God’s Promises

God has given a promise to each and every person, whether in His word or specifically tailored to us individually. According to I John, God is love and God is good, therefore His promises are good and full of love as He is incapable of operating in anything other than love. We know that God’s promises are for us and not against us, as it states in Romans 8:31 that God, Himself, is for us and not against us. Throughout the word, we are shown time after time of God’s faithfulness and the faithfulness of His promises. God’s promises that He has given to each and every person are good, for us, and faithful. The deciding factor in whether we step into these promises is us. How do I talk about God’s promises, what are the words that I let out of my mouth?

Oliver the Inventor

As teachers it is important to know a student, not just their name. In my Childhood Development class, we conducted a case study lasting three months. I looked at the development of a young boy. My participant chose to go by the name Oliver. Oliver is a seven year old boy, who attends public school in the Eugene/Springfield area. In hopes of understanding my participant and his development, I want to answer the question, is Oliver showing healthy development in each of the five domains based on his age? The five domains I looked at were cognitive development, physical development, identity development, social development, and moral development. I used a variety of methods to assess Oliver’s development. The finding suggest Oliver is experiencing healthy development in all the five domains. The study provides recommendations for continued healthy development.

Two Truths and a Lie: Deception Detection Based on Mode of Communication

Lies can often be exchanged through text based communication and face to face communication. The following study was conducted to determine if lies were detected more often through face-to-face or text-based communication and whether not it mattered if the participant knew the researcher well. The first hypothesis was that when the participant does not know the deceiver, deception detection will succeed more often through text-only communication than face-to-face communication. The second hypothesis was that when the participant does know the deceiver well, successful deception detection will be equally likely in face-to-face and text-only communication. Twenty-seven participants from Northwest Christian University participated in a game of Two Truths and a Lie, once face-to-face and once over text message. The results show that there was not a significant difference between face-to-face detection and the text based detection. Also, in either medium, there was a not significant difference in lie detection between participants who knew the researcher well, or did not know the researcher well.

How General Practitioners can Communicate with Patients who have Symptoms of Depression

People across the globe know that depression exists to some extent, but those who do have depression are still afraid to talk about it in public or to their general practitioner. Studies have shown that campaigns can be helpful to an individual if it addresses the problem to the individual’s close family or friends. Once the family or friend see’s the campaign and speaks to the individual while showing their concern, the individual might be moved enough to go see their general practitioner. To be able to help their patient, the general practitioner must be knowledgeable on how to speak to the patient about depression, and how to asses them effectively. The practitioner could ask their patient to take a survey that could help them diagnose the patient’s extent of depression and how to treat it effectively. This paper can help people on both sides of the conversation know how to give a positive feedback about depression.

The most recent Form 990 filled out by the NCAA that is available to the public is their form from 2013. On their Form 990, they recorded revenues at $906,191,666 and expenses at $898,475,381, giving them a final increase in their fund balance of $7,716,285. The NCAA also reported having assets that total $928,316,385 and liabilities that totaled $209,891,757, leaving them with $718,424,628 in net assets. Given that the NCAA is considered a non-profit, it is intriguing that they made almost a billion dollars in 2013.

How You Doin’

A case study was conducted to determine how an elementary aged student is developing in five developmental domains, cognitive, physical, identity, social, and moral development. The individual that took part in this study is Scarlet Maganous, who is currently ten years old attending a local elementary school in Eugene. This case study was conducted in the first three months of fall semester 2015. The methods used for data collection included observations, interviews, and formal assessments. The data collected suggest that Scarlet has healthy development in all five domains. Since she is developing at healthy levels in every domain, there are not any areas that need serious improvement. However, I have created some suggestions in each domain for Scarlet to take into consideration if she wants to continue to maintain positive developmental growth.

Introducing an Oral-learner Based Ministry for the American College Pastor

This project outlines the theological, sociohistorical, and physiological bases for introducing an oral-learner based ministry into the current American college church group paradigm. It is shown in the project that this introduction is essential to the continued health of American college ministries because there is a large constituent of college church group attenders who learn, communicate, and are entertained best through oral methods. After introducing these bases, the author proceeds to examine several considerations when implementing oral-learning techniques into existing college groups. Lastly, the author describes community, reproducibility of a message, learning, discipleship, and preaching all from an oral-learning perspective.

The Revealing of the Infinite

The Revealing of the Infinite, is a brief look at the history, the mystery, and the revealing truths about the concept of infinity, as well as its practical uses. Since the start of mathematics, there has been much debate over the idea of infinity. Initially being too hard to grasp, for centuries it was deemed as being that of an illusion. Something that appeared to be there, but, in reality, was not. As history moved forward, and infinity’s presents remand prevalent in the world of mathematics, vital uses for it began to be discovered and applied, thus, changing the world forever. But, although paramount in applied mathematics, much mystery about its nature still remand unrevealed up until the late 1880’s, where more concepts about it essence were finally discovered. The ideas floating around about infinity during the late 1800’s, were essential in revealing small snap shot of what infinity is like, but it still remains, to this day, not a fully resolved mystery, and yet seems to hold the secrets of the universe inside of it.

Learning abilities have a major impact on memory, which combined, play a dominate role in a child’s development. Different learning abilities can affect memory in typically developing students as well as those with learning disabilities like dyslexia and autism. Dyslexic children have a phonological impairment which affects reading and comprehension, therefore making retaining information challenging. On the other hand, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder have basic memory processes, but show impairment of organizational and complex processes. Research on the interaction of learning abilities and memory are important for understanding typical and atypical development.

Each of these individuals developed compelling arguments for the perspectives in which their narratives take place.
