• Elementary Mathematics Annotated

  tags: mathematics editor

  • The material has been organized in
    such a way to create a single volume suitable for use in the unit
    MATH130 at Macquarie University. This unit is currently taught
    in two parallel strands. The following is the suggested order
    for the presentation of the material:

    • A: Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and
      9.
    • C: Chapters 2, 10, 11, 12, 13 and
      14.
  • The overall emphasis of this set of
    notes is on examples, of which there are many. The only way to
    study mathematics satisfactorily at this level is to study many
    examples and to attempt many exercises while going back regularly
    to the discussion in the notes for appropriate references.

• Max’s Musings – Buckets versus Pipelines Annotated

  • So how do you escape from the “time-for-money” trap? Simple. By building pipelines from ongoing, residual income. With residual income, you do the work once and get paid over and over again. That’s why one pipeline is worth a thousand paychecks. Pipelines keep pumping day after day, year after year, whether you’re there to do the work or not. Now, that’s freedom – true financial freedom! You can ‘pay a little now’ by investing some of your time and money to build your pipelines today, or you can ‘pay a lot later’ by struggling to survive on whatever is left in your savings account when you retire.

    Most people have it all wrong about time and wealth. Wealth is not the same as income. If you make a good income each year and spend it all on pleasure that takes up all your time, you are not getting wealthier. You are just living higher. Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.

    How do you become wealthy? Here, too, most people have it wrong. It is seldom luck or inheritance or advanced degrees or even intelligence that enables people to amass fortunes. Wealth is more the result of a lifestyle of hard work, perseverance, planning and most of all, self-discipline.

    In other words, buckets, no matter how big they are, will eventually dry up. Pipelines, on the other hand, are self-sustaining. But pipelines require a sacrifice. Pipelines don’t build themselves. You have to take the time and make the effort to build them. If you look upon your life as the supreme project, then it’s all about what you do at the front end. You all know that you have to get that right if you want to have a really successful project.

  • Some produce grow fine with only a minimal amount of pesticides and
    also may have fewer threats from pests. So you can still significantly
    reduce your exposure to artificial pesticides by buying a few choice
    organic items and the rest conventionally grown.

    Here’s a list of produce that you ought to purchase organic due
    to high levels of contamination: pears, apples, strawberries
    (most berries), nectarines, cherries, bell peppers, coffee, celery, lettuce,
    spinach, grapes, raisins, potatoes, and tomatoes.

• Clovis culture – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Annotated

  tags: no_tag

  • A recent hypothesis suggests that one or more extraterrestrial bodies caused the mass extinction and triggered a period of climatic cooling.^[9] This is known as the Clovis Comet or the Younger Dryas impact event and proposes that an extraterrestrial object such as a comet exploded in Earth’s atmosphere above North America’s Great Lakes region about 12,900 years ago,^[10] and significantly impacted the human Clovis culture. Research published in January 2009 argues that there was no extraterrestrial impact but fails to explain the high levels of metal and magnetic spherules found deep inside the tusks and skulls of mammoths.^[11] Additional evidence of comet impact is the widespread occurrence of microdiamonds and black mats in a layer of sedimentary rocks of that era,^[12] but is not reflected in the extinction record.

• The Battle Hymn of the Republic – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Annotated

  • Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:

    He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

    He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:

    His truth is marching on.

    (Chorus)

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    His truth is marching on.

    I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,

    They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;

    I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:

    His day is marching on.

    (Chorus)

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    His day is marching on.

    I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:

    “As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;

    Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,

    Since God is marching on.”

    (Chorus)

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Since God is marching on.

    He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

    He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:

    Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!

    Our God is marching on.

    (Chorus)

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Our God is marching on.

    In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

    With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:

    As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

    While God is marching on.

    (Chorus)

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    While God is marching on.

    He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,

    He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,

    So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,

    Our God is marching on.

    (Chorus)

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

    Our God is marching on.

• Guide for Merit Badge Counselors Annotated

  • Merit Badge Counselor Is …

    As a merit badge counselor, your mission is to join fun with learning. You are both a teacher and mentor to the Scout as he works on a merit badge and learns by doing. By presenting opportunities for growth via engaging activities like designing a Web page (Computers), performing an ollie and a wheelie (Snowboarding), or fabricating rope (Pioneering), you can pique a young man’s interest in the merit badge subject. Just think: Your hands-on involvement could inspire a Scout to develop a lifelong hobby, pursue a particular career, or become an independent, self-supporting adult.

    A Scout first expresses an interest in a particular merit badge by letting his unit leader know. To get him started, the leader may give him a signed Application for Merit Badge (blue card) along with the name and telephone number of a district/council approved merit badge counselor. The Scout then contacts the merit badge counselor and makes an appointment. The merit badge counselor sets a date and time to meet with the Scout and his buddy, and may suggest the Scout bring the merit badge pamphlet along with the blue card.

  • At the first meeting, the Scout and his merit badge counselor review and start working on the requirements. In some cases, the Scout may share with the merit badge counselor the work he has started or accomplished. As the merit badge counselor, you and the Scout work out a tentative schedule for completing the requirements. You should consider both short-term and long-term goals, keeping other obligations (school, Scouting, sports, and so on) in mind, and set dates, times, and a location for future meetings. The number of meetings will depend on the difficulty of the requirements and the preparation and ability of the Scout.
  • Your duty is to be satisfied that each Scout who comes to you meets all the requirements for the merit badge you are coaching. You do this by helping Scouts overcome the different hurdles of the requirements and making them aware of the deeper aspects of the subject through their learning experience. You may tell about your own experiences to help positively reinforce the subject matter. However, you may not tack on new requirements or extra work. While you may guide and instruct a Scout on the subject matter, he must do the work himself.
