How to Potty Train a Miniature Horse

By Jelena Woehr| Updated August 11, 2017

Items you will need

Clicker

Treats

Assistant

Warnings

No matter how closely you observe your miniature horse, some indoor accidents will occur during this training process. If you simply can't cope with cleaning up feces or urine inside your home, don't attempt to keep a miniature horse as an indoor pet.

You may be tempted to bring your miniature horse with you into public places once he is house-trained. This is acceptable in some places, such as most chain pet stores and many public parks, but you always should call ahead for permission when planning a day trip with your miniature horse.

Tips

Once your miniature horse has learned to relieve himself only outdoors, try teaching him to ring a bell when he needs to go out. This can be accomplished by hanging a bell by the door and ringing it as you pass through the doorway each time you take him outdoors for a break. Your horse will soon learn that the bell signifies a break and will ring it to summon you.

If you can't get up during the night to take your miniature horse outside, consider keeping him outdoors at night and bringing him in only during the day.

When using treats for training, prevent obesity by reducing your miniature horse's daily hay and grain ration by approximately as many calories as he consumes in treats each day.

Miniature horses can be house-trained with positive reinforcement and dedication. Potty training a miniature horse is a project best suited to experienced trainers who don't mind cleaning up a few messes along the way. A fully house-trained miniature horse can delay elimination for up to six hours, according to the Guide Horse Foundation.

Potty Training a Miniature Horse

Teach your miniature horse to expect a treat when he hears a click from your clicker. This can be accomplished by clicking the clicker and offering a treat immediately after the click. Repeat this until your horse immediately looks for a treat when he hears a click.

Click and give a treat to your miniature horse each time he relieves himself. During this part of the training process, you will need to observe your horse for as many hours as possible each day. Most miniature horses will eliminate only once every three to four hours, giving you few opportunities to reinforce this behavior. You may need an assistant to watch your miniature horse when you can't be present and reinforce him for eliminating.

Introduce a cue. Each time your miniature horse eliminates, use a distinctive signal to acknowledge the behavior before clicking and treating your horse. The cue can be a whistle, a word, a hand gesture or anything else the horse can easily differentiate from normal sights and sounds.

Reward your miniature horse for relieving himself only after you've given your chosen cue. This is called "tightening your criteria for reinforcement." Set your miniature horse up for success by giving your elimination cue at times and in situations where he usually relieves himself.

Bring your miniature horse indoors. At this stage, your miniature horse should never be out of a human's sight. You will need an assistant to help you watch the horse constantly. If he shows any signs of needing to eliminate, like raising his tail or stretching to urinate, he should be taken outside, given his elimination cue and rewarded for eliminating outdoors.

Reinforce outdoor elimination on cue and ignore any indoor elimination behavior. Continue to take your miniature horse outdoors immediately if he shows signs of eliminating in the house. Over a period of several weeks, your horse will learn to wait to relieve himself until you take him out for a bathroom break. Remember, he can't "hold it" for longer than five to six hours.

Title: How to Potty Train a Miniature Horse

Introduction:

Miniature horses are cute and adorable pets that can be trained to do various tricks, including potty training. Just like any other animal, potty training a miniature horse requires patience, consistency, and dedication. In this lesson, we will cover the steps to potty train a miniature horse, the items you will need, and the warnings to consider before starting the process.

Step 1: Choose a suitable location for potty training

The first step in potty training a miniature horse is to choose a suitable location where they will relieve themselves. You should pick an area that is easy to clean and maintain, such as concrete or a gravel surface. Also, ensure that the location is easily accessible and within view of the horse.

Step 2: Establish a routine

Establishing a routine is essential when potty training a miniature horse. Take the horse out to relieve themselves after eating, playing, or waking up from sleep. Consistency is crucial, so ensure that you take the horse out at the same time every day.

Step 3: Use a clicker

A clicker is a device that makes a sound when pressed. It is an essential tool when potty training a miniature horse because it helps reinforce positive behavior. When the horse relieves itself outside, click the clicker and give them a treat. This will help the horse associate going outdoors with good things.

