Lesson: Introduction to Australian Rules Football

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about Australian Rules Football (AFL), its history, and the 2016 NWFL season. We will cover the participating clubs, leading goalkickers, and premierships. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the basic rules of AFL and apply them to real-world scenarios.

### Section 1: Introduction to Australian Rules Football

Australian Rules Football (AFL) is a contact sport played between two teams of eighteen players each. The game is played on an oval field with goalposts at either end. The objective of the game is to score points by kicking the ball through the goalposts.

### Section 2: History of the AFL

The first recorded game of Australian Rules Football was played on July 15, 1858, in Melbourne, Australia. The game was developed as a way for young men to stay fit during the winter months when cricket was not being played. The rules of the game were developed by a group of men who called themselves the "Melbourne Football Club."

### Section 3: 2016 NWFL Season

The 2016 NWFL season was an Australian Rules Football competition that was played across North-West Tasmania, Australia. The season consisted of nineteen roster rounds and four finals series matches. Participating clubs included Burnie Dockers Football Club (Reserve Team), Devonport Football Club (Reserve Team), East Devonport Football Club, Latrobe Football Club, Penguin Football Club, Smithton Football Club, and Ulverstone Football Club.

### Section 4: Leading Goalkickers

The leading goalkicker in the 2016 NWFL season was Ryan Keep from the Latrobe team, who scored 103 goals throughout the season. Chris McDonald from the Penguin team came in second place with 70 goals, and Nick Milbourne from the East Devonport team finished third with 56 goals.

### Section 5: Premiership Season

The 2016 NWFL season concluded with a Premiership Season. The top four teams at the end of the regular season qualified for the finals series. Latrobe won the premiership by defeating East Devonport in the grand final.

Jun N-terminal kinase pathway enhances signaling of monocytic differentiation of human leukemia cells induced by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.
Recent studies revealed that the MEK/ERK module of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades is up-regulated in the early stages of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25D(3))-induced monocytic differentiation of human leukemia cells HL60. In the present study, we investigated whether another MAPK module, the JNK pathway, also participates in this form of differentiation. We found that the dependence on the concentration of the inducer, the vitamin-hormone 1,25D(3), in two types of human leukemia cells, HL60 and U937, and the kinetics of monocytic differentiation in HL60 cells, parallel the degree of the activation of the JNK pathway. A blockade of JNK signaling by a stable expression of dominant negative (dn) JNK1 mutant in U937 cells resulted in reduced c-jun phosphorylation, and the differentiation of these cells was markedly decreased. Similarly, inhibition of JNK1 and JNK2 activities by the selective inhibitor SP600125 led to both dose-dependent reduction of c-jun and ATF-2 phosphorylation, and of the differentiation of HL60 cells. In addition, we found that JNK activity is essential for the AP-1 DNA binding induced by 1,25D(3) in HL60 and U937 cells. The results indicate that in cultured human leukemia cells, the JNK pathway participates in the induction of monocytic differentiation by 1,25D(3), probably by activating the AP-1 transcription factor.

Lesson: Introduction to Signaling Pathways in Cellular Differentiation

Overview: In this lesson, we will learn about signaling pathways in cellular differentiation, specifically focusing on the JNK pathway and its role in monocytic differentiation of human leukemia cells.

Level: Primary through High School

Section 1: What are Signaling Pathways?

Signaling pathways are a series of molecular events that transmit information from the cell surface to the nucleus or other cellular compartments. These pathways play a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Section 2: The JNK Pathway

The JNK pathway, also known as the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. It is involved in regulating cell proliferation, survival, and apoptosis. The JNK pathway is activated by various cellular stresses and inflammatory cytokines.

Section 3: The JNK Pathway and Monocytic Differentiation

Recent studies have shown that the JNK pathway plays a significant role in the monocytic differentiation of human leukemia cells. The activation of the JNK pathway leads to the phosphorylation of c-jun, which in turn promotes the expression of monocytic genes, such as CD14, and inhibits the expression of myeloid genes, such as MYH11.

Section 4: Examples and Applications

We can use the JNK pathway as an example to understand how signaling pathways regulate cellular differentiation. In the case of human leukemia cells, the activation of the JNK pathway by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 promotes their differentiation into monocytes. This process involves the upregulation of monocytic genes and the downregulation of myeloid genes.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we have learned about signaling pathways, specifically the JNK pathway, and their role in cellular differentiation. Understanding the mechanisms behind cellular differentiation can help us develop targeted therapies for various diseases, including cancer. By studying the JNK pathway, we can gain insights into how this pathway can be modulated to promote or inhibit differentiation in specific cell types.

Glossary:

- Signaling pathways: Series of molecular events that transmit information within a cell
- JNK pathway: Member of the MAPK family that regulates cell proliferation, survival, and apoptosis
- Monocytic differentiation: Process by which cells differentiate into monocytes
- Human leukemia cells: Cells that originate in the bone marrow but do not mature properly, leading to the production of abnormal white blood cells
- 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3: Active form of vitamin D that plays a role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function
- c-jun: Transcription factor that regulates gene expression in response to cellular stresses and inflammatory cytokines

Lesson: Creating Harmony in Complex Networks

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about creating harmony in complex networks. We will explore how scientists work with musicians to reveal new strategies for dealing with frustration and achieving synchrony in complex networks. We will also discover how humans can achieve something that other networks cannot, including birds, fish, planets, particles, and pendulums.

Section 1: Understanding Complex Networks

Topic 1: What are complex networks?
A complex network is a system made up of many components that interact with each other. These networks can be found in many areas of our lives, such as transportation systems, computer networks, and social media platforms.

