Mentality Reality
Hee hee...It's amazing what people will say when they think your insane. When they think your not all there. Which, by the way, is completely wrong. WE are more than all there. It's just more interesting in here than it is out there. They are doing it right now. Listen.
"Dr. DeVitt, thank you for coming. Your expertise should help us immensly. The situation with this patient is becomeing more complex every day. He's been checked in here a number of times spanning from childhood to adulthood, with increasing mental instability each time. Here is his file. Our current diagnosis is that he suffers from Severe Dissosiative Identity Disorder...."
Multiple personalities. ha ha. Bravo. Good show doctors. It's been how long and thats all you got. I would clap if i had hands.
"...and we have been able to determine six distinct personalities, each with thier own set of behavioral and social markers..."
Wrong. Theres more, they just arent looking hard enough. But your out there arent you?
"...however he seems to be develop these personalities while under treatment. We are at a loss doctor."
"Thank you doctor Vanier. I'd like to keep him under observation for awhile as well I'd like to run...."
They always do that. Walk away as they're talking. I don't care, not really, but it's rude. You'd think after eight years of school they would have learned to be polite.
I shall endeavor to be more courteous to you. You've been asleep for some time, but your awake now, and I can sense you, somewhere in this mess. I wish to speak with you. Allow me to intruduce myself to us. Our name is Carl, I think. Thats what people call me the most so we will go with that. Since we were twelve we have been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. Makes us nervous to be around others, apparantly. Everyone was okay with said diagnosis until we tried to kill Laura, our sister. Not me. But another...awareness. I named him Jarod. You might recall that day. Jarods rage and insanity woke you all screaming, terrified he might succeed in killing our precious sister. Most of you hid and fell asleep again. And now your all waking up. Hee hee. The doctors are going to be so irritated.
You should know that Jarod is still alive, somewhere in this mental maze we call home, and he wants me dead. That okay, I want him dead too, but i can't find him. That's why i'm always watching, waiting. In here. hee hee. I wanted to know what a fine situation we are in. This is not a game for me. I want to see you. ha ha hee hee. you should show yourself to me. But know that I was here first. Think of me as the senior partner, and if you abide by what i want we will be great. If you dont agree, I will make you submit, and if i can't I will kill you. snicker. And if you hide from me...I will hunt you down.
Now, Carl, who are you?

Alycia Fuentes
What if all you knew was a lie?
Alycia Fuentes is back in Pueblo, Florida where her dad lives. She and her mom left when she was 10 because he was leaving them. She left everything, and everyone behind. Including Dylan, who can't seem to forgive her for breaking his heart. When secrets begin to come to light about the past, Alycia is left wondering how she can fix the what was inadvertently destroyed.
In this summer, secrets will arise, hearts will break, and love will come in all forms.
I last saw my dad when I was ten and don't get me wrong, it isn't that I don't love him or anything, but he left mom alone after thirteen years. Five of those years were spent fighting, the last five, but they are my parents--compared to my friends' parents, a fight in the middle of the night was still miles better than a silent treatment faze.
The year before he left, dad would occasionally go out for drinks with his co-workers. I knew this because I could always smell the alcohol on his breath. I also remember the scent sticking to his worn t-shirts and slightly torn jeans.
Hugging him wasn't as much of a pleasure anymore.
Even seven years later I can still remember his clumsy footsteps echoing lazily off the walls, his shoes forgotten on his feet. The darkness in the hallway was my ally every night as I watched him clomp into my parents' bedroom, my mom's sigh alerting my senses. I can still smell the ghostly odor of whiskey when my memory lowers its protective walls. It invades my nostrils, forcing me to not look mom in the eye for several minutes at a time.
My name's Alycia Fuentes and I'm seventeen, a senior at Sandalwood High School. A year after dad left, mom decided to move us to Toronto. After months of self-help courses and sleepless, tear-filled nights, she decided that it wouldn't be healthy for us to stay in the beach town that I was born in. Pueblo, Florida hosts almost our entire family, save for a few straggling uncles and second cousins who are scattered around the world.
Unlike my mom, I enjoyed my life in Pueblo. Before dad left, I had friends. Before he began his drinking nights, I spent endless summer days fishing colorful shells from the shoreline that ran all the way to the large doll-house vacation homes. Dad always told me stories of when he was younger and brave enough to jump the big white fence that separates the rich world from our own. I had once loved the town, reveling in its richness of everyday sunshine and new traveling faces. I was a kid who had yet to fall down in life. I was naive and my dad did not love my mom.
