That’s the premise behind KarmaThreads — a positive messaging apparel company fusing vintage flair with contemporary design — as Cyan they announced earlier this month the launch of its first line of T-shirts for women of all ages. Magenta With inspirational messages like “Dream,” “Hope,” “Laugh Often,” “Love More,” and other phrases, these hip new T-shirts pro- vide an easy way for all to look good and do good. Inspired by a desire to give back to teens in need, KarmaThreads Yellow founder, Rhonda Lee, is sharing a portion from all of the items sold to charities that shelter and nurture teens. For Lee, it is an idea that has hung around for years and is now Black coming into fruition. “I really wanted to form a non-profit organization for teens to provide clothes for kids in need,” she said. “I think that it’s our responsibility to help these teens that are the next generation and teach them the responsibility of taking care of their own.” On Friday, Nov. 24 — also known as “Black Friday” — eight businesses in Exeter aided in the launch of Kar- maThreads by displaying the T-shirts in their stores and providing purchase information for those who are inter- ested in giving back.

One is an appointment for a midday massage — a 78th birthday present from a friend who’s a masseur. 0 e other says simply: Horror. Hilkert, a longtime neighborhood fi xture, was one of more than a dozen local residents run down and injured by an out-of-control driver on August 29. It was a bizarre incident that landed the neighborhood in the national news. Hilkert was returning home from his massage early that Tuesday afternoon when he saw a man lying in the street at Sutter and Steiner. “He was moaning and groaning, and I thought, ‘Oh, there’s some poor fellow who’s down and out,’ ” he says. Others were helping, so Hilkert continued on his way. “I was into the crosswalk, when suddenly this car came right at me — and I joined the other fellow, on my back, in the street,” his glasses and hearing aids scattered, Hilkert recalls. Neighbors and bystanders quickly gathered. “0 en one of them screamed: ‘My God! He’s coming back!’ ” Hilkert says. “I saw the car make a U-turn at Fillmore and come back to fi nish us off .” Selfl ess souls in the crowd dragged Hilkert to safety just as the black SUV sped down the street.

  • Reversible Reasoning in Multiplicative Situations: Conceptual
    REVERSIBLE REASONING IN MULTIPLICATIVE SITUATIONS: CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS, AFFORDANCES AND CONSTRA1NTS by AJAY RAMFUL (Under the Direction of John Olive) ABSTRACT While previous research studies have focused primarily on the additive structure , relatively fewer attempts have been made to explore the multiplicative structure from a reversibility perspective. The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate, at a fine-grained level of detail, the strategies and constraints that middle-school students encounter in reasoning reversibly in the multiplicative domains of fraction and ratio. In the first phase of the study a mathematical analysis of reversibility situations was conducted. In the second empirical phase, three pairs of above-average students at the grades 6, 7 and 8 were interviewed in a rural middle-school in the United States. Three selected data sets were analyzed using Vergnaud’s theory of the multiplicative conceptual field, the concept of units, and notion of quantitative reasoning. The findings put into perspective the importance of the theorem-in-action as a key element for reasoning reversibly in multiplicative situations. Further, the results show that reversibility is context-sensitive, with the numeric feature of problem parameters being a major factor. Relatively prime numbers and fractional quantities acted as inhibitors preventing the cueing of the invariant ‘division as the inverse of multiplication’, thereby constraining students from reasoning reversibly. Moreover, the form of reversible reasoning was found to be dependent on the type of multiplicative structures. Among others, two key resources were identified as being essential for reasoning reversibly in fractional contexts: interpreting fractions in terms of units, which enabled the students to access their whole number knowledge and secondly, the coordination of 3 levels of units.
