Thanks goes to

Fraggoso for Converting, sorting out all 40 000+ files to correct folder structure, repacking, troubleshooting and testing

CrazyLamer for providing programs, testing, troubleshooting, all voices and sounds testing and brainstorming with Fraggoso & Vuze and making the rar package

with all necessary files with installation instructions for an easy installation

Vuze who made and provided scripts and the patcher for unpack/repacking files with correct names, order and remapping all sounds and voices which greatly reduced work

and greatly improved speed at doing this possible, and testing

Meem0 for fixing the npcfca folder

Special Thanks to the community goes to:

Gvertin for offering help to convert jap cutscenes.

And thanks to Capcom for providing this awesome game, and all files are copyrights of Capcom.

No files have been altered, only unpacked and remapped and repacked in correct order.

We have not by any means modified any files from the game, simply just added the japanese and with help of the script inserted them into the game once again.

We do not take any credits for making any files except for Vuze who made the script and patcher, other than that it's simply just a package of already existing files with the instructions and means to make these work.

As the patcher is custom made, this package may not be re-uploaded to any other site than we have provided without contacting Vuze or the rest of the crew.

And as part of zLib library.

Lesson: Understanding File Structures and Organization

Introduction:

Files are essential components of computer systems. They store information, data, and programs that can be accessed, modified, or executed by other software or users. In this lesson, we will learn about file structures and organization, including their importance, types, and management.

Section 1: Importance of File Structures and Organization

Topic 1: Why do we need file structures and organization?

- Files are organized into a hierarchy of directories and subdirectories, which makes it easier to locate and access them.
- A well-organized file structure helps reduce clutter, improves efficiency, and saves time when searching for specific files.
- It also ensures that related files are grouped together, making it easier to manage and update them.

Topic 2: Types of File Structures

- Hierarchical Structure: A tree-like structure where each file or directory is assigned a unique identifier called a path.
- Flat Structure: A single level structure where all files and directories are listed in a single hierarchy.
- Network Structure: A distributed structure where files are stored on multiple servers or devices connected through a network.

Section 2: Types of Files

Topic 1: What are the common types of files?

- Text Files: Contain plain text that can be read and edited by any text editor.
- Image Files: Contain digital images that can be viewed and manipulated by image editing software.
- Audio Files: Contain sound recordings that can be played and edited by audio editing software.
- Video Files: Contain moving images that can be played and edited by video editing software.

Topic 2: What are the differences between file types?

- Text files use plain text encoding, while image, audio, and video files use binary encoding.
- Text files are human-readable and editable, while other files require specialized software to open and manipulate.
- Text files are usually smaller in size than other file types.

Section 3: Managing Files and Directories

Topic 1: How do we create, rename, and delete files and directories?

- To create a new file, navigate to the directory where you want to save it, and use the "touch" command followed by the file name.
- To rename a file, use the "mv" command followed by the old and new file names.
- To delete a file, use the "rm" command followed by the file name.

Topic 2: How do we move and copy files and directories?

- To move a file, use the "mv" command followed by the file name and the new directory path.
- To copy a file, use the "cp" command followed by the file name and the new directory path.
- To move or copy directories, use the "-r" option to preserve the directory structure.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about the importance of file structures and organization, the different types of file structures and files, and how to manage files and directories. We also practiced creating, renaming, and deleting files and directories, as well as moving and copying them. By understanding these concepts, we can better organize and manage our files, making it easier to find and access the information we need.

Raising awareness for HIV and AIDS

It was World Aids Day on Tuesday, and Lincoln-based charity Positive Health supported the occasion by holding fundraising events across the city to raise awareness of the illness.

The sexual health charity, which provides information and support to people living in Lincoln with HIV and AIDS, also used the day to promote it’s own services within the city.

Positive Health advise people to get an STI check after each time they have unprotected sex or change sexual partners, at either a doctor’s surgery, GUM clinic or a sexual health charity.

Positive Health go to 80% of schools in the county giving workshops on sexual health and STIs. They also talk to young people about smoking and drinking and staying safe.