Mom walks back to me from the ticket booth, her blond hair is in a long French-braid and her green eyes are marked by crow's feet. Her ballet flat-clad feet are soundless on the marble floor as she approaches me quickly, the sounds of the crowd around her silencing her movements.
I tried arguing with her that I didn't have to do this. This summer is important, my best friend Becky Lively and I are supposed to tan on her balcony that overlooks Lake Ontario. We're supposed to visit Chinatown during Canada's rare hot days and buy cheap jewelry. The hustle and bustle of tourists in the city during the summer is one of the most exciting moments of the year, and I'll be missing it all.
"Here you go," mom says with a smile. She never wore braces and that is a fact that she shares almost every time she receives a compliment regarding her straight, white teeth. "Now, he'll pick you up at the airport in Miami," she grimaces when she sees my unbelieving face. "Aly, this is going to be fun."
I snort. "Right," I say, "because not seeing dad in seven years after he abandoned us in a town that has probably forgotten about us sounds so promising."
"Stop it," she says, "you'll give him a chance and you will have fun."
"Like you did?"
Her eyes look at everything and everyone, but at me and I know I've hit a nerve. "Sorry," I take the plane ticket from her clutched hands. "I just don't get why now, of all the years that have passed, he suddenly wants to see me."
"Because he misses you," mom sits down beside me on the cold metal bench. We both watch a woman race through the crowd to make her flight, her bags rustling loudly as they break through the crowd around her. "Because you're his only child and he thinks you're ready to see him."
"If that's possible."
"Aly," mom puts her hand on my thin shoulder. "Please."
I nod and start grabbing my luggage. "I guess I better get going," I stand up and try hard to ignore the butterflies that are ravaging my stomach.
Mom puts her small hands on my shoulders and looks down at me like she used to when I was little. "Give him a chance," she says again. "I don't want you to not want to see him because of me, he is your father--the only one you'll get kiddo."
The thing is, I know people who've lost their dads in a more permanent way than how I lost mine, but every time I remember him or his voice or his alcoholic scent, it is with a sense of grief. A man forever lost.
Two things surprise me instantly about being back in Florida, where I was born seventeen years ago. The long-forgotten heat burning through my thin t-shirt is one and my dad, groomed and smiling, waiting for me in the arrivals section, standing out in the crowd of pale tourists and sign-wielding chauffeurs, is the second thing.

Journalist Mohamed Mohamud, commonly known as "Tima'ade," died of gunshot wounds on Saturday (26 October) at a hospital in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
Mohamed, a 26-year-old reporter who covered social and security issues for the privately-owned, UK-based Universal TV, was shot four days before. He suffered injuries to his neck, chest, and shoulder.
It is unclear who carried out the attack, although a Twitter account claiming to represent Islamist insurgent group Al-Shabaab took responsibility for the shooting.
The Somali government denounced the attack. Prime minister Abdi Farah Shirdon tweeted: "Government won't tolerate violence against journalists. There must be no impunity for cowardly thugs who want to take Somalia backwards."
At least four journalists and media workers have been murdered in Somalia this year and no arrests have been made.

Last year this time I was impatiently waiting to give birth to my first child. Meanwhile I had family members, friends and acquaintances all around me giving birth during what we called the "Boom 2011." Welp all of the boom babies have either surpassed or are approaching the one year mark. My summer and fall of 2011 was spent in between attending baby showers and planning my own. As a result, I expect to start seeing first birthday party invitations rolling in by the dozen.
Now that Go-2-Baby is days away from being 8 months old, I feel that now is the perfect time to start working on her first birthday party plans. A lot of people may feel that 1st birthdays aren't a big deal, but I beg to differ. People talk about how the child won't remember and all of that but children don't remember a lot of things that happen during the first few years of life.
I've been planning this party in my head for the last 7 months or so. I've gone back and forth about during a character theme or some other creative out-the-box theme. I'm actually leaning towards the latter. I don't plan on having an expensive over-the-top party by any means, I just want a nice party to celebrate Go-2-Baby's first year.
