User:Tristanrasmussen

My name is Tristan Rasmussen

I am currently enrolled at the Art Institute of Seattle and taking the Industrial Design Technology course. My career goal is to become an Automotive designer so I can design one of the things I love most. I've liked cars since I was younger and found this to be my best course of action. I hopefully one day will be able to design automobiles for companies like Porsche or B.M.W. for those are some of my favorite automobile manufacturers.

Some of my favorite things in life are cars, music, and learning new things. I eat, sleep, and breath cars and always try to learn everything about them that I can. I love to drive different cars and learn how they react to the environment around them, if anything has to do with cars you could say that I'm there.

Music is another important part of my life. I do my best to collect it frequently and try not to be so close-minded about what I listen to as much as I used to. I generally listen to genres ranging from good ol' rock and roll to metal and hardcore to classical. I find that all these genres have parts of them that make them very unique, which is why I collect it so much.

I would say one of the top goals in my life is to keep on learning. Learning things is always good no matter how trivial the information might be, you never know when you can use it. Learning the things I have learned have definitely helped me in discussions and arguments for I knew as much or more as the people I was with, there's just nothing wrong with learning new things.

My name is Tristan Rasmussen and this who I am.

Self Reflection
Through this class I have learned a few things that I need to work on. One of the most important things is that I have the real bad habit of procrastination that i really need to work on. I am usually able to get the work done and get a good grade, but I always end up stressing out and almost not getting the things done because I am sometimes unable to focus. I believe that if I start earlier and give myself a little more time to work on my assignments, then I'd be ab;e to relax more and be able to just improve upon my essay for a day or so to make it even better. I thankfully am getting a little better at giving myself more time to work on things, but i know that I still have a long way to go before I can actually make a habit of starting my work earlier instead of pushing myself to do it. I also learned that I need to choose better subjects to work on. A subject you choose one day, might not sound so good a few weeks later. Choosing a subject you have enthusiasm for definitely would help to get work done faster instead of just going along at a snail's pace.

The Web Changes Everything
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

Topics

 * The 'Internet Changes Everything' is another phrase circulated by another global IT entity some time ago during the beginning of the web era.
 * In the real world there is a gap between the Have and Have-Nots. In the virtual world it is the Know and Know-Not. This digital divide still reflects a bias in favour of the west and developed nations versus the emerging economies. So what really changed?
 * Poorer nations are still consumers, whereas richer nations are the chief producers of information, content and applications.
 * Alvin Toffler regards new wealth as been created from nowhere (cyberspace) and noted that its done through prosuming.

Discussion

 * Who is the IT entity that coined such a slogan and why?
 * What has changed and what has not?
 * How does it change the software industry?
 * Are emerging economies using the web to become info-producers and thriving on it?
 * This course is an example of prosuming where the students help create this course as it goes along. Discuss what advantages this novelty has over conventional courses. Do you agree with such a concept for yourself as a student?

Activities

 * Publish your works in an attractive manner in your user page, stating your own views and findings providing links to your sources. Use the talk page here to score marks.
 * Create or edit sub-pages of course materials within wikiversity.
 * Discuss in the forum (link shall be provided) by offering your ideas and answering or comment on others' postings.

Talk:ERP Project Implementation

IMO, ERP implementation is done mostly through the following phases -it has to follow at least a simple methodology:
 * 1) Extracting client's business processes:  this yeilds every detail needed throughout the next stpes, e.g. workflows.
 * 2) Gap analysis:  which spots those points in software which need to be customised and those business processes which need to be developed from scratch (in case they don't already exist).
 * 3) Customisation/Development and partial deployments:  at several points in this phase when the team has done notable amount of customisation/development, the new features should be deployed in client's site just to be tested in real world and capture client's opinions.
 * 4) Deployment: the name is self descriptive.

In this document, the focus should be on phase (3) as it correctly is however I'd suggest there should be some material regarding the other phases put in.

--Bahman 06:12, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * You must be right Bahman, cos i mislabeled this module and end up writing about case studies or how its implemented in verticals. The module that handles implementation is now more spread out to under Projects and Apprenticeship. Thanks - Red1 22:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Enterprise Resource Planning/Open Source/Executive Diploma

I remember when I was involved in ERP implementation for the 1st time. I knew little of business processes/terms/concepts and mostly couldn't understand what others were talking about. It took me a long time and tons of tea to figure out, through scattered discussions, explanations here and there, searching the web and playing with ADempiere, what goes on in common business. So, although I was technically qualified I had real difficult times :-)

I wonder is it possible that someone like me in those days attend the diploma programme -good techie that doesn't understand the suits?! If positive, again is it possible to make the lazy learning curve more steep?

The Attention Economy
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

Topics

 * As the Web explodes with endless content, the human user has only limited time and attention onto a single window at a time. Even when freely accessing the web, the user can only afford to go from one site to one site but not all at once.
 * Many websites or content does not get accessed or popular just because they exist and are easily accessible. The surfers are easily dominated by sticky or popular sites that competes in the Attention Economy.

Discussion

 * What does the term Attention Poverty means?
 * What are the top sites that dominates the most users?
 * Why do users visit them?
 * How can those sites push more value to a user's limited attention?
 * How would new sites or startups compete for such users' attention?

