...This is it In the traditional color wheel used by painters, violet and purple are both placed between red and blue. Purple occupies the space closer to red, between crimson and violet.[3] Violet is closer to blue, and is usually less intense and bright than purple. While the two colors do look similar, from the point of view of optics there are important differences. Violet is a spectral, or real color – it occupies its own place at the end of the spectrum of light, and it has its own wavelength (approximately 380–420 nm). It was one of the colors of the spectrum first identified by Isaac Newton in 1672, whereas purple is simply a combination of two colors, red and blue. There is no such thing as the "wavelength of purple light"; it only exists as a combination.[12] [13] Pure violet cannot be accurately reproduced by the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color system, the method used to create colors on a television screen or computer display. It is approximated by mixing blue light at high intensity with less intense red light on a black screen. The resulting color has the same hue but a lower saturation than pure violet. One curious psychophysical difference between purple and violet is their appearance with an increase in luminance (apparent brightness). Violet, as it brightens, looks more and more blue. The same effect does not happen with purple. This is the result of what is known as the Bezold–Brücke shift. While the scientific definitions of violet and purple are clear, the cultural...

...Individual Learning Preferences 1) Describe your strongest dimension on the personality spectrum. According to the personality spectrum, I am cataloged as an organizer and also a thinker, which describes me pretty much in my practical and controlled panning manners. I tend to be organized in my studies and very dependable. Everything I do is systematic, meaning one step at a time in an organized manner. My only negative aspect is that I can become predictable sometimes in my activities but conservative none the less. I am also very detailed on my life and also very disciplined when it comes to serious matters such as economic situations. Organizing is fundamental for all my actions and I can’t really think of another way of doing things. 2) Describe how each practice activity reinforced or contradicted something about yourself The first practice revealed to me something that I didn’t really consider, that I can type and express more confidently with my right hand then my left hand; so that puts a different perspective regarding learning what is really my style and knowing my competencies. This reinforced my learning and expressing methods but declared me as predictable since I’m better “with my right hand than my left”. The second activity guided me to select the correct response to the activity on question. Selecting which input I considered to be correct for the assignment. The third activity describes a situation which we must point what is “Kristen’s” learning...

...A Look at the Social Conflicts with Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder By: Satonya Serrano Final Paper 4.17.11 Social skills are a constant challenge for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I chose this subject because at the daycare facility that I work my assistant teacher’s nephew has Autism. She is constantly at her sister’s helping her with her son and she comes to work telling me things about David. Before doing any research I was unaware of what it exactly meant to be Autistic. Although I only researched one challenge that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder face, I now feel I have a good understanding of that challenge, and can empathize with this individuals and can only hope that more research goes into this field and can further help and assist individuals with this disorder. I now can understand a little more of what my assistant tells me about David and can appreciate her stories more. For my research I read three articles. The first article was called,” Strategies for Increasing Positive Social Interactions in Children with Autism: A Case Study” by Evonn Welton, Shernavaz VaKil and Carolyn Carasea. The article was about a 13 year old girl named Caryn and the effects that Autism has on herself as well as any Autistic child’s social interactions. It discussed how Caryn has now overcome her challenge of social skills and how she did it. They give strategies as to what methods can help children...

...In 1944, Hans Asperger, an Austrian medical professor, paediatrician and child psychologist, published the first official definition of what is now named after his namesake, Asperger’s Syndrome. Similar descriptions fitting those of the disorder existed well before Asperger’s, such as the “Schizoid Personality of Childhood,” which was termed in 1926 by Eva Sucharewa, a Russian neurological assistant. Regardless of its name, the disorder encompasses a part of the autism spectrum, which affects such key aspects of an individual’s life, such as their social interactions, thought processes and minor physical movements. Asperger’s research, despite being conducted and documented during a time of great medical discoveries, did not become widely known...

...solve, many of which they must solve very quickly. This process improves critical-thinking skills and can teach kids the value of trying several different solutions to a problem, a skill that will benefit them for life. Additionally, children who are able to pay attention to a sequence of events in a video game are more likely to apply this skill to their real lives. Social Development Video games are often blamed for poor social skills in children. However, according to Psych Central, the opposite may be true, since video games often allow players from around the world to work together to solve problems or complete tasks. This is especially true in children with autism. Playing video games can teach children with autism or an autism spectrum disorder how to respond to visual and verbal queues, in turn improving their social responses....

... Funding of Applied Behavior Analysis 11 Executive function in individuals with sub threshold Autism traits 12 Conclusion 14 References 15 Abstract The increasing number of individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) and psychiatric disorders presents a key challenge to their assessment and treatment in mental health services. Children and young people with LD are more likely to experience mental health than the general population (Allington-Smith, 2006). There is a close relationship between autism spectrum disorder and learning disability. Epidemiological studies suggest that autism is more frequent in people with LD, nearly 40% of people with LD also have autism on the other hand, and nearly 70% of people with autism also have LD (La Mafa, 2004). The strong association between autism and LD (Bradley, 2004) also associates an increased risk of mental health problems. It is suggested that adults with LD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience symptoms of anxiety at a greater level than the general population; however, this requires more conclusive evidence in relation to the prevalence of anxiety disorders in adults with LD and autism. Autism Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. This is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning...

