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.

Choosing a Time Management Technique That Works for You -- Additionally added
Whether you’re a full-time student, a working student or a parent going back to school, better time management skills are vital to living a balanced life. If you have a habit of leaving things until the last minute, try using Parkinson’s Law or the eat that frog method. If you have a hard time focusing on the task at hand, try the Pomodoro technique of working more intensely in short intervals.Mastering time management will set you up for success in all areas of your life and will help you avoid test anxiety when finals roll around. At USAHS, we emphasize supporting our students in their personal and professional lives. We help you develop the tools and additional resources you need to succeed in our graduate degree programs.

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.

Edited 9 Types of Time Management Techniques
Edited -- Achieving work life balance is possible with effective time management. Learning time management tips will not only help you manage your time better but also boost personal productivity. With that said, here are some time management strategies you can try:
1. Pareto Analysis (a.k.a., the 80/20 rule)
The 80/20 rule is a technique created by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. It’s the idea that 20% of actions are responsible for 80% of outcomes. The goal of Pareto analysis is to help you prioritize tasks that are most effective at solving problems.
2. Pomodoro Technique
The Pomodoro Technique was created by entrepreneur and author Francesco Cirillo. This technique uses a timer to break down your work into intervals. Each interval is known as a Pomodoro, named after the tomato-shaped timer that Cirillo created.
3. Eisenhower Matrix
Before Dwight Eisenhower became president in 1953, he served in the U.S. Army as an Allied Forces Commander during World War II. He was faced with difficult decisions every day that led him to invent what is now called the Eisenhower matrix, or the urgent-important matrix.
4. Parkinson’s Law
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.
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.
6. Getting Things Done (GTD) Method
Created by author David Allen, this process helps you get things done by recording tasks on paper and then breaking them down into actionable work items.
7. Rapid Planning Method (RPM)
“RPM” stands for “rapid planning method” or “result, purpose, and massive action plan.” It was developed by motivational speaker Tony Robbins as a way to train your brain to focus on a vision of what you want so you can make it real.
8. Pickle Jar Theory
This theory helps you figure out what is useful and what is not useful in your daily life. It allows you to plan tasks with time to spare and set priorities for your day.
9. Eat That Frog Technique
This technique is named after a Mark Twain quote: “Eat a live frog the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” Start your day by doing the most onerous tasks first and getting them out of the way.

History of Agile -- edited
In 1957, people started figuring out new ways to build computer programs. They wanted to make the process better over time, so they came up with iterative and incremental methods.
In the 1970s, people started using adaptive software development and evolutionary project management. This means they were adjusting and evolving how they built software.
In 1990s, there was a big change. Some people didn't like the strict and super-planned ways of doing things in software development. They called these old ways "waterfall." So, in response, lighter and more flexible methods showed up.

The IoT-Based Smart Farming Cycle
The core of IoT is the data you can draw from things and transmit over the internet. To optimize the farming process, IoT devices installed on a farm should collect and process data in a repetitive cycle that enables farmers to react quickly to emerging issues and changes in ambient conditions. Smart farming follows a cycle similar to this one:
1. Observation . Sensors record observational data from the crops, livestock, soil, or atmosphere.
2. Diagnostics. The sensor values are fed to a cloud-hosted IoT platform with predefined decision rules and models—also called "business logic"—that ascertain the condition of the examined object and identify any deficiencies or needs.
3. Decisions . The user and/or the machine learning-driven components of the IoT platform assess the revealed issues to decide if location-specific treatment is necessary.
4. Action . After end-user evaluation and action, the cycle repeats from the beginning.

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.

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.

Phospholipids
Phospholipids are a type of lipid, therefore they are formed from the monomer glycerol and fatty acids
Unlike triglycerides, there are only two fatty acids bonded to a glycerol molecule in a phospholipid as one has been replaced by a phosphate ion (PO43-)
https://www.savemyexams.com/a-level/biology/ocr/17/revision-notes/2-foundations-in-biology/2-2-biological-molecules/2-2-8-lipids-structure--function/
As the phosphate is polar it is soluble in water (hydrophilic)
The fatty acid ‘tails’ are non-polar and therefore insoluble in water (hydrophobic)

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.
