Online forum users

I'm going to be updating this blog regularly soon. Lately there have been a lot of things that have come up with friends of mine, and I feel that if I'm writing about them, then I can find out things myself.

Here, I'm going to be talking about Catholic related topics only. I have other blogs specific to other topics, like entertainment, health, design, Narnia and more.

GregMarone, a user of this site from the Chicagoland area is hoping to start one! Check out his post in the forums! I hope that he is able to accomplish this, as more great Catholic bands are something that I'm looking forward to hearing from!

Last weekend, I went to a Youth Ministry conference on "Prayer and Praise."

It was a really cool way to learn about prayer and creating prayer sessions for meetings and retreats. We also learned how to plan for things based on specific topics. It's crazy how much we learned in just two days. The facilitator, Stan Cordero, was awesome and had everything well laid out.

This was the first of an 8 session course that I would LOVE to be able to finish up. We'll see!

It's been a busy year since the trip to Ireland. Lots has happened, and lots more is still to come, I am sure.

I hope to have a chance to start really hammering out the changes to this website to make it a hopping place to be, but we'll see. Hopefully, 2008 will be the year that this site starts moving in a direction to take off.

If you've read the previous entry about our absolutely incredible Hotel stay, you have some idea of what I'm talking about. Each day, when entering the bathroom, I would notice that the tissue was a bit disheveled. It looked like someone had accidentally taken a few too many tissues out of the box and tried shoving the rest back in.

This is a phrase that I coined early on in our trip when we really discovered how wonderful our hotel in Ireland was....

Granted, any hotel with a name like The Great Southern Dublin AIRPORT Hotel, is not going to be the most expensive or best accommodation. In fact, it was the cheapest to be found rated at three and a half stars, so we took our chances....

Today was indeed our last day to see the hustle and bustle of Dublin, ride the wonderful and long public transportation, and see the rolling green hills. But, we did all of these! It was a long day, full of fun which taught me a few things...

1. Don't rely on public transportation to make a fast and speedy trip

2. Check times of the attractions you want to see (again, refer to number one)

3. Try different Irish foods when you are here, it will be worth it whether you like it or not

Alas, our last full day in Ireland was today, but it was a great day. We spent a few hours of the morning in and around downtown Dublin before our bus departed for Glendalough, home of the Wicklow Mountains National Park. The ride to the park was beautiful as we saw the rolling hills and grassy plains of the Irish countryside, full of sheep, horses, and cows. The scenery we saw today was much more accurate to the images that come to my mind when I think of Ireland and was a nice escape from the bustling city of Dublin.

MLK Day March remarks

Good morning. My name is Michael Schill. I am the president of the University of Oregon. Thank you, Eric Richardson, for inviting me to speak today. What a great and inspiring day this is!

I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the teachings and strive for the aspirations of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior — than by walking hand in hand with my neighbors, community partners, colleagues, students and friends.

We stand united in our belief that we must do much more to make Dr. King’s dream of equity, justice, inclusion and diversity a reality. The University of Oregon is committed to this work, not just because it is right and just, but because adhering to these values make us a better institution and are essential to our mission of teaching, research and service.

Listening to the words of the many speakers here and seeing the faces of the many young people who marched through town this morning, I am moved and inspired. I hear in their voices and see in their eyes determination and hope, resilience and passion, but also trepidation. This is also what I hear and see from many of our students at the University of Oregon.

I have learned a lot from our Black students and other students of color at the UO over the last year and a half as president. I’ve learned from our Black faculty, staff and community members as well.

In fact, I think and hope the entire University of Oregon community and people our nation have had their eyes opened wide about the continuing legacy of racism and bigotry in America thanks to the Black Lives Matter movement. These lessons are ongoing, but we know that education and understanding is an important step in making change.

I’d like to share with you some of the lessons I and the UO community have learned in the last year.

I have learned a lot of about the unique experiences of our Black students, faculty and staff. I’ve spent a good part of my life as an attorney, professor, and academic leader working to ensure access, equity, and justice in housing and education for underrepresented populations. I’ve lived and taught in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and LA., but living in Eugene and leading our university has offered a whole new perspective.

What many of our students have told me is that when they look around and see very few people who look like they do, or find very few people who have similar backgrounds, it is extremely alienating and isolating. They feel that they are repeatedly called upon to represent their race, a burden that their white counterparts do not share.

