Politically, Somaliland has a multi-party democratic system with separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. Ongoing border disputes with neighboring regions and Somalia's opposition to recognition pose challenges to Somaliland's sovereignty claims.
PPT 7 SAMPLING.ppt sampling an dsampling techniquesBayissaBekele
The document discusses sampling methods for research. It defines population and sample, and explains that sampling is used to make conclusions about larger populations. Probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, stratified sampling and cluster sampling aim to give all population members an equal chance of selection. Non-probability methods like convenience sampling and purposive sampling rely on researcher judgment. Both probability and non-probability methods are discussed in detail in the document.
Here is a 193-word response to the question:
In my view, the interactionist theory of L1 acquisition makes the most sense. As an observer of young children learning language, I've seen evidence that supports aspects of all three theories. Children do learn vocabulary and sounds through imitation and reinforcement, as behaviorists suggest. But they also display an innate ability to recognize patterns and apply grammatical rules creatively, supporting nativist ideas.
Most convincingly, though, children learn most effectively through social interaction with caregivers. They learn new words by interacting with objects in context. And they make rapid progress in combining words once they start two-way conversations. This supports the interactionist view that language develops through the interplay
freud's psychoanlytic theory matters all the timersBayissaBekele
Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalytic theory, which emphasized biological drives like the libido and psychic energy organized into the id, ego, and superego. Freud believed that early childhood experiences, especially from ages 0-5, shaped personality development through universal stages like oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. While based on a small sample and lacking empirical support, Freud's psychoanalytic theory set the agenda for understanding human nature and spurred new emphasis on children's needs through his talking cure of psychoanalysis, having major and lasting impact in the United States where he became a cultural icon.

Constructivism is an educational theory that emphasizes the learner constructing knowledge based on previous experiences. It views learning as assimilating new information into existing mental frameworks. According to constructivism, the teacher acts as a facilitator and students learn by relating new concepts to their own experiences. Jean Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development in which children create "mental maps" to understand the world. Lev Vygotsky added that social and cultural influences also impact learning. Modern constructivism, influenced by Jerome Bruner, incorporates both cognitive and social aspects. It advocates engaging students through exploration and hands-on learning before explaining concepts to facilitate new understandings.

Chunking and pausing are important tools for both presenters and listeners. Presenters should divide their speech into chunks using pauses to introduce new topics or sections. Pausing at the end of one section and before starting the next allows listeners to process the information and prepare for what is coming next. Without chunking and pausing, listeners can feel overwhelmed and lost, making it difficult for them to follow the presentation.
Persuasive writing aims to convince readers of a position through logical arguments. It follows a standard format including an introduction with a hook and thesis statement outlining three main points, three body paragraphs elaborating on each point, consideration of an alternative perspective, and a conclusion restating the thesis. Strong persuasive writing relies on facts, examples, and addressing counterarguments to make a compelling case for the writer's viewpoint.

The document offers tips for breaking down large writing projects and provides a list of resources for additional writing support and style guides.
The document discusses plagiarism and how to avoid it. Plagiarism is using another person's ideas without giving them credit. While copying text from the internet is easy, tools exist to check for plagiarism. To avoid plagiarism, you must cite sources when using others' ideas, facts, quotes, or paraphrases. The document recommends stating your own ideas first before incorporating sources, using quotation marks for word-for-word quotes, paraphrasing in your own words, and always giving credit to authors.

“We’d gone a quarter mile
down the trail when we ran
into a man walking the wrong

who hadn’t made it, who’d
quit right there at
the start.”

It sounds clichéd
But at times like this,
I miss my dad.
I mean,
I don’t remember him –
he died of cancer when I was three.
Pictures
are all that’s left.
My favorite one is
us sitting on a bench, eating ice cream.
Our knees are knobby the same way,
we’re both grinning like hyenas,
he’s pointing at the camera.
I haven’t had a dad in twelve years.
Most of the time,
that’s okay.
But today,
right now,
I’d like a hug.
From him. Shark Girl, Kelly Bingham

33. Indifferent
Flicker
A maid cleans.
A crew cuts the lawn.
Even the groceries get delivered.
Jordan’s dad is home, for once,
but he barely lifts his head
from his laptop to meet me.
His eyes
flicker in surprise,
but he slams
his attention back to the screen
and coughs to dismiss us.
