Lesson: Introduction to Smartphones

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn about smartphones and their features. We will cover the different types of smartphones, their components, and how they work. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to identify the different parts of a smartphone and understand how they function.

**Section 1: What is a Smartphone?**

A smartphone is a mobile phone that combines the functions of a traditional cell phone with the advanced capabilities of a computer. Smartphones are equipped with powerful processors, high-resolution displays, and internet connectivity, allowing them to run apps, browse the web, and perform many other computer-like tasks.

**Section 2: Types of Smartphones**

There are several types of smartphones available on the market today. These include:

1. iOS devices, such as the iPhone, which run on Apple's iOS operating system.
2. Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note II, which run on Google's Android operating system.
3. Windows Phones, which run on Microsoft's Windows operating system.
4. BlackBerry devices, which run on BlackBerry's proprietary operating system.

**Section 3: Components of a Smartphone**

A smartphone typically consists of several components, including:

1. Display: The screen that displays information, such as text, images, and videos.
2. Processor: The brain of the phone, responsible for executing instructions and performing computations.
3. Memory: The storage space where data and programs are stored.
4. Battery: The power source that provides electricity to the phone.
5. Connectivity: The ability to connect to the internet and other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks.
6. Cameras: Both front-facing and rear-facing cameras for taking photos and videos.
7. Speakers and microphones: For playing sound and recording audio.
8. Sensors: Such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and proximity sensors, which allow the phone to detect its orientation and respond to user actions.

**Section 4: How Smartphones Work**

Smartphones work by combining hardware and software to perform tasks. When you tap on an app icon, the phone's processor retrieves the app from the memory and loads it onto the screen. The app then uses the phone's sensors, connectivity, and other features to perform its intended function.

For example, when you take a photo with your smartphone, the camera app uses the rear-facing camera to capture the image, processes the image using the phone's processor, and stores the resulting photo in the phone's memory. The app then displays the photo on the screen so you can view it.

**Section 5: Practice Questions**

1. Which type of smartphone runs on Google's Android operating system?
2. What is the purpose of a smartphone's processor?
3. What is the difference between a smartphone and a regular cell phone?

**Answers:**

1. Android devices
2. To execute instructions and perform computations
3. A smartphone combines the functions of a traditional cell phone with the advanced capabilities of a computer, allowing it to run apps, browse the web, and perform many other computer-like tasks.

**Section 6: Real-World Examples**

One real-world example of a smartphone's capabilities is using a navigation app to find your way around an unfamiliar city. The app uses the phone's GPS sensor to determine your location, then overlays directions and traffic information onto a map displayed on the phone's screen. As you move, the app updates your location in real-time, providing turn-by-turn instructions and estimated arrival times.

Another example is using a social media app to stay connected with friends and family. You can use the app to post updates, share photos and videos, and message other users. The app also notifies you when someone comments on or likes your posts, allowing you to engage with your social network.

**Section 7: Glossary**

**Processor:** The brain of the phone, responsible for executing instructions and performing computations.
**Memory:** The storage space where data and programs are stored.
**Connectivity:** The ability to connect to the internet and other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks.
**Sensors:** Devices that detect physical quantities such as light, heat, or pressure and convert them into electrical signals.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned about smartphones and their components, how they work, and how they can be used to perform a variety of tasks. By understanding the basic principles behind smartphones, we can better appreciate their capabilities and apply them to new problems.

A notorious Chinese state-owned enterprise now has a 30-per-cent stake in a consortium building Site C dam infrastructure after buying Canadian construction giant Aecon last year.

Announcements, Events & more from Tyee and select partners This Moment Calls for More Independent Journalism. We Need Your Help to Deliver It We can’t let journalism fade away. Contribute to The Tyee so we can add to our team.

The China Communications Construction Co. Ltd. has a history of corruption and workplace safety issues in projects around the world.

Canada’s biggest construction firms have pointed to those issues and national security concerns in quietly asking the federal government to reject the takeover as not in the national interest.

According to the Globe and Mail a delegation representing firms such as PCL and Ledcor (all Aecon’s competitors) met with senior Ottawa civil servants to lobby the government to block the sale of Aecon to CCCC, one of the world’s largest infrastructure builders.

Representatives from the construction firms argued that as a Chinese-state controlled enterprise CCCC should not be allowed to build sensitive infrastructure projects such as military bases or nuclear power plants.

Last year CCCC International Holdings, an arm of China Communications Construction Co., purchased Aecon, one of Canada’s largest building and engineering firms, for $1.5 billion. The deal is awaiting federal government review under the Investment Canada Act.

Aecon, a 140-year-old firm, helped to build such landmarks as the CN Tower, Vancouver’s SkyTrain and the Halifax Shipyards.

