...time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mind. You gave me roses and I left them there to die. So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night, And I go back to December all the time. Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine. I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right. I go back to December all the time. These days I haven't been sleeping Staying up playing back myself leaving, When your birthday passed and I didn't call. And I think about summer, all the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the passenger side Realized that I loved you in the fall. Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind. You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye. So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night. And I go back to December all the time. Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine. I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind. I go back to December all the time I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right, And how you held me in your arms that September night, The first time you ever saw me cry. Maybe this is wishful thinking, Probably mindless dreaming If we loved again I swear I'd love you right. I'd go back in time and change it but I can't So if...

...combat these issues. Background In the past the post-secondary enrollment forecast has been extremely positive. According to the US Census Bureau, between the years 2000 and 2005, college enrollment grew by 15 percent. From 2005 to 2010, it increased another 20 percent. But the growth has come to a standstill. In 2013 enrollment fell yet again by two percent across the board. Because of the demographics served by CAPS, the decline can be contributed to the decrease in college-age population. This can be contributed to the economic recovery. The adults who lost their jobs during the recession or opted out of the unwelcoming job market went back to school during the recession to get ahead. Now, those adults are being drawn back to work by the economic revival. Tactic #1 Focusing on students who have already made the commitment to go back to school before requesting information from a university. According to the 2010 version of the American Community Survey, only 41 percent of the current adult workforce (age 25-64...

...APPENDIX Article 1: INDIA'S finance minister is smiling. He is also not hiding his worries. Advance growth estimates released by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) show that the Indian economy is likely to expand at its fastest pace in three years at 8.6 per cent in 2010-11. The economy grew at a rate of 8 per cent in 2009-10 and 6.8 per cent in 2008-09. The growth rate of 8.6 per cent in GDP during 2010-11 has been due to the growth rates of over 8 per cent in the sectors of manufacturing (export), construction (govt) trade (export), hotels, transport and communication, financing, insurance, real estate and business services (consumption), said an official release of the CSO on Feb7. "All along I was maintaining it should be around 8.5 per cent plus; 8.6 per cent is accepted," MrMukherjee told the Press Trust of India adding, "Now the other issue is inflation, (demand-pull, AD SHIFT RIGHT) trade balance... these are to be addressed." The gross domestic product (GDP) estimates are higher than the predictions made by the Reserve Bank of India and the finance ministry but are also an indication that the economy had slowed down somewhat in the second half of the current financial year. The latest GDP growth estimate of 8.6 per cent for the entire fiscal year implies that the pace of economic expansion slowed in the second half of 2010-11, given that GDP growth in the April-September 2010 period stood at 8.9 per cent.

...in the 1960`s with record setting profits in the mid- to late- 1960`s. The company slowed down in the 1970`s economic recession caused by Vietnam War and the oil embargo. Hampton stabilized by the late 1970`s and now has a “strong working capital position”. The company also didn`t have a debt during 10 years until December 1978. 1. Why can`t a profitable company like Hampton repay its Bank Loan on time and why does it need more bank financing? The excising $1 million loan was due September 30, 1979, but Mr. Cowins requested to renew it until the end of 1979. The main cause why Hampton can`t repay its Bank Loan on time is that the company made a stock repurchase, for which loan was taken. That was major cash expenditure for the company of $3 million ($1million of loan+ $2 million of excess cash) in December 1978; this was a main reason why company had a delay in repaying of the loan. The president of the company, Mr. Cowins wishes to borrow an additional $350,000 “for planned equipment purchases in October”, they didn`t buy or renew an equipment since the economic recession. He also mentioned this loan in total $1,350,000 will be repaid at the end of December 1979. 2. What major developments between November 1978 and August 1979 contributed to this situation? There were also developments that contributed to this situation. The company spent extra $420,000 on raw materials beyond company`s needs. Another one is that Hampton Company had a reduction in work because...

...TO: Salvador Rameriz FROM: xxx DATE: December 8, 2013 SUBJECT: Charitable Giving of Target and Walmart The aim of this project was to compare and contrast the charitable practices between Target Corporation and Walmart. This report presents the charitable giving of these two corporations. For the past few years, both Target and Walmart had become major contributors that give back to the community. Introduction The Target Corporation was founded by George Dayton in 1902 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is the second largest discount retailer in the United States and its first Target store was opened in 1962 in Roseville, Minnesota (Target Corporation, 2013). The company has been praised for giving back to the community with an average of 5 percent of pretax earnings consistently each year, in fat and in lean times. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., branded as Walmart, is one of the largest retailers in the world.

...Car Seat Safety Teresita Pine Grand Canyon University NRS-434V Kami Purdy December 14, 2014 Car Seat Safety Juana Ruiz Hernandez a patron of Santa Clara church in Oxnard California, is a mother of 3 now, delivered her 3rd baby a little girl, one month ago. She works in a lemon packing factory, with an 8th grade education. Mrs. Hernandez reported that she speaks and understands English well. This paper will describe the teaching and learning that transpired between this author and Mrs. Hernandez. After the proper introductions were made, Mrs. Hernandez was handed a pamphlet regarding Car Seat Safety. Mrs. Hernandez was asked about whether she had just purchased a car seat that she is using now for her new born. Mrs. Hernandez reports that the car seat that she has right now was a used one from a relative because her second child is still using an infant car seat (J. Hernandez, personal communication December 13, 2014). When enquired if she has the directions to the installation of the manufacture she stated she didn’t (J, Hernandez, personal communication December 13, 2014). Upon assessing the car seat that is in use for the infant, this author noted the straps to appear worn out. This author then informed Mrs. Hernandez that according to SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A recommends sticking with car seats that are ideally less than five years old and definitely less than ten years old (BabyCenter 2014). While this author was presenting the pamphlet to Mrs. Hernandez,...

