Using a Multiplication Table: Overview
The groundwork for multiplication was laid earlier for students when they used objects, number lines, and arrays to multiply. See Using Arrays to Show Multiplication Concepts. Students are now ready to use their understanding of multiplication to explore number patterns. A multiplication table is an excellent tool for discovering patterns.
Look at the multiplication table below. The numbers along the left side and the top are factors. The numbers inside are products.
Use the multiplication table below to locate the product of 9 and 7. Find the row for 9 and the column for 7. The number in the square where the row and column meet is the product.
9 x 7 = 63
The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. Use the multiplication table below to locate the product of 7 and 9.
7 x 9 = 63
Following is one of the more dramatic multiplication patterns that you can help students discover by using a multiplication table. The products of two factors that are the same form a pattern. The table below shows the product of 6 and 6.
6 x 6 = 36
Note that a square is formed. The product of any number multiplied by itself is called a square number. Since 6 x 6 = 36, 36 is a square number.
The multiplication table below shows all the square numbers to 100. Notice that the squares form a diagonal across the multiplication table. Notice also that the products on one side of the diagonal mirror the products on the other side.
Students can explore square numbers as well as other patterns by using multiplication tables. Following are some of the other patterns your students will discover.
The products in the row and column for some factors are double the products in the row and column for other factors. Explore with students how the relationships between the factors in the rows and columns affect the relationship between the products of those factors. For example, since 8 is the double of 4, the products in the row for 8 are double the products in the row for 4.
The products in the rows and columns for 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 alternate between even and odd numbers.
The sum of the digits in each product for the multiples of 9 is 9.
Students should be given a lot of practice using multiplication tables. They will use them again when they divide. See Multiplication Tables and Fact Families.
Once students understand how to multiply two factors, they are ready to proceed to multiplying three factors. While this may sound challenging to students at first, they will discover that by grouping factors together, it is really quite easy.
Parentheses are grouping symbols that tell which operations to perform first. The factors 1 and 3 are grouped together in the multiplication sentence below.
(1 x 3) x 5 = 15
3 x 5 = 15
This time, the factors 3 and 5 are grouped together.
1 x (3 x 5) = 15
1 x 15 = 15
You see that changing the grouping of factors does not change the product. This is called the Associative Property of Multiplication. Students should grasp the Associative Property of Multiplication easily because it works in much the same way as the Associative Property of Addition, which they studied earlier.

Learning Outside
Thoughts from Janet Knott, Headteacher at
Selborne CE Primary School
I am very interested in outside learning and providing opportunities for children to learn in a variety of ways and environments. Much is heard these days about forest schools, whether it be a school set up as a forest school or it be a mainstream school which has adapted their curriculum to encompass parts of the forest school ethos and activities at times during the week. It is possible to train and take qualifications in forest school leadership to support this style of learning in school. I recently came across a small article on the LOtC website about a 'Beach' School. The Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (CLOtC), formally assumed responsibility and leadership for learning outside the classroom from the [then] Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) on the 1st April 2009. They promote learning outdoors in whatever format.
The article was a case study of Ysgol Glan Gele, an infant school in Abergele, Conwy who engage in 'Beach School'. Their case study can be found at
it is a short article that is well worth reading to find out about ways in implementing learning outside. Ysgol Glan Gele have achieved a LOtC Gold award for their approach to learning outside.
This case study made me re-evaluate our outside learning provision taking a holistic view of what we have available both on site and in the local area, it has become clear that there is so much we could do to consolidate and extend learning by using the children's basic skills in a range of outdoor activities. While keen to train teachers in Forest School provision, I am sure that we can quickly adapt our curriculum to make even better and productive use of our resources thereby engaging the children further in their learning, while going through the training process. The 'Learning Environment', in its widest sense, is now part of our school improvement plan. I would recommend the
LOtC website
to all educationalist as it is full of inspiration on how to provide the best learning opportunities for our young people.
If you are bitten by the bug of outdoor education and want to invest further in a Forest School qualification, the FTSA are running training programmes.

Today we had time to prepare for Philly Materials Day, an engineering event at Drexel University for people of all ages. Julia will be demonstrating 3D Printing and Scanning which looks extremely interesting. This technology may even be integrated into our own Virtual Reality research down the road.
In other news, our meetings have been going great. Our team aims to align a virtual simulation of our creation around the same time that a teacher relays a difficult concept or lesson. The reasoning behind this is so we can fully assess the effectiveness of our simulation.
So far we've met with a mathematics teacher regarding geometric mean, circles, and more. We also met with an educator who teaches anatomy, emergency care, etc.
The meetings continue but so far, our prospects look promising!

