...Arienne Felisa C. Palma Comm 1 – Ma’am Yu 2015-04880 Dec. 6, 2015 On the Bright Side According to an article in UNESCO’s website, “Youth’ is best understood as a period of transition from the dependence of childhood to the independence of adulthood and awareness of our interdependence as members of a community.” Youth is a more fluid category than a fixed age-group. This statement alone tells us about how complex the term “youth” is since, as we all know, there are infinite differences and varieties between an individual from another individual, a group from another group, and an entire culture from another culture. But generally speaking, there are numerous ways on how to determine people from the youth today and to later find out that these observations are very much lucid and manifested. There are many possibilities as to how to determine the differences between the youth nowadays and the youth before. Stating the main characteristics of today’s generation alone is enough to make a comparison from then. These personal characteristics may be further categorized into four main divisions: Physical, Social, Emotional and Intellectual. Physically, we can see how fashion drastically changes from time to time. As compared to before, the youth today have clothing which tends to be a whole lot showier and less conservative, most especially to girls. Also, they are more likely to be concerned about bodily image than the youth before. And unfortunately, most of them...

...things within the industry competition can be removed? Are there any factors that could be reduced below industry standards in order to create value? What can be created in this industry that no one else has offered before (Blue Ocean Strategy, 2015)? Coming up with solutions and answers to each of these questions can move a product farther into the blue ocean where competition has no effect on your product or service. These questions can also help companies understand where their product lies within the market and realize just how similar or different their product actually is (Blue Ocean Strategy, 2015). A product that entered the blue ocean a few years ago was the Yamaha Rhino. This is a utility terrain vehicle (UTV). Passengers sit side by side and the vehicle is much like a jeep just less expensive. Before this vehicle was introduced into the...

...Fanny Brawne, Feminism and Bright Star. 1. Background: Historical view of Fanny Brawne 1. "A heartless flirt unworthy of a great poet": Fanny was historically painted as an insufferable flirt who cared nothing for Keats, using him for her own amusement while also "ruining" him. A. "an art-ful bad hearted Girl." (George Keats), "A cold and conventional mistress" (Joseph Severn), a "poor idle Thing of woman-kind" (John Hamilton Reynolds), "[she] was vain and shallow, she was almost a child; the gods denied her the ‘seeing eye,’ and made her unaware.” (Louise Imogen Guiney). Letters of a Critic and the publication of Keat's love letters. B. "To Fanny" used as argument for her "ruin" of the poet: Physician Nature! let my spirit blood! O ease my heart of verse and let me rest; [...] Who now, with greedy looks, eats up my feast? What stare outfaces now my silver moon! Ah! keep that hand unravished at the least; Let, let the amorous burn— But, prithee, do not turn The current of your heart from me so soon C. Vitriol levelled at Fanny similar to that seen towards the partner's of celebrities in modern days; compare to Dylan O'Brien and Britt Robertson. 2. "The unwed widow": The release of Fanny Brawne's letters to Fanny Keats from a private collection in 1939 led to a more sympathetic view of Fanny and her relationship with Keats. A. Sudden 180 led to very (overly)...

...EVAN 101-B23 LUO 10/10/11 Methods of Evangelism Paper Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1 The Four Spiritual Laws is an intellectual method of evangelism, which, as it’s title suggests, identifies four spiritual laws that direct an individual’s relationship with God. It was created by Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, in 1952. The four laws, as sited on CampusCrusade.com, are: (1) God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. (2) Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. (3) Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. (4) We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives. An advantage of this method is that it begins with positive note, “God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life,” which may cause non-Christians to be more receptive to the message. Due to the fall and sin, mankind is at variance with God (Ephesians 2:13-16) and there may be a tendency to reject a message concerning God without ever hearing the message. However, starting with such a positive introduction may cause an individual to “lower his guards” so he can hear the Gospel. Another advantage of this approach is that it can be easily communicated in print form and makes for a useful tract, especially considering the positive...

