I think Judy Willis does a great job explaining why teachers need to provide students with background knowledge when they introduce a new text.
I created this mini-poster using ComicLife software and a screen capture from a movie trailer.

The Nebraska National Guard’s 110th Multifunctional Medical Battalion hosted the Tricia Lynn Jameson Medic Challenge, Aug. 16-18, 2019, near the Camp Ashland Training Site. The annual challenge tested squads of National Guard and Reserve Soldiers on the skills required to operate as an Army combat medic by replicating frontline trauma on the battlefield and stressing medics to work under pressure. The challenge included Soldiers from three units: the Nebraska Army National Guard’s 313th Medical Company (Ground Ambulance) and 195th Forward Support Company (Special Operations) (Airborne), and the U.S. Army Reserve’s 7246th Medical Support Unit. More than 100 Soldiers were present for the challenge either as a participant or in a support role. The competitors rotated through exercise lanes, testing teams on tactical combat casualty care, casualty evacuation, communication, and warrior skills. All Soldiers also completed a timed, 6-mile foot march and a written test. The challenge tests medical knowledge through practical application in preparation for Expert Field Medical Badge training and to develop confidence in an operational environment. Formerly known as the Squad Medic Challenge, it was officially renamed in 2018 in honor and memory of Sgt. 1st Class Tricia Jameson, 34, a Nebraska Army National Guard medic assigned to the 313th Medical Company, who was killed when a roadside improvised explosive device exploded near her Humvee ambulance on July 14, 2005, while coming to the aid of wounded Marines in western Iraq. The 313th Medical Company deployed to Iraq in late 2004. Midway through the deployment, the unit requested replacements and Jameson volunteered. Prior to the deployment, she was a full-time healthcare specialist at the Medical Clinic at the Nebraska National Guard air base in Lincoln. (Nebraska National Guard photo by Spc. Lisa Crawford)
Students learned their color words in Spanish then completed an art activity. In addition, students were reminded about the elements of art and different lines. Students combined their content area knowledge (Spanish) with elements of Art lesson. This lesson is art integrated, because it meets dual learning objectives in Art and Spanish.
“A Little Knowledge… goes a long way”…
An elemental is a creature, usually a spirit that is attuned with or composed of one of the four classical elements: air, water, earth, and fire. The elements balance each other out through opposites: water quenches fire, fire boils water, earth contains air, and air erodes earth. Elementals care for, guard, and protect the environment.
Initially, fairies (fairies, fey) were not considered elementals, but are now grouped with and considered elementals because they guard and protect the environment.
Fairies, like crows, cats, squirrels, and I, love to collect brightly colored and shiny things; things of nature; nature’s castoffs; found objects; and little treasures of all kinds such as glass, buttons, twigs, etc. There is nothing that compares to spending an afternoon searching, hunting, and looking for found objects.
Wondrous, enchanted, and magical places to find these treasures exist everywhere. Once found, finding a secret place to squirrel them away is very important. It can be a bottle, an old tin, the hollow of a tree, a bird’s nest or a hole in the ground.
My elemental bottles, filled with found objects, are made to encourage you to “gently” shake them. Gentle shaking will, obviously, reposition the inside found objects and give you a new perspective on them. Much like life… sometimes it is a good idea to shake things up, do something new or take a different path in order to gain new insights, ideas, spark your imagination, stimulate creativity, and see things differently.
This is an air elemental bottle kissed by the earth. The silver glitter star top with the dangling heart, suggestive of the Heavens, the multiple different colored feathers inside, obviously, from birds, which fly, and once their feathers fall off, they float, as well as the postage stamp, let us know this was initiated by an air elemental. However, air enlisted the help of an earth elemental in collecting the found objects inside, which speak to and for the earth: the fallen twigs, the tree bark, the acorn cap, and the pieces of metal for grounding.
This is my original idea and creation. It is not to be copied in any way or in any medium.