Activities

 * Publish your works in an attractive manner in your user page, stating your own views and findings providing links to your sources. Use the talk page here to score marks.
 * Create or edit sub-pages of course materials within wikiversity.
 * Discuss in the forum (link shall be provided) by offering your ideas and answering or comment on others' postings.

Traffic Is King
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

Topics

 * Traffic brings alot of prospective consumers or users. In traditional business shops, traffic is desired and much advertising or attraction is used to pull in the crowds.
 * In the Web it seems that a good strategy or spike can make that happen almost overnight. Hotmail was the first global free email that began to dominate most of the users in the world. It created lots of traffic to its www.hotmail.com site. Other successful traffic pullers were Netscape and Yahoo!.
 * As traffic becomes so important, spam-like conditions occurs and having your site stated in every email or other site only dilutes and clutters attention.

Discussion

 * Were these dotcoms the first in their field?
 * What were the important strategy or features they possess in order to succeed?
 * Why did they die out?
 * How did those who took their place strategise? Were new tactics used?
 * How to ensure we get the right traffic? Give examples of dotcoms and their strategy of getting to the right audience.

Activities

The Web Economy/05

Content Is King
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

Topics

 * There are some sites that attracts alot of traffic due to its content . They may not be the first movers, but they are visited for their content and soon become tops such as wikipedia.
 * Possessing knowledge makes one king. It is the Knowledge economy. Those who does not know cannot really possess content.
 * There are those that generate content through networking or a viral community.
 * Huge content pools may not appeal to most people. But they possesss a long tail such as in the case of Amazon.com.
 * Many are copycats of others' contents. They do not produce or solicit responses and so end up at the bottom of the well.

Discussion

 * Name a site that uses content to attract you.
 * How does the site makes you return again?
 * Compare and differentiate between such a site with another site that you often visit.
 * More and more sites know about the content game. Are there anything new they must do to be better at it?

The Web Economy/06

Community Is King
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Masters course conducted by a private university.

Topics

 * Compiere enjoyed a growing community in 2003 that puts them as a defacto leader in Open Source ERP space. But in 2006 they received external funding about USD6 million and began to close up their source and alienate their community of users. The community forked as another project called ADempiere and I was nominated as its leader . I learnt many things since then especially the rule that Community is King.
 * Even though Yahoo! was the first-mover in the search engine territory, today it is taken over and threatened by Google. But when Google took in funds and go public, it suffers problems that often affect large commercial giants.
 * Open Source is now used to gain popularity and hold on a community. It seems to be a marketing ploy to gain following and then close off like a wolf shedding its sheep's clothing to rake in easy profits. Good example is Mambo that forked to Joomla, besides the Compiere/ADempiere later case.
 * With such high growth and fast saturation of many fads, the Internet still offers blue oceans for new ideas that are real and possess leadership for the world.

Discussion
After some research, have a discussion on the following, safe as sub-page and link it under Student Notes.
 * Why do you think Google can easily beat Yahoo!?
 * What did Google did that Yahoo! did not?
 * Do you think there will be another dotcom that can beat Google in future?
 * Why is Google losing trust after it went public and commercialised?
 * Why does Mambo's community fork to form Joomla? Also ADempiere.
 * What does the majority of the community wants out of a dotcom or site?
 * Who is actually King, the site product or the community?
 * Discuss the last statement in the topics above.

Forums and Blogs
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

 * Blogs or social sites activity can segregate online activity into a more focused and personalised structure.
 * However social sites also allow segregation where certain members kept to their own culture and norm without interfacing with anyone else.
 * Just like in olden days, the marketplace or town hall is where people congregate and important decisions made, today it is happening in forums and blogs.
 * Linux was created when its creator Linus Torvalds submitted to a mailing list his first code contributions. Forums began to spread the word in a viral manner.

 * There is a website that offers Second Life for you to build a complete virtual life in a virtual world that tries to be as real as the real world, and of course it failed.
 * It tries to get everyone into the same room and that is what Open Source does for software.
 * Today you can start creating a new virtual environment just be merely visiting and commenting on blogs or forums that can backlink to you. By having your name occuring more often in the web will get it showing up more in the search results. And that is all free. All it need is our time and passion.
 * Interest is built through conversation . That is the viral cause for you to keep returning with a passion.
 * As you build your own content and presence on the web, you are building your own virtual credit account. More people will come to know you and your interests and perhaps some small fortune in the not so distant future.
 * This carries alot of benefit such as increase in knowledge, networking and resources to depend on as well as market oppurtunities, all via the web.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cusa. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cusa~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Project Page about "open education"

I´d like to discuss the theme "open education", what do you think about open education, what are good possibilities for a good education and more things. If you are interested, we could discuss here.

What do you mean with open education? I think you are talking about self-study. If it is, I think self-teaching is the best way to learn something. Davichito 18:05, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Burns

Burn  Burn is a dry heat injury caused by the application of flame or heated solid substances to the body resulting coagulation necrosis of the tissues.

Scalds  Scald is a moist heat injury caused by the application of a liquid, at or near its boiling point or in its gaseous form (such as steam), to the body.

