i during muscle excitation with optical techniques in intact smooth muscle preparations. Also the relation between [Ca2+]i, the phosphorylation of the myosin light chain and the force development in phasic and tonic smooth muscle during excitation-contraction coupling was investigated. We concluded that the changes of [Ca2+]i and force are not invariably tightly coupled during stimulation in spite of the fact that the increase of [Ca2+]i is the primary regulator of smooth muscle contraction. Agonists may, besides their Ca2+ mobilizing effect, also modulate the sensitivity of the regulatory-contractile apparatus for Ca2+. Ca(2+)-release from the internal stores during activation may modulate its further depletion. We demonstrated that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor is controlled by luminal Ca2+. These observations allowed us to develop a model whereby Ca2+ oscillations during submaximal stimulation could be explained. This model of control by luminal Ca2+ also explained why the release in response to a low Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration suddenly stops at a time when there is still plenty of Ca2+ in the internal stores. We furthermore showed that these Ca2+ channels in the SR are controlled by the redox-status of the cell. The study of Ca2+ extrusion was mainly focused on the Ca2+ pump of the plasma-membrane and its regulation by negatively charged phospholipids. Our main finding was that the plasma-membrane Ca2+ pump was stimulated by negatively charged phospholipids. Finally, we started the investigation of the existence of Ca2+ gradients between nucleus and cytoplasm in intact cells with confocal laser microscopy. We demonstrated in different cell types the existence of spatio-temporal differences in the Ca2+ distribution between nucleus and cytosol in basal and stimulated conditions. These observations indicate that a Ca2+ barrier must be present at the nuclear envelope, that different Ca2+ mobilizing phenomena are present and are in favour of the existence of a specific regulation of nuclear Ca2+.

Lesson: Introduction to Calcium Homeostasis in Mammalian Cells

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Calcium (Ca2+) is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and hormone secretion. In mammalian cells, the concentration of cytoplasmic free calcium ions ([Ca2+]i) is tightly regulated to maintain homeostasis. This is achieved through several mechanisms, including the release of calcium from intracellular stores, the uptake of calcium from the extracellular environment, and the activation of enzymes that either promote or inhibit calcium signaling.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
One of the most important aspects of calcium homeostasis is its role in muscle contraction. In smooth muscles, the increase in [Ca2+]i is the primary regulator of contraction. When a muscle is stimulated, calcium ions are released from intracellular stores, which leads to the binding of calcium to troponin, a protein that controls the interaction between actin and myosin. This binding causes the release of myosin-binding sites on actin, allowing myosin to form cross-bridges and generate force.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
In addition to its role in muscle contraction, calcium homeostasis is also important in other physiological processes. For example, the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores can activate the enzyme phospholipase C, which in turn generates inositol trisphosphate (IP3). IP3 then binds to receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum, causing the release of calcium ions into the cytoplasm. This process is essential for processes such as neurotransmitter release and hormone secretion.

### Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
One of the challenges in studying calcium homeostasis is the complexity of the cellular processes involved. For example, the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores can be influenced by various factors, including the presence of certain signaling molecules and the activation of specific enzymes. Additionally, the regulation of calcium homeostasis can be affected by genetic mutations, which can lead to diseases such as muscular dystrophy and epilepsy.

### Glossary
- Calcium (Ca2+): A mineral that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including muscle contraction and nerve transmission.
- Cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i): The concentration of calcium ions in the cytoplasm of a cell.
- Intracellular stores: Compartments within a cell where calcium ions are stored when they are not being used for signaling.
- Extracellular environment: The space outside of a cell.
- Troponin: A protein that controls the interaction between actin and myosin in muscle contraction.
- Cross-bridges: Structures formed between actin and myosin when calcium ions bind to troponin.
- Phospholipase C: An enzyme that generates inositol trisphosphate (IP3) in response to the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores.
- Endoplasmic reticulum: A network of membranous compartments within a cell that stores calcium ions and releases them in response to IP3.

### Conclusion
Understanding calcium homeostasis in mammalian cells is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind various physiological processes, including muscle contraction and hormone secretion. By studying the regulation of [Ca2+]i and its effects on force development, we can gain valuable insights into the complex interplay between cellular processes and signaling pathways.

