...The following report provides a brief description of the first five (5) wild things encountered during the exploration of the island currently identified as WTWTA. The five wild things have been labeled as • Long-Nosed Sea Monitor (Foundem inwaterus) • Horned Lion (Leo decapitatum) • Razor-Toothed Sheep (Ovinus noshaggum) • Bearded Behemoth (Needus clippingem) • Ginger-tressed Hairy Duck (Canardus hirsutus) The current labels are used for cataloguing purposes in order to make note-taking easier. Long-Nosed Sea Monitor (Foundem inwaterus) This ocean-dwelling creature seems to keep at least a third of its body above the waterline. Two horns protrude from a head that is covered in blonde hair. The mouth, lined with nine incisors along the upper jaw, resembles that of an alligator, giving this wild thing the appearance of having a long nose. There are six spines along the back of the neck and three claws on each of the visible front feet. The top of a wing-like structure covers the top of the front feet. Attempts to observe the rest of the body have so far been unsuccessful. Horned Lion (Leo decapitatum) This quadruped seems to lead the wild things and is almost double the size of the smallest wild thing: the razor-toothed sheep. A total of sixteen claws are evenly spread across this creature’s four feet. The body and head resemble that of its namesake, the lion. The difference, however, lies in the three horns that adorn the head. Two are located...

Sight Words: The, that, We Book 2: From head to toe I love reading from head to toe in circle time with any age group. The book gets any age group up and moving. As the different animals bend and move the children can get up and move their body parts like the animals. For younger children they are able to learn different body parts that are not as common and for older children it helps them get up and move and get their wiggles out. In older classrooms I ask the children to be an animal and have the class imitate what their animal can do. In center time we could make animal pictures and journal what unique thing our animals can do. In block center we could build a home for our animals and in dramatic play we could work in zoo and help take care of the animals or be a veterinarian and doctor the animals.

...Sam Rosenbloom Mrs. Villarreal Rhetoric, Composition, and Literature 18 December 2014 The Disregard for Rules If Moses were to come down from Mount Sinai today, he would find out that the tablets that commanded the morals of the world, have been replaced by tablets that can play movies, listen to music, and even order a pizza. Much has changed since Exodus, including how we follow the pivotal rules that have been commanded for us. Though almost everyone can agree that today in 2014, we are not coveting our neighbors slaves, many essential rules we have used to live our lives morally are no longer followed. “Honor your father and mother” is a commandment that has been not only bent but broken, especially in recent times; in fact, today the ubiquitous breaking of this commandment is having such horrific consequences that it is leading to the destruction of not just the breaker of the commandment but the destruction of the family and the community. This year, Caitlyn Ricci has show just how far children have strayed from honoring their parents. Caitlyn is a twenty-one year old who is student at Temple University.

Finally, Caitlyn’s parents were fed up and said if she won’t even talk to them they will not pay for...

...tell me what there is in our present mores that I ought to watch out for unless I want the United States of America to become a slave state something like the Republic of Gilead whose outlines are here sketched out,” (McCarthy 150). Atwood makes her warnings clear through the Tale she has written. Atwood uses a common middle class woman, in an effort to sympathize with the majority of women in the United States, also known as Offred, to paint the picture of the futuristic, or dare I say historical, times. “[Offred] is simply a warm, intelligent, ordinary woman who had taken for granted the freedoms she was to lose—the freedom to love, the freedom to work, the freedom to have access to knowledge,” (Johnson 149). All of us take these things for granted as we meander day to day. As we had our eyes opened as a nation with the events of September 11, we were cocky with a sense of power and security unable to be penetrated. Is this what Atwood is saying about women? Are we, as women, breaking...

...istdstudent assessment International Society of Typographic Designers 2013 istdstudent assessment International Society of Typographic Designers IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 2013 Dear Tutors and Students Most of us can identify films that we have watched several times and, each time, found something that we had missed previously. The British Library is a bit like that – one of those places that you can return to and always find something new that fascinates and informs you. It is six years since we first worked with the Library on a project, then based upon a proposed Science Fiction exhibition. We are delighted to renew our partnership this year with a project that explores their huge online presence and for the first time we use archive sound as the source for the project. Our practice is based upon the printed word but now embraces the gamut of media and technologies that we use to communicate. Accordingly, we have progressively written our student project briefs for interpretation through a range of media. This project is possibly one of our most open in that, beyond identifying the particular British Library archive, the choice of topic, content, treatment and outcomes is all yours. By not defining specific media and outcomes for our projects we offer them as holistic communication challenges – deliberately breaking the perceived tradition of the typo/graphic designer just providing essentially visual skills. First and foremost we are communicators using design skills...

