Break a wall一 From painting to photography and photography to wildness At the beginning of photography’s history, the timing was indeed right for the invention of this technology and media. As Walter Benjamin observes in, “A short history of photography” : “The fog which obscures the beginnings of photography is not quite as thick as that which envelops the beginnings of printing. Perhaps more discernible for photography was the fact that many had perceived that the hour for the…

humans are just hard wired and programmed to do so. It’s almost like we were born with this idea of surviving. And that idea came from our parents’ genes. Humans want to survive because they were born to have to this want from their parent’s genes. Hao Qi Wu, the writer never questioned himself about this until two weeks ago when he had to do research for this research paper. This question is very similar to questions like, “Why do humans exist?”. And “What is the meaning of all of this?” It’s…

It is inserted into the equation simply to give a positive solution at the origin; we are artificially creating a solution: 2x1 + 4x2 - s1 + A1 = 16 2(0) + 4(0) - 0 + A1 = 16 A1 = 16 The artificial variable is somewhat analogous to a booster rocket—its purpose is to get us off the ground; but once we get started, it has no real use and thus is discarded. The artificial solution helps get the simplex process started, but we do not want it to end up in the optimal solution, because it has no real…

In the near future, super-humans may walk among us. With new-and-improved, continuously advancing technology and research: scientists, ethicists and bioengineers alike have found a way to perform microsurgery on DNA, a molecule that carries most of the genetic instructions inside living organisms, essentially reprogramming genetic codes over time. This could lead to a potentially large breakthrough for the scientific community as well as humanity in general. Altering genetic codes and human DNA…

With two months of exploring and practicing the Core Intervention Model at Ellwood Elementary School in the city of Goleta, CA, I (Xiaowei Qi, University of California Santa Barbara) participated in three sessions, tutoring kids in kindergarten and students in the second and fifth grade. My supervisors were Amanda Sweigart (the fifth grade), Samantha Farver (the second grade), and Judith Quintero (kindergarten). Regarding the journals about my experience as a tutor, among the three sessions,…

Every four years, The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) researches the mathematics and science achievement of students in the U.S. and other countries. In 1999, TIMSS tested eighth-grade students in 38 countries and found that the students in the Asian nation performed much better than their peers in the world in math achievement. Singapore, Korea, Taipei, Hong Kong and Japan had the highest mathematics achievement average scale score (Mullis et al. 32). Many…

Mao and Dynastic History Outline Mao Zedong (Mao) was a Chinese Marxist military and political leader. He led the Communist Party of China (CPC) to established People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. Mao is still a controversial figure today about what he did. Although Mao did not proclaimed himself emperor, the supreme power he controlled and the worship he received by people were even more than a feudal emperor. Mao’s rise to power and the nature of his rule marks a significant break with…

brush, and the angle between the brush and the paper. All elements artists choose to incorporate in a specific art piece become their own stylistic and artistic choice. The reason Gui clung to black ink and brush is that those are the best way to use qi of calligraphy even though he had to endure complexities in handling the medium. In other words, the artist expresses the energy, which nature includes, to create ideal with his own…

Introduction Functional Behavior Assessment is a scientific approach to analyzing direct and indirect data to formulate a hypothesis of why a target behavior is occurring and most importantly how it is maintained. A process for gathering information that can be used to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of behavior intervention plans. The student behavior is analyzes and evaluate for Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). FBA is there to provide help to reinforce the desire and appropriate…

Antibiotics are the medicines which are used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics have saved countless lives from common infections in the past a few decades. However, in recent years, the antibiotic resistance has become a global threat to the effective prevention and treatment of an increasing range of infections at an alarming pace (Podolsky et al., 2015). Antibiotic resistance occurs when microbe evolves and become more resistant to antibiotics drug and it can lead to the…
