...Gathering Blue book report Chase Marsh 9th The book I read over the summer was Gathering Blue. The author of this book is Lois Lowry. I had never read any of her books. when I first saw the title, it did spark my interest. The genre of this book is fiction. I think the title of this book does adequately capture the message of the text because when Kira meets Annabella, she teaches Kira how to make dyes for her knitting. But Kira realizes that there is no way to create the color blue because the community does not know how to create it. I think the title of the book is interesting. Some of the parts of the book that I like was when Annabella dies because this made the book interesting and Jo must learn to persevere through...

...(1+3) The story I chose to write about today was written on 02/17/15 and is headlined, “Can Dogs Recognize Emotions Just By Looking at a Human Face.” It refers to the study, “Dogs Can Discriminate Emotional Expressions of Human Faces” from the Current Biology Journal. The authors of the study are Corsin A Muller, Kira Schmitt, Anjuli L.A. Barber and Ludwig Huber. I noticed this article two weeks ago when I was browsing through Psychology Today. This article stood out to me because had learned about facial recognition in class that day, and this article deals directly with facial recognition, but by animals, which is more interesting because it’s no longer species-specific. I normally trust this news source because it is recognized, respected and trusted by the general body. (2) The story presents the findings in a calm manner, but still represents the findings as relatively novel. The findings are reasonably believable; the author put it nicely by saying, “The most interesting finding comes after the dogs had proved that they could distinguish happy versus angry seeing only the upper or lower half of the face. When they were next shown either the other half of the face used in the training stage, or the other halves of people's faces not used in training, the dogs could still discriminate between the happy and angry expressions.” What came as a surprise to me was the fact that the dogs could distinguish a human’s emotional expression just by seeing the upper or lower half of...

...Autism Autism is the most common condition in a list of developmental disorders known as the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). People with autism may display impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonberbal communication, and unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities and interests ("What is autism," 2011). As of today there is no official cure for autism but through education and training of parents most can have some sort of productive life. The word “autism” has been used for about 100 years comes from the Greek word “autos” meaning “self” (Nickolson, 2008). The term describes conditions in which a person is removed from social interaction or other words an “isolated self”. In 1911, Eugen Bleuler, a Swiss psychiatrist, was the first person to use the term autism. Austic children at one time thought or classified as schizophrenic as it was thought to be a behavioral issue. There are many key dates in the history of autism since 1911 and some more important than others. Here is a list of some of the important dates in the history of autism: * 1944 - Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger publishes his work on autistic symptoms, Autistic Psychopathy in Childhood. * 1964 - American psychologist Bernard Rimland writes in Infantile Autism: The Syndrom and Its Implications For a Neural Theory of Behavior that autism is a biological disorder. * 1967 - Bernard Rimland founds the Autism Research Institute ARI in San Diego.

...A Breach of Professional Accounting Ethics Kira Welcome Professor Dr. Jacob Angima Financial Accounting ACC 557 October 30, 2012 A Breach of Professional Accounting Ethics Based on the corporate ethical breaches in recent times I believe that the current businesses and regulatory environment is more conducive to ethical behavior due to the workplace. In the workplace ethics develops an atmosphere of respect and tolerance for everyone, by striving to conduct business in a manner that is beneficial to owners, employees and customers. It is very important to have trust and honesty between management, the employees, its co-workers, and between the business and its customers. When ethical lapses of trust becomes rampant, employee productivity declines, loyalty follows, and soon major breaches such as employee theft begin to appear (Calle, 2009). It is said that “Ethical integrity involves reporting others acting in dangerous or illegal way. The term whistleblowers are people who choose to expose wrongdoings, usually at the expense of their careers (Capozzi, 2008).” Ronald Jeurissen, author of “Ethics and Business,” says that whistle-blowing has moral considerations. For instance, the person should be sure the negative consequences to the company of such exposure do not outweigh the benefit to the public. When professional accounting ethics are breached accountants may expect to lose their job, or may even end up spending time in jail depending on the crime. As part of the...