Topic 2: Why do we study complex networks?
We study complex networks because they are everywhere in our lives. By understanding how these networks work, we can make better decisions, improve our communication, and create more efficient systems.

Topic 3: What are some examples of complex networks?
Some examples of complex networks include the internet, the human brain, and the power grid.

Section 2: Strategies for Dealing with Frustration and Achieving Synchrony in Complex Networks

Topic 1: What is frustration?
Frustration occurs when two or more components of a complex network try to move in opposite directions or at different speeds. This can lead to a breakdown in the network's ability to function properly.

Topic 2: How can we deal with frustration in complex networks?
Scientists have discovered several strategies for dealing with frustration in complex networks. One approach is to use algorithms that help the network find a balance between order and chaos. Another strategy is to introduce randomness into the network to prevent it from getting stuck in a single state.

Topic 3: What is synchrony?
Synchrony refers to the ability of a complex network to move in unison, or in harmony, despite its many components. Achieving synchrony is essential for the network to function properly.

Section 3: Applying the Concepts to Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: How can we apply the concept of synchrony to our daily lives?
By understanding the principles of synchrony, we can apply them to our daily lives to create more harmonious relationships with others. For example, we can listen actively and respond appropriately to others' needs and concerns.

Topic 2: How can we apply the concept of frustration to our daily lives?
By understanding the principles of frustration, we can apply them to our daily lives to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings. For example, we can learn to compromise and find common ground with others.

Topic 3: How can we apply the concept of complex networks to our daily lives?
By understanding the principles of complex networks, we can apply them to our daily lives to create more efficient systems. For example, we can use algorithms to optimize our schedules and improve our productivity.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about creating harmony in complex networks. We have explored how scientists work with musicians to reveal new strategies for dealing with frustration and achieving synchrony in complex networks. We have also discovered how humans can achieve something that other networks cannot, including birds, fish, planets, particles, and pendulums.

text: Best Practices. The best practices mentioned here that affect database design generally refer to best practices when working with Doctrine and do not necessarily reflect best practices for database design in general.. Avoid composite keys. Even though Doctrine fully supports composite keys it is best not to use them if possible. Composite keys require additional work by Doctrine and thus have a higher probability of errors... Don't use identifier quoting. Identifier quoting is a workaround for using reserved words that often causes problems in edge cases. Do not use identifier quoting and avoid using reserved words as table or column names.. Initialize collections in the constructor. It is recommended best practice to initialize any business collections in entities in the constructor. Example:. Don't map foreign keys to fields in an entity.. Use explicit transaction demarcation.

textbook:
Lesson: Best Practices for Database Design

### Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about some best practices for database design. We will focus on the practices that are specific to working with Doctrine, but these principles can also be applied to other database design scenarios.

### Section 1: Avoid Composite Keys

**Theoretical Concept:** A composite key is a key that consists of more than one column. In Doctrine, composite keys are supported, but they are not recommended because they can cause issues with performance and data consistency.

**Practical Example:** Suppose you have a table called "orders" with columns "order_id" and "customer_id". You want to create a unique constraint on these two columns to ensure that each order has a unique customer. However, using a composite key may lead to performance issues and data inconsistencies.

**Real-World Scenario:** Imagine you are working on an e-commerce website that uses the "orders" table to store information about customer orders. If you use a composite key, it may be difficult to update the "customer_id" column if the customer changes their mind about which products they want to purchase. This could lead to data inconsistencies and errors.

**Conclusion:** Avoid using composite keys in your database design, especially when working with Doctrine. Instead, consider using alternative strategies such as sequence generators or UUIDs to generate unique identifiers for your tables.

### Section 2: Don't Use Identifier Quoting

**Theoretical Concept:** Identifier quoting is a technique used in some database systems to allow users to use reserved words as column or table names. However, this approach can cause issues with performance and data consistency.

**Practical Example:** Suppose you want to create a table called "order" with a column named "order_date". However, the word "order" is a reserved word in your database system. To get around this issue, you can use identifier quoting to enclose the reserved word in double quotes.

**Real-World Scenario:** Imagine you are working on an inventory management system that uses the "order" table to store information about customer orders. If you use identifier quoting, it may be difficult to write SQL queries that correctly reference the table and column names. This could lead to data inconsistencies and errors.

**Conclusion:** Avoid using identifier quoting in your database design. Instead, try to find alternative naming conventions for your tables and columns that do not conflict with reserved words.

### Section 3: Initialize Collections in the Constructor

**Theoretical Concept:** In object-oriented programming, a collection is a group of objects that are managed by a single instance of a class. Initializing collections in the constructor ensures that they are created only once and reduces the likelihood of errors.

**Practical Example:** Suppose you have an entity called "Order" that has a collection of items called "items". To ensure that the "items" collection is initialized only once, you should initialize it in the constructor of the "Order" class.

**Real-World Scenario:** Imagine you are working on an e-commerce website that uses the "Order" entity to store information about customer orders. If you do not initialize the "items" collection in the constructor, it may be possible for multiple instances of the "Order" class to create separate collections, leading to data inconsistencies and errors.

**Conclusion:** Always initialize collections in the constructor of your entities to ensure that they are created only once and reduce the likelihood of errors.

