My Field Experiences At The International Newcomer Academy...
As I entered the doors of International Newcomers Academy (INA) for the first time, I can
remember how nervous I felt. I could not help but feel unprepared and I could not fathom how I
could possibly be any help to a student when we did not even speak the same language. However as
quickly as my field experiences began I could feel my perceptions changing. The experiences I had
at INA have left their mark on me and I am truly grateful for having the opportunity to complete my
field experiences at the International Newcomer Academy.
One aspect of INA is the ingenious teaching approaches. Effective teaching requires a multifaceted
approach, this includes utilizing Jensen's seven critical factors. These factors include engagement,
repetition. input quantity, coherence, timing, error correction and emotional states. Each factor is
distinct in its function and implantation. There are numerous benefits to incorporating these seven
critical factors into lessons such as engagement will induce focus and gain the student's attention,
repetition will enable the students to preview, review, and revise the information, input quantity
limits the amount of information resulting in a deeper understanding, coherence builds off the
student's personal experiences and prior knowledge, timing provides for activity shifts and best
suitable scheduling, error correction reinforces the lesson through quality feedback, and emotional
states evokes fundamental emotions to initiate self–reliance and

This is a Robinson projection that is centered at coordinates 80.2072°W and 0°N. Scales are true at
38°N and S and are equal at all corresponding latitudes that are equal distance from equator. I chose
it because it is a good compromise and is easy on the eyes. The amount of distortion is low within
45° of the equator and greater towards the poles.

The standard parallels are 20 and 60 and between these distortion is minimal. This projection would
be particularly good as the base of a poverty map because the size of any area on the map is a true
proportion to its size on the earth. Poverty rate per 10,000 can be displayed in a dot–density map. A
dot–density shows the concentration of a quality in an area. One dot can represent every 10,000
people. The map will not represent the results correctly if the areas are not in true proportion. Also,
if areas are not in the right proportion, countries that are larger will look less dense and countries
that are smaller will look too dense.

Heating Of The Earth Exterior And Atmosphere And...
Heating of the earth exterior and atmosphere and influences patterns of precipitation the sun heats
the air at the equator causing it to expand and rise. Since cool air holds less water vapor than warm
air, the water carried by the rising air mass condenses and forms clouds which produce the heavy
rainfall associated with the tropical environment. Eventually this equatorial air mass began to rise
and spreads north and south. The high altitude air is dry since the moisture it once held fell as a
tropical rainfall. When the air mass flows north and south it cools, which increases more density. It
goes back to the earth's surface at about 30 latitudes and spreads north and south. The air draws
moisture from the lands over which it flows and creates deserts during the process. Temperature is
plotted on the left vertical axis and precipitation on the right vertical axis. Temperature and
precipitation are potted on different scales so 10 C is equivalent to 20 mm of precipitation. Climate
diagrams for areas like the tropical rain forest compress the precipitation scale for precipitation
above 100mm, so that 10C is equivalent to 200mm of precipitation. This will change the scale
rainfall data from very wet climates can be fit on a graph of convenient size. The temperature and
precipitation scales are constructed so that 10C equals 20 mm of precipitation. Precipitation is
mainly to do with the temperature of the air. Slice the tropics are warmer the air holds more
moisture

The Stages Of The Code Runs Through
When PHIL is run it has three distinct stages that the code runs through. First is the initialization
stage. This is where the code that needs to be set up first is run. The next stage is the execution
stage, which is arguably the most important stage. This is where the majority of the code is
executed. Any code in the execution stage is repeated until the user terminates it. The final stage is
the termination stage, where all tasks are stopped and any code which needs to be closed out can be
done safely after user termination. Tasks in PHIL are pieces of code that will need to be executed
repeatedly. The Lua script handles the scheduling, initializing, execution, and termination of these
tasks. Tasks can be anything from the satellite propagation to the sensors. Each task runs according
to how the Lua script has it scheduled and the code will continue to run until the command from the
user is given to terminate the task. Figure 2 shows the architecture of PHIL. This portion of the
reboot was focused on the simulation side and not the flight software side. As these tasks run they
may have data that other tasks need to successfully run. A way of handling the transfer of data from
one task to another is to adopt a Publish and Subscribe System. This system allows for the
transferring of variables without getting in the way of the scheduler and makes sure that all tasks
receive the same data for that given moment of time. For example: The satellite propagation
publishes

