Explicación sencilla del sistema educativo en EE.UU.

Para los reciã ©n llegados an Estados Unidos, el sistema educativo es uno de los grandes misterios y uno de los temas que ms inquietudes plantea.

Lo que no es tan claro es a quã © edad se debe comenzar en kindergarten y a cul finalizar los estudios obligatorios ya que cada estado establece sus propias reglas. Pero en general puede decirse que en algã ºn punto entre los 5 y los 8 aã ±os los niã ±os deben escolarizarse y deben estudiar hasta los 16 o, en algunos estados, 18-19 aã ±os. Por ejemplo, en California es obligatoria la enseã ±anza entre las edades de 6 y 18 aã ±os, pero se permite dejar de estudiar a los 16 si el estudiante se ha graduado de secondary school o ha obtenido el tã ­tulo equivalente que se conoce como CHSPE y, adems, tiene el permiso de sus padres.

Feed menos de 2,000 pero se encuentran dentro de esta categorã ­a las famosas Phillips Academy Andover, con un excelente sistema de becas paraâ estudiantes excelentes pero sin recursos,â y Exeter. En segundo lugar, feed escuelas parroquiales, que estn estrechamente vinculadas con una iglesia y child muy populares, conformando el city hall leader nã ºmero de escuelas privadas. En los Estados Unidos la mayorã ­a child catã ³licas, aunque tambiã ©n las feed protestantes y judã ­as. Un aspecto a tener en cuenta es que child, en general, notablemente ms baratas que las escuelas independientes. En tercer lugar, destacar las escuelas privadas con blade de lucro, que se conocen en inglã ©s como exclusive schools.â Por à ºltimo, existe una alternativa a las escuelas pã ºblicas y a las privadas: la escolaridad en casa y es que en los Estados Unidos ms de un millã ³n y medio de estudiantes reciben la educaciã ³n en sus casas, lo que se conoce como home schooling,â actuando como profesores sus padres, maestros-tutores contratados o, incluso, siguiendo cursos completos por web. Los requerimientos en cuanto a la obligaciã ³n de notificar esta opciã ³n de enseã ±anza, rendir exmenes o educational plan a seguir varã ­a enormemente entre los diferentes estados, por lo que es necesario informarse en profundidad de las reglas que rigen en el lugar de residencia habitual.â  ¿Cà ³mo se dividen las escuelas por grados?

Babylonia and the Law Code of Hammurabi

Babylonia and the Law Code of Hammurabi Babylonia (generally, current southern Iraq) is the name of an old Mesopotamian realm known for its math and space science, engineering, writing, cuneiform tablets, laws and organization, and excellence, just as abundance and insidiousness of Biblical extents. Control of Sumer-Akkad Since the region of Mesopotamia close to where the Tigris and Euphrates waterways purged into the Persian Gulf had two prevailing gatherings, the Sumerians, and Akkadians, it its to as Sumer-Akkad. As a major aspect of a practically unending example, others continued attempting to assume responsibility for the land, mineral assets, and exchange courses. In the end, they succeeded. Semitic Amorites from the Arabian Peninsula dealt with the greater part of Mesopotamia by around 1900 B.C. They concentrated their monarchical government over the city-states only north of Sumer, in Babylon, some time ago Akkad (Agade). The three centuries of their control is known as the Old Babylonian time frame. The Babylonian King-God Babylonians accepted the ruler held force as a result of the divine beings; besides, they thought their lord was a divine being. To expand his capacity and control, an administration and brought together government were set up alongside the unavoidable aides, tax assessment, and automatic military help. Divine Laws The Sumerians previously had laws, however they were controlled together by people and the state. With a heavenly ruler came supernaturally enlivened laws, infringement of which was an offense to the state just as the divine beings. The Babylonian lord (1728-1686 B.C.) Hammurabi arranged the laws wherein (as unmistakable from the Sumerian) the state could arraign for its own sake. The Code of Hammurabi is renowned for requesting discipline to fit the wrongdoing (the lex talionis, or tit for tat) with various treatment for every social class. The Code is believed to be Sumerian in soul yet with a Babylonian motivated cruelty. The Babylonian Empire and Religion Hammurabi likewise joined the Assyrians toward the north and the Akkadians and Sumerians toward the south. Exchange with Anatolia, Syria, and Palestine spread Babylonian impact further. He further united his Mesopotamian realm by building a system of streets and a postal framework. In religion, there wasnt much change from Sumer/Akkad to Babylonia. Hammurabi included a Babylonian Marduk, as boss god, to the Sumerian pantheon. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a Babylonian gathering of Sumerian stories about an incredible ruler of the city-territory of Uruk, with a flood story. When, in the rule of Hammurabis child, the pony back trespassers known as the Kassites, made attacks into A babylonian area, the Babylonians thought it discipline from the divine beings, yet they figured out how to recuperate and remained in (constrained) power until the start of the sixteenth century B.C. at the point when the Hittites sacked Babylon, just to pull back later in light of the fact that the city was excessively inaccessible from their own capital. In the long run, the Assyrians stifled them, however even that was not the finish of the Babylonians for they rose again in the Chaldean (or Neo-Babylonian) time from 612-539 put on the map by their extraordinary lord, Nebuchadnezzar.