...10/13/06 American History Essence Harden 5/2/00 African-American Civil Rights “Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.” –Coretta Scott King, page666 The 1960’s were a time of great turmoil in America and throughout the world. One of the main topics that arouse was black civil rights. In my essay I plan to compare the difference of opinion between these particular writers and directors, towards racism and the civil rights movement in the 1960’s The movement truly got underway with civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King jr. and Malcolm X in the early 1960’s. Students who wanted to bolt on the equality and protest bandwagon quickly followed. Most of the students went to the Southern states (Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, etc.), to stop the racism and hate crimes. The truth of the matter is that the violence and abhorrence would get worse before it got better. The Klan became stronger and more violent, committing many more lynching and gruesome murders. Bit by bit most of the Caucasian Americans came around to the idea of integration, and did not believe that the African Americans as a ‘threat’ anymore. The only reason that this great monumental change occurred was because of the great leadership of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King jr., and not to mention the thousands of other less famous civil rights leaders, that worked to change the views of their community. There also where lobbyist and protesters...

Pendahuluan Hak Asasi Manusia merupakan hak dasar yang secara kodrati melekat pada diri manusia,bersifat universal yang harus dilindungi, dihormati, dipertahankan, dan tidak boleh diabaikan, dikurangi, atau dirampas oleh siapapun. Puncak perjuangan HAM adalah saat perang dunia II dimana Nazi melakukan kejahatan HAM besar-besaran berupa diskriminasi dan genosida. Setelah perang berakhir, PBB didirikan sebagai simbol bahwa perdamaian dunia merupakan tujuan bersama. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights dideklarasikan pada sidang umum Majelis Umum PBB pada tanggal 10 Desember 1948 yang mendorong tegaknya HAM di dunia. Sayangnya, pada abad 21 ini kejahatan HAM seperti itu masih melanda Republik Demokratik Rakyat Korea Utara.Maka dari itu, dibutuhkan peran PBB dalam menjamin bahwa setiap manusia mendapatkan hak asasi yang dimilikinya, maka studi kasus ini akan menganalisis mengenai “Bagaimana keterlibatan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB) berdasarkan International Human Rights Law (IHRL) dalam menanggapi kasus pelanggaran HAM yang terjadi di Korea Utara sejak tahun 1994-2015...

General Overview This course is about how we understand International Relations (IR) and what major international actors operate in a number of contemporary policy areas. As it serves as an introduction to the discipline of IR, it starts with some of the basic concepts in it: e.g. war and peace; the role of the state, etc. This is complemented by introducing the role of International (governmental) Organizations (IOs) such as the UN, WTO, NATO, the EU, OSCE, CoE; and International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs), such as Amnesty International; Greenpeace; Medicins Sans Frontieres; etc. The course also introduces the role of the individual and self-organized groups of individuals that claim actorness in IR (advocacy groups; epistemic communities, policy networks; guerrillas; pirates; terrorist groups, etc.). In covering these issues, students are acquainted with some of the main theoretical debates in IR (e.g. Neo-Realism; Neo-Liberal Institutionalism; Social Constructivism; etc.). The lectures provide the general framework for discussing the role of the abovementioned...

Retrieved March 24, 2016, from http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/hbem20#.VvS04RasIlI Introduction- In the critical analysis “Kissing in the Carnage: An Examination of Framing on Twitter During the Vancouver Riots” by Lauren M. Burch, Evan L. Frederick & Ann Pegoraro; it was certain that the biggest hockey game of the National Hockey League season had been occurring, but the riot it has spawned in Vancouver makes it look like something far more politically charged may be the cause. In the introduction of the text it states “On June 15, 2011, more than 150,000 fans assembled on the streets of Vancouver to watch game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins. Within minutes of the Canucks loss, a riot began. One aspect that made this event unique was that it was documented on Twitter” this would clearly indicate that there was a relationship between the fans knowledge of the current affair which was the hockey game and the Literary review-RQ- 1. Is there a relationship between social media use and KNOWLEDGE of current affairs? 2. What is the relationship between social media use and knowledge of stand your ground law? 3.
