  • Better recipes on the web: Introducing recipe rich snippet
    Webmaster Level: All https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2010/04/better-recipes-on-web-introducingAnticipating the start of the season of barbecues and potlucks, we've added recipes as our newest rich snippets format. This means that for certain sites with recipe content, Google users will see quick facts when these recipe pages show up as part of the search results.For example, if you were searching for an easy to make thai mango salad, you can now see user ratings, preparation time, and a picture of the dish directly in search result snippets.

  • Here are several of these practices: Giving Directions Many students with ADHD have trouble following directions. Here are some guidelines that might help address this problem. Number of Directions: Give a minimal number of directions or steps at a time. If necessary, have students repeat the directions to the teacher or a peer partner. Form of Directions: Provide written directions or steps, or a visual model of a completed project. Teach students how to refer to these items as reminders of process steps to complete tasks. This strategy is particularly helpful for long-term projects.

  • ADHD and School interventions
    School interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of bothpreventive and intervention strategies.    Interventions must be based upon assessment data that includes information about the student’s strengths and needs as well as the environmental conditions in which her characteristics of ADHD occur.    Progress monitoring and strategy adjustments are critical to the success of any intervention plan (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010).   The first step in creating classroom supports for students with ADHD is understanding thestudents’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well ascollaboration among educational professionals and the students’ families.    If a student is not responsive to behavioral strategies and interventions, more intensive interventions, such as functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans, should be considered (see Practical FBA).    No one intervention is universally effective for all students with ADHD. A combination of research-based and promising practices is recommended.  Here are several of these practices:

  • Ecosystem Services: Examples
    Without ecosystem services, life on Earth as we know it wouldn’t exist. There are four main categories of ecosystem services: Provisioning services refer to the products secured by ecosystems. These include:   • Water • Food (including cattle and seafood) • Pharmaceuticals, biochemicals, and industrial products • Energy (sunlight, hydropower, biomass) Regulating services are the ecosystem services that allow the regulation of ecosystem processes such as: • Climate regulation (and carbon absorption and storage via the oceans, trees, soil) • Waste decomposition (one of the most essential microbial process happening in soil) • Crop pollination (performed by agents such as bees that contribute to the reproduction of flowering plants) • Water and air purification and regulation • Control of pests and diseases Supporting and habitat services refer to the ability of ecosystems to give habitat for migratory species and to support the viability of gene-pools.This is possible thanks to: • Primary reproduction • Nutrient and seed dispersal Cultural services are the benefits ecosystem services bring to humans. Examples of these are: • Inspiration for intellectual (creativity), cultural (entertainment) and spiritual (why) purposes    – Remember how it feels good to seeing and hearing wild birds    – Animals, plants and even the funghi kingdom serve as inspiration in theaters, movies…    – Many people go to natural sites when they want to be alone or reflect about life • Recreational experiences such as outdoors activities or ecotourism

  • Pyramid of Biomass
    The Biomass Pyramids show the amount of biomass (living or organic matter present in an organism) present per unit area at each trophic level. It is drawn with the producers at the base and the top carnivores at the tip. Pyramid of biomass is generally ascertained by gathering all organisms occupying each trophic level separately and measuring their dry weight. Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time called standing crop, which is measured as the mass of living organisms (biomass) or the number in a unit area. Upright Pyramid of Biomass Ecosystems found on land mostly have pyramids of biomass with large base of primary producers with smaller trophic level perched on top, hence the upright pyramid of biomass.

  • Food web is a network of interconnected food chains. It comprises all the food chains within a single ecosystem. It helps in understanding that plants lay the foundation of all the food chains. In a marine environment, phytoplankton forms the primary producer.

  • Why Is Preserving Ecosystems Important?
    All other living beings, humans are dependant on natural ecosystem services to survive. We need it to get the food we eat, the water we drink and to transform raw materials into our everyday products. So in order to keep our living conditions, it’s truly important that we preserve natural ecosystems. For example, the agriculture that provides our food depends on the characteristics of a specific ecosystem. Cereals or vegetables grow only under certain conditions of temperature and humidity. They also need certain natural processes, such as pollination, to take place. If we change these characteristics too intensely, there is the risk that we aren’t able to produce what we produce today, or at least not in the same way. That’s why there are some agricultural techniques that understand and manage food production
