This document provides a summary of environmental attitudes and human impacts on the environment from prehistoric times through the early industrial revolution. It discusses early evidence of humans using fire to clear forests in Africa 300,000 years ago and systematic deforestation in Mesopotamia by 7000 BCE. It then outlines various civilizations and their impacts through soil erosion, including the collapse of some central American city-states between 1500-1200 BCE due to growth and erosion. The document continues discussing attitudes, laws, and impacts in various cultures up until the beginnings of the industrial revolution.
This document discusses history, science, and trade. It summarizes that history is based on primary and secondary sources and must meet three factors: reliable witness, logical possibility, and observable causes and effects. It then discusses the migration patterns of early humans out of Africa around 60,000 years ago and their colonization of Asia, Australia, and North America. It also summarizes how scientists used ice cores, tree rings, and carbon dating to determine that a large volcanic eruption around 535 AD caused global cooling and catastrophe.
This document provides a timeline of key events in environmental history from ancient times to present day. It covers topics like early pollution, conservation efforts beginning in the 1800s with individuals like John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt, major pollution events in the 1900s that sparked environmental laws, and some recent global disasters. The timeline shows how environmental issues have long plagued human civilization but also how awareness and action have grown over time, from the first national parks to modern international agreements on climate change.
1. The document discusses how historical events are interconnected and can have unintended consequences. For example, Columbus' voyage hoping to establish trade routes led to large migrations from Europe to the Americas.
2. Environmental factors like climate changes and diseases spreading from introduced livestock had devastating impacts on civilizations, with some evidence suggesting a volcanic eruption in the 6th century contributed to the fall of Rome and disease wiping out large native populations in the Americas.
3. The potato became a staple crop in Europe, especially Ireland, helping populations survive famine after being introduced from the Americas.

2. Volcanic eruptions in the 6th century disrupted climate patterns in Europe, which may have contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire.
3. When European settlers arrived in the Americas, they found many abandoned villages that had likely been depopulated by disease epidemics that killed large numbers of native peoples who lacked immunity. This dramatically altered the settlement of the Americas.
This document provides an overview of big history from the origins of humans in Africa to modern world trade. It summarizes theories about human migration patterns out of Africa based on genetic and archaeological evidence. Major points of discussion include the catastrophes caused by volcanic eruptions in the 6th century CE, Jared Diamond's theory about advantages of certain civilizations due to geography and domesticable plants/animals, and the massive exchange of people, goods and diseases between the old and new worlds beginning in the 15th century.
The document summarizes information from several documentary sources about human migration and civilization. It describes how modern genetic evidence traces all humans back to a small tribe in Africa around 50,000 years ago, and how descendants from this tribe migrated throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas over thousands of years. It also discusses the impact of climate change on human history, as well as evidence that advanced civilizations existed along the Amazon River in South America over 1,500 years ago.
The document summarizes information from several documentary sources about human migration and the state of the world in 1492. It describes how genetic evidence traces all humans today back to a small tribe in Africa that was forced to migrate 50,000 years ago due to climate change. It then discusses the two major waves of human migration out of Africa across Asia, Europe and the Americas over 35,000 years. Finally, it provides an overview of the major civilizations, religions and political structures that existed in different regions of the world in 1492.

Finally, it examines how geography advantage some regions like Europe and Asia in terms of agriculture and trade over other parts of the world.
Spencer Wells traces the journey of early humans out of Africa through DNA evidence. He finds that 10% of humans took a route to Australia, while 90% migrated through Asia to Europe, China, and eventually the Americas over 50,000 years. David Keys investigates natural disasters throughout history that caused plagues and climate change, including a volcanic eruption in 535 AD. Christopher Columbus' voyages led to the Columbian Exchange between the Old World and New World, including crops like wheat, potatoes, sugar cane, and the introduction of horses and cattle to the Americas.
Prehistory began 3 million years ago and lasted until 3000 BC. During this time, humans were hunter-gatherers and began using tools like fire. The Stone Age followed, divided into the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras. In the Neolithic, humans transitioned to agriculture and permanent settlements. The Metal Ages saw the rise of copper, bronze and iron tools. Writing emerged around 3000 BC, marking the beginning of ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece and Rome, which established governments, trade and important constructions. The Middle Ages in Europe lasted from 400-1500 AD between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance, defined by a feudal system and conflicts like the Crusades.