### Glossary
- Composite key: A key that consists of more than one column.
- Identifier quoting: A technique used in some database systems to allow users to use reserved words as column or table names.
- Collection: A group of objects that are managed by a single instance of a class.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about three best practices for database design: avoiding composite keys, not using identifier quoting, and initializing collections in the constructor. These principles can help us create more efficient and reliable databases that are easy to maintain and scale. By following these guidelines, we can ensure that our databases are designed with the highest standards of quality and performance.

PRN: Eurostar Reports Leap in Sales on 29 February

After decades at the top of the pile, Paris still topped the list of most romantic European cities for both men and women with almost a third of both sexes voting the city as more romantic than either Venice or Rome.

Eurostar Reports Leap in Sales on 29 February

[09-March-2012]

LONDON, March 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Eurostar has revealed that this Leap Year saw thousands of couples travelling for a romantic break with the company reporting a 24%1 surge in bookings on Wednesday 29 February, compared to Wednesday 2 March last year.

New research by Eurostar* reveals almost half (47 per cent) of women would propose to their partner. The study also found that those women who do pluck up the courage can expect a positive response, with 75 per cent of the men questioned saying they would be comfortable if their girlfriend proposed. This is particularly the case in the West Country and Yorkshire, where 90 per cent of the 'modern' men questioned in Bristol and Leeds saying they would be comfortable if their partner popped the question, compared to only half (50 per cent) of the more traditional men in Belfast.

When it comes to timing it seems both men and women are in agreement. Almost half of the men and women questioned (49 vs. 42 per cent) said they would ideally propose on a romantic holiday, compared to 34 per cent and 21 per cent respectively on their partner's birthday, and 31 per cent and 27 per cent respectively on their anniversary.

After decades at the top of the pile, Paris still topped the list of most romantic European cities for both men and women with almost a third of both sexes voting the city as more romantic than either Venice or Rome. Whereas, Berlin was voted as the least romantic city with less than 1% of those questioned claiming the city set their hearts a flutter.

The most romantic European cities according to Eurostar's research are:

1. Paris (30%)

2. Venice (26%)

3. Rome (15%)

4. Barcelona (5%)

5. Prague (4%)

Mary Walsh, Director of Communications for Eurostar said: "Each year we see a jump in bookings to Paris for Valentine's Day and this year with attractive pricing we've seen a real surge on February 29, compared to a typical Wednesday. Paris has always been seen as one of the most romantic cities in the world and with the city constantly changing, there's always somewhere new to explore each time you visit."

The current Eurostar train was first introduced into service in 1994 carrying 750 passengers and operating at speeds of up to 300kph. Since then, the fleet of 28 trains has carried more than 115 million passengers between London and the Continent. Following their refurbishment these trains will continue to form a core part of the Eurostar fleet,

Lesson: How to Read and Understand News Articles

Introduction:

Reading news articles is an essential skill for staying informed and engaged with the world around us. However, not all news articles are created equal, and understanding the nuances of different types of articles can be challenging. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of news articles and how to read them effectively.

Types of News Articles:

There are several types of news articles, each with its own structure and purpose. These include:

1. Hard News: These articles report on current events or breaking news. They are typically written in a straightforward manner, with little analysis or opinion.

2. Feature Stories: These articles are longer and more in-depth than hard news articles. They often focus on a particular person, place, or event and provide background information and context.

3. Editorials: These articles express the opinions of the author or the publication. They are typically written by editors or columnists and are meant to persuade readers to a particular point of view.

4. Opinion Pieces: These articles express the opinions of the author but are typically shorter than editorials. They may be written in response to a current event or issue.

How to Read News Articles:

1. Read the headline and lead paragraph carefully. These will give you the basic information you need to understand the article.

2. Look for the date and location of the article. This information is important for understanding the context of the article.

3. Pay attention to the structure of the article. Hard news articles typically follow a chronological order, while feature stories may use a narrative structure.

4. Look for quotes from experts or people involved in the story. These quotes can provide valuable insight into the issue being reported.

5. Be aware of the author's tone and perspective. This can help you understand their intentions and how reliable the information may be.

6. Use critical thinking skills to evaluate the credibility of the source and the accuracy of the information presented.

Conclusion:

Reading news articles can be an engaging and rewarding experience. By understanding the different types of articles and how to read them effectively, you can stay informed and engaged with the world around you. Remember to ask questions, evaluate sources, and think critically about the information presented.

Q:

Which came first, man or animal?

Genesis 1:24-27 states that humans were created after the other animals, and the first man and woman were created simultaneously.

1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

While Genesis 2:18-22 states that man was created first, then the animals and only then the woman from the man's rib.

2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Which one is the correct order of events?

A:

In order to understand the meaning of any text, you must understand it's purpose. If you don't understand why a bit of text was written, you are quite likely to come away with a bad understanding of what it means.
In this case your question assumes a mis-understanding of the purpose of the two texts in question. If you correct that understanding, it becomes apparent that there is actually no contradiction and nothing that needs resolving from an inerrancy standpoint.
The two chapters you quote from in Genesis serve slightly different purposes. It is quite common on ancient Hebrew literature to repeat parts of a story in different ways to draw out different points. In this case one passage tells us something about the Chronology of events, the second goes on to give us another event that happens to be sandwiched inbetween the last steps of the first event that includes some additional commentary.
If you want to know in what order things were created, Genesis 1 should be your guide.
In Genesis 2, we find out that that (presumably about day 6) God was trying to show Adam that his own personal help-mate was going to be a different kind of creature than the animals, so after he makes Adam but before he makes Eve he parades the rest of the created order before Adam and demonstrates that none of them are like he is. The animals are not made on the spot, there is just a bit of commentary that reminds us that they were created out of the ground. In the process, all the animals get names.
But then we go on to the creation of Eve, made not out of the ground but out of Adam's flesh. This second chapter helps us establish some order or rank to creation as well as lay the foundation for its purpose, not re-sequence the events of creation.