...2 THE LOSS OF THE CREATURE EVERY EXPLORER NAMES his island Formosa, beautiful. To him it is beautiful because, being first, he has access to it and can see it for what it is. But to no one else is it ever as beautiful--except the rare man who manages to recover it, who knows that it has to be recovered. Garcia Lopez de Cardenas discovered the Grand Canyon and was amazed at the sight. It can be imagined: One crosses miles of desert, breaks through the mesquite, and there it is at one's feet. Later the government set the place aside as a national park, hoping to pass along to millions the experience of Cardenas. Does not one see the same sight from the Bright Angel Lodge that Cardenas saw? The assumption is that the Grand Canyon is a remarkably interesting and beautiful place and that if it had a certain value P for Cardenas, the same value P may be transmitted to any number of sightseers-just as Banting's discovery of insulin can be transmitted to any number of diabetics. A counterinfluence is at work, how- ever, and it would be nearer the truth to say that if the place is see? by a million sightseers, a single sightseer does not receive value p but a millionth part of value P . It is assumed that since the Grand Canyon has the fixed interest value P, tours can be organized for any number of people. A man in Boston decides to spend his vacation at the Grand Canyon. He-- visits his travel bureau, looks at the folder, signs up for a two-week tour. He and his family take the tour...

...The Pretty Green Leaf You smoke marijuana for medicinal use, and you grow it, yourself? “Hell yes!” was the response from many members of this meeting. I was dreading this fourth Monday of the month. I was just too curious to pass it up. I knew I had to be there to find out how this subculture really was. I kept reminding myself, of how I grew up. In foster homes, you see a lot of terrible things. This can’t be that bad. The meeting started. The members the members sat casually and socialized, and discussed ways to make each other’s lives better. I was sitting and listening, grateful the welcoming I received. The whole room was chatting about their cultivation. It was already evident that they all have the same belief. The marijuana helps their ailments. As the night went on, my curiosity grew stronger. My thirty-seven-year old mind was hooked on the fascination of it all. Speakers rotated and gave advice on many topics. The first speaker spoke of the laws and regulations. Next, there was a young woman who explained some of her new organic soil. The tw- hour meeting seemed to fly by, as each person spoke. As I listened to each person, I encountered several different ailments. The range was quite extreme. The most common seemed to be migraines. I heard many different stories. I recall a few the most. One of the conversations I had was a nice lady who explained to me why she uses it. She described the excruciating pain in her legs, due to her diabetes. She expressed her reasoning...

...already done. What a pity! Then, I went to clock in, and I put my bag on its place. I took the cabinet key where it used to be. I opened the cabinet. I placed the tools on the big table. I was fixing them. My co-worker, at the same time, was setting up the pallet jacks. We fixed everything. It was time now to start our job. We were both working together. Everything was going on perfectly. And a couple of hours after, it were the worst. According to the rule, when you don’t use the nail-gun, your finger must not be on the trigger. Thus, I was on my side. My co-worker came to my side to get a hammer. He crossed me. Because his finger stayed on the trigger while he was crossing me, my left hand, accidentally, touched the part of the nail- gun where the projectile supposed to be expelled. It was too late. The nail was already left. The nail penetrated into my hand tightly. It passed into one side and appeared straight on the other side, that is to say, at my palm. When my partner saw the nail straight like that in my hand, he cried very loudly. He cried so strong, many people ran through us and saw the damage. Quickly my supervisor led me to the office. They signed a paper. Right away my supervisor drove me to the hospital. When the nail penetrated into my hand, I...