I've given myself a few guidelines to stick to that may be helpful to others:
1. Keep the guest list small (close family and friends with young children close to her age)
2. Make the food menu 1 yr old friendly (foods she can actually eat)
3. Stick to infant and toddler activities (no need for a pinata, do stuff like puppet shows, fun kiddie music etc. )
4. Be mindful with decorations (confetti is a no no, small enough to swallow)
5. Don't make it too long (small children get restless quick, 2-3 hours should be perfect)
I will be updating you all on my planning progress each month. I still need to choose a color scheme, pattern, theme and everything else. I started a board on Pinterest with Cake ideas already. I will definitely be looking into some of the more creative design's I've found. Thanks to the online world, there are so many places I can look for ideas and online stores to purchase personalized party supplies from. I'm probably going to have more fun than I should planning her party. I've always been the type of person who likes to plan out every single detail. I started planning my baby shower the moment I saw the word "positive" on the EPT. I still can't believe the first 7 months have flown by so fast. Go-2-Baby is so active and is really growing into her personality. Welp, let me get to planning. I want to at least have my theme finalized before she turns 9 months. Am I doing all of this too soon? How early did you all start planning for the "Big 1" as I call it?

Network Security Policy
Definition - What does Network Security Policy mean?
A network security policy is a formal document that outlines the principles, procedures and guidelines to enforce, manage, monitor and maintain security on a computer network. It is designed to ensure that the computer network is protected from any act or process that can breach its security.
Techopedia explains Network Security Policy
A network security policy primarily helps in protecting a computer network from network security threats – both internal and external – from the organization or network. It is generally a broad document and varies based on the underlying environment, organization and/or legal requirements. Typically a network security policy documents:
- Rules and legal procedures to access the network and to modify its characteristics.
- Governance and management over Web/Internet access
- Implementation of security procedures (access control) on network nodes and devices
- Role/Privilege based policies, such as identifying authorized and unauthorized services/processes any user can perform on the network
A network security policy is usually part of a broader information security policy.

Ivy Morgan is a traveler, and her little Sixth Avenue nook is a telling repository. Stuffed to the rafters with trinkets and clothing from such exotic climes as Nepal, Indonesia and Thailand, Cargo has wonderful novelties: Chinese Feng Shui compasses, temple candles, singing bowls and thangka prints and tapestries used by traveling monks to teach Buddhist stories. But for mass appeal, you can't go wrong with one of her imported T-shirts: Splashed from seam to seam with geishas, bodhisattvas, dragons, samurai warriors, anime characters and more, the body-hugging gear will open eyes and make you feel like you've been there and back.
Everyone has musical skeletons in their closet: an embarrassing Euro-trash obsession, a long-outgrown affinity for death metal, an Alanis Morissette disc purchased during a particularly weak moment. Don't fret. The curiously friendly counter crew at Cheapo Discs has seen it all, and they pass bills instead of judgment. Here, old, unwanted CDs turn into money -- which one can pocket or spend on the store's impressive and inexpensive inventory of used discs. It all works off the magical and dynamic wheel of musical tastes. After all, the Cheapo people know that we all make mistakes -- and that at any given moment, someone else is ready to make that same mistake again.
Now you can get one leg tattooed while the other one is being waxed! No, seriously: The Blue Door does offer tattooing services, along with related applications of permanent cosmetics and henna body painting. But you can also indulge in every bit of new-age massage media, from Reiki to aromatherapy, all provided by experienced women practitioners. Kick back. Take the ring out of your nose. Relax.
One day earlier this year, a young woman arrived in Capitol Hill to get her hair done. Since her regular hairdresser was still snipping the locks of another customer, the woman wandered two doors down, walked into Twisted Sol and got her genitalia pierced. There are many ways to kill time while waiting to get a haircut -- reading a magazine, for instance -- but there's nothing as creative as getting a new piercing or tattoo, and finer tattoo aficionados can spot a Twisted Sol epidermis a mile away. Whether it's Jeff Kopp's pinpoint portraits or Jeramiah Clark's spray-paint style, this place has the finest den of young ink artists in Denver. "We'll work as many hours as there are in the day," says co-owner Alicia Cardenas. Currently, there's a three-month waiting period for any of the five featured tattooists, but that will change soon. This month, Twisted Sol will expand into an adjacent space (the former Majordomos coffee shop) and add two new tattooists and another piercer. Cardenas says the store will also sell tribal art and jewelry. Whatever you decide on, it's sure to go perfectly with your trendy new trim.
Imagine Baco-Bits made of yesterday's Firestones, and you're on your way to envisioning Crown Three, a nifty lawn-care product from a company called Jaitire. Sprinkle it on heavily trafficked areas of turf grass -- dog runs, the mailman's shortcut, the path your kids beat to the swingset -- and this tiny rubber carpet will protect the crown of the grass root while conserving water, extending the growing season and insulating your lawn from the winter blues. Keep your car off the lawn, though. Non-recycled tires tend to leave a mark.
