...How To Change Your 2005 Honda Pilot Oil WRTG 393 Christopher Bloss June 10th, 2015 INTRODUCTION Changing your oil is just like changing the cat litter box – dump out the old crap, inspect for any issues, and fill up with new, fresh goods. The only difference is – if you make a mistake during the change process, you can cause permanent damage to your motor. This manual details the process of changing the oil in a 2005 Honda Pilot. This manual was written for the average DIY-er who has a basic understanding of engine maintenance. This manual is broken down into several thorough steps to help explain the process from understanding the purpose of an oil change, the need for changing the oil, and steps for at home oil changes. Motor Oil Purpose: There are 5 main purposes of motor oil: protection, lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and restoration of performance (Arnold, n.d., para 1). According to Arnold (n.d.), “Motor oil creates a slippery coating of lubrication so that the moving parts can move more fluidly. Without the oil's lubrication, the friction in the moving parts of the motor is greatly compromised and the compression is decreased, resulting in the inability to reach optimal levels of speed and performance.” Oil lubrication creates protection for the moving engine parts without this lubrication; the metal engine parts begin to degrade. As oil travels through the engine, the debris is collected and cleans the metal parts within the motor (Arnold, n.d., para...

...to operate the craft. So I would be perfect to create an instruction manual for operating a 34ft Patrol Craft. More likely you have no clue what a 34ft SeaArk Patrol Craft is or what one might look like. Which makes it even more of a fun challenge to me on explaining all the details about the craft. I can first tell you about all the capabilities of the craft, then get more into how you start it and actually operate the craft. There are some technical words I would have to explain like some of the positions for example on the craft. Coxswain for instances, is the person that is completely in charge of the craft and its safety and the safety of the crew that is on board. It might seem like as you’re reading this that I might not be able to instruct you on how to operate this craft. I will be able to put the instruction manual into words that a person that has never been on a boat will be able to understand. I promise that if I can teach/train some of the most brand new sailors to the navy to operate the craft. Then I know for a fact by the time you’re done reading my instruction manual, you’ll be able to walk onto a 34ft SeaArk and go to work. I mean if the United States Navy trusts in me to teach/train junior personnel to operate these 15 million dollar patrol crafts, I think I more than qualify to write an instructor manual for it. So I ask you to entrust in me as well and let me make this instruction manual for you....

...tests included color in various settings; each produced results that favored color. The degree of color depends on what is being demonstrated in the picture. If the instruction calls for a specific part of the pictured object to be manipulated, coloring just that part proves most effective. If the intended audience is people with poor reading and interpreting skills, then it is highly recommended that color be used in this manner. All the results from the research suggest that people who are easily frustrated with instructions prefer highlights to black and white, and full color. Furthermore, the color should be strictly limited to the major functions of the task being illustrated. Unnecessary highlights increase the complexity, and in turn the understandability of the picture. A further recommendation can be made concerning the amount of highlighting that should be used. The number of different colors in any given picture instructing a complex task should be limited. When highlighting the important functions of the task, only a small range of colors should be included. If a broad range of colors is used, the reader could interpret their meaning incorrectly. They could, for example, think one color is more important than another is or think that the colors are implying a sequence in the instructions. If the picture is of a general object or action with no focus, then using full color, as opposed to black-and-white, is more effective. Overall, color is more attractive...

Again, the lining up keeps the children on task and performing as expected Transition Between Areas: This routine is important because it is a time when students may be tempted to act out and cause distraction and noise. As a routine, the steps of listening to the instruction, being given jobs and then explained the task or assignment. The teacher’s instruction builds on all the routines of keeping order and having less chaos in the classroom. The children know what is expected and can expect consistency and learn it as a daily routine. Distribution of Materials: The teacher gathers the students together around her. She assigns "jobs" to the students. These jobs are different each day for the students. The "supplier" is instructed on what items to retrieve for their groups. This keeps each group on task and synced in time for the assignment given. Field Trip: As in the beginning and end of day routines, the students line up. They line up inside in order for them to stay together and calm. When the teacher gives the instruction the students then walk to the boarding area in line and in orderly...

...to ensure good service to the student. It is not only an observation but also an existence. The author points out that most teachers have a negative view of supervision and the relationship between the teacher and supervisor can be hostile and only provides summative evaluation. To counteract the situation, the clinical supervision model was introduced to propose that teachers can be familiar with the evaluate approach of clinical supervision. Under this model, the following supervisory requirements for successful implementation of clinical supervision are identified: teachers should learn specific intellectual and behavioral skills to improve instruction. Supervisors should take responsibility for helping teachers to develop skills for analyzing the instructional process and emphasize what and how teachers teach, to improve instruction not to change the teacher’s personality. Planning and analysis should center on making and testing instructional hypotheses based on observational evidence. The planning conference is to establish a common frame of reference for the planning observation, also establish rapport between the teacher and those supervising. The lesson plans should be implemented during the observation and discussed. Observation: the purpose is to improve an objective record to mirror what the teacher actually said and did during the instructional process. The role of the supervisor is to observe, stay neutral not to interact or interfere in the classroom activities...

...Are private instructions really worth the investment? Every child loves to play a sport but not everyone is talented. With a little coaching by a private instructor a child’s dream of becoming great at a sport can come true. With private instruction, children and their parent’s can be proud of the possible outcome. Private instruction is definitely worth the investment for various reasons. First financial commitment should be something the child and parent are focused on. A parent shouldn’t sign a child up for private instructions unless they really need them too. The child shouldn’t feel like their wasting their parent’s hard-earned money. Also time commitment is an important key to great results. If you are dedicated to the private instruction no matter how many days or hours they are you will be there. The time you put in for your instructions will show. For example if your classes are three times a week but you show up once a week don’t except to be the best at what you’re doing. Be dedicated, to the days, hours and be on time, never slack. Finally the level of competition in which you as the parent asking yourself does my child really needs one-on-one instructions. Sign your child up if he/she is trying to be the best athlete they can be on a high school or college competition level. They’ll get one-on-one attention catered around their needs and skills and have someone dedicated just to them and their sports success. A four through maybe eleven year old will...