Happy New Year, Illini!

Happy New Year, Illini! Happy New Year! I feel rejuvenated after spending the holidays with family  and friends, and of course surrounded by fluffy pets wearing cute holiday sweaters. Its great to have that time to be with loved ones and to get that mental break from all sorts of work. While some of you might not be fans of resolutions, it can serve as great motivation to  reinvent yourself on a clean  slate. Personally, Im a huge fan of them. So, this next semester will be my last semester as an  undergrad, but before I can join the full-time work space or attend grad school, I need to rethink some of my  bad habits in  2015. I thought Id outline a few of my resolutions to be a better Illinois college student in 2016. Avoid the snooze button. Expectations: Photobucket Reality:   The Odyssey Online In 2015, I remained a morning person (weird, I know), but I am also guilty of rolling over to hit the snooze button in the afternoons or even well into the evening for a whopping four-hour nap. A nap shouldnt last four hours. You should be getting your sleep at night, and perhaps take a 30 min to an hour nap during the day. This compromises time spent with friends and  on  homework, which only leads to stress crying and all-nighters (1 star, would not recommend). In 2016, Ill go to bed early. Ive always been a work hard, play later type of person, but Ive lost touch of that by napping during my free time. Sure, its nice to take a nap after a long day, but I went too far and made that a routine  that only  guaranteed  insomnia and solitude during the week days. Create a daily and weekly checklist. Expectations: Tumblr Reality: Tumblr In 2015, I made vague checklists and totally forgot about them. I wrote them on my iPad between classes or during lecture. They were quite bold, and it was clear I was in a good mood that day for radical change. Eat more greens. Stop drinking coffee. Go to the gym. Either way, these were lists that were created with the sole intent of running in the other direction. They were too big for me to turn  into routine. I lost sight of these goals and spent even more money coping with caffeine withdrawal, and eventually, I resorted back to my caffeine addiction through afternoon  coffee runs. In 2016, Ill be a bit more specific on how Ill tackle  these goals. You need a game plan to make things happen. Ill be more specific on what eat more greens will entail in my packed lunches. Ill be open to compromise with myself, understanding  that there will be productive days and slip up days. Its inevitable with a tight college student budget, time constraints, and other student obligations, but its worth a try! Set aside time for your side projects. Expectations: Tumblr Reality: Giphy In 2015, I opened a word document and played Spotify on the background as I wrote my stories, essays, business papers, etc. for all my classes. Sure, I got all my work done days before the deadline, but I didnt really feel engaged with what I was doing half the time. I was multitasking and distracted. I didnt seem to make time for revisions, either. In 2016, I plan on writing 250+ words every day. That doesnt quite consider time as much, but its flexible enough for me to make it work  during a busy semester schedule.  Finding time to write has always been the internal struggle for most of my creative writing friends and for myself.  If youre a structured person, maybe you set aside time to read or time to get your side projects done. For me, time has always been an issue. So, now Im strictly breaking my side project apart by focusing on  the word count. Start on job applications and be confident about your accomplishments.   Expectations: Tumblr Reality: Tumblr Second semester is when students typically rush to the Career Center to practice their interview spiel on others. As a senior now, this is when I need to pluck up  enough courage and begin those job applications. In 2015, I wasnt confident to share my work with others just yet. As a perfectionist, this can be a let down. There were days I didnt want to submit my completed application to grad schools because I was feeling anxious. While I had experience in business technical writing, I convinced myself I wasnt pursuing anything worthwhile and that I wasnt  marketable at all. This is all pretty ridiculous, but it happens. In 2016, Ill be ready to share my work with professors and colleagues. Im going to embrace the feedback and revision process further by actually taking time to look back at the written feedback on my work. Im also going to outline my successes in the Creative Writing field. I  have received  a few undergraduate awards and publications during  my time here, and I should include them on my resume and cover letters with pride! Have any resolutions for this upcoming semester? Feel free to share them with me, too! ?? Jenny Class of 2016 I'm majoring in Creative Writing in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I'm from the north side of Chicago, an artsy neighborhood along the lakefront called Andersonville. I plan to pursue a low-residency MFA program in Fiction Writing with the hope of becoming a published author.