After a couple driver installations, PowerPage testers have enabled the Griffin iMate to build a better mouse trap. A few days ago, we tested the Kensington Thinking Mouse connected through the iMate ADB-to-USB convertor connected through the ADS USB PC Card. With both the iMate driver and the Kensington MouseWorks driver installed, we can now use all four buttons on the Thinking Mouse in their full clicking-and-chording glory.. The down side to using the Thinking Mouse is that its drivers accelerate the trackpad to the point where it is too fast to use.. Griffin recommends that you have the ADB devices plugged in when you start up the PowerBook so that the ADB-device-specific drivers, such as the Kensington driver, recognize the device.. In other USB testing news, the Iomega USB Zip drive had no problems working with the ADS USB PC Card.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Patient Safety

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Patient safety refers to the prevention of errors, accidents, and injuries that occur while patients are undergoing medical care. It is a critical aspect of healthcare delivery that ensures that patients receive the best possible care without any harm.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
One practical example of patient safety is hand hygiene. Hand hygiene is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of infections in healthcare settings. Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers must wash their hands before and after touching a patient or handling medical equipment. This simple act can reduce the risk of infections by up to 50%.

Another example is medication administration. Medication errors can lead to severe complications, including death. To prevent these errors, healthcare providers must ensure that they prescribe the correct medication, dosage, and route of administration. They must also verify the patient's medical history, allergies, and current medications before prescribing any medication.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
In a real-world scenario, a patient is admitted to the hospital with a fever and a cough. The doctor orders a chest X-ray to determine the cause of the symptoms. However, the X-ray machine is not functioning correctly, and the technician fails to notice the error. As a result, the doctor misinterprets the X-ray and diagnoses pneumonia instead of a lung cancer.

The patient undergoes surgery to remove the tumor but dies on the operating table due to an undiagnosed blood clot in the lungs. In this scenario, patient safety was compromised due to the malfunctioning X-ray machine and the technician's failure to notice the error.

## Section 4: Critical Thinking
Why is patient safety crucial in healthcare delivery?

A. Patient safety ensures that patients receive the best possible care without any harm.
B. Patient safety prevents medical errors, accidents, and injuries that may occur while patients are undergoing medical care.
C. Patient safety reduces healthcare costs and improves patient outcomes.

Answer: All of the above.

## Glossary
- Patient safety: The prevention of errors, accidents, and injuries that occur while patients are undergoing medical care.
- Hand hygiene: The act of washing hands before and after touching a patient or handling medical equipment to prevent the spread of infections.
- Medication errors: Errors in prescribing, dispensing, or administering medication that can lead to severe complications, including death.
- Chest X-ray: A diagnostic imaging test that uses electromagnetic radiation to produce images of the heart, lungs, and chest wall.
- Lung cancer: A type of cancer that begins in the lungs and may spread to other parts of the body.
- Blood clot: A clump of blood that has solidified in a blood vessel, blocking blood flow.

## Conclusion
Patient safety is a critical aspect of healthcare delivery that ensures that patients receive the best possible care without any harm. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and real-world scenarios, we can develop a deeper appreciation for the importance of patient safety and its impact on healthcare outcomes. By applying the skills gained from this topic, we can work towards creating a safer and more effective healthcare system for all patients.


text: The objective of this research is to explain why the anterior chamber of the eye is a so-called "privileged site." From our previous work in rats and rabbits showing a mononuclear cell infiltrate within an implant, it is evident that the host does mount an early immune response to skin alloimplants into the anterior chamber but that rejection is delayed. The period of survival is relative to the degree of histoincompatibility between the donor and recipient. Since implants placed into the anterior chamber of the eye of orthotopic skin allograft sensitized rats are rapidly rejected, it appears that primary allografts placed into the anterior chamber produce serum factors which prevent the rapid destruction of the graft by the host lymphocytes. The search continued for either serum blocking or suppressor cells will be performed by in vivo experiments utilizing adoptive transfer and graft versus host techniques. In vitro studies will include blocking of both cell mediated reactions and complement mediated serum cytotoxicity reactions. Studies will be performed to explore the possibility of using implants in the anterior chamber of the eye to augment immunosuppression. Principles learned from studies of the anterior chamber of the eye will be applied to other privileged sites of the body.

