communication is called “verbal communication”, and communication without language is called “non-verbal communication”. For example, verbal communication is linguistic such as conversation, letters, printed matter, and non-verbal communication is based on face expression, voice size, gaze, gesture and so on. If we do a simple search on the internet we will find that Dr. Albert Mehrabian of psychologist announced that 93% of the impression will be determined by nonverbal elements other than words. It called “Mehrabian's law”. (Wikipedia) However a deeper look with show that this is false. Mehrabian was only looking at some very clear and obvious non-verbal action – deciding if people were happy or sad from pictures and we should not read too much into this. Nevertheless we often see articles in support of this. Gesture is important and we use it all the time for example, everyday life, we may bury our head in hands and saying “I am very fine today”, Linguistically it says “I'm fine”. But The part says “I do not feel well”. Therefore, we feel doubt whether she is really fine. Even without say anything, say “it is written all over your face.”, it can be understand from the facial expression. It is a manifestation of communicating other than words. Also, we can do shopping without knowing the language of the culture when we go abroad, and we can communicate with local people. Because it is communicating in non-verbal manners. 1.3.2 Kind of gesture There are several kinds such as physical characteristics (gender age, physique, color of skin, etc.) behavior and facial expression, movement and posture, eye contact (eye), environmental language (the nature and characteristics of the words of the voice), silence (silence is also one of the means of expression), body contact
The question’s most common responses were “It’s mine” and “I don’t know”. This gesture can be seen in England and in Italy, but the meaning is slightly different locally. In England it probably means confidentiality, as in “Don’t spread this around,” or “Let’s keep this between us only.” On the other hand, in Italy it is more of a friendly warning “Watch out. Take care.” The question’s most common responses were “I don’t know”. This gesture of one arm with the other hand is, in Colombia and a few other Latin areas, a way of saying “He’s cheap” or “stingy.” In the Netherlands, it could mean ”He is unreliable.” The question’s both meaning and culture “I don’t know”. This gesture is not familiar in Japan, but it is confusing gesture in some cultures because it is insult, in other it sends sexual signals, and in still other parts of the world it is the signal for “Good luck.” The question’s most common responses were “Relax” and “Hawaii”. This gesture is famous in Japan because almost Japanese people know that Hawaiian use it very well. Thumb and little finger extended is way of saying “Relax”. In Mexico, when this gesture is

attached booklets to see how the American government recommends schools and houses to prepare. Volcanoes – Mt. Etna, Sicily, Italy Mount Etna is an active stratovolcano on the east coast of Sicily, Italy, in the Province of Catania. It lies above the convergent plate margin between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate. It is the tallest active volcano in Europe, currently 3,329 m high, though this varies with summit eruptions. It is the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps. Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is in an almost constant state of activity. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Dangers of Volcanoes: Lava Flows: Most traditionally associated with volcanoes, but probably one of the least dangerous hazards to humans. Lava flows only travel up to a couple of km/hr so it is possible to move out of their way. However, they can bury and incinerate any land or property that they travel over. Pyroclastic Flows: These are giant clouds of ash and gas. They are extremely dangerous because they can travel up to 500 km/hr, reach distances of 30km and can be over 700 degrees centigrade in temperature. They will burn, knock over or bury anything in their path. Lahars: These are a secondary hazard and normally occur on snow covered volcanoes. Hots ash and gas melt the snow and then mix. They then travel down the volcano as a fast moving mudflow which can drown or bury anything in their path. Ash Clouds: Not as fast moving as a pyroclastic flow, but ash clouds can still be very disruptive. The weight of falling ash can collapse buildings and destroy crops. They can reduce sunlight by blocking out the sun and even cause problems for air travel like the recent Iceland volcano. Lava or Volcanic Bombs (tephra): When volcanoes erupt they often throw out semi molten pieces of rocks. As long as humans are a safe distance they don't really pose any problems. However, because of their heat they can start fires. Poisonous Gases: When volcanoes erupt they can release poisonous gases like carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. These can kill humans or animals if they are too close, but they can also contribute to the greenhouse effect.

compliance – not just objective information about risk probability and severity, but what these precursors tell us about safety and reliability, and the public interest that drives many decisions. FTA has a responsibility to help the industry transition into the new regulatory environment under the Public Transportation Safety Program. The National Safety Plan will be FTA’s primary tool for disseminating guidance, technical assistance, templates and other information to educate, inform, and assist transit providers to improve their safety performance. This Plan is not a regulation. Although transit providers are required by law to set safety performance targets based on the criteria proposed in this Plan, FTA is not proposing to impose mandatory requirements on the transit industry through this Plan at this time, but may do so in the future. Accordingly, FTA will publish future iterations of the Plan in the Federal Register for public notice and comment. (Intentionally left blank)
• Establish and measure our safety performance against realistic and data-driven safety performance indicators and safety performance targets; • Continually improve our safety performance through management processes that ensure that appropriate safety management action is taken and is effective; and • Ensure externally supplied systems and services to support our operations are delivered meeting our safety performance standards. __________________ [Accountable Executive] ___________________ Date Appendix C

