...been successful to me because it helps me with remembering the material. tudying reassures that when it’s time to take a test you’re going to be successful in completing the material. Note-Taking While reading the material, you’re able to take the time to stop and jot down notes; something like a little summary of the text you just read. In the past, when reading the material, if I didn’t write down notes, I would totally forget what I read. It’s a great way to go back and review the text instead of going back to read the textbook. When preparing for a test, I usually re-read the textbook and read over the notes that I took ,but sometimes if you have good note-taking skills, reviewing your notes would sound like a little summary of the text. Flashcards You’re able to create definitions of the important text that might be on the test. When it’s not the exact words that I’m getting tested on, I usually create important information on a flashcard with a context clue for a hint. A good use of memorization, with a flashcard, you’re able to create the flashcard to where you are able to remember it at the best of your knowledge. In the past, when I had a upcoming test, I would create flashcards and use useful hints that would help me remember what is on the test and then ask my friend to test me on the material until...

...Rules of thumb for climate change turned upside down: Wet and dry regions recalculated Date: September 14, 2014 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: With a new analysis of land regions, climate researchers are challenging the general climate change paradigm that dry regions are getting drier and wet regions are getting wetter. In some regions they are encountering divergent trends.

In some regions they are encountering divergent trends. Related Articles Climate Dune Global climate model Season Desert Savanna Based on models and observations, climate scientists have devised a simplified formula to describe one of the consequences of climate change: regions already marked by droughts will continue to dry out in the future climate. Regions that already have a moist climate will experience additional rainfall. In short: dry gets drier; wet gets wetter (DDWW). However, this formula is less universally valid than previously assumed. This was demonstrated by a team of ETH climate researchers led by Peter Greve, lead author of a study recently published in Nature Geoscience. Traditional analyses use technology that can comprehensively describe climate characteristics above the ocean, but is problematic over land...

...In the past week, I collected some data relating to the time taken for getting ready to leave for work by me in the morning. I was able to determine bottlenecks in my current process. “ A bottleneck is any resource whose capacity is less than the demand placed upon it. A bottleneck is a constraint within the system that limits throughput”( Chase ,2006). There were several bottlenecks in my current process that I could identify. I was also able to apply the Goldratt’s theory of constraints. “The first step in Goldratt’s theory of constraints is to identify the system constraint and decide how to exploit the system constraints and subordinate everything else to that decision”( Chase,2006). To improve a process and increase efficiency, bottlenecks in the process must be identified. “To maximize the system production the slowest process must be improved, and all other processes are regulated to the speed of the slowest process”.(Taylor, 2008).One of the bottlenecks identified by me from my data analysis of the process of getting ready for work was when the alarm rings, whether to get up immediately or hit the snooze button and sleep a little more. I averaged an additional 10 minutes in the process because of hitting the snooze button of the alarm clock several times before finally getting out of bed. To overcome this bottleneck, I must wake up when the alarm rings for the first time and not hit the snooze time. I must go...

...Current Event Summary/Synopsis “Women Are Back On the Job” Shaniece Twitty Hist. 1320-11 October 23, 2012 2:25-3:40 While women are said to be equal in today‘s society, this was not the case in previous centuries. In the 1800s a woman’s ultimate purpose was to find a man and reproduce. However, women are finding their way back into the workforce. “Women Are Back On the Job” by Tami Luhby. This article appeared on CNN Money, October 19, 2012, from the website http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/19/news/economy/women-jobs/index.html?iid=SF_E_River. The economic upswing is now becoming more balanced between the genders. The number of women employees has jumped 300,000 in the past six months, nearly the same amount as men. In September, each men and women saw a job gain of 57,000. It increased overall in the United States as a whole. As governments looked to become stricter financially, they reduced funding for job support initiatives, particularly subsidized child care programs that allow poor women to seek and retain jobs. Women were hit hard during the private sector, in schools which accelerated in 2011 after stimulus funds ran out. Governments were still shedding jobs after the private sector. Governments have finally begun to stem jobs losses over the past year. School districts started the strongest summer hiring since 2006, offering teaching jobs within the school(Tami Lahby). At this time women are still climbing their way to the top. It all comes down to women who are...

...Fischer V.S. The University of Texas If you do everything right when it comes to getting into college, there’s a chance you still will be rejected from the school of your dreams. That’s exactly what happened to Abigail Fischer when she applied to the University of Texas at Austin. Although Fischer was not in the top 10% of her class, she was close, residing in the top 12%. “The University, which is committed to increasing racial minority enrollment, adopted its current program after this Court decided Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U. S. 306 , upholding the use of race as one of many “plus factors” (Justia). When Fischer learned that she had not made it into the school of her dreams, she believed that it was because the school had discriminated...

