My name is Cath Anne and this is The Homework Help Show hosted by Homework Help Global. This is Episode 54 of the show here on the show. We provide you with valuable content for your academic and student life. Lets jump in. Cath Anne: [00:00:24] Today lets talk about APA and MLA for writing when we are writing essays. It is important that we follow guidelines MLA and AOA formatting the style guides are two distinct styles that we can use when we are writing our papers. Yes learning a new style can be difficult and confusing process. As times change styles also changed and we must learn to adapt and be flexible with them. However if you want to be taken professionally in the academic field you must learn to use different style guides which are appropriate to the academic field in which you are working. This is why weve decided to give you an overview of both APA and MLA formatted guides. Today we will begin with a discussion of the similarities between the two formats and then we will move on to some of the distinct differences that differentiate MLA from APA format. Cath Anne: [00:01:25] MLA stands for Modern Literature Association. The style was developed in 1883 by teachers and scholars and the academy seeks to promote literature and English. The English language throughout the academic profession. Cath Anne: [00:01:44] APA stands for American Psychological Association. The first time that this style was seen was in a Psychological Bulletin which was written in 1929. In this edition of The Bulletin the guidelines for APA style were laid out. Cath Anne: [00:02:00] Now lets discuss the similarities between MLA and APA format. First in each style the layout of the page is the same. You are going to want to use one inch margins set your font to twelve point font and use. Times New Roman youre also going to want to have a reverences or a workcit. page. At the end of the essay is just pages will also be numbered at the top. Text should also be double spaced. I recommend setting all your font margins and your text spacing at the beginning of the essay so that you dont have to go back and read format. At the end of the essay. That way you can make sure that everything is streamlined and ready to go when youre ready to pass in your essay. As mentioned the final page of your essay will include a reverences or a Works Cited page. Each of the citations on this page will be also double spaced and they will go in alphabetical order as well. Each citation should have a hanging indent which means that the citation is indented on the se cond line and the third line. Remember that reference pages and work cited pages are included on the last page of the paper. However they never count towards your word count. Another similarity is that all information that you use in your paper must be properly saved through the paper as well as recognized in your citation page. At the end of your essay as noted both of the citations styles use in text citations. These appear as parenthetical citations within the body of your text. For example if we are citing something from Big Bird written in 2010 in MLA formatting you are going to use the last name, Bird, and the page number on which you found the information. APA style, on the other hand, uses the citation format in parenthetical brackets the last name of the person so in this case we would use Bird comma, the year that the publication was issued, comma the page number on which you found the information if you have taken a direct quote from some information. Cath Anne: [00:04:18] If you are looking to quote something within the body of your text make sure that all of the quotations transitions smoothly and integrate well into your text. Try not to go too heavy on quotations directly from the text. Professors tend to prefer paraphrasing as opposed to direct quotations unless it is something they request specifically blocked quotations can also be used throughout the text. However use these intentionally and sparingly. Cath Anne: [00:04:51] Now lets move on to some differences between APA and MLA format and. Only format is generally used in the arts. So for for example English, art, theatre. On the other hand APA format is generally used in the sociological disciplines like social work, sociology, and psychology as the name alludes. In MLA format you will see Works Cited page on the final page of your essay. In APA format it is a bit different and the references page will be called just that, the References page. In MLA format when you are going to cite some information you will want to use this citation style Bird comma Big. On the other hand in APA format the references are cited with the last name comma and then the first initial. So for example. Bird comma B. In MLA format when information is cited within the text make sure that you place the page number within the parentheses. So for example according to Big Bird writing is a good way to practice the English language and that at the end of t he sentence you bracket the number the page number on which you found that information on the other hand. In APA format when you are citing information in a sentence make sure to put the year during which the information was published. So for example Big Bird believes that writing centres are awesome and then in brackets you will put the year right after the name that you have cited. So for example it would be Big Bird (2010) believes that writing centers are awesome. In MLA format quotes for lines or longer are called blocked quotation and they are indented to tabs or. In APA format, quotes forty words or longer are also forming block quotations. They are adjusted 5 spaces over in the context of the paper. In MLA format when titles of works are cited within the references page they are italicized and APA format, the first word of the title is capitalized and the rest are lowercase. Theyre not italicized. Cath Anne: [00:07:38] If you are struggling with APA or MLA format consider using a citation tools such BibMe we will link it in the description box below. This can help you to organize your citations and create a bibliography for you that you can include at the end of your paper. However dont become reliant on these tools.

