Subject matter

constructed collaboratively, the finalised shared vision will still be dependent on the leader’s management style and adapted to fit within their overall plan (Busher and Harris, 2000). This may be because Busher and Harris (2000) identify that as a subject leader development plans must be written, these should help maintain good practice and improve other areas of weaker practice. Henceforth, they suggest that if the vision does not foresee the weaknesses, then it is of…

Geology class sucks. Nothing more than listening to my annoying, 55 year old teacher, Ms. Zacks, lecturing about her non existent relationship status, that we all know is 95% made up. "Brexley! Are you listening to me?" I jump at the sound of the little crackle in her voice that was caused from having way one to many smokes throughout her lifetime. "Brexley! I am talking to you young lady!" "I'm sorry?" I look up at the teacher while the rest of the class laughs. I roll my eyes,…

Just like another day at West Cannoli High School, me and Ultra Violinist worked steadily on our report on the Tyndall Effect. Honestly, my essay was better than most given the fact that most only use the bare minimum. Stating that it was light scattering when it passes through a colloid. Over the intercom, they called for me and Ultra Violinist to check out. Sometimes this job can be repetitive but it is still I have grown to enjoy tormenting our appointments let alone our biggest challenge yet…

Dziegielewski and Wolfe used an ABA single subject design in their study. The subject, a 24 year-old Caucasian female who was referred to as Brandy, took a pretest of the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS) developed by Nugent and Thomas (1993) and the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire (BIAQ) by Rosen, Srebnik, Saltzberg, and Wendt (1991) before the baseline data was collected. Negative scores on the SERS, which ranged from -120 to +120, meant low self-esteem and the higher the scores on the BIAQ,…

thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead wrong. Our universe is, in actuality, speeding up in its rate of expansion! This left scientists puzzled; it went against almost everything they had thought. Since there is matter everywhere, and that matter has gravitational attraction, so why wasn’t…

Reduced prefrontal cortical gray matter value in young adults exposed to corporal punishment is a study done by Akemi Tomoda, Hanako Suzuki, Karen Rabi, Yi-Shin She, Ann Polcari, and Martin H. Teicher. This study was published in March 2009 and had the objective to see how harsh corporal punishment during a persons childhood changes the brain structure and specifically the amount of gray matter volume. They clearly drew guidelines on the differences between harsh corporal punishment (HCP) and…

Time is a concept that for a long time was thought to be untouchable. This was until black holes were discovered. These collections of matter hold the seemingly supernatural effect to alter time as we know it. A black hole is a star that has collapsed and become so dense that it creates a gravitational field strong enough that nothing, not even light, can escape. When a star dies it leaves behind a very dense remnant core. If the core’s mass is more than three times the mass of the sun, the…

exploited by the human race, it could either cause devastating and horrifying effects, or it could lead to an almost surreal and astounding future for the human race. The undaunted research present day scientists and engineers delve into with such subjects as dark energy is essential to the progression of the human race and technological future. As dark energy is studied and is attempted to be understood, the human race must press on bravely as it is not only the most powerful, raw form of…

Academies." The exhibition will cover the countries of Mexico, Brazil, and Cuba, and address key historical subjects for each area that were popularized through the academies. In this essay, I am going to provide the layout of the exhibition, along with information about each specific piece that I would like to feature in this…

black holes and its effect on the nearby objects. To have a deeper understanding of this serious subject, I had an opportunity to interview Prof. Andrea Ghez from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA. Dr. Ghez has been serving as the Director of the Galactic Centre Group, at UCLA for the last nine years and is working in the department of Physics and Astronomy where she teaches students on subjects ranging from star formation to the black hole at the center of our galaxy. She…
