The Therapist’s Speed Dating: Round Table Discussions stood as a unique forum for many students and current counselors to be exposed to different areas of the field. Eight different experts in each of their fields presented a twenty five minute discussion privately for eight people at a time interested in their area of expertise. Each attendee was allowed to choose four of the speakers which they wished to hear, and sit with each one for 25 minutes in order to discuss with them a chosen topic by…

In the book " Business @the speed of Thought, Bill Gates discussed many projects which will be available in the twenty first century. The new projects will be the part of our daily life and will have a direct influence on our lives. One of the fields where the new technologies will be efficient is a Medical field. In chapter 19, " No health care system is an island" Bill Gates discuses the future aspects of the medical information system, which will reduce the costs of the medical treatment…

Introduction: To much time is getting wasted, speed limits need to change The average driver spends 101 minutes on the road each day think of the time that could be saved if the speed limits got raised. Driving on the road for 100 miles at 70 instead of 55 would save you about 25 minutes. Acording to The U.S Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration the average person drives 13,476 miles in a year so traveling at 70 instead of 55 would save you 53 hours in a year In 1974 the…

Raindrops break the speed limit Did you know that raindrops have speed limits of their own? Raindrops that are larger than 0.5 millimeters when going across fall with a terminal velocity of several meters per second, while smaller drops fall slower with a terminal velocity of less than one meter per second. Terminal Velocity is when friction cancels the downward pull of gravity. This means that the raindrops speed up and keep falling at a steady pace. Michael Larsen, an atmospheric…

speeding seems like one of the least offensive traffic violations. A common attitude of drivers is: "driving ten or fifteen mph over the speed limit doesn't make you a criminal." While this is generally true in the sense that most instances of speeding are considered infractions, speeding is a serious matter because of its dangers, three of which are discussed below: Speed Reduces Your Control Over Your Car The ability to steer and brake on the road is impossible without traction. If you've…

amongst the people. It typically affects the health, finances, and the rights of the public as a whole. There are spokesman for the public interest such as Ralph Nader. He fought hard for automobile safety by writing a book called, “Unsafe At Any Speed." This book was written to help protect the lives of everyday citizens. After reading some car accident statistics, I found out that, “there are in excess of 40,000 deaths due to car accidents every year.” I believe that Nader represents my…

Analysis/Discussion: This graph above shows that different heights does affect the speed of a shuttlecock. On the x axis, the data is the height of where the shuttlecock is dropped from, while the y axis is the average speed (m/s). The height where the shuttlecock is dropped increases, as the average speed of each height increases as well. The result of the graph is shown that the line keeps on increasing even if it is not a straight line graph. These results support my hypothesis, which states…

The Decline of General Aviation Airports The Rise of General Aviation In the early days of aviation, aviators were limited to flying during daylight hours, in near ideal weather conditions. Early pilots were not regulated as they are today, and would take off and land their aircraft in any flat open area, often a farmer’s grassy field, which allowed them to choose their direction relative to the prevailing winds. As aviation grew, pilots began to congregate in common areas, which allowed for…

Physics Experimental investigations Will heating honey speed up how it falls from a spoon? The speed of falling of honey from an object depends on its viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of how much a fluid resists movement of a mass through it. It is the internal friction of a substance that causes it to be thick, sticky and adhesive. Apparatus needed for this investigation is: Electronic balance 750 grams of honey (around 530 mL / 530 cm3) Thermometer Bunsen burner / other source of heat /…

Quote-”I wanted to run faster than the speed of sound, but nobody, no matter how much pain they’re in, can run that fast. So I heard the boom of my father’s rifle when he shot my bestfriend.” Page 14, Chapter 2 Arnold doesn’t come across much hope in the reservation, between his differences and the hopelessness shared between everyone. Arnold’s dog was his one of the only ounces of hope in his life. When his dad went to shoot the dog, it was like taking away a part of Arnold, but Arnold believed…
