...The eye is a complex optical and a very interesting sense organ. They are at work from the moment you wake up to the moment you close them to go to sleep! Eyes take in tons of information about the world around you; shapes, colors, movements, and more! Throughout reading chapter three, I have learned so much about the eye and how it works! There are three aspects to the perception of light. One of these aspects is brightness, which is determined on how high or low the wave actually is. When the wave is higher, the brighter the light becomes or appears to be. The length of the wave determines the color. The long wavelengths are originated at the red end of the visible spectrum. The shorter ones appear at the blue side. The last aspect to perception is saturation. This refers to the clarity of the color people observe. A less-saturated red may contain a mixture of wavelengths, but a highly saturated red will only include red wavelengths. The eye is like a camera. The external object is seen like the camera takes the picture of any object. Light enters through a small hole called the pupil. It changes size depending on the amount of light there is. Light waves are bent by the cornea and focus the image on the retina, which is like a camera film that consists of photoreceptor cells. Fovea is the central area of the retina, which is the greatest density of photoreceptors. The image formed on the retina is transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve. When the optic...

...The roles of vision and eye movements in the control of activities of daily living Michael Land, Neil Mennie, Jennifer Rusted; 1999 Experimental question: Are eye movements essentially random, or are they intimately related to the requirements of the motor task? Are fixations directed specifically to the places from which information is needed? Can can the eye-movement pattern thus be thought of as an integral part of the motor program itself Rationale: The strategy of the oculomotor system is to keep the center of gaze very close to the point at which the info is extracted (few letters/notes etc) Eye movements precede motor actions by a fraction of a sec (Ballard et al ‘92) Specific movement for choosing block, checking its color and its position Eye movements are very tightly coupled (time+space) with motor actions What makes this study special: Non-repetitive 40-50 acts to make a cup of tea each requires a new set of motor actions thus a new set of eye movements Are eyes required to produce an action or are they called up when specific info is required? are they proactive or reactive Natural setting (1st study ever to be conducted in every-day environment) Tea making is a well-known activity Does not require top-down feedback Once learned occurs “automatically” Methods: 3 subjects (male, 55; female, 28; male, 46) Small university kitchen counter on the left of the door sink straight in front fridge on the left seen the kitchen...

My sister would come home every day with a new fun and interesting story about her experiences in New Visions. She told me how I could gain valuable skills like time management and learning to study for exams before actually going to college. I am also aware that the New Visions Program offers many college credits. As a visual learner I am eager to get the hands on experience this program provides. In addition, it is a good way to begin exploring my options in the medical field before having to decide on a career path. I would like to go into the medical...

...ethical issues as shown in the film? * * Introduction * The film selected was called the Second Line located at www.responsiblity-project.libertymutual.com for this assignment. In review this information one will see that the world does not revolve our daily actions of life. The film gave a different approach in viewing the world and surrounding. The Second Line The purpose of this short film was to display how many individuals go about their lives living in a tunnel vision world. In the film Danny Glover the actor was shown as a business man who did not pay any attention to anything in his surrounding as he journey to work. In the world of which we all live many people are so caught up in their own world, not even taken the time to smell the flowers. People who tend to live in such a matter are not just blind to their own needs but also the needs of their community. The term tunnel visions which can be describe as one who is only focus on things within narrow vision. The main character of this film display this very term. This short film showed the main character who started out his day having car trouble. He really did not try any other options to see what the problem with his vehicle was. His goal was to get to work due to time that reflected on his watch. The issue I took from the film is neglect in not broadening his horizon in contributing to his community. As citizen there are times one must give back to the community of which they live in...

...como podemos darnos cuenta en que áreas podemos crecer o mejorar para hacer más fuertes nuestras fortalezas y defendernos de las debilidades. Lo que mas me gusto de la conferencia fue que compartió experiencias reales, y anécdotas que le han pasado durante su estancia en ese trabajo, ya que realmente podemos saber a que nos enfrentaremos, en este caso, si llegamos a trabajar en una consultoría. También me gusto que fuera directamente al grano, y explico de manera breve pero muy clara todo lo que se requería, además de que respondió varias dudas de varios alumnos. Como ya mencioné, me parece muy interesante ver como un Ingeniero Industrial puede dedicarse a varias cosas, y algunas muy distintas entre ellas, por lo cual creo nos da una visión hacía el futuro muy amplia para ver hacia donde queremos dirigirnos. Otra cosa que me gusto fueron los diferentes tips para las entrevistas que dio, ya que creo es algo que todos podremos utilizar, cuando sea necesario. Realmente yo no le cambiaría nada, ya que realmente cumplió con explicarnos todo lo que el realiza, así como la empresa donde trabaja y sobre los distintos proyectos en los que ha sido...

