![]() ![]() This distinction is not generally made any longer. Traditionally, in horology (the study of timekeeping), the term clock was used for a striking clock, while a clock that did not strike the hours audibly was called a timepiece. ![]() A major advance occurred with the invention of the verge escapement, which made possible the first mechanical clocks around 1300 in Europe, which kept time with oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels. Water clocks, along with sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. There is a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. Some predecessors to the modern clock may be considered "clocks" that are based on movement in nature: A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a flat surface. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units such as the day, the lunar month, and the year. Nevertheless I build it as a tool to begin with (and as an entry in the "Build a Tool" contest).A clock or chronometer is a device that measure and display time. It was not my intention to fabricate a concealed weapon and I am not planning to use it as such, but if you would do so it would be entirely on your own responsability. Perhaps it could even break glass in an emergency, I'm not keen on trying that out. I think of an EDC (every day carry) where one could apply the pen as a sort of Kubotan in a self defence situation. The pointy steel edge could be used in other circumstances as well. One could not use mild steel for that since it does not contain enough carbon to be hardened - but that is another subject. ![]() With the same dimensions it should work fine but keep in mind that the point should be hard enough to actually be able to scribe in the metal. Perhaps one could use a metal rod in stead of a precision screwdriver. I did try out another generic brand which had the same kind of filling but the scriber didn't retract because the pen already had a faulty mechanism to begin with (testing before is handy sometimes). I used a pen of the Parker brand, simply because that was at hand and both the filling and the screwdriver had more or less the same dimensions. I can carry it with me without worrying of loosing it or more importantly: injuring myself or damaging my clothes. I therefore call it my "Portable Scriber" -) You could also use a file to get the same result, it only takes longer and requires more "elbow grease".Īfter testing, the scriber works just like a "normal" scriber but this one can also be handled as an everyday ballpoint pen. I found both steps easy to do since I put the screwdriver in a cordless drill and sanded it with a bench grinder. Because it was a screwdriver to begin with, the metal should be hard enough that no extra hardening is required. Since scribers work best with pointy edges, you also need to sharpen it. Use the hacksaw to remove the top and sand it so that it fits the plastic. Mark it with a sharpy or use some tape in order not to grind off too much material. Lay both the screwdriver and the filling besides each other and mark where you need to cut the screwdriver's head off, keeping in mind it needs to fit in the hole of the plastic and at the same time needs to have the same dimensions as the original filling. Clean the screwdriver in order to be able to freely move up and down the pen (in my case I had to remove the rust with sandpaper).Įxamine the hole in the plastic and notice the dept and width of it. ![]()

Institutions that have already begun the process of strategically diversifying their vendor network have a leg up. Navigating the supply chain infrastructure can be difficult, so Watson says it’s key to ensure your team includes members who are knowledgeable about the specific products needed and how to source them. Effective communication can also help your team prepare for conversations that may arise around this sensitive topic, according to Watson.īut perhaps one of the biggest challenges the team faced involved securing the products needed to care for the needs of its Black patients. It’s important to involve key stakeholder parties early in the process, including parents, supply-chain staff, frontline caregivers and hospital leadership. Watson says a comprehensive communication strategy is critical to success in this endeavor. Ease in identifying hair care needs: 23% pre-implementation, 51% after.Ĭommunication, supply-chain management are key.Comfort level in providing hair care: 30% pre-implementation, 66% after.Watson says staff feedback on the program has been excellent, and the post-implementation survey results bear that out-positive responses around providing hair care for Black patients more than doubled: The hospital rolled out the curriculum to its nurses, nurse practitioners and PCTs in July 2019. “We wanted to make sure it was in the context of cultural considerations and historical significance.” ![]() “Our workgroup was adamant that we didn’t want this to just be ‘how to wash hair,’” Watson says. They produced instructional videos, care product description sheets, scripting prompts for caregivers and even a mobile simulation cart, complete with mannequins for nurses to hone their skillsīut it was important to Watson and her team that the education went beyond just the technical aspects of tending to patients’ needs. In addition to gathering patient and caregiver feedback and sourcing the proper hygiene products, the team focused on building a training curriculum. To address those issues, Watson assembled a collaborative workgroup of six colleagues in the spring of 2018 to devise a hair care equity program. “What we found is within our own walls, this lack of representation led to a lack of awareness, lack of understanding and disparities in care,” Watson says. Nationally, research shows that a lack of representation among caregivers in health care organizations with the communities they serve can result in variabilities in the quality of care. That revelation led to one of the nation’s first pediatric hospital hair care equity programs. To avoid making any mistakes, they deferred hair care for Black patients to the unit's only Black nurse and patient care technicians (PCTs). “It had actually been more than a week since she had received any kind of hair care.”ĭigging further, Watson found the predominantly white nursing staff in the hospital's critical care unit simply didn't know how to properly care for a Black child's hair.