Lesson Title: The Anterior Chamber of the Eye

Introduction:
The anterior chamber of the eye is a specialized area that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of our eyes. In this lesson, we will explore the unique properties of the anterior chamber and discuss why it is considered a "privileged site" in the field of immunology.

Section 1: The Anatomy of the Anterior Chamber

The anterior chamber of the eye is a small space located between the cornea and the iris. It contains aqueous humor, a clear fluid that helps maintain the shape of the eye and provides nutrients to the surrounding tissues. The anterior chamber is surrounded by a thin layer of cells called the limbal cells, which help protect the eye from infection and injury.

Section 2: The Immune System and the Anterior Chamber

The immune system is responsible for protecting our bodies from infection and disease. However, it must also be careful not to attack our own tissues. The anterior chamber of the eye is considered a "privileged site" because it has special protections that allow it to evade the immune system's defenses. These protections include the production of anti-inflammatory molecules and the presence of specialized cells that help regulate the immune response.

Section 3: Experimental Evidence for the Privileged Status of the Anterior Chamber

Researchers have conducted several experiments to investigate the immune properties of the anterior chamber. For example, they have found that when allografts (transplanted tissue) are placed into the anterior chamber of the eye, they are not immediately rejected by the immune system. Instead, the immune system seems to be "tolerant" of these transplants, allowing them to survive for longer periods of time.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, the anterior chamber of the eye is a specialized area that has evolved to evade the immune system's defenses. This privileged status allows for the successful transplantation of tissues into this area, which could potentially lead to new treatments for vision loss and other eye conditions. By understanding the unique properties of the anterior chamber, scientists can continue to explore ways to protect and enhance its functions.

Glossary:
- Anterior Chamber: The space between the cornea and the iris of the eye.
- Aqueous humor: The clear fluid that fills the anterior chamber of the eye.
- Limbal cells: The thin layer of cells that surrounds the anterior chamber of the eye.
- Immune system: The body's defense against infection and disease.
- Allograft: Transplanted tissue from another individual.
- Tolerance: The ability of the immune system to accept foreign tissues without attacking them.

Self-Debate:
Why is the anterior chamber of the eye considered a "privileged site" in the context of immunology?

Answer: The anterior chamber of the eye is considered a "privileged site" because it has special protections that allow it to evade the immune system's defenses. These protections include the production of anti-inflammatory molecules and the presence of specialized cells that help regulate the immune response. This allows for the successful transplantation of tissues into this area, which could potentially lead to new treatments for vision loss and other eye conditions.

Q:

How do i hide columns with formula output 0 without changing the formula to value

I'm new to this and I am trying to unhide all columns then hide the columns that contain on one row the number "0", the problem is that number is a result of a formula.
This is what I tried:
Sub main()
Rows("1:1").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Dim Col As Range
For Each Col In Columns("E:EX")
    For Each Row In Rows("9:9")
        Col.Hidden = Col.Find("0", , xlFormulas, xlWhole, , , False) Is Nothing
    Next
Next
End Sub

The result of the code above is that all those columns(E:Ex) get hidden.

A:

You're on the right track, kinda but few details / improvements to be made
Private Sub hide_zeroes()

  Dim ws as Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets("Your sheet name") '<- edit me
  Dim lc as Long: lc = ws.Cells(9, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column 'last active Column
  Dim i as Long

  For i = 1 to lc 'from first till last colummn
     If ws.Cells(9, i) = "0" Then 'if 9th row of Column [i] is 0 Then
         ws.Columns(i).EntireColumn.Hidden = True 'hide entire column
     End If
  Next i

End Sub

It's good practice to end your For loops with the variable you're looping. Helps to keep the code readable and makes you avoid unnecessary errors in nested loops
For i = 1 to 99
   'some code
Next i 'note the i <-

You don't need to check whether it's a formula, just check if the value inside the cell
It's good practice to declare variable names for every variable you're using, or better yet, use Option Explicit (first line of your code) to enable something akin to a "strict mode"

Lesson: Hiding Columns with Formula Output 0

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to hide columns that contain the result of a formula as "0". This can be useful when working with large datasets where you want to remove rows or columns that don't contain any useful information.

