...Code Switching Assignment: “Charles Dickens’ relations to A Tale of Two Cities” Shaniyaz Chowdhury ENG 201-33 03. 14. 2014 A Tale of Two Cities and it's relation to the author Charles Dickens life It is to be believed that in “A Tale of Two Cities” Dickens reflects on his affair with eighteen year old actress Ellen Ternan. The relationship was maybe certainly romantic but also probably asexual. In his novel, Lucie Manette resembles Ellen Ternan physically. After starring in the play “The Frozen Deep” by Wilkie Collins, Dickens became inspired to write tales. In the play, he performed in a role who sacrifices his own life so his rival may have the woman they both loved. This love triangle became the main plot in his novel “A Tale of Two Cities” where Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton both loved Lucie Manette. The pair of Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay may also bear importance on Dickens' personal life. They look exactly alike that Carton saved him twice from being sentenced to death. It is implied that Carton and Darnay don’t only look alike, but also have the same genetic attributes. Though, many argued that the pair of Carton and Darnay is a doppelgänger; a pair that typically represents evil in which Darnay is worthy but dull and Carton is dishonorable but fascinating. Analysis The level of formality in writing should be suited by the expectations of the intended audience and the objective of the writer. Since I knew the type of people...

...Team B Calorie Count Tool PRG/211 May 5, 2014 Team B Calorie Count Tool PROBLEM STATEMENT Team B was asked to develop a program which would calculate the user’s daily intake of calories and measure those calories against the overall calories expended. The core purpose of this program will do two primary functions. First, it will record the user intake of calories as acquired through meals throughout the day. Second, the user will record caloric output associated with physical activity. This information will be calculated together to determine the caloric surplus or deficit for the user. In order for the program to execute accurately, and provide customized results, the user will be required to input personal data to include gender, age, weight, and height. This additional information is essential to determine the user’s default caloric burn rate, otherwise known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The BMR and the calories burned as a result of physical activity will be calculated against the intake of calories to determine the overall success for the user. As the program is executed it must: * Record user name, age, height, weight to enable more accurate calculations * Record the users specific caloric values entered for each meal * Record the user activity and caloric burn values for that activity * Calculate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the individual * Subtotal the total caloric values for the day * Combine the physical activity and...

...Diagnostic Algebra Assessment Definitions Categories Equality Symbol Misconception Graphing Misconception Definition Concept of a Variable Misconception Equality Symbol Misconception As algebra teachers, we all know how frustrating it can be to teach a particular concept and to have a percentage of our students not get it. We try different approaches and activities but to no avail. These students just do not seem to grasp the concept. Often, we blame the students for not trying hard enough. Worse yet, others blame us for not teaching students well enough. Students often learn the equality symbol misconception when they begin learning mathematics. Rather than understanding that the equal sign indicates equivalence between the expressions on the left side and the right side of an equation, students interpret the equal sign as meaning “do something” or the sign before the answer. This problem is exacerbated by many adults solving problems in the following way: 5 × 4 + 3 = ? 5 × 4 = 20 + 3 = 23 Students may also have difficulty understanding statements like 7 = 3 + 4 or 5 = 5, since these do not involve a problem on the left and an answer on the right. Falkner presented the following problem to 6th grade classes: 8 + 4 = [] + 5 All 145 students gave the answer of 12 or 17. It can be assumed that students got 12 since 8 + 4 = 12. The 17 may be from those who continued the problem: 12 + 5 = 17. Students with this misconception may also have difficulty with the idea that adding...

The operand (the value on which the operator operates ) of the unary operator must have arithmetic or pointer type and the result is the value of the argument. Example:- If a=5 then +a means 5 If a=0 then +a means 0. If a=-4 then +a means -4. Ternary operator:- It precedes an operand. The operand of the unary operator must have arithmetic type and the result is the negation of the operand’s value. Example:- If a=5 then –a means -5 If a=0 then –a means 0 If a=-4 then –a means 4. (b) Assignment and equalto operator Assignment operator:- Equal to operator: An assignment operator assigns value In this we put the To a variable. value as it is.

...Selection statements Selection is used to select which statements are to be performed next based on a condition being true or false. Relational expressions In the solution of many problems, different actions must be taken depending on the value of the data. The if statement in C I used to implement such s decision structure in its simplest form – that of selecting a statement to be executed only if a condition is satisfied. Syntax: if(condtion) statement executed if condition is true When an executing program encounters the if statement, the condition is evaluated to determine its numerical value, which is then interpreted as either true or false. If the condition evaluates to any non-0 value (positive or negative), the condition is considered as a “true” condition and the statement following the if is executed; otherwise this statement is not executed. Relational Operators In C Relational operator | Meaning | Example | < | Less than | age < 30 | > | Greater than | height > 6.2 | <= | Less than or equal to | taxable <= 200000 | >= | Greater than or equal to | temp >= 98.6 | == | Equal to | grade == 100 | != | Not equal to | number !=250 | In creating relational expressions, the relational operators must be typed exactly as given in the above table. Thus, although the following relational expressions are all valid: age > 40 length <= 50 temp >= 98.6 3 < 4 flag == done day != 5 The following are invalid: length =< 50 ...

I would ask Darlene to come back into my office. I would politely remind her that she had a job to do and regardless of our personal feelings about smoking we had work that had to be completed. I would also remind Darlene that her feelings would be considered and let her know I intend to find a solution that will satisfy everyone which included scheduling a meeting with the department to address the issue. After that conversation, I would ask for Darlene’s patience while I work with everyone through the issue. I would mention some of the things I plan to do in the short term while we reach a permanent solution. I would also mention to Darlene that maybe the approach she took toward me as her supervisor may not have been the best choice. I would not necessarily reprimand her for being insubordinate to me at that moment because I would not want Darlene to feel like I was threatening her but it would be noted in my file on her to be discussed at review time when the tension may not be as high as it is now. I would offer suggestions to Darlene on obtaining the files needed to complete the report like getting...