Literary Devices In Letter From Birmingham Jail - Free Essay Example

Sample details Pages: 3 Words: 834 Downloads: 6 Date added: 2019/05/28 Category History Essay Level High school Tags: Letter From Birmingham Jail Essay Did you like this example? On April 16, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, the now infamous, Letter from Birmingham Jail, which was a response to the eight clergymen who wrote a letter to Martin Luther King Jr. stating that there was racial segregation to be handled, but that it was a job for the courts and law to handle, and not everyday people. Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "Literary Devices In Letter From Birmingham Jail" essay for you Create order In his letter, King supported the idea that injustice was everywhere, and not just in court rooms. He supported his claims by applying anaphora, diction, parallelism, and rhetoric appeals. King uses his words to build trust and reassurance, feeling of emotions and logistics and credibility in his response letter to effectively get his messages across. King most effectively applies these devices by giving an incredible insight as to what African Americans are faced with daily, and the make-up of just and unjust laws in Alabama. King uses pathos by giving examples of how poorly Negros were frequently treated while the law watched it happen and did nothing about it. He implies how mothers and fathers were lynched and brothers and sisters are drowned because white men felt like doing it. He states that when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim which causes the reader to feel and experience the brutality that the negro population suffered through (King 4). He uses pathos a second time by referencing a little girl who sees an advertisement for an amusement park that is opening. She begins to cry when shers told that she, along with other African Americans, are not allowed to go because the park wont allow colored people to enter (King 4). His descriptions highlight the extent of racism in Montgomery, at the time. His use of pathos in the letter evokes the true emotions that King had for the movement and how much the rebellions meant to him. King wants his child to go to an amusement park without being ridiculed by the white populous. He wishes for his fellow African American families to live without violence. He portrays his message using pathos throughout the letter. King incorporates diction when he discusses the differences between just and unjust laws. He says that, Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statues are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality (King 4). Kingrs use of the words degrades, damages, and distort bring an emphasis of negativity that also demonstrates the feelings that King has for the laws in Montgomery. Also, the word statues demonstrate that segregation can never be changed by itself. He is saying that segregation laws will be changed when people step in and make the change happen. His choice of words is important because it gives more description and emotional weight supporting his, and the Negro communityrs, hatred for the unjust laws and enforcement of those laws. It also brings the reader a sense of understanding as to why MLK is protesting and justifies his reasoning for instigating the protests. King implies parallelism to instill a sense of understanding to the reader as to why segregation is a big problem in Birmingham. King expresses that, Hence segregation is not only politically, economically, and sociologically unsound, it is morally wrong and sinful (King 5). The parallelism, used in the sentences, allows the reader to easily comprehend Kingrs argument against segregation. He also applies many adjectives that bring a unique flow to the paragraph. He also mentions sinful in reference to the segregation. This word choice is also effective because it shows that King is a former bishop. Plus, it is directed to the clergymen who wanted to stop him and his protests, in the first place. King finally uses anaphora to express his disappointment with the white populous and how their harsh treatment led the Negro population to start a rebellion. He reasons that, It is unfortunate that protests are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the cityrs white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative (King 1). The beginning of both sentences begins with the same word, unfortunate. This is important because it outlines Kingrs overwhelming disappointment with the circumstances surrounding the protesting, but it also gives the reader a realization that the Negro population has a valid reason to continue to rebel. Plus, the reader will have a feeling of guilt and disappointment in not only the law, but in themselves because they know it is shameful to treat people horribly, especially because they have a different color of skin. In conclusion, Martin Luther King Jr.rs response to the eight clergymen made Kingrs points very clear. It had many uses of literary devices, including those of the rhetoric type. His letter has had a profound impact on history, as well as the civil rights movement. If King didnt write this letter with such passion and energy, then it would have severely hindered the movement entirely.