A:

In verse 19, it also talks about how formed the fowls of the air, while in chapter one, it says that they were created on day 5, a day before man. Therefore, it can be inferred that that there is shift between verses 18 and 19, while it goes back in time a little to give a better understanding of how he noticed that he needed one. While the first chapter was about detailing what happened in what order over the course of days, chapter two is much more detailed, but not entirely chronological. Also, since Eve was made from a rib taken from Adam after he noticed his lack of a female counterpart, she was obviously made after.

A:

The creation story in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is written in a different style than the more primitive creation story in Genesis 2:4b-25. The first creation story is consistent in style and language with other passages attributed to the Priestly Source, and is therefore also attributed to the same source.  The second creation story is consistent in style and language with other passages attributed to the anonymous source now known as the Yahwist. Although the documentary hypothesis is no longer considered as simple and straight-forward an explanation of the development of the Pentateuch as it was once believed, in one form or another the hypothesis remains the best explanation we have.
Leon R. Kass says in The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis, at page 56, that once we recognise the independence of the two creation stories, we are compelled to adopt a critical principle of reading if we mean to understand each story on its own terms. We must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa.
In the first story, animals are created before man and in the second story, the man is created before the animals. As Kass has inferred, this should not be seen as a contradiction, but the inevitable result of two different stories being written by two different authors. There is no need to regard either one as more correct than the other.

Lesson: Understanding the order of creation in Genesis

Introduction:
The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible, and it contains the stories of the creation of the world and the first humans. In this lesson, we will explore the order of creation as described in Genesis 1 and 2. We will examine the differences between these two accounts and try to understand what they mean.

Section 1: Genesis 1

In Genesis 1, we are told that God created the heavens and the earth, and then he separated light from darkness. On the third day, he created the sun, moon, and stars. On the sixth day, he created the first humans, male and female, and gave them dominion over all the animals.

Questions:
- What does it mean that God created the heavens and the earth?
- How did God separate light from darkness?
- Why did God create the sun, moon, and stars on the fourth day?
- Who were the first humans created by God?

Section 2: Genesis 2

In Genesis 2, we are told that God formed the first man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Then he created the first woman from the man's rib and brought her to him.

Questions:
- How was the first man created?
- What was the first woman's relationship to the first man?
- Why was she created?

Section 3: Comparing Genesis 1 and 2

Although both accounts describe the creation of the world and the first humans, there are some differences between them. In Genesis 1, God creates the first humans at the same time as all the other animals, while in Genesis 2, he creates them separately. Additionally, in Genesis 2, the first man is created before the first woman, while in Genesis 1, they are created at the same time.

Questions:
- What are the differences between the two accounts of creation?
- Which account do you think is more accurate?
- Why are there differences between the two accounts?

Conclusion:

Understanding the order of creation in Genesis can be challenging, but it is an important part of understanding the Bible as a whole. By examining the two accounts of creation in Genesis 1 and 2, we can see that there are some differences between them. However, both accounts ultimately point to the same truth: that God is the creator of all things, and that he created humans in his own image. By studying these accounts, we can gain a deeper understanding of our place in the world and our relationship with God.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand Hotel Reviews

Introduction:
Hotel reviews are a valuable tool when searching for accommodations. They provide insights into the quality of service, cleanliness, comfort, and overall satisfaction of guests who have stayed at the hotel. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand hotel reviews to make informed decisions about our travel plans.

Section 1: Understanding Hotel Review Sources

There are several websites where you can find hotel reviews, including Hotels.com, Expedia, Booking.com, Agoda, Priceline, Travelocity, TripOnline SA, Ctrip TA, and Hotwire. These websites allow guests to leave reviews after their stay, which can help future guests determine if the hotel is a good fit for their needs.

Section 2: Reading Hotel Reviews

When reading hotel reviews, there are several key elements to look for:

1. Rating: Most review websites use a star system to rate hotels. Look for hotels with high ratings (4-5 stars) to ensure a positive experience.

2. Comments: Read through the comments left by other guests to get a sense of their experience. Pay attention to any common themes or issues mentioned.

3. Pros and Cons: Many reviews will list the pros and cons of the hotel. This can help you determine if the hotel's strengths align with your preferences and if its weaknesses will be an issue for you.

4. Specific Details: Look for reviews that provide specific details about the hotel, such as the cleanliness of the room, the quality of the breakfast, or the helpfulness of the staff.

Section 3: Analyzing Hotel Reviews

Once you have read through several hotel reviews, you can begin to analyze the information to make an informed decision. Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is the hotel's rating consistent across multiple review websites?

2. Are there common themes or issues mentioned in the reviews?

3. Are there specific details mentioned that align with your preferences?

4. Does the hotel have a responsive management team that addresses guest concerns?

Section 4: Applying Skills to New Problems

Once you have learned how to read and understand hotel reviews, you can apply these skills to other decision-making processes. For example, you can use similar techniques to read and understand restaurant reviews or product reviews before making a purchase.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned how to read and understand hotel reviews to make informed decisions about our travel plans. By understanding the source of the reviews, analyzing the information provided, and applying these skills to new problems, we can make confident decisions about our accommodations.

