AP Physics 1 formerly AP Physics B
AP Physics C
Mackenzie Aime
"You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be."
Sarah Baer
"Do or do not. There is no try."
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C is the most advanced Physics class at Borah and is only open to students who already are in Calculus. Students have commented that the math used in AP Physics C is beyond that of even AP Calculus. It is a class taken by those at the top. Students who want to understand the upper topics of physics or those wanting to major in physics or engineering in college should plan to eventually take this course. Prerequisites are a previous AP Physics class and currently taking Calculus.
Sam Nichols
"Am glad I took it. It actually is easier than Pre-Calc.
AP Calculus AB
AP Physics 1 will be a lab based class with topics ranging from motion, forces, momentum, energy to electricity and sound waves. Have you ever wondered what would happen to you if you were to be sucked into a black hole or how many volts you, personally, can withstand? How much safer is a person in a heavy car compared to someone in a lighter car? Next year the current AP Physics B course will be split into a two year sequence called AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2. AP Physics 1 already will be open to sophomores who have completed Accelerated Geometry and who like science. Leave room in your schedules to take at least two AP Physics classes in your three years at Borah. Many (those who have done very well in Physical Science) will take AP Physics 1 as sophomores, AP Physics 2 as juniors, and AP Physics C as seniors. Many others (namely those seeking careers in medicine or science) will take AP Physics 1 as juniors followed by AP Physics 2 as seniors. Others (those planning to major in engineering in college) might take AP Physics 1 as juniors followed by AP Physics C as seniors. If you will be a senior next year and haven't taken any AP Physics yet, sign up for AP Physics 1 - you still can get a semester of college credit (at most colleges) and get a solid introduction to college level physics.
Nigel Hebbeln
Taking AP Calculus AB is the goal of most serious math students. Many college majors require that students succeed in Calculus. Calculus has the reputation of being a difficult course to take in college, but it generally is easier to master in high school due to having more instruction time available in high school. An added advantage of having passed the Calculus AP Exam is that one can avoid the math placement test that most colleges use to place students in College Algebra or below. You will enjoy calculus. It is no harder than other AP classes and there is considerable prestige to be had for making it this far in math. Studying hard and doing well on the Calculus AP test will be an achievement that you can be proud of for the rest of your life.
Calculus BC is the second Calculus class. Students who pass the AP test for Calculus BC generally obtain college credit for the college class named Calculus 2. Calculus BC is a continuation of the topics introduced in Calculus AB and also is a semester of new topics, including "Taylor Series" and advanced "Integration" methods. This is the highest level math class at Borah. AP Calculus BC most likely will be offered as a full year class next year and probably will be available during the regular day and not as a zero-hour class anymore. It will still be possible for seniors to take this class while also currently in Calculus AB. Juniors (or sophomores) who are in Calculus AB will take Calculus BC the following year. With teacher permission, it might be possible to take only the second semester of Calculus BC and still succeed on the Calculus BC AP test.

Media discovery service Shazam continued its move into TV content and expanded into the United Kingdom with two app-enhanced spots on "Britain's Got Talent." Today, Shazam said approximately 50,000 viewers used the Shazam mobile app to "tag" 30-second spots for Pepsi Max and Cadbury that ran on Saturday night. During the spots, the Shazam logo appeared with the message, "Shazam for bonus content."
Shazam for TV lets viewers tag TV ads by having the smartphone application recognize the audio that accompanies them. Once an ad is tagged, users are driven to a custom branded experience, which can feature a range of calls to action such as click-to-shop, as well as social actions.
In this first implementation in the UK, viewers of the show who had Shazam on their smartphones were able to enter contests to win summer music festival tickets from Pepsi MAX and an Olympic Ceremony package from Cadbury. The Pepsi MAX Crowd Surfing football spot also included the chance to unlock other prizes, merchandise and a link to download a music track.
Evan Krauss, EVP of ad sales for Shazam, said the mobile interactions are a less disruptive experience, because users can tag and then come back later to enter the contests or consume bonus content. "I can raise my hand in the living room and say I'm interested in getting more content. I can engage on the second screen right there or put the phone down and deal with it later."
According to Krauss, approximately 20 percent of people downloading the Shazam app do it specifically to interact with television. The app originated as a way of helping people find out about songs they're currently listening to and how to buy them.
The promotions were sold by Shazam partner ITV, the UK's largest commercial network. Mindshare handled media for Pepsi, while Cadbury's media spend was handled by PHD.
In the United States, Shazam's engagements are direct with marketers and the other half with agencies, Krauss said. Because ITV has strong connections with agencies already buying TV spots, he said, "It's not surprising they had a strong start with agencies there."
Shazam also worked with Pepsi on a Super Bowl campaign to promote the TV show "X Factor." Fans who used Shazam to tag a Pepsi commercial during the big game got access to a music video by X Factor winner Melanie Amaro.
Shazam TV ads are typically based on the television buy, with the company charging between $0.25 and $0.40 CPM on top of the TV impressions. Sometimes, the company negotiates a flat fee, as it did for these campaigns.
Shazam has more than 200 million users worldwide, with 65 million in the U.S. and approximately 10 million in the UK. ITV ran a pre-broadcast announcement highlighting its first-ever interactive commercial. Only those who had downloaded the app could take advantage of the bonus content.
Advertisers get reports on how many people tag an ad and when they do it, with a location reporting option. "Most advertisers have been interested in the engagement rates," Krauss said, with between 60 and 90 percent of viewers who click entering contests or watching bonus content.
"We're managing time spent and helping advertisers understand how to convert a 30-second spot to three minutes," he said.

