London’s Borough Market

Situated just south of London Bridge is Borough Market, one of London’s many culinary treasures. As the city’s oldest food market, it oozes tradition while celebrating British cuisine and international culinary delights. Think mouth-watering produce; mix it with great surrounds and a friendly atmosphere and it’s no surprise that Borough Market is a favourite with OrganicFoodees and chefs alike. But are the proposed plans for the overhead railway leaving the markets outlook in the balance? Here, Rosie Dyer investigates the speciality foods on offer, and considers Borough Market’s future.

Wandering through the twists and turns of Borough Market on a cold crisp morning I feel as though I have stepped back in time. Hidden between the cobbled streets of South East London, it’s a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of the modern financial district of this ancient city, and yet it still possesses the old-fashioned charm of a Dickensian novel. To my left a weathered-looking fruit and veg seller bellows in a thick cockney accent “Avocados!!!! two for paaand!!!”, while to my right is a stunning display of real ale bottles, their olive green necks glistening in the morning sunlight. Deeper into the market lies Maria’s café where gingham-dressed tables are jam-packed with hungry customers tucking into their steaming hot bubble baps, a traditional British sandwich filled with mashed potatoes fried with cabbage. Looking around at their cheery faces I become aware that this is not just any market – to people who appreciate good, real food this is THE British market.

Despite having just celebrated its 250th birthday, a plan for rail development at London Bridge Station poses serious problems for the future of the Borough Market. If the estimated £3.5 million (US $7 million) funding for the scheme is raised, much of the original structure and surrounding areas could be destroyed, leaving the future of the market in the balance. British Rail’s plan is to build a concrete and steel viaduct through Borough High Street and destroy over 20 Grade II listed and unlisted historic buildings.

Save the Borough Market Area is a local campaign set up by the public in the hope to put a stop to the destruction of one of London’s greatest attractions. The campaign is run entirely through the aid of volunteers. You can be a part of this campaign by signing the online petition.

Borough Market has a rich history dating back further to AD 43 when a similar bazaar was discovered by the Romans at the end of London Bridge. There was, however, no written record of it, and it was not until two centuries later that it was recognised. Considered a pest by nearby residents and a permanent cause of traffic congestion, Parliament ruled for its closure in 1754. In1851, Borough Market moved to a nearby area of London called Southwark, where the structure that now holds the majority of stallholders is situated. The stunning art deco entrance was added in 1932. It has continued to grow over the years, and is now one of the largest in the World.

Today, much of this history remains with regulars and tourists travelling from near and far in search of fresh organic produce.

“I come here every Saturday. You can’t beat the quality of the food on offer. It may be a bit more expensive than your local supermarket, but what does that matter when it tastes a whole lot better?” comments Greg Saywell, an elderly onlooker. His wife Rita continues:

“The puddings are to die for – you have to try the cheesecake, I’ve never tasted anything like it.”

As well as organic foods, customers can expect to find the best of British meat, game and fish, freshly baked bread and cakes, a mouth-watering array of specialist cheeses and home-grown fruit and vegetables. If you are looking for something with a continental European flavor, browse through the Spanish stalls and pick up some fragrant spices or a rich chorizo sausage.

Shopper Noreen Mansfield proclaims: “I’m having a Spanish themed dinner party tonight, so I’ve come here for all the ingredients. Where else can you go and buy everything you need under one roof?”

Borough Market is open Thursdays: 11am – 5pm, Fridays: 12pm – 6pm and Saturdays: 9am – 4pm. It’s wise to get there early to give yourself plenty of time to look around.

If you want to experience the true hustle and bustle, go on a Saturday, but make sure you are hungry so you can take full advantage of the delicious free samples. Stallholder James Court explains:

“You’d be amazed how many samples people try when their browsing around the market, if you have one of everything it’s like eating a meal without limiting yourself to just one dish.”

However, if you’d like to sit down and enjoy a meal, I recommend you try a restaurant named Roast. Situated on the first floor of the market, you can people watch to your hearts content while sampling the best of British cuisine. Breakfast and afternoon tea is also served. Habib Ramano, a Roast customer, comments:

“I’ve just had the liver and bacon and it was superb. I think it’s great they’re taking advantage of all the great produce from the market.”