Seek legislation establishing adequate funding for upgrade and repair of sewage treatment facilities. Work with local, state, and federal government officials to provide adequate funding to protect water quality. SOIL AND TOPOGRAPHY GOALS 1. Maintain healthy, productive soils and minimize negative impacts such as erosion by ensuring land uses are consistent with the limitations of their soils and topography. SOIL AND TOPOGRAPHY POLICIES Minimize areas of earth disturbance, grading and clearing vegetation on slopes over 15% In and Resource future land use areas, developments on slopes between 15-24% shall be designed and located on the site in order to minimize adverse erosion and stormwater impacts by incorporating Low Impact Development (LID) strategies, including: Development of a lot or site shall require the least amount of site disturbance and reduce the lot coverage and building footprints as much as possible in order to maintain the natural hydrologic processes and reduce the volume and water quality impacts of the proposed development. Roads, driveways, buildings and utilities must be located on the flattest portions of the site. Minimize crossing steep slopes with roads and driveways and lay them out to follow topographic contours in order to minimize soil and vegetation disturbance. Minimize the length of driveways. Reduce the total length of residential streets by examining alternative street layouts to determine the best option for increasing the number of homes per unit length. The scale of development will not exceed the development capacity of the site. Development is prohibited (other than appropriately designed recreational trails and ski lifts) in areas predominated by slopes exceeding 25% or above 2,500 feet in elevation. When any alternative exists, developments shall not be sited on soils that are: Susceptible to flooding; Located in identified corridor protection areas; and Not suited for foundations and/or septic systems. Development proposals for shallow soils shall provide and conform to an erosion control plan for construction activities and a site drainage plan. SOILS AND TOPOGRAPHY RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Assist towns in the development of policies and ordinances that minimize the negative impacts of development on steep slopes, high elevation areas, highly erosive and shallow, unstable wet soil types.

(“pleasantness = goodness”) or whether instead it a predication (“pleasure is good”). I will try to avoid confusion on this. f. Semantic terminology. Moore sometimes writes in such a way as to suggest that an ordinary predicate expression such as ‘is yellow’ in a sentence such as ‘this orange is yellow’ names (or denotes or refers to) yellowness. That seems to me to be a possible source of trouble. I will say that such predicate expressions express yellowness; and that only a nominal expression such as ‘yellowness’ actually names (or denotes or refers to) yellowness. 4. Some commentators have claimed that Moore gives several distinct and incompatible accounts of the naturalistic fallacy. In other cases, we find that different commentators attribute fundamentally different accounts to Moore – one saying that Moore gave a certain account of the naturalistic fallacy, and the other saying that Moore gave a completely different account of the same fallacy. I think, however, that there is one main idea that stands at the root of most of Moore’s thought about the naturalistic fallacy. I acknowledge that Moore himself did not always put it in precisely the way I am going to put it, but I hope nevertheless to present something that may be viewed as a sympathetic reconstruction of what he did say. My reconstruction makes essential use of three controversial notions. The first of these is the concept of the evaluative property. Moore took intrinsic goodness to be an evaluative property; similarly for moral obligatoriness and moral rightness; and similarly for beauty. Additionally, in a discussion of Mill’s Proof (cited in passage E above), he seems to be assuming that the property of being desirable is an evaluative property. Some will recognize these as normative properties. Others – perhaps those who believe in a “fact/value gap” – will say that these are all properties from the “value” side of the gap. The second controversial notion is the concept of the natural property. Yellowness, being something we desire to desire, being more evolved, etc. are all cited by Moore as natural properties. He took a few stabs at saying what makes it correct to categorize a property as natural, but (as he himself made clear in the Preface) his stabs missed their mark. I will return to this later. At any rate, properties in this group belong on the “fact” side of the fact/value gap.

6. When mice live on gray sand, which color fur is an adaptive heritable trait? When mice live on white sand, which color fur is an adaptive heritable trait? Notice that which trait is adaptive differs in different environments. 7. What is natural selection? As part of your answer, explain why an adaptive heritable trait tends to become more common in a population. II. Natural Selection in Action – The Peppered Moth Necessary conditions for evolution by natural selection. Variation in Characteristics: For natural selection to different individuals in a population must have different characteristics. Differences in fitness: For natural selection to occur, the different characteristics of different individuals must contribute to differences in fitness (i.e. differences in ability to survive and reproduce) Heritability of characteristics: For natural selection to occur, the characteristics that affect fitness must be heritable (i.e. passed by genes from one generation to the next) These photos both show the two major forms of the peppered moth. Can you find the speckled form of the peppered moth on the lichen-covered tree trunk shown below? Can you find the black form of the peppered moth on the tree trunk that has been darkened by air pollution? x Peppered moths are active at night. During the day peppered moths rest on tree trunks and branches. Some of these resting moths are eaten by birds. Researchers have found that mortality is higher for the speckled form of the peppered moth in one type of environment, and mortality is higher for the block form of the peppered moth in a different type of environment. 8a. Which form of the peppered moth do you think had higher mortality in forests in unpolluted areas where tree trunks and branches are lighter? ___black ___ speckled Which form of the peppered moth do you think had higher mortality in forests in areas where air pollution had resulted in dark tree trunks and branches? ___ black ___ speckled 8b.

