Research
Research skills are important in both the academic and the work environment. During your career as a student, you have researched different subjects to gain knowledge. In the workplace, you may conduct research for numerous reasons, such as to determine the cost of new equipment, to gain an understanding of a technical term or concept, to summarize a procedure for your supervisor, or to uncover facts for a technical report.
To keep up with changes in technology, it is imperative that you gain familiarity with all available research methods. In the past, people typically performed research at a library. Today, they turn to the World Wide Web; however, technical writers can conduct research through numerous channels. Personal interviews, e-mail questionnaires, and listservs (programs by which e-mail messages are sent to a mailing list go out to all those on that list) can provide valid research opportunities.
Chances are, if you need to research a particular topic, your first source will be the Internet. There, you can find information from government organizations, academic institutions, commercial groups, and individuals. Remember, though, that not every site on the Web is a reliable source of information. Universities, for example, are more credible than obscure Web sites with a single author who lacks verifiable credentials. To conduct research on the Internet, follow these tips:
· Look for Web sites that end in .gov, .org, and .edu.
· For a .edu or other site, make sure you can find the author of the material.
· Check the author's credentials and see if he or she is referenced in the field.
· Find out whether the author has a bibliography or a works cited section, and check to ensure that his or her references are reputable (i.e., academic books, government journals, etc.).
· See whether the Web page has a publication date, and when the last update occurred.
· If you can't locate the origins of a Web page or its author, be aware that you may not have found a credible source.
Many groups, including federal agencies, offer online indexes and databases. These are generally broken down by subject matter (such as MEDLINE from the Community of Science (COS), which offers medical journals and health publications; or ERIC from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, which provides literature on education from journals and other sources). Within each of these databases, you can drill down to relevant research materials by entering specific search requirements. UMUC's Information and Library Services Web site provides a wealth of up-to-date online indexes. You can also find this link in the Toolkit section of this course, if you would like to use it for your reference.
The type of research you'll perform will be determined by your audience and purpose. For example, if your supervisor wants you to report on the latest trends and de ...

Some
Approaches:
The
following
approaches
might
be
useful
for
developing
your
topic.
This
does
not
mean
that
all
of
this
information
should
be
in
your
paper.
1. Look
up
definitions
of
key
terms.
If
legalities
are
involved,
look
up
the
legal
definitions
of
the
terms
(or
their
non-‐technology
equivalent
terms)
as
well.
2. Try
to
find
one
or
two
relevant
cases,
especially
those
that
are
expected
to
be
ground-‐breaking
legal
actions.
3. Decide
which
type
of
ethical
analysis
is
appropriate
for
your
topic,
such
as
stakeholder
analysis,
societal
impact
statement,
classical
philosophy
(such
as
Utilitarian,

Try

Common
Errors:
After
grading
papers
and
presentations
for
many
semesters,
I
have
compiled
the
following
list
of
serious
errors
seen
in
those
papers.
Use
this
as
a
checklist
to
ensure
that
your
paper
is
a
quality
paper.
1. Do
not
use

me,
my,
mine,
we,
our,
ours)
or
second

your,
yours)
person
in
a
research
paper
ever.
Use
only
third
person.
You
will
probably
use
a
lot
of
passive
voice.
2. The
tone
of
your
article
should
be
one
of
scholarly
research.
It
should
NOT
be
“chatty”
like
a
magazine
article.
Do
not
use
questions.
State
facts
instead.
3. Direct
quotes
should
almost
never
be
used.
You
should
be
able
to
read
and
discuss
what
you
have
read.
Cobbling
together
a
bunch
of
direct
quotes
as
a
paper
will
produce
a
grade
of
F,
regardless
of
the
use
of

