Improving your memory:

This listening is about a technique to improve your recall this describe a memory technique called the journey method. It combines the links system and peg methods in a way that makes a very powerful tool for remembering long lists or quite complex information.

The key to the journey method is to think of a route to work, or to a relative’s house, and then you need to think of the important places, the landmarks along this route

Education of Poor Children

Children in poverty make up thirty-nine percent of the population, and most of these children do not receive a good education because their parents cannot afford to send them to anything but a public school. This paper will discuss the education of children under twelve years of age who are in poverty, including programs offered to education children in poverty, how the government helps disadvantaged children, how the environment and ethnicity affect learning, and what can be done to help these children get a better education.

There are many programs out there may benefit the education of poor children. Right now, the Federal government provides some funds to educate children in the public school system only. Often times, parents in poverty do not like the level of education their child is receiving, and they want to have the government help them pay to send their children to a private school to get a better education. The Federal government does not provide any funding to educate poor children in private schools. So many parents are forming organizations that put pressure on their state’s government to provide funding. Wisconsin is one state that parents are pushing for better education of children who are in poverty. A
. . .
The Federal government helps disadvantaged children by providing federal funds. Researchers continue to press the case that inequalities in schools unfairly penalize those children who live in schools districts with little funding. They get their funding from the state of Wisconsin through grants. This study also took into account how impoverished neighborhood conditions, and environmental influences can affects children who are not even in poverty. This group formed in response to the poor education their children were receiving. Cultural differences exist because of the difficulties minority children have in making sense of what is demanded of them in school, the negative impact of their lack of understanding the adults in the school, and their lack of skills at home to help the overcome differences (Early care and education for children in poverty, 1998). Researchers also did a study to determine if difference is academic performances in children were attributed to a difference is behavior and attitudes among families.

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is the Federal government’s largest investment in elementary and secondary education. Children of a low-SES are often clustered in schools that are grossly under funded. Another organization in Wisconsin that is fighting for education for children in poverty is Partners Advocating Values in Education. Schools often postpone repairs to buildings and even delay construction of new buildings to save money. EPIC is a resource that contains information about public, private and religious K-12 schools in Milwaukee. A major problem with the school districts right now is that they focus on the children who are of a high-SES. It is often used as a stronghold of basic skills.

THE EFFECTS OF LACK OF EDUCATION

THE EFFECTS OF LACK OF EDUCATION


Education is an important thing in our life and it is the way for the development of the whole society along our life we are in a grow process as for the field of the education However many times this process can be affected by different social problems that force that the people follow for this way, but this decision has some effects that affect as person as society.

The first major effect of Lack of education is that people does not develop their dimensions furthermore many things are difficult to people than don’t receive education, for example life abilities like lecture math that things have many effects, one of them is the acquisition of new jobs o employments

Another effect in a personal level, is that lack of education is an obstacle in order to the develop of social competences that are competences that help us to understand the other people, this must that socialization does not occur so there is no contact with other people; consequently this leaves bad interpersonal relations and those bad relations generate violence and intolerance towards the attitudes of others.

on the other hand at social level this lack of education brings with himself poverty illiteracy then every time is prepared people less and with less capacity to analyze to criticize and to reflect about the situations that spend day to day, there is less work in equipment, solidarity, generating this way a great social crisis, everything by the lack of education


To sum up lack of education generate: first individual problems but with time that problems can be social so all citizens should receive quality education in order to remove many violent acts that are in nowadays and this form have more children in the school that in the work.

TWO GREAT INVENTORS

Two great inventorsAlong development and progress of society is important to highlight two main characters in the story, with their inventions they made a great contribution and evolution of science wings. They were Antonio Meucci and Thomas Edison, which like all inventors are recognized great similarities as well as differences in their lifestyle and work style.

We can highlight that the most important difference between meucci and Thomas Ediso

n, is that Thomas Edison was poor during his childhood. Both of them had to work at a very early age as newspaper sellers, in order to begin their careers as inventors, but contrary to Edison that was able to overcome the poverty thanks to his inventions, meucci with the passing of the years increased his poverty, although this was not an impediment for continuing with his research and inventions.

Moreover Meucci had problems because he wasn’t know well English and for this reason couldn’t communicate with others scientific.

However putting aside a bit of negative things Meucci created many inventions in the field of communications, including the much-debated invention of the telephone that is said that the device was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. As Meucci, Thomas Edison made a great contribution to society because he invented the light bulb, these two great inventions were due to the fact that these characters have in common their passion for science, because from an early age became interested in all kinds of scientific research, Things which are then reflected in their inventions which are currently very useful for development and evolution of society.

