                                Apps and Mobile Connections for Academic Research
           There are various applications that can be used for researching about different academic information. These applications are installed in different device if they are compatible. Some are downloaded to the mobile phones through the mobile browsers. Mostly, the process involves subscribing to the site. It can either be free or by paying a certain amount of cash. In addition, the iPhones, iPods and the Google play provide additional academic applications.
           The academic applications include those that will provide information covered on the e-book, journal and calculating services. Applications such as AcessMylibray, Safaris book, EBSCO Publishing are user friendly. They provide unlimited access to information in the library e-books. It makes learning easier since it can be used anytime and anywhere. The AcessMylibrary is provided by Gale. In addition, it provides wide range information. This information is relevant for researching and referencing. The Safari book provides access to videos, books and tool for learning from a different publisher in the continent. The EBSCO is an application that enables a person to access reference information.
           The applications that provide access to information in the journal are many. These will give a guideline on specific information that a person might be interested in reading. For instance, ASC provides information on chemical and other scientific data. The arXiv is relevant in researching information about statistics, mathematics, physics and computer science. However, applications such as Realcal, WolframAlpha assist in helping solve calculation problem. They make counting easy.

When he returned to America the first person he saw it was his mother. After that, when they want to go to their home, his mother saw her friend. He heard news about what happened in Nepal about the Maoist attacks and the Royal Nepalese Army’s counterattacks in the Radio. Moreover, when his mother left to the Florida, his friend called him every night. After a few days, he wants to find the job because he wants to stay in America. He wrote in the final section of his resume about “Little Princes Children’s Home, Nepal, Volunteer”. After that, he sent the message to Viva by e-mail because he wants to back to Nepal and he buys the ticket for travel and he put the plan for his travel. He lists his plan steps and he went to Kathmandu. After Kathmandu, he went to Nepal. In addition, he learned a lot of things about Nepal. Conor Grennan traveled to Nepal again after several years and he did not tell the children about his coming. Moreover, He worked in Nepal when the children went to the school.

When Conor Grennan comes to Nepal again, it has already years past. Conor determines to find those seven lost kids, and to give them a safe place called “home”. It is a rather difficult mission for this young American to find seven Nepali kids in an alien country, especially in a country which is suffering from uprising and food shortage. Luckily, Conor is not the only one trying to save those starving kids. Viva, Jacky and Gyan in especial, as well as the other fellows of the Umbrella Foundation, offer him great help during his finding of the seven kids. Liz, a like-minded American girl, also encourages Conor to keep on and shares his bitterness and happiness as an E-pal. All of Conor’s endeavors and efforts finally push the whole thing into a happy trend. Amite and other four boys, five in total of those seven lost kids are continuously found in the other villages. At the end of my reading this time, Conor could eventually take a two hours sweet nap and share a peace moment with these skinny but brave little children. Initially, he was reluctant to volunteer because he was not certain on whether he had any appropriate competence, or the required passion, to be involved with a country which was experiencing civil war. However, he was soon convinced by a number of resilient children who often challenged him and rewarded him more than he would expect (Grennan 137). Conor learnt that those children were not orphans but had been taken by child traffickers who had promised their families to take them to safety because of the war for a big amount of fee. These traffickers would then later abandon these children far from their homes along the Nepal’s capital (Grennan 143).What began as an adventure for Conor, became a commitment to reunite those kids with their families. Conor had grown fond of these kids, but the task of reuniting them with their families wasn’t going to be easy. He had to risk his own life through a journey faced by the dangers of the civil war along the Nepal Mountains. There was a Woman back at Kathmandu who waited for him hoping that he would arrive before the snow could trap him. This woman eventually became his wife (Grennan 148). Little Princes is not only a true story but enjoyable. It shows how much one is capable of doing when faced by extreme problems. Little Princes is quite a hilarious story that reveals how strong faith and love can take us through issues that are beyond our expectation.
Analysis
Conor wrote about some events in the third part of this book. The first part of chapter three shows a story about how he returned from American, and he explained about the feeling when he saw his mother. He heard about the attacks in Nepal in the Radio. After his mother left to Florida, he sent a message to Viva by e-mail telling her that he wants to come back to Nepal. He bought the ticket, and before he went to Nepal he went to Kathmandu. In the second part of chapter three the author shows the events about when he arrived to Nepal it was one year from when he traveled. He found a job in Nepal and started working while the kids were at school. Conor promised to find the seven lost children, and give them a safe home. It seems impossible mission for Conor to find these children in country which is suffering from uprising and food shortage. Conor was lucky, because he wasn’t alone Viva, Jacky and Gyan in especial, as well as the other fellows of the Umbrella Foundation. They were willing to help him to find these children. Liz also supported him to keep searching for these kids. Conor continued to search for the children, from seven children he found five of them. At the end, thios whole mission was not easy while he had to risk his life but he successfully returned the children with their families. While he was in his trip around the mountain there was a woman at Kathmandu who was waiting for him, she was hoping that he arrive before the snow. In the end this woman became his wife