While the future of Borough Market hangs in the balance one thing is for sure; it’s a fabulous place to visit if you happen to be in London. Showcasing the best of British organic produce as well as unusual organic and traditional foods from other countries, Borough Market is a refreshing step away from junk. Expect a warm and friendly atmosphere. Stall holder Michelle Rodriguez comments:

“Here at Borough Market we’re all like one big happy family. Everyone knows everyone, and we all help each other. That’s what I think is so nice about it.”

Looking around at the delighted faces it cannot be deined that Borough Market is an OrganicFoodee’s dream come true.

Lesson Title: Social Media and Social Movements

Introduction:
Social media has become an integral part of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, share information, and express our opinions. In this lesson, we will explore how social media has become a powerful tool for launching social movements and creating change. We will learn about the benefits of social media for social movements, the challenges they face, and how to use social media effectively to create change.

Section 1: The Power of Social Media for Social Movements

Topic 1: Connectivity and Reach
Social media has made it easier for people to connect with each other, regardless of geographical distance. This means that social movements can reach a wider audience and gain more support than ever before. Social media also allows people to share information quickly and easily, which can help to spread awareness of a cause or issue.

Topic 2: Speed and Immediacy
Social media allows people to share information instantly, which can be crucial in social movements. For example, if there is an incident of police brutality, people can share videos and images of the event on social media immediately. This can help to spread awareness and mobilize support for the movement quickly.

Topic 3: Low Cost of Use
Social media is free to use, which means that social movements can reach a wide audience without having to spend a lot of money on advertising or other forms of outreach. This makes it possible for grassroots movements to gain traction and grow quickly.

Activity: Discuss with your classmates some examples of social movements that have used social media effectively. What were the benefits of using social media in these cases?

Section 2: Challenges of Social Media for Social Movements

Topic 1: Trolls and Hate Speech
Social media can be a platform for hate speech and harassment. Trolls may try to derail social movements by posting hateful comments or spreading misinformation. This can be challenging for social movements because it can be difficult to respond effectively without giving the trolls what they want (attention).

Topic 2: Misinformation and Fake News
Social media can also be a breeding ground for misinformation and fake news. This can be particularly challenging for social movements because it can undermine their credibility and make it harder to gain support.

Topic 3: Addiction to Social Media
Social media can be addictive, which means that people may spend too much time on social media platforms and not enough time taking action offline. This can be a challenge for social movements because it can make it harder to mobilize support and create change.

Activity: Brainstorm some strategies that social movements can use to address these challenges. How can they respond to trolls and hate speech? How can they combat misinformation and fake news? How can they balance their use of social media with other forms of activism?

Section 3: Using Social Media Effectively for Social Movements

Topic 1: Developing a Strategy
Social movements need to develop a strategy for using social media effectively. This may involve deciding which platforms to use, which types of content to share, and how often to post. It may also involve developing a plan for responding to trolls and other challenges.

Topic 2: Creating Compelling Content
Social movements need to create compelling content that will resonate with their audience. This may involve using visuals, stories, and other forms of media to convey their message. It may also involve using humor or other engaging tactics to capture people's attention.

Topic 3: Building Community
Social media can be a powerful tool for building community. Social movements can use social media to connect with like-minded individuals, share resources, and build a sense of solidarity. This can help to create a sense of belonging and motivate people to take action.

Activity: Work in groups to develop a social media strategy for a hypothetical social movement. What types of content will you share? How frequently will you post? How will you respond to trolls and other challenges?

Conclusion:
Social media has the power to transform social movements by connecting people, spreading information quickly, and making it easy to organize. However, social movements also face challenges such as trolls, misinformation, and addiction to social media. By developing a strategy, creating compelling content, and building community, social movements can use social media effectively to create change.

Lesson: Introduction to Algebra

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the manipulation and representation of numbers, symbols, and operations. It is used to solve various types of problems involving quantities, such as distance, speed, and time.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example problem: A train is traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour. If the train travels for 4 hours, how far will it have traveled?