Diversity Of Diversity At The Workplace - 942 Words

In this week’s integrated article, review, I am focusing on diversity at the workplace. This is a topic very relevant and important for any organizations success. Diversity at the workplace refers to any characteristic that makes people different from one another. Today’s workforce is a diverse mix in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, generational attitudes. It is important for an organization to adopt diversity management practices to bring this diverse mix together into a stable productive unit. The marketplace is more global driven by advances in communication and technology. For many organizations, managing diversity at the work place is an integral part of their culture. Management of diversity makes every employee sensitive to the needs and differences of others. In the first article, â€Å"Diversity management practices do they make a difference†1 a study was conducted on diversity management practices adopted by local governments in recruiting, hiring and retaining a diverse workforce. I found this article interesting because it reviews how diversity is managed from the grassroots level in a government setting.

Empowerment Transforming Power and Powerlessness Free Essays

The precise definition of transformational politics is a never ending issue in the governmental realm.   Consequently, Edward W. Schwerin stresses the idea in a connotation with deliberative state that such is a social and scholarly movement wherein such adherents are sharing an interest towards building a political community basically coherent to norms and other significant details in the concept of empowerment. We will write a custom essay sample on Empowerment: Transforming Power and Powerlessness or any similar topic only for you Order Now Conceivably, these factors that build up the connotation are also based on standards such as cooperation, grassroots democracy, equality, environmental awareness and other demonstrative dynamics which possess the ability to the implications and the answers to how these dynamics are able to gain what tends to be the root on how â€Å"politics† and the people shall actually change or live with political decisions. Obviously, Shwerin’s definition and characterization of empowerment is derived from the philosophical works of Plato as well as with the idea that empowerment is in point of fact dependent on how the individual believes how one can be empowered or be disempowered for that instance. To quote his line with regard to the definition of â€Å"empowerment†Ã¢â‚¬â€the process of gaining mastery over one’s self and one’s environment in order to fulfill human needs (p.81)—perhaps his ideological definition may be correct in the factual basis, but if collaborated with the contemporary scenario, empowerment is not only conquered through an individual’s conception on such idea, but it must also be given by the environment upon which that person who wants to achieve such will be vested in the most holistic sense possible. Further, it would also be taken to assumption that Schwerin’s basis for stressing his views on â€Å"empowerment† are too vague and broad that upon arguing on the aforementioned perspective as a composition of the following: â€Å"self-worth, self-effectiveness, piece of knowledge and of abilities, awareness on the political aspect, and participation on socially and politically inclined events—it may be taken to assumption that he is nevertheless referring on the ideological perspective alone on transformational politics and not barely lingering on the schemes of contemporary deliberation and analysis on empowerment. However, his views on mediation experiences (p.93)—as empowering factors on individuals who participate on the ‘activities’—may be acceptable in further delight.   Specifically, his prediction that mediation trainees shall have personal empowerment is a great ordeal on understanding empowerment and the objective of empowering those who are powerless, per se. On the aspect of â€Å"grouping† and on the mediation strategy towards building a highly empowered group, his research has led him good value worth the critical analysis.   As far as political threshold is concerned, it is indeed realistic to say that mediators possess the higher chance to achieve â€Å"empowerment† rather than those who do not get exposed on the organizational activity—those who are experienced shall have the highest empowerment scores—more experience, greater the chance.   In the classroom basis, a â€Å"group of leaders† will have the highest score of getting â€Å"empowered† than only those who are considered as â€Å"group of mediators†Ã¢â‚¬â€intensive training is effective at teaching recruits (Schwerin, 1995).   Precisely true enough to prove his worth on his research. Levels of personal empowerment may be brought upon by training and the acquisition of knowledge, so to speak.   But the â€Å"real† empowerment comes from experience—dispute resolution, bringing up conflicts to a formal legal system—all these are piously given ample importance in trying to distinguish the definition of â€Å"empowerment.†Ã‚   Hence on personal opinion, empowerment may come from â€Å"own† beliefs but making other people believe that one is capable of such â€Å"high regard† is the best empowering method to be taken into account.