Women Who've Had A Sister With Breast Cancer Wanted for a Study

Women who've had a sister with breast cancer can make a difference in the fight against the disease by joining The Sister Study (http://www.thesisterstudy.org/), an important new nationwide effort to find the causes of breast cancer. Study directors are looking for 50,000 women, ages 35-74, who have not had breast cancer themselves, and who come from all walks of life.Upon being accepted in the trial, the women will complete a questionnaire and then submit a health update each year over 10 years.Researchers will compare study members who go on to develop breast cancer with those who do not develop the disease to learn about possible environmental and genetic causes for the disease, as well as ways to prevent breast cancer.A major challenge in studying breast cancer and the environment has been the lack of useful data gathered before diagnosis about exposures and lifestyle factors. The National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences will provide the funding needed to collect this important information. Two NIEHS scientists, Dale Sander, PhD, and Clarice Weinberg, PhD, are the principal investigators for the Sister Study.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women except for non-melanoma skin cancer, and while there's been great improvement in breast cancer treatments and survival rates, about 40,000 US women are still expected to die from the disease this year.What causes one woman to develop the disease instead of someone else?

Researchers know that alcohol use, early onset of menstruation, and a few other factors may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, but for more than half of the 215,000 new cases each year occur in women with no known risk factors.

Women who want to support The Sister Study of possible causes of breast cancer have three choices:Enroll. Learn whether you are eligible at www.sisterstudy.org or call 1-877-4SISTER (877-474-7837).Spread the word to encourage others to enroll.Become a Sister Study volunteer in your community.It's especially important that women from all races and ethnic groups, and those over age 60 participate, so the results of the study will help all women in the battle against breast cancer.

Lesson: Introduction to Causes of Breast Cancer

## Chapter 1: Introduction

In this lesson, we will explore the causes of breast cancer. We will learn about the Sister Study, which is a nationwide effort to find the causes of breast cancer. We will also discuss the importance of studying breast cancer and the environment.

## Chapter 2: The Sister Study

The Sister Study is a research project that aims to find the causes of breast cancer. The study is looking for 50,000 women between the ages of 35 and 74 who have not had breast cancer themselves but have had a sister with breast cancer. The women will complete a questionnaire and then submit a health update each year over 10 years. Researchers will compare study members who go on to develop breast cancer with those who do not develop the disease to learn about possible environmental and genetic causes for the disease, as well as ways to prevent breast cancer.

## Chapter 3: Importance of Studying Breast Cancer and the Environment

Studying breast cancer and the environment is important because it can help us understand the causes of the disease and how to prevent it. A major challenge in studying breast cancer and the environment has been the lack of useful data gathered before diagnosis about exposures and lifestyle factors. The Sister Study is a major step towards collecting this important information. By comparing women who develop breast cancer with those who do not, researchers can learn about possible environmental and genetic causes for the disease, as well as ways to prevent breast cancer.

## Chapter 4: Practical Examples

Let's consider a practical example. Suppose we have two women in the Sister Study, both of whom have had a sister with breast cancer. One woman smokes cigarettes and drinks alcohol regularly, while the other woman does not smoke or drink alcohol. We would expect the woman who smokes and drinks alcohol to have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than the woman who does not smoke or drink alcohol. By comparing these two women and others like them, researchers can learn more about the environmental and lifestyle factors that contribute to breast cancer risk.

## Chapter 5: Self-Debate Discussions

One common misconception about breast cancer is that it only affects older women. However, breast cancer can occur at any age. In fact, approximately 5% of all new breast cancer cases occur in women under the age of 45. This means that even young women need to be aware of their risk factors and take steps to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.

## Chapter 6: Conclusion

In conclusion, the Sister Study is an important effort to find the causes of breast cancer. By studying women who have had a sister with breast cancer, researchers can learn about possible environmental and genetic causes for the disease, as well as ways to prevent breast cancer. By understanding the causes of breast cancer, we can work towards preventing the disease and improving the lives of those affected by it.

Lesson: How to Calculate Distance Between Two Points

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the distance between two points on a map using latitude and longitude coordinates. This skill is useful for navigating, planning trips, and understanding geographical locations. We will use a formula called the Haversine formula to calculate the distance between two points.

Theoretical Concept:
The Haversine formula is used to calculate the great circle distance between two points on a sphere, such as the Earth. The formula takes into account the curvature of the Earth and is more accurate than measuring straight-line distance.

Formula:
d = 2 * R * arcsin(sqrt(sin^2(Δlat/2) + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin^2(Δlon/2))

Where:
- d is the distance between the two points (in kilometers)
- R is the radius of the Earth (6,371 kilometers)
- lat1 and lat2 are the latitude coordinates of the two points (in degrees)
- lon1 and lon2 are the longitude coordinates of the two points (in degrees)
- Δlat is the difference between the latitude coordinates of the two points (in degrees)
- Δlon is the difference between the longitude coordinates of the two points (in degrees)

Practical Example:
Let's say we want to calculate the distance between San Diego, California (latitude 32.7151° N, longitude 117.1581° W) and New York City, New York (latitude 40.7128° N, longitude 74.0060° W).

First, we convert the latitude and longitude coordinates to radians:
lat1 = 32.7151 * pi/180 = 0.573755 radians
lon1 = 117.1581 * pi/180 = 2.006553 radians
lat2 = 40.7128 * pi/180 = 0.695937 radians
lon2 = 74.0060 * pi/180 = 1.290602 radians

Next, we calculate the differences in latitude and longitude:
Δlat = 0.695937 - 0.573755 = 0.122182 radians
Δlon = 1.290602 - 2.006553 = -0.716051 radians

Now, we can plug these values into the Haversine formula:
d = 2 * 6,371 * arcsin(sqrt(sin^2(0.122182/2) + cos(0.573755) * cos(0.695937) * sin^2(-0.716051/2)))
d ≈ 2,450 kilometers

Conclusion:
We have successfully calculated the distance between San Diego, California and New York City, New York using the Haversine formula. This skill is useful for navigating, planning trips, and understanding geographical locations. By applying this formula, we can calculate the distance between any two points on a map with latitude and longitude coordinates.

