... The plastic bottles are also taxed at a higher rate than glass bottles. The private water contracts got cancelled in British Columbia when there was a change of government. The one of the main problems with desalinating water is burning fossil fuels and energy shortage. Burning fossil fuels contributes to global warming and which in return contributes to climate change. There is already a energy shortage and there is no extra energy available to desalinate water. The difference between tap water and bottled water is convenience and access. Water is supplied once a week to people in many places in Africa, such as Ghana Ryan’s Well is the name of the water sanitation foundation started by a Canadian student. Discussion questions: The term “New Colonialism” means as it refers to water is that water in many different countries is now owned by big companies. This concept is demonstrated in the documentary by showing how big companies like Suez and Veolia own water in countries like Argentina, Puerto Rico and etc. Water is now privatized and control by the companies who privatize water in exchange of things like debt relief. Basically big companies are taking over water. Key arguments for privatization of water are: 3rd world countries were offered water privatizing in exchange for debt relief and some countries like Africa had access to clean water. Key arguments against the privatization of...

...(http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/makingsenseofmaths). Mr Gough, a maths teacher and one of the authors of the aforementioned book(s) states the following: “My experience of teaching GCSE Foundation Tier is that by the time they get to KS4 they’ve already covered most of the content and they’re having the same content repeated in the same way that they found difficult in the first place so my experience of using this approach is that it seemed very different to them and it reinvigorated their interest in maths and they were very positive about maths lessons again. We’ve also taken these materials to various exam boards around the country; all of them confirm that its approach can be given credit for in terms of method marks whether the question is answered correctly or not. Indeed one chief examiner was saying that anything that promoted the students drawing things in the exam was definitely a good thing. He...

...Practical – Do leading questions have an effect on memory? Aim: To find out whether leading questions result in the inaccuracy of memory. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that participants who are asked a leading question will have a higher estimate of speed after watching the video clip. I have suggested this due to the Loftus and Palmer Study (1974), in which Loftus and Palmer conclude that leading questions alter a person’s recollection of memory, often activating the wrong schemas and in most cases distort the recalled information by reconstructing the memory with the help of particular cues. The hypothesis created is one-tailed/ directional. Null Hypothesis: My null hypothesis is that participants who are asked a leading question will have a similar estimate of speed as participants who are asked a non-leading question. Apparatus: 1. A video clip of two cars being raced - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfV87TgYH78 2. Paper and pen – For students to write their estimate of speed. Independent Variable: The independent variable is the leading/ non-leading question asked to participants. Dependent Variable: The dependent variable is the estimation of the speed (mph) of the car in the video clip shown to participants. The two variables above will determine the final results acquired from the experiment I will be conducting with my group. Controlled Variable: I will ensure that the two groups contain equal number of participants. For...

...(1974) original study on how a different verb in the question used to ask for the speed of the car affected the participants’ estimate on the speeds of the car crash. In this experiment, three videos were shown to them and they were asked a series of questions including how fast the car was when it smashed/contacted each other. The participants are teenage students from an international school in Hong Kong. It is hypothesized that the word ‘smash’ would cause a higher estimate in speed than the word ‘contacted’. Speed estimates for ‘smashed’ were in fact slower overall than ‘contacted’, a discussion on why the results were not replicated is included. The results from this experiment did not conform with the original study so they are inconclusive. (136) Contents: Introduction 1 Design 1 Participants 1 Procedure 2 Results and Conclusion 2 Discussion 3 References 4 Appendix 1 4 Appendix 2 6 Appendix 3 7 Appendix 4 8 Introduction: Loftus and Palmer (1974) believed that our memory depended on the reconstruction of an event in our mind when we try to remember. So they created an experiment where participants were asked to view videos of car crashes and recall the speed they think the cars were traveling at time of collision. The aim was to find out how accurately people can remember the details of a complex event. They found that the more dramatic the word was used to ask the question, the higher the reported speed of the crash. This...

...Jacob Pope F.A.T City Reaction Paper While watching the F.A.T City video, I must first say that it was an amazing video and that Richard Lavoie should win an award, if he hasn’t already. In this reaction paper, I’ll review some of the same difficulties that I went through as a younger student. I will also describe how this video has impacted me and what I will take away from this video. Also, what will be discussed are three accommodations that I saw in the video. Lastly what will be discussed is my definition of fairness as taken from the video, along with an event in my educational history where I’ve appreciated an accommodation. This is what my reaction paper will consist of. In my first paragraph, I will discuss some of the same difficulties that I went through that Mr. Lavoie described in the video. The first one that really grabbed my attention is when he was asking the questions about the various movies in which involve a pig. Once he asked this question, and he got his first “I don’t know” answer, he accepted it. Since he accepted this answer from one student, the next three students thought that it was acceptable to respond with the same answer. I too have went through this as a student. Once I found out that the teacher would accept my “I don’t know” as an answer, the more I’d respond in this manner. I did this for as long as I can remember unless I was 100% sure that my answer was correct. Nothing was done on the part of the instructor...