Objective:
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to hide columns with formula output 0 without changing the formula to value.

Prerequisites:
You should have a basic understanding of Excel formulas and functions.

Section 1: Understanding the Problem

Problem Statement:
We want to hide columns that contain the result of a formula as "0". However, if we change the formula to value, it will no longer update automatically when the data changes.

Solution:
 We can use the "Find" function to check if a cell contains a value of "0" due to a formula. If the value is "0" due to a formula, we can hide the column.

Section 2: Implementing the Solution

Step 1: Identify the range of cells to be checked
We need to identify the range of cells that we want to check for the value of "0". This can be done by selecting the entire sheet or a specific range.

Step 2: Check for the value of "0"
We can use the "Find" function to check if a cell contains a value of "0" due to a formula. If the value is "0" due to a formula, we can hide the column.

Step 3: Hide the column
Once we have identified the range of cells that contain the value of "0" due to a formula, we can hide the column by using the "Hide" function.

Section 3: Practical Examples

Example 1:
Suppose we have a sheet with columns A to Z and we want to hide columns that contain the result of a formula as "0". We can use the following code:

```
Sub hide_zeroes()
  Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1") '<- edit me
  Dim lc As Long: lc = ws.Cells(9, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column 'last active Column
  Dim i As Long

  For i = 1 To lc 'from first till last colummn
     If ws.Cells(9, i) = "0" Then 'if 9th row of Column [i] is 0 Then
        ws.Columns(i + 1).Hidden = True
     End If
  Next

End Sub
```

Example 2:
Suppose we have a sheet with columns A to Z and we want to hide columns that contain the result of a formula as "0". We can use the following code:

```
Sub hide_zeroes()
  Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1") '<- edit me
  Dim lc As Long: lc = ws.Cells(9, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column 'last active Column
  Dim i As Long

  For i = 1 To lc 'from first till last colummn
     If ws.Cells(9, i) = "0" Then 'if 9th row of Column [i] is 0 Then
        ws.Columns(i + 1).Hidden = True
     End If
  Next

End Sub
```

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to hide columns that contain the result of a formula as "0" without changing the formula to value. We can use the "Find" function to check if a cell contains a value of "0" due to a formula. If the value is "0" due to a formula, we can hide the column by using the "Hide" function. We also saw some practical examples of how to implement this solution.

Title: Understanding Liquid Crystals

Introduction:
Liquid crystals are fascinating materials that exhibit properties between those of conventional liquids and solid crystals. They are used in various applications such as display technologies, sensors, and optical devices. In this lesson, we will explore the anisotropic elasticity of a dendrimeric liquid crystal, which is a type of liquid crystal with a tree-like structure.

Section 1: Anisotropic Elasticity
Elasticity is a measure of how easily a material can be deformed. In liquid crystals, the elasticity is highly anisotropic, meaning that it varies depending on the direction in which it is measured. This is due to the unique molecular structure of liquid crystals, which causes them to respond differently to forces applied in different directions.

Question: Why is the elasticity of liquid crystals anisotropic?
Answer: The elasticity of liquid crystals is anisotropic because their molecules are arranged in a specific orientation, causing them to respond differently to forces applied in different directions.

Question: What is the difference between isotropic and anisotropic elasticity?
Answer: Isotropic elasticity means that the material's elasticity is the same in all directions, while anisotropic elasticity means that the elasticity varies depending on the direction in which it is measured.

Section 2: Dendrimeric Liquid Crystals
Dendrimeric liquid crystals are a type of liquid crystal that has a tree-like molecular structure. These molecules are arranged in a hierarchical fashion, with branches radiating out from a central core. This structure gives dendrimeric liquid crystals unique properties that make them useful in various applications.

Question: What is a dendrimeric liquid crystal?
Answer: A dendrimeric liquid crystal is a type of liquid crystal that has a tree-like molecular structure, with branches radiating out from a central core.

Section 3: Measuring Elastic Constants
To study the anisotropic elasticity of a dendrimeric liquid crystal, scientists use a technique called Freedericksz measurements. These measurements involve applying a magnetic or electrical field to the liquid crystal and measuring how it responds. By analyzing the response, researchers can determine the elastic constants of the liquid crystal, which describe how easily it can be deformed.

