...How you chose your topic: For our 2016 Nation History Day topic we are focusing on William Williams Keen and his advancements in neurosciences and neurosurgery. We decided on this topic because we are both huge fans of the medical drama Grey's Anatomy. This show has inspired us Grey's Anatomy is interesting because as well as having a lot of drama, it has quite a bit of information about medicine and specifically surgery. We find this TV show topic very interesting, so when we were thinking about an NHD topic we decided that it had to be medical. We came upon the specific topic of William Keen when we heard his name mentioned in season 11 of Grey's anatomy. When we looked him up and discovered that his studies and discoveries were both exactly what we wanted to focus on as well as fitting the topic of exploration and exchange we decided to do him. How you selected your presentation category and created your project: We decided on a documentary because we felt that our topic could be more thoroughly explained with visuals. We also thought that Keen's story would make more sense told in person than in writing. We created the project by first collecting a lot of information on his life. Once we had enough, we made a script, including everything that we wanted to include. Finally, we were able to record our voices and put tog ether our pictures, videos,...

...Grey's Anatomy Today, it seems that medical dramas have touched a lot of American audiences’ emotional attention. It is the emotional feeling when people start to sob, laugh, or smile while watching the operation scene, the death of patients, or the relationships of the main characters. Why do Americans like that? One good reason is because it connects to individual Americans lives. People have to deal with medical problems all the times since they birth and have to confront with any kind of relationships as well. So, it is very easy that medical dramas tend to be more entertaining for American audiences now. There are several great medical dramas on T.V. Broadcast right now such as: House, ER, Scrubs. But the most popular one—Grey’s Anatomy has ranged in the top ten of The Nielsen ratings since it began. According to Wikipedia, “Grey’s Anatomy is one of former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s three favorite shows” Grey’s Anatomy is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American primetime television medical drama which shows on ABC.

...Grey’s Anatomy is a television series, that is classified as a medical drama. It is about the main character Meredith Grey’s life as a doctor, and the life of those around her. The series goes through a sequence of events, that are often life altering for the characters. Grey’s Anatomy is not just all about surgeries, and medical terms, it also conveys life lessons. “They say the bigger your investment, the bigger your return. But you have to be willing to take a chance. You have to understand you might lost it all. But if you take that chance, if you invest wisely, the payoff might just surprise you" (Grey’s Anatomy). This quote is not only motivational, but shows us that sometimes risks are worth taking because the outcome can be worthwhile....

...In Wikipedia discussions, editors point to similarities across the project as reasons to keep, delete, or create a particular type of content, article or policy. These comparisons may or may not be valid, but the invalid ones are generally so painfully invalid that there has been a backlash against the "other stuff exists" type of rationales. When used correctly, these comparisons are important as the encyclopedia should be consistent in the content that it provides or excludes. For example, Harmonizing file names of a set of images is a valid rationale for renaming file. (To a lesser degree, this applies to article titles as well, although article naming is more complex.) Trouble arises when legitimate comparisons are disregarded without thought or consideration of the Wikipedia:Five pillars. Contents [hide] 1 Deletion of articles 2 Creation of articles 3 Inherent notability 4 Precedent in usage 5 See also Deletion of articles[edit] The claim of "Other Stuff Exists" most often arises in article deletion debate, where it is often used in a poor manner. Examples: Keep There's an article on x, and this is just as famous as that. –LetsKeepIt! 04:04, 4 April 2004 (UTC) Delete We do not have an article on y, so we should not have an article on this. –GetRidOfIt! 04:04, 4 April 2004 (UTC) The nature of Wikipedia means that you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on what other articles do or do not exist, because there is nothing stopping anyone from creating...

...[Please do not circulate or cite without permission] Written Constitutions and Unwritten Constitutionalism Mark D. Walters Faculty of Law Queen’s University February 2007 To Be Published In: Grant Huscroft (ed.), Expounding the Constitution: Essays in Constitutional Theory (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming) I. Introduction Defending the idea of ‘unwritten law’ has never been easy. Jeremy Bentham thought the very expression to be a ‘paradoxical and unmeaning epithet’.[1] In his view, social reform required ‘fixed and accurate’ laws—laws that ‘[w]e see, we hear, we touch; in short we handle…’[2] This empirical concept of law follows from the ideal of law as something produced by conscious acts of sovereign will. Central to this concept are, to use H.L.A. Hart’s expression, ‘rules of change’ that permit societies to escape the confines of ‘primitive’ custom.[3] The progressive march of legal theory, it may be said, has been away from medieval notions of law as customs practiced time out of mind or as the immutable dictates of natural law, away from the fiction that judges discover rather than make law, and towards modern notions of law as creative political acts recorded in writing. In terms of constitutional law, this march leads to the idea of written constitutionalism, a destination that the rebelling American colonists are often said to have reached first.[4] It was a task especially ‘reserved’ to the American people, wrote...