Womens Rights Essays (784 words) - American Quakers,

Womens Rights Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffragesupporters lectured, wrote, marched and disobeyed many rules to change in the Constitution. parades, silence and hunger strikes where used to demonstrate the need for a change in the constitution. Women struggled for their rights ,and they struggled equally to black americans who desired voting rights as well(The Fifteenth Amendment., Susan Banfield pp.11-20). Women had it difficult in the mid-1800s to early 1900s. There was a difference in the treatment of men and women. Married women were legally concidered a property of the man they married in the eyes of the law. Women were not allowed to vote. Married women had no property rights. Women were not allowed to enter professions such as medicine or law. Women had no means to gain an education since no college or university would accept women students. Then the first Women's Rights Convention was held on July 19 and 20 in 1848(Whats Right with America., Dwight Bohmach pp.261). The convention was convened as planned, and over the two-days of discussion, the Declaration of Sentiments and 12 resolutions received agreement endorsement, one by one, with a few amendments(http://www.nara.gov/education/teaching/woman/home.html). The only resolution that did not pass unanimously was the call for women's authorization. That women should be allowed to vote in elections was impossible to some. At the convention, debate over the woman's vote was the main concern. Women's Rights Conventions were held on a regular basis from 1850 until the start of the Civil War. Some drew such large crowds that people had to be turned away for lack of meeting space. The women's rights movement of the late 19th century went on to address the wide range of issues talked about at the Seneca Falls Convention. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and women like Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, and Sojourner Truth, who were pioneer theorists, traveled the country lecturing and organizing for the next forty years. Winning the right to vote was the key issue, since the vote would provide the means to accomplish the other reforms. The campaign for woman's right to vote ran across continous opposition that it took 72 years for the women and their male supporters to win (When Hens Crow : the Woman's Rights Movements in Antebellum America pp.66). During the Women's Rights Movement, women faced incredible obstacles to win the American civil right to vote, which was later won in 1920.There were some very important women involved in the Women's Right Movement. Esther Morris, who was the first woman to hold a judicial position, who led the first successful state campaign for woman's right to vote, in 1869(Whats Right with America., Dwight Bohmach pp.260-263). Abigail Scott Duniway, the leader of the successful fight in the early 1900s. Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Mary Church Terrell, arrangers of thousands of African-American women who worked for the right to vote for all women. Anna Howard Shaw and Carrie Chapman Catt, leaders of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in the early years of the 20th century, who got the campaign to its final success. If the suffrage movement had not been so ignored by historians, women like Lucretia Mott, Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul would be as familiar to us as Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, or Martin Luther King, Jr. We would know how men took away the right to vote. We would know how women were betrayed after the Civil War, defeated and often cheated in election after election, and how they were forced to fight for their rights against the opposition, with virtually no financial, legal, or political power of their own. If the history of the suffrage movement was better known, we would understand that democracy, for the first 150 years of our nation's existence, excluded more than half of the population. And we would realize that this situation changed only after one of the most remarkable and successful nonviolent efforts the world has ever seen. The suffragists' nonviolent approach was a logical strategy since a remarkable number of the movement's prominent leaders, including Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul, were Quakers and pacifists. They were committed to peaceful resistance and they were opponents of war and violence. And, they

Japan as a model industrialize essays

Japan as a model industrialize essays With the Japanese economy being viewed as one of the most prominent, industrialized economies in the world, it is vital that one considers all of the requirements of a highly industrialized society, and not base their judgments solely on economic output. Through an analysis of Japans reliance on her government to regulate her economy, it will be established that she cannot compete in the global market. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated that according to Alexander Gerschenkrons theory alluding to industrialization, Japan has not developed in a manner that will allow her to prosper. Lastly, the fact that Japan depends on technological borrowing supports Gerschenkrons theory for late industrializers. When examining all of these aspects as a whole, it is obvious that when referring to Alexander Gerschenkrons theory regarding industrialization, Japan cannot be classified as a model industrialized nation, as she possesses the characteristics of a late industrializer with a weak economic capacity. Japans reliance on her government to regulate both trading practices and business operations reflects unfair protectionism and her inability to compete in the global market. This will be validated through an analysis of the role of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) within Japans economy. Furthermore, an elucidation of a U.S based manufacturers experience in doing business in Japan will reflect protectionism within the nation. Finally, a case study on the automobile industry in Japan will be analyzed, and will portray Japans reliance on her government. When combined this evidence will exemplify the fact that Japan is unable to compete without the influence of her government and therefore cannot be considered an economic power or an industrialized model. The most prominent government influence in Japan is the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), which contro...

