What I thought about iMovie and the making of my own movie.

At first I really didn't know where to start, what pictures to take, what questions to ask for my interviews. But after some fellow classmates had revealed there's I had a good idea of what it should some what look like and then it wasn't so scary for me. I took a lot of pictures of my own animals, and interviewed my closest friend. It was diffidently a good learning experience for me and fun in the end.

Dear Crystal Deweerd, 

I am writing this letter in regards of why I think iPads aren't the greatest thing for student studies. Moreover, based on the unresolved technical issues I personally have encountered! has discouraged me.

I am a student at broadview universitity, and have experienced many issues that has prevented me from finishing my homework. The fact that iPads require internet access to have them function has set me back already. Teachers expect you to have access to do homework, which already has me falling behind. All though they give you the option to opt out for books, you would still have to bring your iPad because they expect you to use other programs like near pod, and iMovie. Lastly, the fact that the school is leaving it up for us to purchase the apple care, not all of us have the money to afford it.  

I propose that the iPad should not be a major homework necessity. I agree that we should still have it for the near pod for the in class activities. But other than that no outside homework on it especially for online homework. I find it unfair as to why we needed them in the first place.

Week 3: in class blogger assignment

1. Describe the number one cause of interpersonal conflict and how open and clear communication can help reduce it. Number one cause is Lack of clarity. Bad communication is a major role in interpersonal conflict, and what you can do to help clarify a situation would be maybe to step in there shoes, or look at there point of view. 

2. I would say assertive would be the must desire able because it's a win/win state of being.  Assertive is a compromise situation and your productive. Passive is the kind of person that doesn't want to rock the boat, people don't respect you, and it's a lose/lose. Aggressive would be wont budge, do what they want, and in these one it's got a win/lose. Assertive is a compromise situation and your productive. 

3. The concept of win/win is that you come to an understanding or agreement. Win/win differs from win/lose by when both people win then there's no argumentative discussion and when there's a win/lose there could be world war three on your hands. A no deal would be when you have a assertive and a aggressive person together cause aggressive person will be the one that doesn't want to compromise and assertive will so that leads to a no deal.

4. The effective people put there focus in the circle of influence because they are setting a goal. The circle of concern is just using up energy and not making a difference. 

5. So Compromising means that each person gets partially satisfied but not completely satisfied. Collaboration is like making the conflict expand in order for both to get the same amount. Maintaining  trust among people speaking and listening with sensitivity and empathy, it’s possible to achieve total need satisfaction for both of them. With synergy, you could come up with a creative solution that  satisfies everyone’s needs, they could achieve a 100/100 agreement instead of a 50/50 split. I would say collaboration is an effective way for win/win agreement. 

Describe the difference between passive, aggressive, and assertive behavior. What behavior leads to win/win solutions and relationship and why.

 I would say assertive would be the must desire able because it's a win/win state of being.  Assertive is a compromise situation and your productive. Passive is the kind of person that doesn't want to rock the boat, people don't respect you, and it's a lose/lose. Aggressive would be wont budge, do what they want, and in these one it's got a win/lose. Assertive is a compromise situation and your productive. 

In one year form now.

In one year from now, I would like to be in a company that will work with my school schedule. Be in my on vehicle driving myself to work and school, not having to depend on everyone else getting to my own destinations.  I will by then should be starting to get into my vet field cause I should be close to graduation.  I should be more dependable of myself this is where I'll be in a year. 

The 60 second pitch

By Sanorah Stump

 

I have always been interested in the veterinary field since I was 6 years old, the one in the family that if there was a nest of baby mice I wanted to save them.

I am currently enrolled in the veterinary technician program at Broadview University; it involves training in musculoskeletal system, anatomical terms, species-specific terms, digestive system and urinary system.

I have experience working at the vet’s office for one year as a kennel technician, folding surgery laundry, insert catheters, examine x-rays, analyze procedures and provide proper restraints.

I also bring customer service and communication skills. I am just happy to be here.

blog for week 2 assignment

Active listening- indicating you are listening, rephrasing repeating- what they say.

Empathetic- taking what’s being said and constructing it. Showing that you care or you comprehend for others.

By listening to someone you have a better understanding of what there trying to get across, there for you can communicate better.

These skills can help you avoid the main workplace conflict, by being a good listener and being able to communicate, knowing that the point is getting across because you have that ability to communicate if not then the workers are not aligned. They may not meet the objective, and there would then be no meaning dialogue or discussion and there for no progress being done. Conflict in the work place is point blank just bad communication.