In the present paper we conduct a deep study on some basic concepts offinancial mathematics, showing their analitic and geometric nature. We define the new concept of family of the capitalization factors of a capitalization. The main theorems of the paper are Let F be a capitalization law. Then F is strong if and only if the family of operators associated with F is an invertible one parameter family.

Lesson: Introduction to Financial Mathematics

## Section 1: Basic Concepts

### Subsection 1.1: Capitalization Law

A capitalization law is a mathematical model that describes how the value of an asset changes over time. It can be used to predict future values based on past performance.

### Subsection 1.2: Family of Operators

The family of operators associated with a capitalization law refers to a set of mathematical functions that describe how the value of an asset changes under different conditions. These functions are used to analyze the behavior of the asset and make predictions about its future value.

### Subsection 1.3: Strong and Separable Laws

A capitalization law is considered strong if the family of operators associated with it is an invertible one-parameter family. This means that the operators can be easily inverted to find the original value of the asset. A law is considered separable if the family of operators associated with it is a one-parameter group. This means that the operators can be combined to create new operators that describe the behavior of the asset under different conditions.

## Section 2: Analytic and Geometric Nature

The analytic nature of financial mathematics refers to the use of mathematical tools such as calculus and linear algebra to analyze the behavior of assets. The geometric nature refers to the use of geometric concepts such as vectors and matrices to represent and manipulate financial data.

## Section 3: Practical Examples

### Subsection 3.1: Asset Valuation

Using the concept of a capitalization law, we can determine the future value of an asset based on its past performance. For example, if we know that the value of a stock has been increasing at a steady rate of 10% per year, we can use a capitalization law to predict its value in the future.

### Subsection 3.2: Risk Management

Financial mathematics can also be used to manage risk in investments. By analyzing the behavior of assets using mathematical models, we can identify potential risks and develop strategies to minimize them.

## Glossary

- Capitalization law: A mathematical model that describes how the value of an asset changes over time.
- Family of operators: A set of mathematical functions that describe how the value of an asset changes under different conditions.
- Strong law: A capitalization law that has an invertible family of operators.
- Separable law: A capitalization law that has a one-parameter group of operators.
- Analytic nature: The use of mathematical tools such as calculus and linear algebra to analyze the behavior of assets.
- Geometric nature: The use of geometric concepts such as vectors and matrices to represent and manipulate financial data.

Conclusion

Financial mathematics is a powerful tool that can be used to understand the behavior of assets and make informed decisions about investments. By studying the basic concepts of financial mathematics, we can gain a deeper understanding of how the financial world works and apply our knowledge to new problems.

Overview:
Modeling is the process of creating a physical or mathematical representation of something. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of modeling and learn how it can be used in various fields such as science, engineering, and mathematics.

Objectives:
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Define what modeling is and its importance in various fields.
2. Identify different types of models and their applications.
3. Create a simple model using basic principles of geometry and algebra.
4. Apply critical thinking skills to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of a model.

Section 1: What is Modeling?

Modeling is the process of creating a representation or simulation of something, usually to study its behavior or understand its underlying structure. It is a fundamental tool in science, engineering, and mathematics that allows us to make predictions, test hypotheses, and solve complex problems.

Types of Models:
There are several types of models, including:

1. Physical models: These are three-dimensional representations of objects or systems that can be touched, seen, and manipulated.

2. Mathematical models: These are mathematical equations or algorithms that represent real-world phenomena or systems.

3. Conceptual models: These are mental representations of ideas, processes, or systems that help us understand complex information.

4. Computational models: These are computer programs that simulate the behavior of real-world systems or phenomena.

Section 2: Creating a Simple Model

Let's create a simple model of a house using basic principles of geometry and algebra.

Materials:
- Paper
- Pencil
- Ruler

Steps:
1. Draw a rectangle on the paper to represent the foundation of the house.
2. Divide the rectangle into equal parts to represent the walls.
3. Draw a triangle on top of the walls to represent the roof.
4. Measure the dimensions of the house using the ruler and record them in a table.
5. Calculate the total area of the house by multiplying the length and width.
6. Use algebraic equations to represent the dimensions of the house and calculate other properties such as volume and perimeter.

Section 3: Analyzing and Evaluating Models

As we create more complex models, we need to apply critical thinking skills to analyze and evaluate their effectiveness.

Questions to Ask:
1. Does the model accurately represent the real-world system or phenomenon?
2. Are there any assumptions or simplifications made in the model?
3. How well does the model predict or explain the behavior of the system?
4. Are there any limitations or constraints to the model?

Discussion:
Let's consider a simple example of a model that predicts the temperature of a room. We might create a model that assumes the room has no windows, no people, and no sources of heat or cooling. While this model may be useful for certain purposes, it would not accurately represent the behavior of a room in the real world.