To solve this problem, we can use algebra. We know that speed = distance/time, so we can rearrange the formula to get distance = speed x time.

Substituting the given values, we get:

Distance = 60 miles/hour x 4 hours

Distance = 240 miles

So, the train will have traveled 240 miles.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Algebra is not only useful in solving mathematical problems but also in real-life situations. For example, if you are planning a road trip, you can use algebra to calculate the total cost of gas based on the distance traveled, the price per gallon, and the fuel efficiency of your car.

## Glossary

- Algebra: A branch of mathematics that deals with the manipulation and representation of numbers, symbols, and operations.
- Manipulation: The process of changing or altering something to suit one's purposes.
- Representation: The act of expressing or presenting information in a way that makes it understandable and meaningful.
- Symbols: A letter, number, or other object representing a concept or idea.
- Operations: A process or set of rules to perform a task or achieve a goal.

## Conclusion

Algebra is a fundamental tool in mathematics that allows us to solve various types of problems involving quantities. By understanding the basic concepts and applying them to real-world scenarios, we can make informed decisions and solve complex problems.

Lesson: The Importance of Vehicle Safety Features
Introduction:
Cars have come a long way in terms of safety features. From seat belts and airbags to anti-lock brakes and traction control, modern cars are designed to protect drivers and passengers in the event of an accident. However, there was a time when cars were much more dangerous, and their interiors were largely to blame. In this lesson, we will explore the history of vehicle safety features and learn about some of the most dangerous car interiors in history.
Section 1: The Evolution of Vehicle Safety Features
Topic 1: Seat Belts
- Definition: A seat belt is a safety device used to secure passengers in a vehicle during a collision or sudden stop.
- Example: When a car stops quickly, the seat belt keeps the driver and passengers from being thrown forward or out of the car.
Topic 2: Airbags
- Definition: An airbag is a cushion that inflates rapidly during a collision to protect the driver and passengers from injury.
- Example: During a sudden stop, the airbag deploys and cushions the impact of the driver's body, reducing the risk of injury.
Topic 3: Anti-Lock Brakes
- Definition: Anti-lock brakes are a safety feature that prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain control of the car.
- Example: Without anti-lock brakes, the wheels could lock up, causing the car to skid and lose control.
Section 2: The 13 Most Dangerous Car Interiors in History
Topic 1: The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
- Reason for danger: The steering wheel was located too close to the driver, making it easy to hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.
- Consequences: This led to many accidents and injuries.
Topic 2: The 1958 Edsel
- Reason for danger: The dashboard was designed with a large, round speedometer that was difficult to read while driving.
- Consequences: This made it hard for drivers to keep track of their speed, leading to many accidents and tickets.
Topic 3: The 1964 Ford Mustang
- Reason for danger: The car had no seat belts and a low roofline, making it easy for passengers to be ejected from the car in a crash.
- Consequences: Many people were injured or killed in accidents involving the Mustang.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, vehicle safety features have come a long way since the days of the 13 most dangerous car interiors in history. Today, cars are designed with safety in mind, and drivers and passengers are better protected in the event of an accident. By understanding the importance of these safety features, we can appreciate the advancements that have been made and continue to push for even safer vehicles in the future.

Karen Schmeer, the brilliant local film editor whose work on Errol Morris's documentary The Fog of War helped win it the Best Documentary Oscar in 2004, died January 29 in a tragic accident, struck by a getaway car as she was crossing a street in Manhattan. She would have turned 40 on February 20.

Recognized as one of the best editors in documentary filmmaking, Schmeer also worked with several other filmmakers, including local directors Lucia Small on her My Father, the Genius (2002) and Robb Moss on his The Same River Twice (2003), as well as the late Hollywood legend Sydney Pollack on his Sketches of Frank Gehry (2005). Last year, she won the Sundance Film Festival's Documentary Film Editing Award for Greg Barker's Sergio.

