...Individuals are defined in several different ways such as neat or sloppy, but the word neat or sloppy may have numerous diverse meanings to others. Suzanne Britt, the author of “Neat People vs. Sloppy People,” used a direct tone to favor messy people. She also defined two individuals in today’s society by the way they keep their environments hygienic. Britt mainly focused on explaining how neat people are really sloppy and how sloppy people are really neat in their own ways. She wanted her readers to learn not to be as uptight in their lives and increase time for friends and family. In contrast to Britt, Dave Barry, the author of “Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out,” used a humorous tone in his article to exemplify how men and women have different...

...I have wondered before if I will have the chance to see the real beauty of life that I can’t find here in the busy city. But at last, after almost two hours of travel, I have seen what I am looking for; the clean river, the cold breeze, the leafy trees and the welcoming smiles of the Bago tribe, such an amazing treasures behind the mountains. Maybe it is the treasure in the end of every rainbow I see. For the pot of gold lie in the hearts of the tribe, their culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of the people. Despite of the developing municipality of Suyo, their culture remained; it is not damaged by the changes. They made sure that their culture will not die by letting the children learn in mind and heart their wonderful culture. The smiles in faces of the children showed that they really love what they are learning. It is soothing to the ears to hear their angelic voices; their ethnic dances made me forget the contemporary dances and how they beat their bamboo instruments made me feel the magic of nature. Even if I cannot understand what they are singing, I felt that they sing to show how proud they are to be part of the Bago tribe and to be thankful of all the blessings that God had given them. They gave thanks that day through a ritual, and a pig was butchered that I think is a sign of their respect and belief to the Lord. Every song they have sung reflected how they live their life in the past and now. I am amazed how they used bamboo cylinders as water containers...

...The final topic I choose is wind energy; about is it clean cheap and practical? As people know that wind energy is totally clean and just use wind to convert energy. I will figure out what is the advantage of wind energy and how to get the clean, environmental wind energy. However, people don't know how to gain wind energy; the process of converting is clean or not. Furthermore, what kind of machine like windmill can make wind energy, that’s also a question. First, I will introduce the wind energy which has different types, and their different function. Using the official language in the google to describe it, also when and why wind energy comes out. Like talking about wind energy’s history. And I will tell the wind energy machine, how to make it and how long to make it. also, how much pollution it will have during the making time. Then, I will say something about how wind energy developed and figure some celebrity in this area and their contributions. And what they didn't do and the difficult points for them and future wind energy. The next step I will talk about the wind energy in worldwide, how it works and what range does it works, then specify to different countries, such as the U.S. and China.

...Sean Pack BUS 101 OCA Donatos Pizza 1. We decided to use a total of 3 employees for cooks in the kitchen at Donatos. The number of 3 would not only help us with making orders, but also with the clean duties after the rush hours. In the year or so, HR will extend our cook employees to 4 per shift for better efficiency. 2. As a Pizza/ Fast Food chain, yes we do compete for employees. We feel that the atmosphere, our salaries and benefits, interest our potential employees more than our competition. 3. After a year of being with us, we sit down with the other managers and grade an employee’s performance on a scale of 1-10. The next day we call in the employee, and let him know how he/she did last year, and how he/she can do better in the coming year. 4. First we look internally. If there isn’t an employee that fits the criteria for that particular position, we check our other stores that are close by. If all else fails, then we advertise employment. 5. Yes. Donatos wants every piece of diversity it can muster. We believe that different people bring different ideas that can help this company grow and be more successful. We do not discriminate against any race, background, or family history. Everyone has a fair chance to be a part of the Donatos family. 6. We would sit down with that employee, and try to understand his reasoning, if we can’t come to an agreement; he/she would be moved to either a different dept. of a new store entirely...

...thought triggered me to ask myself, “What would be my ideal summer vacation looks like?” To start my visualization, I would like to spend it in a place afar from the noisy streets of the city. A place where the only sounds I can hear are the chirping of the birds, the waves crashing on the shore and the laughter of my family. In that place, the trees are dancing gracefully and flowers are waving gently with the wind. In the distance, the shore is filled with sand so white, crystal clear water and with porpoises on the sea side. On the top of the hill resides our home, a small bungalow type but filled with so much contentment and joy. Inside of it are simple things to suffice our needs. Upon entering the entrance door, you will see the clean and tidy living room, with a window on the right that offers a beautiful sight of the blue ocean. Beside our home, there stood a tall and old narra tree that gives us shade during the day. Flowers of different kinds and varieties grows around the yard abundantly. Then, I can see the endless sky above with shiny shimmering stars blinking at night and in the water, it seems the unreachable stars are within my grasp. In a distance, I can see the fire keeps burning from the bonfire we have made, and beside it, sitting my loved ones with a happy face. Generally, my summer vacation would be an ideal one, even though I may not have those picturesque sceneries, what matters most will be the tranquility I have when I am with my...