And those white students, they themselves are harmed by our lack of diversity. The genius of American higher education is that we learn from each other. Without sufficient diversity, all students are shortchanged.

I have also learned that actions speaker louder than words.

As many of you many remember in the fall of 2015, a group of students under the banner of the Black Students Task Force, rallied on our campus and presented me with a list of demands. I meet with and correspond with our Black student leaders many regularly, and today I walked with them, and they have made it very clear that they want to see progress.

Last spring year we announced that we were moving forward with many of the demands and we implemented a series of change on our campus including:

We removed the name of a Ku Klux Klan leader from one of the resident halls on campus.

We expanded efforts to attract and recruit African American and Black students through a new African American Opportunities Program.

We have invited six Black Greek letter organizations to the UO.

We have created an African American residential student community. The Umoja Pan-African Scholars Academic Residential Community is now home to 25 scholars in the Living-Learning Center.

We are creating new African American advisory boards for retention and advising, as part of our student leadership teams.

We launched an African American lecture series on campus. Our fourth speaker, acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates, will be on campus next month.

We expanded information about the demographics of the populations of our campus and posted it online.

And the College of Arts and Sciences has established a new African American cluster faculty hiring program focused on Black literature, history and women and gender studies.

For all of these initiatives, we are working hard to ensure that these changes are meaningful, lasting and not merely symbolic.

I have also learned that change takes more than just desire and commitment, it needs planning, resources and action.

To that end, the University of Oregon has developed a strategic framework called IDEAL for implementing our institutional goals of hiring more diverse faculty and staff, attracting more diverse students, helping these students succeed, and making our teaching and research more inclusive, equitable and diverse.

We have challenged and required all of the leaders of our units and schools at the UO—our deans, vice presidents and the president too—to tell us how they are going to achieve these goals and how we can hold them accountable if they do not. These diversity action plans are due in spring and meaningful change must start right away.

Another lesson of the last year, these issues are hard and nuanced. Being well intentioned is not enough. We must seek input, perspective and consider the impact of our actions.

As many of you know, when a law professor chose to dress in blackface at a Halloween party in a misguided attempt to draw attention to the lack of black doctors, she deeply hurt and offended many people in our community.

She forced our campus to take a hard look at how we balance the essential need of freedom of expression and academic freedom with the rights of our students to be free from racial harassment.

I may have the right to express my opinion, even controversial opinions because that is at the core of our ability to learn and question, but I do not have the right through my speech to deny you your right be free from racial harassment.

A final lesson I have learned in the last year is how smart, courageous and strategic our black students and their allies are. They have challenged the status quo in a way that balanced their desire for change with an understanding of how institutions work. In doing this, they have made more progress than I guess they ever could have expected.

More needs to be done at the University of Oregon. And Lord knows, more needs to be done to make Martin Luther King’s dream a reality.

I look forward to working with our students, our faculty and our community on this mission. Thank you.

" Bernie Sanders looks like a paper tiger. I swear the media made this guy seem like a bona fide candidate for the Democratic nomination, but suddenly with a small loss in Nevada he is buried alive," the " Mad Money " host said.

While the primary catalyst in Cramer's opinion was oil and futures, there was another factor that he thinks is being overlooked by everyone.

So what the heck happened that made things better?

It was just 10 days ago when it seemed to Jim Cramer that the world was falling apart, and there was intense pressure to sell everything and buy Treasurys. Now, that panic seems to have faded away with Monday's production of a terrific rally.

Cramer thinks perhaps the media kept Sanders in the spotlight because it wanted a horse race, but now that Hillary Clinton has won a large number of super-delegates — that might be mathematically impossible.

This change created clarity in the presidential race, which was good news for the stock market.

"Knocking out Sanders … allows Hillary to go back to her roots as a moderate who is actually friendly, or at least takes the money of Wall Street," Cramer said.

Cramer Remix: Beware of this oil stock

Cramer: You should have listened to these CEOs

Cramer game plan: Retail earnings ready to run

Additionally, Cramer noted that the media is trying to keep the narrative alive for Marco Rubio. This has created the possibility of a pro-business Democrat versus a pro-business Republican.

It is true that Donald Trump has not had great things to say about banks. But Cramer thinks that as long as Sanders was a strong competitor in the presidential race, people could expect a steady stream of negativity against the banks and drug companies.