Causes of burn 1.	Dry heat burn – Partial & full thickness a.	Burn b.	Flame 2.	Moist heat burn – Partial thickness a.	Scald 3.	Chemical burn – Partial & full thickness a.	Acid b.	Alkali 4.	Cold injury – Partial thickness a.	Frost bite b.	Acute cold burn or Freezing 5.	Friction burn – Partial thickness 6.	Irradiation – Partial thickness 7.	Electric burn – Partial & full thickness

Classification of burns

A)	Modern 1.	Superficial burn  Epidermis fully affected, sometimes up to part of dermis. 2.	Deep burn  all layers are affected. B)	Wilson’s Classification 1.	First degree burn 2.	Second degree burn 3.	Third degree burn C)	Traditional 1.	Superficial partial thickness burn 2.	Deep partial thickness burn 3.	Full thickness burn

Classification of burn and characteristics:

Depth of burn	Characteristics	Cause First degree (Superficial)	Erythema Pain Absence of blisters	Sunburn

Second degree (Deep partial thickness)	Superficial or Deep Involve epidermis & dermis Blister Intact pain Red or mottled Flash burns Heals with scars Contact with hot liquids Fire

Third degree (Full Thickness)	Involve all skin layers Painless Dark and leathery Dry Fire Electricity or lightning Prolonged exposure to hot liquids/ objects

Management of Burn

A)	Immediate Pre-hospital Emergency Care •	Ensure rescuer safety first  If the rescuer is able to secure himself then he can save the victim •	Stop the burning process  STOP-DROP-ROLL is a good method of extinguishing fire burning on a person •	Removal of the victim from the source of burn •	Removal of clothing to reduce contact burn and further burning •	Ensure ABC – airway, breathing, circulation •	First Aid  COOL-COVER-CALL Immediate care of a burn injury should always include: •	Cooling all burns with tepid to cool water, regardless of degree. Continue flushing the area for up to 10 minutes.  Do not apply ice, ointments, butter or other “home remedies”.  •	Cover affected areas with a thin clean dry cotton cloth but no contact with the raw skin. •	Call for medical attention and hospitalize if burn is larger than the victim’s hand size, if the victim is a child or elderly person.

B)	Burn assessment in hospital •	Brief history •	Ensure ABCDE (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability limitation, Environmental exposure control) •	Ensure immediate opening of intravenous channels in different sites •	Assessment of extend of burn by – •	Rules of 9’s (Adult, children >10 yrs) •	Rules of 9’s – modified (Children <10 yrs) •	Rules of palm (Small burn & Infant) – Palm represents 1% •	The Lund and Browder chart – mostly in specialised burn care centre like DMCH burn unit or City Hospital •	Assessment of the depth of burn (Superficial partial to deep)

C)	General Management •	Send blood for grouping and Rh typing •	Relief of pain by IV morphine or pethidine or alternatives; avoid IM injections •	Fluid balance; ideally by plasma but in our country we usually use •	Ringer’s lactate solution •	Hartmann’s solution •	5% DNS or other fluid if above are unavailable. Formula  Parkland Formula: 4 X body weight in Kg X % of burn = volume in ml (additional to normal daily needs) Regimen •	1st day – ½ of the measured fluid in first 8 hrs                                                 ½ of the measured fluid in next 16 hrs •	2nd day – ½ of the measured fluid in next 24 hrs •	3rd day onward – Maintenance fluid + daily requirement on output. Fluid is given when – adult burn >15%, children >10%, infant >5% •	Blood transfusion when – adult burn >30% and children >25% •	Monitoring of urinary output, better to catheterize. It should be 0.5-1 ml per Kg body weight per hour. •	Prevention of infection by •	Inj TT •	Inj Penicillin 10 lac IU 6 hrly (after skin test) or •	Other suitable antibiotics •	High protein diet

D)	Local Management •	Open method (Superficial burn) •	Clean room with good ventilation •	Low humidity •	No dressing •	Local antiseptic cream (Nebanol) •	Closed Method (Deep burn) Dressing in three layers •	Innermost : antiseptic cream •	Middle : Gauze (lubricated) •	Outer : Absorbent wool •	In body surface of adult we use 1% Silver Sulphadiazine Cream (Silcream/Burnsil/Dermazin) •	In the face and in children we use neomycin+bacitracin+polymyxin B combination ointment (Nebanol plus ointment) •	Skin Grafting – in full thickness burn E)	Prevention of Contracture •	Keeping the affected part in the functional position •	Regular passive movement

Additional aspect 1.	Varieties in burn dressing a.	Around the world varieties of substances were used in burn like – honey, potato peel, egg etc. b.	Recent advances in medical science invent hydrocolloid dressing, permeable dressing, silicon sheet, duoderm, biological synthetic membranes or most effective amniotic membrane. 2.	Analgesia a.	Strong analgesics initially needed in severe burn in IV routes but do not use IM. b.	Subsequently oral analgesics can be given afterwards. 3.	Gastro protection a.	Gastro protective should be given to prevent stress ulceration in GI tract b.	We use H2 blockers (Neoceptin R/Neotack) or proton pump inhibitors (Losectil/Proceptin) 4.	Nutrition a.	Burn is a catabolic state so it needs extra protein rich diet like egg, milk, meat, fish, pulses etc. b.	In addition vitamin supplementation needed like B-complex, zinc and most importantly vitamin C c.	Fresh lemon are the best source of Vit. C which helps in rapid healing. d.	Calorie requirement 50-60 Kcal/kg/day 5.	Control of infection a.	Restrict the visitor as the victim is immuno-compromised (very difficult here in Bangladesh, patients attendances are not cooperative) b.	Cleanliness of the care taker of the patient is very important. 6.	Physiotherapy a.	It should be started on day 1 b.	It prevents the limbs from future bending or rigidity following post burn contracture.