Does The State Coordinate System?
The State Plane Coordinate System (SPS or SPCS) is a set of 124 geographic zones or coordinate
systems designed for specific regions of the United States. Each state contains one or more state
plane zones, the boundaries of which usually follow county lines. Multiple state zones are used to
limit distortion errors due to map projections. The system is widely used for geographic data by state
and local governments. Its popularity is due to at least two factors. First, it uses a simple Cartesian
coordinate system to specify locations rather than a more complex spherical coordinate system like
the geographic coordinate system of latitude and longitude. By using the Cartesian coordinate
system 's simple XY coordinates, plane surveying methods can be used, speeding up and simplifying
calculations. Second, the system is highly accurate within each zone (error less than 1:10,000).
Outside a specific state plane zone accuracy rapidly declines, thus the system is not useful for
regional or national mapping. The State Plane system provides a common coordinate reference for
horizontal coordinates over county and multi–county areas while limiting distortion error to
specified maximum values.
Most state plane zones are based on either a transverse Mercator projection or a Lambert conformal
conic projection. The choice between the two map projections is based on the shape of the state and
its zones. States that are long in the east–west direction are typically divided into zones that are

Notes On ' Blue Terms '
DEFINITONS: BLUE TERMS
Albedo
The amount of solar radiation that is reflected by a surface or object. If something has a high Albedo
it reflects more of the Sun's radiation, whereas a low reflection then reflects less. Snow and ice, both
have a high albedo as they both reflect high proportions other Sun's radiation. A couple examples of
a substance having a low albedo would be vegetation (grass or trees) and oceans. Though the albedo
of soils and earth does vary as factor such as cloud cover, snow, ice, leaf cover, and land use affect
how much radiation a surface can reflect from the Sun.

Earth's climate has always been changing, though the change that is being observed now is such a
concern due to certain factors. The thing that is concerning about climate change is the rapid rate at
which it is occurring. Changes in climate are happening at a very fast speed, changes in the past
were dramatic but gradual at the same time, over a time span of thousands of years. Also, the
possibility of climate change to continue at the same speed is very likely as many factors both
natural and human activities affect it.
Although the media often refer to "Global Warming," a more appropriate term is "Global Climate
Change." Why does it matter, and what is the difference?
A more appropriate term for the change we are witnessing in climate is Global Climate Change
rather than Global Warming. The term Global warming means that the climate of the Earth is
increasing in temperature, globally. Yes, the world is getting warmer although there are many factors
that take a part in this change in climate. These factors such as precipitation, and evaporation are all
part of this global change and in order to include all these changes a better term is needed rather
than Global Warming. The term that can be used to modify the understanding of these changes is
"Global Climate Change." Global Climate Change

The Accident Detection Techniques And Its Future...
Abstract–This paper presents review on the accident detection techniques and some future
possibilities in this field. Now–a–days lots of accidents happen on highways due to increase in
traffic and also due to rash driving of the drivers. And in many situations the family members or the
ambulance and police authority is not informed in time. This result in delaying the help reached to
the person suffered due to accident.Road accidents constitute the major part of the accident .The
purpose of the project is to find the vehicle where it is and locate the vehicle by means of sending a
message using a system which is placed inside of vehicle system Most of the times we may not be
able to find accident location because we don't know where accident will happen. Our project Real

The Flight Path From Singapore
3.2 The Haversine formula
The haversine formula is an important equation in navigation, calculating the haversine of the
central angle between two points on a great circle of a sphere using the latitudes and the longitudes
of the two points: sin2 (d2r) = sin2 ( Φ2 – Φ12) + cos (Φ1) cos (Φ2) sin2 ( λ2 – λ12)
where Φ1 and Φ2 denote the latitudes of Singapore and Chicago respectively, and λ1 and λ2 denote
the longitudes of Singapore and Chicago respectively. We can rearrange the haversine formula to
give us the distance d between the two cities.
3.3 The Haversine function
In order to show how the haversine formula is derived, we must first understand the function of the
haversine. The term haversine appears to have originated from "half a versed sine", or "half a
versine". The haversine function is useful as it can calculate the distance of an arc of a great circle.
The flight path from Singapore to Chicago is, in fact, an arc of a great circle.
The versine function is one of many trigonometric functions that were once popular in fields such as
navigation, but now are practically obsolete and are no longer taught in schools. Commonly
abbreviated as versin, the versine function is versin (α) = 1 – cos (α) where α is the variable in the
function. However, this does not seem very useful in the derivation of the haversine formula. We can
manipulate the versine function into a more useful substitution using the half–angle identity sin2
(12α) = [1 – cos (α)] as sin2 (12α)