Blog for week one

                my intentions for these class

    My intentions for this class are to better my communication skills with people. Hopefully it will help me be more outgoing towards others, where it would be a problem for me to just walk up to someone or a customer and be able to talk and communicate with others without it being a big deal. Being able to tune myself in to listen better to what others have to say.

   To better myself all the way around in the social world, to get a good grade in the class, coming out with more knowledge on how to communicate with others.

How To Write A College Paper

Abstract

This paper will explore what is commonly wrong with college papers. I will be writing about common mistakes students make when learning to write. I will also present a series of steps to follow to help you write a well structure and coherent college essay.

Introduction

How is it that most people don’t know how to write a proper college paper? Maybe it’s because they don’t know how to brainstorm or proofread. Or possibly no one has showed them some easy steps in writing a perfect college paper.

After you have your subject, you need to get the topic sentence which states the main idea of the paragraph that expresses an opinion, feeling, attitude, point of view or statement.  The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of the paragraph. (Robitaille, 2007)

For the research, look up what you’re going to be writing about and get as much information on it as you can to be more knowledgeable about your topic/subject. It will help you out a lot in writing your paper.

Brainstorming is listing as many ideas as possible to support your thesis, and out of your list you pick the ones that best fit your thesis. The way I learned was to get a piece of lined paper, put a circle in the middle and then draw lines that branch out from that with your ideas. You can use multiple of them, just make sure they all go together.

 Note cards can help you put your research in order and also helps to make your paper flow.

You can use outlining for drafts, essays and paragraphs. Outlining is another way to write your essay in the order you want including all your important ideas.

Free writing is just writing everything that comes to mind. Write about why you feel the way you do about the topic. Write as much as you can for five minutes. You don’t have to worry about if your spelling is right or punctuations. That can be revised later.

Then you have to proofread your paper, which is the process of examining “the content and organization of your writing to see how they can be improved.” (Robitaille, 2007) Read it out loud to yourself. That also will help with the revising process if you don’t have anyone around to help.

You should have someone else read your first draft to give you feedback on what does and doesn’t work; what is and isn’t clear. Focus on developing and clarifying your ideas. You may decide you need more supporting details. You can also delete details that don’t relate to your main idea.

Next, polishing up your ideas use precise language, active verbs, appropriate vocabulary and transitions! Be specific on what you’re writing, “Don’t use weak verbs such as is/are, has/have, and does/do.” (Robitaille, 2007)

            When editing, read your essay about five to six times to focus on different errors, like spelling, comma errors, the ones you know you have trouble with the most. “Reading your paragraph backwards helps also.” (Robitaille, 2007)

 

Conclusion

     I have explored aspects on what is commonly wrong with college papers and some simple steps on how to improve your college papers. Every essay is different depending on the topic, target audience, and essay format. These are a few basic steps to assist in origination flow and communication. There are many different essay writing strategies. All you have to do is find the one that works for you.

Cannon Beach

                                                Cannon beach

                                                 Sanorah stump

                                                5/20/13

 

With its distinctive rock formations, pounding surf, and quaint town, Cannon Beach is a great place to take the family on a weekend trip to the ocean. It is relatively close to Portland, Astoria, and seaside. Friday through Sunday they have music, theater, poetry and visual art November 1^st to 3^rd.

When to go: May to September they hold festivals with fun activities to do with the whole family.  

Where to stay: reserve a family rental beach home at Sunset Vacation Rental for only $350 a night, including 3 bedrooms, 3 baths. The rentals are pet friendly, and include a yard for the family companion and kids. The units have a deck, washer and fully furbished kitchen and much more!

How to get around: if you stay in town you can walk everywhere. For those of you that are out on the beach there are bike trails, even a trolley that circles around the whole town.  Or if you have a rig, it just takes five minutes to the closest shopping center or restaurant.  

Where to eat and drink: go dine at one of the following famous restaurants, vegetarian café, and brew and bar, Bruce’s candy kitchen, Pancake Mill and seafood café.

Cultural tip: the town was first discovered by William Clark in the year 1806, and got its first name “Ekoli” from Clark, Sacagawea, and a few of Clark’s companions. They were on a journey to explore the beach, and ran into a beached whale that some Tillamook Indians were boiling for blubber. So Clark traded gold in exchange for 300 pounds of blubber and some whale oil to bring back to Fort Clatsop. They ended up changing the name of the town a few different times, but the main one that stuck was “Ekoli” which we changed to Ecola which means whale in Chinook, in memory of William Clark.

