  • Pareto's theory of the distribution still exist as approximately 70% of wealth is owned by about 20% of the wealthiest people, 20 % of wealth owned by 20% middle classes and 10% distributed among the 60% other.

  • Desertification is caused by numerous effects some are natural and others man made. For example overgrazing reduces plant growth and when the top soil of the dry area is eroded the land can no longer produce plants if the condition remains permanent then it is classified as desertification.
    Deforestation by removal of trees plants for human can also...

  • I am thinking of human populations in the West. These have decreased manly because of internal dynamics. For example the drive to have fewer children, increase in homosexuality, women in employment rather than stay at home mums, access to contraceptives.

  • I liked that exercise it made me think and expanded my knowledge

  • I believe that they are both climax and individualistic

  • This is an excellent introduction.

  • Hello
    I only learnt about this course today so many of you may have already moved on however I am looking forward to learning.

    My view on Global citizenship is unity of peoples regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, race, religion, culture or geographic location.

    I feel that if we aim at understanding each other, and show empathy and togetherness it...

  • So sad I only saw this course today, but I shall crack on.

  • Thank you the video was revealing.

  • To cause a secondary crater the impact of the object has to be extremely great.

  • This crater looks convex due to optical illusion it is in fact concave

  • My understanding is that craters can be caused by volcanism or meteoric impacts

  • The image appears convex an not at all like a crater but when I checked on Wiki it is clearly concave like caldera.

  • Galileo was certainly ahead of his time. When others believed the moon to be a perfectly smooth solar object he believed otherwise which was proved later. It has a lot of craters

  • I am still wondering why we cant see the other side of the moon

  • I likrf the quizzed I guessed all correctly

  • very interesting. I think that future planetary bodies should have modern names

  • Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system. It is in orbital resonance with Europa by 2.1 and 4.1 with Io. Ganymead has a crust made of ice under that a salt water ocean and silicone be of rock which covers molten iron. The core itself is made of iron.

  • Not all ice is frozen water. Some ice is made of frozen elements like methane, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen and so on

  • A very enjoyable and interesting exercise. I got 100%
    The internal areas of the moons are based on speculation though.

  • Lots of food for thought

  • That was a wonderful demonstration of the orbital resonances of resonances of Ganymede, Europa an lo and explains why these moons are not circular. This is because the gravitational pull of Jupiter and the moons pull on the moons causing them to be out of circular shape. This also explains the types present on these moons.

  • I will be facilitating a singing class later in the month and my thoughts are to:
    Plan the session.
    Select the songs to be sung.
    Explain the day's programme.
    Do 10 minute warm ups like stretches, breathing, and voice toning exercises.
    Ask permission to record singing as this will give me ideas on how the group is progressing.
    Ask members to join group...

  • Yes I agree with you

  • I plan to to be a facilitator of singing later this year so do not have a group yet

  • I sing in a choir and I am planning on becoming a singing teacher for a group of elderly people.

  • I am excited to join this course,

  • Epilepsy is a neurological disorder which causes abnormal neuronal electrical discharges resulting in seizures this is sometimes associated with an aura before the seizure. The person may become unconscious during seizures or my have absences.

  • This is great are there any advance for older children or adults with attention diffiulties?

  • This i great that the student level is taken into consideration in terms of their speed and the accuracy.

  • That is probably because this is a course if you were doing

  • I love this course and will be using a lot of the things I have learnt here including CPAT

  • Great resources thank you.

  • Thank you for sharing.

  • Thank you

  • I was not able to download CPAT

  • Thank you

  • so far this was the most difficult for me I had to really concentrate and recall. It sure did improve my attention.

  • This is about sustained attention

  • These are good examples of attention control

  • This is a very interesting concept which I thoroughly enjoyed doing. I think for the person with autism these activities will improve attention. I believe that the activities should be introduced as a regular activity.

  • I can see how this activity increases sustained attentention.