Taking its design inspiration from the board game Candy Land, the folks at Can Land Recycling do their damnedest to put the fun back into recycling. Nestled among the modular-home dealerships of north Federal, the entrance to Can Land is marked by candy-cane-striped poles and a huge, festive sculpture of suspended wooden barrels with massive grins and outstretched arms. That welcome alone is worth all the drudgery of rinsing and sorting a truckload of garbage. The grounds are decorated with a profusion of brightly colored paintings of happy homes and grateful cans caught frozen for all eternity in mid-hug. Maybe hope and happiness can live on beyond the confines of a children's game.

"Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite—there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void." — Bruce Lee
I. In the beginning was the Void.
The Void (空) subsumes your self-study, and involves your metacognition, allowing you to learn how to learn, and adapt accordingly.
Typically, the conception is that the most effective learning method research has discovered–spaced retrieval–requires software like Anki, or Memrise, etc. This is untrue.
We've been distracted by the 'Supermemo model' of spaced retrieval, popularized by articles like this, from Wired. Note the headline: Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn? Surrender to This Algorithm. Tongue-in-cheek, but that sums up the problem nicely.
Well that, and the fact that most people call such digital flashcard software 'spaced repetition', which loses the emphasis on 'retrieval practice'.
Our conception of effective learning has been constrained by the tools we use, in particular, spaced retrieval became spaced repetition with cued recall cards scheduled with multiple graded buttons (easy/good/hard), card contents formulated into a simple fact-like forms. The idea of a magical algorithm took the focus, allowing us to remember everything.
I have always described Anki as a HUD, not a vessel. It's actually sort of both, but I wanted to emphasize that Anki is a learning tool: not a tool for maintaining what you've learned, but for learning through testing and relearning through testing a few times, spaced out, to reinforce it. This isn't some quirky idea of mine that runs contrary to the anecdotal opinions you stumble across here and there. This is what the researchers emphatically state and show all the time.
I use the HUD metaphor because the tools we use for learning should be transparent, and persistent. A wearable computer, augmented reality lenses, rather than fragile glasses or a bulky VR headset.
But it's not transparent and persistent, is it? It's opaque and its usage is inconsistent. Even with mobile apps, the act of using Anki or similar software is frequently a task, a burden you take on, and the scheduling algorithm is your taskmaster. Learning should be difficult–desirably so, enough to produce optimal learning. But initiating/instantiating the learning process should not be.
What ends up happening, under the common illusion for those who don't follow the way of the Void, is that you either use Anki or similar software (e.g. the site Memrise), or you don't do spaced retrieval. So once the software becomes a burden, you have periods of anxiety and a sense of inefficiency and learn ineffectively. The rare occasion someone does ditch the software for spaced retrieval, they narrowly interpret unplugged 'spaced retrieval' as tons of paper flashcards in Leitner boxes… These all-or-nothing limitations or narrow interpretations are unnecessary.
That SRS model I described is a specific unproven model based on much broader research-based learning techniques. 'Unproven' in the sense that it's undoubtedly effective, but it inherits its effectiveness primarily from the broader techniques, which have been extensively researched and the results reproduced for a very long time. The adaptive scheduling algorithm based on graded buttons, the formatting, these are narrow refinements, attempts at maximizing, which studies clearly show are not necessary to produce far superior learning compared to other learning methods such as passively re-reading.
So let's take a look at effective learning in the Void. Then we will come back to Anki, with the epiphany that there is no Anki.
I am going to link to multiple collections of short, accessible quotes from researchers which will explain each technique, and in those links I will expand with practical implications. Think of this post as a guided tour through those links… it probably won't make much sense unless you click them.
No, seriously, see that link Spaced Retrieval below? Read it before reading the following section! It's the most important part. If you read nothing else here today, read that. Likewise for the other headings. And if you click and don't want to read it all, at least skim the quotes, which are all from the main spaced retrieval researchers.
Spaced Retrieval
Spaced retrieval is the primary method you hear about, usually with spacing the most prominent. However, it seems that retrieval practice is the real key: it's almost always the #1 focus in studies, followed by spacing when they're not combined. Spacing complements retrieval, and we can supplement spaced retrieval with various other methods: pretesting, feedback (required), interleaving, changing study locations, active encoding, and mnemonics are what I will be focusing on, as these are what the researchers tend to focus on.
