Natural resources gifted by god -- Edited
Natural resources are the raw materials and sources of energy that we use. Petrol, metals, soil, sand, wind, water, and everything in between are natural resources. Manufactured items such as plastic, sheet metal, fabrics, microchips, electricity and concrete are not natural resources, but are most definitely derived from natural resources.

Petrol, metals, soil, sand, wind, water and everything in between are natural resources. Manufactured items such as plastic, sheet metal, fabrics, microchips, electricity and concrete are not natural resources, but are most definitely derived from natural resources.
Think about the relationship between natural resources and manufactured products. In essence, we call them “natural” resources because they are things human society uses that are created (or were created in the case of fossil fuels) without human intervention.
Perpetually Renewable Resources
Perpetually renewable resources are the easiest resources to understand; these are natural resources that are constantly replenished by the Sun’s and Earth’s natural processes. For example, every day the sun delivers an average of 198 Watts of energy to every square meter (m
) of the Earth’s surface. For comparison a standard incandescent light bulb in a bedside lamp uses 40 Watts, or a 100kg person climbing a step in 2 seconds uses roughly 200 Watts. Every day without fail for the last 5 billion years (plus or minus a few hundred million years) the Sun has delivered this solar energy.
Together with geothermal energy (heat from the Earth’s interior), the Sun’s perpetual energy powers the winds, ocean currents, precipitation and most of the Earth’s plant life. Solar and geothermal natural resources currently energise a significant and growing percentage of many nations’ electrical grids. It is perpetually renewable in the sense that no matter how much we use in terms of human time-scales (e.g decades to millennia), the Sun and the Earth will always make more.
Intermediate Renewable Resources
Intermediate renewable resources are only renewable resources if we don’t use them too quickly. They are resources such as freshwater, soil, crops and trees for timber. If we didn’t use them, they would be perpetually renewable, but because they require time (on human time-scales) to regenerate or grow, we can overuse them until they are no longer available.
Freshwater is a great example of an intermediate renewable resource. Through the water cycle, the sun evaporates water from the surface of saltwater oceans that travels over land and falls back to earth as freshwater rain. This rain fills the lakes, rivers and aquifers we use for agriculture, industry and drinking water. If we use this freshwater at the same rate as the rain recharging it, then we won’t run out. If we use the freshwater faster than it recharges, then we will. Intermediate renewable resources must be carefully managed to ensure they are not depleted.
Non-renewable Resources
The last category of natural resources are the non-renewables. These are resources that will not regenerate on human time-scales. Once they have been depleted they will no longer be available and no more will be made. The most common examples of non-renewable resources are fossil fuels, so-called because most were created by processes that take millions of years. Fossil fuels include crude oil, natural gas, coal and uranium. Other non-renewable resources include metals, lithium and rare-Earth elements (REE’s), but it’s important to remember that while we may eventually run out of mineable metals and REE’s, with careful waste management, these can be recovered through recycling. However, it is not the same for fossil fuels as using them for energy alters their chemistry so they are no longer useful.

Parent group playlist by admin: Key aspects of API testing:
Direct interaction:
API tests send requests directly to API endpoints and analyze the responses to ensure they meet expected outcomes. This involves checking status codes, response times, and the structure and content of the data returned.
Focus on business logic:
API testing primarily validates the underlying business rules and data flow within an application, independent of the user interface.
Early defect detection:
By testing APIs early in the development lifecycle, issues can be identified and resolved before they become more complex and costly to fix in later stages.
Automation potential:
API tests are highly automatable, allowing for frequent and efficient execution, which is crucial for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
Types of API tests:
This can include functional testing (verifying core functionality), performance testing (measuring response times under load), security testing (identifying vulnerabilities), and integration testing (ensuring seamless communication between APIs and external services).

What are the 12 Agile Principles? -- edited
The Agile Alliance defines 12 lightness principles for those who need to attain agility:
Our highest priority is to satisfy the client through early and continuous delivery of valuable computer software.
Welcome dynamic necessities, even late in development. Agile Processes harness modification for the customer’s competitive advantage.
Deliver operating computer software often, from a pair of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business individuals and developers should work along daily throughout the project.
The build comes around actuated people. offer them the setting and support they have, and trust them to urge the task done.
the foremost economical and effective methodology of conveyancing info to and among a development team is face-to-face speech.
Working with computer software is the primary life of progress.
Agile processes promote property development. The sponsors, developers, and users will be able to maintain a relentless pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and smart style enhances nimbleness.
Simplicity—the art of maximizing the number of work not done—is essential.
the most effective architectures, necessities, and styles emerge from self–organizing groups.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on a way to become simpler, then tunes and adjusts its behavior consequently.

