...the transmitting and acceptances of things like thunderclouds and grass and the clean granite of reality. Art is both love and friendship and understanding: the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of things. It is more than kindness, which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is a recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the interrelations of these." — Ansel Adams, Love, Art, Life, Spirit, Light, Beauty, World "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." — Aristotle Part 1 -How did you gain an awareness and understanding of art and art forms? I guess it would have started in elementary school – you were taught at a young age how to view it and appreciate it. -Did you have self-awareness as experienced by the quote above by Ansel Adams? I believe that quote can pertain to your everyday life not just in the appreciation of art. I think if people applied the principles of this thought to everyday life their lives would be more fulfilling. -Was there a teacher that impressed on you key art concepts? Honestly no, I didn’t do very well in art in school and I think that was due to the fact I really wasn’t mature enough to appreciate it. -Did you visit a museum as a field trip? Yes, in middle school. -Did your...

...ECON224- Unit 1 DB Cheri Bolin July 19, 2011 Proponents of free market systems argue that free enterprise leads to more efficient production and better response to changing consumer preferences. Others point to the fact that markets are not perfect. Before beginning my classes, I really hadn’t thought about the economy other than the hardships it has brought my family and I over the past several years. After completing Microeconomics I had a bigger picture of the “small” part of our economic system. The inner workings of our economy and its effects on our country as a whole, somewhat fascinated me. I really do not know much about free markets or free enterprise but what I do know, I do have an opinion on. I agree yes- free markets are not perfect but with that said, I believe that is why they work so well. Now, there are some good and bad qualities of a free market and enterprise, just like everything else in this country. In my opinion, other markets and enterprises, such as protected or forced markets are incorrect. When individuals put decisions, basically our well-being, in the hands of our government and politicians, they are asking to be told what, when and how to live their lives. Now don’t get me wrong, I do believe that there are some great laws, we have in place but most of them are downright ignorant. If we had the choice as individuals whether we would prefer a free market and enterprise, I am sure that 75% of the U.S. would be all for it. The ability to...

...The importance of knowing the terms that are associated with the different body systems are essential due to the fact that they all work together and affect each other. A patient can have an ailment that pertains to a specific system and be caused by another system. A person in the medical field must have knowledge of the causes and effects of each system and the terms to know what is causing what. The different body systems all work together and rely on each other. For example the Circulatory system is the part of the body that carries food, oxygen, and water to the body cells and removes wastes (Marshall, 2004). This system consists of the heart, blood, arteries, veins, capillaries, spleen, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels. (Marshall, 2004). All of these are an example of how they work together to provide the essential needs to survive. Another example is the Respiratory system is what gives the body air to supply oxygen to cells through the blood and eliminates carbon dioxide (Marshall, 2004). This system consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs (Marshall, 2004). Again this goes to show how they work together to provide the essential need to survive. Remembering any medical terms can be difficult, but there are ways for people to memorize medical terms and it can make it a bit easier. There are many different answers to this everyone has a different way of learning and retaining information. Some may learn from writing it down while others learn...

There is a story that has to unfold allowing the law enforcement to place them self in the scene and solve the problem as the best of their abilities. In the start of the interview, there are questions asked to make the person more comfortable this lets the official learn how the person will react to the information and look into the person’s ways.

...Introduction to Operating Systems and Client/Server Environments IT140-1601A-01 Unit 1 – Discussion Board 2 January 6, 2016 Operating Systems Operating Systems (OS) are the key to managing your computer’s software, hardware, processes and memory (GCF Global, 1998-2016). Without it your computer wouldn’t be able to run various programs that need access to volatile information. As technology advances, we need various OSs that can handle the newer computers. Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X and Linux are OSs used on personal computers today and now use a GUI (graphical user interface) where everything can be managed using a click of the mouse (GCF Global, 1998-2016). Back in the old days computers used a CLI (command-line interface) where the user had to physically type in commands using the keyboard in order to pull up information. Icons and Images weren’t developed for use until later on so all you would see on the screen is text with CLI OSs. There are multiple versions of OS because every information systems and processor architecture requires various specifications (Byron, 2009). Most people are familiar with Windows which was created in the mid-1980s by Microsoft (MS). We have all had different versions including (but not limited to) Windows 98, 2000, XP, 7, 8 and Vista. There are also three editions you can choose from; Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate though you are going to pay more for certain packages (GCF Global, 1998-2016)...