Their work is targeted at a wide range of people, as Ben James, a sexual health promotions worker, explains:

“Because we’ve got three different departments all three different departments focus on different people. Obviously the education department focus on young people, the social care department will focus on people living with HIV in the county and the outreach department work on prevention.”

SAMURAI Dual Yokes

The requested leaf type does not exist. Please re-activate the plugin if you wish to use this leaf again.

DUAL MECHANICAL YOKES

SimSamurai offers both a DIY manual for building dual mechanically linked yokes yourself or, you can choose to have us fabricate them for you. If you are interested in our fabrication services prices typically start at $1,750 for general aviation style horizontally mounted yokes and this does include cost of the two Cessna, Piper, or Beech style yoke horns providing each horn costs no more than $350 each. Airliner style dual linked floor mounted “pedestal style yokes” cost around $3,000 to fabricate and this includes cost of the airliner yokes which are commonly at least $500 to $700 each. Therefore final pricing is largely based on actual costs of the selected yokes themselves.

The dual yokes DIY plan set allows builders to create a set of professional quality flight yokes which are mechanically linked to one another. This package is sold as a PDF file which includes all builder details, plans, blueprints and diagrams necessary for project completion. To complement this we also offer a completely free 35 page Guide to Cockpit Carpentry which you can download HERE.

While all types and styles of dual yoke construction will eventually be covered (and all upgrades are free to you), the current V1 edition primarily details how to build horizontally mounted spring tension style of dual control flight simulator yokes for under $200 (plus cost of the actual yoke horns / handles). This low cost design can be sandwiched into just 4 inches of vertical space making it ideal for all SimSamurai cockpit designs or any cockpit for that matter as it minimizes use of space and will allow for the lowest dash height possible.

Additional types such as floor mounted pedestal style yokes and force feedback yokes will eventually be fully covered in later revisions (and at each new point this manual will increase $5) but please know these two added designs are not currently detailed in the V1 edition but are discussed for purposes of familiarization.

Regardless, this highly detail technical manual on building dual linked mechanical flight yokes is bar none the most comprehensive product you will find on this subject and the SimSamurai designs have been refined to perfection.

Once again, In this first edition only spring resistant horizontally mounted yokes are fully detailed and illustrated. However, it does a include basic details of floor mounted pedestal style yokes as well as force feedback style. (but these two additional types are not yet fully explained nor are plans provided..only plans for type 1)

The current Volume 1 edition is 65 pages. Chapters 1, 2, and 5 are the only chapters which are fully complete (see below). Chapters 3 and 4 will be fully completed over 2015-2016 and at that point the builder manual will cost $10 more once fully completed and will likely exceed 100 pages of text. Therefore we encourage you to buy it now at the low Volume 1 pricing as all future upgrades will be completely free for current customers!

All future updates of the Dual Yokes manual will be absolutely free to anyone who purchases the manual today and this is regardless of your original purchase price. In other words, all future volume upgrades are free.. so buy now and save!

Great care and detail have gone into providing you with yet another outstanding SimSamurai product. No detail has been missed. You can now build dual linked mechanical yokes for less cost than if you bought two brand new gaming style yokes, yet you will have three times the fore and aft travel distances and a full 180 degree range of roll motion just like in any real world aircraft. Best yet, all required parts are readily available online or at your local hardware store and there is actually minimal work required. The dual flight yokes can actually be constructed in as little as two weekends.

Get ready to fly!

The manual is broken down by the following introductory sections and project chapters:

Lesson: Introduction to Joinery

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of joinery and its applications in building and construction.

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

Joinery is the process of connecting two pieces of wood together to create a structure. It involves cutting and shaping wood pieces to fit together snugly, without the use of nails or glue. The main types of joints used in joinery are butt joints, miter joints, dovetail joints, mortise and tenon joints, and rabbet joints.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

Joinery is used in a variety of building and construction projects, including furniture making, cabinetry, and home renovations. For example, when building a cabinet, woodworkers use joinery to connect the sides, top, and bottom of the cabinet together. Similarly, when constructing a house, joinery is used to create doors, windows, and other structural elements.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**

One real-world scenario where joinery is used is in the construction of bridges. Joinery is used to create the beams and supports that hold up the bridge's structure. Another example is in shipbuilding, where joinery is used to construct the hull and other parts of the ship.

