The Hunters: Moonsong Chapter Forty-One

It appeared as though he and Bonnie had been standing by always in the small back office of the library, Matt idea. They had stressed to get a sound, to attempt to pick up anything at al about what was going on down there. Bonnie paced, wringing her hands and gnawing her lips, and he inclined toward the wal , head brought down, and kept a decent hold on Samantha's fight. In the event of some unforeseen issue. He thought about al the entryways and entries and passages down there, a significant number of which he had no clue about where they drove, yet he didn't understand the soundproofing was so acceptable. They hadn't heard a thing. At that point unexpectedly the trapdoor was pushing up, and Matt strained, raising the fight, until he saw Elena's face. Meredith, Elena, Stefan, and Damon moved out, shrouded in blood, yet basical y fine, if the anxious way Elena and Meredith were tel ing Bonnie what occurred, their words tumbling over one another, was any sign. â€Å"Ethan's dead,† Stefan told Matt. â€Å"There were some different Vitales down there in the battle, however none of the vows. He'd sent them out to hunt.† Matt felt debilitated and peculiarly upbeat simultaneously. He'd imagined them dead at Damon and Stefan's hands, Chloe, al his companions from swearing. Be that as it may, they weren't. Not dead, not genuine y. In any case, changed, vampires now. â€Å"You're going to chase them,† he stated, pointing his words at Stefan and Damon, and at Meredith, as well. She gestured, her face settled, and Damon turned away. â€Å"We have to,† Stefan let him know. â€Å"You know that.† Matt gazed hard at his shoes. â€Å"Yeah,† he stated, â€Å"I know. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you get an opportunity, perhaps converse with some of them? On the off chance that you can, in the event that they're sensible and nobody's at serious risk? Perhaps they could figure out how to live without kil ing individuals. In the event that you gave them how, Stefan.† He scoured at the rear of his neck. â€Å"Chloe was †¦ exceptional. What's more, different vows, they were acceptable individuals. They didn't have the foggiest idea what they were getting into. They merit a chance.† Everybody was quiet, and, after a second, Matt admired discover Stefan in regards to him, his eyes dull green with compassion, his mouth pul ed rigid in lines of torment. â€Å"I'l do my best,† he said benevolent. â€Å"I can guarantee you that. In any case, new vampires †vampires when all is said in done, genuine y †can be eccentric. We probably won't have the option to spare any of them, and our need must be the blameless. We will attempt, though.† Matt gestured. His mouth tasted sharp and his eyes consumed. He was starting to acknowledge exactly how tired he was. â€Å"That's about as well as can be expected expect,† he said generally. â€Å"Thank you.† â€Å"So there's an entire room ful of dead vampires down there?† Bonnie asked, wrinkling her nose in disturb. â€Å"Pretty much,† said Elena. â€Å"We fastened the entryways shut once more, however I wish we could shut the chamber off more for all time. Somebody will go down there possible y, and the exact opposite thing this grounds needs is another homicide examination, or another grisly legend.† â€Å"Ta-da!† Bonnie stated, smiling brilliantly and pul ing a little pack out of her pocket. â€Å"Final y something I can do.† She held the pack up. â€Å"Remember al the hours Mrs. Blossoms caused me to spend examining herbs? All things considered, I know spel s for locking and warding, and I have the herbs to utilize directly here. I figured they may prove to be useful, when Matt disclosed to us we were setting off to a mystery underground chamber.† She looked so satisfied with herself that Matt needed to grin a little in spite of the largeness inside him at the idea of Chloe and the others some place out in the night. â€Å"They probably won't work for over a day or two,† she included humbly, â€Å"but they'l unquestionably dishearten individuals from examining the trapdoor for that long.† â€Å"You're a miracle, Bonnie,† Elena stated, and suddenly embraced her. Stefan gestured. â€Å"We can dispose of the bodies tomorrow,† he said. â€Å"It's excessively near day break to do it now.† Bonnie got option to work, sprinkling dried plants over the trapdoor. â€Å"Hyssop, Solomon's seal, and damiana leaves,† she said when she saw Matt watching her. â€Å"They're for reinforcing of locks, security from insidiousness, and general assurance. Mrs. Blossoms dril ed me on this stuff so much I last y got them al down. It's really awful I didn't make them help me with my schoolwork in secondary school. Possibly I would have taken in a portion of those French verbs.† Damon was watching them, his eyes half hooded. â€Å"We should search for the new vampires, too,† he said. â€Å"You realize vampires aren't pack creatures. They won't chase together for long. When they split up, we can pick them off,† he told Stefan. â€Å"I'm coming, too,† Meredith said. She took a gander at Damon chal engingly. â€Å"I'l simply walk Matt home and afterward get together with you both.† Damon grinned, an exceptionally comforting grin that Matt had never observed him direct at Meredith. â€Å"I was conversing with you, as well, hunter,† he said. â€Å"You've gotten better.† After a second, she grinned back, a diverting spot of her lips, and Matt idea he saw something that may be the beginnings of kinship gleaming between them. â€Å"So the Vitales were certainly behind al the homicides and disappearances?† Matt asked Stefan, feeling wiped out. How might he have invested such a great amount of energy with Ethan and not speculated that he was a killer? Bonnie's face went so white that her couple of spots indicated like minimal dim dabs on plain paper. And afterward her shading returned flooding, her cheeks and ears turning a brilliant pink. She climbed insecurely to her feet. â€Å"I ought to go see Zander,† she said. â€Å"Hey,† Matt stated, frightened, and moved to obstruct the entryway. â€Å"There's stil an entire pack of vampires outside, Bonnie. Trust that someone will walk you over.† â€Å"Not to make reference to that you have other commitments,† Damon said dryly, looking significant y at the herbs dispersed over the trapdoor. â€Å"After you work your witchy magic, at that point you can go see your pet.† â€Å"We're heartbroken, Bonnie,† Meredith stated, moving awkwardly starting with one foot then onto the next. â€Å"We ought to have believed you to know a hero when you saw one.† â€Å"Right! Al is forgiven,† Bonnie said splendidly, and thudded down before the trapdoor once more. â€Å"I simply need to state the spel .† She ran her hands through the herbs. â€Å"Existo signum,† she mumbled. â€Å"Servo quis est intus.† As she scooped a portion of the herbs once again into her pack, Bonnie continued grinning, and halting, and gazing into space, and afterward bobbing a bit. Matt grinned at her sleepily. Useful for Bonnie. Somebody should have a cheerful completion. He felt a solid, dainty hand take his and went to see Meredith next to him. She grinned sympathetical y at him. Close by, Elena laid her hand probably on Stefan's arm, and the two of them had their eyes on Bonnie. Damon stood stil , watching them al with a practically affectionate articulation. Matt inclined toward Meredith, console. Regardless of what occurred, at any rate they were together. His actual companions were with him; he had gotten back home to them finally. The sun was low in the east when Bonnie ascended the emergency exit, her feet banging on each progression. As she came over the side of the structure, she saw Zander sitting with his back against the unpleasant cement wal at the edge of the rooftop. He went to gaze at her as she came toward him. â€Å"Hi,† she said. She'd been so eager to see him on her way here, enough so that Elena and Meredith got over their blame and began to snicker at her, however now she felt strange and awkward, similar to her head was too huge. It was, she understood, all out y conceivable that he wouldn't have any desire to converse with her. After al , she'd blamed him for being a killer, which was a really serious mix-up for a sweetheart to make. â€Å"Hi,† he said gradually. There was a long delay, and afterward he praised the solid close to him. â€Å"Want to sit down?† he inquired. â€Å"I'm simply viewing the sky.† He faltered. â€Å"Ful moon in a few days.