...football days Johnny U was an outstanding player. He attended Saint justin's high school for a beginning of an amazing career. He got in the game when the starting quarterback broke his ankle, Unitas was decided and quickly rose to the top. Notre dame (college dream team) denied johnny u the opportunity to play because they thought he would not “bulk up.” At 6’1” and 138 pounds unitas was merely big enough to fit into the gear let alone take several hits from semi-pro football players. Johnny later received an offer from the university of louisiana and built a solid reputation. He set almost a dozen records including most touchdown passes, which he set in...

...there were two undisputed truths about boxing: the Heavyweight Champion was the most prestigious title in sports, and a white man would hold it. Although slavery no long existed de jure, blacks were in no way free and by no means were they equal. Jack Johnson, a son of slaves, emerged from obscurity in the Jim Crow South to become the first black man to hold the most prestigious title in American sports. But, like the sport of boxing, Jack Johnson was a contradiction himself: although seen as a champion of the black race and enemy of whites, Jack Johnson himself was decidedly race-neutral. His hesitation to join the black community in complete solidarity made him an extremely complicated figure: he was feared by the white community and disliked by his own race. Underpinning this dynamic was his insistence on marrying white women, which made him a traitor in the eyes of the black community and a menace to the natural order of things. Jack Johnson was unique because of his unflagging individualism and his capacity to eschew any restrictions created by his race. This paper will sketch Jack Johnson’s career from his humble beginnings in Galveston to his victory over Jim Jeffries. For the sake of convenience, it will not deal with the events that transpired after the Jeffries fight (his violation of the Mann act and trips to Europe), but instead focus on his ascent. It will be primarily a biographical...

...January 1, Baker Jacksons commitment day. The town is packed inside the high school gym and the state is waiting anxiously for the big moment. Alabama and Michigan are the final two schools left and the final verdict is in his hands. He begins to thank his family, friends and the city of Ithaca for everything they have done for him. He pauses for 20 seconds and says “For the next three years I will be bringing my talents to Ann Arbor, Michigan to play under Jim Harbaugh.” The crowd erupts as maize and blue confetti falls from the ceiling. The state of Michigan has kept the number 1 player in the country at home. He goes on to praise about everyone who's helped him get an opportunity by saying “I’d like to thank Michigan and Alabama for the commitment they put towards me and I’m extremely...

...a lot of time learning how to jump. During the Tandem Skydive, which requires only minimal instruction, i am harnessed to an instructor for the entire jump. During the jump, i, myself, experience total exhilaration while free-falling through the fathomless sky at 120mph. Then, after the parachute opens, ride a sea of tranquility as i gently drip through the sky, soaking up the panoramic view of a lifetime. It all started during a plane trip in January 2013, when i browsed through the Regional Express inflight magazine and came across an article about skydiving. The author had visited the flourishing skydiving community of Coffs Harbour in New South Wales, interviewed some experienced divers, then made the big jump himself. Before i had even finished reading the article, i knew i would be skydiving soon. If i could experience half the buzz this reporter was gusting about, then skydiving was something i just had to experience for myself. People skydive for all sorts of reasons; some purely fro the massive adrenalin rush, others for more profound reasons such as overcoming their inner fears. For me, i had always been scared of the height. Therefore, the idea of jumping of the airplane...

...Congress to lessen the representation of any state that didn’t give impartial suffrage to males. When it came to the topic of the treatment of blacks, the U.S. government was notorious for inching away from the loud, complaining, white majority, and appeasing their prejudiced views with a so-called “compromise” that succeeded only in allowing for more time to ponder how to approach the beast of a problem that had finally been unchained. An example of this is the Missouri Compromise, the document that decided that slavery would be abolished only above the 36 30 line, thus delaying an answer to the question of whether or not slavery should be allowed in the United States. Opinion Abraham Lincoln’s very near apathetic view towards slavery is a big reason why freedmen weren’t quickly granted the rights they deserved. If freedmen had started out immediately with the imitation equal rights granted to blacks during Reconstruction, then African Americans would sooner achieve truly equal rights. This would jump-start the overthrowing of racist social institutions and the renewal of expectations, for, as S. Mintz and S. McNeil(2013) said, “Reconstruction helped set the pattern for future race relations and defined the federal government's role in promoting racial equality”(par. 2). However, I don’t believe that African Americans could’ve started out in post-Civil War U.S. with completely equal rights because of the lingering racism toward blacks possessed by the Democrats and moderate Republicans...

