A Method To Memory
.... night, but I explained
that chunking involves taking a large number or word and breaking it down into
smaller pieces that could be remembered easier. I also told her that she could
chunk together the first letters of a phrase to make it more accessible to her
memory retrieval system. I gave her the example of the New York Stock Exchange,
or N.Y.S.E. That helped her a lot, but she was concerned whether or not she
would remember it all for the final, so I told her the more rehearsing she did,
the deeper she would commit the information to memory. She was so happy, she
told me she had to go and study for this test. I had never he .....

Analysis Of The Free-Throw Shot
.... peak so then on its decent to the basket it will have a chance to go in. If
you don't get it higher than ten feet it has no chance to go in.
When you start talking all these angle's and trajectories, you can begin to
understand why some people are accurate and some are not. Shooting free-throws
is not a thing of chance or luck. It is something that takes repetition. To be
a good free-throw shooter you need to have a repetitive action, not something
that changes every time. Since the conditions are predictable it is very easy
to become a good repetitive free-throw shooter.
If you would be unsure about the correct move .....

Food Processing
.... Pasteur,
noted the relationship between microorganisms and food spoilage. This
breakthrough increased the dependability of the food canning process. As the
years passed new techniques assuring food preservation would come and go,
opening new doors to further research.
Farmers grow fruits and vegetables and fatten livestock. The fruits and
vegetables are harvested, and the livestock is slaughtered for food. What
happens between the time food leaves the farm and the time it is eaten at the
table? Like all living things, the plants and animals that become food contain
tiny organisms called microorganisms. Living, healthy plants .....

Superdads
.... He quit his job as an engineer to stay
at home with his baby. His wife was an attorney. After a while he felt
isolated at home all the time, and ne wanted to join a support group for new
mothers who felt the same way. He was kicked out because he was not a mom, he
was a superdad. Men need support groups of their own, for fathers.
Even though there is an increasing number of dads taking care of their
children, the court system rarely gives full custody to fathers. When superdads
get custody of their children, they find it very rewarding to get closer to
their kids. They also feel a sense of nobility. Many people look a .....

Vinegar
.... up a bottle that I recognized as
having sage in it. I took a look at the label. On the label were listed the
ingredients: sage, rosemary, and southernwood leaves. When I read the front of
the bottle, I was surprised to find that I was looking at an herbal vinegar hair
rinse. Before this I never knew that such a thing existed. After my experience
at the mall, I became aware that vinegar didn't just belong in the kitchen.
This intrigued me. I decided to find out more about vinegar and its uses.
Nobody knows the exact origins of vinegar, but there are many stories
and beliefs surrounding this strange liquid.(Oster 3) The Roman .....

The Seminole
.... by the name Seminole, which
is derived from the Creek word simanoli, meaning "separatist," or "runaway".
The name, Seminole, could also originate from the Spanish word cimarron, meaning
"wild." Also joining the migrants were Indian and Negro slaves, who fled from
the power struggles between the Americans and the Indians. (Seminole 626)
The Indians who moved to Florida all had similar ways of life. After their
migration, they kept many of the qualities of their original culture. Their
natural environment affected every aspect of their culture and life. The
environment determined what food they ate, what clothing they coul .....

The Blackfoot Indians
.... to their location. "In 1855,
there were approximately 2,400 Northern Blackfoot, 2,000 Blood, and 3,200 Piegan.
The total population of Blackfoot varied as follows: 15,000(1780), 9,000(1801),
7,600(1855), and 4,600(1932)" ( ). The decline of population was
most likely due to the white man's diseases and the annihilation of the buffalo.
In 1781, the Blackfoot had their first serious attack of smallpox. An epidemic
of smallpox again occurred in 1838, 1845 1857, and 1864. In the winter of 1864,
the tribe was struck with measles and about 780 died. In the winter of 1883 to
1884, more than 1/4 the Piegan populati .....

Aspects Of City Life - Crime.
.... the size of the university in
terms of property but also the number of students attending it. This therefore
means that the overall size of Sunderland has increased, including the numbers
of shops, clubs, recreational activities and also houses.
A great deal of people in Sunderland believe that their local pubs and
clubs have been 'taken over' by students and at first there was a great deal of
apprehension and tension between locals and students, often resulting in violent
conflict. This still exists but to a much smaller extent. However, something
that can be connected with this is the mugging and burglary that happens .....

America's Zoos: Entertainment To Conservation
.... concern for the world's animals becomes more prominent in the news,
our zoos rise up to meet the challenge. Animal's rights and their treatment,
regardless of species, have been brought to attention and positive movements
made. While the number of endangered species grows, zoos attempt to do their
part in conservation. Both in and out of the park, zoos and their scientist do
their best to help these species. Efforts out in the field within the United
States as well as other countries are currently in progress. The question lies
in the worthiness of these efforts. Is the conservation successful? Are these
efforts being done .....

Public Misunderstanding Of "Officer Safety"
.... by a passing
motorist. Again, this happens more than you would like to believe.
The FBI conducts semi-annual research regarding the subject of officer
safety and procedural changes which increase the chances of law enforcement
officers surviving their high risk work day. These are the some of the
procedures which they have published in regards to traffic stops, and which
myself and other trainers have used to train their mobile patrolmen in hopes of
reducing their risk:
Step #1: Park your patrol car approximately 1.5 car lengths behind, and
with the passenger's side headlight even with the center of the violators

Rawls' View Of Ignorance
.... proposes that the most reasonable principles of justice for a
society are those that individuals would themselves agree to behind the "veil of
ignorance", in circumstances in which each is represented as a moral person,
endowed with the basic moral powers. What this position supports is that while
each person has different ends and goals, different backgrounds and talents,
each ought to have a fair chance to develop his or her talents and to pursue
those goals - fair equality for opportunity. It is not a race or contest where
the talented or gifted prevail, it should be complete cooperation among all so
that there may .....
