Lesson: Erasure Poetry

Introduction:
Erasure poetry is a form of poetry where the poet takes an existing text and removes words to create a new poem. This form of poetry has been used for centuries, but it has become more popular in recent years. In this lesson, we will learn about erasure poetry and how to create our own.

Section 1: What is Erasure Poetry?

**Definition:** Erasure poetry is a form of poetry where the poet removes words from an existing text to create a new poem.

**Example:** Let's say we have a book with the following sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." An erasure poet might take this sentence and remove some of the words to create a new poem. For example, they might remove "the" and "over" to create the poem: "Quick brown fox jumps lazy dog."

**Activity:** Let's try an erasure poetry activity together. We will use the following sentence as our starting point: "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

1. Read the sentence aloud with your classmates.
2. Discuss what erasure poetry is and why poets might use this technique.
3. Choose a word or phrase to remove from the sentence. For example, we could remove "the" or "and."
4. Rewrite the sentence without the chosen word or phrase.
5. Read the new sentence aloud and discuss how removing the word or phrase changes the meaning of the sentence.

Section 2: Creating Your Own Erasure Poem

**Step 1:** Choose a text to use as your starting point. This could be a book, a song lyric, or even a speech.

**Step 2:** Read the text carefully and identify words or phrases that you want to keep in your poem. These are the building blocks of your poem.

**Step 3:** Start removing words or phrases from the text. You can use a highlighter or a pen to mark the words you want to remove.

**Step 4:** Read the text again and again until you are happy with the remaining words. Make sure that the remaining words make sense together and create a cohesive poem.

**Step 5:** Repeat the erasure poetry process with different texts to practice and experiment with different techniques.

Section 3: Examples of Erasure Poetry

**Example 1:** "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot

Original Text: "April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain."

Erasure Poem: "April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain."

**Example 2:** "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats

Original Text: "Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness,
Thou foster-child of silence and of slow
Deep-breathing, easy-speaking, English scene!"

Erasure Poem: "Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness,
Thou foster-child of silence and of slow
Deep-breathing, easy-speaking, English scene!"

Conclusion:

Erasure poetry is a fun and creative way to express yourself through writing. By removing words from an existing text, you can create a new poem that is unique and meaningful to you. Try creating your own erasure poetry using the steps outlined in this lesson. Remember that practice makes perfect, so don't be afraid to experiment and try different techniques.

text: Self-determination theory postulates various types of motivation can be placed on a continuum according to their level of relative autonomy, or self-determination. We analyze this question through the application of a bifactor-ESEM framework to the Academic Motivation Scale, completed by undergraduate (N = 547; Study 1) and graduate (N = 571; Study 2) students. In both studies, the results showed that bifactor-ESEM was well-suited to modeling the continuum of academic motivation, and provided a simultaneous assessment of the global level of self-determination and of the specific motivation factors. Global academic self-determination positively predicted satisfaction with studies and vitality. It also negatively predicted dropout intentions and ill-being. Specific motivation types additionally predicted outcomes over and above the global factor.. ID: 18212347

Lesson: Understanding Motivation Continuum

Introduction:
Motivation is an internal drive that pushes individuals to pursue a certain goal or achieve something. It is an essential element in achieving success in any field, including academics. Self-determination theory posits that there are different types of motivation, which can be placed on a continuum according to their level of autonomy. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of motivation continuum and how it applies to academic settings.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
- Motivation is an internal drive that pushes individuals to pursue a certain goal or achieve something.
- Self-determination theory posits that there are different types of motivation, which can be placed on a continuum according to their level of autonomy.
- Autonomous motivation refers to behaviors driven by personal interest and enjoyment, while controlled motivation refers to behaviors driven by external influences such as rewards or punishments.