20 Creative College Halloween Party Ideas

20 Creative College Halloween Party Ideas Gearing up for Halloween is one of the best parts of fall. If youve let the part planning slide a bit, dont worry. Weve rounded up twenty tips that will let you piece together the perfect party complete with decorations, costume ideas and even help with the nibbles. Set the Scene 1. Have a classic horror movie playing in the background. If youre going for a classic Halloween party vibe, choose a series of scary movies to have playing in the background. Running every installment of Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street is a great way to get people talking and provide the perfect backdrop for Halloween. Keep the volume low and limit it to one TV set – be sure you have music playing elsewhere. 2. A great play list is a work of art. Dont leave setting your music until the last minute. This isnt the time to throw your MP3 collection on shuffle and hope for the best. Comb through your collection and ask friends to chip in as well. Include every Halloween reference you can by including tunes from modern artists like Rob Zombie and the classic rock group the Zombies. 3. Set the table. If youre using one large table for food, cover the top with a black sheet and put striped socks on each leg. Finish the look with old shoes at the bottom of each leg – instant witchs table! 4. Get every room. Make sure every room guests will be in is decorated – including the bathroom. Rolls of crime scene tape, â€Å"bloody† hand prints made with dyed corn syrup and plastic bugs and snakes can all give a room an instantly creepy feel. Costume Themes 5. The Time Travelers – Everyone has to come dressed up as themselves from the last year in junior high. 6. 8-Bit Party – Have your guests dress as their favorite 8-bit character. Extra points for guests who can imitate their characters signature sounds like being able to talk in Q-Bert or beat their chest like Donkey Kong. 7. Still a Better Love Story than Twilight – Have guests come as any two-some they want. Meanwhile team up with a fellow party host (or hosts) to dress as the main characters from Twilight. 8. Rick Astley, LOLCatz and More Cowbell – Guests can dress as their favorite internet meme. 9. Saturday Morning Cartoons – Guests dress up as their favorite character from Saturday Morning cartoons, past or present. Offer special prizes for the oldest character. 10. Fast Forward – Pick your favorite reality show personality and then dress as them 30 years in the future. What will a 40 year old Honey Boo Boo look like? How about a 60 year old Snooki? Take a look at our blog on Halloween costume ideas if you need more ideas! Decorations 11. Hit the local thrift shops. Thrift stores may have some Halloween items, but youre really looking for creepy dolls, half broken toys and clothes that would make a zombie turn around and walk the other way. Remember – one mans trash is another mans nightmare. 12. Fill clear latex gloves with candy and tie the wrists with ribbon. Spread them around the party as handy candy for people to take away with them. 13. Get back in touch with your childhood cutting skills. Take a garbage bag, fold it into a triangle, then again. Cut away panels and then open it – instant (and huge) spider web. 14. Make a massive spider for your new web. Get a foam ball core or just crunch up tin foil. Use foil covered pipe cleaners for the legs. 15. Make glow in the dark balloons. Pick up plain white balloons from a dollar store and put a glow stick inside before you blow them up. Do them right before guests start to arrive so the sticks stay bright throughout the party. Food Ideas 16. Hands in the Punchbowl. Get two rubber gloves and wash the inside really well to get out any powder. Fill with water, freeze then pop out two perfect disembodied hands to keep your punchbowl chilly. 17. Recruit the help of chemistry students. Have your friends bring in beakers and flasks and serve drinks in them instead of glasses or cups. 18. Make Brain cupcakes. Get a frosting bag with a thin tip or just grab an empty ketchup or mustard squeeze bottle. Make cupcakes per normal but ice them with white frosting in thin lines to replicate the look of brains. 19. Fossil Cookies. Make sugar cookies per normal. Press plastic bugs into the top of each cookie, remove then freeze until set (about 30 minutes) Bake as usual and serve. 20. Bleeding Heart Cake. Fill a heart shaped cake tin with opaque pink Jello and let it set. Then fill a plastic bag with corn syrup and red food coloring, strawberry jam or blended berries. Set the bag in the middle of the set cake and fill the tin with another batch of solid pink Jello. Let the whole thing set overnight and then serve.

