HDTV
ReplyDeleteYes, I watch some TV series such as CSI, Supernatural, and X-filed on HDTV.I think HDTV has more beautiful color and clarity than traditional TV. It makes me feel the figures on TV more real and vivid.Moreover, the flat screen of HDTV is another attraction.The room finally became a spacious place.As everything has its pros and cons, HDTV does have its drawback.For example,the beam of HDTV is too bright,and the light makes my eyes sore and dry, sometimes.

Q:Why are more and more Americans adopting a gluten-free diet?
ReplyDeleteNowadays,many Americans want to cut out gluten due to suffering from celiac disease.
For example,some people feel painful about bloating and digestive.In order to ease these symptoms,most of Americans come to doctors. According to doctors suggestiong,avoid eating the foods contained the protein,like wheat, barely, vye...and so on.Becides,exercising and increasing the fiber intake regularly are also a point to against IBS,because it can help intestine absorb nutrients.However,it is hard to retain,because it needs long time and strong determination.
Therefore,in my opinion,it will be easier to do if we can get used to this eating life style under medical supervision.
To conclude it,the littler gluten we take,the healthier life we will live.

According to what he does, He is really a positive role to us.

Q: How does your use of social media affect your face-to-face interaction with other? Tell both the positive and negative effects.
ReplyDeleteA: I think the social media is necessary for everyone at this age, because we can obtain new information and knowledge quickly , Also we can make new friends on the internet, which is another positive effect. But you need to learn to control yourself, or else you’ll spend too much time on it, making it hard to maintain your family relationship, and even your health. When using social media, make sure to set a limit.
Why are more and more Americans adopting a gluten-free diet?
ReplyDeleteMost Americans take pizza, burgers and potatoes as their staples. Since these food contained gluten, it may cause pain or digestive issues. People were suggested to change their diet. And that's why more Americans are taking gluten-free diet as their staples. Other than eating for their own health, they had also discovered food from different cultures.
William 丘建賢
In spite that the Coldplay has become a world – famous band, the leader of the band, Chris Martin, still insist on the humble and positive attitude. For many top-end singers, entertainers, or music artists, this is not easy to maintain. The behaviors will affect not only youth but also adults, because the main fashion trend is always popular and adored by them. Chris Martin advocates anti-drug and campaigns on plenty of society issues, this positive and accommodating attitude will guide people to the right track and transmit the accurate and vital value to audience virtually.The combination of Martin’s charisma and emotionally introspective, obliquely poetic music style – all reflect his personality. For youth and adults, he is really a good model.

Why are more and more Americans adopting a gluten-free diet?
ReplyDeleteStart with the mouth. the villi, tiny hair-like projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients, are damaged and do not effectively absorb basic nutrients.
Knowing what we can eat and remind ourselves that there is more to life than diet.
Some people suffer gluten intolerance or have been diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects one in 133 adults, they are going gluten-free for good, not as a fad.
It requires vigilant label reading and a dedication to eating at home.
Overall, people change their diet to the principle of "Embrance it and live well."
Even the dietitian can not grasp her body completely that we should take care of our body and maintain a good lifestyle that promotes Healthy living and a better gastrointestinal health.

Q:How does tou use of sosial media affect your face-toface interation with other? Tell both postive and negtive effect.
ReplyDeleteA:Social media has become an important tool to connect people today. Though social media, I can catch up with friends who I haven't seen for a long time or friends now lives in other country. People chat, share photos or even play games without meeting each other. Those things were impossible to achive in the past.
However, peoples who meet on internet are not always the ones they are. The true emotion and connection between people require face-to-face interation. For example, I can never judge someone's personality throgh internet, meeting people is still the best way to make friends.
Stephen 王信夫
If you are feeling grateful,it is a kind of a social booster shot,and you pass it on.
ReplyDeleteHow can we start?
1.Keep a daily gratitude journal in which you make notes of all the good things and the gifts that have come your way that day.
2.Focus on the good things that others have done for you.This makes us realize that we are loved.
3.Learn to develop a language of gratitude rather than a lauguage of complaint.
If most people engaged in these practices on a regular basis,the world might be a much happier and healthier place.