Interleaving and Changing Study Locations
Retrieval, as we've noted, is primary, and effective independent of spacing, and requires corrective feedback. It synergizes with spacing, and interleaving. Retrieval can take many forms, open-ended or precise, quick or slow, abstract or physical, applying to various domains. Spacing can be rough and arbitrary, and is an optimization that can be disregarded as you like. Feedback doesn't have to be immediate–take a day if you want. We introduce variety and randomness with interleaving and changing study locations.
"By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist. That is the Void." — Musashi Miyamoto
When we examine things further, we come to understand the importance of active attention and minimalist reformulation of to-be-learned material throughout each day, focusing on 'triggers'/cues, noticing gaps in our knowledge. You can focus on these and wait to practice later in a small number of large sessions (90 minutes, perhaps), or interweave in short sessions as you look and/or listen.
Pretesting and Feedback
We want to build a web of associated triggers, something light that gives us the ability to think on our feet and find information when we need it. Pretesting offers us freedom again: we don't even need to have encountered material to benefit from attempts at retrieval, regardless of whether they're successful attempts or how long we spend trying.
Continually reflect on your learning process and make adjustments.
"There is no refuge from the living void…" — Thomas Ligotti
Organize your mind and environment–it can be with a conventional memory palace, or something more abstract. Mnemonics let us build useful links, part of that web of knowledge we desire.
Organizing Knowledge
Emphasize triggers and 'pointers' to knowledge.
Study sessions should be flexible in both content and structure: the content primarily depends on what you need or want to learn. Create new cues for learning as you work, as necessary.
Think about what order of items–easy or hard–motivates you best. For new items, hardest to easiest seems ideal; for learned items, easiest to hardest. We want flow, to be 'in the zone'.
Learning should be opt-in and effortless, your methods and environment allowing you to quickly engage with materials and tools. Which brings us to 'Void' Anki.
II. In the beginning was the Command Line.
"The void awaits surely all them that weave the wind. " — James Joyce
Void Anki
My current vision for Anki, based on the above principles, is to make it an entirely opt-in process. The interfaces for our tools affect us, so removing the decks and counts from the interface is the first step.
Once we do this, we navigate Anki by 'command-line', or rather, the Filtered deck options. You control how active or passive you want to be: perhaps one session or part of a session, you're just summoning a subset of 'Japanese' triggers/cues (as I like to think of them, rather than cards) from the pool of 'can/should be studied' cards.
Perhaps another session or subsession, you're targeting specific material, Chapter x of a book, changing filters on-the-fly to expand the current pool of triggers/cues, or creating new items, or not even creating them, but pausing to stop and practice elsewhere, without Anki.
Putting it all together, as an effective learner who uses spaced retrieval and other techniques, Void Anki has become just another tool in your kit, along with Google and your text editors or personal wikis or notebooks or Jupyter or anything else.

By developing his own conception of the 'figure' Andrew Benjamin has written an innovative and provocative study of the complex relationship between philosophy, the history of painting and their presentation of both Jews and animals.
As Benjamin makes clear the 'Other' is never abstract. He underscores the means by which the ethical imperative, arising from the way the history of philosophy and the history of art are constructed, shows us how to respond to an already identified, even if unacknowledged, determinant other.

How is it different from other text types (e.g. expositions, formal letters) you have learnt? Descriptive texts are more lively and create a very clear picture of the subject from its appearance to its function or behaviour. It also tells less stories than a narrative, even if a story in incorporated, the story would be there to tell the reader more about the subject. The subject is the main idea of a descriptive essay whereas a conflict, problem or request is the main idea of other forms of texts.
(joy)in my opinion, i think descriptive writing is describing certain things in a story. this may also include feelings of a person., (joy) descriptive writing helps to enhance reader's emotions when reading it and it adds spice to the story. It makes the story more imaginative and more interesting.
(Claire) 1. Besides providing the reader with mental pictures, description must also bring across the emotional feelings to 'touch' the reader., (Claire) 2. The whole idea of description is to show the reader what the scene is like, which is always more engaging and effective than mere telling., (Claire) 3. Description can be at a deeper level instead of just having a surface meaning - an underlying message can be subtly embedded in your story, this is called a controlling idea.
(Amy) In my opinion, descriptive writing is something that appeals to the physical and emotional sensibilities of the readers. Through descriptive writing, you also want to reveal the characteristics of a certain object, place or person., (Amy) It includes the depiction of a place, a person, a oet, an object, an experience or a memory. It must also have the ability to entice the readers to read your essay until the end., (Amy) Descriptive writing focuses more on the 5 senses which are smell, touch, sight, sound and taste, therefore providing more specific and vivid details which will draw the readers in.
