...In our presentation we are going to discuss Citing Periodical Print Publication (Magazine). But before we start we need to know what is periodical, which things can be called periodicals and what do we understand by magazine. Periodical: A publication issued at regular intervals, usually monthly or weekly. * Daily Newspapers * Monthly Magazines * Bi-Monthly (Two Months) * Quarterly (Every three months) * Semi-Annual (Every Six months) Magazine: Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. Example: McEvoy, Dermot. “Little Books, Big Success.” Publishers Weekly 30 Oct. 2006: 26-28 Print. Citing an article in a magazine using MLA: To cite a magazine published every week or every two weeks, we have to give the full date followed by a colon, the inclusive page numbers of the article and the medium of publication consulted.

...Color Psychology Paper Research Question: How does color affect one’s mood? Review of Literature: Colors may just seem simple and unimportant, but they affect our daily lives more than we may know. If someone is feeling angry, it could just be because they’re angry, or it could be perhaps that they are surrounded by or looking at the color red. That’s right! People’s moods can change just because they are looking at different colors! There are many theories on how just a simple color can change one’s whole mood. According to Johnson (2007), color does affect mood by producing certain chemicals and stimulating different feelings such as hunger. For example, blue can make one feel calm because it releases calming chemicals, and red can make one hungry because it is an appetite stimulant. Yellow can make one feel irritated, and it is a fact that people lose their temper most in yellow rooms. However, pink is tranquilizing and can make one feel weak. In conclusion, Johnson says that depending on the color, one’s body can do things (like producing chemicals) that cause a certain emotional reaction (mad, sad, etc.). Another idea, by Smith (2007), is that the effect color produces is based on what one’s body does in response. For example, yellow is mentally stimulating, and activates memory, whereas red increases confidence. Also, brown can make a person feel orderly and stable, while a dark blue can make one feel sad. Therefore, Smith says that different colors do in fact change...

PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH PAPER: One of the aims of History of Art and Design is to develop a historical and critical sensibility about artistic and cultural production. To test this ability, you will prepare a research paper about an object of art or design of your choice, based on the “Five Contexts of Art and Design” topics of this semester: MAKING, STYLE, IDEOLOGY, USE and MEANING. 2. CONTENT OF THE RESEARCH PAPER: Your chosen artwork/design CAN NOT be from an artist or an example that has been discussed in class. Check the course syllabus for a list of all works that are in the lectures. You are advised to choose a well-known work of a famous artist/designer so that you can easily find sources related to that work. You are discussing your chosen object, NOT its photograph. Do not talk about your object’s image but its ACTUAL three-dimensional reality, as much as you can understand it. Keep in mind the sub-themes for each of the themes of the semester because you will write about ONE sub-theme from each theme. | | | | |MATERIALS: How the choice of materials made by the artist or designer influences the form of the end | | |product. ...

...two major forms of particular research advantage in that both parent firms (i.e. retained or continuing entities) and subsidiaries are publicly listed on stock exchanges and thus their firm-specific information (stock prices, bond prices, financial statements, corporate events, etc.) is observable to researchers. Through asset selloffs, the parent company takes out part or whole of assets in the wholly owned divisions or subsidiaries and sells to third party for cash or distribute the ownership shares to existing shareholders as stock dividend so that the new entity’s operation is separate from the parent’s. In a spinoff, a new corporate is created and its shares are transferred to existing shareholders on a pro rata basis and publicly traded on stock exchanges which may or may not be different from where the parent is listed. In contrast to non-cash-involvement characteristic of a spinoff, an equity carveout is an initial public offering (IPO) of a portion of the parent company to outside investors in exchange for cash. Usually parent firms hold a minority interest in the carved-out subsidiaries. Other than corporate restructuring characteristic as shown in a spinoff, an equity carveout transaction also involves management’s financing decision since cash plays a role in. In general, spinoff and equity carveout are regarded as the reversed transactions of stock offer and cash offer in merger deals, respectively. A rich body of previous research activity has been made on spinoff...