Section 2: Practical Examples
- Autonomous motivation in academics may include pursuing a subject because it is interesting or enjoying the learning process.
- Controlled motivation in academics may include studying for a test because of the fear of getting a low grade or wanting to please parents.
- A student who is autonomously motivated may choose to major in a subject they love, even if it does not lead to a high-paying job, while a student who is controlled may choose a career based solely on financial gain.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
- A student who is autonomously motivated may volunteer for extracurricular activities that align with their interests, while a student who is controlled may only participate in activities that look good on a college application.
- An employee who is autonomously motivated may take on additional responsibilities or work longer hours because they enjoy the challenge, while an employee who is controlled may only work hard to receive a promotion or bonus.

Glossary:
- Autonomy: the ability to make decisions and take actions based on one's own free will
- Continuum: a range of values or qualities that can be measured along a scale
- Self-determination: the process by which individuals make choices and take responsibility for their actions

Conclusion:
Understanding the motivation continuum is essential in understanding how individuals approach their goals and objectives. By recognizing the difference between autonomous and controlled motivation, individuals can work towards becoming more self-driven and achieving success in their academic and professional lives.

Lesson: Introduction to OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap is a free, editable map of the world that is available under an open license. It is built by people like you and me, who add information about roads, trails, buildings, and other features on the ground. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and interpret maps made with OpenStreetMap data, and explore some of the ways this data can be used.

**Section 1: Reading OpenStreetMap Maps**

To begin, let's take a look at a map of Baltimore, Maryland, created with OpenStreetMap data. This map shows the Jones Falls Expressway, which is a major highway that runs through the city.

![map of baltimore](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20004077/146694266-c0e8a916-f5e3-4b1f-b2e2-38b5f6b7d9e8.png)

On this map, we can see several elements that are important for understanding the layout of the city:

- **Nodes**: These are points on the map, represented by numbers. For example, the node for the intersection of North Avenue and West North Avenue is labeled "544031 7672191".
- **Ways**: These are lines on the map, representing roads, trails, or other paths. They are labeled with a name, such as "Jones Falls Expressway" or "North Avenue".
- **Relations**: These are groups of ways that share a common attribute, such as being part of the same road or highway. For example, "I 83 North (MD)" is a relation that includes several ways that make up the northbound lanes of Interstate 83.

We can use these elements to understand the layout of the city and find our way around. For example, if we want to drive from downtown Baltimore to the northern suburbs, we can follow the "I 83 North (MD)" relation, which will take us north on the highway.

**Section 2: Using OpenStreetMap Data**

OpenStreetMap data can be used for many purposes, including navigation, urban planning, and environmental research. Here are a few examples:

- **Navigation**: With OpenStreetMap data, we can create maps and directions for travelers, helping them to find their way to their destination. We can also use this data to create route-planning apps, which can suggest the fastest or most scenic routes for drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians.
- **Urban Planning**: City planners can use OpenStreetMap data to study traffic patterns, identify areas that need improvements, and plan new infrastructure projects. They can also use this data to create 3D models of cities, which can be used for urban design and architecture.
- **Environmental Research**: Scientists can use OpenStreetMap data to study changes in land use, vegetation cover, and other environmental factors. They can also use this data to track the spread of diseases, monitor air quality, and study the effects of climate change.

**Section 3: Practice Questions**

1. What is OpenStreetMap?
2. How can OpenStreetMap data be used?
3. What are nodes, ways, and relations in OpenStreetMap?

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about OpenStreetMap, a free and open map of the world that is created and maintained by users like us. We explored how to read and interpret maps made with this data, and discussed some of the many ways this data can be used. By understanding the basics of OpenStreetMap, we can become better-informed citizens, urban planners, and environmental researchers, and contribute our own knowledge to this growing resource.

Q:

Give dynamic ID to Angular template html

I have created a html template that is reused a couple times in a parent component but with different data passed on.
I have parent.component.html which has
    <child-component title="one"></child-component>
    <child-component title="two"></child-component>
    <child-component title="three"></child-component>

Which works just fine.
The thing is, in 'child-component' I have checkboxes and their corresponding labels. As you know, they need the for attribute to know when a checkbox is checked. As I have realized, Angular re-renders the child-component each time is called, like a clone, and the for attributes are all the same for each child-component, so checkboxes don't work. I want to be able to create dynamic for and id for each checkbox each time the child-component is called upon.
I tried to explain my problem as best as I could. Is such solution possible?

