This week information

This week I needed information about relief your stress when you have presentation. I went back to my book in Public Speaking to learn how to claim when doing presentation. The book says that you have several ways to control your anxiety and tension. One way can be self-positive talk where you tell yourself that you will do well and you can make it. Another way controls your breathing by taking your time and knows that no need to hurry. Other one which I found it more useful is practicing a lot that gives you an experience of what you will do in a real presentation. You need to practice front of your friends, so they will give some feedback which will help you to know your strength and weakness. I really found this information helpful and I used them on my last presentation, and I noticed an improvement in my presentation. I became more self-confidence and more relaxing in my presentation. Here is a video talking about fears of public speaking.

Controlled Vocabulary

I think that I should first start with definition of controlled vocabulary which is organized lists of words and phrases, or notation systems, that are used to initially tag content, and then to find it through navigation or search. Therefore, by controlled vocabulary we can organize and label our information. Controlled vocabulary could speed up our research and give us more results to use, so we don’t need to research again with different words.

If we think about the word “car” how we can research about it. Probably vehicle is the controlled vocabulary for car, or it could be motor. The related terms for car are trucks, or any automobiles including their technology (http://getwords.com/unit/100/ip:1). The broader terms are motorcar, automobile, and vehicle. Moreover, narrow terms might be sedan and coupe. The UF for car could be wheels and auto.

Talal

Talal, Alanazi, TA, Maradona, and Toti all of these refers to Alanazi Talal. As you notice there are many ways for everyone to be called by his friends, family, and co-workers. Some people don’t like to be called by their nicknames, but for me it’s okay. When I play soccer people start calling me Maradona which refers to the best soccer player through the history because I look like him, and I really love to be called Maradona only in field of soccer otherwise I like people to call me by my first name. If I were a famous I would prefer to be called Talal which is my first name because I would like people to know me as what I’m not as different guy even this difference is just my name. Also, I like my first name and I like it more when people pronounce my first name.          

I think the most important overarching question in my field of study is “are you good in math?” Computer Science is depended on math, so if you are good in math everything will go smooth with you, and you will not face a lot of problems in your study. The other question could be asked is what skills you have in computer. If you having good skills in computer will make your study easier than if you do not have that kind of skills. I think these two questions are the common overarching questions in my field of stud. In this video a definition of computer science and what it is about and the future of computer science major.   

The case against peer review

In this article the author talks about peer review and the important of it. I agree with the author when he says Peer review is the gold standard of modern science. I think peer review could help you to get the best results you looking for. It helps you to find out the right person for the job or study you would offer to him or to her. I experienced that here in Untied State when I had a peer review with my classmates. It really helpful in my option, it helps to gather your ideas with your classmate’s ideas and came up with a wonderful thought.  here is a link to an article I read about peer review.

How The Internet Gets Inside us

Imagine our lives without internet! Actually, internet now is a part of our lives; you cannot spend a day of your life without using internet. Our businesses, schools, hospitals, and other important facilities on our lives could not be used without internet.

 Even in our relationships internet plays a role, too many web sites were made to help you find your soul mate. Others were made to keep your friendship with your friends even if they are in different country or so far form you such as Facebook, and Twitter. I think that would be used as proving of people’s accepting internet on their lives. Internet now is considered as media and also as resource for old media and has effects as TV and newspaper have. A link to a video below talks about the internet in future.

Diet Soda

Yes I drink diet soda and regular soda everyday on my life even I heard that it could hurt your health. However, as too many other products that we use, eat, or drink it has advantages and disadvantages.  As advantage diet soda could help you to lower the risk of developing kidney stones http://www.topnews.in/drinking-diet-soda-may-lower-risk-developing-kidney-stones-2157418 .

As a disadvantage diet soda could cause a cancer as it says in the first article depending on an Italian study. Also, diet soda could make fat as you will see in the video below. For I would not change my habit of drinking soda either it is diet or regular because as I said before it could hurt you or help you, so it has kind of balance for me. As a result, I think both article are right. I think that there was a flaw in second article when the author shows that there is no risk of diet soda and trying to prove to us drinking diet soda is save and keep drinking soda. For me second article seems to be a commercial for diet soda not as prove of safety.  

   

Information Needed This Week

This week I had to look up for jersey to Murray State University soccer team. My teammates and I discuses what we should wear and decided that everyone should go online and search for jersey. 
I thought that prices are the first thing I have to worry about it. I just type cheap soccer jersey on Google then Google leads me to eBay ebay.com which has good jersey with reasonable price. It was really useful and helpful information, and I would use this web site (eBay) in future to get more items that I need because it has good items with reasonable prices.

Wal-Mart

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart to see how it’s organized and structure. Once you enter Wal-Mart you will see candies and other items with big sale on them. Items at Wal-Mart are organized by categories, so you have a coffee section where you can find anything related to coffee as well as others categories. What are close to door are things easy to carry and have on them big sale. However, expensive and large size items are located in the back of store. The peanut butter is found in a better section as I think but I’m not sure. The peanut you can find on Legumes section. I really have not faced a problem like that I always find what I’m looking for in the section that seems to have it. 

Web is dead. Long live Internet

Before reading this article I was thinking that web and internet do the same job, but after reading this article I learned a new thing. This article shows us that now we use the internet more than we use the web which I believe it’s right. Everyone uses smartphones to access to the internet, so our used to the web becomes less and less. I’m really confused about this or you can say I believe in what is saying in the article in one side and I don’t believe the other side. What I believe in is that the internet is hugely uses by people and web begins using less, but that doesn’t mean the web is dead. The use of the web still good even it’s not as few years ago, but we still needs the web to do our business.  I think both of the web and the internet is needed in our lives, so we can’t say the web is dead and long live the internet.  Here is a video which I think could be a good source to provide with more information. This is a link to that video....
