The 21 Best Plates of Pancakes in America

By: Dan Gentile Credit: Erin Jackson/Thrillist Few breakfast items transcend the sum of their parts quite like the humble pancake. Through some magical feat of morning alchemy, the simple combination of eggs, powder, and sugar creates a steaming platter that’s both fluffy and crispy, sweet and savory

This is making a claim that these 21 restaurants offer the best plate of pancakes in America, however there is simply no way of proving this unless they visited every single place in America that sells pancakes which is highly unlikely (however if that becomes a job, sign me up). And even so, the claim that these are the 21 best plates of pancakes in the country is highly subjective and therefore offers no real merit. Obviously, the best plate of pancakes is found at my house..when my little brother makes them for me. :D

Disastrous flooding and landslides in north-east Japan caused by torrential rainfall last month forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, and the death of eight persons and 46 injured. A total of 18,882 dwellings have been confirmed flooded and 16 dwellings have been destroyed and another 102 have structural damage. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the rainfall was unprecedented for that part of Japan.

The post Torrential downpours in Japan appeared first on Tempo - News in a Flash.

I believe Content Analysis was used here due to the quanta give data presented such as “a total of 18,882” and so on……Tiffany Cruz

Hi Tiffany, thanks for posting! This brings up a great point! So, to clarify content analyses are usually of messages or behaviors. Though they had to count how many houses were destroyed, the systematic counting here not of messages or people. Generally this topic is not pursued by comm scholars! I have similar feedback for your other post! - Nicole!

The heroin epidemic is very real across the suburban U.S. Can this video game-like software help save lives? 

[feelincommat8-blog]

Hi Kelly! So I took a look into the article and there are quite a few claims made here! I thought I'd first clarify that the work of the CDC is often not on communication topics though the work they do is also descriptive. However at the end of this article they discuss how they used a survey to assess if the heroin prevention program was helpful! This is in fact a survey but it could also be an experiment, if they added a control group and random assignment! Thanks for this great article as well! :)

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WORD CAN MAKE: HOW A SINGLE WORD CAN CHANGE YOUR CONVERSATION

Psychologist Elizabeth Stokoe has provided the important patterns and research showing just how vital it is to interact more effectively. Our daily conversations and languages have a big influence and impact that shapes our lives profoundly. 

The article provides research and evidence that how conversations can be conducted by the different words we choose to start each conversations with and how the conversation will progress. 

Conversation can lead to many different types of emotions, depending on how each conversation progress, from words, languages, and direction in the conversation. 

Stokoe’s research and analyzes are very interesting as she studies hundreds of calls between neighbors, partners, friends, clients, mediators, etc. Stokoe explains the different conversations and questions such as police officers for example. Stokoe’s technique of CARM (Conversation Analytic Role-play Method) is an interesting insight to understand and practice.

Welcome to our Tumblr, our virtual world to share our thoughts, gifs, clips and pretty much anything we can relate to the concepts we’re discovering in this course.
