...«The Wedge-tailed eagle», G.Dutton. Analysis by A. Romanov The text under interpretation belongs to the pen of the prominent Australian author and historian - Geoffrey Dutton. During his career, Dutton wrote over 200 books, including poetry, fiction, biographies, critical essays etc. The episode under analysis is taken out from a short story «The wedge-tailed eagle» which contains a very deep social and psychological message and the subject of which is unfortunately drawn from life. In the story which begins so peacefully and signifies no threaten the author exposes the evils of the whole society and in two pilots reveals all cruelty that can only exist in our world. Geoffrey Dutton brings to the light one day from the life of these pilots and depicts the event that makes the reader cry – the killing of one of the most gorgeous and powerful bird - wedge-tailed eagle. The main idea of the story is to demonstrate people`s shallowness, cruelty and a constant desire to satisfy their wishes no matter how high the price for it is. If a person like one of these two pilots wants something nothing would be able to stop him, even if the desire is unmoral and sinful and even if it ends with death of creatures that can`t protect itself against our savageness and violence. The tone of the text is different at the beginning of the extract and at the end of it. Firstly we are completely plunged in the elevated atmosphere, where in small details the depiction of sky and nature is magnificent...

...Mathematical Writing by Donald E. Knuth, Tracy Larrabee, and Paul M. Roberts This report is based on a course of the same name given at Stanford University during autumn quarter, 1987. Here’s the catalog description: CS 209. Mathematical Writing—Issues of technical writing and the effective presentation of mathematics and computer science. Preparation of theses, papers, books, and “literate” computer programs. A term paper on a topic of your choice; this paper may be used for credit in another course. The first three lectures were a “minicourse” that summarized the basics. About two hundred people attended those three sessions, which were devoted primarily to a discussion of the points in §1 of this report. An exercise (§2) and a suggested solution (§3) were also part of the minicourse. The remaining 28 lectures covered these and other issues in depth. We saw many examples of “before” and “after” from manuscripts in progress. We learned how to avoid excessive subscripts and superscripts. We discussed the documentation of algorithms, computer programs, and user manuals. We considered the process of refereeing and editing. We studied how to make effective diagrams and tables, and how to find appropriate quotations to spice up a text. Some of the material duplicated some of what would be discussed in writing classes offered by the English department, but the vast majority of the lectures were devoted to issues that are specific to mathematics and/or computer science. Guest lectures by...

... Personal Thinking Styles As a result of taking The Life Styles Inventory I have found that my two primary personal thinking styles fell into the groups of achievement and self-actualizing. In these groups I received my highest scores of 95%. Achievement, the first category, says a lot about what drives me in my personal life as well as my working life. I have always been driven to succeed in my endeavors. I didn`t actually realize this potential in myself until after high school. Up until that point I was satisfied to just do what was expected of me. When I got my first job at eighteen years old, I found that this was just not going to be good enough. I spent three years in a machine shop trying to progress into management type positions. This life however was not for me. I soon decided that I could make more money creating and running my own business. My business was interior home remodeling and for twenty four years I set the bar high and achieved all of my goals. At the age of forty six I decided that I had done everything I could with this career and the economy was no longer favoring this field, so I sold my business and went to college. Last year in 2010, I earned my Bachelors in Technical Management with a focus on Networking. Self-actualizing, the second category that I rated a 95% in, I feel describes me well too. In my past and present endeavors I have exhibited a strong sense of...

Mike is confident about the analysis we did of our strategy and says all we have to do is “put the pieces together before the final presentation.” ("Mgmt690-1404b-05 strategic management,") Tiffany says “We do have solid information, but we have to look at all the parts to see if we can remain competitive.” ("Mgmt690-1404b-05 strategic management,") First, “What are the considerations that you need to be aware of to remain competitive?” ("Mgmt690-1404b-05 strategic management,") Second, “based on the research that we have done, can we compete in the market that we have chosen? Why or why not?” ("Mgmt690-1404b-05 strategic management,") Thirdly, “what primary factors let us to this decision?” ("Mgmt690-1404b-05 strategic management,") Fourthly, “what would we say to someone who would dispute our position?” ("Mgmt690-1404b-05 strategic management,") And lastly, “how do we plan on evaluation the global marketplace in the future?” ("Mgmt690-1404b-05 strategic management,") ("Mgmt690-1404b-05: Strategic, the Problem ") Cultural Considerations in Business Phase 4 Individual Project Considerations To be able to remain competitive in any market a company needs to use analysis tools like SWOT.