A keyword (hashtag) used tweets
The best way to separate a tweet's topic into categories and to search for other tweets about these
topics is to use a hashtag. It is necessary to put the pound sign (#) before the word or phrase without
using any spaces or punctuation to create a hashtag. When a hashtag is tweeted, it automatically
becomes a clickable link that if somebody clicks on that, he is directed to a page which includes all
the most recent tweets that contain that specific hashtag. For example, if #newcastleUniversity or
#NewcastleUniversity is typed in the search box at the top of the Twitter page, all tweets under the
newcastleuniversity title are displayed because there is no case sensitivity.
A tweet about using keyword (hashtag) is shown in Figure 17.

Temperature Analysis Of Temperature During The Summer
Temperature Analysis
The expectations I held when first given this assignment are echoed in the conceptual models
presented in the guidance document: locations situated close to the ocean ought to exhibit cooler
temperatures during the summer months while maintaining slightly warmer temperatures during the
winter and that more inland locations should display slightly higher temperatures within the summer
time but lower temperatures during the winter months. This expectation was largely influenced by
the knowledge I have incurred while living in a coastal area: wind and surf carry cooler air to the
coast during the summer while carrying warmer air to land during the winter. Upon reviewing the
recorded temperatures within the six ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As these locations have similar enough latitudes, 27.9 and 28 degrees north respectively, it is
unlikely that the results are skewed. Continuing to follow the notion proposed within the given
conceptual model, the southern stations showed that the inland city of Devil's Garden experienced
substantially colder winters compared to the winter time temperatures seen in Miami Beach.
Encountering an average winter temperature of 51.4 degrees, Devil's Garden is approximately 12
degrees cooler than Miami Beach's average minimum winter temperature of 63.6. These locations,
however, did not exhibit such a large disparity in summer time temperatures with Devil's Garden's
maximum average displayed at approximately 92 degrees and Miami Beach's maximum average
displaying exactly 87 degrees. Upon further investigation, it appears that the discrepancy in average
temperatures between the locations is perhaps caused by a sizable difference in latitudes with Devil's
Garden situated at 38.8 degrees north compared to Miami Beach situated at 25.8 degrees north. This
divergence is the most likely responsible for Miami Beach's high summer temperatures as areas in
lower latitudes often experience warmer weather in addition to the fact that the beach is located
closer to the equator. To compare coastal stations, it is clear that the second conceptual model is
reasonably correct when asserting

What Does The End Product Would Be?
Three months seem to have flown by in the blink of an eye and yet so many things have changed in
that time. We began this project with very little information about what the end product would be
and why we were doing it but we learned a lot along the way.
The purpose of the project was to make us think about what goes on in the sky over time. As it
turned out, I was a slow starter. I work full–time and my regular lunch hour is from noon until one o
'clock, therefore making observations at 1:15 p.m. during the beginning of our semester was nearly
impossible for me. However, over time my mindset and my methods changed and I eventually got
smart and set an alarm on my phone to remind me to make the observations. As the old saying goes

In addition to the shadow getting longer, the declination (or altitude) also changed during the course
of our project. Beginning at approximately eleven degrees way back at the end of August and
decreasing over time until the end of November when we see the declination at approximately
negative twenty degrees. However, I also noticed a variance in the given data from my data of about
three to four degrees. My calculations were taken in York and the given calculations were taken in
Harrisburg. A question that I would have is whether the small distance and subsequent change in
latitude between the observation points would explain the difference in declination or not.
The graph of the altitude measurements or declination is very helpful at showing
the steady decrease in the altitude of the Sun during the course of the project. My personal
observations were not as clearly defined, however, when placing them on the graph with the given
observations, the whole picture is clear.
The graph of the percentage change in declination did not turn out quite as well for
me. The calculations that I did with the given observations graphed quite nicely and stayed
relatively in a line. Then I added my own observations and they pretty much went all over the graph.
Based on feedback that I received earlier in the semester, I realize that some of my observations
were not coming out correctly, so this may have

Boston Graph Lab Report
The angle at which sunlight strikes the ground causes the seasons. Earth does not have an axis that is
straight up and down, its axis is tilted 23.5°. When Earth revolves around the sun, the way the
sunlight hits earth causes some places to be colder when they are tilted away from the sun, while
other places are warmer because they are tilted towards the sun. An example of this is our Boston/
San Carlos data lab. In this lab, we looked at the weather for Boston and San Carlos de Bariloche.
The reason we chose San Carlos is because it is our exact latitude opposite, being 29° South and
Boston being 29° North. As Boston was proceeding into winter, San Carlos was proceeding to
summer. This is because of Earth's tilt. San Carlos is tilted towards ... Show more content on