Internet The Eyes Of A Router - 3830 Words

From The Eyes of a Router Router devices have become popular in the networking world today. Routers are devices that forward data packets along networks. Often, they are used for small to medium networks, and overall prove efficient for users. Routers are now considered vital to the internet as well as many home and small business networks. The Internet is one of the 20th century s best developments because it allows people worldwide to conduct e-mails and communicate back and forth in a timely manner, view web pages, make purchases, view videos, have live chat, and keep up to date with certain people on web pages such as Facebook. The internet is now considered a means of communication. Many people are all so accustomed to a computer†¦show more content†¦When one of the graphic designers sends a file to the other, the very large files will exhaust most of the network s volume, making the network operate very slowly for other users on the network. One reason that a single intensive user can affect an entire network deals with the way Ethernet works. Each packet of information sent from a computer is seen by all other computers on the local network. Each computer then has to verify the packet and decides whether it was intended for its address. This helps keep the straightforward idea of the network simple, but has performance issues as the size network size or level of network activity increases. To keep the graphic designers’ work from interfering with the production line computers, the business sets up two separate networks. One network is for the animators and other for the production line assistants. A router links these two networks and connects both networks to the Internet. The router is the only device which views every message sent by any computer on any network within a company. When one of the graphic designers sends a large file to the other graphic designer, the router checks the recipient s address and keeps the traffic on the graphic designer’s netw ork. But when a graphic designer sends a message to the production assistant’s e-mail in the other network, the router recognizes the recipient s address and forwards the message between the two networks to the correct

Frankenstein And Nature’S Love. From Stupendous Glaciers

Frankenstein and Nature’s Love From stupendous glaciers to rolling green hills, there is no denying that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein captures nature’s most majestic and extraordinary sights. There is also no denying that nature’s enchantment and beauty surrounds Frankenstein’s intense plot. Hence, the sublime alpine ecosystem where Frankenstein takes place has a great impact on the characters of the novel. As she wrote Frankenstein, Mary Shelley also experienced a magnificent and grand environment. Mary Shelley’s love of nature, and an 1816 summer storm that she witnessed while writing Frankenstein influenced nature’s role as a pillar of comfort, inspiration, and hope amidst tragedy, struggle, and ruin in her novel. Written at Lord†¦show more content†¦In the letter to her half-sister, Mary Shelley displays pleasure and delight in watching a â€Å"grander and more terrific† storm than she had â€Å"ever seen beforeâ₠¬  (Quoted from Phillips 63). Before recounting the frightening and magnificent storm, Mary Shelley tells her sister that she â€Å"enjoyed† the â€Å"fine† storm (Quoted from Phillips 63). Enjoyment is paralleled in both instances of this storm in Frankenstein. In his boyhood memory, Victor recalls watching the storm â€Å"with curiosity and delight,† and observing the â€Å"dazzling light† (Shelley 26). When the same storm appears in Victor’s journey to Geneva, Victor again notes the â€Å"vivid flashes of lightning† that â€Å"dazzled my eyes† (Shelley 59). More importantly, the â€Å"beautiful yet terrific† tempest inspires Victor, who calls it a â€Å"noble war in the sky† that â€Å"elevated my spirits† (Shelley 59). Victor’s inspiration is in the wake of him hearing the news of William’s death, and commencing the long and tiresome journey back to Geneva. In both fictional instances of the st orm and Mary Shelley’s actual experience, the storm is described as incredibly grand and violent. In all cases, the witness enjoys watching the impressive tempest. Therefore, the magnificent and tremendous phenomenon of nature evokes delight and pleasure. When observing the storm on his journey, however, Victor also

