Problem 10.1 Parallel Transport on the PlaneShow that if l and h are lines on the plane such that they are parallel transports along a transversal l, then they are parallel transports along any transversal. Prove this using any assumptions you find necessary. Make as few assumptions as you can, and make them as simple as possible. Be sure to state your assumptions clearly.a. What part of your proof does not work on a sphere or on a hyperbolic plane?SuggestionsThis problem is by no means as trivial as it at first may appear. In order to prove this theorem, you will have to assume something — there are many possible assumptions* so use your imagination. But at the same time, try not to assume any more than is necessary. If you are having trouble deciding what to assume, try to solve the problem in a way that seems natural to you and then see what develops while making explicit any assumptions you are using.On spheres and hyperbolic planes, try the same construction and proof you used for the plane. What happens? You should find that your proof does not work on these surfaces. So what is it about your proof (on a sphere and hyperbolic plane) that creates difficulties?Problem 10.1 emphasizes the differences between parallelism on the plane and parallelism on spheres and hyperbolic planes. On the plane, non-intersecting lines exist, and one can “parallel transport” everywhere. Yet, as was seen in Problems 8.2 and 8.3, on spheres and hyperbolic planes two lines are cut at congruent angles if and only if the transversal line goes through the center of symmetry formed by the two lines. That is, on spheres and hyperbolic planes two lines are parallel transports only when they can be parallel transported through the center of symmetry formed by them. Be sure to draw a picture locating the center of symmetry and the transversal. On spheres and hyperbolic planes it is impossible to slide the transversal along two parallel transported lines while keeping both angles constant (something you can do on the plane). In Figures 10.1, the line r’ is a parallel transport of line r along line /, but it is not a parallel transport of r along /’.We will now divide parallel postulates into three groups: those involving mostly parallel transport, those involving mostly equidistance, and those involving mostly intersecting or non-intersecting lines. This division is useful even though it is rough and unlikely to fit every conceivable parallel postulate.b. Which of these three groups is the most appropriate for your assumption from Problem 10.1? We will call the assumption you made in Problem 10.1 “your parallel postulate.’’’’

Action Research SelectionYour written response to this discussion prompt assesses your ability to both describe the action research proposal process and formulate evidence-based recommendation for selecting an appropriate action research topic. This discussion also supports your achievement of Course Learning Outcome 5.According to the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (NCREL), “Action research is inquiry or research in the context of focused efforts to improve the quality of an organization and its performance. It typically is designed and conducted by practitioners who analyze the data to improve their own practice,” (as cited in Action Research, n.d., para. 1), As you read this week in the Instructor Guidance and Chapter 3 of the your text, keep in mind the NCREL definition of action research as you select your study to peer review for the Week Six assignment.Initial Post: Post an initial response that addresses the following areas:First, select one action research study from your list of peer-reviewed sources from the Week One assignment.Next, post the full 6th edition APA reference entry for this selected source.Finally, in two to three paragraphs, discuss why you chose this topic and in particular this action research proposal. How does this topic support your current professional role or future professional goals?

Topic A: A defining feature of “world music,” “world beat,” or “ethno-pop,” as it has variously been called, is the production of recordings by well-known American and European pop musicians that include traditional musicians from other cultures performing in a back-up role, or that call attention to themselves by the use of musical exotica extracted from traditional cultures. Such recordings suggest a range of issues and questions that invite critique and debate. Some of these are listed below: 1. How do a recording’s musical arrangements, title, graphics, and accompanying notes represent the relationship between Western lead musicians and participating traditional musicians? 2. Is music on the recording attributed to an author, composer, or arranger? Who holds the copyright? What do attributions and credits suggest about rights to, and ownership of, the music? 3. Are the musical and personal relationships negotiated through the production of the album compatible with beliefs about rights to, and ownership of, music in the imported tradition represented on the recording? 4. Does the lead artist show musical respect for the imported tradition(s) represented on the recording? What is “musical respect” and how might it be shown or not shown? 5. Do artists who employ traditional musicians have obligations not only to the musicians but to the political entities or cultural traditions that they represent? What factors would determine whether they do or do not? 6. Should traditional musicians be implicated in the capitalist culture of risk that is an inherent part of the record business? That is, should traditional musicians get Page 2 of 5 a fixed “session” fee for participating in a recording, or should they be paid royalties based on sales? 7. Are cross-cultural “world music” and “world beat” projects inherently opportunistic and exploitative? The Assignment: Choose either a recording from the attached list or a recording not on the list that meets the criteria of “a cross-cultural fusion in which Western musicians work with artists or musical material from traditions different than their own.” If you choose a recording not on the list, please let me know what it is before you begin your work. Write a critical review of the recording in which you do the following: 1. Offer a concise description of the musical and aesthetic concept behind the recording, or answer the question, “What did the artists or producers set out to do?” 2. Discuss the way in which “roots” music is incorporated into the musical sound. 3. Discuss musical, aesthetics, and ethical issues that the recording raises, taking into account the list provided above. Think about the relationship between aesthetics (what is beauty?) and ethics (what is good?). You are welcome to consider issues on the list provided above as well as issues not on the list. 4. Offer your critical judgment about ways in which the project succeeds or fails as music and as an exercise in developing cross-cultural understanding and relationships. Topic A: Suggested Recordings: • Paul Simon, “The Rhythm of the Saints” (with Latin American musicians) • David Byrne, “Rei Momo” (with Latin American musicians) • Peter Gabriel, “Passion” (created for the soundtrack to “The Last Temptation of Christ” based on Middle Eastern Music); (may discuss together with Gabriel’s “Passion Sources”) • Kate Bush, “The Sensual World” (with Bulgarian women) • Mickey Hart, “Planet Drum” and “At the Edge” (“world percussion”) • Paul Winter, “Earthbeat” (jazz and Russian village music) • Outback: “Dance the Devil Away” and “Baka” (Aboriginal music combined with folk guitar) • “Spirit of the Forest” (Baka Beyond) jam sessions with Baka Pygmies and composer/guitarist Martin Cradick • Linda Ronstadt, “Canciones de mi padre” (with Mexican and Mexican-American musicians) Page 3 of 5 • Talking Heads, “Reamin in Light” (appropriation of scratch, funk, Afro-Beat and jùjú rhythm) • “A World out of Time” Vols. 1 and 2 (Pop/avant-garde guitarists Henry Kaiser and David Lindley join musicians in Madagascar) • “Talking Timbuktu” (Guitarist Ry Cooder grooves with griots from the Sahara) • Robbie Robertson and the Red Road Ensemble, “Music for the Native Americans” • “The Sweet Sunny North” (avant-garde musicians Henry Kaiser and David Lindley jam with traditional musicians in Norway) • Paul Simon, “Graceland” • Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, “No Quarter.” (collaboration with musicians from Egypt)