  • I found this very easy to follow. I think once it is explained to children they will understand and enjoy doing this activity

  • it was easy to do once I got started.I think that if it is clearly explained to the autistic child at the beginning it would be a fun exercise to do.

  • I have tried so many times to download CPAT all without success. Can anyone help please?

  • This could be difficult for the child with autism if it is not explained correctly

  • Very good exercises I found myself focusing and concentrating.

  • I found level 6 with the two squares quite easy once I got the hang of it

  • I agree with you

  • these exercises definitely encourages one to focus to find the target which increases concentration.

  • This will definitely improve my attention and I can also use it t help my grand children.

  • the level of difficulty increases with the business of the background

  • It gets more difficult as you go up the scale

  • Praise would be a good reward for children who get it correct

  • I think the lesser number of items are more suitable for younger children say age four and should be increased with age and ability. I see that the more practice one gets the more adept one becomes at spotting the target item.

  • Thsnk you

  • Thanks

  • There is a difference between a seizure and epilepsy.
    A seizure is a period of rapid electrical discharges in the brain which causes the neurons to fire in an abnormal excessive synchronised manner. Epilepsy may be characterised by seizures, blackouts and have underlying causes such as brain injury, tumors and others.

  • I am excited to learn and use computerised progressive attention technologies.

  • Wide line spacing and large clear font like Caliber or Ariel. Ask the students to read texts aloud to me. Encourage them to discuss in small groups then return to the big group where a selected person from each group could feed back. Give lots of encouragement and praise.

  • The videos havd really helped me to understand how high tides are both at east and west of the earth

  • Is it because the moon has no tectonic plates and is devoid of surface water that the craters still exists whereas on earth these two factors erode the craters with time?

  • The photos of Charon and Pluto are incredible thank you

  • Although Triton has similar composition to Pluto it is not a part of Pluto that has broken off and got captured by Neptune.

  • Retrograde moons are usually those that are captured by planets. The composition of Triton is similar to Pluto which suggests that Triton was once part of Pluto that broke off and was then captured by Neptune.

  • This is very interesting having all these different theories of moon formation. |I wonder if in time a theory would be confirmed as fact.

  • Moons are different sizes and are composed of different materials. Their commonality is that they orbit around planets, so they can be very tiny or very large but usually a moon is smaller than the planet it orbits. Mercury and Venus has no moons, Earth has one and Mars two the giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus and Mercury have many moons.

  • I am just learning about waxing and waning. I remember seeing the u shape when I holidaying in Africa but never associated it with waning . I now live in the northern hemisphere so will look out for the different preentations

  • From what I am reading it looks like any type of debris could be classed as a moon once it rotates around a planet even the dust particles in the rings of Jupiter and Uranus. I think there should be a minimum size limit a moon as big as a toaster does not make any sense, Toasters comes in different sizes.

  • @DavidRothery I understand that it gets 2 cm further away each year

  • If the moon is slowly separating from earth at 2 centimetres per year does this mean that sometime in the future the moon will disappear from earth's view all together?

  • i will have to go over the video again to get my head around it.

  • I was going to ask that question

  • I am willing to learn but some of the information is confusing

  • my understanding is that prograde is when moons rotate in the same direction as the planet they revolving around and retrograde is whey the moons rotate in the opposite direction. Earths moon is prograde while some of Jupiter and Saturn are retrograde.

  • A good demonstration

  • Very interesting planets rotate around the sun. Stars have no moons but planets in our solar system have moons except Mercury and Venus.
    Earth has one moon, Mars has two, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus four moons.

    One of Jupiter's moons Europa has oxygen and water so it is likely that it can support simple life however the radio carbons on Europa would be...

  • fantastic

  • Fantastic images.

  • I did not realise that the sun also had effect on the tides and I found it interesting to note that any planetary body could have a 'moon' once is circles around that body.

  • Human could not exist on Europa for more than 24 hours because of the ionising radiation on the that moon however it is likely that certain organism could exists in those conditions.