Shortly after the CCCC’s purchase of the Canadian company, BC Hydro announced that a partnership led by Aecon Group Inc. had been chosen as the preferred bidder for a Site C generating station and spillways contract. The partnership includes three other companies including Dragados Canada Inc.

Under the Investment Canada Act the federal government must study major purchases of Canadian firms by foreign buyers “that could be injurious to national security.” The Trudeau government has been actively courting Chinese investment and B.C. Premier John Horgan is currently in China on a trade mission aimed at increasing exports and attracting investment.

The purchase of Aecon would not only make CCCC a major player in the controversial Site C dam, but give the firm a chance to bid on an expected $185 billion in infrastructure projects planned by Canadian governments over the next decade.

Former Conservative Foreign Affairs minister Peter MacKay says Ottawa should block the deal, which would funnel profits from public infrastructure projects to the Chinese state.

“If Aecon is acquired by CCCI profits from this taxpayer-funded initiative to build and improve the means to enhance Canada’s economic competitiveness — to build our communities for generations to come — would go directly to the government of China.”

The China-Canada investment treaty, which the former Harper government approved by Order in Council in 2012, would also give the CCCC the right to challenge Canadian legislative, executive or judicial decisions in a secret arbitration process outside of Canada’s legal system.

Green Leader and MP Elizabeth May said the treaty adds to the reasons to block the sale.

“Any Chinese company now has superior rights to a Canadian company,” she said. State-owned enterprises run by China’s government should not be able to challenge or undermine public policy in Canada, May added.

“Premier Horgan needs to get out of Site C before 30 per cent of the construction falls into the hands of the Chinese,” said May, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, in a Tyee interview.

“CCCC’s poor safety record, weak labour standards and environmental track record should be enough to persuade Premier John Horgan to reverse his ill-advised approval of Site C,” she said.

By any measure the track record of CCCC, like that of many Chinese state-owned enterprises, is bad.

In 2009 the World Bank barred CCCC and its subsidiaries from engaging “in any road and bridge projects financed by the World Bank Group” for seven years after an investigation found that the company “participated in a collusive scheme designed to establish bid prices at artificial, non-competitive levels” on a road-building project in the Philippines.

In Sri Lanka the Chinese company has left a legacy of corruption allegations and white-elephant projects that have left the country indebted to the Chinese government.

Concerns have also been raised about a 2016 decision by the Malaysian government to award CCCC a $12.3-billion rail construction contract with no competitive bidding process.

Charges of bribery and corruption have also dogged the company and other Chinese companies in Africa on building projects in Kenya and Tanzania.

Workplace safety, a big problem in China generally, has also been an issue at work sites operated by CCCC.

CCCC, which claims to be “building a connected world” is part of a huge network of companies run by the Communist Party of China largely to advance political goals.

The Globe and Mail reported that CCCC had filed notice with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in October that it was adding a Communist Party section to its corporate structure in which the party “organization shall play the core leadership role and core political role, providing direction, managing the overall situation.”

China’s central government owns 106 companies which have become global giants. Forty-seven of these firms ranked in the 2014 Fortune Global 500. At the end of 2013 these state-owned enterprises controlled more than $5.6 trillion in assets, including more than $690 billion in investments abroad.

A 2016 report in Asia Policy described China’s state-owned enterprises as “long plagued by declining performance, rising debt, and serious corruption.”

Lu Shaye, China’s ambassador to Canada, describes the purchase of Aecon as “a very normal business transaction” and says there is no need for a national security review.

But in the National Post, Jack Mintz, a fellow at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, wrote last year that “The last thing Canada should be doing is allowing foreign SOEs to renationalize our industry, making us poorer and weaker for it.”

John Beck, Aecon’s CEO, has tried to assure Canadians that the company will retain its Canadian headquarters, values and employees under Chinese control.

But MacKay notes that Diane Francis, a well-known journalist, has long argued that Canada should not approve Chinese takeovers because Chinese firms don’t play by the rules.

In one article she wrote that “China’s track record in Canada is abysmal and includes a request to the Supreme Court of Canada, by a Chinese engineering giant a handful of years ago, to exempt it from our laws after it breached safety violations and ignored our courts following workers’ deaths. The Court refused to hear the case. Fines were never paid.”

Francis is also Beck’s spouse.

Is this law Racist? Does it specify brown people?Are the people who agree with this law racist?Are those who want this law enforced racist?The law says nothing of little "brown" people but it explains what is illegal entry. It's not very hard to understand. Why is this law "broken"? Why can it be selectively ignored?Illegal alien includes all people who entered illegally, could be Croation, Russian, Chinese, Irish, Canadians and yes even Mexicans. No one single race or people is referenced in the law. Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact; has committed a federal crime.Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.Gordon could never understand this and has cost Pheonix and surrounding cities hundreds of millions to support the education, health and welfare of these illegal immigrants.