Commenting on her death at this past weekend's Sundance Festival Awards Ceremony, Barker said, "I had the incredible honor of accepting this very award and standing here a year ago for the amazing work that Karen did on Sergio. . . . We look for meaning in tragedy, you just don't know what the meaning is. All of us, this community here — and it is a community — have lost a very great talent and a very dear friend."

Schmeer first became part of that community after graduating from Boston University in 1992 and taking a job with the Cambridge-based Morris as an intern. But it wasn't long before her editing talent made her one of Morris's chief collaborators. Not only did he thank her by name when he accepted the Oscar for TheFog of War, but he proudly acknowledged her decisive contribution to Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (1997), winner of the Best Documentary awards from the National, New York, and Boston film-critic societies.

I had the good fortune of meeting with Schmeer a few times some years ago and found her ebullient and self-deprecating. She was that rarity — a genuinely nice person. But she had real steel underneath, enough to confront filmmakers like Morris and tell them when they were going astray. She wouldn't compromise when it came to her artistic principles. That idealism made her one of the most respected practitioners of her craft. Her warmth, energy, and kindheartedness made her one of the most beloved.

"Incredibly modest, Karen would have been amazed, and probably appalled, to discover that she's an indie-movie celebrity, with tributes in newspapers everywhere, including the New York Times," says Phoenix film critic Gerald Peary, her one-time boyfriend. "I'd like to believe she'd be comforted to know that her friends have gathered in many American cities to speak together about this kind, wonderful, so talented person."

Review: Daddy Longlegs For about an hour, Josh and Benny Safdie’s trendy indie about a deadbeat dad taking care of his two boys for two weeks in Manhattan seems like the kind of movie in which you hate everybody — especially the directors.

On the Ground Zero 'Mosque' So what's the big deal? Muslims already pray in the Pentagon, which along with the obliterated World Trade Towers was the other successful terrorist target on September 11, 2001.

The backstory on Curt Schilling's Rhode Island jaunt The Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation's controversial decision to offer a $75 million loan guarantee to former Red Sox ace Curt Schilling's video-game company, 38 Studios, has become a prime issue on the campaign trail.

Lesson: Introduction to Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the manipulation and solution of equations. It is used in various fields such as science, engineering, and finance. In this lesson, we will introduce the basic concepts of algebra, including variables, constants, and operations.

**Section 1: Variables and Constants**

In algebra, a variable is a letter or symbol that represents an unknown value. For example, in the equation 2x + 5 = 10, "x" is the variable. A constant is a fixed value that does not change during the course of a problem. For example, in the same equation, 5 and 10 are constants.

**Section 2: Operations**

There are four basic operations in algebra: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations can be performed on variables and constants to solve equations.

Addition: When two numbers are added, the result is called the sum. For example, 3 + 4 = 7.
Subtraction: When one number is subtracted from another, the result is called the difference. For example, 5 - 2 = 3.
Multiplication: When two numbers are multiplied, the result is called the product. For example, 3 x 4 = 12.
Division: When one number is divided by another, the result is called the quotient. For example, 8 ÷ 2 = 4.

**Section 3: Solving Equations**

An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal. In algebra, we use variables to represent unknown values, and we solve equations to find the value of the variable.

To solve an equation, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation and the constants on the other side. We can do this by using inverse operations. For example, if we want to solve the equation 2x + 5 = 10, we can subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 5. Then, we can divide both sides by 2 to get x = 2.5.

**Section 4: Examples**

1. Solve for x: 3x - 5 = 12
   To solve for x, we first add 5 to both sides of the equation: 3x = 17. Then, we divide both sides by 3: x = 5.67 (rounded to two decimal places).

2. Solve for y: 2y + 8 = 20
   To solve for y, we first subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: 2y = 12. Then, we divide both sides by 2: y = 6.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we introduced the basic concepts of algebra, including variables, constants, and operations. We also learned how to solve equations using inverse operations. By mastering these concepts, we can apply them to various scenarios in our daily lives, such as solving problems in finance, science, and engineering.

**Glossary**

- Variable: A letter or symbol representing an unknown value.
- Constant: A fixed value that does not change during the course of a problem.
- Operation: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Equation: A statement that two expressions are equal.
- Solution: The value of the variable in an equation.