Step 4: Use treats

Treats are essential when potty training a miniature horse. Use treats that the horse loves, such as carrots or apples, to reward them for going outdoors to relieve themselves. The treats will help reinforce the good behavior and make the horse want to go outdoors more often.

Step 5: Assistant

Consider getting an assistant to help you with the potty training process. Having someone else to take the horse out can be helpful, especially if you are busy or have other commitments. The assistant should also use the clicker and give the horse treats when they go outdoors.

Warnings:

No matter how closely you observe your miniature horse, some indoor accidents will occur during this training process. If you simply can't cope with cleaning up feces or urine inside your home, don't attempt to keep a miniature horse as an indoor pet.

Conclusion:

Potty training a miniature horse requires patience, consistency, and dedication. By following the steps outlined above, you can successfully potty train your miniature horse. Remember to establish a routine, use a clicker, and use treats to reinforce positive behavior. Also, ensure that you choose a suitable location for potty training and consider getting an assistant to help you with the process.

Trooper deaths show challenge of patrolling state

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The shooting deaths of two Alaska State Troopers devastated their colleagues, who face the same dangers and vulnerabilities as they patrol a tough terrain and remote villages dotted throughout the state.

"This will take us a long time to heal," trooper Col. James Cockrell said Friday. "The department is totally focused more on the families involved. This is a tragedy for them. It's totally unexpected."

The slayings of Trooper Gabriel "Gabe" Rich, 26, and Sgt. Patrick "Scott" Johnson, 45, on Thursday in the isolated community of Tanana underscored the challenges law enforcement faces in this huge state. Like many troopers assigned to patrol multiple villages, Rich and Johnson were not based in the interior community of 238 people. They worked out of the troopers' Fairbanks rural service unit 130 miles to the east, and they had to reach Tanana by plane.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the killing of Rich and Johnson, both of whom had appeared on a cable TV reality show about the Alaska State Troopers. Formal charges against Nathanial Lee Kangas of Tanana were being prepared by troopers with the state Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals. The troopers said they believe he used a semi-automatic rifle in the shootings, which are still under investigation.

The teenager's father, Arvin Kangas, 58, of Tanana, also was arrested. He is charged with assault in connection with a confrontation Wednesday with an unarmed village public safety officer, Mark Haglin.

The elder Kangas was angry about selling a sofa he had not yet been paid for, Cockrell said. At one point, Arvin Kangas pointed a shotgun at Haglin as the public safety officer drove by the suspect's house, troopers said. Village public safety officers are unarmed, but a bill passed by lawmakers this year would allow for the arming of the officers, who serve as first responders in rural communities that can be located hours or days, depending on the weather, from the nearest state trooper.

Reached by telephone, Haglin referred questions to troopers.

Only sketchy details have been released about what transpired before the shootings in the community. No roads lead to Tanana, and travel there is mainly by aircraft. Because of the location of the village, about two miles west of the junction of the Tanana and Yukon rivers, the community was a trading post for Koyukon and Tanana Athabascans long before European contact, according to a state website. Residents continue to live a traditional Athabascan lifestyle, including hunting and fishing for their food.

Tanana resident Ruby Cruger is related to the Kangas, but she said she did not know the details of the shooting, just that it has affected the entire community.

"They're all shocked," Cruger said of the town's reaction to the shooting.

The troopers arrived in Tanana at about 2:45 p.m. Thursday to serve an arrest warrant on the elder Kangas. Cockrell said the troopers soon encountered the elder Kangas just outside the front door of his home. They were trying to place him under arrest when a struggle erupted, and the three men went inside through the door, where the younger Kangas shot the officers at about 3 p.m., according to troopers.

Shortly after, the village officer notified troopers, saying one of the officers was dead and the other one possibly also. It's not clear what role the village officer played at the scene, although he was in the vicinity when the shootings occurred, Cockrell said.

Nathanial Kangas was arrested soon after. His father ran off to another home and surrendered late Thursday night, according to troopers. Both men are in custody in Fairbanks.

Rich and Johnson were occasionally featured on the National Geographic Channel show "Alaska State Troopers," which features multiple troopers patrolling the state's wild terrain. The troopers were not filming at the time of their deaths. Filming in the fifth season is currently being done with other troopers.

