...Individual Analyzing Internet Sources Week 2 What did you learn? I learned more than I expected from the Pearson student lab activities. In the first activity I knew most of the information presented, but in the second activity I learned quite a bit about researching a topic. I did not know that the URL .org is no longer limited to a non-profit or research organization; which makes it harder to use that as a reliable resource but it can still be useful. I learned it is important to look for non-bias opinions, information with publish dates are resourceful, research based, and the best domains to find good information on are .org, .gov, .mil, and .edu. Although just because the site has one of these domains it does not mean the resource is accurate or correct necessarily. What did you not learn? Well as I said in the previous paragraph in the first activity most of the information that was present I acquired before. The comparison between the library and the internet are basic knowledge to most people. The Library is based for research purposes, with trained staff to help you, but closes at certain times. The internet has multiple reasons for use, with no trained assistance, but it never closes. They each have great traits that can be used for study. I also knew it is not safe to purchase items online you must be careful when doing this. You need to do research and make sure the site is reliable. Some people think because a paper has a title and author that it is true but...

...Miscue Analysis Rhonda Lacefield EDU K-555 Instructor: Sherrie Ashley 12-7-11 Language and Reading Assessments Student Demographics Zavvyona is a 9 year old female who is currently in the fourth grade. She receives instruction in reading, math, science and social studies in a fourth grade classroom daily.

...Avoiding Identity Theft Gary Lee Kaplan University CM 220 Kelley Gordon Avoiding Identity Theft Ben Franklin once said “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” Well this has never been truer than in today’s hi-tech society where our personal information flows freely over the internet. Identity theft has become a wide-spread crime committed by thieves who use stolen personal information to commit various types of fraud. Simply put, identity theft is a crime that takes your personal information and uses it to open unauthorized accounts, make purchases and acquire loans without the victim’s knowledge. So in order to protect against identity theft citizens should understand how identity thieves work, guard their personal information, and learn what measures to take if this does happen to them. No one is safe from identity theft but the elderly are especially vulnerable. Americans over the age of 60 are the fastest growing segment of computer and Internet users today. And according to the FBI, they are also the targets of identity theft more often than anyone else (FBI, 2011). Identity thieves target senior citizens because they don't regularly check credit-card statements, review credit reports or monitor their bank statements. Identity theft can be broken down into two separate categories (Identity Theft & Identity Fraud) since it is actually a two part crime. Identity theft is the actual act of obtaining personal information...

...No. 1339 Information Sheet August 2001 Should I Lease or Buy? Steven W. Martin, Fred Cooke, Jr., David Parvin, and Scott Stiles I NTRODUCTION For many farms, machinery expense is the largest single production expense (Massey). Under current farm financial conditions, producers must search every avenue for opportunities to minimize costs and maximize returns. Producers have three basic options for meeting machinery needs: purchase the needed equipment, lease the needed equipment, or custom hire. Custom hire may work well for certain jobs, but often does not allow the amount of control many operations require. Like purchasing, leasing allows the producer to maintain control of the timeliness and quality of the work conducted on his or her farming operation. Therefore producers should evaluate leasing versus purchasing based on the economic opportunities that each provides. OVERVIEW Most leases consist of four basic components: • Periodic payment • Length of lease • Amount of use (hours, miles, etc.) • Residual Under a standard lease agreement, the lessee (farmer) agrees to pay the lessor (bank, credit corporation, dealer, etc.) a specified amount (payment) at certain intervals over a certain length of time. Three-year leases with annual payments are very common, but any arrangement is possible. The lease will generally specify the amount of annual use permitted under the base contract. Tractor leases often range from 300 to 1200 hours of annual use. The amount...

Third, the form of market structure in higher education from the perspective of the student, as well as the perspective of the providers of higher education Traditionally , higher education is regarded as a public good, benefiting not only the individuals but also the whole society by producing a wide variety of externalities or social benefits. In recent times, however, the chronic shortage of public funds for higher education, the widespread introduction of neo-liberal economic policies and globalization in every country and in every sector, and the growing presence and importance of the international law on trade in services by the World Trade Organization and the General Agreement on Trade and Services—has led to change in view of many that higher education is a public good, and introduce the concept of market by the sale and purchase of higher education, as if it is a normal commodity meant for trade. The very shift in perception on the nature of higher education from...

...The Origins of the Chinese Empire, to 220 C.E. these cities, built by rulers to move troops and supplies, were traveled by traders transporting such items as metal tools and utensils, lacquered wood plates and boxes, silk, pottery, gems, salt, and lumber. A money economy emerged, using copper coins called cash, with center holes for stringing them together for counting and carrying. China's towns and cities were likewise linked into a large economic system . Trade between China and distant lands A metal bell from the Zhou era. was difficult and dangerous, but by the era's end commerce was conducted by sea with Southeast Asia and by land routes crossing Central Asia. The Central Asian Connection Central Asia, a vast expanse to China's north and west where the climate was too dry for farming (Map 2), was home mainly to pastoral nomads who grazed herds on its plateaus and plains. Skilled on horseback, the nomads occasionally attacked Chinese settlements to carry off goods and supplies, but they also spread commerce and useful knowledge. Some nomads, for example, exchanged their Central Asian nomads connect China with other cultures Nomads and Chinese adopt horse riding and crossbows from each other Iron tools and weapons spread to China, enhancing farming and warfare hides, wool, and horses for Chinese silk, pottery, metalware, and wood products and then traded these items with other societies across Central Asia.