Sherrif Joe is one of a few law enforcement individuals who understands a simple fact: "illegal immigrant" = an individual who is not in the United States legally. Being that the "illegal immigrant" has broken our (and Barrack Hussien Obwama's) Federal Immigration Laws and entered the United States through illegal means, he / she is subject to a crime and as such, he / she is subject to deportation. Is that difficult to understand?

Lesson: Understanding Immigration Laws in the United States
Introduction:
Immigration laws are an essential part of any country's policy. They help regulate the number of people entering a country and ensure that everyone follows the same rules. In the United States, immigration laws are designed to protect the country's borders and ensure that people come here legally. However, there is often confusion about what these laws mean and how they are enforced. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of immigration laws in the United States, including who they apply to and what penalties exist for breaking them.
Section 1: Understanding Immigration Laws
Immigration laws are a set of rules that govern how people enter and live in the United States. These laws are designed to protect the country's borders and ensure that people come here legally. The laws apply to anyone who is not a US citizen and wants to enter or live in the country. This includes people from all over the world, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or nationality.
Section 2: Penalties for Breaking Immigration Laws
Violating immigration laws can result in serious penalties, including fines and imprisonment. For example, under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact; has committed a federal crime. Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration officials.
Section 3: Examples of Immigration Law Violations
There are many ways that someone can violate immigration laws. Some common examples include:
- Entering the country without proper documentation (e.g., a visa or passport)
- Overstaying a visa or work permit
- Working without proper authorization
- Lying on a visa application or other immigration forms
- Helping someone else violate immigration laws (e.g., providing a fake job offer to an undocumented worker)
Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, understanding immigration laws is essential for anyone living in the United States. These laws are designed to protect the country's borders and ensure that everyone follows the same rules. Violating these laws can result in serious penalties, including fines and imprisonment. By learning about the basics of immigration laws and the potential consequences of breaking them, we can better understand our responsibilities as citizens and residents of the United States.

Core Value: Nutrition and Health Benefits of Cereals

Lesson: Introduction to Cereals and their Health Benefits

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

Cereals are grains that are used as food and are rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and other essential nutrients. They are an important part of a healthy diet and can provide numerous health benefits. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of cereals, their nutritional content, and the health benefits they offer.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

Let's consider the example of oats, which is a type of cereal that is widely consumed as breakfast food. Oats are rich in soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. They also contain vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. Oats can be prepared in various ways, such as rolled, steel-cut, or instant. You can add fruits, nuts, and seeds to your oatmeal to increase its nutritional value and make it more delicious.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**

Now let's consider a real-world scenario where a person is trying to choose between different types of cereals. They are looking for a cereal that is high in fiber and protein, has a low glycemic index, and is gluten-free. Based on our knowledge from the previous sections, we can recommend a cereal made from brown rice, quinoa, and chia seeds. This cereal is high in fiber and protein, has a low glycemic index, and is gluten-free. It also contains important nutrients such as iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

**Glossary**

- Carbohydrates: One of the three macronutrients required for energy, found in foods such as bread, pasta, rice, and cereals.
- Fiber: A type of carbohydrate that is not digested by the body and helps to promote digestive health and lower cholesterol levels.
- Glycemic index: A measure of how quickly a food raises blood sugar levels.
- Macronutrients: Nutrients that are required in large amounts for energy, growth, and cellular repair.
- Micronutrients: Nutrients that are required in small amounts for proper bodily function.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about the nutritional content and health benefits of cereals. We also applied this knowledge to a real-world scenario and created a recommendation for a healthy cereal option. By understanding the importance of cereals in a balanced diet, we can make informed choices about the foods we eat and improve our overall health and well-being.

Lesson: How Air Conditioning Devices Work

**Introduction:** Air conditioning devices are essential in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside buildings. They work by filtering and cooling the air inside the building. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of air conditioning devices, their components, and how they work.

**Section 1: Types of Air Conditioning Devices**

There are two main types of air conditioning devices:

1. **Window Units:** These are small air conditioners that can be installed in windows. They work by circulating refrigerant through a series of coils and fans. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the room and releases it outside.

2. **Central Air Conditioning Systems:** These systems use a series of ducts to distribute cooled air throughout the building. They consist of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit contains a compressor, condenser, and expansion valve. The indoor unit contains a blower fan and evaporator coil.

**Section 2: Components of Air Conditioning Devices**

1. **Compressor:** This is a pump that circulates the refrigerant through the system. It increases the pressure of the refrigerant, causing it to become hot and turn into a gas.

2. **Condenser:** This is a coil that is located outside the building. It is used to release the heat absorbed from the room into the atmosphere.