...come out victorious, and escape defeat to the leaders of the league table. Luiz, the centre back and tremendous captain of the team, was pale, his bushy hair was flat, and his nerves were shaking all over the place. This win, would be a great success of the season, it would guarantee fifteen boys a spot in the finals. They deserved to be there, the team had been strong through sickness and injury, through thick and thin, through ups and downs. Eden saw the uncertainty in his teams face, their eyes were focussed on the floor rather than the pitch. The coach was running late as usual, and it seemed that this time Luiz was not getting up to make the before game motivational speech, instead he sat there scratching his boofy head. On the other side of the field, moving in sequence behind a young man with a whistle and a ball, were the opponents. Each of them were individually bigger than Luiz and his team. They were fit, obedient and consistent, the perfect team. Eden took his glance away from the other boys, to see a black SUV pull up in the car park, late as usual. The MHMFC under fifteens coach came rushing from the car, his adidas tracksuit and nike cap made it obvious to the boys that their coach had finally arrived. The team murmured amongst each other, none of them were ready. Eden broke the silence. “It’s about time he showed up, it’s only the most important match of our season” Giggles went around the team. “Our jersey is green, our coach’s jersey is adidas and nike” Laughter...

...A World With Different Views A world with two different gravities it pushes the boundaries of anything we have seen in the universe. In Juan Solanas romantic science fiction film Upside Down, dual gravity worlds exist next to another. The two worlds that are separated are very different, the upper world being rich and the lower being the poor. In the film Upside Down Juan Solanas uses various film techniques to describe the segregated societies as different, sync with a bond and how destructive the societies are. In the film Upside Down the two societies, up or down are viewed upon differently. In the beginning of the film the screen goes from darkness to light when describing the science behind the gravities of the two worlds. This is the first initiation that emphasizes the difference between the two worlds. It highlights the separation of the two worlds through their gravities. In a wide-angle shot scene you can see both worlds in the shot, one of them being the light world and the other one is dark. The light world has an elite and aristocratic look to it, which suggest it is the upper class world. On the other had the dark said looks run down and has a other half look that suggest it is the poor world. The idea of the wide-angle shot with the light and dark worlds pushes this view of two different worlds that share the same atmosphere. In the film Upside Down these two worlds, which are different any many ways, just so happen to share a bond within the film. In a wide-angle...

...get a job, food coupons, and medical facilities. She ironically mentions that the food scarcity has made the food store clerks as important as doctors or lawyers. Tomol states that all Russian towns look identical because the government has enforced uniformity in the country. Consequently, Russians lack freedom and they act as puppets in the government hands. Towards the end of her essay, Tomol describes the Canadian capitalistic society. She says that Canadians are afraid of speaking their minds because they do not want to offend others. Therefore, the Canadians are not honest and they live in a phony materialistic society. To conclude, Tomol says that on one side, Russians are facing many miseries such as scarcity of food, clothing and living place, but they still sustain true relationships with others. On the other side, Canadians are provided with abundance of liberty and material but they lack true friendship and...

...INTRODUCTION HOW TO REALLY GET A JOB IN BANKING: The single most important thing you can do is to talk to as many people as you can. Talk to bankers and second years at SOM, learn about their experiences and views, and above all think for yourself. Getting a job in investment banking should involve two efforts on your part: (1) Learning your own needs - what is it you want in a job? (2) Learning what an investment bank is and does - does this type of job meets your needs? As a final warning, there is an allure to investment banking, namely that it is a high powered, fast-paced, exciting, dynamic career that can make you rich. This can be true, but it is also just a job - particularly as a first-year associate when it may not be as glamorous as you thought it would be. QUALITIES THAT INVESTMENT BANKS LOOK FOR It is important to see yourself as a portfolio of skills and qualities conducting an internet job search as well as any other. There are a number of skills and qualities that banks look for, and a successful candidate needs to put together several, but certainly not all of them. Additionally, it is probably a good idea to have some balance in your portfolio. Some qualities that banks look for on a resume or in the interview and some suggested ways to demonstrate them (these are just a few, and some banks will emphasize some more than others): Show a strong interest in Finance: Be able to convey to an interviewer/contact that you understand what...