(Amy) Also the aim of descriptive writing is to make your readers feel as how the author felt like while writing it., (Amy) Choose precise vocabulary to make your more interesting and use vivid similes and metaphors to create a more detailed image in the reader's head, (Amy) Effective description will help lead the readers in one important direction towards a single purpose which is to discover the underlying message of the whole story.
(joy) I feel that descriptive writing would enhance reader's emotions when reading it and it adds spice to the story. It makes the story more imaginative and more interesting., (joy) choosing the right words and using strong words would enhance reader's imagination and it would make the story alive., (joy) and also, i think that descriptive writing must include having adverbs and verbs. this is would also enhance reader's imagination adn make the story alive.
(Claire) The article written is very splendid and detailed. Everything is described, and then promptly analysed to show how it increases the visual impact. For example, the writers observed that the defendants' side of the room is brighter due to a window present there, while the prosecutor's side of the room is darker. They then proceeded to explain that this signifies the 'good' of the defendants. Describing such subtle details help the reader to envision the scene for himself/herself.
(Amy) The article is covered with descriptive words and phrases from head to toe. It describes how the characters in the scene were dressed, how the camera was angled and what their action signifies. Example, the article mentioned that Cruise and Nicholson tried invaded each other's personal space to intimidate the other person. To me this shows that descriptive writing also involves the need to analyse certain things.
1.Descriptive writing is describing a character, scene or mood, and allows the reader to feel as if they are really at the scene or experiencing the thing being described.It can create mental pictures and emotional feelings.
2.It entails precise and sensory description, a clear and logical structure and order, and effective similes and metaphors.
3.Descriptive writing is all about describing throughout, and does not require narration or arguments.
(Nicole) 1. Descriptive writing describe what you see, hear, smell, taste and feel.
(Nicole) 2. Descriptive writing entails mental pictures, emotional feelings, precise vocabulary, metaphor, symbolism and irony.
(Nicole) 3. It does not narrate like a narrative but only describes in great detail.
Afrein: 1. Descriptive writing is to show the reader how something looks, sounds, smells, tastes or feels like without just stating it
Afrein: 2. It entails descriptive language involving the 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste touch)
Afrein: 3. Descriptive writing simply describes and does not narrate a story
Micole: Descriptive writing, in my opinion is about writing in a way that involves the reader and enables him/her to mentally imagine and picture what is being described in the book, as if s/he is really there.
Micole: It entails punctilious vocabulary to accurately paint out settings etc in readers minds with perspicuity. It involves literary devices and feelings as well.
Micole: It is not a plain narrative nor an exposition, where facts and events are just thrown at the reader. It involves the reader and engulfs them with the language more than the other types of writing.
From the PDF Document, I have gained more knowledge of the fact that descriptive writing..., Puts into place/based on the five senses., Similes and Metaphors are used., Description is never used for its own sake. Normally incorporated into a story by professional writers., Writer should not be physically in the scene of a descriptive text., Image of subject should be etched into the minds of readers.
Activity 3, The setting was described with the help of thorough description of the furniture., Description of the activity taking place. And the people that are involved (what they wear, their code of conduct, how they are being addressed.) And also the main characters., Description of the sounds heard (talking, shouting, music)
[Shamini]: Descriptive writing is when one refers to matters of observation or experience. It would consist of many adjectives to elaborate on an object, setting or character.
[Shamini]: What does it entail?It involves much time, as one needs to think how and object could be described as detail as possible to help readers get a clearer picture of it but at the same time maintain its reality.
[Shamini]: How is it different from other text types (e.g. expositions, formal letters) you have learnt? Descriptive texts are more interesting to read as they allow readers to get to imagine how the object would look like compared to other texts where readers just digest the content.
Activity 2, [Emily] From the PDF document, descriptive writing 1. Puts into place/based on the five senses. 2. Makes use of many similies 3. The aim of descriptive writing is to make your readers feel as how the author felt like while writing it.
Activity3, [Emily]Heavy usage of descriptive words and phrases are used.

It involves using the five senses, sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste as well as emotions to emphasize what the narrator is experiencing in great detail. 3. It focuses on in depth study of the situation, not so much of the storyline
[Amy] 1. A composition that uses many descriptive words to appropriately describe a person, object, places or events. 2. Descriptive writing is related to our 5 senses, and uses many descriptive words or phrases. 3. It is usually not dry, or serious, and is more of a very detailed story that is very engaging with the reader.