About
Teaching Commons: “an emergent conceptual space for exchange and community among faculty, students, and all others committed to learning as an essential activity of life in contemporary democratic society” (Huber and Hutchings, 2005, p.1) What Is the #iteachmsu Commons? You teach MSU. We, the Academic Advancement Network, The Graduate School, and The Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology, believe that a wide educator community (faculty, TAs, ULAs, instructional designers, academic advisors, et al.) makes learning happen across MSU. But, on such a large campus, it can be difficult to fully recognize and leverage this community’s teaching and learning innovations. To address this challenge, the #iteachmsu Commons provides an educator-driven space for sharing teaching resources, connecting across educator networks, and growing teaching practice. #iteachmsu Commons content may be discipline-specific or transdisciplinary, but will always be anchored in teaching competency areas. You will find blog posts, curated playlists, educator learning module pathways, and a campus-wide teaching and learning events calendar. We cultivate this commons across spaces. And through your engagement, we will continue to nurture a culture of teaching and learning across MSU and beyond. How Do I Contribute to the #iteachmsu Commons? Content is organized by posts, playlists and pathways.
Posts: Posts are shorter or longer-form blog postings about teaching practice(s), questions for the educator community, and/or upcoming teaching and learning events. With an MSU email address and free account signup, educators can immediately contribute blog posts and connected media (e.g. handouts, slide decks, class activity prompts, promotional materials). All educators at MSU are welcome to use and contribute to #iteachmsu. And there are no traditional editorial calendars. Suggested models of posts can be found here.
Playlists: Playlists are groupings of posts curated by individual educators and the #iteachmsu community. Playlists allow individual educators to tailor their development and community experiences based on teaching competency area, interest, and/or discipline.
Pathways: Pathways are groupings of educator learning modules curated by academic and support units for badges and other credentialing.
There are two ways to add your contribution to the space:
Contribute existing local resources for posts and pathways: Your unit, college, and/or department might already have educator development resources that could be of use to the wider MSU teaching and learning community. These could be existing blog posts on teaching practice, teaching webinars, and/or open educational resources (e.g classroom assessments, activities). This content will make up part of the posts, playlists, and pathways on this site. Educators can then curate these posts into playlists based on their individual interests. Please make sure to have permission to share this content on a central MSU web space.
Contribute new content for posts: A strength of the #iteachmsu Commons is that it immediately allows educators to share teaching resources, questions and events through posts to the entire community. Posts can take a variety of forms and are organized by teaching competency area categories, content tags, date, and popularity. Posts can be submitted by both individual educators and central units for immediate posting but must adhere to #iteachmsu Commons community guidelines. Posts could be:
About your teaching practice(s): You discuss and/or reflect on the practices you’re using in your teaching. In addition to talking about your ideas, successes, and challenges, we hope you also provide the teaching materials you used (sharing the assignment, slidedeck, rubric, etc.)
Responses to teaching ideas across the web or social media: You share your thoughts about teaching ideas they engage with from other media across the web (e.g. blog posts, social media posts, etc.).
Cross-posts from other teaching-related blogs that might be useful for the #iteachmsu community: You cross-post content from other teaching-related blogs they feel might be useful to the #iteachmsu community.
About teaching-related events: You share upcoming teaching related events as well as their thoughts about ideas they engage with events at MSU and beyond (e.g. workshops, conferences, etc.). If these events help you think in new ways about your practice, share them with the #iteachmsu community.
Questions for our community: You pose questions via posts to the larger community to get ideas for their practice and connect with others considering similar questions.
What Are the #iteachmsu Commons Policies?Part of the mission of the #iteachmsu Commons is to provide space for sharing, reflecting, and learning for all educators on our campus wherever they are in their teaching development. The commons is designed to encourage these types of interactions and reflect policies outlined by the MSU Faculty Senate. We maintain the right to remove any post that violates guidelines as outlined here and by MSU. To maintain a useful and safer commons, we ask that you:
Follow the MSU Guidelines for Social Media.
Engage across the #iteachmsu commons in a civil and respectful manner. Content may be moderated in accordance with the MSU Guidelines for Social Media.