† Referencing the ful moon felt like a chal enge, and Bonnie settled close to him, at that point pressed her hands together and bounced directly in. â€Å"I'm sorry I cal ed you a kil er,† she said. â€Å"I know since I wasn't right to blame you for being liable for the passings nearby. I ought to have confided in you more. If it's not too much trouble acknowledge my apology,† she completed in somewhat surge. â€Å"Because I miss you.† â€Å"I miss you, too,† Zander said. â€Å"And I comprehend it was a shock.† â€Å"Seriously, however, Zander,† Bonnie stated, and pushed him a little with her hip. â€Å"You just tel me you're a werewolf? Did you get nibbled when you were a child or something? Since I know getting nibbled is the best way to turn into a werewolf without kil ing somebody. Furthermore, alright, I know you're not the kil er now, however Meredith saw you with a young lady who'd quite recently been assaulted. Furthermore, †¦ and you had wounds, genuine y awful wounds all over the place. I think I reserved each privilege to think something was hinky with you.† â€Å"Hinky?† Zander giggled a bit, yet there was an edge of bitterness to it, Bonnie idea. â€Å"I get it's sort of hinky, on the off chance that you need to put it that way.† â€Å"Can you explain?† Bonnie inquired. â€Å"Okay, I'l try,† Zander said mindful y. He came to down and grasped her hand, turning it over in his and playing with her fingers, pul ing them softly. â€Å"As you obviously know, most werewolves are made either by being chomped, or by having the werewolf infection in their family and enacting it by kil ing somebody in an extraordinary custom.

Comparison of IFRS and U.S GAAP in relation to intangible assets

Correlation of IFRS and U.S GAAP according to elusive resources 1. Presentation Organizations have never been as globalized as they are today. Various enterprises from grew, recently industrialized and creating nations work on a worldwide premise and need to make budget summaries utilizing the bookkeeping practices of their nation of origin, just as those current in their regions of activities. The disparity in bookkeeping practices of various nations makes the requirement for the planning of discrete money related and bookkeeping articulations and resulting compromise of contrasts. The universal bookkeeping organization is currently consistently moving towards worldwide shared characteristic in bookkeeping rehearses and procedural detailing. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has been moving in the direction of assembly of worldwide bookkeeping guidelines. Its crucial to create and implement a solitary arrangement of worldwide bookkeeping norms, in light of planning of high caliber, straightforward and equivalent budget reports for nearby and w orldwide clients. The IASB has been chipping away at gathering a steady arrangement of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for first time clients. The IFRS was ordered for all openly recorded organizations in the European Union in 2005 and has additionally been received by different nations like Australia. The IASB has additionally been working intimately with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), since 2002, to realize intermingling between US GAAP and the IFRS. In any case, while huge work has been done on fitting IFRS with US GAAP and numerous pending issues are as a rule at present tended to, various bookkeeping subjects are as yet treated distinctively by these two frameworks. Various contrasts keep on staying in the bookkeeping treatment of immaterial resources. Intangibles have been characterized in different manners. Basically they contain resources that don't have physical nearness and are spoken to by things like generosity, brands and licenses. These advantages don't have shape yet have values; which again are at times vague however frequently equipped for estimation. They should be under the immediate control of the association and fit for yielding future monetary profit to be named as impalpable resources having a place with the organization. A solid lawful right that can prompt future monetary profit is a genuine case of an elusive resource whose valuation is very uncertain however all things considered gives security and the possibility to monetary benefit to an association. The treatment of immaterial resources has consistently been antagonistic and open to various understandings. Indeed, even today, while IFRS and US GAAP have moved towards combination in various bookkeeping zones, noteworthy contrasts despite everything stay in their treatment of intangibles. These distinctions are explicit in the treatment of generosity and innovative work expenses, and lead to explicit contrasts in the last readiness of fiscal summaries. It is the reason for this task to look at the distinctions and similitudes between US GAAP and IFRS for the treatment of Goodwill, Research and Development costs, Brands, Patents and Trademarks. Various writings have been alluded for this task, particularly International Accounting and Multinational Enterprises sixth release by Radebaugh, Gray and Black, International Financial Reporting: A Comparative Approach by Roberts, Weetman and Gordon, the US GAAP and IFRS sites, various specific distributions by PWC andand the distributed records of numerous global companies. Bookkeeping articulations and set up rehearses are frequently dependent upon singular translation and the examination of various writings has empowered the specialist to set up an all encompassing and basic evaluation of the chose points. Contributions from every one of these writings and distributions have been utilized in the readiness of this paper. 2. Generosity Generosity emerges as an immaterial resource and contains the contrast between the expense of an obtaining and the reasonable estimation of its recognizable resources, liabilities and unexpected liabilities. An ongoing investigation by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) gauges that immaterial resources represented roughly 75 % of the bought cost of procured organizations as of late. Expanding consideration is presently being paid on the administration of impalpable resources and the IFRS3 has reacted to this need by itemizing bookkeeping methodology for elusive resources. Generosity makes up roughly 66% of the estimation of elusive resources of US organizations and the figure for organizations enlisted in the EU would apparently be comparable. Bookkeeping of Goodwill emerges on account of acquisitions where the price tag surpasses the net expense of bought substantial resources, the fiscal contrast being ascribed to generosity and other impalpable resources. IFRS strategies, in contrast to US GAAP, recently required the amortization of altruism over a particular number of years, accordingly setting up a fake life for this benefit. This technique has since been changed and with the IFRS position joining with that of GAAP, generosity isn't viewed as a squandering resource any longer. It anyway should be underlined that this alludes just to altruism acquired from acquisitions. Inside produced generosity isn't reflected as an advantage either under IFRS or under US GAAP. The IFRS urges organizations to recognize altruism and other recognizable impalpable resources. As such the estimation of other elusive resources like Research and Development, Patents, Trademarks, Brands and others should be expelled from the altruism bin to show up at the lingering generosity esteem. The treatment of generosity is not quite the same as different intangibles as, subject to intermittent appraisals for weakness, it is relied upon to keep up its worth uncertainly. While both IFRS and US GAAP expect generosity to be esteemed, accommodated, point by point by method of components and reflected in budget summaries, they have unique modes for its bookkeeping treatment. In many acquisitions the measure of generosity is noteworthy on account of the extensive distinction between the price tag and cost of net resources of the procured organization. The distinction in bookkeeping treatment among IFRS and US GAAP along these lines causes the consequences of the fiscal reports arr anged under the two strategies to shift significantly and requires a nitty gritty compromise. There is no quick intend to realize a union between these two methods of treatment, which involves lament. a) Goodwill under IFRS Altruism isn't amortized any more drawn out under IFRS methods and is viewed as an advantage with uncertain life. It anyway must be