...sources. It also taps into Nathans desire to do well and love of gymnastics or personal motivation. Personal examples are given on each theory by the author. Nathan Learning Theories Approaches There are three well know learning theories, behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism all of which provide valuable methods of teaching students. Each of these theories will be hypothetically applied to a story called, “Nathan the Gymnast”. A brief summary of the story is Nathan has natural gymnastic talent from a very young age. He was inspired to be a gymnast when he watched the Olympics so his parents enrolled him in gymnastic classes and soon the coach saw his talent and wanted to take him to competitions, which Nathan wanted to do, and his parents agreed. He is good at everything but doesn’t like the pommel horse so he doesn’t practice it unless his parents make him. At the competitions he does well on everything but the pommel horse. By the second year of competitions he is winning medals on everything but still not the pommel horse even though his parents bought him a practice home version called a mushroom. Nathan’s father used a...

...Guns, Germs and Steel Page 1 GUNS, GERMS, AND STEEL: The Fates of Human Societies By Jared Diamond, 1997 About the Author: Jared Diamond is a professor of physiology at UCLA School of Medicine. He is a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship and was awarded a 1999 National Medal of Science. He is also the author of The Third Chimpanzee. SUMMARY The book asks and attempts to answer the question, once humankind spread throughout the world, why did different populations in different locations have such different histories? The modern world has been shaped by conquest, epidemics, and genocide, the ingredients of which arose first in Eurasia. The book’s premise is that those ingredients required the development of agriculture. Agriculture also arose first in Eurasia, not because Eurasians were superior in any way to people of other continents, but because of a unique combination of naturally occurring advantages, including more and more suitable wild crops and animals to domesticate, a larger land mass with fewer barriers to the spread of people, crops, and technology, and an east-west axis which meant that climate was similar across the region. The book is well written and contains not only information about the history of cultures around the world, but excellent descriptions of the scientific methodologies used to study them, from how archeologists study the origin of agriculture to how writing evolved to how linguistics can trace the movements of peoples across huge geographic...

... the peyote seeking people returned to the area that had one fruit of peyote. Amazingly, there were large walls of cacti that were covered in peyote fruit. Their adherence to the peyote man’s warning had rewarded them with a large harvest of peyote. In summary, peyote usage is purely medicinal and spiritual. It is not a recreational drug, nor is it one that is abused or taken for granted by the Comanche. Ronald “Ron” Parker Interview, 25 March 2017 Ron Parker is the great grandson of Chief Quanah Parker, who served as an infantry officer in Vietnam. Ron presents the history of Comanche and of his great grandfather at events that respect the heritage of the Comanche. Ron is a descendant from a separate wife of Quanah. As in the other interviews, Ron presented Parker with love and respect based upon oral histories handed down to him by his relatives. Interestingly enough, the interview revealed a slightly different position on which Quanah’s successes with the United States government and its European-American people. Quanah lost his mother and father at age ten. His mother was re-captured by Texas Rangers and his father was wounded and eventually died of his wounds. Quanah was raised thereafter by many families and bands which gave him a very broad Comanche education from many perspectives. Quanah, developing as a Comanche leader, felt that he should look after the welfare of the People and refused to participate in the Medicine Lodge Treaty that required Native American...

...pronounced a curse on the hunter. But the words of the curse left his mouth in the form of a shloka-verse. Then the god Brahma appeared and bade the poet sing of the deeds of Rama in this very meter. Book I: Bala-Kanda (The Chapter on Rama as a Youth) In the land of the Kosalas (north of the Ganges), in the city of Ayodhya, there ruled a king named Dasharatha, who was mighty and wise, but still childless. The court advisor urged him to offer an imperial horse-sacrifice. The sage Rishyashringa, as the chief priest of this great sacrifice, includes an especially powerful offering rite that can cause the begetting of sons. When the offerings had been placed in the fire, the remnants were divided between the kings wives, who ate them. Just at that time the gods in heaven were much troubled by Ravana, the ten-headed demon king of Lanka. They therefore turned to Lord Vishnu, begging him to take human form in order to defeat Ravana. Vishnu agrees and resolves to be born on earth as the son of Dasharatha. So, after the horse-sacrifice was concluded, the three wives of King Dasharatha bore him four sons: Kausalya bore Rama (in whom Vishnu had incarnated himself), Kaikeyi bore Bharata, Sumitra bore Lakshmana and Shatrughna. Of these four princes Rama, the eldest, was his father’s favorite, and from his youth, Lakshmana was deeply devoted to his elder brother. He was like Rama’s second self, and fulfilled all his wishes even before they were uttered. As the grew up princes, were trained...

...is a mixture of indigenous foreign countries. The United States occupied the Islands in 1898 until 1946, and introduced American blues folk music, Rock &Blues, and rock and roll became popular. In the late 1950s, native performers adapted Tagalog lyrics for North American rock and roll music, resulting in the seminal origins of Philippine rock. The most notable achievement in Philippine rock of the 1960s was the hit song "Killer Joe," which propelled the group "Rocky Fellers" which reached number sixteen on the American radio charts. Up until the 1970s, popular rock musicians began writing and producing in English. In the early 1970s, rock music began to be written using local languages, with bands like the Juan Dela Cruz Band being among the first popular bands to do so. Mixing tagalog, and English lyrics.

