You put your thoughts into language or into some other code such as sign language. 3. Message sent – you speak, write, sign or send your message in some other way. 4. Message received – the other person has to sense your message – they hear your words or see you symbols. 5. Message decoded – the other person has to interpret or ‘decode’ what you have said. Sometime it is hard as the other person will make assumptions about your words and body language. 6. Message understood – if all goes well, your ideas will be understood (however, this doesn’t always happen the first time).

...Many people have a psychological need to be a different person and the world of fiction provides an opportunity for them to do just that. With the everyday stresses and the hassle of a normal life some people need to escape from their mundane reality. They can do this by reading books, watching movies, or playing video games. Unfortunately, some people cannot find the line between reality and fiction and often blur the two, or disregard reality completely. There are many cases of people who choose to do bad because it is what they want to do and there are others who do this because of something that happened in their lives at a young age. There is really no way to know when the need starts or how it manifests itself in an individual. Doctors and scientists who are trying to figure out if criminality is psychological or biological, have had a long standing debate. Which path has the correct answer to this question or at least the most promising evidence and where does it all start? Although there are many good cases arguing for both there is no clear answer to this question. In the fictional realm of superheroes and supervillains, there are numerous reasons as to why the latter of the two chooses a life of crime. The psychological ramifications of nature versus nurture are an everpresent idea that shapes the hero versus villain dynamic as we know it. In the article “Does Cartoon Violence Beget Aggressive Behavior in Real Life? An Opposing View” by Fran Blumberg et.al, states that...

Original sin is still present, but God, being free and independent of us, freely chooses to save infants who are not capable of making a choice to commit their lives to Christ. Introduction Infant salvation is a complex issue, sometimes controversial and a topic of much debate within Christendom. The issue of infant salvation first arose with the institution of infant baptism, done so that infants who died would be baptized, and thus saved in case of death. Though that debate has subsided in recent years, it is not due to a consensus...

...law. Society believes that criminals should be punished for the crimes they committed and society believe that people who are ill should receive treatment for their illness. When we talk about the insanity defense, we go to the M'Naghten rule. The M'Naghten rule is the required test that must be given before the jury can decide whether the individual on trial knew that he or she could not tell right from wrong. This is the first famous legal test for insanity. In 1843, Englishman Daniel M’Naghten shot and killed the secretary of the British Prime Minister. M’Naghten believed that the Prime Minister was conspiring against him. The court ruled M'Naghten not guilty “by reason of insanity,” then he was placed in a mental institution. This case caused a public uproar, because of this Queen Victoria...

...For the exclusive use of S. Jin 9-809-063 REV: FEBRUARY 4, 2011 NOAM WASSERMAN Apple's Core In 1983, Steve Jobs was featured on the cover of Time magazine when the personal computer was named “Machine of the Year.” His co-founder, Steve Wozniak, was quoted as saying, “Steve didn’t do one circuit, design, or piece of code.”1 The two had launched Apple Computer seven years before. The Two Steves Steve Wozniak grew up in suburban Santa Clara, California. At an early age, under his father’s influence, he developed a strong view of ethics and an interest in technology. Extreme honesty, extreme ethics, really. That’s the biggest thing he taught me . . . I never lie even to this day. . . . The other thing my dad taught me was a lot about electronics. I so clearly remember him telling me that engineering was the highest level of importance you could reach in the world, that someone who could make electrical devices that do something good for people takes society to a new level.2 The dream of building a personal computer was sparked for Wozniak when his father showed him an article about the original ENIAC computer. The article speculated about computer technology reaching “a point where anyone could buy a computer and put it in your house and learn how to use it yourself. I thought that would be just the best thing, and that was The Dream . . . the single force that drove me for years afterwards.”3 A zest for laughter also infused Wozniak’s life. He believed that “[i]n...