Alberta Health Services
We were initially approached in November 2015 to design a helpful infographic to easily and effectively communicate the flow of the QHI Curriculum.
The QHI Curriculum is a system that promotes self-improvement for the individual and corporate processes. Improving the flow of information between staff members, departments and even patients.
Alberta Health Services, prior to contacting us, had a long document version detailing the full QHI Curriculum, however it had been through many revisions and was overly complicated. They required a one page document/graphic that took into consideration all the revisions and time invested in the establishing the document and boil it to simple process of improving corporate processes.

Review: Jolen Creme Bleach
Hola chickadees, another beauty product up for review today. Jolen Creme Bleach* is one of those classics, though I have to admit to never trying it before. It's a gentle bleaching product that can be used on the face to lighten unwanted hair. A great alternative to more permanent solutions such as lasering or waxing and it can also be used to lighten eyebrows.
It comes boxed, with a 125ml jar of creme and 30g accelerator powder in a tub. There's instructions inside and a plastic spatula and mixing mat. It's easy to follow; mix 1/4 teaspoon of powder to 1/2 teaspoon creme or basically 1:2 (powder:creme). Though it's simple, I do find it a little bit of a fiddle mixing the two together on the card provided. It's easy enough to measure out the correct quantities, it's just the mixing part I'm not keen on. That could be due to me doing it in the bathroom with nowhere to sit and balancing all the products in different places!
Once you have your mixture, it's a mousse type texture. You apply it using the spatula and leave on for 10 minutes (cue rubbish phone photos of the process below). There's absolutely no stinging on the skin as it lightens the hair and I have no redness or irritation afterwards, which is brilliant. I did find where I was more heavy handed, the creme began to slip and slide off during the 10 minutes, so I had to adjust that. Obviously it's something you'd have to be very careful with if you were bleaching your brows (you don't want this slipping into your eyes), though I suspect the mass of hairs in your brow would hold the creme better.
I have lightened my brows before (not using this), when I had bleached blonde hair. My brows though thin, are very dark and dense, so they looked silly with the lighter hair colour. I chose to keep the mixture on very briefly to just lighten them a few shades. However if it's that editorial 'no brow' look you want, then you'd leave it for the full 10 minutes. You would just have to play around to get the look you want. As for my face, well this side-by-side before and after looks pretty impressive. I wouldn't usually let the hair get so dark and obvious beforehand, but I really wanted to put this product to the test. As you can see, it worked brilliantly.
I felt it looked pretty natural, turning the hairs to the colour of the really tiny baby hairs around my bottom lip or elsewhere, rather than glowing yellow or something! The shorter hairs practically disappear into the skin, the longer ones at the corner of my mouth are more visible, but a million times better than they looked before. I did see the odd...well I can't tell if it is a missed hair or the root of the hair that didn't quite turn when the rest did. Very sporadic though. I find it doesn't last too long, maybe 5 days, but it varies massively depending on the light you're standing in. I was ready to apply more today because it looked so terrible, yet in another room, there was nothing to see. I suppose if you've been bleaching your brows, it's good it doesn't last too long, if it's for a special shoot or party and you want your real brows back quickly.
So overall I think the product works well, I do wish there was an easier way of mixing the two ingredients together, though the steps are simple enough to follow, the powder especially feels fiddly. The fact this is so gentle and non-irritating on the skin, would have me buy it again. I wish the results were a little longer lasting, but it does what it says. I like that it's an alternative (and completely painless) to removing the hair entirely, especially if you're using it around the hairline, where at some point you may no longer wish to hide that hair or of course if you're using it to lighten your brows temporarily. I wish I didn't have to use it all to be honest, but nobody tells you these things will become part of your regular routine when you're younger! If you're under 30, you have no idea that your chin will start producing very dark and thick random hairs, which when plucked, magically reappear to embarrass you the following day (honestly I swear this happened the moment I turned 30). It's tough being a woman, right? Have you used this before? How do you remove unwanted hair? You can buy Jolen here or here.