Q: Explain the author's use of zebras and lions to illustrate the point of the book.
ReplyDeleteA: Author called perfect prospects "zebras", because if they are determined by their characters, they will be identified quickly and easily, and never be confused with another animals.
In addition, author called trade-tracers "lions", includingthe salespeople and even CEOs. Because lions can use their natual ability to identify the right prey, catch it and feed the crowds. Lions also won't swipe at any food source within the sight, they pursue prey that is worth the energy.
Author used this point to tell the readers how to be the good lions and assess the easily-caught zebras.

Q: Do you think something like the Myca Platform will become the standard for medical management? What are its advantages? What are its drawbacks?
ReplyDeleteA:
In the modern society, it seems that everything can go online. Even doctors can make diagnosis online!
There are many advantages of the online diagnosis. It’s very convenient, very efficient, and doctors can use it to manage time better since doctors and patients can just sit behind their computers and talk about the diseases.
However, it also has many drawbacks, which deserve careful consideration. Can patients provide enough information for doctors to diagnose? Can doctors make correct diagnosis just from online conversations? Dose the online diagnosis provide legal responsibility?
So, before the programs like Myca Platform become popular, we need to think more carefully about it.

Q: How is Chris Martin a positive role model for youth and adults alike?
ReplyDeleteA: Chris Martin is practical, even humble about his role. Also he is righteously well-behaved. When he was earning degrees at London University, he refused to release their first record until he’d taken final exams. It is a positive role model for youth to be a student. He says he has a responsibility to affect the world in a positive way. Being a leader singer of one of the biggest band, he has campaigned on some global issues. That’s way he is a positive role model for adults, too.

Q: Explain the author’s use of zebras and lions to illustrate the point of the book?
ReplyDeleteA: At first the author describes salespeople spend 85 percent of time in the business with no results. At the sales jungle, salespeople are as lions, and customers are as zebras. Indentifying zebras to perfect fit for lions is most important point of the book, but don’t provide equal vigor to every customer, which is an ineffective thing. Lions indentify the right zebras and catch them effectively. Therefore, salespeople chose the worth customers finish the deal.

ReplyDeleteQ: why are more and more Americans adopting a gluten-free diet?
ReplyDeleteA: Because they suffer from gluten intolerance or have been diagnosed with celiac disease. In every 133 adults, there is one to have the abdomen disease. Having gluten-free diet can heip them to be away from uncomfortable. One of my relative also has the same situation, and he has used the gluten -free diet from two years ago. I discovered that he looked more spiritedly and healthier than before. He suggested me that I can try the gluten-free diet, even I don't have the same disease. So that is the good reason why more and more Americans are adopting a gluten-free diet.
Q: Do you watch a lot of programs filmed in HDTV? If so, ehat are its improvements over regular TV? What are the drawbacks?
A: I have watched a lot of programs filmed in HDTV. The monitor looks clearer, and the people on HDTV also look more nature but truer. For example, the wrinkle and the line on people's faces are visual. And the standard TV is not so clear. So on HDTV, it should have excellent makeup skills to cover defects on people's faces. If not, the drawbacks of people on HDTV would be not beautiful.

Q: How does your use of social media affect your face-to-face interaction with others?
ReplyDeleteTell both the positive way and negative effect
A:
Most people use “MSN” and “facebook” not only for communication but also for building their own social relationship with others, and I’m no exception. For example, I can hold a meeting with my team members or chat with my friends who leave far away from me.
However, things always have two sides. While using these media, I may lose the happiness of interacting with others face-to-face .The worst of all ,I’m possibly weakening the social ability which is more complicated than talking in front of the computer.
So, in order to enjoying the convenience of the social media and at the same time, won’t lose the social ability, we’d better make a balance between these two social approaches.

Q: Do you watch a lot of programs filmed in HDTV? If so, ehat are its improvements over regular TV? What are the drawbacks?
ReplyDeleteA: HDTV is one of the high-tech products in the world now. It is skinning and thin, so we can have more space for putting other things. Compared to the traditional TV, it had limited colors, such as black and white, and the visual effect of HDTV is clearer, crisper and more vivid. Now we are lucky to enjoy multifarious HDTVs with better quality. However, HDTV also has some drawbacks, like the price may not be acceptable by every family. When it is broken, it may cost more for repairing.

