Before ubiquitous frozen yogurt, before the Internet everywhere all the time, before my crazy new puppy, I knew how to do this.

Eat an apple. Mindfully.

Eat an apple. One bite at a time. Chew slowly. Put it down between bites. Think about where it came from, who grew it, how it got to my table, why it’s going in my mouth. The color, the texture, the scent. Am I still hungry? Yes. Then repeat.

Still, I devour that frigging apple as I listen to Fresh Air on NPR and update my Facebook status and…where the hell is my dog?

My apple frenzy is writer Michael Pollan’s fault. In his book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Pollan turned mindful eating into an extreme sport by preparing a meal consisting of food he had hunted, grown, or gathered. In a recent interview in New York magazine, Pollan, famous for telling us to “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants,” suggested that we consider eating an apple whenever we think we are hungry. If we’re not willing to go to the trouble of eating an apple, then we’re probably not hungry. If we are, hey: we ate an apple.

It seemed like a good idea. I didn’t want to go on another diet. I felt heavy. I wanted to be lighter. I longed to reconnect with the part of me that does only one thing at a time. That knows exactly when she is hungry and when she is full. That savors a firm Fuji apple from Washington State. A spicy Macoun from Massachusetts. Or a festive-sounding Gala all the way from Chile.

But there I go, mid-apple: checking the Internet. It’s research—I’m looking for a Michael Pollan quote. Oh. Look. Michael Pollan has a cute tweet about a dog eating his latest book. And the picture of the ruined book? It’s on Instagram.

And my mind abandons the apple and fills with thoughts of junk food…

I think: I have meditated with famous people. When I first learned yoga, it wasn’t even cool yet; Madonna was still in bustiers. Why can’t I do this?

And the apple is gone and I haven’t even tasted it.

Then I started reading The Yoga of Eating by activist Charles Eisenstein. There are yoga exercises in his book, but it is as political as it is spiritual. He has great confidence that if we just listen to our bodies (a familiar phrase in mindful eating books), we will start feeding ourselves what we really need.

According to Eisenstein, many of us have responded to our frenetic, alienated culture with disordered eating. A woman in a bad relationship and a crummy job reaches for comfort, and finds it in fast food.

Her response isn’t optimal. But Eisenstein believes that we are all doing the best we can with what we’ve got. He says: “The proper attitude toward one’s self, with all its folly, all its selfishness and hurting of others, is one of pity, compassion, and understanding.”

And after I read that, something eased open inside of me.

My apple isn’t just an apple.

It’s longing. It’s nostalgia.

I miss the person with the orderly yoga practice, with the consistent meditation sitting. The person who was content to eat 10 organic corn chips in a small white bowl and…stop. Who sometimes could imagine the orchard the Fuji apple came from. I miss her. But she is gone.

Now, sometimes I eat the apple in quiet contemplation. And other times, I have the dog’s leash in one hand, the apple in the other, and This American Life on the radio.

And it’s enough. Well, almost. I’ve also lost three and a half pounds. Could be the apples. Could be the mindfulness. Could also be the new puppy, who is a profoundly attentive eater, not to mention an energetic walker.

This is me now. Fragmented. And whole.

Lesson: Mindful Eating

Introduction:
Mindful eating is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the process of eating. It involves paying attention to the taste, smell, texture, and appearance of food while savoring each bite. This lesson will teach you how to eat an apple mindfully, which can help you develop a more conscious relationship with food.

Section 1: Understanding Mindful Eating

**Theory:** Mindful eating is a way of eating that allows you to enjoy your food more fully by being present in the moment. It helps you appreciate the sensory experience of eating, as well as the journey your food took to get to your plate.

**Practice:** Try eating an apple mindfully by following these steps:
1. Find an apple that appeals to your senses (color, texture, and scent).
2. Cut the apple into bite-sized pieces.
3. Take the first bite and chew it slowly, paying attention to the taste and texture.
4. Put the apple down between bites and take a moment to appreciate the flavor and texture.
5. Repeat until the apple is gone.

Section 2: Applying Mindful Eating in Everyday Life

**Theory:** Mindful eating can be applied to any food. To incorporate mindful eating into your everyday life, try these tips:

1. Choose foods that appeal to your senses.
2. Cut your food into bite-sized pieces.
3. Chew each bite slowly and thoroughly.
4. Put your fork down between bites and take a moment to appreciate the flavor and texture.
5. Avoid distractions such as TV, phone, or computer while eating.