II. Introduction to Guitars and their Values
Guitars are stringed musical instruments that are played by plucking or strumming the strings to produce sound. They come in various shapes, sizes, and brands, each with its unique features and values. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of guitars, their values, and how to determine the value of a guitar.
Types of Guitars
There are several types of guitars, including acoustic, electric, classical, and bass. Each type has its unique features and is used for different genres of music.
Acoustic guitars are the most common type of guitar. They are typically made of wood and produce sound through the vibration of the strings. They are often used for folk, country, and bluegrass music.
Electric guitars, on the other hand, require an amplifier to produce sound. They have a pickup that converts the vibrations of the strings into an electrical signal that can be amplified. Electric guitars are commonly used in rock, metal, and pop music.
Classical guitars are similar to acoustic guitars but have nylon strings instead of steel strings. They are often used for classical and flamenco music.
Bass guitars are larger than other types of guitars and have lower pitches. They are commonly used in rock, funk, and jazz music.
Determining the Value of a Guitar
To determine the value of a guitar, several factors need to be considered. These include the brand, model, condition, rarity, and demand for the guitar. Here are some steps to follow when determining the value of a guitar:
1. Research the brand and model of the guitar. You can use online resources such as eBay, Reverb, and Craigslist to find comparable guitars and their prices.
2. Assess the condition of the guitar. A guitar in mint condition will command a higher price than one that is worn out or damaged.
3. Consider the rarity of the guitar. Some guitars are rare and highly sought after, which can increase their value.
4. Determine the demand for the guitar. If there is a high demand for the guitar, its value will be higher.
III. Practical Examples
Let's say you have a vintage Aria Diamond guitar that you want to sell. To determine its value, you can follow the steps outlined above. First, research the brand and model of the guitar. Aria Diamond is a brand of guitar made in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s. These guitars are highly sought after by collectors and can command high prices. Next, assess the condition of the guitar. If it is in mint condition, it will command a higher price than one that is worn out or damaged. Finally, consider the rarity of the guitar and the demand for it. Since Aria Diamond guitars are rare and highly sought after, their value is high.
IV. Self-Debating Discussions
1. Why are guitars valuable?
Guitars are valuable because they are cultural artifacts that have been used for centuries to create music. They are also works of art that require skill and craftsmanship to make. Guitars have become symbols of rock and roll culture and are highly prized by collectors and musicians alike.
2. How do I determine the value of my guitar?
To determine the value of your guitar, you need to research the brand, model, condition, rarity, and demand for the guitar. You can use online resources such as eBay, Reverb, and Craigslist to find comparable guitars and their prices. You should also consult with a guitar expert or appraiser to get an accurate valuation of your guitar.
V. Glossary
Aria Diamond - a brand of guitar made in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s
Condition - the state of preservation of a guitar
Rarity - the quality of being unusual or hard to find
Demand - the desire for a product or service
VI. Conclusion
In conclusion, guitars are valuable cultural artifacts that are highly prized by collectors and musicians alike. To determine the value of your guitar, you need to research the brand, model, condition, rarity, and demand for the guitar. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can accurately determine the value of your guitar and make informed decisions about selling or buying guitars.

Contracts are essential in various industries, including business, employment, and healthcare. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of contracts, their importance, and how to read and understand them.

Section 1: What is a Contract?

A contract is a written or oral agreement between two or more parties that establishes the rights and obligations of each party. It is a legally enforceable document that outlines the terms and conditions of a particular service or product. Contracts are essential in various industries, including business, employment, and healthcare.

Section 2: Why are Contracts Important?

Contracts are essential because they provide a clear understanding of the expectations and responsibilities of both parties involved. They help prevent misunderstandings and conflicts by setting out the agreed-upon terms and conditions. Additionally, contracts provide legal protection for both parties, ensuring that each party can enforce their rights if necessary.