National Geographic said in a statement that it was "incredibly saddened" to learn of the deaths. Spokesman Chris Albert said the troopers are among the many who are subjected to the daily challenges of working in isolated areas of the state, such as Tanana.

Johnson was born in Fairbanks and grew up in the Alaska community of Tok. He was a veteran trooper who joined the force in 1993. He spent his career in Fairbanks and worked a variety of roles, including patrol trooper, field training officer and as a canine officer, instructor and canine unit supervisor. He also had worked as a supervisor of a Fairbanks-area narcotics team. Survivors include his wife and three daughters.

Rich was born in Sayre, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Fairbanks. He first worked as a patrolman with the North Pole Police Department southeast of Fairbanks before deciding to join the troopers in 2011. With the troopers, he spent most of his career on patrol. Survivors include his fiance, their 1-year-old son and his fiance's 8-year-old son. At the time of his death, Rich was in the process of adopting the older boy, troopers said.

Johnson and Rich joined the interior rural unit on Jan. 1. The unit covers 23 villages scattered across a sparse terrain.

Their deaths came the same day the name of Manokotak village public safety Officer Thomas Madole was added to the Indian Country Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Artesia, New Mexico. Madole was shot and killed March 19, 2013, while responding to a domestic violence call in the Alaska Native village.

Before Thursday, 64 law enforcement officers had been killed in the line of duty since 1897 in Alaska, according to information previously provided by the Alaska State Troopers.

Police memorials in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau are being planned to pay tribute to the slain troopers.

Lesson: Understanding the Challenges of Patrolling a State

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the challenges that law enforcement officers face when patrolling a state. We will focus on the recent shooting deaths of two Alaska State Troopers and how their colleagues face similar dangers and vulnerabilities when patrolling the tough terrain and remote villages of Alaska.

Section 1: Understanding the Challenges
Topic 1: Tough Terrain
Law enforcement officers in Alaska face the challenge of patrolling rugged and remote terrain. The state is vast, and many villages are only accessible by air or water. This makes it difficult for officers to respond quickly to emergencies and investigate crimes.

Topic 2: Remote Villages
Alaska has hundreds of villages, many of which are located in remote areas. Officers must travel long distances to reach these villages, often by plane or boat. This can be expensive and time-consuming, making it difficult for officers to provide adequate coverage to all areas of the state.

Topic 3: Isolated Communities
Many of Alaska's villages are small and isolated, with few resources available to residents. This can make it difficult for officers to respond to calls for assistance, as they may not have the necessary equipment or training to deal with certain situations.

Section 2: Practical Examples
Topic 1: The Shooting Deaths of Two Alaska State Troopers
On Thursday, two Alaska State Troopers were shot and killed while patrolling the interior community of Tanana. This tragedy underscores the dangers that law enforcement officers face when patrolling remote areas of the state.

Topic 2: The Challenge of Patrolling Multiple Villages
Like many troopers assigned to patrol multiple villages, Rich and Johnson were not based in the interior community of Tanana. They worked out of the troopers' Fairbanks rural service unit 130 miles to the east, and they had to reach Tanana by plane. This highlights the challenge of providing adequate coverage to all areas of the state.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Topic 1: How Can Law Enforcement Officers Overcome These Challenges?
One possible solution is to increase funding for law enforcement agencies in Alaska. This would allow officers to have better equipment and training, making it easier for them to respond to emergencies and investigate crimes.

Topic 2: What Role Do Community Members Play in Addressing These Challenges?
Community members can play an important role in addressing these challenges by reporting suspicious activity and working with law enforcement officers to keep their communities safe.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding the challenges of patrolling a state is essential for anyone interested in law enforcement or public safety. By examining the unique challenges faced by officers in Alaska, we can gain insight into the difficulties faced by law enforcement officers across the country. By working together, we can find solutions to these challenges and improve public safety for all.

Glossary:
- Tough Terrain: Difficult and rugged landscapes that make it challenging for law enforcement officers to patrol.
- Remote Villages: Small communities that are difficult to access due to their location.
- Isolated Communities: Small, remote villages that have limited resources and support.

