As Jacob walked down, he saw the same dull gray walls imprisoning him and the rest of the people in this unit with him. ‘The Creator is behind all this,’ Jacob thought. The Creator was a man who looked and talked just as any other human in the unit, but everyone knew inside his human form was everything but human. He was a cold, calculating computer that tracked the every move of the unit. The Creator controlled everything and there were rumors that he would do nasty things to the people who spoke

Unit PO8-777Z logged his first memory in a dark factory filled with the sounds of mechanical whirring and the chirp of computers. There was a window in the corner, where the only source of light beamed radiantly into the tenebrous cavern below. The sharp smell of vinegar and other cleaning agents permeated the air. The air smelled of oil, along with burning metal and rubber. Unit PO8-777Z did not experience any of this; he did, however, understand that he was missing a great many things. As his
heat treatment process to attain desirable properties, for example strength and hardness. Quenching means to rapidly cool a material. But this rapid cooling can cause some serious distortions in the material. In steels, the transformation phases and thermal gradients are the main causes of this distortion. It has become an industry objective to reduce this distortion caused by heat treatments. Ideally, controlling the quenching process by changing the heat boundaries to minimize the distortion with the
1. Which actions by the teacher seemed to support student engagement and understanding? During the explain portion of the 5E lesson, Dr. Bradbury supported student engagement and understanding by asking higher level thinking questions; evidence for this can be seen in sections .35-1:15 min and 9:19-11:26 min of the video.

The Study of Distances – Parallax How is trigonometry used in the real world? Trigonometry is actually very significant in the real world, as there are various different real life applications of trigonometry, especially in astronomy. Trigonometric parallax can be used to measure the distance between two objects. Parallax, in general, is the way that objects appear to be moving when they are viewed from different positions. For example, if someone looks out of a window in a moving vehicle, trees
You may not realize this, but tonneau covers and truck bed covers are not the same thing. This confuses even long-time pickup truck owners, which is understandable. After all, the differences between the two are fairly minute. That being said, they are large enough to warrant some degree of discussion, especially if you’re trying to decide which to purchase.