British historian Cyril Northcote Parkinson became famous for the phrase “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, the amount of time you give yourself to complete a specific task is the amount of time it will take you to complete that task.
How it works:
This is not a time management technique per se. It’s a law that, when understood, can be applied as one of the most beneficial time management methods out there—but you will have to put in the work. That means working more efficiently in shorter bursts of time. Here are some time management tips:
Try working without a computer charger. This will force you to finish a project before your computer dies.
Get it done early. Instead of finishing an essay by midnight, try to get it done by noon.
Set a deadline. Give yourself a set time to do something—and then cut it in half.
Limit time for tasks. Give yourself only 20 minutes in the morning to answer emails.
Types of people this works for:
Procrastinators
People who work well under pressure
5. Time Blocking Method
Inventor Elon Musk is known for being productive. He manages his time so efficiently that he can work over 80 hours a week and still make time for himself. What’s his secret? Time blocking.
Types of people who will benefit from the Eisenhower Matrix:
People in leadership positions
Critical thinkers

Natural resources gifted by god --- Edited
Natural resources are the raw materials and sources of energy that we use. Petrol, metals, soil, sand, wind, water, and everything in between are natural resources. Manufactured items such as plastic, sheet metal, fabrics, microchips, electricity and concrete are not natural resources, but are most definitely derived from natural resources.

Petrol, metals, soil, sand, wind, water and everything in between are natural resources. Manufactured items such as plastic, sheet metal, fabrics, microchips, electricity and concrete are not natural resources, but are most definitely derived from natural resources.
Think about the relationship between natural resources and manufactured products. In essence, we call them “natural” resources because they are things human society uses that are created (or were created in the case of fossil fuels) without human intervention.
Perpetually Renewable Resources
Perpetually renewable resources are the easiest resources to understand; these are natural resources that are constantly replenished by the Sun’s and Earth’s natural processes. For example, every day the sun delivers an average of 198 Watts of energy to every square meter (m
) of the Earth’s surface. For comparison a standard incandescent light bulb in a bedside lamp uses 40 Watts, or a 100kg person climbing a step in 2 seconds uses roughly 200 Watts. Every day without fail for the last 5 billion years (plus or minus a few hundred million years) the Sun has delivered this solar energy.
Together with geothermal energy (heat from the Earth’s interior), the Sun’s perpetual energy powers the winds, ocean currents, precipitation and most of the Earth’s plant life. Solar and geothermal natural resources currently energise a significant and growing percentage of many nations’ electrical grids. It is perpetually renewable in the sense that no matter how much we use in terms of human time-scales (e.g decades to millennia), the Sun and the Earth will always make more.
Intermediate Renewable Resources
Intermediate renewable resources are only renewable resources if we don’t use them too quickly. They are resources such as freshwater, soil, crops and trees for timber. If we didn’t use them, they would be perpetually renewable, but because they require time (on human time-scales) to regenerate or grow, we can overuse them until they are no longer available.
Freshwater is a great example of an intermediate renewable resource. Through the water cycle, the sun evaporates water from the surface of saltwater oceans that travels over land and falls back to earth as freshwater rain. This rain fills the lakes, rivers and aquifers we use for agriculture, industry and drinking water. If we use this freshwater at the same rate as the rain recharging it, then we won’t run out. If we use the freshwater faster than it recharges, then we will. Intermediate renewable resources must be carefully managed to ensure they are not depleted.
Non-renewable Resources
The last category of natural resources are the non-renewables. These are resources that will not regenerate on human time-scales. Once they have been depleted they will no longer be available and no more will be made. The most common examples of non-renewable resources are fossil fuels, so-called because most were created by processes that take millions of years. Fossil fuels include crude oil, natural gas, coal and uranium. Other non-renewable resources include metals, lithium and rare-Earth elements (REE’s), but it’s important to remember that while we may eventually run out of mineable metals and REE’s, with careful waste management, these can be recovered through recycling. However, it is not the same for fossil fuels as using them for energy alters their chemistry so they are no longer useful.

Parent group article by admin: Key aspects of API testing:
Direct interaction:
API tests send requests directly to API endpoints and analyze the responses to ensure they meet expected outcomes.This involves checking status codes, response times, and the structure and content of the data returned.
Focus on business logic:
API testing primarily validates the underlying business rules and data flow within an application, independent of the user interface.
Early defect detection:
By testing APIs early in the development lifecycle, issues can be identified and resolved before they become more complex and costly to fix in later stages.
Automation potential:
API tests are highly automatable, allowing for frequent and efficient execution, which is crucial for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
Types of API tests:
This can include functional testing (verifying core functionality), performance testing (measuring response times under load), security testing (identifying vulnerabilities), and integration testing (ensuring seamless communication between APIs and external services).