it really looks natural.but same as you,I wish for longer lasting <3ReplyDeleteReplies
I wrote this in previous comment but it got vanished(?) somehow :oDelete
well,I've tried laser and wax but it all causes irritation once in a while (depending on my skin condition) so I tend to leave hair just how it is unless for special occasion</3
Btw,have you ever tried product from "MAKEUP REVOLUTION LONDON"?
I'm kind of interested to trying them out since they've started selling in Japan as well :3
and I think some of their packaging looks pretty nice and they're nice price<3
obviously I would love you to review if you are interested or already have tried their product.
No, but I really need to try their stuff. They look like they have a lot of interesting lip products (it's usually lip products that pull me into a brand). Inexpensive too.Delete
Wowee your comments cheer me up!
Unfortunately I've had to disable anonymous comments for now, due to a high volume of spam.

The Isolated Power supply +5 V to +15 V, 500 mA diagram represents a single control block, knowing that all are identical. It is truly classic, and is based on the use of common components. The Isolated Power supply +5 V to +15 V, 500 mA circuit described below is a "modification" that is designed to accommodate all the modules on a single circuit board.
Both terminals J1 and J2 (AC1 and AC1 ') is from secondary AC transformer. The AC voltage undergoes a wave rectification through four diodes D1 to D4 connected in a bridge, this voltage then filtered by capacitor C1. Values used in the diagram is 1000UF, may be increased to 2200 uF if the output ripple proved too big for your application. Voltage regulation is entrusted to the LM317 regulator IC, is slightly higher quality than its counterparts 78xx, but especially with the advantage that can be adjusted and able to work well over a wide output range. The capacitor C2 is optional, but it contributes significantly to the reduction of output ripple, therefore it is highly recommended. Two diodes D6 and D7 is also optional and only play a protective role is not always necessary at low currents. he output voltage is determined by the value of two resistors forming a voltage divider between output and ground, and whose midpoint is connected to the pin fitting U1.
Calculation of the output voltage
The DC output voltage is available between J3 and J4, is given by the following formula:
Vs = 1.25 * (1 + (R5 / (R6 + RV1))) – for adjustable voltage
Vs = 1.25 * (1 + (R5 / Rx)) – for fixed voltage
In this second formula, Rx must be replaced by R1, R2, R3 or R4.
For the adjustable version, you can completely customize the values of R6 and RV1 to limit possible variation range. This approach also allows you a more precise adjustment of the output voltage.
Selection of the transformer
The voltage to be issued by each secondary will depend on the voltage you want in the output of the regulator. Note that nothing preventing you from using a transformer with double secondary (two sidefully isolated) to supply simultaneously two control modules. Avoid as much as possible to choose a secondary voltage that is too high compared with the desired output voltage, this to prevent excessive heat dissipation of the regulator. If you want a power supply of +9 V and +15 V for another, use two separate transformers, one with a 9V secondary and the other with a 15V secondary voltage.
This Isolated Power supply circuit is designed to deliver an output voltage adjustable (adjustable by potentiometer) or fixed (determined by the fixed value resistors). You must choose which method you prefer, but should not use both at the same time! The components used for the part are adjustable RV1 and R6, whereas it is the fixed resistors R1 or R2 or R3 or R4 (depending on whether the single jumper will be placed on SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4). In summary:
– Mode adjustable: cable R6 and RV1, and ignore R1, R2, R3 and R4 and SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4.
– Fixed Mode: cable R1, R2, R3 and R4, SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, and ignore R6 and RV1.

Wheatley, Vincent (2005) On the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in magnetohydrodynamics. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-05272005-145538
The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is important in applications including inertial confinement fusion and astrophysical phenomena. In some applications, the fluids involved are plasmas and can be affected by magnetic fields. For one configuration, it has been numerically demonstrated that the growth of the instability is suppressed in the presence of a magnetic field. Here, the nature of this suppression is theoretically and numerically investigated. In ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics, we examine the stability of an impulsively accelerated perturbed density interface in the presence of a magnetic field initially parallel to the acceleration. This is accomplished by analytically solving the linearized initial value problem, which is a model for the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. We find that the initial growth rate of the interface is unaffected by the magnetic field, but the interface amplitude then asymptotes to a constant value. Thus the instability is suppressed. The interface behavior from the model is compared to the results of compressible simulations. We then consider regular shock refraction at an oblique planar density interface in the presence of a magnetic field aligned with the incident shock velocity. Planar ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations indicate that the presence of the magnetic field inhibits the deposition of vorticity on the shocked contact, which leads to the suppression of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. We show that the shock refraction process produces a system of five to seven plane waves that intersect at a point. In all solutions, the shocked contact is vorticity free. These solutions are not unique, but differ in the type of waves that participate. The equations governing the structure of these multiple-wave solutions are obtained and a numerical method of solution is described. Solutions are compared to the results of simulations. The limit of vanishing magnetic field is studied for two solution types. The relevant solutions correspond to the hydrodynamic triple-point with the shocked contact replaced by a singular wedge whose angle scales with the applied field magnitude. The shock-induced shear across the wedge is supported by slow-mode expansion fans within it, leaving the shocked contact vorticity free. To verify these findings, an approximate leading order asymptotic solution was computed.