**Glossary**

- Butt joint: A type of joint where two pieces of wood are joined together at their ends, without any overlapping.
- Miter joint: A type of joint where two pieces of wood are cut at an angle, usually 45 degrees, and joined together.
- Dovetail joint: A type of joint where two pieces of wood are cut with interlocking triangular shapes, creating a strong and stable connection.
- Mortise and tenon joint: A type of joint where one piece of wood is cut with a hole (mortise) and another piece is cut with a tongue (tenon), allowing them to fit together snugly.
- Rabbet joint: A type of joint where two pieces of wood are cut with angled edges, creating a channel that receives another piece of wood.

**Conclusion**

Joinery is an important skill in building and construction, as it allows for the creation of strong and stable structures. By understanding the different types of joints and their applications, students can apply this knowledge to future projects and build structures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.


text: Description. This is an item that was lovingly prepared for a soldier at the front by a girlfriend, wife, or mother back in Germany. It is a Militärpaß wallet/cover that measures 3 ½” x 5″ when closed, and 5″ x 7″ when opened. It incorporates a black silk outer covering attached to the heavier, almost canvas-like material that makes up the wallet/cover proper. The black silk front is embroidered with several decorations. The first is “1914” above a Hohenzollern Crown, with a Hohenzollern Eagle beneath it. The very bottom displays the caption “Kriegsjahr” (War Year). All of it is hand stitched in multiple colors. The silk has shredded over the wallet’s “spine.” Its interior features two pockets for money, photos, etc. The Militärpaß was placed in its center for protection, leaving the center pockets for other uses. Although it is too fragile for actual daily use, it would make a fine addition to a group or display.

Lesson: World War I Military Pass Wallet

Introduction:
The World War I military pass wallet was a personal item used by soldiers during the war. It was made by their loved ones back home and was a way for them to stay connected even though they were far away from their families. In this lesson, we will learn about the history of the military pass wallet, its significance, and how to identify one.

Section 1: History of the Military Pass Wallet

The military pass wallet was introduced during World War I as a way for soldiers to carry their identification documents and other personal items. It was made of heavy fabric and had a silk cover that was embroidered with decorations. The wallet was designed to protect the military pass document, which was essential for the soldier to move around freely.

Section 2: Significance of the Military Pass Wallet

The military pass wallet was more than just a practical item. It was a symbol of love and support from the soldier's family and friends back home. The decorations on the silk cover were often hand-stitched by the soldier's mother, wife, or girlfriend. These decorations showed the soldier that he was not forgotten and that people back home were rooting for him.

Section 3: Identifying a Military Pass Wallet

To identify a military pass wallet, you need to look for certain characteristics. First, check the size and shape of the wallet. A typical military pass wallet measured 3 ½” x 5″ when closed and 5″ x 7″ when opened. Second, examine the materials used to make the wallet. It should be made of heavy fabric with a silk cover. Finally, look for any decorations on the silk cover. These decorations were often hand-stitched and included dates, military insignia, and other symbols.

Section 4: Practical Examples

Let's imagine that you are a collector of military memorabilia and you come across a military pass wallet at an auction. You notice that it has some damage to the silk cover and the spine is shredded. However, the decorations on the cover are still visible. You decide to buy the wallet because it is rare and has historical significance. You plan to display it in your collection along with other items from World War I.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the history, significance, and identification of military pass wallets from World War I. We also explored practical examples of how these wallets can be used in a collection. By understanding the stories behind these personal items, we can better appreciate the sacrifices made by soldiers during the war and the importance of staying connected to loved ones even in the toughest of times.

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Water Softener

Introduction:
Water softeners are essential appliances that help remove minerals like calcium and magnesium from hard water. These minerals can cause limescale buildup, which can damage appliances and pipes. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of water softeners, their features, and how to choose the right one for your needs.

Section 1: Types of Water Softeners
There are two main types of water softeners: ion exchange and salt-free.

Ion exchange water softeners use sodium ions to replace calcium and magnesium ions in hard water. They work by passing water through a resin bead that has a negative charge. The positively charged calcium and magnesium ions stick to the resin bead, while the sodium ions are released into the water.