By Chathu: Fish Farming article
Fish farming is an ideal business idea for investors with available land, and it doesn’t always require a large body of water. You can start a fish farm either by creating fish ponds or investing in fish tanks; it’s a highly scalable business idea. Once you have the proper knowledge of fish raising, you will be able to decide the type of fish to raise. According to FinModelsLab, a well-run fish farm can produce a return on investment (ROI) of 15% to 40% annually, with many fish farmers achieving a full return on their investment within three to five years.
Fish such as tilapia, cod, trout, and catfish are popular because they are easy to raise and in high demand. Small-scale farms are the usual suppliers of fish in their local supermarkets and restaurants.
Other popular varieties of commercially-raised fish include:
Yellow Perch
Eel
Grass Carp
Tuna
Salmon
Not all fish are raised for food. Goldfish and koi are popular fish to farm as well. For non-food fish, focus on cultivating premium species that will fetch a higher price when you sell. Whether you are raising fish for food or not, adopting sustainable farming practices will be better for both your business branding and your long-term operational costs.
The decision as to which fish you want to raise will ultimately rely on your skill, financial capacity, market demand, and agro-climatic condition. This refers to the normal soil types, rainfall, temperature, and water availability that affect the type of vegetation in the area.

Child group article by chathu: Dual Crop Farming
Dual crop farming or multiple cropping can be either mixed cropping or intercropping.
Mixed cropping refers to raising two or more types of crops in the same area at the same time. This increases the probability that at least one type of crop will survive even if the entire area experiences adverse conditions such as drought.
Intercropping is similar, but with the addition of planting seeds in a specific pattern or sequence in the field. This allows farmers to maximize yield or productivity and the space available.
Dual crop farming is very popular among farmers because it optimizes the use of equipment, soil, water, and farming supplies; it also maximizes the production of a small farm all year round.
Farmers like that it reduces the risk of total loss from calamities, drought, pests, and diseases. Some good examples of multiple cropping are growing strawberries and watermelons in Florida or wheat and soybeans in addition to corn and canola in the Carolinas.

Posted on: Wireframes-- edited
Edited--Wireframes are basic blueprints that help teams align on requirements, keeping UX design conversations focused and constructive. Think of your wireframe as the skeleton of your app, website, or other final product. Your wireframe shows the design team and stakeholders the bare-bones outlines of essential webpages, components, and features, including:
Screen layouts
Navigation bars
Components of UX and UI design
Interactive elements
At the early stages of design, low-fidelity wireframes rely on lorem ipsum text and simple boxes as placeholders for images and videos. This helps the design team, copywriters, and other team members to focus on basic functionality to align around the right direction.
Starting with a clean, spare wireframe design also gives UI/UX designers room to iterate. They can collect early feedback from user testing on core UX/UI elements, without distracting users with visual design details. Design teams try out different concepts, user flows, and templates as they work toward the ultimate user experience.

Welcome dynamic necessities, even late in development. Agile Processes harness modification for the customer’s competitive advantage.
Deliver operating computer software often, from a pair of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business individuals and developers should work along daily throughout the project.
The build comes around actuated people. offer them the setting and support they have, and trust them to urge the task done.
the foremost economical and effective methodology of conveyancing info to and among a development team is face-to-face speech.
Working with computer software is the primary life of progress.
Agile processes promote property development. The sponsors, developers, and users will be able to maintain a relentless pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and smart style enhances nimbleness.
Simplicity—the art of maximizing the number of work not done—is essential.
the most effective architectures, necessities, and styles emerge from self–organizing groups.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on a way to become simpler, then tunes and adjusts its behavior consequently.

Rural Agriculture Small Farm Ideas
A tree nursery can be a great investment when done right. Most farmers start with 10 to 20 seedlings on a small plot and, with the right marketing strategy, have the baby trees sold out before they mature. Seedlings run from 15 cents to $1.60 per tree, a sapling of two years can sell for $20 to $100, and a fully-grown tree can get you $1,000 or more—making for a large profit, if you have the time to wait.
Spend some time researching how to organically source the trees you want to grow. Fruit tree propagation, for example, can be done by grafting or budding (joining parts from multiple plants), and this increases your chances of producing the same variety of trees as opposed to using seeds.
If you have 10 or more acres, experience growing trees, and the right climate, Christmas tree farms can be a profitable option. You need to watch the trees as they grow, pruning them to make sure they are healthy and bushy for the holidays.

Child group content by Chathu: “Start an adopt-a-tree program. This allows farmers to do what they do best—grow things. To start, you’ll need to have a simple website. But if you run a farm, you should have one anyway. The next thing you’ll need are the actual trees and the tools to plant them. Invest in a good-quality camera to take pictures of the trees for the people adopting them. Take pictures when you plant them and as they grow to use as proof that you planted the trees. Finally, have certificates printed up to show adoption of the trees and ones that are to be given as a gift or memorial.”

Join the DSL Graduate Arts Fellow, Hailey Becker (Art, Art History and Design and Forestry) in a workshop on using 360 cameras to capture changes to place. Participants will be guided through the basics of recording and editing 360 footage, ending with their footage being displayed in the Digital Scholarship Lab 360 Room. Using 360 footage can be a great way to archive an artistic practice or scientific research. No experience required, all levels welcome!