All living things “inherit” traits from their parents. “All living things “inherit” traits from parents.” If one of these traits helps them survive longer, so that they can have more offspring of their own, with those same traits, they are selected. If one (or many) of these traits, which they inherit from their parents, helps them survive longer, so that they have more offspring of their own, with those same traits-they are selected.” Because of coal-burning in the 1900’s, the bark of trees in London became white as a result of the ash in the atmosphere. “In the early 1900’s coal-burning was common in London, the air was thick with pollution. Coal smoke blackened the trees until their bark was dark brown.” Genetic traits stay the same over time. “Genetic traits may change over time to give a species the best chance of survival.” Natural selection is breeding between closely-related individuals that have the most desirable traits is encouraged. Natural selection is when over time desirable traits thrive while undesirable traits decline. Genes determine traits. Alleles are forms of a gene. There are two types of alleles that form the gene, dominant and recessive alleles. “Genes determine traits. An allele is a form of a gene. Each gene occurs in pairs. Each gens may occur in one of two forms.”
In summary, a heritable characteristic that an organism to have more offspring which survive to reproduce will tend to become more common in a population as a result of evolution by natural selection. Explain why a characteristic helps an animal to live longer will generally tend to become more common in the population as a result of evolution by natural selection. Sometimes characteristics are not heritable but are environmentally influenced. Describe three characteristics that are not inherited but affect survival. Not all heritable characteristics which contribute to longer life become more common in the population. Some characteristics contribute to long life, but not more offspring. For example, a female cat which is sterile and cannot have any offspring may live longer because she will not experience the biological stresses of repeated pregnancies. Explain why a characteristic like this which contributes to a long life, but with few or no offspring, would not become more common as a result of evolution by natural selection.
Off-site clinics Develop a set of specifications for chilly bins, including packing guidelines. Price and test multiple chilly bin types (including plug-in ones) for use by outreach and school providers. Provide a list of preferred products (ie, chilly bins and temperature monitors with audible alarms) for use with chilly bins. Extend transportation guidelines to better mitigate environmental variables (eg, stored ice, car air conditioning, etc). Add chilly bin equipment and practises to the CCA process. Training, materials and support Standardise information and support models. Consider a cold chain centre of excellence with a role in product support and centralised procurement. Define policies versus guidelines to reduce variation. Tailor policy/guidelines to providers. Use CCA to examine processes specific to the provider not just standard policies and equipment. CCA is only valid if the identified staff are present. Make CCA more frequent than three yearly. How the results will be used Maintaining and improving cold chain management and compliance is a core component of the National Immunisation Programme. The Ministry accepts the findings provided by PwC to improve cold chain management practices and is working with PHARMAC and IMAC to consider and prioritise the review recommendations. HP 6454
5 6 7 8 9 10 Part b: Explore how the area affects the resistance Measure the battery voltage and record the value in the following table. Now set up the multimeter as a current meter. Using the entire can of Play-Doh™, roll out a Play-Doh™ cylinder that is 10 cm long. Take care to keep the cross-sectional area as uniform as possible. Measure the diameter of the Play-Doh™ resistor and record it in the table. Connect the circuit as shown in the figure below, with the exception of the Play-Doh™ resistor. Play-Doh™ resistor or equivalently using circuit diagrams A Push the metal rods about 1 cm into the center of each end of your Play-Doh™ resistor, read the current. Disconnect the circuit immediately between measurements. Record the current value in the table on the next page. Cut your cylinder in half and put the extra Play-Doh™ back in the container to keep it moist. Roll out the remaining Play-Doh™ so that it is again uniform in cross-section and10 cm long. Measure the diameter and record the data in the Measure the current, disconnect the circuit immediately, and record the data. Repeat this process one more time, so you now are about ¼ of the original amount of Play-Doh™. Using Ohm’s law, calculate the values for the resistance and fill in the table below. Effect of Cross-sectional Area on Resistance (Resistor length = ~10 cm)
10. List three things that were surprises to you. Chapter 5. Pseudoscience: A Major Misuse Of Science Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. ― Carl Sagan, scientist We’ve already seen a few examples of poor science. But when the promoters of those examples claim that “science has proven” their beliefs, beware! They are trying to use the powerful word “science” to convince you that their “magic pill” works. Any view, belief, or practice that claims to be scientific, but does not follow all the rules of science, is called a pseudoscience (fake science). Some Examples of Pseudoscience Aroma Therapy, Astrology, Biorhythms, Climate Change Rejection, Clairvoyance, Dianetics/Scientology, ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), Eugenics, Fortune Tellers, Homeopathy, Intelligent Design, Irreducible Complexity, Magnetic Therapy, Numerology, Palmistry, Phrenology, Plant Emotions, Psychics, Psychokinesis, Telekinesis, Therapeutic Touch What is Pseudoscience? Pseudoscience (“soo-doe-science”) is a special case of poor science. Poor science is usually performed while trying to do real scientific work, but fails for any of the several reasons described in the previous chapter. The goal of any pseudoscience is to promote some belief, idea or product by pretending to use
