Duyver and Hollings Signed For United’s Prototype Cup Lineup

Third driver pairing confirmed

29 September 2016, 10:47 AM

Jacques Duyver and Charlie Hollings have been confirmed as United Autosports third driver pairing in the inaugural Prototype Cup round at Snetterton in October.

Duyver has raced GT machinery in the Gulf 12 Hours, British GT, GT Cup and the Dubai 24 Hours. He has also raced in the Ferrari Challenge Europe and Ferrari Challenge World Final but has never raced a prototype.

Hollings is no stranger to prototype racing as he has raced LMP1, LMP2 and LMP3 sports prototypes as well as notching up numerous races in GT3 cars in the UK, Europe and overseas. In 2015, Charlie was crowned GT Cup champion in a 458 Ferrari.

Both will attend United Autosports’ exclusive test day at Snetterton on 3-4 October in the lead up to the race weekend.

The Prototype Cup race weekend at Snetterton will feature a 20-minute practice session and 20-minute qualifying on Saturday, followed by a 10-minute warm up and 60-minute pit stop race on Sunday. There will also be a full calendar of British Prototype Cup races for 2017, with the dates to be confirmed soon. The British Prototype Cup has adopted the rules and regulations from the Automobile Club De l’Ouest, who organise the European Le Mans Series.

“It’s great to be joining United Autosports for the first British Prototype Cup race. I have know Richard [Dean] and many of the team since I started racing but never had the opportunity to drive with them, so now it’s nice to finally be part of the team,” said Hollings. “United Autosport have been the stand out team this year in LMP3 in ELMS and have already clinched the LMP3 title with a race to spare, so this is without doubt the best place for Jacques and I to be.

“Having won the overall GT Cup Championship last year and also leading the first ever LMP3 race in ELMS, it’s nice to team up with Jacques, who I know very well from racing and coaching together, and join the new Prototype Cup event. I’m sure the Prototype Cup will continue to grow and be a big part in British Motorsport.

Lesson: Introduction to Patents

**Objective:** To understand what a patent is, why it's important, and how it can be used to protect inventions.

**Level:** Primary through High School

**Introduction:** A patent is a legal document that grants its holder the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time. Inventors apply for patents to protect their ideas and creations from being copied or stolen by others.

**Main Topic:** What is a Patent?

1. **Definition:** A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time, usually 20 years.

2. **Why do we need patents?** Patents are necessary because they encourage inventors to disclose their inventions publicly, which promotes technological progress and innovation. Without patents, inventors might keep their inventions secret, which would slow down technological advancements.

3. **Types of Patents:** There are three types of patents: utility patents, design patents, and plant patents. Utility patents protect new and useful processes, machines, or articles of manufacture. Design patents protect the appearance of an object, while plant patents protect new and distinct varieties of plants.

**Subtopic:** How to Get a Patent

1. **Who can apply for a patent?** Anyone who invents something new and useful can apply for a patent. However, the invention must be novel (not already known) and non-obvious (not easily deduced from existing knowledge).

2. **What is the process for getting a patent?** The process of getting a patent involves filing a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), responding to any office actions raised by the examiner, and eventually receiving a patent if the application is approved.

3. **How long does it take to get a patent?** The patent application process can take several years, depending on the complexity of the invention and the workload of the USPTO examiners.

**Subtopic:** Examples of Patented Inventions

1. **Thomas Edison's Light Bulb:** Edison was granted a patent for his incandescent light bulb in 1879. This invention revolutionized the way people lived and worked by providing a safe, reliable source of electric light.

2. **Alexander Graham Bell's Telephone:** Bell was granted a patent for his telephone in 1876. This invention allowed people to communicate with each other over long distances, transforming the way we live and work today.

3. **The Internet:** The Internet was invented by a group of computer scientists at the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in the 1960s. ARPA was granted a patent for the Internet in 1998. The Internet has changed the way we access information, communicate with others, and conduct business.

**Glossary:**
- Patent: a legal document granting its holder the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time
- Invention: a new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or a new and useful improvement thereof
- Novelty: an invention must be new and not already known to the public
- Non-Obviousness: an invention must be non-obvious and not easily deduced from existing knowledge

**Conclusion:** Understanding patents is essential for anyone interested in inventing, innovating, or simply staying up-to-date with the latest technological advancements. By learning about the basics of patents, we can better appreciate the importance of protecting intellectual property and encouraging technological progress.