Task 1 Annotated BibliographyIntroductionThe first stages of.docxjosies1
Task 1: Annotated BibliographyIntroduction:
The first stages of the research writing process involve topic selection, formulation of a research question, preliminary research, and the development of a working thesis statement. Now you will begin identifying and evaluating sources to determine how effectively they can support your argument. If needed, the “Topic Ideas” web link below can be used for selecting your research topic.
For this task, you will create an annotated bibliography by finding 8-10 sources for your research paper, listing the sources in APA-formatted references, and providing an annotation for each source. Each annotation should offer a summary of the source, an evaluation of its author’s or publisher’s credibility, and an assessment of its relevance to your topic.
Requirements:Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. Use the Turnitin Originality Report available in Taskstream as a guide for this measure of originality.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
A. Compose an appropriate, arguable thesis statement that previews two to four main points and that you plan to use in your research paper.
B. Create an annotated bibliography of eight to ten appropriate, credible sources that you plan to use in your research paper.
Note: You may use the attached “Annotated Bibliography Template” to complete your annotated bibliography, but use of the attached template is not required.
1. Provide a full, APA-formatted reference citation for the 8–10 sources.
2. Provide an annotation (suggested length of 150 words) for each of the 8–10 sources by doing the following:
a. Summarize the information presented in the source.
b. Analyze the credibility of the author of the source or of the publication (e.g. journal, publisher, or website), if no author is present.
c. Analyze the relevance of the source to your chosen research topic.
3. Write each annotation in your own words, without the excessive use of direct quotation or extensive paraphrasing, for the 8–10 sources from part B.
C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
Task 2: Argumentative Research PaperIntroduction:
Writing a research paper gives you an opportunity to explore a topic of special interest, research that topic, and organize your research findings in writing for an academic audience.
Through your preparation work, you have established an argumentative thesis statement and have planned a clear organization of your main points. Your research is compl.
Research Paper Using Word 2010This assignment has two goals .docxronak56
Research Paper Using Word 2010
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students increase their understanding of the concept of Protecting Personal Information (PPI) and other ethical issues related to the use of information technology through research, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research paper including using Word 2010/2013/Office 365's citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a students’ academic career. The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to four full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3 external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/Reference page. Wikipedia and similar general information sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source.
A list of topics from which students can choose is provided below.
Topics for Research Paper
1.
1. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
1. Social Engineering
1. Employee Monitoring
1. Information Privacy
1. Electronic Medical Records
1. Biometrics (in terms of ethical and privacy issues)
1. Identity Theft
1. Use of Cookies
1. Privacy Laws related to Information Technology use
1. Intellectual Property Rights; Copyright
If there is another topic that addresses ethical issues as related to information technology that is of special interest to you but one that is not in the list above, request permission from your instructor before selecting this alternate topic.
Writing Quality for the Research Paper
* All Grammar, Verb Tenses, Pronouns, Spelling, Punctuation, and Writing Competency should be without error.
Be particularly careful about mis-matching a noun and pronoun. For example, if you say "A person does this…" then do not use "their" or "they" when referring to that person. "Person" is singular; "their" or "they" is plural.
* Remember: there is not their, your is not you're, its is not it's, too is not to or two, site is not cite, and who should be used after an individual, not that. For example, "the person WHO made the speech" not "the person THAT made the speech."
* In a professional paper one does not use contractions (doesn't, don't, etc.) and one does not use the personal I,you or your. Use the impersonal as in the previous sentence. It is more business-like to say "In a professional paper one should not use contractions," rather than saying, "In a professional paper you don't use contractions."
*Remember: spell-check, then proofread. Better yet, have a friend or colleague read it before submitting it. Read it out loud to yourself. Read it as if you are submitting it to your boss.

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
Identify and prioritize teaching goals.
In addition, include a 250-500-word rationale that explains how your action plan for Zoe demonstrates collaboration in a respectful, culturally responsive way while promoting understanding, resolving conflicts, and building consensus around her interventions.

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.

Research
Research skills are important in both the academic and the work environment. During your career as a student, you have researched different subjects to gain knowledge. In the workplace, you may conduct research for numerous reasons, such as to determine the cost of new equipment, to gain an understanding of a technical term or concept, to summarize a procedure for your supervisor, or to uncover facts for a technical report.
To keep up with changes in technology, it is imperative that you gain familiarity with all available research methods. In the past, people typically performed research at a library. Today, they turn to the World Wide Web; however, technical writers can conduct research through numerous channels. Personal interviews, e-mail questionnaires, and listservs (programs by which e-mail messages are sent to a mailing list go out to all those on that list) can provide valid research opportunities.
Chances are, if you need to research a particular topic, your first source will be the Internet. There, you can find information from government organizations, academic institutions, commercial groups, and individuals. Remember, though, that not every site on the Web is a reliable source of information. Universities, for example, are more credible than obscure Web sites with a single author who lacks verifiable credentials. To conduct research on the Internet, follow these tips:
· Look for Web sites that end in .gov, .org, and .edu.
· For a .edu or other site, make sure you can find the author of the material.
· Check the author's credentials and see if he or she is referenced in the field.
· Find out whether the author has a bibliography or a works cited section, and check to ensure that his or her references are reputable (i.e., academic books, government journals, etc.).
· See whether the Web page has a publication date, and when the last update occurred.
· If you can't locate the origins of a Web page or its author, be aware that you may not have found a credible source.
Many groups, including federal agencies, offer online indexes and databases. These are generally broken down by subject matter (such as MEDLINE from the Community of Science (COS), which offers medical journals and health publications; or ERIC from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, which provides literature on education from journals and other sources). Within each of these databases, you can drill down to relevant research materials by entering specific search requirements. UMUC's Information and Library Services Web site provides a wealth of up-to-date online indexes. You can also find this link in the Toolkit section of this course, if you would like to use it for your reference.
The type of research you'll perform will be determined by your audience and purpose. For example, if your supervisor wants you to report on the latest trends and de ...