Section 3: How to Read and Understand Contracts

Reading and understanding contracts can be challenging, but there are some steps you can take to make the process easier:

1. Read the entire contract carefully before signing it. Make sure you understand all the terms and conditions.
2. Look for any clauses that may be unfavorable to you and try to negotiate them before signing.
3. Use a contract template or sample contract to help you understand the structure and language used in contracts.
4. Ask a lawyer or legal expert to review the contract and explain any parts you don't understand.
5. Make sure you keep a copy of the signed contract for your records.

Section 4: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Let's consider an example of a contract between a freelance web designer and a client. The designer creates a website for the client, and the contract outlines the terms and conditions of the project. The contract includes the scope of work, timelines, payment terms, and confidentiality clauses.

In another scenario, a healthcare provider enters into a contract with an insurance company to provide medical services to its patients. The contract outlines the services covered by the insurance, the rates charged, and the procedures for claims processing.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, understanding contracts is essential in various industries. By learning the basics of contracts and how to read and understand them, you can protect your rights and interests while ensuring that you meet your obligations under the contract. Remember that contracts are legally binding agreements, so it's crucial to understand their implications and consequences before signing.

U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland leaves during a break in a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, November 20, 2019. (Loren Elliott/Reuters)

Kevin Williamson has asked me to weigh in on Breguet-gate, the fact that Ambassador Sondland was wearing a Breguet Marine Chronograph on a bracelet. The Washington Examiner made some hay about this.

I like Breguet watches — as I’ve mentioned in the pages of National Review, one of my aspirations in life is to own a Breguet Chronometer that retails for roughly as much as the Toyota minivan I drive my children in.

First of all: Great watch! Though, if I were him, I’d not have worn a sports watch to a congressional hearing.

Secondly, I’m not sure the Examiner is correct that this watch costs nearly $55,000. First, I can’t reliably distinguish between white gold and stainless steel at a distance of a few feet. I certainly can’t distinguish it in a photograph. That detail alone could knock the retail price down at least $20,000. Thirdly — and this is something I don’t expect every Examiner author to know — only suckers pay retail prices for luxury watches. There are maybe half a dozen new luxury watches that sell for their retail price or above. Most of them are Rolex sports watches. And another is a Patek Phillippe. Breguet is notoriously a “good buy” among watch hounds if you don’t care about whether it retains its resale value. Sondland doesn’t strike me as a sucker about money, at least. I bet his watch probably is white gold. But I’d be surprised if he paid more than 75 percent of the retail price for it, even if he bought it on Fifth Avenue a week before Christmas.

So, yes, it’s an expensive watch by normal standards. And it’s a pretty dear one by watch-hound standards. But this is a man who is rich enough to get inauguration tickets and a diplomatic post. Compared to an ambassadorship, a Breguet is a trifle. Though between the two, I’d take the Breguet every day of the week.

textbook:
t I'd prefer to own over a Breguet Marine Chronograph, but that's just me.

Breguet-gate is a silly story, but it’s also a great example of the kind of silly stories that the media loves to chase. It’s not just the Examiner that’s making hay out of this; the New York Times and other outlets have weighed in as well. And it’s not just the media that loves to chase silly stories; it’s also the public that enjoys them.

But there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a good story, even if it’s silly. And there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a good watch, even if it’s expensive. In fact, I think that’s one of the things that makes life worth living: the ability to enjoy small pleasures, whether it’s a good story or a nice watch.

So let’s enjoy Breguet-gate for what it is: a silly story about a nice watch. And let’s not take it too seriously. After all, there are more important things going on in the world right now.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand News Articles

Introduction:
News articles are an essential source of information that helps us stay informed about current events and happenings around us. However, reading news articles can be challenging, especially if you don't know how to read them critically. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand news articles by analyzing the structure, language, and tone of the article.

Section 1: Understanding the Structure of a News Article

A news article typically follows a specific structure, which includes:

1. Headline: The headline is the first thing you see when reading a news article. It should be catchy and give you an idea of what the article is about.

2. Lead: The lead is the first paragraph of the article. It should provide the most important information about the story and grab your attention.

3. Body: The body of the article contains more details about the story. It may include quotes from people involved, background information, and analysis of the event.

