...predetermined notions about race force a reluctant change in behavior that further alters society's perceptions of an individual.

...------------------------------------------------- Exploring the Motherboard and Busses Short Answer 3.1 07/20/2015 Michael Huffman Brandon Rodgers When looking at a motherboard, it can be very confusing to say the least. Some of the things you may see on one include; * CPU socket- This socket is where you would place your selected CPU * PCI slots- These slots are the places where you would add expansion cards i.e. Sound, video or network cards * DIMM slots- this is where your selected RAM is placed. (preferably in pairs) * CMOS battery. This battery is in charge keeping all the little thigs going, keeping the system clock etc. Up to date. This goes bad, you will have problems. * Various jumper ports and powering pin ports. When looking to upgrade just the motherboard. You will have to take into account the possibility that your current CPU and other components listed above may not be compatible. Making sure it will fit into the chassis is very important due to the need for a ground. The minimum improvement may just be that. Better heat dissipation is a major improvement. But as before the throttle back with a slower out of date CPU would be a major non improvement. The many different busses are in place for the many different components that are out there for use. The need is simple, not every component is built the same so there couldn’t be a single buss. In a perfect world possibly. The data management or Bandwidth is controlled by these busses...

...Douglass’s 4th of July speech…What is it? Does it mean anything? What does it have to do with us as African Americans? Can or does His speech still have an impact on our generation? Honestly I believe his speech is something that is very important to everyone who is African American. In Douglass’s speech, he shared his perception of 4th of July as a free man and slave man. One of the things that really stood out to me in his speech is when he said “My subject then, fellow citizens, is American Slavery. I shall see this day and its popular characteristics from the slave point of view.” How and what makes 4th of July important to a slave. He explains briefly says “Nation never looked blacker to me than on this Fourth of July.” I believe...

...Christmas Holidays are found no matter where you go. Everyone in this world celebrates one thig or another. The only differences between the holidays for different countries are the subjects of celebration. Christmas may be one of the most renowned holidays in this world. Christmas is a holiday that occurs on the 25th of December. It first originated in western culture, and is heavily celebrated in the US. Christmas was slowly adapted in East Asia once globalization started occurring. Just because it is celebrated in places like China does not mean it encompasses the same meaning for the people. Christmas, for both countries is a holiday near the end of the year where most businesses and schools are closed. It is a holiday where people give gifts to each other, and also spend time with each other. It is a holiday where families spend time together and have a unique experience. For the US, Christmas is a major holiday where many traditions and events occur. There exist a whole backstory, characters, myths, and beliefs for this holiday. There are special ornaments, and decorations. Everyone tries to decorate their whole house and also get a tree. There are special food and drinks too.

...Chemical Senses Paper Psy/345 May 23. 2016 Chemical Senses Paper The Chemical senses, taste and smell, both provide information that can be determine survival. Taste will let us know whether or not we should eat something, based on the taste. Tastes are classified in five categories: sour, salty, bitter, unami, and sweet. these tastes are experienced through taste buds on the tongue. In the nose, when something is sniffed, molecules travel through the nose, and some activate responders on the olfactory epithelium. Olfaction, or the system of smelling, provides us with an alert system to dangerous odors, cues to orient ourselves, mark territory, a guide to specific places, animals, food, and in sexual reproduction for many species (pheromones). Our olfactory epithelium can be activated in as many as 10-100,000 different patterns, to recognize different odors. (Biswas, 2014) If we could not smell our test would be blander. Taste, or the perception of flavor, is a result of the stimulation of receptors on the tongue and olfaction. Taste occurs when the chemicals of a food or beverage pass over the receptors of the tongue. At the same time, these chemicals release other chemicals that travel through the retronasal route to the nasal pharynx to the olfactory mucosa. The importance of olfaction in flavor is usually ignored, until someone loses the ability. The unawareness that flavor occurs in the nasal passages as well is an illusion that is created by oral capture. There...

...Unit 2 Assignment 2 P4 There are many pieces of legislation that are put in place to protect and safeguard vulnerable people; like Mrs Naidoo. I am going describe five pieces of legislation and regulations, and explain how they safeguard vulnerable adults. The Care Standard Act 2002 The Care Standard Act is in place for anyone who receives care. These are the minimum standards by which every care provider must adhere to and are inspected on a regular basis. Its policies include giving patients the right to a choice of home, everyday living, activities, protection and administration of medicine. This legislation helps to direct care organisations regarding the protection of vulnerable adults. It does this by giving vulnerable individuals the right to a social life and to make sure all their needs are met, which will really help with their health and well being. For example this regulation could really help someone like Mrs Naidoo, who is not joining in social activities. She is being left out of social activities, which she has a right to and this means she is not getting any social life. Therefore, this piece of legislation really would help her. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 The Disability Discrimination Act aims to end the discrimination that faces many people with disabilities. It gives people with disabilities rights in the areas of: • employment • education • access to goods, facilities and services, including larger private clubs...

