The sinoatrial node (SA node) is embedded in the posterior wall of the right atrium, near the

entrance of the superior vena cava. The SA node is connected to the larger AV node by the internodal pathways in the atrial walls. It takes roughly 50 msec for an action potential to travel from the SA node to the AV node along these pathways. Along the way, the conducting cells pass the contractile stimulus to cardiac muscle cells. The action potential then spreads across the atrial surfaces through cell-to-cell contact.

Any conflict

I’m writing to you from my ship, the USS Abraham Lincoln, keeping station in the North Arabian Gulf (sometimes called the Persian Gulf).

Once again our nation finds itself in conflict. Once again we must take action and send men and women, young and old into danger, which may end in the loss of life. All nations struggle. We have struggled to maintain peaceful resolutions to conflict, however, there are times we must reluctantly engage in war in order to preserve our rights and protect our homeland.

I wonder if people in civilian life understand the causes of conflict in which this nation has been involved. Our first war was fought reluctantly. The effects of that war were historic! It changed life in this country forever. There are similarities and differences between that first war and this current conflict but do people understand the events that took place in 1765 that led to the founding of our nation? Can they connect to effects of war on people and their families? Significant events taking place today are leading down a road to war; the events, which occurred during our first war, had consequences, which shaped the destiny on this nation.

One of the major differences in this current conflict is the way in which technology is used in aggressive or defensive actions and battles. Three hundred years ago men and women in this nation faced battles out-manned and out gunned! What courage that must have taken.

My fellow officers and I believe that people your age can effectively communicate with other young adults. It is important for people at home to understand how the history of our first war shaped our nation just as this present conflict will shape the future of people living in the 21st Century

I have a cousin who knows your teachers as well as your principal. I am willing to help with your presentation for Memorial Day, which explains this important time in our nation’s history to people in Palatine, Illinois and to the students at Virginia Lake School.

Taxation and Government Spending: Where does the money come from?

Taxes on unnecessary things like cigarettes and alcohol should be increased and taxes on food decreased.

The amount of money people earn should determine the percentage of taxes they pay. People who earn more money should pay a larger percentage of taxes than people who earn less.

Everyone should have their own retirement accounts and the government should do away with Social Security.

Journaling Connections...Journaling Connections...Journaling Connections...Journaling Connections...I am really connecting with Niagara Falls again. It is a very beautiful place. In the future, I wish to go there again and take a lot of pictures. As my parents said, “You would make a great photographer, Andrew.” I really enjoy it for its looks (physical characteristics) and the beautiful things people have done with it (human characteristics) like tunnels and stunts. It fits all your vacation needs, great hotels and scenes. Once I see more landmarks I will visit Niagara Falls again.

Earlier this week we made a list of things that were part of physical geography and human geography. The human list largely outnumbered the physical. This has made me realize how much we are changing the environment to suit our (humans) own needs. I have chaanged my environment in my living room to suit my own needs. I moved all the furniture, the treadmill, and the trampoline so I could dance and practice. My mom made me put it all back. I wish we could make humans put at least some of it back.

More connections...More connections...More connections...More connections...I am Spanish, Mexican. In the last week I have learned many things about the Spanish. I have learned that they discovered many lands for Spain, although the Spanish and Mexican had war. They might not like each other, but I am still proud of being Mexican and Spanish. The prejudice doesn’t make me ashamed of being who I am. I keep the Spanish Mexican Blood with the honor.

In Social Studies this week I read an article about the Europeans and Native American trading. I read that a lot of Native Americans were killed by germs that Europeans brought. It reminded me of the virus going around in mosquitoes. My dad told me though, that a lot of people don’t die from that. It makes them real sick, but if they get treated quick they won’t die. I wonder if the Native Americans could have been helped by doctors. I think my dad is a Pathfinder because he always goes out of his way to make sure I know what is going on in the world.

And one more...And one more...

The famous place I’m researching is the Alcazar Castle. My neighbor, who’s from Spain, has visited the castle. Last night, we went over to his house and he gave me some pictures and information about the Alcazar Castle. A think that I thought was very neat that he told me was that Walt Disney World copied the Alcazar castle’s top. I think that my neighbor is a Pathfinder because he told me things I didn’t know about the Alcazar.

Water supply and quality

Water shortages will lead to conflicts• Populations grew near rivers• water is being pumped from aquifers to meet increased demand (enough to

raise sea levels)• populations are growing• aquifers are slow to recharge (15,000 years)• per capita consumption is 2x’s population

• water is scarce if more than 20% of flow diverted for local use

• in 1995, more than 1/3 of world pop. of 5.7+ billion lived in such areas

• 70% of earth’s surface is water, 96.5 is salty; 2% is ice; 1% available• Pakistan and India fight over boundary waters

• Western States compete for water• 22 countries deptendent on water from other

nations (Egypt, Pakistan, India)

• Conservation will be expected in areas that have adequate supplies

• researching inexpensive ways to desalinate seawater should be supported

• limiting population growth should be a priority

Implementing GIST:

1) Ask the students to read a short section of no more than three paragraphs.2) Ask the class to remember important ideas from the passage and list them on the board. 3) Work with the class to condense those ideas into 20 words.4) Ask students to read a second short section. Create a 20-word summary that incorporates information from both the first and second sections.5) If you feel ambitious, have the students repeat the strategy with a third section. http://www.nwrel.org/assessment/lessonplans

Throughout history money has been accepted as payment for goods and services. In this way money determines the relative value of these goods and services. Money is therefore a medium of exchange and a marker of value. Before money, other things were used as a means of exchange – salt, spices, cloth, beads, and shells – and before these things were used as money people bartered what they produced for other products. Barter is still used in some parts of the world, and it is often used by kids as they exchange baseball cards or other items of value. But barter is not very efficient. You have to carry all your goods with you wherever you go and hope that you will find someone with the goods you want to trade for. With money, you can convert your goods into cash that is easy to carry and has accepted value wherever you go. Any goods you wish to trade for can be valued in terms of money, instead of having to keep in mind, for example, that 10 bushels of corn equals one goat, which equals 20 yards of cloth, which equals a dozen nails, etc. Money saves time and effort, and a modern economy would not be possible without it.
