New posts from my Tennis Website

1. I updated a new article about slice backhand in my website. On that post, I write about my experience about backhand slice and when should people use backhand slice. Slice backhand is essential for tennis players and is also a winning strategy. For a two-hand backhand player, backhand slice is more important. For more detail, please visit http://bohenan.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/improve-everyday-slice-backhand/

2. I updated a new post about how to hit the tennis ball with topspin. Topspin has lots of advantages. Topspin makes tennis tall looks like it is going fly far long when it drops back in. Topspin can control the ball more stable and reduce mistakes. For more details and how to use topspin, click the link http://bohenan.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/improve-everyday-top-spin-2/

3. I post article about how to serve in the ‘Tennis Technique’ part. Service is the most important thing in a tennis game; a player cannot win without a good service. In my post, I described 3 basic types of serve and steps of serve. http://bohenan.wordpress.com/tennis-technoloty/

4. I updated my website about how to pick a racket. I suggest people to choose a racket base on the weight and grip size. I also list 5 famous brand of tennis racket. http://bohenan.wordpress.com/players/

Research summary

  Chinese government blocks lots of websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Both Chinese people and people in other countries do not understand the Chinese government’s wired behavior. Why does Chinese government strict censorship system on the internet and block lots of oversea websites? Based on the research I did for project 4 recently, I summarize 3 reasons, which are Chinese government don’t want people to know the truth; The Communist Party need to restrict internet to stable their dominion; Chinese government wants to reduce competition by blocking foreign websites. My first and second viewpoint are most valid because all of the resources especially “Freedom of Expression”,”Google and Internet Control in China”, and “The internet in China”. All of these three academic articles point out that Chinese government use its Great Firewall and strict censorship system to prevent their citizen from knowing the truth. People who interested in my new media genre (website) may also want to know why Chinese government blocked websites, and people in China cannot go through my website because of the Great Firewall. I think my audience can respond this problem by giving suggestions to Chinese government and come up with some great ideas to reform a better internet environment.

Plagiarism and citation

Information from outside sources should be used in a paraphrase or summarizing version. If students want to use the original information, they should put quotation marks on the information. Also, when people makes paraphrase or summarizing, they should cite it, and quote the words, ideas, sentences, phrases that taken from the original resources.

Plagiarism is like using other people’s people as yours, submitting the same paper for two different classes, using others’ ideas and words as your own, or doing paraphrase and summarizing without cite the sources.

Using someone else’s ideas as a source is doing citation when paraphrase and summarizing, and using quotation marks when using other people’s ideas and words.

Some ways to tell the difference between plagiarism and citation are that plagiarism directly use other people’s ideas and words without quotation while citation will use paraphrase or summarize and quote the key words or the author’s ideas.

Rhetoric

[bohena-blog]

lgblackboard:

‘If you want to persuade, forget logic, learn rhetoric!’

Do you think this, regardless of whether it is actually true but because it is believed, has inspired the rise of a class of people, namely politicians, who focus on and learn the skills of rhetoric and mostly ignore logic and argument? If you agree with this, then the question arises of whose fault it is.

Is it the politicians’ fault for manipulating the populace with fear, emotion, fallacies and other rhetoric devices and ignoring logical argument for the easier, irrational alternative, or is it our fault for letting ourselves be persuaded by these things and not being rigorous in our analysis of what these people say, and devoting enough of our time to understanding, in a clear logical way, the issues that affect us every day? Are politicians manipulative, or simply pragmatic? Certainly anyone trying exclusively to use logical argument to win support would not get far, while their opponents relying on rhetorical devices and good speaking techniques would sail ahead of them, gobbling up votes. Should we blame politicians for doing this, when it is apparently the only thing that works to be successful in a democratic system?

C.R.A.P Design of My Website

I think the CRAP is really helpful and help me understand the tricks of web design. I scan lots of websites every day, and some websites make me comfortable while others do not. I had never think deeply why this happen. The CRAP summarizes the main tricks of web design, and it is very helpful for me to organize my own websites. Below is the CRAP that I want to use in my website.

Contrast: In my website, I think I will use color contrast and front-shape contrast. In color, I want to use green and yellow because these two colors represent the color of tennis. In front and shape, I will use different front size and color to show the reader my website’s topic.  I think these elements should have a low contrast because I want my whole layout to be simple.

Repetition: I want to repeat an icon of tennis or a racket as the background picture of every page. The icon is a kind of grey color which does not annoy reading. The grey background image can represent my website and makes it more uniform.

Alignment:  I want all the text and titles left aligned. Lots of websites use left aligned, and I think left align is really a good alignment because it can makes the structure of my website simple and straightforward

Proximity: I prefer that similar stuff stay together. By putting similar things together can makes reader easily find what they want and makes the websites clearly at the same time.

Miscellaneous:  I will create a part of forum in my website where readers can leave message and exchange their experience. It will just like the forums in our wra website, which people can leave commons without log in.

My experience of copyright

In China, lots of people do not think copyright is a big deal, pirate is very common. People can download free mp3 from the websites and watching feel movie online. Students do not need to quote when they are writing papers. We all use computers and we know the most famous system- windows XP. The price of Windows XP is more than one thousand RMB, which is very expensive. However in China, people can just buy the pirate Windows XP with just 5 RMB, which is less than one dollar. When a singer or a writer publishes his album or books, the pirate album or books will soon appear on the websites, and that is really bad for the creators. I think Chinese government should be aware of the importance of copyright to protect the right of the creators.

The important of collaborative negotation

Negotiation is a method people communicate with each other to reach agreement. Nowadays collaboration is very important, and everyone can not just live by himself. Collaborative negotiation can make sure both parties have benefits. The key points of collaboration are separating issues and people; Focusing on interests instead of positions; Thinking of options benefit both parties. Because we meet with different people every day, we should be familiar with negotiation, and manipulate it to resolve problems without damaging other people.
