...Historical Visit The Windy City, was all that I knew of Chicago before my visit. As someone who never really traveled far, Chicago was no different as I had never really visited it. So when looking to complete my summer homework, I thought this, the Chicago Historical Society, would be the ideal place to broaden my perspective. The museum itself was a great place to be itself but what really caught my eye were the artifacts, especially those of the Great Chicago Fire and some of the great historical exhibits such as Lincolns Chicago, which detailed the Chicago that Abraham Lincoln grew up in; “one of a dynamic young metropolis on the verge of greatness.” The exhibits ranged from the earliest times of Chicago, building the city itself, until modern-day. Perhaps the most controversial topics within the museum were those of African-American rights, industrial workers, both male and female, and the growing cities criminal problem. The museum offered a large number of exhibits regarding industrial workers, as Chicago itself was an advancing society, the exhibits took you into the lives of the workers who spends up to 12 hours or more within the factories repeating task after task with little to no safety or rest. Due to these unsafe working conditions articles and novels such as “The Jungle”, by Upton Sinclair, were written to expose these issues. Work within the factories was popularized by media due to times of war, as well as being the most is the easily employable job; as the...

...On the September 18, 2014, I visited Windy Hills Elementary School in Kearney, Nebraska. Visiting Windy Hills was a wonderful experience. Upon taking the first step in the doors of the school, I felt welcomed. The bright colors and smiling faces of the staff made the environment feel warm. During my visit, I had the opportunity to observe a speech pathologist at work. I also observed a kindergarten class. It was very interesting witnessing a teacher with a classroom of kids and also a student having one on one time with a speech pathologist. Seeing different teaching strategies combined with some of the moral dimensions gave me a new outlook on the definition of what a teacher really is. Classroom Management The organization of the classroom...

...Due to my anxiety I tend to worry a lot, although the things I worry about differ from everyday fears. Many people, who suffer from anxiety, worry about their greatest fear, and from that I realized my greatest fear is to see others unhappy. I never could wrap my mind around the fact that I couldn’t always make someone happy, although one day I tried. The winter of 2010 when I turned ten, my grandmother decided to take my sister, cousin, and I to Chicago. I had traveled to Chicago before when I was much younger, and recollected not appreciating the streets of the Windy City. They breamed with business men and women, smiling tourists, and effervescent street performers. Although in the nooks and crannies stood homeless people begging for food and shelter. Since we were going to be traveling at Christmas time, temperatures were below freezing and snow would quickly accumulate on the ground. So before departing we made Holiday gift bags for the homeless we saw. We stuffed the bags chalk full of scarfs, mittens, food, money, and books and went on our way to the big city. My eyes filled with bliss when I witnessed our finished products....

...start a ginormous fire. Could have peg leg started it ? I don't think so because he LITERALLY had a wooden leg! How can he run to the barn in 200 feet , sprinted.. but who knows. Very windy I also think windy weather conditions had something to do with it. So in the article the great Chicago fire wasn't started by a cow, it said that “Further, given the prevalence of flames at night and the extremely dry and windy conditions at the time” so that means it was very windy and dry . And weather conditions have to do with that. if it was started by the gambler or peg leg, it wouldn't be very true because peg leg or the gambler can't cause hot, dry and windy weather conditions, their just normal regular humans.. So reading this makes me think the wind had something to do with it. Just imagine being there , the hot wind blowing through your hair.. sweating . People must of been sweating before the fire had started . So if they were sweating they would be trying to get water somehow.. maybe the wind was so fast that it blew down a tree and fell on a building and started it .. who knows .. Conclusion Did leg leg start the Chicago fire? Of course NOT! Consider this ,just TRY to imagine peg leg “ sprinting “ 200 feet with a wooden leg . How would that be possible ? Always remember that it was windy and hot , if he sprinted with that wooden leg, he would be drowning in sweat. And plus, he had a wooden leg, wood and fire don't go together well.. One day perhaps everyone will know...

...In the Case of Randy Rolek vs. Wally of “Windy City Watches,” Randy is suing Wally in Federal District Court for failure to complete the terms of agreement for which Randy signed to purchase 100 Rolek watches from Wally, under the UCC Statute of Frauds. Under the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, can Randy Rolek, of Milwaukee WI, sue Wally of “Windy City Watches,” in Chicago IL for not following through with their agreement?

According to Section 2 of the UCC Statute of Frauds, Except as otherwise provided in this section a contract for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by his authorized agent or broker. A writing is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this paragraph beyond the quantity of goods shown in such writing. In reference to the above paragraph, a contract for the purchase of 100 watches was drafted by Randy Rolek and sent to Wally of “Windy City Watches,” In which Wally signed making the contract complete.

