...Running Header: Unit 9 Final Project Unit 9: Final Project MT300-28 Big Ideas in Science: From Methods to Mutation Professor Atkins Submitted by Paula Ahl October 1, 2012 PART I: SCIENTIFIC METHOD Each and every day, we are faced with having to make split-second decisions, and the need to solve random problems that we encounter. To reach those decisions and work those problems out you are subconsciously using the scientific method. Apply the five steps of the Scientific Method to two situations that could occur in your everyday life. Use the scientific method in the first scenario provided below to solve the problem at hand. Please come up with a second detailed scenario on your own and follow the same steps in the scientific method to find a resolution. Scenario 1: You arrive home late at night. You walk up to the front door, unlock it, and reach in to turn on the light switch located just inside the front door. The light does not come on! Now what? 1. Name the problem or question you are trying to solve. One evening I came home late, my husband and children were out for the night, I unlocked the front door, reach in to turn the light on and it doesn’t come on. I go back to my car for the flashlight. I need to identify where the problem is generated from. Why doesn’t the light turn on when the switch is switched on? 2. What is your background research? Check the neighborhood to see if electricity is out. Check to see if breaker has flipped. ...

In a recent press conference, the Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that the flu-like illness has to keep Bulaga from playing the big game. The head coach also explained to the public that Bulaga was sent home to avoid the spread of the contagious flu-like illness to the...

...words: cow, dog, seq, rug, row, mob, box tab, bar ear, tar, dig, big, tea, now, fox. ANSWER: It is a sorting algorithm that is used to sort numbers. We sort numbers from least significant digit to most significant digit. In the following array of words, three is the maximum number of digits a word has, hence the number of passes will be three. In pass 1, sort the words alphabetically using first letter from the right. For eg, tea has “a” as the last letter, hence it comes first, similarly mob which has “b” as the last letter comes second. In this way the remaining words are sorted. In pass 2, sort the words alphabetically using second letter from the right. For eg, tab has “a” as its middle letter which comes first, then comes bar and so on. In pass 3, sort the words alphabetically using third letter from the right. For eg, bar has “b” as its first letter from left and since no word starts with “a”, bar will appear first. Similarly, big, box, cow and so on. UNSORTED ARRAY | PASS 1 | PASS 2 | PASS 3(SORTED ARRAY) | cow | tea | tab | bar | dog | mob | bar | big | seq | tab | ear | box | rug | rug | tar | cow | row | dog | tea | dig | mob | dig | seq | dog | box | big | dig | ear | tab | seq | big | fox | bar | bar | mob | mob | ear | ear | dog | now | tar | tar | cow | row | dig | cow | row | rug | big | row | now | seq | tea | now | box | tab | now | box...

...Big brother bullies little sister Write an essay (900 -1000 words) in which you analyze and interpret the British newspaper article Big Brother bullies little sister. Part of your essay must focus on the writer’s development concerning his attitude to little sister – and on whom he places the blame. Remember to start with a paragraph about something general about the theme. Remember to have quotes and examples from the text – at least two quotes. Bullying is persistent unwelcome behavior, we all have experienced. It can be in so many levels. It can leave its marks, and can have its consequences. But even though we do not think it is humane to bully, why is it continuing? Should we not step in, and help the bully victim? In the article “Big Brother Bullies little sister” by Stuart Jeffries, we are introduced to the contestant Jade in the “Big Brother” show, and how the show exposes people to get viewers. Jade is 21 years old and are from Bermondsey, she swears and talks behind her fellow housemate’s backs. Even though she can be nice, the Television show does not show it. They keep it hidden, and only show the other side of Jade. The huge audience begins to hate Jade, and threaten to hurt her on an unofficial Big Brother website. They make money from the viewers, so they can´t just let Jade go. “Channel 4, which thanks to the 25p-a-minute eviction phone lines and costly "news update" which misguided people can have texted their mobile phones, is making money out this...

...Position on Military Industrial Complex Catalina M. Young Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy Abstract The “Military Industrial Complex” is a term coined by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. This refers to the relationship between the nation’s armed forces and the industries that support them. Though its name came about in the 1960s, this relationship between armed forces and private industry dates back centuries. Recent legislation has been passed to help limit the power that this relationship has over defense spending. For any country, military spending is a big part of the national budget. Over time this business transaction has formed into a relationship between the nation’s armed forces and these private defense industries. In his farewell speech, President Eisenhower warned the country of this relationship. He named this relationship as the “military industrial complex.” The military industrial complex (MIC) is commonly applied to the United States’ expenditure in comparison to other nations. The MIC is most often referred to when the cost of military spending comes under scrutiny. How the military industrial complex works is that private companies give money to politicians during elections. Following this politicians then support military projects that will further the interests of these private companies. Then the military buys goods from these companies. This relationship can lead to corruption in the government. This has been happening in the United States...

...IMC of McDonalds Rachel Walker Kaplan University MT 359-01 Integrated Marketing Communication Strategies Professor Kevin Cojanu May 28, 2013 McDonalds is a well-known world-wide corporation. Richard (Dick) and Maurice (Mac) McDonald started a barbeque car hop in California in 1940. First starting out they offered a menu that consisted of twenty-nine different items that were served by car hops. By 1947, their business started to slow way down and they had discovered that hamburgers were one of the largest sellers within food sales. That was when the transformation began. The grills, once cast iron, were upgraded to stainless steel and the research of candy machines resulted in the finding of the ideal hamburger shaper. Dick and Mac made a comeback in December of 1948 with a completely different approach and opened as a hamburger venue advertising the famous 15 cent hamburger. When the menu first started out they served 9 different items and French fries was not one of them. It wasn’t until 1949 that the French fries came to the menu to replace regular potato chips and they also introduced a triple thick milkshake. In 1955, Ray Kroc opened a restaurant in Illinois. This was when the famous golden arches were designed by an architect by the name of Stanley Meston. Little did they know that those golden arches would soon become their well-known trademark. The very first advertisement done for this restaurant was the amount of hamburgers sold with the first sign...

...Portfolio Task 1: English Essay The Matrix and Chapter 28 of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe are two examples of conflicting texts that demonstrate opposing ways of viewing the world around us. The Matrix follows the views of an empiricist, set in a mental prison where people rely on their senses to an extent where they are completely oblivious to what is real. Chapter 28 of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe however focuses on a rationalist view through the character the Ruler of the Universe emphasising his day-to-day lifestyle and how he responds to what he conceives to be real. Although these texts present conflicting views upon the world, they are similar in the way they represent their ideas, and it is through these similarities that rationalism and empiricism maintain a conflicting existence. In the Matrix the director intentionally depicts Neo as being the embodiment of empiricism. The directors use of imagery through sombre lighting and choice of plain character costumes, lacking in brightness, colour and their ability to stand out portrays the world Neo is living in and by extension how he views it. This is also present in Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ at the beginning of chapter one where Alice feels bored and drowsy whilst sitting at the river-bank with her elder sister. In one scene Morpheus directly references Carroll by offering Neo the chance to discover what is real. “… You take the blue pill the story ends, you wake...
