A powerful short documentary exploring Overtourism, featuring interviews with local residents and global experts.
Overtourism occurs when there are too many visitors to a particular destination. When rent prices push out local tenants to make way for holiday rentals, when narrow roads become jammed with tourist vehicles, when tourists cannot view landmarks because of the crowds – these are all signs of overtourism.
And it is the backlash from local residents that has made overtourism news. Cities such as Barcelona, Venice and Dubrovnik, and places once thought of as remote such as Iceland and Skye have suffered firsthand, and the protests by local residents have spread.
There has been decades of virtually uncontrolled growth, and it has crossed a threshold: in many destinations, tourism now demonstrably creates more problems than benefits.

In which John Green teaches you about the Crusades embarked upon by European Christians in the 12th and 13th centuries. Our traditional perception of the Crusades as European Colonization thinly veiled in religion isn't quite right. John covers the First through the Fourth Crusades, telling you which were successful, which were well-intentioned yet ultimately destructive, and which were just plain crazy. Before you ask, no, he doesn't cover the Children's Crusade, in which children were provoked to gather for a Crusade, and then promptly sold into slavery by the organizers of said Crusade. While this story is charming, it turns out to be complete and utter hooey.

Science Background: • Inside the can at room temperature (with the water inside) is at the same air pressure as the air outside the can • Water expands to about 600 times its liquid volume when heated above its boiling point (100 degrees) • Water expands and pushes almost all of the air outside of the can. The water vapor inside the can has the same pressure as the air outside the can • Hot water vapor condenses into liquid water when cooled • The volume of the condensed water is approximately 600 times less than the previous hot water vapor volume

Today we’re going to talk about how to keep information secret, and this isn’t a new goal. From as early as Julius Caesar’s Caesar cipher to Mary, Queen of Scots, encrypted messages to kill Queen Elizabeth in 1587, theres has long been a need to encrypt and decrypt private correspondence. This proved especially critical during World War II as Allan Turing and his team at Bletchley Park attempted to decrypt messages from Nazi Enigma machines, and this need has only grown as more and more information sensitive tasks are completed on our computers. So today, we’re going to walk you through some common encryption techniques such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, and RSA which are employed to keep your information safe, private, and secure.

Developed for third grade. Students observe a crystal growth process.Biology In Elementary Schools is a Saint Michael's College student project. The teaching ideas on this page have been found, refined, and developed by students in a college-level course on the teaching of biology at the elementary level. Unless otherwise noted, the lesson plans have been tried at least once by students from our partner schools. This wiki has been established to share ideas about teaching biology in elementary schools. The motivation behind the creation of this page is twofold: 1. to provide an outlet for the teaching ideas of a group of college educators participating in a workshop-style course; 2. to provide a space where anyone else interested in this topic can place their ideas.

Plan de leçon fourni (mise en situation, tâche d'exploration, discussion, et extension): « En traçant des lignes pour joindre les points d’un ensemble, l’enfant crée des motifs. Ces motifs sont une des stratégies qu’il peut développer pour apprendre à subitizer ... L’idée de subitizer est l’équivalent de la lecture globale des mots en littératie. L’enfant ne décode pas chaque syllabe d’un mot en lecture globale, il reconnaît plutôt le mot d’un seul coup d’œil. La même idée s’applique à la subitisation en mathématique. Subitizer veut dire reconnaître d’un coup d’œil une quantité d’objets. Cela suppose que l’enfant a observé des arrangements familiers de ceux-ci. »

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the properties of a cube. A 3-D cube is shown in the applet which can be interactively manipulated using the mouse. Research has shown that some younger students have difficulty visualizing the parts of a 3D object that are hidden. To help with this, the student can rotate the cube in any axis simply by dragging it with the mouse. It can also be 'exploded' - where a slider gradually separates the faces to reveal the ones behind. The cube can also be made translucent so you see through it to the other side. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector, and printed to make handouts. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet that allows the user to graphically explore the properties of a cubic equation. Specifically, it is designed to foster an intuitive understanding of the effects of changing the 4 coefficients in the function. The applet shows a large graph of a quadratic (ax^3 + bx^2 +cx + d) and has four slider controls, one each for the coefficients a,b,c and d. As the sliders are moved, the graph is redrawn in real time illustrating the effects of these variations. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

Arlie LaRoche was born and raised on a Saskatchewan farm. When Arlie moved to the city, she realized that she had taken for granted that she knew where her food came from. She saw that not everyone had that same connection to their food. She was inspired to be that connection for people along with her husband, Brett. Together they started Farm One Forty, a holistic, regenerative vegetable and livestock farm just outside of Saskatoon.
After hosting some dinner events on their farm they came up with the idea of opening a restaurant in Saskatoon. Arlie and Brett partnered with co-owners Lacey Sellinger (general manager and sommelier) and Scott Dicks (chef) to make this a reality. Located right in the heart of the Broadway District in Saskatoon, Odla, which means to farm, cultivate and grow in Swedish, focuses on crafting their menu around Saskatchewan-seasonal ingredients. The restaurant gets livestock from Farm One Forty and some vegetables but also sources ingredients from other farmers in the region. The menu changes as the seasons do and is inspired by what comes in each week or what has been preserved from harvest.

"During times of crisis, it can be a natural instinct to focus our full attention on our teams, and forget to care for ourselves. However, burned-out leaders aren't able to serve themselves or their teams, and will struggle to effectively address the situations at hand. Maggie Hodge shares a week's worth of daily wellness practices for the mind, body, and soul, to promote creativity, productivity, and wellness."
