Professional Development- Integrative StudiesMichael Rendon
Michael Rendon is applying to join the U.S. Navy as an aviation officer. He is set to graduate from Texas Tech University in May 2015 with a degree in University Studies with concentrations in Exercise and Sport Science, Media and Communication Strategies, and Organizational Leadership. Rendon has worked various jobs while maintaining above a 3.3 GPA and is currently working towards obtaining his private pilot's license to become a more competitive candidate. His reference, Jeanne Cleary, commends his dedication, work ethic, and eagerness to learn.
The document discusses integrative studies and how it allows students to combine knowledge and skills from multiple disciplines. It provides examples of Renaissance figures like Da Vinci who excelled in diverse fields. The author explains their concentrations in exercise science, media/communication, and organizational leadership and how these relate to a potential career in the Navy. They argue more exploration of fields should be allowed to help students find the right major, suggesting trying each discipline for a semester or choosing after sophomore year.
The document discusses different protocols used in the data link layer for reliable transmission of data over noisy channels. It describes the simplest protocol with no error control, as well as stop-and-wait, go-back-N, and selective repeat ARQ protocols. Stop-and-wait protocol ensures only one frame is transmitted at a time using acknowledgments. Go-back-N allows transmitting multiple frames before waiting for ACKs but retransmits all subsequent frames if one is lost. Selective repeat ARQ allows out-of-order frame delivery to avoid unnecessary retransmissions. Sliding windows and sequence numbers are used for flow control and ensuring frames are received in the correct order.
The document summarizes key sources related to the impacts and effects of the Affordable Care Act across two disciplines: medicine and economics. For medicine, sources discuss how the ACA's regulations have caused physicians to leave independent practice for hospitals to avoid accountability under new organizations like ACOs. In economics, sources estimate the ACA could reduce the federal deficit by insuring 34 million more people, but that costs are hard to predict and small businesses may struggle with higher premiums. Overall, the resources present different views on the ACA's actual and projected impacts on health care and the economy.

Utilizing screencasts to maximize vocabulary learningKate Finegan
This document discusses using screencasts to maximize vocabulary learning. It reviews studies showing that active engagement, such as writing sentences using new words, leads to greater learning than passive activities like reading. The document outlines the key elements of an effective screencast for vocabulary, including definitions, images, examples from language corpora, and questions. Screencasts are presented as one tool among many for teaching vocabulary.
Snape functions in the Harry Potter series similarly to the satan character in the Old Testament Book of Job. Snape constantly accuses and criticizes Harry, testing his integrity and courage, just as the satan tests Job. Through Snape's adversarial role, Harry is given opportunities to prove his abilities and virtues, and is positively influenced despite disliking Snape. Snape also accuses other characters like Draco Malfoy and Gilderoy Lockhart, the latter of whom succumbs to Snape's accusations when his false celebrity is exposed, unlike the humble celebrity that is Harry Potter.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This document provides annotations for four sources that examine the issue of internet child pornography from different perspectives.
The first source discusses how laws can target producers at the top of the liability chain. The second source explains how child pornography has existed for centuries but the internet exacerbated the problem, and it will take a team effort to address it. The third source argues that stricter economic penalties could deter viewing of such materials. The fourth source examines psychological reasons given by offenders, such as risk-taking, sexual gratification, and means for blackmail.
Michael Rendon outlines his short-term and long-term goals. His short-term goals are to raise his GPA to 3.0, obtain a private pilot's license, and effectively manage his time. His long-term goals include becoming a U.S. Navy officer, obtaining an MBA, and owning his own business. He believes concentrating in Exercise and Sport Science, Media and Communication Strategies, and Interdisciplinary Studies will help him achieve his goals of becoming a naval aviator and developing as a well-rounded "Renaissance man".
This document discusses distributed database systems. It defines centralized, distributed, and decentralized database systems. The key topics covered include distributed database management systems (DDBMS), advantages and disadvantages of DDBMS, distributed database design involving data fragmentation, replication and allocation, functions of a DDBMS, types of DDBMS including homogeneous and heterogeneous, and database transparency and gateways. The document is presented by a group with members Zupash, Sana, Marhaba and a group leader Hira Anwar.
