the edge of a blue bench and she sat down behind him to support him. The OT also had another bench to the right of him so that he could support himself and I sat to the left of him. We put a pole where there were rings in front of Zane. I took some off and let Zane take a ring one at a time and put it on the pole. Meanwhile the OT sat behind Zane, holding his hips letting him try and balance himself as he reached for the rings and put them on the pole. We also put some on the bench to his right…

is different from yesterday's nice, cool, autumn day. Today it’s much more windy, there’s more leaves falling. From where I am observing them from the window, I can see them tumble from the big tree that’s on the side of the school with my favorite bench right underneath it, perfect for reading during my free hour. Now as I’m looking at the old thing, with its’ chipped burgundy paint, I know that I’ll never get to experience that again. Nor will I ever hear my best friend laugh at me for missing…

among the room. The audience members are more than welcome to sit in the benches in the back facing the judge. There are also two tables and seating for both the defendant and the plaintiff which happens to be angled towards the focus of the judge’s bench. Another comparison that the series showed was the conducting of cross-examination. The judges ask questions to one party and the other party awaits their turn to speak. In some episodes there were informal language being used whereas in a real…

The glass beakers, test tubes and thermometers are fragile, so if they are dropped, the shards are hazardous and could potentially severely injure somebody. The breakages could be avoided by keeping all of the glass equipment in the center of the bench, rather than the edges where they could be knocked off easily. If glass is smashed, injuries can be avoided by wearing inclosed shoes, warning others to be careful in the area and cleaning the glass up straight away in a safe manner with hand…

was open and Kyle slid the puck over to me. The puck looked at me in a taunting sort of way, with all my strength, shot it as hard as I could. The puck slides in. Goal!!!

We go through the line, high-fiving my team. It was perhaps the most excited I think I have ever felt until that moment. It felt like I stepped into a doorway of…

you do that, if you leave it all on the ice, you can walk the halls tomorrow at school and feel proud of yourselves. Wear that jersey with pride tonight boys because this is your time.” My coach’s words were ringing through my head as I was on the bench waiting for my first shift. I couldn’t stop moving my legs when I was standing watching the puck drop. It’s as if they had a mind of their own and it was out of my control. My stomach felt like it was going to just quit on me and I was unable…

The topic that I am analyzing is known as the foot in the door (FITD) technique. The FITD technique is defined as getting someone to agree to a small favor in hopes that the participant feels helped and/or cared for; the moment the initial favor is fulfilled, the person follows up by asking for an even bigger request. Two researchers in 1966 named Freedman & Fraser discovered the FITD technique. From their research, they concluded that it is one of the most effective compliance techniques. Also,…
