FedFlash Online - September/October - Yeshiva Atlanta High School

FedFlash Online - September/October - Yeshiva Atlanta High School: "Course objectives included: understanding hemispherisity, understanding the reading process and using images and structure words to stimulate concept imagery. "It is important to recognize that every student learns differently," says Rabbi Abrams. "But the basic cognitive process has underlying commonalities. This course was very effective in helping teachers learn how to engage students visualizing/ verbalizing process in both the classroom and remediation setting and has given the entire faculty a strategy for improved teaching."

Conflict Resolution

Conflict Resolution: "Cain killed Abel. It was swift, cruel, and permanent.

After this incident, the next familial conflict we find is with Lot and Abraham. Abraham beseeches Lot not to argue with him because, "we are brothers" (Genesis 13:9). Their conflict was resolved by separation from each other. Even though Abraham risked his life to save Lot after this separation, there is no record of them ever interacting together after this separation. The conflict is resolved by their going separate ways.

In the conflict between Isaac and Ishmael, again we find that the two parties separated in order to resolve their conflict. While their parting is not necessarily permanent, it is dramatic and, according to many commentators, it was considered the 9th Divine test of faith for their father Abraham."

Hacktivists Anonymous claim to have taken down Home Office website | Technology | guardian.co.uk

Hacktivists Anonymous claim to have taken down Home Office website | Technology | guardian.co.uk: "Anonymous announced on Twitter: "TANGO DOWN - http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk For your draconian surveillance proposals! Told you to #ExpectUs!"

The group was thought to have used a denial-of-service attack, where large numbers of computers overload a website with requests.

If proven to be true, the incident could prove embarrassing for the government as the method is considered one of the least complicated tools in the hackers' arsenal. Anonymous had promised to carry out the mass assault in a tweet posted on Wednesday and a flurry of messages in following days encouraged supporters to join in."

Eadweard J Muybridge celebrated in a Google doodle | Technology | guardian.co.uk

Eadweard J Muybridge celebrated in a Google doodle | Technology | guardian.co.uk: " Muybridge's "The Horse in Motion", a film strip-style collection of shots created using 24 cameras which capture the running habits of racehorses owned by Leland Stanford, a Californian businessman and animal breeder.

Stanford had wanted to know if galloping horses had all four legs off the ground, as previously portrayed by painters, and engaged Muybridge in an attempt to find out.

The photographs, taken in 1872 and regarded as one of the earliest forms of videography, demonstrated that all four legs often did leave the ground. However, they were not as artists had depicted them, with the legs stretched out fore and aft, but with the four legs tucked up under the horse."