**Practice:** Try applying mindful eating to other foods by following the same steps used for the apple. For example, try eating a sandwich or a bowl of soup mindfully.

Section 3: Benefits of Mindful Eating

**Theory:** Mindful eating has several benefits, including:

1. Improved digestion: Eating slowly and thoroughly allows your body to better process the food.
2. Increased enjoyment: Paying attention to the sensory experience of eating can make it more enjoyable.
3. Reduced overeating: When you are fully present during meals, you are less likely to overeat.
4. Enhanced connection to food: Mindful eating can help you appreciate the journey your food took to get to your plate, fostering a deeper connection to your food.

**Practice:** Reflect on how mindful eating has impacted your relationship with food. Have you enjoyed your food more? Have you noticed a difference in your digestion or appetite?

Conclusion:

In conclusion, mindful eating is a valuable skill that can enhance your relationship with food. By being present and fully engaged in the process of eating, you can appreciate the sensory experience of food and develop a deeper connection to it. By applying the principles of mindful eating to everyday meals, you can improve your digestion, increase your enjoyment of food, and reduce overeating.

Lesson: Introduction to Non-Formal Education

### Section 1: What is Non-Formal Education?
Non-formal education is a type of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom setting. It is designed to meet the needs of people who are not in regular contact with the education system, such as adults, out-of-school youth, and people with disabilities. Non-formal education can take many forms, including workshops, seminars, conferences, and online courses.

### Section 2: Why is Non-Formal Education Important?
Non-formal education is important because it provides opportunities for people to learn new skills and knowledge that may not be available through formal education. It also helps to bridge the gap between formal and informal learning, and can provide a platform for people to engage in lifelong learning. Non-formal education is particularly important for marginalized groups, such as women, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities, who may not have had access to formal education.

### Section 3: How does Non-Formal Education Work?
Non-formal education works by providing opportunities for people to learn in a flexible and adaptable way. It is often tailored to the needs of the individual learner, and can be delivered in a variety of settings, such as community centers, libraries, or online. Non-formal education can be delivered by trained educators or volunteers, and can include a range of activities, such as group discussions, hands-on projects, and interactive games.

### Section 4: Examples of Non-Formal Education
Examples of non-formal education include adult literacy programs, vocational training, and community education programs. These types of programs can be found in many countries around the world, and are designed to help people acquire new skills and knowledge that can improve their lives and the lives of their communities.

### Section 5: Conclusion
Non-formal education is an important tool for promoting education and development, particularly for marginalized groups. By providing flexible and adaptable learning opportunities, non-formal education can help people acquire new skills and knowledge that can improve their lives and the lives of their communities. Whether you are an adult looking to improve your literacy skills, a young person interested in learning a trade, or a community leader looking to improve the education opportunities in your area, non-formal education can provide a valuable opportunity to learn and grow.

Lesson: Understanding Crime and Criminal Justice

Introduction:
Crime is an act that breaks the law and harms individuals or society. Criminal justice refers to the system by which crimes are investigated, prosecuted, and punished. In this lesson, we will learn about different types of crime, the criminal justice system, and how to analyze and interpret crime data.

Section 1: Types of Crime

Topic 1: Residential Burglary
Residential burglary is when someone enters a home without permission and takes property. This type of crime can result in physical harm to the victims and emotional distress.

Topic 2: Commercial Burglary
Commercial burglary is when someone enters a business without permission and takes property. This type of crime can result in financial loss for the business and damage to its reputation.

Topic 3: Theft
Theft is when someone takes property that does not belong to them. This can include stealing from a store or taking someone's personal belongings.

Section 2: The Criminal Justice System

The criminal justice system is made up of several parts, including law enforcement, the courts, and corrections. Law enforcement officers investigate crimes and make arrests. The courts decide if someone is guilty of a crime and what punishment they should receive. Corrections officers manage offenders in prisons or jails.

Section 3: Analyzing Crime Data

Crime data can be used to understand patterns and trends in criminal activity. However, it is important to carefully analyze this data to ensure that conclusions are accurate and fair.

Topic 1: Understanding Crime Rates
Crime rates are often reported as the number of crimes per 100,000 people. This allows us to compare crime rates across different cities or regions.