[Erna] 1.

[Asyiqin]1. Descriptive writing expresses what the character is experiencing in the story through the use of words. 2. It contains a variety of types of words which include adjectives, adverbs and etc to help describe the character in further detail. 3. It is different as it focuses more on the character. There is a detailed description of what the character looks like, wears, is feeling and etc.
[Uma] A descriptive writing piece should target to develop a certain emotion in the reader's mind. It should also enable the reader to get a clear picture of what is happening in their mind. Descriptive writing can be enhanced by using effective (but not excess) similes, metaphors, symbols, vocabulary. Descriptive writing should also be in 2nd or 3rd person.
[KaiLeng}1.Descriptive writing allows the reader to immerse themselves in the story as though they are physically there. 2. It consists of precise vocabulary, not using adjectives in excess but weaving a situation with a variety of words. 3. It involves the description of a scene and situation, not the story.
[Amy] 1. Descriptive writing brings across the feelings of the author and creates a scene for the reader, and is a very engaging piece of writing. 2.

[Erna] The article gave a very good description of what had happened in the video. It started form a big picture, that is the court room. The description of the room was very detailed as even the little details from the room was stated. The purpose of the objects found in the room was described (eg historical frame) and allows the reader to have a better understanding of the situation. Then, the writer moves (and zoom) on to describing the defending lawyer and witness. With the correct and precise choice of word, readers are able to picture the scene in their mind. The writer also focuses the scene to the other lawyers and people in the room which further enhances the feelings of the reader.
[KaiLeng} The description is vivid, covering everything from their attire, expressions, manner, the background, atmosphere and an analysis of those. Each person has a very specific character, even the reason the actors were chosen for the role was described. The mutual intimidation was remarked upon, and so was the sudden shock of the lawyers and defendants when the witness confessed. There is also a feel of the general mood, solemn without music and the description highlights the significance of their behavior and affects the reader.
[Amy] The description is very detailed, and creates a vivid and clear picture of the scene even without the video. It starts from the overall setting, the courtroom, before starting to zoom in on each character. The words used weave out a clear picture of the scene or the character and the feelings involved. It also notes the camera angles, which help to enhance and sharpen the image already brought to mind.
1. Descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or object which creates an visual image in the reader's head, which makes a lasting impression on the reader. [zhixin], 2. The writer needs to have a good command of the English Language especially a wide range of vocabulary to be able to describe the person, place or object as vividly as possible to leave a lasting impression on the reader. [zhixin], 3. Descriptive writing is a more personal form of writing as everyone have different writing styles and the way people describe people, places, objects,etc are different and there are no definite form or structure unlike expository or formal letter writing. [zhixin]
1. It is a about describing a particular object by using good language about what the five senses perceive, and better if relating to readers. [Rachel], 2. It entails a main object for readers to focus on, good creativity to describe the object, and a good usage of language to be able to describe the object precisely, to form a picture on readers' minds. [Rachel], 3. It does not have a function nor a story. It focuses and describes only the object that it is all about.
1. Descriptive writing is making use of words to describe a certain person, object or place. It gives a it vivid and original imagery, which makes it seem as though it were real, to create a heavier and more impactful impression on the reader [Viency], 2.It entails many different aspects of the english language, which requires the writer to have a good and wide range of vocabulary in order for them to be able to create a better and more realistic picture of whatever that needs to be depicted. Good manipulation and usage of words and language is also very important. [Viency], 3.Descriptive writing, as its name is, is descriptive. It is meant to describe, not write a story. The main basis of a descriptive is that it has to be descriptive. It it not meant to be written like a narrative, or an expository essay. [Viency]
1. Descriptive writing is a form of writing whereby expressive words are used to further illustrate the feelings/settings/appearance of the characters/surroundings to create a more specific atmosphere for the reader. [Stef], 2. It involves a strong library of vocabulary and phrases/quotes which can be inputted into the essay. Not only so, it requires the writer to have a vivid imagination as that is the main 'powerhouse' which keeps the essay interesting. [Stef], 3. As compared to other forms of essay writing, descriptive essays puts a larger focus on the way things are being described and put into words. Also, it creates room for suspense as the reader does not know what to expect while reading the story, whereas as compared to expository or formal letters, there's a restriction in the imagination of the path the story is going to take. [Stef]
