Spent as Dystopian LIFE and Also Survival Horror Spent is a game. But Spent is also life. Above all else, Spent is reality. This game makes no attempts to mask itself as anything besides a harsh look at modern life for those living on the poverty line and those who threaten to drown beneath it. The game begins by proposing a challenge to the player: survive the month with little to no resources and endure a series of financial obligations. Sounds fun, right? Try spinning it this way: collect as…

Copper-alloy miniature votive dagger. The pommel is uneven and spherical with a ridge at the top. The pommel narrows into the slightly curved grip. The guard is a square shape with two parallel grooves on each side. The blade narrows into a dulled point. There is a round hole three-quarters of the way up the blade. The back is chipped on the left edge of the blade near the point (as seen in figure 1) and has furrows on the blade below the hole. The front has scratches on the blade above both…

In general, the experiment succeeded in demonstrating free-fall by dropping a tennis ball. Distance and time were documented to calculate velocity and acceleration, the quantities involved in linear kinematics. Graph 1 (distance vs. time) suggests a commonsensical relation - longer distance yields longer time. The only exception is at 1.0 m, where its time value (0.42 s) is less than that of a shorter distance (0.5s for 0.5 m distance). Average time was used to construct the graph, and there…

To do this experiment you will need two subjects that have different arm lengths. In this experiment Subject 1 had an arm length of .81 meters and Subject 2 had an arm length of .77 meters. It is crucial that the subjects have different arm lengths because if they don’t your results will be invalid. The first step in this experiment is to set up the camera using the tripod and insert an SD card. Next, position the camera perpendicular to the sagittal plane along the x-axis in regards to the…

Laboratory Exercise 1: Anatomy Lab Report Scientist: Eryka Ocasio Ramos Lab Title: Scientific Method and Measurements I. Problem: Is there a correlation between the length of the upper and lower limbs and the height of an individual? II. Hypothesis: The length of a person’s upper limb is equal to 0.4 (40%) of the height of the person. III. Variables: Independent Variable: The people chosen for the experiment. Dependent Variable: Height and upper limb length. IV. Constants: Units of measure, the…

taking the value of something. But what about value in people? I am fifty percent Hispanic. I am one half. I am more Hispanic than not, but I am less than hundred percent. If these statements coincide with the value of fifty percent, does this also mean I am incomplete? I am proud to be what I am. I am an American, but moreso, I am a person. I was born here, and I was raised here. I have a mixed background, but name one person in this room today who does not, because as far an anyone should be…

Have you ever seen a movie where the new girl walks into a new high school and doesn’t know what to expect? Particularly, that happened to my classmate, Alyssa Sarino. Alyssa is a sixteen year old new junior attending Rancho Mirage High School. Her quiet looking appearance might fool people because she has a bright persona in her. Alyssa grew up in Banning, California and lived there all of her life until this summer. Her family and herself moved to Cathedral City with her uncle and aunt. “My…

In the next step, the graded response IRT model will be analyzed again for each identified domain, but without the excluded items, and the model fit statistics will be assessed. If the model has a good fit statistics, the best item for each domain will be selected according to the distribution of the threshold values across the latent scale and the discrimination value; item that has threshold values cross the whole latent scale and high discrimination value will be selected. Sample Size Graded…

Mr. John H. Smith, President Smith’s Bubble Gum Company, LLC 123 Street Drive, Somewhere, ST 01234 Hearing Conservation Program Proposal Dear Mr. Smith, Thank you for your inquiry about a hearing conservation program for your company.