In what ways are the basic rules of media economics changed by the Essay

In what ways are the basic rules of media economics changed by the 'digital revolution' and in what ways do they remain the same - Essay Example Digital revolution has effected cost reduction by replacing analog into binary representation of ones and zeroes, felicitating multiple generations of copies similar to the original. Digital revolution goes far beyond multimedia applications of storing all information in a binary digital format. The horizon of digital revolution has expanded to the extent of putting an end to privacy, to quote the example of Walmart labeling all its products with RFID tags, causing worry to the privacy groups. Hoskins, McFadyen and Finn of University of Alberta have very appropriately and forcefully analysed links between media and communication in their book â€Å"Media Economics: Applying Economics to New and Traditional Media. They have reasoned with arguments on questions like the Internet affecting the information-rooted entertainment and cultural products; how is broadcasting generally regulated and often supported, segregating newspaper publishing from it. Media economics rules have taken different moulds as multi-faceted aspects of digital revolution unfold. On the basis of microeconomic principles and concepts, it peeps into media industries to discuss and analyse topics in the resulting media environment. In media industries, demand and supply of products is affected by their variables. When packet switching to circuit networks is employed for the Internet, the economies of scale work to give competitive advantage to US in comparison to other countries and on top of that the mergers of entertainment industry such as Disney’s acquisitions of Miramax and ABC, AT&T’s acquisition of the cable company TCI happen. Digital revolution through the medium of the Internet affects the supply of media goods and services. The time has come when possessing a commercial television-broadcasting license is â€Å"like having a license to print your own money† ï â€ºBraddon, 1965, p. 240ï   Here comes the all-important role of digital technology in affecting the demand of media

African Americans Thesis Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

African Americans - Thesis Example The slave trade was a legal practice in America from the early days of colonialism. By 1877, therefore, a considerable number of Africans had settled in the United States as a result of the slave trade. The blacks who established themselves in the United States by the end of the slave trade intermarried and gave rise to the African Americas. The second significant event within this given timeframe was the world war. In both world wars that ended in 1945, Africans played a central role in the battle for supremacy between nations. African soldiers were trained and deported on battlefields to defend the United States. The world wars were a significant turn of events as many Africans in America died, and those who survived remained with permanent physical and emotional scars. Between 1945 to present, events that took place in African history in the United States included the great second migration. Although it started in 1941, it was a significant all through 1945 to 1970. Africans moved into states like California, where job opportunities were being offered in the defense industry. This movement was in search of employment opportunities and better living conditions. The second event that took place in the United States was the Urban Settlement, where most Africans settled in major cities and towns in the United

Graduation Speech -- Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Congratulations Class of 2012 on reaching this milestone in your life. You have fulfilled a quantifiable set of requirements, but what did you really learn? You learned a little something about quadratic equations, how to write the perfect English essay, or the causes of the Civil War. Our most important lessons, however, cannot be recited or written down and turned in for a grade. These lessons involve friendship, hard work, love, and dedication. None of us is really smart enough to go at it alone. We are educated by every experience we live, every interest we pursue, every book we read, and every person we meet. We learn from our parents, friends, teachers, co-workers, classmates, teammates, coaches, and people, who although we have never met, touch our hearts with their lives. Education is, perhaps, the only wealth that cannot be robbed. It is the bridge between cultures. Knowledge transcends education; it transcends the walls of this school. No matter what the future holds for you, the little things you learn from other people will have the most impact on your life. O...

Seniority plays an indispensable role in the military. Rank is highly important because their efficiency of getting things done depends on fast commands corresponding fast implementation. That is why leadership here is very crucial. One does not easily get promoted or get his own ship to command. Despite the fact that everyone already looks up to you and no matter how worked yourself off, these simply aren’t enough. 1 Like what The Captain said to Lt.Tyler, one has to â€Å"be able to make hard decisions based on imperative information asking men to carry out orders that result to their deaths. † Because the true test of being a soldier-leader is not only willingness to lay his own life on the line for his men, not only his bravery, but his strength to have to lay someone else’s life for the crew, for the mission and then, at the end of the day, having to pay for its consequences. In U-571 (2000), maybe the character that noticeably best depicted being an astound ing leader and, at the same time a follower, is The Chief.Being somewhat a middleman between the new Captain and the crew, during their battle with the Nazis, Chief, in his years in combat, was able to successfully be a good leader and follower whenever the times demanded it of him. Some of the crewmen might have thought that, when The Captain died when the S33 was blown up, The Chief was the one that should take command instead of the much younger Lt. Tyler. Once, a crew member kept saying â€Å"†¦this is crazy, this is crazy†¦ he’s gonna get us killed†¦Ã¢â‚¬  to the idea that Lt. Tyler didn’t want to use the Nazi’s Enigma to radio for help. The Chief said, â€Å"Navy said it’s more important than you, him, me—fine. We’re gonna die trying. That ain’t crazy. That’s our job. † The stubborn crewman responds with â€Å"what I don’t seem to understand Chief, is how come you’re not in-charge. à ¢â‚¬  In the middle of his blabbering on about ____________________ 1. Military Rank. [2004].