The absence of pay or play penalties and related reporting in 2014 may increase the number of employees buying health insurance on an exchange with federal premium assistance in 2014.

- 12/7/2012The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released final regulations on the excise tax imposed on the sale of certain medical devices (the Device Tax) under the Affordable Care Act.

In the sixties I picketed at a local grocery store, urging folks not to buy lettuce. I talked about the lettuce boycott so much that people called me "Sister Lettuce." IWith a group I visited the headquarters of Jewel in the Chicago area to help them understand which lettuce to buy and not buy. I leafleted in IL and MIN, visited Chavez' headquarters in CA with a group of BVMs, supported the boycotts as they came along, The NFWM headquarters were in the same building on the same floor where I worked in Chicago for awhile. I went to the gathering at Mundelein College, Chicago when Cesar Chavez came to speak. A few years ago a group gathered outside at a fast foods restaurant to build support for an increase for tomato pickers. When I visit the National Museum of Mexican Art, the farm worker exhibit brings back many memories.
Happy anniversary!

Tomorrow I will be 33 weeks pregnant. Baby may possibly be here 7 weeks from now. These next couple of weeks I have a long To Do list and the key things that I will be sharing with you here … Continue reading
Bump Watch: What To Do If You Go Overdue!
One of the topics we covered on our antenatal retreat with expert midwife Nikki Khan is what to do if your pregnancy goes past 40 weeks.
This is particularly relevant for me at the moment as I await the late arrival of friends' and family members' babies.
A full term of pregnancy is actually anything between 38 and 42 weeks though our due date is always in the 40th week. It is therefore not unreasonable that people get frustrated if the day comes and goes and there is no baby to be found.
The due date that we are given is only an estimate worked out by our dates or from a dating scan. In reality just five percent of babies are born on their actual due date. As long as all is well with you and the baby you will be left for nature to take its course but will be closely monitored.
As you approach the 41 to 42 week mark, your midwife or doctor may decide to start the process of inducing labour. This involves kick-starting labour through intervention or with drugs.
The first step would be to try a membrane sweep. The midwife or doctor will try to separate the membranes around your baby from your cervix. This encourages the release of the hormones that help to trigger labour. If the sweep is successful labour usually starts within 48 hours.
Nikki Khan Top Tip
A clenched fist under each buttock can make internal examinations easier and less painful. Also gives midwfie easier access for sweep or trying to break waters while maximising comfort for the mummy to be in an awkward uncomfortable procedure. A tens machine can also be used to ease examinations and sweeps.
If a sweep is not successful then you will be offered gel or pessaries to medically stimulate the cervix.
Once the cervix begins to soften then a midwife might try to break your waters to bring labour on.
There is no guarantees with any of these procedures and it may be that a caesarean section becomes the best and safest course of action available for you and your baby.
Before things get that far though there are certain things that you can do if you do go overdue.
Things People Try
Raspberry leaf tea can kick start labour and should only be drunk from week 37 to avoid a premature birth.
It is thought that a hot curry will induce labour but what it actually does is cause diarrhoea which in turn sparks uterine contractions. It has to be a very hot curry!
It is also claimed that having sexual intercourse will bring on labour. In fact for this method to have even a slight chance of working you would need to have sex about 8 times to get the right amount of hormone from the sperm to stimulate the cervix and bring on a birth.
Gentle exercise and walking may help to bring on labour as being upright and moving around may encourage the baby to move down in the pelvis. This would also help you to relax which could help your body prepare for labour.
You can also have acupuncture to start contractions and labour.
Other ideas for what to do if you are overdue can be found in the book My Pregnancy. It is a great read and full of ideas for trying to get your baby out. It also goes on to give good advice on what to during the birth and once your baby is here. Definitely worth a look if you still have some time.
The ideas I have stated here were shared as part of the Nikki Khan Antenatal Weekend that we went on this weekend. It was fabulous and I learned so much that I know is going to help me through this pregnancy, labour and birth. You can find out more about the antenatal weekend here and I will be writing a full review of the weekend here at Edspire over the next couple of days.
I will also be writing a review of the book My Pregnancy which we were given as part of a very generous goody bag on the course.
Did you go overdue? What did you do? What tips would you give me to share with my patiently waiting friends?