Someone should have told you this prior to submitting your application. I no longer frequent the DAR headquarters. I verified DAR papers for many years and stopped because I closed so many lines. A line is not 'flagged' unless there is really damaging primary source data.
DAR is not going to be interested in an SAR application. I am sorry but they are two separate organizations.

Find info concerning Clarendon College application status, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Concentrating on Clarendon College application status, for example, may give you an advantage in corporate recruiting being conducted on-campus. Check with the admissions office for course registration deadlines, and college admissions program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Clarendon College.
Essays are gaining importance as a way to judge potential, and essays largely have replaced personal interviews. Writing an email may be easy, but rewriting a serious college admissions essay is much more challenging. Re-write your application essay as many times as you feel is needed, and have people that you trust read it. Essays must emphasize personal development, and demonstrate intellectual curiosity, social conscience, and concern for the community. College applicants should show that they've been involved in students organizations and not just studying all the time.
The admissions essay topic should be something the applicant cares about, and which shows how you've helped others to enjoy greater success. The best essay topics are like a short story, with poignant details, in which the writer shows by example. There should be no grammar errors or punctuation mistakes in your college essay, and even if the college application says that the essay is optional, you should treat it as an admission requirement. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Grand Rapids Community College required classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

A gorilla in a tree
The next week I was volunteering in my daughters class and I had to listen to the kids read their stories, praise what they did right and give them a few helpful hints on how they could make it better.
Despite being put on the spot to provide feedback to a bunch of eight and nine year olds, what I found interesting is how different everyone's story was. One was about hunting, another a jungle, a pet, getting chased up the tree, etc.
I know it's been said that there are no original ideas left in this world, but even if that's true, there are definitely original voices. Two authors could have exactly the same idea for a book, but each book would be completely unique.
What do you think? Are all the ideas used up? Do you think that two authors could have the same idea but come up with completely different books?
PS: I think blogger might hate me because everytime I try to comment on someone's blog it kicks me out. I am reading everyone's posts - honest.

I think any idea can be made original by putting your own voice to it, as these kids did. :-) It's our unique view of the world that makes it fresh!
- May 24, 2011 at 10:08 AM

Yes, I do believe we all are unique, creating our own ideas for stories, even though we may be all in the same classroom of life.
- May 24, 2011 at 12:08 PM

Totally! I think that 2 persons could have the same premise but their book would be completely different! I think it's like fingerprints... you know?
- May 24, 2011 at 1:35 PM
- Heidi Willis said...
I think all the copycat Harry Potter and Twilight books show that the same basic idea can be written many ways.
I worry about this myself, though. Several of my favorite ideas for books in my "idea folder" have been recently published by other authors, and it leaves me feeling defeated. Can I make my own story from it, and can it be unique and fresh? That I don't know.
- May 24, 2011 at 2:02 PM
- Kasie West said...
So true. Give two writers the same plot and the books will be entirely different. It's really a great thing.
- May 24, 2011 at 2:56 PM
- Jessica Nelson said...
Completely agree with you! How fun to hear the kids' stories too.