Intro: Dancing fairy bassets, cows with fins, fish that walk or play dead, slugs that are always dressed up for funerals...these aren’t fictitious characters plucked out of a sequel to Alice in Wonderland, but just some of the incredible creatures that actually inhabit the pristine waters off the southern tip of Manila. Underwater Photographer and diver, Digant Desai takes you on a tour of the magical world at the apex of the coral triangle. Surrounded by muck, discarded tyres and toothbrushes somewhere between a busy jetty and a fishing village, I slipped on my SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) gear and prepared to dive into an unknown world. Diving was no new experience for me, and yet, if there was one thing I could be certain of as a seasoned diver, it was that each dive was a whole new experience. The cool aqua seemed as inviting as always, its hidden treasures still a lure like no other. And yet, even as I allowed the waves to swallow me, this time, numerous doubts surfaced. What exotic scenery would I possibly get to absorb in an area like this? Surely, the bustle would have driven marine-life further away from shore. With twenty-four breathtaking dive spots to choose from between Anilao and Maricaban Island, had I chosen wisely? Gifts from the heart of the ocean But there’s no room for confusion under water. The ocean simply won’t allow it! Like a gifted masseuse, she instantly picks up on frayed nerves and works quickly to wash...

...In our busy world it is easy to forget that we need relaxation. Reaserchers have proven that taking time out of your day to relax not only improves your mental health, but your physical health as well. By reading this paper, you will learn ways to relax on your day off. First you will need a few things: a day off, a vehicle to take you where ever you may want to go, a list of things you love doing, a phone, some money, and some friends (optional). First thing's first, take a day off of work! If this does not happen, your whole relaxation plan will be foiled. Next thing you want to do is make sure you have secured some money, if you don't have money, you will hae to bum it off of your friends who will grow tired of you taking advantage of them and then you will have no friends. Who wants that? After you make sure you have money, make sure that the vehicle you have procured is one that is passenger friendly, nobody wants to get invited to a friends house, decide to go somewhere, and realize they have to now hop on the back of a kawasaki ninja. Once the vehicle in question is in your posession, (this includes vehicle and keys) make sure your vehicle is filled up with gas. A vehicle that needs gas not only slows down the days activitiesm but it also uses precious money that you have with you, and if you are doing things like taking a day off work, we can imply that you are not making the same income as you would be for a normal week and therefor have less money to spend willy...

...Mathew Bleasdale-Clews Using Material From Item A & Elsewhere, Assess The View That Factors & Processes Within The School Are The Main Cause Of Differences In The Educational Achievement Of Different Social Groups: The cause of differences in the educational achievement of different social groups can be asssigned to various social areas. One example is that of gender within school; the level of success in a child’s education can vary greatly depending on how a boy or girl is treated throughout their school life compared to the other. For example, in the 1960’s/70’s, sociologists were concerned with the apparent underachievement of girls. It wasn’t simply due to a lack of ambition; back then it was the norm for women to marry, and it was almost socially unacceptable for women to reach higher education, thus girls may have felt pressured in lower education to have less of a strive towards educational success than boys did. Far fewer girls studied maths, physics and chemistry as boys as these were considered ‘male’ orientated subjects, in which mostly male teachers were tutors for the subjects. If women did study such subjects they likely will have been ignored in the presence of so many male students. By the time boys were ready for university, girls were very likely to be considering family life, marriage and raising offspring. Even if they wished to attent university, grade boundaries were inflated to make it far more difficult for them to attain entry than boys...

...American languages. The Navajo went through training at Camp Pendleton, California and after they studied to be code talkers would be sent to the Pacific Lines and unites to work with fellow United States Marines. Trained to use a manipulated version of their language the Navajo men who became code talkers used roughly twenty-six words for the alphabet, using animal names for eighteen of the words and ice, nut, quiver, Ute, victor, cross, yucca, and zinc, for I, N, Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z. The second part of the language was 211 words were English and Navajo equivalent (World War II: Navajo Code Talkers). Also instead of directly adding military terminology into the Navajo language they would use words that already were around to describe thigs; like bomber was buzzed, America was our Mother, and Fighter Plane was Humming Bird. The number of words used ended with a total of 411 words (Navajo Code Talkers and the Unbreakable Code). These were used communicate over the radio for Marines during World War II. Philip Johnston was a man who know that the military desired a code that was unbreakable and was the son of a missionary and grows up on the Navajo reservation and as a World War I veteran know a code was needed. He want to enlist the Navajo people because he know how the language worked and that having the Navajo using their language would work as a good device to communicate for the United States Marine Corps during World War II.

...At a time when lide has rerely benn tougher for manufacturers in the developed world, miele’s strategy for survival is to break almost all the rules. The german company, a global leader in high-quality domestic appliances such as washing machines and vacum cleaners, is renowned for its exavting manufacturing standards and its refusal to move down-market and compete on price. Miele bases nearly all its manufacturing in high-cost Germany and is self-sufficient to a high degree. Rather than outsource to low-cost supliers, it makes 4m electric motors ayear (enough for all its products) in its own plant near cologne. Which it says is essential to maintain its quality standards. Sales last year werw E2.2bn (L1.5bn) The approach commands respect among miele,s industry peers. ‘it is the Rolls-Royece of the industry, with a fantastic position at the top end,’ says Andrea Guerra, chief executive of Merloni, the italian white goods maker. But the domestiic appliance sector is one of europe’s most competitive and inevitably questions are being asked about how long miele can stick to what many see as its old-dashioned ways, before succumbing to lower-costt rivals. In fact, whether miele survives in its current form over the next decade will be an important test case for the whole of european manufacturing. The company sells appliances ranging from dishwashers to coffee machines, most commanding a price premium of up to 70 per cent over the competitors’ wares. It spends 12 per cent of its...