The document outlines a timeline of major events in the development of life on Earth from its formation 4.6 billion years ago to the present. It describes how the Earth cooled and developed a crust 3.7 billion years ago, when the first life forms of single-celled organisms emerged in the oceans around 3.5 billion years ago. Multicellular organisms first appeared around 1 billion years ago. Around 250 million years ago, a mass extinction event killed 90% of life on Earth. Dinosaurs became dominant until an asteroid impact led to their extinction 65 million years ago. Early humans emerged around 3.5 million years ago and modern humans around 200,000 years ago. Permanent settlements developed around 10,000 years ago
The document discusses the interrelated topics of history, science, trade, natural disasters, and disease. It notes that advances in science and technology have helped explain some historical mysteries. Natural disasters like volcanic eruptions in the 6th century lowered global temperatures and allowed diseases like the plague to spread, impacting populations and civilizations. Trade brought goods, food, and diseases between different parts of the world, connecting communities but also causing issues like slavery and opium addiction resulting from trade imbalances. Overall, the document examines how science, the environment, and trade have all shaped historical events and populations over time.
The document discusses the evolution of human culture and technology over time. It describes several key periods in human prehistory and history, including the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age), Neolithic Revolution, Bronze Age, Iron Age, and the rise of democracy in Athens. During these periods, humans developed new tools and technologies like language, agriculture, metallurgy, cities, and forms of government. Overall, the document traces the major developments that have occurred in human material culture, social organization, and ways of life from early hominins to modern civilization.
The Stone Age was the longest period in human history, spanning from around 3.3 million years ago until the introduction of metal tools. During this time, early humans used only stone tools and lived nomadic lifestyles as hunter-gatherers. The Modern Age began in the early 20th century after World War I and saw rapid technological advancement including the development of modern weapons, tanks, airplanes, and nuclear weapons. This period marked humanity's transition to a more technical global society.
1. The document describes early human history from the Stone Age to the rise of early civilizations. It discusses key developments like the agricultural revolution and domestication of plants and animals.
2. Early civilizations arose in places like Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt where favorable environmental conditions like rivers supported agriculture and larger settlements.
3. In Mesopotamia, the world's first cities developed along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers around 3500 BCE. Early rulers like Sargon and laws like Hammurabi's Code helped establish social order.
The document discusses the state of the world in 1492 from a historical and trade perspective. It describes the political situations in Europe, the Middle East, India, China, and the Americas. In Europe, Spain was consolidating power through conquest and funding explorers like Columbus. The Ottoman Empire had captured Constantinople in 1453 and now dominated the Mediterranean. In India, most areas were under Muslim rule except Vijayanagar. China was led by the Ming Dynasty and had halted naval exploration. The Maya, Inca, and Aztec civilizations were growing but remained politically fragmented. Global populations were rising as the planet ended a warm period, putting pressure on food supplies which varied by region.
Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father .docxransayo
Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father recently passed away in a tragic car accident. Zoe, her mom, and two older brothers have temporarily relocated from out-of-state and are now living in her grandparents’ house in a small, rural community.
Because the family had been living out-of state, Zoe has never interacted with her grandparents. She has challenges responding to social cues, including her name and in understanding gestures. She also engages in repetitive body movements. She is fond of her set of dolls and likes lining them up. When Zoe is agitated, her mother plays Mozart, which seems to have a calming effect. Zoe also enjoys macaroni and cheese.
Her grandparents do not understand Zoe’s attempts at communicating. Zoe does not respond well to crowded and noisy environments. Zoe’s mom is working outside the home for the first time.
Because of the move, Zoe has transferred to a new school, which does not currently have any students with ASD. Although her mom is generally very involved with Zoe’s education, she is away from the home much of the time due to a long commute for her new job is a neighboring city.
Zoe’s grandparents are eager and willing to help in any way they can.
Imagine you are serving as an ASD consultant at Zoe’s new school. Using the COMPASS model, create a COMPASS Action Plan for Zoe by complete the following tasks:
Identify the personal challenges for Zoe;
Identify the environmental challenges for Zoe;
Identify potential supports; and

Body Paragraphs
Connect the following Sports Psychology Concepts (or even those not listed) to Zlatan Ibrahimović
What is his personality type? Type A, B C, or D?
Give examples through research of where he shows this.
CATASTROPHE THEORY… OCCURS WHEN? WHAT DOES THE GRAPH LOOK LIKE
· Arousal: is a blend of physiological and psychological activity in a person and it refers to the intensity dimensions of motivation at a particular moment. It ranges from not aroused, to completely aroused, to highly aroused; this is when individuals are mentally and physically activated.
· Performance increases as arousal increases but when arousal gets too high performance dramatically decreases. This is usually caused by the performer becoming anxious and sometimes making wrong decisions. Catastrophes is caused by a combination of cognitive and somatic anxieties. Cognitive is the internal worries of not performing well while somatic is the physical effects of muscle tension/butterflies and fatigue through playing.
· The graph is an inverted U where the x line is the arousal and the y is the performance. Performance peaks on the top of the inverted U and the catastrophe happens in the fall of the inverted U
HIGH TRAIT ANXIETY ATHLETES… HOW DO THEY PERCEIVE COMPETITION?
· Anxiety: is a negative emotional state in which feelings of nervousness, worry and apprehension are associated with activation or arousal of the body
· Trait Anxiety: is a behavioral disposition to perceive as threatening circumstances that objectively may not be dangerous and to then respond with disproportionate state anxiety.
· Somatic Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically perceived heightened physical symptoms (muscle tension)
· Cognitive Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically worries or has self doubt
· Concentration Disruption: the degree to which one typically has concentration disruption during competition
People usually with high trait anxiety usually have more state anxiety in highly competitive evaluative situations than do people with lower trait anxiety. Example two athletes are playing basketball and both are physically and statistically the same both have to shoot a final free throw to win the game. Athlete A is more laid back which means his trait anxiety is lower and he doesn't view the final shot as a overly threatening. Athlete B has a high trait anxiety and because of that he perceives the final shot as very threatening. This has an effect on his state anxiety much more than.