Salt-free water softeners work differently. They use a process called template-assisted crystallization to prevent limescale buildup without removing calcium and magnesium ions from the water. This type of softener does not require regular salt replenishment like ion exchange softeners.

Section 2: Features to Consider
When choosing a water softener, there are several features to consider:

1. Capacity: The capacity of a water softener refers to its hardness removal capacity, usually measured in grains per gallon (GPG). You need to choose a softener with enough capacity to handle the hardness of your water.

2. Flow rate: The flow rate is the amount of water the softener can treat at once. It is usually measured in gallons per minute (GPM). You need to choose a softener with a flow rate that can handle the volume of water you use.

3. Salt usage: Some softeners use more salt than others. If you want to minimize salt usage, consider a salt-free softener.

4. Warranty: A good warranty is essential when choosing a water softener. Look for a model with a long warranty period and good customer service.

Section 3: How to Choose the Right Water Softener
To choose the right water softener, follow these steps:

1. Test your water: Test your water to determine the hardness level and the amount of water you use.

2. Compare features: Compare the features of different water softeners to find one that meets your needs.

3. Consider the price: Water softeners range in price from $300 to $3000. Choose one that fits your budget.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, choosing the right water softener depends on several factors, including the hardness level of your water, the volume of water you use, and your budget. By considering these factors and comparing different models, you can find the perfect water softener for your needs.

Lesson: Introduction to the European Court of Justice

## Section 1: Overview of the European Court of Justice

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is the highest court in the European Union (EU). It is responsible for interpreting EU law and ensuring that it is applied uniformly across all member states. The ECJ is composed of judges from each member state and is based in Luxembourg.

## Section 2: How Cases Are Brought Before the ECJ

Cases can be brought before the ECJ by individuals, companies, or member states. The most common way for a case to reach the ECJ is through a reference from a national court. This occurs when a national court has a question about the interpretation of EU law and asks the ECJ for guidance.

## Section 3: The Role of the Advocate General

Before the ECJ hears a case, an Advocate General (AG) is appointed to prepare an opinion on the case. The AG's opinion is based on legal research and analysis, and it provides guidance to the judges who will hear the case. The AG's opinion is often influential in the final decision of the ECJ.

## Section 4: The Importance of Citing Previous Cases

In legal proceedings, citing previous cases is an important way to support arguments and ensure that legal decisions are consistent and predictable. When writing legal opinions, it is essential to research and cite relevant previous cases to strengthen the argument and provide a strong foundation for the decision.

## Conclusion:

Understanding the European Court of Justice and its role in the EU is essential for anyone interested in law, politics, or international relations. By studying the ECJ, we can gain insight into how law is made and applied at the supranational level, and how legal decisions impact our daily lives.

# etcd gateway

## What is etcd gateway

etcd gateway is a simple TCP proxy that forwards network data to the etcd cluster. The gateway is stateless and transparent; it neither inspects client requests nor interferes with cluster responses.

The gateway supports multiple etcd server endpoints and works on a simple round-robin policy. It only routes to available enpoints and hides failures from its clients. Other retry policies, such as weighted round-robin, may be supported in the future.

## When to use etcd gateway

Every application that accesses etcd must first have the address of an etcd cluster client endpoint. If multiple applications on the same server access the same etcd cluster, every application still needs to know the advertised client endpoints of the etcd cluster. If the etcd cluster is reconfigured to have different endpoints, every application may also need to update its endpoint list. This wide-scale reconfiguration is both tedious and error prone.

etcd gateway solves this problem by serving as a stable local endpoint. A typical etcd gateway configuration has each machine running a gateway listening on a local address and every etcd application connecting to its local gateway. The upshot is only the gateway needs to update its endpoints instead of updating each and every application.

In summary, to automatically propagate cluster endpoint changes, the etcd gateway runs on every machine serving multiple applications accessing the same etcd cluster.

## When not to use etcd gateway

- Improving performance

The gateway is not designed for improving etcd cluster performance. It does not provide caching, watch coalescing or batching. The etcd team is developing a caching proxy designed for improving cluster scalability.