TELEPHONE SYSTEMS

TELEPHONE SYSTEMS

Those who wished the implementation of telephony for financial gain, chose more controllable and less passionate individuals. Neither Meucci, Gray, nor Reis fit this category of choice. The Bell designs are obvious and direct copies of those long previously made by Meucci. The dubious manner in which the Bell patents were "handled and secured" speak more of "financial sleight of hand" than true inventive genius. The all too obvious manipulations behind the patent office desk are revealed in the historically pale claim that Bell secured his patent "15 minutes" before Gray applied for his caveat. Today it is not doubted whether perpetrators of such an arrogance would not go as far as to claim "15 years priority".

Lastly, this fraudulent action denied the years-previous Caveat of Meucci, which "could never be found at all in the patent records" during later trial proceedings. No mind. Meucci is a legend. A name suffused by mysteries. The Meucci caveat remains to this day on public record. All subsequent telephone patents are invalid. Meucci bears legal first-right. No lawyer today will decline this recorded truth.

All other court actions taken against Meucci toward the end of his life was staged by both the corporate Telephone Companies and the Court itself for the expressed purpose of securing the communications monopoly. The complete and operational Meucci Telephonic System, witnessed and used by countless visitors and neighbors for equally numerous years before Bell, was well documented in both Italian and local papers of the day.

To read the transcript of the Meucci court battle waged around the now aged and infirm Meucci is to witness the fear which large megaliths sustain. Though Meucci was not able to afford the yearly renewal price of his caveat, his priority was damaging, otherwise they would not have taken such measures to examine him publicly. The Bell Company sought to minimize Meucci’s system by calling it nothing more than an elaborate "string telephone" in court proceedings, exposing themselves on several counts of fraud. Scientifically, this line of defense was unfounded. The obviously slack lines made the Meucci System incapable of conducting merely elastic vibrations with such clarity and amplitude. Moreover, the velvety rich tones received through these devices were far too modified, clarified, and loud to be "mere mechanical transmissions".

It was then hoped that the elderly gentleman would desist the entire crude process and give up. Meucci was publicly and ethnically labelled by leading journalists as "that old Italian, that old...candlemaker". Meucci maintained his ground to the consternation of the prosecuting attorney. Priority of diagrams, witnesses, working models...nothing could satisfy the predetermined judgement of the court.

To add insult to injury, Meucci’s character was vilified in the press. In numerous pro-corporate newspaper articles Meucci is referred to as "a villain...a liar...an old fool". Predetermined to satisfy the corporate megalith, a deliberate and shameful court examination had as its aim the eradication of Meucci and his claim of priority. This process would later become the normal mode of business operation when destroying competitive technologies. With no hope of financial reprise in sight, Meucci ceased the excessive court fees. This was precisely what the monopoly wished. The fact yet remains that Meucci was first to invent the system.Throughout the years, Meucci’s name was not even mentioned in the history of telephonics. Closer evaluation of this true social phenomenon in "information control" reveals that communications history sources were controlled and principally provided in later years by Bell Labs to school text companies. They would ensure that the otherwise complex story was "straightened out".

It is also obvious that Meucci and his countrymen were never truly "embraced" by the American establishment until they took deliberate action. To the very end of his life, Meucci simply and elegantly maintained his serene statements in absolute confidence of the truth which was his own. "The telephone, which I invented and which I first made known...was stolen from me".The more important fact in these matters of intrigue is recognizing that discovery itself is no respecter of persons or indeed of nations. Discovery touches those who honor its revelations. Discovery is an inspiring ray whose tracings are never limited by laws, prejudices, unbelief, nation, ethnic group, or economic bracket.

TWO GREAT INVENTORS

INVENTOR: is the person who creates or thinks for the first time about something new, besides this is a person that has been interested much in the investigation and the search of innovating things, its inventions help to that the activities of any type are but easy, usually the people think that the appearance physical of inventors its same because they get dressed in white dressing gown, glasses, and also they think that always they are into a laboratory but that is not thus so that the inventors must be in the reality to observe needs and this form can create something new.

INVENTION: is an object, technique or process which own novel characteristics. It can be based on some idea, collaboration or previous innovation and the process of the same at least requires the knowledge of a concept or an existing method that can be modified or be transformed into a new invention.