Complications

1.	Immediate •	Compartment syndrome from circumferential burns (limb burns → limb ischaemia, thoracic burns → hypoxia from restrictive respiratory failure) •	prevent by urgent escharotomy

2.	Early •	Hyperkalaemia  (from cytolysis in large burns). Treat with insulin and dextrose. •	Acute renal failure  (combination of hypovolaemia, sepsis, tissue toxins). Prevent by aggressive early resuscitation, ensuring high GFR with fluid loading and diuretics, treat sepsis. •	Infection  (beware of Streptococcus). Treat established infection with systemic antibiotics. •	Stress ulceration  (Curling’s ulcer). Prevent with antacid, H2-blocker or proton pump inhibitor prophylaxis.

3.	Late •	Contractures. Figure: Hypertrophic Scar and Electric burn wound

User:Stevenarntson/Analytical Writing/Close reading

Today we'll talk about "close reading"--looking at a short text very intensely to try to get well beneath its surface, to look not only at its probable meanings, but also its possible meanings.

We'll discuss this translation of a haiku by Kobayashi Issa:

 * I wish you were here
 * To listen to my bitching
 * And enjoy this moon.

$$ \tilde{d}^{(e)}_2 = \overrightarrow{d}^{(e)}_{[1]} \cdot \overrightarrow{\tilde{j}} $$

$$ \tilde{d}^{(e)}_2 =(d^{(e)}_1 \overrightarrow{i} + d^{(e)}_2 \overrightarrow{j}) \cdot \overrightarrow{\tilde{j}} $$

$$ \tilde{d}^{(e)}_2 = d^{(e)}_1 (\overrightarrow{i} \cdot \overrightarrow{\tilde{j}}) + d^{(e)}_2(\overrightarrow{j} \cdot \overrightarrow{\tilde{j}}) $$

$$ \tilde{d}^{(e)}_2 = d^{(e)}_1 (-\sin \theta ^{(e)}) + d^{(e)}_2(\cos \theta^{(e)}) $$

Recall that $$m^{(e)} = \sin \theta ^{(e)}$$ and $$l^{(e)} = \cos \theta^{(e)}$$

$$ \tilde{d}^{(e)}_2 = d^{(e)}_1 (-m^{(e)}) + d^{(e)}_2(l^{(e)}) $$

$$ \tilde{d}^{(e)}_2 = \begin{bmatrix} -m^{(e)} & l^{(e)} \end{bmatrix} \begin{Bmatrix} d^{(e)}_1\\ d^{(e)}_2 \end{Bmatrix} $$

21.3 Matlab
The following Matlab code was used to find the global stiffness matrix, K, for case (a), as well as the eigenvectors and eigenvalues corresponding to the global stiffness matrix.

It gave the following results. K is the global stiffness matrix, V is the eigenvector matrix, and D is the eigenvalue matrix with the diagonals as the eigenvalues:

Note that the first 5 eigenvalues are zero eigenvalues. The first 5 columns are the eigenvectors that correspond to the zero eigenvalues.

Below are the graphs of the eigenvectors corresponding to the the 5 zero eigenvalues in order.

Quadrature of a NACA Airfoil

The area of any shape can be determined by using a collection of many small triangles. The triangles are defined by an arbitrary origin, O, and an infinitesimal length on the shape. Since the infinitesimal length and perpendicular distance from the origin to the surface are known, the infinitesimal area, dA, can be calculated. Figure ## shows this process for an airfoil.

 * $$ \bar{A}_{airfoil} = \bar{A}_{1} + \bar{A}_{2} = \bar{A}_{1} - \left|\bar{A}_{2}\right|$$

In this case, the upper surface yields a positive area and the lower surface yields a negative area due to the location of the origin and the nature of the right-hand rule for vectors. The total area of the airfoil is computed as a sum of all of the small areas for each length along the airfoil contour. Figure ## provides a more detailed picture of how each area is calculated. The example shown is for the lower surface, therefore the cross-product of the vectors $$\textstyle \vec{r}$$  and $$\textstyle \vec{PQ}$$ is negative. The negative cross-product leads to a negative area for the lower surface in this configuration.

 * $$\displaystyle d\vec{A} = \frac{1}{2}(\vec{r}\times\vec{PQ})$$

Problems with Trapezoidal Method of Quadrature
The process of dividing the area of a shape in to a series of small trapezoids may be an accurate way to determine the total area for some shapes in some configurations, but it is not a general solution. For example, Figure ## shows the area of an airfoil being divided into trapezoids horizontally. For this shape in this orientation, the result will not be very accurate due to the errors near the trailing edge. The thin trailing edge is not conducive to being split up in this manner. It is true that if the trapezoids were aligned vertically the result would more accurately represent the true area, but a more elegant and beautiful solution can be reached. Using the triangle method described above, a more accurate result for the area can be found regardless of the location of the origin or orientation of the airfoil.

Single Cell Airfoil

For a single cell airfoil the shear flow is constant.

 * $$\displaystyle q = q_{1} = q_{2} = q_{3}$$

The rate of twist, $$\theta$$, can be determined using the known lengths and thickness of each segment as well as the average area, $$\bar{A}$$, computed in Homework 3.