...Quantitative Methods and Analysis Unit 1 DB Leonidas Murembya July 22, 2013 My first choice is the face-to-face data collection method.The population health surveys trend to rely on five main methods of data collection, the one that I am doing is the Face-to-Face interview. Most of them in this study chose to do the face-to-face interview. The face-to-face is also known as FTF. The face-to-face interview method was done on the Population Surveys of Children’s Health and Wellbeing: Parental Views on Data Collection Content and Methods. (Waters, E., Davis, E (Nee Maher) & Mehmet-Radji, O., 2005-206). The face-to-face interview method could be done one on one or in a group setting. This study had been done on a group from Australian families with the children ranging from zero to twelve years of age. The face-to-face interview method is on their health status in which it has four subgroups for it, one is the health and wellbeing, the second one is the growth and development, third one is the mortality, the fourth one is morbidity and disability, as well as the fifth one is the safety and security. However, other professionals, such as doctors, do other studies and then there are also other kinds of face-to-face interview methods as well depending on what they are looking for in the child. There are several pros and cons for a face-to-face interview method. The cons would be that you would have a variety of communication (technology) (Editorial Board 2012). Then you would...

...Windows 7 comes with a utility called the disk management utility which will allow you to create, resize, and delete hard disk partitions on the fly without having to boot into a special disk utility. The Disk Management utility can only manage file systems compatible with Windows operating systems, such as FAT16/FAT32 and NTFS. Let’s say you want to make a partition smaller so you can create another partition on a hard drive this utility will allow you to do so. ScanDisk- A DOS utility included only in Windows 95/98/ME it is used to scan the suface ofthe hard disk and repair errors on the hard drive scan disk scans for lost clusters on the hard drive and turns them into .chk files. Chkdisk -is a command line program that also scans the hard drive and looks for lost clusters on the hard disk. It reports the current amount of free memory and disk space. If you use the chkdsk /f command which is Chkdsk with the /f = fix command it reclaims the lost clusters and turns them into .CHK files. FDisk- Is a program that runs in MS-DOS and non-NT versions of Windows and creates partitions on the hard drive Windows 95b first added support for FAT-32 partitions into fdisk. Before that it only supported partitions up to 2 GB using FAT-16.

Some useful relationships to remember when working with logarithms are: 1. y = 10x then log10 ( y ) = x 2. log ( xy ) = log ( x ) + log ( y ) ⎛x⎞ 3. log ⎜ ⎟ = log ( x ) − log ( y ) ⎝ y⎠ ( ) 4. 10 log x n = n10 log( x ) Intensity Level In the last lesson, we defined the time average intensity in relation to the time average or rms pressure as well as the maximum acoustic pressure. p2 p2 I = = max 2ρc ρc The intensity is a useful quantity because it quantifies the power in an acoustic wave, but because of the large variation in magnitudes of Intensity, it is more useful to use logarithms to compare intensities. The below table demonstrates the wide variation in Intensity for typical sounds in air. We will start by defining a new quantity, L, the intensity level, which has units of dB.

These voltage signals, which are functions of time, are referred to as sound pressure signals. It is necessary to have knowledge of the frequency composition of these signals. Fourier Series and the Fourier Transform can be used to mathematically relate functions in the time and frequency domains. The use of these relationships in the practical frequency analysis of signals will not be discussed in detail in this course. A less mathematical and more physical description of elementary frequency analysis is given in this section. The purpose of an elementary frequency analysis is to determine how the “strengths” of the components of the sound pressure are distributed as a function of frequency. Consider first...

...The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