Meanwhile, Clinton has spent a lot of time with people from Wall Street both from hedge funds and investment banks. It doesn't mean she is owned by them, but Cramer does think it means that there is more dialogue than both Sanders and President Obama offered.

Wall Street is aware of Clinton's more moderate stance, and Cramer attributed the dramatically changed presidential landscape to the reason why so many drug and bank stocks were soaring on Monday.

It was also confirmed that Honeywell was in talks to purchase United Technologies, to dominate the aerospace and climate control space. While Cramer thinks this idea is brilliant, he did not know if the deal could ever be compensated because of antitrust issues.

However Cramer did speculate that Honeywell's discussions could reveal that the big capitalization cyclicals are dramatically undervalued in the market.

So even if both presidential candidates claim not to be a friend on Wall Street, Cramer interpreted the combination of two pro-business candidates emerging, oil rising, earnings forgiveness, a Chinese story that hasn't become more negative and increased M&A activity as the reason for stocks suddenly turning around.

"It is a stunning turn and it cannot be dismissed out of hand, even as it may not reflect anything but short-term considerations," Cramer said.

Lesson: Primary and Secondary Sources in Research

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about primary and secondary sources in research. We will explore what they are, their differences, and how they can be used to gather information.

Primary Sources:
Primary sources are original documents or artifacts that provide firsthand information about an event, person, or thing. They are created at the time when the event happened or soon after by someone who has direct knowledge or experience of the subject. Examples of primary sources include diaries, letters, photographs, interviews, speeches, government documents, and artifacts.

Secondary Sources:
Secondary sources are interpretations and analyses of primary sources or other secondhand information. They are created by someone who did not directly experience or witness the event, person, or thing being studied. Examples of secondary sources include books, articles, documentaries, biographies, encyclopedias, and textbooks.

Differences:
The main difference between primary and secondary sources is that primary sources provide direct evidence or firsthand information, while secondary sources provide interpretation and analysis of that information. Another difference is that primary sources are usually more reliable than secondary sources because they are closer to the original event or person.

Examples:
Let's say you are researching the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. A primary source could be a speech given by Martin Luther King Jr. during that time, while a secondary source could be a book written about the movement by a historian.

Practical Application:
Understanding the difference between primary and secondary sources is important when conducting research. When searching for information, it is essential to use both types of sources to get a well-rounded understanding of the topic. Primary sources provide direct evidence, while secondary sources provide analysis and interpretation. By combining both types of sources, you can gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, primary and secondary sources are essential tools in research. Primary sources provide direct evidence, while secondary sources provide interpretation and analysis. By using both types of sources, you can gain a well-rounded understanding of a topic. Remember to always critically evaluate your sources to ensure that the information you are using is accurate and reliable.


text: The depth and complexity of all the "Know Your Customer" (KYC) and "anti-money laundering" (AML) rules, regulations, and compliance hurdles are having another side effect.. Banks are firing their smaller (less profitable) clients.. According to Reuters, the regulator is concerned that Merrill Lynch and Charles Schwab did not do enough to check clients were using their true identities. It also suspects them of accepting shell companies and fake addresses, which are often used by criminals to move funds illegally. It is not clear what type of criminals may have channeled illegal funds through Merrill Lynch, but sources claimed that Charles Schwab was used to launder funds for Mexican drug cartels..

Lesson Title: Introduction to Money Laundering

Introduction:
Money laundering is the process of converting money obtained from criminal activities into legitimate funds. This is done to hide the origin of the money and make it appear as if it comes from a legal source. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of money laundering, including the methods used, the role of banks, and the steps involved in the process.

Section 1: Methods of Money Laundering

Topic 1: Placement
Placement refers to the initial step of moving money obtained from criminal activities into the financial system. This can be done through various means, such as depositing cash into bank accounts, purchasing assets, or making investments.

Topic 2: Layering
Layering involves hiding the identity of the criminal by creating complex financial transactions that make it difficult to trace the money back to its original source. This can be done through the use of offshore accounts, shell companies, and other legal entities.

Topic 3: Integration
Integration is the final stage of the money laundering process, where the laundered money is reintroduced into the legitimate economy. This can be done through the purchase of assets, such as real estate or businesses, or through the transfer of funds to other individuals or organizations.

