...There are many considerations one must remember given the different roles and people in the audience. You will have to take into consideration their needs and what information should be shared. You would not want to share information that has not been confirmed. The families of the miners will need reassurance. They need a caring individual as well as someone who is determined to help those who are stuck in the mine. The miners’ families are going to need reassurance that everything thing will work out but they also need reliable information. Many will end up relying on news stations for information if they are not kept in contact with someone at the scene, this will cause confusion and possibly more stress and panic among the families. When talking to fellow workers you want to be a friend but also be seen as someone who is handling the situation. The workers will want to feel that you care about them and what happened when the mine collapsed. They also want to feel that you are going to take care of their families and any issues that might arise. The workers will also want to feel that you will do anything in your power to get the rest of the miners out in the safest way possible The action you should take before and after delivering the message to each audience is simple. Before delivering the message it is important to make it clear who your audience is. Each audience has different needs so making sure you meet those needs is important. After delivering your message...

...Essay #3 Animal testing is a very controversial topic to discuss. The research of animals is defined as the use of chemicals to test on different parts of the animal’s body. Products such as mascara are applied to an animal’s eye, or lipstick is applied to an animal’s lips to see any reaction it may impose on a human. The results based on the animal experimentation will let the scientists know if the chemical or product is safe to use for all ages of people. “Scientists are closer than ever to finding the cures for AIDS, cancer and other deadly illnesses. But more research and testing are needed and much of it must be done on animals.” (Epstein and Brook 604) There are many aspects to animal testing that are for the better, but there also is a bad side to this topic. Animal testing has become a big issue of debate. Some people agree with it, and some disagree. No matter what anyone thinks about the issue, the fact remains that most animal testing is done for a reason and has its benefits and drawbacks. Animal testing was first discovered by Charles Darwin to better study human beings. Since then, animals have been subjected to every test science has to offer. One of the most pointless and cruel tests done on animals, in my opinion, is testing cosmetics. Everything from perfume to soap is tested on the animal to see if it will be harmful in any way to humans. This test is done by pouring some kind of chemical or substance onto the animal's skin to see if it irritates it...

...Animal Testing Many the big issues, for many years, has been about animal testing. The argument of is animal testing good or bad has been a bother for numerous amounts of people. Many people believe that animal testing is terrible because sometimes it causes animals to suffer and even die. Most scientist say animal testing is used to help the nation. They test different products to see if it's safe for humans to use. Many forget the benefits from animal testing and how much good it has done to humankind. A few ways animal testing has benefited mankind is by testing medications, substances that may affect people, and other product such as beauty products. Scientist have been able to Discover many cures for diseases because of animal testing. Because of, millions of people have been able to live a long life. Scientists also test medications on animals to see if there are safe for humans to use. Animals have saved millions because of their uses for medical and scientific research. Each time a person takes a medication or is given anything for medical usage, animals have contributed to that. Dangerous chemicals testing has also helped mankind. The purpose of animal testing is to see if any chemicals or substances are a danger to the people. Scientists have learned so much about what helps humans and what harms them. We are still, to this day, discovering what is safe for the people in the world. Animals get to be a part of helping humanity grow. Everyone wants to look...

...Testing to Save a Life Genomic testing is a way of studying an individual's genes for complications that could lead to health problems like diseases or cancers. Tests became more popular in the 1990’s when they were available directly to the customer rather than from a health professional (Goldsmith). Testing is used for more than just screening for potential complications. They can also be used to help determine why pre diagnosed diseases occurred and determine the best treatment option to pursue. The testing can help individuals become educated about their own body while determining solutions to health issues. Genomic testing has very few physical health risks. The main struggles people face are financial, emotional, or social stress....

...by the way its animals are treated." Famous quote said by Gandhi. Animal testing refers to the experimentation on certain animals such as rabbits, cats, dogs, mice, rats, etc. Animal testing is used to see how safe and effective the products of the company is making. Debates on animal testing have been happening since the beginning of the seventeenth century. Animals have been tested on since 384-322 BC and between 304-258 BC by Greek physician scientist Aristotle and Erasistratus. I believe that animal testing should be banned because it harms animals. There are more effective ways to test products, and it is bad science. According to "The Food and Drug Administration" they report that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal test fail in humans. To begin with, animal testing/abuse should be banned in the United States because it harms animals. According to "Cruelty-Free Cosmetics 101" written by...