Section 4: Conclusion

In this lesson, we have explored the basics of modeling and learned how it can be used in various fields. By understanding the different types of models and applying critical thinking skills, we can create accurate and effective models that help us understand complex systems and solve real-world problems.

text: - The Observer, Sunday 2 February 2003. larger | smaller. The.. Low global oil stocks and reduced exports from strike-torn Venezuela have boosted prices by more than 30 per cent since late November. The Venezuelan 'outage' has cost 125 million barrels of production, already the fifth biggest supply shock in history, 'which almost entirely explains the current high level of prices'.. If the strike continues for two months and an Iraq war lasts a similar time, the cumulative outage will be 600 million barrels, far more than the 400 million taken off the market in the Arab-Israeli war.

Lesson: Understanding the Impact of Oil Production on Global Economy

### Introduction

In this lesson, we will explore the impact of oil production on the global economy. We will learn about the factors that influence oil prices, how oil production affects the economy, and the consequences of a sudden change in oil supply.

### Section 1: Understanding Oil Production and Prices

**Theory:** Oil is a finite resource that is used as a fuel source for transportation, heating, and electricity generation. It is also used as a raw material in the production of plastics, chemicals, and other products. The price of oil is determined by global supply and demand. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise, and when supply exceeds demand, prices fall.

**Practice:** Let's imagine that there is a sudden increase in demand for oil due to a cold winter in North America. This increase in demand will cause the price of oil to rise. On the other hand, if there is an increase in supply due to new oil discoveries or increased production from existing oil fields, the price of oil will decrease.

### Section 2: How Oil Production Affects the Economy

**Theory:** Oil is an essential component of the global economy. It is used as a fuel source for transportation, heating, and electricity generation. It is also used as a raw material in the production of plastics, chemicals, and other products. When the price of oil changes, it can have a significant impact on the economy.

**Practice:** Let's consider the example of a sudden increase in oil prices due to a decrease in supply from Venezuela. This increase in oil prices will lead to higher costs for businesses that rely on transportation, heating, and electricity generation. These higher costs may be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for goods and services. This can lead to inflation, which can reduce consumer purchasing power and slow economic growth.

### Section 3: Consequences of a Sudden Change in Oil Supply

**Theory:** A sudden change in oil supply, such as a strike in Venezuela, can have significant consequences for the global economy. The loss of 125 million barrels of production due to the strike has already led to a 30% increase in oil prices.

**Practice:** If the strike continues for two months and an Iraq war lasts a similar time, the cumulative outage will be 600 million barrels, far more than the 400 million taken off the market in the Arab-Israeli war. This would have a significant impact on the global economy, leading to higher oil prices, inflation, and reduced economic growth.

### Conclusion

Understanding the impact of oil production on the global economy is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments. By studying the factors that influence oil prices and the consequences of a sudden change in oil supply, we can better prepare for future economic challenges and make informed decisions about energy consumption and production.

### Glossary

- Oil: A fossil fuel that is used as a fuel source and raw material in the production of plastics, chemicals, and other products.
- Supply and demand: The relationship between the quantity of a good or service that producers are willing to provide at various prices and the quantity that consumers are willing to purchase.
- Inflation: A sustained increase in the overall price level of goods and services within an economy over a period of time.

Lesson: Introduction to Football Statistics

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Football is a popular sport that involves two teams competing against each other to score goals. In this lesson, we will learn about football statistics, which are used to analyze and understand the performance of individual players and teams. We will cover topics such as goal scoring, pass completion rates, and possession percentage.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's start by looking at goal scoring. In a football match, the team with the most goals scored is usually the winner. We can use statistical analysis to determine which players are the most effective goal scorers. For example, if we look at the goalscoring records of two footballers, we can see that one has an average of 0.6 goals per game while the other has an average of 0.8 goals per game. This means that the second footballer is more likely to score goals than the first one.

Pass completion rates are another important statistic in football. This refers to the percentage of passes completed by a player during a match. A high pass completion rate indicates that the player is able to distribute the ball effectively and maintain possession of the ball. For instance, if we compare the pass completion rates of two midfielders, we can see that one has a rate of 85% while the other has a rate of 90%. This shows that the second midfielder is more efficient in passing the ball than the first one.

Possession percentage is another important statistic in football. This refers to the percentage of time that a team has the ball during a match. A high possession percentage indicates that the team is able to control the game and limit the opposition's chances of scoring. For example, if we look at the possession records of two football teams, we can see that one has an average of 55% possession while the other has an average of 60% possession. This means that the second team is more likely to have control over the game than the first one.

### Section 3: Questions and Answers
Q: What is the difference between goals per game and pass completion rate?
A: Goals per game refers to the average number of goals scored by a player or team in a match, while pass completion rate refers to the percentage of passes completed by a player during a match.

Q: How does possession percentage affect the outcome of a football match?
A: Possession percentage is an important statistic in football because it indicates how much control a team has over the game. A team with a higher possession percentage is more likely to limit the opposition's chances of scoring and ultimately win the match.

### Glossary
Goals per game: The average number of goals scored by a player or team in a match.
Pass completion rate: The percentage of passes completed by a player during a match.
Possession percentage: The percentage of time that a team has the ball during a match.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about football statistics and how they can be used to analyze and understand the performance of individual players and teams. By looking at statistics such as goals per game, pass completion rates, and possession percentage, we can gain valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of different players and teams.

Q:

WinForms: How do I make a collapsible UI region on the form, like Visual Studio's toolbox?

I want to add a collapse/expand capability to a Windows Form.
Is this built into the splitter control?  Is there a tutorial for this UI technique?
The immediate project I'm thinking of is  a simple UI, Windows Forms.  It has 3 panels, one oriented at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom.  I want to be able to collapse the middle panel completely, but yet keep it available for expansion.