3. **Expansion Valve:** This is a device that controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil. It ensures that the refrigerant only flows when it is needed.

4. **Evaporator Coil:** This is a coil located inside the building. It absorbs heat from the air and turns the refrigerant into a cold liquid.

5. **Blower Fan:** This is a fan that circulates air over the evaporator coil. It helps to distribute the cooled air throughout the building.

**Section 3: How Air Conditioning Devices Work**

1. **Window Units:** In window units, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the room and turns into a gas. The gas then flows through the expansion valve, which controls its flow. The refrigerant then passes through the evaporator coil, where it absorbs more heat. Finally, it flows into the compressor, which pressurizes it. The hot gas then flows back into the condenser, where it releases its heat into the atmosphere.

2. **Central Air Conditioning Systems:** In central air conditioning systems, the process is similar to window units. However, the refrigerant flows through the outdoor unit and then into the indoor unit. The indoor blower fan circulates the cooled air throughout the building.

**Glossary:**

- Refrigerant: A substance used in air conditioning systems to absorb and release heat.
- Compressor: A pump that circulates the refrigerant through the system.
- Condenser: A coil that releases heat into the atmosphere.
- Expansion Valve: A device that controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil.
- Evaporator Coil: A coil that absorbs heat from the air.
- Blower Fan: A fan that circulates air over the evaporator coil.

**Conclusion:** Air conditioning devices are essential in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside buildings. They work by filtering and cooling the air inside the building. By understanding the different types of air conditioning devices, their components, and how they work, we can better appreciate the importance of these devices in our daily lives.

1. Listen actively: When someone is speaking to you, make sure you are really listening to what they are saying. Pay attention to their tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions. This will help you understand their message better.
2. Use appropriate language: Choose your words carefully and use language that is appropriate for the situation. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that may be unfamiliar to your audience.
3. Be aware of cultural differences: Cultural differences can affect how people communicate. Be aware of these differences and adjust your communication style accordingly.
4. Use non-verbal cues: Use non-verbal cues such as nodding your head or making eye contact to show that you are engaged and listening.
5. Practice empathy: Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes and understand their perspective. This will help you communicate more effectively and build stronger relationships.
### Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, improving communication in the workplace using NLP techniques can have a profound impact on your ability to understand and influence others. By actively listening, using appropriate language, being aware of cultural differences, using non-verbal cues, and practicing empathy, you can improve your communication skills and achieve better outcomes in your workplace.


text: Safety.. As an additional alternative to traditional packaging tape application, some tape manufacturers have developed tape application technology for automated and manual packaging applications that folds the edges of the tape along the length of the carton as it is applied. This creates a dry edge that allows workers to grasp the edge of the tape and remove it easily by hand, without compromising seal security. The reinforced tape edge also provides an extra strong seal by increasing the strength of the tape, preventing it from shredding when removed.. At the end of the day, worker injury and product damage lead to major cost setbacks for manufacturers, and eliminating the knife from the equation significantly reduces this risk..

Paper.li is a new service, still in alpha no less, that takes all of your feeds, searches, groups, tweets, etc, and analyzes them once a day to create a newspaper-style presentation. Videos referenced in a tweet? Paper.li will present them to you. Photos, media… it’s all there. I quite like this! Here’s the Electric Archaeologist Today. So – if you created a twitter account and used it not so much for your own tweeting, but rather to aggregate the twitterverse for say all things archaeological, museological, politics & archaeology etc… you’d have a daily publication with the latest from the ‘real-time’ web.. As soon as I get this marking done, that’s what I’m going to do. Look out Digital Humanities Now! 🙂. One thought on “Paper.li – A newspaper format for your twitter feeds”. Thanks! I find paper.li quite useful also.

There are large drilling rigs specially designed to be airlifted by helicopter into locations inaccessible by other forms of transportation. Therefore, there is also a need for a mud pump which can be easily broken down, or disassembled, into packages of a size which can be lifted by a helicopter into remote drilling locations. Presently available mud pumps which are light enough to be airlifted are smaller than desired for drilling rigs, and in order to attain the required flow, these pumps must be operated at speeds which cause high maintenance problems. Therefore, it is desirable to have made available a pump apparatus which has the required capacity and which can be dismantled into convenient packages for helicopter transport.
The present invention achieves the above desired results by the provision of a pump having three single acting cylinders, commonly known as a triplex pump. Rather than dismantling the pump into a power end component and fluid end component as has been in the past, the pump is designed as a three single cylinder assembly, wherein each cylinder is a single acting pump (simplex) with the shaft ends of each simplex pump being axially aligned with one another and connected together with special couplings so that the throws of the three crankshafts are timed 120.degree. apart in order to have a balanced throw and discharge flow.