Tyler is your commanding officer and you will respect that man as such. † In this particular scene, The Chief was a leader in a sense that he recognizes when a crewman needs some straightening up and, also he is a very good follower in a sense that he defended the superior being insulted at the back. At these moments, he displayed glory when he was effortlessly able to go over the praises, and get down to serious business.His principles are unwavering, unconditional. Attitude such as these give a command consistency and action in highly unfavorable situations such as battlefields. Contrary to conventional point of view, being a follower and a leader seems to be much more of a role pla yed in an interrelated way than a role as played in completely opposite ways. Yes, one cannot be a leader without being a follower and following cannot be without leading. To be able to fully understand one, one has to understand the other, or both will not stand.One cannot exist without the other; they complete each other. In the context of this film, or life in general for that matter, it is impossible to discuss leadership without discussing followership, and vice versa. 2 This concept can be seen in the persona of the Chief. The concept of leadership and followership is healthily embedded in The Chief’s heart and mind, and through this, he is able to contribute significantly to the welfare of the crew and the accomplishment of the mission. If too many soldiers were to lack this, it will â€Å"kill a crew.† Doubt is a given when there are high risks involved. Playing with the lives of men is never easy. There are a lot of gray areas, areas where a soldier is confron ted with dilemmas. The Chief experienced this at 160 meters below water surface. Despite the risks involved The _____________________ 2. Lt Col Sharon M. Latour and Lt Col Vicki J.

If Lt.Tyler made a mistake in his calculations or estimations, they all could’ve drowned when the submarine barely held itself together under the pressure of 200 meters underwater. But they were lucky. What seemed to be wrong turned out to be right. In reality, perhaps it is much harder to choose. A young enlisted officer also came to this situation, where his ability to follow was thinning. Lt. Tyler had to order him to swim under the flooded pipes and tighten those that need tightening so that a torpedo can be launched.Obeying might kill him and not obeying might kill the crew. This time though, it wasn’t as happy an ending as The Chief’s was when he followed orders. The kid drowned. They were able to beat the enemy but they sacrificed a life. There are no clear lines as to which extents will a soldier follow or not. There are no set qualifications as to who must go first. Maybe there never will. But one thing is clear, leading or following, the sake of the crew as a whole must be put first before an individual’s, the country’s first before the self. ____________________1. Lt Col Sharon M.

Schema Theory And Cognitive Development Procedures For...

EDST essay Schema theory and cognitive development Understanding the implications and obstacles of schema theory is integral to the appropriate application of cognitive development procedures for teaching.1 Knowledge acquisition requires that teaching methodologies are chosen with consideration towards differing cognitive and schematic variables 2such as personality typologies,developmental stages and dispositional tendencies .(Altbach, Arnold, King, 2014, p.296) .By looking at a variety of influences a child’s environment and previous experience has on cognitive development we can begin to understand how catering for these differences positively impacts teaching in a diverse classroom.3 As described by (Bruning, R., Kaplan et al. 2011, p.48). Schemata - mental frameworks that we use to organise knowledge4, are fundamental to information processing (Kaplan et al., 2011). For example, a kindergarten class incorporates children from many different backgrounds with many different levels of understandings of education, formal and informal. Some may have been to preschool whilst others may not have experienced any form of structured educational learning before. As such they’re schemata or frameworks for processing new information vary widely from student to student based on their previous experiences 5 When a class first learns how to wash theyre hands, those students from preschool likely already have schemata material for how and why they do this and can beShow MoreRelatedEssay about Cognitive Development of Children1241 Words   |  5 Pagesexplains the cognitive development of children.