...are able to live here as we do. We believe that the American frontier is this grand historical past of our growth as a nation. However, the country we know today as the United States of America was originally inhabited by natives such as the Native Americans, or Indians as they are commonly known as, and Mexicans who were robbed of their homeland in order for the white man to take over control. As citizens of this country, it is important to know how the natives were treated and portrayed in literature in order to become educated about our country and the people that inhabited this land before us. Being ignorant about a particular culture leads to misguided feelings and judgments that are not normally acceptable. By looking at examples from John Smith’s The Chesapeake Indians, Mary Rowlandson’s A True History of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, and Frederick Jackson Turner’s The Significance of the Frontier in American History, we will see that natives were portrayed negatively in popular literature and why it is important to understand how they are represented is justified by the colonial expansion of the American frontier. In early literature written by English settlers, Native Americans were portrayed with very negative connotations. The writers often used words such as: brutal, dark, uncivilized, and savage to depict the native people and their actions. This is because the English settlers believed that they were inferior to the natives and assumed that...

...WORLDVIEW Worldview Timothy Lyle Haas Liberty University Abstract Worldview is the framework of beliefs from which a person views the world overall.

Raleigh, N.C.: Alex Catalogue) Biblical/Christian worldview How did life begin? Many have raised this question and different responses over time have been set forth to this question. Our discussion is a biblical answer, Genesis 1.1-31 states God created everything, the Universe, and all life on earth. Naturalism states that this has always been and over time, what observed today is the result, We as Christians see this different, God created all in ex nihilo, not do to random events. Psalms 139:13-16 identifies God as the first cause and creator. Being Human The question of what is it to be human has many divides.

...Skloot tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman, who became the source of the first line of immortal cells. Henrietta was born Loretta Pleasant in Roanoke, Virginia in 1920. Henrietta lived a typical life for a poor African American of that time - growing up on her family's tobacco farm until her mother’s death. By 1950, Henrietta had married her first cousin, David “Day” Lacks, birthed five children, and relocated to the Baltimore, Maryland area. In January of 1951, Henrietta went to the “colored” ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital complaining of a “knot” in her lower abdomen. It was found that the knot feeling was due a dangerous and growing tumor in her cervix. After a formal diagnosis of cervical cancer, samples of Henrietta’s cervix were removed unbeknownst to her. The biopsy samples were given to Dr. George Gey, a tissue culture specialist. He was working on creating an immortal cell line to be used for human medical research. He discovered that Henrietta’s cells, later known as “HeLa” cells, were very unique because they grew exponentially faster than standard cell lines and never died. Henrietta Lacks died at the early age of thirty-one due to the her metastasized cancer. Interestingly, her death was just the beginning of her legacy. Knowing the true value and potential of the cells, Dr. Gey provided the...

...First Paper The traditional retail model has focused on finding high-margin, high-volume products or services because limited space means reduced space inventory. For example, organizations such as Walmart select the biggest hits from the broadest genres, called the “short head.” The short head means Walmart will only carry a select mix of country, pop, and rock that is calculated to provide the greatest cost/benefit. The business model of Amazon is different. Amazon provides the short head but also provides the “long tail” of more than 100,000 different audio selections. The competition for customers between the Walmart and Amazon marketplace is profoundly changing the face of retail business today. Using the assigned reading and the Argosy University online library resources, find at least three scholarly articles that address similar current trends related to e-business and how e-business is changing the face of businesses today. Using your company or a real-world example from your research, respond to the following: * Describe how technology is changing the face of businesses today. * Describe the most critical business processes that utilize information systems in your selected company. * Explain how IT makes the company’s business processes faster, cheaper, more accurate, and customer-savvy than that of competitors. * Cite at least three sources found in your online library research. Give reasons and examples from your research to support your responses...
