...fictional counterparts during that time with the mechanical contraptions and technological appliances in which they had access. Though radio frequency identification was not one of the elaborate gadgets used in the cartoon, Hanna Barbara most likely never dreamed of how such a device could advance and impact businesses in 2013. Radio frequency identification (RFID) has the capability to identify an item, gather information about the item and transpose that information into a computer system all without human assistance. RFID technology is centered around the concept of using radio waves to identify selected objects. RFID technology can be utilized in the business and manufacturing arena in more ways than one can truly imagine. In this essay I will discuss the general concept of how RFID works, the current uses of the technology, and potential uses of RFID in the future. A radio frequency identification system consists of three components. The system has a scanning antenna, a transceiver with a decoder to interpret the data, and a transponder, which is the RFID tag. An RFID system will not operate without having some form of each of these components. The scanning antenna enables the system to communicate with the transponder (the RFID tag) while it also provides the RFID tag with sufficient energy to communicate. This step of the process is accomplished by the antenna constantly emitting radio frequency signals. The antenna is basically searching for an RFID tag by recognizing...

...this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are...

She has 30 fifth-graders of whom 13 are girls and 17 are boys, 12 participate in the free and reduced lunch program, 5 are English language learners, and 4 have individualized education programs (IEPs). As she plans her lesson on paragraph writing, she is trying to keep the special needs of each of her students in mind. Because Jessica has a hearing impairment, Ms. Branson decides to make a written outline that includes the important parts of a paragraph and examples of good and bad paragraphs. She also decides to go over the outline several times because Fred and Alex have a reading disability. In her plan, there is also a note to herself to find a bigger pencil and wide-lined paper for Suzy, who requires these modifications according to her IEP. Based on past writing experiences, she expects Monica to finish writing her paragraph...