CATASTROPHE THEORY… OCCURS WHEN? WHAT DOES THE GRAPH LOOK LIKE
· Arousal: is a blend of physiological and psychological activity in a person and it refers to the intensity dimensions of motivation at a particular moment. It ranges from not aroused, to completely aroused, to highly aroused; this is when individuals are mentally and physically activated.
· Performance increases as arousal increases but when arousal gets too high performance dramatically decreases. This is usually caused by the performer becoming anxious and sometimes making wrong decisions. Catastrophes is caused by a combination of cognitive and somatic anxieties. Cognitive is the internal worries of not performing well while somatic is the physical effects of muscle tension/butterflies and fatigue through playing.
· The graph is an inverted U where the x line is the arousal and the y is the performance. Performance peaks on the top of the inverted U and the catastrophe happens in the fall of the inverted U
HIGH TRAIT ANXIETY ATHLETES… HOW DO THEY PERCEIVE COMPETITION?
· Anxiety: is a negative emotional state in which feelings of nervousness, worry and apprehension are associated with activation or arousal of the body
· Trait Anxiety: is a behavioral disposition to perceive as threatening circumstances that objectively may not be dangerous and to then respond with disproportionate state anxiety.
· Somatic Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically perceived heightened physical symptoms (muscle tension)
· Cognitive Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically worries or has self doubt
· Concentration Disruption: the degree to which one typically has concentration disruption during competition
People usually with high trait anxiety usually have more state anxiety in highly competitive evaluative situations than do people with lower trait anxiety. Example two athletes are playing basketball and both are physically and statistically the same both have to shoot a final free throw to win the game. Athlete A is more laid back which means his trait anxiety is lower and he doesn't view the final shot as a overly threatening. Athlete B has a high trait anxiety and because of that he perceives the final shot as very threatening. This has an effect on his state anxiety much more than.

Do You Choose to Accept?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and see Mission: Impossible-Fallout. As I sat back in my red-cushioned seat, accompanied by my brothers, I knew I was in for something special. The film takes place two years after two-thousand fifteens hit movie, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation. While I had no clue what to expect, I knew I was going to be in for an incredible ride as soon as the movie began with the intense dialogue between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). From beginning to end, Mission: Impossible- Fallout delivers crazy action-thriller scenes, inventive special effects, and creative cinematography.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout is based on a story of an American agent who must retrieve nuclear weapons from an enemy terrorist organization with help of his specialized IMF team. The film was consistent the first hour with it involving the audience in the mission of the secret organization and trying to figure out the next move of the evil organization known as the Apostles. However, towards the middle of the movie it was revealed that one of the CIA agents was playing the role of a double spy and was on the side of the Apostles. The plot delivered intense action-packed scenes between the opposing groups that personally had me at the edge of my seat. Whether it was a chase on motorcycles, cars, speedboats, or helicopters, each scene had Ethan Hunt running for his life to save the world. Even though I was only viewing the movie from a comfortable movie theater, Hunt zigzagging through the traffic of France on a motorcycle had my fists clenched and adrenaline pumping. However, that was not even the best thriller of the movie. Ethan Hunt trailing Agent Walker in a helicopter with heavy rounds of artillery being fired at each other through the snowcapped mountains of Kashmir may very well be one of the best action scenes in cinematic history. Mission: Impossible-Fallout can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences because of its action-packed scenes that keep everyone extremely engaged in the plot.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout brilliantly illustrates the amazing special effects that serve to create the theme and style of the film. From creating bloody wounds to spectacular backgrounds, special effects are abundant throughout the movie. For instance, as Hunt is jumping off an airplane, the special effects of this scene include wind, rain, thunder, and clouds that make the film visually appealing and almost realistic. The thunder striking him as he is skydiving had my jaw wide open simply because of how incredible the illusion was displayed. In almost every fight between Hunt’s team and the Apostles, multiple types of special effects were utilized. Fighting sequences with Hunt angrily running towards Lane and delivering devastating punches accompanied by “POWs” and “AAAHs” seemed so realistic that it had me feeling queasy in my stomach. The gunfire during these fight.

Working Title:
The Education Gap
Research Question:
How did the youth of Iran make up the education gap resulted from the Cultural Revolution from 1980 to 1982?
This is a critical question because it involves both education and the youth of Iran. Education and the youth are both very fundamental perspectives for a society to thrive. During the cultural revolution, the education system was shut down, which would undermine the overall quality of a generation. Research of this issue will lead us to the methods used to make up the education gap. It is possible to help other countries suffering similar issues.
Thesis Statement:
After the Iran’s cultural revolution during 1980 to 1982, the youth of Iran made up the education gap caused during the revolution by promoting student movements.
Outline:
· Introduction:
· Cultural Revolution happened in Iran during 1980 to 1982. The education institutions like universities were shut down for the 3-year period. And this gap in education brought significant influence on the youth of Iran at that time. However, the education gap was made up successfully after the revolution.
· State the thesis statement:
· The education gap is made up by the youth in Iran. They promoted the student movement to help the society recover from the revolution.
· The scars left from the revolution
· The revolution lasted 3 years, young people who were supposed to be students had to quit school. The government forced schools to close. The chain of delivering knowledge was broken. And young people cannot find proper things to do when quitting school.
· Student movements
· After the cultural revolution, people in Iran realized they need to correct the current education situation recover the damages resulted from the revolution. Since Iran’s youth has a great number in the society, their power was not to be ignored. They started to fight for their own rights and profits. They were looking for ways to make up the damage has been down. Then the student movement eventually worked for recovering Iran’s education level.
· Conclusion
· The cultural revolution in Iran hurt its education continuity. However, the youth of Iran managed to make up for the damage caused by the cultural revolution. Student movements played the dominant role in this recovering process.