A:

Inspired by @mynameisx comment, the solution was simpler than I thought.
As I have the title property passed on with a different value, that itself differentiates each child component. So in each child component, I wrote this for the id and for of the input:
<input type="checkbox" id="{{ title }} + Check">
<label for="{{ title }} + Check"></label>

The checkboxes work!

Lesson:

**Lesson 1: Understanding the Basics of Checkboxes in Angular**

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will learn about checkboxes in Angular. We will cover the following topics:

- What are checkboxes?
- How do checkboxes work in Angular?
- Why do we need dynamic IDs for checkboxes in Angular?

**What are checkboxes?**

Checkboxes are HTML elements used to select or deselect one or more items from a set. They are often used in forms to gather user input.

**How do checkboxes work in Angular?**

In Angular, checkboxes work similarly to how they work in HTML. However, there are some differences when it comes to handling checked and unchecked states. In Angular, we use the `ngModel` directive to bind the checked state of a checkbox to a model property. This allows us to keep track of which checkboxes are checked in our application.

**Why do we need dynamic IDs for checkboxes in Angular?**

In Angular, we need dynamic IDs for checkboxes because the `for` attribute of a checkbox must match the `id` attribute of its label. This is necessary for accessibility reasons, as screen readers need to be able to associate the label with the correct checkbox. If we have multiple instances of a child component with checkboxes, each instance will have the same `id` attribute, which means that the checkboxes will not work correctly.

**Solution**

To solve this problem, we can use the `ngFor` directive to dynamically generate unique IDs for each checkbox. Here's an example:

```html
<child-component [title]="title" [checkboxId]="'checkbox-' + index">
  <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-{{ index }}" />
  <label for="checkbox-{{ index }}">{{ title }}</label>
</child-component>
```

In this example, we pass the `title` and `checkboxId` properties to the child component. The `checkboxId` property is used to generate a unique ID for each checkbox using a loop. The `index` variable is used to keep track of the loop iteration.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned why we need dynamic IDs for checkboxes in Angular and how to generate them using the `ngFor` directive. We also saw an example of how to use checkboxes in a child component.

**Glossary**

- `ngModel`: A directive used to bind the checked state of a checkbox to a model property.
- `ngFor`: A directive used to iterate over an array and generate HTML elements dynamically.
- `id`: An attribute used to uniquely identify an element in HTML.
- `for`: An attribute used to specify the ID of a label element that is associated with a checkbox.

**Self-Debating Discussion**

1. Why do we need unique IDs for checkboxes in Angular?
2. How does the `ngFor` directive help us generate unique IDs for checkboxes?
3. What are some other ways to generate unique IDs for checkboxes?


text: IN REVIEWING the literature on the anatomy of the extrahepatic portal system in the light of present day surgical procedures for the relief of portal hypertension, we were able to find little information on the length and caliber of the major vessels making up the extrahepatic portal systems.1 In the performance of anastomoses between the portal system and the systemic circulation, it is important that the vessels used should have sufficient caliber to be able to transport enough blood in a given time to relieve the hypertension in the portal system. Because there is so little known about the length of these veins in the average person and because there is virtually nothing recorded in the literature concerning the caliber of the veins that are available for these anastomoses, this study was undertaken.. Since the study was begun, Douglass, Baggenstoss and Hollinshead,2 of the Mayo Clinic, have.

