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…

application, or applying nitrogen to the corn crops via side dress bar. In some unfortunate years due to conditions that are out of human control, those events are prevented from taking place. This is the situation that Brad Mette and I witnessed in Marion County (near Salem, IL) on Thursday, May 2. Due to a very wet spring, farmers in the area are still attempting to plant the corn crop. Some for a second time, while others are still on their first attempt. You could see the stress,…

A Voice for Those Who Have None and Justice for Those Who Deserve It Judith Sheindlin, Joe Brown, Marilyn Milian, Greg Mathis, do these names bring back any memories? As a little girl I knew these names well. It was 1997 and my long time sitter had an infatuation with court television. Every weekday afternoon I would find myself, legs crossed sitting on the rough maroon carpet of my childhood home, tuned into a double feature of Judge Judy. Sitting in anticipation just waiting to hear those…

the Healthy People 2020 objective at the national and state level. In 2014, 98.8 CAD related deaths per 100,000 population occurred in the United States, while 94.1 deaths per 100,000 population occurred in Illinois (ODPHP, 2014b). Conversely, Effingham County continues to struggle with meeting the Healthy People 2020 objective. At the local level, 107.9 CHD deaths per 100,000 people occurred in 2014 (CDC, 2014). Achieving the objective at the local level will require community support, along…

Implications for Advanced Nursing Practice APNs possess the ability to decrease the number of CHD deaths by advocating for health care policy changes and providing patient education. The APN’s role in health promotion remains paramount at the individual, community, state, and national levels. At the individual level, an APN may utilize the 5A’s model: ask, advise, agree, assist, arrange; which serves as a timely, evidenced-based practice to address behavioral health risks (USDHHS, 2012a). For…