Violation of Civil Rights Act in Elections
Introduction
Despite the assurance of minority voter’s rights by the constitution and the fourteenth amendment, cases of rights violation with regards to the voting process are still on the rise in the US. Minority groups are often discriminated or blocked from participating in the voting process both in ways that they can discern and through cunning plans that can involve the voting process. Some of the main reasons why minorities’ constitutional rights are violated include racial discrimination by majority races, and to manipulate the outcome of the elections so as to keep minority groups out of the political leadership structure. The fourteenth amendment and the constitution do not sufficiently safeguard the rights of minority groups during elections beca.

IBM's days in inventory is around two weeks and this means that goods in the inventory
as efficnetly distributed and that there is a consitantly good inventory control for the
company.
The company's debts to assets ratio is the same for two years and this means that the
company has less debt than asset. However, it is still a relatively poor ratio because this
might show that there are potential problems for the company to generate sufficient
revenue.
The current ratio of the company has decreased over the year, and this means that the
company has less liquid assets to cover its short term liabilities. Since the ratio is
currently approaching 1, the company might be having liquidation problem.
The profit margin for IBM is very stable and it has been about 12% for two years. The
company is performing the profit-generating ability at an average level and it is having
an average profit margin in the industry.
The receiveables turnover is good for the company while between these two years, there
is a decline. As the company is collecting its accounts receiveables around 10 times per
year, the collection is frequent.
The company has been collecting money from customers on credit sales approximately
once every month, and the company usually has fast credit collection, which means that
the risk for credit sales is relatively low.
Inventory turnover measures how many times a company sells and replaces inventory
during a year and for IBM, the number of times is stable and it is constantly around 25.
This means that the company has an efficient control of its goods in the inventory.

Zheng He's Inscription
This inscription was carved on a stele erected at a temple to the goddess the Celestial Spouse at Changle in Fujian province in 1431. Message written before his last voyage.
The Imperial Ming Dynasty unifying seas and continents, surpassing the three dynasties even goes beyond the Han and Tang dynasties. The countries beyond the horizon and from the ends of the earth have all become subjects and to the most western of the western or the most northern of the northern countries, however far they may be, the distance and the routes may be calculated. Thus the barbarians from beyond the seas, though their countries are truly distant, "have come to audience bearing precious objects and presents.
The Emperor, approving of their loyalty and sincerity, has ordered us (Zheng) He and others at the head of several tens of thousands of officers and flag-troops to ascend (use) more than one hundred large ships to go and confer presents on them in order to make manifest (make it happen) the transforming power of the (imperial) virtue and to treat distant people with kindness. From the third year of Yongle (1405) till now we have seven times received the commission (official permission) of ambassadors to countries of the western ocean. The barbarian countries which we have visited are: by way of Zhancheng (Champa Cambodia), Zhaowa (Java), Sanfoqi (Palembang- Indonesia) and Xianlo (Siam/Thailand) crossing straight over to Xilanshan (Ceylon- Sri Lanka) in South India, Guli (Calicut) [India], and Kezhi (Cochin India), we have gone to the western regions Hulumosi (Hormuz Between Oman and Iran), Adan (Aden), Mugudushu (Mogadishu- Somalia), altogether more than thirty countries large and small. We have traversed more than one hundred thousand li (distance of 500 meters) of immense water spaces and have beheld in the ocean huge waves like mountains rising sky-high, and we have set eyes on barbarian regions far away hidden in a blue transparency of light vapours, while our sails loftily unfurled like clouds day and night continued their course (rapid like that) of a star, traversing those savage waves as if we were treading a public thoroughfare. Truly this was due to the majesty and the good fortune of the Court and moreover we owe it to the protecting virtue of the divine Celestial Spouse.
The power of the goddess having indeed been manifested in previous times has been abundantly revealed in the present generation. When we arrived in the distant countries we captured alive those of the native kings who were not respectful and exterminated those barbarian robbers who were engaged in piracy, so that consequently the sea route was cleansed and pacified (to make someone or something peaceful) and the natives put their trust in it.

Time and Memory in Two Portal Fantasies: An Analysis of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and "Windeye"
Life is a collection of moments, and some memories last forever. Brian Evenson
demonstrated this in “Windeye,”a story of a man who faces mental challenges because of the
life-long memory of his sister. In spite of the fact that his mother insists that the sister did not
exist, the protagonist stuck to this belief until his old age. The basis of the protagonist’s
problems is the intense love and unforgettable memories he shared with his imagined sister.
A great portion of his childhood memories is centered around his sister and their exploration
of the windeye. Windeye, the corruption of the word window, is a portal that causes the
disappearance of the protagonist’s sister. The popular portal fantasy, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, illustrates a similar story in the same sub-genre where a girl travels through a
rabbit hole and experiences a fantasy world which chronicles her changes from naive child-
like responses to more adult-like problem solving reactions. In “Windeye,” Brian Evenson
utilizes the portal trope to develop conflict and outcomes while exploring the themes of time
and memory. In both stories, the use of the portal trope creates a distinct world that is
separate from reality; however, the outcomes are different, and ultimately, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland presents the theme of growth while “Windeye” explores time and memories.
The use of time factors allows the reader to travel back to the origin of the story in “Windeye” and experience the beginning of the central conflict. It is in his past that the
protagonist develops strong childhood memories of a sister, which is the cause of his future
mental challenges. In the present, the narrator is old and rickety as he uses a cane to walk but
is still reminiscent of the past (Evenson). He holds firm to the belief that he might have a
chance of meeting his sister again and thus contemplates the future and the sister’s
appearance. The plot of “Windeye” is composed of distinctive life moments: the past, the
present, and the future, which offer a clear and complete description of the events. The theme
Zhou 2
of time allows the reader to understand why the protagonist profoundly feels that his sister exists. In essence, it is time travel that gives the story a picture of the events that lead to the current situation.
The portal fantasy is a fictional literary device where a character enters into a
fantastical world through a portal or a hole. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll
uses a rabbit hole as a physical portal to move through time. Comparably, Evenson utilizes
the windeye, a window that can only be seen from one side, as a physical portal. When the
sister touches the windeye, her brother believes that she enters into another reality through
the portal as Alice does. In contrast, the protagonist also experiences a new reality as he is.