 * $$\displaystyle \theta = \frac{1}{2G\bar{A}}q\sum_{j = 1}^{3}{\frac{l_{j}}{t_{j}}}$$

 * $$\displaystyle \theta= \frac{1}{2G\bar{A}}q[\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}(b)}{t_{1}} + \frac{a}{t_{2}}+ \frac{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}{t_{3}}]$$

Substituting in the known values each segment length and thickness and the average area, the result for the twist angle can be found.

 * $$\displaystyle \theta= \frac{111.29 q}{G}$$

Now, the maximum shear stress, $$\displaystyle \tau_{max}$$, can be determined using the constant shear flow and minimum thickness of a segment.

 * $$\displaystyle \tau_{max} = \frac{q}{min[t_{1},t_{2},t_{3}]}$$

If $$\textstyle \tau_{max} = \tau_{allow}$$ (given), and since $$\textstyle q = \frac{T}{2\bar{A}}$$, the allowable torque can be written as

 * $$\displaystyle T_{allow} = 2\bar{A}\tau_{allow}min[t_{1},t_{2},t_{3}]$$

For a known value of $$\textstyle \tau_{allow}$$ equal to 100 GPa, $$\textstyle T_{allow}$$ can be determined.

 * $$\displaystyle T_{allow} = 2\bar{A}\tau_{allow}min[t_{1},t_{2},t_{3}] = 2(5.5708 m^{2})(10^{11} Pa)(0.008 m) = 8.913\times10^{9} N/m$$

Cultural Insight (Mexico City)
Mexico City (Ciudad de México), now CDMX, is the capital city of Mexico. It is the most important economic, industrial and cultural center in the country, and the most populous city with 8,918,653 inhabitants in 2018. Greater Mexico City (Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México) incorporates 58 adjacent municipalities of Mexico State and 1 municipality of the state of Hidalgo, according to the most recent definition agreed upon by the federal and state governments. In the last national census (2018) Greater Mexico City had a population of 21.2 million people, making it the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere and the third largest in the world by population.

Mexico City is located in the Valley of Mexico, also called the Valley of Anáhuac, a large valley in the high plateaus at the center of Mexico, at an altitude of 2,240 meters (7,349 ft). It was originally built by the Aztecs in 1325 on an island of Lake Texcoco. The city was almost completely destroyed in the siege of 1521, and was redesigned and rebuilt in the following years following the Spanish urban standards. In 1524 the municipality of Mexico City was established, known as La Nueva España then after Independence as Distrito Federal (Mexico Tenochtitlán), and as of 2016 it is officially known as Ciudad de México.

Cultural Insight (Comparison of school in the United States and Hispanophone nations)
In Spanish-speaking nations, high school students generally take more courses than American students. Usually, 10-12 courses complete a student's schedule in Hispanophone countries while only 6-7 courses complete that of an American student's. However, unlike the United States, students of Hispanophone countries can only choose their courses beginning in either the sophomore (10th grade) or junior (11th grade) years. Also, students in Hispanophone countries have fewer chances of extracurricular activities due to their schedules.

Example of a Spanish student's schedule:

-Spanish

-Catalán

-English

-Math

-History

-PE (Physical Education)

-Science

-Art

-Computer Science

-Music

Example of an American student's schedule:

-PE (Physical Education)

-Biology

-Spanish

-Geography

-Health

-English

-Geometry

Statement of Intent
The question is... Where is the money? The world has gone mad looking for jobs. People are getting fired, laid off and not getting the jobs they wanted which they fully qualified for. Lately all I hear is I need a job, why didn't I get the job and I'm so broke it's not even funny. Slowly I'm starting to see a change in the world. We have made it hard for the kids of the future. When they start looking for jobs the bar is set high. In the near future they must graduate high-school and college to work at a simple fast food place. Well I don't know that but I know you it's a battle to get a job. What has no jobs effected people? I want to interview people to get there point of view and the people who are struggling looking for a job. How has their life style change over the years and do they think it's going to get better. This whole it's hard to get a job effects me. How am I suppose to get one? Well i'm in the process of getting my bachelors and my grades are decent but is this all enough. I have had friends that succeeded through college and still looking for a job a year later. So what should we do to improve this problem? Is there a way to fix this kind of problem? Well the world struggles in different ways like world hunger and pollution. Maybe we deserve all of this we caused the hunger and pollution. We cut down the rainforest which made people starve and chopped all of it down now we have no jobs. I think it's a change reaction which we cause. Well maybe I'm just thinking this to myself. I want to do more research on people looking for jobs. I think it's something that a lot of people are dealing with or heading towards. Also for all those people who are not even thinking about it yet. I want those people to be aware of this.

Anticipated Problems

Week 6 Project Review
 Change my whole idea on this project. No longer writing about product design but the job rescission. As of now I know the structure of my paper. I have a better understanding on how to write this whole paper out. I am trying to extend my paper because I don’t think I can write six plus pages on one subject. At first I didn’t know that much about recession but people loosing their jobs. Now I have a better understanding why.

I Met With Steve
Had a good discussion with Steve. I know what options I should take to make this paper better than I thought. Gave me useful information like students pass work and the library. People homeless in Seattle. I know more of the structure of my paper and I hope to make a good written paper.

Before Or During Week 6

 * Homelessness project from a previous Analytical Writing class
 * Job search strategies. Seattle Public Library.
 * Poverty. Budget/housing/food etc.
 * How do I help others?