text: Price on Request. I was cruising home in my subaru on a sunny day in Calgary, when I drove past a wood shop with a sign for free firewood outside. MAYDAY! I pulled in and picked up a few flat pieces of cedar to use for paintings, one of them turned in to this.. The background is a blend of Acrylics and the central pattern was made with acrylic paint in squeeze bottles. It took a lot of experimenting with different paints and bottles and nozzles to get it just right. The yellow and green were really compatible colors - what I mean by that is that all the acrylics I used has slightly different thicknesses, which made it really hard for the patterns to turn out consistent. The yellow and green went together like PB&J! This guy is covered in a 1/4 inch layer of epoxy, its virtually indestructible. Its covering an awful hole in my wall right now, I will have to make a new one when it is sold!. acrylic and epoxy on wood 7" x 19"

Title: Introduction to Discounts and Deals

## Chapter 1: Understanding Discounts and Deals

### Section 1: What are Discounts and Deals?
Discounts and deals are promotional offers that businesses provide to customers to encourage them to purchase their products or services. Discounts are reductions in the price of a product or service, while deals are offers that provide additional value beyond the standard price.

### Section 2: Types of Discounts and Deals
There are several types of discounts and deals, including:

1. Percentage discount: A fixed percentage reduction in the price of a product or service.
2. Dollar discount: A fixed amount deducted from the price of a product or service.
3. Buy-one-get-one-free (BOGO): A promotion where customers can purchase one item and receive another item for free.
4. Free gift with purchase: A promotion where customers receive a free gift when they purchase a product or service.
5. Group discount: A discount offered to customers who purchase multiple items or services.
6. Seasonal discount: A discount offered during specific times of the year, such as holidays or end-of-season clearance.
7. Limited-time offer: A promotion that is only available for a limited time period.

### Section 3: Why do Businesses Offer Discounts and Deals?
Businesses offer discounts and deals for several reasons, including:

1. To attract new customers and increase sales.
2. To reward loyal customers for their continued business.
3. To clear out old inventory or products that are no longer popular.
4. To compete with other businesses offering similar products or services.
5. To celebrate special events or occasions, such as anniversaries or holidays.

### Section 4: How to Find Discounts and Deals
You can find discounts and deals by:

1. Checking online websites that specialize in finding deals, such as Groupon or LivingSocial.
2. Signing up for email newsletters from your favorite businesses, as they often send out exclusive offers to their subscribers.
3. Following businesses on social media platforms, as they may announce deals and promotions there.
4. Shopping during sales or clearance events.
5. Asking for discounts or deals when making a purchase, especially if you are a repeat customer or purchasing multiple items.

## Chapter 2: Examples of Discounts and Deals
### Section 1: Percentage Discount
Suppose you want to buy a pair of shoes that normally costs $100. The business is offering a 20% discount on the shoes. The discounted price would be:
$100 - (20% of $100) = $80

### Section 2: Dollar Discount
Suppose you want to buy a shirt that normally costs $50. The business is offering a $10 dollar discount on the shirt. The discounted price would be:
$50 - $10 = $40

### Section 3: Buy-One-Get-One-Free (BOGO)
Suppose you want to buy two pairs of socks that normally cost $20 each. The business is offering a BOGO deal, where you get one pair of socks for free when you purchase another pair. The total cost for two pairs of socks would be:
(2 x $20) + (1 x $0) = $40

### Section 4: Free Gift with Purchase
Suppose you want to buy a handbag that normally costs $50. The business is offering a free tote bag with the purchase of the handbag. The total cost for the handbag and tote bag would be:
$50 + $0 = $50

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about discounts and deals, their types, and why businesses offer them. We also learned how to find discounts and deals and applied them to examples. By understanding discounts and deals, we can make informed decisions when purchasing products or services and take advantage of opportunities to save money.

Lesson: Introduction to Limited Edition Products
## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about limited edition products and why companies create them. Limited edition products are items that are produced in a limited quantity, usually due to popular demand or to celebrate a special event. Companies create these products to generate buzz and create a sense of urgency among consumers.
## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's take the example of the OnePlus 5 in Soft Gold. This limited edition color was released to celebrate the success of the previous colors, Grey and Black. The company wanted to create a sense of exclusivity and urgency among consumers, which would drive sales. By limiting the number of units available, OnePlus created a product that was desirable and sought after by many.
## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
In the case of the OnePlus 5 in Soft Gold, the company used a combination of marketing strategies to create a sense of urgency among consumers. They released a limited number of units, which created a sense of scarcity and made people want the product even more. They also used social media and influencer marketing to spread the word about the new color and generate interest.
## Glossary
- Limited Edition: A product that is produced in a limited quantity, usually due to popular demand or to celebrate a special event.
- Scarcity: A marketing strategy that creates a sense of urgency among consumers by limiting the availability of a product.

