Transition Towns

laid out the introduction, and I covered all of the main points I wanted to. The introduction was my favorite part of the speech, during the introduction I did a good job scanning the audience and my voice did not shake, I almost seem confident through that part of the speech. The only thing I would change is that I would pick a different attention getter, because the video clip I chose did not seem to draw the audience in the way it was meant to. I believe that my speech flowed well it was very easy to move from one point to the next because they fit together nicely. If I did it again I would add another transition in between when I was talking about his early life and Lucille. I was thinking about these two things as both being part of the early part of his career, but I do not think that I portrayed this and it seemed choppy moving from one to the next. The only transition I had was between main points of his early life and the legacy he has today. All of the content in my speech was very relevant and it outlines most of who B.B. King was as a person and his career. I ended with a quote and then summed up what I had just talked about, leaving them with hopefully a little bit more knowledge of B.B. King. For next time I would change up the order of the conclusion I would begin by summing up and then end the speech with a quote. Possible leaving them with something to think about after my speech was…

Small Town Living Both Colby and Our Town are both small towns, but they both have their differences. Our Town has a population “within the city limits: 2, 640” (Wilder 15) and colby has a population of 5,419. Our Town is a little bit smaller than Colby, but they both show similar characteristics. In small towns everyone knows almost everyone who lives there. This can be good and bad because with everyone knowing each other, news spread like a wildfire. If people do something big everyone will…

First one is the industrial revolution. It is the transition to new manufacturing processes including going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, improved efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power, the development of machine tools, the rise of the factory system etc. People started to think that working in factories, industrial sector, is more interesting that working in farms, agricultural sector because the more…

Aside from intermittently picking up their “social distraction-integration device” (or as I refer to their cell phones) from time to time, they were fully engaged in interaction (“doing gender” as society would refer to as gossiping between females) with each other. Group 4: there was a Caucasian Mother (possibly late 20s-early 30s and what looked to be her mother, 40s-50s) with two children (two little girls between 4 and 8) at a table. Judging by the social demographic, it seems that this…

program would be encouraged to dig deep, pinpointing core issues within that have affected them negatively leading them to the path as to where they are. This process will allow the individual to go through a healing process, thus facilitating inner growth. We will ask participants to look at themselves through group therapy sessions, individual counseling, mentoring, pre and post self-assessments, and progressive goal setting. During this phase, they will also have the opportunity to reconcile…

attraction was observed when in contact with a magnet. The element was in an oil and the color of the element was a light gray. When the element was put in water, it dissolved immediately and bubbled. The beaker was warm to the touch. When reacting, the element dissolved into a sphere, ricocheted off the edges of the beaker, and sent off tiny sparks. When the element was added to the weak acid H2SO4, a similar reaction occurred. The element reacted immediately and bubbled. A gas was let out and…

issues incorporate insufficient water and sanitation, absence of waste transfer, and modern pollution. Unfortunately, decreasing the issues and improving their consequences for the urban populace are costly (Fuller 2015). Human wellbeing may be in a bad way as an aftereffect of the natural corruption. Zones presented to poisonous air toxins can bring about respiratory issues like pneumonia and asthma. A great many individuals are known not kicked the bucket of because of aberrant impacts of air…

excavation of the salt dome underneath the town of Grand Saline. With the newly discovered abundance of salt there were plenty of jobs to go around as The Great Depression began to settle upon the market. By the year 1945 there were 950 people employed by the mine in Grand Saline, and that number doesn’t include the transportation jobs that were created by the mine either. The added income in town from the jobs created allowed for the local prices to fluctuate without dropping as far as they…