Dominican vs Haiti Free Essays

Haiti vs. the Dominican Republic Comparing Two Sister Countries They say the grass is always greener on the other side, for Haiti this saying seems to be true. Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Hispaniola, but are completely different in many ways. We will write a custom essay sample on Dominican vs Haiti or any similar topic only for you Order Now Haiti is the poorest countries in the western hemisphere and almost all of its people live in poverty, while the Dominican Republic is one of the wealthier countries. In 1960, both countries had the same per capita real GDP but in the last 50 years, the Dominican Republic has more than tripled its growth compared to Haiti. While these two countries are similar in geography and historical institutions, the growth between the two is drastically different. Throughout this paper, I will compare both countries economic growth and why two countries with the same geographic area are so different. Up until the 1960’s, the Dominican Republic and Haiti had very similar economic stance and were relatively growing at the same pace. But suddenly, over the next decade, the Dominican Republic rapidly increased, while Haiti barely grew at all. One reason, according to Jared Diamond’s book â€Å"Collapse†, is that because Haiti resides on the western side of the island and has a lower rainfall percentage resulting in deforestation and loss of soil fertility, which effects the agricultural industry and hinders their growth. Another factor is that Haiti has less than half the space that the Dominican Republic does, but in the 1960’s Haiti had a larger population. Throughout the 1960’s, it seemed as Haiti was beating the Dominican Republic in population, but if you look at graph 1, you can see that as soon as the 1970’s came about Haiti’s population growth slow down compared to the Dominican Republic. Because Haiti occupies a smaller portion of the island compared to the Dominican Republic, it has a higher population density in a smaller area, which also contributes to the poor soil fertility and deforestation, effecting Haiti’s agricultural industry. While Haiti’s agricultural industry was decreasing, the manufacturing industry increased because Haiti provided low-cost labor. This was a huge role in Haiti’s economy during the 1970’s, as well as other services such as tourism. But tourism soon decreased due to political turmoil during the 1980’s, and the media had identified Haiti has the place where the immune deficiency disease, commonly known as AIDS, had originated from. This caused Haiti to experience a rapid decrease in its economy, as you can see in the per capita real GDP in graph 2. You can identify the growth through the 1970’s, and then during the 1980’s you notice that it starts to decrease. This was just the beginning of Haiti’s downfall. On the other side of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic was growing at a much faster pace. The Dominican Republic has the largest economy in the Caribbean and second largest of population and land mass. It has a very stable manufacturing and construction industry. They also have mining, which exports many major minerals, like gold and silver. Tourism has also increased over the years, which has been the leading factory in the country’s service industry. The Dominican Republic’s government fully supported the growth of the tourism industry, but when the country’s water supply became poor and there was a shortage of many supplies and materials they needed, the tourism industry decreased. While researching these two countries policies and economy standings, I came across information about both countries relationships to the United States. The United States and Dominican Republic have a very good relationship, and the US has strong interests in the Dominican Republics’ strong economy and stable democratic development. The two countries have a strong export and trading relationship, and work together on many foreign affairs, such as trafficking illegal substances and immigration policies. This strong political and economical relationship, I believe, has greatly helped the rapid growth that the Dominican Republic has experience over the last half century.