Group 4

Group Four: Questions about Quotations and Paraphrases :
Valerie Mattson, Adam Block, and Sajjad Rabaan

Summary: Quotations and paraphrases are used in writing in order to enhance a point made by the writor with evidence stated by others to support any points made.  Factual information can also be taken away from these quotations; however, it is essential to utilize them correctly.  The infromation below is necessary to prevent plagarism.

Quotations:
1. Direct Quotations: By using quotation marks and parenthetical documentation, one restates what another has already said.
"They must be copied exactly . . .  General rule: 1 direct quote every 3 pages"**

2. Indirect Quotations: Restatement of a though, otherwise known as paraphrasing.

Try to limit the use of quotations. Only use them when they will strongly support an argument. Do not use a quotation if it is common sense. Also, it is important to describe the source of information and the speaker.
*For example, In The Coming of Age, Simone de Beavoir contends that the decrepitude accompanying old age is "in complete conflict with the manly or womanly ideal cherished by the young and fully grown" (65).
As shown in this example, it is okay to also combine paraphrasing in addition to quoting.

If a quotation is less than four lines, enclose them with quotation marks.

If a quotation is more than four lines, use a complete sentence followed by a colon, indent ten spaces, double space the lines, and do not use quotation marks. Do not indent unless it begins a new paragraph.
*An example of a long quotation:
Robert Hastrow sums up the process in the following passage,
where he compares rays of light to a ball thrown up from the earth and
returning because of the pull of gravity:

The tug of that enormous force prevents the ray of light from leaving
the surface of the star; like the ball thrown upward from the earth, they
are pulled back and cannot escape to space. All the light within the star
is now trapped by gravity. From this moment on, the star is invisible. It
is a black hole in space (65).
To clarify a quotation, use square brackets. For example: "They [the doctors] have created a new medicine"

Commas/Period:
If there is a parenthetical reference, place it on the outside. *For example, "Animals have a variety of emotions similar to human's" (Erikson 990). If there is no parenthetical reference, place the period on the inside of the quotation marks. For example, the supervisor said, "There is no excuse for aggressive behavior." Unlike the period, a colon and semicolon go outside the quotation mark.

Use an ellipse in order to leave out part of a quotation. *"in respect for woman . . .  and a bright sunny day"

Use slash marks to seperate lines of poetry. For example, "There was a man from Peru/Who dreamed of eating his shoe"

If the quotation is a question, place the question mark inside of the quotation marks. If the quotation is NOT a question, place the question mark outside of the quotation marks.

Paraphrasing is when the writer uses his or her own interpretation. Use a "free" style when paraphrasing. This is when you borrow the main idea but use say it in a different way. Make sure if the ideas are not common sense, they are cited.

Additionally to losing 2 of her boys, this woman, whereas below the management of a personality's merchandiser, was doing her best to stay seven alternative afraid children alive in her mud hut. Conor’s life has changed in those moments. As he determined to entrust himself to those children’s. once securing spots in associate degree orphanage for all seven and arrangement for a superb native workers to run the limited Princes orphanage, Conor on the loose Asian country, in some unspecified time in the future before revolution erupted in Kathmandu, with the King’s police shooting protestors within the streets.

 
After inward home, Conor received a devastating email coverage that the seven children had disappeared, snatched yet again by identical merchandiser.
