Contacts are willing to be your phonebuddy or to sponsor you. You get access to phone meeting numbers, websites, and email addresses to contact people who weigh andmeasure. This serious picture book with humor will delight. The artistMercedes McDonald works in true concert with the editorsto create a picture book that gently instructs. Like Aesop's Fables, the attitudes of the cups and scales strike lightning quick insights.They show the trickery we can play and the shifting thoughts thatcan lead toward or away from right action - with food and with life.Cups & Scales does for the problem eater what the popular Stools& Bottles does for the alcoholic. It looks at the attitudes. Thecups and scales are characters; the illustrations are in full color.Over the years a practice has grown up where many peopleweigh and measure their food as part of a personal plan ofrecovery from compulsive overeating, food addiction, anorexia, bulimia, emotional eating and other eating disorders. Thereare many women and men recovering who DO NOT weigh andmeasure their food. The authors take no position on weighing andmeasuring food. There are many strong feelings about it. Thisbook is neither endorsed by nor sponsored by any organization.Here you will learn about weighing and measuring food andemotions. It is not the cups and scales or weighing and measuring thatmakes my recovery. It is my perspective toward the cups andscales and life that helps make life manageable and joyous.Cups & Scales have more to do with a spiritual program than atfirst look. What do I bring to food and life with my attitudes -- towardquantity, big eyes, magical thinking, fear, ruts, startingsomething with hope, self-nourishment, moving forward. Myperception about an activity affects the act itself - fear, self-pity, wanting it to be more than it is, fighting it, getting tired of it, getting clarity about how it is helpful, trying a new experience.Often my actions affect my well-being for the day. When I amat peace with my food and my emotions, I can be at peace withothers. When can I be on a "dry drunk" even when using cups andscales to weigh and measure food? What do cups and scales have to tell me? Let's look.

Braunschweig (DE) and Greifensee (CH), The Authors Summer 2009 Foreword Since its founding in 1875, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) has had a unique role in mass metrology. The definition of the kilogram depends on an artefact conserved and used within our laboratories. The mass embodied in this - tefact defines the kilogram, and this information is disseminated throughout the world to promote uniformity of measurements. Although the definition of the kilogram may change in the re- tively near future, reflecting the success of new technologies and new requirements, the task of ensuring world-wide uniformity of mass measurements will remain.

Download or read book Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-02-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many questions about the mathematical preparation teachers need. Recent recommendations from a variety of sources state that reforming teacher preparation in postsecondary institutions is central in providing quality mathematics education to all students. The Mathematics Teacher Preparation Content Workshop examined this problem by considering two central questions: What is the mathematical knowledge teachers need to know in order to teach well? How can teachers develop the mathematical knowledge they need to teach well? The Workshop activities focused on using actual acts of teaching such as examining student work, designing tasks, or posing questions, as a medium for teacher learning. The Workshop proceedings, Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching, is a collection of the papers presented, the activities, and plenary sessions that took place.
Download or read book Between Making And Knowing Tools In The History Of Materials Research written by Joseph D Martin and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is indexed in Chemical Abstracts ServiceThis book offers a comprehensive sketch of the tools used in material research and the rich and diverse stories of how those tools came to be. We aim to give readers a sense of what tools materials researchers required in the late 20th century, and how those tools were developed and became accessible. The book is in a sense a collective biography of the components of what the philosopher of science, Ian Hacking, calls the 'instrumentarium' of materials research. Readers should gain an appreciation of the work materials researchers put into developing and using such tools, and of the tremendous variety of such tools. They should also gain some insight into the material (and hence financial) prerequisites for materials research. Materials research requires funding for the availability and maintenance of its tools; and the category of tools encompasses a broad range of substances, apparatus, institutions, and infrastructure.Between Nature and Society: Biographies of Materials (Part of A World Scientific Encyclopedia of the Development and History of Materials Science)
Download or read book Honest Weight written by Bob Terry and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-05-24 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honest Weight is the 20th century story of Toledo Scale, beginning with their fight in the first decade for weights and measures laws to outlaw dishonest scales. In narrative form, it tells the living history of the company, beginning with the founder after he was dramatically fired by National Cash Register Company. Henry Theobald then started a scale and cash register company to compete with his old boss, the legendary John Patterson of NCR. It’s the story of the inventors, leaders, craftsmen and technical breakthroughs, beginning in the first year of the 20th century up to current times. Included is the story of the innovative sales techniques developed by Theobald that led to tight-fisted merchants being willing to spend four and five times as much for a Toledo “No Springs—Honest Weight” scale than for the scale it replaced. This led to Toledo becoming the best known scale brand in the nation. It includes the story of how a plastic came to be developed for Toledo Scale under the leadership of the company’s second president Hubert Bennett that led him to establish a separate, wholly owned company. This company, Plaskon, became the largest plastic company in the United States for a brief time. It tells of Toledo Scale’s World War II contributions in which the company played a top-secret part in the production of the Norden bombsight and the atomic bomb. The story includes quotations from both retired company executives and current employees. It includes information obtained from an unpublished factual manuscript covering the company’s first 50 years, other company archives and the Toledo Blade. A dozen historical photos are displayed, which include the first DeVilbiss computing scale, a Toledo Cash Register, and a Phinney scale which was the first patented computing scale. A few Phinney scales were manufactured in 1870. Since Toledo Scale couldn’t locate one to prove they were actually manufactured, they lost a huge lawsuit to Dayton Scale that almost broke the company. Also shown is a photo of Norman Bel Geddes’ 1929-30 radical designs of a new factory and plant campus for Toledo Scale, never built due to the depression. The story includes the transition to electronic scales begun by the company’s third president Harris McIntosh. This transition was completed in the final quarter of the century. And finally, the human story that resulted from the evolution of several different ownership’s is told, until just a few years ago, Toledo Scale disappeared as a separate brand and was merged into Mettler-Toledo, Inc.

Download or read book Ancient Engineers Inventions written by Cesare Rossi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-03-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an age in which one can easily think that our generation has invented and discovered almost everything; but the truth is quite the opposite. Progress cannot be considered as sudden unexpected spurts of individual brains: such a genius, the inventor of everything, has never existed in the history of humanity. What did exist was a limitless procession of experiments made by men who did not waver when faced with defeat, but were inspired by the rare successes that have led to our modern comfortable reality. And that continue to do so with the same enthusiasm. The study of the History of Engineering is valuable for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it can help us to understand the genius of the scientists, engineers and craftsmen who existed centuries and millenniums before us; who solved problems using the devices of their era, making machinery and equipment whose concept is of such a surprising modernity that we must rethink our image of the past.