After Week 6
Turned my paper in a different direction. I changed my whole paper. I didn’t want to write about people losing their job and how it is hard to get a job. It is very depressing to think about. My new paper will be about tea. What made me write about tea is that people are unhealthy. When people get thirsty or need energy they tend to go for the sodas and energy drink. People can drink tea and get the same effect. So far I wrote my intro: Current research shows the consumption of tea benefits health and protects bodies from diseases; therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must review tea studies and then share the information with the public through public announcements. Tea is a beverage that has been consumed for centuries. It is the second most consumed drink in the world next to water. The miracle drink is still popular today but is getting over looked by the flashy energy drinks and bubbly soda on the shelves. Not many people know just by drinking a cup or two of tea a day can improve health so much. The FDA must review tea studies and educate the public with information about the importance of tea and how making the switch from coffee or soda to tea could increase their better health.” “How do we educate customers?

Abstract: Current research shows the consumption of tea benefits health and protects bodies from diseases; therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must review tea studies and then share the information with the public through public announcements. Tea is a beverage that has been consumed for centuries. It is the second most consumed drink in the world next to water. The miracle drink is still popular today but is getting over looked by the flashy energy drinks and bubbly soda on the shelves. Not many people know just by drinking a cup or two of tea a day can improve health so much. The FDA must review tea studies and educate the public with information about the importance of tea and how making the switch from coffee or soda to tea could increase their better health.” “How do we educate customers?

Thesis: Current research shows the consumption of tea benefits health and protects bodies from diseases; therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must review tea studies and then share the information with the public through public announcements. Tea is a beverage that has been consumed for centuries. It is the second most consumed drink in the world next to water. The miracle drink is still popular today but is getting over looked by the flashy energy drinks and bubbly soda on the shelves. Not many people know just by drinking a cup or two of tea a day can improve health so much. The FDA must review tea studies and educate the public with information about the importance of tea and how making the switch from coffee or soda to tea could increase their better health.” “How do we educate customers? “ (as cited in Lazaruss, 2006, 2).

History: The true history about how tea came to be is unknown but legend says that it started about 2860 B.C.E. by the mythical Chinese Emperor Shen Nung. Considered the father of traditional Chinese medicine, Shen Nung traveled throughout China testing hundreds of herds. On one trip while he was sitting under a tree boiling his afternoon water, a leaf feel into the pot and tea was born (Harris, 2007). Tea has influenced many cultures with tea from Chinese tea houses, Japanese tea ceremonies, and the expansion throughout the world (Harris, 2007). Russian tea tradition started in the early 17th century when the Chinese presented a chest of tea to Russia. The first shipment of tea to Canada took more than a year to arrive from Russia, imported by the Hudson Bay company in 1716 (Ramstead, 2007).

Type of Teas and Benefits: One thing to learn about tea is that there are many flavors that tea can come in but there is only one plant that grows the tremendous leaf: the camellia sinensis. The camellia sinensis plant is grown around the world in rainy tropical climates (Conway, 2009). Tea varieties are classified by the manner in which the leaves are processed after plucking (Berry, 2008). There is a flavor out there for anybody, in Canada, 74% who drink tea drink white, in China there are over 9000 varieties of tea (Ramstead, 2007). [Picture] Figure 2.Tea: DanTey showing green, white, black and red tea leaves. Note. From “Dan Tey Exotic Tea Blends,” 2004, www.dantey.com

Green: The number one flavor of tea is green tea and is also the most researched tea from black and white teas (Rubin, 2007). Green tea is the reason why tea is so popular; all of the health benefits have been attributed to green tea. Human clinical trials by Iman Hakim, a professor at the Arizona Cancer Center at the University of Arizona, suggest that compounds in green tea positively affect genes involved in cancer susceptibility and DNA repair, although not everyone will respond equally well (Rubin, 2007). Also drinking green tea has been shown to help with former or current smokers with diseases (Rubin, 2007). Green tea helps fight cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease, infection and impaired immune function (Anderson, 2009). Black: Another popular tea next to green is black tea. According to the Tea Association of the U.S.A., 82 percent of all tea consumed in 2007 was black (Anderson, 2009). Researchers say black tea is least beneficial, only because black is the least studied. It has most caffeine, around 40 milligrams (Anderson, 2009). Researchers focusing on green tea because of its antioxidant benefits are now reporting some interesting finding regarding black tea (Stu, 2009). Compounds contained in black tea do more than contribute to its dark color and strong flavor. They also seem to provide some health benefits that were originally attributed to green tea, for example reducing the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease (Stu, 2009).

White: Next to green and black tea, white is starting to become popular in the United States. “White tea is about 10 percent more effective than green,” says Milton Schiffenbauer, Ph.D., a microbiologist and professor at Pace University (as cited in Dohenys, 2004, 1). If you are trying to fight off infections and illness, sip white tea instead of green, suggests Schiffenbauer, more effective than green tea at inactivating viruses, bacteria and fungi (Doheny, 2004). White tea extract can actually destroy the organism that causes the disease (Doheny, 2004). Drinking two cups of white tea can boost health (Doheny, 2004).