...A Position Against Standardized Testing I am a mother of two elementary school age kids, Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) board member, and actively involved in my children’s education. I have often asked why there is so much emphasis on standardized tests. Growing up, we took standardized tests but there was no real preparation work or stress over the test. We didn’t even know until the week prior that we had testing coming up. Back then teachers taught and engaged their students in learning all subjects because they loved teaching. We learned not only what was minimally acceptable to pass a standardized test, but much more beyond the testing requirements. I am very interested about high stake standardized testing in our public school system because it seems my children’s curriculum is solely based on concepts they need to learn to pass their standardized test. Rather than teaching to our children who are eager to learn how to be higher-level thinkers, we seem to be teaching them to accept a minimal standard and simply learn how to pass a test. Today, I see our children being given pretests and benchmark tests to see how well they will do on the standardized test. I witness teachers under pressure to make sure they get the curriculum in prior to the test and students being drilled repeatedly for the standardized tests. Our children come home stressed and concerned because in some states, these tests can determine if you are from moving to the next grade level,...

...Animal Testing Over 70 million animals die each year from animal testing. Although many animals have died during the course of animal testing, many things have been improved or have benefitted from animal testing including medicine. Animal testing also affects everyone in more than one way. Animals are not just used for testing in the United States; they are used all over the world for animal testing. Animal testing is a social justice issue that has improved medical research, but has resulted in the killing of many animals. Animal testing is the testing of cosmetic products, cleaning products, agricultural research, dog and cat food trials, weapons tests, aerospace studies, and car crash simulations (PETA). One might feel animal testing is cruel, but almost the whole world has benefitted from vaccines. It has also led to the treatment of some diseases. Animal testing can sometimes end with mixed outcomes. Many people have died because drugs or treatments that have successfully passed tests conducted on animals have failed on humans. Many alternatives to animal testing exist. Some alternatives include using computer models and using tissue cultures in research. During some of the experiments, some animals are given medicine so the animals do not feel pain or distress. However, thousands are not. The experiments preformed can be painful, damaging, and deadly to the animals used (B 5-9). Animal testing is an issue all around the world. In Great Britain, more than 2.5 million...

...Amber Jacobson M. Cook 16 November 2012 English 1301.30 E4, Persuasion Voices Not Heard Seeing the face of a helpless animal can break your heart. Many animals go through torturous testing on a day to day basis that they cannot help, nor can they defend themselves. Since Ancient Greek times, animals have been undergoing cruel and inhumane medical testing that should not be done for the benefits of the human race. Animal testing is wrong because it is cruel, costly, harmful to animals, unreliable, and outdated. Animal testing has been around since the times of the Ancient Greeks. Between seventeen million and twenty-two million animals are used for biomedical research each year (Leepson). Many believe that animals do have rights, and there are many organizations out there to trying to ensure their safety and help them get out of the horrible treatments they endure. For example, the ASPCA, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has been around since 1866 trying to curb the gruesome treatment of humans to animals. The ASPCA tries to prevent the abuse and neglecting of animals around the nation. They set up shelters for animals and they give vaccines and anything else they may need. The different types of animals being tested are endless; from mice to sheep, they all serve their own purpose in the medical field. Even though these animals have helped scientist break through some medical mysteries, it is still inhumane how they have to suffer in...

...Article Analysis Paper PSY 450 November 4, 2013 Intelligence Article Analysis Paper Intelligence Testing and Theories Intelligence measuring is important for individuals for various reasons. Testing intelligence throughout the years has changed. People change and not the same factors can determine one’s intelligence. The majority of individuals who take intelligence testing are for placement, such as children starting school, college, and employment. Children for example, take testing, and evaluations to see what cognitive development level the child is at and to see if that child meets the basic standard for that age group (Benson, 2003). Intelligence testing determines the level for college students, and adults, such as entering college, and employee candidates for job placement. Today in society there are several testing options for intelligence, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), Standford-Binet Intelligence Scale, and College Admission Test (SAT), (Benson, 2003). The American Psychological Association uses the intelligent intelligence approach for testing, as other professionals do. The intelligence testing determines effectiveness, and analyzes theories in this paper. Intelligence Testing Theories Intelligence testing is determined through a series of tests and evaluations. The evaluations are administered first to determine what type of testing is acquired. College student entering college must take a SAT test first before entering college to determine...