I saw the SO question,
Looking for a Visual Studio toolbox style navigation for desktop applications
..and that's more about a toolbox with draggable components.  I don't care about the draggable capability. What I want is a collapsible form region, the way the toolbox and other elements in VS are collapsible, the way the IE8 favorites panel is pinnable or collapsible.

A:

I'd use a FlowLayoutPanel.
It will do exactly what you describe.
Add 3 panels to it. In the 2nd panel, add another FlowLayoutPanel. Inside that one, add a label and YourCollapsablePanel. When clicking the label, toggle the visibility of the panel below it.
If you mean for it to collapse like the Toolbox does in visual studio then the DockPanelSuite will do that for you. You can turn off the ability to drag and dock the windows elsewhere.

A:

use System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer
inside the SplitContainer panel you can use a FlowLayoutPanel or a custom toolbox

textbook:
Lesson: Creating a Collapsible UI Region on a Windows Form

Lesson: Introduction to Mathematics

### Section 1: What is Mathematics?

Mathematics is the study of numbers, quantities, and relationships between them. It is a fundamental subject that helps us understand and explain the world around us. Mathematics has been used for centuries to solve problems in various fields, including science, engineering, and finance.

### Section 2: Why Study Mathematics?

Studying mathematics is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it helps develop critical thinking skills, which are necessary for problem-solving in everyday life. Secondly, mathematics provides a foundation for understanding complex concepts in other subjects, such as physics and chemistry. Finally, mathematics is a valuable tool for analyzing data and making informed decisions based on empirical evidence.

### Section 3: How Does Mathematics Work?

Mathematics uses logical reasoning and rigorous proof techniques to establish theorems (propositions that have been proven true). The subject is divided into several branches, including algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Each branch focuses on different aspects of mathematics but shares common principles and methods.

### Section 4: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions

Let's consider an example from algebra. Suppose we want to find the roots of a quadratic equation, such as x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0. We can use the quadratic formula to solve this problem: x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. In this case, a = 1, b = 3, and c = 2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get x = (-3 ± sqrt(3^2 - 4*1*2)) / 2*1, which simplifies to x = (-3 ± sqrt(9 - 8)) / 2, or x = (-3 ± 1) / 2. Since the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is positive, there are two distinct real roots, which are x = -1 and x = 1.

### Section 5: Real-World Scenarios

Mathematics is used in various real-world scenarios, including finance, engineering, and medicine. For instance, actuaries use probability theory to assess the financial risks of insuring against natural disasters. Engineers use calculus to design bridges, buildings, and other structures that can withstand heavy loads. Doctors use statistical analysis to determine the likelihood of a patient developing a particular disease.

### Glossary
- Algebra: A branch of mathematics that deals with the general rules of operations and relationships among numbers and other mathematical objects.
- Geometry: A branch of mathematics that deals with the shape, size, position, and properties of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.
- Calculus: A branch of mathematics that deals with the study of change, motion, and growth, using concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals.
- Statistics: A branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, mathematics is a fundamental subject that helps us understand and explain the world around us. By studying mathematics, we develop critical thinking skills, which are necessary for problem-solving in everyday life. Furthermore, mathematics provides a foundation for understanding complex concepts in other subjects and is a valuable tool for analyzing data and making informed decisions based on empirical evidence.

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Packaging Solution for Your Business
Introduction:
Packaging is an essential part of any business that deals with physical products. It is the first thing that customers see and touch, and it plays a crucial role in creating a positive impression. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of packaging solutions available in the market and how to choose the right one for your business.
Section 1: Understanding Packaging Solutions
Packaging solutions can be broadly classified into two categories: primary and secondary. Primary packaging refers to the packaging that directly touches the product, while secondary packaging refers to the outer layer that protects the primary packaging. Some common examples of primary packaging include cupcake boxes, food containers, and bottles. Examples of secondary packaging include shipping boxes, corrugated boxes, and mailer boxes.
Section 2: Choosing the Right Packaging Solution
There are several factors to consider when choosing the right packaging solution for your business. These include:
1. Product Type: The type of product you sell will determine the kind of packaging you need. For example, if you sell perishable items like cupcakes, you will need packaging that keeps the product fresh and safe.
2. Target Audience: Your target audience will also play a role in determining the kind of packaging you need. If you are targeting a luxury market, you may want to use premium packaging materials to create a high-end image.
3. Budget: The cost of packaging is an important factor to consider. You need to find a balance between quality and affordability.
4. Sustainability: Environmental concerns are becoming increasingly important, and customers are looking for eco-friendly packaging solutions. Consider using recycled or biodegradable materials for your packaging.
Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's consider a hypothetical scenario where a bakery wants to package its cupcakes for sale. The bakery needs to consider the following factors:
1. Product Type: The cupcakes are perishable items that need to be kept fresh and safe.
2. Target Audience: The bakery wants to create a high-end image for its customers.
3. Budget: The bakery needs to find an affordable packaging solution without compromising on quality.
4. Sustainability: The bakery wants to use eco-friendly packaging materials.
Based on these factors, the bakery can choose to use premium cupcake boxes made of recycled paper. These boxes are not only eco-friendly but also add to the luxury image of the bakery. They can also be customized with the bakery's logo and branding to create a unique identity.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, choosing the right packaging solution for your business is crucial for creating a positive impression on customers. By considering factors such as product type, target audience, budget, and sustainability, you can find the perfect packaging solution that meets your business needs. Remember to always prioritize quality and affordability while maintaining a focus on environmental concerns.