What we put two heat probes on a globe and set it in front of a heat lamp. One probe was where San
Carlos is, and the other is where Boston is. Data was collected every 15 seconds for 8 minutes. The
first graph below shows this data. San Carlos has a much larger temperature increase, reaching 34°C
while Boston only reaches 28°C. Because the globe was tilted, much like the earth, San Carlos got
more sunlight and heat, so it had a higher temperature. The last thing done was making a graph from
given data. The second graph below shows colored lines that represent dates. In this case, the earlier
in the year the date is, the more sunlight there is. June 22nd is the northern hemisphere's summer
solstice, or the longest day of the year. On this day, the northern hemisphere is tilted the farthest
towards the sun, making the day the longest and the hottest. For the southern hemisphere, this is the
shortest day of the year because they are tilted away from the sun. On September 21st, or the
Autumn equinox, the day's length is the same as the night's length. On December 21st, it was the
northern hemisphere's Winter solstice, which is also the southern hemisphere's summer

The reasons for this, is that it has a variety of recreations you can choose from, it would be an
interesting change to move from Stouffville to Quebec City, because people there would be speaking

Quebec City is like exploring a whole different world. To start off, having a variety of different
recreational activities to choose from is a pull factor to me because most of the recreations that I
would enjoy doing is outdoors among nature, and I love to be outdoors. Some of the recreational
activities that appeal to me are hiking and biking trails, cafes especially when I can walk to them,
and of course shopping and looking at all the boutiques in the old French village. Secondly, it would
be such an adventure to move from a big English speaking area like Stouffville and the GTA and
move to Quebec City where almost majority of the population speaks French, and the whole
atmosphere of the city would be different. Instead of tall industrial buildings, there would be a lot
more rustic architectural buildings. Finally, living in Quebec City would be a whole new adventure;
there will be new people to meet, a different way of living, lots more tourist attractions and outdoor
activities right there in your grasp without even having to leave the city. So, to conclude, yes I
would consider living in Quebec City if the option ever arises, because

Importance Of Measuring Meridian Arcs Essay
The completion of the survey of a great chain of first order triangulation's along the arc of the 30th
meridian of east longitude, from South Africa to Egypt, is considered one of the most exceptional
surveying feats to ever be executed in Africa and thus its history has interested geodetic surveyors
throughout the world. This paper aims to expatiate on the importance of measuring meridian arcs,
the need to establish a geodetic survey in a country or continent and subsequently will recount the
sequence of events that led to the 75 year length completion of the African arc.
The size and shape of the Earth have been of interest to man since the earliest of times, dating as far
back to Eratosthenes in the third century. Throughout the years during the 18th and 19th century,
geodesists were pre–occupied with the task of devising a more accurate determination of the size
and shape of the Earth. This led to the observing of necessary triangulations along arcs to determine
the radius of the Earth and its degree of flattening (MacDonald, 2000). The African arc, conceived
by Sir David Gill, Her Majesty 's Astronomer at Cape Town, was created with the understanding that
it would contribute immensely to the better knowledge of the form and dimensions on the Earth
(Smith, 2006) therefore adding value to the advancement of geodesy. However, besides the need to
determine more accurate dimensions for the Earth (Hendriks, 1955), there was a pressing need to
establish a reliable and

Aliens Built the Pyramids
Aliens built the Egyptian pyramids. Recent research supports the theory that the Pyramids were built
long before humans inhabited the area now known as Egypt. It is also nearly impossible for the
Egyptians to have lifted and moved the limestone brick used to build these massive structures. Only
a more advanced form of life could have constructed such an enormous undertaking, while using
advanced mathematics and geography that were not yet known to ancient peoples. Archeologists
suggest that the large stones used in building the pyramids were transported by rolling them over
logs or a wet, slippery, clay surface. These methods may have been effective in moving the blocks
close to the building site, but do not explain how the massive ... Show more content on