Lesson: Introduction to ETFs and Portfolio Management

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment vehicle that tracks an index, such as the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ 100. It trades like a stock on an exchange and allows investors to buy and sell shares throughout the day. ETFs are popular because they offer diversification, liquidity, and low costs.

Portfolio management involves selecting and overseeing a group of investments that meet specific goals, such as growth, income, or capital preservation. A well-managed portfolio considers risk, return, and diversification to maximize potential gains and minimize losses.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's say you have $10,000 to invest. You could buy individual stocks, such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google, or you could invest in an ETF that tracks the NASDAQ 100. By investing in the ETF, you gain exposure to all 100 stocks in the index without having to pick and choose individually. This provides diversification and reduces risk.

For example, if you own shares of the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF (MDY), you own a piece of hundreds of mid-cap companies, including Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc (GMCR), Henry Schein, Inc. (HSIC), and Cimarex Energy Co (XEC). By holding MDY, you benefit from the collective performance of these companies without having to analyze each one individually.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Suppose you have a long-term investment goal of saving for retirement. You could invest in a diversified portfolio of ETFs that track various indices, such as the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and Russell 2000. This would provide exposure to large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks, as well as growth and value companies. By rebalancing your portfolio periodically, you can maintain a consistent asset allocation and reduce risk.

In conclusion, ETFs offer a convenient and cost-effective way to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks. By understanding the underlying holdings and managing your portfolio effectively, you can achieve your investment goals while minimizing risk.

Light-regulated promoters from Synechocystis PCC6803 share a consensus motif involved in photoregulation.
A library of Synechocystis PCC6803 (S.6803) DNA cloned in front of the promoterless cat reporter gene of the plasmid pFF11 was used to transform S.6803 to high light-dependent resistance to chloramphenicol. In five clones harbouring a stably replicating pFF11-derived plasmid, this phenotype occurred independently of the photosystem II electron transport and resulted from the correlated increase of CAT activity level and cat mRNA accumulation. The five promoter inserts contained no Escherichia coli sigma 70 promoter element, in agreement with their lack of activity in this organism, but shared two conserved motifs. Two secondary mutations, which restored light-regulated promoter activity to an inactive mutant of the smallest insert, mapped within one of the common motifs, emphasizing the probable involvement of this element in photoregulation.

Lesson: Understanding Promoters in Bacteria

Introduction:
Promoters are essential components of genes that control when and where a gene is expressed. In bacteria, promoters are DNA sequences that bind to RNA polymerase, an enzyme responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA. This lesson will explore the role of promoters in gene expression and how they can be regulated by environmental factors such as light.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is that promoters play a crucial role in controlling gene expression in bacteria, and understanding their structure and function can help us understand how genes are regulated in response to environmental changes.

Section 1: What are Promoters?

Promoters are DNA sequences that bind to RNA polymerase, an enzyme responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA. They are located upstream of the gene they control and serve as a binding site for the enzyme. When RNA polymerase binds to a promoter, it initiates the process of transcription, which results in the production of RNA from the DNA template.

Section 2: How do Promoters work?

Promoters work by providing a binding site for RNA polymerase, which then initiates transcription. The strength of a promoter depends on its ability to bind RNA polymerase, and different promoters have different affinities for the enzyme. Some promoters are only active under certain conditions, such as in response to environmental changes like light.

Section 3: Regulation of Promoters

Promoters can be regulated by various factors, including environmental conditions. For example, in the case study mentioned above, researchers found that a promoter in the bacteria Synechocystis PCC6803 was regulated by light. This promoter shared a consensus motif involved in photoregulation, which allowed it to be turned on or off depending on the presence or absence of light.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, promoters are essential components of genes that control when and where a gene is expressed. By understanding the structure and function of promoters, we can gain insight into how genes are regulated in response to environmental changes. This knowledge can be applied to fields such as biotechnology, where the ability to control gene expression is crucial for producing specific proteins or enzymes.

Glossary:
- Promoter: A DNA sequence that binds to RNA polymerase, initiating the process of transcription.
- RNA polymerase: An enzyme responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA.
- Transcription: The process of copying DNA into RNA.
- Gene expression: The process by which a gene's information is used to produce a functional product, such as a protein.

Self-Debate Discussion:
Why is it important to understand how promoters work and how they can be regulated by environmental factors?

