...glitz and glam, and being able to dance next to some of my best friends has undoubtedly impacted me so positively that I couldn’t imagine being any other way. However, there is another side to the dance industry that is quite unnerving, and this is what I will be concentrating on in this Personal Interest Project (PIP). My PIP has a central focus on dancing, along with the concerns and influences that come with being a dancer. This area of enquiry has come from my love and passion for dance, what dancers think of their own body image, whether or not they...

...Huntington’s Disease Personal Reference: Down in the Neurology department sat four family members patiently waiting for what seems to be a never-ending check up. As the doctor’s office door peaked open my mother and aunt both walked out with despairing eyes. When I looked up the doctor was handing my mother a best-known neurologist information card. At that moment silence broke out amongst us, as we knew a whole new life experience was on our hands. At age 34 my Aunt Eve was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease. Background/Introduction: Huntington’s disease historical timeline indicates the first made known observation of the disease was by American physician George Huntington in 1872. Examining the symptoms and condition Dr. Huntington wrote a detailed account defining the hidden facts behind the disease. Yet it wasn’t until 1911 when Charles Davenport made major contributions in acknowledging and understanding the sings, symptoms and heritability of HD. The National Library of Medicine defines Huntington’s disease as a genetic degenerative disorder of neurons due to a defect in one part of the DNA. HD is recognized as a hereditary neurological disorder taking a devastating toll slowly diminishing an individual’s ability to speak, walk and reason. Because HD is a programmed genetic disorder its degeneration of nerve cells results in uncontrollable movements, emotional disturbance, and eventually memory loss. Signs: Early onset signs of HD typically trail...

...Ever wonder how YouTube came about? This paper will explain how and why multimedia is what it is today. How it started and how sites like Netflix and Hulu and other sites like these are thriving because of someone that wanted to use multimedia online. I can honestly say I do not remember the first time I used or watched multimedia on the internet. When I was in high school the internet was still relatively new and we were still learning on DOS and on Windows. That was my eighth and ninth grade years back in 1997 and 1998 respectively. Those days are long gone and it’s much easier to get videos or other forms of multimedia onto your computer and onto the internet. The term "multimedia" was first used in 1965 to describe a performance that combined music, lights, cinema, and performance art. In the history of multimedia development, technological advances have expanded the definition, and people have argued about how exactly the term should be used. Most people agree that the term multimedia should be used to describe a product that contains several types of media. For example, a multimedia website might feature text, graphics, and clickable sound files. (educationcenteronline.org) I can see how people could argue about something like this but at the same time, I think the arguments are invalid. In my opinion, multimedia is just about any video. It has picture, sound, and most can be clickable for sound. With the advent of the Internet and its growing prominence as news, entertainment...

...A Playdate with Jonathan Shayleen Halloran Indiana University Northwest A Playdate with Jonathan Jonathan Watters is an energetic, happy eight month old infant. His parents are very close friends of the family, so I am lucky to spend a large amount of time with him. Jonathan is very laid-back and quiet compared to his energetic older sister. Jonathan’s parents moved into a new home on Saturday, December 5th, so I took this opportunity to observe him as I was already scheduled to watch him that day. Over the course of the afternoon I was able to spend a great deal of time observing and rather than interview him, I performed small tests in an attempt to gauge Jonathan’s physical, cognitive and emotional development. Using these observations I was able to learn about his developmental process and see the milestones as noted in our book. Observation of Physical Developmental Milestones Jonathan is curious and very active during my observation. There are several different types of toys surrounding us in the living room. There is a television playing cartoons in the background, which Jonathan periodically stops to look at. Jonathan is teething so he drools quite frequently. After taking some time to fully wake up this morning, his mother Kelly drops him onto the middle of the play space and he is ready to play. To assess Jonathan’s developmental level, I record the gross and fine motor skills that he displays at this time. Gross Motor Development Motor skills are simply...

...I learned so much. Both, what I did not know before and about the real world and in science. Mrs. Owen taught me many methods of test-taking, studying, writing, and working in general. I understood every reason I transferred to HMA and loved learning there. I also learned so much from English 3P with Mrs. Edwards, 2 history classes with Dr. Nelson, Orchestra with Dr. Allard, dance with Ms. Jones, and pre-calculus with Mr. Harriger. They all taught me amazing philosophies, how to analyze many subjects, and how to act as a student. I can’t express my gratitude for what they have taught me. Also Mr. Brown, Mrs. Roche, Ms. Edsberg, and Mrs. Hankins have given me so much support in all my activities along with helping me let the world know of my trials for my own growth. I am grateful that I could be brought up to a higher level than I was at when I started at HMA, it has been and will be the most wonderful experience I would face. Tell me about a project you completed at HMA. I have completed a project in which I made a “How-To Video” for my previous English 3P class. I made a video and an information paper about playing the violin properly. It took analyzing my previous experiences playing the violin and how I learned music. I developed a method to teach basics of music theory and violin for certain learning types and described the fundamentals of music. I also researched violin teaching and a few terms for proper presentation. Also, for another final project in English, I made...