Section 2: The Role of Banks
Banks play a crucial role in the money laundering process, as they are responsible for processing and transferring funds. However, they are also required to follow strict anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) laws to prevent the use of their services for illicit activities.

Topic 1: KYC and AML Laws
KYC laws require banks to verify the identity of their customers and monitor their transactions for any suspicious activity. AML laws go further by requiring banks to report any suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities.

Topic 2: Due Diligence
Due diligence is the process of conducting thorough background checks on customers to ensure that they are who they claim to be and that their funds are legitimate. Banks must perform due diligence on all new customers and continue to monitor existing customers for any changes in behavior or circumstances that may indicate potential money laundering activity.

Section 3: Steps Involved in the Money Laundering Process
The money laundering process typically involves three steps: placement, layering, and integration.

Step 1: Placement
Criminals deposit their ill-gotten gains into bank accounts or other financial institutions.

Step 2: Layering
They then use complex financial transactions to hide the identity of the criminal and make it difficult to trace the money back to its original source.

Step 3: Integration
Finally, the laundered money is reintroduced into the legitimate economy through the purchase of assets, such as real estate or businesses, or through the transfer of funds to other individuals or organizations.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, money laundering is a serious crime that has far-reaching consequences for society. By understanding the methods used, the role of banks, and the steps involved in the process, we can better identify and prevent money laundering activities. As students, it is important that we remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.

Tailor-made shaping of microcatheters using three-dimensional printed vessel models for endovascular coil embolization.
Stabilization of microcatheters during coiling after their optimal shaping are key factors for successful endovascular coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms. However, stabilization and optimal shaping of microcatheters are sometimes difficult. Our aim was to introduce "tailor-made" microcatheter shapes for coil embolization using three-dimensional (3D) printed vessel models. Since August 2014, we have been investigating the use of 3D printed models of intracranial arterial aneurysms to produce optimally shaped microcatheters for endovascular coil embolization. Using Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine data obtained from preoperative cerebral angiography, a vessel model was produced with a 3D printer using acrylic resin. Preoperative planning of microcatheter navigation and shaping were performed using the 3D vessel models. Before the procedure, microcatheter mandrels were bent manually to the intended angle, referring to the vessel model, and then sterilized. The 3D vessel models were also sterilized with plasma and used during the procedure. Twenty-six patients (27 aneurysms) were treated using a total of 48 microcatheters shaped while referring to the 3D printed vessel model. Of the 48 catheters, only 9 (19%) required modification of the initial shape due to inappropriate positioning of the catheter. Only 29% of the catheter placements required repositioning due to catheter kick back. There were no procedure-related complications, including aneurysm rupture. The responses from assistants to a questionnaire administered after the embolizations on the usefulness of the technique were favorable. Tailor-made shaping of microcatheters may facilitate easier and safer procedures in coil embolization of intracranial aneurysm.

Lesson Title: Introduction to 3D Printing in Medicine

Introduction:

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that creates three-dimensional objects from digital models. In medicine, 3D printing has revolutionized the field by enabling the production of customized medical devices, prosthetics, and even organs. This lesson will introduce students to the concept of 3D printing in medicine and its applications in creating tailor-made shaping of microcatheters for endovascular coil embolization.

Section 1: Understanding 3D Printing in Medicine

Topic 1: What is 3D Printing?

- 3D printing is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from digital models by adding material layer by layer.
- It is also called additive manufacturing because it adds material instead of removing it like traditional manufacturing methods.