Comparing Gas-Powered Cars and Electric Cars
Electric cars have become increasingly popular in the past century. These cars use
electric motors instead of conventional gasoline engines. Electric cars pollute less and utilize
energy more efficiently than gas-powered vehicles; therefore, modern research is focusing on
improving electric vehicles, such as increasing the storage capacity of the batteries. This essay
seeks to identify the differences and similarities between the two types of cars focusing on their
performance, price, and convenience.
An electric car is a car that is primarily powered by electricity. The conventional gas-
powered cars require diesel or gasoline to power the engines. These cars have gas tanks that store
fuel and the engine converts the gas to the energy that powers the motor. Similarly, electric cars
have batteries, or fuel cells that store and convert electricity to energy used to propel electric
motors (What Are Electric Cars?). Four components present in electric cars distinguish it from
the gas-powered cars (Alternative Fuels Data Center: How Do All-Electric Cars Work?). The
first is the charge port. Since electricity powers an electric car, there has to be a port to connect
to an external power source when charging the battery. The second is an electric traction motor
that propels the vehicle. The third is a traction battery pack. This battery serves the same purpose
as the gas tank; thus, it stocks electric power to propel the motor. The forth is a direct current
converter. This component converts the current to low voltage power that is needed to power the
electric engine.

No, you cannot 'announce' what your essay will do. And this is NOT the thesis I approved. What I approved:"Both gas-powered cars and electric cars are now in use, but their price, performance and convenience may vary, which may influence people's decisions about which type to use."

Differences between gas-powered cars and electric cars
The initial purchase price of an electric car is much higher than that of a gas-powered car.
Consumers intending to own a vehicle have the option of buying or leasing. The initial cost of a
car depends on an individual's disposable income and savings. Knez et al. noted that "When it
comes to financial features, the most important thing seems to be the total price of the vehicle"

Reputation by Taylor Swift
After Taylor Swift fell into disrepute, she was truly reborn. As a creative singer
who reveals a lot of real life emotions and details in her works, she constantly refines
and shares her emotional connection with her audience. In her new album, people find
resonance in her work, connect it with their own lives. "Reputation" is not only the
original efforts of Taylor Swift, but also means that she turned gorgeously and
dominated. This album is like a swearing word from her to the world. Revenge fantasy,
sweet love, painful growth... all the good and bad things that happened in these stages
of life, her music seems to have gone through with us all over again.
But last August, the now 28-year-old singer declared that "the old Taylor is
dead" in her eerie single "Look What You Made Me Do," the beginning of a new era for
Swift (Weatherby). The disclosure of the society, the accusations of rumor makers,
these straight-forward lyrics shred the ugly face of those unscrupulous people. Taylor
Swift did not endure the rumors in the society, but created this rock album after the
silence. If 1989 is still what Taylor hopes to gain the understanding of the public, this
album is really a matter of opening up the past concerns, saying goodbye to the past
as well as being a true Taylor Swift. No longer caring about the so-called "reputation ",
preferring to be burned to death by those ridiculous "images." This air of newfound
jadedness is one of the many ways in which Swift broadcasts her long-overdue loss of
Zhang �2
innocence on “Reputation,” an album that captures the singer during the most
turbulent but commercially successful period of her career. (Primeau)
The cover is black and white, the picture is Taylor's head, and the side is the
newspaper's article and title words. The cover of the album may be a metaphor, it
reveals that Taylor can no longer stand the report of the gossip media, and the chain on
the neck represents depression and breathlessness. The theme and style of the album
are all refined from their own lives. The emotions and themes interpreted in her songs
make the audience feel more deeply that her album is her life. Without even using any
real words, fans can surmise what this means — a reference to the endless headlines
and stories the singer has spurred in recent years. (Primeau) Reputation, come to diss
the past and all opponents.
The lyrics and MV are full of real stalks in Taylor Swift's life , with Taylor's
resentment for circles and industry since his debut. In the era of streaming singles, she
is the rare young star who still worships at the altar of the album, an old-fashioned
instinct that serves her surprisingly well. (Battan) "Look What You Made Me Do" is a
counterattack against Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and numerous
online "black mold". And .

