...efraim We hate to ask this, but where do we draw the line from the wanting to watch anime to needing to watch it. Our personal take on anime is we watch what we enjoy. And we truly like anime. But we keep thinking we should stop watching because it is childish. We purchase anime on rare occasions, and watch anime maybe once a week. Recently we have been watched a lot more anime than we should often since we found online site for anime. We’ve guess what we am saying is most of my friends and family "don't get the anime thing". Therefore, we end up watching anime on my own feeling something like a social outcast. Socially we am busy being as we am out of college, in a very exhausting job, trying to find time to date, into sports, looking into grad school, etc. we know there are others out there thinking the same thing. So what is your takes on this. Does anime become a social dysfunction? Portraying anime as a cultural thing can only go so far...I guess what they saying are "doing get the anime influenced". Therefore, we should end up watching anime on our own feeling something like a social outcast. Socially we are busy being as we am out of college, in a very exhausting job, trying to find time to date, into sports, looking into grad school, etc. Seems to that you’re only a casual anime fan, so were good. As long as we have a life that extends beyond anime, don't worry. When you start using Japanese words in daily conversation, sit at a computer all night...

...Childhood fears have always haunted our minds as kids. From the more classical boogie man in the closet, to the more present day Hollywood horror movies. My childhood fear at the time unfortunately was scary movies, heights, and being afraid of the dark. As a young child, mainly around the age of 4 to 7 years old, screams and loud stressful noises wasn’t generally my favorite amusement. I rather settle my small completive mind to action figures and video games than being scared so bad I would piss me pants. Everyday my older sisters would come home from high school, mouths over whelmed with gossip and in a not so gentle mood, would snatch the remote from my hand as if my age held no authority to them. Young and very much helpless, I sat aside curious to what sixteen year old drama queens particularly watch. My oldest sister Melissa, channel surfs and stops on a dreadful theme song followed, by the title of the show in greenish texture. I remained seated wondering what would happen next. The show started off normal and eventually became more clear and horrifying. Having watched the show, sleeping wasn’t so easy, but as months pasted, I conquered my fear of horror films and progressed on. Growing up at the age of 8 had its own fashionable trend, when it came to who was your favorite super hero. In my custom made all blue pajamas and a red towel tied around my neck, I’d extended my arms and ran through the house with not a care in the world. Paranoid at the motor boat sounds...

As a personal consumer, my decision to buy this unit was strongly influenced salesman's marketing pitch. One of the most notable features was the unit's location - hidden away in our garage, unseen by all, and even mobile if we ever decided to move to a new house. The price also played a large role in our purchase. We just purchased the house, and the unit came with a discount for all new homebuyers. The second product would be our newly aquired Roku boxes. We purchased two boxes - one for our living room and one for our master bedroom. We wanted to cut down on bills. So, we dropped our ATT U-Verse cable account and started with the Roku boxes. This allows us to stream our wirelessinternet to these boxes and watch all of our shows. It is similar to the Apple Box. The Roku streams our favorite shows, with the simple purchases of monthly Netflix and HuluPlus accounts. We can now keep up with our favorite shows and television for a fraction of the cost - 1/5 of the cost a month, to be exact.

...Savannah 12 November 2013 Is Killer Really the Right Word? “1961 first orca is captured and taken to the Marineland of the Pacific Park in Los Angeles. She dies a day later after repeatedly swimming around her pool at high speed and ramming into the sides” (Smith). Killer whales are a very large and powerful animal like any other wild animal, they can be unpredictable. Killer whales are beautiful creatures. The experience of seeing a killer whale for the first time is breath taking. My grandparents took me to SeaWorld in Orlando was I was 8, and after seeing a killer whale I was hooked. After going back many times it influenced me to want to become a whale trainer. As years have gone on I have learned killer whales in SeaWorld means they are in captivity. Why are these amazing animals spending their whole lives in a small swimming pool? Killer whales have been taken out of their habitats and put into captivity for research to be done on these amazing animals. An associate director of the Environmental Group Earth Island Institute Mark Berman says trying to incarcerate an animal as large as a killer whale or an animal with a large brain it’s proven it does not work (Pete). These killer whales need the freedom to travel wherever they’d like, not to have a routine day after day for the whole lives. The killer whales swimming in pools of aquariums builds frustration and aggression. Lori Marino is a neuroscientists says when whales in captivity are thrown with other whales that...

...Hayden Raulerson Dr. Marshall ENC 1102 21 September 2014 Hero of the Underground Essay Jason Peter is a player that the University of Nebraska should be proud of. Jason Peter was a great athlete for them and, he showed his perseverance to break his drug addiction. For these things why would Nebraska not be proud of Jason? Jason Peter deserves the respect and acknowledgement from Nebraska. A main reason they should be proud of Jason is, because he is an outstanding athlete and contributed too many wins at Nebraska .Any person that helps win football games has to be respected. According the Kirk Herbstreit, “the Huskers are aiming for their third national title in four years, thanks to--as usual--a high-level option offense (keyed by Scott Frost) and a stout defensive front four (led by end Grant Wistrom and tackle Jason Peter)” (Herbstreit 21). This shows that Jason was a large part of the Nebraska defense; even rough Jason’s rough times they should still be proud of him. Also in the book it shows that he was respected “with us as captains we can’t lose” (Peter 55). This show that coach Osborne felt like he trusted and respected Jason in that he let him be a captain. Usually the school is proud of the captain of the team, because he is the leader and shows good examples. In this case Jason shows good behavior at Nebraska, which keeps a good word with the university. Jason should not be judged by what happened to him, because it can happen to anyone. Also they should be...