I've found out about the 6 steps to a successful descriptive writing, they are: Read the question with thought and care, avoid storytelling and the present, describe only what is relevant to helping develop your underlying message, and put your reader into the right frame of mind to become involved in your writing. [faith]
I learnt that a good description involves using similes or metaphors to describe what the 5 senses experience "live", writing on a particular theme. I also discovered a few tips on descriptive writing, which are mainly to use precise and sensory description, to avoid storytelling, and write only about the past and not the present in order to be clear of the tenses usage. [Rachel]
I found out that description isn't just a simple use of words, but rather it involves everything that you use, the 5 senses is an extremely important aspect in description writing, the 6 steps was also very important to ensure that descriptive writing remained descriptive, and not turning ti into a story, and how it could be better written into a more vivid and realistic piece of work. [Viency]
They made use of word p[lay to make their simple speech full of emotion, where you could actually imagine the things they were going through. Word use was simple, but the way everything was used and put into play by the actors made the words seem more impactful. They were able to create a picture where things were not as they seem on the outside but rather there was something an unknown secret behind everything that had happened. It draws the audience and creates an atmosphere of mystery. [Viency]
This picture shows that admist the scenic view of the horizon separating clearly the skies of numerous clouds and the vast, never-ending sea, a bustling city is in it. The city s full of life as I see miniature cars moving around, together with skyscrapers, joining them up to form a lively city. This evokes a feeling of fun and excitement, similar to the ones I would have when going to a funfair or theme park. Overall, the picture is interesting and also picturesque as the camera focuses on the cheerful and bustling city amidst the beautiful vast sea and the mesmerizing sky with clouds each of unique shapes. [Rachel]

The main goal of NASA's Curiosity rover mission is to delve into the secrets of the Red Planet — and one of the big ones is trying to prove definitively that there really is water on Mars. Well, the odds are looking up, but Curiosity could need a reroute to avoid contaminating the site.
After figuring out those strange stains on the slopes of Mars might actually be remnants of water, NASA is retasking the Curiosity rover to check them out and gather some samples. The perks of already having some tech on the Red Planet, right?

Volunteers stop work over donation
PACIFIED After civic chief reprimanded them over taking donation for immersion, volunteers briefly stopped work at Vashi
Volunteers, who immerse the idols at immersion sites, went on a flash strike on Saturday following a warning by municipal commissioner Tukaram Mundhe against the collection of money from the devotees.
The volunteers were later pacified by senior police inspector of Vashi police station Ajaykumar Landge, following which they resumed the immersions.
There have been complaints by devotees that they have to pay exorbitant amounts to have their Ganpati idols immersed at several ponds in the city. The maximum complaints were from Vashi pond. "Those bringing small idols have to pay a minimum of Rs500 to volunteers and the amount increases with the size of the idol and also the reputation of the mandal. A well known mandal in Vashi last year paid Rs22,000 for the immersion of its large idol," said a resident, requesting anonymity.
On Saturday, Mundhe visited the Vashi pond during the 6th day of immersion and took the volunteers to task. Mundhe said, "You will not charge a single penny from the people who come to get their idols immersed. You are paid Rs427 per head per day."
"If you don't want to work, you can leave," he told the volunteers, who are paid on a daily basis by the NMMC.
When the volunteers told him that they work for long hours, he said, "I accept you work hard. However, any decision on raising the amount given by the civic body, can be taken for next year. For now, you have to follow it."
He said, "If anyone is found taking money from the devotees, we will file criminal action against them. Do not take the money even if someone offers it."
Mundhe seized the donation box of the volunteers that was being used to keep the money collected.
After Mundhe left, the angry Municipal commissioner Tukaram Mundhe inspects Vashi pond, an immersion site, on Saturday.
volunteers struck work and refused to immerse the idols. Vashi senior police inspector Ajaykumar Landge then spoke to the volunteers and asked them to resume the immersion. The volunteers then changed the NMMC T-shirts they were wearing and put on the Police mitr T-shirts and started the immersions.
Nilesh Patil, a volunteer, said: "We start working from 6 am and the immersions go up to 4am the next morning. We have to work hard and even risk our lives. What is wrong in accepting what the devotees offer."
Mundhe also had a go at his civic officials when he saw unsegregated garbage in the bins near the pond. He said, "There are bins here clearly marked for dry and wet garbage. Why is no care being taken to segregate the garbage? Why is everything being dumped together?"
The officials then hurriedly arranged for additional bins. A girl waters the tree Ganesha at a house in Seawoods on Saturday.