8.3 The Sun Powers Earth`s Climate System Homework – Thursday 09/06/12 pg. 329 #1–6
1. Explain how the ocean interacts with the Sun's radiation.
The ocean interacts with the Sun's radiation by reflecting and absorbing the Sun's radiation. I think
the ocean absorbs the radiation because depending on the season the area by the mass of water is
about 1°C or 2°C difference in temperature proving the ocean does absorb the Sun's radiation.
Although it absorbs heat I also thing the ocean has a medium albedo. The ocean is light
coloured/clear, and is a different form of ice which has the highest albedo. Therefore the ocean
interacts with the Sun's radiation by reflecting and absorbing the heat energy.
2. The amount of energy ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
4. A) Describe what happens to the Sun's energy once it reaches Earth.
Once the Sun's energy reaches Earth it is either absorbed by something or reflected. Objects which
absorb the energy convert it into heat. Some objects like green plants take some of the energy and
convert it into a stored form of energy such as sugars. This absorbed energy is what ultimately
drives the climate. If the energy is not absorbed it's then reflected back into the atmosphere. This is
what happens to the Sun's energy once it reaches Earth.
B) Describe what happens to the energy Earth emits.
The energy absorbed by the Earth's surface affects the temperature by increasing; this is known as
thermal energy, the energy present in the motion of particles at a particular temperature. After the
energy is absorbed the Earth then emits mostly lower–energy infrared radiation back out.
5. A) What would you expect to happen to the temperature on Earth if the amount of energy radiated
by Earth increased but the amount coming from the Sun stayed the same?
I would expect that the Earth's temperature would drop to a cold environment. I think this because if
Earth began to radiate more energy than the average amount of energy on Earth would drop, because
the Sun's radiation would stay the same. The amount of energy we constantly have is proper for a
sustainable environment for all living things; if Earth began to release more energy than what

Use Of Bearings And Its Impact On Society
The use of bearings has been emerging in the society for a few years now. It is a lot more common
to see people use bearings to find angles and work out where an object or area might be located. The
use of a compass is also key in finding bearings as the compass shows the true north and from there
the bearing of a point from another point can be calculated. It is key to always begin facing north is
the bearing calculated is to be found in the true north format. The use of the Geographic Coordinate
System is also a common use in society, this system uses two sets of numbers (longitude and
latitude) to locate and identify every single spot of the Earth to a certain extent of decimal places.
This is the most commonly used system to plot the coordinates of a place on Earth, it is also the
most accurate system known to humanity.
The purpose of this investigation is to use bearings in everyday life. gain a deeper understanding of
bearings and see a few examples of how bearings are used in daily life will be explored as a
demonstration. The aim of this investigation was to be able to determine where a spot is located in
comparison to another through the use of bearings and geographic coordinates. Once this
investigation is complete it is expected to be able to use bearings to determine the location of
another point from the base point and draw a reasonably accurate diagram of where that point lays.
Also it is expected to be able to use bearings to connect three points and work out

General Circulation
General Circulation
Warm air rises and cool air sinks, or subsides. If the Earth had no continents and did not turn, then
the circulation of the atmosphere would appear much like this.
[pic] http://maritime.haifa.ac.il/departm/lessons/ocean/lect14.htm The air at the Equator would be
heated by the warm Earth and so rise, flow toward the poles where it is cooled by the cold Earth,
subside at the North Pole and South Pole, and then flow back to the Equator along the surface of the
Earth.
But the Earth does have continents and it does spin on its axis, so the "General Circulation" of the
atmosphere actually looks more like the images on the next page. These are sometimes referred to as
the three–cell general circulation model. Air ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The winds in this region are called the tropical easterlies. In the Northern Hemisphere, these are
called the "Northeast Trade Winds," and in the Southern Hemisphere, they are called the "Southeast
Trade Winds." A band of generally high pressure near 30( North and South of the Equator is called
the Subtropical High.
The band of high pressure near 30( latitude is also called the Horse Latitudes. The name Horse
Latitudes is thought to have originated in the seventeenth century, when sailing ships were carrying
cargos of horses to the West Indies. With high pressure and good weather, the ships could be
stranded for days or weeks without winds to propel them toward their destination. Horses died for
lack of food and water waiting for winds to move the ships.
The middle latitude prevailing westerly cells are called the Ferrel Cell. It is named after William
Ferrel, and American scientist who published his "Essay on the Winds and Currents of the Ocean" in
1856. In this essay and later papers, he showed by rigorous mathematics that winds are affected by
the rotation of the Earth.
The cells near the North Pole and South Pole, in which the winds are mostly from the east, are
called the Polar Cell. The winds are called the polar easterlies. A band of generally low pressure
between the Ferrel Cell and the Polar Cell in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern
Hemisphere is

