Public Square

Over the course of the semester I have been volunteering with American Public Square. I have completed around eleven hours so far and have been helping at events hosted by the group. At events I have helped attendants find seats, passed out programs, collected questions from the audience, tracked demographics, and cleaned up once attendees have left. While my acts have seemed small to me, those putting on the programs have said these little things amount to a large burden off their shoulders. From American Public Squares website it is an "organization that is changing the tone and quality of public discourse by bringing non like-minded people together to create a forum for fact-based, civil conversation about national, regional and local issues."…

Ever noticed how quickly time fly’s by? A single day retains only twenty-four hours; ones individual life is contrived up of these single seconds, hours, and minutes. Before it’s even realized that time has passed. How that time was spent is inconsequential. I realized that no matter how that time was used; that day will come to a halt. When it ends there is a series of questions you can ask yourself. In my opinion there is one question that trumps the others. Did I have a positive effect on the…

block that you can sew on the front of a pillow. It’s lovely, and it’s a relatively simple pattern to make – so you can still do this in time for Valentine’s Day. To do this project, you will need: •three fabrics of your choice, which we’ll refer to as Fabric 1, Fabric 2, and Fabric 3 •cutting mat (I use a combination cutting mat and ironing board to streamline the entire process) •iron •fabric scissors •rotary cutter •quilting thread Step One: Cut the three fabrics – these are the…

Communal Areas Cleaning London Do you own a large commercial property, student property, flat share or office block? If you do, then you will have to address cleaning communal areas. The reason is because you must provide residents or visitors to such property with healthy living conditions that stand up to certain standards. You could try and take on such task on your own, but odds are it will be too large a job. By outsourcing the job to a communal areas cleaning company, you can take the…

Also, space would be as free as possible to allow the traffic to flow between activities. For example, I create a cozy area where the children will be free the noise (Mayesky, 2015). Space requirements: My ideal infant classroom would be for 8 infants between ages between 6 weeks to 12 months. It would have a proximity of 500 sq. feet where each child should have a minimum of 35 square feet of usable indoor floor space and 30 sq. feet of sleeping space per child. I should have a minimum 2 feet…

knew there was only one rectangle. After figuring out how many rectangles were in a 1x1 grid I moved onto the 2x2 grid. However, this time I could not briefly look at the grid and know how many rectangles there were. This time when counting the squares I decided that I was going to label each square in the 2x2 grid, like the grid below. Now with the entire 2x2 gird labeled I could give each rectangle I found a “name”. The rectangles that I found for the 2x2 were A, B, C, D, AB, AC, BD, CD,…

Before the man even looked at him, he climbed onto the stage and began writing on the stone. “Can I clear a few things up?” he said. “The book, the title is written in Akkadian. It says, On Triangles, written by Sudines. And the spell? It’s a theorem that can find the length of the hypotenuse of any right triangle. It’s amazing, but it’s not witchcraft.” Using the chalk he sketched out two square frames, each filled with different shapes. “The square frames are equal in size, but there are…

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston opened on July 4, 1876 in honor of the United States centennial. It was originally located in Copley Square, and it had roughly 5,600 works of art in its collection. The museum, however, had difficulty housing their collection in the ensuing years, as more people donated their works of art, and they were forced to relocate their museum elsewhere to expand exhibition space. In November of 1909, the museum moved to Huntington Avenue, and the museum was designed by…

discovered how to use genetic Punnett squares at GCSE level, I was intrigued and wanted to know how to take it a step further. Once gaining a solid foundation of one gene Punnett squares, I asked my teacher to teach me how to set out a Punnett square involving two characteristics. When we were taught monohybrid crossovers at A2 level, I was shocked by the implied simplicity of how eye colour in humans is determined by just one gene. Over the following days, I looked into how eye colour is…

Keywords: Equity, Standardized Assessment, Evaluation Paper Description: This quantitative study uses a least-squares regression model to determine the predictive power of socio-economic factors on district-level student achievement on new, Common Core-aligned standardized assessments. We posit that educators may use our methodology and model to control for socio-economic factors, and more equitably compare school district performance. Purpose We used a least-squares regression model to…