...I remember when it was my first testing. That morning I practiced for hours. Till it was time to test. I was testing for my first-degree black belt. That day I went to morning classes to reassure myself I was ready. Before you test for a black belt when you are a recommended black belt. You have to go through the critiquing of movement you do and forms you have to master and learn to pass you midterm. I passed my first midterm. A month later was black belt testing. And the nerves were back. When I get nervous I forget a lot of things. So I just thought to myself I can do it. My main instructor was gone for a fighting match. He won the title. But it didn't stop me from being motivated from getting my black belt. When you test for a black...

...being used for testing without having a say; for everyone this seems like a horrible nightmare but for animals this nightmare is reality. Animals should not be used for testing. They don’t have a voice so they have no way of saying no and testing on animals is wrong in every way possible. This is unfair to the animals because they don’t have a choice. Although animal testing is wrong, it is a good way to make sure the product research is safe before retailing it and letting people use it. Animal testing should not be used because animals have no way of saying no and it is wrong is every way. Animal testing is wrong because animals can’t say no. What if you weren’t able to say no about being tested on? That’s how animals feel because they have no voice. For example, animals are being taken advantage of. Animals can’t talk so the decision on whether or not to be tested on is already made for them. Animals don’t even get to decide things that are being done to them. As said in an article, “Animals are routinely cut open, poisoned and put into cages for weeks, month, or even year” (Ocean Lu Blog). Animals don’t deserve to have all of these things done to them. Animals also have no say in what gets done to them. Sometimes animals get things that don’t belong in their bodies put into them just to see how they react. They don’t have a say in whether or not they can have these things put into them. As said in an article, “Some animals are even given diseases to see whether a new drug...

...research to help evaluate the effectiveness of new medicines and industry products on human. These industry products can range from beauty products and medicinal drugs to household cleaners (Humane Society International, 2013, para. 1). Collins (2011) gathered statistics from various sources like the U.S. Department of Agriculture and noted, “ yearly, U.S. accounted for more than 100 million animals that are killed due to researches” (para. 1). Noting that this statistic only applies to the U.S. makes it very alarming, as there are animal testing going on everywhere in the world. Although we are not able to understand animals as well as we do humans, it does not mean that they should not be given equal rights. Animal experimentation should be made illegal globally as every life should be seen as important as another. There are several reasons why animal experimentation should be stopped. Numerous alternatives are made available for product testing and experimenting, however there does not seem to be a way to stop animal experimentation for good. Animal and humans may seem similar in many ways, both having the same organ system and similar ways of executing task. However just like no two humans are the same, animal's response to a drug can be different to a human's. For example a drug know as “Penicillin, a well-tolerated medicine, used today by doctors against infections for patients. This drug if consumed by guinea pigs and hamster can cause their lives” (Croce, 2011...

...Testing is performing all of the following: • Providing software with inputs (a “workload”) • Executing a piece of software • Monitoring software state and/or outputs for expected properties, such as: – Conformance to requirements – Preservation of invariants (e.g., never applies brakes and throttle together) – Match to expected output values – Lack of “surprises” such as system crashes or unspecified behaviours General idea is attempting to find “bugs” by executing a program. Testing terminology Workload: • “Inputs applied to software under test” • Each test is performed with a specific workload Behaviour: • “Observed outputs of software under test” • Sometimes special outputs are added to improve observability of software (e.g., “test points” added to see internal states) Oracle: • “A model that perfectly predicts correct behaviour” • Matching behaviour with oracle output tells if test passed or failed • Oracles come in many forms: – Human observer – Different version of same program – Hand-created script of predicted values based on workload – List of invariants that should hold true over behaviour What is a bug? A “bug” can be one or more of the following: • Failure to provide required behaviour • Providing an incorrect behaviour • Providing an undocumented behaviour or behaviour that is not required • Failure to conform to a design constraint (e.g., timing, safety invariant) • Omission or defect in requirements/specification • Instance...

SQA tools are the specially developed software tools for the purpose of assisting in the QA processes. 1.1 Software Quality The quality of software is assessed by a number of variables. These variables can be divided into external and internal quality criteria. External quality is what the user experiences when running the software in its operational mode. Internal quality refers to the aspects that are code-dependent, and are not visible to the end-user. External quality is critical to the user, while internal quality is meaningful to the developer only. When the quality comes to software quality conformance, requirement consider as software functional quality and fitness for use named as software structural quality. 1.2 Software Quality Assurance Software quality assurance (SQA) consists of a means of monitoring the software engineering process and methods used to ensure quality...