Even now, a lot of digital information beyond imagination is being accumulated all over the world. Not only the amount of information is increasing, but the production rate of one is also getting speedy. This explosion of information has some reasons. The main reason is technology development. It can actualize things which were impossible in the past. The digital technology changes a lot of information into digitization. Also, many people utilize them with the powerful mean digital device. Men communicating by information contributed to increase the amount of information. Humans who escaped from illiteracy and economic hardship have generated many kinds of information, which are utilized in several fields such as politics, economy, law, culture, science, and so on. The production rate of information is faster than the speed of technology development. Though the digital devices handling the information are getting various, storage space is not enough to store the increased information. Sea is not calm, but it has that big waves. Likewise, lots of information comes to our life. It is important to judge what information is...

...Behavior Change Summary My behavior change project was to get more sleep at night. The goal of my behavior change plan was to get at least seven or eight hours of sleep and to determine the amount of sleep that was best for my body. I wanted to feel energized when I woke up in the morning, and to continue that feeling throughout the day. My plan was to have set times that I would need to be in bed by. I began with the amount of sleep I was currently getting each night, which was only about four or five hours. I then increased the amount of sleep I was getting by a half hour, and continued to get that amount of sleep for a week, until I increased the amount by another half hour. I repeated this process each week until I received eight hours of sleep per night. I was not to take any naps during the day if I did not receive the planned amount of sleep that night. The reason for this type of plan was because I knew I would not be able to just increase the amount of sleep to eight hours right off the bat. I needed to gradually get my body used to that kind of sleep each night. I feel that in a sense I did accomplish my goal. Although I am not at exactly eight hours of sleep per night, I have found the number of hours of sleep each night that my body needs to feel rejuvenated. I have found that eight hours of sleep each night is too much for my body. I wake up feeling way too tired. However, when I was at weeks three, four, and five, I woke up feeling awake and energized and it stayed...

...Over the past decade, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have been working together to form a set of global standards. They are trying to make the International Financial Reporting Standards the globally accepted financial reporting principles. 1. As an international manager or investor, what benefits do you see from the growing adoption of IFRS across countries? Growing the adoption of IFRS across countries will allow for more comparable financial statements and disclosures globally. Investors and other financial statement users will be able to see how international companies compare to one another. Currently, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) varies from IFRS in many ways, some causing significant differences in accounting for certain topics. Growing the adoption will also allow companies and all its subsidiaries to use the same set of standards. 2. In your mind, what are the three most substantial challenges to the growth and development of IFRS in the coming years? Why? The three most substantial challenges to the growth and development of IFRS in the coming years are “convergence” or full adoption of IFRS, large costs of adopting IFRS, and the disagreement with the EU. Convincing all nations to adopt IFRS as is, with no specific national standards stepping in, is going to be a difficult process. “Convergence is an impossible dream. You will always find issues where you basically...

...Critical Thinking Discussion and Summary June 30,2015 PHL/320 Stephen Mersereau Critical Thinking Discussion and Summary Critical thinking is being able to make a decision with the facts rather than making the decision based on opinions. Having the opportunity with the task at hand making the important decision you must know between right and wrong. You must be able to know the difference between facts and the opinions. I see it first hand that people make decisions based on what facts they are told rather than choosing to educate themselves and learn the true facts. In critical thinking you must be able and understand that it is your choice and responsibility to learn the facts before making an important decision. Being a critical thinker means you are willing to learn and research topics before you are ready to make an important decision. Critical thinking is important because it helps you learn more and allows you to look further into things that you may choose not to. In the past seven months I have been faced with a health decision and I knew that just listening to the doctors wasn’t enough. After leaving the doctor's appointment a few weeks back I knew I had to make a decision and fast. Due to me playing sports growing up and getting a tattoo that got infected I had caused a lot of damage to my ankle and had to choose to either have Reconstruction Surgery within a few weeks or try physical therapy to see if I can try to fix the damage by strengthening.

...Summary, “watakushi no Furusato watakushi no Nihon” It was interesting to me how I a Japanese citizen could completely relate to what is said in the article. The article portrays a strong image of Japan which initiates a culture of “reviving the golden age”, reviving the past which we all miss or could even be said as looking back to what life was for the forefathers and on what all this superficiality is built on. Japan, as we all know is a country rich in history, traditions and culture. Many countries have a similar system but what makes Japan unique is the perseverance of its people to preserve them on a consistent note. Many of our cultures die out over time , but a certain period later we understand the value of it when we start becoming alien towards it. The article talks about how the Japanese have imbibed the “Furusato” culture of going back to the nostalgia which is created in the mindsets as a result of many factors and because of the continuous, monotonous life style they follow giving less importance to how they live . Its during these 2 times of the year during Oshogatsu and Obon, that we feel like visiting out furusatos. Furuatos have been marketed to a certain extent by all the major marketers for different results. Furusatos represent the life of the villages , going back to the villages , understanding their respective culture. The importance of going back to their roots through the idea of Furusatos is clearly displayed in the expedition with...
