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 drug epidemic has continued to plague my community and recently my high school was part of a BBC documentary “Smack in Suburbia -- America's Heroin Crisis”. The documentary takes a heart-wrenching look at the effects of heroin addiction in Lorain County, specifically in Avon Lake. It shows a student at my high school admitting to snorting Oxycontin off a table in our school library! The documentary was an embarrassing yet, eye opening experience for our high school administrators. They…

What happened? No one will hire me and even if they did, I was going to be paid 20% less than half of the other workers. If I worked there long enough to get health insurance, it wouldn’t pay for some of my basic needs. The government says I owe them money and can take up to 100% of my wages, but I don’t have any wages. I can’t get food stamps or public housing. My family can’t take me in because their proprietors won’t allow it. I wish I could help change things, but I can’t vote, serve…

Section 12 of Article XV of the Constitution of the State of Ohio. What does it allow and what are the limitations? The proposed amendment would allow for commercial production exclusively in a few selected counties within Ohio, including our own Hamilton county and neighboring Clermont county. Marijuana would be available for recreational purchase at around 1,100 locations within the state. The establishments of consumption must carry a license and cannot be located within 1,000 feet of a…

options that can lead a graduating senior toward success such as community college. Not only is community college more affordable and close to home, but it can also offer the same opportunities as that a well known university. An example would be Lorain County Community College, offering four-year degrees and having more than a handful of other associate degrees for first-time students. LCCC, for example is a good place to begin college because of its central location, its small classes, and…