text: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that promotes cell proliferation, motility, survival, and morphogenesis. HGF binds to its receptor c-Met tyrosine kinase and triggers signal transduction that protects cells against apoptosis and enhances cell growth for tissue regeneration. The profound effects of HGF to prevent cell death and to promote tissue regeneration make HGF an interesting drug candidate for therapeutic use. However, the activation of c-Met by HGF also leads to enhanced tumor metastasis and invasion. This pro-invasive feature of HGF has raised concerns regarding its clinical applications. It would be ideal to separate the beneficial cell-protective signals from the pro-invasive signals of HGF. To test this possibility, Michieli et al., (2002) created a recombinant single-chain chimera consisting of a truncated HGF a-chain and a truncated MSP (macrophage-stimulating protein, a cytokine with high homology to HGF) a-chain linked by a short polypeptide linker, termed Metron factor-1 or MF-1. This chimeric HGF-MSP protein can bind to HGF receptor c-Met and MSP receptor Ron independently and elicit a biological signal only through Met-Ron heterodimerization. MF-1 prevents liver or renal damages and enhances liver or kidney regeneration, without inducing tumor metastasis and growth. MF-1 has a short plasma half-life (one hour) and is not suitable for development as therapeutic agent with the common i.v. or s.c. administration route. However, it does provide a unique approach to separate the beneficial organ-protective signaling from undesired pro-invasive signals in HGF-Met pathway. We have designed and constructed a number of novel heterodimeric Fc fusion proteins (trophokines) that can induce Met-Ron heterodimerization. Each of our novel trophokine contains an HGF-Fc and MSP-Fc fusion proteins, which form heterodimers through the knobs-to-holes designed into the CH3 domains of their IgG1 Fc regions. Due to this unique design, each trophokine protein contains one c-Met binding site and one Ron binding site to induce c-Met and Ron heterodimerization. We predict that these newly designed molecules would be able to prevent cell apoptosis and promote tissue regeneration. We also expect elimination of pro-invasive or scattering effects of HGF on cells so that these novel proteins will not promote tumor metastasis or tumor growth. Most importantly, trophokine will have significantly improved plasma half-life and will have easy manufacturing, purification, and other downstream development processes. These novel proteins are likely to provide therapeutic benefit to patients in a wide range of pathological conditions, such as liver cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, renal failure, wound healing, and chemotherapy-induced liver or renal damage. We have successfully expressed four designed trophokine fusion proteins and are currently conducting biochemical and biological characterizations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Trophokine is a novel protein that can protect tissue damage and promote organ regeneration. Trophokine can provide therapeutic benefit to patients with a wide range of diseases, such as liver cirrhosis and failure, renal failure, pulmonary fibrosis, wound healing, and chemotherapy-induced liver or renal damage. These diseases affect millions of Americans and have unmet needs for new therapies.

Lesson Title: The Role of Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) in Cell Proliferation and Tissue Regeneration

Introduction:
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, motility, survival, and morphogenesis. It is also involved in tissue regeneration, making it an interesting drug candidate for therapeutic use. However, HGF has both beneficial and detrimental effects on cells.

Section 1: The Role of HGF in Cell Proliferation and Tissue Regeneration

Topic 1: HGF and Cell Proliferation
HGF promotes cell proliferation by binding to its receptor c-Met tyrosine kinase and triggering signal transduction. This process protects cells against apoptosis and enhances cell growth, leading to tissue regeneration.

Topic 2: HGF and Tissue Regeneration
HGF plays a critical role in tissue regeneration by promoting cell migration, differentiation, and survival. It stimulates the production of new blood vessels and helps in the repair of damaged tissues.

Topic 3: The Activation of c-Met by HGF
When HGF binds to its receptor c-Met, it activates a signaling cascade that leads to the phosphorylation of specific proteins inside the cell. This activation enhances cell survival and growth, which is essential for tissue regeneration.

Section 2: The Dual Role of HGF in Cancer Metastasis

Topic 4: HGF and Cancer Metastasis
Although HGF has beneficial effects on cell proliferation and tissue regeneration, it also has a dark side. The activation of c-Met by HGF can lead to enhanced tumor metastasis and invasion, which is a major cause of cancer death.

Topic 5: The Challenge of Separating Beneficial and Detrimental Effects of HGF
To separate the beneficial cell-protective signals from the pro-invasive signals of HGF, researchers have developed a chimeric HGF-MSP protein that can bind to both c-Met and MSP receptor Ron independently. This protein elicits a biological signal only through Met-Ron heterodimerization, allowing for the potential separation of beneficial and detrimental effects of HGF.

Section 3: Critical Thinking Questions

1. How does HGF promote cell proliferation and tissue regeneration?
2. What is the role of c-Met tyrosine kinase in HGF signal transduction?
3. How does HGF activation lead to enhanced tumor metastasis and invasion?
4. What are the challenges in separating beneficial and detrimental effects of HGF?
5. How does the chimeric HGF-MSP protein elicit a biological signal only through Met-Ron heterodimerization?