Fun facts: every year Cannon Beach has a sandcastle contest on June 4^th to June 6^th. So come to Cannon Beach, be ready for some fun activities, the feeling of the warm sand in between your toes. Kids, dogs… grandmas, bring the whole family.

How to saddle a horse

                                                Sanorah Stump

                                                How to saddle a horse step by step

 

 Have you ever just wanted to go saddle up a horse and go for a ride?  Are you a new horse owner needing assistance on how to saddle a horse? Well now you can with my step by step on how to saddle a horse I will be explaining it in this form. 1) Grooming with your horse safely tied,  2) position the blanket or pad, 3) lift the saddle on, 4) check both sides of the saddle, 5) fasten cinch or girth, 6) do up the girth buckles or cinch straps, 7) help the saddle settle and remove wrinkles.

 Unless you’re prone to riding bareback, you will need to properly saddle your horse for your ride.

To begin, you need to first groom your horse. For the horse’s comfort you want to make sure the

coat is free of any mud, dirt or hair clumps that can become irritating under the saddle when riding.
 

Check to make sure there are no sores on your horse’s back or cinch area. If there are saddle sores

present, use extra padding or a girth pad. Though you may want to consider letting the sores heal

before riding or just ride bare back if comfortable.

 Note: saddling your horse is normally done from the left (near side) of your horse. Make sure the saddle blanket is also clean and free of debris and is dry. Place the saddle blanket well forward and pull back toward the rear of the horse so the front of the pad rests just in front of the withers. Always slide the blanket with the horse’s hair and not against it to prevent any hair form getting clumped under the blanket. Be sure to use a large enough blanket so it shows all the way around the outside of the saddle. Using too small of blanket will not adequately protect your horse from the saddle and make it very uncomfortable.

Before you swing the saddle up and over the horses back, place the right stirrup and cinch over the seat so they do not hit and startle the horse. Hook the right stirrup on the saddle horn to hold it in place, ensuring you lift the saddle high enough so none of the flaps hit your horse. Gently lower the saddle onto your horse’s back. Place the saddle so that there is at least an inch of blanket in front. Placing the saddle to far up on the blanket will cause the blanket to work its way backward under the saddle while riding. The fork or swell should rest neatly over the withers.

 Make sure to check both sides for evenness and to drop the stirrup and cinch. Don’t just toss them over so they slap the side of your horse, and check that the blanket is centered. Always keep a hand on your horse’s rump when walking around to the opposite side so your horse is aware of your presence. Once the saddle is on the blanket, lift up on the front part of the saddle pad to create an air pocket between the blanket and your horse’s withers.

Reach under your horse’s belly for the cinch or girth. Run the latigo or tie strap through the cinch ring and D-ring twice. Tighten the cinch just enough so it’s up against your horse’s belly. Next create a loosely tied cinch knot. To make the knot, pull the latigo to one side of the D-ring again. Then pull the end of the latigo down through the loop you created.   

Tighten cinch slowly so it’s nice and snug around the horse’s belly just behind the front legs. The cinch should be snug enough so you can just fit your finger between the cinch and horse’s belly. Before tightening the cinch, double check that the blanket is centered and the cinch is straight and not twisted, the cinch should not be able to rub or cut into the horse’s front legs. Tighten up the cinch knot and secure the end of the tie strap through the latigo carrier in front of the saddle.

 If there is a back cinch, fasten it after the front cinch is snug.  The back cinch should be close to the horse’s belly so it does not get caught on brush or branches, but should not be too tight, your hand should be able to fit flat between the cinch and horse. There may be another strap to connect to the rear cinch to the front cinch to prevent the rear cinch from interfering with the horse’s back legs.

Next walk your horse around to make sure it relaxes. Some horses will puff out their stomachs and lungs when first putting on the saddle, making it impossible to fully tighten the front cinch. make sure it is tighter than snug. You don’t want the saddle to slide off the horse while mounting or riding. Pull your horse’s legs forward to get any pinch skin out from under the girth.

So I have gone over the grooming, position of the blanket and pad, lifting the saddle on, checking both sides of the saddle, fasten cinch or girth, doing up the girth buckles or cinch straps, and last helping the saddle settle and removing wrinkles. So go out there and try it yourself, and have fun.
