In the early days of data analysis (when generated data was mostly structured and not quite so “big”), it was possible to keep data in local storage (e.g., on a single computer or a portable hard drive). With this setup, data processing and analysis was all done locally as well.

Once the data is collected and prepared, it must be analyzed in order to discover meaningful insights, a process called data analysis

The law of increasing opportunity cost holds that as an economy moves along its production possibilities curve in the direction of producing more of a particular good, the opportunity cost of additional units of that good will increase.

Plant 3 has a comparative advantage in snowboard production because it is the plant for which the opportunity cost of additional snowboards is lowest.

Newborns are also routinely screened for different conditions. Within the first 24 to 48 hours after birth, babies born in hospitals undergo a simple heel stick and a few drops of blood are collected on a special paper card.

Sociologists and community advocates currently prefer the terms houseless, unhoused, or housing insecure to define the social problem

In 1968, the Fair Housing Act, part of the Civil Rights Act, outlawed these practices. The Fair Housing Act is an attempt at providing equitable housing to all. It makes it illegal to discriminate against someone based on skin color, sex, religion, and disability. Also banned is the practice of real estate lowballing, where banks underestimate the value of a home

Government-sanctioned discrimination also impacted Indigenous communities

properly care for the valuable real estate they held. Residents who owned the land were compensated, but the land was undervalued. This land grab was conveniently justified by the emergence of the powerful racist idea that property values go down where Black people live.

The community boasted successful businesses, a vibrant church, and a school. Newspapers and magazines, however, relied on racist ideas and racial epithets (like the n-word) to describe the community as a decrepit shantytown

As early as 1830, free Black people who made their way to northern cities were not welcome in many communities. Poor people who were Black lived in racially segregated housing. Often, they had to move when developers and landowners found more profitable uses for the land

Scholar Ibram X. Kendi asserts that any policies that result in racial inequity and ideas that justify or excuse racial inequity are racist. Racist ideas about the supposed inferiority of people who are Black include ideas about “degeneracy,” uncleanliness, laziness, sexual habits, drug use, and dishonesty

Whether it’s Red Bull aggressively marketing to the college-aged group or gyms marketing to single, working, young adults, much thought and effort goes into crafting a message with a particular receiver in mind. Some companies even create an “ideal customer,” going as far as to name the person, create a psychological and behavioral profile for them, and talk about them as if they were real during message development (Solomon, 2006).

Conduct some preliminary audience analysis of your class and your classroom. What are some demographics that might be useful for you to consider? What might be some attitudes, beliefs, and values people have that might be relevant to your speech topics? What situational factors might you want to consider before giving your speech?

Figure 9.1 shows how brainstorming works in stages. A list of topics that interest the speaker are on the top row. The speaker can brainstorm subtopics for each idea to see which one may work the best. In this case, the speaker could decide to focus his or her informative speech on three common ways people come to own dogs: through breeders, pet stores, or shelters.

In other cases, we speak to persuade, as we try to influence an audience’s beliefs, attitudes, values, or behaviors.

At the outermost level, attitudes are our likes and dislikes, and they are easier to influence than beliefs or values because they are often reactionary. If you’ve ever followed the approval rating of a politician, you know that people’s likes and dislikes change frequently and can change dramatically based on recent developments. This is also true interpersonally. For those of you who have siblings, think about how you can go from liking your sisters or brothers, maybe because they did something nice for you, to disliking them because they upset you. This seesaw of attitudes can go up and down over the course of a day or even a few minutes, but it can still be useful for a speaker to consider. If there is something going on in popular culture or current events that has captured people’s attention and favor or disfavor, then you can tap into that as a speaker to better relate to your audience.

Effective strategic leaders are able to convince employees to embrace lofty ambitions and move the organization forward. In contrast, poor strategic leaders struggle to rally their people and channel their collective energy in a positive direction.

GPS is widely used for ground, air, and sea navigation.

Differential GPS uses a base station of an exactly known location and a mobile reeiver to determine position.

The Global Positioning System consists of three parts: Earth orbiting satellites, control and monitoring stations across the Earth, and GPS receivers owned by individuals. Multiple sets of 24 satellites are orbiting the Earth every 12 hours while broadcasting their position and time. Ground-based receivers (hand-held GPS devices in watches, phones, cars, airplanes etc) listen to the signals from four or more satellites, comparing the time transmissions of each with its own clock. Given that signal travels at a known speed, the receiver can calculate the distance between the satellites and receiver. Combining the position of the satellite at the time of transmission with the distance, the receiver is able to determine its own location. After the original american GPS, other countries have developed their own versions. Europe's GPS is called Galileo, Russia's is called Glonass, and China's is called Beidou. Modern receivers can use satellites from all these systems simultaneously.

Geographers construct models to analyze geographic processes because the real object of study may be too large to examine, the processes which created it operate over too long of a time frame, or experimentation might actually harm or destroy it.

More and more, physical geographers use mathematical or numerical models.