Question: What are elastic constants?
Answer: Elastic constants are measures of how easily a material can be deformed. They are used to describe the behavior of materials under stress.

Question: How do Freedericksz measurements work?
Answer: Freedericksz measurements involve applying a magnetic or electrical field to a liquid crystal and measuring how it responds. By analyzing the response, researchers can determine the elastic constants of the liquid crystal.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we explored the anisotropic elasticity of dendrimeric liquid crystals. We learned about the unique molecular structure of these materials and how their elasticity varies depending on the direction in which it is measured. We also discussed the techniques used to measure elastic constants and how they can be used to study the properties of liquid crystals. By understanding these concepts, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the fascinating world of liquid crystals and their potential applications.

text: Jason over at True Food Solutions has a great post I thought I’d share about building a simple cold frame garden box to keep your garden active even through the cold winter months.. I had a bed of lettuce still growing – volunteers from my harvesting of seeds from the spring crop – and I didn’t want to let it die when we could have fresh salad through the winter. So I grabbed two of the storm window panes I had picked up in a batch from someone on Craigslist, took measurements, and built a cold frame to fit the window dimensions.. A cold frame is a simple and inexpensive way to enjoy fresh vegetables without having a full greenhouse.

Lesson: Building a Cold Frame Garden Box

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to build a cold frame garden box to extend our garden season into the winter months. A cold frame is a simple and inexpensive way to enjoy fresh vegetables without having a full greenhouse.

Section 1: What is a Cold Frame?
A cold frame is a structure that provides protection to plants from the cold weather. It is usually made of wood or metal and has a transparent top that allows sunlight to enter. The transparent top allows the temperature inside the cold frame to be warmer than the outside temperature, which helps the plants grow even during the coldest months.

Section 2: How to Build a Cold Frame Garden Box
Materials:
- Wood (or other sturdy material)
- Clear plastic sheeting
- Hinges and latches
- Storm window panes or other transparent material

Instructions:
1. Measure the dimensions of the window panes and cut two pieces of wood to those dimensions.
2. Attach the clear plastic sheeting to the wood using hinges and latches.
3. Add a layer of insulation, such as straw or foam board, to the bottom of the cold frame to help retain heat.
4. Place the cold frame over the garden bed where you want to grow your vegetables.
5. Fill the cold frame with soil and plant your seeds or seedlings.

Section 3: How to Use Your Cold Frame Garden Box
1. Choose vegetables that grow well in cool temperatures, such as lettuce, spinach, and kale.
2. Plant your seeds or seedlings in the fall, so they have time to grow before the winter months.
3. Open the cold frame during the day to allow fresh air to circulate and close it at night to retain heat.
4. Water your plants regularly, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause root rot.
5. Harvest your vegetables as needed and enjoy fresh salads even during the winter months!

Conclusion:
Building a cold frame garden box is a simple and inexpensive way to extend your garden season into the winter months. By choosing the right vegetables and taking care of them properly, you can enjoy fresh salads and other vegetables even when it's cold outside. This skill can be applied to other areas of life, such as finding ways to continue enjoying activities even when conditions are unfavorable.


text: Estadísticas de Olas para Hideaway, diciembre: Todo Oleaje – Todo Viento. The graph shows the range of swells directed at Hideaway over a normal December. It is based on 2953 NWW3 model predictions since 2006 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast surf and wind right at the coast so we have chosen the best grid node based on what we know about Hideaway. In the case of Hideaway, 10% Hideaway and offshore. We lump these in with the no surf category of the bar chart. To keep it simple we don't show these in the rose graph. Because wind determines whether or not waves are clean enough to surf at Hideaway, you can load a different image that shows only the swells that were predicted to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. During a typical December, swells large enough to cause surfable waves at Hideaway.

Lesson: Introduction to Surfing and Oceanography

**Objective:** Understand the basics of surfing and oceanography, including wave formation, swell direction, and wind conditions.

**Lesson Outline:**

1. What is surfing?
2. How do waves form?
3. What is swell direction?
4. What is wind and how does it affect surfing?

**Section 1: What is surfing?**

Surfing is a popular water sport where participants ride waves on a board. It originated in Hawaii and has become a global pastime enjoyed by millions of people.