exposed to a severe weakness test, either every year, or at shorter notification if the need emerges, to evaluate for disintegration in esteem. In case of hindrance, the Profit and Loss Account is accused of the registered disability add up to guarantee the prompt featuring of ineffectively performing acquisitions. Generosity is therefore not seen as a consistently squandering resource yet one with uncertain life; and with a worth connected to the exhibition of the unit. Another noteworthy change in the treatment of generosity has emerged out of the prerequisite for regarding all business blends as buys. This will dispose of the chance of companies㠢â‚ ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ not recording generosity by pooling the benefits and liabilities of different organizations together for planning of fiscal reports. The test for weakness of generosity under the IFRS is completed at the degree of the Cash Generating Unit or a gathering of CGUs speaking to the most reduced level at which interior administrations screen altruism. The IFRS additionally specifies that the level for evaluating debilitation should never be in excess of a business or a topographical section. The test is a one phase process wherein the recoverable measure of the CGU is determined based on the higher of (a) the reasonable worth less expenses to sell or (b) the incentive being used, and afterward contrasted with the conveying sum. On the off chance that the surveyed esteem is lesser than the conveying cost, a fitting charge is made to the benefit and misfortune account. The altruism appropriated to the CGU is decreased expert rata. The IFRS requires nitty gritty divulgences to be distributed with respect to the yearly disability tests. These incorporate the suppositions made for these tests, and the affectability of the aftereffects of the hindrance tests to changes in these presumptions. M/s Radebaugh, Gray and Black, in their book International Accounting and Multinational Enterprises pressure that these exposures are proposed to give investors and budgetary examiners more data about acquisitions, their advantages to the getting organization and the adequacy and sensibili ty of debilitation surveys. Negative generosity emerges when the expense of securing is not exactly the reasonable estimation of the recognizable resources, liabilities and unforeseen liabilities of the organization. While its event is uncommon, negative generosity can well emerge when misfortune making units are procured or a misery deal offers an organization the chance to gain a deal. In such cases IFRS methods specify that the acquirer ought to reevaluate the recognizable proof and estimation of the acquiree㠢â‚ ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s recognizable resources, liabilities and unexpected liabilities and the estimation of the expense of the blend. The abundance of net resources over the expense ought to be perceived and taken to the benefit and shortfall account. Altruism under US GAAP Altruism was treated as a benefit with inconclusive life by US GAAP in any event, when IFRS techniques took into consideration its amortization. The change in IFRS strategies is an in this manner an attractive advance towards union. In US GAAP, generosity is looked into for impedance at the working level, which explicitly demonstrates a business section, or at a lower authoritative level. For no situation can a weakness appraisal be made for a level higher than a business portion. Disability must be done yearly or even at shorter

Books by Muslims to Support Instead of Reading American Heart

Books by Muslims to Support Instead of Reading American Heart Laura Moriarty’s latest book, American Heart, has met with a lot of criticism from authors and readers alike on Twitter. The book’s premise is an America where there are registries and detainment camps for Muslim-Americans. However, instead of using this setting to give an important voice to Muslim characters, American Heart focuses on an apathetic white protagonist who spends the course of the book learning that Muslim people are, in fact, human, and don’t deserve to be detained. During a time where Muslim-Americans (and Muslims worldwide) are suffering due to intense discrimination and Islamophobia, this book is not only completely insensitive but seems to be exploiting a “timely” topic while simultaneously silencing Muslim voices. Recently, the book received a starred review on Kirkus, which claimed it to be a “moving portrait of an American girl discovering her society in crisis, desperate to show a disillusioned immigrant the true spirit of America.” While the books portrayal of Muslim-Americans is disturbing enough, the Kirkus review’s embrace of its white saviour narrative is disheartening. The continued misperception of Muslim-Americans as ignorant and incapable of understanding the true spirit of America without a plucky white volunteer is particularly jarring when the same country, and its mainly white leadership, detains and discriminates against people of Muslim faith.   Some readers might be interested in picking up American Heart, simply because it is being marketed as timely. There are countless reasons why you shouldnt, but the list definitely begins at Islamophobia and the erasure of Muslim voices. Instead of supporting a book that exploits Muslims, support Muslim authors by picking up one of these books:   Middle Grade If you like middle-grade fiction, you can’t go wrong with Karuna Riazi’s The Gauntlet. Not only is she a fantastic writer, but her Twitter thread on Muslim authors to support is what inspired and motivated this post to start off with. Her novel The Gauntlet is a Jumanji-style adventure that is equal parts thrilling, clever, and heartwarming. If you want something contemporary, Henna Khan’s Amina’s Voice,  is a wonderful and warm read about a Pakistani-American girl trying to find her voice in the throes of two cultures. Young Adult Contemporary Samira Ahmed’s brilliant debut Love, Hate, and Other Filters is not out until next year but the book is a fantastic exploration on how terror attacks and subsequent islamophobia can affect young Muslims. Or maybe you could pick up S. K. Ali’s debut, Saints and Misfits, which considers many of the struggles that young, Muslim girls face in this day and age. Or perhaps Aisha Saeed’s Written in the Stars, a novel about forced marriages, will be more your cup of tea. Young Adult Speculative Are you a fan of Speculative fiction? Then you should definitely pick up Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series, which is set in a dystopian world and features a protagonist who can hurt and kill people with a simple touch. Or maybe you should try Sabaa Tahir’s fantasy An Ember in the Ashes series (the highly-anticipated third book in the series will be out next year). Or perhaps Renée Ahdieh The Wrath and the Dawn series, a fantasy re-telling of A Thousand and One Nights. Women’s Fiction If you’re a fan of women’s fiction, you should definitely check out Ayisha Malik’s Sofia Khan Is Not Obliged, which follows the journey of a Muslim woman’s trials and tribulations in Muslim-dating. Fantasy If you like adult fantasy, S. K. Chakraborty’s The City of Brass is a must-read that tells a clever and intricate story full of djinns, magic, love, politics, and so much more. You also can’t go wrong with Ausma Zehanat Khan’s recently released The Bloodprint, which follows a group of women trying to overthrow a patriarchal power. Comic Books Are you a comic book fan? You need to read the amazing Ms. Marvel written by G. Willow Wilson. The comic focuses on Pakistani-American Kamala Khan as she battles super villains and (sometimes) social issues. Non-Fiction Maybe you’re not into fiction at all? No worries! There are plenty of fantastic non-fiction books by Muslim authors that you can sink your teeth into. Muslim Girl  is a brilliant, and often heartbreaking, memoir by Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, the creator of the website muslimgirl. Or maybe you’d like to read an essay collection? Well, you can support British hijabi women by supporting Cut From the Same Cloth, an essay collection that consists solely of British hijabis. This is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are many, many more Muslim authors that you can choose to support instead of reading books like  American Heart, which depend on exploiting Muslims whilst simultaneously erasing our humanity.