Conclusion:
In conclusion, HGF plays a critical role in cell proliferation, tissue regeneration, and cancer metastasis. Understanding the complex effects of HGF on cells can help researchers develop targeted therapies that harness the beneficial effects while minimizing the detrimental effects. By developing a chimeric HGF-MSP protein that separates the beneficial and detrimental effects of HGF, researchers can potentially create a powerful drug candidate for therapeutic use.

Lesson: Introduction to Air Coolers

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

An air cooler is a device that cools air using the principle of vapor-compression refrigeration. It works by removing heat from the air inside a room and transferring it outside. This process involves the following steps:

1. Compression: The refrigerant gas is compressed in the compressor, raising its temperature and pressure.
2. Condensation: The hot gas is passed through a condenser coil, where it loses heat to the surrounding air and condenses into a liquid.
3. Expansion: The liquid refrigerant is passed through an expansion valve, which reduces its pressure and temperature.
4. Evaporation: The cold liquid refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator coil, absorbing heat from the air inside the room.

Air coolers are used in various applications, such as refrigerators, freezers, and cold storage facilities. They can also be used for industrial processes that require precise temperature control.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example of using an air cooler in a refrigerator. The refrigerator uses a DL series air cooler, which is designed for temperatures around 0°C. The refrigerator has a capacity of 20 cubic feet and operates at a constant temperature of 35°F (1.7°C).

1. Calculate the required refrigeration capacity (BTU/hour) needed to maintain this temperature.
   To calculate the refrigeration capacity, we need to use the formula: R = Q/W, where R is the refrigeration capacity, Q is the heat removed from the fridge, and W is the work done by the compressor. We can assume that the efficiency of the compressor is 90%, so W = 0.9 * Q.
   R = Q/(0.9Q)
   R = 1/0.9
   R = 1.11
   So, the required refrigeration capacity is 1.11 times the heat removed from the fridge.

2. Determine the heat removed from the fridge (in BTU/hour).
   We can use the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat removed, m is the mass of the air inside the fridge, c is the specific heat capacity of air (0.24 kJ/kg·K), and ΔT is the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the fridge.
   Assuming the density of air is 1.2 kg/m³ and the temperature difference is 35°F (1.7°C), we can calculate the heat removed as follows:
   Q = mcΔT
   Q = (1.2 kg/m³)(0.24 kJ/kg·K)(1.7°C)
   Q = 0.508 kJ/s
   Converting to BTU/hour: Q = 0.508 kJ/s * 1000 J/kWh * (1 BTU/1.06 kWh) = 530 BTU/hour

3. Calculate the work done by the compressor (in watts).
   Using the formula W = 0.9Q, we get:
   W = 0.9 * 530 BTU/hour * (1055.06 J/BTU)
   W = 509.6 watts

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

1. How does the choice of air cooler series affect the temperature range it can maintain?
2. What are some factors to consider when selecting an air cooler for a specific application?
3. Can air coolers be used for heating as well? If not, why?

## Glossary

text: We are standing on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater, looking down into the 600-metre-deep, 19-kilometre-wide crater. It is absolutely breathtaking – truly one of the world’s natural 25,000wonders: a three-million-year-old volcano crater that collapsed under its own weight and has since become home to large mammals.. Unbelievable.. We head down into the crater, following a winding road with spectacular views. At the bottom we follow the track and see a group of vultures circling overhead, eyeing a large carcass in the grass below. Two hyenas are tearing away at it, devouring the carrion while at the same time chasing the jackals and vultures away. “Wait for your turn,” they seem to growl.. Our guide Cliff says it must have been a zebra, and that it was killed quite recently. So there has been a murder! We have a body; we have a motive… The question is: who killed the zebra? How….

Lesson: Introduction to Crime Scene Investigation

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of crime scene investigation. Crime scene investigation is the process of collecting and analyzing evidence from a crime scene to help solve the case. This involves examining the scene, taking photographs, measuring distances, collecting samples, and analyzing the evidence in a laboratory.

### Section 2: Questions and Answers

1. What is crime scene investigation?

Answer: Crime scene investigation is the process of collecting and analyzing evidence from a crime scene to help solve the case.

2. Why is it important to examine a crime scene carefully?

Answer: Examining a crime scene carefully is important because it can provide valuable information about what happened at the scene, who was involved, and how the crime was committed.