...Introduction to Programming with C# Variable Types & Initialising Variables Introduction to Variables A variable is a storage location that holds a value. You can think of a variable as a box in the computer’s memory holding temporary information. You must give each variable in a program an unambiguous name that uniquely identifies it in the context in which it is used. You use a variable’s name to refer to the value it holds. For example, if you want to store the value of the cost of an item in a store, you might create a variable simply called cost and store the item’s cost in this variable. Later on, if you refer to the cost variable, the value retrieved will be the item’s cost that you stored there earlier. Working with Primitive Data Types C# has a number of built-in types called primitive data types. The following table lists the most commonly used primitive data types in C# and the range of values that you can store in each. |Type |Description |Size (in bits) |Range | |int |Whole numbers |32 |-2147483648 to 2147483647 | |long |Whole numbers (larger range than int |64 |-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807 | | |data type) | | | |float ...

...Solving Proportions MAT222 Week 1 Assignment September 22, 2014 Solving Proportions Solving for a proportion can be used within numerous real-world problems, such as finding the population of an area. Conservationists are able to predict the population of bear’s in their area by comparing information collected from two experiments. In this problem, 50 bears in Keweenaw Peninsula were tagged and released so conservationists could estimate the bear population. One year later, the conservationist took random samples of 100 bears from the same area, proportions are able to be used in order to determine Keweenaw Peninsula’s bear population. “To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula, conservationists captured, tagged, and released 50 bears. One year later, a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears. What is the conservationist’s estimate of the size of the bear population (Dugolpolski, 2012)?” In order to figure the estimated population, some variables need to first be defined and explain the rules for solving proportions. The ratio of originally tagged bears to the entire population is (50/x). The ratio of recaptured tagged bears to the sample size is (2/100). 50x=2100 is how the proportion is set up and is now ready to be solved. Cross multiplication is necessary for this problem. The extremes are (100) and (50). The means are (x) and (2). 100(50)=2x New equation, and now solve for (x). 50002=2x2 Divide both...

...solved in many different ways. There are equations, graphs, and word problems and several concepts that can be used as examples to help solve mathematical issues. In week four of this College Algebra class Learning Team B was present with an assignment involving a traffic model. The traffic model is the key to helping Learning Team B solve the problems the assignment presents. The traffic model represents a number of cars within the area at any given time represented by letters. Learning team B must solve questions based on this model. There are several equations that were made in order to prove that the numbers of cars entering and leaving each intersection must be equal to keep traffic moving smoothly. Variables f and g are independent variables. This means that variables a through e are dependent on variables f and g. The number of cars at intersection a depends on how many cars turn from intersection f. The number of cars at intersection b depends on how many cars turn right from intersections f and g. This tells you that there are infinitely many solutions since the number of cars that turn onto Elm from Oak, Pine, and Aspen vary. Similarly the number of cars that turn onto Maple from Oak, Pine, and Aspen also vary. To list two acceptable traffic flows first let variable f be equal to 365 cars/hr and let variable g be equal to 400 cars/hr. Variable a would be equal to 850-365, which equals 485 cars/hr. Variable b would be equal to 500-f+g, which is 500-365+400 and is...

... comparing the means of two or more groups, and calculating the correlation between two variables. The following paper will go in to more depth on what was discussed and what we learned as a team as well as individuals. The team also was able to go over the Mystat lab that we were assigned in the individual assignment. In step one a team would state a null hypothesis as well as an alternate hypothesis. The null hypothesis is used only for testing. We either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. The alternate hypothesis is accepted if sample data provide enough evidence that the null hypothesis is false. No matter what the problem looks like the null hypothesis will always contain the equal sign. This is true because since the null hypothesis is being tested there is a need for a specific value to be seen in the calculations. When comparing the means of two or more groups the team must state the null hypothesis. Random samples of each population must be chosen to show the formula in a working status. To get a more accurate sample a higher number of the populations should be used. An independent sample T-test is used to compare the means of two or more groups. Pooled variance can be used if the variances of the two populations being tested are constant. The correlation between two variables describes the likelihood that a change in one variable will cause a proportional change in the other variable. A high correlation between two variables suggests they share...

...Assignment Two: Outline & Preliminary List of Resources Nichole Catron Strayer University SOC100: Introduction to Sociology January 26, 2015 I. Hypothesis Those who live in poverty stricken neighborhoods tend to turn to crime due to very little access to job opportunities among other things. Research shows that areas with the most crime tend to be in neighborhoods with the highest rates of poverty. This is not a race issue, whether the community is predominately white or black studies show that disadvantaged areas have the highest crime rates. A disadvantaged area would be an area with crowded neighborhoods, underperforming public schools, single parent homes, and poor housing conditions. II. While some believe people put themselves in the situation and can move out of the neighborhood if they feel unsafe, others feel that they are stuck in the environment and cannot financially afford to move to a better neighborhood with lower crime rates. Due to little or no job opportunities and very little if any savings moving seems like just a fantasy to most. In the poverty stricken neighborhoods the rent tends to be very cheap so it is easy for a single parent or person with little or no income to maintain their household. III. Practical Implications Unfortunately this seems to be a viscous circle for those who grow up in this environment. It seems they turn to crime because of a lack of finances then end up in jail or in the system, which in turn then puts them...
