...Child Development Observation Ashlene Pillay 3212715 Athabasca University PSYC 228 Introduction to Human Development March 8, 2016 Introduction Naturalistic observation is a “measurement strategy that involves directly watching and coding behaviors.” (26) Naturalistic study is a general research strategy used by developmental scientists, “typically during childhood but also with impaired adults.”(27) Naturalistic studies are conducted in order to watch the behaviors of people, as they exist their natural environment, with no attempts at intervention from the investigator. There are no attempts of intervention so that the situation is not manipulated or controlled by the investigator, and so the situation is not initiated or created by the investigator. Naturalistic observations are useful as they allow the observation of behavior exactly as it occurs in the real world. Naturalistic studies are also useful as they can help to establish the external validity of the research findings. If behavior is seen to be present in real life, it’s easier to say that the results from the study extend to the general population and that the conclusions drawn from the sampling of behavior also describe people outside of the sample. It can also be useful for researchers to study situations and variables that cannot be manipulated in a lab due to ethical concerns. For example, while it would be unethical to study the effects of a school shooting by actually causing the event to occur...

...freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia Case study Fourth February is one day that a young Journalist from Saudi Arabia will never forget. This day brought Hamza Kashgari very dangerous consequences and shrills after a post he made on twitter on prophet Muhammad’s birthday. In his comment on an imaginary conversation with the prophet, the 23 year old Hamza wrote , “I have loved things in you, and hated others,” wrote Hamza, 23, on Twitter, in an imaginary conversation with the Prophet Muhammad, who died over a thousand years ago. “If I saw you, I would not kiss you, but extend my hand to you as any other friend, and would smile at you. But I will not pray for you.” The prophet Muhammad founded the Islam religion in Mecca more than 1400 years ago. The Muslims see him like an almost sacred person and can never be criticized and neither his works put to doubt. Therefore, the reaction that exploded from this comments can be easily understood. The post receive more than 30,000 tweets through out cyberspace and mostly attacked the young man calling him a apostate which can lead to death penalty in Saudi Arabia. A group was even formed on facebook with over 8,000 followers who asked for his death. The former columnist of the daily Al-Bilad was stunned by peoples reaction which made him remove the comments and even delete his twitter account. He then fled away from the country on 9th February but was arrested in Malaysia tried to board a board a plane to New Zealand where he had planned...

...Under the Surface I believe the American flag symbolizes unity, freedom, and a strong nation. Red represents hardiness and valor, white represents hope, purity, and innocence, and blue represent vigilance, perseverance, and justice. Since 9-11, America has been filled with hatred and the blame went on more than just a few of people but on an entire religion. Often times Muslims that has no affiliation with the attack has been categorize as terrorist. The Islamic as a whole is a great faith for one to follow but a small group associated with the religion has caused much shame to the community. Al-Qaeda is a militant Islamist organization founded by Osama bin Landen in the late 1980s, which was the terrorist organization solely responsible for the attack of 9-11. Al-Qaeda has redefined the way we look at the Islamic religion. Al-Qaeda is the reason many Americans view the Islamic religion in such a negative way and classifies all Muslims as terrorists. Al-Qaeda is a political movement with a demonstrated military ability, which has sought to bypass the state while co-opting its attributes and channeling its resources (Mohamedou 42). The organization, which coalesced in Afghanistan under the initial troika leadership of Palestinian teacher Abdallah Azzam, Egyptian surgeon Ayman al Dhawahiri, and Saudi businessman Osama Bin Laden in August 1989, was born more in context of a major international armed conflict, namely the Soviet Union’s failed take –over...

...fenerler alarak buraya girerler ve birçok yeraltı odasının olduğu, adeta bir yer altı şehri ile karşılaşırlar. Odalardan büyük olanında büyükçe bir lahit gören köylüler, hazine umudu ile kapağını açarlar. Lahitin içinde bir mumya, yanında ise büyük boy bir kitapla karşılaşırlar. Kitabı alırlar. Ayrıca o odada daha küçük boyda bir kitap daha bulurlar. İki kitabı da alarak oradan ayrılırlar. Papirüs varaklarından oluşan büyük kitabın ilk varağını koparıp, Süryani rahiplerine gösterirler. Süryani alfabeli, güzel ve düzgün yazılı sahifeyi okuyamazlar. Zira noktasız, Süryani alfabesi ile yazılmış bu metin, Arâmi dili ile yazılmıştır. Sonunda bu sahife /1984 başlarında, İstanbul'da Ön-Asya dilleri uzmanı, epigraphist Hamza Hocagil'e gönderilir. Belli bir uğraş sonrasında Hamza Bey bu metni çözer ve tercüme eder. Sahifedeki metin tercüme edildiğinde: "Ben Kıbrıslı Barnabious, bu benim, gökler/semavi yılla 48. Yılda yazdığım 4. İncil nüshasıdır. Bu, Vahyi Sâdık olan Allah'ın kulu Meryem oğlu İsa'ya vahyidir." kaydı yer alır. Barnabas, İbrani (Levili sülalesinden) ve Kıbrıslı olup, Hz. İsa (a.s) zamanında ona iman edenlerdendir.

