Hispanic Culture - Latino Culture -Latin American Culture Article Format/Narrative - How to Write a News Article - LibGuides at St. Petersburg College While some writers feel inhibited following a standard format, these forms help organize information so the reader can easily understand the topic even if they're just skimming the paper or website. They also help entice the reader to read further. The Inverted Pyramid - First developed and widely used during the Civil War, the inverted pyramid is best suited for hard news stories. The article begins with the lede and presents information in order of descending importance. The most important information comes first, followed by less important details. The Hourglass - builds on the inverted pyramid and combines a narrative. The Nut Graph - developed by the Wall Street Journal in the 1940s, it includes an anecdotal lede that gets the reader's attention, followed by a paragraph that provides larger context for the story and moves the article in that direction. The Narrative - has a beginning, middle, and end just like a story. The Five Boxes Story - combines the forms listed above.
AP Chemistry Review Activities AP Chemistry Interactive Review Activities In keeping with the new framework for AP Chemistry beginning in 2013 - 2014, I am indicating here if the topic to which a review activity relates has been dropped from the curriculum. It will be identified as excluded (Excluded) to indicate that the College Board has specifically excluded it. I will leave the reviews here, however, in case some of you find them useful. These are not graded assignments. They are intended only as practice of concepts and vocabulary that are essential to your success in this course. Each time you reload the activity, the problems will be in a different order, and the answers will be reshuffled!
The Hourglass – Narratives Sometimes story forms come in modules. What if you have news to break – but also a great story to tell? Try a modular architecture called the hourglass. In the bottom globe, tell your story in narrative form, from beginning to middle to end. As a hybrid, the hourglass lacks the quick precision of the inverted pyramid and the involving suspense of a narrative story. Chip Scanlan has a good take on the hourglass.

How to Build Pure Strength by Jim Wendler Just so we're clear, either people want to do 5/3/1 or they don't. I really want to help people, but if they won't take my advice there's nothing I can do. That's fine by me. I don't fight the battles. Look, arguing about strength training theory is stupid. I've been training for 20 years, and this is what I've learned. A Powerlifter's Progress My best powerlifting accomplishment in the 275-pound weight class was a 1,000-pound squat, 675-pound bench press, 700-pound deadlift, and a 2,375 total. Today I have different aspirations. Philosophy 5/3/1 The core philosophy behind 5/3/1 revolves around the basic tenets of strength training that have stood the test of time. Basic Multi-Joint Lifts The bench press, parallel squat, deadlift, and standing press have been the staples of any strong man's repertoire. Starting Light While it may seem counterintuitive to take weight off the bar when the goal is to add weight to it, starting lighter allows you more room to progress forward. 1.
How to Cook Moist & Tender Chicken Breasts Every Time Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (aka BSCBs) — is there anything more boring? They are all too often overcooked until dry and chewy, and I generally prefer more succulent boneless, skinless thighs. But for lunch and dinner favorites like chicken Caesar salad and chicken pasta, sliced juicy chicken breasts can't be beat. They're a great staple for quick lunches, too. Fortunately I have one method that makes unfailingly juicy and tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts. A Method That Requires Trust! This method takes trust; you can't check the chicken breasts or watch them cooking. So you can't peek, and you have to trust us. Watch the Video Error loading player: No playable sources found Simple chicken, for salads and rice bowls. (Image credit: Leela Cyd) Seasoning the Chicken This method alone makes plain, simple chicken breasts — a blank slate to be used on top of salads, rice dishes, and tacos.

Freemake.com How to Make a Cartoon Yourself: Top 7 Animated Video Makers Compared Video production is not an easy and cheap matter. A short video for your YouTube channel or website may cost several thousand dollars if you address to professional video studios. Animated Video Makers: Pros & Cons Animated videos are illustrations existing in a purely fictional world. Animated cartoons are frequent on YouTube, since everyone can make them with online tools and ready design templates. So you don’t need to order a professional cartoon from a design studio or draw it yourself. animation templates look professional;you don’t need to dub videos;templates are usually done in high resolution;pricing plans are scalable;characters look engaging and funny. However, there are several disadvantages: the more difficult a template is, the more it costs;you can hardly go beyond the designed scenery;sometimes you should adjust the plot of your video to template possibilities;learning curve is rather complicated. 1. 2.
This Is How to Create Videos in Google Drive July 29, 2014 This week's tip for teachers is about creating videos in Google Drive. As you know, since the time Google made it possible to integrate third party apps into Google Drive, there appeared a wide variety of excellent applications that are deemed to enhance the overall performance of your Drive . One of the essential apps that I think every teacher should connect with Google Drive is called WeVideo. WeVideo allows you to easily create and share videos and short animations.
How Trees Calm Us Down In 1984, a researcher named Roger Ulrich noticed a curious pattern among patients who were recovering from gallbladder surgery at a suburban hospital in Pennsylvania. Those who had been given rooms overlooking a small stand of deciduous trees were being discharged almost a day sooner, on average, than those in otherwise identical rooms whose windows faced a wall. The results seemed at once obvious—of course a leafy tableau is more therapeutic than a drab brick wall—and puzzling. Whatever curative property the trees possessed, how were they casting it through a pane of glass? That is the riddle that underlies a new study in the journal Scientific Reports by a team of researchers in the United States, Canada, and Australia, led by the University of Chicago psychology professor Marc Berman. Are such numbers fanciful? What is most interesting about this data, though, is one of its subtler details. It’s nice to think that research like this can affect public policy.
Scientists use brain imaging to reveal the movies in our mind BERKELEY — Imagine tapping into the mind of a coma patient, or watching one’s own dream on YouTube. With a cutting-edge blend of brain imaging and computer simulation, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are bringing these futuristic scenarios within reach. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and computational models, UC Berkeley researchers have succeeded in decoding and reconstructing people’s dynamic visual experiences – in this case, watching Hollywood movie trailers. As yet, the technology can only reconstruct movie clips people have already viewed. The approximate reconstruction (right) of a movie clip (left) is achieved through brain imaging and computer simulation “This is a major leap toward reconstructing internal imagery,” said Professor Jack Gallant, a UC Berkeley neuroscientist and coauthor of the study published online today (Sept. 22) in the journal Current Biology. “We need to know how the brain works in naturalistic conditions,” he said.
