at the youth generally talk about the 'cool quotient' of the product and how it is going to be the next 'in-thing'. And if you want to stay ahead of the game, it is absolutely vital that you procure it. The visual effect, seeing the things happen in front of you and the slice-of-life effect makes them look a lot believable than they should be. So how should mass media be used with youth? Mass media, effective as it is, can be used on the youth to drive home pressing concerns in the country. Child obesity, the dangers of alcohol and preteen sexual relations, importance of exercise and fitness etc. If these things can be done, the mass media will be able to influence the youth for the better and send better messages for the development of the youth than what it is sending today. Mass Media Influence on Adults Like children and youth, mass media influences adults too, although perhaps not on the same scale. Most adults with a platonic view of things will resist the temptation of
Education Education is so multifaceted that it is difficult for me to know where to begin discussing it, or how to prioritize the many factors. Relaying my own experience is easy: I had a standard classroom approach, supplemented by inordinate reading. In only the briefest and least memorable instances did I receive any individual tutoring. Education is commonly thought of as the job of schools. Adults cry "educate our children!" Everyone has opinions about the best way to do the job. It is of urgent importance, and all the numerous factors are much studied, debated, and new (or old) ideas continually tested or retested. Some people say "it's as simple as . . . " and then name their pet peeve or passion. My view is not of an education specialist, but of one who loves sharing what I learn, and owes much to educators
Psychology Gleitman Blood flow in the brain during different activities: the rate of blood flow is measured by special radiation counters that are placed at various points of the skull and that monitor radiation from mildly radioactive gas injected into the bloodstream. Blood flow pattern depends on what the patient does ( different pattern is found when person is reading aloud, yet another when he watches a moving light and so on). Ambiguous sights and sounds: The way ambiguous figures are perceived often depends on what we have seen just before. For example, if we are first shown an unambiguous figure of a rat, the ambiguous picture will be seen as a rat. If we are first exposed to an unambiguous face, we see the ambiguous figure as a face. What holds for visual patterns also holds for language. Many utterances are ambiguous. If presented out of context, they can be undestrood in several different ways. For example, ,,The mayor ordered the police to stop drink
.........................10 2 Introduction This chapter documents the advent and rise of automated essay scoring (AES) as a means of both assessment and instruction. The first section discusses what AES is, how it works, and who the major purveyors of the technology are. The second section describes outgrowths of the technology as it applies to on-going projects in measurement and education. In 1973, the late Ellis Page and colleagues at the University of Connecticut programmed the first successful automated essay scoring engine, "Project Essay Grade (PEG)" (1973). The technology was foretold some six years earlier in a landmark Phi Delta Kappan article entitled, "The Imminence of Grading Essays by Computer" (Page, 1966). At the time the article was provocative and a bit outrageous, though in hindsight, it can only be deemed prophetic
a Discourse of Forest Trees, a scientific disquisition on the art of arboriculture and the cultivation of the informal garden. Evelyn’s diary covers the period of 1620-1706, from the reign of James I to that of Queen Anne. The first part of the diary was an account of his family, his youth, and an educational tour across Western Europe during the time of the Civil War was written retrospectively in 1660. The second part dates from the early 1680s, and only the third part, dealing with the years from 1684 onwards, is actually a contemporary diary. (Sanders, pp. 239- 242) 11. 17th century religious prose (Donne, Andrewes, Bunyan) John Donne delivered his sermons in a way that was quite focused on helping the listener visualize, while also relaying important information. Donne used plenty of metaphors, in accordance with the vivid imagery that describes his general work. His work is witty, intelligent,
SSRI-s, that block serotonin reuptake when it is in the synapse, causing it to act for a longer time than normal and increasing the available serotonin that is needed for mood regulation. Using one or more examples, explain functions of two hormones in human behavior. Oxytocin is a hormone that is produced by the hypothalamus after being stimulated by the pituitary gland. It is released with touches and hugs. Oxytocin is associated with bonding between a mother and a child and as well as between lovers. If oxytocin is given to healthy individuals, it seems that their brain circuits involved in fear are affected and there is an increase in trust and generosity. The production of melatonin by the pineal gland is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light. Melatonin levels peak in the middle of the night and decrease towards the morning. As the days get darker, we become tired more early. The use of artificial light can increase the awake time dramatically
against the Unified Modeling Language (UML) several years ago in the race to become the industry standard notation? •The OML was superior in many respects to the UML, but it unfortunately didn't garner the market mindshare that the UML did. •It is possible that once again the best candidate will be out marketed by the second best, which more often than not is the norm in our industry. 9. RUP— THE APPROACH The Spirit of the RUP – Essential Principles – Attack major risks early and continuously…or they will attack you – Ensure that you deliver value to your customer – Stay focused on executable software – Accommodate change early in the project – Baseline an executable architecture early on – Build your system with components – Make quality a way of life, not an afterthought The Iterative Approach • It accommodates changing requirements • Integration is not one "big bang" at the end of a project