Self-Debating Discussion:
Topic 1: How can law enforcement officers overcome the challenges of patrolling a state like Alaska?
- One possible solution is to increase funding for law enforcement agencies in Alaska. This would allow officers to have better equipment and training, making it easier for them to respond to emergencies and investigate crimes.
- Another solution could be to use technology, such as drones or body cameras, to help officers patrol remote areas more effectively.
- Community members can also play an important role in addressing these challenges by reporting suspicious activity and working with law enforcement officers to keep their communities safe.

Topic 2: What role do community members play in addressing these challenges?
- Community members can play an important role in addressing these challenges by reporting suspicious activity and working with law enforcement officers to keep their communities safe.
- By building strong relationships with local law enforcement, community members can help officers better understand the needs and concerns of their community.
- Community members can also work together to develop strategies for improving public safety, such as organizing neighborhood watch programs or volunteering to assist officers during emergencies.

Lesson: Introduction to Cryptocurrency

**Overview:** In this lesson, we will explore the basics of cryptocurrency, including what it is, how it works, and its potential benefits and risks. We will also discuss some of the most popular cryptocurrencies and their uses.

**Section 1: What is Cryptocurrency?**

Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security. It operates on a decentralized network called blockchain technology, which allows for secure and transparent transactions without the need for a central authority like a government or bank.

**Section 2: How does Cryptocurrency work?**

Cryptocurrency works by using a technology called blockchain, which is a digital ledger that records all transactions. These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in blocks, which are chained together in chronological order. This process ensures that the same cryptocurrency is not spent more than once and prevents fraudulent transactions.

**Section 3: Benefits and Risks of Cryptocurrency**

Benefits of cryptocurrency include lower transaction fees, increased privacy, and the ability to transact directly between users without the need for intermediaries. However, there are also risks associated with cryptocurrency, such as its high price volatility, potential for theft or hacking, and lack of widespread acceptance.

**Section 4: Popular Cryptocurrencies**

Some of the most popular cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Each has its own unique features and uses, but they all operate on the same blockchain technology.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In conclusion, cryptocurrency is a digital form of currency that operates on a decentralized network called blockchain technology. While it offers several benefits, there are also risks associated with its use. As the adoption of cryptocurrency continues to grow, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we transact and conduct business.

**Glossary:**
- Blockchain: A decentralized network that records transactions in blocks, which are chained together in chronological order.
- Cryptocurrency: A digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security.
- Decentralized: Operated or controlled by multiple participants, rather than a single central authority.
- Transaction: The transfer of funds between two parties.
- Wallet: A software program that stores the private keys needed to access a cryptocurrency.

**Self-Debate:** Should governments regulate cryptocurrency or allow it to remain decentralized?

Lesson: Introduction to Auto Insurance

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Auto insurance is a type of insurance that provides protection against financial loss in the event of an accident, theft, or other damage to your vehicle. It is required by law in most states to drive a car on public roads. There are several types of auto insurance coverage, including liability, collision, comprehensive, and uninsured motorist.

Liability coverage pays for damages you cause to others in an accident, such as property damage or bodily injury. Collision coverage pays for damages to your own vehicle caused by an accident with another car or object. Comprehensive coverage pays for damages caused by events other than collisions, such as theft, vandalism, or weather-related damage. Uninsured motorist coverage pays for damages caused by a driver who does not have insurance.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's say you are driving to work and suddenly a car hits yours from behind. The driver of the other car is at fault and runs away from the scene. Your car is damaged, but fortunately, you are not injured. You will need to file a claim with your auto insurance company to get reimbursed for the damages to your car. Since you have liability coverage, your insurance company will cover the cost of repairing your car up to the limit of your policy.

Now let's say you are driving to work again, but this time a tree falls on your car during a storm. Your car is severely damaged, and you will need to file a claim with your insurance company. Since you have comprehensive coverage, your insurance company will cover the cost of repairing your car up to the limit of your policy.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Why is auto insurance important?
- Auto insurance is important because it provides protection against financial loss in the event of an accident, theft, or other damage to your vehicle.
- It is also required by law in most states to drive a car on public roads.
- If you cause an accident and do not have insurance, you could be held financially responsible for the damages.
- If someone else causes an accident and does not have insurance, you could be left with the costs of repairing your car out of pocket.

