This document discusses the difference between a summary and an analysis. A summary explains the overall events or plot of a story at a broad level without details, while an analysis examines specific details and themes to develop an interpretation. The key difference is that a summary focuses on what happens, while an analysis focuses on why through exploring imagery, themes, or underlying messages. Both have important purposes, but a summary should not include analysis and vice versa.
The document provides an overview of key employment law updates from 2015, covering areas such as the national minimum wage, holiday pay, sickness absence, discrimination, disciplinary procedures, collective issues, and restrictive covenants. National minimum wage rates increased in October 2015 and the National Living Wage will be introduced in April 2016. Recent court cases have expanded the definition of working time and what payments must be included in holiday pay calculations. New sickness absence policies and discrimination protections regarding obesity were also noted.
The document provides a lesson plan for teaching math concepts in English using CLIL methodology. The lesson introduces counting to young students through four activities: 1) reviewing numbers and shapes, 2) using an online math game, 3) having students practice the game independently, and 4) creating their own math activities. The first activity was successful in motivating students, but some struggled with concepts like counting up/down. Additional practice was added to prepare for the online game. All students actively participated in the game and demonstrated understanding of the objectives, which included identifying numbers, counting, and following instructions.
The document discusses a construction project on St. Criox Island in the Virgin Islands. The island has a delicate ecosystem containing mangrove forests that are easily fragmented and harmed by construction. The project, called RE-ASSEMBLED, aims to minimize environmental impact by using pre-assembled shipping container modules placed on elevated columns determined by the site to avoid trees. This modular, expandable design allows construction with minimal harm and future growth suited to program needs while protecting the fragile ecosystem.
This document discusses the difference between a summary and an analysis. A summary explains the overall events or storyline of a book or scene at a broad level without details, while an analysis examines specific details and themes to develop an interpretation. The key difference is that a summary focuses on what happens, while an analysis focuses on why something occurs by picking apart details and underlying messages. Both a summary and analysis serve different purposes, and the two should not be interchanged.
The document provides a lesson plan for teaching math concepts in English to young students using CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodology.

Online dating involves searching for romantic or sexual partners on the internet, usually through dedicated websites. It has become a very popular way to meet people, with over 15 million users on eHarmony and over 21 million on Match.com in the United States alone. While online dating allows people to meet others with shared interests from a wide geographic range, some studies have found that up to 1 in 4 profiles on dating websites may be from people who are already married. The popularity of online dating continues to grow rapidly, with some research predicting that over half of couples will meet online within the next 20 years.
This document summarizes research on online dating. It discusses the popularity and growth of online dating services, with 45 million Americans visiting sites in 2003 and 1 in 5 singles and couples meeting online. It also covers attitudes toward online dating, deception in profiles, and strategies used. Research found some lies about physical characteristics but they were small. Overall, online dating is seen as a good way to meet people and not desperate. It stems from needs to find partners and is facilitated by Internet use.
Online dating allows individuals to contact and communicate with each other over the Internet with the goal of developing personal, romantic, or sexual relationships. It provides an unmoderated matchmaking service through personal computers and cell phones. Some reasons people use online dating include being single, curiosity about meeting new people, and wanting a cheap way to chat and share feelings. However, there are also downsides like being misled by inaccurate online profiles, wasting time, having too many irrelevant choices, and risking rude or unsafe behavior from strangers with low accountability. To stay safe, it's best to use subscription-based dating services, protect your identity, watch for inconsistent information, and only meet dates in public places.

This study aims to examine how semantic knowledge impacts verbal short-term memory. It is hypothesized that short-term memory of words is better maintained when an individual has knowledge of the sounds and meanings of presented words. Previous research has found that semantic manipulations, like word perceptibility, affect recall, as do neuropsychological studies of word recall deficits. This suggests long-term semantic knowledge facilitates recall, either through redintegration, which uses long-term lexical knowledge to reconstruct items, or through temporary activation of long-term linguistic representations prior to recall. The current study will test this at the phoneme level through nonword recall tasks.
This document discusses social networks and social network analysis. It begins by defining a network as a set of nodes connected by communication for information exchange. It then defines a social network as the social structure between individuals or organizations through social connections ranging from casual to close.

It acknowledges that while social networks can help people connect and share interests, they also pose privacy and security risks if personal information is shared. In the end, it concludes that social networks can be good for society if proper precautions are taken, but individuals must make their own choice about participating based on their judgment and experiences.

The document discusses the rise of internet-savvy health consumers, particularly young people, turning to online sources for medical information and advice. A survey found that six in ten online patients access blogs, news sites, hospital rankings, and other medical information on peer-generated and professional sites. An almost parallel online medical industry is emerging that provides consultation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention advice via chat, phone, or video call without needing to visit a doctor in person. This trend is driven by the convenience of online access to specialists without delays, queues, or high fees associated with in-person visits. Users appreciate the anonymity and candor it allows for better diagnoses.

2. The Brief
We were approached by the Center
of Disease Control to create a design
intervention that addresses unhealthy norms
and attitudes that perpetuate the spread of
Sexually Transmitted Infections.
Online dating is quickly becoming a go-to
platform for setting up encounters with new
partners. While it is not proven that online
dating is the main cause for the rise in STI
cases over the last ten years, there are
several studies that investigate its role.*

9. Fear Mongering
The agencies that serve the public health
sector often employ visual media that
discourages their target demographic in
from engaging in the activities that could
put them at risk.
It may be easier to convey messages of NO
rather than YES, however they do not foster
a healthy dialog about the activities that
people will be engaging regardless