...Genetics, Brain Structure, and Behavior Evaluation Over the years autism has been measured a mental illness, a personality disorder, an emotional disturbance, a communication disorder, a developmental disability a mental handicap, as well as, more recently, an information processing problem (Williams, 2006). Autism carries on to be classified as a all-encompassing developmental disorder, a term which mentions children and adults who have severe enduring difficulties in social plus communication skills beyond those accounted for by general developmental delay. Increasingly children are being diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder. It is significant that teachers are aware of the features of the disorder and have an understanding of its implications for learning, as well as being able to identify the disorder in its early stages so that appropriate help may be given. Autism is a complex disorder that may not be due to a single cause. It may be that a variety of influences affect neurological development at an early stage (Humphreys and Ramm, 2003). The factors that have been implicated are outlined below. Methodical research has failed to support any more than a small role for the social environment in the development of autism. The conviction that faulty parenting or family factors are implicated has now been discredited, even though raised anxiety levels within the family can lessen children's ability to cope. It is thought that a basic cognitive deficit to do with the...

...Teresa Stringer Diaon M. Cook ENG 101 Final Exam Yes your vote does count Why Americans (or young people) be more involved in politics? Our forefathers were beaten and mistreated and fought for us to have the right to vote. We should take the time to get involved and go out exercise our right to vote. Not just Americans should go out to vote, but especially women and Blacks. Our future depends on what is going on in politics. Therefore we should be involved in America the land that we love. Our forefathers fought for us to have the right to vote. Think back to your grandfather and great grandfathers and grandmothers what they went through in order to have the right to vote. My grandmother told me that she had to take a test to be able to vote, and so did Rosa Parks. This was not fair to our people but they had to endure it. Selma to Montgomery march made history for us as a people. They were hosed down with water and dogs let loose on them. Our foreparents were proud and wanted to be treated equally and fairly. The color of someone’s skin should not dictate the way that they should be treated. The Bible teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves. We as American people should care enough about our country to get out and exercise our right to vote. We have earned the right to vote and we should utilize our rights as American citizens. If we don’t get out and vote then when things are not going right don’t complain, because you forfeited your right...

...#8, Cabugao Dayanara Rose Ticlao ARC2 9:00 am – 11:00 am CTHM 2H3 Asst. Prof. Robinson V. Laxa What is Arnis? Arnis is also known as kali, escrima, baston. It is the best known and the most systematic fighting art in the Philippines. The origin of the term ‘Kali’ is uncertain, the word ‘Eskrima’ and ‘Arnis’ are of Spanish origin “ Esgrima” which means fencing, and Arnis meaning “armour”.Consequently, practitioners of this style are referred to as Arnisadores, Eskrimadores or Kalistas. Before I took up arnis, I asked my self about the reason of taking it. Initially it was for self defense, but now it was more a philosophical reason. Arnis is really focused on techniques. So while it can benefit me physically, it’s really about self defense. At this age, 18, I really expect to have many encounters where I need to defend myself. Also the fact that I am studying in Manila, I know I really need to know some techniques for me to protect myself. It is nice to know that I would be able to protect myself and my family if needed with this simple knowledge about arnis. But I guess really the philosophical part comes not directly from knowing how to disarm and subdue an opponent, but from more of the indirect aspects. Arnis forces you to focus so course it will help you to improve...

...What is the Right Supply Chain for your product? -Marshall Fisher Summary prepared by Sunny Bhambhwani for Great Lakes Institute of Management Chennai Need for the Right Supply chain Before judging the correct supply chain for your organisation, we first need to understand what a supply chain is. A supply chain is a system of moving a product/service from supplier to customer. It involves organisations, people, technology, resources and activities. Hence, a right supply chain would be the one that not only delivers the product/service to the customer, but also helps the producer match the demand of the product/service to his supply, thereby causing no excess or shortage of inventory. In the current competitive marketplace, a producer cannot afford to lose any customer due to unavailability of the product when the customer needs it, nor can he afford to bear excess cost for inventory surplus which might be unsold for a long time. Hence, deciding the right supply chain is of prime importance in the operational functioning of the organization. Types of products To judge the right supply chain, the producer first needs to identify his product as functional or innovative. A functional product is the one that generally satisfies basic needs, has a long life cycle and has a predictable demand. Basic commodities fall under this category. Due to the stability in the demand, competition is fierce for functional products and hence, producers tend to differentiate their product from...

...parenting. It is a comparison of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Mental Retardation (MR), Language Disorder (LD), and non-clinical children. This article addressed the issues of autism, attachment security, and parenting among the clinical and non-clinical groups. The author’s attachment security research was conducted using a variety of both screening questionnaires, and several parental self-report questionnaires assessing their parenting styles, parental efficacy, experiences of daily hassles, social support and psychological problems. Through the use of these questionnaires, observations by pediatric psychologists, and a follow-up at approximately four years of age, it was demonstrated that the children with ASD were rated less securely attached than both other clinical and non-clinical groups. Also, the parents of children with ASD reported a less authoritative parenting style and felt they received less social support than the parents of non-clinical children. This paper will delve deeper into their research and consider the results as it applies to the discipline. AUTISM, ATTACHMENT AND PARENTING 3 Article Critique on Autism, Attachment and Parenting The purpose of Rutgers et al.’s research on autism, attachment, and parenting was to study young children who, having been pre-screened early, would later in their development be officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD.