Age of Enlightenment and Course Materials Free Essays

Candide worksheetName: Huy Dang Khac The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop the critical thinking skills necessary to write a basic, college-level analytical essay. You may type directly into this file and then upload when finished. Remember that you need to connect what you read in the book to what you are learning from other course materials to complete you answers. We will write a custom essay sample on Age of Enlightenment and Course Materials or any similar topic only for you Order Now Step I: Basic, factual analysis of a reading 1. List three examples of events/methods from Voltaire’s Candide which you believe best illustrate the issues related to the Scientific Revolution and to the Enlightenment. . The reaction of the Portuguese Inquisitor about the earthquake. b. The lifestyle of people in El Dorado. c. The despair of Paquette and the monk Brother Giroflee 2. Now for each point above, explain why this example illustrates these issues. a. Tsunami and earthquake’s acknowledgement are proof of developing science. The reaction of the Inquisitor for trying to kill Candide and Pangloss because of the earthquake is a typical example of the abuse of the church on people. It’s used to prove that what the church said is wrongful and people foolishly believe in what they are told. b. El Dorado is essentially the utopia of nobles, people living during the Enlightenment era. Street are covered with precious stones No Priests All of the king’s jokes are funny. Nobody care about gold or fighting over gold in the kingdom. King is kind and helpful. c. It’s the freedom of expression about their philosophies in life. They are noticing the ugly truth of their life as a sexual object and obeying religion against the will of person. . Finally, place each point above into the historical context (this means to make direct connections of this point to other specific information you have learned about the era from the other course materials) a. The Lisbon earthquake in Nov 1, 1755. b. French revolution in 18th century. c. The Seven Years War. 4. Compare Candide to the Appendix from Theodicity by Wilhelm Gottfried Leibnitz (found in the course mate rials under Assignments and Quizzes / Candide Assignment). List one example where the two sources agree. God did not choose the best course. . List one example where the two sources differ from each other. Every event is predetermined. 6. What do you think it means if the materials agree? It’s consistent among authors about the philosophy of religion belief/ life. Therefore, it’s a creditable source of outcome for further studies. When a material is proven to be true in two or more sources, its defense is stronger to believe in. It’s easier for readers, scholars to utilize in debating an issue. It opens way for discussion of an idea from multi perspectives. 7. What should you do with information that differs? First, I don’t pick which side I’ll support and which I’ll not. Search for facts (if possible), logical reasoning. Evaluating idea from my own experiences. Asking other people about their thought on both sides, then I compare and contrast both idea against each other’s. The result could end up be one side over another or a combination of both. PART II: How to use a period piece of literature (here answer the questions using your common sense and critical thinking skills) 1. List two reasons why students should be cautious in using a piece of literature in historical analysis. a. Piece of literature consists of belief and opinions, which are strongly opposed to historical analysis requiring good use of data, event. b. Piece of literature is written in a mocking way of the real society. Students should pay attention to the reliability of author of such piece to avoid bias in historical analysis. 2. Give an example from Voltaire’s book for each of the reasons raised a bove. a. Candide and Pangloss’s optimism – which are reflecting the belief of Voltaire They are opinion not facts. There are uncertainties about the truth of the society behind this thought. b. Voltaire’s idea of El Dorado: Once again, this is the utopia of Voltaire, which may or may not be the haven of other people. Believing in such event is over generalizing the thought of people in the society. 3. List two reasons why students should use a period piece of literature. a. It gives the idea, thought of people who are living in the society at that time. It’s more relevant than assuming the life condition base on dry facts. b. It’s useful when students want to do a compare and contrast to the theory they are studying. It gives students various perspectives to view an issue. 4. Now give an example from Voltaire’s book for each of the reasons raised above. a. The tsunami, earthquake in Lisbon and the reaction of the Inquisitor. b. Life of labor in the society during the whole stories. PART III: Sketching out an Essay In this section of the worksheet, you will see how all the course materials start to come together. If you were writing an essay, you would want to draw your conclusions and make your inferences using a wide variety of examples to make your points and provide supporting evidence (which would likely lead to an â€Å"A† paper). Keep this in mind as you answer the rest of the questions here. Now, suppose I were to assign the following essay topic (DO NOT WRITE AN ESSAY): In the period between the middle of the seventeenth century and the French Revolution Europe underwent a period of transformation in terms of scientific and social thought with had far-reaching implications in legal issues as well. Examine the impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European politics, law, and society. What examples would you use from Candide book (taking into consideration the concepts we have just worked with in Parts I and II) to back up/illustrate your analysis of each of the following points (give one example per each). Once again, you need to consider ALL that you have learned from the course materials, not just from reading this book. 1. One key impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European society: 2. One key impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European politics: 3. One key impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European law: Now broaden out your analysis to use other documents/textbook/readings or other non-textbook materials/lectures. Give two examples for each of the three categories above: 1. Scientific Revolution like Copernicus’s theories about the earth and sun, which the earth is not the center of our solar system. This went against the way that churches were teaching (Before, Plato believed that Earth was the center of the universe). Also, Galileo Galilei with the discovery of telescope and the law of the pendulum, both prove that Aristole was wrong. Both of them prove that Church could be wrong in science by their scientific method and reason. In the end, people began to ask themselves that what if they can understand other things in life by using scientific method and reason. Started back in 1500s, people went on to use reason, experiment, and observations to develop and progress. . John Locke was a philosopher. He believed that people were able to govern themselves; therefore he did not like the absolute monarch. He wanted more power for ordinary people (because everybody is born free and were right to life, liberty, and property. Later, his book had a big effect on what we think about politics and government today. Voltaire was one of the most important philosophers of the Enlightenment. H e spent much of his life to criticize the church for freedom of religion and speech. In Voltaire’s idea, the best ruler would be an enlightened monarch, who studied the science of government and protected the basic rights of the people. The philosophes were concerned about social and religious issues. They encouraged education as the way to end ignorance, and superstition. 