Q:How does your use of cocial media affect your face-to-face interaction with others? Tell both the positive and negative effects.
ReplyDeleteA: The social media doesn't affect my interaction with others. I don't use that much, and I don't like to fix my eyes on the computer screen too often, either. In my poit of view, I can also explain the positive and negative effects from social media. The positive effect is that we can use social media to connect the relationship with the friends who are far from us, and try to gey close with others. The negative effect is that if we use too much social media, we will be shy or quiet when we are face-to-face to others. Therefore, we should keep balance for our time with the real life and the life with social media.

Q:How does your use of social media affect your face-to-face interaction with others? Tell both positive and negative effects.
ReplyDeleteA:The positive effects are that it can information gathering from other people and at the same time we can share the interests. Between the discussion process, I am sure that we will get a lot of fun and may be I Will get more and more friend. Contrast social media also have some negative effect. The biggest problem is that most part of people always waste a lot of time on it. And than the social media changes our attitude toward with others as I face-to-face thaking with them. Because the social media make me used to taking to the computer and I am not focus on the screen may be on the keyboard. when I talk to others will not see their's eye and the expression will be consider impolited or unfriendly. So I think that I should scale back and don't let the negative effects to affect my interpersonal relationship.

Q:
ReplyDeleteHow does Seattle's location contribute to its success?
A:
I think there are two reasons.
The first reason was Seattle had plenty of resources to share. People who living here didn't need spend their time to fight. However, they had much time to created, so creativity could got into Seattle's bloodline.
The other reason was the Mount Rainier. When people saw this
mountain, they realized what they really want. It changed their
priorities in their life.
Up to now, Seattle is a destination and a meeting place for creative people. It have abundance of both artists and geeks.
Q:How does your use of social media affect your face-to-face interaction with others? Tell both positive and negative effect.
ReplyDeleteA:I usually use social media to keep in touch with friends who live abroad. It can make my phonebill more cheaper. For the friend who live around, I use social media to send some eletronic files to them. For me, I think the social media is cheaper and more convenient. Because the social media software is mosthy free, and we can connect to any computer freely. It becomes more popular. But we lose some face-to-face meeting time and become estranged.

How does your use of social media affect your face to face interaction with others? Tell both the positive and negative effect.
ReplyDeleteSocial media makes people closer, the distance between people becomes shorter and shorter. Because of the developing technologies, communication gets easier ,but at the same time , some negative effects comes together, such as checking e-mails frequently, which will effect works and waste time. Spending free time to play games or shopping make me relax, so finding the balance between social media and real life interactions when I’m at during works and free times.

Q ：Explain the author’s use of zebras and lions to illustrate the point of the book.
ReplyDeleteA：The book “Selling to Zebras”, talk to us about how to sell by better method. The author assumes perfect prospects are zebras and the salespeople are lions. The salespeople like lions don’t need to spend more time for other animals. They can spend time on the perfect prospect, the zebras, so we need to identify preys which are the zebras, and spend more energy on the zebras.
Wei-Ting 劉威廷
Social media really comes close to our life. Even I will spend most of my time playing Facebook on the comeputer. Facebook is one of the most famous social medias in the world. If you want to use it, you must find your old friends. Also, you can make mew friends, and that is the most typical usage of facebook. It is also a good way for us to connect our friends whom we have seen for a long time, blut the disadvantage is that we might spend too much time on Facebook and forget our jobs in realife. So we really need to find the balance between the game time and real life.

Q:Do you think something like the Myca Platform will become the standard for medical management? What are its advantages? What are its drawbacks?
ReplyDeleteA:According to the traditional doctor-patient relationship which is one doctor facing a lot of patients, which give the primary-care physicians a heavy pressure. I think if the Myca Platform becomes the standard for medical management,it will change the medical procedures nowaday become more convenient and the use of the medical resources will become more efficient. But it will not only make doctors but also patients to become more convenient. Those who are used to the past medical management may think it's difficult and unfamiliar, but when they get accustomed to the new technology, they will know how handy and time-saving the method is, and it can help us use the medical resources well. Because patients can not always visit the doctors in person, they can do it through the use of the Myca Platform!

How does Seattle's location contribute to its success?
ReplyDeleteThe Seattle style of innovation is humble innovation. The loccals don't flaunk their success. Why that happens here, not elsewhere. It may be beacuse the Mount Rainier which set southeast of city and is the tallest peak in the Cascades. Some people say "always being able to look at something biggger than you is good for tou." When you think everything in control, but as you see that moutain, you realize how trivial you are. It changes your priorities. That is why people have humble innovations and let them succeed.

