These days, the answer to the question, "Should we prioritize academics or social-emotional learning in schools?" is a firm, "Yes to both." Literacy, math, and other academic skills are essential for children's lifelong success. But without intentional social-emotional development, students may not learn how to process their emotions and connect with others in healthy ways. That's where mindfulness can come in.

MOUNTAINS: We live in a beautiful world. by Spencer Eltringham
English | May 10, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B094NG191H | 50 pages | PDF | 49 Mb
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. A mountain differs from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is larger than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges.Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, and through erosion by rivers and glaciers.High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains tend to be used less for agriculture and more for resource extraction, such as mining and logging, and recreation, such as mountain climbing and skiing.The highest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest in the Himalayas of Asia, whose summit is 8,850 m (29,035 ft) above mean sea level. The highest known mountain on any planet in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft).

Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time: In Construction Contracts, Third Edition By Brian Eggleston(auth.)
2008 | 404 Pages | ISBN: 1405118156 | PDF | 4 MB
Liquidated damages and extensions of time are complex subjects, frequently forming the basis of contract claims made under the standard building and civil engineering contracts. Previous editions of Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time are highly regarded as a guide for both construction industry professionals and lawyers to this complex area. The law on time and damages continues to develop with an increasing flow of judgments from the courts. Alongside this, the standard forms of contract have also developed over time to reflect prevailing approaches to contractual relationships. Against this background a third edition will be welcomed by construction professionals and lawyers alike. Retaining the overall approach of the previous editions, the author clarifies, in a highly readable but legally rigorous way, the many misunderstandings on time and damages which abound in the construction industry. The third edition takes account of a large volume of new case law since the previous edition was published over ten years ago, includes a new chapter on delay analysis and features significantly expanded chapters on penalty clauses, the effects of conditions precedent and time-bars, and the complexities of causation.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-15): Chapter 2 Time in Contracts (pages 16-40): Chapter 3 Damages for Late Completion (pages 41-70): Chapter 4 Liquidated Damages and Penalties (pages 71-130): Chapter 5 Prevention (pages 131-155): Chapter 6 Legal Construction of Liquidated Damages Clauses (pages 156-169): Chapter 7 Effects of Determination (pages 170-174): Chapter 8 Problems with Sectional Completion (pages 175-178): Chapter 9 Application to Sub?Contractors (pages 179-187): Chapter 10 Recovery of Liquidated Damages (pages 188-208): Chapter 11 Defences / Challenges to Liquidated Damages (pages 209-235): Chapter 12 Extensions of Time (pages 236-264): Chapter 13 Relevant Events (pages 265-284): Chapter 14 Causation and Concurrency (pages 285-301): Chapter 15 Programmes, Method Statements and Best Endeavours (pages 302-312): Chapter 16 Delay Analysis (pages 313-324): Chapter 17 Building Forms (pages 325-336): Chapter 18 Civil Engineering Forms (pages 337-355): Chapter 19 Process and Plant Forms (pages 356-371): Chapter 20 FIDIC Conditions of Contract 1999 (pages 372-378):

Lewis Acids in Organic Synthesis By
2000 | 1005 Pages | ISBN: 3527295798 | PDF | 25 MB
The use of Lewis acids in organic synthesis, especially in catalysis is one of the most rapidly developing fields in synthetic organic chemistry. In addition, Lewis acid catalysis is one of the key technologies for asymmetric synthesis, and combinatorial chemistry as well as for large-scale production. Until now, pertinent information on these topics was scattered throughout the literature. Although review articles have appeared,it was difficult for the researcher to compare different methods based on Lewis acids. This two-volume handbook, edited and written by an outstanding team of experts in the field, fills this gap! This book is based on a classification according to metal centre of these electron-deficient compounds, allowing an in-depth treatment of the characteristics, benefits and limitations of each class of acid. Extensive cross-referencing and a comprehensive index enables readers to quickly find the solution to their synthesis problem. The chemical community will welcome this as a source of inspiration and invaluable reference for daily work.

Infinity: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) by Ian N. Stewart
English | July 23, 2017 | ISBN: 0198755236 | True PDF | 144 pages | 14.3 MB
Infinity is an intriguing topic, with connections to religion, philosophy, metaphysics, logic, and physics as well as mathematics. Its history goes back to ancient times, with especially important contributions from Euclid, Aristotle, Eudoxus, and Archimedes. The infinitely large (infinite) is intimately related to the infinitely small (infinitesimal). Cosmologists consider sweeping questions about whether space and time are infinite. Philosophers and mathematicians ranging from Zeno to Russell have posed numerous paradoxes about infinity and infinitesimals. Many vital areas of mathematics rest upon some version of infinity. The most obvious, and the first context in which major new techniques depended on formulating infinite processes, is calculus. But there are many others, for example Fourier analysis and fractals.

Christopher Hager, "I Remain Yours: Common Lives in Civil War Letters"
English | ISBN: 0674737644 | 2018 | 352 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
When North and South went to war, millions of American families endured their first long separation. For men in the armies―and their wives, children, parents, and siblings at home―letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Yet for many of these Union and Confederate families, taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task. I Remain Yours narrates the Civil War from the perspective of ordinary people who had to figure out how to salve the emotional strain of war and sustain their closest relationships using only the written word.