Answer: Understanding how promoters work and how they can be regulated by environmental factors is important because it allows us to control gene expression in response to specific conditions. This knowledge can be applied to fields such as biotechnology, where the ability to control gene expression is crucial for producing specific proteins or enzymes. Additionally, understanding the regulation of promoters can help us better understand the evolution of gene regulation and the adaptation of organisms to changing environments.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Chiropractic Care

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about chiropractic care, a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Chiropractors believe that the spine houses the central nervous system, which controls all bodily functions. Therefore, any misalignment or interference in the spine can cause pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body.

## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
Let's consider a hypothetical example. John has been experiencing headaches and neck pain for the past few weeks. He visits a chiropractor who examines his spine and finds that one of his vertebrae is misaligned. The chiropractor performs a spinal adjustment to realign the vertebrae and relieve the pressure on John's nerves. After just a few sessions, John reports that his headaches and neck pain have significantly improved.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
One common argument against chiropractic care is that it lacks scientific evidence to support its effectiveness. Proponents of chiropractic care argue that while there may not be extensive research, there are many cases like John's where chiropractic care has helped alleviate pain and improve function. They also point out that traditional medicine often treats symptoms with drugs, whereas chiropractic care addresses the root cause of the problem by correcting spinal misalignments.

## Glossary
- Chiropractor: A healthcare professional who specializes in chiropractic care
- Vertebrae: The individual bones that make up the spine
- Central nervous system: The part of the nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord
- Spinal adjustment: A manual therapy technique used by chiropractors to restore joint mobility and function
- Misalignment: A condition in which the vertebrae are not properly aligned

## Conclusion
In conclusion, chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. By realigning misaligned vertebrae and relieving pressure on nerves, chiropractors aim to improve overall health and wellness. While there may be debate over the scientific evidence supporting chiropractic care, it remains a popular option for many individuals seeking relief from pain and dysfunction.

As a senior myself, I worry about my caps and gowns as much as every other senior student on campus. All of that costs money and it could possibly be much more than we thought it was. Depending on the packages they offer and their prices, whichever one works for you, that is the one you would pay for. There are different kinds of ways that you can pay for your senior package. The senior SUPER package came with everything such as invitation cards, t-shirts of your class year, sweats/shorts of your choice, invitation cards and welcoming cards, the cap, gown, tassel, stole including your customized class ring. The SUPER package costs about almost $500. The senior package I got was called the Platinum package which included everything except the ring. In total, including tax, it would cost around $300..

Drawing upon their new study of more than 1,000 large companies, the authors argue that managers must move beyond the current wave of downsizing, restructuring, and reengineering. Contrary to current management fads, they contend that companies must grow to be great. Managers now involved in downsizing must consider long-term goals for growth alongside short-term measures for slimming. Gertz and Baptista shatter popular corporate myths by revealing that growth opportunities are everywhere, across all business sectors -- even in stable industries and in companies "too big to grow.".

Lesson: Introduction to Gutter Systems

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

A gutter system is a crucial component of any building's drainage system. It is designed to collect and channel water away from the structure, preventing water damage and maintaining the integrity of the building. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of gutter systems, their components, and how they work.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

Let's imagine you are a homeowner who wants to install a gutter system on your house. What would you need to consider? First, you would need to determine the appropriate size and style of gutter for your roof. You would also need to choose the right type of gutter guard or cover to prevent debris from clogging the system. Once you have selected the appropriate components, you would need to measure and cut the gutter to fit your roof. Finally, you would need to install the gutter, securing it to the roof and making sure it is level.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**

Now let's consider a scenario where you are a contractor hired to install a gutter system on a commercial building. In addition to the considerations listed above, you would need to take into account the specific requirements of a larger building, such as the capacity of the gutter system to handle a greater volume of water. You would also need to ensure that the gutter system is designed to withstand the additional weight and stress of a commercial building.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, gutter systems are essential for managing water flow around buildings. By understanding the different types of gutter systems, their components, and how they work, you can make informed decisions about which system is best for your needs. Whether you are a homeowner or a contractor, it's important to carefully consider all aspects of a gutter system to ensure it functions effectively and protects your property from water damage.