Ideas are so universal that yes when boiled down to their base roots I guess there are no new ideas but the execution of those ideas is endless.
- May 25, 2011 at 3:23 AM
- Jessie Oliveros said...
I agree. I am thinking of writing this great book about a girl who visits a hidden world in Iceland. What do you think? But really, I used to be more wary about sharing my ideas on my blog but now I'm a little more free with them because I know no one will ever write it like me. Plus, people usually want to put all that time and effort AND EMOTION into their own idea baby. I'm sending you something right now.
- May 25, 2011 at 6:52 AM
- ....Petty Witter said...
You could argue that there are no original ideas but I believe there are many new eyes to see different perspectives and many new mouths to voice these different perspectives.
Not the only one to be having problems, I'm unable to sign into some blogs unless I 'sign in' as anon though I do tell them its me in my comment.
You could try using Google Chrome and see if that makes any difference.

- Robyn Campbell said...
I shall get blogger for being SOOO ugggly with you, Patti!
I think the ideas are used up, but people see things differently as you discovered in your daughter's classroom. I could look at a picture and write a totally different story than you. And isn't that great? That's called creativity at its best. Super post you chocolate lover you. :-)

Blogger's been behaving badly lately ~ it's not just you! FYI, I've heard that if you log out and back in again, it frees up the commenting again. Weird, I know.
And I loved this example of how every person's story is unique!
I agree that there may be a shortage of STORIES to be told, but that as long as their are unique VOICES (love how you put that) there will always be something for us to read (and write!)
- May 25, 2011 at 6:07 PM
- Kathi Oram Peterson said...
So true that an author brings their own originality to a story making it their own.
And didn't you receive the special Blogger dust to sprinkle on your keyboard that helps evaporate all Blogger glitches? Neither did I. ;)

I've often wondered that myself. When you find out, you'll have to let me know. =)

Three questions which are sometimes helpful *in the moment* in deciding if and how to move forward with a particular issue:
1. What?
2. So what?
3. Now what?
1. What?
- What is going on?
- What is happening?
- Try to be simply descriptive and non-judgmental.
2. So what?
- So what does that mean for you, if anything?
- Does this have true meaning, true significance?
- Or is it your ego, your expectations, your head getting to you?
3. Now what?
- What are you going to do about it, if anything?
- What will make you feel better, less stress, more at ease with and accepting of the situation?

eBook (ePub)
Price: $24.99
The novel describes a woman, tired of politics-as-usual, who decides to run a campaign on the Internet for the 2016 Presidential election. Her low-investment, no financial backing campaign is meant only to be an example, paving the way for others to embrace diversity, technology, and participatory politics without spending much and owing little to others. How she is accidentally selected to one of the early Presidential Debates to replace the third party candidate is still a mystery to this day. But in the end it gives her a venue for both challenging a key government prescribed worldview and laying the groundwork for the future of American politics.

Your Isuzu dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted repair parts to fix your i-290. When your Isuzu i-290 was born, it was destined for a driver who wants long-lasting quality in their automobile. Make no mistake, you bought your i-290 because you knew that you wanted Japanese engineering and youthfulness both impeccably combined into one automobile. Isuzu car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their i-290 around town.
Your Isuzu i-290 disc brake pads are the result of decades of innovation and testing on race tracks as an advanced means for stopping the vehicle. They provide a more effective style of braking because of how they create friction than the brake shoes they eventually replaced. You will find your vehicle's brake pads on either side of the rotor placed inside your caliper. Hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder is transferred to the caliper, and it presses the disc brake pads against the rotor surface causing heat and friction. This thermal reaction slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. When your Isuzu needs a new replacement Disc Brake Pads, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Isuzu i-290 part for your needs. If your car or truck was built in 2008, 2007, then you will find the correct Isuzu i-290 Disc Brake Pads parts right here.

There is no official right or wrong answer to your question. It's my opinion that you are better off avoiding pursing your lips, which contributes to vertical lip wrinkles, not just while you heal, but indefinitely.