Health Benefits: Tea is the most beneficial drink around the world. Tests show that tea can help cure multiple health problems that people face in life. Simply drinking a cup or two of tea a day is the perfect remedy for all those health complications. Tea has a great reputation with researchers because of how much the drink improved peoples’ lives. Researchers indicate that tea contains compounds called polyphenols- antioxidantes, the same polyphenols found in red wine (Mann, 2007). There are four primary polyphenols in green tea that are believed to increase longevity by boosting the immune system (Rabat, 2002). Researchers also believe that tea decreases the risk of certain cancers including bladder, stomach, liver and breast (Rabat, 2002). A recent study showed that drinkers of black and green (but not herbal) tea have higher bone density than non-tea drinkers. Tea- hot or cold, decaf or regular—contains fluoride, so compulsively drinking tea leads to toxic serum fluoride levels and painful bone condition (Siegfried, 2008). Although tea is said to be the healthiest of beverages, drinking tea is also said to block the body’s absorption or iron. Studies have shown that most Americans generally get most iron from their diet than needed; a daily cup or two of tea is unlikely to leads to low levels of iron (O’Conner, 2009). Drinking tea can be good for bodies but there can be some side effects with long time use. Having the public educated about tea, the people can know the true facts about tea and by informing the public they would know and be making the right choices for what to drink besides energy drinking and coffee that are all just side effects and have no benefits as tea does.

Tea v. Coffee and/or Soda: “People come to tea as an alternative to coffee, they like that it has caffeine but doesn’t slam you, and they’re looking for health benefits” says Bill Todd, owner of Todd & Holland Tea Merchants (as cited in Deardorffs, 2009, 2). Every day people are going in to Starbucks and picking up their favorite cup of coffee, for that up and awake feeling and great taste. But there are people who do not know that there is something better to buy with the same benefit of feeling awake and great taste without having the horrible downsides of drinking coffee and same goes with carbonated beverages. The after effects of tea verses coffee and soda is that when drinking coffee for example having an awake buzz but then eventually come down from the rush from the caffeine in the coffee. Tea on the other hand gives a smooth awake feeling and does not giving a crash afterwards. (Deardorff, 2009).

[Picture] Figure 1. Tea: You, Me and Tea showing caffeine per serving in teas and coffee. Note. “From You, Me and Tea,” 2010, www.youmeandtea.com/.../caffeine_chart.jpg

A Health Conscious Society: Tea is a great beverage to switch to, especially today. “As our society becomes more health conscious, tea is an option more and more consumer are choosing” (Ramstead, 2007). Tea is an ideal way to get that extra help for health. Our society today is becoming very health conscious and is still drinking coffee or soda, but there are also those who know that drinking tea is the best to drink next to water. By offering tea education to the public it can turn this society to a balance of health (Ramstead, 2007). Tea is all about health benefits, a long laundry list of them. Drinking tea can boost metabolism by speeding up the fat oxidation in the body, lowering cholesterol, fight aging, improve digestion, and treats aches, strengthens bones and relive menopausal symptoms (Rubin, 2007).“The most fascinating thing is to my knowledge, there is no other natural product known that has such diversified effects” says Hasan Mukktor vice chair of dermatology at the University of Wisconsin Madison (as cited in Rubins, 2007). Selling Teas at School “If tea proves to be good it might be good to switch the kids to tea” says Hakim professor at Arizona Cancer Center at University of Arizona (as cited in Rubins, 2007). Offering tea to students in school is a way for children to become educated early on a healthy way to fuel their bodies. Selling tea in school is a step that needs to be taken all around school districts in the country. School has been taking out the unhealthy food in the cafeteria and been replacing sodas in the vending machines with diet soda or water. A drink that should be added to the vending machines is tea. Students like to drink healthy and if tea is offered at school, people will start to choose tea over the other caffeinated drinks.

Bottled Teas (RTD): There are those situations where somebody cannot get a fresh cup of brewed tea. Stores are now selling bottle tea or know in the beverage industry as ready to drink (RTD). But there are some issues with Read to Drink (RTD). One issue is the amount of polythenals and antioxidant compared to fresh brewed teas are from 10 -100 times lower in RTD (How, 2009). There are lots of RTD teas that come close to the fresh brewed. Another problem that RTD teas can have is the sugar content. RTD has lots more than freshly brewed teas (How, 2009). So before buying that bottled tea, check the label for calories, grams of sugar, and other types of sweeteners.But as said Christopher founder of Sweet Leaf said, “There is enormous potential in the RTD beverage market and unlike RTD teas that do well in either the natural or mass grocery channel, we are thriving in both” (as cited in Berrys, 2008).

Implications for Further Research: Informing the public about tea and the help that tea gives for people’s bodies would get society to become healthy. For the future there will be public announcements education the people about tea for their health. Everyone knows somebody who has had or has cancer, people can do something simple as drinking a cup of tea a day to prevent ourselves from going though the pain. For certain I am going to drink tea every day. Making a switch from your regular coffee and soda and help everyone.

Self Assessment
I have learned self problem solving. When a question it brought up you should always look into that question. Before I would let a little question go but now that have taken this class is makes me want to look at questions. Why is the world a toxic waste? It is because of us people we pollute the air with production. Global warming is happening because of the increase of production. Why are we not ending the problem? Looking into question things can make a change in one person. We figure out solutions and can look at different aspects of the world. The movie blue vinyl made a difference. One lady with a simple question. She traveled everywhere to find a solution. In her journal she interview people, did some illegal action and did a lot of research. Even though she found an alternative to the vinyl she did not like the production of it and she wanted to change that. In my own research I found information that was useful. I did not travel all around the world but I got the information I needed. I learned tea is good for you in so many ways and I know what people are drinking when it comes to consuming soda and energy drinks. I have learn a lot in class.