...very good way of conveying the message in order for the public (in this case, the readers) to fully comprehend. There are so many things to take into consideration, all of which are to be further developed. The Pillars of the Earth, a historic-fictional novel situated on a specific area of the 12th century England and written by Ken Follet, is the work to be talked about. Let’s take a better look into it, with all the regard and carefulness it deserves. As a point of departing, the first literary element to be discussed about is the characters. To start, there is Jack Jackson, the son of Jacques Cherbourg and Ellen. He’s a red-headed, blue-eyed, smart, instinctive, passionate young architect, the stepson to Tom Builder. He adores Aliena as a kid and throughout his life, and dreams of building a cathedral with the different styles he has seen in France and Spain. Jack Jackson is a round character because he’s a fully developed character throughout the story and because one would feel Jack is real. We have Tom Builder, as well, who’s a tall architect, thorough worker, a concerned and somewhat ingenuous father who looks forward to the welfare of his family; loving of both Agnes, his dead wife, and Ellen, his lover. He’s a round character because on his account the storyline of the book changes. Then, there’s Ellen, a beautiful, athletic, determined, wild, unreserved, amber-eyed woman, mother to Jack Jackson. Early in her life, she was hurt by other people...

...Miller was raised as a Reconstructionist Jew. Reconstructionist Judaism is an American-based Jewish movement that views Judaism as a progressively evolving civilization. Miller spent most of his childhood attending Hebrew school at a local synagogue getting to know his religion, however that quickly changed as he became a teenager. His teenage years consisted of rebelling against his upbringing as most adolescents do. However, Miller quickly took the path of drugs and dropped out of high school to follow his favorite band Phish on a national tour (Askmen). According to an article by Jordana Horn, Miller said, “Like a lot of American kids, I was not really interested in Judaism and was around that age of starting to make self-discovery. A few things kind of came together for me”, and after a brief stint in a rehabilitation center he went to discover himself in Oregon (Horn, 2008). After Oregon he began to identify himself as “Matt, the Jewish rapper kid of New York” draping himself with an Israeli flag and singing prayers he remembers from synagogue. Miller soon felt like the “token Jew” and moved himself back to New York where he fell into a depression. He spent many hours alone in his room just writing music and practicing along with instrumental tapes. Through his own solitary journey, Miller became more spiritual and had a strong reconnection with his Jewish beliefs. He started up classes on Jewish Spirituality at The New School and there connected with Eli Cohen (a rabbi at NYU)...

But, because the narrator is looking back at situations and actions, her insights and feelings are also prominent, creating a reflective tone. "How I Met My Husband" and Point of View Wayne Clugston, author of Journey Into Literature, examines the role of first-person voice in Alice Munro's How I Met My Husband. Critical Thinking Questions Why does Wayne Clugston say that first-person point of view might be "unreliable"? What is another story you have read in first-person, and how did the use of first-person enhance or detract from the story? Alice Munro (1931—) ASSOCIATED PRESS/ChadHipolito/The Canadian Press Alice Laidlaw Munro was born in Wingham, a small town in southern Ontario, Canada. She began publishing short stories when she was a student at the University of Western Ontario.

...Algorithms and Methods in Recommender Systems Daniar Asanov Berlin Institute of Technology Berlin, Germany Abstract—Today, there is a big veriety of different approaches and algorithms of data filtering and recommendations giving. In this paper we describe traditional approaches and explane what kind of modern approaches have been developed lately. All the paper long we will try to explane approaches and their problems based on a movies recommendations. In the end we will show the main challanges recommender systems come across. II. T RADITIONAL R ECOMMENDER A PPROACHES A. Content-based filtering Content-based recommender systems work with profiles of users that are created at the beginning. A profile has information about a user and his taste. Taste is based on how the user rated items. Generally, when creating a profile, recommender systems make a survey, to get initial information about a user in order to avoid the new-user problem. [2] In the recommendation process, the engine compares the items that were already positively rated by the user with the items he didnt rate and looks for similarities. Those items that are mostly similar to the positively rated ones, will be recommended to the user. Figure 1 shows an example of a user profile with the movies he/she has watched and the ratings the user made. Figure 2 shows the list of movies and their attribute-values. A contentbased recommender system would find out movies from the list (Figure 2) that the user has already watched and...