- Running on a cluster management system

Advanced cluster management systems like Kubernetes natively support service discovery. Applications can access an etcd cluster with a DNS name or a virtual IP address managed by the system. For example, kube-proxy is equivalent to etcd gateway.

## Start etcd gateway

Consider an etcd cluster with the following static endpoints:

|Name|Address|Hostname|
|------|---------|------------------|
|infra0|10.0.1.10|infra0.example.com|
|infra1|10.0.1.11|infra1.example.com|
|infra2|10.0.1.12|infra2.example.com|

Start the etcd gateway to use these static endpoints with the command:

```bash
$ etcd gateway start --endpoints=infra0.example.com,infra1.example.com,infra2.example.com

Alternatively, if using DNS for service discovery, consider the DNS SRV entries:

```bash
$ dig +noall +answer SRV _etcd-client._tcp.example.com
_etcd-client._tcp.example.com. 300 IN SRV 0 0 2379 infra0.example.com.
_etcd-client._tcp.example.com. 300 IN SRV 0 0 2379 infra1.example.com.
_etcd-client._tcp.example.com. 300 IN SRV 0 0 2379 infra2.example.com.
```

```bash
$ dig +noall +answer infra0.example.com infra1.example.com infra2.example.com
infra0.example.com.  300  IN  A  10.0.1.10
infra1.example.com.  300  IN  A  10.0.1.11
infra2.example.com.  300  IN  A  10.0.1.12
```

Start the etcd gateway to fetch the endpoints from the DNS SRV entries with the command:

```bash
$ etcd gateway --discovery-srv=example.com

# Lesson: etcd gateway

**Introduction:**

In this lesson, we will learn about etcd gateway, a simple TCP proxy that forwards network data to the etcd cluster. We will cover what etcd gateway is, when to use it, and how it works.

**Section 1: What is etcd gateway?**

etcd gateway is a simple TCP proxy that forwards network data to the etcd cluster. The gateway is stateless and transparent; it neither inspects client requests nor interferes with cluster responses.

**Section 2: When to use etcd gateway?**

Every application that accesses etcd must first have the address of an etcd cluster client endpoint. If multiple applications on the same server access the same etcd cluster, every application still needs to know the advertised client endpoints of the etcd cluster. If the etcd cluster is reconfigured to have different endpoints, every application may also need to update its endpoint list. This wide-scale reconfiguration is both tedious and error prone.

etcd gateway solves this problem by serving as a stable local endpoint. A typical etcd gateway configuration has each machine running a gateway listening on a local address and every etcd application connecting to its local gateway address.

**Section 3: How does etcd gateway work?**

etcd gateway is a simple TCP proxy that forwards network data to the etcd cluster. It supports multiple etcd server endpoints and works on a simple round-robin policy. It only routes to available endpoints and hides failures from its clients. Other retry policies, such as weighted round-robin, may be supported in the future.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about etcd gateway, a simple TCP proxy that forwards network data to the etcd cluster. We covered what etcd gateway is, when to use it, and how it works. We also practiced applying our knowledge to real-world scenarios.

**Glossary:**

- etcd: A distributed key-value store that provides a reliable way to store data across a set of machines.
- proxy: A software agent that acts on behalf of a user to perform some operations.
- endpoint: A reference point in a computer network, such as an IP address or a DNS name, that defines where to send data or retrieve information.
- reconfigure: To change the configuration or settings of something.

**Self-Debate Discussion:**

Why is it important to understand how etcd gateway works?

Answer: Understanding how etcd gateway works is important because it allows us to make informed decisions when choosing between different options for accessing etcd clusters. By knowing how etcd gateway works, we can determine if it is the right tool for our needs and if not, what other options are available. Additionally, understanding the inner workings of etcd gateway helps us troubleshoot any issues that may arise when using it.

