...The act of juggling was used for entertainment and began several years ago. For beginners, this enactment is considered to be complex. In fact, when I attempted to juggle years ago, it was a complete disaster due to inexperience I had. However, with the principles I learned in my motor learning class, it turned out to be a success. The first principle I used to learn this skill was skill transfer. There are basic motor skills associated with juggling such as tossing and catching. I found many similarities within tossing a regular ball in the air and with tossing a ball in the air with control that can be used for juggling. I used the different strategies that I already knew to implement them into juggling. Another principle that has helped me the most with this assignment was part practice. I isolated the skill into separate parts by integrating those separated parts into the whole skill. I also used several discrete skills found within juggling to link them together in the end of the process. For instance, at first I had to get acquainted with catching the ball in the air then catching it immediately because this seemed to be the hardest part for me. I had my cousin help me with this by throwing and catching the tennis ball with me. We slowly transitioned into the act of...

...Everyday life can be boring and drab but every once in awhile someone will come along and share their talents with others for their amusement. In “Juggler”, Richard Wilbur’s imagery, syntax, and tone conveys the speaker’s amazement towards the juggler. This reveals the speaker’s appreciation of others. The authors use of imagery displays the speakers encapsulated feeling of the moment. Throughout the play there are many descriptions of loud cheers and faultless motions. “Wheel on his wheeling hands… grazing his finger ends.” This conveys the ease and fluidness of the jugglers actions. This ease astounds the speaker who states, “It takes a sky-blue juggler with five red balls to shake our gravity up.” This portrays how appreciative the speaker...

...Adam 15 September 2014 The Price of College is on the Rise On the morning of Wednesday March 6th, 2013 I hurriedly got ready for the ACT after slightly sleeping in. The panic from sleeping in on top of all the stress and worry for my future made me on edge for the most important day thus far in my young adult life. All of my hard work for the past 3 years was rest assured on the next 4 hours, I had to get a high score on the test there is no other way. Rick Perlstein, the author of “What’s the Matter with College” argues the negative changes in college since the 1960s. He disputes that the college experience is not as radical and political as previously. He claims that students are overly concerned with money, which amplifies the fact of students being overscheduled to the point they don’t explore who they are. Indeed, young adults are too connected to their parents through technology and evolving social media to explore anything new. In other words I agree with Perlstein that college is now less of an experience, I believe this is caused by the sky rocketing cost of attendance and the focus on the economy/debt. With the enormous rise of college tuition students have been fighting the inevitable reality of debt. The College Board articulates that the average tuition at a four-year college has increased by 27 percent beyond the rate of inflation over the five years from the 2008-09 academic year to 2013-14. Even after raising cost for inflation the average cost has tripled...

...developing marketing principles. Our goal was to develop an inventory of marketing principles and to see how this inventory changed over time. But in trying to develop this inventory, we were confronted by the second question, that is, the communication of knowledge. Thus, we sought to develop an inventory of the principles that are actually being communicated. As a working definition, we defined principles as normative statements that specify a condition followed by a suggested action. That is, marketing principles should provide operational guidelines, telling managers how to act in a given type of situation. An example of a principle is that the illustration in a print ad should be placed above the copy. Principles should help marketing managers to make better decisions because they incorporate marketing knowledge derived through previous research and experience. A well-developed set of principles can act as a basis for an expert system. For example, Burke et al. (1990) developed an expert system in advertising based heavily upon the principles presented in the advertising textbook by Rossiter and Percy (1987). Well-supported principles of marketing should be of interest to marketing practitioners. Those who make marketing decisions might like to know what principles can help them make better decisions. Such principles, for example, might show the conditions under which an increase in prices would improve profitability. In many disciplines, basic principles seem to be transmitted...

...position of coxswain for the freshmen eight, and along with it the task of controlling eight unruly freshmen boys and keeping a $30,000 racing shell from being damaged. My sophomore year I earned the coxswain position on my team’s top boat the Men’s Junior 8+. On that boat we went undefeated all season and brought the team their second national title. Junior year I once again earned the spot of coxswain on the top boat, which this time was the Med’s 1st Varsity 8. The job as a coxswain is fairly simple. My job is to act as a second coach, I am in charge of the boys who comprise my crew and it is my job to make sure they do their job to the best of their ability. At the same time every day at practice it is demanded of me that I behave in a mature and responsible manner. My experience on my rowing team has been truly defining, I learned things about myself I would have never known had I not joined the team. As a coxswain I have to behave as if I were a coach I must act maturely and responsibly. My ability to do so has earned me respect and the honor of commanding the fastest boats my team can field. Even through the worst of times in my life I have always had rowing as an escape. At crew I am stress free and without outside burdens, I am free to be myself. I am certain that had I not joined the rowing team my freshmen year I would have been a different person. I would not have made the friends I did I would not have gained the confidence I have. And the feeling of belonging and...

...disciplined. A soldier is supposed to act and conduct himself according to the military guidelines at all times. There is a law for everything a soldier does, from how he should walk to how he should talk. A soldier is suppose to walk erect, hands at his side, hands cuffed at the middle joints, the arms should swing nine inches to the front and six inches to the rear. A soldier has to address the person he is speaking to in the correct manner. He will acknowledge an officer as sir or ma’am, and an enlisted by his/her proper rank. There is a regulation governing how much a soldier can weigh at a certain height. If he weighs too much, then he must be taped. Being taped means to see how much body-fat a person has. If he has too much fat, then he will be placed on the overweight program. The program offers the soldier a certain amount of time to try and lose the amount of excess fat. If he is not able to lose it, then he could be kicked out of the military. There is also a regulation on how a soldier must wear his uniform. The Dress Blues are to have a worn look to it. The boots are to be brush shined. There are different types of uniforms. There is a physical fitness uniform, dress blue uniform, army combat uniform, and many others. The uniforms are not to be worn together. A soldier cannot wear a physical fitness shirt with his dress blue pants. There is a certain guideline that every soldier must follow so we all look, talk, and act as...

...approximately 13 minutes per day using our computer. This relates to 3 days per year totally waiting. How relevant in our lives is this? Do we wait longer than that in the line of Wal-Mart buying groceries? Should we then have a label of line syndrome. There are so many labels out there all ready, should we create another. If so we could have hold music syndrome, and phone automation syndrome, and the press 1 for English syndrome. Labels do not do Americans any good. Most Americans seem to equate the word syndrome with a reason to act out. Television most recently expresses this with a commercial by GameFly. This is a company that rents video games similar to the company NetFlix. The commercial shows teenagers and adults acting crazy and throwing their televisions out windows due to buying a bad video game. Society teaches us to act as spoiled brats if we don’t get our way. The word syndrome seems to help Americans with an excuse to act out in this way. Our society does not show the ability to function as true adults. Everyone seems to want to have a reason to misbehave when we do not get things exactly the way we want. This has been proven with road rage. People have now used this excuse to get a lighter sentence for running someone off the road and injuring them deliberately. They feel justified in doing this, because someone made a mistake or deliberately cut them off on the freeway. The judge and jury then justifies this...