Pulse Front: Relational Architecture 12 is the new searchlight piece by acclaimed Mexican-Canadian electronic artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The groundbreaking installation uses 20 robotic searchlights, 200,000 watts of power and includes displays up to 20 metal sculptures positioned along Toronto's harbour. Each piece is installed with a biometric sensor. When a participating spectator grabs the handles on the sculpture the sensors convert their pulse into beams of light in the sky, visible up to 15 kilometers away. The life force of honoured guests at the TELUS-hosted event will launch the beating matrix of searchlights.
"In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground." - Douglas Adams
This is my image representation of the above quote by Douglas Adams. I interpreted the word "fly" as success and the word "ground" as fail. So to me, the phrase means that if you wish to succeed, you mustn't fail. In life, many associate success with careers. And the base of all careers require knowledge. Acquiring that knowledge means taking one step at a time, and just "missing the ground" with each try. Knowledge is power and with this power, the chances of failure are reduced significantly giving us the ability to "fly" in one way or another.
Who is Fernando? Well, to put it briefly, Fernando is somewhere between "The Most Interesting Man in the World" and The Beyonder. Fernando is a man of mystery, intrigue and sophisticated debauchery. Ever the stalwart travel companion, if an adventure is to be had, rest assured Fernando will be at your side. Having traveled infinite light years in efforts to satiate his child-like curiosity and lust for knowledge, long before inhabiting his current "body", he has traveled at least five thousand miles (hey - that's a lot with those little legs). Most recently the hands he lost in The Great War, (better known as The Dark Ages), so long ago have been reattached. We can rebuild him...we have the technology. And so he journeys on with an unquenchable thirst for adventure and never-ending quest for understanding.
Aeres University of Applied Sciences (Food, Nature & Urban Green) Almere
At the start of the 21/22 academic year, the new building of the green education and knowledge institution Aeres Hogeschool Almere was taken into use on one of the main roads to Floriade Expo 2022. A healthy, inspiring working and learning environment in an energy-neutral, climate-adaptive and circular building. The design reflects both the sustainable identity of the education of the faculty in Almere and the central theme of the upcoming world horticultural exhibition: 'Growing Green Cities'. 'Green' is therefore an important building block for the new building with different types of green walls, plants and trees, moves through the building like a landscape, from entrance to roof. The greenery stimulates the senses and, as part of the living lab, also has an educational value; students in Almere conduct research into urban food supplies and healthy living in the green city and into the way in which greenery in the school contributes to learning performance.
Aeres is the first school in the Netherlands to go for the Platinum WELL certificate. The abundant living greenery itself has many positive effects on the indoor climate. In addition, other relevant factors such as daylight, ventilation, thermal comfort, acoustics, movement and the use of non-toxic materials have also been optimized. Users can control their own lighting, climate and sun protection for each room. Building performance is continuously monitored and controlled by an intelligent building management system. The inspiring interior is also a translation of the educational vision and sustainability ambitions. The functional and varied mix of learning, working and consultation spaces facilitates activity-oriented education, research and project-based and individual work.
The new Aeres University of Applied Sciences is a smart energetic building with smart skin; Depending on the position and orientation, the facades have different properties. For example, PV panels on the west side also provide solar shading in addition to generating energy. The east side, oriented towards the tree garden of the Floriade site, is completely green and changes color with the seasons. The lively nature-inclusive green roof is both a pleasant living space and an inspiring learning and experimental area. A shaded roof of semi-transparent PV panels protects the students from the sun and reduces the heat in the school. Collected rainwater also serves as a heat/cooling buffer and provides watering for the greenery on and around the building. This saves 50% tap water. In keeping with the sustainable ambitions for the new university of applied sciences, we have incorporated various circular materials into the building, such as biocomposite facade cladding, concrete granulate, recycled wood for the grandstand stairs, decking and outdoor furniture and recycled metal studs for the inner walls. In turn, the demountable design itself enables future reuse of materials registered with Madaster.

Transporting an old Scrap VW.
An excellent example of the type of commercial vehicle, that tends to last the longest: single-car transporters working for small workshops and scrapyards in the countryside. With technical knowledge and easy access to spare parts, they can be kept alive almost infinitely. This old Mercedes spent over 6 years inactive, from 2005 to 2011, before being revived once again for 4 more years. When retired in autumn 2015, it was almost 28 years old!
Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" - here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.
Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
