Chinen: It just means that he’s more friendly with members now. Yaotome: Back then he never talked, and he even started crying in the middle of our choreography session. （笑） Yabu: Unfortunately he changed. Okamoto: Just say “He changed.” And leave it!

...small store. Carol ran the shop up front, and Bruce ran the bakery and ordered supplies. Carol hired two clerks, Marina and Kim, and Bruce hired an assistant, Maurice. They worked closely, and talked face-to-face about things that needed to be done. They also worked intimately with the customers. Everyone was very close, and things ran smoothly because they talked to each other. Bruce and Carol asked Maurice, Marina and Kim about their ideas and their plans on what could make the store run better, and make business more productive. They all told each other what they thought, and shared their opinions with each other. If Marina, Kim, or Maurice had an idea about a new product or a new way to decorate the store, all they had to do was talk to Bruce or Carol about it face-to-face. As it began to grow, Maurice was now master baker, and he had two assistants. The busier they got meant he had less time to work with Bruce, and help order needed supplies. Marina and Kim supervised the shop, which caused them to no longer have time to help Carol. Carol was too busy managing general...

...Liberty University Witnessing Report: 2 Submitted to Dr. Fernando R. Abella In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Contemporary Evangelism Evan 525- D13 LUO By Corey Johnson 4/26/15 As we through this class I have learned sharing with others is not as easy as I would like it to be. Although it is not easy I have been committed to doing this regardless of my fears. Sharing with others is a challenge for most people because of the fact that you have to be willing to receive rejection when sharing the gospel. Being that I have committed to develop in this area has put me in some situations that have actually helped me grow. I recently went out of town on a cruise ship which was an experience in itself. I had every intention on relaxing and not really thinking about things back home. The one thing that I did think about was this class, and I knew that if the opportunity arose on this ship I was going to take it. In the back of my mind I thought it will probably not happen but if it does I wanted to be prepared. Sure enough on the first day we got there I had an experience where I was able to share the gospel with someone. What was interesting about this entire experience was the fact that the person I was speaking to actually spoke little English, they understood it but as far as speaking it was a challenge in itself understanding them. This encounter happened in one of my most comfortable places on land and sea and that is in a fitness facility. I was...

Winfrey is best known for her multi-award-winning talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which was the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.” (Henry, 2007). In this paper we will discuss at length about her personality, her heredity vs. her environment, and how they have played a crucial role in Oprah Winfrey’s life and psychological development. So who is Oprah Winfrey? Oprah Gail Winfrey was born on January 29th, 1954 where she was born to a single mother living below the poverty line in rural Mississippi (Novit, 1986). Oprah’s mother wanted more for her daughter than she had for herself, however wasn’t able to provide for her. Shortly after Oprah’s birth she was sent to live with her grandmother in the inner city of Milwaukee (Alchin, 2008).

Oprah’s grandmother taught her to read and write by the age of three, making her read and write bible verses over and over again (Novit, 1986). Oprah’s grandmother took her to church every week showing off her beautiful granddaughter’s talents...

...Jamont Waters Macroeconomics November 5, 2012 Oprah Winfrey Most Successful Talk Show Host to Live Oprah Winfrey is the most successful talk show host that has ever graced this earth. Oprah was born in a poor rural town of Kosciusko, Mississippi on January 25, 1954. After a troubled childhood filled with sexual abuse by a number of male relatives and friends of her mother, Vernita, Oprah moved to Nashville to live with her father, Vernon, a barber and businessman. She went to Tennessee State University in 1971 and began working in radio and television broadcasting in Nashville. In 1976, Oprah moved to Baltimore where she hosted the TV chat show, People Are Talking. The show became a hit and Oprah stayed with it for eight years. She then hosted her own morning show A.M. Chicago after she was recruited by a Chicago TV station. At this time Donahue was competition for her, but within several months of her A.M. show, she had won her 100,000 more viewers than Donahue and had taken her show from last place to first in the ratings. Her success led to nationwide fame and a role in the film, The Color Purple, in 1985. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Oprah launched the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1986 as a nationally syndicated program. Her show grossed over $125 million by the end of its first year, which Oprah received $30 million. She was on 120 channels and had an audience of 10 million people. She soon gained ownership of the program from ABC, drawing...

