...Taylor Hutson Dr. Dennis Winston English-104 13 October 2015 Writing in My Field Radio expands far beyond the bounds of hip-hop, rhythm and blues, and pop music streamed from countless stations across the nation. It is much more than mundane news, traffic and weather updates and is not limited to sports broadcasts. Much like a painted canvas radio paints a mental masterpiece, filled with life stories, musical applications and paired with contextual reporting and analysis. For me, radio grasps my mind from the familiar confines of the world around me and places me in a world far beyond anything that I have actually experienced. Accounts of how a French scuba diver nearly drowned to death in a pursuit to save the life of another diver followed by the scary reality of death among the lives of senior citizens in hospice care are only some of the many intriguing stories that inspire me write for radio broadcasting. “How A Woman’s Plan to Kill Herself Helped Her Family Grieve” written by Alex Spiegel is another story that specifically captures the listener within the confines of its broadcast. Sandy Bem had Alzheimer’s disease—a disease that corrupts the mind’s capacity to remember important family members, read, and write. This disease left Sandy feeling helpless and depressed, later causing her to “commit” suicide—assisted suicide. As Sandy’s health began to deteriorate her feelings of helplessness grew to the point of despair. After wallowing in sadness for countless months...

...I hope this email finds you well. I am building the portfolio of my first internship field placement and off book knowledge because the second field placement supervisor refused to give me clients. She was dealing with major issues from the office where she hired me to work. Therefore, I ended up working in her private practice instead of where she hired me to work. After she took too long to give me my assignment (s) I asked her when she was going to give me clients. She stated I did not qualified to see clients. Consequently, I was going to find another placement. However, when I called my field liaison she told me it was too late to look for a new place. Myself, field liaison and the supervisor had a phone conference and she told the field...

...Arcacia Godfrey 1/15/15 Unit 2 Assignment 2 New Technology in my field Electrical Engineers at Oregon state university have developed new technology to monitor medical vital signs, with sophisticated sensors so small and cheap they could fit onto a bandage, be manufactured in high volumes and cost less than a quarter. A patent is being processed for the monitoring system and it’s now ready for clinical trials, researchers say when commercialized, it could be used as a disposable electronic sensor with many potential applications due to its powerful performance, small size, and low cost. Heart monitoring is one obvious candidate, since the system could gather data on some components of an EKG, such as pulse rate and atrial fibrillation its ability. Its ability to measure EEG brain signals could find use in nursing care for patients with dementia. ‘’current technology allows you to measure these pulse rate and skin responses. Also the university of Utah engineers have developed a polarizing filter that allows in more light, leading the way for mobile device displays that last much longer on a single battery charge and cameras that can shoot in dim light. Polarizers are indispensable in digital photography and LCD displays, but they block enormous amounts of light wasting energy and making it more difficult to photography in low light. Thirdly Microsoft is releasing a $199 fitness band that also checks your email and even pays for coffee as the company software company seeks...

...Home Linking Technology The article is a brief informative piece about home linking technology, which is the practice of linking house hold appliances to one another and the outside world. This would all great possibilities like the one given by Maytag CEO Lloyd D. Ward, “Consumers could conceivably watch a cooking program on an interactive TV set and send the recipe to the refrigerator, which in turn sends a list of ingredients to your handy online grocer.” The article mentioned that several big name companies like Microsoft, Maytag and GE are working on joint ventures to develop this technology while others like Sunbeam have created new subsidiaries based on this technology. The information in this article was very limited. I do not think that in depth research was conducted on home linking technology before it was written. It gives a very vague idea around the technology but does not go into much detail about what’s available now or what’s realistically coming in the future. The article did cite some high ranking officials for some big name companies, they provided a grand vision for the future but no real plans or expectations. I feel that this article is a good quick look at what is possible, for someone that is uninformed. The article is too short for you to lose interest in it and get bored. The information provided is very fascinating and really captivates you into thinking about what could be possible. Works Cited Smith, E. (2000). Appliances get smart. Retrieved...