Q1: How does your use of social media affect your face-to-face interaction with others? Tell both the positive and negative effects.
ReplyDeleteA: The social media has been existing for a long time since I was in juoior high school. It makes communication become more convenient and limitless. No matter where you live, you can chat with others who live in the other country or city. Take me for example, my best friend now is in Singapore, whenever I miss her or I have something special to share with her, I just log in my MSN, and tell her what happened. She also can tell me about her new life. That feeling is like she still beside me. Although social media is so convenient, it also causes some problems, like eroding intimacy and furthering fragment attention spans. Besides, when you sue social media, you must sit down in front of the computer, and that decreases your time of exercise, may let you get fatter and fatter or be unhealthy. So finding balance between social media and real tale is important thing to equipoise internet and real world.

Q2: Why are more and more Americans adopting a gluten-free diet
A: Because there are more and more Americans having been diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder. This disease makes them get headaches, weight losing, and bloating son, and also lead some other problems in their life. So many doctors suggest them who got celiac disease to avoid everything that contained gluten. When they go on gluten-free diet, they not only feel better, but also find benefit of gluten free diet for body. Finally gluten-free diet become a new lifestyle and not just a treatment for Americans.

Q:Do you think something like the Myca Platform will become the standard for medical management? What are its advantages? What are its drawbacks?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion ,the system for medical will become the trend in the future,because it can help doctors manage their time more efficiently.For example,Myca plateform records the patients upcoming appointments or prescription-refill request.In addition,using this system can reduce lots of medical costs.However,I think it still has some drawbacks,because some patients do not describe their conditions very well,and this might mislead the doctor's judgement.
To sum up,I think if it can combine tradintional ways in the future,it will be more complete and better both for the doctors and patients.

Q：How does your use of social media affect your face to face interaction with others? Tell both the positive and negative effects.
ReplyDeleteA：
Computer has become the important part of our daily life. People usually use it to storage information, calculate data and connect with others through the internet. Using the social media to connect with people is a trend in the recent years. It’s very quick and convenient. But it still had some disadvantages. Anxiety and addiction are the common problems. People who use the social media to connect with others always worries that even a temporary distraction from the screen will mean missing crucial updates and in-jokes. Further, it may be too fun to quit it.
Q：Explain the author’s use of zebras and lions to illustrate the point of the book.
A：
The concept of Selling to Zebras is founded on the belief that activity-based sales no longer work. Knocking on every door with equal vigor to sale product is not only ineffective but also expensive. So the author of Selling to Zebras proposes a point that perfect prospects are zebras, and those who chase after deals－from salespeople to CEO’s－are lions. Lions can close 90 percent of business deals from the zebra. By using the tools in this book, lions can identify the right prey, catch it and effectively feed the pride. In other words, according to this book, salesman can increase more profit for company.

How does your use of social media affect your face to face interaction with others? Tell both the positive and negative effects.
ReplyDeleteIn our everyday lives, most of us communicate with others by phonecalls or through the internet.
Concering the positive effects, we become easier and more convenient, because everything is just about clickingon or typing something.
As for negative effects, we forget the feeling of people face to face, or lack a sense of reality.
So sometimes we should get away from the computer and go outside to interact with people in person face to face that will help us balance our truly lives and virtual technology world.
sorry, teacher I forgot this thing.

ReplyDeleteQ: The article attributes Coldplay’s connection with audiences to several factors. What are those? If you have heard Coldplay’s music, What other attributes would you add?
ReplyDeleteA: The article “ Coldplay’s Chris Martin” mentioned that Coldplay, through the passionate connection that Martin makes with audiences. And there are still some other connections such as Martin’s emotionally, obliquely lyrics and their lushly melodic music have been mentioned. Because I have heard Coldplay’s music before I read this article, I totally agree with the author’s opinions, especially the poetic lyrics, it always let me have lots of thought about my life. But I want to add another attribute which is the background music behind the vocal voice. The guitar, bass and drum always attract me fall into Coldplay’s world. Every time I play their album, with the preludes slides out of my ear phone, I feel comfortable. The sound they played is really amazing and makes me feel cured, so I think that may be a connection between Coldplay and myself.
Q: In the world of digital technology with photos going from camera to internet in a matter of seconds, are you more attentive to your appearance? If so, then what do you do now that you didn’t do before? In your opinion, why are people so concerned about their “digital” look?
A: In the world of digital technology, taking pictures seems more easily than before. We can get photos as soon as we press the shoot bottom and see those photos on the computer soon after we are back home. This makes me more attentive to my appearance. For example, I care about the angles from which we get a shot and about what color suits me and can make me more slim. People are concerned about their digital look because there are lots of people surfing the internet and they might see those pictures. After all, all of us just want to look good.