4. Conclusion: The conclusion summarizes the main points of the article and provides closure.

By understanding the structure of a news article, you can better comprehend the information presented and identify any biases or agendas the author may have.

Section 2: Analyzing the Language and Tone of a News Article

The language and tone of a news article can also provide insight into the story. Here are some things to consider:

1. Objectivity: A news article should be objective, meaning it presents facts without any personal opinions or biases. However, some articles may have a subjective tone, which means the author's personal opinions are included.

2. Sensationalism: Some news articles may use sensational language to grab your attention. This doesn't necessarily mean the story is not true, but it may be exaggerated for effect.

Lesson: Solar Power and PWM Circuits
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about solar power and PWM circuits. We will explore how solar power can be used to power PWM circuits and how to build a simple PWM circuit using a solar kit. We will also discuss the importance of using resistors to limit the transistor base current and how to control the speed of a motor using PWM.
Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is that solar power can be used to power PWM circuits, and understanding how to build a simple PWM circuit using a solar kit can help us save energy and reduce our carbon footprint.
Section 1: Solar Power Basics
Topic 1: What is Solar Power?
Solar power is the energy that comes from the sun. It is a renewable source of energy that can be harnessed using solar panels. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that can be used to power electronic devices.
Topic 2: How does Solar Power Work?
Solar power works by absorbing sunlight with solar panels, which then convert the sunlight into electricity. This electricity can be stored in batteries or used immediately to power electronic devices.
Topic 3: Why use Solar Power?
Solar power is a clean and renewable source of energy that can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. It is also a cost-effective way to power electronic devices, especially in remote locations where traditional power sources are not available.
Section 2: Building a Simple PWM Circuit
Topic 1: What is a PWM Circuit?
A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) circuit is a type of electronic circuit that generates a square wave signal. The width of each pulse can be adjusted to control the amount of power delivered to a load, such as a motor or light bulb.
Topic 2: How to Build a Simple PWM Circuit using a Solar Kit
To build a simple PWM circuit using a solar kit, you will need the following components:
- Solar panel
- Regulator
- Transistor
- Resistor
- Potentiometer
Here are the steps to build the circuit:
1. Connect the solar panel to the regulator.
2. Connect the regulator to the positive terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the transistor to the negative terminal of the battery.
4. Connect one end of the potentiometer to the base of the transistor.
5. Connect the other end of the potentiometer to the ground.
6. Connect the emitter of the transistor to the collector of the second transistor.
7. Connect the collector of the second transistor to the positive terminal of the load.
8. Connect the negative terminal of the load to the ground.
Topic 3: Why use a Solar Kit?
Using a solar kit is an environmentally friendly way to power electronic devices. It reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Section 3: Controlling Motor Speed with PWM
Topic 1: What is PWM Motor Control?
PWM motor control is a method of controlling the speed of a motor by modulating the width of the pulses in a square wave signal. The wider the pulses, the more power is delivered to the motor, and the faster it will spin.
Topic 2: How to Control Motor Speed with PWM
To control the speed of a motor using PWM, you will need the following components:
- PWM circuit (built in Section 2)
- Motor driver
- Motor
Here are the steps to control the motor speed with PWM:
1. Connect the PWM circuit to the motor driver.
2. Connect the motor driver to the motor.
3. Adjust the potentiometer to control the speed of the motor.
Topic 3: Why use PWM Motor Control?
PWM motor control is an efficient way to control the speed of a motor because it only delivers as much power as needed. This reduces energy consumption and prolongs the life of the motor.
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about solar power and PWM circuits and how they can be used to power electronic devices and control the speed of motors. We also learned about the importance of using resistors to limit the transistor base current and how to build a simple PWM circuit using a solar kit. By understanding these concepts, we can save energy and reduce our carbon footprint while still enjoying the benefits of modern technology.

Religion in American Politics [UPDATED]

Are Democrats the Party of Disbelief simply because they don't blatantly pander -- as much -- to the religious fundamentalists in this country? Arthur C. Brooks of the National Review thinks so.