3. Deism was the idea that universe was created by a higher being (God). According to deist, there are no supernatural acts, such as miracles, manifestation, messages; they considered it as religious superstition. The Spirit of the Laws by Montesquieu, who argued that power of the king, came from people, not from God or Divine Right. In conclusion, the Enlightenment changed the way that people thought about science, religion, politics, and laws. We can still see those effects in our lives today. Now, if you were really writing an essay, you would have organized all of your strong examples to use in supporting your â€Å"big picture† analysis that comes from the text and lecture materials. You are ready to write a well-organized, critical thinking analytical essay on the above topic (DO NOT DO THIS). How to cite Age of Enlightenment and Course Materials, Essay examples

Ruining Your Writing by Cheap Blogging

Ruining Your Writing by Cheap Blogging Ruining Your Writing by Cheap Blogging Ruining Your Writing by Cheap Blogging By Michael Ali recently gave us five reasons why blogging improves your writing, and I dont disagree with any of them. What ruined my writing ability (temporarily, I hope) was not the chance to write regularly or to get instant feedback. So what ruined it? Did I get worse the more I practiced? Can that even happen? Sports coaches and music teachers will tell you that it can if you practice doing it wrong instead of doing it right. If you repeatedly practice bad habits, they will become ingrained habits. Email and instant messaging may have taught people how to type better, but I dont think its teaching them to write better. What ruined my writing ability was placing money and productivity higher than integrity and honor. I told myself, This assignment pays half of what I need to earn per hour; therefore, I will only spend half an hour on it. In retrospect, I realized that I was gaining income, but losing self-respect. I was quickly lowering my standards to meet my financial goals, but found that I couldnt raise them back again so easily. In essence, I was training myself to write sloppily. Disclaimer: Daily Writing Tips is a good example of a blog that attracts lovers of writing and pays them well. Ive done some of my best work here. Perhaps Ive done even better writing on my personal blog for which I receive no money at all. There is an economic aspect to writing professionally, of course, but I found that it also involves economics that are not monetary. The British economist E.F. Schumacher called this meta-economics. A job working with hazardous chemicals may earn you a higher salary, but may cost you in quality of life. Writing only for the money, even when my heart wasnt in it, paid most of the bills. But meeting a word count without meeting my personal standards, in effect, lowered my personal standards. I almost forgot what they were. I found out what had happened to me when I was offered a secure job in the marketing department at a local university. I took it and put my freelance writing career on hold. My freelance writing experience was one reason why I was hired. Yet when I began writing documentation for my new boss, he was unenthusiastic about using it. The problem wasnt my style or grammar or punctuation. He only told me, Ive found that when you really understand something, you can explain it clearly. Professional blogging, for low pay and not for love, hadnt taught me to explain things clearly. We expect bloggers to entertain us more than to inform us. When we expect them to inform us, we dont expect complete information. Theres nothing wrong with that. Ive found, however, that you advance by exceeding peoples expectations, not simply meeting them. And you wont advance as a writer when you dont meet your own expectations, especially when you tell yourself that you dont need to. To be fair, I was not a typical blogger. I was a professional blogger, trying to support my family and pay a mortgage in the US economy. When I complained mildly to one of my editors about my low pay scale, he wisely pointed out that my rate was typical for the industry. Even more wisely, he told me that most of my fellow writers were blogging because they loved their subject, not because they were depending on an extra few dollars to pay the mortgage. The danger Im warning against is not confined to the world of professional blogging. Everyone who writes for the money but doesnt get much of it is tempted to cut corners. Writing keyword-rich SEO copy is perhaps even more dangerous for aspiring writers. At least blogs have to appeal to human beings. That isnt a requirement for SEO copy. Every time you tell yourself, I can dash off this post; I dont need to devote any time or thought to it, you make it easier to do it the next time and the next time. Its quite easy to lose your critical ear and lower your standards if you deliberately do it over and over. Youre never writing only for others. Youre always writing for yourself too. Youre never dealing only with money. Youre also dealing with your ability and integrity. Your writing skills are like the assets of a bank account. You can add to your assets by doing your best work, all the time, and always raising the bar. You can lose assets as a writer when you dont. Want to improve your English in five minutes a day?

Emotion Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Emotion - Essay Example Motivational and emotional processes give rise to a natural gift n the environment known as interaction. [2] Motivation is the desire, the willingness to do something, it is an experienced emotion. In order to understand motivation well its relationship with emotion should be understood. A person living goes through emotions when he/she achieves or does not achieve something in live. The emotions help the person to experience the benefit that was brought through achievement and the disadvantages of the lack of achievement. In emotion there is a hidden tendency to avoid something that is harmful and also has a motivational factor towards things that benefit them and lead them to act. Motivation minimizes the fear of existence and gives a feeling of safety, security and avoids fear. In order to obtain something in life you really wanted, you need to be highly motivational and not thinking about others opinion of it and aiming at it to win. [1] Somatic Theories: It lies under biological approach and was established in 1884 by William James. In this theory he states that a changed situation leads to the bodily changes which results in emotional experience revealing stirring facts about the perceptions. For example, encountering a bear in the woods results in the heart beating faster producing adrenaline. This adrenaline results in the emotion of fear rising. Cannon-Bard Theory: it also lies under the biological approach a... by James (as mentioned above) but he criticizes that the bodily changes does not just give rise to an emotion but they motivate the person to act upon it. Therefore on an encounter with a bear, fear raises and due to this emotion the person is motivated to move away from the place of danger by running away as fast as he can. Schaster's Theory: It lies under the cognitive approach and was established in 1962 by Schaster. In this emotion is thought to be the part of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation.