...Shireen Ng Suet Yeen (B0802681) After having the discussion session with the guest speaker on the topic of human rights, there are some insights about it. Human rights are something that humans are born with, it is innate, and it is about our rights and what we deserve. Human rights are important to ourselves and youth work because we fight for what we deserve and get what are ours. Besides, this also gives recognition as a person. For example, people will always demand something because they think that they deserve it. This will also be motivation in our lives. People always try their best to get what they want and what they deserve. Therefore, human right is about dignity, and the rights to demand and ask. There are some examples of human rights that humans always fight for, which include health, education, shelter, basic needs, quality, and equality. One question about education that most students will be asking will be “How to increase the chance to have a degree?” This issue will not be a problem to those students who can afford the tuition fees in colleges or universities, however this may be a major issue to those students who are willing to learn but they cannot afford the tuition fees. Besides, the current situation of youths in Malaysia or other parts of the world is that they are ignorant, get involved in drug addiction, and also face poverty (indigenous). They are easily influenced by their peers or others because they look for excitement and also ways...

Have to Construct five Contrarian portfolios (Based on previous 3 years returns, accommodate those stocks which are traded at least for 30 months), report their average returns. 2. Construct zero-investment strategy. 3. Run CAPM model for this zero-investment strategy and report intercept and Beta, discuss their interpretation. 4. Find December to December returns for the KSE, Compare them with January to January returns. Contrarian Strategy and portfolio creation The Contrarian Strategy is based on the market anomaly commonly referred to as the reversal effect. The reversal effect states that over the long run, the stocks which had high returns will give lower returns, while the stocks which were giving lower returns will start to give higher returns. Therefore the contrarian strategy aims to capture the reversal effect, and take advantage of the losers, who start to give big returns to the investors. To form contrarian portfolios, the following steps have to be followed: 1. Download the monthly prices for all the stocks in the market. 2. Calculate the monthly returns of all the stocks in the market. This can be achieve by using a simple code as shows below: The logic of the code is that we...

...Hamza Saleem Pennsylvania College of Technology Introduction to Sociology 111 Instructor: June Kilgus Field Trip: November 18, 2014 The presentation delivered by Mr. Craig Miller was on “Technology, Power and Responsibility” Mr. Miller is an assistant professor of history and Political Science. He has been a faculty member at Penn College since 2011 and holds a doctorate in History from the University of Buffalo. In this speech he helped us access the responsibilities that are associated with technological innovation. To illustrate that “choices have consequences” Mr. Miller evaluates the technological, economic, environmental and cultural issues that surrounded the construction of railroads. In the beginning of the presentation he engaged the audience the same way as he challenges his students by making a real clear picture of what history teaches us by saying: “I am not here to teach you history. I am here to use history to teach you to be critical thinkers.” The presentation orbited around the construction of transcontinental railroads that served as a good connection for his statement “choices have consequences.” He revisits the challenges, costs, consequences and benefits of the railroads with an eye toward the present and future. Forcing us to examine the history of the transcontinental railway from all angles that helped to reveal the unintended consequences of historical choices we made earlier. And if we recognize the consequences it will help us to make informed...

...I was driving fast according to my passion and suddenly saw a car at my side. He gave a devilish look and kept horning as it was obvious he wanted to race. And suddenly there was an urge inside me “Let’s race”. I lowered the gear from 3rd to 2nd and pressed the gas pedal to its limit and race was begun. I was privileged as my car was Corolla 2013 and that guy had the model that would be around 2005 to 2007. I was so excited and little bit shivering as it was my first race as driver looked experienced one. I don’t know how I made it but I made him show my car’s rear bumpers till the end. That was my day for the sure. Coincidently we both stopped at that same restaurant he was with his one friend. He came to me and said “Hey! My name is Hamza and he is my friend Ibrahim” and I replied “hi! I am Faiz” after the short intro he gave me few compliments about my driving. As I was alone so that guy offered me to eat with them and I agreed. Within few minutes we were good friends and later turned out to be hanging out, racing and eating out together as 2 more guys joined us too, Shakir and Osama. Every day we used to race, drift and playing around with our cars. As the time passed we made our team and started racing other groups. There was a street race held every Friday in our city that was illegal though but no one could stop as it was done under the supervision of some corrupt powerful beings. So in the beginning month our team couldn’t go beyond the runner-up place....

Scalability is of particular interest to ad hoc network designers and users and is an issue with critical influence on capability and capacity. Where topologies include large numbers of nodes, routing packets will demand a large percentage of the limited wireless bandwidth and this is exaggerated and exacerbated by the mobility feature often resulting in a high frequency of failure regarding wireless links. In this paper we present acomprehensive survey and classification of recently published clustering algorithm, which we classify based on their objectives. We survey different clustering algoirthm for MANET's; highlighting the defining clustering, the design goals of clustering algorithms, advantages of clustering...