the
legal
definitions
of
the
terms
(or
their

especially
those
that
are

to
be
ground-‐breaking
legal

Common
Errors:
After
grading
papers

I
have

It
should
NOT
be

Task 1 Annotated BibliographyIntroductionThe first stages of.docxjosies1
Task 1: Annotated BibliographyIntroduction:
The first stages of the research writing process involve topic selection, formulation of a research question, preliminary research, and the development of a working thesis statement. Now you will begin identifying and evaluating sources to determine how effectively they can support your argument. If needed, the “Topic Ideas” web link below can be used for selecting your research topic.
For this task, you will create an annotated bibliography by finding 8-10 sources for your research paper, listing the sources in APA-formatted references, and providing an annotation for each source. Each annotation should offer a summary of the source, an evaluation of its author’s or publisher’s credibility, and an assessment of its relevance to your topic.
Requirements:Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. Use the Turnitin Originality Report available in Taskstream as a guide for this measure of originality.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
A. Compose an appropriate, arguable thesis statement that previews two to four main points and that you plan to use in your research paper.
B. Create an annotated bibliography of eight to ten appropriate, credible sources that you plan to use in your research paper.
Note: You may use the attached “Annotated Bibliography Template” to complete your annotated bibliography, but use of the attached template is not required.
1. Provide a full, APA-formatted reference citation for the 8–10 sources.
2. Provide an annotation (suggested length of 150 words) for each of the 8–10 sources by doing the following:
a. Summarize the information presented in the source.
b. Analyze the credibility of the author of the source or of the publication (e.g. journal, publisher, or website), if no author is present.
c. Analyze the relevance of the source to your chosen research topic.
3. Write each annotation in your own words, without the excessive use of direct quotation or extensive paraphrasing, for the 8–10 sources from part B.
C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
Task 2: Argumentative Research PaperIntroduction:
Writing a research paper gives you an opportunity to explore a topic of special interest, research that topic, and organize your research findings in writing for an academic audience.
Through your preparation work, you have established an argumentative thesis statement and have planned a clear organization of your main points. Your research is compl.

Research Paper Using Word 2010
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students increase their understanding of the concept of Protecting Personal Information (PPI) and other ethical issues related to the use of information technology through research, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research paper including using Word 2010/2013/Office 365's citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a students’ academic career. The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to four full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3 external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/Reference page. Wikipedia and similar general information sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source.
A list of topics from which students can choose is provided below.
Topics for Research Paper
1.
1. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
1. Social Engineering
1. Employee Monitoring
1. Information Privacy
1. Electronic Medical Records
1. Biometrics (in terms of ethical and privacy issues)
1. Identity Theft
1. Use of Cookies
1. Privacy Laws related to Information Technology use
1. Intellectual Property Rights; Copyright
If there is another topic that addresses ethical issues as related to information technology that is of special interest to you but one that is not in the list above, request permission from your instructor before selecting this alternate topic.
Writing Quality for the Research Paper
* All Grammar, Verb Tenses, Pronouns, Spelling, Punctuation, and Writing Competency should be without error.
Be particularly careful about mis-matching a noun and pronoun. For example, if you say "A person does this…" then do not use "their" or "they" when referring to that person. "Person" is singular; "their" or "they" is plural.
* Remember: there is not their, your is not you're, its is not it's, too is not to or two, site is not cite, and who should be used after an individual, not that. For example, "the person WHO made the speech" not "the person THAT made the speech."
* In a professional paper one does not use contractions (doesn't, don't, etc.) and one does not use the personal I,you or your. Use the impersonal as in the previous sentence. It is more business-like to say "In a professional paper one should not use contractions," rather than saying, "In a professional paper you don't use contractions."
*Remember: spell-check, then proofread. Better yet, have a friend or colleague read it before submitting it. Read it out loud to yourself. Read it as if you are submitting it to your boss.

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
Identify and prioritize teaching goals.
In addition, include a 250-500-word rationale that explains how your action plan for Zoe demonstrates collaboration in a respectful, culturally responsive way while promoting understanding, resolving conflicts, and building consensus around her interventions.

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.

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. All this is due to the favours of the goddess.
We have respectfully received an Imperial commemorative composition (essay/piece of writing) exalting the miraculous favours, which is the highest recompense and.

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."
Zhang 2
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"
(55). The difference in price between electr.

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
Zachary Shemtob, formerly editor in chief of the Georgetown Law Review, is a clerk in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. David Lat is a former federal prosecutor. Their essay originally appeared in the New York Times in 2011.
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..