Once these principles are in place, there are a variety of strategies teachers can use to differentiate instruction for gifted students. If one of these factors is missing, it will be more difficult to differentiate. Other key principles of differentiation include flexible grouping, a high-quality curriculum, and ongoing assessment. “If a student-gifted or not-doesn’t feel safe and accepted by their teacher or classmates, it will be difficult for them to trust what you’re doing or take risks and learn and grow,” says Beasley. Teachers can differentiate content, process, or product (see chart below), but they need to start by building the right kind of classroom community. It’s about thinking about the pieces we can differentiate by readiness, by interest, by learning profile, and so on, for whatever type of learners are in your class.” How to Differentiate for Gifted Students “It’s a philosophy-not a bag of tricks or a strategy. “Differentiation is meeting the needs of learners where they are at,” says Beasley. They should gain experience by asking and investigating complex questions and completing challenging tasks.Īlthough we are focusing on differentiated instruction for gifted students, it is important to note that the strategies discussed in this blog can apply to all populations of students. Gifted students need opportunities to analyze, evaluate, create, and reflect. Even worse, when students who are gifted are routinely unchallenged, they may never learn how to learn. Just as a student who finds the classroom material overwhelming may zone out or misbehave, so too may a gifted student. Why Do Gifted Students Need Differentiation? It’s also important to remember that the strategies discussed in this blog can be used for “non-gifted” students as well. “Since there is no common definition of gifted, we need to appropriately assess students to discover the strengths and areas we can support.” Beasley, EdD, director of teacher education at the University of Arkansas. “There are lots of different areas that people can be gifted in, but in school, we rely on the academic piece because that’s what we serve,” says Jennifer G. ![]() It’s important to remember that students can be gifted in different ways-such as athletics, leadership, or social and emotional skills-and nobody is gifted in everything. The definition used by the state of New Jersey gives one such example, which states that a gifted and talented student is a “student who possesses or demonstrates a high level of ability in one or more content areas when compared to their chronological peers in the school district and who require modifications of their educational program if they are to achieve in accordance with their capabilities.” ![]() In fact, the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC)’s 2018–2019 State of the States in Gifted Educationreport shows that nearly every state has its own definition of gifted, and some states don’t even define the term.

Here are some key facts about the company’s major shareholders:īurton Snowboards: Burton Snowboards is one of the largest and most well-known snowboarding companies in the world, and it is also a major shareholder in Signal Snowboards. The ownership structure of Signal Snowboards has been a closely guarded secret for years, with many rumors circulating about who controls the company. Who are the Majority Shareholders of Signal Snowboards?Signal Snowboards has been one of the most popular brands in the snowboarding industry, but few people know who the majority shareholders are. Now that you know the answer to the question of whether Signal Snowboards is a private or public company, let’s explore some of the company’s history and what makes it stand out in the snowboarding world. Overall, being a private company has allowed Signal Snowboards to maintain its authenticity and vision, and has given it the flexibility to adapt to changing market trends and rider preferences. Their unique approach to board design and commitment to sustainability have made them a favorite among riders and environmentalists alike. Since the company’s financial information is not public, it can be difficult to determine its actual worth or potential for growth.ĭespite this, Signal Snowboards has managed to maintain a strong presence in the industry and has even expanded into new markets and collaborations. One potential downside to being a private company is that it can be harder to gauge the true value of the business. In fact, the company has grown significantly over the years and has a loyal following of riders who swear by their boards. However, it’s important to note that being a private company doesn’t necessarily mean that Signal Snowboards is small or lacking in resources. ![]() While it provides more privacy and flexibility in terms of financial decisions, it can also make it harder to attract investors or secure funding. This allows the company to maintain more control over its operations and decision-making processes.īeing a private company also means that Signal Snowboards does not have to disclose its financial information to the public, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Signal Snowboards is a private company, meaning that it is not publicly traded on the stock market. Is Signal Snowboards a Private or Public Company? Some believe that it is a marketing strategy to create an air of mystery around the brand, while others think that it may be a way to protect their privacy. So why do the owners of Signal Snowboards keep their identity a secret? There are several theories and speculations about their reasons, but the truth remains unknown. ![]() ![]() ![]() A couple of workout examples used by the Marauders:Ī.

SPEED/SPEED ENDURANCE/SPECIAL ENDURANCE 1 & 2 An explanation of each and sample training sessions are included. First, let us review speed and speed endurance. One of the first tasks for the coach is to blend the correct amount of speed, speed endurance, and special endurance 1 and 2 into a total training package. But while there are many differences and some can be very problematic, there are also many commonalities in the training for the two events. The coach is essentially being asked to teach toward two quite different models. The challenges are numerous and they can be difficult. Most are collegiate hurdlers and typically designate one of the races as their specialty by the time they reach the post-season.Īlthough a hurdler may select a primary event, that doesn’t change the task that a hurdle coach will face if he is asked to design a training program for the dual hurdler. We are seeing fewer and fewer hurdlers who train and compete in both the sprint hurdles and the intermediate hurdles. We live in a world of specialization and track & field is no different.

For example, if you sprinted for 30 seconds, you should rest for 90 seconds, if you sprint for 60 seconds, rest for 3 minutes.īefore doing sprint exercises, 5-10 minutes of warm-up run and dynamic stretching exercises should be applied. You can run at the same speed many times, but for every 1 second you run, you should rest 3 seconds. Remember that you need rest between sprints so your body can recover. Otherwise, you may feel nauseous or dizzy. You need adequate rest time between each sprint to maximize your speed and allow oxygen to return to your muscles. Sprinting is a high-intensity interval training that will consume all the oxygen in your muscles.