If you have some network-shared space that can hold an intermediate (compressed) copy of the image (via nfs, smb, or ssh) the easy approach is to boot from the clonezilla-live CD, connect to the storage location, and save the copy from your source machine, then repeat and restore it on the target(s). This is also a handy way to keep snapshot backups of dual-boot laptops etc. when making changes. You can also do disk->disk copies from the clonezilla-live boot if you can install them in the same box or connect with a USB adapter cable. Dd can be used but it will copy the whole disk. Clonezilla knows enough about most filesystems to only copy the used parts. (It's basically a linux boot with scripted, menu driven partimag, ntfsclone, etc. tools). A USB boot works as well or better than the CD, and if you do a lot of cloning you can add drbl to a server (it's packaged for centos and easy to install) to provide PXE network booting into clonezilla which comes up with the server already NFS mounted for access to the images. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes With Simon Cowell's Right-Hand Woman
The joint production of Cowell's Syco and Optomen will be called Food, Glorious Food! and air on ITV1. Described on its web site as "the biggest ever search for Britain's best-loved recipe," it will "scour the country in search of one very special dish" made by an amateur cook.
The winner will get a chance to get their recipe on the shelves of retail giant Marks & Spencer and win £20,000 ($31,000).
Production is expected to start next month once a host is found, with the show expected to kick off next February, according to the Guardian.
The show will shine the spotlight on home-cooked meals, which Cowell is known to enjoy.
STORY: Why Gordon Ramsay's 'Hell's Kitchen' Is Still Hot After All These Years
The show's web site describes the series this way: "Every recipe tells a story. And every family has a special recipe that tugs at your heart strings, makes you smile, brings back memories and sums up all that's great about food. Now it's time to share that dish with the nation!"

The Costly Issues of Two or More Operating Systems in a School
Thinking about how iPads create finacial and privacy issues for schools.
Protecting a child's identity, location and online history from exploitation and surveilance by Apple and it's third party apps is a huge job that falls within the responsibilites of the school. The iPad isn't designed to make the job of protecting the child easy. It is designed for single person use outside of institutional structures. The iPad is designed as a consumer product and though it is often hyped as being an educational tool, the control of this tool remains largely in the hands of Apple. That means, the inner workings, and data flow, remain largely out of the control of the educational authority. Even though the iPad is purchased to be the property of the Educational Authority, it is controlled by Apple, the proprietary company, who remains in control of how an iPad can be used, what software is allowed to be used, who can use it, and how much privacy...Read more

After all, it takes at least a couple of years to write your thesis, under conditions that neither work nor personal problems distract you. Unfortunately, such conditions are almost unrealistic.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to get the dissertation and receive a confirmation immediately. It is important to consult with the professor about the thesis work, in order to make correct adjustments and edits, it is still important to have time to do everything before the pre-defense. Usually, such work can be corrected 2 to 10 times. Everything depends on the strictness and exactitude of the supervisor.
For example, the thesis on economics includes the process of writing the speech for defense. It is also important to prepare illustrative material or a handout, as well as a presentation. The text of the defense report includes a brief description of the problem and its solution. You as an expert should prove to the commission that your recommendations will be effective for the solution of the tasks set. In the handout, you must include graphics and tabular material, and then print the copies in sufficient quantities for the commission.
Our help with dissertation also includes preparing of such materials in conformity with your request. As a result, the commission will take into account not only your knowledge but also how marrowy and accessible the material was presented. You can also order a thesis without handouts, or buy a ready-made paper.
If you are searching for a company and still asking a question who is able to write my dissertation, you are at the right place.