Students at 21st century all have been a part of unique experiences they will normally not engage in. Students participating in the Character Education session were provided with the opportunities to solve problems by designing, creating, assembling, and maintaining the school garden using real tools.
One of the earliest projects students were to determine the appropriate size of an indoor garden table that would provide the greatest area while maintain within set size parameters. In addition, students discovered different facets of maintaining an indoor garden that included watering solutions and lighting solutions.
After the table and seeds were set on the table, students then refocused their energies into working the outdoor garden. Students explored the different types of soils and nutrition needed for a successful garden. Students also explored proper watering techniques and had the unique experience of installing a water sprinkler system. In addition to the water sprinklers, students also took part in the process of feeding plants the correct amount of fertilizer and the correct methods of removing fruits and vegetables from the plants.
Throughout this experience, students were able to learn about what it takes to not only build and maintain garden but were also able to implement some of the knowledge they gained while mastering the standards in their regular classroom.

Its design begins with a carefully engineered power supply to ensure separate, ripple-free voltage and current to both digital and analogue circuits. It maintains the same clean lines and intuitive operation as the other 14 series models, while demonstrating an uncanny ability to resolve even the smallest musical details in a recording.
The good thing about the Rotel CD14 is that all the functions are easy to access with them being on the front of the CD14 or on the remote control.
One of the unique functions of the Rotel CD14 is that once the CD has been played through once it then goes into random mode which plays the songs on the CD in random order. this mode can be turned off if you press the 'STOP' button or put it into repeat mode.

I decided to do some research into the relationship between photos and memory on the internet.
I found lots of interesting articles, such as This, which says the following –
"The photograph doesn't remind me of the event, it doesn't merely elicit a memory.
The photograph IS the memory."
Which i find to be a good point in what i'm trying to do with my film. Photographs aren't just windows into a memory, they become the memory themselves.
I also like this article, about the same sort of thing –
"They memorialize a moment in time that will never happen again, but serve as a reminder of the exact feelings and emotions felt when the shutter went off."
"Pictures don't make us, but they remind us of who we are, where we came from and where we're going to be."
I also found this article & this article about how memories can be changed with photographs, which is another area i was interested in exploring.
I also looked up John Berger, who had been mentioned in previous lectures. This was very helpful for me too.

China's debt binge could crash the entire world economy: IMF issues stark warning as borrowing balloons
- Unchecked borrowing growth on this scale often leads to collapse, warns IMF
- 'Decisive policy action is needed to deflate the credit boom smoothly' it says
- Situation in China is a chilling echo of the West's own crisis a decade ago
Surging debt in China could cripple the world economy unless its Communist leaders take action now, the International Monetary Fund has warned.
Consumer, business and government debt has surged to around 240 per cent of the country's economy – sparking fears of a high-risk bubble which could burst at any moment.
The new Chinese middle class is a vital driver of global growth, and a financial crisis in the country could plunge the planet into a fresh recession, it is claimed.
Unchecked borrowing growth on the scale experienced in China has often led to a sudden collapse, the IMF said.
Consumer, business and government debt has surged to 230% of China's economy – sparking fears of a high-risk bubble which could burst at any moment
'International experience suggests that China's credit growth is on a dangerous trajectory, with increasing risks of a disruptive adjustment and a marked growth slowdown,' researchers argued. 'Decisive policy action is needed to deflate the credit boom smoothly.'
The organisation claimed that annual growth has been propped up by free-and-easy lending to firms and families.
It said that without this debt-fuelled spending, the Chinese economy would have grown an average 5.3 per cent per year from 2012 to 2016. Instead, it typically grew by 7.3 per cent.
In a chilling echo of the West's own crisis a decade ago, which created space for the Chinese economy to become increasingly important, analysts have argued that banks were behind the problem by coming up with more creative ways to make money.
In the US and Europe, this led to disaster when highly complicated bundles of debt, which few people understood, were underpinned by worthless mortgages.
'Complex and primarily short-term funding structures underpinning rapid credit growth are a key vulnerability,' the analysts said.
They added: 'Banks' rapid asset expansion has relied on increasingly complex funding structures, extending beyond deposit funding to interbank markets and wealth management products, and via complex and interlinked networks of entities.
'Complex funding structures and sizable, opaque off-balance sheet investments suggest that a deleveraging process in the financial sector could be bumpy.'
The authorities in China are seeking to double the size of its economy between 2010 and 2020, and accept debt will play a key role.
Chinese borrowing has quadrupled since the crisis and hit £22trillion at the end of last year – bigger than the annual output of the UK, US, France and Germany combined.
According to the Washington-based IMF, the nation's debt pile will be more than 290 per cent of the size of its economy in 2022.
It also warned that the nation's expansion was underpinned by government spending on infrastructure and a willingness to allow state-controlled banks to lend cash for property developments. Neither has historically been sustainable.
Not only that, but debt is doing less to boost growth, with three times as much credit needed now as in 2008 to achieve the same expansion.
China's government debt is growing as a percentage of GDP, according to figures from the IMF
In the last ten years, the private sector debt – excluding government spending – has climbed by 80 points to 175 per cent of economic output.
The IMF said: 'Such large increases have, internationally, been associated with sharp growth slowdowns and often financial crises.'
China's IMF representative Jin Zhongxia rejected the organisation's claims, saying: 'The stronger performance of the Chinese economy... was not merely driven by policy stimulus but is rather a reflection of rebalancing and structural adjustment.
The scenario of an abrupt slowdown in the Chinese economy is highly unlikely.'