She also feels that her husband is scared to do the necessary actions, unlike herself. “My hands are of your color, but I shame/to wear a heart so white.” Interactions She seemed like she was extremely disappointed when Macbeth told her that he couldn’t kill the king. “was the hope drunk/Wherein you dress’d yourself? Hath it slept since? And wakes it now, to look so green and pale /At what it did so freely?” Macbeth Observations Text Support Looks He seems ambitious like his wife but not at the same level.

...September 28, 2013 Michaelia Henry ID No. 0210073 M.Arch 1 Course: Critical Theories in Architecture Lecturer: Arch. Jacquiann Lawton Critical Theories in Architecture: Modernity Exploring Research Methodology – Writing Dialectical History Thesis Statement Craftsmanship is the basic human impulse to do a job well for its own sake. It involves Creative Thought, Precision, Apprenticeship, Crafting an Object Well, adhering to The Structure of the Workshop and the Practice of the Intelligent Hand. Contemporary Jamaican Woodcraft is an example of Craftsmanship. Introduction Fashioning furniture, doors, windows and other architectural elements out of timber is an old practice. Before the industrial period, many of these items would be crafted by hand. The effort and care taken to create each piece; seen in the final product. This is one way of romanticizing traditional woodwork. A more cynical view would be to criticize the minor imperfections of these pieces – the uneven pattern created by carving by hand, the lack of perfect symmetry in the manmade spindle form. This cynical view has some validity – if; the priority of making the object is the actualization of perfection. Social commentators like Richard Sennett believe this kind of priority misses the true point of Craftsmanship – the desire to do something well for its own sake. I agree. The actualization of Craftsmanship is not about the making a perfect object. It is about the intrinsic need to do a job well for its own sake. There...

...teacher for this assignment Was this individual professional? Yes I believe that the teacher was not being professional. I did not feel that comfortable with standing with her hands on her hips. To me that is somewhat a gesture that shows that she is impatient with the child writing on the board. Possibly because the child is taking a long time to write on the board. What made the individual professional (consider attire, communication skills, presentation of self, etc.)? Her attire was ok, however she could have buttoned her blouse up a little bit more so that she was not showing her jewelry. Her presentation of herself was not a good look. She was standing with her hand on her hip which could be perceived as an angry gesture towards the child that was at the chalk board. Another parent or school personne could have saw this as a problem as well if they had walked pass her classroom and noticed this teacher. Were there aspects presented that were not professional? If so, please describe. Again I would have to say the hips and hand. That gesture could easily be misrepresented and could be seen as offensive. •Include any additional thoughts. The teacher seems to be a little displeased with the child by placing her hands on her hips. Although the teacher did have a smile, the gesture of the hand would make me believe that the child was taking too long to write whatever she was righting. Part 2: Personal Reflection and Connection What is the appropriate attire...

...the thermometer in further. Remove after 3 minutes or when the device beeps. * Armpit -- place the thermometer in the armpit, with the arm pressed against the body. Wait for 5 minutes before reading. Plastic strip thermometers change color to show the temperature. This method is the least accurate. * Place the strip on the forehead and read it after 1 minute while the strip is in place. * Plastic strip thermometers for the mouth are also available. Always clean the thermometer before and after using. You can use cool, soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Electronic ear thermometers are common and easy to use. However, some users report that the results are less accurate than with probe thermometers. Pulse You can find your pulse in places where an artery passes close to your skin, such as your wrist or neck. To find your pulse in your wrist: * hold out one of your hands, with your palm facing upwards and your elbow slightly bent * put the first finger (index) and middle finger of your other hand on the inside of your wrist, at the base of your thumb * press your skin...

...Ohayo Nii-san :D Soft light through a window. A shuffle beneath the sheets. A stifled yawn. Sasuke sat up slowly from where he lay on his bed, his vision still hazy from sleep. He yawned yet again as a pallid hand rose to meet his face, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He mumbled to himself incoherently as his bare feet met the cold, hard floor. Coal colored eyes rose to meet the small, hand drawn picture that he had made of himself and his family not two days ago, and his eyes flashed with realization. Today was his Aniki's birthday. As he thought, his sleepy pout slowly turned to a mischiveous grin. He quickly, but carefully, hopped down from his bed and made his way over to his door. Cracking it open ever-so-slightly, he peered into the hallway. Passageway clear. Tiptoeing into the hallway, he made his way to the door adjacent to his. Pausing to listen, he made sure that no one else was awake before placing his hand on the door. He slowly applied pressure, and was rewarded with a small gap to peek through. With one eye he scanned the room for his prey. His breathed hitched in his throat as he spotted a large lump on the bed located in the corner of the room. Target identified. His face once again broke out into a grin, this one wider than before. He waited a few moments before pushing the door open a little further. Squeak. He froze, heart beating frantically in his chest, and he was sure that the horrible pounding could be heard a mile away. As...
