    sUMMER 2017 • Volume 26 • Number 2 Welcome Home “Son, we’re moving to Oregon.” Hearing these words as a high school freshman in sunny Southern California felt – to a sensitive teenager – like cruel and unusual punishment. Save for an 8-bit Oregon Trail video game that always ended with my player dying of dysentery, I knew nothing of this “Oregon.” As proponents extolled the virtues of Oregon’s picturesque Cascade Mountains, I couldn’t help but mourn the mountains I was leaving behind: Space, Big Thunder and the Matterhorn (to say nothing of Splash, which would open just months after our move). I was determined to be miserable. But soon, like a 1990s Tom Hanks character trying to avoid falling in love with Meg Ryan, I succumbed to the allure of the Pacific Northwest. I learned to ride a lawnmower (not without incident), adopted a pygmy goat and found myself enjoying things called “hikes” (like scenic drives without the car). I rafted white water, ate pink salmon and (at legal age) acquired a taste for lemon wedges in locally produced organic beer. I became an obnoxiously proud Oregonian. So it stands to reason that, as adulthood led me back to Disney by way of Central Florida, I had a special fondness for Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Inspired by the real grandeur of the Northwest but polished in a way that’s unmistakably Disney, it’s a place that feels perhaps less like the Oregon I knew and more like the Oregon I prefer to remember (while also being much closer to Space Mountain).

    Real World Performance Tasks

    Cedar Point Real World Performance Tasks Real World Real Life, Real Data, Real-Time - These activities put students into real life scenarios where they use real-time, real data to solve proBlems. In the Relationship Status series, we use data from theme parks and update our data regularly. Note - some data has been rounded or simplified in order to adjust the math to the appropriate level. Engaging Relevant – Students today are familiar with and enjoy amusement park rides, making these activities very relevant to children’s everyday lives. To pique their interest further, try asking the Your Challenge question to the class first. Authentic Tasks - Through these activity sheets students learn how the amusement park industry works and are prompted to form opinions and ideas about how they would solve real life proBlems. A glossary is included to help them with the unfamiliar terms used. Student Choice - Each set of activity sheets is available in multiple versions where students will do the same activities using data for different amusement parks (e.g., Busch Gardens, Hershey Park, Six Flags, etc.) You or your students can pick the location that most interests them. Modular Principal Activity - The activity sheets always start with repeated practice of a core skill matched to a common core standard, as set out in the Teacher Guide. This principal activity (or Level 1 as it is labeled to students) can Be used in isolation. This should generally take around 10-15 minutes. Step Up Activity - For the Level 2 questions, students are required to integrate a different skill or set of skills with increasing complexity.

  • The American Dream

    The American Dream

    The American Dream America's latest shopping & leisure experience in New Jersey Many years ago so-called "XXL shopping malls" the urban shopping experience in concentrated form spread as a major trend from America to Europe and the rest of the world. The West Edmonton Mall, which opened in Canada in 1981 and was considered the world's largest shopping centre until 2004, set standards for modern shopping facilities early on combined with a wealth of entertainment offerings. The Mall of America in Bloomington/Minnesota (USA, opened in 1992) can also boast superlatives: with more than 40 million visitors annually, it is the world's most visited shopping mall. All these projects have a connection to the Edmonton/Alberta-based project developer Triple Five Group, a company founded by the Ghermezian family in the mid-Sixties and still owned by them. The West Edmonton Mall and the Mall of America were developed and continue to be operated by the Canadian company. The most recent projects of the Triple Five conglomerate include the new American Dream shopping and entertainment centre in the US state of New Jersey, the first section of which was officially opened on 25 October 2019 (see EAP News of 25 October 2019). In 2011 the Triple Five Group took over the retail project in East Rutherford, originally planned under the name "Meadowlands Xanadu", which had been under construction since 2004. The complex is now to be completed in four phases and will subsequently contain hundreds of retail, catering, entertainment and fashion offerings on an area of approximately 279,000 square meters.

    Meaning - an Unexplored Path of Innovation

    Meaning - An Unexplored Path of Innovation Åsa Öberg1* and Roberto Verganti2 Department of Information Design, Mälardalen University, Sweden1 School of Management, Politecnico di Milano, Italy1,2 [email protected], [email protected] *Corresponding Author Received 27 August 2014; received in revised form 30 November 2014; accepted 9 December 2014 Abstract Over the last ten years, the practice and research around innovation has been dominated by one perspective: innovation is an activity of “creative problem solving”. According to this per- spective, users have problems or needs, and innovation implies an understanding of those problems and the creation of better ideas to solve them (Kelley, 2001, Chesbrough, 2003, Brown, 2009, Martin, 2009). There is, however, a level of innovation that has been overlooked: the level of meaning. People are continuously searching for meaning. Whenever they do something in life, there is a meaning behind that action, a purpose, and a “why”. They also use products and services that support this search for meaning. For example, they use fast robots with the purpose of improving the productivity of a process. Firms often assume that meanings exist “out there” in the market. They just have to be understood, not innovated. Therefore, they search for new solutions, a new “how”, to serve this existing purpose better: a faster robot, for example. However, people are not only searching for new solutions to existing problems. They are also searching for new meanings because their life keeps changing and because they are delighted by the discovery of new directions. For example, hospitals buy slow robots, such as the DaVinci system, the leading prostatectomy device, not to replace doctors and increase productivity, but to help them in complex operations.

    Aalto University School of Engineering Master’s Programme in Building Technology Design of Roller Coasters Master’s Thesis 24.7.2018 Antti Väisänen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Antti Väisänen Title of thesis Design of Roller Coasters Master programme Building Technology Code ENG27 Thesis supervisor Vishal Singh Thesis advisor Anssi Tamminen Date 24/07/2018 Number of pages 75 Language English Abstract This thesis combines several years of work experience in amusement industry and a litera- ture review to present general guidelines and principles of what is included in the design and engineering of roller coasters and other guest functions attached to them. Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.

Every May, Canobie sponsors a PHYSICS DAY for high school students. This educational experience is designed for older students who test and apply scientific theories on our major thrill rides. The INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM is also a day dedicated to teaching how principles of science are applied to amusement park rides. This day is geared towards the middle school grades. Both days feature demonstrations and exhibits in addition to the lessons learned on the rides. Still, requests for additional learning guides beyond those previously produced continued. It is to this need that Canobie Lake Park Corporation proudly responds with “ELEMENTS OF FUN!” Your comments are welcomed, since this program’s raison d’être is the educational enrichment of your students. Understanding teachers’ need for a formal focus, and using the same to create examples, activities, extensions, problems and enrichment samples, educators from around New England have listed in general terms both the desired learnings and minimum essentials for this curriculum as an appendix to this document. This is open to review and change.
