...cannot believe I made it this far. I have been in school for twelve years and this year is the last. Some students may say, “I cannot wait until graduation,” well I certainly can! Don’t get me wrong I am excited; therefore I want it to go by slow so I can enjoy this year. While in Appomattox Elementary School, I had a rough time with my reading, however I got held back. From then on, my family had helped me through reading and also helped me go into 4-H public speaking, I received 1st place! For the last three years I have done great ! I had a rough time in VA/US history last year, but with the help of my fiancé, I passed! This senior year I plan on doing online college classes for dental hygienist. When I graduate, I am going to go to Cvcc for two years then transferring to Liberty University. The reason to be a dental hygienist is because I love the dentist and loved how straight they made my teeth. I would like to make people happy with their own teeth. I hope to...

...the Army. This was due to not being able to find care for my child during any deployments I might be assigned to. I began working in the civilian field again. It became apparent that if I continued to work without a college degree I wouldn’t have the opportunities that I wanted for myself and my child. I made the decision to enter college. This decision was made out of a desire to have a better income and lifestyle. Even when I entered college the types of decisions I made continue to be a driving force in finishing my degree. Acceptance in Troy State meant that I was finally beginning my journey to achieving a degree. After attending for awhile I discovered that I would have to retake courses that I had previously completed while at CVCC. This would involve more time and money than I had anticipated so, I made my decision to transfer to University of Phoenix. Decision making can be seen as a series of steps with a logical flow. For example first you must identify and diagnose the problem. For me it was I don’t make enough money in my job without a college degree. Secondly, one should generate alternate...

...PHONOLOGICAL RULES * Phonemes are mental entities and phones are physical rules. In phonological rules we consider the connection between these two levels. * A speakers knowledge of phonological rules allows him or her to “translate” phonemes into actual speech sounds; knowledge of these rules forms part of the speakers linguistic competence. * Change from the underlying phonemic form to the actual phonetic form of a word by means of phonological rules can be represented with a diagram. phonemic form =rules= phonetic form Examples: I can ask {ay kaen aesk} I can see { ay kaen si} I can bake { ay kaem bek } I can play { ay kaen ple} I can go { ay kaen go } I can come { ay kaen kam } * As these transcriptions show /n/ is pronounced as /m/ when it precedes a labial stop and as /n/ when it precedes a velar stop. We can state this fact about English as descriptive rule: /n/ is pronounced as: /m/ before a labial stop /n/ before a velar stop /n/ everywhere else Flapping: Alveolar oral stops are realized as /r/ when they occur after a stressed vowel and before an unstressed syllable. Writer /raytr/- /rayrr/ and rider /raydr/-/ rayrr/ are examples of the application of this rule. Palatalization- refers to a special type of assimilation in which a consonant becomes like a neighboring sound. For example...

...Gustav Kirchhoff Student: Austin Stilwell Class: PHY-151 Instructor: Prof. G.Camilo Lab Date: July 21, 2014 CVCC For my term paper I decided to research and write about Gustav Kirchhoff. Gustav was the son of a lawyer; he was born and educated in Königsberg, Prussia (now the Russian city Kaliningrad). He graduated from Albertus University in 1847 and soon after married Clara Richelot, the daughter of his mathematics professor. The couple immediately relocated to Berlin, where Kirchhoff had obtained an unpaid teaching position. In 1850, at the unusually young age of 26, he received an appointment as Professor Extraordinaire in Breslau (now Wroclaw), Poland (Gustav Robert Kirchhoff). Gustav is often referred to as the father of electrical currents. I chose to write my paper about Kirchhoff because; I am currently studying electrical engineering technology. A lot of the information that you learn freshman year is based around Kirchhoff’s Laws. In 1845, Kirchhoff became acquainted with Bunsen, who urged him to follow him to Heidelberg, Germany, which he did in 1854. As a professor of physics at the university there, Kirchhoff was very successful, but he did suffer personal adversity when his wife died in 1869, leaving him alone to finish raising their four children, a task made more difficult by a disability that often confined him to a wheelchair or to the use of crutches (Molecular Expressions). Gustav also announced his voltage laws at this...

...Scott Denham Deadbolt Project Executive Summary My name is Scott Denham. I am 29 years old and I grew up in Oregon. My background goes to early childhood, when I was very curious about finding out the way things work. As a young boy I would get watches for Christmas and tear them apart to see what was inside and how it worked. Later in life it was helping my father, who was a young engineer, tearing apart a transmission on a 1976 Honda Civic, CVCC, just to be around that. As I grew older I began racing motocross, and I was my own mechanic. I learned by practice what was inside an engine and how it worked. At age 18 I began chasing after adrenaline. The next step in my quest for a rush was skydiving. After a few years of skydiving I joined the industry working for Velocity Sports building container and harness systems for skydiving. I began coming up with ideas for new invention and dreamed of creating my own when that day came. I joined the army shortly after this and spent a few years in combat arms before deploying and eventually leaving the army. Upon leaving the army I came back to Oregon where I grew up to get an education and do something with my life. I began dating a woman, who shortly after we began dating had her deadbolt picked on her door and a man gained access to her home. When we discussed the incident with the management at the apartment complex, she suggested a deadbolt that did not have an outside face with a key slot. We said ok, lets get this done. She...

...RESEARCH ON INDIAN HATCHBACKS BY KUNTAL CHOWDHURY PGDM FS; ROLL NO - 12 THE INDIAN HATCHBACKS A Detailed Analysis of the Hatchbacks in the Indian Automobile Market(An Independent Study) AUGUST 2012. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 | Introduction | 2 | Market Share | 3 | Participants | 4 | Brand Overview | 5 | A Segment | 6 | B Segment | 7 | B+ Segment | 8 | Slogans Of Brands | 9 | Conclusion | A hatchback is an automobile designed such that the boot is integrated with the cabin space. The Indian hatchback market is growing each day. Any car maker who is looking for significant volume has a hatchback model in its bucket. The financial year 2010-2011 has seen good growth among hatchbacks in the country. The companies such as Honda and Toyota are keenly eyeing the hatchback space in India. Honda has recently launched the Brio, while Toyota recently launched the Etios Liva. Honda’s premium hatchback, the Jazz, however, has not won much favor with customers and sales have dropped 35 percent year on year. Among hatchbacks in India, Maruti Suzuki is the most dominant player followed by Hyundai and then Tata. Maruti’s Alto is the country’s and the world’s largest selling hatchback, at 346,840 cars being sold in India last year, a growth of 47 percent. The second-largest selling hatchback in the country is again from Maruti – the Wagon R. However, the Wagon R has close competition from the Hyundai i10, which is just behind it, though the i10 hasn’t grown as much...

...17. Disruptive Innovation by Clayton M. Christensen. How to cite in your report. A disruptive technology or disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing market and value network. The term is used in business and technology literature to describe innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect. Although the term disruptive technology is widely used, disruptive innovation seems a more appropriate term in many contexts since few technologies are intrinsically disruptive; rather, it is the business model that the technology enables that creates the disruptive impact.