What factors affect auto insurance rates?
- Age, gender, and marital status can affect rates.
- Driving record, including accidents and traffic tickets, can affect rates.
- Vehicle make and model, as well as its age and condition, can affect rates.
- Location can affect rates, as some areas have higher rates of theft or accidents.
- Coverage limits and deductibles can also affect rates.

### Glossary

Liability: Financial responsibility for damages caused by an accident
Collision: Damage to your own vehicle caused by an accident with another car or object
Comprehensive: Damage caused by events other than collisions, such as theft, vandalism, or weather-related damage
Uninsured motorist: Damages caused by a driver who does not have insurance

### Conclusion

In conclusion, auto insurance is an important type of insurance that provides protection against financial loss in the event of an accident, theft, or other damage to your vehicle. It is required by law in most states to drive a car on public roads. There are several types of auto insurance coverage, including liability, collision, comprehensive, and uninsured motorist. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and self-debating discussions, you can make informed decisions about auto insurance and protect yourself financially in case of an accident.

**Lesson:** How to Analyze and Evaluate Online Reviews

**Introduction:** In today's digital age, online reviews play a crucial role in helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions. However, not all reviews are created equal, and it can be challenging to determine which ones to trust. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze and evaluate online reviews to make better purchasing decisions.

**Section 1: Understanding Online Reviews**

- Online reviews are opinions or feedback left by users about a product, service, or experience.
- They can be found on various platforms, such as websites, social media, and e-commerce platforms.
- Reviews can be written, video, or image-based.
- They can be positive, negative, or neutral.

**Section 2: Analyzing Online Reviews**

- Start by reading the headline or summary of the review. This will give you an overview of the user's experience without having to read the entire review.
- Look at the reviewer's profile or history. If they have a history of leaving positive reviews, their opinion may be more credible.
- Check the date of the review. Older reviews may not be relevant to the current state of the product or service.
- Look for patterns in the reviews. If multiple reviews mention the same issue, it may be a genuine concern.
- Consider the source of the review. Reviews from reputable sources may be more reliable than those from unknown sources.

**Section 3: Evaluating Online Reviews**

- Consider the context of the review. Was the user's experience an anomaly, or did it reflect a broader trend?
- Determine the credibility of the reviewer. Are they an expert in the field, or are they just a regular user?
- Look for specific examples or details in the review. These can provide valuable insights into the user's experience.
- Compare the review with others. If multiple reviews mention the same issue, it may be a genuine concern.
- Consider the tone of the review. Some users may leave negative reviews simply to vent their frustrations, while others may leave positive reviews to help the company improve.

**Section 4: Applying Critical Thinking Skills**

- Ask yourself if the review is consistent with your own values and preferences. If you value customer service, for example, a review that focuses on product features may not be as relevant to you.
- Consider whether the review is biased. Some users may have a personal vendetta against the company or may be trying to promote a competitor.
- Think about whether the review is relevant to your needs. If you are looking for a specific feature, a review that does not mention it may not be helpful.
- Use your common sense. If something about the review seems off or too good to be true, it probably is.

**Glossary:**
- Review: An opinion or feedback left by a user about a product, service, or experience.
- Credibility: The quality of being trustworthy or reliable.
- Anomaly: A deviation from what is expected or normal.
- Context: The setting or circumstances in which something occurs.
- Values: Beliefs or principles that guide behavior.
- Preferences: A liking or preference for something.
- Bias: A prejudice or inclination in favor of or against someone or something.
- Common sense: The ability to understand and judge situations using basic intuition and practical intelligence.

**Conclusion:** By analyzing and evaluating online reviews, you can make more informed purchasing decisions. Remember to consider the credibility of the reviewer, the context of the review, and use critical thinking skills to determine the relevance and reliability of the information provided. With these skills, you can confidently navigate the world of online reviews and make the best choices for your needs.