...Story Structure [pic]Saturday, April 4, 2010 [pic]There's no doubt about it, breaking into Hollywood as a scriptwriter is tough. Thousands of scripts are sent each year, some don't get read, most get rejected and a few make it. If you want your script to become a viable commodity it has to have the following. • A main character who is driven towards achieving a goal • An opposition to your main character who will hold your main character back from achieving their goal • A fight (literal or metaphorical) between your main character and their opposition • An ending which answers the questions "Can the main character achieve his goal?" If your script can present such a story, along with a well thought out main character who the audience can relate to then you will all ready have the jump on most scriptwriters. Remember that once you have sold your script how it is presented and portrayed is all in the hands of the director and the actors. If you want the story in your script to shine then your structure must be solid. Think of the story structure as the framework and foundation of your scipt, from which you can create a wonderful piece of architecture. It doesn't matter how good the story idea, if your structure is weak then the story will fall flat. Perfect Plot Structure It doesn’t matter how good of an idea you have if you can’t find a way to tell the story. As a scriptwriter proper structure will give you the ability to convert...

...Concept Background The consultant, OD Mr. Willie Byrd, met with the client contact, Jim Willis CEO of the Blue Sky Software Consulting Firm, on Dec. 17, 2014 regarding examination of the management issues facing Blue Sky Software. Also in attendance at that meeting were the three division VPs who, together with Jim, comprised the Search Committee. During the meeting, Jim described Blue's current challenges, which included leadership changes, motivation/innovation, development of a strategic plan and its value, regional design, need for attention to strategic planning, finances, staffing and public relations – and possibly more areas, but Mr. Willis was not sure which yet. OD Mr. Byrd described how an overall systematic approach to organizational development would be the most effective approach to addressing Blue's major problems. He added that, during times of major change, it often is best to include some Board and leadership development in the project to help leaders understand and guide the change throughout the organization. OD Mr. Byrd added that the organizational development activities would best be conducted in the overall context of short-term, internally strategic planning, including the development and implementation of the Strategic Plan. After some discussion, participants agreed that a systematic approach to overall organizational development would be highly useful to Blue. Jim asked OD Mr. Byrd to provide a proposal that described more specifics on how OD Mr....

...they like to do and that alone keeps them motivated. They strive to improve themselves and that's what makes them happy. Extrinsically motivated employees only seek out work that they can benefit from one way or another. Showing up just to collect a paycheck or abuse the generosities the company offers are some examples. The SAS organization does a great job keeping their employees motivated and ready to work. There are several factors they may lead to both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated employees at the SAS organization and some that may also lead to long-term motivated employees. How does SAS motivate employees Motivation is term that explains people's behavior and what drives them. Peoples actions, needs and desires play a big part on the way people get motivated to do things that will benefit them in return.

...Doug likes to take 12 weeks to peak, but it could vary a little because of an injury or something but this is the basic cycle he likes to follow. The first four weeks he uses 4 sets of 6 reps in the bench press. On the 4th set he goes limit. He uses each rep as a 5-pound indicator for his next workout. He starts the cycle at 400 lbs. Example – 400 x 6, 400 x 6, 400 x6, 400 x limit (e.g. 10) So, from the last set, five pounds for each rep over six would work out to (10 reps minus 6) 4 times 5 (five pound for each rep over six)equals 20 (pounds more next workout). Example (next workout) – 420 x 6, 420 x 6, 420 x 6, 420 x 8. Many 4-20’s! Then, by following the same plan – 2 reps more than 6 in the last set equals a 10 lb. weight increase at the next workout. The highest he has reached in this program is 470 pounds for 4 sets of 6. These workouts fall twice a week of every fourth day, as desired and as his work schedule with the railroad with the railroad with the railroad allows. After 4 weeks Doug goes to a double program. One workout is the same 4 sets of 6, and the next workout is 5 sets of 3. This runs for 4 weeks or up to 4 weeks before the meet. At that time he does only 5 sets of 3 for 2 weeks. 2 weeks before the meet he goes to 5 sets of 2, timing it where he gets three workouts in but rests for five days before the meet. In past programs he had done one limit set of reps at the end of his workout with anywhere from 50 to 100 lbs. under what he was working with his...

...relies on this Hitler-esque persona to sustain his own personal identity and self-worth, although in his mind, this fake persona is only subsidiary to his own personality. Jack struggles with ascertaining the importance of himself as compared to the importance of his own made-up persona and this notion of fabricated reality becoming more important that actual reality is offered throughout White Noise. While in his role of Chairman of Hitler Studies, he refers to himself as J.A.K. Gladney and dresses in sweeping, dramatic robes while teaching. Jack also takes into consideration the advice of the chancellor, “He wanted me to “grow out” into Hitler. He himself was tall, paunchy, ruddy, jowly, big-footed and dull. A formidable combination. I had the advantages of substantial height, big hands, big feet, but badly needed bulk” (DeLillo 16). This impression of J.A.K. Gladney differed greatly from Jack’s own character, and the fact that he does not know German only adds to the plasticity of his fabricated self. The idea of false reality overtaking actual reality is shown by Jack and Murray’s visit to The Most Photographed Barn in America. During their visit, Murray states that the tourists are “taking pictures of taking pictures…We can’t get outside the aura. We’re part of the aura. We’re here, we’re now (DeLillo 12). Murray is stating that the tourists and Murray and Jack themselves are only there because of the aura in which the title of the barn, along with all the...