Unit: Successful Adult Team LearningDue Date: 2/19/21Deliverable Length: 3-4 strong paragraphsYour online teams have been assigned, and you are awaiting the results of their work—a presentation to be delivered online at the end of the week. On Friday before the presentation is due, you receive an e-mail from one of the members of Team Alpha complaining that the rest of the team is not showing up for planned discussions, and two members have not yet submitted research portions that were due on Monday. Team morale is apparently suffering.On reflection, what could you have done before the start of the team projects to prepare your teams to go into action?What can you do now to try to salvage this situation? Mention research you have done into team structures, group dynamics, or other topics applicable to this situation.What internal conflicts could you expect to find in Team Alpha? How might you resolve them?Please make certain to add an open-ended question to motivate others to respond!!!!!!!!!!2-3 References

1. How is the? teacher-centered learning theory different from? child-centered theories described in Chapter 1 of the Tompkins & Rodgers text? How do these different approaches to learning relate to how we teach reading and writing? (chapter 1)2. Prior to 1970, educators used the term “readiness” to describe a developmental point at which children should begin formal reading and writing instruction. The current perspective, emergent literacy, recognizes that very young children exhibit behaviors that show that literacy is already a part of their lives. What activities capitalize upon a young child’s motivation to read and write? What are ways in which teachers, parents, and guardians can support young learners at each stage of development (emergent, beginner, fluent)? (Chapter 2)

Prior to posting your answer to this discussion I want you to read the following document which is a brief recap of some very “Common Pitfalls” that second language learners of Spanish commit. This is a great document to review regularly, and it is based on many of the points made in the book Breaking out of beginner Spanish that I mentioned earlier in the course.https://edge.apus.edu/access/content/group/72bb1e02-82a8-4938-b1b9-5702e2e08168/Discussion%20Boards/CommonPitfalls.docTu VecindarioUsing the Spanish you have learned from Rosetta Stone and this lesson, write about three places in your home town or city that you frequent other than work.Where do you go and why? What is your favorite place to go? What are some landmarks in your neighborhood? Are there any special activities or festivities during the year?You are free to answer the questions however you wish, provided that your answer addresses the writing prompt. (tu vecindario). Your post should consist of at least 8 complete sentences in Spanish.Example: Voy al supermercado dos veces cada semana para comprar pescado y frutas. Está cerca de mi casa. Me gusta ir al cine una vez cada mes. Manejo 10 minutos para llegar al teatro. También visito con mis amigas para jugar naipes o para tomar un café. Viven muy cerca. Camino a sus casas. La farmacia está al centro de mi vecino. Hay muchas personas allí que compran sus medicamentos. Para la Navidad, hay desfiles al centro. Tiene un gran árbol con muchas luces.Respond to two peers in Spanish. Make two comments and ask two questions about the content of their posts. Replies should be at least 5 sentences each. Use appropriate Spanish language punctuation and accent marks. The document Accents and Punctuation tells you how to do this. (Becoming familiar with this document was part of week one’s assignments).https://studyspanish.com/typing-spanish-accentsYou can also easily create the Spanish characters using the Special Characters feature above the text field. (If you don’t see the omega or blue horse shoe, the icon may be a cube with blue and red symbols on it. They both represent the special characters feature).If you have a laptop and can’t create ALT commands, or if you find it more convenient, there is an icon on the gray area above the text field (where you type your post), find the smiley face, and close by you should see an icon that is either a blue horse shoe (omega) or a box with red and blue symbols on it. This is the special character icon…clicking this box will allow you to choose special characters. You can use this box to create Spanish characters and punctuation marks.Please find attached a Power Point file on when to place accents on Spanish words. I wish you all the best this week and look forward to reading your comments!
