"The rectangular shape and size of a cellphone is familiar," she said.Next, she put three holes in the wood. The holes were different sizes, so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. Each hole also had a layer of dried, sticky hot glue. The glue layer provided a firm grip for the bottle caps. With a simple twisting motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance.Students like Aasritha used math, physics and tool skills to address challenges people face, such as movement disorders. The students also learned about empathy."Empathy is looking at problems from another's perspective," Aasritha said. Her teacher, Mark Bolt, said it's another important part of engineering because engineers need to put themselves in the shoes of the person using the product.
Having questioned Sidotti,* I understand that Christians teach that theirGod produced heaven and earth and make him out to be the Great Lord and Father. This God of theirs, they say, cannot be served without giving him all of ones love and all of ones reverence. What these Christians are in effect saying is this: I have a [real] father, but I do not love him because I reserve all my love for God; I have a [real] lord, but I dont revere him because I reserve all my reverence for God. Now this is what we call being impious and disloyal! According to the Book of Rites, it is the emperor, the Son of Heaven, who should be worshiping God, the Lord of Heaven. It is not a duty that is given to ordinary people. And that is in order to prevent the blurring of the line between the exalted and the base. Thus, the sovereign is Heaven to the subjects just as the father is Heaven to the child.*Giovanni Battista Sidotti was an Italian priest who had entered Japan in 1708, in violation of the Japanese governments prohibition on Christian missionary activities. Arai Hakuseki, Japanese scholar and adviser to theTokugawa shogun, report, circa 1720Explain ONE way in which the religious encounter referred to in the passage differed from most other religious encounters in the period circa 14501750.

APUSH Unit 6 Responses to Immigration in the Gilded AgeIn your response, be sure to address all parts of the question. Use complete sentences; an outline or bulleted list alone is not acceptable."The Italian laborer does more than his share of work and receives less than his share of earnings; for as a matter of fact, the laws enacted with regard to this matter oppress the laborer and assist rather than hamper the contractor. Even supposing that the contractor does not succeed in importing contract labor, he finds in the market a large number of men entirely at his mercy, with not even the weak [government] promise to defend themselves against [the contractor's] greed. . . ."The contractor is sure to depart from the terms of the contract either as to wages, or hours of labor, or the very nature of the work. . . . The employer . . . recognizes [only the contractor, not the laborers], and all wages are paid to him. He [keeps a portion of] these for his own benefit. . . . Meanwhile the [working] men have to live, and to obtain food they increase their debt with the contractor." S.