Q:Do you think something like the Myca Platform will become the standard for medical management? What are its advantages? What are its drawbacks?
ReplyDeleteA:I don't think the Myca Platform will become the standard medical management.
In my opinion, the online doctor can not replace the usual way of seeing the doctor in person. It is true that advanced technology have brought us lots of benefits, such as saving time and increasing efficiency. We can get immediate consulation with the help of the new innovation from online doctor. However, the digital application also has some disadvantages like the doctors can't touch the patients in person; meanwhile, the patients may misunderstand the doctors' instructions. Generally speaking, the innovative technology used in the medical care has both positive and negative sides. We can choose the positive side to take the advantage of it and eliminate the negative side to decrease the bad effect.

ReplyDeleteDo you watch a lot of programs filmed in HDTV? If so, what are its improvement over regular TV? What are the drawbacks?
ReplyDeleteYes, I often watch TV programs or videos on HDTV, but the images on HDTV look so clear and crisp. The reason for what makes a pristine picture. HDTV technology provides the highest resolution, more than 1000 scan lines, and the cleanest distribution.
I like to watch ball games in the HDTV, because it can give us a clear view of fierce competition. However, HDTV also has some drawbacks. Since the images look so clear, the wrinkle, freckle, and flaw also become clear on HDTV.

Do you watch a lot of programs filmed in HDTV?
ReplyDeleteIf so, what are its improvement over regular TV?
What are the drawback?
I like watching TV, but I don't know whether it is HDTV.
Standard TVs display about 500 lines, and HDTVs display more scan lines.
and it has highter the resolution and clearer picture.
so HDTV has clear drawbacks, including wreckle, freckle and flow.
How to improve the drawbacks? Makeup is one way about improving ways.
There are two kinks of Makeup:
First, the makeup philosophy for on-camera talent was thick and abutle in the past.
Secend, now maekeup is more subtle and blended.
So makeup is very important for HDTV. It can hide your drawback.
Sorry I am late~~!

How dose your use of social media affect your face-to-face interaction with others? Tell both the positive and negative effects?
ReplyDeleteSocial media does affect my face-to-face interaction. By using social media, I can always connect to person who is far away from me. We can have a little chat online and share life to each other. One of my friends moved to Canada when we were third –grade in elementary school. After that, we always talk online. Although we haven’t seen each other face-to-face for a long time, I still feel familiar with her because of social media. However, there are some negative sides. I start to rely on the computer very much and spend a lot of time on it. I feel it is not necessary to go out. I would rather stay at home and play on the computer. Worst of all, I might feel nothing to say when I see people face-to-face. There are negative and positive effects of using social media. We need to find balance, and let it help us not to become antisocial.

Why are more and more Americans adopting a gluten-free diet?
ReplyDeleteMany people have a gluten intolerance disease, but just like the gluten foods conclude wheat, barley, rye and their make foods, such as pizza and burgers are gluten foods too. So more and more people are paid attention gluten intolerance disease. The disease let more and more people have pain, bloating and digestive issues, so they only can eat gluten-free foods, such as proteins fruits and vegetables. We can think this foods good for us. Although gluten foods let more and more having gluten intolerance people that have in convenience in life, but we can just like Kathy Nichol says” Celiac controls my choices, but it doesn’t control my life.”
Clement 林庭瑋
Why are more and more Americans adopting a gluten-free diet?
ReplyDeleteBecause they find out the biggest reason that caused the illness is gluten in their daily foods. When the patients with celiac disease ingest the foods containing gluten, their body will response and reject them. Their villi in small intestine will be damaged and fail to work effectively. So, the people being allergic to gluten decide to avoid gluten in their daily foods.
And finally, they it did work! Their aliments, bellyaches, illness are all starting to disappear.
It’s tough and life-time work. But considering to get healthier life, they think it’s worthy of doing so.