Wally Moon, the wiry outfielder with the old-school crew cut who helped take the Dodgers to the World Series three times and became a crowd favorite for his towering “Moon shots,” has died.

Moon, who became part of the Dodgers lineup shortly after the team moved west from Brooklyn, died Friday in Bryan, Texas. He was 87.

A lefty who had proved to be a steady hitter with decent power while with the St. Louis Cardinals, Moon was nonetheless coming off a down year when he was traded to the Dodgers in 1959. The Cardinals even tossed in a pitcher to make the deal work. For the Dodgers, coming off a seventh-place finish, it seemed an odd way to rebuild.

And there was the ballpark where the Dodgers then played: the cavernous Coliseum, a graveyard for left-handed batters.

It was a staggering 440 feet to the right-field fence. By contrast, the left-field bleachers were a friendly 251 feet from home plate — a chip shot for a decent player. To take advantage of the odd dimensions, the Dodgers stacked their lineup with righties.

“I really wasn’t sure how much I was going to get to play,” Moon told The Times in 2008.

Dodgers slugger Wally Moon in 1963 Los Angeles Times

After consulting with former teammate Stan Musial, generally regarded as one of the finest hitters in the game, Moon decided to adjust his swing and his stance at the plate so that he could drive the ball to left field. And to get it over the 42-foot screen that hung in front of the left-field bleachers, he learned to uppercut the ball.

The results were impressive. Hitting in a lineup with fearsome players such as Duke Snider, Gil Hodges and John Roseboro, Moon batted .302 and swatted 19 home runs, nine of them to left field. The most dramatic was a towering ninth-inning “Moon shot” to left field in a 2-2 game against the San Francisco Giants in 1959.

The walk-off home run helped carry the team to the World Series, where they knocked off the Chicago White Sox to win it all.

“It was unforgettable,” Moon said decades later. “I can still hear it, still feel it, still see it all these years.”

Wallace Wade Moon was born April 3, 1930, in Bay, Ark., a speck of a town surrounded by cotton fields. Moon said his father dropped out of school in eighth grade, and regretted the decision the rest of his life. Moon was raised with the expectation that he would go to college. When he graduated from high school and was offered a baseball contract, his father persuaded him to turn it down.

After earning a degree in education from Texas A&M, Moon finally signed with the Cardinals but with the stipulation that he would play only during the summer months until he finished his master’s degree. The money he made playing part time was set aside so that his younger sister could also go to college.

In 1954, Moon was rushed to the major leagues. He later calculated that he had played all of 17 games in the year before his major league debut and felt overwhelmed when the Cardinals traded away fan favorite Enos Slaughter to clear a spot in the lineup for him.

But hitting a home run in his first at-bat helped ease the jitters, and he went on to hit .304 on the year with 76 RBIs, enough to earn him National League Rookie of the Year honors. He spent five seasons in St. Louis before he was shipped to the Dodgers in exchange for Gino Cimoli, who — like Moon — was coming off a disappointing season.

It was a golden era for the Dodgers. After winning the World Series in 1955, the team repeated as major league champs in 1959, 1963 and 1965, riding the arms of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, the bat of Tommy Davis and the base-running prowess of Maury Wills. The team moved into the newly built Dodger Stadium in 1962. But as the years went by, Moon was slowly pushed out of the starting lineup.

In 1965, he called it quits, ending a 12-year career during which he hit 142 home runs and was named to the all-star team three times. His last game in uniform was against the Minnesota Twins in Game 7 of the 1965 World Series. He never got off the bench.

