...Then the Long Walk is retold in a first-person narration that seamlessly includes the voices of a great-grandmother who experienced the exile, an aunt, and the frame speaker, who introduces and concludes the poem. It is a story that has been told many times, one that this family recognizes as an intimate part of their existence: “My aunt always started the story saying, ‘You are here/because of what happened to your great-grandmother long ago’” (8). In words that are at once the great-grandmother’s and the aunt’s, and that become the frame speaker’s as she repeats them to us, we learn of Kit Carson’s campaign (“they killed our sheep right in front of us. . . . It was then I knew our lives were in great danger” [8]), the family’s decision to surrender, and some of the horrors of the journey— the murders of pregnant women, the drownings...

...This past evening, I was fortunate enough to see a concert unlike any other I have ever attended (granted I have not been to too many concerts and most were bands like 5SOS and the 1975…). Anthony Russel is a California native now traveling the world to perform his special project of combining traditional Yiddish music and old African American folk songs. Although he originally trained as an opera singer, he found his calling to the Jewish faith and began to perform in synagogues. This project of combining two very different styles of music was not a study of the similarities between the two, but rather a method to help him discover himself and his identity. He expressed how much he loves the distinct differences between the two styles of music...

...Contemporary Organized Crime Article Names CJA January Instructor Contemporary Organized Crime Article When we think of human trafficking, we often think about third world countries, never here domestically. But the horrific reality is that human trafficking is alive and well in the United States. The article states that there are more people in the world today taken against his or her own will then ever before. 30 million people worldwide are enslaved today, putting it in the top three crimes worldwide next to illegal drugs and arm trafficking, that generates billions of dollars. Criminal organizations have capitalized on the exploitation of women and minors that have infested US soil. They are often sold as laborers or sex objects, referred to as prostitutes. The organizations find it easy to manipulate the minors making it easier when the minor gets order to have them more dependent on their “owner” with increased fear of running away or turning to law enforcement for help. The United States has established a Trafficking Victims Protection Act that deals from children being sold as sex slaves, child soldiers, forced child labor and others. The CNN Freedom Project has being raising awareness of human trafficking. The secretary of State Hillary Clinton even spoke on the issue of slavery.

...Prize in 2001. This installation was a reworking of the renaissance choral music "Spem in Alium" by the English composer Thomas Tallis (1514 - 1585) the 40-part choir was designed to mark the 40th birthday of Queen Elizabeth I. The forty voices are grouped into eight choirs of five voices. Each voice was recorded separately and is played back through 40 separate single loudspeakers. This brilliant sound sculpture was positioned specifically throughout the space. . Janet Cardiff is one of Canada's most important artists. Her sound installations have been shown across Canadian places such as in the NGC’s Rideau Chapel, it’s originally showing at Newcastle and also in a large gymnasium at the Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre and around the world. Janet Cardiff said "Most people experience this piece now in their living rooms in front of only two speakers, even in a live concert the audience is separated from the individual voices. Only the performers are able to hear the person standing next to them singing a different harmony. I wanted to be able to climb inside the music." The work allows the audience to get inside the music and experience it almost tangibly as the voices weave in and out of each other. The visitors could listen to each of the voices one by one walking closer to the individual ‘people’- the speakers or to all of them together from the middle of the room. The 14 minutes piece was said to be very deeply moving to visitors, which earned a popularity that usually isn’t...

It visualizes the negation of female gender in art. The paper investigates the dichotomy of language, the use of irony and situational metaphors to displace conventional ones; it blends theories with critical evaluation of discourse. The research uses empirical methods in solving hypothetical questions with the use of extensive and relatively unstructured interviews. It examines the interviews of twenty five people independently, these people include: University lecturers, students, administrative and technical staff. The work analyzes concurrently their interview testimonies to search for congruence. Data analysis begins with a detailed microanalysis in which emergent concepts...

