Summary: Students with learning disabilities have always been present in our school settings. Unfortunately for many‚ many years it was an "invisible condition" that was not supported by educators and parents. No doubt little was known about why a child had a reading disability‚ now known as being dyslexic; or a writing disability now labeled dysgraphic. Many children even suffered from dyscalculia‚ a math disability. But think about the many years of frustration and embarrassment so many students

horizontally into a 96 g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact‚ the block slides 7.5 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.60‚ what was the speed of the bullet immediately before impact? You have to use the conservation of the total energy of the system to do this problem: Initially‚ you have‚ in the total of your system‚ a bullet that is moving at a certain speed and a block that is stationary: Initial

126 (2001) MATHEMATICA BOHEMICA No. 1‚ 237–246 BLOCK DIAGONALIZATION J. J. Koliha‚ Melbourne (Received June 15‚ 1999) Abstract. We study block diagonalization of matrices induced by resolutions of the unit matrix into the sum of idempotent matrices. We show that the block diagonal matrices have disjoint spectra if and only if each idempotent matrix in the inducing resolution double commutes with the given matrix. Applications include a new characterization of an eigenprojection

watched 3 videos related to intercultural communication problems that can happen in real-life. We also read about Barna’s Stumbling Blocks in Intercultural Communication which is deeply related to the videos. The first video on the baseball player eating with a Japanese coach’s family had many examples of the “stumbling blocks.” First of all‚ there is the assumption of similarities from the beginning of the video‚ which is the first and the longest stumbling block mentioned in the article. The assumption

and solution: writer’s block The main problem that I face right now and that I feel secure enough to talk about is having writer’s block. For those who don’t know what this is; writer’s block is when you can’t write and remain in a slump without being able to finish anything you were writing. This problem has made me frustrated and stressed. It has led to my assignments being late and leaves me uncertain about whether they’re done properly or not. Unfortunately writer’s block is a problem I often