  • I wonder why mercury and Venus have no moons?

  • i am fascinated to know that Uranus has 82 moons and Jupiter has 79. I bet there are a lot more that are not yet discovered.

  • looking forward to learning more about the solar system and the moons

  • Greata course Thank you very much. I have learnt a kit and will put it into practice.

  • Some advantages of being diagnosed Autistic is that appropriate things can be put into place for the person to access. For example a BA student could access disability services and receive extra time for exams, tools such as assistive technology etc. They are also likely to receive financial such as disability living allowance (DLA). They can access additional...

  • There are common themes that autistic people present with these are:
    1.Social interaction
    2.communication
    3. behaviour
    4. Sensory perceptions

    The above affects the autistic person in different degrees so each autistic person is different from another and needs to be treated individually. In addition autism may be accompanied by one or more other...

  • I am waiting for my review to be marked. The exercise shows the individuality of autism, no two autistic people are alike even if they present with similar themes.

  • Chloe is a bright 13 year old girl who has recently been showing signs of anxiety.
    When she was a baby she did not like to be cuddled and never raised her arms to be lifted nor to be carried.
    She started speaking at 36 months which is relatively early. At nursery she would rather interact with the teachers than her peers and she only has one friend at a...

  • It is a step in the right direction to include people with autism as researchers, educators and so on so that they could share with us what autism is like for them as well as improve our knowledge of this neurodiversity.
    Enlightening all through education adn teaching will help to break down barriers between autistic and non autistic people and help in the ...

  • I would like to know if the anatomy of the brain is different in neurodiverse to neurotypical persons also if there are differences in the neurotransmitters.
    Autism is complex and there is still a lot to learn. Enquiry and education is vitally important in more fully understanding autism this will help in developing empathy between the autistic and non...

  • I agree with you each person needs to be assessed individually so as to identify if they have other neurodiverse conditions along with autism. Treatment should then be adjust to suit the individual needs. For instance medication might be considered for the comorbid condition ADHD where as quiet rooms with dim lights might benefit the autistic side.

  • It is all about education. If one is taught the core features of autism such as poor social skills, communication deficits, behavioral differences and low or high sensory effects then they would then be able to identify if there are other comorbid conditions present and they could point the differences out to assessors who would then analyse the autistic...

  • there are three criteria for diagnosing Intellectual and developmental disabilities thee are
    the condition has to be diagnosed before the age of 18 years.
    the individual has to have an IQ below 70%.
    and they have to rely on others preforming their selfcare.

    how are immigrants who come to the UK who are older than 18 years and those who were not picked...

  • you are right I know a few people with dyslexia who have top jobs and have PHDs

  • @AmandaHartley Hi Amanda what is EHPC

  • When very anxious my handrighting becomes illegible, my heart pounds and sweat. There is a thin tremor in my voice which affects smoothness in my presentations and performances.
    I tend to focus on my feelings rather be involved in conversing with others.
    I would be very aware of my own feelings but I am also able to observe other peoples distress.
    No...

  • Unfortunately the Autistic Burnout article is no longer available.
    If I am very anxious I experience body symptoms such as perspiring, trembling, dry mouth, urge to go to the toilet, , Have you and it could affect my delivery of a presentation ie speak too fast and without my usual vocal tone. An autistic person might experience similar feature in addition it...

  • As there is a high incidence of comorbid conditions attached to autism I wonder if assessors of autism could not do a more comprehensive test when looking for autism to include at least ADHD, Turrets, obsessional compulsive disorder and learning difficulties. Tf these conditions are identified then they could also be address along with autism which would help...

  • what do we understand about autistic people? Share your thoughts using the comments on this step.

    My understanding is that autistic people sees and reacts to the world different to neurotypical people because of the way their brains are wired. This is demonstrated in the doll test when 80% claimed that the ball was in Sally's basket in stead of seeing that...