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.
Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.
Post
a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

ZACHARY SHEMTOB AND DAVID LAT

Executions Should Be Televised
Earlier this month, Georgia conducted its third execution this year. This would have passed relatively unnoticed if not for a controversy surrounding its videotaping. Lawyers for the condemned inmate, Andrew Grant DeYoung, had persuaded a judge to allow the recording of his last moments as part of an effort to obtain evidence on whether lethal injection caused unnecessary suffering.
Though he argued for videotaping, one of Mr. DeYoung’s defense lawyers, Brian Kammer, spoke out against releasing the footage to the public. “It’s a horrible thing that Andrew DeYoung had to go through,” Mr. Kammer said, “and it’s not for the public to see that.”
We respectfully disagree. Executions in the United States ought to be made public.
Right now, executions are generally open only to the press and a few select witnesses. For the rest of us, the vague contours are provided in the morning paper. Yet a functioning democracy demands maximum accountability and transparency. As long as executions remain behind closed doors, those are impossible. The people should have the right to see what is being done in their name and with their tax dollars.
This is particularly relevant given the current debate on whether specific methods of lethal injection constitute cruel and unusual punishment and therefore violate the Constitution.
There is a dramatic difference between reading or hearing of such an event and observing it through image and sound. (This is obvious to those who saw the footage of Saddam Hussein’s hanging in 2006 or the death of Neda Agha-Soltan during the protests in Iran in 2009.) We are not calling for opening executions completely to the public — conducting them before a live crowd — but rather for broadcasting them live or recording them for future release, on the web or TV.
When another Georgia inmate, Roy Blankenship, was executed in June, the prisoner jerked his head, grimaced, gasped, and lurched, according to a medical expert’s affidavit. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Mr. DeYoung, executed in the same manner, “showed no violent signs in death.” Voters should not have to rely on media accounts to understand what takes place when a man is put to death.
Cameras record legislative sessions and presidential debates, and courtrooms are allowing greater television access. When he was an Illinois state senator, President Obama successfully pressed for the videotaping of homicide interrogations and confessions. The most serious penalty of all surely demands equal if not greater scrutiny.
Opponents of our proposal offer many objections. State lawyers argued that making Mr. DeYoung’s execution public raised safety concerns..

This document summarizes a lecture on the social organization of Hindustani music. It discusses key terms like gharana (musical lineage), khandan (musical family), and the distinction between soloists and accompanists. Socially, soloists came from higher castes than accompanists. Musically, the performance structure involved a soloist leading with accompanists following. Over time, accompanists gained more prominence and independence, filling important musical roles and occasionally challenging the traditional hierarchy. Lineage and pedigree (gharana/khandan) became important for musicians' social and musical identities.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