Aliens Built the Pyramids
Aliens built the Egyptian pyramids. Recent research supports the theory that the Pyramids were built
long before humans inhabited the area now known as Egypt. It is also nearly impossible for the
Egyptians to have lifted and moved the limestone brick used to build these massive structures. Only
a more advanced form of life could have constructed such an enormous undertaking, while using
advanced mathematics and geography that were not yet known to ancient peoples.
Archeologists suggest that the large stones used in building the pyramids were transported by rolling
them over logs or a wet, slippery, clay surface. These methods may have been effective in moving
the blocks close to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The ancient Egyptians could not have known this intersection when the architect designed the
pyramids, yet the site chosen has the same number latitude and longitude. It was aliens, after
studying the planet from afar, who implemented temples on this exact site.
With 757 foot sides, the largest pyramid at Giza would have been difficult to design with a perfect
square base, and yet the base is almost perfect and the difference in side length is only a mere two
centimeters. This is an amazing feat for any modern culture, but an impossible one for an ancient
culture without the mechanical tools and mathematical knowledge that the aliens had. The aliens
used their mathematical genius to work when they created the pyramids. If you take the perimeter of
the Great Pyramid, and divide it by two times the height, you get a number that is exactly equivalent
to the number Pi, up to the fifteenth digit. It was a number not calculated accurately to the fourth
digit until the 6th century. Because of this knowledge, there is no way the Egyptians built the
pyramids.
According to art historians, the Great Pyramids at Giza were built sometime between 2601 and 2515
bc. These dates are provided in traditional art history textbooks as being relatively accurate;
however, the pyramids, through recent discoveries about the constellation, Orion, are

As we can see from the figure "Fig 2" that there are 4 psychosocial categories of work and they have
been discussed as below:
High strain jobs – (Low Latitude, High Strain) – In this condition, employees like to take on highly
complex tasks which they find difficult to manage. This is done for various reasons like their
disposition towards appreciation. They take the high strain jobs without asking for additional control
and thus overlook opportunities. Due to this they tend to obtain the skill to succeed and thrive in the
high strain jobs.
Passive Jobs (Low Latitude, Low Strain): This condition includes Low Demand for the work and
low control over the assigned work. Normally the passivity causes delay in work, which is neither
relevant nor of any importance.
Active Jobs (High Latitude, High Strain): As shown in the figure, employees tend to be strained by
the overload in the work assigned. This is compensated by high control over the work. The control is
generally given to employees to complete the demanding task, otherwise employees (highly active
and aware) ask for the control. This help in countering the stress levels as there is sense of
satisfaction in having the control over the work the employees

GEOGRAPHIC CENTER OF THE UNITED STATES
MATH 166
Ian Gilley, Kelvin Brandl, Kayla Muehlhauser, Nathan Koehler, Justin Ebnet, Kylie Bentz Our
method for determining the center of mass of each state is split up into five steps. The first two, file
conversion and sorting, gave a huge amount of raw data, and then condensed it into a workable
form. The third step converted latitude and longitude coordinates into kilometers. The fourth step
took the trapezoids formed by the previous steps and calculated their moments with respect to the x
and y axis's. Finally, the conversions were reversed to give the center of mass. All of the states were
downloaded as shapefiles from the National Boundary Dataset maintained by the USGS. Then then
the .shp files were converted to .kmz with ArcMap10.4, and then converted to .kml with Google
Earth. Then the approximately 30,000 latitude and longitude coordinates for each state were saved
as a .txt file and imported into Excel. The shapefiles gave a coordinate approximately every 400
meters along straight edges of states, and approximately every 200 meters along rivers and other
curved features, and went out to the eighth decimal place. The territorial seas of costal states which
extend three nautical miles out from the low water mark, and the state boundaries that extend into
the Great Lakes and other bodies of water were included in the laminar sheet. Small islands such as

5 Themes Of Geography Study Guide
5 Themes of Geography
The 5 themes of geography are location, place, movement, interaction and region. Location tells you
where a place is. Place shows you what it's like when you get there. Movement helps people and
ideas get around. Interaction is what the people do to the environment and what the land does for the
people. Region is what cultures have in common.
Location tells us where a place is on a map which could tell us about the resources that place has.
There are two types of location relative and absolute. Absolution location tells you the exact
longitude and latitude of a place. Relative location is where a place is in relation to another place.
For example the absolute location of hawaii is 21.3114* N and 157.7694* W. A example

Geography : The Five Themes Of Geography
What is geography, and why do we study it?
Geography is the study of the physical features of the Earth and its atmosphere, and of human
activity as it affects and is affected by these, including the distribution of populations and resources,
land use, and industries. We study Geography to understand basic physical systems that affect
everyday life. Also, to understand the geography of past times and how geography has played
important roles in the evolution of people, their ideas, places and environment. Geography is a very
important link between the natural and social sciences. There are five themes of geography.