...Video TeleConferencing (VTC) System Markell D. Holliday CIS/207 Information Systems Fundamentals April 11, 2013 David Avery Jr. Video TeleConferencing (VTC) System Video teleconferencing is a system that is used in the military to bring families back together instantly with their loved ones stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other oversea countries across the world (Military Information Technology, 2009). In addition, military leaders can speak eye to eye with their subordinates and private industry partners for effective communication to review detailed documents without leaving their offices. They also ensure that the commander’s intent is understood (Military Information Technology, 2009). Video Teleconferencing is a method of holding that allows people who are in different cities and countries, to communicate on computers or television. In the 35th Signal Brigade, Video Teleconferencing was used to talk to leaders and soldiers in combat zones and to have meetings with our higher headquarter, XVIII Airborne Corp at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Before video teleconferencing, the military had emails, chat rooms, and morale calls to keep soldiers overseas in contact with their families. It was also one of the ways commanders communicate with subordinates and held meetings over the phone with units in combat zones. The military realizes that phones calls were not reliable. The phone calls were often broken, had static and unfortunately very expensive for soldiers and the...

...Reflective essay HLSC110 Question: What can I take away from the experience of observing this video that will help me develop clinical skill (knowledge and self-awareness) in either therapeutic communication or inter-professional communication? Therapeutic communication is the communication between the nurse and the patient, focusing on the patient’s wellbeing (Berman et al, 2015). In the video of the radiographer working in the emergency department, therapeutic communication is demonstrated between the radiographer and his patient. After reflecting over the therapeutic communication that’s shown in this video, it has helped me developed different techniques that are used with this communication and how to approach these techniques in the best way. Using Discolls reflection cycle, the ‘what’ comes first, describing what has happened in the situation. The therapeutic communication in this video starts with the Radiographer Peter, abruptly entering the room of pregnant patient Sally, who has seemed to have had a stroke. Not realizing that Sally can’t talk, Peter immediately starts to ask her questions before Sally’s husband has to step in and explain what her situation is. Peter then carry’s on asking Sally’s husband questions about herself and explains that he needs to do a CT scan of her brain. Peter then makes it clear that because a CT scan requires them to use radiation that there is harm to the baby. Sally’s husband becomes concerned and tries to sort out with Peter...

...Summary The video presented during week 3 titled ‘Balancing the Books: Understanding Financial Reporting’ follows a new accountant trainee as he is quizzed on the basic of accounting through a mock game show style presentation. The key topics covered during the video were accounting and information, the balance sheet, calculating profit and loss, cash control, and assessing financial performance. There is a game show host, and the trainee Calvin appears as a contestant on the show, which has been designed to test his skills and knowledge. Through a series of progressive questions the goal of the game show is for the contestant Calvin to attempt to make a million dollars. As every question is asked there is a respective flashback that is played associated with the question being asked that is designed to provide insight on what is being quizzed. The flashbacks are great learning tools, and assist with the learning process in two ways. First they explain in detail so that viewers are able to understand and relate to the material, and secondly the video flashbacks provide real world context. This context is an important learning tool because it can assist with different learning styles that individuals may have. Reading about accounting and finances in the text is one thing, however seeing the information presented in real world scenarios assists in further making the material easier to grasp. Another aspect that was enjoyable about the video is that the video presents the question...

...Tracy King 3DLA Reflective Statement Creating a Positive Learning Environment Learning environment – I chose to arrange the room in a horse-shoe shape with participants seated behind desks. This enabled everyone to have a clear view of the screen for my power-point point and video presentations. The desks were needed as the icebreaker and activities required making written notes. I provided fish shaped biscuits and sweets to promote the FISH theme and ensured participants had pens, post-it notes and paper required for the activities and icebreaker. I began my session my introducing everyone to Nemo swimming in his bowl of water. This was to attract their attention and give the indication that this session was informal and fun. My session started with a run through general housekeeping information to ensure members knew how long the presentation would last, where to locate toilets etc and a few rules on using mobile phones etc. The aim was to help participants to feel more relaxed and familiar with their surroundings. I also checked everyone was comfortable with the temperature and seating within the room. Presentation Strategies My presentation began with an icebreaker whereby everyone wrote their mood on a label and wear it throughout the session. Members were asked to read out their label in turn. The purpose of this activity was to get learners to think about how they were feeling, eg ‘tired, uncomfortable, stressed’. This was revisited at the end of...

...Technological Development ITS325-1: Technology, Ethics, and Global Community Colorado State University- Global Campus Amy McLaughlin May 25, 2014 Introduction The world is rapidly changing and we are in continual pursuit of faster and more gratifying solutions. This paper gives an overview of society’s use of technological evolution to compensate for our need for instant gratification. It will also take a look at the technology of video chat and how this innovation may potentially change our ways of communication and travel. Telegraphs Effects on Society As a result of Samuel Morse’s telegraph cross country communication improved vastly. The telegraph’s role was completely transformed by 1880, becoming crucial to the political and economic life of the nation (Winston & Edelbach, p. 40, 2014). After the Atlantic cable was completed, the speed and frequency of the communications between nations increased, forever changing the political landscape (Winston & Edelbach, p. 39, 2014). The use of telegraphs became integral to society. It was the lifeline for newspapers. President Lincoln’s balloon corps took off in 1861. The primary reason for the corps’ existence was the fact that the balloon was equipped with a telegraph (Army Balloon Corps, n.d.). The operator was able to give real time information regarding the movements of enemy troops. This could then be reported to the ground troops, thus giving us the first aerial telegram. Railroad companies used it...