The Englishman's Boy by Guy Vanderhaeghe Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words

The Englishman's Boy by Guy Vanderhaeghe - Essay Example The author has used the technique of interconnecting time lines and story narratives in adopting a post-modern approach to portray details of the Cypress Hills Massacre, which is characteristic of demonstrating the relationship between conflicting historical versions. This paper will focus on the power commanded by Rachel Gold, the main female character and on how other women in the novel are oppressed, which will be substantiated with reference to the histories of women’s roles in early Hollywood. Main Body The story is narrated by Harry Vincent whose dream woman is Rachel Gold. Rachel is a Jewish vampy screen writer who helps Harry Vincent get a job as a writer of film plots with Best Chance Pictures after he arrives in Hollywood from Saskatchewan. Rachel is depicted as a powerful lady of very strong character as she maneuvers her life through a male dominated environment. She s able to create a place for herself and is recognized for her ability to write screenplays in surroundings where people hated women. She is portrayed as being extremely beautiful and catches the eyes of several men in Hollywood. But she was outnumbered in terms of her sex as well as religion. Rachel managed to gain immense recognition and clout in Hollywood because of her pulpy screen plays, which made her a force to reckon with whereby no one could take her lightly. She is depicted as being very considerate towards Harry and his un-well mother. Because of Rachel’s strong influence over film makers, she develops her own style of portraying the presence of anti-Semitic feelings in Hollywood as more and more Jews start entering the film making business in terms of starting production houses and directing films. It is perhaps in this context that Rachel enjoyed saying that â€Å"The true test of any scenario is to read it to a cameraman. Cameramen are invariably Irish and invariably drunk. If they can grasp the plot, the moral, the theme of your simple tale through an alchoholic haze, you can be assured you have struck the proper intellectual level† (36). She had the veracity to challenge film producers with her screen writing and often got away even after declaring that men can be divided into two distinct classes; gigolos and cruel people (Staines, 1997). The most noteworthy features of the novel are the moral issues that are raised by intentionally creating suggestions relative to another massacre, the Holocaust (Vanderhaeghe, 1997). Just as the Holocaust was attributed to H itler, the author attributes the Cyprus Hills Massacre to Tom Hardwick who was leading the wolfers. Although the number of Assinboine killed in the massacre were only about 20, the author clearly lays emphasis on the white-indian conflict, including the sufferings that characterized the way in which the history of the region was shaped. The story assumes further importance in the context f the Holocaust because Rachel was also a Jew. In all the references to Hollywood, the author depicts a strong link with the Holocaust that has contributed to contemporary debates in regard to whether writers should be held responsible for the anti Semitic feelings created by their work (Janes, 2002). Menckenian rhetoric is used by Rachel because she believes in boorishness and accepts it with a great deal of distaste in the context of what was demanded by the public from Hollywood films. Rachel is able to accurately represent Mencken’s oratory and concepts relative to language that distingui shes her from characters such as Harry and Chance. She does not favor elements in Chance’s style such as his style of manipulating languages to

Creating a Student Portal for Bataan Peninsula State University Essay

The project is to create a Student Portal for Bataan Peninsula State University. Its purpose is to raise the availability of certain students’ records like the grades, finances/billing, and curriculum checklist. Along with, is the process of encoding students’ final grades and the forming of the dean’s list. Using the student portal, data can be accessible at any time and location over the Internet. Background of the Study The Bataan Peninsula State University was established by virtue of Republic Act 9403, signed into law on 22nd of March 2007. It is a conglomeration of fine leading higher education institutions in Bataan seeking  to contribute to the national and regional development through providing excellent quality of services in instruction, research, production and extension. Guided by one Vision of becoming a university of excellence acknowledged not only in the country but also in the Asia-Pacific Region, BPSU shall continue to gear toward the realization of its mission of providing quality and relevant education in order to contribute to the national and regional development. Before the conversion, BPSU used to have three campuses; two are located in the City of Balanga while the third is situated in Orani. The passage  of RA 9403 resulted to the expansion of BPSU’s campuses as the said Act duly integrated the Bataan State College in Dinalupihan and its satellite campus in Abucay (formerly Bataan National Agricultural School). The five campuses of the university have very humble beginnings and yet they all emerged with glorious histories to be proud of. More empowerment is expected to be bestowed to each campus as their strengths shall be utilized for the success of the 111 programs and other services of the university. On June 2008, the University made education more accessible to the residents of the towns of  Bagac and Morong by establishing an extension in the Municipality of Bagac. The extension offers some of the most in demand courses in the country like BS Entrepreneurship, BS Hotel and Restaurant Management, first two years of Nursing, and General Engineering courses. Contributing to national development has always been the topmost priority of the university; therefore BPSU relentlessly keeps itself updated on the recent trends to be responsive to the present and future demands of the community. At present university has three programs granted with Level 1 Accreditation from AACCUP. Fifty-six (56) programs are scheduled for accreditation from 2008 to 2012. Moreover, the university continues to equip itself with faculty and employees who have remarkable skills and knowledge in order to uphold academic excellence and maintain its capacity of producing quality graduates. At present, 6 percent of its faculty have Doctorate degrees and 31 percent have master’s degrees. The rest are still working on their post-baccalaureate studies. It is not surprising that the enrollment continues to increase over the years as the university has proven its capability to match and even to surpass  the performance of other reputable universities in the country in various competitions and also in the licensure exams. Other than this, low tuition fee rates, and pollution-free and safe environment further encourage the Bataenos and those from other nearby provinces to patronize BPSU. For BPSU, a life without challenges to conquer would be futile as the university always stretches the limit to adapt to the changes and to turn trials into opportunities. Even cuts in the budget will not impede BPSU from attaining its goals. Aside from relying on its several IGPs to augment the  budget and sustain its programs, the university continues to strengthen and to establish partnerships with local and international agencies that are more than willing to work side by side BPSU as it continues its journey towards a more dignified future. [bpsu. edu. ph] Every educational institution has its sole priority to give the best learning out from their best performances of teachings, processes and resources to their students. And, BPSU which is one of these institutions had already proven that they can absolutely give it. In the University’s actual operation, there are lots of offices and  departments that are responsible on producing, maintaining and keeping every student’s records. Two of these are the Registrar’s department and the Finance’s department. Along the Registrar’s department is where the student’s documents are piled. Student’s documents consisting of personal data and academic information from their previous schools and from BPSU itself which are produced due to the span of years of the student’s admission in the University, for instance, are the grades. Another department mentioned is the Finance’s department; this also conducts one of the main tasks required for tracking the admission of the  student every school year. That task is to keep files with regards to all of their finances, including all of the payments that are made, balances and other financial issues. These certain information of a student can also be found in the enrollment system that was used by the Registrar’s Office, it is how the Registrar has the authority to view the financial status of a student. Students must know every transaction that was made in the University especially when it has to do with their own concerns. They must always be informed of all the latest records that were kept and reported to  the offices responsible for their stay-in within the institution. On the registrar’s part, a student is not allowed to have an update or a look within their record every time they desired. Considering that the registrar is also busy for other major works assigned to him. Seemingly, it will just consume time and effort for finding a particular record in their repositories. A student can only be given the opportunity, which depends on the situation. Naturally, grades were available every end of the semester in a printed form, though, some of the instructors are considerate in informing a student of the grades as often as possible. While on the finance office part, the records kept are confidential. In order for a student to be informed of the balances remaining on their account, the student should ask the finance officer. But it’s not that simple, as the officer is not free to answer every student’s questions or uncertainties at anytime. At some point in a semester, the finance’s department issues the statement of account of each student that still has remaining balances that must be paid in order to be given a permit that is a requirement before taking an examination On pondering on these unwanted situations experienced by the  students, the thought of having a medium that will grant access to student’s account as often as they want sprung up. The medium is what we called a Students’ Portal. A portal or a web portal, also known as a links page, presents information from diverse sources in a unified way. Apart from the standard search