...ENSAYO: EL PELIGRO DE PERMANECER EN LA ZONA SEGURA El Peligro de permanecer en la zona segura: Cómo romper con el hábito de la titularidad que acaba con las empresas En gran parte de los análisis empresariales se parte de premisas generales, que den base de comparación global para saber qué lugares tienen las condiciones idóneas para desarrollar un proyecto. Lo anterior se traduce a inversiones y, al menos en México, es benévolamente publicada toda la inversión extranjera. Se desarrollará entonces el presente desde una panorámica nacional con algunos indicadores numéricos comparativos a nivel mundial que ayuden a ejemplificar, desde el punto de vista particular, la observancia de la conducta de titularidad. PricewaterhouseCoopers en su estudio Saratoga1 publicado en febrero pasado indica que México es el país en Latinoamérica con el mayor porcentaje de rotación de personal con el 17.8%, mientras que 11.2% a nivel LATAM, 8.4% para EU y 10% para Europa, por resultado es de los más altos a nivel mundial. Con este dato acerca de rotación, a primera vista, es difícil de considerar que las empresas mexicanas tienen problemas de titularidad, pero a su vez, puede ser causa de la misma. En el contexto propio se aprecian los síntomas de titularidad en todos los órganos socio-económicos, esta conducta de estancamiento que parece estar infiltrada en la cultura. En la opinión poblacional hacia lo gubernamental se dice que la titularidad viene a destruir la mayoría de los intentos de...

...because we believe we don't have any options for anything better. Staying with a job merely because we've found a level of comfort there through familiar faces, routine tasks or a level of salary that we can survive on doesn't mean we've found what can ensure a lifetime of happiness. Many with a college degree who restricted their vision to openings only within their field of expertise have discovered that. Yet, you might be surprised to learn that the percentage of people who are actually working in the field they specifically received a degree in is quite small. In most cases, we major in that which we believe offers the greatest opportunity for success at the time. Newspapers report a severe shortage of engineers and suddenly many of those intent on success major in engineering. Or teaching. Or law. It becomes the 'soup of the day' syndrome. We spend four or more years studying a field and, with the cost involved, we assure ourselves we truly love this avocation. Five or ten years down the road, we discover it's lost its allure. But we allow whatever perks and salary we've achieved to convince us we are locked into this life. Our field of vision shrinks to only that which we currently do. It doesn't make us happy. It doesn't fulfill the dream of what we could be. We accept it because we believe that's the way life is. What we need to do is evaluate what we get out of work versus what we would like to get. Where does money rate on your scale? How about happiness? Work...

...VISION DEL CAMBIO EN CURITIBA La visión de Jaime Lerner está basada en un desarrollo urbanista en el que las personas son el centro del desarrollo de las políticas de gobierno y un crecimiento de la ciudad que no padeciera la problemática de las urbanizaciones comunes. Implica: • Desarrollar iniciativas económicas, rápidas, sencillas, locales y enfocadas a las personas; sin afectar otros sistemas y así proporcionar los servicios necesarios para la comunidad. • Planear con una visión urbanista y desarrollar nuevos procedimientos acordes al crecimiento demográfico de la ciudad y de los problemas presentes. • Generar una conciencia de participación comunitaria en ciudadanos, empresas y gobierno, buscando como objetivo común el desarrollo de Curitiba. • Aprovechar los recursos disponibles. BREVES PROPUESTAS PARA EL LOGRO DEL CAMBIO El éxito del caso Curitiba se debe a que sus propuestas tuvieron un enfoque creativo que permitió dar propuestas integrales a los problemas prioritarios marcados por las necesidades de la ciudad. Principales propuestas: • Cambios y obras aprovechando la naturaleza y sus recursos en vez de ir contra ellos: conservación de áreas verdes, saneamiento de ríos y el uso eficiente del agua • Mejoras en el transporte y uso de suelo • Nuevos procedimientos de salud y los niños, la planeación familiar y el cuidado de los menores en el sector salud. • Asegurar un gobierno transparente y honesto. • Realizar campañas de reciclaje y separación...