**Glossary**

- Gutter: A channel, typically made of metal or plastic, that directs water away from a building
- Trough: A long, narrow channel or depression in a surface
- Masking bar: A decorative strip that covers the front of the trough to create a smooth finish effect
- Drainage: The process by which excess water is removed from a building or site
- Capacity: The maximum amount of water a gutter system can handle at one time

**Self-Debate Discussion**

Lesson: The Importance of Prevention and Early Detection of Health Issues
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of prevention and early detection of health issues. We will explore how regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations can help prevent illnesses and detect them at an early stage. We will also discuss the role of medical professionals in promoting health and wellness.

Auburn Ski Club set to host biathlon
championship

CourtesyPhil Violett , seen training last week, has been a member of the Auburn Ski Club since he was 7 years old.

There may not be any snow yet.

But the Auburn Ski Club is getting ready to host the USBA National Summer Biathlon Championships next week in Lake Tahoe. The event, which taking place at the ski club’s Training Center on Donner Summit, goes from Thursday, Aug. 23 to Sunday, Aug. 26.

Organizers say entries are coming in from all over the nation to take part in this annual test of running — not skiing — and shooting skills.

This will be the 25th annual summer biathlon championships, which were first contested in 1988.

The summer biathlon has grown out of one of the original winter Olympic sports of biathlon, in which athletes challenge their cross-country ski and shooting skills.

In the winter, biathletes cross-country ski a course carrying a specialized .22-caliber rifle on their backs, stopping to shoot at targets 50 meters away. Each shooting round involves five shots with a 150-meter penalty loop being required to be skied for each miss.

During the summer, biathletes leave their rifles on the range and replace skiing with running. The shooting is the same — as runners have to calm their breathing and pulse as they enter the range to have the best chance of hitting their targets.

The Auburn Ski Club has the only biathlon shooting range in the Tahoe area and attracts athletes year-round who wish to try biathlon and train for local and regional competitions.

Spectators will be welcome at the event.

There will also be a 3km Novice Race and 1km Youth Race offered on Saturday, Aug. 25. No experience is required but a mandatory safety clinic will be given before the race.

Rifles and ammunition will be provided. Parents must register their children prior to the clinic and sign a liability waiver on the day of the event, which is open to those ages 8-18.

More information is available at the Auburn Ski Club website at www.auburnskiclub.org/nordic/biathlon , or by emailing biathlon@assoc.auburnskiclub.org.

Lesson: Biathlon - A Combination of Running and Shooting

Introduction:
Biathlon is a sport that combines the endurance of running with the precision of shooting. It is an exciting and challenging activity that requires a combination of physical fitness, mental focus, and technical skill. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of biathlon, including its history, equipment, and techniques.

Section 1: History of Biathlon

Biathlon originated in Norway in the late 18th century as a way for skiers to hunt game more efficiently. The sport evolved into a competitive event in the early 20th century and was included in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1960. Today, biathlon is a popular winter sport that is enjoyed by athletes around the world.

Section 2: Equipment

The equipment used in biathlon includes a rifle, skis, boots, poles, and a shooting range. The rifle is designed specifically for biathlon competition and is equipped with a magazine that holds five bullets. The skis are designed for both speed and maneuverability, with a waxed surface to reduce friction. The boots are lightweight and flexible, allowing for a smooth and efficient stride. The poles are used for balance and support while skiing.

Section 3: Techniques

There are two main techniques used in biathlon: prone and standing. In the prone position, the athlete lies down on the snow and shoots from a sitting position. In the standing position, the athlete shoots while standing upright. Each shot must be taken within a specific time frame, and penalties are assessed for missed shots or time exceeded.

Section 4: Training

To excel in biathlon, athletes must train in both running and shooting. Running workouts may include intervals, hill repeats, and long-distance endurance runs. Shooting drills focus on improving accuracy, speed, and technique. Athletes also spend time practicing transitions between running and shooting, as well as ski waxing and maintenance.

Section 5: Competition

Biathlon events typically consist of a series of laps around a loop, with each lap including two shooting stages. Athletes must ski a certain distance before stopping to shoot at five targets. For each missed target, the athlete must ski a penalty loop before continuing. The athlete with the fastest overall time wins the race.

Conclusion:
Biathlon is a unique and exciting sport that combines the endurance of running with the precision of shooting. By understanding the history, equipment, and techniques of biathlon, athletes can develop the skills necessary to excel in this challenging and rewarding activity.