Reflective Essay
Becoming a good writer is a challenging and continuous process that need to constantly improving your writing skills in different area as same as constructive reflection for identification of both progress and directions for further development. My writing competence has improved significantly during the ten weeks of English 3001 Writing Proficiency course in such areas as grammar, use of verb tenses, and content quality.
The most serious problems I faced in writing process previously were grammar issues and poor content of the essays. To be more precise, I used to lack empirical competence in proper use of verb tenses. My confusions of tense forms destroyed all the sense of the essay, and often improper sentence structure made the result of the writing process insufficient to meet the University Writing Skills Requirements. Initially, when I tried to improve my skills in the given area, I only paid attention to the highlighted mistakes and comments of the tutor. Nonetheless, I realized it was not enough. Therefore, I changed this strategy to a more constructive one. To be more precise, I started reading more books in English and wrote essays diverse topics apart from the course tasks. It was an effective type of training since in several weeks my essays revealed particular progress which I took into consideration and continued.
I realize that it does not suffice to finally meet the University Writing Skills Requirements since this is only a fraction of real competence in writing. The next step of self-improvement the given sphere is editing that also has numerous issues and challenges to be dealt with. It means that there are two domains within the notion of writing competence, and both of them have no limits and require constant self-improvement. Therefore, my goal to meet academic requirements is only one more step in the course of acquisition of linguistic competence and capacity to master English in terms of writing essays and academic papers.
Moreover, I know that currently I need to focus more on content issues, persuasive capacity and proper use of diverse materials employed to support evidence which are crucial elements of writing papers per University requirements. On the other hand, I see that all the core problems with linguistic competence which I have faced earlier, are solved, which means that I need to focus on further self-improvement and keep constructive work in order to achieve my next targets in the field of concern. Furthermore, I have considerable progress in such important dimensions of academic paper construction as thesis development, use of testimony and personal observations, and alignment of different ideas into a coherent, justified and credible academic entity. Now I do not permit run-ons, excessive use of articles or comma splices to emerge in my works. It means that flaws of basic and medium level are dealt with, and further self-de.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Source Manager lists every source ever entered on your
computer so that
you can reuse them in any other document. This is useful, for
example, if you
write research papers that use many of the same sources. If you
open a
document that includes citations, the sources for those citations
appear under
Current list. All the sources that you have cited, either in
previous documents or
in the current document, appear under Master list.

Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students increase their
understanding of the concept of Protecting Personal Information
(PPI) and other ethical issues related to the use of information
technology through research, and 2) learn to correctly
incorporate citations and references in APA format. Students
may use the tools and techniques within Word to format the
research paper, including use of the References and citation
tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a student’s
academic career. The paper will require a title page, NO
abstract, three to four full pages of content with incorporation
of a minimum of 3 external resources from credible sources and
a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and similar general
information sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered
creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of
the paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an
external source.
A list of topics from which students can choose is provided
below.
Topics for Research Paper
1.
1. Social Engineering – what it is, how it is used, and potential
positive and negative impacts on individuals and on society
1. Employee Monitoring – why and how it is used, the legal
13. issues surrounding its use, and impacts on employer and
employee
1. Biometrics – various implementations and the ethical and
privacy issues related to the use of biometrics
1. Use of Cookies – what they are, how they are used, and
potential positive and negative impacts
1. What are the privacy laws related to Information Technology
use and how do they impact you personally?
1. Intellectual Property Rights; issues related to copyright, fair
use, copyright infringement, and the potential personal and
financial impacts
1. The Edward Snowden case - the dilemma between the
"Official Secrets Act" versus a perceived duty to share versus
the damage it may do to national security.
1. The Apple vs. FBI controversy over unlocking the iPhone
If there is another topic that addresses ethical issues as related
to information technology that is of special interest to you but
one that is not in the list above, request permission from your
instructor before selecting this alternate topic.
Writing Quality for the Research Paper
* All Grammar, Verb Tenses, Pronouns, Spelling, Punctuation,
and Writing Competency should be without error.
* Be particularly careful about mis-matching a noun and
pronoun. For example, if you say "A person does this…" then
do not use "their" or "they" when referring to that person.
"Person" is singular; "their" or "they" is plural.
* Remember: there is not their, your is not you're, its is not it's,
too is not to or two, site is not cite, and who should be used
after an individual, not that. For example, "the person WHO
made the speech" not "the person THAT made the speech."
* In a professional paper one does not use contractions
14. (doesn't, don't, etc.) and one does not use the personal I,you or
your. Use the impersonal as in the previous sentence. It is more
business-like to say "In a professional paper one should not use
contractions," rather than saying, "In a professional paper you
don't use contractions."
*Remember: spell-check, then proofread. Better yet, have a
friend or colleague read it before submitting it. Read it out loud
to yourself. Read it as if you are submitting it to your boss.
You can find instructions on how to use the References tool in
Word on a PC or on a Mac in the separate file attached here.