By the end of the year, he’d sold his house in Encino and moved back to Arkansas with his wife and five children.

“The children were growing up, drugs were starting to come on the scene and I decided I didn’t want to raise my family in Southern California,” he explained to the Baltimore Sun in 1990. “My wife and I are both small-town people at heart.”

Moon moved the family to Siloam Springs, Ark., where the plains meet the Ozark Mountains. He took a job as the athletic director and baseball coach at John Brown University, a small private Christian college were he worked and taught for 15 years, aside from one year when he took a leave of absence to take over as the batting coach for the San Diego Padres. He later became manager and an owner of the San Antonio Dodgers, before retiring and moving to Bryan, Texas. In 2010 his autobiography, “Moon Shots: Reflections on a Baseball Life,” was published.

In 2008, when the Dodgers played an exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox in the Coliseum, Moon was invited back to a field where he had created so many memories.

Before the game, he was playfully asked whether he want to take batting practice with the team to see if he could launch one last “Moon shot.”

He chuckled.

“I haven’t picked up a bat in 30 years, but I’ll take a shot at it. I still play a lot of golf, so I might be able to get it there.

Moon’s wife, Bettye, died in 2016. He is survived by five children and seven grandchildren.

# Lesson: First Steps with Apache Spark

**Introduction**
Apache Spark is an open-source distributed computing system that provides a unified platform for processing large data sets in-memory. It is designed to be fast, in-memory data processing engine that can handle both batch and real-time data processing workloads. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of Apache Spark and how to get started with it.

**Section 1: What is Apache Spark?**
Apache Spark is a distributed computing system that can process large data sets in-memory. It is designed to be fast, in-memory data processing engine that can handle both batch and real-time data processing workloads. Spark provides an interface for programming entire clusters in a unified API, so you can easily move your application between standalone machines and clusters.

**Section 2: Getting Started with Apache Spark**
To get started with Apache Spark, you need to install it on your computer. You can download Spark from its official website or use a package manager like Apache Maven or Apache Ivy. Once you have installed Spark, you need to set up a cluster. A cluster is a group of computers that work together as one unit. You can set up a cluster using a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or you can set up a local cluster using software like Apache Mesos or Docker Swarm.

Once you have set up a cluster, you can start writing Spark programs. Spark provides a unified API for programming distributed applications, so you can write your program in Java, Python, or Scala. Here is an example of a simple Spark program that prints the numbers 1 to 10:

```scala
// Create a Spark session
val spark = SparkSession.builder()
  .appName("First Spark Program")
  .master("local[*]")
  .getOrCreate()

// Create a DataFrame
val df = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10))
  .toDF("id")

// Print the DataFrame
df.show()
```

**Section 3: Practical Examples**
In this section, we will look at some practical examples of how to use Apache Spark.

**Example 1: Processing data in-memory**
One of the key features of Apache Spark is its ability to process data in-memory. This means that you can load large data sets into memory and process them much faster than if you were using a traditional disk-based system. Here is an example of how to load a CSV file into a DataFrame and count the number of rows:

```scala
// Load a CSV file into a DataFrame
val df = spark.read.option("header", "true")
  .option("inferSchema", "true")
  .csv("path/to/data.csv")

// Count the number of rows
val rowCount = df.count()

// Print the row count
println(s"Total rows: $rowCount")
```

**Example 2: Real-time data processing**
Apache Spark can also be used for real-time data processing. This means that you can ingest data as it arrives and process it immediately. Here is an example of how to create a StreamingContext and process a live stream of data:

```scala
// Create a StreamingContext
val ssc = new StreamingContext(spark.sparkContext, Seconds(1))

// Define a DStream of data
val dataDStream = ssc.socketTextStream("host:port")

// Process the data
val processedDataDStream = dataDStream.map(_ => ("processed", "data"))

// Print the processed data
processedDataDStream.print()
```

**Section 4: Conclusion**
In this lesson, we learned about Apache Spark and how to get started with it. We looked at some practical examples of how to use Spark for data processing, including in-memory processing and real-time data processing. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of the basics of Apache Spark and how to use it to solve real-world data processing problems.