...Lederrick Wesley December 11, 2008 Special Projects Dr. Karin Sehmann The History and Evolution of Gospel Music The culture of African Americans dates back to the beginning of times in Africa. So many things were carried across the world such as culture, art, music, and different cultural practices. The music of African Americans has transcended across different cultures. Gospel music is one of the sacred forms of music for African Americans. This is one of the hottest music genres currently out, and it is not only meant to relay a message to people but change their hearts in the process and help people endure positive out takes on life. Gospel music has a long rich tradition with great contributors such as Thomas Dorsey, Mahalia Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Kirk Franklin. Things such as gospel music workshops and conventions exist today to educate individuals on this peculiar style of music. Recently, I held a gospel music workshop and many things were involved in putting it together. The following paper will discuss my research on the evolution of gospel music and elaborate more on why I decided to do a gospel music workshop. African American gospel music has been implemented with secular and non-African American elements. This has caused many individuals to wonder “what is gospel music?” This musical phenomenon has moved beyond the walls of the “black church” and includes many aspects (Wise 1). Gospel music can be defined from a cultural, spiritual, or...

...Assignment #7: Chapter 7 Questions 1. Why would demand forecasting make sense in a “make to stock” situation? It projects the standard components needed so that the product can be made after customer receiving a customer order. 2. Briefly describe the three (3) types of demand forecasting models. * Judgmental- using judgment or intuition and is preferred where there is limited or no historical data, such as with a new product introduction. * Time series- use of a model to predict future values based on previously observed values. * Cause-and-effect- assumes that one or more factors are related to demand and that the relationship between cause and effect can be used to estimate future demand. 3. Why is forecast accuracy important to logistics? If it fails to maintain an accurate forecast it can cause financially setbacks. 4. Explain the difference between order cycle and order to cash cycle. Order cycle is the management of the various activities and order to cash cycle is the length of time it takes an organization to receive payment for an order. 5. Briefly describe the four (4) components of the order cycle. * Order transmittal- time from when the customer places an order until the seller receives the order. * Order processing- time from when the seller receives an order until an appropriate location (such as a warehouse) is authorized to fill the order. * Order picking and assembly- next stage of the order management process...

...Minimalist contentions: Fight Club Introduction Chuck Palahniuk is one of the most influential American fiction writers who emerged in the 1990s. His debut novel, Fight Club (hereafter: FC) reached cult status after the film adaptation by David Fincher was released in 1999, and widespread and divided critical reception was soon to follow. Much of the current debate about Fight Club focuses on the political implications of the text, but most often recourse to it by way of referencing the film. These arguments usually question or celebrate the transgressive potentials of the book (Giroux; Mendieta), or address issues of masculinity brought into the fore by their literary and cinematic representations emergent in the same decade (Tuss; Friday). However, few, if any, have addressed the literary aspirations of the text and its author. Although none of the approaches to the thematic concerns of Fight Club are unjustified, in the argument that follows I will suggest that conclusions drawn and critical judgments passed have been hasty, and not only failed to take into account the formal aspects of story-telling, but that the narrative features of Palahniuk’s text have largely went unexplored, and constitute a blind spot of the reception. Critics condemning or acclaiming the novel, and, indeed, many a cultic reader of Palahniuk ignored Fight Club as a literary narrative, and have inadvertently been repeating the catchphrases of the text, either reinforcing or trying to undermine what...

Borgen Western Governer’s University Professional Roles & Values 2 Professional Roles & Values Project There are specific functions and benefits that both a regulatory agency and a professional organization entail. The one common objective that exists between the two is to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of the public and their healthcare needs. Through researching both entities, a Professional Nursing Mission Statement outlines the valuable characteristics of both establishments with specific roles that are entailed in each one and how they interpret the meaning of quality of care. A: Functional Differences A regulatory agency such as the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services assists with the regulation and upholding of licensure requirements for delivery of competent care within the nursing profession. Laws that are written and monitored evolve from actions within the legislative and executive branches to safeguard the public (NCSBN, 2015). Regulatory agencies also enforce the state nurse practice act along with overlooking exams that grant licenses and disciplining the license of those that engage in unsafe practice. Nurse education programs require approval from a regulatory agency and need to show that collaboration between students and the facility exist (Nursing World, 2012). A professional nursing organization...