It will surprise nobody to learn that the American left is much less religious than the rest of the U.S. population. The General Social Survey tells us that in 2004, liberals were less than half as likely as conservatives to attend a house of worship weekly, and nearly three times as likely as conservatives never to attend. Furthermore, the American left is becoming more secular still: While 27percent of American liberals attended church weekly in 1974, only 16percent did by 2004. In contrast, the percentage of church-attending conservatives rose over the same period from 38percent to 46percent.There are still some religious liberals left in America, but today they are outnumbered by religious conservatives by about four to one.

Secular liberals, and especially those who are explicitly nonbelievers, have become a major force on the political left. Researchers have found, for example, that delegates to the Democratic National Convention — the politically-active folks who nominate the Democratic candidate for the U.S. presidency — are more than twice as likely to be completely secular as the population-at-large.

Further, secularists are by far the most politically active liberals at the grassroots level. In the 2005, the Maxwell Poll on Civic Engagement and Inequality revealed that those who never attend religious services are just 11 percent of the adult population in America. But they are 21 percent of self-described liberals, 27 percent of liberals who contribute money to political causes, and 33 percent of liberals who attend political rallies and events. The bottom line is that the Democratic party — at least at the national level — depends critically on nonbelievers. They have influence over American liberal politics that extends far beyond their actual numbers in the population.

In some cities in the United States, the secularist community has attained European proportions — and the politics in these places has followed suit. Take San Francisco, which the Bay Area Center for Voting Research ranks as the ninth most liberal city — out of 237 — in America, and where just 12 percent of voters are registered Republicans. The Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey shows that in 2000, San Franciscans were more than three times as likely as the overall U.S. population to have “no religion.” Or consider Seattle, the sixteenth most liberal city. Seattleites are only about half as likely as the rest of the nation to attend worship services regularly.

The truth is that secularists have nothing to complain about when it comes to political power. Their representation in American liberal political activity is disproportionately high, it is increasing, and it utterly dominates the political scene in many places. What secularists might legitimately complain about is the fact that liberal political leaders rarely acknowledge their contribution. To my knowledge, for example, Senator Clinton has never thanked the atheist community for what will no doubt prove to be energetic support for her presidential candidacy. Why is this? Nonbelievers might justifiably ask Mrs. Clinton and other Democratic leaders for the credit they truly deserve.

Being a secular liberal is not the same as being a non-believer. Atheists account for only about 3% of the US population. I have no stats of this, but I'd guess that atheists are in both parties. Most secular liberals do believe in God, they just aren't fundamentalists or literalists when it comes to reading the Bible. Secularists simply believe in the First Amendment's separation clause. Nothing wrong with that.

Me thinks Brooks and the other conservatives who make this argument are just plain wrong.

The poll of 2,455 U.S. adults from Nov 7 to 13 found that 82 percent of those surveyed believed in God, a figure unchanged since the question was asked in 2005.

It further found that 79 percent believed in miracles, 75 percent in heaven, while 72 percent believed that Jesus is God or the Son of God. Belief in hell and the devil was expressed by 62 percent.

Darwin's theory of evolution met a far more skeptical audience which might surprise some outsiders as the United States is renowned for its excellence in scientific research.

Only 42 percent of those surveyed said they believed in Darwin's theory which largely informs how biology and related sciences are approached. While often referred to as evolution it is in fact the 19th century British intellectual's theory of "natural selection."

There are unsurprising differences among religious groups.

"Born-again Christians are more likely to believe in the traditional elements of Christianity than are Catholics or Protestants. For example, 95 percent believe in miracles, compared to 87 percent and 89 percent among Catholics and Protestants," according to the poll.

"On the other hand only 16 percent of born-again Christians, compared to 43 percent of Catholics and 30 percent of Protestants, believe in Darwin's theory of evolution."

What is perhaps surprising is that substantial minorities in America apparently believe in ghosts, UFOs, witches, astrology and reincarnation.

If being a "believer" means believing in a red guy with horns, ghost, witches (not Wiccans), miracles, and other such nonsense, I'm happy to be a non-believer.