Humans have adapted to the environment so well that it has allowed us to dominate all other species
on Earth. We (Humans) have also achieved what no other species have been capable of doing.
Adjusting the planet to attain our goals in living. Human/Environmental interactions has three
different aspects, dependency, adaptation, and modification. Dependency shows how we depend or
rely on our resources and nature of living. Adaptation is how we modify ourselves to fit in new
environments with new challenges. Modification, not only is it the last aspect, it is the most
important. Modification has helped us a lot but also hurt us a lot too. An example of how
modification has helped us would be, creating air conditioners and heaters to control the temperature
of our environment. An example of how modification has hurt us would be, global warming and
climate change, pollution, and mass extinction of wild species, all of these triggered by the human
race.
The fourth theme of geography is Place. Place describes the features that make a site unique. It
refers to the physical and human aspects of a location, It is associated with toponym, site, and
situation. Each continent, island, place, has its own unique features. Human characteristics of a
place are defined by the nature and size of its human population, the distinct human cultures, their
way of life. We name places, so we know where we are going, and

So, to convert location address into longitude and latitude coordinates, there is a number of ways to
accomplish this. You may have a GPS device which shows you these coordinates, and you could just
take a reading from the GPS while at the address and note down the coordinates. There are also a
number of software packages out there which provide this conversion, but you don't particularly
need to buy one of those geocoders unless you need to geocode a large number of addresses.
(Digital Maps API also provides geocoding of this sort, although it may not be as user–friendly to
those unfamiliar with programming, and the service limits you to a certain number of requests per
time period.)
About Mnemonics: Mnemonic devices are useful memory aids that can be applied to many different
aspects of daily life. There are always certain tidbits of information that people just can't seem to
remember in the form they are presented. People rely on mnemonics when they create some
association between that information they wish to remember and other concepts that they already
know, or find easier to remember. The use of mnemonics has also been shown to be of significant
value in the field of education. Manalo has shown that instruction using a specific type of
mnemonics known as "process mnemonics" produced improvements of mathematical ability in
students classified as learning disabled [3].Process mnemonics are used

of Physical Geology at Wharton County Junior College
Prof. Dale Pinson
Introduction When we look at the world map with its established deserts, then we notice that all the
big deserts are arranged (with little deviance) along two belts around the globe (Figure1). These two
belts are in the areas of around 20–30 degrees of latitude north and south of the equator – the so–
called Horse Latitudes. In the northern hemisphere we have the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts in
North America, the Sahara in North Africa, the Arabian Desert on the Arabian Peninsula, the
Turkestan, Dasht–E–Lut, Thar, Taklan Makan, and the Gobi Deserts in Asia. In the southern
hemisphere there are the Sechura and Atacama Deserts in South America, the Kalahari and Namib in
South Africa, and the Australian Desert.
Hypothesis
Why are the deserts on Earth so neatly aligned? The large majority of water in the air originates
from evaporation of ocean water. This water is transported through air in form of clouds and mist.
Desertification requires aridity, therefore areas with significantly less precipitation are predisposed
to turn into deserts. Several factors are responsible to create this necessary aridity along the Horse
Latitudes at around 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Around 60 degrees north and south
the most precipitation occurs and at

Guns Germs And Steel Analysis
Author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond, explains why Eurasians were the peoples to
conquer and or exploit present day, less developed countries. The prologue of the book introduces
the first exchange between local New Guinean politician, Yali, and Jared Diamond that took place
twenty–five years before publishing Guns, Germs, and Steel. Yali then expresses a puzzling question
regarding different peoples' progression and chronological events leading up to the exploitation and
colonization of other countries, "Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and
brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own"(Diamond, 14). In
response to Yali's question, Diamond makes known that there are obvious answers: "...the rise of
capitalism, mercantilism, scientific inquiry, technology, and nasty germs that killed peoples of other
continents..." (Diamond, 10), but unfortunately these answers are classified as proximate causes, not
an ultimate elucidation. Diamond explores the idea as to how these components of colonization and
world domination arose in western Eurasia rather than in another world region. Diamond's four
ultimate causes follow a 19th –20th century approach on human behavior and development called
environmental determinism; Environmental determinism claims that the physical environment
caused human activities and development. Diamond sees animal and plant availability as certain
world regions' head start or an ultimate cause