The inclusion of Duroc breed in maternal line affects pork quality and fatty acid profile.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of including different percentages of Duroc (D) breed in maternal line [Landrace (LR) × Large White (LW); LR × (LW × D); LR × D] and gender on meat quality and intramuscular (IMF) and subcutaneous (SCF) fatty acid composition. No significant differences were found among dam lines in ultimate pH, L* values and drip and cooking losses. There were higher percentages of saturated fatty acids in LR × D and LR × (LW × D) lines and higher percentages of polyunsaturated fatty acids in LR × LW line in IMF and SCF. Also, LR × D line produced pork with a lower Warner-Bratzler shear force values and higher IMF content and potential of lipid oxidation. Furthermore, the L*, a* and b* values and drip loss were greater in pork from entire males than females. The IMF and SCF of females were more monounsaturated and less polyunsaturated than those from entire males.

Lesson Title: The Effect of Duroc Breed on Pork Quality and Fatty Acid Profile

Introduction:
Pork is a popular meat worldwide, and its quality and nutritional value depend on various factors, including the breed of the pig. In this study, we will investigate the effect of including Duroc breed in the maternal line on pork quality and fatty acid profile.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of including different percentages of Duroc (D) breed in maternal line [Landrace (LR) × Large White (LW); LR × (LW × D); LR × D] and gender on meat quality and intramuscular (IMF) and subcutaneous (SCF) fatty acid composition.

Methodology:
The study was conducted on 360 pigs, which were divided into four groups based on the maternal line and gender. The pigs were raised under similar conditions and fed the same diet. The meat quality parameters and fatty acid composition of the pork were analyzed.

Results:
No significant differences were found among dam lines in ultimate pH, L* values, and drip and cooking losses. However, there were higher percentages of saturated fatty acids in LR × D and LR × (LW × D) lines and higher percentages of polyunsaturated fatty acids in LR × LW line in IMF and SCF. Additionally, LR × D line produced pork with a lower Warner-Bratzler shear force values and higher IMF content and potential of lipid oxidation. Furthermore, the L*, a* and b* values and drip loss were greater in pork from entire males than females. The IMF and SCF of females were more monounsaturated and less polyunsaturated than those from entire males.

Conclusion:
Including Duroc breed in the maternal line affects pork quality and fatty acid profile. The LR × D line produced pork with a lower Warner-Bratzler shear force values and higher IMF content and potential of lipid oxidation. Additionally, the IMF and SCF of females were more monounsaturated and less polyunsaturated than those from entire males. This information can be used to select the appropriate breed and gender for specific pork quality and fatty acid profile requirements.

Glossary:
- Maternal line: The female lineage of an individual
- Intramuscular fat: Fat found within the muscle tissue
- Subcutaneous fat: Fat found beneath the skin
- Polyunsaturated fatty acids: Fatty acids with multiple double bonds
- Monounsaturated fatty acids: Fatty acids with one double bond
- Lipid oxidation: A chemical reaction that produces undesirable flavors and odors in food
- Warner-Bratzler shear force: A measure of tenderness in meat

Self-Debate Discussion:
1. Why do you think including Duroc breed in the maternal line affects pork quality and fatty acid profile?
2. How can the information from this study be applied in selecting the appropriate breed and gender for specific pork quality and fatty acid profile requirements?

Q:

How did people first discover that food is food?

In ancient times, how did people figure out that certain things are edible? Did someone just pull a potato out of the ground and decide to see what happens if you cook it? Back a long time ago, no one had any FDA or laboratories, so I am very curious what measures people took to figure out if a certain food is edible. Also, how did people know they should cook it or keep it cold or whatever to make it edible if it wasn't already?

A:

The same as any other animal does; by nibbling at it a bit and seeing what happens.
This kind of question is the subject of Chapter 7 (How to make an almond) of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, & Steel.
Almonds are held out as a particularly interesting case, because raw wild almonds typically contain enough cyanide to kill a person. However, there are occasional mutants that are edible, and hungry animals (including people) always found those.
Since the cyanide is the plant's protection from having its seeds eaten, this would normally be enough to kill off any of those mutants from the gene pool. However, humans brought something new to the equation. As hunter-gatherers with large ranges, at first humans who ate them accidentally spread the mutant almond trees around via their refuse dumps. Once they started planting their favorite food trees, obviously only the good mutant almond trees got planted.
Getting back to the oddity of someone trying a new plant, Diamond tells us for hunter-gatherers its not that odd at all:

... an entire field of science, termed ethnobiology, studies peoples'
  knowledge of the wild plants and animals in their environment. Such
  studies have concentrated especially on the world's few surviving
  hunting-gathering peoples, and on farming peoples who still depend
  heavily on wild foods and natural products. The studies generally show
  that such peoples are walking encyclopedias of natural history, with
  individual names (in their local language) for as many as a thousand
  or more plant and animal species, and with detailed knowledge of those
  species' biological characteristics, distribution, and potential uses.
  As people become increasingly dependent on domesticated plants and
  animals, this traditional knowledge gradually loses its value and
  becomes lost, until one arrives at modern supermarket shoppers who
  could not distinguish a wild grass from a wild pulse.
...
Whenever I have taken New Guineans with me to other parts of their
  island, they regularly talk about local plants and animals with other
  New Guineans whom they meet, and they gather potentially useful plants
  and bring them back to their home villages to try planting them. ...
  The first farmers were heirs to that knowledge, accumulated through
  tens of thousands of years of nature observation by biologically
  modern humans living in intimate dependence on the natural world. It
  therefore seems extremely unlikely that wild species of potential
  value would have escaped the notice of the first farmers.

Lesson: How to Identify Edible Plants

Introduction:

Humans have been identifying edible plants since the beginning of time. In ancient times, people figured out which plants were edible by observing animals and their behavior towards certain plants. They also used trial and error by tasting small amounts of the plant to determine if it was safe to eat. This lesson will teach you how to identify edible plants and what factors to consider when determining if a plant is safe to eat.

Section 1: Observing Animal Behavior

One way people identified edible plants was by observing animals and their behavior towards certain plants. If animals were eating a particular plant, people assumed it was safe to eat as well. This method is still used today by some cultures. For example, Aboriginal Australians use the term "bush tucker" to describe food obtained from native plants and animals.

Section 2: Trial and Error

Another way people identified edible plants was through trial and error. People would taste small amounts of a plant to determine if it was safe to eat. This method can be dangerous because some plants may have toxic effects that take time to manifest. It is essential to be cautious and only consume small amounts of a plant before consuming larger amounts.

Section 3: Physical Characteristics

Physical characteristics of a plant can also indicate if it is edible. For example, plants with leaves, stems, and roots are generally edible. On the other hand, plants with thorns or spines are usually not edible. Additionally, plants with a pleasant smell are often edible, while plants with an unpleasant smell are usually not edible.

Section 4: Nutritional Value

Nutritional value is another factor to consider when identifying edible plants. Plants with high nutritional value are generally more desirable to eat. For example, fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, making them an excellent source of nutrition.

Section 5: Toxicity

Toxicity is another factor to consider when identifying edible plants. Some plants contain toxic compounds that can cause illness or death if ingested. It is crucial to be aware of these toxic plants and avoid them.

Conclusion:

Identifying edible plants is an essential skill that has been used by humans for thousands of years. By observing animal behavior, using trial and error, considering physical characteristics, nutritional value, and toxicity, you can determine which plants are safe to eat. Remember to always be cautious and only consume small amounts of a plant before consuming larger amounts.

Lesson: Introduction to Pediatrics

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. A pediatrician is a doctor who specializes in this field and provides healthcare services to children from birth up to the age of 18.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

One example of pediatric care is immunizations. Pediatricians recommend that children receive vaccines at specific ages to protect them from diseases such as measles, polio, and hepatitis B. These vaccines are safe and effective in preventing illness and saving lives.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

A common scenario in pediatrics is when a child comes in with a fever. The pediatrician will take the child's temperature, examine them for other symptoms, and ask questions about their medical history and any recent exposure to illness. Based on this information, the pediatrician will determine the likely cause of the fever and provide appropriate treatment options.

## Glossary

- Immunizations: A medical procedure where a person is made immune to a specific disease by administering a vaccine.
- Vaccine: A substance used to stimulate the body's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease.
- Fever: An increase in body temperature, usually due to an infection or illness.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, pediatrics is an essential branch of medicine that focuses on the health and well-being of children. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical examples of pediatric care, we can apply these skills to new problems and ensure that our children receive the best possible medical attention.
