Snap back, im at work there is nothing I can do but retweet a few of my friends, But something still bothers me, this mans life is about to END I am about to witness a murder….

Epekta Persuasive Speech

...work so I don't blame him for not doing so. Instead he could have just counted the nomination with the most likes and not counted the rest. Unfortunetly he didn't do any of that, he throw out all the votes. We wouldn't have been happy, but if we didn't follow the rules we didn't follow the rules. What he did do was declare campaigning for votes to be cheating and he petitioned other sites to throw out Ben Skywalker votes. And 6 other sites did despite no rules had been broken on voting on their sites. Sorry that was rather a lot. I find this entire situation to be outragous and personally I would think anyone would. It would be a big step forward in helping convince the movement that you aren't out to subvert it. Brian has discussed your convo with the auxilary members of the Twin Suns Foundation and I have done what I can to support that you should be given an opportunity and that he had already taken the first steps.

...RESEARCH SHOWING DIFFERENCES IN STM+LTM:4 Shallice and Warrington reported the case study of K.F. who as a result of an accident had a reduced STM of only one or two digits and a recency effect of one item. Yet his LTM for events after the accident was normal, supporting the idea of separate short and long-term stores. DESCRIBE THE WMM:4 Baddeley and Hitch proposed the Working Memory Model (WMM), the basis of their model was that the STM was not just one single store but in fact is made up of several components. The first element to their model is the central executive (CE), which coordinates all the information the memory working memory system, receives. It decides where to send incoming information, which is received from the senses or the LTM and has to do this efficiently as it has limited capacity. There are three slave systems, which operate under the CE, one of which is the Phonological Loop (PL). The PL stores any information, which the individual hears, like an inner ear, and uses the inner voice to silently repeat the information the individual has heard or seen (maintenance rehearsal). Another slave system is the visuo-spatial sketchpad, which is used for planning spatial tasks and temporarily storing visual or spatial information. The final slave system is the episodic buffer Information from the CE and the LTM can be stored in the episodic buffer to create a complete memory, which can then be transferred to the LTM for more permanent storage.