engine feature, web portals offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock prices, information, databases and entertainment. Portals provide a way for enterprises to provide a consistent look and feel with access control and procedures for multiple applications and databases, which  otherwise would have been different entities altogether. Some related studies are researched and included on the documentation for further comprehension of the proposed system. †¢Orani Water District Intranet Based Public Information Kiosk This thesis is made by the IPiK Group, BSIT students of Colegio de San Juan de Letran – Bataan that aims to create an integrated public access information system to be used by employees and visitors of Orani Water District that will improve the current process of dissemination of information. Also, the developers target the replacement of old bulletin boards with digital ones. All the information contained and posted on a bulletin board will be encoded and displayed in a public access computer, with a web-based interface to access the information. The public access computer will be implemented in a client-server environment. A domain controller will be used to apply access control and policies to the public access computer. The officer-in-charge only has to encode the information on the system rather than printing it and then posting it on the bulletin board. The system will only be updated by an administrator. The company’s system administrator will handle the updates and backups. The backups will be made using MS SQL Server 2005’s automatic backup service. The backup files will be stored on a backup DVD-ROM. The system will not be available online, only through the intranet. It will be available only from 8 AM to 5 PM. The proposed system named as Letran-Abucay Students’ Portal has the same objective with the IPik Group thesis that is to render information for the users. The main users of the Orani Water District Intranet-based Public Information Kiosk are the customers, while for the Students’ Portal are apparently the students. What will be the difference of the two is that the  Students’ Portal will be a web-based application and is accessible using a web browser which is opposed to the public information kiosk that is a window-based application. †¢Bataan Information System This thesis is made by the STI-Bataan students under the advisory of Ms. Cristina de Leon, who is now a Letran IT Professor. It is about the designing and developing of a Bataan Information System in a multimedia form and to solve the problems encountered by the provincial government in promoting Bataan. The Information System will be easy to access and directed to the end-user and will support an interactive environment with a  user-friendly feature in promoting the province of Bataan. Information system is frequently used to refer to the interaction between people, processes, data and technology. In this sense, the term is used to refer not only to the information and communication technology (ICT) an organization uses, but also to the way in which people interact with this technology in support of business processes (Wikipedia) Giving information is how the two systems, which are the Bataan Information System and the proposed students’ portal, are similar. Both render numbers of information that are accessible by an authorized user in a  computerized process. †¢Campus Portals a Framework for Development Accommodating End-users’ Online Activities (an International Thesis) This thesis is about the development of a campus portal created for the University of Wollongong; thus was prepared by Tharitpong Fuangvut on 2005. A Campus Portal is an exciting recent phenomenon forming part of the new generation of online services for all stakeholders in institutions of higher education. Conceptually the general notion of a Portal should be to be distinguished from that of other Web- based applications and the traditional Intranet of the institution. The major objective of this research is to propose a development methodology specifically suitable for Campus Portal projects. While there are many accepted development methodologies for traditional and Web-based Information Systems, no clear body of knowledge on the development of Campus Portals has yet been recognized. Additionally, as this is a new area, the definitions, terms, concepts and important issues agreed to by academic researchers and practitioners, are still evolving. This research, therefore, needs to clarify and identify some important issues regarding Campus Portals  and their development, prior to composing the development methodology. In the second and third phases of the research, two studies were carried out, a preliminary study and a case study. These generated more understanding of the issues and extended the body of knowledge on Campus Portals, especially concerning their development. The preliminary study explored and investigated the online services and Campus Portals of 40 higher education institutions’ sites in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK and Canada. The findings of the preliminary study show that there are no standard patterns in the function of  personalization and customization in Campus Portals. The case study was conducted in an Australian university among the major stakeholder groups, namely, the development team and the end-users (students and academic staff). Students were the primary focus of the end-user study, from which data was collected using a survey to build up usage patterns of their online activities. Statement of Goals Due to the data gatherings that the researcher had conducted many thoughts lead the proponent to know and study more of the certain dilemmas and inefficiencies that taking place within the process wherein  the people affected perhaps are not aware. Currently, students are given limits on viewing their own records kept by the University due to several uncertainties it will cost, uncertainties that include lack of time and extensive work of the people involved. Furthermore, the proponent had also studied prior concerns which will benefit everyone that are included on the process once implemented on the system: †¢Security of data that will ensure a protected system that traces and prevents unauthorized access; †¢Encoding of the final grades that is one of the tasks of the faculty every end of a semester; †¢Downloadable and printable documents such as the Grades Slip coming from the Registrar’s office and a variety of forms coming from the Dean’s office. †¢Availability of students’ list with final grades which will help the Dean to generate the Dean’s list. The following goals are made and collected by the proponent through the aim of resolving the concerns mentioned. The goals are as follow: General Goal To develop a Student’s Portal for Bataan Peninsula State University that will enable students to access their personal, academic and financial records. Specific Goal To implement an authentication of users through the  use of ID no and password, as to prevent intruders and to assure the safety of all the data transmitted over the network. To incorporate a module for encoding the final grades of students every semester that the faculty uses. To provide downloadable and printable forms those are being retrieved from the Dean’s, Registrar’s and Finance office. To include a module that will enable the Dean to view the academic status of the students that she can use as basis for retrieving the Dean’s list. Significance of the Study For the Students Students are the ones that have a great benefit on the students’  portal because it will provide them quick access of their taken subjects prior to the curriculum they had enrolled with the corresponding final grades for each. Also, the system ensures the confidentiality and the update of records for each semester as long as new grades are issued to help the students be informed of their academic performance in the University. Aside from grades and subjects that can be viewed, a student will also have the privilege to view some his or her financial data that was managed by the finance office. For the Dean’s office Using the students’ portal, the Dean is able to view the academic  status of the students that include detail such as the final grades and to gather the names of those that are included on the Dean’s list. And also, as the portal offers a module for downloadable forms that are coming from the office, the task for issuing these certain forms will be eliminated thus reducing the workload of the Dean. For the Registrar’s Office As the students will be provided of options on determining their academic records, whether to just view it on the portal or to still ask for a printed copy coming from the Registrar’s office, somehow there will be a lessening of task on the Registrar’s part. For the Finance Office The Finance office can gain benefit from the students’ portal since the students can already check over their financial records online reducing the printing of documents such as the statement of accounts if permitted. For the Future Researchers The future researchers can acquire fundamental knowledge from and be able to use this thesis documentation as basis of their own research study if it’s all about developing a students’ portal. For the Developer To the developer, this will also provide better comprehension of her proposed system that will lead her to the further understanding of the entire  study that surely they can use on preparation of a brighter future that awaits her as IT professional. Scope and Limitations This study will focus on creating a students’ portal for Bataan Peninsula State University which is web-based where student records are the prior concern and accessible online. Student records that include: †¢Student’s personal information †¢Curriculum checklist that comprises all the subjects taken and to be taken by the student based on the University’s curriculum and the final grades for each †¢Grades records that consist of all the grades of the student for all his  subjects that he can query through supplying of a school year or semester. †¢Financial information that comprises the tuition fee with miscellaneous fees and discount fee, if there’s any, of a student. †¢Subject offering that pertains to the schedule of each subject that a student had enrolled belongs. The student can use this link to plan for his schedule for the upcoming semester. †¢Class Schedule encloses all the subject schedules of a student. As part of the authentication that was implemented on the portal, the users must provide an authorized username and password. On the system  there will be four types of user’s account: the student the faculty, the dean, the registrar and the administrator. In the Student account, the