I have developed my understanding in the niche of politics and the UK electoral system, which has allowed me to consider thoroughly the intricacies of what politics involves. For example, it requires one to feel fundamentally passionate about their pledges, and to appease a wide audience. What you pledge for must also be pragmatic and achievable, otherwise you’ll be unable to follow up on your intentions. I have also figured that politics is extremely cut-throat, as when mitigating one-half of the population, the other half will be hugely disappointed, and likely to campaign against the pledges, and therefore many politicians have to make compromising in order to become supported. Politics is fundamentally about

In this essay, the effect of the intensity of external light on the rate of photosynthesis is carried out and investigated through a series of experiments. Firstly, the Pygmy Chain Sword plant was placed in normal sunshine, with a light intensity of 2.62 lux, and the rate of photosynthesis was monitored (measured by the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water) for one day to see how much dissolved oxygen was produced in normal conditions of light intensities. Then, the plant was exposed to

Infant feeding

Assignment Title : Infant Feeding. P1 . (i) In the case of a breast feeding mother, describe : (a) the preparations needed : Though breastfeeding is natural, technique is a learned skill. It is important to get started correctly, even before the baby is born. The mother needs to know well in advance how to identify and avoid possible problems, and where to turn if difficulties do arise. Many breastfeeding problems may occur when mothers establish their nursing patterns. With proper and prompt attention, the majority of these problems disappear as quickly as they develop. Education about the benefits and practice of breastfeeding are keys to optimal preparation. The local hospital may offer breastfeeding classes as part of the childbirth class, or mothers can join other breastfeeding support groups. These classes can put mothers in touch with a lactation specialist who may later be their personal breastfeeding consultant. These classes can also help mums to learn proper positioning and latch-on techniques. Mothers have to plan to learn as much as they can about breastfeeding. Mothers will be making an important investment in their baby's continued good health. An abundance of valuable reference material is available to help mums to get started. No specific physical preparation is necessary for optimal breastfeeding. General good health measures and adequate hydration

Music revision note

Articulation Articulation is how smoothly or 'spiky' something is played. Legato (Italian for 'linked together') means 'played smoothly'. Staccato (Italian for 'detached') means 'played short and sharp', and is indicated by short vertical strokes or dots above or below the note. Unison Music that has no chordal accompaniment, where different instruments or parts play or sing the same notes is described as in unison. Fugue A fugue is a special type of polyphonic texture. Fugues always begin with a tune that is played on a solo instrument/voice or by instruments/voices in unison. This tune is then played by all the other instruments or voices in turn but not necessarily at the same pitch. Syncopations Syncopations are when notes are played off the beat. It is a very common rhythmic device. Syncopations are often written with a tie, a curved line that links two notes. The 2nd note of the tie is not actually played. Time signatures Time signatures contain two numbers. * The top number indicates the number of beats in each bar. * The bottom number is a code for what the beat is measured in. Cadences A cadence is formed by two chords at the end of a passage of music. Perfect cadences sound like the music has come to an end. Interrupted cadences are 'surprise' cadences. You think you are going to hear a perfect cadence, but you get a minor chord instead. Imperfect

Software Fundamentals

2.2.1 Software Fundamentals Social and ethical issues Bug Free Software What are the issues associated with this subject? In today's moneymaking society in which results are the main focus of every business, it is not uncommon to find programmers rushing to meet deadlines. In their rush, programmers often tend to overlook bugs or errors in their work. This leads to the question of whether having software released faster with more bugs is better than having software released more slowly, but with fewer bugs. Who are the stakeholders? What are the major advantages and disadvantages for the stakeholders? The stakeholders in this issue are major software companies such as Microsoft. If they continue to release software that is full of bugs instead of testing it to make sure that it is perfect or at least near perfect, other software vendors will eventually create new software that contains fewer bugs and has better functions. People will start to turn to the more bug free software and use it instead. This has already been shown with Internet Explorer and the release of Mozilla Firefox. Internet Explorer was infamous for its security issues, and Firefox promised a better, more secure internet browser. As a result, many decided to switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox. However, there are always people who decide to remain loyal, and this is clear when one notices the

A comparison and analysis of the speed and efficiency between Microsofts Windows XP and Apples Macintosh OS X Tiger: which operating system performs faster and efficiently, under certain common features that users need?

International Baccalaureate Extended Essay Name: Sagar Sood Subject: Information Technology in a Global Society (ITGS) Word Count: 3903 Supervisor: Mr. Laney School: International Community School of Addis Ababa Abstract This essay compares and analyzes the speed and efficiency-in-use, for the mounting number of users around the world, of the widely recognized operating systems: Windows XP and Macintosh OS X Tiger. It also takes another step by determining which feature from the operating system is preferable for what kind of users. After looking at the statistics for both operating systems, including the most commonly used features and functions, a thorough and detailed analysis is taken in order to draw a distinction between the aspects. Finally, the aspects and its results are combined in order to produce conclusions on the impact of it on the varied types of users. The essay explores the impact of the different aspects on the users, whether students or businessmen. CD/DVD burning speeds is one aspect that's important for many that includes photo shoot firms. Having bulk printouts is one common phenomenon that occurs daily in millions of offices around the world. Having a better speed in printing does not only brings ease, but also saves time for the ever-growing companies where money talks in time. Having looked over the statistics, it is clear that quantity

Extended Essay: How do different Flavours, Storage Times affect the Effectiveness of Crisps as a Fuel?

How do different Flavours, Storage Temperatures and Storage Times affect the Effectiveness of a Crisp as a Fuel? Serena Yung Mr Geoffrey Lofthouse Word Count: 3061 Chemistry 2008 Abstract Noting the ever-increasing demand for bio-fuels, my curiosity had driven me to investigate if a particular type of food could serve this purpose. My first thought was noodles, yet these were amazingly difficult to light; I then tried burning bread, but equally unsuccessfully. In the end, I decided on an oily-not to mention delicious-food substance, crisps, as these would assumably make better fuels due to their great wealth of highly flammable oil. In effect, they burned easily with a strong flame. The more energy crisps release when burnt, the more effective they are as fuels. To begin, I investigated the flavour of crisp giving the highest energy value. Then, how different storage temperatures may affect these energy values. Lastly, how different storage times (in exposure to light and oxygen) might also affect these values. According to results, the "Calbee Curry flavour" appeared to release most energy (8868J/g), "Edo Hot Tomato" and "Jack and Jill Roasted Sausage flavour Mong Kok Style" the least (4208 and 4210 J/g respectively). Effectively these figures may suggest that Calbee Curry contained the highest fat content, whereas Edo and Jack and

Modelling and Simulations

MODELLING AND SIMULATIONS Technological Concepts - Key Terms A model is a simplified representation of a system at some particular point in time or space intended to promote understanding of the real system. Simulation is an imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system. Feedback is a process whereby some proportion of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input. This is often used to control the dynamic behaviour of the system. Examples of feedback can be found in most complex systems, such as engineering, architecture, economics, thermodynamics, and biology. It is both a mechanism, process and signal that is looped back to control a system within itself. This loop is called the feedback loop. A control system usually has input and output to the system; when the output of the system is fed back into the system as part of its input, it is called the "feedback." Faulty or Hidden Assumptions An error is very hard to correct if we don't suspect there was a mistake. Often we make an incorrect assumption without realizing we made it, and then draw other false conclusions based on this false assumption. One area where this happens frequently is in finding errors in computer programs. An assumption