Topic 2: Interpreting Crime Data
Crime data can be used to identify areas where crime is more common and to target resources to those areas. However, it is important to consider other factors that may affect crime rates, such as poverty or unemployment.

Conclusion:
Understanding crime and the criminal justice system is important for all citizens. By analyzing crime data, we can identify patterns and trends that can help us prevent and reduce crime. By understanding the different parts of the criminal justice system, we can hold officials accountable and ensure that justice is served. By learning about different types of crime, we can better protect ourselves and our communities.

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of finding the right people for your business. We will explore the concept of "the right fit" and how it can contribute to the success of an organization. We will also discuss the role of levers in physics and how they can be applied to the process of finding the right people.
Section 1: Understanding the Concept of "The Right Fit"
Topic: What is "the right fit" and why is it important?
Question: What is the difference between hiring someone who is a good fit for your company culture and hiring someone who has the necessary skills but doesn't fit in with the rest of the team?
Answer: Hiring someone who is a good fit for your company culture can lead to higher job satisfaction, better teamwork, and increased productivity. It can also help prevent conflicts and misunderstandings that can arise when someone doesn't fit in with the rest of the team.
Topic: How can you determine if someone is a good fit for your company culture?
Question: How can you tell if someone is a good cultural fit for your company?
Answer: You can determine if someone is a good fit for your company culture by assessing their values, beliefs, and behaviors during the interview process. This can be done by asking them questions about their work style, communication preferences, and experiences working in a team environment.
Section 2: Applying Physics Concepts to the Process of Finding the Right People
Topic: What is a lever and how does it work?
Question: What is a lever and how does it work?
Answer: A lever is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar or beam that pivots around a fixed point called a fulcrum. It works by changing the direction or magnitude of a force applied to it, allowing us to lift or move heavy objects more easily.
Topic: How can the concept of levers be applied to finding the right people for your business?
Question: How can the concept of levers be applied to finding the right people for your business?

Lesson: Accounting Principles

Introduction:
Accounting is the process of recording, summarizing, and reporting financial transactions of a business. It helps businesses make informed decisions and track their progress. In this lesson, we will learn about the five basic accounting principles that guide the practice of accounting.

Section 1: The Five Basic Accounting Principles
1. Principle of Regularity - This principle states that accounting records must be kept continuously and consistently. It means that you should record all your financial transactions, whether big or small, and do so regularly and consistently.

2. Principle of Consistency - This principle states that once you have chosen an accounting method, you should stick with it. Consistency ensures that your financial statements are accurate and reliable.

3. Principle of Prudence - This principle states that you should be cautious when making estimates and assumptions. You should not overstate your income or assets or understate your expenses or liabilities.

4. Principle of Matching - This principle states that revenues and expenses should be matched in the period in which they are earned or incurred. For example, if you receive revenue in advance, you should not record it as income until you have earned it.

5. Principle of Disclosure - This principle states that you should disclose all material facts that could affect the reader's understanding of your financial statements. For example, if you have a lawsuit against your company, you should disclose it in your financial statements.

Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's say you own a small bakery. You sell bread for $5 per loaf. One day, you give a customer a free loaf of bread because they were your 1000th customer. How do you account for this transaction?

Answer: Since giving away the free loaf of bread does not affect your revenue or expenses, you do not need to record it in your books. However, if you want to track how many customers you have served, you can create a separate account called "Customer Count" and record the transaction there.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
1. Why is the principle of prudence important in accounting?
Answer: The principle of prudence is important because it ensures that financial statements are accurate and reliable. By being cautious when making estimates and assumptions, you avoid overstating your income or assets or understating your expenses or liabilities.

2. What is the difference between cash basis and accrual basis accounting?
Answer: Cash basis accounting records transactions when cash changes hands, while accrual basis accounting records transactions when they are earned or incurred. Accrual basis accounting provides a more accurate picture of a company's financial health because it records revenues and expenses as they are earned or incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, accounting principles are guidelines that ensure the accuracy and reliability of financial statements. By following these principles, you can make informed decisions and track your progress. Remember to be consistent, cautious, and disclose all material facts.

Lesson: Understanding Historical Documents

Introduction:
Historical documents are essential sources of information about the past. They provide insights into the events, people, and ideas that shaped our world. However, understanding historical documents can be challenging due to their language, context, and purpose. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze historical documents to understand their meaning and significance.