Essay Watching Video Food, Inc. Essay Example For Students

Essay Watching Video Food, Inc. Essay I chose to watch video Food, Inc. I wanted to learn more about the foods we eat every day and how they are processed. During the video I watched and learned that animals are put into harsh conditions that redesign the way that they grow. They are given all types of drugs and steroids to make them grow quicker than they actually should. Chickens about 50 years ago would developed over 70 days but now they are forced to grow within 48 days because of high demand. The producers of Food, Inc. asked dozens of farmers about going inside the farm and slaughter houses to see how the process goes and they all declined. Only one farmer by the name of Carole Morison allowed them in because she was tired of the way she was forced to treat her chickens. The houses were disgusting, they had to live in their own species and were all together. With the animals all together in unsanitary living space it is a high chance diseases will spread. The animals living the way they do, our food is not really safe. Sick or not they are still sent to processing and cut, chopped, and delivered to our local grocery stores. These big meat packing companies Tyson, Perdue, etc. have one ultimate goal which is to produce a lot of food on a small amount of land at a very affordable price. Companies make millions and feed us infected food while the animals suffer and the farmers end up in debt. Question #2Producing a greater amount of food and feeding more people does not outweigh the problems we have within our food system. Our food system needs to begin with the way the animals and workers are treated. The workers are put into dirty factories with dirty animals that could be possibly carrying a disease. Our food system is all about supply and demand . .y risk being arrested. The companies are making billions of dollars while poor innocent people who came to work are going to jail. When a worker gets arrested it’s always easy to fill their spots with more people because someone always needs a job. Question #3 In my opinion, there are many proposals I would recommend in regards to the issues raised in Food, Inc. I propose that we start with the conditions of the farms. The farm animals should not be ankle deep in their own species. They should be in a nice clean environment for sanitary reasons. For an example, when the workers go to cut the animals for their meat, their species flies all over the place. Workers get covered in spices, our food is then infected with species. I think if we treated our animals better and put the change of our food having E.coli, and other diseases could be somewhat prevented.

Isaac Rodriguez Essays (208 words) - , Term Papers

Isaac Rodriguez ENC0017 May 15, 2017 The President warns the former FBI Director On Friday May 12, 2017 the President of the united states sent a tweet warning the former FBI director not to talk to the media. Former FBI director James Comey was fired abruptly on May 10, 2017. Many people believe James Comey was fired to impede an ongoing investigation into whether President Trump's campaign acted together with the Russians to turn the election in Trumps favor. President Trump denies that his campaign and the Russians acted together to turn the election in his favor. James Comey has so far been silent on the issue. The Senate Intelligence committee invited James Comey to testify but he refused to due to a prior engagement. He, however did agree to testify at another time. What is really going is still not clear, since news agencies are reporting different versions of the same story. Hopefully, an unbiased, independent investigator will be appointed at some point and we will know the true story of what is really happe ning. Until then we will never know the truth. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/05/12/with-a-threat-of-tapes-trump-tells-ousted-fbi-chief-not-to-ta/22084153/

The Kyoto Protocol essays

The Kyoto Protocol essays A free good is a good that we can consume in infinite quantities without foregoing any resources. These would include those things freely given by nature such as sunlight, as we use the nutrients of sunbeams. An economic good is a good that has an opportunity cost to be produced. This includes all goods that are not free. Because of things like the Kyoto Accord, air or that is to say clean air as well as global temperature are becoming economic goods. This stays true to the theory of economics: you cannot get something for nothing. Since the Kyoto Accord demands that all countries reduce all greenhouse gas emissions of 1990 by 5.2% by 2012 or to exist within a maximum output limit of greenhouse gases per capita, clean air becomes a good which must be invested in to maintain. This requires the use of the factors of production to limit or reduce a countrys output of greenhouse gases. The factors of production are the resources that are needed for production. These include land (all natural resources), labour (all human resources), capital (machinery and equipment) and enterprise (risk taking to make profits). If a restaurant is growing into a chain with multiple locations, land is needed to build these locations and resources are needed for building and providing food to the consumer. Labour is needed to plan the expansion, build the new locations and operate these new locations. Capital is utilized in the form of construction machinery and the equipment used in the restaurants kitchen. This is all made possible because of the entrepreneur backing the expansion for a net profit. The Kyoto protocol will simply decrease the need for factors of production put into things that produce greenhouse gases and more will be needed for things that maintain or reduce a countrys output of greenhouse gases. The demand for fossil fuels will drop, as alternative energy sources are used more and invested in by government and p...