Hypercoagulability following major partial liver resection - detected by thrombomodulin-modified thrombin generation testing.
Conventional coagulation tests are frequently prolonged after liver surgery, suggesting a post-operative hypocoagulability. However, these tests are unreliable for assessment of the haemostatic status in these patients. In contrast, thrombin generation testing measures the true balance between pro- and anti-coagulant factors. To study the perioperative coagulation status in patients undergoing hemi-hepatectomy using thrombin generation assays. We examined thrombin generation profiles in serial plasma samples taken from seventeen patients undergoing right hemi-hepatectomy. Results were compared to ten patients undergoing pancreatic resection and twenty-four healthy volunteers. In addition, we measured conventional coagulation tests and plasma levels of several haemostatic proteins. Following liver resection, the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) slightly decreased until post-operative day 7. However, in the presence of thrombomodulin, the ETP increased [from 542 nM*min (417-694) at baseline to 845 nM*min (789-1050) on post-operative day 3] to values higher than that in healthy subjects (558 nM*min (390-680); P < 0.001), which contrasts with substantially prolonged PT levels. Normal to decreased thrombin generation was observed following pancreatic resection. Thrombin generation was only slightly affected by thrombomodulin after hemi-hepatectomy, while thrombin generation in healthy subjects decreased profoundly upon addition of thrombomodulin. This hypercoagulability following liver resection may be explained by decreased levels of protein C, S, and antithrombin and by elevated levels of factor VIII. Thrombin generation in the presence of thrombomodulin revealed hypercoagulability in patients following liver resection. These results support the recently advocated restrictive use of plasma during liver resection and the exploration of more extensive use of post-operative thrombosis prophylaxis.

Lesson: Introduction to Thrombin Generation Testing

**Objective:** To understand the basic principles of thrombin generation testing and its application in evaluating the coagulation status of patients undergoing liver surgery.

**Materials:** None

**Activity:** This lesson will cover the following topics:

1. What is thrombin generation testing?
2. How does thrombin generation testing work?
3. Why is thrombin generation testing useful in evaluating the coagulation status of patients undergoing liver surgery?
4. How does thrombin generation testing differ from conventional coagulation tests?
5. What are the advantages and limitations of thrombin generation testing?

**Section 1: What is thrombin generation testing?**

Thrombin generation testing is a laboratory test used to measure the ability of blood to clot. It is a more advanced method of evaluating the coagulation status of patients compared to conventional coagulation tests.

**Section 2: How does thrombin generation testing work?**

Thrombin generation testing involves the addition of a series of clotting factors to a sample of blood. The test measures the amount of thrombin generated over time. This information is then used to determine the patient's clotting ability.

**Section 3: Why is thrombin generation testing useful in evaluating the coagulation status of patients undergoing liver surgery?**

Conventional coagulation tests are often not reliable in evaluating the coagulation status of patients undergoing liver surgery. Thrombin generation testing provides a more accurate measure of the patient's clotting ability, allowing for better monitoring and management of their coagulation status.

**Section 4: How does thrombin generation testing differ from conventional coagulation tests?**

Thrombin generation testing measures the true balance between pro- and anti-coagulant factors, whereas conventional coagulation tests only measure the activity of specific clotting factors. Thrombin generation testing provides a more comprehensive assessment of the patient's coagulation status.

**Section 5: What are the advantages and limitations of thrombin generation testing?**

The advantages of thrombin generation testing include its accuracy in evaluating the coagulation status of patients undergoing liver surgery. The limitations include the complexity of the test and the need for specialized equipment and trained personnel to perform the test.

**Conclusion:**

Thrombin generation testing is a valuable tool in evaluating the coagulation status of patients undergoing liver surgery. By providing a more accurate assessment of the patient's clotting ability, thrombin generation testing allows for better monitoring and management of their coagulation status. Understanding the basic principles of thrombin generation testing and its application in this context can help medical professionals make informed decisions about patient care.

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Battery for Your Device

Introduction:
Batteries are an essential part of our daily lives. From remote controls to smartphones, we rely on them to power our devices. However, not all batteries are created equal. In this lesson, we will learn how to choose the right battery for your device to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Section 1: Understanding Battery Specifications

Topic 1: Voltage
Voltage is a measure of the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. It is usually measured in volts (V). The voltage of a battery is an important factor to consider when choosing a battery for your device. Most devices require a specific voltage range, so it's essential to choose a battery with a voltage that matches your device's requirements.

