...A long walk to water by Linda Sue Park teaches two stories, but one of them talks about a boy named Salva going on a huge journey. Salva Mawien Dut Ariik was an eleven year old boy that was in the Dinka tribe, along with his family. While his sisters stayed at home, every day he would go to school to get an education. Unfortunately, while he was at school, numerous gun shots were heard from outside. The North and the South were at war, and many people living in the villages around them were either killed or captured. Luckily, Salva was one of the captured, and he was rounded up with women and children. Soon thereafter, he ended up getting ditched in a barn. Salva had no idea where any of his family was, and he was all alone. While sitting there...

...Audrey Marra 7.16 Radio Feature Tree SOT: Shovel digging up dirt The university’s water oak tree stands as the oldest tree on campus. Its rich history and the myths and legends surrounding it make the tree notorious enough to be dedicated today at 10 a.m. The tree is thought to be about 100 years old and university records provide that it was probably planted by students who were hired to do some odd jobs around the campus. Marcus Maxwell, university historian and professor of history, said that there is not a definite record of who planted what on the campus. A report says that 50 trees were planted during the same spring in the same area as the water oak tree. SOT: Canons going off SOT: Band music SOT: Crowd cheers Some of the history that surrounds the tree includes the gathering of the first troop of soldiers that fought in World War I before they boarded the train to report to their army base. Many people congregated for the send off. The celebration included a live band and speeches from politicians. Elmer Hinton, a local retired bicycle repairman, was one of the soldiers who started for World War I at the tree. Hinton about that day: IN: “It was hot…” :23 OUT: “…was pretty rough.” The same gathering took place for World War II, but with respectively a less festive tone. One of the legends that exist about the tree is about a man who was lynched on it after murdering Mayor Tyree Jones’ wife and two daughters. The legend says ...

...Brooke Ford Business 82 Final Project 7 April 2013 The King of Beverages It's the “Friendly Pepper Upper”, “Always One of a Kind”, and “Just What the Doctor Ordered”. Being the oldest major manufactured soft drink in America (History of Dr Pepper), Dr Pepper is all of those past slogans, and more. It's the greatest soft drink on the planet, and it will stand the test of time. Dr Pepper has come a long way from Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas back in 1885. According to the Dr Pepper Museum website, under “History of Dr Pepper”, the inventor was Charles Alderton, who was a young pharmacist working in the drug store. In his spare time, he had a hobby of mixing carbonated beverages for customers. Apparently, he loved the smell of the drug store so much, with all the fruit flavored smells in the air, that he wanted to create a carbonated drink that captured the scent of the store. After a few tests, Alderton finally became satisfied with his flavor, and offered a sample to his boss, Wade Morrison, who loved it. Alderton soon became confident enough to offer his new drink to his customers, who, in return, offered positive feedback. Dr Pepper officially became a soft drink on December 1, 1885 (History of Dr Pepper). While Morrison is credited as given Dr Pepper the name, the meaning behind the name remains a mystery with a lot of theories. One theory is that Morrison named the drink after his friend, Dr. Charles T. Pepper. There is a legend that Morrison...

...Hiking 1. Explain and demonstrate the main points of good hiking practice, such as pacing, speed, resting, and etiquette. Because hiking is a recreational experience, hikers expect it to be pleasant. Sometimes hikers can interfere with each others' enjoyment, or that of other users of the land, but they can minimize this interference by following good etiquette. For example: * When two groups of hikers meet on a steep trail, there may be contention for use of the trail. To avoid conflict, a custom has developed in some areas whereby the group moving uphill has the right-of-way. In other situations, the larger of the two groups will usually yield to the smaller. * Being forced to hike much faster or slower than one's natural pace can be annoying, and difficult to maintain consistently. More seriously, walking unnaturally fast dramatically increases fatigue and exhaustion, and may cause injury. If a group splits between fast and slow hikers, the slow hikers may be left behind or become lost. A common custom is to encourage the slowest hiker to hike in the lead and have everyone match that speed. Another custom is to have an experienced hiker sweep up the rear, to ensure that everyone in the group is safe and nobody straggles. * Hikers often enjoy the silence and solitude of their surroundings. Loud sounds, such as shouting or loud conversation, disrupt this enjoyment. Some hikers purposely avoid loud sounds, out of deference to other hikers. Staying quiet will also...

...hall. The god Hermes stops him to give him a plant that will act like as an antidote to Circe’s power” (page 7580).This shows loyalty to his country because Odysseus is willing to eat something that might kill him to save his men. “I sent out two picked men and a runner to learn what race of men that land sustained.They fell in, soon enough, with lotus eater, who showed no will to do us harm, only offering the sweet lotus to our friends- but those who ate this honey plant, never cared to report nor return” (page 748 line 673).This shows loyalty to his country because in the book and the movie Odysseus’s men are drugged basically with the lotus eaters that causes the men to want to stay on the island forever, nor eat or drink anything. Odysseus never ate the lotus, so he gets his men and leaves the island. This is showing loyalty because his mind is only set on getting home nothing else. He had the courage to say no and get his men back on the ship.”Yet, it is true, each day I long for home, long for the sight of home” (page 734 line 325). It’s loyalty to because all he wants is to be back in Ithaca with his family and friends.In other words Odysseus was very loyal to his country. Odysseus is loyal to his family. “I maruel that they leave this hound to lie here on the dung pile” “He would have been a fine dog, from the look of him” (page 776 line 1490).This is loyalty to his family because even though a dog isn’t a human he still treat Argos as if he was human.

...enter the data from 100 files, or shelve 100 books. You hustle and finish an hour earlier than your co-worker, and there's not much else to do. Your boss or manager walks by, expresses displeasure at the fact that you're not doing anything, and assigns you to an unpleasant, and really unnecessary task because they don't like seeing you relax (even though you earned it by finishing your assignment faster, right?). What do you do? Quit? File a complaint? Or slow down? These instructions are here for if you decide to reward your own efficiency by using that extra time you earned for R&R--without your boss noticing. Know what the standards are. At the end of the day, you still have to meet those standards if you want to keep your job. The main thing you should know is how much time your manager or boss expects you to spend on a particular project or assignment. Spend that amount of time on it--no more, no less (unless, of course, efficiency is actually rewarded in your position, not punished). If, for example, your boss expects you to spend 40 minutes on a task but you know you can get it done in 20 minutes, you should be able to sprinkle another 20 minutes of "fun time" in (broken up into 3-5 minute intervals) and still get the job done in have a totally clean desk. Fill your work area with several projects that you are in the process of doing (or not doing, as the case may be).

There have been many changes, additions, and improvements during this time. Adventurer Ministry has shown huge growth as well. Youngsters in this age group are full of energy and get excited about being a part of an organization that is designed to expand their view of their world and strengthen their relationship with God, Mom, and Dad through ways that are so much fun. The roof over Adventurer Ministry is supported by several strong pillars. You hold in your hands one of them: the latest updated manual covering all 83 currently accepted Awards for use around the world. There is of course, one small problem: This area of Adventurer fun is not a static field of possibilities, it is a constantly growing—maybe almost exploding—source of activity. Therefore even at the time of this edition’s printing, there are already more Awards being...