A model is simply a representation of a real thing. You have seen and used models in the past, like a globe which is a model of the earth. Geographers construct models to analyze geographic processes because the real object of study may be too large to examine, the processes which created it operate over too long of a time frame, or experimentation might actually harm or destroy it. For instance, physical geographers construct physical models like stream tables to investigate the impact of hydrological processes on the earth. A stream table is more or less like a shallow sink filled with earth material similar to the land surface of interest. Water is applied to the material to see what effect varying amounts of water have on the erosion of the surface. Models may be simple conceptual models such as a box and arrow diagram showing the flows of energy between compartments of an ecosystem. More and more, physical geographers use mathematical or numerical models. These could be complex numerical statements programmed into a computer model representing the impact of increasing carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere on global temperature or rainfall on erosion and landscape evolution. The video below shows a visualization of a global climate model output.

A geographic information system is a computer-based technology that enters, analyzes, manipulates, and displays geographic information. It is a marriage between computer-based cartography and database management.

Geographic Information Systems are being employed to study a number of geographic issues like flood hazard mapping, earthquake hazard studies, economic market area analysis, etc.

They provide us with a real world view of the earth’s surface, unlike a map which is a representation of the real world.

To get a much larger view of the earth’s surface features, geographers have turned to using remotely sensed data from satellites.

Figure 1.2.2.11.2.2.1\PageIndex{1} shows the rugged terrain one finds in the Gangotri Glacier. North is at the top of the photograph.

The information collected to create a map is called spatial data. Any object or characteristic that has a location can be considered spatial data

Using administrative units presents a less realistic picture of the pattern of the distribution of natural phenomena. To overcome this, a variant of the choropleth map, the dasymetric map (2) was created.

Contour lines connect points of equal elevation above a specified reference, usually as sea level. The heavy brown contour lines with the elevation printed on them are called index contours. Intermediate contours are the lighter brown lines between index contours. Sometimes dashed lines called supplemental contours are used in areas of very low relief.

academic journal articles often include a summary at the beginning

Summarize

stop occasionally to answer these questions on paper or in your head. Use them to identify sections you may need to reread, read more carefully, or ask your instructor about later.

key component of planning is setting a purpose.

focus on setting aside enough time for reading and breaking your assignments into manageable chunks. If you are assigned a seventy-page chapter to read for next week’s class, try not to wait until the night before to get started. Give yourself at least a few days and tackle one section at a time.

And while modern audiences might prefer that style, that may only be because they align more closely with modern approaches to the craft. Just like those early audiences, it’s all we know. But less naturalistic performances can be just as “good” – emotionally resonant and consistent with the thematic intent of the story –

One of the most powerful is Reneé Jeanne Falconetti’s performance in Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc. Dreyer’s original cut of the film was lost for decades until it was found in a janitor’s closet in Norway in the 1980s. And somehow that seems fitting since Falconetti’s performance feels like a cinematic time machine,

or cinematographers learned how to move the camera in a way that drew audiences deeper into the story, actors had to learn how to replace their relationship with a live audience with a relationship with the camera, always there but rarely acknowledged.

Acting, as a profession, has been around a while. The Greeks were doing it as early as 534 BCE when Thespis, the world’s first “actor”, stepped onto a stage in Athens (it’s why we sometimes call actors thespians).

Professional actors are in many ways like professional athletes.[2] They spend a lifetime training, perfecting their technique, honing their bodies to be the perfect instrument of their craft. And yet, the perfect performance, on the field or on the screen

Keep in mind that theories are not facts

No two languages are ever sufficiently similar to be considered as representing the same social reality. Language is itself the shaper of ideas, the program and guide for the individual’s mental activity, analysis of impressions. The fact of the matter is that the ‘real world’ is to a large extent unconsciously built up on the language habits of the group.” 6

As Sapir has written, not only is it a misunderstanding of words that can cause confusion and differences of opinion, but the structure of the language, or grammar of the language, influences how we think and see our world. Sapir and Whorf agree that it is our culture that determines our language, which in turn determines the way that we categorize our thoughts about the world and our experiences in it. Whorf says that your language affects how you think, which in turn affects how you deal with incoming information, and ultimately how you use it. Thus, the words we select to describe people’s internal or external attributes shape the way we feel about these people.

In 1984 the main character, Winston Smith, works in the government’s “Ministry of Truth.” His Job is to rewrite news stories to be consistent with the way in which the government wants you to think. George Orwell uses his concept of Newspeak, an earlier essay, that argues that to control what people think, control their language and only those thoughts consistent with that language will occur. 4

Schedule times for studying using a daily or weekly planner.

Some procrastinate because they fear failure; others procrastinate because they fear success

Do you have two hours of study time for every hour in class? Many students begin college not knowing this much time is needed, so don’t be surprised if you underestimated this number of hours

most college students that they do actually have plenty of time for their studies without losing sleep or giving up their social life. But you may have less time for discretionary activities than in the past.

One person seems to be always rushing around but actually gets less done than another person who seems unconcerned about time and calmly goes about the day.
