French Basics -How to Pronounce the Vowels Plus the Letter 'U'
This video offers the correct way to say the combination/blend of vowels plus the letter 'u'. (00:48) Each blend/combination is said once while the narrator pauses for you to repeat. ('Repetez' means repeat.)
1.1.1 Why set targets?
To support student development as a whole, the governing body needs to think about the wider aspects of the school, as well as simply looking for success in tests and public examinations. For example, a school may have, as a whole-school objective, raising the number of students who stay on into post-16 education. This may not necessarily raise results at GCSE immediately, but if successful, over time, the benefits may be threefold:
it will have a pos
Crisis in Ukraine: 'The Window of Opportunity Is Very Short'
Events in Ukraine are moving swiftly these days, with Crimea's vote to secede followed by evolving reactions from Russia, the U.S. and Europe. Sophia Opatska, CEO of Lviv Business School in Ukraine, discusses what led to the current crisis and what lies ahead for a country now divided.

2.4 Period
You saw in Section 2.3 that the prongs of the tuning fork vibrate cyclically. You also learned that a cycle of the prongs' vibration is a complete sequence of motion up to the point at which the motion starts to repeat itself. Another term for this repetitive kind of motion is periodic motion. The t
Having enjoyed political independence until 1707, the survival of many of Scotland's institutions – notably its systems of law, religion and education – after Union with England contributed to the preservation of its singular identity. The different way in which Scotland began to be incorporated into the UK, through monarchical ascent (of James I of Scotland to the English throne) rather than by conquest (as was the case in Wales and Ireland), may account for the lesser impact the develo
2.3 Addition of vectors
We saw above that the vector 2v can be regarded as the vector v 'followed by' the vector v; we can also quite naturally describe this vector as being the 'sum', v + v, of the vector with itself.
Analogously, if p is the vector 2 cm E and q is the vector 3 cm NE, we can think of the 'sum' p + q of the vectors as follows. Starting from a given point, O say, draw the vector p; starting from its finishi
German history in documents and images
German History in Documents and Images (GHDI) exhibits primary sources online to present a narrative of Germany's political, social, and cultural history from 1500 to the present. The site includes historical narrative overviews and original German texts, accompanied by new English translations. Short secondary historical narratives are prepared by a variety of current scholars who are specialists in relevant fields. The site is divided into ten sections according to historical time periods, w
Experiments with Density
Life's a Lab Science Club: An after school program discusses the concepts of sink or float (density) of rice, eggs, etc. Several density experiments are demonstrated and discussed but explanations from the teacher are slightly difficult to hear. Run time 08:36.
Creative enterprise in west Yorkshire Arts organisations
This report describes and theorises the findings of a workshop discussion, commissioned by WYLLN, into the views of arts organizations on the challenges they face in becoming more enterprising and less grant dependent.
Predicting Harmful Algal Blooms and Red Tides
This video explains algal blooms (also known as red tides) and how they are being observed so that the cause of red tides can be discovered. (01:29).
5.12 Organic Chemistry I (MIT)
This subject deals primarily with the basic principles to understand the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. Emphasis is on substitution and elimination reactions and chemistry of the carbonyl group. The course also provides an introduction to the chemistry of aromatic compounds.

16.2.3 Manipulating data
Once all items have been scanned, the checkout computer manipulates the data to produce the total cost. If you are paying with cash and require change, the checkout operator will enter the amount you have tendered (an example of the computer receiving data from the user) and the computer will calculate any change required.
Academic research on student engagement - lost formulae to inspiring students
This paper shows academic tutors take on a multitude of roles in their current positions at university and while teaching is expected, from most, it is often assumed that the tutor will apply appropriate pedagogical tools to convey knowledge to the students. This view is now being challenged as many students are being actively encouraged to voice their views of the teaching and learning experience this paper shows
