...Ms. Anne Cox English 062 11 February 2014 One great quality in a person One great quality that my mom possesses is caring. A person that is caring towards others and does it to better improve another’s life would be described as a caring person. Caring would be the one quality I would describe my mom with out of all the others she possesses. She is always there for my family and I. every day she has to wake up early and get breakfast ready for my brother and sister before they go to school. Every day she takes care of the housework and makes sure that we all have what we need for school. She has a small business where she sales clothing in order to provide for our family and pay for utilities. At times where we can’t help around the house she is more determined to finish all the chores that need to be done. It is her caring that impresses me along with her determination to continue doing it all over again on a daily basis. All these little things she does them because she cares a lot about our family her caring in a way motivates everyone at home to meet their goals and get things done. It is because of her that I have made it this far in college she did this because she cared for me throughout my whole life. My mom is that one person that will always care for us and won’t stop caring. All these things she does them because she wants to do them not because she has to. She takes the time to think about her family and does all sorts of small little things to help us out. It...

...The World Ending in 24 Hours An extremely loud sounding siren is going off and nobody knows why. Therefore we turned on the news to realize that there is a massive asteroid heading for earth and will hit us in 24 hours from now. As soon as everyone heres the news panic and screaming erupts. Many are crying or just simply sitting in shock of what is happening. As soon as I here the news I gather with my family. I would start by going out to a nice breakfast with everyone and talk about the good times we've all had. We also would forgive one another if we ever put someone through a hard time. After breakfast we would do things that we had put off before, such as going to church. We would all pray to god to forgive our sins and hope for a peaceful afterlife. After church I would then contact the rest of my friends and family to thank you for all the things they have done for me and the kindness they have shown me. After contacting everyone I possibly could, I’d take my family out to the best and most expensive restaurant around. I would tell each person how much they mean to me and how important they were to me in my life. After dinner I would take my family outside to look up at the stars to enjoy a beautiful view before the end. When the asteroid was in sight we all just hugged, shut our eyes and waited in...

...Crista Alejandra Rodriguez Piche ENG 120: Dr. Kwa Essay #1 The Fear of Oblivion: Mary Cantwell's mixed feelings against her fear of moving on Mary Cantwell had an incredibly fortunate childhood, full of love and support, but mostly a great family. She describes her home as a place filled with family, love and traditions created by themselves, and besides being her home, it became her fortress but also became her own confinement place, making her a memory dependent women and scared of the outside world. Now, after 77 years in her family, the house is being sold, giving Mary the opportunity to move on. As Mary Cantwell grew older, she could have use all those special memories with her family that remained in her heart, to build a new one, instead of letting them stuck her in the past, making her stumble in life. Growing up as blessed as Mary did, with love and support, can be the most satisfying experience, Cantwell writes "Home was where members of my family, some of whom were long gone, were forever baking apple pies, smoking pipes while patting the dog, reading The Providence Evening Bulletin and crocheting elaborate bedspreads.", since not everyone is so fortunate to have the life, and especially the childhood Mary had, additionally with the family she describes, Mary could take its own definition of 'home', and apply it with her husband and children, and show them that all things are temporary and that the family is forever, as Cantwell writes “after our morning dip our...

...My name is Grizz Bear. I am covered with dark brown hair, I have four large paws, a wet nose on the end of my snout, and hazelnut colored eyes. I live in the Yellowstone national park near a riverside in a cave. I spent most of my time in my cave, coming out only when I am hungry because I am too lazy to do anything. If I didn’t have to eat, I would sleep for days. One day, I felt especially hungry, so I came out of my den to search and hunt for food specifically salmon. I ran to the river to catch some fish. Standing upright by the side of the river, I took a long hard stare into the water. Soon enough, I saw a fish and it was hunting time .I jumped on the fish, and caught it. But then, I thought, “This is too small a fish to fill my stomach and it is not even salmon. I must catch a bigger fish that is salmon.” So, I let the small cat fish free into the water and waited for some time, till I caught another fish. This time too the fish was small, but it was salmon. I thought to myself, it looked so big in the water but this small fish would not fill my plump belly. The fish flew out of my hands and struggled for its breath in the water....

...on 28th of September by Michael Marks and tom Spencer, the offer the combination of both clothes and food shopping in one store which was one of the very few stores to do so. I think M&S’s main sources of threat are from large stores that sell clothes and/or foods such as Waitrose or Debenhams, even though they do not sell the option of both foods and clothes, they are still very well known and share the same market as M&S does, decreasing M&S’s market share. The company being a PLC means that it has a lot of shareholders, which makes it have more stakeholders than a private limited company would, M&S would want to be a PLC because the money spent by the public on shares will add to their revenue and help the company to grow quicker. There are advantages and disadvantages to this as every sector will have. Advantages of a Public Limited Company are; * The shareholders have limited liability, so if M&S ever lost a great amount of money the shareholders wouldn’t have to put this right out of their own pocket. * A company can raise additional capital by selling more shares, this is good for M&S as raising their capital can help their company grow quicker and will increaser their market share. * Shareholders can sell their shares freely Disadvantages include; There is a loss of overall ownership, meaning M&S don’t have one owner who has final...