A Brief History of Environmental AttitudesEnvironmentalism didn.docx
1. A Brief History of Environmental Attitudes
Environmentalism didn't really begin until after the Industrial
Revolution was underway. Thus, this lesson is really just a
historical look at the positive and negative affects that we as a
species have had on nature. The next module discusses the
history of environmentalism in America. So here, we will begin
with the earliest known evidence and work up to the beginning
of the Industrial Revolution.
The story begins in the Kalambo Falls region of Africa. These
falls are a single drop of 772 feet, the second largest in all of
Africa. There is evidence indicating human activity from as far
back as 300,000 BCE. However, we are interested in what was
happening about 60,000 BCE. At this site we see what is
probably the earliest evidence for using fire to clearcut a forest;
most likely for establishing a settlement.
Next, we will jump forward to 7000 BCE, and over to
Mesopotamia. For most of us, it is difficult to imagine many
parts of the world as being covered with forests, but they used
to be, including the Middle East. Various texts including the
Bible and the Epic of Gilgamesh confirm that the Middle East
used to be full of trees, which were systematically cut down to
further civilization. Some sources argue that this deforestation
is the impetus for the stories about the Garden of Eden.
Ultimately, this deforestation led to the collapse of various
communities in southern Israel by 6000 BCE.
For a quick tangent, we can take this particular issue and jump
right up to the modern era and see how it is still relevant. On
the modern island that holds the two countries, Haiti and the
Dominican Republic, the Haitian side of this island is in peril
due to clear-cutting its forests to sell the timber. What happens
once you clear out the trees is that there is nothing, such as
roots, to hold the soil in place and it all washes away.
In 2700 BCE in Ur, a city located in what is now the Dhi Qar
Governate of Iraq, we get what is possibly the first decree on
2. conservation, to protect the remaining forest. However, we
continue to see large scale commercial timbering of cedar in
both Phoenicia (Lebanon) and South India.
In 2500 BCE, we encounter the Mohenjo Daro civilization in
modern Pakistan - the name translates to "mound of the dead."
This city housed approximately 5,000 citizens but it was part of
the bigger Harappa civilization consisting of some 35,000
people. The city was about a square mile with streets that were
laid out in a grid design. These streets included an advanced
and extensive drainage system that helped with sanitation.
Between 1500 and 1200 BCE, we see several interesting events.
First, about 1500 BCE in Central America, we see several city-
states that due to growth and expansion had to contend with
substantial soil erosion. These efforts were unsuccessful and the
erosion led to the collapse of these city-states. Next, in about
1450 BCE, the Minoan civilization near Greece declines.
Modern scholars are not in agreement as to exactly why. Some
argue that it was a volcanic eruption, while others argue that it
was due to deforestation and soil erosion, which also hampered
manufacturing. About 1300 BCE we find Hebrew law which
indicates that livestock should be raised with care and
slaughtered as humanely as possible. Finally in about 1200
BCE, Troy (near modern Istanbul) experienced so much soil
erosion due to deforestation that silt filled bays and river
mouths and actually altered the coastline, moving it farther
north.
In the 8th century BCE, the prophet Isaiah, yes the one from the
Bible, spoke against animal sacrifice and for vegetarianism.
Later, John the Baptist was also a vegetarian. There is also
some serious scholarly research indicating that Jesus, following
his predecessor John, also espoused vegetarianism. In the 7th
and 6th centuries BCE we witness the birth of both Jainism and
Buddhism, both of which teach that we should have compassion
for all life, which means we do not eat animals. Skipping ahead
for a minute, in 256 BCE, King Ashoka of India writes the
Seven Pillars edict which protects 26 different species.
3. Pythagoras, a great Greek philosopher and mathematician, lived
in the 6th century BCE. He argued that women should be treated
as equals to men and also for vegetarianism. Towards the end of
the 6th and the beginning of the 5th century BCE in Greece,
several coastal cities became landlocked due to heavy
deforestation which led to soil erosion, again as silt filled the
bays and the mouths of rivers. Plato allegedly compared the
hills and mountains of Athens to a decaying body, saying: "all
the richer and softer parts have fallen away and the mere
skeleton of the land remains." Hippocrates, the father of
medicine, became the first to correlate what one consumes,
where one works, and the climate in which one lives to one's
health. His book, Air, Water, and Places, is the earliest work on
human ecology. At the end of the 5th century Thucydides, a
general and one of the first historians, wrote the history of the
Peloponnesian Wars partly because of his failed mission to
protect the forests in northern Greece.
Ancient Rome will bring us up the Common Era, but first, we
should mention that the Cloaca Maxima (big sewer) and the
aqueducts were invented to move water in and waste out of the
city. Due to industry such as smelting, tanning, and metallurgy
the pollution was pretty bad. The Roman writers often referred
to gravioris caeli, or heavy heaven, and infamus aer, or
infamous air. However, one cannot forget that Rome also
brought a new standard of public health - appointing doctors to
tend to the poor, building hospitals across the empire, building
public baths, and having a sewage system. This standard would
not be seen again in Europe until the mid-18th century. In 80
CE, Rome passed a law to protect water stores during dry
periods. Lead poisoning was common in Rome due to both the
use of it as a sweetener and from mining.
In 535 CE, Emperor Justinian issued a legal code that
included: "By the law of nature these things are common to
mankind---the air, running water, the sea, and consequently the
shores of the sea."
Now let's skip forward a bit and look at the time period from
4. 1150 to the early 1500s CE. The Sri Lankan King Missanka
Malla passed a decree that prohibited the slaughter of animals
within a certain radius of the city. Around the same time we see
the rise of the Cathari sect in southern France. Cathari is
derived from the Greek word katharos, which means pure. They
were a vegan sect of Catholicism that was eventually
exterminated by the Albigensian Crusade and the Inquisition.
During this same time St Francis was born and started the
Franciscan Order of monks, which also argued for
vegetarianism and fought for animal rights. In the early 1300s
France passed the Forest Code as an effort regulate wood
production for the navy. Paris in 1366 passed a law requiring
butchers to dispose of animal waste outside of the city.
Interestingly, both New York and Philadelphia would dispute
similar laws nearly 400 years later. In 1388, the English
Parliament passed a law forbidding people from throwing waste
and garbage into ditches, rivers etc. And the city of Cambridge
passed the first urban sanitation laws. 1452 introduces Leonardo
da Vinci to the scene. He practiced and taught vegetarianism:
"The time will come when humans will look on the slaughter of
beasts as they now look on the murder of men." Bartholomew
Chassenee, who died in 1540, became the first animal rights
lawyer by defending rats before the ecclesiastical court of
Autun. He argued, in part, that it would take too much time to
notify all of the rodents, and that for them to appear would
require them to face their mortal enemy: the cats. He won.
Now let's cover the entire 16th century, beginning with Akbar
the Great. Akbar was a Mogul emperor in India who established
zoos that far surpassed the quality of European zoos. At the
various entrances he posted this sign: "Meet your brothers, take
them to heart, and respect them," according to David Hancock
in his book, A Different Nature. This may be the first clear
distinction between exhibition for entertainment and exhibition
for education. Sir Thomas More of England in 1516 wrote in his
book Utopia that kindness towards animals, the abolition of
animal sacrifice and sport hunting are signs of moral
5. advancement. Michel de Montaigne, a French attorney who was
born in 1533, denounced the abuse of animals as "the extremist
of all vices." In 1556 Agricola, also known as Georgius Bauer,
wrote De Re Metallica, a book on occupational hazards. In it he
discussed the both the health concerns and the environmental
damage resulting from mining. However, he sides with "man"
and blames most of these incidents on careless workers. This
theme of careless workers' responsibility repeats up to the mid-
20th century. Girolama Fracastoro, an Italian physician,
outlined a theory on contagious disease in 1546. He argued that
diseases are spread three ways: simple contact, indirect contact,
and on minute bodies over distances through air. Further, he
claimed that the way to diminish epidemics was through
isolation and disinfection. After 1600 rapid industrialization in
England led to heavy deforestation and thus a growing
dependence on burning coal instead of wood. Sir John
Harrington invented the water closet (that is, toilet) in 1589 but
due to a lack of interest or concern about filth and sewage, it
went largely ignored until 1778. The dodo, a small flightless
fowl, was discovered on the island of Mauritius. Within a
century, however, it is driven to extinction due to the
introduction of alien predators including cats, dogs, pigs, and
humans.
Thomas Tryon was born in 1632 and was instrumental in
convincing the Puritans that animals have souls. He also
crusaded against slavery and spoke out for animal rights. Isaac
Walton wrote The Compleat Angler in 1640, a book about
fishing in which he espoused conservation. The Massachusetts
Bay Colony in 1641 adopted the 100 Libertiesas the laws of the
colony. Number 92 was about animal rights, and was the first
such law adopted by any Western country. It required that
livestock be treated without tyranny or cruelty. In 1661 John
Evelyn wrote Fumifugium, a book about air pollution in London
and how to deal with it. Afterwards in his diary he claims the
smoke was so bad that: "Hardly could one see across the street,
and this filling the lungs with its gross particles exceedingly
6. obstructed the breast, so as one would scarce breathe." John
Graunt published mortality statistics in 1662 that, although a bit
inaccurate, were still a step towards epidemiology and an
understanding of disease and public health. Japan's shogun in
1666 warned against the dangers of soil erosion, stream siltation
and flooding due to deforestation. He encouraged people to
plant trees and ultimately his efforts led to an elaborate system
of woodland management by 1700. France again enacted stricter
forestry codes to regulate wood production for their navy.
Germany pilloried (put in the stocks and publicly scorned) a
man for cruelty to a horse; Germany records at least two other
similar incidents, one in 1765 and one in 1766. Jared Eliot, born
in 1685, wrote an essay on Field Husbandry and how to reduce
inefficiency and waste in colonial American farming, primarily
focused on soil erosion and producing better pastures for
livestock. In 1690, Governor William Penn required
Pennsylvania settlers to preserve one acre of forest for every
five that were consumed. In the 1690's Paris, catching up with
ancient Rome, became the first European city to have an
extensive sewer system.
Beginning at the end of the 17th century we start to see a
movement towards increased mechanization. However, what
really inflicted the death blow to the environment was Thomas
Newcomen's steam engine, which greatly accelerated the ability
to pump water out of mines and get to the coal. With this
invention, and various improvements to it, the Industrial
Revolution's assault on the environment powered up, seemingly
perpetually gaining steam (pun intended).
Now, we are all aware of how metals played a role in history, so
let's take a look at this article on the historical importance
of wood.

