Encourage youngsters to get creative with this activity book that illustrates the principles of science-full of fun projects!

Gather some basic tools and supplies from a hardware store, garage, basement, woodshop, or recycling bin. Now get ready to tinker, explore, and engineer with screws, bendy wire, metal washers, plastic pipes, dowels, electronics, LED lights, and more! Makerspace educator Ryan Jenkins inspires kids aged 8 to 12 to look at familiar supplies in new and unexpected ways, to think with their hands, troubleshoot tricky constructions, and sharpen their problem-solving skills. Kids are invited to imagine how to use the supplies on hand with projects, such as building Flexible Forts with cardboard and screws, making Art Robots with hobby motors, constructing a Water Factory with plastic pipes, balancing Sky Trams on strings, and engineering Surprising Switches with wire and foil. As they build, they'll learn about balance, center of gravity, comparative measuring, electricity, and more. Engaging photography jump-starts hours of curiosity and creativity. Start with a string, PVC pipe, cardboard ramp, or flexible tube--and see where it leads!

A runaway trolley is speeding down a track So begins what is perhaps the most fecund thought experiment of the past several decades since its invention by Philippa Foot. Since then, moral philosophers have applied the trolley problem as a thought experiment to study many different ethical conflicts - and chief among them is the programming of autonomous vehicles. Nowadays, however, very few philosophers accept that the trolley problem is a perfect analogy for driverless cars or that the situations autonomous vehicles face will resemble the forced choice of the unlucky bystander in the original thought experiment.

This book represents a substantial and purposeful effort to move the academic discussion beyond the trolley problem to the broader ethical, legal, and social implications that autonomous vehicles present. There are still urgent questions waiting to be addressed, for example: how AVs might interact with human drivers in mixed or hybrid traffic environments; how AVs might reshape our urban landscapes; what unique security or privacy concerns are raised by AVs as connected devices in the Internet of Things; how the benefits and burdens of this new technology, including mobility, traffic congestion, and pollution, will be distributed throughout society; and more.

An attempt to map the landscape of these next-generation questions and to suggest preliminary answers, this volume draws on the disciplines of philosophy, sociology, economics, urban planning and transportation engineering, business ethics and more, and represents a global range of perspectives.

This book was created to help drivers understand how there trucks work and a short understanding of common related items.

The Millennial Manual equips leaders to increase productivity, improve retention, and accelerate the development of their Millennial workforce.

Since Millennials became a majority of the labor force, leaders have found themselves ill-equipped to successfully manage, develop, and engage this unprecedented generation. As a result, Millennials are the most disengaged and least loyal generation at work contributing to annual costs of $500 billion in lost productivity and $30.5 billion in Millennial turnover.

The actionable strategies shared in this book are the result of five years of strenuous research, harvesting the best practices of managing Millennials from thousands of leaders in hundreds of companies. The result is a comprehensive guide to overcoming most of the challenges managers face when leading Millennials-a generation that to outsiders seems to be in constant flux.

In this book, you will learn:

• How to instill work ethic into millennials
• How to eliminate entitlement in a millennial workforce
• How to structure and deliver training that transforms millennials
• How to cure (or curb) millennials' career impatience and job hopping
• How to avoid the top two reasons millennials leave companies
• How to attract millennials with the right company perks
• How to get millennials to answer your phone call
• And forty more proven and practical how-tos

Jesus Christ is preparing a place for His faithful Saints. He will establish a holy city known as Zion, the New Jerusalem. Out of Zion, will be the perfection of beauty, God [will shine]. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. . .. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth. . . Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. -Psalms 50:2-5 Zion must increase in beauty and holiness. . . and put on her beautiful garments. The stakes of Zion must be strengthened. How are we individually and collectively to be strengthened? To put on [Zion's] strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood. -D&C 82:14; 113:8 Surely Zion is the city of Our God, and surely Zion cannot fall, neither be moved out of her place, for God is there, and the hand of the Lord is there. -D&C 97:19 Zion cannot be built unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom, otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself. -D&C 105:5 We are to prepare and sanctify ourselves to gather upon the Land of Zion. To help us become a Zion people, Jesus Christ is providing ordinances and covenants in His holy temples. As we honestly and sincerely keep those covenants a sublime miracle is taking place-in us-in others-and in the buildup to the New Jerusalem. This book will inspire you to be part of the miracle!