...Abstract The study of computer forensics has quickly emerged and technology used in theis type of forensics is being developed quite rapidly. As swiftly as the field and its importance are growing, many practitioners still remain unaware of computer forensics and its role in the technological world. A paper provides an overview of the relatively new field of computer forensics. The paper also illustrates why, in the wake of 9-11 and other terrorist acts, the research and development of computer forensics is of international importance. (A) I chose to write my article on computer forensics mainly because I have been involved with computer forensics numerous times in my life. The most recent experience I’ve had with computer forensics was last year. I was informed by my wife that her best friend had received a visit from DHS after their daughters had mentioned that their dad had been touching them and asking them to do things that they were uncomfortable with. DHS determined that they needed to investigate the situation and began to gather the necessary information. During the investigation my wife’s friend had noticed that her husband was starting to be very secretive and was locking up his computer anytime she walked into the room and had been using a 128 bit encrypted flash drive that he never let leave his person. He started being verbally abusive and physically abusive to both her and their 2 young daughters and she locked him out of the house. I received...

...This field trip taught me a great deal about the real consequences you can get for doing something awful. The saying "you do the crime, you do the time" real counts if you see their circumstances. The things that I learn about the people in there are some insane and something I will never forget. I assume everything I learn in there will stick with me forever. Those people live in Miami it's not like they live somewhere else that can happen to anyone it's nuts what you heard and feel. The courthouse seeing it as a citizen or a child teaches you so much. A person that works there see it as a workplace, but it's different seeing it as another person. The whole courthouse was an experience and walking through it all is different from a cop...

What I am looking for most in a university is a school has my intended major. I would like for...

...One ball, eleven sticks, one cage, and sixty minutes to achieve one common goal⸺score. Field hockey has proven to be much more than an outlet for excess energy and a vehicle for camaraderie; it has taught me irreplaceable lessons regarding leadership and teamwork. First and foremost, as captain of my winter field hockey team, responsible for organizing players, line-ups and substitution schedules, I have gained valuable knowledge on how to be an effective leader, which I apply elsewhere as well. For example, as Secretary of my high school’s chapter of National Honor Society, the organizational skills and leadership I learned through directing the winter league has proven beneficial. This year, National Honor Society is organizing a festival-like...

...When I first came into the Baltimore Lab school, I did not have a specific schedule that I was to follow because they did not have me in the system. Meanwhile, with them knowing I was from Loyola’s program they were able to place me in classes that needed extra assistance. So even though the classes I was in were not my permanent placement for me, I was able to get an idea as to how a Wednesday morning is operated. After having full contact with Brandie Sullivan, I was able to get the issues I had the previous week solved and I have my official placement. I am mainly working with students in the lower and middle school which can range from 1st grade to 8th grade. Since Wednesdays are the school’s half days, this would mean that instead of the students following a strict curriculum they are able to engage in more hands-on work and have more interaction with each other and the staff. In this case then, I am glad that I am able to be a part of the Wednesday field experience because being a psychology major, I wanted...

...Google Glass is a computer that is built on the eyeglass frame with a small screen above one eye. Its purpose to be hands free and controlled by voice command. It has a capability to take pictures, videos, it can navigate to a specific destination. Also Google Glass has the ability to search on Google web pages for images, etc. In order to perform any tasks such as make phone calls, send text massages, and navigate on web, it has to be connected to a cellular phone via Google Glass app. “But can it become a business?” (Simonite, 2013) Many people are afraid of technological progress and are very negative towards the future technology. In the article “Who’s Afraid Of Google Glass?” (Businessweek, 2013) it talks about invading people’s privacy. “One concern is that recording other people will probably get easier.” (Businessweek, 2013) Due to privacy issue a lot of places are banning such devices to be used in their facilities. Such facilities include: bars, casinos, strip clubs and court houses. All data that is being searched, pictures and videos are being generated will be stores on Google’s cloud servers. “Surely hackers will be interested in that too. So will marketers.” (Businessweek, 2013) Google is looking into security not only convenience for people so therefore there will be curtain security and privacy regulations. Google Glass is becoming next step to a new way of living. Imagine what can a computer that is 100 percent hands free can help an individual who’s disabled...

...When I first heard we would be going on a field trip to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, I was really excited. I love visiting museums in my free time and was really looking forward to exploring one I had never visited before. I could not believe that I had never been there before with it being so close to my hometown. When you stand in front of the museum, at the Lorraine Hotel, you are instantly swept back to April 4, 1968 when Martin Luther King, Jr. visited Memphis for the Sanitation worker’s strike and was killed right outside his room. I knew this would be a very unforgettable visit. The staff greeted me and seemed friendly whenever I had contact with them, although I did not see them often. We started the museum...