Topic 2: Capacity
Capacity is a measure of the amount of energy a battery can store. It is usually measured in milliampere-hours (mAh) or ampere-hours (Ah). A higher capacity means that the battery can store more energy and last longer. However, capacity alone is not enough to determine the right battery for your device. You also need to consider the device's power consumption.

Topic 3: Chemistry
Chemistry refers to the type of chemical reactions taking place within the battery. Different chemistries have different advantages and disadvantages. For example, lithium-ion batteries are known for their high energy density and long life, while alkaline batteries are cheaper but may not last as long.

Questions:
1. What does voltage mean in terms of batteries?
2. How is capacity measured in batteries?
3. What is the difference between lithium-ion and alkaline batteries?

Section 2: Choosing the Right Battery for Your Device

Topic 1: Device Power Consumption
Before choosing a battery, you need to know how much power your device consumes. This information is usually available in the device's user manual or specifications sheet. Once you know the power consumption, you can choose a battery with an appropriate capacity to meet your needs.

Topic 2: Device Compatibility
Not all batteries are compatible with all devices. Some devices have specific battery requirements, such as the type of terminals or voltage. Make sure to check your device's compatibility before purchasing a battery.

Topic 3: Battery Life
Battery life is another important factor to consider. You want a battery that will last as long as possible without needing to be recharged. However, this can vary depending on factors such as temperature, usage, and age.

Questions:
1. How do I find out how much power my device consumes?
2. Are all batteries compatible with all devices?
3. How can I tell which battery will last longer?

Section 3: Practical Examples

Let's say you have a remote control that uses two AAA batteries. The remote control consumes 0.5 watts of power when in use. You can use the formula P = IV to calculate the power consumption, where P is power, I is current, and V is voltage. Assuming a voltage of 1.5 volts, the current would be 0.5 watts / 1.5 volts = 0.33 amperes.

Now let's compare two different types of batteries: lithium-ion and alkaline. Lithium-ion batteries typically have higher capacities and longer lifetimes than alkaline batteries. However, they may also be more expensive. In this case, a lithium-ion battery would be a better choice due to its higher capacity and longer life.

Conclusion:
Choosing the right battery for your device is essential for optimal performance and longevity. By understanding battery specifications, compatibility, and power consumption, you can make an informed decision on which battery is best for your needs. Remember to always consider the practical examples and applications when choosing a battery.

Glossary:
- Voltage: Measurement of electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit.
- Capacity: Measurement of the amount of energy a battery can store.
- Chemistry: Type of chemical reaction occurring within the battery.
- Power consumption: Amount of energy used by a device over time.
- Compatibility: Ability of a battery to work with a specific device.
- Battery life: Length of time a battery can power a device before needing to be recharged.


text: Meet Again Tomatin 18 years Whisky. I had tasted a Tomatin 18 years old whisky in couple of years ago. It was indeed a good whisky, detailing and balancing. Recently I have got a sample of the current bottling. It is a good opportunity to compare any differences between them.. Tomatin 18 years, 700 ml, 46%. Nose: Honey, dried date, toffee, licorice, freshly break bread, cinnamon. Palate: Citrus, preserved berries, black chocolate, toasted wood, toast. Aftertaste: Long, toasted wood, coffee ground, mint. Comment: Quite sweet aroma, candies and dried fruit, good to have some spices to balance, lovely baking aroma. Rich and full in mouth, citrus like sour, followed by toasty favours. Long aftertaste, woody and toasty, chewing. Comparing to my previous tasted sample, their favours are quite different, this one more spicy and “ordinary" Sherry cask favours. Notwithstanding that the differences, both Tomatin 18 are detailing and balancing, good whiskies.. P.S. May not the whisky itself changes, perhaps the people change.

Lesson: Introduction to Whisky Tasting

## Section 1: Theory

Whisky is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash, typically containing around 40-50% alcohol by volume. There are several types of whisky, including Scotch, Irish, American, and Japanese whiskies, each with their own unique flavors and production methods. In this lesson, we will focus on the process of tasting whisky and analyzing its flavors.

