Abstract
This paper describes an online tutorial that contains formatting and deadline instructions intended to assist educators in teaching children to handle writing assignments successfully. The author examines each component of this approach in detail, pointing out its flaws and discrepancies, and concludes that this approach may actually be counter-productive of its desired effect.
From the Paper
"In light of the fact that surveys of older university students have uncovered how they prefer to know well in advance when their deadlines are due (Brown, 2004), it seems intuitive to suggest that young children will be even more reliant upon firm deadlines simply because they are less likely to be self-starters, have not yet developed the sophisticated organizational skills of college students, and - owing to their cognitive and psychological immaturity - are in greater need of guidance. With that in mind, if Kim cannot provide firm deadlines for these young people, then the least she can do is remove a punitive marking system that breeds fear and anxiety."

Abstract
The paper focuses on the website created by an elementary school teacher named Kimberly Steele that takes a unique approach to the writing process. The paper discusses the many merits of this method that encourages students to organize their writing and complete each step in a timely manner. The writer relates that Kim's method is definitely a tool that he will apply to his own academic career as a way of keeping himself on track and growing as a writer.
From the Paper
"Using the internet to find credible sources for writing methods and organization styles can be very beneficial. One good source for the writing process is the website created by an elementary school teacher named Kimberly Steele that takes a unique approach to the writing process. Kim calls it the timeline. Kim's approach to writing a long assignment is to break it down into several sections. She gives each student a copy of the timeline, complete with due dates. Each section is graded when it becomes due, and the final draft is graded as a 100 point test. This gives her students the opportunity to complete the assignments in time, and bring each assignment together in an organized and timely manor. Along the way, she provides feedback and allows the class to provide feedback and advice for improvement as well."

"In chapter one, the narrator of the story returns to the elite Devon school campus in New Hampshire 15 years after graduation. Upon his return, the narrator is re-introduced to the fear he felt at the time (he was a student during the height of the Second World War) and he is prompted to recollect the summer of 1942 when his room-mate, Phineas or "Finny," persuaded him to jump off the branch of a tree found on the Devon campus; the tree, as it turns out, is located right beside a river and it is into the river that one must jump. Ultimately, the act of jumping into the river, and the wrestling that Finny and the narrator do afterwards, causes them to miss dinner that evening."

Abstract
This paper discusses the timeline of Moche spouts based on categories proposed by Rafael Larco Hoyle in 1948. The paper first describes Larco's division of the Moche period into five phases and explains each phase. The paper then discusses those who disagree with the credibility of Larco Hoyle's methods for defining the periods of Moche culture. Lastly , the paper focuses on the development of irrigation agriculture on the north coast between 2000 and 1500 B.C.
From the Paper
"This changed with the shift to irrigation in the Guaiiape phase, when aspiring leaders had better opportunities for the control and the accumulation of goods. Although the initial costs for building irrigation canals was higher than that of fishing and floodplain agriculture, once in production, irrigation systems dramatically increased yields. Therefore, with the organization and financing of irrigation construction systems, leaders perhaps could have extracted surpluses from canal users to fund additional political activity, such as monument construction, and to further enhance the socioeconomic status of their own households. Irrigation systems also provided more opportunities for leaders to control land and the flow of water. The political consequence was that in the Early Guaiiape phase political leaders not only could have controlled increased agricultural production, but also the distribution of land and water. With these newfound sources of economic power, they could finance the creation of centralized, hierarchical political organizations."

Abstract
The paper shows how the history of communication (telephones, telecommunications and other innovations) follows along a pattern that parallels the generalized development of technology leading up to and through the origins of the Industrial Revolution in America. The paper reviews the highlights of inventors and presents a timeline identifying the developments that comprise telecommunication history. The paper discusses Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, Jean Baudot, Alexander Graham Bell, Elisa Gray and others. The paper also discusses relevant communication legislation until today.
From the Paper
"In Chapter 3 of the text (p. 98) the authors report that Samuel Morse (in 1837) expanded on the idea that had been experimented with earlier - electrical impulses that travel on wires and have the ability to move magnetized needles at the other end - by developing a "key." The key opened and closed an electrical circuit. Morse applied for a patent for his invention in 1940."
"In 1844, according to Webb & Associates (WA), a respected telecommunication consultancy in Massachusets, Morse's electric telegraph was first tested in public. "What Hath God Wrought?" he telegraphed. The telegraph linked Baltimore, MD, with Washington, D.C. Seventeen years later, in 1861, WA reports, coast-to-coast telegraph communication began operation in the U.S."

The program was designed by Fanning so that users could share MP3 music files online, using free software that the user downloads from the Napster website. Napster users share MP3 files online and store downloaded files on their computers for playback at their convenience. This is called peer-to-peer sharing. Napster allows users to search the hard drives of other users for files that they wish to download. The program provides technical support for the indexing and searching of MP3 files, and also provides chat rooms where users can talk to one another while searching for their files."

India's representations of the Buddha were the bodhi tree, the footprint, the empty throne, the lions, the columns or the lotus. The lotus was a symbol of purity."

"The more countries and lands they could conquer, the more power they had. But in order to win the favor of Western countries, they set themselves up as champions against communism. This gained at least partial tolerance for their earlier actions from the Western democracies. These democracies wanted peace and didn?t believe that another war could begin so quickly after the first war. The military was very unprepared for what came from this tolerance."

From the Paper
"The Mars Global Surveyor is an American spacecraft which went into orbit around Mars on September 12, 1997 to conduct a detailed photographic survey of the planet beginning in March 1998. The spacecraft used a formerly untried technique called aerobraking to turn its initially highly elongated orbit into a circular orbit by dipping into the outer atmosphere of the planet. This was a $273 million project that began sending important data about the planet's surface at a quarter of the cost of the Mars Observer mission, which had failed in 1993 (Lawler, 2000).
Mars has long been a particular goal for space exploration. The planet has excited the human imagination, perhaps because of the many literary and dramatic works that suggested civilizations on Mars, and certainly because of the long-ago.."

From the Paper
"Limitations/Future Research: As noted by the authors there is a shift away from family centered care as children grow older. It could not be determined if diminished satisfaction is due to the shifting model, growing parental knowledge or growing frustration as the child ages. Future research could investigate this issue.
"Connection: While my survey will not identify changes over time, a number of questions from this survey could be useful for identifying current satisfaction levels."
