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…
University of Nursing students studying childhood type one diabetes in the Yakima community. Our hope is to make a positive impact on the pediatric type one diabetic population in Yakima Washington, by addressing unmet needs of this population. In 2015, it was estimated that the total annual medical expenditures for a diabetic was $13,700 per year, 7,900 of which was directly attributed to diabetes. During our research we found that Yakima is lacking a pediatric endocrinologist. Though there…
can also report state and local health issues. Other organizations, such as Countyhealthranking.org (2015) reported Yakima County ranked poorly for health outcomes and health factors within Washington State. Yakima County ranked number 36 out of 39 counties for health factors based on health behaviors, clinical care, social, and economic factors. This report indicated Yakima County had 521 cases of chlamydia per 100,000 in 2015. Both private and public health agencies can increase public…
home owners with kids look for. Corresponding with this, at first glance Tri-Cities Washington seems like a contained environment to raise youth in. As it is isolated from any big city and is a ninety minutes away from “major crime” areas such as Yakima. Under high magnification, a safety concern can be found in this area. It is ironic that such can be found in a town that has grown up around the Hanford sight and farming opportunities. The issues of the Tri-Cities mostly encompass those of…
Every summer from 6th -12th grade I participated in different local community service projects that inspired my passion for poverty alleviation and relationship building. Most recently, I served in Yakima County, Washington over spring break on a Native American Reservation, to renovate broken down houses and lead a children’s day care. From this experience I learned about the importance of accounting for cultural differences, and focusing on the values…