...Down syndrome: Observing Shannon Submitted by: Alfonse Bowman Arcadia University ED 584: Supporting Students with Low Incidence Disabilities Professor Hopkins Fall 2013 Introduction For our final paper I chose to research trisomy 21 or as it is known clinically, Down syndrome (DS). The primary reason I chose this low incidence disability is because I will make the transition from a regular education teacher to a special education teacher in the spring and I am already familiar with other low incidence disabilities. I realize that with my new role in a self-contained classroom it is important for me to understand the term Down syndrome and then see how the definition and behavioral traits impact the student, the teacher and the other students in an educational setting. This research paper will provide clinical and anecdotal information on DS with real-life observation of a student with Down syndrome. History of Disorder According to the National Down Syndrome Society (2013), during the early nineteenth century, John Langdon Down, an English physician, published an accurate description of a person with Down syndrome. It was this scholarly wok, published in 1866, that earned Down the recognition as the “father” of the syndrome. Although other people had previously recognized the characteristics of the syndrome, it was Down who described the condition as a distinct and separate entity. The United States Department of Health and Human Services Center for Disease Control...

...How Divorce Impacts Children Under the Age of 18 F. Jeanpierre Psychology Abstract In this research you will see how divorce impacts children under the age of 18. The effects are not universal. Divorce affects children differently based on their age, personality and sexuality. Divorce affects children both mentally and physically. In this research, you will see how divorce can impact children immediately as well as post divorce. I will start with infants, preschool age children, school-aged and then adolescents. Then you will see how divorce affects children spiritually. Furthermore, you will see how the affect of divorce varies based on the child's gender. Finally, in this research paper, you will see ways to help a child adjust after divorce. Infants The first age group is infants. Not too much is known on the affects of divorce for children under the age of 3. Some have speculated that children under the age of 3 does not always suffer from their parents divorced. Thus, sociologist and psychologist agreed that problems in personality can developed if the child had a strong bond between the parents and those bonds are broken due to the divorce. Professionals highly encourage parents to make arrangements so the potential, full affect of the divorce won’t impact the child as much. The conflict of divorce may not be understood by infants, but they can react to changes in the parent’s level of energy and involvement. Infants can lose their appetite, have an upset...

...Is Fifty the New “Over-the-Hill” for Marketing Professionals? Rejoining the “Corporate Band” after a Successful Solo Career Author’s note: After a couple of months of seeking re-entry into the workforce, I determined that those employers looking to fill traditional marketing, advertising and media sales positions seem disinterested in a “seasoned” professional. Are you someone who has faced a similar experience? Perhaps you are a hiring manager who disregards qualified but older candidates when sifting through resumes. If you fall into either of these categories, then this article is for you. If you are an individual of a certain age, then the names Don Henley, Sting, David Lee Roth and Stevie Nicks will mean more to your than just “outstanding solo recording artist”. You will know that at one time, these stars were part of some incredible bands. You will also know that these superstars, despite experiencing massive successes with solo careers, have all opted to regroup, so to speak, hooking up with former band-mates to recreate music magic that is as worthy and sellable today as it was back in its heyday. Yes, EDM, hip-hop, rap and auto-tuned pop dominate the airwaves and I-Tunes playlists, and these genres generate massive record sales and concert and radio advertising revenues. But thanks to video games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, plus a generation of parents who drove their kids to school and selected the in-car musical entertainment, boomer-parented children...

RICHARD LUMADUE STUDENT: CAROL J MOZEE The Providence Debate: Personally why should there be a debate about God, and his where about and how and what he can and can’t do? Who is in control? God is! I know to some people this may not be an appropriate way to start this research paper, but it is what it is and I feel sad that this is how the world thinks and appreciate our God, our Father and Friend. It’s all in defining everything, and not just seeing God’s work and taking, God’s word and believing in God for whom he is. Defining God’s Providence, all things happens according to God’s Sovereign Will, “ God is in control. Romans 8:28 “ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”. When one defines God’s providence it is referring to the way God governs the world. Does God really sit on His throne and dictate or rule the world? It is not surprising that there is some disagreement in the evangelical world concerning the control of God, His dealing with salvation especially as affected by Jesus and the freewill of mankind. Some theologians think that the three are in contradictory of each other. Are they really in conflict with each other’s or can all three exist in...

...Harrison Zacher Death and Dying Research Paper Bereavement The loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences to endure in a human lifetime. The grieving process often encompasses the survivors’ entire world and affects their emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and physical selves in unexpected ways. After a major loss, such as the death of a spouse or child, up to a third of the people most directly affected will suffer detrimental effects on their physical and/or mental health (Jacobs 1993). What is Grief and it’s Stages Grief refers to the psychological reaction to the bereavement, the death of a loved one. When a person dies who has been a close companion and with whom we have had a close bond with, many changes in our life have to be taken in. Death of a long-term partner can force on us a need to redefine ourselves and it is not an easy task. Grief becomes a problem when someone gets stuck in grief, this is know as “complicated grief” or “chronic grief”. Factors that contribute to this include a lack of family support and remaining overly focused on past memories. Returning to normal everyday activities is the most obvious sign that the grieving stage is over. Grieving becomes problematic when it lasts longer than six months. Signs of this include loneliness, emptiness, regret, not acknowledging the death, and avoiding places that would be reminders of the deceased person. It is only problematic if these symptoms are excessive and interfere...