- Only water grass 1 inch per week
- Check water softeners often for optimal operation
- Use phosphate-free products
- Ensure household plumbing is in good repair
St. Francis Water System
The City of St. Francis gets it water from 3 deep wells; one is finished in the Mt. Simon aquifer and two are finished in a Quaternary Buried Artesian aquifer. The distribution system consists of approximately 35 miles of water main, 344 fire hydrants, 568 gate valves, and approximately 1,500 water service connections. The City's water tower has a storage capacity of 750,000 gallons. An additional 1.2 Million Gallons of storage are available at the Water Treatment Plant. Chlorine and fluoride are added to the water for disinfection and dental hygiene. An orthophosphate is added for corrosion control in your interior plumbing. Learn more.
Liquid Assets MN
This program explores concerns about Minnesota's aging water infrastructure. Many drinking water systems, sanitary sewers and storm sewers throughout the state are rapidly approaching the end of their useful life, so communities of all sizes are trying to come up with ways to replace these vital utilities that are routinely taken for granted. It can be viewed from TPT's video vault.

Tips to Reduce Outdoor Water Use
Is my water safe to drink?
Definitely! St. Francis water meets all of the Environmental Protection Agency's health and aesthetic standards for safe drinking water.
Is the water in St. Francis hard?
St. Francis water is classified as very hard with 13-14 grains per gallon. Water hardness is due principally to calcium and magnesium. Water is generally harder in areas where calcium and magnesium rich limestone rocks are present. St. Francis pumps its water from aquifers in dolomite/limestone rock formation.
Is there fluoride in my water?
Yes. The groundwater naturally contains a small amount of fluoride. The Water Department then adds more fluoride to bring the total amount to the Minnesota Department of Health standards (.9 to 1.4 mg/l).
Should I buy bottled water?
This is a personal decision. Remember that US bottled water is less regulated than municipal water and bottled water costs up to a 1,000 times more than St. Francis water.
Should I install a water filter in my home?
This is a personal decision. A water filter is not required for the municipal water in St. Francis to meet drinking water standards. If the water is not to your liking, then you may want to consider a home treatment unit. Most filters will remove the large chlorine ions, which is added to the water to kill harmful bacteria and fluoride ions, which strengthen teeth.
Should I install a water softener in my home?
St. Francis has very hard water that may cause scale buildup on your fixtures or spots on your dishes. If you are bothered by this a water softener should help. Soft water rinses off better, and you generally use less soap for your dishes and laundry.
What causes the white scale on my sink and fixtures?
Deposits of calcium and magnesium build up over time. These two minerals make up most of the hardness in your water. Hard water is not harmful.
Where does St. Francis' water come from?
Groundwater is pumped from 3 deep wells, ranging from 229 to 417 feet deep. The groundwater is located in the Mt. Simon aquifer (Well #1) and Quaternary Buried Artesian aquifers (Wells #3 and #4). St. Francis has the capacity to pump over 4.3 million gallons per day if needed.
Why do we store water in water towers?
- A large amount of water may be needed to fight a large fire.
- When you turn on your faucet water flows out because the water in the pipes is under pressure and is pushed out. The weight of the water in the water tower provides your house with water pressure. The higher the water is above you, the more pressure you have.
- Excess storage means the well can pump water more efficiently. The wells can pump water all night into storage as we sleep for the large demand when everyone wakes up and gets ready to start their day. Water is also saved over weekdays for weekends when the majority of people use water to clean and do laundry. St. Francis's elevated storage tank can hold 750,000 gallons of water. The Water Treatment Plant, has additional storage of 1.2 million gallons, giving a total storage capacity of 1.95 million gallons.