...新浪微博:涵张 weibo.com/rickyhanzhang 序言 序言(一) ——陈起永 “打入” 在我看来, 张涵是中国托福考生的宝贝, 因为他是稀有的甚至是迄今仅有的真正 美国 ETS 托福出题组内部的中国大陆人。凭借他出色的口语和美式思维方式,张涵成为参 与托福出题的中国人,这即使在美国所有的常春藤盟校(包括张涵的母校宾夕法尼亚大学) 及其他美国大学的中国留学生中也是前无古人的创举。 张涵对于中国托福考生的价值就在于,他了解出题者的思路,因为他就是口语考题的 出题者;他了解答题的思路,因为很多答案的得分点是他参与制定的;更为重要的是,他的 思路与其他出题者的思路是一致的。因此,张涵对参加托福考试考生的指导,是绝对权威的。 为了让更多的中国托福考生能够取得好成绩,我一直建议张涵出一本书来惠及更多的 中国学生。由于与 ETS 有保密约定,因此张涵不能透露任何他所出过的题目,但这本书, 却是张涵想到的两全其美方案的结晶:一方面,在这本书中张涵没有透露任何的自己有参 与出题的题目;另一方面,张涵用出题者的逻辑和思路为中国学生提供了新的视角。 在我看来,这本书对学生的价值,就好比哈佛商学院提倡的案例教学法对于其学生的 价值。我的一位哈佛商学院的教授说过,他并不能代替企业家或者职业经理人去更好地经 营企业,他可以告诉我们的只是其他企业是如何成功和失败的案例。 因此,我一直习惯性地把张涵的这本书对托福考生的指导意义与哈佛商学院之案例教 学法对企业家和职业经理人的指导意义进行类比 . 但仔细思考之后,我又坚信张涵的这本书 对托福考生的指导意义要远远大于哈佛商学院之案例教学法对企业家和职业经理人的指导 意义,因为要做好一个企业,仅仅跑到哈佛商学院去学习是远远不够的,而要参加托福口 语考试,就像这本书的名字一样,“看这本就够了”。 III 托福口语看这本就够了 序言(二) ——程来川(猴哥) 一周托福口语提高 6 分的奇迹 猴哥有一个学生,托福 95 分,其中阅读 27、听力 25、写作 25,但是口语 18 分。这个 时候,离申请前最后一次托福考试的时间只有一周 . 很明显,口语拖了他的后腿,托福如果 不到 100 分,大量的学校将不能申请 . 这个时候我能想到名字只有一个,“张涵”!也许 , 只有他能创造奇迹 . 4 个小时的 1 对 1 课程,让学生的托福口语成绩 , 发生了无法想像的变化 . 第一个小时,发现问题,帮助学生建立自信。只需简单的几句,张涵就发现了学生的 问题并不是口语的发音,也不是单词,或者句式,而是没有说到正确的点子上,并且由于 长期口语考试分数低,学生对托福口语考试失去了自信。张涵通过第一个小时的课程,告 诉学生, 虽然只剩下一周时间, 但是由于问题已经找到, 而如何答题是可以短时间训练的 (并 不像口语能力 , 需要较长时间的训练),所以一定要有信心。学生按照张涵在课上所提供的 方法试着组织自己的思维和语言,结果很快找到了窍门 . 学生的自信找回来了 ! 第二、三个小时 , 张涵针对他的问题,为其制定了每个题型的答题方案和训练方法。 第四个小时 , 张涵带着学生进行了大量的训练和纠错,并且为其安排了课程结束之后 几天的训练计划 . 与此同时 , 正确的考试心态也是他讲解的重点 . 学生自信满满的结束了四 个小时的课程。 一周后的托福考试,这个学生考了 107 分,其中口语是 24 分,一周提高了 6 分。这是 ...
