Fruit Bats

Lin Onus has created this art sculpture in Arnhem Land in 1991 and has used several materials. The hanging bats who represent the Aboriginal culture are made of fiberglass and are decorated with crosshatching, and the hills hoist who represent the European culture is just the clothes line, as for the bat's dropping are made out of wooden disks and are decorated with flower like dots. I choose this artwork because it has a very interesting meaning the meaning of this sculptor is the life of the two different culture the aboriginal and the European culture and how they lived or had to live together. I like how the artists created the bats look different from one another and the used different style patterns of their winds which create them different which mean that not every human been are the same.

The use of twitter in academic studies


Twitter can be used in education, it is a great way to give feedback and further advice on others work or if they are debating about a particular topic. It is a great way to share ideas between students and teachers can check there discussions and provide any help and tell a student if they are doing good or bad.

Twitter can be used in business too. Business people and many companies have some sort of events that they might want everyone to know about so by using twitter it is easier to share events and invites to the general public.

People use the hashtag symbol (#) before a relevant keyword or phrase in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets and help them show more easily in Twitter search. They can click or tap on a hash tagged word in any message to shows other Tweets that include that hashtag with are posted by other people.

Reflection on use of email in academic study



There are several important email protocol features to be used in academic studying. As academic writers we should include a subject line in an email to give the reader an idea of what the email is about, a subject line is a place where we write what is going to be in the email. The information should always be informative and short because the information should be written in the message box for more details, it is more respective to use the appropriate address such as Mr or Mrs. It is better to use the blind copy if to send an email to a group of people/students to protect their personal information, the emails of these people should be hidden and safe for security purposes. The sender should include headers for the topic and footers for dates and names, they should both be in the right form. It is very important to know how to secure email accounts, the email user should use a password that is hard for anyone other than themselves to know and they should also change their email passwords regularly for more safety. Therefor there is a two step verification feature to help email users to have more security on their email accounts. All features of email protocol are important for the safety and security purposes.