Section 1: Analyzing Historical Documents

Topic 1: Language and Context
- Historical documents often use language that is unfamiliar or outdated.
- Context is crucial for understanding the meaning of historical documents.
- Consider the author's intended audience, purpose, and historical context when interpreting a document.

Activity:
- Read the following excerpt from a letter written by Robert E. Lee in 1866.
- Identify any unfamiliar language or phrasing.
- Based on the context, what do you think Lee's intended audience and purpose were?

"Lexington, Va., 15 Dec. 1866. Sir:1. Although your letter of the 4th ult. has been before me some days unanswered, I hope you will not attribute it to neglect or forgetfulness. I have been prevented from replying sooner by the pressure of other duties and the necessity of preparing for the approaching meeting of the Board of Trustees of Washington College.2. I am glad to learn that your health is improved, and trust that you will soon be able to resume your labors in behalf of the cause which you have so ably advocated in Europe.3. Although I do not agree with you in all things, either politically, socially, or religiously, I am glad to learn that your opinion of the present condition of affairs in the United States is more hopeful than mine.4. I still fear that the Northern people, under the influence of their extreme views, will resort to radical measures, and thus plunge the country into difficulties from which it will require long years to recover.5. I believe that the policy of the Government would be wiser if it would adhere to the Constitution as it is, and not attempt to make changes which time has shown to be impracticable, and which the present agitation of the public mind renders especially dangerous.6. I hope that you will continue to watch over the interests of our common country, and that your pen and your influence will never be used to promote the views of any party or faction, but always to uphold the Constitution and the Union, which alone can ensure peace and prosperity to both sections of our country.7. I am glad to learn that the present visit of Mr. Adams to England has been productive of good to his country, and I trust that his successors will follow in his footsteps, and thus contribute to the restoration of friendly relations between the two countries.8. Our College is progressing well, and I trust that the coming year will witness its completion and the commencement of its usefulness.9. I am glad to learn that you are still in favor of the South, and that you believe its institutions to be calculated to produce a higher type of civilization than that which prevails in the North.10. With my best wishes for your health and happiness, I remain, very truly yours,R. E. Lee."

Topic 2: Purpose and Perspective

This put us all at ease and she was able to capture some great candid shots which are our favorites. We were blown away by how many awesome photos Aleesha got, and she was so patient when walking us through for selection. There was no pressure to buy as many as we did but we had such a difficult time choosing. We won’t go anywhere else for our photography needs and cannot recommend her highly enough.. -Darren & Megan Rich, Downingtown, PA

text: Subject: [OMPI devel] Errmgr update. From: Ralph Castain (rhc_at_[hidden]). Date: 2010-04-23 00:51:49. Hi folks. Per the last telecon and some email threads, I have updated the errmgr framework to allow a greater range of response options and remove several loopback messages. See the commit message for more description of what was done:. Please note that I had to touch all the PLM modules to change their function call to report a failed launch. I'm pretty sure I got those changes right, but I cannot verify it for all environments. So please give it a try when you can and let me know if you encounter a problem.. I tested this change with both threaded and non-threaded OPAL configurations, and it worked just fine (including for comm_spawn). However, I would not claim that the testing was exhaustive, and it obviously only covered a couple of environments (ssh and slurm). So again, give it a try and let me know if you encounter a problem.. Thanks. Ralph

Lesson: Introduction to Version Control Systems

## Section 1: What is a Version Control System?
A version control system (VCS) is a software tool that helps developers track changes to source code over time so that they can collaborate on code more effectively. It allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase without stepping on each other's toes, and it keeps a history of all changes so that developers can revert to previous versions if necessary.

## Section 2: Why Use a Version Control System?
There are several reasons why developers use version control systems:

1. Collaboration: Multiple developers can work on the same codebase without conflicts because each developer works on a separate branch.
2. History: A VCS keeps a record of all changes made to the code, so developers can see who made which changes and when.
3. Reverting: If something goes wrong, developers can revert to a previous version of the code.
4. Branching: Developers can create branches for new features or bug fixes without affecting the main codebase.

## Section 3: How does a Version Control System Work?
A VCS works by keeping a record of all changes to the codebase. When a developer makes a change to the code, the VCS creates a new snapshot of the code called a "commit." Each commit contains a list of changes made to the code, along with a timestamp and the name of the developer who made the changes.