...of our 25 more months in this program as well as when we are clinical CRNAs and working as a professional in this field. I think one of my first big “ah ahh” moments came to me during the wellness lecture by Janet DeWan. I struggled in the beginning of the semester with getting back into the mode of studying daily and keeping up with reading and school work as I had been removed from the full time school load for two years during my time as an ICU nurse. I was exhausted and struggling to keep up with my daily reading and studying for multiple very intense courses in this program. I thought I was the only one who was struggling and becoming overwhelmed. I wasn’t alone, and I learned that in talking with my classmates. I was able to talk to them about their own personal struggles and stresses that they were facing with this program as well and we became a support system for each other. Janet Dewan then talked to us about the stresses we face as SRNAs and later in life as CRNAs and the importance of finding our own coping mechanisms for that stress so that we do not lose sight of our focus and desire to become successful CRNAs. Many SRNAs and CRNA’s fall victim to substance abuse or mental breakdowns because of the stresses they are coping with because they do not know how to channel their stress and keep their lives and studies on track. I realized that I need to have an outlet of stress relief for me personally that is healthy, mentally and...

She has become a demi-god in America. There are people who are ready to worship the ground over which she walks. She has lived the Great American dream, a veritable tale of rags to riches with the right amount of glamor added to it. Born in 1954 to unmarried parents, Oprah was raised by her grandmother on a farm with no indoor plumbing in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Oprah's childhood turned into a nightmare because of sexual abuse that she suffered. After suffering abuse and molestation, she ran away and was sent to a juvenile detention home at the age of 13. In 1968, at the age of 14 she gave birth to a premature baby who died soon after birth. An incident of this nature can devastate the entire life of a person. But Oprah Winfrey came out of it a stronger and fiercely determined individual. Her story is one of unrelenting focus and determination. Oprah's tryst with the world of entertainment began when at the age of three she began speaking in church. By the time she was a teenager Oprah was touring the churches of Nashville, reciting the sermons of James Weldon Johnson. Crowned Miss Fire Prevention in Nashville at 17, Winfrey visited a local radio station, where she was invited to read copy. She was so good that she was...

...problems or offering solutions. This can have an avalanche effect that is difficult to stop. Possible Solutions: Don't move on to another person's problem until the first one has been addressed. This will stop the "snowball" effect of other people jumping in with the same complaints. It also reinforces the idea that a support group is a place to get ideas on how to deal with problems rather than just a place to talk and not do anything about those problems. Remind group that support groups should be positive, and members should mention the progress that they are making. Sometimes people don't want to take time away from someone who is having difficulty, but talking about progress is a very important part of a support group. They can offer others suggestions and strategies for improvement. Put something in the ground rules that each member must state something positive that happened to them since the last meeting. If many people in the group have the same specific problem, ask them to think about possible ways to deal with the problem in between meetings, and talk about their thoughts at the next group meeting. This is a good way to get people to take positive action. Make sure that the agenda sets aside time for members to discuss what they've thought about or learned in between meetings. Ask members which of these ideas they plan to use. This puts the emphasis on making progress and...

...The two items I picked to experiment was spreading my belongings so as to occupy too much space and standing and talking with other people and not occupying too much space. In my algebra class, 3 of us sit at a table, with just enough personal space for our textbooks and notebooks. When I arrived to class, the other two people were already at the table, they are a brother and sister. I haven’t spoke too much with them because the class just started 3 weeks ago and with lecture going on, there isn’t much time to talk. After I sat down, I pulled my textbook, notebook and calculator out and placed them on the table. As the lecture started, I appeared to be writing notes in my notebook and reading from the textbook. As I did this, I intentionally moved them out to occupy more of the space from the guy sitting next to me. I noticed as I moved them inch by inch, he would move his items back away inch by inch, giving me more space. Over the next hour, I did this more and more, until I occupied at least half of his space. He occasionally started throwing me dirty looks, but didn’t say much. I could tell he was getting irritated. As I moved my items another couple inches towards him, he finally asked me what my problem was. I said sorry and that I didn’t realize my books were so far in his area. He said that he wondered how I couldn’t of noticed that, he was getting squished. I then explained the experiment to him, and he laughed and said that he was really starting to get pissed off...

...Who talk too much The essay “Women talk too much” by Janet Holmes begins by showing many proverbs point out that women are too talkative. She is trying to prove her points through the use of her research from talk show, seminars, and many other areas. Holmes does all she can to demonstrate that women in fact talk less than men. From most of her investigations, we can know that women do not talk too much, and it is men who tend to insist other hear their opinions more than women do. But why everyone would actually care whether women are talking too much or not? This is hard for me to understand. Take it as an example, when four girls hang out to high tea and talk more per hour than four boys being together, why would the boys care since it has no impact on them? What matters most is not how much men and women talk per specific topics but such things is (a) what do they talk about, (b) how much men and women do talk when they are in mixed gender groups and who seems to focus more on making a better environment for everyone present, (c) what does talk mean to women. Different talk intentions The classroom research Holmes mentioned in the article is not comprehensive. “Talking in class is often perceived as ‘showing off,’ especially if it is girl-talk. Until recently, girls have preferred to keep a low profile rather than attract negative attention.” (303) As a matter of fact, boys do not always dominate the class while girls may therefore are proactive during some issues...