Lesson: Introduction to Payment Methods
## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about different payment methods and their advantages and disadvantages. We will cover the following topics:
- Credit/Debit Cards
- Cash
- Cashier's Check
- Bank Deposit
- Internal Financing Program
## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's take a look at some real-world scenarios where these payment methods could be used:
- Credit/Debit Cards: When you purchase something online or in a store, you may use your credit or debit card to pay for it. This is a convenient way to pay because you don't have to carry cash with you. However, if you don't pay off your credit card balance in full each month, you may accrue interest charges.
- Cash: If you are purchasing something small, like a snack from a vending machine, you may prefer to use cash instead of a card. This way, you don't have to worry about any fees or interest charges.
- Cashier's Check: If you are buying a larger item, like a car, you may want to use a cashier's check instead of cash. This is because a cashier's check is guaranteed by the bank and is less likely to be counterfeit.
- Bank Deposit: If you are receiving money into your account, such as a paycheck or a refund, you may want to use a bank deposit instead of a cashier's check. This way, you don't have to worry about losing or misplacing the check.
- Internal Financing Program: If you are purchasing something expensive, like a piece of furniture or a appliance, you may want to use an internal financing program. This is a loan offered by the seller, which means you don't have to go through a bank or other lender.
## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Let's consider the pros and cons of each payment method:
- Credit/Debit Cards: Pros - Convenient, Cons - Can accrue interest charges
- Cash: Pros - No fees or interest charges, Cons - Not accepted everywhere
- Cashier's Check: Pros - Guaranteed by bank, Cons - Less convenient than cash
- Bank Deposit: Pros - Safer than cash, Cons - Not always accepted
- Internal Financing Program: Pros - Easier than going through a bank, Cons - May have higher interest rates
## Glossary
- Credit/Debit Card: A card that allows you to borrow money to purchase something, and then pay it back with interest.
- Cashier's Check: A check written by a bank, guaranteeing that the funds are available.
- Bank Deposit: Money deposited into a bank account.
- Internal Financing Program: A loan offered by the seller of a product or service.
## Conclusion
Understanding the different payment methods and their advantages and disadvantages can help you make informed decisions about how to pay for things. By considering the pros and cons of each method, you can choose the one that best fits your needs and financial situation.

**Lesson: Introduction to Photography**

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of photography, including the history of photography, the different types of cameras, and the essential elements of a good photograph.

**Section 1: History of Photography**

Photography is the process of capturing light and turning it into an image. It was first invented in the early 19th century by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, who created the first permanent photograph in 1826. Since then, photography has evolved significantly, with advancements in technology allowing us to capture images in new and innovative ways.

**Section 2: Types of Cameras**

There are several different types of cameras used in photography today. These include digital cameras, film cameras, and mirrorless cameras. Digital cameras use a sensor to capture images and store them on a memory card. Film cameras use a roll of film to capture images, which must be developed and printed by a professional lab. Mirrorless cameras are a hybrid between digital and film cameras, offering the convenience of digital photography while still using a physical camera body.

**Section 3: Essential Elements of a Good Photograph**

A good photograph typically includes several essential elements. These include composition, lighting, subject matter, and mood. Composition refers to the arrangement of visual elements within the frame, while lighting affects the overall look and feel of the image. Subject matter refers to the object or person being photographed, and mood refers to the emotional impact of the image.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's take a look at a few practical examples to illustrate these concepts. In this image, the photographer has used a shallow depth of field to create a sense of depth and draw attention to the subject matter. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The composition is balanced and symmetrical, with the subject matter placed off-center to create a sense of visual interest.

**Section 5: Self-Debate Discussion**

As you continue to develop your photography skills, it's important to engage in critical thinking and self-debate. Ask yourself questions like, "Does this image effectively convey the mood I intended?", or "Could I have composed this image differently to create more visual interest?" By engaging in these types of discussions, you'll be able to improve your photography skills over time.

**Glossary:**
- Composition: The arrangement of visual elements within the frame
- Lighting: The overall look and feel of an image, determined by the type and quality of light used
- Subject matter: The object or person being photographed
- Mood: The emotional impact of an image

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we've learned about the history of photography, the different types of cameras, and the essential elements of a good photograph. By understanding these concepts, we can begin to develop our own photography skills and create images that effectively convey our intended message. As we continue to practice and refine our craft, we'll be able to apply these skills to new and exciting photographic challenges.