The VCS also keeps track of which commits depend on which other commits. This means that if a developer wants to make changes to a file that has been modified since their last commit, they must first incorporate those changes into their own changes before they can commit their changes. This prevents conflicts and ensures that everyone is working off the same version of the code.

## Section 4: Examples of Version Control Systems
Some popular version control systems include Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. Git is a distributed VCS, which means that each developer has a complete copy of the code repository on their local machine. Mercurial and Subversion are centralized VCSs, which means that there is a single repository that all developers connect to.

## Section 5: Conclusion
Version control systems are an essential tool for developers who work on code collaboratively. They provide a way to track changes to the codebase, prevent conflicts, and ensure that everyone is working off the same version of the code. As you continue to learn about software development, you will find that version control systems are an indispensable part of the process.

[Clinical aspects of familial ovarian cancer - current status and issues in Japan].
Familial ovarian cancer occurs as part of two genetically distinct syndromes: hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). HBOC caused by inherited mutations of BRCA1/2 and HNPCC caused by mismatch-repair genes are considered responsible for about 65 to 75% and 10 to 15% of familial ovarian cancers, respectively. Germline mutations of BRCA1 are considered responsible for about 50% of ovarian cancer families and 80% of breast-ovarian cancer families. BRCA2 mutations are less common than BRCA1 mutations in ovarian cancer families. A high proportion of serous adenocarcinomas at an advanced stage has been reported with BRCA-related ovarian cancers in several studies. It is controversial whether BRCA-related ovarian cancer patients carry a better prognosis despite the aggressive tumor-pathological characteristics of their disease, compared to sporadic cases. However, a good therapeutic response may be attributable to platinum-based chemotherapy. Recently in Japan, gene testing of BRCA1/2 has been available as a routine clinical test for diagnosing ovarian cancer families. Because the mutation spectrum of BRCA1/2 in Japanese was different from that of non-Ashkenazi individuals, the clinical application of BRCA1/2 gene testing for Japanese has been advocated. Approximately 1-5% of ovarian cancer patients in Japan are thought to have a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. The prevalence of deleterious mutations of BRCA1/2 in Japanese was reportedly significantly higher than that of non-Ashkenazi individuals despite the low frequency of familial cases in Japan. Although the age at diagnosis of ovarian cancers with BRCA1/2 mutation in the United States was earlier than those of the sporadic cases, there were no differences among Japanese. These results suggest that clinical and genetic aspects of BRCA-related ovarian cancer of the Japanese are different from those of Caucasians. A serious issue in this field is how the results will lead to a basis for the clinical application of a cancer prevention strategy targeting BRCA mutation carriers in Japanese.

Lesson: Understanding Ovarian Cancer

Introduction:
Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that affects the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs. It is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. In this lesson, we will learn about the clinical aspects of familial ovarian cancer, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.

Section 1: Causes and Symptoms
- Familial ovarian cancer is caused by inherited mutations in certain genes, such as BRCA1/2 and mismatch-repair genes.
- Women with a family history of ovarian cancer are at a higher risk of developing the disease.
- There are often no symptoms in the early stages of ovarian cancer, which makes it difficult to detect.
- As the cancer progresses, symptoms may include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, and urinary problems.

Section 2: Diagnosis
- Diagnosing ovarian cancer involves a combination of physical exams, imaging tests, blood tests, and biopsies.
- A transvaginal ultrasound is often used to examine the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
- A CA-125 blood test measures the level of a protein that may be elevated in women with ovarian cancer.
- A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from the ovaries to examine under a microscope.

Section 3: Treatment
- Treatment options for ovarian cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy.
- Surgery may involve removing the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and nearby lymph nodes.
- Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.
- Radiation therapy uses X-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.
- Targeted therapy uses drugs that specifically target cancer cells without harming healthy cells.

Glossary:
- BRCA1/2: Genes that, when mutated, increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
- HBOC: Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
- HNPCC: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
- Germline mutations: Changes in DNA that are passed down from parent to child.
- Serous adenocarcinomas: A type of ovarian cancer that is more common in women with BRCA-related ovarian cancer.

Conclusion:
Understanding the clinical aspects of familial ovarian cancer is important for early detection and effective treatment. By learning about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, individuals can make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