The Web Economy/15

Levels of Participation
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

Topics

 * There are different type of user participation in any online project.
 * They are
 * Lurkers - who only reads and hardly said a word or contribute anything. They comprise a high percentage of visitors and contribute to the hitrate.
 * Trolls - who lurks but occasionaly fire up.
 * Newbies - who are new and would try to ask around and get what they want.
 * Geeks - those who are experts and may be busy or impatient to answer too many questions. But they are the most helpful in a forum or project
 * Poison - those who may divert the attention of a project with drawn out arguments or debates.
 * Debian was a highly succesful project with 1,000 developers and faces issues giving rise to forks such as Ubuntu.
 * Information is free, people are not, contributors are priceless.
 * Web Economy for FOSS is a new medium and paradigm that many do not know how to fit in. For example in the old economy, people hide or sell information. However here we cannot do that and regard information as free. We can only sell people's time as a service and it is charged in dollars for man-hours or man-days.
 * However there are those who still manipulate information such as delaying it unless the users pay and separate such users as to time phased consumers where those who pay shall get the information earlier.
 * The Web perpetually threatens information hiding as another party can or will expose earlier or easier information to forge ahead. Therefore any profiteering model has to rely on top of the rule that information must be free.

Assignment Tasks

 * See if you can identify any such character in ADempiere SourceForge project.
 * What are the reasons for even taking part in an FOSS project in the first place?.
 * Find out how best to convert lurkers to more active users.
 * Investigate what is happening with Debian and its forks, and if there are more recent ideas on better community management.
 * When you given free information in forums, sometimes users still bother your time privately and refuse to go through public forums. What should you do?

Activities

 * Publish your works in an attractive manner in your user page, stating your own views and findings providing links to your sources. Use the talk page here to score marks.
 * Create or edit sub-pages of course materials within wikiversity.
 * Discuss in the forum (link shall be provided) by offering your ideas and answering or comment on others' postings.

Hooke's Law shows that $$\tau = G\gamma =G\rho \theta $$

In this case: $$\tau (s)=G\rho (s)\theta (s)$$

and integration along the contour yields:

$$\oint_{}^{}{\tau (s)}=G\theta (x)\oint_{}^{}{\rho (s)}$$

Where $$\tau (s)=\frac{q(s)}{t(s)}$$ and$$\oint_{}^{}{\rho (s)}=2\bar{A}$$

Discussion

Why is this method ad hoc? *to get PP' we assume $$\alpha$$ is small *to get PP" we assume finite $$\alpha$$
 * 1) PP' is projected tangent to the surface but, it is not necessarally on the surface (it is only close)
 * 2) $$\tau$$ is assumed to be uniform across the wall thickness
 * 3) Inconsistancy in assuming the size of $$\alpha$$

Formal Justification of Elasticity Theory
$$u_{x}(y,z)=\theta \psi (y,z)$$

$$u_{y}(x,z)=-\theta \psi (x,z)$$

$$u_{z}(x,y)=\theta \psi (x,y)$$

We assume, given an applied torque abouyt the x-axis that:

$$\varepsilon _{xx}=\varepsilon _{yy}=\varepsilon_{zz} =\gamma _{yz}=0$$

Where each strain is computed as:

$$\varepsilon _{xx}=\frac{du_{x}}{dx}(y,z)$$

$$\varepsilon _{yy}=\frac{du_{y}}{dy}(x,z)$$

$$\varepsilon _{zz}=\frac{du_{z}}{dz}(x,y)$$

$$\gamma _{yz}=\frac{du_{y}}{dz}+\frac{du_{z}}{dy}$$

Why Isn't Everyone Using Linux?
This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

Topics

 * Even though Linux is free and MS Windows is not, we still find a minority having Linux on their desktops.
 * Main reasons seems to be the comfortable culture from using MS for a longer time and the lack of expertise handling Linux.

Discussion

 * Research the statistics and trends of Linux vs MS usage around the world and in your particular country.
 * Are there training centres or institutions promoting Linux around your place?
 * Can you master Linux enough to have it on your own PC?
 * What do you think are the real reasons why people are not switching from MS Office to OpenOffice?

Activities

 * Publish your works in an attractive manner in your user page, stating your own views and findings providing links to your sources. Use the talk page here to score marks.
 * Create or edit sub-pages of course materials within wikiversity.
 * Discuss in the forum (link shall be provided) by offering your ideas and answering or comment on others' postings.

Interaction between children and nature
HI DESi!

I just recognized that you are in the German groupe. Sorry, I should have shown more interest in getting to know the teammembers....;) As we are both in Eichstätt, we can do the questionnaire together. Have you already found a school, where we can do it? If not, I would ask some of the school in Eichstätt, if its possible to do the questionnaire in diffrent classes. Do you know when the presentation has to be? I think, it won't rest a lot of time. I have to read more about the topic...

I would be glad if you send me a short answer. You can either use the forum, my e-mail: elli.on@web.de or my wiki/ youre wikipage...

Why do I actually write in English???? ;)

bis bald Elli