3. What types of evidence can be collected at a crime scene?

Answer: Various types of evidence can be collected at a crime scene, including fingerprints, DNA, bloodstains, hair samples, and other physical objects.

4. How is evidence analyzed in a laboratory?

Answer: Evidence collected at a crime scene is analyzed in a laboratory using various scientific techniques, such as DNA analysis, ballistics testing, and toxicology testing.

5. Who usually conducts a crime scene investigation?

Answer: Crime scene investigations are typically conducted by trained professionals, such as police officers, detectives, and forensic scientists.

### Section 3: Definitions and Examples

**Definition:** A crime scene is any location where a crime has taken place.

**Example:** A house where a robbery occurred would be considered a crime scene.

**Definition:** Evidence is any object or piece of information that helps to prove or disprove a fact in a legal proceeding.

**Example:** A bloodstained shirt found at a crime scene could be considered evidence.

**Definition:** A laboratory is a facility where scientific experiments or tests are conducted.

**Example:** A forensic laboratory where DNA samples are analyzed could be considered a laboratory.

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

Let's say we have a crime scene where a person was shot. The bullet hole is 2 meters above the ground, and the angle of the bullet entry is 30 degrees. We can use trigonometry to determine the distance between the shooter and the victim.

Let D be the distance between the shooter and the victim, and H be the height of the bullet entry (2 meters). We can use the sine function to find the angle between the horizontal line (x-axis) and the line of sight (y-axis).

sin(30) = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin(30) = H / sqrt(D^2 + H^2)

We can solve for D:

D = sqrt(H^2 + H^2) / sin(30)
D = H * sqrt(2)

So, if we know the height of the bullet entry (H), we can use trigonometry to calculate the distance between the shooter and the victim (D).

### Glossary

- Crime scene: Any location where a crime has taken place.
- Evidence: Any object or piece of information that helps to prove or disprove a fact in a legal proceeding.
- Laboratory: A facility where scientific experiments or tests are conducted.

Lesson: Toolkit for Public Management

## Introduction
Public management involves the use of resources to achieve specific goals and objectives. It requires effective planning, organizing, directing, and controlling of public organizations to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. In this lesson, we will explore the toolkit for public management and analyze how it can be used to manage a single management issue.

## Perspectives on Management
There are several perspectives on management, including classical, behavioral, and modern. Each perspective offers a unique view of how management should be approached. For this lesson, we will focus on the modern perspective, which emphasizes the importance of people, teams, and collaboration in achieving organizational goals.

## Case Study: United Nations
The United Nations (UN) is an international organization that works to promote peace, security, and development worldwide. One of the UN's primary goals is to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. To achieve this goal, the UN has implemented several programs and initiatives aimed at improving access to education, healthcare, and other essential services.

## Management Issue
One management issue that the UN has faced is the lack of funding for its programs and initiatives. This issue has been challenging to manage because it affects the organization's ability to deliver on its promises and achieve its goals.

## Application of the Modern Perspective
Applying the modern perspective on management, we can see that the UN's management issue could have been managed differently by placing a greater emphasis on collaboration and partnerships. The UN could have worked more closely with other organizations, governments, and individuals to secure funding and support for its programs and initiatives.

For example, the UN could have partnered with private companies to secure donations or sponsorships for its programs. It could have also collaborated with other international organizations to pool resources and expertise. By working together, the UN could have achieved more with less, and managed its funds more effectively.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, the toolkit for public management is essential for effective planning, organizing, directing, and controlling of public organizations. By applying the modern perspective on management, we can see that collaboration and partnerships are crucial for managing issues like funding. By working together, organizations can achieve more with less and manage their resources more effectively.

text: Yesterday the Telegraph ran a story “Pagans demand return of church buildings ‘stolen’ 1,300 years ago”. While the story reports on actions of the Odinist Fellowship, the headline suggests that this demand is from the wider Pagan community so I have dropped the Telegraph a letter:. Sir – Your headline “Pagans demand return of church buildings ‘stolen’ 1,300 years ago” could be read to suggest that this demand is representative of Pagans in general. It is not. While the Odinists have every right to ask for the return of a church, I suspect that this is not an action that most Pagans would take.. Speaking as a Druid, one of the two largest paths within Paganism, it is in nature that I find my gods and where I go to be with them. To quote Mikhail Gorbachev: “To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals”. Stuart Jeffery