Section 2: Activities

**Education:** One of the primary activities of OIA is to provide education through scholarships and programs. These programs aim to teach people about the history, culture, and heritage of the Armenian nation.

**Social Action:** OIA also takes part in social action activities, which involve working towards positive change in society. This can include fundraising events, community service projects, or advocacy campaigns.

**Fundraising:** Non profit organizations rely on donations and grants to continue their work. OIA participates in fundraising efforts to raise money for their programs and operations.

Section 3: Examples

**Real-World Example:** The Salvation Army is a well-known non profit organization that provides disaster relief, housing assistance, and other social services. They operate through donations and volunteers, and their mission is to help those in need.

**Mathematical Example:** Let's say there is a non profit organization called NMO that aims to provide education to underprivileged children. They receive a grant of $50,000 to use towards their programs. To ensure they are using the money efficiently, they create a budget that allocates funds towards teacher salaries, supplies, and facility rentals.

My friend Gina gave me this book at a New Years party 2009. A cynical prat might fret that Gina had given him a superbly crafted romance novel set on the campus of a stodgy London art school as World War I crashes in. The cynical prat should go ahead and read the book despite any preconceived misgivings, and then show a little gratitude to Gina, who gave birth to her first child, Nico Moon, on July 4 and is obviously tough enough to knock the cheap cynicism out of any prat she meets -- the same can be said about Life Class.

Lesson: Introduction to Watercolor Painting

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Watercolor painting is a technique that uses water-soluble pigments to create artwork. It is a popular medium among artists due to its versatility and ability to create vibrant colors and unique textures. In this lesson, we will explore the basic concepts of watercolor painting, including color theory, composition, and techniques.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Color theory is the study of how colors interact with each other. In watercolor painting, understanding color theory can help you create harmonious and visually appealing compositions. For example, complementary colors (e.g., blue and orange) create a high contrast and vibrancy when used together, while analogous colors (e.g., red, yellow, and green) are more subtle and soothing.

Composition refers to the arrangement of elements within a painting. In watercolor, the composition can be achieved through the use of shapes, lines, and textures. For instance, you can use a circular shape to create a focal point or use diagonal lines to lead the viewer's eye across the painting.

Techniques are the methods used to apply watercolor paint to paper. Some common techniques include dry brushing, wet-on-dry, and glazing. Dry brushing involves applying paint to a dry brush, which creates texture and definition. Wet-on-dry technique involves applying water to an area before applying paint, creating soft edges. Glazing involves applying multiple thin layers of paint to build up color and depth.

## Section 3: Practice
Now that we have learned the theoretical concepts and techniques, let's put them into practice. We will start by creating a simple still life using watercolor paint. First, gather your materials: a piece of watercolor paper, watercolor paints, a brush, and a subject for your painting (e.g., a fruit or flower).

1. Begin by lightly sketching the outline of your subject onto the paper.
2. Wet your brush and dip it into the paint. Apply a wash of color to your painting, using a light touch to create soft edges.
3. Use dry brushing techniques to add texture and definition to your subject.
4. Build up layers of color using glazing techniques to create depth and dimension in your painting.
5. Once you are satisfied with your painting, set it aside to dry completely.

## Glossary
- Color theory: The study of how colors interact with each other.
- Composition: The arrangement of elements within a painting.
- Techniques: Methods used to apply watercolor paint to paper.
- Dry brushing: Applying paint to a dry brush to create texture and definition.
- Wet-on-dry technique: Applying water to an area before applying paint to create soft edges.
- Glazing: Applying multiple thin layers of paint to build up color and depth.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we have explored the basic concepts of watercolor painting, including color theory, composition, and techniques. We then applied these concepts in practice by creating a simple still life using watercolor paint. By understanding and practicing these concepts, you can create stunning and unique works of art using this versatile medium.