**Section 2: How do waves form?**

Waves are formed by wind blowing over the surface of the ocean. As the wind blows, it causes the water to move in a circular motion, creating a wave. The size and shape of the wave depend on several factors, including the strength of the wind, the depth of the water, and the distance across the ocean.

**Section 3: What is swell direction?**

Swell direction refers to the direction from which waves are coming. It is an important factor to consider when planning a surfing trip, as certain beaches are more suited to certain types of waves.

**Section 4: What is wind and how does it affect surfing?**

Wind is the movement of air, and it plays a crucial role in the formation of waves. When the wind blows over the ocean, it causes the water to move in a circular motion, creating waves. However, strong winds can also create choppy conditions, making it difficult to surf. Therefore, it is essential to check the wind forecast before going surfing.

**Conclusion:**

Understanding the basics of surfing and oceanography can help you make informed decisions about when and where to go surfing. By considering factors such as wave formation, swell direction, and wind conditions, you can ensure that you have the best possible experience out on the water.

Lesson: Understanding Nutritional Information on Food Packaging

Introduction:
Food packaging often contains information about the nutritional content of the product. This information can help us make informed decisions about what we eat and drink. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand nutritional information on food packaging.

Section 1: Understanding Nutritional Information

Topic 1: Types of Nutrients
Nutritional information on food packaging usually includes the amount of different types of nutrients in the product. These nutrients can be divided into two main categories: macronutrients and micronutrients.

Macronutrients are nutrients that our bodies need in relatively large amounts. They include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Micronutrients, on the other hand, are nutrients that our bodies need in smaller amounts. These include vitamins and minerals.

Topic 2: Reading Nutritional Information
Nutritional information is usually presented in a table or chart on the back of the food packaging. The table will list the amount of each nutrient per serving size. It's important to note the serving size because it affects the rest of the nutritional information.

To understand the nutritional information, we need to know the serving size and the amount of each nutrient per serving. For example, if the serving size is one slice, we would look at the amount of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in one slice.

Topic 3: Understanding Nutritional Labels
Nutritional labels can be confusing, especially if we don't know what to look for. Here are some common terms and abbreviations found on nutritional labels:

- Calories (kcal): This is the amount of energy in the food.
- Total Fat: This refers to the total amount of fat in the food.
- Saturated Fat: This refers to the amount of saturated fat in the food. Saturated fats are usually unhealthy.
- Cholesterol: This refers to the amount of cholesterol in the food. High cholesterol levels can lead to health problems.
- Sodium (Na): This is the amount of sodium in the food. Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure.
- Total Carbohydrate: This refers to the total amount of carbohydrates in the food.
- Dietary Fiber: This is the amount of fiber in the food. Fiber is good for our health.
- Sugars: This refers to the amount of sugars in the food. Some sugars are natural, while others are added.
- Protein: This is the amount of protein in the food. Protein is necessary for growth and repair of tissues.

Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's take a look at an example of nutritional information on a food packaging:

| Nutrient | Amount per Serving |
|---------|-------------------|
| Calories | 120               |
| Total Fat | 2g                |
| Saturated Fat | 1g             |
| Cholesterol | 0mg            |
| Sodium  | 230mg            |
| Total Carbohydrate | 24g    |
| Dietary Fiber | 3g           |
| Sugars      | 10g            |
| Protein   | 2g              |

In this example, the serving size is 1 package (28g). We can see that there are 120 calories in one package, 2g of total fat, 1g of saturated fat, 0mg of cholesterol, 230mg of sodium, 24g of total carbohydrates, 3g of dietary fiber, 10g of sugars, and 2g of protein.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Topic 1: Why is it important to read nutritional information on food packaging?
- It helps us make informed decisions about what we eat.
- It allows us to compare products and choose the healthiest option.
- It helps us avoid foods that are high in unhealthy nutrients.

Topic 2: How can we use nutritional information to make healthier choices?
- Look for foods that are low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol.
- Choose foods that are high in dietary fiber and protein.
- Avoid foods that are high in added sugars.

Conclusion:
Understanding nutritional information on food packaging is an important skill that can help us make healthier choices. By reading and understanding nutritional labels, we can make informed decisions about what we eat and drink.