10. Student Expectations
These expectations exist to maintain the high level of
professionalism expected in this
course.
1- Attendance is not mandatory; however the Instructor is not
required to "make-up"
information with students who have missed class. If you
anticipate missing class
please make arrangements to receive the lecture notes from
another student.
2- It is expected that the student will arrive on time for every
class and return from
breaks on time.
3- You will come to class prepared to participate in whatever
activity is taking place
that day. Cell phones and MP3 players are to be silenced and
put away during
class time.
4- Late assignments will not be accepted. If you anticipate
missing class the day an
assignment is due, you will need to email the assignment to the
instructor by the
beginning of class.
11. 5- Classroom discussion will be encouraged. Please ask
questions and voice
opinions. However, interrupting and being disrespectful to
fellow students, the
instructor, or any guests will not be tolerated. Attacking another
student’s opinion
that differs from your own will also not be tolerated. Should
this become a
problem, I will ask you to leave the classroom and we will meet
before you are
allowed back in class.
Assignments
It is recommended that for every hour you spend in the
classroom you should spend 1-2
hours outside of class studying and preparing.
Written assignments must demonstrate the minimum of effective
writing expected of a
student in a university upper-division undergraduate class.
Please proofread your work
for length, organization, spelling, and grammatical errors.
Points will be deducted for
such errors. You are encouraged to utilize the Writing Center
in the Marriott Library,
which is free to enrolled students. Please call 587-9122 or
contact the center via their
website to schedule an appointment:
www.writingcenter.utah.edu/
There will be assignments almost every week (each worth 20 -
12. 50 points). The detailed
individual assignment descriptions and grading rubrics can be
found on Canvas under the
assignment link. Assignments will not be accepted after the day
they are due. Pay
attention to the due date and time it is due. Some assignments
will be due in class and
others will be submitted electronically by 1159pm on the due
date.
Extra Credit
Each extra credit assignment is worth 5 points. Each student
may earn up to 10 points in
extra credit. These points are added to the total number of
points earned at the end of the
semester before a percentage is figured. This is the only way
you may get extra credit. No
extra credit will be accepted after Dec. 16th.
Extra Credit Assignment #1: You may donate blood or plasma
at any time during the
semester. Bring to the instructor, proof that you have donated
by Dec. 16th. If you are
unable to donate blood, you may write a two-page paper
explaining why donating
blood/plasma is important, how it relates to first aid, and why
certain individuals may not
donate. Be sure to back up thoughts and ideas with references as
appropriate. Plagiarism
on this paper will not be tolerated.
Extra Credit Assignment #2: You may perform five hours of
community service related
to EMS or health care. You may volunteer at a community event
(example: Special
Olympics, race, or health fair), hospital, Red Cross, do a ride-
13. along with your local fire
department, or any thing else you can come up with. You will
need to write a one-page
paper discussing what you did, where you volunteered, what
you learned, and your
overall impressions of the experience. You will need proof of
your volunteer work. You
get this proof by having the individual you worked with fill out
the volunteer form found
on Canvas. I need your paper and form by Dec. 16th.
Exams
You will have three (3) written exams. Each exam is worth 100
points, for a total of 300
possible points. Each exam will consist of multiple choice, short
answer, matching,
true/false, and compare and contrast questions. All written
exams will be given online
through the class’s canvas page.
Grading
Grades will be determined based on class assignments and
written exams.
95 - 100 = A 73 - 76 = C
90 - 94 = A- 70 - 73 = C-
87 - 89 = B+ 67 - 69 = D+
84 - 86 = B 64 - 66 = D
80 - 83 = B- 60 – 63 = D-
77 - 79 = C+ 0 - 59 = E