## Section 2: Practice

To begin, let's taste a sample of whisky. Take a small sip and hold it in your mouth for a moment before swallowing. As you swallow, pay attention to the flavors and aromas you detect.

1. What are the initial flavors and aromas you notice?
2. Are there any specific notes that stand out?
3. How does the whisky feel in your mouth? Is it smooth or rough?

Once you have swallowed the whisky, take note of any lingering flavors or sensations.

4. Are there any aftertastes or after-aromas?
5. Does the whisky leave a residue on your palate or tongue?

Now, let's analyze the flavors and aromas in more detail.

1. What type of whisky do you think this is? (e.g., Scottish, Irish, American, etc.)
2. Are there any specific flavors or aromas that suggest its origin?
3. How would you describe the overall flavor profile? (e.g., sweet, smoky, fruity, etc.)

Finally, let's consider the age statement on the whisky. An age statement indicates the number of years the whisky has spent aging in oak barrels. In general, older whiskies tend to be more expensive and have more complex flavors.

1. What is the age statement on this whisky?
2. Do you think the age statement affects the flavor profile? Why or why not?
3. Would you be willing to pay more for an older whisky? Why or why not?

## Section 3: Practice Application

Now that we have analyzed the flavors and aromas of this particular whisky, let's consider how these skills could be applied to other whiskies.

1. Imagine you are tasting a different type of whisky (e.g., bourbon, rye, single malt). How would you approach the tasting process differently?
2. Are there any specific flavors or aromas that are common to all types of whisky? If so, which ones?
3. How could you use the skills you have learned to identify and describe the flavors and aromas in a new whisky?

## Glossary
- Whisky: A type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash
- Flavor profile: The overall taste and aroma of a food or drink
- Age statement: The number of years a whisky has spent aging in oak barrels

## Conclusion
In conclusion, tasting whisky involves analyzing the flavors and aromas present in the beverage. By paying attention to initial impressions, aftertastes, and overall flavor profiles, we can gain a deeper understanding of the whisky's characteristics and origin. These skills can be applied to other types of whiskies as well, helping us to identify and describe the flavors and aromas in a variety of spirits.

Nanga was an interesting and different choice for our 2018-19 school construction project. The actual village itself is small, but it is in an area where there are many fishing communities (Bozo) close by, in addition to the nomadic cattle-herders (Peul). Thus, the school will draw children from beyond the actual village. Initially, when we were in the planning stages of the school, after a number of meetings, we made the decision that this school would give many children access to school who would otherwise not have the opportunity. The Nanga school is a 3-room cement school. We also built latrines, both for boys and girls, at the site as a follow-up in 2019.. The project was finished in early 2019, and will educate roughly 110 children ages 6–12 years.

Topic 3: Support for Small Businesses
Small businesses often depend on movie theatres for revenue. From restaurants to shops, many businesses benefit from the foot traffic generated by movie theatres. By reopening theatres, we can support small businesses and help them recover from the economic impact of the pandemic.

Section 3: Conclusion
In conclusion, reopening movie theatres is essential for the economy, culture, and filmmakers. It also benefits communities by creating jobs, bringing people together, and supporting small businesses. We should celebrate the reopening of theatres and look forward to enjoying movies in a theatre setting once again.

Glossary:

Lesson: Introduction to Computer Networks

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

A computer network is a collection of devices connected together to communicate and share resources. Devices on a network can include computers, printers, servers, and other hardware components. Networks can be categorized into two types: Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). LANs are typically smaller networks that connect devices within a single building or campus, while WANs are larger networks that connect devices across long distances, such as between different cities or countries.

## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

One common use of computer networks is file sharing. By connecting multiple devices to a network, users can easily transfer files between devices without physically transferring them via USB drives or email attachments. Another example is online gaming, where players can compete against each other over the internet. Online shopping is also possible through e-commerce websites that use secure networks to process payments and deliver products to customers.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

What are some advantages and disadvantages of using computer networks? Advantages include increased productivity, improved communication, and easier access to resources. Disadvantages include security risks, potential downtime, and the cost of implementing and maintaining a network.