... Introduction In writing this second leadership analysis I will examine the Relational Skills Audit, the Task Skills Audit, the Leadership Style Audit, Church Structure, the Leader’s/ Church’s Core Values Audit, the Ministry Circumstances Audit, and the Pastor-Organization Fit. Leadership is a challenge that must be approached with much preparation, skill, and care. If the leader takes a half hearted attitude of the deep responsibilities that come with all facets of Christian leadership, people can be wounded and Christ’s church diminished in it’s ability to reach the world. It has been said that every assignment in Christian leadership is a divine calling. If indeed this is true then we must ask ourselves the following questions: 1. What difference will I make? 2. Why am I here? 3. Who sent me? 4. Is this assignment sacred because God placed me here? 5. What does God want me to accomplish here? [1] As we work through the different audits found in Aubrey Malphurs,” Being Leaders,” we will look at the outcomes of each audit and how each one relates to myself personally. My objective will be to expound on each characteristic and how I fit or perform in the context of the information listed. James D. Whitehead wrote,” Whatever responsibilities, we are guest authorities, serving for a time, at the pleasure of our Lord, with persons and projects we do not own.”[2] This is a lesson all too often learned on the job and too...

...Rationality as Passion Lydia Amir 'I … profess to understand nothing but matters of love.' Socrates in Plato’s Symposium. times, when due to their education and to political changes, women earned the right to love and to be loved as equals to men. When one dispels these misunderstandings related to the popular notion of Platonic love, one finds a great richness and depth in Plato’s theory of love. In explaining why love is so important to us and yet why it fails us so often, Plato’s view of love seems applicable to our time. It is common knowledge that a very high rate of divorce threatens our marriages. We expect a lot from the sexual passion we call love, but usually end up disappointed when the romance goes away. Yet we keep getting married, thinking that we are going to be the ones that will beat the system. If we fail, we change our partner and try again. We end up our love life as we began it, confused, afraid and as disappointed as we were hopeful. The malaise that characterises our love lives naturally finds its way to the philosophical consulting room. In this paper I shall attempt to show how Plato’s view of love can be helpful both in dispelling our confusion about love and in proposing some solutions to our suffering. A comprehensive account of Plato’s complex theory of love, an exhaustive presentation of the controversies involved in interpreting it or a thorough discussion of the problems it creates, are all beyond the scope of this paper. What one may hope to do is...

Henry Demarest wrote an article called “wealth against commonwealth” in 1894 This article was written with the intention of showing what was really happening in the world of the monopolies during the gilded age. The author probably was motivated by what he was watching; the inequality between the rich and the poor, too many were poor and just a few were extremely rich. He described the wealth as some kind of infection, He thought that we were losing the liberty that we earned by falling into corruption trying to be wealth. Demarest mentioned that many rules were established to avoid the acts of corruption by the monopolies leaders, but they had not too much success an all remained the same. According to henry Demarest who said “if our civilization is destroyed , it will not be by, barbarians from below” (50) to refer that these...

...* Thomas A. Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines that live off of the humans' body heat and electrochemical energy and who imprison their minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the agents: super-powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and the entire human rebellion. The telephone call initiated by Morpheus prompts the police to visit Mr. Anderson’s home with the offer of deliverance and the awakening. Morpheus is known to the government as a legendary computer hacker and a terrorist. Morpheus meets up with Mr. Anderson and offers him a choice of a blue pill or a red pill. The choice that is offered will afford Mr. Anderson to either wake up in a world beyond his imagination or to continue to exist in his current state existence. The “real world” * 2.
