Obesity is defined as having a body mass index of 30 or higher, which means carrying too much weight for a person's height. Obesity can result from not exercising enough and not eating a balanced diet. Obesity increases the risks of heart disease, certain cancers, and type 2 diabetes.
The document discusses four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio) and how they relate to different types of data. It then covers topics in descriptive statistics including frequency distributions, measures of central tendency (mode, median, mean), and measures of dispersion (variance and standard deviation). Key points are that nominal variables use the mode, ordinal variables use the median, and interval/ratio variables use the mean. Variance and standard deviation quantify how spread out values are from the mean.
Teens have a strong attachment to their mobile phones, with nearly half feeling they couldn't survive without them. Most teens (75%) have cell phones and 88% text daily, with one in three sending over 100 texts per day. However, extensive mobile phone and texting use may be harming teens' communication skills, vocabulary, writing ability, and contributing to issues like sleep deprivation and failing grades. While texting provides benefits like multitasking and fun social interaction, it can also replace face-to-face communication and distract students in the classroom.
Social media and new technologies like social networking sites and text messaging are changing how people communicate and form interpersonal relationships. Researchers are interested in studying these effects because social networking sites allow people to get to know one another without nonverbal cues. Some criticisms argue that texting may not be true interpersonal communication. Studies have found that spending more time on voice calls is linked to less relationship uncertainty and more love and commitment, and that women tend to use Facebook to maintain existing relationships while men use it to form new connections.
This powerpoint presentation outlines different fields of science and explains why the author wants to become a scientist. It discusses archeology, where archeologists discover lost civilizations using equipment like field rations and tents. Paleontology is described as discovering fossils and ancient dinosaur bones. Meteorology is defined as the study of weather which helps keep people safe. The conclusion restates that science fascinates the author and is the reason they want to pursue a scientific career.

The UCLA Broadcast News Archive is an expanding archive of over 150,000 television news programs that have been captured, digitized, and made searchable through closed captions and other metadata. The archive grows by about 1 terabyte per month. It utilizes a complex technical infrastructure for ingesting, encoding, storing, indexing, and delivering vast amounts of audiovisual content and associated data. Users can search the archive and view authorized video clips through a web interface.
This document discusses research on the time required to develop and deliver online courses compared to traditional face-to-face teaching. It reviews 3 studies that did not account for the design and development time required for online courses. The document indicates that whether online teaching takes more time than traditional teaching is unclear and more research is needed, including surveys and qualitative studies that consider all aspects of online course creation and delivery.
This document discusses different aspects of Star Trek including famous quotes, starship types, captains, and asking for the reader's opinion. It mentions the famous quote "Space, the final frontier" and references captains like Janeway, Picard, Kirk, and Archer who take risks and sometimes have to sneak during attacks. It also briefly describes different types of starships like galaxy ships, shuttles, and war ships but notes space stations are the least likely type of ship.
This document discusses NewsScape, an archive of international television news maintained by UCLA. It contains over 196,000 news program recordings from over 20 sources captured since 2010. Programs are digitized, analyzed, and indexed with closed captions and images to enable search and access.
