...FOOD COOKING TERMS Al dente – This Italian expression meaning “by the tooth” describes pasta cooked a shorter time so that it has just slight resistance when chewed. Fresh pasta is too soft already to be cooked al dente. The term also describes cooking vegetables until crisp by steaming, boiling, or stir-frying. Bake – To cook in the oven. While roasting is often used as a synonym for baking, the terms are actually different. Roasting describes cooking food at a higher temperature to brown the surface of the food quickly. Baste– To moisten food during cooking with pan drippings, sauce, or other liquid, often with the help of a baster. Basting prevents foods from drying out. Blanch – To submerge foods in boiling water for just a few seconds, remove from the water, and refresh under cold water to stop the cooking process. Blanching is a gentle form of cooking used to loosen skins, firm flesh, and heighten color and flavor. Boil – To heat water until bubbling vigorously and also to cook food in water that is bubbling vigorously. Most often, foods should be poached instead of boiled, because boiling tends to dry out and break down food too much. See definition below for poaching. Braise – To cook in a small amount of liquid (also called stewing or pot roasting), rather than being submerged in liquid, as in boiling/poaching. Braising usually concentrates the food’s flavor in the surrounding liquid for the purpose of making a sauce or coating. Broil – To cook close to a direct...

...Social MediaBased on the findings of this survey, the two research questions highlighted earlier are answered. Most of the students are engage in the use of SNSs mainly for socializing activities rather than for academic purpose. However, most of the respondents do feel tha the SNSs have more positive impact on their academic performance. This is due to the fact that the SNSs can be used for various academic activities such as communicating with the faculty and university authority, communicating with lecturers and supervisors,making academic discussions with classmates and chatting with friends in respect to topics of educational interest. While the negative impacts of the the SNSs towards their academic performance are considerably low. Therefore, based on the positive preliminary findings of this study, the universities and other institutions of higher learning could take the advantage of the popularity andpositive impacts of the SNSs use to formally incorporate the use of SNSs in the teachingand learning processes. Government regulatory agencies which are responsible tomonitor internet activities such as the Malaysian Communication and MultimediaCommission (MCMC) in Malaysia and Ministry of Higher Education could also benefitfrom findings from this kind of study to outline or improve any existing guidelines oninternet usage in general or particularly focusing on SNSs use for students. Theseguidelines would not only be useful for students but also parents and guardians inassisting...

...Computation Center. So the MIT had many registered users and most of them used the CTSS service. Then they wanted to share information to each other in new ways. So they had this “common file” place in the disk. What they would do is they would create files that they named like TO TOM or to whoever… and put them in those common file place. Then the person who will receive the message could log into the CTSS and search for that file. 1971: Ray Tomlinson (he invented the email, not because someone asked him to. He just thought that it would be a really cool idea.) sends the first electronic mail. Not through internet, cuz it wasn’t invented it… it was through a network called the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). It said “QWERTYUIOP.” He worked for a company called (forgot… BBM or something…) which was hired by the United States Defense Department to create the internet in 1968. 1976: Queen Elizabeth II becomes the first head of a state to send an email!! She was demonstrating networking technology and she sent the email from the Royal Signs and Radar Establishment (RSRE). 1983: MCI Mail is the first commercial email service (through a server), and it is introduced to the public!! It was a service that allowed people to sent electronic text-based messages to other people with MCI Mail. Later on it allowed people to send messages to users of other services like AT&T Mail. It had 1 million users btw 1988: Microsoft releases Microsoft Mail! Strangely though, it...

...The History of Information and Communication Technology Information and Communication Technology has been around for a long time. It has basically been around as long as people have been around. It has been around as there were always ways and needs of communicating through technology available at that point in time. ITC originates from simple beginnings such as the abacus. The abacus is said to have been originally invented 3,000 years before the birth of Christ. Revisions to its use and design continued for many years for example in 500 BC a bead and wire version was developed in Egypt. Early versions of the calculator were gradually replacing this primitive method of mathematics. In 1624 Wilhelm Schickard built the first four-function calculator-clock at the University of Heidelberg. Mechanical versions of the calculator were then developed, however calculators as we know them did not exist until 1780, when Benjamin Franklin discovered through experimentation electricity. The abacus is just one example of how ICT has developed throughout the years, below is a development timeline on how it has grown and improved in the most recent years. Development Timeline: 1939 Hewlett Packard was founded. Hewlett Packard was founded by David Packard and Bill Hewlett in a Palo Alto, California Garage. The first product was the HP 200A Audio Oscillator, which rapidly became a popular piece of test equipment for engineers. 1943 Project Whirlwind began. During World...

...Mental Rotation: The Effect of Orientation towards the Reaction Time in Determining the Version of Letter UNIMKL- 012480 University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus Abstract This study is the replication of Cooper and Shepard’s (1973) study on mental rotation. This experiment is mainly designed to investigate a) the relationship between the angles of rotation of the alphabetical characters and the reaction time to determine whether the letter presented is normal or reversed position and b) whether the mean of the correlation coefficient is significantly greater than zero. A group of fifty- five first year undergraduate students who are studying Psychology course were recruited in the within- subjects experiment. In this experiment, the participants were showed the alphabetical characters (capital letter G and R) in both normal and reversed position in which oriented at different angles of rotation, the participants were required to determine whether the letter presented was in normal or reversed version as accurate and quickly as they can. The results obtains showed that the reaction time increases as the angle of rotation larger and the mean of the correlation coefficient was significantly greater than zero. Thus, this study suggesting that the orientation does affect the reaction time and correlate each other. Keywords: mental rotation, mental imagery, orientation, correlation coefficient, alphabetical characters, normal, reversed The Effect of Orientation towards the...

As I pull into the driveway I realized no one was at home. I looked at my phone and noticed my wife left me an e-mail letting me know that she and the kids would be delayed. I open the door and Jack, my golden retriever, is nearly doing cartwheels his way of asking me to take him outside. I take him out to do his business as I head for the mailbox. Undoubtedly there will be the usual bills and solicitations. As I open the box there was only one item – a letter. I think to myself that no one writes letters anymore. As I look at the sender’s address, it was from my grandmother. I began to wonder, what would my grandmother think about email today? Today the norm is to communicate via electronic mail or as it is more commonly known – email. There are several other forms of electronic communication but none have changed the game as much as has email. Email is the precursor to all our technological communication modalities such as texting and instant messaging. This mode of communication...
