8. Overview of the Arduino Sketch 8.1 General Codes MediaTek labs states that an Arduino sketch “is a source code file representing the core controlling logic for the LinkIt ONE development board. It consists of two main structures: setup and loop” (MediaTek Labs, n.d.). In this section I will discuss what the above code do. First, LinkIt ONE initializes the Ubidots account, then the sensors, Wi-Fi or GPRS, the location and finally the serial port. To minimize battery consumption, I did not use…

irony. Irony occurs when what a reader expects to happen is the complete opposite of the actual outcome. Irony helps illustrate humor especially in the works “Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” by Mark Twain and “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor. “Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is a framed narrative that tells the tale of Jim Smiley who is really good at winning bets; More rather, he is good at manipulating the game to win bets. In the end of this short story, the…

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County play versus the short story had many contrasts. Yet, there were characteristics that differed between the two media forms. The setting, theme, plot, characters, and conflict are each a bit different between the forms of the highly-recognized story. The setting of two stories contrast in a couple of ways. To begin with, the play opens right in the old west. The short story, on the contrary, begins at Angel’s Mining Camp. The time period between…

Los Angeles is a place where people of different social backgrounds lead increasingly separate, parallel lives. Individuals from all social backgrounds participate in routine activities in micro-spaces throughout the city such as purchasing a cup of coffee or riding the bus to work. These people can be a student going to school or a senior citizen out on a stroll. Even though they may cross paths and share certain spaces on a consistent basis, that does not mean that they live identical lives.…

theatre history, such as the conventions of the Greek, Roman, and Elizabethan eras. I will continue to discuss staging conventions by analyzing and comparing different plays to these eras including Trojan Women by Euripides, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee by William Finn, and The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. In the Ancient Greek era some of the most prominent aspects of staging conventions…

Lost in Lust The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, with music and lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin, and conceived by Rebecca Feldman, explores a lighthearted event, as the play title suggests, a middle school spelling bee. I watched the production on February 7, 2016 at 2:00 PM at the University of Washington’s Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse. This production was directed by Brandon Ivie, musically directed by Jordyn Meeker, and choreographed by Steven Sofia. This musical…

The Allegheny County Democratic Party: A Lesson in Ineffective Group Dynamics Introduction At the age of eighteen, every American citizen is bestowed the privilege and responsibility of registering to vote which also includes the task of choosing party affiliation, if any. However, merely checking a box on a federal form indicating group membership may not necessarily denote one is becoming a member of a high-performance group. In fact, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, local leaders within…

Research indicates the health of many immigrant populations’ deteriorates the longer they live in the U.S., leading to a phenomenon known as the “immigrant health advantage” (Antecol and Bedard 2006). Several studies suggest new immigrants tend to have healthier behaviors when they first arrive in America compared to U.S. natives. Immigrants tend to originate from cultures with lower stress levels that promote healthier lifestyles because of strong familial and societal networks (Venters and…

Veterans Leadership Program operates programs and delivers services to veterans in 18 counties (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Blair, Butler, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Fayette, Fulton, Greene, Huntingdon, Indiana, Lawrence, Somerset, Washington, and Westmoreland). By participating in the economic impact study, VLP hopes to effectively coalesce organizational output and performance into quantitative figures which can be clearly and articulately…

religious statues means the official is violating establishment. The difference between the Lynch case was more than just the religious part of Christmas, it was just mainly decoration and the Winnit case is about religious meaning. In another case Allegheny County v. Greater Pittsburgh, there was a creche and menorah in a holiday display, which the Supreme Court found no violation. The hard part for the Supreme Court was the overall effect of the display. The Supreme Court questioned if it was…