...American Microbrewery beer is a better quality beer than imported beerAnthony Perrone Activity 9.1 Classical Argument Position Paper Thesis: American Microbrewery beer is a better quality beer than imported beer The majority of Americans automatically associate American beer with the standard Miller, Coors and Budweiser. When in retrospect they are missing out on true “American made” beer. With the general population being content with the “big three” brewers, some Americans demand more out of their beer which steers their attention to an imported beer. Imported beer offers a variety of flavors and different styles, which the big brewers don’t offer, tempting Americans to choose one. What people don’t realize is that America has a lot of good quality micro brewed beer that comes in more flavors and styles than imports have to offer and is a better quality beer. With the craft beer market rising rapidly in the United States, there is a colossal variety of tasty brew to be had. The trademark of craft beer and craft brewers is innovation. When people accuse American beer of being dull and boring, the first thing that comes to mind is big name breweries like Budweiser, Miller or Coors. Al Davenport says “What they don’t know is that the U.S. has an extremely rich and diverse craft-brew industry that produces, by many accounts, some of the best, if not the best, beers on the planet” (Davenport, 2012). Top American microbreweries...

Social networks expands exposure to information which allows people the chance to analyze, create, and evaluate information to develop critical thinking skills. With social networks and teenagers, this is important as the most impactful part of social networks. When collecting information, people can learn to blend it into ideas and present it. Information literacy alone encourages critical thinking, and skepticism. Moreover, social networks like Facebook increases communication. Facebook offers a great program for teachers to build study groups. Professors/teachers can also utilize Facebook to set up projects or lesson plans.

...Youth and Adolescence, each hour of lost sleep is associated with a 38 percent increased risk of feeling sad or hopeless and a 58 percent increase in suicide attempts. This shows that only one hour of sleep loss can prevent very serious issues. If schools opened at the recommended time, it could help kids have a better attitude towards schools and it might even save lives. In addition, prescription sleep aids aren't approved for use among people under the age of 18, many teens are being prescribed medication like Ambien and Lunesta (Gregoire). Kids should not need sleep aids to go to bed just so they can get up in time for the school bus. There are risks to sleep aids also, there is a chance that the child that takes the drug could get hooked to it just like any other drug. If schools just opened later there would be so many benefits. Also, multiple studies have been published that prove that sleep loss can cause diabetes and obesity. This proves that early start times can affect children severely. Child obesity and diabetes are very serious issues, by opening schools later kids can prevent these issues...

...Is Apple’s release of the Apple Watch an example of good innovation timing? Yes, Apple’s release of the Apple watch is an example of good innovation timing. Apple Inc. is an American multinational corporation that produces consumer electronics and computer software products. It was co-founded by the iconic Steve Jobs and the other founders Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Though it faced tremendous amount of adversities in the initial, under the stewardship of Steve Jobs, the brand became a household brand. The company's reputable gadgets include Macintosh computers and laptops, the iPod and the iPhone. Apple software includes the Mac OS X operating system, the iTunes media browser and many other applications (Rouse, 2009). Being a titan in the consumer electronics industry, its latest innovation would the Apple watch. Although other smartwatches has been out in the market. I feel that Apple watch was an example of good innovation timing. The first reason to support my claim would be that, Apple has made life easier for payments. Unlike other smartwatches that does not support the payment through smart gadgets. Apple has made it easier for Apple watch users to pay using the Apple Pay function. This is a mobile payment and digital wallet that allows the users to make payments via their smartwatches at the most secured way (Apple, 2015). This function is so much notable that great companies such as Barclays (Brian, 2016)and ExxonMobil (Campbell, 2016) are backing up this feature...

...Forces and Motion For Students of Baldwin Wallace College Spring Semester 2011 Monday – Wednesday 10:00 – 11:15 am Room 139 Wilker Faculty Richard Heckathorn The materials for this course were organized and edited by Richard Heckathorn using materials from a program called Operation Physics and includes materials developed by him. The original OPERATION PHYSICS activity sequence to improve physics teaching and learning in upper elementary and middle schools was funded by the National Science Foundation. Original Material Copyright 1992 by American Institute of Physics Materials edited and photoduplicated with permission. FORCES & MOTION INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP LEADER’S TOPIC INFORMATION INTRODUCTION TO FORCES & MOTION An understanding of force and motion is fundamental to the study of almost all other physics-related topics. Yet it is a topic often overlooked or only cursorily introduced in elementary and middle school science, even though it is a topic typically identified for inclusion in the curriculum for these grades. A primary reason for this is that many teachers do not feel comfortable about their own understanding of the topic. Consequently, this may be the most needed of all of the OPERATION PHYSICS workshops. This workshop leader’s notebook is divided into two parts: PART ONE Motion Part One begins by introducing participants to the concepts of space and time....
