This presentation outlines an upcoming classroom project called "Culture Shock!" that will compare and contrast aspects of lifestyle between the American Revolution period and modern times. Over the course of two weeks, students will research clothing, schooling, gender roles, and other topics to learn about daily life in the past. They will then work collaboratively in groups to create skits that highlight at least five differences between the eras. The goal is for students to better understand history while developing creativity, problem solving, communication and other skills.

Nanocrystalline cellulose for controlled release of drugs.tacomeauDal
The document summarizes an interview with Dr. Helen M. Burt about her research using nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) for drug delivery. Some key points discussed include:
- NCC shows potential for high drug payloads and controlled drug release due to its large surface area and negative surface charge.
- Surface modification of NCC allows altering drug loading and release. Target diseases include topical delivery for wound healing and implantation in surgical sites.
- Hydrophobic drugs bind to NCC coated with a cationic surfactant, while hydrophilic drugs bind ionically via surface charge interactions.
- Further research is needed to optimize drug binding, controlled release properties, and evaluate biocomp

The document provides an overview of the origins and early history of Israel based on textual and archaeological evidence. It discusses the multiple sources of the biblical narratives, including the J, E, D, and P documents, and debates around their dating and authenticity. Key areas of debate are highlighted such as the emergence of the Hebrews/Israelites, whether the conquest of Canaan was a military invasion or gradual settlement, and problems with inconsistencies in the biblical texts. Modern biblical scholarship is considered in evaluating this evidence.

The document discusses how the context in which mobile devices are used has become increasingly complex and unpredictable. Guidelines from a few years ago around mobile design being context-driven are now outdated, as mobile and Internet-connected devices have proliferated and their uses have diversified. Over 5 billion people now own mobile devices, which for many are their primary or only means of Internet access. This shift has dramatically changed user behavior and expectations.