...My Personal Learning Assessment Virginia Tucker AET: 525 February 26th, 2012 Deborah Hatfield My Personal Learning Assessment Many factors can affect a student’s ability to perform successfully in the classroom. One of these factors is his or her personal learning style. According to Howard Gardner, there are seven distinct learning styles (Gardner, 1985). The first of these styles is known as the “Verbal-Linguistic” Learner. A student with this type of learning style prefers to learn by using words and being vocal in class. He or she will use stories and enjoy question and answer sessions in class settings (Gardner, 1985). As with any learning style, there are problems that may arise with this particular learning style. Some examples include: 1. Difficulty with online classroom learning environments- These students strive on one-on-one interaction with both the instructor and other students. Not having this could greatly affect their learning ability. 2. Not working well with shy individuals in a team setting- “Verbal-Linguistic” learners need social interaction to fully learn a subject being presented to them in a class. These students may burden and or overshadow quieter students who prefer to work in a quieter environment. The second learning style is an “auditory” learner. An “auditory” learner relies on his or her hearing to succeed in the classroom. These students are very particular about their choice of words when speaking inside the classroom...

...expected to work hard and dedicate more time than the walk-in or try-out players because they need to maintain their good performance to keep their scholarships. I’m studying in Thailand as a 10th grader. I started playing basketball a couple years ago. At first I was just playing for fun and exercise, but since I was asked to join my varsity team, I started to like the game more. My love to game developed to the point where I wanted to take it seriously. Many researches have proved that scholarship athletes tend to underperform in their academic. One of my teammates, he is now a freshman in college, dropped most of his classes playing basketball. Even though he did not receive scholarship to play, which mean he can focus much more on his studies and can still have fun playing basketball if he...

...Introduction The purpose of this report is to analyze and illustrate the geographical origins of eragrostis tef along with details of its global dispersion. The common name of the crop in Ethiopia is tef. It was chosen for its cultural significance and it’s importance Background In Ethiopia, about 4.9 million acres of land is devoted to its production every year. From 2003-2005 production statistics indicated that tef accounted for about 29% of the land and 20% of the gross grain production of all major cereal cultivation in the country (National Research Council). Eragrostis tef belongs to the grass family Poaceae, and is species of Eragrostis. It contains about 350 species and tef is the only cultivated cereal (Seyfu). Its name tef is originated from the Amharic word yate-tef-ah, which means, “lost”. Since the grains are so small they are easily misplaced (Kloman). It is the world’s smallest food grain and is as small as a grain of sand. It also has quite similar traits to other grains such as quinoa and millet. Tef grows anywhere from 30 to 120 cm in height, with slim stems and long, narrow, smooth leaves. It is a loose or compact panicle. The really small grains are 1.5 mm long, and there are about 2,700 seeds in a gram (Seyfu). The plant uses a Carbon 4 photosynthesis, which uses light efficiently while having low moisture demands. This gives the plant the ability to stand high heat and bright lighting therefore...

...Abstract Diabetes is a very serious disease often overlooked. Diabetes is a disease that affects 18.2 million people in the United States alone. This disease results when there is a high level of sugar in the blood for an extended period of time. It can be controlled by diet, exercise, pills and insulin injections. There are three main types of diabetes--Type I, which affects primarily the younger population; Type II, which primarily affects the population above 40; and gestational diabetes, which affects women during the third trimester of their pregnancy. While scientists do not know what causes diabetes, they do know that it is caused from a variety of factors that can vary from person to person. Examples of these factors are heredity, being overweight, and problems with beta cells, which are located in the pancreas. Diabetes can result in blurred vision, retinopathy, nerve problems, dry skin, and kidney issues. Diet plays a major role in the prevention of these problems. Sugar concentration in the blood is a major factor for diabetics, so understanding the sugar content of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates is essential. The goal from a diet perspective is to control your sugar in your bloodstream in such a way that the insulin in your bloodstream can manage it efficiently. In addition to diet, medication and exercise play a key role in controlling this disease. Currently, there is no known cure for diabetes. Introduction Diabetes is a chronic disease marked by high levels...