...You are in a very lucky phase, for Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, is still in Gemini for the first time since mid-2000 to mid-2001. Back in those years, Saturn was not in a friendly angle to Jupiter, and so Saturn severely limited Jupiter's benefits. You have a far brighter picture now, so there's no end to how high you can fly. Right now, Jupiter has been retrograde since October 5, so it is sliding backward toward the beginning degrees of Gemini. Actually this is good, as Jupiter will be intent on coming back to give more benefits to Gemini with birthdays that fall in May up to June 6. (As you see, there are times a retrograde planet can be quite beneficial.) Jupiter will turn direct on January 30, so at that time, Jupiter will be even stronger than it is now. If you feel life has been fortunate for you recently, imagine how much more fortunate you will be later when Jupiter moves direct! This planet of goodness will remain in your sign until June 25, 2013, so you have many wonderful days ahead! Speaking of wonder days, there was a lunar full moon eclipse late last month November 28, in Gemini 7 degrees, and it appeared very close to Jupiter. If your birthday falls within five days of May 27, you were in line for double the luck at eclipse time, and this is also true if you have a natal planet at 7 degrees (plus or minus five degrees) of Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. That new moon eclipse likely illuminated a path ahead by giving you very...

...Persuasive Piece Contention: Heroin must be decriminalised The prostitution of twelve-year-old children as heroin peddlers on the streets has sent shockwaves through the community. The devastating effects of heroin have ruined the lives of hundreds of families through the loss of loved ones. The precious lives of teenagers and adults alike are being sacrificed on the altar of those, whose dogma prevents them from accepting the need for a new approach. Heroin must be decriminalised, in order to control and curb the devastating effects its use inflicts on the community. The importation, sale and use of heroin has been banned for 43 years, yet ironically heroin is now more freely available than ever. Outlawing heroin has not hindered its use, instead it has been conducive to other evils. Rather than depressing the “500 heroin-related deaths” occurring in Australia annually, prohibition has furnished the epidemic of HIV and hepatitis C in the community through the “use of unclean needles.” Instead of controlling heroin, prohibition has delivered the illicit drug as a franchise to organised crime. The continuing eruption of the black market has been sustained by the staggering “640 billion dollar” annual profit. It is this filthy profit that allows for the corruption, exploitation and intimidation of anybody, from the corner shopkeeper to the judiciary. It has provided the criminal element with the impetus to carry out every endeavour necessary “to expand demand and...

Lebensborn, for all intent and purpose, was designed to become a human breeding program. "In the best interest of the child, we are breeding superior Aryan children" (SS Nazi chant) The Lebensborn program, was founded and created on December 12, 1935, to promote the policies of Nazi eugenics among other interests. One, of the objectives was to perpetrate, an illusion of superiority (of the Aryan race) over all other inferior races. Some of the ideas used to create the Lebensborn program were extensions of similar programs already practiced and in place throughout North America, such as those created by the Alberta Eugenics Board which was set up in 1928 to eliminate the feeble minded individual from existence. The Lebensborn centers, homes and facilities were also used to house young children between two and six years old kidnapped, to be put through a process of Germanization....

...Most professions have an ethical guideline that most will follow and adhere too, some have more responsibility than others, the medical industry for example has a very crucial ethical standing to go with the line of work, such as patient confidentiality (2009), but that isn’t to say that ethics in other lines of work aren’t as relevant as others. The line for what is ethically right and wrong in the design/development industry can be a little blurred at times (2007), for example graffiti could be looked at by some as offensive, whereas others may see it as creative freedom. This can cause problems for designers who have to take an extra responsibility to make sure their work is ethically correct. Back in 1995 when web browsers were fairly new there had not been much thought and consideration put in to ethics related to browsers (2011), this was partly due to there a relatively small amount of the population using the internet at the time, so not every issue had been discovered or addressed. As browsers progressed ethical problems arose such as online security and what details a browser should and shouldn’t save, issues which needed addressing immediately, such as cookie law, advertisements and data tracking. Chrome is a relatively new web browser, launched in 2008 by Google. Being a new browser means any ethical issues previously found in browsers, such as how information entered by a user can be stored and how it is allowed to be used, could instantly be implemented...

...myths and misconceptions that other people including myself have regarding his religion. Haile Selassie I The Rastafarian religion plants its roots in Africa, and is frequently associated with the underprivileged black population of Jamaica. The followers of Rastafari consider it to be more of a way of life, and not just a religion. Rastafarians consider themselves to be advocates of global issues and often speak out against social injustices such as inequality, oppression and poverty. The foundation of the Rastafarian religion is rooted in the Holy Bible, which is believed to be the word of God. “Our primary belief is that Jesus Christ returned to Earth as Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia”. (R. Kamau, personal communication, December 1, 2011) Selassie, born as Lij Tafari Makonnen, later changed his name to Ras Tafari, was the Emperor of Ethiopia.
