Short Description:
The Math for Trades: Volume 3 textbook continues the tradition that Math for Trades: Volume 1 and Math for Trades: Volume 2 started. This volume continues the journey through math with topics such as capacities, pressure and total force, grade and total fall and trigonometry. These topics take the foundation that as been built in the first two volumes and adds new layers. Once again the material is presented from a trades perspective with easy-to-understand examples and video explanations accompanying questions. There is also a voiceover which follows along with each section and chapter. This material should provide useful in the continuation of your trades training.

The ETBI Supports for Apprentices Group is composed of staff who support apprentices with literacy, numeracy, study skills and IT. The group is creating a series of maths workbooks for craft apprenticeships. The first series comprises:

Maths for Carpentry & Joinery Apprentices
Maths for Commis Chef Apprentices
Maths for Electrical Apprentices
Maths for Metal Fabrication Apprentices
Maths for Motor Mechanics
Maths for Plumbing Apprentices

The workbooks cover basic maths concepts and introduce more complex topics relevant to specific apprenticeships

Short Description:
This book is intended to give students a basic understanding of the various types of meat and poultry used in the food service industry, and how the terminology used by retail, wholesale, and food service customers varies. Meat cutting for restaurants and hotels differs slightly from meat cutting for retail. Restaurants and hotels sometimes use names of cuts on menus that are common in the kitchen vernacular or in other jurisdictions like Europe or the United States, while retail meat cutters are bound by Canadian regulations regarding labelling and marketing of meat products to consumers for retail.

A technician is only as accurate as the measurement equipment they are using. If the equipment is used incorrectly or is faulty, then the measurements will be inaccurate. If the measurements are inaccurate, then the technician will draw the wrong conclusions. To avoid getting inaccurate readings, you need to handle, use, and store meters properly. When you are done using a multimeter, it should always be turned off to extend battery life.

Return to milneopentextbooks.org to download PDF and other versions of this textNewParaChildren are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children’s identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children’s natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I’m working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?NewParaThis book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children’s lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.

Countering the Threat From States and Non-State Actors

Short Description:
The danger posed by nuclear weapons and fissile materials is ever present. The end of the Cold War and the significant reduction in the size of Russian and U.S. nuclear stockpiles did not change this fact of life. There are now nine states that possess nuclear weapons – the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea – and the number of nuclear weapons in the world in 2019 is estimated to be almost 14,000. In addition, the production of highly-enriched uranium and plutonium continues in several places, while more than 440 civilian nuclear facilities around the world are in operation, posing their own particular risks. When one also considers that non-state actors constitute a significant global danger and the potential for nuclear terrorism, it is clear the need for nuclear security remains paramount. There is no other type of weapon that comes close to doing the level of damage that nuclear weapons can inflict. Data dashboard