...07/10/12 Karla Roman Ms karigian “of mice and men” book summary The novel opens with two men, George Milton and Lennie Small, walking to a nearby ranch where harvesting jobs are available. George, the smaller man, leads the way and makes the decisions for Lennie, a mentally handicapped giant. They stop at a stream for the evening, deciding to go to the ranch in the morning. Lennie, who loves to pet anything soft, has a dead mouse in his pocket. George takes the mouse away from Lennie and reminds him of the trouble Lennie got into in the last town they were in — he touched a girl's soft dress. George then reminds Lennie not to speak to anyone in the morning when they get to the ranch and cautions Lennie to return to this place by the river if anything bad happens at the ranch. When he has to take the dead mouse away from Lennie a second time, George chafes at the hardship of taking care of Lennie. After calming his anger, George relents and promises Lennie they will try to find him a puppy; then he tells Lennie about their dream of having a little farm where they can be their own boss and nobody can tell them what to do, where Lennie will tend their rabbits, and where they will "live off the fatta the lan'." Lennie has heard this story so often he can repeat it by heart. And George emphasizes that this dream and their relationship make them different from other guys who don't have anyone or a place of their own. They settle down and sleep for the night. The...

...Lawrence was comparing his ideology to someone who was just visiting America and not seeing it for how it truly is. In a way, Lawrence was viewing America from a modern and more realistic eye. He saw the truth about the cultural struggles and thus criticized Cooper for not exposing and portraying a more accurate version of the country. Cooper’s version of America is much more romantic than the real world and thus makes for a more interesting story-telling location. Since it is romanticized, there are much more grand landscapes and beautiful sceneries most likely similar to the way that the Native Americans viewed early America before the white man came and corrupted it. This view of America is also reflected in the song “A Horse with No Name” by the band America. In this song, it tells a narrative of a man exploring a land that is assumed to be the plains of America. The narrator can be compared to a Judge Temple like character who decides to go out and explore the wilderness to see what it’s all about. The journey begins with the narrator escaping from civilization to explore the world, he is singing about how wonderful the scenery is. He brings little with him as if he were a simple settler first visiting America and exploring everything. As his journey wears on, he realizes the truth about the natural world. The more he saw the unfiltered natural world, the more he began to see it’s inherent beauty. This is similar to Captain John Smith in Pocahontas who started out adventuring...

...An Overview of Computer Viruses in a Research Environment Matt Bishop Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Dartmouth College Hanover, NH 03755 ABSTRACT The threat of attack by computer viruses is in reality a very small part of a much more general threat, specifically attacks aimed at subverting computer security. This paper examines computer viruses as malicious logic in a research and development environment, relates them to various models of security and integrity, and examines current research techniques aimed at controlling the threats viruses in particular, and malicious logic in general, pose to computer systems. Finally, a brief examination of the vulnerabilities of research and development systems that malicious logic and computer viruses may exploit is undertaken. 1. Introduction A computer virus is a sequence of instructions that copies itself into other programs in such a way that executing the program also executes that sequence of instructions. Rarely has something seemingly so esoteric captured the imagination of so many people; magazines from Business Week to the New England Journal of Medicine [39][48][60][72][135], books [20][22][31][40][50][67][83][90][108][124], and newspaper articles [85][91][92][94][114][128] have discussed viruses, applying the name to various types of malicious programs. As a result, the term “computer virus” is often misunderstood. Worse, many who do understand it do not understand protection in computer systems, for example...

...Joan of Arc -- the seventeen-year-old peasant girl, who, as she said herself, "did not know ‘A’ from ‘B’, " but who, in a year and a month, crowned a reluctant king, rallied a broken people, reversed the course of a great war, and shoved history into a new path --what are we to make of her? The people who came after her in the five centuries since her death tried to make everything of her: demonic fanatic, spiritual mystic, naive and tragically ill-used tool of the powerful, creator and icon of modern popular nationalism, adored heroine, saint. She insisted, even when threatened with torture and faced with death by fire, that she was guided by voices from God. Voices or no voices, her achievements leave anyone who knows her story shaking his head in amazed wonder.’ Joan was born into a poor common family in the peasant village of Domrémy in the French province of Lorraine in 1412. She grew up a simple but unusually devout farm child during the height of the Hundred Years’ War. Disaster after disaster befell her native France -- the English invaders and their Burgundian allies conquered and occupied the northern half of France including Paris. Dauphin Charles VII, the rightful but un-crowned king of France, set up the remnants of his royal court at the town of Chinon. From here, this weak monarch of questionable competence tried to rule over the unoccupied rump of France. Starting in May, 1428, Joan, claiming that God was directing her through the saints, repeatedly approached...

...of the use of animals. We believe that our considerations and conclusions offer an important clarification of the debate and fulfil the request made by your predecessor, Mike O’Brien, to provide advice on this issue. Secondly, while we conclude that some uses of animals may yield scientific knowledge, we argue that this does not settle the question of justification. We go on to elucidate the full range of factors which must be considered for there to be a rigorous application of the cost-benefit assessment. Thirdly, we also consider how the practice and process of cost-benefit assessment can be enhanced so that it can be, and be seen to be, critical and comprehensive. This includes a discussion of the future use of the severity limit and band labels, as you requested of the APC in your letter of 10 February 2003. It is important that I should stress that our report does not issue in a series of neat recommendations, but in a...
