...makes the toy quite easy to make. It is an ancient mechanical device used for ceremonial purposes and as a toy. It is an object in the middle of a cord and can be made to buzz by winding the cord while keeping the end stationary. The object moves by pulling and releasing the tension on the cord. The most common way that it was made was with a large button and some string. History of the toy As children in the 1950's, this was a favorite toy. It is interactive and although it doesn't seem to do much, the hypnotic whirring and the pulling to keep it moving kept us busy for a long time. There are several different kinds of spinning tops. In East Asia the conventional way of spinning the top is by using a string. By the late 16th century, tops like these were being used by adults in Britain. The Museum has a varied collection of spinning tops, humming tops and gyroscopes. A number of optical toys was developed in the early 19th century and it is used as spinning to create moving pictures. One of these is the zoetrope invented in 1834. It consists of a metal drum pierced by a series of thin vertical slots. Paper strips, depicting a moving figure or object, are placed inside. When the child spins the drum and looks through the slots, the pictures appear to move. This is due to the principle of “persistence of vision”; the brain remembers what the eye has seen for a fraction of a second and so “pieces together” the separate pictures.

...5 common Personal Interview (PI) questions for distance MBA graduates Nowadays, as the demand for MBA graduates through the distance learning mode has increased, many working professionals seek to upgrade their academic qualifications for a better career.

...getting ahead in the world of television news. Today, there is a very slow, if any, gain in the numbers of women who succeed. There are many questions surrounding the subject of women in television news, and I will attempt to answer relevant ones in this paper. How have the women that actually make it to the top and succeed as anchorwomen, done it? What does it take to make it? Why do those few endure it/enjoy it? Why has it been and still is difficult for women? What are the expectations of women in the field, as opposed to the expectations of men? I am interested in this topic because I once aspired to become a television broadcaster. I still have inspiration in me, but not quite as much due to the negative and discouraging aspects I have heard about in classes and in the media. I am not sure that I could be happy in a career such as this, and I know there are great difficulties in "making it" in this profession. I have read about the incredible ambition of successful females in television news, and it seems like it takes a special kind of passion to want to keep up in the business. I kept my questions in mind when gathering research material. While focusing on the key questions, I was able to find information that led me to form answers to them. Christine Craft's biography told of her individual experience of being fired on the basis of her looks and her age. I realized from reading her story that she had a "nose for news", a passion for telling it to the...

I think it would make sure I get everything that I need to know. Next the book talks about making a study guide for your classes.

...The Big Interview Lesson 1 – Job Interview Fundamentals In this lesson, I learned about the many types of interviews and how to approach them all. I’ve done just about every interview listed. With the one-on-one, group, phone and video interviews, I did well on them. I also did well on the panel interview I had 2 years ago. I was afraid but I just treated it like it was a simple one-on-one but made sure I interacted with both interviewers. I have to remember that I’m in the drivers’ seat when it comes to interviewing. I will use this information obtain the goal of going in for the kill and take the job you so rightly deserve and qualify for. Lesson 2 – Job Interview Best Practices and Common Mistakes In Lesson 2, I’ve learned about the best practices, mistakes and what to wear on the interview. Being concise, confident, and interested are must haves on an interview. Staying on the message/topic whilst answering questions will also help you along in the interview process as well. Be prepared, be on time, and always be respectful because first impressions are everything in an interview. Avoid the 3 big mistakes that people are liable to make during an interview: don’t be late, be sure to do research on the company and position for which you have applied and lastly don’t avoid questions. I also learned about answering inappropriate/illegal questions. I never experienced that in an interview but now I know what to look out for and how to handle myself. I will be utilizing...

...question. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student claimed he should receive a perfect score and would if the system were not set up against the student. The instructor and the student agreed to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected. I went to my colleague's office and read the examination question: "Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer." The student had answered: "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building." I pointed out that the student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really answered the question completely and correctly. On the other hand, if full credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in his physics course. A high grade is supposed to certify competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try at answering the question. I was not surprised that my colleague agreed, but I was surprised when the student did. I gave the student six minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. At the end of five minutes, he had not written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said no. He had many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best...
