About these lesson plans and resources This lesson plan was developed by Lisa M. Algee, an Environmental Education Ph D student at the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC). Lisa runs a site called Kids Connected to Conservation and Culture which focuses on educating the next generation about environmental issues, such as deforestation, and what we can do as global citizens to curb these detrimental effects. Agriculture Deforestation Logging Mining ... Cattle ranching What is mining? Mining is the extraction (removal) of minerals and metals from earth. Manganese, tantalum, cassiterite, copper, tin, nickel, bauxite (aluminum ore), iron ore, gold, silver, and diamonds are just some examples of what is mined. Why mine? Mining is a money making business. Not only do mining companies prosper, but governments also make money from revenues. Workers also receive income and benefits. What are the minerals and metals used for? Minerals and metals are very valuable commodities. For example, manganese is a key component of low-cost stainless steel. It is also used to de-color glass (removing greenish hues), but in higher concentrations, it actually makes lavendar-colored glass. Tantalum is used in cell phones, pagers, and lap-tops. Cooper and tin are used to make pipes, cookware, etc. And gold, silver, and diamonds are used to make jewelry. Large scale mining versus small scale mining: Large scale mining usually involves a company with many employees. The company mines at one or two large sites and usually stays until the mineral or metal is completely excavated. An example of a large scale mine is the Serra Pelada mine in Brazil which yielded 29,000 tons of gold from 1980 to 1986 and employed 50,000 workers (Kricher, 1997).

By forming a query out of the candidate names for each party: (clinton OR obama OR edwards OR gravel OR kucinich) (giuliani OR huckabee OR keyes OR mccain OR paul OR romney OR thompson) and combining this with terms that are commonly used around the presidential election: (president OR presidential OR campaign OR election OR primary OR primaries) we can get some understanding of where attention lies at the party level. The graph above suggests that until November both parties were getting a similar amount of attention. Prior to the first batch of primaries, the Republican candidates were getting a little more, but the Democratic race may be proving a more engaging topic than the Republican one. You can play around with this query to see where attention lies for different issues by adding in terms such as +health, +war, +iraq, +immigration, etc.

Eigenbehaviors Machine Perception and Learning of Complex Social Systems Reality Mining defines the collection of machine-sensed environmental data pertaining to human social behavior. This new paradigm of data mining makes possible the modeling of conversation context, proximity sensing, and temporospatial location throughout large communities of individuals. Mobile phones (and similarly innocuous devices) are used for data collection, opening social network analysis to new methods of empirical stochastic modeling. The original Reality Mining experiment is one of the largest mobile phone projects attempted in academia. Our research agenda takes advantage of the increasingly widespread use of mobile phones to provide insight into the dynamics of both individual and group behavior. By leveraging recent advances in machine learning we are building generative models that can be used to predict what a single user will do next, as well as model behavior of large organizations. We have captured communication, proximity, location, and activity information from 100 subjects at MIT over the course of the 2004-2005 academic year. This data represents over 350,000 hours (~40 years) of continuous data on human behavior. Such rich data on complex social systems have implications for a variety of fields. The research questions we are addressing include:

Roman Deep-vein Mining by Lynne Cohen Duncan Table of Contents Introduction Types of Roman Mining Mining Tools Underground workings ... Bibliography Introduction The Romans mined for metals in every part of their empire. They sought both utilitarian metals such as iron, copper, tin, and lead, and the precious metals gold and silver. The desire for mineral resources may even have affected foreign policy. Before he invaded, Caesar knew of the rich tin deposits in Britain, a metal used in the production of bronze and in limited supply elsewhere in the empire [Caesar, 5.12]. Return to Roman Deep-Vein Mining Types of Roman mining Despite these limitations, it is possible to develop a picture of Roman mining. The Romans employed three techniques to recover the metals. Pliny describes them "Gold in our part of the world ... is found in three ways: first, in river deposits. ... No gold is more refined, for it is thoroughly polished by the very flow of the stream and by wear. The other methods are to mine it in excavated shafts or to look for it in the debris of undermined mountains." [XXXIII 66; Humphrey, et al.

Mining IN NEVADA COUNTY EXPLORE FURTHER Becoming California, stories from California Gold Rush History The three types of mining : Placer Placer mining was one of the earliest mining methods discovered by the miners. This type of mining used manual techniques and tools such as sluice boxes, pans, and rockers located near rivers and streams. Placer Mining Coyote Holes Hydraulic Hydraulic mining was the most destructive type, leaving the land unusable as a result. The miners used huge pressure cannon that forced water at the cliffside and washed chunks of rock containing gold from the cliff down into the river where they used placer mining techniques to retreive the gold. Hydraulic Mining First Long Distance Phone Line Hardrock A series of shafts or tunnels dug into the earth. This was used to retreive the gold that was buried underneath the earth's surface. The miners were forced to go underground in order to mine in this manner. Our Visit to the 16 to 1 Mine The Day They Pulled "The Whopper" out of the 16 to 1 Mine.

What Is Text Mining? Marti Hearst SIMS,UC Berkeley hearst@sims.berkeley.edu October 17, 2003 I wrote this essay for people who are curious about the topic of text mining after having read the New York Times article by Lisa Guernsey (10/16/2003) or heard my Future Tense interview with Jon Gordon (10/20/2003). What is text mining? What are its potential applications and limitations? Text Mining is the discovery by computer of new, previously unknown information, by automatically extracting information from different written resources. A key element is the linking together of the extracted information together to form new facts or new hypotheses to be explored further by more conventional means of experimentation. Text mining is different from what we're familiar with in web search. In search, the user is typically looking for something that is already known and has been written by someone else. The problem is pushing aside all the material that currently isn't relevant to your needs in order to find the relevant information. In text mining, the goal is to discover heretofore unknown information, something that no one yet knows and so could not have yet written down.