very powerful tool that matches addresses found, to actual, real, precise locations found in the
reference data. The choice of the reference data is essential in the success of the geocoding. It will
affect the accuracy of your results. The most important aspect of the process of geocoding is having
three components. They are the address table, reference data and an address locator. The address
locator is created by have a reference file and a locator style. With geocoding you can display the
address location using the address locator, which is usually a point feature. Once this is
accomplished, the address elements (address name) can be compared against the elements in the
reference file. The geocoding process will construct a table with all matches, un–matches and the

Australia has extreme heat and dust that makes their climate hot too. Cold – Within the United
States, Alaska, and most of the northern states are known to very cold during the winters, and
become less traveled and not as preferred as the warmer climates. Outside the United States,
Canada, and Greenland have very cold winters. In Greenland they may never see summer.
Conclusion Hot and cold are very different types of weather. They can adjust to both as long as they
are not extreme. The difference is that they can only cool themself down inside where there are air–
conditioning systems in the extreme heat. As long as they are prepared, with the right clothing, they
can stay outside. Both climates require hydration, but it becomes magnified in the heat. My
preference is the cold. I can always put more clothing on to keep warm, but I will not be doing any
exercising in it. I could not do them in the heat anyway. The heat just makes me feel like not doing
anything. I enjoy the cold weather sports, maybe because as I mentioned, the heat makes one lazy.
Living in a hot climate may be the reasons for my preference.

Assynt Geography
Assynt is a region in the south–west of Sutherland, a county in the Highlands of Scotland. It is
characterised by water logged grasslands on much of the landscape, as well as large rocky
mountains dominating the sky. To the east of the northern road, there is a zone of imbricates created
by the sole thrust, indicating beginning of the Moine thrust complex. This sole thrust is also visible
around the Skiag bridge area and also by Ardveck castle. The area has been of particular interest for
geologists since the early 20th century, due to the wide range of rocks and processes that are present.
For example, the ages of the rocks in the area vary from Lewisian Gneiss of Archean age, all the
way up to the relatively recent Ordovician Durness limestone group, covering a vast portion of our
planets history. The more recent formations are not found within the mapping area, and are more
prominent in the east, and the Durness limestones have a much larger area of outcrops in the north,
surrounding the village of Durness along the coast. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Similarly, the peaks of Quinag rise high above the area at up to 808m. As the area is in Scotland, and
therefore high latitudes, it was likely to have been affected greatly by the ice ages that have occurred

landscape that we see today, creating glacial till deposits and U–shaped valleys that can be seen
throughout the majority of northern Great

The Stages Of Phil Runs
When PHIL runs, it has three distinct stages that the code runs through. First is the initialization
stage. This is where the code that needs to be set–up first runs. The next stage is the execution stage,
which is arguably the most important stage. This is where the majority of the code executes. Any
code in the execution stage repeats until the user terminates it. The final stage is the termination
stage, which happens after the user terminates the execution stage. This is where all tasks stop and
any code which needs to complete, can do so safely. Tasks in PHIL are pieces of code that will
execute repeatedly. Tasks can be anything from the satellite propagation to the sensors. The Lua
script handles the scheduling, initializing, execution, and termination of these tasks. Each task runs
according to how the Lua script has it scheduled and the code will continue to run until the user
gives the command to terminate the task. Figure 2 shows the architecture of PHIL. This portion of
the reboot focuses on the simulation side and not the flight software side. As these tasks run, they
may have data that other tasks require to successfully run. A way of handling this transfer of data
from one task to another is to adopt a Publish and Subscribe System. This system allows for the
transferring of variables without getting in the way of the scheduler and makes sure that all tasks
receive the same data for that given moment of time. For example: The satellite propagation

correlated a mean score of 3.24 with a standard deviation of 2.77. This demonstrates that just over
70% of those who participated in the Warm control group returned positive responses with both
standard deviations within an acceptable level of around 2.8. This is clear evidence that the inclusion
of the central trait independent variable of Warm did significantly influence the dependant variable
outcome in favour of positive comments thus collaborating Asch's hypothesis.