...Walking the Talk: an Article for Critical Eye Archie Norman, the former CEO and Chair of the supermarket chain ASDA, left a haunting image when he spoke at a conference last week. He compared the store visits he engineered with those of ASDA's previous CEO. In the latter, a fleet of large cars would arrive at the Supermarket door and out would step 5, 6 or more senior executives. The store manager would be waiting patiently at the door. Hands would be shaken and the entourage would sweep down the aisles of the store. 'Hi, what do you do? You enjoy working here?' and then off to the next visit with a passing: 'tidy up that main display' to the manager on the way out. By contrast, Archie would go alone, park in the far corner of the car park, leaving the near spaces to shoppers who were spending money. He left his jacket in the car and walked unannounced into the store. He'd chat to customers: 'what do you like?', 'what could we do better?', 'thanks for shopping here' and to the staff: 'What's the best thing about working here? And the worst?' and finally he would talk to the manager, maybe over a coffee in the canteen. 'What can I do to make your life easier?' 'How's business?' A final walk round the store, maybe with the manger, then off to the car park to write any action notes to himself before setting off for the next visit. The point was not about the need to 'press the flesh' or be visible: it was how you got a realistic picture of what was going on and actually do...

As well, this report has been peer reviewed multiple times and in order for a report to actually be credible it needs to be reviewed a few times. In regards to the timeliness of the paper, it was published within the last one and a half years, this also adds to the credibility of the paper. Selee, Andrew. "A Changing Mexico."

...Television News Program Analysis COM/310 July 15th, 2014 The following paper evaluates and analyzes a news story broadcast by three different networks on January 28, 2012, that became one of the first world disasters that made me start to rethink my view of the media and their biases and responsibilities to their community. How the story was covered, presented, and ultimately how the programs affected my personal values will be discussed. The three news networks chosen for this paper are BBC, CBS, and CNN. A Costa Concordia cruise ship capsized near Giglio, Italy on January 13, 2012. Today, January 28th, divers continue to seek out missing passengers, charges are being filed against the ship’s captain, and lawsuits on behalf of passengers and crew are mounting.

Youth street crime due to exclusion from society. [Online]. Available from; http://knifecrime.blogspot.co.uk [Accessed on 29 October 2013]. To conduct my search on knife crime, I began looking at online resources and news stories surrounding the subject. One issue I found with this research was that even though I narrowed the search from crime, to Knife crime it was still a very broad subject to gather research on. There were news stories of knife crime all over the country. I may have been able to increase the quality of research if I had narrowed it down to knife crime in the South West for example, or knife crime in Bristol to be more specific. Another issue that arose during ‘Knife Crime’ research was the lack of academic journals and even books on the subject. The majority of resources of information were from online newspaper articles such as the BBC, of which there were bountiful supplies. Also a lot of the online news story video...

...Television Despite the development of the Internet, television is still one of the most important sources of information. It plays such a significant role in people’s everyday lives that it’s almost impossible to imagine how we would live if there were no TV. One can argue that for many people television is no longer the main source they get the latest news from but it is practically impossible, however, to find a family that doesn’t have a television. We certainly don’t gather around the television any more as our parents used to every evening in the 70-90s to watch a new fabulous film or discuss the latest news. There are a lot of advantages making television so popular. The main reason why so many people choose this means of getting information and entertainment is its simplicity and convenience. All you have to do is to press a button and sink comfortably into a chair. The main problem of television is that little by little we become dependent on TV. It’s lucky that more and more people are beginning to go in for sports these days. Sports usually take us a great deal of time, so we become less dependent on TV. Now let’s speak about different kinds of people working on television and qualities these people should have. It’s still quite difficult to appear on television without the following qualities: intelligence, talent, beauty, leadership qualities and energy. It’s far more interesting to listen to a football report full of energy than to “a peaceful story” a commentator...

...avoids second hand smoking? Presenter: Charles Carol Source: BBC News online, March 5th 2014 As a parent I really cannot avoid my child to be exposed to second hand smoking because it is in the air. What I would do is educate them about the negative effects smoking causes and tell them to try to avoid smoke filled areas as much as possible. As a parent I can only try to avoid the amount of smoke exposure as possible but second hand smoke cannot really be avoided. This question was an okay one but unrealistic. It really wasn't an important question to me because it was noway realistic in my opinion. I would give the presenter a B for effort an presentation. Question 2: Do you agree with VAT tax why or why not? Presenter: Ava Turnquest Source: Tribune Online Feb,24 2012 I don't agree with the VAT because it is not clear on who and what will be taxed. Not only is it unclear but based on reports from other countries such as Barbados, the VAT has made their economy poorer. The standard of living has dropped and the middle class was eliminated. I think that it should be looked at more carefully before its is implemented in my country. This question was an important and realistic one. It made me think of me and my country's well being. I would give the presenter and A. Question 3: Does a country have the right to refuse openly gay visitors to its shores?