authorized tasks that users can do are: †¢Viewing of their records in through selecting from the following links: myProfile; myGrades that contains sub links such as Semester Grades, Curriculum Checklist, Collection of Grades; myFinance, mySubjectOffering and mySchedule. †¢Viewing other student’s or faculty staff’s records through selecting mySearch link, sending and receiving of messages through myInbox which is a form of messaging. †¢And, printing and downloading of forms such as Grades slip,  curriculum checklist and forms issued by the Dean and Registrar(eg. Change of Grade Form) Second, in the Faculty account, the authorized tasks that users can do are: †¢Entering student’s final grades for a particular subject, section school year and semester through the use of myClassRecord. †¢Viewing other student’s or faculty staff’s records through mySearch. †¢Uploading of lessons for the students Third, in the Dean account, the authorized tasks that Dean can do are: †¢Viewing of the Dean’s list for the current and the previous school year and semester. †¢Searching students to review their academic performance from the first year of his admission up to the present. †¢Searching class schedules by entering the assigned beginning and ending time of a class, in order for the Dean to be informed of what particular class is was going on for a moment. †¢Viewing faculty subject loads and schedules. Fourth, in the Registrar account, the authorized tasks that Registrar can do are: †¢Viewing of student’s general weighted average. †¢Updating the grades of a student that obtained a INC remarks from the past school year. †¢And, selecting the students that will form the Dean’s List. Lastly, the Administrator account, the authorized tasks that Registrar can do are: †¢Conversion of tables of records from MS Foxpro format to MS SQL. †¢Setting the current school year and semester. †¢Uploading of downloadable forms. †¢And, reset users’ passwords. The following are the limitations of the Students’ Portal: †¢Only the â€Å"Other Information† part and the password are the only records in the student’s page that can be altered. †¢Only the administrator can convert the tables from MS Foxpro format to SQL/simply add records on the database, can set the school year and can upload forms. †¢Only final grades are to be encoded by the faculty. Faculty cannot  edit anymore the grades of the students that belong to the previous school year and semester. †¢Only the faculty user and student users can exchange messages. †¢Only the Registrar can update the INC remarks of students that completed the subject. †¢Lastly, only the registrar can form the dean’s list. Definition of Terms †¢Transaction – a transaction usually means a sequence of information exchange and related work. A transaction is a unit of work that you want to treat as â€Å"a whole†. It has to either happen in full, or not at all. †¢Records – In computer data processing, a record is a collection of data  items arranged for processing by a program. Multiple records are contained in a file or data set. The organization of data in the record is usually prescribed by the programming language that defines the record’s organization and/or by the application that processes it. †¢Portal – a term, generally synonymous with gateway, for a World Wide Web site that is or proposes to be a major starting site for users when they get connected to the Web or that users tend to visit as an anchor site. †¢Web Portal – also known as a links page, presents information from diverse sources in a unified way. Apart from the standard search  engine feature, web portals offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock prices, information, databases and entertainment. †¢Links – Using hypertext, a link is a selectable connection from one word, picture, or information object to another. In a multimedia environment such as the World Wide Web, such objects can include sound and motion video sequences. †¢Search Engine – designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are usually presented in a list of results and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. †¢Database – is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. In one view, databases can be classified according to types of content: bibliographic, full-text, numeric, and images. †¢Client-server – describes the relationship between two computer programs in which one program, the client, makes a service request from another program, the server, which fulfills the request. †¢Web-based – refers to those applications or services that are resident on a server that is accessible using a Web browser and is therefore accessible from anywhere in the world via the Web. †¢Technology – the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, and crafts, or is systems or methods of organization, or is a material product (such as clothing) of these things. The word technology comes from the Greek technologia techne ‘craft’ and -logia, the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include â€Å"construction technology†, â€Å"medical technology†, or â€Å"state-of-the-art technology†. †¢Application – program or group of programs designed for end users. Software can be divided into two general classes: systems software  and applications software †¢ Methodology Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) provides a set of models, principles, and guidelines for designing and developing enterprise solutions in a way that ensures that all elements of a project, such as people, processes and tools, can be successfully managed. MSF also provides proven practices for planning, designing, developing, and deploying successful enterprise solutions. The researcher had intended to use MSF for her methodologies especially because they are in use of Microsoft solution tools such as the Microsoft. NET Framework and the Microsoft SQL Server. MSF has five phases these are the: Envisioning, Planning, Developing, Stabilizing and Deploying. Envisioning Phase – This phase broadly describes the goals and constraints of the study. During this phase, the reseacher gathered necessary information and resources for developing a students’ portal. One of the activities that were conducted is an interview with BPSU’s database administrator to further determine what are the things and transactions necessary to put on the portal to satisfy the needs of the University and the predicted users. Some of the approved transactions are the viewing of student’s profile including the  personal, academic and financial information; encoding of final grades and forming of the Dean’s list. Risk assessment regarding the developing of the system is also accomplished. On the process, the impact of the consequence is learned by determining the likelihood of its occurrence and the severity of the outcome relative to established project objectives. The envisioning phase culminates in the vision approved milestone. This milestone is the first point at which the project team and customer agree on the overall direction for the project, including what the product will and will not include. Planning Phase – This phase determines what to develop and how to develop it. The process of information is modified, gathered and undergoes three design processes namely conceptual, logical and physical perspective. During this phase, the researcher planned how to develop the Bataan Peninsula State University students’ portal on the way its functionality can achieve the requirements of the educational institution. For conceptual design process, the expectations of the users or beneficiary of the study must be achieved like the proposal that students by using the portal can easily view their own records. For the logical design process, this meet the developer’s steps and requirements on how to develop the said system, like in an instance the system software solution will be developed using Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL Server Management studio. This solution is able to interact and communicate with other transaction processes, applications and data source. Lastly for the Physical design process, with the developer’s perspective, the development of the system will be a great help and ease not only for the students but also for the offices of the University that handles student’s information keeping considering the volumes of users  and transactions. There would be a web-based implementation of a portal which will be used as the primary means for dissemination of the student’s profiles and information. The planning phase culminates in the Project plan approved milestone. This milestone is the point at which the project team, the customer, and key project stakeholders agree on the feature set and the design of the application. The Project plan approved milestone is essentially the contract with the customer to proceed with the project. Developing Phase – During this phase, the solution is developed and optimized until it is  deemed ready for production use. On this phase, the student’s portal is developed. The researcher experienced several revisions on the design, the basic functionalities and on the core transaction in order to follow the needs of the identified users. The development phase culminates in the Scope Complete milestone. At this milestone, all features are complete, and the product is ready for external testing and stabilization. This milestone is the opportunity for customers and end users, operations and support personnel, and key project stakeholders to evaluate the product and identify any remaining  issues they need to address before it ships. Stabilizing Phase – This phase conducts testing of the complete solution. During this phase, the researcher focuses on resolving and prioritizing bugs and preparing the solution for release. The stabilization phase culminates with the release of the product. The Release milestone occurs when the team has addressed all outstanding issues and shipped the product or placed it in service. At the Release milestone, responsibility for ongoing management and support of the product officially transfers from the project team to the operations and support organization. Deploying phase – the developer deploys the core technology and site components, stabilizes the deployment, transitions the project to operations and support, and obtains final customer approval of the project. After the deployment, the developer conducts a project review and a customer satisfaction survey. During this phase, the developer tested the usability of the students’ portal and determined whether it has achieved the requirements of the University that are identified during the envisioning stage by letting some selected persons from the proposed users/customers. The deployment complete milestone culminates the deploying phase.
