“... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge” (Tyrion Lannister). Set in the Medieval Ages, A Game of Thrones written by George R. R. Martin is an engaging and intriguing battle for the iron throne. Ned Stark, lord of Winterfell and Hand of the king, battles endlessly to drive sense into the, Robert Baratheon king of the seven kingdoms and outmaneuver Robert’s wife Cersei. While Ned is in the capital with his daughters Arya and Sansa, his oldest son, Robb rules
Question #1 What differences and similarities did you notice between the trees you generated? In particular how did the trees generated with DNA differ than the one you made with physical traits? - One difference that I observed between the trees generated based on physical traits versus the trees based on DNA were that the trees based on DNA were far more accurate than the trees based on physical traits. The DNA generated trees were based on the physical genetic code, and the similarities between
This graph is from Street Blog USA, by Tanya Snyder. The pie graph above represents the amount of deaths Americans have encountered from 2003-2012 from regular car crashes, motorcycles and bicyclists. Functions • Graphics are Indispensable in demonstrating logical and numerical relationships- Without graph logical and numerical relationships, would be almost impossible to understand without proper graphics. • Graphics can communicate spatial information effectively than words alone – Graphs help
In my network I began with department stores as the central node, the department store node also is bigger in appearance compared to all the other nodes. My nodes represent objects concepts, nouns. My edged represents one node influencing another node. To distinguish between the four categories of art, technology, science of culture, I gave my nodes weight so ranking them by color would be more efficient. I gave the department store a node of one and colored it red, branching off from department
The knight’s tour In this paper, I will discuss the knight’s tour, a chess puzzle relatable to graph theory. I will talk about the history of the problem, how it is related to the Hamiltonian paths and circuits, and some techniques to finding the many different tours and proving their existence. The knight is, as you might know, the only chess piece that does not move in a straight line. No, the knight moves two spaces in one direction, and then on in a perpendicular direction. The knights tour
Step 1: Create a cluster having N number of nodes using the formula Cm,k. For all m=0,1,2……N-1 K=1,2,……...logN Step2: Assume that all the nodes in the network can i nitiate the diagnosis and all the nodes are fault free at the initial stage of algorithm execution. Step 3: Start the Diagnosis process: Repeat for K=1 to log N Do Send i_hb( p, q , Dq, init_hb_msg) Set_Timeout (Tout) Step4: Find out response time and tested node response r_hb (q, p, D’q ,res_hb_msg) if Dq = D’q, // then
Leonhard Euler, a pioneering Swiss mathematician and physicist, was very successful in his life due to his discoveries in infinitesimal calculus and the graph theory. Preeminent mathematician of the eighteenth century, Leonhard Euler, has been believed to be one of the greatest mathematicians to ever live. Euler has been given recognition for introducing much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, mostly for mathematical analysis, such as the notion of a mathematical function. His
meaning to persuade by the use of logic and reasoning, to connect with her readers. Susan presents her argument by using statistics and reason. At one point in Susan’s article under the subheading “The Heavy Toll of Unsafe Abortions” she displays a bar graph showing the unsafe abortions in the world; following she tells about the costs of abortions in developing countries by saying “In Guatemala, for example, where 37% of the population lives on less than $2 a day, the estimated cost of an illegal abortion
Critical thinking is an extremely important quality that should be nurtured, refined and actively applied to every decision we make. What Exactly is Critical Thinking? In simple terms, critical thinking may be defined as reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do. A more complete definition by the Critical Thinking Community is: “a mode of thinking, about any subject, content, or problem where the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing
Collaborative Project/ Essay Draft Intro- In a world inundated with news, it can be easy to fall prey to the idea that the world is in a constant state of decline. However, in Chapter 2 of Factfulness, this idea is debated, where the authors explore the human brain's tendency to focus on sudden changes and negative news rather than gradual improvements. The media's role in perpetuating this bias is significant. It often reports on sensational events, such as oil spills and violent crimes, while

Zaurrini Suraci 300293159 TESL 4203 January 31, 2018 Vocabulary Resource Evaluation Pathways 4 Listening, Speaking and Critical Thinking While this workbook, Pathways 4, focuses on listening, speaking and critical thinking, there is a fair amount of expected reading and a fair amount of writing opportunities. The first four pages of the book clearly introduce the ten units presented. For each unit there is a short description of the learning outcomes for each category presented in
Hindsight bias- the likelihood that a person claims an event to be predictable after the event occurred Critical thinking- the thought process that uses different skills, patterns, and strategies in order to form a judgement Theory- an idea that is not proven but that is believed to be true Hypothesis- a statement that controls an experiment that demonstrates the relationship between things Operational definition- describes the actions or operations that will be used to measure or control a variable
PCELL: Let me give you a little bit of background on the project, and particularly why I am here at Tri-C. I don’t know how familiar you are with some changes in developmental and first year undergraduate mathematics. It used to be that everyone took courses that were kind of on a calculus track, even though they were never going to take calculous unless that fit unto their major. So, they took classes like college algebra, finite math and trig, just because we have been teaching them for decades
George Orwell, in his novel Animal Farm, illustrates the flaws involved in a system where equality amongst all individuals is the basis for governance. Orwell represents society through various animals living on a farm under the control of human farmers. Throughout the novel, the animals revolt against their human owners under the leadership of pigs who state that once they gain control of the farm they shall all be equal. However, as the novel progresses it becomes clear that the pigs have a hidden
Importance of Rules In a society or community, there are rules. Rules are regulations that the people under a government need to follow. Rules are important as families and citizens have to live their lives in a happy but safe state. Some aspects of why rules are important are: to maintain civil behaviour, be organised, more harmony in the community. Even under these aspects, there are more branches of why rules are important. The first reason why rules are important is that they maintain civil
The deeply troubled adolescent Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye displays signs of fear and rejection towards the adult world, into which he is strongly resisting the transition. Caulfield is disgusted at the world and in particular the adults that surround him which ultimately drives Caulfield to the point of expelling the idea of maturity and rather preserving the childlike innocence in the youth. Caulfield labels adults as arrogant and superficial who are believed to be the carriers of
School uniforms pro or con , this controversial subject has been going on for a while arguing it takes away students self of expression or whether it helps establish a better learning environment. Which one truly is the best option for the future of our students and which one can truly maximize their potential for a better learning environment as well as the safety for them when they go to school, these thoughts are key points in when discussing the argument over school uniforms Starting with the
As a student, I come across readings/media and interpret them through their metaphorical meaning rather than its literal. My views may be critically opinionated, often times creating a scenario to where people decieve my true identity. When it comes to Shakespeare's notable play, Hamlet, my first instinct brings me back to my childhood: The Lion King. Both protagonists portray a sense of heroism. Hamlet, being my hero, shares a parallel journey to that of Simba of The Lion King as the two characters
Playing a sport involves physically exerting yourself and competing against another team or individual for fun or for competition. In sports, when you are playing hard and pushing your limits it creates room for development. As your body develops so does all aspects of your health. This means that sports improve your mental, physical, and emotional/ social health. The first and most obvious way sports can improve your health is physically. When you are pushing your body to extremes you become more
Arguably one of if not his best sketch would be his hob nobs sketch from the tour that didn’t tour tour. “Do you ever dip your biscuit in your tea and it breaks? I swear to god no matter how old you get you never get over that and you panic when it falls in, there’s nothing you can do, you can see it happening, it’s like slow motion “he begins the sketch using emotive language to show how passionate he is on the topic which the audience can relate to as mentioned earlier a lot of them have probably