...Effects of wind on stomatal conductance and transpiration rate of Betula papyrifera Previous studies on transpiration rates of plants suggest that in the presence of wind, transpiration rates can increase as the boundary layer is removed. A branch of Betula papyrifera was set up as a potometer and exposed to windy conditions and its transpiration rate measured, as well as the stomatal conductance. Although the average rate of transpiration and stomatal conductance were lower for the branch exposed to wind, there was no significant difference between the treatment and control group data sets to suggest a direct relationship. Introduction Plants are able to take in water and move it throughout its systems through the process of transpiration, in which moisture is carried from the roots to the leaves to be evaporated out through the stomata. Water loss through transpiration is crucial for plant survival as it allows them to cool their temperature, as well as increase their nutrient intake as additional water is absorbed to compensate for the loss. Although most of the water absorbed from the soil is lost through transpiration, plants utilize a small percentage of water to undergo photosynthesis. The energy required to carry out both transpiration and photosynthesis is obtained from sunlight, which can have a direct effect the transpiration rate. Plants are at a higher risk of wilting in hot, sunny weather due to the increase in rate of transpiration and lack of water abundance...

...METHODOLOGY In order for me to carry out this investigation I will be the `Caregiver` which involves me reading `Winnie the Pooh`, a gender neutral book to two of nieces and my nephew. I used a tape recorder to record them, which I then transcribed. I got the parents of the children to sign a consent form which I created; in which they will give me permission of undertake this language investigation. I intend to analyse and annotate my transcripts according to lexical, grammatical and caregiver language features which are evident within my texts. As I believe that these are crucial areas in the way children acquire language. I used Microsoft excel which allowed me to accurately count the number of verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, nouns etc. Which were used by each child. This resulted in statistical data that will create concrete evidence which I will use in my essay to support my analysis. INTRODUCTION/HYPOTHESIS For my A-level English language investigation coursework, I have chosen to evaluate child language Acquisition and how gender differences may be apparent at the telegraphic stage as well as how caregiver language can vary when interacting with different genders. When looking over at my transcripts I will keep a few questions into consideration: * Does gender influence child language acquisition? * Does caregiver language alter our verbal communication when interacting with different...

...And, you really shouldn’t always be looking at the geese, because if you can clearly see them, this can mean that they can see you as well. So, just keep calm and aim for your target. Be more careful on windy days Geese hunting on windy days has a few tricks. Finishing the geese on such weather might cause a problem because they often land shortly and out of the wind. In order to follow their game, you should also be positioned out of the wind, preferably in low areas, behind trees or upon hillsides. Also, on windy days, make sure that you always use the loud and aggressive goose call. Get back to basics If you have tried different ways to call in the geese and they don’t respond, always go back to basics. No matter how professional you have become in the field, try the simple call which very often has great impact. Simple calling seems to be the universal language that geese all over the world understand. The secret to using the simple calling is to be able to use a lot of volume and yet to use a softer voice when calling them. When playing with geese, act like a goose! Geese lie low when the temperature...

...October 8, 1871, Chicago, Illinois, the windy city, the city that would soon be in blasting, blistering flames. A terrible sight for all of it’s citizens. Jim Murphy, the author of the book “The Great Fire,” informed us about many facts that it was definitely “a city ready to burn.” It started at the O’Learys house. Their house was filled with hay to feed the animals and coal for the winter. We’re not sure how the fire started, but there was a rumor that there was a lantern in the barn that a cow kicked over. The town was made many flammable items. First of all, the whole town was made of wood. Buildings, sidewalks, and roads were made of wood. All of the barns filled with hay, factories filled tons of coal and gas. “Most...

There are a few similar characteristics between Chicago and Cincinnati. Both Chicago and Cincinnati are located in The United States of America; Chicago is the principal city in Illinois and Cincinnati is one of the principal cities in Ohio. Chicago has a good education, and Cincinnati too. The people in Chicago are polite and kind, because they always try to help the other people similar to the people in Cincinnati. There are some differences between Chicago and Cincinnati. Chicago has cold and windy weather. However, Cincinnati has cold weather, but its not colder and windy as Chicago. But both cities have four seasons per year. Chicago has a big and beautiful downtown because there are many things to do, such as: eat in elegant restaurants, nightclubs, cinemas and many things that you could enjoy. In contrast, Cincinnati has a small and horrible downtown because we don't have anything to do there, because there are a lot of buildings and office.
